I’ll never, I’ll never make you blue

Your Love Gets Sweeter Every Day

You know your smile, woman, treat me so darn darn fine
Give me such an appetite and I need your loving every night

Your love gets sweeter every day, your love gets sweeter every day
Your love gets sweeter every day, your love gets sweeter every day

Baby when you kiss my lips, make me wanna go head over heels for you, yeah
When you whisper in my ear what I say is how I feel for you, yeah

Your love gets sweeter every day, your love gets sweeter every day
Your love gets sweeter every day, your love gets sweeter every day

Since I was sweet sixteen I wanted you to make you my queen
Then until the day you were the only loving girl that’s taken my hand

Your love gets sweeter every day, your love gets sweeter every day
Your love gets sweeter every day, your love gets sweeter every day

Now I”m glad, Im older man, can see things are riding to plan
Baby if you promise me we can build our world together for true
Me and you, I’m gonna take it to you

Your love gets sweeter every day, your love gets sweeter every day
Your love gets sweeter every day, your love gets sweeter every day

Mmm mmm (mmm mmm), mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm (mmm mmm)
Ooh ooh (ooh ooh), ooh ooh (ooh ooh) woh
Woh woh woh woh woh woh

Ooh, walking so sweetly when you walk, when you talk
When you dance for me, girl
Walking so sweetly when you walk, when you talk
When you dance with me, girl
Ba-boo-boo-boo-boom-ba-boom-bam boom bam
I’ll never make you blue, mmm
I’ll never, I’ll never make you blue
Boo-bam boo-bam boo-ba-ba-bam bam

And fades away like the morning dew.

The Water is Wide

The water is wide, I cannot cross o’er
But Neither have I the wings to fly.
Build me a boat, that will carry two,
And both shall row, my love and I.

A ship there is, and she sails the sea,
I know not if I sink or swim.
She’s laden deep as deep can be,
But not so deep as the love I’m in.

I leaned my back on a pride young oak,
I thought it was a trusty tree.
But first it bended, and then it broke,
And so my love proved false to me.

O love is fair and love is fine,
Bright as a rose, when first it’s new;
But love grows old, and sometimes cold
And fades away like the morning dew.

“Here is someone new”.

The River

So deep in the water
Sleep, dark as the night
Somehow it seems it was all another dream
Soon dissolved in the light.

Oh, we were by the waterline.
Vague, the song of the night.
Innocent to all the peasant gods with you,
So, we drink to be renewed.

On the long, deep river
Where the moorhens cry
As the first sun quivers in the open sky…

Oh, she came down the river.
Soon, all the leaves were still.
The current was strong and the river was so long.
So, we drink to be renewed.

In the long cool evening,
Where the peacocks shiver
And the boat starts down the silver river way…

I remember you saying,
As her deep eyes opened,
In the first light seeing her,
“Here is someone new”.

I wonder why we came.

By This River

Here we are
Stuck by this river,
You and I
Underneath a sky that’s ever falling down, down, down
Ever falling down.

Through the day
As if on an ocean
Waiting here,
Always failing to remember why we came, came, came:
I wonder why we came.

You talk to me
as if from a distance
And I reply
With impressions chosen from another time, time, time,
From another time.

Live your life filled with joy and wonder

Sweetness Follows

Readying to bury your father and your mother,
What did you think when you lost another?
I used to wonder why did you bother,
Distanced from one, blind to the other?

Listen here, my sister and my brother
What would you care if you lost the other?
I always wonder why did we bother,
Distanced from one, deaf to the other

(chorus)
Oh, oh, but sweetness follows

It’s these little things, they can pull you under
Live your life filled with joy and wonder
I always knew this altogether thunder
Was lost in our little lives

(repeat chorus 3x)

It’s these little things, they can pull you under
Live your life filled with joy and thunder
Yeah, yeah, we were altogether
Lost in our little lives

Oh, oh, ah

(repeat chorus)

Oh, oh, oh, but sweetness follows
