Sitting here forgotten like A book upon a shelf No one there to turn the page You're left to read yourself Alone to sit and wonder just how the story ends Cause no-one ever told you child You gotta be your own best friend
Sunny days cloudy days Always seem the same If love were made of clouds I Almost wish that it would rain Even when the skies are clear The weather's always blue Every day would be nice If I had Someone I could come home to
Love is it really love at all Or something that I heard love called Something that I heard love called
Now life can sometimes slip away And love can pass you by If only it had been another place another time Maybe there'll be someone who likes to see you smile Who will want to stay with you And be your friend for a little while Then wake up in the morning Feeling so alive Something you can hold on to Not a shadow by your side I guess that there'll be time to talk Of things that we've been through That special time when all is real To feel reborn when love is new
Love is it really love at all Or something that I heard love called Something that I heard love called
Then sundown comes around again You find yourself alone Wander through a sea of eyes but always on your own Was it really all you thought that it was suppose to be Or are you just another face In someone's fading memory
Love is it really love at all Or something that I heard love called Something that I heard love called
Just a smile sit down awhile with her feathers and her brandy we're just movin' how ya' doin' how ya' doin' daddy come on honey this one goes on mine
Pearl you know she could steal the show get ya' feelin' crazy get it on with you all night long and make you feel amazing
Rag Mamma rag ya' got me off my feet my heart just skipped a beat won't you rag Mamma rag ... Mamma
Feathers flyin', she lookin' fine she just feelin' dandy she got her man and she holdin' hands and she just called him ??Pappy?? and she can sing the blues right off your mind
Pearl you know she could steal the show if she gets the notion rockin' on with ya' all night long man, she got some locomotion
Rag Mamma rag kick away my blues I just kicked off my shoes won't you rag Mamma rag
Her eyes are wide she's runnin' scared was it something she was seeing but in a flash then it passed to somethin' she was needin' or was it something she was feeling at the time something she was feeling at the time

Florentine she's been around the world and back again A heart as light as wings made of sky, made of wind and things She keeps things you don't know She shows things you don't show She never wants to see you alone
Something in her smile tells you she will stay awhile Something in her style shines and sets the sun on fire Every time she's near is like music to your ears before you rise she waits inside your eyes
Chorus: If she were to say those words would you understand Wouldn't it be easier to let her take your hand Love's the song I sing Song to Florentine
Florentine she leaves a trail of misty make-believe You know she holds the key and you follow her to mysteries There's hidden things inside she leaves for you to find To unlock the road you must say please
Love's the song I sing Song to Florentine Love, love must be the song Song to Florentine
