The Toronto Blue Jays are a professional baseball team located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The Blue Jays are a member of the Eastern Division of Major League Baseball (MLB)'s American League (AL).
The "Blue Jays" name originates from the bird of the same name, and the fact that blue is the traditional colour of Toronto's other professional sports teams, the Maple Leafs and the Argonauts. Nicknamed "the Jays", the team's official colours are royal blue, navy blue, white, and red. An expansion franchise, the club was founded in Toronto in 1977, initially owned by the Labatt Brewing Company. Originally based at Exhibition Stadium, the team began playing its home games at the SkyDome, upon completion of its construction in 1989. Since 2000, the Blue Jays have been owned by Rogers Communications, and in 2004, the SkyDome was purchased by that company, which renamed the venue to Rogers Centre. They are the second MLB team to be based outside the United States, and currently the only team outside the U.S. after fellow Canadian franchise, the Montreal Expos, relocated to Washington, D.C. after the 2004 season (becoming the Washington Nationals).
Toronto (/təˈrɒntoʊ/, colloquially /ˈtrɒnoʊ/) is the largest city in Canada and the provincial capital of Ontario. It is located in Southern Ontario on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario. A relatively modern city, Toronto's history dates back to the late-18th century, when its land was first purchased by the British monarchy from the Mississaugas of the New Credit. The settlement was later established as the Town of York and proclaimed as the new capital of Upper Canada by its lieutenant-governor, John Graves Simcoe. In 1834, York was incorporated as a city and renamed to its present name. The city was ransacked in the Battle of York during the War of 1812 and damaged in two great fires in 1849 and in 1904. Since its incorporation, Toronto has repeatedly expanded its borders through amalgamation with surrounding municipalities, most recently in 1998.
With over 2.6 million residents, it is the fifth most populous city in North America. Its metropolitan area has over 5.5 million residents. Toronto is at the heart of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), and is part of a densely populated region in Southern Ontario known as the Golden Horseshoe, which has a population of nearly 9 million people as of 2011. The census metropolitan area (CMA) had a population of 5,583,064, and the Greater Toronto Area had a population of 6,054,191 in the 2011 Census. Its cosmopolitan and international population reflects its role as an important destination for immigrants to Canada. Toronto is one of the world's most diverse cities by percentage of non-native-born residents, with about 49% of the population born outside Canada. Toronto is also consistently rated as one of the world's most livable cities by the Economist Intelligence Unit and the Mercer Quality of Living Survey.
You don't need to ask me if I'll be your friend, I am, I am
You don't need to ask me if I'm sure my friend, I am
I am your friend you must remember me
I'm the one who saw through the world's disguise
Took away its cloak and I made it hide, from me, remember me?
Walking on this earth finding you, you, you
Walking on this earth finding you, you, you
What can I say, you don't need to find the words
To say what's on your mind
If you need a reason to begin again, I am, I am
You will find an answer at your journey's end
I am waiting there my friend, you must remember me
I'm the one who knew you when, I'm the one you call your friend
Feel free, remember me
Walking on this earth finding you, you, you
Walking on this earth finding you, you, you
What can I say, you don't need to find the words
To say what's on your mind
Walking on this earth finding you, you, you
Walking on this earth finding you, you, you
On Lover's Island
Where the trees stand so tall
And the dust turn to gold
And love never grows old
On Lover's Island
Where the birds sing of love
Seems a gift from up above
I met her one day
(Met her one day)
As we stood alone on the mountain
Under the moon and stars above
Oh, darling, don't ever go
She was Venus, the goddess of love
On Lover's Island
Where the trees stand so tall
And the dust turn to gold
And love never, never

It's the part of the dream that leaves me when the sunlight hits my eyes
It's the part of the dream that rolls me over and over as I sleep
It's the part of the dream that leaves me wanting for the darkness
It's the part of the dream I can't remember it at all
I dreamed about you last night
I dreamed about you last night
I dreamed about you last night
Last night I dreamed
Last night last night
Something about a big jet plane moving fast off into the sunset
Maybe a mustang moving fast up to the sky
Mor like a great big boat drifting off to nowhere
I know that in the end you were waiting on the other side
I dreamed about you last night
I dreamed about you last night
I dreamed about you last night
Last night I dreamed
Last night last night
I can feel the dream long before it makes my mind
I know the dream like the scent of the evening air
I need the dream to keep me safe until the morning
When I open my eyes you're there
I dreamed about you last night
I dreamed about you last night
I dreamed about you last night
Last night I dreamed
I dreamed about you last night
I dreamed about you last night
I dreamed about you last night
