IT AIN'T ME, BABE
Go 'way
from my window. Leave at your own chosen speed.
I'm not the one
you want, Babe, I'm not the one you need.
You say you're looking for someone
never weak but always strong,
To protect you and defend
you whether you are right or wrong,
Someone to open each and every door.
But it ain't me, Babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, Babe,
It ain't me you're looking for, Babe.
Go lightly from
the ledge, Babe, go lightly on the ground,
I'm not the one
you want, Babe, I will only let you down.
You say you're looking for someone
Who will promise never to part,
Someone to close his eyes
for you, someone to close his heart,
Someone who will die for you and more .
But it ain't me, Babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, Babe,
It ain't me you're looking for, Babe.
Go melt back in the night, Babe,
everything inside is made of stone.
There's
nothing in here moving and anyway I'm not alone.
You say you're looking for someone
Who'll pick you up each time you fall,
To gather flowers constantly
and to come each time you call,
A love of your life and nothing more.
But it ain't me, Babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, Babe,
It ain't me you're looking for, Babe.
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,
And may you stay 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 light surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
And may you stay 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,
And may you stay forever young,
May you stay forever young.
THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN'
Come gather 'round people wherever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
And accept
it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you is worth savin',
Then you better start
swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone,
For the times, they are a chang - in'.
Come
writers and critics who prophecize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again
And
don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'.
For the loser now will be later to win,
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
And don't criticize what you don't understand.
Your
sons and your daughters are beyond your command.
Your old road is rapidly agin'.
Please get
out of the new one if you can't lend a hand,
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come senators, congressmen please heed the call.
Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall,
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled.
There's a battle outside and it's ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls,
For the times they are a-changin'.
The line it is drawn, the curse it is cast.
The slow one now will later be fast,
As the present now will later be past.
The order is rapidly fadin'
And the first one now will later be last,
For the times they are a-changin'.
