Two drifters, off to see the world,
There’s such alot of world to see,
We’re after the same rainbows end,
Waiting round the bend
My Huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me…
(I love this song so much I thought we needed another verse:heart:
)
Why are there so many songs about rainbows,
And what’s on the other side?
Rainbows are visions; they’re only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide…
(Glad to see that Beck is back in ths thread!)
So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because your neighbors got it made
Just remember that it’s a Grand illusion
And deep inside we’re all the same.
We’re all the same
America spells competition, join us in our blind ambition
Get yourself a brand new motor car
Someday soon we’ll stop to ponder what on Earth’s this spell we’re under
We made the grade and still we wonder who the hell we are
You’re the top! You’re a Ritz hot toddy.
You’re the top! You’re a Brewster body.
You’re the boats that glide on the sleepy Zuider Zee,
You’re a Nathan Panning, You’re Bishop Manning,
You’re broccoli.
If you’re blue and you don’t know where to go,
Why don’t you go where the fashion sits,
Putting on the Ritz…
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, things’ll be great when you’re
Downtown, no finer place for sure
Downtown everything’s waiting for you
Pack up your troubles and just get happy
Ya better chase all your cares away
Sing Hallelujah, come on get happy
Get ready for the judgment day
The sun is shining, come on get happy
The Lord is waiting to take your hand
Shout Hallelujah, come on get happy
We’re going to the Promised Land
Well I’ve heard there was a secret chord,
That David played and it pleased the Lord,
But you don’t really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift,
The baffled king composing Hallelujah.
Two notes of the chord, that’s our poor scope
But to reach the chord is our life’s hope
And to name the chord is important to some
So they give it a word, and the word is…
L is for the way you look at me,
O is for the only one I see,
V is very, very ex-traordinary,
E is even more than anyone I knew before
There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done
Nothing you can sing that can’t be sung
Nothing you can say, but you can learn how to play the game
It’s easy
Nothing you can make that can’t be made
No one you can save that can’t be saved
Nothing you can do, but you can learn how to be you in time
It’s easy
All you need is love
Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all, set us free
Love is the answer
Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows
Everything that’s wonderful is what I feel when we’re together
Brighter than a lucky penny
When you’re near the rain just disappears, dear
And I feel so fine
Just to know that you are mine
You always seem to let your feelings show,
You love me and you let me know,
Darlin’ just remember these three words:
I love you, I love you
And you put me on a natural high,
And I can fly, I can fly…
For just a Skyline Pigeon
Dreaming of the open
Waiting for the day
That he can spread his wings
And fly away again
Fly away, skyline pigeon fly
Towards the dreams
You’ve left so very far behind
Look at the way I glide
Caught on the wind’s lazy tide
Sweetly how it sings
Rally each heart at the sight
Of your silver wings
Skybird, skybird
*Into the distance a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast
How can I escape this irresistible grasp? *
Oh so long for this night I prayed
That a star would guide you my way
To share with me this special day
Where a ribbon in the sky for our love
Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Layin’ soft upon my skin
Like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side
Till the early mornin’ light
All I’m takin’ is your time
Help me make it through the night
'Round her neck she wore a yellow ribbon
She wore it in the springtime and in the month of May
And if you asked her why the heck she wore it
She wore it for her lover who was far, far away
