The Time It Is Today Performer(s): The Association
Sunrise, sunset What you're born with is what you get Let your fear just pass away Then your love will fill your days I know
I need so little, yet so much Child's sweet laughter, woman's touch I can't say just what is real All I know is what I feel I know
The time it is today And we must find our way My heartbeat clearly states The answer's not in hate I once believed That love was but a dream But now I know That love's a flowing stream
They're lyin', killin' They're pushin' their rules They tell you the prophets All were just fools But I know different And I won't be used It's they that are lost It's they are confused They are confused They are confused
Sunrise, sunset What you're born with is what you get All your worries, all your fears They don't change the passing years I know
Come Sail Away Composer(s): Dennis DeYoung Originally performed by: Styx Covered by various other artists
I'm sailing away set an open course for the virgin sea I've got to be free free to face the life that's ahead of me On board I'm the captain so climb aboard We'll search for tomorrow on every shore And I'll try oh Lord I'll try to carry on
I look to the sea reflections in the waves spark my memory Some happy some sad I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had We live happily forever so the story goes But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold But we'll try best that we can to carry on
A gathering of angels appeared above my head They sang to me this song of hope and this is what they said They said come sail away come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away come sail away Come sail away with me
I thought that they were angels but to my surprise They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies Singing come sail away come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away come sail away Come sail away with me
The Time Has Come Composer(s): Les Vandyke Performer(s): Adam Faith
The time has come for me to hang my head in shame The time has come for me to say that I'm to blame The time has come for love's return but it won't be the same Oh please believe me I won't make the same mistakes again
The time has come to end this very sad affair The time has come for you and I once more to share a summers kiss But love's return won't ever be the same Oh please believe me I won't make the same mistakes again
No more sorrows, no more cheating Our tomorrows won't be repeating the past
So here am I to ask if you can still forgive If you can love, the time has come for love to live With no regrets, but take my word that love won't be the same Oh please believe me I won't make the same mistakes again
Oh please believe me I won't make the same mistakes again

Road To Rio Composer(s): Al Blake Performer(s): Canned Heat
Well, I was livin' on the road Couldn't get a decent meal My baby, she gave me a dirty deal Now I'm hitchhikin' on the road to Rio Tryin' to flag a ride from an automobile
Won't somebody stop and let me ride? Why don't you stop and let me ride? Won't somebody let me ride? I'm movin' on down the line
I'm standing on the road right by the side Nobody knows how many tears I've cried I've even thought about suicide I guess it must be time to take a ride
Won't somebody stop and let me ride? Why don't you stop and let me ride? Won't somebody let me ride? I'm movin' on down the line
Standin' on the road right by the side Watchin' all the cars keep passin' by The sun's goin' down, but I don't mind I'm gonna catch a ride if it takes all night
Won't somebody stop and let me ride? Why don't you stop and let me ride? Won't somebody let me ride? I'm movin' on down the line
Now it was 2:00 am and I was high and dry This beautiful chick gave me the eye She opened the door and I slid by her side And we headed on down the line
I'm so glad she stopped and let me ride Somebody finally let me ride I'm so glad she stopped and let me ride We're gonna boogie on down the line
Rio One hundred miles ahead We're gonna moving on down the line

We're off on the road to Morocco Well look out, well clear the way, 'cause here we come Stand by for a concussion The men eat fire, sleep on nails and saw their wives in half It seems to me there should be easier ways to get a laugh (shall I slip on my big shoes?)
Off on the road to Morocco Hooray! Well blow a horn, everybody duck Yeah. it's a green light, come on boys
We may run into villains but we're not afraid to roam Because we read the story and we end up safe at home (yeah) Certainly do get around Like Webster's Dictionary we're Morocco bound

Or, like a volume of Omar Khayyam that you buy in the department store at Christmas time for your cousin Julia We're Morocco bound (we could be arrested)
