I've been searchin',
So long.
I thought that love,
Would never come along.
All I could hear,
Was those sad songs.
But you came along,
And now they're gone.
[Chorus:]
No sad songs for me,
Now that I know what love can be.
You put a lovin'
That used to be great (?)
Honey, I love you,
For eternally.
[End chorus]
[Verse 1:]
I knew someday I'd find,
Love, joy, peace of mind.
God bless the day, baby,
You took those sad songs away.
[End Verse 1]
[Repeat chorus]
[Repeat Verse 1]
[Repeat chorus]
I feel so good,
Down inside.
Feel like a man,
Man with pride.
I've been searching,
So long.
I thought that love,
Would never come along.
Now I'm delivered,
From sad songs.
You came along,
And now they're gone.
And I'm glad,
I'm glad,
I got your love, baby.
It`s true you have me twisted round your finger and it seems that`s where I belong
You know how to hold me to thrill me and control me
Just enough to keep me hangin` on For now tomorrow and forever I guess I`m tied to you right or wrong
My love keeps a growing cause your love keeps a showing
Just enough to keep me hangin` on A love that`s strong as mine will make me do most anything
Like hiding tears and heartaches and dreaming silly dreams
You`ve got me where you want me you keep stringing me along
So confusin', so irrational
Must be fiction or a natural
D'you believe me when you hear me say
All my trouble seems to fade away?
When you're near I'm walkin' on sunshine
When you're near I'm drownin' within your eyes
When you're near I'm walkin' on sunshine
When you're near I'm drownin' within your eyes
Drownin' within your eyes
Stay with me, stay forever now
Wanna show you all the love I have
True affection like a spell on me
And I know you'll set it free
When you're near I'm walkin' on sunshine
When you're near I'm drownin' within your eyes
When you're near I'm walkin' on sunshine
When you're near I'm drownin' within your eyes
D'you believe me when you hear me say
All my trouble seems to fade away?
When you're near I'm walkin' on sunshine
When you're near I'm drownin' within your eyes
When you're near I'm walkin' on sunshine
Alright

I got to say it again
Sittin' in the mornin sun
I'll be sittin when the evenin' come
Watchin the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again
I'm sittin on the dock of the bay
watchin the time roll away
I'm just sittin on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
Cause I had nothin to live for
And look Like nothin's gonna come my way
So I'm just goin to sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin the time roll away
I'm sittin on the dock the dock of the bay wastin time
Look pop nothin's goin to change
everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same
Sittin' here restin my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
2000 miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home
Now I'm jus' gon' sit at the dock of a bay
watchin the time roll away
Sittin On the dock of the bay wastin' time
Oh yeah Step by step
I've got to get close to you
Step by step
I've got to get to know you - oh yeah You came into my life, my gods have the rain falling from above *And I knew when I first saw you
You were the one for me to love
But as sudden as you came, oh, you vanished into the night - yeah
I knew my life wouldn't be complete
Oh, without you to hold me tight Step by step
I've got to get close to you
Step by step
I've got to get to know you My friends all tell me
Tell me you're a woman of the street
Oh, but to me, baby, you're all my eyes can ever see
If we had one night together
I'll make you understand
That I need your love, baby
And I surely wanna be your man
Let me tell you, honey Step by step
I've got to get close to you
Step by step
Oh, it's been such a long, long time,
Looks like I'd get you off of my mind,
Oh, but I cant, just the thought of you,
Turns my whole world, misty blue.
Oh honey, just the mention of your name,
Turns the flicker to a flame,
Listen to me good baby
I think of things we used to do,
Then ah, my whole world turns misty blue.
Oh baby I should forget you,
Heaven knows I've tried,
Baby, and when I say that I'm glad were through.
Deep in my heart I know I've lied
I've lied, I've lied
Oh honey, it's been such a long, long time,
Looks like I'd get you off of my mind,
But I can't.
Baby I can't just the thought of you,
Then my whole world turns misty blue.
Oh honey, I can't just the thought of you,
My whole world turns misty blue.
Oh, I can't just the thought of you my love,
Don't break me, I bruise easily
The source of both, your love and misery
I am steady, beating endlessly
While you are dozing, dreaming pretty things
I don't work for free
Please take care of me
This is a message from your heart
Your most devoted body part
Taking blood and making art
This is a message from your heart
Pounding away into the dark
You could thank me for a start
This is a message from your heart
Don't hurt me, I bleed constantly
My efforts leave me but flow back swiftly
My rhythm soothing, like raindrops steady
On foggy windows while you gaze outwardly
I don't work for free
Please take care of me
This is a message from your heart
Your most devoted body part
Taking blood and making art
This is a message from your heart
Pounding away into the dark
You could thank me for a start
This is a message from your heart
This is a message from your heart
Every time you sleep
Every time you eat
Every time you laugh
This is a message from your heart
Your most devoted body part
Taking blood and making art
Every time you cry
This is a message from your heart
Pounding away into the dark
You could thank me for a start
Every time you love
This is a message from your heart
This is a message from your heart
I gave you all of my love
But you treated me like a fool
I gave up the right for the wrong
Tryin to get along with you
When I wanted to hold you close, you gone always too tight
Or you had some place to go - and listen to me honey
I'm walkin out the door, tellin you good-bye
I can't take it no more
It's your time to cry - it's your time to cry
Oh, I tried to stay with you because of our kids
But you just wouldn't do right
You leave home late in the morning
I wouldn't see you till late, late at night
Baby, also I still love you I'm afraid to survey
I cannot go on to make that same mistake again
And listen to me honey
I'm walkin out the door, tellin you good-bye
I can't take it no more
It's your time to cry - oh it's your time to cry
Mmh mmh, it's all over - your time to cry, it's all over
Your time to cry, it's all over...
It's all over - it's all over
I'm walking out the door tonight, can't stand it no longer
I can't stand it hear the telephone ring, it's breaking my heart

I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in a sea of love
I've been out here for so very long
I've lost all of my direction
Baby when you came my way
I thought I had found my protection
But a strong wind came into my life
It surely took me by surprise
I can't seem to control these tears
That are falling from my eyes
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in a sea of love
Baby I depended on you
For our love navigation
Now you've gone and deserted me
Can't you see that I'm in desperation
I'm in the middle of a bad love storm
Oh yeah I wasn't ready for
And I look around and all I see
Is water coming over me
I've been down one time
I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in a sea of love
I've been out here for so very long
I lost all of my direction
Baby when you came my way
I thought I had found my protection
But a strong wind came into my life
It surely took me by surprise
And I can't seem to control these tears
That are falling from my eyes
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in a sea of love
