Lyrics
A GOOD CLEAN PLACE
I woke up this morning only to find that I was another day older, and wiser in mind.
There's one thing I do believe, that I have come to understand.
That the things I value most in life was never made by man
CHORUS
Give me a good clean place, where the water and air is fresh
I'll wear a smile upon my face, that's what he likes to wear the best
Give me a good clean place, a good place for you and me.
I’ve been to the library from time to time
A certain thought that always comes to my mind
When man made the first machine, pollution wasn’t far behind
I'm looking for a good clean place.
Now who is Mankind fooling, as we rush off to the moon?
We should clean up our own back yard
We should do it mighty soon
CHORUS
I love children; I’ve got two that are mine
A responsible adult should leave something behind
So people please hear me, hear me as I say.
Let's talk about this issue in a positive way.
CHORUS
I'm thinking of a good clean place, a good clean place for you and me.
GO WEST ON 17
Half way across the prairies, gazing into an open sky
My heart is pounding with anticipation, tears of joy fall from my eyes
CHORUS
Hand in hand we will venture, what will be will be
And all I can dream of darling, is that you’ll be with me
Somehow we got lost in a sandstorm and neither of us could clearly see
Reach out and offer me your hand love, I promise you can trust in me
CHORUS
Hand in hand we will venture, what will be will be
And all I can dream of darling, is that you’ll be with me
Here we are amongst the mountains and the forests, and living by the sea
So glad we made the decision to go west on seventeen
CHORUS
Hand in hand we will venture, what will be will be
And all I can dream of darling, is that you’ll be with me
And all I can dream of darling, is that you’ll share your life with me
GO FLY A KITE
CHORUS
I look forward to the time of Spring
I look forward to the time of Spring
Let’s think of some ideas for a song to sing
Let’s think of some ideas for a song to sing
We can get together, and laugh and play
Maybe fly a kite on a windy day
We can get together and have some fun
Let’s invite our Dads and Moms
Let’s invite our Dads and Moms
I enjoy going for a country ride
I appreciate the time outside
We can treat ourselves to a cold ice cream
Lots of fun if you know what I mean
Lots of fun if you know what I mean
CHORUS
I like watching all the birdies fly
Amongst the clouds and a bright blue sky
Or smell the blossoms on a lilac tree
That’s what Spring it means to me
That’s what Spring it means to me
CHORUS
Let's think of some ideas for a song to sing
ONLY TIME WILL TELL
I remember when I was a little boy
And the times I spent playing with my toys
Reading books and imagining
What the future may someday bring
Would I be a doctor, a lawyer or a policeman?
A farmer or maybe a fireman
I asked my Mom and Dad what they thought I’d be
And this is what they said, as honest as they could be
CHORUS
Just try and do your best each and every day
And if by chance you change your mind along the way
That’s okay, try to be all that you can be
That’s okay we’ll be proud of you wait and see
That’s okay whatever you may choose to be
Remember only time will tell
Well the years have seemed to pass me by
I have a wife and young son standing by my side
When little Morgan mentioned what someday he would like to be
We were tickled orange we were (my favorite color), and as eager to hear as we could be
I want to be an astronaut, a scientist, a baseball player too
An alligator wrestler and a lot like you
Mom and Dad can you tell me please
What some day you think I might turn out to be
This is what we said as honest as we could be
CHORUS
I hope someday I live to see
My children and their children
Spending time with the wife and me
And if by chance they mention
What some day they would like to be
Well, this will be what they hear
From Grandma and me
CHORUS
Remember only time will tell
THE YARROW FAIR
I remember that day like it was yesterday
When we met at the Yarrow Fair
When you looked at me, it came to be
CHORUS
We fell in love at the Yarrow Fair
We fell in love at the Yarrow Fair
The banjos did ring, the children did sing
Accordions filled the air
When you danced with me, it came to be
CHORUS
We fell in love at the Yarrow Fair
We fell in love at the Yarrow Fair
I remember that day like it was yesterday
When we met at the Yarrow Fair
When you looked at me, it came to be
CHORUS
We fell in love at the Yarrow Fair
We fell in love at the Yarrow Fair
