Forever Young


May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

You Don't Understand Me


You don't understand me
But if the feeling was right
You might comprehend me
And why do you feel the need to tease me
Why don't you turn it around
It might be easier to please me

And there's always another point of view
A better way to do the things we do
And how can you know me
And I know you
If nothing is true

Why do you think that you are doing
But who is the fool, the fool or the fool
that you are fooling
And maybe I just don't see the reason
But in the corner of my heart your ignorance is treason

You think you know how I feel
Its not that big of a deal
There's no such thing its not real

You don't understand me
But if the feeling was right
You might comprehend me
And I don't claim to understand you
But I've been looking around
And I haven't found anybody like you

Keep You Happy


The sky is turning and longing for something far away
The moon’s a tear drop, see slowly as it falls away
Miles running down a face,
Everything’s bound to change,
It’s bound to change

Day breaks of tenderness,
So hold me here like this,
So still and quiet as if it might
Keep you happy

A feeling has me and tells me it will never stay
Your heart beats miles now, I feel them as they fly away
Close gets so far away,
Close gets so far

Day breaks of loneliness.
I’d weather all of this
If I could find a place where I’d
Keep you happy

Why do we pretend there is something to hold onto?
See how my world fell in, I was trying to hold you, I was just trying to hold you

Night is a gypsy who tells me he will never stay.
Miles are like heart beats, I know them as they fly away
See how they fly away,
See how they fly

Day breaks of restlessness, I'm filed with all of this
But deep inside what will I find to keep me happy
Oh, keep me happy, oh, keep me happy, oh, keep me happy, oh, keep me happy
