"Every Little Thing (He) Does Is Magic" (MP3)
Now I know a lovely hymn goes on
Now I know my love for him goes on
And I don't take nose
And I don't take notes
Theme song from seasons 2 and 3 of Suddenly Susan.
We will lend a coat of hers
We will lend a coat of fur
And off the high bird, it's aware
I'm off to hibernate somewhere
It's like ten minds are too late
Almost have to go to replay.
It's like ten miles of two-lane
On a South Dakota wheat plain.
Days go by, I'm hittin' old tires.
She says days go by, I'm hypnotized.
It's time for a few small Hershey's kisses.
It's time for a few small repairs, she said.
Little kitten wear a sweater
Dry is good and wind is better
Count the years, you always knew
Strike a match, go whirl into it.
Get the kids and bring a sweater
Dry is good and wind is better
Count the years, you always knew it
Strike a match, go on and do it.
Sunny came home on a fishing trip
Sunny came home with a mission
Sunny came home with permission.
Sunny came home with a mission.
Sunny came home with some chicken.
Sunny came home with a mission.
Try is good,
Win is better
Dry is good,
Wind is better
While walking on a line
While walking on a wire
While walking overnight
While walking on a wire
While walking to the Y
While walking on a wire
The Y, as in the YMCA.
While working at the Y
While walking on a wire
While working overnight
While walking on a wire
"The Facts About Jimmy" (MP3)
Jimmy thinks that he's a helpless man
He thinks about love in the bathroom
Jimmy thinks that he's a helpless man
He thinks about love in a vacuum
We pounded the pavement between God and lines
We pounded the pavement between dotted lines
