ROLLIN’ DOWN THE ROAD

Goin’ down state in a ’55 doin’ 55 straight through

White rag-top on candy apple red

Had a Hollywood 292 4-barrel

Lightin’ up a fag to a classical rag that’s a’rockin’ on the radio

You can’t imagine what a time we were havin’

Navigatin’ on our own

REFRAIN:

• No time to think about timin’
• Rollin’ and a’rollin’ and a’rollin’………
• Rollin’ and a’rollin’ and a’rollin’………down the road.

It was just us cruisin’……..just us cruisin’

Lookin’ at this and that….makin’ jokes, chewin’ fat

Lookin’ through the wrap-around

Just us cruisin’

REFRAIN

Our destination was to see some relations

Down in Yellow Springs Ohio

Rolled into town, it was late afternoon

Gee, the weather sure was cold

Sittin’ down talkin’ to a cousin or two

Makin’ plans for a night on the town

Went to a sock hop and then to a party

Really makin’ the rounds

REFRAIN

It was just us cruisin’……..just us cruisin’

What a day…on our way…down the road…goin’ home

Laughin’ at the things we did

Just us cruisin’

REFRAIN

WORTH THE WAIT

Seems like a long time, since you’ve been here

It’s been almost two days…. give or take a year

Time goes by….. I’m not sure why

But, I do know you’ll be back here some day

Another season comes and it goes

Seems like forever sometimes….. but, I never know

Days may come, and years may pass away

But your presence, forever,  will stay

You make it worth the wait

REFRAIN:

• I’ve heard people say
• “It’ll never be…surely you’ll see”
• But, that won’t discourage me
• I’ll see that day, when you come to stay, and they’ll see

REFRAIN

It’s been a long time, yeah, but only the age

And I’m getting’ younger these days

As we turn another page

I can’t wait to see how happy we’ll be

When the time goes, and you come back this way

You make it worth the wait

You make it worth the wait

You make it worth the wait

THE STORM

Listen up everyone, everybody listen, listen up every one

Listen up everyone, everybody listen, listen up every one

You should know that there’s a storm brewin’ up

It’s waitin’ right outside

And don’t ya know that you can do what you want

But you’re never gonna run and hide out this time

Listen up everyone, everybody listen, listen up every one

Listen up everyone, everybody listen, listen up every one

You’ve been thinkin’ that a storm is alright

It never gets inside

But when you see this comin’ pray for your life

‘Cause no shelter’s ever gonna hold back this one…no !

Listen up everyone, everybody listen, listen up every one

Listen up everyone, everybody listen, listen up every one

Don’t ever say that you were never aware

That this was gonna be

‘Cause it was written down a long time ago

That the time is gettin’ shorter right up ‘til the end

I’ll BE WITH YOU

Quiet now, the storm has passed

And I am by your side

When you awake….Reach out your hand

Put it into mine

Ease your aching heart and let your troubles fade

Rest your weary eyes and dream

And as the darkness passes on, don’t be afraid

I will never, never leave

I’ll be with you

Fly away beyond your dreams

Find there what you will

When you find me, you’ll want my love

You shall have your fill

Cling to me and we will never be apart

You will always feel at home

And, if you really trust in me deep in your heart

You will never be alone

I’ll be with you

Live in me…I’ll live in you

And, we will make our way

Don’t look back on times you had

Come with me and stay

Let me be a part of everything you are

And, I will show to you my love

All the happiness that’s written in the stars

Is what our love will be made of

I’ll be with you

I love you

TIME TO GO TO BED

Watch the sun as it fades away so silently for tonight

And the twinkling of the stars as they shine their light so bright

REFRAIN 1:

• Time to go to bed
• You’ve gotta a big day tomorrow
• Lay down your head, and dream

Now I know that you must close your eyes and try to go to sleep

And you really should be dreaming when you know you’re still awake

REFRAIN 1

REFRAIN 2:

• Piggy-back rides, and carnival horses
• Chocolate bars, and a wishing well,
• Kitty cats paws, and Oliver Wendell,
• I’m as snug as a bug in a rug
• I want to play……….I want to play
• He wants to play…….. I want to play
• He wants to play…….. He wants to….

REFRAIN 1

My eyes so heavy now that staying awake is really quite unlikely

Now I’m really looking forward to tomorrow and a chance to play

But it’s……

REFRAIN 1

REFRAIN 2

REMINISCIN’

Not another person in sight…I hope it won’t be like this all night

It seems that every time I’m alone…..someone calls to see if I’m home

How do ya do, do ya do, do ya do, do ya do,  my friend

How have you been ?…Nice to see you again

It’s been a long time, and I think that it’s fine to see you

Well…. have a seat and tell me what’s new

We’ll talk and think of somethin’ to do

It’s nice I’m not alone anymore…Wait !….. I hear a knock at the door

How do ya do, do ya do, do ya do, do ya do, my friend

We just got together and things are all right

We’d like to get down here and make it a night…..wouldn’t you ?

Sittin’ around….a-getting’ down

Reminiscin’ with you…..Reminiscin’ !

I hope you won’t be leavin’ too soon

We seem to just be getting’ in tune

Let’s not even look at the clock

Someone’s comin’ up the front walk

How do ya do, do ya do, do ya do, do ya do, my friend

Come on in and join us…it’s nice now and then

To have you all here reminiscin’ again

And again, and again…yeah

Reminicin’… Reminicin…. Reminicin, again….yeah

WHAT’S YOUR GAME

Are you a winsome stranger ?

Or just a re-arranger ?

What do your eyes see ?

Do you like easy money ?

Do you think life is funny ?

Do you treat all people the same ?

What’s your game ?….what’s your game ?

Do you have love at your place ?

Can you look straight at your face ?

How do you listen ?

Do you ask any questions ?

Can you wait patiently ?

Are you a help to those in pain ?

What’s your game ?….Oh, what’s your game ?

Have you ever considered all of the kindness delivered ?

What does your life mean ?

Oh, you can be so happy

The Lord gives so generously

You need only ask it in his name

What’s your game ?……….what’s your game ?

What’s your game ?

IF YOU ARE SOMEONE

If you are someone who knows how to cope,

Just spend some time and give others some hope

‘Cause people are weary, and can’t see too clearly

Which way to go….Yeah

And, if you are someone with eyes to foresee

Speak out your message of what is to be

And, your gift of such foresight,

Will guide us through dark nights

Just for awhile….Yeah

And, you can say something, if you want to

But, watch what you say

It might be something you don’t want to say

And if you are someone who just understands

A shoulder to cry on is much in demand

And, if you know someone , who needs to tell someone

Lend them a hand….Yeah

And, if you are someone with talents to spare

Set yourself free and give others a share

And, if you need something….if you need something

It’ll be there…. Yeah

If you say something that you want to

Watch what you say

It might be something that you want to say

Yeah…..Yeah

HE AROSE

First thing in the morning

Before you get out of bed

Don’t forget to be thankful…for your daily bread

REFRAIN:

• Glory be to the Father
• Glory be to the son
• Jesus Christ is your savior
• And he died on the cross for your sins
• And there’s one more thing to remember
• He arose……from the dead

Now he sits on the right hand

Of God the Father “I Am”

Granting life everlasting to those entrusted in him

REFRAIN

REPEAT ALL

STARS AND WISHES

You believe in stars and wishes

Silver spoons and china dishes

Presidents and kings….. well that’s alright

I believe much differently

In things like love and empathy

In God and His integrity….that’s right !

REFRAIN:

• Have you ever had the thought
• Love is really all we’ve got
• You should know that love is You….You
• Well, I don’t think, that you should think,
• That I would think,  that you don’t know anything

Everyone is so enthused

Delighted with the daily news

Another rocket to the moon….so, what ?

Planets, moons, and Milky Ways

Have been there, now, for countless days

What’s so new ?… I’ve got to say ”It’s not !”

REFRAIN

And, if you think that I’ve been joking

In your business I’ve been poking

I’m really sorry that you feel that way

I just know there’s something greater

Now’s the time to know..…not later

You will see is all I’ve got to say

REFRAIN

OPPORTUNIY

Opportunity….they say it knocks but once

And you best beware that it won’t be there for long

So, if you’re willing to take the final step

To insure yourself of the things

That you’re not sure of…yeah, yeah

REFRAIN:

• But, if you find out that you feel differently
• Life is full of opportunity, yes it is
• Open up your heart…take a look around you
• You may see what you’re looking for

Opportunity…a life time circumstance

A convenient time for you to call your own

So don’t be bashful….give up what you’ve got

‘Cause in return you’ll get all those things

That you have dreamed of…oh, yeah

REFRAIN

REFRAIN

Opportunity….they say it knocks but once

And you best beware that it won’t be there for long

So don’t be bashful, give up what you’ve got

‘Cause in return you’ll get all those things

That you have dreamed of...oh, yeah

REFRAIN

CROSSIN’ OVER

I’ve been thinkin’ about us baby really feelin’ fine

And findin’ the joy of wisdom

Crossin’ over the line

I remember the sad times, the hard times we all know

Just seems like they’re never ending

I wish they hadn’t ever gone so slow

I picked up some matches brother,  when my mind said “not”

Wish I’d listened one time or another

‘Cause they sure got hot

Always wantin’ to do the right thing

I figured I would know

Just thought it’d be in my nature

But I found it just wasn’t so

They’re raisin’ my cost of livin’…..the cost of lovin’ too

If they’d lower the cost of givin’

I know we’d make it through

But I’ll never show them

They know what’s right for me

Livin’ scared in a world with no answers

Buildin’ walls for their societies

I’ve been thinkin’ about us baby really feelin’ fine

And findin’ the joy of wisdom

Crossin’ over the line

SOMEBODY TOLD ME

Somebody told me that time can’t stand still

Well I didn’t know, but I said that it will

Somebody told me that life has to end

I could not believe it, my mind wouldn’t bend

Ain’t it funny, all truth can’t be proven for sure

But try understanding

Perceive and endure

And somebody told me what wisdom they had

But can’t understand why things are so bad

Somebody told me that you loved me so

I couldn’t help smilin’

I just said…I know
