Sweet Joni
Sweet joni from saskatoon
Theres a ring for your finger
It looks like the sun
But it feels like the moon
Sweet joni from saskatoon
Dont go, dont go too soon.
Who lives in an old hotel,
Near the ancient ruins.
Only time can tell,
Time can tell.
Go easy, the doorman said
The floor is slippery,
So watch your head.
This message read.
Sweet joni from saskatoon
Theres a ring for your finger
It shines like the sun
But it feels like the moon.

Dont go, dont go too soon.

Thinkin' 'Bout Us
Vs.1 Always wonderin', always thinkin'
'Bout how you're always on my mind.
When I'm walkin', when I'm readin',
I'll be thinkin' 'bout you all the time.
[Anything, everything that I do,
I'm always thinkin' 'bout me and you-]
(chorus)
Thinkin' 'bout love,
Thinkin' 'bout you,
Thinkin' 'bout me kickin' off
My high heel shoes.
Thinkin' 'bout us.-
Thinkin' 'bout cuddlin',
Thinkin' 'bout snugglin',
Thinkin' 'bout 'Don't think,
But just do.'
Thinkin' 'bout us.-
Thinkin' 'bout us.
Vs.2 A little bit of singin', little bit of writin',
And this song will all come to.
Doin' lots of work and doin' lots of stuff and
That which makes our dreams come true.
[Anything, everything that I do,
I'm always thinkin' 'bout me and you-]

Bridge: Yeah, I know that I'm
So in love with you---

You could write a song about some kind of emotional problem you are having, but it would not be a good song, in my eyes, until it went through a period of sensitivity to a moment of clarity. Without that moment of clarity to contribute to the song, it's just complaining.

Love Songs and Past Lovers
On Abbey Road, the Beatles said it best. 'And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make'
My philosophy is similar, 'The love you give is equal to the love you live'
Each of my lovers is remembered with a song
Janet was 'Try a little tenderness'
Marcy 'Wild Thing'
Barbara was 'Will you still love me tomorrow? '
Irene, well I guess you get the idea
Just hearing the song, she's there in my mind
The woman with who I called it 'our song'
Remembering her face, her smile, her kiss
But somehow, never why we broke up
And when the song ends, she's gone
Just like in real life, I lost her again
But now, I can bring her back
Simply by listening to the song again

Thinkin Bout My Baby
I was walkin, down the street
I was lookin to someone who was standing there
And didnt seem to really care
I was lookin out the window
I was hopin, that the sun would show
Didnt know, didnt know
I was
Thinkin bout him, thinkin about my baby
Thinkin bout him, thinkin about my baby
Thinkin bout him, thinkin about my baby, yeah...
I was searchin, for a summer day
I was hopin, for someone to say
Would you come out?
Instead I stood and I pout
I was wanting, just another chance
To make you, feel my fine romance
Didnt know, want to go
I was
Thinkin bout him, thinkin about my baby
Thinkin bout him, thinkin about my baby
Thinkin bout him, thinkin about my baby,
Thinkin bout him, thinkin about my baby, yeah...
Want my baby, lookin for him high and the love, yeah
Want my baby, hes the only way to fly I know, yeah
I was searchin for another day
I was hopin, just to see your smilin face, your smilin face
I was
Thinkin bout him, thinkin about my baby
Thinkin bout him, thinkin about my baby
Thinkin bout him, thinkin about my baby
Thinkin bout him, thinkin about my baby, yeah, yeah...
Thinkin bout my baby, thinkin about my baby

Were you thinkin bout me, baby
The first time she touched you hand ?
Were you thinkin bout me, baby
Did you forget you were my man
Were you thinking of me when you removed your ring ?
Or did you just think I would not think anything ?
Who were you thinkin about? who were you thinkin about?
Who were you thinkin bout? who were you thinkin about?
Who were you thinkin bout? who were you thinkin about?
Were you thinkin bout me, baby ?
Each time you kissed her lips ?
Were you thinkin bout me, baby ?
When your hands were on her hips?
Were you thinkin bout me did she do it like I do ?
Did you ever think of anyone but you now ?
Who were you thinkin bout? who were you thinkin about?
Who were you thinkin bout? who were you thinkin about?
Who were you thinkin bout? who were you thinkin about?
Were you thinking I would understand ?
And that I was a fool, and that I would never suspect
You were doing wrong ?
And tell me did you feel bad ? did it feel good ?
Did it feel like you thought it would ?
And I would never know ?
What you were thinking ?
Sure werent thinkin bout me

Sleeper Train
Written by dewey bunnell, bill mumy, and robert haimer, 1994
Found on hourglass.
I was on a sleeper train
Bound for anywhere
And I was gazin out the window
In a long stare
Watchin the sage brush go by
And a pink and yellow sky
Thinkin bout your eyes
Feelin good to be alive
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
And I was watchin the towns drift into view
Listenin to my thoughts of you
And the rhythm of the wheels
And the shadows on the hills
Leavin one more life behind
Never knowin what Id find
Such a distant great expanse
And the dust-devils, they dance
And I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
Abandon everything that went before
Ahead now lies another open door
Abandon everything that went before
I was on a sleeper train
Bound for anywhere
And I was gazin out the window
In a long stare
Watchin the sage brush go by
And a pink and yellow sky
Thinkin bout your eyes
Feelin good to be alive
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
The train kept rollin

Janet Waking
Beautifully Janet slept
Till it was deeply morning. She woke then
And thought about her dainty-feathered hen,
To see how it had kept.
One kiss she gave her mother,
Only a small one gave she to her daddy
Who would have kissed each curl of his shining baby;
No kiss at all for her brother.
“Old Chucky, Old Chucky!” she cried,
Running on little pink feet upon the grass
To Chucky’s house, and listening. But alas,
Her Chucky had died.
It was a transmogrifying bee
Came droning down on Chucky’s old bald head
And sat and put the poison. It scarcely bled,
But how exceedingly
And purply did the knot
Swell with the venom and communicate
Its rigour! Now the poor comb stood up straight
But Chucky did not.
So there was Janet
Kneeling on the wet grass, crying her brown hen
(Translated far beyond the daughters of men)
To rise and walk upon it.
And weeping fast as she had breath
Janet implored us, “Wake her from her sleep!”
And would not be instructed in how deep
Was the forgetful kingdom of death.

The Best Things In Life Are Free
(duet with luther vandross)
Janet:
Boy, when you look at me
Do you judge me by my cover?
Ya got to be kiddin me,
To think that Im that kind of lover
I dont mean to disagree
Sorry you cant buy my kisses
Open your heart and see
True love comes for free
Luther:
Im keepin my heart open
Hopin you wont stab me in it
cause Ive been in love before,
And when I had to pay I didnt
Ill lose my sanity
Tryin to measure your intentions
What do you want from me how much will it be?
Janet:
No more than youre willing to give cause
You wont pay nothin for this good lovin
Its for free
Luther:
And I wont make you promises
Ill just do all that I can to be your lover
cause I understand
Chorus:
The best things in life are free
Now that Ive discovered what you mean to me
The best things in life are free
Now that weve found each other
The best things in life are free
Luther:
I know you are my baby
My one and only baby
You said it twice
Ill say it thrice
My baby baby baby
Janet:
I got so much love for you
And its easy to give it
When I know you feel the same way too
Luther:
Thats all I expect from you
Just do all that you can to be my lover
cause I understand (I do)
Repeat chorus
Janet:
No more than youre willing to give cause
You wont pay nothin for this good lovin
Its for free

And I wont make you promises

Were gonna be, Im gonna be
The very best I can
To be your lover cause I understand
