When you move in right up close to me
Thats when I get the shakes all over me
Shivers down my backbone
I get the shakes in the thighbone
Shivers in my knee bone
Shakin all over

Just the way you say goodnight to me
Theres a feeling on the side of me
Shivers down my backbone
I got the shakes in my thighbone
Shivers in my kneebone
Shakin all over

Just the way you say goodnight to me
Brings a feeling Im inside of me
Shivers down my backbone
Ive got the shakes in my thighbone
Oh shivers in my knee bone
Im shakin all over
Im shakin all over
Im shakin all over

When youre moving right up close to me
Thats when I get the shivers all over me
Just the way you say goodnight to me
Brings a feeling outside of me
Im shakin all over
Im shakin all over
Im shakin all over

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write I love you
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Crowded street, busy feet, hustle by him
Downtown shoppers, christmas is nigh
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
Hoping that you won’t pass him by
Should you stop? better not, much too busy
You’re in a hurry, my how time does fly
In the distance the ringing of laughter
And in the midst of the laughter he cries
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write I love you
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

I see the sunlight in her hair,
I feel the warm smile that she wears,
She had new recipe for love,
And I just can't get enough.

From the distance of my mind,
The clock that ringing
Said it's time,
To wake up to me destiny,
It's time to face reality.

It's only love, that I feel inside,
But I'll get by somehow,
It's only love,
There must be something else for me girl.

I tell myself that it's not real,
There's nothing left for me to feel,
I'll just be going on my way,
Tomorrow brings another day.

It's only love, that I feel inside,
But I've got to be strong,
my mind hanging on,
It's only love, but I know I'll get by,
I'll take my heart and my pride,
And just throw it aside,
It's only love,
it's only love,
it's only love.

I pictured a rainbow
You held in your hands
I had flashes
But you saw then plan
I wondered out in the world for years
While you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon!
The whole of the moon!

You were there at the turnstiles
With the wind at your heels
You stretched for the stars
And you know how it feels
To reach too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon!

I was grounded
While you filled the skies
I was dumbfounded by truths
You cut through lies
I saw the rain-dirty valley
You saw brigadoon
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon!

I spoke about wings
You just flew
I wondered, I guessed, and I tried
You just knew
I sighed
But you swooned
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon!
The whole of the moon!

With a torch in your pocket
And the wind at your heels
You climbed on the ladder
And you know how it feels
To reach too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon!
The whole of the moon!

Just like the driftwood of a dream,
Left on the seashore of sleep.
Just like the words that wouldn't rhyme,
Lost in the desert of time.
Time waits for no one at all,
No, not even you.
You thought you'd seen it all before,
You really thought you knew.

I don't remember what was said,
In the confusion that night.
I only know what's on my mind,
What's in the future we will decide.
Time waits for no one at all,
No, not even you.
You thought you'd seen it all before,
You really thought you knew.

I've shattered the illusion, Here I am,
Of fortune and of fame. Staring out to sea.
But darling now I know you, Wondering if you'll
Life can never be the same. Ever come back to me.
Oh no, don't leave me driftwood,
On the shore.

Time waits for no one my love,
No, not even you.
You thought you'd seen it all before,
You really thought you knew.

I've shattered the illusion, Here I am,
Of fortune and of fame. Staring out to sea.
I'm waking up, I'm reaching up, Waking up, reaching up,
I'm getting up from this game. Come back to me.
Oh no, don't leave me driftwood,
On the shore.
Oh, no don't, don't leave me driftwood,
On the shore.
Whoa, no, don't leave me driftwood,
On the shore.

This takes me back a few years lol

It must have broke your poor little heart
When the boys used to say,
You looked better in the dark.
Ohhh but now they'd give all they learned in school
To be somewhere in the dark with you
Oh yes they would

You know the teacher would ask a question
And you, would always raise your hand
Ohhh but somehow you never got your turn
And my eyes would fill with water, inside I'd burn
Oh yes I did
(Chorus)
Homely girl, She was so homely
You're a beautiful woman oh yes homely girl
Homely girl, used to being lonely
You're a beautiful woman oh yeah

There was a boy who used to sit beside you
Who'd like to hold that place his whole life through
Ohhh you were beautiful to me
You had a heart no one could ever see,
oh yes you did

I was the only one who offered
To carry your books
Took all the stares and laughter
With the dirty looks
But I saw then what they see now
They all want to ask you for a date
They don't know how, they don't know how

Homely girl, she was so homely
You're a beautiful woman oh yes lonely girl
Homely girl used to being lonely
You're a beautiful woman oh yeah

Ohhh first they want a chance to hold you
Then they want a chance to try to control you
Oh no, now don't you know I got to say it
Homely Girl used to being Lonely…..

Still listening and singing Lol

When the rain came I thought you’d leave
cause I knew how much you loved the sun
But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm
Through the darkest nights I’ve ever known
If the mandolin wind couldn’t change a thing
Then I know I love ya

Oh the snow fell without a break
Buffalo died in the frozen fields you know
Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years
I couldn’t believe you kept a smile
Now I can rest assured knowing that we’ve seen the worst
And I know I love ya

Oh I never was good with romantic words
So the next few lines come really hard
Don’t have much but what I’ve got is yours
Except of course my steel guitar
Ha, cause I know you don’t play
But Ill teach you one day
Because I love ya

I recall the night we knelt and prayed
Noticing your face was thin and pale
I found it hard to hide my tears
I felt ashamed I felt Id let you down
No mandolin wind couldn’t change a thing
Couldn’t change a thing no, no

The coldest winter in almost fourteen years
Could never, never change your mind again

And I love ya
Yes indeed, and I love ya
And I love ya, I love ya

Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb ?
Mother do you think they'll like this song ?
Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls ?
Ooooh, mother should I build a wall ?
Mother should I run for president ?
Mother should I trust the government ?
Mother will they put me in the firing line ?
Oooh is it just a waste of time ?

Hush now baby, baby don't you cry.
Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true.
Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you.

She won't let you fly but she might let you sing.
Mama will keep baby cosy and warm.

Oooh,

Hush now baby, baby don't you cry.
Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you.

Mama's gonna wait up untill you get in.
Mama will always find out where you've been.
Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean.
Ooooh Babe,
Ooooh Babe,
Ooooh Babe,
You'll always be a baby to me !

Mother, did it need to be so high ?

"Look What They've Done To My Song, Ma"

(As recorded by Melanie)
MELANIE SAFKA

Look what they've done to my song, ma
Look what they've done to my song
Well it's the only thing that I could do half right
And it's turning out all wrong, ma
Look what they've done to my song.

Look what they've done to my brain, ma
Look what they've done to my brain
Well they picked it like a chicken bone
And I think I'm half insane, ma
Look what they've done to my song.

I wish I could find a good book to live in
Wish I could find a good book
Will if I cold find a real good book
I'd never have to come out and look
Look what they've done to my song.

It'll be all right ma, maybe it'll be okay
Well if the people are buying tears I'll be rich someday, ma
Look what they've done to my song.

Ils ont change ma chanson ma
Ils ont change ma chanson
C'est la seule chose que je peuz faire
Et ce n'est pas bon ma
Ils ont change ma chanson.

Look what they've done to my song, ma
Look what they've done to my song
Well they tied it up in a plastic bag and they turned it upside down
Look what they've done to my song, ma.

Look what they've done to my song, ma
Look what they've done to my song
It's the only thing I could do all right and they turned it upside down
Look what they've done to my song, ma.

TITLE: I've Got a Brand New Pair of Roller Skates (You've Got a Brand New Key)
Lyrics and Chords


I rode my bicycle past your window last night
I roller skated to your door at daylight
It almost seems like you're avoiding me
I'm OK alone but you've got something I need, well



{Refrain}
I've got a brand new pair of roller skates
You've got a brand new key
I think that we should get together and
Try them on to see
I been lookin' around awhile
You got something for me
Oh, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key



I ride my bike, I roller skate, don't drive no car
Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far
For somebody who don't drive, I been all around the world
Some people say I done all right for a girl

I asked your mother if you were at home
She said yes, but you weren't alone
Oh, sometimes I think that you're avoiding me
I'm OK alone but you got something I need, well

{Refrain}

Sorry Rose......I prefer the car lol

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

What a lovely relaxed afternoon I have had :)))))

It's amazing
How you can speak
Right to my heart
Without saying a word,
You can light up the dark
Try as I may
I could never explain
What I hear when
You don't say a thing

The smile on your face
Lets me know
That you need me
There's a truth
In your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me
Whenever I fall
You say it best
When you say nothing at all

All day long
I can hear people
Talking out loud
But when you hold me near
You drown out the crowd (The crowd)
Try as they may
They can never define
What's been said
Between your
Heart and mine

The smile on your face
Lets me know
That you need me
There's a truth
In your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me
Whenever I fall
You say it best
When you say nothing at all

The smile on your face
Lets me know
That you need me
There's a truth
In your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me
Whenever I fall
You say it best
When you say nothing at all

(You say it best, When you say nothing at all
You say it best, When you say nothing at all)

The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Let's me know
That you need me

The smile on your face
Lets me know
That you need me
There's a truth
In your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me
Whenever I fall
You say it best
When you say nothing at all

(You say it best, When you say nothing at all
You say it best, When you say nothing at all)

The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Let's me know
That you need me

(You say it best, When you say nothing at all
You say it best, When you say nothing at all)

Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
And I watch 'em roll away again

Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I had nothin to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way

So I'm just...

Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same

Sittin here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home

Now, I'm just...

I met a gin soaked, bar-room queen in memphis,
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride.
She had to heave me right across her shoulder
cause I just cant seem to drink you off my mind.

Its the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.

I laid a divorcee in new york city,
I had to put up some kind of a fight.
The lady then she covered me with roses,
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind.

Its the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.

(yeah!) its the honky tonk women.
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.

(yeah!) its the honky tonk women.
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues

Starry starry night
paint your palette blue and grey
look out on a summer's day
with eyes that know the
darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills
sketch the trees and the daffodils
catch the breeze and the winter chills
in colors on the snowy linen land.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me
how you suffered for your sanity
how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen
they did not know how
perhaps they'll listen now.
Starry
starry night
flaming flo'rs that brightly blaze
swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in
Vincent's eyes of China blue.
Colours changing hue
morning fields of amber grain
weathered faces lined in pain
are soothed beneath the artist's
loving hand.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me
how you suffered for your sanity
how you tried to set them free.
perhaps they'll listen now.
For they could not love you
but still your love was true
and when no hope was left in sight on that starry
starry night.
You took your life
as lovers often do;
But I could have told you
Vincent
this world was never
meant for one
as beautiful as you.
Starry
starry night
portraits hung in empty halls
frameless heads on nameless walls
with eyes
that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the stranger that you've met
the ragged men in ragged clothes
the silver thorn of bloody rose
lie crushed and broken
on the virgin snow.
And now I think I know what you tried to say to me
how you suffered for your sanity
how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen
they're not
list'ning still
perhaps they never will.

When your baby, leaves you all alone,
And nobody, calls you on the phone,
Don't you feel like crying, don't you feel like crying,
Well here I am a hunny, c'mon cry to me.

When your all alone, in your lonely room,
And there's nothing, but the smell of her perfume,
Don't you feel like crying, don't you feel like crying,
Don't u feel like crying, c'mon, c'mon cry to me.

Whoa, nothing can be sadder than a glass of wine alone,
Loneliness, loneliness, such a waste of time, whoa yeh,
You don't ever have walk alone, well u see,
C'mon take my hand, and baby won't you walk with me,
Whoa yeh

When your waiting, for a voice to come,
In the night, but there's no one,
Don't you feel like crying, don't you feel like crying,
Don't you u feel like cr-cr-cr-cr-cr-cry cr-cr-cr-cr-cr-cr-cryin,
Don't you u feel like cr-cr-cr-cr-cr-cry cr-cr-cr-cr-cr-cr-cryin.
