There's a rose in the fisted glove / And the eagle flies with the dove / And if you can't be with the one you love / Love the one you're with / Love The One You’re With / When you're down and confused / And you don't remember who you're talking to / Concentration, slips away / Because your baby is so far away / Well there's a rose in the fisted glove / And the eagle flies with the dove / And if you can't be with the one you love, honey / Love the one you're with / Love the one you're with / Love the one you're with / Love the one you're with / Now, don't be angry, don't be sad / And don't sit crying over good times you've had / Get it together, and make it nice / You ain't gonna need any more advice / There's a rose in the fisted glove / And the eagle flies with the dove / But if you can't be with the one you love, honey / Love the one you're with, / Love the one you're with / Love the one you're with / Love the one you're with / Love the one you're with / Love the one you're with / Doo doot doot doot doot doot doot doot… © 1979 Lyrics and music by Stephen Stills.

You ask me if I love you / And I choke on my reply / I’d rather hurt you honestly / Than mislead you with a lie / And who am I to judge you / On what you say or do / I’m only just beginning / To see the real you / And sometimes when we touch / The honesty’s too much / And I have to close my eyes and hide / I wanna hold you till I die / Till we both break down and cry / I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides / At times I’d like to break you / And drive you to your knees / At times I’d like to break through / And hold you endlessly / At times I understand you / And I know how hard you try / I watched while love commands you / And I’ve watched love pass you by / At times I think we’re drifters / Still searching for a friend / A brother or a sister / But then the passion flares again / And sometimes when we touch / The honesty’s too much / And I have to close my eyes and hide / I want to hold ya till I die / Till we both break down and cry / I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides / Subsides. © 1977 by Dan Hill and Barry Mann.
Hand me down my walkin' cane / Hand me down my hat / Hurry now and don't be late / 'Cause we ain't got time to chat / You and me were goin' out / To catch the latest sound / Guranteed to blow your mind / So high you won't come down / Hey y'all prepare yourself for the rubberband man / You've never heard a sound / Like the rubberband man / You're bound to lose control / When the rubberband starts to jam / Once I went to hear them play / At a club outside of town / I was so surprised / I was hypnotized / By the sound these cats put down / When I saw this short fat guy / Stretch a band between his toes / Hey I laughed so hard 'cause the man got down / When he finally reached his nose / Hey y'all prepare yourself for the rubberband man / You've never heard a sound / Like the rubberband man / You're bound to lose control / When the rubberband starts to jam / Doo-doo-doo-do / Doo-doo-doo-do / Rubberband man / Hand me down my walkin' cane / Hand me down my hat / Hurry now and don't be late / 'Cause we ain't got time to chat / You and me were goin' out / To catch the latest sound / Guranteed to blow your mind / So high you won't come down / Hey y'all prepare yourself for the rubberband man / You've never heard a sound / Like the rubberband man / You're bound to lose control / When the rubberband starts to jam / Doo-doo-doo-do / Rubberband man. © 1976 by The Spinners.
Ain't it good babe, you and me / We sailed the stormy waters, we calmed the angry sea / We knew we could babe, you and me / Just as long as we have you and me / What more can a man want, than a woman by his side / To understand, and hold his hand/ That every day can be the same, sometimes it's gonna rain / You are my sunshine (thank you), and I'm your man / Ain't it good babe, you and me / We sailed the stormy waters, we calmed the angry sea / We knew we could babe, you and me / Just as long as we have you and me / What more could a woman want than a man there beside her / Thru the good times, we had bad times (wait a minute!) / You've always been a pillow, a shoulder and a friend / And I thank God, that you are mine / Ain't it good babe, you and me / We sailed the stormy waters, we calmed the angry sea / We knew we could babe, you and me / Just as long as we have you and me. © 1978 by Roger Bowling and Larry Butler.

Ooooh... He's the greatest dancer / Oooooh... That I've ever seen... / One night in a disco / On the outskirts of Frisco / I was cruising' with my favorite gang / The place was so boring / Filled with out-of-towners touring / I knew that it wasn't my thing / I really wasn't caring / But I felt my eyes staring / At a guy who stood out in the crowd / He had the kind of body / That would shame Adonis / And a face that would make any man cry / Oh... what... wow ! He's the greatest dancer / Oh... what... wow !

You're neither here nor there, but somehow you're eveywhere / Or is that the wind reminding me of how you touched my hair / We used to laugh at time, but wasn't that yesterday / Didn't we touch / Didn't we feel / Didn't the music play / It's the last song I'm ever gonna hear / It's the last song that makes me feel you're near / It was the last dream that ever had a chance of coming true / The music of my life has gone with you / Why can't the past begin / Why did the future end / Would it betray a memory if I could love again / We never reached the sun, not cause we didn't try / We were so close, we were so warm, why did the music died / It's the last song I'm ever gonna hear/ It's the last song that makes me feel you're near / It was the last time that I ever shared the feelings that we knew / The music of my life has gone with you. © 1980 Lyrics and music by R.

I stayed out late one night and you moved in / I didn't mind 'cause of the state you were in / May I remind you that it's been a year since then? / Today the landlady, she said to me, "Your loony friend just made a pass at me" / Perhaps you might enjoy a cottage by the sea / So pack your toys away, your pretty boys away, your forty-fives away, your alibis away, your silly lies away, your old tie-dyes away, your one more tries away / You're moving out today / You nasty habits ain't confined to bed / The grocer told me what you do with bread / Why don't you take up with the baker's wife instead of me? / Pack up your rubber duck / I'd like to wish you luck / Your funny cigarettes, your sixty-one cassettes / pack all your clothes away / your rubber hose away,
your old day glows away / You're movin' out today / "I hate to do it"... / Pack up you dirty looks / your songs that have no hooks / your stacks of Modern Screen / your portrait of the queen / your mangy cat away / your baby fat away / You're headed that a-way / You're moving out today / Pack up your fork and spoon / but leave my Lorna Doones / Your map of Mozambique / Your waterbed that leaks / la la la la la la la la la / la la la la la la la la . . . / Can't help it...© 1977 by Bette Midler, Carol Bayer Sager, Bruce Roberts.
Someday, when I'm awfully low / When the world is cold / I will feel a glow just thinking of you / And the way you look tonight / Yes, you're lovely / With your smile so warm / And your cheek so soft / There is nothing for me but to love you / Just the way you look tonight / The very thought of you and I forget to do / The ordinary things that everyone ought to do / I see you face in every flower, your eyes in stars above / It's just the thought of you, the very thought of you, my love / You must remember this / A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh / The fundamental things apply / As time goes by / Moonlight and love songs / Never out of date / Hearts full of passion / Jealousy and hate / Woman needs man / And man must have his mate / That no one can deny / It's still the same old story / A fight for love and glory / A case of do or die / The world will always welcome lovers / As time goes by / Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers / As time goes by. © 1936 by Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields. / © 1934 by Ray Noble / © 1936 by Herman Hupfeld.

I'm the same old girl that I used to be / I haven't changed at all / I got the same old walk and the same old talk / That would run you up the wall / The same old face and the same old smile and / The same old baby blues / And I'm still doing the rhumba, baby / So I'm still the girl for you / I'm still doing the rhumba baby / I can't seem to quit / If my mama catches us doing the rhumba / Mama would just pitch a fit / But I can't help myself, it's much bigger than me / If I were you, I'd hang onto a rhumba girl like me / There's lots of girls on the floor tonight / With a lot slicker steps than me / The boogaloo and the funky broadway / Are such a pretty sight to see / My step might be old fashioned / But it's just fine with me / I got a couple of rhumba steps / You might like to see / I'm still doing the rhumba baby / I can't seem to quit / If my mama catches us doing the rhumba / Mama would just pitch a fit / But I can't help myself, it's much bigger than me / I got a couple of rhumba steps / You might like to see. © 1979 by Jesse Winchester.
Looking out on the morning rain / I used to feel so uninspired / Oh when I knew I had to face another day / Lord, it made me feel so tired / Before the day I met you, life was so unkind / But you're the key to my peace of mind / You make me feel, you make feel, you make me feel like a natural woman / Woman... Talk to me now / When my soul was in the lost-and-found / You came alone to claim it / I didn't know just what was wrong with me / Till your kiss helped me name it / Oh / Now I'm no longer a doubtful of what I'm living for / If I make you happy I don't need to do more / You make me feel, you make feel, you make me feel like a natural woman / Oh, Oh baby, what you've done to me / And you make me feel so good inside / And I just want to be close to you / You make me feel so alive / You make me feel, you make feel, you make me feel like a natural woman... © 1967 by Gerry Goffin and Carole King.
Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed / Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed / Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need / I say love, it is a flower, and you it's only seed / It's the heart, afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance / It's the dream, afraid of waking, that never takes a chance / It's the one who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give / And the soul, afraid of dyin', that never learns to live / When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long / And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong / Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows / Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes The Rose. © 1979 Lyrics and music by Amanda McBroom.

Here's to the hero in yesterday's clothes / Who wakes for tomorrow, whose name no-one knows / Here's to the dreamers who won't ever fly / Who'll wish on a star, who won't reach the sky / These are the brave and the strong / Who know how to cry when they're wrong / To stand when they'd most like to fall / This is the hero that lives in us all / Here's to a mother, who hopes and who fears / Who teaches a smile as she holds back a tear / And here's to the children afraid of the dark / Who face all the shadows with trust in their hearts / These are the brave and the strong / Who know how to cry when they're wrong / To stand when they'd most like to fall / This is the hero / Yes this is the hero that lives in us all.

You say you know exactly how I feel / It's what you see, but you're not me / I'm very sure, I always see your side / My point of view, I am not you / We cannot stand behind each other's eye and know what bring to tears / If we could, we could, we might just save these years / But there's three sides to every story / There's yours, there's mine and there's the truth / The answer somewhere in between / What we say and what we see / Just so much to do / You say you know exactly what went wrong / We shared a name / But not the blame / I'm very sure I always know your heart / It's where I find, but it's my mind / It's like an old mirror to ourselves / And see the same sweet guy / If we could this love would work out right / But there are three sides to every story / There's yours, there's mine and there's the truth / The answer somewhere in between / What we say and what we see / Just so much to do / Somehow to do. © 1984.
