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

Grandyma Sun 28-Dec-25 10:29:24

Every night I sit here by my window (Window)
Staring at the lonely avenue (Avenue)
Watching lovers holding hands and laughing (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

Do right, use your head
Everybody must be fed
Get together, break your bread
Yes, together, that's what I said
Do what you like

Don't fight, use your head
It's all right every night
Do what you like, that's what I said
Everybody must be fed
Do what you like

Grandyma Fri 26-Dec-25 23:33:49

Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to?
Do you know?
Do you get what you're hoping for?
When you look behind you, there's no open doors
What are you hoping for?
Do you know?

Do you know the way to San Jose
I've been away so long
I may go wrong and lose my way
Do you know the way to San Jose
I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose

He's leaving
Leaving
On that midnight train to Georgia
Leaving On the midnight train
Said he's going back
Going back to find
To a simpler place and time, oh yes he is
Whenever he's taking the ride , guess who's gonna be by his side
I'll be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in his world
Live in his world
Then live without him in mine

Grandyma Wed 24-Dec-25 22:22:42

Tonight, I celebrate my love for you
And soon, this old world will seem brand new
Tonight, we will both discover
How friends turn into lovers
When I make love to you
Tonight, I celebrate my love for you (ooh)
And the midnight sun is gonna come shining through (oh-oh)
Tonight there'll be no distance between us
What I want most to do is to get close to you

dayvidg Wed 24-Dec-25 16:57:39

Should I try to hide
The way I feel inside
My heart for you?

Would you say that you
Would try to love me too?

In your mind
Could you ever be
Really close to me?

I can tell the way you smile
If I feel that I
Could be certain then
I would say the things I want to say tonight

But 'til I can see
That you'd really care for me
I will dream
That someday you'll be
Really close to me

I can tell the way you smile
If I feel that I
Could be certain then
I would say the things I want to say tonight

But 'til I can see
That you'd really care for me
I'll keep trying to hide
The way I feel inside

Grandyma Wed 24-Dec-25 15:48:48

Ooh, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Ooh, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside
After a while, we run under a tree
I turn to her and she kisses me
There with the beat of the rain on the leaves
Softly she breathes and I close my eyes
Sharing our love under stormy skies
Ooh, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Ooh, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside

Shiny happy people laughing

Meet me in the crowd people, people
Throw your love around love me ,love me
Take it into town happy , happy
Put it in the ground whete flowers grow
Gold and silver shine

Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing

Need someone's hand to lead me through the night
I need someone's arms to hold and squeeze me tight
Now, when the night begins, I'm at an end
Because I need your love so bad

I need some lips to feel next to mine
Need someone to stand up and tell me when I'm lyin'
And when the lights are low - and it's time to go
That's when I need your love so bad

Grandyma Thu 18-Dec-25 14:36:56

Ooh I need your love babe,
Guess you know it's true.
Hope you need my love babe,
Just like I need you.
Hold me, love me, hold me, love me.
Ain't got nothin' but love babe,
Eight days a week.

Covered by the blind belief
That fantasies of sinful screens
Bear the facts, assume the dye
End the vows no need to lie, enjoy
Take a ride, take a shot now
'Cause nobody loves me
It's true
Not like you do

Who am I, what and why?
'Cause all I have left
Is my memories of yesterday
Oh, these sour times
'Cause nobody loves me
It's true
Not like you do

Grandyma Thu 11-Dec-25 22:10:55

Stay with me
And we shall let expression sing
(Keep freedom's virtues ringin')
Can't you hear 'em ringin'? (Ringin', ringin')
Oh, oh, oh (Memories of yesterday)
Yesterday's broken dreams
Don't you know they'll all fade away

If you'll come up the ladder to the roof
Where we can see heaven much better
Come up the ladder to the roof
Where we can be, oh (Where we can be)
Closer to heaven

I was walking around, just a face in the crowd
Trying to keep myself out of the rain
Saw a vagabond king wear a Styrofoam crown
Wondered if I might end up the same
There's a man out on the corner
Singing old songs about change
Everybody got their cross to bare, these days

She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams
To a motel room on the boulevard
I guess she's trying to be James Dean
She's seen all the disciples and all the wannabes
No one wants to be themselves these days
Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days

These days, the stars seem out of reach
These days, there ain't a ladder on these streets
These days, are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless age
There ain't nobody left but us these days

Grandyma Wed 10-Dec-25 20:30:23

And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight?
How it's laid to rest
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

65KL Wed 10-Dec-25 17:25:10

Fire away
If you really want to stay
Together we will make a life
That will brighten up the night
Baby it fools the sun
When you say you feel the love
So let me have all you got
We can keep the fire hot
If you want to store the embers to flame
Fire away

Well, you're the real tough cookie with the long history
Of breaking little hearts, like the one in me
That's okay, let's see how you do it
Put up your dukes, let's get down to it
Hit me with your best shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away

Grandyma Tue 09-Dec-25 09:50:33

In the deserts of Sudan
And the gardens of Japan
From Milan to Yucatan
Every woman, every man
Hit me with your rhythm stick
Hit me, hit me!
Je t'adore, ich liebe dich
Hit me, hit me, hit me!
Hit me with your rhythm stick
Hit me slowly, hit me quick
Hit me, hit me, hit me!

Lady, you keep asking why he likes you how come
Wonder why he wants more if he's just had some
Boys, she's got more to play with in the way of toys
Lady's eyes go off and on with a finger full of glue
Lips are drawn upon her face in come-to-me tattoo
Creamy suntan color that fades when she bathes
Paper dresses catch on fire and you lose her in the haze
Don't ever change lady, he likes you that way
Because he's just had his hair done and he wants to use your wig
He's going off the drug thing 'cause his veins are getting big
He wants to sell his paintings but the market is slow
They're only paying him two grams now
For a one-man abstract show
Don't ever change people even if you can
You are your own best toy to play with, remote control hands
Made for each other
Made in Japan

They took the whole Cherokee nation
Put us on this reservation
Took away our ways of life
The tomahawk and the bow and knife
Took away our native tongue
And taught their English to our young
And all the beads we made by hand
Are nowadays made in Japan
Cherokee people Cherokee tribe
So proud to live so proud to die

Roll up roll up for the Mystery Tour
Roll up roll up for the Mystery Tour
Roll up
That's an invitation
Roll up for the Mystery Tour
Roll up
To make a reservation
Roll up for the Mystery Tour
The Magical Mystery Tour
Is waiting to take you away
Waiting to take you away

The lunatics have taken over the asylum
Take away my right to choose
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
Take away my point of view
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
Take away my dignity
Take these things away from me
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
Take away my family
Take awaythe right to speak
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
Take away my point of view
Take away my right to choose

The lunatic is on the grass.
The lunatic is on the grass.
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs.
Got to keep the loonies on the path.

The lunatic is in the hall.
The lunatics are in my hall.
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more.

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

Grandyma Thu 04-Dec-25 15:37:45

It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If'n you don't know by now
And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It'll never do somehow
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm a-traveling on
But don't think twice, it's all right
And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
But I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
But we never did too much talking anyway
But don't think twice, it's all right

Her hair is Harlow gold
Her lips sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll turn the music on you
You won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow
She's got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precious, and she knows just
What it takes to make you blush
She's got Greta Garbo standoff sighs
She's got Bette Davis eyes
