"Signs"

"Signs"



Signs that burn like shooting stars
That pass across the nighttime skies
They reach out in their mystic language
For us to read between the lines
Some are born who would defy them
Others still who would deny them
Signs

Signs like moments hung suspended
Echoes just beneath the heart
Speak in voices half remembered
And half remembered play their part
Signs that come as we lay sleeping
Left behind for our keeping
Signs

Sail along, sail along the reefs
And the coves inside your soul
Sail along, sail along in search of a star
That you can hold
And we journey far, to where that star
May lead to....

Signs that whisper in the dreams
Of sailors and of river queens
Of paupers and of men with means
It all depends on how it reads
And some are born who never need them
Others still who never read them
Signs

Sail along, sail along the reefs
And the coves inside your soul
Sail along, sail along in search of a star
That you can hold
Don't we journey far to where that star
May lead to.....

Signs
Signs
Some are born who never need them
Others still who never read them
Signs

"Silent Night"

"Silent Night"



Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia
Christ the Savior, is born!
Christ the Savior, is born!

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

"Silver Bells"

"Silver Bells"


City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air
There's a feeling of Christmas

Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on ev'ry street corner you'll hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day

[Spoken:]
Yes, I remember
The silver bells of my youth.
From the streets of Brooklyn
They rang up through my window,
And made me smile

Strings of street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the mallers rush home
With their treasures

Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle
You'll hear Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day
Soon it will be Christmas day

"Sinatra Suite: I've Got You Under My Skin / One For My Baby"

"Sinatra Suite: I've Got You Under My Skin / One For My Baby"



I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart
You're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin

I've tried so not to give in
I've said to myself
This affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist
When darling I know so well
I've got you under my skin

So set 'em' up Joe
I got a little story
You outta know
I got the routine
So drop another nickel
In the machine

'Cause I've got her under my skin

I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice
That comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear

Don't you know you little fool
You never can win
Use your mentality
Wake up to reality
But each time I do,
Just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin

So set 'em up Joe,
I got a little story
That you outta know

"Singin' In The Rain"

"Singin' In The Rain"



I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
'Cause the sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I'll walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
'Cause I'm singing
Just singing in the rain

"Sir Duke"

"Sir Duke"



Music is a world within itself
With a language we all understand
With an equal opportunity
For all to sing, dance and clap their hands
But just because a record has a groove
Don't make it in the groove
But you can tell right away at letter A
When the people start to move

They can feel it all over
They can feel it all over people
They can feel it all over
They can feel it all over people

Music knows it is and always will
Be one of the things that life just won't quit
But here are some of music's pioneers
That time will not allow us to forget
For there's Basie, Miller, Satchmo
And the king of all Sir Duke
And with a voice like Ella's ringing out
There's no way the band can lose

You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people

"Skybird"

"Skybird"


Skybird
Make your sail
And every heart
Will know of the tale

[Spoken:]
And head for the farthest shore

Songbird
Make your tune
For none may sing it just as you do

[Spoken:]
And make your song be heard

Look at the way I glide
Caught on the winds lazy tide
Sweetly how it sings
Rally each heart
At the sight of your silver wings

Skybird
Skybird
Night bird
Find your way
For none may know it just as you may

[Spoken:]
Seek out your harbor of light
Let your song be heard
Rally each heart
To the sight of your silver wings
Skybird

"Sleep With Me Tonight"

"Sleep With Me Tonight"



Something in your eyes tonight
Told me to stay
It's been so long,
But to see you this way
Makes me want to hold you
Tell you that I'm sorry
Tell you that I need to
Be with you tonight

Baby, won't you let me in
We tried it apart
But here we are together again
Makes me know I've missed you
Makes me know I need you
Tell you how I want to
Be with you tonight

And now I finally understand
How much I've missed
You loved me once
Please, love me once again

Can I sleep with you tonight?
Let's try it again
For one last time for the rest of our lives

Baby, be forgiving
What's been done is done now
Let's you and me be one
Come, sleep with me tonight
Oh, yeah

Come sleep with me
And stay til tomorrow
Or maybe forever
Just stay
Come sleep with me tonight
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Together
Come sleep with me tonight

"Sleigh Ride"

"Sleigh Ride"



Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing
Ring ting tingle-ing too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "You hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap let's go
Just look at the snow
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with the song
Of a wintry fairy land

Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together like
Birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

There's a birthday party
At the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs
We love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace
While we watch the chestnuts pop

There's a happy feeling
Nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee
And the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print
By Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives

Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing
Ring ting tingle-ing too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Come on ,it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Oh yeah, lovely weather
For a sleigh ride with you, with you
Me and you
Snuggle up closer babe

"Slow It Down"

"Slow It Down"



Pick it up
Hurry up son
We gotta run if you wanna get down
Clean speed
Where does it need you
If you wanna succeed
I'm thinking you need to
But are y really sure

It's a lot to endure
But i got me a cure
Slow it down!
Slow it down you
Slow it down
Take your time and you'll find your time has a meaning
Easy now
Catch those sounds of your heartbeat before it's leaving
You say you want satisfaction
Just steaming away from the action
Get some traction
Between you and the scenery

Say hello way
Not to fast
It don't last
Just follow my reflection

Day by day
See that view
It's for you
Just pay some affection

Forget about competition
Your doover and intuition
Stop your wishing
Won't get there by dreaming

Slow it down!
Slow it down you
Take your time
Even last and reclaim
Desine and desting

Doing fine
Make it flow
Let it go
You'll see it walk the alley
You're looking for bitter and greater
And counting on sooner and later
That's the way you won't be free
Slow it down!
Slow it down
Slow it down
Slow it down you
Slow it down
Slow it down
