Where Did All of Those Years Go? 3:02 TRACK LIST: 1. The World Behind The Sky (Steve Vozzolo)  Out of thin air, into my head, into my imagination Add a touch of my heart, out of my mind, come the words of inspiration Paint me a picture, I’ll paint you a song, colors of infatuation I’m a painter of words, yes I am, a painter of dreams Try living in fiction, it’s so fine, just try I am a creation of my imagination I hold the key that opens the door that leads To the world behind the sky, the world behind the sky Maybe I’m crazy, maybe finally sane, I am free of expectation I’m on the road, that leads to the sky, crystal clear blue destination I’m searching for silence, so I can hear with my heart, love needs no explanation I’m a painter of words, yes I am, a painter of dreams Try living in fiction, it’s so fine, just try I am a creation of my imagination I hold the key that opens the door that leads To the world behind the sky, the world behind the sky If you’re looking for me I’ll be in the world behind the sky  2. Four Freedoms (Steve Vozzolo-Joe Manning) A man stands up for the things he believes With passion and fire he speaks from the heart His friends turn away ’cause they just don’t see He stands by the words that set him apart For the sake of the truth we all seek We have the right to speak Oh, we have the right, we have the right We have the right to speak A child wakes up and cries in the night His mother is there to keep him from harm She holds him tight and whispers his name Rocks him to sleep in her loving arms For the sake of the child we hold so dear We have the right to be free from fear Oh, we have the right, we have the right The right to be free from fear A family sits down on a Sunday Gives thanks for the blessings they receive But a man who is hungry is a man who can never be free That man could be you or me In an old white church in a New England town (In an old white church in an American town) (alternative lyric) The music rings out and the people rise Side by side, they worship their God They pray unafraid for they realize That across this land all men are free We have the right to believe We have the right, we have the right We have the right to believe Freedom of speech, freedom from fear, freedom from want, freedom to believe.   3. All The Colors Of The World (Steve Vozzolo-Joe Manning) A young girl walks to school in an angry town An old man sleeps in the park as the rain comes down A million people walk hand in hand, we shall all be free When the sun comes up in the morning sky I see... All the colors of the world, flashing across the sky Blending in blinding light, all the colors of the world I see the light of a million faces shining down from the sky The colors of the world A child cries out in the street in a war torn land A soldier lays down his gun takes the child’s hand People sail from a distant shore, longing to be free When the sun goes down in the evening sky I see... All the colors of the world, flashing across the sky Blending in blinding light, all the colors of the world I see the light of a million faces shining down from the sky The colors of the world A young girl walks to school in an angry town An old man sleeps in the park as the rain comes down A child cries out in the street in a war torn land A soldier lays down his gun takes the child’s hand  4. One More Day (Steve Vozzolo-Joe Manning) One more day, one more sunrise Yesterday’s sorrow fades away All His blessings overwhelm me I thank God for one more day I was lonely, my heart was aching All alone, too weak to pray But my spirit was never broken All I asked for was one more day I was hungry, my soul was empty I got lost along the way By His spirit, His love and mercy I was given one more day  5. Girl At The Mirror (Steve Vozzolo-Joe Manning) Girl at the mirror, what do you see? When you look in the mirror do you see what I see? Spring is bursting out around you, flowers are in bloom Do all your dreams come true inside your room? Girl at the mirror, what do you know? Do you feel a million different feelings start to grow? Night is gone, day is dawning, sun is on the rise All your dreams are showing in your eyes Do you dance when no one else can see? Do you sing when no one is listening? Do you close your eyes and make a wish, a wish you’ll never tell? Sing another song and then, dance across the room again Girl at the mirror, what do you see? When you look in the mirror do you see what I see?  6. Organize A New Universe (Steve Vozzolo) I heard the circus is coming to town We’ll make friends with the circus clowns The acrobats and the horseback riders The tightrope walkers and the trapeze flyers We’ll make friends with the fire eater The ringmaster will be our leader Next thing we’ll do is gag all the lawyers And secretly disarm all the planet destroyers By magic we’ll make this world spin in reverse and We’ll organize a new universe When the time is right we’ll let the animals out All the people will sing and shout The circus girls will lead the parade To celebrate the new world we made By magic we’ll make this world spin in reverse and We’ll organize a new universe We’ll see this through to the very end We’ll stick together through thick and thin The circus girls will lead the parade To celebrate the new world we made By magic we’ll make this world spin in reverse and We’ll organize a new universe  7. The Fishin’ Hole (Steve Vozzolo-Joe Manning) Saturday morning break of dawn Me and Grandpa are already gone Lots of news to catch up on Down at the fishin’ hole It’s a place where no one goes Only me and my Grandpa know The hours go by nice and slow Down at the fishin’ hole Down at the fishin’ hole Sittin’ in the sun with a fishin’ pole I could stay here ’till I grow old Down at the fishin’ hole All I need is my Grandpa sittin’ right by my side A can of worms and a comic book A little tug on my hook It’s all right if the fish don’t bite That big old sun is sinking low Grandpa says that it’s time to go But we’ll be back another day you know Down at the fishin’ hole Down at the fishin’ hole Sittin’ in the sun with a fishin’ pole I could stay here ’till I grow old Down at the fishin’ hole  8. Breaking Home Ties (Steve Vozzolo-Joe Manning) Breaking home ties, so longs and good-byes Your Mama’s gonna miss you... Son, you know I was born and raised on this farm When your Grandpa died I was just seventeen I had my dreams but I was needed at home There are miles to travel and places to see Breaking home ties, so longs and good-byes This is something I find so hard to do Son, you’re a man now, there’s no doubt Your Mama’s gonna miss you and Son, I will too Son, when it rains, oh, let the rain fall Never give up on your wildest dreams Be willing to change keep an open mind And always stand up for the things you believe Breaking home ties, so longs and good-byes There are miles to travel and places to see Son, don’t forget about your Mama and me Breaking home ties, so long, good-bye  9. So Long Main Street (Steve Vozzolo-Joe Manning) Down on the corner there’s an old drug store Closing tomorrow says the sign on the door On a stool there’s a school boy, he’s sittin’ there all alone He lays down two quarters for a strawberry cone So long main street, so long You have a place in my heart that will live on You’re a part of this country but you’re fading away So long main street USA We used to meet at the diner at the break of dawn That old greasy spoon was open all night long Used to root for the good guys at the Saturday matinee And watch the big parade on Independence Day From the highway you can’t see the court house or the green Small town life for most is just a post card or a dream So long main street |  10. Norman Always Knew (Steve Vozzolo-Joe Manning) I’ve been from Maine to Texas, I’ve searched from coast to coast For the country on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post On every road I’ve traveled, in all the places I’ve passed through I saw the faces of America that Norman always knew There’s so much that we owe this man, with a pipe in his mouth and a brush in his hand His pictures made us understand what Norman always knew No matter how the world may change, these words sing out like an old refrain Deep inside we’re all the same, Norman always knew The young girl at the mirror, the boy with the fishing pole The family all together, the young man leaving home The wonder of young lovers, the old folks love still true The special feelings that we share, Norman always knew Yes, deep inside we’re all the same, Norman Rockwell knew  11. Love Is A Dancing Flame (Steve Vozzolo) I found the poem you wrote between the pages of a book You left it in a place you knew I’d find it Please tell me, don’t deny it Did you write the poem for me? You know I’ve always loved your poetry You’ve never written words as sad as these Love is a dancing flame, a changing sky, sounds that fill the night I dreamed I heard an angel sigh, I dreamed I saw a fading light How sweet to hear a lullaby How sad to say the word goodbye Did we fall asleep inside, did something inside just die? Have I lost you, have you found somebody new? Is there something I can do? Is our love a shattered dream? You know I’ve always loved your poetry I’m trying to understand what this one means Love is a dancing flame, a changing sky, sounds that fill the night I dreamed I heard an angel sigh, I dreamed I saw a fading light How sweet to hear a lullaby How sad to say the word goodbye A dancing flame, a changing sky How sad to say the word goodbye  12. Sometimes It Rains (Steve Vozzolo-Joe Manning) Baseball is a very simple game Baseball is a very simple game You throw the ball, you hit the ball, you catch the ball, yes you do Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains When it rains, it’s a low down broken hearted doggone shame When it rains, the umpires say there ain’t gonna be no game today Baseball is a lot of fun to play Baseball is a lot of fun to play You slide in the dirt, you dig and you dive, you spit in the dugout, yes you do Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains When it rains, it’s a low down broken hearted doggone shame When it rains, the umpires say there ain’t gonna be no game today  13. Rock-A-Bye Baby (Steve Vozzolo-Joe Manning) The long road that runs through the heart of your life Somehow has brought you to me The footsteps of heartache still wake you at night Like thunder in your memory So hold me and say you’ll be mine We’ll find forever this time So rock-a-bye baby dream of my love I’ll still be here when the sun comes up I’m right beside you to keep you from harm So rock-a-bye baby you’re safe in my arms Will you look at that moon like a faraway flame Burning our names in the sky And the air smells like summer after the rain As we kiss those dark clouds goodbye So hold me and say you’ll be mine We’ll find forever this time So rock-a-bye baby dream of my love I’ll still be here when the sun comes up I’m right beside you to keep you from harm So rock-a-bye baby you’re safe in my arms  14. Keeper Of The Lighthouse (Steve Vozzolo-Joe Manning) The light streams in the window as another day begins The sky is gray this morning, the seagulls ride the wind I’m the keeper of the lighthouse, I sit with pen in hand In my diary I will tell of a simple life, a simple man I counted thirteen ships passing in the night When the captain sounds the whistle I know he sees the light The waves were crashing fiercely, the sea wall needs repair The tide will soon be turning, there’s a cold and salty mist in the air I keep the lighthouse flame burning bright Through wind and rain and fog, a strong and never ending light Across a stormy sea, through the mystery of the night I keep the lighthouse flame burning bright I will ask Suzanne on Sunday if she will be my wife I’ll promise that forever she will share my life As keeper of the lighthouse, keeper of the night Like my Father did before me, I will keep the flame burning bright I keep the lighthouse flame burning bright Through wind and rain and fog, a strong and never ending light Across a stormy sea, through the mystery of the night I keep the lighthouse flame burning bright  15. Across The Street From Carnegie Hall (Steve Vozzolo) Yes, I know, it looks like rain today Just the same, I’m gonna give it a try People the show must go on today At the mercy of the wind and the rain, under the gray New York City sky I do it for the old time music When they see my tuxedo they smile They stop and listen to me They celebrate their joy and their pain, they celebrate life for awhile Now appearing in New York the world’s greatest street singer Playing music free for all Come one, come all see the guy with the guitar Across the street from Carnegie Hall I’ve played for millions, five or ten at a time Some days I make a dollar, most days I make a dime If you’re ever in New York City West 57, near 165 Come I’ll play my music for you At the mercy of the wind and the rain, the world’s greatest street singer survives Now appearing in New York the world’s greatest street singer Playing music free for all Come one, come all see the guy with the guitar Across the street from Carnegie Hall  16. Thanksgiving Day (Steve Vozzolo-Joe Manning) I’m thankful for America, I’m thankful for my friends I’m thankful for my Mom and Dad, the Pilgrims and the Indians I’m thankful for my cat and dog, I’m thankful that I’m free For the turkey on the table and the pumpkin pie, I’m thankful that I’m me Momma’s in the kitchen, Daddy’s choppin’ wood I’m just sittin’ here thinkin’, the turkey smells so good My cousins will be coming by just in time to eat They’ll hang around and wreck our house and then they’ll up and leave Thanksgiving Day, Thanksgiving Day Let us be thankful each and every day It’s ten o’clock Thanksgiving Night, I just can’t sleep I’m thinkin’ ’bout the people who just don’t have enough to eat I’d like to share the things I have, oh, I wish that it could be That all the people in the world had just as much as me Thanksgiving Day, Thanksgiving Day Let us be thankful each and every day  17. Main Street Stockbridge (Steve Vozzolo-Joe Manning) Instrumental  18. Where Did All Of Those Years Go? (Steve Vozzolo) There is a love for which there is no love song A love beyond the painter’s masterpiece A love of which the poets can’t tell A love that lasts until the end of time Where did all of those years go? The first sign of spring and the winter’s first snow? Where did all of those years go? The first sign of spring and the winter’s first snow? A love beyond the painter’s masterpiece... | | |||
