Don't Lose Yourself

I felt pieces of peace beneath me as I walked on the beach
& watched the clouds cover up each other, it sure was somethin'
Kiss the ones that you love & love the ones that you kiss but be careful with who you trust, it's a process but don't you lose yourself, no don't you lose yourself, don't you lose yourself
Or you'll miss all of it
Watch closely, speak clearly, drink slowly & think wisely
Keep your window down, let your love pour out
Put your hand in mine & I'll hold your heart
Always put your hand in mine & I'll hold your heart
If you swear on tomorrow, that's something you can't buy,
exchange or borrow
Don't you know that, you should know that
And if you can, you should stand like a soldier,
A little bit taller, that's what she said
And don't you slip, no don't you slip, 'cause you'll miss all of it, yes, you'll miss all of it.
Watch closely, speak clearly, drink slowly & think wisely
Keep your window down, let your love pour out
Put your hand in mine & I'll hold your heart
Always put your hand in mine & I'll hold your heart

All the Pretty Things

You, you picked me, then you picked me flowers – all the pretty ones
I wore the pink one in my hair for hours – I felt beautiful
You caught my eyes when you tried to look away
What are you thinking?
Don’t you doubt it, baby come my way
Oh girl won’t you tell me all about the pretty things
Tell me, tell me baby, won’t you tell me all, all about the pretty things
Sweet girl won’t you show me all of the pretty things
Show me, show me baby, won’t you show me all, show me all the pretty things
I heard half of your story lookin’ through your music records
Damn what a collection
And the color of your lipstick is my new obsession
Lay it on me
Excuse me but I am, now I’m backwards & I am upside down
Sweet girl – please watch, don’t you make a sound
Oh girl won’t you tell me all about the pretty things
Tell me, tell me baby, won’t you tell me all, all about the pretty things
Sweet girl won’t you show me all of the pretty things
Show me, show me baby, won’t you show me all, all the pretty things
You, you, you, you picked me flowers – all the pretty ones
You, you, you, you picked me flowers – well I felt beautiful
You, you, you, you picked me flowers

Think of Others

Maybe I'll seduce the stars & hang them right above where you are
Then I wanna lay on the horizon & dream with you
The way you perceive it will create just what you leave & have to deal with it
So you can't look at this life only through your own interests
No it's not okay to play with feelings
It's not okay to be selfish
You've gotta think about others
You've gotta think about others
There really is nothing to do in this life
But learn to play the notes of your song & sing it with you in harmony
And memorize your favorite verse - everyday
And save the dirt that you walked on, that you walk on
No it's not okay to play with feelings
It's not okay to be selfish
You've gotta think about others
You've gotta think about others
I hope to slide through all of your memories
'Cause I don't know what your life story is but my story is my life & I wish that you knew me today
I want to float above your sunken ship & see your face between the mist & travel through your imagination
'Cause we all see it in the same kind of way & in a way we see it kind of the same.
No it's not okay to play with feelings
It's not okay to be selfish
You've gotta think about others
You've gotta think about others

Santa Barbara

She lives down in Santa Barbara & I couldn't tell if she would wanna take that one night any further, only time could tell
Yes I laid between her sheets, the color of the rose on her arm they were matching & I played in her hair but it's nothin' at all like what you're thinking
I can't wait to meet her mother & her father, yes all of her brothers
She said she's got a great big family, well maybe that's just what I need
I can't wait to hold her hand all across the world, the way she holds me, can you see this girl?
Lord have mercy, her hand on my chest controls my heartbeat.
She lives down in Santa Barbara & I couldn't tell if she would wanna take that one night any further, only time could tell
Yes I'm still playin' in her sheets, the color of the rose on her arm is still matching & I play in her hair & it's everything like what you're thinking
She lives down in Santa Barbara
