LIGHT OUT OF DARKNESS
by Ray Charles and Rick Ward
Love glows like a candle in the window
And when it glows it brings
Light out of darkness
Giving you a rainbow
Hope shines in the shadows that may hide you
And in the night it brings
Light out darkness
And the light will guide you
Men without hope or love
Who haven't really learned how to dream
They don't really see
Those men are not me
Cause I have love and I have hope and I have dreams
They're all I need to bring
Light out of darkness
Brighter than a sunbeam

DOG DAY AFTERNOON
by Wayne Carson
Dog days nothing comin’ down
Nothing coming up
Just kinda hangin’ round
And thinking ‘bout you
On this Dog Day Afternoon
Blue haze feeling like a dog
Sippin’ gin and soda
Sleepin’ like a log
And dreamin’ of you
On this Dog Day Afternoon
Dust devils play in the field ‘cross the way
Somehow reminds me of you and I
When we were young and free
No special place to be
‘Cause anywhere we were was paradise
Now it’s low tide
Nothin’ going on
Autumn ‘round the corner
But summer’s hangin’ on
Like me to your memory
On this Dog Day Afternoon
Somewhere down the street
I hear music soft and sweet
An old familiar radio song
We were number 1 when it was number 1
In those days we could dance all night long
Now it’s dog days
Nothin’ goin’ down
Nothin’ comin’ up
Just kinda hangin’ round
And thinkin’ about you
On this Dog Day Afternoon

STILL LIFE
by Andrea Wolper
The house, the room
The piano, the chair
A cup of coffee
A rainy afternoon
I can almost see you there.
The hallway, the stair
The vase, a bouquet
A dry martini (and)
A game of solitaire
That's a picture of my day.
Late in the night when the wind is
Rushing through the trees
I light a single candle
I watch the flame … and speak your name
Night after night when I sit here
Listening to the breeze
I see your face before me.
I speak your name … it's not the same
The clock, the hours
The window, the view
The painting on the wall
Of passion fruits and flowers
Everything's still here but you.

THE MUSIC IS THE MAGIC
by Abbey Lincoln
The music is the magic of a secret world
A secret world, a secret world
The music is the magic of a secret world
It's a world that is always within
The music is the magic and the hiding place
The hiding place, the hiding place
The music is the magic and the hiding place
It's a place where the spirit is home
The music is the magic through a raging storm
A raging storm, raging storm
The music is the magic through the raging storm
The storm that is over again
The music is the magic of a sacred world
A sacred world, a sacred world
The music is the magic of a sacred world
It's a world that is always within

THE NATURE OF LIFE
by Andrea Wolper
The cycle
Of seasons
Rotations of planets
Remind us
All things will change
That’s the nature of life
The tides wax
The tides wane
And dark night surrenders
To daylight
All things will change
That’s the nature life
Be patient
Toward all things
Let hope spring eternal
Inside us
Seasons will change
Tides wax and wane
All things will change…
That’s The Nature of Life

BEEN TO CANAAN
by Carole King
Green fields and rolling hills
Room enough to do what we will
Sweet dreams of yestertime
Are running through my mind
Of a place I left behind
Though I'm content with myself
Sometimes I long to be somewhere else
I try to do what I can
But with our day-to-day demands
We all need a promised land
Been so long, I can't remember when
I've Been to Canaan and I want to go back again
Been so long, I'm living till then
'Cause I've Been to Canaan and I won't rest until I go back again
Oh, I want to be there in the wintertime
With a fireplace burning to warm me
And you to hold me when it's stormy
Been so long, I can't remember when
I've Been to Canaan and I want to go back again
Been so long, I'm living till then
'Cause I've Been to Canaan and I won't rest until I go back again

NEVERMORE
by Andrea Wolper
You tell me up and then it's down
You've got me moving forward
And then I'm turned around
You beckon me and then you close the door
Well, to quote the raven, darling,
Nevermore
Nevermore, mmm mmm mmm
Nevermore, mmm
Your tender touch, the words you speak
They lift me when I'm weary
And then they leave me weak
I'm in a dream no mortal dreamed before
But then when I awaken:
Nevermore
Nevermore, mmm mmm mmm
Nevermore, mmm
In dark of night or break of day
With sad, uncertain aching heart
I'll try to steal away
But there's my soul, a shadow on the floor
When will it let me leave you?
Nevermore
Nevermore, mmm mmm mmm
Nevermore, mmm

I BURN FOR YOU
by Sting
Now that I have found you
In the coolth of your evening smile
The shade of your parasol
And your love flows through me
Though I drink at your pool
I Burn For You, I Burn For You
You and I are lovers
When nighttime folds around our bed
In peace we sleep entwined
And your love flows through me
Though an ocean soothes my head
I Burn For You, I Burn For You
Stars will fall from dark skies
As ancient rocks are turning
Quiet fills the room
And your love flows through me
Though I lie here so still
I Burn For You, I Burn For You

THE WINTER OF OUR CONTENT
by Andrea Wolper
I’ll always remember
The last night of December
My icicle heart
Was solid as 12 below
Heigh ho!
A dancer in the dark
Ever nightingale, never lark
I’d never have expected
Our hearts would be eternally connected
And now in December
It’s lovely to remember
The way it began
With starlight and falling snow
And so
Our dancing days are past
It seems our love was made to last
In spite of imperfection
We still delight in mutual affection
And now in December
It’s lovely to remember
And think of that night
Whenever the cold winds blow
Although
At times we’re tempest tossed
The love we found we’ve never lost
For ‘neath that starry firmament
There hangs a tale most excellent
Of how we fell
The Winter of Our Content
