Shine

Today was delight, you left nothing to chance
You shone so brightly, you were sheer brilliance
I can’t help but stare, you’re such a pretty young thing
If I could, I’d give you the moon on a string
Shine, your brilliance, shine
Shine, your brilliance, shine over me
From where I stood, I watched you dance
A smile on your face, you are such brilliance
So, now and then, I’d catch your eye
You look so beautiful that I almost cried
Shine, your brilliance, shine
Shine, your brilliance, shine over me
You don’t have to try, you give more than enough
You’re so much more than I could ever dream up
Shine, your brilliance, shine
Shine, your brilliance, shine over me

In New York
03:10
|

Lately I’ve been suffering the same recurring dream
Where New York steals my baby back from me
And I’m so tired, that I know I can’t compete
With all the places that she’ll go and all the people that she’ll meet
In New York
Now, in that dream, it seems, she’d rather be there
On New Year’s Eve, with strangers in Times Square
Or hanging out on Broadway, taking in a show or two
Doing all the things, that a single girl should do
In New York
Now in the morning when I escape that wretched dream
I check in the mirror, and all I see is me
I’m no movie star and I won’t be on TV
So now I’m awake and wondering if she’d really rather be
In New York

Will three birds on a wire, grant your heart’s desire
Would you waste a wish on me
Will the first star tonight, make everything alright
Would you waste a wish on me
Will a crescent birthday moon, send you a love so true
Would you waste a wish on me
And if you touch something blue, will it make your dreams come true
Would you waste a wish on me
Take your time at the well
Best keep your thoughts to yourself
Close your eyes, take a deep breath
Make your wish, without regret
Will that falling star, fix your broken heart
Would you waste a wish on me
With all the things you do, I hope that one works out for you
When you waste a wish on me
Use your coins sparingly
Best target a midsummer’s eve
Close your eyes, take a deep breath
Make your wish, without regret
Will that falling star, fix your broken heart
Would you waste a wish on me
With all the things you do, I hope that one works out for you
When you waste a wish on me

The Opposite of Doubt
03:21

What’s the opposite of doubt
We should try and work that out
Is it something like the truth
Is it just an even keel
Is it trying to keep it real
Or is it something more aloof
Is it knowing that it’s fine
Taking one day at a time
I’m sure we’ll be ok
If we make it through another day
Do you know what it is
Is it you and me and this
Is it love and other things
Is it you and me and us
Is it trust, is it trust
Or is it just what the day brings
Is it knowing that it’s fine
Taking one day at a time
I’m sure we’ll be ok
If we make it through another day
What’s the opposite of doubt
I’m certain we’ll work out
One day what it means
And when that day arrives
I’ll be right there by your side
And we’ll have everything we need
Is it knowing that it’s fine
Taking one day at a time
I’m sure we’ll be ok
If we make it through another day

Dance to Tom Waits
03:43

I think we’ll be okay
If I can take you in my arms and sway
I think we’ll be alright
If I can hold you tonight
If it’s not too late, when we get home, can we dance to Tom Waits?
I think we’ll be just fine
If we can waltz to closing time
I know we’ll find a way
If we could just embrace
If it’s not too late, when we get home, can we dance to Tom Waits?
You know, I can’t wait, to get you alone and dance to Tom Waits
Now, now, I have to say
I don’t groove so well anyway
But gather me in your arms
And I’ll dance (with you) where ever we are
If it’s not too late, when we get home, can we dance to Tom Waits?
You know, I can’t wait, to get you alone and dance to Tom Waits
I think we’ll be okay
If I can take you in my arms and sway
I think we’ll be alright
If I can hold you tonight
It won’t be too late, when we get home, we can dance to Tom Waits

Beautiful to Me
04:09
|

|
Every morning when I wake by your side
The question arises, how lucky am I?
There are days when you don’t feel your best
And you try to convince me, your hair is a mess
Well, I disagree, you’re beautiful to me
I disagree, you’re beautiful to me
At the end of a long working day
You’re tired and you’re worn out and you’re just a little frayed
Working all the hours, wishing you had more
You try to persuade me, you look older than before
Well, I disagree, you’re beautiful to me
I disagree, you’re beautiful to me
When that liar of a mirror catches your eye
Don’t you listen, when it seeks to criticise
It doesn’t see what I see, you’re beautiful to me
Well, I disagree, you’re beautiful to me
I disagree, you’re beautiful to me
Dressing for the day and you’re struggling to choose
That’s ok, because I will wait for you
A closet full of clothes and you’ve nothing to wear
And you insinuate, that time has been unfair
Well, I disagree, you’re beautiful to me
I disagree, you’re beautiful to me
When that liar of a mirror catches your eye
Don’t you listen, when it seeks to criticise
It doesn’t see what I see, you’re beautiful to me
It doesn’t see what I see, you’re beautiful to me
It doesn’t see what I see, you’re beautiful to me
It doesn’t see at all, that you are beautiful

Don't be in a Hurry
02:59

It’s likely that you’ll be my last
So, please don’t grow up too fast
Do me a favour, son
Don’t be in a hurry to run
Take all the time now that you need for sleep
We’ll comfort you whenever you weep
Do me a favour, son
Don’t be in a hurry to run
Don’t be in a hurry to run, son
There’s no rush, you’re not racing anyone
Go on, ride your scooter for as long as you want
Play in your mud kitchen or build with your blocks
Do me a favour, son
Don’t be in a hurry to run
Play with those dolls or your matchbox cars
Your ukulele or that old blue guitar
Do me a favour, son
Don’t be in a hurry to run
Don’t be in a hurry to run, son
There’s no rush, you’re not racing anyone
Well, time ticks away, faster than you think
You’re growing so fast that I dare not blink
Do me a favour, son
Don’t be in a hurry to run, don’t be in a hurry to run
Don’t be in a hurry to run, don’t be in a hurry to run

With which beat of my heart
Did the feeling start?
How was it to know
I would love you so?
With which blink of my eye
Did it realise?
How was it to see
You were meant for me?
In which dream of mine
Would I have fantasised?
Myself falling for you
And you falling too
With which song did you sing
Did you become my everything
With which song did you sing
Did you become my everything
With which breath in my lungs
Did I know you were the one?
Was it one you took away?
I couldn’t say
With which song did you sing
Did you become my everything
With which song did you sing
Did you become my everything
With which song did you sing
Did you become my everything
With which song did you sing
Did you become my everything

1000 Days
03:10

I’ve loved you now for a thousand days
Count them up, and you might calculate
I think I loved you when we first kissed
A thousand days ago and every day since, every day since
Love has deepened now, a thousand times
For reasons, hard to define
And no matter what the currency
I couldn’t measure out what you mean, what you mean to me
What you mean, what you mean to me
A thousand days and the nights in between
Birthdays, valentines and Halloween
A thousand days, just isn’t enough, for this love
And you know it remains a mystery
How it is you wound up with me
What did I do, what did I say
To get you to love me, all of these days, all of these days
For a thousand days, every single day
A thousand days, the plain and the wild
Road trips and tall ships, a beautiful child
Summers and winters, the warm, wet and cold
All of those nights, just to have you to hold
A thousand days, just isn’t enough, for this love
For this love

I Do

Some say love is an old fashioned thing
Like the stars in the night sky or a diamond ring
But I know that’s just not true
Love’s in fashion and I love you
I do
Some say love has seen better days
I know that’s just not the case
Under storm clouds or skies of blue
I plan to spend every day with you
I do
Today’s the day we say the words
That we wrote and that we want heard
(and) With all my heart I will say to you
I will, I most certainly do
I do
