Change your ways
I’m on a trip down memory lane
While the bartender sings
Songs from forgotten years while he serves my drink
He talks about what he could have been he talks about this spell
Put upon his childhood dreams, dreams he knows so well
But you need to change your ways
Do it today
Go out and find something to unwind
He he hey
There might be a desert to cross
There might be a mountain to climb
There might be an ocean to swim
And you just might not even win
But you need to
Change your ways
Do it today
Go out and find something to unwind
He he hey
This taxi driver’s on a break and talks about his plans
To take a trip to Hollywood and give himself a chance
He’d like to play a part sometime
In a Tarantino flick
He’s taking acting classes now I guess his plan will stick
This taxi driver’s on a break and talks about his plans
To take a trip to Hollywood and give himself a chance
He’d like to play a part sometime
In a Tarantino flick
He’s taking acting classes now I guess his plan will stick
Hehey I guess his plan will stick
Hehey I hope his plan will stick
Hehey I guess hiss plan will stick
Hehey I’m sure his plan will stick

Supermighty
When I saw her walking by
She just caught my eye
I thought about the words to say
To make her come my way
To make her come my way
I said lady you look so fine
May I use some of your precious time
I’ll take you to that place
Where we can dance the night away
We walked and danced and talked all night
Held each others hands
She really made me feel all right
This could be more than friends
I just can’t stop this feeling that I’m feeling
I’m feeling super mighty
Do you feel super mighty to
Do you feel super mighty
Do you feel super mighty
Do you feel super mighty to
Now as the years went by
She stayed by my side
And every now and than
We go back to that place where it all began
We walk and dance and talk all night
Hold each others hands
She really makes me feel all right
Cause we are more than friends
And I just can’t stop this feeling that I’m feeling
I’m feeling super mighty
Do you feel super mighty to
Do you feel super mighty
Do you feel super mighty
Do you feel super mighty to

Reminds me of you

Reminds me of you
I can smell the pines
Looking at the picture, the pictures in my hands
They send me back in time
To when we were together, together making plans
The portrait shows your smile
It seems to say we’ll never, never come to an end
Everything I say or do
Every song I sing reminds me
Reminds me
Of you
And as the sun shines bright
The rain has drawn a rainbow, a rainbow around your head
Always on my mind
You seem unable, unable to forget
Everything I say or do
Every song I sing reminds me
Reminds me
Of you

Come what may
Oh baby come what may
Whatever the price i’ll pay
Just come on home with me tonight
Seems like traffic’s been stuck for hours
I’m talking bout the traffic in my brain
Time keeps on ticking into another hour
And I’m slowly going insane
How did it come to this?
Why, why, why, why did you leave
Oh my love
Oh my love
Come on home to me
I Guess there’s nothing left to go for
I Guess there’s nothing left to say
You were all I ever hoped for
And now I’m standing in your way
How did it come to this?
Why, why, why did you leave?
Oh my love
Oh my love
Come on home to me
Oh baby come what may
Whatever the price I’ll pay
Just come on home with me tonight

MARY
Mary is coming home on Friday
Takes an early train be there by five
I’m so glad she’s coming my way
She brings meaning into my life
It’s been nine years since I’ve met her
That may seem some time ago
Bur the time we had together
Brought me so much joy
Mary
Mary
Mary of mine
Mary
Sweet Mary
Mary, sweet Mary, of mine
We’ve been doing all right so far
Seems like nothing get’s us down
Only time will tell where this go’s
But we’re okay right now
Mary
Mary
Mary of mine
Mary
Sweet Mary
Mary, sweet Mary, of mine
Can we keep this from going wrong
Keep this from going wrong
Going wrong
Mary

Nightfall
Nightfall is coming
Golden hour is near
Daylight will surrender soon
We’ll have another day behind us
Soothing sounds of silence fill the room
Soon them sounds of silence will sooth us to
Moonlight slowly
Draws a shape on you
Seems like the two of us will see this nighttime through
Time to rest our head and bones
Time to mend our heart and souls
When the dawn is breaking, we’ll be on our way
To another horizon into another day
On our way
We will mend our heart and souls
We will rest our head and bones
Together not alone
Alone

In my arms
Maybe you’re right to say that I
Could do so much better
Maybe you’re right to say that I
Could do so much better
For now, for now I just want you
Close to me
For now for now I just want you
Close to me
So close the door and close your eyes
And I’m sure you will find
Peace of heart and peace of mind
In my arms, in my arms, in my arms
Tonight
Maybe you’re right to say that I
Should learn from my rage
And maybe you’re right to say that I
Should turn back that page
Close the door and close your eyes
And I’m sure you will find
Peace of heart and peace of mind
In my arms, in my arms, in my arms
Tonight
