All lips and hips
He shook it down
He took us out
As we all rode the mystery train
One long shout
Filled with vigor, imagination
All about
Rambunctious earthiness
And sweet desire
It’s what we deserved
Together, we built the fire

All hail to the King
And that leather suit he wore
On the Comeback Special
What’s more
Is the legacy
Never will it die
That magic music
Still shaking our insides

So it is with appreciation and fondness
Deep inside my heart
I give tribute from this earnest fan
Who gave us its start
Rock and roll is still here to stay
I know you understand
On top of that I hear
He was a very nice man

Everyone is so nice
Everywhere
So you wonder why there is strife
It’s not fair
We the people don’t want it
Anymore
Anywhere

Peace
We want peace
From now on
Each of us
All of us
Everyone
We want just to live
Enjoy the air we breathe
It’s the same old sun for all of us
In love we believe

So everybody
Everywhere
Time for us to truly share

It was a moment that led into an hour
Then a day, then a month, then years,
Then a life
A life of love
From an instant to a minute
And then on
To an endless supply of mirth and merriment
And just plain contentment
As we ambled down the road
Together, together
Ever, ever
Never to sever
Locked forever
However we go
Wherever for we know
We’re not going anywhere without the other.

I told her that I loved her
I had no other choice
When you’re bedazzled
And enamored
There is no other plan
She responded with affection
Said she felt the same
That was then
Now it’s now
We still feel the same

Love is a golden chalice
Love is all
Love is kind
Love is all we need
For peace of mind

We still have the fervor
Of those lovely cuddled nights
Safe in our beddy-bye
Cozy through the night
When I told her I loved her
All my dreams came true
If you hope and maybe pray
It will happen to you

I’m the guy who likes the girl who likes someone else
Oh, if we could only dance together
How I wish
I want somebody who wants to be with me
So, I’m not the quarterback
But I’ve got it going on
I’m safe, steady, reliable
Ready, so ready
I crane my neck looking longingly
Why isn’t she with me?
I plod along wishing, hoping, wondering
When, how it will come to be
That day will come when the girl
Won’t want to be with him
Because she’ll be with me

Harvest time is here again
Dawn to dusk
Then back again
Loading the tractor
Filling the barn
All I’ve ever known
Living the farm
Critters abound
We see life as a whole
A concentric circle
A place of our own
A simple life
But good
It ain’t easy
So we work hard
The wife and me
Will the kids take it over?
That’s wait and see
For the time being
There’s so much to do
Gotta get going
So it’s later for you

We’re all actors on a stage
I do it for real
I learn my lines
Wear costumes
Pretend it is real life
But sometimes something happens
When one cannot conceal
The emotions being displayed
Are truly, really real
Ask Jenny, she played my female lead
We didn’t write the lines
But what they meant to her and me
Grew with each performance
As if meant to be
With every encore as we bowed
Electric chemistry
That play had a long run
So have we
You see, we got married
Happily
These days we write our own lines
There’s a joyful family
Wait for our Christmas card
Then you’ll see
