That's when the music takes me
Takes me to a brighter day
That's when the music takes me
Helping me to find my way
When the day is so long that I can't hold on
When I'm down and I think my hope is gone
Oooh, yeah
That's when the music takes me
Closer to a brighter day
I can feel my soul exploding
There's a good feeling
Helping me to find my waaay
My, my, my way
When the bluebird sings her sad, sad song
And the wind brings a cold to tag along
Oh, yeah
I can feel the spirit move me
I can almost touch the sky
Reaching for a new tomorrow
I know it's hard
But music makes me wanna try
Wanna try
And then
That's when the music takes me
Takes me to a brighter day, yeah, yeah
That's when the music takes me
Helping me to find my way
(That's when the music takes me)
(That's when the music takes me) oh, yeah
That's when the music takes me
Closer to a brighter day
I can feel my soul exploding
There's a good feeling
Helping me to find my way
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And then I'm saying
That's when the music takes me
Takes me to a brighter day
Yeah, yeah, yeah
That's when the music takes me
Helping me to find my way
Happy, happy, happy day
Happy, happy, happy day
Happy, happy, happy day, woo
(That's when the music takes me)
(That's when the music takes me)
(That's when the music takes me)
And that's when the music takes me
Happy, happy when the music takes
Woo

Beautiful You
03:38
|
|||
You got an answer
Girl, I could really use it
Chip on my shoulder
You know I could stand to lose it
Don't let us waste no time, no
A good thing is hard to find, oh
And you know exactly what's on my mind
Ooh, la, la, you're such a turn-me-on lately
Ooh, la, la, you're such a beautiful you
My, my, my, my, you're such a funky young lady
Ooh, la, la, you're such a beautiful you
Nobody warned me
That someone so young, so sweetly
Could do how you do me
More than I could be done so deeply
You got what you got and you know it
I can tell by the way you show it
This is or chance, honey, let's not blow it
Ooh, la, la, you're such a turn-me-on lately
Ooh, la, la, you're such a beautiful you
My, my, my, my, you're such a funky young lady
Ooh, la, la, you're such a beautiful you
You got what you got and you know it
I can tell by the way you show it
This is or chance, honey, let's not blow it
Oh, no
Ooh, la, la, you're such a turn-me-on lately
Ooh, la, la, you're such a beautiful you
Ooh, la, la, You're such a, such a, such a beautiful you
Yes, you are now
(Ooh, la, la,) you're such, such a, such a funky young
Ah, you're such a, such a, such a, beautiful
Yes, you are
You're a beautiful you
You're such a, such a, such a, such a, such a, such a beautiful
You're such a, such a, such a, such a funky young
Ooo, yeah, such a beautiful you

Express Yourself
03:25
|
|||
Have you cried, and had more than your share of lonely times
When your mind got so lost and confused that you tried to hide it away
And you woke up one day and finally found
That all your worldly troubles could never hold you down
Don't be afraid, express yourself
Speak up and say what's on your mind
Come on my love and you will find
You're part of the world, express yourself
Baby, baby don't worry if you're right or if you're wrong
You know that it's fun just having you along
Have you heard the freedom song in a mornin' sky
Did you try to capture it all, could you find the words that could say
What you feel when you're feelin' so good
When all your worldly troubles begin to fade away
Don't be afraid, express yourself
Speak up and say what's on your mind
Come on my love and you will find
You're part of the world, express yourself
Baby, baby don't worry if you're right or if you're wrong
It's a good thing, express yourself
Such a good thing, express yourself
Express yourself, la la la la la la la la la la, ooh
Baby, baby don't worry if you're right or if you're wrong
It's a good thing, such a good thing
Express yourself, la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la...

As if you think that you could run away and I would never find you
You take the covers and you pull them past your eyes so they can't blind you
You can run across a meadow
Sail upon the deep blue sea
Don't you know that I would travel
Anywhere you're gonna be
Don't try to hide away 'cause I'll be anywhere you're gonna be
Hide in the sky away and I'll be anywhere you're gonna be
When you're down and feelin' lonely, so lonely
You can always count on me
Don't you know that I'll come runnin'
Anywhere you're gonna be
Rest yourself upon my pillow
Hold my hand and say my name
I will always stay beside you
It'll always be the same
Don't try to hide away 'cause I'll be anywhere you're gonna be
Hide in the sky away and I'll be anywhere you're gonna be
I'll be anywhere you're gonna be

Sunny mornin' lift your wings for me
Weary world come and don your dancin' shoes
Old kaleidoscopic fantasy, full of mountain greens and baby blues
Take me up and ease my restless mind
Rollin' river she plays her travellin' song
Tell my worried friends that I'll be fine
Give them all my best, I'm goin' home
Home, the beautiful breezes that tease the air
Home, I feel so peaceful there
Home, just me and the family without a care
Dear Lord, so glad I'm goin' home
Sunny mornin' lift your wings for me
Weary world come and don t your dancin' shoes
Old kaleidoscopic fantasy, full of mountain greens and baby blues
Take me up and ease my restless mind
Rollin' river she plays her travellin' song
Tell my worried friends that I'll be fine
Give them all my best, I'm goin' home
Home, the beautiful breezes that tease the air
Home, I feel so peaceful there
Home, just me and the family without a care
Dear Lord, so glad I'm goin' home
Dear Lord, so glad I'm goin' home
Dear Lord, so glad I'm goin' home

Well I made me an airplane
Intendin' to fly
My close friends warned me that it was useless to try
They said, it's so heavy
It'll never get off the ground
Believe it you'll wind up in pieces
When you finally come down
Well I just tipped my hat and I flew all around the world
Just me and my airplane
Well I made me a submarine
And I went for a sail
My close friends warned me that I was doomed to fail
They said, it's so heavy
It's gonna sink right on down
Believe it you'll wind up in pieces
If ya don't come around
Well I just gave them a wink and I sailed all around the world
Just me and my submarine
Then I found me a woman
Just as fine as can be
My close friends warned me she was bad company
They whispered, it's so heavy
It'll never get off the ground
Believe it they'll wind up in pieces
When it finally cools down
Well we just gave them a smile and we took of around the world
Just me and my woman
And that's the adventures of a boy child wonder

Better Days Are Coming
03:03
|
|||
Moving, moving down the line
Comes a train of sorrow
Crossing on your heart and mine
Where it stops awhile
You can buy your ticket now
For a sad tomorrow
It's a long way down the line
Till you find your way
Hold on and we can make it together
Sunshine is gonna clear up the weather
Better days are coming, (better days are coming, better days are coming) better days are coming
As we drift from day to day
Someone's there to watch us
You can ease your tired soul
If you raise your head
Riding over rocky ground
Makes you kinda wonder
If you're gonna make it last
Through another day
Hold on and we can make it together
Sunshine is gonna clear up the weather
Better days are coming, (better days are coming, better days are coming) better days are coming
Time for a celebration
There'll be a new tomorrow
Time for a jubilation
Jump off the train of sorrow
There'll be a brighter morning
If you can tell this story
Ride on the train of glory
Not on the train of sorrow
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Hold on and we can make it together
Sunshine is gonna clear up the weather
Better days are coming, (better days are coming, better days are coming) better days are coming
Better days are coming, better days are coming
Time for a celebration
There'll be a new tomorrow
Time for a jubilation
Jump off the train of sorrow
There'll be a brighter morning
If you can tell this story
Ride on the train of glory
Not on the train of sorrow
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Dimbo Man
03:54
|
|||
Dimbo was a scallywag
Lived inside a doggy-bag
Just the other side of Tucson
Mary was his honey bun
Did the same for everyone
Dimbo always turned her juice on
Oh Louanna, let me be your Dimbo Dimbo man
Oh Louanna, give it here and I'll do all I can
Dimbo rode a barber pole
Mary took a jelly roll
How she said she needed trimmin'
Dimbo took his scissor out
Mary never had a doubt
Dimbo always left her swimmin'
I'm sayin', oh Louanna, let me be your dimbo Dimbo man
Oh Louanna, give it here and I'll do all I can
Dimbo popped a coconut
Mary felt it in her gut
Said it felt just like a genie
Dimbo said to Mary, look
We're a true adventure book
Captain Love meets Doctor Meanie
I'm sayin', oh Louanna, let me be your Dimbo Dimbo man
Oh Louanna, give it here and I'll do all I can
Oh Louanna, let me be your Dimbo Dimbo man
Oh Louanna, give it here and I'll do all I can

Trying To Say Goodbye
03:24
|
|||
Many's the time I've been moved or inclined
To write maybe a song about love
Takin' the words as they come to my mind
And I send them along with my love
Just me and a melody
Sailing peacefully along
All was right with the world and me
Until love went wrong
Just yesterday I heard somebody say I'd forget you
If I could, but I can't, so I won't even try
If I had my way I'd forget you today in a minute
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye
Casually dressed, I'm surviving I guess
I guess only the time will tell
It don't really matter much where I go next
Just as long as it turns out well
Slow feet on a movin' street
And the folks I meet all know
I ain't half as happy
As I was a week ago
Just yesterday I heard somebody say I'd forget you
If I could, but I can't, so I won't even try
If I had my way I'd forget you today in a minute
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye, oh yeah
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye, allright
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye

Solitaire
05:05
|

There was a man
A lonely man
Who lost his love
Through his indifference
A heart that cared
That went unshared
Until it died
Within his silence
And solitaire is the only game in town
And every road that takes him
Takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
And keeping to himself
Begins to deal
And still the king of hearts
Is well concealed
Another losing game comes to an end
And he deals them out again
A little hope
Goes up in smoke
Just how it goes
Goes without saying
There was a man
A lonely man
Who would command
The hand he's playing
And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him
Takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
And keeping to himself
Begins to deal
And still the king of hearts
Is well concealed
Another losing game comes to an end
And he deals them out again
And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him
Takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire

Once upon a lonely time, though not so long ago
You used to be a superstar, you used to steal the show
But now you must be satisfied with singin' on the street
And watch the world go passin' by, that once was at your feet
Baby don't let it mess your mind, no
Sadness ain't a feelin' that becomes you
Baby don't let it mess your mind, no
Remember life will always love you
In and out of circles all the time we seem to waste
To make our plans and find that all our plans have been erased
We've had a little money and we made a little time
And soon we'll grow forgetful of all we've left behind
Baby don't let it mess your mind, no
Sadness ain't a feelin' that becomes you
Baby don't let it mess your mind, no no no no
Remember life will always love you
Baby don't let it mess your mind, no
Sadness ain't a feelin' that becomes you
Baby don't let it mess your mind, oh no no no no no no
Remember life will always love you
