OUR HOUSE
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
(words and music by Graham Nash)
Come to me now
And rest your head for just five minutes
Everything is done
Such a cozy room
The windows are illuminated by the evening sunshine through them
Fiery gems for you.
Only for you.

OUR HOUSE
MADNESS
I remember way back then when everything was true and when
We would have such a very good time such a fine time
Such a happy time
And I remember how we'd play simply waste the day away
Then we'd say nothing would come between us two dreamers
Careless talk
Through paper walls
We can't stop them
Only laugh at them
Spreading rumors
So far from true
Dragged up from the underworld
JUst like some precious pearl
There's a weapon
We must use
In our defense
Silence
Hush, my darling
Don't you cry
Quiet, angel
Forget their lies
OUR LOVE
Natalie Cole
OUR LOVE
Tommy Dorsey
- words and music by Larry Clinton, Buddy Bernier and Bob Emmerich
Our love
I feel it everywhere
Through the nighttime
It is the message of the breeze
Our love
Is like an evening prayer
I can hear it
In every whisper of the trees
And so you're always near to me
Wherever you may be
I see
Your face in stars above
As I dream on
In all the magic of
Our love

From: MoeDonna@aol.com
VERSE 1:
Without you, without you
I always thought that everything was fine without you
Never knowing you'd be mine
Suddenly my world has changed
nd I just wonder why
All it took was just one smile
CHORUS:
Now with you, out of the blue
Love appeared before my eyes with you
A dream come true
I never thought I'd realize what love was
what love was, what love was
VERSE 2:
I need you, oh I need you
And everyday I love you more and more
Without you (dreams and tears)
I know what it's all for
Suddenly I see you there
And everything's ok
Don't know why I feel this way
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
We are together now
Never take my heart away
All the love I found
Is here to stay (out of the blue)

Move yourself
You always live your life
Never thinking of the future
Prove yourself
You are the move you make
Take your chances win or loser
See yourself
You are the steps you take
You and you - and that's the only way
Watch it now
The eagle in the sky
How he dancin' one and only
You - lose yourself
No not for pity's sake
There's no real reason to be lonely
Be yourself
Give your free will a chance
You've got to want to succeed

Somebody's got to get in the house. We can't climb in the transit.

I can see,
There ain't no room for me.
You're only holdin' up your heart in sympathy.
If there's another man,
Then girl I understand.
Go on and take his hand,
And don't you worry 'bout me.
I'll be blue,
And I'll be cryin' too.
But girl you know I only want what's best for you.
What good is all my pride,
If our true love has died.
Go on and be his bride,
And don't you worry 'bout me.
<Chorus>
I'll be strong,
I'll try to carry on.
Although you know it won't be easy when your gone.
I'll always think of you,
The tender love we knew.
But somehow I'll get through,
So don't you worry 'bout me.
Ooo-oo,
Baby.
Sweetie pie,
Before you say goodbye.
Remember if he ever leaves you high and dry.
Don't cry alone in pain,
Don't ever feel ashamed.
If you want me again,
Just don't you worry 'bout me.
I love you,
No matter what you do.
I'll spend my whole life waitin' if you want me too.
And if this is goodbye,
You know I'd rather die.
Than let you see me cry,
'Cause then you'd worry 'bout me.
<Chorus>
I'll be strong,
I'll try to carry on.
Although you know it won't be easy when your gone.
I'll always think of you,

So don't you worry 'bout me.

Well, if you ever been to Paris and you ever missed a plane
Nothin' much to do but sit around
Think a little ???? will laugh at where you come from
Have another glass of Paris Brown
Well, the mission was accomplished on the day that you arrived
Maria hung you out and let you dry
You never understood the language lesson that she gave you
Caught it in reflection of her eye
Well the times are getting hard for you little girl
I'm a-hummin and a-strummin all over God's world
You can't remember when you got your last meal
And you don't know just how a woman feels

(Yeah) I can feel you,

(Yeah) Just as my life fades to darkness
you you make me see the light.
Show me that my search is over
I pay the price, I pay the price.
VERSE 2:
So I'm standing 'round this corner
Tall enough to touch the New York sky, oh yes
My love is so blind
I just cannot hear or see the world go by, oh yes
Someone can love so completely
One kiss should break the sea.
Truth can be stranger than fiction
This love is real
This love is real.
VERSE 3:
I will follow
Count on me, I'll never let you down, oh yes
My devotion
If love is an ocean I'll surely drown, oh yes
You'll be my only possession
I'll be a slave to you
We hold the power together
Just me and you
Just me and you.

We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you don't care for it
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love

We get to carry each other

(Spoken)
Well, I think I finally found me a sure-fire way to forget;
Its so simple, Im surprised I hadnt done thought of it before yet.
Its foolproof -- well its foolhardy, maybe, but who knows --
Anyway, here I am, walkin down toward where the cold, dark water flows.
All it takes is...
(Spoken)
Oh-ho, I wanta be free, free from all this heartache and regret,
And free from pinin for the love I cant forget.
The love that once was warm and then just somehow turned to hate,
Made my life a prison from which theres only one escape --
Thats...
I have learnt, time will tell, years will pass, tears will fall,
Don't be fooled, fed by words, their sweet songs,

Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
And teacher
There are things
That I don't want to learn
Oh the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
And teacher
There are things
That I still have to learn
But the one thing I have is my pride
Oh so I don't want to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because there ain't no joy

Who just isn't willing to try
I'm so cold
Inside
Maybe just one more try...

One Night
Elvis Presley
(words & music by D. Bartholomew - P. King)
THE AMERICAN:
Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
Show with everything but Yul Brynner
COMPANY:
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky then the god's a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
THE AMERICAN:
One town's very like another
When your head's down over your pieces, brother
COMPANY:
It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
To be looking at the board, not looking at the city
THE AMERICAN:
Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town --
COMPANY:
Tea, girls, warm, sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite
THE AMERICAN:
Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine
COMPANY:
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me
THE AMERICAN:
Siam's gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha
COMPANY:
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
A little flesh, a little history
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
(Lead break)
(One of a kind) Wooh-ee, baby (love affair is) I wanna tell you now,
Every day is sunshine, girl, youre on my mind.
In the desert sun every step that you take could be the final one
In the burning heat hanging on the edge of destruction
You can't stop the pain of your children crying out in your head
They always said that the living would envy the dead
One of these dreams, one of these lost and lonely dreams, now
We're gonna find one, mm, one that really screams
I've been searching for the daughter of the devil himself
I've been searching for an angel in white
I've been waiting for a woman who's a little of both
And I can feel her but she's nowhere in sight
Oh, loneliness will blind you in between the wrong and the right
Oh, coming right behind you, swear I'm gonna find you one of these nights
ONE OF THESE NIGHTS oh, in between the dark and the light
Coming right behind you, swear I'm gonna find you
Get you, baby, one of these nights
ONE OF THESE NIGHTS oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
ONE OF THESE NIGHTS I can feel it, I can feel it
ONE OF THESE NIGHTS coming right behind you, swear I'm gonna find you now
ONE OF THESE NIGHTS and it's so dark, it's so dark and cold
ONE OF THESE NIGHTS one of these crazy crazy crazy nights
ONE OF THESE NIGHTS swear I'm gonna find you coming right behind you
ONE OF THESE NIGHTS oh-o-o-o-o-oo-o-oo-o-oo-o-oo
ONE OF THESE NIGHTS and I wanna say ah
ONE OF THESE NIGHTS one of these, one of these
ONE OF THESE NIGHTS coming right behind you, swear I'm gonna find you
ONE OF THESE NIGHTS one of these nights, one of these crazy nights

CHORUS
-----------------------------------------------
The deception with tact, just what are you trying to say?
You've got a blank face, which irritates
Communicate, pull out your party piece
You see dimensions in two
State your case with black or white
But when one little cross leads to shots, grit your teeth
You run for cover so discreet, why don't they:
Don't you just know I waitin' for the train that goes home sweet Mary
Hopin' that the train is on time
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
I want to be
One toke over the line sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
Don't you just know I waitin' for the train that goes home sweet Mary
Hopin' that the train is on time
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over line
One toke, one toke over the line

You
Soft and lovely are
Lighting my dreams like a morning star
Rocking my world with your open arms
I couldn't feel the sun
Looking for something so high above
Guess you could say I was blind to love
You
Magic in your eyes
Peaceful and clear as a summer day
Showed me the truth behind love's disguise
I couldn't hear a sound
Pure as the melodies ever sung
Two strings together that makes us one
You
Breezin' through my mind
Oh no my lady I can't deny
You know the way to paradise
Could this be torn apart
Standing in the pouring rain
Running from love when it brings you pain

ONLY FOREVER
Bing Crosby
(Monaco, Burke)
- The movie Rhythm on the River provided Bing his third No. 1 hit of 1940.
Johnny Burke got the idea for "Only Forever" from an expression he heard
Bing use. Bing recorded the song July 3 with John Scott Trotter's
Orchestra, and by fall it had shot to the top of the Billboard charts,
where it stayed for a whopping 9 weeks! All together, "Only Forever" spent
20 weeks on the Billboard charts.

Go to sleep a pauper and wake up a millionaire
Only in America
Can a kid without a cent
Get a break and maybe grow up to be President
Only in America
Land of opportunity, yeah
Would a classy girl like you fall for a poor boy like me
Only in America
Can a kid who's washin' cars
Take a giant step and reach right up and touch the stars
Only in America
Could a dream like this come true
Could a guy like me start with nothing and end up with you
Only in America
Land of opportunity, yeah
Would a classy girl like you fall for a poor boy like me

Something in my heart always knew

This wasn't how it was supposed to be
On my own
I wish that we could do it all again

Losing you it cut like a knife
You walked out and there went my life

"On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe" was introduced by Judy Garland in
the 1945 MGM film "The Harvey Girls". The song won an Oscar. It was also a big
hit for Bing Crosby who recorded it Feb. 17, 1944, although the recording was
not released until June 1945. But Johnny Mercer's recording was the biggest hit.
It reached #1 in the summer of 1945. The following lyrics were transcribed from
the Bing Crosby recording.

Don't it kinda strike you sad when you hear our song
Things are not the same since we broke up last June
The only thing that I wanna hear is that you love me still
And that you think you'll be comin' home real soon
Whoa, oh, yeah, yeah
And it made me feel proud when I heard you say
You couldn't find the words to say it yourself
And now in my heart I know I can say what I really feel
'Cause they said it really loud
They said it on the air
On the radio
Whoa, oh, oh
On the radio
Whoa, oh, oh
On the radio
Whoa, oh, oh
On the radio
(end)
Now,
If you think that love isn't found on the radio
Then tune right in you made find the love you lost
'Cause now I'm sittin here with the man I sent away long ago
It sounded really loud
They said it really loud
On the radio
Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

I'm on the road again and you can do what you want
Look out pretty mama I'm on the road again
Uh! ah!

Look out! come on!
Ayyy! yeah!
Well, I'm pretty sure those are the right lyrics. "Leaving trunk" might be
"leaving truck," and "Down the road I'm going" might be "Down the road I'll
go," but I think what I wrote is correct.

On the road again, just can't wait to get on the road again
F#m
The life I love is makin' music with my friends

And I can't wait to get on the road again

(verse)
Covered with dust and forgotten,
Like the face upon the wall.
The one souvenir of the days gone by,
I treasure most of all:
(refrain)
There's an old spinning wheel in the parlor,
Spinning dreams of the long, long ago.
Spinning dreams of an old fashioned garden,
And a maid with her old fashioned beau,
Sometimes it seems that I can hear her in the twilight
At the organ softly singing "Old Black Joe."
There's an old spinning wheel in the parlor,
Spinning dreams of the long, long a go.
(verse)
Turn back the years of my childhood
As you turn, old spinning wheel.
Just show me a lane with a barefoot boy,
As shadows softly steal:

It's guaranteed to keep you alive
Oh my my, oh my my,
You can you boogie, can you slide
Oh my my, oh my my,
We can boogie, 'till we die
Oh my my, if you try,
It's guaranteed to keep you alive
Oh my my, oh my my,
Watch me boogie, watch me fly
Oh my my, oh my my,
Born to boogie, born to slide
Oh my my, oh my my,
Ooh wee boogie, ooh wee I
Oh my my, oh my my,
Play that boogie, play that slide.

Chorus:
Oh, people....we are writing this song. We're all living
these words together forever.
There's no reason we can't live and be one...
Build the world that we want together.
For as long as you stand here by me..... we'll live on.

The corn is as high as an elephants eye,
An it looks like its climbin clear up in the sky.

Oh, What a beautiful day.

Everythings goin my way.

They dont turn their heads as they see me ride by,
But a little brown mavrick is winkinher eye.

Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are
Meat Loaf
But I can still recall the sting of all the tears when he was gone
They said he crashed and burned
I know I'll never learn why any boy should die so young
Chorus:
But it was long ago and it was far away, oh God it seems so very far
And if life is just a highway, then the soul is just a car
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
(Solo)
I know I still believe he'd never let me leave, I had to run away alone So
many threats and fears, so many wasted years before my life became my own
chorus
(Solo)
She used her body just like a bandage, she used my body just like a wound
I'll probably never know where she disappeared But I can see her rising up
out of the back seat now Just like an angel rising up from a tomb

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
(repeats 6x)
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

CHORUS
CHORUS
'n' Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe
Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show
And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night?
"I'll have another piece-a apple pie, you know it don't seem right"
"I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge"
"And now ya tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
A year has come 'n' gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe
'n' Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus going 'round, Papa caught it and he died last Spring
And now Mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything
And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge

Took my love for granted & you pushed your luck too far

I've had it up to here & I want out, yeah
