Summer Breeze
05:06
|
|||
|
See the curtains hangin' in the window
In the evenin' on a Friday night
Little light is shinin' through the window
Lets me know everything's alright
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
See the paper layin' on the sidewalk
A little music from the house next door
So I walked on up to the doorstep
Through the screen and across the floor
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom
July is dressed up and playing her tune
And I come home from a hard day's work
And you're waiting there, not a care in the world
See the smile awaitin' in the kitchen
Food cookin' in the plates for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me
In the evening when the day is through
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind

Fragile
04:30
|
|||
|
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
How fragile we are how fragile we are

Groovin
04:26
|

|
Groovin' on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon
I can't imagine anything that's better
The world is ours whenever we're together
There ain't a place I'd like to be instead of
Movin' down a crowded avenue
Doin' anything we like to do
There's always lots of things that we can see
We can be anyone we like to be
And all those happy people we could meet
Just groovin' on a Sunday afternoon
Really, couldn't get away too soon
No, no, no, no
We'll keep on spending sunny days this way
We're gonna talk and laugh our time away
I feel it coming closer day by day
Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly
Groovin' on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away to soon
No, no, no, no
Groovin', groovin'

Heal Over
04:52
|
|||
|
It isn't very difficult to see why
You are the way you are
Doesn't take a genius to realise
That sometimes life is hard
It's gonna take time
But you'll just have to wait
You're gonna be fine
But in the meantime
Come over here lady
Let me wipe your tears away
Come a little nearer baby
Coz you'll heal over
Heal over
Heal over someday
And I don't wanna hear you tell yourself
That these feelings are in the past
You know it doesn't mean they're off the shelf
Because pain's built to last
Everybody sails alone
But we can travel side by side
Even if you fail
You know that no one really minds
Come over here lady
Don't hold on but don't let go
I know it's so hard
You've got to try to trust yourself
I know it's so hard, so hard
Come over here lady
Let me wipe your tears away
Come a little nearer baby
Coz you'll heal over, heal over, heal over someday

Imagine
06:28
|

|
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Aha-ahh
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
Yoohoo-Ooh
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
Yoohoo-Ooh
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

'Cause of You
04:19
|
|||
|
Born in 1934
Guess you'd be 73 today
Except it's been nearly 24 years
Since you slipped away
I'll have another coffee
And a bite of something sweet
I'll taste the memories you left behind
I'll cry for the parts of me you didn't meet
And though you're gone you're still givin to me
Cause of you I am
Opening my heart a little wider
Cause of you I am
Hoping I might be a little kinder
Cause of you I am
Diggin deep and givin everything I've got
Cause of you
I am
Well you taught me it's the small things that count
It's really not that hard
Now I don't wait until the holidays come 'round
to send that greeting card
And you said be careful how much you think
Just say what you need
Don't analyse every little thing
Hold on to simplicity
Hold on to what you believe
Cause of you I am
Opening my heart a little wider
Cause of you I am
Hoping I might be a little kinder
Cause of you I am
Diggin' deep and giving everything I got
Cause of you
I am
On a peaceful stream
Or the night's first dream
On a storm at sea
I know you'll be with me
In a winter's snow
In each thing that grows
In my heart I know
Wherever I go you're with me

California Dreaming
03:33

All the leaves are brown
(All the leaves are brown)
And the sky is gray.
(And the sky is gray).
I've been for a walk
(I've been for a walk)
On a winter's day.
(On a winter's day).

Show Some Emotion
03:50
|
|||
|
Show some emotion
Put expression in your eyes
Light up if you're feeling happy
But if it's bad then let those tears roll down
Some people hurting
Someone choking up inside, some poor souls dying
Too proud to say, they got no place to lie
And there's people if they hear a joke
Can't keep the laugh out of their eye
I said, "Show some emotion
Put expression in your eyes
Light up if you're feeling happy
But if it's bad then let those tears roll down"
Some people in love
But all they got's a photography
How can they get it too scared
To open their mouth and ask
I said, "Show some emotion
Put expression in your eyes
Light up if you're feeling happy
But if it's bad then let those tears roll down"
Come on try learn to bleed
When you get a bad fall
Light up, light up, light up if it's nice
But if it's bad then let those tears roll down
I said, "Show some emotion
Put expression in your eyes
Light up if you're feeling happy
But if it's bad then let those tears roll down"
Come on try, come on try, come on try
Light up, light up, light up if it's nice
But if it's bad then let those tears roll down
And it's bad then let those tears roll down

Leaving on a Jet Plane
04:59
|
|||
|
All my bags are packed,
I'm ready to go,
I'm standing here,
Outside your door,
I hate to wake you up to say Good Bye.
But the dawn is breaking', It's early morn`,
The taxi's waiting, he's blowin' his horn.
Already I'm so lonesome I could die.
So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me, like you never let me go.
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Till then ill see you in my dreams,
There's So many times, I let you down,
So many times, I played around,
but I tell you now, they don't mean a thing.
Every place I go, I'll think of you,
Every song I sing, I sing for you.
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring.
Refrain
Now the time has come to leave you,
One more time, let me kiss you,
Close your eyes and I'll be on my way.
Dream about the days to come,
When I won't have to leave alone,
About the times, when I won't have to say,
Refrain

Get it Together
05:03
|
|||
|
Now's the time for stepping out of place
Get up on your feet and give account of your faith
Pray to God or something or whatever you do
What I see can make me stop and stare
But who am I to judge the color of your hair
Surely all you're feeling much the same as I do
We got to keep this world together, got to keep it moving straight
Love like we mean forever, so that people can relate
If you're rolling to your left, don't forget I'm on the right
Trust and forgive each other
A little love and we just might
Yeah, yeah
(We gotta do something, we gotta do something, we gotta do something)
Yeah, Thinking of the troubles of today is it easier to put that gun away
Or is it difficult to stop the world to show that you care
Everything and everyone we know is beautiful
Surely you will be the guide in light to save us all
Maybe we can be the vision of a perfect man's dream
Cause we got to keep this world together, got to keep it moving straight
Love like we mean forever, so that people can relate
If you're rolling to your left, don't forget I'm on the right
Trust and forgive each other
A little love and we just might, just might,
(I have something, do you have something 'cause I got something for you)
(I have something, do you have something 'cause I got something for you)
(I have something, do you have something 'cause I got something for you)
(I have something for you)
We got to keep this world together, got to keep it moving straight
Love like we mean forever, so that people can relate
If you're rolling to your left (to the left), don't forget I'm on the right (on the right)
Trust and forgive each other
A little love and we just might (we just might)
We got to keep this world together, got to keep it moving straight
Love like we need each other, so that people can relate
If you're rolling to your left, don't forget I'm on the right
Trust and forgive each other
A little love and we just might, just might,
Everyone we know is beautiful, every one know is beautiful

Amazing Grace
04:13
|

|
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I'm found,
Was blind, but now I see.
't Was Grace that taught my heart to fear,
And Grace my fear relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear,
The hour I first believed.
When we've been there ten thousands years,
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun.
