Can't ya see what you're doin to me?
My heart is racing my face is red
Can't ya see what your doin to me?
I'm feeling dizzy gonna fall down dead..
The sight of you is intoxicating
I'm drunk just seeing your face
Yes I'm high just appreciating
the way you walked in this place
Do you believe in love at first sight?
I never did til this very night
Your rugged looks and that luscious smile
Come on baby lets dance awhile
Can' ya see what you're doing to me?
You make me jump right to my feet
You're sending me some good vibrations
Awww sweet temptation
The sight of you is intoxicating
I'm drunk just seeing your face
Yes, I'm high just appreciating
the way you walked in this place
Do you believe in love at first sight?
I never did til this very night
Your rugged looks and that dangerous smile
Come on baby lets dance awhile

Carry Me
03:40
|

|
Blue skies, birds in flight
Clouds are floatin' free
Water skipping over stones
And it's flowing to the sea
River take me in your arms and
Carry me
River take me in your arms and
Carry Me
My soul cries, cut these worldly ties
Throw down your bags and flee
Wash away the doubt that clouds my mind
And set me free
Run through the forest deep
the meadow where the whitetail sleep
Saturate my heart with peace and carry me
Carry Me, Carry Me
Sunshine in my eyes
Sands upon my feet
The tide is dancing on the shore
It’s come to welcome me
River take me in your arms and
Carry me
River take me in your arms and
Carry Me
Won't you carry me…echo carry me

The Garden Path
04:04
|
|||
|
Soft scent of jasmine
The chatter of the birds
Footsteps on the stones
Mindfully mindful
Deep breath of morning
Whispers to the sun
Stories of visitors
Silently dancing
Time will wait for no one
She numbers all of our days
The Garden Path will lead you, carefully
The sun's kiss for pardon
The bird's song for mirth
Days in the garden are the best spent on earth
Grateful are the lilies
gathering the dew
That sparkles and shimmers
The orbs of reflection
The laughter of the daisies
The blushing of the rose
Sweet green maiden hair
The palette of creation
Time will wait for no one
She numbers all of our days
The Garden Path will lead you, carefully
The sun's kiss for pardon
The bird's song for mirth
Days in the garden are the best spent on earth
Make haste but slowly
the moments will fly
Life passes as a shadow
beneath the changing sky
Delight in creation
Stay close to the earth
Given as a blessing from the moment of your birth

Joy in the Morning
03:24
|

|
Well give me joy in the morning
Give me peace in the afternoon
And give me lovin' in the still of the night
We work all day, sleep all night
Everything's gonna be alright
If you lay down next to me in the morning light
Come on down to see me baby
I'll let you sleep 'til noon
Pancakes for breakfast
Whiskey in the afternoon
Don't want to eat my meals sitting all alone
Come on baby, bring it on home
And give me joy in the mornin'
give me peace in the afternoon
And give me lovin' in the still of the night
We work all day, sleep all night
Everything's gonna be alright
If you lay down next to me in the morning light
Pass the syrup honey
Sweeten up my stack
Blueberries too, from the garden out back
It's such a simple thing
Spending time with the one you love
For you baby, I thank the Lord above
For giving me joy in the mornin'
and peace in the afternoon
And giving me lovin' in the still of the night
We work all day, sleep all night
Everything's gonna be alright
If you lay down next to me in the morning light

Sycamore

Sycamore
Sycamore stands beside the stream
Where I go to sit and dream
Branches reaching tall and wide
Prettiest tree in the countryside
Sycamore sycamore sycamore
Watched you grow since I was young
From your branches I have swung
Jumped into your leaves piled high
Laughed so hard it made me cry
Sycamore sycamore
Roots in the earth crown so high
Wind through your leaves sings a lullaby
Nestled at your feet am I
Your silhouette against the sky
Sycamore
Beneath your lovely shade oh tree
Is where my love and I will be
Lovesick til the end of time
Hearts and hands and love am I
Sycamore sycamore
Sycamore stands beside the stream
Where I go to sit and dream…..

Awakening
03:53
|

|
Tumbleweed… tumbling tumbling
Falling down deep in your eyes
Wander, wandering wandering
Wake me …early to rise
Daffodils casting hillsides Yellow
Ladybug spots abound
The Prophet speaks, He moans and bellows
Deaf man hears the sound
Fantasy’s awakening
Will I see you from time to time
Sinking in a glass of wine
Let’s fly away, gliding and soaring
Floating up under the clouds
Tranquil, quiet silence
No hatred, no shouting outloud
Climb aboard feel the feathers gentle
Rising and lifting high
Eagle waxes sentimental
No one hears her cry
A visionary’s reverie
Who’s that staring through the glass
Too astonished to ask
Going home traveling traveling
A place…..that I’ve never known
Open…. Opening, opening
Dissonant diminished tones
Peer into the looking glass
Visions of your dreams
Questioning reflections
They’re never what they seem
Paradise awaiting
Come with me in my dreams tonight
Leave this world of black and white

(Am) I’ve been searching (E7) east and west
(Am) To find the one that (Dm7) suits me best
(Am) A man sent to (E7) me from up (Am) above
(Dm7) Gentle and (E7) funny
(Dm7) With a soul as sweet as (E7) honey
(C7) Is that too much to ask?
(E7) Is that too much to ask?
Chorus
Oh, if (CM7) I could find a (Am7) man that would
(Dm7) treat me sweet and (G7) kind
I’d (CM7) think I was in (Am7) heaven
I’d (Dm7) never change my (G7) mind
Cause a (C) good man is hard to (C7) find
But (F) I won’t settle for (Fm) less
(C) Cause here sits a mighty fine (Am7) woman
And (Dm7) I (G7) deserve the (C) best
(Am) Guess I want a (E7) man
I can (Am) trust and (Dm7) understand
(Am) To stand here by my (E7) side
In stormy (Am) weather
(Dm7) We’d stay up for (E7) hours
(Dm7) Maybe he’d bring me (E7) flowers
(C7) Is that too much to ask?
(E7) Is that too much to ask?
Chorus
Oh, if (CM7) I could find a (Am7) man that would
(Dm7) treat me sweet and (G7) kind
I’d think I’d (CM7) died and gone to (Am7) heaven
I (Dm7) won’t believe my (G7) eyes
Cause a (C) good man is hard to (C7) find
But (F) I won’t settle for (Fm) less

And (Dm7) I (G7) deserve the (C) best
(F7) La da da dada da dada da (C7) da da dot da
(F7) La da da dada da dada da (G7) da dot da
And (CM7) when I find that (Am7) man
(Dm7) Wherever he may (G7) be
I (CM7) gladly give up (Am7) searching
and be (Dm7) happy as can (G7) be
Cause (C) love is such a simple (C7) thing
What you (F) give is what you (Fm) get
And I’m (C) lovin’ you (Am7) already
(Dm7) Although we (G7) haven’t (C) met….yet
Yes, (C) love is such a simple (C7) thing,
what you (F) give is what you (Fm) get
(Slight ritard)
And (C) here sits a mighty fine (Am7) woman
And (Dm7) I (G7) deserve the (C) best
( Big Ritard!)
Yes, (C) here sits a mighty fine (A7) woman and (Dm7) I…(G7) I deserve the (CM7) best (Am7)

Come Sing to Me
03:39

Come sing to me love
I long to be near you
My heart wants to hear your voice
So soft in my ear
Come sing to me love
the days go by so slow
I want you to know love waits for you
Time stands still you watch the show
Rain will fall and wind will blow
Eyes grow wide and fill with tears
They dry with time
So sing your song bye and bye
When dreams had wings and they would fly
Up to the sun they lift and rise
They know the way, they know the way
Come sing to me love
I long to be near you
My heart wants to hear your voice
So soft in my ear
Come sing to me love
the days go by so slow
and I want you to know love waits for you
As Time moves on we learn and grow
To live and love the best we know
We will seek and then we find
The way back home
Wake and greet the new day sun
A cup of joe and off we run
To ride the tide of this new wave
Life is good, life is good
Come sing to me love
I long to be near you
My heart wants to hear your voice
So soft in my ear
My heart wants to hear your voice
So soft in my ear….So soft in my ear

Song for the Trees
03:30
|
|||
|
I’d walk for miles
To spend some time among the trees
In the forest deep
The aspens quaking in the breeze
From the forest floor
To the crown of the redwood grove
I’ll lift my voice
And the wise ones listen
I sing to the trees
Pouring out my soul
Safe in the shelter
I can feel the music flow
My voice is rising
And floating in the air
More than a song
It is my heartfelt prayer
I place myself
In the presence of the woods
Knowing they can teach me
What no professor ever could
Lessons in strength
A life practice of )peace
And the gift of silence
Is what they bring to me

Whiskey in the Rain
03:23
|
|||
|
I’m drinking whiskey in the rain
Feeling no pain
But you’re not here be side me
I know I’m a fool for losing your love
Baby, will you ever forgive me
I never meant to run around
All over town
With that fiddle playing fool from Dixie
He played a tune
That sent me f# to the moon
And I’ve never felt so frisky
There’s really no explanation
except that music swept me away
He made me shiver from my head down to my toes.
Next thing I knew, Well I couldn’t find my clothes
Ya know I’ve got a weakness, darlin
When I hear that fiddle play
It lifts me up and carries me away
But now I’m drinkin' whiskey in the rain
Thinking about you babe
Cuz you’re the one that’s always been there
Through the good times and the bad
I know in my heart you’re the best friend I’ve ever had
So here I sit drinking whiskey in the rain
Thinking about you babe
So here I sit drinking whiskey in the rain
Thinking about you Babe
I’m missing you darlin’
thinking about you babe

Rollercoaster
03:20

My life has been a rollercoaster ride
If I wasn’t always laughing I would cry
The finest moments of them all
were right before a fall
Still I climb back up that hill to touch the sky
G force pulls me down again
My cheeks are stretchin’ pretty thin
I’m screaming and I’m scared that I’m gonna die
then I’m flying high without wings
And It makes my spirit sing
My tummy tickles, I’ve got the giggles
Now I’ve reached the top and I’m in a pickle
Falling faster than a stone
This must be the Danger Zone
I’m holding your hand tight but I feel so alone
Daddy says today is just one day
This too shall pass away
Ups and downs
Smiles and frowns
There’s a ripple in the water and you think you’re gonna drown
My life has been a rollercoaster ride
If I wasn’t always laughing, I would cry
So look on the bright side of life
Hey it’s great to be alive
Yes life is just a rollercoaster ride.

Moonlight on the Water
03:46
|
|||
|
There's a trail to the horizon made of moonlight
It leads to where the ocean meets the sky
Here I stand awestruck i the shadows
Staring at the heavens through the night
Moonlight lay your hands upon the water
Touch your magic fingers to the sea
Moonlight lay your hands upon the water
Touch me with your "Wild Serenity"
The painter's brush upon the empty canvas
Blending shades of silver, blue and gray
Light and darkness play upon the skyline
The artist brushes magic on the bay
Moonlight lay your hands upon the water
Touch your magic fingers to the sea
Moonlight lay your hands upon the water
Touch me with your "Wild Serenity"
Waxing, waning, ever changing
Push and pull the tide
Pour down your silver all around me
Nymphs and fairies were gathered there to dance
As you slowly slip into the sea
Moonlight...moonlight...moonlight...lovely moonlight
