Gotta Start Somewhere

Oh take me back to the days and the nights we had all February
Time on our hands and nothing much better to do
You’ve gotta start somewhere
And anywhere is everywhere
Day after day of staying up way past midnight
Drinking tequila and hoping for a little spark
You say it’s not too late
And everything else can wait
Thoughts in my mind so much I didn’t tell you
I couldn’t find the words I had to say
Singing is believing
And dreaming is sweetening
You’ve got to start somewhere
You may as well start there
Oh take me back to the days and the nights we had all February
Time on our hands and nothing much better to do
You’ve gotta start somewhere
And anywhere is everywhere
Dreaming is believing
You may as well start there

Old Shoes

Some people let go of things
I would never to any such thing
I hold on and so do you
A little bit worn it may be true
We may not be beautiful but we're inseparable
Just like a pair old shoes
I don't mind it when you take me for granted
In a certain way it's sort of romantic
“Cause one of my greatest luxuries
Is counting on your company
So dependable and true
Just like a pair of old shoes
We've been through all kinds of weather
Think of all the steps we've taken together
I may not be shiny and new
But I'm the one that fits you
We polish up nice for a night on the town
But we're both so happy just sticking around
You're my lucky number my lucky star
And my favorite place is wherever you are
It's beautiful we're inseparable
Just like a pair old shoes
We've been through all kinds of weather
Think of all the steps we've taken together
I may not be shiny and new
But I'm the one that fits you
Some people let go of things
I would never to any such thing
I hold on and so do you
A little bit worn it may be true
But it's beautiful we're inseparable
Just like a pair old shoes

So I mixed my intuition
With some numbers and a rabbit's foot or two
How about you
I made a big production
From my imagination
It's what I do
How about you
And when the night is over
And I don't want it to be through
I'm keeping my door open
Oh won't you please keep on doing what you do
Crazy eights and hearts and kisses
You know I love what this is when you do
How about you
In your fields and in your flowers
In your flying tender hours I'll be true
How about you
And when the night is over
And I don't want it to be through
I'm keeping my door open
Oh won't you please keep on doing what you do
Spring is coming
And it’s time for me to get back to my roots
How about you
Some days are heavy lifting
But the end is a beginning and it's new
Isn't that true
And when the night is over
And I don't want it to be through
I'm keeping my door open
Oh won't you please keep on doing what you do
Doing what you do
Doing what you do
Doing what you do

Mr. Moon

Well hello there Mr. Moon
Have you come to hang around
I know you’re the kind of guy
Who’d never let me down
Looking good so big and so round
In your golden dressing gown
I want to kiss and hold you tight
But you’re floating right up into the sky
Mr Moon Moon Moon Moon even though you’re far away
I love I love I love it when you shine your light my way
And I ain’t saving up nothing for a rainy day
Cause you’re just the guy to take my blues away
Maybe I can hitch a ride on a kite
If you’re really made of cheese I’d like to try a bite
I’m going to bring a present for you
On a sugar spoon
Mr Moon Moon Moon Moon even though you’re far away
I love I love I love it when you shine your light my way
And I ain’t saving up nothing for a rainy day
Cause you’re just the guy to take my blues away
You’re up there with a halo of stars
I’m down here in my dented old car
Looking for a bridge or a road to where you are
Mr Moon Moon Moon Moon even though you’re far away
I love I love I love it when you shine your light my way
And I ain’t saving up nothing for a rainy day
Cause you’re just the guy to take my blues away
You’re just the guy to take my blues away
You’re just the guy to take my blues away

Blue Guitar

Wishing on a star
Hanging on a moon
I’ll keep on waiting till my waiting days are through
When I play my blue guitar
When I dance from room to room
And everything goes shimmering
Dreaming of the night with you
Got a crystal jar
And a silver spoon
When the light on them is sparkling
It reminds me of you
When I play my blue guitar
When I dance from room to room
And everything goes shimmering
Dreaming of the night with you
Dreaming of the night with you
Dreaming of the night

Ready For You
03:01
|

I'll get ready if you'll get ready
And I'll be waiting for you
I've been waiting and you've been waiting
And we both know what to do
We'll go across the river
We'll go dancing in town
I'm just waiting for you to come around
I've been thinking and I've been sleeping
And I've been dreaming of you
You're so ready and you're so steady
And you're so warm and true
I'll be there in the morning I'll be waiting at noon
Anytime you come a calling I'm ready for you
Springtime is peaking round the bend
And so is my long lost friend
The stars may not align it's true
But that's not stopping you
If you are ready I'll get ready
And I'll know what to do
Just be steady not too heavy
And send out a smile or two
I'll be there in the morning I'll be waiting at noon
Anytime you come a calling I'm ready for you
I'm ready for you

I'm Over That
03:27
|
|||
I felt my jealous
Like a heart attack
Everything was black
I was an angry cat
Got so mad
I couldn't think
Make a big loud stink
When you didn't blink
But I'm over that, I'm over that
You can be the way you are
If I'm not near, well then I'm far
Far away as I can be
And I'll just go and see somebody else
And if there's nobody else
Well, I'll just see myself
Dressed myself up in an old torn shirt
And I felt so hurt
I was a lonely bird
But I'm over that, I'm over that
You can be the way you are
If I'm not near, well then I'm far
Far away as I can be
And I'll just go and see somebody else
And if there's nobody else
Well, I'll just see myself
I'll stand up straight
I'll stay out late
I'll fill my plate
With figs and dates
And I won't wait
For you
I'm over that I'm over that
Oooh, mmmhmn, mmhmn…
I'm over that, I'm over that
I'm over that
