I'm on my way, I'm making it I've got to make it show, yeah so much larger than life I'm going to watch it growing
the place where I come from is a small town they think so small they use small words -but not me I'm smarter than that I worked it out I've been stretching my mouth to let those big words come right out

every step you take . . .
Every breath you take Every move you make Every bond you break Every step you take I’ll be watching you
Every single day Every word you say Every game you play Every night you stay I’ll be watching you
Oh, can’t you see You belong to me How my poor heart aches With every step you take

See the pyramids along the Nile Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle Just remember darlin' all the while You belong to me.
See the market place in Old Algiers Send me photographs and souvenirs Just remember when a dream appears You belong to me.
I'll be so alone without you Maybe you'll be lonesome too, and blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane See the jungle when it's wet with rain Just remember 'til you're home again You belong to me.

I heard he sang .. I heard he had a style ... I heard the bells
I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace on earth, good will to men.
And thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along the unbroken song Of peace on earth, good will to men.
Till ringing, singing on its way The world revolved from night to day, A voice, a chime, a chant sublime Of peace on earth, good will to men.
And in despair I bowed my head “There is no peace on earth,” I said, “For hate is strong and mocks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men.”
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: “God is not dead, nor doth He sleep; The wrong shall fail, the right prevail With peace on earth, good will to men.”

Nice pun here.
We like a long neck ... why can’t we all just get a long neck
There's crime in the city streets, Always trouble in the middle east: How’d they let things get so out of hand? Just watchin’ the evening news: That would give anybody the blues. The more I know, I think the less I understand.
chorus: Oh, why can’t we all just get a long neck, And make a toast to peace and harmony? Why, why can’t we all just get a long neck, And see how good getting along might be?
I’d like buy the world a round, In a honky tonk on neutral ground Where we can see, inside we’re all the same. Pop a top and let the good times pour, Til we forget what we was fightin for. I’ll ask again, can someone please explain.

sleep ... night
Hobo Bill's Last Ride sung by Jimmy Rodgers, the Singing Brakeman written by Waldo O'Neal, 1929
[Yodel:] Hobo Billy. Riding on an eastbound freight train, speeding through the night, Hobo Bill, a railroad bum, was fighting for his life, The sadness of his eves revealed the torture of his soul, He raised a weak and weary hand to brush away the cold. [Yodel:] Hobo Billy.
No warm lights flickered around him, no blankets there to fold, Nothing but the howling wind and the driving rain so cold, When he heard a whistle blowing in a dreamy kind of' way, The hobo seemed contented, for he smiled there where he lay. [Yodel:] Hobo Billy.
Outside the rain was falling on that lonely boxcar door, But the little form of Hobo Bill lay still upon the floor, While the train sped through the darkness and the raging storm outside, No one knew that Hobo Bill was taking his last ride.
It was early in the morning when they raised the hobo's head, The smile still lingered on his face, but Hobo Bill was dead; There was no mother's longing to soothe his weary soul, He was nothing but a railroad bum who died out in the cold.
Written specifically for Jimmie Rogers & first recorded by him 11/13/29. Many others have recorded it - Gene Autry & Frankie Marvin & Cisco Houston twice for folkways, with and without the yodel.
Thanks, Chielamangus , for introducing me to this fine singer.

I really can't stay (Baby, it's cold outside) I've got to go 'way (Baby, it's cold outside) The evening has been (I've been hopin' that you'd drop in) So very nice (I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice)
My mother will start to worry (Hey beautiful, what's your hurry?) And father will be pacing the floor (Listen to that fireplace roar) So really, I'd better scurry (Beautiful, please don't hurry) Well, maybe just a half a drink more (Put some music on while I pour)
The neighbors might think (Baby, it's bad out there) Say, what's in this drink? (No cabs to be had out there) I wish I knew how (Your eyes are like starlight now) To break this spell (I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)
I oughtta say no, no, no sir (You mind if I move in closer?) At least I'm gonna say that I tried (And what's the sense in hurting my pride?) I really can't stay (Oh baby, don't hold out) Oh, but it's cold outside
I simply must go (It's cold outside) The answer is no (Baby, it's cold outside) The welcome has been (So lucky that you dropped in) So nice and warm (Look out the window at that storm)
My sister will be suspicious (Your lips look delicious) My brother will be there at the door (I ain't worried about your brother) My maiden aunt's mind is vicious (That ol' biddy, she ain't gonna bother me) Well maybe just a cigarette more (You don't need no cigarette, it's smokin' plenty up in here)
I've got to get home (Baby, you'll freeze out there) Say, lend me a comb (It's up to your knees out there) You've really been grand (I thrill when you touch my hand) Oh, but don't you see (How can you do this thing to me)
There's bound to be talk tomorrow (Well, think of my lifelong sorrow) At least there will be plenty implied (If you caught pneumonia and died) I really can't stay (Get over that hold out) Oh, but baby it's cold outside

I've got to get home ... Old Kentucky Home
Turpentine and dandelion wine Turned the corner; I'm doin' fine. Shootin' at the birds on the telephone line, Pickin' em off with this gun of mine. I got a fire in my belly, got a fire in my head, Goin' higher, higher, 'til I'm dead.
[chorus, after each verse:] Oh the sun shines bright on my Old Kentucky Home. Young folks roll on the floor. The sun shines bright on my Old Kentucky Home. Keep those hard ... times away from my door. [/chorus]
Sister Sue, she's short and stout, She didn't grow up - she grew out. Mama says she's pretty but she's just bein' kind. Daddy thinks she's pretty but he's almost blind. They don't let her out much except at night. I don't care 'cause I'm all right.
Brother Eugene, he's big and mean, He don't have much to say. He had a little woman that he whupped each night, But now she's gone away. He got drunk last night and kicked mama down the stairs. I'm all right 'cause I don't care.

[sung at a very slow pace] While riding in my Cadillac, what to my surprise, A little Nash Rambler was following me, about one third my size. The guy must have wanted to pass me up as he kept on tooting his horn (Beep Beep!) I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn.
[chorus] Beep beep! (Beep beep!) Beep beep! (Beep beep!) His horn went Beep beep beep! (Beep beep!)
[a bit faster] I pushed my foot down to the floor to give the guy the shake, But the little Nash Rambler stayed right behind; he still had on his brake. He must have thought his car had more guts as he kept on tooting his horn. (Beep beep!) I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn. [chorus]
[quickly] My car went into passing gear and we took off with gust, And soon we were doing ninety, must have left him in the dust. When I peeked in the mirror of my car, I couldn't believe my eyes, That little Nash Rambler was right behind, you'd think the guy could fly. [chorus]
[fast] Now we're doing a hundred and ten; it certainly was a race. For a Rambler to pass a Caddy, would be a big disgrace. For the guy who wanted to pass me up, he kept on tooting his horn. (Beep beep!) I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn. [chorus]
[crazy-fast] Now we're doing a hundred and twenty, as fast as I could go, The Rambler pulled along side of me as if I were going slow. The fellow rolled down his window and yelled for me to hear, "Hey, buddy, how can I get this car Out ...... of ............second ..........................gear?"

hippie trail ... happy trails
Some trails are happy ones, Others are blue. It's the way you ride the trail that counts, Here's a happy one for you.
Happy trails to you, until we meet again. Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then. Who cares about the clouds when we're together? Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather. Happy trails to you, 'till we meet again.
While looking these up, I found something you may enjoy.

If you're ever in a jam, here I am If you're ever in a mess, S-O-S If you ever feel so happy, you land in jail... I'm your bail. It's friendship, friendship, just a perfect blendship. When other friendships have been forgot, Ours will still be hot.
If you're ever up a tree, phone to me. If you're ever down a well, ring my bell. If you ever lose your teeth, and you're out to dine... borrow mine. It's friendship, friendship, just a perfect blendship. When other friendships have been forgate, Ours will still be great.
If they ever black your eyes, put me wise. If they ever cook your goose, turn me loose. If they ever put a bullet through your brain... I'll complain. It's friendship, friendship, just a perfect blendship. When other friendships have been forgit, Ours will still be it.

In Your Wildest Dreams ~ Tina Turner
The sun goes down And the moon comes up My heart is pumping for you And a mad thing starts
Never in your wildest dreams Did you ever get this feeling Never in your wildest dreams Never in your wildest dreams Could it ever be this easy Never in your wildest dreams

in your wildest dreams...in my wildest dreams
Once upon a time Once when you were mine I remember skies Reflected in your eyes I wonder where you are I wonder if you Think about me Once upon a time In your wildest dreams
Once the world was new Our bodies felt the morning dew That greets the brand new day We couldn't tear ourselves away I wonder if you care I wonder if you still remember Once upon a time In your wildest dreams
And when the music plays And when the words are Touched with sorrow When the music plays I hear the sound I had to follow Once upon a time
Once beneath the stars The universe was ours Love was all we knew And all I knew was you I wonder if you know I wonder if you think about it Once upon a time In your wildest dreams
Once upon a time Once when you were mine I remember skies Mirrored in your eyes I wonder where you are I wonder if you Think about me Once upon a time In your wildest dreams In your wildest dreams In your wildest dreams

in your wildest dreams...beneath the stars
I love the Moody Blues!
My mom used to love Bob Dylan, so here is a song by him. It is very long so I haven't posted the whole song:
Idiot Wind ~ Bob Dylan
I can't feel you anymore, I can't even touch the books you've read Every time I crawl past your door, I been wishin' I was somebody else instead. Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy, I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory And all your ragin' glory.

ragin' glory
Brandy used to watch his eyes When he told his sailor stories She could feel the ocean foam rise She saw its ragin' glory But he had always told the truth, lord, he was an honest man And Brandy does her best to understand
"Brandy" ~ Looking Glass
I never cared too much for this song (though these lyrics could be the reason Aunt Ina always told me to stay away from sailors). But I was surprised to learn there exists another song with the phrase "ragin' glory" in it.) And Kalleh, yo' mama had good taste.

Shu, that would be one "I told you so" a woman wouldn't mind hearing from her mother.

Ragin' glory...She could feel
Brave New Girl ~ Britney Spears
She's gonna pack her bags She's gonna find her way She's gonna get right out of this She don't want New York She don't want L.A. She's gonna find that special kiss She don't want no sleep She don't want no high Oh, like peaches ‘n' cream She's gonna wish on stars and touch the sky Ah, you know what I mean
She wants a good time No need to rewind She needs to really really find what she wants She lands on both feet Won't take a back seat There's a brave new girl And she's comin' out tonight
She's gonna step outside Uncover her eyes Who knew she could feel so alive Her M.O.'s changed She don't wanna behave Ain't it good to be a brave girl tonight
quote:
And Kalleh, yo' mama had good taste.
Well, thank you, Saranita!

Be My Baby Tonight ~ Montgomery John Michael
I know you've heard that worn out line About love at first sight Well I never knew those words were true Till you walked in tonight All it took was just one look To knock me off my feet I'm not a man of many words So I'll make this short and sweet
Could ya would ya ain't ya gonna if I asked you Would ya wanna be my baby tonight Yeah I'd take a chance slow dance make a little romance Honey it'll be alright Girl you got me wishin' we were huggin' and a kissin' and a holdin' each other tight So could ya would ya ain't ya gonna if I asked you Would ya wanna be my baby tonight
Yesterday when I was young The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue; I teased at life as if it were a foolish game The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame.
The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned-- I always built to last on weak and shifting sand; I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day, And only now I see how the years ran away.
Yesterday when I was young, So many happy songs were waiting to be sung, So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me, And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see.
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out, I never stopped to think what life was all about; And ev'ry conversation I can now recall Concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all.
Yesterday the moon was blue, And ev'ry crazy day brought something new to do, I used my magic age as if it were a wand, And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond.
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride, And ev'ry flame I lit too quickly, quickly died; The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away And only I am left on stage to end the play.
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung, I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue; The time has come for me to pay for yesterday When I was young.
Hier Encore was written and performed by the French singer, Charles Aznavour in 1964 and translated into English by Herbert Kretzmer(1965?). It was recorded as Yesterday when I was young by Roy Clark (1965?). Clark's recording reached # 9 on the country charts in 1969.

songs were waiting to be sung ... songs to be sung
You make me feel so young You make me feel like spring has sprung Every time I see you grin I’m such a happy in...dividual
The moment that you speak I want to go and play hide-and-seek I want to go and bounce the moon Just like a toy balloon
You and I, are just like a couple of tots Running across the meadow Picking up lots of forget-me-nots
You make me feel so young You make me feel there are songs to be sung Bells to be rung, and a wonderful fling to be flung And even when I’m old and gray I’m gonna feel the way I do today ’cause You make me feel so young.
You Make Me Feel So Young, myrow/gordon, as performed by Frank Sinatra

you make me feel
Lookin' out on the morning rain I used to feel so uninspired And when I knew I had to face another day Lord, it made me feel so tired Before the day I met you Life was so unkind But you're the key to my piece of mind
'cause you make me feel You make me feel You make me feel like a natural woman
When my soul was in the lost and found You came along to claim it I didn't know just what was wrong with me Till your kiss helped me name it Now I'm no longer doubtful Of what I'm livin' for And if I make you happy I don't need to do more
'cause you make me feel You make me feel You make me feel like a natural woman
Oh, baby, what you done to me! You make me feel so good inside And I just wanna be Close to you You make me feel so alive
You make me feel You make me feel You make me feel like a natural woman You make me feel You make me feel You make me feel like a natural woman You make me feel You make me feel....
