G
Get Together
Love is but a song we sing
And fear's the way we die
You can make the
mountains sing
Or make the angels cry
Though the dove is on the
wing
You need not know why
(*) Come on people now
Smile on your
brother
Everybody get together
Love one another right now
Some will
come and some will go
This will surely pass
When the one who left us
here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moment's sunlight
Fading in
the grass
Repeat (*)
If you hear the song we sing,
You will
understand
You hold the key to love and fear
It's in your trembling
hand
One key unlocks them both, you know
It's at your
command
Repeat (*)
Love one another right now
Love one another
right now

Goodbye to Love
I'll say goodbye to love
No one ever cared if I should live or
die
Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by
And all I
know of love is how to live without it
I just can't seem to find
it.
So I've made my mind up I must live my life alone
And though
it's not the easy way
I guess I've always known
I'd say goodbye to
love.
There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine
Surely time will
lose these bitter memories
And I'll find that there is someone to believe
in
And to live for something I could live for.
All the years of
useless search
Have finally reached an end
Loneliness and empty days will
be my only friend
From this day love is forgotten
I'll go on as
best I can.
What lies in the future is a mystery to us all
No one
can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls
There may come a time when I
will see that I've been wrong
But for now this is my song.
And it's
goodbye to love
I'll say goodbye to love.

Goofus
I was born on a farm out in Ioway
A flaming youth I was bound I would
I packed my grip and I grabbed
my saxophone
Can't read notes, but I play
anything by ear
I made up tunes on the sounds
that I used to hear
When I'd start to play folks used to say
"Sounds a little Goofus to me"
Cornfed chords appeal to me
I like rustic harmony
Hold a note and change the key
Hey but that's "Goofus"
Not according to the rules
That you learn in music schools
But the folks just dance like fools
They sure go for "Goofus"
Got a job but I just couldn't keep it long
The leader said that I played all
the music wrong
So I stepped out with an outfit of my own
Got together a new kind of orchestree
And we all played just the same
"Goofus" harmony
And I must admit we made a hit
"Goofus" has been lucky for me
