Lyrics for Sweets for the Soul
Love Is The Reason 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, When the Hero Falls © Bar Scott 1995 Published by Lucy Max Publishing ASCAP 1995 Hello, it’s me I’ve been a long way from home this time The only difference now is that my hope is unbound by you Turn on the safe light and leave it on at night for me I need to see the dark so I see the whole of me When the hero falls Then nothing stands at all No, no, no Her call for help couldn’t hide a thing from me How long’s this carryin’-on going to get under my skin? When the hero falls Then nothing stands at all And the eagle flies away from here And the eagle flies away from here This time I’ll go along way from home And I’ll see our differences with love When the hero falls Then nothing stands at all Then nothing stands at all And the eagle flies away from here And the eagle flies away from here 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 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 I’m Here © Bar Scott 1995 Published by Lucy Max Publishing ASCAP 1995 I thought that love was hiding in the stars above My heart was ice from trying to find it in the dark Now I’m here to take a load off your feet I’m here to make your kisses complete I’m here to learn a lesson in how to love My heart cried out for loving that only I could give I heard her cry and listened as I turned within Now I’m here when the crossroads meet I’m here when the river runs deep I’m here to learn a lesson in how to love And as the stars set in your eyes I see the love I’d tried to find Sometimes we look so far When loving starts if I am here to take a load off your feet I’m here to make your kisses complete I’m here to learn a lesson in how to love And as the stars set in your eyes I see the love I’d tried to find Sometimes we look so far When loving starts if I am here to take a load off your feet I’m here to make your kisses complete I’m here to learn a lesson in how to love you I love you, Love I’m glad I’m here One Small Cage © Bar Scott 1995 Published by Lucy Max Publishing ASCAP 1995 Kneeling by the bed each night Michael prayed his soul to keep As mommy and dad stood watch he heard hymns and the ticking of the clock He had one small cage, one small cage That he could live in He’s sleepless now for hours, he cries out With the vengeance of a child If I should die tonight, Oh, please, my Lord, I pray my soul to take He had one small cage, one small cage, that he could live They built one small cage, one small cage to fence him in He ran free at 18 when the gate was finally opened He found men, he found love, he found music he could turn to When the doctor found the signs “You’re positive, just months to live” He built one small cage, one small cage for him to live in One small cage, one small cage to fence him in Oh no, no, no, no In a note his mom replied, “you’ve brought it on. God’s will be done!” She built one small cage, one small cage for him to live in One small cage, one small cage to hem him in One small cage, one small cage, one small cage Up on the Hill © Bar Scott 1995 Published by Lucy Max Publishing ASCAP 1995 Nothing seems to bother him Nothing is so real as the leaves on the tree up on the hill By night he sleeps so easily Then by day, he roams the hill On his way past the tree He hears birds while they sing And the leaves that form slowly after winter Will later fall silent to the ground Nothing seems so far away Nothing is so dear As the leaves on the tree up on the hill I’ve put gates, forks and barriers All along the wooded lane That leads through the trees Past the birds while they sing And the leaves that form slowly after winter Will later fall silent to the ground Ah, ha, ha Nothing seems to bother him Nothing is so real as the leaves on the tree up on the hill He sees every leaf so clearly He sees the forest from the trees Why can’t it be me that I see when I sit up on the hill? cause the leaves that form slowly after winter Will later fall silent to the ground the leaves that form so slowly after winter Will later fall silent to the ground Ah, ah, 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 His Mother’s Legacy © Bar Scott 1987, 1995 Published by Lucy Max Publishing ASCAP 1987 Listen, my son Your life is all that I can give If I could, I’d teach you all that I have learned Go and err And know my love Know my love is in your heart 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 Seasons © Bar Scott 1992 Published by Lucy Max Publishing ASCAP 1992 Yesterday I ran down to the sea I ran just to see what I could I could see The moon was round Stars were in the sky Waves came and washed my prints away And seasons come around The sun goes up and it goes down You and I, we ran down to the sea We ran just to see what we could we could see That seasons come around The sun goes up and it goes down Yesterday, I ran down to the sea I ran just to see what I could I could see That seasons come around The sun goes up and it goes down Seasons come around And you know that the sun will go up and it will go down 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 Grace © Bar Scott 1992,1995, 2002 Published by Lucy Max Publishing ASCAP 1992 Thank the world for giving me All the reasons that I have to sing Amen . amen, amen 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!

Tell us the secrets within? Can you sing from your heart? There’s nothing more than this. Sing from your heart There’s nothing quite like it Little by little secrets find a way of hiding Little by little the silence is And in between verses the words are fenced-in silence The silence is, silence is, silence is broken Can you sing? Tell us the secrets within? Can you sing from your heart? There’s nothing more than this. Sing from your heart There’s nothing quite like it Billy, Can You Hear Me? © Bar Scott 1992 Published by Lucy Max Publishing ASCAP 1992 I like the way you walk, you shuffle your feet I like the way you talk, it sounds so sweet to me You look so cool, so clean, in your tight new blue jeans I really like your style, Bill, it knocks me right out!
