Say I Do

Baby, I love you – I hope you love me too
And you do: I already know it’s true
Now I’m asking you to
Say I do, I want to tie the knot with you
Maybe it’s time to put a ring on that finger
For you – another token of my truth
That didn’t need the proof;
Say I do, and give your hand to me for good
Happiness comes and goes, but
As long as it’s always me and you
Through good and bad times – you know
I will be right there for you
You and me, darling – we’re making it happen
And soon, they’re going to call that wedding tune
Now that you promised to
Say I do, I want to walk the aisle with you
With everyone a witness
We’re coming to the moment
For you - to say the words I want you to
When they’re asking you,
Say I do, I want to spend my life with you
Happiness comes and goes, but
As long as it’s always me and you
Through good and bad times – you know
I will be right there for you
Baby, I love you – and I know you love me too
It’s true – like we both already knew
When I asked you to
Say I do, you knew that I would say so too
Say I do, let’s make it permanently true
Say I do, I want to
grow old with you

Cariboo

Cariboo, I hear you calling
Far across the golden sea –
And the memory of your splendor
Lingers in the heart of me
I will walk again your valleys
Stroll along your crystal streams –
I will climb majestic mountains,
If only in my dreams
Cariboo - I’m calling you
If you only knew
My Cariboo
How I’ve been recalling you
I will see you in the morning
When the sun bathes you in gold –
I will hear your legends calling
As they sing of days of old
I will see you in the evening,
Watch it deepening your blue –
When the velvet night comes creeping
I will feel the pulse of you
Cariboo - I’m calling you
If you only knew
My Cariboo
How I’ve been recalling you
You will never leave my memory,
Though I travel foreign seas –
My Cariboo, I hear you calling
Deep within the soul of me

Onboard

Get on board and float away
We’ll take this boat across the lake
To a shore to see the space
Where artists are created
Live and breathe and bask Chorus
in the gentle breezes we meet
Wait a while & the wind will inspire you
Open up a music box
That makes a sound musicians mock
Magically appearing out of
Places we forgot we’d been
Chorus / {SOLO} / Chorus
Images imagining
Themselves into being
Take the place of a painting
Be the voice behind the screen
{SOLO} / Chorus
Get on board and float away – Ahh ah
To a shore to see the space – Ahh ah
Get on board and float away – Ahh ah
To a shore … to see the space…

Does anybody really know the way
We build ourselves up from the clay?
It can’t have happened in a single day
But ask me how, I’ll say
I’ll get back to you later;
I’ll get back to you, I’ll get back
I’ll get back to you later;
I’ll get back to you, I’ll get …
Back when I was a younger kind of man
A know-it-all without a plan
The answers oh so ready to my hand
I didn’t understand
I’ll get back to you later;
I’ll get back to you, I’ll get back
I’ll get back to you later;
I’ll get back to you, I’ll get … (x2)
Back up the Fraser River to my home
That little town I left to roam
Though time flows on and all of us have grown
Still miss the friends I’ve known
I’ll get back to you later;
I’ll get back to you, I’ll get back
I’ll get back to you later;
I’ll get back to you, I’ll get … (x2)
There must be something magic in the air
In how we found our comfort there
Serenity erasing all our cares
Strips the whole world bare…
I’ll get back to you later;
I’ll get back to you, I’ll get back
(repeat, repeat)

All Seas

I broke it to her – could it ever be gently?
We both wanted to believe it couldn’t happen, not to us
But reality can’t be denied, or swept aside
Caught in all seas
Caught in all seas
There’s no sense to be made of such an awful traumatic loss
How we struggled to see the point of living … on like this
Worst of all to have it come between us; so torn apart
Caught in all seas
Caught in all seas
Caught in all seas
Caught in all seas
Will we recover our wonder – at this world that we live in?
Ever just be happy to be with one another, once again?
When that part of us will always be missing, lost overboard
Caught in all seas
Caught in all seas
Caught in all seas
Caught in all seas

All that passes is not unmade
You are the ripples of memories laid
Long ago right up till today
More than you know –
the way has been paved
Human touch is what we need
To be enriched by each one that you meet
Long ago or earlier today
More than you’ll know –
the way has been paved
We’re a part of more than we see
Reflecting everything from our history
Long ago was once a new today
To hearts unknown
who paved the way
More than you’ll ever know
the way has been paved
(for you…)

Just about the same time
We’ll wear out us two
Just about the same time
No more ballads, no more blues
At least we’ll always know
Just where we started from
Whatever comes
Whatever comes
Yet awhile we’ll linger
Our melodies and song
With our faces floating
Before the happy throng
At least we’ll always know
Just where we started from
Whatever comes
Whatever comes
After all of the things that we've seen & we've
done & the places we've been and the fun
Still the only time that everything was perfect
is when I'm
Playing up on the stage with you
Though the pages will turn & we'll one day be
Through – but till that comes
We’ll just keep on strumming…
Just about the same time
We’ll wear out us two
Just about the same time
No more ballads, no more blues
At least we’ll always know
Just where we started from
Whatever comes
Whatever comes
After all of the things that we've seen & we've
done & the places we've been and the fun
Still the only time that everything was perfect
is when I'm
Playing up on the stage with you
Though the pages we're turning will one day be
Through – but till that comes
We’ll just keep on strumming…
Others come along to - carry on the show
Just about the same time
We’ll take our act --
-- and go.

Oh God, I’m in Heaven above
Heaven – I’m in love
I don’t know if you’re listening to me – when I’m
Whispering softly in your ear
Saying ‘I love you’ while you’re sleeping, peacefully
Imagine that you’re dreaming & you hear something
Even if you don’t what it is
Wonder if my words are getting anywhere near…
Oh God, I’m in Heaven above
Heaven, I’m in love
Oh my God, even above
Heaven – it’s real love
And now I’m looking at you with admiration
Lying in an open field – while I’m
Staying awake so I can tell you what I feel
I’ll just whisper it softly in your ear, though I
Don’t know if you’re listening to me
Saying ‘I love you’ just above
Subconsciously -- oh oh oh oh; Oh my God
In Heaven – must be real love
Ah-ooh - I’m dreaming –
I heard you talking to me
Ah-ooh - I’m dreaming –
I’m picking it up –
I’m dreaming
Dreaming –
dreaming that it’s you...
...and I’m in Heaven above
Heaven, I’m in love
Oh my God, even above
Heaven – it’s real love
With you {with you [with you]}), with you
