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
4.
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
6.
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
7.
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.
