Be With You

Be With You

(Words and Music by Arnold Schmidt & Debbie Dragna)

Verse 1

You remember the day we met

The rain was pouring we were soaking wet

Running for shelter from the storm

I tripped and fell right into your arms

Bridge 1

Now every time I see your face

I can hardly sleep at night

When you're not by my side

I know, yes I know

Chorus

I just want to be with you

I just want to be with you

Feel your touch and see you smile

I just wanna be with you

I wanna be with you

Verse 2

I remember the day we met

It didn't really happen quite like that

I found you face down in the mud

and had to stop and help you up

Bridge 2

When I close my eyes I can see your face

Shining like a star

Without you I'm incomplete

I know, yes I know

Chorus

I just want to be with you

I just want to be with you

Feel your touch and see you smile

I just wanna be with you

I wanna be with you


Let’s Take a Walk

Let's Take A Walk Together

(Words and Music by Arnold Schmidt & Debbie Dragna)

Johnny and Jane grew up together

Two houses by the old oak tree

Riding the bus to school each day

Year after year

Johnny and Jane went to prom together

Danced away the night

By the light of the moon, shared a kiss

Under the old oak tree

Chorus:

Let's take a walk - together

Down the road of life - forever

Let's take a walk - together

Just you and I

Just you and I

Johnny and Jane went away together

Seeking out their dreams

When they came home they tied the knot

The next step on their path

Johnny and Jane bought a house together

Next to the old oak tree

They had two kids and settled down

Happy as can be

Chorus:

Let's take a walk - together

Down the road of life - forever

Let's take a walk - together

Just you and I

Just you and I

Bridge: (not in Radio Edit version)

Let us all join hands together

Celebrate this Life

Dance and Sing the Night Away

Until the morning light

Until the morning light

Until the morning light

Chorus:

Let's take a walk - together

Down the road of life - forever

Let's take a walk - together

Just you and I

Just you and I

Louisiana Rain

(Words and Music by Arnold Schmidt & Debbie Dragna)

I miss the Louisiana Rain

Beating down on the old metal roof

Drinking wine, playing cards

Lazy Sundays out on the porch

Children Playing without care

This is where my soul finds peace

Life can get weary, when you're out on the road

Big City Lights, shining all bright

Life's moving fast and there's no time to rest

Looking forward to coming back home

Cypress Trees and that old front porch

Jeremiah

Jeremiah

(Words and Music by Arnold Schmidt & Debbie Dragna)

Verse 1

Jeremiah was a little ant

How he wished

to be a big ole elephant

Bridge 1

His wish came true, but it turned out wrong

His life turned upside down

Wandered far away from home

Fell down the rabbit hole

Verse 2

A traveling circus took him in,  It seemed so wonderful

He thought he'd made new friends

Bridge 2

Then they whipped him with a hook

Taught him dirty tricks

Shackled him and locked him up

Tried to break his will

Chorus

Learn to love the skin you're in, Love to be yourself

Learn to love the skin you're in, Find what makes you strong

Verse 3

Jeremiah planned his escape, had to get out

of the mess he had made

Bridge 3

They tried to keep him, he made it out

Back down the rabbit hole

Back an ant, he figured out

It's what's inside that counts

Chorus

Learn to love the skin you're in, Love to be yourself

Learn to love the skin you're in, Find what makes you strong

Solo

Chorus

Learn to love the skin you're in, Love to be yourself

Learn to love the skin you're in, Find what makes you strong


Simple Things

Simple Things

(Words and Music by Arnold Schmidt & Debbie Dragna)

 

Verse 1

Daddy told me when I was just a little child

To always see the wonder in ordinary things

The miracles in life you seek

They're right before your eyes

A Puppy's Kiss

A Baby's Laugh

A Sweet Sunrise

Chorus

It's the simple things in life, that make us happy

It's the simple things in life, that make us smile

It's the simple things in life, that make us happy

It's the simple things in life, that make us smile

Verse 2

Momma taught me growing up

To treasure all my friends

Fancy cars and fancy trips

Can't buy you happiness

She said everything I own is from the dollar store

But your daddy loves me

And we have you that is all we need

Chorus

It's the simple things in life, that make us happy

It's the simple things in life, that make us smile

It's the simple things in life, that make us happy

It's the simple things in life that make us smile

Bridge

When did I stop enjoying simple things

When did I lose my wonder of the world

And if I could just be that innocent again

I'd treasure what my Mom and Daddy said

Solo

Chorus

It's the simple things in life, that make us happy

It's the simple things in life, that make us smile

It's the simple things in life, that make us happy

It's the simple things in life, that make us smile


New Orleans Shuffle

New Orleans Shuffle

(Words and Music by Arnold Schmidt & Debbie Dragna)

My back is breaking and My Arms are Weak

I am so damn tired, can't even fall asleep

You wanna know why?

I did the New Orleans Shuffle all night long

I did the New Orleans Shuffle, dance away the night 'till dawn

 

It all started out with Ole Willie’s Band

Swinging on Bourbon, playing Dixie Land

The first drink, the first dance and Then It Went On

I did the New Orleans Shuffle all night long

I did the New Orleans Shuffle, dance away the night 'till dawn

You wanna know how?

Take two steps to the right - right foot back and forth

Take two steps to the left - now left foot back and forth

Throw your hands up in the air, And let it all out

Sashay to the right - Move your hips

Sashay to the left

Everybody Shuffle Dance

Chorus

Let's do the New Orleans Shuffle All Night Long

Let's do the New Orleans Shuffle All Night Long

Let's do the New Orleans Till We Can't Go on

Let's do the New Orleans Shuffle All Night Long

Let’s do the New Orleans Shuffle, dance away the night 'till dawn

Solos

 

Chorus

Let's do the New Orleans Shuffle All Night Long

Let's do the New Orleans Shuffle All Night Long

Let's do the New Orleans Till We Can't Go on

Let's do the New Orleans Shuffle All Night Long 

Let’s do the New Orleans Shuffle, dance away the night 'till dawn

My back is breaking and My Arms are Weak

I am so damn tired, can't even fall asleep

You wanna know why?

I did the New Orleans Shuffle all night long

I did the New Orleans Shuffle, dance away the night 'till dawn
