Intro: 8 bars (key of E)

It took time to make an impression.
Took a while to get a date.
Got a lunch and then a movie.
Couldn’t make it to first base.

I knew I had to be patient.
knew she’d been hurt before.
I had to prove I was different.
Show her she was adored.
 
In time she would grow to love me.
She’d see I was kind.
I was gonna make her fall for me;
one kiss at a time.

She was slow to shed her suspicions.
She’d heard some things about me.
I made her and the kids some pizza.
Slowly set her mind at ease.

I knew I had to be patient.
Knew she’d been hurt before.
I had to prove I was different.
Show her she was adored.

In time she would grow to love me.
She’d see I was kind.
I was gonna make her fall for me;
one kiss at a time.

The first time was to say goodnight.
The next one let her know.
I didn’t want to be just friends.
The third came with a rose.

I knew I had to be patient.
Knew she’d been hurt before.
I had to prove I was different.
Show her she was adored.

In time she would grow to love me.
She’d see I was kind.
I was gonna make her fall for me;
one kiss at a time.

Yes, I made her fall in love with me
one kiss at a time.

A LONDON ROSE

Intro: 8 bars (key of A, 3/4)

A London rose will bloom today
Just like tomorrow and yesterday.
A London rose will bloom today
Just like tomorrow and yesterday.

Down alleyway, in city park,
In broad daylight and deepest dark,
On a lonely old city street,
Where youth and anger rush to meet,

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

A London rose will bloom today
Just like tomorrow and yesterday.
A London rose will bloom today
Just like tomorrow and yesterday.

The rain will fall and storm will blow
And from concrete, a rose will grow,
Rose in London grows all year long
Pretty flowers, but deadly thorns,

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

A London rose will bloom today
Just like tomorrow and yesterday.
A London rose will bloom today
Just like tomorrow and yesterday.

And life is short, on a London street
Where the roses grow and mothers weep.
... ... ... .

Intro: 4 bars (key of E)

I’m every day, I’m normal.
I’m just part of the crowd.
I’m a leaf in the forest
I’m just a passing cloud.

I’m nobody, I’m nothing.
I’m no one that you know.
I’m a face in the passing.
A falling flake of snow.

See me, feel me, touch me;
Look into my eyes.
Give my life some meaning.
Know that I am alive.

I’m everyone, I’m no one.
I have dreams like you do.
I’m a heart that is beating
Praying love will come true.

See me, feel me, touch me;
Look into my eyes.
Give my life some meaning.
Know that I am alive.

I go to work, I come home
I watch some TV.
I go to sleep, I wake up
And no one calls me.

See me, feel me, touch me;
Look into my eyes.
Give my life some meaning.
Know that I am alive.

See me, feel me, touch me;
Look into my eyes.
Give my life some meaning.
Know that I am alive.

Know that I am alive
Know that I am alive

I AM ALIVE (Uke)

THE SUMMER OF LOVE
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
© Lyrics: Carroll Kiphen, 2023.
© Melody: Guy E. Trépanier, 2024.

Intro: 4 bars (key of A)

I’m trying to write a song from memories
But some are oh so vague.
It’s like trying to read a diary
With pages torn away.

Sometimes your eyes are blue.
Sometimes they’re emerald green.
Sometimes I can’t recall
What’s real or what’s a dream.

It was summer by the sea.
Summer by the sea
It was the summer of love.
It was my summer of love.

It’s so hurtful to know that I forgot
The first love of my life.
It’s only been about ten years or so
We said our last goodbye.

Sometimes your eyes are blue.
Sometimes they’re emerald green.
Sometimes I can’t recall
what’s real or what’s a dream.

It was summer by the sea.
Summer by the sea
It was the summer of love.
It was my summer of love.

I remember that yellow bikini.
Rubbing coconut oil on your skin.
I remember, I remember how we kissed.
I sure wish I could kiss you again.

Interlude: 8 bars

It was summer by the sea.
Summer by the sea
It was the summer of love.
It was my summer of love.

It was summer by the sea.
Summer by the sea
It was the summer of love.
It was my summer of love.

It was my summer of love

Intro: 4 bars (key of E)

In my time I’ve seen things.
No man should have to see.
Some have filled me with rage.
Some brought me to my knees.

In my time I’ve known love,
In ways that few men do.
It’s got me through tough times.
Once or twice left me blue.

I’ve been blessed, I’ve been cursed.
I’ve been last, I’ve been first.
In my time of dying
I’ll leave my life satisfied.

.... .... .... ....

In my time I’ve fought wars.
With me, myself and I.
I’ve won some, I’ve lost some.
I’ve learned to compromise.

In my time the world changed.
Has gone from bad to worse.
I fear it’s to the point
That it can’t be reversed.

I’ve been blessed, I’ve been cursed.
I’ve been last, I’ve been first.
In my time of dying
I’ll leave my life satisfied.

In my time of dying
I’ll leave my life satisfied.

I WANT TO MAKE LOVE TO YOU

Intro: 4 bars (key of A)

Hey, can you set aside 
Some time for you and I?
Spend some time alone with me.
Can you just spare a moment, 
Spare me a kiss?

Lately I’ve been feeling neglected.
Just a little bit dejected.

Hey, don’t call your friends, 
I won’t call mine.
Hey, let’s have a party of two,
If you’ve got a moment to spare.
I want to make love to you.
I want to make love to you.

.... .... .... ....

Hey, hold me for awhile, 
And please, spare me a smile.
Take me out dancing tonight.
Can we walk in the moonlight, 
Walk hand in hand?

Lately I’ve been feeling neglected.
Just a little bit dejected.

Hey, don’t call your friends, 
I won’t call mine.
Hey, let’s have a party of two,
If you’ve got a moment to spare.
I want to make love to you.
I want to make love to you.

Baby if you still love me
Just prove it to me tonight.
Baby if you still love me
Show me you’re in this for life.

Hey, don’t call your friends, 
I won’t call mine.
Hey, let’s have a party of two,
If you’ve got a moment to spare.
I want to make love to you.
I want to make love to you.

I want to make love to you.
I want to make love to you.

THE WEE BIRD

Intro: 4 bars (key of A)

There is a wee bird in a cage
It has been there all its days
Long ago it lost its voice
Was not the wee birdies choice

From its prison it sees the sky
Wee bird dreams one day to fly
I know why the wee bird cries
Trapped in its cage until it dies

Break the chains and smash the locks
Free your heart from its cruel box
Let it soar above the clouds
Let it sing its song out loud
.... .... 

I wonder what it’s like to fly
Feel the world go racing by
Seen the others roll and tumble
But here I sit crushed and humble

Fight with every bloody sinew
See beyond bars holding you
Every bird must stretch its wings
And Liberty makes all men kings 

Break the chains and smash the locks
Free your heart from its cruel box
Let it soar above the clouds
Let it sing its song out loud
.... ....

Intro: 4 bars (key of E)

You're growing fast but still a child
Desperate to come of age 
You're at that awkward stage
Too young to love, too old to play

Be patient Charlotte 
You will have your day
It’s not too far away

Just hold your nerve
Life’s a learning curve
It takes a lot of lessons
To navigate adolescence 
.... .... .... ....

Your time will come but not quite yet
In truth I’m sure you know
You’ve still someway to go
Too young to drink, too old to skip

Be patient Charlotte 
That would be my tip
So try and_enjoy the trip

Just hold your nerve
Life’s a learning curve
It takes a lot of lessons
To navigate adolescence 

Interlude: 8 bars

A few more years, all it will take
Youth is a steady climb
You will mature in time
Too young to vote, too_old_to pretend
 
Be patient Charlotte 
Mountains to ascend
Until you reach the end

Just hold your nerve
Life’s a learning curve
It takes a lot of lessons
To navigate adolescence 
 
We will be encourage you all the way
Because we love you Charlotte May

Intro: 4 bars (key of D)

Mabel works in a sweetie shop 
But she is not happy with her lot
She’s fed up being called a Miss
She longs for someone she can kiss 
.... ....

She likes to lick the lollipops
And hopes her lonely life soon stops
Mabel dreams that one day 
Maybe she'll find love 
.... .... .... ....

Danny drives a big red bus
He does his job without any fuss
He has his eye on a pretty nurse
Who takes two pounds from her bright pink purse 
.... ....

She buys a ticket, takes her seat
And Danny’s heart it skips a beat
Danny wishes that one day 
She will smile at him  
.... .... .... ....
  
Morag makes the best ice-cream
They say it tastes just like a dream
But Morag never takes a taste
She doesn’t want to ruin her waist 
.... ....

Her hubby likes her to be thin
If she gets fat she might lose him
Morag does exactly 
What her hubby says 
.... .... .... ....

Beryl sits and answers phones
But no one has ever called her home
In the park she feeds the birds
She wishes she could hear soft words 
.... ....

And after lunch they'll call again
But none of them are Beryl’s friends
Beryl wishes that someone 
Call and say I love you 
.... .... .... ....
