Lazy Day Composer(s): George Fischoff - Tony Powers Performer(s): Spanky & Our Gang
Blue Skies, sunshine, what a day to take a walk in the park Ice Cream, daydream til the sky becomes a blanket of stars What a day for picking daisies and lots of red balloons And what a day for holdin' hands and being with you
Lazy Day, just right for lovin' away Lazy Day, made for a stroll in the lane Baby, you and me (baby, you and me) And the honeybee (neath the shady tree) Lazy Day, Lazy Day, Lazy Day for you and me
Blue skies, sunshine, flowers bloomin', children sayin' "Hello"
Rowboats, bird notes, People smilin' everywhere that we go What a day to be together, and what a sky of blue And what a day for thinkin' right out loud "I love you"

Bend it, bend it, just a little bit And take it easy, show you're likin' it And lover, you know that we're gonna hit The heights 'cos I'm sure that we're made to fit Together just like pieces of a Jigsaw puzzle, what's the hustle
Bend it, bend it, just a little more Without you, baby, I'm so insecure But you can make me feel that I am sure I've got a sickness only you can cure So just relax, there's stacks of time, but honey Please don't tease me - try to please me
Oh-yeah, that's good, oh-yes, ah-yes
Bend it, bend it, just a little bit And take it easy, show you're likin' it And lover, you know that we're gonna hit The heights 'cos I'm sure that we're made to fit Together just like pieces of a Jigsaw puzzle, what's the hustle
Bend it, bend it, just a little bit And take it easy, show you're likin' it And ahhh... show me now, yeah that's right Ah, oh yeah, yeah that's right C'mon now, right right right ...

Lazy bones, sleepin' in the sun....how you spect to get your day's work done? You can't get your day's work done......sleepin' in the noon day sun

Ben, most people would turn you away (Turn you away) I don't listen to a word they say (A word they say) They don't see you as I do I wish they would try to I'm sure they'd think again If they had a friend like Ben (A friend) Like Ben (Like Ben) Like Ben
Lazy Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Al Jolson and multiple other artists
Every time I see a puppy On a summers day A puppy dog at play My heart is filled with envy That's why I'm in such a hurry To pass the time away Like the pup, I'm all fed up, and Though it's wrong to be, I long to be
Lazy I wanna be lazy I'm longing to lay in the sun With no work to be done Under that awning They call the sky Stretching and yawning And let the world go drifting by I wanna peep Through the deep Tangled wildwood Counting sheep 'Til I sleep Like a child would With a great big valise full Of books to read where it's peaceful While I'm killing time, being lazy
Lazy I wanna be lazy I'm longing to lay in the sun With no work to be done Under that awning They call the sky Stretching and yawning And let the world go drifting by I wanna peep Through the deep Tangled wildwood Counting sheep 'Til I sleep Like a child would With a great big valise full Of books to read where it's peaceful While I'm killing time, being lazy

What'll you do when you get lonely And nobody's waiting by your side? You've been running and hiding much too long You know it's just your foolish pride
Layla, you've got me on my knees Layla, I'm begging, darling please Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind
I tried to give you consolation When your old man had let you down Like a fool, I fell in love with you Turned my whole world upside down
Layla, you've got me on my knees Layla, I'm begging, darling please Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind
Let's make the best of the situation Before I finally go insane Please don't say we'll never find a way And tell me all my love's in vain
Layla, you've got me on my knees Layla, I'm begging, darling please Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind
Below The Surface Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Some people tell you they're trapped by the distance And can't get what they want most They throw a wall and then call for assistance And make no attempt to get close
(Chorus) Oh, I think you should know You've got to go slow below the surface And easy through the waves You better go slow below the surface And easy through the waves
You're running so fast that you can't find the past And your future is wearing thin Come from behind it's a matter of time 'Til you see where you've always been
(Chorus)
Some people tell you they're in trapped by the distance And can't get what they want most They throw up a wall and then call for assistance And make no attempt to get close Oh, I think you should know You've better go slow below the surface And easy through the waves You better go slow below the surface And easy through the waves
You know that your life must have a purpose You better make a stand while you still can
Laying Down The Law Composer(s): Andrew Farriss - Dave Banks - Gary Beers - Jon Farriss - Kirk Pengilly - Michael Hutchence Performer(s): INXS; Jimmy Barnes
Yow!
I'm laying down the law A showdown in the north land Just a whiff of corruption It's the tip of the iceberg
Savour it, sweet liberty And there's trouble from the south Shout it from the gallery Now fine, I got to shout it out
I'm searching for a light To kill my sense of fear To break through darkened nights And take me through the year
There's no need to tell you What I think has gone wrong There's gray clouds on descendtion That show, that show a silver lining
Sweet blood on my razor Is it poetry or politics Forget about the nightmare And make it a dream that changes everything
And I'm searching for a light To kill my sense of fear To break through darkened nights And take me through the year
No, you don't understand Listen! Listen to me!
Sweet blood on my razor Is it poetry or politics Forget about the nightmare And make a dream that changes everything
Well, I'm searching for a light To kill my sense of fear To break through darkened nights And take me through the years
I'm searching for a light To kill my sense of fear And break through darkened nights And take me through the year
I'm searching for the light To kill my sense of fear
I'm searching for the light To save it through the years
Beloved Composer(s): Nicholas Brodszky; Paul Francis Webster Performer(s): Mario Lanza and various other artists
Tonight was just a masquerade Tomorrow just another day Let come whatever, tonight or never I'll throw the mask away
Beloved! With all my heart I love you With ev'ry breath I pray some day you will be mine Summer or spring Winter or fall You are my life, my love, my all
Beloved! The very stars above you Are jealous of the way your eyes sparkle and shine Day after day Near or apart I try to say, be still my trembling heart
But try though I may, I cannot hide This passion inside, that won't be denied If this be madness, then, call it madness I only know I'll never rest 'til you are mine
Beloved! Believe me when I tell you From now until the last bright star fades from the blue Now and forever, whatever I do Beloved! I love you!
Lay Lady Lay ((French Version: Lady Lay (by Pierre Groscolas) - 1974)) Composer(s): Bob Dylan First release by: Bob Dylan - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed Whatever colors you have in your mind I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean And you're the best thing that he's ever seen
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile Why wait any longer for the world to begin You can have your cake and eat it too Why wait any longer for the one you love When he's standing in front of you
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead I long to see you in the morning light I long to reach for you in the night Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
Belonging Composer(s): David Gates Performer(s): Bread
I wanted love so very bad that I could almost taste it And so I gave mine all to you And hoped you would not waste it I laid awake the whole night long And wondered was I wrong But when you woke and touched my face I knew that I belonged
Belonging to someone I find is very necessary The load is lighter on your mind When someone helps to carry And even though Im strong enough To make it on my own I would not even care to try To live my life alone
For if I lived my life alone With no one to belong to Thered be no one to pledge my heart Or sing my song of love to My melodies would soon dry up And the words would leave me too It all would come to pass if I Could not belong to you
I wanted love so very bad that I could almost taste it And when I gave mine all to you I knew you would not waste it
Lay Down Your Arms Composer(s): Gerhard - Land - Robertson Performer(s): Anne Shelton
Come to the station, jump from the train March at the double, down lover's lane Then in the glen where the roses entwine Lay down your arms (Lay down your arms) Lay down your arms and surrender to mine
My sweetheart is a soldier, as handsome as can be But suddenly they sent him, away across the sea So patiently I waited, until his leave was due Then wrote and said "My darling, I'll tell you what to do"
Come to the station, jump from the train March at the double, down lover's lane Then in the glen where the roses entwine Lay down your arms (Lay down your arms) Lay down your arms and surrender to mine
A soldier is a soldier, and when he's on parade An order is an order, and has to be obeyed You've got to do your duty, wherever you may be And now you're under orders, to hurry home to me
Come to the station, jump from the train March at the double, down lover's lane Then in the glen where the roses entwine Lay down your arms (Lay down your arms) Lay down your arms and surrender to mine
The girl who loves a soldier, is either sad or gay 'Cos first of all he's with her, and then he's far away But soldiers have their duty, to answer to the call And that is why I'm calling, the loudest of them all
Come to the station, jump from the train March at the double, down lover's lane Then in the glen where the roses entwine Lay down your arms (Lay down your arms) Lay down your arms and surrender to mine Lay down your arms and surrender to mine Lay down your arms and surrender to mine
Bells Are Ringing Composer(s): Jule Styne; Betty Comden; Adolph Green Performer(s): Eddie Heim and various other artists
All around, there's the sound of the midsummers night Bells in the air are ringing evrywhere I can hear footsteps that pass on the street And lovers rushing to meet Here alone I can only imagine the sight Me on the town, in some bewitching gown But I just wait at the end of the line As bells are ringing, the bells keep ringing Oh why, oh why can't the next call be mine
Thank you, thank you, thank you Susanswerphone Ah-ahhh!
Lay Down Sally Composer(s): Eric Clapton - Marcy Levy - George Terry First release by: Eric Clapton - 1977
There is nothing that is wrong In wanting you to stay here with me I know you've got somewhere to go But won't you make yourself at home and stay with me? And don't you ever leave
Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms Don't you think you want someone to talk to? Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon I've been trying all night long just to talk to you
The sun ain't nearly on the rise And we still got the moon and stars above Underneath the velvet skies Love is all that matters. Won't you stay with me? And don't you ever leave
Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms Don't you think you want someone to talk to? Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon I've been trying all night long just to talk to you
I long to see the morning light Coloring your face so dreamily So don't you go and say goodbye You can lay your worries down and stay with me And don't you ever leave
