Lost Opportunity
Words and music by queen
With the morning I face the sun
I lift my head and smile for everyone
Every afternoon youll find me working on
I got my new shoes on
Got to be moving on
Thats what they say
Every night Im tossed
And I shake my fevered brow
Thinking of my lost opportunity
Yes every morning I face the sun
I get so positive with everyone
Every afternoon youll find the cracks showing through
They know what Im going through
Oh yes they do
Every evening finds me
The optimist behind me
On with my lost opportunity

Morning Light
Once upon a time I was a young man
Always knew what I wanted to do
These times were still the best as I remember
Cause nothing was impossible to me
Then one day I met you and I still wonder
How you could make my dreams come through so fast
I doubted that such a miracle would happen
But you saw something deep inside of me
I believe in the morning light
When I know youll be calling
I believe in the morning light
When I know youll be there
I believe in the morning light
Where I know I will see your face again
You will be free, youll be there
I cant accept the fact that you are gone now
Somehow there is a way just tell me how
Ill stay around as long as it may take you
To turn around and see that Im still here
I believe in the morning light
When I know youll be calling
I believe in the morning light
When I know youll be there
I believe in the morning light
Where I know I will see your face again
You will be free, youll be there

Busy Doin Nothin
I had to fix a lot of things this morning
cause they were so scrambled
But now its okay
I tell you Ive got enough to do
The afternoon was filled up with phone calls
What a hot sticky day, yeah yeah yeah
The air is cooling down
Take all the time you need
Its a lovely night
If you decide to come
Youre gonna do it right
Drive for a couple miles
Youll see a sign and turn left
For a couple blocks
Next is mine, youll turn left on a little road
Its a bumpy one
Youll see a white fence
Move the gate and drive through on the left side
Come right in
And youll find me in my house somewhere
Keeping busy while I wait
I get a lot of thoughts in the morning
I write em all down
If it wasnt for that
Id forget em in a while
And lately Ive been thinking ôbout a good friend
Id like to see more of, yeah yeah yeah
I think Ill make a call
I wrote a number down
But I lost it
So I searched through my pocket book
I couldnt find it
So I sat and concentrated on the number
And slowly it came to me
So I dialed it
And I let it ring a few times
There was no answer
So I let it ring a little more
Still no answer
So I hung up the telephone
Got some paper and sharpened up a pencil
And wrote a letter to my friend

An Afternoon Poem Is Rare
AN AFTERNOON POEM IS RARE
An Afternoon Poem is rare-
Afternoon is long after the first light-
Afternoon is a time of heaviness and quiet
A time of rest-
Afternoon is after the morning work has been done-
Afternoon is the weight of the day-
Afternoon is the time after the day has lost its freshness-
Still there must be afternoon poems-
There must be a beauty that emerges
In its own way,
Perhaps from where lovers meet
Perhaps from ‘ripeness is all’
Perhaps from the anticipation of evening
Perhaps from winter where it is the warmest time of day.
There must be afternoon poems-
Poems that celebrate all that warmth can bring-
Poems of rest poems of sleep-
Poems of waiting to believe
That in the evening
A new day and a new world
Will make life easier again.

Disco
every night is disco night
with you im living every moment for you
seeing things in a different way
of my god im thankful that youre leaving
is there something we can do, this afternoon
is there nothing left to say
oh your love, cautions you
you are something new
afternoon
ill make it up to somehow
im laughing and youre dancing like my mother
ill teach you to go off on me
shake, shake from the horror
mirror naked feeling hot
your radio is not store bought but stolen
another night is going out
its saturday and now youve got the fever
is there something we can do, this afternoon
is there nothing left to say
oh your love, cautions you
you are something new
afternoon
is there something we can do, this afternoon
is there nothing left to say
oh your love, warning you
and you are so beautiful
youll just have to do
is there nothing left to say

Smile
By chaplin, parsons and phillips
Smile, though your heart is aching.
Smile, even though its breaking.
Though there are clouds in the sky,
Youll get by...
If you smile through your fears and sorrows.
Smile and maybe tomorrow.
Youll see the sun come shining through.
If you just light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness.
Although a tear may be ever, ever so near.
Thats the time you must keep on trying.
Smile, whats the use of crying?
Youll find life is still worthwhile
If youll just smile, come on and smile.
If you just smile.

Sunrise
You take away the breath I was keeping for sunrise
You take away the breath I was keeping for sunrise
You appear and the morning looks drab in my eyes
You appear and the morning looks drab in my eyes
And then again Ill turn down love
And then again Ill turn down love
Having seen you again
Having seen you again
Once more youll disappear
Once more youll disappear
My morning put to shame
My morning put to shame
You take away the breath I was keeping for sunrise
You take away the breath I was keeping for sunrise
You appear and the morning looks drab in my eyes
You appear and the morning looks drab in my eyes
And then again Ill turn down love
And then again Ill turn down love
Having seen you again
Having seen you again
Once more youll disappear
Once more youll disappear
My morning put to shame
My morning put to shame
Sometimes I fear that this will go on my life through
Sometimes I fear that this will go on my life through
Each day I spend in an echoed vision of you
Each day I spend in an echoed vision of you
And then again Ill turn down love
And then again Ill turn down love
Remembering your smile
Remembering your smile
My every day is spent
My every day is spent
Thinking of you all the while
Thinking of you all the while
The times Ive let myself down
The times Ive let myself down
My heads spinning round
My heads spinning round
My eyes see only you
My eyes see only you
The chances Ive lost
The chances Ive lost
Opportunities tossed
Opportunities tossed
Away and into the blue
Away and into the blue
You take away the breath I was keeping for sunrise
You take away the breath I was keeping for sunrise
You appear and the morning looks drab in my eyes
You appear and the morning looks drab in my eyes
And then again Ill turn down love
And then again Ill turn down love
Having seen you again
Having seen you again
Then again youll disappear
Then again youll disappear
My morning put to shame
My morning put to shame

The Morning Poem Did Not Come
THE MORNING POEM DID NOT COME
The morning poem did not come-
So this is the effort of an afternoon poem,
Warm and sun- filled and relaxing and deep and waiting.
This is a poem between times more interesting than itself.
The light is so great now.
But this too is a poem of little or nothing to say
Of afternoon emptiness after morning emptiness
On a tired tired day.
Once I thought I would write poems which would make immortal
Those I love.
Now I write poems to keep myself going.
This afternoon I am extremely tired
But if this is poem
Or even if I only think it is
I can have a rest
Before I face the evening.

Smile,
Though your heart is aching
Smile,
Even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky youll get by
If you smile,
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile,
And maybe tomorrow
Youll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear maybe ever so near
Thats the time
You must keep on trying
Smile,
Whats the use of crying
Youll find that life is still worth while
If you,
Just smile
Thats the time
You must keep on trying

Whats the use of crying
Youll find that life
Life is still worth while

Do The Vega
(words & music by giant - baum - kaye)
Do the vega take a chance and do the vega
If you dance it youll have fun
The fever gets ya and then Ill bet ya
Youll shake like the sun of a gun
First you make the right connection
Choose the one whose your selection
Though you risk your reputation
Youll increase youre circulation
Do the vega take a chance and do the vega
If you dance it youll have fun
The fever gets ya and then Ill bet ya
Youll shake like the sun of a gun
Roll and keep youre shoulders busy
Like a wheel spin till youre dizzy
Kick your heels when youve a notion
Shake and shimmy thats the motion
Do the vega take a chance and do the vega
If you dance it youll have fun
The fever gets ya and then Ill bet ya
Youll shake like the sun of a gun
Do the vega take a chance and do the vega
If you dance it youll have fun
The fever gets ya and then Ill bet ya
Youll shake like the sun of a gun
Shake like the sun of a gun
Shake like the sun of a gun
Shake like the sun of a gun

Face To Face
(b. gibb/m. gibb/g. bitzer)
Love cant be love
If its just for the moment
Only to pass the night away
As we both get nearer
Deeper love is so much clearer
Long as we do it face to face
And I have known
All the lost lonely people
My world has found a place in your smile
If youre searching
For a different love than mine
Youll never stop me loving you
More of your love
More of the warmer ride
May love for everyone be as true
No letting go, but let each other know
If we never try
Then we never lie face to face
You make a man
Like a child with your power
Help me to find my way inside
Let me drink your potion
Let me drown in your emotion
Lover to lover, face to face
In time we learn
From the lost lonely people
That love can last as long as time
There was never born another one for me
And youll never stop me loving you
More of your love
More of the warmer ride
May love for everyone be as true
No letting go, but let each other know
If we never try
Then we never lie face to face
Ill be with you when the world is lies
And the music dies
Just as long as I know there will be
More of your love
More of the warmer ride
May love for everyone be as true
No letting go, but let each other know
If we never try
Then we never lie face to face
Ill be with you when the world is lies
And the music dies
Just as long as I know there will be
More of your love
More of the warmer ride...

Set Me Free
Wake up
See the morning light
This is you
This is today
You try so hard to get it right
Cant help thinking somewhere youve lost your way
When was the last time
You saw a smile?
Theres a scream on every silent face you see
Theyre singing set me free
I got a friend who burns like a fire
Says theres only thing youll ever know
Its out there somewhere
Way past the sunset line
Way out on the open road
And me Im always looking down
Down that road out of town
Each morning and night you can see me
Im singing set me free
Set me free
Goodnight auberge
I leave you now
You must sleep while I work the day
Till I return
To dream of you
Through the night
And that free, freeway

Black Night
Words and music by bob seger
Hell seem to come on with a vengance,
Youll think that youve been wasting time.
Youll think that youve been discussing history
And hell have left you far behind.
Ah, but you must realize he needs you
To keep himself from going blind,
And when the black night falls upon you,
Youll find it easy to be kind... kind.
The stars may shimmer in the black sky,
The wind may rustle in the trees.
You may be worried he may psych you,
You might be praying on your knees.
Ah, but when you realize he needs you
And when you finally take some time,
The cool black night will fall upon you,
Youll find it easy to unwind.
Hey, the moon may rise on the misty mountain,
Youll wish you never made the climb.
But when the black nights finally with you,
Youll find it easy to be kind,
Youll find it easy to unwind,
Youll find it easy to be blind.

One Face
One face in a crowd is hard to find.
One face in that crowd is on my mind.
How can I find the face of one,
The face that to me is like the sun?
Shiny and bright with a radiant glow,
The face that picks me up when I'm low,
Eyes that light up wherever they are
Just like the splendor of an evening star,
Lips that break into the sweetest smile
That lingers for me for the longest while,
Hair that surrounds that face like a frame
That always sets my heart aflame.
I search all the faces but cannot see
The one that means the world to me.
I'm lost. I'm wretched. This should not be.
There are too many faces. I'm lost at sea.
One last glance and to my surprise
There's your face, your smile, your eyes.
The crowd's still there but not for me.
For the face I love is all I see.

Twistin The Night Away
(sam cooke)
Let me tell you about a place, somewhere up in new york way
Where the people are so gay, twistin the night away
Here they have a lot of fun, puttin trouble on the run
Oh man youll find the old and young twistin the night away
Heres a man in evening clothes, how he got here I dont know
But oh man, you ought to see him go, twistin the night away
Hes dancing with a chick in slacks, shes moving up and back
Oh man, there aint nothing like twistin the night away
Feel much better
Heres a fellow in blue jeans, whos dancing with an older queen
Dolled up in her diamond rings, twistin the night away
Man you ought to see her go, twistin to the rock and roll
Here youll find the young and the old twistin the night away
Theyre twistin, twistin, everybodys doing great
Theyre twistin man, twistin, theyre twistin the night away
Twistin, you know theyre twistin, twistin the night away
Theyre twistin, twistin, man twistin the night away
Here they have a lot of fun, puttin trouble on the run
Oh man youll find young and the old twistin the night away
Heres a man in evening clothes, how he got here I dont know
I dont know but man you ought to see him go
Twistin the night away

A Smile
A smile brightens a darkened room.
A smile converts an air of gloom.
A smile is the gate to a happy mind.
A smile is a treasure all must find.
A smile is so needed at this time of strife.
A smile means we’re in charge of life.
A smile lost is an opportunity missed.
A smile is an opportunity to never resist.
A smile spreads its rays like sun above.
A smile sends joy and engenders love.
A smile costs nothing but has limitless worth.
A smile is as valuable as anything on earth.

Man With A Horn
Eddie delange, jenney, lake
Youll always find me near the man with the horn
Find me there from dark until dawn
Cos thats a place where music is born
So fine so sweetly he plays and says it so well
Come lately
Youll find that youre under his spell
So if youre in the mood for music and love
Just forget the stars up above
For my friends youll find
Youll be drawn to the man with the horn

Until Your Momas Gone
Its hard to get up in the morning
No matter who youre working for
But youll find a way when the landlords knocking on your door
But you wont be down until your momas gone
So your morale is a let down
Dont put the blame upon yourself
You still hurry home til you know shes found nobody else
So you wont be down until your momas gone
Allow me to show you the warning
I dont wanna see you lose
Dont carry on til the wild grass is growing round your shoes
For it wont be long until your momas gone
Until your momas gone
Its hard to get up in the morning
No matter who youre working for
But youll find a way when the landlords knocking on your door
Oh you wont be down until your momas gone

Youll Find Out
(lyrics: thomas flowers)
Even if you turn away
Sweep it all aside
Under the rug
Nothing ventured nothing gained
But your problems still remain
If youre living in denial
Afraid to face yourself
Wasted all the time
When I look into your eyes
I see something inside of you that was once inside of me
And Ive been there before
I nearly lost my wife my friends and more
Youll find out sooner or later
You find out sooner or later
You find out sooner or later
You find out sooner or later
If your lifes become a mess
And put you to the test
Just like all the rest
When I look into your eyes
I see something inside of you
Youll find out sooner or later
You find out sooner or later
You find out sooner or later
You find out sooner or later

Little Roland Lost
Im lost, Im lost, find me
Im lost, Im lost, find me
He wondered too far now
He is lost and lonely
Little roland all alone
Cause he cant find his way
Wish I was home in the arms of my mom
Shes the one to protect me
But here I am in the woods by myself
Wont somebody find me
Im lost, Im lost, find me
Im lost, Im lost, find me
I see a path maybe this is the way
That leads to safety
No just a dead end leading to nowhere
Wont somebody find me
Im lost, Im lost, find me
Im lost, Im lost, find me
Little roland see your field eyes
Little legs running wildly
Comes the night, strange noises
Guess hes lost forever
Im lost, Im lost, find me
Im lost, Im lost, find me
