Elusive (Like The Moon)                                                         

Moonlight will shine so bright. 
But come a storm, it's a cold dark night.  
Moonlight reminds me of you,
So beautiful, but gone too soon.

	You are elusive like the moon,
	As fleeting as a butterfly in June,
	When those clouds roll in, where are you?
	Just when I need you the most, 
	You vanish with the smoke,
	You are elusive, elusive,  elusive… 
	Like the moon.   

Moonlight will light the way  
Then suddenly fade away
Moonlight, I won't count on you,
To share the dawn to see me through.

	You are elusive like the moon.
	As fleeting as a butterfly in June.
	When those clouds roll in, where are you?   
	Just when I need you the most,
	You vanish with the smoke,
	You are elusive, elusive, elusive…
	Like the moon.

	Just when I need you the most,
	You vanish with the smoke. 
	You are elusive, elusive, elusive…
	Like the moon.

Elusive (Like The Moon) - Epic Dream Pop - Featured Singer:  Brooke Toia

Heart-felt song of gratefulness for those who help us out of those long hard droughts.  You are "Rain In The Desert."

Loretta's vocal builds to an Aretha Franklin-like peak.  


Rain In The Desert
  
Have you ever felt Arizona at 120 degrees?
In the desert without water, you could die from the heat,
But it’s wonderful when the weather turns, everything is changed,
The sky lights up, the water falls, and a dyin’ heart is saved.

	You’re like rain in the desert,
	Beautiful rain,
	A cloud that opens wide, fills my empty sky,
	‘Cause I’m comin’ out of a long hard drought,
	You’re like rain in the desert to me.

Yes, my world was so dry, just a dead barren land,
But you made it come alive like blossoms in the sand,
And suddenly it’s all shining hues  and a rainbow too,
Yes I’m feelin’ those colors, and it’s all because of you.

	My rain in the desert,
	Beautiful rain,
	A cloud that opens wide, fills my empty sky,
	‘Cause I’m comin’ out of a long hard drought,
	You’re like rain in the desert to me.

You are just what I need.
Pour down on me.

	Rain,
	Beautiful rain,
	A cloud that opens wide, fills my empty sky, 
	I’m comin’ out of a long hard drought,
	You’re like rain in the desert to me,
	Rain in the desert.

Elusive (Like The Moon)

Moonlight will shine so bright,
But come a storm, it's a cold dark night,
Moonlight reminds me of you,
So beautiful, but gone too soon.

     You are elusive like the moon,
     As fleeting as a butterfly in June,
     When those clouds roll in, where are you?
     Just when I need you the most,
     You vanish with the smoke,
     You are elusive, elusive like the moon.

Moonlight will light the way,
Then suddenly fade away,
Moonlight, I won't count on you,
To share the dawn, to see me through.

     You are elusive like the moon,
     As fleeting as a butterfly in June,
     When those clouds roll in, where are you?
     Just when I need you the most,
     You vanish with the smoke,
     You are elusive, elusive like the moon.

You vanish with the smoke,
You are elusive, elusive like the moon.
You are elusive like the moon.

Elusive Like The Moon (Country Version)

Santa's Lullaby

He's loaded his sleigh.  He's on his way,
With all of those toys he's been makin' everyday,
And as he glides along, he sings a song.

    When reindeer fly to Santa's lullaby,
    You know it's that night of nights,
    When children dream of magical things,
    Tiny elves, fairy wings, dancin' 'round sweet moonbeams,
    While reindeer fly to Santa's lullaby.

He's workin' all night.  He's makin' sure,
There's a very special gift for every boy and girl,
Listen carefully, you might hear him sing.

    When reindeer fly to Santa's lullaby,
    You know it's that night of nights,
    When children dream of magical things,
    Tiny elves, fairy wings, dancin' 'round sweet moonbeams,
    While reindeer fly to Santa's lullaby.

It's so quiet, soft and low,  
Like downy clouds, like falling snow.

    When reindeer fly to Santa's lullaby,
    You know it's that night of nights,
    When children dream of magical things,
    Tiny elves, fairy wings, dancin' 'round sweet moonbeams,
    While reindeer fly to Santa's lullaby.

The Best Gift of All

Well it's been quite a year,
And I'm so glad you are here,
Yes it's Christmas, and you're the best gift of all.

Lots of presents under the tree,
But you're what really matters to me,
Yes it's Christmas, and you're the best gift of all.

   All the treasures and wondrous things you could pile around the tree,
   Could never compare to all the joy you bring to me.

Having you here by the fire,
Is all I truly desire,
Yes it's Christmas, and you're the best gift of all.  

   All the treasures and wondrous things you could pile around the tree,
   Could never compare to all the joy you bring to me.

You're the best gift of all.
You're the best gift of all.

Holding You
By Jane Canfield

I used to think about the woman of my dreams,
Would her eyes be brown, blue, or green?
Would she be short or maybe tall?
When I found you, it didn't matter at all.

     Holding you, I hold everything,
     My desire, my destiny,
     Do you know what you've done for me,
     How you've changed my life, how I am complete,
     When I'm holding you, it's like you've become,
     My earth, my sea, my shining sun,
     You are more than I ever dreamed,
     Holding you, I hold everything.

You're always talking how you don't look quite right,
How your hair's a mess, jeans are getting tight,
But when you're in my arms, all I see,
Is the woman who means the world to me.

     Holding you, I hold everything,
     My desire, my destiny,
     Do you know what you've done for me,
     How you've changed my life, how I am complete,
     When I'm holding you, it's like you've become,
     My earth, my sea, my shining sun,
     You are more than I ever dreamed,
     Holding you, I hold everything.
    
I feel you in my very soul,
Your love is all I need to know.
 
Holding you, it's like you've become,
My earth, my sea, my shining sun,
You are more than I ever dreamed,
Holding you, I hold everything, everything,
Holding you.

Holding You

I used to think about the man of my dreams,
Would his eyes be brown, blue or green?
Would he be short, or maybe tall?
When I found you, it didn't matter at all.

Holding you, I hold everything - my desire, my destiny,
Do you know what you've done for me?
How you've changed my life, how I am complete,
When I'm holding you, it's like you become,
My earth, my sea, my shining sun,
You are more than I ever dreamed,
Holding you I hold everything.

You're always talkin' how you don't look quite right,
Hair's gettin' thin... jeans gettin' tight,
But when you're in my arms, all I see,
Is the man who means the world to me.

Holding you, I hold everything - my desire, my destiny,
Do you know what you've done for me?
How you've changed my life, how I am complete,
When I'm holding you, it's like you become,
My earth, my sea, my shining sun,
You are more than I ever dreamed,
Holding you I hold everything.
Holding you.

Wallflower

Back to those days in seventh grade,
Learning to dance and boy/girl games,
They're picking their partners painfully slow,
And when they're all finished, you're standing alone.

You say you're a wallflower.  You say you don't dance.
But you would be fabulous if you took the chance,
Find your own music, give it your all,
Wallflower, be the belle of your ball.

Make up your steps as you go,
Don't worry what they say, they don't know,
Okay, you're shy.  That is your style,
But once in awhile, step into the light and shine.

You say you're a wallflower.  You say you don't dance.
But you would be fabulous if you took the chance,
Find your own music, give it your all,
Wallflower, be the belle of your ball.

The swan was never an ugly duckling,
And Cinderella's always been the most charming,
So dance, dance, dance...

You say you're a wallflower, but look at you dance,
Yes, you are just fabulous when you take the chance,
You're finding your music, giving your all,
Wallflower, you're the belle of your ball.

Wallflower

Back to those days in seventh grade,
Learning the waltz and boy/girl games, (or Learning to dance...)
They’re picking their partners painfully slow,
And when they’re all finished, you’re standing alone.

	You say you’re a wallflower.  You say you don’t dance,
	But you would be fabulous if you took the chance,
	Find your own music, (and) give it your all,
	What once was a wallflower could be the belle of the ball.
           (Alt. last line of chorus:  Wallflower, be the belle of your ball.)

 (Original Second Verse:)
Make up your steps as you go,
Don’t worry what they say.  They don’t know.
You’ve got your own style.  Go with what you feel,
School is now out and it’s time you were free, yes free.

(Alternative Second Verse:)
Make up your steps as you go,
Don't worry what they say, they don't know,
Okay, you're shy.  That is your style,
But once in a while, step into the light and shine.

	You say you’re a wallflower.  You say you don’t dance,
	But you would be fabulous if you took the chance,
	Find your own music, (and) give it your all,
	What once was a wallflower could be the belle of the ball. 
           (Alt. last line of chorus:  Wallflower, be the belle of your ball.)

Original Bridge:
Don’t you know the swan was an ugly duckling,
And where would Cinderella be if she stayed home crying,
So dance, dance, dance…

Alternate Bridge:
The swan was never an ugly duckling,
And Cinderella's always been so charming, (or the most charming)
So dance, dance, dance...

	You say you’re a wallflower, but look at you dance,
	Yes, you are just fabulous when you take the chance,
	(You’re) finding your music and giving your all,
	What once was a wallflower is the belle of the ball.
