[verse 1]
I almost forgot to say
That I love you today
Oh you laugh and say, it's all good, my dear
Those are the little things
that made me fall in love with you
Your humour and calm
And your joy, it's true
[chorus]
You bring out
the best in me
You and me,
we make a great team
[verse 2]
Oh darling I must confess
That I think you're the best
Your love makes me feel so blessed, from the start
There is just so much
I admire about your self
The way you handle things
Is inspiring and so very smart
[chorus]
[bridge]
Whatever life throws our way
We'll meet it head on
Any challenge can only pale
Against us, back-to-back, standing strong

Good to You

[verse 1]
I don't have the words
For how thankful I am
That darling you trust
Me to be your man
My life has been better
Since we've been two
So darling I just wanna be
Good to you
[verse 2]
To be the best for you
Is the star in my sky
I want to be
Someone you can rely
You're my inspiration
Indeed it's true
So darling I just wanna be
Good to you
[solo]
[verse 3]
I know words are cheap
And action is hard
So I'll do the deeds
According to my heart
I feel so happy
When you're happy too
So darling I just wanna be
Good to you [x3]

My Darling Looks Good

[verse 1]
Remember when we first met?
You told me, "I love your dress"
You asked where I bought it, do tell
So you could try there as well
I was quite impressed
Don't hear this often expressed
We talked long into the night
I found it way outta sight
[pre-chorus]
You don't need to tell me
that men's fashion sucks
I know, dear
All too well
Who made the call
That men are out of luck
That they can't look swell
That's just unfair
[chorus]
My darling
I want you to look good
I want you to be happy
'cos that makes me happy too
[verse 2]
That skirt suits you so fine
The bow looks pretty cute
Here, have a waistcoat of mine
You look swank and that's the truth
My, my, honey pie
If you could see your smile
My wardrobe meets your eye
You feel the joy of style
[pre-chorus]
You don't need to say
You want more colour in your book
Oh, darling,
I know the score
Everything you've ever
Wanted to say
It shines in your look
The bliss I live for
[chorus]
My darling
I want you to look good
I want you to be happy
'cos that makes me happy too

She's Such a Beauty

[verse 1]
Well I don't mean to brag but
I'm the luckiest on earth
She's so great,
In everything she comes first
When we're out together,
You can tell by the mirth
She's just golden,
You could say we're attached
She's got the perfect look
And the personality to match
She's giving me lessons
On how to borrow her flash
And I got a lot to learn, if you know what I mean
[chorus]
She's such a beauty
She's such a beauty
She's such a beauty
Oh yeah
(and I can't stay in tune for the life of me)
[verse 2]
She's so radiant,
Visible from Griffith Park
Yeah she sings so gorgeous,
Every little note is art
She puts me in ecstasy,
And that's just the start
When we're out in public,
I wanna show her off
She's a foxy hot dame and,
She chose me as her stud
I couldn't be prouder,
And you see it in my walk
(oh yeah you do)
I just want to announce to the world that...

Rock on Miss Vavoom, for Stephen one time

The Emerald Sea
05:03

[verse 1]
I know a place
Not far from here
On sunny days I catch a trace
Up on Franklin Canyon
Where the air is clear
A sweet companion
It's a lovely view
A state of mind
It can't be beat, how hard you try
It's dear to us two
The sweetest find
It's where we go when life makes us sigh
[pre-chorus]
From the neon lights
To the mountain heights
Nothing compares to nights
Spent by the shore
The gentle waves
The surfer raves
The food we ate
There's always time for more
[chorus]
That's where I want to be
You and me,
by the emerald sea
[verse 2]
What a sweet nocturne
Bathed in light of the moon
And cradling you in my arms
The sea so green
Shines so crystalline
And you smiling at my charms
The breeze in June
Hugs Topanga too
As we go on through this world
Could be anywhere soon
We see each other swoon
Everything fades to a joyful swirl
[pre-chorus]
From Palos Verdes
To San Clemente
And places trendy
We must've seen 'em all
But nothing compares
To losing your cares
By the restaurant stairs
And then in bed we fall
[chorus]
That's where I want to be
You and me,
by the emerald sea
[bridge]
Los Angeles is always there for us
Los Angeles knows how to care for us

on the island of wicky wacky
my true love ate the soda cracky
I love him and he loves me
such a big fat kumquat tree
singing wicky wacky wicky wacky woo
I'm his gal and he's my guy
my wicky wacky sweetie pie
wicky wacky wicky wacky woo (x2)
on the island of wicky wacky

Sunshine girl
Sitting on the moon
Sunshine girl
With a balloon
Sunshine girl
Seeing it with you
Sunshine girl
A lovely view
[verse 1]
The first time, I saw her
was so long ago
I can't say where we were
my memory's not like before
[pre-chorus]
All I know
She walked in
and changed my view
[chorus]
[verse 2]
Well I know, I'm lucky
Indeed I'm fortunate
To have her in my life
Got me out of a rut
[pre-chorus]
All I know
Knowing her
made me feel new
[chorus]
[bridge]
She dug out something in me
I didn't think was there
When the world's weight is on me
I remember being free of care
Sometimes it doesn't work
But all things considered
It doesn't hurt
[solo]
[chorus]

Lazy Summer Morning
07:31

|
[verse 1]
It's a lazy summer morning
The kind that feels just right
Cuddling with my darling
The time just flies right outta sight
Got my arms wrapped around you
And I feel so warm inside
I can see your lovely smile
As you open up your pretty eyes
Mr. Sun is kinda naughty
He's trying to peek right through our blinds
You hug me even closer to you
And I'm glad to respond in kind
I can hear your happy yawning
Your sweet moans speak louder than words
Softly kissing you at dawning
I'm glad to be your sweet lovebird
[chorus]
Oh, the two of us
Floating down this sea called life
No matter the weather
Together we'll rise above the strife
[verse 2]
Your nose is funny when I poke it
It makes you giggle so sweetly
You kiss my cheeks and tickle me
We both laugh so discreetly
One of us might have to go first
And get out of our lazy bed
But darling I know it won't be you
And it sure won't be me, I said
You're looking out the window
See the leaves brush on the tree
You oughta give that tree some tips, honey
The way you gave me a beauty routine
We have ourselves a kissing contest
The one who kisses the most will win
I ask what's the prize and you say,
"The right to make breakfast", with a grin
[chorus]
[bridge]
Why can't it be like this all the time
I just don't know
Why must we endure life's river of slime
But with you I'll go
And if one of us should trip and fall
We'll pick each other up and climb
[verse 3]
Having tea with our breakfast
I look and see that it's all fine
You smile the way I'm smiling
and say darling what's on your mind?
Just look at us, it's marvelous
All those years, our love is sunny skies
We might not have the same young figures
But we still have the look in our eyes
We both knew going in this
A honeymoon can last a life
All it takes is mutual effort
Trust and talking, clear and bright
I don't mind growing older
Ageing is just a fact of life
We're partners for the long haul
And so we'll stay with all our might
Your smile just grows so brighter
Your eyes flicker with delight
You grab my hand and you say gladly
Let's treat each other tonight

Wonderfully Yourself
04:28
|

|
[verse 1]
You know the first time that I saw you
Still feels like a flash
We were nowhere near a swimming pool
But you sure could make a splash
Out of everyone that was around
You took notice of me
You picked me out of the crowd
And lucky is how I feel
I tried to make quip but made no scene
Said sorry I didn't pull through
You smiled and said, "Honey, you seem
Like you were left out in school"
"The other kids would laugh at you
And you had no one to call a friend"
I said "That's exactly right,
You hit the nail on the head"
[chorus]
You're so wonderfully yourself
You're so wonderfully yourself
You're so wonderfully yourself
And I love the way you make me love myself
[verse 2]
You know that you're so cool and friendly
And you go and get it right away
You jump right in, no overthinking
Like life's just there to play
You make it all look effortless
Like it just comes naturally
You say the world is just our oyster
And that's as it should be
You're a ball of fun and smiles
And it all comes from your heart
We hold ourselves through the bad times
'til we get that brand new start
There's not a day that goes by
Without me learning from you
I love how you encourage me to try
And I see you love it too
[chorus]
[bridge]
When I lose my nerve
And worry I'm out of line
You remind me not to worry
With a laugh you say it's fine
"Darling you gotta tell the world
To shut up with grace and style"
Well I'm learning from the best
On facing challenge with a smile
[solo]
[chorus]

A sunny Sunday in Silver Lake
Try to think what we'll do today
Let's go up to Griffith Park
Take the Metro, with the F mark
Should we zoo, or is it too far?
Let's take the trails to the reservoir
We can walk down Cahuenga way
There's no shows at the Bowl today
[chorus]
Carefree and carfree in Los Angeles [x3]
Let's hit the beach, it's in Metro range
Ride from the Bowl, at Vineyard we change
Is Venice busy? Naturally true
The Ocean Front Walk, holding hands with you
Palm trees high, weather's great
Trading kisses, in a blissful state
I hear at Breakwater, the tide is high
Catch a wave, to the Pier you'll fly
[chorus]
After a swim, it's time for a bike
The Marvin Braude trail, is outta sight
Ballona Creek, Playa del Rey
Dockweiler Beach, well okay
Ditch the bike for the metro we will
We'll change at Expo, and Bunker Hill
Chill at Grand Park, don't mind if we do
Buy our food, eat by the fountain too
[chorus]
Time to get back, I wonder how
If we go on foot, that'll take an hour
You take my hand, say it suits me just fine
Another hour with you, darling that's the life

Your New Perfume

Your new perfume
Your new red dress
Your peekaboo
Drive me wild
Your gentle ways
Your saucy mouth
Your sexy walk
Turn me on
Your point of view
Your cheerfulness
Your steadfast strength
Keep me sane
You understand
Like no one can
You see in me
What's deep within
Your caring ways
Your tenderness
Your love for me
Are the best
Looking at you
I feel lucky
You're just the best
And I love you

Life Well Lived
10:10

I don't have a clue
What the meaning of life could be
The only thing to do
Is whatever makes me happy
I don't have a clue
What the meaning of life could be
All I know is true
Is whatever makes us happy
[chorus]
Yeah
All we want is just a life well lived
(Look who came in to town,
Wearing a splashy gown,
Little me, Lolly Vavoom!
When I belt out a tune,
Makes most every man swoon,
That's permissible,
Little me, Lolly Vavoom!)
I remember in school
I was asked what do you want to be
Didn't know no rules
So I just said happy
Fun is the only thing
Worth being serious about
Joy is the best to bring
That's what I seek out in a spark
[chorus]
(Life is the only thing
Where you only get one chance
You gotta find your happiness
Regardless of circumstance)
(Oyasumi. Mata ne!)
