Do Not Expect Much In Life
to be happy
only be ready with what life is giving you
do not demand much
do not look for what is not there
take what is available
love when love is there
when nothing seems to go right
forget it
settle, stay, be still
nothing to argue
we thrive only with what is given us
nothing to grab
for there is always a space reserved for us
in the parking lot
for free
if there is no food
why not enjoy the air and the sea
and the birds in the air
and the scenery of mountains wearing snow caps
and the river singing
a song for you
mind you
you are loved and cared for
like the sparrows without specific address
in the sky
take care
good luck
enjoy the supply of life
while it lasts

Enjoy Your Life To The Full
Enjoy your life
to the very full
Be kind to someone
everyday,
Spend your days
doing what you love
Let your friends
have their say,
Be happy with
what you've got
Climb mountains
wearing happy fun,
Indeed the sun will
warm your very spot
Then life will grow you
all your needs,
For you are sowing
all the seeds.

Joy for Ever More.
I enjoy the beautiful morning sky,
The song of the birds when they fly low and high.
I enjoy the soft furry cats,
When they walk purring up on my chest.
I enjoy everything in Heaven and on the Earth,
Those are the gifts from God after a new birth,
Peace for the mind, joy for the body,
Life is wonderful and I am happy.
Joy, joy, joy for my world and for me,
Everyone and everything belongs to me and to Thee.
Let us live in our highest wisdom,
You and I are one in God's perfect, wonderful,
Happy and rich kingdom.

Enjoy This
Enjoy this care of my love and let me lead you on,
Enjoy this love from my heart and let me stay with you,
Enjoy this life around us and let us be together as one,
For the structure of this building around is our hope;
And the side rooms and the slide doors will lead us on in peace.

Settle Down
Album: Eternal (2001)
[Chorus]
Do you think you're ready
To settle down, settle down babe
Do you think you're ready
To settle down with me babe
Do you think you're ready
To settle down, settle down with me babe
Settle down with me, babe
Settle down
Would you like a house on the hill
Overlooking the ocean side
Tell me, would you like that baby
Or how about a high-rise apartment
In Manhattan on the east side
If that's what you need
I'm here to please
Won't you settle down with me, baby
[Chorus]
We could take a jet plane all the way to Spain
Just to buy you a wedding ring
Tell me, would you like that baby
Oh, talk to me girl
We could get married on Christmas day
On the shores of Montego Bay
If that's what you need
I'm here to please
Won't you settle down with me
If you're ready
Only if you're ready
To settle down, settle down babe
Tell me if you're ready, ready yeah
To settle down with me babe
Do you think you're ready
To settle down, settle down with me babe
Settle down, settle down
Settle down
I'm not trying to buy your love
Money ain't in it
You can't put a rpice on love
Tell me if I'm worthy of
Worthy of you're hand
Girl let's start making plans
You're shining like a star above
You're the light of my life
Oh girl, be my wife
Settle down baby
Oh but first
Do you think you're ready
To settle down, settle down babe
I wanna know if you're ready, tell me baby
To settle down with me babe
Do you think you're ready
To settle down, settle down with me babe
Settle down babe
Settle down
Ooh
oh, whoa
Oooh
No no no no no no no
Yeah yes
Oh settle down babe
Settle down
You tell me when you're ready
(I'm ready, I'm ready)
Do you think you're ready
(I, yes I am baby)
Please tell me
(You already know)
When you're ready
(Yes I'm ready)
Then We can settle down
(Settle down babe)
Settle down
(I'm ready)
I wanna know if you're ready
Oh wee, oh it feels like you're ready babe
I can tell if you're ready
We need to settle down babe
Settle down

A Song For You
(leon russell)
Ive been so many places
In my life and time
Ive sung a lot of songs
I made some bad rhymes
Ive acted out my life in stages
Ten thousand people watching
But were alone now
Im singing this song for you
I know your image of me
Is what I hope to be
I treated you unkindly
But darling cant you see?
Theres no-one more important to me
Oh, baby, cant you please see through me?
cause were alone now and
Im singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets
Of the truth withholding nothing
You came out in front
I was hiding
Oh, but now Im so much better
If the words dont come together
Just listen to the melody
cause my love in there hiding
Ooh, ooh
Oh, I love you in a place
Where theres no space or time
Love you for my life
You are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and
I was singing this song for you
We were alone
I was singing this song for you, oh
Singing
I was singing, singing, singing, singing, singing this song for you
Oh, yes
Singing this song for you

Me And Nature
I love to enjoy the wind that
rule the shore of the ocean,
i love to enjoy the wild sun
of Africa and the expatacular
snow of of europe,
i love to enjoy the beauty and
the fragrance of flower that
grace the soil of Africa (Europe,
America) .
I love to enjoy the divine beauty
of the sky at nite when the sun
and the stars proof their worth,
i love to enjoy the rain so when
it pour i dance my way through
it.
I love to enjoy the green grass so
when am within them i feel them
with my hands
i love to enjoy the sweet melodies
of the brids, the sound of the
flute and that of the drum.
I love to enjoy nature..

Hurry Before You Perish
Time is running out
Hurry before you perish
Smile and laugh
As much as you can
Love every near and dear
Enjoy life without any fear
Let the eyes see
Wonders of nature
The flowing rivers,
The rising seas,
High mountains,
And the green trees
Listen to the music of birds
Smell the
Fragrance of flowers
Play in the snow
Wander in the jungles
Nobody knows
When one has to leave
So don’t waste your time
Live life with pleasure
Enjoy it to the fullest

Give Joy
Life is for a day or two
So try in it to sincerely view
And collect things for you to enjoy
Like finding comfort in giving joy
For when you give out some love
It comes back as a gift of above
And also carries in it some care
That's a constant source of cheer
And when you give care to all
Then it breaks the trouble's wall
And you start feeling good 'n nice
And you feel its joy dear twice
So always remember and keep in mind
That when you want something to find
Then find comfort in giving joy
For its a constant source to enjoy.

I've Been Such A Lucky Fellow
If I should die tomorrow I've had a happy life
Never had a major accident and never known heartbreak
Never known what it's like to be really hungry and lady luck's been kind to me
And every morning after six as a free man I awake
To the pleasant sounds of Nature of Mother Nature's family
The wild birds chirping and singing on every bush and tree
And light of day is shining in through my window pane
And who would not feel happy another day to see.
I am such a lucky fellow I've had a happy life
I've never been in prison and the gift of freedom I enjoy
I could have been born in a Third World Country living in dire poverty
And though not a money millionaire few luckier than I.
I am such a lucky fellow lady luck is kind to me
And my healthy though ageing body is free of any ache or pain
And though I am not seen as wealthy or successful I have never known poverty
And I've never known of the heavy crosses of which others can complain.

A Grease Called Happiness
Don't you think you deserve a break today?
We do— Because we love to see you smile.
So enjoy yourself the McDonald's way.
We'd love for you to stay with us a while.
It's always a good time for a great taste,
So be with us—Be with folks, food, and fun.
All our leftover food will go to waste.
Why not consume it until there is none?
Believe us: what you want is what you get.
Be fulfilled by a grease called happiness.
We want you to have a branded diet—
In love with the Arch's almightiness.
Feed your inner child—and belligerence.
We hope that you'll enjoy the difference.

This Is Living
(words & music by weisman - wise)
This is living, full of fun and free
This is living, thats the life for me
Its good to laugh and sing, dont worry about a thing
Wear a happy smile, cut loose and run a mile
If you relax and just enjoy it all, life has got to be a ball
This is living, full of fun and free
This is living, thats the life for me
It wouldnt mean a thing
If I could be a king
I really wouldnt care
To be a millionaire
Id rather find someone to love a lot
Live and give it all Ive got
This is living, full of fun and free
This is living, thats the life for me
Dont wanna settle down
I gotta move around
I gotta lot of time
Im gonna wait and find
The kinda girl whos heart is restless too
The kind who feels the way I do
This is living, full of fun and free
This is living, thats the life for me

A New Horizon
Once my heart was stolen
And I thought my mind was gone along,
Like a flower without pollen,
I found myself singing a sad song
Desperately navigating in the dark,
I looked for sanity, I looked for the light,
Unaware that in a new journey I embarked,
To seek a new horizon and highlights
Now, realizing it was my destiny,
I let life takes its own course,
Knowing that nothing lasts for infinity,
I face reality without any remorse
Happily, with a new mind and heart,
I found the secret to fully enjoy my life:
"From my past I must forever depart
And never again my destiny defy"

And... The River Runs Through It
Those sweet memories still linger in my mind
The chain of mountains, The birds singing their song,
The outspread meadows...
And the river that runs through it!
I still see us walking along the river bank holding each other's hand.
And as we lie down on the grass, Interlocked in arms, looking at the sky,
The rock sings for us, a melodious song,
As the river runs through it!
I still go there
Sometimes in dreams and sometimes in real.
The birds are still singing and the rock still sings.
Everything is unchanged except the fact that
You are nowhere to be seen.
You have crossed over to the other side of the river,
The outstretched field of heaven!
And as I sit on the grass, sorrow grips my mind
And... The river runs through it!

Enjoy
Enjoy these instants afforded you before they pass away.
If love is your password, happiness will mark your stay.
There is no better investment than time with family and friends.
There's no better feeling than the effect that your love sends.
Take time out of each day and enjoy what's important in your life.
Then dismiss time consuming, unimportant things that cause strife.
Enjoy today without worrying about what will happen tomorrow.
Present is past in a moment and time is a thing you can't borrow.
Before clock or events can ever so quickly alter your tenuous fate,
Enjoy, enjoy your wonderful, loving life; it's still not too late!

If You Only
If you only loved me
if you only cared
then we could find our paradise
and live forever there somewhere.
If you only wanted me
the way that I want you
then we could live together
in a perfect harmony
However, there are barriers
we both have to over come.
We have lives complicated
that won’t let our dreams through.
If only life was simpler
if only our lives were free,
we could enjoy the happiness
everyone wants us to enjoy.

I Love Only You
I like to drink my beer
Spend time with the boys
After work, to down a few
Is something I enjoy
And sometimes I stay out too late,
Yes I know its true
But I love only you.
And I like to take life easy
Work out in the yard
Sleep late on the weekends
After an all-night game of cards
And drivin my old chevy
On a sunday afternoon
But I love only you
I like my old guitar
And Id like to be a star and shine on you
Id like to write a song
The whole world could sing along
I love only you
I like my old memories
The girls I used to know
Some of them still have a place
My mind likes to go
Of all the ones Ive cared for
Lord knows theres been a few
But I love only you
Honey, I love only you.
