"Thank You Love"

"Thank You Love"


Thank you love
You made me happy in so many ways
Through all my sweet and ender yesterdays
You were the sunshine I needed love

You were there
You warmed my heart when troubled skies would come
You were my one and only faithful one
I wanna really really thank you love

Thank you love
With all my heart and soul I thank you love
Each day that comes and goes I thank you love
I thank you 'cause you gave me true love

I was lost
Somewhere along life's road I was lost
And on that lonesome road our bridges crossed
You showed me the way to tender love

It's a miracle
Just like the sunshine makes the flower grow
That's just the way you change my whole life show
Through the sunshine of your tender love

Thank you love
With every breath I take I thank you love
With every new day break I thank you love
I thank you 'cause you gave me true love

Oh my darling, When I'm down
You'll gently squeeze these hands of mine
And I feel just like a child at Christmas time
'cause I could feel the nearness of your love

Oh my darling I've been blessed
A precious thing is this that I possess
Could fill this heart on mine with happiness
I wanna really really thank you love

Oh my baby thank you love
With all my heart and soul I thank you love
Each day that comes and goes I thank you love
I thank you 'cause you gave me true true love
Thank you, thank you, thank you

"That Girl"

"That Girl"


That girl thinks that she's so fine
That soon she'll have my mind
That girl thinks that she's so smart
That soon she'll have my heart
She thinks in no time flat
That she'll be free and clear to start
With her emotional rescue of love that you'll leave turn apart

That girl thinks that she's so bad
She'll change my tears from joy to sad
She says she keeps the upper hand
'Cause she can please her man
She doesn't use her love to make him weak
She uses love to keep him strong
And inside me there's no room for doubt
That it won't be too long

Before I tell her that I love her
That I want her
That my mind, soul and body needs her
Tell her that I'd love to, that I want to
That I need to do all that I have to
To be in her love

I've been hurting for a long time
And you've been playing for a long time
You know it's true
I've been holding for a long time
And you've been running for a long time
It's time to do what we have to do
That girl, That girl

That girl knows every single man
Would ask her for her hand
But she says her love is much too deep
For them to understand
She says her love has been crying out
But her lover hasn't heard
But what she doesn't realize is that I've listened to every word

That's why I know I'll tell that I love her
That I want her
That my mind, soul and body needs her
Tell her that I'd love to, that I want to
That I need to do all that I have to
To be in her love

Tell her I love her
That I want her
That my mind and soul and body needs her
Tell her that I'd love to, that I want to
That I need to do all that I have to
To be in her love

That I love her
That I want her
That my mind and soul and body needs her
Tell her that I'd love to, that I want to
That I need to do all that I have to...

Tell her that I love her
That I want her
That my mind and soul and body needs her
Tell her that I'd love to, that I want to
That I need to do all that I have to
To be in her...

That girl, that girl, that girl,
Oh, That girl, that girl, that girl, that girl...

"The Christmas Song"

"The Christmas Song"


Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack frost nipping at your nose

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
and folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow
Will find it hard sleeping tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
and ev'ry Mother's child is gonnna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

[Harmonica solo]

And so I'm offering this simple phrase

"The Day That Love Began"

"The Day That Love Began"


Once upon a Christmas eve
A shepherd who believed
That peace could come to any man
Made a promise to the star above
The day that love began

I will give to him my lamb
A shepherds all I am
And so he walked the lonely sand
To find the place his heart was dreaming of
The day that love began

Over meadows over mountains
They came from valleys and from streams
Every poet and every king
And one little shepherd with a dream

But as the shepherd knelt to pray
His lamb just ran away
And tear drops filled his empty hand
He broke his promise to the star above
The day that love began

Then the smiling face of Mary
Beckoned the shepherd to her side
Today you gave him the best gift of all
The moment that you cried

Once upon a Christmas eve
A shepherd who believed
That peace could come to any man
Found the place his heart was dreaming of
And he kept his promise to the star above
The day that love began

"The House On The Hill"

"The House On The Hill"


See that house, that house up on the hill
Let me tell you that's where my little darlin' live

Come late tonight I'll have a handful of rocks
And I know arm strength is strong enough
To make one hit the top

And if I do she'll come running out that room
(She'll come running out there)
She's gonna know that it is me, me, me, me
That's our signal, can't you see? Oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh what joy that house holds for me
That's why I stand here all night throwing rocks,
Can't you see?

Tryin' to get the attention of the girl I love
So she can be here with me under the stars above

And when I do
(When I do, when I do)
She'll come runnin' out that room
(She'll come runnin' out)
She's gonna know that it's Stevie, Stevie,
Stevie, St-St-Stevie

That's our signal, can't you see?
Oh yeah, hey hey hey

And I can see that girl runnin' down the hill
Me runnin' out to meet her, oh what a thrill
(When I see her face, moonlight in her hair)
When I see her face, moonlight in her hair

My heart beats fast because she's in my arms at last
Hey hey hey hey!

Y'all gotta see
(Y'all gotta see)
See that house, see that house up on the hill
(House up on the hill)

There's gonna be a wedding there, oh yes there will
(Oh yes there will, yeah baby)
This old arm of mine won't have to throw no more rocks

Because I'll have my cookie here with me all around the clock
(Have my cookie here)
And when I do we'll have happiness I bet you

She's gonna belong to me, me, me, me
We'll have a life of ecstasy, oh yeah, oh yeah
Just us two up on the hill
Everything's gonna be alright

Oh yeah yeah yeah

Everything's gonna be outta sight up there on the hill
Lovin', good lovin', sweet lovin', every single night

"The Lonesome Road"

"The Lonesome Road"


Look down, look down
That lonesome road
Before you travel on

Look up, look up
And seek your maker
Before Gabriel blows his horn

I'm weary of toting, such a heavy load
Trudging down, that lonesome road

Look down, look down
That lonesome road
Before you travel on

I'm weary of toting, such a heavy load
Trudging down, that lonesome road

Look down, look down
Look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on

True love, true love
What have I done
Tell me what have I done
That you should treat me so

You - caused me
Yes you caused me
To walk and talk
Like I never did before

I'm weary of toting, such a heavy load
Trudging down, that lonesome road

Look down, look down
Look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on

"The Masquerade"

"The Masquerade"


My blue horizon is turning gray
And my dreams are drifting away
Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
Your love and so is love
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci and get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci with tears in my eyes
You look the same
You're a lot the same
But my heart says "No, no, you're not the same"
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
Your words don't mean what they used to me
They were once inspired, now they're just routine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over

"The Party At The Beach House"

"The Party At The Beach House"


We're gonna have a party at the beach house
Everybody's gonna have a good time

We're gonna have a party at the beach house
Everybody's gonna have a good time

You're gonna see all of your friends
You haven't seen since school begins

We're gonna swing at the beach house
All the girls in hot black dress
Waiting for summer to get back now

We're gonna have a party at the beach house
Everybody's gonna have a good time they got to

"The Secret Life Of Plants"

"The Secret Life Of Plants"


I can't conceive the nucleus of all
Begins inside a tiny seed
And what we think as insignificant
Provides the purest air we breathe

But who am I to doubt or question the inevitable being
For these are but a few discoveries
We find inside the Secret Life of Plants

A species smaller than the eye can see
Or larger than most living things
And yet we take from it without consent
Our shelter, food, habilment

But who am I to doubt or question the inevitable being
For these are but a few discoveries
Wwe find inside the Secret Life of Plants

But far too many give them in return
A stomp, cut, drown, or burn
As is they're nothing
But if you ask yourself where would you be
Without them you will find you would not

And some believe antennas are their leaves
That spans beyond our galaxy
They've been, they are and probably will be
Who are the mediocrity

But who am I to doubt or question the inevitable being
For these are but a few discoveries
We find inside the Secret Life of Plants
For these are but a few discoveries
We find inside the Secret Life of Plants
