Goodnight Little Houseplant
Goodnight little houseplant asleep on the sill
I'll pull the shades so you don't catch a chill
And tomorrow in the morning don't be breaskfast for two
We'll have ham and eggs for me and nitrogen for you
Goodnight little houseplant tucked in your clay pot
Maske sure you don't catch Huntington's Rot
Remember little houseplant stay away from them bees
I've heard they may carry a social disease
Goodnight little houseplant goodnight
Here's your glass of water should I leave on the light
Tomorrow we'll talk of the things that we did
I love you little house plant who needs women and kids

And We Bid You Goodnight
Lay down my dear brother, lay down and take your rest,
Wont you lay your head upon your saviors chest,
I love you all, but jesus loves you the best
And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight.
I would never ride, well, I would never ride (goodnight, goodnight)
But his rod and his staff, they comfort me (goodnight, goodnight)
Tell a for the ark, that wonderful boat (goodnight, goodnight)
Tell b for the beast at the ending of the wood (goodnight, goodnight)
You know it ate all the children when they wouldnt be good,
Walking in jerusalem just like john (goodnight, goodnight)
I go walking in the valley of the shadow of death,
And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight.

Someones Coming
Goodnight baby,
Someones a-comin, someones a-comin,
Goodnight baby,
Gotta get a-runnin, gotta get a-runnin.
Your father doesnt like me,
Told you that you couldnt see me any more,
Thats why we meet in secret,
Thats why were hiding here.
Goodnight baby,
Same time tomorrow, same time tomorrow,
Goodnight baby,
See you here tomorrow, see you here tomorrow.
Your mother made you stay in,
When she saw you going out with me,
Youll say youll take the dog out,
Then you sneak out here to me.
If your parents find you here,
Youre gonna get a hiding, gonna get a hiding,
So Ill vanish, disappear,
See you here tomorrow, see you here tomorrow.

Goodnight
(orbison/dees)
My lovely woman child
I found you out running wild with someone new
Youve been untrue, and everybody knows were through
But I cant say goodbye to you, no matter what you do
My heart wont let you go, although I know you go
With someone new, I think of you
I think of how you kiss, your tenderness
With all of this, I miss the way you say goodnight
Bittersweet, your kisses, when my heart still misses
The way that things used to be, but I know youre strong for
Other arms you long for, and you can never come back to me
Not just for yesterday, tonight or tomorrow
Ah, but forever
Ill hear you say goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight turned out to be a lie
And I cant help it if I cry
Goodnight my love, sleep tight my love

Goodnight
You thought shyness was to blame
And you'd get to live your life again
When you get to wish everyone goodnight
As the crowd booed out your name
At least they spelled it right, so you don't complain
Why everyone is wishing you goodnight
And maybe I'm wrong
And maybe you're right
What if I was the only one who can say goodnight
It's your heroes who are to blame
Constantly saying things that they don't explain
Well that's too bad, but I still can't say goodnight
And I just can't stay tonight
I woke up saying goodnight
Goodnight

Baby Goodnight
(mike heron)
Producers for bonnie: david mackay, ronnie scott, steve wolfe
He knows the way right to me
Closer than my heartbeat he comes
Moving on my wave-length easy
When we make love completely
Sleepy and soft he breathes
You melt me, you fill me
Baby goodnight, baby goodnight
Simple words, but they mean a lot to me
To fall asleep with your kiss warm on my lips
Baby goodnight, baby goodnight
Sleepy and soft he breathes
You melt me, you fill me
Baby goodnight, baby goodnight
Simple words, but they mean a lot to me
To fall asleep with your kiss warm on my lips
Baby goodnight, baby goodnight
He knows the way right to me
Closer than my heartbeat he comes
Moving on my wave-length easy
When we make love completely
Sleepy and soft he breathes
You melt me, you fill me
Baby goodnight, baby goodnight
Simple words, but they mean a lot to me
To fall asleep with your kiss warm on my lips
Baby goodnight, baby goodnight
Simple words, but they mean a lot to me
Thats as good as a goodnight can be

Eggs
Catch that bird, catching does disgust
And sit it in your hand, like a canary.
It shall fly, flew it did, and lift it first,
This is to make it flight to enlist the fighter
Of the birds on a regular basis.
Catch or teach the birds so that birth may result in death.
Catch us always, for we are birds with eggs,
And eggs are given to us.

Jumbo
Jumbo said to say goodnight, see you in the morning
Please dont lose your appetite, he knows who is yawning
Tomorrow you can climb a mountain
Sail a sailboat through a fountain
Jumbo said to say goodnight, hes a friend of yours
Play no games hed say to me when the light is gone
He is right hed say to me, we know who is wrong
So please dont make no hesitation
There will be no recreation
Jumbo said to say goodnight, hes a friend of yours
Listen, you can chew it if its loud enough you hear it
cos its narrow as a sparrow and it shoots a bow and arrow
Thro a top thats made with powder with a gun its even louder
And its shattering to hear you mustnt listen with your ear
But it gets to you
Yes, yes, yes, it gets to you
Yes, yes, yes, you
Yes, yes, yes, you
Yes, yes, yes, you
Yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes

Lovely, Lovely, Lovely Memories Too
Lovely 6
On Sundays papa buys some kilos of big crabs
He cooks them and puts shredded coconuts inside them
Cooked in pure white coconut oil
All the family prays for this sumptuous dinner
No one is late & everyone is present.
Lovely 7
The white ducks all gather in the backyard during the black night
After eating brown snails in the green ricefield the whole day
Early morning you gather all their white eggs
Scattered everywhere like white stones
Your big brown basket is full as they look at you without any quack.
Lovely 8
It is midnight and everyone is asleep
You hear the slow rain dripping by the window pane
On a nipa roof
As you write your 8th love poem
Her face is still beautiful even when completely asleep
Lovely 9
25 years you have not heard of her
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day
In your email a valentine’s greeting pops up
It is from her and you save it
Tomorrow morning you will open it again
Looking for the right words to read.
Lovely 10
Your music teacher now at 76 drops by
Your house this morning
You are invited for tea in his flower garden
Then he plays some pieces of Mozart
A little white dog wags its tail at you
As your heart jumps with joy.

Wait Until Tomorrow
Well, Im standing here, freezing, inside your golden garden
Uh got my ladder, leaned up against your wall
Tonights the night we planned to run away together
Come on dolly mae, theres no time to stall
But now youre telling me...
I think we better wait till tomorrow
Hey, yeah, hey
(I think we better wait till tomorrow)
Girl, what chu talkin bout ?
(I think we better wait till tomorrow)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Got to make sure its right, so until tomorrow, goodnight.
Oh, what a drag.
Oh, dolly mae, how can you hang me up this way ?
Oh, on the phone you said you wanted to run off with me today
Now Im standing here like some turned down serenading fool
Hearing strange words stutter from the mixed mind of you
And you keep tellin me that ah...
I think we better wait till tomorrow
What are you talkin bout ?
(I think we better wait till tomorrow)
No, cant wait that long
(I think we better wait till tomorrow)
Oh, no
Got to make sure its right, until tomorrow, goodnight, oh.
Lets see if I can talk to this girl a little bit here...
Ow ! dolly mae, girl, you must be insane
So unsure of yourself leaning from your unsure window pane
Do I see a silhouette of somebody pointing something from a tree ?
Click bang, what a hang, your daddy just shot poor me
And I hear you say, as I fade away...
We dont have to wait till tomorrow
Hey !
We dont have to wait till tomorrow
What you say ?
(we dont have to wait till tomorrow)
It must have been right, so forever, goodnight, listen at cha.
(we dont have to wait till tomorrow)
Ah ! do I have to wait ? dont have to wait
(we dont have to wait till tomorrow)
Its a drag on my part
(we dont have to wait till tomorrow) dont have to wait, uh, hmm ! ah, no !
(we dont have to wait till tomorrow)
Dont have to wait, dont have to wait, yeah !
(we dont have to wait till tomorrow)
Dont have to wait, dont have to wait
(we dont have to wait till tomorrow)
Oh, oh
I wont be around tomorrow, yeah !
(we dont have to wait till tomorrow)
Dont have to wait
(we dont have to wait till tomorrow)
Goodbye, bye bye !
(we dont have to wait till tomorrow)
Oh, what a mix up
Oh, you gotta be crazy, hey, ow!
Dont have to wait till tomorrow.

When Tomorrow Comes
Underneath your dreamlit eyes
Shades of sleep have driven you away.
The moon is pale outside
And you are far from here.
Breathing shifts your careless head
Untroubled by the chaos of our lives.
Another day - another night
Has taken you again my dear.
And you know that I'm gonna be the one
Who'll be there
When you need someone to depend upon
When tomorrow comes...
When tomorrow comes...
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea...
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea...
Last night while you were
Lying in my arms
And I was wondering where you were
You know you looked just like a baby
Fast asleep in this dangerous world.
Every star was shining brightly
Just like a million years before.
And we were feeling very small
Underneath the universe.
And you know that I'm gonna be the one
Who'll be there when you need
Someone to depend upon
When tomorrow comes...
When tomorrow comes...

I Dont Wanna Say Goodnight
(al anderson /robert ellis orrall)
Just one innocent smile that I could have missed
Thats all it took to start all this
One word so softly spoken when I needed it most
Why you, why right now, who knows?
And I dont know why this is happenin
Why it feels so right
But I do know I dont wanna say goodnight
Last kiss until tomorrow out on the front porch swing
Till then nothin means anything
And I dont know why this is happenin
Why it feels so right
But I do know I dont wanna say goodnight
I cant let go when Im holdin you tight
All I dream of is that day when we dont have to say goodnight
And I dont know why this is happenin
Why it feels so right
But I do know I dont wanna say goodnight
And I dont know why this is happenin
Why it feels so right
But I do know I dont wanna say goodnight
Just one innocent smile that I could have missed
Thats all it took to start all this
Oh no, I dont wanna say goodnight
Oh no, I dont wanna say goodnight
Oh, I dont wanna say goodnight
Oh no, just wanna hold you tight

Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals.

Dont Let The Sun Catch You Crying
Dont let the sun catch you crying
The nights the time for your tears
Your heart may be broken tonight
But tomorrow in the morning light
Dont let the sun catch you crying
The night-time shadows disappear
And with them go all your tears
But the morning will bring joy
For every girl and boy, so
Dont let the sun catch you crying
They say that cryings not a bad thing
But stop your crying when the birds sing
It may be hard to discover
That youve been left for another
But dont forget that loves a game
And it can always, always come again
So, dont let the sun catch you crying
Dont let the sun catch you crying
Oh, no, no, no, no

Oh you tell me that you love me
Yes you tell me that you care
That tomorrow well be married, oh
But tomorrows never there
Oh tomorrow never, never comes
Oh tomorrow never comes
Now you tell me that you love me, oh
But tomorrow never comes
Many weeks now have I waited
Oh many long nights have I cried
But just to see that happy morning, happy morning
When I have you right by my side
But tomorrow will never come, oh no, no
Tomorrow never gonna come
Now you tell me that you love me
But tomorrow never, never comes
So tomorrow Ill be leaving
Yes tomorrow Ill be gone
But tomorrow youll be weeping, oh
But tomorrow will never, never come

Goodnight, My Love
Goodnight my love, the tired old moon is descending,
Goodnight my love, my moment with you now is ending.
It was so heavenly, holding you close to me,
It will be heavenly to hold you again in a dream,
The stars above have promised to meet us tomorrow,
Til then, my love, how dreary the new day will seem,
So for the present dear, well have to part,
Sleep tight my love, goodnight my love,
Remember that youre my sweetheart.

Why
The sky has fallen on my yesterday
I watch my moon and blue sun (?) slip away
Everybody's asking questions
Everybody's wanting more
Every time I catch myself, I fall
And it's why you ask me
And it's why i don't know
And i try to pull myself togehter
I don't want to go home (?)
The little girl has lost her way today
The tables turning on the game she plays
Everybody's asking questions
Everybody's wanting more
Every time I catch myself, I fall
And it's why you ask me
And it's why I don't know
And I try to pull myself together
I don't want to go home
Every time I catch myself, I fall
And it's why you ask me
And it's why I don't know
And I try to pull myself together
I don't want to go home
And it's why you ask me
And it's why I don't know
And I try to pull myself together
I don't want to go home
Every time I catch myself, I (slip away) fall . . .

For All We Know
For all we know
We may never meet again
Before you go
Make this moment sweet again
We won't say goodnight
Until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand
And my heart will be in it
For all we know
This may only be a dream
We come and go
Like a ripple on a stream
So love me, tonight
Tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come
For all we know
Tomorrow may never come
For all we know

Absoluteless
tomorrow you might wake up in prison or
tomorrow you might have the most amazing orgasm of your life
or tomorrow you might be hit by a semi crossing the street or
tomorrow you might find out your significant other is cheating on you
or tomorrow you might win the lottery or
tomorrow you might get robbed & beat within an inch of your life while you are asleep
or tomorrow you might get hired to work your dream job or
tomorrow you might meet the match to blurt out all other romantic inquiries
or tomorrow you might find out you have a debilitating disease or
tomorrow you might get in a car that runs out of gas & have to walk all the way home
or tomorrow you might travel to your most sought out destination or
tomorrow you might finish your novel
or tomorrow you might win a marathon or
tomorrow you might have a heart attack
or tomorrow you might graduate with a doctorate degree or
tomorrow you might move to your favorite city
or tomorrow you might fall in love again or
tomorrow you might get a drug habit
or tomorrow you might get audited by the IRS or
tomorrow you might get sick of reading this piece
or tomorrow you might stop reading & curse the time spent
having done so.
