Here's the story of a lovely lady who was bringing up three very lovley girls.
All of them had hair of gold like their mother, the youngest one in curls...
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong.....
And I grew strong and I learned how to get along. And so your back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face

Thank you for being a friend.... travel down the road and back again. Your heart is true, you're a pal, and a confidant.

Do you remember the 21st night of September,
Love was changing the minds of pretenders, While chasing the the clouds away
Our hearts were ringing,
in the key that our souls were singing,
as we danced the night
remember how the stars stole the night away

When I wake up in the morning the alarm gives out a warning and I don't I'll ever make it on time.
By the time I grab my books, and I give myself a look, I'm at the corner just in time to see the bus fly by
It's alight cause I'm saved by the bell.
If the teacher pops a test, I know I'm in a mess, cause my dog ate all my homework last night.
Riding low in my chair, she won't know that I'm there... if I can hand it in tomorrow it'll be alright
It's alight cause I'm saved by the bell.
RIP Frankie Beverly....
You make me happy, this you can bet.
You stood right beside me, and I won't forget
And I really love you, You should know
I wanna make sure I'm right girl... before I let go
Now we've had our good times that's what they say
We've hurting each other, Girl it's a shame.
I won't be foolish, I want to know
I want to make sure I'm right, girl. Before I let go!
