For Once in My Life
A Place in the Sun MUSICAL
Lyrics: Ron Miller
Music: Orlando Murden
Performed By: Oliver Richman
Goodbye old friend
This is the end of who I used to be
'Cause there's been a strange
And welcome change in me
For once in my life
I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once unafraid I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Would make my dream come true
For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once I have someone I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore
For once I can say
This is mine you can't take it
Long as I know I have love I can make it
For once in my life
I have someone who needs me
For once in my life
I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore
For once I can say
This is mine you can't take it
Long as I know I have love I can make it
For once in my life I have someone who needs me
For once in my life
I have someone who needs me

Bedtime for Toys
A Place in the Sun MUSICAL
Performed By: Stevie Wonder
Scene 20
Close your eyes
Beddy-bye tin soldier
Mommy says that it’s time for sleep
If my folks were wiser and older
They’d know kids and toys don’t need sleep
Don't be bad
Little cotton dolly
See how nice Mickey Mouse sleeps now
Even my brass drummer boy has stopped all his noise
‘Cause he knows it’s past bedtime for toys
(spoken):
You know, every Christmas, Santa Claus goes all over the world
With his reindeer, sled, and a big bag of toys
And he'll come to your house this year too
But sometimes... just sometimes
He doesn't have enough time to see every little boy and girl
Because the world is so big
So maybe we should sing a song
For all the children that Santa didn't visit
Bless the child who has no tin soldier
No brass drummer boy to put to bed
He will still grow wiser and older
Loving one small rag doll instead
He won't have a cotton dolly
Mickey Mouse won’t come to his house
Hold that rag doll to your heart
Nothing can destroy
The beauty one child finds
In one small toy
I'll Be the Road

Scene 19
It’s never easy when you’re cursing yesterday
And you can’t even see tomorrow
I know you’re proud babe
But until you find your way
I’ve got some strength that you can borrow
I’ll be the road
On the way to who you’re going to be
When you find all the dreams
That you’ve been searching for so long
It must be hard to walk with such a heavy load
Just bring your pain to me
I’ll be the road
I wouldn’t want a man whose soul has been untouched
Sadness and joy can live together
And you don’t have to be afraid you’ll take too much
‘Cause we’re on a journey to forever
I’ll be the road
On the way to who you’re going to be
When you find all the dreams that you’ve been searching for so long
It must be hard to walk with such a heavy load
Just bring your pain to me
I’ll be the road
It must be hard to walk with such a heavy load
Just bring your pain to me
I’ll be the road
I'll Be the Road

RON
Isn't that the hat you bought in Paris?
AURORA
No Dear, that's the hat I bought in Rome
RON
Well, what did you buy in France?
AURORA
We never got to France
RON
Oh...I guess I must be getting old, Dear
AURORA
Isn't that the suit you bought last fall, Dear?
RON
No Dear, I've had this at least 10 years
AURORA
Well, what did you buy last fall?
RON
Your carpet, wall to wall
AURORA
Oh...I guess I must be getting old, Dear
RON
Do you recall the day I climbed Mount Everest?
AURORA
Oh...You mean that hill couldn't climb without a rest?
RON
You mean it....
AURORA
Wasn't Everest
RON
Was just....
AURORA
A little hill at best....
TOGETHER
I guess we're getting old
RON
Isn't that a band of gold you're shining?
AURORA
I've shined it every day for forty years
It gets tarnished more each year
RON
But as long as it is near
The hand that I still love to hold
TOGETHER
I guess we're really not so old
Yester-me, Yester-you, Yesterday
A Place in the Sun MUSICAL
Lyrics: Lisa Dawn Miller
Music: Bryan Wells
Performed By: Stevie Wonder
Scene 12-C
What happened to the world we knew?
When we would dream and scheme
And while the time away
Yester-me, yester-you, yesterday
Where did it go, that yester-glow?
When we could feel the wheel of life turn our way
Yester-me, yester-you, yesterday
I had a dream so did you
Life was warm and love was true
Two kids who followed all the rules, yester-fools
And now….
Now it seems those yester-dreams
Were just a cruel and foolish game we used to play
Yester-me, yester-you, yesterday
When I recall what we had
I feel lost, I feel sad
With nothing but the memory of yester-love
And now…
Now it seems those yester-dreams
Were just a cruel and foolish game we used to play
Yester-me, yester-you, yesterday
Yester-me, yester-you, yesterday
Sing with me
Yester-me, yester-you, yesterday
One more time.....
Travelin' Man
A Place in the Sun MUSICAL
Lyrics: Ron Miller
Music: Bryan Wells
Performed By: Stevie Wonder
Scene 12-C
Something deep inside of me
Keeps me moving aimlessly
I've always been, I'll always be
A lonely travelin' man
Something that I can't explain
Molded me from wind and rain
Wild and free and hard to tame
A lonely travelin' man
Travelin' Man
Travelin' Man
Got no goal, got no plan
Just an old worn out heart in my hand
Travelin' Man
Travelin' Man
I'll get there any way I can
I'm just an uninspired tired out travelin' man
Please don't ask me where I've been
I've been alone through thick and thin
On the outside looking in
A lonely travelin' man
Something that I haven't found
Keeps me seeking greener around
Moving on from town to town
A lonely travelin' man
Travelin' Man
Travelin' Man
Got no goal, got no plan
Just an old worn out heart in my hand
Travelin' Man
Travelin' Man
I'll get there any way I can
I'm just an uninspired tired out travelin' man
Travelin' Man
Travelin' Man
Got no goal, got no plan
Just an old worn out heart in my hand
Travelin' Man
Travelin' Man
I'll get there any way I can
I'm just an uninspired tired out travelin' man

Like a long lonely stream
I keep runnin’ towards a dream
Movin’ on, movin’ on
Like a branch on a tree
I keep reachin’ to be free
Movin’ on, movin’ on
Like a branch on a tree
I keep reachin’ to be free
Movin’ on, movin’ on
There’s a place in the sun
Where there’s hope for everyone
Where my poor restless heart’s gotta run
There’s a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Gotta find me a place in the sun
Like an old dusty road
I get weary from the load
Movin’ on, movin’ on
Like this tired troubled earth
I’ve been rollin’ since my birth
Movin’ on, movin’ on
There’s a place in the sun
Where there’s hope for ev’ryone
Where my poor restless heart’s gotta run
There’s a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Gotta find me a place in the sun

Hey mister, hey mister
I just want a dime
'Cause I need a cup of coffee
And a moment of your time
I can tell you're raising hell
The way I used to do
But I wish someone had to talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you
I've been to Georgia and California
And anywhere I could run
Stole a woman in Tennessee
And we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces
Because I had to be free
I've been to paradise
But I've never been to me
Thanks mister, thanks mister
But please don't walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you
Why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part of an old man's heart
On the day before he dies
I've been to China & Asia Minor
On any ship that would sail
Made some noise with some good ole boys
And we wrecked a southern jail
I've seen the best men crawl and some teardrops fall
There ain't nothing I didn't see
I've been to paradise
But I've never been to me
I've even been to marriage
And children crying
For someone they couldn't find
Never knowing that I was searching
For things I left behind
I thought my heart could wait
But I learned too late
Only love can make people free
I've been to paradise
But I've never been
To me
I've Never Been to Me

Don't tell us not to walk with spring
Or not to sing along the way
Don't tell us not to feel the rain
We need the rain to warm the day
Don't tell us not to laugh at fear
When love is near, our fear is gone
Don't tell us not to act so young
Remember when your love was young
Don't tell us not to fall in love
Don't tell us not to laugh at fear
When love is near, our fear is gone
Don't tell us not to act so young
Remember when your love was young
Don't tell us not to fall in love

Touch Me in the Morning
Lyrics: Ron Miller
Music: Michael Masser
Performed By: Lisa Dawn Miller
Touch me in the morning
Then just walk away
We don't have tomorrow
But we had yesterday
Hey, wasn't it me who said that nothin good's gonna last forever?
And wasn't it me who said let's just be glad for the time together?
It must've been hard to tell me
That you've given all you had to give
I can understand your feeling that way
Everybody's got their life to live
Well, I can say goodbye in the cold morning light
But I can't watch love die in the warmth of the night
If I've got to be strong
Don't you know I need to have tonight when you're gone?
Till you go I need to lie here and think about
The last time that you'll touch me in the morning
Then just close the door
Leave me as you found me, empty like before
Wasn't it yesterday we used to laugh at the wind behind us?
Didn't we run away and hope that time wouldn't try to find us (Didn't we run)
Didn't we take each other to a place where no one's ever been?
Yeah, I really need you near me tonight
'Cause you'll never take me there again
Let me watch you go with the sun in my eyes
We've seen how love can grow
Now we'll see how it dies
If I've got to be strong
Don't you know I need to have tonight when you're gone?
Till you go I need to hold you until the time
Your hands reach out and
Touch me in the morning (Mornings where blue and gold and we could feel one another living)
Then just walk away (We walked with a dream to hold and we could take what the world was giving)
We don't have tomorrow (There's no tomorrow here, there's only love and the time to chase it)
But we had yesterday (But yesterday's gone my love, there's only now and it's time to face it)
Touch me in the morning

My Daughter
Lyrics | Music: Buddy Hackett
Performed By: Sandy Hackett
With my daughter’s arm on mine
We walk by the waiting line
The sun shines through all the clouds today
People don’t hear a word they say
But the world is paradise
Cause my angel looks so nice
Her eyes, her lips and her button nose
Dressed in her wedding clothes
When she smiles I hear laughter
When she laughs I hear bells
A man says their married
This moment has me in its spell
I look once more and her eyes meet mine
I’m sharing her love for the very first time
And I’m left with just my dreams
Of her aches her pains her teens
And this old man smiles
And this old man smiles
Cause a young man has taken my place.

22 years ago, my mom wrote this
song (with my dad) and made this video
for my 1st birthday.
Today, I wrote a few verses
in response for her birthday
Day 103 of writing a song every day.
I wouldn’t be who I am today without
@LisaDawnMiller. Happy Birthday Mom.
I love you forever.
Someday I'll come across your things
And find this little book
The pages torn, the edges worn
Adventures that we took
And on those pages, I will see
Your smile and your tears
I'll remember all we shared
The laughter and the fears
Until then
I'll hold you in my arms
Someday you are gonna want to fly
But until then
Time is passing by
So let me hold you close again
Until then
When all the world is certain
That the hill's too tall to climb
You never fail to blaze a trail
You do it all the time
Now I believe in my dreams
The ones you helped me see
And I climb every mountain
Knowing you believe in me
Until then (If I could go back then)
I'll hold you in my arms
(And hold you a little longer)
Someday you are gonna want to fly
(Before you taught me how to fly)
But until then
(If I could go back then)
Time is passing by
(Before the speed of time got stronger)
So let me hold you close again
(I'd hold you close again)
Until then
(From now until then)
Today I came across your things
And found this little book
A memory of my deepest love
Everywhere I look
And I recall the days I thought
I couldn't make it through
Always somehow seem to turn a page
When I'm with you
Until then
I'll hold you in my arms
(Before you held me in your arms)
Someday we will have to say goodbye
(But someday is not today)
And once again
Time will pass us by
So think about us now and then
(But "then" is not too far away)
Let me hold you close again
(You showed me love is meant to stay)
Until then

No more hesitating 'cause

Like a long lonely stream
I keep runnin' towards a dream
Movin' on, movin' on
Like a branch on a tree
I keep reaching to be free
Movin' on, movin' on
'Cause there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for everyone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
Theres' a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Got to find me a place in the sun
Like an old dusty road
I get weary from the load
Movin' on, movin' on
Like this tired troubled earth
I've been rollin' since my birth
Movin' on, movin' on
'Cause there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for everyone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
Theres' a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Gotta find me a place in the sun

Hey lady - you lady
'Cursin at your life
You're a discontented mother
And a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about
The things you'll never do
But I wish someone had to talked to me
Like I want to talk to you
I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacher man
And we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces
Because I had to be free
I've been to paradise
But I've never been to me
Please lady - please lady
Don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you
Why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me
Still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part
Of a weary heart
That has lived a million lies
I've been to Nice and the Isle of Greece
While I sipped champagne on a yacht
Moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
And showed 'em what I got
I've been undressed by kings
And I've seen some things that a woman ain't s'pposed to see
I've been to paradise
But never been to me
(spoken)
Hey... you know what paradise is?
It's a lie... a fantasy recreated by people and places as you'd like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding
And it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth
That's love...
I've even been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete
But I took the sweet life and never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I spent my life exploring
The subtle whoring that cost too much to be free
Hey lady...
I've been to paradise
But I've never been to me
It's My Turn to Fly (Ad Edit)

It's my turn to fly
But will I find my way
To the place where I belong
It's time to say goodbye
To yesterday
The truth has been here all along
What is this force calling me
Will life reveal it
'Cause I can feel it now
But how will I know
The time to let go
And just let wind carry me
I can feel it!
I can feel I'm free - fly away (It's my turn to fly today)
Free to believe that someday I will finally belong (It's my turn to be myself and never question why)
Just fly
Through the sky (It's my turn to try)
I won't apologize for who I am (I won't look back)
'Cause it's my turn to fly (It's time for me to fly)
Somewhere there is light
If I believe in me
Can these dreams I have take flight
There is a force calling me
Will life reveal it
'Cause I can feel it now
But how will I know
The time to let go
And just let wind carry me
I can feel it
I can feel I'm free - fly away (It's my turn to fly today)
Free to believe that someday I will finally belong (It's my turn to be myself and never question why)
Just fly
Through the sky (It's my turn to try)
I won't apologize for who I am (I won't look back)
'Cause it's my turn to fly
Now I know
It's time to let go
I am free to dream
And fly beyond where I can see
Fly away (It's my turn to fly today)
'Cause I believe that someday I will finally belong (It's my turn to be myself and never question why)
If I fly
Through the sky (It's my turn to try)
I won't apologize for who I am (I won't look back)
'Cause it's my turn to fly
Stand Together (Ad Edit 2)

If they try to stop you
Remember that together
There is nothing we can't do (Nothing we can't do)
If they try to break you
You'd call upon what's real and strong
And THEY KNOW that it's true (Call upon what's REAL AND STRONG)
Do more than try
WIN it!
And we defy
LIVE it!
It's time to fly
DREAM it!
Beyond the sky
DO it!
STAND together
And we will save tomorrow
DREAM together
Let's take away the sorrow
Achieving and believing
That's where we BEGIN!!
Put your hands together
We are here to WIN!!
Break it down...
I can feel the sun shine
We're here to say, a better way
Is something we define (Find a better way)
Knowing what we're made of
We'll never lose and we can choose
To always fight for love (We will always FIGHT FOR LOVE!!)
We'll find a way
DO it!
We're here to say
GIVE it!
A better day
DREAM it!
Will come and stay!!!
LIVE it!
STAND together
The world needs more compassion
SING together
And you will feel the passion
Nothin's gonna stop us
We'll do more than try
Come and feel the rhythm
Cause' it is time to fly
STAND together
And we will save tomorrow
DREAM together
Let's take away the sorrow
Achieving and believing
That's where we BEGIN!!
Put your hands together
We are here to WIN!!!
Can't We Try
Lyrics: Ron Miller
Music: Kenny Hirsch
Performed By: David DeCosta, Lisa Dawn Miller
Come, lay your head on my heart
Soon we'll be apart
Stay here till the touch of morning
I'm glad we're leaving as friends
Baby, by the way
I forgot to say
Can't we try
Love was never born to say goodbye
Just another helpless fool
In love is what I am
But I don't give a damn
Sorry, I forgot myself
I guess that I'm just not myself
I know that we're not 'spposed to cry
And love is 'spposed to die
When people get to know each other
In case I don't see you again
I really wish you well
Baby, this is hell
Can't we try
Let's go back to yesterday and lie
Touch me one more time
And make me feel that I'm alive
And if we don't survive
At least we'll have a moment here
With honest pain and tears
Then say goodbye
Come lay your head down on my heart
The morning sun will lead you
You know that I don't need you
We can't go back to yesterday
Go away
God, I wish you'd stay
Can't we try
Love was never born to say goodbye
Just another helpless fool
In love is what I am
But I don't give a damn
Once before I set you free
I've got to have you close to me and try
Let's go back to yesterday and lie
Touch me one more time
And make me feel that I'm alive
And if we don't survive
We can end like we began
And even though it's over
Can't we try
Love was never born to say goodbye
Just another helpless fool
In love is what I am
But I don't give a damn
Wasn't I A Good Time
Lyrics: Ron Miller
Music: Kenny Hirsch
Performed By: Lisa Dawn Miller
Love has seasons, many reasons
Why it heals then hurts us all
Summer was so easy
Now we have to face the fall
But wasn't I a good time baby
Wasn't I the best
Wasn't I the party, though my heart was just a guest
Do you still recall the passion
Even though I'm out of fashion
Wasn't I a real good time
Incidentally, take me gently
To where the pleasure meets the pain
Walk away in silence
You can let your eyes explain
Wasn't I a good time baby
Didn't I have style
Everything you needed from a woman to a child
I was the complete collection
Worn-out jeans to sheer perfection
Wasn't I a real good time
Give me back my pride before you go
Let's pretend it's me who said the party's over
Wasn't I a good time baby
Wasn't I the best
Wasn't I the party, though my heart was just a guest
Do you still recall the passion
Even though I'm out of fashion
Wasn't I a real good time
Wasn't I a real good time
I'm gonna miss you
Really miss you
I'm gonna miss you
Now that you're gone
I'm gonna hold on
To the good times
And I'll remember
Now that you're gone
Nothing lasts forever
Life's not always fair
But at least we had some time
Time to laugh
Time to care
And now I'll miss you
Really miss you
I'm gonna miss you
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
