Lyrics at 3/26/23 -

I'm Still The Same InsideI'm Still The Same Inside
Intro
1
As I hear you say those tough words, (8)
that since I've changed, you don't really know me (10)
Your mind is playing tricks on you, (8)
Cause I'm really still the same inside (8)

Verses
2.
Just take a look into my eyes,(8)
I know you'd see the deeper me (9)

3
Who always loved every part of you (9)
who I believed would always be mine (9))

Refrain
4.
Then, why can't you see the real me (8)
Cause, I’m still the same inside (7)
Under it all (4)
Then please love me winter and fall (8)
And I sure will (4)
love you summer and spring (6)
Then try to love the real me (8)
Let's let God's grace (4)
make us whole (3)

Bridge
5.
Why don't you feel I'm still the same inside? (10)
If it helps, then close your eyes (7)
And listen to me say "I love you"(9)
until you feel that I'm still the same inside(10)

Verses
6.
Just hold my hand and I'll hold yours, (7)
Let's walk to where, there's no more fear (8)

7
And when some more, we'll find the place (9)
Where we love each other's happy face.(9)

Refrain
8.
I know that you will see the real me (9)
Cause I’m still the same inside (7)
 Under it all (4)
Then please love me winter and fall (8)
And I sure will love you summer and spring (7)
Until again we will become us (9)
We're both still the same inside(7)

Want to be your carousel girl

Ferris wheels, holding hands
it's all for free
Isn't life simply
a carousel journey?
Going round, up and down
Starting again and over again

Let me be the carousel girl
Whispering to a mixed-up world
See how rich your life could be

Riding ponies up and down
Lifted spirits all around

  to who you are
in the moonlight

"I Like Those Eyes" written by Fran Sisco (music and lyrics, with original melody) and Eric Jennings (chords mostly)
Copyright 2009 Fran Sisco and Eric Jennings.
This version:
David Patterson (vocals), Scott Pollack (piano), Joe Lee Henderson (bass, jazz guitar), Cliff Hackford (drums, percussion, production), Fran Sisco (arranger)

Intro
1. 
As I stare into this mirror
looking for what I like about me.
At first I find things are fine,
but then I see the other side.

Verses
2.
I like those eyes,
the way they shimmer
warmth from inside
out into the world.

3.
I like that smile,                
the way it simmers,       
just like a boy
with a pretty girl.

Refrain
4.
Then, why do I undo myself?
Making my brown eyes blue.
And drum up sadness 
when all I should do
is spread happiness.
Then why do I undo myself?
Only God knows for sure.
God must know 
just why this is.

Bridge
5.
Tell me why do I undo myself?
Just when it's all going right?
Tell me why do I undo myself?
turning my day into night.

Verses
6.
I like my heart,  
the way it splatters
love from my sleeve 
to people nearby.

7.
I like my mind,  
the way it matters
to get it right,
things of earth and sky.

Refrain
8.
Then, why do I undo myself?
And tell my heart today
to hold back love
when all I should do is be giving it away.
Then why do I undo myself?
Only God knows the plan.
God must know 
just who I am.

you on that train 
back then.

Your friend and I
talked all the while
you slept like
an angel.

It's good you're here with me
Please stay with me
throughout the night
We'll get it back
just hold me tight
Sweetheart,
We're meant to be

That's it, relax with me
Does this feel good?
you loved it once
Let's kiss some more,
Love's coming back
Sweetheart
We're meant to be

We are back in our same space
I couldn't help
but miss your face.
in that time
did you miss mine?
Our world is round again.

You are the one for me.
You came to me
from up above,
and stayed with me,
we grew our love.
Sweetheart,

I am the one for you.
You came to me
from down below,
and stayed with you,
we grew our love.
Sweetheart,
We're meant to be

We are back in our same space
I couldn't help
but miss your face.

Song message - As a parent sings a lullaby to their child, they realize that time is fleeting and these moments are precious and very special loving moments.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1
Parent to child: 
Tucking you to bed at night
in the glow of soft moonlight.
I get blue these days are few
with this lullaby.

2
Seeing you in this moonlight,
lifts my heart to a new height.
Lucky me to have this time
with you on this night.

3
Bridge:
But for this night,
I have your wide smile
and your bright eyes,
shining at me.
I now have you and
you have me.

4
Child to parent:
Moonlight comes in my window.
One more kiss and you should go.
But I'll see you in my dreams.
We'll fly moonlight beams.

5
Lullabies are just pitch and rhythm,
but when you sing,
gone are all my fears.
When you sing,
you bring heaven here.

6
Bridge:
Parent to child:
But for this night
I have your wide smile
and your bright eyes
shining at me.
I have you and
you have me.

7
Lullabies are hard to end.
Cuddling in the rainbow's bend.
Meet you on the other side.
What a lovely ride.

Song message - When you are not feeling well due to the "baby boomer blues," your loved ones can help lift you out of it.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
LYRICS:
A. Intro:
1
This is the story
about the day,
when I was helped
to shake away
my baby boomer blues.
2
Maybe you can
feel how my pain
just slipped away,
and then you'll know how to lose
your baby boomer blues.

B. Verses:
3
Woke up this morning,
couldn't get out of my bed.
Pain in my neck,
worse in my head.
I said - I'm in pain. Not the same.
Got to fix it. Got to fix it.
4
Went to the chiropractor's place,
stood there before him
aching neck in a brace.
I said I'm in pain. Not the same.
Make me better. Make me better.

C. Chorus:
5. He said: "You got the 'just can't shake 'em" baby boomer blues.
(baby boomer, baby boomer)
The just can't shake 'em" baby boomer blues.
(baby boomer, baby boomer)
In a tight knot from your hair
down to your shoes.
Baby boomer blues.

D. Verses:
6
Went back to the office.
Ten calls to phone back.
Was in no mood to use any tact,
I said - Don't give me stress. 
I must work less.
Got to quit this. Got to get blitzed.

D. Verses:
7
Back at the house
my daughter and the spouse
said the world they see,
that it's fine to be.
I said I'm OK. 
Brand new day.
Things are groovy. 
Let's watch a movie.

C. Chorus:
8
I shook the "just can't shake 'em baby boomer blues."
The "just can't shake them baby boomer blues"
No more tight knot
from my hair
down to my shoes.
Baby boomer blues.

D. Guitar solo:
9
I'm okay.
The blues have gone away.
No more baby.
No more.

E. Chorus
10
I shook the "just can't shake them baby boomer blues."
(baby boomer, baby boomer)
The "just can't shake them baby boomer blues"
(baby boomer, baby boomer)
No more tight knot
from my hair
down to my shoes.
Baby boomer blues.

Lyrics:

Part 1. Introduction:
A 
Your eyes were closed
when I first saw 
you on that train 
back then.

B
Your friend and I
talked all the while
you slept like
an angel.

Part 2 - Refrain
A. Sweetheart,
It's good you're here with me
Please stay with me
throughout the night
We'll get it back
just hold me tight
Sweetheart,
We're meant to be

B. Sweetheart,
That's it, relax with me
Does this feel good?
you loved it once
Let's kiss some more,
Love's coming back
Sweetheart
We're meant to be

Part 3 - Bridge:
We are back in our same space
I couldn't help
but miss your face.
in that time
did you miss mine?
Our world is round again.

Part 4 - Refrain:
A. Sweetheart,
You are the one for me.
You came to me
from up above,
and stayed with me,
we grew our love.
Sweetheart,
We're meant to be

B. Sweetheart,
I am the one for you.
You came to me
from down below,
and stayed with you,
we grew our love.
Sweetheart,
We're meant to be

Part 5 - Closing:
We are back in our same space
I couldn't help
but miss your face.
in that time
did you miss mine?
Our world is round again.
Our world is round again.
Sweetheart, we're meant to be.

So Glad you're my daughter. Do you remember this song I once sange to you.
Father or mother to daughter:
Tucking you to bed at night
in the glow of soft moonlight,
I get blue these days are few
with this lullaby.

Seeing you in this moonlight,
lifts my heart to a new height.
Lucky me to have this time
with you on this night.

Bridge:
But for this night
I have your wide smile
and your bright eyes
shining at me.
I now have you and
you have me.

And you sang to me.
Daughter to father or mother:
Moonlight comes in my window.
One more kiss Dad and you should go.
But I'll see you in my dreams.
We'll fly moonlight beams.

Lullabies are just pitch and rhythm,
but when you sing,
gone are all my fears.
When you sing Dad
you bring all of heaven here.

Bridge:
But for this night
I have your wide smile
and your bright eyes
shining at me.
I now have you and
you have me.

Lullabies are hard to end.
Cuddling in the rainbow's bend.
Meet you on the other side.
What a lovely ride.
