Bridge Over Troubled Water
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 pain 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.
El Condor Pasa (If I Could)
I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail. Yes I would. If I could, I surely would. I'd rather be a hammer than a nail. Yes I would. If I could, I surely would. Away, I'd rather sail away Like a swan that's here and gone. Its saddest sound. I'd rather be a forest than a street. Yes I would. If I could, I surely would. I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet. Yes I would. If I could, I surely would.
Cecilia
Celia, you're breaking my heart, You're shaking my confidence daily. Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees, I'm begging you please to come home. Celia, you're breaking my heart, You're shaking my confidence daily. Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees, I'm begging you please to come home. Come on home. Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia Up in my bedroom, I got up to wash my face When I come back to bed, Someone's taken my place. Celia, you're breaking my heart, You're shaking my confidence daily. Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees, I'm begging you please to come home. Jubilation, She loves me again, I fall on the floor and I laughing. Jubilation, She loves me again, I fall on the floor and I laughing.
Keep The Customer Satisfied
Gee but it's great to be back home, Home is where I want to be. I've been on the road so long my friend, And if you came along I know you couldn't disagree. It's the same old story Everywhere I go, I get slandered, Libeled, I hear words I never heard In the Bible. And I'm one step ahead of the shoe shine, Two steps away from the county line, Just trying to keep my customers satisfied, Satisfied. Deputy Sheriff said to me Tell me what you come here for, boy. You better get your bags and flee. You're in trouble boy, And now you're heading into more. It's the same old story Everywhere I go, I get slandered, Libeled, I hear words I never heard In the Bible. And I'm one step ahead of the shoe shine,
So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright
SO LONG, FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT --------------------------- So long, Frank Lloyd Wright. I can't believe your song is gone so soon. I barely learned the tune So soon So soon. I'll remember Frank Lloyd Wright. All of the nights we'd harmonize till dawn. I never laughed so long So long. So long. Architects may come and Architects may go and Never change your point of view. When I run dry I stop awhile and think of you. Architects may come and Architects may go and Never change your point of view. So long, Frank Lloyd Wright, All of the nights we'd harmonize till dawn. I never laughed so long So long So long.
The Boxer
I am just a poor boy. Though my story's seldom told, I have squandered my resistance For a pocketful of mumbles, Such are promises All lies and jest Still, a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest. When I left my home And my family, I was no more than a boy In the company of strangers In the quiet of the railway station, Running scared, Laying low, Seeking out the poorer quarters Where the ragged people go, Looking for the places Only they would know. Lie-la-lie... Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a job, But I get no offers, Just a come-on from the whores On Seventh Avenue I do declare, There were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there. Lie-la-lie... Then I'm laying out my winter clothes And wishing I was gone, Going home Where the New York City winters Aren't bleeding me, Leading me, Going home. In the clearing stands a boxer, And a fighter by his trade And he carries the reminders Of ev'ry glove that laid him down And cut him till he cried out In his anger and his shame, "I am leaving, I am leaving." But the fighter still remains Lie-la-lie...
Baby Driver
BABY DRIVER ----------- My daddy was the family bassman My mamma was an engineer And I was born one dark gray morn With music coming in my ears In my ears. They call me Baby Driver And once upon a pair of wheels Hit the road and I'm gone ah What's my number I wonder how your engine feels. Ba ba ba ba Scoot down the road What's my number I wonder how your engine feels. My daddy was a prominent frogman My mamma's in the Naval reserve When I was young I carried a gun But I never got the chance to serve I did not serve. They call me Baby Driver And once upon a pair of wheels Hit the road and I'm gone ah What's my number I wonder how your engine feels. Ba ba ba ba Scoot down the road What's my number I wonder how your engine feels. My daddy got a big promotion My mamma got a raise in pay There's no-one home, we're all alone Oh come into my room and play Yes we can play. I'm not talking about your pigtails But I'm talking 'bout your sex appeal Hit the road and I'm gone ah What's my number I wonder how your engine feels. Ba ba ba ba Scoot down the road What's my number I wonder how your engine feels.
The Only Living Boy in New York
THE ONLY LIVING BOY IN NEW YORK ------------------------------- Tom, get your plane right on time. I know your part'll go fine. Fly down to Mexico. Da-n-da-da-n-da-n-da-da and here I am, The only living boy in New York. I get the news I need on the weather report. I can gather all the news I need on the weather report. Hey, I've got nothing to do today but smile. Da-n-do-da-n-do-da-n-do here I am, The only living boy in New York. Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where, And we don't know where. Tom, get your plane right on time. I know that you've been eager to fly now. Hey let your honesty shine, shine, shine Da-n-da-da-n-da-n-da-da Like it shines on me. The only living boy in New York, The only living boy in New York.
Why Don't You Write Me
Why don't you write me, I'm out in the jungle, I'm hungry to hear you. Send me a card, I am waiting so hard To be near you. (La, la, la) Why don't you write? Something is wrong And I know I got to be there. Maybe I'm lost, But I can't make the cost Of the airfare. Tell me why Why Why Tell me why Why Why Why don't you write me, A letter would brighten My loneliest evening. Mail it today If it's only to say That you're leaving me. (La, la, la) Monday morning, sitting in the sun Hoping and wishing for the mail to come. Tuesday, never got a word, Wednesday, Thursday, ain't no sign, Drank a half a bottle of iodine. Friday, woe is me Gonna hang my body from the highest tree. Why don't you write me?
Bye Bye Love
BYE BYE LOVE ------------ Bye bye love Bye bye happiness Hello loneliness I think I'm gonna cry Bye bye love Bye bye sweet caress Hello emptiness I feel like I could die Bye bye my love, goodbye There goes my baby With someone new She sure looks happy I sure am blue She was my baby Till he stepped in Goodbye to romance That might have been (chorus) I'm through with romance I'm through with love I'm through with counting The stars above And here's the reason That I'm so free My loving baby Is through with me (chorus) Two steps away from the county line, Just trying to keep my customers satisfied, Satisfied. It's the same old story Everywhere I go, I get slandered, Libeled. I hear words I never heard In the Bible. And I'm so tired, I'm oh so tired, But I'm trying to keep my customers satisfied, Satisfied.
Song For The Asking
Here is my song for the asking Ask me and I will play So sweetly, I'll make you smile This is my tune for the taking Take it, don't turn away I've been waiting all my life Thinking it over, I've been sad Thinking it over, I'd be more than glad To change my ways for the asking Ask me and I will play All the love that I hold inside
