I’m still learning what love is
Everyday I wake up in your arms
I’m still trying to figure out what works
How to set off all your alarms
I’m still learning what love is
When I’m walking close to you
The best way to hold your hand in mine
The best way to comfort you
Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
It may always be this way
I’m still learning what love is
Every time you look at me that way
I’m still trying to figure out just how
You can still look at me the same
Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
It may always be this way
Even though I may not get it right
All the time I will always try
And I will always stand right by your side
I’m still learning what love is
Everyday I wake up in your arms
I’m still trying to figure out what works
Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
Guess it may
Gradually I will get wiser
I will get stronger
I will be bolder
I will not settle
I will flirt back
I will stand up or
I will sit back
All this time you thought I was
Weak when I was just pretending
I was just pretending
All this time you made me believe that
I should be sorry
I should be sorry
Gradually
I will outrun you
I will outgrow you
I will ignore you
I will see clearer
I'll overcome you
I will acknowledge how far I have come
All this time you thought I was weak
When I was just pretending
I was just pretending
All this time you made me believe that
I should be sorry
You should be sorry for making me fall
Gradually
I will get older
I will get wiser
I will move slower
I will see clearer
I'll over come
I will acknowledge
How far I have come
All this time you thought I was weak
When I just pretending
I was just pretending
All this time you made me believe that
I should be sorry
Go now, go while you can
From the love that?s brought you down
Things will soon come around, I swear
And they?ll be sorry they let you down
Go now, go while you can
From the life that?s brought you down
Things will soon come around, I swear
And you?ll have it all figured out
Never really worry for a bit
Sometimes it feels worse than it really is
You may always be changing your mind
Just push hard for the finish line
Never really worry for a bit
Farewell so long
'Cause I was wrong I guess
Farewell so long
'Cause I was wrong I confess
I miss the way you
I miss the way you danced with me
I miss the way you
I miss the way you danced with me
So farewell my love
'Cause I was wrong I guess
Farewell so long
'Cause I was wrong I confess
I miss the way you
I miss the way you sing with me
I miss the way you
I miss the way you sing with me
I never asked you for sailboat in the yard
That fancy dress to wear
Ceiling made of stars
And all I got was just this broken heart from you
Can you help me figure out all of these things?
I'm restless, I feel reckless
I'm holding on by a string
No, I can't I'm just as broken
I'm just as damaged as you
I'm so tired
I'm so uninspired
Half dying in this living room
Oh, where do I go?
oh, all on my own?
I can't walk in a straight line when
I don't know what I'm heading for
just keep trying
no more lying to yourself anyore
Oh, where do we go?
I can't, I can't stop crying
Everyday I'm so afraid, afraid of dying
But death already came and got me
'Coz I'm not living, I'm not living anyway
And who am I supposed to be?
Everybody seems to see except for me
Who cares anyway?
'Coz when it's over, it's all over
And what you gained you throw away
And when will love ever find me?
All my life, all I've craved is to be seen
Who cares anyway?
'Coz when it's over all that matters
Crazy, crazy is what they’ve all said
Craziness lives in my head
Craziness lies in my bed
Worry, worrying about everything
Worrying it makes me insane
So much it drives me away
Lonely, loneliness follows me around
Loneliness drags me down
Charlotte you're not getting any younger
Look at how much you've changed
Charlotte you used to be much happier
But it's not you that's to blame
Charlotte you let him push you round
And you're falling apart at the seams
One day he'll get just what he deserves
And you can be yourself once again
I heard the two of you yelling last night
Him threatening you once again
I heard the gun shattering out from your house
I saw him dead on the chair
Charlotte go now and drive far from this town
And I'll tell the cops everything
How I saw him stumbling late in the night
Bicycle, tricycle
Take me far
With my hands
On your handlebars
I can't be
The homecoming queen
For every boy that falls
In and out of love with me
I won't look back, I've been here before
Been here before
I'll turn my back whatever it takes to let him go
Flower dress
Strawberry red
I must confess
You're my safety pin
And hold me together
Hide me well
So he cannot tell
The state that I am in
I won't look back, I've been here before
Been here before
I'll turn my back whatever it takes to let him go
Roller skates
Figure eights
Roll me away
And I won't complain
And I'll bring my raincoat
Boots and umbrella
So he can't ever
Rain on my parade
I won't look back, I've been here before
Been here before
I wish I could take you with me
All the way to New York City
We could get an apartment there
Be closer to our families
We can take my station wagon
And fill it to the brim
And wave goodbye to all our lovely friends
Never to return again
You could write for picture shows
And I could get a job
Waiting tables at a restaurant
Where famous people like to go
We could buy old overcoats
And walk through the snow
All the way around Central Park
Our cheeks as pink as wild roses
We could take the subway home
And stare at our reflections
In the window panes of the train
I've been waiting all my life
I've been waiting for you to come
I've been traveling and wandering
Alone on my own for too long
I swear I tried to convince myself
It would be much easier being alone
But after running circle after circle
I'm tired of being on my own
I've been waiting all my life
I've been waiting for you to come
I've been traveling and wandering
Alone on my own for too long
I wish I could have met your brother
I would tell him how much I am in love
I swear I'll ask him question after question
Confessions about you growing up
I thank God for blessing me
Well beyond I could have thought
And reminding me of how good life can be
When you let yourself fall into his love
Cuz I've been waiting all my life
How am I supposed to know
What love is really like
When I've never even been in love before
Aren't you supposed to love yourself
Before you can understand how to love someone after all
How can I find a way to keep my mother safe
From the boogie man who hides under the stairs
How can I find a way to take his breath away
when he's gently sleeping soundly next to her
Oh how (x6)
Can I save her
How am I to live this life
when the only certanty
is that death is waiting for me at the end
everyday that passes,
i know time is running out
and i fear i may have failed what i'd been given
oh how (x4)
Tell me how
Oh how
Am I supposed to live
How am I to define what faith is to a child
When the only explaination lies within
How am I to tell them if they never follow Christ
That heaven doesn't hold a place for them
Oh how (x4)
Tell me how
When I'm no better than them
Oh how (x4)
Tell me how
Oh how
For you they'll be no more crying
For you the sun will be shining
Cause I feel that when I'm with you
So right
I know it's right
To you I would give the world
To you I'll never be cold
Cause I feel that when I'm with you
So right
I know it's right
And the songbirds are singing like they know this chorus
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before
And I wish you all the love in the world
But most of all I wish it for myself
And the songbirds are singing like they know this chorus
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before
Like never before
Like never before
I'm wandering
I'm crawling
I'm two steps away from falling
I just can't seem to get around
I'm heavy
I'm weary
I'm not thinking clearly
I just can't seem to find solid ground
Since you've been around
I'm running
I'm hiding
I'm afraid you'll never find me
Because I've always felt lost in the crowd
I'm sinking
I'm drowning
I'm so afraid of losing
My head's been spinning round and round
Since you've been around.
I'm foolish and crazy
I just think that maybe
I've got a lot of things to figure out
I'm winning
I'm losing
I'm afraid of never choosing
This heart of mine was so beaten down
In a little while I'll feel better
Gonna travel around the world
Gonna see it all
Gonna go to Paris, maybe Rome
But I'll feel better miles away from home,
Gotta figure some things out
So sell all my things, I'm not coming home
There's nothing there to keep me there
Just heartache and panic and worries and things that'll
bring me down
My head feels much clearer being here
In a little while I'll feel better
Gonna spill my heart to every stranger in every town
I'll visit castles in Ireland, have some fella play the
violin and play a song for me
So sell all my things, I'm not coming home
There's nothing there to keep me there
Just heartache and panic and worries and things that'll
bring me down
Say what you want to say
Play this game your way
It’s over anyway
You didn’t give it up for love
Take what you want to take
Take back the words you’ll say
They never mattered anyway
You didn’t give it up for love
No you didn’t give, give it up for love
When I look through the photographs
And I see the smile on your face
I remember how you used to feel
And I see how much has changed
Say what you want to say
I’ll carry on the same
Maybe you’ll look back someday
You didn’t give it up for love
No you didn’t give, give it up for love
When I look through the photographs
And I see the smile on your face
I remember how you used to feel
And I see how much has changed
When I look through the photographs
And I see the smile on your face
I remember how you used to feel
And I see how much has changed
Say what you want to say
Play this game your way
You will know someday
You didn’t give it up for love
No you didn’t give, give it up for love
One two three four
If I find him, it'll fine just to follow
Would he hold me and never let me go
Would he let me borrow his old winter coat
I don't know, I don't know
If I see her standing there alone
At the train station three stops from her home
I have half a mind to say what I'm thinking anyway
But I don't know, I don't know
There's an airplane in the sky
With a banner right behind
Loneliness is just a crime
Look each other in the eye
And say hello, oh oh oh
And say hello, oh oh oh, oh
Hey there, how you doing?
Red rover, red rover
Send Mary right over
Schoolbooks in her hand
And her shawl over her shoulder
And let her run
Run as fast as she can
Don't let her grow up to be
Like her mother
Heart so unconvinced and her world
So undiscovered
And asking for forgiveness
Not knowing how to forgive.
And oh
Just let her go
And oh
She's beautiful
If you hold her back,
She may never know.
Red rover, red rover,
Send Daniel
Schoolbooks in his hand
And a coat over his shoulder
And let him run
Run as fast as he can
Don't let him grow up to be like his father
Heart so set in stone
And smile so undercover
And opening the door to love,
Never letting love in.
And oh
Just let him go
And oh
He's beautiful
If you hold him back,
Have you seen my love?
Is he far away?
Have you seen the one for me?
His face lights up my day
I won't let one boy steal a kiss or call me his
Instead I'll wait for his voice to call out and carry
these daydreams away
Have you seen my love?
Is he far away?
Have you seen the one for me?
I won't let him get him get away
Please tell him that I'm waiting for him
Praying for him
Night and day
For now I'll be a lonely girl longing for his sweet
embrace
Please tell him that I'm waiting for him
Praying for him
Night and Day
For now I'll be a lonely girl just long for his sweet
You and me, me and you
There’s so much that we’ve been through,
through it all I’ve come to understand Gods love.
And if tomorrow never comes
know this twice, just know this once.
Knowing you has made me able to go on.
You and me, me and you
There couldn’t be a better two,
to be blessed and know the meaning of true love.
And if you leave me I feel scared,
fall apart so unprepared.
But I dare to make it trough all on my own.
Why waste your time?
There is nothing left
Voices in your head tell you to do it
No one will care
No one will know
Everyone just looks out for themselves
It's so hard letting go
Letting go of love
It might cause some pain, I know
But pain is all we've got
Why waste more time?
Time is all you have
Be careful what you say they'll hold you to it
No one will care
No one will know
Everyone feels sorry for themselves
It's so hard letting go
Letting go of love
It might cause some pain, I know
But pain is all you've got
It may be the only way to know
When I was young
I did it my way
I did it my way and I still do
Held my head up high
Asking God for answers and begging him to tell me what
to do
So I play music that's what I do
When I sing I lose myself
There's nothing more I'd rather do
Lord knows I've tried everything else
When I finished school
I took the highway
I took the highway looking for you
Never thought that I
Would ever find you; That you'd be looking for me too
And when you love me, you love me well
When I'm with you I lose myself
There's nothing more I would rather do
Than spend the rest of my life loving you
When I was young
I did it my way
I did it my way and I still do
So I play music that's what I do
And when I sing I lose myself
There's nothing more I'd rather do
So much for love, guess I've been wrong
But it's all right,'cuz I'm moving on
I've got my car all packed with cassette tapes
And sweaters and loose change and cheap cigarettes
I'm gonna drive thru the hills with my hand out
The window and sing till I run out of words
I'm gonna stop at every truck stop
Make small talk with waiters and truck driving men
I'm gonna fall asleep in the back seat
With no one around but me and my friends
It's gonna be so grand
It's gonna be just like my wedding day, yeah
Yeah, I've had enough of love, it feels good to give up
So good to be good to myself
And I'm gonna get on the highway with no destination
And plenty of visions in mind
And I'm gonna drive to the ocean, go skinny dipping
Blow kisses to Venus and Mars
I'm gonna stop at every bar
And flirt with the cowboys in front their good friends
It's gonna be so grand
It's gonna be just like my wedding day, yeah
So much for love, I guess I've been wronged
But it's all right 'cuz I'm moving on
I'm gonna drive over hills, over mountains and canyons
And boys that keep bringin' me down
I'm gonna drive under skyline and sunshine
Drink good wine in vineyards and get asked to dance
I'm gonna be carefree and let nothing pass me by
Never ever, ever again
It's gonna be so grand
It's gonna be so grand
I cried on my birthday
Was broken to pieces
And everyone noticed
So I made up some reasons
And just when I thought I had more to bring
Well, you tell me you want different things
And I don't believe you
Or I didn't want to
And it's unfair
When two worlds collide
One goes for broke
One walks the line
Yeah, it seems so unfair
To wait your whole life
For someone to finally take a stand for you
And you're still waiting in line
Now I can't hear music
And I can't take train rides
And I can't remember
The last time I felt right
And I want the movies
And I want the love songs
And I want forgiveness
Yeah I want to move on
And it's unfair
When two worlds collide
I meant what I said
And you barely tried
Yeah it seems so unfair
To wait your whole life
For someone to finally take a chance on you
And your still waiting in line
Well I know, (I know, I know) I gotta let go. (I gotta, I gotta)
Well I know, (I know, I know) I gotta let go. (I've got to let you go)
What if I told you
I could lose you?
If I waited,
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
May be too late
Birds fly above you
Love is around you
I would like to be too
Forever, forever and ever
With you
I would follow you
Anywhere you are going to
Tomorrow, forever, always
And if you were to
Sail across the ocean blue
I would like to sail with you
I'd follow, I’d follow, I’d follow
You home
I would follow you
Anywhere you are going to
Tomorrow, forever, always
I would follow you
Oh, anywhere you are going to
Tomorrow, forever,
Tomorrow, forever,
What if I were to say I love you
if I believed it to be true
would it be my dumb for (?)
wither all my pride
to admit my world seems lonely
without you
what if I ignored these voices
that seem to spread me mightly thin
I know my saviour I need to get out through my head
before my own walls come tumbling in
I'm so tired
I'm so wired
perfections seem to brutalize this face
just give in
might be too end
but it takes a know(?) of heart to find the way
what if I'd just stop breathing
and let those walls come tumbling in
what if I (?) placing one for before the other
feeling fear's my only friend
I'm so tired
I'm so wired
perfections seem to brutalize this face
just give in
might be too end
but it takes a know(?) of heart to find the way
gotta find the way
oh, I find the way
what if I just surrended
and felt, you lost my only friend
if I were to speak without loving words
that filter through my teeth
turned my skin to glass and let you in
I'm so tired
I'm so wired
perfections seem to brutalize this face
just give in
might be to wind
but it takes a know of heart to find the way
gotta find the way
He took me to the hillside
He liked to take me there
He took me every Saturday
He put flowers in my hair
And we laughed like my mother said she once did
With my father on his birthday
When they went swimming
And he took her hand into his
And he told her that he loved her
His words held meaning
How do we make these moments last?
How do we get them to stay?
When everything passes and time goes away
He took me to the theater
He liked to take me there
He took me every Sunday
We did our talking there
And we laughed like my mother said she once did
With her sister on her birthday when she was seventeen
They took her car out for a spin
Along the ocean with the top down and life held meaning
How do we make these moments last?
How do we get them to stay?
These friends of mine live their lives
Spend their time, hoping to find
But who they are and how they're made
They may be there, hope you find your way
These friends of mine, they have wife's
They work hard to love and write
And when they left, it makes me high
To take a trip ten thousand miles before they fly
These friends of mine, they feel alone
When the shows are over, don't know where to go
In Philadelphia at Christmas time
They question those, wonder why they try
And when the show is over
How I hope that they discover the joy that they bring
And I hope they remember this bond we have together
And oh, they love to sing
These friends of mine, they're from New York
They were raised in Michigan
They don't know things, they don't hold hands
They guard their hearts the best they can
And when the show is over
How I hope they discover the joy that they bring
And I hope they remember this bond we have together
Oh, they love to sing, they sure love to sing
Maybe I needed this time to be reminded for myself
Maybe I needed this time to be reminded for myself
This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I’ve left behind
A simple thought to occupy my mind
This one goes out to the one I love
Fire (she’s comin’ down on her own, now)
This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I’ve left behind
A simple prop has occupied my time
Put your pretty dress on
It's time for you to go to the dance
Tie your hair in ribbons and lace
And wear pearls 'round your neck
And all the pretty princes will see you
All the pretty princes will see you
Some day, some day
Put your red boots on
It's time for you to walk home from school
Everyone will laugh, they'll point fingers at you
They'll be cruel
But cover up your ears and don't listen
Because you'll know much better than them
Some day, some day
And they'll wave to you
And they'll wave to you
Put your red coat on
And walk with a light in the woods
If it gets dark don't get scared
There's so much waiting for you
Cover up your tears and don't show them
'Cause you'll know much better than them
Some day, some day
And they'll wave to you
And they'll wave to you
And they'll wave to you
And they'll wave to you
'Cause they don't see you like I see you
If they did, they'd see
The nice little girl whose grown up
To become homecoming queen
Put your pretty dress on
Put your red boots on
And they'll wave to you
And they'll wave to you
And we'll wave to you
And we'll wave to you
Put your pretty dress on
Put your red boots on
Put your red coat on
Put your pretty dress on
Put your pretty dress on
Put your red coat on
Put your red boots on
Tonight I'm like a paper doll
Dress me in what you wish I had on
And I will not say a thing
I'll just keep smiling
Here I am, wordless again
You dress me up different ways
Flat and thin, speechless within
You dress me up different ways
And I just can't be sure I'll ever change
And I do not like the clothes I wear
I'd sooner throw them into the air
But I will not say a thing
I'll just keep smiling
Here I am, wordless again
You dress me up different ways
Flat and thin, speechless within
You dress me up different ways
And I just can't be sure I'll ever change
Why is it now that you've cut me out
Of everything I was used to
Now, it's not that I stand here with no choice
I will choose now to raise up my voice
Here I am, wordless again, wordless again
And I just can't be sure I'll ever change
Tonight I'm like a paper doll
Cut from the page that I once lived on
And I will not say a thing
I'll just keep smiling, I'll just keep smiling
i wish he could see
how beautiful he is to me
i wish i could stay out of his way
but thats much too hard for me
i wish we could fly away
on a paper airplane
he tells me everything
calls me his martin luther king
says he's good at running far
i tell him everything
call him by the wrong name
say i'm good at chasing stars
i wish we could fly away
on a paper airplane
i wish we could fly away
One more day
Just one more day then I’m done
One more car ride and
One more rising of the sun
Then I’ll jump so high
Angels will catch my fall
I'll jump so high
Angels will catch my fall
I had my chance and I just showed it to the door
I won't apologize to myself anymore
So I’ll jump so high
Angels will catch my fall
I'll jump so high
Angels will catch my fall
One more day
Just one more day then I’m done
No more failures and
Make her a flower in late December
When the sun is not shining on her
Write her a love song and play it all day long
To remind her of all that she is worth
Never, never leave her
Take her on long drives for ice cream by sea sides
And give her your coat when she is cold
Tell her you miss her, when you're close enough to kiss her
And that you'd walk a thousand miles to tell her so
But never, never, leave her
Take photographs of her on Brooklyn street in October
When her nervous smile is slightly curved
Some days when she is slightly down tell her it's okay to frown
It makes you just fall more in love with her
New York is lovely in the winter time
All the sidewalks are white as snow
The buildings, all the people that pass me by
How the smile on his face says he's in love
I took the train all the way to Brooklyn Heights
I remember when you took it there with me
We sat side by side and held hands for some time
We saluted the Statue of Liberty
I have much farther to go
Everything is new and so unpredictable
I should just kick my heels together and go home
But I'm not sure where that is anymore
Oh, how I wish I could go back in time
To the night when I heard my mother cry
She held me in her arms and we talked for some time
And I sang a song her mother sang to her and it goes
Something about paper dolls and what men prefer
Something about the cross and how her Jesus died for her
Something about love and how the truth fighting for
I wonder does love like that exist anymore?
And I, I have much farther to go
And I, I'm so confused I know
I should just kick my heels together and go home
But I lost my way when I lost you
Sometimes I cry when it's late at night
And you're not there to lay next to me
Morning breaks and the sun warms my face
Love is real, real is love,
Love is feeling, feeling love,
Love is wanting to be loved.
Love is touch, touch is love,
Love is reaching, reaching love,
Love is asking to be loved.
Love is you,
You and me,
Love is knowing,
We can be.
Love is free, free is love,
Love is living, living love,
I run I run far from
You to the apple tree in my yard
With my dress all bundled up in my hands
Dirt on my feet I am dreaming again
I run I run I run far from
You to the lilac tree in my yard
no more swing set for the girl who is all grown up
no more tea parties parades or mothers in love
I hold my breath past the cemetery
My brother wins he can hold it much longer then me
Gravel roads make car keys rattle on steering wheels
Children and horses old barns and old automobiles
I run I run I run far from
You to the watered streets of Oregon
With a coffee cup half full in my hands
And I’m praying my savior would
Just place a gun in my hands
I run I walk I lie far from
Freaks and lying cheats on the tip of my tongue
The moon hides in the sky behind rows of tree tops
And I’m wishing I was somewhere up there
With the mermaids and stars
I run I run far from
Reality to escape who I’ve become
Insanity is close at my back
And I’m getting rather numb from the snakes
She's like a sweater, old and used
Tossed and overworn too many times through
And she used to look so bright
All her seams were tightly tied
She's like a sweater that's just worn out
Fading, coffee stained and out of style
And she's just about to run
Before her stitches come undone
She's gonna pack her bags and leave
No more loose, unraveled seams
She is young and she still has her confidence
And it's not too late to tie up those loose ends
She's like a fire in the rain
His words will damp her eyes and heat her veins
And the love she thought she found
Was just another hand-me-down of dwindled greys
She's gonna pack her bags and leave
No more loose, unraveled seams
She is young and she still has her confidence
And it's not too late to tie up those loose ends
She's found a refuge for her face
A wall dividing her unfortunate displace
Now she stands too high for them to wring her dry
She's found her way
She's gonna pack her bags and leave
No more loose, unraveled seams
She is young and she still has her confidence
And it's not too late to tie up those loose ends
No it's not too late to tie up those loose ends
I let myself fall
I let myself fall
I let myself fall
In love with you
There's no turning back
There's no turning back
There's no turning back
Since I let myself fall in love with you
Now I picture things
Now I picture things
Wedding gowns and wedding rings
I'm blessed the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me
Cause each time we meet, love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be?
So never leave me lonely
Tell you love me only
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 you love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me
So never leave me lonely
Tell you love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me
Let it be me
looks like i've done what i can
tried to give my last breath
it was all that i had
so i ruled with my pen
try to call you my friend
becoming more what you request
who's going to finish my coffee now that you're gone?
looks like i've done it again
try to be all i am
not enough to have your hand
so i travelled far
with your letters in my hands
and then stand with confidence
who's going to make me laugh now that you're gone?
who's going to make me laugh now that you're gone?
looks like i've done it again
put my trust in a man
who made my garden next to him
but i can breathe on my own
i do not need his backbone
though it was nice sometimes to lean
now i seem lost and inbetween
who's going to make me laugh now that you're gone?
O Lorraine, o Lorraine
Looks like tears again
But they'll never get you far
Things are just the way they are
So let it go and say you tried
One last goodbye
O Lorraine, o Lorraine
So much life left in your veins
What good's a heart if it's unclaimed
Can nothing ever stay the same
Why do good friends go away?
No more turnpikes, New York street lights
No more plane flights for Lorraine
O Lorraine, o Lorraine
Mother warned you of such things
Love can give and take away
Peoples' words can rearrange
With so much left to say
No more turnpikes, New York street lights
No more plane flights for Lorraine
No more turnpikes, New York street lights
No more plane flights for Lorraine
No more turnpikes, New York street lights
Oh, tie me to the end of a kite
So I can go on, I can go on with my life
Every marigold I pass below
Will be my guiding light
I just want to go away from here
Oh, tie me to the end of a kite
So I can go on, I can go on with my life
Every time the wind blows stronger
I will feel my spirit rise
I just want to go away from here
Oh, tie me up and tightly by your side
So I may go with you where ever you reside
Anytime the road looks dimmer
I will be your guiding light
I just want to go away with you
It don't matter to the sun
If you go or if you stay
No, the sun is gonna rise, gonna rise
Shine down on another day
There will be a tomorrow
Even if you choose to leave
Cuz it don't matter to the sun no, no
It matters to me
It ain't gonna stop the world
If you walk out that door
This old world just keeps spinning round, spinning
round
Like it did the day before
Cuz to them it makes no difference
It just keeps on keeping time
Cuz it ain't gonna stop the world no
But it'll be the end of mine
So what can I say?
What can I do?
I'm still in love.
Why aren't you?
Cuz it don't matter to the moon
If your not in my life
No the moon will just keep hanging round, hanging round
Like its just another night
Who find another place to shine
On some other lovers dreams
Cuz it don't matter to the moon no, no
It matters to me
Cuz it don't matter to the moon no, no
Ooh, at night when I sleep all the dreams come to me
Make me believe that my life is not migro
And if life like my dreams, all the things I would see
I would be so much braver than I know
No, I can't understand what it means to be a man
And to leave a woman from her heart
And if love would indeed all the things I'd believed
Then I guess I'll never feel alone
Oh, will I ever know
And if they said he never sleeps
Thus that mean that no one dreams
Yeah it's been a really long year
Flew to Oklahoma
That's where he got down on one knee
When I called my mom she was in tears
The day we pulled out her wedding gown
She hadn't looked at it in 40 years
And I, I watched her reminisce for awhile
Just 19 and walking down the aisle
Yeah it's been a really long year
Made new friends in Kansas
Watched my grandpa be an auctioneer
Brother made that farm look like a dream
The marching band played in the parade
And all the bridesmaids in the trolley waved
And I, I watched their faces for some time
And somewhere over the rainbow was my life
Somewhere over the rainbow
Over the rainbow
Skies will be blue
Somewhere over the rainbow
Over the rainbow
Dreams do come true
Yeah it's been a really long year
Laura had a baby boy while I was travelling in Germany
Mother lost her friend in summertime
Before she went to be with the Lord
She told my brother she'd find him a wife
And I, when I heard that story how I cried
Cuz I could hear the longing in his voice
I could see the hope in his eyes
Yeah, I could see him dancing with his bride
Yeah it's been a really long year
Never thought that I would see the day
I put my favourite white dress on,
And my 2 dollar shoes,
Tie my hair up the way you like,
Make you see that I'm still in love with you,
I'll play your favourite records,
Make you some home-made coffee cake,
Let you win me in a hand of poker,
Convince you to never want to go away,
Mmm.. Mmm...
I'll leave you notes in the morning,
And get you ready for your day,
Kiss your lips before you leave me,
Make you see my love for you will never change,
And at night I'll tuck you into bed,
Tell you stories 'til you fall asleep,
Then I'll hold you under the moonlight,
And hope that you will always be this close to me.
