"I'm Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes"

"I'm Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes"

'Twould been better for us both had we never
In this wide and wicked world had never met,
For the pleasure we've both seen together
I'm sure, love, I'll never forget.
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
Who is sailing far over the sea.
I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
And I wonder if he ever thinks of me.
Oh, you told me once, dear, that you loved me;
You said that that we never would part.
But a link in the chain has been broken
Leaves me with a sad and aching heart.
When the cold, cold grave shall enclose me
Will you come dear and shed just one tear
And say to the strangers around you
A poor heart you have broken lies here

"I've Been Lookin'"

"I've Been Lookin'"

I've been lookin' for a love
Someone to hold as I lay sleeping
I'm not talking about someone who's scared of promises or keeping 'em
I'm just looking for a love to stand the test of time
I've been lookin' for someone to be all mine

I had too much lonely
I need a one and only
Someone I can care about and call my own
Well in true tradition
Without an intermission
We'll still be together when the kids are grown.

I've been lookin for a love
Someone to hold as I lay sleeping
I'm not talking about someone who's scared of promises or keeping 'em
I'm just lookin' for a love to stand the test of time
I've been looking for someone to be all mine.

I've been lookin for a love
Someone to hold as I lay sleeping
I'm not talking about someone who's scared of promises or keeping 'em
I'm just looking for a love to stand the test of time
I've been looking for someone to be all mine.

I've been looking for some one to be all mine.
I've been looking for some one to be all mine.
I've been looking for some one to be all mine.

I've been lookin for a love
Someone to hold as I lay sleeping
I'm not talking about someone who's scared of promises or keeping 'em
I'm just looking for a love to stand the test of time
I've been looking for someone to be all mine.

"If This Ain't Love"

"If This Ain't Love"

If this ain't love, we're dancing all around it
Honey, who knows how we might have found it
Call it what you want and that's close enough
If this ain't real I don't know what else it is
Anything better, I never felt it
What could it be if this ain't love

We've been out in the rain
Laughing out loud
We've been so afraid to say
All that we've been feeling up till now
So we walk to the river, let the world go on by
I can see all the answers in your eyes

If this ain't love, I wonder what it could be
Sure feels like everything it should be
I'm just glad it finally took ahold of us
If this ain't it, where we gonna find it
Seems like we've been sneakin' up behind it
Sure would be surprised if this ain't love

We've both been fooled before
So we took it kind of slow
We can't deny it anymore
No sense in pretending we don't know
It's a new situation that we got on our hands
And it's changing all of our plans

If this ain't love, we're dancing all around it
Honey who knows how we went have found it
Call it what you want and that's close enough
If this ain't love, where we gonna find it
Seems like we've been sneakin' up behind it
Sure would be surprised if this ain't love
Sure would be surprised if this ain't love
If this ain't love

"In For The Night"

"In For The Night"

Stare up at me, momma, like ya used to
Weather's kind of cold but I don't care
Fatten up that ol' Rhode Island rooster
It's gettin' to feel like fall at the county fair

Well, there's a Jaybird flyin' home to Mobile
Sleepin' in your cornfield for a while
Seems he just backed into a square meal
And he's in for the night

So fine, yellow moon reflectin'
Through the frost along the window pane
Well, I'm a shootin' star in the wrong direction
Hey, I love you, momma, but I just can't seem to change

And like that Jaybird flyin' home to Mobile
Sleepin' in your cornfield for a while
Seems I just backed into a square meal
And I'm in for the night

And if I was one for speculatin'
I suspect I might be back around
Well, you might find me riding on a breeze a-blowin'
Northern bound

Hey, like that Jaybird flyin' home to Mobile
Sleepin' in your cornfield for a while
Seems I just backed into a square meal
And I'm in for the night

"In Her Eyes"

"In Her Eyes"

She never seems to say alot
But I know she's got alot to say
She keeps her feelings to herself
But I know she's feeling more that way

She don't have to talk to me
Of love that never dies
I can see her feelings
In her eyes

And in her eyes
You can see the places that she's been
You see the faces of the men
She knew so well

And in her eyes
You can see the dreams that might be real
You see the scenes she can't conceal
But will not tell

Ooh, whoa, I know the story well

She's everybody's mystery
With her silence and her secret dreams
She's anything you want her to be
Anything but what she seems

And if you'd like to know her better
You can see through her disguise
You can see her feelings
In her eyes

And in her eyes
You can see the places that she's been
You see the faces of the men
She knew so well

And in her eyes
You can see the dreams that might be real
You see the scenes she can't conceal
But will not tell

Ooh, whoa, I know the story well
I know the story well
In her eyes
In her eyes
You can see it in her eyes

"It Came Upon A Midnight Clear"

"It Came Upon A Midnight Clear"

It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold
Peace on the earth goodwill to men
From heavens all gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing

Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world
Above its sad and lowly plain
They bend on hovering wing
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing

For lo, the days are hastening on
That prophets bard foretold
When with the ever circling years
Shall come to a time foretold
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendor bring
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing
It came upon the midnight clear

"It's A New Day"

"It's A New Day"

Sleep deprived, an' fallin' apart.
Starin' down your demons out there in the dark.
At the end of the tunnel, you can see a light:
Well, if that ain't a train, you made it through the night.

An' it's a new day in the mornin':
Anythin' is possible, it's all good.
For brief shinin' moment,
Everythin' is wonderful,
Knock on wood.
Knock on wood.

Well, you get knocked down an' you get back up.
You get knocked down again; well, it's just your luck, hah.
It's just one of those years, that you gotta get through.
An' then you wake up an' find, it made a man outta you.

It's a new day in the mornin':
Anythin' is possible an' it's all good.
For brief shinin' moment,
Everythin' is wonderful,
Knock on wood.
Knock on wood.

It's a little humblin' down on your knees.
Ah, but if you say: "Please."

An' it's a new day in the mornin':
An' anythin' is possible an' it's all good. (It's all good.)
For brief shinin' moment,
Everythin' is wonderful,
Knock on wood.
Knock on wood.

"It's Morning"

"It's Morning"

One parrot in a cage
At the home of a friend
Is reason to wonder and stare
Green wings and red face
And a sapphire belly
A racket so loud
As to out shout the tele

But this morning my prayer
By the side of the sea
Took odds to turn back
To the moon in the trees
Where a green cloud of birds
In a flock of a thou'
Yelled from one to another
It's morning out loud

It's morning, it's morning
It's morning they cried
From the edge of the treetops
To the edge of the skies
It's morning, it's morning
It's morning they cried
So open your heart
When you open your eyes

And the sound of their voices
Together did blend
Forming chords of awakening
If I'm not here again
For they shouted
Never again would they fly
In such numbers across
Such a primitive sky

And they noticed my heart
As it sank to the sand
Do not hurry they called
It's all part of a plan

[Chorus]

"It's Raining Here In Long Beach"

"It's Raining Here In Long Beach"

It's been raining here in Long Beach
The dampness in the air
Tends to straighten out my hair
Against my wishes
But the traces of a song reach
My tattered ear once more
Lend me courage to ignore
The smell of fishes

I was a drunken lout, I ran about
With ladies that I knew
I did 'em wrong all night long
Singing 23 skidoo

Huzahh...huzahh...
Once upon a time I was a kid
Well I don't know what happened then
But I'm warning all you younger men
On your way to Long Beach think again
You can't afford to settle down in Long Beach

I had a rack and coat, a paddle boat
I played the ukelele
Beneath the moon in June I'd croon
Won't you come on home little baby

Huzahh...huzahh...
Once upon a time I was a kid
But now my hair is turning gray
I'm getting fatter every day
If you got any sense you'll stay away
And never give another thought to Long Beach
And never give a moment's thought to Long Beach

"It’s About Time"

"It’s About Time"

We've been together for a while
Look how far we've come
Guess we both thought this would be
Just another kiss and run
But feelings grew stronger
Day after day
'Til we both were certain
That it was meant to be this way

It's about time, baby
And it's about love
It's about tomorrow
And all we can become
It's about time darlin'
And it's about trust
It's about forever
And it's about us

I never thought I'd feel so sure
About anyone
Where each emotion is so clear
Now that day has finally, finally come

I never thought I'd feel so sure
About anyone
Now every single doubt is gone
And I know that you're the one

It's about time, baby
And it's about love
It's about tomorrow
And all we can become
It's about time, darlin'
And it's about trust
It's about forever
And it's about us

It's about time
It's about us
