From the recording Still Moving
Lyrics
It’s been so long since I’ve seen your smile
You need a vacation - get away for awhile
But to come back home to the same old scene
Is wearing you down - it’s making you mean
You turn on the TV
but the news is depressing
nothing but sadness or window dressing
You’ve been working so hard with nothing to show
You haven’t been sleeping - maybe an hour or so
I’d do anything in this whole wide world
to make you happy to make you happy
I’d do anything cause you're my girl
to see you happy again
You’ve tried meditation - taken medication
You’re losing your patience with analyzation
What happened to that girl with the radiant face
It seems like a stranger has invaded your space
Let’s go for a walk
Go for a drive
Make love on the beach
by the rising tide
whatever it takes no matter the stakes
We got to get you back to that beautiful place
I’d do anything in this whole wide world
to make you happy to make you happy
I’d do anything cause you're my girl
to see you happy again
Well you can change your approach
Alter your diet
find a comfortable place to sit and be quiet
You could go for a swim
or take up running
You got to be patient
Cause your time is coming
Your dog’s getting thin
his hair is matted and brown
even your Siamese cat is getting you down
Your doors are locked and the windows are barred
The weeds are taking over the grass in your yard
So call out the army – call out the Feds
To try and get you up and out of your bed
Look out your keyhole baby - the sun’s golden rays
Still has the power to astound and amaze
I’d do anything in this whole wide world
to make you happy to make you happy
I’d do anything cause you're my girl
to see you happy again
