Although the things you've done I wouldn't criticize. I guess you had your way. You see I gotta make you understand. I know it sounds a foolish thing to say. But it don't matter baby 'cos' today's another day.
*You shine a little love on my life You shine a little love on my life You shine a little love on my life and let me see.
Remember,tonight we're gonna run till dawn Remember,tonight we're gonna say. We'll never stop we got a good thing goin' on. I know you've heard it all before. But I really need you darlin' every day I need you more.
*Repeat
Can you understand.(Yes I understand) Can you feel it's right. (I know it is) Will you be the same.(I'll do it all again).
It's been a year now and it's getting so much better. You came home without a word. Though everybody said you'll soon forget her. Thay couldn't see and they just didn't understand. And lookin' in the mirror there were fools at either hand.
Can you understand.(Yes I understand) Can you feel it's right. (I know it is) Will you be the same.(I'll do it all again).
How many days had I been waiting there to tell you. I really can't believe. We're walkin' out into the world tonight. We'll do it all again until the break of light. And the feelin' in your heart will soon be shinin' in your eyes
Everywhere the sun is shining All around the world, it's shining But cold winds blow across your mind Confusion -- it's such a terrible shame Confusion -- you don't know what you're saying You've lost your love and you just can't carry on You feel there's no one there for you to lean on.
Every night you're out there, darling You're always out there running And I see that lost look in your eyes Confusion -- I don't know what I should do Confusion -- I leave it all up to you You've lost your love and you just can't carry on You feel there's no one there for you to lean on.
Dark is the road you wander And as you stand there under The starry sky, you feel sad inside Confusion -- you know it's driving me wild Confusion -- it comes as no big surprise You've lost your love and you just can't carry on You feel there's no one there for you to lean on.
She gives me love that I could never hope to have, She tells me that she needs me,she tells me that she's glad, And if she goes away,I'm like someone who's left out in the rain, I need,I need her,I need her love.
She came in from the west,a summer breeze I couldn't rest, I had to take a fast train,to be there by her side, She made me feel so good,she made it like it should be all the time I need,I need her,I need her love.
Just when I was thinkin' of her,she came along and made me want her.I need her love,I need her love,I need her love.
If she goes away,I'm like someone who's left out in the rain, I need,I need her,I need her love.
The boast that sail,the planes that fly,she is with me. I wonder if she wonders,if this is all for real, I couldn't stand to see her cry because of me,that would be sad. I need,I need her,I need her love.
She tells me everything,she makes me smile,she tries to sing, But never shares her suffering,if things are going wrong, She makes it like a dream,if things are as they seem the world is good. I need her love,I need her love,I need her love.
Monday:Late again,today,he'd be in trouble though he'd say he was sorry,he'd have to hurry out the bus.
Tuesday:Horace was so sad,he'd never had a girl that he could care for,and if he was late once more,he'd be out.
*Don't be afraid,just knock on the door, Well he just stood there mumblin' and fumblin'. Then a voice from above said-- "Horace Wimp,this is your life, Go out and find yourself a wife. Make a stand and be a man, And you will have a great life plan."
Wednesday:Horace met a girl,she was small and she was very pretty,he thought he was in love,he was afraid.
Thursday:Asks her for a date,the cafe down the street tomorrow evening,his head was reeling, when she said "Yes O.K."
*Repeat
Friday:Horace,this is it,he asks the girl if maybe they could marry,when she says "gladly." Horace cries.
Sunday:Everybody's at the church,when Horace rushes in and says "Now here come my wife, for the rest of my life." and she did.
It was 9-29,9-29 back street big city. The sun was going' down,there was music all around It felt so right.
It was one of those nights,one of those nights when you feel the world stop turnin',you were standing There,there was music in the air.I should have been Away,but I knew I'd have to stay.
*Last train to London,just headin' out, Last train to London,just leavin' town. But I really want tonight to last forever I really wanna be with you. Let the music play on down the line tonight.
It was one of those nights,one of those nights when You feel the fire is burnin',everybody was there, Everybody to share,it felt so right.

They say some days you're gonna win, They say some days you're gonna lose. I tell you I got news for you Your losin' all the time you never win If you believe that's how it's gonna be I'd better put you down Get off your tightrope up there come down on The ground you gotta save me now, You better turn around. When I looked around, I was heading down. Won't somebody throw me down a line.
They say some days you gotta give They say some days you gotta take If that's the way it's gotta be, Roll it over and you will see. The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time. The change from night to day is really only hours, It's just along the line can't you see the sign When I looked around, I was heading down, Won't somebody throw me down a line.
I want to look you straight in the eye, I want to tell you how I really feel, I can feel the wheels turnin' round, Won't somebody throw me down a line The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time, The change from night to day is really only hours It's just along the line, can't you see the sign When I closed my eyes, I was so surprised Somebody had thrown me down the linestopped me drownin
Hellohow are you Have you been alright, through all those lonely nights, That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything, If you'd pick up that telephone.
Heyhow you feelin' Are you still the same Don't you realize the things we did were all for real not a dream, I just can't believe They've all faded out of view.
I look into the sky And I wonder why
CHORUS Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
O.K. so noone's answering, Well can't you just let it ring a little longer I'll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night Let it ring for evermore.
Just got back from the downtown palais Where the music was so sweet It knocked me right back in the alley I'm ready, yea, yea, yea, I'm ready, Wo, wo, wo, I'm ready And I'm really gonna rock tonight.
Sweet little lady sings like a songbird And she sings the opera like you ain't never heard, But she ain't ready, No, no, no, she ain't ready No, no, no, she ain't ready, And she ain't gonna rock & roll
CHORUS She's sweet on Wagner, I think she'd die for Beethoven, She loves the way Puccini lays down a tune, And Verdi's always creeping from her room
Come on I'll show you how to sing the blues Now baby, come on over you got nothin' to lose, Are you ready, hey, hey, hey are you ready Ooh, ooh, ooh, are you ready I wanna show you how to rock and roll.
Now listen here baby she, said to me Just, meet me at the opera house at a quarter to three, 'Cos I'm ready, yea, yea, yea, I'm ready, Woo, hoo, hoo, I'm ready, I'm gonna show you how to sing the blues.
CHORUS repeat
Far, far away the music is playing.
Well we were reelin' and a rockin' all through the night, Yea we were rockin' at the opera house until the break of light, And the orchestra were playin' all Chuck Berry's greatest tunes. And the singers in the chorus all got off on singing blues, And as the night grew older everybody was As one, The people on the streets came runnin' in to join in song Just to hear the opera singer singin' rock & roll so pure, I thought I saw the mayor there but I wasn't really sure, But it's alright
For may days we travelled from a distant place and time, To reach a place they call the planet Earth, There was to be a celebration, On the mission of the sacred heart. The planet Earth from way up there is beautiful and blue And floating softly through a rainbow, But when you touch down things look different here, At the mission of the sacred heart. CHORUS Watching all the days roll by Who are you and who am I? On a dirty worn-out sidewalk, sits a mother with a baby, In her vale of tears she sees no rainbow And someone's singing from a window In the mission of the sacred heart. CHORUS repeat There's a building on a corner, in a city, in a land, On a place they call the planet Earth, My orders are to sit here and watch the world go by, From the mission of the sacred heart. CHORUS repeat
Two drifters on the morning sky, Two drifters sailing wide and high, When summer breezes blow across your mind, With you, I will walk the line.
CHORUS I want it so fine I want it so fine I want it so fine
People walking hand in hand, Everybody's singing to the band, I want to be where the stars shine bright, And hear sweet music on a summer night.
CHORUS repeat
Sundowners we'll go on and on, We'll find the land of the midnight sun, And when you look you'll see for miles around, You'll see, the world is in your hand.
Sailin' away on the crest of a wave It's like magic Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' & slidin' It's magic
CHORUS And you, and your sweet desire, You took me, higher and higher It's a livin' thing, It's a terrible thing to lose It's a given thing What a terrible thing to lose.
Making believe this is what you've conceived From your worst day, Moving in line when you look back in time To your first day
CHORUS -- repeat
Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide Floating downstream, So let her go don't start spoiling the show It's a bad dream
I came along to see your face, But the only thing I got from you, was telling me it's fantasy, That you would always be with me, I can tell you that's it's true, I'm waiting here, but it's alright, It's alright with me, you better believe me now.
I guess it's like a mountain side, You've got to climb it to the top, Floating in a sea of dreams, The only thing that you can see, Is the view above the clouds.
I'm waiting here, but it's alright, Still it's alright with me, You better believe me now.
In this life I've seen ev'rything I can see, woman I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand I've see babies dancin' in the midnight sun I've seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above I've seen old men cryin' at their own grave sides And I've seen pigs all sittin' watchin' picture slides But I never seen nothin' like you Do ya, do ya want my love? Do ya, do ya want my face? Do ya, do ya want my mind? Do ya, do ya want my love?
Well, I heard the crowd singin' out of tune As they sat and sang Auld Lang Syne By the light of the moon I heard the preachers bangin' on the drums And I heard the police playin' with their guns But I never heard nothin' like you
In the country where the sky Touches down on the field She lay her down to rest in the mornin' sun They came -a-runnin' just to get a look Just to feel, to touch her long black hair They don't give a damn
But I never seen nothin' like you Do ya, do ya want my love? Do ya, do ya want my face? Do ya, do ya want my mind? Do ya, do ya want my love?
Well I think you know What I'm tryin' to say, woman That is, I'd like to save you for a rainy day I've seen enough of the world to know That I've got to get it all To get it all to grow
Do ya, do ya want my love? Do ya, do ya want my face? Do ya, do ya want my mind? Do ya, do ya want my love?
