There’s a sun up in the sky
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
There’s more ways than one to fly
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
We can make it you and I
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
Do the monkeys in the trees have indigestion
Can you dig it
Were the lies you’ve said to me merely a question
Can you dig it
Is “to be or not to be” really a question
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
Well the devil’s on the loose
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
And the devil’s “loosey-goose”
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
Let’s you do what “er” you choose
Ride the waves and sing the blues
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
It’s a devil down the hill
Can ya dig it
Can ya dig it
It can give you such a thrill
Can ya dig it - Can ya dig it
It can make you cold and still
Can you dig it
Can ya dig it
Ah, Hah!
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
There’s a sun up in the sky
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
There’s more ways than one to fly
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
We can make it you and I
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
And can you dig it
Can you dig it
Can you dig it
Can ya dig it
Hey can you dig it
C’mon can you dig it

They Call It Jazz

They call it jazz
A soulful sound
A melody that spirit found
Within the heart
The human breast
A sound of love and happiness
They call it jazz
A-razz-ma-tazz
They call it jazz
They call it jazz
Spirit beguiled that rides the rails
It’s the orphan child
That stands alone and filters down
A sound a tone
A Spirit found
They call it jazz
A-razz-a-ma-tazz
They call it jazz
They call it jazz
And call it cool
And some folks say
It’s the Devil’s tool
The music that the Devil got
And call it cool but call it hot
They call it jazz
A-razz-a-ma-tazz
They call it jazz
Sha-ya-doo-ya-doo-ya-dooie-u-doo-wow

Make Someone Happy

Make someone happy
Make just one someone happy
Make someone the heart you sing to
One smile that cheers you
One face that lights when it nears you
One man you’re everything to
Fame if you win it
Comes and goes in a minute
Where’s the real stuff in life to cling to
Love is the answer
Someone to love is the answer
Once you’ve found him
Build your world around him
Make someone happy
Make just one someone happy
And you will be happy too
Make someone happy
Make just one someone happy
Make someone’s heart the heart you cling to
One smile that cheers you
One face that lights when it nears you
One man your everything
Fame if you win it
Comes and goes in a minute
Where’s the real stuff in life to cling to
Love is the answer
Someone to love is the answer
Once you’ve found him
Build your world around him
Make someone happy
Make just one someone happy
And you will be happy too
You’ll be happy too
You’ll be happy too
You’ll be happy too
Wee-doo-oo-doo-wee

Pearls
05:41

There is a woman in Somalia
Scraping for pearls on the roadside
There’s a force stronger than nature
Keeps her will alive
This is how she’s dying
She’s dying to survive
Don’t know what she’s made of
I would like to be that brave
She cries to the heaven above
There is a stone in my heart
She lives a life she didn’t choose
And it hurts like brand new shoes
It hurts like brand new shoes
There is a woman in Somalia
The sun gives her no mercy
The same sky we live under
Burns her to the bone
Long as afternoon shadows it’s gonna take her to get home Each grain carefully wrapped up
Pearls for her little girl
HALLELUJAH - HALLELUJAH
She cries to the Heaven above
There is a stone in my heart
She lives in a world she did not choose
And it hurts like brand new shoes
It hurts like brand new shoes
It hurts like brand new shoes

Close Your Eyes

Close your eyes
Rest your head on my shoulders and sleep
Close your eyes and I will close mine
Close your eyes
Let’s pretend that we’re both counting sheep
Close your eyes for this is divine
Music play something dreamy for dancing while we’re here romancing
It’s love’s holiday and love will be our guide
Close your eyes
When you open them dear I’ll be near by your side
So won’t you close your eyes
Close your eyes
Rest your head on my shoulder and sleep
Close your eyes oh this is divine
Close your eyes
Let’s pretend that we’re both counting sheep
Close your eyes yes this is divine
Music play something dreamy for dancing while we’re here romancing
It’s love’s holiday and love will be our guide
Close you eyes
When you open them dear I’ll be near by your side
So won’t you close your eyes
So won’t you close your eyes
So won’t you close your eyes
So won’t you close your eyes

The View
05:09
|

|
When I looked into your eyes
I saw a dream come true
It was in that magic moment
When I saw the view of love
There so inviting
Can it be true
At last I’ve seen the view
Eyes so tempting
Lips to call my name
Hands to touch my body
How could I be the same
In the years that I have loved you
My life’s been made anew
Each day that we’re together
I look for the view
Still so inviting
Can this be true
You are for me
I look I see
The view

I love the east
I love the west
And north or south
They’re both the best
But I’d only go there as a guest
‘Cause I love being here with you
I love the sea
I love the shore
I love the rocks and what is more
To me they’ll never be a bore
‘Cause I love being here with you
Singin’ in the shower
Laughing by the hour
Life is such a breezy game
Love all kinds of weather
Long as we’re together
I love to hear ‘ya say my name
I love good wine and fine cuisine
And candlelight I like the scene
But baby if you know what I mean
I love being here with you
I like a dance by Fred Astaire
Kurt Elling’s eyes a man with flair
I think to tell you is only fair
That I love being here with you
And Cary Grant
Oh doo dah day
His utter charm
Blew girls away

Both Sides Now
06:50
|
|||
|
Bows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I’ve looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way that you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I’ve looked at love that way
But now it’s just another show
And you leave ‘em laughing when you go
And if you care don’t let them know
Don’t give yourself away
I’ve looked at love from both sides now
From give and take and still somehow
It’s love’s illusions that I recall
I really don’t know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say “I love you” right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I’ve looked at life that way
But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their head they say that I’ve changed
But something’s lost and something’s gained
In living everyday
