Yesterday's songs
Don't stay around long
Not much anymore
Yesterday's words
Don't make themselves heard
Like they did before
Baby, yesterday's blues
May be yesterday's news
But the truth always stays the same
And good things will never change
Like sayin' "I love you"
Sayin' "I love you"
Yesterday's songs
Don't seem to belong
They're here and they're gone
Yesterday's moves
Don't stay in the grooves
They keep moving on
Maybe yesterday's rhyme
Was for yesterday's time
And the future's not ours to see
But there's some things that always will be
Like sayin' "I love you"

Yes I will, 'deed I will.
If I may, if I might, if I can.
Once upon a passing night dream
he beheld a mystic image bathed in blue reflection.
Then he stood and made his song,
closed his eyes to feel the thunder
echo like a wave around him;
love was in this strange house,
and he knew he did belong, yes he did belong.
Yes I will, 'deed I will. If I can.
And cold it was within the marrow,
waiting like a wounded sparrow,
helpless and forgotten while the radio played on.
Sing your song you fool, you dreamer;
'cross the space that lies between us;
cast the stones of fortune,
for the journey has begun, yes it has begun.
So you do, so you want to be giving.
Say it out loud if you need to be holy.
So you do, so you want to be loving;
say it out now if you need to be holier still.
So it seems or so it may be,
I can't know for sure but lately seems I'm on a journey
to a place I've never been.
And baby if I had the answers I would lay them all before you;
plainly it's a circle, one that ends and then begins, and begins again.

O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice, rejoice!
Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
We three kings of orient are
Field and fountain,
Moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to that perfect Light.
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain
Moor and mountain,
Following yonder star
O Rejoice, rejoice
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light
Star of wonder
Star so bright

O come, all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
Oh come ye
O come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold him,
Born the King of angels
O come, let us adore him
O come, let us adore him
O come, let us adore him,
Christ the Lord
Adeste Fideles
Laeti triumphantes
Venite, venite in Bethlehem
Natum videte
Regem angelorum
Venite adoremus
Venite adoremus
Venite adoremus
Dominum
Sing,
Choirs of angels
Sing in exultation
Oh sing,
All ye citizens of heaven above
Glory to God in the highest
O come, let us adore him
O come, let us adore him
O come, let us adore him,
Christ the Lord.
O come, let us adore him
Christ the Lord

I'm walkin'
But I'm going nowhere at all
I'm 'bout to head any place in the world
But the place that I am
I'm talkin'
Hey, heh, heh
But baby, you don't understand
Na na na na na na na na na
Bad times, I can't take 'em
Good times, got to make 'em
Got to find 'em, got to taste 'em
Hey, and I do, I say I do
Mama I do
Two bit manchild I was
Born for nothin' mostly
Good time with sometime women
Nothin' ain't ever hold me
You can't change me none
Na na na na na
You want me
And I can't deny , I 'm a man
But I go no eyes for a tight pair of shoes
When my bare feet'll do
You need me
Hey, heh, heh
The wind is where I got my roots
Na na na na na na na na na
Bad times, I can't take 'em
Good times, got to make 'em
Got to find 'em, got to taste 'em
Hey and I do, I say I do
Mama I do......
Two bit manchild I was
Born for nothin' mostly
Good times with sometime women
Nothin' ain't ever hold me
You can't change me none
Na na na na na
I do, I say I do
Mama, Mama I do......
Two bit manchild I was
Born for nothin' mostly baby
Good time women
Good time lovin'
Hear what I 'm saying, baby
Two bit manchild

I can see it all now.
I will never forget
what you meant to me.
Don't have a single regret.
And I was feelin' alright
when it was just me and you.
We loved with all of our might.
That's all we wanted to do.
There ain't a lot we had to know
except that I wanted you
to be wherever I'd go.
Will anything ever be sweeter than those days?
Nobody's gonna replace
all that we shared with each other in those days,
back in those sweet L.A. days,
sweet L.A. days.
No one could ever replace
how on a Saturday night
we would jump in your car
and how we'd drive through the night
and maybe not get that far.
There wasn't much we had to learn
except that we knew the road would take us through every turn.
Will anything ever be sweeter than those days?
Nobody's gonna replace all that we shared
with each other in those days,
back in those sweet L.A. days, sweet L.A. days.
Ooee baby it's takin' me back,
back to those L.A. days,
sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet L.A. days.
They can't be taken away,
not those L.A. days, no,
those L.A. days,

Where it began
I can't begin to knowing
But then I know it's growing strong
Was in the spring
And spring became a summer
Who'd believe you'd come along
Hands
Touching hands
Reaching out
Touching me
Touching you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
But now I
Look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when holding you?
Touching one
Reaching out
Touching me
Touching you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh no no
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Sweet Caroline
I've believed they never could
Sweet Caroline

Surviving the life
Got some highs got some lows
But the wise man knows what it's really about
When you're doing without
Surviving the life
Providing the soul
It ain't easy to do
When you've got to get through
Any way that you can
Join the familial man
Providing the soul
Pass the plate that serves it
Every heart deserves it
You and me, we do
Life ain't easy (no, no)
But it ain't that bad
Sing the song that tells it
Raise the man that sells it
You're alive, you might as well be, man
Revealing the heart
You know that some people try
But it's hard gettin' by without
Leaving a thing
You only get what you bring
Revealing the heart
Pass the plate that serves it
Every heart deserves it
You and me, we do
Life ain't easy
But it ain't that bad
Sing the song that tells it
Raise the man that sells it
You're alive, you might as well be, man
Providing the soul
Beginning the whole
Surviving the life
Surviving the life...

It took a while for me to know
What I was looking for
And every heart I've ever known
Has left me wanting more
One good love
Can turn it all around
Take hold of a restless heart
Lead it back to solid ground
You can search the world for happiness
And never get enough
When all you really need to find
Is one good love
I followed all of life's pleasures
Wherever they will be
But someone I can treasure
Is all I really need
One good love
Can turn it all around
Take hold of a restless heart
And lead it back to solid ground
One good love
Can take you to the light
With just one touch you can forget
A thousand empty nights
You can search the world for happiness
And never get enough
And all you really need to find
Is one good love
You can search the world for happiness
And never get enough
And all you really need to find
Is one good love

No words could say how much I love you
No words could be as true
I’ve looked through books and read through dictionaries
But I found no words for you
No words, no words, no words
Oh no, oh no
No words can define what I’m feeling
When I feel close to you
No words can bring that magic kind of healing
Just as much as your touch can do
No words, no words, no words
Oh no, oh no
Well I’ll admit there may be one or two
That danced around my head
But words that talk about me and you
Are better felt than said there are no
Words that can tell our story
They just get in the way
It’s all about the feelings that you’re feeling
Not about the words that you say
No words, no words, no words
Oh no, oh no
Well I’ll admit there may be one or two
Been swimmin’ round in my head
But what they say about me and you
Is better felt than said there are no
Words that can solve the mystery
Or explain God’s eternal plan
We only know enough to ask the questions
Not enough to understand
No words, no words, no words
Oh no, oh no
No words, no words, no words

Roll 'em in the morning, roll without no warning,
Hot damn, hot damn, hot damn, you know that he could and he would,
He's a high rollin' man in a high rollin' neighborhood.
Roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em.
Don't do much good, but good Lord, he could roll 'em.
Lord, he was a dreamer, hardly worth redeeming,
Hot damn, hot damn, hot damn, you know that he was, Lord, he was,
But when it comes to his thumbs, ain't a man who can do what he does.
Roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll'em,
Don't do much good, but good Lord, he could roll 'em.
Roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em,
Don't do much good, but good Lord, he could roll 'em.
Roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em, roll 'em,

Here is my song for the asking
Ask me and I will play
So sweetly, I'll make you smile
This is my song for the taking
Take it, don't turn away
I've been waiting all my life
Thinking it over, I've been sad
Thinking it over, I'd be more than glad
To change my ways for the asking
Ask me and I will play

If I had my way, I'd walk thru that door and wander
down the Champs Elysees
going from cafe to cabaret
The way I see it, I just can't win it
Everybody's in it for their own game
You can't please them all
There's always somebody callin' you down
And I do my best and I do good business
As a lot of people asking for my time
They're trying to get ahead
And try and be a good friend of mine
I was a free man in Paris, I was unfettered and alive
There was nobody to call me up for favours
Noone's future to decide
You know I'd go back there tomorrow
But for the work I'm taking on
stokin the star maker machinery
Behind the popular song
I deal in dreamers and telephone schemers
Lately I wonder what I do it for
If I had my way, I'd walk thru that door and wander
down the Champs Elysees
going from cafe to cabaret
Thinkin' how I feel when I find

In the wintertime
Keep your feet warm,
Keep your clothes on
And don't forget me.
Keep the memory,
But keep your powder dry, too.
In the summer
By the pool side
While the fireflies
Are all around me,
I'll miss you when I'm lonely,
I'll miss the alimony, too.
Don't forget me, please don't forget me,
Make it easy on me just for a little while.
You know I'll think about you,
Let me know you think about me, too.
When we're older
And full of cancer
It doesn't matter now,
Come on, get happy,
'Cause nothing lasts forever,
And I will always love you.
Don't forget me, please don't forget me,
Make it easy on me just for a little while.
You know I'll think about you,
Let me know you think about me, too.
You know I'll think about you,

Baby, my tears I know I can hide
But sweet, sweet baby
It's tearing me up inside
And I'm comin' apart, breakin' in pieces
Look at my world tumblin' down
Comin' apart, breakin' in pieces, baby
Since you're not around
You've won, I'm lost
Nowhere to run to
Baby please hear what I got to say
Oh sweet, sweet baby
Oh don't turn me away
Cause I'm comin' apart
Breakin' in pieces
Look at my world tumblin' down
Comin' apart, breakin' in pieces
Baby, since you're not around
You've won, I'm lost

Girl, you know that I love you
But, I need time to think
And you know I can't think
When you're sitting this close to me
Can't we talk about wedding bells
Some other time?
If you get any closer,
I'll go out of my mind
Sit back, have a Coke and relax
Sit back, have a Coke and relax, babe
Things go better with,
You'll go better with,
I feel better with Coca Cola, yeah
Sit back, have a Coke and relax
Sit back, baby
Sit back, have a Coke and relax
Sit back, have a Coke and relax

People are lookin'
For what they ain't got
Runnin' and pushin'
For I don't know what
But I'm gonna stake out
My own piece of shade
Count all the money
I ain't ever made
No No No
I ain't got a single plan
Wind in my face
And a Coke in my hand
No No No
Happy right where I am

Hey, see how she kissed me
Yeah, no reason for the girl to lie
She say she gonna miss me
Yeah, smile on my face, I wave goodbye
But I've been back from Baltimore
For a week or two
I hurried back from Baltimore
Baby, where are you?
Where are you?
Yeah, I'm about to crumble
Yeah, come see me die before your eyes
Yeah, my thoughts all jumbled
And my throat is dry from asking why
But I've been back from Baltimore
For a week or two
I hurried back from Baltimore
Baby, where are you?
Where are you?
[Instrumental]
Girl, I've been back from Baltimore
For a week or two
I hurried back from Baltimore
Baby where are you?
Well, I've been back from Baltimore
For a week or two
I hurried back from Baltimore
Baby, where are you?
Where are you?

Holly holy eyes
Dream of only me
Where I am, what I am
What I believe in
Holly holy
Holly holy dream
Wanting only you
And she comes
And I run just like the wind will
Holly holy
Sing a song
Sing a song of songs
Sing it out
Sing it strong
Call the sun in the dead of the night
And the sun's gonna rise in the sky
Touch a man who can't walk upright
And that lame man, he's gonna fly
And I fly
And I fly
Holly holy love
Take the lonely child
And the seed
Let it be filled with tomorrow
Holly holy
Sing a song
Sing a song of songs
Sing it out
Sing it strong
Call the sun in the dead of the night
And the sun's gonna rise in the sky
Touch a man who can't walk upright
And that lame man, he's gonna fly
And I fly, yeah
And I fly
Holly holy dream
Dream of only you
Holly holy sun
Holly holy rain
Holly holy love

Hello
again hello
Just called to say: hello.
I couldn't sleep at all tonight
And I know it's late
But I couldn't wait.
Hello
my friend
hello
Just called to let you know
I think about you ev'ry night
When I'm here alone
And you're there at home.
Hello.
May be it's been crazy
And may be I'm to blame
But I put my heart above my head.
We've been through it all
And you loved me just the same
And when you're not there
I just need to hear.
Hello
my friend
hello
It's good to need you so
It's good to love you like I do
And to feel this way
When I hear you say:
Hello
my friend
hello.
Just called to let you know
I think about you ev'ry night
And I know it's late
But I couldn't wait

Walk on Water
Neil Diamond
Words and music by Neil Diamond.
Transcribed from Neil Diamond's Moods album.
Walk on water, ain't it like her,
She leads the children,
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right!
And ain't it wond'rous, the way she does it,
Gives love and loves it,
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right!
Light de light, we got mornin,'
Mornin' makes another day,
Glory sight, got de dawnin,'
Lordy, light the night away!
Light de light, we got mornin,'
Mornin' makes another day,
Glory sight, got de dawnin,'
Lordy light the night away!
Light de light, we got mornin,'
Mornin' makes another day.
Glory sight, got de dawnin,'
Lordy light the night away!
She walks on water, ain't it like her,
She leads the children,
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right!
From: Gloria "Montcomags"

He wakes up in the morning
on a dark and stormy christmas day
and he wonders to himself
Is this all I have
or do I need some love
I feel you
when the storms blow blue
I feel you
when borms show true
We went to your bedroom
and started making love
my penis quickly erected
and I put in your asshole
(Put it in your asshole)
When the storms blow blue
(Put it in your asshole)
When teh borms show true

Loneliness, well, it's the clothes you wear
It's a deep shade of blue, and it's always there
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the skies
Tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love
Emptiness, it's the place you're in
With no more to lose, and no more to win
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the skies
Tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love
Lonely, without you baby
Oh, I need you, I can't go on
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the skies
Tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love

In this cold world
No matter where I go
The crowds are all the same
To them I'm just
A pebble in the sand
A face without a name
Nobody gives a hang
For what I say or do
But you
And in the shelter of your arms
I find peace and comfort and care
For I am wanted there
In this cold world
You struggle to survive
And sometimes you can fall
You'd think someone
Would lend a helping hand
They'd sooner see you crawl
But just when life itself
Seems more than I can bear
You're there
And in the shelter of your arms
I find strength and safety and then
I rise and start again
Just give me one good reason
To go on living
To keep on trying
For what, I ask you for what
If not for you
And all your love
To see me through
But just when life itself
Seems more than I can bear
You're there
And in the shelter of your arms
I find strength and safety and then
I rise and start again

The Dancing Bumble Bee/
Bumble Bee Boogie
And when the hot winds blow tonight
The dancing bumble bee takes flight
And all the flowers in the field
Prepare their nectar soon to yield
Dance
Dance
Fly
Fly
Behold the dancing bumble bee
And as they gather 'round to see
His rhythm burns like a raging fire
In passion by that sweet desire
Dance
Dance
Fly
Fly
Dance
Dance with me here tonight
I'll make you warm and right
I'll make you warm tonight
Come dance
He danced until the morning came
Until the music's last refrain
And though he knew it soon would end
He only lived to dance again
Dance
Dance
Fly
Dance
Dance with me here tonight
I'll make you warm and right
I'll make you warm tonight
Come dance
Dance
Dance
Fly

Album: You Don't Bring Me Flowers

I don't have a lot but with me that's fine
Whatever I got, well, I know it's mine
I don't go around with the local crowd
I don't dig what's in so I guess I'm out
I'm sayin' these things so you know me, baby
So you understand what I'm all about
The boat that I row won't cross no ocean
The boat that I row won't get me there soon
But I got the love and if you got the notion
The boat that I row is big enough for two
That's me and you
There ain't a man alive tell me what to say
I choose my own side and I like it that way
I don't worry about all the things that I'm not
There's only one thing that I want I ain't got
You know that I'm talking about you baby
So you better know when you come along
The boat that I row won't cross no ocean
The boat that I row won't get me there soon
But I got the love and if you got the notion
The boat that I row is big enough for two
That's me and you
I'm sayin' these things so you know me, baby
So you understand what I'm all about
The boat that I row won't cross no ocean
The boat that I row won't get me there soon
But I got the love and if you got the notion
The boat that I row is big enough for two

Daytime turns me off, and I don't mean maybe
Nine-to-five ain't taking me where I'm bound
When it's done, I run out to see my baby
We get groovin' when the sun goes down
I thank the Lord for the night time
To forget the day
A day of up-, uptight time
Baby, chase it away
I get relaxation
It's a time to groove
I thank the Lord for the night time
I thank the Lord for you
I'll talk about plans now, baby, I got plenty
Nothing ever seems turn out the way it should
Talk about money, girl, I ain't got any
Seems like just one time I'm feelin' good
I thank the Lord for the night time
To forget the day
A day of up-, uptight time
Baby, chase it away
I get relaxation
It's a time to groove
I thank the Lord for the night time

If you wanted that star
That shines so brightly
To match the stardust in your eyes
Darling,
I would chase that bright star nightly
And try to steal it from the sky
I would give
Sweets for my sweet,
Sugar for my honey
Your tasty kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet,
Sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go
If you needed the dream
To keep you smilin'
I'd tell the sandman you were blue
And I'd ask him
To keep that sand a-pilin'
Until your dreams had all come true
And I would give
Sweets for my sweet,
Sugar for my honey
Your tasty kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet,
Sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go
If you wanted a love to last forever
Then I would send my love your way
And my love'd not only last forever
But forever and a day
'Cause I would give
Sweets for my sweet,
sugar for my honey
Your tasty kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet,
Sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go
Sweets for my sweet,
Sugar for my honey
Your tasty kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet,
Sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

Red, red wine
Go to my head
Make me forget that I
Still need her so
Red, red wine
It's up to you
All I can do, I've done
But mem'ries won't go
Oh, mem'ries won't go
I'd have sworn that with time
Thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong and I find
Just one thing makes me forget
Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearin' apart my blue, blue heart
I'd have sworn that with time
Thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong and I find
Just one thing makes me forget
Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearin' apart my blue, blue heart
Transcribed by Robin Hood

Stones would play inside her head
And where she slept,
They made her bed
And she would ache
for love And get but stones
La la la la la la la la la
Lordy, child
A good day's comin'
And I'll be there to let the sun in
And bein' lost
Is worth the comin' home
La la la la la la la la la on stones
You and me, a time for planting
You and me, a harvest granting
The every prayer ever prayed
For just two wild flowers that grow
La la la la la la la la la on stones

Come she come say
Ride on the night
Sun becomes day
Day shall provide
Soo, soolaimon
Soolai, soolai, soolaimon
Soo, soolaimon
Soolai, soolai, soolaimon
Soo, soolaimon
Soolai, soolai, soolaimon
God of my want, want, want
Lord of my need, need, need
Leading me on, on, on
On to the woman, she dance for the sun
God of my day, day, day
Lord of my night, night, night
Seek for the way, way, way
Taking me home
She callin'
Bring home my name
On the wings of a flea
Wind in the plains
Dance once for me
Soo, soolaimon
Soolai, soolai, soolaimon
Soo, soolaimon
Soolai, soolai, soolaimon
Soo, soolaimon

Red, red wine
Go to my head
Make me forget that I
Still need her so
Red, red wine
It's up to you
All I can do, I've done
But memories won't go
No, memories won't go
I'd have sworn
That with time
Thoughts of you
Would leave my head
I was wrong
And I find
Just one thing
Makes me forget
Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearing apart

Pretty amazing grace is what You showed me
pretty amazing grace is who You are
I was an empty vessel
You filled me up inside
and with amazing grace restored my pride
Pretty amazing grace is how You saved me
and with amazing grace reclaimed my heart
love in the midst of chaos
calm in the heat of war
showed with amazing grace what love was for
You forgave my insensitivity
and my attempt to then mislead You
You stood beside a wretch like me
Your pretty amazing grace was all I needed.
Stumbled inside the doorway of Your chapel
humbled in awe by everything I found
beauty and love surround me
freed me from what I fear
ask for amazing grace and You appear
You overcame my loss of hope and faith
gave me a truth I could belive in
You led me to a higher place
showed Your amazing grace
when grace was what I needed
Look in a mirror I see Your reflection
open a book You live on every page
I fall and You're there to lift me
share every road I climb
and with amazing grace You ease my mind
Came to You with empty pockets first
when I returned I was a rich man
didn't believe love could quench my thirst
but with amazing grace You showed me that it can
In Your amazing grace I had a vision
from that amazing place I came to be
into the night I wandered
wandering aimlessly
found Your amazing grace to comfort me.
pretty amazing
pretty amazing
pretty amazing
pretty amazing
pretty amazing
pretty amazing
pretty amazing
pretty amazing
You overcame my loss of hope and faith,
gave me a truth I could believe in.
You led me to that higher place

And precious dreams that made them one
One by one
Oh, and there they stood lost in the haze
With spirits blazing like the sun
Mothers and daughters,
Fathers and sons
They held the light
Yes they did
And it shined all night
Oh, all night
And they took the blows
Yes they did
Never letting go
Oh no, oh no
Oh no
And so they came with perfect schemes
And precious dreams that made them one
One by one
Oh, look up and see the eagles fly
And fill the sky beneath the sun
Mothers and daughters,
Fathers and sons
You hold the light
Yes you do
And you've got the right
Oh, got the right
And you'll feel the blows
Yes you will
Don't you dare let go
Oh no, oh no
Said that we have the right
Yes we do
It's down in black and white
Oh oh, oh oh
And we made it so
Yes we did
And we won't let go

Love on the rocks, ain't no big surprise
Just pour me a drink and I'll tell you some lies
I got nothing to lose
So you just sing the blues for a while
I gave you my heart and I gave you my soul
You left me alone here with nothing to hold
Yesterday's gone
And now all I want is a smile
First, they say they want you
How they really need you
Suddenly you find you're out there
Walking in the storm
When they know they have you
Then they really have you
Nothing you can do or say
You've got to leave, just get away
We all know the song
You need what you need
And you can say what you want
But there's not much you can do
When the feeling is gone
And may be blue skies above
But it's cold when you're love's on the rocks
First, they say they want you
How they really need you
Suddenly you find you're out there
Walking in the storm
When they know they have you
Then they really have you
Nothing you can do or say
You've got to leave, just get away
We all know the song
Love on the rocks, ain't no surprise
Just pour me a drink and I'll tell you some lies
Yesterday's gone

Longfellow serenade
such were the plans I'd made
For she was a lady and I was a dreamer with only words to trade.
You know that I was born for a night like this
Warmed by a stolen kiss
for I was lonely
and she was lonely.
Ride
come on baby
ride
let me make your drems come true
I'll sing my song
let me sing my song
let me make it warm for you.
I'll weave his web of rhyme upon the summer night
We'll leave this worldly time on his winged flight.
Then come and as we lay beside this sleepy glade
There I will sing to you my Long fellow .Serenade.
Longfellow serenade
such were the plans I made
But she was a lady as deep as the river
And through the night we stayed.
And in my way I loved her as none before
Loved her with words and more.
For she was lonely and I was lonely.
Ride
come on baby
ride

See what you do
You make me act so crazy
I'm overcome, I know
Stealin' my own show
For your love
And who am I now, Clown or Casanova
I'm never sure with you
And what more can I do
For your love burns
Warmer than you know
When love burns,
Never let it go away
And where do we go
Find a road to lead us
I'm searching in your eyes
A world beyond the skies
For your love burns
Brighter than you know
When love burns,
Never let it go away
Love burns
Brighter than you know
Oh, love burns
Never let it go away
Love burns when the spirit is wounded
Cut deep by the sound of rejection
Love burns in the soul of the seeker
Blue shadows in every direction
Love burns when the heart is uncovered
In the rage of the coldly storm
Love burns
Through the night and the morning
Till the frozen heart is warm
Love burns
Love burns
Love burns
Love burns
(Tom Hensley/Alan Lindgren)

The flashing of sabres dance
For honor and sweet romance
Come dance, sabre dance

I'VE BEEN THIS WAY BEFORE
Neil Diamond
Written by Neil Diamond
I've seen the light
And I've seen the flame
And I've been this way before
And I'm sure to be this way again
For I've been refused
And I've been regained
And I've seen your eyes before
And I'm sure to see your eyes again
For I've been released
And I've been regained
And I've sung my song before
And I'm sure to sing my song again
Some people got to laugh
Some people got to cry
Some people got to make it through
By never wondering why
Some people got to sing
Some people got to sigh
Some people never see the light
Until the day they die
But I've been released
And I've been regained
And I've been this way before
And I'm sure to be this way again
One more time again
Just one more time

IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
Neil Diamond
Written by Neil Diamond
When the night returns just like a friend
When the evening comes to set me free
When the quiet house that wait beyond the day
Make peaceful sounds in me
Took a drag from my last cigarette
Took a drink from a glass of old wine
I closed my eyes, and I could make it real
And feel it one more time
Can you hear it, babe
Can you hear it, babe
From another time
From another place
Do you remember it, babe
And the radio played like a carnival tune
As we lay in our bed in the other room
When we gave it away for the sake of a dream
In a penny arcade, if you know what I mean
Here's to the songs we used to sing
And here's to the times we used to know
It's hard to hold them in our arms again
But hard to let them go
Do you hear it, babe
Do you hear it, babe
It was another time
It was another place
Do you remember it, babe
And the radio played like a carnival tune
As we lay in our bed in the other room
When we gave it away for the sake of a dream
In a penny arcade, if you know what I mean

Come back again
I want you to stay next time
Cause sometimes the world ain't kind
When people get lost like you and me
I just made a friend
A friend is someone you need
But now that he has to go away
I still feel the words that he might say
Turn on your heartlight
Let it shine wherever you go
Let it make a happy glow
For all the world to see
Turn on your heartlight
In the middle of a young boy's dream
Don't wake me up too soon
Gonna take a ride across the moon
You and me
He's lookin' for a home
Cause everyone needs a place
A home's the most excellent place of all
And I'll be right here if you should call me
Turn on your heartlight
Let it shine wherever you go
Let it make a happy glow
For all the world to see
Turn on your heartlight
In the middle of a young boy's dream
Don't wake me up too soon
Gonna take a ride across the moon
You and me
Turn on your heartlight now

Since my baby left me
I found a new place to dwell
It's down at the end of lonely street
It's Heartbreak Hotel
I've been so lonely, baby, I've been so lonely
I've been so lonely, I could die
Although it's always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloom, gloom
I've been so lonely, baby, I've been so lonely
I've been so lonely, I could die
The bell hop's tears keep flowing
The desk clerk's dressed in black
They've been so long on lonely street
They're never coming back, yeah
I've been so lonely, baby, I've been so lonely
I've been so lonely, I could die
Now, if your baby leaves you
You've got a tale to tell
Just take a walk down lonely street
To Heartbreak Hotel
I've been so lonely, baby, I've been so lonely
(Yes, I have, been so lonely)
Oh, I've been so lonely, I could die
I've been so lonely, I could die

I may not always love you
But as long as there are stars above you
You'll never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
'Cause god only knows what I'd be without you
And if you should ever leave me
The world would still go on, believe me
And the world could show nothing to me
But what good will living do me
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
And if you should ever leave me
Life would still go on, believe me
And the world could show nothing to me
So what good will living do me
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you

Money talks
but it don't sing and dance and it don't walk.
And long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be
forever in blue jeans.
Honey's sweet.
But it ain't nothing next to baby's treat.
And if you pardon me
I'd like to say we'll do okay
forever in blue jeans.
Maybe tonight
maybe tonight
by the fire all alone you and I;
nothing around but the sound of my heart and your sighs.
Money talks.
But it can't sing and dance and it can't walk.
And long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be
forever in blue jeans
babe.
And honey's sweet.
But it ain't nothing next to baby's treat.
And if you pardon me
I'd like to say we'll do okay
forever in blue jeans.
Maybe tonight
maybe tonight
by the fire all alone you and I;
nothing around but the sound of my heart and your sighs.
And money talks.
But it don't sing and dance and it don't walk.
And long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be
forever in blue jeans.
And long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be

She wants to take it just a little bit further now
Don't let it happen,
'Cause if you let her in,
She's gonna take it away
Makin' you pay.
And what are you gonna say?
You better beware
And don't go there.
Don't wanna let her play with what belongs to you
'Cause if you let her play with you know what
You know what she's gonna do
She's gonna take it from you
That's just what she's gonna do
I don't know where
And don't go there.
The voice is sitting on my shoulder and telling me
The night is warm now but it might be getting colder
Better look out friend
Before you finally decide which way to go
I hope you stop and review
The scenario and how it ends
So just take care
And don't go there.
Alright...
Don't say I didn't warn you my friend.
If you think it'll last
May be time to start thinking again.
You're lookin' for love and you think that you'll find it soon
You're looking to put it away in the bank and save it
Follows you around like the odor of cheap perfume
You're paying a price when your heart has been misbehavin'
Don't go there
Don't go there.
You'll want to play it safe
And make no promises
If she understands the rules of the game but maybe work out fine
But baby take your time and don't you be unkind
But till that's clear
Then don't go there.
This thing is liable to take some funny turns
The only thing -- a real concern to me
Is having you protect yourself
It's not like either one of you is flying blind
But in the heat of things,
You got to apply your mind to something else.
No, life ain't fair
Don't go there.
Once you're in, you might not get out.
He he he he
You're looking for love in the back of a limousine
You're looking for something that's missing inside to fill you.
If you think you can run on the power of nicotine
They got a new drug for your mood that'll surely thrill you.
Don't go there
Don't go there
This ain't the Bible, and it ain't no moral tale
If it's a lesson in survival, you can learn it
If it's not too late
But don't you wait
Or hesitate
The lesson's clear
Please don't go there
Don't go there
Don't go there
Don't go there.

I never needed to hear the truth
You never wanted to know
I never wanted to be unkind
But then something kept telling me go
There was something kept telling me go
We stayed together like birds in a cage
But then one of us had to get free
But who had the heart to say goodbye
Wasn't you so it had to be me
Wasn't you so it had to be me
You told me to go when I wanted to stay
Breaking me over in every way
Telling me just what to do with my life
But, oh, I wish you could be mine
Oh, I wish you would be mine tonight
Be mine tonight, tonight
Be mine tonight
We never knew it for what it was worth
It was worth more than we understood
We never got past the lies and the hurt
And it hurt even when it was good

Do it
While your soul's still burning
Don't hide the yearning away
Say what you wanna say
Cause if you let her go
You'll always know
You blew it
Go to it
And do it, yeah
Do it, yeah
Tell her
Just how much you love her
And that no other could do
What she does to you
Cause if you take your time
You're gonna find
You blew it
Go thru it
And do it, yeah

(Are you ready to let it happen to you tonight?
Oh, yes ... do it, man ... here we go)
Calling out, 'round the world
Ready for a brand of beat
We're all here, time is right
Dancing in the street
There out in Chicago
New York city
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be ??? swing
Records playing
Dancing in the street
Doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
Come on, come on, now
Every guy grab a girl
Oh, everywhere around the world
Let it, Dancing in the street, Dancing
Dancing in the street, Dancing
Invitation, across the nation
Chance, folks want to meet
There'll be laughing, singing
Music swinging
Dancing in the street
Philedelphia, PA
Baltimore and DC, now
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be ??? swing
Records playing
Dancing in the street
(all right girls, do it to me, here we go)

You got me runnin', goin' out of my mind
You got me thinkin' that I'm wastin' my time
Don't bring me down, no, no, no, no, no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
You wanna stay out with your fancy friends
I'm tellin' you it's gotta be the end
Don't bring me down, no, no, no, no, no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down, gross
Don't bring me down, gross
Don't bring me down, gross
Don't bring me down
What happened to the girl I used to know?
You let your mind out somewhere down the road
Don't bring me down, no, no, no, no, no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
You're always talkin' 'bout your crazy nights
One of these days you're gonna get it right
Don't bring me down, no, no, no, no, no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down, gross
Don't bring me down, gross
Don't bring me down, gross
Don't bring me down
You're lookin' good just like a snake in the grass
One of these days you're gonna break your glass
Don't bring me down, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
You got me shakin', got me runnin' away
You got me crawlin' up to you everyday
Don't bring me down, no, no, no, no, no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down, down, down, down, down, down
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor

BROTHER LOVE'S TRAVELING SALVATION SHOW
Neil Diamond
Written by Neil Diamond
Hot August night
And the leaves hanging down
And the grass on the ground smelling sweet
Move up the road
To the outside of town
And the sound of that good gospel beat
Sits a ragged tent
Where there ain't no trees
And that gospel group
Telling you and me
It's Love
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
Grab the old ladies
Everyone goes
Everyone knows
Brother Love's show
Room gets suddenly still
And when you'd almost bet
You could hear yourself sweat, he walks in
Eyes black as coal
And when he lifts his face
Every ear in the place is on him
Starting soft and slow
Like a small earthquake
And when he lets go
Half the valley shakes
It's Love, Love
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
Grab the old ladies
Everyone goes
Everyone knows
Brother Love's show
Sermon
Take my hand in yours
Walk with me this day
In my heart, I know
I will never stray
Halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle
It's Love, Love
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
Grab the old ladies
Everyone goes
Everyone knows
Brother Love's show
Amen

Captain Sunshine, make me drink wine,Make me feel fine when I'm feelin' wrongly down.
He don't take much, he don't make much,
But ah, to be such a man as he,
and walk so pure between the earth and the sea.
Captain Sunshine, he do me fine,Make the words rhyme when he knows the tune is sad.He don't take much, he don't make much,
But ah, to be such a man as he,
and walk so pure between the earth and the sea.
He don't take much, he don't make much,

Canta libre, Canta vida, de mi madre, y mi padre,Canta mi corazon, Para los ninos, y sus ninos, canta libre.
I got music runnin' in my head,Makes me feel like a young bird flyin',
'Cross my mind and layin' in my bed,Keeps me away from the thought of dyin'.
Canta libre, Canta vida, de mi madre y mi padre.
I got music runnin' in my brain,Ev'ry song with it's own kind of meaning,Cleanse the soul and wash away the pain,Baptized by the song that you're singing.Canta libre, Canta la vida,siempre conmigo, canta libre.
Canta libre, canta la vida.
Canta mi corazon, Paralos ninos, y sus ninos, canta libre,

Brooklyn Road
Neil Diamond
If I close my eyes
I can almost hear my mother
Callin', "Neil, go find your brother
Daddy's home, and it's time for supper
Hurry on"
And I see two boys
Racin' up two flights of staircase
Squirmin' into Papa's embrace
And his whiskers warm on their face
Where's it gone
Oh, where's it gone
Two floors above the butcher
First door on the right
Life filled to the brim
As I stood by my window
And I looked out of those
Brooklyn roads
I can still recall
The smells of cookin' in the hallways
Rubbers drying in the doorways
And report cards I was always
Afraid to show
Mama'd come to school
And as I'd sit there softly crying
Teacher'd say, "He's just not trying
He's got a good head if he'd apply it"
But you know yourself
It's always somewhere else
I built me a castle
With dragons and kings
And I'd ride off with them
As I stood by my window
And looked out on those
Brooklyn roads
Thought of going back
But all I'd see are stranger's faces
And all the scars that love erases
But as my mind walks through thoses places
I'm wonderin'
What's come of them
Does some other young boy
Come home to my room
Does he dream what I did
As he stands by my window
And looks out on those
Brooklyn roads

What a beautiful noiseIt's a beautiful noise
Comin' up from the streetAnd it's a sound that I love
Got a beautiful soundAnd it makes me feel good
It's got a beautiful beatLike a hand in a glove
It's a beautiful noiseYes it does
yes it does
Goin' on ev'rywhereWhat a beautiful noise.
Like the clickety clack
Of a train on a trackIt's a beautiful noise
It's got rhythm to spare.Made of joy and of strife
Like a symphony played
It's a beautiful noiseBy the passing parade
And it's a sound that I loveIt's the music of life.
And it fits me as well
As a hand in a gloveIt's a beautiful noise
Yes it does
yes it does.And it's a sound that I love
And it makes me feel good
What a beautiful noiseJust like a hand in a glove
Comin' up from the parkYes it does
yes it does.
It's the song of the kids
And it plays until darkWhat a beautiful noise
It's the song of the carsComin' into my room
On their furious flightsAnd it's beggin' for me
But there's even romanceJust to give it a tune.
In the way that they dance

Another sunny afternoon
Denies the worried look that's on my face
Connected through the years
It somehow took us both in separate ways
Was on a day that time forgot
Another day that time forgot
Oh no
Oh no
Should've held you till the storm went by
We had nothing left to hang on to
Too many words you said
But not the words connected me to you
Just another day that time forgot
Another day that time forgot
Oh no
Oh no
The two of us we both just let it fly
Didn't see it leave; didn't even try.
I only know that we were moving on
Suddenly it's gone; Heaven knows why.
Oh no
Oh no
Don't have a reason I can give
At least not one that I can understand
Just somehow disappeared
It slipped beneath the fingers on my hand
It was on a day that time forgot
Another day that time forgot
Oh no
Oh no
We had it once, but we just let it fall
Should've held it close; could've had it all.
I'm thinking about the life we could have made
Lost the one we had somewhere along the way
Oh no
Oh no
I woke up all alone again
A half-remembered dream inside my head
You took me through the day
Followed me at night into my bed
It was a day that time forgot
Another day that time forgot
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no

Tied by love to you, but I was tied too strong
Still I'm afraid of knowing what leaving means
I know I lived for you, and all I tried to do
You were the keeper of my dreams
Open wide these prison doors
Take these chains from around my heart
Make believe that I'm no more
And don't mind when I depart
Need to find another place
Where love is not just tossed away
If you really care for me
Open wide these prison doors
And set me free
You were always caring, always warm and kind
But that was long ago, when love was blind
And I don't want to hurt you, the way that I've been hurt
But if I stay I'll lose my mind
Open wide these prison doors
Take these chains from around my heart
Make believe that I'm no more
And don't mind when I depart
Need to find another place
Where love is not just tossed away
If you really care for me
Open wide these prison doors
And set me free
Time is always moving
While we're here standing still
I love you even though I'm leaving
And maybe I always will
But, open wide these prison doors
Take these chains from around my heart
Make believe that I'm no more
And don't mind when I depart
Need to find another place
Where love is not just tossed away
And if you really care for me
Open wide these prison doors
And set me free
If you really care for me
Open wide these prison doors
And set me free
Set me free, yeah
Come on and set me free
Set me free

Good morning. I love you. Now that you're here where you belong,I want to be the man you need.Just tell me you love me,Because I need to hear it, too.Just let me be the one you carry deep inside of you.
I need you beside me; the road is so long.You run through my heart like the words of a bitter-sweet song.I'd travel the whole world, across the earth, around the sunif I could be the one you carry deep inside of you.

You got to take your time now, If love is gonna take you by the hand.You need to take your time, though, 'Cause love is not a thing you can command.There's got to be a reason, got to be a closeness.It's got to have a fellin' only you can know.And when you find love, hold on tight.Don't ever waste another night.You're gonna make it through in spite of your fears.Can anybody hear me?Is anybody out there?
I listen to the river and hear the river callin' out her name.I'm tryin' to forgive her, but nothin's ever gonna be the same.There's got to be a reason, got to be a closeness.It's got to have a fellin' only you can know.And when you find love, hold on tight.Don't ever waste another night.You're gonna make it through in spite of your fears.Can anybody hear me?Is anybody out there?

I'm singing this song for the men in your prisons and jails
The junkies and juicers and every good man that fails
And for every outlaw who's got no place left to go
The good lord loves you
The good lord loves you
The good lord, he loves you so
And I'm singing this song for the leaders of every land
For every political and every military man
And for every mother and child in their kingdoms below
The good lord loves you
The good lord loves you
The good lord, he loves you so
Ain't it sad that we're doing so bad
I'm singing this song with the feeling that's deep in my heart
And I wish I could tear down the walls that keep us apart
I wish I could tear down the walls so the feelings can grow
The good lord loves you
The good lord loves you
The good lord, he loves you so
The good lord loves you
The good lord loves you
The good lord loves you
The good lord loves you
The good lord, he loves you so
Ain't it sad that we're doing so bad

Vanilla Soup, a double scoop please.... No
Maybe I won't, maybe I will, maybe I'll have

And though it sounds a little strange but
you gotta eat it with gloves or your hands will turn green
Ah but porcupine pie, porcupine pie, porcupine pie

I do believe I'm gonna try some and

Mountains Of Love
Someday, make your way down the coast of South Africa.
There you will say
they're in need of a mountain of love.
Sail away, and you reach all the way down to China.
Don't look away.
They're in need of what we've plenty of.
Got enough to surround every living thing we see.
There's enough to include even you and me.
So just keep on tryin',
climbin' to the top.
Check out that view from above.
At the top,
there's mountains of love.
In the end,
Love is what I'm talkin' of.
'Round the bend,
there's mountains of love,
mountains of love.
I know from the glow that I see in the smallest child
that we can go higher still than we ever dreamed of.
Don't you know
there are magical places inside the heart?
Come on, let's go.
We got room on that mountain of love,
room enough to surround every living thing we seel
room enough to include even you and me.
So just keep on tryin',
climbin' to the top.
Check out that view from above.
At the top, there's mountains of love.
In the end,
love always seems to shine through.
'Round the bend
for me and for you,
there's mountains of
(Love's all right, mountains made of love.
Love's all right, mountains of love.)
(Love's all right, mountains made of love.
Love's all right, mountains of love.)
To the top,
let's check out that view from above.
It never stops.
There's mountains of love.
In the end, love always seems to shine through,
'round the bend for me and for you.
At the top, top of those mountains of love...
At the top,
got more than enough.

After all these years
After all these tears between us
Still I couldn't find
Someone half as right as you
And each time I stop to think
What it is I really need
Here's what I conclude
All I really need is you
Just say what you want to say
You don't have a chance in the world
Can I, knowing how I've tried
Still come close to losing you, girl
When you are my world
Have I spent so many years
Trying but in vain to tell you
Don't you know it's true
All I really need is you
How was I to know
We'd have ended here
Where we finally did
You tied you life to mine Once upon a starry night
And when someone asks of me
What it is that I believe
Say, I believe it's true
All I really need is you
Just say what you want to say
We don't have a chance in the world
Can I, knowin' how I've tried
Still come close to losing you, girl
When you are my world
Have I spent so many years
Tryin' but in vain to tell you
Feelings come and go
Me, I'm never gonna ever let you go
Promise you I'm gonna always love you so

It was more than a matter of knowin'
Or the words that were finally said
It was more than the comin' or goin'
Or the things that were made in your head
It was more than a matter of wantin'
And needin' the foolish things I gave
As if I ever cared to make you cry
Could've been right to know that it wasn't
Yet you knew I was sorry
I dared to make you cry
As if I would
As if I could
As if I tried
But the words that were finally spoken
Like the thoughts that remain in my soul
And hearts that were finally broken
And embrace that never be hold
And the words that I never told you
But I told you, the foolish things I said
As if I ever cared to make you cry
I could've been right to know that I wasn't
Yet you knew that I was sorry
I dared to make you cry
As if I would
As if I could
As if I tried
As if I ever cared to make you cry
I could've been right to know that I wasn't
Yet you knew that I was sorry
I dared to make you cry
Could have been strong but the words didn't rhyme

Hey,
Lady, she got painted eyes
Have a way of talking to you
Cut your heart out for the prize
While the bitch sings hallelujah

Surely, you know
I bleed when I get stoned
Na na na na na na na na na na

Rocks and knots and I'm half crazy
Get to dream 'bout bein' dead
But I ain't been that lucky lately
Lordy,
Well I'm made of blood and bone
Na na na na na na na na na na
Surely you know
I bleed when I get stoned
Na na na na na na na na na na

Two broken hearts lonely looking houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives
Angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
Its my belief
Pride is the chief cause in the decline
In the number of husbands and wives
A woman and a man
A man and a woman
Some can and some can't and some can't....

Hey, it takes a lot of time
If you want it right
Takes a lot of time
And it takes believin'
You gotta see the signs
And you'll get it right
I see the signs in your eyes
And I know that it's
You, baby, baby
Ooh, baby, baby now
You, baby, baby
Only a blind man would leave you behind
But not me
It takes a lot of lovin' to make it good
Takes a lot of lovin', believe it, babe
I'm sayin' it again so it's understood
I believe in the things I keep seein' in
You, baby, baby
Ooh, baby, baby now
You, baby, baby
Only a blind man would leave you behind
But not me

My baby's Cryin' on a Saturday night
She thinks that nothin's ever gonna go right
But she'll make it
And we'll make it
There's no way that
I'm leavin' the best part of me
There was a time I wanted out on my own
I even thought that I'd be ok alone
But oh, baby
I know, baby
That I'd be walkin'
Away from the best part of me
Chorus:
You are the best part of me
The best that I am
Or ever will be
You baby, your the part
That allows me
To open my heart
And let love inside
I want you to know
What I've always
known
You are the best
Part of me
Love isn't easy and
It's not always kind
Sometimes you only
Have to make
Up your mind
That you can make it
and you can make it
I know I made it
By keeping the best part of me
My baby's cryin' 'cause she cant run away
And if she could it wouldn't last for a day
And she knows it
And I know it
It just shows that
She is the best part of me
It's true baby, your the best part of me
The best that I am
Or ever will be
You baby, you're the part that allows me
To open my heart
And let love inside
I want you to know
What I've always known
You're the best part of me

Heaven can wait for a while
'Cause I've got some things left to do
And I'm going home to a place
I've been gone from too long
Without being with you
Heaven can wait for a while
I've got some things left to see
Take me along to a place
I've been gone from too long
Without being with you
And heaven can wait till I do
Heaven can wait for a while
I've got some things left to say
And I'm going home to a place
I've been gone from too long
Without being with you
Heaven can wait for a while
'Cause I've got some things left to do
And I'm going home to a place
I've been gone from too long
Without being with you
And heaven can wait till I do
And heaven can wait till I do
You do one Richie....

You never close your eyes anymore
When I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness
Like before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it, baby
But baby, baby
I know it
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, whoa...
Now there's no welcome look
In your eyes when I reach for you
And now you're starting to
Criticize little things I do
It makes me just feel like crying, baby
'Cause baby,
Something beautiful is dying
You lost that lovin' feeling
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, whoa
Baby, baby,
I get down on my knees
And pray to you
If you would only love me
Like you used to do
We had a love, a love,
A love you don't find everyday
So don't, don't, don't
Don't let it slip away
Bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone
And I can't go on, whoa...
You've lost the lovin' feeling
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost the lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone
Bring back that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone

YOU'VE GOT YOUR TROUBLES
Fortunes
I see that worried look upon your face,
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
She's found somebody else to take your place;
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
I too have lost my love today,
All of my dreams have flown away.
Now just like you I sit and wonder why;
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
You need some sympathy, well so do I,
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
She used to love me, that I know,
And it don't seem so long ago
That we were walking, that we were talking
The way that lovers do.
And so forgive me if I seem unkind,
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
(Counter: And it must seem to you, my friend
That I ain't got no pity for you,
Well, that ain't true,
You see I love that little girl, little girl, little
girl.)
I'd help another place, another time,
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
You've got your troubles, I got mine.

You're so sweet,
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,
And I guess it shows.
Mary Lou Jane (oh Mary Lou Jane)
Oh what a fine name (what a fine name)
And you're nothing like them females
From Dover City
(nothin' at all)
Front teeth missin'
(hee, you got your front teeth missin')
And that's fine for kissin' (oh, feels so good)
You're more loyal than my dog Sam,
And twice as pretty (and that's goin' some)
You're so sweet,
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,
and I guess it shows.
I can't forget (oh, no)
When we first met (first)
Well, it was bull wrestling time
At the county fair rodeo
(or is it ro-de-o)
And I almost cried (wept)
When you took first prize
(first prize, sweetheart)
Well,
You just looked them critters in the face
And down they'd go
(they never had a chance)
You're so sweet,
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,
and I guess it shows.
You're so sweet,
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,

Loved her so
Then one day
She said she loved someone else instead
I'm goin' out of my head
'Cause over and over
I just hear the last words she said:
You'll forget
You'll forget that you loved me
And you'll stop thinkin' of me
You'll forget what you feel right now
But how?
There she stood,
The hands that once set me burning,
They were as cold as clay
And as she looked away
She said in the strangest voice the words
I never thought she'd say:
You'll forget,
You'll forget that you loved me
And you'll stop thinkin' of me
You'll forget what you feel right now
But how?
You know when you needed me
I was right there by your side.
But now you don't need me no more,
it's a fast goodbye, don't you cry
You'll forget,
You'll forget that you loved me
And you'll stop thinkin' of me
You'll forget
What you feel right now, but how?
You'll forget
You'll forget that you loved me
And you'll stop thinkin' of me
You'll forget what you feel right now
But how?

Look at us now,
Part of it all
In spite of it all,
We're still around
Lovers in love,
Just like we were
Being apart's a lonely sound
When people ask how we stay together
I say you never let me down
And you make it feel like Christmas
Even when things go wrong
I hear the sound of Christmas in your song
All year long
Yes, you know that I do
Look at the sun
Shining on me
Nowhere could be a better place
Lovers in love,
That's what we are
I reach for that star out there in space
'Cause you make it feel like Christmas
Even when things go wrong
I hear the sound of Christmas in your song
All year long
And you know that's it true
Sleepy we are,
But happy together
Sounds of forever
Greet the day
So wake up the kids,
Put on some tea
Light up the tree,
It's Christmas day
Yeah, you make it feel like Christmas
Even when things go wrong
I hear the sound of Christmas in your song
All year long
Yes you know that I do
All year long
Light up the tree,
It's Christmas time

Words By: Neil Diamond, Doug Rhone, Hadley Hockensmith
The more you explain, the less I feel assured
The closer I came, the more you'd hide
And here's what I think, we better get in touch
Wish I could tell you everything was alright
Wish everything was alright
The bigger the thrill, the more we're gonna pay
You figure the bill, it's gonna bite
The higher we get, the more we're hanging on
Wish I could tell you everything was alright
Wish everything was alright
And I know, I know, I know I love you
We can make it what we want it to be
You know, you know, you know you love me
So ask yourself where does it lead?
The more we expect the less we're gonna find
Whatever we get is gonna go
And here's what I think we better stay in touch
Wish I could tell you everything was alright
Wish everything was alright
Wish I could tell you everything was alright, yeah
Wish everything was alright

Sleigh bells ring are you listening
In the lane snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
We'll pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man
But you can do the job
When you're in town
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow
We can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun
With mister snowman
Until the other kids
Come knock him down
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
We'll be walking in a winter,
Winter wonderland

Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moments pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sight?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night
Meets the the morning sun?
I'd like to know if your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow?

The sun is shining
The grass is green
The orange and palm trees sway.
There's never seen such a day
In Beverly Hills L.A.
But it's December the 24th
And I am longing to be up North.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the tree tops glisten,
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry and bright.
And may all your Christmases be white.
I'm dreaming of that white Christmas
There's nothing like
That newly fallen snow
Treetops glisten,
And children all listen
Hear some sleigh bells in the snow.
You know it's so
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry and bright.
And may all your Christmases be
May every Christmas Day be
May all your Christmases
Be any color you like
Where the treetops glisten,
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry,
Merry and bright.
And may all your Christmases be
May all your Christmases be
May all your Christmases be white

Laying there in bed, all the lights down low
You don't want to see or talk to anyone you know
It seems like yesterday, you held her in your arms
Then you went away like all those other times
Now you're feeling all alone and empty
Like you wanna fade away
Close your eyes and then make time fly
But then, it don't work that way
All your friends trying to help you over
You just wanna be alone
I don't know why that cold wind blows
But there is the thing that I know
Heartaches gonna find you no matter where you go
When you miss the one you love
Sad songs are all you gonna hear on the radio
When you miss the one you love
Gray skies are there to remind you
The blues are never behind you
When you miss your love
I know that you wish you could be with her right now
Living out your dreams, not passing thru this lonely town
And down this travelling road, the only life you've known
You swear you're gonna give it up, but the road goes on and on

If you decide to say goodbye
You're gonna make my poor heart cry
Oh,what, what what can it be
But time will tell if you'll be true
Or if you gonna leave me blue
So I'll just wait-ait and see
If you never gonna kiss me again
And you never hug me again
Oh, oh
What will I do
Oh my dear, I really try
When you're out with another guy
But I can't help feeling sad
This hurt I have within my heart
Is there because you wanna part
Why must you treat me bad
Why do you wanna leave
You make my poor heart grieve
Oh, oh
What will I do
And if you do remain
You'll set me heart a flame
Sure as the stars above
You are the one I love
Oh my dear I really try
When you're out with another guy
But I can't help feeling sad
This hurt I have within my heart
Is there because you wanna part
Why must you treat me bad
Why do you wanna leave
You make my poor heart grieve
Oh, oh
What will I do

When this old world
Starts a getting me down
And people are just too much
For me to face
I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares
Just drift right into space
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below
Don't bother me,
Let me tell you now
When I come home
Feeling tired and beat
I'll go up
Where the air is fresh and sweet
I'll get far away
From the hustling crowd
And all that rat-race noise
Down in the street
On the roof,
That's the only place I know
Where you just have to wish
To make it so
Let's go up on the roof
Look at those stars darlin'
At night the stars
They put on a show for free
And, darling,
You can share it all with me
I keep on telling you
That right smack dab
In the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble proof
And if this world
Starts a getting you down
There's room enough for two
Up on the roof
Way up on the roof

You're not a dream
You're not an angel
You're a woman
I'm not a king
I'm a man
Take my hand
We'll make a space
In the lives that we planned
And here we'll stay
Until it's time for you to go
Yes we're different worlds apart
We're not the same
We laughed and played
At the start like in a game
You could have stayed outside my heart
But in you came
And here you'll stay
Until it's time for you to go
Don't ask why
Don't ask how
Don't ask for ever, honey
Love me, now
This love of mine
Had no beginning it has no end
I was an oak now I'm a willow
Now I can bend
And though
I'll never in my life see you again
Still I'll stay
Until it's time for you to go
Don't ask why of me
Don't ask how of me
Don't ask forever of me honey
Love me Love me
You're not a dream
You're not an angel
You're a woman
I'm not a king
I'm a man
Take my hand
We'll make a space
In the lives that we planned
And here we'll stay
Until it's time for you to go

If there was time enough for me
To do it all, again
I promise you, that I would find
A way to make it right,
This time
This time I'd love you even more
I never thought, I could
But now I know, that I would find
A way to make it right
This time
Over again, I closed my eyes,
And I keep reliving it over again
It's over but then
I've got my dream
Don't no one dare tell me no
And you'd be mine this time for sure
Only got to show I care the way I do
And I'd be there this time for you.
If there was time enough to say
The things I feel inside
I promise you, I'd find a way
A way to say them right
This time
Over again, I closed my eyes
And I keep reliving it
Over again
It's over but then
I've got my dream
Don't no one dare tell me no
And I'll be there this time for sure
'Cause I'm not the same man
That I was before
And I'm nothing at all
If I'm not yours
I only got to show I care the way I do
And I'll be there this time for you
Yes, I'll be there this time for you

The way,
as far as I can see it,
I need to find the way to make you mine.
And someday,
when you least expect it,
I hope you find the way
to love me in kind.
The way
leading to your heart
can never go wrong.
Leading to your soul,
no road is too long.
And now,
having said I love you,
I've got to find the way to say that I care.
And the way,
having been decided,
is for me to stay
and always be there.
The way
leading to your heart
can never go wrong.
Leading to your soul,
no road is too long.
Be a part of me;
that's all I can say.
I may not know the words,
but I know the way to you.
The way leading to your heart
can never go wrong.
Leading to your soul,
no road is too long.
Be a part of me;
that's all I can say.
I'm a part of you,
and I know that you are the way.
Just need the way to find you.
I need to find, I need to find, I need to find, I need to find the way to
you.
You are the way. You are the way. You are the way. You are the way,
the way for me.

[A instrumental melody of three songs:]
Lonely Looking Sky
Dear Father

Had to go, had to know all
There was out there.
Now I'm back, I know that, girl
It's all right here.
Girl I took
The long way home, it's true,
The long way home to you, yeah
And I just want to say,
I'm home to stay.
Ran a lot
Don't know what I
Thought I would find.
Town to town, all I found
Was you on my mind
Girl I took
The long way home, it's true,
The long way home to you, yeah
And I just want to say,
I'm home to stay.
(instrumental-piano)
Girl I took
The long way home, it's true,

And I just want to say,
I'm home to stay.
Stay,
I'm home to stay
Been a long way, long way home
Long way home, long way home

Songs to make you free
And songs to take you to another time
Forgotten reasons that are made of rhyme
For you and me
The songs of life
That somehow make us free
And songs to fill the heart
Like quiet candles on a winter's night
They touch the space
That lies between you and I
And I will sing
The songs of love
That speak to you and me
Then wake the sleeping child
And let me sing to you of other times
And let me make your dreams
As sweet as mine
And I will bring
The gift of song
That only makes us free

The first Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields as they lay
In fields where they
Lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night
That was so deep.
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east, beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came
From the country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star
Wherever it went.
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Born is the King of Israel

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
And everybody knows
A turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
And goodies on his sleigh
And ev'ry mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so,
I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Altho' it's been said
Many times, many ways;
'Merry Christmas to you'
And so,
I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Altho' it's been said
Many times, many ways;
'Merry Christmas to you'
'Merry Christmas to you'

Hey, listen to the working man
And can you hear the dream
That resides in his soul?
And when you hear that poor man singin'
Can you hear a story
That cries to be told?
Wanna hear you say 'Oh yeah'
I need to hear you say 'Oh yeah'
It's time to stand up and be counted
These are the days of our beginnings
This ain't the time for the faint of heart
No don't wanna lose
The chance we are given
These are the best years of our lives
The very best years of our lives
Oh yeah, hear the song of womankind
Carried 'til she ached
Now she's takin' her stand
Says she's got the right to be
Right beside and equal with ev'ry man
Wanna hear you say 'Oh yeah'
Need to hear you say 'Oh yeah'
It's time to stand up and be counted
These are the days of our beginnings
This ain't the time for the faint of heart
No don't wanna lose
The chance we're given
These are the best years of our lives
The very best years of our lives
Say 'oh yeah'
Say it now, and just say it right
If you truly believe it,
You'll be saying it right.
So say 'oh yeah'
Gotta say 'oh yeah'
It's time to stand up and be counted
Better days are just beginning.
There ain't no place to run and hide to
Don't throw away
The chance we're given.
These are the best years of our lives
The very best years of our lives
Say 'Oh yeah'
'Oh yeah'
Say 'Oh yeah'
Say 'Oh yeah'
These are the best years of our lives

Each night we meet and talk about you
We reminisce about the things
You used to do
We just sit around broken hearted
'Cause all of us are still in love with you
Oh, yes we're ten lonely guys
With ten broken hearts
We thought your lies were true
Yes we're ten lonely guys
With tears in our eyes
Ten lonely guys who still love you
Eddie was the first one to hold you
Jerry was the first to taste your kiss
Then came Lackie, Stan, Richie,
Neil, Bobby, Wes, and Cliff
And Larry was the last one on your list
Oh, yes we're ten lonely guys
With ten broken hearts
We thought your lies were true
Yes we're just ten lonely guys
With tears in our eyes
Ten lonely guys who still love you
The footsteps at the door
Can mean just one thing
Someone else has been a fool for you
One more guy who wants to tell his story
One more guy
Who knows what we've been through
Oh, yeah we're ten lonely guys
With ten broken hearts
We thought your lies were true
Yes we're just ten lonely guys
With tears in our eyes
And tonight we'll set a chair
For someone new

Written by: neil diamond and gretchen peters
I got worries by the ton
Getting kansas only one
Over taxed and alimony
Tired of eating fried baloney
I got burdens on my shoulders
Dying young and growing older
There’s some brain cells I’m missing
But despite it all, I’d like to say
I’m gonna have a good day today
Gonna have a good time anyway
Put it all behind me, lay it all away
Gonna be a good day today
Bills and pills and former wives
Past estates and former lives
Bank account is overdrawn
Had a ? ? ? and hairline’s gone
Hearing voices in my head
Saying I should have stayed in bed
Doc just died but what the heck
Nothing worse can happen anyway
So I’m gonna have a good day today
Me, I’m gonna have a good time anyway
Put it all behind me, lay it all away
Gonna be a good day today
Pulled my back and wrecked my car
Girlfriend stole my vcr
Letter came from sixty minutes
Saying they wanna put me in it
Tell me my career just died
Years ago I might have cried
Now I’m just too old to do it
Maybe true but screw it anyway
Me, I’m gonna have a good day today
And I’m gonna have a good time anyway
Put it all behind me, lay it all away
Gonna be a good day today
Hey I’m gonna have a good day today
Me, I’m gonna have a good time anyway
Put it all behind me, lay it all away
Gonna be a good day today

The first time
Caught you stayin' out late
With some bad boys
The first time
And you got mad
When I asked you to explain it.
Say it isn't so,
I need you to say it isn't so
And I'll believe it
Say it isn't so
Just say it isn't so
And that I'm dreamin'
You said 'Take care of me'
You begged me now
'Take care of me'
And I believed it
'Take care of me'
It's me or nothin' girl
'Take care of me'
The next time,
I was out by myself at the movie
That was the last time
Found you there
With some fast talkin' smoothie
Say it isn't so
I need you to say
That I don't see what I'm seein'
Say it isn't so
Just say it isn't true,
That you would cheat me
You said 'Take care of me'
You kept on beggin' me
'Take care of me'
And I believed it, yeah
'Take care of me'
Now it's your turn to take care of me
Don't beg me one more time
'Take care of me'
You said it now
'Take care of me'
That you needed me
'Take care of me'
And I believed your lies
'Take care of me'
You know that now you've got to....
'Take care of me'
You gonna miss me honey
You gonna know it too
Forget the high times
You said 'Take care of me'
Take care of me
Take care of me
Take care of me
You did me dirty
You treated me bad
Look what I am today, baby....

Hey, Sunday Sun
Let's go walkin'
And we'll talk about some things
Kick my shoes off,
And we'll dream about some dreams
Got to get away when the world
Gets on me
Kids in the park
Don't take long before
I'm laughing along with them
Almost makes me think
Those times can come again
Gets me feelin' good and yet sad
At the same time
Sunday Sun, when you're round
Get to feelin' like I wanna smile
Weekday strings, tie me down
But this one day, baby, I can fly
I can fly
Time on my mind,
Make the most of it,
Just me and a Sunday Sun
Liable to forget that Monday ever comes
Gonna sit around
Watchin' bees chasin' honey
Sunday Sun, when you're 'round
Get to feelin' like I wanna smile
Weekday strings, tie me down
But this one day, baby, I can fly
I said I can fly
Hey Sunday Sun
Let's go walkin'
And we'll talk about some things
I kick my shoes off
And we'll dream about some dreams
Come on Sunday Sun,
We got some plans to make
We go walking.....

Free life
Scratch on my head
Pick me a tune
Sing it like a black man
Oh, oh, oh, mm, mm, mm
Aw Free life
You know my name
I'll leave on a light
And burn it in the window
Oh, oh, oh, mm, mm, mm
Talking 'bout round, brown ladies
And maybe some wine
All be fine
If she ain't no belle, hell, it's okay
I won't pay no mind
We'll just have us a time
Free life
I'll wait right here
But I ain't no kid
Believin' in the bible
Oh, oh, oh, mm, mm, mm
Ah, free life

Babe, I feel like a straw in the wind
Don't know where I stand
Can't say where I'm goin'
Or where I've been,
Or even if I'm your man
Ah, Girl, I never know
Whether I'm out or in
Oh, oh, I'm cold
And I'm a straw in the wind
Hey, hey, hey
Sometimes I feel like a ship on the sea
Tossin' and turnin' all night
I know if you hold your hand out to me
Yeah, everything could be alright
Ah, Girl, I never know
Whether I'm out or in
Oh, oh,
I'm cold and I'm a straw in the wind
Ah, Girl, I never know
Whether I'm out or in
Oh, oh,
I'm cold and I'm a straw in the wind
Yeah, I'm a straw in the wind

Stargazer, you with your head in the heavens,
you'll never get by walkin' that high off the ground.
Moon dreamer, I've been around and I've seen it;
the higher you get--the harder they let you down.
You pay your dues, it seems forever.
And if you're clever you may be in for a while,
then you're out of style.
Stargazer, probably think I'm crazy,
and haven't you heard one single word I've said?
Now, I don't want to burst your bubble, but you got trouble.
Don't you know the higher the top the longer the drop.
Hey, Stargazer.
Now, I don't want to burst your bubble, but you got trouble.
Don't you know the higher the top the longer the drop.

Melinda was mine
'Til the time
That I found her
Holding Jim
Loving Him
Then Sue came along
Loved me strong
That's what I thought
Me and Sue
But that died too
Don't know that I will
But until I can find me
The girl who'll stay
And won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man
Solitary man
I've had it to here
Bein' where
Love's a small word
Part-time thing
Paper ring
I know it's been done
Havin' one
Girl who'll love me
Right or wrong
Weak or strong
Don't know that I will
But until I can find me
The girl who'll stay
And won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man

Smokey Lady
Spend your time
Makin' full grown men a full grown baby
Move on, move on,
Move on, move on, move on
But I'm just settlin'
'Cause I've been gettin' what I ain't had lately
Smokey Lady, what you do to me
Got me goin'
Night time women
Half not carin', half not knowin'
Come on, come on,
Come on, come on, come on
Have a good time flyin', half die tryin'
Come on and take me Smokey Lady,
See what you can see
Smokey Lady run before me,
Run behind me
Where you're goin'
Come on, come on,
Come on, come on, come on
Have good time flyin', half die tryin'
Come on and take me Smokey Lady,
See what you can see
Smokey Lady

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
It is a special one,
It's never seen the sun
It only comes out
When the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming
It's growing in the street
Right up through the concrete
Soft and dreamin'
I found a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
With eyes as black as coal
That look down in my soul
And starts a fire there
And then I lose control
I have to beg your pardon
I'm going to pick that rose
And watch her as she grows
In my garden
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
It is a special one,
It's never seen the sun
It only comes out
When the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming
I'm going to pick that rose
And watch her as she grows
In my garden

Songs of life, they ring
From quiet steeples to distant valleys
Along the hillsides of lovers' hearts
Of lovers' hearts
Come sing you songs of life
And they will keep you
From ever wanting, from ever needing
For ever more, for ever more
Oh, and when the moment's true
It sings so softly to me and you
You know it's true
So I sing my songs of life
That I will hold you inside forever
And you will know me
And I'll be yours and you'll be mine
Oh, and when the moments true
They sing so softly to me and you
You know they do, you know they do
And I'll sing my songs life
That I may hold you, inside forever
And you will know me,
And I'll be yours and you'll be mine

Someday, baby
It's gonna be alright
Someday, maybe, but baby, not tonight
There's a gleam in your eyes
That's for some other guy not for me now
He'll be kissing the lips
That I just get to kiss in my dreams now
But someday baby, yeah (uh huh)
Someday love
Someday, baby
It's gonna be just me
One day baby, well, you just wait and see
Girl, you'll open your eyes
And then you'll realize what I'm sayin'
I've got lovin' to give for as long as I live
He's just playin'
But someday baby, yeah (mmmmm)
Someday love
Someday baby, someday love
Someday baby
Someday love

Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing
Ring ting tingle-ing too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling 'You hoo'
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap let's go
Just look at the snow
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with the song
Of a wintry fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together like
Birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
There's a birthday party
At the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs
We love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace
While we watch the chestnuts pop
There's a happy feeling
Nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee
And the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print
By Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives
Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing
Ring ting tingle-ing too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Come on ,it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Oh yeah, lovely weather
For a sleigh ride with you, with you
Me and you
Snuggle up closer babe

Something in your eyes tonight
Told me to stay
It's been so long,
But to see you this way
Makes me want to hold you
Tell you that I'm sorry
Tell you that I need to
Be with you tonight
Baby, won't you let me in
We tried it apart
But here we are together again
Makes me know I've missed you
Makes me know I need you
Tell you how I want to
Be with you tonight
And now I finally understand
How much I've missed
You loved me once
Please, love me once again
Can I sleep with you tonight?
Let's try it again
For one last time for the rest of our lives
Baby, be forgiving
What's been done is done now
Let's you and me be one
Come, sleep with me tonight
Oh, yeah
Come sleep with me
And stay til tomorrow
Or maybe forever
Just stay
Come sleep with me tonight
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Together
Come sleep with me tonight

[Instrumental]

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air
There's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on ev'ry street corner you'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day
[Spoken:]
Yes, I remember
The silver bells of my youth.
From the streets of Brooklyn
They rang up through my window,
And made me smile
Strings of street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the mallers rush home
With their treasures
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle
You'll hear Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day
Soon it will be Christmas day

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia
Christ the Savior, is born!
Christ the Savior, is born!
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Shot Down,
Was a proud young bird
Flying high in the sky
I was shot down
Uh uh huh
I got 'round
Any sweet piece of pie I could take
I would buy
Now I'm shot down
She turned me out slammed the door.
Why I keep coming back I don't know.
I don't know.
I want her,
She's a four cornered girl
In a three cornered world
And I want her.
Uh huh I love her,
And I almost believe
I get down on my knees.
'Cause I love her.
Well can't you see my epitaph.
Shot down
By the one girl he couldn't have
Not have
Shot down
Baby I was shot down, come on
Shot down
Baby I was shot down
Shot down,
Baby I was shot down, come on
Shot down, I say, shot down
Whooo, shot down
Baby I was shot down
Shot down
Baby I was shot down.....

Scotch on the rocks
You at my side
Pour me a drink
Nowhere to hide
Love on the loose
Said that I lied
Scotch on the rocks
(Soda on the side)
You in my arms
Me in your hair
Pour me a drink
Tell me you care
Love on the loose
Said that I lied
Scotch on the rocks
Soda on the side
De de de de de de de de dum
De de de de de de de de de...

You can dance-every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye,
And let him hold you tight
You can smile, every smile for the man
Who held your hand
Beneath the candle light
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin' save the last dance for me
Oh, I know that the music's fine
Like sparklin' wine,
Go and have your fun
Laugh and sing,
But when we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin' save the last dance for me
Baby don't you know I love you so
Can't you feel it when we touch
I will never never let you go
I love you oh so much
You can dance, go and carry on
Till the night is gone
And it's time to go
If he asks, if you're all alone
Can he take you home
You better tell him no
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
And you better save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me

Maybe tonight, just for this moment
We'll feel the same things, we did before
Just close your eyes, and let me show you
You'll be my reason, and I'll be yours
Remeber me
Well, I'm the boy that stood in line for
Have you got just a little time for me tonight
I'll make you feel alright
Hey do you remember me
Remember when
The world was ours for just one evening
Felt so warm, it's hard believing
That it would end
And here we are again
Hey do you remember me
Remember how
Music filled the empty spaces
And took us off to distant places
We'd never seen
Do you remember now
I still got my song and I can sing it
My guitar plays beneath my fingers
Warm, baby warm, baby warm
Say, do you remember me
Well, I'm the boy you gave your heart to
Don't you think we've been apart too long this time
But you've been on my mind
Say, do you remember me
Remember how
Music filled the empty spaces
And took us off to distant places
We'd never seen
Do you remember now
I still got my song and I can sing it
My guitar plays beneath my fingers
Warm, baby warm, baby warm
Say, do you remember me

Hello boys and girls
I got a story to tell you
about an unlikely hero
Dig it
Rudolph the red nose reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glowed
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
'Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?'
Then how the reindeer loved him,
As they shouted out with glee
'Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer
You'll go down in history!'
Yes you will
Yes you will
And just remember all you kids out there
If the other kids laugh at you
Just cause you're a little different
Hey, you could be just like Rudolph
A hero some day
An inspiration
You'll remember that now, won't you
C'mon and sing it with me
Rudolph the red nose reindeer,
Had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw it,
You would even say it glowed.
All of the other reindeer,
Used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph,
Join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say
'Rudolph with your nose so bright
Why don't you guide my sleigh tonight?'
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
'Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer
You'll go down in history!'
Yes you will
Yeah you will, Rudolph
You're a part of history now
And you can do it to boys and girls
Just be yourself
That's usually enough
Don't worry what people say
You know you're kinda terrific inside
Hey and by the way
Have a Happy Christmas
Come on now
Be a hero
Just like Rudolph
An inspiration
Just like Rudolph
Hey we love you Rudy

She got to want, yeah,
Ev'rything I can't give her
But all that she wants, yeah,

New grown plums are blue
Honey it's natural

When you were a little girl
You had a rag doll
The only doll you've ever owned
Now I love you
Just the way you loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown
And it gets stronger in every way
And it gets deeper baby, let me say
And it gets higher, day by day
Do I love you my, oh my
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby
Baby, baby, baby
When you were a young girl
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I'm gonna be as faithful
As that puppy
You know I'll never let you down
Cause it goes on and on
Like a river flows
And it gets bigger baby
And heaven knows
And it gets sweeter baby
As it grows
Do I love you my, oh my
River deep, mountain high
And if I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby
Baby, baby, baby

I should have known
You'd bid me farewell
There's a lesson
To be learned from this
And I learned it very well
And now I know
You're not the only starfish in the sea
If I never hear your name again,
It's all the same to me
And I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin'
Like a red rubber ball
You never cared for secrets I'd confide
For you I'm just an ornament
Somethin' for your pride
Always runnin', never carin'
That's the life you live
Stolen minutes of your time
Were all you had to give
And I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin'
Like a red rubber ball
The story's in the past
With nothin' to recall
I've got my life to live
And I don't need you at all
The roller coaster ride we took
Is nearly at an end
I bought my ticket with my tears
And that's all I'm gonna spend
And I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin'
Like a red rubber ball
Whoa, oh,
Oh I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin'
Like a red rubber ball

Primitive
Yeah, that's how I feel
When I look in your eyes,
I feel primitive
Uncivilized
Like something
From out of the heart of the jungle,
Uncivilized
Foolish mind
Believing that passion
Is somehow a rational thing at all
And that's when you take that fall
I'm livin' my life
In such a primitive way
I was doing alright before you came
I said okay,
You said okay, it's okay
Tentative
There's nothing about you
That's even the slightest bit tentative
But you remain,
Still you're a woman
And yet in a way representative
Of woman kind,
Believin' the notion
That love and devotion will rise again
Why can't we just be friends
I'm living my life in such a primitive way
I was doing alright before you came
I said okay,
It's okay, it's okay
Just look at me
Feel like a river of quivering jelly,
No man at all
'Cause no man would take that fall
I'm living my life in such a primitive way
I was doing alright before you came
I'm living my life in a primitive way
Yeah,
I was doing alright before you came
I'm living my life in a primitive way
Yeah, I was doing just fine
Before you came

Runnin', hidin'
Runnin', hidin' myself
From a bad and sad kinda hurt
It ain't gonna work, oh no
Alibi'n
I've been tryin' to make believe
I could leave love alone
Heart made of stone
Take love, why not
Give all the love that I got
But I never could before
You opened up, my door
Practically newborn,
Least that's the way I feel
Practically newborn,
I got me somethin' real
Anything you want,
Baby, you know I'll do
Yeah
Practically newborn,
Practically born for you
Me, I found me
Me, I found me a road
Take me out of my doubt and my fears
I said goodbye to tears
Stay around me, baby
Stay around me when I can't forget
What I let get me down
Look what I've found
Take love, why not
Give all the love that I got
I never could
before you opened up my door
Practically newborn,
Least that's the way I feel
Practically newborn,
I got me somethin' real
Anything you want,
Baby, you know I'll do
Yeah
Practically newborn,
Practically born for you.
Practically newborn,
least that's the way I feel
Practically newborn,
I got me somethin' real
Anything you want,
baby, you know I'll do
Yeah
Practically newborn,
practically born for you

One by one they came disillusioned
Lost their way on the road to life
Two by two they came in confusion
Somehow blind of the guiding light
One by one and two by two
Just begun, so much to do
One by one they break with tradition
Raise their flag
And they go their own way
Two by two they don't want permission
Find their thing and they're doin' okay
One by one, two by two
Just begun, so much to do
Yeah
One by one, two by two
Me and you
Spread the word to each generation
Truth will grow wherever it's told
Life is love in each incarnation
Love is free, it lives in the soul
Spread the words
Truth will grow
Life is love
And love is free, it lives in the soul
One by one, two by two
So much done, so much to do
One by one and two by two
We gonna make it through

We are two and two of us are one
I'm back on my feet again
Out on the street again
Looking for love
On the way to the sky
Some people moving up
Some people standing still
Some hold their hand out
And some people never will
Lover and liers
Consumed by the fires
Of too many dances
But not enough songs
Hear my song
We pity the poor one
The shy and unsure one
Who wanted it perfect
But waited too long
There's no way to count
Or to measure the cost
Of the innocence lost
On the way to the sky
You and I
And we are two and two of us are one
But maybe two of us can be enough
To get it done
Lover and liers
Consumed by the fires
Of too many dances
But not enough songs
We pity the poor one
The shy, the unsure one
Who wanted it perfect
But waited too long
Much too long
I'm back on my feet again
I'm out on the street again
Looking for love
On the way to the sky

Look at the way she's wavin' her sail
It's a wondrous sight to see
People hurry on down from every town
Have a look at the Robert E. Lee
Proud and strong and made to be free
Can't go wrong on the Robert E. Lee
Got the sun in my eyes
And the wind in my face
And it's good just to be alive
Gonna set out tonight for New Orleans
I won't sleep till I arrive
And if I'm lucky,
I'll find a young lady under the stars
And we'll dance the night away
Somebody wake me and say it's a dream
Leadin' me far from my home
And haven't you noticed
Despite what it seems
You can't deny it's you and I alone
Maybe spend my life just workin' the land
Maybe livin' from day to day
But I'm free tonight in New Orleans
If I like it, I just might stay
Proud and strong and made to be free
Can't go wrong on the Robert E. Lee
Got the sun in my eyes
And the wind in my face
And it's good just to be alive
Gonna set out tonight for New Orleans
I won't sleep till I arrive

O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
Oh morning stars together,
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the king
And peace to men on earth
How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven
Oh morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the king
And peace to men on earth
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight

O holy night!
The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night
Of the dear Saviour's birth
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
Till He appeared
And the Soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope
The weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees!
Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine,
O night when Christ was born
O night, O holy night,
O night divine!
O night divine,
O night when Christ was born
O night,
O holy night,
O night divine!
O night when Christ was born

New York City, look at me now
Being stared at from behind the plow
Mississippi, don't get annoyed
I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy
Didn't want the mayor to come
Or a big brass band to greet me
But then the reception I got
Well it wasn't what I had in mind
People gawkin' at me
Like I'm talkin' strange
Me, I ain't much better
'Cause I'm thinkin' the same
Hey boy
New York City, look at me now
Being stared at from behind the plow
Mississippi, don't get annoyed
I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy
Sayin' y'all and eatin' on grits
Talkin' as slow as molasses
And all the time just pointing at me
And the hair growin' over my ears
Gets my mind to wonderin'
Just who's right and who's wrong
I guess if they'll get used to the sideburns
I'll get used to the corn
Hey boy
New York City, look at me now
Being stared at from behind the plow
Mississippi, don't get annoyed
I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy
New York City, look at me now
Being stared at from behind the plow

With a Dixieland beat.

From a big oak tree.
Down from Mississippi
Down to New Orleans.

A little quiet conversation in the night
I need my time with you
It always seems to make
The day turn out alright
It's easy when I'm here with you
And when life is hard to understand
You reach out for the hand
Of someone who believes in you
And when I'm sure
I'm not worth anything at all
I need my time with you
When we're together,
All those troubles look so small
When nothing seems real
Then I need my time with you
Hard times,
City lights shine all over the sky
Don't you know in a dog eat dog world
We need each other to survive
I got to know if they storm the walls
I'll have you by my side
I turn the page
And see another restless day
I'll need my time with you
I'll keep believing
Till tomorrow fades away
Takes only that moment with you
It's never easy
When you got to keep it going
And your back's against the wall
As every dreamer knows,
It doesn't really matter
If you rise or if you fall
You can hand it all
To someone who believes in you
And cares for you,
And shares that time with you
I need and I want
And I love my time with you
I need my time with you

Oh yes,
Say it now
Morning has broken,
Like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken,
Like the first bird
Praise for the singing,
Praise for the morning
Praise for them springing
Fresh from the world
Sweet the rain's new fall,
Sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall,
On the first grass
Praise for the sweetness
Of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness
Where his feet pass
Mine is the sunlight,
Mine is the morning
Born of the one light,
Eden saw play
Praise with elation,
Praise every morning
God's re-creation
Of the new day

Monday, Monday
So good to me
Monday morning,
It was all I hoped it would be
Oh, Monday morning
Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That Monday evening
You would still be here with me
Monday, Monday
Can't trust that day
Monday, Monday
Sometimes it just turns out that way
Oh, Monday morning
You gave me no warning
Of what was to be
Oh, Monday, Monday
How could you leave and not take me
Every other day
Every other day,
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes
But whenever Monday comes
You can find me crying all of the time
Monday, Monday
So good to me
Monday morning
It was all I hoped it would be
Oh, Monday morning
Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That Monday evening
You would still be here with me
Every other day
Every other day
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes
But whenever Monday comes
You can find me crying all of the time
Monday, Monday
Can't trust that day
Monday, Monday
Turns out that way
Monday, Monday

The rich and the poor
The rich got a maid
And she takes all the kids to the zoo
It's true
The poor got no maid
So they pack up their kids and go, too
And I ask myself
What it's all about
If the things that I want,
Are the things that really count
Merry-go-round
Merry-go-round
Yeah, Merry-go-round
The good and the bad
Seems like there ain't much difference
Between the two
It's true
The bad cheat someone and get caught
While the good never do
And I'm wonderin'
And I start to doubt
I've been runnin' so long
Ain't it time to turn around
Merry-go -round
Merry-go-round
Yeah, Merry-go-round
And I ask myself
What it's all about
If the thinks that I want
Are the things that really count
Merry-go-round
Merry-go-round
Yeah, Merry-go-round
Merry-go-round
Merry-go-round
Merry-go-round

I stopped askin' why
Girl, the well's gone dry
Time to say the words I'm sayin'
And hurtin' you don't come easy
God only knows,
Hurtin' you don't come easy
But I need to go
Thought we had it once
But what was once, was once
Time can change
Both dreams and dreamers
And hurtin' you don't come easy
God only knows
Hurtin' you don't come easy
But I need to go
I need to find what I ain't found
I'll may be lookin' for it
Til the last day I'm alive
Don't ask me what I'll do
Don't ask me where I'm bound
I just know I'm not alive
Unless I can get up and try
And hurtin' you don't come easy
God only knows
Hurtin' you don't come easy
But I need to go.
Hurtin' you don't come easy
God only knows.....

Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible says
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas Day
Hark, now hear the angels sing
New king's born today,
And man will live for evermore,
Because of Christmas Day
Now Joseph and his wife, Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night
They found no place to bear the child
Not a single room was in sight
By and by they found a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary's little boy was born
Hark, now hear the angels sing
New king's born today
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day
While shepherds
Watched their flocks by night
They saw a bright new shining star
And heard the choir from heaven sing
The music seemed to come from afar
Trumpets sound and angels sing,
Listen to what they say
That man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day

[Instrumental]

Me and you
We were two
And we did anything we ever wanted to
You and I
We could fly
And we saw the world through lovers' eyes
For a while it was all that we needed
For a while we were love's own song
Tell me now
Tell me how this could ever happen
You are the one
That showed me right from wrong
Come on home to me, babe
You know that I love you
Remember you and me
We were love's own song
It was true
Love was new
And no one could ever tell us what to do
Love was ours
We took it far
Yeah, we even touched the sky
And outshined the stars
For a while we made love's sweet music
For a while we were love's own song
Tell me now
Tell me how this could ever happen
I turned around and reached for you
And baby, you were gone
Please don't make me plead
You know that I love you
I remember you and me
We were love's own song
Tell me now
Tell me how this could ever happen
I turned around and reached for you
And baby, you were gone
Please don't make me plead
You know that I love you
Remember you and me
We were love's own song
We were love's own song
We were love's own song
We were love's own song, yeah
Remember you and me
We were love's own song
We were love's own song
We were love's own song
We were love's own song, yeah
Remember you and me
We were love's own song
We were love's own song
We were love's own song
We were love's own song, yeah

Love's a thing that needs wants to thrive on
Then it grows
At least that's what I've been told
You can't love someone
If you find that all you get in return
Is a heart that's cold
They say you need love to love
You gotta have love to love
They all say it works that way
But if it's true
Why do I love you
Seems like you keep tryin' to break me
You do things designed just to make me cry
And I've heard if warm lips don't touch you
Love won't grow no matter
How much you try
They say you need love to love
You gotta have love to love
They all say it works that way
But if it's true
Why do I love you
They say you need love to love
You gotta have love to love
They all say it works that way
But if it's true
Why do I love you
Why do I love you
Like I do

I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth
You know that gypsy
With the gold cap tooth
She's got a pad down at 34th and Vine
Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion #9
I told her that I was a flop with chicks
I been this way since 1956
She looked at my palm
And she made a magic sign
She said
'Whatcha need is
A bottle of Love Potion #9'
She bent down and turned around
And gave me a wink
She said I'm gonna make it up
Right here in the sink
It smelled like turpentine
And looked like India ink
I held my nose
I closed my eyes
I took a drink
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissing everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop
Down at 34th and Vine
He broke my little bottle of
Love Potion #9
She bent down and turned around
And gave me a wink
She said I'm gonna make it up
Right here in the sink
It smelled like turpentine
And looked like India ink
I held my breath and closed my eyes
I took a drink
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop
Down on 34th and Vine
He broke my little bottle of
Love Potion #9
Love Potion #9
Love Potion #9
Love Potion #9
Love Potion #9

Out in the night
We can burn like the brightest sun
Out in the night
There's a place
That I know of where we can be eternally
Forever one
Lost among the stars
I saw you there
And that was all that mattered
You and only you
Among the stars
And nothing else would matter
Lost among the stars
I saw your face
And I knew that was where
I always want to be
Among the stars
Just you and me
Among the stars
Love can be like that
Can take you up
Or burn you out so badly
Lost among the stars
That summer night
When love will take you
When you're least prepared to go
I can't forget I love you so
Out in the night
We can burn like the brightest sun
Out in the night
There's a place
That I know of where we can be eternally
Forever one
Lost among the stars
The summer night
Can take you where you going
Lost among the stars
The summer night
Can take you where you going
Lost among the stars
The summer night
Can take you where you going
Lost among the stars
The summer night
Can take you where you going

I wake every morning to find you there
My lover still
I am deep in amazement
That you still care, you always will
My life depends on you
To always be there, always be mine
Know you can make that long hard climb.
How many others have come and gone
Along the way?
Count them,
All of them seem to be movin' on
But me, I've stayed the same
And I still want you.
I give you my heart, give you my soul
I give it all because, I know
It's a long hard climb
It's a long hard climb, and I know it
And I hope that it's not too late
And I know that
I'm lost if I should hesitate
Yes, I do believe in forever
It's a place that lover's find
And I know that we're both gonna make
That long hard climb
Late in the evening, there's the two of us
Alone and still
Dreamers caring to strongly to give it up
We never will,
'Cause our life depends on two
You give me your heart,
I give you my soul
We'll give it all because we know it's
A long hard climb
And I wanted to say that I love you.
And I hope that it's not too late
But I know that we're lost
If we should hesitate
And I do believe in forever
It's a place that lover's find
And I know that we're both gonna make
That long hard climb
Yes I know that we can make it
'Cause there's no way that you could fake it
Yes together we're both gonna make
That long hard climb

Say lady
Oh, you got to tell me
What it was came over you
You ain't the devil,
But you might as well be
For all the changes
That you put me through
Long gone, baby is what I'm gonna be
Long gone, pack up and save my soul
Hang on to whatever's left of me
Find me walkin' the long gone road
Want someone to believe in
Need someone that wants me, too
Don't want no lies and deceivin'
Girl, that's all I get from you
Long gone, baby is what I'm gonna be
Long gone, pack up and save my soul
Hang on to whatever's left of me
Find me walkin' the long gone road
Long gone, baby is what I'm gonna be
Long gone, pack up and save my soul
Hang on to whatever's left of me
Find me walkin' the long gone road
Long gone, baby is what I'm gonna be
Long gone, pack up and save my soul
Hang on to whatever's left of me
Find me walkin' the long gone road

(Sung with Rosemary Butler) Written by: Sandy Knox and Steve Rosen
Love never doubts or suffers or cries
Love shows no fear, love tells no lies
And love will never leave me in the dark
No, love never breaks my heart
Like you do, like you do
Love doesn't have unapproachable walls
Or a heart that beckons and then withdraws
And love would never steal my dignity
Love has never made a fool of me
Like you do, like you do
Oh, and I have known times
When love seems unsure
But when love is unkind
It is not love anymore
Love never threatens of frightens me
It's not held together with apologies
Love never screams my name
No, and love never turns away
Like you do, like you do
And I have known times
When love seems unsure
But when love maybe unkind
Love never turns away
Like you do, like you do
Like you do, like you do

Knackelflerg, that little word
It says what you meant to me
You've been awf'lly fine
Knackelflerg, I've never heard
A word that says more, for sure
And you're only mine
The silly way you hold my klarg
When I'm alone with only you
The way you touch this foolish heart
They way you do the things you try
Knackelflerg, that tiny word
It says what you mean to me
You've been awf'lly fine
Knackelflerg, I've never heard
A word that says more, for sure
And you're only mine
I've heard a thousand times before
That love is always playing games
But when I see that boop of yours
You set my eyebrows up in flames
(La la la la la)
Knackelflerg, that tiny word
It says what you mean to me
You've been awf'lly fine
Knackelflerg, I've never heard
A word that says more, for sure
And you're only mine
One more, fella's
Knackelflerg

Take you back to a cotton field
In the heart of Lousiana
Little boy about nine years old
Sings a song in the heat of the day
Mama cried when her little boy sang
She knew he could be someone special
Mama cried 'cause the way that it was
He would only be wasted away
Then his mama would pray
And every night she would say
Help my boy began
Take the lord by the hand
Let the little boy sing
Got a feeling that takes you home
Got a melody of his own
Let the little boy sing
Let the little boy try
Let the little boy buy
He can take you along
On the wings of his song
Let the little boy fly
Take you back to New Orleans
Where the music wakes up with the city
To the bars by the railroad cars
On the neon side of town
Sang a song on the city streets
And people began to listen
Southern boy, sing your southern song
Take it like no one aound
Nobody walked by
Without feelin' high
Never heard it before
They'd be calling for more
Let the little boy sing
Got a melody of his own
Got a feeling that takes you home
Let the little boy sing
And let the little boy fly
Let the little boy try
He can take you along
On the wings of his song
Let the little boy fly
Let him take you away
(Ladies and gentlemen
Super?? are proud to introduce
The little boy with a soul of a star)
Let the little boy sing
Got a melody of his own
Got a feeling that takes you home
Let the little boy sing
Let the little boy try
Let the little boy buy
He can take you along
On the wings of his song
Let the little boy fly

[Instrumental]

Lady - oh
Lady - oh
I walked the streets again last night.
I saw you in the city light
like a vision
Lady - oh.
Lady - I
Lady - I
I've been waitin' around such a long
long time.
Believin' I could make you mine
just wanting you Lady - oh.
But here I am and there you are
much too far to even hear me.
Hurts a lot
you know it does
it hurts a lot
Babe
Lady - oh
am I gonna ever learn
what I never learned before ?
City light
city lights
burn so warm and they burn so bright
but me
I walk the city night
to forget you
Lady - oh.
But here I am and there you are
much too far to even hear me.
Hurts a lot
you know it does
it hurts a lot
Babe
Lady - oh
am I gonna ever learn
what I never learned before ?

Think a little 'bout what you're sayin'
What's another day more or less
Gonna be a waitin' game
And I got the time if you get the message
What you gonna do about it
Got to hear the 'go or stay'
Even if you go without me
You could never make me go away
You know it's true, you know you do
I don't know how, but I know you
I don't know how
But I know
I can find a way to get it right, yeah
I need to love you more
That's all I have to do
Think a little bit less of me
And a little bit more of you
I need to see you smile
The way you did before
Don't need to start again
Just need to love you more
Much more, much more
Oh lot more, yeah
Talk a little 'bout where we're goin'
Walk another mile down the road
Another part of life worth knowin'
I got the map if you got the ticket
Wouldn't wanna go without me
Wouldn't be much fun that way
Even if you did without me
You could never make me go away
You know it, too
You know it's true I don't know how
But I know you
I don't know why
But I know
I can find a way to get it right, yeah
I need to love you more
That's all I have to do
Think a little bit less of me
And a little bit more of you
I need to see you smile
The way you did before
Don't need to start again
Just need to love you more
Oh, lot more, yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Give a little consideration
Only thing I've got to do
Think of all the implications
I can't think of losin' you
Wouldn't wanna go without you
Wouldn't be much fun that way
No, I couldn't go without you
No, I got to try to make you stay
You know I will, I'll try until
Can't try no more, then I'll try still
There ain't a lot for me to say
Except I got to find a way, yeah
Just need to love you more,
That's all I got to do
Think a little bit less of me
And a little bit more of you
I need to see you smile
The way you did before
Don't need to start again,
Just need to love you more
I need to love you more
That's all I got to do
Think a little bit less of me
And a little bit more of you
I need to see you smile
The way you did before
Don't need to start again,
Just need to love you more
Alright, alright
I need to see you smile
The way you did before
Don't need to start again
Just need to love you more

Juliet I've been waitin',
For so long for you to come back
How I, I've been needin' you, Juliet.
Wrapped up all in day dreams,
But daydreams won't fill the night time.
And I'm so glad I found Juliet.
Nananananana...........
Turn your eyes on me, girl
Wanderin' round inside a grown man
No more than a small boy, sweet Juliet
'Bout to give up tryin'
And there you stood
Without your shoes on
You've gone and loved me, sweet Juliet

You know that you can find me
On the way to Jerusalem
But I took a magic carpet ride
To a popular movie show
And that's where I found her
Was on the way to Jerusalem
She was hangin' on silver screen
A techni-color Michelangelo
Well I was rollin'
On the way to Jerusalem
I was headed for the Promised Land
And nothing make me go against the tide
But I took a little turn, yeah
Was on the way to Jerusalem
What's another day more or less
You pay your money
And you take your ride
One more day, gonna stay one more day
Then I got to go
On my way,
Tell them I'm on my way
But I need to know
Does Jerusalem close?
Does Jerusalem close?
When does it close?

It's a trip on a Ferris wheel
It's a game that you play for real
And so you know that if you're takin' it
Hey, you better not be fakin' it
It's a riff on an alto sax
Crying out so you can't relax
But you can tell it when he's fakin' it
So don't you ever be fakin' it
It's hard enough to be makin' it
If it's a trip and it's going
To have to end someday too soon
Let's take a trip to the moon
Come on, let's go for the moon
It's a ride on an astro plane
It's a trip down a one-way lane
So just forget about them secret doubts
It's something baby you can live without
Yeah, it's a trip, make it last a while
Life's a cup, fill it up in style
You got your dreams, you gotta live it out
The love you have, you gotta give it out
If that ain't life, then what's it all about
If it's a trip and it's going
To have to end someday too soon
Let's take a trip to the moon, yeah
C'mon let's go for the moon
It's a trip
Yeah, it's a trip, make it last a while
Life's a cup, fill it up in style
You got your dreams, you gotta live it out
The love you have, you gotta give it out
If that ain't life, then what's it all about
If it's a trip and it's going
To have to end someday too soon
Let's take a trip to the moon
Come on, let's go for the moon
I want to go to the moon
Let's take a trip to the moon

Hey boy, you got the address
On the street of unknowns
Big man smokin' on a cigar,
Dealin' on the telephone
Hey boy, look out for flim-flam
If you wanna go real far
Been there, and I believe
You got to be what you are
In my lifetime, In my lifetime
Hey boy, you look like a million
Hey now, show 'em what you got
Hey boy, what you got to run from?
I'll teach you all that I forgot
In my lifetime, In my lifetime
Hey boy, when you write a rock tune,
You give up a piece of your soul
Stay boy, underneath a rockin' moon
Try before you get too old
Hooray, got yourself a road gig
Any gig's gonna be fine
Okay, you gave up your real life,
And I know why
In my lifetime, I have been there
I have dreamed it
In my lifetime, L - I - F - E
In my T - I - M - E
In my lifetime
(Holly Holy Love)(Shilo when I was young)
In my lifetime, In my lifetime........

In Ensenada
We were running
from the things that we knew best
We only took the good and left the rest
In Ensenada
Out on the border
And we knew
it was the last chance we would have
So we took the chance
and tried for one more laugh
In Ensenada
'Hold me'
She said, 'Need Me'
She said, 'Love me'
'And make it last until tomorrow'
Darling
You need me
The world is moving much to fast
Let's slow down and make it last
Like the first time
'Cause the first time
Never really left my mind
Came looking for the things we used to find
In Ensenada
Come looking for the things we used to find
In Ensenada
'Hold me'
She said, 'Need Me'
She said, 'Love me'
She said 'Make it last until tomorrow'
Darling
You need me
The world is moving much to fast
Let's slow down
Come on and
She said, 'Hold Me'
She said, 'Need Me'
She said, 'Love me'
'And make it last until tomorrow'
Darling
Believe me
Love me
We'll make it last until tomorrow
Darling
Believe me
She said, 'Love me'
'Make it last until tomorrow'
Hold me and need me
She said, 'Love me'
'Just make it last until tomorrow'

If you go away on this summer day,
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new
And our hearts were high
When the day was young,
And the night was long
And the moon stood still
For the nightbird song
If you go away, if you go away
If you go away
But if you stay, I'll make you a day
Like no day has been or will be again
We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees that worship the wind
And if you go, I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand
If you go away, if you go away
If you go away
If you go away, as I know you must,
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust
Just an empty room filled with empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
Can I tell you now, as you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly 'til your next hello
If you go away, if you go away
If you go away
But if you stay, I'll make you a night
Like no night has been or will be again
I'll sail on your smile
I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes, that I love so much
But if you go, I won't cry,
The good's gone from goodbye
If you go away, if you go away
If you go away

If I couldn't see you again
Life would make no sense at all to me
I could be a rich man, but why?
It wouldn't mean much, if I
Could never see you again
If I couldn't look in your eyes
How'm I gonna see tomorrow?
How'm I gonna know where to go?
I need to be at your side
Say what you want, babe
But I, I need to see you again
Things are gonna get serious
What a waste of a chance
For the two of us
What can I do?
Is it so mysterious?
I would be much less than I am
If I couldn't have you
And if there wasn't you in my life
All my life would be so empty
And if I couldn't see you again,
Be losing more than a friend
Don't even want to pretend
I need to see you again
Things are gonna get serious
What a waste of a chance
For the two of us
What can I do?
Is it so mysterious?
I would be much less than I am
If I couldn't have you
Know that it's true
How'm I gonna make you believe
What have I got left to give to you?
Maybe just a piece of my life
It wouldn't mean much, if I
Could never see you again
I need to see you again

I'm sitting up here and drinkin'
She's sittin' down there and thinkin'
Got on her tape of Evita Perona
And my Smith Corona
Keeps saying I'm sorry
I'm saying I'm sorry
And then I'm saying goodnight
She's sittin' up there and fumin'
She thinks I'm something inhuman
She'd rather be with Paul Newman
I know her
And my Smith Corona
Keeps saying I'm sorry
I'm saying I'm sorry
And then I'm saying goodnight
Good Night
Good Night
Baby, you know that I love you
All right
Gonna be alright
Let's call it a lesson we've learned
She's not an easy forgiver
Could throw myself in the river
She send me back do it once more
An encore and what's more
Use the back door
Well, I'm saying I'm sorry
I'm saying I'm sorry
And then I'm saying goodnight
Good Night
Good Night
Baby, you know that I love you
All right
Gonna be alright
Just call it a lesson we've learned
She's sitting up there and waitin'
Hey dummy quit hesitating
Take off that tape of Evita Perona
Turn off that corona
And tell her you're sorry
I'm saying I'm sorry
And then I'm saying goodnight
And then I'm saying goodnight
And then I'm saying goodnight

Whenever I get down
I look to someone else
I need your love to bring me 'round
And so I must confess
I'm guilty
Of believing you to be
The better part of me
I never thought to look around
In times when more is less
I'm guilty
Guilty of lovin' you
'Cause I need you
Yes and I want you
You know you always bring me through
I'm guilty
And if you want to know
You really let me down
But I won't never let you go
There's something in my heart keeps sayin'
There's something in my heart that's sayin'
You're guilty of lovin' too
And you need me
Yes and you want me
And I won't never let you down
There's something in my heart keeps sayin'
There's something in my heart that's sayin'
You're guilty of lovin' too
I'm guilty

I who have nothing I,
I who have no one
Adore you and want you so
I'm just a no one
With nothing to give you darlin'
But, oh
I love you
He buys you diamonds
Bright, sparkling diamonds
But, believe me, dear, when I say
That he can give you the world
But he'll never love the way
I love you
He can take you any place he wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you
With my nose pressed up against
The window pane
I love you I
I who have nothing I
I who have no one
Must watch you go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms
Of somebody else
When, darling, it's I
Who loves you
I love you
I love you
I who have nothing

Take a walk,
You can hardly breathe the air
Look around,
It's a hard life everywhere
People talk,
But they never really care
On the street
There's a feeling of despair
But everyday
There's a brand new baby born
And everyday
There's the sun to keep you warm
And it's alright
Yeah, it's alright
I'm alive
And I don't care much for words of doom
If it's love you need,
Well I've got the room
It's a simple thing
That came to me when I found you
I'm alive
I'm alive
Every night
On the streets of Hollywood
Pretty girls
Want to give you something good
Love for sale,
It's a lonely town at night
Therapy
For a heart misunderstood
But look around,
There's a a flower on every street
Look around,
And, it's growing at your feet
And everyday you can hear me say
That I'm alive
I wanna take all that life has got to give
All I need is someone to share it with
I've got love
And love is all I really need to live
I'm alive
I'm alive
And everyday
There's a brand new baby born
And everyway
There's enough to keep you warm
And it's okay
And I'm glad to say
That I'm alive
And I don't care much for words of doom
If it's love you got ,well I've got the room
It's a simple thing
That came to me when I found you
I'm alive
I'm alive
I wanna take all that life has got to give
All I need is someone to share it with
I've got love
And love is all I really need to live
I'm alive
I'm alive
And I don't care much for words of doom
If it's love you need,
Well I've got the room
It's a simple thing that came to me
And thank God I'm alive
I can take all that life has got to give
If I got someone to share it with
I got love and love is all you really need
I'm alive

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Paper houses made to stand with paper nails
That's all I thought that love could ever be
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I needed sunshine
I got rain
Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in your mind
I'm in love
And I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried
Not if I tried
Thought that love
Was more or less a givin' thing
Seems the more I gave the less I got
Like a flower that grows,
Love's like a living thing
Living things don't like to be forgot
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Then I saw her face
I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I'm a believer
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I'm in love
Yeah I'm a believer

Matter of fact, you're on the right track
My future looks bright and blue.....
Didn't take long to see I was wrong
That I still got it strong for you
I'll come running, yeah
If you want me to
I'll come running, yeah
'Cause I'm done in, yeah, without you
I'd give my last shirt
To take back the words
That brought all that hurt upon her
Both made mistakes
Had some bad breaks
But we've got what it takes to go on
I'll come running, yeah
If you want me to
I'll come running, yeah
'Cause I'm done in, yeah, without you
I'll come running, yeah
If you want me to
I'll come running, yeah
'Cause I'm done in, yeah, without you

I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents 'neath the tree
Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
And you'll be in my dreams
I'll be home this Christmas, darling
I'll be coming home to you
And there's nothing in the world
Gonna get in my way
I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow
And mistletoe
And presents 'neath the tree
Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
And you'll be in my dreams
I'll be home for Christmas
Till then you'll be in my dreams

Where I am, what I am
You're the only reason
Held me up, filled my cup,
Had the faith in me and love....
Owe it all to you, knowin' we're in love
There's nothing I can't do
And I'm not afraid to lose my way
'Cause if I walk a crooked street
You're there to lead me home
I've been through bad times
And some times worse
And till I met you 'happy' was just a word
But that all changed the day you came
Now if I walk a crooked street
You're there to lead me home
[Guitar instrumental]
And I'm not afraid to lose my way
'Cause if I walk a crooked street
You're there to lead me home
If I walk a crooked street
You're there to lead me home

We were swept away,
We were taken by surprise
Was the power of the moment
Or the power of her eyes
Then it came unexpected,
And we never even ran
We were standing unprotected
When the rain began
And the hurricane came,
And it never made a sound
So we never ran for cover
And it blew the house down
And it brought us together
Maybe tore us all apart
When a hurricane blows
It goes for the heart
When a hurricane blows
It goes for the heart
When a hurricane blows
It goes for the heart
But we built another house
And we made it out of stone
And we're stronger now together
Than we ever were alone
We were swept away
But never swept apart
When a hurricane blows
It goes for the heart
When that hurricane blows
It goes for the heart
When that hurricane blows
It goes for the heart
For the heart
Was the power of the moment
Or the power of her eyes
Power of the moment
Or the power of her eyes
Swept away
Taken by surprise
Power of the moment
Or the power of her eyes

I can’t stop this feeling
Deep inside of me
Girl, you just don’t realise
What you do to me
When you hold me
In your arms so tight
You let me know
Everything’s all right
CHORUS
I, I’m hooked on a feeling
Im high on believing
That your in love with me
Lips as sweet as candy
Its taste is on my mind
Girl you've got me thirsty
For another cup of wine
Got a bug from you, Girl
But I don’t need no cure
I’ll just stay a victim
If i can for sure
All the good love
When we’re all alone
Keep it up Girl
Yeah, you turn me on
CHORUS
All the good love
When we’re all alone
Keep it up Girl
Yeah, you turn me on
CHORUS
I’m hooked on a feeling
And im high on believing
That your in love with me
I said I’m hooked on a feeling…
And im high on believing
That your in love with me
Hooked on a feeling
[Words by Bjorn Skifs]

Warm night time smells in the air
Sit on an old rockin' chair
Thinkin' back where I've been
Goin' back, once again
I can find honey-drippin' times
Honey-drippin' times
Kid's playin' games in the yard
Kids never know when times are hard
But they're kids and I'm not
I just see all I've got on my mind
Honey-drippin' times
Honey-drippin' times
(whistles)
Thinkin' back where I've been
Goin' back once again
I can find honey-drippin times
Honey drippin' times
(whistles)

Half a day from nowhere,
Hurrying to get there
Ninety miles an hour
In two Plymouth wagons
The Avis lady gave us a smile
Tom's getting uptight
Max'll will make it all right
Ken's asleep in back
Artie's reading a map
That's takin' us where we're heading to
We should be there soon
There's a sign up ahead
Wash my face and get fed
And that voice in my head
Keeps sayin' I'm lonely
But I'm only payin' my dues
Holiday Inn Blues
Had a reservation, best accommodations
We get the word, they never heard
We were comin' by at all
See what they can do for me,
Only got one room free
Little bit confined,
but if you guys don't mind
We'll put you up in our bridal suite
The view can't be beat
And a fine view they got
Of a new parking lot
And I can't repeat what's in my mind
As I lay back resigned
And I kick off my shoes
Holiday Inn Blues
Time to put a show on
Gettin' time to go on
People call for more,
We do two encores
Take our bows and we're feelin' fine
We got to unwind
Want some coffee, but then
This town closes at ten
Looks like I'm gonna spend
One more night by the light
Of the late show
And Charlie Chans's crew
Holiday Inn Blues
Holiday Inn Blues
I feel so down
Holiday Inn Blues
What am I gonna do?

Hey, my Louise,
If I take you home,
Will you make me plead?
My sweet amour
If I come to close, will you close the door?
Oh ma cherie, do you know my name?
I remember yours
And I know what you need
What you need my Louise
Hey my Louise,
I can stand the heat,
But don't let me freeze
Merci beaucoup, it's a natural thing
When it's me and you
Oh ma cherie, do you know my name?
I remember yours
And I know what you need
What you need my Louise
Oh ma cherie, do you know my name?
I remember yours
And I know what you need
What you need my Louise
Need, what you need my Louise
What you need my Louise

Christmas future is far away
Christmas past is past
Christmas present is here today
Bringing joy that will last
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on,
Our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yuletide gay
From now on,
Our troubles will be miles away
And here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years
We all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shinning star
Upon the highest bough
And have yourself
A merry little Christmas now
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years
We all will be together
If the fates allows
Hang a shinning star
Upon the highest bough
And have yourself
A merry little Christmas now

Glory to the new-born King!
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the new-born King!

It isn't easy when you're makin' the scene
You either fit right in or fall in between
These are hard times for lovers
The kind of magic that you want every night
Well that's the kind that always
Goes by the morning light
Hard times for lovers
I'm gonna climb on your roof,
Beat on your door, act like a fool
Then I'll say it once more
These are hard times, really hard times
For lovers
It's gettin' harder
And you know it's the truth
Confusion seems to be the popular view of it
Hard times for lovers
Some people see it almost played like a game
The way it is today, it's kind of a shame
They're such hard times for lovers
I want to climb on your roof
Beat on your door, act like a fool
Then I'll say it once more
These are hard times
Really hard times for lovers
It isn't easy, no, I try to please you so
It isn't easy, you can take it from me
But maybe easy ain't the way
It's supposed to be
Hard times for lovers
I'm gonna climb on your roof
Beat on your door, act like a fool
Then I'll say it once more
These are hard times
I know that they are
Can carry that weight
But I don't know how far
These are hard times,
Truly hard times
God, they're hard times for lovers
Say No no no no no no no....
Say No no no no no no no....
Say No no no no no no no....
Say no, say no, say no
Say no, say no, say no......

Tonight's the night I've waited for
Because you're not a baby anymore
You've turned into the prettiest girl
I've ever seen
Happy Birthday sweet sixteen
What happened to that funny face
My little tomboy
Now wears satin and lace
I can't believe my eyes
You're just a teenage dream
Happy Birthday sweet sixteen
When you were only six
You had a big brother
Then when you were ten
You didn't like each other
When you were thirteen
You were my funny valentine
But since you've grown up
Your future is sewn up
From now on you're gonna be fine
So if I should smile with sweet surprise
It's just that you've grown up
Before my very eyes
You've turned into the prettiest girl
I've ever seen
Happy Birthday sweet sixteen
If I should smile with sweet surprise
It's just that you've grown up
Before my very eyes
You've turned into the prettiest girl
I've ever seen
Happy Birthday sweet sixteen
Happy Birthday sweet sixteen
Sha la la la la la la la la
Happy Birthday sweet sixteen
Sha la la la la la la la la
Happy Birthday sweet sixteen
Sha la la la la la la la la
Happy Birthday sweet sixteen
Sha la la la la la la la la
Happy Birthday sweet sixteen

God rest you merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
From God our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tiding of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy....
And Joy....

She wakes up
She's leaving
She sets out so assured
That she can find
The life that she believes in
She's glad now
It's over
She never should of gotten so involved
At least that's what she told him
And it' ain't a Front Page Story
Won't even make the papers
Somebody breaks a heart in two
And it happens much too often
Won't ever make the headlines
Somebody's broken heart ain't new
Except when it happens to you
He wonders
What happened
He thinks of all the things
He might have done
Why shouldn't she believe him
He wakes up without her
And never really knows
Just what went wrong
But it's all wrong without her
And it ain't a Front Page Story
Won't even make the papers
Somebody breaks a heart in two
And it happens much too often
Won't ever make the headlines
Another broken heart ain't new
Except when it happens to you
It ain't a Front Page Story
Won't even make the papers
Somebody breaks a heart in two
And it happens much too often
Won't ever make the headlines
Somebody's broken heart ain't new
Except when it happens to you
No no no
Won't make the headlines
Somebody breaks a heart in two
No no no
Oh no no
Somebody's broken heart ain't news
Except when it happens to you
No no no
Won't make the headlines
Somebody breaks a heart in two
No no no
Oh no no
Somebody's broken heart ain't news

Fortune of the night,
callin' out my name and saying she'll be mine tonight,
fortune of the night.
Oh, my heart is tellin' me,
oh, I better put a move on.
If she got away,
then not a day would go by without some blue song.
All my life,
I've waited for just tonight
to say that I love her.
And all this time,
I've wanted to call her mine
and how her I love her.
Fortune of the night,
callin' out my name and saying
I will find her.
Fortune of the night,
is there any doubt I'll need to have her by my side,
fortune of the night?
Fortune of the night.
And oh, I'm really movin' now 'cause,
oh, I would feel like a fool, yeah,
if she got away.
They'd only say the rumors would truly be true, yeah,
that all this time
I waited to call you mine.
And you got to know it.
Fortune of the night,
callin' out my name and saying I will find her.
Fortune of the night,
isn't any doubt I'll need to have you by my side,
fortune of the night.
To want her,
to love her,
oh, I do.
And now's my time.
I've waited, but now's my time to show that I love her.
Fortune of the night,
callin' out to me and saying I was chosen.
Fortune of the night,
tellin' me that we'll be there
until the morning light,
fortune of the night.
ah ah ah ah ah
Fortune of the night,
I hear you call.
ah ah ah ah ah
Are you gonna keep an eye on me tonight?
ah ah ah ah ah Fortune of the night, I hear you call.
ah ah ah ah ah are you gonna sing your song with me sometime?
ah ah ah ah ah Fortune of the night, I hear you call.

First you have to say you love me
It's no good unless you do
'Cause I need to hear you love me
Baby, just like you
Yes, I need to hear forever
And if forever it never comes
Well at least I heard you say it
If only just for once
Just like you,
I need to be remembered
Just like you
I need to know you care
It takes to of us to be together
Just like one
When it's said and done
That's only fair
We could live for just the moment
But that moment it's gonna pass
Can't you see it's now or never
But if we need to be together
It's time for you and me to say forever
For how's it gonna last
Yes, I need to hear you love me
Baby, just like you

There's a fire on the tracks
And the train's movin' closer each day
To that fire on the tracks
Hey, don't nobody get in the way
Feel it coming right now
Want to stop it, but how
Can't you see there's a fire on the tracks
Don't you know
That you're headed for pain
Look out,
There's a fire up ahead on the tracks,
And it's you on the train
Yeah, it's you on the train
There's a movie somewhere
In the chaotic paths of our lives
There's a movie in there
It's the story of everyday lies
Like some paperback dream
I hear somebody scream
Hey mister, there's a fire on the tracks
Can't you see that you're headed for pain
Don't you know
There's a fire up ahead on the tracks,
And that's you on the train
It's you on the train

Look out there's a fire
There's a fire on the tracks
Don't you know
That you're headed for nothing but pain
'Cause it's you on the train,
It's you on the train
Look out now,
Fire
There's a fire on the track
Don't you know
That you're headed for nothing but pain
'Cause it's you on the train,
Yeah
It's you on the train

I go off to work everyday
You think there's no other way
And when there's time left to play
You're thinkin' about her all the time
You keep it all to yourself
You trust in nobody else
And the pressure just builds
It can make you go crazy
Falling
I'm falling in love, again
Falling
I'm falling asleep
Callin' your name once again, babe
One more time, yeah
The world is down on your back
You know the things that you lack
It really hard that's a fact
When you wanna do the right thing
You got your doubts that you can
Sometimes you don't understand
What brings the best in a man
Is it passion or power or
Falling
I'm falling in love again
Falling
I'm falling asleep
Callin' your name once again, babe
One more time, babe
Fall into bed every night
It seems you do nothing right
You'd like to catch the next flight
But you got your responsibilities
She's feeling unsatisfied
You feeling empty inside
Like you've been took for a ride
And there's no one at the steering wheel
Falling
I'm falling in love again
Falling
I'm falling asleep, callin' your name
And I'm falling
I'm falling in love again
Falling
I'm falling asleep, callin' your name
And I'm falling

And the night was filled with laughter
Echoing through painted smiles
And I knew each morning after
I never loved , was never touched
Gave not at all, got back as much
In the comfort of
A modern day version of love
Julie, how I've curse the sweet taste
Of lips that ask so much of me
Still I wonder with every embrace
Could I give and not break
Should I care and forsake
All the comfort of
A modern day version of love
Close my eyes and keep on runnin'
Realize it isn't gonna work anymore
For me, yeah
I'm afraid for maybe that somethin'
Never cared enough to be afraid
Of anything
Before, not before
Barefoot child on streets of cinder
Sleeping child the morning calls
Pray for spring but face the winter
Take the hand, taste the kiss
Leave behind the emptiness
And the comfort of

Turn around,
Where do you think you're going
We've been through this door so many times
Just turn around,
We've got to keep it going like we did before
In better times
Turn around,
Look at me
Can't you see, I'll be there for you
If ever you should need me
You can run away,
But you can never hide
There'll come a day
You gonna have to face yourself
You'll wait and say,
It wasn't worth goodbye
Turn around,
Look at me
I'm the guy who loves you
And when you get tired of running around
Turn around,
Don't turn away, babe
Turn around, I want you to stay
You and me,
We still belong together
No one ever said we'd have an easy ride
When you love someone,
You got to talk it over
When you love someone,
You just don't let it die
Turn around,
Look at me
I just want to tell you
What you're looking for
You've already found
Turn around,
Don't turn away, babe
Turn around, I want you to stay
Turn around,
Don't turn away, babe
Just turn around, I want you to stay
Turn around,
Don't turn away, babe
Just turn around, I want you to stay
Turn around,
Don't turn away, babe

Sleepy old sun, sleepy old day,sleepy old tree gonna make me some shade.
Sleepy old time on my side of town,I'm feelin' fine, I'll explain to you now.
Don't think, feel; ain't no big deal.
Just make it real and don't think, feel.
It don't take plans to clap your hands,
when it feels nice just don't think twice.
Some worry all day 'bout who they can trust,some worry all night 'bout money and lust.
Worry they do and worried they die--
and after they're gone just the bankers cry.
Don't think, feel; ain't no big deal.
Just make it real and don't think, feel.
It don't take plans to clap your hands,
when it feels nice just don't think twice.
Life is a card, you take what you get.
You do what you can to feel no regret.
You do what you can, forget about words,just go with the feelin' it usually works.
Don't think, feel; ain't no big deal.
Just make it real and don't think, feel.
It don't take plans to clap your hands,
when it feels nice you don't think twice.
Don't think, feel; ain't no big deal.
Just make it real and don't think, feel.
It don't take plans to clap your hands,
when it feels nice you don't think twice.
Don't think, feel; ain't no big deal.

Don't make me over
Now that I can't
Make it without you
Don't make me over
I wouldn't change
One thing about you
Don't pick on the things
I say,
The things I do
Just love me with all my faults,
The way that I love you
I'm begging you
Don't make me over
Now that I'd do anything for you
Don't make me over
Now that you know how I adore you
Just take me inside your arms
And hold me tight
And always be by my side,
If I am wrong or right
I'm begging you
Don't make me over
Don't make me over
Now that you've got me
At your command
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things I do
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things I do
Just take me inside your arms
And hold me tight
And always be by my side,
Even if I am wrong or right
I'm begging you
Don't make me over
No, don't make me over
Now that
You've got me at your command
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things I do
Accept me for what I am babe
Accept me for the things I do
Don't make me over
Don't make me over
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things I do

You know I can be found
Sitting home all alone,
If you can't come around,
At least please telephone
Don't be cruel
To a heart that's true
Baby, if I made you mad
For something I might have said,
Please, let's forget the past
The future looks bright ahead
Don't be cruel
To a heart that's true
I don't want no other love,
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of
Don't stop thinking of me
Don't make me feel this way
Come on over here and love me
You know what I want you to say
Don't be cruel
To a heart that's true
Why should we be apart?
I really really love you baby,
Cross my heart
Let's walk up to the preacher
And let us both say I do
Then you'll know you'll have me
And I'll know I'll have you too
Don't be cruel
To a heart that's true
I don't want no other love
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of
Don't be cruel To a heart that's true
Don't you be cruel
To a heart that's true
Don't you be cruel
To a heart that's true

Do you know the way to San Jose?
I've been away so long
I may go wrong and lose my way
Do you know the way to San Jose?
I'm going back
To find some peace of mind
In San Jose
L.A. is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car
In a week maybe two,
They'll make you a star
Weeks turn into years
How quick they pass
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas
You can really breathe in San Jose
They've got a lot of space
There'll be a place where I can stay
I was born and raised in San Jose
I'm going back
To find some peace of mind
In San Jose
Fame and fortunes a magnet
It can pull you far away from home
With a dream in your heart
You are never alone
Dreams turn into dust and blow away
And there you are without a friend
You pack your car and ride away
I got lots of friends in San Jose
Do you know the way to San Jose?
L.A. is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car
In a week maybe two
They'll make you a star
Weeks turn into years
How quick they pass
And all the stars that never were

I got lots of friends in San Jose
Do you know the way to San Jose?
Can't wait to get back home
To San Jose

There she was
Just a-walkin' down the street
Singin'
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
Poppin' her fingers
And shufflin' her feet,
Singin'
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
She looked good,
She looked fine,
She looked good, she looked fine
And I nearly lost my mind.
Before I knew it
She was walkin' next to me.
Singin'
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
She took my hand
Just as natural as can be,
Singin'
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do

To my door,
We walked on to my door,
Then we kissed a little more

And we're so happy
And that how we're gonna stay
Singin'

I'm hers
She's mine
I'm hers, she's mine
Wedding bells are gonna chime

There I was
Sittin' at home with my magazine
Just kickin' back
Quietly drinking my cup of tea
But suddenly
I hear the sound of rock and roll
Comin' through my walls
Makes me lose control
And I'm dancin' to the party next door
Groovin' with the kids on the floor, yeah
Dancin' to the party next door
And I'm havin' a good time,
Oh yeah, uh huh, alright
I'm havin' a good time
Oh yeah, uh huh, alright
Look at me
I'm a reserved and a proper guy
But suddenly
Mister Reserved here is flyin' high
Hey, I believed
Some things were just not meant to be
Like carryin' on this way
But take a look at me
I'm dancin' to the party next door
I'm groovin' with the kids on the floor, yeah
Dancin' to the party next door
And I'm havin' a good time
Oh yeah, uh huh, alright
I'm havin' a good time
Oh yeah, uh huh, it's alright
And it's clear to me
I see the writing on the wall
Says how you gonna fly
If you're afraid to fall
So I'm dancin' to the party next door
Groovin' with the kids on the floor, yeah
Dancin' to the party next door
And we're havin' a good time

You walk by me
And my heart goes faster
Those eyes that smile, I know all the while
I'm courtin' disaster
You call my tune, I just obey it
Was long ago you loved me, I know
I once heard you say it
So I keep going on without ever knowing
All that I need to do
And I know some how,
It's the same way now for you.
And you're courtin' disaster too
I'm not an innocent man
Then you happened my way
Two paths that chanced to cross
One night on some secret highway
Still hear your words
And I believe you meant it
Your voice, that sound, the heat
What's worse, I still can remember
Can I keep going on without ever knowing
All that I need to do
And to know some how
It's the same way now for you
And we're courtin' disaster
Yeah, we're courtin' disaster
I could try to run away
But the feeling just won't set me free
If you need to find me,
You can find me here waiting
That's where I'll be
So walk on by
Temptation's growin'
Sometimes you court disaster
Just cause it keeps you going.
There's times you court disaster too

Here comes sundown, don't you be late
Gonna be outta sight, yeah
Girl I'll run down, can't hardly wait
You and me in the night, yeah

One, knowing I'm one, hearing of two
And like a child believing dreams
Always a dream to take you home
Day, after the day, there comes the night
There comes the knowing when you laugh
If you should laugh,
The night alone will hear
And the night don't care
Coldwater morning
Take off your nighttime shoes
Coldwater morning
I've been waiting so long for you
One, knowing I'm one, hearing of two
Hearing of things that I once had
That you once had
And when the night would come
We'd sleep like one
Coldwater morning
Take off your nighttime shoes
Coldwater morning
I've been waiting so long for you

And you shall come
To hear our song
And learn it's tune
Before it
Fades Away......

Weeping sky
We bring the sun
To make you glad
And fill you with the day
Quiet tree
We have the wind
To make you dance
And fill you with our play
And you shall be glad
And you shall dance
And you shall come
To hear our song
And learn its tune

Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down his sweet head
The stars in the sky
Looked down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing
The poor baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying he makes
I love you, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle
Until morning is nigh
Away in a manger
No crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down his sweet head
The stars in the sky
Looked down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay
The little Lord Jesus

At night
On some dark quiet street
Baby, that's where we meet
When day is through
They say
That our love isn't right
So I wait for each night to be with you
Till they realize
Our love's not some passing phase
We'll just meet at night and pray there
For better days
I wait for the darkness to come
Till we can walk in the sun,
We'll meet at night
I wait
For the darkness to come
Till we can walk in the sun,
We'll meet at night, at night.....
At night, come on, come on, now love

She took me somewhere,
Somewhere that's far beyond

Afraid that she'd read me and

How do you capture
The wind on the water?
How do you count all the stars in the sky?
How can you measure
The love of a mother
Or how can you write down
A baby's first cry?
Candlelight, angel light
Firelight and star glow
Shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn
Gloria, Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Angels are singing
The Christ child is born
Shepherds and wise men
Will kneel and adore him
Seraphim round him their vigil will keep
Nations proclaim him
Their Lord and their Saviour
But Mary will hold him
And sing him to sleep
Candlelight, angel light
Firelight and star glow
Shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn
Gloria, Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Angels are singing
The Christ child is born
Find him at Bethlehem laid in a manger
Christ our Redeemer asleep in the hay
Godhead incarnate and hope of salvation
A child with his mother
That first Christmas Day
Candlelight, angel light
Firelight and star glow
Shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn
Gloria, Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Angels are singing
The Christ child is born
Angels are singing

He only lived to dance again

Album: You Don't Bring Me Flowers

LostOn a painted skyWhere the clouds are hungFor the poet's eyeYou may find himIf you may find him
ThereOn a distant shoreBy the wings of dreamsThrough an open doorYou may know himIf you may
BeAs a page that aches for a wordWhich speaks on a theme that is timelessWhile the Sun God will make for your daySingAs a song in search of a voice that is silentAnd the one God will make for your way
And we danceTo a whispered voiceOverheard by the soulUndertook by the heartAnd you may know itIf you may know it
While the sandWould become the stoneWhich begat the sparkTurned to living boneHoly, holySanctus, sanctus

Angels we have heard on high
Singing sweetly o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
What the glad song tidings be?
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the new-born King
Gloria in excelsis Deo

Rolls and flows of angel hair,
Ice cream castles in the air,
Feather canyons everywhere,
I've looked at clouds that way.
But now they only block the sun.
They rain, they snow on everyone.
So many things I would've done
But clouds got in my way.
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down and still somehow
It's clouds' illusions I recall.
I really don't know clouds at all.
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels,
The dizzy, dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real.
I've looked at love that way.
But now it's just another show.
Leave 'em laughin' when you go.
But if you care, don't let em' know
Don't give yourself away.
I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall.
I really don't know love at all.
Tears and fears and feeling proud,
Say "I love you" right out loud.
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange.
They shake their heads and say I've changed.
But something's lost when somethings gained
Living everyday.
I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall.

How can I love
If my love doesn't love only me?
What have I done
To deserve love that never can be?
Once she was just mine alone,
Now she's just someone I've known
What can I do
To change my blue destiny?
First she decides
That our love will always be true,
Next thing I know,
She's runnin' with somebody new
I ask this heart every day
Can there be some other way?
What can I do
To change my blue destiny?
There were times
When love was new
And both our hearts were gay
Now, the signs say we're through
And bound for separate ways
First she decides
That our love will always be true
Next thing I know,
You're runnin' with somebody new
I ask my heart every day
Can there be some other way?
What can I do
To change my blue destiny?
Once you were mine
And wanted the whole world to know
Now ev'ry time I'm around
You got somewhere to go
Still I 'd forgive all your lies darlin'
I realize you, only you

'Daddy said 'Lets do 1-A
'A Beautiful Noise'
This is the key of D
And the singers are
The lead singer is (Daddy Diamond) (laughter)
And the two background singers, the groupies
Are Marjorie and Ellie Diamond.
And moral support is Rosie and Kieve
(No, Neil Diamond)
OK here we go
What a beautiful noise
Comin' up from the street
It's the sound of the cars
Make a beautiful beat
What a beautiful noise
It's the sound that I love
And it fits me real good
Like a hand in a glove
In a glove, in a glove
What a beautiful noise
(Is it all done)
Da da da da da da
(Now we go really soft-hum it)
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da (real easy)
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da

Lost
On a painted sky
Where the clouds are hung
For the poet's eye
You may find him
If you may find him
There
On a distant shore
By the wings of dreams
Through an open door
You may know him
If you may
As a page that aches for a word
Which speaks on a theme that is timeless
While the sun
God will make for your day
Sing
As a song in search of a voice that is silent
And the one
God will make for your way

If you're gonna be true to me
First, you've got to be true to yourself
Oh yeah
It don't matter 'bout nobody else
Oh, no
If it's there in your mind
It's a lesson I've just come to learn
Something
That I've only just begun to learn
Oh, yeah
For the very first time
For the very first time
Angel above my head
Calling my name in diff'rent places
Angel above my head
Saying it's alright
To show your face to the world
Everything seems new to me
Such a very recent turn of events
And the truth
Just doesn't make any sense
Oh, no
For the very first time
If we had another year or two
I would spend it being near to you
Oh, yeah
Like the very first time
Like the very first time
Angel above my head
Calling my name in diff'rent places
Angel above my head
Saying it's alright to show your face now
Angel above my head
Tapping me gently on my shoulder
That angel above my head
Saying it's time to be growing older
My friend
If you wanna be true to me
First you've got to be true to yourself
Oh, yeah
It don't matter 'bout nobody else
Oh, no
Keep me there in your mind
I'll be there by your side

Far, We've been traveling far, Without a home, But not

Somebody's waitin' on the River Jordan
Somebody's waitin' on the other side
I cast my stones on the way to Heaven
But on the way you know that I will abide
Yes, on the way you know that I will abide
Yeah, walk that line boy

[Instrumental]

Every time that we're together,
I'm alone
When you're by my side,
You're far away
And you treat me like
Someone that you've never known
You seem to be a million miles away
Our love's become a one way episode
You don't even hear a word I say
And darlin' when I ask you
What's been goin' on,
Your answer seems
A million miles away
The things you do
Just have one meaning
There's no use trying to pretend
Oh darling, what I would give
To find out that I'm dreaming,
But I know, we've reached the end
I can see you found
Someone more dear to you,
Your eyes tell what your lips never say
And every day
Your lover grows more near to you
But I remain, a million miles away
Yes I remain, a million miles away

When, we say good night
I got to feelin' blue
I'm holey when you leave me
Alone, yeah
But in my heart I know
That you'll be back in, so
I may be blue but it's a
-ah oh oh yeah-
A good kind of lonely
I'm the happiest
When you're by my side
But there are times
When we must be apart
Then I just think of when
You'll hold me close again
And I'm not sad 'cause it's a
-ah oh oh yeah-
A good kind of lonely
A bad kind of lonely
Is the kind that you have
When love says goodbye
Turns your heart inside out
Makes you want to die oh oh
But as long as I have you
I know I won't be blue
You make me happy
Just by bein' around, yeah
And when you go away
I'll never be afraid uh huh
I know you leave me with a
-ah oh oh yeah-
A good kind of lonely
A good kind of lonely

I'm a fool for your love
And it scares me somehow
What I do for your love
And what I need from you now
It's all because of you
You've gone beyond all my pride
To where my dream world begins
To where the little man hides
I need you so bad
And you're so far inside me now
That I can't turn you away
Well, you're so far inside me now
That I hardly know
What to say or what to do
I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you
It's a wide open world
And it's easy to fall
In the eyes of the world
When you reach for it all
But it's because of you
You've overcome all my fears
You found your way down the road
To where I hide all my tears
And I need you so bad
And you're so far inside me now
That I can't turn you away
And you're so far inside me now
That I hardly know
What to say or what to do
Well you're so far inside me now
That I hardly know
What to say or what to do
And you're so far inside me now
That I hardly know

You're so sweet,
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,
And I guess it shows.
Mary Lou Jane (oh Mary Lou Jane)
Oh what a fine name (what a fine name)
And you're nothing like them females
From Dover City
(nothin' at all)
Front teeth missin'
(hee, you got your front teeth missin')
And that's fine for kissin' (oh, feels so good)
You're more loyal than my dog Sam,
And twice as pretty (and that's goin' some)
You're so sweet,
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,
and I guess it shows.
I can't forget (oh, no)
When we first met (first)
Well, it was bull wrestling time
At the county fair rodeo
(or is it ro-de-o)
And I almost cried (wept)
When you took first prize
(first prize, sweetheart)
Well,
You just looked them critters in the face
And down they'd go
(they never had a chance)
You're so sweet,
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,
and I guess it shows.
You're so sweet,
Horseflies keep hangin' 'round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,

Mama told me that someday it would happen
But she said that it would never happen like this
Papa said" Look otu son some little girl will catch you nappin' some little girl will get to you with her kiss"
You got to me
You brought me to my knees
Never thought i'd say please girl
You got to my soul
You got control
You got to me, you got to be mine
Used to slip through every girls hands like water
There was never one that could tie me down
Straight ahead and steady as a Gibraltar
Till a lil' girl brought me tumblin' to the ground
You got to me
You brought me to my knees
Never thought i'd say please girl
You got to my soul
You got control
You got to me, you got to be mine
You got to me
You brought me to my knees
Never thought i'd say please girl
You got to my soul
You got control
You got to me, you got to be mine
you got to me girl
all right come on

It's a lesson too late for the learnin'
Made of sand, made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turning
In your hand, in your hand
Are you going away
With no words of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Well I could have loved you better
I didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was
The last thing on my mind
You got reasons aplenty for going
This I know, this I know
For the weeds
Have been steadily growin'
Please don't go, please don't go
Are you going away
With no words of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Well I could have loved you better
I didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was

And when the hot winds blow tonight
The dancing bumble bee takes flight
And all the flowers in the field
Prepare their nectar soon to yield
Dance
Dance
Behold the dancing bumble bee
And as they gather 'round to see
His rhythm burns like a raging fire
In passion by that sweet desire
Dance
Dance
Dance
Dance with me here tonight
I'll make you warm and right
I'll make you warm tonight
Come dance
He danced until the morning came
Until the music's last refrain
And though he knew it soon would end
He only lived to dance again
Dance
Dance
Dance
Dance with me here tonight
I'll make you warm and right
I'll make you warm tonight
Come dance
Dance
Dance

She was only seventeen
And was every young boy's dream
The blue eyed beauty queen of the day
Broke some hearts, including mine
But everyone knew, she was just that kind
Seems like all her dreams were spent
On the boys that came and went
But the promises were all they left behind
She was good, and she was mine
But everyone knew, she was just that kind
Hey, they said
We gonna take her out to Hollywood
Gonna make her like a movie star
Maybe put her in a picture show
Took her chance, she paid her dime
And maybe I loved her, 'cause she was that kind
She was gone by twenty one
When most lives had just begun
There was so much left undone along the way
She took her chance, she paid her dime
Oh, you gotta be strong, to be that kind
Hey, they said
We gonna take you out to Hollywood
We gonna make you like a movie star
We gonna put you in a picture show
Wasted life, a waste of time
But I couldn't have loved her if she wasn't that kind

I got worries by the ton
Getting cancers's only one
Over Taxed and Alimony
Tired of eating fried baloney
I got burdens on my shoulders
Dying young and growing older
There's some brain cells I'm missing
But despite it all, I'd like to say
I'm gonna have a good day today
Gonna have a good time anyway
Put it all behind me, lay it all away
Gonna be a good day today
Bills and pills and former wives
Past mistakes and former lives
Bank account is overdrawn
Out of Prozac, hairlines gone
Hearing voices in my head
Said I should have stayed in bed
Dog just died but what the heck
Nothing worse can happen anyway
So I'm gonna have a good day today
Me' I'm gonna have a good time anyway
Put it all behind me, lay it all away
Gonna be a good day today
Pulled my back and wrecked my car
Girlfriend stole my VCR
Letter came from sixty minutes
Saying they wanna put me in it
Tell 'em my career just died
Years ago I might have cried
Now I'm just too old to do it
Maybe true but screw it anyway
Me' I'm gonna have a good day today

You were cryin' in your pretzels when I met you
You were washing
All the salt away from the dough
You were cryin' in your pretzels
And I'll never forget you
But, baby, just why, I'll ever know
Cryin' in your pretzels
Cryin' in your beer
Cryin' on the table
That's where I found you dear
[Spoken:]
Yes, my sweet I came into that bar
It was in Mississippi
There you were, sitting in the corner
Crying in your pretzels
You'd already sogged up
A whole plate of potato chips
But the management didn't mind
Because you were a regular customer
And I saw you sittin' there and I said
"That person needs a friend,
And I'm gonna be a friend
Ain't nobody deserves to cry in his pretzels
All night and wash away the salt."
So I kinda sided up to you and I said,
"What can I do for you? How can I help you?
What can I do to ease the pain?"
Well, you were cryin' in your pretzels
Oh, you were cryin' in your beer
Yes, that was the night I meet you

Signs that burn like shooting stars
that pass across the nighttime skies,
they reach out in their mystic language
for us to read between the lines.
Some are born who would defy them,
others still who would deny them, signs.
Signs like moments hung suspended,
echoes just beneath the heart
speak in voices half remembered
and half forgotten play their part.
Signs that come as we lay sleeping
left behind for our keeping, signs.
Sail along, sail along the reefs and the coves inside your soul.
Sail along, sail along in search of a star that you can hold.
And we journey far to where that star may lead to (lead to).
Signs that whisper in the dreams of sailors
and of river queens of paupers and of men with means,
it all depends on how it reads.
Some are born who never need them,
others still who never read them, signs.
Sail along, sail along the reefs and the coves inside your soul.
Sail along, sail along in search of a star that you can hold.
And we journey far to where that star may lead to (lead to).
Signs, signs.
Some are born who never need them,

Young child with dreams
Dream every dream on your own
When children play
Seems like you end up alone
Papa says he'd love to be with you
If he had the time
So you turn on the only friend you can find
There in your mind
Shilo, when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
And we'd play
Young girl with fire
Something said she understood
I wanted to fly
She made me feel like I could
Held my hand out, and I let her take me
Blind as a child
All I saw was the way that she made me smile
She made me smile
Shilo, when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
But you'd stay
Had a dream, and it filled me with wonder
She had other plans
"Got to go," Said she "know that I'd understand"
I understand
Shilo, when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
Come today
Had a dream, and it filled me with wonder
She had other plans
"Got to go," said she "know that I'd understand"
I understand
Shilo, when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came

Why make me plead
For what I need
And I need you
Why, why make me weep
Cry in my sleep
Cause I need you
Say maybe
Won't you even say sometime, baby
Won't you never say lovin' words again
Say baby
Don't you know I'm a fool about you
If I tried, I could live without you
For maybe a day (maybe a day)
I, I've been around
Finally found
And I need you
And I, I know what I got
And I got a lot

And her eyes
Hurt the way they do
Almost like they’d seen
Almost like they knew
And her words
Soft as they could be
Tied me to her soul
And couldn’t set me free
And the night
That held us in its arms
It held us once again
But even then
I knew this time
That I would decline
Sweet Rosemary’s Wine
Lately I
Seem to be inclined
More to being cold
Less to being kind
And I suppose
That I’ve been less than true
Being what I am
What was I to do?
So I drink
The sweetness of her soul
And drink it once again
But even then
I guess I’d known
That I would decline

Can you hear my rainy day song
Calling from the street below
Baby, since I've been without you
Well, it's the only song I know
And I keep hearing rainy day songs
Tapping on my window sill
Some that soon won't be forgotten
Some that probably never will
Say, I know you never did believe in rainbows
But hey, you know the sun is somehow gonna shine
And babe, we only have to look and we can find it
If we want to, if we need to
It's just another rainy day song
Way beneath the sorry sky
And when I try to understand it
I only end up asking why
But still I hear those rainy day songs
Calling out to me and you
I only hope that you can hear them
'Cause rainy days are made for two
Say, you know there's always gonna be a rainbow
And hey, you know that sun is always gonna shine
Come on babe, we only have to look and we can find it
If we want to, if we need to
Can you hear that rainy day song
It's such a lost and lonely sound
But baby when I have you near me
Rainy days can't get me down
Babe, I need to have you near me
Cause rainy days, they get me down
Babe, I got to have you near me

She was morning and I was night
Time I one day woke up to find
Her lying beside my bed I softly
Said come take me for I've been
Lonely in need of someone as
Though I'd done someone wrong
Somewhere I don't know where come
Lately
You are the sun I am the moon
You are the words I am the tune
Play me
Song she sang to me song she
Brang to me words that rang in
Me rhyme that sprang from me
Warmed the night and what was
Right became me
You are the sun I am the moon
You are the words I am the tune
Play me
And so it was that I came to
Travel upon a road that was
Thorned and narrow another place
Another grace would save me
You are the sun I am the moon
You are the words I am the tune

Been away from you for much too long
Been away but now I'm back where I belong
Leave while I was gone away
But I do just fine
But I couldn't get the music of my mind
And I couldn't leave the meaning behind
Read the word from the page
Free the bird from the cage
Just go out there and face
What you did before
Did it once
You can do it once more
Yeah
Coming back for one more bite of the apple
Tastes as sweet
It's the nectar of life
And you know that it's right
Cause you know you're not out there alone
And that one more bite of the apple is all
You gonna need to bring it home
I couldn't count the chances that I've lost
Couldn't count the chances of the cost
But I can't help thinking about the days
Of way back when
And I know I wanna taste them once again
Yes I know I wanna taste them once again
Got some things to be said
Going round in my head
Time to get out of bed
Cause I've slept too long
And I know there's a place I belong
Yeah
Coming back for one more bite of the apple
Tastes as sweet
It's the nectar of life
And you know that it's right
Cause you know you're not out there alone
And that one more bite of the apple is all
You gonna need to bring it home
Was a time that I won't ever forget
They were times that I will never regrait
I've been thinking about those days
Since way back when
And thinking I could bring back again
Just maybe I could bring them back again
One more dance in the night
One more chance to get it right
One more creditful gras wind it's flying by
One more toaste to the mud in your eye
Yeah
Coming back for one more bite of the apple
Tastes as sweet
It's the nectar of life
And you know that it's right
Cause you know you're not out there alone
Coming back
And sitting that fight on the saddle
All I want
Is to do it once more
Let me get through that door
Cause I still do believe that I can
Want that one more bite of the apple
And just a chance to taste it once again
Been around the world a time or two
Everywhere I've been I thought of me and you
I was hoping you'd remember how it used to be
And maybe that you'd still remember me
And that apple just as sweet as it could be

Make of our hands, one hand
And make of our hearts, one heart
Make of our vows, one last vow
Only death will part us now
Make of our lives, one life
Day after day, one life
Now it begins, now we start
One hand, one heart

Take me home on the Memphis Flyer
Take me home to a point down south
Got to go just to keep from dying
Come on, baby,
You and me gonna play house
You and me on the wings of freedom
You and me leave it all behind
I can't say where it's all been leadin'
But come on, baby
Before we go changin' our mind
We can fly
Like a bird on the wings of a song
We get by
We're alive but you know that it won't
Be too long, be too long, be too long
Come on, honey
Time to be movin' on
Now or never, baby
Got to fly like a song of freedom
Got to fly just to save my soul
You get by on the song I'm singin'
Come on, baby
We're too young to be gettin' old
We can fly
Like a bird on the wings of a song
We get by
We're alive but we won't be too long
We can fly, we can fly,

Say that you'll marry me
Sometimes carry me
And I will be there forever more
For you
And if you marry me
I will give everything
And I will do anything that you need
We do
You'll know, by the love in my eyes
And the beat of my heart
I'll be there
You'll know, cause you'll never be lonely again
Anytime anywhere
This I promise
If you Marry me
Promise you'll stay with me
We'll make some memories
And maybe a dream or two
Will come true, who knows
This I can say for sure
All that I have is yours
You'll never wonder where I stand
It shows
You'll know, by the love in my eyes
And the beat of my heart
I'll be there
You'll know, cause you'll never be lonely again
Anytime anywhere
All I promise you I will be
If you'll only say you'll Marry me
I won't ever forget these words
And I'll love you for all I'm worth
If you say you will Marry me
Won't you Marry me

Mama don't know
What the preacher man know
But the preacher man know it all right
Papa don't know
What the preacher man do
When the preacher man come out tonight

Don't he touch you when he speaks?
Don't he touch you when he speaks?

The words I have to say
Maybe will be simple but they're true
Until you give your love
There's nothing more that we can do
Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
You say it's very hard
To leave behind the life we knew
But there's no other way
Now it's really up to you
Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom's the lesson we learned
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom's the lesson we learned
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
Do you know what I mean?

I give her all my love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her to
And I love her
She gave my everything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I love her
A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near me
Bright is the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her
I love her
I love her

Was a fool with my money
And I lost every dime
And the sun stopped shining
And it rained all the time
It did set me back some
But I made it through
But I'll never get over losing you
Do you know how much you mean to me?
Should've told you 'cause it's true
I'd get over losing anything
But I'll never get over losing you
When you're young
And there's time
To forget the past
You don't think that you will
But you do
But I know that I don't have time enough
And I'll never get over losing you
I've been cold
I've been hungry
But not for awhile
I guess most of my dreams have come true
With it all here around me
No peace do I find
'Cause I'll never get over losing you

Lonely lookin sky
lonely sky, lonely looking sky
and bein' lonely
makes you wonder why
makes you wonder why
lonely looking sky
lonely looking sky
lonely looking sky
Lonely looking night
lonely night, lonely looking night
and bein' lonely
never made it right
never made it right
lonely looking night
lonely looking night
lonely looking night
Sleep we sleep
for we may dream
while we may
dream we dream
for we may wake
one more day
one more day
Glory looking day
glory day, glory looking day
and all it's glory
told a simple way
behold it if you may
glory looking day
glory looking day

Lonely lady one, she run away.
And number two, she do the same.
Lady number three walk out on me
like number four.
Who's keeping score?
Lady five, oh how she lied.
She made me pay some dues.
Six and seven, eight, nine, ten,
they really were bad news.
Oh no, they'd only break my heart.
That's how it seems.
And then I finally came upon
a lady seventeen.
Lonely lady number seventeen,
she stayed a while.
She had the style.
Lonely lady number seventeen,
she got to be with lonely me.
Lonely, lonely lady number seventeen, yeah.
Lonely lady!
Ladies eleven, twelve and thirteen,
they came and went.
"Baby," I still can hear them sayin'
"It's time to repent."
I turned around,
and there she was
with such a sweet surprise:
a lovin' face,
lovin' smile,
and love lights in her eyes.
Lonely lady number seventeen,
you stayed a while.
You had the style.
Lonely lady number seventeen,
come on and be
with lonely me
Oh no, when lady fourteen walked out,
that's when I screamed.
No luck with lady fifteen
or sweet sixteen.
But lonely lady number seventeen,
you stayed a while.
You had the style.
Lonely lady number seventeen,
come on an be
with lonely me.
Lonely, lonely lady
number seventeen, yeah!
Lonely lady!

I bless the day I found you
I want my arms around you
And so I beg you: Let it be me.
Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling someone
Now and forever, let it be me.
Each time we meet, love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love, what would life be?
So never leave me lonely
Tell me that you love me only

I've seen the light
And I've seen the flame
And I've been this way before
And I'm sure to be this way again;
For I've been refused
And I've been regained
And I’ve seen your eyes before
And I’m sure to see your eyes again
Once again.
For I've been released
And I've been regained
And I've sung my song before
And I'm sure to sing my song again
Once again.
Some people got to laugh
Some people got to cry
Some people got to make it through
By never won'dring why.
Some people got to sing
Some people got to sigh
Some people never see the light
Until the day they die;
But I've been released
And I've been regained
And I've been this way before
And I'm sure to be this way again
Once again.
One more time again

Broken windows
And empty hallways
A pale dead moon in a sky streaked with gray
Human kindness
Is overflowin'
And I think it's goin' to rain today
Scarecrows dressed
In the latest styles
With frozen smiles to chase love away
Human kindness
Is overflowin'
And I think it's goin' to rain today
Lonely
Lonely
Tin can at my feet
Kick it down the street
And that's the way to treat a friend
Right before me
The signs implore me
Help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowin'

Tommy sends you flowers
Lots of pretty things
Johnny buys you ribbons for your hair
They all send you presents
And because I know
You tell me that I don't really care
But I care enough to give the very best
I'd like to buy you things like all the rest
I know how much these little things can mean
But all that I can give you are my dreams
Billy takes you driving in his brand new car
Frankie takes you to the movie show
If you think I don't care
That they love you more
Look into my eyes and you will know
That I care enough to give the very best
I'd like to buy you things like all the rest
So darling please believe the things I say
So let me love you in my special way
Because I care enough to give the very best

There was a flood and many poor men were killed.
And that is why our house is built on the top of a hill.
The plains are like a friend, why can't we live on them?
And if a flood should come, why can't we run?
I am the lion, bellowing out in the night.
We had a cow, I left it alone to graze.
And walked to the stream and when I returned, it was stolen away.
But now the cow is gone and we don't need a farm.
We have not one thing they
would steal away.
I am the lion bellowing out at the night.
I am the lion bellowing out at the night.

Home before dark
Before the night comes falling
The sun going down
And I can hear you calling
I followed my star
Just to be where you are
But I couldn't get far
In the dark
Home before dark
Before the day deserts me
I looked for my truth
Knowing the truth might hurt me
Been traveling light
Just ahead of the night
To be getting home right
Before dark
I've been searching
Can't explain
Looked for reasons
But what I found in me
Know for certain
Things are changing
I've been changing
Now I need to be
Home where I can see
Home before dark
Before the light escapes me
To be at your side
That's where the journey takes me
And I've been afraid
If I lost my way
Then I wouldn't be saved
Before dark
I've got stories
I wanna tell you
You need to hear them
Maybe then you'll see
That I’d found them
Never knowing
They were going
On inside of me
It's where I had to be
Home before dark
Know you'll be waiting for me
To be at your door
And talking to a fool
In the morning
I’ve been so long
In places unknow
But I knew I'd get home
Before dark
Cos of you
I get home

The road is long with many a winding turn
That lead us to who knows where,
who knows where
But I'm strong,
strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go
His welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bear, we'll get there
For I know
he would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all,
I am laden with sadness that
everyone's heart isn't filled with the gladness
of Love for one another
It's a long long road
From which there is no return
while we're on our way to there why not share
And the load doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy , he's my brother
He ain't heavy

Tell me that we'll never be apart
Say that you'll always be there
And promise if you take my heart
Oh darlin',
Handle with care
You know I love you only
There are none who compare
So hold me when I am lonely
And always
Handle with care
I've heard stories of lovers apart
Spending their nights all alone
If you want me, take care of my heart....
Remember it's the only one I own
Give me all your kisses
Your love I don't want to share
We may end up Mr. and Mrs.
If only you,

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hey little boy
Just sitting on your back porch
Picking on your guitar
Wishing you were far away
Well, I can tell
You've had a little bit fo a dream
I see it in your eyes
I can hear it in the songs you play
And hey little boy
Just play it like you feel it
Make it so real
It's almost to real to take
Just swing it like a player
Make it like a prayer
It's one from the heart
Give it all of the heart it can take
And when you play what you wanna play
Just reach down to the soul
You keep on growing and you'll know some day
That sound is gonna turn into gold
Boy, you're taking me there
To guitar heaven
And without saying a word
You lay it all on the line
And make me leave my cares
In guitar heaven
Just go and play your song
I could stay all night
Play it son
(guitar solo)
You know, you're taking me there
To guitar heaven
You make me feel every sound
You make it shine like a light
I'm gonna lose my cares
In guitar heaven
You go and play that song
I'm gonna stay a while
Go and play that song, boy
I'm gonna stay a while
The way you play that song

Once there was a way
To get back home again
Once there was a way
To get back home
Sleep pretty darlin' do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles to greet you when you rise
Sleep pretty darlin' do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
You never gave me your pillow
You only gave me your invitation
And in the middle of the celebration
I pray now
Hey boy, you got to carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you got to carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you got to carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
And in the end,
The love you take

Came down to Washington Square
And found my future was there
Violet and white on her mast
The beacon bright from her past
A place where dreams can come true
Forever NYU
In this city of dreams
You gave me my wings
For everything that I planned
For everything that I am
I know I owe it to you

Fool that I am
Oh, I let love past me on by
Oh, now I know that so lonely
And every night I sit in my room
And think about a love that might have been
Fool that I am
Darling, you came to me
Oh, I turned you away
And I first consented
You offered a love, ya
That was so sweet and good
And now the chance
Will never come again
Fool that I am
Oh oh oh
Once I thought love was just a game, baby
Mmm mmm
Just to be played, to be played
Now I know the truth
It's t to late, It's just to late
A little bit to late
It's to late, to late, to late, to late
I turn this way
Just to have have you in my arms
But I know you'll turn away
It's all over
You gave me the chance, ya
For a lasting love
But I just laughed and sent you on your way
Fool That I Am
The Fool That I Am
The Fool That I Am
I'm not gonna let you see me cry, baby
But 'm not to proud, not to proud
I'll get down on my knees
No, I'm not to proud baby
No no no no no no no

Something in your eyes
Makes me want to lose myself
Makes me want to lose myself
In your arms
There's something in your voice
Makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts
The rest of my life
If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how low I've felt for so long
If you knew how I wanted someone
To come along
And change my life the way you've done
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
A window breaks
Down a long dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm alright 'cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see
Through the dark there's a light
If you knew how much this moment
Means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
If you knew how happy you are making me
I never thought I'd love anyone so much
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back
Where I come from
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

Fear of the marketplace
Afraid of the world outside a door
Maybe it's cold out there
And if it's cold, you can't come home anymore
Fear of the marketplace
Just gotta forget the whole damned thing
You're ready to take that fling
You're ready to make it swing, you've done it before
Just open the door
You and I
Know we tried
Tried it all before
And we almost made it thru
Long ago
Is so far away
Like a flame that would burn
In the heart of the night
Like a flame that would burn
Giving heat, giving light
It was right, yeah
Fear of the marketplace
Just taking that ride inside your head
Are you alive, or dead
When you're alive
You get to try one more time
It's gonna be fine
Gonna be fine
Try one more time
You can try one more time
Won’y you try one more time
Come on and try one more time
We can try, just one more time
One more time
We can try
Come on try, just one more time

Farewell
To all of the heartaches you brought
So long
To all of the tears I cried
Goodbye
To the bitter lesson you taught
Farewell, so long, goodbye
Through with having you walk on me now
How many times can one person die?
Once I was blinded
But I can see now
Farewell, so long, goodbye
If there was some way to start again
I'd try it
But we both know
It never can be
Wish I could say I won't even miss you
It's gonna hurt me and that's no lie
But I'll get hurt more if I stay with you

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow
Don' you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of heats is always your best bet
Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get
Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're loosin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you

Dear Father
we dream
we dream
we dream
while we may
Who are we to need
we need
we need
while we wait

Where I am, what I am
You're the only reason
Held me up, filled my cup,
Had the faith in me and love....
Owe it all to you, knowin' we're in love
There's nothing I can't do
And I'm not afraid to lose my way
'Cause if I walk a crooked street
You're there to lead me home
I've been through bad times
And some times worse
And till I met you 'happy' was just a word
But that all changed the day you came
Now if I walk a crooked street
You're there to lead me home
[Guitar instrumental]
And I'm not afraid to lose my way
'Cause if I walk a crooked street
You're there to lead me home
If I walk a crooked street

Days break, nights fall
And I wait alone
I sleep behind a wall
My silent call unknown
Create me
Create me
Take me in your hands and shape me
Wake me from this sleep to then begin again
To live again
Create me
Create me
Create me
Days break, nights fall
Each one the same
I wait behind a wall
To hear you call my name
Create me
Create me
Breathe your life into my soul
And know the greatest story told
Is you and I and how we tried
And how we won and what You've done
Creating me
How many seasons have we endured?
How many fields yet to plow?
Know that my destiny is tied to yours
Just need to trust me; our destiny is now
Create me
Lift me up and give a meaning
To a dream that I've been dreaming, endlessly
It comforts me to see you there
There you are; we've come so far
How many seasons have we endured?
How many fields yet to plow?
Know that my destiny is tied to yours
Just need to trust me; our destiny is now
Create me
Create me
Create me
Days break, nights fall

Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning
And the first thing that I heard
Was the song outside my window
And the traffic wrote the words
It came ringing up like Christmas bells
And rapping up like pipes and drums
Won't you stay
We'll put on the day
And we'll wear it 'till the night comes
Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning
And the first thing that I saw
Was the sun through yellow curtains
And a rainbow on the wall
Red, green and gold to welcome you
And crimson crystal beads to beckon
Won't you stay
We'll put on the day
There's a sun shower every second
(instrumental)
Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning
And the first thing that I knew
There was milk and toast and honey
And a bowl of oranges, too
And the light poured in like butterscotch
And stuck to all my senses
Won't you stay
We'll put on the day

I was lost until you found me
You're the reason for my today
Was tempest tossed, now I sleep soundly
Thanks to you I gladly say
That if your goldmine comes up empty
I'll be there to work the claim
If you're a captain of a shipwreck
I'll be first mate to your shame
Trust in me to share your burden
Stand by you where I belong
When life brings the day uncertain
I will soothe you with my song
And if your goldmine comes up empty
I'll be there to work the claim
If you're a captain of a shipwreck
I'll be first mate to your shame
Fear no flood in stormy weather
Fear no fire if winds arise
Flesh and blood, I'm yours forever
And forever, it never dies
And if your goldmine comes up empty
I'll be there to work the claim
If you're a captain of a shipwreck
I'll be first mate to your shame
If you're a captain of a shipwreck
You can find me up on the top deck
You'll be captain of a shipwreck

Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help
Falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand,
Take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand,
Take my whole life too
For I can't help
Falling in love with you
No, I can't help

There's a calm surrender
To the rush of day
When the heat of the rolling world
Can be turned away
An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
Can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
There's a time for everyone
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager
Beats in time with yours
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far

I thought this love of ours
Was here to stay
Your heart was true when love was new
But that was yesterday
Our love was warmer than a summer day
And ev'ry kiss told of our bliss
But that was yesterday
Yesterday's memories
Bring today's sorrows
Now that you're gone from me
We share no tomorrows
I still remember
Dear, the plans we made
You always said "Some day we'd wed,"

Silly boy, to think that she loves you
You're a toy, just part of the game
You think she needs you
But she misleads you
Yes, she's your girl, but only in name
Tenderly, she'll call you her only love
Can't you see her heart breaking aim?
She'll call you lover, then kiss another
Yes, she's your girl, but only in name
She's a girl with no heart at all
Breaking ev'ry rule
Still you wait on her beck and call
While she plays the field,
You play the fool
Please believe
These things that I'm telling you
She deceived my heart just the same
She was my lover 'til I discovered

Broad old woman
What goes on behind your mascara'd eyes?
Broad old woman,
I know you tried this world
Once or twice for size
Tell your story, I'll be listen'
Past time glories
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Broad old woman
How many men
Have kicked you down the stairs?
Broad old woman
And how many times
Have you done to same to theirs?
Sing your bad times
To this young boy
I know you have time
Yeah, yeah

Everybody says I'm better off without him
And Bobby never was my kind of boy
I must have heard a hundred times
How smart I was to leave that guy
But I know that
I was fooling everyone but me
O-O-Oh
But how am I supposed to make them see
That I didn't say goodbye
Bobby did, Bobby did
Every time somebody says congratulations
I just want to find a place for me to hide
Cause when it's him they're talking of
That talk's about the boy I love
Oh yeah,
To think I'm the one who put him down
O-O-Oh
But it was just the other way around
No, I never said goodbye
Bobby did, Bobby did
Cause when it's him they're talking of
That talk's about the boy I love
Oh yeah,
To think I'm the one who put him down
O-O-Oh
But it was just the other way around
No, I never said goodbye
Bobby did, Bobby did
Oh, Bobby did
Bobby did

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.
Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Well, I'm black and blue
From kickin' myself
For givin' you up to somebody else
Just treatin' you human is all I had to do
I got corns walkin' the floor
My shoes are all worn
And the carpets half torn
I'm kickin' myself
'Til I'm black and blue
Child, I'd be so happy
If you come back again
I've been getting slappy
From all this punishment
Well, I'm runnin' away
Is it doing me harm
Go and spend my days on a funny farm
If I can't spend them being close to you
'Cause I'm kickin' myself
It's making me black and blue

Oh yeah
I never never knew the sun could feel so good,
and for a while I thought it never would,
Then i got home and finally understood!
Its good to be back in L.A again
Good to be back on my own ground
Its good to be back home in L.A. again
Good to be back in my home town
Oh yeah
Ive traveled down the streets of Amsterdam,
Sung to a princess and I called her Ma'am
Hung out in London and in Paris, France.
Its good to be back in L.A again
Good to be back on my own ground
Its good to be back home in L.A. again
Good to be back in my home town!
Hey this is my world.Oh yeah.For the better or for worse
Oh no!
And this is my life.
Oh yeah!
Don't get to rehearse.
Oh no!
This is my time, and I like being free.
I know I can do it, if LA is there for me!
Oh yeah, I never knew the sun could shine so bright,
I can't remember where I stayed last night,
but now Im home and everything is all right!
Good to be back in LA

Movie show
Where almost anything can happen
Movie time
Anything you can imagine
See'mon, see'mon, see'mon, see'mon let's go
You got to see it to believe it
I hear that Hollywood's a very tough scene
Where else does someone eat their
Co-star on screen
Hey if you ever want to get away quick
There's nothing quicker then the movies
The guilty pleasure of a shoot-em-up flick
Enjoyed at leisure at the movie show
Bring along a new girl
Movie time
And maybe sit a little closer
Look out, look out, look out, look out
Oh no I hear an alien comin'
And when she sees it
She'll be right in your seat
Is there a better way for people to meet
You want adventure
They discovered the stuff
Don't need to venture past the movies
You need romance
They give you more than enough
They'll song and dance you
At the movie show
Movie show, hey the earth is in danger
Movie time and only one man can save us
See'mon, see'mon, see'mon, see'mon let's go
You know the odds are outrageous
And by the time he finally wins the fight
We're eating popcorn at the speed of light
You want to put yourself
Right into the scene
Well you can do it at the movies
Or maybe somethin'
That'll just make you scream
Why not go through it at the movies
You crave a mystery that boggles the mind
Well you can find it at the movies
A happy ending
That puts chills up your spine
There's one unwinding at the movie show,
Yeah

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you,"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers

Maybe tonight
I will say what's on my mind
But the words are oh so hard to find
When I try to speak
It comes out like nervous chatter
Then my knees get weak
And I can't stop shaking
I try to relax,
'Cause I must maintain my cool
She knows I'm here
If I don't make a move right now
She's goin' to disappear
Angel
I never met a girl that looks like you
Do-do-do do you even care
Angel
There's nothing in the world
That I won't do for you
Angel
I followed you home
And imagined me with you
Girl, I should have known
When I tried to dial your number
I'd hang up the phone
Angel, did you answer
Angel
I never met a girl that looks like you
Do-do-do do you even care
Angel
There's nothing in the world that
I won't do for you
Angel
And every time we meet
I feel like I got two left feet
And you,
You know what I'm goin' through
When I try to speak
It comes out like nervous chatter
Then my knees get weak
And I can't stop shaking
Angel
I never met a girl that looks like you
Do-do-do do you even care
Angel
There's nothing in the world
That I won't do for you
Angel
Angel
I never met a girl that looks like you
Do-do-do do you even care

Young it was
True it was
Days without wond'ring
Full with a special thing
Laugh, I could laugh
And I did
And the singer sings his song
And the children dance along
And the singer sings his song
And we dance along
Good it was
When it was,
We chased the flowers
Warm summer showers
Once, it was once
Long ago
And the singer sings his song
And the children dance along
And the singer sings his song
And we dance along
Once, it was once
Long ago
And the singer sings his song
And the children dance along
And the singer sings his song
And we dance along
And the singer sings his song

Ev'ry one has someone
Ev'ry one but me
I'm alone, on my own
All I have is me
When I'm low and lonely, life is misery
No one's there, no one cares
All I have is me
Some people take for granted,
The one for whom they really care
But life is far from enchanted
When you got no one there
If I find my someone and she vows,
To be by my side all the time

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long anytime she goes away.
Wonder this time where she's gone,
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone,
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone, only darkness everyday.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.

There's love in the air
Well, can you feel it now?
There's love in the air, and that's nice
You're learnin' a lot
About each other's ways
You're learnin' a lot, ain't that right?
You work like a dog to try and get it good
You work with your heart, every day
You know when you're through
You're gonna take your friend and get away
To Acapulco (to Acapulco)
That's where they'll find us
In sunny blue waters
Where the sand is warm and friendly
Hey Acapulco, (hey Acapulco)
I hear you softly calling
We're sailing around the horn of love
To Acapulco
It's good and it's bad
When things are going right
It's good and it's bad, when they swing
But you know that you're glad
You finally get it right
You know that you're glad, so you sing
But at seventy two, it's hard to get around
At seventy two, but not now
It's me and it's you and we can get around
'Cause we know how
In Acapulco, (in Acapulco)
That's where they'll find us
In sunny blue waters
Where the sand is warm and friendly
Hey Acapulco, (hey Acapulco)
I hear you softly calling
We're sailing around the horn of love
To Acapulco
We're sailing around the horn of love

A taste of roses, that's what you gave me
And then you made me
Turn around and walk away
A taste of roses, that little moment
But I have sworn that I was born
For just that day
I was a child again
In a world orphaned with light
You showed me the day
And then you left me in the night
A taste of roses, that sweet beginning
Whose bitter end will be rememeber'd
Thru the years, with a taste of tears

Take my hand,
I'm a stranger in paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise
If I stand starry-eyed
That's a danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside
An angel like you
I saw your face
And I ascended
Out of the common place
Into the rare
Somewhere in space
I hang suspended
Until I know
There's a chance that you care
Won't you answer this fervent prayer
Of a stranger in Paradise
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for
But open your angel's arms
To this stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be

If you've been feeling blue
Hey, it's been the same for me
Now I'm here with you
You're exactly what I need
Put your defenses down
Let me show you now
This heart to heart is meant to be
Everything about you feels so right
I only want to have you in my life
All I really had to sing was somebody there for me
And if we stay right here all night
Don't you know it's a matter of love
Don't you know it's a matter of trust
A connection between you and me
Can't you see it's a matter of trust, matter of us, matter of love
We've got magic here, it's the power of love I know
It's dancing in the air, I can feel the feeling grow
Put your defenses down
Let me hold you now
And I won't ever let you go
Everything about you feels so right
I only want to have you in my life
All I really had to sing was somebody there for me
And if we stay right here all night
Don't you know it's a matter of love
Don't you know it's a matter of trust
Nothing's ever gonna seperate us
You and me, it's a matter of trust, matter of us, matter of love
Put your defenses down
Let me hold you now
And I won't ever let you go
Say, everything about you feels so right
I only want to have you in my life
All I really had to sing was somebody there for me
And if we stay right here all night
Don't you know it's a matter of love
Don't you know it's a matter of trust
A connection between you and me
Can't you see it's a matter of trust, matter of us, matter of love

Walk out
Girl don't you walk out
We've got things to say
Talked out, let's have it talked out
Thinks will be okay
Girl,
I don't want to fight
I'm a little bit wrong
And you're a little bit right
I said Girl,
You know that its' true
It's a little bit me ( a little bit me)
And it's a little bit you.... too
Don't know ....
Just what I said wrong
But girl I apologize
Don't go... here's where you belong
So wipe the tears from your eyes
Girl I don't want to fight
I'm a little bit wrong
And you're a little bit right
I said girl,
You know that it's true
It's a little bit me
And it's a little bit you... too
Oh girl
I don't want to fight
I'm a little bit wrong
And you're a little bit right
I said girl,
You know that it's true
It's a little bit me
And it's a little bit you.... too
It's a little bit me
It's a little bit you
Girl don't go
No no no no no
Girl don't go
No no no no no

You left me once
For someone new dear
Then he left you , dear
And to ease your pain
I took you back
Now I discover you've found another
And I'm a fool all over again
You came back cryin'
Said you were wrong
But you were lyin' all along
My friends all said
That you'd forsake me
And that you'd make me
Part of your game
But I said
No, she she'll stop her messin'
She's learned her lesson

Home is a wounded heart, haven't you heard the story?
He's out for love and for glory and she's waitin' home by the fire.
And wasn't it yesterday, wasn't it me who said it?
I swore that you'd never regret it.
Now home is a wounded heart.
It's a complicated thing, not an ordinary thing
and my heart just breaks in two
'cause I can see you standing there.
You know that I can't bear your wounded heart.
Paint me a red balloon; give me a string and baby I'll tie it,
give me a ring and baby I'll buy it and bring it on home to you.

You, get me feelin' crazy
There always on my mind
And I get to feelin' lately
If I never knew your name,
I'd love you all the same
But I have you to myself
Wanting nothing else
Knowing that you're mine
Good time,bad time,all the time
Hands reachin' 'cross a room
And I know somewhere inside my mind
If I never knew your name,
I'd love you all the same,
But I have you to myself
Wanting nothing else
Knowing that you're mine
Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba
And I know somewhere inside my mind
If I never knew your name,
I'd love you all the same
But I have you to myself
Wanting nothing else
Knowing that you're mine
Have you to myself
Wanting nothing else

Barbra
You don't bring me flowers
You don't sing me love songs
Neil
You hardly talk to me anymore
When you come through that door at the end of the day...
Barbra
I remember when you couldn't wait to love me
Used to hate to leave me
Now after loving me late at night
Neil
When it's good for you, babe
And you're feeling all right
Barbra
When you just roll over and turn out the light...
And you don't bring me flowers anymore
Neil
It used to be so natural
Barbra
It used to be...
Neil
To talk about forever
Barbra
Mmm...
Neil
But used-to-bes don't count anymore
They just lay on the floor
Till we sweep them away
Barbra
And baby I remember all the things you taught me
Neil
I learned how to laugh and I learned how to cry
Barbra
Well, I learned how to love and I learned how to lie
Neil
So you think I could learn how to tell you goodbye
Barbra
So you think I could learn how to tell you goodbye
You don't bring me flowers any more...
Both
Well, you think I could learn how to tell you goodbye...
Neil
Cause you don't say you need me;
Barbra
You don't sing me love songs;
Both

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, I yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

I never noticed when you changed your hair
Just another of those moments, I was only half there
When you wore that red dress, that was kind'a up to here
I never noticed, you were wearing a tear
I was always trying to win the world
What on earth was I thinking of
One time too often, I didn't hold you enough
I was always trying to win the world
But somewhere I lost you, I never saw you
Only trying to win my love
It should have been easy, for all of those times
It would have been me there, if I knew the signs
When you wore that red dress, how could I know then
You'd wear it for me once, and never wear it again
I was always trying to win the world
What on earth was I thinking of
One time too often, I didn't hold you enough
I was always trying to win the world
But somewhere I lost you, 'cause I never saw you
Only trying to win my love
Somewhere I lost you, 'cause I never saw you

Walk on water, ain't it like her,
She leads the children,
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right!
And ain't it wond'rous, the way she does it,
Gives love and loves it,
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right!
Light de light, we got mornin', mornin' makes another day,
Glory sight, got de dawnin',
Lordy, light the night away!
Light de light, we got mornin', mornin' makes another day,
Glory sight, got de dawnin'
Lordy, light the night away!
Light de light, we got mornin', mornin' makes another day,
Glory sight, got de dawnin'
Lordy, light the night away!
She walks on water, ain't it like her,
She leads the children,

The story of my life is very plain to read
It starts the day you came
And ends the day you leave
The story of my life begins and ends with you
The names are still the same
And the story's still the truth
I was alone.
You found me waiting and made me your own
I was afraid
That somehow I never could be a man that you wanted of me
You're the story of my life, and every word is true
Each chapter sings your name
Each page begins with you
It's the story of our times and never letting go
If I die today, I wanted you to know
Stay with me here
Share with me, care with me
Stay and be near
and when it began I'd lie awake every night
Just knowing somewhere deep inside
That our affair just might write
The story of my life it's very plain to read
It starts the day you came

Yeah let me show you the streetlife
Hey let me show you the finks, the punks, the judge, the junk
And stay close to me for a while, for a while, for a while
Save all you got to get streetwise
Hey little boy you're a ?? stay out of harm's way
Right here with me for a while, for a while, for a while
Streetlife
Hell in the city
You've got to really watch your for bad
Streetlife
Say it ain't pretty
You've got to know your way around
Or somehow you might get hurt, get hurt, get hurt
Say let me show you the nightlife
Say let me show you the queens, the dudes, the glass, the grooves
The folks who do ?? in the city bright
I'm gonna give you my warning
I'm gonna tell you the street's alive, the sound, the jive
Has just arrived, track it for size
For a while, for a while, for a while
Streetlife
Hell in the city
You've got to really watch out for that
Streetlife
Say it ain't pretty
You've got to know your way around

It was getting deeper into the night
knew you weren't coming home
nothing I was doing was right and now
I've got to face it alone
the night getting darker baby the darker it got
struggled with why and what
but I could not fight what I knew was true I was
not going to get thru the night
without the power of two
me and you
feeling like I'm out on a ledge standing
with my back to the wall l use to be I'd go straight ahead
now I'm going nowhere at all
the night getting longer baby the longer it went
just didn't make any sense
couldn't see couldn't hear didn't know what to do
was like I had no power at all without the power of two
Me and You
I never knew before that two was more then one and one
until that night
there's nothing I could do but think of how I'm losing you
and it shook me it shock me
You locked me out there
looking for a place I could hide
searching for a corner to turn ya left me here alone for one night
showed me I had something to learn
I tried not to need you but I needed you anyway
it wouldn't be easy to say
but the way that I see it I'm half without you
and I'm not going to make myself whole
without the power of two
me and you
Morning couldn't wait
I knew that it was getting late
but I hung on I had no choice at all
it was either walk away or crawl and
I'm Bleeding I'm Bleeding
I think I'm falling deeper into that hole
deeper then I thought I could get
like a bug that's stuck in a bowl climbing out is impossible
yet he keeps trying harder,
harder then he thought he could
I finally understood
I could hear I could see and the truth came through
we had ten time the power of one
we had the power of two
me and you there's nothing we couldn't do
just me and you

The last Picasso, the last Picasso was just acquired by some old museum, and Don Quixote, Well Don Quixote the old man's rhyme has lost its reason; which only reminds me have I remembered to say that without you this life of plenty, would seem so empty, the last Picasso. Oh me and you--me oh me oh me oh me and you-- We, we can sigh--me oh me oh me oh me oh we can sigh. The last Picasso, the last Picasso may gather dust amid the ruins, and Don Quixote, Well Don Quixote may no longer make his wishful tunes; but I still have you and I will have you when ev'rything else is gone and done with. We'll be like one with the last Picasso. Oh me and you--me oh me oh me oh me oh me and you-- We, we can sigh--me oh me oh me oh me oh we can sigh. Oh, me and you--me oh me oh me oh me oh me and you-- We, we can sigh--me oh me oh me oh me oh we can sigh. Oh, me and you--we we can sigh me oh me oh me oh we can sign. Oh, me and you.

Well, I am the drifter
I walk the highways
I cross the river
That rolls on forgotten
I sing for the living
Live for the trying
But what's it about
If you got to be trying alone
And I'm the dreamer
Who climbed the mountain
Who saw forever
Across the ocean
But you found me waiting
And knew that I would
Be lost forever
I kept on trying alone
They call me the drifter
And I walk the highways
I crossed every river
That rolled on forgotten
I'd sing for the living
But inside was dying
'Cause what's it about
If you got to be trying alone
Well, I'm the drifter
Who solved the answer
And when I found you
I knew for ever
Would be for ever
And not for some time
And you'd be mine
Won't have to be trying alone
Now I sing like a dreamer
And I walk like I'm flying
I looked in your eyes
There was no use denying
You cared for that moment
And I knew the answer
I came for a while
And I stayed for the rest of my life
I came for a while
And I stayed for the rest of my life
I came for a while
And I stayed for the rest of my life
Well, I was the drifter
And I walked the highways
I crossed every river
That rolled on forgotten
I sang for the living
And lived for the trying
I came for a while

Hollywood don't do what it once could do
I used to wake up and write me a song before noon
So I packed my dusty bags one night
Grabbed an old guitar and I caught a red eye(?) flight
In search of a dream underneath the Tennessee Moon
I fell in love to an old Hank Williams tune
Makes me wonder, is it the same moon Hank played under
Touched down and she stole my heart right away
Began to think for the first time I might stay
And when I heard that lonesome whistle moan
Knew I'd finally found my way back home
In search of a dream underneath the Tennessee Moon
I fell in love to an old Hank Williams tune
And I wonder, is it the same moon Hank stood under
When he sang about Jambalaya and Being Lonesome Enough to Cry
And I can hear the echos in the sounds of his guitar
And his words still paint a picture in my heart
Yeah, In search of a dream underneath the Tennessee Moon
I fell in love to an old Hank Williams tune
I was in search of a dream underneath the Tennessee Moon

Suzanne takes you down
To her place by the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night forever
And you know the girl's half crazy
That's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you want to tell her
That you have no love to give her
She gets you on her wavelength
And lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watchin'
From a lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drownin' men could see him
He said all men are sailors, then
Until' the sea shall free them
But he, himself, was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath
Your wisdom like a stone
And you wanna travel with him
Ahh, you wanna travel blind
And you think that you might trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind
Suzanne takes you down
To her place by the river
And you can hear the boats that go by
You can spend the night forever
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbor
And she shows you where to look
Amid the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leanin' out for love
And they will lean that way forever

Summerlove
They call it Summerlove
But, oh, how it feels
And I don’t believe make-believe
But, I was a lonely boy,
And you were a lonely girl
And we’re together tonight…
Summerlove made it right.
Summerlove
They call it Summerlove
But, somehow it’s real
‘could see by that look in your eyes
That you were a lonely girl,
And I was a lonely boy
And when the evening was done
Summerlove made us one.
And I don’t believe make-believe
But, I was a lonely boy,
And you were a lonely girl
And when the evening was done
Summerlove made us one.
I was a lonely boy,
And you were a lonely girl
And we’re together tonight…
We’re together tonight.
Summerlove

The night was clear and the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumblin' down
I was standin' on the corner
When I heard my bulldog bark
And he was barkin' up at the two men
Who were gamblin' in the dark
It was Stagger Lee and Billy
Two men who gambled late
Stagger Lee threw a seven
Billy swore, he threw an eight
Stagger Lee told Billy
"I cant let you get away with that
Well, you've won all my money
And my brand new Stetson hat"
Stagger Lee ran home
Went and got him his 44
Said, "I'm going to the bar room
Just to pay that debt that I owe"
Go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee
Said, "I'm going to the bar room
Just to pay that debt that I owe"
Stagger Lee went to the bar room
Boy, he stood across the bar room doors
Said, "Now, nobody move"
And he pulled out his 44
Stagger Lee, cried Billy
"Oh, please don't you take my life
I got me three little children
And a very sickly wife"
Go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee
Got me three little children
And a very, very sickly wife
Go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee
Stagger Lee shot Billy
Boy, he shot that poor boy so bad
Then the bullet came through Billy
And went right through the bartenders glass
While I was standin' on the corner
When I heard my bulldog bark
And he was barkin' up at the two men
Who were gamblin' in the dark, go
Go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee
Well, he was barkin' up at the two men
Who were gamblin' in the dark
Go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee, go Stagger Lee
Said, "I'm going to the bar room
Just to pay that debt that I owe"

Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again
Sing them out again
Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow
Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know, start to feeling good
You simply got no choice
Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue

Believe me
I'm someone who believes in you
Say, you really had a million dollars
And a car for every day of the week
So what? You know what?
It wouldn't mean not a single thing
Without that someone
Who believes it too
Yeah, you gotta have someone
Who believes in you
Say, you really had a hollywood contract
And your face up on the big billboard
Big car, big star
You'd move a lot, but you wouldn't get far
Without that someone
Who believes it too
You better have someone
Who believes in you
You are the truest part of me
That quiet place where I can be strong
You come to fill my deepest needs
You call my name, and I hear your song
Believe me
There's someone who believes in you
So, you really got the hots for stardom
All you need is some big guitar
To take you, and make you
Into an overnight star
And then you'll find that
Stars get lonesome too
And you better have someone
Who believes in you
You are the truest part of me
That tender place where I can be strong
You come to fill my deepest needs
You speak my name, and I hear your song
So you really want a job in the circus
Paint you face and make the people smile
A clown, come on down
You've been too long walking that high wire
When you're falling, you'll be calling to
Be calling out to someone who believes you
Someone who's there when nobody needs you

Pick it up. Hurry up son. Eat on the run if you wanna get done.
Greed, speed, where does it lead you?
Wanna succeed? You thinking you need to?
But are you really sure?
It's a lot to endure, but I got me a cure.
Slow it down! Slow it down, yea.
Slow it down.
Take your time and you'll find your time has a meaning.
Easy now.
Catch those sounds of your heartbeat before it's leaving.
You say you want satisfaction,
Try standing away from the action,
Get some traction between you and the scenery.
Sail away,
Not too fast, it don't last, just thought I would mention.
Day by day,
See that view, it's for you, just pay some attention.
Forget about competition, your due for an incommission,
Stop your wishing, you won't get there by dreaming.
Slow it down.
Slow it down, yea.
Take your time.
Even Einsten reclined, designing his theory.
Doing fine.
Make it flow, let it go, you'll see it more clearly.
You're looking for bigger and greater,
And counting on sooner or later.
That's the way, kid around, gettin' weary.
Slow it down.
Slow it down.
Slow it down.
Slow it down, yea.

Skybird
make your tune
for none may sing it
just as you do
(And let your song be heard!)
Look at the way I glide
caught on the wind's lazy tide
sweetly how it sings
rally each heart at the sight
of your silver wings
Skybird, skybird
Nightbird
find your way
for none may know it
just as you may
(Seek out your harbor of light!)
(Let your song be heard!)
(Rally each heart to the sign of your silver wings!)

The end of the road, is lonesome and cold
Ain't no place for making a stand
I got too much of you on my mind
Too much time on my hands
Some people say there just ain't no way
We can hold on and see this thing thru
I don't care what they say
They never loved one like you
Shame, it comes in every size
Touches many lives
Knocks on many doors
Shame, I've seen it in your eyes
Hurt you with their lies
But words don't count at all
Because I don't care what they say
There ain't no shame in loving you
I remember the day that I drove you away
Lord that whistle gave a lonesome moan
The train that took you away
Is gonna bring you back home
And I'll be standing right there in the cold mornng air
When that train comes a rolling in
Knowing, once you're back in my arms
You won't be leaving again
Shame, it comes in every size
Touches many lives
Knocks on many doors
Shame, I've seen it in your eyes
They'll hurt you with their lies
But their words don't count at all
Because I don't care what they say
There ain't no shame in loving you
No, I don't care what they say
There ain't no shame in loving you
Me, I don't care what they say

Stay for just a while
Stay and let me look at you
It's been so long, I hardly knew you
Standing in the door
Stay with me a while
I only wanna sing for you
We've traveled halfway 'round the world
To find ourselves again
September morn
We danced until the night became a brand new day
Two lovers playing scenes from some romantic play
September morning still can make me feel that way
Look at what you've done
Why? You've become a grown-up girl
I still can hear you crying
In a corner of your room
Look how far we've come
So far from where we used to be
But not so far that we've forgotten
How it was before
September morn
We danced until the night became a brand new day
Two lovers playing scenes from some romantic play
September morning still can make me feel that way
[Incomprehensible]
Me and you
I can still remember it all
September morn
We danced until the night became a brand new day
Two lovers playing the scenes from some romantic play
September morning still can make me feel that way
September morn
We danced, we danced that night away, yes
Two lovers playing the scenes from some romantic play
September morning still can make me feel that way
September morning still can make me feel that way

Hey I know
When the wind comes blowing across the meadows
It sings your name
And I've seen
The starry nights fall across the ghettos
It sings the same
And I feel
The light in your eye
And it's calling me
Stay, just a little bit longer
It burns
Like a fiery star
In the midst of the night
And it's pulling me under
Can anybody save me, save me
Save me from the storm
Save me, save me
Save me, 'fore I'm gone
I'm only a man
And a man's gotta break
There's a lot who can stand
But not a lot who can take
Save me
Something is taking me over
And there's no place that I can hide
Sweet dreams
My love and I by the edge of the river
Are feeling that glow
And we drink
Making love in the sand
And I love being with her
But I got to go slow
'Cause I know
Just as sure as the waves come beat on the sand
I'm a man who's divided
And one night
Burning hot with a kiss and I try to resist
But there's no way to fight it
Hey, can anybody save me, save me
Save me from the storm
Save me, save me
Save me, 'fore I'm gone
I'm only a man
And a man's gotta break
There's a lot who can stand
But not a lot who can take
Save me
Something is taking me over
And there's no where that I can hide
Won't you save me
Someone is making me love her
It's breaking me up inside

Right by you, right by you
Want to do right by you
All night long
Right by you, right by you
Want to be right by you
All night long
Why don't you tell me
I need to hear you say it
Come on and tell me
Just wanna hear it told
Don't I do right by you
Baby, don't I do right by you
All night long
Come on and say it
I love to hear you whisper
Just say you love me
I got to hear it told
Don't I do right by you
Baby, don't I do right by you

Being here is being where I want to be
I don't suppose you'll ever know how much you mean
And for all the heartaches we've been thru
I know that I could not forget my time with you
I'd much rather stay
But I'll be on my way
And never again see you smile
For all that it's worth
I'd move heaven and earth
To just reminisce for a while
There was a time I had the will to carry on
But I let go even though you're what I want
Could have been to keep you warm when I was gone
I never knew that near you's where I belong
I'd much rather stay
But I'll be on my way
And never again see you smile
For all that it's worth
I'd move heaven and earth
To just reminisce for a while

Only you
You and the night and the right kind of music
And ony you
There's only you
And only the moments that we've spent together will ever do
And only me
Me like the fool with his head in the cloud
Could belive
But I believe
Dreams will come true
With only you
And so I dreamed
I'll wait for the moment I'm praying and hoping that what I dreamed
Will soon come true
I'll have you forever and never be lonely again
Not only friends, but lovers too
With only you
Me, I was that fool on the hill
You know I will be waiting there still
Hoping you'd come back again
I heard your name
Echoing soft thru the trees
I know it was calling to me
And nothing could keep me away
I only wanted to hold you
And only you
There's only you
And only me
Me like the fool with his head in the cloud
Could belive
But I believe
Dreams will come true
With only you
Me, I was that fool on the hill
You know I will be waiting there still
Hoping you'd come back again
I heard your name
Echoing soft thru the trees
I know it was calling to me
And nothing could keep me away
I only wanted to hold you
And only you
You and the night and the right kind of music
And ony you
Hey, there's only you
Only you
Hey, it's only you

Once in a while I would call asking lonely to find you there
Once in a while I would call asking only to know
And once you were mine long ago when the evening was warm and free
Once you were mine when the evening was full with that glow
And who could have known we'd have flown far away from the way we were
Knowing the way we were
Once in a while, once in a while
And who could have known we'd have flown far away from the way we were
Knowing the way we were
Once in a while, once in a while
And who would have known, we'd have flown like two birds to another place
Only to find our space

Something's gotta be known
Some don't need to be said
Which way we're gonna go
Staying home's just making me mad
Me, I gotta get out
Me, I got a few rights
Don't need to worry or doubt
'Cause I'm gonna be rocking tonight
Get on board
Check it out
Look around,
Ain't no limit to what love allows
You and me
Let it be
Be just fine
No limit to it anytime
Me, I'm telling the truth
Saying it right in the crowd
Any chance with you
Hey you know I'm gonna be around
Get on board
Check it out
Look around,
Ain't no limit to what love allows
If we don't make it
We don't make it
I won't cry
Well, I've been thinking
And I know one thing
We're never gonna make it
If we don't try
Me, I'm feeling good
Ain't no fooling around
I've been misunderstood
But I know what I'm talking about
Get on board
Check it out
Look around,
Ain't no limit to what love allows
You and me
Got to fly
Set it free
No limit if you just know how

I knew a man, Bojangles and he danced for you
In worn out shoes
Silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants
The old soft shoe
He jumped so high
He jumped so high
Then he'd lightly touch down
I met him in a cell in New Orleans, I was
Down and out
He looked to me to be the eyes of age
As he spoke right out
He talked of life
He talked of life
He laughed, clicked his heels and stepped
He said his name, Bojangles and he danced a lick
Across the cell
He grabbed his pants, a better stance
Oh, he jumped so high
Then he clicked his heels
He let go a laugh
He let go a laugh
Pushed back his clothes all around
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Dance
He danced for those in minstral shows and county fairs
Throughout the south
He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him
Traveled about
The dog up and died
He up and died
After twenty years he still grieves
He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks
For drinks and tips
But most the time I spend behind these county bars
'cause I drinks a bit
He shook his head
And as he shook his head
I heard someone ask him please
Please
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles

Morningside
The old man died
And no one cried
They simply turned away
And when he died
He left a table made of nails and pride
And with his hands he carved these words inside
"For my children"
Morning light
Morning bright
I spent the night
With dreams that make you weep
Morning time
Wash away the sadness from these eyes of mine
For I recall the words the old man signed
"For my children"
And the legs were shaped with his hands
And the top made of oaken wood
And the children sat around this table
Touched with their laughter
Ah, and that was good
Morningside
An old man died
And no one cried
He surely died alone
And truth is sad
For not a child would claim the gift he had
The words he carved became his epitaph
"For my children"
Home
Sanctus
Home

L.A. proved too much for the man
(He couldn't make it)
So he's leavin' the life he's come to know
[He said he's goin']
He said he's goin' back to find
Ooh, what's left of his world
The world he left behind
Not so long ago
He's leavin'
On that midnight train to Georgia
Said he's goin' back
To a simpler place in time
And I'll be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine
He kept dreamin'
That someday he'd be a star
But he sure found out the hard way
That dreams don't always come true
So he pawned all his hopes
And he even sold his old car
Bought a one way ticket back
To the life he once knew
Oh yes he did
He said he would
He's leavin'
On that midnight train to Georgia
Said he's goin' back to find
A simpler place in time
And I'm gonna be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in his world
Than be without him in mine
He's leavin'
On that midnight train to Georgia
Said he's goin' back to find
A simpler place in time
And I've gotta be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in his world
Than be without him in mine
Go, gonna board, gonna board
The midnight train to Georgia
Gonna board the midnight train
Gotta go, gonna board
Gonna board

I'm sittin' on a mountain
Searchin' for an answer
Hopin' there's a chance
That she'll be comin' back to me
Midnight dream
I'm waitin' on the mountain
Thinkin' I can find her
Maybe if I find her,
Here is where she'll want to be
Midnight dream
I made my way down to Mexico
I spend a year travelin' 'cross the ocean
Without goin' anywhere
A hundred miles to the nearest phone
A thousand miles from a place called home
And all alone in my despair
I'd call you there
My midnight dream
So I'm sittin' on a mountain
Lookin' 'cross a river
Needin' to be with her
More than I believed I'd be
Midnight dream
I'm sittin' all alone now
Knowin' what I know now
Thought I'd be a teacher
But she would end up teachin' me
Midnight dream
I know that I lost my way one night
But if you ask me
It don't seem right
To spend my life without you there
And so I climbed to the highest peak
Just hopin' somehow that I what I seek
Will somehow speak and you'll appear
My midnight dream
Where are you, don't let go
So I'm sittin' on a mountain
How can I explain it
I'm livin' with the pain of thinkin' how it
Still could be
Midnight dream
Love is what I'm thinkin'
No two ways about it
Go too long without it,
Nothing really means a thing
Midnight dream
But if you haven't decided yet
Might be the only chance we get
Let's don't forget 'bout you and me
I finally ended where I began
You see before you
The sorry soul, the lonely man
I've come to be
Please come to me
My midnight dream
Oh come to me

I'm headed for Memphis, ridin' a '59 Ford
Good paying job, girl
Bein' alone makes it hard
Find myself taking rides
Through the Memphis streets
Look out and watch the view
Girl, you know I don't see a thing
Can't get my mind off of you
Na na na na na na na na na na na na
Work on the day shift
Come back to my three dollar room
I'm a ten dollar dreamer
And I'm going to make it come true
But now I'm taking rides
Through the Memphis streets
Look out and watch the view
Girl, you know I don't see a thing
Can't get my mind off of you
Na na na na na na na na na na na na
Find myself taking rides
Through the Memphis streets
Look out and watch the view
Girl, you know I don't see a thing
Can't get my mind off of you.
Na na na na na na na na na na na na
Taking rides through the Memphis streets
Look out and watch the view
Girl, you know I don't see a thing

If I lost my way
Would you stand with me
Would you love me still
And care for what I need
If I lost my way
If I lost my faith
To face up to the test
Would I let you down
Would you love me less
If I lost my way
Tell me I'm afraid without good reasons
Say that I'm a fool to feel this way
Could it be the me that you believed in
Is all you really need to make you stay
If I lost my way
If I lost my way
If I lost my dreams
Could I keep your trust
Promise that our love
Would not turn to dust
If I lost my way
Tell me I'm afraid without good reasons
Say that I'm a fool to feel this way
Could it be the me that you believed in
Is all you really need to make you stay
If I lost my way
Would you stand with me
Would you love me still
And care for what I need
If I lost my way
If I lost my way
If I lost my way

How can I stay in this place
All that I see is her face
And every room just seems to haunt me
Why would she throw love away
Guess there's no reason to stay
Maybe it's time to close the door
Darlin',
Love it doesn't live here anymore
Why can't it be like before
I know that she still wants me
Tell me why, why did she have to go
Love doesn't live here, I know
I thought our love would go on
But somehow she knew all along
That we could never find an answer
Putting an end to our plans
Leaving my heart in my hands
Saying goodbye is such a chore
Darlin',
Love doesn't live here anymore
Why can't it be like before
I know that she still wants me
Tell me why, why did she have to go
Love doesn't live here
And we had something,
There can be no doubt
Now there's nothing left to talk about
She's the one thing I can't live without
How can I leave it all behind
And how could she throw love away
Guess there's no reason to stay
Maybe it's time to close the door
Darlin',
Love doesn't live here anymore
Why can't it be like before
I know that she still wants me
Tell me why, why did she have to go
Love doesn't live here anymore
Why can't it be like before
I know that she still wants me
Tell me why, why did she have to go
Love doesn't live here,
I know
I know
I know

You'd be better off
I know
With another kind of man.
AII I got is what I feel
And what I feel is what I am.
Let me take you in my arms again.
Let me take you in my arms
and then
Let me see behind your smile
Let me love you like a child
Let me take you in my arms.
I'm like a train that's rollin' on a track
Like a train that's got no turnin' back.
Let me keep you from the storm
Let me make you safe and warm
Let me take you in my arms.
You'd be better off
I know
. . .
Let me take you in my arms again.
Won't be easy
but I'll learn to bend.
Like a ship without a sail
On a sea without a trail
Let me take you in my arms.
You'd be better off
I know
. . .
Let me take you in my arms again.
Won't be easy
but I'll learn to bend
. . .
Let me take you in my arms again.
Let me take you in my arms
and then

The man on the right is a man undone
he'd give you his soul if you asked him for some.
A child in his way for he needs to believe
that love is a song for each man to sing.
The man on the left is a prize unwon
a candle unlit and a song unsung.
Believing that love is a dreamer's dream,
the man on the left the me in between.
Lady Magdelene, I can hear your distant trumpet
calling from the morning mountain,
singing to the passing river.
Take me home, show me peaceful days before my youth has gone.
The man in between waits between the two
not hearing the lie and not seeing the true.
Unknowing what is and denying what seems
and there he will sleep the man in between.
Lady Magdelene, I can hear your distant trumpet
calling from the morning mountain,
singing to the passing river.
Take me home, show me peaceful days before my youth has gone.
Lady Magdelene, make the sound of silent thunder
calling from the lips of Abraham
make a sound that we may wonder, where we are.
Take us to you soul for we have wandered far.
The man on the right was a man undone
the man on the left like a prize unwon.
And God only knows what their time will bring

Kentucky woman
She shines with her own kind of light
She'd look at you once
And a day that's all wrong
looks all right
And I love her
God knows, I love her
Kentucky woman
If she get to know you
She goin' to own you
Kentucky woman
Well, she ain't the kind
Makes heads turn at the drop of her name
But something inside
That she's got turn you on just the same
And she loves me
God knows, she loves me
Kentucky woman
If she get to know you
She goin' to own you
Kentucky woman
I don't want much
The good Lord's earth beneath my feet
A gentle touch
From that one girl, and life is
Sweet and good
Ain't no doubt
I'm talkin' about
Kentucky woman
If she get to know you
She goin' to own you

When the night returns just like a friend
When the evening comes to set me free
When the quiet hours that wait beyond the day make
Peaceful sounds in me
Took a drag from my last cigarette
Took a drink from a glass of old wine
Closed my eyes and I could make it real and
Feel it one more time
Can your hear it babe? Can your hear it babe?
From another time. From another place.
Do you remember it babe?
And the radio played like a carnival tune
As we lay in our bed in the other room
When we gave it away for the sake of a dream
In a penny arcade
if you know what I mean
If you know what I mean babe
And here's to the songs we used to sing
And here's to the times we used to know
It's hard to hold them in our arms again but
Hard to let them go
Do you hear it babe? Do you hear it babe?
It was another time. It was another place.
Do you remember it babe?
And the radio played like a carnival tune
As we lay in our bed in the other room
When we gave it away for the sake of a dream
In a penny arcade. If you know what I mean

If there were no dreams
And there were no dreamers
And how could I dream you up
You're still a mystery to me
The way that we love
The life that we're leading
I don't wanna give you up
Whatever I'll have to do, I'll do
Put a mountain there and I'll tear it down
If it's much too high then I'll go around
I won't stop for anyone or anything
And I'd love you even if there were no dreams
If there were no dreams
How could we be lovers
And how could I need you so
The reasons clear to even me
I know that it's right
You don't need to wonder
If you're up against that wall
I'm gonna be up against it too
If a mountain's there we can tear it down
If it's much too high we'll just go around
We won't stop for anyone or anything
We'd be lovers even if there were no dreams
Yes we would

If I don't see you again,
it was a hell of a ride.
Don't need to say let's be friends,
don't need to promise you'll write.
We rode that train through the night
and never cared where it went. If I don't see you again.
If I don't see you again,
we ran a whole other race.
Two strangers meet on the road
and find their time and their place.
We never once had to lie,
we pass the age of consent. If I don't see you again.
I know it's crazy out there.
I hated sleeping around.
I went out looking for love
and never liked what I found.
Don't pay to make it alone.
God knows it's lonely out there.
I made it once on my own,
and hardly anyone cared. If I don't see you again.
Who you gonna run to, baby?
Who you gonna hide behind
when the nights get suddenly cold?
Whose gonna hold you?
Whose gonna know? Who will you go to?
Who you gonna call if it ain't me?
When you feelin' lost
and there's nobody out there lookin' for you?
What will you do?
Where will you go? If I don't see you again?
If I don't see you again,
you made it happen somehow.
I think I gave up on life,
but I feel better right now.
Something you said turned me 'round.
Don't even know what you meant. If I don't see you again.
And at the end of the day,
I hated sleepin' alone.
There's nothing worse when you're lost,
and you don't want to go home.
It's gonna work out someway,
I just don't want to be found.
I'm waitin' here 'round the bend,
and I'll be hanging around. If I don't see you again.
Who am I kiddin,'
I'm going nowhere.
I can't even get through
an hour without you.
Should be ashamed,
just want to hear you, callin' my name.
Two of us missed connections.
Guess we must of somehow
missed something more.
'Cause we're here alone.
I know we're together.
But too far apart to know how to get back home.
It's time for sayin' good-bye
'cause if I stay for too long,
You'd get to know me too well
and find that something is wrong.
The time is perfect to go
before the curtain descends.
Right now when both of us know
that everything's got to end. If I don't see you again.
What's it gonna come to, baby?
Who you gonna hide behind
when the nights get filled up with doom?
Lookin' to run, you run out of room.
And will you be the one to save me?
Doesn't look like the future is clear and,
Need you to hear me
playin' a tune when nobody hears me,
I ended up playin' to the moon.
It's time for sayin' good-bye
'cause if I stay for too long,
You'd get to know me too well
and find that something was wrong.
The time is perfect to go
before the curtain descends,
Right now when both of us know
that everything's got to end. If I don't see you again.
If I don't see you again,
somehow we both made it through.
I woulda gave up on life
before I gave up on you.
You went and turned me around.
'Could be was something you said.
I couldn't make out the sound.
I didn't care what it meant.
If I don't see you again.

We'll there's no need explaining
It doesn't really matter anyway
So you let the rain in
And being sorry's not enough to say
And though you'll never make it right
I'm glad you're here with me tonight
Hey babe, the sunshine's on you
Even though the skies are dark and gray
Well, if I have to miss you
I'd just as soon begin some other day
And though you'll never make it right
I'm glad you're here with me tonight
Out there in the storm
Not everyone is safe and warm
Now the leaves are falling
I guess they didn't have much more to say
And with the winter calling
It's gonna be a long and lonely day
And though you'll never make it right
I'm glad you're here with me tonight
Cause out there in the storm
Not everyone is safe and warm
Oh, no
And if we never make it right
I'm glad you're here with me tonight
If we never make it right
I'm glad you're here with me tonight
So glad to have you, babe (stay right here tonight)
So glad baby (oh, no)

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me, that's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love and I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried
I thought love was more or less a giving thing
Seems the more I gave, the less I got
What's the use in trying, all you get is pain
When I needed sunshine, I got rain
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love and I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried
Love was out to get me, that's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love and I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried
I saw her face, now I'm a believer

Oh no, no, no
Baby, something's wrong
Oh no, no, no
That old time fire's gone
It's not so much things you say, love
It's what you don't say I am afraid of
I got the feelin'
I'm hearin' goodbye
Don't have to say it
It's there in your eyes
Oh why, oh my
Oh no, no, no
You don't smile the same
Oh no, no, no
Like you been hidin' pain
I love you so much, I could taste it
But girl, your eyes tell me it's wasted
I got the feelin'
I'm hearin' goodbye
Don't have to say it
It's there in your eyes
Oh why, oh my
Oh no, oh no
Oh no, baby
I got the feelin'
I'm hearin' goodbye
I got the feelin'

L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time
And the feeling is 'lay back'
Palm trees grow, and rents are low
But you know I keep thinkin' about
Making my way back
Well I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores
L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home
New York's home, but it ain't mine no more
"I am," I said
To no one there
An no one heard at all
Not even the chair
"I am," I cried
"I am," said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still
Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of bein' a king
And then became one
Well except for the names and a few other changes
If you talk about me, the story's the same one
But I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried, but it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I never cared for the sound of being alone
"I am," I said
To no one there
An no one heard at all
Not even the chair
"I am," I cried
"I am," said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still

Stay with me, here with me
I want you near with me
I'm a man
Tat’s hooked on the memory of you
And I, Who knows why
I only know that I’m sure I am
Hooked on the memory of you
Time, time standing still
I know it's you
I always will
Need you to
Lay with me, lie with me
Spend your desire with me
If you can
I’m hooked on the memory of you
And I, Who knows why
I guess i wanted for you to be
Hooked on the memory of me
And time, time standing still
I know it's you
I always will
Want you to
Be here with me
I want you to stay right here
With me
I need you to
Love with me, laugh with me
Forgive the past with me
I know you can
I’m hooked on the memory of you
And I, Who knows why
I guess i wanted for you to be
Hooked on the memory of me
Oh you know that it’s true
Not a thing I can do

If you're thinkin’ that my life
Is a hoot and a holler
From the start of the day
To the dark of the night
THAT it’s ringing like a bell
That you only wanna follow
And trust me when I say
I’m just trying to get it right
Still I think about myself
As a lucky old dreamer
If you’re asking me to tell
Is it worth what I paid?
You’re gonna hear me say
Hell yeah it is
And I say it loud
I loved it all
And I'm not too proud
I freed my soul
Just let it fly
Hell yeah this crazy life around me
It confuses and confounds me
But its all the life I've got
Until I die
Hell yeah it is
If you’re asking for my time
Isn’t much left to give you
Been around a good long while
So I gotta say it fast
Time is all we'll ever need
But its gotta have a meaning
Be careful how it’s spent
Because it isn’t gonna last
I hear you wonderin' out loud
Are you ever gonna make it
Will you ever work it out?
Will you ever take a chance?
Just believe you can
Hell yeah you will
Gonna be okay
You might get lost
But then you’ll find a way
Don’t go alone
Can’t be afraid
Hell yeah this life is here
And it’s made for livin'
And loves a gift that’s made for GIVING
Give it all away and have it still
And hell yeah you will
I've been livin' in a bowl
With a lot of people starin'
With my feet on shaky ground
And my head up in the sky
But it’s where I wanna be
It’s a life that’s made for carin'
Got a song to pass the day
And a girl to share the night
So if they ask you when I'm gone
Was it everything he wanted?
When he had to travel on
Did he know he'd be missed?
You can tell them this
Hell yeah he did
He saw it all
He walked the line
Never had to crawl
He cried a bit
But not for long
Hell yeah he found the life that he was after
Filled it up with love and laughter
Finally got it right and made it fit
Hell yeah he did
Hell yeah he did

And so this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young
A very Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

Let's hope it's a good one

I know you worry everytime I go away
You wonder will these sweet sweet feelings shine or fade
But that's a question you don't have to ask
What heaven makes, it always makes to last
Gold don't rust, Love don't lie
I'll be true, till the day that I die
Trust in me, you will find
Baby you're the gold in this heart of mine
And that gold will shine for a long long time
I wish that I could give you what you need from me
But what good is a promise or a guarantee
Love is still a simple act of faith
And a faithful is heart is always worth the weight
Gold don't rust, Love don't lie
I'll be true, till the day that I die
Trust in me, you will find
Baby you're the gold in this heart of mine
And that gold will shine for a long long time
Love is still a simple act of faith
And a faithful is heart is always worth the weight
Gold don't rust, Love don't lie
I'll be true, till the day that I die
Trust in me, you will find
Baby you're the gold in this heart of mine
And that gold will shine for a long long time
Baby you're the gold in this heart of mine

Wearin' my high boots,
Got all my worldlies here in a sack
Looking for something,
Knowing that it ain't here where I'm at
Ain't looking back
I'm comin',
Ride by thumbin',
Get by bummin'
I'm on my way
Friend, have you seen glory road
Say, friend, I got a heavy load,
And I know glory road's waiting for me
Caught me a pick-up
Down from Seattle through to L.A.
Seems like those folks
Go chasin' a new star every day
Ain't gonna stay
In Nevada, through Wyomin',
Colorado I'm on my way
Friend, have you seen glory road
Say, friend, I got a heavy load,
And I know glory road's waiting for me
Met so many others
Wanted to know which way to go
Louisiana, New York City
They wanted the answer
They'd ask of me.
Friend, have you seen glory road?
Say, friend, I got a heavy load
And I know glory road's waiting for me
Rest my load,

Gitchy Goomy, gitchy gaddy, sit you laddie down on your daddy's knee,
And ain't it a nice place to be?
Goggin noggin, papa's rockin' like a mockin' bird in a windy tree,
and that ain't no place for me.
Been there one time, been there two times,
been there three times more than I care to be,
But we're gonna make it through, Gitchy Goomy.
Life is good, life is fine, life is warm,
life is kind, can you see it?
Love is great, love is right,
keeps you warm late at night when you need it.
Baby boy, daddy's joy, life's a toy,
but you don't wanna break it.
Like a sweet symphony, all you need is the key, you can play it.
Gitchy Goomy, gitchy gaddy, sit you laddie down I wanna have my say,
Now don't be runnin' away.
Goggin Noggin, papa's talkin'
don't go walkin' off like you mean to play,
Well, you can have it your way.
Been there one time, been there two times,
been there three times more than I care to say,
But you're gonna be O.K. Gitchy Goomy.
Life is good, life is fine, life is warm,
life is kind, can you see it?
Love is great, love is right,
keeps you warm late at night when you need it.
Baby boy, daddy's joy, life's a toy,

Like a sweet symphony, all you need is the key, you can play it.

Seen it one time, seen it two times,
Seen it three times, Lord 'n' it's plain to see.
Ah, you gonna make it through Gitchy Goomy.
You 'n' me gonna make it through Gitchy Goomy.

Love you so much can't count all the ways
I'd die for you girl and all they can say is
"He's not your kind"
They never get tired of puttin' me down and
I never know when I come around
What I'm gonna find
Don't let them make up your mind
Don't you know
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon, you'll need a man
I've been misunderstood for all of my life
But what they're sayin', girl, just cuts like a knife
"The boy's no good"
Well, I finally found what I've been lookin' for
But if they get a chance they'll end it for sure
Sure they would
Baby I've done all I couldit's up to you
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon

Oh I try to right by you
Yeah, yeah, yeah where did it get me?
And I tried to do everything I knew
Don’t seem fair cos look where you left me
You’ve got me waiting out in the back
Under a stack
Stuck in a bin
You been keeping me in
High on a shelf all by myself
Feeling like I’m doing my time
Under a sign
That reads forgotten
Forgotten
Now I’m sending out an S.O.S
Before I drown somebody save me
And I tried you know that I did my best
You took me down to where I been lately
You’ve got me waiting out in the back
Under a stack
Stuck in a bin
You been keeping me in
High on a shelf all by myself
Feeling like I’m doing my time
Under that sign
That reads forgotten
Forgotten
Been thinking bout you everyday
Baby not just now and then
There’s got to be a better way
Don’t wanna be f, o, r, go, t, t, e, n no
I’m feeling like I’ve been used
You were gone before we got started
And I know it ain’t gonna make the news
You led me on then you departed
You’ve left me waiting out in the back
Under a stack
Stuck in a bin
That you been keeping me in
High on a shelf all by myself
Feeling like I’m doing my time
Under that sign
That reads forgotten
Forgotten
Forgotten
Forgotten
Forgotten

Ev'rybody needs someone that they're gonna believe in.Ev'rybody's the same around the world.If you wanna find someone, then you only have to show it.Nothin's sadder than love that's left unheard.
Me, how I tried to deny that it pointed to you.Too many roads up ahead lookin' shiny and new.Ev'rybody needs someone, but it's gotta mean something.Giving up a piece of you's the hardest part.If you wanna have someone, then you really got to know it.Doesn't take very much to break a heart.May I get lost in your eyes for a lifetime or two?Something about you and I leads me right to the truth.
Some people always got something they got left to say.Some need to keep it inside; they just wanna hide away.
And I'm glad I have you there, 'cause I would've been nowhere.Bein' here all alone's a lonely sound.

Have we come this far
To have gone astray
I’ve been lost before
But not lost this way
You and me, thought we'd be, evermore
Do I know you
Did I ever
Thought I did
Now I know better
Saw the signs but not the danger
How'd you get to be a stranger at my door
Promises got left behind and reason fell between the lines
The words unsaid, we should have spoken
Both mislead and left us broken evermore
Have we said, it all
Is there more, to say
Thought we paid our dues
Is there more to pay
What's to be, of you and me, evermore
Was it love or just illusion
All I see is our confusion
Came upon us, unsuspecting
Here we are reflecting on the last of it
If you think, of me, in a year, or two
Find that photograph, showin' me with you
What you see, is what should be, evermore
Why, tell me why, don't know why, oh why
Where's the truth we took for granted
Walking out 's not how we planned it
Played it loose but stayed together
Thought we had the truth, but never knew the score
If it’s done for now, and it’s time to go
There’s one thing unsaid, thought you’d want to know
Love you still, guess I will, evermore

Got a rock and roll ditty
From the heart of the city
To a country lane far away
Drums are beatin'
And the bass repeatin'
And it rocks you to sleep just the same
Sleep, safe and warm
Dream cares be gone
You know that it won't take long
We'll be singin' Elijah's song
Singin' Elijah's song
Ya' got a rock and roll daddy
And you make him so glad
He's got a smile
A mile across his face
Movie star mom
Gonna keep you safe from harm
And she'll do it with style and grace
Sleep, safe and warm
Dream cares be gone
You know that it won't be long
We'll be singing Elijah's song
Singin' Elijah's song
Little bitty child when you laugh
I smile
It's a feelin' I won't ever forget
Far from now
When you're wanderin' 'round
There's a song that I left in your head
Dream, that's what you do
Dream, 'cause dreams come true
Someday when you're big and strong
You'll remember Elijah's song
Remember Elijah's song
Remember Elijah's song

Dry your eyes and take your song out, it's a newborn afternoon.
And if you can't recall the singer you can still recall the tune.
Dry your eyes and play it slowly like you're marching off to war;
sing it like you know he'd want it, like we sang it once before.
And from the center of the circle to the midst of the waiting crowd,
if it ever be forgotten sing it long and sing it loud and come dry your eyes.
And he taught us more about giving than we ever cared to know,but we came to find the secret and we never let it go.
And it was more than being holy and it was less than being free,
and if you can't recall the reason can you hear the people sing.
Right through the lightning and the thunder to the dark side of the moon,
to that distant falling angel that descended much too soon
and come dry your eyes.

Jesus Christ, Fanny Brice,
Wolfie Mozart and Humphrey Bogart and
Genghis Khan and
On to H. G. Wells.
Ho Chi Minh, Gunga Din
Henry Luce and John Wilkes Booth
And Alexanders
King and Graham Bell.
Rama Krishna, Mama Whistler,
Patrice Lumumba and Russ Colombo,
Karl and Chico Marx,
Albert Camus.
E. A. Poe, Henri Rousseau,
Sholom Aleichem and Caryl Chessman,
Alan Freed and
Buster Keaton too
And each one there
Has one thing shared:
They have sweated beneath the same sun,
Looked up in wonder at the same moon,
And wept when it was all done
For bein' done too soon,
For bein' done too soon.

I guess you think
That if you snap your fingers
I'll forget
I'm supposed to jump for joy
'Cause you say you regret
Being so bad
Don't go away mad
Now just go away
Remember how you told me
You had some new interest
And with out a fuss
You dropped me
As if I was just yesterday's fad
Don't go away mad
Now just go away
You talked to me
One day feel like coal
You once used me
While you played the field
I played the fool
So forgive me if I doubt you
When you say you need me
I'll get over thinkin' bout you
And of everything we might have had
Don't go away mad
Now please go away

Home-town girl in the city of lights
sleeps all day, hey, and she plays all night.
Takin' her turn on the merry-go-round;
hearin' her laugh, but it's a lonely sound.
Bring her on up;
take her on down.
Hearin' you laugh, babe,
it's a lonely sound.
Leavin' your home
on a midnight plane;
hearin' you call, babe,
in the sound of the rain.
Diamond girls.
Is there anybody there at the end of the night?
Is it worth what you pay with your soul?
When you look in the mirror, do you see it right?
Diamond girls aren't made to grow old.
Small-town child in the city of dreams.
What it was, baby, ain't what it seems.
Staking her life on travelin' bands;
spendin' that soul, yeah, on the one-night stands.
Bring her on up;
take her on down.
Hearin' you laugh, babe,
it's a lonely sound.
Leavin' your home
on a midnight plane;
hearin' you call, babe,
in the sound of the rain.
Diamond girls.
Is there anybody there at the end of the night?
Is it worth what you pay with your soul?
When you look in the mirror, do you see it right?
Diamond girls aren't made to grow old.
Hard times.
Makin' your way, baby,
any way you can.
But I hear you callin'
and I know you need me.
Diamond girls.
Is there anybody there at the end of the night?
Is it worth what you pay with your soul?
When you look in the mirror, do you see it right?
Diamond girls aren't made to grow old.

It was the third of June
On that summer's day
When I became a man
At the hands of a girl
Almost twice my age
And she came to me
Just like a morning sun
And it wasn't so much
Her words as such
As the way they were sung
It was the way they were sung
Desiree
Oh, Desiree
There I was found
By the sweet passion sound
Of your loving song
Time was right, the night was long
Remember, Desiree
Oh, Desiree
Somehow I knew
I could only have you
'Til the morning light
If only for that single night
Sweet Desiree, you make it right
Then came the fourth of June
On that sleepless night
Well I tossed and I turned
While the thought of her burned
Up and down my mind
For she was there and gone
Without one regret
But she continues on
Like the words of a song
I could not forget
I could not forget
Desiree
Oh, Desiree
There I was found
By the sweet passion sound
Of your loving song
Time was right, the night was long
Remember, Desiree
Oh, Desiree
And though somehow I knew
I could only have you
'Til the morning light
The night was long, the time was right

It was the third of JuneOn that younger dayWell I became a manAt the hands of a girlAlmost twice my ageAnd she came to meJust like a morning sunAnd it wasn't so muchHer words as suchAs the way they were sungIt was the way they were sung
DesireeOh, DesireeThere I was foundBy the sweet passion soundOf you loving songTime was right, the night was longRemember, DesireeOh DesireeSomehow I knewI could only have you'Til the morning lightIf only for that single nightSweet Desiree, you made it right.
Then came the fourth of JuneOn that sleepless nightWell I tossed and I turnedWhile the thought of her burnedUp and down my mindFor she was there and goneWithout one regretBut she continues onLike the words of a songI could not forgetI could not forget

Lately, I can't sleep at night
I can't turn off my mind
You've got me goin' in circles
When you're not around me
I just keep thinking
What my life would be without you
Isn't it crazy
Like I'm on a string

And when you feel like some lovin'
You turn on my music
You give me hope and then you're gone
I feel so helpless
Isn't it crazy
Totally crazy
You touch my hand
And make my temperature rise
You get me goin'
With that look in your eyes
Holding on,
I'm holding on
Your love keeps killing me I go willingly

And make my temperature rise
You get me goin'
With that look in your eyes
Holding on,
I'm holding on
Your love is killing me
I go willingly crazy
Crazy over you

Can make you act like a baby

Why do I go on
It's out of control now

Baby loves me

Cherry, babe, you really get to me
She got the way to move me, Cherry
She got the way to groove me
She got the way to move me

If you love me,
say you love me.
These are words we find hard to share.
Would you trust me?
Could I trust you?
Will you always want me there?
Or is this just some game called 'nothin' goes right'?
Is this just me to blame
for making these endless nights?
And who do we think we are,
some kind of cosmic shooting stars?
No we're not.
haven't got all that time.
Got to find a common ground,
not the other way around
for you and I.
We need to walk on common ground.
We need to make a lovin' sound.
While we got time,
we got to try.
Were you loving?
Was I caring?
These are feelings too hard to measure.
I'll be loving.
You be caring.
Will it always feel this way?
Or will we find the way to make it alright?
Will that sun come someday
to wake up this endless night?
And who do we think we are,
some kind of cosmic shooting stars?
No, we're not.
Haven't got all that time.
Looking for a common ground,
not the other way around
for you and I.
Got to find a common ground.
Need to make a lovin' sound
while we got time,
you and I.
And we still have the time to make it work right,
make that sun come to shine
and wake up this endless night.
And who do we think we are,
some kind of cosmic shooting stars?
No we're not.
Haven't got all that time.
Got to find a common ground,
not the other way around,
you and I.
Got to walk on common ground.
Got to make some lovin' sounds.
We got time to look for some common ground,
find a lovin' sound,
you and I.
Lookin' for a common ground,
not the other way around
for you and I.
Got to walk on common ground,

Far,
We've been traveling far
Without a home
But not without a star
Free,
Only want to be free
We huddle close
Hang on to a dream
On the boats and on the planes
They're coming to America
Never looking back again,
They're coming to America
Home
Don't it seem so far away
Oh, we're traveling light today
In the eye of the storm
In the eye of the storm
Home
To a new and a shiny place
Make our bed and we'll say our grace
Freedom's light burning warm
Freedom's light burning warm
Everywhere around the world
They're coming to America
Ev'ry time that flag's unfurled
They're coming to America
Got a dream to take them there
They're coming to America
Got a dream they've come to share
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
Today, Today,
Today, Today, Today
My country 'tis of thee (today)
Sweet land of liberty (today)
Of thee I sing (today)
Of thee I sing
Today, Today, Today

Operator, please
Just get her on the phone
She's got to know
I'm comin' home
For I've been gone
For a long, long time
But it really doesn't matter
When she's there on the line
Been on the road for a hundred days
And there's nothin' gonna stop me
'Cause I'm there on my way
And I'm comin' home, comin' home
I don't sleep good when I sleep alone
Goin' back, I'm knowin' that
You can't make love on the telephone
And I'm comin' home
Lost in time, almost lost my mind
But it really didn't matter
'Cause I knew all the time
I was headed back to my very own bed
And there was never a look behind
And I only looked ahead
'Cause I'm comin' home,
I'm comin' home
I don't sleep good when I sleep alone
Goin' back, I'm knowin' that
You can't make love on the telephone
And I'm comin' home
I'll make it through all right
Just knowin' that you're there
Baby, I concede, you're all I need
It's more than I can bare
I'm comin' home, comin' home
I don't sleep good when I sleep alone
I'm headin' back, I'm knowin' that
You can't make love on the telephone
And I'm comin' home,
Comin' home
I don't sleep good when I sleep alone
I'm headin' back, I'm knowin' that
You can't make love on the telephone

When a guy's been made a fool of
By a gal who only wants to play
He goes to a lonely place where lovers
Who are broken hearted stay
They call it clown town, frown town
No joy around town and you see
That's just where I've been stayin'
Since you made a clown out of me
Baby, won't you come and get me?
I can't take it here another day
It's not very hard to find
It's no more than a broken heart away
They call it clown town, frown town
No joy around town and you see
That's just where I'll be stayin'
Baby, till you set me free
They call it clown town, frown town
No joy around town and you see
That's just where I'll be stayin'
Baby, till you set me free
(Till you set me free)
They call it clown town, frown town
No joy around town and you see
That's just where I'll be stayin'
Baby, till you set me free
(Till you set me free)
They call it clown town, frown town
Come on and get me, baby
You know, how much I need you

Feel it, can you feel it?
Somethings coming, ain't it wonderful
Like a miracle, inspiration, jubilation, celebration
coming round
This is Christmas said the wise-man
Join me seeker, walk beside me
I will take you to the blind man
He will show you what was lost on Christmas day
He took me through a Christmas dream
Where everything was strange and dear
There's nothing was the way it seemed
Without explaining what it means
As men and women, sons and daughters
Wait like children for their gifts on Christmas day
Christmas dream
I saw me there
Christmas dream
I called my name in my sleep
I looked away, was only thinking of myself
Feel it, can you feel it?
If you want to it can heal you
Like a miracle, inspiration, jubilation celebration
going down
This is Christmas said the wise-man
To the sailor lost on dry land
Let me take you to the harbour
Stand beside you and lead you farther on your way
They headed for a Christmas dream
The one that changed it all for me
The one that somehow made me see
That I'd become what I should be
When men and women, sons and daughters
Become children at the break of Christmas day
Christmas dream it comes to me
Christmas dream, when I'm alone
When I'm lost, it brings me home
That Christmas dream awake in me
Christmas dream
Was something that it spoke to me
It told what Christmas had to be
And when I found it I was free
Said men and women,sons and daughters
Are all forgiven when they wake on Christmas day
Christmas dream at Christmas time
Christmas dream I found my way
Came to me and now I pray
That Christmas lives forever
Christmas dream on Christmas day
Christmas dream the whole world gives
I can see because we live
It speaks to me in every way
Christmas dream it fills my mind
It makes me see I came to find
That we can be together

Hot August night
And the leaves hanging down
And the grass on the ground smelling sweet
Move up the road
To the outside of town
And the sound of that good gospel beat
Sits a ragged tent
Where there ain't no trees
And that gospel group
Telling you and me
It's Love
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
Grab the old ladies
Everyone goes
Everyone knows
Brother Love's show
Room gets suddenly still
And when you'd almost bet
You could hear yourself sweat, he walks in
Eyes black as coal
And when he lifts his face
Every ear in the place is on him
Starting soft and slow
Like a small earthquake
And when he lets go
Half the valley shakes
It's Love, Love
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
Grab the old ladies
Everyone goes
Everyone knows
Brother Love's show
Sermon
Take my hand in yours
Walk with me this day
In my heart, I know
I will never stray
Halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle
It's Love, Love
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
Grab the old ladies
Everyone goes
Everyone knows
Brother Love's show

If I close my eyes
I can almost hear my mother
Sayin', "Neil, go find your brother,
Daddy's home and it's time for supper, Hurry on"
And I see two boys,
Racin' up two flights of staircase,
Squirmin' into Papa's embrace
And his whiskers warm on their face
Where's it gone... Oh, where's it gone
Two floors above the butcher,
First door on the right,
Life filled to the brim, As I stood by my window
And I looked out on those... Brooklyn roads
I can still recall,
The smells of cookin' in the hallways
Rubbers drying in the doorways
And report cards I was always afraid to show
Mama'd come to school
And as I'd sit there softly cryin'
Teacher'd say, "He's just not tryin
He's got a good head if he'd apply it
But you know yourself, It's always somewhere else"
I'd built me a castle
With dragons and kings
And I'd ride off with them as I stood by my window and looked out on those...Brooklyn roads
Thought of goin' back
But all I'd see are strangers faces
And all the scars that love erases
And as my mind walks through those places,I'm wonderin'
What's become of them
Does some other young boy
Come home to my room
Does he dream what I did as he stands by my window
And looks out on those... Brooklyn roads

Some they come for the dance
And some they come for the fight
Either way take your chance
In Brooklyn on a Saturday night
Yeah, that's how they happened to meet
When they met, it was right
Fell right in with the beat
In Brooklyn on a Saturday night
He had nothing much planned
She was there with a man
But when he saw her,
He couldn't ignore her
The whole thing just got out of hand
On Saturday night
It happened out in
Brooklyn on a Saturday night
Saturday night, yeah
Talkin' 'bout
Brooklyn on a Saturday night
Saturday night, yeah
Oh, she meant to be good
And oh, he tried to do right
But things got misunderstood
In Brooklyn on a Saturday night
He ended up having some words
With that punk
Who brought her there first
She came between them,
A sharp blade was seen
And she ended face down in the dirt
On Saturday night
It happened out
In Brooklyn on a Saturday night
Saturday night, yeah
Talkin' bout
Brooklyn on a Saturday night
Saturday night, yeah
Yeah, some they come for the dance
And some they come for the fight
Either way take your chance
In Brooklyn on a Saturday night
Oh No
Saturday night
Happened out in
Brooklyn on a Saturday night
Saturday night
Talkin' bout
Brooklyn on a Saturday night
Saturday night, yeah

So long, big city; it's time to say goodbye.I'm longing for those country roads;I need to see the sky.Think I'll take a swing down south, visit Tennessee.See if that girl Annie still remembers me.
Gonna take that blue highway and leave this sorry town.Stayed too long, but now I'm gone, and I know where I'm bound.I don't wanna take the interstate; it represents all the things I hate.I'm rollin' down that blue highway.
So long, confusion; it's time to slow things down.Say goodbye to my old friends, ease on out of town.I made me some money here but paid for ev'ry day.And ev'ry mile just makes me smile, 'cause I made my getaway.
Gonna take that blue highway and leave this sorry town.I've stayed too long, but now I'm gone, and I know where I'm bound.I've had it up to here with worry.From now on, I'm in no hurry, rollin' down that blue highway.

Hey, a woman made my habit
Lord I need to have
Feel just like a lion
A woman's like a little calf
And everything I got
Is everything that I want
And I ain't got no trouble gettin' it on, babe
Hey, I ain't got not trouble gettin' it on
A flower's made for pickin'
One that fits me is better off
Than the one that fades away
And everything I got
Is everything that I want
And I ain't got no trouble gettin' it on, babe
Hey, I ain't got no trouble gettin' it on
Mary Jean from New Orleans
She said she married mainly for love
But before she could say
She wasn't that kind of girl
Uh, she was!
Girl you better look out
'Cause love is a little like Chinese food
You're hungry after half an hour
And everything I got
Is everything I want
I ain't got no trouble gettin' it on, baby
Hey, I ain't got no trouble gettin' it on

I have always been a wand'rer
Over land and sea
Yet a moonbeam on the water
Casts a spell o'er me
A vision fair I see
Again I seem to be
Back home again in Indiana
And it seems that I can see
The gleaming candlelight still shining bright
Thro' the sycamores for me
The new mown hay sends all its fragrance
From fields I used to roam
When I dream
About the moonlight on the Wabash
Then I long for my Indiana home
Fancy paints on mem'ry's canvas
Scenes that we hold dear
We recall them in days after
Clearly they appear
And often times I see
A scene that's dear to me
Back home again in Indiana
And it seems that I can see
The gleaming candlelight still shining bright
Thro' the sycamores for me
The new mown hay sends all its fragrance
From fields I used to roam
When I dream
About the moonlight on the Wabash

Hey, if you ever want to get away a while
I got something you want to know
Sometime when your world is on fire
You got to pack your bags and then go
Hey, don't you know you don't belong here
Why don't you come along with me
I'm gonna take you right out of the picture
Put you right into a brand new scene
Open road ahead is all we need
Something says to go and we just leave
And it feels right
Drive, baby, let's drive
We're gonna drive to the edge of the night
Two of us gone
Leavin' the world and the worry behind
Makin' up time
Baby, let's drive
Hey, yeah
So if you really want to get away quick
You need to get with a brand new beat
People around you just a little to slick
I got room here in my front seat
Hey, little girl just sittin' on a high fence
Ain't there a place you'd much rather be
Waitin' around here ain't makin' no sense
I got a way of gettin' us free
Open road ahead is all we want
Somethin' says to go and then we're gone
And it feels right
Drive, baby, let's drive
We're gonna drive to the edge of the night
Two of us gone
Leavin' the world and the worry behind
Makin' up time
Baby, let's drive, see'mon now
So if you really want to chase the moon
I got a way to makin' it real
Turn up the sound on a get away tune
Can't wait to get behind the wheel
Yeah, if you really want to get out baby
Take you to where you want to be
Seem just a little bit lost, so baby
Why don't you come along and see
Open road is all we'll ever need
Never know where open roads can lead
And it feels right
Drive, baby, let's drive
We're gonna drive to the edge of the night
Two of us gone
Leavin' the world and the worry behind
Makin' up time
We gonna drive
Come on and drive
Everybody, let's drive
Start up and get free
Drive, see'mon and drive

Sorry
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like sorry like sorry
Forgive me
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like forgive me forgive me
But you can say baby
Baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
At the right time you'd be mine
I love you
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily

Listen easy
You can hear God calling
Walking barefoot by a stream
Come unto me
Your hair softly falling
On my face as in a dream
And the time will be our time
And the grass won't pay no mind
Sayin nothing
Lying where the sun is
Baking down upon our sighs
My lips touch you
With their soft wet kisses
Your hands gentle in reply
And the time will be our time
And the grass won't pay no mind
Child, touch my soul with your cries
And the music will know what we found
I hear a hundred goodbyes
But today I hear only one sound
The moment we're living is now
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Young bird flying
And a soft wind blowing
Cools the sweat inside my palms
Close my eyes and see the flowers growing
As you lay sleeping in my arms
And the time will be our time

In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
Will throw myself off
In an effort to
Make it clear to whoever
Wants to know what it's like
When you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Were people saying, My God, that's tough
She stood him up
No point in us remaining
We may as well go home
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about, God in His mercy
Oh, if he really does exist
Why did he desert me
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally
It seems to me that there are more hearts
Broken in the world that can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do
What do we do
[Instrumental Interlude]
Alone again, naturally
Looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start
With a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever [Spoken]
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally

Song maker you heartbreaker
You faker
You better stop it while you can
You know you're just a worthless daydreamer
But hey dreamer
It's time to act like a man
Song writing
It's just a little bit frightening
Like playing with lightning
I'm not complaining now you understand
You get to sing and dance all day
Like children playing
But it's time to act like a man
Being a man means responsible
You hear it wherever you go
Nothing is ever impossible
Something inside me tells me so
And I know what I know
So hey lover
Better discover
Some other
Way to turn your head around again
And baby don't you wait now
It's getting late now
It's time to act like a man
Being a man means responsible
You hear it wherever you go
Nothing is ever impossible
Something inside me tells me so
And I know what I know
Song maker
You heartbreaker
You faker
You better stop it while you can
You know you're just a worthless
Daydreamer
But hey dreamer
It's time to act like a man

I've been so many places
In my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and
I'm singing this song for you
I know your image of me
Is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly
But darlin' can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darlin' can't you please see through me
Cause we're alone now and
I'm singing this song for you
[Chorus]
You taught me precious secrets
Of the truth with holding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better
And if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody
Cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place
Where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life
You are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and
I was singing this song for you
[Chorus]
I love you in a place
Where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life
You are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and
I was singing this song for you
We were alone and

We've got to help a friend in need
And nothing is gonna stop us now
Though all the words in the world
Won't get him the girl
If fate don't allow
Good love's a hard thing to lose
It don't come everyday
We've got to find us a way
To save this friend of ours
It's time to begin our mission of love
Come on now
Dah n do, dah n do,
Dah n do, dah uh huh
Give me an 'L'
N do, dah n do,
Dah n do, dah oh yeah
Sing me an 'O' do do,

We're on a mission of love
And nothing gets in our way
We've got to save us a friend
From a furious fate
Before the end of the day
This is a moment of truth
And truth is what we're about
We got a friend in a hole
We got to help get him out
This is a glorious day
Out on a mission of love, oh yeah
Everybody wants someone to need
Includin' you and me
Anytime you deny it
You're only denyin' what's real
Everybody wants someone that cares
Someone to be theirs
And if you get hurt
Sometimes if never can heal
So just count me in
This mission of love
Oh yeah,
Dah n do, dah n do,
Dah n do, dah uh huh

When I'm feeling blue,
All I have to do
Is take a look at you
And then I'm not so blue
When you're close to me,
I can feel your heart beat
I can hear you breathing
In my ear
Wouldn't you agree
Baby you and me
Got a groovy kind of love
We got a groovy kind of love
Anytime you want to
You can turn me on to
Anything you want to
Anytime at all
When I taste your lips,
Ooh I start to shiver
Can't control the quivering inside
Wouldn't you agree
Baby you and me
We got a groovy kind of love
We got a groovy kind of love
I love you
I love you
I love you it's true
When I'm feeling blue,
All I have to do
Is take a look at you
And then I'm not so blue
When I'm in your arms,
Nothing seems to matter
If the whole world could shatter,
I don't care
Wouldn't you agree
Baby you and me
We got a groovy kind of love
