When you're near
There's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Ev'ry time we say goodbye

There's an old piano and they play it hot behind the green door
Don't know what they're doing but they laugh alot behind the green door
Wish they'd let me in so I could find out what's behind the green door
Saw an eyeball peeping through a smokycloud behind the green door
When I said Joe had sent me someone laughed out loud behind the green door
All I want to do is join the happy crowd behind the green door

Now if you wanna hear some boogie like I'm gonna play
It's just an old piano and a knockout bass
The drummer's man's a cat they call Charlie McCoy
You know, remember that rubber-legged boy?
Mama cookin' chicken fried and bacon grease
Come on along boys, it's just down the road apiece

65KL Sat 10-May-25 21:28:24

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Making love to his tonic and gin

He says , Son can you play me a memory
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet
And I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man clothes
Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
We're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright

crazyH Sat 10-May-25 23:24:53

Well, Saturday night at 8 o'clock
I know where I'm gonna go
I'm a-gonna pick my baby up
And take her to the picture show
Everybody in the neighborhood
Is dressin' up to be there, too
And we're gonna have a ball
Just like we always do
Saturday night at the movies
Who cares what picture you see
When you're huggin' with your baby
In the last row of the balcony?

dayvidg Sun 11-May-25 15:59:17

Now there's a new craze a-goin' 'round
It's gettin' bigger in most every town
From New York City out to Hollywood
Got everybody in the neighborhood

Down in the unemployment line
You got yourself a place and I got mine
We been here waitin' since the clock struck nine
Down in the unemployment line

Let's go surfing now
Everyone's learning how
Come on on safari with me
Come on on safari with me

They're angling in Laguna in Cerro Azul
They're kicking out in Doheny too
I tell you surfing mighty wild
It's getting bigger everyday
From Hawaii to the shores of Peru

With tuppence for paper and strings
You can have your own set of wings
With your feet on the ground
You're a bird in a flight
With your fist holding tight
To the string of your kite
… Oh, oh, oh!
Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height!
Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let's go fly a kite!

I don't wanna lose this precious time
Baby, you've come so far
You've crossed the borderline
Can you feel it humming in the air
Now there's a place for you
Somewhere, the tide has turned
We musn't throw it away
This feeling here today
Keep it together now
We can't let the memory slip away
You know it feels so fine
Beyond the borderline
Living where the air is clear and rare
We hardly dared to dream
Somewhere the tide could turn

65KL Wed 14-May-25 05:31:55

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm going to be your number one
I'm not the kind of girl that who gives up just like that
Oh no
It's not the things you do that tease and hurt me bad
But the way you do the things you do to me

dayvidg Wed 14-May-25 16:09:00

I don't like my mind right now
Stacking up problems that are so unnecessary
Wish that I could slow things down
I wanna let go but there's comfort in the panic
And I drive myself crazy
Thinking everything's about me
Yeah, I drive myself crazy
'Cause I can't escape the gravity

I'm holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on
To so much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?

Grandyma Wed 14-May-25 22:35:26

Holding back the years
Thinking of the fear I’ve had so long
When somebody hears
Listen to the fear that’s gone
Strangled by the wishes of pater
Hoping for the arms of mater
Get to me the sooner or later

Holding back the years
Chance for me to escape from all I’ve known
Holding back the tears
Cause nothing here has grown
I’ve wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
Nothing ever could yeah

I’ll keep holding on
I’ll keep holding on
I’ll keep holding on
I’ll keep holding on
So tight

crazyH Wed 14-May-25 22:48:59

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way
Through night and day
'Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven
Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please
Beyond the door
There's peace, I'm sure
'Cause I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven

Old man lying by the side of the road
With the lorries rolling by
Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load
And the buildings scrape the sky
Cold wind ripping down the alley at dawn
And the morning paper flies
Dead man lying by the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around

crazyH Thu 15-May-25 20:00:10

Blue moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
Someone I really could care for
Ant then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my hands would hold
I heard someone whisper please adore me
And when I looked the moon had turned to gold

Grandyma Fri 16-May-25 13:45:51

Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and proved untrue
Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
It was on a moonlit night
The stars were shinin' bright
And they whispered from on high
Your love has said goodbye

dayvidg Fri 16-May-25 16:34:04

Well, he walked up to me
And he asked me if I wanted to dance
He looked kinda nice
And so I said, "I might take a chance"
When he danced, he held me tight
And when he walked me home that night
All the stars were shinin' bright
And then he kissed me

65KL Sat 17-May-25 08:35:13

If you change your mind,I'm first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me let me know,gonna be around
If you got no place to go,if you feeling down
If your all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test ,if you let me try
Take a chance on me

crazyH Sat 17-May-25 09:54:43

Sugar
Oh, honey, honey
You are my candy girl
And you got me wanting you
Honey
Oh, sugar, sugar
You are my candy girl
And you got me wanting you
I just can't believe
The loveliness of loving you
I just can't believe it's true
I just can't believe
The wonder of this feeling, too
I just can't believe it's true
Ah, sugar
Oh, honey, honey
You are my candy girl
And you got me wanting you

I wanna live with a cinnamon girl
I could be happy the rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl
A dreamer of pictures, I run in the night
You see us together, chasing the moonlight
My cinnamon girl
10 silver saxes, a bass with a bow
The drummer relaxes and waits between shows
For his cinnamon girl

65KL Sat 17-May-25 23:56:14

Until Sally I was never happy
I needed so much more
Rain clouds ,ohh, they used to chase me
Down they would pour
Join my tears
Allay my fears

Sent to me from heaven
Sally Cinnamon your my world

Pop pop pop blow blow bubblegum
You taste like cherryade
There is something you must show me
From what you are made

Sugar and spice
And all things nice

Sent to me from heaven
Sally Cinnamon you are my world
You are my world

dayvidg Sun 18-May-25 14:56:24

Finished with my woman 'cause
She couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane because
I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things
But nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind
If I don't find something to pacify
Can you help me
Occupy my brain?
Oh yeah
I need someone to show me
The things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make
True happiness, I must be blind

65KL Fri 23-May-25 07:28:28

Help I need somebody
Help not just anybody
Help you know I need someone
Help
When I was younger so much younger than today
I never needed anyone's help in anyway
But now those days are gone and I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've changed my mind I've opened up the doors
Help me if you can I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please please help me

dayvidg Fri 23-May-25 19:39:44

Remember how we used to play, laughed and fought the days away,
But now those days are gone and I'm still fightin',
For the heart of my soul,
Summers never seem to last, childhood days are in the past,
But memories of you are still reflected,
In the heart of my soul
Heart of my soul, no hearts were breakin',
Heart of my soul, no lives were taken,
Our pockets are all lined with silver and gold,
In the heart of my soul

65KL Sat 24-May-25 08:21:50

I want to live
I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions
I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

dayvidg Sat 24-May-25 15:38:01

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on
So, tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin
