You don’t need to believe everything you’re told You’ll find everything inside if you let it unfold You can feel it in your heart Feel it in your heart We are born with a love we don’t have to lose When you know something is right you don’t have to choose You just feel it in your heart Feel it in your heart You can feel it in your heart Feel it in your heart There are many different paths to the heavens above But I agree with the Beatles What you need is love In your heart You just feel it in your heart Feel it in your heart

A bright red mailbox A gentle white glaze Each flake drops And takes its place My niece sent a letter on Valentine’s Day It’s snowing in heaven today Angelo serves breakfast His coffee is hot The mailman discusses The gloves he bought In Hungary, or Germany, or three miles away It’s snowing in heaven today The sky is an ocean Of open white space That settles on branches And touches my face In the silence, an old man is smiling away It’s snowing in heaven today

The rain is fallin’ from a big black cloud Springtime is comin’ round the bend And in the warm air that’s approaching no more troubles are allowed I think it’s time we went outside again Don’t you bother thinking anything that’s gonna make you sad Don’t you worry what the future might send This spring will show us once again where to find what we once had I think it’s time we went outside again Oh let’s not think of any reasons Let’s not follow any plans Let’s just run outside and play like we were only ten It’s time to make it easy It’s time we had some fun I think it’s time we went outside again Spring’s comin’ Let’s go outside If it’s rainin’ We’ll take a ride Can’t beat it So much to do I’m goin’ You should come too The sun is shinin’ from a big blue sky Winter’s finally comin’ to an end And if we’re stayin’ stuck inside I truly don’t know why ‘Cause I think it’s time we went outside again So let’s not think of any reasons Let’s not follow any plans Let’s just say we’ve got some outdoor time we’ve gotta spend It’s time to make it easy It’s time we had some fun I think it’s time we went outside again I think we better go outside again I think it’s time we went outside again

What ever happened that could make me feel like this? How does devotion ever turn to bitterness? What did I want that makes me feel so sad now? How does a good thing ever turn this bad now? I thought I knew you I thought you knew me too I thought for sure your love for me was real Broke my heart to see the way you really feel What did I want that makes me feel so sad now? How does a good thing ever turn this bad now? I thought I knew you I thought you knew me too But when you see the lies And open up your eyes It’s time to realize That there’s a world of difference in between What is and what you want it to be Between what is and what you believe it to be Between what is and what appears to be I thought you were the one To take away my loneliness and save me from the hurt I defended you to everyone I told them you were kind while you treated me like dirt When all is said and done I know that it’s true You took only what I gave to you I didn’t know That I could give away too much But when you see the lies And open up your eyes It’s time to realize That there’s a world of difference in between What is and what you want it to be Between what is and what you believe it to be Between what is and what appears to be

How do you know who to trust? Who do you listen to? When you can’t tell gold from rust Who do you listen to? When you don’t know where to start Who do you listen to? When you take so much to heart Who do you listen to? The guy on the radio used to influence me a lot I’d sit and let him fill my head with all the things that I was not He’d say it was horrible outside, the guy on the radio I’d look out my window and see beautiful, beautiful snow The teachers in all my schools used to influence me a lot I’d sit and let them fill my head with all the things that I was not They said I was a very good boy I trusted what I heard So when they told me not to talk I didn’t say a word So who do you listen to? Who do you listen to?

I used to brag that I would never plan my day Then I’d get hit by every storm that came our way These days I’m smarter though And that is all because Before I budge an inch now I do what my sweetie does She checks the weather Two three four five times a day It’s always better When we know what they have to say About the weather It’s a strange world full of doubt But when we know what’s comin’ It can all work out I can’t predict every eventuality Some things still happen that I clearly did not see But overall I’m so much calmer than I was Cause when I start to worry I do what my sweetie does She checks the weather Two three four five times a day It’s always better When we know what they have to say About the weather It’s a strange world full of doubt But when we know what’s comin’ It can all work out

I Love Her 04:00
Shiver me timbers and farewell to peace Not one lousy book prepared me for this I love her Late at night we walk around Love is a lake, a lake we’ve found A cool wind is blowing through the trees We let ourselves out and she knows me Where does that come from? How does she know? How does she know? Well throw out my fears and tear up the lease Take out the garbage and call the police I love her

Hey Annie 04:00
Look at Annie walk her walk Look at Annie talk her talk She’s stronger now And it’s so good to see her smile that way Wasn’t long, we were so afraid But it’s over now, like a debt we paid And I don’t think our lives should be so sad And you helped change my mind ‘Cause you hang on to hope, even if hope should wonder And now it’s strength that I find ‘Cause now I’ve seen your love Hey Annie take your time, you’ll get past that sorrow No matter how it seems Cause when I said goodbye to our bright tomorrows I was only wavin’ in my dreams Almost quit about a hundred times So many days I couldn’t raise my eyes Life was hard Living an effort I had to make But patience comes to those who wait First you worry and you hesitate First you worry, and then you understand And you helped change my mind ‘Cause you hang on to hope, even if hope should wonder And now it’s strength that I find ‘Cause now I’ve seen your love Love for the freedom you have today And the courage to live that way We are new We are learning Love for the pain you had to feel For the changes that made you real You’re not the way you were Hey Annie take your time, you’ll get past that sorrow No matter how it seems Cause when I said goodbye to our bright tomorrows I was only wavin’ in my dreams

About You 04:16
I had a dream when I was young And the dream was about you And in my dream I had to wait And you told me not to doubt you And I waited so long My heart turned the dream I had into a song And the song that’s in my heart Is about you The morning sky was full of clouds The day I finally found you The only light that I could see Was the light all around you And I stared for so long My eyes turned the light around you into a song And the song that’s in my eyes Is about you And every time you see the light in my eyes It’s a part of the song that I’m singing About you About you Now every place within my mind Is full of thoughts about you The only time I ever count Is the time I spend without you And our hearts are so wild Our love turned every dream we had into a child And the song that’s in their hearts Is about you And every time you hear our children laugh It’s a part of the song that they’re singing And every time you see the light in their eyes It’s a part of a secret they’re sharing About you About you About you

I wish that I was happy I wish that I was rich I wish I had a body that looked great without a stitch I wish I had a brain that didn’t have a single glitch I wish I had a plan I could pull off without a hitch I wish I knew somebody whose life I could enrich I wish I was equanimous but all I do is bitch In the doctor category, I think I need a witch I told this to my guru, my guru’s name is Mitch I told this to my guru, whose cellmate is a snitch He said that’s quite a list but there’s so much you’ll have to ditch Even your own dog is content with just a scritch You don’t have to scratch every damn itch I wish I could play ball but I can’t hit a single pitch I wish that I could knit but I can’t even drop a stitch I wish I was a dancer but all I do is twitch I wish I was an artist but all I make is kitsch I wish I was a builder but I can’t even dig a ditch I wish I was a wizard but I don’t understand quidditch I wish that I was smarter but you can’t just flip a switch I said this to my guru, who caters to the rich I said this to my guru, whose girlfriend knows a witch He said I understand your problem, and that was quite a pitch It’s OK to be ambitious, but scale it back a titch Because you don’t have to scratch every damn itch

One day I’ll find my place in this world One day, one day And when I find my place in this world That’ll be one fine day This world is full of trouble Everything I hear There’s bad news every hour, all day long This world is full of trouble Everything I fear Sometimes it looks like everything’s gone wrong One day I’ll find my place in this world One day, one day And when I find my place in this world That’ll be one fine day This world is full of kindness Everywhere I go It’s not like what you read about online This world is full of kindness Everyone I know I meet such nice people all the time One day I’ll find my place in this world One day, one day And when I find my place in this world That’ll be one fine day One day I’ll find my place in this world One day, one day And when I find my place in this world That’ll be one fine day One fine day

East Sky 03:16
The east sky was already dark The west was a gentle blue Two little girls on the corner talk To me, this is something new Where was I going in the back of my mind? What was I rushing to? The east sky was already dark And the west was a gentle blue
