Here To Eternity
(r. stewart, k. savigar)
On a hot summers night
In the year of 75
Jimmy doyle took his child bride
Amanda, for a drive
She was only seventeen
He just lived to see her smile
Their commitment to each other
Burned like a forest fire
Otis on the radio singing stand by me
As a trooper pulled them over
And said jimmy where you been
Someone matching your description
Has just robbed the liquor store
Amanda said hes been with me
But they werent listening anymore
Down at precinct number five
They questioned jimmy through the night
The sheriff said hes gotta stand trial
Armed robbery is the charge
Amanda said this cannot be
Gonna stay right here until you set him free
And I love him
Here to eternity
Forever
Unto eternity
Oh God gave me something
I must hold on to
Gonna hold on him
No matter what you do
The old courthouse was crowded
As the judge reviewed the case
In a year of re-election
He was desperate to impress
Innocent or guilty
He saw an opportunity
To send jimmy down for life
To the penitentiary
Disbelief and anger
As they dragged him away
In a cell below the courthouse
They beat him like a slave
But his use of martial arts
Struck a blow for liberty
Felled a guard with a fist of iron
And killed him instantly
All the press surrounded amanda
Coming down the courthouse steps
Pleading for her young mans life
And in a moment seen by millions
She bowed her head and cried
Show my man some mercy
Hes the father of my child
I love him
Here to eternity
Forever
Unto eternity
Oh God gave me something
I must hold on to
Gonna hold on him
No matter what you do
I love him
Here to eternity
Jimmy doyle appeared again
In a second public trail
For the murder of a prison guard
They sentenced him to die
But amanda with her long red hair
Made one last plea
As the court fell into silence
She cried out desperately
This man of mine is innocent
As one day I shall prove
Its an open case of self defense
All this circumstantial evidence
You place before your court
Has robbed me of my husband
Forget I will not
I love him
Here to eternity
Forever
Unto eternity
Oh goodbye my jimmy
til we meet again
In a better world than this
I swear Ill clear your name
cos I love you
Here to eternity

This Day
I feel foolish,
like those silly robins jumping on the ditch boughs
when I run by them.
Those robins do not have the grand style of the red tailed hawk,
no design, no dream, just robins acting stupid.
They've never smoked cigarettes, drank whiskey, consumed drugs
as I have.
In their mindless
fluttering about
filled with nonsense,
they tell me how they
love the Great Spirit,
scold me not to be self-pitying,
to open my life
and make this day a bough on a tree
leaning over infinity, where eternity flows forward
and with day the river runs
carrying all that falls in it.
Be happy Jimmy, they chirp,
Jimmy, be silly, make this day a tree
leaning over the river eternity
and fuss about in its branches.

Edge Of Eternity
Wolf tickets are all you say Im selling
Well that goes to show what you need to know
Cause I aint yackin nothin I aint packin
My love can get with your love toe to toe
So when youre ready
Really, truly ready
Holding strong and steady
Ill be good to go
Cause if you start it
I am gonna finish it
I am gonna knock it
Like it aint been knocked before
Getting with this
Know youre gonna be
Stepping off the edge of eternity
Just one kiss
Know its you and me
Stepping off to the edge of eternity
Dead air time is all you say youre hearing
Well that shows how much you dont comprehend
Cause its not in the loud but in the quiet
Where lies the thing that will make your head spin
So when youre willin
Really, truly willin
Not just simply illin
You just let me know
Cause when you get it
I aint gonna quit it
Girl, Im gonna hit it
Like it aint been hit before
Gettin with this
Know youre gonna be
Stepping off to the edge of eternity
Just one kiss
Know its you and me
Stepping off to the edge of eternity
Pie in the sky is all you say I can deliver
Well wait til you feel what Ive got in store
One hundred and eighty pounds of good and plenty
And when youve got the need Ive got some more
So when you mean it
Really, truly mean it
Not just scheming to get to it
We can get it on
Cause if you woo it
Im going to get to it
Girl, were gonna do it
Until every ounce is gone
Gettin with this
Know youre gonna be
Stepping off to the edge of eternity
Just one kiss
Know its you and me
Stepping off to the edge of eternity
Are you ready to step off the edge into eternity
Really, really ready to step off the edge into eternity
Cause if youre ready to step off the edge into eternity
We can step right off the edge into eternity

Top Jimmy
Some friends of mine, just the other night,
Went to hear this cool cat blow.
The say he sang so good that the roof fell in,
And they didnt even stop the show.
They dont remember the place, but they remember the face,
And now everybody wanna go.
Chorus:
Top jimmy cooks, top jimmy swings.
Hes got the look. top jimmy, hes the king.
Jimmy on the television, famous people laughing with him,
Jimmy on the news at five.
Jimmy on the radio and even on the video,
That baddest cat alive.
Driving all the women crazy, only want jimmy-baby,
Love it when he rolls his eyes.
Chorus
(guitar solo)
Juke-joint jimmy is the latest thing,
Hes got the sound that everybody digs.
And the joint been jumpin when the band been pumpin
And you know theyre playing crazy gigs.
Well you aint been living till youve seen the living thing,
Top jimmy and his rhythm pigs

Forbidden Jimmy
Forbidden jimmy
Has got a mighty sore tooth
From biting too many dimes
In a telephone booth
Hes got half of his bootlace
Tied to the dial
Thank you operator
For getting jimmy to smile
Call out the coast guard
Screamed the police
Forbidden jimmy
Hes got three water skis
He put two on his wavelength
And gave one to his girl
Shes a mighty fine person
Its a mighty fine world
Chorus:
Im gonna make all your sorrows bright
Set your soul free
Ill see you tomorrow night
If I can still see
Ginger caputo
And dorian gray
Oughtta stay out of pictures
If they got nothin to say
Stack em back on the rack jack
Ya know, youre hurting my eye
Forbidden jimmy
Hes getting ready to fly
Repeat chorus
I got caught cooking popcorn
And calling it hail
They wanna stick my head
Inside a water pail
Ya know, theyre gonna be sorry
Theyre gonna pay for it too
Forbidden jimmy
Hes coming straight at you

And You Dont Remember
- m. carey - w. afanasieff -
Mah baby
Hey
Hm
Shattered dreams
Cut through my mind
Tragically our love has died
Memories confine my head
Bitterly I face the end
Trustingly
I gave myself to you
I let you inside
Believing your lies
And you dont remember
Every time you told me
You were mine for ever
For eternity
Uhhuh
And you dont remember
How you used to hold me
How wed melt together
How you needed me
How we used to be
In love
Stranded here
In notingness
With only tears
And lonliness
Foolishly
I gave my soul to you
I let you inside
Believing your lies
And you dont remember
Every time you told me
You were mine for ever
For eternity
Uhhuh
And you dont remember
How you used to hold me
How wed melt together
How you needed me
How we used to be
In love
Helplessly
I fell so deep
I was so naive
To let you in
Why did I let you in
To my heart
(and you dont remember)
No
(anything you told me)
Anything that you told me
(you were mine forever)
You were mine forever
For eternity
Yes you will
And you dont remember
(and you dont remember)
How you used to hold me
How wed melt together
Together
How you needed me
How we used to be
In love

Middle Of The Night
Middle of the night, hold on until forever
To burn with desire, Resembling a candle lit fire
For eternity shall we be together
Lost in time with such powerful emotion taking me higher
With your arms around my waiste, I than stare at the moonlight
And think about a night full of romance which just feels right
The best moment of my life I cherish
As the silence fills the room, And the romance blossomed
I found happiness there in your arms
For the first time I felt the need to love another
Sweet dreams are made of this
Left the world for that moment and found bliss
Your touch brought me to life
As If I'd falling and awakened from a deep sleep
I become smittened with you further
Your charms than sparked a flame
Soon after I'd become head over hills and in love withyou
In the middle of the night hold on until forever
And for eternity we shall be together

Free Through Eternity
Soft in the morning
Love without warning
Peace cause theres no disguising it
When its love you cant hide from it
Now I dont want to be the shadow
When you find your new life
I only want to hold you in the dead of night
You dont have to search for me
You dont have to set yourself free
You are free through eternity
Now I have learned to sing with a steady mind
Fill the void and pass the time
And face this ground and erase the blue
When I leave the scene it all comes down to you
You dont have to search for me
And you dont have to set yourself free
You are free through eternity
Now I know its gotta be hard to find
That blessed balance - that fine line
But turn around and bless me
Or let me go in peace
I can meet you halfway
And give you all you need
But you dont have to search for me
And you dont ever have to set yourself free
You are free
Through eternity
Eternity
Eternally
You are free eternally
You are free

Love Is Colder Than Death
Love is colder than death, they say
To warm your heart to the bone
Hold me closer, don't dare to speak
For soon my love, I'll be gone
Cherish the moment with me
Love for all
Love for all
All eternity
Go and dance with the moon tonight
The starlight to serenade you
Venus, the goddess of love
Loved for all
Loved for all
All eternity
Loved for all

I Oh I
Even if I have to sweep the streets...
I wanna be the one,
To do that for you.
Even if I don't appear that neat...
I wanna be the one,
You rush to speak to.
I oh I...
Gotta be the one you need.
And I oh I...
Gotta be the one you see,
Could share with you eternity!
Even if I can not sleep a wink...
I wanna be the one,
You wake from sleep to.
Even if that leaves me feeling weak...
I'd rather stay that way,
To show my heart is true.
I oh I...
Gotta be the one you need.
And I oh I...
Gotta be the one you see,
Could share with you eternity!
Oh I,
Know why...
Only you do this to me.
And I oh I...
Wanna share with you my destiny,
Forever eternally.
Oh I oh I...
Gotta be the one you need.
And I oh I...
Gotta be the one you see,
Could share with you eternity!
No 'maybe' it's gonna be!
Even if I have to sweep the streets...
I wanna be the one,
To do that for you.
Even if I don't appear that neat...
I wanna be the one,
You rush to speak to.
Oh I oh I...
Gotta be the one you need.
And I oh I...
Gotta be the one you see,
Could share with you eternity!
Forever just you and me!
In a world we make,
For us complete.
Even If I have to stay...
Awake!
Each day.
Whatever it takes I'm willing to go,
That way.

Jimmy
Jimmy
It started out with a few misfortunes
His daddy ran off with some broad from the motown
When momma said we're leavin tomorrow
Jimmy already had his things together
So many days of thinking of the past
The girl he left behind and hangin out in the
free streets
Somehow Jimmy had survived his reflections
The broken glass in his hands, a noose before him
Said he did it before
He's gonna do it again
Give him a fix and a bottle and he won't complain
Until he's blue in the face
Jimmy's the leader of a losin' race
Hey Jimmy did you learn your lesson
You always know what you were missin'
Hey Jimmy did you solve the problem
Just a kid with no direction
Some people say it was fright that drove him
But Jimmy knows who's really scared of difference
The whipping boy won't take his beating
It only left them alone to their thinking
Of how he knew what they could never know
And he would live and learn to be himself
through his mistakes
Watch and laugh, pretend they were okay
Waiting for things to change is just another day
Said he did it before
He's gonna do it again
Give him a fix or a bottle and he won't complain
Until he's blue in the face
Jimmy's the leader of a losing race
Hey Jimmy did you learn your lesson
You always knew what you were missin'
Hey Jimmy did you solve the problem
Just a kid with no direction
Hey Jimmy don't you walk away
We'll look at life according to me
You're my life support auto biography
Hey Jimmy take a look inside
Let's take a chance, enjoy the ride
Impressions don't die
No one knew your story
Hey Jimmy did you learn you lesson
You always knew what you were missin' (Jimmy)
Hey Jimmy did you solve the problem
Just a kid with no direction (Jimmy)
Hey Jimmy did you learn your lesson
You always knew what you were missin' (Jimmy)
Hey Jimmy did you solve the problem
Just a kid with no direction (Jimmy)
Hey Jimmy now your free

From here to the stars,
With my candy bars,
Rides a kid
With a knack
For inventions.
A super-powered mind,
A mechanical canine,
He rescues the day
From sure destruction.
He's gotta save the world
And get to school on time,
So many things to do
And not much time
So off the ground,
Up in the air,
Out into the atmoshpere,
Who can we count on?
Jimmy Neutron!
Who can we count on?

Who can we count on?

No matter where you are,
You know he can't be far,
Watching the world
Through x-ray vision
And whenever he's around,
Where adventure can be found,
You know that Jimmy Neutron's
On a mission
He's gotta save the world
And get to school on time,
So many things to do
And not much time
So off the ground,
Up in the air,
Out into the atmoshpere,
Who can we count on?
Jimmy Neutron!
Who can we count on?

Eternity Ring
Poetic Style - Acrostic:
Eagerly he rushes down to the town
The jewellery store is where he is bound
Eternity's a word, very deep in his mind...
Rapturous delight of the lasting kind.
Never before had he felt quite like this.
Immediate action brought thoughts of bliss.
To place an eternity ring on her finger
Young love and true love ever would linger.
Resting on the laurel 'love lasts forever,
In sickness or health, love is a treasure'
Now was the time for angels to sing
Gentle love songs to an Eternity Ring.

Poem on a loves ending
Poem on a loves ending
~
Tonight I shall love you
As I could love no more
In the morning I shall say goodbye
And be filled with such sorrow
You hold a place in my heart
And there you will remain
For all the world I love you
Now I must let you go
In the morning I must let you go
If I could hold this night forever
And you in my arms
To look into your eyes
For a moment to be eternity
And save a broken heart
For all my dreams it cannot be
Like the night this love must end
Come the morning, this love must end
should out paths meet again someday
I shall hold my heart from speaking
And remember this night, our night
When I loved as I could never love again
And to save my heart, I said goodbye

Eternity
Together forever,
we shall never be,
eternity as we know,
will come to an end,
in the after life
together as one...
You and I, worlds apart,
attracted by the forces of Love,
'Why? ' - I ask, 'Is it you? '
'And not another? '
'Why me? ',
'And not another? '...
Tis fate you say
Destiny i believe...
But the others...
Tis disastrous they believe
Prepostrous thers...
But you and me

Shadow & Jimmy
Shadow and jimmy were always yesterdays news
Jimmys a bowler, shadow rents out his green bowling shoes
Late friday night when the bars are all shuttered and dark
He shadows back jimmy to the lot in the lost trailer park
For shadow and jimmy all the weekends end up the same
If its saturday night, then it must be the hockey game
After cold beer and barbecued ribs the night is complete
With wrestling stories and elegant bones
That are tired of walking and on their way home
Chorus
And they talk about the women
And they look at the girls
Theyll never know the ways of the world
Theyve got a mouthful of much obliged
And a handful of gimme
And the love for each other
Of shadow and jimmy
For shadow and jimmy now the story is told
Theres nothing to hold on to and no one to hold
Men without women are like fish without
Water to swim in
With their eyes bugging out
They flop on the beach
And look up at the girls
Who are just out of reach

Yours
They told me love don't last forever
Now i understand
To think that only yesterday
You held me in your hands
And i became a woman
And you became the world , to me
I was lost , no dream to high
No star to far apart
Your carpet ride holding me
You led me to believe that i was yours, yours
I swallowed every lie
And you will cry when i'm away ,on your own , like me
When i was yours
(break)
I could live my life without you, that is not enough
I can't lie awake believin' you don't want my love
Alone in my desire
And still the fire burns , my friend
I was there . i loved you well
Though we are far apart , i love you still
I relive the very moment when you called me yours , yours
Don't let me die inside
Save me from the memories, the hours that i cried
Say to me that i am yours, yours , mine eternity
And you will cry when i'm away
On your own , like me ,when i was yours
Yours, yours , don't let me die inside
Save me from the memories, the hours that i cried
Say to me that i am yours , yours for eternity
And you will cry when i'm away
The hours that i cry
Say to me that i am yours, yours
Don't let me die inside (fade out ) ......
