WHEREVER YOU GO, I LOVE YOU

When you're too small to reach the sink,
So all you do is sit and think
About how clean you would have been,
Know that I will love you then.

(CHORUS)

When you can button up your shirt,
And brush off your own dust and dirt,
When you can spell and write your name,
I will love you just the same.

(CHORUS)

When you try to cut your hair,
And leave the clippings everywhere
And throw your hands up in the air,
I'll hold you in this rocking chair.

(CHORUS)

When you crawl into your bed,
And on a pillow lay your head,
When you're drifting off to sleep,
All my love is yours to keep.

(CHORUS)

I love you, I love you.

---MARCY MARXER

ANGELS WATCHING OVER ME

CHORUS:
All night, all day, angels watching over me, my Lord.
All night, all day, angels watching over me.

Sun is a-setting in the West;
Angels watching over me, my Lord.
Sleep my child, take your rest;
Angels watching over me.

(CHORUS)

SKIDAMARINK

Skidamarink a dink a dink,
Skidamarink a doo, I love you.
Skidamarink a dink a dink,
Skidamarink a doo, I love you.

I love you in the morning and in the afternoon,
I love you in the evening and underneath the moon;
Oh, Skidamarink a dink a dink,
Skidamarink a doo, I love you.

SHENANDOAH

Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
Away, you rolling river,
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
Away, I'm bound away, 'cross the wide Missouri.

Shenandoah, I love your daughter,
Away, you rolling river;
I'll take her 'cross the rolling water,
Away, we're bound away, 'cross the wide Missouri.

REPEAT FIRST VERSE.

---TRADITIONAL

AMAZING GRACE

Amazing grace, How sweet the sound
That saved a soul like me.
I once was lost, but now I'm found,
Was blind, but now I see.

---TRADITIONAL

FRIENDS ARE SPECIAL

Friends are special when they sing together,
They can sing the whole day,
They can sing the night away,
They can sing together, they can sing.

Friends are special when they laugh together,
They can laugh the whole day, They can laugh the night away, They can laugh together, they can laugh.

Friends are special when they cry together,
They can cry the whole day,
They can cry the night away,
They can cry together, they can cry.

Friends are special when they dream together,
They can dream the whole day, They can dream the night away, They can dream together, they can dream.

RIVER

I was born in the path of the winter wind,
And raised where the mountains are old.
The springtime waters came dancing down;
I remember the tales they told.

CHORUS:
River, take me along, in your sunshine,
     sing me your song.
Ever moving and winding and free,
You rolling old river,
You changing old river,
Let's you and me, river, run down to the sea.

I've heard all the songs that the children sing,
And listened to love's melodies;
I've felt my own music within me rise
Like the wind in the autumn trees.

(CHORUS)

So here's to the rainbow that followed me here,
And here's to the friends that I know, And here's to the song that's within me now;
I sing it wherever I go.

(CHORUS)

THE WATER IS WIDE

The water is wide; I can't cross o'er,
And neither have I wings to fly.
Give me a boat that can carry two,
And both shall row, my love and I.

A ship there is, she sails the sea,
She's loaded deep, as deep can be.
But not as deep as the love I'm in;
I know not how I sink or swim.

I leaned my back against an oak,
Knowing it was a trusty tree.
At first it bent, but never broke;
Thus did my love prove true to me.

Oh, love is handsome, love is fine,
Gay as a jewel when first it's new;
And love grows old, and ever bold,
And shines as bright as morning dew.

HOBO'S LULLABY

Don't you worry 'bout tomorrow,
Let tomorrow come and go;
Tonight you're in a nice warm box car,
Safe from all the wind and snow.

Go to sleep, my weary hobo,
Let the towns drift slowly by.
Can't you hear those steel rails hummin'?
That's a hobo's lullaby.

I know your clothes are torn and ragged;
You've been stayin' out all day.
Lift your head and smile at trouble;
You'll find peace and rest some day.

Go to sleep, my eary hobo,
Let the towns drift slowly by.
Can't you hear those steel rails hummin'?
That's a hobo's lullaby.

Can't you hear those steel rails hummin'?
That's a hobo's lullaby.
That's a hobo's lullaby.

--BEL REEVES

SOMOS EL BARCO

The stream sings it to the river,
The river sings it to the sea,
The sea sings it to the boat
That carries you and me.

CHORUS:
Somos el barco, somos el mar,
Yo navego en ti, Tu navegas en mi.
We are the boat, We are the sea,
I sail in you, You sail in me.

Now the boat we are sailing in
Was built by many hands,
And the sea we are sailing on
Touches every land.

(CHORUS)

So with our hopes, we raise the sails
To face the winds once more,
And with our hearts we chart the waters,
Never sailed before.

(CHORUS)

THREE LITTLE BIRDS CHORUS

Don't worry 'bout a thing, 'Cause ev'ry little thing's gonna be all right. Singing don't worry 'bout a thing, 'Cause ev'ry little thing's gonna be all right.

Rise up this morning, smile with the risin' sun.
Three little birds sit by my doorstep
Singing sweet songs,
     a melody sweet and pure, sing,
This is my message to you.

WATCHING THE RIVER RUN

If you've been thinking you're all that you've got,
Then don't feel alone any more,
'Cause when we're together, then you've got a lot,
For I am the river and you are the shore.

CHORUS:

And it goes on and on, watching the river run
Further and further from things that we've done,
Leaving them one by one.
And we have have just begun watching the river run;
List'ning and learning and yearning; run, river, run.

Winding and turning and dancing along,
We passed by the old willow tree,
Where friends embrace as we sing them our song,
Rejoicing together as we greet the sea.

(Repeat CHORUS)

---KENNY L000INS, JIM MESSINA

TURN AROUND

Where are you going, my little one, little one,
Where are you going, my baby, my own?
Turn around and you're two,
     turn around and you're four,
Turn around, you're a young girl going out of my door.
Turn around, turn around,
Turn around, you're a young girl going out of my door.

Where are you going, my little one, little one?
Dirndls and petticoats, where have you gone?
Turn around and you're tiny,
     turn around and you're grown,
Turn around, you're a young wife
      with babes of your own.
Turn around, turn around,
Turn around, you're a young wife
     with babes of your own.

Where are you going, my little one, little one,
Where are you going, my darling, my own?
Turn around and you're two,
     turn around and you're four,
Turn around, you're a young boy going out of my door.
Turn around, turn around,
Turn around, you're a young boy going out of my door.

ROCK A LITTLE, BABY

Aunt Priscilla has a rocking chair,
Rock a little baby, rock.
She will show you if you ever go there,
Rock a little baby, rock.
Climb in the chair and away you go,
Rock a little baby, rock a lot;
You'll be tickled from head to toe,
Rock a little baby, rock,
Rock a little baby, rock.

Aunt Priscilla has an old Ford car,
Rock a little baby, rock.
It will rock you but it won't go far,
Rock a little baby, rock.
Climb in the car and away you go,
Rock a little baby, rock a lot;
You'll be tickled from head to toe,
Rock a little baby, rock,
Rock a little baby, rock.

Aunt Priscilla has a Chesterfield,
Rock a little baby, rock.
The springs are good but the upholstery's peeled, Rock a little baby, rock.
Climb on the springs and away you go,
Rock a little baby, rock a lot;
You'll be tickled from head to toe,
Rock a little baby, rock,
Rock a little baby, rock.

Aunt Priscilla has a featherbed,
Rock a little baby, rock.
You'll be sleeping if you lay your head,
Rock a little baby, rock.
Climb on the bed and away you go,
Rock a little baby, rock a lot;
You'll be sleeping from head to toe,
Rock a little baby, rock,
Rock a little baby, rock,
Rock a little baby, rock.

DANNY BOY

Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling,
From glen to glen and down the mountain side;
Summer's gone, and all the flow'rs are dying;
'Tis you, 'tis you must go, and I must bide.

But come you back when summer's in the meadow,
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow;
'Tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow; Danny boy, Oh Danny boy, I love you so.

And I shall hear, 'though soft you tread around me,
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be,
If you will only tell me you love me, Then I'll sleep in peace until you waken me.

TIME TO SLEEP

The games are played
     and the songs are sung.
The dinner is over and I'm in the tub.
I'd better hurry and get one more hug,
Before it's time to sleep.

CHORUS
Sleep, gonna close my eyes,
And sleep, 'til it's morning time;
Sleep, before it's time to sleep.

I've bad a drink of water and a story told,
I've got my blanket to keep me from the cold,
The light is out and the curtain's pulled;
It'll soon be time to sleep.

(CHORUS)

My Momma loves me that is plain to see,
My Daddy loves me sitting on his knee;
Their love grew and it encircles me,
And now it's time to sleep.

Repeat CHORUS twice.

LIITLE FISH

CHORUS:
Hey ho, little fish, good night, good night,
Hey ho, little fish, good night.

The anchor's aweigh, and the weather
is fine;
The captain's on deck, waltzing in time.

(CHORUS)

You've been swimming all day, in the ocean
so wide;
Now it's time to rest, and float with the tide.

Repeat CHORUS twice.

---TRADITIONAL Adapted by N. CASSIDY

WAIT TIL THE MORNING

Such a lot of things to do;
I feel the same way, too;
So many things I did today,
So many more to do.

CHORUS:
But It can wait till the morning comes,
When sleeping time is through;
Then the morning light will shine so bright,
And make the world seem new.

There're friends to see and play with,
There're songs and jokes and games,
Tbere're people that I 'specially love,
And feel their love the same.

(CHORUS)

I saw the sky turn pink and red,
And a golden slice of moon;
Though the sun no longer shines right here,
It'll be returning soon.

(CHORUS)
