Blue skies
Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies
Do I see
Bluebirds
Singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds
All day long
Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly
Blue days
All of them gone
Nothing but blue skies
From now on

Painter Song

If I were a painter
I would paint my reverie
If that's the only way for you to be with me
We'd be there together
Just like we used to be
Underneath the swirling skies for all to see
And I'm dreaming of a place
Where I could see your face
And I think my brush would take me there
But only
If I were a painter
And could paint a memory
I'd climb inside the swirling skies to be with you
And I'm dreaming of a place
Where I could see your face
And I think my brush would take me there
But only
If I were a painter
And could paint a memory
I'd climb inside the swirling skies to be with you
I'd climb inside the skies to be with you

Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again
However far away
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
I will always love you
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again
However far away
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
I will always love you

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just...
Gray skies are gonna clear up
Put on a happy face
Brush off the clouds and cheer up
Put on a happy face
Take of the gloomy mask of tragedy
It's not your style
You'll look so good that you'll be glad
You decided to smile
Pick out a pleasant outlook
Stick out that noble chin
Wipe off that full-of-doubt look
Slap on a happy grin
And spread sunshine all over the place
And put on a happy face
And if you're feeling cross and bitterish
Don't sit and whine
Think of banana splits and licorice
And you'll feel fine
I know a girl so gloomy
She never laugh or sing
She wouldn't listen to me
Now she's a mean old thing
So spread sunshine all over the place
And put on a happy
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you’ll just smile

It’s been days, days
since the pillow welcomed me home.
And in these bleak weeks
I’ve been jealous of the stone.
Just ‘cause my eyes close
don’t mean that I rest.
The weary lays down,
his heart pounds in his chest.
Oh, I’m so in need,
so in need
of a good night’s sleep
I’m sick, sick
of rising in the morn
to the pity of the day
after losing to the night’s scorn.
Just give me one stretch,
one stretch to make me well.
I’m tired of being left
as a shell.
Oh, I’m so in need,
so in need
of a good night’s sleep

Music Of The Night
04:38
|
|||
|
Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night
-piano solo-
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
-piano solo-
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in to
The power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night
-piano break-
You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night

This & That

If I wrote you a song tonight
It would go like this
Mmmmm
If I sang you a song today
I would say these words
Dee Dee Dee Dee doo wee do doo wah
You’re the song I hear
When I close my eyes
Most times the words don’t come
Just this melody
So this song is for you, my dear
Just remember this
Oooooo
And that

Yes, No, Next
06:14

Those youthful inventions
Weren’t well thought out
Required a cleanup crew
And Einsteinian doubt
I just want something simple,
No, not nothing complex
Brother, I’m down to
Yes, no and next
When you say it’s getting too late
Are you referring to time?
My watch was stolen
Left me with a wrist to wind
I’m in the mood for easy (can’t you see)
That would dismiss sex
Brother, do you fit?
Yes, no and next
The lottery was suggested
I didn’t like the odds
Even when I am being
Advised by the gods
No I’m not confused
There’s meaning and context
Sister, take ‘em all ‘sept
Yes, no and next

The Best Is Yet To Come
04:21
|

|
Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum
You came along and everything started'in to hum
Still it's a real good bet
The best is yet to come
The Best is yet to come and babe won't that be fine
You think you've seen the sun
But you ain't seen it shine
A wait til the warm up's under way
Wait til our lips have met
And wait til you see that sunshine day
You ain't seen nothing yet
The best is yet to come
And babe won't it be fine
Best is yet to come,
Come the day you're mine
Come the day you're mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly
We've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drain the cup dry
Wait til your charms are right for these arms, to surround
You think you've flown before
But baby you ain't left the ground
Wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait til I draw you near
And wait til you see that sunshine place
Ain't nothing like it here
The best is yet to come
And babe won't it be fine
The best is yet to come,
Come the day you're mine
Come the day you're mine
