The Rain The Park and Other Things
(Artie Korneld, Steve Duboff)
Lead Singer: Bill
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.

Pennies
(Bob Cowsill, Artie Kornfeld, Bill Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Bill
Well, it seems that someone told you how to live,
And to get the most from life you take, don't give.
Love is just a word, something that you've heard before,
With no changes, enter strangers where love used to be.
And once more you're saving your Pennies for a rainy day,
Counting the hours while your life slips away.
In your little ivory tower it must get very cold,
And you think that life can just be bought and sold.
But I disagree, it means so much more to me,
With no changes, enter strangers where love used to be.
And once more you're saving your Pennies for a rainy day,
Counting the hours while your life slips away.
Will you ever learn?
Will you ever learn?
Will you ever learn? You know it's gettin' very late,
And before you realize it, love can turn to hate.
And once more you're saving your Pennies for a rainy day,
Counting the hours while your life slips away.
Saving you Pennies for a rainy day.

La Rue Du Soleil
(Bob Cowsill, Artie Kornfeld, Bill Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Bill
In a little cafe a La Rue Du Soleil,
She happened to sit down beside me.
And sipping my tea made it easy to see,
Something was misplaced inside of me.
(Chorus)
Is she looking at me?
Is she there behind the wall?
Is she made out of what's to be?
Meaning is she there at all?
In that little cafe I heard somebody say:
"Pardon Monsieur, may I have a light?"
And starting to smile, I was changing my style.
She smiled back, it seemed only right.
(chorus)
(chorus)
She's looking past me,
At someone who's walking past me.
C'est la vie. C'est la vie.

Thinkin' About The Other Side
(Bill Cowsill, Bob Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Bill
Is it just a fantasy, that and nothing more?
Is there such a place to see, just behind my door?
If I go will I return? Is there any pain?
Should I take a chance to learn?
Will I still be the same?
Thinkin' About The Other Side,
Is it true what they say?
Or have they lied?
Is the grass much greener on the other side?
I've got to know.
Should I believe the things they said?
Are they friends of mine?
Can I trust the books I've read?
Should I cross the line?
Are there many roads to take?
Could I lose my way?
Perhaps I've made a big mistake,
But you know what they say.
Thinkin' About The Other Side,
Is it true what they say?
Or have they lied?
Is the grass much greener on the other side?
I've got to know.

Dreams of Linda
(Harvey Price, Dan Walsh)
Lead Singer: Bill
In a gingerbread house 'neath the willow tree,
By a peppermint brook flowing softly;
In a daze of love, cotton skies above,
As the clouds drift by, I breathe a sigh for,
Linda, (Dreaming of Linda), Linda, (Thinking of her).
A butterscotch sundae in July,
A strawberry rosebud catching my eye;
As the willow weeps, and the sparrow sleeps,
As the clouds drift by, I breathe a sigh for,
Linda, (Dreaming of Linda), Linda, (Thinking of her).
Every night spent dreaming of Linda,
Every minute of the day.
Every breath I take for Linda,
And I hope it always stays that way.
In a gingerbread house 'neath the willow tree,
By a peppermint brook flowing softly;
In a daze of love, cotton skies above,
As the colors fall, I can't help but recall.
My Linda, (Dreaming of Linda), My Linda, (Thinking of her).
Dreaming of Linda (Dreaming of Linda), My Linda, (Thinking of her).
Dreaming of Linda (Dreaming of Linda), Linda, (Thinking of her).
I'm dreaming of Linda (Dreaming of Linda),
Dreaming of Linda, (Thinking of her).
Linda (Dreaming of Linda).
oh oh Linda (Dreaming of Linda),

River Blue
(Bill Cowsill, Bob Cowsill, Dick Korn)
Lead Singer: Bill
Flowing, flowing, flowing down,
Over rocks and under ground.
Sometimes smooth and sometimes soothing,
Sometimes rough and most times moving.
(Chorus)
River Blue, and so am I, ever since baby passed me by.
Now I'm sitting all alone,
Wond'ring where she could have flown.
Maybe she went upstream, downstream,
Or perhaps she's found a new stream.
(chorus)
Now it's time for me to wonder,
Find a place where I can ponder.
And I'll say it once again,
But it just won't be the same.
(chorus)

That's My Time Of the Day
(Steve Duboff, Artie Kornfeld)
Lead Singer: Bill
The sun comes up and awakens the flowers,
And turns the sky to bright blue.
I love the morning, it's peaceful and quiet,
I love to spend it with you.
(Chorus)
Anytime I'm with you,
That's My Time Of The Day.
Anytime I'm with you,
(You Know) Day or night, night or day,
Everything turns out OK.
We hear the whistle, it's twelve o'clock,
And we can look straight up to the sun.
I love the afternoon, busy and lively,
With you, it's nothing but fun.
(chorus)
In the cool of ev'ning I hold you so close,
And the stars are shining so bright.
We sit and listen to love all around us,
And then I softly and warmly and gently kiss you goodnight.
Anytime I'm with you,
That's My Time Of The Day.

Troubled Roses
(Richard Keelan)
Lead Singer: Bill
Always going from town to town,
But trying to believe I might settle down, soon.
Making it to where the opportunities abound.
Racing. chasing, eyes embracing cast down highway moon.
You know I take to the road when I find that the load on my mind
Has me blind to the times I can have on a highway going my way.
Living in cities where the lights never dim,
And trees raised in concrete grow slim and die.
People walking, talking, their faces glum and grim,
Packing my thoughts, I give into a whim.
And I get on the move, get in a new groove,
And run with the sun, to some place near a highway where I can live my way.
I'm driven to livin' and learnin' life's lesson,
But possess an obsession for messin' around.
If I get in a rut and start sayin' "So What,"
And instead of cuttin', I just start puttin' things down,
I better take to the street before I get weak in the head,
And get led through a bed full of life's Troubled Roses on my way.
Yeah yeah yeah through a bed full of life's Troubled Roses on my way.
Yeah yeah yeah through a bed full of life's Troubled Roses on my way.

(Stop, Look) Is Anyone There
(Bob Cowsill, Steve Duboff, Bill Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Bill
Stop, Look Is Anyone There, anyone that you could care for.
Please don't bury the key before you open up the right door.
But it's so easy to turn your back and run away,
And to say love is not for you.
But maybe today was just a rainy day,
And tomorrow may bring a sky of blue.
So Stop, Look, Is Anyone There,
Have you found someone to dream with?
Just find a place in your heart,
Love is closer than it seems.
But it's so easy to turn your back and run away,
And to say love is not for you.
But maybe today was just a rainy day,
And tomorrow may bring a sky of blue.
Stop, Look, Is Anyone There, anyone that you could care for.
Stop, Look, someone is there.
Someone that you could love.
Someone that you could love.
Someone that you could love.
Stop, look, someone is there.

How Can I Make You See?
(Bob Cowsill, Artie Kornfeld, Bill Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Bill
How Can I Make You See?
How Can I Make You See?
Now I've been try'n' to tell you I don't need company,
But you can't look past the windows of your eyes.
How Can I Make You See?
How Can I Make You See?
The light of love is shinin' and I won't disagree,
But I need some time to work it out,
Now How Can I Make You See?
How Can I Make You See?
See that I,
I have to find myself before I find somebody else.
And when I do, I'll turn to you,
But 'til I do, hang on, but just be ready for a lovin' destiny.
I just need time to work it out for myself.
How Can I Make You See?
How Can I Make You See?
How Can I Make You See?
How Can I Make You See?

(Come 'Round Here) I'm The One You Need
(Eddie Holland, Lamont Dozier, Brian Holland)
Lead Singer: Bill
Please come around here.
Please come around here.
Now you say, ev'ry time you need some affection,
The one you love goes in another direction.
You just sit back in a daze, reminiscing,
'Cause you know some other lips he's been kissing.
Now when you need the love he's never shown you, come 'round here,
And if you need some lovin' arms to hold you, come 'round here.
I may not be the one you want, but I know I'm the one you need.
Said I may not be the one you want, babe, but I know I'm the one you need.
Your life stands still the minute he goes,
You count the hours just hoping he shows.
Girl, can't you see while you're longin' for his touch,
That I'm the one who love you so much.
And while you're longin' for his embrace,
You're all alone there with tears on your face,
Now when you feel the need to cry to someone, come on cry to me.
And when you feel the need to lean on someone, lean on me.
I may not be the one you want, but I'm know I'm the one you need.
Said I may not be the one you want, babe, but I know I'm the one you need.
For days and days and days you sit alone by yourself,
He's out foolin' around with somebody else.
Leaving you all alone with nothing to do,
Just waiting 'til he has time for you,
Now when you need the love he's never shown you, come 'round here,
And you need some lovin' arms to hold you, come 'round here.
I may not be the one you want, but I know I'm the one you need.
(repeat and fade)
