I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me. Love was out to get me That's the way it seemed. Disappointment haunted all my dreams. Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer Not a trace of doubt in my mind. I'm in love, I'm a believer! I couldn't leave her if I tried. I thought love was more or less a given thing, Seems the more I gave the less I got. What's the use in tryin'? All you get is pain. When I needed sunshine I got rain. Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer Not a trace of doubt in my mind. I'm in love, I'm a believer! I couldn't leave her if I tried. |

I wanna be free,
Like the bluebirds flying by me, Like the waves out on the blue sea, If your love has to tie me, Don't try me, say good-bye. I wanna be free, Don't say you love me, say you like me But when I need you beside me, Stay close enough to guide me, Confide in me, whoa-oh-oh. I wanna hold your hand, Walk along the sand, Laughing in the sun, Always having fun. Doing all those things Without any strings to tie me down. I wanna be free, Like the warm September wind, babe, Say you'll always be my friend, babe, We can make it to the end, babe, Again, babe, I've gotta say... I wanna be free, I wanna be free, I wanna be free. |

(She!) She told me that she loved me,
And like a fool I believed her from the start (She!) She said she'd never hurt me, But then she turned around and broke my heart. Why am I standing here Missing her and wishing she were here? (Hey!) She only did me wrong (Hey!) I'm better off alone. (She!) She devoured all my sweet love, Took all I had and then she fed me dirt (She!) She laughed while I was crying It was such a joke to see the way it hurt. Why am I standing here Missing her and wishing she were here? (Hey!) She only did me wrong (Hey!) I'm better off alone. And now I know just why she keeps me hanging 'round, (Hanging 'round) She needs someone to walk on so her feet don't touch the ground (Don't touch the ground) But I love her! (Love her!) I need her! (Need her!) I want her! (Want her!) Yeah! (Yeah!) Yeah! (Yeah!) Yeah!-Yeah!-Yeah!-Yeah!-She! Why am I standing here Missing her and wishing she were here? (Hey!) She only did me wrong, now (Hey!) I'm better off alone. (She!) Why am I missing her? (She!) I should be kissing her! (She!) Why am I missing her? (She!) I should be kissing her! |

Oh, I could hide neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings. The six oclock alarm would never ring. Whoops its ringing and I rise, Wipe the sleep out of my eyes. My shavin razors cold and it stings. Cheer up, sleepy jean. Oh, what can it mean. To a daydream believer And a homecoming queen. You once thought of me As a white knight on a steed. Now you know how happy I can be. Oh, and our good times starts and end Without dollar one to spend. But how much, baby, do we really need. Cheer up, sleepy jean. Oh, what can it mean. To a daydream believer And a homecoming queen. Cheer up, sleepy jean. Oh, what can it mean. To a daydream believer And a homecoming queen. [instrumental interlude] Cheer up, sleepy jean. Oh, what can it mean. To a daydream believer And a homecoming queen. [repeat and fade] |

When the world and I were young,
Just yesterday. Live was such a simple game, A child could play. It was easy then to tell right from wrong. Easy then to tell weak from strong. When a man should stand and fight, Or just go along. But today there is no day or night Today there is no dark or light. Today there is no black or white, Only shades of gray. I remember when the answers seemed so clear We had never lived with doubt or tasted fear. It was easy then to tell truth from lies Selling out from compromise Who to love and who to hate, The foolish from the wise. But today there is no day or night Today there is no dark or light. Today there is no black or white, Only shades of gray. It was easy then to know what was fair When to keep and when to share. How much to protect your heart And how much to care. But today there is no day or night Today there is no dark or light. Today there is no black or white, Only shades of gray. Only shades of gray. |

She looked at me
And the emptiness in her eyes was cruel to see Then she turned away and said, "Once I loved, but love is dead" And I whispered, "Sometimes love is only sleeping" She said, "I cannot cry And I cannot give or feel or even try" And her voice was hard and cold Then her sweet young face looked old And I whispered, "Sometimes love is only sleeping" Through the endless days and nights Could not help but wrap herself in sorrow (sorrow) Through the endless days and nights She waited for a shiny new tomorrow Love was sleeping, sleeping She looked at me And her smiling tears were warm and sweet and free And the moonlight kissed her eyes As it mingled with our sighs And she whispered, "Sometimes love is only sleeping" And she whispered, "Sometimes love is only sleeping" Only sleeping... |

About as low as I felt in a long time
And I know that I did a wrong at the wrong time It's plain to see, she's down on me And I know she'll feel that way for a long time I was high on top but I didn't know it (tear drop city) Tell me, why did I have to go and blow it? (tear drop city) I used my lines too many times And now I've got a badly hurt heart to show it (tear drop city) Took me too long to discover How much I really love her How'd I ever end up in this bind? What a drag There she goes looking for pretty clover (tear drop city) No one knows what it's like until it over (tear drop city) Without a doubt, I just found out And I suppose I never did get to know her (tear drop city) Tear drop city, tear drop city Took me to long to discover How much I really love her How'd I ever end up in this bind? What a drag About as low as I felt in a long time... |

Sometime in the morning
A simple thought may occur to you, And you hold her, And tell her all the things you never told her. Your love has shown me things I never thought I could see; I didn't know It could be done so easily. Now I know You're where it is for me. Sometime in the evening You're sitting there by the fireside And she'll touch you And you'll realize how much you never knew before, How much you couldn't see. You didn't know It could be done so easily Now you know She's all a girl could be. Now in her childlike eyes You see the beauty there You know it was always there And you need no longer wear a disguise. Sometime in the morning You'll just reach out and she will be there, Close as the summer air. Sometime in the morning she will be there. |

Some thing doesn't change
There is only one Always changing inside What does it become Can you dig it? Do you know? Would you care to let it show? Those who know it use it Those who start it die To sing that you can dig it Is to make your summer fly Can you dig it? Do you know? Would you care to let it show? Can you dig it? Do you know? Would you care to let it show? There is only feeling In this world of life and death I sing the praise of never change With every single breath Can you dig it? Do you know? Would you care to let it show? Hey!... |

Though you've played at love and lost
And sorrow's turned your heart to frost I will melt your heart again. Remember the feeling as a child When you woke up and morning smiled It's time you felt like you did then. There's just no percentage in remembering the past It's time you learned to live again at last. Come with me, leave yesterday behind And take a giant step outside your mind. You stare at me in disbelief You say for you there's no relieve But I swear I'll prove you wrong. Don't stay in your lonely room Just staring back in silent gloom. That's not where you belong Come with me I'll take you where the taste of life is green And everyday holds wonders to be seen. Come with me, leave yesterday behind And take a giant step outside your mind. |

Riu riu chiu, la guarda ribera;
Dios guardo el lobo de nuestra cordera, Dios guardo el lobo de neustra cordera. El lobo rabioso la quiso morder, Mas Dios poderoso la supo defender; Quisola hazer que no pudiese pecar, Ni aun original esta Virgen no tuviera. Riu, riu chiu... Este qu'es nacido es el gran monarca, Christo patriarca de carne vestido; Hemos redemido con se hazer chiquito, Aunqu'era infinito, finito se hiziera. Riu, riu chiu... Translated: River, roaring river, guard our homes in safety, God has kept the black wolf from our lamb, our Lady. God has kept the black wolf from our lamb, our Lady. Raging mad to bite her, there the wolf did steal, But our God Almighty defended her with zeal. Pure He wished to keep Her so She could never sin, That first sin of man never touched the Virgin sainted. River, roaring river... He who's now begotten is our mighty Monarch, Christ, our Holy Father, in human flesh embodied. He has brough atonement by being born so humble, Though He is immortal, as mortal was created. River, roaring river... |
