The Rain The Park and Other Things
(Artie Korneld, Steve Duboff)
Lead Singer: Bob
I saw her sitting in the rain, raindrops falling on her.
She didn't seem to care,
She sat there and smiled at me.
Then I knew. She could make me happy.
Flowers in her hair, flowers everywhere.
(Chorus)
I love the flower girl,
Oh I don't know just why, she simply caught my eye.
I love the flower girl, she seemed so sweet and kind,
She crept into my mind.
I knew I had to say hello.
She smiled up at me.
Then she took my hand and we walked through the park alone.
Then I knew she had make me happy.
Flowers in her hair, flowers everywhere.
(chorus)
Suddenly the sun broke through,
I turned around she was gone.
And all I had left was one little flower in my hand.
But I knew, she had made me happy.
Flowers in her hair, flowers everywhere.
I love the flower girl,
Was she reality or just a dream to me.
I love the flower girl,
Her love showed me the way to find a sunny day.

We Can Fly
(Artie Kornfeld, Steve Duboff, Bill Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Bob
See how the fluffy clouds move by us,
(See how the clouds move by)
See how the morning mist can hide us away,
And how the day is so much fun.
Isn't it groovy in a daydream,
(Dreaming today),
Doesn't the day seem like it could never end,
And so my friend, we're one.
Baby, it's funny, how I can feel so sunny,
When you're beside me,
We Can Fly.
Oh We Can Fly.
Hey, Mister Wind, just keep us sailing,
(We come sail along).
High in the sky there's no curtailing our fun:
So ev'ryone come on. Hey you on the ground,
Take a look up and see what we're found.
Nothing to tie us, bluebirds come up to guide us,
When you're beside me,
We Can Fly.
Oh We Can Fly.
We Can Fly,
Hey everyone on the ground, let's fly.

I Really Want To Know You
(Barry Mann, Cynthia Well)
Lead Singer: Susan
I want to look behind the mirror of your eyes.
And see the secret world. The world your words disguise.
The birthplace of your sighs.
I want to know the pain of all your secret fears.
And when you speak of them, the ones that no one hears,
I want to taste your tears.
I really want to know you.
I really want to know you.
I want to share the dreams you've never shared before.
And stand inside your soul and unlock every door,
And darling even more.
I really want to know you.
I really want to know you - to know you.
To love you.
I want to share the dreams you've never shared before.
And stand inside your soul and unlock every door,
And darling even more - even more.

Silver Threads and Golden Needles
(Jack Rhodes, Dick Reynolds)
Lead Singer: John
I don't want your lonely mansion,
With a tear in every room.
All I want's the love your promised
Beneath the silvery moon.
Well you think I could be happy
With your money and your name.
Just to hide my head in sorrow,
While you play your cheatin' game.
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine.
And I dare not drown my sorrow,
In the warm glow of your wine.
You can't buy my love for money,
'Cuz I never was that kind.
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine.
I don't want your lonely mansion,
With a tear in every room.
All I want's the love your promised
Beneath the silvery moon.
You can't buy my love for money,
'Cuz I never was that kind.
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine.

The Time Has Come
(Dan Watchel)
Lead Singer: Paul
Look at you now, there's nothing left to hold you.
If he didn't care, at least he could have told you.
The time has come to love another,
You don't think that's right.
You would love it every night.
Saying it's love will only make it worse now.
The play is the same,
no need to rehearse now.
The time has come to love another,
Don't think that's right?
You would love it every night.
The time has come to love another,
Don't think that's right?
You would love it every night.
Look at you now,
You're laughing and you really mean it
Look at your eyes, you know you can't conseal it.
The time has come to love another,
Don't think that's right.
You would love it every night.
You would love it
You would love it every night
You would love it
You would love it every night
You would love it
You would love it every night

Deliver Me
(Jeffrey Hatcher)
Lead Singer: John
Driving at midnight and the moon is
Looking right at me
I can feel it settling down on me
Over me
Come deliver me from this night
When I left you standing so alone
Then I started wondering
But I don't mind saying it now
Oh please come to me
Come deliver me from this night
Ahh that love we had found
Well we drove it underground
Deliver me
This canyon's on fire now
And I'm wondering
How much longer will it be
Till it comes tumbling down
Over me
Come deliver me from this night
Ahh that love we had found
Well we drove it underground
Deliver me
Yeah all that love we had found
Well we drove it underground
Deliver us from our yesterdays
Hold us together if it can't be done
Deliver us from all that might be
If we get what we think we want
Ahh deliver me
Driving at midnight and the moon is still
Looking right at me
I can feel it settling down on me
Over me
Come deliver me from this night
Ahh that love we had found
Well we drove it underground
Deliver me
Oh please deliver me
Come on now deliver me
Come on now deliver me
Deliver me from this night
Deliver me
Deliver me
Come on come on come on now deliver me
From this night
Deliver me
Come on, come on deliver me
From this night

Now, I'm a shy one,
You made me that way.

But you know all the time.
That' it's just a game in a dry run,

How did I find one?

I couldn't buy one -
Well, she gives me her love from free.

Seeing all the time,
That she's just a game in a hot run,

You're Not The Same Girl
(Ray O-Toole)
Lead Singer: Paul
Should have known I couldn't stay away
Guess there's really nothing else to say
It rained all night
But it's really coming down today
Should have known a girl could change like that
Should have known it but I found out fast
You know what I said now
I got to say
You're not the same girl
You're not the same girl
I had to turn and walk away
Ahhh it hurt so bad, it seems so sad
Guess there's going to be some tears tonight
We couldn't talk, we couldn't even fight
We could not listen
Because we could not hear
Should have known I couldn't stay away
Guess there's really nothing else to say
Rained all night
But it's really coming down today
You're not the same girl
You're not the same girl
The one who used to look away
Ahhh it hurt so bad, it seems so sad
Yes I know that you're not the only one
Go ahead baby have your fun
I know what I said now
I got to say
You're not the same girl
You're not the same girl
One who used to look away
You're not the same girl
You're not that same girl
I had to turn and walk away
Ahhh it hurt so bad
Ahhh you know it hurt so bad
Ahh you're not the same girl

Covered Wagon
(Danny O'Keefe)
Lead Singer: Paul
Get the lead out Mama,
Pack up everything we own.
The smog's about to get me,
And I got a mind to roam.
In my Covered Wagon,
Baby down the road we go.
Got an itch to ramble
Got no place to be.
The people in the city, surely,
Got no use for me.
In my Covered Wagon,
Baby down the road we go.
Yes in my Covered Wagon,
Baby down the road we go.
Baby down the road we go.
Headed for the country,
Ain't nothing keep me here.
I feel so free and easy,
Like a funky pioneer.
In my Covered Wagon,
Baby down the road we go.
In my Covered Wagon,
Baby down the road we go.
Down the road
Down the road oh ohed
Down the road
Down the road oh ohed
Down the road
Down the road oh ohed (repeat and fade)

Most Of All
(G. Geld, P. Udell)
Lead Singer: Bob
I'm gonna miss the schoolhouse on the hill,
The clang of bangin' lockers in the hall,
But of all the things I'll miss this summer, baby,
I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you most of all.
I'll miss the hours talkin' on the phone.
The way I'd run right home to get your call.
But of all the things I'll miss this summer, baby,
I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you most of all.
I'll think about a New Year's Eve...
With snowflakes in your hair.
I'll dream about a April prom...
Though summer everywhere.
I'll miss those crazy parties that we had.
The friendships that we cherished one and all.
But until I feel you kisses next September,
I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you most of all.
I'll miss you, most of all.
I'll miss you.

Just Believe It
(Susan Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Susan
Well I was thinkin’ about it on the way back home
The big old boulder has become a stone
And I’m still traveling around life’s bend
In no hurry to get to the end, are you?
Well I clean my windows, now the streaks are gone
And I can see for miles, not a road too long
So packed my bags, give em' all away
Well I’m sorry but I can not stay
It’s true, I’m movin' through.
And the stars tracking us all (or on) the way
Things are changing here everyday
I’m OK and the sky is still blue
The way I see it we make a choice
Take or leave it, can’t you see it?
Tell me now what are you gonna do?
Well want to see it, don’t you?
Well I was thinkin’ about it just the other night
That big old anchor has become a kite
I’m easin’ back while it flies away
I don’t even hold that string today
It’s true, I’m sailing through
And the stars tracking us all the way
Things are changing here every day
I’m OK and the sky is still blue
The way I see it we make a choice
Take or leave it, just believe it
Tell me now what are you gonna do?
Well, I want to believe it, don’t you?
You can’t stop sun, and you can’t stop trees
You can’t stop rain, and you can’t stop me
(Hey’s)
Well I was thinkin’ about it and I have to say
I am still not sure just how I lost my way
But all the same I’m not turnin’ back
These are better days, I won’t give them back
Would you, well you’d be a fool
And the stars tracking us all the way
Things are changing it every day
I’m OK and the sky is still blue
The way I see it we make a choice
Take or leave it, just believe it?
Tell me now what are you gonna do?
Well I want to see it, don’t you?
And I’m gonna believe it, won’t you?
I want to believe it, don’t you?
And the stars are tracking us all the way
And things are changing it every day
Humm, ummm, ummm umm
Humm, ummm, ummm umm)

Nanny's Song
(Susan Cowsill, M Prejean)
Lead Singer: Susan
You fell in love across the backyard fence
You read your books behind closed doors
You lived and loved with some regrets
“I’d do it all again,” she said
And as I turned around to go
I heard her singing sweet and low
Oho Oho I don’t want to leave this earth
Oho Oho I don’t want to let it go
You played the game, you played to win
You watched the game become a war
Now he’s fighting hard, he fights to live
And now they’re beating down his door
And when I ask here’s what he told
I want to see my son grow old
Oho Oho I don’t want to leave this earth
Oho Oho I don’t want to let it go
Oho Oho I don’t want to leave this earth
With all the endless summer days
Watching winter while it fades
Autumn’s sunlight through the trees
The scent of springtime on the breeze
It’s real life that sets you free
Can I take it all with me?
Watching babies while they sleep
Chasing fireflies through the streets
Sleeping under star filled skies
That moment real love arrives
It’s not as if I didn’t know
That I’d have to let you go
Now I was born with a broken heart
It’s not a pretty way to start
And deep down inside I always knew one thing
Beautiful joy my life would be
And when it’s my time to go
You’ll hear me singing sweet and low
Oho Oho I don’t want to leave this earth
Oho Oho I don’t want to let it go
Oho Oho I don’t want to leave this earth
No I don’t want to leave this earth

Indian Lake
(Tony Romeo)
Lead Singer: Paul and Bob
You take a bus marked Lakewood Drive,
And you keep on ridin' 'til you're out of the city.
Where the air is fine with the sweet smellin' pine,
And the countryside's pretty.
And you see daffodils, peepin' over the hills,
Or a honey lovin' mama bear.
Just take a left at the bridge, (left of the bridge)
Go down to Quakertown Ridge, (go to the ridge now)
And in a minute you're there. (in a minute you're there)
Let's go to-
Indian Lake is a scene you should make with your little one.
Keep it in mind if you're lookin' to find,
A place in the summer sun.
Swim in the cove, (swim in a cove)
Have a snack in the grove or you can rent a canoe. (you can rent a canoe)
At Indian Lake you'll be able to make the way the Indians do.

All I Want To Be Is Me
(Bill Cowsill, Bob Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Richard
You got some imagination,
But a wild inclination.
You don't live for me,
But against me.
Always trying to repair me.
But you don't go, about it gently.
Why, why lovin' can't you see?
All I really want to be is me.
Lately if you took my mood,
Upper half your attitude.
Your complain when I'm raining,
Then you start you acuvating
You are never unreframing.
Why, why lovin' can't you see?
All I really want to be is me.
You invented hostile feelings.
??? from your healing.
My mind you are rearranging
Now you'll never ever change.
People bow in adoration.
Why, why lovin' can't you see?
All I really want to be is me.
Lovin' can't you see?
All I want to be,
Want to be is me.
All I want to be is me.
All I want to be is me.

You Got A Way To Make Me Smile
(Bob Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Susan
You got a way to make me smile.
I remember yesterday, wondering what could I do,
I was so far down and now, I run into you.
And now I know that the rain will go
And the wind will take all my sorrows.
Cuz you got a way to make me smile.
I used to hide away
And no one wanted to share
All of the love that I had to give
But you, you really cared.
And now I know that the rain will go
And the wind will take all my sorrows.
Cuz you got a way to make me smile.
(You got a way to make me smile.)
Such a long time
I've been lonely, it's been a hard road
Such a long time
You came along and took the load
Cuz you got a way to make me smile.
You got a way
You got a way to make me smile.
I remember yesterday, and what I remember is true
You take me along on a one way ride
I belong to you.
Cuz now I know that the rain is gone
And the wind has taken my sorrows.
Cuz you got a way to make me smile.
You got a way to make me smile.
You got a way to make me smile.

And my body goes reeling when it comes from you.
