Sumac ( /ˈsjuːmæk/ or /ˈʃuːmæk/; also spelled sumach) is any one of approximately 250 species of flowering plants in the genus Rhus and related genera, in the family Anacardiaceae. Sumacs grow in subtropical and temperate regions throughout the world, especially in Africa and North America.
Sumacs are shrubs and small trees that can reach a height of 1–10 metres (3.3–33 ft). The leaves are spirally arranged; they are usually pinnately compound, though some species have trifoliate or simple leaves. The flowers are in dense panicles or spikes 5–30 centimetres (2.0–12 in) long, each flower very small, greenish, creamy white or red, with five petals. The fruits form dense clusters of reddish drupes called sumac bobs. The dried drupes of some species are ground to produce a tangy purple spice.
Sumacs propagate both by seed (spread by birds and other animals through their droppings), and by new shoots from rhizomes, forming large clonal colonies.
The word sumac traces its etymology from Old French sumac (13th century), from Medieval Latin sumach, from Arabic summāq (سماق), from Syriac summāq (ܣܘܡܩ) - meaning "red."
Yma Sumac ( /ˈiːmə ˈsuːmæk/; September 13, 1922 – November 1, 2008) was a noted Peruvian soprano. In the 1950s, she was one of the most famous proponents of exotica music. She became an international success based on her extreme vocal range, which was said to be "well over four octaves" and was sometimes claimed to span even five octaves at her peak.
Zoila Augusta Emperatriz Chávarri del Castillo was born on September 13, 1922, in Callao, a seacoast city in Peru.
Stories published in the 1950s claimed that she was an Incan princess, directly descended from Atahualpa. Her New York Times obituary reported that "The largest and most persistent fabrication about Ms. Sumac was that she was actually a housewife from Brooklyn named Amy Camus, her name spelled backward. The fact is that the government of Peru in 1946 formally supported her claim to be descended from Atahualpa, the last Incan emperor."
Chávarri adopted the stage name of Imma Sumack (also spelled Ymma Sumack and Ima Sumack) before she left South America to go to the U.S. The stage name was based on her mother's name, which was derived from Ima Shumaq, Quechua for "how beautiful!" although in interviews she claimed it meant "beautiful flower" or "beautiful girl".
I saw her today,
I saw her face,
It was a face I loved, and I knew,
I had to run away,
And get down on my knees and pray
That they'd go away,
And still they begin,
Needles and pins,
Because of all my pride,
The tears I gotta hide.
Oh, thought I was smart,
I'd won a heart,
Didn't think I do,
But now you see,
She's worse to him and me,
Let her go ahead,
And take this love instead,
And one day she will see,
Just how to say "please",
Get down on her knees,
That's how they begin,
You'll feel those needles and pins,
Hurtin' her, hurtin' her,
What can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong,
What can't I stand up, and tell myself I'm strong.
Because I saw her today ...
I saw her face,
It was a face I loved, and I knew,
I had to run away,
And get down on my knees and pray,
That they'd go away,
And still they begin,
Needles and pins,
Because of all my pride,
The tears I gotta hide...
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Restless strife on a downtown street
Motorbike ride in the mid-day heat
The dust that hung from the desert skies
Run though we’d run, it still burned our eyes
Oh yes, we may walk on the wild, wild side of life
And our movements traced by a stranger, close by your side
Shadows of a promise, you can take my hand,
Show me a way to understand,
So if you think you know how to love me,
And you think you know what I mean,
And if you really, really want me to stay,
You got to lead the way
Yes, if you think you know how to love me,
And you think you can stand by me
And if you really, really want me to stay,
You got to lead the way
Reckless night in a nameless town
Then we moved out of sight with a silent sound
A beach that wept, with deserted waves
That’s where we slept knowing we’d be safe,
Now you may think you may walk on the wild, wild side with me,
But there’s a lot I can learn and a lot I’ve yet to see,
Know you got my life, lying in your hand,
Just for you to make me understand,
So if you think you know how to love me,
And you think you know what I mean,
And if you really, really want me to stay,
You got to lead the way
Yes, if you think you know how to love me,
And you think you can stand by me
And if you really, really want me to stay,
You got to lead the way
Yes, if you think you know how to love me,
And you think you can stand by me
And if you really, really want me to stay,
Boulevard of Broken Dreams lyrics
Walking in the rain,
I can't believe the way I'm feeling;
Lonely once again,
Could it be that I'm still dreaming;
I thought I heard you talking,
But deep inside I know,
This heart of mine has left me walking
Down the Boulevard of broken dreams,
Down the Boulevard of broken dreams,
You left me broken hearted,
Before we got things started
Rain keeps falling, or so it seems
Down the boulevard of broken dreams,
Don't leave me broken hearted,
I don't wanna be on that
Boulevard of broken dreams
Burning in my heart,
Tells me now that it's all over;
It's tearing me apart,
Feeling that I'm sinking over;
I thought I heard you talking,
But deep inside I know,
This heart of mine has left me walking
Down the Boulevard of broken dreams,
Down the Boulevard of broken dreams,
Don't leave me broken hearted,
I don't wanna be on that
Boulevard of broken dreams.
Walking in the rain,
Can't believe what I am seeing;
Is it you again,
Oh tell me baby I'm not dreaming,
'Cause I can hear you talking,
No more will I be walking
Down the Boulevard of broken dreams,
Down the Boulevard of broken dreams,
You left me broken hearted,
Before we got things started
Rain keeps falling, or so it seems
Down the boulevard of broken dreams,
Don't leave me broken hearted,
I don't wanna be on that
Boulevard of broken dreams
Dont leave me baby
I dont wanna be
On that Boulevard of broken dreams
Dont break my heart
Keeping us apart
We were walking, we were barely talking
It was late '63
Clouds were overloaded, and when they exploded
You said to me
Oh, oh, oh, look at the rain
Oh, oh, oh, umbrella day, throw it away
Out together it was stormy weather
We were soaked to the skin
Thunder crashing, we wee puddle splashing
and we started to sing
Oh, oh, oh, look at the rain
Oh, oh, oh, umbrella day, throw it away
Now look my way and see, just how wonderful
Rain can be, loving you loving me
It's going round, tound, round
Down, down and down
Round round and round, down, down and down
we were calling at the water falling
As I fell to the ground
You and I, we really blessed the sky
Oh, for this new love we've found
Oh, oh, oh look at the rain
Oh, oh, oh, umbrella day
Oh, oh, oh , look at the rain
Oh, oh, oh, umbrella day
It's going round, round and round
Down, down and down
Sally called when she got the word,
She said: "I suppose you've heard -
About Alice".
Well I rushed to the window,
And I looked outside,
But I could hardly believe my eyes -
As a big limousine rolled up
Into Alice's drive...
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving,
Or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons,
But I just don't want to know,
'Cos for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice.
Alice, who the fuck is Alice
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance,
Now I've got to get used to not living next door to
Alice...
Alice, who the fuck is Alice
Grew up together,
Two kids in the park,
Carved our initials,
Deep in the bark,
Me and Alice.
Now she walks through the door,
With her head held high,
Just for a moment, I caught her eye,
As a big limousine pulled slowly
Out of Alice's drive.
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving,
Or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons,
But I just don't want to know,
'Cos for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice.
Alice, who the fuck is Alice
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance,
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to
Alice...
Alice, who the fuck is Alice
Sally called back, asked how I felt,
She said: "I know how to help -
Get over Alice".
She said: "Now Alice is gone,
But I'm still here,
You know I've been waiting
For twenty-four years..."
And the big limousine disappeared...
I don't know why she's leaving,
Or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons,
But I just don't want to know,
'Cos for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice.
Alice, who the fuck is Alice
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
But I'll never get used to not living next door to
Alice...
Alice, who the fuck is Alice
I don't know why she's leaving,
Or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons,
But I just don't want to know,
'Cos for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice.
Alice, who the fuck is Alice
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance,
Now I've got to get used to not living next door to
Alice...
Alice, who the fuck is Alice
I don't know why she's leaving,
Or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons,
But I just don't want to know,
'Cos for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice.
Don't talk to me of shattered dreams
Of course you don't know what it means
To live for someone else you just can't take
Oh and when you're bitten by the truth
You blame it on your misspent youth
you never seem to learn by your mistakes.
So don't talk to me of wild wild angels
Wild wild angels on the skyways
Those wild wild angels on the highways of your life
'Cause it's people like you who never knew
What wild wild angels have to face.
Oh and I ain't hangin' round to see
You turn on someone else like me
I'm still alive and you know the way I live
But babythat's one way you'll never be
Such simple things you fail to see
You take back ev'rything you ever given.
Did you ever look down on an Egyptian plain
Did you ever look down upon the golden grain
andif you could find water on that Egytian plain
Would you ever go back there again
and did you ever head out across the Aegean sea
Have you looked down on a sunrise in the east
And if you saw your reflection in that Aegean sea
Could it mean that that's where you were meant to be
But you and I, we're flyin' high
We'll touch the sky
We're flyin' high
Can you still see the water, can you still see the sands
Higher and higher away from the land
We were born in the waters, lost in the sands,
Now, we're flyin' high
When my back was against the wall, she called me names,
When I was feeling small, she called me names,
Molly said she had to go, it don't seem right,
Just when I was feeling low, we had to fight.
Don't you know, don't you now,
Don't you know, don't you know,
Gladly I would give a piece of mind to live without her
Gladly I would give a piece of mind to live without her.
When my sky was turning grey, she'd bring me down,
Couldn't face another day, she'd bring me down,
Well many times she said she'd go, but she would stay,
I didn't really think that she would go away.
Don't you know, don't you now,
Don't you know, don't you know,
Gladly I would give a piece of mind to live without her
Gladly I would give a piece of mind to live without her.
When my confidence was low, she'd turn away,
Every dream that I dream
Seems to float on by
Like a cloud in the wind
Way up in the sky
Every move that I make
Seems to be the wrong way
Like a cold black night
After a summer day
What can I do
What can I do
Nothing to say but it used to be
Nothing to say but it used to be
What can I do
You still play my guitar
With a smile on my face
Now everything's changed
My whole life's rearranged
From the day I was born
Sidle Jinks was my name
Though I tried and I tried
That name still remains
What can I do
What can I do
Nothing to say but it used to be
Nothing to say but it used to be
What can I do
What can I do
What can I do
What can I do
What can I do
I hear voices all singing
But no one is there
It's a ghost of my life
Bringing past tense to mind
Lokin' key inside me
From the freedom and sin
Oh come let me in
I'll start all over again
What can I do
What can I do
Nothing to say but it used to be
No no no no no no no no no
What can I do
What can I do
When you close your eyes tonight
think of what we hat
Don't feel sadness, don't feel shame
'cause we had true romance
Oh, we had it all
A love so bright
Like a diamond in the skay
Before yousleep and dreams unfold
Bear me in your mind
Think about the night
I held you in my arms
and think about the fire
that burn inside your hearts
Just think about the night
Kissed the tear from your eyes
I held you close to me
you whispered: this is not goodbye
I'll come back, wait and see
Oh we had it all
We hve our dreams
We have the heavens up above
Before you sleep and dreams unfold
think about our love
Little Jenny came out of school,
Givin' boys the eye,
But the smile she gave to me,
Was for some other guy - other guy.
Took her to a movie show,
A dollar-fifty treat,
Went out to the car and came right back,
Some guy was in my seat - ain't she sweet.
Chorus:
I can't help feeling this way,
Thinking it over it's crazy to stay,
Well I know that it's got to be,
The girl can't help it, she's in love with me.
Jenny, Jenny, wonder why,
Kiss the boys and see me cry,
Don't you know there'll come a day,
All the boys will walk away - walk away.
Chorus
When I'm close to you at night,
I just can't tell wrong from right,
Jenny, oh I love you so,
I will never let you go - let you go.
I worshipped you
treasured you
Drove my soul inside of you
Dreamed a dream for me and you
It's turned into a nightmare
And like a drug
I can't break loose
I've died a million times for you
And like a leech you suck from me
the hope, the strength left inme
My sanity still clings to me
I've bared my sould for all to see
sold my very history
A song to please the nation
I turn my frown to dancing clown
sing my songs, turn on the charm
To earn some love, to keep me warm
My guitar plays for you
So scream you guitar
Scream for mypain
Cry for your share of this fortune and fame
Scream you guitar
Scream for the shame
You cannot escape your share of the blame
Yet stll I find this need in me
to prove myself to all who see
that I am what I dreamed I'd be
and I will live forever
at centre stage I'll take my place
Emotion drawn upon my face
My guitar slung around my waist
I'm here to play for you
I called you on the phone tonight
Said you were doing fine
I held my breath, said I'm alright
but we red between the lines
I asked you are you all alone
you paused before you answered
I swallowed hard, apologised
You said it doesn't matter
and then the rain came down
the rain came down
Like tears against my window pane
They cry instead of me
My heart is numb and cries no more
for fading memories
but still the rain comes down
the rain comes down
Just like tears from up above
Falling down upon my world
well I just can't comprehend
How it all went wrong back then
should have held on,
should have been strong
should have never let it end
your photgraph's still standing here
Feels like you're watching me
But photograph's can't fill this space
Or give the love I need
Still the rain comes down
(Goffin / King)
My tears are fallin',
'Cause you've taken her away.
And though it really hurts me so,
There's somethin' that I've got to say...
Take good care of my baby,
Please don't ever make her blue,
Just tell her that you love her,
Make sure you're thinkin' of her,
In everything you say and do.
Take good care of my baby,
Now don't you ever make her cry,
Just let your love surround her,
Make a rainbow all around her,
Don't let her see cloudy sky.
Once upon a time,
That little girl was mine.
If I'd been true,
I know she never be with you.
Take good care of my baby,
Be just as kind as you can be.
And if you should discover.
That you don't really love her,
Just send my baby back home to me
And if you should discover.
That you don't really love her,
Just send my baby back home to me...
Take good care of my baby...
Take good care of my baby...
Take good care of my baby...
Hey, mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to.
Hey, mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to.
Hey, mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In that jingle jangle morning I'll come following you.
Take me for a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship,
When my hands can't feel to grip, and my toes too numb to step,
Wait only for my boot heels to be wandering.
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for today,
Untill my own parade cast your dancing spell my way,
I promise to go under it.
Hey, mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to.
Hey, mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In that jingle jangle morning I'll come following you.
Hey, mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to.
Hey, mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In that jingle jangle morning I'll come following you.
Hey, mister Tambourine Man,
Hey, mister Tambourine Man,
Hey, mister Tambourine Man.
I don't want to see you down again
I don't want to hear you crying
We're living in different worlds
I can't stand to watch you go and just walk away
Pressured by what people say
I want you and how
My love is for you
And that's all that I need to know
Juliet
Oh Romeo, Oh Juliet
I need you so, my love won't wait
Together forever, we'll seal our own fate
Our love is a secret of the night
It pains me to use this disguise
We'll meet on the other side
I can't stand to live without your love for a day
We'll meet in the heavens, I pray
Keep holding me now
our love is true
And that's all that we need to know
Juliet...
I don't want to see you down again
I don't want to hear you cryin'
We're living in different worlds
I can't stand to watch you go and just walk away
We'll meet in the heavens, I pray
Remember the days I used to bring you roses
Remember the ways I used to hold you close to me
Now they're gone and I've lost my time
Never more will you be mins
Remember the days I used to send you flowers
Remember the calls that used to last for hours
Now they're gone so I take the fall
Get my chance to take it all
I, I really missed you
I, I need to kiss you
Please change your mind and find the time to call
I, I feel so hazy
You, you drive me crazy
Please change your mind and we can have it all
it wasn't so long ago you called me darling
I was your blue eyed boy,
you were my only toy
Now they're gone and I've lost my time
Like a Caribbean Sunset
your eyes they shine'
And from the first time we met
I swore you'd be mine
I saw you by the hotel bar
I saw you waiting there
you were cool as a cat
I could tell you were unaware
A thousand eyes upon you,
just waiting for the kill
It's all in the thrill of the chase
They're playing it still
Like a Rock'n'Roll Rodeo
it's part of the game
Lika a Rock'n'Roll Rodeo
They're staking their claim
Like a Rock'n'Roll Rodeo
They'll never give in
Like a Rock'n'Roll Rodeo
They're all out to win
they're all out to win
I was waiting for the last song
waiting patiently
Planning tomake my move
when I saw you smile at me
Lika a Caribbean Sunset,
your eyes they shine
and I'll never forget
'cos I knew you'd be mine
A thousand eyes upon you
just waiting for the kill
It's all in the thrill of the chase
We're playing it still
Like a Rock'n'Roll Rodeo...
It's all in the thrill of the chase
They're all out to win
Well I was out cruisin', getting late and I was losin',
When I saw you walking my way,
So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want,
But so do I and I aint losing today.
Well your hips were swinging and your jeans were
clinging,
You were driving me out of my mind,
On a hot afternoon when there's nothing to do,
Your not the sort of thing a fellow should find,
So I pulled on over, tossed your hair off your
shoulder,
When you turned and you looked my way,
Oh you would have died or you'd have skinned me alive,
If I'd have said what I wanted to say,
So being polite said what you doin' tonight,
You said just so happens I'm free,
You got all the right curves and all the right words,
And that's alright by me.
Chorus:
Oh Carol you got me eatin' my heart away,
You got me countin' my nights and days,
Oh I am floatin' on the milky way,
Oh Carol nobody's done it before,
Oh baby you've opened the door,
Oh Carol you can do it some more.
Well if you're ready for this when we started to kiss,
She said hold on a minute or two.
Well naturally I knew it couldn't be me,
I said baby what's troublin' you,
She said I'm just sixteen if you know what I mean,
So we sat and we talked for a while,
And when we finally kissed you know she didn't resist,
And I must say she did it with style.
Chorus
Well I was out cruisin', getting late and I was losin',
When I saw you walking my way,
So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want,
But so do I and I aint losing today.
I was walkin the streets of Vienna
Just a shootin' my mind
when an angel of the night
She stopped, said are you looking
for a good time
Well I'd had me a whisky or two
and I had nothing else better to do, so
I said come on let's get down
and she blew my - mind
One night in Vienna
I was your lover, you were my friend
One night in Vienna
One night I never wanted to end
wanted to end
Oh, oh, oh
Said I'd meet her on the corner
Same time, same place
Lots of street girls passed me by- but
No sign of my angel's face
then another one stopped me
And I couldn't resist
But she just left me standing
with akeepsake and a kiss
One night in Vienna...
I often wonder whatever happened
to my angel
I was five years old
When I first saw her face
I can see her now, school yard was the place
And she took my breath away
'Cause I felt love that day
I was ten years old
When mama said goodbye
I was just a boy when I saw my daddy cry
And it took my breath away
'Cause I felt love that day
I'm getting feelings that I can't control
Are you feeling the same
Open my heart, take a look at my soul
And love me again
I was seventeen
When I made love to her
We were lying there, naked, warm and pure
And she took my breath away
When we made love that day
I'm getting feelings that I can't control...
I was twenty-one
When I held him in my arms
He was my first born
oh the dreams that I had planned
And he took my breath away
'Cause I held love that day
I'll kiss your lips
My finger tips
Will know just what to do
tonight's the night that I will find
the woman that's in you
I'll kiss you, caress you,slowly undress you
and we'll make love
all night through
Baby love me, lady love me
Like no one ever could
I can never
Never ever
get enough naked love
don't try to fight
What's locked inside?
Just open up the door
Let me in, just give in
to what you waited for
I'll touch you, tease you
I'm here just to please you
and we have got
all night love
Baby love me, lady love me
Like no one ever could
I can never
Never ever
get enough naked love
Hold on, be strong
you know it can't be wrong
Let love lead you
Let me show you the way, oh yea..
Baby love me, lady love me
Like no one ever could
I can never
Never ever
get enough naked love
Baby love me, lady love me
Like no one ever could
I can never
Never ever
This night won't last too long
This brain won't call forever
This heart won't turn to stone if we just hold on
When the tears start to fall, we can face it all
If we remember: We can move, we can move
We can move mountains, we are strong together
We can take what's wrong and make it better
A little faith is all we need, just we'll need
We're moving mountains, moving mountains
We're moving mountains, moving mountains
I know we're half way there
I feel the worst is over
And though we just begun, there's a place in the sun
Where love can survive, I'll be by your side
I'll be your shelter:
We can move, we can move
We can move mountains, we are strong together
We can take what's wrong and make it better
A little faith is all we need, just we'll need
We're moving mountains, moving mountains
We're moving mountains, moving mountains
When the tears start to fall, we can face it all
If we remember: We can move, we can move
We can move mountains, we are strong together
We can take what's wrong and make it better
A little faith is all we need, just we'll need
We're moving mountains, moving mountains
If you want my sympathy
Just open your heart to me
And you'll get whatever you'll ever need
You think that's too high for you
Oh baby, I would die for you
When there's nothin' left, you know where I'll be
Lay back in the arms of someone
Give in to the charms of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love
Lay back in the arms of someone
When you feel you're a part of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love
So baby, just call on me
When you want all of me
And I'll be your lover, I'll be your friend
And there's nothin' I won't do
'Cause baby, I just live for you
With nothin' to hide, no need to pretend, oh oh
Lay back in the arms of someone
Give in to the charms of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love
Lay back in the arms of someone
When you feel you're a part of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love
Oh, I know you think that's too high for you
Well baby, I would die for you
When there's nothin' left, I'll be with you, oh oh
Lay back in the arms of someone
Give in to the charms of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love
Lay back in the arms of someone
When you feel you're a part of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love, oh yeah
this life has taken me so far and so many roads
I've had to choose
Some win, some lose
this life has been a gamble,
I held my cards close to my chest
I've played the part
Somehow the mists of time have washed all over me
the comfort of your arms is where I need to be
(Cause) when you're lyin' in the arms
of the one you love
And you got your faith in God above
And you feel like you're riding on the wind
When you're lyin in the arms of the one you love
and you know it's good fromm the stars above
Ooh, that's love
I get so tired of dreamin
where is the fire that burned inside
With all it's pride
the flame became a candle so fragile
with the autumn wind
the need to win
Somehow the sands of time weigh heavy over me
Wrapped in your lovin arms is where I'd
rather be
Juanita came last night and she cried over and over
Uuh Daddy I love you
you know and I think it's the moonlight.
She looked so fine well she looked allright and she moaned
Oh Daddy move over
Oh baby you know what i like and I think it's the moonlight.
Made in Mexico
schooled in France
Oh-la lovin' she neede no teachin'
Oh Man I can say international ways I believe in.
Mexican girl don't leave me alone
I got a heart as big as a stone
And I need you believe me to be here and love me tonight.
Mexican Girl I want you to stay
You know my heart is longing to say
That as long as I live will always remember the once that I called
My mexican girl.-
Her skin was soft as the velvet sky and her hair
It shone in the moonlight.
And as the music did play well the night turned to day
And I held her tight.
The she looked at me with her dark brown eyes and she
whispered "Hasta La Vista!"
Well I don't know what that means but it sounded
So good so I kissed her.
Mexican girl don't leave me alone...
Mexican girl don't leave me alone
I got a heart as big as a stone
And I need you to believe me to be here and love me tonight.
Mexican Girl I want you to stay
You know my heart is longing to say
That as long as I live will always remember the one that I called
I still feel so good, when you touch my hand
And a world of fear just fades away
sometimes words come easy
But they don't seem right
and I can't say what I feel tonight
I'm lonely when you go away
I just want you here forever
I believe in, I believe in love can change
your heart
I believe in, I believe in love can make it
I just can't let gor
I still think about you when I'm on my own
So I'll just wait till love comes home
sometimes I go crazy but what can I do
There's a fire tonight and it burns for you
And time won't ease the pain I feel
I know we could be in love forever
I believe in,...
Hold me now, hold me now
don't let this love die
touch me now, I feel somehow
We could make this last forever
I believe in,...
You're wasting my time, you're drinking my wine.
So Little Lucy say goodbye,
I've stood quite enough, I'm calling your bluff
The cost of loving's much too high.
So Little Lucy, Little Lucy don't you cry,
Little Lucy, Little Lucy don't you cry,
We've had a hard time honey, so Little Lucy say
goodbye.
I'm playing it cool, I ain't such a fool,
You know our love's just one big lie,
We put on a show, but now you must go,
And we can't say we didn't try.
So Little Lucy, Little Lucy don't you cry,
Little Lucy, Little Lucy don't you cry,
We've had a hard time honey, so Little Lucy say
goodbye.
We've had some trouble,
Ain't gonna see your face no more,
Now at the double,
I'm gonna see ya just go right through that door.
You're wasting my time, you're drinking my wine.
So Little Lucy say goodbye,
I've stood quite enough, I'm calling your bluff
The cost of loving's much too high.
So Little Lucy, Little Lucy don't you cry,
Little Lucy, Little Lucy don't you cry,
We've had a hard time honey, so Little Lucy say
goodbye.
So Little Lucy, Little Lucy don't you cry,
Little Lucy, Little Lucy don't you cry,
We've had a hard time honey, so Little Lucy say
Who said the web of life is woven in a dream,
'Cause your life is filled with dreams you can't believe.
So the only way you live with it is acting every scene,
And you play the part so well, that you deceive
Now and again I find you ain't got a friend
Who knows, I come and I go, but it's your life...
Though the world is overcrowded you still found an empty place,
And I know he leaves you helpless and confused.
And your search for love has often left you staring into space
Just another broken heart, so what's the use?
How many times have I been so hard to find?
You know I come and I go, but it's your life...
How does it feel when he's not around?
Can he be real when he can be found nowhere?
Who lit the flame upon the candle tonight?
And who let herself be lit so easily?
And who let it burn until the early morning light
And in the early morning gave herself to me?
And so, my love, you know that it's your life...
Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know - It's been coming for some time
When it's over so they sy
It'll rain a sunny day
I know shining down like water
I want to know
have you ever seen the rain
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain
comin' down on a sunny day
Yesterday and days before
sund is cold and rain is hard
I know - been that way for all my time
'till forever on it goes
Through the circle fast and slow
I know - and it can't stop I wonder
I want to know...
someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know - it's been coming for some time
When it's over so they say
It'll rain a sunny day
I know - shining down like water
I want to know...
They say when love comes
It's something so good
But I've seen love come and go
'Cause baby
I've been in love once
To someone special
And I saw love walk out the door
Can't you see that I was
Hurting deep down inside
Trying to hide my pride
Straighten out my mind
Longing to make things right?
Countless times I have cried
Laid awake endless nights
Reliving the bad times
Longing to make it right
They say when love comes
Love means so much
But will love last? I have my doubts
So baby
I don't want to
Want to need you
Just so you can let me down
'Cause I've been
Repeat
Hurting deep down inside...
I've been in love once
To someone special
When I was young I had a dream
But dreams can be cold
If you know what I mean
It was such a magical mystery to me
Then you came along
So wild and so free
In the heat of the night
You wrapped your arms around me
And held me so tight
In the heat of the night
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
In the heat of the night
No you won't let me go
One look in your eyes I can't say no
It all seemed a magical mystery to me
Then this new love was born
So wild and so free
In the heat of the night
You wrapped your arms around me
And held me so tight
In the heat of the night
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
In the heat of the night
It was such a magical mystery to me
Till you came along
So wild and so free
In the heat of the night
You wrapped your arms around me
And held me so tight
In the heat of the night
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
Going tomorrow, going away,
Going tomorrow, hear me say,
I'm going away.
Going tomorrow, leave the past,
I Going tomorrow and at last,
I'll leave the past.
I've had enough of this here town, yeah,
It's breakin' me up, it's bringin' me down.
Going tomorrow, going away,
Going tomorrow, hear me say,
I'm going away.
I've had enough of this here town, yeah.
It's breakin' me up, it's bringin' me down.
Going tomorrow, leave the past,
Going tomorrow and at last,
I'll leave the past.
Hey, hey, hey, I'm going away,
Hey, hey, hey, I'm going away.
very nearly caught me out that time
but let me win that's a memory of mine
time cuaht up with you too soon
and I cried enough tears to put oceans on the moon
Don't turn out your light
don't turn out your light
Don't turn out the light that
I see shining from you to me
It's so real
It's been four years since you've been gone
but you touch me in the night and
in me you live on
Don't turn out your light...
Grandad's son you're on my min
You're everywhere
didn't know I'd miss you soo
till you weren't there
Don't turn out your light...
Times we shared together seem so few
Understand what you mean to me
My growing hunger for your love
I haven't always shown the way I feel
A crime I know I'm guilty of
But try to understand
It's taken me so long to free my mind
To open up to all this love you have to give
With every little kiss
You release the love in me
With every little kiss
I give in as helplessly
No I never knew what love was about until you
Showed me how to feel
With every little kiss
I will be your fantasy
Every desire that you dream of
I'll be your shining knight
I'll be your Romeo, your guiding light
You hold the key to all the love that's locked inside
Repeat
With every little kiss...
There are times we touch
I feel the beatin' of your heart
Touch me darlin' with your warm caress
Every breath we take brings us to a higher love
Say we'll be forever girl
With every little kiss
You wanna dream, son
Well I can make you one
I'll take you higher than you ever thought you'd go
Yes, I can make you
And I can break you
I make the rules, you pay your dues
And don't forget it, son
You'll be a big shot
I'll make you so hot
You'll rise so fast your feet won't ever touch the
ground
Be the main man, centre attraction
Number one I see it's done
The greatest thing around
Here's a man with a fistful of dollars in his hand
Telling me just what I gotta sing
But he don't understand I just can't think like the man
I don't wanna be a puppet on a string
No puppet on a string
So here's the rules boy, you'll be my toy
You'll be style, be the fashion, be the trend
I'll take you so far, you'll be a big star
You pay your dues, forget the rules cause they were
made to bend
Yes, you'll be so big 'cause I can fix it
I can make you everything you wanna be
You'll be the news boy, teenagers' new toy
A private jet, you'll be the set
Leave everything to me
Repeat
Oh, Oh, oh, love is all around you
But you're just too blind to see
Where the question of your love lies
Oh, there an answer waits for me
Is it more important that you keepme hanging on
You might wake up one morning
And you'll find,that I'll be gone
Love, is all I want from you, why don't you give to me
your
Love is all I want from you, why don't you give to me
your
Give it to me, give it to me, baby I need your loving
Give it to me, give it to me, baby I want your loving
Loving and afections is all that I need
Does your conscience ever worry you
'Cause your mind it worries me
So if you get that feeling, be sure to let me kno
But baby make it soon, or I'll be gone before you know
Love, is all I want from you, why don't you give to me
your...
I need your loving, I need your loving, I need your
loving
Your sweet sweet loving
Give it to me, give it to me
And if you give it to me, I'll give the whole world unto
Don't play your Rock'n'Roll to me,
That ain't the way it's meant to be.
I ain't so blind that I can't see,
Just let it lie and let it be,
So, don't play your Rock'n'Roll, no,
Don't play your Rock'n'Roll, no,
Don't play your Rock'n'Roll to me.
Well I know you think I'm crazy to keep hanging 'round,
But I was sort of hoping you'd change from the girl I found,
But your words just sound like Rock n' Roll lines to me,
And they're just about as burned out as a worn out 45,
And you can't expect them to keep our love alive,
So don't play your Rock'n'Roll to me,
That ain't the way it's meant to be.
I ain't so blind that I can't see,
Just let it lie and let it be,
So, don't play your Rock'n'Roll, no,
Don't play your Rock'n'Roll, no,
Don't play your Rock'n'Roll to me.
Well I guess you had me fooled for a while,
With your come on looks and your Mona Lisa smile,
But your Rock n' Roll is gettin' out of time for me,
Go sing your lines to someone else 'cos someone else maybe,
The fool you always thought you saw in me.
So don't play your Rock'n'Roll to me,
That ain't the way it's meant to be.
I ain't so blind that I can't see,
Just let it lie and let it be,
So, don't play your Rock'n'Roll, no,
Don't play your Rock'n'Roll, no,
Don't play your Rock'n'Roll to me.
Tried to carry ba myself
this heart of mine don't want no one else
My tears of emptiness
Cry out for you caress
I just can't hide this feeling inside of me
- so now I'm
Chasing shadows in the moonlight
Yes, I'm flying high across the sky
- you know I'm
Chasing shadows in the moonlight
Just to be with you tonight
Silent thougths that run through my mind
Keeps the magic burning inside
Still endless days grow cold
Without your love I'm sold
this secret feeling's still burning inside of me
Away in a manger no crib for a bed
The little lord Jesus lay down his sweet head
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay
Little lord Jesus asleep in the hay
The cattle are a-lowing the baby he awakes
But the little lord Jesus no crying he makes
I love you ohhh Jesus look down from the sky
And stay by my side until morning is nigh
Be near me Lord Jesus I asked you to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray
Bless all of the children in your tender care
Samantha Elizabeth, you're on my mind
Samantha Elizabeth, all of the time
You keep me dreaming
Only of you
And oh, I'm stuck on you
I'm stuck on you
Samantha Elizabeth, the questions you ask
Samantha Elizabeth, you're growing up fast
You are my everything
My heart, my home
You taught me everything
when I'm with my woman I'm content
the peace and the love
that she gives me is Heaven send
Just to be beside her is all I need
I feel so warm just to tough her
I do indeed
and oh how I love her,
Oh how I do
I can think of nothing I'd rather do
To spend all my life with my woman
you know it's true
and oh how I love her
Oh how I do
to spend a day without her can worry me
I think about her and want her constantly
Oh how I love her
Oh how I do
when I'm with my woman I'm content
the peace and the love
Tonight you're mine completely
you give your love so sweetly
tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow
Is this a lasting treasute
Or just a moment's pleasure
So tel me now I won't ask again
will you still love me tomorrow
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
but will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sund?
will you still love me tomorrow
tonight with words unspoken
you say that I'm the only one
but will my heart be broken
when the night meets the morning sund?
I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
so tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
When my hair is turning grey
And my mind has gone astray
Will you think about today
and will you love me
when I'm tired of being told
that I am looking old
will me feeling all turn cold
Or will you love me
Will you love me, love me, hold me
love me,
will you love me when I get old
Will you love me
when I'm feeling full of grief
'Cos I'm losing all my teeth
And there's nothing underneath
will you love me
when my days are getting few
We can't do things that we now do
No more prize that you once knew
Will you love me
Will you love me,...
and when I'm dead and gone
If you're still living on
Will you think about this song
And will you love me
You took me by surprise,
The things you said, you know I never realised.
That I was just another fool within your eyes,
But now I know just what to do.
So I'll be on my way,
The games you play are not the games I care to play.
So keep your distance, I'll soon find another day,
There's nothing I would rather do.
Chorus:
Oh woman! when you hurt my pride it cut me deep inside,
Oh woman! you led me to believe it was only me,
Oh woman! you really took me in with all your sweet
talkin'
Oh woman! oh I wonder if you knew all the pain you put
me through,
But how could I see what was in your eyes,
With your lies and your alibis,
Oh woman.
You took me for a ride,
Looking back, you know I laugh, but then I cried,
And now you see that slowly time has changed the tide,
so now the tables turned on you.
Chorus:
Oh woman! when you hurt my pride it cut me deep inside,
Oh woman! you led me to believe it was only me,
Oh woman! you really took me in with all your sweet
talkin'
Oh woman! oh I wonder if you knew all the pain you put
me through,
But how could I see what was in your eyes,
with your lies and alibis.
Chorus:
Oh woman! when you hurt my pride it cut me deep inside,
Oh woman! you led me to believe it was only me,
Oh woman! you really took me in with all your sweet
talkin'
Oh woman! oh I wonder if you knew all the pain you put
me through,
Wounded heart, I've been hopin'
There's a way gonna open
To a place where It's easy to forget
Every dream lyin' broken
I'm so tired of eeling this regret
Watching shadows turn to winter on your face
I don#t wann live her
It's cold cold unforgiving place
Where sorry's not enough
where the words have lost it's meaning
where nothing I can do can make it up to you
No I can't go on living
where sorry's not enough
All the bad moves I've been makng
all the trust I've been breaking
all the lies have been turning you to stone
Reaching out, trying to touch you
begging you one more time
I'm standing on the edge
Watching shadows turn to winter on your face
I don#t wann live here
It's cold cold unforgiing place
where sorry's not enough...
Apologies pour like water from my tongue
Now there's nothing left to say
As I survey the damage done
Through the lights on the stage she could see the young
trooperdor playing
He was handsome and strong and the music kept drawing her
near
When night found them there they were too young to care
Each of them wanting a chance
Two strangers falling, looks like they're caught in
romance
She wasn't looking for anything more than flirtation
He was just bored and though she might help pass the time
But the night was alive there was nowhere to hide
Each of them needing a chance...
Young love filled with the fire
Sparked by a passion a flirting desire
Long live to give love a chance
Feels like they're caught in romance
Feels like they're caught in romance
Ohh yeah
Was a quiet night as they strolled through the streets of
the city
Talking and laughing the night would too soon become day
But when morning had come they had both been as one
Each of them taking the chance...
Young love filled with the fire
Sparked by a passion a flirting desire
Long live to give love a chance
Feels like they're caught in romance
Feels like they're caught in romance
Feels like they're caught in romance
Too many pennies in hell
born in my eyes
I'm going down
Down to the bar
to swimm in the sea
Looking at you
Looking at me
Counting the cost
Nothing is free
Lately I've seen you crying
I have somebody's tears
lately I ain't been trying
I've been foolish for so many years
Now your suitcase stands in the hallway
All the memories you just can't deny
Till hell freezes over
Till the sun doesn't shine
Till the river stops flowing
Girl you'll be mine
Tell me you're doing fine now
I miss you more than I should
You tell me I should let go now
But I fight it this other love
Now you're leaving
I ain't disappearing
those kisses he gives you
Those kisses are mine
Till hell freezes over...
Till hell freezes over...
When I said that I loved you
I meant for all time
I thirst for the water
It keeps me alive
I can't give up fighting
there's one reason why
Just need you beside me
Without you I'll die
girl you'll be mine
Verse 1:
We are the children of yesterday's dream
We are the promise of the future we bring
Waving the banner of love to all
To every nation the rich and the poor
Bridge:
We are the world of the restless and young
And we need a hand to guide us
Helping each other build each other
As long as we're together, you & me
Chorus:
For together we stand
Divided we fall
Together we climb to the top of the world
We can be what we want, for the world to see
That we are the children of yesterday's dream
Verse 2:
We have the yearning to do what is best
Be someone special from all the rest
Nations and brothers in unity
Building tomorrow for you and for me
(Chorus)
We are the dreams come true
