All The Children Sing
See ms. malone
She spends another quiet evening alone
Sits in her study and stares at the phone
And a bell in her head will ring
All the children sing
All the dancers start to sway in time
The orchestra begins to play
Somebody pours the wine
The sun and moon collide
Isnt gravity a funny thing
The universe explodes apart
All the children sing
Of mr. malloy
Hes always seen himself as one of the boys
He thinks that men are tough and women are toys
But a bell in his head will ring
All the children sing
All the birds are chirping harmony
The scent of love is in the air
Sunset on the sea
The angel of the lord
Just declared we arent worth a thing
The galaxy is null and void
All the children sing
Crawled across a thousand miles of desert sand
Looking from an answer from a holy man
And this is what he told me with a wave of his hand
He said, a bell in your head will ring
Heres to the chinaman, wise and old
Heres to the eskimo, brave and cold
Heres to the jew in the holy land
Heres to the arab in his caravan
Heres to the african, strong and proud
Heres to the redneck, good and loud
Heres one to you and theres one more thing
A bell in your head will ring

Heres Lookin At You Kid
(myles goodwyn)
Published by mfg sing sing music/socan - ascap
The kid in the valleys got an attitude
Lean and mean, with nothin to lose
He aint uptight, he dont care no more
The girls start screamin as he hits the floor
The time is now, while the night is young
Youre on the road, wanting to run
You got to stop boy, it aint just talk, no way
So turn up the heat, and let it rock
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid
Look at me, I got my dancin shoes
Theres lots of women, which one do I choose
Ill place a wager, with a ten dollar bill
If the blond dont get me, then the brunette will
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid, alright
Better not tell me that Im unkind
But I dont wanna hear whats on your mind, no way

So heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid
Heres lookin at you (heres lookin at you), heres lookin at you kid

Lost in the home of the brave

Heres to frank hit in some bar
In picturesque brooklyn heights
And heres to a friend who jumped in front of a train
At seven oclock one night
And another friend who thinks he lacks worth
Has disappeared from sight
Somewhere in the home
Of the brave
And heres to the home of the brave
And heres to the life thats not saved
Heres to the home of the brave
Heres to the home of the brave
The stars are hiding in their clouds
The street lights are too bright
A mans kicking a woman
Whos clutching his leg tight
And I think suddenly of you
And blink my eyes in fright
And rush off to the home
Of the brave
And heres to the home of the brave
Heres to the home of the brave
And heres to the life that is saved
Heres to the home of the brave
And everyday you have to die some
Cry some and die some
And everyday you have to die some
Cry some and die

Alaska & Me
This song appears on three albums, and was first released on the higher ground album, and has also been released on the gift you are and the john denver collection - calypso albums.
When I was a child and I lived in the city
I dreamed of alaska so far away
And I dreamed I was flying over mountains and glaciers
Somehow I knew Id live there one day
Well it took me some growin, and a fair bit of schoolin
And a little bit of trouble to get on the move
And I felt like a loser but I turned out the winner
When I came to alaska the land that I love
Heres to alaska, heres to the people
Heres to the wild and heres to the free
Heres to my life in a chosen country
Heres to alaska and me
I was born in a cabin on little mulchatna
Raised in hard times but I had a good life
From the first time I flew with my father a singin
I knew that Id wind up a bush pilots wife
We sleep near the sound of a slow running river
And wake up most mornings to a drizzling rain
And we face every day like the first or the last one
With nothin to lose and heaven to gain
Heres to alaska, heres to the people
Heres to the wild and heres to the free
Heres to my life in a chosen country
Heres to alaska and me
Oh, for the fire on a cold winters night
And once more to gaze at the great northern lights
For all of the beauty my children will see
Heres to alaska and me
Heres to alaska, heres to the people
Heres to the wild and heres to the free
Heres to my life in a chosen country
Heres to alaska and me

Heres Johnny
Heres johnny
There he goes, he drives me crazy
When he says...(hee-eeres johnny!)
Thats his job, its so amazing
All he says is...(hee-eeres johnny!)
I never miss a moment when hes on the tube
His being there has made my life worth living
The chills run down my spine
Each time he says that line
Heres johnny! he says, and laughs in his special way
...johnny! he says, you know I love him
Heres johnny! he says, and second fiddle is his game
Ed mcmahons his name...all right
Dressed so fine, hes such a cool dude
Hear him say...(hee-eeres johnny!)
Watch him selling beer and dog food
Hear him say...(hee-eeres johnny!)
I got a letter from him just the other day
He said, you may already be a winner!
A trooper to the end
A clydesdales best friend
Heres johnny! he says, and laughs in his special way
...johnny! he says, you know I love him
Heres johnny! he says, and thats the way he gets his pay
What a living
Oh...(heres johnny! heres johnny!) wo-o-o, no
(heres johnny! heres johnny!) no no no no no no, I dont believe it
(heres johnny!) he says, and everytime its just the same
Ed mcmahons his name
A very special guy...all right
Hes on every night
Cant change the channel
When hes sitting on the panel
(hee-eeres johnny!)
There he goes, he gives me goose bumps
When he says...(hey-o-hey-hey-o!)
Heres johnny! he says, and laughs in his special way
...johnny! he says, you know I love him
Heres johnny! he says, that seems to be his claim to fame

Heres to the night we loved eachother...
Heres to the night we shared our dreams of hope....
Heres to the night we made love....
Heres to the night you wrapped me in your arms....
Heres to the night we loved eachother like no other.....
Heres to the night we laughed at eachother.....

Ramblin Boy
(tom paxton)
He was a man and a friend always
He stuck with me in the hard old days.
He never cared if I had no dough,
We rambled round in the rain and snow.
And heres to you, my ramblin boy,
May all your ramblin bring you joy.
Heres to you, my ramblin boy,
May all your ramblin bring you joy.
In tulsa town, we chanced to stray.
We thought that we, we might work one day.
The boss said he had room for one,
Said my old pal, wed rather bum.
And heres to you, my ramblin boy,
May all your ramblin bring you joy.
Heres to you, my ramblin boy,
May all your ramblin bring you joy.
Then late one night in a jungle camp
The weather it, it was cold and damp.
He got the chills, he got em bad,
I lost the only friend I had.
And heres to you, my ramblin boy,
May all your ramblin bring you joy.
Heres to you, my ramblin boy,
May all your ramblin bring you joy.
My ramblin pal has rambled on,
My ramblin boy, hes dead and gone.
If when we die, we go somewhere,
Ill bet you a dollar hes ramblin there.
And heres to you, my ramblin boy,
May all your ramblin bring you joy.
Heres to you, my ramblin boy,
May all your ramblin bring you joy.
May all your ramblin bring you joy.

Lights & Virtues
(by jackson browne)
Heres to lights and virtues
Heres to truths yet to be known
Knowledge to light the darkness
The search for things of your own
Heres to lights and virtues
Heres to reaching higher ground
A life of hope and purpose
Heres to strength yet to be found
Honor -- though it goes unrecognized
And truth -- though liars abound
The pleasure of love and friendship
The courage to be alone

Heres to the night
So denied, so I lied
Are you the now or never kind?
In a day and a day love
Im gonna be gone for good again
Are you willing to be had?
Are you cool with just tonight?
Heres a toast to all those who hear me all to well
Heres to the night we felt alive
Heres to the tears you knew youd cry
Heres to goodbye tomorrows gone and come too soon
Put your name on the line
Along with place and time
Want to stay, not to go, I want to ditch the logical
Heres a toast to all those who hear me all too well
Heres to the night we felt alive
Heres to the tears you knew youd cry
Heres to goodbye tomorrows gone and come too soon
All my time is froze in motion
Cant I stay an hour or two or more
Dont let me let you go
Dont let me let you go
Heres a toast to all those who hear me all too well
Heres to the night we felt alive
Heres to the tears you knew youd cry
Heres to goodbye, tomorrows gone and come too soon
Too soon

Sing You Children
(words & music by nelson - burch)
Oh jonah he was desperate in the belly of the whale
Well jonah had a plan, he knew he couldnt fail
He raised his head on high
And looking for the sky
And he sang his song so pretty
The whale told him goodbye
You got to sing you children sing
Sing you children sing
I only know one thing, hey! hey! hey!
Sing you children sing, everybody
Sing you children sing
Sing your troubles away
Well moses said good lord
Open up these waters for me
So I can get your chidren
Across the salty sea
Well the lord parted the waters
And singing hand in hand
Moses and the children
Walked over to the promised land
You got to sing you children sing
Sing you children sing
I only know one thing, hey! hey! hey!
Sing you children sing, everybody
Sing you children sing
Sing your troubles away
Oh joshua had a plan
At the walls of jericho
Hed march around those walls
And on his horn hed blow
That horn would play a tune
And sing a happy song
When joshua got through
Those walls came tumbling down
You got to sing you children sing
Sing you children sing
I only know one thing, hey! hey! hey!
Sing you children sing, everybody
Sing you children sing
Sing your troubles away
You got to sing your troubles away

Keep Away
You keep your jealousy and your snide remarks to yourself
You know that Im not seeing anyone else
You just keep your ear down to the ground
Yell your head off if you hear a sound
Heres a whistle, a badge and a phone
You can arrest me if Im not at home
And if I dont keep my word I swear
Ill keep away
Heres some books and a puzzle by escher
Heres shakespeares measure for measure
Heres a balloon, a rubber band and a bag
Why dont you blow them up if you think youve been had
Heres a castle, a paper dragon and a moat
An earring, a toothbrush and a cloak
And if I dont keep my word I swear
Ill keep away
I swear Ill keep away, from all weve ever done
Ill keep away the good times, Ill keep away the fun
I swear Ill join the army, or maybe the marines
Ill start to wear designer suits and put away my jeans
I swear that Ill keep away, from all my old-time friends
Ill throw away my records, Ill try to make amends
I swear Ill give up gambling, and playing with the rent
Ill give up food and drinking, Ill give up a life ill-spent
Heres a yardstick you can measure me by
Heres a coupon, maybe theres something you want to buy
Heres a bandied in case you cut your feet
Heres a rubber mallet you can use on your front teeth
Heres a gun no one uses anymore
And a bracelet made of some expensive ore
And if I dont keep my word
You wont see me anymore
I swear Ill keep away, from dignity and pride
Ill keep away from abstracts, Ill keep it all inside
Well, Ill just wrap me up in butter, and melt me on a shelf
Ill fry in my own juices, Ill become somebody else
Well, Ill just swear to keep away, from everything thats good
Ill lie down in the gutter, where I really should
I swear Ill light a candle, to every modern foe
I swear Ill close the book on this, and not see you anymore
cause I just got to get away

Here Comes My Baby
In the midnight moonlight Ill be walking a long and lonely mile.
And every time I do, I keep seeing this picture of you.
Heres comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Heres comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love thats all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.
You never walk alone, and youre forever talking on the phone.
Ive tried to call you names, but every time it comes out the same.
Heres comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Heres comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love thats all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.
Im still waiting for your heart, cuz Im sure that some day its gonna start.
Youll be mine to hold each day, but til then this is all that I can say.
Heres comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Heres comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love thats all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.

Good Luck, Bad Luck
The film script lies ahead
Change the future, change the past
Choose the players, choose the role
Cast of thousands, cast of few
Imagination decides the plot
Play the good guy, play the bad
Heres the victim, heres the saint
Heres the canvas, heres the paint
Good luck bad luck who knows
Good luck bad luck who knows
The world is peopled by many winds
Whirling faster than the wind
Solving a dilemma of life and death
Trying to make some sense of it all
No good blaming the outside world
Pleasure and pain are in the mind
Whether we like it or whether we dont
We found as much as we wanted to find
Good luck, bad luck who knows
Good luck, bad luck
Good luck, bad luck who knows
Good luck, bad luck
Good luck, bad luck who knows
Good luck, bad luck
We can make it horror we can make it blue
We can make it slow time, make it move
The director sits behind those eyes
Play it straight or in disguise
Imagination decides the plot
Play the good guy play the bad
Heres the victim, heres the saint
Heres the canvas and heres the paint
Good luck, good
Good luck bad luck who knows
Good luck bad luck who knows?

Hooray For Love
Its the wonder of the world, its a rocket to the moon
It gets you high, it gets you low, but once you get that glow...
Heres to my best romance, heres to my worst romance
Heres to my first romance - ages ago
Heres to the boys Ive kissed, and to complete the list
Heres to the boys who said no!
Love, love, hooray for love
Who was ever too blase for love
Make this the night for love
If we have to fight, lets fight for love
Some sigh and cry for love
Ah, but in pa-ree they die for love
Some waste away for love
Just the same - hooray for love!
Its the rocket to the moon, with a touch of clare de lune
It gets you high, it gets you low, but once you get that glow...
Some trust to fate for love,
Others have to take off weight for love
Some go berzerk for love
Loafers even go to work for love
Sad songs are sobbed for love
People have their noses bobbed for love
Some say we pay for love
Just the same - hooray for love!

You Mean So Much To Me
A girl meets a guy
A car passes by
The moon shines down on a tree
A kid in the park
Should have been home by dark
You mean so much to me
The snow on the ground
A merry-go_round
A sight that was somethin to see
Some cigarette smoke
Some laughter a joke
You mean so much to me
It seems to be
Like heaven to me
With you at the end of the day
Heres looking at you
Heres looking at me
Dancing with history
That old crocodile
Got a satisfied smile
His life is no big mystery
A postcard you wrote
A musical note
You mean so much to me
Heres looking at you
Heres looking at you
Heres looking at me
Dancing with history
It seems to be
Like heaven to me
With you at the end of the day

The moon shines down on a tree
Im thinking of you
So what else is new

Got To Let It Go
All my life-time plans,
I got em in my hands.
Balancing my fate upon a wire.
Got to let it go.
Everywhere I turn I see
Theres nowhere left to go.
All my dreams are far,
Too much for me to hold.
Still I hate to drop them,
Werent they from you?
What did I do?
You are the one that can see,
Into the heart of me.
Am I really giving up tomorrow?
Got, got, got to let it go.
This is gonna hurt a little,
Still its right I know.
Got to let it --
Even though I fear
Too much of me might show,
I cant wait any longer for it,
Ive had enough!
Ill give it up!
Lord, heres my heart,
Ive been keeping it from you,
And I got to let it go.
Holding on just breaks me, worry,
Got to let it go,
Come and take it from me, hurry,
Got to let it go.
Go to let it -- got to let it go.
Got to give up all of my control!
Holding on too tight,
Where do I lose sight?
Wheres the lamb that seems to bring frustration,
Go to let it go.
The best of dreams can turn to nightmares,
When my heart takes hold.
How long must I learn?
This lessons getting old,
Ive got to catch a clearer vision,
Im in your hands!
Youre in command!
Lord, heres my heart (heres my heart, heres my heart)
Ive been keeping it (keeping it, keeping it) from you!
And I got to let it go.
Holding on just breaks me, worry,
Got to let it go.
Come and take it from me, hurry,
Got to let it go.
Oh, Ive got to let it go.
Got to give up all of my control!
Lord, heres my heart (heres my heart, heres my heart)
Ive been keeping it (keeping it, keeping it) from you!
And I got to let it go.
Holding on just breaks me, worry,
Got to let it go.
Come and take it from me, hurry,
Got to let it go.
Oh, Ive got to let it go.
Got to give up all of my control!
Lord, heres my heart (heres my heart, heres my heart)
Ive been keeping it (keeping it, keeping it) from you!
And I got to let it go.
Holding on just breaks me, worry,
Got to let it go.
Come and take it from me, hurry,
Got to let it go.
Oh, Ive got to let it go.
Got to give up all of my control!

Cant be delivered by a ho-ho-ho

Heres the package baby open it up

You wont find it underneath the tree
You cant buy it with a roll of green

Its the gift that just keeps on giving

Oh I was moved by your screen dream
Celluloid pictures of living
Your death could not kill my love for you
Take two people romantic
Smoky nightclub situation
Your cigarette traces a ladder
Heres looking at you kid
Celebrate years
Heres looking at you kid
Wipe away tears
Long time since were together
Now I hope its forever
Ideal love flies away now
White jacket, black tie, wings too
You gave her away to the hero
Words dont express my meaning
Notes could not spell out the score
But finding not keepings the lesson
Heres looking at you kid
Hard to forget
Heres looking at you kid
At least not yet
Your memory stays
It lingers ever
Will fade away never
