River, river, silver streams
And fishes swimming onward
Jumping in the spray
Of water lapping at your feet
In to my own heart you flow
You know I'll never ever let you go
All you need is love
To show you the way from here
Oh dear won't you come near
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
All you need is love
To show you the way from here
Oh dear won't you come near

I was on my own
Walking 'round the places that I used to know
Sitting in the park
That I knew one time
On a windy autumn day.
La da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da
For awhile the sun it shone
Came the clouds and the sun is gone
For awhile the sun it shone

Starboard cried the Captain as we steered our charted course
Lightning flashed and thunder crashed, the ship of love was lost
Rode the storm and waited for the calm to come
Then you grabbed your things and chose to run
Hey can you tell me what I need to know
I'm gettin' the feelin' and it's starting to grow
I'm starting to love you
And this feeling just won't go
Just won't go
(background singers:)
Lovin' was just a game I played with anyone
But losin' you ain't easy now it's hard to carry on
(Danny:)
Well I was just the singer, and you seemed to like the song
Now all that's left are the words since the melody's gone
Hey can you tell me what I need to know
I'm gettin' the feelin' and it's starting to grow
I'm starting to love you
And this feeling just won't go
Just won't go
If your leavin' leaves me feeling better
Well how come tears are in my eyes
If I could do things right
I'd be a new man overnight
Ooh...overnight
Hey can you tell me what I need to know
I'm gettin' the feelin' and it's starting to grow
I'm starting to love you
And this feeling just won't go
Just won't go

Walking under the moonlight
Walking under the stars
Thinking thoughts of you babe
Wonder where you are
Looking over the mountains
Looking over the skies
Dream a dream of tomorrow
Only love tells me why
You're my heart's desire
You're the end of the love
Reaching out to the fire
Fly on the wings of a dove
Dove...dove...dove...dove
Walking under the moonlight
Walking under the stars
Thinking thoughts of you babe

Reaching out to the fire
Fly on the wings of a dove
Dove...dove...dove...dove
You're my heart's desire
You're the end of the love
Reaching out the fire
Fly on the wings of a dove
Spaceman fly high
See the sun go, wanna die
Secret lovers
Won't you take this heart of mine
Through an open door
See what love is for
Believing
In a little while
In another smile
I'm leaving
Silent motion
See the world go 'round and 'round
Deep blue ocean
There I know where I'll be found
Every day and night
I don't wanna fight
I need you
Take me by the hand
Yes I understand
You're leaving
Baby you're the spirit flying through the sky
Baby you're my heart's desire
I know what is real
I just beg and steal
I'm just sinking in the mire
Every day and night
I don't wanna fight
I need you
Take me by the hand
Yes I understand
You're leaving
Baby you're the spirit flying through the sky
Baby you're my heart's desire
I know what is real
I just beg and steal
I'm just sinking in the mire
Spaceman fly high

Secret lovers
Won't you take this heart of mine

Lovely days in the month of may
Sitting in the sunlight
Singing a spring song
Lovers wrapped upon a lawn
To meet another day
Meet another sun
When the birds awake and fly

Oh my girl you were damn damn pretty
Sleepy-eyed from the ram jam city
Oh don't you hide
Oh come inside
By the side of a truck stack waitin'
Fortify the lord abatin'(? )
Oh oh-oh-oh
Oh oh-oh-oh
Love to bring and love could borrow
Couldn't hide, couldn't leave tomorrow
Oh don't you hide
Oh come inside
By the light didn't you keep waitin'
Oh my girl why you hesitatin'
Oh oh-oh-oh
Oh oh-oh-oh

You're like a second chapter
In a book I read somewhere
Where the rain fell down
And covered everyone
Just like that second chapter
Where two people me somewhere
And said good-bye
And never met again
Through the hills and valleys we sat wondering
We really thought that we were lovers
solo

In the night when the moon is clear
You my dear are very near and so warm
Like a hot summer day late in June
Remember when we were so young
We thought that everything was fun
But really life had just begun

I just want to be beside you

Oh Caroline you haunt me so
This tangled heart of mine
Wants to be free of you
To start my life anew
Caroline
You took your lips to other guys
Those lips that once touched mine
Why don't you set me free
Don't go on hurting me
Caroline
Oh devil lady with a heart of steel
And flashing eyes of youth
Don't make it hard on me
Become a memory
Caroline
You're worlds away is a constant high
Please spare a thought for me
You let your love run wild
How sad I feel inside

Waiting for the sun to rise and shine
Through the mist and trees
Wonder if my love is still asleep
It's dark and I can't see
Wonder where I'm going
Where I've been
Maybe up to london to see the queen
Isn't it funny how we've been
Over so many ways in a life machine
Keep on lovin' you
Keep on lovin' you and
Oh...

No I can't let you go
'cause you're a part of me
Every way you show
You're just the same to me
I could love more each day
Wanna believe everything you say
Let's dance the hours away
And when the night is calling
You'll realize my name
That tomorrow morning
We'll finalize the game

Sun shines through my window in the afternoon
Sparrows on the railings in the month of june
Summer nights which start from skies at rainbow's end
Dusty morns with tiresome yawns
Cascades of blue and green
And oh my love you're in between the earth and sky
Cascades of blue and green
And oh my love you're in between the earth and sky

Isn't it strange how madly we are in love
Like the earth and the sky
I think that you're the best girl in the world
And I love you
Isn't it strange how madly we are in love
Like the earth and the sky
Dreams that come true
Could not be better than for me and you

Could not be better than for me and you

You open up on Sunday
You're closing down on Monday
I don't know why you open at all
You're selling books and old things
Picture frames and gold rings
Anything you can find
Baby baby how do I know
If you're there when I want
To take you to the show
Baby baby how do I know
If you're there when I want
To take you to the show

You are the one who makes me happy
When everything else turns to grey
Yours is the voice that wakes me mornings
And sends me out into the day
You are the crowd that sits quiet
Listening to me
To all the mad sense I make
You are one of the few things worth remembering
And if it's all true
How can anyone mean more to me
Than you
Sorry if sometimes I look past you
There's no one beyond your eyes
Inside my head the wheels are turning
Hey, sometimes I'm not so wise
You are heart (you are my heart, you're my, my inspiration)
Just like the old love song goes (just like a love song)
You are one of the few things worth remembering
And if it's all true
How can anyone mean more to me
Than you
(You are my heart, you're my, my inspiration)
Just like the old love song goes (just like a love song)
You are one of the few things worth remembering
And if it's all true
How can anyone mean more to me
Than you
(You're the one) you
Summer days and summer nights
Far away from city lights
And you, my love, without your sweet song
In the world
Drifting like a summer breeze (call my name along the way)
And in the afternoon
We'll walk and find the things to say
But now's the time to say goodbye
To the magic in your eyes
To the magic in your eyes
To the magic in your eyes
Drifting like a summer breeze
Sometimes you call my name along the way
And in the afternoon
We'll walk and find the things to say
But now's the time to say goodbye
To the magic in (your eyes)
To the magic in your eyes
To the magic in your eyes
Drifting like a summer breeze
Sometimes you call my name along the way
And in the afternoon
We'll walk and find the things to say
But now's the time to say goodbye
To the magic in your eyes
To the magic in your eyes
To the magic in your eyes
To the magic in your eyes
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
Let it be, let it be,
Let it be, let it be,
There will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be,
Let it be, let it be,
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow
Let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
Let it be, let it be,
Let it be, let it be,
There will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be,
Let it be, let it be,
There will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be,
Let it be, let it be,
There will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be,
Let it be, let it be,
There will be an answer
How many times must I tell you
That I can't go on this way
Believing all you say and seeing nothing
You don't want to listen
Can't you hear me when I say
That everything we've got depends on what you do today
Time will not heal
These wounds that you reel
And no one else but us will end up crying
I see you don't believe me
But I'm telling you the truth
'Cause I've seen so many others come and go
It's time to stop and think
Of no others but yourself
And pay back all the people you've been owing
Time will not heal
These wounds that you reel
And no one else but us will end up crying
If I stood up and told you
The truth right to your face
Would you ever understand my point of view
Or would you sit and tell me
That you knew that you were right
And I've betrayed your trust with all my scheming
Time will not heal
These wounds that you reel

Too many times I've dreamt about you
Seen too many days without the sun
'cause I know it shines all the day through
And in too many ways, I miss the sun
(background singers:)
So wait for me california
I gotta see my way to you
(danny:)
Too many times I've my heart ache
None of those times have I felt you
So far to go, but how it's worthwhile
Just get me back where I belong
Your local mountains of love of such style
And every day is like a song
(background singers:)
So wait for me california
I gotta see my way to you
(danny:)
I need the kind of life you give me
It makes my love for you feel true

Love can always bring you happines
When the day is though
Oh my love will never die
As long as I have you
Anyway it doesn't matter
If you're sad and blue
So I say this winter's day
Getting by the same old way
I can the little sparrows on my windowpane
Washing and a splashing in the rain
While you're sitting knitting happy just the same
Anyway it doesn't matter
If you're sad and blue
So I say this winter's day
Getting by the same old way
I can the little sparrows on my windowpane
Washing and a splashing in the rain
While you're sitting knitting happy just the same
Love can always bring you happines
When the day is though
Oh my love will never die
As long as I have you
Love can always bring you happines
When the day is though
Oh my love will never die
Your pillow was unslept upon
your closet was empty too.
All of your shirts and ties were gone
There wasn't a trace of you.
How could you go and leave so completely?
Nothing was left
Of all the memories that we used to share
Just an empty too dull to face
And a half-filled cup of coffee
Odds and ends of a beautiful love affair.
At least you could have said goodbye
You shouldn't have to run away
Were you afraid that I would cry?
My tears might have made you stay?
Gone all the dreams that kept us together
Nothing was left
To show that we were once so happy there.
Just an empty too dull to face
And a half-filled cup of coffee
Odds and ends of a beautiful love affair.
How could you go and leave so completely?
Nothing was left
Of all the memories that we used to share.
Just an empty too dull to face
And a half-filled cup of coffee
Odds and ends of a beautiful love affair.

Oh mother nature is singing a song with the birds
Beautiful rhyme when the sun's up on time
From the hills
When the light of the day shines silent and still
There's nothing that stirs but the animal's word
Until...
We awake with the sounds of life that surrounds us
Love for tomorrow won't do for today
Salient bell across rivers that flow
Rings in the night
For the angel's delight
Angel's delight
Oh mother nature is singing a song with the birds
Beautiful rhyme when the sun's up on time
From the hills
When the light of the day shines silent and still

Sitting by the river side
Nothing to do and nothing to hide
All I wanna do is work out
But what can I do when you're about
I'm falling in love with you again
Haven't felt this way
Since I don't know when
I coming like a rolling stone to you
I'm falling in love again
You take me high
You take me low
You think it's fine
Just to take my soul
In the morning when the sun comes up
We take a sip from our loving cup
I'm falling in love with you again
Haven't felt this way
Since I don't know when
I coming like a rolling stone to you
I'm falling in love again
I'm falling in love with you again
Haven't felt this way

Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
I can tell by the way you're lookin'
With that twinkle in your eye
There's no two ways about it
And that's just the reason why
So if you do come a little bit closer
And soon in a little while
Drift along the highway
And watch the world go by
Tomorrow is another day
Waiting just for you
And then you'll see the only way
And I'll be there too (too) etc.

Have you ever seen the swallow stitching
Through a shaft of sunlight in the morning?
Have you a willow bending
In wind that throws it's way along the canyon?
Has your body felt the shock of deep immersion
At the bottom of the river?
Has your heart felt the hurt of someone
Turns and walks away forever?
Have your strapped(?) your head and tore your hair
'Cause people haven't got the love of living?
Have you ground your teeth and clenched you fist
Because your friends have lost the art of giving?
They don't take the time to stop and think
Of all the brothers in the world with nothing
Of the man who takes the food and drink
And freedom from the hands of children dying
Look around you
Look around you
Look around you

I wanna see your love
I wanna hear you say
The things that mean so much to me
'cause our love could last forever
Or it could fade away
Across the ocean
Deep commotion
Castaway

How can I get an answer
When you don't even call
To hear the things I want to say

Across the misty river
Across the seven seas
I see a magic ship
Coming back to me
I see memories of you and me
That now are gone
And you're here by my side
Across the misty river
Across the misty river
Sometimes I think of you
In circles in my mind
But now the time has come
For the sun to shine
By the river side, standing here
I can't hide
When you're so close to me
Across the misty river
Across the misty river
Across the misty river
Across the misty river
Across the misty river
Across the seven seas
I see a magic ship
Coming back to me
I see memories of you and me

Oh mary jane
Are you sleeping
Are you waiting for the sun
Oh mary jane
Your tears they fall
Like rain upon the sand
Let me take you by the hand
We will go anywhere
As long as the world don't care about our love
We will go anywhere
As long as the world don't care about our love
Oh come to me
And the brightness of the morning
Could be yours
Oh let us be
Together when as evening fades away
In to meet another day
We will go anywhere
As long as the world don't care about our love
We will go anywhere
As long as the world don't care about our love

mananahimik sa iyong paglalaro

*O huwag na huwag
