Sweet Summer Blue and Gold written by Robert Kimmel & Ken Edwards Look out your window The rain is turning into snow So the time has come you know You must decide to stay or go Oh how you love me Sweet summer blue and gold Will you stay with me Long winters gray and cold Go love, open up the door You'll see the winds aren't warm anymore The birds we heard all summer long Were chased away by winter storm Oh how you love me Sweet summer blue and gold Will you stay with me Long winters gray and cold Tell me with just a word If you're going to stay, love We'll wait the winter out And when summer comes we'll play, love Oh how you love me Sweet summer blue and gold Will you stay with me Long winters gray and cold |
If I Were You written by Robert Kimmel & Ken Edwards If I were you I'd be happy just knowing that Somebody loved me If I were you I'd be sad that somebody was Lonely without me If I were You I know just what I would do I'd fall in love too If I were you I'd have been in love all along And for a song I'd just up and leave Everything that I had behind I wouldn't mind it If I were you I know just what I would do I'd fall in love too I believe A love like mine Just can't be taken lightly And in time it will win you over You will see That my love won't wither like the others You're never going to get a better offer If I were you Then I wouldn't cry all the time I'd open my eyes and I would see There is someone so in love with me That's all that I need If I were you I know just what I would do I'd fall in love too |
Just a Little Bit of Rain written by Fred Neil If I should leave you Please try to remember the good times Warm days filled with sunshine And just a little bit of rain And if you look back Please try to forget all the bad times The lonely blue and sad times And just a little bit of rain Just a little bit of rain And if I look back You know I'll remember the good times Warm days filled with sunshine And just a little bit of rain Just a little bit of rain Just a little bit of rain |
Bicycle Song (Soon Now) written by Robert Kimmel & Ken Edwards Soon now I'm gonna tell the people in the streets And set 'em dancin' Soon now I'm gonna tell the whole world I'm in love Soon now I'm gonna write a letter home And tell my mother Soon now I'm gonna tell the whole world I'm in love I'm in love with you And the world is new It feels so good to be alive I'm in love I can't keep the news inside Soon now I'm gonna go walkin' through the trees And talkin' to the flowers Soon now I'm gonna tell the whole world I'm in love All of my life I was lonely Nobody cared Nobody loved me Now that you're here I'm always happy happy happy Soon now I'm gonna tell all of my friends And they'll go party Soon now I'm gonna tell the whole world I mean the whole world I mean the whole world I'm in love |
Orion written by Tom Campbell Orion look down Look down here please Tell me how much How much will it cost me What kind of coin What pretty pretty penny Tell me how long How long will my trial be How long will it be? Pollux and Castor Old twin brothers Tell me if he's If he's just like all the others Without the words That others have heard Tell me how long How long will my trial be How long will it be? Seven sisters I want you to say What will the price be And just what will I pay Tell me how soon In what empty room Tell me, tell me how long How long will my trial be How long will it be? Orion look down Look down here please Tell me how much How much will it cost me What kind of coin What pretty pretty penny Tell me, tell me how long How long will my trial be How long will it be? |

Back Home written by Kenneth Edwards The grass it seems greener since I saw it last New beauty keeps springing from out of my past These old things seem so good to me And you most of all And you most of all The day that I left here this place seemed so wrong Saw many just like it all summer long I thought of you, not someone new It's here I belong I was sure you'd be gone It doesn't matter where I went I don't regret the time I spent The things I learnt just brought me back to you Here I stand in your doorway and what will you do The best I can hope for is that you'll want me too I took the chance of losing you And it's you that I found, and me |
Meredith (On My Mind) written by Robert Kimmel & Kenneth Edwards When the sun comes up and I awake I think of you When I walk out to meet the day I think of you When the morning wind is in my face I think of you And you're on my mind On my mind And you're on my mind all the time When the sun gets high and heals the day I think of you When the air is still and the earth ablaze I think of you When the shadows stretch and start to fade I think of you And you're on my mind On my mind And you're on my mind all the time When the sun gets low and the day gets cold I think of you When the evening winds rise up and blow I think of you In the nights of silver black and gold I think of you And you're on my mind On my mind And you're on my mind all the time When the sun gets low and the day gets cold I think of you When the evening winds rise up and blow I think of you In the nights of silver black and gold I think of you And you're on my mind On my mind And you're on my mind all the time |
Train and the River written by Robert Kimmel & Kenneth Edwards I remember long ago dear We used to walk barefoot hand in hand We were young and so in love then Time never entered in our plans But now it rolls on like a train and the river In a new place every day Time rolls on like a train and the river Carrying our lives away Looking back on all that we've done It seems that we haven't done much at all And up ahead there's so much left And so little time to do it all And time is rolling on like a train and the river In a new place every day Time is rolling on like a train and the river Carrying our lives away Today's sadness Tomorrow's madness There's nowhere to run And nowhere to fall In a minute your chance is given So forget your future once and for all For time is rolling on like a train and the river In a new place every day Time rolls on like a train and the river Carrying our lives away Time rolls on like a train and the river In a new place every day Time rolls on like a train and the river Carrying our lives away |
All the Beautiful Things written by Robert Kimmel & Kenneth Edwards The rain doesn't fall on me any more The sun doesn't feel as warm as before Stars seem far away and fading from sight All the beautiful things in my life They're all gone, all gone, all gone now Close talks, long walks taken with friends Getting dirty playing with the neighborhood kids Waking up early to see the sun rise All the meaningful things in my life They're all gone, all gone, all gone now Song birds, summer words in my ear The fingers of the wind brushing my hair The mold on the leaves as they die each year The magical things in my life They're all gone, all gone, all gone now |
2:10 Train written by Tom Campbell & Linda Albertano Well I woke up this morning woah-oh And the sun refused to shine I knew I'd leave my baby oh With a troublin' mind It rains every morning oh And evening is the same And it's gonna be a long time oh 'Til I hear the 2:10 train Well I looked out my window oh And I couldn't keep from cryin' I knew the old 2:10 oh Would take me down the line That driver on that engine oh Well he ain't no friend of mine He's taken all the women oh And he's left the men behind Well now he won't be leaving Big Bend oh For another seven years I'm gonna find another baby oh To laugh away my tears When I get back to Houston woah-oh I'm gonna shout and tell How the Big Bend bought 'em oh It's a living burning hell Now when your lovin' baby leaves you oh Don't you feel so bad It makes you think about the good times oh With the one time man you've had He's crying don't leave me here baby Shackled to a chain But let me ride down with you oh Along the 2:10 train |
