NEVER IN YOUR SUN
***************
I met her at lover’s park
One rainy April Monday
Smiling soft and warm as on
A clear December Sunday
Wearing taffeta and lace
That matched her braided hair
With their coraled beads that sang to me
She said “hi” and asked me why
Was I looking with sorrow
When there were much brighter days
In store for me tomorrow
I looked up at her and smiled
And said, why I don’t know
But would she agree, to stay with me
And she said
Never in your sun, she said
Never in your sun, then she said
I will only come
In your pouring rain to relieve the pain
So if you are at lover’s park
And someone looks with sorrow
Ask them why are they so sad
When sunshine’s theirs tomorrow
They’ll reply they don’t know why
And ask you please to stay
’til the end of time, and when they’re fine
Be kind and say
Never in your sun, just tell them
Never in your sun, then say
I will only come
In your pouring rain, to relieve the pain, never, ever
Never in your sun, never in your sun, believe that
I will only come
In your pouring rain to relieve the pain
ONE LITTLE CHRISTMAS TREE
***************
One little Christmas tree was standing alone
Waiting for someone to come by
One little Christmas tree that never had grown
Cried as he looked up to the sky
Oh please Mr Father tree, the tallest of all
I’m so afraid and alone
Could one little Christmas tree so tiny and small
Light up someone’s home ’cause
One little Christmas tree can light up a home
So one little child can find a toy
One little Christmas tree can light up a home
So one little heart can find some joy
One little angel who was riding a star
Cried as she looked down at the tree
Oh please Mr Father tree wherever you are
May I give him the star you gave to me
Then in the heavens came a voice from afar
A voice that was heard throughout the world
Go down little angel girl and give him your star
Tonight he’ll light the world ’cause
One little Christmas tree can light up the world
So those who are lost may find their way
One little Christmas tree can light up the world
So all men may see you on Christmas Day
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE
***************

I just wanna hear ya say:

Darlin’ please, doh ‘oh
Oh yeah, I love you so…
GET IT
***************
… Miss Lady Girl
Is putting her love on the shelf
Cause she don’t want
To be hurt by nobody else
She’s taken her heart
And put it away under lock and key
But it’s high time
Miss Lady Girl sets her heart free and gives her love to me
… Some think that diamond rings, fancy cars
Will make a big impression
But I know that all she needs is my tender
Love and affection
Cause she still says
That no one’s gonna get it
No one’s gonna get it, oh no
But someone’s gotta get it
And I feel that I will be the one who will
… No one’s gonna get it
No one’s gonna get it, oh no
But someone’s gotta get it
And I know that I will be the one who will
… Gonna get it, her love
… Gonna get it, her kisses
… Gonna get it, her heart
… Gonna get it, get it
… Miss Lady Girl
Has buried her feelings deep inside
Cause she don’t want
To be taken for another ride
She’s sick and tired
of being on that lonely merry-go-round
She just don’t know
That the ultimate love
Of her life is about to be found
… They think that ready cash, flashy clothes
Will fill her life with laughter
But I’ve got the very thing that she needs
True love forever after
Then no more will she say
That no one’s gonna get it
No one’s gonna get it, oh no
But someone’s gotta get it
And I feel that I will be the one who will
… No one’s gonna got it
No one’s gonna get It, oh no
But someone’s gonna get it
And I know that I will be the one who will
Gonna get it, her love
Gonna get it, her kisses
Gonna get it, her heart
Gonna get it, gonna get it,
HEY LOVE
***************
Hey love
May I have a word with you?
I’d like to tell you, yeah
Just what I’ve been going through
My nights are so long
As I watch each hour go by
Hoping and praying
That someday I will be your guy
Hey love
You’re my one true soul desire
Hey love, baby
Can you feel this burning fire
Hey love
There’s one thing I find so true
When you are near me
I go through a change or two
Hearing your footsteps
I hurry to catch your eye
And I stand there waiting, yeah
But girl, you just walk on by
Say love
With a cold heart you are dealing
Hey love, yeah
It’s an awful hurting feeling
Hey love
Don’t pass me without some sign
Just look me over, yeah
You might want to change your mind
