Its Going To Take Some Time

Its going to take some time this time
To get myself in shape
I really fell out-of line this time
I really missed the gate
The birds on the telephone line (next time)
Are cryin out to me (next time)
And I wont be so blind next time
And Ill find some harmony
But its going to take some time this time
And I cant make demands
But like the young trees in the wintertime
Ill learn how to bend
(*) after all the tears weve spent
How could we make amends
So its one more round for experience
And Im on the road again
And its going to take some time this time
And I cant make demands
Ill learn how to bend
Its going to take some time this time

Goodbye And I Love You

(see corrected lyrics in parentheses below)
I have something to tell you
And i know it won't be easy
I've been thinking these past few days
It might be time to leave
You're like a stranger
Then you're a lover
Never the same
Always hard to believe
(*) i'm caught between goodbye and i love you
Never knowing quite where i stand
I'm caught between goodbye and i love you
Falling both ways nowhere to land
So constantly stranded
I can't understant it
(understand)
This double life you've handed me
Is like the devil and the deep blue sea
If we go on much longer
If my doubts grow any stronger

Hurting Each Other

No one in the world
Ever had a love as sweet as my love
For nowhere in the world
Could there be a boy as true as you love
All my love
I give gladly to you
All your love
You give gladly to me
Tell me why then
Oh why should it be that
(*) we go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why
Closer than the leaves
On a weepin willow baby we are
Closer dear are we
Than the simple letters a and b are
All my life

Sweet, Sweet Smile

(*) youre always in my heart
From early in the mornin til its dark
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile everyday
When I wake up in the mornin
And I see you there
I always whisper a little prayer
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile everyday
(**) I gotta know that you love me
And that you want me
And that youll always be there
Ive gotta know that you care
(***) and I gotta feel your arms around me
And that you need me
And that youll always be there
Ive gotta know that you care
If my times are bringin me down
Youre the only one that I want around
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile everyday
And if Im all strung out
Youre the only one who can straighten me out

Kiss Me The Way You Did Last Night

Serenade me by the light of the moon,
Lets sing and dance as lovers do
When the morning light shines down on me
With you, my love I want to be
As the stars go sailin by
We can count them you and i
We can make a wish when one falls from the sky
And my only wish would be
That forever I would see
You movin thru the darkness smiling that way at me
(*) kiss me the way you did last, night
Lay down beside me, holdin me tight
Kiss me the way you did last night,
Tonight until the morning light
Celebrate love while the feeling is new
Its a moment that was meant for me and you
If tomorrow never comes I wont care,
Ill just love you tonight and all we share...
Repeat (*)
Tonight, tonight and every night

Little Altar Boy

Little alter boy, I wonder could you pray for me?
Little alter boy, for I have gone astray
What must I do to be holy like you?
Little alter boy ,oh, let me hear you pray
Little alter boy, I wonder could you ask your lord
Ask him, alter boy, to take my sins away
What must I do to be holy like you?
Little alter boy, oh, let me hear you pray
Lift up your voice and send a pray above
Help me rejoice and fill that prayer with love
Now I know my life has been all wrong
Lift my your voice and help a sinner be strong
Little alter boy, I wonder could you pry for me?
Could you tell our lord Im gonna change my ways today?
What must I do to be holy like you?
Little alter boy, oh, let me hear you pray
Little alter boy please let me hear you pray!

Crystal Lullaby

Listen to the song he sings
Cant you see his music brings her
Crystal sleep
As her heavy eyelids fall
Hes taking her to where the dolls
Rule the world
And in that land of make believe
Is where hell leave her sleeping
Softly warm
In a crystal lullaby
Hes weaving her a paper castle
Where dancing clowns with tassels made of fur
Welcome her into their world
That lives inside the dreams
Of every little girl
Shes guarded by a brave tin soldier
Sitting on her shoulder
Taken there
In a crystal lullaby
Sometimes when I listen to

In Love Alone

I memorize the words I want to say
I practice every move Ill make
I polay the scene like you were here
And I feel every breath you take
But all my plans just seem to melt away
The moment you walk in the room
I try to speak but words wont come
Till Im alone again
Im leaving my heart on the shelf
Sleep is a place I only cry myself
And dream by myself
(*) Im not in love alone
We put our two hearts together
Just like Ive always known
Once we begin were forever
And I will never spend a long night
Without you again
So now you know what Ive been going through
Now all I really need to know
Is why your eyes look so surprised

Mr. Guder

Mr. guder
Say! mr. guder
May i have a moment with you
Because there is something i've got to say
And please don't let it scare you away
Mr. guder
Say! mr. guder
I have seen you go through a day
You're everything a robot lives for
Walk in at 9 and roll out the door at 5
(*) you reflect the company image
You maintain their rules to live by
Shine your shoes let's keep a neat haircut
Now that you're wearing a coat and tie
Mr. guder
Say! mr. guder
Some day soon may realize
You spend your life just playing a game
Where no ones wins but everyone stays the same
Repeat (*)

Christmas Song

All through the year
Weve waited
Waited through spring and fall
To hear silver bells ringing
See winter time bringing
The happiest season of all
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jackfrost nippin at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Will help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes of a glow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
(*) they know that santas on his way
Hes loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mothers child is going to spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
(**) and so Im offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
