Give Me Rain Pressure to follow trends, makes me sad.. Trying to follow crowds, drives me mad Why can't I buck the trend, It's my life in the end, And I will do what I choose to do... Give me rain, I'll be happy Give me rain, I'll be glad 'Cos sunshine on my face, Takes me to a darker place Give me rain and I'll smile So many things we're told, we should like... But one voice is hard to hear, with no mic... So, now I'm now saying clear, For everyone to hear, I'm going down my own...road today... Give me rain, I'll be happy Give me rain, I'll be glad 'Cos sunshine on my face, Takes me to a darker place Give me rain and I'll smile BRIDGE Give me rain, I'll be happy Give me rain, I'll be glad 'Cos sunshine on my face, Takes me to a darker place Give me rain and I'll smile 'Cos sunshine on my face, Takes me to a darker place Give me rain... And I'll smile

When Nature Lends a Hand (Kayanek/Johnston) A little bit of privacy in a crowded world uncivilized, unblemished and unbroken Mother Nature smiles as she hears a boy and girl communicate though not a word is spoken It doesn't take words It takes the right touch to show someone you love them show them just how much There's nothing like making love by a cool mountain stream nothing like making love by the light of moonbeam sharing every feeling where the ocean meets the sand oh there's nothing quite like making love when nature lends a hand Knowing I'm a part of her and she's a part of me a harmony designed to last forever a feeling that's so natural as it was meant to be the glue that binds a man and wife together It doesn't take words It takes the right touch to show someone you love them show them just how much There's nothing like making love by a cool mountain stream nothing like making love by the light of moonbeam sharing every feeling where the ocean meets the sand oh there's nothing quite like making love when nature lends a hand Everything about the mood is right as the water sparkles in the sunlight the treetops gently sway up above nature's gentle symphony of love There's nothing like making love by a cool mountain stream nothing like making love by the light of moonbeam sharing every feeling where the ocean meets the sand oh there's nothing quite like making love when nature lends a hand

It's Really Christmas VS 1 I'm thinking of old Christmas times So many snapshots in my mind The catalogs that tantalized The carol songs we harmonized Candy canes on the tree Those are sweet memories VS 2 Before the gifts on Christmas morn We'd read aloud that Christ was born The Savior come down to our earth Amazing His holy birth I could just see that scene It was so real to me CHORUS The shepherds in their fields An angel so surreal The glory from above A baby wrapped in love That story's never old And when I hear it told I know it's really Christmas VS 3 And still today with Christmas near Those voices from the past I hear They're telling all the shepherds saw And saying angel words in awe Glorious sounds to me And they always will be CHORUS Copyright Melanie B.

FRIENDS ( A Song For Jeffie ) (music and lyrics by Dan O’Brien – (c) Aug 31, 2012) 1) In the wondrous way of nature, Splendid friendships sometimes grow Between animals of different pedigree, In the woodlands of New Scotland, You might one day come to know The strangest couple that you’ll likely ever see. 2) One friend is fairly small And weighs in at a couple pounds, She stands maybe fifteen centimeters high, The other one’s enormous, Weighing a quarter ton or more And he towers o’er the likes of you and I. Refrain They tramp around together Thru the wetlands and the bogs, That lie among the fir and alders, and the spruce, Friends of different natures Travelling on the same life path, Begins the story of the turtle and the moose. 3) A certain young biologist Who knew the turtle well, Asked for a special meeting with the moose, Now you’ll often find the three of them Together in the bogs Right among the fir and alders, and the spruce. 4) The bears who come to watch them meet Might bring along some friends, Perhaps a squirrel and skunk, or a rabbit, and a goose, The crows watch from their treetops While the conference goes on Between the human, and the turtle, and the moose. Refrain They tramp around together Thru the wetlands and the bogs, That lie among the fir and alders, and the spruce, Friends of different natures Travelling on the same life path, That’s the human, and the turtle, and the moose. 5) One day they sent an “Action Plan” Up to the government, It was titled, “Look There’s Really No Excuse!” So the Minister signed their document, Then named a brand new park, For the human, and the turtle, and the moose. Refrain They tramp around together Thru the wetlands and the bogs, That lie among the fir and alders, and the spruce, Friends of different natures Travelling on the same life path, That’s the human, and the turtle, and the moose. Ending Oh yes, the human, and the turtle, and the moose.

Beautiful Day Verse 1 Not a cloud in the sky and a soft warm summer sea breeze All the girls wear bright dresses the boys in their shirts with no sleeves The sun,s dancing over the water, sailboats are out on the sea And it all looks so dreamy it almost could be make believe Chorus It’s the most beautiful day to do nothing The most beautiful day A day to unwind leave your troubles behind and do nothing Oh Oh its a beautiful day Verse 2 There're kids building castles with bright new buckets and spades This book that I'm reading getting better with every page Putting on sun screen, soaking up rays Got my picnic and some cold beers Well it all feels so dreamy it almost like I'm not really here Chorus It’s the most beautiful day to do nothing The most beautiful day A day to unwind leave your troubles behind and do nothing Oh Oh its a beautiful day Bridge I'm feeling so good got the woman I love by my side With beach chairs, Umbrella, dark glasses were watching the world go by Chorus A day to unwind leave your troubles behind and do nothing Oh Oh its a beautiful day Its a beautiful Oh Oh its a beautiful day

Bluebird by Susy Wall Weeping willow Why do you cry Hide you face From the sky Winter is completely my And the time will Pass you by Weeping willow You hang your head Leave your dreams In your grassy bed Dusting off the shadows as the sky is turning red Watching that bluebird He’s gonna show you how to fly Every day he’s sparing Way up high V2 Weeping willow You’re holding fast Tied to one place Here to last Fee the ground Beneath you You wanna shake your roots And fly Swaying with the rhythm Of the wind I hear you sigh Still watching that bluebird Scoring way up high Weeping willow Don’t cry for me You are bound And I am free Yearning for the sunrise For a new day to start Weeping willow you’re turning grey Summer glory soon to fade She’d your leave and felt the breeze Take you far You’re gonna catch that bluebird You’re gonna show him to fly Like the wings of that bluebird You’re gonna fill the sky

Heard you say Sky looks gray If there's a reason that the clouds decide to stay The sunshine knows If there's a reason that the trees begin to sway The sunshine knows Think I'll stay Anyway If there's a way to find some shelter from the rain The sunshine knows If there's a way to find a happier today The sunshine knows Can you give me your time He said, hey man what's on your mind I said, can you fix this problem of mine He said, hey man hit the back of the line If there's a way to find some shelter from the rain The sunshine knows If there's a way to find a happier today The sunshine knows

Stronger Than I Think VS 1: Climbing up this mountain Feel so weighted down My pack is getting heavy Seems like I’m losing ground Storm clouds start to gather I hear a thunderous sound No where to take cover Came too far to turn around Chorus I’m stronger than I think When doubt washes over me I hear you say believe When I’m feeling weak You make me stronger,stronger Stronger than I think VS 2: Gotta reach the summit I refuse to stop It’s one step then another I keep looking up The rocky path is narrow Hidden by the fog With you on this journey I know I’ll make it to the top Chorus I’m stronger than I think When doubt washes over me I hear you say believe When I’m feeling weak You make me stronger, stronger Stronger than I think Bridge: The view is so much better High on this peak I’ve found my inner strength Thanks to you, look what I’ve achieved Repeat CH Written By: Cari Lynn York, Karen R Mitchell, Jennifer L Ferguson

No Star on the Tree © 2008-2021 Bart Mitchell, Shandi Shiver Christmas lights on every house Along our little street Snowflakes are falling A candle in the window seat A wreath on every window A bow on every wreath A tree beside the fireplace With presents underneath One thing is missing At the top of the tree this year Its Daddy's hand placing the star Way up there so far Chorus There's no star on the tree No star on the tree We left it in the sky So daddy won't have to cry. Daddy's in the desert With his army friends A sand storm is blowin' Sand in his eyes again But the view at night, of our star Will warm daddy's heart He'll see our christmas star Way up there so far Chorus x2 Oh Daddy please don't cry.

It’s Another Good Day Writers: Steve Peters/Scott Peters V1: I looked out my window and saw beautiful sunshine Shining so brightly I could barely open my eyes It made me think about last night’s dream Welcome to my new reality Chorus: Every time I wake up it’s a brand new day And the blue sky just keeps chasing those clouds away And I hear songbirds singing sweet melodies Flowers seem to blossom just for me And I will never ever forget to say It’s another good day V2: When I take a breath it reminds me I’m alive Like a smile from a stranger it warms me up inside Life is all about those little things That can turn the ordinary into amazing Chorus: Every time I wake up it’s a brand new day And the blue sky just keeps chasing those clouds away And I hear songbirds singing sweet melodies Flowers seem to blossom just for me And I will never ever forget to say It’s another good day (c) 2020 S.

Driving down the coast, wind catching my hair Sun feels good on my face Clear skies, troubles disappear Dropping worries in my escape I finally feel complete Open to where this road shall lead Chorus Freedom, a place to breathe Freedom, helps me believe My dreams will come to life It keeps my hope alive Freedom in each step I take Freedom makes living great I feel it, I taste it Freedom's all I need Verse 2 Sipping margaritas as the tide comes in Wishing on every star The cool sea breeze on my skin This must be where Heaven starts Don't care what time it is Life doesn't get better than this Chorus Freedom, a place to breathe Freedom, helps me believe My dreams will come to life It keeps my hope alive Freedom in each step I take Freedom makes living great I feel it, I taste it Freedom's all I need Bridge Used to be caught up in a constant chase Now I'm glad I got out of that race Chorus Freedom, a place to breathe Freedom, helps me believe My dreams will come to life It keeps my hope alive Freedom in each step I take Freedom makes living great I feel it, I taste it Freedom's all I need

Outside When spring sunshine caresses my skin And daylight lingers past evening again Songbirds sing as they rebuild their nest I feel blessed Summer heat sends me into the shade Until the sunset begins to fade When the moon and stars start to shine I feel fine, I feel fine, I feel fine Outside in the great outdoors is where I want to be Outside I feel free Autumn is the best season of all The air is crisp and the bright leaves fall As honking flocks of geese migrate I feel great During winter I play in the snow Tracks tell the tales that I want to know Coyotes howling in the woods I feel good, I feel good, I feel good (chorus) The walls and the floor and the ceiling make me feel like I’m suffocating This stale indoor air ain’t fit to breath It’s a cage and I’m trapped within it, I can’t take another minute There’s only one way to get relief, I gotta go (chorus) Outside I feel free © 2021 Michael T.

When the Winter Won’t Let Go Nancy Blandford / Amy Carlock / Jerald Hill There are seasons in our lives That linger longer than we'd like Leaving frost upon our souls When the winter won't let go When the bitter cold hangs on When the ground is hard as stone Nothing ever seems to grow When the winter won't let go Still we know these trying days Will come and go but our love remains Hold me close, so safe and warm We’ll find hope in each other’s arms There is beauty hidden deep Waiting for the kiss of spring Sheltered safe beneath the snow When the winter won't let go

When I need to get away There’s a peaceful place I go A rock out in the river Where the rushing waters flow With the sun upon my face And my back against the rock I’m miles away from the madness That never seems to stop CHORUS: But here in the river There’s no such thing as time Here in the river There’s nothing to cloud the mind I come to get away From the crazy day to day Here in the river On that rock in the river I can sit and drink a beer I can do my best thinking then Because the world is finally clear Nothing but high blue skies And the river flowing by It’s then I know I have it made I’m the world’s luckiest guy REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE: Ain’t no troubled waters Flowing cross my toes Ain’t worried bout the sands of time Or the gossip someone knows Ain’t jumping when the phone rings I got no pace to go Ain’t worried bout tomorrow Cause tomorrow might not show REPEAT CHORUS

I WANNA GO DOWN SOUTH Vs. 1 Well the flowers in the spring are a beautiful thing To us livin' in the states up North I like a warm summer breeze with birds in the trees And a drive to the sandy shores But with the colors of the fall and the start of football You can see the fear in my eyes 'Cause in just a few weeks after those trees peak Well you know that's when the snow flies Chorus I WANNA GO DOWN SOUTH Take a train or a plane or a long car ride I gotta work this out Every year it gets worse when I'm locked inside I wanna see the palm trees And the blue seas Wanna party all night in the Florida Keys It's all I've been dreamin' about Yeah, and baby there ain’t no doubt I WANNA GO DOWN SOUTH...yes sa! Vs. 2 Well I’m dancin' in the sand to the sounds of a band Playin' Buffett ’til the sun comes up Watchin’ tikki torch flames and a low limbo game While I’m sippin’ on Bacardi rum It’s just my tropical dream and as real as it seems I’m stuck here in the winter cold Sub zero degrees the snow up to my knees And before I get too old Repeat chorus (option: modulate 3rd chorus) Tag Baby there ain't no doubt I WANNA GO DOWN SOUTH Yeah, I ain't leavin' no doubt I WANNA GO DOWN SOUTH © 2007 Pat Kelley, BMI PH: 802-885-3307 pk2@vermontel.net

Hawaiian breeze Verse I Waves roll a shore Oahu’s sun high in the sky I'm holding hands with a lover as we gaze upon Mokoli’i, The birds and the trees sing a song of how to survive, But sitting next to you is when I feel most alive, When it’s just... (Chorus) You and me In Hawaii, my love Baby be mine You can take me to the ocean shore We can love some more And sing songs Baby be mine Dancing in the ocean breeze I love the way you make me smile When I look into your eyes The mountains soar and touch the sky Baby be my, Hawaiian breeze Baby be my Hawaiian Breeze Verse II A path in the sand leads the way, Secret island surprise, The soft touch of your hand, Deep look in those beautiful eyes, All is well, with you, by my side, And in the wake of the storm I’ll find, No matter how wide, I’ll go back to...
