Song by

R.B. Greaves

Last night as I got home, about a half past ten
There was a woman I thought I knew in the arms of another man
I kept my cool, I ain’t no fool, let me tell ya what happened then
I packed some clothes and I walked out, and I ain’t goin’ back again

So, take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife
Say I won’t be coming home, gotta start a new life
Oh, take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life

You’ve been many things, but most of all a good secretary to me
And it’s time like this I feel you’ve always been close to me
Was I wrong to work nights to try to build a good life?
All work and no play has just cost me a wife

So, take a letter, Maria, no, address it to my wife
Say I won’t be coming home, gotta start a new life
Oh, take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta have a new life

When a man loves a woman, it’s hard to understand
That she would find more pleasure in the arms of another man

I never really noticed how sweet you are to me
It just so happens I’m free tonight
Would you like to have dinner with me?

Oh, take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife
Say I won’t be coming home, gotta start a new life
Oh, oh, take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta have a new life
Oh, take a letter, Maria (oh-oh), address it to my wife
Say I won’t be coming home, gotta start a new life
Oh-oh, take a letter, Maria

Itchycoo Park

Song by Small Faces

Over bridge of sighs
To rest my eyes in shades of green
Under dreaming spires
To Itchycoo Park, that’s where I’ve been

(What did you do there?) I got high
(What did you feel there?) Well, I cried
(But why the tears there?) Tell you why

It’s all too beautiful
It’s all too beautiful
It’s all too beautiful
It’s all too beautiful

I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun

I’ll tell you what I’ll do (what will you do?)
I’d like to go there now with you
You can miss out school (won’t that be cool?)
Why go to learn the words of fools?

(What will we do there?) We’ll get high
(What will we touch there?) We’ll touch the sky
(But why the tears there?) I’ll tell you why

It’s all too beautiful (beautiful)
It’s all too beautiful (beautiful)
It’s all too beautiful (beautiful)
It’s all too beautiful (beautiful)

I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun

It’s all too beautiful
It’s all too beautiful
It’s all too beautiful
Huh

It’s all too beautiful (beautiful)
It’s all too beautiful (beautiful)
It’s all too beautiful (beautiful)
It’s all too beautiful (beautiful)
It’s all too beautiful (beautiful)

Words for today; I might have even called your name

Elusive Butterfly

You might wake up some mornin’
To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind
And if you’re quick enough to rise
You’ll catch the fleeting glimpse of someone’s fading shadow

Out on the new horizon
You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings
And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow

Don’t be concerned, it will not harm you
It’s only me pursuing something I’m not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

You might have heard my footsteps
Echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind
I might have even called your name
As I ran searching after something to believe in
You might have seen me runnin’
Through the long-abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something there
That glided past you followed close by heavy breathin’

Don’t be concerned, it will not harm you
It’s only me pursuing somethin’ I’m not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

Words for today; How can you see looking through those tears?

Lyrics

How can you see looking through those tears?
Don’t you know you’re worth your weight in gold?
I can’t believe that you’re alone in here
Let me warm your hands against the cold

A close encounter with a hard hearted man
Who never gave half of what he got
Has made you wish that you’d never been born
That’s a shame ’cause you got the lot

Hey, yeah you, with the sad face
Come up to my place and live it up
You, beside the dance floor
What do you cry for, let’s live it up

If you smiled the walls would fall down
On all the people in this pickup joint
But if you laughed, you’d level this town
Hey, lonely girl, that’s just the point

Hey, there you, with the sad face
Come up to my place and live it up
You, beside the dance floor
What do you cry for, let’s live it up

Just answer me the question why
You stand alone, by the phone, in the corner and cry
Hey, baby

How can you see looking through those tears?
Don’t you know you’re worth your weight in gold?
I can’t believe that you’re alone in here
Let me warm your hands against the cold

If you smiled the walls would fall down
On all the people in this pickup joint
But if you laughed, you’d level this town
Hey, lonely girl, that’s just the point

Hey, there you, with the sad face
Come up to my place and live it up
You, beside the dance floor
What do you cry for, let’s live it up

Let’s live it up
Live it up
Mmm, live it up
Hey, there you
With the sad face
Come up to my place
Come up to my place, baby

Hey, there you, with the sad face
Come up to my place and live it up
You, beside the dance floor
What do you cry for, let’s live it up

You, with the sad face
Come up to my place and live it up
You beside the dance floor
What do you cry for, let’s live it up

Lyrics

Close your eyes, close the door
You don’t have to worry any more
I’ll be your baby tonight

Shut the light, shut the shade
You don’t have to be afraid
I’ll be your baby tonight

Well, that mockingbird’s gonna sail away
We’re gonna forget it
That big fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon
But we’re gonna let it, you won’t regret it

Kick your shoes off, do not fear
Bring that bottle over here
I’ll be your baby tonight
