Lyrics to the CD Let Go! (© 2010 Carol Sokoloff)

Let Go!
(words & music Carol Sokoloff, SOCAN)

Let go, let love put the plan together
We don’t have to worry ’bout a thing.
It’s not our job, the angels do it better
All we have to do is just sing.

All is working in our favour,
Every little thing is going fine.
So every moment let us savour,
Life is a banquet, let’s dine!

To live, to love – is all that really matters
We don’t have to worry ’bout a thing.
Sit back, relax –
fill your heart with laughter.
Take life easy, keep it breezy – just sing,
Take life easy, keep it breezy – just sing.


Summer Nights
(words & music Carol Sokoloff, SOCAN)

The day is leaving
and night is falling softly on the land
while twilight’s stealing over the sands
the love that we once knew
perhaps is something of the past
whose memory is always in my heart,
reminding me of summer nights
with you, my love,
with you beneath the stars.

The day is breaking
as silently and sweetly as a song
and my heart’s aching
for love that is gone.
If only you would come to me
today, my summer love,
if only we could love as once before;
To hold you close and dream with you
the long night through,
with you beneath the stars.


Winter Moon
(words & music Carol Sokoloff, SOCAN)

The night was cold, but the stars were bright
as I walked home a pale moon rose in the sky,
spreading a silvery, magical light everywhere –
if only you were there, this winter moon to share.

Winter moon, sailing in a velvet sky;
stardust tune, drifting on the frosty night.
Time for two loving hearts to cling so tight –
Where are you, to share this lovely winter moon?

Silent stars dancing with a magic light
in your arms, everything would be alright.
Loving hearts warm even the coldest night –
Where are you, to share this lovely winter moon?

If only you would come to me now
your smile would light the way
out of the depths of the darkest night
we’d turn it into day.

Winter moon, here’s a prayer for your sweet light
Lovers soon to embrace by silver light.
May this tune, draw my love this very night,
swift and true, to share this lovely winter moon.


Don't Give Up (inspired by Sheila Jordan)
(words & music Carol Sokoloff, SOCAN)

Don’t give up, things got to turn around someday
look for the silver lining when the clouds roll by.
Strut your stuff. Do what you love it will be fine,
there’s bound to be some sunshine in the gloomy sky.

Just when you think the day is lost the tide may turn
And if your stormy heart is tossed at least you’ll learn
to be strong.

So just go on, singing the song only you can
Follow the rainbow when the skies are grey,
maybe tomorrow’s going to be the day
that everything is going to turn your way again.


Fly Away
(words & music Carol Sokoloff, SOCAN)

This is the perfect moment,
this is the special day.
Finally we’re together,
this is our time to play.
Let the music soar,
let the spirit dance.
Let the ocean roar,
I’m living for the chance
to fly away,
away on the wings of sound,
we’ll fly away,
reach and touch a star
keeping both feet on the ground.


A Little Love
words & music Carol Sokoloff, SOCAN

A little love can make you happy
a little smile can light your way
A little tune and you’ll keep singing
all of the night and half of the day.

A little joy in every moment
helps to chase the blues away,
A little sunshine on the mountain
Opening up and showing us the way

To the stars and planets in their spiral dance
Call it love, or if you must, call it chance.

And if by chance we come together
A little romance suits me fine
A little love can make you happy
Here in my heart there’s music all the time,
And honey I guess I’m hoping
you’ll share mine.


 

 

A Moment for Peace
(words & music Carol Sokoloff, SOCAN)

One love, one world, one heart, one soul;
One truth, one God, one source, one goal
Two eyes to see, two arms to hold
You close to me, my love.

One breath of peace for this sad world,
one moment’s rest from busy-ness
to follow dreams and melodies
of love, with you, my love.

With peace inside, with love to share
we’ll find a way to show we care.

One heart that’s true, one song to sing
and all the joy that children bring,
That’s all we need to live in peace,
This world could be a garden so sweet,
If only we take a moment for peace.


Follow the Footprints

(an adaptation of Footprints by Wayne Shorter,
with words by Carol Sokoloff)

Follow the footprints wherever they may lead
You never know but you follow anyway
it’s all about the journey,
rising and falling like waves dancing on the sea.

And in the morning we walk beside the ocean,
quietly talking just as the sun is rising over the horizon
lighting the footprints we leave laughing on the beach.

And in the evening we walk beside the ocean,
quietly speaking just as the sun is sinking under the horizon
lighting the footprints we leave laughing on the beach.

Follow the footprints wherever they may lead
You never know but you follow anyway
it’s all about the journey,
rising and falling like waves dancing on the sea.
rising and falling like waves dancing on the sea.

Follow the footprints wherever they me lead.


If You Have a Song

words & music Carol Sokoloff, SOCAN

If you have a song you like to sing
it can get you through the hardest thing
so lift your voice and let your heart take wing today
it’s the easy way to fly above the troubles that rise
from time to time in life.

Music is a kind of magic ring
miracles can happen when you sing
it’s very simple and it doesn’t cost a thing
so put a song in your heart and start each day
the musical way and see what life brings!


I Had No Idea
words & music Carol Sokoloff, SOCAN

These stars are shining on us all,
this moon is rising everywhere.
This night could be the one for us,
this love could be the kind that’s rare.

I had no idea that I could fall so hard
and never touch the ground
and I had no idea that I was lost
until the day you found me.

These stars are shining on us all,
this moon is rising everywhere.
This night could be the one for us,
this love could be the kind that’s rare.

I had no idea that I could find someone
to make might life so sweet.
Oh I had no idea but now I see
this night, these stars,
this moon, your eyes
and my heart know’s love’s the right idea.


Moon and Sand and Love
words & music Carol Sokoloff, SOCAN

Moon and sand and love, stars and sea and sky
opening above, to a world of magic.
Music in the air, colours everywhere
happiness to share, if we only seize the moment.

Life can be sweet, life can be
everything we want it to be, wait and see
you and me, right here in the sand
take my hand and dance with me
romance with me.

Moon and sand and love, stars and sea and you,
when the night is through
will your kisses be a memory?
Or come the break of day
will romance find a way,
and though the moon is gone, love lives on.
