Lazy Moon 03:44
Lazy moon come out soon Don't make us wait We danced in the sun Now we've had our fun Now we're ready to lay our heads down Won't make a sound until you shine down Lazy Moon, Lazy Moon But a cloud like a shroud Covers you Are you sleeping, are you weeping Mr. moon I close my eyes I pray the skies Clear for your light tonight Lazy Moon, Lazy Moon Though it's late still we will wait for you Light the way, bright as day No one shines as bright as you in the night As the stars take flight over our heads Lazy Moon, Lazy Moon

Airplane 05:03
Airplane, airplane up in the sky How do you fly? Spaceship, spaceship Up in outer space Have you discovered an alien race? Helicopter, helicopter Oh you chopped up the air Do I need to call an air doctor? I wish I could fly through the night sky As an airplane, spaceship, helicopter pilot Motorcycle, motorcycle oh you carry such a Light and free load Taxi cab, Taxi cab Driving in the big city Where the lights always shine so pretty Big yellow bus, big yellow bus I promise I won't make a fuss When you come to collect all of us I wish I could drive through the day time As a motorcycle, taxi cab, big yellow bus driver Row boat, row boat How do you? How do you? In the ocean float? Motorboat, motorboat Skipping across the waves In a watery blue maize Battleship, battleship cruising across the sea protecting you and me I would I could sail through the ocean As a row boat, motorboat, battleship Captain

Rainy Day 03:37
I woke up to a gray, gray sky And I wished I could turn gray to blue Pitter patter exclaimed the raindrops As I pulled on my yellow rain boots Grabbed my umbrella And went on my way Singing rain, rain, rain, oh go away La, la, la, la, la, la Skip, skip, skip, oh skip to my Lou I danced through the puddles like a caribou Use my umbrella as if it were a cane I'm the king of the world; I'm the queen of the rain All the grass is greener and the gardens grow The lakes do rise, and the rivers flow La, la, la, la, la, la ,la ,la ,la Patty, patty cake, oh bakers man Won't you send away this rain as fast as you can? Angry dark clouds won't you blow away And come back again another day Or I'm bound to sing my rainy, rainy day song Singing rain, rain go away all day long La, la, la, la, la, la Stuck my hand out held the last raindrop This rain parade had decided to stop Thanks for all the green and thanks for the wet But I'm glad your gone I don't pretend to be upset You had your job and you did just fine Now I'm ready for a little sunshine La, la, la, la, la , la, la

I would sow a thousand buttons A thousand buttons on your sweater To make you feel better I would build a thousand ladders A thousand ladders tall So you would never have to feel small I would plant a thousand daisies A thousand daisies deep Just to keep you near I would blow up a thousand balloons A thousand balloons to blow Just so you would know I'll never let you go I would do all these things I would do them for you I would kiss a thousand monsters A thousand monsters in all So you would know I'm not afraid anymore I would eat a thousand worms A thousand worms stuck in the dirt So you would never have to hurt I would break a thousand bones A thousand bones to break Please your love don't ever take I would invent a thousand colors A thousand colors to see Then paint a picture of you and me I would do all these things I would do them for you I would catch a thousand ants A thousand ants in the sand Promise you'll always hold my hand I would read a thousand books A thousand dusty pages To see you make one of your silly faces I would hoot with a thousand owls A thousand nocturnal friends Please don't ever let this story time end I would jump a thousand hops A thousand hops to jump I know this love will never stop I would do all these things I would do them for you A thousand ways to say I love you

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff, And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. Oh Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail, Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came, Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name. Oh Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee A dragon lives forever but not so little boys Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys. One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar. His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain, Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane. Without his life-long friend, Puff could not be brave, So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. Oh Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

Imagine 05:29
Imagine your flying through the cotton candy clouds your safe now Imagine lying in the green green grass feel your toes sink in at last Imagine your mother’s warm warm hug as she whispers you are loved Imagine holding your daddy's hand building castles in the sand You can be, whatever it is you want to be So close your eyes and fathom all the beauty you will bring and believe Imagine your splashing in a creek playing a game of hide and seek Imagine swinging on a swing drifting in and out of dreams Imagine you can see what no one else can see and you can be who no one else can be Imagine now everything's ok like a chocolate chip cookie at the end of the day You can be whatever it is you want to be So close your eyes and fathom all the beauty you will bring and believe Imagine building a fort in the woods wearing yellow capes and red hoods Imagine you're the king of the town everyone loves it when you come around Imagine skipping stones on the sea then hunting for treasure you and me Imagine tomorrow and a day all the friends you'll meet all the games you'll play

Michigan (free) 04:52
Cotton sheets of cotton Gracefully hung out to dry Blue sky a blanket of blue sky Out my paint chipped window Lilacs and daffodils smell so good that I could cry And all the cherry blossoms bloom for miles and miles It's springtime, springtime, springtime in Michigan Beaches great lake beaches My joyful feet in your sand Sunshine I sail with sunshine And a touch of wind Marshmallows sticky marshmallows I roast in the flame Shooting stars I watch shooting stars From the quilt where I lay It's summer time, summer time, summer time in Michigan Apples, juicy red apples In bushels everywhere Pencils a bouquet of pencils Patiently wait on my desk Trees shed their leaves like feathers from a dove Piled up like pillows for everyone to jump It's fall time, fall time, fall time in Michigan Hill tops we sled down hill tops As fast as we can go Snow man we built a snow man When came the first snow Hot chocolate we sip, hot chocolate let it warm our soul All the lakes are frozen over so ice fishing we go It's winter time, winter time, winter time in Michigan

By & By 04:03
There's a land brighter than day Our eyes can only see it with faith Over the way our Father waits To welcome us to a safe dwelling place In the sweet by and by In the sweet by and by We will meet You and I You and I In the sweet, in the sweet, by and by We will sing on the beautiful shore The melodious songs of the blessed And our spirits shall sorrow no more Not a sigh for the blessing of rest In the sweet by and by In the sweet by and by We will meet You and I You and I In the sweet, in the sweet, by and by To my father above I will offer up my thanks For the glorious gift of love And the blessings that hallow our days
