Chicago, Chicago--that toddlin' town.
Chicago, Chicago--I will show you around. I love it.
Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago, Chicago.
The town that Billy Sunday couldn't shut down.
On State Street, that great street, I'd just want to say -
They do things they don't do on Broadway.
They have the time, the time of their life.
I saw a man, he danced with his wife.
In Chicago, Chicago, my home town.
Chicago, Chicago--that toddlin' town.
Chicago, Chicago--I'll show you around. I love it.
Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago, Chicago.
The town that Billy Sunday could not shut down.
On State Street that great street, I'd just like to say -
They do things that they never do on Broadway.
They have the time, the time of their life.
I saw a man, he danced with his wife.
In Chicago... Chicago... Chicago.
The seeds are planted here
But they won't grow
We won't have to say goodbye
If we all go
Maybe things will be better in Chicago
To leave all we've ever known
For a place we've never seen
Maybe things will be better in Chicago
Well it's braver to stay
Even braver to go
Wherever she goes I go
Maybe things will be better in Chicago
What we need the lord will give us
Courtesy of
All we want we carry with us
You know where I can be found
Where the rainbow hits the ground
I'm not alone
I'm not afraid
This bird has flown from his cage
There's so much magic we have known
On this sapphire we call home
With my coat and my hat
I say goodbye to all that
Maybe things will be better in Chicago
Maybe things will be better in Chicago
In Chicago, Chicago
Maitre D's will seat me
Knowing what I spend
They offend
So sad so sad
Smiling faces greet me
Everyone's my friend
They pretend
So sad so sad
They see I am happy
With my lady
They're not satisfied
All their feelings died
Something in this city
Changes people
Makes them devil-eyed
My love she waits for me
When I'm far away
Counting days
So sad so sad
They all know our story
Still they try to play
Anyway
So sad so sad
Flashing cars and money
Funny faces
Egos magnified
Quite Unjustified
Something in this City
Changes People
Makes them devil-eyed
All is well again
I think I'm gonna be alright
And I'm feeling better
Again
Loving you was sad
Affairs of timing that were bad
And the laughing ended
Again
There was a time
When I thought I was fooling myself
But now, I'll take a bow
'Cause I'm free and easy
Please won't you sing me
A thing that will bring me right into the sky
If you would play it
Just lay it down, say, it will help me get by
Something to move me
Remove me and grove me, you want to know why?
I'm so tired of oldies
And moldies and goldies, that I want to cry
Can you play free
Or in three or agree to attempt something new
The people need you
A seed that will lead to a hit by Varese
Tomorrow is teasing me.
Time seems to run away from the future.
But this could be that lucky day.
A dream is make believe until
blood, sweat, and tears turn pain to will.
It's gonna take some doing for me
to show them the way.
I'm gonna take the stone of Sisyphus
I'm gonna roll it back to you.
Building a wall of stone.
Sometimes you know what's right
Sometimes wrong is better than nothing.
They cast a stone so heavy to turn.
I believe in a love so true.
I believe you get what's coming to you.
We get so tired of living a dream
for some other day.
I'm gonna take the stone of Sisyphus
I'm gonna roll it back to you.
Wall of stone around the two of us.
That only angels can break through.
Looks like it's another of those long nights.
Will we always be alone?
Let's not stop before it's done.
I'm gonna take the stone of Sisyphus
I'm gonna roll it back to you.
I'll take the stone of Sisyphus.
Wall of stone round the two of us.
I'm gonna roll it back to you.
(I wasn't to sure on the lyrics...email em if you know em!)
In the middle, of a dream
thought I saw, sacred love supreme.
So beautiful, yet so obscene
but I'm not sure I'm sleeping.
And in a golden sun,
I saw Hitler ..... angels.
A little baby with a big .....
I saw Jesus kissing the Devil.
Gonna take some time for me to
Get on this, Get on this.
Gonna take an angel's kiss to
Get on this, Get on this.
When I go to sleep tonight,
I must remember to close my eyes.
Saw a mother,
take a needle.
Burning water,
drowning the pain.
A soft spot for a ....... .......
she had a baby that had no name.
They say a day will come
when a bright light shines all around you.
I thought .... ..... new millenium,
where only happiness will surround you.
Gonna take some time for me to,
Get on this, Get on this.
Gonna take an angel's kiss to
Get on This, get on this.
When I go to sleep tonight,
I must remember to close my eyes.
Since I .............
the world upside down,
Life is a ...........
Still the world.......
And in a full moon's sun,
I saw ........ making some ashes,
beside a bonfire of Babylon.
...................................
repeat chorus
They say into your early life romance came
And in this heart of yours burned a flame
A flame that flickered one day and died away
Then with disillusion deep in your eyes
You learned that fools in love soon grow wise
The years have changed you somehow
I see you now
Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow
Nonchalant, diamonds shining, dancing, dining
With some man in a restaurant
Is that all you really want?
No sophisticated lady, I know
You miss the love you lost long ago
And when nobody is nigh you cry
Is that all you really want?
No sophisticated lady, I know
You miss the heart you lost long ago
Call it a love song,
howl like a newborn.
Trying hard to stay warm.
..............
Edition to apocalypse,
Looking for the big hit,
..............
..............
Time after time,
I blow me away...
Sign on the streets now,
Running on the .... now.
Winter's here I believe it's here to stay.
I read somewhere that religion is for people
who want to stay out of hell.
I was praying for a sign or a vision or a message
til you been there you won't get well.
I was sitting in a room, I never recognized it
for the picture before my eyes.
I was sleeping in the middle of the bed again,
I'm not sure this qualifies.
Lost in a crosswalk,
battle on the half ....
Calling cause I can't talk,
trying til the fire caught up with me.
Flashing like a neon,
noisy as an A-bomb.
Looking to the beyond,
staring and laughing at eternity.
Time after time,
I blow me away,
Time on the street now.
Run like I pray now.
Winter's here I believe it's here to stay.
I read somewhere that religion is for people
who want to stay out of hell.
I was praying for a sign or a vision or a message
til you been there you won't get well.
I was sitting in a room,
I never recognized it for the picture before my eyes.
I was sleeping in the middle of the bed again,
I'm not sure this qualifies.
I read somewhere that religion is for people,
who swear they need to be saved.
I'm sleeping in the middle of the bed again,
you can trust me I will be brave.
A third floor walk-up...
One block east of Chinatown.
She walked by my window,
while the rain is pouring down.
Looking in she sees the easy money life everywhere
And it's clear she don't approve.
(And it's clear she don't approve)
Through a cloud of smoke I shoot a little smile over there.
and I .........
She don't Mah Jong, Mah Jong she don't play.
She don't Mah Jong, Wait she don't let me wait.
She don't Mah Jong, Mah Jong she don't play.
But she loves to play ....
With the dark eyes burning,
I am opening the wall.
Can there be no other chance?
I feel my fortune's turning,
and I wish for nothing else at all.
Looking up I see her signal with her fingers through her hair
telling me the hands are clean.
On the .......... I turn a dragon tail into a pair.
And the game is over.
She don't Mah Jong, Mah Jong she dont play.
She don't Mah Jong, wait she don't let me wait.
She don't Mah Jong, Mah Jong she don't play.
Though I don't obey her,
still she loves to play her
(repeat chorus)
A tree blows up
from where the lanterns light the parlors on the street
.... waiting at the .....
And though there are not many things a pawn would ....
I'll beat.
We enjoyed the difference.
She don't Mah Jong, Mah Jong she don't play
(out)
Say no more,
if you want to kiss goodnight,
that's alright by me.
Close your door,
make sure the latch is tight,
fall gently to sleep.
We don't have to rush ahead,
putting questions in your head,
and an ache in your heart,
Let's take a lifetime,
all that we desire,
build it day by day into forever.
Let's take a lifetime,
All that you require,
here and now and ever.
In these times,
love is not some harmless game,
it's played strictly for keeps.
No, It's no crime,
wanting me to feel the same,
with the water so deep.
Come tomorrow once again,
we'll be together until then,
we've dreaming to do.
Let's take a lifetime,
all that you desire.
build it day by day into forever
Let's take a lifetime,
all that you require.
Here and now and lasting ever more.
So hard to leave you standing there in the light,
you look so lovely.
If we must ....
No use tempting fate.
repeat chorus out.
Something I forgot that I used to know
keeps on coming back around.
Somewhere in the dark right before the dawn
like a light from down the hall.
Suddenly some old familiar music
songs I know I've never heard before.
I gotta play along I can't refuse it
I hear the call.
We've all been so proud of our blindness
no kindness to share
I used to cry for the lost
until I had to turn away.
Then I looked inside, past the fool,
and found some deeper words to say
to bring us together.
We can make it better
We can make it right.
We hide behind the veil of our own success,
while we're following the rules.
Our eyes refuse to see past our little hands
to the never changing truth.
Freedom needs to speak a little louder,
justice needs to try her other arm.
Some of us could push a little harder
to sound the alarm.
And I see children marching
And I hear the drums again
I used to cry for the lost
until I had to turn away.
Then I looked inside, past the fool,
and found some deeper words to say.
If we hope and pray,
it will come, give it half a chance.
Everyone, understand
in our hearts and our mind,
you know there's nothing left to hide,
we're already there.
I used to cry.
Cry for the lost I was walking away.
I used to try to find a reason.
Then I looked inside,
I used to mind everytime I was walking away,
I gotta find what I'm feeling
to bring us together.
repeat chorus
We rode the train,
from Paris to the cold Atlantic shore.
The winter rain
kept us in each others arms until the dawn,
do you remember?
Faster than the sun,
flying higher than everyone.
Like a dream too good to last,
I won't regret the past.
Here With Me,
deep down in my soul now and forever.
A candle for the dark, I need you
Here with Me,
A story with an unexpected end.
The morning plane,
through empty doors a mountain in the sky.
Golden chain, the autumn treetops cast
another light.
Do you remember?
We have no common ground,
Treasure lost will not be found.
We can blame our wild at heart,
from now until the start.
Here with Me,
Deep down in my soul now and forever,
A candle for the dark I need you,
Here With Me,
A story with an unexpected end.
Remember feelings I have known,
And chasing dreams I've never done,
We're losing let us walk away,
hold me in your arms before you go.
repeat chorus...
Everywhere I go you're here with me.
You ask me what I think,
I tell you you ignore it.
The reasons for it make me crazy.
You ask me what is right,
Huh, you never hear it.
You're never nowhere near it baby.
I spent my life believing,
It would not end this way.
All the Years we wasted
All the Years we tried
All the restless hours
All the times we cried.
You ask me what I want,
I got no answer.
I know I'm only dancing faster.
So now we're stuck with us,
with you and all your stories.
Who's the fool and who'd the liar.
I spent my life believing
it would not end this way.
All the years we Wasted
All the years we tried.
All the restless hours.
All the times we cried.
All the years we gambled.
All the years you lied.
All the hopeless dreamers.
All the dreams that died.
repeat chorus
Walkin' through time
Reachin' for yesterday
'Cause we're frightened of tomorrow
Trying to find
The feeling that's gone astray, far away
I remember the look in your eyes
Love we made unafraid
Now we've opened the window
So let's not close the shade
(Chorus)
Holdin' on
'Cause the memory of you
Is something I just can't erase
Holdin' on
I don't know what to do
'Cause the pieces won't fit into place
But no matter what happens
We can't let it end this way
So far away
So close to something new
But we're holdin' off tomorrow
Maybe someday
We'll find what we need to do, until then
We'll be doing the best that we can
Out of rhyme, out of time
While we're hiding our feelings
We're leaving love behind
(Chorus)
Far away
Reachin' for yesterday
So far away
Something has gone away
So afraid
To find what we had
(Chorus)
Why do we have to go and face the same routine
And the traffic jams and crowded street's a real
Neurotic scene
I don't know, why do we take it each day, yeah
Why does my girl tell me she's got to
Have her way
Out all night, come home to fight
What am I to say
I don't know, why do we take it each day
Life is what it is
Who wants to try not to believe
That's the way it is
Oh, oh
I don't know why what you feel inside
Days go on
Love is something that you just can't hide
If it's wrong
Then you'll want to know, you don't know why
I sing a song
And it helps me yet I'll get by
At times
Lost in time sometimes your mind unwinds
Sun does shine
But no pleasure from your beauty's mine
Like champagne wine
A bitter taste that's so refined
Life it's fine
You always pay for what's behind
Why do I have to go and face the same routine
And the traffic jams and crowded street's a real
Neurotic scene
I don't know, why do we take it each day, yeah
Life is what it is
Who wants to try not to believe
That's the way it is
Sing, sing, sing, sing
Everybody's got to sing
Stick with us we'll have a ball
Sing, sing, sing, sing
Everybody's got to sing
Stick around we'll have it all
Music brightens up the day
Now, if you like it we will stay
Sing, sing, sing, sing
Everybody's got to sing
Stars are a-glow,
And tonight, how their light sets me feeling!
My love, do you know,
That your eyes are like stars brightly beaming?
I bring you and sing you a moonlight serenade.
Let us stray till break of day, In love's valley of dreams
You and I, a summer sky, A heavenly breeze kisses the trees
So, don't make me wait
Come to me tenderly, in the June light.
I stand at your gate and I sing you a song in the moonlight
A love song, my darling, A moonlight serenade
Stars shining bright above you,
Night breezes seem to whisper, ";I love you";,
Birds singing in the sycamore tree,
";Dream A Little Dream Of Me";.
Just say ";goodnight"; and kiss me,
Oh, hold me tight and tell me you miss me;
While I'm alone and blue as can be,
Dream A Little Dream Of Me.
Stars fading, but I linger on, dear,
Still craving your kiss;
I'm longing to linger till dawn, my dear,
Just saying this:
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you,
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you,
But in your dreams whatever they be,
Dream A Little Dream Of Me.
Say ";nightie-night"; and kiss me,
Oh, hold me tight and tell me you miss me;
While I'm alone and blue as can be,
Dream A Little Dream Of Me.
Dream A little dream of you and me.
Always Been The Kind Of Girl To Hold It Back,
When You Know That You Want To;
Someone Always Had To Tell You Where It's At;
Now You Know That You Want To.
Somethin' In The Music's Gonna Make You Move.
Now You Know That You Want To;
The Rhythm's Gonna Put The Woman In The Mood,
Now You Definitely Want To.
In The Mood, In The Mood,
In The Groove, In The Mood;
You've Got Yourselves An Attitude.
In The Mood, In The Mood,
In The Groove, In The Mood;
Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
It's a long distance love affair
Tender are the moments that they rarely share
They hope their time will come someday
When together with the fraulein they'll steal away
It's the greatest love on earth
He's come from so far away to see
Is this his lifelong dream or just a fantasy
He's dying inside dying of frustration reaching out in hope
And he wants so hard to hide inside of her soul
'Cause that's what he needs to cope
It's the greatest love on earth
Her lovin' eyes are all he wants to see
And he knows that in her heart there lies his destiny
When she holds him in her arms he can feel the warmth
Of her gentle ways
And when she kissed him it was just like making music
That no one else will ever play
It's the greatest love on earth
He's come from so far away to see
Is this his lifelong dream or just a fantasy
It's the greatest love on earth
He's come from so far away to see
Is this his lifelong dream or just another fantasy
Take a chance dream a dream
Lay a bet down on me
I will see you with my heart
Raise you with honesty
All the love I share with you
Is too priceless to lose
For your loving I will gamble
And I'm gambling on you
All the odds are on our side
And I know you're worth it
Gonna take it
Go for it
Can I play, deal me in
I'm a man who likes to win
Though I can't foresee the future
With you I don't fear a thing
All the odds are on our side
And I know you're worth it gonna take it
Go for it
Flying so high
Feeling so low
Fill my empty heart
Don't say no
Can I get through this night, with some lovin' to show
Won't you show me the way to go--I don't know
Won't you open your eyes
I know you really care
You see these games you play
They're just not fair
After all the good times and secrets we've shared
Won't you show me the way to go--I don't know
I wanna take my place
I wanna take my place
I wanna take my place with the loved ones
Well I still can't see how things were meant to be
Love me even for one day I'll treat you like a lady
In my heart you'll stay forever you know
Won't you show me the way to go--I don't know
Marching into your heart
Marching into your heart
Remember when we were first falling in love
How we planned all the things we would do
Beautiful days and the nights all ablaze
Hoping our dreams would come true
Love was new
Rmember the house at the top of the hill
How the sunlight caressed all the trees
I played all my music I sang you my love
The chiming church bells rode the breeze
Love was new
Time has a way of obscuring our memories
And good times are hard to recall
Basic survival and day to day living
Leaves no time for romance at all
I just wanted to say I'm still falling in love
Every day with you, every day
Remember that Christmas with just a few friends
And the whole town was covered with snow
We laughed and we loved as we skied in the sun
It seems such a long time ago
Love was new
Something you said one night started me thinking
How sweet love is as it begins
Taken for granted it slips through your fingers
And leaves you on needles and pins
But there ain't no way baby that we'd let that happen
Our love will always be new
I just wanted to say I'm still faling in love
Every day with you,falling in love every day with you
Yesterday I would not have believed
That tomorrow the sun would shine
Then one day you came into my life
I am alive again I am alive again
All the empty yesterdays have disappeared
Now that you have filled my life with love
No one else could ever mean so much to me
Every day my high lasts longer
As our love grows ever stronger
Yesterday I would not have believed
That tomorrow the sun would shine
Then one day you came into my life
I am alive again I am alive again
When you gave your love to me you changed my life
Dreams that once seemd hopeless come with ease
Thank you girl for being just the way you are
I would never try to change you
All I live for is to love you
I'm feeling alive again
I'm feeling alive again
Oh what a lucky day
Things are going my way
Sun is arising mesmerizing everything I say
People all around this uptight town
Someone's gonna recoginze me
Ain't it time
Dues I've been paying for so long only making me stronger
Lady luck won't you please come to me I can't wait any longer
I spend all my time writing notes and rhyme
Tryin' to find new dimensions
Ain't it time
Time for movin' on
Time enough to grow
Time enough to find myself
Everything's okay
What a lucky day
Time enough to play my guitar
Competition everywhere is getting all of us down
I've been makin' all the rounds I feel like a train on the wrong track
Don't get lost 'cause you might get caught going out
The wrong door now
Ain't it time
Time for movin' on
Time enough to grow
Time enough to find myself
Everything's okay
What a lucky day
Time enough to play my guitar
I never know
What you're gonna do
You're always so far away
Down below
You used to tell the truth
Now you're lookin' for something to say
You give me those eyes
And then look away
Do you want me down on my knees
Are you livin' a lie
Is this some kind of game
Baby, won't you tell me please
Give me one good reason to stay
When you won't come
Right out and say
(Chorus)
Who do you love
What makes you happen
What do you need for satisfaction
Who do you love
I need an answer
Is it just about a good time, good time
Who do you love
I wish that you'd lie
Or tell me the truth
So I can decide for myself
Maybe you've tried
What we used to do
With somebody, somewhere else
Give me one good reason to stay
When you won't come
Right out and say
(Chorus)
All I do is think about you
I never did let go of what we were
Can't pretend I'll live without you
As I learn to live alone
Why can't I be a man about it
I've tried and tried to hide you from my heart
If I could just forget about us
If I knew just where to start
You're still my destiny
(Chorus)
What does it take
To win you back
To hold in these arms once more
What can I say
To make you understand
You're still all I'm waiting for
At times I feel it's best without you
And times I still believe in you so much
After what I've been through without you
You'd think that I'd move on
But you're still my destiny
(Chorus)
What does it take
'Cause we can't go back
Can't be like it was before
What does it take
To win you back
To hold in these arms
What does it take
What will it take now
You're still my destiny
(Chorus)
I'm movin' too fast, the pace of things has got to change
I never have time to think of words I want to say
I look around me, I don't know who really knows
What does it matter anyway?
Sometimes I feel like I've got a heart made out of stone
And somedays I feel so alone
When nobody sees what's going on anymore
If I could just know that someone's there
One from the heart that's all it takes
One to hold you, one who knows you
One to one together
One from the heart, one for each day
One to lean on, one to keep on
Keep on getting stronger the more I see your face
It's never too late to get to where I want to go
It's never too late to get to love someone
All that I need is to be more than yesterday
And all I can give along the way
One from the heart that's all it takes
One to hold you, one who knows you
One to one together
One from the heart, one for each day
One to lean on, one to keep on
The words you will remember
The words you'll hear me say
It's all about love
It's all about give and take
Many miles of memories
Many tears I can't forget
But I know you live inside me yet
Oh
Many hours to contemplate
Many dreams I can't recall
Many nights I've felt I was too small
Nothing more than a loser with a broken heart, yea
Nothing more than a loser with a broken heart, yea
It's a hard and bitter world
When you face reality
And it's hard to be who you want to be
Oh
Many miles of memories
Catch the wind and blow away
But I know that it's over, over anyway
Oh
But tonight I sit and wonder why
You left me here
After all this time I don't know why
You left me here
If it's all behind me
You know you'll find me
Oh
Nothing more than a loser with a broken heart, yea
Nothing more than a loser with a broken heart, oh yea
But tonight I sit and wonder why
You left me here
After all this time I wonder why
Wonder why
You left me here
If it's all behind me
You know you'll find me
Nothing more than a loser with a broken heart, yea
Nothing more than a loser with a broken heart, oh yea
I'm a loser
I'm a loser
I'm a loser
I'm a loser
Girl, when the moon across the water starts to rise
I'll be looking for tomorrow and I'll see it in your eyes
Girl, though the strongest heart'll shatter in a storm
Now we got this love that we can run to
Tonight, I'll keep you warm
(Chorus)
Man to woman
When you're lying next to me
Man to woman
Girl you're everything I need
Hold on, we'll always be
Always you and me
Hold me close
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've known
I can feel the fire that burns inside you
Look how this love has grown
(Chorus)
Man to woman (man to woman)
Man to woman (man to woman)
Just say we'll always be
Always you and me
I wanna hold you in the night
Can't you see
That I'm just livin' for your light
I want the world to know
I can't let you go
(Chorus)
Man to woman (man to woman)
Man to woman (man to woman)
I want the world to see
Baby what you mean to me
Smoke in the sky
Slime in the sea
Tall timber tumblin' down around me
Red acid rain
Glows in the night
Nuclear winter closes down on me
The light of the world is fading to black
And the absence of people who care
Is bringing me down, bringing me down
(Chorus)
God save the queen
Dear mother earth is dying away
Time's running out
One more tomorrow depends on today
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Greenhouse condition getting' steamier
Nobody's clean
Nobody's free
Nobody's breathin' any easier
The children of earth are dying each day
And the nightmare of who is to blame
Is bringing me down, bringing me down
(Chorus)
I understand there's no future for us here
Guess I fooled myself into thinking there was
Now you've made it clear
It'll never be right
Guess we knew it all along
Now we've got to say good-bye and I've got to be strong
So tell me one more time how it's better for the both of us
Tell me one more time how we'll hurt each other if we stay
Tell me one more time then darling there's just one more thing
Before you walk away
(Chorus)
Explain it to my heart
It's better that we're over now
Tell me one more time this is the way that it's supposed to be
Tell me that I'm better off without you
How it's better to forget about you
Darling I understand
Now won't you please explain it to my heart
Now if I try I can see the reasons why
Why we can't stay together and I might convince my mind
But it's breaking my heart to know I've got to let you go
To find that I must leave behind the only love I've known
Well I can tell myself that I never really needed you
I can tell myself that it's better just to say good-bye
I can tell myself a thousand lies
But tell me now
Tell me how do I
(Chorus)
Say that I'll be better
If we don't stay together
Say that I'll be better off free
But don't say it to me
Explain it to my heart...
Fireworks,
Fireflys,
On the roof watching summer night skies.
All the boys,
All the girls,
All the time making love with our eyes.
Life just went on for us
Day after day
We could fly!- Oh!
Cocky, so confident
There was no way we could die.
CHORUS:
Over, over and over again.
Life is a circle,
But it's over and over again.
Over, over.
Little words,
Little games,
The dramas we played, left behind.
Little friends,
Little names,
Puppy lovers we had...(love was blind).
Life just went on for us D
ay after day
Screaming by!- Oh!
Fast as a shooting star
Cruising the midnight sky!
CHORUS
Listen to the wind
Hear the voice inside you.
Something in the air,
Something you've been blind to.
People everywhere are dying to be free.
Time has come to live our lives in harmony.
CHORUS:
Give the children of the world one more day,
Give the children of the world, give them one more day.
Where do we begin?
When will freedom find us?
Bring the new day in
Free the chains that bind us.
People reaching out for just a little more.
Love is all we need to open up the door.
CHORUS
Now the future's up to you.
Take a stand and see things thru
For the children of tomorrow.
Give the world one more day,
Time enough to find a way
To start over a way to go on.
One more day
One more day
Give the children of the world
One more day
One more day
One more day
Give the children of tomorrow
One more day
Every day it seems we hear the same old story.
Every day there's lovers giving up on love.
People say it's just a fact of modern living.
All around us, people fall in love and marry.
Then we hear they're breaking up, and wonder why?
Did they mean it when they said it was forever?
All I know is what I feel.
CHORUS:
Forever
Is a long, long time.
Longer than we ever realize.
Forever
Is a long, long time.
I'm gonna love you the rest of my life.
Forever.
Every day I spend with you, I call it lucky,
Every night we touch and speak the words of love.
Did I mean it when I said it was forever?
All I know is what I feel.
CHORUS
I'm gonna love you the rest of my life
Forever
What has happened to our town
There's people sleeping on the ground
Cold and lost, they fear the night
Left alone, they'll lose the fight
Hadn't we better reach for more than just a dime
Shouldn't we try to talk that boy out of his crime
Haven't you had it knowing nothing's getting solved
Maybe we'd better, better get involved
Chorus:
We could stop the hurtin' for awhile
We could stop the hurtin' for awhile
If we found a way to reconcile
We could stop the hurtin'
Families livin' in their cars and kids run numbers out of bars
Knowing pride won't pay the bills, men work jobs beneath their skills
Hadn't we better hand out more than just a line
Shouldn't we try to find solutions with our minds
Haven't you had it knowing nothing's getting solved
Maybe we'd better, better get involved
Chorus
Do you love me
Do you need me
Tell me the truth tonight
Do you love me
Do you need me
Can I still call you mine
I've heard the same old story
So many times
For every lie you've told me
I'd be a righ man if I had a dime
Why do you take me
Why do you rake me
Over your red hot coals
Why do you scold me
After you hold me
Why do you turn so cold
The lad's constant cruisin'
Expains the tears
The lonely path she's choosin'
If I didn't love her would I still be here
Please hold on, stay with me
Tell me what you have in mind
Please hold on, stay with me
Baby, don't you leave me behind
Do you love me
Do you need me
Tell me the truth this time
Do you love me
Do you need me
Can I still call you mine
Soft lights and quiet music
Forgets your name
Some people try to use it
But loneliness chooses the rules to the game
Please hold on, stay with me
Tell me what you have in mind
Please hold on, stay with me
Baby, don't you leave me behind
Please hold on, stay with me
Loneliness will leave you blind
Please hold on, stay with me
Fall in love with me this time
Hold me forever
Whisper the words I've waited so long to hear
Love's sweet surrender
Steals an embrace and kisses away the tears
Lookin' back down the road of love
We can still feel the heartache
Pain and joy of an unrelenting love
Hold us together
Chorus:
Only you
You've got control
Only you
You've got the key to my heart
Only you
You've got control
Need your love, take me forever
Sad empty faces
Faded away when I fell in love with you
True love erases
Fear and the doubt not knowing we'd see things through
So in love, unaware of time
In a world of illusion
We fell in love until the end of time
True love, forever
Chorus
Lookin' back down the road of love
We can still feel the heartache
Pain and joy of an unrelenting love
Hold us together
Chorus
All we wanted was each other; nothin' more.
You were looking for an answer; you were out the door.
I didn't know what you were after. I knew you had to take a chance, girl.
Did you forget about the laughter? Say oh, oh no.
CHORUS:
Oo, what you're missing could have been yours from the start.
You won't listen when it's coming from the heart.
Now you're missing me.
You'll find that out when we're apart.
Had some crazy conversations. You know they seemed so right.
Remember how it used to keep us up all night?
I didn't know what you were after. Maybe there never was an answer.
Did you forget about the laughter? Say oh, oh no.
CHORUS
Lonely nights; empty days, use me up so many ways.
You came along and stole my heart away.
I just wanna hold you darlin', tonight,
knowin' that the love between us is right.
I can't believe that you'd ever let me go; oh, no.
CHORUS:
What can I say? What can I do? I'm so in love with you.
Got to be strong; but, for how long must I have this feeling?
Won't go away.
Take me back to yesterday, I just wanna fade away
Closer to you that what we used to be.
Are we really gonna let it die? Close the book and give it one more try.
I can't believe that you'd ever let me go; oh, no.
CHORUS
Used to think that you'd do anything for me.
I thought your heart was pounding at my door.
Now it seems that things aren't right.
You've been crying ev'ry night.
You're rainy season just ain't slowing down.
I still love you even though there's things you can't explain.
I don't want to know if you've been lying all along.
You've been running away. Now you've run out of places to hide.
I can no longer stand here waiting for you to decide
if there's a heart still left inside.
There's someone watching tonight.
You've been trying for some time to get away from me.
It's just the same old game you've tried before.
We've talked it out a thousand time. It's still the same old useless lines.
You've made your point now why can't I make mine?
I still love you even though there's things you can't explain.
I don't want to know if you've been lying all this time.
You've been running away. Now you've run out of places to hide.
I can no longer stand here waiting for you to decide
if there's a heart still left inside.
You can't get away. There's someone watching tonight.
After he hurt you, you said you were leaving; you got up to walk out the door.
The story he's telling you, you weren't believin'; you've certainly
heard it before.
And I can't stand it, you're feeling so sad. I can't take it, it's makin'
me mad.
Say the word and I will rescue you. (Say the word, say the word)
Say the word and I will come to rescue you.
I could be wrong, but unless I'm mistaken, it's only a matter of time.
And I know you're giving him more than you've taken; you've come to the end of
the line.
And I can't stand it, you're feeling so sad. I can't take it, it's makin' me
mad.
Say the word and I will rescue you. (Say the word, say the word)
Say the word and I will come to rescue you. (Say the word, say the word)
Something missing in your life; tell you what I say; blues are on the run and
help is on the way.
Something missing in your life; tell you what I'll do.
Just like in a fairy tale, I'll rescue you. I'm gonna rescue you.
I just can't take it when your feeling so sad.
I can't take it, it's making me mad.
Something missing in your life; tell you what I say; blues are on the run and
help is on the way.
Something missing in your life; tell you what I'll do.
Just like in a fairy tale, I'll rescue you. I'm gonna rescue you.
Say the word and I will rescue you. (Say the word, say the word)
Say the word and I will come to rescue you. (You know that help is on the way)
She said, ";It's lonely here tonight."; She's always sad when she's alone.
She said, ";I need you here tonight."; She couldn't wait 'til I get home.
She loves me, and that's all I need to know.
She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go.
Then she said,
";Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me? Love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow; hurry back. Can't you see I need you much more than
yesterday?";
You know it's always cold at night; it's always lonely 'til the dawn.
And though it's not what we both want, knowing she's there, I'll carry on.
Because she loves me, and that's all I need to know.
She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go.
Then she said,
";Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me? Love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow; hurry back. Can't you see I need you more than any words can
say?";
She loves me, and that's all I need to know.
She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go.
Then she said,
";Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me? Love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow; hurry back. Can't you see I need you much more than
yesterday?";
Love me tomorrow; love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow; I need you much more than yesterday
";Everybody needs a little time away,"; I heard her say, ";from each other.";
";Even lover's need a holiday far away from each other.";
Hold me now. It's hard for me to say I'm sorry. I just want you to stay.
After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to.
And after all that's been said and done,
You're just the part of me I can't let go.
Couldn't stand to be kept away just for the day from your body.
Wouldn't wanna be swept away, far away from the one that I love.
Hold me now. It's hard for me to say I'm sorry. I just want you to know.
Hold me now. I really want to tell you I'm sorry. I could never let you go.
After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to.
And after all that's been said and done,
You're just the part of me I can't let go.
After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to.
You're gonna be the lucky one.
When we get there gonna jump in the air.
No one'll see us 'cause there's nobody there.
After all, you know we really don't care.
Hold on. I'm gonna take you there.
One shoe on; one shoe off.
Nothin' in life is decideable; wouldn't you know.
Nothing's supposed to be easy.
Take one day at a time. Ain't no need to hurry.
Realize where you are, and where you're going to.
CHORUS:
Follow me, ain't no need to go on all by yourself.
Follow me; don't need nobody else.
Follow me; and together we'll build a better life.
Follow me.
One more time; toe the line;
Nothing in life is impossible. Both of us know
Life is as good as we make it.
Dark reflections of the past
Drown in our tomorrows.
Time to laugh; time to love;
Time to live again.
CHORUS
Time to laugh; time to live again.
I don't want any trouble. I don't want to make any waves.
I don't want any conscience. And I don't wanna be brave.
I've kept my distance. My feelings have never been shown.
I know that I've been walking fences,
Denied what I have known.
I carry chains. (I carry chains.)
Heavy, heavy chains. (Chains that are made.)
I carry chains (I carry chains) 'round my feet.
I feel the weight (I feel the weight.)
Chains are the different things that should not be hanging on me.
I put my conscience under a stone, the stone under the ground.
Walked from where I had left it. I hoped it couldn't be found.
My conscience persisted. It's a haunted seed I have sown.
Calls me out from the distance
And it just won't leave me alone.
I carry chains. (I carry chains.)
Chains that are made. (Chains that are made.)
I carry heavy chains. (I carry chains.)
Talk about the weight. (I feel the weight.)
Chains are the temporary things that should not be hanging on me.
Six sets smoked on Saturdays
At Barnaby's on State
Countless California calls
We could not stand the wait
We played the pier on Venice beach
The crowd called out for more
Zappa and the Mothers next
We finished with a roar
Jimi was so kind to us
Had us on the tour
We got some education
Like we never got before
Around the world in twenty days
We played most every night
Jet-lag, girls, strange languages
Everyone began to fight
Lowdown at the Caribou
All rumours aside
Was we could never get together
Not unless we tried
Summer with the Beach Boys
We got sand all in our shoes
Made some special music
Everybody sang the blues
You'll never lose me to temptation.
Fighting the devil and I beat the dragon too.
I'm at your rescue; I'm your faithful one,
if it's the last thing that I ever mean to do.
I'm in deeper than you could know.
The wise in me won't let it go.
You can count on me, guarantee.
I stand up, I stand up,
believe in myself.
(If you love somebody, stand.)
I stand up, I stand up,
give me a little respect.
(If you need somebody, stand.)
Out of the shadow, yet I'm alright.
It's not as easy as I know it used to be.
I don't have time to look behind me.
I know the truth and it's the truth that set me free.
One more heart to heart to live for;
one more time to stop the war,
inside of me; in spite of me.
I stand up, I stand up,
believe in myself
(If you love somebody, stand.)
I stand up, I stand up,
give me a little respect.
(If you need somebody, stand.)
[Chorus repeats.]
Only you can touch me with your dark eyes
with a look that burns like fire through the lonely night.
Sometimes I run, but I can never hide
from the pieces of my heart that fall like rain from the sky.
When you hear the thunder,
when you hear the sound of a mountain crashing down,
it's just my heart in pieces.
When I feel the hunger,
when I'm reaching out with a hundred thousand hands,
it's my heart in pieces.
No one cuts through my soul like you can.
I'm naked to the bone beside your empty hand.
I see your face and I remember.
I'm a prisoner of your fate,
I'm a loser in the race.
When you hear the thunder,
when you hear the sounds of a mountain crashing down,
it's just my heart in pieces.
When I feel the hunger,
when I'm reaching out with a hundred thousand hands,
it's my heart in pieces.
I walk the fine line
between fire and the ice.
The memory lives on.
There's always something to remind me.
Every teardrop falling
when your voice keeps calling.
[chorus repeats until fade.]
How many times have I seen you running;
just one step ahead of the past?
So many nights have I seen it coming;
I try to talk to you when you pass.
I don't know who you were before I met you;
you keep your secret safe with a mask.
It's almost as though the truth is out to get you;
you're just a runaway from the past.
Girl, we've got a love worth keeping.
Maybe there's a way to let it go.
Someday when your demons are sleeping,
let me know, let me know.
Come out of the darkness, baby,
come in from the night.
You can let the light
wash it from your mind.
Open the blinds.
So many times have I seen you crying,
never knowing what it's about.
I do my best, I just keep on trying
to find a way inside to let it out.
Girl, we've got a love worth making.
It would be a shame to close the show.
Now you got a chance worth taking,
let me know, let me know.
Come out of the darkness, baby,
come in from the night.
You can let the light
wash it from your mind.
Come out of the darkness, baby,
come in from the night.
Open up your life,
leave the past behind.
Open up the blinds.
I recall the look in your eyes, and the way that I felt
When I heard you say,
";Where did the loving go?";
Funny how it all slipped away.
I remember all that we had, 'cause our love was so right,
And so very strong.
I would give anything,
Knowing where we might have gone wrong.
Something's coming over me now,
Something that I don't understand,
But I would give all the world if I could have you back again.
I want to make it perfectly clear,
I'm never gonna make it from here.
I can only say that I love you, woh.
I recall the moment you said,
";It doesn't work anymore,
And it's come to the end.";
I would do anything just to see you again.
I remember all that we had,
And it's so very sad
When there's nothing to say.
(Background:) Gonna say,
Where did the lovin' go?
Funny how it all slipped away.
All alone on the road near the other side of town
In the dark of the night and the rain was fallin' down
Up ahead, said a sign, was the Overnight Cafe
Maybe one for the road just to pass the night away
Then she came in the room and she moved across the floor
With the look of a woman who's been through it all before
Then she smiled as she spoke and it made me realize
That the time was right and the love was in her eyes
That the time was right and the love was in her eyes
Then she asked and I told her that I was due in town
Hey mama, can you tell me what's on your mind?
Then she told me that she'd like to see me hang around
And maybe I could take her home
Never know what could happen when we're both alone
Now I'm back on the road and I'm running overtime
Turn around if I could and you know it crossed my mind
But I know I'll be back 'cause she made me realize
That the time was right and the love was in her eyes
I'd rather be rich, it sounds a little funny;
If diggin' a ditch would earn me lots of money,
I'd dig like a fool in the land of milk and honey;
Where everything's cool, provided you have money, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'd rather be rich, just short of being greedy;
I'm eager to switch, to hell with being needy.
I'd rather be rich, the truth of cash is tragic,
The system's a bitch, but money works like magic, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Money makes the world go round;
Buy and sell it by the pound;
Bitter truth that I have found:
Food to eat, shoes on your feet,
Maybe some heat, you live with defeat.
Bridge:
Money gets you justice, money sets you free,
Money makes it possible to be or not to be.
Money is the power, money is the key,
Sad and so unfortunate, but real as it can be, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'd rather be rich, than what the other choice is;
My thumb out to hitch, or riding in Rolls Royces;
'Cause I ain't no fool in the land of milk and honey;
Where everything's cool until you lose your money.
Why, why, why won't you sympathize
And tell me where you're coming from?
My, my, my, don't you realize
We're not lovin' when there's something wrong?
Come here mama, let me make it right,
I know that we can work it out;
But no sense talkin' 'bout a love gone bad,
(Chorus:)
You got to hold on, hold on baby;
Hold on, hold on babe;
You got to hold on, hold on babe;
You got to hold on.
Why, why is it always something new?
Baby, I'm just dyin' to please.
Cry, cry, cry when you're singin' the blues;
I'm just bringin' my sympathies.
Hey, little mama won't you change your mind?
Don't go running away.
Please come home where you know you belong,
(Bridges:)
You know when the feeling gets you,
It's gonna get you;
And I know where it's gonna get you;
Right there in the back of your mind;
And I know when the feeling gets you,
I won't forget you;
Yes, you know that I won't forget you;
Got too much on my mind.
And I know when the feeling hits you,
It's gonna hit you;
Yes I know where it's gonna hit you;
Right there in the back of your mind.
And I Know when the feeling hits you,
I'll never quit you;
Yes, you know that I'll never quit you;
Got too much on the line,
La la la la la la la.
You got to hold on, hold on, baby;
Hold on, hold on, baby;
Got to hold on, hold on baby . . . . .
Lookin' out by my window,
Thinking 'bout you all the time,
Wish you were here with me
Right here by my side,
'Cause I'm window, window dreamin'
'Cause I'm window, window dreamin'
Every time I find myself on the road
Miss you holdin' me tight
Flop down in my easy chair,
Makes me feel alright
'Cause I'm window, window dreamin'
'Cause I'm window, window dreamin'
(Bridge)
Gigs are fun, when they're done,
Feel so down, act like a clown,
Company's great, but when it's late,
I'm lookin' for the phone
I feel so alone--so alone
Knowin' the way we both feel,
O know you're always gonna be my friend
Dig, your face, Lord, it's real
Someday I'm never gonna go again,
'Cause I'm window, window dreamin'
'Cause I'm window, window dreamin'
(Bridge)
Gigs are fun, when they're done,
Feel so down, act like a clown,
Company's great, but when it's late,
I'm lookin' for the phone
I feel so alone--
So all alone
I'll never forget those aimless years
Street sounds swirling through my mind
Trouble was often in the air
So we fought to forget our despair
I'm a street player
And I'll play you a song
'Cause you know, my heart & soul
Will carry, carry on
Carry on
Carry on
Carry on
City life's the only way
Street corners and billiard halls was our home away
Lessons learned still help me today
I'm a street player
I've seen it all
Hitmen, thieves and many a brawl
But as you see I still stand tall
It was such a small space in time
I never knew that I would find
A musical path for all to see
Anxiety into ecstacy
I'm a street player
I'm a street player
I'm a street player
I'm a street player
I'm a street player
I've seen it all
Hitmen, thieves and many a brawl
But as you see I still stand tall
It was such a small space in time
I never knew that I would find
A musical path for all to see
Anxiety into ecstacy
I'm a street player
I'm a street player
I'm a street player
I'm a street player
Run away
Leave all your worries behind you
Run away
Run for your life never turn back
Run away
Run from the wrong that surrounds you
Run away
Run like a fool and you just might make it
(Chorus)
And soon you will be
Right ware you wanna be
Free to live the way you want to
And soon you will find
Just what you're lookin' for
All the good times you never, never knew
Run away
Follow the voice deep inside you
Run away
Follow the sun, find a new life
Run away
Run from the lies that destroy you
Run away
Run like a fool and you just might make it
(Chorus II)
And soon you will be
Right ware you wanna be
Free to live the way you want to
And soon, I said soon, you will find
Just what you're lookin' for
All the good times you never, never knew
Run away
Run away
Run away
Run away
Run away
Run away
She's fine, so fine
And I think I'm going to lose my mind
So high, so high,
You know you make me want to
Scream and shout
Well, you know I'm like a fool
Who's just got to have a reason
You know that I've found mine
Must have been crazy
Must have been crazy, yeah
Must have been crazy
To have done this so long
This time, it's time
Every singer's got to sing his song
So fine, it's fine
You know you make me want to
Sing along
'Cause you know I'm not a fool
Got to find a piece of heaven
You know that I found mine
Must have been crazy
Must have been crazy, yeah
Must have been crazy
To have done this so long
'Cause you know I'm not a fool
Got to find a piece of heaven
You know that I found mine
Must have been crazy
Must have been crazy, yeah
Must have been crazy
To have done this so long
On the road
But I won't be gone too long
Babe, I'm leavin' you tomorrow
On my way
And you know you make me strong
I'll be thinking 'bout you
all night long
(Chorus)
Mama take just a little bit
Mama take just a little bit
Mama take just a little bit from my heart
Mama shake just a little bit
Mama brake just a little bit
Mama take just a little bit from my heart
All alone
And, I'm feelin' down today
Won't let nothin' come between us
Say the words
And the words are meant to say
I'll be thinkin' about you everyday
Mama take just a little bit
Mama take just a little bit
Mama take just a little bit from my heart, oh, oh
Mama shake just a little bit
Mama brake just a little bit
Mama take just a little bit from my heart
From my heart
I believe that we belong beyond a doubt
If we have a change of heart
We can always change our mind
And I know we'll work it out
I can see that it's the only way to go
It's the only chance I get
It's the only way you'll know
That I love to love you
Mighty love
Gettin' hard to find today
I believe in you forever
Say thhe words
And the words are meant to say
I'll be thinkin' about you everyday
(Repeat Chorus)
Night And Day, you are the one;
Only you beneath the moon, under the sun.
Whether near to me or far,
It's no matter darlin', where you are;
I think of you, Night And Day.
Night And Day, why's it so,
That this longing for you, follows wherever I go.
In the roaring traffic's boom;
In the silence of my lonely room;
I think of you, Night And Day.
Night and Day, under the hide of me,
There's an old, such a hungry yearning, burning inside of me;
And this torment won't be through,
Till you let me spend my life making love to you;
Day and Night, Night and Day
I've been trapped in the madness,
from the shadows of sadness
I laugh it away.
I've been blind to the passion
while the whole world is flashing
I stash it away.
While I'm singing of Freedom,
I'm trying to sell
what I never had.
Hoping I'll be released from my own kind of hell
cause I lost the key to my past.
The show must go on.
It seems like there's something I'm leaving behind.
The show must go on.
Cause the dreams that I'm having,
I'm having all the time.
The show must go on.
There will be no confessions,
Cause I'd only be guessing just where to begin.
There's only one thing I'm knowing
this feeling ain't blowing
away with the wind.
And I'm tired of turning my back on myself
throwing truth away.
Let the fire burn down the front door to myself
and give me a season of play.
The show must go on,
I just keep pretending to live for the game.
The show must go on.
I just keep on bending the rules to fit the pain.
It's time for collecting
what I've been neglecting.
It's gonna be a little strange.
Cause one day I'll be gone,
and I'll be back in time(town?).
Nothing's gonna, nothing's gonna
be the same.
The show must go on,
and I just keep pretending to live for your game,
The show must go on,
I just keep on bending the rules to fit the pain.
Put on the face,
win every race,
I'm just so strong can't you see,
and I keep up the pace,
I won't leave a trace.
of .........................
still going on, still going on.
The show must go on,
The show must go on.

Aloha mama don't go away
Aloha mama I want you to stay
Aloha mama won't you treat me right
I need you tender woman won't you hold me tight
Surfridin' sister I wanna taste your love
Le's make it in the garden beneath the stars above
Aloha mama don't go away
Aloha mama I want you to stay
Aloha mama have you got the cure
My heart's all broken and I feel unsure
Surfridin' sister I got to fly away
I'll be back in September that's the price I pay
Aloha mama don't go away
Aloha mama I want you to stay
Can't you feel the tradewinds blowin'
There's a look in your eyes you're goin'
Don't leave me now I'm a hurtin'
If you'd look in my eyes you'd see hunger arise
Can't you feel all these years I've been cryin' these years
Aloha mama don't go away
Aloha mama I want you to stay
Aloha mama don't make me cry
Aloha mama you know I'l die
Aloha mama don't go away
Aloha mama I want you to stay
Vote for me, vote for me
I want the nomination for the Presidency
Vote for me, vote for me
If I am elected, this is how it will be
I'll cut your tax in half
I'll make the Russians laugh
I'll feed the hungry people everywhere
I'll bring the railroads back
New trains and new track
From Waikiki to old Deleware
Vote for me, vote for me
I want the nomination for the Presidency
Vote for me, vote for me
If I am elected, this is how it will be
I'll give Detroit one year
New cars that run on beer
Or anything except gasoline
I'm looking to the sun
More power for everyone
And the cleanest sky that you've ever seen
I'm not going to kid you, there's a lot to do
Little can I promise, it's really up to you
But if we all work together
And I think we can
And if you want some new ideas
Then I'm your man
Vote for me, vote for me
I want the nomination for the Presidency
Vote for me, vote for me
If I am elected, this is how it will be
I'll work for global peace
And the sweet release
Of the love and human kindness in us all
I would give all I've got
You just give me a shot
Somehow, I know that I can win the fall
Walkin' through the fog on a cold and cloudy night
Lookin' through the smog that surrounds the mornin' light
The shades of brown. It gets me down, exactly like my life
I don't deserve the hand I'm dealt, a flush in spades of strife
I've grown tired of speeches that are nothing but a bore
So I'm rounding up the broken me and headin' on out the door
Without no lag I'm packin' my bag of discontented frowns
And hopping numer eighty-six, the first train that is freedom bound
Got my bag of many frowns and I'm takin' it on uptown
Big city lights
Funkier nights
Happier days
Goin' my way
It should be right
But I'm still uptight
Hey, I better put down
And get movin' on
I'm through with aggravation
Don't deserve the degradation
I'm putting all the negatives down
To hop the train that's feedom bound for uptown
Got my bag of many frowns and I'm takin' it on uptown
This time I've found a love to treasure
One that's impossible to measure
The future looks bright, the moment feels so right
Just being near you brings me pleasure
This time the both of us can see
How we can love and still feel free
You came into sight, I saw a whole new light
I found out what happiness can be
'Cause baby
I'd given up
Ever finding
Someone
To share my life
Forever
This time we'll make it
Baby, we see
Nothing can take it from you and me
This time I feel it, like never before
Each day I love you more
This time our search for love has ended
All of our goals in life have blended
And baby tonight, I'll love your body, make you feel right
We'll see all our troubles can all be mended
This time we'll make it
Baby, we see
Nothing can take it from you and me
This time I feel it, like never before
Each day I love you more and more
[Instrumental]
Lying here as the morning light shines in
Can't believe the reflections from within
To look at your face takes me to a place
That reminds me of the lovely lady I once loved
I've got a smile
That I put on
When I'm not at home
When I'm not alone
But it is so hard
To make that smile
'Cause I know I'll be at home
And alone in a while
And if I look in a mirror
I see my eyes start to tear
I can't help but cry
Since you said goodbye
I've got to hide
Whhat I'm feelin' inside
Can't let them see
How you're hurtin' me
So I guess that's what I'll do
Won't let them see through
Won't let them know
That you could hurt me so
I've got a laugh
That I put on
When I'm not at home
When I'm not alone
But it is so hard
To fake that laugh
When my insides are cryin'
And my heart's torn in half
And all the music I hear
And things I valued so dear
Make me feel so blue
They all remind me of you
(Now) What can I do
(Now) That our love is through
And my purpose is gone
Still I got to live on
I guess that's what I'll do
I won't let them see through
I won't let them know
That you could hurt me so
Little one it's so nice to have you near me
To feel once again the love you bring here
Oh my little one, I am sorry for the pain you've felt
Say the word and daddy will make it disappear
Oh my little one
Bring your love here
Little one
I need you near
Little one
Don't live in fear of the future
'Cause I will always be there
Oh my little one
Music is my life, I hope you understand
Travelling on the road with me you can see the way we live
Oh my little one
I will always cherish these days with you
As time goes by I hope you see the love I tried to give
Oh my little one
Let your love flow
My little one
Like a flower you'll grow
Someday you'll have your own little one
And you will always be there
Little one, it's so nice to have you near me
To feel once again the love you bring here
Oh my little one, I am sorry for the pain you've felt
Say the word and daddy will make it disappear
Oh my little one
Bring your love here
Little one
I need you near me
Little one
Don't live in fear of the future
'Cause I will always be there
Oh my little one
Let your love flow
My little one
Like a flower you'll grow
Someday you'll have your own little one
And you will always be there
My little one...
You get it up
You get it up
You get me feeling so hot
Mama, I'm your buttercup
I'm blowing up
I'm blowing up
I'm getting hotter and I
Don't know if I'll ever stop
Baby
Baby baby baby
You get it up
You get it up
You are on my mind
The echo of your laughter flowing through me
Sitting by a mountain fire
And wishing you were in my arms
And loving me completely
Rocky mountain highs are very nice
But you are gone and nothing's quite the same
L.A. is so far away and I can't
Stand another day
Without you by my side
Though I've tried, tried, tried
You are on my mind
You are everything a woman could be
Consequently I believe that no one
Else could take your place if you
Should ever leave me
I'll be coming home again to you
And look upon the woman that I love
There is nothing I can say that celebrates
The special way you keep me satisfied
Pretty girl
(break)
Feeling just a little lonely
Wishing you were in my arms
Yeah...
You are on my mind
The echo of your laughter flowing through me
Sitting by a mountain fire
And wishing you were in my arms
And loving me completely
Rocky mountain highs are very nice
But you are gone and nothing's quite the same
L.A. is so far away and I can't
Stand another day
Without you by my side
Keep the fires burning
Keep the fires burning on
Keep the fires burning on
Keep the fires burning on
Keep the fires burning on
Now I lay me down to sleep
And dream of my treasure map
It shows me the place my maypole's buried at
And I dream of all the fun I have
When my maypole comes out to play
Yeah, and I dream things I can't say
Or I'll get put away
So now, I better stop
Before I give them all away
Right before my very eyes
I thought that you were only fakin' it
And like before my heart was takin' it.
Baby what a big surprise
Right before my very eyes.
Yesterday it seemed to me
My life was nothing more than wasted time
But here today you've softly changed my mind.
Baby what a big surprise
Right before my very eyes.
Just to be alone
Was a little more than I could take
Then you came to stay
Hold me in the morning
Love me in the afternoon
Help me find my way
Now and then just like before
I think about thhe love I've thrown away
But now it doesn't matter anyway
The lonely days I spend away from you
Sometimes seem like they will never end
But then I picture the glow of your smiling face
And I can make it through the lonely days
And nights until I'm
Home
With you
Where we
Can see
And feel
Our love
Together again
My friend
The lonely nights I spend away from you
Are filled with memories of your dancing eyes
I feel I can make it through another day
Knowing that you'll be waiting to kiss me
Tenderly when I get
Home
With you
Where we
Can see
And feel
Our love
Together again
My friend
Together again
My friend
Together again
My friend
Together again
Together again
My friend
Skin tight
Fits me like a glove
Your love is
Skin tight
Yes indeed it is
Your love is
Alright
Anytime of day or night
Is alright
Skin tight
Skin tight
Fits me like a glove
Your love is skin tight
Only you can keep me going
All night
Love me till the cows come home
It's alright
Skin tight
Skin tight
Fits me like a glove
Your love is
Skin tight
Yes indeed it is
Your love is
Alright
Any time of day or night
Is alright
Skin tight
I can feel the magic
Suddenly it's all around
I can see it clearly
I can even hear the sound
It's all so new to me
I'm not the same
If this is love
Then you're to blame
Mama mama when you look at me
I see love in your eyes
Mama mama softly sweet tender love in your eyes
You are all I live for
Maybe that's enough to say
And you're the one I wrote this song for
Everywhere and everyway
It's all so new to me
I'm not the same
It's words I feel
But can't explain
Mama mama when you look at me
I see love in your eyes
Mama mama softly sweet tender love in your eyes
Mama mama, mama mama
I really love you
I really need you
Mama mama, mama mama
I really need you mama
I really love you mama
Here I go again
Why does the ghost of love still haunt me
It's all been cried about before
It's all been cried about before
Yes, it's all been cried about before
Still it's everywhere
Is it crying to be heard
Don't you think you've had your say
Don't you think you've had your say
Yes, don't you think you've seen your day
I don't know
No I don't
Don't I know
No I don't
I don't know
Not knowing if it's love
Is better than no thoughts of love at all
But it's been cried about before
I guess I'll cry for it some more
It's just the hope for love once more
It's just the hope for love once more
Come to me, baby mine
And I'll make love to you
Just when the sun begins to shine
On the morning dew
I've been gone, far away
The days they seemed like years
Right by your side I'm gonna stay
Kiss away your tears
Gently I'll wake you
I won't hardly shake you
Gently I'll wake you
I won't hardly shake you
And I'll make sweet love to you
Hold me tight, don't let go
We'll dream the whole day through
I missed you more than you could know
I love only you
Come to me, baby mine
And I'll make love to you
Just when the sun begins to shine
On the morning dew
Gently I'll wake you
I won't hardly shake you
Gently I'll wake you
I won't hardly shake you
And I'll make sweet love to you
I want to share the love that fills my being
If you're willing
Come along
Take of me this evening and this love
If you're lonely
Come let's be
There's no time for shyness
How fast night turns to day
Let's just light love's fire
And lay embraced till it burns away
We'll kiss goodbye and journey on to new loves
Keep our love
Till we meet again
Pulling myself out of a dead sleep
With the impression of the dream still fresh in my mind
Before I'm even awake, the words, the music were complete
I woke up that mornin'
Feelin' so rested and young
My mind was clear of all the problems
That been hasslin' my head
I couldn't quite understand why
I felt so fine
I felt so free
So beyond it all
As I turned towards the bed
I understood as it all came clear
As I turned towards the bed
I understood as it all came clear
I saw myself lyin' there
Didn't have a care
Piece of mind was finally mine
Now free to fly
Into the blue sky
Oh great spirit
Fly away
Oh great spirit
Just fly
Fly
Oh fly away
Dream, dream, dream
Dreams in the night
Take me back to you
The day comes
With it's friend
The morning blues again
Old days, good times I remember
Fun days filled with simple pleasures
Drive-in movies, comic books and blue jeans
Howdy doody, baseball cards and birthdays
Take me back to a world gone away
Memories seem like yesterday
Oh, old days, good times I remember
Gold days, days I'll always treasure
Funny faces full of love and laughter
Funny places, summer nights and streetcars
Take me back to a world gone away
Boyhood memories seem like yesterday
(Old days)
In my mind and in my heart to stay
(Old days)
Darkened dreams of good times gone away
(Old days)
Days of love and feeling fancy free
(Old days)
Days of magic still so close to me
(Old days)
In my mind and in my heart to stay
(Old days)
Darkened dreams of good times gone away
(Old days)
Days of love and feeling fancy free
(Old days)
I've never been in love before
Not like this you taught me more
Hung out by myself
Well I lived upon a shelf
And cried 'cause I thought I could not give
My pride would not let me live
All my feelings disappeared
You are lovely reason I
Am alive you satisfy
All my senses and you give
Me the confidence to grow
In a thousand different ways
Happy just to spend the days
Of my lifetime by your side
I want to be
Everything that I can
I want so much
To be more of a man
I want to grow
I want to know you better
Each day I'll try
To love you
'Cause I've never been in love before
You have a friend for life in me
If we ever disagree
And you have to go away
I will set you free with joy
'Cause your happiness is mine
May our light forever shine
May you always feel free
I want to be
Everything that I can
I want so much
To be more of a man
I want to live
I want to give my lifetime
Each day I'll try
To love you
'Cause I've never been in love before
You know I got to go
Got to find a place
Get away from the human race
Find a place where the air is clear
On a sunny day, sunny day
I got to find a hideaway, hideaway
Hideaway, hideaway
Hideaway, hideaway, yeah, yeah
You know I got to leave
Got to find a place, any place
Get away from the city pace, city pace
I got to move out where the air is fresh and clear
On a sunny day, sunny day
[Instrumental]
Anyway you want to be
It's alright with me
Anything you want
It's alright with me
Know that I love you
Know that I need you
Anyway you want
It's alright with me
Baby let me love you
Do what I want to do
Anyway you want
It's alright with me
Feels so good
Know that I love you
Know that I need you
Anyway you want
It's alright with me
Anyway you want
It's alright with me
Anyway you want
It's alright with me
Anyway you want
It's alright with me
Anyway you want
Woah now
It's alright it's alright
Baby now
It's alright it's alright
Baby let me love you
Yeah yeah
Yeah Yeah
It's alright it's alright it's alright
It's alright it's alright it's alright
Listen to the briskly whistling winter evergreen
Whispering through the frozen morning light
And tell me what's to come
Saying my time is near
Never fear
I close each year
I'm winter
Reminding me to trade my t-shirts for my woven wools
Trade my sandals for my skis
Whispered warnings in the wind
Saying soon come the dancing snowflakes
They're kissing every tree
They're kissing you and me
Please hurry
Falling
Dazzling dancing diamonds from the sky
Prisms
Rainbow sparkled flurries in our eyes
Whipping across the frozen crystal meadow
Pond of ice
Race the snow
We'll build a warming fire there
And cuddle close and wine and dine
The setting sun
The morning light will find us high
Shooting down the glistening mountain side
Screaming through the whispering pines
The freedom of each day
Will cleanse our minds
I can hardly wait for winter
I can hardly wait for the snow
I can hardly hardly wait for winter
I can hardly wait for the snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow
How could I be happy
Without her by my side
Without her smiling face
At the sunrise
How could I keep living
With emptiness inside
With no one there to touch
At the sunrise
She gave meaning to my words
My funny words
She helped me find my way
I've been astray
The time I had to leave her
Leave her all alone
The way she looked at me
Made me cry
I know she understands me
She knows I'm feelin' bad
Until I'm back beside her
At the sunrise
[Instrumental]
Que pe chesa
Que pe chesa
Que pe chesa
Que pe chesa
[Instrumental]
Merely by chance
Very unsuspecting
You caught my heart
Unprotecting me
Now I've fallen in love with you
Just when I thought
I was free and easy
You came along to me
Soft and breezy
Now I've fallen in love with you
Woo hoo
I've fallen in love with you
And for the first time in my life
I know what it's like to be a happy man
Happy man
And for the first time in my life
You've given me something I can't understand
Being a happy man
Be with me now
Love me forever
Leaving you lady
Is something that I'd never do
I've fallen in love with you
All of my life it seems I have waited
Now I can say all these words I have stated are true
I've fallen in love with you
Woo hoo
Fallen in love with you Woo hoo
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
I saw her once before; she didn't turn me on.
One night she stopped to talk to pass the time.
And then I saw her eyes; her softly smiling glow,
We sat and talked all night at Byblos.
She talked of feelings that I knew were true.
She painted me a picture using every shade of blue
It was light with laughter, at times it made me cry,
And now I'll never know just why I didn't ever try to hold her;
to squeeze her; to kiss her all night long, I never tried to please her.
Then, soon she had to go;
I sat there all alone
And thought of things she said
The whole day through.
And then I realized,
I never took the time
To find out where she lived
Or where to call.
I thought that I would see her
The next night,
Anticipating how I'd set myself right.
Then, I went back to Byblos;
I sat there and waited,
Feeling just a little nervous
And a little frustrated.
Then, soon, in she came, looking just the same
Oo, I could hardly wait to take her far from the game.
Then a person came in to the club
that I had to speak to
I explained the situation to her
And I thought she understood
But I guess she thought I was jiving her around
Cause when I looked for her, this is what I found
She was rapping with a real good friend of mine,
He was happening, I guess it was his time.
I really couldn't blame him, cause he was sad and lonely too.
But just talking to her did me so much good, I knew she'd do him good too.
Then I went home and I got it on,
Sat down to write these words when I was finally alone.
And then, about halfway through I wondered if someone knew
where she was, so I could give her a call,
And I found out that she was right down the hall,
Not too far away,
But that's ok, I'll just wait for the day when I can see her again
And spend some time.
[Instrumental]
Since we talked half the night
Feelin' good, feelin' right
Words were spoke brought us close
When we touched it was overdose
On the road you're back there
You're my friend, darlin' dear
Open up, let me in
I am your paladin
When your smile shines on me
I am the seducee
We will fly everywhere
You're my friend, darlin' dear
Pa-pa-pa-party plan, get the phone
Did you read Rolling Stone?
Knowing you, knocked me out
I am your roustabout
Pretty good atmosphere
You're my friend, darlin' dear
Oh baby
