Hello 👋 where is everyone?
Apologies if anyone else has started a new song lyrics thread, I can't see it.

We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way,
Oh yes, we've just begun.

All around my hat I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat for a twelve-month and a day
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love who's far, far away

Grandyma Thu 25-Jul-24 16:37:33

So far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're just time away
Long ago, I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
How I wish I could, but you're so far away
One more song about movin' along the highway
Can't say much of anything that's new
If I could only work this life out my way
I'd rather spend it bein' close to you
But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're so far away
Yeah, you're so far away
Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothing else to do but close my mind
I sure hope the road don't come to own me
There's so many dreams I've yet to find

Grannmarie Thu 25-Jul-24 21:47:39

Long ago and oh, so far away
I fell in love with you
Before the second show.
Your guitar, it sang so sweet and clear
But you're not really here
It's just the radio.
Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby?
You said you'd be coming back one day again, maybe,
Baby, baby, baby oh baby my baby
I love you, I really do.

dayvidg Fri 26-Jul-24 12:11:46

I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still, my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you

Cinderella she seems so easy
It takes one to know one she smiles
Puts her hands in her back pockets Bette Davies style
In comes Romeo, he's moaning
You belong to me I believe
Someone turns and says
You're in the wrong room my friend you'd better leave.
And the only sound that's left
After the ambulances go
Is Cinderella sweeping up on Desolation row.

Grandyma Sat 27-Jul-24 09:58:35

A lovestruck Romeo sang the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"
Juliet says, "Hey, it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack"
He's underneath the window, she's singing, "Hey, la, my boyfriend's back
You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?"
"Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet, and you exploded into my heart
And I forget, I forget the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?"

I think about the things that we should have done before
And the way things are going to end is about to fall
We took the wrong step years ago
We took the wrong step years ago
We took the wrong step years ago
Look around and see the warnings close at hand
Already weeds are writing their scriptures in the sand
We took the wrong step years ago
We took the wrong step years ago
We took the wrong step years ago
The morning Sun is rising casting rays across the land
Already nature's calling take heed of the warning
We took the wrong step years ago
We took the wrong step years ago
We took the wrong step years ago

Step by step
Bit by bit
Stone by stone
Brick by brick
Step by step
Day by day
Mile by mile

And this old road is rough and ruined
So many dangers along the way
So many burdens might fall upon me
So many troubles I'll have to face.

Grandyma Sun 28-Jul-24 12:23:52

We are going
Heaven knows where we are going,
but we know we will

And we will get there
Heaven knows how we will get there,
but we know we will

It will be hard we know
And the road will be muddy and rough

But we’ll get there
Heaven knows how we will get there
but we know we will

Namsnanny Sun 28-Jul-24 14:00:15

I am a poor wafairing stranger
Travelling through this land alone
Yet there's no sickness toil or danger
In that bright land to which I go

I'm going there to see my father,
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I know dark clouds will gather round me
I know my way is rough and steep,
But beauteous fields will lay before me
Where Gods redeemed their vigils keep

Grandyma Sun 28-Jul-24 16:31:46

I got no bags and bags to slow me down
Well, I'm traveling so fast my feet ain't touching the ground
Traveling light
Traveling light
Well, I just can't wait to be with my baby tonight
No comb and no tooth brush
I got nothing to haul
I'm carrying only
A pocketful of dreams a heart full of love
And they weigh nothing at all
Soon, I'm gonna see that love look in her eyes
I'm a hoot and a holler away from paradise
Traveling light
Traveling light
Well, I just can't wait to be with my baby tonight

dayvidg Sun 28-Jul-24 18:24:44

The look of love
Is in your eyes
The look your heart
Can't disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard, well, it takes my breath away

Grandyma Sun 28-Jul-24 22:36:00

So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town

[Chorus]
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes

Namsnanny Sun 28-Jul-24 23:34:37

You look like an angel (repeat)
Walk like an angel (repeat)
Talk like an angel
But I got wise

Your the devil in disguise,
Oh yes you are, devil in disguise.

dayvidg Mon 29-Jul-24 13:34:16

Judy in disguise, well that's what you are
A lemonade pie with a brand new car
Cantaloupe eyes come to me tonight
Judy in disguise, with glasses
Keep a-wearing your bracelets and your new Rara
And cross your heart, yeah, with your livin' bra
Chimney Sweep Sparrow with guise
Judy in disguise, with glasses

Namsnanny Mon 29-Jul-24 14:49:20

Up where the smoke is all billered and curled
Tween pavement and stars is the chimney sweeps world,
Where there's hardly no day
And there's hardly no night
There's things half in shadow and half in light
Up on the roof tops of London
Cool, what a sight.
Chime chimney chimney chimney charee
A sweep is as lucky as lucky can be

dayvidg Tue 30-Jul-24 11:46:50

We will light a giant burning fire tonight
We will build it and dance in the smoke
Every branch we'll tie somebody's worry to it
We will burn it and dance in the smoke
I recall it was too tall
To see the flames grow high
But on tiptoe
The flames would grow
And burn into the sky
We will light a giant burning fire tonight
We will build it and dance in the smoke
Every branch we'll tie somebody's worry to it
We will burn it and dance in the smoke

Namsnanny Tue 30-Jul-24 22:16:29

All the things you said they were never true never true
And the games you play you would always win
Always win

I set fire to the rain
Watch it pour as I touch your face
Well it burned as it screamed out
Your name
Your name

dayvidg Wed 31-Jul-24 16:41:38

Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
While they wile away the hours
In their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine

Grandyma Wed 31-Jul-24 23:51:49

Every night
I sit here by my window
Staring at the lonely avenue
Watching lovers holding hands and laughing
And thinking bout the things we used to do

(Thinking of things)
Like a walk in the park (things)
Like a kiss in the dark (Things
Like a sailboat ride (Yeah yeah)
What about the night we cried
Things like a lovers vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinking bout the things we used to do

Namsnanny Thu 01-Aug-24 01:55:09

Just a perfect day
Drink sangria in the park
Then later when it gets dark
We go home
Just a perfect day
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later a movie too
And then home

dayvidg Thu 01-Aug-24 14:07:20

Over bridge of sighs
To rest my eyes in shades of green
Under dreaming spires
To Itchycoo Park, that's where I've been
(What did you do there?) I got high
(What did you feel there?) well, I cried
(But why the tears there?) tell you why
It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful

Namsnanny Fri 02-Aug-24 13:35:23

I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled waters
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled waters
I will lay me down.

Grandyma Fri 02-Aug-24 23:12:36

Now there's a chance to see
If we just open up our eyes
And if you can't believe
Well, come on, please just try
But if you ain't alright, just remember
I'm on your side
If you ain't alright, just remember
I'm on your side

Namsnanny Sat 03-Aug-24 01:03:38

Oh don't give us none of your aggravation
We've had it with your discipline
Oh Saturday nights alright for fighting
Get a little action in

Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
'Cos Saturdays the night I like
Saturday's alright, alright, alright.
