Ring of Fire
June Carter/Merle Kilgore [6:40]
Love … is a burning thing.
And It makes, makes, makes a fiery ring.
Bound, bound, bound, bound by wild desire,
I fell in to that burning ring of fire.
I fell Into a burning ring of fire.
I went down, down, down
but, the flames they went higher,
‘cause it burns, burns, burns,
that ring of fire, that ring of fire.
…
…
Th’ taste, the taste of love is sweet,
when hearts, hearts, hearts like ours meet.
I fell for you, I fell for you like a child,
oh, but, that child’s fire went wild.
I fell Into a burning ring of fire.
I went down, down, down
but, the flames went higher,
and It burns, burns, burns
that ring of fire,
and It burns, burns, burns
that ring of fire.
…
and It burns, burns, burns
that ring of fire.
and It burns, burns, burns, burns
that ring of fire.
Love … is a burning thing.
And It makes,
It makes a fiery, fiery ring.
Bound, bound, bound, bound by wild desire,
I fell in to that burning ring of fire.
…

Ceora
Lee Morgan/Lyrics Jean Lenke [5:10]
This song of love some would say
was written on a train.
Lee Morgan took a trip
he was headed down,
down to the bay.
He was hoping he could
rest and find a little peace.
Then walked in a girl.
She winked and took a seat.
Suddenly his quiet heart
it skipped a beat.
He wondered if
there ever in this
world could be
another face
that he could love more.
Ceora told him her name.
She asked him, would he play
a song for her to sing,
about that beautiful day.
Lee Morgan knew his
heart would never be the same,
knowing that their paths
would part along the way.
And so he sits and plays
Ceora’s song
and his lonely broken heart,
remembers her smiling face.
…
This song of love some would say
is ‘bout the dreams we live everyday.
- flirtatious looks in moments when we
just don’t know what to say.
These moments always
come and go a little soon.
We turn to songs of love
and harvest moons.
Suddenly-our quiet hearts
they dance around the room.
We wonder if there
ever in this world
will be another face that
we could love more.
We meet people everyday.
Flirtations, they happen this way.
It’s when these moments
change our stars
we just don’t know what to say.
Lee Morgan knew his
heart would never be the same.
Ceora’s song
would haunt him everyday.
So he sits alone
and plays Ceora’s song,
and his lonely broken heart,
remembers her smiling face…
her smiling face…
Ceora’s face.

Help Me
Joni Mitchell
Help me.
I think I'm falling
in love again.
When I get that crazy feeling,
I know I'm in trouble again.
I'm in trouble
‘cause you're a rambler
and a gambler and a
sweet talking ladies man
and you love your lovin’...
but, not like you love your freedom.
Help me.
I think I'm falling
In love too fast.
It's got me hoping for the future
and worrying about the past
'cause I've seen some hot hot blazes
come down to smoke and ash.
We love our lovin'...
but, not like we love our freedom.
[We love our freedom.]
Oh - didn't it feel good?
We were sitting there talking,
[not] lying there not talking.
You dance with the lady
with the hole in her stocking.
Didn't it feel good?
Didn’t it feel good?
Oh, didn’t it feel good?
Help me.
I think I'm falling
in love with you.
Are you gonna let me go there by myself?
I’s such a lonely thing to do.
Both of us flirting around
- and flirting around
- and hurt’n too.
[Yeah] we love our lovin'...
but, not like we love our freedom.
Freedom… … … …

There’s Magic in the Night
Music & Lyrics by James Solomon
There’s magic in the night
That’s the time I spend with you.
There’s magic in the night
- those secret moments made for two.
Who needs the morning light
when the magic in my life
always seems to happen at night …
at night… at night… at night?
There’s magic in the night
- those precious moments we are free.
In love we both delight
and dream of what I our lives should be.
I wait the whole day long
just to get-back home
to the joy in my life,
the magic at the night.
Oh, I ‘d like to stay forever
but, the morning seems to come so soon.
I’d like to stay forever
but, the morning seems,
the morning seems to come
so soon… so soon… so soon.
…
…
So soon…
the morning seems to come so soon…
So Soon…
I’d like to stay forever
but the morning seems, the morning seems
the mornin’ seems to come
the mornin’ seems to come so soon
the mornin’ seems to come so soon
There’s magic in the night
but, the mornin’ seems to come so soon…

West Coast Blues
Wes Montgomery/Sasha Burland [4:19]
I got a baby on the East Coast
- gig goin' on the West Coast,
- suitcase full of sorrows.
I’m so tired of payin' traveling dues.
‘ Lonely in the evenin’,
- no good make believin’.
Anyone else could make me happy
like my little baby.
One of these days I'm goin'
to pack my bags on go way back home
where I can see my baby on the East Coast.
…
I got the blues …
…
…
[From Natchez to Mobile,
from Memphis to St. Joe,
wherever, wherever the four winds blow.
Can’t you hear then calling
Hear that whistle blowin’
Whoo whoo whoo whoo-eee!]
…
I got the blues.

A House is Not a Home
Burt Bacharach/Hal David [5:33]
A chair is still a chair
even when there's no one sitting there.
But, a chair is not a house and a house is not a home
when there's no one there, to hold you tight,
and no one there you can kiss good night.
A room is still a room
even when there's nothing there but gloom.
But, a room is not a house and a house is not a home,
when the two of us are far apart,
and one of us has a broken heart.
Now and then I call your name
and suddenly your face appears.
But, it's just a crazy game.
When it ends, it ends in tears.
Darling, have a heart.
Don't let one mistake keep us apart.
I'm not meant to live alone.
- turn this house into a home.
When I climb the stair and turn the key,
Oh, please be there, still in love with me.
…

Home at Last
Donald Fagen/Walter Becker [6:25]
I know this super highway
- this bright familiar sun.
I guess that I'm the lucky one.
Who wrote that tired sea song,
set on this peaceful shore?
You think you've heard this one before?
Well the danger on the rocks is surely past.
Still I remain tied to the mast.
Could it be that I have found my home at last?
Home, at last.
He serves the smooth retsina.
He keeps me safe and warm.
It's just the calm before the storm.
Call in my reservation.
So long, hey thanks my friend.
I think I'll try my, luck again.
Well the danger on the rocks is surely past.
Still I remain tied to the mast.
Could it be that I have found my home at last?
Home, at last.

One Last Chance at Love
Jean Lenke [5:23]
And my soul sinks down
through the darkness and murk.
And my soul sinks down
to the bottom of the earth,
where the water is cold,
where the waters don’t move
and the moonlight barely glows.
And the waves break soft,
soft against the shore,
and it pulls my heart that
you don't want me anymore.
Still the water is cold
and the waters don’t move
and the moonlight barely glows.
Then you reach out your hand.
Then you reach out your hand.
I’ve got one last chance,
one last chance, at love.
…
And I know its wrong,
steady as the tide,
but my soul seeks love.
Will your comfort save my life?
Still the water is cold,
and the waters don’t move,
and I know that it’s true
that no moonlight glows tonight.

Sandshadow
David R Miller/ Jean Lenke [5:33]
Lying in your arms shadows fall.
Your breath upon my face,
there I see you.
Colors dance through thoughts
where I touched you.
Waves… memories… in the sand.
Lying in your arms shadows dancing
- echos of our lost romance.
- waves and sea, the sand at our feet
- the tide of love that we once shared.
Your were there.
…
...
Shadows fall and still I know.
Run and play.
Pass the day.
Tides they sway.
Won’t you stay?

There Will Be Love Again
James Solomon/ Quincy Jacobs [5:37]
Love again… there will be love again.
Love again, love for me, love again.
In the air, everywhere, love again.
Love again… there will be love again.
Why must I be the-one who’s always crying
when there’s happiness all around?
I know that I can start a new if I keep trying
to find someone who will be kind and loving to me,
who will help-me to see love again.
Love again… there will be love again.
Love again, love for me, love again.
In the air, everywhere, love again.
Love again… there will be love again.
Why should I always be broken hearted
when there’s so much joy to be found?
I could get a whole new world started
with some one who is right,
who’ll give me new insight,
who will show me the light of love again.
I know, I know, I’ll see love again.
There will be love for me again.
I know, I know, I’ll see love again.
There will be love for me again
Love again… there will be love again.
Love again, love for me, love again.
In the air…
…
I know, I know, I’ll see love again.
I know, I know, I’ll see love again.
There will be love for me again.
I know, I know, I’ll see love again.
There will be love for me again
Love again … love again
Love again … love again
Love again…

Very Early
Bill Evans/Jean Lenke [2:31]
Very early, waves beat softly
on the banks below
I can hear their gentle rhythms
as the dawn casts it’s glow.
Moonlight’s changing,
light is rearranging.
Birds, they sing their sweet tunes.
I can hear your gentle heartbeat.
Will they’ll wake you too soon?
Now we lay here
we’re so-close together.
Yesterday we were friends.
Now we’re lovers
holding one another.
Stop the sunlight.
Take us back to
- magic in the night.
…
Morning’s here our love must end.

On a Clear Day [You Can See Forever]
Burton Lane/Alan Jay Lerner [3:37]
On a clear day rise and look around you
and you'll see who you are.
On a clear day, how it will astound you,
that the glow of your being outshines every star.
You’ll feel part of every mountain sea and shore.
You can hear, from far and near,
a word you've never heard- before.
And on a clear day… on a clear day…
you can see forever… and ever…
and ever and ever more.
…
You can see forever more.

Restless Wondering [6:43]
Danielle Jackson (AKA: Danie Ocean)
Somethings alive inside me
For the first time.
Something is right,
it might be
The first time.
I’m not afraid
I will say the wrong thing.
There’s no-more restless wondering.
So the story goes,
they say that life
is an open road.
Where the wind may blow,
we hold our hopes
and travel on.
I’m not afraid
I will do the wrong thing
There’s no-more restless
wondering.
When I feel you beside me,
feels like thunder meets lightening.
And all the years, they just remind me,
that I’m exactly where I want to be.
There’s no-more restless wondering.
...
There’s no-more restless wondering.
There’s no-more restless wondering.
‘cause I’m exactly... where… I want… to be…
