lyrics
mama said
Mama said it don't cost nothin' for a smile
You might just make someone happy for a while
And if you can put some good into this world
I'll be proud of you my darlin' baby girl
Mama said you don't judge a book just by its cover
You feel your way and don't feel pressured by another
Take love slow and if it's truly meant to be
You'll learn the secret of that smile between your Daddy and me
But don't waste your time arguing common sense
Know your mind and don't you dare sit on that fence
Tell the truth, keep the faith that's what Mama said to me
Keep it real and you'll see that the best things are still free
Mama said don't cry about me when I'm gone
Just do your best to live your life well and be strong
Try to help people worse off in this world
And remember Mama loves you baby girl
Your Mama loves her little darlin' baby girl
drive
Hell I don't know how we even got into this fight
But standing here talking in circles sure ain't gonna make it right
And I'm tired of wasting breath trying to make you see
You just don't understand so just take my hand and come along with me
Baby let's drive
Yeah let's get away
We can ride all night and then sleep all day
So let's head for the coast and just make the most
Of the wind in our hair let me take you there
Jump inside put the car in cruise
And let's take a chance babe 'cause we've got nothing to lose tonight
Baby let's drive
Put the pedal to the metal and we'll run away into the night
Let the sound of the wheels on the road make this love reignite
Put your trust in us and darlin' I can guarantee
We'll take the exit sign leave the past behind till there's just you and me
Baby let's drive
Yeah let's get away
We can ride all night and then sleep all day
So let's head for the coast and just make the most
Of the wind in our hair let me take you there
Jump inside put the car in cruise
And let's take a chance babe 'cause we've got nothing to lose tonight
Baby let's drive
We've got the radio up and the top right down
And there's a million stars in the sky
We've got a real good thing and it's worth saving
So baby we've gotta give it a try
Baby let's drive
Yeah let's get away
We can ride all night and then sleep all day
So let's head for the coast and just make the most
Of the wind in our hair let me take you there
Jump inside put the car in cruise
And let's take a chance babe 'cause we've got nothing to lose tonight
Baby let's drive
listen
You on the front porch me here inside with oceans in between
I'm so afraid that each time we fight we're coming apart at the seams
And I've been trying to tell you something ain't right
But it's like walking on shifting sand
And you don't even notice when I cry at night
And you just don't understand
Darlin' listen I'm here before this love of ours disappears
Baby listen with your heart 'cause I can't stand us being apart
Darlin' listen
Baby I know I'm a hard one to love when I'm working as much as I am
But I swear on my life to the heavens above in my heart I'm still your man
And I've been wanting to hold you but something ain't right
I just haven't found the courage I need
And it kills me to know that you cry at night
How can I make you believe
Darlin' listen I'm here before this love of ours disappears
Baby listen with your heart 'cause I can't stand us being apart
Darlin' listen
We've both made the same mistakes
Now it's time to make this work or break
Darlin' listen I'm here before this love of ours disappears
Baby listen with your heart 'cause I can't stand us being apart
Darlin' listen
Ooh - ooh darlin' listen
trees are green
In the summer of '24 a little girl was born
They called her Muriel Theresa when she came
And as she grew she found her voice and dreamed of future fame
But the children teased her endlessly about her middle name
They called her Trees Are Green dance round again
You've got a funny face with a funny name catch us if you can
Let's play hide and seek and you be quiet so we won't be seen
Oh gee what fun we had with you today Trees Are Green
Those who heard you sing thought you'd be the next big thing
You won a contest on the radio they say
But war sure changes everything and life gets in the way
So you settled down with Tommy and you had six kids without delay
They all sang Trees Are Green sing me a song
Rock a bye your little baby girl your Daddy won't be long
Swing me round and around I'm a Princess you're a queen
Mummy can we play that game again today Trees Are Green
You were thirty nine in sixty four when I came to be
You were Muriel Theresa but just Nana Moo to me
Trees Are Green sing me a song
Somewhere Over The Rainbow and Nana can I sing along
You were just like Judy up there on the silver screen
But you were brighter than a movie star to me Trees Are Green
You still shine brighter than a movie star to me Trees Are Green
who knows
I'd never been the kind of girl who believed in love
You'd never catch me wishing on no stars above
But you do something to me that I can't explain
Now I only know I'm thinking about you night and day
Who knows where this thing is going
Who knows if it's meant to me
Who knows how far this ride will take us
Baby just hold on and we'll see
I'd never been a woman who would recognise
A diamond in the rough standing before my eyes
But baby you're the reason why I feel this free
And now I only know I really want you here with me
Who knows where this thing is going
Who knows if it's meant to be
Who knows how far this ride will take us
Baby just hold on and we'll see
All my friends say that I'm crazy
But if I'm crazy then it's true
'Cause honey this feels so good that I think I should
Just keep on loving you
I'd never been a lady who could find a way
To promise just one man forever and a day
But maybe something's changing yeah I think it's time
Let's throw caution to the wind and let the fates decide
Who knows where this thing is going
Who knows if it's meant to be
Who knows how far this ride will take us
Baby just hold on and we'll see
Who knows where this thing is going
Who knows if it's meant to be
Who knows how far this ride will take us
Baby just hold on and we'll see
Baby just hold on and we'll see
shine on
When you just can't see a road away from this
And there's no signpost around to show you bliss
No hope no love no light
No future only night
When there's darkness all around you shine on
Pick yourself up off the ground shine on
You are strong and you are brave
You belong and you're amazing
Turn on your beautiful light shine on
When this game of life gets so, so hard to play
And you're not sure you can make it through the day
They knock you down you cry
They laugh you wonder why
When there's darkness all around you shine on
Pick yourself up off the ground shine on
You are strong and you are brave
You belong and you're amazing
Turn on your beautiful light shine on
'Cause haters will hate - schemers will scheme
Fighters will fight and dreamers will dream
But baby you know that's just what it is
So you live and let live and never take more than you give
'Cause at the end of the day you know love will find a way
When there's darkness all around you shine on
Pick yourself up off the ground shine on
You are strong and you are brave
You belong and you're amazing
Turn on your beautiful light shine on
