"Come In"

   
When your ship is tossed on the ocean
I will shine you safely to shore
Of all my precious treasures our friendship measure as the golden one
Please don't make me miss you forever
You're a diamond shinning brighter than light
And if no one can see you believe that I do
And I need you
I'll be here when you come in
When you been away to long
I counted the days you were gone
Hoping that you would come in
Come in

Open the waiting door
Don't worry about what you find anymore
Just come on in
All the places that you try to remember and the faces you try to forget
They are older and wiser they'll still criticize
But you can face them now
If you think they're ready to hear you
You might tell one or two what you know
Maybe someone will see what the truth really means
Let them find you and welcome you too
Come in

Come in you've been away too long
I counted the days you were gone
Hoping that you would come in
Come in

Open the waiting door
Don't worry about what you find anymore
Just come in

When your ship is tossed on the ocean
I will shine you safely to shore
Of all my precious treasures our friendship measure as the golden one
Please don't make me miss you forever
You're a diamond shinning brighter than light
And if no one can see you believe that I do
And I need you
I'll be here when you come in
I'm like a rock and I just won't move
I'm like the sun I'll shine my light on you
Come in break it down
Come on in

Every secrete is safe with me
Every secrete is safe with me
I won't tell
it'll be locked away inside of my heart
Just come on in
Oh, and when you feel that the road is too long all you gotta do is lean on me I'll help you carry on
You know I will I will I will
Just come on in Come on Come on Come on in
Come on

"Better Days"

   
Silver gray hair
Neatly combed in place
There were four generations
Of love on her face
She was so wise
No surprise passed her eyes
She's seen it all

I was a child, oh
About three or four
All day I'd ask questions
At night I'd ask more
But whenever, she never
Would ever turn me away
No, no oh woah
I'd say how can I be sure
What is right or wrong
And why does
What I want
Always take so long
Please tell me
Where does God live
And why won't
He talk to me
I'd say Grandma
What is love
Will I ever find out
Why are we so poor
What is life about
I wanna know the answers
Before I fall off to sleep
Woah ho woah ho

She saw the smile
As she tucked me in
Then she pulled up that
Old rockin' chair once again
But tonight she was
Slightly, remarkably
Different somehow
Slowly she rocked
Lookin' half asleep
Grandma yawned
As she stretched
Then she started to speak
What she told me
Would mould me and hold me
Together inside
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

She said all the things you ask
You will know someday
But you have got to live
In a patient way
God put us here by fate
And by fate that means
Better days

She said, child we are all
Moons in the dark of night
Ain't no mornings gonna come
Till the time is right
Can't get no better days lest
You make it through the night
You gotta make it
Through the night
Yes you do
You can't get to no
Better days
Unless you make it
Through the night (baby)
Oh ho, you will see
Those better days
But you gotta be patient
Be patient, oh baby
Be patient

Later that year at
The turn of spring
Heaven sent angels down
And gave Grandma her wings
Now, she's flyin'
And slidin', and glidin'
In better days
And although
I'm all grown up
I still get confused
I stumble through the dark
Getting bumped and bruised
When night gets in my way
I could still hear
My Grandma say
I can hear her say
I can hear her sayin'

You can't get to no
Better days
Unless you make it
Through the night (baby)
Oh ho, you will see
Those better days
But you gotta be patient
Child, do you hear me, yeah
Well, well, well, well
You can't get to no, no
Better days
Unless you make it
You got to make it
You got to make it
Through the night
Oh Grandma, oh Grandma
Do you see me now, lady
Oh oh oh oh oh
Tender replies

"Testify"

   
Sometimes you won't understand why life is the way it is
Things don't always go the way you plan them
But I believe god in time is anonymous and in through time god reveals all things
You gotta be still, stand and lovin'
Pay attention
I just want to testify
I just gotta testify
I just want to testify
I gotta testify
When I look back on my life
I go crazy when I think of the danger I put myself in
But amazing grace always carried me to safety knowing that I'd go back to the same place again and againLord no one could ever love me the way that you do
In spirit, mind, and body I surrender myself daily to you
And I just want to testify
I gotta testify
I just want to testify
Amazing grace saved my life
So sweet the journey when you learn to love yourself, accept yourself, forgive yourself, believe in yourself, be yourself
With Amazing grace as your constant friend
Say I'm free off anger, I'm free fear, and my mind is at ease
I don't regret a single yesterday
Cause yesterday made me who I am today
I just want to testify
The mind is strong
I can see what I can see
I just want to testify
Amazing Grace Saved my Life
I gotta testify
Testify testify
I gotta tell my story
Testify Testify
About the love, about the light and the glory
Testify Testify
How it taught me to walk
Testify Testify
How it taught me to talk
I gotta testify cause I feel all right now
I gotta testify cause my soul is all right
Thank you father
I gotta testify

"Suzanne"

   
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.
And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said "All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.
Now Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind

"Mista"

   
It ain't too late
No, It ain't too late
To change your life
Cause everyday is a miracle
A chance to make it right
You complain constantly
'Bout your life your misery
On sunny days you need rain
So your can bitch and stay the same
Always sayin' what you can't do
Forget the fact that God made you
Place the blame on everybody else
I think it's time you check yourself
Hey ah Mista can't you see
The wonders of the Universe
Hey ah Mista can't you see
The wonders of the Universe
You won't help nobody else
'Cause you feel sorry for yourself
Think the world owes you something
You give nothin' you gets nothing
I can't stay here
'Cause you like dying
I like living, I like flyin'
Gonna fly so high
Till I free my soul
Gonna leave you here in your black hole
Hey ah Mista
Can't you see the wonders of the Universe
Hey ah Mista
Can't you see the wonders of the Universe
Thunder and lighting
Oceans and blue skies
A world full of miracles help me to realize
I got the power, I've got the knowledge
Each day's a new chance to better tomorrow
Got the chance to change your life
It ain't too late to make it right
But you're so right so self righteous
You won't move
And I can't let cha'
Mess up my groove
Hey ah Mister? Can't you see
The wonders of the Universe

"Lullaby Of Birdland"

   
Lullaby of birdland, that's what
I always hear when you sigh
Never in my woodland
Could there be words to reveal
In a phrase how i feel
Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Bill and coo when they love
That's the kind of magic
Music we make with our lips
When we kiss
And there's a weepy ol' willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how i cry in my pillow
If you should tell me
Farewell and goodbye
Lullaby of Birdland whisper low
kiss me sweet & we'll go
Fliyin' high in Birdland
High in the sky up above
All because we're in love

"Send In The Clowns"

   
Isn't it rich, aren't we a pair5
Send in the clowns
Isn't it bliss, don't you approve
One who keeps tearing around - and one who can't move
But where are the clowns - send in the clowns
Just when I stopped opening doors
Finally finding the one that I wanted - was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines - nobody there
Don't you love a farce; my fault I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want - sorry my dear
But where are the clowns - send in the clowns
Don't bother they're here
Isn't it rich, isn't it queer
Losing my timing this late in my career
But where are the clowns - send in the clowns
Well maybe next year

"Speak Low"

   
Speak low
When you speak love
Our summer day
Withers away
Too soon, too soon

Speak low
When you speak love
Our moment is swift
Like ships adrift,
Were swept apart
Too soon

Speak low
Darling speak low
Love is a spark
Lost in the dark
Too soon, too soon

I feel
Wherever I go
That tomorrow is here
Tomorrow is near
And always too soon

Time is so old
And love's so brief
Love is pure gold
And time a thief.

We're late,
Darling we're late

The curtain descends,
Everything ends
Too soon, too soon.

I wait,
Darling I wait
When you speak low to me,
Speak love to me and soon.

"I Remember Sarah"

   
When I was little girl
I heard a voice I never heard before
It was so divine
It was so fine
So rich so good so lush
Oh touch my heart
Touch my soul
I wanted to sing
I wanted to sing
I wanted to sing
Wanted to swing everyday
I remember Sarah
When she smiled
Everybody went oh baby
You sure sound good
Sing it sing it like it should be sung
Everyday
Everyday
Heart me the divine

"Key Largo"

   
Wrapped around each other
Trying so hard to stay warm
That first cold winter together
Lying in each others arms
Watching those old movies
Falling in love so desperately
Honey, I was your hero
And you were my leading lady

We had it all
Just like Bogie and Bacall
Starring in our old late, late show
Sailing away to Key Largo

Here's lookin' at you kid
Missing all the things we did
We can find it once again, I know
Just like they did in Key Largo

Honey, can't you remember
We played all the parts
That sweet scene of surrender
When you gave me your heart
Please say you will
Play it again
'Cause I love you still
Baby, this can't be the end

We had it all
(We had it all)
Just like Bogie and Bacall
Starring in our old late, late show
Sailing away to Key Largo

Here's lookin' at you kid
(Here's lookin' at you kid)
Missing all the things we did
We can find it once again, I know
Just like they did in Key Largo

We had it all
(We had it all)
Just like Bogie and Bacall
Starring in our old late, late show
Sailing away to Key Largo
