It feels good to be the one that you want
When all I want is you
It feels good to be the one that you want
When all I want is you

When I first saw
You come across the room
And then you saw me
Did not know what to do

I tried to play it cool
And attach no strings
But by the end of the day 
I needed the whole thing

It feels good to be the one that you want
When all I want is you
It feels good to be the one that you want
When all I want is you

You see I knew right then
That this could last so long
I went home that night
I wrote my first love song

And as the days went by
I knew I had it made
Well, you could try to pretend
Your smile gave it away

It feels good to be the one that you want
When all I want is you
It feels good to be the one that you want
When all I want is you

And now here we are
How could we ever know?
I knew I loved you then
And I've watched you grow

And so it came to be
That I raised you and you raised me
We're lucky that way
Because our love can never fade

No, our love can never fade
Our love will never fade
Our love can never fade

It feels good to be the one that you want
When all I want is you
Never fade
It feels good to be the one that you want
When all I want is you
Never fade
All I want is you
Never fade
All I want is you
Never fade
When all I want is you

From Here To Now To You

Never Fade

Well, your mama made you pretty
And your mama made you sweet
Your daddy gave you daydreams
And more cushion in your seat
Your mama gave you those windows 
To your beautiful soul
Your daddy’s got more love for you 
Than you could ever know

You remind me of you
Yes you do now
You remind me of you
Yes you do

Well your mama made a promise 
That your daddy’s gonna keep
Forever’s how long 
Your mama’s going to love your… 
Daddy made you messy 
And your mama made you neat
Forever’s how long your daddy’s gonna love your…
Mama made a clone 
So she won’t be alone
When the boys and me are getting 
So out of control

You remind me of you
Yes you do now
You remind me of you
Yes you do

When you cry, when you cry
Well your mama’s gonna dry your eyes
When you cry, when you cry
Well your mama’s gonna dry your eyes
And your daddy’s surely gonna try
But only mama’s gonna dry your eyes
But your daddy’s surely gonna try

You Remind Me Of You

Just when you were getting used to this place
You were getting used to these bones
You were getting used to the changes
Well the change won’t leave you alone

You finally caught up with the pace
The tough just might have got going
You thought you could trust all the faces 
Well they’re only on one side of the coin  

All these changes
Different stages
Turning page after page after page
It gets stranger day by day

Set your eyes straight up ahead
Don’t look down when you cross
And pay no mind to time it’s a punch line
The joke is on all of us

All these changes
Different stages
Turning page after page after page
It gets stranger day by day

Change

I've got to get home 
There's a garden to tend  All the fruit’s on the ground
The birds have all moved back Into my attic 
Whistle then static 
The young learn to fly 
I will patch up the holes once again  

Well I can't believe that my lime tree is dead
 I thought it was sleeping
I guess it got fed up with not being fed 
I would be too I keep food in my belly 
And hope that my time isn't soon  

So I try to understand
What I can't hold in my hand A
nd whatever I find
I’ll find my way back to you 
And if you could try to find it too 
Because this place is overgrown
 It’s a waxing moon 

Home is wherever we are 
If there's love here too  
In the back of my house 
There’s a trail that won't end
 We went walking so far 
It grew back in  
And now there's no trail at all
Only grass growing taller 
Get out my machete
And battle with time once again
 But I'm bound to lose
Because I'll be damned if time don't win

  I got to get home 
There's a garden to tend 
All the seeds from the fruit 
Buried and begin 
Their own family trees 
Teach them thank you and please
 Spread their own roots 
Then watch the young fruit grow again 
This old trail 
Will lead me right back to where it begins

  So I try to understand
What I can't hold in my hand 
And whatever I find
I’ll find my way back to you 
And if you could try to find it too 
Because this place is overgrown
 It’s a waxing moon

 Home is wherever we are 
If there's love here too
 Home is wherever we are 
If there's love here too
Home is wherever we are 
If there's love here too

Words and Music by Joseph Arthur 
August 12th, 2014

You started out on Ork
A cosmic jet fueled dork
And I would love it when you 
Visited us on happy days
Only you could know
The witness of your show
A brain made up of sadness
And electric rays
Good morning Vietnam
Must've been your truest song
For in you was a war you'd always wage
The hunting of good will
The laughs would never fill
Your hunger for the dream
To turn the page

Oh Robin you flew
And now robin you fly
To places we can't see or yet conceive 
The joy that you gave
We know now was brave
To be free and yet 
remain still a slave

The fisher king was you
Those of us never knew
That your demons hadn't yet been tamed
You hid in the storm
Of laughter so warm
Hard to see that the source
Was still maimed 
Awakenings will come
But the sadness goes on
And age will come down on us all
The dead poets you loved
Wrote of it as they shoved
Light into the darkness of the fall

Oh Robin you flew
And now robin you fly
To places we can't see or yet conceive 
The joy that you gave
We know now was brave
To be free and yet remain 
still a slave
