Little Bird
I was still learning to fly
Your song I heard
I saw you set off for the sky
My hummingbird
Floating, fluttering
You flew into my world
Standing still like a dream
But what I really mean is...
Chelsey Lyn, where do I begin
To make you see
You opened up the sky for me
Chelsey Lyn where do I begin
To make you see
You set my heart and soul at ease
So I will spend
All of my days
Attempting to ascend
Wherever your wings raise
And if I should jump the nest
To give these new wings a test
Assuming you've acquiesced
Cause what I mean to say is
Chelsey Lyn where do I begin
To make you see
You're the reason that I breathe
Chelsey Lyn where do I begin
To make you see
You've opened up this sky for me

Bella Regazza
03:05

Girl you got me thinking when the lights are dim
How the candlelight bounces off your blushing skin
Catches my eyes
Hope you’re wearing knee-highs tonight
Girl you got me feeling like a pilot light
All I’ll need is a spark and I’ll be set to ignite
I wanna blow your mind
or something right along those lines
Bella Regazza doncha know that I want ya
Bella Regazza I wanna get you higher than high, tonight
Bella Regazza doncha know that I want ya
Eri un bellissimo spreco di tempo of mine, tonight
You got me tangled in a tango with wine flavored tongues
Taking my time because the night is still young
You know I aim to please you
Promise not to tease you too much
Tracing constellations of your freckles with my fingers
Making you moan like an acid jazz singer
There's no need to rush
I'm only trying to make you blush
Bella Regazza doncha know that I want ya
Bella Regazza I wanna get you higher than high, tonight
Bella Regazza doncha know that I want ya
Eri un bellissimo spreco di tempo of mine, tonight
All mine, tonight
All mine, tonight

Tiny Box
05:04
|

Picked up a tiny box from the postman
Examined the contents inside
A flood gathered in-between my eyelids
And with every tear that I cried
One tiny box that I hold in my hands
The hopes and the dreams of a fortunate man
Of all that will come and of all that shall pass
Say yes is all that I ask
Felt the weight of a promise encircled
Felt a wish that my mom was still here
Imagined the moment that I ask you
Felt the future come into view so clear
One tiny box that I hold in my hands
The hopes and the dreams of a fortunate man
Of all that will come and of all that shall pass
Say yes is all that I ask
Understated, pretty and classy
Just like the woman it's intent is for
Strong yet delicate if you ask me
Two hearts beating time forever more
One tiny box that I hold in my hands
The hopes and the dreams of a fortunate man
Of all that will come & of all that shall pass
Say yes is all that I ask
One tiny box that I hold in my hands
The hopes and the dreams of a fortunate man
Of all that will come and of all that shall pass
Say yes is all that I ask
Say yes is all that I ask
Say yes, say yes, say yes

Indigo

Indigo, wonder if you'll ever know
How you changed my world forever
Yeah you made it so much better
Indigo, even if I had to go
You've got all my love inside you
Hope you feel it more than I do, Indigo
I'm sure it's all gunna change
From now on, but it’ll be ok
‘Cause someone is gunna open the cage
And let your soul sing out
That it's a brand new day
And someday you will see
That all this had to be
And if you hear me sing oh
Indigo, wonder if you'll ever know
How you changed my world forever
And you made it so much better
Indigo, even if I had to go
You've got all my love inside you
Hope you feel it more than I do, Indigo
Sometimes if you feel lost at sea
I know that help will come
Just like you came to me
(If you’re feeling lost and lonely)
‘Cause time will give you all that you need
(Remember that you’re not the only)
Just get on my shoulders child
(Dreamer who feels all you need is love)
‘Cause you'll see farther than me
And just like the butterfly
You're gunna spread your wings and learn to fly
And find that there's no need to cry ‘cause
Indigo, wonder if you'll ever know
How you changed my world forever
And you made it so much better
Indigo, even if I had to go
You've got all my world inside you
Hope you feel it more than I do, Indigo

Dare You Now
02:37
|
|||
When all my silver linings
Seem to gather in my hair
When a murder of crows feet
Walk across the mirror
When quietness and stillness
Takes the place of our soirée
Will I take on the garden
And you the knit crochet?
Will you be there for me
When there's no songs left to sing?
I dare you now, to grow old with me
When life becomes vicarious
And adventures are all through
Will I still be the man
Who gives his hand and heart to you?
When time comes to claim back
All the wisdom I have gained
Will you be there beside me
Proudly wearing my last name?
Will you be there for me
When there's no songs left to sing?
I dare you now, to grow old with me
Will you be there for me
When there's no songs left to sing?
I dare you now, to grow old with me

Flowers by the Score
03:56
|
|||
I thought I built these walls much higher than this
You go and break them down each time we kiss and
I’ll bring you tulips by the score
If that would make you love me more
I don’t know why I feel so scared
My hearts a hummingbird each time you’re there and
I’ll bring you roses by the score
If that would make you love me more
I’ll bring you flowers by the score
If that would make you love me more
I’ll bring you flowers by the score
I don’t know what it is you do
To always make me fall in love with you and
I’ll bring you orchids by the score
If that would make you love me more
I’ll bring you flowers by the score
If that would make you love me more
I’ll bring you flowers by the score
I’ll bring you flowers by the score
I’ll bring you flowers by the score
I’ll bring you flowers by the score
I’ll bring you flowers by the score

There's a girl on the refrigerator
in a clipping from a magazine
She's singing sold out shows
from New York to New Orleans
Well I guess that you could say that she's living the dream
But she's the girl from the refrigerator to me
She's got her mama's looks and her daddy's harmony
Once or twice I even caught her singing along with me
I took one look and asked, do you know what I see?
Well it’s the girl from the refrigerator to me
And don't she play her part so well?
In a cast of thousands well she somehow found herself
Acting out on stage for all the world to see
And she's the girl from the refrigerator to me
Loading up my gear as they pull my name from the marquee
I'm heading home I haven't seen my Mom for weeks
My sister opens up the door but do you know what I see?
Well it's the girl from the refrigerator to me
She tells me about how sometimes she questions everything
Who she is and who she was and who she's meant to be
Don't you think it's funny how she's just like you and me
But she's the girl from the refrigerator to me
And won't she play her part so well?
In a cast of millions she will somehow find herself
To become everything that she was meant to be
‘Cause she's the girl from the refrigerator to me
Yeah she's the girl from the refrigerator to me
She's the girl from the refrigerator to me

Clementine
03:24
|

I swear I've seen a glimpse of you in your Mother's eyes
Shining like a super moon on the Fourth of July
Patiently you wait for me to get it right
Honey I've been waiting too for nearly all my life
Someday you'll make your way into your Mother's arms
For now I see you hanging from my wishing stars
How I've wondered where and what and who you are
When you'll come along and how you'll steal my heart
But maybe someday you'll be mine
Oh my sweet darling Clementine
My finger waits for you to wrap yourself around
To do my best to always keep you safe and sound
To pick you up and dust you off should you fall down
Clementine I'll meet you in my dreams for now
But maybe someday you'll be mine
Oh my sweet darling Clementine
Maybe someday you'll be mine
Oh my sweet darling Clementine

When I'm 64
02:43
|

Written by Lennon–McCartney
When I get older losing my hair
Many years from now
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings, bottle of wine?
If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?
You'll be older too
And if you say the word
I could stay with you
I could be handy, mending a fuse
When your lights have gone
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride
Doing the garden, digging the weeds
Who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?
Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight
If it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera, Chuck & Dave
Send me a postcard, drop me a line
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?

Mother May I?

Mother was it hard to raise me?
Mother did I make it easy?
Mother did I make you proud of me?
Mother did I make you happy?
Mother am I just like Daddy?
Mother did I make you proud of me?
Mother did I make you worry?
Mother I am in no hurry
Mother did I make you proud of me?
I never meant make you sorry
I do these things because you love me
Mother did I make you proud of me?
Mother may I love you dearly?
You’re always in my heart sincerely
Mother did I make you proud of me?
Mother will you always love me?
Mother can you hear me singing?
Mother does it make you proud of me?
Mother does it make you proud of me?

I took a walk into the woods
Just me & God & with every step I took
I thought about you all the while
& I can still see your sweet smile
I blew the leaves off of the driveway
I heard that you were coming soon
Sat myself down to read the papers
‘Cause I've prepared this place for you
I thought my heart was full long before you arrived
No heavens treasure that beats having you by my side
the missing piece that fits the hole that I never knew
I have prepared this place for you
Three swans go flying past my window
They trumpet out the sweetest song
a melody that I may remember
So happy you have come along
So come and sing let me call you Sweetheart
Gather round the children neath our feet
We can dance like everyone is watching
Have this dance for all eternity
I thought my heart was full long before you arrived
No heavens treasure that beats having you by my side
the missing piece that fits the hole that I never knew
I have prepared this place for you
I thought my heart was full long before you arrived
No heavens treasure that beats having you by my side
the missing piece that fits the hole that I never knew
I have prepared this place for you
I still do, it’s true
I have prepared this place for you

All My Muchness
05:55
|
|||
Rose & violet sky on New Year’s Day
Before the birds had anything to say
There’s a few sets of eyelashes still closed at dawn
That I begin to count my blessings on
Tangerine, Cerulean, & White
A pair of turtle doves they take to flight
Reflections on our brightest year so far
So good to know you’re right here where you are
Honey, Clementine, & Indigo
A single bright boy, a shimmering glimmer of hope
As hazel eyes begin to catch it’s rays
All my muchness to you for all of my days
All my muchness to you for all of my days
Lavender & Gold & Baby blue
Lift up your tired eyes the world is waiting for you
And as sure as the sun has begun to have caught it’s flame
Silver lines the clouds as you speak my name
Silver lines the clouds as you speak my name
Silver lines the clouds as you speak my name

Sunchild
03:19
|

You sailed down from your blue balloon
& stole a sliver from the moon
You sly devil the angels swooned for you
Beside myself by the riverbank
We were sitting on a cornflake
Your Mother & the waters began to break
Like a Blackbird in the dead of night
I’ve awaited you for my whole life
You’re my son & I know you’re gunna shine
Sunchild, you’re gunna grow wild
So won’t you let us see you smile?
Sunchild, so tender & mild
Oh won’t you let us see you smile?
Amethyst & Clary Sage
Same story, different page
Your bell sounding out a brand new day
Like a Blackbird in the dead of night
I’ve awaited you for my whole life
You’re my son & I know you’re gunna shine
Sunchild, you’re gunna grow wild
So won’t you let us see you smile?
Sunchild, tender & mild
Oh won’t you let us see you smile?
Sunchild, you’re gunna grow wild
So won’t you let us see you smile?
Sunchild, so tender & mild
Oh won’t you let us see you smile?

What a Wonderful World
04:04
|
|||
written by George Weiss / Robert Thiele
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
