They say in time all the truth comes to light
When you can see past the wrong and the right
There's a feelin' inside stronger than pride
Finds me every lonely night
Well I have searched the past in my mind
How we failed to see the danger signs
Well one good reason why we let our love die
Is something that I've failed to find
Somewhere in your heart
There's a lonely part that beats for me
Somewhere in your broken heart
There's a lonely part that beats for me
Well I have cried till my tears have turned cold
I'd trade my pride for peace in my soul
Please don't make me pay for the rest of my days
For emotions that ran out of control
We've all but closed the door on our past
And this one chance may well be our last
So before you decide one last look inside
Is all my shattered dreams can ask
Baby you push me a little too hard
Sometimes you pin me down
Catch me off my gaurd
And when I get outta line
It feels like you squeeze my mind
Baby you twist my words
Like only you know how
My heart can't find a rhythm
It's missing every other beat
Gimme some kinda love baby
Make it like it used to be
Gimme some kinda love baby
I need you right next to me
Sometimes I pushed you
A little too much
Sometimes I crossed that line
And I made you blush
I got a pain I can't nullify
Cos you stop me every single time
We've got to move before it
Becomes too late
You're testing my emotions
Tell me what is there to prove
Gimme some kinda love baby
Make it like it used to be
Gimme some kinda love baby
I'm still crazy for you, everything that you do
Just wanna keep you satisfied
Every trick in the book, girl by hook or by crook
Gonna keep you satisfied
You've become an addiction, somehow I can't resist
Let me make a prediction, now I know what I've missed
In my heart there's a whole lot of lovin'
A feelin' I can't deny
I can't ignore if I wanted, so baby why should I try
I'm still crazy for you, everything that you do
Just wanna keep you satisfied
Every trick in the book, girl by hook or by crook
Gonna keep you satisfied
Well my heart still pounds like a hammer
Every time you get close to me
And my pulse starts to race
At the thought of your embrace
And my mind blows naturally
Don't think I take you for granted
That's something I'd never do
Whatever you need to be happy
Just ask and I'll give it to you
I'm still crazy crazy for you, everything that you do
Just wanna keep you satisfied
Every trick in the book, girl by hook or by crook
I admit it, this time I was wrong
Anybody can make a mistake
I overdid it and I can't complain
If someone's taken my place
It ain't the first time, it won't be the last
That I find my life in dissaray
No use regretting, it's all in the past
So tell me what can I say
Is there any point, goin' on about it
When you know that I can do nothin' right
I don't know that talkin' it over will change,
The way I'm feeling tonight
I used to wake up, jump out of my bed
With a great big smile on my face
I was the business, no one could deny
Now I've fallen from grace
I just need a chance to forget about it
Do you really care who was wrong or right
I don't know that talkin it over will change
The way I'm feeling tonight
So if you want your freedom, I won't stand in your way
Cos I've got my pride, and I won't beg you to stay
Maybe one day I will write a book about it
I'll put everything down in black and white
I don't know that talkin it over will change
I was standing all alone against the world outside
And you were searching for a place to hide
Lost and lonely now you've given me the will to survive
When we're hungry love will keep us alive
Don't you worry, sometimes you've just got to let it ride
The world is changing right before your eyes
Now I've found you, there's no more emptiness inside
When we're hungry love will keep us alive
I would die for you, climb the highest mountain
Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do for you
Now I've found you, there's no more emptiness inside
When we're hungry love will keep us alive
I would die for you, climb the highest mountain
Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do for you
I was standing all alone against the world outside
And you were searching for a place to hide
Lost and lonely now you've given me the will to survive
When we're hungry love will keep us alive
When we're hungry love will keep us alive, yeah
You might think I keep my distance
You might think I have no plans to stay
You might think I have no weakness
But you don't understand a word I say
I tell you honestly
You know you mean the world to me
And if you're ever in need
I'll tell you where I'm gonna be
Oh yeah alright
Well I'm only a breath away
Oh yeah don't cry
Cause I'm only a breath away
Only a breath away
Never been a single moment
Never even been a day gone by
When I haven't felt your presence
Deep within my heart and in my mind
No matter where you are
I'll be with you constantly
And when you're feeling alone
I stand on my ground when we fight
No matter where we are
I am the sad clown with tear eyes
So happy on your own
We get some strange looks when we shout
Clowning at the bar
It seems that I've hoped
Now I found a match from my own heart
Just give me one good reason baby
One good reason now
One good reason, I should
I should hang around
I often wonder how we look
In other people's eyes
Wild lovers, explosive
And right above these eyes
She stands on her own ground when we kiss
Poisoning my mind
I bet that I found my match
To strike it up tonight
Just give me one good reason baby
One good reason now
One good reason, I should
I should hang around
One good reason baby
One good reason now
One good reason, I should
I should hang around
I should hang around
(One good reason)
The same thoughts going through my head
So many things better left unsaid
Well I'm telling you baby, there's no easy way out
Dreams may shatter, tears may fall
So hard to make any sense at all
Well I'm tellin' you darlin' there's no easy way out
All I can do is wait, I don't care how long it takes
Baby I just want to be standing by your side
Whenever you need whatever I can do
Don't worry bout losing face
You know my heart is in the right place
Well I'm telling you baby there's no easy way out
You know it's only a matter of time
Then everything's gonna work out fine
But I'm tellin' you darlin' there's no easy way out
All I can do is wait, I don't care how long it takes
Baby i, just want to be standing by your side
Whenever you need someone to hold you tight
Try to understand that every word I say is true
Tell me what else can I do?
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
Well, your friends and their fancy persuasion
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme
But I can't help but have my suspicions
'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem
Well, you said you was never intending
To break up our scene in this way
But there ain't any use in pretending
It could happen to us any day
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
How long and how long has this been going on?
How long and how long has this been going on?
How long, baby?
Oh, your friends and their gentle persuasion
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme
But I can't help but have my suspicions
'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem
Well, you said you was never intending
To break up our scene in this way
But there ain't any use in pretending
It could happen to us any day
Tell me, honey
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
How long and how long has this been going on
Going on, going on?
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on
Going on, going on, going on?
How long, honey, oh, has this been going on?
How long has this been going on
Going on, going on, going on?
How long has this been going on, going on, going on
You been treaten me mad, you been treaten me bad
And it's been going on, going on, going on
I ain't quite as dumb as I seem, I ain't quite the fool you mean
You can't see the flip side of the coin
You can't feel the part where two hearts join
There was a time I could make your day
When love was strong, has it gone
Fading far away?
Don't walk over me
Don't walk over me
Lift me up or set me free
But don't walk over me
True there's no reason for me to jump and shout
Give me love when your loves not around
I may not have the patience of a saint
Baby please don't make me hurry up and wait
Don't walk over me
I remember hearing footsteps running up to your door
They were echoes of my heartbeat
Nothing could be colder, how can love be over
When you're still not sure
Is it just me or does it seem so different tonight?
Here with you now I feel that everything is right
Come to me now
There's no reason to hesitate
Cos I don't know, I don't know
How much longer I can wait
Close to me
Darlin' I want to feel your heart, beating next to mine
Close to me
Cos deep inside I know that you're the one I've wanted
All this time
Is it just me or can you feel a magic in the air?
I close my eyes and I can feel it everywhere
Come next to me, hear the words that I want to say
Well I don't know, I don't know
How you make me feel this way
Close to me
Darlin' I want to feel your heart, beating next to mine
Close to me
Cos deep inside I know that you're the one I've wanted
All this time
Come next to me, hear the words that I want to say
Well I don't know, I don't know
How you make me feel this way
Close to me
Darlin' I want to feel your heart, beating next to mine
Close to me
Cos deep inside I know that you're the one I've wanted
Cab fare to nowhere is what you are
A white line to an exit sign is what you are
Oh but I saw in you, now I see through
Don't shed a tear for me, my life won't end without you
Long as the night will be, the sun will rise without you
A locked door on a candy store is what you are
A slim chance in tight pants is what you are
All that I loved you for, I want it more
Don't shed a tear for me, my life won't end without you
Long as the night will be, the sun will rise without you
You are giving what I'm not taking
I'm not missing what we ain't making
Oh but I saw in you, now I see through
Don't shed a tear for me, my life won't end without you
Long as the night will be, the sun will rise without you
Don't shed a tear for me, my life won't end without you
Long as the night will be, the sun will rise without you
Don't shed no tears,
All babies together, everyone a seed
Half of us are satisfied, half of us in need
Love’s bountiful in us, tarnished by our greed
When will there be a harvest for the world
A nation planted, so concerned with gain
As the seasons come and go, greater grows the pain
And far too many feelin' the strain
When will there be a harvest for the world
Gather everyman, gather everywoman
Celebrate your lives, give thanks for your children
Gather everyone, gather all together
Overlooking none, hopin' life gets better for the world
Dress me up for battle, when all I want is peace
Those of us who pay the price, come home with the least
Nation after nation, turning into beast
Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
It doesn't show signs of Pauseping,
And I've bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bying,
But as long as you love me so,
When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep you head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at you door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
You've got a friend
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
You give me Somethin' I can depend upon
Just like the Sun after the rain has gone
We're living in unusual times
The picture's changing everyday
It's hard to know which way to turn
There's a minefield whichever way
I see people runnin' everywhere now
All gettin' nowhere fast
I'm so glad I have something to believe in
Our love is built to last
You give me Somethin' I can depend upon
Just like the Sun after the rain has gone
So many times you've saved my life
I don't count 'em anymore
But I remember everyone
And I'm just glad you're not keepin' score
I feel like I'm guided by an angel
And I know just what it's worth
I never wonder if the grass is any greener
My heaven's here on earth
You give me Somethin' I can depend upon
Something so deep I know I can't go wrong
I don't need to worry, you're
Everything I need
And I know my satisfaction's gauranteed
You give me Somethin' I can depend upon
Just like the Sun after the rain has gone
You give me Somethin' I can depend upon
With you in mind, things just ain't bad as they seem
With you in mind, i can fill my wildest dreams
With you in mind, i can do anything, i know i can
With you in mind
With you in mind
With you in mind, i went out looking for the best
With you in mind, cause you deserve nothing less
With you in mind, i've done so many things that love can bring
With you in mind
With you in mind
Like a flower drinking from the falling rain
Or the same rain that could wash it away
Gives it strength, gives it water
And before you know, another day
Like a flower drinking from the falling rain
Or the same rain that could wash it away
Gives it strength, gives it water
And before you know, another day
Like a flower drinking from the falling rain
The same rain that could wash it away
Gives it strength, gives it water
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When you're in town.
Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the alligators knock him down.
When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.
Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.
Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
Tell me where would I be now
Without You
Without an angel
Watching out for me
It took a long, long time
For me to realize
All my faith in you
Was so justified
Tell me where would I be now
Without you
Where would I turn
To find the truth i need
I could never go back
To where i used to be
I've got so used to having
All the love you give to me
Tell me where would I
Be without you now
Ever time i stumble or i fall
I call you name and you'll be there
Or if i should fly too high
I know that your love will reach me
Anywhere
I could never go back
To where i used to be
I've got so used to having
All the love you give to me
Tell me where would i be now
Without you
Would i be lost, just drifting out to sea
If i could start all over
I wouldn't change a thing
'Cause i know you'll always
Be there through thick and thin
Tell me where would i
Baby, it's a dream come true
Walking right alongside of you
Wish, I could tell you how much I care
But I only have the nerve to stare
I can feel a new expression on my face
I can feel a glowing sensation taking place
I can hear the guitars playing lovely tunes
Every time that you walk in the room
I close my eyes for a second and pretend it's me you want
Meanwhile, I try and act so nonchalant
I see a summer night with a magic moon
Every time that you walk in the room
Baby, it's a dream come true
Walking right alongside of you
Wish, I could tell you how much I care
But I only have the nerve to stare
Yeah, yeah, I can hear something pounding in my brain
Every time that someone speaks your name
Trumpets sounding, I hear love in bloom
Every time that you walk in the room
Every time that you walk in the room
Oh yeah
Every time you walk
I feel a brand new way
What Does It Take to win your love for me?
How can I make this dream come true for me?
Oh, I just got to know,
Oh! Baby, 'cause I love you so,
Gonna blow for you.
I've tried, I've tried, I've tried,
I've tried in ev'ry way I could to make you see how much I love you.
Oh! I thought you understood.
So you gotta make me see,
see trees of green
red roses to
I see them bloom for me and you
and I think to myself
what a wondeful world
I see skies of blue
and clouds of white
the bright blessed day
and the dark sacred night
and I think to myself what a wondeful world.
The colours of the rainbow so pretty in the sky are also of the faces of people going by
I see friedns shaking hands saying
How do you do?
Their really saying I love you
I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
they'll learn much more than I will ever no
and I think to myself
What a wondeful world
Yes, I tink to myself
If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe
that you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
in private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by
I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by
and walk on by
and walk by (don't stop)
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by (don't stop)
and walk on by (don't stop)
I ain't got time to think about money or what it can buy
And I ain't got time to sit down and wonder at what make the birdies fly.
I don't have time to think about what makes the flowers grow,
Ain't never give it a thought to where the rivers flow.
Ain't got time for nothin' else.
I ain't got time to discuss the weather, or know what's going on,
And I ain't got time to do no studying once I get out of class.
And I'm just a fellow with a one track mind, and when it comes to thinkin'
About anything but my baby, I just don't have time.
Ain't got time for nothin' else.
I ain't got time to read a newspaper or look at T.V.
'Cause I'm not concerned with what the future holds in store for me.
I'm just a fellow with a one track mind, and when it comes to thinkin' about
I remember you
Innocent and Young
Smiling back at me
There and then
I knew you were the one
The answer to my prayers
Right in front of me
Now I realise
Heaven must have known we'd always be
Together
Lovers whatever
Together
Now an dforever
Out into the world
With nothing but a dream
Somehow we survived
I believe we're always meant to be
Together
Lovers whatever
Together
Now and forever
I've fooled around sometimes
But you know there's nothing further
From my mind
And there's no doubt
Now I know what love
Is all about
When the times were tought
Had our backs against the wall
Standing side by side
We can say that we've
Come through it all
Together
Lovers whatever
Together
It felt so good when she told me
I need somebody just to hold me, tonight
Now what could I say
I closed the door now behind me
She dimmed the light
That's when I should have mentioned
It just ain't right
Every thought was in my head
But the words remained unsaid
It was on the it of my tongue
I tried to raise my resistance
I couldn't fight her insistence
Two rights still make it wrong
I guess that she found my weakness
I just wasn't strong
I shouldn't' ever have been there
I should have been long gone
Well my mind was in one place
It was written on my face
It was on the tip of my tongue
Every thought was in my head
But the words remained unsaid
It was on the it of my tongue
I guess I should have known better
I should have told here when I met her
Two rights still make a wrong
It's easy to point the finger
But I'm not ashamed
It's just the laws of convention
Says I'm to blame
Every thought was in my head
But the words remained unsaid
Say nothing, I will understand
I'm on your side, I'm your biggest fan
You don't need to tell me, any precious lies
Cos I won't believe them, when I look in your eyes
Every kiss from your lips sends a message
Every touch of your hand, tells me so
In my heart I'm already missing you
Darlin' I know, it's time to let go
I'm tryin' to convince myself
When I tell you, I will just find somebody else
Cos I know inside me, it will only be
Because I realise, you'd truly do the same for me
Every kiss from your lips sends a message
Every touch of your hand, tells me so
In my heart I'm already missing you
Darlin' I know, it's time to let go
Maybe I just need to get used to it and I'll be fine
Cos I think I recognise
One by one those tell tale signs
Don't worry, you could never hide
Anything from me, I know you're cryin' deep inside
Every kiss from your lips sends a message
Every touch of your hand, tells me so
In my heart I'm already missing you
Darlin' I know, it's time to let go
Every kiss from your lips sends a message
Every touch of your hand, tells me so
In my heart I'm already missing you
I’ve hidden in the silence
Then I took it far away
I was living in the distance
In the corners of my day
You came into my life
And centered all my fears
Loving you is everything
The meaning to these years
Partners in time
Partners today
Walking through problems
That might have come out way
‘Cause when all is said and done
There’s no need for me to run
You’re the only one
The only one I love
We turned over the pages
And saw the pictures there
The color might be fading
But I can see it clear
You walked into my life
And balanced every word
Loving you is everything
Everything I’ve heard
Partners in time
Partners today
Walking through problems
That might have come our way
‘Cause when all is said and done
You’re the only one I love
You’re the only one the only one I love
Once I had a reason
To run and hide from you
Hiding in the silence
Was all I ever used to do
But now I know the feeling
Must be al about believing
You’re the only one
Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door
I know that I'm a prisoner
To all my father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years
Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've got
You say you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
You just can't get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking in defence
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye
So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It's the bitterness that lasts
So don't yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different day
And if you don't give up, and don't give in
You may just be O.K.
Chorus
I wasn't there that morning
When my father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to say
I think I called his spirit
Later that same year
I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping on your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa's on his way;
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
And every mother's child is going to spy,
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Although its been said many times, many ways,
bought a toothbrush, some tooth paste,
A flannel for my face,
Pajamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case.
I said to my reflection, "Let's get out of this place."
Past the church and the steeple; the lorrie on the hill.
he billboards and the buildings, the mem'ries of it still
Keeps falling and calling, but forget it all--
I know I will...
Chorus:
Tempted by the fruit of another.
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other.
I'm at the car park, the airport, the baggage carosel.
The people keep on flying, I'm wishing I was well.
I said, "It's no occassion."
It's no story I can tell.
At my bedside empty pocket.
A foot without a sock.
Your body get much closer;
I fumble for the clock.
Alarmed by
the seduction...
I wish
That it would stop...
Chorus
I bought a novel, some perfume, a fortune over you.
But it's not my conscience
That hates to be untrue.
I said to my reflection, "Tell me what am I to do?"
Chorus
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain.
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain.
The dark days are gone, and the bright days are here,
My sunny one shines so sincere.
Sunny one so true, I love you.
Sunny, thank you for the sunshine bouquet.
Sunny, thank you for the love you brought my way.
You gave to me your all and all.
Now I feel ten feet tall.
Sunny one so true, I love you.
Sunny
The dark days are gone, and the bright days are here,
My sunny one shines so sincere.
Sunny one so true, I love you.
Sunny, thank you for the smile upon your face.
Sunny, thank you for the gleam that shows its grace.
Youre my spark of natures fire,
Youre my sweet complete desire.
Sunny one so true, I love you.
Sunny, thank you for the truth you let me see.
Sunny, thank you for the facts from a to c.
My life was torn like a windblown sand,
And the rock was formed when you held my hand.
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,
Ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "yoo hoo",
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
Let's go, Let's look at the show,
We're riding in a wonderland of snow.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, gidd yap,
It's grand, Just holding your hand,
We're gliding along with a song
Of a wintry fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.
There's a birthday party
At the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs
We love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch
The chestnuts pop. pop! pop! pop!
There's a happy feeling
Nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffe and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Iives
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives!
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,
Ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "yoo hoo",
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling like Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
Strings of street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all the bustle you hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Take the children and yourself
And hide out in the cellar
By now the fighting will be close at hand
Don't believe the church and state
And everything they tell you
Believe in me, I'm with the high command
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
There's a gun and ammunition
Just inside the doorway
Use it only in emergency
Better you should pray to God
The Father and the Spirit
Will guide you and protect from up here
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Swear allegiance to the flag
Whatever flag they offer
Never hint at what you really feel
Teach the children quietly
For some day sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me running (can you hear me calling you?)
(Can you hear me) hear me calling you?
(Can you hear me running) hear me running babe?
(Can you hear me running) hear me running?
Satisfy my soul, let the day begin
Make the evening roll, let the big sky in
Satisfy my heart, it's so good to feel
Love is all around, and all the hurt will heal
Oh, this is what my heart needs to feel
Oh, this is what my heart needs to feel
Satisfy my soul, take away this pain
Something has to end,to begin again
Satisfy my heart, it's so good to feel
Love is all around, and all the hurt will heal
Oh healing, every moment, every wish you have comes true
Healing, every feeling, that is about to come to you
Satisfy my soul, let the day begin
Make the evening roll, let the big sky in
Satisfy my heart, it's so good to feel
Love is all around, and all the hurt will heal
Oh this is what my heart needs to feel
Oh this is what my heart needs to feel
(Whoo, to feel)
Oh this is what my heart needs to feel
(Need to feel baby)
Oh this is what my heart needs to feel
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
Rocking around the Christmas tree
at the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
every couple tries to stop
Rocking around the Christmas tree,
let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
and we'll do some caroling.
You will get a sentimental
feeling when you hear
Voices singing let's be jolly,
deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rocking around the Christmas tree,
have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily
in the new old-fashioned way.
You will get a sentimental

There's a light that shines on
Everyone tonight
But it seems we're just too blind to see
There's a love that's so deep
We should never want
But do we really know what we need?
I never thought there would be
Someone who'd mean so much to me
In my mind there was no
Such thing as perfect love
But now I'm holding you tonight
And I can see that you were right
To believe there can be perfect love
You can live your whole life trying to avoid
Being hurt, like you've been hurt before
Then oneday you may wake up
And feel a love so strong
That you can't hold it back anymore
I never thought that there could be
Someone who'd mean so much to me
In my mind there was no
Such thing as perfect love
But now I'm holding you so tonight
And I can see that you were right
To believe there could be perfect love
Ever since you called my name
Nothing's ever been the same
I want to give my heart to you
And your perfect love so true
Oh your perfect love
But now you're here with me tonight
And I can see that you were right
Looking back
over my shoulders
i can see
that look in your eyes
i never dreamed
it could be over
i never wanted
to say goodbye
looking back
over my shoulder
with an acing
deep in my heart
.........
....
always let it drifting
so far apart
everybody told me you will leave me
funny i should be the last to know
baby please tell me that i'm dreaming
i just never want to let you go
looking back
over my shoulder
i can see
that look in your eyes
telling my ....
over and over
i never wanted
to say goodbye
i don't mind everybody laughing
but it's enough to make an old man cry
cause i can feel you slipping through my fingers
i don't even know the reason why
everyday
..... battels
and just a smile
to hold my head up high
could it be
if we belong together
baby won't you give me one more try
looking back
over my shoulders
i can see
that look in your eyes
i never dreamed
it could be over
well i never wanted
In my darkest hour
when I had no friends
I was looking down a long road
And I thought I'd never get it right again
I called you nave And I wouldn't learn
I was running out of answers
And it seemed to be the only way left to turn
I don't know why baby
I let it tear me all apart
I didn't need a fool's advice
I only listen to my heart
Only me heart can tell
Only me heart can tell
Only me heart can tell
I've spent a lot of time
Listening to my mind
I was runnin' around in circles
Like a lost baby
Looking for a sign
I've shed a lot of tears
Now I see it clear
Well my change is coming soon
I can feel it getting near
Well I don't know why baby
I let it tear me all apart
I didn't need a fool's advice
This time I listened to my heart
Only me heart can tell
Only me heart can tell
Since you ask me what it takes to love me
Get it straight right from the start
You've got to move me got to get this to me
Keep it coming right from the heart
Then oh oh oh my my my
I will never let you down
Oh oh oh my my my lovers make this world go around
You've got to keep it uncomplicated
If you see my point of view
Plain and simply stated you must do what you must do
A lot of people spend their lifetime searching
Getting more and having less
You and me though
Now we've got this working every move is happiness
Then oh oh oh my my my
Talkers talking, preachers preaching
Making life a misery
If they could feel every night what we feel
They'd wish they were you and me
Outside in the pouring rain
I walked the lonely streets and searched in vain
Every corner of every street
And every doorway where we used to meet
As I turned to walk away I could swear I saw your face
Long into the night I see
Shadows dancing alone with me
I know it must be
Nothing more than a memory
I try to keep my hurt inside
With some resemblance of my broken pride
I've done everything that I can do
I can't face the thought of losing you
And as I turn to walk away
I thought I saw your face again
Long into the night
People say that I'm crazy
I'm being weak when I should be strong
Traffic - No Face No Name No Number
I'm looking for a girl who has no face
She has no name, or number
And so I search within his lonely place
Knowing that I won't find her
Well, I can't stop this feeling deep in inside me
Ruling my mind
I feel no sound
Don't know where I'm bound
The scenery is all the same to me
Nothing has changed or faded
I'm a part of it, some part of me
Painted cool green, and shaded
So, try to find myself must be the only way
Blue eyes that are open wide
As warn as the sun
She's my girl
Any fool can see
'Cause one smile would melt the snow
Where she goes I want to go
She stays on my wind
Because she's my kind
Her hair falling down my face
Shining like gold
She's my girl
Any fool can see
I don't have to tell you why
When I leave it's gonna make me cry
She stays on my mind
Because she's my kind
You know she's my kind
And I love I love her so
I'm gonna be there 'till the day I die
My baby told me that she's coming home again
I can see here smiling face pictured in my mind
When she's gone, my heart is filled with pain
I'm like a dong been left out in the remain
Why she left I just don't understand
Till she's here I'm an unhappy man
Without her I am loveless
I'm just a hopeless case
I am loveless
Since she's been gone I've been hurtin' for the longest time
I wanna give back some lovin'
and make her glad she's mine
Whe she's gone I'm searching for her face
I miss her smile and I need here warm embrace
She took here love, why I don't understand
Now all that's left is just a shadow of a man
Without her I am loveless
I'm just a hopeless case
I am loveless
I say a prayer every night
That she's coming back to stay
No I never ever gave her a reason to ever go away, no way
Now I know exactly what I need
To have her back, hold her next to me
There'll never be another lonely hour
For me to count the times, I've been without her
Without her I am loveless
I'm just a hopeless case
I am loveless
You can give or take
Bend or break
Its a lesson in love
You can laugh or cry
But eye to eye
You're due to find out
You're sure to find out there ain't no rules
You can win or lose
But you can't choose
That's a lesson in love
There's nothing for nothing
Don't wait until tomorrow
It's a lesson in love
A lesson in love
It's a lesson in love (gonna teach you a lesson)
It's a lesson in love (that's what your missin')
It's a lesson in love (you better pay attention)
It's a lesson in love
You can win okay
Bend or break
Its a lesson in love
You can laugh or cry
But eye to eye
You're sure to find out
You're sure to find out there ain't no rules
And only made for same fools
Lesson in love
A lesson in love
It's a lesson in love (gonna teach you a lesson)
It's a lesson in love (that's what your missin')
It's a lesson in love (you better pay attention)
Lesson in love

It's a lesson in love
Ohh, it's a lesson in love (gonna teach you a lesson)
It's a lesson in love (that's what your missin')
It's a lesson in love (you better pay attention)
I need to hear it, one word from your heart
All you ever give me, is it goes without saying
You leave it unspoken, the message is loud and clear
Here in the silence where it goes without saying
Well it goes without saying
I'm feeling like a fool for hanging on
And if it goes without saying much longer I'm gone
You take it for granted, as if I can read your mind
I'm left with a question that never gets answered
I don't want this feeling of wondering where I stand
I won't even ask you if you're gonna tell me
It goes without saying
How am I supposed to know what's going on
If it goes without saying much longer I'm gone
Why should I cry? , why lie to myself any longer
If it goes without saying, I'm feeling like a fool
For hanging on
When it goes without saying, baby there's no way to know
What's going on
If it goes without saying much longer, I don't know how i
Can say it any stronger if it goes without saying much
Longer,
It's not too late to bring about a change
It's not too late to learn from it all
By your mistakes
Now's time to look at yourself
See just what you are made of
You've got to try and see
One day soon you might fall right back on your feet
And then the devil you know
Is gonna have to let go
And free your soul again
There nowhere to hide babe
Love calls out your name
It ain't a question of pride
I need to hear you say
It ain't over 'til it's over
I will never quit 'til I get to the bottomline
It ain't over (no) 'til it's over
And I don't accept that I'm livin' on borrowed time
You know and I know
Somewhere in your heart is love
Though I ought to know you better
I'm a fool to myself
Before we pay the price
Listen now to my advice
You know the power of love
Is the one thing you need by your side
It ain't over (no) 'til it's over
I can never quit 'til I get to the bottomline
It ain't over (no) 'til it's over
And I still believe that's it's all gonna work out fine
It ain't over (no) 'til it's over
I can never quit 'til I get to the bottomline
It ain't over (no) 'til it's over
And I still believe that's it's all gonna work out fine
It ain't over, oh no, 'til it's over babe
It ain't over baby
Whoo, it ain't over baby 'til it's over now
I won't never quit, no no
No I will never quit 'til it's over baby now
(It ain't over) I'll get to the bottomline
Everything gonna work out fine
Said ....
(It ain't over) I ain't gonna stop
Keep on going 'til I drop
It ain't over 'til it's over
Ooh, I'll get to the bottomline
It's gonna have to get up, gonna work out fine
It ain't over 'til it's over
It ain't over
Mama said everybody is play
We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Had our bodies both as one as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when the fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it
And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And magnificently we will flow into the mystic
When that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I don't have to fear it
And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will flow into the mystic
Come on girl...
No matter what you do
I never get used to you
You always change
You're never the same
You can put up the fight
Whether you're wrong or right
It's nothing new you never lose
That's why
You still inspire me
Sometimes you lose control
That's when it's touch and go
If I should stay
Or be on my way
You know it's not hard to see
We've got the chemistry
That keeps us alive
Stop right there and listen,
Before you say something you might regret
I know something's missing
But I can't begin to accept what you said
Maybe, you can show me
Exactly where I'm goin' wrong
Cos lately I've been thinking
Maybe I've been round here too long
If you'd ever needed someone in your life
Maybe then you'd know
Why my heart just wants you to stay
But my head tells me lo let her go
If you'd ever needed someone
One way or another
Whatever I do it seems you criticize
Is there any wonder
The hurt that I feel is so thinly disguised
I can't help but notice
Little things that tell me so much
Is it only a matter of time
Before I'm missing your tender touch?
If you'd ever needed someone in your life
Maybe then you'd know
Why my heart just wants you to stay
But my head tells me to let her go
If you'd ever needed someone
If you'd put yourself in my place
You could never say what's gone is gone
I live on a battlefield
Surrounded by the ruined of the love we built
And then destroyed between us
The smoke has cleared
As I stumble through the rubble
I'm dazed, seeing double
And I'm truly mystified
My one home, is a shell hole filled
With tears and muddy water and bits of broken heart
All around, there is desolation
Scenes of devastation
Of a love been torn apart
I live on a battlefield
Though one where not on single drop of blood has spilled
Is no less horrifying
Sweet memoirs Of a bygone situation
Lie shattered, lord and battered
And scattered all around
My one home, is a shell hole filled
With tears and muddy water and bits of broken heart
All around, there is desolation
Scenes of devastation
Of a love been torn apart
Living on a battlefield
I can't hold on baby, oh no
I live on a battlefield, hey
My one home, is a shell hole filled
With tears and muddy water and bits of broken heart
All around, there is desolation
Scenes of devastation
Of a love been torn apart
Aw, baby
I can't go on
Living on a battlefield
Aw, baby
Hey baby
Hey baby
I live on a battlefield
I can't go on
I can't go on
Tears and muddy watter baby
I live on a battlefield
Scattered all around are bits of broken heart
I live on a battlefield
Aw baby
Ummm
Everybody loves to feel the beat
From Malibu to 42nd Street
I like to groove no matter where I am
From Detroit City down to Alabam
It has moved me heart and soul
So I do believe
It's a whole philosophy to me
A good groove will turn your head around
Lifts you up when you're feeling down
Get your body moving into gear
That's why the world's been turning all these years
It ain't written in the statute books
It can't be learned in school
It's the law, baby
It's the golden rule
I live by the groove
I live by the groove
If I can't feel it, baby
I can't move
I live by the groove
I live by the groove
If I can hear it, baby
I can't lose
All right
It ain't written in the statute books
It can't be learned in school
It's the law, baby
It's the golden rule
I live by the groove
I live by the groove
I live by the groove
I live by the groove
Hey hey hey hey
I live by the groove
If I can't feel it, baby
Well, I can't move
I live by the groove
I live by the groove
If I can hear it, baby
I can't lose
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I live by the groove
If I can't feel it, baby
I can't move
I live by the groove
I live by the groove
If I can hear it, baby
I can't lose
I live by the groove
I live by the groove
I live by the groove
I live by the groove
If I can't feel it, baby
I can't move
Said I live by the groove
I live by, live by live by, live by the groove
If I can't hear it
I can't move
I live by the groove
If I can't feel it, baby
I can't move
New York city
It's not the first time
That I've had the sense that something's wrong
But I'm old enough to know
That things don't always work out like they should
I know you're tryin' hard
To break it gently to me, now
But there's no easy way
To tell it like it is, so baby...
I don't want to hear any more
You don't need to tell me it's over
I've been here before
I've seen that look before
I know it well; it comes as no surprise
You've been avoiding me
But now you want to talk it over
Before you take my hand
And tell me softly in a whisper
There's no need to explain
I've read the book; I know how this all ends
I don't want to hear any more
You don't need to tell me it's over
I've been here before
I won't ask you to stay
I won't stand in your way
Look me right in the eyes
Let me walk away with my head high
If there's some other guy
I don't need to know why
But I don't want to hear any more
You don't need to tell me it's over
I've been here before
I won't ask you to stay
I won't stand in your way
And I don't want to hear any more
No, no, baby
how wonderful life can be
How happy is another day
All you know is all you feel
Till it's passed you by
How wonderful life can be
How come you walked this way?
All you know is all you feel
Sometimes it makes me cry
The kids are in the street
The sun is in the sky
I'm still their old fool
They're the apple of my eye
The dog barks at the gate
The rain pretends to fall
I'm still in love with you
The fear?s not there at all
How wonderful life can be how happy is another day
All you know is all you feel
Until it's passed you by
How wonderful life can be
How come you walked this way?
All you know is all you hear
Sometimes it makes me cry
The colors of the season
Changing day by day
The leaves already falling
A cold win's on it?s way
And how I have a reason
To settle back and say
How wonderful life's become
Hey you
Out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you
Standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you
Don't help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight
Hey you
Out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you
With your ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you
Would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home
But it was only fantasy
The wall was too high, as you can see
No matter how he tried he could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain
Hey you
Out there on the road
Always doing what you're told
Can you help me?
Hey you
Out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall
Can you help me?
Hey you
Don't tell me there's no hope at all
TAKE THE RIBBONS FROM YOUR HAIR.
SHAKE IT LOOSE AND LET IT FALL
LAY IT SOFT UPON MY SKIN
LIKE THE SHADOWS ON THE WALL
COME AND LAY DOWN BY MY SIDE
'TIL THE EARLY MORNING LIGHT
ALL I'M TAKING IS YOUR TIME
HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT
I DON'T CARE WHAT'S RIGHT OR WRONG
I DON'T TRY TO UNDERSTAND
LET THE DEVIL TAKE TOMORROW
FOR TONIGHT I NEED A FRIEND
YESTERDAY IS DEAD AND GONE
AND TOMORROW'S OUT OF SIGHT
AND IT'S SAD TO BE ALONE
I cant believe its been so long
How have you been?
We've got so much to catch up on
I'm so happy to see you again.
Ive been meaning to call you
I don't know how many times
Ive got your number embedded in the back of my mind
I looked you up in the phone book
But you've been moving around
I've been keeping my head to the grid
I cant believe its been so long
How have you been?
We've got so much to catch up on
I'm so happy to see you again
Are you still on the same number
Or have you changed
I meant to write you a letter
I'm so happy to see you again.
Well I was hoping to see you
Before you went away
I started making a list of all I wanted to say
I meant to send you a letter
But its the letter my case
Now its staring me right in the face
Ohhhh i cant believe its been so long
How have you been
We were just talking about you
I'm so happy to see yo again
Are you still on the same number?
Or have you changed
Why don't we all get together
I'm so happy to see you again
Even now and then
I hope its not too late
I don't know if you care
But I still think we were great
I can't believe its been so long
How have you been
We've got so much to catch up on
I'm so happy to see you again
Are you still on the same number
Or have you changed
I was just just talking about you
I'm so happy to see you again
Looking good
Looking fine
Happy to see you again
And you still haven't changed
Happy to see you again
Ohh yea, happy to see you
Got your number, you're still there
Groovin' . . . on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon
I can't imagine anything that's better
The world is ours whenever we're together
There ain't a place I'd like to be instead of . . .
Groovin' . . . down a crowded avenue
Doin' anything we like to do
There's always lots of things that we can see
We can be anyone we want to be
And all those happy people we could meet just . . .
Groovin' . . . on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha
We'll keep on spending sunny days this way
We're gonna talk and laugh our time away
I feel it comin' closer day by day
Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly . . .
Groovin' . . . on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha
Why wait any longer darling?
Why wait in vain?
Why look for something
when something’s there?
Why are you twisted around
his little finger
when you should be aware
young hearts are easily broken
if they’re not handled with care?
Why live on dreams?
Why live on dreams?
Give me a chance
To show you love
Say you will
Ah say you will
Give me a chance darling
To show you love
Say you will
say you will
you´re counting every single minute
every hour he´s been away
meanwhile he´s out there with somebody
and it makes me mad to see you this way
he’s working so long in his hard earned reputation
as the man about the town
but he can’t live up to expectations
you´re all built up for him to knock down
Why live on dreams?
Why live on dreams?
Give me a chance darling
To show you love
Say you will
Ah say you will
Give me a chance
To show you love
Darling say you will
Ah say you will
I don´t even mind if it’s
Him that you really love
Give me a chance
To show you love
say you will
Ah say you will
Give me a chance darling
To show you love
say you will
Since this morning I've been thinking how
Things have changed between the two of us
We've been falling through the here and now
It's time for us to reinvest our trust
Can't you see for once in our lives
Now our love has finally come to ground
This flame we have is burning so bright
Burning for ever, now we're back together
Since this morning I've been asking why
Why we let this sweet love slip away
When we knew love, was for you and I
The reason we could face the darkest days
Can't we see for once in our lives
All the things we wanted have appeared
Now that we have love realized
Realized forever
For once in our lives there's no turning back
No running away and no covering our tracks
For once in our lives there's no one to blame
No broken hearts 'cause we've found love again
For once, for once in our lives
Since this morning I've been so relieved
There's no more pressure from within
I had this sense that you would get to see
There was no lasting love within
Can't we see for once in our lives
Love has every angel on our day
Hey, now I see there is a spy in your eyes
Everything has fallen, fallen into place
For once in our lives there's no turning back
No running away and no covering our tracks
For once in our lives there's no one to blame
No broken hearts 'cause we've found love again
For once, for once in our lives
Maybe we can't believe
How things can be so wrong
Maybe it's time that we learn
To reach out for the feeling of love
For once in our lives there's no turning back
No running away and no covering our tracks
For once in our lives there's no one to blame
No broken hearts 'cause we've found love again
For once, for once in our lives
For once in our lives there's no turning back
No running away and no covering our tracks
For once in our lives there's no one to blame
No broken hearts 'cause we've found love again
For once, for once in our lives
For once in our lives
For once in our lives
For once in our lives
There's been no turning back
No more covering our tracks
No turning back
There's no one to blame
No we've found love again
For once, for once in our lives
There's been no turning back
No turning back
There's no more covering our tracks
I want to know how does it feel
Behind those eyes of blue
You've made your mistakes
And now your heart aches
Behind those eyes of blue
People may say you've had your chance
And let it slip away
But hard as they try
There's a dream that won't die
Behind those eyes of blue
Maybe once in a while
There's a trace of a smile
Behind those eyes of blue
But it's painfully clear
There's a river of tears
Behind those eyes of blue
You know life is too short
For comprimising
Take a hold of your dream
And realise it
You know there's nothing left
To stand in your way
Except yourself and I know
Though your hearts full of pain
That a hope still remains
Don't give my heart a break
Don't give it an ache for heavens sake
I'm on my knees now pretty please
Don't give my heart a break
Don't give my heart a break
Don't put the pressure on me precious
Take about as much as it can take
Don't give my heart a break oh - oh
Well I thought this heart has beaten love for sure
It's never missed this many beats before
This heart can't get arrested any more
Cause I feel it starting to crack
It's under attack
Don't give my heart a break
Don't give it a shake - for heaven's sake
I'm on my knees now pretty please
Don't give my heart a break
Don't give my heart a break
How I wish that it would let up - i'd be set up
If I had a pound for every pound
I'd buy my heart a break
Can I buy my heart a break wo - wo
Don't give my heart a break
Isn't it a shame, isn't it a crime
Can I buy my heart a little more time
Some time cause
I thought this heart had beaten love for sure
But it never missed this many beats before
This heart can't get arrested any more
Cause I feel it atarting to crack
There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
Theres a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But youll never see the end of the road
While youre travelling with me
Hey now, hey now
Dont dream its over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they wont win
Now Im towing my car, theres a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but theres no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the t.v. page
Hey now, hey now
Dont dream its over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they wont win
Now Im walking again to the beat of a drum
And Im counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief
Hey now, hey now
Dont dream its over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
I just wanna tell you
MY love is here to stay
Girl you know that's one thing that will never fade away
I'm dedicated to you
You know there is no need to run
There's no need to hide
Whatever comes between us baby
I will push aside
I'm dedicated to you
Well my heart's an open book
I don't care how long it takes for you to look
don't let me be underrated
I'm dedicated
There's no use denying
That you I've heard it all from me
I wish there was some way
I could make you see
I'm dedicated to you
How can I understand it
I don't even try
There's no need to question
Maybe that is why
I'm dedicated all to you
The longer it takes
The more I see
This is the way
It's supposed to be
Don't let me be underrated
I`ve heard the word going `round town
They say that you`re making a fool out of me
Baby it took me some time to come `round
To realize you were not what you seem
Each day`s passing the clock`s been my friend
Helped me get back on my feet again
Like a button off my shirt
Just an everyday distraction
You`d be over reacting if you think that I still hurt
You`re just a button off my shirt and someday I will replace you
I don`t care what I have lost
You got what you deserve
I was down, down, down..I was down
I`m not the first and I won`t be the last
To make the mistake of believing in you
I don`t intend to live in the past
Just like they say..some you win, some you lose
You never loved me and you made it plain
Now it`s my turn and I`m playing your game
Like a button off my shirt
Just an everyday distraction
You`d be over reacting if you think that I still hurt
You`re just a button off my shirt and some day I will replace you
I don`t care what I have lost
You got what you deserve
Love and affection
You started changing directions
You threw it away
Girl, you threw it away
You never loved me and you made it plain
Now it`s my turn to make you understand
Like a button off my shirt
Just an everyday distraction
You`d be over reacting, if you think that I still hurt
You`re just a button off my shirt, and someday I will replace you
I don`t care what I have lost
You got what you deserved
Like the button off my shirt
Just an everyday distraction
You`d be over reacting if you think that I still hurt
You`re just a button off my shirt and someday I will replace you
I don`t care what I have lost you got what you deserved
Like a button off my shirt
Just an everyday distraction
You`d be over reacting, if you think that I still hurt
Thinking on now How I feel
I-got a rough thing On a lousy deal
Heaven knows i'm not a greedy man
If I can't have all your love I'll get what I can
Better than nothing I can't deny
Better than nothing A-poke in the eye
Better than nothing Just a little taste
Better than nothing Won't go to waste
There's no use crying Because I guess
There's a lot of people Making do it less
It makes no sense now To cry and plea
If I can have all your love I'll get what I need
Better than nothing I can't deny
Better than nothing A-poke in the eye
Better than nothing Just a little taste
Better than nothing Won't go to waste
There's got the be whole better way
I can't get my head around this living day to day
Buying time is all I can do
Right now every second I can spend whit you
Better than nothing I can't deny
Better than nothing A-poke in the eye
Better than nothing Just a little taste
Better than nothing Won't go to waste

Beautiful world, you taught me to remember
All the feelings, I lost along the way
I was afraid, alone in my confusion
Running and hiding 'stead of living from day to day
When we were walking, we touched the summer flowers
And I saw the wonder, oh in a young child's eye
Well I looked around and saw how truly grateful
That I should be for all the love I've found
Beautiful world well you shook me to my senses
And opened my eyes to the love inside of me
It's up to me, if I can always believe
In the way I see it now, what a beautiful world
I live on a battlefield
Surrounding by the ruins of a love we built
And them destroyed between us
The smoke has cleared
As I stumble through the rubble
I'm dazed, seeing double
And I'm truly mystified
My new home is a shell-hole filled
With tears and muddy water
And bits of broken heart
All around, there is desolation
Scenes of devestation
Of a love been torn apart
I live on a battlefield
Though one where not one
Single drop of blood has spilled
Is no less horryfying
Sweet memories
Of a bygone situation
Lie shattered, torn and battered
And scattered all around
My new home is a shell-hole filled
With tears and muddy water
And bits of broken heart
All around, there is desolation
Scenes of devestation
Of a love been torn apart
Everything that can, has gone wrong
It's gonna take spine to carry on
Like a drownin' woman coming up for air
I'm looking for another survivor
I can't see one anywhere
My new home is a shell-hole filled
With tears and muddy water
And bits of broken heart
All around, there is desolation
Scenes of devestation
Of a love been torn apart
I live on a battlefield, hey
I live on a battlefield, hey
Can't go on, baby
Tears and muddy water
Scattered all around me, babe
I live on a battlefield
Hmmm
Well, I opened your last letter
Thinking things could only get better
But it was bad news at the best of times
Tap water dressed as tears
I know that trick through all these years
But it was bad news at the best of times
Some things just cannot be expressed
And some bad things we do for the best
It would have been bad news at the best of times
It would have been bad news at the best of times
Had my tongue in my cheek when you were mind
It would have been bad news at the best of times whooo
My eyes are tired and itching
Got me walking round the kitchen
It would have been bad news at the best of times
Started coughing once too often
I can't stop till I don't think of you
It would have been bad news at the best of times
What price for tomorrow's bride
Widowed when her daydream died?
It would have been bad news at the best of times
Bad news best of times
I used to wake up laughing, huh, when you were mine
It would have been bad news at the best of times
Baby baby, believe in me just one more time
I've never asked you to before
I'm as guilty as the day I was born
Of begging you, pleading you
Loving you and needing you
When things go this wrong
Next time I'd be so strong
It would have been bad news at the best of times
Driving backwards in a hearse
Thinking things can't get any worse
It would have been bad news at the best of times
The camera never lies for sure, baby that's for sure
But you're a sight for these eyes so sore
It would have been bad news at the best of times
It would have been bad news at the best of times
It's stronger than memories when you were mine
It would have been bad news at the best of times
It would have been bad news at the best of times
I used to wake up laughing
It would have been bad news at the best of times
When you were mine, baby
Oooh oooh
Had my tongue in my cheek
It would have been bad news at the best of times
Sing it
Oooh oooh yeah
Bad news
Baby, I need your lovin';
Baby, I need your lovin';
Although you're never near,
Your voice I often hear.
Another day, 'nother night,
I long to hold you tight,
'Cause I'm so lonely.
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'.
Baby I need your lovin';
Got to have all you lovin'.
Some say it's a sign of weakness
For a man to beg.
Then weak I'd rather be,
If it means having you to keep,
'Cause lately I've been losing sleep.
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'.
Baby I need your lovin';
Got to have all you lovin'.
Lonely nights echo your name,
Oh, sometimes I wonder
Will I ever be the same?
Oh yeah! When you see me smiling,
You know things have gotten worse.
Any smile you might see has all been rehearsed.
Darling, I can't go on without you.
This emptiness won't let me live without you;
This loneliness inside, darling,
Makes me feel half alive.
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'.
Baby I need your lovin';
Got to have all you lovin'.
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'.
Baby I need your lovin';
Got to have all you lovin'.
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'.
Baby I need your lovin';
Any day now I will hear you say "Goodbye, my love"
And you'll be on your way
Then my wild beautiful bird, you will have flown, oh
Any day now I'll be all alone, whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa
Any day now, when your restless eyes meet someone new
Oh, to my sad surprise
Then the blue shadows will fall all over town, oh
Any day now love will let me down, whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa
Oh my wild beautiful bird, you will have flown, oh
Any day now I'll be all alone
I know I shouldn't want to keep you
If you don't want to stay-ay
Until you go forever
I'll be holding on for dear life
Holding you this way
Begging you to stay
Any day now when the clock strikes "Go"
You'll call it off
And then my tears will flow
Then the blue shadows will fall all over town, oh
Any day now love will let me down cuz you won't be around
Don't fly away, my beautiful bird
If you're wondering if your love
Will stand the test of time
I'm here to tell you I can put your mind at ease
Ain't nothing in the whole wide world
That could ever make me leave
How could I ever walk away
Darlin', I need your love each and every day
Always have, always will
If you should ask me, do I love you still?
Without shame, without blame
I always have and always will
I always have and always will
I remember there were times
When my heart could not conceive
Something so beautiful could happen in this life
A precious gift to me worth and sacrifice
There is no doubt or mystery
It's obvious that you mean everything to me
Always have, always will
It was almost like your heart called out my name
I was helpless from the start
I knew right there and then I'd never be the same
Never never
I tried so hard to make alone
I was only wasting time, I should have known
The love of a woman is hard to find, I suppose
I've been looking my life better than most I know
Days and nights we toss and turn and fight
Always one thing leads to another
One man's cloud is another man's cover
It's always better with you
It's always better with you
I gave you my heart, cause you were the only one
Who could ever see that the man in me was the only one
Soon I found I'd been on stony ground
Slowly one thing lead to another
One man's cloud is another man's cover
It's always better with you
It's always better with you
I I I I I tried so hard to make it alone
I was only wasting time, I should have knonw
That the love of a woman is hard to find, I suppose
I've been looking my life better than most I know
Days and nights we toss and turn and fight
Always one thing leads to another
One man's cloud is another man's cover
It's always better with you
It's always better with you
Always better with you
Always better with you
Always better with you
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long anytime she goes away.
Wonder this time where she's gone,
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone,
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone, only darkness everyday.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.
Baby, since you been around.
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity, child
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.
Every place that I go,
Well, it seems so strange.
Without you love, baby, baby,
Things have changed.
Now that you're gone
Y'know the sun don't shine,
From the city hall
To the county line, that's why
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.

Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around,
Tell me babe, I wanna know
What it is that makes me love you so
Makes me reap what I've already sown
After the love is gone
Time to change is on my mind
You won't be hurting any other guy
Maybe I'll just have a secret cry
After the love is gone
Time to change I should've known
Say goodbye tell me to my face
I will never be fooled again
Our love has already changed
After the love is gone
Swear I can't go on
After the love is gone
After the love is gone baby
Swear I can't go on
After the love is gone
Falling down each time I tried
Falling down, with a broken pride
Now there's really nothing left to hide
After the love is gone
Stand tall and be a man
I'll never get to ever see her plans
I've got used to hearing doors that slam
After the love is gone baby
I was that man who wondered why
Why a grown man ain't supposed to cy
My heart was strong
IOt had to break
It's breaking again
After the love is gone
Swear I can't go on
After the love is gone
After the love is gone baby
Swear I can't go on
After the love is gone
I'm sick and tired of feeling like a fool again
I've been feeling down and now I'm in pain
Too many time I've fallen for you lies
Too many time I've seen the danger signs
Too hot to handle you're a burning flame
Too cool to play somebody else's game
All dressed up with nothing on you mind
That's a little unkind
Just a little, just a little unkind
Just a, just a little, just a little unkind
Just a
Too many numbers written on you wall
Too many people at your beck and call
Too much to say when anybodies near
It's too bad nobody ever want to hear
All dressed up with nothing on you mind
That's a little unkind
Just a little, just a little unkind
Little unkind
Just a, just a little, just a little unkind
Just a
And its round and round and round we go
Like somebody's stereo
Ohhhh (let you know let you know round and round and)
And its round and round and round we go
Like somebody's stereo
(let you know let you know round and round and)
Too bad nobody takes a chance
But they're much too hung up on that new romance
You're only moaning, the town is ?????
??????????????????????????????????????????
Too many time I've fallen for you lies
Too many time I've seen the danger signs
Too hot to handle you're a burning flame
Too cool to play somebody else's game
All dressed up with nothing on you mind
All dressed up with nothing on you mind
And you're a little unkind
Just a little, just a little unkind
A little unkind
Just a, just a little, just a little unkind
A little unkind
Just a, just a little, just a little unkind
A little unkind
Just a, just a little, just a little unkind
Just a little unkind
Just a, just a little, just a little unkind
A little unkind
Just a, just a little, just a little unkind
A little unkind
Just a, just a little, just a little unkind
A little unkind
Just a, just a little, just a little unkind
I admit it, this time I was wrong
Anybody can make a mistake
I overdid it and I can't complain
If someone's taken my place
It ain't the first time, it won't be the last
That I find my life in disarray
No use regretting, it's all in the past
So tell me what can I say
Is there any point goin' on about it?
When you know that I can do nothin' right
I don't know that talkin' it over will change
The way I'm feeling tonight
I used to wake up, jump out of my bed
With a great big smile on my face
I was the business, no one could deny
Now I've fallen from grace
I just need a chance to forget about it
Do you really care who was wrong or right?
I don't know that talkin' it over will change
The way I'm feeling tonight
So if you want your freedom
I won't stand in your way
'Cause I've got my pride
And I won't beg you to stay
Maybe one day I will write a book about it
I'll put everything down in black and white
I don't know that talkin' it over will change
It's time to move on
Forget the past
You said our love will never die
Now it seems you've changed your mind
After the thrill is gone
I know it could never last
So darling just to let you know
I won't cry when I see you go
No it's not easy
To keep the vows you made
I'm not criticizing you
Only if you want me to stay
I'm not here to judge you
On what people say
I've seen and heard enough
To tell you I can't stay
It's time to move on
Forget the past
You said our love will never die
Now it seems you've changed your mind
I know you can't live a life
When the thrill is gone
Darling you will never know
I didn't know when I was lucky
Discontented feeling bad
Filled with envy
For possessions other people had
I found my pride had always hurt me
Fought the world to gain control
Not realizing
I was sitting on a beach of gold
Oh Lord, I'm a poor man
With all the riches I can hold
I'm a beggar
And I'm sitting on a beach of gold
The problems I encountered
Gave me strength, helped me sustain
To know the pleasure
First I had to cure the pain
When I was searching for solutions
I found the answer lay in me
I'm a drifter
But I'm drifting on a silver sea
Oh Lord, I'm a poor man
With all the riches I can hold
I'm a beggar
And I'm sitting on a beach of gold
I didn't have courage
My life was as dark as night
When alone in the darkness
I saw the brightest light
Let the light shine down
Are you out there now on empty
Feel you've nothing left to give
Sick of trying
Have you lost the will to live?
Don't be drowning in the shallows
With the beach so near at hand
Hear the voice say, "Stand up, get up
And join me on the gilded sand"
Come and join me on the beach
With all the riches I can hold
'Cause I'm a beggar
And I'm sitting on a beach of gold
Oh Lord, I'm a poor man
With all the riches I can hold
I'm a beggar
I'm sitting on a beach of gold
My children my salvation
The father to this man
They're my teachers
Playing on the golden sand
With my family all around me
I've all the riches I can hold
I'm a beggar
Sitting on a beach of gold
Oh Lord, I'm a poor man
If you ever change your mind
About leavin', leavin' me behind
Oh, oh, bring it to me
Bring your sweet lovin'
Bring it on home to me
You know I tried to treat you right
But, you stay out, stay out every night
Oh, oh, bring it to me
Bring your sweet lovin'
Bring it on home to me
If you ever change your mind
About leavin', leavin' me behind
Oh, oh, bring it to me
Bring your sweet lovin'
Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', i'm goin' your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me
(moon river, wider than a mile)
(i'm crossin' you in style some day)
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', i'm goin' your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
where did i go wrong
it's a mystery to me
where did i go wrong
and how could it be
to much information comming from everywhere
ooh but there's no one who can tell me why life can be
so unfair
i try to give you all a woman could need
but if it's not enough
will you be so kind won't you tell me pleas
where did i go wrong
it's a mystery to me
where did i go wrong
tell me how could it be
the more i think about it
it just don't make any sense
i feel like i'm standing here accused
alone with no defense
each accusation had me searching my mind
putting the pieces together
i'm looking for clues there so hard to find
where did i go wrong
it's a mystery to me
where did i go wrong
how could it be
i tried to give you all a woman could need
but if that's not enough
won't you be so kind won't you tell me pleas
where did i go wrong
it's a mystery to me
where did i go wrong
If I were you
I wouldn't hurt the ones you love the way you do
I wouldn't make them cry
If I were you
I would learn to see the other point of view
You don't even try
Let's say that you were me
We'd do things differently
Cut out all the fear and lies
Then maybe you could see
The possibility to compromise
If I were you
I would look at all the quarrelling we do
'Cause that's no help at all
If I were you
I would give a little credit where it's due
That would be my call
Let's say that you were me
We'd do things differently
And cut out all the hurt and pain
Then maybe you could see
The possibility to love again
If I had the choice
You would make yourself heard
Without raising your voice
In my master plan
You could get your own way
Without raising your hand
I don't want to be the one
Getting it wrong time after time
I no longer want to play games
For any reason or rhyme
Nobody's asking you to do something
You don't want to do
If I were you
I wouldn't hurt the ones you love the way you do
I wouldn't make them cry
If I were you
I would learn to see the other point of view
But you don't even try
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
You are my consuming passion
Somehow just being with you is all that matters
If I can look in your eyes
Then I can lose all track of time
And a second can last forever
You make me smile despite the sadness
You are the only one who shines through all the madness
I know that you must surely be
The greatest gift I could receive
And my heart is yours forever
God only knows how I've waited for you
You've brought me so much joy
You saved my live without me knowing
You've brought me everything I need to keep on going
And in this world of constant change
I know that nothing stays the same
I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles
And the heaven's open every time she smiles
And when I come to her that's where I belong
Yet I'm running to her like a river's song
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
Take away my trouble, take away my grief
Take away my heartache, in the night like a thief
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
Yes I need her in the daytime
Yes I need her in the night
Yes I want to throw my arms around her
Kiss her hug her kiss her hug her tight
And when I'm returning from so far away
She gives me some sweet lovin' brighten up my day
Yes it makes me righteous, yes it makes me feel whole
Yes it makes me mellow down in to my soul
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
And she pours herself another cup of coffee
As she contemplates the stain across the wall
And it's in between the cleaning and the washing
That's when looking back's the hardest part of all
And she always did her best to try and please him
While he always did his best to make her cry
And she got down on her knees to stop him leaving
But he always knew one day he'd say goodbye
Where are your friends? Where are your children?
Is this your house? Is this your home?
Does nothing ever last forever?
Does everybody sleep alone? Oh
And he tears the business tags from his old suitcase
As he packs away the pieces of his life
They all love him but they always try to change him
That's what happens when a girl becomes a wife
And she pours herself another cup of coffee
As the pictures leave a clean space on the wall
And it's in between the leaving and the loving
That's when looking back's the hardest part of all
Where are your friends? Where are your children?
Is this your house? Is this your home?
Does nothing ever last forever?
Does everybody sleep alone? Alone, no, oh yeah
Don't look back and don't give up
Pour yourself another cup
Don't look back and don't give up
Pour yourself another cup
And she pours herself another cup of coffee
And she pours herself another cup of coffee
Don't look back, coffee
She pours herself another cup of coffee
Don't look back, don't give up
Another cup, huh, don't look back, don't give up
I know a little bit
About a lot of things
But I don't know enough about you
Just when I think you're mine
You try a different line and
Baby, what can I do?
I read the latest news
No buttons on my shoes
Baby, I'm confused about you
You've got me in a spin and
What a spin I'm in
Cause I don't know enough about you
Jack-of-all-trades, master of none
And isn't it a shame
I'm so sure that you'd be good for me
If you'd only play my game
You know I went to school and
I'm nobody's fool
That is to say until I met you
You've got me in a spin and
What a spin I'm in
Cause I don't know enough about you
I know a bit about biology
A little more about psychology
I'm a little gem in geology
Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize
Don't patronize me
'Cause I can't make you love me If you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark in these final hours
I will lay down my heart, and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
And I can't make you love me
If you don't
I'll close my eyes and then I won't see
The love you do not feel, when you're holding me
Morning will come, and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then, to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
And I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
And here in the dark in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no, you won't
And I can't make you love me
If you don't
Ain't no use in you trying
It's no good for me baby without love
All my tears, all these years, everything I believed in
Baby
Oh yeah
We may never meet again
Before you go
Make this moment sweet again
We won't say goodnight
Until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand
And my heart will be in it
This may only be a dream
We come and we go
Like the ripples of a stream
So love me, love me tonight
Tomorrow was made for some
Baby, it's a dream come true
Walking right alongside of you
Wish I could tell you how much I care
But I only have the nerve to stare
I can feel a new expression on my face
I can feel a glowing sensation taking place
I can hear the guitars playing lovely tunes
Every time that you walk in the room
I close my eyes for a second and pretend it's me you want
Meanwhile I try and act so nonchalant
I see a summer night with a magic moon
Every time that you walk in the room
Baby, it's a dream come true
Walking right alongside of you
Wish I could tell you how much I care
But I only have the nerve to stare
Yeah, yeah
I can hear something pounding in my brain
very time that someone speaks your name
Trumpets sounding; I hear love in bloom
Every time that you walk in the room
Every time that you walk in the room
Oh yeah
Every time you walk
I feel a brand new way
Oh yes I do
People get ready
There's a train a-coming
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear diesels humming
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
Yeah yeah yeah
People get ready
For the train to Jordan
Picking up passengers
From coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board them
There's room for all
Among the loved and lost
Now there ain't no room
For the hopeless sinner
Who抯 hard on mankind
Just to save his own
Have pity on those
Whose chances are thinner
Cause there's no hiding place
From the Kingdom's Throne
Ohh people get ready
There's a train a-coming
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear diesels a- humming
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
Yeah yeah yeah
I'm getting ready
I - I'm ready yeah yeah yeah
Oh I'm getting ready oh - oh
I lie here waiting in the dark
For the morning light
To come around
Counting the cracks up on the wall
I'm distracted by
Every single sign
As I watch the seconds tick away
I only wish there were less hours in the day
I've grown addicted to your touch
You know that I've got a craving
I need it so much
Time passes so slowly
When you're far away
This is the last time that
I leave you this way
I'm listening to the ticking clock
Watching at the hands creeping round and round
Just like a kid kept after school
Only difference is
I'm a grown man now
Sometimes I stop and wonder why
I'm spending every night alone
Just killing time
But I guess that's just the price you pay
Oh but it feels like I'm wishing my life away
Time passes so slowly
When you're far away
This is the last time that
I leave you this way
I know it won't be long
But till I'm back in your loving arms
I won't be right
I'm letting my impressions
Get the better of me
I can't take it any longer
I need you baby
You know time passes so slowly
When you're far away
This is the last time that
I leave you this way
Sometimes I stop and wonder why
I'm spending every night alone
Just killing time
But I guess that's just the price you pay
Oh but it feels like I'm wishing my life away
Time passes so slowly
When you're far away
This is the last time that
Cover me, cover me
Spread your precious love all over me
Oh, can't you see the need in me?
Oh, cover me, cover me
Hide me, hide me
Where no other can find me
Oh, I'm feeling cold, I need you so
Oh, cover me, cover me
Girl, my love for you gets stronger everyday
Oh, temptation might be waiting 'round the way
When I'm [Incomprehensible] and I get led astray
Find me, find me
Can't stop the little tear that blinds me
Oh darling, I don't want to lose you
Oh, find me
Stay with me, stay with me
Baby, make it all the way with me
Oh, everyday and every way
Stay with me, you stay with me
Cover me, cover me
Spread your precious love all over me
Oh, can't you see the need in me?
Oh, cover me, cover me
Cover me, cover me
Spread your precious love all over me
Woohoo
Used to be supersticious
Looking out for a hidden sign
Always crossing my fingers
But I was waisting my time
I was searching for something
But I'm not looking anymore
Because you took some persuading
But it was worth waiting for
Cause there's no doubt about it
You're the best thing that's happened to me
No doubt about it
I'm right where I wanna be
I can always remember
The first thing you said to me
Always follow your feelings
Be true to what you believe
Love don't come easy
Finally it has come to me
I'm so glad I've plenty of it
All the love I need
Cause there's no doubt about it
You're the best thing that's happened to me
No doubt about it
I'm right where I wanna be
No doubt about it
You're the best thing that's happened to me
There's no doubt about it
Girl, I'm right where I wanna be
Woo Woohoo
Used to be under pressure
There's so much on my worried mind
I was tired and entangled
That I could never unwind
You taught me something
Something I will never forget
Life just keeps getting better
You ain't seen nothing yet
And there's no doubt about it
You're the best thing that's happened to me
No doubt about it
Cause I'm right where I wanna be
No doubt about it
You're the best thing that's happened to me
There's no doubt about it
If the sun should tumble from the sky,
if the sea should suddenly run dry
If you love me, really love me,
Let it happen I won't care
If a dream I fear should fall apart
I can still be smiling with my heart
If you love me, really love me,
Let it happen darling I won't care
Shall I catch a shooting star,
Shall I bring it where you are
If you only say you care
I can make a mountain fall
I'll do anything at all
As long as you are there
When at last my life on earth is through,
I will share eternity with you
If you love me, really love me,
