O paraíso não é tão longe
Pelo menos não para mim
E se o vento estiver de acordo
Você pode velejar afora
E encontrar tranqüilidade
A vela pode fazer milagres
Apenas espere e veja
Acredite em mim
Não é longe da Terra do Nunca
Não há razão para fingir
E se o vento estiver de acordo
Você pode encontrar a alegria
Da inocência de novo
A vela pode fazer milagres
Apenas espere e veja
Acredite em mim
Velejando
Me leva para longe...
Para onde eu sempre ouvi que poderia estar
Apenas um sonho e o vento me carrega
E logo e serei livre
Fantasia
É o melhor de mim
Quando estou velejando
Tudo dentro da fantasia
Cada palavra é uma sinfonia
Você não acredita em mim?
Não é longe voltar à sanidade
Pelo menos não para mim
E se o vento estiver de acordo
Você pode velejar afora
E encontrar serenidade
A vela pode fazer milagres
Apenas espere e veja
Acredite em mim
Hey Laura, Laura
Hey Laura, Laura
Every once in a while I'd see her smile
And she'd turn my day around
A girl with those eyes stared through the lies
See what your heart was saying
Think of Laura but laugh, don't cry
I know she'd want it that way
And when you think of Laura, well, laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way
A friend of a friend, a friend to the end
That's the kind of girl she was
Taken away so young
Taken away without a warning
Think of Laura but laugh, don't cry
I know she'd want it that way
And when you think of Laura, well, laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way
I know you and you're here
In every day we live
I know her and she's here
I could feel her when I sing
Hey Laura, where are you now?
Are you far away from here?
I don't think so, I think you're here
Taking our tears away
Think of Laura but laugh, don't cry
I know she'd want it that way
And when you think of Laura, well, laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way
Well, I know she'd want it that way
Hey Laura, hey Laura
I know, she wants it that way
Hey Laura, hey Laura
I know you want it that way
It is the night, my body's weak
I'm on the run, no time for sleep
I've got to ride, ride like the wind
To be free again
And I've got such a long way to go
(Such a long way to go)
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind
I was born the son of a lawless man
Always spoke my mind
With a gun in my hand
Lived nine lives, gunned down ten
Gonna ride like the wind
And I've got such a long way to go
(Such a long way to go)
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind, ride like the wind
Gonna ride the wind
Accused and tried and told to hang
I was nowhere in sight
When the church bells rang
Never was the kind to do as I was told
Gonna ride like the wind before I get old
It is the night, my body's weak
I'm on the run, no time for sleep
I've got to ride, ride like the wind
To be free again
And I've got such a long way to go
(Such a long way to go)
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind
And I've a long way to go
(Such a long way to go)
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind, ride like the wind
Gonna ride the wind
Ride, ride like the wind
Ride
Ooh wee
You got me spinnin'
Got me spinnin' 'round
Like I think I'm winning
Ooh wee
You got me spinnin'
You got me spinnin' 'round
Like I think I'm winning, whoa, whoa
It may take me a long long time
But I'm gonna find you out
It may take me a long long time
But I'm gonna find you out
Ooh wee
You got me spinnin'
You got me spinnin' 'round
Like I think I'm winning, whoa, whoa
Ooh hoo, baby
It's only the beginning
You got me spinnin' 'round
Like I think that I'm winning
It may take me a long long time
But I'm gonna find you out
It may take me a long long time
But I'm gonna find you out
It may take me a long long time
But I'm gonna find you out
It may take me a long long time
But I'm gonna find you out
It may take me a long long time
But I'm gonna find you out
It may take me a long long time
But I'm gonna find you out
It may take me a long long time
But I'm gonna find you out
It may take me a long long time
She’s like the wind through my tree
She rides the night next to me
She leads me through moonlight
Only to burn me with the sun
She’s taken my heart
But she doesn’t know what she’s done
I feel her breath on my face, her body close to me
Can’t look in her eyes, she’s out of my league
Just a fool to believe I have anything she needs
She’s like the wind
I look in the mirror and all I see
Is a young old man with only a dream
Am I just fooling myself that she'll stop the pain
Living without her I’d go insane
I feel her breath on my face, her body close to me
Can’t look in her eyes, she’s out of my league
Just a fool to believe I have anything she needs
She’s like the wind
I feel your breath on my face, your body close to me
Can’t look in your eyes, you’re out of my league
Just a fool to believe (just a fool to believe)
She's like the wind
Just a fool to believe (just a fool to believe)
She's like the wind
Just a fool to believe
It's not far down to paradise
at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right
you can sail away
and find tranquility
Oh the canvas can do miracles
just you wait and see
Believe me
It's not far to never never land
no reason to pretend
And if the wind is right
you can find the joy
of innocence again
Oh the canvas can do miracles
just you wait and see
Believe me
(chorus)
Sailing takes me away
to where I've always
heard it could be
Just a dream and the
wind to carry me
and soon I will be free
Fantasy, it gets the best of me
when I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me?
(chorus)
(instrumental)
Well it's not far back to sanity
at least it's not for me
And when the wind is right
you can sail away
and find serenity
Oh the canvas can do miracles
just you wait and see
Believe me
It was good for me
It was good for you
Now nothing either
of us can say or do
can change the way
you feel tonight
Sometimes love just
slips out of sight
Just one thing before you go
Just one thing that
you've got to know
No one will ever
touch me that way
The way that you did
that very first day
(chorus)
And I will never be the same
without you here
I'll live alone
hide myself behind my tears
No I will never be the same
without your love
I'll live alone
and try so hard to rise above
The years go by
there's always someone new
to try and help me
forget about you
Time and again it
does me no good
Love never feels the
way that it should
I loved you then
I guess I'll love you forever
And even though I know
we could never stay together
I think of how
it could have been
If we could just start
all over again
(chorus)
(instrumental)
It was good for me
It was good for you
Now nothing either
of us can say or do
can change the way
you feel today
Sometimes love
just slips away
Just one thing before you go
Just one thing that
you've got to know
No one will ever
touch me that way
The way that you did
that very first day
And I will never be the same
without you here
(never be the same)
I'll live alone
hide myself behind my tears
Hey I will never be the same
without your love
(never be the same)
I'll live alone
and try so hard to rise above
it's nature's way of telling you something's wrong
it's nature's way of telling you in a song
it's nature's way of receiving you
it's nature's way of retrieving you
it's nature's way of telling you something's wrong
it's nature's way of telling you through the breeze
it's nature's way of telling you dying trees
it's nature's way of receiving you
it's nature's way of retrieving you
it's nature's way of telling you something's wrong
it's nature's way
it's nature's way
it's nature's way of telling you something's wrong
it's nature's way of telling you in a song
[oh-oh-woah]
it's nature's way of receiving you
it's nature's way of retrieving you
You're the minstrel gigolo, don't you know?
You sing your songs of love so soft and low
And they want you more and more
All the young and lonely girls wait for you
There by the backstage door
And they're hopin' to be the one
And when you start to sing
You will be their everything
And when you start to sing
Every woman will open up her heart and let you in
You're the minstrel gigolo, don't you know?
You sing your songs of love so soft and low
And they want you more and more
All the young and lonely girls wait for you
There by the backstage door
And they're hopin' to be the one, be the one
And when you start to sing
You will be their everything
And when you start to sing
Every woman will open up her heart and let you in
And when you start to sing
You will be their everything
And when you start to sing
Every woman will open up her heart and let you in
And when you start to sing
You will be their everything
Yeah and when you start to sing
Every woman will open up her heart
Every woman will open up her heart
Every woman will open up her heart
And let you in, let you in
Time, I’ve been passing time, watching trains go by
All of my life lying on the sand watching seabirds fly
Wishing there would be someone waiting home for me
Something’s telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
All of my life looking back as lovers go walking past
All of my life wondering how they met and what makes it last
If I found the place would I recognise the face
Something’s telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it might be you
So many quiet walks to take
So many dreams to wake
And we’ve so much love to make
I think we’re gonna need some time
Maybe all we need is time
And it's telling me it might be you
All of my life
I’ve been saving love songs and lullabies
And there’s so much more no-one’s ever heard before
Something’s telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it must be you
And I’m feeling it’ll just be you all of my life
It’s you, it’s you
I’ve waiting for all of my life
Maybe it’s you, maybe it’s you
I’ve been waiting for all of my life
Maybe it’s you, maybe it’s you
I’ve been waiting for all of my life
Maybe it’s you, maybe it’s you
Lately I see clouds of sorrow in your eyes
Some deep sadness you can never quite disguise
Now I’m scared to ask what it's leading to
But I’m more afraid of not asking you
Is there something that you want to tell me
Is there something that I ought to know
Are we something that's still worth fighting for
Or should I simply let you go
Is there something I can do to reach you
Are we something more than history
I’ll find some way to convince you to stay
If you just tell me honestly
Is there something left of you and me
You've got secrets you've been keeping for too long
And I’m going crazy acting like there's nothing wrong
I can taste the truth every time we kiss
And I can't go on, at least not like this
Is there something that you want to tell me
Is there something that I ought to know
Are we something that's still worth fighting for
Or should I simply let you go
Is there something I can do to reach you
Are we something more than history
I’ll find some way to convince you to stay
If you just tell me honestly
Is there something left of you and me
I don't want to lose you
But what's the use of holding on
I don't really have you
If the feeling's gone
Is there something I can do to reach you
Are we something more than history
If there's no way to convince you to stay
And be the way we used to be
Then there's something that I wanna tell you
And I want you to believe it’s true
We had something that I’ll never forget
Even if I wanted to
Cos part of me will always be with you
Is there something I can do to reach you
Are we something more than history
If there's no way to convince you to stay
And be the way we used to be
Then there's something that I wanna tell you
And I want you to believe it’s true
We had something that I’ll never forget
Even if I wanted to
Don’t explain yourself, doesn’t matter reasons why
I’d just as soon you leave and never said, I’d just as soon you go
I could feel this sympathy and this pity in your eyes
But do you think you mean so much to me, do you think I’ll die
Well you go, and you play
But don’t ever think a minute that you took my love away
And I know I said a lot of things
But forever really means until the day it ends
That’s tonight, it’s gonna be tonight
I’ve been turned around and unsure of what to do
But like nature’s stream that wash away, we must let it through
You just can’t disguise there’s a hardness in your eyes
And we’ll never know how much we had until it’s far behind
Well you go, and you play
But don’t ever think a minute that you took my love away
Well I know I said a lot of things
But forever really means until the day it ends
That’s tonight, it’s gonna be tonight
Ooh, and I remember the days I spent with you
Never to lose
Never, never, no
You go, and you play
But don’t ever think a minute you took my love away
Well I know I said a lot of things
But forever really means until the day it ends
That’s tonight, it’s gonna be tonight
I know you said a lot of things
But forever really means until the day it ends
I know you said a lot of things
But forever really means until the day it ends
I know you said a lot of things
But forever really means until the day it ends
I know you said a lot of things
We think about the loves we lost
Will it come again?
We think of all the things we want
Will we ever win?
We listen to the voice of children
Will they find their way
Keep an open heart
The answer to it all's a wish away
Never let the tears you're cryin' blind you
To the dream that's waitin' to find you
'Cause there's one more chance
With every turn of the world
Is it gold or glory a taste of freedom
Or the strong warm touch of a body
There are all these things
With every turn of the world
Human kindness diamond of the heart
Tearing down the old walls
As long as we can share
Desire's not a sin, after all
When you find yourself alone
Missing tender magic touching you
Keep an open heart
Everything you dream can still be true
Never let the tears you're cryin' blind you
To the dream that's waitin' to find you
'Cause there's one more chance
With every turn of the world
Is it gold or glory a taste of freedom
Or the strong warm touch of a body
There are all these things
With every turn of the world
Never let the tears you're cryin' blind you
To the dream that's waitin' to find you
'Cause there's one more chance
With every turn of the world
We all want a world we can live in
We all want a world full of love
It's never too late, it's never too soon
Whatever you can do is enough
Never let the tears you're cryin' blind you
To the dream that's waitin' to find you
'Cause there's one more chance
With every turn of the world
Is it gold or glory a taste of freedom
Or the strong warm touch of a body
There are all these things
With every turn of the world
Never let the tears you're cryin' blind you
To the dream that's waitin' to find you
'Cause there's one more chance
With every turn of the world
Is it gold or glory a taste of freedom
Or the strong warm touch of a body
There are all these things
I have just closed my eyes again
Climbed aboard the dream weaver train
Driver, take away my worries of today
And leave tomorrow behind
Ooh, dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh, dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light
Fly me high through the starry skies
Or maybe to an astral plane
Cross the highways of fantasy
Help me to forget today’s pain
Ooh, dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh, dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light
Though the dawn may be coming soon
There still may be some time
Fly me away to the bright side of the moon
And meet me on the other side
Ooh, dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh, dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light
Dream weaver
Just another pure heart
A wide open mind
Driftin' like a cork on a sea of dreams
Playin' the school boy
Makin' believe
Dyin' to fill the shoes
The really big shoos for the TV screams
Standing on the sidelines when I was a kid
Talkin' bout the heroes and the war
Living on the frontlines wasn't quite the same
Something deep inside of me had changed
Dedicated upstart entourage
In the garage
Four crazy Juveniles
Burnin' up the midnight miles
The gigs
The juke box guinea pigs
Spending our prime
Hey man
Honkey-tonk women just one more time
Standing on the sidelines when I was a kid
Talkin' bout the heroes and the war
Living on the frontlines wasn't quite the same
Something deep inside of me had changed
Took a ride on the wild wind
And lost myself an old friend'
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all its sad goodbyes
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that I’ve been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Time can never mend
The careless whisper of a good friend
To the heart and mind ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that I’ve been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now who's gonna dance with me, please stay
And I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that I’ve been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
Was what I did so wrong
Once in your life you'll find her
Someone who turns your heart around
And next thing you know
You're closing down the town
Wake up and it’s still with you
Even though you left her way ‘cross town
You're wondering to yourself
Hey what've I found
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
The best that you can do is fall in love
Arthur he does as he pleases
All of his life his master's toys
And deep in his heart
He's just, he's just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
He's showing himself a really good time
He's laughing about the way
They want him to be
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
The best that you can do is fall in love
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
The best that you can do is fall in love
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
The best that you can do is fall in love
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
Look at what’s happened to me
I can't believe it myself
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world
It should've been somebody else
Believe it or not, I'm walking on air
I never thought I could feel so free
Flying away on a wing and a prayer, who could it be
Believe it or not, it's just me
Just like the light of new day
It hit me from out of the blue
Breaking me out of the spell I was in
Making all of my wishes come true
Believe it or not, I'm walking on air
I never thought I could feel so free
Flying away on a wing and a prayer, who could it be
Believe it or not, it's just me
This is too good to be true
Look at me falling for you
Believe it or not, believe it or not
Believe it or not, believe it or not
Believe it or not, I'm walking on air
I never thought I could feel so free
Flying away on a wing and a prayer, who could it be
Believe it or not, it's just me
Believe it or not, I'm walking on air
I never thought I could feel so free
Flying away on a wing and a prayer, who could it be
Any old time, any old time
Any old time will do
Everyone maybe once or twice
Finds a friend that's a friend for life
Somebody who believed in me like you
From those days of childhood fights
Through the nights when we'd ask advice
All of those times when nobody else would do
Any old time that you wanna hear from me
To find your way or kick around a memory
Like the old times, any old time will do
I can tell when the telephone rings
It's gonna be you just to talk about things
It's funny how it seems to happen
When you're on my mind
Every time good love goes bad
When I can't believe the luck I've had
All of those times I'm glad you're a friend of mine
Any old time that you need to call on me
To find your way or kick around those memories
Like the old times, any old time will do
Don't you ever forget
Any old time when the road is getting rough to climb
And you think maybe you've had enough
Just like the old times, any old time you're blue
All at once I went and got a hunch
Everything we ever felt was true
As we find the years behind us
And we live the years ahead
Let's remember laughter
And all the words we said
Make new friends and keep the old
One is silver and the other one's gold
Something Sally said that stuck in my head
And I never wanna let it go
Any time that you wanna hear from me
To find your way or kick around a memory
Like the old times, any old time will do
Any old time, any time that you need to call on me
To find your way or kick around those memories
Like the old times, any old time will do
Ooh, don't you ever forget
Any time when the road is getting rough to climb
And you think maybe you've had enough
Just like the old times, any old time will do
Any old time
I'm lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you til it hurts
I know you hurt too, but what else can we do
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile in my heart
For times when my life seems so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know
I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong
I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from these long lonely nights
I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too
Does the feeling seem oh so right
And what would you say if I called on you now
And said that I can't hold on
There's no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone
I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong
Oh, what are you thinking of
What are you thinking of
What are you thinking of
What are you thinking of
I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late, I know I was so wrong
I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late, I know I was so wrong
I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you
It's a calm wind blowing on my skin
And I've been dreaming again
Now that we're all here
We can share these notes and all this madness
We can talk of innocence
And of all the things we believe in
Is it an alibi
Is it the reason why
Is it the way we really feel inside
Set it free
The magic of those nights brings me closer to that light
That helps me see the path ahead of me
I can feel that something
A hint of mystery
A trace of dare
To live the truth I hide somewhere
Daybreak
In a place I've known before
Will I find me behind that final door
I can hear the footsteps of the past
I can feel the thunder and it's coming fast
I'm gonna spend some time with the moon
Pour myself a glass of midnight
Keep myself in tune
Is it an alibi
Is it the tears I cry
Is it the way I see it through your eyes
The magic of those nights brings me closer to that light
That helps me see the path ahead of me
I can feel that something
A hint of mystery
A trace of dare
I can hear your voice and I have no choice
Cos the pain’s too deep inside
And the hurt of love that was lost has been cured
With the love of another heart
And friends try and say that we’ll all get better
They say that they know how you feel
But your heart isn’t sure cos it knows what it heard
All the things that it read in a letter
Ooh, and all the words of wisdom
Never seem to ease the pain
And all the words of wisdom sound the same
They all sound the same
They all sound the same
All the lies of kindness, all that’s sweet and free
But you pay the price with the joy that it brings
Cos you hear the sound of her name
The morning tries to save you
From the shadows of your heart
You dance and kiss as you reminisce
And it’s tearing you apart
Oh, and all the words of wisdom
They never seem to ease the pain
And all the words of wisdom sound the same
I can hear your voice and I have no choice
Cos the pain’s too deep inside
And the hurt of love that was lost has been cured
With the love of another heart
Then your friends try and say that we’ll all get better
They say that they know how you feel
But your heart isn’t sure cos it knows what it heard
All the things that it read in the letters
Oh, and all the words of wisdom
They never seem to ease the pain
All the words of wisdom sound the same
all the words of wisdom
They never seem to ease the pain
And all the words of wisdom sound the same
All the words of wisdom sound the same
They all sound the same
I never had anything happen so fast
Took one look and I shattered like glass
I guess I let it show cos your smile told me you know
That you're everything I ever wanted at once
There's no holding this heart when it knows what it wants
And I never wanted anything more than to know you
I was swept away
No-one in the world but you and I
Gotta find a way to make you feel the way that I do
I was swept away
Without a warning like night when the morning begins the day
I was swept away
And so it begins, this journey of love
The summer wind carries us to places all our own
The words of a look, the language of touch
The way that you want me means so much
And I never wanted anything more than to love you
I am swept away
No-one in the world but you and I
gotta find a way to make you feel the way that I do
I am swept away
Without a warning like night when the morning begins the day
I was swept away, away
Seeing my tomorrow's in your eyes
I was swept away
Ooh, I hope I wake up soon
Ooh, I’m a victim of that crazy moon
The very first time you said my name
I knew it would never sound the same
Something about me has changed forever
Can't you see that I’m swept away
No-one in the world but you and I
Gotta find a way to make you feel the way that I do
I am swept away
Without a warning, like night when the morning begins the day
I was swept away, away
Seeing my tomorrow's in your eyes
Gotta find a way to make you feel the way that I do
I was swept away
Without a warning, like night when the morning begins the day
I was swept away
We were swept away
Dreaming of you
Talking in my sleep, she ain't gonna hear it
So my secrets have to keep
A little while longer in my heart where they've been
For so long, I can't remember
Days turn into weeks, still she's not with me
Still my secrets have to keep
A little while longer in my heart where they've been
For so long, I can't remember
And I know that I'm just gonna be
Another page in love's history
Another page in your diary
In that old book of love
In that old book of love
Love can cut you deep, it's there to remind you
And the memories make you weak
They whisper to you from your heart where they've been
For so long, you can't remember
And I know that I'm just gonna be
Another page in love's history
Another page in your diary
In that old book of love
In that old book of love
Wake up, reach for her, she's not there
All I do is dream
Dream that she will come home soon
To me, to me
Come home soon
Come home to me
Talking in my sleep, she ain't gonna hear it
So my secrets have to keep
A little while longer in my heart where they've been
For so long, I can't remember
And I know that I'm just gonna be
Another page in love's history
Another page in your diary
In that old book of love
In that old book of love
And I know that I'm just gonna be
Another page in love's history
Another page in your diary
In that old book of love
In that old book of love

There's a place I know called Swing Street
Where you can really feel the heartbeat
After working hard til sundown
The city comes alive
High up, low down, down on Swing Street
Gypsy jazzmen tickling my feet
Jive and music, love and money
There's enough to get you high
Sidewalk preachers hustling bibles
Longing for one more revival
There's a truth in all these dreamers
If you read between the lines
Well, it's all right watching the world come together
A real life movie that goes on forever
Take your chances and pull on the lever
Down on Swing Street
Down on Swing Street
Morning comes, that alarm clock screaming
Coat and tie, and wheeling, dealing
I wish that I could be back on Swing Street
Watching life roll by
Everyone looks for romance
Living out of magazines
But there's still one place
Where you don't have to fake it
Down on Swing Street
Here’s a song for the hearts so lonely
The ones who feel that love won’t come
But then you find that one and only
I got something to say to you
You see the lovers walking down the street
You feel your life’s a little incomplete
And I know what you mean and I’m here to tell you
Wipe the tears from your eyes
You know I would not lie
Save your love for someday, girl
Someday will come soon
Save your love for someday, girl
Someday will come soon
You give your love away to someone new
Just so you can say that he belongs to you
You smile and you laugh and you duck me forever
I’m not so sure that its true
Save your love for someday, girl
Someday will come soon
Save your love for someday, girl
Someday will come soon
Ooh, don't give up on love
Someday will come soon
After you've found that dream you treasure
After the chill has left the air
All of the pieces will come together
The things that you can share
But only time can take you there
Save your love for someday, girl
Someday will come soon
Save your love for someday, girl
Someday will come soon
Save your love for someday, girl
Someday will come soon
Save your love for someday, girl
Someday will come soon
Save your love
Someday will come soon
Ooh, don't give up on love
Poor Shirley
She must hide her tears
For nobody wants to see them
Surely it will break her heart
Time passes as she waits for a friend
We'll take all the doubtful ones in the fight
And make them hold off till the spring
Take hold of their hallowed souls
And save them from pain, yea yea
All of the pain
Save ourselves from all of the pain
Dearly held are the friends
Left in the years and lost in the war
Dearly held are the loves
Save for the ones you lose on your own
We'll take all the doubtful ones in the fight
And make them hold off till the spring
Take hold of their hallowed souls
And save them from pain, yea yea
All of the pain
Save ourselves from all of the pain
Yes, we will save
Stars We'll light up the lonely nights, harbor lights
Making us believe in the love
So struck by the hope of the harmony
Leaving the sorrow gently
Poor Shirley
She must hide her tears
For nobody wants to see them
Surely she will win a heart
Time passes as she waits for the wind
We'll take all the doubtful ones in the fight
And make them hold off till the spring
Take hold of their hallowed souls
And save them from pain, yea yea
All of the pain
Save ourselves from all of the pain
Yes we will save ourselves from all of the pain
Yes we will save ourselves from all of the pain
Save ourselves from all of the pain
Yes we will save
Save ourselves from all of the pain
Yes we will save ourselves
From the pain and the sorrows
Yes we will save ourselves
From the pain and of the sorrows
Save ourselves
Save ourselves
Save ourselves from all of the pain
Save ourselves from all of the pain

It's a lonely ride on Noah's ark
Takin' a shot into the dark
Hopin' that someone will see the spark
Of the light in you
Noah's ark to the ship of fools
Didn't we break all the golden rules
Caught in the dance of the hours
Open your heart 'til everyone's in
It's never too late to believe and begin
Open your heart 'til everyone's in
You can wish on the light of a star 'til the end
Everyone's out on the open sea
We're all a part of the mystery
You know how lonely it can be
Surviving
You say you're gonna settle down
Just play guitar and walk around
Until you turn into the sound
Of laughter
Some do believe we came out of the sky
There's a brand new light in my life
Shines after the candle is out at night
It's gotten the best of me
It's got my heart and it won't set it free
I just can't tell you why
If I did, well, it might be a lie
It's a long world we're living in
I've got to have her from beginning to end
It's a long world we're living in
I just can't live without her
Does anybody know how it feels to want her this bad?
So bad you'd give your life away
There's gotta be somebody somewhere
Who needs someone like I need you
I just can't tell you why
If I did, well, it might be a lie
And it's a long world we're living in
I've got to have her from beginning to end
It's a long world we're living in
I just can't live without her
I just can't live without her
And I wait for the day to take her away in vain
And I realize, I'll always feel the same
There's a brand new light in my life
Shines after the candle is out at night
It's gotten the best of me
It's got my heart and it won't set it free, yeah
I just can't tell you why
If I did, well, it might be a lie
It's a long world we're living in
I've got to have her from beginning to end
It's a long world we're living in
I just can't live without her
I just can't live without her
Well, it's a long world we're living in
And I've got to have her from beginning to end
Well, it's a long world we're living in
I just can't live without her
I just can't live without her
No, I, I just can't live without her
Every once in a while I’d see your smile
As you turned my day around
Girl, with those eyes that stared through the lies
And see what your heart was saying
Think of Laura but laugh, don’t cry
I know she’d want it that way, yeah, yeah
When you think of Laura, well laugh, don’t cry
I know she’d want it that way
A friend of a friend, a friend til the end
That’s the kind of girl she was
Taken away so young
Taken away without a warning
Think of Laura but laugh, don’t cry
I know she’d want it that way, yeah, yeah
When you think of Laura, well laugh, don’t cry
I know she’d want it that way
I know you, and you’re here
And every day we mend
And know her and, well she’s here
I can feel her when I sing
Hay Laura, where are you now
Are you far away from here
I don’t think so, I think you’re here
Taking our tears away
Think of Laura but laugh, don’t cry
I know she’d want it that way, yeah, yeah
When you think of Laura, well laugh, don’t cry
I know she’d want it that way, yeah, yeah
Well I know she’d want it that way
Hay Laura, hey Laura
I know she’d want it that way
Hey Laura, hey Laura
I know you want it that way
I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance
And I have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes
I have been blind
The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek
There's nobody here, it's just you and me
It's where I want to be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never forget the way you look tonight
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away
And I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight
The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek
There's nobody here, it's just you and me
It's where I want to be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never forget the way you look tonight
I never will forget the way you look tonight
The lady in red, the lady in red
The lady in red, my lady in red
On the outback, a fool for the wind
Forgot to count my blessings again
The road looks lonely, I could use a friend
Looking for somebody to forgive my sins
Just one look in your eyes
Before I go so I'll know
Somebody loves me
All the wise men, all the years
Looking for the answer in a roomful of mirrors
Dark companion, the one called fear
Take the holy water, wash away the tears
With just one look in your eyes
Before I go so I'll know
Just one look in your eyes
Before I go so I'll know
Somebody loves me
One hope I will find
The harmony of heart and mind
So I will know
The way to give as I live
And I know there will be
A certain amount of uncertainty
But I must know
That you are there to hear my prayers
Just one look in your eyes
Before I go so I'll know
Just one look in your eyes
Before I go so I'll know
Just one look, just one look, just one look in your eyes
One look in your eyes
One look in your eyes
One look
One hope I will find
The harmony of heart and mind
So I will know
The way to give as I live
And I know there will be
A certain amount of uncertainty
But I must know
That you are there to hear my prayers
One wish there will be
In this place a time for me
When I will know

Keeping it straight is still the hardest part
Living the truth inside your heart of hearts
I sang a song that you believed
You came inside -- don't ever leave
You are the one who really matters
I had a dream that carried me
You are the one who set it free
You are the one
And around and around and around
The world has always turned
I wanted warmth -- your love burned
You gave it all -- I won't do less
Maybe you know but I'll confess
That you are the one who really matters
I had a dream that carried me
You are the one who set it free
You are the one
We see the things no one else can see
There is a way for you and me
We will be the ones
And in the music
There are words that say
Everything that you feel today
Every time I'm lost out in the night
I look for memories of light
You are the one I want to see
You are the one who reached for me
You are the one who really matters
We saw the things no one else could see
There was a way for you and me
We were the ones
And when someday comes along
The love we gave will still go on
I was a man who always played around in love
So quick to take
But so afraid to give enough
But now
I've found the one
And heaven will only know
What only my eyes can say and time can't take away
I was a girl who trusted no one with my heart
And the dreams that young girls dream were just vanishing in the
Dark
But now
I've found the one
And heaven will only know
What only my eyes can say
They say -
That I will take you forever
And there will never be anyone else in my heart but you
And I will take you forever
And there will never be anyone else but you
Anyone else but you
Now my touch belongs to you and I will always be your best friend
Now my secrets are safe with you and the magic will never end
Now you are the one
And heaven will only know
What only our eyes can say
They say -
That I will take you forever
And there will never be anyone else in my heart but you
And I will take you forever
And there will never be anyone else but you
Anyone else but you
Anyone else but you
That I will take you forever
That I will take you forever
You pick up the cards that they're dealing to you
You can throw down or showdown
The bluff makes a fool out of you
The ante goes up and your luck runs down
It's a strange game, it's a damn shame
But somebody's going to lose
It don't matter, lose or win
You can deal 'em again
Deal 'em again
A handful of hearts and you're playing to win
It goes down and you're put down
And that takes it all out of you
One last hand and you're going for broke
The cards fall and you take all
Just when you thought you were through
It don't matter, lose or win
You can deal 'em again
Deal 'em again
Deal 'em again
Deal 'em again
It don't matter, lose or win
You can, you can deal 'em again
Deal 'em again
You pick up the cards that they're dealing to you
You can throw down or showdown
When love makes a fool out of you
The ante goes up and your luck runs down
It's a strange game, it's a damn shame
But somebody's going to lose
It don't matter, lose or win
You can, you can deal 'em again
Deal 'em again
Deal 'em again
Deal 'em again
You can deal 'em again
Deal 'em again
Deal 'em again
I woke up to my world this morning
Took a long look in the looking glass
Last night I guess I had one or too many
Somebody tried to tell me I had no class
What ever happened to me
Maybe I've been living on lies
Never really had a dream come true
Then again I guess I never really tried
Now the years all slip away
And things are like they're gonna stay
All the roads I didn't take are just
One more thing in the back of my mind
Taking space and time
Wish I'd finished that book I never started
Maybe that's the story of my life
Should've learned to play that saxophone
So I could tell my song to the streetlight
Shouldn't have been so stuck on my own
Could've had a wife and a child
Should've made that house a home
I don't know why my life is so wild
Now the years all slip away
And things are like they're gonna stay
All the chances I didn't take are just
One more thing in the back of my mind
Taking space and time
One more thing in the back of my mind
So I'm thinking about a walk in the sunlight
I've got to get my shadow behind me
Try and make some sense of it all
With my feet on the ground and my heart still free
As the years will slip away
I'll let the cards fall where they may
And all the roads I didn't take will be just
One more thing in the back of my mind
As the years will slip away
And the cards fall as they may
All the chances I didn't take will be just
One more thing in the back of my mind
Taking space and time
One more thing in the back of my mind
Once in your life you'll find her
Someone who turns your heart around
And next thing you know
You're closin' down the town
Wake up and she's still with you
Even though you left her way across town
You're wonderin' to yourself
Hey what've I found
Chorus :
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do (the best that you can do)
The best that you can do is fall in love
Arthur he does what he pleases
All of his life his master's toys
And deep in his heart
He's just he's just a boy
Livin' his life one day at a time
He's showing himself a really good time
He's laughin' about the way
They want him to be
I know
I know what's on your mind
And I know it gets tough sometimes.
But you can give it one more try to find a reason why
You should pick it up and try it again.
'Cause it's all right - I think we're gonna make it.
I think it might just work out this time.I
It's all right - I think we're gonna make it
I think it might work out fine this time.
It's all right - I think we're gonna make
I think it might just work out
'Cause it's not too late for that - too late for me.
I know I've been hurt before
And I know I really shouldn't give any more.
But this time
this time things seem just a little different.
And when I look in your eyes
you know I can see that it's true.
And I hear you say:
It's all right - I think we're gonna make it. . . .
Just when you feel helpless
nothing lefl to say.
Love will find us. The past behind us - then we're on our way.
Time and time again I see people so unsure like me
We all know it gets hard sometimes. You can give it one more try
Find another reason why you should pick it up
You should kick it up and try it again.
'Cause it's all right - I think we're gonna make it.
