Lol thought it might be a hard one Koko, but you did well!!  He was standing by the highway With a sign that just said Mother When he heard a driver coming About a half a mile away So he held the sign up higher Where no decent soul could miss it It was ten degrees or colder Down by Boulder Dam that day He was raised up in Milwaukee Though he never was that famous He was just a road musician To the taverns he would go Singing songs about the ramblin' The lovin' girls and gamblin' How the world fell on his shoulders Back in Boulder I don't know [Chorus:] And she told him she would take him For a ride in the morning sun Back in Boulder he had told her I don't know when, I've had a better friend It was out in Arizona That he heard the lady listening To each word that he was saying To each line that he would write So he sat down at her table And they talked about the weather 98.6 and rising down by Boulder Dam that night [Chorus] Now he's traded off his Martin Though his troubles aren't all over His feet are almost frozen and the sun is sinking low Won't you listen to me Brother, if you ever loved your Mother Please pull off on the shoulder, if you're goin' Milwaukee way It's ten degrees and getting colder down by Boulder Dam today |

now its me and the local preacher
standing in the graveyard grass
staring down at the highway
watching those big boys pass
well he laid his hand upon me
and he prayed for quite some time
but I could barely understand the words he said
behind that highways whine
then he handed me a faded photograph
he said he found it in my mamas hand
he said, "son I'm afraid that you and this picture
were the best your Mama ever had"
well I looked down at that picture it was mama and some guy
standing in front of a semi truck
"Just Married Painted On the side"

Oh! we aint got a barrel of money
Maybe were ragged and funny
But well travel along
Singing a song
Side by side
I dont know whats a-comin tomorrow
Maybe its trouble and sorrow
But well travel the road
Sharing our load
Side by side
Thru all kinds of weather
What if the sky should fall
Just as long as were together
It really doesnt matter at all
When theyve all had their quarrels and parted
Well be the same as we started
Just traveling along
Singing a song
Side by side

When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I'm on your side. when times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
When you're down and out,
When you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part.
When darkness comes
And pains is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If I made you feel second best
Girl I'm so sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfied, satisfied
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
................ more "minds" so I cut it off at "time" ;D

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

So spread your tiny wings and fly away and take the snow back with you where you came from on that day, the one I love forever is untrue and if I could I know that I would fly away with you.

(Another cute song even if it is about a rat  Ben, the two of us need look no more We both found what we were looking for With a friend to call my own I'll never be alone And you, my friend, will see You've got a friend in me (you've got a friend in me) Ben, you're always running here and there You feel you're not wanted anywhere If you ever look behind And don't like what you find There's one thing you should know You've got a place to go (you've got a place to go) I used to say "I" and "me" Now it's "us", now it's "we" I used to say "I" and "me" Now it's "us", now it's "we" Ben, most people would turn you away I don't listen to a word they say They don't see you as I do I wish they would try to I'm sure they'd think again If they had a friend like Ben (a friend) Like Ben (like Ben) Like Ben |

I like it, I like it
I like the way you run your fingers through my hair
And I like the way you tickle my chin
And I like the way you let me come in
When your mama ain't there
I like it, I like it
I like the words you say and all the things you do
And I like the way you straighten my tie
And I like the way you're winkin' your eye
And I know I like you
You know I like you
Do that again
You're driving me insane
Kiss me once more
That's another thing I like you for
I like it, I like it
I like the funny feeling being here with you
And I like it more with every day
And I like it always hearing you say
You're likin' it too
You're likin' it too
I'm askin' you
What do you wanna do
Do you agree
That the world was made for you and me
I like it, I like it
I like the funny feeling being here with you
And I like it more with every day
And I like it always hearing you say
You're likin' it too
You're likin' it too
Whoa-oh, I like it
Are you likin' it too

Bit of Hollies might be a repeat
She wakes up early every morning
She get up long before the sunshine
Greets the milkman who's still yawning
And reads the paper for a short time
Calls the kids "Get out of bed"
They never hear a word she says
Husband stands to leave the table
She says "I hope you have a good day"
He thinks "One day soon as I'm able
I'll get a job where I get good pay."
They find it hard to make ends meet
But they don't mention it because they have each other
An love is free while they're supposed to be ...
Too young to be married
Too young to be free
Too young to be married
But what could they do, they were going to have a baby
After the kids have had their breakfast
Now they're off to get some schooling
She cleans the house and makes the beds
She starts to dreams but knows she's fooling
She swears one day she'll stay in bed
But for now she knows she's got to keep on working
'Cos round and round inside her head
She hears the words her mother said ...
Too young to be married
Too young to be free
Too young to be married
But what could they do?

Do you believe in love after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really dont think youre strong enough, no

He's a real nowhere man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.
Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere Man please listen,
You don't know what you're missing,
Nowhere Man,the world is at your command!
He's as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?
Nowhere Man, don't worry,
Take your time, don't hurry,
Leave it all till somebody else
lends you a hand!
Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day
And stopped there for a moment just to watch the children play
Alone a boy was standing and when I asked him why
He turned with eyes that could not see and he began to cry
I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child
I'm like a flower just growing wild
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile
Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child
People come for children and take them for their own
But they all seem to pass me by and I am left alone
I know they'd like to take me but when they see I'm blind
They always take some other child and I am left behind
No mother's arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry
Sometimes it gets so lonely here I wish that I could die
I'd walk the streets of heaven where all the blind can see
And just like all the other kids there'd be a home for me
I just can't seem to figure out
Why the folks all pass me by
Cause I know that it's true that god takes
Little blind children with him in the sky
And they tell me that I'm oh so pretty
And they seem to like my big curls of gold
But then they take some other little child
And I'm left here all alone

On the bank of the river stood Running Bear, young Indian brave
On the other side of the river stood his lovely Indian maid
Little White Dove was her name, such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each other, so their love could never be
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die

And when I die, and when I'm gone,
There'll be one child born
In this world to carry on,
to carry on.
I'm not scared of dying,
And I don't really care.
If it's peace you find in dying,
Well then let the time be near.
If it's peace you find in dying,
And if dying time is here,
Just bundle up my coffin
'Cause it's cold way down there.
I hear that its cold way down their.
Yeah, crazy cold way down there.

Wherever you go
Wherever you may wander in your life
Surely you know
I always wanna be there
Holding you hand
And standing by to catch you when you fall
Seeing you through
In everything you do
Let me be there in your morning
Let me be there in you night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you through that wonderland
That only two can share
All I ask you is let me be there
Watching you grow
And going through the changes in your life
That's how I know
I always wanna be there
Whenever you feel you need a friend to lean on, here I am
Whenever you call, you know I'll be there
Let me be there in your morning
Let me be there in you night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you through that wonderland
That only two can share
All I ask you is let me be there

You put your right foot in,
You put your right foot out;
You put your right foot in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey-Pokey,
And you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!

what's it all about alfie
is it just for the moment we live
what's it all about
when you sort it out, alfie
are we meant to take more than we give
or are we meant to be kind?
and if, if only fools are kind, alfie
then I guess it is wise to be cruel
and if life belongs only to the strong, alfie
what will you lend on an old golden rule?
as sure as I believe there's a heaven above
alfie, I know there's something much more
something even non-believers can believe in

In a little cafe just the other side of the border
She was just sitting there givin' me looks that made my mouth water
So I started walking her way
She belonged to bad man, Jose
And I knew, yes I knew I should leave
When I heard her say, yeah
Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer
I'm all alone
And the night is so long
So we started to dance
In my arms, she felt so inviting
That I just couldn't resist
Just one little kiss so exciting
Then I heard the guitar player say
"Vamoose, Jose's on his way"
Then I knew, yes I knew I should run
But then I heard her say, yeah
Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer
I'm all alone
And the night is so long
Then the music stopped
When I looked the cafe was empty
Then I heard Jose say
"Man you know you're in trouble plenty"
So I dropped my drink from my hand
And through the window I ran
And as I rode away
I could hear her say to Jose, yeah
Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer
I'm all alone
And the night is so long

Not sure if we've had this Carpenters one?
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
On the day that you were born
and the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust
in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
On the day that you were born
and the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust
in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
