POWER FLOWER

***************
Pan is my name
I live outside the door
I have to keep the score of things around you
Fire and air,
water I prepare
I am the piper at the gates of dawning
It’s not magic it’s not madness
Just the elements I style
And I guarantee faithfully I will never go
Until all is said and done
In a twinkling I’ll be gone
Well excuse me I have so much more to do
Fancy I fell,
A childlike tap I’ll steal
Look twice my friend it’s not the wind at all
You’ll never see,
What you refuse to be
The power in the seeing is believing.
It’s not magic it’s not madness
Just the elements I style
And I guarantee faithfully I will never go
Until all is said and done
In a twinkling I’ll be gone
Well excuse me I have so much more to do
It’s not magic it’s not madness
Just the elements I style
And I guarantee faithfully I will never go
Until all is said and done
In a twinkling I’ll be gone
Well excuse me I have so much more to do
Flower Power, Power Flower, Flower Power, Power of Love

He’s a power flower yeah, oh
Protecting all the flowers, yeah, oh

oh, oh, oh, oh
He’s a power flower yeah, oh
Protecting all the flowers, yeah, oh

SHELTER IN THE RAIN
***************
When the lights are down
And the stage is bare
And no more magic’s in the air
There’s not a friend in sight to care
Your tears no one will share
I’ll be your comfort through your pain
I’ll be your shelter in the rain
When your sad is bad and your bad is worst
And there’s no who to turn to first
When you’ve done everything you can
No one’s there to take your hand
I’ll be you comfort through your pain
I’ll be your shelter in the rain
When you’ve looked around
And haven’t seen me anywhere
Though when you were down
I lifted you up from there
There isn’t a thing you can ask of me
I won’t do
Just you put your trust in me
My love will see you through
When the final candle’s flickered out
“Why me” is all you can think about
When all your joy has disappeared
Your future isn’t clear
I’ll be you comfort through your pain
I’ll be your shelter in the rain
When all the odds say there’s no chance
Amidst the final dance
I’ll be you comfort through your pain
I’ll be your shelter in the rain
I’ll be you comfort through your pain
Yes, I’ll be your shelter in the rain, rain
I’ll be your shelter,
Be your shelter, be your shelter in the rain
HAPPIER THAN THE MORNING SUN
***************
Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom bom bom bom
I’m happier than the morning sun
And that’s the way you said that it would be
If I should ever bring you inside my life.
I’m happier than the morning sun
And that’s the way you said that it would be
If I should ever bring you inside my life.
All my life I was alone,
Didn’t think I’d find my part,
Now I see there’s joy inside your arms.
Every day I searched for the star,
That never was in the sky,
And now I see this star is on earth.
And I’m happier than the morning sun
And that’s the way you said that I would be -that’s
what you told me yea
If I gave you a chance to come inside my life.
(I am) And I am happier than the morning sun
And that’s the way it will always be -that’s the way
it will always be
Ever since the day you came inside of my life.
Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom I love you.
Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom I love you.
Dum…

Yea
And I’m happier than the morning sun
And that’s the way you said that it would be -baby that’s
what you told me yea
If I should ever bring you inside my life.
-bring you inside my life
I’m happier than the morning sun
And that’s the way you said it would be
-woa that’s what you said it would be
If I should ever bring you inside my life.
Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom I love you.

Happier than the morning sun

-baby that’s what you told me yea
If I should ever bring you inside my life.
-bring you inside my life yea
I’m happier than the stars above
-yea the morning stars above
That’s the way you said that it would be
-that’s what you told me yea
If I should ever bring you inside of my life.
I believe that everyone should be
Happier than the morning sun
Happier than the morning sun
Happier than the morning sun
Happier than the morning sun
Happy happy, happy
MY CHERIE AMOUR
***************
La la la la la la, La la la la la la
My cherie amour, lovely as a summer day
My cherie amour, distant as the milky way
My cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore
You’re the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine
In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street
I’ve been near you, but you never noticed me
My cherie amour, won’t you tell me how could you ignore
That behind that little smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine
La la la la la la, La la la la la la
La la la la la la, La la la la la la
Maybe someday, you’ll see my face among the crowd
Maybe someday, I’ll share your little distant cloud
Oh, cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore
You’re the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine
La la la la la la, La la la la la la
La la la la la la, La la la la la la
ORDINARY PAIN
***************
When by the phone
In vain you sit
You very soon in your mind realize that it’s not just
An ordinary pain in your heart
When you by chance
Go knock on her door
Walkin’ away you’re convinced that it’s much more
Than just an ordinary pain in your heart
It’s more than just
An ordinary pain in your heart
Don’t fool yourself
But tell no one else
That it’s more than just
An ordinary pain
In your heart
When you catch up
But she says goodbye
Hold back your tears and before you start to cry
Say you feel unnecessary pain in your heart
Tell her you’re glad
It’s over in fact
Can she take with her the pain she brought you back
Takin that ordinary pain from your heart
It’s more than just
An ordinary pain from your heart
Don’t fool yourself
But tell no one else
That it’s more than just
An ordinary pain
In your heart
In your heart
In your heart
You’re just a masachistic fool
Because you knew my love was cruel
You never listened when they said
Don’t let that girl go to your head
But like a play boy you said no
or*di*nary pain
This little girl mind you will blow
or*di*nary pain
But then I blew you out the box
or*di*nary pain
When I put my stuff on key and lock
or*di*nary pain
It makes me feel kind of sick
or*di*nary pain
To know love put you in a trick
or*di*nary pain
I knew our love would have to end
or*di*nary pain
The day I made it with your friend
or*di*nary pain
Giving your love to one unreal
or*di*nary pain
Like a big fool I know you feel
or*di*nary pain
But in this lovie-dovie game
or*di*nary pain
With all its joy there must be pain
or*di*nary pain
But now the time has surely come
or*di*nary pain
This game don’t seem like so much fun
or*di*nary pain
You’re cryin big corcodile tears
or*di*nary pain
Don’t match the ones I’ve cried for years
or*di*nary pain
When I was home wainting for you
or*di*nary pain
You were out somewhere doing the do
or*di*nary pain
You know I’d really like to stay
or*di*nary pain
But like you did I’ve go to play
or*di*nary pain
You’re dumb to think I’d let you be
or*di*nary pain
Scott free without some pain from me
or*di*nary pain
I heard your song and took a chance
or*di*nary pain
But to your music I can’t dance
or*di*nary pain
Go tell your story ‘sob-sad’
or*di*nary pain
About you blowin what you had
or*di*nary pain
Since one ain’t good enough for you
or*di*nary pain
Then do yourself see how you do
or*di*nary pain
or*di*nary pain
or*di*nary pain
or*di*nary pain
or*di*nary pain
or*di*nary pain
