Alive

Al, he sells records down on old st. charleys street
Hes cleaning up fat tuesdays mess he keeps the sidewalks neat
And he just lost his father and he just lost his wife
And if it wasnt for the music he couldnt get on with his life
And he knows what I know
Its not all that hard to survive
You take the good and the bad and the time in between
It lets us know were alive
Well now be bes singing gospel
And down on bourbon she sings the blues
She plays on all my heart strings curls my toes up in my shoes
And she knows what Im after
Chase my dreams with all my might
She says you shouldnt be so anxious and deep down I know shes right
And she knows what I know
Its not all that hard to survive
You take the good and the bad and the time in between
It lets us know were alive
Well get on board the rocket
Step right into the front car
You know lifes a roller coaster
It aint got no safety bar
Raise your voices up with laughter
Bring it in with one big sigh
Consecrated in the wonder .... were alive
Norman he plays music but only in my dreams
Shows me all the beauty that soulful music brings
But sometimes hes a spectre and I wake up clenched with fear
But lesson good or bad he always keeps me clear
And he knows what I know
Its not all that hard to survive
You take the good and the bad and the time in between
It lets us know were alive

I play the stereo loud

When I receive my monthly telephone bill
But you say it, and Ill pay it
cause it just helps me to
Chorus:
Survive (survive), stay alive

Survive, stay alive
Cant say where it ends
Clouds lift and therere mountains below
Been awhile since Ive seen any snow
Its chillin, so thrillin, so good to be back
Feels nice, to be home for awhile
Lets sip champagne till we break into smiles
Well go dancin, romancin
cause youre the reason i
Chorus:
Survived (survived), stayed alive
Through the thick and the thin
Survive, stay alive
Where will it all end
But my bags aint unpacked

Through the thick and the thin

And go right on a talkin all your intellectual chatter
Well all that jivin, it aint true

You know I didnt get her back, people

Juke Box Music

Theres a lady plays her favrite records
On the jukebox evry day.
All day long she plays the same old songs,
And she believes the things that they say.
Other ladies like to prance around
And flirt and dance the whole night through,
But she just sits and listens to here juke box records,
cause thats all that she wants to do.
She sings along with all the saddest songs,
And she believes the stories are real.
She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Its only juke box music,
Only juke box music.
Its only music,
Only juke box music,
Only juke box music.
Seems to me shes in a fantasy.
Shes livin in a world of her own.
And we all agree that shes a mystery,
Because shed rather be all alone.
Evry guy will do his best to try
To put that music out of her head.
Forget all the songs,
And just dance to the music instead.
Its only juke box music,
Only juke box music.
Its only music,
Only juke box music,
Only juke box music.
Its all because of that music
That were slowly driftin apart.
But its only there to dance to,
So you shouldnt take it to heart.
Music, only juke box music.
Only music, only juke box music.
(repeat)

Have A Good Time

Words & music by paul simon
Yesterday it was my birthday
I hung one more year on the line
I should be depressed
My lifes a mess
But Im having a good time
Oo, Ive been loving and loving and loving
Im exhausted from loving so well
I should go to bed
But a voice in my head
Says ah, what the hell
Have a good time
Have a good time
Have a good time
Have a good time
Paranoia strikes deep in the heartland
But I think its all overdone
Exaggerating this and exaggerating that
They dont have no fun
I dont believe what I read in the papers
Theyre just out to capture my dime
I aint worrying
And I aint scurrying;
Im having a good time
Have a good time
Have a good time
Have a good time
Have a good time
Maybe Im laughing my way to disaster
Maybe my race has been run
Maybe Im blind to the fate of mankind
But what can be done?
So God bless the goods we was given
And God bless the u. s. of a.
And God bless our standard of livin
Lets keep it that way
And well all have a good time
Repeat and fade:
Have a good time
Have a good time
Have a good time
Have a good time

The Dream Is Still Alive

Not so long ago we were so in phase
You and I could never forget the days
But then the fire seemed to flicker
Cold wind came and it carried us away
But well get back someday, baby
The dream is still alive
Look here in my eyes
Can you see what Im feeling?
The dream is still alive
The one of you and i
And my heartache is healing
I couldnt let it die
No I knew it would survive
The dream is still alive
Not so long ago in a purple haze
People dreamed out loud they were not afraid
They stopped the war but not the dying
Some got a little bit lost along the way
But somehow were here today
And we say
The dream is still alive
After all this time
The flame keeps on burning
The dream is still alive
The one of you and i
And my heartache is healing
I couldnt let it die
No I knew it would survive
The dream is, the dream is still alive
Oh yeah..
The dream is still alive
Look here in my eyes
Can you see what Im feeling
The dream is still alive
The one of you and i
And my heartache is healing
I couldnt let it die
For all the times we tried
The dream is still alive

New York City Rhythm

Words by Marty Panzer
Music by Barry Manilow
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When my heart is torn apart
by love I wish I had,
Well, I spend my nights in the city's lights
and things don't seem so bad.
Ya know the movement seems to soothe me,
and the temp takes control,
and I lose my blues
when the Ne w York City rhythm fill my soul;
it's the New York City rhythm runnin' thru' my life,
the pounding beat of the city streets
that keeps mydreams alive.
I'm lost, I'm found, I'm up, I'm down,
but somehow I survive.
It's got to be the New Y ork City rhythm in my life,
It's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life,
in my life.
When I'm out for love or sin,
Oh, it's good to be in town,
In the funky dives on the old west sid
there's always somethin' goin' down.
Oh yes , I live my life with strangers,
and the danger's always there,
but when I hit Broadway and it's time to play,
ya know that I don't care;
It's the New York City rhythm runnin' thru my life,
the poundin' beat of the city streets
that kee ps my dreams alive.
I'm lost, I'm found, I'm up, I'm down, ,
but somehow I survive.
It's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life,
in my life.
City rhythm, oo city rhythm.

Lets Be Friends

(words & music by arnold - morrow - martin)
Dont be afraid, you and I were made the same little one
And I know what its like when you feel left out of the game little one
But if you take this helping hand that I lift
Then we can smile together, lets be friends
The world that you see may seem to be a mystery to you
The night may be dark but hope very hard and dreams can come true
You live in silence but for once lets pretend
Were talking here together, lets be friends
Youre not alone, Ive always known that wed get along
And someone I know says life is good and he cant be wrong
Theres fun and laughter just waiting round the bend
Lets find them now together, lets be friends
Lets find them now together, lets be friends

We Do What We Can

Downstairs they're playing Kenton
The house set to swing
I lay in my bed
And listen to everything
Cause Leo's in rare form tonight
His trombone sings so sweet
This is the room
Where they all come to meet

He said
I do what I can
I live for the moment
And that's who I am
Yeah that's who I am

And isn't it good
If we could freeze moments in time
We all would
But I do what I can
I do what I can

Downstairs he's playing Kenton
The Magnavox sighs
But oh how the music has changed
In all of our lives
He says "nobody listens
To modern jazz"
And I'll never have what those guys have

He says
I do what I can
I work for a living
And that's who I am
Yeah that's who I am

And it's good to be alive
But everything's different since Leo died
I do what I can

Is this the end of the modern world
What could it mean for a young girl
Who sees the pain on his face
He does what he can

The procession on the TV screen
What could it possibly mean for a man
Who's come this far just to turn around
Could there still be life in Kenton's swing
With the Kennedys gone and everything
Those sad rows of houses with their optimistic colors
Democrat grandparents and draft-dodging brothers
Riots down the street and discontented mothers
We do what we can

Downstairs it's quiet
Less alive somehow
Somehow he was everything that I am now

And he says
I do what I can
I work for a living
And that's who I am
And that's who I am

But it's good to be alive
And these are the choices
We make to survive
You do what you can

Why I Love Music

Music is what makes you groove
It is what makes you move

Music can be good or bad
Depending on how you use it

Music can make you wanna fight
But it can also make you alright

Music is what keeps me going
It keeps flowing through me all the time

It keeps me alive on those few days where I feel I can no longer survive

Time Will Tell

Time will tell if I will live eternally,
Through life instead of being someone.
All of my life, you are the one, youre on my mind.
Have a good time, do what you want, but you will find,
Time will tell if Ill survive.
Id rather be dead than just pretend Im alive.
Time will tell, its just a matter of time.
Its just a matter of time.
Time will tell if we will be the same as now,
Or not, if not, then never mind.
All of my life, you are the one, youre on my mind.
Have a good time, do what you want, but you will find,
Time will tell if Ill survive.
Id rather be dead than just pretend Im alive.
Time will tell, its just a matter of time.
Its just a matter of time.
Time will tell if dreams become reality,
For you got me, as long as you want.
All of my life, you are the one, youre on my mind.
Have a good time, do what you want, but you will find,
Time will tell if Ill survive.
Id rather be dead than just pretend Im alive.
Time will tell, its just a matter of time.
Its just a matter of time.
Its just a matter of time.

Waiting For A Girl Like You

So long
Ive been looking too hard, Ive waiting too long
Sometimes I dont know what I will find
I only know its a matter of time
When you love someone
When you love someone
It feels so right, so warm and true
I need to know if you feel it too
Maybe Im wrong
Wont you tell me if Im coming on too strong?
This heart of mine has been hurt before
This time I wanna be sure
Ive been waiting for a girl like you
To come into my life
Ive been waiting for a girl like you
A love that will survive
Ive been waiting for someone new
To make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you
To come into my life
Youre so good
When we make love its understood
Its more than a touch or a word we say
Only in dreams could it be this way
When you love someone
Yeah, really love someone
Now, I know its right
From the moment I wake up till deep in the night
Theres no where on earth that Id rather be
Than holding you, tenderly
Ive been waiting for a girl like you
To come into my life
Ive been waiting for a girl like you
And a love that will survive
Ive been waiting for someone new
To make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you
To come into my life
Ive been waiting, waiting for you, ooh
Ooh, Ive been waiting
Ive been waiting, yeah
Ive been waiting for a girl like you
Ive been waiting
Wont you come into my life?

Upper Me

The ego and the id
Lead vocal: eric stewart
The time has come the wild one said
When we must all decide
We cannot carry on this way
And so we must divide
The road before us runs both ways
So which one do you choose
But all will not go well if you refuse
What becomes of the upper me when the fire burns in my mind
How can I leave my ego behind
I return to another me or I lose the will to survive
How can I keep my hero alive
It seems to me the wise one said
That mountains are so high
The river is too deep to cross
And none of us can fly
But I believe that compromise
Is what is needed here
Or surely we become the things we fear
But the good in me dont wanna believe
That the evil me is so
And a voice somewhere said do as you please
But the upper me said no, no, no, no, no, no
What becomes of the upper me when the fire burns in my mind
How can I leave my ego behind
I return to another me or I lose the will to survive
How can I keep my hero alive
To survive
How can I keep my hero alive

Where Is My Angel?

The angel has spoke to me again
She’s always here
Even when she’s not
The love is still never forgotten
Swimming though time
Never totally out of my mind
Someday we will be together again
Lost so deep with memories meant to keep
The angels has spoke me again
Whispers in the night
Such a delight is the pain I feel in my heart
It lets me know I’m still alive
It gives me a reason to survive
No matter how much my life is torn apart
I’m still standing
I’m still moving
She is my strength
The angel has spoke to me again
She has the voice of the wind
Swaying in an out
But never gone for too long
I think she misses the life we once had
We gave it our all but as children
Our kingdom had to fall
Rules of society made it
To where it was never meant to be
Lies in all our hearts
She keeps whispering
Calling for the forgotten world
To collide
Swallow the pride
Pray for no more suicides
A chance for the dance we never had
All washes away like
Picture on a postcard
The angel has spoke to me again
She’s always here
Even when she’s not
The love is still never forgotten
Swimming though time
Never totally out of my mined
Someday we will be together again
Lost so deep with memories meant to keep
The angels has spoke me again
Whispers in the night
Such a delight is the pain I feel in my heart
It lets me know I’m still alive
It gives me a reason to survive
No matter how much my life is torn apart
I’m still standing
I’m still moving
She is my strength
Where’s my angel now
Where’s my angel now
Where is she please come back?
Your life so short
Your life already gone
The angel has spoke to me again
She’s always here
Even when she’s not
The love is still never forgotten
Swimming though time
Never totally out of my mined
Someday we will be together again
Lost so deep with memories meant to keep
The angels has spoke me again
Whispers in the night
Such a delight is the pain I feel in my heart
It lets me know I’m still alive
It gives me a reason to survive
No matter how much my life is torn apart
I’m still standing
I’m still moving
She is my strength
Where’s my angel now
Where’s my angel now
Where is she please come back?
Your life so short
Your life already gone
Oh where’s my angel now

Sail Into Tomorrow

(john farrar)
If a ship of dreams bid me come, would I board it?
If I had their gold in my hands, would I hoard it?
If I knew the trials I must face, would I carry on at all?
Sail into tomorrow, living day to day
Thats all I can afford to do and all Ill ever pay
Is a song to sing to thank you for making me alive
And a prayer to bring me comfort--lord help us to survive
If his pretty eyes shone my way, would I leave you?
If I wasnt sure he would stay, would I deceive you?
If I had to melt you with promises, would they stand or fall?
Sail into tomorrow, living day to day
Thats all I can afford to do and all Ill ever pay
Is a song to sing to thank you for making me alive
And a prayer to bring you comfort--lord help us to survive
If time should call me a fool, would I laugh or would I care?
Sail into tomorrow, living day to day
Thats all I can afford to do and all Ill ever pay
Is a song to sing to thank you for making me alive
And a prayer to bring you comfort--lord help us to survive

Im Alive

Its been a long time since I watched these lights alone
I look around my life tonight and you are gone
I might have done something to keep you if Id known
How unhappy you had become
While I was dreaming of you
With my heart in your hands
And I was following though
With my beautiful plans
Yeah now Im rolling down this canyon drive
With your laughter in my head
Im gonna have to block it out somehow to survive
cause those dreams are dead
And Im alive
I want to go where I will never hear your name
I want to lose my sorrow and be free again
And I know Ive been insane
When I think of places I could have been
But I was dreaming of you
With my heart in your hands
And I was following through
With my beautiful plans
Standing here by the highway side
Watching these trucks blow by
Inches from my face
Yeah thinking bout the time Ive wasted
And the pleasure we once tasted
Looking up and down this road
Ive been here before
Cant be here no more
Yeah now Im rolling down california five
With your laughter in my head
Im gonna have to block it out somehow to survive
cause those dreams are dead
And Im alive
Hey look at the way I believed in you
And loved you all these years
Now you can fill a swimming pool with all my salty tears
If youd have told me what was in your heart
Instead of all your lies
I thought that it would kill me
But Im alive
Yeah, Im alive

So Long Suicide

Now goodbye baby its time to break
Habits that youve faced
Sweet sorrow while the cherished dead
Oh in my mouth, every breath I take
Although I need you I dont want to bleed for you
So long suicide
Gone right outta sight outta mind
Leave me alone and abandoned
Hello, Im alive
Im lone and alive and I know
In my bones I know what Im good for
Hello Im alive
Im lone and alive
Yes I know, in my bones
I know what Im doing
I stole the beauty and taste the hurt
Theres always time for pretty flowers
Growing in the dirt
But time is your needle into my heart
And I must be hollow
Cause I cant follow there
(chorus)
Hello, Im alive
Im lone and alive and alone
In my bones I know what Im good for
Hello Im alive
Im lone and alive
Yes I know, in my bones
I know what Im doing
Im scared of being all unknowing
But I swear to live like anyone
And you know its hard to make it
But a light goes on.
And after all the crash and swell
We are just human
And after all is said and done
Were only human
Youre out of sight and out of mind
Im saying so long suicide
The half dream shape of yesterday
In bloom tomorrow

Our Time Is Coming

(kix brooks/ronnie dunn)
Times are hard and the moneys tight
Day to day we fight the fight
Nothing new, the same old grind
Uphill all the way
Boss man says forget the raise
Preacher says to keep the faith
Good things come to those who wait
Tomorrows another day
Our time is coming
Where or when the good lord only knows
Our time is coming
When this road were on will turn to the street of gold
As long as we keep love alive
Something tells me well survive
Its the little things thatll get us by
And hold us together
I feel it when you hold me close
Baby we got more than most
Steady through the highs and lows
Well go on forever
Our time is coming
Where or when the good lord only knows
Our time is coming
When this road were on will turn to the street of gold
Our time is coming
Where or when the good lord only knows
Our time is coming
When this road were on will turn to the street of gold
When this road were on will turn to the street of gold
