DISCONCERTED, DAZZLED & DAZED
If you'd asked me yesterday I'd have said a kiss was just a kiss
No way a kiss could leave me feeling quite like this
Like I'm stranded on the moon
Disconcerted, dazzled and dazed
Just one reckless moment, one hot sultry look
One unguarded instant, that's all it took
To leave me staggered and amazed
Disconcerted, dazzled and dazed
Black is white and day is night
I don't know what to do
Birds fly, yeah and & so do i
And it's all because of you
But you won't hear me complaining
About the passion or the pain
You make me feel like laughing naked in the rain
And I kind of like that feeling
Disconcerted, dazzled & dazed

THE LOVING TREE
There's a place in the valley, down by the river
That's always been special to me
It's a place that I go to when I'm feeling blue
And your memory is calling to me
Down by the old loving tree
Whenever I go there I know that you'll be there
The leaves seem to whisper your name
And I feel you beside me like it used to be
Under the old loving tree
Under the old loving tree
Under the old loving tree
Where our love we would swear
Carefree young lovers
We danced just like leaves in the air
Laughing & so sure of just what the future would be
Yeah life was so simple down there by the old loving tree
Twisted by fortune & parted by fate
I wonder was this meant to be?
But in times of trouble my heart keeps on leading me
Back to that sweet mystery
That we found 'neath the old loving tree
Under the old loving tree
Where our love we would swear
Carefree young lovers
We danced just like leaves in the air
Laughing & so sure of just what the future would be
Yeah life was so simple down there by the old loving tree

AS LONG AS I GOT MY GAL
Who cares if the stars fall from the sky
I don't care if the sun no longer shines
Long as I got my gal I'm doing fine
You can keep that mansion on the hill
The high life don't give me no great thrill
Long as I got my gal I got my fill
Just look at those long legs
Don't that take your breath away?
One flash of those green eyes & brother I'm gone to stay
Get a load of that hip sway...
Look at those miles of smiles
Look at that... look at that... look at that...look at that, that's my gal
I got all...all that I could wish for
If I could wish upon a star
I'm sitting up on top of the world buddy
Long as I got my gal
I got no time for those old sad songs you know
'Cos I got no raining in my heart
And there's no such thing as the blues buddy
As long as I got my gal

Waltzin' in the Water

WALTZIN' IN THE WATER
Waltzin' in the water down on Comox Lake
Me and my best gal
Waltzin' in a world of our own as far as we could tell
Oh how the time did fly there beneath the blue
As the sun shone down on me and you in Canada
And we walked along the lakeshore, drinkin' in the view
No-one else for miles around there was only me and you
And we feasted on each other and I hungered for your touch
And we couldn't get enough, no we couldn't get enough
And oh... how your eyes did shine
And oh....it touched me way deep down
And every time I dream of you
We're waltzin' in that lake so blue
Next thing we were waking up in London town
The skies were grey and the leaves all brown
People walking round with their eyes cast down
To the ground ... here in London town
So I slip back 'neath the covers and I slowly count to ten
Close my eyes and picture it just like it was back then
When the sky went on forever and the air was filled with laughter
And the sun shone down from up above like gold upon the water
And I dream, I dream of you
Yes I dream, of you
And every time I dream of you
I dream we're waltzin' in that lake so blue
I dreamed we was waltzin' in the water....
Waltzin' in the water
Laughing in the water
Drownin' in the laughter
Rollin' over and over.
Arms around each other
Makin' love in the water
Sweet love in the water
And oh, how your eyes did shine
And oh, it touched me way deep down
And darling' when I dream of you
I dream we're waltzin' in that lake so blue

WINTER
It's cold outside ...Lord I hate to see the summer go
I can't stand to see the whole world covered up with snow
And 'round about fall, down south is where I want to go
Believe me when I tell you, I hate winter
I like walking round mornings in nothing but an old t-shirt
Watch the girls parade around town in their short, short skirts
I like skin that's brown from the sun
I like cherry red leather in the back seat fun
And driving round town in my car with the rag-top down
'Cos I love sunshine, I hate to see the summer go
I can't thank the lord enough for not making me an eskimo
I never want to see a polar bear
A silver fox or an arctic hare
And wild horses wouldn't drag me there 'cos I hate winter
Now the only kind of frost that i ever want to see is on a birthday cake
And ice is good for crushing down with liquor for a cocktail shake
And icicles are twicicles as nicicicles pictured on an old postcard
But I don't want to see 'em here in my back yard
When it freezes outside & the car won't start
And that icy cold finger lingers on your heart
And the long-range forecast on the T.V. says it looks like snow
That’s when I'm packing my bags & my suntan oil
I'm heading off looking for some sun-kissed soil
Where peaches will grow
Maybe somewhere like Mexico
Anywhere baby where the cold wind don't blow
'Cos I hate winter

I Will If You Will

I WILL IF YOU WILL
When things get crazy, out of control
Lord knows it's hard to stay cool
Nobody wants to be making the first move
Nobody wants to feel like a fool
But if we're gonna find a way to survive
Somebody's got to give in
And would it be so hard to swallow your pride?
Heaven knows it won't be easy
But I will if you will, I know you love me still
And I know you won't leave me blue
We both said it was over this time
But what say we give it one more try
Well I will if you will, I know you love me still
And I know you won't leave me blue
It sure is hard in these situations
To know what to do
And I appreciate it's a novel sensation for you
To stand here in my shoes
I'm asking you to keep the faith and it's hard
When you got so much to lose
But I know you can find the courage somewhere
Though heaven knows it won't be easy
But I will if you will, ‘cos I know you love me still
And I know you won't leave me blue

SHE DON'T RUN AS FAST AS SHE USED TO
She don't run as fast as she used to
She's sick and tired of life just passing by
And she don't hide in dark dusty corners
She's got that reckless hungry look there in her eye
She never needed more then I could give her
And everything I did by her was fine
No other guy could ever come between us
'Cos she'd run away from any other love that wasn't mine
Now she don't run as fast as she used to
She's sick and tired of life just passing by
And she don't hide in dark dusty corners
She's got that reckless hungry look there in her eye
She's had enough, pretending that she's happy
Spending nights at home alone, crying
But now will she run to the arms of a stranger
Used to be she'd run away from any other arms but mine
Now she don't run as fast as she used to
She's sick and tired of life just passing by
And she don't hide in dark dusty corners
She's got that reckless hungry look there in her eye
‘Cos she's restless and she's weary
And time keeps slipping by
She's got that reckless hungry look there in her eye

TIME AND AGAIN
Time and again I fall... time and again I lose
That's just the way it goes
I've been there ..heaven knows
But I never seem to learn, each time I get my fingers burned
I still get taken in.... time and time again
You'd think I'd know by now
You'd think I'd change somehow
But my faith in love is strong... and it keeps me hanging on
And though I've been burned before
Still I'm not keeping score
I keep coming back for more... time and time again.......
Making those same mistakes, getting the same bad breaks
Misery for old times sakes...
Is all I can buy

THIS CLOSE TO HEAVEN
Just tell me that it's over
Don't tell me how you love me so
Don't tell me how it really hurts you
Don't tell me, I don't want to know
Don't tell me that you're sorry
'Cos I've heard it all before
I've heard it each and every heartbreaking time
That you walked out the door
And I don't want to hear it anymore
From the first time that I saw you
There's been a part of you that's always out of reach
Some secret little place where the shadows hide your face
And I could never stray
But I still love you anyway
But I can't go on living this close to heaven
So near but so far away
Your tender mercies are tearing me up.
And I've just got to get away
Darling ...please don't stand in my way
I guess nobody's ever really hurt you
So you don't know how it feels
It's just like tangling with a freight-train
And going down beneath the wheels ‘cos that's exactly how it feels....
But you've got no imagination
And that's the kindest thing that I can think to say
I hope it never comes to you
May your skies be always blue, may they never turn to grey
But that's not for me to say
If it's over, it's over
Let it down easy and let it go
We've been hurting each other for too long
So darling let it go
'Cos I can't go on living this close to heaven
So near but so far away
Your tender mercies are tearing me up and I've just got to get away...
Darling ...please don't stand in my way

WHO'S SHE ROCKIN' TONIGHT?
Have you seen my baby she’s 'bout 5 feet seven
I swear she came here straight from heaven
Have you seen my baby? (have you seen my baby?)
Have you seen my baby? Who's my baby rockin' tonight? ..
Who's she rockin’? Who's she rockin' ?
Who's she rockin? Who's my baby rockin' tonight?
Dances like a cat on a hot tin roof
She can boogie all night that's the gospel truth
She likes good rockin' ( she likes good rockin' )
She likes good rockin' ( yeah she likes good rockin' )
She's a forest fire when she gets that beat
Shimmy up close you can feel the heat
Yeah.. I miss my baby? Have you seen my baby tonight ?
Who's she rockin’? Who's she rockin' ?
Who's she rockin? Who's my baby rockin' tonight?
She makes blue jeans look like a work of art
Legs so long they could stop your heart
She can drive you crazy ( drive you crazy )
She can drive you crazy ( she can drive you crazy )
She drives everybody crazy but she's the most
She likes to be buttered like a piece of toast
Yeah... I miss my baby
Have you seen my baby tonight ?
Who's she rockin’? Who's she rockin' ?
Who's she rockin? Who's my baby rockin' tonight?
She's the exception that proves the rule
Butter wouldn't melt she's nobody's fool
Yeah... that' my baby ( that's my baby )
She can drive you crazy (she can drive you crazy )
Have you seen my baby? Who's my baby rockin' tonight?
Who's she rockin’? Who's she rockin' ?
Who's she rockin? Who's my baby rockin' tonight?
She's in a hell of a hurry most of the time
Takin' it slow is a downright crime
She likes good rockin' ( she like's good rockin' )
She likes good rockin' (Yeah she like's good rockin' )
'Less you're talking 'bout you know what
Then slow can get heavy when things get hot
Yeah.. I miss my baby
Have you seen my baby tonight?
Who's she rockin’? Who's she rockin' ?
Who's she rockin? Who's my baby rockin' tonight?

TROUBLED TIMES
Lord I know the way can be rough
And I'm not so sure that my faith's strong enough
Temptation's waiting around every bend
Lord won't you reach out and lend me a hand
Show me a light in the darkness
And I'll follow wherever it shines
'Cos I need you beside me
In these troubled times
Seems I always get caught in two minds
One foot forward, one dragging behind
One eye on salvation, one eye on the door
And I've come unstuck at this crossroads before
And I'm tired of running from shadows
Hustling for nickels and dimes
I need you beside me
In these troubled times
I've drifted away from the light
Fled into the darkness like a thief in the night
Like a shadow that runs from the breaking of day
My courage deserted me, melted away
And I'm tired of running from shadows
Hustling for nickels and dimes
I need you beside me
In these troubled times

HERE WE ARE
I don't know how things got so far
Somehow it all seems so bizarre
But here we are...
Lining up across that battle line
We nailed our love up to a cross
And watched it wither while we tossed away
Those very precious things that we once held so dear
How can it be? I'll never know
How love could suffer such a blow
But here we are
Though lovers once, it seems so long ago
And while we watched it slip away
Somehow it got too late to say
I'm sorry for those hurtful things I never meant to say
I can't believe we'd let this thing be over
Not after all that we've been through
I can't believe a love so strong
Could turn around and go so wrong
But there it is...
And darling here we are
