Heaven
© Bar Scott 2000, 2002 Published by Lucy Max Publishing ASCAP 2000
Years ago I remember holding hands 
Running around and falling down 
In circles then, the sun was shining everywhere 
I remember my hand in your hand 
And then I find that I remember holding you 
In the grass in the meadow 
And here I am, I’m on my knees 

Looking to heaven so far away 
Searching for my way 

In love with you 
The sun was shining down on my 
I remember just lying there 
The sky was turning like a movie screen 
Where the clouds roll in fast 
And here I am I’m on my knees again 

Looking for heaven, far, far away 
So far that I can’t find my way 

When I am here 
Roses are red, a violet’s blue 
When I’m in love with you 
When I am here 
Ashes to ashes 
We all fall down 
And we get up again 
We all get up 

I’m walking all the way to heaven 
Heaven here I come 
I’m almost all the way to heaven 
Heaven turned away 

Why am I here? 
Where roses are red and black 
And no violet’s blue when I’m in love with you 
Why am I here? 
Ashes to ashes 
We all fall down 
And we get up again 
We all get up 


Fear From Paradise
© Bar Scott 2000 Published by Lucy Max Publishing ASCAP 2000
A thousand nights ago when we were young 
I heard a voice that sang my name 
And handed me a rose 
How did he know? 

A millionaire could not predict it 
The tarot cards would not foretell 
He’d paint even though he’d gone blind 
How could he know fear from paradise? 
Paradise from standing still in the dark? 

The night before the wind was howling 
The land was there they’d heard 
But heaven knows 
They sailed across the sea anyway, 
Oh my God! 
How could they know fear from paradise? 
Paradise from standing still on the shore? 


Easter Sunday
© Bar Scott 2000 Published by Lucy Max Publishing AS CAP 2000
Sometimes I think to make a little sacrifice 
But I forget before I do 
It’s easy and easier 
I could give up a mug and save a buck or two 
(and give it to you) 
Or give you the shirt off of my back 
It’s easy and easier 

Easter Sunday 
Church on that day 
Back out Monday 
Why? 
Easter Sunday 
Church on that day 
Back out Monday 
Why? 
I’ll tell you why: 
It’s easier 

When I get rich I’ll give a lot to you 
(you know I will now) 
Maybe that shirt or my old shoes 
It’s easy and easier 

Easter Sunday 
Church on that day 
Back out Monday 
Why? 
Easter Sunday 
Church on that day 
Back out Monday 
Why? 
(It’s easier) 
easier, easier 

Sometimes I think to make a little sacrifice 
(You know I do now) 
I just forget before I do 
It’s easy and easier not to 
easy, easier 


Write Me A Love Letter
© Bar Scott 1995, 2000 Published by Lucy Max Publishing ASCAP 1995
I want to hear your voice and touch your hand 
Lie down and hear the beating of your heart in my ear 
If I could see you I would know where you are 
Instead I’m hoping that you’ll 

Write me a love letter tell me how you feel 
Write me a love letter tell me you love me still 


So many thoughts are running ‘round in my head at night 
With him beside me and her face allied with yours, not mine 
Every night when the darkness sets in 
I lie here wishin’ that you’d 

Write me a love letter tell me how you feel 
Write me a love letter tell me you love me still 

Our ending had come in my heart so I turned away 
In time I thought you’d change 
ease the pain 

So won’t you write me tell me how you feel 
Write me a love letter tell me you love me 

Alone again, I am alone again 
Don’t turn me away, don’t turn me away, no, no, no 

Please write me tell me how you feel 
Write me a love letter tell me you love me still 

I want to hear your voice and touch your hand 
Lie down and hear the beating of your heart in my ear 


Buddy’s Back in Town
© Bar Scott 2000 Published by Lucy Max Publishing ASCAP 2000
We said good-bye to him in 1943 
I told Freya Alan then 
“my life’s ahead of me when Buddy’s back in town!” 

Sinatra would sing to us each night on the radio 
We would sit and hope that he’d sing “I’ll Be Seeing You” 
When Buddy’s back in town 

I’ll hear that train come down the track 
I’ll wear lipstick ‘red-as-love’ 
I’ll be the first one there in a big round hat 
And I will wave right back 
When he’s back in town 

We’d look to Orion at the same time every night 
I’d find I’d be dreamin’ of my man in his sailor whites 
When he gets back in town 

I’ll hear that train come down the track 
I’ll wear lipstick ‘red-as-love’ 
I’ll be the first one there in a big round hat 
And I will wave right back 

And then he’ll say to me 
“Oh, Shirl, will you marry me? 
Please, marry me?” 
And then I will say to him 
“Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

I said good-bye to him in 1943 
Now Buddy’s back in town 

Ooo, ooo, ooo 
Ooo, ooo. ooo 


Like It Was
© Bar Scott 2000 Published by Lucy Max Publishing ASCAP 2000
I lie alone with just a light on 
The telephone and a day-old coffee by the bed 
Rehearsing every line before it’s said 

I’ll let it ring and then I’ll say 
That I’ve been fine and I’m so happy that you’ve been 
Daddy says I play that game with him 

You said, I said 
Around again 
Control yourself, I tell myself, 
We’ll love again 
Try again 
Here we go again 

If I’d worn a different blouse and tried not to talk so much 
I know it could be like it was 

Dropped by your house again this morning 
The hose was out and the paper in 
You’re sleepin’ in 
I guess you couldn’t hear the doorbell ring 

You said, I said 
Around again 
Control yourself, I tell myself, 
We’ll love again 
Try again 
Here I go again 

If I could touch you, and you would touch me 
I swear it could be like it was 
Ow! Ow! 


Hold Your Head Up
© Bar Scott 2000 Published by Lucy Max Publishing ASCAP 2000
Sometimes I see what is happening in my life 
But my eyes don’t see and my ears won’t hear the signs you’re giving 

Things aren’t always what they seem to be 
Things can’t always be what used to be 
No, no 

One lie, one cheat, was one too many crimes 
He’d hide behind that perfect smile and lie over and over 

Things aren’t always what they seem to be 
Things can’t always be what used to be 
No, no 

Hold your head up, hold your head up, high 
Hold your head up, hold your head up, high 
High, high, high hello 

Hold your head up, hold your head up, high 
High, high, high hello 

Hello, hello, hi 


Cry
© Bar Scott 2000 Published by Lucy Max Publishing ASCAP 2000
I heard a story a guy named Jason told 
About a man he’d known 
Who’d lost his wife 

She fought so hard for him 
But she could not hold on 
She left behind his child for him to hold 

When Jason told that story 
I held my breath in fear 
That anyone would suffer such a broken heart 

And as that little child became a little girl 
He loved her twice as much 
She was his lover’s child 

She had her mother’s smile 
She had her mother’s eyes 
Although she’d never cry 
For fear she’d never stop 
For fear 

When Jason told that story 
I held my breath in fear 
That anyone would suffer such a broken heart 
And not cry 

She didn’t want to start to cry 

When Jason told that story 
I held my breath in fear 
That anyone would suffer such a broken heart 

And not cry 
Cry 
Cry 


Where the Angels Meet
© Bar Scott 2000 Published by Lucy Max Publishing ASCAP 2000
Go to sleep now 
It’s time to dream 
And go to where the angels meet 

They’ll shower you with kisses 
And shelter you from harm 
And bring you safely back in to my arms 

They will feed you milk and honey 
From streams that flow with love 
All around you stars will shine 
Where the angels meet 

Go to sleep now 
I’ll be here when you stir 
To start another day with you 

Each day I’ll wonder! 
Each day I’ll long to see 
The places where your dreams will lead 

And I will feed you milk and honey 
From streams that flow with love 
All around you stars will shine 
Where the angels meet 

So fly away, little one, you’re my angel 

Go to sleep now 
Find your dreams 
Where the angels meet 

Go to where the angels meet 
Go to sleep 


Love Is The Reason
© Bar Scott 2000, 2002 Published by Lucy Max Publishing ASCAP 2000
I have caught my emotions right down under my skin 
Come, my love, lie out in the open and Ill let you in 
I’ll try 

I’ll find all the bruises, I’ll touch every scar, 
I will make no excuses, I’ll feed you grapes and seeds 
and love, love 

Love is the reason I love this life, Love 

If I started to show you I just may never stop 
When I try to free my emotions, I feed you grapes and seeds 
And love, love 

You and I believe in the other side of love 
The other side of love 
All we really need for the other side 
is love, love 

Love is the reason I love this life, Love 
Love is the reason I love this life, Love 
Love is, Love is, 
I love, Love 

If I turn to you, I might run away, turn around, then run back again, 
Oh, Love, love,
