And it’s been a long December and there’s reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can’t remember all the times I tried to tell my myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass
And it’s one more day up in the canyon
And it’s one more night in Hollywood
It’s been so long since I’ve seen the ocean…I guess I should
And those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
In her diamonds and frills
Oh those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
She had all of her skills
Now you’re telling me
You’re not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You who are so good with words
And at keeping things vague
Because I need some of that vagueness now
It’s all come back too clearly
Yes I loved you dearly
And if you’re offering me diamonds and rust
I’ve already paid
When mistletoe and tinsel glow
Paint a yuletide valentine
Back home I go to those I know
For a Christmas auld lang syne.
We’re not alone, we’ve got the world you know.
And it won’t let us down, just wait and see.
And we’ll grow old, but think how wise we’ll grow.
There’s more you know, it’s only New Year’s Eve.
It’s just another New Year’s Eve,
Another night like all the rest.
It’s just another New Year’s Eve,
Let’s make it the best.
It’s just another New Year’s Eve,
It’s just another Auld Lang Syne,
But when we’re through this New Year, you’ll see, will be
Just fine.
A thousand years have come and gone, and near a thousand more,
Since happier light from heaven shone than ever shone before:
And in the hearts of old and young a joy most joyful stirred.
That sent such news from tongue to tongue as ears had never heard.
He waits to see you
For it has been long since you left him
On his own to wander
Woman of a thousand years
How are your sons of a time ago?
Do they still admire your silvered ways
As you go down
To the sea and the golden sand
Meanwhile and far away, as the night draws in
He’s holding her right now, I can feel it all begin
Meanwhile and far away, when the day is done
I ride away, my friend, into the setting sun
And the river’s running down
Down to the sea
I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
There’s only one bed and there’s only one prayer;
I listen all night for your step on the stair.
But I know from your eyes
And I know from your smile
That tonight will be fine,
Will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
For a while.
I used to live in a two-room apartment
Neighbors knocking on my wall
Times were hard, I don’t want to knock it
I don’t miss it much at all
Oh yeah, I’m all right,
I just feel a little lonely tonight
I’m okay, most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight
Just moved in to 14G
So cozy, calm, and peaceful
Heaven for a mouse like me
With quiet by the lease-full
Pets are banned parties too
And no solicitations
Window seat with garden view
A perfect nook to read a book
I’m lost in my Jane Austen when I hear
[Dramatic opera]
Say it isn’t so
Not the flat below
From an opera wanna be
In 13G
A matinee of some cantata
Wagner’s Ring
And Traviata
So, let’s make the most of this beautiful day
Since we’re together we might as well say:
Would you be mine? Could you be mine?
Won’t you be my neighbor?
It’s a lovely day today
So whatever you’ve got to do
You’ve got a lovely day to do it in, that’s true
And I hope whatever you’ve got to do
Is something that can be done by two
For I’d really like to stay
It’s a lovely day today
And whatever you’ve got to do
I’d be so happy to be doing it with you
But if you’ve got something that must be done
And it can only be done by one
There is nothing more to say
Except it’s a lovely day for saying
It’s a lovely day
Wonderful day, passing my way
Knock on my door and even the score with your eyes
Lovely to see you again my friend
Walk along with me to the next bend
Dark cloud of fear is blowing away
Now that you’re here, you’re going to stay, 'cause it’s
Lovely to see you again my friend
Walk along with me to the next bend
You just call out my name
And you know where ever I am
I’ll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer, or fall
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there, yeah, yeah
You’ve got a friend
I’ll hold on but I need a shoulder to lean on
Why if you love me must you leave me?
Why are you going anywhere?
Why must our love be something in the air?
Cause just when I need you
You won’t be there
You and I must make a pact
We must bring salvation back
Where there is love, I’ll be there (I’ll be there)
I’ll reach out my hand to you
I’ll have faith in all you do
Just call my name and I’ll be there (I’ll be there)
Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd’st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
Me and Joseph lost at sea
Under rain and slowly waking
He looks around and smiles at me
41 and we’re still waiting
I’m not tired but I think I’ll lay back anyway
I’m not hopeless but I think I’ll stay
And even the waves won’t carry me away
If I close my eyes
And fell asleep in this layby
Would it all subside
The fever pushing the day by
Motor window wind
I could do with some fresh air
Can’t breathe too well
