How It Is
Here's a little trap
That sometimes catches everyone
When today's as far as we can see
Faith in bright tomorrows
Giving way to resignation
That's how it is - How it's going to be
It's such a cloudy day
Seems we'll never see the sun
Or feel the day has possibilities
Frozen in the moment -
The lack of imagination
Between how it is and how it ought to be
Here's a little trap
That sometimes trips up everyone
When we tire of our own company
Sometimes we're the last to see beyond the day's frustrations
That's how it is - how it's going to be
It's such a cloudy day
Seems we'll never see the sun
I feel the day is all uncertainty
Burning in the moment - trapped by the desperation
Between how it is and how it ought to be
Foot upon the stair
Shoulder to the wheel
You can't tell yourself not to care
You can't tell yourself how to feel
That's how it is - Another cloudy day

All Around
I look to the east when the day
Is done and think of it all
All the thoughts that Ive seen of
Satin seams and tide pool dreams
I look to the sun
As the day is dawning
I carry my dreams
From a moment before
I try to recall
But I find myself yawning
I guess they are gone but theres more
So I head out the door
All around, listen and you can
Hear the sound
On cloudy days seems like i
Always feel this way
First break in the day if the time
Is right and nobody minds
I stroll down the lane take a breath
Of air and drift on a dream
I look to the sun
As the day is warming
Consider the things
That have happened before
I feel like Im one
With the wind on the hillside
I feel like Im one with the
River that runs by my door
All around, listen and you can
Hear the sound
On cloudy days seems like i
Always feel this way
All around, listen and you can
Hear the sound
On cloudy days seems like i
Always feel this way
I look to the sun
As the day is dawning
I carry my dreams
From a moment before
I feel like Im one
With the wind on the hillside
I feel like Im one with the
River that runs by my door
All around, listen and you can
Hear the sound
On cloudy days seems like i
Always feel this way

Cloudy Daze
You are my sunshine on a cloudy day
You gimme love and laughter when skies are grey
You are my sunshine on a cloudy day
You gimme love and laughter when skies are grey
You are my sunshine on a cloudy day
You are my sunshine on a cloudy day
You're there with me at my darkest hour
You fill my arms with the brightest flowers
You lift me up with the things you say
You are my sunshine on a rainy day
I wanna feel your arms in a warm embrace
I wanna see your love written on your face
And as time goes by
You'll be my sunshine on a cloudy day
You are my sunshine on a cloudy day
You gimme love and laughter when skies are grey
You are my sunshine on a cloudy day
You gimme love and laughter when skies are grey

Just A Man
Sky is clear tonight
Sky is clear tomorrow
A star is out
I reach for one to sparkle in my hand
A star is out
I will not touch you, I am just a man
Sky is clear tonight
Sky is clear tomorrow
And every night I shut my eyes
So I dont have to see the light
Shining so bright
Ill dream about a cloudy sky,
A cloudy sky
Ill dream about a cloudy sky, a cloudy
Man was born to love-
Though often he has sought
Like icarus, to fly too high-
And far too lonely than he ought
To kiss the sun of east and west
And hold the world at his behest-
To hold the terrible power
To whom only gods are blessed-
But me, I am just a man
And every night I shut my eyes
So I dont have to see the light
Shining so bright
Ill dream about a cloudy sky, a cloudy sky
And every night I shut my eyes
But now Ive got them open wide
Youve fallen into my hands
And now youre burning me
Youre burning me

Cloudy
The sky is gray and white and cloudy
Sometimes I think it's hanging down on me
And it's a hitchhike a hundred miles
I'm a raga-muffin child
Pointed finger-painted smile
I left my shadow waiting down the road for me a while
Cloudy
My thoughts are scattered and they're cloudy
They have no boreders, no boundaries
They echo and they swell
From Tolstoi to Tinkerbell
Down from Berkeley to Carmel
Got some pictures in my pocket and a lot of time to kill
Hey sunshine
I haven't seen you in a long time
Why don't you show your face and bend my mind?
These clouds stick to the sky
Like a floating question why
And they linger there to die
They don't know where they are going, and, my friend, neither do I

Feel the Moment
Feel the moment
And be present.
Smell the aroma of the moment
And never show that you are absent.
Feel the moment
The moment of dialogue
The moment of possibilities
The moment of expectation.
The moment of love.
Grab the moment
Treasure it as a priceless jewel
Claim it as a great gift
Hold it as your very own.

Why Do I
Why does my heart feel so down
when my friends are not around?
Why do I feel the world has gone
when I feel weak instead of strong?
They say if we hold our friends close to our heart
they will never stray away,
so why is it I feel so lonely today.
My eyes get very cloudy
with tears I want to cry.
My heart feels so heavy
as if part of it has to die.
Why do I feel so alone
like a small child lost from home?
Why do I feel so sad
when I know I am not alone?

Another Shoulder At The Wheel
(gary burr/john jarrard)
There are times when the winds blow every word I cry back again
And it gets hard, hard as I try to find the strength to even survive
But when Ive done all I can do
I can always turn to you
Another shoulder at the wheel to see me through
When the road is long, and the tears are real
When Im past the poin of giving up
Theres nothing like the feel of another shoulder at the wheel
In my path theres stones I could never roll away alone
There are times when I wake and my knees will tremble and shake
But theres someone who cares
And when I need you, youll be there
Another shoulder at the wheel to see me through
When the road is long, and the tears are real
When Im past the poin of giving up
Theres nothing like the feel of another shoulder at the wheel
Another shoulder at the wheel to see me through
When the road is long, and the tears are real
When Im past the poin of giving up
Theres nothing like the feel of another shoulder at the wheel
Oh another shoulder at the wheel

My Girl (live)
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
And when it's cold outside
I've got the month of May
I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way
My girl, I'm Talking about my girl
I've got so much honey the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song
Than the birds in the trees
I guess you'll say
what can make me feel this way
My girl, I'm talking about my girl
I don't need no money fortune or fame
I got all the riches baby one man can claim

What can make me feel this way

Cloudy Sky
The Moon she is a pretty girl who lives up in the stars
And that old cloud he's a great old man who loves her from afar
He loves her from afar
When Lady Moon smiles down on him ol' Cloud is all a-wonder
So he starts to sing to her and that's what makes the thunder
Can't ya listen baby that's what makes the thunder
Love is just a cloudy sky as far as I can see
And that ol' cloud up in the sky he got much chance in love as me
And some dry nights she won't come out when she hears him callin'
The tears come streamin' on down his cheeks and that's the rain a fallin'
Don't ya feel it baby hat's the rain a fallin'
Love is just a cloudy sky as far as I can see
And that ol' cloud up in the sky's got as much a chance in love as me
And when the night starts to gettin' light and he can see her goin'
He throws a kiss across the sky and that's the wind a blowin',
Can't ya feel it honey that's the wind a blowin'
Oh love is just a cloudy sky as far as I can see
And that ol' cloud up in the sky he's got as much a chance as me
He got as much a chance as me

The Sun Came Out Today
The sun came out today
to chase my blues away.
It didn’t want me to feel glum,
it wanted me to go out and have fun.
It knew how sad I’d been feeling,
so it came out to raise my smile.
It wanted me to feel happy
though the sky was cloudy and grey,
so the sun came out today
to chase my blues away.
I feel much more happier
and my life is lifted with my smile,
because the sun came out today
to chase my blues away.

I Can't Tell Bottom From The Top
And ev'rytime I get to thinking with ev'ry thought of you
I want to shout aloud
and then I think about the love
I had inside me and how you brought what's inside out.
So now love's made it to the outside
I want to tell the world of ev'rything I've found
somehow your love released a spring wound up inside me
you turned my living upside down;
And I can't tell the bottom from the top,
Am I standing on my head or on my heels ?
Is it cloudy, is it bright ?
Is it day or is it night ?
Am I wrong or am I right and is it real ?
Tell me where you learned the magic
the spell you used the day you made me fall
baby now I know that love is no illusion
I'm upside down
but ten feet tall.
And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels ?
Is it cloudy, is it bright ?
Is it day or is it night ?
Am I wrong or am I right and is it real ?
On and on I drifted with the tide
I didn't know that love could move me so
you filled my life with love and much more besides
and you showed me which way to go;
And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels ?
Is it cloudy, is it bright ?
Is it day or is it night ?
Am I wrong or am I right and is it real ?
And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels ?
Is it cloudy, is it bright ?
Is it day or is it night ?
Am I wrong or am I right and is it real ?

Feel The Breeze
(graham russell)
Since I met you how can I notice if the sky is blue or grey
But here I am standing outside looking into a cloudy day
This must be the time for reflection, my direction is not quite clear,
Now I feel the air is colder now I feel that winters here.
(chorus)
Feel the breeze, were coming to winter
(repeat)
I feel the breeze I feel dejected I feel a part of a love thats gone
For in this world to take some chances from your glances I see its wrong
Winters here and its a long one to be alone and in the cold
Brother sun you cast a shadow, now I need my lonely role.

Alone in a room
Its just me and you
I feel so lost
cause I dont know what to do
Now what if choose the wrong thing to do
Im so afraid, afraid of disappointing you

And ask you for your guidance

Guide me until Im sure

And I dont think my strenghts gonna last
So Im crying out
Crying out to you
Lord I know that youre the only one
Who is able to pull me through

So I need to talk to you
And ask you for your guidance

To do things your way
Dont let me make the same mistakes
Over and over again

And Ill be the one
To make sure the its carried out
And in me, I dont want any doubt
Thats why...

I need to talk to you
And ask you for your guidance
Especially today
When my life is a little bit cloudy
Guide me until Im sure
I open up my heart
Chorus 2
All I need to do
Is hear a single word from you
I open up my heart
Just one word could make
A difference in what I do lord
I open my heart to you
Youre the lover of my soul
Captain of my sea
I need a word from you
Thats why I open up my heart
