Songs by Rooty Van Overen

VERSE 1

You are me and I am you,
We are one, we are two,
I am desert, you are rain,
With a touch, I’m born again.

Carry on, restless waters,
Travel on, gather my heart,
Know my thoughts will be with you,
Anywhere you are.

REFRAIN

Anywhere you are.

VERSE 2

You are sea and I am sand,
We’re children of the wind,
When we dance around the moon,
It breezes all afternoon.

Sail on, restless waters,
Travel on, carry my heart,
Know by love you’re surrounded,
Anywhere you are.

REFRAIN

Anywhere you are.

BRIDGE

And my friend, I do love you,
We’re really never apart,
‘Cause you are me and I am you,
Anywhere we are.

REFRAIN

Anywhere we are.

VERSE 1

Have you met Penny,
She’s always been my girl,
Rough and ready,
In pigtails or in curls.
She’s an extraordinary girl,
She likes to put on aires,
and paint the town,
You must have met Penny,
She really gets around.

But she makes me go crazy,
When I just turn around and she’s gone,
So I hold her while I have her,
There’s just no way to settle her down.

CHORUS

Penny won’t laugh, and she don’t cry,
She’s not an ordinary girl,
She doesn’t dream, and she won’t smile,
She’s not an ordinary girl.

VERSE 2

Have you met Penny,
She’s always quite a thrill,
From bottom to top,
She’ll take you around the world,
She’s an extraordinary girl,
She’s got a tender touch and a heart of gold.

But she’ll make you go crazy.
There’s just no way to settle her down,
And the more you try to tame her,
The more she’ll keep on fooling around.

CHORUS

Penny won’t laugh, and she don’t cry,
She’s not an ordinary girl,
She doesn’t dream, and she won’t smile,
She’s not an ordinary girl.

BRIDGE

Penny, Penny,
She’s all around
Penny, Penny,
And she can sure get down,
Oooh Penny, you’re the toast of the town
Penny, Penny,
Stop your fooling around

CHORUS

Penny won’t laugh, and she don’t cry,
She’s not an ordinary girl,
She doesn’t dream, and she won’t smile,
She’s not an ordinary girl.

VERSE 1

Gather all ye children of Mother Earth to pray,
Celebrate the story of a babe born this day,
Cradled in straw were mother and child,
No crib for the baby who in a manger lie.

VERSE 2

Heaven showed a beacon a star up in the sky,
To shine over Bethlehem and wash the desert bright,
Wise men and kings were drawn by the light,
Bearing gifts of homage and faith upon this night.

CHORUS 1

To bring peace on this Christmas,
To give Him hope on this Christmas,
To show love on this Christmas,
To let Him know on this Christmas a savior is born.

VERSE 3

Over many nations a cry went o’er the land,
The true king has risen and gentle is his hand,
The crown prince of peace and champion of love,
With passion and grace and strength from above.

CHORUS 2

To bring peace on this Christmas,
To give us hope on this Christmas,
To show love on this Christmas,
To let us know on this Christmas a savior is born.

VERSE 4

Fire up the yule log to stave the winter’s chill,
There’s snow on the hillside, wildlife is still,
Lay out some holly and hang the mistletoe,
Send the gift of friendship to everyone you know.

CHORUS 3

And bring peace on this Christmas,
And give hope on this Christmas,
And show love on this Christmas,
And let us know on this Christmas our savior is born.
