Man Mountain
Chorus
Man mountain , booming heart
You set yourself apart,
Right from the start
Man mountain , booming heart
You set yourself apart,
Right from the start start
When trouble’s up ahead
And you are working to the core,
You will still find the time to take the lead,
And so much more
Your smile infectiously sparks off the child in me,
Your cheer and melody make me feel free
Chorus
Because you’re by my side
I know to keep my channel wide,
Can steer this little row boat back to shore against the tide
Your wit, your charm and glee, a true philosophy
It’s hard to disagree with what we see!
Chorus
When I am stuck in waters deep
With not much time to think,
You’ll always be the one to make the leap before we sink,
Your smile infectiously sparks off the child in me,
Your cheer and melody Make me feel free
Chorus
You’re never phased by conflict
Just the sign of who you are,
Avoiding any heartache
Keep your enemies afar,
Your wit, your charm and glee, a true philosophy
It’s hard to disagree with what we see!

Why does the sun shine?
03:34

Why does the sun shine when you smile?
Why does the sun shine when you smile?
And why do I feel this way?
For a while I’ve been stopping every day
Just in case you should drift away
Cause hope is the sentiment I feel
A hope I can take with me,
I know of the person I can be,
With a smile you passed on for free
Why does the sun shine when you talk?
And why is the grass so green?
For a while I’ve been more inclined to walk
Cause I know there’s a path unseen
Yes hope is the feeling that I sense
A hope, I see everywhere
I know in my moments of distress
that I’ll smile when I know you’re there.
why does the sunshine when you laugh ?
And why do the birds fly ?
For a while i’ve been disinclined to love
but you should know that i’ll be all right
Yes hope is the feeling that I hold
A hope, I can see me through
I know when I'm turning grey and old
That I'll smile, when I think of you.
Yes, I'll smile, when I think of you.

Breathe easy just breathe
breathe so
that you can sleep
breathe easy
the day will come and go
so breathe easy let it flow
breathe easy just breathe
breathe, it’s not your time to keep
breathe easy
so simple when you try
so breathe easy let it fly
you’ll get by
and you’ll move on
it’s just a moment
so carry on
you will get by
you will regain
your sense of reason
to shield the pain
breathe easy just breathe
breathe so that you believe
breathe easy and find that special place to breathe easy in your space
you’ll get stronger as you exhale
your woes and worries begin to pale
into a mere insignificance
know that you're movin' and take the chance

The What ifs

THE WHAT IFS
The what ifs aren’t important
Cause the what ifs they don’t count
the what ifs aren’t important
Leave you feeling you’re left out
The what ifs aren’t important
You’re not rich but you are free
Take a leap of faith and jump into the sea
The what ifs aren’t important coz the what ifs they’re just lies
The what ifs aren’t important
No such thing as bluer skies
The what ifs aren’t important
You’re not old and you’re not done
Find the rhythm of your life and have some fun!
CHORUS
The what ifs lead you down a winding slope
the what ifs and the maybes
The what ifs they aren’t real they’re just a thought
So just get going, every moment’s there to seize
So just get going, every moment’s there to seize
What if i were taller would you look up every time
What if I were smaller would you spy me from behind?
What if i were richer
Would you still be keen on me?
Or would you roam about footloose and fancy free?
The what if i could work less
and what if i were flash?
The what if I were wreckless
Spending all your well earned cash?
What if i’d toured countries
Crossed the 7 seas and more?
Would you listen to my stories
and not look bored
CHORUS

Springtime Nights
02:19
|

Logs are on the fire pit
Smoke snakes
towards my eye
The wind ensures the wood’s stays lit
Small grey clouds meet the sky
Wee birdies in the garden sing their tuneful melodies
The pink gin sun is setting in the breeze
The sunshine’s on a dimmer switch
The grass seems darker green
The smell of smoke from pine and birch
Pervades the inbetween
I sip my glass of Spanish wine
Pretend I’m somewhere new
Absorb the smell of springtime next to you
Spring time nights
Spring time long
Hear the blackbird sing it’s favourite song
On an old deck chair on my back lawn,
Where I belong, Where I belong!
My spaniels sits across my feet,
Breathes in the springtime air
And chases little bits of twig
And birds that aren’t there
Amidst the orange fire glow
I spy a heart and soul
Those fiery embers winking their hello
My smoky clothes don’t bother me
A trace of time outside
Just staring at the cherry tree
That’s budding in the night
I know 500 sit with me
On benches, or in parks
Surrounding little fires in the dark
CHORUS
