That Girl Could Sing
by Jackson Browne

She was a friend to me when I needed one
Wasn't for her I don't know what I'd have done
She gave me back something that was missing in me
She could have turned out to be almost anyone
Almost anyone --
With the possible exception of who I wanted her to be

Running into the midnight
With her clothes whipping in the wind
Reaching into the heart of the darkness
For the tenderness within
Stumblin' into the lights of the city
And then back in the shadows again
Hanging onto the laughter
That each of us hid our unhappiness in

Talk about celestial bodies
And your angels on the wing
She wasn't much good at stickin' around -- but
That girl could sing
She could sing....

In the dead of night
She could shine a light
On some places that you've never been
In that kind of light
You could lose your sight
And believe there was something to win
You could hold her tight
With all your might
But she'd slip through your arms like the wind
And be back in flight
Back into the night
Where you might never see her again

The longer I thought I might find her
The shorter my vision became
Running in circles behind her
And thinking in terms of the blame
But she couldn't have been any kinder
If she'd come back and tried to explain
She wasn't much good at saying goodbye -- but
That girl was sane

Forever Young
by Rod Stewart

May the good lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
Surround you when you're far from home

And may you grow to be proud
Dignified and true
And do unto others
As you'd have done to you

Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you'll always stay
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young

May good fortune be with you
May your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven
With a prince or vagabond

And may you never love in vain
And in my heart you will remain
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young

And when you finally fly away
I'll be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tell

But whatever road you choose
I'm right behind you, win or lose
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young

"Hello, Dilbert. I'm the vice-president in charge of immediately implementing ideas that may adversely affect the company. Now this idea of yours for a marketing department sounds a bit risky, but here at Nirvana Company, we pride ourselves on our willingness to explore new directions. Until now, it's worked out great. I only hope this isn't the one time I'm calamitously wrong. Well, good day!"
