1.     Turn Down Day

It's much too groovy a summer's day
To waste running 'round in the city
But here on the sand I can dream away
Or look at the girls in their pretty

It's a turn down day, nothin' on my mind
It's a turn down day and I dig it

There's nothing easier I can do
Than lyin' around doing nothing

It's a turn down day, just a turn 'round day
It's a turn down day and I dig it

Soft summer breeze and the surf rolls in
To laughter of small children playin'
Someone's radio has the news tuned in
But nobody cares what he's sayin'

Don't you know
It's a turn down day, nothin' on my mind
It's a turn down day and I dig it

Things that are waitin' to mess my mind
Will just have to wait 'til tomorrow

It's a turn down day, just a turn 'round day
It's a turn down day and I dig it

It's a turn down day, nothin' on my mind
It's a turn down day, just a turn 'round day
It's a turn down day, just a turn 'round day

2.  HOW CAN I LEAVE HER

How Can I Leave Her Lyrics
How can I leave her
How can I leave her, how can I
Now that I've left your door
Can't face her anymore
I swore that I'd be true to her

How can I leave her
How can I leave her, how can I

When my poor heart was down
She raised me from the ground
How can I leave her now for you

How can I leave her
How can I leave her, how can I

How can I leave her
All alone and blue
How can I
After all that we've been through

We might have loved before
Can't hurt her anymore
So I can't leave her now for you

How can I leave her
How can I leave her, how can I

How can I leave her
All alone and blue
How can I
After all that we've been through

How can I leave her
How can I leave her, how can I

3.   PLEASE DON'T EVER LEAVE ME


Please don't ever leave me
Please don't ever go
Won't you stay
Please don't take away
The only happiness I know

If you ever leave me
If you ever go

On your way
Don't forget the day
You lost the only love
You'll ever know

Girl, won't you try to believe me
Girl, don't you know love is blind
Now that you're trying to leave me
Slowly but surely, I'm going
Clear out of my mind, yeah

Please don't ever leave me
Please don't ever go
Can't you stay
Please don't take away
The only happiness I know

If you ever leave me
If you ever go

On your way
Don't forget the day
You lost the only love
You'll ever know

La la la la...

  4.    WHY CAN'T YOU GIVEME WHAT I WANT

She gave me
She told me
She wanted things haunted
Three dozen dead roses
I could not deliver

She said, "If you're my love,
Why can't you give me what I want?"
Why can't you give me what I want, etc.

I left her
For the forest
To look for dead roses
But I found white lillies
But I could not pick them

She wanted more than I could ever give her
I cannot live with her and I cannot live without her

Why can't you give me what I want, etc.

Why can't you give me what I want x 5

  5.   WE HAD A GOOD THING GOING

We had a good thing going
But it couldn't last
We had a good thing going
But now it's just a thing of the past

Love took a long time growing
And then it grew bad
You've got no way of knowing
Just how much I'm missing
All the love we had

Well I know that you don't
Want me any longer, baby
But my love for you keeps
Getting stronger, baby

Even though you're gone
I can't keep from hanging on

Cause we had a good thing going
So don't let it end
Let's save our love by showing
We can get that
Good thing going again

Good thing going
Good thing going
Good thing going

We had a good thing going
So don't let it end
We'll save our love by showing
We can get that
Good thing going again

We can get that
Good thing going again
We can get that
Good thing going again

We can get that
Good thing going again
We can get that
Good thing going again...

     6.     WISH YOU COULD  BE HERE

Looking from my window
At the freshly fallen snow
That sparkles as it tumbles
Upon the street below

And the crackle of the fire
Is laughing in my ear
And the room is warm and sleepy
I wish you could be here

Sundays in this town
There's not a lot for me to do
I've been listening to some records
But my thoughts have turned to you

I try to read the paper
But the words aren't very clear
And I know there's something missing
I wish you could be here
I wish you could be here

I keep listening for your footsteps
Or your key turned in the door
I sure could use your company
But we've been through that before

The winter's going to last
A long time this year
I've got lots of empty time to kill
I wish you could be here
I wish you could be here
I wish you could be here

  7.  RED RUBBER BALL

I should have known you'd bid me farewell
There's a lesson to be learned from this and I learned it very well
Now I know you're not the only starfish in the sea
If I never hear your name again, it's all the same to me

And I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball

You never care for secrets I confide
For you I'm just an ornament, somethin' for your pride
Always runnin', never carin', that's the life you live
Stolen minutes of your time were all ya had to give

And I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball

The story's in the past with nothin' to recall
I've got my life to live and I don't need you at all
The roller-coaster ride we took is nearly at an end
I bought my ticket with my tears, that's all I'm gonna spend

And I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball

Oh, oh, oh
I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball
