Plant a Smile

If I was a gambler i'd bet all my money, bet all my money on you
but you are a stranger an absolute danger, but not knowing you will not do
If I go away i'd hope you'd say you'd like to come along too
but you have your path now so just take it and laugh
there's nothing else that we can do
So I won't give in to the bad news
no I wont give into the pain
plant a smile on my face, see the world in its grace
there's nothing that we can't do
My old hero john was singing a song, a song about feelin' sad and blue
when I heard the words i turned to her and i told her I feel the same too
But I won't give in to the bad news
no I wont give into the pain
plant a smile on my face, see the world in its grace
there's nothing that we can't do
Now the world is crying and shouting out in pain
don't you know it's always been this way
thats why i get on my knees and i pray everyday that
I won't give in to the bad news
no I wont give into the pain
plant a smile on my face, see the world in its grace
there's nothing that we can't do
No I wont give into the sad blues I won't give into the shame
plant a smile on my face, see the world in its grace
there's nothing that we can't do

I'm so tired of waiting and hanging around
I've always had the feeling I've gotta leave this town
I'm screamin' and im cryin' gonna break down on my knees
I need a new view with a river and a cool slow breeze
And I need somebody now to save me
Now I'm down by the river it's bout to overflow
I'm screamin' to the wife grab the kid lets go
but the levee broke loose the water crashin' down on me
And I cant swim and the life raft is out of reach
So I need somebody now to save me
Yes I need somebody now to save me
The worlds burning down and the sea is comin' up
I have to scratch my head and once in a while I say I don't give a fuh
It doesn't matter now you bet your ass it didn't matter then
I'm only gonna stick around the people who are gonna be my friends
Cause I need somebody now to save me
Oh i said I need somebody oh please someone save me
I need to sombody oh please somebody said i need somebody now to save me

I met a girl in a bar not too long ago
We had some drinks and we danced real slow
woah my what can I say I fell in love
But then we parted went on our seperate ways
And now I think about her every day
Woah my, there goes another one
Oh lady say the word i'll be your boy you be my girl
Woah my, at least just stay the night
So I went out to get a cup of tea
and there she was standing right next to me
Woah my, sweet eyes and short hair
I said how ya doin'? Do you like dogs?
I've got a couple hey lets go for a walk
And woah my, she walked next to me
Oh lady say the word i'll be your boy you be my girl
Woah my, please don't say goodbye
Oh please don't say you're leaving
Don't make this the last time
I met you not long ago but now I think you know it's fine to say alright
I'm gonna stay the night
Oh lady say the word i'll be your boy you be my girl
Woah my please don't say goodbye

Waiting for the Day

I'm not thinking about the future, I'm done thinking about the past
I'm just trying to find a way to make the feeling last
I'm not jaded, we just faded out of touch
If I ever find a way to get my eyes to look in yours
I'd finally find the feeling of knowing what is sure
But I don't know how long it will be
Cause it's like waiting for the day the sun no longer shines
It's like waiting for the day the poets no longer have rhymes
But I'm still waiting for the day
Well you're like the sweetest madness that i've ever had
I loved to keep you laughing, even when I'm sad
Because I know it can show my why
And I know it may be hard for you to see
But i'll be anything that you want me to be
Just as long as you stay by my side
But that's like waiting for the day the stars fall to the sea
That's like waiting for the day one and two don't become a three
But i'm still waiting for the day
Oh well I waited for your call
A knock outside my door but you never cam
But I'll wait patiently my dear
I've waited all these years I'll wait some more
I'm not thinking about the future i'm done thinking about the past
I'm just trying to find a way to make my feeling last
But I don't know how long it will be

Beauty of Life

I look at my watch dazed and confused, I can't believe the time
All of these days are coming my way, and I'd like to spend them with you
I know in my heart we'll do the right thing, although it may feel so wrong
I'll love you my dear for all my years, this love could never be gone
Cause sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry
Sometimes we can't sleep at night
and Somedays we dance and one day we'll die
But oh that's the beauty of life
Well do what you love everyday no matter what they say
For you can't go wrong when you play the song that your heart sings each day
Find a partner and settle down, everything feels so right
Cause you might just find when you look in their eyes thats all you need in your life
Cause sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry
Sometimes we can't sleep at night
and Somedays we dance and one day we'll die
But oh that's the beauty of life
I look at my watch dazed and confused, I've lived through so many days
Well Willie spoke true when he sang to you, funny how time slips away
Cause sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry
Sometimes we can't sleep at night
and Somedays we dance and one day we'll die
But oh that's the beauty of life
