LUTHER VANDROSS

"Always And Forever"

Always and forever
Each moment with you
Is just like a dream to me
That somehow came true, yeah

And I know tomorrow
Will still be the same
Cuz we got a life of love
That won't ever change and

Everyday love me your own special way
Melt all my heart away with a smile
Take time to tell me you really care
And we'll share tomorrow together
Ooh baby, I'll always love you forever

Ever, ever, ever
There'll always be sunshine
When I look at you
It's something I can't explain
Just the things that you do
If you get lonely
Call me and take
A second to give to me
That magic you make and

Everyday love me your own special way
Melt all my heart away with a smile
Take time to tell me you really care
And we'll share tomorrow together
Ooh baby, I'll always love you forever

LUTHER VANDROSS

"Keeping My Faith In You"

I just love how long we've known each other
And I know you care about me
But I can't tell just where your life is going
You've been quite a mystery
You've got all of these brand new friends
They keep taking your confidence

But I'm keeping my faith in you
Deep in my heart of hearts
You've been worried, puzzled, surrounded by your trouble
But I'm keeping my faith in you

We all cried when your first bow was taken
No one could be prouder of you
But I care more about your heart if it's aching
If I'm your friend, what else can I do?
But those people who hang around
They keep bringing your spirit down

But I'm keeping my faith in you, yeah
Deep in my heart of hearts
If anyone can do it
I know you'll get through it
So I'm keeping my faith in you

I've known you ever since way back when
And I know you, you don't want to change, my friend
But you're under pressure, like no one could imagine
It's not a good time that you've been having
But you're a real strong brother, and I know you'll recover
So I'm keeping my faith in you

Keeping my faith in you
Deep in my heart of hearts
If anyone can do it
I know you'll get through it
So I'm keeping my faith in you

Keeping my faith in you
Deep in my heart of hearts
Keeping my faith in you
Deep in my heart of hearts

You've been worried, puzzled
Surrounded by big trouble
But I'm keeping my faith in you

Keeping my faith in you
My faith in you
Keeping my faith in you
My faith in you
Keeping my faith in you
My faith in you

Antifreeze - "Is He Your Boyfriend?"

You were in the second row, I saw you at one of our shows
You were different from every other girl
Maybe it was the way that you smiled when I sang or announced a song title
Thoughts were spinning in my head; you & me, deep wishes, and denial

And I don't know why, the way you looked at me
I thought you were thinking the same as me
And when our set was done, I went to find my true love
But you were with the singer of the other band.

I saw you hold his hand, yes that guy from the other band
Right then I knew he was your boyfriend
I'll never understand, and if I did I wouldn't comprehend
Why you gave me that look when I was up there with my own band

And I don't know why, why you turned away
I thought you were thinking the same as me
And when I looked for you I found you in his Subaru
You were with the the singer... of the other band.

I saw you... hold his hand
Yes that guy, yeah that guy from the other band

I saw you... kiss his cheek
Yes that guy, yeah that guy, is he your boyfriend?

I saw you... I saw you...
With that guy, yeah that guy, please tell me, I'll understand...

[Clear Skies]

Blondie - Dreaming

When I met you in the restaurant
You could tell I was no debutante
You asked me what's my pleasure;
"A movie or a measure"?
I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming

Dreaming is free
Dreaming, dreaming is free

I don't want to live on charity
Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?
Real to real is living rarity
People stop and stare at me
We just walk on by
We just keep on dreaming

Feet, feet, walking a two mile
Meet, meet, meet me at the turnstile
I never met him I'll never forget him
Dream, dream, even for a little while
Dream, dream, filling up an idle hour
Fade away, radiate

I sit by and watch the river flow
I sit by and watch the traffic go
Imagine something of your very own;
something you can have and hold
I'd build a road in gold
Just to have some dreaming

Dreaming is free
Dreaming, dreaming is free

Pleasant Valley Sunday
The Monkees

Your local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn this song
To serenade the weekend squire
Just came out to mow his lawn

Another pleasant valley Sunday
Charcoal burnin everywhere
Rows of houses that are all the same
And no one seems to care

See Mrs. Gray she's proud today
Because her roses are in bloom
And Mr. Green he's so serene
He's got a TV in every room

Another pleasant valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Mothers complain
About how hard life is
And the kids just don't understand

Creature comfort goals
They only numb my soul
And make it hard for me to see
My thoughts all seem to stray
To places far away
I need a change of scenery

(Ta ta ta ta....)

Another pleasant valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Another pleasant valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Another pleasant valley Sunday (repeat)

Time Marches On
Tracy Lawrence


Sister cries out from her baby bed
Brother runs in feathers on his head
Momma's in her room learning how to sew
Daddy's drinking beer, listening to the radio
Hank Williams sings "Kaw Liga" and "Dear John"
And time marches on, time marches on
Sister's using rouge and clear complexion soap
Brother's wearing beads and he smokes alot of dope
Momma is depressed, barely makes a sound
Daddy's got a girlfriend in another town
Bob Dylan sings "Like a Rolling Stone"
And time marches on, time marches on

Bridge
The south moves north, the north moves south
A star is born, a star burns out
The only thing that stays the same is
Everything changes, everything changes
Sister calls herself "Sexy Grandma"
Brother's on a diet for high cholesterol
Momma's out of touch with reality
Daddy's in the ground beneath the maple tree
As the angels sind an old Hank Williams song

Time marches on, Time marches on
Time marches on, Time marches on
Time marches on, Time marches on

[Clear Skies]

The Beatles - Let It Be

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comforts me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be


The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby

Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice
in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face
that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie, writing the words
of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks
in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby, died in the church
and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt
from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

10's by Pantera

My skin is cold, transfusion with somebody, morose and
old, drop into fruitless dying
It was tempting and bared, the whoring angel rising
Now burning prayers, my silent time of losing

My foes, they can't destroy my body
Colliding slow, like life itself

Long for the blur, we cannot dry much longer
Cement to dirt, disgusted with my cheapness

My foes, they can't destroy my body
Colliding slow, like life itself

My foes, they can't destroy my body
Colliding slow, like life itself

Reaching down, staring up (at the forgiver)

My foes, they can't destroy my body
Colliding slow, like life itself

My foes, they can't destroy my body
Colliding slow, like life itself

No You Don't by NIN

smiling in their faces
while filling up the hole
so many dirty little places
in your filthy little worn out broken down see through soul

baby's got a problem
tries so hard to hide
got to keep it on the surface
because everything else is dead on the other side

teeth in the necks of everyone you know
you can keep on sucking 'til the blood won't flow
when it starts to hurt it only helps it grow
taking all you need
(but not this time)
no, you don't

and just for the record
just so you know
i did not believe
that you could sink so low

you think that you can beat them
i know that you won't
you think you have everything
but no, you don't

no, you don't
no, you don't
no, you don't
no, you don't
no, you don't
no, you don't
no, you don't
no, you don't

Two For Tuesday; Bryan Adams

Glad to see you back, D.M.



Summer of '69


I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it till my fingers bled
It was the summer of '69
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far
Oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no
And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69

Straight From The Heart


I could start dreamin' but it'd never end
As long as you're gone we may as well pretend
I've been dreamin'
Straight from the heart
You said it's easy but who's to say
That we'd be able to keep it this way
But it's easier
Comin' straight from the heart
Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we can make another start
You know I'll never go - as long as I know
It's comin' straight from the heart
I'll see you on the street some other time
And all our words would just fall outta line
While we're dreamin'
Straight from the heart
Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we can make one more start
You know I'll never go - as long as I know
It's comin' straight from the heart

[Clear Skies]

One of the most beautiful and uplifting songs I've ever heard:

Iona - Lindisfarne

Slow-rising mists enfolding the land
Seawater shifts on a bed of sand
A forest of kelp dances
Beneath its motion
The water moves
With the tides of the ocean

And here we are
We have come this far
To say a prayer
On Lindisfarne

Here in the rock
Bathed in a gentle glow
The golden half-light
Of the setting sun
A shadow of wings
Flying fast and low
Out of my sight
Into the distance gone

And here we are
We have come this far
To say a prayer
On Lindisfarne

[SlowwHand]

Hey Big Brother
Rare Earth


(Chorus)
Hey big brother,
as soon as you arrive,
you better get in touch with the people, big brother,
and get them on your side, big brother,
and keep them satisfied.

Welcome to the beat of the city street,
walk on now and don't be shy.
Take a closer look at the people you meet,
and notice the fear in their eyes,
watching the time passing by.

(Chorus)

Focus your eye on the filthy sky,
just as far as you can see.
Everybody's gettin' kind of tired of waitin'
cos' nobody wants to cry,
and nobody wants to die.

(Chorus)

Now that you got the picture,
what you gonna do?
Now that you got the picture,
what you gonna do?

[Mr. President]

How could we have a song lyrics thread without what was recently voted the best song ever? (Which featured, of course, in the best movie ever made.)

Judy Garland - Somewhere Over The Rainbow (from The Wizard of Oz)

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

[SlowwHand]

I'm Alright
Kenny Loggins

I'm alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can't you just let it be?

I'm alright
Don't nobody worry 'bout me

Do what you like,

But if it's too easy

And isn't it a mystery
If it's nobody's bus'ness
It's everybody's game

Gotta catch you later
No, no, cannonball it right away

Pay attention to the magistrate
And while I got you in the mood
Listen to your

Own heart beatin'
Own heart beatin'
Own heart beatin'

Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can't you just let it be?

I'm alright
I'm alright
Just let me be

Whenever I Call You "Friend"
Kenny Loggins (and Stevie Nicks)

Whenever I call you "Friend", I begin to think I understand
Anywhere we are, you and I have always been, ever and ever
I see myself within your eyes, and that's all I need to show me why
Everything I do always takes me home to you, ever and ever
'N now I know my life has given me more than memories, day by day, we can see
In every moment there's a reason to carry on
Chorus:
Sweet love's showin' us a heavenly light, never seen such a beautiful sight
See love glowin' on us every night, I know forever we'll be doin' it
chorus... right
Whenever I call you "Friend", I believe I've come to understand
Everywhere we are, you and I were meant to be, forever and ever
I think about the times to come, knowin' I will be the lucky one
And ever our love will last, I always want to call you "Friend"
chorus
(Instrumental break)
An' now I know my life has given me more than memories, day by day
We can see, in every moment there's a reason to carry on
chorus repeats 2x - doin' it, doin' it
Sweet love (repeats out)...
(You're the glowin' light in my life, source of pride in my life)
(Everything I do takes me back to you, whenever I call you friend...

MY MUSIC
Loggins & Messina

Do do do ...

Hey little girl won't you meet me at the schoolyard gate
I got back stage passes to the biggest show in town
So honey don't you make me late
If we leave really early and we hurry we can get in with the band
'Cause little Tim Smitty's got his old man's van
So let's get to gettin' while the gettin' is right
And roll with the rythm tonight

God knows that I love my music
Ain't no one gonna change my tune
Don't ya know that I love my music
Ain't never gonna change my tune

Hey little girl want to dance with you all night long
The music got me buzzin' and I feel pretty loose
I feel the rythm and it's comin' on strong baby baby
Lay the rythm on me baby, there's power in the sound
With everybody jumpin' we can bring the house down
So lets get to gettin' while the gettin' is right
And roll with the rythm tonight

God knows that I love my music
Ain't no one gonna change my tune
Don't ya know that I love my music
Ain't never gonna change my tune

(solo)

God knows that I love my music
Ain't no one gonna change my tune
Don't ya know that I love my music
Ain't never gonna change my

Do do do ...

Love my music
Ain't no one gonna change my tune
Don't ya know that I love my music
Ain't never gonna change my tune

[Clear Skies]

Just d/led this - I know I shouldn't, but I really wanted to know what the second album would be like - and believe me, this song is great.


Dido - Afraid To Sleep

We slept in this room together, but now you're gone
It's so quiet I'll turn the TV on
We lived in this room together, we painted the walls
Now time doesn't stand still, it crawls

And I'm afraid to sleep 'cos if I do I'll dream of you
And dreams are always deep on the pillow where I'll weep.

I never realized how much I was in love with you
Till you started sleeping with someone new
Last night I dreamed again and you were there
You kissed my face, you touched my hair

And I'm afraid to sleep 'cos if I do I'll dream of you
And dreams are always deep on the pillow where I'll weep.

Lyin' alone in the darkness with a memory in my head,
There's a big hole where my heart is
And a lonely feeling rolling 'round my bed

And I'm afraid to sleep 'cos if I do I'll dream of you
I'm afraid to sleep 'cos if I do I'll dream of you
And dreams are always deep on the pillow where I'll weep.
On the pillow where I'll weep.

I'm afraid to sleep.
