Breakfast In Bed
02:58
|
|

At the crack of dawn your eyes are heavy as lead
And the morning calls you cant get up out of bed
Oh why oh why can’t I be dreamin’ instead
I could stay for hours even days on end
I’d dream of breakfast in bed
And just like that it’ll wake up my sleepy head
A lovely breakfast in bed
Under blankets feelin cozy again
Would you leave me be now there’s a lot going on
My minds been dancin’ round for way too long
Oh if I’m happy here then how is it wrong
Would you be so kind and play my favorite song
I’d dream of breakfast in bed
And just like that it’ll wake up my sleepy head
A lovely breakfast in bed
Under blankets feelin’ cozy again
I’d dream of breakfast in bed
Before I know it, I’ll be wakin’ up my sleepy head
A lovely breakfast in bed
Under blankets feelin’ cozy again

I’ll take you to the ballroom, We’ll dance until we fly
I’ll get you home by midnight, And kiss the moon goodbye
And when the evenings over, I bet you’ll wanna spend more time
With this Fuddy Duddy heart of mine
Fuddy Duddy heart of mine
Just like were sippin’ on that olden day wine
We’ll have a fuddy duddy heck of a time
With this fuddy duddy heart of mine
It’s not that I’m opposed, To modern day style
But I just fit right in, To my old Granny’s time
So honey let’s go back, And stay here for a while
And walk a fuddy duddy couple o’ miles
Fuddy Duddy heart of mine
Just like were sippin’ on that olden day wine
We’ll have a fuddy duddy heck of a time
With this fuddy duddy heart of mine
My mama told me baby
You’ll grow up one fine lady
If you follow all the ways
Now in my heels and dresses
Those looks are quite impressive
Now I’ve really gotta say... hey
Fuddy Duddy heart of mine
Just like were sippin on that olden day wine
We’ll have a fuddy duddy heck of a time
With this fuddy duddy heart of mine
Fuddy Duddy heart of mine
Just like were sippin on that olden day wine
We’ll have a fuddy duddy heck of a time
With this fuddy duddy heart of mine

Wishing Well
03:39
|
|

I heard a fairytale
Bout’ a man who lived in a wishin well
He’d float there day to day
A genie in a bottle in a different way
He made his livin there
Catchin dreams and calming fears
In the night he’d lie awake
His only dream to drift away
Wish I may, and wish I might
Be that star, shine that bright
Oh if I could, you know I would
Take my chance bad or good
Sunrise never took its time
to calm his soul, and ease his mind
A thousand dreams from years gone by
If he can’t keep up this well will run dry
All the long days living there
Catchin dreams and calmin fears
Then a thought came through the night
Like a bird and a feather he’d take his flight
Wish I may, and wish I might
Be that star, shine that bright
Oh if I could, you know I would
Take my chance bad or good
Summer rain, and the waters came
Floated him up up so high and out of sight
And where he’d gone, heaven only knows
But there was one more star in the sky shining much more bright
Wish I may, and wish I might
Be that star, shine that bright
Oh if I could, you know I would
Take my chance bad or good
Wish I may, and wish I might
Be that star, shine that bright
Oh if I could, you know I would
Take my chance bad or good

Do It while you can they tell me
What on Earth are you waitin for
In a world so full of wonder
You’re never leaving the door
Don’t you wanna feel the magic
Spend a night out on the shore
Heaven knows I’ve been busy lately
No time to explore
What are you waiting for
You’ve got the world outside your door
What are you waiting for
Get on you’re feet there’s so much more
Outside we got a fire burnin
Singin on till the risin sun
Bringin back those golden memories
Re-playin every one
Now the tide and moon are climbin
Another day sure come and gone
No we can’t stop the clock from tickin
But our minds still run
What are you waiting for
You’ve got the world outside your door
What are you waiting for
Get on you’re feet there’s so much more
Heaven knows I’ve been busy lately
Tyin' knots I’d left undone
There’s a weight up on my shoulder
Feels like a tonne
Got no time for second guessing
No use in lookin back
Well you know its now or never
Gonna make it last
What are you waiting for
You’ve got the world outside your door
What are you waiting for
Get on you’re feet there’s so much more
What are you waiting for
You’ve got the world outside your door
What are you waiting for
Get on you’re feet there’s so much more
Out on the street there’s so much more

Boy Oh Boy

Boy oh boy I , must admit I’m
Fallin down down down,
Any deeper, both my feet would never find their way back to the ground
She made her way around
The neighbourhoods of town,
And all the stops and turns along the way
And like a ferris wheel
Around and round until
Her goldilocks in knots and lead astray
All the diamonds and all the pearls
Would never stop this gem of a girl
Soon as the clock struck noon she was back on the road
And you could hear her say
Boy oh boy I , must admit I’m
Fallin down down down,
Any deeper, both my feet would never find their way back to the ground
All the lessons learned
And all the pages turned
Were not enough to keep her mind at bay
Before the crack of dawn
He came and she was gone
Without a trace but kept a record on
(da da da’s)
Listen once and you’ll hear it again
It goes around and and comes around the same
Fallin behind, kept her head in the game
She knew it now, the beauty remains
Boy oh boy I , must admit I’m
Fallin down down down,
Any deeper, both my feet would never find their way back to the ground

Old Friend
02:44

|

Down here holdin my heart, what more can I do
It’s not fair, I’m back at the start, prayin' for someone new
And as I turned round the bend
I ran right in to an old old friend
So long, so many moons, since I last saw you
Oh how could we wander apart, lookin’ for someone new
You held me close round the bend
Who would’ve thought I could dance with an old old friend
All night, we talked until two, It never felt so right
You pulled me out of the blue, and then we danced in the light
You held me close round the bend
Who would’ve thought I could dance like that with such an old friend

Dancin'
03:03

Well the sky looks clearer than ever
The rain wont be cryin’ no tear
What do you say, we’d better go dancin’
Before the light from the moon disappears
You’re all that I pictured in this dream
I’ll make you a promise, a guarantee
I’ll be with you, no fussin’ bout what anyone might say
I got you’re back and I know you know that like night’ll turn into day
And April turns into May
Why don’t you meet me over the valley,
High enough to dance in the clouds
Where the weather’s nice and balmy,
Enough to make you put your arms around me , oh-
If only you pictured what I see
The brightest blue, you make my knees go weak
I'll be with you, no fussin’ bout what anyone might say,
I got your back and I hope you know that like night’ll turn into day
And April will soon turn May
I'll be with you, no fussin’ bout what anyone might say,
I got your back and I know you know that like night’ll turn into day
And April will soon turn May
Say the sky looks bluer than ever,
Not a single cloud around
Take my hand,
we’re off to go dancin’
mmmmmmm’

Dear Gussy

All the times I, had the kettle ready
Just in time for you to walk right over
All my lovin, all my kiss and huggin,
Well my baby there’s no more in store
I was wrapped around your finger
For so long, oh so long and
Now I’m never comin over
Here, again my dear
Oh dear Gussy left your clothes on the line
You left your heart outside in the rain
Oh dear Gussy now you’re standin there
You forgot me here again
What you say now, well I won’t believe ya,
Talk is cheaper than these worn out shoes
Now I’m free and, on the road to someone
Who’d never forget about me
I was wrapped around your finger
For so long, oh so long and
Now I’m never comin over
Here, again my dear
Oh dear Gussy left your clothes on the line
You left your heart outside in the rain
Oh dear Gussy now you’re standin there
You forgot me here again

Valentine
03:16

He was my first Valentine
It was our first bottle of wine
The red of the roses and violets in the blue
and all of my heart belongin' to you
It’s harder to tell you in words that don’t rhyme
Im head over heels but I walk a straight line
The bee to my honey and the apple of my eye
And all of my heart with this guy
Oh what a feelin, I couldn’t believe what I’m seein
When all of the stars fell and closed your eyes
Thought I was dreamin , Could I be dreaming
Watching you fly like you always believed...
I wish I could tell him, oh if I could hold him
even for one last Valentine’s day
Soft as an echo, hidden in silence,
He’s there, and he’s staying a while
He was my only Valentine
Now and forever, through the binds of time
And the red in the roses, and violets in the blue
All of my heart belonging to you
The red of the roses, and violets in the blue,
And all of my heart belonging to you.

Tea For Three
02:58
|
|
||

Alone in a corner with a guy I’m not adorin'
An hours worth pot of tea
You know it’s not easy while his minds on me completely
I’m dreamin’ here in lala land
And if you don’t mind I’d rather have tea for three
How do I tell him, it wasn’t my intention
To make believe that we would be (We would never be)
Walkin’ together, always and forever
Now I’m stranded here in misery
Now If you don’t mind I’d rather have tea for three
You don’t wanna hear it, but the heart of us just don’t fit
Can we let it be
Some other story, as friends the two of us would have a ball
I know you’ll see
And then you might find you’d rather have tea for three
Three is company
The more of us the merrier we’ll be
So please don’t frown
I’d like to hang with you in this town
And we could have tea for three...
Chorus repeat to end
And if you don’t mind I’d rather have tea for three
If you don’t mind I’d rather have tea for three
Well you don’t mind I’d rather have tea for three
If you don’t mind I’d rather have tea for three

By The Window

He ran to the woods when he heard her say
It’s hard but I swear I’ll be back again
You know very well that my heart will stay
Beatin’ here for you along the way
He sat and waved at the window
And shut the door as the wind blew
Before they knew it, a year ran by
But just around the bend of time
A dream in the prairies took flight at last
Glided along through the years that passed
She knew by the weather he’d soon be back
You'd never see him run like that
And patience only grew stronger, (you know I'm comin home)
While minutes turned by the hour (another minute till I’m yours)
Before they knew it they’d be side by side
Their love would stand the test of time
They sat and smiled by the window
And watched the world as the wind blew
Before they knew it, time stood still
Forever their souls fulfilled

Bathtub Gin

Oh wont you,
Come by my side I would like to know you
You’re like the boy in my dreams
How we'd go dancin' and we would go laughin'
Holdin' my hand down the street
And when the moons out we whisper
But no one is near
And when it pours we would run through the storm
I tell ya boy you’re a hoot
Come on ‘tootle oot toot toot ‘
Sippin' our bathtub gin
Kick off our shoes and go runnin barefoot
Singin' a bright melody
Oh how you thrill me and
How you fulfill me
Down to the depths of the sea
Oh how i long for the moment
Your hand brushes mine
You really look like a sweet kind of guy
We could look up at the blue
Singin' tootle oot toot toot ‘
Sippin' our bathtub gin
And just then your wild olive eyes
linger for a while
oh now my cheeks a crimson red...
gee its time for bed!
Sharin' our hearts under fields of lillies
boy you’re as sweet as a pea
go on and say it you love me we'll make it
and start a family tree
We're goin' da da da da da da
be do be da da da da da da
I am so glad that i had such a dream come to be
you’re now the boy next to me

Never Judge
03:18
|
|

|
Here’s a story but I’d better not tell
Its all make believe and fairytales
But if you would open up, I’d read it so well
Baby baby don’t you know why
You never judge a man by his cover
Or how he was brought up by his mother
I’ll tell you once I’ll say it again and again
Never judge a man by his cover
Never judge a man by his mane
I met Donny in the firin’ lane
Tosstled hair you know it just wasn’t tamed
But there’s something glowin' there, my heart was inflamed
Baby baby cant you see why
what you say
what you do
my darlin comes around
maybe the same way
maybe the same way
When I woke up I was feelin ashamed
He didn’t see me/notice but he acted the same
Then I looked into his eyes and loved him again
Baby baby now you know why
you look inside and you
never judge a man by his cover,
never judge a man by his mane
Never judge a man by his cover
never judge that man again
