SOMEBODY LIKE ME

Somebody woke up early, before the dawn was free,
sleep just wouldnât come my way , just wasnât meant to be,
somebody stayed up all night long just wondrinâ if it could be,
somebodyâs thinking of you, somebody like me.

Somebody spent the day-oh, just walkinâ by the shore,
seeing you in every wave, dreaminâ by the sea,
somebodyâs wants to love you, like youâve never been before,
hope you canât wait to be, with somebody like me.

I see you workinâ each and every day,
youâre mind is all wrapped up and youâre workinâ your heart away,
These beaches are just callinâ, canât you see?
that somebody wants to have some fun, somebody like me.

Somebody wants to play-oh, and I will sing it to the skies,
this sunny feeling, if youâll let it be,
Weâd be walkinâ in our bare feet as we greet the new sunrise,
tell me youâve been hoping for, somebody like me.

Until you ever get this rhythm,
how could you ever understand?
Donât you know that stars shine brighter all the time
when youâre holding somebodyâs hand?

So just say that itâs o.k. - oh, youâre going to break away with me,
cause thereâs no harm in this - as far as we can see.

Hey, Iâm singing for my life. Whoa, this sunny feeling. I hope youâll let it be.
Heaven, looking into those eyes. Say that you canât wait to see somebody just like me.

You might just wanna stay - oh by my side forevermore
and be my somebody, my somebody, be my somebody -oh.


GET YOUR SHOES ON

I had a dream. It seemed Iâd never, ever get it done.
Until the day I learned a way from a motherâs little son.
He couldnât get his shoes tied as his friends ran off ahead.
He hung his head. How he cried âtil his momma smiled and said...

âTake one lace across the other. Donât be worrying about the others.
Believe with all your heart. Thatâs the way you start.
One penny in the bottom of a fountain
ainât gonna carry you across that mountain.
No wish is half as true as the man inside of you.â

He worked so hard. He wanted so much to achieve his task.
You shouldâve seen his face when he finished that bow at last.
He was grinning from ear to ear as he rose to join the fun.
He wiped his eyes, he hugged his mom and he was on the run.

He took one lace across the other. Never compared himself with another.
Believed with all his heart. Thatâs the way you start.
She said, âOne penny in the bottom of a fountain
ainât gonna carry you across that mountain,
No wish is half as true as the man inside of you.â

Sometimes we just think too much,
entertaining all those doubts and fears.
That keep us from accomplishing our dreams
as the days give way to years.

So get going, get your shoes on,
start trying and it wonât be long.
He did it. You can do it, too.
You can get the job done, you can better than anyone.
Donât stop now âtil you see it through.
Who cares if it goes slow. Just keep on and before you know
your dreams will be coming true.


DESERT LILY

Drawn by the fire of the Indian Paintbrush, lured by the red rock towers, ooh,
Unaware that the desert is no place for flowers as delicate as she, Desert Lily.
And she wants to be wild and free to dance on the plains of a dried up sea.
And she wonât survive the two extremes
when the sunâs overhead and the full moon casts itsâ shadows, oh, Desert Lily.

There are mirages in the desert that will taunt you with their lies.
Where many peopleâs dreams and visions have vanished before their eyes.

She hears the cry of the spirit guide that soars overhead in the cold night sky,
She ignores the signs in the danger zones, the rattle snakes and the cattle bones â oh, Desert Lily.



RAIN ON ME

I see the edge of the darkening skies
creeping over like a curse
no need to get the story from the radio
I know the weatherâs turning for the worse Oh no,

When I think of you, memories start to trickling down
then the tears begin to fall
nothing I can do, the storm has come, so let it rain, rain on me

Rain on me, let the water pour down, Oh,
Rain on me, let the water run down my soul
Let it rain, rain on me.

Donât shelter me from the heavens
let the rain come crash against my skin
each tiny drop a tender remembrance
of the sweet times that might have been

Let the water run down, this pitiful child, like a river run wild
and wash away this pain, drown my heart, take it all away

Rain on me, let the water run down, let it, let roll
Rain on me, let the water pour down my soul
Let it rain, rain on me.
Let the water pour down, let it, let it roll
Rain on me, let the water pour down my soul
Let it rain, rain on me. Let the water pour down my soul
Let it rain on me.


STAR SAILOR


Itâs half past midnight, rest for awhile in this harbor so kind.
Before I turn around twice youâll be off again, star sailor of mine.

Star sailor, prince of the sky, watching and waiting for your time to fly.
I know itâs true by the look in your eyes. You have no intention of sleeping tonight.

Soon enough, youâll be gliding through space.
God alone knows what youâll find.
Can you give it a name? What calls you away?
Wonât you rest your heart here on mine?

Who put these visions and dreams in your head â
of the stars and the moon and the sun?
Itâs never enough just to look through the glass.
You wonât rest âtil youâve finally touched one. Refrain


BEFORE I SLEEP

Before I sleep, before I say âgoodnightâ, thereâs a few things running through my mind
Wonât wait âtil morning light. Did I make you feel like laughing - take the
worries of your day and turn them into smiles, as
you have done for me, a hundred million times,
so unselfishly.

Before I dream, before I sail away, if you
wouldnât mind my asking you to hold my hands and pray.
Did I tell you how I love you- how Iâm sorry for the things Iâve done that
made you sigh, let the sun set on my anger or put
tears in those eyes that mean the world to me.

Did I make the world a better place with the things Iâve said and done?
Did I take good care of all the things I have?
Did I share in someoneâs dream, have the heart and the time to make it happen?
Have I become all that I was meant to be?


Before I slip off to somewhere Iâve never been my darlinâ
Iâve been dreaminâ of, some way to say that Iâm so glad our
God above blessed my life with your love
and will you be mine forever?
I could hold you for eternity.

You truly have been my best friend. I love you
now. Iâll love you when I go to sleep.


GEMINI GIRL

She walks the way of the Son, she flies above the daily grind
Her hand in her work, but in her mind
she hears the whispers of Love surround her,
humming the tune of the song that she sings
echo the cry of the sound in the distance
as sweet as the joy she brings.

Gemini Girl you showed me what Iâve been missing.
Clear as the stars that shine over me
Iâm thinkinâ, âGemini, girl, youâve got something,
I wish I had in me. Something I just couldnât see.â

So with a smile in her heart, head on, she faces evâry day
Just watching her run itâs safe to say
she really should have been twins, itâs such a shame
Thereâs way too much to get done in a day.
Just when youâre thinking itâs time to slow down
sheâs ready to go again.

Bridge

And where does she get the strength? I wanna know
Every minute must count for something
I asked her âWhatâs up with that?â She says âYâknow,
it happens when you believe in something
good. Something good.

Gemini Girl you showed me what Iâve been after,
you came along and you opened my heart
Iâm thinkinâ, âGemini, girl, you know something
I wish I knew from the startâ
itâs just the way that you are.

Gemini Girl you showed me what Iâve been missing.
Clear as the stars that shine over me
Iâm thinkinâ, âGemini, girl, youâve got something,
I wish I had in me.
Something I just couldnât see.



TODAY IS THE GIFT

Yesterday, I was a dreamer all those yesterdays ago
Now those moments are gone forever. Why did he ever let them go?
No matter, how I want to I just canât turn it around, turn it around.

Yesterday is the memory we dreamed we would live
And tomorrow is the question. But today is the gift.
Today is the gift. Today is the gift.

So this day is a window, an opening in time
Where I can reach in and take these moments in my hands and make them mine.
Mine- oh- mine â oh.

Each day when I wake up in the morning and the stars run off to bed.
Items on the to-do list start running through my head.
Thereâs some things that need my attention, words I have to say
And it seems to me, there might be no better day
Than today Today is the gift. Today is the day.

Yesterday is the memory we dreamed we would live
And tomorrow is the question, but today is the gift. Today is the gift.
Today is the gift. Today is the gift.

We dream in many colors. Donât let it fade to black and white.
Leave the light on every second in the middle of the night,
in the middle of the night. Today is the gift.


DREAM TRAVELINâ

Baby, whereâre we going, when the pretty stars come out?
I get happy knowing you have got it figured out.
In my dreams youâre always there to take me on the wing,
Leave this world far behind, isnât it the coolest thing?

Truly I am hoping the Sandman isnât far away.
Once he passes by here baby weâll be on our way.
You can take the lead and Iâll be riding close behind
Looking for a cosmic sign, if the path we cannot find
we can always change our minds.

Close our eyes and weâll go flying,
change our point of view awhile,
Close to Lepus and Orion
turn to me and smile.

Endless journey, never tiring
weightless freedom in our flight
and the timepiece doesnât matter
when we reach this height.


So when itâs time to wake me, please if you could be so kind
to very gently shake me, Iâm leaving all my dreams behind.
Every night itâs someplace I have never been before
playing over in my dreams. Always cominâ back for more,
never wanna wake it seems.
never ever wanna wake it seems.



RED MEANS STOP, GREEN MEANS GO

Itâs hard, too hard to read your mind.
It changes all the all the time
I need some kind, some sort of sign
you are, you are not mine.
Give me a signal, so to say
You want me close or far, far away. Hey,

Red means stop, green means go- oh
Just a simple way to show
My love for you could grow and grow
Red means stop, but green means go, go, go!

Itâs hard, too hard, to play, this game
It never, ever stays the same
Your mind, is bound, around to change.
your feelings rearrange
Itâs time to make them, make them known
should I be with you or leave you alone?

Red means stop but green means go-oh.
Just a simple way to show,
My love for you could grow and grow
Red means stop, but green means go, go!
Give me a signal, so to say
You want me close or far, far away.

Youâve got to give me, oh give me, just give me a sign.
You wanna leave me. Wonât you love me? Will you ever be mine?

Red means stop but green means go-oh.
Just a simple way to show,
My love for you could grow and grow
Red means stop, but green means go, go! (repeat to fade)


A STRANGER ONCE MORE

Who is this shadow lurking around my door
claiming to have some meaning in my life?
Surely Iâd know you. Did you really love me?
I would remember true happiness.

Should I know you, baby, familiar from the start
Truly your face is, maybe, but nothing stirs my heart
I would remember it well, that kind of love
So I search my mind for one bright moment, search my soul for a loving feeling
to find one memory, but there are none....I
think itâs best you leave me as before, a stranger once more.

I would remember caring conversation.
I would remember sharing hopes and fears
You must be mistaken, as I had been before
thinking youâll find some tender loving at this door

Should I know you, baby, from some mythical romance?
You know that I would if I could, given half the chance
I would remember it well, that kind of love...
the kind that every girl dreams of.

But that kind of love lives only in my dreams
For that kind of love I would give anything.

Should I know you, baby, familiar from the start?
Truly your face is, maybe, but nothing stirs my heart
I would remember it well, that kind of love
I search my mind for one bright moment, search my soul for a loving feeling
To find one memory but there are none....I
think itâs best you leave me as before, a stranger once more.


SHEâS GOT HER GUN


Watch out Peter! Youâre in imminent danger
And it isnât a stranger, itâs the lady who loves you.
You better run so fast, be on your way on the double,
âcause you know thereâll be trouble when sheâs got her gun.

Sheâs got her three inch, single-barrel, index pistol
Thatâll track you like that, just like a missile.
If you know whatâs good for you, you better run!
She put her lips to the barrel, and loaded it with kisses.
When she takes aim, she never, ever misses.
Itâs time to worry baby, when sheâs got her gun.

You got your heart set on winning? Donât be such a fool!
You think youâll survive this age old duel?
Are you loving her - or is she loving you more?
Darling boy, let this be my suggestion,
there will be no more question, when she settles the score.

Well she pulls the barrel up to blow the smoke away, replace it in the holster til the very next day
not even 007 can ever say heâs won.
And she never tires out when sheâs on a mission. Even Cupid never had sweeter ammunition.
Consider yourself all done, when sheâs got her gun.

THE CIRCLE GAME

Yesterday a child came out to wonder,
caught a dragon fly inside a jar.
Fearful that the sky was full of thunder
and tearful at the falling of a star.

And the seasons they go âround and âround
and the painted ponies go up and down.
Weâre captured on a carousel of time
We canât return we can only look behind from where we came
and go âround and âround and âround in the circle game.

Now the child moved ten times around the seasons.
Skated over ten clear, frozen streams
Words like, âwhen youâre olderâ must appease him
and promises of someday make his dreams.

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to carwheels through the town.
And they tell him, âTake your time, it wonât be long now,
âtil you drag your feet and slow those circles down.â

So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty.
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
thereâll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
before the last revolving year is through.


I JUST CANâT IMAGINE

I just canât imagine autumn without any leaves.
And I just canât imagine the seashores without any seas
Then all the lovers would have to spend their sunsets differently.
But I just canât imagine a day without you with me.

Well I just canât imagine if the sun had lost all itâs light.
And I just canât imagine if the stars were all swept from the night.
Then all the dreamers could never send their wishes to the sky.
And I just canât imagine a day without holding you so tight.

Well I just canât imagine all the people living in peace.
It may take us a lifetime to bring harmony within reach.
I guess I can live with the crazy way this world can be.
But I just canât imagine a day without you with me.
No, I just canât imagine life without you with me.




Thanks for listening." Susan Jansen
