Call 04:16
High on a mountain Over sound of a misty morning you can hear him Clear more than crystal Ringing over the heights of laughter even sadness Sound of perfection Singing through daylight Sound of the sunset Silencing night Ties all abandoned And you follow his call so surely never doubting You never wonder If the sound that you hear is real or an illusion Sound of perfection Singing through daylight Sound of the sunset Silencing night Floating like a cloud Rising slowly Takes you to a land No one sees yet Anchored by a breeze Seeking beauty Taking you above, nearer, closer, nearer, closer, now Then as you see him There is nothing so bright and you have been so blinded Dance to his music And you know that your life has never been so rounded Sound of perfection Singing through daylight Sound of the sunset Silencing night Floating like a cloud Rising slowly Takes you to a land No one sees yet Anchored by a breeze Seeking beauty Taking you above, nearer closer, nearer closer, now

The sun and moon and stars my love, they always sparkle in your eyes Lighting up the night so bright like jewels in the sky Come and sing this song with me I'll wait down by the sea Fill my empty thoughts with dreams That speak of only you and me You say that you’re not certain that your heart can count on me That you’re afraid to toss your love away so carelessly But if you look into my eyes You’ll see with certainty You’re the one in my eternity Whenever there is sunrise Or at night When day Turns out the light If it’s dark Or it’s bright Forever I will sing to you What can I do my love to make you change your mind and stay What could I have said or done to make you feel this way I never meant to make you cry Now I wonder why I only want to make you smile Smile until the day I die I’ll love you more and more and more each day Until the end of time So dry away those tears my love And help me with this rhyme Come and look into my eyes You’ll see with certainty You’re the one in my eternity Whenever there is sunrise Or at night When day Turns out the light If it’s dark Or it’s bright Forever I will sing to you

Connections 04:11
Something in the wind, the trees The falling leaves Something in the changing seasons Makes me wonder Something in a flash of light That tears the night When I hear the silence first And then the thunder Dewdrops glow In the early morn And I’m singing a lonely song at dawn All the while that I am lost I wonder why My love you have tossed In this burning and churning sad sea of love Take me back Don’t want to be alone Don’t want to be the one that’s left there crying Can’t you see That we were meant to be Always and forever one There’s no denying

Bluesette 04:06
Poor little, sad little, blue Bluesette don’t you cry, don’t you fret You can bet one lucky day you'll awaken and your blues will be forsaken Some lucky day lovely love will come your way Get set Bluesette True love is coming Your troubled heart soon will be humming < humming > Pretty little Bluesette Mustn't be a mourner Have you heard the news yet Love is 'round the corner Love wrapped in rainbows and tied with pink ribbons To make your next springtime your gold wedding ring time So dry your eyes, don’t you cry no more Pretty good times are coming your way Long as there’s love in your heart to share Dear Bluesette, don't despair Some blue boy is waiting just like you to Find a someone to be true to Two loving arms you can nestle in and stay

Refuge 05:16
Dark as the night What is that screaming? I hear a sound inside my head Am I just dreaming? I’ve come undone Can’t find the pieces Until you put me back again The hurt never ceases Give me this chance, please to make this right I need you my love to take me back tonight Will you let me start again, replay my part I wanna to find my refuge inside your heart There will be no more divide, ‘cos I’m done with all that pride Don’t you leave my side Be my sanctuary Be my refuge Our love, it hasn’t died Flight, or stay and fight You are my shelter No running helter-skelter now Now that I’ve found you

When I woke up in the morning Oh the sun was shining bright I knew at once that everything Was gonna be alright I put away the sadness and I opened up the gladness Ready for a day I knew would Be so filled with madness And baby I was right Yeah I sure was right You know that I was right What a day this has been! What a rare mood I'm in! Why, it's almost like being in love There's a smile on my face For the whole human race Why, it's almost like being in love All the music of life seems to be Like a bell that is ringing for me And from the way that I feel When that bell starts to peal I would swear I was falling swear I was falling It's almost like being in love

Are the stars out tonight I can’t tell if it's cloudy or bright 'Cos I only have eyes for you, dear Now the moon may be high But I can't see anything in the sky I only have eyes for you I don't know if I'm in a garden Or on a crowded avenue You are here, so am I Maybe millions of people go by But they all disappear from view And I only have eyes for you Are the stars out tonight I can’t see any light Is it bright It’s so far out of my sight Long as you are in my thoughts there’s Nothing that can come between us I see that everything just Vanishes from sight Is it cloudy or bright Are the stars a-shining In the sky my darling Can't you see the light? Are the stars out tonight I can't tell if it's cloudy or bright 'Coz I only have eyes for you

Hey, watermelon man! Hey, watermelon man! Bring me one that rattles when you lug it One that's sweet and juicy when you plug it Do you understand, watermelon man? Hey, watermelon man! Hey, watermelon man! Hot and bothered, need a little cooling When I hear your call I start to drooling Do you understand, watermelon man? Watermelon cool your head They’re so sweet, and so cool, and so red And so green, and so nice They’ll cool you down, just like ice Just take a chance, a glance You'll see why If you’re hot a lot or you’re dry Just take a slice, twice Eat your fill Cool it down, yes it will Hey, watermelon man! Hey, watermelon man! Hot and bothered, need a little cooling When I hear your call I start to drooling Do you understand, watermelon man?
