The Prettiest Thing
Prettiest thing I ever did see
Was lightning from the top of a cloud
Moving through the dark a million miles an hour
With somewhere to be
So why does it seem like a picture
Just hangin up on someone elses wall
Lately I just havent been myself at all
Its heavy on my mind
Now Im dreamin again
Like Ive always been
Way down low
I still know that
The prettiest thing I ever did see
Was dusty has the handle on the door
Rusty has a nail stuck in the ol pine floor
Looks like home to me
Now Im dreamin again
Like Ive always been
Way down low thinking of
The prettiest thing

How Do You Speak To An Angel
A son who is cursed with a harridan mother
Or a weak simpering father at best
Is raised to play out the timeless classical motives
Of filial love and incest
How does he speak to a
How does he speak to the prettiest girl
How does he talk to her
What does he say for an opening line
What does he say if hes shy
What do you do with your pragmatic passions
With your classically neurotic style
How do you deal with your vague self-comprehensions
What do you do when you lie
How do you speak to a
How do you speak to the prettiest girl
How do you speak to her
How do you dance on the head of a pin
When youre on the outside looking in
How do you speak to a
How do you speak to the prettiest girl
How do you speak to a
How do you speak to the prettiest girl
How do you speak to a
How do you speak to the prettiest girl
How do you speak to a
How do you speak to the prettiest girl
How do you speak to a
How do you speak to the prettiest girl
How do you speak to a
How do you speak to the prettiest girl
You just say, hello, (hello) baby (hello)
...
Baby, angel, how do you talk to the prettiest girl, you say
Hello baby, hello baby, angel, angel, pretty little girl
Angel, angel ....

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

Ain’t We Baby
Ain’t we got a good thing going, honey
Ain’t we, ain’t we baby
Ain’t we got a fine little pair of young, uns
Ain’t we, ain’t we baby
A cotton top boy and a blue-eyed girl
Prettiest things in this old world
Oh Baby, we got a good thing going
We got us a house out in the country
Got us a yard full of young pine trees
Got an old hound dog that’s full of fleas
And bushels of love and we’re living free
Oh Baby, we got a good thing going
We’re clearing land for a garden spot
Gonna have a bean and tomater crop
Raise a couple of hogs, we’ll have ham to eat
And next winter we won’t buy groceries
Oh Baby, we got a good thing going
Ain’t we got a good thing going, Honey
Ain’t we, Ain’t we Baby
Ain’t we got a fine little pair of young’uns
Ain’t we, Ain’t we Baby
A cotton top boy and a blue-eyed girl
Prettiest things in this old world
Oh Baby, we got a good thing going

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
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

Prettiest Cop On The Block
I'm 6 foot 3 with a fist like a hammer
And I work with the Vice Squad when I can
And when I pull out my badge they forget all my glamor
Little guys all surprised
Take a seat
Peek at me
It's a bust
I'm a man
I'm the prettiest cop on the block I set your souls on fire
Yes, I'm the prettiest cop on the block
I'm cool and I'm so mean
Oh, I'm the prettiest cop on the block
I've handcuffed your desire
I've got a stiff reputation with a stick like a rock
My kids are confused and my wife is in shock
I'm a full blooded man not a weak immitation
I like to flex my arms in the neon lights
I'm a queen on the street and a king at the station
It's a secret of mine, not a sign I'm gonna make that right
Because..
I'm the prettiest cop on the block I set your souls on fire
Yes, I'm the prettiest cop on the block
I'm cool and I'm so mean
Oh, I'm the prettiest cop on the block
I've handcuffed your desire
I've got a stiff reputation with a stick like a rock
My kids are confused and my wife is in shock
I must look pretty shocking
In my bullet proof vest
With my black lace stockings
All this hair on my chest
When the boys see me coming
All the boys start to run
They all got their empty holsters
And I got the only gun
Because..
Because, I'm the prettiest cop on the block
I set your souls on fire
Yes, I'm the prettiest cop on the block
I'm cool and I'm so mean
Yes, I'm the prettiest cop on the block
I handcuff your desires
I got a stiff reputation with a stick like a rock
My kids are confused and my wife is in shock
I'm the prettiest cop on the block
I set your souls on fire
Yes, I'm the prettiest cop on the block
And I'm cool -- so mean
I'm the prettiest cop on the block
I handcuff your desires
I'm so pretty, I'm so pretty, so pretty
Yes I'm gorgeous
I'm really lovely
And I'm so mean, so mean
I'm oooo I'm mean
But I'm pretty
And I'm mean
Sooo Pretty
But I'm mean
And I'm pretty

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
Dreamin.......

The Prettiest Star
Cold fire, youve got everything but cold fire
You will be my rest and peace child
I moved up to take the place, near you
So tired, its the sky that makes you feel tried
Its a trick to make you see wide
It can all but break your heart, in pieces
Staying back in your memory
Are the movies in the past
How you moved is all it takes
To sing a song of when I loved
The prettiest star
One day though it might as well be someday
You and I will rise up all the way
All because of what you are
The prettiest star
Staying back in your memory
Are the movies in the past
How you moved is all it takes
To sing a song of when I loved
Prettiest star
One day though it might as well be someday
You and I will rise up all the way
All because of what you are
The prettiest star

Dreamin - Escape
If I close my eyes I see your face
And Im not without you
If I try hard and concentrate
I can still hear you speak
I picture myself in your room by the chair
Youre smoking a cigarette
If I close my eyes I can see your face
Youre saying, I missed you
Dreamin, Im always dreamin
If I close my eyes I can smell your perfume
You look and say, hi baby
If I close my eyes pictures from china
Still hang from the wall
I hear the dog bark I turn and say
What were you saying?
I picture you in the red chair
Inside the pale room
Dreamin, Im always dreamin
You sat in your chair with a tube in your arm
You were so skinny
You were still making jokes
I dont know what drugs they had you on
You said, I guess this is not the time
For long term investments
You were always laughing
But you never laughing at me
They say in the end the pain was so bad
That you were screaming
Now you were no saint but you deserved
Better than that
From the corner I watched them removing things
From your apartment
But I can picture you red chair and pale room
Inside my head
If I close my eyes I see your face
And Im not without you
If I try hard and concentrate I can hear your voice saying
Who better than you
If I close my eyes I cant believe that
Im here without you
Inside your pale room your empty red chair
And my head
Dreamin, Im always dreamin
Dreamin, Im always dreamin
Dreamin, Im always dreamin

Dreamin' About You
Beyond the words
Of beauty and desire
A memory of you
Sets me on fire
Your voice was magic
Your eye's will paralyze
I fell out of your spell
I was mesmerized
(Chorus)
I wish you would make it real
(Dreamin about you)
If only you knew that I was
(Dreamin about you)
If my wishes could come true
(Dreamin about you)
You've got to got to know that I am
(Dreamin about you)
Even when your heart
I could not find
I keep you locked up
Inside my mind
You dance through my thoughts
All of the time
To want someone this bad
Just must be a crime
(Chorus)
Dreamin about you
Every day and every night
(Guitar Solo)
Oh life's just a battle
I fight it every day
Sometimes I wonder
If it's worth it to stay
But when I'm down
It's you I'm thinking of
Someone special
Somebody I can love
(Chorus)

Toys
First unwrapped, each thinks itself best
prettiest, priciest, diciest,
to dress and undress.
Every year come more and more-
bumped from the shelf, they fall to the floor
and lay still.
Or get dropped
a purple while in the dark box,
musty, dusty, worn-out toys.
Only a few: the favorites,
peer year upon year, from the cabinets
unblinking, smiling.

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
(break)
Ill be dreamin on
Dreamin on for you baby
Dreamin on for you woman-child
Dreamin on for you baby
Ah....
For you baby
Ah...(fade)

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...
California dreamin' on such a winter's...
California dreamin' on such a winter's day...
California dreamin' on such a winter's day...

My Fair Lady
My fair lady
You are of wonder
Why do you think of yourself as of blunder?
One man would be a fool not to enjoy your presence
It is like a second of heaven each moment with you
Which will not be forsaken, my dear it is of pleasance
To see that smile, and your face
It makes me think, 'Please stay a while'
And let me grasp your grace
You claim your not the prettiest girl
Which is a non-factor
Because in my eyes my dear, your the prettiest pearl
Say what you please
Ignore my compliments
But do hear this
Your beautiful in every way imaginable
and seeing you everyday
Is my moment of bliss..

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...

London Homesick Blues
(gary p. nunn)
When youre down on your luck
And you aint got a buck
In london, youre a goner
And london bridge
Has fallen down
And moved to arizona
Now I know why
Well now substantiate the rumor
That the english sense of humor
Is drier than the texas sands.
You can put up your dukes
Go bet your boots
Ill be leavin here as soon as I can.
I wanna go home with the armadillo
Country music from amarillo and abilene
The prettiest women and the friendliest people you ever seen.
Well, I decided that
Id take my cowboy hat
And go down to the marble arch station
cause when a texan fancies
To take his chances
Chances will be taken,
Thats for sure.
And goes blind me eyes
For eying the prize
Some people call manly footwear
cause when your thumb down south
When you open your mouth
You always seem to put your foot there.
I wanna go home with the armadillo
Country music from amarillo and abilene
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you ever seen.
I wanna go home with the armadillo
Country music from the lone star caf and abilene
The prettiest women and the friendliest people Ive ever seen.

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

Thespian
I met her just today
But I've seen her before
Now I sit beside her
She told me her name
I said that's my favorite song
And she said she's never heard it
She Broke my train of thought
When she told me a secret
The one about a friend now
I felt her hand upon my knee
I guess I forgot to breathe
But only for a moment
All the while I'm thinking
That I can't believe she's here with me now
I might be dreamin'
If I am don't tell me I don't want to know
She got up to get a beer
So I moved closer to her chair
And she pretended not to notice
Well I hope she doesn't leave
Cause I'd like to talk some more
Before I have to go, now...
All the while I'm thinking
That I can't believe she's here with me now
I might be dreamin'
If I am don't tell me I don't want to know
I guess my talk was just too small
I'm not getting anywhere
But I've been here before
So I'll just drive home by myself
And drift away to sleep
I guess it's no big deal...(big deal)
They finally closed the doors
So I walked her to her car
And the rain began to pour
And with a smile she said good-bye
And I watched her drive away
Well I guess I lost again, now...
All the while I'm thinking
That I can't believe she's here with me now
I might be dreamin'
If I am don't tell me I don't want to know x2
Don't tell me I dont want to know
All the while I'm thinking
That I can't believe she's here with me now
I might be dreamin'
If I am don't tell me I don't want to know x2

Love Alive
The Sky was dark this morning
When I raised my head
I stood at the window -
Darkness was my bane
Suddenly a sunbeam arch
Thrilled me to my weary heart
It was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen
I knew I had to keep my Love
Keep my Love alive
Keep my Love - Keep my Love live
Baby I want you to roll me
Hold me in your love
No more habits

Then youd know just what Im going through
