Me and You is We

When I walk down the street I wanna look at you but our eyes don't meet. I was hopin' you'd just say hi. I don't wanna just walk on by starin' at my feet. Cause me and you, we are different yes, but we are truly blessed with this love. And we are truly gifted yes, with the ability to share it, this love. So when I say hello, I hope you say hi back. And when you say hi I want to get your back. Not in a fight, but if you're truly lovin'. Cause I've got something cookin' in my brain. Cause we're all not the same, we're all so different, but we are all together in this world, oh yes. Oh yes. Yes were all just different people in the same old world tryin' to get together and love one another. And we can all just live a lie, or we can all realize that we are one, one another. And we all have to live our lives. And we all have love each other cause there's no other. And you can smother yourself with lies, but you might not realize the love that is true. And you might turn a blind eye to the love that defines why you are you. It's me and you. It's me and you. Not against the world but together forever. It's me and you, not against the world but together, together, together, forever. And we should hate each other never, oh yeah. Wouldn't that be so nice, oh yeah, oh yeah.

Love is All

You gotta brush your teeth for a beautiful smile. You gotta hold hands with the devil awhile, to see that you're not the only child of god. You gotta hold hands when you cross the street. You gotta say hello to the people you meet, so no one will feel lonely when you're not.
So, take a good look at what you got. It might not seem like a heck of a lot but love is all we really got at all. Yes, take a good look at what you got. It might not seem like a heck of a lot but love is all we really got at all.
I'm feelin' fine knowin' you are mine but I also know that in due time we all must reach our end before too long. So I listen to the elders and what they say and I hope I learn to live today so I can safely say I lived at all.
And I'll take a good look at what I got. It might not seem like a heck of a lot but love is all I've really got all. So take a good look at what you got. It might not seem like a heck of a lot but love is all we really got at all.
Love is all we really got, but we must have forgotten what it means to share the world and live as one. Love is all we really got, so we should all give it a shot and share the love just like we share the sun.

Falling Slowflakes
02:48

First it's rainin', then it's snowin', falling slowflakes and I feel borin'.
And I've been snorin' because I forgot to remember to breathe.
So I inhale and I wish hale would stop forming like a snowflake that forgot that it never meant to hurt anyone.
And the sun wouldn't shine behind the clouds. It couldn't even find one to peak around. And the snow wouldn't stop, it kept falling down. Leaving a fresh coat of frozen ground. It made a sound that couldn't be heard. Snow falling down on the curb.
And the wind, when it blows it let's you know that it's not just love this world is living for, but you can never be sure, so please love me, cause lately it's been so cold with the wind that blows.
First it's rainin', then it's snowin', falling slowflakes and I feel borin'.
And the ocean laps at the shore as it goes back and forth.
So I inhale and I exhale and I drink my coffee and tell you my tales of the boredest of boredom but I'm sure that you've heard 'em before.
There's the one about the girl who meant so much more than anything found at a liquor store. There's one about the boy who felt so down, he couldn't pick himself up off the ground. There's one about the sound that couldn't be heard. Snow falling down on the curb.
And the wind, when it blows it lets you know that it's not just love that this world is living for, but you can never be sure, so please love me, cause lately it's been so cold with the wind that blows.

Sing With You
02:50
|

Everyone's got their own world to live through and their own song they've got to sing to.
If we don't take the time to hear it, we might miscomprehend the lyrics.
Someone sang to me tonight, as they walked by in the moonlight.
"Everything is all alright". That was the refrain they sang, they said:
You've got to sing along with what you feel if it's real to you. Cause all you know and all you do, it has an effect on everyone else too. And I want to sing with you.
And it won't be wrong, we can sing it strong and we can learn to sing it true. And we can sing about whatever that you want or whatever you're goin' through. And we can all contribute a different verse and sing it with each other to. And we can all continue to learn how to love and help one another.
You've got to sing along with what you feel if it's real to you. Cause all you know and all you do, it has an effect on everyone else too. And I want to sing with you.
I want to sing with you. I want to sing with you. I want to sing with you.
I want to sing with... universes and distant planets, how are we gonna ever manage? Will we ever understand it or will we just sing about it?
Sometimes we must sing the wrong notes so that we can find the right words. How we live is how the song goes. Everywhere is made of music.
And you've got to sing along with what you feel if it's real to you. Cause all you know and all you do, it has an effect on everyone else to. And I want to sing with you. I want to sing with you. I want to sing with you. I want to sing with you.

Hummingbird

Hummingbird hums hello, then it stops for a second to show me how it sits for a while flapping wings in the distance, I love it so.
Hummingbird, when you fly by I see you with my eye and I want to catch you but you can never be caught with the naked eye for more than a few seconds. I try, try but I can't catch you. You're just like the wind and the love that I get from the world and from you.
When nature looks at me like the mirror that it sees, I see myself in it and I want to cry. I, I, I wish I was a hummingbird. I would fly just to greet you and to teach you the love that the world can bring when you sing along. You've got to try to fly just like that hummingbird.

Gum of Love

Bouncy bouncy. Onto sandy. Every ounce he carries handy. Got some candy in his pocket. Got a rocket to the moon. Baby new grand, maybe you can help me with your healthy two hands. Help me to stand on my two feet with a new beat for my drum.
I love you more than gum.
Wakey wakey. Eggs and bakey. Back to future. Micheal J. Fox. We can change locks. We can break in. When we're makin' all our love.
Got a new jive. Brown and blue eyes. Playin' uke live under street lights. Got a sweet tooth. Gotta reach you with some music and a drum.
I love you more than gum.
I love you more than the sun that shines up in the sky oh, love. I love you more than love. I chew you more than gum, gum, gum, gum, gum, gum, gum, gum.
I wanna chew you up like a piece of gum. And I want to pop your bubble all over my face. I'll do what it takes and I'll do you a favor. If you lose all your taste and your gum has no flavor, I'll help you to savor the flavor of the gum of love. I'll help you to savor the flavor of the gum of love.

Blue Without You

Christmas time is gone but there's lights still on the lawn.
Red and green and blue. That's how I'm feeling to.
Everyone is gone. No one that I've known.
I'm all alone, feeling blue for you this Christmas.
Oh how I miss this moment with family.
I wish that I could, but I can't be with them now.
The New Year is comin' and blue tears are streaming
down the faces of the lonely hearted and blue.
And my Christmas is blue without you.
Christmas time is over and the dogs name is Rover
and he's barking while I'm walking down the street.
And I've got my best friend with me and I keep her on a short leash.
And her collar jingles just like bells of gold.
And I wonder how she sees it when it snows.
And I wonder if she knows that it's true.
My Christmas is blue without you.

Never Be
02:46

Just when I think that I've got it all figured out, that's when I notice it's not what I think it is. It's something else.
When I throw fits and I don't understand it's just a dream anyway. It can cause lots of undue pain and stress to the ones who come my way.
So I'll try to keep it up. I'll try to keep my head up. I won't let you down.
I won't let you see a frown. I'll go out and try, try not be so upset about everything in my life. I said hi to you and I thought you'd say hi to me, but you just walked on by and I just couldn't see why you had to be so cold.
Oh, I don't know what to do with myself anymore. It seems like I'm always searching for something that i will never really have. So I know all I have left is to laugh, cause there's nothing much else I can do. Nothing else that would be true. Nothing is quite what it seems.
I love you and you love me, but it's a dream. Oh it's a dream.
It's not what it seems to be.
And it will never be what I thought that it would be when I found it not to be what I thought it was. It can bring me down to think that what I thought I found was simply what I never lost. When I lose the mystery and complicate simplicity I never get the gist. I can see that It's just me confusing my reality with what it really is.
So I'll try to keep it up. I'll try to keep my head up. I won't let you down.
I won't just mope around. I'll go out and try, try not to be so upset about everything in my life. I thought it was true, what I had been led to believe.
But the truth goes much further than I can perceive.
It's something that seems so close yet so out of reach.

Kevin Haynes Portland, Oregon
When I'm not freestyling lyrics to songs into the recorder on my phone, I like to write original folk/pop music on ukulele, guitar and piano. Music inspires my creativity and has helped me grow and make connections over the years. It's something I will never stop pursuing and I'm happy to be able to share it with you. Thanks for listening! ... more
