1.Dancing Girls
I'd trade my life for a different scene
An old milk cow for some magic beans
What would i give？ what would i trade？
It's a question of passion -that it is.
I love you girl or excuse me, miss
Did i get by or make the grade？
Bye-bye to the dancing girls
Bye-bye . so long.
He was eleven and she only twelve
Just old enough to dress themselves
Was i just too dumb to see？
They met at the fair under autumn's spell
After casting each a penny in a wishing well
But, it's too late she's history
Bye-bye to the dancing girls
Bye-bye . so long.
Everytime i see your face i fall in love again
I've got to stop throwing it all away
-all away
Read my book. pick your page.
Hire the band and set the stage because
Everything is holding tight
Everything is feeling right
And i'll say
Bye-bye to the dancing girls
Bye-bye . so long.
2.Halo
What have i done to get you down？
Has my heartache turned your smile around？
ôround, ôround, down, gone
Look up halo.
Size me up now before i'm dead
Believe what you see,
Burn what you've read
Maybe, baby, when i'm gone
Look up halo
Halo, she's got a smile for me. halo.
Halo, who knows what she sees. halo.
I'm as perfect as the man next door
Borrow sugar when i ain't got no more
Sugarbaby, sugar's low
Look up, halo
I love you girl 'til my face turns blue
But, i don't have to hold my breath for you
My breath to have, my breath to hold
Come on, halo
Chorus
She's the kind that shines
Everything's in her hands
Carry me to higher ground rise up, rise up
Staring down on what i've found
Well, i think i've found a smile for me
For me the smile until i see
What it is she see's in me say me,
My oh, my in her eyes i'm loving her constantly
Around, down, down
Drop me off, oh set me down yeah, baby
Look up, come on, look up
Things are looking up for me
Size me up so that you might see
That baby, maybe
For me and you. you and me. halo
She's got a smile for me,
Oh halo
Chorus
3.I Know
The dame went almost crazy yesterday
Trying to save me from myself
I know she loves me when she acts that way
Crying those tears just to bring me back
She keeps on smiling a she pulls away
Pushes me down and holds me down
I'd chase her shadow but the sky is gray
And it's time to go. she has got to go
But it makes no difference
Because i'm going to stay awhile
Rising up in the distance
She's going to let me follow
I know she stands for something
A different way for me
In my mind's eye she was a stowaway
On our last passage to spain
She never would have noticed me anyway
My face was washed away by the rain
'trust jesus' painted on the overpass
With every mile passing i believe
I think that something from this life has got to last
I'll drop it off when i leave
I know she stands for something
A different way for me
I know she stands for something
A different way for me
Yes, and i know it
4.Virginia
I know you so well
I could make you from scratch
My precious little puppet
With no strings attached
I like the way you dance around
And sing back to me
I'll take you back to virginia
For all my people to see
I just want to play what you want me to
I just want to say what you want me to
Oh, take me. take me back
Take me back to virginia,
Take me back i want to go back for good
Open a window put the dog at the foot of my bed
Sleep to the music of the ice cream man
And rest my head
If i wake up on the right side
I'll sit at my window and play
A song for my people from yesterday
Chorus
It's been seven years since i've seen you shine
And i see you when i'm sleeping
And i know i'm not lost as long as my lines are true
I just want to get back to you
I can still tell what it really means to be
Dancing to the music
As she sings out to me
Smiling and laughing as the people dance my soul
Take me back to virginia
From so long ago
Chorus
5.I Would For You
You say you never look back on life
A book you've already read
The pages blew by and so you did
So you did
You'd never look back for me
Though i might be here waiting
It was time to go and so you did
So you did
Oh, come see why i've fallen
And where i've come back from
And stay to understand my name
You know i would for you
All i ever did was hear you talk
About making it up to me
I know it's too late,
But you never
Did never did
I guess i'm holding out for life
Just have to wait and see
Forgive you is something that i never did
Never did
Chorus
You know that between these lifetimes
The sun is hovering high for you
And there i am holding up the sky
One last good-bye,
Truth for true
You know i would for you
Oh, come see why i've fallen
And where i've come back from
And stay to understand my name
You know i would for you
You know i would for you
6.Like You
I want to be like you
In a jam band where the lights crown me and i'm a superstar
I want to see like you
Over me and over them
I want to cry like you
Out my trivial and shallow opinion
On the state of things
I want to try like you
On a soapbox in front of them
And i can't claim to have a reason
Unless it's lost somewhere down deep
Could be i don't get enough attention
If time and talk were cheap
I'd want to be like you
What if i chose to walk like you？
Carrying around my designer personality
And biting my nails
If i could dance like you
I'd be a millionaire
I don't think this me would like you
But, damn just knowing that you are loving
Every single blink byé it makes me smile for you
Is anybody in there？
And i can't claim to have a reason
Unless it's lost somewhere down deep
Could be i don't get enough attention
If time and talk were cheap
I'd want to be like you
And i can't claim to have a reason
Unless it's lost somewhere down deep
Could be i don't get enough attention
If time and talk were cheap
I'd want to be like you
