Whenever I see your smiling face
I have to smile myself Because I love you And when you give me that pretty little pout It turns me inside out There's something about you, baby I don't know Isn't it amazing a man like me Can feel this way Tell me how much longer If it grows stronger every day Oh, how much longer I thought I was in love a couple of times before With the girl next door But that was long before I met you Now I'm sure that I won't forget you And I thank my lucky stars That you are who you are And not just another lovely lady Sent down to break my heart Isn't it amazing a man like me Can feel this way Tell me how much longer If it grows stronger every day, yeah How much longer? No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today Whenever I see you smile at me No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today Whenever I see your smiling face my way No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today |

Oh boy, Botany Bay
Watching the water go by Here's your home so far away Here is a tear for your eye Here is a vast and unknown land Here are the strangers on the sand Oh, seeds of the universe ever endeavor to grow Tiny pieces of everything into the water they go Everything changes for the strangers on the shore They are blue and green no more They are yellow and rose Down under got the south side This groovy crazy planet Watching from the outside It's as smooth as a gravy sandwich People play music night for day One caught the sun in a sekere Seeds of the universe ever endeavor to grow Tiny pieces of everything into the water they go Everything changes for the strangers on the shore They are blue and green no more They are yellow and rose Remember when we thought we were in California We thought it was the eye of the hurricane Old gypsy woman she tried to warn you "You'll be back this way again Hungry for the rain It's written in your hand, plain" Seeds of the universe ever endeavor to grow Tiny pieces of everything into the water they go Everything changes for the strangers on the shore They are blue and green no more They are yellow and rose Yellow and Rose Yellow and Rose Yellow and Rose |

Once upon a time a good friend of mine told me to tell y'all what I say today. Do the things that keep a smile on her face, say the words that make her feel better every day. You bet you better keep on you P's and Q's. If you don't the woman, you can easily lose. Oh, I had a love, a true love and I lost it. No one seems to understand about the pain that it cost me. Woman's got to have it, I believe that I should know, she's got to know that she's that she's needed around when you kiss her, you got to make her feel it everyday, boy, she's got to know that she's not walking on shaky ground. Think it over. Don't take for granted the smile upon her face. Check a little bit closer, you might find a tear trace. Maybe the little girl never said a mumbling word, but she's got to know that her voice is heard. Oh, I had a love, it was a true love and I lost it. Now I'm suffering all this pain that the true love cost me. A woman's got to have it, I believe, she's got to know that she's that she's needed around when you kiss her, you got to let her feel it everyday, boy she's got to know that she's not walking on shaky ground. So if you've got a love, maybe you've got eyes to keep her, you've got to give her what she wants when she wants it where she wants it, all right, how she wants it, And every dog gone time she thinks she needs it. Your woman needs it the same as mine, woman got to have it from time to time. Woman got to have it. Woman got to have it, that's what I say. Woman got to have it. |

My daddy was an engineer, my brother drives a hack, my sister takes in laundry while the baby balls the jack, and it don't look like I'll ever stop my wandering. I've been in the army, I've worked on a farm and all I've got to show is the muscle in my arm, and it don't look like I'll ever stop my wandering. My ma, she died when I was young, my daddy took to stealing and he got hung, and it don't look like I'll ever stop my wandering. Snakes in the ocean, eels in the sea, I let a redheaded woman make a fool out of me, and it don't look like I'll ever stop my wandering.

Well, the leaves have come to turning And the goose has gone to fly And bridges are for buning So don't you let that yearning Pass you by Walking man, walking man walks Well, any other man stops and talks But the walking man walks Well the frost is on the pumpkin And the hay is in the barn An Pappy's come to rambling on Stumbling around drunk Down on the farm And the walking man walks Doesn't know nothing at all Any other man stops and talks But the walking man walks on by Walk on by Most everybody's got seed to sow It ain't always easy for a weed to grow, oh no So he don't hoe the row for no one Oh for sure he's always missing And something is never quite right Ah, but who would want to listen to you Kissing his existence good night Walking man walk on by my door Well, any other man stops and talks But not the walking man He's the walking man Born to walk Walk on walking man Well now, would he have wings to fly Would he be free Golden wings against the sky Walking man, walk on by So long, walking man, so long |

Beneath the tide the fishes glide, fin to fin and side to side. For fishy love has now begun, fishy love, finny fun. Paper moon, paper heart, pink balloon, work of art. Al Capone, Bugs Moran, Valentine's Day. Bootleg gin, porkpie hat, dew Drop Inn, dirty rat, through the heart Cupid's dart, Valentine's Day. Oh, day to repay the one that you love, Gentlemen, take off your hats as I speak thereof. Just a brief break from the push and the shove, we may go a few rounds without boxing gloves. Land your punch, I stand my ground, we break for lunch and a second round. We set them up, we knock them down, Valentine's Day. Me and you, you and him, him and her, us and them, we keep score love as war, Valentine's Day. I lost my teeth, I lost my hair, I lost my mind, you don't care. Love is war, all is fair on Valentine's Day. |

So much for your moment of prayer
God's not at home There is no there there Lost in the stars That's what you are Left here on your own You can only hope to live on this earth This here is it, for all it's worth Nothing else awaits you No second birth No starry crown For an un-believer like you There's not much they can do It would turn you away Though I hate to see you surrender You need to surrender We must find you a way to CHORUS: Look up from your life Up from your life Look on up from your life Look up from your life There's a river running under your feet Under this house Under this street Straight from the heart Ancient and sweet On its way back home Even in the middle of your sadness The everyday madness The ongoing game Even when you can't find a reason Still there is a reason You don't need to name it Look on up Look up from your life Only for a minute To find yourself in it To wait by the stream To drop out of your dream Look on up Look up from your life |

We were walking in paradise
Never did notice Blind in the Buddha land Looking for solace We had been told of a place Far beyond this vale of tears We could never have guessed We were already blessed There we were, where we are In the garden Didn't we climb on up er mei Temple to temple Yes and all and all along the way The day was simple Didn't we reach the top Didn't we gain our goal Did we finally stop Surprised by the cold We were walking in paradise Never did tumble Blind in the Buddha land Looking for trouble We had been told of a place Far beyond this vale of tears We could never have guessed We were already blessed There we were, where we are In the garden |

Damn this traffic jam How I hate to be late It hurts my motor to go so slow Damn this traffic jam Time I get home my supper'll be cold Damn this traffic jam Well I left my job about 5 o'clock It took fifteen minutes go three blocks Just in time to stand in line With a freeway looking like a parking lot - Chorus - Now I almost had a heart attack Looking in my rear view mirror I saw myself the next car back Looking in the rear view mirror 'Bout to have a heart attack I said - Chorus - Now when I die I don't want no coffin I thought about it all too often Just strap me in behind the wheel And bury me with my automobile - Chorus - Damn...

Listen to me and I'll sing you a song and the time will go by till you never know where it's gone. Talk to me and I'll tell you my life story. Walk with me and I'll tell you my dreams of glory. There we are walking hand in hand, somewhere on the sand at the end of the land and the edge of the shining sea. Drifting through time and space on the face of a little blue ball falling around the sun. One in a million, billion twinkling lights shining out for no one in the middle of the night. Here we are, sparks in the darkness, speaking of our love burning down forever and forever. Oh, I don't know if I told you, but you hold my heart in your hand. And I found out something about you, baby, without you. I'm a lonely man. So though I never say that I love you, I love you, darling I do, Carly, I do love you. And though we are as nothing to the stars that shine above, you are my universe, you are my love. Here we are, like children forever, taking care of one another while the world goes on without us, all around us. |

The water is wide, I can't cross over, and neither have I wings to fly. Build me a boat that can carry two and both shall row, my love and I. There is a ship and she sails the sea. She's loaded deep, as deep can be. But not so deep as the love I'm in, I know not how I sink or swim. Oh love is handsome and love is fine, the sweetest flower when first it's new. But love grows old and waxes cold and fades away like Summer dew. Build me a boat that can carry two and both shall row, my love and I, And both shall row, my love and I. |

Left my home in Norfolk, Virginia, California on my mind. Straddled that Greyhound and rode it into Raleigh and on across Caroline. We stopped in Charlotte but we bypassed Rockhill, we never was a minute late. We were ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown rolling out of Georgia state. Had some motor trouble that turned into a struggle half way across Alabam. That hound broke and left us all stranded in downtown Birmingham. So right away I bought me a through train ticket right across Mississippi clean, And I was on that Special Flyer out of Birmingham smoking into New Orleans. Someone's got to help me get out of Louisiana, just to help me get to Houston town. There's an uncle there who cares a little about me and he won't let the poor boy down. Sure as you're born, he bought me a silk suit, put some luggage in my hand. And I woke up high over Albuquerque on a jet to the Promised Land. Working on a T-Bone steak, a la carte, flying over to the Golden State. When the pilot told us that in thirteen minutes he would have us at the terminal gate. Swing down chariot, come down easy, taxi to the terminal dome. Cut your engines and cool your wings and let me make it to the telephone. Los Angeles give me Norfolk, Virginia, tidewater four-ten-O-nine. Tell the folks back home this is the Promised Land calling, and the poor boy is on the line. |

Walk down that lonesome road all by yourself Don't turn your head back over your shoulder And only stop to rest yourself when the silver moon Is shining high above the trees If I had stopped to listen once or twice If I had closed my mouth and opened my eyes If I had cooled my head and warmed my heart I'd not be on this road tonight Carry on Never mind feeling sorry for yourself It doesn't save you from your troubled mind Walk down that lonesome road all by yourself Don't turn your head back over your shoulder And only stop to rest yourself when the silver moon Is shining high above the trees |

Oh, end this day, show me the ocean. When shall I see the sea? May this day set me in emotion, I ought to be on my way. We were there, we were sailing on the Terra Nova. Sailing for the setting sun, sailing for the new horizon. May this day show me an ocean, I ought to be on my way. Ought to be on my way right now. Stepping on the boat with a lump in my throat, on my way right now. I got a letter from a dear friend of mine, the story of a spiritual awakening. She spoke of her love returning in kind, she let me know that she'd be waiting. And I should be on my way by now. Walking across the floor, reaching for the door, on my way by now. But here I sit, country fool that I am, my elbow on my knee and my chin in my hand. My mind in the gutter and my eye on the street, holed up in a cave of concrete. And I ought to be on my way right now. Packing my things while the telephone rings, on my way right now. I miss my lovely mother and I love my lonely father. I know I owe my brothers one thing and another, I hear my sister singing. And I ought to be on my way right now. Moving across the land with my heart in my hand, on my way by now, ought to be on my way by now. Oh, end this day, set me in motion. Ought to be on my way. Out of the west of Lambert's Cove, there's a sail out in the sun. And I'm on board though very small, I've come home to stop yearning. Burn off the haze around the shore, turn off the crazy way I feel. I'll stay away from you no more, I've come home to stop yearning. |

from James Taylor - Never Die Young (1988)
Me and T-Bone on the road to town, it's like I'm walking with a talking machine. Just as soon as he thinks of something else, he won't wait to interrupt himself. Must be something that he can't quite say, he just doesn't want to leave it that way. Although he may not know it yet, unless I miss my bet, he's just trying to forget what his heart remembers. I see that T-Bone got an automobile, low-loping and open to the sky. All night behind the hurricane wheel, riding in the eye. All day underneath the hood, Mondo Bondo, plastic, wood. He needs a mile of masking tape if he wants to keep his ship in shape, someday to escape what his heart remembers, yes, what his heart remembers. T-Bone's not alone, not alone, looks like he gets a second chance. It's Mamarama and Lumalamalu want to take him to recovery dance. He's looking like he gets his meat suit back, I guess he must have missed the crack attack. Still he's riding for a fall 'cause it's written upon the wall, that now he must recall what his heart remembers, what his heart remembers. |

Oh Lord I feel fine today, I'm walking on cloud nine today. I'm over that line today, happiness is finally mine today. I guess I'm just a lucky guy and I'm prepared to tell you why. It's strictly on account of my Sweet Potato Pie. I'm the fellow that she loves the most, the main reason why she left the coast. She's my little girlzina, that much hotter that a jalapeno. Tender like a night in June, sweeter than a honeymoon, brighter than a silver spoon, just as crazy as a loon. Softer than a lullaby, deeper than the midnight sky, soulful as a baby's cry, my Sweet Potato Pie. I used to see her around the neighborhood, I wonder how she grew up so good. She belonged to Freddy and he was bad and I never was ready to make him mad. I'm glad I had to wait awhile, a little bit too juvenile. I needed to refine my style, a silk suit and a crocodile smile. So let the whole damn world go by cause I just want to testify from now on it's me and my Sweet Potato Pie. |

There is a young cowboy he lives on the range His horse and his cattle are his only companions He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons Waiting for Summer, his pastures to change And as the moon rises he sits by his fire Thinking about women and glasses of beer And closing his eyes as the doggies retire He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear As if maybe someone could hear (Chorus) Goodnight you moonlight ladies Rockabye sweet baby James Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose Won't you let me go down in my dreams And rockabye sweet baby James Now the first of December was covered with snow And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston Lord, the Berkshires seemed dream-like on account of that frosting With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway A song that they sing when they take to the sea A song that they sing of their home in the sky Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep But singing works just fine for me - Chorus - |

Sounds of laughter here comes Sunshine
Smiling faces all around They possess you bless you Sunshine Now you can never let them down I say Sunshine Sunshine, Sunshine Is that a cloud across your smile or did you dream again last night It's best you rest inside a while as blue doesn't seem to suit you right Things ain't what they used to be pain and rain and misery Illness in the family and Sunshine means a lot to me I say Sunshine But could it be Sunshine is drifting with midnight And lonely when everyone's gone Blue crystal spirits and gardens in moonlight Leave weak alone and bleak all quiet and grey by dawn Sunshine Sunshine Rising to late to chase the cold and failing to change the frost to dew She's trading her mood of yellow gold for frost bitten shades of silver blue Friends and lovers past and gone and no-one waiting further on I'm running short of things to be and Sunshine means quiet a lot to me I say Sunshine... Sunshine. |
