Hold Her Tight Tonight
- Larry J. S. Yates ℗ ©1980 At The Gate Publishing SOCAN
Night after night has been passing
The lonely way home is so long
There's only one hope in the darkness
From the heart comes this passionate song...
Hold her tight tonight
You feel the time is right
Do what you want to do
And sweep her away with you
So shy that you don't sing your love song
Your eyes look away when she's near
How can you have what you dream of?
Your heart's telling you what you should hear...
She is standing beside you, and wants you
You can see that her heart's longing too
You're dancing, your passionate romance
Is here and it's calling to you...

Echoes
- Larry J. S. Yates ℗ ©1981 At The Gate Publishing SOCAN
You thought you left behind the dream of
Having someone special close to talk to.
Yet, now your love is standing there; a
Feeling's rising ...it's a sort of deja vu.
Flashing out ot the night,
Laughing at logical light,
Come the dreams that tell you when your
Lover's holding you, it's so right!
Echoes! ...The old that you will find in the new.
Echoes, is just what has been calling to you.
The new song you've been listening to is
Everything you want to sing and dance to.
It gets you moving on the floor; it
Makes your body feel the way you like to!
Flashing out of the past,
Comes the tune you loved last,
Like a brother or a sister,
Similar, and in the same class.
What was said and done yesterday,
Can't come back as it was, today.
"Yet", you say, "So much seems to ring a bell!"
Why it seem so familiar, I can tell...
Don't you know? It's echoes!

GOODBYE BROTHER - Larry J. S. Yates
©1981 AT THE GATE PUBLISHING SOCAN
Goodbye brother...goodbye. Goodbye brother...goodbye
"Goodbye brother" ...Such a simple line.
Why don't people say, "Goodbye" and say what's on their mind?
You mean so much to me! I'll miss you, all the time.
"You are very special to me; I'm so glad you are mine!"
Goodbye brother. ...Do you cherish me?
Why not show the way we feel, so that we can see?
I don't love another man the way that I love you.
There will always be a place in my heart just for you.
Goodbye brother...goodbye. Goodbye brother...goodbye.
Goodbye brother...goodbye.
You're all I've got in this world. You can't be replaced by a girl.
After all the changing we've been through...
Goodbye brother, goodbye.

I AM MY FRIEND

I AM MY FRIEND ©1981 At The Gate Publishing
Angel, diaphanous but white, floating down
Where the Sandman has come 'round the night before.
Larry awakens as it sings him the song
That he wrote when he thought he could write no more.
It's a sweet but solitary voice that's heard;
All alone, but full of heart as by a bird.
I am my friend; the gift love sends;
Until time ends, I am my friend.
He sings it when the light is falling
And the night time comes.
He hears it when the sun is rising
And the day times comes....
Time-keeper shadows shorten, then grow again
As the sailing sun seeks out the western shore.
Larry is sleepy, yet he sings out the refrain
That he wrote when he thought ' he could write no more;
And the chorus rises soft as it is strong;
It's as true as it is simple in a song.
I am my friend; the gift love sends;
Until time ends, I am my friend.
