bookmark_borderJust Say (The Word)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
When a push comes to shove
As it usually does
Things get 1) nasty 2) ugly
Hold my beer
Give a nudge
And, I won’t hold a grudge
Let’s get friendly
Please don’t hesitate
Oh no don’t ever wait
Call any time of day
… I’m on my way!
The word, just say

The word I think of
Undoubtedly love
Rings yours truly
With cheer
Give it all
Clear the castle wall
Hearts sing freely
Please don’t hesitate
Oh no don’t ever wait
Call any time of day
… I’m on my way!
The word, just say

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
It’s time to get out
And shake it about
The love within
The love within
It will multiply
Give it a try
The love within
Get it out?
If you’re ever in doubt
You can get it out
Sure hope to never forget
The more you give
The more you get
Plan the route
To get it out
Oh please don’t ever forget
The more you give
The more you get

2. Why not get it out
And spread it about
The love within
Keep on diggin’
It’s sure to grow
If the light you show
The love within
Spread it out

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I think I love you
Always there with something new/knew
Enlightened point-of-view
Bearing fruit strong to the root
I’m going out on a limb
… I am

Love for a day
Can’t take it away
In the dreams we keep
While we sleep

I think I love you
Always know what things to do
Enlighten with a clue
Branching out without a doubt
I’m going out on a limb
… I am

Love for a day
Can’t take it away
In the dreams we keep
While we sleep

LYRICS
Jump and shout
Let it out
Tell them what it’s all about
(It’s all about)

If you’re looking to find love
Look below or look above
(It’s all about)
Toward the left. Toward the right.
We’ve got a lot of love in sight
(It’s all about)
Open up your door some more
How much love can you store?

Jump and shout
Let it out
Tell them what it’s all about

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Try to whip it
Try to whip it up good
Try to whip it
I know that I should
Try to whip it
If the whole world would
Let’s equip it
You know we could
Try to whip it
Try to whip it up good
Try to whip it
I know that I should
In the code of…
… the code of love

In a sheer
Lack of attack
Give their hearts an attack
In the code of…
… the code of love

bookmark_borderThe Late Late

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Do you think it’s really the best
To go stirring a hornets’ nest
Do you?
Thus, I must confess
Off to dance
With the devil in the blue dress
(Devil with the blue dress on)
Blew my chance
Going to see my soul for the love of rock n’ roll
At any rate
Reincarnate
“The Late”
Late

Do you think it’s really the best
To go stirring a hornets’ nest
Do you?
Now I thought it through
Gonna tell you what I’m going to do
All along the way
Gonna give my love away
I say:
At any rate
Reincarnate
“The Late”
Late

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Out on the way
Sun brightened the day
Now all I can say
“Everything will be OK!”

When I saw your smile
Lost my mind for a while
That long black hair…
Forgive me if I stare?

The way that you giggle
Throwin’ in a lil’ wiggle
When I have my choice
Listen to your voice

I’m putty in your hand
Hope you’ll understand
When you make the heart melt
I know it’s heart felt

bookmark_borderYour Affection

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The building of suspension
Amongst the growing tension
… don’t let it lessen
Your affection
What we need now more than ever —
Love
Today, somehow
Hearts get clever
Hearts get together
Love
Believe it or not
One day your heart will stop
Until such a time
Going to keep mining mine
Not a matter “of”
Gonna keep diggin’ love

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Come on lately
Getting freaky
Come on really
Lost your heart’s key?
Come on maybe
Come on I plea
Part with the key

The key to start your heart

Common ground
In the sound
Can be found
Come on round
Hear what we’ll see
In your heart’s key
… key to your heart
The key to start your heart

The three words
You can say to me
My heart’s true

bookmark_borderYour Burning Question

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Love is the answer
To your burning question
And so much more
You’ll be the dancer
I’ll take your suggestion
We’ll end all war
Their guns and bombs
They will not miss
If you replace with a kiss
No death, destruction?
They’ll just shrug
If you replace with a hug

Love is the answer
To your burning question
And so much more
You’ll be the dancer
I’ll take your suggestion
We’ll end all war
Slings and arrows
Miss by a mile
Once they see your loving smile
Hate succumbs
… is on the flee
Once they see what can be

bookmark_borderAbout Love

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Slipped, tripped, and tricked
Into love again
I swore I wouldn’t be singing
About love again
I swore I wouldn’t be singing
Another love song
What went wrong?

At least this time around
At least this time I’ve found
It’s not me falling

Don’t get me wrong
I love love when the love is good
When the love is good
I’d sing it if I could

Slipped, tripped, and tricked
Into love again
I swore I wouldn’t be singing
About love again
I swore I wouldn’t be singing
Another love song
What went wrong?

bookmark_borderEveryday Every Day Love

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If I pull back
Expand my view
Take a look from way above
Nothing I lack
To make it through
So that there is everyday love
Everyday love
Every day love

If I lean in
Sharpen my view
Listen to the voice above
It is within
To make it true
And bring on the everyday love
Everyday love
Every day love

bookmark_borderMistletoe?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I didn’t know
That there’d be mistletoe
Now you mention it
I’d love to go
If we’re lucky
It might start to snow
Spectacle
Of Mother Nature’s show
Then, maybe we should spend the night
Snuggle up tight
By firelight
Think maybe we should spend the night?
Snuggle up tight
By firelight

I didn’t know
That there’d be presents, too
Now you mention it
Love to see you
They say the temperature
Might drop real low
Spectacle
Of an icicle show
Then, maybe we should spend the night
Snuggle up tight
By firelight
Think maybe we should spend the night?
Snuggle up tight
By firelight

I didn’t know
That she’d be there
Now you mention it
I’ve love to share
If we’re lucky
It might start to snow
After all
I’ve nowhere else to go
Then, maybe we should spend the night
Snuggle up tight
By firelight
Think maybe we should spend the night?
Snuggle up tight
By firelight
Think maybe we should spend the night?

bookmark_borderChristmas Valentine

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I’d travel through the snow
Oh, the lengths I’d go
Only heaven could know
To what lengths I’d go
To find a Christmas Valentine

Uncharted boat I’d stow
Oh, the lengths I’d go
Only heaven could know
To what lengths I’d go
To find a Christmas Valentine

Paddle against the flow
Oh, the lengths I’d go
Only heaven could know
To what lengths I’d go
To find a Christmas Valentine

I’d search both high and low
Oh, the lengths I’d go
Only heaven could know
To what lengths I’d go
To find a Christmas Valentine

[Under the tree…
… waiting for me]
