Raymond Froggatt A Smile and a Song

Give understanding to the wicked and the weak
Give open mind to troubled people out on the street
Behold the beauty in the earth beneath your feet
Behold uncertainty in love and all you seek

Be ever humble to the benefit of doubt
Be ever sensitive to fire when its out
Take heed of temperament for such will harm and tear
May god shelter thee in harmony,for harmony is care

Here's to the history of power in the poor
Here's to the winter and the warmth of an open door
Here's to the lonely-the weary and the child born simply free
May the whole world keep on turning
As time turns you and me

So keep a smile on your face
keep a song in your voice
Keep a shine in your eye
Don't let the teardrops invade
All the dreams you have made
With a smile and a song
you will always get along.
All along the road

So we all do what we should do
take a chance and chase a dream
There's a time to if we want to
Dance to someone else's tune
Don't let the danger ever change you
If the way you choose is long
At the top of every mountain
There's a rainbow and a song.

All along the road
There's a million heartaches
And a sea of tears
For a penny dream
Sometimes unfold
All along the road
Behind blue eyes
Still hear the laughter
And the ghost of time
As years go by
To feel the cold
All along the road

Take heart in little darlin'
All the dreams you hold inside
Let the wind blow at the window
Send the darkness out to hide
Well stone it I've always known it
Love will always fade and fall
Don't you let it now you've said it
You will fly in spite of it all.

Run free could be free
The colour of the sky
Could be true
Today until we die
Run run run
Cover any mile
Gone gone gone
The paper and the style

Same day rain
Rollin' everyday
Cold wind blow
Chasin' pain away
All for love
Everybody say
In a cold old world

Run free and run let us run free
Run free

Time old time
Follow all the way
I can hear
Fire far away
Thunder free
Balancing on air
Send your love
I go anywhere
Raymond Froggatt
All Because Of You

Just like a cloud.. I will hang on the wind and just you and I we could reach any thing..
and I came to you like a bird with a broken wing
and you all took my part now I'm ready to begin..
and if any one should ask me why...I'm never feeling blue well the reason I am living is...
it's all because of you... and if any one should ask me how..I know all your love is true..
well the reason why I'm certain is .. It's all because of you...

Well I look at you as the sun takes it's rest
and the evening shadows fall on the face I over the best..
And so till the dawn I will think about you still..
and through that long and lonely night..
Dreams of you I will fill..

And if anyone should ask me why...
I'm never feeling blue
Well the reason why I', living is....
It's all because of you.
And if anyone should ask me how..I know all your love is true..
Well the reason why I'm certain is..
It's all because of you.

Yes it is..
Yes it is ..
Yes it is..

Belle of the Ball

All the young ladies with pearls in their hair,
looked on by all the young men who were there,
beautiful eyes made in heaven I guess..
silver and scarlet made up to impress..
with your dress cut plain,dark hair the same
your smile cost nothin at all...
there are many young girls graceful and tall but to me...
Your the Belle of the Ball.......
I know it's old fashioned..
dat - ed and all, but to me your the Belle of the Ball..

2. Hang your dreams on the nearest star
the busy dream maker will know who you are
If he held a dance as far as the moon
The first invitation would go out to you...

With your dress cut plain, dark hair the same
Your smile cost nothin at all.
There are many young girls, graceful and tall
But to me your the Belle of the Ball
I know it's old fashioned, dated and all
But to me your the Belle of the Ball.

3. When I'm looking at clouds as far as I see
You stop the rain clouds, fallin on me
Those who have mansions have nothin at all
But I've got the Belle of the Ball..

With your dress cut plain........

4. Hang your wish on the nearest star
The busy dream maker will know who you are..
If he held a dance as far as the moon
The first invitation would go out to you..

With your dress cut plain.......

To me ... Your the Belle of the Ball
Charlie

Charlie with brown eyes blue skys ain't nothing on you
and others I see in the world don't hardly matter.....
and I'll keep my whole life dedicated to you
My little darlin dressed in black your daddy's gonna buy you a Cadillac...
My little darlin dressed in red everybody in the room will turn their head
I'd like to sing this song in French...
Je Parle pas France Bien...

Charlie... with brown eyes.. you know ... blue skies...
they ain't got nothin on you...
and others I see... in this crazy world...don't hardly matter..
and I'll keep my whole life dedicated to you..

Disco lights turn your dark hair blue..
I just don't know what I'm gonna do with all of you..
You know I'll do anything you want me to..
as long as I'm alive I'll stay by you..
I'd like to sing this song in French..
Je Parle pas France Bien...

Charlie..with brown eyes..you know..blue skies..

and others I see..in this crazy world..don't hardly matter..
I'll keep my whole life dedicated to you..

Yes I'll keep my whole life..dedicated to you..
Cool Summer Air

I could follow you down to bright lights
I got nothing to do today
I could drive to the Spanish quarter
A hundred guitars to play
See Salinas across the harbor
From the mornin’ into the night
Fill the glasses with Angelica
A little romance is alright

Cool summer air
Is here and everywhere
Cool summer air
As long as you are there I don’t care
Out on the sea
I’ll be with you I’m sure
Cool summer air
And you and me today I’m ok.

I could fly you to Barcelona
You can sing to the king of Spain
In the sun and imagination
We will pirate the Spanish Main
We will walk in the sand at midnight
We love in the world for free
Deal the Cards

Love me like you used to
There’s a aching in my heart
Roll away the tears and start again
Looks like every time I play
I turn the a spade and then
Deal the cards and lose again

I could never hold you
Like the other fellas do
I’m just another trophy on your wall
In the streets and alley ways
I shoot a game or two
Deal the cards and think of you

There goes my place for the turn of an ace
I lost my heart on the turn of a card

I will always keep you
In the space here in my heart
Instead of you I hold a few
Of natures losin’ cards
He took you from the table
When my luck for you was down it’s true
Deal the cards for some one new

You’re the last thing on my mind
Before I sleep at night
You’re the only winning hand I’ve known
If I ever find the game that I could deal and never lose
I’ll turn the final card
And I’ll find you
Don't Let Me Cry Again

Here we stand on a cloud of disbelieving life all confused and running out of time...
steppin over our love ..and so we hold it seems just the memory of our broken dreams..
hoping somehow we can keep in mind...
all the good things in our lives in our lives...
Don't let me cry again instead let's try again..
Don't let the teardrops end don't let me cry ....A.gain...
and so it's......

2. And so it's true...
Into every life a little rain must fall..
these old cliché still remain with us all..
whether we rise or fall..
And so I say to you, don't be sad when your whole life seems blue..
It's just a matter of remembering who..
Puts the magic in your songs..and in your life...

Don't let me cry again..
Instead let's try again...
Don't let the teardrops end
Don't let me cry....again

Instrumental

3. Laughing eyes..lose their shine because of sad goodbyes..
funny how they fade as time goes by..
It's the same all over the world.. all over the world..
You know that feelins burn..in a way that only lovers learn..
Facing lonely that could last for years..
Till our hearts cease to hurt..they cease to hurt..

Don't let me cry again..
Instead let's try again...
Don't let the teardrops end..
Don't let me cry.......again..

Don't let me cry again.
Instead let's try again..
Don't let the teardrops end..
don't let me cry......again
Everybody Falls In Love

Lovely girls and Ferris wheels
shinin in the sun it seems...
Dancin in and out of rain...

If only for one day...
Everybody falls in love..
That's the way the story goes...
Just as sure as a baby's born..

Just as sure as a baby's born..Every body falls in love..

So it goes all things will change..
Some with love .. some with pain..
Some we'll lose and others gain..
but we all grow up the same

You know .. sun will shine on cloudy days..
Buddy Holly mentioned True Love Ways
I guess he knew 'bout words of Love
That we all grow up the same

Instrumental

Five Hundred Miles to the Sun

Five hundred miles to the sun
Packed and we’re ready to run
We’ve done everything to be done
Carry guitars by the ton
The lights are down
And the people are gone
Five hundred miles to the sun.

Five hundred miles down the road
Carrin’ dreams by the load
We passed all the stars in the sky
Leave a song to the towns goin’ by
When the moon has gone
Still rollin’ on
Five hundred miles to the sun.

There’s a stage on down the road
Waiting people come along
I’ve seen them laugh,I’ve heard them cry
Play a while then say goodbye
Five hundred bridges crossed and worn away
And so it goes another day
My friends and I all packed away
We don’t know why we know no fears
We play the part and dry the tears
Five hundred miles to roll away the years

Run Billy run Billy run
So many songs to be sung
The road is cold
And your heart is young
Run billy run billy run
Billy run
Follow The Sun And Run

Collar turned - winter wind
Empty time - other things
Changin' days - shades of blue
Put the likes of me and you
To look for friends and stick like glue.

Fallin' fire the rain
Far as I can go
I'm on the run
The time as come
Follow the sun and run
I been markin' time
River life roll by
I'm on the run
The time as come
Follow the sun and run

Run a mile - catch a star
It don't matter who you are
Time is here - take your part
See the future in your heart
When times are hard
Don't fall apart

Fallin' fire the rain
Far as I can go
I'm on the run
The time as come
Follow the sun and run
I been markin' time
River life roll by
I'm on the run
The time as come
Follow the sun and run

Make a break - do it now
Upside down - Anyhow
Show the world your alive
Like as not - you'll survive
Night and day the only way.
Forever yours

When the song is long forgotten
When the sky has hit the bottom
Every cloud will spell forever yours
Fallin over every colour
Some will change and love another
Promise I can stay forever yours
When I'm old and gettin' older
Put a blanket on my shoulder
Hold me in your time along the road
In the night and if you want to
Shine a light that I can come to
Always let me stay forever yours.

I will stay forever yours
Always be forever yours
Through cold and rain and love and pain
Oh Let me be forever yours.

Tell me honestly you want me
no one else will be above me
Never nothin' more forever yours
Run me ragged pull me over
Just as long as i'm your lover
I'll be satisfied forever yours

I will stay forever yours
Always be forever yours
Through cold and rain and love and pain
Oh Let me be forever yours
Funny How The Days Go By

(funny how the days go by)
(funny how the days go by)
All the give and take and the cruel heartbreak

and the cloud of tears
consequence and fears they can pass la di da from my door..

and I'll give it to some one I love
in the pale moonlight on a love filled night
I will trade it for the stars above..

they can fall like a tear to the floor..as they dance and turn long ago they burn..

You can take my case to the human race...

Serenade

I still remember the dress of blue you wore
the day was rain as you walked thro' the door,
your smile was shining
dress so wet and torn..
I've never seen so many stars since I've been born..
This is My Serenade A song for All Things....
It's made in Heaven so all the World Sings....
of A Love Everlasting
A song for Ev er.....
My Serenade for lovers like we Two

2. You missed the last bus home...
Walked on thro' the storm..
You faltered gracefully across the wooden floor..
I still dream only .. as if it was yesterday..
The rainy hour that turned my loneliness to love..

This is my Serenade.. A song for all things..
It's made in Heaven.. So all the world sings..
My Serenade for lovers like we Two..

Instrumental

3. And so the Years go by.. we spend as Lovers still..
And no one else could take My Heart the way you do
And I often wonder.. what would have happened to me....
But for the rain.. A dress of blue.. and only You..

Chorus and fade....
Someday

As I lay dreamin’
I saw you and all around you were
Laughter and music someone sang in my world
All through the darkness
Alight shines right there above I can picture
White horses are to fly us away

Someday we will fly away
Find our way to the stars
Someday you’ll say
Now I can be truly foolish

Someday we’ll walk in
The places that only we will know
We’ll find a rainbow and never want to go home
Someday they’ll find us
And ask us what we were lookin for
We’ll say that some day they’ll find a dream of their own

Someday while dancin’
We’ll hold onto love and everything
Do it all over again
Talk of the good tomes and do it all over again.
Somewhere Under The Sun

The sun in the sky has a look in his eye..
the smile on his face as the clouds go on by..
down on the beach every Bobby and Jeannie is dancin
McDonald's and fries a painted rocket that flys...
magic the dreams of every kid passing by
and down on the sand everybody who can is romancing..
But if your lookin for me I''m down by the sea
I'm under the sun where the seagulls fly under clear blue skys
somewhere under the sun

2. Hand in hand on the edge of the land
lovers are movin to the sound of a band
and a carousel is turning.. to welcome the tide in,
You know and later the man, who sells ice cream from a van
will run to the bar, as fast as he can, and the lady who danced
with stars in her eyes will feel lonely..

but if your lookin for me.. I'm down by the sea.. I'm
under the sun..
where the seagulls fly under clear blue skys
somewhere under the sun

3. (Instrumental)

Repeat 2nd verse

but if your lookin for me.. I'm down by the sea.. I'm
under the sun..
where seagulls fly under clear blue skys
somewhere under the sun.

If your lookin for me...if your lookin for me..
Pardon me while I think of my Louise..
Teach Me Pa

Teach me how to grow Pa.. teach me to be wise
make me good and strong Pa in your eyes..
can you teach me how to fight Pa teach me to be brave..
I don't wanna let you down Pa If I go to my grave..
Oh no son... Your on your own
and I can't help you now your grown....

2. Teach me how to kill Pa..
Teach me how to die..
Kiss me on the face Pa..
I think I'm gonna cry.
But won't you teach me how to love Pa..
teach me to be kind..
I've often heard it said Pa..
the whole world is blind.

Oh no son, your on your own
and I can't help you now that you have grown

3. Can you teach me how to kill Pa..
teach me how to die.
kiss me on the face Pa..
I think I'm gonna cry
But wont you teach me how to love Pa..
teach me to be kind
I've often heard it said Pa the whole world is blind..

Oh no son, your on your own
and I can't help you now your grown..
Oh no son, your on your own..
and I can't help you now your grown
The Breeze Passed by

The world gave a time to the birth of a child and the child was a son
and he danced on the Earth under Stars, as all dreamers do...
and he fell for the love of a girl,
and with others he sang..
forever to walk as one and the music rang....
And the wind blew the Joy across the face of the Sun.....
and the Breeze passed by..
Pum Per um Pum Pum......
so they grew into time and ran just as people do...
They made acquaintance with hurt and pain,
and good times to..
There were time as when apart they lost will with the heart...
but the love pulled them through,
as they walked in a dream from the start under skies of Blue..
and the wind blew the joy across the face of the Sun..
and the breeze passed by...
Pum Per Ump Pum Pum

Instrumental Verse

And the wind blew the joy ...across the face of the sun..
And the breeze passed by.. Um Per Um Pum Pum

So the time turned to years, after joy dreams and tears..they now smiled upon
Still together they walk in the hills that they once set out upon..
In the turn of a page.. they had got to the stage, when their age was fun..
For the love that he laid at her feet.. and the man was gone..

And the wind blew the tears ..across the face of the sun..
And the breeze passed by.. Um Per Um Pum Pum

And the wind blew the tears.. across the face of the sun
and the breeze passed by .. Um Per Um Pum Pum

Turn around, turn around, turn around..
and the man was gone...

Turn around, turn around, turn around

and the man was gone...
The land of love

Take me by the hand
To a winter wonderland
Take me to the land of love
Where the children on the sand
Sing and dancin’ to a band
Take me to the land of love.

Take me by the heart
Say we never gonna part
Take me to the land of love
Eatin’ toffee apple trees
Till your dyin’ on your knees
Take me to the land of love

Show me once again
Through the window of a train
Take me to the land of love
Where the colour of the sky
Hits you right between the eyes
Take me to the land of love

Take me by the hair
Over land sea and air
Take me to the land of love
Where the apple blossom trees
Growin valentine leaves
Take me to the land of love
Victoria's Lullaby

There's a big moon shining and the dogs are barking
and the coals are dying on the fire,
there's a shadow stealing all across the ceiling
and the day is busy going by...........
Wait till tomorrow - wait till tomorrow

go to sleep with your dreams...
I'm an

Until tomorrow..
Go to sleep with your dreams..

There's a story waiting..In the sleep you are sleeping..

Until tomorrow...

Stay in your dreams..

Wings On My Heels

The Older I grow the more I know broken hearts don't mend
But I hope you find the joy in your lives your lookin for my friend
And when your cut and you bleed you find your need on me you can depend
Just you pick up your shoes and bring me your blues and I'll be singing round the bend.
It was nice to have known you anyway - you know that all dreams like mine die in the same old way,
And every time you go takes my breath away - but it was nice to have known you anyway
And I'll fly any-where you are you know any distance any star
You all are part of everything I feel you know I got wings and their on my heels.

When it's goodbye my loves .. I wish you good luck
and don't you worry 'bout the rain..
When our time is up .. oh my loves..
you won't owe me anything..

It was just nice to have known you anyway
You know that all dreams like mine die in the same old way..
and everytime you go takes my breath away..

and I'll fly .. anywhere you are..
you know any distance any star..
You all are part of everything I feel..
I got wings and their on my heels.

Instrumental

The older I grow.. the more I know broken hearts don't mend
but I hope you find the joy in your lives .. your looking for my friend
and when your cut and you bleed.. you find your need
and I'll be singin around the bend..
It was nice to have known you anyway
You know that all dreams like mine die in the same old way
and everytime you go it takes my breath away..
It was just nice to have known you all anyway..

and I'll fly etc.
Youthful Days

Aeroplanes confusing video games
Ups and Downs of days all pass me by
Golden gaze of all my crazy phase
Remind me constantly of my youthful days
Take me down forever hearing sounds
Be they from sky to ground and all I've been
Songs of blue and joy for me and you
Only for just the few who choose to dream.

Everynight I put my head
upon my pillow like everybody else
I drift away into the stars
I am hoping in the morning
I will find you next to me in sleep
Kiss you just before the dawn is nigh.

I ask the stars why only they cans see
They never answer me from song to song
I even ask the sun although his days are long
If he could find the time to shine upon the young.

So I can run from cloud to cloud
To find my feet will never falter
My directions never alter now it seems
In the shadows I will find you
As I turn around the corner
And I hope that its not only in my dreams.
Have you seen the children

Nobody spoke
Cause no one knew their names
These are the days when every ones the same
Tell me have you seen the children
Doing what they want to
Have you heard them talking
Saying what they feeling
Taking on the world
Tell me have you seen the children
Walking in the thunder
Have you seen the children taking on the world

Now the kids aint blind
as they pass their way through school
And these are the days when nobodys child a fool
Tell me Have you seen the children
Doing what they want to
Have heard them talking
Saying what they feeling
Taking on the world

Tell me Have you seen the children
Walking in the thunder
Have you seen the children
Taking on the world

Now they all need luck
But there good and free and strong
And I got a feeling
It aint gonna take to long
Tell me have you seen the children
Doing what they want to
Have you heard them talking
Saying what they’re meaning
Taking on the world
Tell me have you seen the children
Walking in the thunder
Have you seen the children taking on the world
Have you seen the children doing what they want to taking on the world
Maybe The Angels

Each passing hour of everyday, I am blue
I spend them like we used to do
In the same old way
I know it's only dreaming As night or day is leaving
Still I'm dreaming any way

Over the seas and mountains far
Across the sky, beyond the stars
I wish on every broken heart
Maybe the angels will tell us how you are

Here come the colours of the night
Dancing, shining, looking bright
Another game I'm playing
And still my heart is saying
Everything is going to be alright

Over the seas and mountains far
Across the sky, beyond the stars
I wish on every broken heart
Maybe the angels will tell me how you are.

And the stars shine bright for tonight
And they are shining for the world.

Over the seas and mountains far
Across the sky, beyond the stars
I wish on every broken heart
Maybe the angels will tell me how you are
