GIVE ME RAIN
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
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

WASTED SUMMER
WASTED SUMMER
Verse 1
(haha, Let’s Go!)
We got our feet hangin’ off
The back of the boat
Got the boat tied up to the others in the cove
Flags flyin’ in the wind
Lime on the rim
Tequila in our cups, reel ‘em in
Chorus 1
It’s another wasted summer
Ain’t doin' much of nothin’
checkin’ boat lines, tan lines
Anchored out in paradise
Probly should be workin’
But hey, that ain’t workin'
So we’re hangin’ out getting’ drunk on life
Here’s to another wasted summer
Verse 2
We got the beer gettin’ cold
ahhh the girls, you know
They got the 30 SPORT out sprayin’ down head to toe
(uh oh)
Ready for that sun-kissed skin
All summer long again
We’ll pour it in our cups, and reel it in
Chorus 2
It’s another wasted summer
Ain’t doin' much of nothin’
checkin boat lines, tan lines
Anchored out in paradise
Probly should be workin'
But hey, that ain’t workin’
So we’re hangin’ out gettin’ drunk on life
Here’s to another wasted summer
(Come On!)
BRIDGE:
Drippin’ off on the dock
Slippin on flip-flops
Tiki bar ain’t far
That’s where we go yall
After dark, Can’t let it end
Good times with good FRIENDS
Chorus 3
It’s another wasted summer
Ain’t doin' much of nothin’
Just checkin boat lines, tan lines
Chillin’ in the moonlight
Probly should be goin’
But hey, the drinks are flowin’
So We’re hangin’ out gettin’ drunk all night
Here’s to another wasted summer

IT'S REALLY CHRISTMAS
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

FRIENDS
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
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

Oh Oh its a beautiful day

BLUEBIRD
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

EARTH, PEACE, LOVE
Writers: Ricki E. Bellos & Jim Purtell
V1
Tamaracks shine golden through the mist
Sparkling mountain streams run diamond kissed
Eagle circles high above the draw
Life by Nature’s law
CHORUS 1
We stand before these wonders of the wild
Take our rightful place as Nature’s child
What She freely offers is enough
Earth, Peace, Love
Verse 2
Evening falls on gold and crimson rays
This quiet speaks of a sacred place
Nowhere else I’d rather be tonight
Than sharing in this life
CHORUS 2
All we hear is what She tells us
The things She says are all we can trust
What She freely offers is enough
Earth, Peace, Love
BRIDGE
What can we give in return
Listen, watch and learn
CHORUS 3
Surrender fully to this feeling
Understand what completeness means
What She freely offers is enough

Looking up to heaven and wondering why
As rain falls like tears from Tennessee skies

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

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

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

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

The view is so much better
High on this peak
I’ve found my inner strength
Thanks to you, look what I’ve achieved

CH1
I can’t help myself the beauty of this world
Wraps around my life and leads me to the pearl
Resting in my heart I turn my thoughts to you
And let your Love Come Through
V1
Autumn trees with rainbow splashes on their leaves Drop them down to feed the earth
Bare their branches as they slowly go to sleep Start to dream about rebirth
V2
Hear the water calling falling into sight Down a mountain deep in snow
Sparkling hillsides melting in the sun so bright Feed the river far below
V3
Mother Nature yawns and wakes up with the spring Fills the woods with fragrant air
Vibrant green begins the task of coloring A work of art that’s everywhere
CH2
I can’t help myself the beauty of this world
Wraps around my life and leads me to the pearl
Resting in my heart I turn my thoughts to you
And let your Love Come Through
V4
How the heat of summer makes (our bodies) glow Walking barefoot through the sand
Watch the sunset at the ocean picture show Side by side and hand in hand
V5
Lazy waves are lapping softly up to shore Star-filled sky above the park
Waxing moon is peeking through the trees once more As I kiss you in the dark

I can’t help myself the beauty of this world
Wraps around my life and leads me to the pearl
Resting in my heart I turn my thoughts to you
And let your Love Come Through

No Star on the Tree

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.

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

Every time I wake up it’s a brand new day

And I hear songbirds singing sweet melodies

Dropping worries in my escape

Open to where this road shall lead

SUDDENLY DECEMBER
SUDDENLY DECEMBER
©2006 Karel Daniels/Janet Goodman
I keep your sweater folded up
In a trunk next to my bed
I pull it out on rainy nights
And lay it ‘cross my chest
When I’m lonely I put it on
I’m right back in your arms
And it’s suddenly December in the middle of June
We’re celebrating Christmas, my last one with you
Oh, six inches of new snow
The fire dies to just a glow
Your eyes watching over my soul
When I wear your old sweater
It’s suddenly December
So big it hangs below my knees
And there’s a hole I can put my fist through
Swore I’d never wash it
Even though I really need to
I can feel the magic begin
Goosebumps on my skin
And it’s suddenly December in the middle of June
We’re celebrating Christmas, my last one with you
Oh, it’s ten degrees below
Kissing you under mistletoe
Your eyes watching over my soul
When I wear your old sweater
It’s suddenly December
I can hear Nat King Cole, I can smell the pine
I shiver from the cold, but it’s hot as hell outside
I can feel you with me – even though you’re gone
Like a supernatural phenomenon
Suddenly December in the middle of June
Celebrating Christmas, my last one with you
Just the two of us at home
Ripping off that big red bow
Made it myself, took days to knit one row
When I wear your old sweater
It’s suddenly December
It’s suddenly December
It’s suddenly December

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

WHEN THE WINTER WON'T LET GO
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

HERE IN THE RIVER
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

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

HAWAIIAN BREEZE
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...
(Chorus x2) --- END ---

INDIANA WINTER
INDIANA WINTER
Lyrics and music by Daniel Curzon
VERSE #1:
I’VE GOT ME A ROTTEN LITTLE BAND
THAT’S SCREWED AROUND HERE AND OTHER PARTS.
WE’VE BEEN AS FAR AS ALABAM',
GOT AS HIGH AS NUMBER SIX
ON SOME BLUESY MUSIC CHARTS
VERSE #2:
I JUST GOT A CALL TO COME ON HOME.
THEY NEED SOMEBODY TO CARE FOR DAD.
ALWAYS PLAYED PAPER AND THE COMB,
BUT HE SORT OF SHRIVELLED UP,
AND HIS SMILE WENT SORT OF SAD
CHORUS:
IT'S GONNA BE AN INDIANA WINTER,
FULL OF HAIL AND SLEET AND SNOW.
IT'S GONNA BE AN 'INTERESTING' WINTER.
MAN, DO I EVER KNOW!
(a laugh/cry)
WITH DRIFTS UP TO YOUR KNEES,
THE TEARS ON YOUR EYELIDS FREEZE.
Repeat CHORUS:
Plus: I’VE GOT MORE! (croaked)
I'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE!
WELL,BRING IT ON!
I’VE GOT MORE.
I’VE GOT MORE!
VERSE #3
BACK WHEN, I HUNG ON, THE WAY THAT YOU DO,
MARRIED A TOUGH LITTLE GAL ONE DAY.
BUT WHEN THAT WENT GOD KNOWS WHERETO,
AND SHE STOPPED AND JUST WALKED OUT,.
I HAD TO KEEP THE COLD AT BAY.
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
(sounds of being chilled to the bone)
Ooo ooo ooo!.
It's just weather.
Ooo ooo ooo!.
Could be better.
Verse #4
YEP, COME SPRING, I’M GOIN' ON THE ROAD.
HOPE I’VE GOT ME A COUPLE OF HITS.
GONNA TRY ANOTHER AREA CODE.
THINK I MIGHT BE IN MY PRIME.
GOT AT LEAST HALF MY WITS.
.
CHORUS
I’VE GOT MORE1
I’VE GOT MORE!
(cough)
