Stay in Kaneohe Play in Kaneohe Say it: 'Kaneohe' Say it's okay Oh Stay in Kaneohe Play in Kaneohe Say it: 'Kaneohe' Say it's okay I know now how I found you so now around you is where I'll stay and if you truly want me to I'll stay in Kaneohe Six thousand miles away from home we met over the telephone. I heard your voice and said, " Ooo La La " You had me at Aloha. We're gonna stay (stay stay) in Kaneohe (Stay on Oahu, where you taught me to smile) where the turquoise waters greet the mountains by the bay Stay in Kaneohe. Stay in Kaneohe Play in Kaneohe Say it: 'Kaneohe' Say it's okay Oh Stay in Kaneohe Play in Kaneohe Say it: 'Kaneohe' Say it's okay The first time that I saw you, Aw you stole my heart away You looked at me and I could see I'd always want to stay. The cell phone calls, the e-mails back, the voice message that always lacked that smile, that style, that sense of you that brought me to Oahu. We're gonna stay (stay stay) in Kaneohe (Stay on Oahu, where you taught me to smile) where the turquoise waters greet the mountains by the bay Stay in Kaneohe. We're laughin' with the dolphins 'cause they just wanna play "Catch us if you can before we get away" We're havin' so much fun You'll find us everyday out on Kaneohe Bay Ooo We love our lives We love our lives We love our lives way out in Kaneohe. Stay in Kaneohe Play in Kaneohe Say it: 'Kaneohe' Say it's okay Oh Stay in Kaneohe Play in Kaneohe Say it: 'Kaneohe' Say it's okay I know I'll never leave you 'cause I believe you when you say you know you'll never leave me 'cause you believe me when I say, "There's no one else no reason why we'd ever need to say goodbye Right here's the place we need to be. I love you and Hawaii ". We're gonna stay (stay stay) in Kaneohe (Stay on Oahu, where you taught me to smile) where the turquoise waters greet the mountains by the bay Stay in Kaneohe. We're laughin' with the dolphins 'cause they just wanna play "Catch us if you can before we get away" We're havin' so much fun You'll find us everyday out on Kaneohe Bay Ooo We love our lives We love our lives We love our lives way out in Kaneohe.

Everytime I hear the telephone, then realize its not your voice, I'm so reminded that I'm all alone and that I know it's not by choice. And everytime I hear a car pull up and look to see it's not your face, I'm so reminded that you're not with me and that my love has been replaced. But, Anytime, Anyday, Anyhow, Anyway I know I'll see your smiling face again and you won't pretend you didn't miss me. Anytime, Anyday, Anyhow, Anyway All you've gotta do is call my name 'cause it's not the same without you at anytime. Anytime you think you want me back, my heart is waiting. My heart's been breaking .....my love. Everytime I hear a baby cry, then look to see it's not our child, I'm so reminded that my smile's a lie and that my heartache's not so mild. Everytime I hear the telephone, then realize it's not your voice, I'm so reminded that I'm all alone and that I know it's not by choice. But, Anytime, anyday, anyhow, anyway I know I'll see your smiling face again and you won't pretend you didn't miss me. Anytime, anyday, anyhow, anyway All you've gotta do is call my name 'cause it's not the same without you ......at anytime. Anytime, anyday, anyhow, anyway Anytime, anyday, anyhow, anyway Anytime, anyday, anyhow, anyway Anytime, anyday, anyhow, anyway Anytime, anyday, anyhow, anyway........

Back in Hawaii in aloha land where a palm tree waves with a friendly hand oh oh oh Back in Hawaii Aloha waits for you If you go back to the mainland and you get caught up in the stress and the strife It's good to remember in the deep of December that you can still live such a beautiful life ..... Back in Hawaii in aloha land where a palm tree waves with a friendly hand Oh oh oh Back in Hawaii where Aloha waits for you You get that call and she's all you can think about can't blink without a tear in your eye You heard the ocean thunder, but never did she wonder if she'd ever lose the love of her life Back in Hawaii in aloha land where a palm tree waves with a friendly hand Oh Oh Oh Back in Hawaii where Aloha waits for you Fly down to Rio in South Brazil if you will and party hardy at Carnivale But you'll need to recover with your Hawaiian lover live Aloha, think ohana until you're Back in Hawaii in aloha land where a palm tree waves with a friendly hand Oh Oh Oh Back in Hawaii where Aloha waits for you Back in Hawaii !!

BACKSEAT DRIVER !! My girl is a backseat driver but I don't mind 'cause when I sit beside of her one look in her eyes and I'm hypnotized. She makes me feel like the man at the wheel until I get off the track and then I just look back and say, "Little backseat driver, Show me the way" !! My girl is a backseat driver makes my ride as smooth as a custom glyder No matter how rough, she makes me feel like I've got the right stuff. She makes the road rise up with a smile and clears the traffic away and then she hears me say, "Hey, little backseat driver, Show me the way" !! It may not always be the back seat that she's sittin' in while makin' my life sweet. I love the way she makes me feel complete. She keeps me drivin' on. And if I feel the need to retreat, she gets me back in gear in a heartbeat. I love her and I'll never end in defeat while my hearts poundin' out that back beat (back beat, back beat) from my backseat driver. My girl is my backseat driver ! She can take me where nobody has before A light from within her heart just sparkles from her eyes like a lighthouse to this lonely shore where she's lighting up my road once more. My girl is a backseat but I don't mind 'cause when I set beside of her one look in her eyes and I'm hypnotized She makes me feel like the man at the wheel until I get off the track And the I just look back and say, "Little backseat driver. Show me the way" !! Show me the way (My girl is a backseat driver) Show me the way (My girl is a backseat driver) Show me the way (My girl is a backseat driver) Show me the way My girl is a BACKSEAT DRIVER !

I don't feel bad anymore. When I think about you, I still think of happy days funny little ways that seemed a life worth living Oh I was giving love to you, even though I knew I wasn't getting through. I couldn't help but wonderin' if you'd ever come back home, when I'd think about you but now when I think about you I realize I could live without you and I don't feel bad anymore. 'cause I got my pride back and I'm not gonna look back You won't see me there at your back door You won't see me wearin' your foot print no more, not like before, when I think I'd think about you. But now when I think about you, I've realized I could live without you and I don't feel bad anymore. When I talk about you, I still say that you're my friend that you will be til the end It's just that we don't blend and then when I'm all by myself and I can't think of anyone else, that's the time your memory fades into shades of someone else. Then I'd think about you but now when I think about you I realize I could live without you and I don't feel bad anymore. 'cause I got my pride back and I'm not gonna look back You won't see me there at your back door You won't see me wearin' your footprint no more not like before Then I'd think about you but now when I think about you I've realized I could live without you and I don't feel bad anymore. When I dream about you, I still wanna hold on tight reach out in the night and hold onto the past, but now, at last I'm breaking through and I'm breaking free of you You can build a dream just as long as you know that's what it is. Then I'd think about you but now when I think about you I realize I can live without you and I don't feel bad anymore. No; I don't feel bad anymore When I think about you, I don't feel bad anymore. When I think about you, I don't feel bad anymore.

This is the way I've always seen it in my mind A beautiful girl drives up from me behind me one day Flashin' those lazy eyes Lickin' those lips from side to side I took a trip, but before I had realized ........ I fell in love with the girl in the rearview mirror I just happened to hear her as she was drivin' up a little bit nearer I fell in love with the girl in the rearview mirror Now I was drivin' along, just singin' a song with the radio when I saw her smile as we both were dialin' same stations, I just had to go, " Hey, so you like good music too " ?! She mouthed right back, "Let me sing it for you" I nearly flipped. What a trip. She was it. Then I knew I'd fall in love with that girl in the rearview mirror (Who's lookin' at ya' ?) I just happened to hear her (Who's gonna catch ya' ?) as she was drivin' up a little bit nearer Fell in love with the girl in the rearview mirror. When she said, "Hey Honey, now what's your name " ?, I started wonderin' "Now, what's her game ?" yeah Like was I ever gonna be the same or ever drive my car again ?? 'cause up until then, I'd never met The Girl In The RearView Mirror (Who's lookin' at ya' ?) 'just happened to hear her (Who's gonna catch ya ? ) as she was drivin' up a little bit nearer Fell in love with the girl in the rearview mirror. Now was I bein' a fool or playin' it cool ? It's hard to say 'cause a dreamboat lady sayin' "Hey there, baby" doesn't drive up to you every day. So it could've been in a dream I felt my heart and I heard a scream Was it the tires or a choir of a Heavenly team ? Sing ! 'Fall in love with her boy" "Fall in love with her boy" "Fall in love with the girl in the rearview mirror (I fell in love with the girl ) "You just happened to hear her" I just happened to hear her as she was drivin' up a little bit nearer I fell in love with the girl in the rearview mirror. I just happened to hear her as she was drivin' up a little bit nearer Fell in love with the girl in the rearview mirror. Girl in the rearview, Girl in the rearview Girl in the rearview, Girl in the rearview Mirror ! Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo

We were ridin' out a tropical storm right off of Hurricane Beach one fateful night We were hidin' out and tryin' to keep warm anchored away from the reef prayin' for the light. Though the fog and the rain were blinding all of our eyes and the waves were poundin' down on the coast, we were searchin' for sky when we all heard the cry of what they say was the mysterious ghost of Hurricane Beach. Don't be afraid now Don't be afraid The rattled nerves of the crew were raw and all at that moment saw a sillouette with lantern in hand. He pointed up toward a giant cliff where we had just gone adrift and showed a darkened lighthouse on land. And with the beacon closed down it was dark on the sound and no one lived in that house anymore (almost) We'd be dead on the rocks you see if there hadn't happened to be a mysterious ghost of Hurricane Beach. Don't be afraid now Don't be afraid Don't be afraid of the mysterious ghost He keeps an eye on the hurricane coast We were startled and scared to see somewhat suspiciously a bolt like a volt cross the bow Just feet from the reef we quickly hoisted the sheet and came about just in time 'don't know how We pushed off from a rock as we were reelin' in shock We heard the scrape down below on the hull. We sailed off and were saved from that watery grave giving thanks to that mysterious ghost of Hurricane Beach. Don't be afraid now Don't be afraid Don't be afraid of that mysterious ghost He keeps an eye on the hurricane coast Don't be afraid Don't be afraid Don't be afraid of the mysterious ghost.

The secret of a Super man is not just how he flies It's not about kryptonite, or the X-rays from his eyes He's an unintentional hero who asks nothing in return But when it's 'countdown to zero', there's a lesson we all learn. If we ever need a Super Man Man, we need one now ! To judge the wisdom of a Super Man there is no simple test The strength to hold his power back out of compassion for the rest is not a character measured by a bullet or a gun, but more of a treasure full of love for everyone. If we ever need a Super Man Man, we need one now ! And with a motto that is "keep on trying", we know you never will give up Man of tomorrow, you just keep on flying and we'll keep on looking up,up,up. The courage of a Super Man is deep within his heart He's all about pulling together, not pulling all apart The bravery that it takes to shake a hand and not a fist The power to start things up when most would all but quit If we ever need a Super Man Man, we need one now ! The very strength of any Super Man is his strength to persavere and the length to which this 'man that can' will go to make our voices clear With the will to encourage hope and change the way we feel to leap over slippery slopes like a mighty Man of Steel ! Oh, if we ever need a Super Man, man we need one now ! If we ever need a Super Man, man we need one now ! If we ever need a Super Man, Man........... We need one now !!

Every now and then or once in a while you've got to look back on your life 'cause knowing the how and when can bring up a smile or it can cut you down like a knife. You'll never feel the same unless you start your life all over again 'cause when you review your life you can preview what lies ahead. Now, when you review your life you can preview what lies ahead. That's why I've said, won't you Take, take , take me back to zero Take, take, take me back to zero and let me live my life again. They say that life is like a VCR you need to rewind all the tape and if you 'pause' and take a look where you are you'll see your future all takin' shape. Your future's in the past if you've learned your history at last. 'cause when you review your life you can preview what lies ahead. Yeah, when you review your life you will preview what lies ahead. That's why I've said won't you, Take, take, take me back to zero Take , take, take me back to zero and let me live my life again. Take, take, take me back to zero Take , take, take me back to zero and let me live my life again. So won't you take me back to zero ? Won't you take me away to that 'right is right' in black and white of yesterday ? where the shades of grey are washed away by what they'd say... all those celluloid heroes really take me back to zero. Take me back Take me back Take me back Take me back (Take me back) Oooo..... Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop (Take me back to zero. Won't you take me back again ?) Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop (Instrumental break) They say that life is like a VCR you need to rewind all the tape and if you 'pause' and take a look where you are you'll see your future all takin' shape.

When you think about it there's no need to doubt it You should never have to live alone. I know that you feel you've got somethin' to prove I just wish you'd pick up your feet and move At least just pick up the phone You can't do it alone You can't do it alone (You cannot do it. No, you can't do it. You can't do it alone) Because everybody has felt the way you do that reachin' out for somethin' that just keeps reachin' out for you But nobody becomes a Superman and though you've kept on trying you must've learned by now that you can't You can't do it alone Now, I know you're really tryin' not to be relyin' on me I don't really care that much. You've got this feelin' growin' inside yourself It's gonna keep you goin' despite yourself and though you're reachin' out on your own, you can't do it alone. Because everybody has felt the way you do that reachin' out for somethin' that just keeps reachin' out for you But nobody becomes a Superman and though you kept on trying you must've learned by now that you can't You can't do it alone I know you're feelin' lonely You need someone but only there's nobody who you feel you trust You need somebody willing to share your heart to keep your act together when you're apart and show you love like you've never known You can't do it alone.

Fifty More Years !! Three bothers, a cousin and a real good friend were singin' 'bout a summer that would never end when one bro' quit the road and wrote Pet Sounds So Glen jumped in, then Bruce, so they could still get around. They got around and what a beautiful sound they made when they would harmonize how they would mesmerize us. Dennis, Carl, Alan, Brian, Bruce and Mike (and David) Dennis, Carl, Alan, Brian, Bruce and Mike were coming up with harmonies they'd hope we'd like. They succeeded and repeated with hit after hit from California, surfin' girls to just dit, dit. Dit dit dit Dit dit dit Dit dit dit They came along with surfin' songs for all to hear then rev'd it up with hot rods so the chicks could cheer Don't worry darlin', there's nothin' to fear They'll keep us dreamin California more than fifty more years. Well, there's a rockin' beat like thunder to the roar of the crowd Still gets the bodies swayin' as the fans go 'wow' We can't believe it's happening How could this be ? Seems like we just got started Now it's over fifty. They got around and what a beautiful sound they made when they would harmonize how they would mesmerize us Dennis, Carl, Alan, Brian, Bruce and Mike (and David) Dennis, Carl, Alan, Brian, Bruce and Mike were coming up with harmonies they'd hope we'd like They succeeded and repeated with hit after hit with California surfin' girls to just dit dit Dit dit dit Dit dit dit Dit dit dit They came along with surfin' songs for all to hear then rev'd it up with hot rods so the chicks could cheer Don't worry darlin', there's nothin' to fear They'll keep us dreamin' California for more than fifty more years Dennis, Carl, Alan, Brian, Bruce and Mike were coming up with harmonies they'd hope we'd like They succeeded and repeated with hit after hit with California surfin' girls to just dit dit Dit dit dit Dit dit dit Dit dit dit They got around and what a beautiful sound they made when they would harmonize how they would mesmerize us Dennis, Carl, Alan, Brian, Bruce and Mike (and David)

The sweetest music in the world still comes from children So as they play it may it heal your heartstrings May you feel the peace that only love brings when a child sings to your heart That sense of innocence will since forever bind us to those memories full of smiles and kindness Let's forever place those tears behind us til the children sing again so their broken hearts can mend and know the past is all behind The children will remind.... Think of the Children A smiling face of innocence can be remembered just as a tender melody is rendered The gift is also given to the sender as the gift is in the song There is no right or wrong as long as kindness rules the heart Love is never torn apart As the Universe is forever expanding and as 'the Grandness of Design's demanding that there's room for all those souls still standing That's the truth that's always been And God speaks "Just Listen" and "Think of the Children" Think of the Children
