What Are Friends For? Really?
they are not goods, neither are they chattels,
neither are they investments something that you
sell, or buy, or make as a security for
an undertaking,
they are not taken for some schemes,
for some needs, like the need to be in
or just let the hours pass by, beating boredom
and fatigue,
they are not puppets where you pull them with
your strings from your fingers
neither are they muppets that you put
in your hands
they are not your tools like shovels and
pliers, neither are they your utensils for eating
like spoons and forks,
they are not the notes in your diary
or the dog ears in your book
or the things-to-be-done
they serve no ends, they are not measures,
when they come and you share your time with them
they make hours irrelevant
they make life livable, they make you belong to
a beautiful world where the birds are singing,
where the clouds drift, where the rivers flow,
where the skies are bluer than blue
they make the sun smile and they
make the moon speak and they make the
pond teem with fish
and foremost, as they all say,
they also tell you who you are.

Since We Are Still Here
since we are still here
we make the best we can
to make the stay
worth the while
we may have longer hours
of boredom
we may have more hours
for the small stuff
we sweat all these out
small stuff, little things, trivial matters
somehow we ask why?
oh, these little things if we do not mind
they make the boat leak
they make us sick & make the boat sink

You Make Me
You make me wanna slam my head against the wall
You make me do the limbo
You make me wanna buy a slurpee at the mall
You make me watch the gong show
Theres really something kinda strange about you, baby, but I cant exactly seem to put my finger on it
You make me
You make me
You make me
Thats what you do to me
You make me wanna hide a weasel in my shorts
You make me wanna phone home
You make me wanna write a dozen book reports
Then pack myself in styrofoam
Sometimes you make me want to build a model of the eiffel tower out of belgian waffles
You make me
You make me
You make me
Thats what you do to me
(you make me) thats what you do
(you make me) thats what you do
(you make me) thats what, what you do to me
You make me wanna hang out in a trailer park
Then take my hamster to the beach
You make me wanna do my laundry in the dark
And use a recommended bleach
When Im with you I dont know whether I should study neurosurgery or go to see the care bears movie
You make me
You make me
You make me
Thats what you do to me
(you make me) thats what you do
(you make me) thats what you do
(you make me) thats what, what you do to me
Thats what you do to me
Thats what you do to me
Thats what you do to me
You make me wanna break the laws of time and space
You make me wanna eat pork
You make me wanna staple bagels to my face
Then remove em with a pitchfork
You know theres something quite unusual about you but I cant exactly seem to put my finger on it
You make me
You make me
You make me
Thats what you do to me
(you make me) thats what you do
(you make me) thats what you do
(you make me) thats what, what you do to me
(you make me) thats what you do
(you make me) thats what you do
(you make me) thats what you do-do-do-do-do to me
(you make me) thats what you do
(you make me) thats what you do
(you make me) thats what you do to me

You
you make me smile
you make me laugh
you could make me cry
but you don’t
you could tell me no
but you don’t
you could make me hate you
but you don’t
you could make me have sex with you
but you wont
you could make me do a lot of things
but all you want to do
is make me fall deeper in love with you
and
make me feel
like an angel

Cry Again
its difficult to love you
when you do the things you do
time and time again
and when i try to play it wrong
you turn from smooth
you play it rough once again
you make me cry
you make me cry again
you make me cry
you make me cry again
you make me cry
you make me cry
saturday, same old story
Sunday mornings wounded glory repeats again
and every day a dream is born
is counted by a love thats torn, deep again
you make me cry
you make me cry again
and the tears roll by
you make me cry again
you make me cry
and you make me cry
you make me cry
you make me cry again
tide? that turns me into this ocean
subsides again
so high and so dry
with this bitter emotion lies again
you make me cry
you make me cry
and you make me cry
stop making me cry
stop making me cry
and you make me cry
you make me cry

One Of The Few
When youre one of the few to land on your feet
What do you do to make ends meet?
Teach
Make them mad, make them sad, make them add two and two
Make them me, make them you, make them do what you want them to
Make them laugh, make them cry, make them lie down and die

Please smile to me
I would do anything to see you for a while
I can walk a thousand mile
to make you feel better... to make you smile
I would do anything to make you glad
You don't understand how I go mad
If I hear you sound sad
I would do anything for you
to make you pass this mood through
to cheer you up from feeling so blue
If only you tell me what to do
If only you give me any clue
If only I know the key
to make you smile to me
Smile to me..
Please smile to me

Make Believe
Make believe U're a hero, make believe U're a star
Make believe that U're somebody instead of who U really are
Make believe
It's only a movie
U don't need 2 scratch 4 crumbs when U deserve the whole cake
Make believe U're Sidney Poitier, believe, U gotta make believe
U got 2 make believe, U got 2 make believe
Baby, U got 2 make believe it's only a movie
Make believe U're sophisticated, make believe that U're en vogue
Make believe that U're quite wealthy even though
U're so broke U can't pay attention
Baby, U got 2 make believe, U got 2 make believe
Make believe it's only a movie
Make believe U're a star
U got 2 make believe, U got 2 make believe
U got 2 make believe, U got 2 make believe

You Cant Make Love
You can make money, you can make good
Friends
You can make mistakes and you can make
Amends
You can make it easy when push comes to
Shove, but-
You cant make love
You can make advances, you can make
Big plans
Plant sloppy kisses all over her hands
You can tell her everything youre dreamin
Of, but-
You cant make love
Loves a little word that been kicked around
Used too much, beaten down
What in the world are you thinkin of?
You cant make love
You can go through the motions with your
Magic spells
Buy all the potions that fifth avenue sells
You can try to call down all the stars above,
But-
You cant make love
You can buy her diamonds, you can go out in style
You can make a promise, you can walk
Down the aisle
You can make a life for her that fits like
A glove, but-
You can t make love
Oh, it takes so long
You gotta be strong
Before its gone
What in the world where you thinkin of,
Boy-
You cant make love

The Way
The way your heart beats when I hold you tight
The way you sigh when we kiss goodnight
The way the wind blows through the trees
Well hey, thats the way you belong to me
The way you warm me baby when Im cold
The way you make me want you body and soul
The way the rivers run to the sea
Well hey, thats the way you belong to me
The way you soothe me when Im in pain
The way you make the blood rush in my veins
The way the winds rush through the trees
Well hey, thats the way you belong to me
When I lose faith you take my hand
The way you make me feel like Im a man
The way the sun belongs to the sea
Well hey, thats the way you belong to me
The way you make me feel like I belong
And if I could girl though I know itd be wrong
Id lock you deep inside
till the last rains fall
And hide you from the emptiness of it all
Sometimes at night I lie awake
I pull you close and feel each breath you take
The way the rivers belong to the seas
Well hey, thats the way you belong to me
Well hey, thats the way you belong to me

We Can Make It
I would do anything, anything a man can do
Youre my strength and weakness
I give it all for you
I would climb any mountain
How can I make you see?
Though the stars may fall, it will always be you and me
The light in your eyes is all the hope I need
Theres so much you can give
Your smile is my reason to live
Just take my hand, well make a stand
I know that we can make it
(hey) its you and me. the world will see
I know that we can make it, you and me
I see you, full of sadness
Wondering bout this world weve made
Theres a space between us all
Love has seen some better days
Oh we can make it
Oh we can make it
The love in your eyes is all I need to know
Im never letting go
Im here for you heart and soul
Just take my hand, well make a stand
I know that we can make it
(hey) its you and me, the world will see
I know that we can make it
I know that we can make it (hey, yeah)
Just take my hand, well make a stand
I know that we can make it
(hey) its you and me. the world will see
I know that we can make it
I know that we can make it
You and me

Its The Way You Treat Me
you make me happy you can make me sad
you keep me good youve turned me bad
but each time you do i like you more and more
you touch my heart deep in the core
anyone can make me smile anyone can make me cry
but only you can make me feel like a special guy
you do those things that no one understands
and make yourself unexplored lands
but as i see you everyday
i think to myself that to me your always ok
but your more than that arnt you
because everyday you make me berable too
youre the only one that can
and the only one that can understand me
and what id like to say is that
you mean everything to me dont you see.

Make Tomorrow
Put on the dress in which you were married
Pull down the veil til your eyes are hid
Can you remember where we both came from
Let us do as we did
Look at tomorrow today
Making tomorrow today
Making tomorrow today
Making tomorrow today
Make tomorrow
Make tomorrow
Make tomorrow today
Make tomorrow
Make tomorrow
Make tomorrow today
Put back the photo under your window
Put down the phone that you hold in your hand
Put away these things that stand in between us
Let us be what we can
When it seems
Hopeless
When it seems
Hopeless
Make tomorrow
Make tomorrow
Make tomorrow today
Make tomorrow
Make tomorrow
Make tomorrow today

Make tomorrow today
What better measure of what you were doing here
Then what you can leave behind
All the children of your children's children
Do you ever think what they're going to find
Make tomorrow
Make tomorrow
Where the sacred meet the scared
Make tomorrow
Make tomorrow
Where the dreamer's dream is dared
In each of us
A dream can burn like the sun
Let's try it all one more time
To get this lesson learned
Sitting up in a spaceship
Looking down at the earth
You wonder what they all stuggling for
What's it all really worth
Making tomorrow today
Making tomorrow today
Make tomorrow
Make tomorrow

Early Works - For There Is Only One You
I can make birds
to fly across a sky of blue.
I can make fish
to swim in the sea too,
but I can’t make an angel
for there is only one you.
I built a dream of hope;
it crumbled around me like burnt rope.
I built a dream of happiness,
but it tumbled around me like shattered glass.
I can make homes
for people to live.
I can make love
and to you I can give,
but I can’t make an angel
for there is only one you.
Date unknown. (Probably in the 1960’s)

Time Time Time
Cause time cant make things better
Cause time cant make things right
Cause time cant change are past
I’ll keep holding on, Being strong, for you
I’ll keep being strong, seeing through, for you
Cause time cant make things better
Cause time cant make things right
Cause with time you never know better
Cause time cant make a change
Cause with time we cant complain
I’ll hold on to you with all the time in the world
If time could give that time back with you again
Oh how id be true to you
oh how id hold you in my arms
But time cant make things better
Cause time cant make things right
Say id hold you from now in till forever tonight
Yah tonight
But cant make things better
No time cant make things right
If with time we only knew better and make it right
Cause time we cant change
But time cant make things better
Cause time cant make things right
Say id hold you from now in till forever tonight
Yah tonight
But cant make things better
No time cant make things right
If with time we only knew better and make it right
Cause time we cant change
Cause with time we cant complain
I’ll hold to you forever
I’ll make it seem better
I’LL keep holding on being strong for you
Ill keep holding on seeing through for you
And I’ll hold you in my arms
Will dance under the moon
Baby I promise you will be together real soon
I got time on my hands Time on my hand
I give it all away to see you again
Just to see you again
In the futures of time

Make The World Go Away
(words & music by hank cochran)
Make the world go away
Get it off my shoulder
Say the things we used to say
And make the world, make it go away
Do you remember when you loved me
Before the world took you away
Well if you do, then forgive me
And make the world, make it go away
Make the world go away
Get it off my shoulder
Say the things we used to say
And make the world, make it go away
Now Im sorry if I hurt you
Let me make it up to you day by day
And if you will please forgive me
And make the world, make it go away
Make the world go away
Get it off my shoulder
Say the things we used to say
And make the world, make it go away

Logical Song
Let me tell you what I want to say
You're the only one who can make me feel this way
My kind of lady
No better love could I embrace
No better heart, no other face
Can quite compare with you
You came along and then you mend my broken dreams
I was so down and then as foolish as it seems
You gave me your affection
Yeh baby you came through
We'll make it you'll see
In spite of those who say it's wrong
This time we feel that we belong
Now we can truly say
We'll be together and that's all we'll ever need
We'll love each other, that's the way it's gonna be
And nothin' under the sun of moon
Can make us be apart
Oh my honey
You know I'll love you every day
When things go wrong we'll find a way
I'm so glad I met you
Much more than I can ever say
We're making plans and holding hands just like before
We'll try again, we'll make amends along the road
It's fellin' good, just like it should, this time we know
We'll share each other's happiness for now and evermore
I've been wastin' my life away
I've got a message for you today
To tell you that you are
My kind of lady
I'm not the same since I met you
All of my dreams had fallen through
And then you came along
One magic night when things went right it was so fine
Looked in your eyes and realized that you were mine
And nothin' under the sun of moon
Can make us be apart
Oh my baby
You know I'll love you all the way
When times get hard we'll smile and say
I'm so glad I met youI'll love you more and more each day
We're making plans and holding hands just like before
We'll try again, we'll make amends along the road
It's fellinc

My Dream Regarding The Two Beautiful Birds
i
how do you get to
hit two beautiful birds
with a single
stone?
ii
or how to make these two
beautiful birds to get to stay
beside my window sill?
iii
how do i make these two beautiful birds
happier?
shall i make a bird house on a tree
beside my house
and give them grains every morning of the day?
iv
how do i make this dream about two beautiful birds
into a reality? they keep on chirping inside my mind
wanting to be given the realistic form of wings
like some eyebrows
wings flapping just above my eyes
the mountains my cheeks
my mind the skies
