Lets Stay Together
Al Green


(Let's stay together)

I'm, I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is alright with me
'Cause you make me feel, so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you

Me sayin' since, baby, since we've been together
Ooo, loving you forever
Is what I need
Let me, be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue
Ooo baby

Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Oooo oooo ooo ooo, yeah
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

Why somebody, why people break up
Oh, and turn around and make up
I just can't seeeeeeeee
You'd never do that to me
(Would you baby)
'Cause being around you is all I see
It's why I want us to

Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether

Waitin for to be confessed
On the floor and all undressed
You can tell me go, tell me I can stay
But I'll forget you either way
Remember when the house come down
A little dirty romance all around
Now I believe every word you say
But I forget you everyday
When I'm layin on top of that woman
Kind of thing, child, could make me crawl
I mean skin and all
Out on the edge of some canyon
Where I just forget and you can't recall
No you can't recall
Momma cry and Daddy moan
Starving in some trailer home
Want to burn it down, burn it where you lay
But I forget you everyday
While I forget you everyday

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes aaaahhhh

When she walks, she’s like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes, each one she passes goes - aaahhh

but I watch her oh so sadly
How can I tell her I love her
Yes I would give my heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me

Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely
The girl from ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, I smile - but she doesn’t see
she just doesn’t see, she never sees me,.

I'm looking through you, where did you go
I thought I knew you, what did I know
You don't look different, but you have changed
I'm looking through you, you're not the same

Your lips are moving, I cannot hear
Your voice is soothing, but the words aren't clear
You don't sound different, I've learned the game
I'm looking through you, you're not the same

Why, tell me why, did you not treat me right?
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight

You're thinking of me, the same old way
You were above me, but not today
The only difference is you're down there
I'm looking through you, and you're nowhere

Why, tell me why, did you not treat me right?
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight

I'm looking through you, where did you go
I thought I knew you, what did I know
You don't look different, but you have changed
I'm looking through you, you're not the same

al yankovic~the saga starts (or something like that anyway *shrug*)


a long, long time ago,
in a galaxy far away,
naboo was under an attack.
and I thought me and qui-gon jinn
could talk the federation in-
to maybe cutting them a little slack.
but their response, it didn't thrill us.
they locked the doors and tried to kill us.
we escaped from that gas,
then met jar jar and boss nass.
we took a bongo from the scene
and we went to theed to see the queen.
we all wound up on tatooine,
that's where we found this boy...

oh my-my, this here anikin guy,
maybe vader someday later; now he's just a small fry.
and he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
sayin', "soon i'm gonna be a jedi,
soon i'm gonna be a jedi"

did you know this junkyard slave
isn't even old enough to shave
and he can use the force, they say?
and do you see him hitting on the queen
though he's just nine and she's fourteen?
yeah, he's probably gonna marry her someday.
well, i knew he build c-3po,
and i've heard how fast his pod can go,
and we were broke, it's true.
so we made a wager or two--hooo.
he was a prepubescent flyin' ace
and the minute jabba started off that race
well, i knew who would win first place,
oh yes, it was our boy

we started singing'...
my my, this here anikin guy,
maybe vader someday later: now he's just a small fry
and he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
sayin', "soon I'm gonna be a jedi,
soon I'm gonna be a jedi."

now,we finally got to coruscant,
the jedi council we knew would want
to see how good the boy could be.
so we took him there and we told the tale
how his midi-chlorians were off the scale
and he might fulfill that prophecy.
oh, the council was impressed of course.
could he bring balance to the force?
they interviewed the kid.
oh-o, training they forbid
because yoda sensed in him much fear.
so qui-gonn said, "now listen here,
just stick it in your pointy ear.
i still will teach this boy"

he was singin'...
my my, this here anikin guy
maybe vader someday later - now he's just a small fry.
and he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
sayin', "soon i'm gonna be a jedi,
soon i'm gonna be a jedi."

we caught a ride back to naboo
'cause queen amidala wanted to,
i frankly would've like to stay.
we all fought in that epic war
and it wasn't long at all before
little hotshot flew his plane and saved the day.
and in the end some gungans died,
some ships blew up and some pilots fried.
a lot of folks were croakin'.
the battle droids were broken.
and the jedi i admire most
met up with darth maul and now he's toast.
well, i'm still here and he's a ghost.
i guess i'll train this boy.

and I was singin'...
my my, this here anikin guy
maybe vader someday later; now he's just a small fry
and he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
sayin', "soon i'm gonna be a jedi
soon i’m goon be a jedi.”

we were singing…
my my, this here anikin guy
maybe vader someday later; now he's just a small fry.
and he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
sayin', "soon i'm gonna be a jedi.”
:grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

Never Never Land (from "Peter Pan")
Composer: Comden/Green/Styne

I know a place where dreams are born
And time is never planned
It's not on any chart
You must find it in your heart
Never Never Land
It may be miles beyond the moon
Or right there where you stand
Just keep an open mind
And then suddenly you'll find
Never Never Land
You'll have a treasure if you stay there
More precious far than gold
For once you have found your way there
You will never, never grow old
And that's my home where dreams are born
And time is never planned
Just think of pleasant things
And your heart will fly on wings, forever in
Never Never Land

The Wind ~ Cat Stevens

I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul
Where I end up, well, I think only God really knows
I swam across the setting sun, but never, never, never, never
I never wanted water once, no never, never, never

I listen to my words, but they fall far below
I let my music take me where my heart wants to go
I swam across the devil's lake, but never, never, never, never
I'll never make the same mistake, no never, never, never

Hear me now, that's me now
Hear me now, watch me
Hear me now, that's me now
Hear me now, watch me

What me say now, tell me to the wind
Turn on down the corner, get my butt movin'
Open your heart to the invitation
And it's like this, how we begun

I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul
Where I end up, well, I think only God really knows
I swam across the devil's lake, but never, never, never, never
I'll never make the same mistake, no never, never, never

One time, tell me now
Just how we begin
Tell me now, back and back out in the wind
It's like this, that's how we begin
It's like that now, back up in the wind
It's like this, that's how we begin
It's like that now, back up in the wind
It's like this, that's how we begin
Tell me now, back and back out in the wind

Listen to it
Listen to the wind
Listen to it
Listen to the wind

Shania Twain, "Don't"

Don’t you wish we tried?
Do you feel what I feel inside
You know my love is stronger than pride
No, don’t let your anger grow
Just tell me what you need me to know
Please talk to me, don’t close the door
Cause I wanna hear you, wanna be near you

Don’t fight, don’t argue
Give me the chance to say I’m sorry
Just let me love you
Don’t turn me away, don’t tell me to go

Don’t give up on trust
Don’t give up on me
If we could just hold on long enough
We can do it
We’ll get through it

Don’t fight, don’t argue
Give me the chance to say I’m sorry
Just let me love you
Don’t turn me away, don’t tell me to go

Don’t pretend that it’s ok
Things won’t get better that way
Don’t do something you might regret someday
Don’t
Don’t give up on me
We can do it
We’ll get through it

Don’t fight, don’t argue
Give me the chance to say I’m sorry
Just let me love you
Don’t turn me away, don’t tell me to go

Get Here (if you can) ~ Oleta Adams

You can reach me by railway, you can reach me by trailway
You can reach me on an airplane, you can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by caravan, cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here, just- get here if you can

You can reach me by sailboat, climb a tree and swing rope to rope
Take a sled and slide down slow, into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedy colt, cross the border in a blaze of hope
I don't care how you get here, just- get here if you can

There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
If I had my way, then surely you would be closer
I need you closer

You can windsurf into my life, take me up on a carpet ride
You can make it in a big balloon, but you better make it soon
You can reach me by caravan, cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here, just- get here if you can

I don't care, I dont care, I need you right here right now

I need you right here, right now, right by my side

I don't care how you get here, just- get here if you can

It's no trick loving somebody at their best. Love is loving them at their worst.

It isn't premarital sex if you have no intention of getting married.

Oh Flutelady, I love that one too!!!! I hear this one on the radio and its sooo sad.........

Its Getting Better All The Time
Brooks & Dunn

I don't stop breathing every time the phone rings
My heart don't race when someones at my door
I've almost given up thinkin' your ever gonna call
I don't believe in magic anymore.

I just don't lie awake at night
Asking God would get you off my mind
It's getting better all the time
It's getting better all the time.

Yeah, I got to work on time again this morning
This old job is all that I got to live
And no one even noticed I'd been crying
At least I don't have whisky on my breath.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna make it
'Cause God won't make a mountain I can't climb
It's getting better all the time
It's getting better all the time.

God, I hope your happy
Girl, I wish you well
I just might get over you
You can never tell.

I always thought that I'd do something crazy
If ever saw you out with someone else
But when the moment came last night
I couldn't say a word, I stood there in the dark all by myself.

Yeah, I could of said a million things
All I did was keep it locked inside
It's getting better all the time
It's getting better all the time.

It's getting better all the time...

Boys of Summer ~ Don Henley

Nobody on the road
nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
the summer's out of reach
Empty lake,
empty streets
the goes down alone
I'm :drive: by your house
Though I know you're not home
But I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the
You got your hair combed back and your
sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you
will still be strong after the boys of
summer have gone
I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream?
Now I don't understand what's happened
to our love,
But babe, I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the
I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone

I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone
Out on the road today I saw a DEADHEAD sticker
on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said, "Don't
look back. You can never look back."
I thought I knew what love was,
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but-
I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the
You got that top pulled down and that radio on baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone
I can see you-
Your brown skin shining in the
You got that hair slicked back and
those Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone

Though I am different from you,
We were born involved in one another.

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

GARDENHEAD/ LEAVE ME ALONE
NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL ON AVERY ISLAND
--------
There are beads that wrap
Around your knees that crackle into the dark
Like a walk in the park like a hole in your head
Like the feeling you get when you realize you're dead
This time we ride roller coasters into the ocean
We feel no emotion as we spiral down to the world
And I guess it's worth your time
Because there's some lives you live
And some you leave behind
It gets hard to explain
The gardenhead knows my name
Leave me alone, for you know this isn't the first time
In fact this is twice in a row
That the angels have slipped through our landslide
And filled up our garden with snow
And I don't wish to taste of your insides
Or to call out your name through my phone
For the glory boys at your bedside will love you
As long as you're something to own
Follow me through a city of frost covered angels
I swear I have nothing to prove
I just want to dance in your tangles
To give me some reason to move
But to take on the world at all angles
Requires a strength I can't use
So I'll meet you up high in your anger
Of all that is hoping and waiting for you

Currington Billy
Time With You

Daily grind is stealing me away again
When I just wanna lay back down
Another night gone and don't know where it went
What I need more than anything right now

Is time with you more time with you
To laugh and talk and play and make more love to you
Ah there's nothing in this world I'd rather do
Then spend time with you

Seven days you and me in paradise
The world revolving around us
We'd still be there and forever if the choice was mine
'Cause seven days that's not enough

Is time with you more time with you
To laugh and talk and play and make more love to you
Ah there's nothing in this world I'd rather do
Then spend time with you
Time with you

I'm gone for now to do the things I have to do
But baby you know I live

For time with you more time with you
To laugh and talk and play and make more love to you
Ah there's nothing in this world I'd rather do
Then spend time with you
More time with you
