Jeris Johnson - Kiss From A Rose (Seal cover)

 
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la

There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea
And you became the light on the dark side of me
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill

But did you know that when it snows
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can't be seen?

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooh, the more I get of you, stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey

La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la

There is so much a man can tell you
So much he can say
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me, you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny
Won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby?

But did you know that when it snows
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can't be seen?

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooh, the more I get of you, stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey

Yeahhh

I've been kissed by a rose on the grey
I've been kissed by a rose on the grey
I've been kissed by a rose
Baby kissed by a rose on the grey
Baby

Ooohh
Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey

La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la

Jeris Johnson - Here's To The Years

 
If I die before I wake
Sing this song 'til the heavens shake

And if I live, the day was won
Dance with me 'til the morning sun

One for you, and one for me
And one for the ones who are six feet deep

So we say so long...

Here's to the tears that we shed for our fathers
Here's to the years may they carry us on
Here's to the ones that we couldn't hold longer
Here! Here! Here!
'Til we're dead and gone

Here's to the tears that we shed for our fathers
Here's to the years may they carry us on
Here's to the ones that we couldn't hold longer
Here! Here! Here!
'Til we're dead and gone

Friends! Gather 'round! For it is time to dance!

(1, 2, 3, HUAH!)

So we say so long...

Here's to the tears that we shed for our fathers
Here's to the years may they carry us...
Here's to the ones that we couldn't hold longer
Here! Here! Here!
'Til we're dead and gone

Here's to the tears that we shed for our fathers
Here's to the years may they carry us on
Here's to the ones that we couldn't hold longer
Here! Here! Here!
'Til we're dead and gone
