Three Lyrics


selected by Elaine



Dino was someone who I turned to when life seemed to getting me down.   He is gone now, but his music lives on.  I hope that you will click on the songs, like "Gone Again", "Children of the Sun" and others.   Dino, like me, was an 'outsider' and understood the loneliness of life and how to communicate the beauty that could be found.   Please listen and take heart.   http://www.dinovalenti.com/gettogether.htm   Love and peace,   Elaine



Everything Is Gonna Be OK

by Dino Valenti

Lately I've been walkin' on a new side of town

New kind of doin' and my mind's all around

It's a new kind of somthing that I just found

Everything's gonna be OK

 

Bright golden feathers and gossimer wings

Moondrops and leathers and fairy tale things

Silver spun angels smile dancin' in rain

Everything's gonna be OK

Lilacs and lillies and clover is green

Treasures of tapestries woven between

These are the traces of such to be seen

Everything's OK now

Summer white raindrops and winter is pale

Autumn makes magick and springtime is frail

And the song in my heart is the song on my trail

Everything's OK now, it's OK now

'Bout this time of evenin' with the sun goin' down

There's a new kind of music I been hearin' all around

It's a lucky charm, and it's mornin' bound

Everything's gonna be OK, it's OK babe,

It's gonna be OK now, it's OK...ay... ay...babe




Gone Again

by Dino Valenti

 

You ask me why my mind goes to wanderin

And how can I be so many people at one time

I try to tell you, but my words can't find the way

All I can tell you, please believe me, I really understand

 

 

It goes round after round after round, I'm gone again

 

My mind gets lonely and my heart starts to ramblin

With my sweet life my crazy heart starts to gambin

The strangest of winds blow in my mind, stealin my time

 There I go again

 

I go round after round after round, I'm gone again

 

Some people tell me they can hold on forever, I don't know, I don't know

I don't know if i could ever hold on forever

Letting go, letting go, feels so groovy now ohhhh, feels so groovy now

 

 

Sweet summer falls on my mind like the dawning

I watch the witches casting spells in the morning

seems the stranger the brewing, the sweeter the brew

To know what you're doing, ohh oh oh, it's so hard to do

 

It goes round after round after round, I'm gone again

 

Some people tell me baby I can maintain forever, I don't know, I don't know

I don't think that I could ever hold on to anything forever

Letting go, it feels so groovy now ohhhh, feels so groovy now

 

I see a lady my crazy heart starts to question

Kindly lay by me awhile and love this one

Then my sweet life comes dancin by, takes me by my hand

The sweetest romancin to the strains of never never land

 

And I go round after round after round, I'm gone again







Children Of The Sun

 

Let me pull your coat my friend...the game you play you'll never win.

It's not a game that's played by rules...It's made by men to be played by fools.

Solitude is that's all you'll gain...life is what you lose my friend.

You better stop! Take a look around, somebody can see you.

You feel that life is passing by, you laugh to laugh and you end up cryin.

All the others that you see, aren't half as real as they could be.

You hear them sayin it's all a game, wonder if you're goin insane.

You better stop! Take a look around, I'm sure somebody loves you.

Ah come with me, take the lead, know you're mind.

There's no time to weep for those you'll have to leave behind.

Know as the river's run, you are children of the sun.

Live for love and life alone, there's no time to own anybody.

You go along with what you see, still you know you're not free.

You say of course I'm just one man, if they can't change it no one man can.

Yet it should be plain to see, they are they and we are we,

and hasn't anybody told youbaby how much we need you?

Come away, take the lead, know you're mind.

There's no time , I wouldn't lie to you baby, there's just no time.

Know as the river's run, you are children of the sun.

Live for love and life alone, there's no time here to own anybody .

You think you can fool em all, you say that life's a cherry ball.

Everything is alright, and nothin's got ya uptight.

Yet alone awake at night you're lyin, you think nobody hears you cryin.

You better stop! Take a look around, baby I always hear you.

Come with me, take the lead, know you're mind.

There's no time to weep for those who'd rather sleep behind.

Know as the river's run, you are children of the sun.

Live for love and life alone, there's no time in your mind to own anybody.

There will be those who try to put you down, they'll say you don't know you're way around.

They'll tell you that you're not a gas, tell their girlfriends you ain't got no class.

Do everything that they can do, to try get you thinking there's something radically wrong with

you better stop! Take a look around, honey they got all the problems.

Come away, take the lead, know you're mind.

There's no time baby to weep for those who'd obviously rather sleep behind.

Know as the river's run, you are children of the sun.

Live for love and life alone, there's no time to spend bendin you'r mind,

Tryin to find some way to own anybody.
