I'LL KISS YOU GOODNIGHT(Pete Ham)
Couples are drifting out of view
Seems that the odd one out was you
Underneath the sky, you cry
Thinking of the times you could have had with him
Baby don't cry, I'll kiss you goodnight
Baby don't cry, I'll kiss you goodnight
Counting the stars, you seem so sad
Maybe tomorrow, you'll be glad
All you have to do is hope
And you'll get the world all wrapped in cellophane
Baby don't cry, I'll kiss you goodnight
Baby don't cry
Good luck will pass you someday
And then you'll know what life is all about
People walk past you down the lane
But you just stare at them in vain
Hoping that you'll see the one
Who will comfort you and make your world complete
But until then, I'll kiss you goodnight
But until then, I'll kiss you goodnight
I'll kiss you goodnight.

HURRY ON FATHER(Pete Ham)
[from "Golders Green" CD]
Hurry on father, come on home
Getting so lonely on my own
Bring home the pie you know will please me
Old Jacob Frost will never freeze me
When you're near, near to me
Hurry on father, come on home
See how the farmer's horses roam
Bring home the food you know will feed me
And I will help you if you will lead me
On your own, come on home
Hurry on father, come on home
Getting so lonely on my own
Bring home the food you know will feed me
And I will help you if you will lead me
On your own, come on home.

IF IT'S LOVE(Pete Ham)[acoustic guitar demo version from "Without You-The Tragic Story of Badfinger" 1st edition book CD]
Well, I can't forget this evening
And your face when you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the party goes
You always smile, but in your eyes, the sorrow shows, mm it shows
Well, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
I had you there and then I let you go
And now, it's only fair that I should let you know (I let you know)
If it's love that you need [lyrics unfinished]
If it's love [lyrics unfinished]
[song never completed in this form]
IF IT'S LOVE(Pete Ham)
[electric piano demo version from "Golders Green" CD]
Well, I can't forget this evening
And your face when you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the party goes
You always smile, but in your eyes, the sorrow shows, yes it shows
Well, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
I had you there and then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know what you must know
If it's love that you need [lyrics unfinished]
If it's love that you need [lyrics unfinished]
Well, I can't forget this evening
And your face when you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the party goes
You always smile, but in your eyes, the sorrow shows, yes it shows.

A LONELY DAY(Pete Ham)[from "Golders Green" CD]
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do-oo do do
A lonely day, a lonely night
The time just drags on by, I know it can't be right
It's been so long since I was light
I would give anything to be with you tonight
Do do do do do do do do do do-oo do do
I just received, I never gave
I would not gamble if I knew what I would save
You gave me all, I gave you half
But I'd give anything to see you when you laugh
Do do do do do do do do do do-oo do do
I would give anything to see you when you laugh.

MAKES ME FEEL GOOD(Pete Ham)[fast acoustic version (1967) from "Golders Green" CD]
I know the kind of feeling that you get when you get high
And I know the kind of feeling that will make somebody cry
And although I've had some good times in my funny sort of way
I've had nothing to compare with the way I feel today
CHORUS:
Makes me feel good to know that you are here
I feel real good just knowin' that you're near
Say you'll always be here and we'll never be apart
And I know that I will make you feel good, too
The first time that I saw you, I was feeling very low
And before I had a chance to speak, the love began to grow
It's been growin' ever since then, I am burning with desire
And I guess that you're the only one who can't put out the fire
CHORUS [2 times]
Makes me feel good
Makes me feel good
Makes me feel good...

MAKES ME FEEL GOOD(Pete Ham)
[electric version (1968) from "Golders Green" CD]
Makes me feel good to know that you are here
I feel real good just knowin' that you're near
Say you'll always be here and we'll never be apart
And I know that I can make you feel good, too
Baby, when you're far away
Cloud descends upon my day
Robbing all the color from my eyes
My loneliness then makes me realize
That lady light has played my way
Made my life a special day by giving me a very special prize
And baby, can't you see who the prize will be?
It's you, it's you, it's you
Makes me feel good just knowin' that you're near
I feel real good just knowin' that you're near
Say you'll always be here and we'll never be apart
And I know that I can make you feel good, too
Makes me feel good to know that you are here
I feel real good just knowin' that you're near
Say you'll always be here and we'll never be apart
And I know that I can make you feel good, too
Makes me feel good, makes me feel good, makes me feel good,makes me feel good...

WHEN THE FEELING(Pete Ham)[drums demo from "Golders Green" CD]
Oooo, when a feeling lets you down
And I, do, do, do, do, do, do, do [vocal unclear because of being buried by drums]
Do, do, do, do, do what the people will say
Well, well, Oooo
When a feeling lets you down.
I'VE WAITED SO LONG TO BE FREE(Pete Ham)[from "Golders Green" CD]
Passin' the buck, but I don't give a fuck
If they ever accept or believe me
It's always the same if there's someone to blame
You can be sure that they'll see me
They'll never be me, never will free me
Oh, I've waited so long to be free
Passin' the road to a rock on the floor
And waitin' for some sign of movement
It's always the same, a crime and a shame
That I never see the improvement
Or even a movement towards that improvement
Oh, I've waited so long to be me
Oh.

KEYHOLE STREET(Pete Ham)
On Keyhole Street
There's a small house all painted white
That I walk past going home from my work at night
I shouldn't care knowing that she is there
Looking through my window
I see her face and my heart starts to race, somehow
Don't think she's noticed me (don't think she's noticed me)
I'm just another boy
Oh, baby, can't you see (oh, baby, can't you see)
I want to bring, want to bring you joy
Want to bring you joy
Want to bring you joy
Want to bring you joy
On Keyhole Street
I walk on by every single day
Hopin' she will see, oh oh oh
What she means to me, oh oh oh
And I'll never be just another boy
On Keyhole Street
There's the lamp post that I lean against
When I wait every single day just to see your face
Shall I knock upon the door?
If I do, she might say "no"
And I'll have to go home from Keyhole Street
Home from Keyhole Street
Home from Keyhole Street
Home from Keyhole Street.

RICHARD(Pete Ham)[from "Golders Green" CD]
Oh, Richard, so big and so tall
Richard, so soft and so small
You're a part of me with a mind of your own
You know what you want without being shown
Oh, Richard, so fine and so strong
Richard, where do you belong?
Controlling my life with your whims and your ways
You're making me feel whatever you say
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
I like it when you make a friend
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
I like it to the very end
Oh no, oh no, oh no
I hate it when you let me down
So go, so go, so go
And tell your friend I'll come around
Oh, Richard, so big and so tall
Richard, so soft and so small
Part of me with a mind of your own
You know what you want without being shown
Oh, Richard, you push and you pull
Richard, you peep through the wool
Controlling my day with the dreams of the night
You're the one king that's too strong to fight
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
I like it when you make a friend
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
I like it to the very end
Oh no, oh no, oh no
I hate it when you let me down
So go, so go, so go
And tell your friend I'll come around
[harmonica solo]

HELPING HAND(Pete Ham)
[from "Golders Green" CD]
All I need is my lover
Someone who'll make me feel okay
Any time of the day
But we need to discover
Some way to soothe our blues away
On the darkest of days
And when I need a helping hand
Oh, my love, I wish you'd understand
Wish you'd feel inside my mind
And join in with the things that you find
All I need is your interest
Just an opinion to compare
There's so much more we can share
There is more to a lover's nest
Than just feeling happy, we are there
There's so much more we can share
And when you need a helping hand
If we talk, maybe I'll understand
Let me feel inside your mind
Let me join in with all I can find
We could make our love stronger, oh-oh
We could be even stronger, that's no lie
We could take our love higher, oh-oh
We could be even higher
If we try, and we try, and we try, and we try, and
we try
[Country-style guitar solo]
Please, don't think you'd interfere
I'd respect you for letting me hear
Come together with our minds
There is more, so much more we can find
We could make our love stronger, oh-oh
We could be even stronger, that's no lie
We could take our love higher, oh-oh
We could be even higher
If we try, and we try, and we try, and we try, and
we try, and we try ,and we try, and we try, if we
try.

WHERE WILL YOU BE(Pete Ham)
[from "Golders Green" CD]
When the nights are so cold
The leaves are falling over me
When a life feels so old
Where will you be?
When the days are so long
I hear the devil calling me
When it seems to be wrong
Where will you be?
Yeah
[piano solo]
When the days are so long
I hear the devil calling me
When it seems to be wrong
Where will you be?
Yeah.

I'M SO LONELY(Pete Ham)[from "Golders Green" CD]
I don't know what I'm gonna do
I'm so lonely, so very lonely
What am I gonna do?
Don't know what I got to say
I'm so lonely, so very lonely
What am I gonna say?
You may wonder how a man
In my position
Could ever be alone
You may wonder how a man
In my condition
Could ever be on his own
Ambition, obsession, my final confession
[guitar solo]
Don't know what I'm gonna do
I'm so lonely, so very lonely
What am I gonna be?
I don't know what I got to see
I'm so lonely, so very lonely
What am I gonna see?
You may wonder how a man
In my position
Could ever be alone
You may wonder how a man
In my condition
Could ever be on his own
Ambition, obsession, my final confession.

CATHERINE CARES(Pete Ham)
[from "7 Park Avenue" CD]
The things I said to her are on my mind
Things I said so selfishly, didn't mean a thing to
me
But now I know that she was being kind
Didn't want me to be hurt,
No one there to change my shirt
CHORUS:
Catherine cares
Now I know she does, oh yes she does, oh yeah
Catherine cares
Yeah, I know that I was wrong
Catherine cares
Yeah, the only thing she wants is to have her
baby home
No matter what I got, I just complained
She'd give her last to see me smile
Tried to keep me dressed in style
But I had this ambition in my brain
So I walked out and left her there
Without a thought, without a care
CHORUS
Each time that I come home she says the same
"C'mon home, you're getting thin
See the state your clothes are in"
She's my mom and Catherine's her name
Gives a pound to see me straight
Sits back in her chair to wait
CHORUS
(She wants her baby home)
Catherine cares
Now I know she does, yeah I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know she does, oh yeah
Catherine cares
Catherine cares
I know that I was selfish to you, selfish to you,
my mom
Catherine cares
Please forgive me
Catherine cares...

EVENING SKY(Pete Ham)[from "Golders Green " CD (Japanese edition)]
Crimson was the dawn
Was the morning
Was the evening sky so bright
Night time
Turns to day time
With no warning
With no warning of a light
And I can see it all
And all the burrs that fall upon my hair
Will all be mine
Be mine
I need some place to go
Mine
And time
Is always all alone

IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER(Pete Ham)[from "7 Park Avenue" CD, and acoustic guitar demo from "Without You, The Tragic Story of Badfinger (1stedition)" CD]
It doesn't really matter what you say
I'll always love you, anyway
The same as I love you today
There's nothing I can do
It doesn't really matter what you do
I'll always feel the same for you
For after all that we've been through
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing people say can change my mind
Although some things are so unkind
There's nothing they can do to stop me wanting you
And nothing that they say will make me feel
The love I have may not be real
I know my love is growing stronger all the time
It doesn't really matter how they try
They'll never break up you and I
And though, sometimes, they'll make you cry
There's nothing they can do
It doesn't really matter how they sneer
For you will always have me near
From day to day and year to year
There's nothing they can do
There's nothing people say can change my mind
Although some things are so unkind
There's nothing they can do to stop me wanting you
And nothing that they say will make me feel
The love I have may not be real
I know my love is growing stronger all the time.

LIVE LOVE ALL OF YOUR DAYS(Pete Ham)
[from "7 Park Avenue" CD (remastered 1999 edition)]
The padre of the chapel makes you sing a song
Knows he can't take everyone to where they should belong
Do what you wanna do and go where you wanna go
Live until the day that you die
The captain of the steamer tries to sail "The Horn"
Lives a life of worry, where he's going, when he's gone
Say what you wanna say and be what you wanna be
Live until the day that you die
You gotta live, love, all of your days
So many ways, yeah
And if you give love every day
It's gonna stay alright
The chieftain in the jungle wouldn't if he could
People don't believe him that he's happy chopping wood
Do what you wanna do and be what you wanna be
Live until the day that you die
You gotta live, love, all of your days
So many ways, yeah
And if you give love every day
It's gonna stay alright
Gotta live, love, all of your days
So many ways, it's true
And if you give love every day
It's gonna stay alright
Alright
Alright.

Without knowing
You've been told
Would you deny it?

DEAR FATHER(Pete Ham)[from "7 Park Avenue" CD]
Don't let tomorrow be just any day
Look inside, dear Father
The world just carries on
Tell me, must I wait so long?
Forget me, if you'd rather
But don't forget this day and the things you want to say
Don't let tomorrow be just any day
Look inside, dear Father
Are there good things there to see or do you see only me?
If you look much harder
I'm sure that you will find, there's a picture of your mind
Don't let tomorrow be just any day
Think of me, dear Father
I need, somebody needs me, and that's how it's got to be
Forget me, if you'd rather
But don't forget this day and the things you want to say
Don't let tomorrow be just any day
Don't let tomorrow be just any day.

MATTED SPAM(Pete Ham)[demo version from "7 Park Avenue" CD]
I feel a change coming on
A frame of mind that's kept me down for too long
Tried to imprison my soul
Locked me outside of my own rock 'n' roll
Can you feel it?
Oh yeah
Can you feel the change?
It's coming
Can you feel it?
Oh yeah
Can you feel the change?
It's coming my way, yeah
I see a light from a night
A distant star, but it's shining so bright
Guiding me out of myself
This new found love has got me under its spell
Can you see it?
Oh yeah
Can you see the light?
It's coming
Can you see it?
Oh yeah
Can you see the light?
It's coming my way
For years and years, waited so long
I almost lost control
The days and nights all seemed to be wrong
Without you, little Miss Rock 'n' Roll, yeah
You know I tell you no lie
My little lady lifts me up to the sky
She put the stomp on my blues
She blew the dust off my old blue suede shoes
Can you feel it?
Oh yeah
Can you feel the change?
It's coming, yeah
Can you feel it?
Oh yeah
Can you feel the change?
It's coming my way, yeah
I remember finding out about you, yeah yeah
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out of my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
And I give my love to you, yes I do
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I remember, I remember, I remember, I remember
Oo oo, oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh.

Doesn't matter what I do, girl
Ooo girl, I'm with you
No matter what you do
I will always be around
Won't you tell me what you found, girl
Ooo girl, I need you
Knock down the old, grey wall
Be a part of it all
Nothing to see, nothing to say, nothing to do
If you would give me all
As I would give it to you
Nothing would be, nothing would be, nothing would be
No matter where you go
There will always be a place
Can't you see it in my face, girl
Ooo girl, I want you
Knock down the old, grey wall
Be a part of it all
Nothing to see, nothing to say, nothing to do
If you could give me all
As I would give it to you
Nothing would be, nothing would be, nothing

Ham)
[from "7 Park Avenue" CD]
Leaving on a train, on a midnight train
'Cos the airplane's going too fast
Getting out of town on account of you
'Cos of all the things that you make me do

HAND IN HAND(Pete Ham)
[from "7 Park Avenue" CD]
Don't want perfection
As long as it's you
Don't want a reflection
Just as long as you do
Can't you see the rainbow
Waiting 'round the corner?
Don't you understand?
We gotta move together
Gotta do it hand in hand
Know it ain't easy
And no one's to blame
And if you can't please me
Well, that ain't no shame
But can't you see the rainbow
Waiting 'round the corner?
Don't you understand?
We gotta move together
Gotta do it hand in...
Gotta move together
Gotta do it hand in...
Gotta move together
Gotta do it hand in hand
In my hand
Yes, my hand
Take my hand
So, just think it over
And give it a try
If you don't make it
I guess you know why
If you can't see the rainbow
Waiting 'round the corner
You don't understand
We gotta move together
Gotta do it hand in...
Gotta move together
Gotta do it hand in...
Gotta move together
Gotta do it hand in hand
In my hand
Yes, my hand
Take my hand.

SILLE VEB(Pete Ham)
[acoustic demo from "7 Park Avenue" CD]
Won't be long, I'll be gone
Out on the road
And each song that I sing
Carries the load
Of the one I left behind
Won't be glad, can't be sad
Playing's my choice
But each day that we've had
Shows in my voice
Of the love that's in my mind
Little Sille Veb, when will you find?
Any rain, any pain
Yes, love, it's real
But I can't reassure
Not 'til I feel
That I'm all you want of me
For each day that you wait
Patiently there
I just hope and I pray
Someday we'll share
All the love that there could be
Little Sille Veb, when will you mind?
I want you by my side
I need to be with you
The only time I've lied
Is when you would want me to
[solo:
Little Sille Veb, when will you mind?
Little Sille Veb, when will you find?]

I KNOW THAT YOU SHOULD(PeteHam)[from "7 Park Avenue" CD]
Forget all the ones we left behind
Pretty soon, you know the stupid game
Is gonna blow my mind
It's gonna blow my mind
Regret all the times I've been unkind
Pretty soon I'm gonna take my blame
And find some peace of mind
I need some peace of mind
Don't you know that I feel?
Don't you know that I care?
I know that you should
I know that you should
Can't you see that it's real?
Can't you see that it's there?
And I would if I could
I would if I could
So hang on awhile and let it grow
Pretty soon, you know the fruits I picked
Are gonna make a show
They're gonna make a show
And when they are ripe, I'll let you know
Maybe, we can plant the seed of love
Baby, let it grow
We need to let it grow
Don't you know that I feel?
Don't you know that I care?
I know that you should
I know that you should
Can't you see that it's real?
Can't you see that it's there?
And I would if I could
Well, I would if I could
Can't you see that it's real?
Can't you see that it's there?
Well, I know that you should
Yeah, I know that you should, yeah
Don't you know that it's real?
Don't you know that it's there?
And I would if I could, yeah
I would if I could, yeah.

ISLAND(Pete Ham)
[from "7 Park Avenue" CD]
Quiet seas so blue, the color of your eyes
Nothing else to do, but look into your eyes
Golden sands to lay upon when you're
feeling tired
And I'll always be with you on our magicisland
If we hope and pray, I know our day willcome
We'll no longer be apart, we'll be as one
We will find a home someday, just for you
and I
Then we'll be so happy, we'll forget the way
to cry
Island, island
Somewhere in my mind
Island, island
Trying hard to find
We will find a home someday, just for youand I
Then we'll be so happy, we'll forget the way
to cry.

UST LOOK INSIDE THE COVER(Pete Ham)[from "7 Park Avenue" CD]
You say my hair is getting long
Surely, that ain't bad
You say the way I dress is wrong
That don't mean I'm mad
Just look inside the cover
I'm sure you'll discover love
You say my life's a waste of time, but man, I disagree
I don't know anything so fine, as a life God gave to me
So I'll just go on living and all the fun life's giving me
One day, you'll see it too
[guitar solo]
You say that I should be secure
That's all very well
But there's no point in making sure
Tomorrow may be hell
So, I'll just go on living and all the fun life's giving me
One day, you'll see it too
It's not the colour of the hair or the colour of the skin
That tells you that a man is good or if he's full of sin.

JUST HOW LUCKY WE ARE(Pete Ham)[electric guitar demo from "7 Park Avenue" CD]
When I'm feeling down, can't figure why
It's my guilty soul, it's bleeding me dry
When I think of the suffering people
Who would give anything to be free
Would I still believe God was a kind man
If that suffering person was me?
In my comfy chair with you by my side
With our lives to share, nothing to hide
Though I know that we may have some problems
But I know that the problems are few
For the kind of attention you give me
Won't allow me to be overblue
And I know just how lucky we are
Just how lucky we are.

NO MORE(Pete Ham)[electric guitar demo from "7 Park Avenue"CD]
Drunken days, drunken nights
Someone, please, turn out the light
I can't face the mirror anymore
Move along, magic gone
Someone else can sing my song
I can't lift my head up off the floor
N-n-n-n-n-no no no, no more
N-n-n-n-n-no no no, no more
N-n-n-n-n-no no no, no more
No no, no more
Empty days, sleepless nights
Have I lost the will to fight?
Someone help me back onto the road
Sinking fast, time is past
I can't make the story last
Every little note is coming hard
N-n-n-n-n-no no no, no more
N-n-n-n-n-no no no, no more
N-n-n-n-n-no no no, no more
No no, no more
There's no use in trying when I only end up
crying
It's a fool's game
It's no longer funny when you're doing it for
money
It's a shame, shame
No more, no more
No more
No more
N-n-n-n-n-n-no no no, no more
N-n-n-n-n-n-no no no, no more
N-n-n-n-n-n-no no no, no more
No no, no more.

RINGSIDE(Pete Ham)[electrified acoustic guitar demo from "7 Park Avenue"
CD]
Take your seat by the ringside
Watch them bidding for your blood
Who will own you tomorrow?
Will you be misunderstood?
Take me back to the Father
Take me, take me, take me home
For I can't bear to feel the sorrow
Of the evil that you've shown
Keep your ear to the grapevine
Hear them sell you down the line
Watch, they'll cross you tomorrow
While they smile and say it's fine
Take me back to the country
Let me, let me, let me roam
For I can't bear to feel the sorrow
Of the evil that you've shown
Of the evil that you've shown.
lyrics transcribed by Tom Brennan
RINGSIDE(Pete Ham)
[acoustic demo #2 from "Without You-The Tragic Story of
Badfinger" (1st edition) book CD]
Take your seat by the ringside
Watch them bidding for your blood
Who will own you tomorrow?
Will you be misunderstood?
Take me back to the Father
Take me, take me, take me home
For I can't bear to feel the sorrow
Of the evil that you've shown
Keep your ear to the grapevine
Hear them sell you down the line
Watch them cross you tomorrow
While they smile and say it's fine
Take me back to the country
Let me, let me, let me roam
For I can't bear to feel the sorrow
Of the evil that you've shown
Of the evil that you've shown me
Why oh why, did you prove me wrong?
When my faith in you was strong, really strong
Oh but now, the magic's gone
[instrumental]
Take me back to the Father
Take me, take me, take me home
For I can't bear to feel the sorrow, oh
Of the evil that you've shown
Of the evil that you've shown.

RINGSIDE(Pete Ham)
[acoustic demo #1 from "Without You-The Tragic Story of
Badfinger" (2nd edition) book CD]
Take your seats by the ringside
Watch them scrapping for your blood
Who will own you tomorrow?
Will you be misunderstood?
Take me close to the Father
Take me, take me, take me home
I can't bear to feel the sorrow
Of the evil that you've shown
Of the evil that you've shown.

JUST A CHANCE(Pete Ham)[acoustic demo version from "7 Park Avenue" CD (remastered Japanese release only)]
Doesn't matter what you think I do
All I wanna do is see it through
You may say it's not a great romance
But all I want from you is just a chance to try
Any way at all
Don't you think we know it has to hurt
Are minds that small?
I won't tell you if it's short or long
All I know is that it don't feel wrong
You may say it's not a great romance
But all I want from you is just a chance to try
Any way we can
Don't you think we know it has to hurt
Won't you understand?

THE HEART THAT CAN'T BE
UNDERSTOOD(Pete Ham)[from "7 Park Avenue" CD (Japanese
edition)]
The sadness that you cancel with your smile
The heart that can't be understood
And though you say it's only for awhile
I know inside that it's for good
It's clear, I'm just another port of call
Another game to pass the time
And when you leave, I won't exist at all
Not even in your stoney mind
So hold me once again before you go
For me, it's more than passing flames
And even though I know you can't return
the love I feel
I can't deny my love for you
The mating that I looked for all my life
A love that only lives in dreams
Perfection that conceals a hidden knife
The kiss that's not all that it seems
It's clear, I'm just another port of call
Another game to pass the time
And when you leave, I won't exist at all
Not even in your stoney mind
So hold me once again before you go
For me, it's more than passing flames
And even though I know you can't return
the love I feel
I can't deny my love for you
I can't deny my love for you.

COME COME TOMORROW(Pete Ham)[from "7 Park Avenue" CD (Japanese edition)]
Come, come tomorrow
Everything is gonna be alright
Well, you know, it's gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Just wait and see
Come, come tomorrow
There'll be sunshine breaking through the clouds
There is sun that shines down through the clouds
There'll be sunshine breaking through the clouds
Just wait and see
It's gonna happen to me
It's gonna happen to be the day when the blues go away
Come, come tomorrow
Everything is gonna be alright
Yes, you know, it's gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Just wait and see
Come, come tomorrow
There'll be sunshine breaking through the clouds
Yes, the sun will shine down through the clouds
There'll be sunshine breaking through the clouds
Just wait and see
It's gonna happen to me
It's gonna happen to be the day when the blues go away
Got too much for me
With no reflection
Miss you next to me
Got no connection
Try to pick me up
With no reaction
Waiting by the pool
Looking at the action
Come, come tomorrow
Everything is gonna be alright
You know they're making me uptight
Everything is gonna be alright
Just wait and see
Come, come tomorrow
There'll be sunshine breaking through the clouds
There'll be sun that shines down through the clouds
There'll be sun special in the cloud
Just wait and see
It's gonna happen to me
It's gonna happen to be the day when the blues go away
Go away, go away, go away, go away, go away, go away,
go away, go away.

BLESSING IN DISGUISE(Pete Ham)
[from "7 Park Avenue" CD (Japaneseedition)]
There's a lesson to be learned
In letting people learn their lessons
For so surely, if you bend
That burden could turn into a blessing
Just a blessing in disguise
There's a reason to believe
If we have something to believe in
You call this freedom we're receiving
Or can you see behind the eyes
To the blessing in disguise?
There's a reason to forgive
For you know someone who's forgiving
Are you perfect in your living
Or who you hide behind your eyes
In your blessing in disguise?
There's a lesson to be learned
Although it's riddled with confusion
Disregard the self-illusion
And understand what you can find
In your blessing in disguise
Just have to do what you feel you must do
Just have to chance what you feel you must
chance
Don't let romance pass you by
It's the best thing alive
There's a lesson to be learned
Although it's riddled with confusion
Disregard your self-illusion
And understand what you can find
In your blessing in disguise.

No one knows it
No one knows it
No one knows it, no
No one knows how good I feel
When I feel you glow
No one knows it
No one knows it
No one knows it, no
No one knows how good I feel
When I feel you glow
Keep it coming, keep it long
Caress me with your body song
Reach it higher with each sigh
Knowing soon that we will fly
No one knows it
No one knows it
No one knows it, no
No one knows how good I feel
When I feel you glow
No one feels it
No one feels it
No one feels it, no
No one knows how good I feel
When you do your show
Keep it coming, keep it long
Caress me with your body song
Reach it higher with each sigh
Knowing soon that we will fly
No one knows it
No one knows it
[scat singing]
Keep it coming, keep it long
Caress me with your body song
Reach it higher with each sigh
Knowing soon that we will fly
No one knows it
No one knows it
No one knows it, no
No one knows how good I feel
When I see you glow.

DAWN(Pete Ham)
[from "Golders Green" CD]
As the dawn begins to break
I prod myself to see if I'm awake
And the fawn of early day
Has let me know again that I can stay
When I wake up in the morning after
sleeping in the night
I can hear the echoes of the night before
And I only hope that I can hear some morewhen tomorrow comes
As the dawn begins to break
I prod myself to see if I'm awake
And the fawn of early day
Has let me know again that I can stay
When I wake up in the morning aftersleeping in the night
I can hear the echoes of the night before
And I only hope that I can hear some more
when tomorrow comes
When I get up in the morning after layingdown all night
When it's good, then I can run for manymiles
When it's bad, then I can hardly raise a
smile
And man, I like to smile
Whoa-oh
When I get up in the morning
When the dawn begins to break
When the dawn begins to break
When the dawn begins to break...

GOODBYE JOHN FROST(Pete Ham)
[from "Golders Green" CD]
Goodbye, John Frost
You've lost, John Frost
Took it out upon my motor car
Making sure I'd never get too far, too far,oo-oo, yeah-ah
Goodbye, John Frost
You've cost, John Frost
Took it out upon my naked skin
Didn't even say I'd let you in, you in, JohnFrost, oooo, you in
Don't you see it getting so near?
Can I make it perfectly clear?
You're getting me down!
Sorry, but I can't let you stay
Don't you know you hurt when you play
Stop messing around!
Woo-hoo
Goodbye, John Frost
You've lost, John Frost
Took it out upon my motor car
Making sure I'd never get too far, too far,
oo-oo, yeah-ah.
