God on high, hear my prayer
In my need, you have always been there
He is young, he's afraid
Let him rest, heaven blessed
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home
He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son
The summers die, one by one
How soon they fly, on and on
And I am old and will be gone
Bring him peace, bring him joy
He is young, he is only a boy
You can take, you can give
Let him be, let him live
If I die, let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home
The music of the Night
Night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation.
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination.
Silently the senses abandon their defences...
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour.
Grasp it, sense it tremulous and tender.
Turn your face away from the garish light of day,
Turn your face away from cold, unfeeling light -
and listen to the music of the night...
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before!
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live as you've never lived before.
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you.
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you.
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind,
in this darkness which you know you cannot fight
the darkness of the music of the night.
Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world!
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before!
Let your soul take you where you long to be!
Only then can you belong to me.
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation!
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in,
To the harmony which dreams alone can write,
The power of the music of the night!
You alone can make my song take flight,
Help me make the music of the night.
Flying Free
There is a place I call my own
Where I can stand by the sea
And look beyond the things I've known
And dream that I might be free.
Like the bird above the trees
Gliding gently on the breeze
I wish that all my life I'd be
Without a care and Flying Free.
But life is not a distant sky
Without a cloud, without rain
And I can never hope that I
Can travel on without pain
Time goes swiftly on its way
All too soon we've lost today
I cannot wait for skies of blue
Or dream so long that life is through
So life's a song I must sing
A gift of love I must share
And when I see the joy it brings
My spirits soar through the air
Like that bird up in the sky
Life has taught me how to fly
For now I know what I can be
And now my heart is Flying Free!
Somewhere beyond the sea
somewhere waiting for me
my lover stands on golden sands
and watches the ships that go sailin
Somewhere beyond the sea
she's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
then straight to her arms I'd go sailin'
It's far beyond the stars
it's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
my heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore
we'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
and never again I'll go sailin'
I know beyond a doubt
my heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet (I know we'll meet) beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
and never again I'll go sailin'
no more sailin'
no more sailin'
"It's A Lovely Day Tomorrow"
It's a lovely day tomorrow
Tomorrow is a lovely day
Come and feast your tear-dimmed eyes
On tomorrow's clear blue skies
If today your heart is weary
If ev'ry little thing looks grey
Just forget your troubles and learn to say
Tomorrow is a lovely day
It's a lovely day tomorrow
Tomorrow is a lovely day
Come and feast your tear-dimmed eyes
On tomorrow's clear blue skies
If today your heart is weary
If ev'ry little thing looks grey
Just forget your troubles and learn to say
Tomorrow is a lovely day
Colours of the Wind
You think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon,
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun sweet berries of the Earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
How high does the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then you'll never know
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper-skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the Earth and still
All you'll own is Earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind
As long as I have music
When the world seems for beyond me,
and I have no place to go.
When my life seems cold and empty,
and I feel I'm all alone.
Then a song that I remember
helps to ease my troubled mind,
and I find the strength within me
to reach out just one more time.
For as long as I have music,
as long as there's a song for me to sing,
I can find my may, I can see a brighter day.
The music in my life will set my spirit free.
When the road is dark and lonely
and I feel I want to cry.
When the dreams I keep inside me
seem to fade and almost die.
Then I call upon my music,
and it helps to dry me tears.
And I know that I can make it.
I'll go on despite my fears.
For as long as I have music,
as long as there's a song for me to sing,
I can find my may, I can see a brighter day.
The music in my life will set my spirit free.
"The Carnival Is Over"
Say goodbye my own true lover
As we sing a lovers song
How it breaks my heart to leave you
Now the carnival is gone
High above the dawn is waiting
And my tears are falling rain
For the carnival is over
We may never meet again
Like a drum, my heart was beating
And your kiss was sweet as wine
But the joys of love are fleeting
For Pierrot and Columbine
Now the harbour light is calling
This will be our last goodbye
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die
Like a drum, my heart was beating
And your kiss was sweet as wine
But the joys of love are fleeting
For Pierrot and Columbine
Now the harbour light is calling
This will be our last goodbye
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die
The Rhythm of Life
When I started down the street last Sunday
Feeling mighty low and kind-a mean,
Suddenly a voice said “Go forth neighbour!
Spread the picture on a wider screen!”
And the voice said “Neighbor there’s a million reasons
Go go go
Why you should be glad in all four seasons!
Go go go
Hit the road neighbour, leave your worries and strife!
Tell them ev- ry-
Spread the religion of the rhythm of life!”
Thing you know!
For the rhythm of life is a powerful beat,
Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet!
Rhythm on the inside, rhythm on the street,
And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat!
For the rhythm of life is a powerful beat,
to feel the rhythm of life
Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet!

And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat!
(to feel the tingle in your feet)
Go and spread the gospel in Milwaukee;
Take a walkie talkie to Rocky Ridge!
All the way to Canton, then to Scranton,
Even tell it under the Manhatton Bridge.

You can do it if you try

Try, try, try to fly!

Neighbor you’ve got the rhythm of life
Of life, of life, or life,
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Life!
She is watching by the poplars, Colinette with the sea-blue eyes,
She is watching and longing, and waiting Where the long white roadway lies,
And a song stirs in the silence, As the wind in the boughs above,
She listens and starts and trembles, 'Tis the first little song of love.
Roses are shining in Picardy, In the hush of the silver dew,
Roses are flow'ring in Picardy, But there's never a rose like you!
And the roses will die with the summertime, And our roads may be far apart,
But there's one rose that dies not in Picardy, 'Tis the rose that I keep in my heart
And the years fly on forever, Till the shadows veil their skies,
But he loves to hold her little hands, And look into her sea-blue eyes,
And she sees the road by the poplars, Where they met in the bygone years,
For the first little song of the roses, Is the last little song she hears:
Roses are shining in Picardy, In the hush of the silver dew,
Roses are flow'ring in Picardy, But there's never a rose like you!
And the roses will die with the summertime, And our roads may be far apart,
But there's one rose that dies not in Picardy, 'Tis the rose that I keep in my heart
Lullaby of Broadway
Come and meet those dancing feet
On the avenue I’m taking you to
Forty Second Street!
Come on along and listen to
The lullaby of Broadway
The hip hooray and ballyhoo
The lullaby of Broadway
The rumble of a subway train
The rattle of the taxis
The daffodils who entertain
At Angelo's and Maxie's
When a Broadway baby says good night
It's early in the morning
Manhattan babies don't sleep tight
Until the dawn
Good night, baby
Good night, milkman's on his way
Sleep tight, baby
Sleep tight, let's call it a day
Hey
Come on along and listen to
The lullaby of Broadway
The hi-de-hi and hoo-de-hoo
The lullaby of Broadway
The band begins to go to town
And everyone goes crazy
You rock a bye your baby round
Till everything gets hazy
"Hush a bye, I'll buy you this and that"
You hear a daddy saying
And baby goes home to her flat
To sleep all day
Good night, baby
Good night, milkman's on his way
Sleep tight, baby
Sleep tight, let's call it a day
Listen to the lullaby
Of old Broadway
Fields of Gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold
So she took her love for to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
Walked in fields of gold
Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most every thing I see
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now comin' true especially for me
And the reason is clear, it's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to Heaven that I've seen
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Somethin' in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they`re here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday
Suddenly I`m not half the man I used to be
there`s a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go I don`t know she wouldn`t say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm............
We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly
I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
Far across the world
The villages go by like dreams
The rivers and the hills, the forests and the streams
Children gaze open mouthed
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes
We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy mountains floating by
Suddenly swooping low
On an ocean deep
Rousing up a mighty monster from his sleep
And walking in the air
We're dancing in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly
We're walking in the air
We're walking in the air
There’s a somebody I’m longing to see,
I hope that he
Turns out to be
Someone who’ll watch over me.
I’m a little lamb who’s lost in the wood,
I hope I could
Always be good
To one who’ll watch over me.
Although he may not be the man some girls think of as handsome,
To my heart he carries the key,
Won’t you tell him please to put on some speed,
Follow my lead,
Oh how I need
Someone to watch over me.
Some day he’ll come along
The man I love;
And he’ll be big and strong,
The man I love;
And when he comes my way,
I’ll do my best to make him stay
He’ll look at me and smile,
I’ll understand;
And in a little while
He’ll take my hand;
And though it seems absurd;
I know we both won’t say a word.
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday,
Maybe Monday maybe not;
Still I’m sure to meet him on day,
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day.
He’ll build a little home,
Just meant for two,
From which I’ll never roam,
Who would, would you?
And so all else above,
I’m waiting for the man I love.
I’ve got a crush on you, sweetiepie,
All the day and night-time hear me sigh,
I never had the least notion that I could fall with so much emotion,
Could you coo?
Could you care for a cunning cottage we could share?
The world will pardon my mush,
‘Cause I’ve got a crush, my baby, on you.
I’ve got a crush, my baby, on you,
On you, on you, the man I love.
Secrets of the Wind
Ocean mist and desert sand,
Whispers from a distant land all swirling round from a time so long ago;
Tiny scraps and fragile seeds,
Flying with the memories of people we will never see or know;
Secrets of the wind are blowing through
Listen well my friend and find a few long forgotten stories
And tales that still ring true,
Secrets of the wind are blowing through.
Tales of knights and heroes brave,
Legends from the ancient days full of mysteries, philosophies and clues;
Lessons learned and wisdom gained,
Questions asked, things explained with answers we still seek and timeless truths.
Secrets of the wind are blowing through
Listen well my friends and find a few long forgotten stories
And tales that still ring true,
Secrets of the wind are blowing through.
Listen all around, and wisdom can be found;
Secrets of the wind are blowing through.
That Old Soft Shoe
The raining day rhythm is calling to me,
Rain is falling as far as the eye can see;
The rainy day rhythm is calling to you,
To kick back with that old soft shoe.
The extended invitation;
Join the celebration and dance
Rainy day rhythm is calling to you
To the tintinnabulation of the day’s precipitation
Won’t you take advantage of the chance?
Oh that rainy day rhythm is calling to me
Rain is falling s far as the eye can see
The rainy day rhythm is calling to you
To kick back with that old soft shoe.
INSTRUMENTAL
Oh that rainy day rhythm is calling to me
Rain is falling s far as the eye can see
The rainy day rhythm is calling to you
To kick back with that old .............
That old soft shoe
Rainy day rhythm is calling to you
To kick back with that old soft shoe.
There's a new world somewhere
They call the promised land
And I'll be there someday
If you could hold my hand
I still need you there beside me
No matter what I do
For I know I'll never find another you
There is always someone
For each of us, they say
And you'll be my someone
Forever and a day
I could search the whole world over
Until my life is through
But I know I'll never find another you
It's a long, long journey
So stay by my side
You'll be my guide, be my guide
If they gave me a fortune
My pleasure would be small
I could lose it all tomorrow
And never mind at all
But if I should lose your love, dear
I don't know what I'd do
For I know I'll never find another you
But if I should lose your love, dear
I don't know what I'd do
For I know I'll never find another you
Another you, another you
I danced in the morning when the world was begun,
I dance in the moon and the stars and the sun,
I came down from Heaven and I danced on earth,
At Bethlehem I had my birth.
"Dance then, wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the dance," said he,
"And I'll lead you all wherever you may be,
And I'll lead you all in the dance," said he.
I danced for the scribe and the Pharisee,
They would not dance, they wouldn't follow me.
So I danced for the fishermen,
James and John came with me and the dance went on.
"Dance then, wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the dance," said he,
"And I'll lead you all wherever you may be,
And I'll lead you all in the dance," said he.
I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame,
The Holy people said it was a shame.
They whipped and they stripped and they hung me high,
Left me there on a cross to die.
"Dance then, wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the dance," said he,
"And I'll lead you all wherever you may be,
And I'll lead you all in the dance," said he.
I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black,
It's hard who dance with the devil on your back.
They buried my body, they thought I'd gone,
But I am the dance, and I still go on.
"Dance then, wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the dance," said he,
"And I'll lead you all wherever you may be,
And I'll lead you all in the dance," said he.
They cut me down and I leapt up high;
I am the life that'll never, never die.
I'll live in you if you'll live in me:
I am the Lord of the dance, said he.
Dance, then, wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the dance, said he,
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be,
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he.
