Both Sides Now

Bows and flows of angel hair
Ice cream castles in the air
And feathered canyons everywhere
I'd look at clouds that way

Now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I could have done
The clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud's illusions I recall
I really don't know cloud at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris Wheels
Dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale complete
I'd look at love that way

But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughin' when you go
And if you care don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all

Brand On My Heart

My troubled old heart dear is beating with pain,
You've gone and I know I'm the one who's to blame,
You've gone in the world to make a new start,
And left as a mem'ry your brand on my heart.

They say you were crying while packing your things
And left me your locket and bright golden rings,
The plans for your future I've broken apart
Now all I have left is your brand on my heart.

You say you were sorry it ended this way
And that I'll find someone to love me someday,
Another to cherish the love you once knew,
But darling that someone can only be you.

The flowers you planted, that rose you loved best
Its soft velvet petals are now closed in death
The birds have hushed singing, it all plays a part
To deepen the wound of your brand on my heart.

I'm appealing to you for forgiveness today
For all of your tears darling I've had to pay,
If you'll just forgive me we'll make a new start
And no more will I carry your brand on my heart.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

When you're weary and feeling small
When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all
I'm on your side when times get rough and friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down

When you're down and out when you're on the street
When evening falls so hard I will comfort you
I'll take your part when darkness comes and pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down

Sail on silver girl sail on by
Your time has come to shine all your dreams're on their way
See how they shine if you need a friend I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind
I will ease your mind

Bright Lights Big City

Bright lights, big city
Gone to my baby's head
Bright lights, big city
Gone to my baby's head

I'd tried to tell the woman
But she doesn't believe a word I said
Go light pretty baby...
Gonna need my help some day
It's all right pretty baby...
Gonna need my help some day

You're gonna wish you listened
To some of those things I said


Go ahead pretty baby
Oh, honey knock yourself out
Go ahead pretty baby
Oh honey knock yourself out

I still love you baby
Cause you don't know what it's all about

Bright lights, big city
Gone to my baby's head
Bright lights, big city
Gone to my baby's head

Bubbles In My Beer

Tonight in a bar alone
I'm sitting apart from
The laughter and the cheer
Scenes from the past
Rise before me while
Watching the bubbles in my beer
Visions of someone
Who loved me brings
Along salty tears to my eyes
And I know that my life's
Been a failure
Watching the bubbles in my beer

I'm seeing the road
That I've travelled
A road paved
With heartaches and tears
And I'm seeing the past
That I've wasted
Watching the bubbles in my beer
Visions of someone who loved me...

"(I Don't Have A Reason) To Go To California Anymore"

"(I Don't Have A Reason) To Go To California Anymore"



I meet her by the ocean laying in the California sun
And she was some thing special like I never found in anyone
But living here in Texas sure kept this ole boy on the moon
She sad when I wasn’t with her someone else would be pulling of her shoes
That gal she hypnotized me and had me baying airline tickets every week
But every time I mention Texas she moved a little further up the beach
Then today she finely told me long distance love ain’t working like before
And you don’t have a reason to come to California any more

I don’t have a reason to go to California anymore
And when she closed her hart
She closed the California door
I might as well fall in the ocean
Like I’ve heard them say a hundred times before
Cause I don’t have a reason to go to California anymore

I might as well fall in the ocean
Like I’ve heard them say a hundred times before
Cause I don’t have a reason to go to California anymore
I don’t have a reason to go to California anymore

"A Dreamer's Holiday"

"A Dreamer's Holiday"



Climb aboard a butterfly,
An' take off on the breeze,
Let your worries flutter by,
An' do the things you please,
In a land where dollar bills,
Are fallin' off the trees,
On a dreamer's holiday!

Every day for breakfast,
There's a dish of scrambled stars,
An' for lunchin' you'll be munchin'
Rainbow candy bars,
You'll be livin' a la mode,
On Jupiter and Mars,
On a dreamer's holiday!

Make it a long vacation,
Time, there is plenty of,
You need no reservation,
Just bring along the one you love!

Help yourself to happiness,
An' sprinkle it with mirth,
Close your eyes an' concentrate,
An' dream for all you're worth,
You will feel terrific,
When you get back down to earth,
From a dreamer's holiday!

You, climb aboard a butterfly,
An' take off on the breeze,
Let your worries flutter by,
An' do the things you please,
In a land where dollar bills,
Are fallin' off the trees,
On a dreamer's holiday!

Every day for breakfast,
There's a dish of scrambled stars,
And for lunchin' you'll be munchin'
Rainbow candy bars,
You'll be livin' a la mode,
On Jupiter and Mars,
On a dreamer's holiday!

Come on, we're gonna make it a long vacation,
Time, there is plenty of,
You need no reservation,
Just bring along the one you love!

Help yourself to happiness,
An' sprinkle it with mirth,
Close your eyes an' concentrate,
An' dream for all you're worth,
You will feel terrific,
When you get back down to earth,
From a dreamer's holiday!

"A Maiden's Prayer"

"A Maiden's Prayer"


Twilight falls, ev'nin' shadows find,
There 'neath the stars, a maiden, so fair, divine.
Lonely there she kneels, and tells the stars above
In her heart is a song, an' there it belongs:
Her undying song of love.
Ev'ry word reveals an empty broken heart
Broken by fate that held them so far apart.
Stars on high, seem to know she's there.
In her heart is a song, an' there it belongs:
Her undying song of love.

[Instrumental close]

"A Penny For Your Thoughts"

"A Penny For Your Thoughts"


Memories are haunting you and they're making you feel blue
Darling a penny for your thoughts
Are you thinking of the past and a love that didn't last
Darling a penny for your thoughts
And it hurts me so to see the sorrow written on your face
And I hope and pray that some tomorrow I can take his place
But if someday we should part you can say a broken heart
Offered a penny for your thoughts
[guitar]
And it hurts me so...
Offered a penny for your thoughts
