-----LYRICS-----
Such a wonderful day 
A beautiful world 
And a marvellous life
And I’m so glad I’m here 
Sailing with you
Sharing the sun and embracing the blue

Such a wonderful day
With you by my side
As we’re sweeping the sea
And if life were an ocean
For you and me
We’d be seagulls flying free

When I’m with you
Every day is summer time
When I’m with you
I feel like running up Everest and touching the sky

Such a wonderful day
A beautiful world
And a marvellous life
And right here and now
This moment is gold
You, me, sunshine and adventure all align

[Interlude]

When I’m with you
Every day is summer time
When I’m with you
I feel like running up Everest and touching the sky

Such a wonderful day
A beautiful world
And a marvellous life
And right here and now
This moment is gold
You, me, sunshine and adventure all align

In every way
 Today is a wonderful day

Brighter Than Any Star
©2013 Noel Adams, words and music, all rights reserved

If my world stopped turning tomorrow
I'd go to God, a happy soul
Like the sun, you have chased away the shadows
You shone your light when I was cold
Your light was gold

[CHORUS]
Please don't change a single thing about you
You're perfect as you are
I know that I have never known such brilliance
Your love shines brighter than any star

I sometimes wonder where I'd be without you
Could I have come so far alone?
I am strong because I walk along beside you
You're always there to share the road
To share the load

[CHORUS]

There's nothing more I want
Nothing more I need
You are the world to me

[CHORUS] 

Brighter Than Any Star

This Is The Life For Me
© 2014 Noel Adams. All rights reserved

Sitting here fishing at the river's edge
The sound of nothing fills my head
I got a sun that's shining, warm and yellow
I count myself a lucky fellow

CHORUS
This is the life for me
It's all that I need
Yeah this is the life for me
This is the life for me

I got a girl I love and when she sits beside me
Head on my shoulder, hand on my knee
Her touch is electric, my spirit soars
Who could ever ask for anything more?
 
CHORUS

I don't want to live for millions and millions of years
I only want to be happy with what I've got right here

VERSE 1
Here you are standing there
Glistening golden hair and your face is like the sun 
Shining bright, warming everyone
Your laughing heals my heart, mending our days apart 
I’ve always thought it true
I was born to love you

CHORUS
I... I will love you till the end of time
Now and forever, I’ll run with you till the end of time
As the wheel of life keeps turning 
And rolls us through our lives
It’s you and me and destiny 
And a fate we can’t deny
Now we meet again
We meet again

VERSE 2
Our paths are intertwined
They weave and wend and wind and trekking from day to day
We’re babes in the arms of come what may
With relics from a Celtic shrine that bend heaven’s design
We journey unrestrained 
No longer bound by mortal chains

CHORUS

BRIDGE
In a thousand years, we’ve lived a dozen lifetimes
And although we die, somehow, somewhere, somewhen, 
Some magic brings us back again
Oh…

Till The End Of Time

===== Lyrics =====
[A]	
If Life sometimes knocks you down
Get up and get going
Don’t surrender with a groan or a frown
Get up and get going

A broken plate can be glued together
And re-built stronger than before
It’s the same when you overcome the upsets of Life
You’re stronger, tougher and can do more

[A´]
Scars of experience are badges of pride
So… get up and get going
Meet the world with a confident stride
Never give in and you’ll travel far

[C]
The seeds of success are yours to sow
Determination makes them grow
So whenever you tumble
Get up and get going

LYRICS
-------
It’s been seven years since last I saw you
And still my eyes cry when I think about you leaving 
Seven years since last I saw you 
And still I find, you fill my mind and I still miss you 

Since you went away, it seems a lifetime 
So many seasons have come and gone so slowly
Seven years have seemed a lifetime
And night and day, I quietly prayed while hoping you could hear me

[Solo]

Though now I walk alone, I carry memories
You were my sunshine and you filled my world with wonder
And for seven years, I’ve been so thankful
I know for sure, for evermore, I shall always love you
Yes for sure and for evermore, I shall always love you
I’ll always… never stop loving you

LYRICS

A dazzling orange horizon
A friendly shimmering sun
And the leaves on the trees
Dancing in the breeze 
Like they're really having fun
They remind me of being with you  
And all the smiles you send my way
I'm so thankful you walk beside me
Every single day

You're the bounce in my footstep
You're the rhythm in my heart
So wherever I go
I am not alone
We're never far apart
I'm always thinking of things that you do
And all the smiles you send my way
I'm so thankful you walk beside me
Every single day

This road through life is a highway paved with mystery
It's true
There are potholes, bumps, and twists and turns galore
Through it all, you are there traveling with me
Every mile
A GPS that steers me safe and sure

And as I tackle this journey
...(And as I tackle this journey)
From beginning to end
 ...(From beginning to end)
I know whatever befalls me
Stops me or stalls me
You're my forever friend
Tomorrow's bursting with sparkle and shine 
And all the smiles you send my way
I'm so thankful you walk beside me
Every single day

I'm so thankful you walk beside me
...(I'm thankful you walk beside me)
Every single day

Every Single Day (Natalie & Kevin)

LYRICS
--------
I can stroll across a hillside and sunshine warms my face
Mama, thank you
And when I watch an eagle gliding, I see beauty, strength and grace
Oh Mama, thank you
Without you, these joys would never be
You gave me the way I live and love my life
And a happy outlook that keeps me striding straight and tall
Your gifts of love
I’m so thankful for them all

From the moment I was planted, you kept me safe and warm
Mama, thank you
And all those months you grew me until it was time for being born
Oh Mama, thank you
Because of you, I am who I am
You gave me endless love with all your might
And when I needed courage, you held me tight so I would not fall
Your gifts of love
I’m so thankful for them all

And I like to think that in a hundred years from now
Our souls will be together, sailing free
Exploring galaxies
Chasing stars
And unraveling the mysteries of eternity

Every day I marvel at this world that’s all around me
Mama, I thank you
Whichever way I turn, the incredible surrounds me
Oh Mama, I thank you
Because of you, I can walk this mighty Earth
You gave me a heart that beats with joy and peace
That's full of dreams and free to follow tomorrow’s call
And you gave me life
That is the best gift of all

Oh Mama, you gave me Life
The most wonderful gift of all

The Best Gift Of All

[INTRO]
Hey, you in the mirror! Come on and...

[A1]
Rise and shine
There’s a new day beginning
Rise and shine
Get out and get sprinting
There’s no time to waste
So rev-up some haste
Just pump up your bravado and ready, set, go!

[A2]
Oh, rise and shine
The world is not waiting
Rise and shine
Be bold and embrace it
Unlock your potential
And become presidential 
Come on! Rise and shine

[B]
Don’t worry if you feel a bit crumpled and broken
And the future looks bleak because the present is woeful
Once you get moving
You get things improving and then, hey presto!
It’s go, go, go

[A3]
So rise and shine
And keep fearlessly striving
Rise and shine
And dazzle like lightning
Get out there and play, now
It’s a thrilling new day, now
Come on! Rise and shine

[SOLO]

Repeat [B], [A3]

[TAG]
Yeah, get out there and play
It’s a thrilling new day
So rise, rise, rise and shine

=== LYRICS ===

[A1]
A full moon is rising big and bright
It’s begging for you and me to share its light
And to step outside and make some fun
So what do you say?
Come on

[A2]
Let’s meander down the avenue
Just me and you and a path for two
There’s plenty to do and the night is young
So what do you say?
Come on

[Bridge]
Out there, neon signs are dancing
It’s a carnival of colour and wow 
It is entrancing

[A3]
Adventure waits for you and me
So share some thrills and keep me company
Just grab your smile and let’s get gone
So what do you say?
Come on 

[Instrumental for a tap dancing duo in the style of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers]

[Bridge (2)]
Tonight, the moonlight seems to be calling
It’s like magic fills the air 
And it is enthralling

[A3 (2)]
A night of nights waits for you and me 
Let’s enjoy being footloose and fancy free
Just pack-up and lock-up and let’s get gone
So what do you say?
What do you say-yay? Hey come on

[TAG]
Pack-up and lock-up and let’s get gone
So what do you say?
What do you say?
Hey! Take a break
It’ll be worth it
Trust me, you’ll love it
I promise
Come on

===LYRICS===

[VERSE 1]
I have sailed the seven oceans 
And seen a million different things
From the mighty fjords of Norway
To the cherry blossom that crowns Japan in spring
And from Singapore to Sydney
From Montreal to Rome
I've never found another place 
There's never been another place that's like my home

[CHORUS]
My home
Quietly calling me
She gently beckons me with memories of all I left behind
My home
Wherever I go
Thoughts of her rest easy on my mind

[VERSE 2]
This life’s a game of snakes and ladders
That never seems to end
There are times I climb and conquer 
And there are times I slip and slide and start again
But these things I am sure of
My dreams are all my own
And nothing warms a frosty night
Nor brings me peace of mind like thoughts of home

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
And I know that some day, I will heed the call and sail homeward bound
My heart will have its way and I’ll return one day

[CHORUS]

[TAG]
Oh, every place I go
Thoughts of home are easy on my mind

My Home

Just A Little After Midnight
(Happy Birthday)

Just a little after midnight
Earth was several summers younger
That's the instant when it all began
It was your time to arrive
Glad to be alive

Just a little after midnight
Street lights flickered through the window
It's a moment that heaven won't forget
You awakened like the dawn
That night when you were born

Around the room, faces were smiling
Glistening eyes were everywhere
In those early hours that miracle morning 
You were the answer to a prayer

Just a little after midnight
When all the town was quietly sleeping
Like an angel wrapped in glory from above
Shining bright as summer sun
You brought hope and joy to everyone

Happy birthday
Welcome to a whole new year
Time continues to march along
Let's celebrate being here

Happy birthday
May all of your dreams come true
Close your eyes, make a wish
Happy birthday to you

May every dream come true 
Happy birthday to you

Just A Little After Midnight (Happy Birthday)

How do I love thee?
Let me count the ways
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach
When feeling out of sight
Searching for the end of being and ideal grace 

How do I love thee?
It’s a pleasure to contemplate
I love thee by the sun and moon and light from all the stars
That fill the sky at night
Twinkling like fireflies as though it’s us they celebrate

I love thee freely
I love thee purely and as day follows day 
I love thee securely
Thou are my reason to carry on when darkness comes
And all light is gone

How do I love thee?
Thy strength makes me brave
And I love thee with my breath and smiles and tears and all I am
Then when time disappears
With the grace of God, I’ll love thee best beyond the grave
Free from earthly chains

I love thee freely
I love thee purely and as day follows day 
I love thee securely
Thou are my reason to carry on when darkness comes
And all the light is gone

How do I love thee?
Thy strength makes me brave
And I love thee with my breath and smiles and tears and all I am
Then when time disappears
With the grace of God, I’ll love thee best beyond the grave
Free from earthly chains

Sailing the seas of eternity
Thee and me and eternity
Thee and me

How Do I Love Thee?

Maybe tomorrow 
This ocean will be blue again
Ripples will be glistening 
Sailors will be whistling
And my heart will shine like new again

[A2]
Maybe tomorrow
The heavens won’t be looking forsaken
No more clouds of sadness
Just yellow rays of gladness 
To heal me and help hope awaken

[B]
Yesterday overflowed with laughter
You were there 
Smiles were everywhere
But now today, the sea I sail is lonely
And my heart longs for repair

[A3]
Maybe tomorrow
I will understand my role in our story
If I can figure out my karma
Then maybe I will know
Maybe tomorrow

Fly Around In The Clouds
©2025 Noel Adams, words and music, all rights reserved

=== LYRICS ===
I would rather be happy
I would rather be glad
I’d rather be feeling thrilled and excited instead of feeling so sad
One day we will be dancing
And we’ll be laughing out loud
But right now all that I want to do is fly around in the clouds with you

You opened the door and waved goodbye
And then you stepped out into the rain
I blew a kiss and waved right back and said see you later, my friend
But life often surprises one when everything is going fine
I didn’t know then, no, I didn’t then 
That life had other plans in mind

I would rather be happy
I would rather be glad
I’d rather be feeling thrilled and excited instead of feeling so sad
One day we will be dancing
And we’ll be laughing out loud
But right now all that I want to do is fly around in the clouds with you

I wish I’d known you’d be leaving before me
And I’d be left here walking alone
Your quirky smile is now like a story fading from a time long ago
Can you reserve that famous cloud nine so we can run around and play?
‘Cause one thing’s for sure, yes, one thing’s for sure 
I’m counting on seeing you again some day

I would rather be happy
I would rather be glad
I’d rather be feeling thrilled and excited instead of feeling so sad
One day we will be dancing
And we’ll be laughing out loud
But right now all that I want to do is fly around in the clouds with you

With all my heart, I pray that we'll meet again
And we will fly around in the clouds until god knows when

LYRICS
<<<<>>>>
Can you imagine a scene like this?
We're standing with one another, side by side
And singing together in harmony
With confidence, heart and a mountain of pride

Can you imagine a sound like this?
An ocean of people who sway and sing
In chorus together, friend with friend
Making the heavens reverberate and ring

It all begins with a single voice
One voice to lead the way
Sooner or later another joins in
Then it starts to grow
And hundreds join the show

Can you imagine the power and strength
If a world full of people were singing strong
Flooding the planet in the sounds of peace
And everyone singing the same song

[Instrumental]

It all begins with a single voice
One voice to lead the way
Sooner or later another joins in
Then it starts to grow
And millions join the show

Can you imagine the power and strength
If a world full of nations were singing strong
Flooding the planet in the sounds of peace
And everyone singing the same song
Everyone singing the same song

Can You Imagine

"Oh! Susanna" was first published in 1848. Written by Stephen Foster (1826-1864), the song is now in the realm of public domain. This particular arrangement uses the Baroque music technique of counterpoint to build an instrumental duet. The continuo backing is provided by a Pop/Country style using PG Music's Band In A Box.

LYRICS

Sometimes I walk alone
But it's not a lonely road
I share my path with all that's been
From snow to sea and sand
I'm walking through a wonderland
That's what I believe

Somewhere it's drizzling rain
Somewhere it's breaking day
Somewhere a wind is bending trees
This world's a miracle
Magnificent and wonderful
That's what I believe

And when the night is dark and I can see a million stars
I like to sit and watch and feel the peace and calm
Wherever I turn, when I look around
An ancient mystery shields and shelters me
	
In this whole universe 
There's just a single Earth
And she is beautiful and free
A gift of godly grace
For Life to travel time and space
That's what I believe 

[Instrumental]

I like walking beside you
Did you know
You’re the get up and go
That begins my every day?

Oh I like walking beside you
As if we’re sailing the seas
With life as our breeze
We travel through come what may

And when the day spins upside down
And smile swings to frown
You always seem to find a happy song
We can sing and then thing’s are okay

Oh I like walking beside you
This journey’s the best
I know I’ve been blessed
Travelling with you day by day

You and me caught in the rain
Soaked to the bone, big old grins
My heart is pounding with a capital P
Old Gene Kelly's got nothing on me
It doesn't get better than this
What a crazy thing love is

You got me howling like a dog at the moon
Laughing out loud, crazy as a loon
Head over heels, a little do-si-do
All because of you, I want the world to know
It doesn't get better than this
What a crazy thing love is

Oh what a feeling
Now who would believe
Dizzy and giddy from a guy like me
It hits you hard, takes you by surprise and it's good
Real good
So unbelievably good

Adam and Eve or Bogie and Bacall
It's all about love after all
Add to that list, you and me
Let's do this thing permanently
It doesn't get better than this
What a crazy thing love is

[Instrumental]

Oh what a feeling

LYRICS
Through the leaves and branches
Look at all that sunshine
A new tomorrow and it’s breaking free
You know, like the rising sun
You are so beautiful to me

When I’m on my own
Just me and memories
I’m usually smiling ‘cause you’re all I see
You know, like the rising sun
You are so beautiful to me 

I don’t know what each new day will bring for us
What surprise will knock-knock-knock at the door
But as long as you’re beside me skies are blue for us
And life is true for us
Come sunshine, rain or storm

On all this planet
So vast and awesome
It’s here with you that I choose to be
You know, like the rising sun
You are so beautiful, so remarkable
You’re the sunshine that makes my day
You are so beautiful to me

So Beautiful

Summer moon sitting quietly in the night 
Are you listening to the songs I sing?
I’m so thankful for the journey I’m trav’ling
This gift of life, what an amazing thing!

I don’t know where my shoes are going to tread
Nor the tumbles tomorrow might bring 
But I’m thankful for the journey I’m trav’ling
This gift of life, what an amazing thing!

And when you sprinkle the world with moonlight from high in heaven 
You show me how lucky I am
This adventure on earth which I can enjoy for a while
Wherever I look
There’s plenty to make me smile

Summer moon, today is all I need
I awaken ev’ry morning as rich as a king
Ever thankful for the journey I’m trav’ling
This gift of life, what an amazing thing!

This gift of life, what an amazing thing!
Oh, such an amazing thing

LYRICS
<<<<>>>>
A full moon rising big and bright
It’s begging for you and me to share its light
And to step outside and make some fun
So what do you say
Come on

Let’s meander down the avenue
I bet we’ll find us a surprise or two
There’s plenty to do and the night is young
So what do you say
Come on

Out there, neon signs are dancing
It’s a carnival of colour and wow! 
It’s entrancing

A night of nights waits for you and me 
And I really would love to share your company 
Just grab a smile and let’s get gone
So what do you say 
Come on 

[Instrumental]

Out there, neon signs are dancing
It’s a carnival of colour and wow! 
It’s entrancing

A night of nights waits for you and me 
And I really would love to share your company
Just grab a smile and let’s get gone 
So what do you say
Come on

Come on just grab a smile and let’s get gone
So what do you say
What do you say
Take a break
Time out 
It’ll be worth it 
Hey, come on

What Do You Say?

------Lyrics------
In the still of this gentle night
You silently sleep 
May angels in heaven
Keep watch over thee
Dream all your precious dreams
Let cares drift and fade
And sail the seas of slumber
As you journey on your way

Because of you, my days are brighter
Gladness floods my mind
And the smiles I keep growing
Were they wings, I would fly
Tomorrow dances ‘round you
A promise of what’s to come
I hope that life is gracious
And that you’ll out-shine the sun 

You fill my heart full of wonder and laughter
And you lift me high with joy

INSTRUMENTAL

In the still of this gentle night
You silently sleep 
May angels in heaven
Keep watch over thee
Dream all your precious dreams
Let cares drift and fade
And sail the seas of slumber
As you journey on your way

[CHORUS]
And as you wander the world 
May each day bring you a smile
May the sun shine brighter than a million stars 
And may your travels be ever worthwhile
And where you go
Row with the flow and sail free as the wind
Give it your all my friend
These days don’t come again

On this journey called life 
The clocks tick way too quickly
And time flies by
Days grow to months, months grow to years
People come and go, tomorrow disappears, so be swift
Get ready to shine and enjoy life like it’s a fine wine

[CHORUS]

Remember, stay walking tall and proud
You’re the captain of keeping happy
So let nothing drag you down
Now your future is awake with adventure on its plate 
Seize every chance, don’t hesitate and with no regrets
Run far and wide and fly higher than the blue sky

[CHORUS]

[TAG]
Where you go 
Row with the flow and sail free as the wind
My friend, these days do not come again
No they don’t again
These days don’t come again

These Days Don't Come Again

======LYRICS======
In fourteen ninety two
Captain Christopher Columbus
Had a dream about unrav'ling the ocean's mysteries
There were people who said he was crazy
But he had a hunger
And he sailed the Atlantic becoming an icon of history
Be who you gotta be
Go where you gotta go
Follow your dreams

[CHORUS]
Dare to dream the impossible
Chase that pot of gold to the end every rainbow
Dare to dream the impossible
Dreams make tomorrow

The road through life has bound'ries
The cradle and grave
And a day is only twenty four hours long 
Dreams are a diesel engine
They power the way
And they push pioneers up mountains and make them strong 
Be who you gotta be
Go where you gotta go
Follow your dreams

[CHORUS]

Computers, clocks, cars
Aren't they dreams come true?
Once a man called Armstrong
Even walked across the moon

[CHORUS]

-------Lyrics-------
Let’s keep walking, don’t run
Take one step at a time
I need to slow me down and chill my mind 
Are we crazy? Who knows 
My thinking’s in a swing
Some to and fro confusions are lingering 
Now we’ve shattered bound’ries 
We’re as free as a summer breeze
Once you told me, open your mind
Watch a hundred possibilities unwind

Best friends to accidental lovers
Who’d have thought it? 
I never dreamt of this 
From best friends to accidental lovers 
With new beginnings on the move 
The future shines for me and you 

What’s done is done, that’s life
And tho’ change is often strange
No way can we re-live yesterday
So rest easy, relax 
Let’s disappear our fears 
And build us new tomorrows like pioneers 
And if we meet life’s oceans
We should sail them with all we’re worth
And together, let’s reach for the stars
No matter how high or how hard or how far 

Best friends to accidental lovers
Who’d have thought it?
I never dreamt of this 
From best friends to accidental lovers 
With new beginnings on the move 
The future shines for me and you 

So let’s make the most of this train ride of life
It’s only one way
And from jumping on board until stepping down
Adventure is a million opportunities waiting for all who dare

Best friends to accidental lovers
Who’d have thought it?
I never dreamt of this 
From best friends to accidental lovers 
With new beginnings on the move
And life keeps chugging along
The future shines brighter than the sun for me and you
Me and you

Accidental Lovers

------Lyrics------
When it's dark
Or when it's cold
My arms are here to hold you
I swear
I will always be there

If you fall
And need a friend
I'll pick you up and mend you
I swear
I will always be there 

Together, we are music
I’m rhythm and you are song 
When we dance
Can you feel it? 
In your arms is where I belong

Just you and me
Let’s run and play
Let’s chase forever all the way
As long as Earth keeps turning  
I swear 
I’ll always be there

[interlude]   

Together, we are music
I’m rhythm and you are song 
When we dance
Can you feel it? 
In your arms is where I belong

Just you and me 
Let’s run and play
Let’s chase forever all the way
And as heaven is my witness
I cross my heart  
I promise you
That where we go and what we do
As long as Earth keeps turning 
I swear, I swear  
I’ll always be there

I Will Always Be There

For me, songwriting is a puzzle. I keep at it day after day after day. And eventually all the twisting and turning with words and rhymes morphs something worth smiling about.
