What's the point
Of all this pointless proximity
If you won't talk
Take me for a walk
Through a little story
All these years
Have made me sick to tears
Of such mysteries
Why should I keep you
If you won't keep me
Company?
Til I get to know you
I ain't gonna show you nothing
Wordlessly
Whatchoo think this is?
You think that that grin
Gonna get you in
Where you wanna be?
Do I have to stand under your little cloud
Just to get near you
Baby can't you help this little girl
Not to fear you
Why don't you just talk
Take me for a walk
Through a little story
And tell me
Why should I keep you
If you won't keep me
Some can see it's poetry
Come as you are in your broken car
The company
Carousel is wishing well
As a wonder night that spoke delight
To the company
Can you hear the summer calling you
Can you hear him call you now
Can you hear the summer calling you
Can you hear him call you now
Broken dream, just a token scheme
Silver man with a telegram
For the company
Scalding blue, come talk to you
Search the cave for the grave
Of the company
Can you hear the summer calling you
Can you hear him call you now
Can you hear the summer calling you
Can you hear him call you now
Can you hear the summer calling you
Can you hear him call you now
Can you hear the summer calling you
Can you hear him call you now
Can you hear the summer calling you
Can you hear him call you now
Can you hear the summer calling you
If you ask me I will say I'm fine
All pink like birthday girls and valentines
And then the stillness of the night reminds
That I don't like to be alone
My thoughts are race cars running 'round my head
They burst into flames and they crash into my bed
Until I fall into a dream instead
Where all my lovers turn to stone
And all I want is company
Someone to understand this misery
Send a reflection of myself to me
'Cause everybody needs some company
These times I'm living in just make no sense
Sometimes my face gets pushed against the fence
I want to scream out in my self-defense
But I don't want to be alone
And all I want is company
Someone to understand this misery
Send a reflection of myself to me
'Cause everybody needs some company
What is truth and what is fear
Will I find it under here
I know they're selling me a lie
But I'm first in line to buy
First in line to try
I find some sanity on the written page
Where life is worth more than a living wage
They say the battle's over now it's time to change
And I won't ever be alone
And all I want is company
Someone to understand this misery
Send a reflection of myself to me
'Cause everybody needs some company
I need some company
I'll remember you too clearly
But I'll survive another day
Conversations to share
When there's no one there
I'll imagine what you'd say
I'll see you in another life now, baby
I'll free you in my dreams
But when I reach across the galaxy
I will miss your company
Company
I'll be looking for company
Look and listen
Through the years
Someday you may hear me
Still crying for company
So now you're going off to live your life
You say we'll meet each other now and then
But we'll never be the same
And I know I'll never have this chance again
No, not like you
So, I'll see you in another life now baby,
I'll free you in my dreams
But when I reach across the galaxy
I will miss your company
Company
I'll be looking for company
Look and listen
Through the years
Someday you may hear me
Still crying for company
I'll remember you too clearly,
But I'll survive another day.
Conversations to share when there's no one there.
I'll imagine what you'd say.
I'll see you in another life now, baby.
I free you in my dreams,
but when I reach out across the galaxies,
I will miss your company.
Company, I'll be looking for company.
Looking at this through the years.
Someday you will hear me, still crying, I'll be crying,
crying for company.
I'll be crying for company.
So now you're going off
to live your life.
You say we'll see each other now and then;
But we'll never, never, never be the same.
And I know, I know, I'll have never have a chance again, (No not like you)
I'll see you in another life now baby.
I free you in my dreams,
But when I reach out across the galaxies,
I'll miss your company.
Company, I'll be looking for company.
Looking at this through the years.
Someday you will hear me, still crying, I'm still crying
Crying, crying for company.
I'm still crying for company.
Start your engines
Can we get the chemicals in
Cause anything's better than this
Mix it up with vicadin
Cause anything's better than this
Little cuts on your wrist,
To try and get back the feeling
And no real friendships exists
That would be an understatement
Tell me the reason
(cannot show up)
Friends you knew before
(hello, how have you been?)
This is your season
(oh I give up)
Just show up
(I can't knock on your door)
Cause I keep bad company
I'm trouble
So go on stay away from me
I play the villain
You don't know where we've been
Lining em up again
Start your engines
Can we get the chemicals in
Old english is making me manic
I go to SuicideGirls again
To check on anything I missed
The stitches don't even begin
To even stop up the bleeding
Can we get the chemicals in
Cause anything's better than this
The city is dying
(at least to me)
The city is dead now
(my kingdom for a friend)
Are you even trying
(to find some peace)
Don't need a reason
(I get some living in)
Cause I keep bad company
I'm in trouble
Last chance stay away from me
I play the villain
You don't know where we've been
Lining em up again
Keep saying this will end
I keep bad company
I'm in trouble
Keep saying this will end
Lining em up again
You know I'll never change
Lining em up again
Lines in your forehead, I can see
All your attention divert from me
What could possibly weigh on you so heavily
I can tell you really need some perspective here
Take one small step outside of yourself
The grass looks no greener right here
Take one small step outside of yourself and you’ll find
You’re not the only one
Weight on your shoulders, a tragedy
Is making you older in front of me
Oh, why can’t you see that you’re here in good company
I can see you really need some perspective here
And you’ve fallen out of love with yourself
Yah, well, we’re just all pillars of self-esteem
Take one small step outside of yourself and you’ll find
Got a rich man's dream
Wanna swap my taxi on a limousine
Wanna cash it in
Wanna give it all away
Got a poor man's needs
Beans in the bucket and love in the sheets
And your sandy eyes
Makin' it all alright
Somethin's comin' on me
And I don't know where I'm goin'
I don't know where I'm goin'
I got no place to be
Honey keep me company
Walk peacefully in a town somehow in New Jersey
In my mama's arms rockin' to the radio
Now I sing myself to sleep
In apartment four in building D
Gotta lock the door
Gotta hide the key
Oh baby I'm free
And I don't know where I'm goin'
I don't know where I'm goin'
I got no place to be
Honey keep me company
Maybe one day I'll be a famous man with an L.A. tan
A million fans and a catamaran floatin' movie stars
Maybe one day I'll be a bum in a gutter with a bottle in my hand
And your sandy eyes
Makin' it all alright
Makin' it all alright
Looking in the mirror, what do I see but me?
Trying to forget her it was never meant to be
And that's not clever, cause she didn't mean a thing
The morning after what do I see, tell me what do I see
No wonder I feel wasted, I did it to myself
No wonder I've been losing sleep
With the company I keep
Looking in the mirror eyes blood shot and sore
Trying to remember was it me or was it her
Sitting in the traffic feeling such a fake
And all this panic cause I made a mistake, tell me what can I say
No wonder I feel cheated, I did it to myself
No wonder I've been losing sleep
No wonder I feel wasted
I did it to myself
No wonder I've been losing sleep with the company I keep
Oh, gonna make you see, need your company
Oh, gonna make you see, need your company
Oh, gonna make you see, need your company
Need your company
Saw my reflection in the window of a store,
Got no price tag, I've been used and worn
And that's not clever 'cause she wasn't worth a damn
Now only my conscience knows who I am
No wonder I feel wasted, I did it to myself
No wonder I've been losing sleep
No wonder I feel cheated, I did it to myself
No wonder I've been losing sleep
As I sat the moon started rising
I'm swinging on the rocking chair
It's kinda dark on the horizon
But that's only 'cause the sun ain't there
As I sat the moon started rising
And I remembered like it were yesterday
It was kinda dark beyond the horizon
He had come to take me away
I don't know, I don't know of course
I don't know I don't know why life is so short
As I stood the moon started rounding
She saw him dismounting his horse
In the dark he led himself by starlight
To the porch and from the far lights of the storm
And as she stood the moon started rounding
Her heart started pounding like a fist on the door
From the dark she heard her name that he was saying
And that's what she was waiting for
I don't know, I don't know if it's tame enough there
I don't know, if I go, will I miss it out here
She would go but doubt slowly killed it
Where her love just could not fill it up again
And he just knew he didn't have to ask her
He did not run it past her if this were the end
So she walked here hair flowing behind her
As a gentle reminder that she was only a child
And it was dark but he gently kissed her
He knows he won't forget her with a hint of a smile
And as she cried he cast back a shadow behind him
And it did remind him that there were stars up there too
And it was dark but he gently kissed her
I'm so sorry I could not accompany you
I don't know, I don't know why it just wouldn't be
I don't know I don't know why I couldn't be company
I don't know I don't know
I don't know I don't know

Everyday in our bones the feeling of being fucked with beyond tired sick of this bull shit
What the hell is with all this were gonna change this
Twisting our minds with the lies
I don't ever want to be in a world of make believe
I don't ever want to change myself just like you 'cause
Kicking us down with the lies ain't gonna change me
Kicking us down with the lies within in your company
Kicking us down with the lies ain't gonna change nothing
If I could fly across the sea let someone else deal with all this
If I could rape anyone that pleased me I'd be just like you
Twisted our minds with the lies ain't gonna change me twisting' our minds with the lies
'cause we can't let go of armor built inside no more weakness eyes wide open what you represent
I feel sickness coming on no more weakness eyes wide open
I'll remember you too clearly
But I'll survive another day
Conversations to share
When there's no one there
I'll imagine what you'd say
{Refrain}:
I'll see you in another life now baby
I'll free you in my dreams
But when I reach across the galaxy
I will miss your company
{Chorus}
Company
I'll be looking for company
Look and listen, through the years
Someday you may hear me
Still crying for company
So now you're going off
To live your life
You say we'll meet each other
Now and then
But we'll never be the same
And I know I'll never
Have this chance again
No, not like you, so
{Refrain}
All my life it seemed
that something had been missing
i didn’t know what to do
days would pass me by
each as lonely as the other
until I met you
you opened the door
and let the sunshine in
my life will never be the same again
[chorus]
Now that I have you
everything just seems so right
now that I have you I’m alive
you are the song that I’ll be
singing my whole life through
i’m living in a brighter world
now that I have you
looking ahead I see
the two of us together
i’ll never let you go
you’re so dear to me
and it isn’t any wonder
why I love you so
you opened the door
and let the sunshine in
my life will never be the same again
[chorus]
Now that I have you
everything just seems so right
now that I have you I’m alive
you are the song that I’ll be
singing my whole life through
i’m living in a brighter world
now that I have …you
[bridge]
I feel this love is real
i see it in your eyes
you take my hand and I understand
you are mine
You are mine
[chorus]
Now that I have you
everything just seems so right
now that I have you I’m alive
you are the song that I’ll be
singing my whole life through
i’m living in a brighter world
now that I have
(Now that I have you everything just seems so right)
i’m living in a brighter world
May sikreto akong sasabihin sa 'yo
Mayroong nangyaring hindi mo alam
Ito'y isang lihim itinagong kay tagal
Muntik na kitang minahal
'Di ko noon nakayang ipadama sa 'yo
Ang nararamdaman ng pusong ito
At hanggang ngayon ay naaalala pa
Muntik na kitang minahal
Refrain:
Ngayon ay aaminin ko na
Na sana nga'y tayong dalawa
Bawa't tanong mo'y iniwasan ko
Akala ang pag-ibig mo'y 'di totoo
'Di ko alam kung anong nangyari
Damdamin ko sa 'yo'y hindi ko nasabi
Hanggang ang puso mo'y napagod
Sa paghihintay kay tagal
Saka ko lang naisip muntik na kitang minahal
'Di ko noon nakayang ipadama sa 'yo
Ang nararamdaman ng pusong ito
At hanggang ngayon ay naaalala pa
Muntik na kitang minahal
Refrain:
Ngayon ay aaminin ko na
Na sana nga'y tayong dalawa
Bawa't tanong mo'y iniwasan ko
Akala ang pag-ibig mo'y 'di totoo
'Di ko alam kung anong nangyari
Damdamin ko sa 'yo'y hindi ko nasabi
Hanggang ang puso mo'y napagod
Sa paghihintay kay tagal
Saka ko lang naisip
Muntik na kitang minahal
Hanggang ang puso mo'y napagod
Sa paghihintay kay tagal
Saka ko lang naisip
Go, go, go, Joseph
Go, go, go, Joseph

Red, yellow, green, brown
Scarlet, black, ocher, peach
Ruby, olive, violet, fawn
He looks handsome, he looks smart
He is a walking work of art
In my dazzling coat of many colors
How I love my coat of many colors
It was red, yellow, green, brown
Scarlet, black, ocher, peach, ruby
Olive, violet, fawn, lilac, gold
Chocolate, mauve
Cream and crimson and silver
And rose and azure and lemon
And russet and gray and purple
And white and pink and orange
And blue
There's one more angel in heaven
There's one more star in the sky
Joseph, we'll never forget you
It's tough but we're gonna get by
There's one more angel in heaven
There's one more star in the sky
Joseph, the things that you stood for
Like truth and light never die
Go, go, go, Joseph
You know what they say
Hang on now Joseph
You'll make it some day
Sha la la Joseph, you're doing fine
You and your dream coat
Ahead of your time
Go, go, go, Joseph
You know what they say
Hang on now Joseph
You'll make it some day
Sha la la Joseph, you're doing fine
You and your dream coat
Ahead of your time
Go, go, go, Joseph
You know what they say
Hang on now Joseph
You'll make it some day
Sha la la Joseph, you're doing fine
You and your dream coat
Ahead of your time
A Pharaoh's story
A Pharaoh's story
A Pharaoh's story
A Pharaoh's story
Strange as it seems
There's been a run of crazy dreams
And a man who can interpret
Could go far
Could become a star
Could be famous
Could be a big success
Could be famous
Could be a big success
Could become a star
Could be famous
Could be a big success
Could be famous
Could be a big success
Joseph, Pharaoh's number two
Joseph, Egypt looks to you
Joseph, Pharaoh's number two
Joseph, Egypt looks to you
Joseph
Well I was wanderin'
Along by the banks of the river
When seven fat cows
Came up out of the Nile
Uh huh, oh yeah
And right behind these
Fine healthy animals came
Seven other cows skinny and vile
Uh huh, oh yeah
Well the thin cows ate
The fat cows which I
Thought would do them good
Uh huh, oh yeah
But it didn't make them fatter
Like such a monster supper should
Well the thin cows were as thin
As they had ever, ever, ever, ever been
This dream has got me baffled
Hey, Joseph, what does it mean?
Well, you know that kings ain't stupid
But I don't have a clue
Don't be cruel, Joseph
Help me now, I beg of you
So back in Canaan
The future looked rough
Jacob's family was
Finding it tough
For the famine has
Caught us unprepared
We are thin, we are ill
We are getting scared
It's enough to make anyone weep
We are down to our very last sheep
We will starve if we hang around here
And in Egypt there's food going spare
They've got corn, they've got meat
They've got fruit and drinks
And if we have the time
We could see the Sphinx
So they finally decided to go
Here we go
Off to Egypt to see brother Jo
Oh no, not he
How you can accuse him, is a mystery
Save him, take me
Benjamin is straighter
Than the tall palm tree
Oh yes, it's true
Benjamin is straighter
Than the big bamboo
No' Ifs', no 'Buts'
Benjamin is honest
As coconuts, la la la
Oh no, not he
How you can accuse him, is a mystery
Save him, take me
Benjamin is straighter
Than the tall palm tree
So Jacob came to Egypt
No longer feeling old
And Joseph came to meet him
In his chariot of the gold, of gold, of gold
Give me my colored coat
My amazing colored coat
Give me my colored coat
[Incomprehensible]
Farewell, farewell
Godspeed, Titanic
From your berth glide free
As you plough the deep
In your arms I'll keep
Safely west may you carry me
Sail on, sail on
Great ship, Titanic
Cross the open sea
Pray the journey's sound
Till your port be found
Fortune's winds sing Godspeed to Thee
I used to be so unhappy and so lonely
Love would come and never stay
But, that was yesterday
I was scared to admit I cared for someone
'Cause my heart would always break
But, things have changed today
Darling, did you know that something happened to us?
Right before the future and right after the past
Did you smile when you found out what a wonderful thing it was?
We found an everlasting love
I'm glad we'll go through life together
'Cause when you are by my side
Tomorrow looks so bright
I'm sure we'll stay in love forever
As for all our fears and doubt
They're all behind us now
Darling, did you know that something happened to us?
Right before the future and right after the past
Did you smile when you found out what a wonderful thing it was?
This love is everlasting
Darling, did you know that something happened to us?
Right before the future and right after the past
Did you smile when you found out what a wonderful thing it was?
We found an everlasting love
Sharing my love with you as
We journey through life walking hand in hand
But our lifetime seems short for a love
That will last 'til the end of time
Darling, did you know that something happened to us?
Right before the future and right after the past
Did you smile when you found out what a wonderful thing it was?
This love is everlasting
Darling, did you know that something happened to us?
Right before the future and right after the past
Did you smile when you found out what a wonderful thing it was?
Our hearts have found a love
(We found an everlasting love)
Kay tamis ng musika
Hanggang sa pagsapit ng umaga
Basta't ang samba'y sayaw
Tayo'y magsasama muli
Walang hahadlang
Wala ring pipigil maski sino man
Narito na ang awit
At narito na ang sayaw
Huwag mong biguin sinta
Hayaan malasin mo na tayo'y mag-samba
When there's a time for our song
And there's a time for our dance
I am a tune
And then I just find myself dancing the samba
With no one but me
This is how we both go on
Together and yet we're so far
Won't you please come with me
And samba through life with me
Forget all your troubles
We'll make such sweet music
Until the night is done
Just dance the samba with me
We'll be together again
Say you love me and I'll say I love you too
This is the time for that song
And this is the time for that dance
I don't feel alone because I know that you'll stay with
To samba through life with me
(Instrumental)
(Welcome to the wonderful world of RecycleDeluxe...)
When there's a time for our song
And there's a time for our dance
I am a tune
And then I just find myself dancing the samba
With no one but me
This is how we both go on
Together and yet we're so far
Won't you please come with me
And samba through life with me
Forget all your troubles
We'll make such sweet music
Until the night is done
Just dance the samba with me
We'll be together again
Say you love me and I'll say I love you too
This is the time for that song
And this is the time for that dance
I don't feel alone because I know that you'll stay with
To samba through life with me (with me, with me)
Alarm goes off at seven
And you start uptown
You put in your eight hours
For the powers that have always been
Till it's five P.M
Then You go
Downtown
Where the folks are broke
Downtown
Where your life's a joke
Downtown
When you buy your token
You go
Home to skid row
Yes, you go
Downtown
Where the cabs don't stop
Downtown
Where the food is slop
Downtown
Where the hop-heads flop
In the snow
Down on Skid Row
Uptown you cater to a million jerks
Uptown you're messengers and
Mailroom clerks
Eating all your lunches at the
Hot dog carts
The bosses take your money
And they break your hearts
Uptown you cater to a million whores
You disinfect terrazzo on their
Bathroom floors
Your morning's tribulation
Afternoon's a curse
And five o'clock is even worse
That's when you go
Downtown
Where the guys are drips
Downtown
Where they rip your slips
Downtown
Where relationships are no go
Down on skid row
Down on skid row
Down on skid row
Down on skid row
Down on skid row
Down on skid row
Down on skid row
Down on skid row
Poor! All my life I've always been poor
I keep asking God what I'm for
And he tells me "Gee, I'm not sure
Sweep that floor, kid."
Oh, I started life as an orphan
A child of the street
Here on skid row
He took me in, gave me shelter, a bed
Crust of bread and a job
Treats me like dirt, calls me a slob
Which I am
So I live
Downtown
That's your home address
Ya live Downtown
When your life's a mess
Ya live Downtown
Where depression's just
Status Quo
Down on skid row
Someone show me a way to get
Outta here
'Cause I constantly pray I'll get
Outta here
Please, won't somebody say I'll get
Outta here
Someone gimme my shot or I'll
Rot here
Downtown
There's no rules for us
Downtown
'Cause it's dangerous
Downtown
Where the rainbow's jus a no-show
Downtown
Where the sun don't shine
Downtown
Past the bottom line
Downtown
Go ask any wino, he'll know
I'll do I dunno what to get outta skid
Downtown
But a hell of a lot to get outta skid
Downtown
People tell me there's not a way outta skid
Downtown
But believe me I gotta get outta skid
Baby, if she loves you more than me
Maybe it's the best thing
Maybe it's the best thing for you
But it's the worst that could happen
Worst that could happen
The worst that could happen
Boy, I'll never get married
I'll never get married
You know that's not my scene
But a boy like you (just like you)
Needs to be married
I've known all along you couldn't live
Forever in between and...
Baby, if she loves you more than me
Maybe it's the best thing
Maybe it's the best thing for you (maybe)
But it's the worst that could happen
Boy, you shouldn't really blame me
For having a dream of my own (my own dream)
Boy, you know I can't really blame you
A man like you needs a house and a home
Baby
If you love her
Maybe it's the best thing
Maybe it's the best thing for you (maybe)
But it's the worst that could happen (worst that could
happen)
To me
The worst that could happen (the worst to me)
The worst that could happen (the worst to me)
I don't blame you
You don't blame me
So is this the way it's gonna be
Hey!
CHORUS:
That's not the way we planned it
That's not the way we planned our love
I just don't understand it at all
What makes our love grow old?
What makes our heart grow cold?
Sometimes I look at you
And recall the joy we knew
When all we had to do was let love grow
And somehow it saddens me
All those lonely memories
Just remind me of what we never know
I don't blame you
You don't blame me
So is this the way it's gonna be
Hey!
CHORUS:
That's not the way we planned it
That's not the way we planned our love
I just don't understand it at all
Hey!
That's not the way we planned it
That's not the way we planned our love
I just don't understand it at all
What makes our love grow old?
What makes our heart grow cold?
Somewhere along the way
We may look back on today
And be sorry for the love
We've thrown away
CHORUS:
That's not the way we planned it
That's not the way we planned our love
I just don't understand it at all
Hey! Hey!
That's not the way we planned it
That's not the way we planned our love
I just don't understand it at all
Ooh...Hey! Hey!
That's not the way we planned it
That's not the way we planned our love
I just don't understand it at all
What makes our love grow old?
It’s just a love song And I will sing it all for you Just
a love song A simple melody for two But to me it sounds
just like a symphony And when the words have come and
gone My love will linger on for you Hope you’ll
understand how much you mean to me All the ways you’ve
brought me happiness Just to say it isn’t quite enough So
I’ll play it well And I hope you’ll see It’s just a love
song And I will sing it all for you Just a love song A
simple melody for two But to me it sounds just like a
symphony Just a love song Just a love song For you It’s
not easy for me baby I know it’s hard to understand I get
that feeling everytime I try to say I love you All the
feelings I have locked inside my soul All the magic you
bring out in me You’re my inspiration, my every dream So
listen well and I think you’ll know Just a love song Just
I thought when you walked over my
Way the world was so good (so good) again
But you passed me by, sad (sad) was I
'Cause you walked out of my reach, out of my heart
Out of my reach, out of my heart
And I was left with a life that was lonely from the start
Why did you look my way
It was just another dance
Why did you turn away
Hoo, baby, can I have a second chance
I thought when you walked over my
Way the world was so good (so good) again
And you caught my eyes, glad was I (glad was I)
'Cause you walked into my arms, into my heart
Into my heart, into my heart
Into my heart, into my heart
Into my heart, into my heart
Into my heart, into my heart...
Could it be better? (I don't know babe...)
Couldn't we just sit
Around the house here
And have us a little drink or two
CHORUS:
Gotta get away
Gonna have a groovy day
Spend some time with you
We're doin' just what comes naturally
Ain't it a great day (Huh...I don't know...)
Could it be better?
(Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, I don't know)
Whatever we do dear
There's one thing that's for sure
That nothing could be better
Than just being together
CHORUS:
Gotta get away
Gonna have a groovy day
Spend some time with you
We're doin' just what comes naturally
Gotta get away
Gonna have a groovy day
Spend some time with you
We're doin' just what comes naturally
Gotta get away
Gonna have a groovy day...
Gotta get away
Gonna have a groovy day
Gotta get away
Gonna have a groovy day
Gotta get away
Gonna have a groovy day
I'm making sure
Another late night drags on
Just one more drink
But you know I'm wrong
Sooner or later
When everyone's gone
You just shake your head
And take my hand
You seem to know what it takes me
Time to tell
But then you know me
Suprprises me how well
You make me an offer
That I can't refuse
Take my arm and walk away
{Chorus}:
Help me find my way home
Along this rocky road
'Cause I can't carry on
Will you head me to my bed
Ease my aching head
Take me where I belong
Sometimes you smile
At the clothes that I wear
You listen to reason
When I just don't care
It's bringing me down
Then I start to fall
You catch my heart
And I don't let it go
{Chorus}
As I see you lay your head
I'm glad it's next to mine, mine, whoa
{Chorus} [2x]
Take me home
CHORUS:
I can't let you pass me by
I just can't let you go
But I know that I am much too shy to let you know
Afraid that I might say the wrong words and displease you
Afraid for love to fade before it can come true
Like a child again
I'm at a loss for words
How does one define a crush combined with longing
Longing to possess you oh so dearly
I'm obsessed with you completely
I'll go mad if I can't have you
CHORUS:
I can't let you pass me by
I just can't let you go
But I know that I am much too shy to let you know
Afraid that I might say the wrong words and displease you
Afraid for love to fade before it can come true
I can't let you pass me by
I just can't let you go
Let me say the things and say the words to let you know
I would rather say the awkward words than lose you
Or for love to fade before it can come true
Afraid for love to fade before it can come true
My head's in a jam
You will always be A special part of me You will always be A special memory I'll always cherish wonderful moments you have given me You are in my heart Wherever I may be Wherever I may be All the times we've shared Will always be to me Songs my heart would sing With pleasing melody I'll put together all of your letters like a symphony I'll remember you Wherever I may be I'll put together all of your letters like a symphony I'll remember you Wherever I may be I'll remember you I'll remember you I'll remember you Wherever I may be Wherever I may be A special memory
Love conquers all
That's not hard to believe
If you find it naive
You'll believe it when you try
Take an empty heart
Fill it up with love
Offer it to someone new
When they think it's gone
Have them pass it on
They will have as much as you
Love is what you make it
How you give and take it
First time out just fake it
You don't have to be taught
Love conquers all
Makes the best of the worst
Nice guys coming in first
All around us
Love conquers all
And the love's not easy to hide
When you let it outside
It will bounce right back to you
Take an empty heart
Fill it up with love
Offer it to someone new
When they think it's gone
Have them pass it on
They will have as much as you
Love is what you make it
How you give and take it
First time out just fake it
You don't have to be taught
Love conquers all
Be insightful and receive
Take as much as you need
You deserve it (you deserve it baby)
Love conquers all
Could the West be won without love?
Love was there as a wagon
Look what happened to Dragon
Yes love can handle the beast
Wide and far
Love conquers all (All...)
Love conquers all (all...)
Love conquers all (all...)
Love conquers all (all...)
(All...all...all..all...all)
I never thought I would see the day
When I could throw all my sorrow away
But then you came and you showed me the way
You have made all those times disappear
CHORUS:
You changed my life in a moment
And I'll never be the same again
You changed my life in a moment
And it's hard for me to understand
With the touch of your hand in a moment in time
All my sorrow is gone (is gone...is gone...is gone...)
I never thought that I could change
Could change so much in so many ways
I'm still surprised when I look in my mirror
To see that I still look the same
CHORUS:
You changed my life in a moment
And I'll never be the same again
You changed my life in a moment
And it's hard for me to understand
With the touch of your hand in a moment in time
All my sorrow is gone
(You changed my life in a moment)
You changed my life
(And I'll never be the same again)
I'll never be the same
You changed my life in a moment
And it's hard for me to understand
With the touch of your hand in a moment in time
All my sorrow is gone
(You changed my life in a moment)
Gone...gone..
In a moment in time
I'd rather leave while I'm in love
While I still believe the meaning of the word
I'll keep my dreams and just pretend
That you and I were never gonna end
Too many times I've seen the rose die on the vine
And somebody's heart gets broken, usually it's mine
I don't wanna take the chance of being hurt again
And you and I can't say goodbye
So, if you wake and find me gone
Just carry on, you see, I need my fantasy
I still believe it's best to leave while I'm in love
Too many times I've seen the rose die on the vine
Somebody's heart gets broken, usually it's mine
I don't wanna take the chance of being hurt again
And you and I, we can't say goodbye
So, if you wake and find me gone
Hey, babe, carry on, you see, I need my fantasy
I still believe it's best to leave while I'm in love
I still believe it's best to leave while I'm in love
While I'm in love
While I'm in love
Sailing peacefully along
Always right with the world and me
Until love went wrong
CHORUS:
Just yesterday
I heard somebody say I'd forget you
If I could but I can't so I won't even try
If I had my way I'd forget you today in a minute
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye
Casually dressed,
I'm surviving I guess
I guess only the time will tell
It don't really matter where I go next
Just as long as it turns out well
Slow feet on a moving street
And the folks I meet all note (they all note)
I ain't half as happy (half as happy) as I was a week ago
CHORUS:
Just yesterday
I heard somebody say I'd forget you
If I could but I can't so I won't even try
If I had my way I'd forget you today in a minute
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye
Oh, yes
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye
Oh, right
A brand new town
And the world, the world at my fingertips
And nothing's standing in my way
Hold me down
Cause the wind, the wind is getting pretty strong
tonight
But hey ya, its ok
There's nothing like this back home
There's nothing like this...
A house with no yard
And another house on top of it
There's nothing like this back home
There's nothing like this...
Except that your not here
(Chorus)
Taxi, give me a ride to the nearest hotel
So I can unload my bags, listen for my yell!
I know you set this sort of things you can't tell
But I don't think I'll be along
I don't think I'll be along (2x)
A brand new day of waking up
And looking out my hotel window
At the passers-by below
I feel so free
I feel like I could do about just any thing
(Chorus 3x)
Blocks of buildings
Surround me
I can't quite explain
This music playing deep inside me
Such a sight after the rain
But you're not here
I wish you were, I wish you were(3x)
CHORUS:
Oh I love you L.A. (City of Angels)
Please don't go away (please don't go away)
Will you fall into the sea (will you fall into the sea)
And forsake me
City of Angels
You have falls in your land
People say you'll crumble
And your beauty will no longer stand
CHORUS:
Oh I love you L.A. (City of Angels)
Please don't go away (please don't go away)
Will you fall into the sea (will you fall into the sea)
And forsake me
(Oh please don't go...
Will you disappear from the Earth
Just like Atlantis did)
Each and every night I say a prayer
(For heaven to forbid)
I could never live without you
My salvation I would give to you
If you stay (if you stay)
Don't go away (please don't go away)
Your soft breeze through the palm trees
Whisper longing goodbyes
Vibrations say you're fading
As the tears nestle in my eyes
CHORUS:
Oh I love you L.A. (City of Angels)
Please don't go away (please don't go away)
Will you fall into the sea (will you fall into the sea)
And forsake me
Oh I love you L.A. (City of Angels)
Please don't go away (please don't go away)
Will you fall into the sea (will you fall into the sea)
And forsake me (please don't go away)
City of Angels...
City of Angels...
City of Angels...

Company! Life is
Company! Love is
The tree house that was built for us
Was a palace flat and roofless in the tallest tree our
dad could find
And we would play inside that fort
Neighborhood kids in their summer shorts
Letting our imaginations take over our minds
Please don’t grow up, is that a reasonable request
I guess being the legal drinking age will be the
ultimate test
But please don’t grow up at least not without me
But if you do, I’m coming too
To keep you company
Stuffed animals got dust in their eyes from sitting on
your shelf in a pile
I got a cloth to dust them off and renew their site
They told me everything they’d seen
The images of you and me
Wading in the ocean with the water to our knees
Well your shoes are so big
And my feet seem so tiny
You’re as tall as the clouds with their silver lining
I’m only as tall as the hills in our town so I can look
up to you
Please don’t grow up at least not without me
But if you do, I’m coming too
To keep you company
Some say our childhoods are packaged up like shipping
goods in boxes in the basement
And your room is now vacant
You made a home in San Diego
But I’m in good old San Francisco
We’re repping the blue and yellow state
But the golden gate city just ain’t as golden without
So please don’t grow up at least not without me
But if you do, I’m coming too
 "Pin It")
