Song Of Summer
DIS is gospel weathah sho' —
Hills is sawt o' hazy.
Meddahs level ez a flo'
Callin' to de lazy.
Sky all white wif streaks o' blue,
Sunshine softly gleamin',
D'ain't no wuk hit's right to do,
Nothin' 's right but dreamin'.
Dreamin' by de rivah side
Wif de watahs glist'nin',
Feelin' good an' satisfied
Ez you lay a-list'nin'
To the little nakid boys
Splashin' in de watah,
Hollerin' fu' to spress deir joys
Jes' lak youngsters ought to.
Squir'l a-tippin' on his toes,
So's to hide an' view you;
Whole flocks o' camp-meetin' crows
Shoutin' hallelujah.
Peckahwood erpon de tree
Tappin' lak a hammah;
Jaybird chattin' wif a bee,
Tryin' to teach him grammah.
Breeze is blowin' wif perfume,
Jes' enough to tease you;
Hollyhocks is all in bloom,
Smellin' fu' to please you.
Go 'way, folks, an' let me 'lone,
Times is gettin' dearah —
Summah's settin' on de th'one,
An' I'm a-layin' neah huh!

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

I'm Still Dreamin'
I know people who lose their lovers
Turn around and they find another
Fall in love and then they break up
But I don't know if I want to wake up
'Cause I'm still dreamin'
I'm still dreamin', baby
I'm still dreamin'
Whoa, about you
Other women walk right up to me
I hear them talking but it goes right through me
I know its love that's on the line
But they don't know what's on my mind
Cause I'm still dreamin'
I'm still dreamin', baby
I'm still dreamin'
Whoa, about you
It's like a voice that's always calling
It's like a feeling that I'm always falling
I close my eyes and all I see is you, you, you
Cause I'm still dreamin'
I'm still dreamin', baby
I'm still dreamin'
Whoa, about you
(Key Change)
I'm still dreamin'
I'm still dreamin', baby
I'm still dreamin'
I'm still dreamin', baby
Dreamin about you baby
I'm still dreamin'
Keep on dreamin about you baby
I'm still dreamin'
I'm still dreamin', baby

July In Georgy
I'm back down in ole Georgy w'ere de sun is shinin' hot,
W'ere de cawn it is a-tasslin', gittin' ready fu' de pot;
W'ere de cott'n is a-openin' an' a-w'itenin' in de sun,
An' de ripenin' o' de sugah-cane is mighty nigh begun.
An' de locus' is a-singin' f'om eveh bush an' tree,
An' you kin heah de hummin' o' de noisy bumblebee;
An' de mule he stan's a-dreamin' an' a-dreamin' in de lot,
An' de sun it is a-shinin' mighty hot, hot, hot.
But evehbody is a-restin', fu' de craps is all laid by,
An' time fu' de camp-meetin' is a-drawin' putty nigh;
An' we's put away de ploughshare, an' we's done hung up de spade,
An' we's eatin' watermelon, an' a-layin' in de shade.

Dreamin
Dreamin? i saw a spirit in the sky
Im dreamin? dreaming away again
I felt a cold wind rushing in
And carry me up high
Far above the maddening crowd I fly
Its so exciting
Electrifying
And I can see theres no dreams
Dreamin? i saw a strange light in the sky
Im dreamin? dreaming away again
I felt this power touching me
Reelin? in my lies
Visions came,
My heart began to rise
Its so exciting
Electrifying
I feel the sun is in my dreams
Ive seen the wild side of city lights
Walked the streets where the lightning strikes
Ive heard the thunder and I know
But Ive never had such feelings before
In my dreams
Dreamin? away again
Dreamin? away again
Dreamin? i saw a spirit in the sky
Im dreaming
I saw a strange light in the sky
Im dreaming
I saw a shadow passing by
Im dreaming
Dreamin? away again
Im dreaming
Dreamin? away again
Dreamin? dreamin? away again

Holdin
(kelly garrett/craig wiseman)
Parked down on lovers leap
Steaming up his old heap
Two lovers stare up at the stars
Somewhere in the lights below
Two houses all aglow
Parents wondering where on earth they are
cause their folks have tried to tell them
This is way too serious
And while their mommas are waiting up theyre
Holdin, lovin, kissin, huggin
Come whatever may they keep
Goin, dreamin, smilin, believin
That nothin matters like this love theyre holdin
A few years and some wedding vows
A quarter-acre and a little white house
More than they can well afford
And those easy payments are getting tough
All the overtime aint enough
Still they couldnt ask for more
cause that old hill that theyve been climbin
Might be gettin steep
Oh, but they dont seem to mind it they keep
Holdin, lovin, kissin, huggin
Come whatever may they keep
Goin, dreamin, smilin, believin
That nothin matters like this love theyre holdin
As they rock their newborn baby fast asleep
They know the most important lesson they can teach
Keep on
Holdin, lovin, kissin, huggin
Come whatever may they keep
Goin, dreamin, smilin, believin
That nothing matters, like this love
Theyre holdin, dreamin, goin, knowin, believin,
Nothing matters like this love theyre holdin
Just keep on holdin

I'S feelin' kin' o' lonesome in my little room to-night,
An' my min's done los' de minutes an' de miles,
W'ile it teks me back a-flyin' to de country of delight,
Whaih de Chesapeake goes grumblin' er wid smiles.
Oh, de ol' plantation's callin' to me,

Fu' my sandy roads is gleamin' w'ile de city ways is black;
Come back, honey, case yo' country home is bes'.

An' de bay's a-sayin' 'Howdy' to de lan';
An' de folks is all-a-settin' out erroun' de cabin do',
Wid dey feet a-restin' in de silvah san';
An' de ol' plantation's callin' to me,
Come, oh, come,
F'om de life dat's des' a-waihin' you erway,
F'om de trouble an' de bustle, an' de agernizin' hum
Dat de city keeps ergoin' all de day.
I's tiahed of de city, tek me back to Sandy Side,
Whaih de po'est ones kin live an' play an' eat;
Whaih we draws a simple livin' f'om de fo'est an' de tide,
An' de days ah faih, an' evah night is sweet.
Fu' de ol' plantation's callin' to me,
Come, oh, come.
An' de Chesapeake's a-sayin' 'Dat's de t'ing,'
W'ile my little cabin beckons, dough his mouf is closed an' dumb,
I's a-comin', an' my hea't begins to sing.

Tell Me Im Not Dreamin
(too good to be true)
Moonlight took me by surprise
light coming from your eyes
Are you with me
Am I here with you
Are we in paradise
Tell me Im not dreamin
I know Ive been here before
You go, then you come back for more
Its a mystery how you disappear
Like a shadow in the night
Tell me Im not dreamin
Chorus:
Are you too good to be true
Tell me Im not dreamin
Are you too good to be true
Tell me Im not dreamin
Midnight images of you
You slipped, slipped into my room
Could be magic, could be fantasy
Could it be that were in love
Tell me Im not dreamin
Your voice whispers in the dark
You talk, talking to my heart
Are you with me
Am I here with you
Are we in paradise
Tell me Im not dreamin
(chorus)
When the morning comes
Wake me with your love
Let me know that Im not dreamin
Tell me this is real
Show me how you feel
Say its what we both believe in

Waitin ? when are you gonna come back?
Strung out ? you got me on the rack

Youre takin, Im breakin

Ive got to make you stay
Youre leavin ? Im grievin
Youre sellin ? Im buyin ? youre lyin
Youre prayin and Im layin a plan

Youre leadin me astray

Four oclock Ive been walkin all night
Its the time I always think of you
If you could only see through my eyes
Then youd know just what Im going through
Here am I Im taking a chance
In running around with stars in my eyes

Wondering why do I feel so blue

But in my dreams you always come around

Here am I Im facing the truth
Theres no other way Ill ever make you mine

California Dreamin'
All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A.
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
Stopped in to a church I passed along the way
Well I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray
You know the preacher liked the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
California dreamin' on such a winter's...
California dreamin' on such a winter's...
California dreamin' on such a winter's day...
All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
If I didn't tell her I could leave today
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
California dreamin' on such a winter's...
California dreamin' on such a winter's...
California dreamin' on such a winter's day...
On such a winter's day...
California dreamin' on such a winter's...

Dreamin Man
Im a dreamin man, yes, thats my problem
I cant tell when Im not being real.
In the meadow dusk I park my aerostar
With a loaded gun and sweet dreams of you.
Ill always be a dreamin man
I dont have to understand
I know its alright.
I see your curves and I feel your vibrations
You dressed in black and white, you lost in the mall
I watch you disappear past club med vacations
Another sleepless night, a sun that wont fall.
Ill always be a dreamin man
I dont have to understand
I know its alright.
Now the night is gone, a new day is dawning
And our homeless dreams go back to the street
Another time or place, another civilization
Would really make this life feel so complete.
Ill always be a dreamin man
I dont have to understand
I know its alright.

What I'm Dreamin' Of (Love Ballad) :
She's the girl on my mind.
She is there all the time.
She is what I'm dreamin' of..
She's like the cool breeze of summer.
As it crosses the ocean.
She is like the candlelight.
She is like the candlelight.
She's the girl on my mind.
She is there all the time.
She is what I'm dreamin' of.
What I'm dreamin' of..
She's like a kite on a string.
Like a bird out in flight.
Like a feather in the wind.
Like a feather in the wind.
She's the girl on my mind.
She is there all the time.
She is what I'm dreamin' of.
What I'm dreamin' of..
She's like a boat on a river.
Like a ship on the ocean.
Like a sailboat out to sea.
A sailboat out to sea..
She's the girl on my mind.
She is there all the time.
She is what I'm dreamin' of.
What I'm dreamin' of...
What I'm dreamin' of...

Dreamin On
She takes the heart of mine
She make it beat in time
In fact shes mine forever
And Ill never ever know the reason why
Funny how she writes letters to me
Shes only human but she keeps goin through me
We came to love in the neighborhood
And the love dont cease to grow
And if you need me darlin
Ill be dreamin on
Dreamin on for you baby
Dreamin on for you woman-child
Dreamin on for you baby
She makes the skies grow dark
She makes the darkness bright
She make the wind grow warm in
The wake of another cold and stormy night
And anywhere she needs me Ill be runnin to
cause she fits me like a glove
And tho Id really like to be with you
She gave me love when there was no love
And I would not let her go
So if you need me darlin
Ill be dreamin on
Dreamin on for you baby
Dreamin on for you woman-child
Dreamin on for you baby

Dreamin on for you baby
Dreamin on for you woman-child

I kin stan' de chilly springtime in de ploughland, but dat's all;
Fu' de ve'y hottes' fiah nevah tells my skin a t'ing,
W'en de snow commence a-flyin', an' de win' begin to sing.
Dey is plenty wood erroun' us, an' I chop an' tote it in,
But de t'oughts dat I 's a t'inkin' while I 's wo'kin' is a sin.

But my hea't is full o' cuss-wo'ds w'en I's trampin' thoo de snow.

Dreamin
I sit and wonder
How my life would be
If you were here with me
What a beautiful fantasy
Early in the morning
I find myself with tears in my eyes
From a dream that youre featured in
And it hurts deep inside
To know that you wont let me in to your life
And I wonder why
Im going crazy
I keep thinking about your foolish smile
Here I go I just cant stop
Dreamin
Dreamin
All the time
Im dreamin of all the joy we could have baby
Dreamin
Dreamin
For your heart
Im dreamin of all the love that we could share
Its my decision
To leave you now
Just because it hurts too much
Knowing youll never give enough
But how I long to
Experience the magic of your touch again
Now youre always on my mind
I just cant stop
Dreamin
Dreamin
All the time
Im dreamin of all the time we could have baby
Dreamin

For your heart
Im dreamin of all the love that we could share
I think of the time we had
Youre making me want you so bad
Im watching you walk away
But I wish I could make you stay
The only thing that I can do
Is baby baby to dream of you
I wake up in the morning thinking bout you baby
All the time and the time that we could be together yeah

Nothin' On But The Radio
I sure do hope this is a long night
Cause I have never felt one so right
Each look into your eyes, I'm fallin'
A little more and more
Looks like we started us a fire
Wrapped up in flames of desire
With every touch, they're burnin' higher
Two shadows dancin' on the wall
With nothin' on but the radio
Feel the music playin' soft and slow
You and me and the lights down low
With nothin' on but the radio
We'll fall asleep here in the moonlight
In tangled sheets, we'll be here all night
And when we wake up in the morning
We might stay like this all day
Two people meant to be together
Two lovers dreamin' of forever
And it just keeps on gettin' better
With every tender little kiss
Nothin' on but the radio
Feel the music playin' soft and slow
You and me and the lights down low
With nothin' on but the radio
Two people meant to be together
Two lovers dreamin' of forever
And it just keeps on gettin' better

Shes Callin It Love
(sunny russ)
Everybodys callin it a real big shame
She keeps lettin him treat her that way
Hes older and hes wild
Shes such a pretty child
He must be thinkin bout one thing
But there are stars in her eyes
cause shes thinkin he might
Give her that class ring
Chorus:
Shes got his picture in a frame
A heart untamed
Callin his house three times a day
She thinks its all shell ever dream of
And shes callin it love
Shes callin it love
Daddy knows his babys headed for a heartache
And that part of growin up is learnin from mistakes
But he cant let her go
Cause he knows
That boys nothin but bad news
But daddy cant control her
Shes getting older
Theres nothin anyone can do
She might get hurt along the way
But shes gettin older
Theres nothin anyone can do
She might get hurt along the way
But shes gonna find true love someday
Shes callin it love
Shes callin it love
Shes callin it love
Shes callin it love

Dreamin
For the life of me
I never thought that it could be
The way it stands right now
Emotions running high
Every night I wish that i
Could tell you how I feel
Those words are here in my heart
Oh but there is just one missing part
How to put it together
How to say it right
And let you know that
Every night
Ill be dreamin
Dreamin
Hoping baby you will be there
Ill be dreamin
Dreamin
Hoping baby you will be there
Let me take time out
To try and find out
If this could be real
Cause reality scares me
Ive been living a fantasy
How should I feel
Those words are here in my heart
Oh but there is just one missing part
How to put it together
How to say it right
And let you know that
Every night
