Checkmate
02:53
|

Pawn moves to king’s bishop four
White on the attack
Glint in your eye
As you spy my pawn
to king’s three
Waving a white flag which don’t see
End game in view but a Pyrrhic victory
I won’t be the pawn in your game
Fool’s mated once is enough never again
I won’t be the pawn in your game
Checkmated out in advance
because you wouldn’t give me a chance
White pawn to king’s knight four
Things looking black
Queen on to king’s rook five
And I’m the fool’s mate
Opening my collar I leave the room
Facing defeat that has come all too soon
I won’t be the pawn in your game
Fool’s mated once is enough never again
I won’t be the pawn in your game
Checkmated out in advance
because you wouldn’t give me a chance

Can't Stop The Magic
03:24
|

We’ve got our whole life together
And now that I’ve found you
Each moment lasts forever
blue was the way I felt without you
Before you came into my world
And now I can’t stop the magic that my heart is feeling for you
Can’t stop the magic every part of me feels towards you
Can’t stop the magic that my heart is feeling for you
You are as a jewel in the night sky
That has a very special meaning
Life has all become so worthwhile
But blue was the way I felt without you
Before you came into my world
And now I can’t stop the magic that my heart is feeling for you
Can’t stop the magic every part of me feels towards you
Can’t stop the magic that my heart is feeling for you

Eye To Eye
03:36
|

Seems like only yesterday
I first saw you
It’s funny how the years
just slip away
It brings me sadness
To see our love
Turn to such madness babe
Oh! baby
We’ve just got to find a new way
Because we can’t see, we just can’t it see eye to eye
No we can’t see we just can’t see it eye to eye
I know you know I want you so
But we can’t see we just can’t see it eye to eye
We used to spend
such a lot of time together
I never ever thought
that things would change
Now love’s turned turtle
But can we wait
til it turns full circle babe
Oh! baby
We’ve just got to find a new way
Because we can’t see, we just can’t see it eye to eye
No we can’t see we just can’t see it eye to eye
I know you know I want you so
But we can’t see we just can’t see it eye to eye
I know you know I want you so
You know I know you want me so
But we can’t see we just can’t see it eye to eye

Love is
03:13
|
|||
here I sit listening to the old school clock
hearing it go tick-tock
thinking about days that we thought were hard
kissing the girls in the school yard
no we can't see passed tomorrow
we never took the teachers advice
cause love was so nice
now we're paying the price
I can see
love is free
love is if you're prepared to give your life to me
love is free
love is if you're prepared to carry our baby
love is free
love is if I am really able now to be your rock so steady
riding along in our fathers' cars
being too young for the town bars
doing wild things instead of reading our books
only jobs offered now say 'Drive Trucks!'
'cause we can't see passed tomorrow
we never took the teachers advice
cause love was so nice
now we're paying the price
I can see
love is free
love is if you're prepared to give your life to me
love is free
love is if you're prepared to carry our baby
love is free
love is if I am really able now to be your rock so steady
the hands on the clock are striking 12
now I've opened eyes can I take a look
now I've opened eyes can I take a look
now I've opened eyes can I take a look
let me touch the wounds to believe
and open up my eyes so I can see
love is free
love is if you're prepared to give your life to me
love is free
love is if you're prepared to carry our baby
love is free
love is if I am really able now to be your rock so steady

Water Lily
03:21
|
|||
Took my love
The leaves of the water lily
With feelings too
Let me walk
Where the lazy river runs
And flowers grew
But it’s said
Fresh water never flows
Where it’s been before
If it’s true
well then heaven knows
What chance have I
Let me watch the ripples
ride the water
And the herons fly
As the sun beats down
On it’s silent running
The autumn sky
If only time
Would ever stand still
just like a photograph
I’d view the world as it really is
And not through broken glass
I want to walk with you
I want to talk with you
I want to be with you
By the flowing stream
I want to kiss you too
Reminisce with you
I want to lie you
By the flowing stream
I want to be more than a friend.

Marylou
03:23
|
|||
I bit the apple
Eve gave to Adam
Year one in paradise
But quite contrary
Got kissed by Mary
Who rolled my snake eyes dice
And so I fell into here wayward ways
I find I can’t control myself from what she says
Marylou can I come over see you
She says I’m stupid
For acting jealous
When she’s with other guys
But then she plays me
For such a sucker
When I discover her lies
I just physically feel the clown
When Marylou puts her cell phone down
Marylou can I come over see you
She just calls me and I go running
She ignores me and I go sullen
She hurts me and I go hollering
She adores me and I go slobbering
Oh Marylou can I come over see you

Yellow Dress
03:26
|

I pictured you
In your yellow dress
Putting daisies in a chain
In the quiet of the field
With the summer sun
On high
And I pictured you
Ias I did myself
When entering the scene
I just did not know how to say
I love you
There is no time to weep
For those that are gone
For with the past you weep
Only for yourself
A life illusion that won’t last
How time just flies
How time just flies
I picture you
In your yellow dress
Walking tip toe
through the stream
With the rustling of the leaves
On the swaying branches
High
And I picture you
As I did myself
Touch you like the breeze
I just did not know how to say
I love you
All things must surely change
Nothing can stay
the same can yet be said
For God as well
We just don’t notice
what comes and goes
How time just flies
How time just flies

Another Christmas Day
03:04
|
|||
Come let me take you on a fairytale ride
to the stars above and the oceans wide
It's christmas time and Santa's going to be our guide
Maybe we could visit the cold North Pole
Watch Santa' making presents for the young and old
or ride on a polar bear if we could be so bold
Santa's coming to take us away
He's waiting on his fully laden sleigh
and if we go away we're sure to back in time for Christmas day
We'll travel south and east and west
filling children's stockings while they lay at rest
or fly around the world sprinkling happiness
Santa's coming to take us away
He's waiting on his fully laden sleigh
and if we go away we're sure to back in time for Christmas day
We wish you a very merry Christmas
We wish you a very merry Christmas
We wish you a very merry Christmas
And a happy new year

Dreams
02:37
|

Dreams are just dreams
And that is all
I ought to know
Because you’re in my dreams
But if only
Dreams could change
Into reality
Then in my dreams
I’d be in love
I wonder do you love me all the time
Or is it just a figment of my mind
I wonder do you love me all the time
I’ve got a feeling
I’m only dreaming
I’ve got a feeling
I’m only dreaming
That I’m in love with you
Life is just life
But it’s no fun
For what is life
if I’ve got no one
Someone to love me
all the time
To ease my soul
And to ease my mind
