Does anyone have the lyrics for "You" (recording on YouTube) sung by Kate Wolf? The YouTube site says it's written by Kate Wolf and Lionel Kilberg and was on the 1973 album "Breezes," but it's not in either of her songbooks.

Here is the story of the album...

It was re-named in the mid 1990s and credited to Kate Wolf, but it was called a Lionel Kilberg album back in 1973.

I have the Gadfly CD reissue, but it has no lyrics sheet.

Here's my transcription:


YOU
Words by Lionel Kilberg, music by Kate Wolf
As sung by Kate Wolf on the Kilberg/Wolf/Don Coffin LP "We Walked by the Water" (1973), reissued as a CD "Bridges" (1995)

Purple-colored daffodils settin' off your hair,
Blushin' roses in your cheeks know I'll soon be there.
Smiles that thaw the winter snow, bringin' on the spring,
Sparklin' eyes that dance above ruby lips that sing.

There's no flower anywhere that has yet been found
To compare with such as you; there is none around.
Tulips blossom; roses bloom; lilies* pokin' through,
None bear the beauty of love I have for you.

Tulips blossom; roses bloom; lilies* pokin' through
None bear the beauty of love I have for you.


[* I have used "lilies" but she might be singing "dillies"—meaning daffodils, I suppose.]

Equality - Kate Wolf, Breezes album

Equality don't mean a lazy kind of living,
Equality don't mean you do the least you can,
Equality don't mean the other guy keeps giving,
Equality means every man's a man.

Equality don't mean only in the schoolroom,
Equality don't mean after voting time is through,
Equality says now the jobs are all wide open,
By the race and color, every me and you,

Nobody says, "We're special",
Nobody says, "Me first",
The water goes to everyone, no more unequal thirst.

Equality don't mean a chance for getting even,
Equality don't mean you take somebodies place,
Equality don't mean the other guy is leaving,
Equality just means you don't judge him by his face.

Break

Nobody says, "We're special",
Nobody says, "Me first",
The water goes to everyone, no more unequal thirst.

Equality don't mean a lazy kind of living,
Equality don't mean you do the least you can,
Equality don't mean the other guy keeps giving,
Equality means every man's a man.

End.
