Lovely

Here we, here we go once again.
Chasing a mysterious friend.
For I trust you, yes I know that I can.
Here I go once again.

If you listen, to the message I send.
Your heart can, be your very best friend.
Now open, your hearts door let me in.
A lovely life's about to begin.

La La La La Lovely
La La La La Lovely
La La La La Lovely
La Lovely Life's about to begin!

Here I, here I go once again.
Hoping, you are true to no end.
You can trust me, I  hope you know that you can.
Here I go once again!

La La La La Lovely
La La La La Lovely
La La La La Lovely
La Lovely Life's about to begin!

La La La La Lovely
La La La La Lovely
La La La La Lovely
La Lovely Life's about to begin!

Isn't life so very lovely?
Life can be so very lovely!
If you open your heart to me,
Life will be so very lovely!

Lovely Life's about to begin!

TapDancers

And the rain,
came pouring down.
 And the wind,
is blowing round
your town, your town.

While I'm dry inside,
you're out wet cold 
with fright with fright
So still the sun,
And the moon has begun
the sound of a million tap dancers!

On my roof!
With pride, on my roof with pride.
Sit down!
In a chair let down your hair.

I'm thinking of sunshine
and star form, moon rays aloud. 
Black holes and meteors,
so where is your love? 

And these!
Are my thoughts I give to you 
to the spot where it counts.
In your heart!

So take it 
and show me 
the rest of you then
Stop what you're doing 
and listen!

To the sound of a million tap dancers on your roof top.
Singing!
Moon rays and throwing the sad days out your window.
Through!
A tunnel to where life, where life 
Shouldn't be!

Ahhhh... Ahhhh... Ahhhh... Ahhhh...

Throwing the sad days out your window.
Through!
A tunnel to where life...
Through a tunnel to where life
Shouldn't be!

Lullabies & Apple Pies

Hold
me
close
to you.

Through the night,
I'll be dreaming
of you.

La la la, la la la lullabies
and apple pies,
mangoes 
and you.

Mmmmmm the things I like,
until the night
is through.

Sweet after taste
it's in my mouth,
food for my heart
from you.

To you I give
this candy treat,
you make me feel
so neat.

La la la, la la la lullabies
and apple pies,
mangoes 
and you.

Mmmmmm 
yes, the things I like,
until the night
is through.

La la la, la la la lullabies
and apple pies,
mangoes 
and you.

Mmmmmm 
yes, the things I like,
until the night
is through.
Here I Stand

Here I stand,
on your avenue,
wondering what to do,
should I call on you.

Little boy,
with a heart so pure,
this little girl's,
gotta crush on you.

In the rain,
I've stood for far too long,
singing the same 
old sad and sorry songs

What to do,
for my hearts so true,
don't make it blue
cause baby,
I'm falling for you.

In the rain,
I've stood for far too long,
singing the same 
old sad and sorry songs

What to do,
for my hearts so true,
don't make it blue
cause baby,
I'm falling for you.

Here I stand,
on your avenue
don't make it blue
cause baby,
I'm falling for you.

Miss Betty Grable

Miss Betty Grable
Come have tea
at my table
don't drink that wine.

How is your fella 
did he tell  ya
he didn't tell ya
he's doing time.

They found him in the courtyard
with his cigar tip,
a not so tall ship
and some wine.

He didn't do the crime,
he had no alibi,
it's what the paper said,
who did the crime what was your alibi?

Do you believe it?
Can you conceive it?
How they perceived it,
The Daily Times.

They made him a martyr
and then they bartered
their only daughter
it's such a crime.

Of course it made the paper
no seaside scraper,
no read you later,
The Daily Times.

He didn't do the crime,
he had no alibi,
it's what the paper said,
who did the crime what was your alibi?

Say there you fancy,
pretty lady
been dancing lately
pick me a daisy.

Gloom Chime

When you want to see,
close your eyes and reach me.
When you want to hear,
Sleep free from the fear,
choose your strength 
then seek,
your last other.
Clear the air,
it's all gone in fair time.

I no longer hear the wind chimes baby!
Gloom and doom in my room.
I no longer have the time to spare.
It's all been swept away in misery.
Tell me the tale to your mystery.

Oh you claim to have no history.
That's what you say!
Words undefined, 
lost in your mind!

Crazed fortune teller, gypsy priest!
Fill the platter, it will always remain unreleased.
Hear the people chatter,
mutter with no matter!
I no longer hear the wind chimes.
Where is the laughter?

Just sitting in my room,
filled with gloom!

I no longer hear the wind chimes baby!
Gloom and doom in my room.
I no longer have the time to spare.
It's all been swept away, 
but what do I care anyway.
Be You

When you can't get out,
what you want to show,
turn around and ask yourself
what you need to know.

The only time to come, 
now is on your side.
Rest your sleepy head now.
Let me touch inside your

Eyes.
Your mind.
Travel.
With me.
To my world.
You go over there.
When all you,
need to do,
is be you.

Soar away with me,
to a different place.
Take your time, don't rush inside,
give yourself the space.

Do what you please,
and just set your mind at ease.
Everything can be that simple inside your

Eyes.
Your mind.
Travel.
With me.
To my world.
You go over there.
When all you,
need to do,
is be you.

Shine My Tarnished Sheen

This, 
wondrous moment I feel.
Creeps in, 
through my window sill.
Found in, 
a special place,
Where people, 
smile on their face.

Intervention, 
from beneath the deep blue sea.
Drown, 
thoughts of misery.
Awaken, 
a life unknown.
Finding, 
I'm on my own.

So, dear sweet blue starry sky,
I wish one last dream.
To find me a true love.
To shine my tarnished sheen.

Wait, there's one thing to not forget.
The sun shines within my heart so let.
Me dance, upon the meadow floor.
Dive in, swim to the shore.
Seashells, echo times of past.
But love, can't always last.
So love, yourself within.
Find an end, and then begin.

So, dear sweet blue starry sky, 
I wish one last dream.
To find me a true love.
To shine my tarnished sheen.

Dear sweet blue starry sky,
I wish one last dream.
To find me a true love.
To shine my tarnished sheen.
To shine my tarnished sheen.

Dear sweet blue starry sky.
