Tap Songbook

Frames on the wall hold your stories
Year after year you came back
Searching for you
Hoping to find a clue
Where are you in the photographs?

Here now I’m finding my own way
But smiling the same way you do
One of a kind
Each picture aligns
With my place in the gray and blue

CHORUS:
Years on the wall
Make us part of it all
Captured forever in time
Tap stays the same
Though the faces may change
We’re all home in the photographs

I see you searching like I did
These snapshots can act as a guide
Feel the echos
Every Tap girl should know
We’ll always be side by side

CHORUS
You’ll find home in the photographs

Grow slowly
Feel what your days here mean to me
The warmth, it’s serene you live thru me
Winter months worth the wait

Days slip by quick here
Sun falls as stars start to appear
Look around see what we hold dear
Just be here with me

And you will soon know
That the world won't’ stop moving
Girls come and go, but their voices still echo (echo echo)
That you’re home (here with me)

All your life I’ll remain
Gonna feel this when you're old someday miles away
Cause these moments tie our souls
With the memories we hold

Don’t rush
Sway as the pine trees move with us
Watch how the girls learn to find love
As their souls intertwine

Run freely
Steps that you take here revive me
Songs that you sing fuel my heartbeat
Fixed forever in you mind

And you will soon know
That the world won’t stop moving
Girls come and go, but their voices still echo (echo echo)
That you’re home (here with me)

You sang,
“All my life you’ll remain
Gonna feel this when I’m old someday miles away
Moments with you shaped my soul
Forever my home”

Head to the courts for the
Jane Lichtman tennis classic
Listen close for your name
Practice hard to win that game
Stories pranks memories of our Jane
Thanks to her we know home is here
Her spirit carries on each year
We say thanks for all the fun
Your always number one here’s to you
(humming)
Because she is our Jane

Headlines read blue today new sensation shakes the ground
Our raging avalanche makes you hear the blue team sound (scream!)
News flash we’re here to stay spread the word bring color back
Forecast says it’s time for our attack (ooo)
Blue team marching onward yeah we’re claiming our fame
Time’s up gray it’s over too bad it’s such a shame
Switch to blue broadcast as we save the day
Blue lights are flashing as we take over gray
Our fame is over sorry it was a phase
Our team is soaring cause the bar has been raised
Watch us explode now
We have swept the grays aside
The streets are safe again blues here reporting live
Don’t let them change your mind
Try to put you in a haze
The dirt we’ve got is about to start a craze
Blue team marching onward yeah were claiming our fame
Black and white and blue all over yeah the game has been changed

Chorus:
Rhythm
We’re tappin our feet
We march to the beat of our own drum
Oh Gray rhythm
You can’t slow us down
We’re shaking the ground
Hear us comin
(ohhh)

Tempos change but we stay in sync
It’s gray rhythm
You can’t throw us off
(Throw us off)
Singin’ in perfect harmony
No matter what you try
We’ll never be off key

Chorus:
Rhythm
We’re tappin our feet
We march to the beat of our own drum
Oh Gray rhythm
You can’t slow us down
We’re shaking the ground
Hear us comin
(ohhh)

Ohhh
Oh Rhythm
Tap your feet

Straighten up girls
Tours comin’ through
Families wanna learn about the gray and blue
Alumni welcome back

When you see them say “nice to meet you”
Let's show em all that TAP girls can do.
