Heres Lookin At You Kid
(myles goodwyn)
Published by mfg sing sing music/socan - ascap
The kid in the valleys got an attitude
Lean and mean, with nothin to lose
He aint uptight, he dont care no more
The girls start screamin as he hits the floor
The time is now, while the night is young
Youre on the road, wanting to run
You got to stop boy, it aint just talk, no way
So turn up the heat, and let it rock
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid
Look at me, I got my dancin shoes
Theres lots of women, which one do I choose
Ill place a wager, with a ten dollar bill
If the blond dont get me, then the brunette will
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid, alright
Better not tell me that Im unkind
But I dont wanna hear whats on your mind, no way
I dont need trouble, that was yesterday
I came to party, I came to play, yeah
So heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid
Heres lookin at you (heres lookin at you), heres lookin at you kid
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid

Home Of The Brave
Heres to johnny with his jo
And mickeys got a wife
And heres to jerry
He has got his joyce
And me, Im shaking
In my boots tonight
For the daughters and the sons
Lost in the home of the brave
And heres to the home of the brave
And heres to the life thats not saved
Heres to the home of the brave
Heres to the home of the brave
Heres to frank hit in some bar
In picturesque brooklyn heights
And heres to a friend who jumped in front of a train
At seven oclock one night
And another friend who thinks he lacks worth
Has disappeared from sight
Somewhere in the home
Of the brave
And heres to the home of the brave
And heres to the life thats not saved
Heres to the home of the brave
Heres to the home of the brave
The stars are hiding in their clouds
The street lights are too bright
A mans kicking a woman
Whos clutching his leg tight
And I think suddenly of you
And blink my eyes in fright
And rush off to the home
Of the brave
And heres to the home of the brave
Heres to the home of the brave
And heres to the life that is saved
Heres to the home of the brave
And everyday you have to die some
Cry some and die some
And everyday you have to die some
Cry some and die
In the home of the brave
Home of the brave

Heres to night we where......
Heres to the night we danced together...
Heres to the night we loved eachother...
Heres to the night we shared our dreams of hope....
Heres to the night we made love....
Heres to the night you wrapped me in your arms....
Heres to the night we loved eachother like no other.....
Heres to the night we laughed at eachother.....
Heres to the night we never forgot what was made between us....

Heres Johnny
Heres johnny
There he goes, he drives me crazy
When he says...(hee-eeres johnny!)
Thats his job, its so amazing
All he says is...(hee-eeres johnny!)
I never miss a moment when hes on the tube
His being there has made my life worth living
The chills run down my spine
Each time he says that line
Heres johnny! he says, and laughs in his special way
...johnny! he says, you know I love him
Heres johnny! he says, and second fiddle is his game
Ed mcmahons his name...all right
Dressed so fine, hes such a cool dude
Hear him say...(hee-eeres johnny!)
Watch him selling beer and dog food
Hear him say...(hee-eeres johnny!)
I got a letter from him just the other day
He said, you may already be a winner!
A trooper to the end
A clydesdales best friend
Heres johnny! he says, and laughs in his special way
...johnny! he says, you know I love him
Heres johnny! he says, and thats the way he gets his pay
What a living
Oh...(heres johnny! heres johnny!) wo-o-o, no
(heres johnny! heres johnny!) no no no no no no, I dont believe it
(heres johnny!) he says, and everytime its just the same
Ed mcmahons his name
A very special guy...all right
Hes on every night
Cant change the channel
When hes sitting on the panel
(hee-eeres johnny!)
There he goes, he gives me goose bumps
When he says...(hey-o-hey-hey-o!)
Heres johnny! he says, and laughs in his special way
...johnny! he says, you know I love him
Heres johnny! he says, that seems to be his claim to fame
Ed mcmahons his name

Lights & Virtues
(by jackson browne)
Heres to lights and virtues
Heres to truths yet to be known
Knowledge to light the darkness
The search for things of your own
Heres to lights and virtues
Heres to reaching higher ground
A life of hope and purpose
Heres to strength yet to be found
Honor -- though it goes unrecognized
And truth -- though liars abound
The pleasure of love and friendship
The courage to be alone

Heres To The Night
Heres to the night
So denied, so I lied
Are you the now or never kind?
In a day and a day love
Im gonna be gone for good again
Are you willing to be had?
Are you cool with just tonight?
Heres a toast to all those who hear me all to well
Heres to the night we felt alive
Heres to the tears you knew youd cry
Heres to goodbye tomorrows gone and come too soon
Put your name on the line
Along with place and time
Want to stay, not to go, I want to ditch the logical
Heres a toast to all those who hear me all too well
Heres to the night we felt alive
Heres to the tears you knew youd cry
Heres to goodbye tomorrows gone and come too soon
All my time is froze in motion
Cant I stay an hour or two or more
Dont let me let you go
Dont let me let you go
Heres a toast to all those who hear me all too well
Heres to the night we felt alive
Heres to the tears you knew youd cry
Heres to goodbye, tomorrows gone and come too soon
Too soon
Heres to the night we felt alive
Heres to the tears you knew youd cry
Heres to goodbye tomorrows gone and come too soon

Ramblin Boy
(tom paxton)
He was a man and a friend always
He stuck with me in the hard old days.
He never cared if I had no dough,
We rambled round in the rain and snow.
And heres to you, my ramblin boy,
May all your ramblin bring you joy.
Heres to you, my ramblin boy,
May all your ramblin bring you joy.
In tulsa town, we chanced to stray.
We thought that we, we might work one day.
The boss said he had room for one,
Said my old pal, wed rather bum.
And heres to you, my ramblin boy,
May all your ramblin bring you joy.
Heres to you, my ramblin boy,
May all your ramblin bring you joy.
Then late one night in a jungle camp
The weather it, it was cold and damp.
He got the chills, he got em bad,
I lost the only friend I had.
And heres to you, my ramblin boy,
May all your ramblin bring you joy.
Heres to you, my ramblin boy,
May all your ramblin bring you joy.
My ramblin pal has rambled on,
My ramblin boy, hes dead and gone.
If when we die, we go somewhere,
Ill bet you a dollar hes ramblin there.
And heres to you, my ramblin boy,
May all your ramblin bring you joy.
Heres to you, my ramblin boy,
May all your ramblin bring you joy.
May all your ramblin bring you joy.

Alaska & Me
This song appears on three albums, and was first released on the higher ground album, and has also been released on the gift you are and the john denver collection - calypso albums.
When I was a child and I lived in the city
I dreamed of alaska so far away
And I dreamed I was flying over mountains and glaciers
Somehow I knew Id live there one day
Well it took me some growin, and a fair bit of schoolin
And a little bit of trouble to get on the move
And I felt like a loser but I turned out the winner
When I came to alaska the land that I love
Heres to alaska, heres to the people
Heres to the wild and heres to the free
Heres to my life in a chosen country
Heres to alaska and me
I was born in a cabin on little mulchatna
Raised in hard times but I had a good life
From the first time I flew with my father a singin
I knew that Id wind up a bush pilots wife
We sleep near the sound of a slow running river
And wake up most mornings to a drizzling rain
And we face every day like the first or the last one
With nothin to lose and heaven to gain
Heres to alaska, heres to the people
Heres to the wild and heres to the free
Heres to my life in a chosen country
Heres to alaska and me
Oh, for the fire on a cold winters night
And once more to gaze at the great northern lights
For all of the beauty my children will see
Heres to alaska and me
Heres to alaska, heres to the people
Heres to the wild and heres to the free
Heres to my life in a chosen country
Heres to alaska and me

To all that we were, but cant be again
And lets just be thankful we parted as friends
Heres to the past, let the future begin

And heres to your everything
May your life be blessed with sweet happiness

You go chase your rainbows, go on reach for the sky
But come hold me close now, look deep in my eyes
Tell me you love me, then kiss me goodbye

Here Comes My Baby
In the midnight moonlight Ill be walking a long and lonely mile.
And every time I do, I keep seeing this picture of you.
Heres comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Heres comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love thats all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.
You never walk alone, and youre forever talking on the phone.
Ive tried to call you names, but every time it comes out the same.
Heres comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Heres comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love thats all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.
Im still waiting for your heart, cuz Im sure that some day its gonna start.
Youll be mine to hold each day, but til then this is all that I can say.
Heres comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Heres comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love thats all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.

Sleeping Single
Heres the house.
Heres the city and the stream.
Heres the father to my dream.
Heres the lost and lonely look in your eyes.
When you leave I will break down and cry.
Sleeping single -
I will wait for you.
Im sleeping single -
til you change your mind.
Sleeping single -
I will wait for you til time
Has gone by.
Ill pay the price
For all the love you poured like rain
toujours lamour over again,
But the midnight chills are getting so rough
And the bed is big enough for both of us.
Sleeping single -
I would die for you.
Im sleeping single -
Wont you change your way.
Sleeping single -
I will pray for you to stay,
He-he-hey...

Hooray For Love
Its the wonder of the world, its a rocket to the moon
It gets you high, it gets you low, but once you get that glow...
Heres to my best romance, heres to my worst romance
Heres to my first romance - ages ago
Heres to the boys Ive kissed, and to complete the list
Heres to the boys who said no!
Love, love, hooray for love
Who was ever too blase for love
Make this the night for love
If we have to fight, lets fight for love
Some sigh and cry for love
Ah, but in pa-ree they die for love
Some waste away for love
Just the same - hooray for love!
Its the rocket to the moon, with a touch of clare de lune
It gets you high, it gets you low, but once you get that glow...
Some trust to fate for love,
Others have to take off weight for love
Some go berzerk for love
Loafers even go to work for love
Sad songs are sobbed for love
People have their noses bobbed for love
Some say we pay for love
Just the same - hooray for love!

You Mean So Much To Me
A girl meets a guy
A car passes by
The moon shines down on a tree
A kid in the park
Should have been home by dark
You mean so much to me
The snow on the ground
A merry-go_round
A sight that was somethin to see
Some cigarette smoke
Some laughter a joke
You mean so much to me
It seems to be
Like heaven to me
With you at the end of the day
Heres looking at you
Heres looking at me
Dancing with history
That old crocodile
Got a satisfied smile
His life is no big mystery
A postcard you wrote
A musical note
You mean so much to me
Heres looking at you
Heres looking at you
Heres looking at me
Dancing with history
It seems to be
Like heaven to me
With you at the end of the day
A girl meets a guy
A car passes by
The moon shines down on a tree
Im thinking of you
So what else is new
You mean so much to me
You mean so much to me

Oh I was moved by your screen dream
Celluloid pictures of living
Your death could not kill my love for you
Take two people romantic
Smoky nightclub situation
Your cigarette traces a ladder
Heres looking at you kid
Celebrate years
Heres looking at you kid
Wipe away tears
Long time since were together
Now I hope its forever
Ideal love flies away now
White jacket, black tie, wings too
You gave her away to the hero
Words dont express my meaning
Notes could not spell out the score
But finding not keepings the lesson
Heres looking at you kid
Hard to forget
Heres looking at you kid
At least not yet
Your memory stays
It lingers ever
Will fade away never

Got To Let It Go
All my life-time plans,
I got em in my hands.
Balancing my fate upon a wire.
Got to let it go.
Everywhere I turn I see
Theres nowhere left to go.
All my dreams are far,
Too much for me to hold.
Still I hate to drop them,
Werent they from you?
What did I do?
You are the one that can see,
Into the heart of me.
Am I really giving up tomorrow?
Got, got, got to let it go.
This is gonna hurt a little,
Still its right I know.
Got to let it --
Even though I fear
Too much of me might show,
I cant wait any longer for it,
Ive had enough!
Ill give it up!
Lord, heres my heart,
Ive been keeping it from you,
And I got to let it go.
Holding on just breaks me, worry,
Got to let it go,
Come and take it from me, hurry,
Got to let it go.
Go to let it -- got to let it go.
Got to give up all of my control!
Holding on too tight,
Where do I lose sight?
Wheres the lamb that seems to bring frustration,
Go to let it go.
The best of dreams can turn to nightmares,
When my heart takes hold.
How long must I learn?
This lessons getting old,
Ive got to catch a clearer vision,
Im in your hands!
Youre in command!
Lord, heres my heart (heres my heart, heres my heart)
Ive been keeping it (keeping it, keeping it) from you!
And I got to let it go.
Holding on just breaks me, worry,
Got to let it go.
Come and take it from me, hurry,
Got to let it go.
Oh, Ive got to let it go.
Got to give up all of my control!
Lord, heres my heart (heres my heart, heres my heart)
Ive been keeping it (keeping it, keeping it) from you!
And I got to let it go.
Holding on just breaks me, worry,
Got to let it go.
Come and take it from me, hurry,
Got to let it go.
Oh, Ive got to let it go.
Got to give up all of my control!
Lord, heres my heart (heres my heart, heres my heart)
Ive been keeping it (keeping it, keeping it) from you!
And I got to let it go.
Holding on just breaks me, worry,
Got to let it go.
Come and take it from me, hurry,
Got to let it go.
Oh, Ive got to let it go.

Act Of Faith
I tell you honestly,
Dont you go and throw your heart away
I know its so hard to do
Youve got to let go when you want to hold on
I know how much you miss him celebrate what you had
Dont cry about the things left unsaid
Itll do no good
You look for mercy and a meaning somewhere
You know that the hurting wont go
til you walk through the fire
Its gonna take an act of faith stand up and face the day
Its gonna take an act of faith, nobody can make you stay
Its gonna take an act of faith
Maybe love will find its way back into your life
Heres my heart my love is in it
Heres my heart my love is in it
Stand up, dont you fall
You just take good care of where you are
Youre thinking lifes through with you

I know you loved him baby celebrate who he was
I know you know youve got to go on and live your life
Go down to the river of the spirit that runs through you
And lay yourself down in the healing waters
Its gonna take an act of faith stand up and face the day
Its gonna take an act of faith, nobody can make you stay
Its gonna take an act of faith
Maybe love will find its way back into your life
Love is a healer
There is no purpose served in holding on
Love is a healer
There is no understanding why
Love is a healer
There is no sin in you that brought this to your door
My love, it just is

Its a picture of thee boy next door
And I loved him more than words could say
Never knew it til he moved away

Just thought Id take one more look
And recall when we were all
In the neighborhood
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Heres a photo of the neighborhood
Heres the corner where we stood
Heres a snapshot of dads old car
Never got us very far

Keys To My Heart

Heres the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Take me anywhere you wanna go
Heres the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Fill it up with love and let it roll
I gotta admit its been wrecked a time or two
A little t.l.c. and itll be brand spanking new
Honey slide on in, Ill let you take it for a spin
Youll like the way it feels when you get behind the wheel
Heres the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Take me anywhere you wanna go
Heres the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Fill it up with love and let it roll
If you hear little knocking it might be skipping a beat
When its hugging those curves, it just might overheat
Its got a lifetime guarantee, a hot rod built for speed
So go ahead and let if fly, youll love the way it rides
Heres the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Take me anywhere you wanna go
Heres the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Fill it up with love and let it roll
Heres the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Fill it up with love and let it roll
