Star girl had a 70s mind
Travelling through space and time
Telling everyone
That love is alright
Star girl wore 70s bands
Walking around, jamming her head
Telling everyone
That love is alright
And she told me to keep on waiting
And she told me to wear a smile
So I'm going to keep on waiting
Next time won't you stay a little while?
Star girl had a 70s man
A man she didn't quite understand
Their love
Was not alright
Her smile had faded away
He seemed to ruin her day
Their love
Was killing her inside
But she told me she kept on waiting
She told me she wore a smile
So I'm going to keep on waiting
Till I see her spaceship arrive
Star girl had a 70s mind
Travelling through space and time
Telling everyone
That love is alright

Summer, oh Summer
Can I hold your hand?
Summer, my Summer
That boy ain't good enough a man.
Summer, dear Summer
You'll have a shoulder to cry.
Summer, my lover
I know you can't handle those lies.
And I'd love to see you smile,
Every once in a while.
And if you need to get mad,
I'm just another number you can dial.
Lover, my Summer,
Girl I've never loved one like you.
Summer, oh Summer,
I know I can never be with you.
And I'd love to see you smile,
Every once in a while.
And if you need to feel better,
I'm just another person you can call.

That Girl

I met a girl at the back of a bar
And she said "Hello, my name is-"
And I forget the rest.
But I know she was a pretty girl
And she wore a pretty dress.
Oh I'm going to find that girl.
I met a girl and we went for a walk
And she told me some of her favorite things
And I forgot the list.
But I know she had a pretty smile
And she's very hard to miss.
Oh I'm going to find that girl.
I met a girl and we went to my car
And she said that I could kiss her
And that I couldn't forget.
It's been driving me a bit crazy
And it keeps going in my head.
Oh I'm going to find that girl.
Oh I'm going to find that girl.
Oh I'm going to find that girl.

Rain

The darkness in the clouds
And the rain drops that fall,
While the kids all playing in the rain.
The waters crystal clear
As it runs all through the floor,
But the children are playing in the rain.
So let it rain, let it rain.
Let it rain over me.
Let it rain, let it rain.
Let it rain over me.
She's packed all of her bags
And she's gone out the door,
And she says I'm the one that I should blame.
I sit at the window
Looking as she leaves me by,
Wondering if she'll ever come home again.
So let it rain, let it rain.
Let it rain over me.
Let it rain, let it rain.
Let it rain over me.

The Wedding Song

A young man in my 20s, my father pulled me aside
He said you've done awful plenty now it's time to find a bride
And she's gotta look pretty and she's gotta be clean
And just like your mother she should never be mean.
But how will I know there's a girl who's right for me?
Then one day I met a girl and I asked her for a dance
And she looked up and gave a nod and I was lost in a trance
And we danced for a little while until she got kind of tired
And when she left I lost all my hope and I lost all my desire.
Because I thought there'd be no one who'd be right for me.
But one day I'll meet a girl not too far from now
And she'll be both the best and worst and I won't know how
And we don't even need to talk we can speak without a sound
And one day I'm going to buy her a diamond crown.
And that's when I'll know she's the one who'll be right for me.
And that's when I'll know she's the one who'll be right for me.
And thirty years or so, I'll pull my son aside.
I'll say you've done awful plenty now it's time to find a bride
Just make sure she's pretty and just make sure she's clean
And just like your mother she should never be mean.
But son you'll know if this girl is meant to be.
Because that's how I knew that my girl was right for me.
