"Auld Lang Syne"

"Auld Lang Syne"



Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne!

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne

And surely ye'll be your pint stowp!
And surely I'll be mine!
And we'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne

We twa hae run about the braes,
An pou'd the gowans fine
But we've wander'd mony a weary fitt,
Sin' auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne

We twa hae paidl'd in the burn,
Frae morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar'd,
Sin auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne

And there's a hand, my trusty fiere!
And gie's a hand o' thine!
And we'll take a right gude-willie waught,
For auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne

"Away In A Manger"

"Away In A Manger"



Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down his sweet head
The stars in the sky
Looked down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing
The poor baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying he makes
I love you, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle
Until morning is nigh

Away in a manger
No crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down his sweet head
The stars in the sky
Looked down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

"Baby Let's Drive"

"Baby Let's Drive"



Hey, if you ever want to get away a while
I got something you want to know
Sometime when your world is on fire
You got to pack your bags and then go
Hey, don't you know you don't belong here
Why don't you come along with me
I'm gonna take you right out of the picture
Put you right into a brand new scene

Open road ahead is all we need
Something says to go and we just leave
And it feels right

Drive, baby, let's drive
We're gonna drive to the edge of the night
Two of us gone
Leavin' the world and the worry behind
Makin' up time
Baby, let's drive

Hey, yeah
So if you really want to get away quick
You need to get with a brand new beat
People around you just a little to slick
I got room here in my front seat
Hey, little girl just sittin' on a high fence
Ain't there a place you'd much rather be
Waitin' around here ain't makin' no sense
I got a way of gettin' us free

Open road ahead is all we want
Somethin' says to go and then we're gone
And it feels right

Drive, baby, let's drive
We're gonna drive to the edge of the night
Two of us gone
Leavin' the world and the worry behind
Makin' up time
Baby, let's drive, c'mon now

So if you really want to chase the moon
I got a way to makin' it real
Turn up the sound on a get away tune
Can't wait to get behind the wheel
Yeah, if you really want to get out baby
Take you to where you want to be
Seem just a little bit lost, so baby
Why don't you come along and see

Open road is all we'll ever need
Never know where open roads can lead
And it feels right

Drive, baby, let's drive
We're gonna drive to the edge of the night
Two of us gone
Leavin' the world and the worry behind
Makin' up time
We gonna drive
Come on and drive
Everybody, let's drive
Start up and get free
Drive, c'mon and drive
Yeah, baby, let's drive

"Baby, Can I Hold You"

"Baby, Can I Hold You"



Sorry, is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily, like sorry
Like sorry

Forgive me, is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily, like forgive me
Forgive me

But you can say, baby
Baby, can I hold you tonight
Baby, if I told you the right words,
At the right time, you'd be mine

I love you, is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily, like I love you
I love you

But you can say, baby
Baby, can I hold you tonight
Baby, if I told you the right words
At the right time, you'd be mine
Yeah you'd be mine babe
You'd be mine

But you can say, baby
Baby, can I hold you tonight
Baby, if I told you the right words
Yeah, at the right time, you'd be mine
You'd be mine
Yeah, you'd be mine

"Back From Baltimore"

"Back From Baltimore"


Hey, see how she kissed me
Yeah, no reason for the girl to lie
She say she gonna miss me
Yeah, smile on my face, I wave goodbye

But I've been back from Baltimore
For a week or two
I hurried back from Baltimore
Baby, where are you?
Where are you?

Yeah, I'm about to crumble
Yeah, come see me die before your eyes
Yeah, my thoughts all jumbled
And my throat is dry from asking why

But I've been back from Baltimore
For a week or two
I hurried back from Baltimore
Baby, where are you?
Where are you?

[Instrumental]

Girl, I've been back from Baltimore
For a week or two
I hurried back from Baltimore
Baby where are you?
Well, I've been back from Baltimore
For a week or two
I hurried back from Baltimore
Baby, where are you?
Where are you?

"Back Home Again In Indiana"

"Back Home Again In Indiana"



I have always been a wand'rer
Over land and sea
Yet a moonbeam on the water
Casts a spell o'er me
A vision fair I see
Again I seem to be
Back home again in Indiana
And it seems that I can see
The gleaming candlelight still shining bright
Thro' the sycamores for me
The new mown hay sends all its fragrance
From fields I used to roam
When I dream
About the moonlight on the Wabash
Then I long for my Indiana home
Fancy paints on mem'ry's canvas
Scenes that we hold dear
We recall them in days after
Clearly they appear
And often times I see
A scene that's dear to me
Back home again in Indiana
And it seems that I can see
The gleaming candlelight still shining bright
Thro' the sycamores for me
The new mown hay sends all its fragrance
From fields I used to roam
When I dream
About the moonlight on the Wabash
Then I long for my Indiana home

"Back In L.A."

"Back In L.A."



Oh, yeah
I never knew the sun could feel so good
And for a while I thought it never would
Then I got home and finally understood
It's good to be back in L.A. again
Good to be back on my own ground
It's good to be back in L.A. again
Good to be back in my home town

Oh yeah
I've traveled down
The streets of Amsterdam
Sung to a princess,
And I called her ma'am
Hung out in London and in Paris, France
It's good to be back in L.A. again
Good to be back on my own ground
Good to be back in L.A. again
Good to be back in my home town

Hey, this is my world, oh yeah
For the better or the worse, oh no
And this is my life, oh yeah
You don't get to rehearse, oh no

This is my time, and I like being free
I know I can do it if L.A. is there for me

Oh, yeah
I never knew
The sun could shine so bright
I can't remember
Where I stayed last night
But now I'm home,
And everything's all right
C'mon and say "Oh yeah"
Now let me hear you say "Oh Yeah"
Need to hear you say "Oh Yeah"
Got to hear you say " Oh Yeah"
Good to be back in L.A.
Oh, yeah

"Ballad Of The Super Stud (I Ain't Got No Trouble Gettin' It On)"

"Ballad Of The Super Stud (I Ain't Got No Trouble Gettin' It On)"



Hey, a woman made my habit
Lord I need to have
Feel just like a lion
A woman's like a little calf
And everything I got
Is everything that I want
And I ain't got no trouble gettin' it on, babe
Hey, I ain't got not trouble gettin' it on

A flower's made for pickin'
One that fits me is better off
Than the one that fades away
And everything I got
Is everything that I want
And I ain't got no trouble gettin' it on, babe
Hey, I ain't got no trouble gettin' it on

Mary Jean from New Orleans
She said she married mainly for love
But before she could say
She wasn't that kind of girl
Uh, she was!

Girl you better look out
'Cause love is a little like Chinese food
You're hungry after half an hour
And everything I got
Is everything I want
I ain't got no trouble gettin' it on, baby
Hey, I ain't got no trouble gettin' it on
C'mon, hey, hey, hey, hey

"Be"

"Be"



Lost
On a painted sky
Where the clouds are hung
For the poet's eye
You may find him
If you may find him

There
On a distant shore
By the wings of dreams
Through an open door
You may know him
If you may

Be
As a page that aches for a word
Which speaks on a theme that is timeless
And the one God will make for your day

Sing
As a song in search of a voice that is silent
And the sun
God will make for your way

And we dance
To a whispered voice
Overheard by the soul,
Undertook by the heart
And you may know it
If you may know it

While the sand would become the stone
Which begat the spark
Turned to living bone
Holy, holy
Sanctus, sanctus

Be
As a page that aches for a word
Which speaks on a theme that is timeless
While the one God will make for your day

Sing
As a song in search of a voice that is silent
And the one God will make for your way
