Everlasting Love
/g/gloria+estefan/everlasting+love_20060711.html
Hearts go astray, leaving hurt when they go. I went away just when you needed me so. Filled with regret I come back beggin' you, Forgive, forget. Where's the love we once knew? Open up your eyes, then you'll realize here I stand With my everlasting love. Need you by my side, girl you'll be my bride. You'll never be denied everlasting love. From the very start, open up your heart, Be a lasting part of everlasting love. Real love will last forever. Ooh, ooh. Where life's river flows, no one really knows 'til someone's there to show the way to lasting love. Like the sun that shines, endlessly it shine, You always will be mine. It's everlasting love. When other loves are gone, ours will still be strong, We have our very own everlasting love. Real love will last forever. You give me, you give me, you give me everlasting love Ooh. Open up your eyes, then you'll realize here I stand With my everlasting love. Need you by my side, girl you'll be my bride. You'll never be denied everlasting love. From the very start, open up your heart, Be a lasting part of everlasting love. Real love will last forever. Open up your eyes, then you'll realize here I stand With my everlasting love. Need you by my side, girl you'll be my bride. You'll never be denied everlasting love. Open up your eyes, then you'll realize here I stand With my everlasting love. Need you by my side, girl you'll be my bride. You'll never be denied everlasting love. Open up your eyes, then you'll realize here I stand With my everlasting love. Need you by my side, girl you'll be my bride. You'll never be denied everlasting love.

Eyes Of Innocence

When I look into your eyes I can see all your hopes and dreams I can feel your warm desires And I know you're wanting me You've got to use discretion I don't know if it's right To take away that look from you By loving you tonight I'm looking in the eyes In the eyes of innocence I don't know if it's right to feel this way I'm looking in the eyes In the eyes of innocence And I'm afraid of the way You look at me Something inside keeps telling me This is a love that cannot be And even though I should not stay Can't bring myself to walk away You're holding my affections I don't know if it's right To take away that look from you By loving you tonight I'm looking in the eyes In the eyes of innocence I don't know if it's right to feel this way I'm looking in the eyes In the eyes of innocence And I'm afraid of the way you Look at me I'm looking in the eyes In the eyes of innocence I don't know if it's right to feel this way I'm looking in the eyes In the eyes of innocence And I'm afraid of the way I'm afraid of the way I'm afraid of the way you look at me

When you give what's in your heart, to the one you love You want them to give their love back to you When every kiss and every smile mean the world to you Then you've got it bad Don't need a cure for what you're going through This feelin' inside you can't let it hide [Chorus] Feelin', never stop that feelin' When your love is true Feelin', never stop that feelin' There ain't nothin' you can do now Feelin', never gonna stop that feelin' You feel it through and through, honey Feelin', never gonna stop that feelin' Cause there ain't nothin' you can do now, boy When every look and every touch makes you come undone And you can't believe this feelin' is real When the sound of someone's name gives you butterflies Don't wonder why 'cause you can be sure That you're in love This feelin' inside you can't let it hide [Chorus: x2]

ooooUooooHoooo...Mmmm...Mmm Love sometimes Can be like Destiny.... There's no way to say forever May not realize your dreams And love sometimes Is like the blowin' wind It can take us to wherever Sending us on silent wings But I have broken All the rules of love... I never dreamed that I could come this far.... And now I'm lost in my emotions You're becoming my devotion There's nothing I can do To stop this love for you... I was not supposed to Fall in love with you I have someone else.... Someone else is loving you And I was not supposed to Let this love get through (let love get through) So let me say for real.... Heaven's what I feel When I'm with you... (this feeling is forever) It is forever... (you make me feel like heaven) I feel like heaven (my love is true when I'm with you...ooh...oooh...you...ooo) How could I have Known that in your eyes (in your eyes) I would find the deepest answer To the questions of my heart And how could I have known That by your side (by your side) Was the light to fill the darkness And the shadows of my life But I have broken All the rules of love I never dreamed that I Could come this far And now I'm lost in my emotion You're becoming my devotion There's nothing I can do To stop this love for you... I was not supposed to Fall in love with you I have someone else.... Someone else is loving you And I was not supposed to Let this love get through (let love get through) So let me say for real.... Heaven's what I feel.... When I'm with you.... (this feeling is forever) ..oooU..oooU...oooo (you make me feel like heaven, my love is true, when I'm with you..ooo...ooo..Hoo..Hoo) (Heaven....Heaven...) Is what I feel When Were together (Heaven....Heaven...) Just look in my eyes and You'll see it's the truth..... I was not supposed to Fall in love with you I have someone else....

Hold me, hold me Never let me go Until you've told me, told me What I want to know And just hold me, hold me Make me tell you I'm in love with you (Hold me tight, never let me go) Thrill me, thrill me Walk me down the lane where shadows will be, will be Hiding lovers just the same as we'll be, we'll be When you make me tell you I love you (Will you take me in your arms) They told me, "Be sensible with your new love Don't be fooled thinking this is the last you'll find" But they never stood in the dark with you, love When you take me in your arms and drive me slowly out of my mind Kiss me, kiss me, and when you do I know that you will miss me, miss me If we ever say adieu, so kiss me, kiss me Make me tell you I'm in love with you

Nothin' New
/g/gloria+estefan/nothin+new_20060803.html
Why is nothing ever new for long And things go wrong in time How come love is never new for long We feel a change inside Things no longer feel the way they did People never care the way they did Lovers never love the way they did Were got to make it last Got to fan the spark People know that love is often cruel But still they fall in love I believe that only goes to prove That loves what we dream of Even if things can never be the way they were But if you just hold on your luck might take a turn We should put in practice What were learned That loves the only way We got to make it stay Life goes on Nothins ever new Maybe different than before You may not believe me But nothings ever Nothings ever, nothings ever new Don't know things will never be the same I've heard But if you just hold on your luck might take a turn We gotta put in practice Everything we've learned That loves the only way We got to make it stay Life goes on no matter what you do And though its crazy, nothings ever Nothings ever new You may not believe me, but its true But nothings ever new

Thumpety thump thump Thumpety thump thump Look at Frosty go Thumpety thump thump Thumpety thump thump Over the hills of snow Frosty the snowman Was a jolly happy soul With a corncob pipe And a button nose And two eyes made out of coal Frosty the snowman Is a fairy tale, they say He was made of snow But the children know How he came to life one day There must have been some magic in That old silk hat they found For when they placed it on his head He began to dance around Oh, Frosty the snowman Was alive as he could be And the children say He could laugh and play Just the same as you and me Thumpety thump thump Thumpety thump thump Look at Frosty go Thumpety thump thump Thumpety thump thump Over the hills of snow Frosty the snowman Knew the sun was hot that day So he said, "Let's run And we?ll have some fun now Before I melt away? Down to the village With a broomstick in his hand Running here and there All around the square Saying, "Catch me if you can" He led them down the streets of town Right to the traffic cop And he only paused a moment when He heard him holler, "Stop" Oh, Frosty the snowman Had to hurry on his way But he waved goodbye Saying, "Don't you cry I'll be back again some day" Thumpety thump thump Thumpety thump thump Look at Frosty go Thumpety thump thump Thumpety thump thump Over the hills of snow

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

God rest you merry gentlemen Let nothing you dismay Remember Christ our savior Was born on Christmas day To save us all from Satan's power When we were gone astray O tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy From God our heavenly father A blessed angel came And unto certain shepherds Brought tidings of the same How that in Bethlehem was born The son of god by name O tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy "Fear not", then said the angel "Let nothing you affright This day is born a Savior Of virtue, power, and might So frequently to vanquish all The friends of Satan quite" O tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy The shepherds at those tidings Rejoiced much in mind And left their flocks a-feeding In tempest, storm, and wind And went to Bethlehem straightway This blessed babe to find O tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy But when to Bethlehem they came Whereat this infant lay They found him in a manger Where oxen feed on hay His mother Mary kneeling Unto the Lord did pray O tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy Now to the Lord sing praises All you within this place And with true love and brotherhood Each other now embrace This holy tide of Christmas All others doth deface O tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy

"Nothing is for certain" That's what the showman said First you must open the curtain And stand 'em on their heads There can be no inhibitions No prima donna ways If you want to pass the audition And times is tough these days Remember when Mr. Barnum Presented Jenny Lind They named a candy after her A circus after him End of my story The rest is history She in all of her glory He lived quietly He needed her, she needed him As sure as the skies above In a way it was for them A lesson in love, a lesson in love You look like the moon glow That follows me home Always makes me turn around Won't leave me alone First to come are the midgets A monkey and a kid Followed by those two one-armed jugglers The ego and the id Songs of the season Apples of the sun There is no rhyme or reason Just a time for each and every one Hang on Mr. Barnum Hang on Jenny Lind We will meet you in streets of gold Where eternity begins We will let it all hangout Go hand in glove Life was meant to live and learn A lesson in love, a lesson in love

A Passing Ship

A passing ship I have found the open ocean Give me no lip The waves roll by as I pass on A sunlit sea On the first day of April How fresh the wind Will you miss me when I'm gone? How many words How many songs still unwritten? How many ships Of the line have come and gone? In the good old days May they never be forgotten They had heavy wind Or they had no wind at all A passing ship It is midnight on the ocean Had a real long trip I have been at sea all winter When my ship came in I was givin' up the ghost I think I should be Leavin' those passing ships alone When the sea runs high The sea runs wild and I'm unsteady And I think of you In the warmth of your home and family When love is true There is no truer occupation And may this gale Blow us to the ones we love Another day, another ocean Give me no lip But stand aside as I pass on A sunlit sea On the last day in October How fresh the wind Will you miss me from now on? I guess I should be Leavin' passing ships alone

Well, it's four o'clock in the afternoon And the anchors have been weighed From Miami to Nassau She's bound across the waves She'll be headin' south through Biscayne Bay Into the open sea Yarmouth Castle, she's a-dyin' and don't know it Now the many years she's been to sea She's seen the better times She gives a groan of protest As they cast away her lines And the grumble of her engines And the rust along her spine Tells the Castle she's too old to be sailin' But the sands run out within her heart A tiny spark glows red It smolders through the evening There's laughter overhead Now the dinner's served and the cards are dealt And the drinks are passed around Deep within the fire starts a-burnin' Now it's midnight on the open sea And the moon is shinin' bright Some people join the party And others say goodnight There's many who are sleepin' now It's been a busy day And a tiny wisp of smoke is a-risin' "Oh Lord," she groans, "I'm burning Let someone understand" But her silent plea is wasted In the playin' of the band Everybody's dancin' on her deck And they're havin' such a time And a voice says, "Shut up and deal, I'm losin'" Deep within the Yarmouth Castle The fire begins to glow It leaps into the hallways And climbs and twists and grows And the paint she wore to keep her young Oh Lord, how well it burns And soon that old fire is a-ragin' Up beneath the bridge it's climbin' fast The captain stands aloft He calls up to the boatswain, says "Boatswain, we are lost" For the ragged hoses in the racks No pressure do they hold And the people down below will soon be dyin' All amidships, oh she's blazin' now It's spreadin' fore and aft The people are a-scramblin' As the fire blocks their path The evil smoke surrounds them And they're fallin' in their tracks And the captain in his lifeboat is a-leavin' Oh then the ship, Bahama Star Comes steamin' through the night She sees the Castle blazin' And 'tis a terrible sight "Jump down, jump down", the captain cries "We'll save you if we can" Then the paint on his funnels is a-fryin' "God help the ones who sleep below And cannot find the way Thank God for those we rescue Upon this awful day" Now the heroes, they are many But the times are growin' slim And now from stern to bow, she's a-blazin' Oh the Yarmouth Castle's moanin' She's cryin' like a child You can hear her if you listen Above the roar so wild Is she cryin' for the ones who lie Within her molten sides? Or cryin' for herself, I'm a-wonderin' But the livin' soon were rescued The ones who lived to tell From the Star they watched her As she died there in the swells Like a toy ship on a mill pond She burned all through the night Then slipped beneath the waves in the mornin'

Beautiful
/g/gordon+lightfoot/beautiful_20162031.html
At times I just don't know How you could be anything but beautiful I think that I was made for you And you were made for me And I know that I won't ever change We've been friends through rain or shine For such a long, long time Laughing eyes and smiling face It seems so lucky just to have the right Of telling you with all my might You're beautiful tonight And I know that you won't ever stray Cause you've been that way from day to day For such a long, long time And when you hold me tight How could life be anything but beautiful I think that I was made for you And you were made for me And I know that I won't ever change We've been friends through rain or shine For such a long, long time Well, I must say it means so much to me To be the one who's telling you I'm telling you, that you're beautiful.

Biscuit City
/g/gordon+lightfoot/biscuit+city_20061619.html
I'd like to be in biscuit city With my banjo in my hand I don't need no long vacation In some foreign land Cause the sound of my own breathing Has been turning to a sigh I wish that I could make the time To be in biscuit city by and by Oh the water is of emerald And the beach is white as snow And everyone's got money And no place to go In a land of milk and honey It can really make you smile And if I had a ticket I would stay in biscuit city for a while All the girls are in bikinis All the boys are in the buff With the baby in between and That makes three of us And the streets are all so quiet And the walls are squeaky clean I think you ain't been nowhere 'til The town of biscuit city you have seen I'd rather be in biscuit city With my banjo in my hand Than take a big vacation In some foreign land Cause the sound of my own breathing Has been turning to a sigh If it were not for misfortune I would be in biscuit city by and by If it were not for misfortune I would stay in biscuit city 'til I die

Bitter Green
/g/gordon+lightfoot/bitter+green_20061510.html
Upon the Bitter Green she walked the hills above the town Echoed to her footsteps as soft as eiderdown Waiting for her master to kiss away her tears Waiting through the years [Chorus] Bitter Green they called her walking in the sun Loving everyone that she met Bitter Green they called her waiting in the sun Waiting for someone to take her home Some say he was a sailor who died away at sea Some say he was a prisoner who never was set free Lost upon the ocean he died there in the mist Dreaming of a kiss [Chorus] But now the Bitter Green is gone the hills have turned to rust There comes a weary stranger whose tears fall in the dust Kneeling by the churchyard in the autumn mist Dreaming of a kiss [Chorus]

Black Day In July
/g/gordon+lightfoot/black+day+in+july_20061532.html
Black day in July Motor city madness has touched the countryside And through the smoke and cinders You can hear it far and wide The doors are quickly bolted And the children locked inside Black day in July Black day in July And the soul of Motor City is bared across the land As the book of law and order is taken in the hands Of the sons of the fathers who were carried to this land Black day in July Black day in July In the streets of Motor City is a deadly silent sound And the body of a dead youth lies stretched upon the ground Upon the filthy pavement No reason can be found Black day in July Black day in July Motor City madness has touched the countryside And the people rise in anger And the streets begin to fill And there's gunfire from the rooftops And the blood begins to spill Black day in July In the mansion of the governor There's nothing that is known for sure The telephone is ringing And the pendulum is swinging And they wonder how it happened And they really know the reason And it wasn't just the temperature And it wasn't just the season Black day in July Black day in July Motor City's burning and the flames are running wild They reflect upon the waters of the river and the lake And everyone is listening And everyone's awake Black day in July Black day in July The printing press is turning And the news is quickly flashed And you read your morning paper And you sip your cup of tea And you wonder just in passing Is it him or is it me Black day in July In the office of the President The deed is done the troops are sent There's really not much choice you see It looks to us like anarchy And then the tanks go rolling in To patch things up as best they can There is no time to hesitate The speech is made the dues can wait Black day in July Black day in July The streets of Motor City now are quiet and serene But the shapes of gutted buildings Strike terror to the heart And you say how did it happen And you say how did it start Why can't we all be brothers Why can't we live in peace But the hands of the have-nots Keep falling out of reach Black day in July Black day in July Motor city madness has touched the countryside And through the smoke and cinders You can hear it far and wide The doors are quickly bolted And the children locked inside

Blackberry Wine
/g/gordon+lightfoot/blackberry+wine_20061632.html
There's a south wind risin' and The moon shines on my window sill I've got a feeling I might walk on over the hill I'm bent but not broken, all I need is some rest And a bottle of your very best Blackberry wine There's a new moon risin' and The wind sings its old song Pass it on over it's a sin to be sober too long I'm bent but not broken, all I need is my share Of a bottle of that very rare Blackberry wine My old gal's got a new dress on five and dime Try as she will she can't get me To come home on time But I'd never cheat her Or mistreat her you know As over the mountain I go Blackberry wine I'll be soft spoken All I need is my rest And a bottle of your very best Blackberry wine Now my days are numbered And one more heel's been killed Blackberry John left me His old recipe in his will I'm bent but not broken, All I need is some time And a bottle of your very fine Blackberry wine Blackberry wine, You know that I'm quite dry without you Blackberry wine

Brave Mountaineers
/g/gordon+lightfoot/brave+mountaineers_20061546.html
Born in the country and I like that country smile Of the little girls and boys, they remind me of a child That I knew and a big harvest moon That shon' by suppertime in the dusty afternoon And I need to be there When the autumn wind goes whistlin' through the trestle we would climb Like brave mountaineers We never were much bothered by time Born in the country and I like that country song We played for just a nickel every time we got to town And I bought you a dime diamond ring In the hayloft we would play, we were princesses and kings And I need to be there When the world gets too heavy and the shadows cross my mind Like brave mountaineers We never were much bothered by time Born in the country and I like that country way Of the uncles and the cousins and the card games they would play While the young ones slept overhead Beneath the quilts that mother made, when all the prayers were said And I need to be there When the autumn wind goes whistlin' through the trestle we would climb Like brave mountaineers We never were much bothered by time And I need to be there When the world gets too heavy and the shadows cross my mind Like brave mountaineers We never were much bothered by time

Canadian Railroad Trilogy
/g/gordon+lightfoot/canadian+railroad+trilogy_20061665.html
There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun Long before the white man and long before the wheel When the green dark forest was too silent to be real But time has no beginnings and hist'ry has no bounds As to this verdant country they came from all around They sailed upon her waterways and they walked the forests tall And they built the mines the mills and the factories for the good of us All And when the young man's fancy was turnin' to the spring The railroad men grew restless for to hear the hammers ring Their minds were overflowing with the visions of their day And many a fortune lost and won and many a debt to pay For they looked in the future and what did they see They saw an iron road runnin' from sea to the sea Bringin' the goods to a young growin' land All up through the seaports and into their hands Look away said they across this mighty land From the eastern shore to the western strand Bring in the workers and bring up the rails We gotta lay down the tracks and tear up the trails Open 'er heart let the life blood flow Gotta get on our way 'cause we're movin' too slow Bring in the workers and bring up the rails We're gonna lay down the tracks and tear up the trails Open 'er heart let the life blood flow Gotta get on our way 'cause we're movin' too slow Get on our way 'cause we're movin' too slow Behind the blue Rockies the sun is declinin' The stars, they come stealin' at the close of the day Across the wide prairie our loved ones lie sleeping Beyond the dark oceans in a place far away We are the navvies who work upon the railway Swingin' our hammers in the bright blazin' sun Livin' on stew and drinkin' bad whiskey Bendin' our old backs 'til the long days are done We are the navvies who work upon the railway Swingin' our hammers in the bright blazin' sun Layin' down track and buildin' the bridges Bendin' our old backs 'til the railroad is done So over the mountains and over the plains Into the muskeg and into the rain Up the St. Lawrence all the way to Gaspe Swingin' our hammers and drawin' our pay Drivin' 'em in and tyin' 'em down Away to the bunkhouse and into the town A dollar a day and a place for my head A drink to the livin' and a toast to the dead Oh the song of the future has been sung All the battles have been won O'er the mountain tops we stand All the world at our command We have opened up the soil With our teardrops and our toil For there was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun Long before the white man and long before the wheel When the green dark forest was too silent to be real When the green dark forest was too silent to be real And many are the dead men too silent to be real.

Clouds Of Loneliness
/g/gordon+lightfoot/clouds+of+loneliness_20826065.html
What can you do? You'll never win Where will you go when night closes in? Where will it lead? Will it ever end? Where will it stop? Losing a friend isn't what we had in mind exactly All we need is a friend I guess With my midnight star to guide through Clouds of loneliness You knew someone but was it love? So many years, push came to shove You had a dream, so they had one too You turned away, they were untrue In our early days we were too willing At the time we had yet to arrive Many a man and a woman found Trying to stay alive Where will you go? What will you do When your whole world ain't talking to you? Maybe you think you will see the light Baby, it's time you hope it's right And I'm all dressed up to be somebody All I need is a friendly face With my midnight crowd to glide through Clouds of empty space Seems like every time we turn around What we see could be anyone's guess Many a man and a woman found in Clouds of loneliness

Don't Beat Me Down
/g/gordon+lightfoot/dont+beat+me+down_20061512.html
Oh, when he was a man, my father would stand I never saw him run There wasn't anyone could make the man bend The strength of his will was the tool of his trade And he did his work well Till the powers that be took a liking to him And they traded his body for a cold empty shell Don't beat me down Don't beat me down I've got something to say Don't you stand in my way And don't beat me down Oh, when I was a youth, I found the truth In the eyes of a friend There wasn't anyone could make the light dim And we talked and we rambled and we gambled to win And the learning was good Till the powers that be to a liking to him They traded their fortunes for the sight of his blood When I was a child and my mother smiled At the cradle she bought For the little tot she held to her breast And the song that she sang was an anthem to love It was all that I heard Till the powers that be took a liking to me And they told me that love was a four-letter word Don't beat me down Don't beat me down I've got one life to live And that's all I can give So don't beat me down And now I've got a place, I got a worried face And a question in mind Please let me find a reason somehow Why some reap the harvest while other men die And the joker runs wild And if powers that be take a liking to us Then we all must return to the ways of a child We all must return to the ways of a child So don't beat me down Don't beat me down I've got something to say Don't you stand in my way And don't beat me down I've got one life to life And that's all I can give So don't beat me down Don't beat me down Don't beat me down

End Of All Time
/g/gordon+lightfoot/end+of+all+time_20802149.html
Oft times, I recall how it was in days gone by No tears at all, now you better not make me cry Because you know darn well I may ring your bell Is there anybody home? Is there anyone in there? Who can tell me where I am? Oft times, I recall when there wasn't no need to lie So much was said but we never did say goodbye Oh, how I long to hear you whisper in my ear Is there anybody home, don't you know I'm all alone? Can you tell me where I am? All I can do is love you 'til the end of all time One day, time will tell when you're living in yesterday Thinking of things to do, thinking of things to say Thinking of things divine, find a bottom line Is there anybody home? Is there anyone in there? Who can tell me where I am Oft times I recall, I was thinking of ways to win Ready to risk it, all until it wore thin Oh, how I long to hear you whisper in my ear Is there anybody home, don't you know, I'm all alone Can you tell me where I am? All I can do, is love you 'til the end of all time All I can do is love you 'til the end of all time

Go Go Round
/g/gordon+lightfoot/go+go+round_20061685.html
Alone upon the sidewalks of despair, 'twas there she wandered with her suitcase in her hand. Her fate she pondered, only a go-go girl in love with someone who didn't care. She met him on a night so rare when her friends were there and the band was grooving. When he gave a glance that said how much he would like to meet her, How was she to know at the time he would mistreat her? In her case she danced for him although a hundred eyes were turned her way, And before the set was through he knew she would be his loved one. Only a go-go girl in love with someone who didn't care, Only twenty-one, she was a young girl just in from somewhere. He's playing up in Michigan with a group they call The Intended, With a kiss, and a promise, he was gone, the song was ended. But as she walks, she waits for him, the pavement is a shoulder for her tears, But in her heart, she knows there is no way she can hope to change him. Only a go-go girl in love with someone who didn't care, Only twenty-one, she was a young girl just in from somewhere, Only a go-go girl in love with someone who didn't care, a go-go girl in love.

Hi'way Songs
/g/gordon+lightfoot/hiway+songs_20061611.html
When I walk the hill so high Around the town where I was born New York seems so far away Though I was there just yesterday I have played on my guitar In coffeehouses, hall and bars Everyone that I call friend Knows they will not be forgot Trains and planes and rented cars Singers, saints and other starts I suspect them every one They'll never change, it's too much fun Just for now I'd like to rest In the shade of a maple tree To the blue Canadian sky I'll say a prayer for the world out there When I stand on my own sod It feels so good to be home, by God The winter wind has turned my head But I always came up warm somehow Bottles, beads and cigarettes And lovers that I ain't found yet Pickin' with a friend till dawn And singing all of those hi'way songs Just for now I'd like to rest In the shade of a maple tree To the blue Canadian sky I'll say a prayer for the world out there When I walk the hill so high Around the town where I was born New York seems so far away Though I was there just yesterday I would travel all my life If loneliness was not the price While headin' north across that line's The only time I'm flyin'

If I Could
/g/gordon+lightfoot/if+i+could_20061513.html
If I could sing like the poets and kings of this world If I could rise like the wind or the tides of the sea I would sing you to sleep my love with sweet melody And let you dream away till the morning light returned again To take you away from me If I could speak with the tongues of the masters of old If I could tame all the fleeting perceptions I hold Would I stand in the marketplace before To be shouted down without any warning at all, to be stood by the wall And shot by the man in blue If I could run with the grace of a sun-colored stallion If I could fly like the great silver jets in the morning If I caused the wind to change with one wave of my hand And if I could play the final symphony and set it free Would it mean anything to you If I could stand like a rusty old man in his armor If I could ride the steed that he rode in his time I would turn his head away to the river And let him wander through the meadow grass, wild and free For everyone to see If I could sing like the poets and kings of this world If I could rise like the wind or the tides of the sea I would sing you to sleep my love with sweet melody And let you dream away till the morning light returned again To take you away from me

If You Could Read My Mind
/g/gordon+lightfoot/if+you+could+read+my+mind_20061587.html
If you could read my mind love, What a tale my thoughts could tell. Just like an old time movie, 'Bout a ghost from a wishing well. In a castle dark or a fortress strong With chains upon my feet. You know that ghost is me. And I will never be set free, As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see. If I could read your mind love, What a tale your thoughts could tell. Just like a paperback novel, The kind the drugstores sell. When you reach the part where the heartaches come, the hero would be me. Heroes often fail. And you won't read that book again Because the ending's just too hard to take. I walk away like a movie star Who gets burned in a three way script. Enter number two, A movie queen to play the scene Of bringing all the good things out in me, But for now love lets be real. I never thought I could act this way And I've got to say that I just don't get it. I don't know where we went wrong But the feelings gone and I just can't get it back. If you could read my mind love, What a tale my thoughts could tell. Just like an old time movie 'Bout a ghost from a wishing well. In a castle dark or a fortress strong With chains upon my feet, The story always ends. If you read between the lines You'll know that I'm just trying to understand The feeling that you LACK. I never thought I could feel this way And I got to say that I just don't get it. I don't know where we went wrong But the feelings gone And I just can't get it back.

If you got it Don't lose it girl it's got to be The one creative thing that's left for you and me If you find it Don't lose it all the very next day Lock it in your soul and throw the key away So, don't you let it go Let it stay let it grow Like the snow Don't let it melt away If you find it Then give it girl with all your might Forget about yourself you're not the losin' kind If you get it Then keep it cool don't let it die You may only see it once don't let it pass you by So don't you let it go Let it stay let it grow Like the snow Don't let it melt away If you find it Then give it girl with all your might Forget about yourself you're not the losin' kind If you get it Then keep it cool don't let it die You may only see it once don't let it pass you by Pass you by, don't let it die Don't let it go

If You Need Me
/g/gordon+lightfoot/if+you+need+me_20061558.html
If you want to know the reasons for The things I feel inside You can run away and hide if you want to But if you need me Show me a way to get through 'Cause I've not see anyone like you Since I was a man If you want to know for certain What is written in my soul Where my wildest dreams unfold Like an endless stream If you need me Show me a way to walk tall 'Cause I'd not seen anything at all Until I met you Sun lights up the seasons Blue eyes light up the night If you want to know the meaning of These feelings that's alright I could be with you tonight That's where I'd like to stay If you need me Show me a love that is true 'Cause I've not seen a woman like you Since I was a man If you want to know what magic lies Beneath the willow blooms In each corner of each room Where my love has strayed If you need me Show me a way to walk tall 'Cause I'd not seen anything at all Until I met you If you need me Show me a way to get through 'Cause I've not seen anything like you Since I was a man

I'll Be Alright
/g/gordon+lightfoot/ill+be+alright_20061687.html
I'll be alright I'll be alright if I don't have to smile If I don't to face the morning sunrise for a while I'll get along you know I'll take tomorrow with a grin If I never have to think about her love again And I won't mind if words are spoken In empty love songs as long as I don't have to hear I'll be alright if I don't have to face the world again And if I never love again I'll be alright Last night she gave the final word, she said her last goodbye And disappeared forever in the world outside One kiss and then she took her leave to go I know not where Into the misty shadows of the midnight air But I won't mind if words are spoken In empty love songs as long as I don't have to hear I'll be alright if I don't have to face the world again And if I never love again I'll be alright And if I never love again I'll be alright

I'll Do Anything
/g/gordon+lightfoot/ill+do+anything_20061634.html
Down in the warm dark part of my heart you stay I've been on my own for so long as I stand here today I'd never leave you, I'll do anything that you say I've been around some walking on the down the street Feeling as low as the shoes on the soles of my feet Taking dead aim on fortune and fame you might say Playing guitar doesn't make you a star anyway Many's the time I've wished that I were free But my love for you was too deep for my eyes to see I'd never leave you, I'll do anything that you say Whenever the thought seems better off left alone I think of you then in a way that is ten times as strong Taking dead aim on fortune and fame you might say Playing guitar doesn't make you a star anyway I'd never leave you, I'll do anything that you say Try to believe me, I'll do anything that you say Though it might grieve me, I'll do anything that you say Please understand me, I'll do anything that you say
