I remember it all very well lookin\' back 
It was the summer I turned eighteen 
We lived in a one room, rundown shack 
On the outskirts of New Orleans 
We didn\'t have money for food or rent 
To say the least we were hard pressed 
Then Mama spent every last penny we had  
to buy me a dancin\' dress 
Mama washed and combed and curled my hair  
and she painted my eyes and lips  
then I stepped into a satin dancin\' dress  
that had a split on the side clean up to my hip 
It was red velvet trim and it fit me good 
Standin\' back from the lookin\' glass 
There stood a woman where a half grown kid had stood 
Chorus: 
She said  
Here\'s your one chance Fancy don\'t let me down 
Here\'s your one chance
Sunny lyrics

Sunny, s?lo con mirarte sale el sol,
Sunny, ni una sola nube entre tu y yo;
hoy empiezo a vivir, no me duele el dolor,
es que por fin me lleg? el amor,
esa es la verdad, te quiero.
Sunny, gracias por hacerme sonre?r;
Sunny, gracias por tus ganas de vivir,
por entender, por confiar,
por discutir, por perdonar,
por eso y mucho m?s, te q
 Fancy don\'t let me down 
 
Mama dabbled a little bit of perfume on my neck  
and she kissed my cheek 
Then I saw the tears wellin\' up in her  
troubled eyes when she started to speak 
She looked at a pitiful shack 
And then she looked at me and took a ragged breath 
She said your Pa\'s run off and I\'m real sick  
and the baby\'s gonna starve to death 
She handed me a heart shaped locket  
that said \"To thine own self be true\" 
And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl  
across the toe of my high heeled shoe 
It sounded like somebody else that was  
talkin\' askin\' Mama what do I do 
She said be nice to the gentlemen Fancy 
And they\'ll be nice to you 
 
Lord forgive me for what I do,  
but if you want out well it\'s up 
A Red Letter Day lyrics

Go to work and take your calls
Hang the fruits of your labour on the walls
Such precision and care
What does it matter if there's no one here to share
The flowers in the garden the wine
The "Waiting for Godot" and so much modern time?
All I want is what you want
I'm always waiting for a red letter day
The years perfecting a stance of 
to you 
Now don\'t let me down you better start movin\' uptown 
Well, that was the last time I saw my Ma 
The night I left that rickety shack 
The welfare people came and took the baby  
Mama died and I ain\'t been back 
But the wheels of fate had started to turn 
And for me there was no way out 
And it wasn\'t very long \'til I knew exactly  
what my Mama\'d been talkin\' about  
I knew what I had to do  
but I made myself this solemn vow  
That I\'s gonna be a lady someday  
though I didn\'t know when or how 
But I couldn\'t see spending the rest of my life 
With my head hung down in shame you know 
I might have been born just plain white trash  
but Fancy was my name 
 
It wasn\'t long after that benevolent man 
Took me off
Love Is Alive lyrics

(Written by: Charlie Craig, Shane Teeters, and Bruce Bouton)
Steam on the window, the moon is bright
We're just two people holding on tight
This night is young and this feeling is strong
The smile on your face said it all
Chorus:
Love is alive and well tonight
Taking control like a raging fire
Burning it's way from your heart to mine
 the street 
And one week later I was pourin\' his tea 
In a five room hotel suite 
I charmed a king, congressman 
And an occasional aristocrat 
Then I got me a Georgia mansion 
In an elegant New York townhouse flat 
And I ain\'t done bad 
Now in this world there\'s a lot of self-righteous hypocrites that would call me bad  
and criticize Mama for turning me out  
no matter how little we had 
But though I ain\'t had to worry \'bout nothin\'  
for nigh on fifteen years 
I can still hear the desperation  
in my poor Mama\'s voice ringin\' in my ear 
She said, (Chorus) 
Lord, forgive me for what I do 
But if you want out well it\'s up to you 
Now don\'t let me down 
You Mama\'s gonna help you uptown 
I guess she did
