TIA'S WALTZ©1998
Call me early in the morning. Call me late in the night.
Oh I'll be there. I'll fly by your side in a moment.
I'll be your guidance forever. You are my child and the love of my life.
Give me all of your pain and I'll feel it.
Come to me darling, I'll heal it. Don't cry anymore, I will steal it.
I need you to know that you're safe here. I'll take all your fears and your worries away.
Shield this child from every harm always and today. Hold her hand sweet Jesus, I pray.
You are more than I ever imagined. A mama's own treasure from heaven.
You are a light in the darkness, an angel's pleasure forever.
My Tia, my baby, the love of my life.
CHARLIE©1986
On a mountain across the lake, there was a little boy who found a snake
He’s gonna keep him for a pet, but what this poor little boy doesn't know yet,
Is that it’s Charlie, Charlie, Charlie the fake
He can grow, he can shrink, he can smell nice, he can stink,
Charlie, Charlie today he was a snake
When this boy took him home, old Charlie began to groan
Went into a rage, broke from his cage and turned himself into a bear enraged
It was Charlie, Charlie, Charlie with hair
He can growl, he can stare, he can claw, he can scare,
Charlie, Charlie today he was a bear
Now one day Charlie saw some pretty girls so he changed himself into a string of pearls
They saw him on the ground, the chicks gathered round,
All fighting over what they'd just found
It was Charlie, Charlie, Charlie had this whim
He can melt, he can fly, become a bird and drop in your eye
Charlie, Charlie made the girls fight over him
One day Charlie saw a field of mice, so he had an idea that wasn't so nice
He changed himself into a cat, clawed the mice & flew away as a bat
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie the brat. He can kill, he can create,
Can leave a minute before & never be late
Charlie, Charlie, today he was a cat and a bat
Now Charlie had a dream last night, he dreamt that he became a kite
Tossing and turning all about, opened the window and then flew out
Poor Charlie, Charlie, Charlie is dead. He can sleep, he can dream,
He can fall, he can scream
Charlie, Charlie, landed on his head
THE HULA HULA HULA DANCE©2005
There's a dance I like to do. It perks me up when I'm feelin' blue
I just put on my Hawiian lei and dance my dance this way
CH) I take 2 steps to the left, 1, 2, then 2 steps to the right, 1, 2
Wave your arms from side to side, then do a backward slide
It's so easy if you give it a chance. We'll do the Hula Hula Hula dance
Oh yeah, we're doin' the Hula Hula Hula dance
When my friends don't want to play, there is something I have to say
Just put that colorful necklace on, and dance the whole day long
CH)
Aloha!

MOE, THE RABBIT©2006
Moe the rabbit has a silly habit, he hops the whole day long
And while he’s hoppin’ without stoppin’, he sings his favorite song
Ch) Hippity hop, hop -- hop-- hop
Yippity hippity hop. Jumpity jump, jump bump jump
Yippity hippity hop
In the yard where Joe works hard, you’ll find Moe the rabbit
Running along, singing his song, and chewing on his carrot
CH)
One day around dawn Joe was trimming the lawn when Moe came hopping by
He was saved by his mother, who said, “Oh brother!”, Joe almost mowed the rabbit!
Spoken: Whew, thankfully, Moe’s okay -- back with his family in his
happy rabbit home. But soon enough, Moe will be back in the yard singing:

THE MY FRIENDS GAME©2006
My good friend named Ed likes to tap on his head
My pal Eleanor stomps her feet on the floor
Tap on your head, stomp on the floor, just like Ed and Eleanor
And spin round and round and round to the “My Friends Game”
My compadre Meg likes to stand on one leg
And my good old Grandpop likes to do that and hop
Stand on one leg. Do it and hop, just like Meg and my Grandpop
Spin round and round and round to the "My Friends Game"
People like to do their thing, me ya know I like to sing
What is it you like to do? Think it over and see it through
And spin round and round and round to the my friends game
My funny chum named Grace makes a silly face
And my good buddy Claire likes to mess up her hair
Make a silly face, mess up your hair, just like Grace and my buddy Claire
And spin round and round and round to the my friends game
MY BIRTHDAY BABY (A special song for Marli)©2006
You are the reason for stars in my eyes
They reflect all of your laughter and cries
You are my birthday baby
'Cause when you were born, again I was too
I am your Mommy and I love you
You are the reason my heart will overflow
Only the of the ages of Mommies could know how
You are my birthday baby
'Cause when you were born, again I was too
I am your Mommy and I love you
In this uncertain world, sometimes I feel blue
And drink from a half-filled cup
Then I open the door and see your sweet face
And, oh, how you fill me up
You are the reason I laugh 'til I cry
You are the reason I live 'til I die
Marli, you are my birthday, baby
When you were born, again I was too
I am your Mommy and I love you
