Back in the day the cats were cool
Louis and Fats were really swingin'
Monk had a groove, and Sonny was smooth
Like the silky sound of Ella singin'
Count to four, Basie's boys would play
Blowin' cheek to cheek with Dizzy
When Billie crooned Ain't no Holiday
The Bird would blow and have them in a tizzy
They all paved the way, for the music that play
They showed us how to lay it on the backside
Breakin' down the walls, they found another way
and the music still lives on
You gotta, lay back
You got to lay it back
I'm talkin, way back
You gotta just lay it back
To all the cats back in the day
It's all about groovin your way
Just lay it back
With the birth of the cool things began to change
Miles was king his notes were steamy
Hampton had a vibe, ain't talkin no jive
Sarah Vaughan was really very dreamy
Herbie and Chick their fingers were slick
To ride the Coltrane was a slice of heaven
Mel could scat, he had a nack
Singin' F sharp nine raised eleven
They showed us how to see, new possibilities
Everybody lay it on the back side
Along every lonely mile, they stayed true to the style
And the music, still lives on
You gotta, lay back
You got to lay it back
I'm talkin, way back
You gotta just lay it back
To all the cats back in the day
It's all about groovin your way
Just lay it back
Lay back
Just lay it back
Lay back
Gotta lay it back
Just do it, get to it
Feel the rhythm movin through ya
Just lay it back
Breakin down the walls, they found another way
And the music still lives
Still live on
Lay it way back
Lay it back
I'm talkin, way back
You gotta just lay it back
To all the cats back in the day
Its all about groovin your way
Just lay it back
Here's how we lay back

A Better Place

What if the sky were always blue
What if a tear never fell on you
What if the music played
All night and all day
Would the world be a better place
What if the flowers always bloomed
What if the choice were up to you
Whether to wonder why
To laugh or cry
Would the world be a better place
In a dream
The light you see
Shines when your eyes are closed
Live your life
With open eyes
Let true light
Fill your soul
If you could in every way
Live all your dreams in just one day
Would it be just as bright as the perfect light
Would the world be a better place
In a dream
The light you see
Shines when your eyes are closed
Live your life
With open eyes
Let true light
Fill your soul
If you could in every way
Live all your dreams in just one day
Would it be just as bright as the perfect light
Would the world
Or would it be such a sight to see
Would the world be a better place

The grass is never greener
on the other side of the fence
It just seems that way
At the end of every rainbow
there's just colors
To brighten the day
Nothing is impossible
Nothing at all
'Cept everything you never try
One day at a time
Good things
Good things come to those who wait
(You've got)
You've got just what it takes
(Right there)
Right there in the palm of your hand
(Just give)
Just give a little squeeze
If you've gotta lotta lemons
Just make lemonade
Every dark cloud has a silver lining
Just look behind the grey
Ya gotta lotta lemons
Make lemonade
A lotta lemons make really good lemonade
A little cup of something
is better than nothing
Is it half empty or full
Did you know that when it rains
It really only pours sometimes
You can do anything
That you put your mind to
Reach up and touch the sky
All you gotta do
Take a chance
Shake it up and roll the dice
You've got what it takes
In the palm of your hand
Oh, just give a little squeeze
If you've gotta lotta lemons
Just make lemonade
Every dark cloud has a silver lining
Just look behind the grey
Ya gotta lotta lemons
Make lemonade
A lotta lemons make really good lemonade
Really good lemonade
Really good lemonade
Really good lemonade
If you've got
Got a lot
Gotta lotta lemons
If you've got
Got a lot
Gotta lotta lemons
If you've got
Got a lot
Gotta lotta lemons
A lotta lemons make
Mm...Really good
Really good lemonade
Uh huh

Perfect Day
Music and Lyrics by Kevin Kunz
Arranged by Kevin Kunz

No hellos
No goodbyes
The perfect day in our paradise
The only voice we hear
Drifts down from heaven
Whispering our names
For on this perfect day
The sounds of gentle rain
caress your name
No storm can shade your glow
Or hide your beauty
You just take my breathe away
You are the heart of my perfect day
You are candle that lights my way
In every song is your precious name
You are the start
Your the end
Of my perfect day
For in this moments time
Our hearts meet in a silent rhyme
(Silent rhyme)
You see me for who I am
Not who I was
Or what I used to be
You are the heart of my perfect day
You are candle that lights my way
In every song is your precious name
You are the start
Your the end
Of my perfect day
Eyes of the world can not see us
Troubles of life will not bind our way
From the rise to the setting of the sun
Till this day turns night
And back again
You are the heart of my perfect day
You are candle that lights my way
In every song is your precious name
You are the start
Your the end
Of my perfect day
You are the candle that lights my way
In every song is your precious name
You are start
And your the end
You are the heart of my perfect day

Walk the Straighter Road
Music and Lyrics by Kevin Kunz
Arranged by Kelly Kunz

When hope is gone
And you stand before the open door
Hear the voice that calls to you
To walk the straighter road
When all is lost
Just hold the hand that lifts your load
Trust the one thats guiding you
And walk the straighter road
Voices say to look within
For the measure of a man
But lies live inside us
Holding truth in their hand
The only voice unwavering
Guides you through the door
To an everlasting love
And hope
A secret bathes in heaven's light
Reveals a troubled soul
Offers hope to every life
To walk the straighter road
When dreams seem far
Taste where living waters flow
Along the straighter road
Voices say to look within
For the measure of a man
But lies live inside us
Holding truth in their hand
The only light unwavering
Shines through the door
To an everlasting love
And hope
A secret bathed in heaven's light
Reveals a troubled soul
And offers hope in darkest night
To walk the straighter
Walk the straighter
To walk the straighter road
