Song lyrics With Jim Messina Sittin' In (1971) People smile and tell me I'm the lucky one.And we've only just begun,Think I'm gonna have a son.He will be like she and me, as free as a dove,Conceived in love.Sun is gonna shine above.And even though we ain't got money,I'm so in love with you, honey.And everything will bring a chain of love.And in the morning, when I rise,You bring a tear of joy to my eyes,And tell me everything is gonna be alright. "Danny's Song" So help me if you can, I've got to getBack to the house at Pooh Corner by one.You'd be surprised, there's so much to be done.Count all the bees in the hive,Chase all the clouds from the skyBack to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh. "House at Pooh Corner" Loggins and Messina (1972) Your mama don't danceAnd your daddy don't rock and roll.Your mama don't danceAnd your daddy don't rock and roll.When evening rolls aroundAnd it's time to go to town,Where do you goTo rock and roll? "Your Mama Don't Dance", written by Kenny Loggins and Jim Messina Full Sail (1973) I wanna sing you a love song.I wanna rock you in my arms all night long.I wanna get to know you.I wanna show you the peaceful feelin' of my home. "A Love Song", written by Kenny Loggins and Dona Lyn George Solo Nightwatch (1978) Now I know my life has given me more than memories.Day by dayWe can seeIn every moment there's a reason to carry on.Sweet love's showing us a heavenly light,I've never seen such a beautiful sight.See love glowing on us every night.I know forever we'll be doing it. "Whenever I Call You "Friend"", written by Kenny Logins and Melissa Manchester She had a place in his life,He never made her think twice.As he rises to her apology,Anybody else would surely know.He's watching her go.But what a fool believesHe seesNo wise man has the powerTo reason away.What seems to beIs always better than nothing,And nothing at all. "What a Fool Believes", written by Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald Keep the Fire (1979) You think that maybe it's over.Only if you want it to be.Are you gonna wait for a sign, your miracle?Stand up and fight.(This is it) Make no mistake where you are.(This is it) Your back's to the corner.(This is it) Don't be a fool anymore.(This is it) The waiting is over. "This Is It", written by Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald So keep the fire burning tonight,See just what comes into sight.Don't take forever,Take it through the night.And believe the sun will rise with the dawn.That's all you need to go on.But for tonight,Just keep the fire burning bright. "Keep the Fire", written by Kenny Loggins and Eva Ein Loggins Caddyshack soundtrack (1980) I'm alright,Nobody worry 'bout me.Why you got to gimme a fight?Can't you just let it be?I'm alright.Don't nobody worry 'bout me.You got to gimme a fight,Why don't you just let me be? "I'm Alright" High Adventure (1982) Live long enough, you're bound to findMoonshine'll make a man go blind.Never can tell what the brew will do,But there's times you wind up feelin' so fine.Some women seem to have a knack;They'll turn you on and leave you flat.Never can tell who's playin' for keepsSo tell me what's holding you backI know your heart can take it. "Don't Fight It", written by Kenny Loggins, Steve Perry, and Dean Pitchford I'm like the rain'Cause I like your thunder.I know we've learned to live togetherHere in the heartlight.Stand in the darkOh, oh, and I'll light a candleAnd then we'll dance it in the moonlightUntil the sunrise. "Welcome to Heartlight" Does anything last forever?I don't knowMaybe we're near the end.(So darlin' tell me)So darlin', ohHow can we go on together?Now that we've grown apart, oh no.Well, the only way to startIs heart to heart. "Heart to Heart", written by Kenny Loggins, David Foster, and Michael McDonald Footloose soundtrack (1984) Been working so hard,I'm punching my card.Eight hours, for what?Oh, tell me what I got.I've got this feelingThat time's just holding me down.I'll hit the ceiling,Or else I'll tear up this town.So now I gotta cut loose,Footloose.Kick off the Sunday shoes.Please, Louise,Pull me off of my knees.Jack, get back,Come on before we crack.Lose your blues,Everybody cut footloose. "Footloose", written by Kenny Loggins and Dean Pitchford (I'm free!)Heaven helps the man who fights his fear.Love's the only thing that keeps me here.(I'm free!)You're the reason that I'm hanging on.My heart's staying where my heart belongs.(I'm free!) "I'm Free", written by Kenny Loggins and Dean Pitchford Top Gun soundtrack (1986) Revvin' up your engine,Listen to her howlin' roar.Metal under tension,Beggin' you to touch and go.Highway to the Danger Zone.Ride into the Danger Zone. "Danger Zone", written by Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock Bodies working overtime,It's man against man.And all that ever matters is, baby,Who's ahead in the game.Funny,But it's always the same.Playing,Playing with the boys.Staying,Playing with the boys. "Playing with the Boys", written by Kenny Loggins, Peter Wolf, and Ina Wolf Back to Avalon (1988) If time has taught me anythingYou've got to learn to be the ballAnd I can't keep from laughing at it allOh, I'm going nowI'm going all the waySooner or later gotta love somebodyI don't care how long it takesLike a shot to the heartI've got news for youI may not look so smartBut I'm nobody's fool. "Nobody's Fool", written by Kenny Loggins and Michael Towers Leap of Faith (1991) Where are the dreams that we once had?This is the time to bring them backWhat were the promisesCaught on the tips of our tongues?Do we forget or forgive?There's a whole other lifeWaiting to be lived whenOne day we're brave enoughTo talk with conviction of the heart.
