Across The Bridge Composer(s): Walter Scott Performer(s): Jim Reeves; Clarence Fountain
I had lived a life of sin in this world were living in I had done forbidden things I shouldn't do I met a beggar along the way, and I asked him where to stay Where I'd find real happiness and love that's true
Just follow footsteps of the King and you'll hear the voices sing They'll be singing out the glory of the Lamb The river of Jordan will be near, the sound of trumpets you will hear You'll behold the sweetest voice ever known to man
Many in this worldly throng traveling in the paths of wrong Never stop to pray and find the Savior true There's a grand and glorious place where we'll meet Him face to face In a happy land beyond the starry blue
Across the bridge, there's no more sorrow Across the bridge, theres' no more pain The Sun will shine across the river And you'll never be unhappy again

Oh, Please Say you're not intending to please Speed that happy ending and please Tell me that you love me too. Your eyes reveal that you have the soul of An angel white as snow How long must I play the role of A gloomy Romeo? Oh, please Say you're not intending to tease Speed that happy ending and please Tell me that you love me too

Pleasant Valley Sunday Composer(s): Gerry Goffin; Carole King Performer(s): The Monkees; and various other artists
The local rock group down the street Is trying hard to learn their song Seranade the weekend squire Who just came out to mow his lawn
Another pleasant valley Sunday (Sunday) Charcoal burning everywhere Rows of houses that are all the same And no one seems to care
See Mrs. Gray, she's proud today Because her roses are in bloom Mr. Green, he's so serene He's got a T.V. in every room
Another pleasant valley Sunday (Sunday) Here in status symbol land Mothers complain about how hard life is And the kids just don't understand
Creature comfort goals They only numb my soul And make it hard for me to see (Ah, ah ,ah, ah) My thoughts all seem to stray Somewhere far away I need a change of scenery
Another pleasant valley Sunday (Sunday) Charcoal burning everywhere Another pleasant valley Sunday Here in status symbol land
Another pleasant valley Sunday (Another pleasant valley Sunday) Another pleasant valley Sunday (Another pleasant valley Sunday) Another pleasant valley Sunday (Another pleasant valley Sunday) Another pleasant valley Sunday (Another pleasant valley Sunday) Another pleasant valley Sunday (Another pleasant valley Sunday) Another pleasant valley Sunday (Another pleasant valley Sunday) Another pleasant valley Sunday....
Celeste era el mar celeste era yo pincelada de alas blancas bajo un sol en borrador sereno era el mar sereno era yo de afuera pa´ dentro vuela esta canción
Así fue que en esa playa tomé una caña para pescar mi anzuelo cruzaba el cielo como un lucero que cae al mar abajo casi ignorantes de mi intención nobles habitantes haber quién es el primero en picar yo lo sentí por aquí o lo sentí por allá parece que una jaiba quiere jugar
Celeste era el mar, celeste era yo una brisa fina un cangrejo que lima su brazo gladiador sereno era el mar, ansioso era yo planeta de agua busca el fuego del sol
Y así fue pasando el tiempo y el firmamento empezó a girar la luz llegaba desde arriba y el mar traía un rumor Austral abajo hablaban las caracolas en espiral de olas y olas mi anzuelo siguió caminando el fondo del mar yo lo sentí por aquí o lo sentí por allá vámonos despacito a otro lugar
Celeste era el mar, celeste era yo la tarde que pasa la Luna que baja silbando una canción sereno era el mar, sereno era yo parece que sólo he pescado un rayo de sol
Y así volviendo por la arena sentí en las venas mi pleamar el viento trajo desde el norte rumor de voces y de ciudad el faro inicia su alumbramiento y en mi ventana tus ojos pequeños navegaron esa noche de Luna y mar y te sentí por aquí me imaginé por allá sirena y espuma blanca magia en el mar
Playmates Composer(s): Saxie Dowell Performer(s): Kay Kyser; and various other artists
There's a catchy little tune a floatin' through the air You hear it here and there They sing it ev'rywhere How it started, where it started seems nobody knows But what's the diff'rence where it came from Here's the way it goes...
Oh Playmate, come out and play with me And bring your dollies three Climb up my apple tree Look down my rain barrel Slide down my cellar door And we'll be jolly friends forever more
She could'nt come out and play It was a sunny day With tearful eye, she breathed a sigh and I could hear her say I'm sorry Playmate, I cannot play with you My dollies have the flu Boo-hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo Ain't got no rain barrel Aint got not cellar door But we'll be friends forever more
Oh Playmate, come out and play with me And bring your dollies three Climb up my apple tree Look down my rain barrel Slide down my cellar door And we'll be jolly friends forever more

The First Day Of Love First performance by: Anne-Karine Ström - 1974
And today is the first day of living 'Understanding' - the word of the day So with faith in the things we believe in There will always be help on the way
We are changing the tide every hour We are clearing the sky up above And we know that with our newborn power Every day is the first day of love
In our song - the final solution We have used the words on the wall Awaiting the love revolution We all know the curtain will fall
Can't you feel the silent ovation? Don't you know it's only the start? In tune with your own generation You are finding love in your heart
And today is the first day of living 'Understanding' - the word of the day So, with faith in the things we believe in There will always be help on the way
We are changing the tide every hour We are clearing the sky up above And we know that with our newborn power Every day is the first day of love
Even though we're at the beginning We are going down the same road At last we can say we are winning We have help to carry our load
And today is the first day of living 'Understanding' - the word of the day So, with faith in the things we believe in There will always be help on the way
We are changing the tide every hour We are clearing the sky up above And we know that with our newborn power Every day is the first day of love
Playground Twist Composer(s): John McKay; Kenny Morris; Steve Severin; Siouxsie And The Banshees Performer(s): Siouxsie And The Banshees
Hanging.... Hanging from your daisy chains Swinging in the trees Running from your enemies And falling on your knees On your knees Get down on your knees
Throw the dice You three blind mice Did you ever see Such a thing in your life You swallow the trail But still arrive Inside your entrails
Hanging.... Hanging out at party games Dancing in the shadows Up and down on the see-saw Balancing the scales You're drunk Yet you're balancing the scales
Someone to blame Someone to shame Someone who you can claim Go back the to pass the parcel And follow the leader
Hanging.... Hanging from your climbing frames Swinging in the gallows Laughing with your buddies But you can drown when you're shallow You can drown....
Slippery St. Paul Composer(s): Patrick Simmons Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers
Down along the river, where the big bulrushes grow you find the old frog jump in the water He won't come up no more, babe He won't come up no more, baby He won't come up no more, woo He won't come up no more, sugar mama He won't come up no more
Smell that burnin' fire, baby, burnin' in the sand See that devil rise, mama He sho' wanna take yo' hand, now He sho' wanna take yo' hand, baby He sho' wanna take yo' hand, woo He sho' wanna take yo' hand, sugar mama He sho' wanna take yo' hand
Oh harvest moon keep shinin' your light down on me The lord reach out his hand; my soul floats on out to thee
I don't feel no pain, when they shot me down Lay my body out, baby They put me in the ground, so cold They put me in the ground, baby They put me in the ground, woo They put me in the ground, sugar mama They put me in the ground
Playground In My Mind Composer(s): Paul Vance; Lee Pockriss Performer(s): Clint Holmes; and various other artists
When this old world gets me down and there's no love to be found I close my eyes and soon I find I'm in a playground in my mind Where the children laugh and the children play And we sing a song all day
My name is Michael, I've got a nickel, I've got a nickel shiny and new I'm gonna buy me all kinds of candy, that's what I'm gonna do
In the wonders that I find in the playground in my mind In a world that used to be, close your eyes and follow me Where the children laugh and the children play And we'll sing a song all day
My girl is Cindy, when we get married we're gonna have a baby or two We're gonna let them visit their grandma, that's what we're gonna do
(tag lines concurrent with background singers singing verses two and four)
Living in a world that I left behind Happy little children In the playground in my mind See the little children See how they play in the playground in my mind La la la----------

All of the bells in the town are ringin' Say can't you hear all the people singin' 'Cause of the way the band can play that playful melody Oh how your happy feet will wander Onto the dancin' floor down yonder When they play that playful melody Happy as you are find a little star Place it in the sky above Make it big and bright and its shiny light has to light the night For those who fall in love You'll see a field full of leaf clover Your happiness has to bubble over 'Cause of the way the band will play that playful melody 'Cause of the way the band will play that playful melody
