We Can Fly
(Artie Kornfeld, Steve Duboff, Bill Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Bill
See how the fluffy clouds move by us,
(See how the clouds move by)
See how the morning mist can hide us away,
And how the day is so much fun.
Isn't it groovy in a daydream,
(Dreaming today),
Doesn't the day seem like it could never end,
And so my friend, we're one.
Baby, it's funny, how I can feel so sunny,
When you're beside me,
We Can Fly.
Oh We Can Fly.
Hey, Mister Wind, just keep us sailing,
(We come sail along).
High in the sky there's no curtailing our fun:
So ev'ryone come on. Hey you on the ground,
Take a look up and see what we're found.
Nothing to hide us, bluebirds come up to guide us,
When you're beside me,
We Can Fly.
Oh We Can Fly.
We Can Fly,
Hey everyone on the ground, let's fly.

Gray Sunny Day
(Bob Cowsill, Bill Cowsill, Tony Powers, Neil Sheppard)
Lead Singer: Bill
Grey Sunny Day, Bright outside, inside misty,
Can't shake this grey, been too long since she kissed me.
Clear as a bell up above, but I'm foggy, confused inside,
Why won't you tell me now?
What is she tryin' to, what is she tryin' to hide?
Grey Sunny Day, Somebody must be foolin',
Can't find my way, hey sunshine what's she doin'?
Sunshinin' all around, but I'm standin' here hazy eyed.
Why won't you tell me now?
What is she tryin' to, what is she tryin' to, what is she tryin' to hide?
Clear as a bell up above, but I'm foggy, confused inside,
Why won't you tell me now?
What is she tryin' to, what is she tryin' to , what is she tryin' to hide?
Grey Sunny Day, Can't see the sunshine for the rain.
Grey Sunny Day, Can't see the sunshine for the rain.
Grey Sunny Day, Can't see the sunshine for the rain.
Grey Sunny Day. Grey Sunny, Grey Sunny Day

Heaven Held
(Tony Powers, Neil Sheppard)
Lead Singer: Bill
La, la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,
La, la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la
Some days are dark as night,
Some night as light as day,
Sometimes I'm lost, then I'm found again,
Then drowned again.
Sometimes I cry from you,
Sometimes I fly from you,
Sometimes I'm up then I'm down again.
When you've down again.
I've been Heaven Held,
Blessed and cursed, Heaven Held,
Helped and hurt by lovin' you.
I've been Heaven Held, Blessed and cursed, Heaven Held,
Cooled and burned by the things that we've been through.
L,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,
La,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la
Sometimes I cry from you,
Sometimes I fly from you,
Sometime I'm lost then I'm found again.
Then drowned again.
I've been Heaven Held,
Blessed and cursed, Heaven Held
Helped and hurt by lovin' you.
I've been Heaven Held, Blessed and cursed,Heaven Held,
Cooled and burned by the things that we've been through.
La,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la
La,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la

A Time For Remembrance
(Bill Cowsill, Bob Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Bill
It's A Time For Remembrance,
Time to recall the things I couldn't think of yesterday.
Now my eyes bear no resemblance,
To the eyes that used to rise at ev'ry word you'd say.
But I can't hide the mem'ry of you away,
Today or any other day.
It's A Time For Remembrance, and I'll open my eyes.
Now the chime in the steeple,
Reminding me of summer sights and nights that wouldn't end.
Even unfamiliar people walking by,
They sigh and know I've lost my only friend.
I used to tell myself just dust in your eye,
They couldn't be tears, you know, you don't cry.
It's A Time For Remembrance, time to cry.
And I'll cry.
No I can't hide the mem'ry of you away,
Today or any other day.
It's A Time For Remembrance, time to cry.
And I'll cry (and I'll cry). I'll cry.

Gotta Get Away From It All
(Bob Cowsill, Bill Cowsill, Mary Dean)
Lead Singer: Bill
Up at eight, down at five,
Can't be late, be on time,
Same old thing, and I could cry,
They clipped my wings, and I can't fly.
I gotta go, get away from it all,
Take the phone off the hook, so no one can call me.
Go, get away from it all, 'cause if I don't I think I'll lose my mind.
I've got no time, no time to spend,
Not even time to find a friend,
My wheels spin, go 'round and 'round,
But I can't win, I just go down.
I think it's time to fly, fly away anywhere,
Leave the noise and the crowds, and get a breath of fresh air,
Fly, fly, away anywhere, 'cause if I don't I think I'll lose my mind.
People lost in a race, have no names, have no faces,
The more I look, the more I see,
I look like them, they look like me.
Oh I gotta go, get away anywhere,
Leave the noise and the crowds, get a breath of fresh air,
Go, go, get away from it all, 'cause if I don't I think I'll lose my mind.
Go, get away from it all,
I better go, get away from it all.
I better go, get away from it all.
Now go get away from it all.
I better go, get away from it all.
I better go go go go go go go

What Is Happy?
(Bob Cowsill, Artie Kornfeld, Steve Duboff, Bill Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Bob and Bill
Ev'rybody's talking 'bout the things they have to live without.
What Is Happy baby?
They really don't know how to live,
They've all forgotten how to give,
What Is Happy baby?
To me it's walking through the park when I'm alone with you,
(So much to do)
To be in love and in a dream, a magic scene for two.
They're all hung up in the sky, They're copping out without a try.
What Is Happy, baby?
The microscope has made the blind,
They say contentment's hard to find.
What Is Happy, baby?
To me it's looking at the leaves as they fall to the ground,
(All the leaves come tumbling down)
And see the million little thinks just waiting to be found.
What Is Happy Baby?

What Is, What Is Happy baby?

In Need Of A Friend
(Bill Cowsill, Bob Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Bill
You say you know somebody,
Someone who feels down when you're feeling sad,
Who's up when you're glad.
But, I don't know anybody,
Haven't a person, don't know where I stand,
Gee, you're a lucky man.
(Chorus)
I need a friend,
Not just a wall that I talk to,
But a mind having doors I can walk through.
You say you know somebody,
Someone who shows you the way when you're lost,
At any cost.
I don't have anybody,
I grope in the dark and I'm totally blind,
Hey, don't you think that's unkind.
(chorus)
I think I know somebody,
Someone who feels just the way that you do,
He reminds me of you.
But you'll have to find that body,
I'm sorry there's nary a thing I can do,
You see it's all up to you.
But you'll find a friend,
Not just a wall that you talk to,
Just show him the door he can walk through
(You'll find a friend)
Yes you can.

Yesterday's Girl
(John Morier)
Lead Singer: Bill
On the edge of your bed,
In the empty silence,
You sit and you stare.
And though you're not much for looking backwards,
She's almost there.
Black magic girl,
Comes from the shadows of your yesterdays.
You find yourself thinkin' 'bout her lovin' ways,
You try to tell yourself that you don't care,
You call her name but she's not there and
Oh then you know that you'd give the world for Yesterday's Girl
All the times when her touch made your heart a dancer,
Have long, long gone by.
You're a man so for a man tears are not the answer,
Your eyes are dry.
Ah but that girl, still moves you in so many hidden ways.
And though you've tried no one else can take her place,
It's been so long you've learned to live without her
But you can't stop from thinking about her.
Oh then you know that you'd give the world for Yesterday's Girl.
(That's when you know that you'd give the world for Yesterday's Girl). Yesterday's Girl
Oh then you know that you'd give the world for Yesterday's Girl.

Beautiful Beige
(Bob Cowsill, Bill Cowsill, Artie Kornfeld)
Lead Singer: Bill
You told me, my friend, what's on you mind,
Now I'll tell you what's on mine.
Black is black and white is white,
You're so hung up on day and night,
Is it that important to you?
Can't you let the dark come shinin' through?
A searchin' hand says come and greet me,
Be a friend and don't defeat me,
You say that the day is lighter,
I say that the stars can be bright too.
Let Beautiful Beige come into your mind,
(Beautiful Beige come into your mind,)
Let Beautiful Beige come into your mind,
(Like it came into mine).
A violet in the field is growing,
You're afraid to touch not knowing
That it's petals cannot burn you,
Don't you think it's time you learn to love?
Your window sill is lined with lilies
And other white assorted sillies,
Planted within golden cups,
But is there any diff'rence up above?
Let Beautiful Beige come into your mind,
(Beautiful Beige come into your mind,)
Let Beautiful Beige come into your mind,
(Like it came into mine).
Let Beautiful Beige come into your mind.
(Beautiful Beige come into your mind.)
Let Beautiful Beige come into your mind,
(Like it came into mine).
Let Beautiful Beige come into your mind.
(Beautiful Beige come into your mind.)
(Beautiful Beige come into your mind.)

Mister Flynn
(Bill Cowsill, Bob Cowsill, Barry Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Bill
Wearing a crinkled cover-all,
Waiting by the backstage door.
We're standing in the rain,
You won't let us in,
Till it's time for the show to begin.
Up at sunrise, traveled far,
Just to be here early.
But we're still sitting in the car.
Let us in oh surely.
We always like to set up early.
We all know you, Mister Flynn,
Yes we know you.
We met your frown in every town,
No matter where we've been, we never see a grin.
We asked around and what we found,
Made us all feel badly.
We understand you had a band,
But it ended sadly.
You're entertained for many years,
But you never made it.
(Did you really try?)
And now you're holding back the tears, totally frustrated.
And now you're trying hard to hate it.
Well we all know you, Mister Flynn
Yes we know you.
We understand and sympathize
This state of mind your in.
We all know you Mister Flynn
(We all know you Mister Flynn)
We all know you Mister Flynn

One Man Show
(Bob Cowsill, George Fischoff, Bill Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Bill
Today I feel l like dreaming,
The setting's perfect, for any kind of anything.
Doing myself a big favor,
Letting ev'rything go.
Such a wonderful flavor,
Today it's A One Man Show.
I have no need for any company.
Don't waste your time, because today it's me and only me.
Maybe if you come back tomorrow,
You can play the game.
But it must be tomorrow,
Make an appointment, I'm not in today.
And don't come knockin', knockin' on my door,
The game is mine and only I keep score,
I'm tellin' you once more.
Doing myself a big favor, letting everything go.
Such a wonderful flavor, today it's a one man, today it's a one man,
Today it's A One Man Show.
Ooh ! it's a feeling I'll remember.
So sharp, so very clear.
I doubt that it could disappear.
Oh it was quite a production,
But only I could know.
There was no introduction the day of my one man show.
Oh ! today I feel like dreaming,
Today I feel like dreaming.
Oh ! today I feel like dreaming,
Yes today I feel like ------------
