I Like To Take My Baby Words and Music by Glenn Diamond Copyright © 1986 Paradise Park Music (ASCAP) I like to take my baby out to the ballpark I like to take my darlin' sailin' out on the sea I like to take my girl out walkin' when it gets dark I like to take trippin' out on LSD Well I know the world keeps a-changin' Wears a new face every day Despite all that re-arrangin' I believe that romance is here to stay I like to take my baby to hear the poets recite I like to take her to hear Bobby Bland singin' the blues Like to go out dancin' yes, and on a Summer's night I like to take her out for a little midnight cruise Chorus Well, I've heard it said that love is dyin' Rumor has it that people just don't care no more But I'll bet them folks ain't even tryin' They sit at home and never once walk out that door I like to take my baby out to the ballpark We love to hear them big crowds roar and cheer I like to take my girl out walkin' when it gets dark Pull my arms around her, hold her near Chorus

The Children Of Paradise Words and Music by Glenn Diamond Copyright © 1986 Paradise Park Music Just yesterday I saw an old French film where the people loved, yeah, but all in vain 'cause at story's end everybody was unhappy It made me think about a girl I know, yeah with big brown eyes and a pretty smile but she won't look my way no matter how I try to tell her And then I think about the friends I know sittin' home alone with no place to go wonderin' if it's gonna be this way forever People, the time is coming now, we've got to remember Wasn't so long ago there was love-light in our eyes We know that Summer's sun turns to cold nights in December But long as your heart is yearnin' for love's wheels turning inside you realize We're all the children of paradise in the long run See Monterey where the cypress trees stand up to the wind and the prophet's voice still lives on today and rings out across the water Or Paradise where the fires raged and the buildings burned while the timber blazed and the people learned to reach out to one another And over Shasta I see William Blake, yes, and Marc Chagall turnin' somersaults in the crystal air while the sun warms all the valleys People, the time is coming now, we've got to remember Wasn't so long ago there was love-light in our eyes We know that Summer's sun turns to cold nights in December But long as your heart is yearnin' for love's returning to guide you realize We're all the children of paradise in the long run We're all the children of paradise in the long run We're all the children of paradise when the morning comes and the shadows fade and the light pours down in a gold parade and I look around, see the one I love dreamin' of the day that we reach out to one another And over Shasta I see William Blake, yes, and Marc Chagall turnin' somersaults in the crystal air while the sun warms all the valleys People, the time is coming now, we've got to remember Wasn't so long ago there was love-light in our eyes We know that Summer's sun turns to cold nights in December But long as your heart is yearnin' for love's returning to guide you realize We're all the children of paradise in the long run We're all the children of paradise in the long run We're all the children of paradise in the long run We're all the children of paradise in the long run

The Well Of Freedom 03:44

The Well Of Freedom Words and Music by Glenn Diamond Copyright © 1986 Paradise Park Music (ASCAP) When I went down to Jericho I had one thing on my mind It seems to be so easily that we lose the ties that bind But as I walked the plain that day I saw people gathered 'round And when they gave a mighty shout, well the walls came tumblin' down Look now, from the countryside they come To drink from the Well of Freedom Look now, from the cityside they come Ooo... ooo... Bring your cup to the Well of Freedom A man did preach in Galilee, and Jerusalem as well His words went out to the broken-hearted, among them he did dwell And though they'd learned to bow their heads, well, he taught the people pride Said, "Let the glory of your soul shine from the mountainside" Chorus When I went down to Washington, well it wasn't at all clear Whether leaders gathered there even had the ears to hear But yes, I've got a message sir, there's impatience in the land Please heed the cry for justice now, 'cause the time is close at hand Chorus

The Señorita Song (Sooner Or Later) Words and Music by Glenn Diamond Copyright © 1986 Paradise Park Music (ASCAP) There was a time when I thought that for every ounce of my devotion A heart out there somewhere would echo with love But as I watch the years just roll by it seems a fanciful notion And now I no longer know what I'm sure of I'm runnin' to her, she's runnin' to him Oh, why can't we see the mess that we're in And on the evenings you came crying, do your remember what you were saying? That it was over and time to move on Well, I know the tears were real but it was a game that you were playing And I'm getting tired of being your pawn I'm runnin' to her, she's runnin' to him Oh, why can't we see the mess that we're in "Love is the answer," say all the wise men "Fear not to give your heart away" Keeping track -- I don't believe it but I'm holding on Sooner or later she's coming my way "Love is the answer," say all the wise men "Fear not to give your heart away" I know what you're thinking but I won't hold on Sooner or later she's coming my way So when that morning sun comes rising I'm running down into the ocean Feel those cleansing waters wash over me And I'll watch those waves go rolling by in perpetual motion While the rivers sing me in sweet harmony The wires get crossed, but love's never lost Someday we'll see the mess that we're in

Tell Me Now Words and Music by Paul Marcus When you see me sail on over the ocean When the plane I'm on is finally flown There's no mistakin' the devotion love takes Or the patience that you need to be alone Love's something to share, something to savor Something that took me off of my guard While in my mind it's been my favorite time Yet I know there'll still be time to take it hard Love it gives no reason Its only cry is to be free If in the end I'm not pleasin' you Tell me now and I'll let it be Can you imagine my confusion Wandering 'round, wondering why It tends to dispell the illusions I held Though I'll find my dreams again by-and-by Love it gives no reason It's only cry is to be free If in the end I'm not pleasin' you Tell me now and I'll let it be When you see me sail on over the ocean When the plane I fly is finally gone This observation is the gesture I make If we reach a place and time for movin' on Love it gives no reason It's only cry is to be free If in the end I'm not pleasin' you Tell me now and I'll let it be Tell me now and I'll let it be

Sarah (The Sound Of Rain) Words and Music by Glenn Diamond Copyright © 1986 Paradise Park Music Ever since I was a young man I have tried to steer my way Between the glory of the stars and the troubles of my day Now a new storm is coming, I can feel it on the rise And the glory I'm needing is the light in your eyes There's an aching in my heart, there's a crying in the land And, Lord knows, I'm trying to understand Sarah, please be mine tonight Can I lay by your side 'til the morning light If I can hear your heart beat it'll be alright Sarah, please be mine tonight When I wake up in the morning and hear the sound of rain It feels like a mystery no one can explain Just from where comes the darkness, and where comes the dawn How do I know when it's time to move on I'm alone on the mountain, I'm alone in the crowd Love -- it's a mystery to humble the proud Chorus Keeping up with your dreams and I'm running out of breath But looking backwards, that's the kiss of death Yes, I hear what you're saying, and I know that it's true The day is coming when our judgement is due We'll be cleansed of the madness, or broken by our fear The choice, it's ours, and the time is near Chorus

I’ll Be Beside You Words and Music by Glenn Diamond and Paul Marcus Copyright © 1986 Paradise Park Music Please my love, won’t you lead the way and I’ll come walking after A million miles I’ve been on my own still there’s one path I don’t know You know I would give anything to hear your joy and your laughter I love you now as I loved you then I’ll be beside you but I don’t know when that will be I lost my way so long ago from directions I was learning I really didn’t even understand what went on in my mind But even as I turned away I felt my steps returning And in the eyes of truth I swore I would be true to you before you were gone Love is something that nobody ever taught us in school I just never learned the rules Every time I try explaining it I get mixed-up again But I found in your embrace that light I never knew Everybody’s talking ’bout the times that you were hungry I know, I’ve been hungry Who really cares, anyway, what other people sayin’ Together we can show ’em how it’s done — just you and me So please, my love, won’t you lead the way and I’ll come walking after I don’t know why I think I’m so damn smart when there’s so much I don’t know You know I would give anything to share your tears and some laughter C'mon baby, don't you let me down I need you, darlin', just to be around me today I love you now as I loved you then I’ll be beside you if I can’t say when But it won’t matter if you’ll let me into your heart

It's Up To Me Words & Music by Tom Shellenberger Copyright © 1986 Paradise Park Music (ASCAP) And my mind keeps telling me All I've really got to do Is to be happy -- it's up to me In the morning when I wake up Feel your warmth beside me Time transcends reality Yesterday is today, hate is love War is peace, down is up Down is up ... I love you so much, I feel like I've been born again And it doesn't really matter at all The answers to all those questions, well ... And my mind keeps telling me All I've really got to do Is to be happy -- it's up to me It's up to me ...

You're Not Alone Words and Music by Paul Marcus Copyright © 1986 Paradise Park Music The situation shattered -- I knew that by the morning you'd be gone Tried to fall asleep that night knowing there were tears that wouldn't come And even if the fault was mine I couldn't bear the blame 'Cause I think that I might fall apart on feeling so ashamed Though maybe I could stand it if I tried I really don't know why I never cried I knew just what you wanted, but it was simpler "not to understand" You knew what you wanted, too, but somehow let yourself fall in my hands And every time you handed off to me I dropped the ball Though you seemed to be so certain that I'd never let you fall Well maybe, but I sure did let you slide And I really don't know why I never cried You said, "Don't forsake me, can't you see I cannot let you go "Like the stream falls from the mountain I just don't have another path to flow" Nothing you could promise me would make me change my mind In thinking I could somehow make the water taste like wine If I let you down, at least I never lied But I really don't know why I never cried The candlelight, it's burning, throws its crazy patterns on your face You say the pain is over, but in your eyes I still can see a trace You looked to me; I looked away -- it's always been the same Although in time I'm changing -- for the better, so I claimed By now I thought those changes would apply So I really don't know why I never cried I've shared your fears, you're not alone And now I wish that you had known Those hidden parts of me I never shared with you And as the water passes down the valley never to return There are no easy answers and not too many chances left to learn Now I have the strangest feeling, as if I were afraid Though there really isn't anything you did I would trade What you left me will outlast the longest storm And I wish that I were crying in your arms I've shared your fears, you're not alone And now I wish that you had known Those hidden parts of me I never shared with you
