Tell Me More 05:22
Tell Me More Tell me more of the story daddy Read to me again Tell me of the castles Tell me of the kingdom Tell me of the hero Rescuing princesses Full of valour, in their armour Saving us from fiery dragons Please just go to sleep Just close your eyes, try counting sheep You’ll be grumpy in the morning Lie down close your eyes Tell me of the castles Tell me of the kingdom Tell me of the heroes Rescuing princesses Full of valour, in their armour Saving us from fiery dragons Go to sleep my darling Rest your pretty head No! Tell me more of the story daddy I need to know what happens next Read to me and let us live in this world of magic Where dreams and fantasies come true Oh please let’s stay here together You know I’d love to child but we can’t stay here together Me and you, let’s just stay here together till morning When morning comes Tell me of the stories in your dreams

Great Place to Hide Alright kids, it’s just me and you While mummy’s away, what shall we do? I’ve an idea, let’s play hide and seek I promise to play fair, make sure I won’t cheat I’ll close my eyes and count to a hundred While you find a good place to hide Don’t make it easy for daddy to find you 3,2,1, ready or not here I come Here I come, out to find you, In the lounge in the kitchen I’m closing in, on you children, you can’t hide out much longer What’s that I see there, your hand round the curtain Found you, I’ve found you, I’ve found you, a great place to hide Wow, I miss this now they have gone And all grown up and moved out the house It was much simpler then You knew where you were, your job was a father One monkey down, just another to find The search will be easy with you now to help me Where can he be, your little baby brother? Follow me quietly and maybe we’ll find him upstairs Here we come, out to find you In your room, in the bathroom We’re closing in, on you monkey You can’t hide out much longer What’s that we hear now a noise from the cupboard Found you, we found you, how did you fit in that space? Now my love, it’s just me and you It’s an empty nest, what shall we do? I’ve an idea, let’s play hide and seek I promise to play fair and surely won’t cheat

Time for a Song Tuesday Night and We’re at home Cold outside but the heatings on Kids are safely home from school Dinner is over, and no jobs to do Why don’t you come here and sit next to me? Have you got time for a song? Your homework is done and the evening is here Not tonight dad cheers Is it too late for lullabies? Listening quietly by my side Can’t we still capture these magical moments Just me and you right now? Is it too late for lullabies? Has innocence just fled you eyes? Are you too old for hugging and holding? Too old for lullabies? It’s not you it’s me I need some company Where has that time gone? Too old for a song Is it too late for lullabies? It’s in a look you can’t disguise Now you’re getting older, you don’t need my shoulder It’s too late for lullabies Over for lullabies Just let me dry my eyes

Flown Away 05:10
Flown Away Here we go, time for change Finally that time, that we knew would come To pack your things and say goodbye Spread your wings out wide and meet the world OK, what now? And what about us? It’s going to feel lonely with an empty house I hope they are are happy, I hope they’ll keep in touch Tell me more of the life you’re living I need to know what happens next Speak to me, tell me more of your stories children Will your dreams and fantasies come true? I wish we could stay here together You know we love you, but we can’t stay here forever Flown Away Flown Away Flown Away Flown Away Don’t be strangers
