1. _ Love Is a Rose
CHORUS:
Love is a rose
But you better not pick it
It only grows when it's on the vine
A handful of thorns,
And you'll know you've missed it
You lose your love when you say the word "mine"
I want to see what's never been seen
I want to live an age-old dream
Come along, boys, we can go together
Let's take the best right now
Take the best right now
CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
(Take the best right now)
I want to go to an old hotel
Long ago in a western town
Pick me up 'cause my feet are draggin'
Give me a lift and I'll hay your wagon
CHORUS (2x)
Mine
Love is a rose (mine)
Love is a rose (mine)
Love is a rose (mine)
Love is a rose
CHORUS (2x)
Love is a rose
Love is a rose
(repeat and fade out)

2. _ Autumn Leaves
Autumn leaves fall and are swept out of sight
The words that you said have gone too
Autumn leaves fall and are swept out of sight
So are the memories of love that we knew
The wind of forgetfulness blows then
Into the night of regret,
The song you would often sing
Is echoing, echoing yet
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away, the days grow long
And soon, I'll hear old winter's song
But I'll miss you most of all, my darling,
When autumn leaves start to fall
When autumn leaves start to fall

3. _ Nickels and Dimes
I used to stand on the corner when I was a child
And I would play my guitar and sing as the people went by
The sidewalks were crowded, but I'd just sing louder 'cause I didn't mind
Spending my time, spending my rhymes, and singing for nickels and dimes
Nickels and dimes, a song at a time for nickels and dimes
I'd brighten their day as they'd go on their way and they'd brighten mine
A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that I held in my mind
I knew that someday, in my own special way, I'd repay all their nickels and dimes
I recall the sidewalks each night as I stand on the stage
As I play my guitar and sing for the people who pay
'Cause finally, I made it to what they all call the Big Time
But I still remember I still owe some nickels and dimes
Nickels and dimes, a song at a time for nickels and dimes
A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that I held in my mind
So, if you remember a child on the corner of time,
You'll know that I wrote this to repay your nickels and dimes
(repeat and fade out)

4. _ Roses Love Sunshine
Roses love sunshine
Violets love dew
Angels love heaven
And so, I love you
If you don't love me,
Love whom you please
But let me be near you
Give my heart ease
I'm building a castle
Forty feet high
So I can see you
As you go by
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
Throw your arms around me
Before it's too late
Put your head on my shoulder
Feel my heart ache
We'll walk together
Through life's hard line
Knowing forever
You will be mine
Roses love sunshine
Violets love dew
Angels love heaven
And so, I love you

5. _ Even Now
Moon in the sky softly creeping
Over the time from above
And I lie awake hardly sleeping
So lonely for only your love
Even now, each night, I remember
Days of summer when blossoms filled each bough
In the cold, gray days of December,
My darling, I miss you even now
When will I see you again?
Come to my arms where you belong
My world will be empty till then
For you are the words to my song
Even now, each night, I remember
Days of summer when blossoms filled each bough
In the cold, gray days of December,
My darling, I miss you even now
In the cold, gray days of December,
My darling, I miss you even now

6. _ There's a Time
There's a time, there's a time,
Time for summer and for snow,
Time for love to grow,
And to end in lonely tears
There's a place I adore
That I fear I'll see no more
I will see no more
Though I live for a hundred years
There's a time for losing all you want
And a time for traveling on
But the hurt in my heart,
It goes on from day to day,
Will not go away,
Keeps on longing for what's gone
There's a time, there's a time
When a love is young and new
Heaven's painted blue
When we lay in the summer grass
For a time, for a time,
You were so in love with me
So, how was I to see
That the summer would pass?
Now, you ride the ocean, chase the stars
Underneath some far-away sky
And the hurt in my heart
Knows you're never coming home,
Never coming home
Till the day the sea runs dry
In my dreams, in my dreams,
You have left yourself behind
You caress my mind
When the nights grow dark and chill
Vagabond, vagabond
Always traveling beyond,
Where's the magic wand
That will bring you nearer still?
There's a time for holding to your dreams
And a time for starting anew
But the hurt in my heart,
It goes on from day to day,
Never goes away
For it's all I have left of you

7. _ Sweet Surrender
Lost and alone on some forgotten highway
Traveled by many, remembered by few
Looking for something that I can believe in,
Looking for something that I'd like to do
With my life
There's nothing behind me and nothing that ties me
To something that might have been true yesterday
Tomorrow is open and right now, it seems
To be more than enough to just be here today
And I don't know what the future is holding in store
I don't know where I'm going, I'm not sure where I've been
There's a spirit that guides me, a light that shines for me
My life is worth the living, I don't need to see the end
CHORUS:
Sweet, sweet surrender
Live, live without care
Like a fish in the water,
Like a bird in the air
(2x)
Lost and alone on some forgotten highway
Traveled by many, remembered by few
Looking for something that I can believe in,
Looking for something that I'd like to do
With my life
There's nothing behind me and nothing that ties me
To something that might have been true yesterday
Tomorrow is open and right now, it seems
To be more than enough to just be here today
And I don't know what the future is holding in store
I don't know where I'm going, I'm not sure where I've been
There's a spirit that guides me, a light that shines for me
My life is worth the living, I don't need to see the end
CHORUS

8. _ All over the World
As I've looked around
At the life I'm living,
More and more, I found
Life is for the giving
Children know the way
Loving and forgiving
CHORUS:
All over the world,
The children are singing
All over the world,
You see them at play
Why must we destroy
The joy they are bringing?
All over the world,
Let love show the way
Then, we were very young
Love's a gift for sharing
But as we grow up,
We forget the caring
Why must we go on
Distrusting and despairing?
CHORUS
Innocent and free,
Hear the children's laughter
Why can't people be
Happy ever after?
Let this song of hope
Ring from every rafter
CHORUS
There in Neverland,
See the children playing,
Walking hand in hand
Innocently playing
Can't we understand
A single word they're saying?
CHORUS (2x)

9. _ Tomorrow Is a Long Time
If today was not on a lost highway,
If tonight was not a crooked tale,
If tomorrow was not such a long time,
Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all
I can't see my reflection in the waters,
Can't speak the sounds that show no pain
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps,
Can't remember the sound of my own name
Yes, and only if my true love was waiting
And if I could hear his heart softly pounding,
Only if he was lying by me,
Then I'd lie in my bed
Once again
There's beauty in the summer singing river
There's beauty in the sunrise in the skies
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
That I remember in my true love's eyes
Yes, and only if my true love was waiting
And if I could hear his heart softly pounding,
Only if he was lying by me,
Then I'd lie in my bed
Once again

10. _ I Never Will Marry
They say that love's a gentle thing
To me, brought only pain
Since the only man I ever loved
Is gone on the morning train
CHORUS:
I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I will remain single
For the rest of my life
Now, the train pulled out, the whistle blew
With a long and lonesome moan
He's gone, he's gone like the morning dew
And left me all alone
CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
Now, there's many a change in the winter wind
And a change in the clouds' design
There's many a change in the young girl's heart
But never a change in mine
CHORUS (2x)

11. _ Down by the Greenwood Side
There was a fair maiden lived in the north
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
She fell in love with her father's clerk
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
He courted her a year and a day
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
Till her, the young man did betray
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
She leaned her back against the thorn
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
And there, two bonny boys, she's born
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
She's taken out her little knife
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
And she's robbed them of their life
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
There, she walked by her father's wall
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
She saw her two bonny boys playing ball
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
Oh, bonny boys, if you were mine,
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
I'd dress you up in silk so fine
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
Oh, mother dear, when we were dying,
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
You did not treat us then so fine
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
Now, bonny boys, come tell to me
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
What sort of life I'll have after dying?
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
Seven years of visions of blood
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
And seven years of hurt in the womb
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
Seven years down in the mourning bell
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
And seven years in the flames of hell
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
Welcome, welcome, visions of blood
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
And welcome, welcome, hurt in the womb
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
Welcome down to the mourning bell
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
But, God, save me from the flames of hell
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
Down by the Greenwood side
