THE WAY IT WAS BEFORE (Prince/Jones)
Don't run away
Don't run out on me
I'm beggin' you to stay
You just gotta see
Don't run to him
Don't run to his embrace
Things are lookin’ grim
And it's like a slap in the face
Can't you see you're hurtin’ me
Or don't I matter anymore
Is it him you dream of every night
While I'm dreamin’ of the way it was before
God can't it be the way it was before
All those nights a-dancin'
All those nights I held you tight
Now I'm drinkin' and a-cryin'
Sleepin' here alone tonight
Don't run, don't go
Don't run from somethin' good
Please let me tell you so
Do what you said you would
Can't you see you're hurtin’ me
Or don't I matter anymore
Is it him you dream of every night
While I'm dreamin’ of the way it was before
God can't it be the way it was before

WHERE THIS GOES (Prince/Jones)
I wanted to kiss you
Not the Blarney Stone
I wanted to be with you
But I sit here alone
I wanted to hold hands
Walk among the glens
And I so wanted to be
Something more than friends
So kiss me softly
Kiss me sweet
Let our bodies
Finally meet
Hold me tightly
Hold me close
I am so ready
To see where this goes
Da da da da da da da…
So kiss me softly
Kiss me sweet
Let our bodies
Finally meet
Hold me tightly
Hold me close
I am so ready
To see where this goes
Are you ready sweet Irish girl
Because I am ready to give you the world
I hope some day we'll be glad
For what we've done
We'll smile and remember when
Our two souls became one
So kiss me softly
Kiss me sweet
Let our bodies
Finally meet
Hold me tightly
Hold me close
I am so ready
To see where this goes
Yes I am ready
To see where this goes

UP AND ADAM BABY! (Prince/Jones)
She teased me so
With those red hot lips
And her come on looks
And her swayin’ hips
She always wanted us
To jive all night
And she wouldn't sit down
‘Til the mornin’ light
And she'd say...
Up and Adam Baby!
You’re the apple of my eye
Snake your way right into my arms
This Eve is gonna fly
Up and Adam Baby!
You’re the apple of my eye
Such a sweet temptation
Rock and Roly Poly
Each dance a sensation
Had me screaming Holy Moly!
She took me to places
That I never dreamed of
But with no airs or graces
Showed me everlastin’ love
And she'd say...
Up and Adam Baby!
You’re the apple of my eye
Snake your way right into my arms
This Eve is gonna fly
Up and Adam Baby!
You’re the apple of my eye
She told me everythin’ that we could ever be a-needin’
Was right here in our little garden of Eden
And she'd say...
Up and Adam Baby!
You’re the apple of my eye
Snake your way right to my arms
This Eve is gonna fly
Up and Adam Baby!
You’re the apple of my eye

SURE MEANT TO DO (Prince/Jones)
Every day I stare at these four walls
I've even gotten to pull down the shades
Don't want to see nobody else
You took the knife but left the blade
Every day I listen to songs we loved
Causing myself ever more pain
I've isolated myself from the world
Feel like I'll never love again
Somehow it's lonelier than lonely
I think somehow it's bluer than blue
Did I ever tell you…you were my one and only
It was something I sure meant to do
It's all my fault
Didn't tell you very much
Guess I thought you'd know It was all in my touch
Tomorrow will be just like today
Nothing changes and I don't know how
I'm gonna…gonna keep on going
They all seem like yesterdays now
Somehow it's lonelier than lonely
I think somehow it's bluer than blue
Did I ever tell you…you were my one and only
It was something I sure meant to do
Somehow it's lonelier than lonely
I think somehow it's bluer than blue
Did I ever tell you…you were my one and only
It was something I sure meant to do
Yes it was something I sure meant to do

BRING IT ON (Prince/Jones)
I'm gonna shake off 2020
From my head to my feet
I'm gonna walk a better road
Make my life extra sweet
I'm not looking back
That's never the way to turn
I don't even wanna see
All those bridges I have burned
Bring on this new year
Bring back some fun
2020 was a year
Where nobody won
I know that there is a helluva lot
More work to be done
So bring it on…bring it on…bring it on
I'm looking at the horizon
Looking towards the light
I want a brighter dawn
Not another long night
Do you want to join me
Let go of what was
Together we can do this
There is a greater cause
Bring on this new year
Bring back some fun
2020 was a year
Where nobody won
I know that there is a helluva lot
More work to be done
So bring it on…bring it on…bring it on
There were tears
It's time for cheers
Bring on this new year
Bring back some fun
2020 was a year
Where nobody won
I know that there is a helluva lot
More work to be done
So bring it on…bring it on…bring it on
Bring on this new year
Bring back some fun
2020 was a year
Where nobody won
I know that there is a helluva lot
More work to be done
So bring it on…bring it on…bring it on
Yeah bring it on…bring it on…bring it on

ICICLE GIRL (Prince/Jones)
The first time that I saw you
Snow was swirling round
You were licking an icicle
The snow had a peaceful sound
The flakes stuck to your hat
You were covered in white
I stood there watching you
What a wonderful sight
I call you my icicle girl
My beauty of the snow
You thawed my heart out
Now I want to show
My love…hand in glove for you
My icicle girl
When spring comes around
And the weather gets less cold
I’ll picture us together
Inside a snow globe
Each time that you kiss me
My heart feels so warm
I think that we would be just fine
Through the most severe ice storm
I call you my icicle girl
My beauty of the snow
You thawed my heart out
Now I want to show
My love…hand in glove for you
My icicle girl
Yes…you thawed my heart out
My icicle girl

SNOW COUDS (Prince/Jones)
The clouds rolled in like a heartache
His eyes clouded over too
His first holiday without her
Didn't know how he'd get through
The snow was as cold as he felt within
The clouds seemed so full of grief
He stood alone on the sidewalk there
Frozen in disbelief
Yes snow clouds were rolling in
God how he wanted her back again
To shield each other from the bitter cold
Oh how he wished he still had her there to hold
Her going, it came so quickly
The shock was like an avalanche
He was buried so deep in despair
Clinging on without a branch
Maybe next year would be easier
But this season was too raw
There would be no celebration
Just a black wreath on the door
Yes snow clouds were coming in
God how he wanted her back again
To shield each other from the bitter cold
Oh how he wished he still had her there to hold
Yes snow clouds were rolling in
God how he wanted her back again
To shield each other from the bitter cold
Oh how he wished he still had her there to hold
Oh how he wished he still had her there to hold

YOU BRING OUT THE BEST IN ME (Prince/Jones)
Sweet tender moments
When your soul shined bright
A deep and wide perspective
Changing from day to night
Silly to tickle my fancy
Funny to be absurd
The puns and the goofiness
The sweetest laugh I've ever heard
We still love to talk and wonder
Without us where would we be
I hope I've been a good companion
Because you bring out the best in me
You always bring out the best in me
Twenty-nine years
Where have they gone
I'm so happy it's you
As we continue on
A dreamer I fell in love with
A dreamer so much like me
We built a life together
We built a family
We still love to talk and wonder
Without us where would we be
I hope I've been a good companion
Because you bring out the best in me
You always bring out the best in me
Yes you bring out the best in me
You always bring out the best in me

EVERLASTING (Prince/Jones/Prince)
She always loved her flowers
Poinsettia the most of all
She would care for it throughout the year
Especially in the fall
She wanted blooms at Christmas
But no matter how hard she'd try
The crimson proved elusive and
She would shake her head and sigh
He lost his love one autumn
Death knocked upon their door
He lost his forever sweetheart
How could he go on like before
With the Christmas season nearing
The holidays seemed to loom
Then he saw his love's Poinsettia
Like magic in full bloom
Her name was Perpetua
Lover of flowering Poinsettia
She worked so hard to help them bloom
Now memories and blossoms fill the room
Their love was everlasting
Like the meaning of her name
And though she was gone this Christmas
There remains her crimson flame
He looked to the beautiful display
Where once she stood caressing
He cupped the blossoms in his hand
To celebrate their blessing
Their love was everlasting
Like the meaning of her name
And though she was gone this Christmas
There remains her crimson flame
And though she was gone this Christmas
There remains her crimson flame

DAISY (Prince/Jones)
I first saw her on that summer’s day
Chain of daisies around her neck
A picture of such loveliness
I had to double-check
I asked where she was going
She said, "Across the glade"
“May I walk beside you” I enquired
“Yes, kind sir” replied this fairest maid
Oh my sweet Daisy
My lassie, my life
Please will you marry me
I want you to be my wife
I will love you for all seasons
Right into the afterlife
Oh my sweet Daisy
My lassie, my life
I first loved her on that summer’s day
When I fell into her blue eyes
That her smile was so enchanting
Came as no surprise
Now my love has no limits
As I touch her fingertips
Such devotion I feel deep inside
Every time I kiss her tender lips
Oh my sweet Daisy
My lassie, my life
Please will you marry me
I want you to be my wife
I will love you for all seasons
Right into the afterlife
Oh my sweet Daisy
My lassie, my life
I will love you for all seasons
Right into the afterlife
Oh my sweet Daisy
My lassie, my life
Oh my sweet Daisy
My lassie, my life

CRUMPLED UP NOTES (Prince/Jones)
Wrote it over and over again
Couldn’t get down what I wanted to say
I want to tell you how I really feel
But without a hundred clichés
“I love you forever”? No, scratch that
It’s all been said before
“You are my life”? No, not good.
I want to say so much more
But my trashcan is full
Of crumpled up notes
I just threw another one in
How can I say
Straight words from my heart
Without being lame again?
“You are my soul mate”?
Nope, not that, the phrase has been overused
“How I love your body!”
Nada, that would just make you amused
Clichés, clichés
Are there any other ways
To say what you mean to me?
Clichés, more clichés
Is there another phrase
For “You hold the master key”?
But my trashcan is full
Of crumpled up notes
I just threw another one in
How can I say
Straight words from my heart
Without being lame again?
Maybe those notes should stay in the trash
They are things you’ve already heard
Perhaps I can show you just how I feel
Cause actions speak louder than words
But my trashcan is full
Of crumpled up notes
I just threw another one in
How can I say
Straight words from my heart
Without being lame again?
Yes my trashcan is full
Of crumpled up notes
I just threw another one in
How can I say
Straight words from my heart
Without being lame again?
Oh those crumpled up notes

DANCE SOME DO-SI-DO (Prince/Jones)
Gonna fry me up some taters
Gonna eat me a bowl of grits
Slice me up some t'maters

I reckon I'm proud she's mine
Gonna pick me up my fiddle

Gonna dance some do-si-do
Gonna pick me up my fiddle
Gonna rosin up my bow
Make fried cornbread on my griddle
Gonna dance some do-si-do

Gonna toss up some hay

Come on, what do you say
Gonna do a little two step
Gonna dance a promenade
Of course allemande left
Cause we like our fun homemade
Gonna pick me up my fiddle
Gonna rosin up my bow
Make fried cornbread on my griddle
Gonna dance some do-si-do

SPRING (Prince/Jones)
Spring is tiptoeing into her form
One moment cool, the next one warm
Rain and sunshine, what is the norm
Spring is going this way and that
Do I need an umbrella or maybe a hat
Should I have a shovel or a mitt and a bat
Spring, it's time to fully blossom
Winter has passed and you are anew
Spring, you can't keep playing possum
And I think you know just what to do
Warm spring rain yesterday
Deer hoof prints seen in the clay
Do I stay in or go out and play
One day is full of cloudy skies
The next the shadows are a surprise
A rainy sunset then an awesome sunrise
Spring, it's time to fully blossom
Winter has passed and you are anew
Spring, you can't keep playing possum
And I think you know just what to do
La la la la…

IT'S GONNA BE A BLAST! (Prince/Jones)
They're coming out of the woodwork
They're coming out from under a rock
They're dancing fast and furious
They're dancing 'round the clock
They're coming out of the deep woods
They're coming out of the cities too
They're dancing like there's no tomorrow
They're dancing like it's taboo
Why don't you come join them
Create a hell of a splash
Show up decked out in your finest
It's gonna be a blast..It's gonna be a blast
They're coming for the both of us
They're coming for young and old
They're dancing like they have a fever
They're dancing right out of control
Why don't you come join them
Create a hell of a splash
Show up decked out in your finest
It's gonna be a blast..It's gonna be a blast
Why don't you come join them
Create a hell of a splash
Show up decked out in your finest
It's gonna be a blast..It's gonna be a blast
They're coming out of the woodwork
They're coming out from under a rock
They're dancing fast and furious
They're dancing 'round the clock
They're coming out of the deep woods
They're coming out of the cities too
They're dancing like there's no tomorrow
They're dancing like it's taboo
Why don't you come join them
Create a hell of a splash
Show up decked out in your finest
It's gonna be a blast..It's gonna be a blast
Why don't you come join them
Create a hell of a splash
Show up decked out in your finest
It's gonna be a blast..It's gonna be a blast
Why don't you come join them

MY DEAREST OF LOVERS (Prince/Jones)
My last thought of you
As I floated away
Was that I knew true love
Yet I couldn't stay
My last breath with you
Seemed like the end
But love is eternal
Though I will ascend
Was it my last
Or just the beginning
Of a timeless love
With the veil now thinning
Can you feel me near
I'm holding your hand
My dearest of lovers
I hope you understand
My last kiss with you
Was so bittersweet
I can easily say now
We will again meet
My last moment with you
Was like no other
You are my heaven
My abiding lover
Was it my last
Or just the beginning
Of a timeless love
With the veil now thinning
Can you feel me near
I'm holding your hand
My dearest of lovers
I hope you understand
Was it my last
Or just the beginning
Of a timeless love
With the veil now thinning
Can you feel me near
I'm holding your hand
My dearest of lovers
I hope you understand

STEP INTO TOMORROW (Prince/Jones)
Tired of looking back
What have I learned
Time after time
I seemed to get burned
Picked the wrong ones
What was the lesson
From this moment on
I'm now confessin'
Gonna step into tomorrow
Gonna throw away the past
Gonna take as much time as needed
To have a love that'll last
I'm gonna go out dancin'
Float away beneath the moon
After so much heartache
It can't happen too soon
I'm gonna step into tomorrow…tomorrow
Why'd it take me so long
To find the right way
So no more procrastination
I'm gonna start today
Gonna step into tomorrow
Gonna throw away the past
Gonna take as much time as needed
To have a love that'll last
I'm gonna go out dancin'
Float away beneath the moon
After so much heartache
It can't happen too soon
I'm gonna step into tomorrow…tomorrow
Gonna step into tomorrow
Gonna throw away the past
Gonna take as much time as needed
To have a love that'll last
I'm gonna go out dancin'
Float away beneath the moon
After so much heartache
It can't happen too soon
I'm gonna step into tomorrow…tomorrow

SWEET AFTERGLOW (Prince/Jones)
We held hands and watched the fireworks
You stole kisses underneath that pine
I knew then how much I wanted you
And I'd do anything to make you mine
We walked along the lake at midnight
Sat by the fire we built in the dark
We knew we wanted to take it further
Cause we both felt that amazing spark
You told me how you loved me
We ignited like a fireworks show
Our hearts and souls together
As we basked in the sweet afterglow
Basked in the sweet afterglow
Little kisses lit us up again
We have no reason to constrain
Little kisses lit us up again
We have no reason to constrain
The fireworks between us keep going
Just like the passion in your eyes
I can't wait to have you touch me again
a pyrotechnic paradise
You told me how you loved me
We ignited like a fireworks show
Our hearts and souls together
As we basked in the sweet afterglow
Basked in the sweet afterglow
You told me how you loved me
We ignited like a fireworks show
Our hearts and souls together
As we basked in the sweet afterglow
Basked in the sweet afterglow

ISABELLE (Prince/Jones)
After watching my own father dying
I had to get far away
The grief had taken so much from me
My life was in disarray
I longed for warmer weather
A beach and me floating on the sea
I needed another culture
Little did I know just what there'd be
Her name was Isabelle
I saw happiness in her eyes
Her name was Isabelle
Didn't know I was searching
She was such a surprise
I can never go back to how I was
She's the queen I idolize
Oh…woh…hoh Isabelle
I felt I had been numb and uncaring
Before she came to me
It all felt like she was my rescue
She made me feel so free
Her name was Isabelle
I saw happiness in her eyes
Her name was Isabelle
Didn't know I was searching
She was such a surprise
I can never go back to how I was
She's the queen I idolize
Oh…woh…hoh Isabelle
Long black hair and dancing eyes
Swaying hips and sensual sighs
Her name was Isabelle
I saw happiness in her eyes
Her name was Isabelle
Didn't know I was searching
She was such a surprise
I can never go back to how I was
She's the queen I idolize
Oh…woh…hoh Isabelle
Oh…woh…hoh Isabelle
Oh…woh…hoh Isabelle

DANCING IN THE BREEZE (Prince/Jones)
In the breeze...in the breeze...
She asked me, my favorite flower
I thought how can I decide
There's pink Roses and Irises
Blood Roots, Tulips, alongside
Azaleas, Dutchman's Breeches
Wisteria, Sweet Pea blooms
Also Indian Paintbrush
And Lilacs to fill my rooms
And then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils
Yes then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils
In the breeze…in the breeze
I can never leave out so many
Larkspur and Four O'Clocks
Or the blessed wildflowers
I so love on all my walks
The Lily of the Valley
Fields of flowers that help me think
A prairie of Evening Primroses
The Bleeding Hearts so pink
And then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils
And then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils
In the breeze…in the breeze...
The choice is just impossible
I can’t pick just one or two
Petunias and Begonias
Peonies or Bonnets of blue
So many flowers that I love
I treasure blossom everywhere
Columbine or wild Foxgloves
Their sweet petals, their dramatic flare
And then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils
And then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils
In the breeze…in the breeze...
And then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils
And then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils
In the breeze…in the breeze...in the breeze...

TO LIFT YOU UP (Prince/Jones)
All the ripples you've sent out
With all the notes from your songs
Now come back to support you
To lift you up and make you strong
You've shared your gifts so freely
Without one selfish thought
The rainbow now comes back to you
For all the joy you've brought

To take away some of your pain
The love you've so easily sent out

We come now to lift you up
You've made the world much better
By sharing your giving heart
All that are lucky to know you
Sees your life as a piece of art

To take away some of your pain
The love you've so easily sent out
Will come back again and again
We come now to lift you up
We come now to lift you up

I WAS MADE FOR YOU (Prince/Jones)
You held me like fine china
Yet I know you think me strong
Wherever I was headed
It’s with you that I belong
You held all my attention
And captivated me
I was born to love you
And I do so easily
Somehow I knew it
That first afternoon
I may be old fashioned
But you made me swoon
My heart still lights up
When you enter the room
I was made for you
Made for you
I was made for you under the sun and moon
You held me in your tender gaze
And reached down in my soul
You set my spirit free
And made my body whole
You held me with such tenderness
Ans swept my fears away
With a love that feels magical
And grows stronger every day
Somehow I knew it
That first afternoon
I may be old fashioned
But you made me swoon
My heart still lights up
When you enter the room
I was made for you
Made for you
I was made for you under the sun and moon
Somehow I knew it
That first afternoon
I may be old fashioned
But you made me swoon
My heart still lights up
When you enter the room
I was made for you
Made for you
I was made for you under the sun and moon
I was made for you
Made for you
I was made for you under the sun and moon

SHE LEARNED TO WALTZ ON HER DADDY'S FEET (Prince/Jones)
She wasn't more than two years old
When her Daddy started dancing with her
She felt so grownup swirling round
It made her little heart stir
He always made that time so special
They'd dance as well as sing
Those hours they spent together
Were the best of everything
She learned to waltz on her Daddy's feet
She pretended he was her beau
He'd hold her up with his big hands
And round and round they'd go
Round and round they'd go
Every year it got a little harder
She was shooting up so fast
She still hears the music even now
And the giggles and the laughs
On the day that she got married
When she’d found her great romance
Her Daddy swirled her round the room once more
In a sweet father daughter dance
She learned to waltz on her Daddy's feet
She pretended he was her beau
He'd hold her up with his big hands
And round and round they'd go
Round and round they'd go

PURE HAPPINESS (Prince/Jones)
A little boy no more than three
Rode his bike with training wheels
Down the trail like a champion
I remember how that feels
A little girl with sparkling shoes
Skips along with her balloon
I think back to my own daughter
They all grow up far too soon
Like a flash
There’s pure happiness
And to see it makes my day
For a moment
Time is frozen
Pure happiness is on display
Along the path a young couple stroll
Newly wed and hand in hand
I’m a distant witness to their joy
For today their love is grand
An old man walking with a cane
Looking fondly at his wife
Happiness can come at any age
As we journey through this life
Like a flash
There’s pure happiness
And to see it makes my day
For a moment
Time is frozen
Pure happiness is on display
The woes and worries of the world
Can wait a little while
As people find pure happiness
In one another’s smile
Like a flash
There’s pure happiness
And to see it makes my day
For a moment
Time is frozen
Pure happiness is on display

Box of Treasures
03:16

I had a box of little things
I kept it underneath my bed
A hawk's soft feather
A rubber ball, bright red
So many favorite mementos
With no value except to me
A post card from my Grandpa
A rusty skeleton key
What makes a treasure
Surely not only gold
But things that bring a smile
To the young and to the old
What makes a keepsake
An eye from a teddy bear
A fossil in a rock you found
Photos you hold so dear
I only had a coupla items
In my box early on
But now it’s full of riches
I'd so miss if they were gone
In my box there is an acorn
A lucky buckeye and a dime
I look through my box often
Whenever I have the time
What makes a treasure
Surely not only gold
But things that bring a smile
To the young and to the old
What makes a keepsake
An eye from a teddy bear
A fossil in a rock you found
Photos you hold so dear

SERENE GREEN (Prince/Jones)
A warm August day
Loving this time
Frozen popsicles
Grape and lime
Long walks
Tall grass sways
I love the green
Of summer days
Serene green
What does it mean to me
Nature at its finest
Big summer trees
Green water sprinklers
A moss covered pond
Green birthday candles
To wish upon
Family here
Green summer shoes
Tart lemonade
Tasty barbeques
Ripe watermelon
Green and pink
Summer days pass
In a blink
Serene green
What does it mean to me
Nature at its finest
Big summer trees
Green water sprinklers
A moss covered pond
Green birthday candles
To wish upon
Serene green
What does it mean to me
Nature at its finest
Big summer trees
Green water sprinklers
A moss covered pond
Green birthday candles
To wish upon

EMPTY AND STILL (Prince/Jones)
The little white chapel stood vacant
The stained glass busted out of the frame
No congregation sang ‘bout tribulation
Nobody prayed in Jesus's name
The church stood empty and still
Shining up on that little green hill
They'll be no gatherings anymore
‘Cept for those on a distant shore
The last one buried in the cemetery
Was Preacher Wilson back in '81
The graves were bare, no flowers there
For families long gone
The church stood empty and still
Shining up on that little green hill
They'll be no gatherings anymore
‘Cept for those on a distant shore
The afternoon shadows stretch out long
Things change like shifting sand
It seems so wrong that there's no more song
They've all gone to the promised land
The church stood empty and still
Shining up on that little green hill
They'll be no gatherings anymore
‘Cept for those on a distant shore
The church stood empty and still
Shining up on that little green hill
They'll be no gatherings anymore
‘Cept for those on a distant shore

AUTUMN WALTZ (Prince/Jones)
I'll always remember
How you held me closely
As we swirled around gently
Like leaves floating down
I’ll always think of you
My sweet one and only
Each Autumn hereafter
As the green turns to brown
If we could only waltz once again
As the season is ending
I know how you love me
But you have to go
With the nights drawing in
I'll be ever more lonely
So think of me fondly
When the Northeast winds blow
I'll always dream of you
The two of us dancing
Such magical times
That ended too soon
I'll always be reminded
When Autumn’s advancing
I'll relive the enchantment
At each harvest moon
If we could only waltz once again
As the season is ending
I know how you love me
But you have to go
With the nights drawing in
I'll be ever more lonely
So think of me fondly
When the Northeast winds blow
La la la la…

LOVELY IN THE ELEMENTS (Prince/Jones)
The storm blew your hair all around
Made your dress cling tight and dripping wet
There was mud caked onto your shoes
But I saw you as the prettiest yet
The bright sunshine made you burn
There were even more freckles around your nose
You looked cute in those silly sunglasses
Now I know what my heart already knows
You’re most lovely in the elements
When snowflakes drift down from the sky
You catch a few upon your tongue
With a twinkle in your eye
The flowers bow to your beauty
The birds sing louder too
In every season, nature and I
Have fallen in love with you
You like to follow animal tracks
Or jump in a great big puddle
And on cold evenings it feels so nice
To just warm up and cuddle
You wear that old yellow raincoat
To walk the dogs for miles when it pours
You care for every living thing
That’s why I’m so glad that I’m yours
You’re most lovely in the elements
As butterflies flutter by
You catch a few upon your hand
With a twinkle in your eye
The flowers bow to your beauty
The birds sing louder too
In every season, nature and I
Have fallen in love with you
The flowers bow to your beauty
The birds sing louder too
In every season, nature and I
Have fallen in love with you

ONCE UPON A TIME (Prince?Jones)
Once upon a time
Once upon a clock
Once upon a century
In the town of Bedrock
Once upon a Wilma
Once upon a Fred
Once upon a Stone age
They were so happily wed
A love story is a love story
Either real or mere cartoon
The Flintstones held each other’s hand
Under a prehistoric moon
Is it ridiculous or is it sublime
To talk about their once upon a time
Once upon a Barney
Once upon a Betty
For a cave gal from long ago
She was rather pretty
Once upon a Pebbles
Once upon a Bam Bam
When those babies grew up
They got their own program
A love story is a love story
Either real or mere cartoon
The Flintstones held each other’s hand
Under a prehistoric moon
Is it ridiculous or is it sublime
To talk about their once upon a time
A love story is a love story
Either real or mere cartoon
The Flintstones held each other’s hand
Under a prehistoric moon
Is it ridiculous or is it sublime
To talk about their once upon a time

I Sigh and Fall to Sleep

Evening's come once again
The stars are softly glistening
You’re reading sweetly to me
And I’m so happy listening
Can't keep myself from yawning
You have such a soothing voice
I'd love to stay awake and hear
But I don’t have a choice
You read me about adventures
And mysteries unsolved
I try to keep my eyes open
Find out how they’re resolved
Your voice becomes a whisper
Of promises to keep
Although I try to stay awake
I sigh and fall to sleep
It's a ritual every night
We lie there in the bedroom
And all my problems fall away
As you brighten up the gloom
I treasure every story
Places far and pirate ships
My eyes again get heavy
And I take a dream filled trip
You read me about adventures
And mysteries unsolved
I try to keep my eyes open
Find out how they’re resolved
Your voice becomes a whisper
Of promises to keep
Although I try to stay awake
I sigh and fall to sleep
You read me about adventures
And mysteries unsolved
I try to keep my eyes open
Find out how they’re resolved
Your voice becomes a whisper
Of promises to keep
Although I try to stay awake
I sigh and fall to sleep

WILD THINGS TO DO (Prince/Jones)
I want to run like the elk in the mountains
I want to fly like a hawk in the air
I want to swim in the ocean like dolphins
And my wild babe, I want you there
I want to stand like a giant Sequoya
I want to nurture my young like a bear
I want to smell the fragrance of new roses
And my wild girl, I want you there
I want wild things to do
And to do them with you
Let’s both escape to the hills
I want wild things to do
And to do them with you
Like making love among the daffodils
I want to gallop like unbroken horses
I want to race like a fast prairie hare
I want to dive like an eagle for salmon
And my wild babe, I want you there
I want to climb like a goat to the summit
I want to lay like a wolf in its lair
I want to blossom like bluebells in springtime
And my wild girl, I want you there
I want wild things to do
And to do them with you
Let’s both escape to the hills
I want wild things to do
And to do them with you
Like making love among the daffodils
I want wild things to do
And to do them with you
Let’s both escape to the hills
I want wild things to do
And to do them with you
Like making love among the daffodils

LAST MINUTE LOVE (Prince/Jones)
I knew you were leavin’
Movin’ across states
My heart said I loved you
My head said don’t wait
But I was afraid to find out
If you loved me
So I kept holdin’ back
Until the 10:43
The train was a-comin’
And you were a-goin’
So I started runnin’
To beat that whistle blowin’
It was down to the last minute
Before you were gone
It was down to the wire
When I jumped on
I ran to your seat
There you were slumped in it
I confessed everything
It was love at the last minute
You looked up in surprise
But didn’t pull the alarm
By 10.46
We were in each other’s arms
Now we’re makin’ plans
There’s no turnin’ back
We have a last minute love
That'll last right down the track
The train was a-comin’
And you were a-goin’
So I started runnin’
To beat that whistle blowin’
It was down to the last minute
Before you were gone
It was down to the wire
When I jumped on
I ran to your seat
There you were slumped in it
I confessed everything
It was love at the last minute
It was down to the last minute
Before you were gone
It was down to the wire
When I jumped on
I ran to your seat
There you were slumped in it
I confessed everything
It was love at the last minute
