Long, Long Ago

Tell me the tales that to me were so dear
Long, long ago, long, long ago
Sing me the songs I delighted to hear
Long, long ago, long ago
Now you are come all my grief is removed
Let me forget for how long you have roved
Let me believe that you love as you loved
Long, long ago, long ago
Do you remember the path where we met
Long, long ago, long, long ago
Ah yes, you told me you ne'er forget
Long, long ago, long ago
Then, to all others, my smile you preferred
Love, when you spoke, gave a charm to each word
Still my heart treasures the praises I heard
Long, long ago, long ago

The daylight's returning, darkness recedes
I feel just contentment, completely at ease
The day stretches before me, cheery and bright
A welcome reprieve, from a restless night
I look out my window and I wonder, how you are
I'll see you again soon, it's not very far
One cup of tea, then it's two then it's three,
Then it's four and maybe some more
I'm one year older and a little bit wiser,
I know more than I did before
When it gets complicated, I can forget where I stand
But all becomes clear with a cup in my hand
So bring me your troubles, your aches and your woes
I'm here when you need me, that's how it goes
I like to remember when we were young
I like to remember, the times to come
One cup of tea, then it's two then it's three,
Then it's four and maybe some more
I'm one year older and a little bit wiser,
I know more than I did before
The snow falls in winter, the rain in spring
With you by my side, I can face anything
Just one more cup, then I'll be on my way
I'll see you soon, there's so much to say
In the chill of the evening, the break of dawn
The world is turning, it all carries on
One cup of tea, then it's two then it's three
Then it's four and maybe some more
I'm one year older and a little bit wiser
I know more than I did before

There's nothin I like better than a rainy day
The raindrops on the sidewalk wash your cares away
Believe me, I know, there's nothing I can do
Believe me, I know, there's nothing I can say
The raindrops on my window flow until their end
I've not a thing to do and books to read in bed
Believe me, I know, there's so much left to do
Believe me, I know, I'd rather be here with you
When the rain comes, I go back to my bed
When the rain comes, I wanna be here with you instead
The rain sounds like a melody I long to hear
Its music fills my heart and whispers in my ear
Believe me, I know, there's so much I can't see
Believe me, I know, this day is for you and me

Heron

Heron high in the sky
What do you see as you go by
White as snow, where do you go
When the night winds blow
Down below, I see you
Bound to earth I only wonder
How it feels to soar
How it feels to fly
Heron lives by the river
Heron fishes in the lake
Heron soars to the treetops
Heron freedom so takes
Down below, I see you
Bound to earth I only wonder
How it feels to soar
How it feels to fly
My will is like the heron
I am longing to take flight
I am restless in the daytime
I am restless in the night
Down below, I see you
Bound to earth I only wonder
How it feels to soar
How it feels to fly

Words on a Page
06:04

The sun is rising on a forgotten place
Seems like just another day for the human race
But something is lost that can't be replaced
Gone with a whisper, left without a trace
Where do the stories go with no one left to tell?
Who writes the history, who marks the farewell?
People come and they go as well
Not even left in memories to dwell
So much more than words on a page,
That which is lost we never shall gauge
Teach your children, your friends
Maybe this won't be the end
Here was a kingdom, a culture forgot
Stamped out, vetted out, left to rot
Centuries of history all seem for naught
What have we done, what hell have we wrought
But there in the ashes, something breaks free
A word or a phrase in memory
Then language grows like a tree
Not all is lost, you will see
So much more than words on a page,
That which is lost we never shall gauge
Teach your children, your friends
Maybe this won't be the end
Whether millions of speakers or hundreds or one
All are worthy when the day is done
Each day with the setting sun
We hope that number does not become none
The sun is rising on a brand new dawn
Seems like a new day for this road we're on
They'll teach and they'll learn, they'll pass it along
New generations will song their song
So much more than words on a page,
That which is lost we never shall gauge
Teach your children, your friends
Maybe this won't be the end

Fly little sparrow, fly fly fly
We are kindred, you and I
With dreams of flight we soar on high
Leave this place, by and by
The winds are changing
The trees grow tall
The only force that is constant
Is my wish to move on
In my heart I've always known
There is no place that I call home
Someday soon I'll fly away
In the sky, come what may
The winds are changing
The trees grow tall
The only force that is constant
Is my wish to move on
Darling please don't wish me ill
I loved you then, I love you still
Different ways we both must go
Someday soon you will know
The winds are changing
The trees grow tall
The only force that is constant
Is my wish to move on
Fly little sparrow, fly fly fly
We are kindred, you and I
With dreams of flight we soar on high
Leave this place, by and by

Hymn for the Seeds
02:08
|
|||
|
My flowers grow in the garden
Leaves of green, flowers of blue
I tend them like my children
A seed is just a tiny thing
It is a promise, to the world
With patience, a miracle unfolds
All trees have grown from tiny seeds
They outlast and outgrow us
Is there anything so beautiful
I take a walk in the woods sometimes
Each step like a prayer
The soil beneath my feet

Five foot two, eyes of blue,
But oh! What those five foot could do
Has anybody seen my gal?
Turned up nose, turned down hose,
Never had no other beaus
Has anybody seen my gal?
Now if you run into, a five foot two
Covered with fur,
Diamond rings, and all those things
You bet your life it isn't her
But could she love, could she woo
Could she could she could she coo
Has anybody seen my gal?

Tonight You Belong to Me
02:18
|
|||
|
I know you belong to somebody new,
But tonight you belong to me
Although we're apart you're part of my heart
And tonight you belong to me
Way down by the stream
How sweet it will seem
Once more, just to dream
In the moonlight
My honey I know
With the dawn that you will be gone
But tonight you belong to me

Daffodil
01:48

Tired little daffodil in the snow
Resting where no thing will grow
Someday soon the sun will show
Someday soon the cold will go
Tired little bumblebee flying through the air
Headed on a journey who knows where
Headed for a place that's here nor there
Watch yourself, take care
Caterpillar longing to grow up tall
Wants to fly but can only crawl
Creatures are good, both big and small
You'll be a butterfly after all
Little bird longing to fly up high
Like her friends up in the sky
Looks at the world with a sigh
Your time will come by and by
