Love
03:46
|

It's there, it's there, it's everywhere
Like the quiet whisper of a distant prayer
Close your eyes, you'll feel it in the air
And on and on and on it goes
Forever, as far as anyone knows
Just like a river runs and the wind blows
Chorus:
It's in you, it's in me too, it's all that you are and all that I am
It's love, love, love
Love, love, love
Let's be, let's be happy and free
We'll chase those rainbows and dream big dreams
And let life unfold as we grow in its beauty
Let's run, let's run, let's have some fun
We'll laugh, we'll cry and we'll come undone
And count our many blessings one by one
(Chorus)

Side By Side
03:03
|

You are my better half and you bring out the best in me
And with your hand in mine there is nothing we won't beat
There'll be sunshine and rainbows, grey clouds and snowstorms
Highlights through low times, and we'll face it all side by side
When I look in your eyes, I see the love you have for me
And when you look in mine, it's my love for you that you'll see
There'll be sunshine and rainbows, grey clouds and snowstorms
Highlights through low times, and we'll face it all side by side
Together we'll weather whatever the weather
From this day forward until forward
There'll be sunshine and rainbows, grey clouds and snowstorms
Highlights through low times, and we'll face it all side by side

Summertime
03:12
|
|||
Summertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich and your mama's good lookin'
So hush little baby, don't you cry
One of these mornings, you're gonna rise up singin'
You'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
Until that morning, well nothing can harm you
With daddy and mama standing by

Every Single Second
04:14
|
|||
Drawing shapes and smiley faces on the frost on the glass
The breeze on your bare shoulders, your bare feet in the grass
The earthy smell of fallen leaves after an autumn's rain
Ice crystals that sting your nose when you breathe them in again and again
Darling, don't wish the time away
Or count down the days we have
Enjoy them, every single one of them
One day you'll find, how precious little time we have
So revel in every single second
Sun pouring down like honey through the clouds in golden rows
A thunderstorm in the afternoon, the afterglow of a rainbow
Making angels in the snow, catching snowflakes on your tongue
That first warm day of spring time when you turn your face up to the sun
Darling, don't wish the time away
Or count down the days we have
Enjoy them, every single one of them
One day you'll find, how precious little time we have
So revel in every single second
We can wonder about it all, or live in wonder, live in awe
As the mystery unfolds, in everyday miracles
That every single second holds

True Colors
04:01
|
|||
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Heart So Weary
04:50
|
|||
Bitter storm stirring up the blues
Waiting out the weather and for a letter from you
While the lone sparrow sings a lonesome tune
Oh how I played the fool and how I've been played
How I let empty promises take up too much space
How my heart yearns for the very thing that makes it ache
Lord give me a warm place to lay down my head
Void of the silence of words left unsaid
Letters half-written left unread
How I played the fool and how I've been played
Now I lay down my hand and I call a spade a spade
But my heart yearns for the very thing that makes it ache
Love is all around
But cannot be found
By a heart so weary, so weary
Love can't be found
By a heart so weary

What a Wonderful World
03:52
|
|||
I see trees of green,
red roses too.
I see them bloom,
for me and you.
And I think to myself,
what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue,
And clouds of white.
The bright blessed day,
The dark sacred night.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow,
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces,
Of people going by,
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying,
"I love you"
I hear babies cry,
I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more,
Than I'll ever know
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself,
What a wonderful world

For You
03:54
|
|||
Come my dear, may I dry your tears?
A heavy load, and a long, long road
Lies ahead for you, lies ahead for you
May I walk with you?
May I share your pain?
Your pain, your pain, your pain
Step into the morning light
So slowly open your eyes
The dark was hard for you
But you have made it through
Unburdened
You will fly high
With the stars you will shine, shine
And they will shine for you
For you, for you, for you.
