Picnic of Love

I saw your deep blue eyes from afar

I saw you at the church bazaar
I asked the priest to introduce me to your mother
And I asked her to introduce us to each other

I asked you to go on a picnic of our own
But you insisted on taking a chaperone
I apologized for being so bold and rude
So I invited your parents for lemonade and food

We're saving ourselves
Saving ourselves for marriage
Saving ourselves, for a baby carriage
Restraining ourselves, till the moment's right
Saving ourselves, for our wedding night

After four years of dating, I decided to take a risk
I held both your hands, and kissed your rose-petaled lips
We stared into each others' eyes, wondering what was next
But we knew not to ruin our love with pre-marital sex

We're saving ourselves
Saving ourselves for marriage
Saving ourselves, for a baby carriage
Restraining ourselves, till the moment's right
Saving ourselves, for our wedding night

Years went by, our courtship was grand
One day I asked your father for your hand
I'd never treat you like an object, only like a lady
I'd never consider having sex, except to have a baby

We're saving ourselves
Saving ourselves for marriage
Saving ourselves, for a baby carriage
Restraining ourselves, till the moment's right
Saving ourselves, for our wedding night

When I look through the waterfall I see your eyes

Brings out feelings in me, girl, I just can't hide
With a smile on my heart and a flower in my hand
Girl, I'd love to be with you on a ???

When it rains I'll be your umbrella
I'm so glad to be your fella
I'm gonna take you to the zoo
I'm so in love with you

I've got waterfall wishes every day
I've got waterfall wishes, makes me happy but afraid
I've got waterfall wishes all day and night
I've got waterfall wishes to make you feel alright

If I were a pirate, you'd be my hook
About our tender lovemaking, girl, I could write a book
You're the sparkle in my wine and the pea in my pod
When we get together, girl, it'll be real hot

When it rains I'll be your umbrella
I'm so glad to be your fella
I'm gonna take you to the zoo
I'm so in love with you

I've got waterfall wishes every day
I've got waterfall wishes, makes me happy but afraid
I've got waterfall wishes all day and night
I've got waterfall wishes to make you feel alright

Help! This is Mother Earth!

Somebody please help me!

The corporations don't even care
While the rain forests go bare
Oil spills & tanker wrecks
Don't show the sea creatures any respect

The park turned into a parking lot
The woods turned into a shopping mall
The swimming hole turned into a sewer dump
Isn't there anyone who cares at all?

Greed, greed, greed, greed, greed
Greed is something that we don't need

You stand by and watch the corporate rape
But not me, I made this tape
After 12 years of Bush & Reagan
We've become an insensitive nation

The park turned into a parking lot
The woods turned into a shopping mall
The swimming hole turned into a sewer dump
Isn't there anyone who cares at all?

Greed, greed, greed, greed, greed
Greed is something that we don't need

Corporate greed, rape and crime
The laws are stepped on all the time
Polluting the water, they don't even think
But their money won't help when there's none left to drink

The park turned into a parking lot
The woods turned into a shopping mall
The swimming hole turned into a sewer dump
Isn't there anyone who cares at all?

Greed, greed, greed, greed, greed
Greed is something that we don't need

As I look out the window, at the lights in the sky

It brings back the memories, and a tear to my eye

I see a star that we picked, as the landmark of our love
Our love would never die, as long as it was lit above

In my heart there's a star named after you
It's still inside me, even though that we're through
You were my angel, my gift from heaven above
But that star's all I have left of our past love

We'd lie under that star, on many a soft clear night
We'd lie on the green, green grass and hold each other tight
Until my actions eclipsed the sunshine of your love
All my apologies, they would never be enough

I couldn't afford to buy you a present so I wrote you this song

I want all the lovers of the world to help me sing along
I'm only a simple man; I never made much money
But I've got a wealth of love to share with you honey

When I think of an angel I think of your face
I want to make sweet love to you by the fireplace
I want to be your architect of your castle of love
I'll never take for granted my gift from above

We'll take a ride through the foliage
Watch the leaves turn orange and brown
Woman, I never thought I'd say this
But I want to settle down

I wish we were on a deserted island
Just me and you
I'd climb right up a tree
And get a coconut for you
