What I see is beautiful, everywhere I go,
walking in a springtime rain or in December snow.
Each time we are together, every moment of each season,
makes living so much better, and I don't need a reason.
It's just love.
Stars appear on cloudy nights, sunshine clears the rain.
Darkness can't keep out the light, no two days are the same.
You fill my life with pleasure and my dreams now all are pleasing.
Each night with you I treasure, and I don't need a reason.
It's just love.
If I had to change my life, there's nothing I would do,
'cause I could never learn to live my lifetime without you.
My face is always glowing as you give my life a meaning.
This bond we share is growing, and we don't need a reason.
It's just love.
What I see is beautiful, everywhere I go,
understanding all the things I never used to know.
My world revolves around you, every fiber of my being.
I'll let my love surround you, and I don't need a reason.
It's just love.

1976 - MONDAY MEMO MANIA BLUES
It's Monday, Bloody Monday
and you're sitting in your office
and you're waiting for your secretary's pencil
to jot down what the words will be
in this week's sacred homily
to be typed up accordingly on stencil.
I've got those Monday memo mania blues again.
Sometimes I feel like carbon paper is my only one true friend.
I've got those Monday memo mania blues again.
"Do not park out on the parking lot
in spaces that are clearly marked
for parking, but of course, aren't marked for you.
And if you choose to disobey, we'll tow your little car away.
Expense incurred is to be paid by you."
"By memo of a week ago,
we made it clear for all to know
that someone's stealing food from our ice box.
And though precautions have been made,
it's my unpleasant job to say
that now it seems somebody stole the locks."
I've got those Monday memo mania blues again.
Sometimes it seems like carbon paper is my only one true friend.
I've got those Monday memo mania blues again.
"While punching out the clock at five,
if you should wish to stay alive,
your best bet is to heed this here epistle.
For if by some chance you are caught
while punching someone else's card,
you're subject to immediate dismissal."

1976 - HUSBANDS AND WIVES
What makes a woman love a man?
What makes her try as hard as she can to please him?
Why does she try so hard again and again?
What makes a man fall in love?
What does he act like the stars above have fallen down?
Why does his head seem to spin around and around?
Reasons are somehow clearer
when you've found the key to your heart.
Moments of life become dearer
as you worship its every part.
What makes to people become a pair?
What are their reasons for sharing each other's lives?
Guess that's the love the makes the husbands and wives.

1976 - JIMMY (I STILL LOVE YOU)
I've spent the past few years just staring into space
surrounded my memories that time could not erase.
The plans that we once made
have just begun to fade.
I'm beginning to see the facts I'll have to face.
It's hard to understand and still I wonder why
when love was at its best, my lover had to die.
I've needed, oh so much,
your warm and gentle touch
and without you, it's impossible to survive.
Jimmy, your were my life
and even thought I'll never get to be your wife,
I still love you. Yes, I still love you.
I've been told that through the years
sorrow and pain are washed away.
If that's true, then why do tears
come easier to my eyes every day?
No matter what I've done, no matter what I've tried,
there's still no coping with the pain down deep inside.
Until the end of time,
my son will never shine.
In the shadow of your memory I will hide.
Jimmy, your were my life
and even thought I'll never get to be your wife,
I still love you. Yes, I still love you.
It's been so hard to forget
all the love I used to know,
all the happy thoughts, and yet
all along I always knew you'd have to go.
It's been a long time now, my loving days are through.
I guess I've met them all, but none will ever do.
With no one else I'll share,
for no one could compare.
I'll never love anyone again as I loved you.

1975 - OCEAN CITY, MARYLAND
Ocean City, Maryland.
Reservations in advance, or you'll never get the chance
to stay in Ocean City, Maryland.
Where the smell of golden french fries
always make your stomach churn.
And if you fall asleep 'neath the noonday sun,
it's a cinch you'll always burn.
Ocean City, Maryland.
"Tony's Pizza" is a gas. A little greasy, but it's class
down there in Ocean City, Maryland.
And let us not forget the rides
and the amusements on the pier
and if you go to Phillips, just remember,
you don't have to bring your own beer.
Ocean City, Maryland.
Waves will thrust you to the shore, but you'll always shout for more
down there in Ocean City, Maryland.
And when you're walking on the beach,
with your lover, hand in hand,
it's a time that's so romantic 'til you
hit the dog poop in the sand.
Ocean City, Maryland.
It's the place I shall retire, when I've embers 'stead of fire,
right down in Ocean City, Maryland.
And in the evening when it's late and you are beaching,
that's when those mighty ocean waves begin their preaching.
They say that beach resorts are everywhere
but there are none that can compare
to Maryland's resort beneath the sun.
Ocean City is the place for everyone.
Ocean City is synonymous with fun!
Ocean City, Maryland. Ocean City, Maryland.
Ocean City, Maryland. Ocean City!
And in the evening when it's late and you are beaching,
that's when those mighty ocean waves begin their preaching.
They say that breach resorts are everywhere
but there are none that can compare
to Maryland's resort beneath the sun.

1970-1972 - WHO'S GONNA MISS
Who's gonna miss the flowers when they don't come up again?
Who's gonna miss the beauty of their glow?
Who's gonna wonder why we haven't seen them?
Who's gonna care and who is gonna know?
Who's gonna miss the sunshine of a August day?
Who's gonna miss the warmth it always brings?
Who's gonna care when clear blue skies have gone to gray?
Who's gonna care when birds no loner sing?
Flowers, sun and clear blue skies are what make life worthwhile.
The world around us hurts our eyes and makes us lose our smiles.
But still, the more we hear goes in and out each ear.
We never want to know when we've been wrong.
And my one, greatest fear is that in some coming year
we'll kill ourselves, and it might not be long.
Who's gonna miss the forest and the open air?
Who's gonna mind the grass not being green?
Who's gonna miss the animals of everywhere?
Who's gonna miss the once so lovely scenes?
Who's gonna miss the ocean and its once abundent fish?
Who's gonna mind the water standing still?
Who's gonna offer more than just a shallow wish?
Who's gonna notice? We will, yes, we will.
Who's gonna notice? We will, yes, we will.
Who's gonna miss the beauty of their glow?
Who's gonna wonder why we haven't seen them?
Who's gonna care and who is gonna know?
Who's gonna miss the sunshine of a August day?
Who's gonna miss the warmth it always brings?

1970-1972 - WHISPERING
Whispering softly into your ear
phrases I can't say out loud.
Guess you could say that I'm proud and afraid
of the plans I have made being in vain,
but devoted to you I will always remain.
Whispering gently into your mind
thoughts which could well outlast time, if given a chance.
Yet I never get a second glance from you,
and despite what I feel, you still seem unreal.
Love is more than a word
but you must not have heard my heart.
I have felt this way from the start
and I will forever and more.
Whispering peaceful and free.
Such an emotion inside of me.
I'm trapped in a world that is new
and a world where loving you
is a question without any answer.
So with one final hope, I will spend one more moment
to whisper.
