Here are four more songs I wrote in the Sixties

Someone - Somewhere

All my life I've been looking for
Someone, somewhere.
Someone sweet and kind and gentle
Someone, somewhere;
And I have asked why,
That I cannot find Someone somewhere,
Someone somewhere.

All my life I've had to pretend
there's someone, somewhere.
I'll find her at the rainbow's end
Someone, somewhere.
And I have asked why,
That I cannot find Someone somewhere,
Someone somewhere.

It was you... It was you... It was you...

A thousand times I've tried to reach her
Somehow, someway
Like a distant scene begins to blur
She went with the noon day
And I have asked why,
That I cannot find Someone somewhere,
Someone somewhere.

I'll keep on searching until I find her
Somehow - someway
And when I see her I'll stick beside her
Somewhere - someday.
And I have asked why,
That I cannot find Someone somewhere,
Someone somewhere.

It was you... It was you... It was you...

  

You've Got to Get Along

As you walk through this life
Amid the trouble and strife
Everything seems to go so wrong
You know you've got to get along
Get along, in this life.

As you walk around
Don't hang your head down
Look to the sun and follow on
You know you've got to get along
Get along, in this life.

When everything seems to go wrong
Chin up and you'll find things will roll on.
And if you solve your problems tonight
You'll find things will work out right.

All around there's rumors of wars
You've heard it times before
Some want peace but its been so long
You know you've got to get along
Get along, in this life.

When everything seems to go wrong
Chin up and you'll find things will roll on.
And if you solve your problems tonight
You'll find things will work out right.

Everyone seems to complain
In reality we're all the same
You've got to make friends and sing a song
You know you've got to get along
Get along, in this life.

  

What Do I Look For?

What do I look for in a girl?
Someone I can call my own.
What do I look for in a girl?
When I get tired of being alone?

First I look into her eyes
Are they really sincere?
Does she have a pretty smile?
Will she always be near?

Whenever she is near me
I must feel good inside.
And she should always feel free
To speak what's on her mind.
And I look for a heart of gold
A personality with soul.
One who will love me more
Than anyone has before.

What do I look for in a girl?
I want someone to be a friend.
What do I look for in a girl?
Someone who never pretends.

I hear the things she has to say.
Do her words ring true?
Will she love me more each day?
Does she like the things I do?

  

No One Can Tell

You like black and I like white
You like the sunshine and I like the night
And no one can tell
But we get along, get along, get along, get along well.

You like January and I like June
You like rainbows and I like the moon
And no one can tell
But we get along, get along, get along, get along well.
And no one can tell
But we get along, get along, get along, get along well.

Hear what people say
They say we're not the same
They don't understand
Why I want your hand
And they'll never know
Why I love you so
They can go ahead and try
But love won't pass me by
Love won't pass me by.

I like to hunt and you like to sew
If I want to say then you want to go
And no one can tell
But we get along, get along, get along, get along well.

You like to be early and I'm always late
You seem so perfect but I make mistakes
And no one can tell
But we get along, get along, get along, get along well.
And no one can tell
But we get along, get along, get along, get along well.

Hear what people say
They say we're not the same
They don't understand
Why I want your hand
And they'll never know
Why I love you so
They can go ahead and try
But love won't pass me by
Love won't pass me by.

If you say one then I say two
But one thing we both say is I love you
And no one can tell
But we get along, get along, get along, get along well.
And no one can tell
But we get along, get along, get along, get along well.

Hear what people say
They say we're not the same
They don't understand
Why I want your hand
And they'll never know
Why I love you so
They can go ahead and try
But love won't pass me by
Love won't pass me by.
