The rain falls through Chicago skies
People stare and wonder why And somewhere sails a yellow butterfly A jaguar circles in the night The jungle glistens by moonlight And somewhere sails a yellow butterfly All in all in all in all Like an island waterfall Days and nights revolve around Her flying, silent sound Mother wakes and father turns A candle flame surreally burns And somewhere sails a yellow butterfly All in all in all in all Like an island waterfall Days and nights revolve around Her flying, silent sound Mother wakes and father turns A candle flame surreally burns And somewhere sails a yellow butterfly A yellow butterfly A yellow butterfly A yellow butterfly |

All around the campfire stood seven dusty men
The cook was drinking applejack, the cattle were all penned Someone must have cracked a wise one because the men began to grin Their smiles shot out like sunbeams and made the night give in Because Laugh kills lonesome every single time That's why Charlie Russell painted it And why it looks so fine Laugh kills lonesome every single time Roy and Dale and Pecos Bill, they knew all about this So did Walt and Hasui, who gave it their own twist Sometimes, when things can't get much worse and life's become a fist Someone will crack a wise one and laughter works like this, huh-huh Laugh kills lonesome every single time That's why Charlie Russell painted it And why it looks so fine Laugh kills lonesome every single time Laugh kills lonesome every single time That's why Charlie Russell painted it in the first place And why it looks so fine Laugh kills lonesome every single time Laugh kills lonesome Laugh kills lonesome Laugh kills lonesome every single time |

I want to watch the moon rise over the Rio Grande
Stand in contemplation, hand in gentle hand Breathing the beauty of the pink and purple land High on the inspiration of the moon over the Rio Grande The endless desperation of deadline after deadline The constant agitation of the headlines of the play Brings the inclination to make a little free time And watch nature's message as she goes about her day So I want to watch the moon rise over the Rio Grande Stand in contemplation, hand in gentle hand Breathing the beauty of the pink and purple land High on the inspiration of the moon over the Rio Grande So many conversations simply have no meaning The failed communications fall upon the floor There's something in the spirit of the language of the land The eloquent precision, nothing less and nothing more So I want to watch the moon rise over the Rio Grande Stand in contemplation, hand in gentle hand Breathing the beauty of the pink and purple land High on the inspiration of the moon over the Rio Grande I want to watch the moon rise over the Rio Grande Stand in contemplation, hand in gentle hand Breathing the beauty of the pink and purple land High on the inspiration of the moon over the Rio Grande High on the inspiration of the moon High on the inspiration of the moon High on the inspiration of the moon over the Rio Grande |

In the morning
When the sun is a lonely light just over the hill When the world is awake and yet all things are still My thoughts keep returning to you as they always will In the morning I am watching and waiting to see the sun shine And I'm feeling your presence so sweet on my mind For I know you're the love and the light of my life for all time Juliana How your name brings me awake like the first light of dawn Juliana How it comes to the heart like the wind from the wings of a song Juliana You're my sweet heart's desire You're the face of a dream I have drawn In the evening As the starlight invades the celestial dome While I lie in repose in my natural home I think of the day now behind us and how you have shone In the evening With the sweet orange blossoms caressing the air I stare at the sky and I see your face there With the moon in your eyes and the indigo night in your hair Juliana How your name brings me awake like the first light of dawn Juliana How it comes to the heart like the wind from the wings of a song Juliana You're my sweet heart's desire You're the face of a dream I have drawn You're my sweet heart's desire You're the face of a dream I have drawn Juliana Juliana You're my sweet heart's desire You're the face of a dream I have drawn |

In the still of the night
As I gaze from my window At the moon in its flight My thoughts all stray to you In the still of the night While the world is in slumber Oh, the times without number Darling, when I say to you "Do you love me as I love you? Are you my life to be My dream come true?" Or will this dream of mine Fade out of sight Like the moon growing dim On the rim of the hill In the chill still of the night? |

When they begin the beguine
It brings back the sound of music so tender It brings back a night of tropical splendor It brings back a memory evergreen I'm with you once more under the stars And down by the shore, an orchestra's playing And even the palms seem to be swaying When they begin the beguine To live it again is past all endeavor Except when that tune touches my heart And darling, there we are, swearing to love forever And promising never, never to part What moments divine, what rapture serene Two clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted I know but too well what they mean So don't let them begin the beguine Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember When they begin the beguine Oh no, let them begin the beguine, make them play 'Til the stars that were there before return above you, Until you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you" And we suddenly know what heaven we're in When they begin the beguine Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play Until the stars that were there before return above you Until you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you" And we suddenly know what heaven we're in When they begin the beguine And we suddenly know what heaven we're in When they begin the beguine |

You and me in the arms of the twilight on the trail
Making camp along the way You and me in the arms of the twilight on the trail At rest at the end of the day The stars overhead With their message unsaid The glow from the fire in our eyes The wind through the trees A warm southern breeze The Earth is embraced by the skies You and me in the arms of the twilight on the trail On the trail to paradise The night gathers in We lazily spin On an ocean of peaceful dreams The great Northern light In unbridled delight Dances the dance of kings You and me in the arms of the twilight on the trail On the trail to paradise On the trail to paradise |
