MUSEUM
written by Donovan Leitch
additional lyrics by Lee Aaron
©1967 Donovan Music Ltd.
I drink sweet wine for breakfast
I slept 'bout an hour or so
I smile a little in the silence
Deciding on where to go
"Meet me under the whale in the Natural History Museum"
I think that's what he said
A little sad about having to go there
Yawning in the sun, like a child I run
But don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that
Blue is a pretty colour
The sky so very large
Our love it is a liquid sunshine
So drink up all you can
So little do you think of beauty
Isn't it a shame whoa-ho-ho
You think that a little flowering
Is gonna make your troubles go
Don't you think it's time
To hear some of your mind
Uh don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that
Don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that
I don't wanna do it
Yawning in the sun, like a child I run
But don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that
Don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that

JOAN OF ARC
written by Lee Aaron and Joel Kroeker
©2003 Emotional Rain Music / Brycemoor Music
Stumblin' 'round for treasure in the dark
Wishin' for miracles on faded stars
Tryin' to fly with a broken wing
Seems the songbird lost her song of truth to sing
Honestly, I didn't think that it really mattered
Runnin' fast with the wind on my face
Always falling down in the same old place
Just like Joan of Arc
Wearing, paper armour
Longing to be number one
Never foolin' anyone
Just like me
Homecoming queen donned a crooked crown
Home was long since lost in a distant town
Dreamin' big but feelin' small
Seems the secret isn't havin' it all
Honestly, I forgot what, really mattered
Just like Joan of Arc
Wearing, paper armour
Longing to be number one
Never foolin' anyone
Just like me
Just like me
Coming clean and feeling small
Wishing for a miracle
Just like Joan of Arc
Wearing, paper armour
Longing to be number one
Never foolin' anyone
Just like me
Still you take this heart
Wearing, paper armour
A lover that you won't forsake
A promise you make
Just for me
Just like Joan of Arc
Joan of Arc
Just like me
THE WHY SONG
written by Lee Aaron
©2003 Emotional Rain Music
I wanna know why it feels so good
Why my heart explodes on a sunny mornin'
I wanna know why it feels so good with you
Huh-huh
I wanna know why the birds above
Start singing when we're making love
I wanna know how much is enough
When enough is never enough
I wanna know how God made the trees
Why it feels so fine in a summer breeze
I want the answers to all of these and more
Why it's you that I adore
I wanna know who said boys don't cry
And how aeroplanes stay in the sky
Why it feels so bad when you know your friend is, telling a lie
And why don't people follow good advice
And why does my dog think that I'm so nice
Why is everybody trying to get a little spice in life
When it's already quite alright
Isn't anybody satisfied?
And they think I'm the foolish one
And they think I'm the foolish one
But as sure as I'm new
And I question what's true
But I know how I feel about you
They think I'm the foolish one
I wanna know why blue's the colour of feeling down
And how money makes the world go round
A million things like these and more I've found that
Just don't make sense
How did Leonardo DaVinci get to be so smart
How the Rolling Stones get older but they don't fall apart
Why people care more about TV stars than Mozart
I guess classics only get a guy so far
Tell me is that really who we are?
And they think I'm the foolish one
And they think I'm the foolish one
But as sure as I'm new
And I question what's true
But I know how I feel about you
They think I'm the foolish one
But who'll be laughing when the fun is done
BOY GLORY
written by Lee Aaron and Joel Kroeker
©2003 Emotional Rain Music / Brycemoor Music
You were so gentle and so sweet
All along
I really thought I was complete
I was wrong
So many times I turned You down
Ran away
Somehow You knew I'd come around
You were so constant and so true
All along
Put my faith in everything but You
And I was wrong
But now I've finally realized
That You were right before my eyes
Lay Your hands on me Glory
Come and stand by me Glory
I sure did miss You sweet Glory
And You were here all along
I didn't know that I was running from myself
So I would run from someone else
And You were there like a friend
To catch me each time I would fall in the end
I surrender
Lay Your hands on me Glory
Come and stand by me Glory
I sure did miss You sweet Glory
And You were here all along
Lay Your hands on me Glory
Come and stand by me Glory
I sure did miss You sweet Glory
And You were here all along
Oh give in oh give in, oh give in to love
I gave in I gave in I gave in to love
Oh give in oh give in, oh give in to love
I gave in I gave in to love
Lay Your hands on me Glory
Come and stand by me Glory
I sure did miss You sweet Glory
And You were here all along
Here all along
You were here all along
Here all along
FAITH, HOPE, TRUTH, LOVE
written by Lee Aaron
©2003 Emotional Rain Music
Let hope, let hope be your guiding star
The truth will follow you wherever you are
Let faith touch the heart of every boy and girl
Because love, love, love is our gift to the world
Take me down, down to the living water
Take me down, down to the living sea
Take me down, down to the living water
Take me down, and rescue me
Life without joy is like a river without an ocean
A song without a heart is like a lover without devotion
And without grace we would be
Forever stumbling in the darkness
But for grace, we'll never be alone
So let hope, let hope be your guiding star
The truth will follow you wherever you are
Let faith touch the heart of every boy and girl
Because love, love, love is our gift to the world
Take me down, down to the living water
Take me down, down to the living sea
Take me down, down to the living water
Take me down, and rescue me
Eyes without light are like a garden without sunshine
A dream with no soul is like a child that's lost in the night
And without grace we would be
Forever stumbling in the darkness
But for grace, we'll never be alone
So let hope, let hope be your guiding star
The truth will follow you wherever you are
Let faith touch the heart of every boy and girl
Because love, love, love is our gift to the world
Take me down....
And without grace we would be
Forever stumbling in the darkness
But for grace, we'll never be alone
So let hope, let hope be your guiding star
The truth will follow you wherever you are
Let faith touch the heart of every boy and girl
Because love, love, love is our gift to the world
PRIVATE BILLIE HOLIDAY
written by Lee Aaron and Joel Kroeker
© 2003 Emotional Rain Music / Brycemoor Music
Once in another lifetime
A secret place we'd go
Down by the western seaside
Watching the sun set slow
Oh the sun set slow
I would have crossed the desert
All for one drunken kiss
'Cause you put a smile on my face like Mona Lisa
Funny how love's so fearless
And there we were
So tragic and beautiful
That thing you'd always say
"You're my private Billie Holiday"
Sometimes you'd hold me 'til sunrise
Swaying to old jazz tunes
How could we fail with faith that felt endless
A million dreams so true
Both lost and found in a moment
That gets you and sweeps you away
Changes the course of your life
So tragic and beautiful
That thing you'd always say
"You're my private Billie Holiday"
Once in a blue love letter
You promised to try for me
Why can't life be like a Frank Capra movie
With you and I in the final scene
Life's a wonderful moment
That gets you and sweeps you away
Changes the course of your life
So tragic and beautiful
That thing you'd always say
"You're my private Billie Holiday"
My private Billie Holiday
Private Billie Holiday
HEART SHAPED WHOLE
written by Lee Aaron and Joel Kroeker
©2003 Emotional Rain Music / Brycemoor Music
Dry as a bone
Bravin' it alone
In this dusty desert town
You always seem to know
Every place I go
Follow me and hunt me down
I got a God-shaped hole in my heart as big as Texas
Gettin' bigger every day
And I'm lookin' for a cool way out
The sun's so pretty in the sky
You love me and I don't know why
I don't know why
Elevator songs
Playin' all night long
In this lost and busted soul
Drownin' with the blues
You always seem to lose
All the things you love the most
I'm feelin' down on my luck
I hitched a ride in a truck to Toledo
You were waitin' at my stop
Red handed I was caught, I was done
The sun's so pretty in the sky
You love me and I don't know why
I don't know why
You think you're gonna fix this broken heart?
I heard a rumour that you fix up broken hearts
You're amazing - where would you start?
The sun's so pretty in the sky
You love me and I don't know why
What a lucky girl am I
The sun's so pretty in the sky
You love me and I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
HANDCUFFED TO A FENCE IN MISSISSIPPI
written by Jim White
©2001 Chrysalis Editions Scrl.
I'm handcuffed to a fence in Mississippi
My boyfriend blows a boozy goodbye kiss
I see flying squirrels and nightmares of stigmata
Then awakening to find my Trans-Am gone
Still I'm feeling pretty good about the future
Oh everything is peaches but the cream
I'm handcuffed to a fence in Mississippi
Where things is always better than they seem
Things is always better than they seem
Things is always better than they seem
I see the guitar that my sister played in prison
Floating with the TV in the swimming pool
I'm calling for the owner of the motel
And then noticing the bloodstain on the door
I'm reachin' for my high heels 'neath the bushes
Uh just in time to hear the sirens sing
I'm handcuffed to a fence in Mississippi
Where things is always better than they seem
Things is always better than they seem
Things is always better than they seem
My go-go boots are missing
My go-go boots are missing
I guess I won't be kissing
The boy
Who loved those boots
You know freedom's just a stupid superstition
'Cause life's a highway that you travel blind
It's true that having fun's a terminal addiction
What good is happiness when it's just a state of mind
For in the prison of perpetual emotion
We're all shackled to the millstone of our dreams
Me I'm handcuffed to a fence in Mississippi
Where things are always better than they seem
Things is always better than they seem
Things is always better than they seem
I'm feeling pretty good about the future
BEAUTIFUL THINGS

I stand and feast my eyes
Show me unsearchable things
River deep and river wide
Waters on the rise
Come by You my love
Come by You

Heart of You and heart of me
Open from inside
Come by You my love
Come by You
Come by You my love
Come by You
Come by You my love
Come by You
Come by You my love
Come by You
Come by You
Beauty from the ashes
Beauty from the dark
Never more shall we ever stand apart
Come by You my love
Come by You
Come by You my love
Come by You
Come by You
Come by You
Come by You
Come by You
LO & BEHOLD
written by James Taylor
©1969 Country Road Music / Blackwood Music Inc.
Lonely by day, empty and cold
Only to say, lo and behold
Deep in the night, down in my dreams
Glorious sight, this soul has seen
There's a well on the hill
You just can't kill for Jesus
There's a well on the hill
Let it be
I don't build no heathen temples
Where the Lord has laid His hand
There's a well on the hill
Let it be
Everyone's talkin' 'bout the gospel story
Some shall sink and some shall rise
Everyone's talkin' 'bout the train to glory
Be a long long time 'til it gets here to you baby
'Cause there's a well on the hill
You just can't kill for Jesus
There's a well on the hill
Let it be
I don't build no heathen temples
Where the Lord has laid His hand
There's a well on the hill
Let it be
Let it be
There's a well on the hill
There's a well on the hill
Lonely by day, empty and cold
Only to say, lo and behold
SILENT SERENADE
written by Lee Aaron and Joel Kroeker
©2003 Emotional Rain Music / Brycemoor Music
Silent hours and silent nights
Drifting into days that never end
The letters I write I never send
Shadow voices in this shadow place
A symphony of shadows in the wind
I feel this world transcend
I reach out to touch you and then
I know you can hear me
And I know you are there
And I miss you like I kissed you only yesterday
But in the meantime I pray
This silent serenade
Quiet moments and quiet songs
Tears that fall like diamonds in the sun
Eternal my love we are one
Distant heavens and distant dreams
The stars only remind me you're so far away
So many things my heart still wants to say
Wishing I could have made you stay
I know you can hear me
And I know you are there
And I miss you like I kissed you only yesterday
But in the meantime I pray
This silent serenade
And I know you can hear me
And I know you are there
And I miss you like I kissed you only yesterday
But in the meantime I pray
Quiet midnights, you will find me here
Staring from my window to the sky
I feel your love surround me then I...
I sing this serenade
This silent serenade
Silent serenade
DO I MOVE YOU

Do I move you? Are you willing?
Do I groove you? Is it thrilling?
Do I soothe you? Oh you gotta tell the truth now
Do I move you? Are you loose now?
The answer better be yeah
'Cause it pleases me

Does it give you, does it give you satisfaction?

The answer better be yeah
Oh, 'cause it pleases me
Are you ready, are you ready for this action?
Baby does it give you, does it give you satisfaction
Are you hip, oh baby are you hip to what I'm saying
Because if you are, let's start swayin'

When I touch ya, oh baby baby baby baby baby do you quiver
Ooh from your head, down to your liver
And if you like it, if ya like it ya know you gotta let me know it
Don't be psychic, 'cause you'll blow it
The answer better be yeah
Great God Almighty, it pleases me
HE AIN'T GOT RHTYHM
written by Irving Berlin
©1937 Williamson Music Co.
Well he ain't got rhythm
Every night he sits in the house alone
'Cause he ain't got rhythm
Every night he sits here and wears a frown
He attracted some attention
When he found the fourth dimension
But he ain't got rhythm
So nobody's with him
He's the loneliest man in town
Oh a lonely man is he
Bending over his books
His wife and family
Keep on giving him dirty looks
Because he ain't got rhythm
When they call him up
It's to call him down
He's a daring aviator
And has circled the equator
But he ain't got rhythm
So nobody's with him
He's the loneliest man in town
Well he ain't got rhythm
Every night he sits in the house alone
'Cause he ain't got rhythm
Every night he sits here and wears a frown
He attracted some attention
When he found the fourth dimension
But he ain't got rhythm
So nobody's with him
He's the loneliest man in town
Go Jane
Oh a lonely man is he
Bending over his books
His wife and family
Keep on giving him dirty looks
Because he ain't got rhythm
Well he ain't got rhythm
Every night he sits in the house alone
'Cause he ain't got rhythm
Every night he sits here and wears a frown
He attracted some attention
When he found the fourth dimension
But he ain't got rhythm
So nobody's with him
He's the loneliest man in town
Oh a lonely man is he
Bending over his books
His wife and family
Keep on giving him dirty looks
Because he ain't got rhythm
When they call him up
It's to call him down
He's a daring aviator
And has circled the equator
But he ain't got rhythm
So nobody's with him
He's the loneliest man
He's a lonely lonely man
In town

I'm an evil gal
Don't you bother with me
Oh baby I'm an evil gal
Don't you, bother with me
'Cause I'll empty your pockets
And I'll fill, you with misery
I' got men to the left

I' got men every night
So many men baby
I don't, know what to do
So I'm tellin' ya daddy
That I ain't no good for you

And I want
To set you

Ask me if I'd like to go
Around the world with you
If we could leave tomorrow
Baby ya know I'd love to
Ask me if I'd like to spend
A day in the jungle with you
As long as we're together boy
Baby ya know I'd love to
I'd love to quit my job
Dress like a slob
Run naked in the rain
Colour my hair
Maybe green if I dare
As long as I'm with you anything's game
Nothing's taboo where you are concerned
Nothing is so tried and true
'Cause when it comes to bein' in love
Baby with you I'd love to
Ask me if I'd like ta fly
On a spaceship to the moon
Aw gravity means nothin' ta me
So baby ya know I'd love to
Ask me if I'd like ta dine on
Caviar from a silver spoon
Paper plate me chocolate cake me
Baby ya know I'd love to
We could swing a trapeze
Join Save The Trees
Capture the last falling star
Drive a Lamborghini escape like Houdini
As long as I'm with you wherever you are
Nothing's taboo where you are concerned
Nothing is so tried an' true
When it comes to bein' in love
Oh baby with you I'd love to
Go
Ahh, nothing's taboo where you are concerned
Nothing is so tried an' true
When it comes to bein' in love
Baby with you, aw baby ya know
Baby, ya know, I'd love to
Oh I'd love to
I'd love to
I'd love to
I'd love to, yeah

CHASER FOR THE BLUES
written by Lee Aaron, Skip Everall and Jane Milliken
©1999 Emotional Rain Music
Dry martini, on the wetbar
I sip an' wonder, where you are
Are you alone tonight
Or is someone adoring you
Another cocktail's comin' my way
I wish tomorrow, would come some other day
But tonight, just to get through
Ta start me, thinkin' 'bout forgettin' you
Hey buddy, give me a chaser for the blues
Sweet cigarillos, and cheap perfume
Fill up this otherwise, half-empty room
In a gin and vermouth haze
I find myself slippin' away
Haunted by the memories
The tenderness, of your kiss
Is the one thing that I, I really miss
And the last thing, that I wanna do
Is to be here, thinkin' 'bout forgettin' you
Hey buddy, give me a chaser for the blues
Mama said it was my daddy's crutch
But sometimes a bourbon, can be virtuous
And this ain't the first time, I know he'd understand
It won't be the last time, I wash away a man
I sit alone here, with my new friend
Ah he don't talk much, but 'e listens on and
And people carry on, lovers dance to my sad song
And I am just invisible
Dry martini, on the wetbar
I sit here knowin', that wherever you are
Your heart is shiny an' new
While my heart is still, the eternal ingénue
Hey buddy, give me a chaser for the blues
A chaser for the blues
So I can leave this smoky room
Forgettin' to think
About
You
DOODLIN'
written by Horace Silver and Jon Hendricks
© Silhouette Music, c/o Quincy Jones Music Publ.
Usin' the phonebooth makin' a few calls
Doodlin' weird things usin' the booth walls
I go tme a big date I'm waitin' for my cat
He's puttin' his light on so he can look dap
I enjoy procrastinatin'
'Cause I'm busy while I'm waitin'
Doodlin' away
Sittin' an' dinin', dinner beginnin'
Started desiginin', usin' the linen
Jus' talkin' to my man an' doodlin' my bit
The waiter got salty, told me ta please quit
Told the waiter don't be dizzy
Can'tcha see I'm very busy
Doodlin' away
Do ya doodle all day
Asked the waiter in his way
Do ya doodle all night
Tell the waiter he was right
In your doodlin' way
That's the way I wanna stay
Are you painting things right
Doodlin' sheds a lotta light
I don't know what ta do
Ain't nothin' you can do
When I'm doodlin' you
Doodlin's all I wanna do
That's for true
Why does every little thing I see
Look exactly like a doodle ta me
If I ever had a doubt what
Life is all about I, get my pencil out
And then commence to doodlin'
And I find it so relaxing
Especially when I feel, that my life is really taxing
'Cause weird designs
They only show what's goin' on in weirder minds
'Cause when you doodle
Then your noodle's flying blind
Every little thing that you write
Just conceivably might
Be a thought, that you captured
While capping a wink
Doodlin' takes you beyond whatcha think
Then ya draw whatcha think
I'd be so lost without my doodlin'
It really helps to ease my mind
I'd be tempest tossed without my doodlin'
'Cause when I'm doodlin' there's one thing I find
I really, I really, really truly wanna figure out
What my doodlin's all about
Later the waiter had me arrested
Took me ta Bellevue where I was tested
I got me a doctor probin' my noodle
Before he was half done, I taught him ta doodle
Showed him hidden thoughts that linger
Findin' out right through your finger
Doodlin' away
The doctor was real nice told me ta be cool
Looked at the waiter, called 'im the real fool
He looked at my baby an' told 'im to feel free
Taught him ta doodle so he could bug me
When he put his arms around me
Much to his surprise he found me
Doodlin' away
Doo-doo-doodle all day
Gotta doodle baby!

TV IS THE THING THIS YEAR
written by William Sanford and Phil Medley

Well if you wanna have fun come home with me
You can stay all night and play with my TV
TV is the thing this year
This year.. TV is the thing this year
Radio was great, but now it's outta date
TV is the thing this year
Last night I was watchin' old Tom Mix
My TV broke and I was, in a fix
Got on the phone an' called my man I said
Get here daddy as fast as you can
TV is the thing this year
This year TV is the thing this year
Radio was great, but now it's outta date
TV is the thing this year
He turned my dial, to channel one
I knew that this, was gonna be fun
Turned right up, ta channel two
That station thrilled me through and through
Moved one notch, ta channel three
I said how I love what yer doin' ta me
TV is the thing this year
This year TV is the thing this year
Radio was great, but now it's outta date
TV is the thing this year
He moved on up, ta channel four
Just about the time someone knocked on the door
And the way he eased inta, channel five
I swear that man had fluid drive
Moved one notch, ta channel six
Opened up his little bag o' tricks
On channel seven, the show was late
But we still got our kicks on channel eight
TV is the thing this year
This year TV is the thing this year
Radio was great, but now it's outta date
TV is the thing this year
He grooved on up, ta channel nine
Said sweet baby are you, satisfied
Turned it up, ta channel ten
And then, we did it, all over again
He finally hit, on channel eleven
I cried more more, ya treat your daddy good
TV is the thing this year
Radio was great, but now it's outta date
TV is the thing this year
I gotta tell ya my TV's gonna need fixin' about this time, every night
IN THE DARK

Oh in the dark, it's just you and I
Oh baby not one sound, not one sigh
Just the beat of my poor heart
In the dark
Oh in the dark in the dark I get such a thrill
Oh when he presses his fingertips upon my lips
And he begs me to please please keep still
In the dark
But soon baby soon
Ya know this dance will be endin'
Oh, ooh-hoo and you're gonna be missed
And dear I'm not pretendin'
'Cause I swear it's fine
Fine to be kissed, oh in the dark
We will find, baby baby what the rest, have left behind
Just let them dance, we're gonna find romance
Oh in the dark
But soon baby soon
Ya know ya know ya know this dance will be endin'
Oh, and you're gonna be missed
Dear, I'm not pretendin'
'Cause I swear it's fine
Fine to be kissed, oh in the dark
We will find, baby baby baby what the rest, have left behind
Just let them dance, we're gonna find romance
Lord in the dark
TWISTED

My analyst told me
That I was right outta my head
The way he described it
He said I'd be better dead than 'live
I didn't listen, to his jive
'Cause I knew all along
He was all wrong
An' I knew that he thought
That I was crazy but I'm not oh no
My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
He said I need treatment
But I'm not that eas'ly led
He said, I was the type that was most inclined
When out of his sight to be out of my mind
And he thought I was nuts
No more ifs or ands or buts oh no
Oh they say as a child
I appeared a little bit wild
With all the crazy ideas
I knew what was happ'nin'
I knew I was a genius
What's so strange
If ya know that you're a wizard at three
I knew that this was meant for me
I heard little children were supposed to sleep tight
That's why I drank a fifth of bourbon one night
My parents got frantic didn' know what to do
I saw some crazy scenes before I came to now
Do you think I was crazy
I mighta been only three but hey
I was swingin'
They all laughed at A.Graham Bell
They all laughed at Edison and also at Einstein
So why should I feel sorry if they just
Couldn't understand the reasoning and the logic
That went on in my head
I had a brain it was insane so
She'd laugh and laugh at me when I refused to ride
In all those double-decker buses
All because there was no driver on the top
esa muchacha esta loca
My analyst told me
That I was right outta my head
The way 'e described it
He said I'd be better dead than 'live
I didn't listen, to his jive
'Cause I knew all along
He was all wrong
And I know that 'e thought
That I was crazy but I'm not, no
My analyst told me
That I was right outta my head
But I said dear doctor
I think it's you instead
'Cause I have got a thing that's unique and new
And it proves that I'll have the last laugh on you
'Cause instead of one head, oh-ho, I' got two
And you know two heads are better than one
It was great!

Did you say I've got a lot to learn
Well don't think, I'm trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Teach me, tonight
Starting with the A B C of it
Right down, to the X Y Z of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Teach me tonight
The sky is a blackboard high above me
If a shooting star goes by
We'll take that star and write I love you
A thousand times across the sky
One thing isn't, very clear my love
Oh should the teacher, stand so near my love
'Cause graduation's almost here my love
So teach
Teach me tonight
The sky is a blackboard, high above me
If a shooting star goes by
We'll take that star, and write I love you
A thousand times across, the sky
One thing isn't very clear my love
Oh should the teacher, stand so near my love
'Cause graduation's almost here my love
Teach me
Teach me tonight
Graduation, is almost here my love
Oh teach me
Teach
Me tonight
Teach, me tonight
SMALL DAY TOMORROW

I don't have to go to bed
I've got a small day tomorrow
Small day tomorrow
And I don't have to use my head
I've got a small day tomorrow
And I could sleep the day away
And it won't cause too much sorrow
No, not tomorrow
'Cause tonight this girl will play
She's got a small day tomorrow
Now all of you big wheels
With all of your big deals
You're gonna need your sleep
But I'm a drop out
And I would rather cop out
Than run with all the sheep
Honey child, tonight's the night
I've got a car I can borrow
Until tomorrow
And we can swing 'til broad daylight
'Cause we've got a small day tomorrow
Now all of you big wheels
With all of your big deals
You're gonna need your sleep
But I'm a drop out
And I would rather cop out
Than run with all the sheep
Honey child, tonight's the night
I've got a flat I can borrow
'Til the day after tomorrow
And we can swing way outta sight
'Cause we've got a big night
And a small day
Tomorrow
Oh baby we got a big night
Oh baby baby baby
We' got a big night, yeah
TELL HIM I SAID HELLO

When you see him
Tell him things are slow
There's a reason
And he's sure to know
But on second thought, forget it
Just tell him I say, hello
If he asks you
When I come and go
Say I stay home
'Cause I miss him so
But on second thought, forget it
Just tell him I say, hello
Look into his eyes
When you speak my name
Maybe there's a spark
To start another flame
Do I love him
Don't say yes, or no
If he should ask you
But he won't, I know
So on second thought, forget it
Oh just tell him I say, hello
Look into his eyes
When you speak my name
Maybe there's a spark
To start another flame
Do I love him
Don't say yes, or no
If he should ask you
But he won't, I know
'Cause it's all over, and forgotten
Just tell him I say
Hello
Hello
