Chorus
Let’s play together
It’s always better
To share whenever we can 
A little bit of mine with a little bit of yours  
And we both have more than we had 

Verse
I got a ball so let’s play catch
I’ll throw it to you, you throw it back
Toss it up high and watch it fall
I like this game where we share a ball

Chorus
That’s how we do it
There’s nothing to it
Sharing is so much fun 
A little bit of mine with a little bit of yours  
And we both have more when we’re done 

Verse
You have some paints and I have a brush
Let’s make a picture for both of us
You paint a sky and I’ll paint some birds
I like to paint when we take turns

Chorus
That’s how we do it
There’s nothing to it
Sharing is so much fun 
A little bit of yours with a little bit of mine  
And we both have more when we’re done

Chorus
Wake up, it’s a beautiful day
Hey sleepy head, get out of bed 
Wake up, it’s a beautiful day
It’s time for you to rise and shine 

Verse
We can have breakfast, a glass of juice and eat a tall stack of pancakes
Play in the park just me and you
Hide and seek or Simon Says 
Wake up, it’s a beautiful day
It’s time for you to rise and shine 

Chorus
Wake up, it’s a beautiful day
The sun’s so bright, not a cloud in the sky 
Wake up, it’s a beautiful day
It’s time for you to rise and shine 

Verse
We can take a walk and skip some stones down at the old mill pond
Head into town and get an ice cream cone and pile the sprinkles on and on 
Wake up, it’s a beautiful day
It’s time for you to rise and shine 

Bridge
The whole wide world is waiting for you to finally come outside
C’mon let’s go, there’s a lot to do
The only thing you need is a smile 

Chorus
Wake up, it’s a beautiful day
Put on your clothes and off we go  
Wake up, it’s a beautiful day
It’s time for you to rise and shine

It’s time for you to rise and shine

Wake Up

Verse
You can fly way up high like a bird in the sky, ride a rainbow and find where it came from
With your feet on the ground, you can soar through the clouds
All you need is imagination

You could go to the moon on a big red balloon in a bright silver suit like an alien 
And eat green cheese with the moon kids you meet
All you need is imagination

Chorus
Close your eyes, throw your arms out wide and picture what you want to do
A box is a castle, a towel’s a cape, a ruler’s a wand, it’s up to you

Verse
Would you like to explore the deep ocean floor, see the fish and the whales and crustaceans?  
In your own submarine you can watch everything
All you need is imagination

If you rode on a horse with a shield and a sword and rescued a lost fairy maiden 
To repay what you did, she could grant you a wish
All you need is imagination

Chorus
Close your eyes, throw your arms out wide and picture what you want to do
A stool is a spaceship, two chairs are a plane, a pan is a drum, it’s up to you

Verse
You could lead the way in your own parade on a float that is shaped like a dragon 
Marching right behind are a million fireflies
All you need is imagination
All you need is imagination
All you need is imagination

Imagination

Lyric & Music: Kevin Reardon     

Chorus
Hey, let’s go off to the playground
All our friends will be there, too
Hey, let’s go, it’s time to play now
Fun for me and you

Verse
My favorite thing is the merry-go-round
It spins fast, hang on tight 
I like the slide and the monkey bars, and the tire tube swing that goes so high
Hey, let’s go off to the playground
Fun for me and you 

Chorus
Hey, let’s go down to the beach
Build sand castles by the sea 
Hey, let’s go, it’s going to be fun for you and me

Verse
Put on our swim suit, pack a lunch
Mom’s in the car and ready to roll
The sun is shining, the waves are small
I hope the water’s not too cold
Hey, let’s go down to the beach
Fun for you and me

Chorus
Hey, let’s go up in my treehouse
Climb the ladder, don’t look down
Hey, let’s go up in the tree tops
Fun above the ground

Verse
We’ll make new friends when the birds stop by to chirp in the branches far above 
If we see a nest, be real quiet
We don’t want to wake the baby birds up
Hey, let’s go up in my treehouse
Fun above the ground

Outro
Hey, let’s go to the treehouse, playground, and beach
Fun for you and me 
Hey, let’s go

Hey Let's Go

Verse 
Red Bird in the sunset
Crying in twilight 
I can hear you sing your sad song
Will the daylight make it right?
Keep singing Red Bird 
Ah ah ah ah ah 
Don’t fly away tonight

Red Bird far away from home
Flying in the night
For so long you’ve sung a sad song 
Could a new sky ease your mind? 
Keep singing Red Bird 
Ah ah ah ah ah ooh
Don’t fly away tonight

Verse 
Red Bird over fields of grain
Blessed by rain and shine
You never chose to sing a sad song 
Let the earth give you it’s life
Keep singing Red Bird 
Don’t fly away
Ah ah ah ah ah  
Don’t fly away tonight
Ah ah ah ah ah  

Verse 
Red Bird on the water’s edge
Reach out for the light
You don’t have to sing a sad song
Live in hearts you left behind
Keep singing Red Bird 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Don’t fly away tonight

You gave me purpose and hope 
I can’t express all you mean to me now but I’ll try
Cause I want you to know

Lyric: Kevin Reardon & Bobby Joe Peace; Music: Kevin Reardon 

Verse  
Yesterday I drove the gravel road to the house where I was raised  
We moved away when I was twelve but I never forgot that place
Growing up we didn’t have much but our house was full of love
My folks both had to work and they made sure we had enough
It wasn’t much to look at with a creaky old front porch
But to us it was our castle, never needed nothing more  
We took care of each other, stood tall with what we owned 
So, I bought it and I’m moving back and I’m proud to call it home
I’m proud to call it home 

Verse 
Then I got back in my truck, drove down the old main street 
Some storefront names have changed and there’s a brand-new factory
My old town went through tough times, jobs up and went away
But folks were just mule stubborn, wouldn’t give up on this place
From ashes, rust and dust, they brought it back to life
But some things there were lost, progress claims its price 
Now I live here once again, gonna give back what I owe
We’re building our town’s tomorrow and I’m proud to call it home 
I’m proud to call it home

Bridge
I travel for my job all across this big ol’ land 
Meet people of every race and creed, doing all they can
I see towns like mine renewed with self-less sacrifice 
A time to every purpose, folks doing what is right
 
Verse 
So, when I hear some people saying there’s something wrong with the USA
I don’t see that we have lost our edge or that we’ve lost our way 
I can’t deny there’s work to do, we all got to play our part
But I know we’ll pull together from the strength within our hearts
Whether city, town, ranch or farm, no better place on earth  
With the freedom to believe and our belief that freedom works 
So, I’ll shout it from the rooftops, let the whole world know
Our USA is here to stay and I’m proud to call it home
Yeah, I’m proud to call it home 

Outro
It’s great to live in the USA
Great to live in the USA, great to live in the USA and I’m proud to call it home
It’s great to live in the USA
Great to live in the USA, great to live in the USA and I’m proud to call it home

Proud To Call It Home

Verse
I heard you found somebody new 
Who makes you feel love is real the way I used to 
I know you tried to save our love
But I couldn’t see all you meant to me 

Chorus
I let U go
I was so blind I let U go
And I died inside when you said goodbye but I let U go
I should have begged you to stay, swallowed my pride but I didn’t and now you’re gone  
Time can’t change the truth
I was a fool when I let U go 

Verse
I got confused lost in work 
Thought you’d always be there for me but I put a job first 
You only wanted to share our love 
Now you’ve gone away and it’s all too late

Chorus
I let U go
I was so blind I let U go
And I died inside when you said goodbye but I let U go
I should have begged you to stay, swallowed my pride but I didn’t and now you’re gone  
Time can’t change the truth
I was a fool when I let U go 

Bridge
I’ll never stop being torn up inside, but my heart still wishes you well 
You’ll always be a part of my life but when you left, I lost part of myself

Chorus
Oh, I let U go
I was so blind I let U go
And I died inside when you said goodbye but I let U go
I should have begged you to stay, swallowed my pride but I didn’t and now you’re gone  
Time can’t change the truth
I was a fool when I let U go 
I let U go


I Let U Go

Lyric & Music: Kevin Reardon

Verse
I want to feel your breath softly on my face 
The touch of your sweet caress
And all that your love reveals 

I love the scent of your lavender perfume 
Your hair like a rose in bloom
Fragrances of you I can’t forget and never will

Pre-chorus
But what thrills me most each day
Is watching as you turn your eyes my way
And the look of joy upon your face  

Chorus 
When I see U smile, stars shine in your eyes
The world around us drifts away and slips off lost in time 
When I see U smile, your face lights up my heart 
The heavens write our names and forever’s who we are when I see U smile

Verse
I long for the taste of your kiss upon my lips
I hunger for your tenderness
And thirst just to feel this way

I crave the sound of your voice whispering in my ear 
And the beat of your heart so near
Every time I put my arms around you again 

Pre-chorus
Cause what thrills me most each day 
Is watching as you turn your eyes my way
And the look of joy upon your face  

Chorus 
When I see U smile, stars shine in your eyes
The world around us fades away and slips off lost in time 
When I see U smile, your face lights up my heart 
The heavens write our names and forever’s who we are when I see U smile
Oh, when I see U smile
When I see U smile

When I See U Smile

Lyric: Tim Koerber; Music: Kevin Reardon

Verse
I don’t know what’s about to happen but I plan to go with the flow
I’m all about good times and laughing, that’s how I weather a storm
You can’t change what’s coming at you, but you can change your reaction
The world’s gonna do what the world’s gonna do
Don’t let it be a distraction

Chorus
Do do dodo be happy, cling close to the ones you love
Do do dodo be happy, enjoy your time in the sun
Remember above all else, the only way to live life well 
Is do do dodo be happy, just be happy

Verse
The earth might shake and mountains tumble, remember to take a deep breath
Do your best to always stay humble, don’t live your life with regrets
Everyday there’s contradictions and somehow you have to choose
You do your best to make good decisions 
That’s the only way you don’t lose

Chorus
Do do dodo be happy, cling close to the ones you love
Do do dodo be happy, enjoy your time in the sun
Remember above all else, the only way to live life well 
Is do do dodo be happy, just be happy

Bridge
Sometimes it’s a struggle, you have to be willing to fight
Sometimes you’ll stumble as your trying to get to the light

Chorus
Do do dodo be happy, cling close to the ones you love
Do do dodo be happy, enjoy your time in the sun
Remember above all else, the only way to live life well 
Is do do dodo be happy, just be happy
Remember above all else, the only way to live life well 
Is do do dodo be happy, just be happy


Just Be Happy

I can tell the load you carry on your shoulders is starting to weigh you down
And the clouds above have begun to let go

Share the laughter and the tears
I’ll keep you close, never let you go, every day of every year

Verse
I never thought love could happen for me that’s before I found you
Would’ve been enough just to know you care
All I’m thinking of now is how I can’t ever live without you 
I want you everywhere but I need to be here

In your arms, it’s the only place that I belong
With your body next to mine, your soft and gentle touch loving me tonight in your arms
In your arms 

Verse
Can you see it in my eyes?
The passion that I feel when I can show you, you with me is everything I dreamed 
Cause I’m alive inside now but I doubt that I’d be, if I’d never known you
Honestly, my obsession is to be  

Chorus
In your arms, wrapped up in your love forever
In your arms, it’s the only place that I belong
With your body next to mine, your soft and gentle touch loving me tonight in your arms
In your arms 

Bridge
Your love’s a carnival, you captivate me  
Much more than physical, but I just want to stay 
 
Chorus
In your arms, wrapped up in your love forever
In your arms, it’s the only place that I belong
With your body next to mine, your soft and gentle touch loving me tonight in your arms
In your arms 
In your arms

Lifetime Of My Love

Lyric & Music: Kevin Reardon

Verse 
Ever think about Mexico?
Our sunset dreams, holding me close
The look in your eyes seared my soul with a love that would never die 
I still dream of sun kissed waves
Crazy times, like a haze
Two hearts beating in the glowing moonlit night

Chorus
I will remember those times forever
I won’t believe we can’t go back again
Our last night together, the touch of your kiss 
Is sealed in my heart and on my lips 
In margarita mist 

Verse 
I never thought Cabo days would end 
But this is now, that was then
There must have been a master plan that we just couldn’t see
The lime or tequila didn’t care or know
Life would take us down different roads
Salt rimmed memories crashing down on Lover’s Beach 

Chorus
I will remember those times forever
I won’t believe we can’t go back again
Our last night together, the touch of your kiss 
Is sealed in my heart and on my lips 
In margarita mist 

Bridge 
Did you leave Baja behind or do you think of us sometimes? 
If I ever cross your mind, do you laugh or cry?

Chorus
I will remember those times forever
I won’t believe we can’t go back again
Our last night together, the touch of your kiss 
Is sealed in my heart and on my lips 
In margarita mist 
Margarita mist
Margarita mist


Lyric: Tim Koerber & Kevin Reardon; Music: Kevin Reardon

Verse
The doctor shook his head and said there’s nothing he could do
There ain’t no pill to cure the ill of a lovesick flu
You been away too long, Girl, I’m starting to feel withdrawals
There’s only one way to make them go and you’re the antidote
 
Chorus
Heal me, heal me – your love’s my medicine
Heal me, heal me – let your tenderness begin
Your lips revive my soul
Put your hands around me, don’t let go
Heal me, heal me … heal me
 
Verse
I went to see my shrink and she said this ain’t in your head
You got to get rid of that empty feeling that’s pounding in your chest
Yeah, every time you’re away, Girl, I get lonely in this world 
You know what’s ailing me, you’re my remedy   
 
Chorus
Heal me, heal me – your love’s my medicine
Heal me, heal me – let your tenderness begin
Your lips revive my soul
Put your hands around me, don’t let go
Heal me, heal me … heal me
 
Bridge
Your kind of love is all the therapy I’ll ever need
When I feel broken you come ‘round and then you rescue me 
I refuse to let loose, when you’re not here I’m confused
That’s when my heart starts spinning, underpinning all my need for you  
I can’t explain it, Girl
There’s nothing else that I can say 
You’re my prescription
My addiction every night and day
You test me, you bless me
Caress me with your energy  
You have the cure to set me free 

Chorus
So come and heal me, heal me – your love’s my medicine
Heal me, heal me – let your tenderness begin

Lyric & Music: Kevin Reardon  

Verse 
I heard that you’re carrying a heartache, your man don’t love you no more
And you don’t know what to do with that sorrow that he left outside your door
Don’t hang on to a broken dream, that isn’t going to help you 
If you wanna put away his memory, I know what you can do

Chorus 
Lay it in my arms, let me ease your mind
Rest it on my shoulders, give yourself a little time 
I can’t change your yesterday, but I can be the friend you need
Lay it in my arms
Trust your heart with me 

Verse 
I can tell you that healing takes time
I’ve been there, you’ll make it through
I had to renew my faith in love and I know you can do it, too
Hope is fragile like a house of cards; you’ll need to build it day by day 
If you want somewhere to put your new dream, I know a place

Chorus 
Lay it in my arms, let me ease your mind
Rest it on my shoulders, give yourself a little time 
I can’t change your yesterday, but I can be the strength you need
Lay it in my arms
Trust your heart with me

You’re like a Phoenix; so beautiful; when you want to fly, I’m here 
Let me be the one you turn to with all the love you’re ready to share
Lay it in my arms 
Lay it in my arms, girl
Lay it in my arms 
Lay it in my arms, girl 

Chorus 
Lay it in my arms, let me ease your mind
Rest it on my shoulders, give yourself a little time 
I can’t change your yesterday, but I can be the love of your dreams
Lay it in my arms
Trust your heart with me

Verse 
If you feel like you’re in hiding and you can’t let who you are come shining through

If it seems you’re suffocating and the world ain’t appreciating what you do 
Don’t get down, just be you   
 
Chorus

Find what it is that makes you tick, that’s what it’s all about
Let your inner self out

Let your inner self out, you can be anything, so do it now

Bridge
Well, listen up – you got to visualize what you want what you want what you want in life 
Don’t be afraid now to make mistakes now
If you open up your heart and eyes, you’re gonna find out 
All you can imagine, you can make happen, if you try
Who you are is so unique, revel in your own mystique
Spread out your wings and just fly 

Chorus
Let your inner self out, you are all you dream, there’s no doubt
Let your inner self out, you can be anything, so do it now

Verse:  
I miss you now … on the road tonight
The only thing I want … is just to hold you tight. 
I thought I could fill our lives up with my greatest hopes and dreams
But it’s empty here … and the loneliness just screams …  

Chorus: 
It all comes down to love … and for me … your love means everything  
It all comes down to love … ‘cause I finally see … you are all I need
It all comes down to love 

Verse:  
To have and hold … through good and bad  
Those words give me strength … remind me what I have
Out here in this big ol’ world, what I’ve been searching for
Was always waiting there … behind that front porch door

Chorus: 
It all comes down to love … and for me … your love means everything  
It all comes down to love … ‘cause I finally see … you are all I need
It all comes down to love 

Bridge:  
This job’s been what I’ve lived for… in a world that steals our soul
Everything is nothing …until we really know…

Chorus: 
It all comes down to love … and for me … your love means everything  
It all comes down to love … ‘cause I finally see … you are all I need
It all comes down to love 

It all comes down to love.

All Comes Down To Love

Love Don't Come With A Parachute

Slow Rolling

Lyric & Music: Kevin Reardon                                                                                            

Verse
Guess it never was quite right 
You tried to tell me, but in spite of everything I had to lie to be what I am not
And what I was, was cast by wealth, standing there beside myself
While I knew you felt anything’s the only thing you got

Chorus
I can see that now you’re falling down 
“Amen” is your only sound, as life begins another round and you cannot turn away
I can see what it might have been but that was never destined then
You found no solace in content, so it found no need to stay

Verse
Random favors – one by one 
Beseeched upon you by the son of generations come undone, while winking at your rhymes
And though I sat behind your trust 
I still thought in the end you must begin to look for those of us who won’t deny our crimes

Chorus
I can see that now you’re losing ground
You thought that somehow spinning round 
Ignoring what you cannot change, would make it fade to grey  
I can see how it might have gone if only what you knew was wrong 
Could’ve stood up to that test for long enough to win the day

Verse
Ernest in your cries for help, your silence raised up like a welt 
Defenses beat and on the shelf, each to each in turn
Mommy’s supposed to be there, too, silver dishes, golden rule 
Waiting ‘till the supper cools so no one will get burned

Chorus
I can see that now you’re losing ground
You thought that somehow spinning round 
Ignoring what you cannot change, would make it fade to grey  
And I can see how it might have gone if only what you knew was wrong 
Could’ve stood up to that test for long enough to save the day

I can see that now you’re falling down 
“Amen” is your only sound, as life begins another round and you cannot turn away
I can see what it might have been but that was never destined then
You found no solace in content, so it found no need to stay

I Can See

Lyric & Music: Kevin Reardon  

Verse
There’s no snow upon the ground but there’s a sparkle this time of year
Palm trees sway and glisten in the moonlight, as people laugh with holiday cheer
Luminaries abound; their candles flicker in a row 
This will be a desert Christmas just like Christmas long ago 

Verse
On this silent, holy night, friends and family come to share
Giving thanks and praise like the Magi did; their gifts are wrapped with love and care 
High above a star so bright shines its light on every home 
This will be a desert Christmas just like Christmas long ago 

Bridge
Against the twinkling starry sky, you can hear a coyote call 
A desert dove lifts into flight; the sign of peace for one and all

Verse
There’s no snow upon the ground but the magic’s everywhere, and so …
This will be a desert Christmas just like Christmas long ago 

Outro
This will be a desert Christmas just like Christmas long ago

Desert Christmas

Verse
If you feel like you’re in hiding and you can’t let who you are come shining through
I’ve been there, too
If it seems you’re suffocating and the world ain’t appreciating what you do 
Don’t get down; just be you   
 
Chorus
Let your inner self out; you are all you dream, there’s no doubt; don’t let anyone tell you you’re not
Let your inner self out; you can be anything, so do it now; show ‘em all what you got 
Find what it is that makes you tick – that’s what it’s all about; let your inner self out 

Verse 
Make your mind up, find your balance; there’s no reason not to take a chance; fly free
Just believe
You’re special in your own way; throw your caution to the wind and say “I’m me”
With no apologies

Chorus
Let your inner self out; you are all you dream, there’s no doubt; don’t let anyone tell you you’re not
Let your inner self out; you can be anything, so do it now; show ‘em all what you got 
Find what it is that makes you tick – that’s what it’s all about; let your inner self out 

Bridge
[Rap: Well, listen up – you got to visualize what you want what you want what you want in life; don’t be afraid now to make mistakes now; if you open up your heart and eyes, you’re gonna find out …] 
All you can imagine, you can make happen, if you try
[Rap: That’s right; realize it; show what’s deep inside so nobody can deny that …]
Who you are is so unique; revel in your own mystique; spread out your wings and just fly 

Chorus
Let your inner self out; you are all you dream, there’s no doubt; don’t let anyone tell you you’re not
Let your inner self out; you can be anything, so do it now; show ‘em all what you got 
Find what it is that makes you tick – that’s what it’s all about; let your inner self out 
Don’t hesitate; no reason to wait – it’s your time right now; let your inner self out; let your inner self out

Verse 
Bing bong – the church clock chimes play a holiday song – sweet and low
Ding-a-ling – the jingle of sleigh bells ring as they wing across the snow
In town – the streets are decked out all around with glittery trim
At last – the yuletide season has come to pass; once again   

Chorus
Its Christmas time; children’s laughter fills the air
Faces lit with smiles; caring, sharing everywhere
Christmas time brings thanks and joy to life 
Hope and peace and a holiday feast make the season bright at Christmas time  

Verse 
Yum Yum – the gingerbread cookies are almost done – they smell so nice 
Whoopee – Daddy puts the star on the top of the tree – and lights the lights  
Up above – the stars in the night shine down with love – make your wish! 
Ho-ho-ho – Santa’s on his way through the sky he goes – lickety-split

Chorus
Its Christmas time; children’s laughter fills the air
Faces lit with smiles; caring, sharing everywhere
Christmas time brings thanks and joy to life 
Hope and peace and a holiday feast make the season bright at Christmas time 

Bridge
Good friends and family come together 
Near or far, they’re in our hearts; another year to remember

Chorus
Its Christmas time; children’s laughter fills the air
Faces lit with smiles; caring, sharing everywhere
Christmas time brings thanks and joy to life 
Hope and peace and a holiday feast make the season bright at Christmas time  
Its Christmas time; its Christmas time
