I live in a tiny closet A lukewarm cold water flat With room for a couple of cinders A mouse, a hole, and a trap I don't worry about the flights Or count the stairs 'Cause I know Someone's thereI took a high paying sweeping-up job Dusting after somebody else Seeing that there's clean on the windows Convincing the snow to melt I don't worry about the ride Or the subway fare 'Cause I know Someone's thereOne day we'll move uptown Or even out to the country side And for every leaf on a tree We'll add one cub to the prideWho cares if the floor ain't level Or if the ceiling falls in Haunted by the devil And ghosts and boogeymen I can't be concerned Why should I care No place I'd go alone would compare 'Cause I know You're there |

I forget what happens on the Fourth of July Or when the rent is due Dates and deadlines just float by But I always remember youWhat Colombus set out to discover Isabelle already knew There'll be horizons and skylines and other lovers But I always remember youIf I could rearrange history And give it to you as a gift There would be one more movement In Beethoven's fifthWhy, oh why, in a land of plenty Some just have to make due At the end of a breadline with just a penny I'll always remember you |

There's a few things I haven't told you And before you hear them from someone else To clear up misconceptions I'd rather tell you myself There was a timeI rode a roller coaster From Coney Island to Key West I held on with one finger So the other ten could rest It may be hard to believe Hard to comprehend But baby, you didn't know me whenI played third chair trombone In an out-of-work polka band We looked for gigs on ships In countries that had no land It may be hard to believe We hit the top ten But baby, you didn't know me whenIf you want a resume I'll put it in writing It's only good for a day and the contents are frighteningI gave long-winded speeches I was a head-of-state I wrote an endless novel Called See Jane Love And Hate It may be hard to believe I'm reticent But baby, you didn't know me when |

I know a girl Who says she loves me She says she needs me And I have reason to believe her Good reasonLike when we kiss My eyes won't open My heart won't listen And I don't have a word to say No, not a wordLook, my darling And you'll hear me sing "I love you" With my eyes Let me hold you Really hold you Then you'll know my heartJust can't tell lies It knows a true love It knows it's you, love And it knows that you say You love me And I say I love you, too |

He is good They are happy He is strong They are secure He is right They are unquestioning He is wrong They are demureWhen she left He was tortured She was gone They were confused He was forgetful They were supportive He was funny They were amusedHe did things that only superman could do Things that sis and I could not believe were trueHe is older They are loving He is hardened They are grown He is needing They are giving He is glad they are his own |

I've travelled many a mile And I haven't found a home I've travelled many a mile And one seed's unsown I'll travel another mile 'Til I finally find my own With imagination I'll get thereI started with a dream But came to a decision I started with a dream But now I have a mission I have a goal To see beyond my vision With imagination I'll get thereI've got to be strong [Shannon] To climb the next hill I've got to be strong [Russell] My fate to fulfill And from a strength [Leroy] Stronger than my will With imagination I'll get thereIn my father's house No harsh words are spoken In my father's house No vows are broken In a holy place My sould like beams oaken With imagination I'll get thereWhen weary is your world Go and spin another When weary is your world There's heaven to discover Here on earth We're sister and brother With imagination We'll get thereAnd if I stand alone To my cause I'm loyal If I stand alone Either common or royal I'm not afraid To cross their sea of toil With imagination I'll get thereWith imagination I'll get thereWith imagination I'll get there |

If I could give you more I'd fill the house with flowers Let you sleep for hours Throw open the windows and unlock the doors If I could give you moreIf I could give you more I'd make the streets safe For every homeless waif That wanders alone to a foreign shore If I could give you moreSee that you are sainted Remain true and pure So that you never get lost No matter what you may endureIf I could give you more I'd hand the world a phrase That could not be erased And tells of a love that's never been before Oh, I will give you more |

Danny was an old-time Bourbon Street barker Who wanted the same as Charlie Parker And always cued-up a ball Thinking he was one rack away But even when you run the table The check still seems small When it's your last paydayThe shallow pocket changer Who always took advantage of strangers Tried to make a five-grand grab With a split second getaway But he forgot that a bag of money Ain't worth much on a slab When it's your last paydayThat line about luck just can't be bought You're always lucky 'til you get caught Trouble will find you, no need to look And luck won't help when they close the bookI know a lot of young fellas in here Especially those on the highest tier Still want to believe That Santa comes in a sleigh They're right about the long white beard But wrong about Christmas Eve What's Christmas, when it's your last payday |

It's time to admit you love me The flush of your cheek betrays I hear a sigh in your voice Your every word conveysIt's time to admit you love me I feel the weight of your gaze The smile that's mine alone Your starry eyes sparkle ablazeIt's such a simple thing How hard can it be These few words Endear you to meIt's time to admit I love you And lift the worry from your brow Rest your head upon my shoulder There's nothing to be afraid of now |

I met her... but I never thought She'd belong to me I just wanted someone I could sing to Who'd listen to every song Oh, I just wanted someone I could cling to Cling to all night longSo I kissed her... but I never thought She'd belong to me And when I felt her lips I skipped a heartbeat 'Cause I was so in love with this girl Oh, and how many times does your heart meet The most beautiful girl in the worldSo I thought and thought about her I just couldn't stop thinking about her And I died when she called me up and said She couldn't stop thinking about meNow I love her... but I never thought She'd belong to me Now guys are calling wanting to be boyfriends But they're going to have to answer to me Oh, 'cause I'm going to tell all those toy friends That she belongs to me |

I cried all night for Sonny 'Til my eyes were dry 'Til the oceans overflowed And the Red Sea turned blue I cried all night for Sonny I heard he was crying, tooI cried all night for Sonny We s hands and said goodbye His face was etched with sorrow His heart without a hue I cried all night for Sonny I heard he was crying, tooWhen you try and love two people You can't love either one 'Cause after a while you'll have to choose Or else love self denialI stayed all night with Sonny Like there'd never be another day Go on and sleep 'til sunset And I'll watch over you I cried all night for Sonny I know he was crying, too |
