WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWER CHILDREN GONE?-Male version
by Mickey James/Sharon Spivey

IT ALL BEGAN AT WOODSTOCK, THAT’S WHAT WE HEARD ‘EM SAY
WHEN COUNTRY JOE AND JIMI BLEW 'EM ALL AWAY
SAW IT ON THE T.V., WISHED THAT WE WERE THERE
WE’D BE LYIN' ON A BLANKET, YOU’D HAVE FLOWERS IN YOUR HAIR

CHORUS:
WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWER CHILDREN GONE?
WHERE IS ALL THAT PEACE AND LOVE THEY BUILT THEIR DREAMS UPON?
CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHERE DID WE GO WRONG
AND WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWER CHILDREN GONE?

BACK TO BACK MASS SHOOTINGS, LORD, WHEN’S IT GONNA END
OUR COUNTRY’S UNDER FIRE, AND THE ATTACK COMES FROM WITHIN
THEY CAUGHT A SEVENTH GRADER WITH HIS DADDY'S LOADED GUN
NOW WHO’S THE ONE AT FAULT? IS IT THE FATHER OR THE SON?

CHORUS:
AND WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWER CHILDREN GONE?
WHERE IS ALL THAT PEACE AND LOVE THEY BUILT THEIR DREAMS UPON?
CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHERE DID WE GO WRONG
AND WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWER CHILDREN GONE?

BRIDGE:
AND THE DOVES TOOK WING FROM SHORE TO SHORE
WHEN THEY HEARD THOSE FAR OFF CANNONS ROAR
THEY ASKED HOW COME, THEY ASKED WHAT FOR
THEY FED THEIR HEADS, THEY STOPPED A WAR
AND THE GENERATION TIME FORGOT
TAUGHT THEIR CHILDREN WELL, THEY THOUGHT

CHORUS:
SO WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWER CHILDREN GONE?
WHERE IS ALL THAT PEACE AND LOVE THEY BUILT THEIR DREAMS UPON?
CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHERE DID WE GO WRONG
AND WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWER CHILDREN GONE?

SHOULD I LET HER IN MY HEART?
Bob Morrison and Sharon Spivey

(MALE)
The morning after is always hard
We got real close, now we’re both on guard
Do I tell her I love her? Would it be out of line
If I let her know what I have on my mind?

CHORUS:
Should I let her in my heart?
Where no one has been before
That place I keep under wraps 
My secret inner core
Would she run for cover, fly off like a bird
If I reveal how I feel about her?
She’s been stuck in my head from the start
Should I let her in...let her in my heart?

(FEMALE)
It’s the mornin’ after, and here we lie
Should I make the next move or kiss him goodbye?
There’s decisions to make, gotta think this thing through
He might be the right one, now what do I do?

CHORUS:
Should I let him in my heart?
Where no one has been before
That place I keep under wraps
My secret inner core
Would he run for cover, be gone with the wind 
If I reveal how I feel about him
He’s been stuck in my head from the start
Should I let him in...let him in my heart?

(TOGETHER)
I never thought we’d get this far
Should I take a chance or keep things as they are

CHORUS (TOGETHER):
Should I let you in my heart?
Where no one has been before
That place I keep under wraps 
My secret inner core
Will you run for cover? Tell me what will you do
If I reveal how I feel about you?
You’ve been stuck in my head from the start
Should I let you in...let you in my heart?

SHOULD I LET HER IN MY HEART

APPLES AND ORANGES
by Fernando Bellini & Sharon Spivey

VS 1:
We’re ‘bout as diff’rent as two people could be
How we even met is a mys’try to me
Everybody says we’re just like apples and oranges
She’s from the city - me, I’m country bred
Drawn to the spotlight - got these songs in my head
She belongs in the fastlane, but she chose me instead

CHORUS:
Apples and oranges - we're nothin' alike
In spite of our diff’rences we don’t need to fight
She says, “black”, I say, “white”, we're okay with that
As Yin and Yang, we always attract
We're Lexus and Ford, Mac and PC
But I'm into her and she’s into me
Ain’t nothin’ can top the sweet love that we share
We’re apples and oranges - one helluva pair 

VS 2:
She’s cool and collected - my head’s in the clouds 
She thinks ‘fore you speaks, I jus’ let it all out
Diff’rent sides of a coin, we’re like apples and oranges
I’m absent minded - she helps me keep track
She’s ever in trouble, I’ve got her back
And together we make up for what - the other one lacks

CHORUS: REPEAT

BRIDGE:
When we can, we blend
When we can’t, we bend
So we’ll never break

LAST CHORUS:
We're Lexus and Ford, Mac and PC
But I'm into her and she’s into me
Ain’t nothin’ can top the sweet love that we share
We’re apples and oranges - one helluva pair

She’s The Best Thing Goin’
Rob Simbeck/Frank Michels/Sharon Spivey

I could tell her any lie and she’d believe me
Then forgive me when I crawled home with the sun
She loved me way too much to ever leave me
She knew a man has got to have his fun

The lady loved me right even when I did her wrong
She was the best thing that ever came along

Chorus:
Now she’s the best thing goin’
I’ll never see the likes of her again
She’s the best thing goin’
She took me places I ain’t never been
And I just realized how much I need her
Why did it take me so long
‘Cause it’s too late now
The best thing goin’ is gone

I could promise her the moon and not deliver
She’d still love me like I’d hung it in the sky
I think of all the love I didn’t give her
I guess I taught that woman how to cry

I took her for granted right from the start
The lady finally had a change of heart

Chorus:
Now she’s the best thing goin’
I’ll never see the likes of her again
She’s the best thing goin’
She took me places I ain’t never been
And I just realized how much I need her
Why did it take me so long
‘Cause it’s too late now
The best thing goin’ is gone

Tag:
She’s the best thing goin’ - she’s the best thing goin’
She’s the best thing goin’ - she’s the best thing goin’

LUCIEN DOES HIS FISHIN' AT THE MARKET
THOUGH HE WISHES HE WAS CLIMBIN' DOWN THAT TRAIL TO CATFISH HOLE
HE STILL HAS DREAMS OF REELIN' IN THE BIG ONE
BUT THERE'S PLACES WHERE A WHEEL CHAIR WON'T GO

LUCIEN WAS INDUCTED IN THE FIFTIES
AND HE BECAME A MAN ONE BLOODY DAY AT YUNG DONG PO
HE SAID HE'D ALWAYS PLANNED TO BE A LIFER
BUT THERE'S PLACES WHERE A WHEEL CHAIR WON'T GO

CHORUS:
	AND HE HANGS OUT ON THE CORNER
	AND HE ROLLS HIS OWN TOBACCO
	AND HE GIVES TIPS TO ALL THE TOURISTS
	..THINGS THAT FISHERS NEED TO KNOW
	AND HE'D LIKE TO WORK UPSTAIRS AGAIN
	AT KELLY'S BAIT AND TACKLE
	BUT THERE'S PLACES WHERE A WHEEL CHAIR WON'T GO

LUCIEN GOES TO SERVICES ON SUNDAY
BUT HE NEVER BOUGHT THE PART ABOUT THAT FIRE DOWN BELOW
'CAUSE HE BELIEVES THAT GOD IS ALL FORGIVING
AND THERE'S PLACES WHERE A WHEEL CHAIR WON'T GO

CHORUS: REPEAT

LUCIEN DOES HIS FISHIN' AT THE MARKET
THOUGH HE WISHES HE WAS CLIMBIN' DOWN THAT TRAIL TO CATFISH HOLE
SOMEDAY HE'LL GO FISHING WAY UP YONDER
IN THOSE PLACES WHERE A WHEEL CHAIR WON'T GO

TAG:
	IN THOSE PLACES WHERE A WHEEL CHAIR WON'T GO
	AND THERE'S PLACES WHERE A WHEEL CHAIR WON'T GO

Humankind (Michael Davey, Chris Robbins, Jayne Sachs)

I am a Nashville songwriter now living in Florida. I wrote Lorrie Morgan's 1st number one single, "Out Of Your Shoes" with Patti Ryan and Jill Wood. I am still "hard at play" pursuing my passion writing songs that I hope will  entertain and perhaps even make a difference.
