The wintertime is coming, the frost is on the ground
the chilly wind has blown the leaves around
it’s time to stoke the fire sit in the candlelight
make it through an empty endless night
And I’d better bundle up cause it’s gonna be cold outside
Better grab my hat, so I can keep my head in the weather
cause it’s gonna be cold outside, yes, it’s gonna be cold outside
the world it whirls around my vertigo kicks in
I find that I am looking at my sins
I slowly turn my head and try to find the door
then realize that I’ve been here before
And I’d better bundle up cause it’s gonna be cold outside
Better grab my hat, so I can keep my head in the weather
cause it’s gonna be cold outside, yes, it’s gonna be cold outside
The years keep flying faster my hair is turning gray
I find there is a lot I have to say
my body may be brittle but my spirit’s staying strong
I’ll keep on moving, moving right along
And I’d better bundle up cause it’s gonna be cold outside
Better grab my hat, so I can keep my head in the weather
cause it’s gonna be cold outside, yes, it’s gonna be cold outside

Let The Rain Come
03:45
|
|||
Let the rain come, I’ve got my umbrella
Let the rain come, I’m here with my fella
I’ve always got a song in my heart
Let the rain come
I’m not saying that life can’t get a little tough now and then
I’m just saying that there’s always something better ‘round the bend
Let the rain come, I’ve got my umbrella
Let the rain come, I’m here with my fella
I’ve always got a song in my heart
Let the rain come
I’ve been looking at the storm clouds growing and the rain start to pour
Now I’m looking for a rainbow, when I walk out the door
Let the rain come, I’ve got my umbrella
Let the rain come, I’m here with my fella
I’ve always got a song in my heart
Let the rain come
I’ve been hearing the thunder rumble and the wind start to blow
Now I’m hearing the sound of music everywhere I go
Let the rain come, I’ve got my umbrella
Let the rain come, I’m here with my fella
I’ve always got a song in my heart
Let the rain come
Oh, let the rain pour down on me
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Oh, let the rain pour right down on me
Let it rain, let it rain,
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain

I remember the night that we danced to Black Velvet
A song that I’d not heard before
And we watched the moon rise looking out your back window
Then we danced just a little bit more
Black Velvet, Black Velvet you go down so smooth
and the song that I’m hearing reminds me of you
But the dancing, it wasn’t enough
when the going got tough, we stopped trying
forgot all our moves, couldn’t get in the groove
And the song kept on playing without us
Black Velvet, Black Velvet you go down so smooth
and the song that I’m hearing reminds me of you
So, we danced for a while ‘til we started to stumble
both lost our footing, and fell, but I’ve
still got that song, and I’ve still got the liquor
and a story that’s too sad to tell
Black Velvet, Black Velvet you go down so smooth
and the song that I’m hearing reminds me of you
Yes, the song that I’m hearing reminds me of you

Hot Coffee In Bed
03:29
|
|||
I’ve got some hot coffee in bed
My baby brought it to me to clear my head
I’ve got some big plans for the day
I really should be going, but he wants me to stay
I’ve got to put my two feet down on the ground
It’s hard to get moving when he’s around
So first my hot coffee, hot coffee in bed
I’ll grab my car keys in my hand
Put the pedal to the metal, see where I land
I’ve got some high flying to do
I’m looking for adventure, want to try something new
I’ve got to put my two feet down on the ground
It’s hard to get moving when he’s around
So first my hot coffee, hot coffee in bed
I like o.j., I like tea, but I can have those later
My first thought when I wake up is ooh, where’s my percolator
I like o.j., I like tea, but I can have those later
My first thought when I wake up is ooh, where’s my percolator
I’ve got that hot coffee in bed
hot coffee, hot, hot coffee
got that hot coffee in bed
hot, hot coffee, hot, hot coffee

In Winter
04:28
|
|||
In winter, the moon is on the river
Reflecting those promises once made
In winter, my body starts to shiver
The North Wind takes my breath away
And I’m thinking about tonight, what the future will bring
I’m trying to plan and scheme, think about everything
I’m thinking about tonight, I’ll be there with you
In the soft glow of firelight and dreams
In winter, there’s stars too dense to number
Homeward, Orion leads the way
In winter, I snuggle down to slumber
Starting to sleep my life away
Then I’m thinking about tonight, what the future will bring
I’m trying to plan and scheme, think about everything
I’m thinking about tonight, I’ll be there with you
In the soft glow of firelight and dreams
In winter, flurries past my window
Leaving snow along the road
In winter, I skate into tomorrow
Dropping my sometimes heavy load
And I’m thinking about tonight, what the future will bring
I’m trying to plan and scheme, think about everything
I’m thinking about tonight, I’ll be there with you
In the soft glow of firelight and dreams
In winter

Finest Man
03:31
|
|||
I went down to the corner looking for some fun
I went down to the corner looking for some fun
When I saw you there, honey I was all undone
You came up and asked me, would I go for a ride
Yes, you came up and asked me, would I go for a ride
Next thing I knew, I was sitting right by your side
I don’t know what you did
I don’t know what you said
I looked in your eyes, and I was out of my head
Oh baby, do you know what I mean
You’re the finest man that I’ve ever seen
I don’t know what you did
I don’t know what you said
I looked in your eyes, and I was out of my head
Oh baby, do you know what I mean
You’re the finest man that I’ve ever seen
You came up from behind and swept me off my feet
Yes, you came up from behind and swept me off my feet
And when you lay me down, honey it was oh so sweet
I don’t know what you did
I don’t know what you said
I looked in your eyes, and I was out of my head
Oh baby, do you know what I mean
You’re the finest man that I’ve ever seen

Lonely Chair
03:14
|
|||
Sometimes you travel here and there, no matter where you’ve been
Every time you go away, you come back home again
I pull my old recliner closer to the fire
And lean back in the arms of that old lonely chair
When you’re not there, I don’t want to be anywhere but
Cradled in the arms of that old lonely chair
Don’t want to go to bed at night, freezing and alone
To wake up every hour, reach for you and moan
So, I pull my old recliner closer to the fire
And lean back in the arms of my lonely chair
When you’re not there, I don’t want to be anywhere
But cradled in the arms of that old lonely chair
I know you have to go away, go out and do your thing
and I know you love me darling, more than anything
I’m good at keeping busy, while I’m missing you
Then nighttime comes and darkness falls, and I feel blue
Now, when your journey’s ended, and you come back home to me
Walk into the living room, ‘cause that is where I’ll be
I pulled my old recliner closer to the fire
And leaned back in the arms of my lonely chair
When you’re not there, I don’t want to be anywhere
But cradled in the arms of that old lonely chair
When you’re not there, I don’t want to be anywhere
But cradled in the arms of that old lonely chair
Yes, I’ll be sleeping in the arms of that old lonely chair

The Raindrop Song
02:58
|
|||
It’s raining, it’s pouring, the old man is snoring
He bumped his head when he went to bed and didn’t get up in the morning
Oh dear, what do I hear? The rain is falling everywhere.
Oh my, look at the sky I just got a raindrop in my eye
It’s raining, it’s pouring, the old man is snoring
Listen to that melody of raindrops on the ground
Dee deedly drip drop drip drop drip drip drop
Dee deedly drip drop drip drop, oh
Listen to that melody of raindrops on the ground
I know it makes the gardens grow and the flowers smell so sweet
And I like to listen to that syncopated beat
Dee deedly drip drop drip drop drip drip drop
Dee deedly drip drop drip drop, oh
Listen to that melody of raindrops on the ground
I know it makes the gardens grow and the flowers smell so sweet
And I like to listen to that syncopated beat
Dee deedly drip drop drip drop drip drip drop
Dee deedly drip drop drip drop, oh
Listen to that melody of raindrops on the ground
Rain, rain go away come again another day
Everybody wants to play so won’t you go away
Ho hum, where’s the sun? I want to go outside for fun
Hey, hey what do you say I really don’t mind a rainy day
It’s raining, it’s pouring, the old man is snoring
Listen to that melody of raindrops on the ground
Dee deedly drip drop drip drop drip drip drop
Dee deedly drip drop drip drop, oh
Listen to that melody of raindrops on the ground
I said listen to that melody of raindrops on the ground

Lullaby
03:30
|
|||
Lullaby, twilight is fading, time to close your eyes
Dream away through worlds of splendor, watching the full moon rise
Sail away to lands unknown, stars will show the way
Wake up in the morning to a brand a new day
Lullaby, lullaby
Close your eyes and rest while I sing this lullaby
When you wake, the world will be waiting, you can look around
But for now, lay down your head, and listen to the sounds
Sail away to lands unknown, stars will show the way
Wake up in the morning to a brand a new day
Lullaby, lullaby
Close your eyes and rest while I sing this lullaby, lullaby
Close your eyes and rest
Close your eyes and rest
Close your eyes and rest while I sing

All Is Well
04:27
|

When it’s midnight and the stars are brightly shining
The moon is new and can’t be found
Coyotes sing their song out in the forest
You know I love to listen to that sound
I really love to listen to that sound
When the frost has left a pattern on my window
The snow has left a blanket on the ground
I feel the muffled sound of my love snoring
You know I love to listen to that sound
I really love to listen to that sound
In the nighttime, in the nighttime all is well
In the nighttime, in the nighttime all is well
Sometimes I forget to be grateful
Sometimes I forget the golden rule
Sometimes life can be full of surprises, even cruel
When the fragrance of the summer makes my head spin
And fireflies are twinkling all around
I can hear the crickets tapping out their rhythm
You know I love to listen to that sound
I really love to listen to that sound
In the nighttime, in the nighttime all is well
In the nighttime, in the nighttime all is well

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ahh
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ahh
Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly, someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ahh
