Chicago

All we wanted was each other; nothin' more.
You were looking for an answer; you were out the door.
I didn't know what you were after. i knew you had to take a chance, girl.
Did you forget about the laughter? say oh, oh no.

Chorus:
Oo, what you're missing could have been yours from the start.
You won't listen when it's coming from the heart.
Now you're missing me.
You'll find that out when we're apart.

Had some crazy conversations. you know they seemed so right.
Remember how it used to keep us up all night?
I didn't know what you were after. maybe there never was an answer.
Did you forget about the laughter? say oh, oh no.

Chorus

Used to think that you'd do anything for me.
I thought your heart was pounding at my door.
Now it seems that things aren't right.
You've been crying ev'ry night.
You're rainy season just ain't slowing down.
I still love you even though there's things you can't explain.
I don't want to know if you've been lying all along.
You've been running away.
Now you've run out of places to hide.
I can no longer stand here waiting for you to decide
if there's a heart still left inside.
There's someone watching tonight.


You've been trying for some time to get away from me.
It's just the same old game you've tried before.
We've talked it out a thousand time.
It's still the same old useless lines.
You've made your point now why can't I make mine?
I still love you even though there's things you can't explain.
I don't want to know if you've been lying all this time.
You've been running away.
Now you've run out of places to hide.
I can no longer stand here waiting for you to decide
if there's a heart still left inside.
You can't get away. There's someone watching tonight.

She said, "Tell me what it's all about." I said "Why, why, why
It's just something you could do without. You better try, try try
She said, "I can't reach you on the telephone
I can't call you when you're not at home
You keep saying that you're all alone
That's a lie, lie, lie


Bad advice had me down and undone
Got to try again to believe in myself
Look at me, I'm alone in the end
Can you see me falling, falling down
I said, "Mama can you get it straight
She said "Why, why, why
I wanna tell you that it just can't wait, so let's try, try, try
She said, "I don't care where you might have gone.
I don't care 'cause you've done me wrong.
You been doin' it far too long
So goodbye, bye, bye


She said "Tell me what it's all about." I said, "Why, why, why
It's just something you can do without. You better try, try, try
I can't reach you on the telephone.
I can't call you when you're not at home
You keep saying that you're all alone. That's a lie, lie, lie

I don't want any trouble. I don't want to make any waves.
I don't want any conscience. And I don't wanna be brave.
I've kept my distance. My feelings have never been shown.
I know that I've been walking fences,
Denied what I have known.


I carry chains. (I carry chains.)
Heavy, heavy chains. (Chains that are made.)
I carry chains (I carry chains) 'round my feet.
I feel the weight (I feel the weight.)
Chains are the different things that should not be hanging on me.


I put my conscience under a stone, the stone under the ground.
Walked from where I had left it. I hoped it couldn't be found.
My conscience persisted. It's a haunted seed I have sown.
Calls me out from the distance
And it just won't leave me alone.


I carry chains. (I carry chains.)
Chains that are made. (Chains that are made.)
I carry heavy chains. (I carry chains.)
Talk about the weight. (I feel the weight.)
Chains are the temporary things that should not be hanging on me.

Everybody needs a little time away
I heard her say
From each other
Even lovers need a holiday
Far away
From each other
Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to stay
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to
And after all that's been
said and done
You're just the part of me
I can't let go

Couldn't stand to be kept away
Just for the day
From your body
Wouldn't wanna be swept away
Far away
From the one that I love
Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to know
Hold me now
I really want to tell you I'm sorry
I could never let you go
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to
And after all that's been
said and done
You're just the part of me
I can't let go
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to

You're gonna be the lucky one

When we get there gonna
jump in the air
No one'll see us cause there's
nobody there
After all you know we
really don't care
Hold on
I'm gonna take you there

One shoe on; one shoe off.
Nothin' in life is decideable; wouldn't you know.
Nothing's supposed to be easy.
Take one day at a time. Ain't no need to hurry.
Realize where you are, and where you're going to.

Follow me, ain't no need to go on all by yourself.
Follow me; don't need nobody else.
Follow me; and together we'll build a better life.
Follow me.


One more time; toe the line;
Nothing in life is impossible. Both of us know
Life is as good as we make it.
Dark reflections of the past
Drown in our tomorrows.
Time to laugh; time to love;
Time to live again.

You had it so good for so long
You thought you were so very strong
You had too much glory
Just a little too much too soon

You thought you could never be wrong
She would always buy your song
What a sad, sad story
It's an age old story

Every man will get his chance
To play the fool
Every time he takes a chance
And thinks he's cool

Sonny think twice
Before you close the door
Take my advice
Your love can't take much more
Something about your life is wrong
When the lady who loves you more is gone
And you don't know what to do
When it all comes down to you

If you're so afraid to be loved
Because you see too much
What a sad, sad story
But you brought it upon yourself

You gave it all up for fun
Now you got nowhere to run
With your sad, sad story
It's an age old story

Every man will get his chance
To play the fool
Every time he takes his chances
And thinks he's cool

Sonny think twice
Before you close the door
Take my advice
Your love can't take much more
Something about your life is wrong
When the lady who loves you more is gone
Sonny think twice

Now you don't know what to do
When it all comes down to you

Don't think that she don't care
'Bout your Saturday night affair
And you better watch out
Somebody is gonna be there

Sonny think twice
Before you close the door
Take my advice
Your love can't take much more
Something about your life is wrong
When the lady who loves you more is gone

Sonny think twice
Before you close the door
Take my advice
Your love can't take much more
Something about your life is wrong
When the lady who loves you more is gone

Lonely nights; empty days, use me up so many ways.
You came along and stole my heart away.
I just wanna hold you darlin', tonight,
knowin' that the love between us is right.
I can't believe that you'd ever let me go; oh, no.

What can I say? What can I do? I'm so in love with you.
Got to be strong; but, for how long must I have this feeling?
Won't go away.
Take me back to yesterday, I just wanna fade away
Closer to you that what we used to be.
Are we really gonna let it die?
Close the book and give it one more try.
I can't believe that you'd ever let me go; oh, no.

After he hurt you, you said you were leaving;
you got up to walk out the door.
The story he's telling you,
you weren't believin'; you've certainly
heard it before.
And I can't stand it, you're feeling so sad.
I can't take it, it's makin'
me mad.
Say the word and I will rescue you.
(Say the word, say the word)
Say the word and I will come to rescue you.


I could be wrong, but unless I'm mistaken,
it's only a matter of time.
And I know you're giving him more
than you've taken; you've come to the end of
the line.
And I can't stand it, you're feeling so sad.
I can't take it, it's makin' me
mad.
Say the word and I will rescue you.
(Say the word, say the word)
Say the word and I will come to rescue you.
(Say the word, say the word)
Something missing in your life; tell you what I say;
blues are on the run and
help is on the way.
Something missing in your life; tell you what I'll do.
Just like in a fairy tale, I'll rescue you. I'm gonna rescue you.

I just can't take it when your feeling so sad.
I can't take it, it's making me mad.
Something missing in your life; tell you what I say;
blues are on the run and
help is on the way.
Something missing in your life; tell you what I'll do.
Just like in a fairy tale, I'll rescue you. I'm gonna rescue you.
Say the word, say the word
Say the word and I will rescue you.
Say the word and I will come to rescue you.
You know that help is on the way

She said, "It's lonely here tonight
She's always sad when she's alone.
She said, "I need you here tonight."
She couldn't wait 'til I get home.
She loves me, and that's all I need to know.
She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go.
Then she said,
"Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me?
Love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow; hurry back.
Can't you see I need you much more than
yesterday


You know it's always cold at night;
it's always lonely 'til the dawn.
And though it's not what we both want,
knowing she's there, I'll carry on.
Because she loves me, and that's all I need to know.
She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go.
Then she said,
"Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me
Love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow; hurry back. Can't you see
I need you more than any words can
say
She loves me, and that's all I need to know.
She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go.
Then she said,
"Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me
Love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow; hurry back. Can't you see
I need you much more than
yesterday?"
Love me tomorrow; love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow; I need you much more than yesterday.

Old days
Good times I remember
Fun days
Filled with simple pleasures
Drive-in movies
Comic books and blue jeans
Howdy Doody
Baseball cards and birthdays
Take me back
To a world gone away
Memories
Seem like yesterday

Old days
Good times I remember
Gold days
Days I'll always treasure
Funny faces
Full of love and laughter
Funny places
Summer nights and streetcars
Take me back
To a world gone away
Boyhood memories
Seem like yesterday

Old days - in my mind and in my heart to stay
Old days - darkened dreams of good times gone away
Old days - days of love and feeling fancy free
Old days - days of magic still so close to me
Old days - in my mind and in my heart to stay
Old days - darkened dreams of good times gone away
Old days - days of love and feeling fancy free
Old days - days of magic still so close to me

Right before my very eyes, I thought that you were only faking it.
And right before my heart was taken in.
Baby what a big surprise. Right before my very eyes.

Yesterday it seemed to me my life was nothing more than wasting time.
But here today you slowly changed my mind
Baby what a big surprise. Right before my very eyes.

Just to be alone was a little more than I could take
Then you came to stay.
You love me in the morns, you love me in the afternoons
Help me find my way.

Now and then just like before I think about the love I've thrown away.
But now it doesn't matter anyway.
Baby what a big surprise. Right before my very eyes.

What Kind Of Man Would I Be? - Chicago

Girl, well it's been one of those days again
And it seems like the harder I try
Over and over, I'm right back where I began
But you understand

Oh girl, when nothing else in this world goes right
Oh I just want to run to you
You'll pull me through
Oh baby, who wouldn't want to have you in their life?

Tell me, what kind of man would I be
Living a life without any meaning?
And I know you could surely survive without me
But if I had to live without you
Tell me what kind of man would I be?

Times when it was pointless for me to try
I was more than a desperate man
What seemed like forever was gone with one touch of your hand

Oh, girl, if I could count all the sleepless nights
When you were there for me
A fool could see, oh baby
Once that I found you there was no letting go

Tell me, what kind of man would I be
Living a life without any meaning?
And I know you could surely survive without me
But if I had to live without you
Tell me what kind of man would I be?

Repeat

As my life goes on I believe
Somehow something's changed
Something deep inside
A part of me

There's a strange new light in my eyes
Things I've never known
Changing my life
Changing me

I've been searchin
So long
To find an answer
Now I know my life has meaning

Now I see myself as I am
Feeling very free
Life is everything
It's meant to be

When my days have come to an end
I will understand
What I left behind
Part of me

I've been searching
So long
To find and answer
Now I know my life has meaning

Searching
For an answer
To the question
Who Am I?
Maybe
It's only natural
Good things
In life
Take a long time

Thought it wouldn't matter
If we didn't stay together
And if it was over
Maybe it was for the better

I was thinking I'd be alright
Till I thought it all through
Now I know that I ain't really living
If I have to live without you

I don't wanna live without your love
I don't wanna face the night alone
I could never make it through my life
If I had to make it on my own
I don't wanna love nobody else
I don't wanna find somebody new
I don't wanna live without your love
I just wanna live my life with you

Guess I had to go away
So much I had to go through
Guess I had to lose you
To realize how much I love you
Can we make the fire burn again,
Burn a little stronger?
'Cause I've been alone and baby
I can't be alone now any longer

I don't wanna live without your love
I don't wanna face the night alone
I could never make it through my life
If I had to make it on my own
I don't wanna love nobody else
I don't wanna find somebody new
I don't wanna live without your love
I just wanna live my life with you

Oh, if I had to make it on my own
my life would never be the same
my love would never be the same
I don't wanna live without your love

I don't wanna live without your love
I don't wanna face the night alone
I could never make it through my life
If I had to make it on my own
I don't wanna love nobody else
I don't wanna find somebody new
I don't wanna live without your love
I just wanna live my life with you

Repeat

Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Dancing lights againnst the sky
Giving up I close my eyes
Sitting cross-legged on the floor
25 or 6 to 4

Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wondering how much I can take
Should have tried to do some more
25 or 6 to 4

[Guitar break]

Feeling like I ought to sleep
Spinning room is sinking deep
Searching for something to say
Waiting for the break of day
25 or 6 to 4
25 or 6 to 4

I understand there's no future for us here
Guess I fooled myself into thinking there was
Now you've made it clear
It'll never be right
Guess we knew it all along
Now we've got to say good-bye and I've got to be strong
So tell me one more time how it's better for the both of us
Tell me one more time how we'll hurt each other if we stay
Tell me one more time then darling there's just one more thing
Before you walk away
(Chorus)
Explain it to my heart
It's better that we're over now
Tell me one more time this is the way that it's supposed to be
Tell me that I'm better off without you
How it's better to forget about you
Darling I understand
Now won't you please explain it to my heart


Now if I try I can see the reasons why
Why we can't stay together and I might convince my mind
But it's breaking my heart to know I've got to let you go
To find that I must leave behind the only love I've known
Well I can tell myself that I never really needed you
I can tell myself that it's better just to say good-bye
I can tell myself a thousand lies
But tell me now
Tell me how do I
(Chorus)
Say that I'll be better
If we don't stay together
Say that I'll be better off free
But don't say it to me
Explain it to my heart...

There's a time when the heart can no longer give in
You try to stand up and fight
You've known pain for so long and you know what's gone wrong
But you can't make it right
Another broken heart is all you're feeling
How can you go on
But the memories of the times there was love in your eyes
Keep leading me on
(Chorus)
If it were you
Would you hold on and hope that it might
Bring back the dreams we once knew
Or just give up forever that part of your life
Tell me what would you do
If it were you


You can never take back all you've given in love
No matter how hard you try
Once it's over and done you just have to let go
Though a part of you died
Another waste of time is all that's left now
But life must go on
All the nights that we spent, never thought they would end
Why can't they go on
(Chorus)
If it were you
Would you hold on and hope that it might
Bring back the love we once knew
Or just give up forever that part of your life
Tell me what would you do
If it were you
If it were you
Tell me what would you do
If it were you
Over and over I go back through time
Didn't we promise our love till we die
Asking you deep down inside
Did we really try
Another broken heart is all that's left
But life must go on
All the nights that we spent, never thought they would end
Why can't they go on
(Chorus)

I picture you on the beach
Lying in the sand
Out of reach of my trembling hands
I picture you in a car
Blonde hair in the wind
I picture you in my arms
And the touch of your skin
The smile on your face
The way that you taste
(Chorus)
You come to my senses
Every time I close my eyes
I have no defenses
You come to my senses
I can't stop this ache inside
I have no defenses
You come to my senses


Driving home in the cold
January rain
I've got to find my way out of this pain
I reached for you in the night
I dreamed of your kiss
I woke before it got light
With your name on my lips
Alone in my bed
Your voice in my head
(Chorus)
I picture you in my arms
And the touch of your skin
The smile on your face
The way that you taste
You come to my senses
Every time I close my eyes
I have no defenses
You come to my senses
I can't stop this ache inside
Oh, I have no defenses
You come to my senses
Ah...

The sun is coming up
But I don't see the light
I keep goin' on and on
Thinking 'bout where we went wrong
I've always heard that love
Could stand the test of time
But somethin' that we had is gone
Maybe we just stayed too long
I wish that I could lie
And tell myself it's alright
It was nothing at all
(Chorus)
Somebody, somewhere
Is falling in love tonight
Is it nothing at all
Somebody, somewhere
Is saying their last goodbyes
I gotta know
Is it the same when it comes
And when love goes


Where do I go from here
Don't know where to turn
Will you find another face
Or disappear in yesterday
Should I hold on
Should I let all the memories go
Was it nothing at all
(Chorus)
She comes and goes...
(Chorus)

All I do is think about you
I never did let go of what we were
Can't pretend I'll live without you
As I learn to live alone
Why can't I be a man about it
I've tried and tried to hide you from my heart
If I could just forget about us
If I knew just where to start
You're still my destiny
(Chorus)
What does it take
To win you back
To hold in these arms once more
What can I say
To make you understand
You're still all I'm waiting for


At times I feel it's best without you
And times I still believe in you so much
After what I've been through without you
You'd think that I'd move on
But you're still my destiny
(Chorus)
What does it take
'Cause we can't go back
Can't be like it was before
What does it take
To win you back
To hold in these arms
What does it take
What will it take now
You're still my destiny
(Chorus)

I'm movin' too fast, the pace of things has got to change
I never have time to think of words I want to say
I look around me, I don't know who really knows
What does it matter anyway?
Sometimes I feel like I've got a heart made out of stone
And somedays I feel so alone
When nobody sees what's going on anymore
If I could just know that someone's there
One from the heart that's all it takes
One to hold you, one who knows you
One to one together
One from the heart, one for each day
One to lean on, one to keep on
Keep on getting stronger the more I see your face


It's never too late to get to where I want to go
It's never too late to get to love someone
All that I need is to be more than yesterday
And all I can give along the way
One from the heart that's all it takes
One to hold you, one who knows you
One to one together
One from the heart, one for each day
One to lean on, one to keep on
The words you will remember
The words you'll hear me say
It's all about love
It's all about give and take

Did the best I could
To make you mine
If you ever felt anything for me
Well, you never gave a sign

Thought time would make you change
Make you want me
But baby I never had a chance
Now I know that there's just some things
Just not meant to be

CHORUS

No use
Making you care about me
No way
That I'm gonna win
Oh darlin'
I might as well be
Chasin' the wind
Oh, I'm just
Chasin' the wind

Opened up my heart
Let you inside
If love was what you were lookin' for
Well, I guess it wasn't mine

So I guess I better go
It's over and done
But you know I'm not really sad at all
'Cause you can't really say it's over
When it never had begun

CHORUS

Can't reach the sea
If you can't get past the sand
Can't touch the sky
If you can't reach up your hand
Can't give if you give nothing back

CHORUS

Smoke in the sky
Slime in the sea
Tall timber tumblin' down around me
Red acid rain
Glows in the night
Nuclear winter closes down on me
The light of the world is fading to black
And the absence of people who care
Is bringing me down, bringing me down
(Chorus)
God save the queen
Dear mother earth is dying away
Time's running out
One more tomorrow depends on today


Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Greenhouse condition getting' steamier
Nobody's clean
Nobody's free
Nobody's breathin' any easier
The children of earth are dying each day
And the nightmare of who is to blame
Is bringing me down, bringing me down
(Chorus)

Girl, when the moon across the water starts to rise
I'll be looking for tomorrow and I'll see it in your eyes
Girl, though the strongest heart'll shatter in a storm
Now we got this love that we can run to
Tonight, I'll keep you warm
(Chorus)
Man to woman
When you're lying next to me
Man to woman
Girl you're everything I need
Hold on, we'll always be
Always you and me


Hold me close
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've known
I can feel the fire that burns inside you
Look how this love has grown
(Chorus)
Man to woman (man to woman)
Man to woman (man to woman)
Just say we'll always be
Always you and me
I wanna hold you in the night
Can't you see
That I'm just livin' for your light
I want the world to know
I can't let you go
(Chorus)
Man to woman (man to woman)
Man to woman (man to woman)
I want the world to see
Baby what you mean to me

Only Time Can Heal The Wounded

You hear a sound as she's leaving
You'll hear your heart pound so hard
You'll miss her warm touch and the way things once were
It's such a cold town when you miss her
It's not the same place no more
When it's hard to mend what's broken
And you still can't let her go
Beyond the storm there's an answer
Beyond the nights you spend alone
Beyond the headlights and the highways you go
You'll take a long ride without her
Until the tears dry away
In every way you try to reason
When there's no reason left to hold
Only time can heal the wounded of love
Any day now time will tell
Only love can turn it all around again
There's no heart that time can't heal


Whatever pieces you're missing
Whatever you leave behind
However you look at things they do change
It's not the same conversation
It's not the way that it was
There'll be one less tear tomorrow
There'll be one less night alone
Only time can heal the wounded of love
Any day now time will tell
Only love can turn it all around again
There's no heart that time can't heal
Only time can heal the wounded of love
There's no heart that time can't heal

I never know
What you're gonna do
You're always so far away
Down below
You used to tell the truth
Now you're lookin' for something to say
You give me those eyes
And then look away
Do you want me down on my knees
Are you livin' a lie
Is this some kind of game
Baby, won't you tell me please
Give me one good reason to stay
When you won't come
Right out and say
(Chorus)
Who do you love
What makes you happen
What do you need for satisfaction
Who do you love
I need an answer
Is it just about a good time, good time
Who do you love


I wish that you'd lie
Or tell me the truth
So I can decide for myself
Maybe you've tried
What we used to do
With somebody, somewhere else
Give me one good reason to stay
When you won't come
Right out and say
(Chorus)

Walkin' through time
Reachin' for yesterday
'cause we're frightened of tomorrow
Trying to find
The feeling that's gone astray, far away
I remember the look in your eyes
Love we made unafraid
Now we've opened the window
So let's not close the shade
(chorus)
Holdin' on
'cause the memory of you
Is something i just can't erase
Holdin' on
I don't know what to do
'cause the pieces won't fit into place
But no matter what happens
We can't let it end this way

So far away
So close to something new
But we're holdin' off tomorrow
Maybe someday
We'll find what we need to do, until then
We'll be doing the best that we can
Out of rhyme, out of time
While we're hiding our feelings
We're leaving love behind
(chorus)
Far away
Reachin' for yesterday
So far away
Something has gone away
So afraid
To find what we had
(chorus)

CHICAGO, CHICAGO, that toddlin' town
CHICAGO, CHICAGO, I'll show you around (You'll stay around)
Bet your bottom dollar you lose the blues in
CHICAGO, CHICAGO, the folks who visit
All wanna settle down. (All wanna settle down in my hometown)
On State Street, that great street, I just wanna say,
They do things they don't do on Broadway,
You'll have the time, the time of your life
Bring all your friends, all your kids and your wife to
CHICAGO, CHICAGO my hometown.
(Hey now baby--)

(Oooh baby)
You'll have the time, the time of your life
Bring all your friends, all your kids and your wife to
CHICAGO, CHICAGO my hometown.
Oh, to CHICAGO, CHICAGO my hometown (yeah)

Night and stars above that shine so bright
The mystery of their fading light
That shines upon our CARAVAN.
Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep
Across the sands so I may keep
The mem'ry of our CARAVAN.
This is so exciting, you are so inviting
Resting in my arms
Thrill to the magic, the magic of your charms
You beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert CARAVAN.

This is so exciting, you are so inviting
Resting in my arms
Thrill to the magic, the magic of your charms
Night and stars above that shine so bright
The mystery of their fading light
That shines upon our CARAVAN.

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper I love you
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Just say good night and kiss me
Oh, hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn, my dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Say nighty night and kiss me
Oh, hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me

(Hey, got yourself a good thing, it's a good thing
It's a good thing, got yourself a good thing
I won't let you go.)

So you met someone who set you back on your heels,
Goody Goody!
So you met someone and now you know how it feels,
Goody Goody!
So you gave him your heart too, just as I gave mine to you.
And he broke it in little pieces, now how do you do?

So you lie awake just singin' the blues all night,
Goody Goody!
So you think that love's a barrel of dynamite.
Hooray and hallelujah!
You had it comin' to ya.
Goody Goody for him, Goody Goody for me,
And I hope you're satisfied, you rascal you.

(Good thing, got yourself a good thing
It's a good thing, got yourself a good thing
I won't let you go.)

So you met someone who set you back on your heels,
Goody Goody!
So you met somebody and now you know how it feels,
Goody Goody!
So you gave him your heart too just as I gave mine to you.
And he stuck it in his collection, section ninety-two.

So you lie awake just singin' the blues all night,
So you think that love's a barrel of dynamite.
Hooray and hallelujah!
You had it comin' to ya.
Goody Goody for him, Goody Goody for me,
And I hope you're satisfied, you rascal you.

Stars are aglow and tonight how their light sets me dreaming,
My love, do you know that your eyes
are like stars brightly beaming?
I bring you and sing you
A Moonlight Serenade.
Let us stray till break of day
In love's valley of dreams,
You and I, a summer sky,
A heavenly breeze kisses the trees.
So don't let me wait, come to me tenderly in the June light.
I stand at your gate and I sing you a song in the moonlight,
A love song, my darling,
A Moonlight Serenade.

We can stay till break of day
In love's valley of dreams,
You and I, a summer sky,
A heavenly breeze kisses the trees.
So don't let me wait, come to me tenderly in the June light.
I stand at your gate and I sing you a song in the moonlight,
A love song, my darling,
A Moonlight Serenade.

Night and day, you are the one;
Only you beneath the moon, under the sun.
Whether near to me or far,
It's no matter darlin', where you are;
I think of you, night and day.

Night and day, why's it so,
That this longing for you, follows wherever i go.
In the roaring traffic's boom;
In the silence of my lonely room;I think of you, night and day.

Night and day, under the hide of me,
There's an old, such a hungry yearning, burning inside of me;
And this torment won't be through,
Till you let me spend my life making love to you;
Day and night, night and day

My mama done told me when I was in knee-pants,
My mama done told me, she said Son!
A woman will sweet-talk ya, she'll give you the big eye,
But when that sweet talkin' is done
A woman's a two-face, a worrisome thing
Who'll leave ya to sing the Blues In The Night.

Now the rain's a fallin', hear the train a callin', whoo-ee,
Hear the lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross the trestle, whoo-ee,
Whoo-ee-a-whoo-ee, ol' clickety-clack
I'm back on the track of Blues In The Night

The evening breeze will start the trees to cryin'
And the moonlight'll hide its light,
When you get the Blues In The Night.

Take my word, the mockingbird
He will sing the saddest kind of song,
He knows things are wrong and he's right.
From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to St. Joe,
Wherever the four winds seem to blow,
I've been in some big towns and I've heard me some big talkin',
But there is one thing I know,
A woman's a two-face, she's a worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing the Blues In The Night.

(Got a case of the Blues In The Night, don't know what to do
Blues every night...)

Sing, sing, sing, sing
Everybody's got to sing
Stick with us we'll have a ball.
Sing, sing, sing, sing
Everybody's got to sing
Stick around we'll have it all.
Music brightens up the day
Now, if you like it we will stay.
Sing, sing, sing, sing
Everybody's got to sing
Stick around, shake it down.

They say into your early life romance came,
And in this heart of yours burned a flame,
A flame that flickered one day and died away,
Then, with disillusion deep in your eyes,
You learned that fools in love soon grow wise,
The years have changed you, somehow;
I see you now...
Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow,
Nonchalant, diamonds shining, dancing, dining
With some man in a restaurant
Is that all you really want?
No, Sophisticated Lady, I know,
You miss the love you lost long ago,
And when nobody is nigh you cry.

Is that all you really want?
No, Sophisticated Lady, I know,
You miss the heart you lost long ago,
And when nobody is nigh you cry.

No, Sophisticated Lady, you cry.

Always been the kind of girl to hold it back,
When you know that you want to;
Someone always had to tell you where it's at;
Now you know that you want to.
Somethin' in the music's gonna make you move.
Now you know that you want to;
The rhythm's gonna put the woman In The Mood,
Now you definitely want to.
In The Mood, In The Mood,
In the groove, In The Mood;
You've got yourselves an attitude.
In The Mood, In The Mood,
In the groove, In The Mood;
You've got yourself an attitude.

In The Mood, In The Mood,
In the groove, In The Mood;
You've got yourself an attitude.

Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't Get Around Much Anymore.

Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you Don't Get Around Much Anymore.

Oh, darling I guess
My mind's more at ease
But nevertheless
Why stir up memories.

Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
It's awfully diff'rent without you
Don't Get Around Much Anymore.

Come on down, Let's take the A train
To take a little ride around the city.
Brooklyn, Oh and Broadway train,
You'll see that old New York is kinda pretty

Take your baby subway riding,
That's where romance may be hiding.
Take, you should take the A train,
To get to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem.

Come on, baby, come on board the A train,
that's the way you get to Sugar Hill in Harlem.
And if you get aboard the A train,
You get to Sugar Hill and in a hurry

Listen here, Listen to the train a-comin
Hear the rails a-hummin
(Let's take a ride)
Climb aboard, Climb aboard the A train
To take a little ride around the city
All Aboard

Saturday in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
Saturday in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
People dancing, people laughing
A man selling ice cream
Singing Italian songs
(Fake Italian lyric)
Can you dig it (yes, I can)
And I've been waiting such a long time
For Saturday

Saturday in the park
You'd think it was the Fourth of July
Saturday in the park
You'd think it was the Fourth of July
People talking, really smiling
A man playing guitar
Singing for us all
Will you help him change the world
Can you dig it (yes, I can)
And I've been waiting such a long time
For today

Slow motion riders fly the colors of the day
A bronze man still can tell stories his own way
Listen children all is not lost
All is not lost

Funny days in the park
Every day's the Fourth of July
Funny days in the park
Every day's the Fourth of July
People reaching, people touching
A real celebration
Waiting for us all
If we want it, really want it
Can you dig it (yes, I can)
And I've been waiting such a long time
For the day

Hey there everybody
Please don't romp or roam
We're a little nervous
Cause we're so far from home
So this is what we do
Sit back and let us groove
And let us work on you

We've all spent years preparing
before this band was born
With heaven's help it blended
And we do thank the lord

As I was walking down the street one day
A man came up to me and asked me what
The time was that was on my watch, yeah...And I said

(I don't) Does anybody really know what time it is
(Care) Does anybody really care (about time)
If so I can't imagine why (Oh no, no)
We've all got time enough to cry

And I was walking down the street one day
A pretty lady looked at me
And said her diamond watch
had stopped cold dead...And I said

(I don't)
Does anybody really know what time it is
(Care) Does anybody really care (about time)
If so I can't imagine why (Oh no, no)
We've all got time enough to cry

And I was walking down the street one day
Being pushed and shoved by people trying to
Beat the clock, oh, no I just don't know
I don't know, and I said, yes I said

(Background:)
People runnin' everywhere
Don't know where to go
Don't know where I am
Can't see past the next step
Don't have time to think past the last mile
Have no time to look around
Just run around, run around and think why

(I don't) Does anybody really know what time it is
(Care) Does anybody really care (about time)
If so I can't imagine why (Oh no, no)
We've all got time enough to die
Everybody's working (I don't)
I don't care (About time)
About time (Oh no, no) I don't care

When I'm with you,
it doesn't matter where we are,
or what we're doing
I'm with you, that's all that matters

Time passes much too quickly
when we're together laughing
I wish I could sing it to you, oh no
I wish I could sing it to you

Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa,
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa,
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Mostly I'm silent,
mm-hm-hm-hm...Silent, la la la la la
Never think of the right words to say

When I kiss you,
I feel a thousand different feelings
The color of chills all over my body,
yeah, yeah, yeah

And when I feel them,
I quickly try to decide which one
I should try to put into words,
oh no, try to put into words

Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa,
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa,
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Mostly I'm silent...Silent...

Only the beginning of what I want to feel forever
Yeah, oh, oh, whoa
Yes, only the beginning of what I want to feel forever
Only the beginning, only just the start, yeah
I've got to get you into my life mama,
I've got to get you next to me
Only the beginning, only just the start
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...Mmm-hmmm...

Can this feeling that we have together
Oooh, suddenly exist between
Did this meeting of our minds together
Oooh, happen just today, some way

I'd like to know
Can you tell me; please don't tell me
It really doesn't matter anyhow
It's just that the thought of us so happy
Appears in my mind,
as a beautifully mysterious thing

Was your image in my mind so deeply
Oooh, other faces fade away
Blocking memories of unhappy hours
Oooh, leavin' just a burnin' love

I'd like to know
Can you tell me; please don't tell me
It really doesn't matter anyhow
It's just that the thought of us so happy
Appears in my mind,
as a beautifully mysterious thing
Yes it does now baby

Can this lovin' we have found within us
Oooh, suddenly exist between
Did we somehow try to make it happen
Oooh, was it just a natural thing

I'd like to know
Can you tell me -- please don't tell me
It really doesn't matter anyhow
It's just that the thought of us so happy
Appears in my mind,
as a beautifully mysterious thing
Yes it does now baby
Questions 67 and 68

Listen
If you think that we're here for the money
You could be right, you know-ow-ow-ow
But the bread is not too good here
Well, that all was a-natural
I said all you got to do is listen

Listen
If you don't hear it you can tell us
If it's good you can tell us all
Or you can smile, that's alright my friend
It could be so nice, you know
If only you would listen

Listen
If you don't understand it, no no no no
You got to try to fly
And don't you put me down, please
For creating beyond your mind
I said all you got to do is listen

The way you talk
The things you've done
Make me wish I
Was the only one
Who could ever have made you laugh now
Could have made you
Made you want to cry
To have been there the day
You first whispered "I love you"
Yes I love you

When you discovered
All those new things
And when you first
First met the world
When you felt beautiful
And you said hello
To everything you saw
If I could have been all
So I could have known you all those times
I love you
Yes, I love you
Yes I do

Cloudy every morning
Sun don't never shine

Since I lost my baby
I been losing my mind

I thought this was a warm place
I must be in the wrong place
Thought this was a warm place

And I don't know where I'm going
Since my lover left me
Never no smile on my face

Buddy, ain't this LA?
I've traveled such a long way
Buddy, ain't this LA?

But without my baby here

No, whoa, no

Well my Daddy sent a message
'bout the whiskers on my chin
Never had no problems
'cause I've always paid the rent
I got no time for lovin'
'cause my time is all used up
I spend that time creatin'
For some groovy kinds of love

I'm a man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so
I'm a man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so

If I had my choice of matter
I'd rather be content
Being closer to the chatter
Than where your mind is at
While relating to each other
How strong your love will be
'cept that only sometimes
groovy chicks you see

I'm a man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so
I'm a man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so

I've got to keep my image
While I'm standing on the floor
If I drop upon my knees
It's just to keep her on my nose
You think that I'm not human
And my heart is made of stone
But I've never had no problems
And my body's pretty strong

I'm a man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so
I'm a man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so
I'm a man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so
Man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so
Oh God I love you so,
I love you so

If I had my choice of matter
I'd rather be content
Playing closer to the chest
Knowin' where your mind is at
While relating to each other
How good your love can be
Resisting only sometimes groovy chicks you see

I'm a man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so
I'm a man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so

I gotta keep my image
While I'm standin' on the floor
If I drop upon my knees
It's just to keep them on my nose
You think that I'm not human
And my heart is made of stone
But I never had no problems
And my body's pretty strong

I'm a man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so
Man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so
Man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so
Man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so

Would you look around you now
And tell me what you see
Faces full of hate and fear
Faces full of me
Do you feel the rumblings
As your head comes crumbling down
Do you know what I mean

Run, you better, run you know
The end is getting near
Feel the wind of something hard
Come whistling past your ear
As they try to get you
Where it will upset you down
Now you know what I mean

Someday you will see how long
We've been waiting for the time
To show you how we've died
To get together with you all

Twist and turn your head around
'Till everything's unclear
Twist and turn your arm around
Until it is not there
And they'd love to burn you
Or at least to turn you around
Now you know what I mean

Can you look around you now
And tell us what's to be
Can you look inside yourself
And tell us what you see
As you feel the rumblings
As your head comes crumbling down
And you know what I mean

Someday you will see how long
We've waited for the time
To show you how we've died
To get together with you all

If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me
No baby please don't go
If you leave me now, you'll take away the very heart of me
No baby please don't go
Girl I just want you to stay

A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way
When tomorrow comes we'll both regret
Things we said today

A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way
When tomorrow comes we'll both regret
Things we said today

If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me
No baby please don't go
Oh girl, just got to have you by my side

No baby, please don't go

Oh mama, I just got to have your lovin, yeah

Oh my reasons
And my ways

From day to day
As i grow

Why i'm here

For you and me
The beauty of life
Someday you'll see
Then you'll join in
And sing along
And you'll understand why i sing this song
Let me tell you now

Well i'm talkin' bout life
And livin'
And the beautiful earth
And givin'
Talkin 'bout the natural things we've had since birth
That's lovin'

Mother nature's sweet charm
The smell of her perfume
As we walk arm in arm
Let me tell you now
I do love you
I do love you
I do love you

Well it's a beautiful day
And i'm on my way
Oooh, thank you lord, for the country

Well my thoughts
Are like ripples in a stream
I see myself so free
My eyes and spirit say hello
My soul goes dancing by, oh hello

The clean fresh air
Goes jumping through my head
The sun is smilin' down
If you have ever lived out here
Then you know why i say
I do love you
I do love you
I do love you

So come on let's move
Out to the country
Yeah, let's go live out there
Come on people

We got to be free
In the country
You and me
Come on people
Come on people
Better have a good time
We'll have a good time
We got to be free

Going where the orange sun has never died
And your swirling marble eyes shine
Laughing
Burning blue the light
Bittersweet the drops of life
Memories only fading

Fancy colours
Fancy colours

All we ever did see
When we're down at the sea
We see things so very clear at the sea

Fancy colours
Fancy colours

All we ever can do
The morning covered with dew
We do things so very fine in the dew

Fancy colours
Fancy colours

All we ever do hear
But whether we're here or there
We hear things so very fine when we're there

Beginnings

When I'm with you, it doesn't matter where we are,
Or what we're doing. I'm with you, that's all that matters.
Time passes much too quickly when we're together laughing.
I wish I could sing it to you, oh no,
I wish I could sing it to you.
Mostly I'm silent.
Never think about words to say.


When I kiss you, I feel a thousand different feelings.
The color of chills all over my body.
And when I feel them, I quickly try to decide which one
I should try to put into words, oh no,
Try to put into words.
Mostly I'm silent.


Only the beginning of what I want to feel forever.
Only the beginning. Only just the start.
I've got to get you into my life.
Got to get you next to me.
Only the beginning. Only just the start.

Can't stand it no more
The people dying
Crying for help for so many years
But nobody hears
Better end soon my friend
It better end soon my friend

Hey there everybody
Please don't romp or roam
We're a little nervous
'Cause we're so far from home
So this is what we do
Sit back and let us groove
And let us work on you
We've all spent years preparing
before this band was born
With heaven's help it blended
And we do thank the lord.
Now we put you through the changes
And turned around the mood
We hope it's struck you different
And hope you feel moved
So forget about your troubles
As we search for something new
And we play for you

Driving down the concrete beams
Looking around and it now seems
Mama earth is nowhere
Gone from your eyes
Hidden in the crust
Of man's scientific dreams
She is gone

Natural man took her natural face
Made it a strange and alien place
You can't bear to look
'cause she ain't there
Our mother has been raped
And left to die in disgrace
She is gone

Oh my
Life has passed me by
The country i was brought up in
Fell apart and died

Oh no
Love's no longer there
Cold wind blew away the sun
That used to warm the air

Lowdown
Ooo feeling pretty bad
Feeling like i lost the best friend
That i ever had

Lowdown
Ooo got to find a way
Got to make the people see
The way i feel today

You are, you are on a plane now
And on your way up north
Canada is so far from where you want to be
Be in california, with sunshine in your heart
But you know there are people
That you have to be
Have to be
Have to be what they say you are
What you always wanted to be
Wanted to be
Wanted to be just a man
Fulfilled but a little more free
A little more free

You are, you are in a hotel
And in your room alone
Lying there, but not knowing where you're s'posed to be
Be thinking of b-3s and leslies going round
And you know there are people
That are going to be
Going to be
Going to see what they say you are
What you've always wanted to be
Wanted to be
I only wanted to be just a man
Fulfilled but a little more free
A little more free
A little more free

I just want to be free
I just want to be free
I wanna be free of all the hurt
I wanna be free of all the pain
I want to just end these lonely hours
End these lonely days
I just want to be free
I just want to be free
I just want to be free
I just want to be free

Every day just gets a little shorter don't you think
Take a look around you, and you'll see just what i mean
People got to come together, not just out of fear

Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go from here?

Try to find a better place, but soon it's all the same
What once you thought was a paradise is not just what it seems
The more i look around i find, the more i have to fear

Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go from here?

I know it's hard for you to
Change your way of life
I know it's hard for you to do
The world is full of people
Dying to be free
So if you don't my friend
There's no life for you, no world for me

Let's all get together soon, before it is too late
Forget about the past and let your feelings fade away
If you do i'm sure you'll see the end is not yet near

Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go from here?

I don't want your money
It don't mean a thing
I don't need no fancy clothes
Or a diamond ring
I don't have to ride in style
In your limousine
I don't want no trouble
Tax or Uncle Sam
All I want is you
I want to be your natural man

I don't need your prestige
'Cause I got my pride
I don't want your social standing
I'd rather stand outside
I don't have no time to worry
'Bout your greedy jive
I don't want your money
I don't like that game
All I want is you
I want to be your natural man

Children play in the park, they don't know
I'm alone in the dark, even though
Time and time again i see your face smiling inside

I'm so happy
That you love me
Life is lovely
When you're near me
Tell me you will stay
Make me smile

Living life is just a game so they say
All the games we used to play fade away
We may now enjoy the dreams we shared so long ago

Oh my darling
Got to have you
Feel the magic
When i hold you
Cry sweet tears of joy
Touch the sky

So hard to be
Free to
Love only you
People
Starin' at me
Try to
Take you away
There's no
Time to delay
We've got to live for today
I've got
So much to give
There is
So much to say
Night after night
Day after day
In spite of our words
They all turn away

Colour My World

As time goes on,
I realize
Just what you mean
To me
And now,
Now that you're near,
Promise your love
That I've waited to share
And dreams
Of our moments together
Color my world with hope of loving you

Now i need you
More than ever
No more cryin'
We're together
Tell me you will stay
Make me smile

Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Flashing lights against the sky
Giving up, I close my eyes

Sitting cross-legged on the floor
Twenty-five or six to four

Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wond'ring how much I can take

Should I try to do some more
Twenty-five or six to four

Feeling like I ought to sleep
Spinning room is sinking deep
Searching for something to say
Waiting for the break of day

Twenty-five or six to four
Twenty-five or six to four

Well my pad is very messy, got whiskers on my chin
Never had no problems 'cause I've always paid the rent
I got no time for lovin'
Cause my time is all used up
I stand outside creatin'
All the groovy kinds of love

I'm a man, yes I am and I can't help but love you so
Oh baby
I'm a man, yes I am and I can't help but love you so
Yes I am

If I had my choice of matter
I'd would rather be with cats
All engrossed in mental chatter,
Showing where your mind is at
While relating to each other
How strong the love can be
By resisting all the good times with each groovy chick we see

I'm a man yes I am and I can't help but love you so
Oooh, I'm a man, yes I am
I'm a man yes I am and I can't help but love you so
I love to hear you talk

I've got to keep my image
While I'm standing on the floor
If I drop upon my knees
It's just to keep them on my nose
You think that I'm not human
And my heart is made of stone
But I've never had no problems
And my body's pretty strong

I'm a man yes I am and I can't help but love you so
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes I know
I'm a man yes I am and I can't help but love you so
Oooh
Man yes I am and I can't help but love you so
Good god I love you so, love you so

If I had my choice of matter
I would rather be with cats
All engrossed in mental chatter
Knowin' where your mind is at
While relating to each other
How good a love can be
By resisting all the good times with each groovy chick we see

I'm a man yes I am and I can't help but love you so
Yes I am
I'm a man yes I am and I can't help but love you so
Yeah, yeah yeah. I'm a
Man yes I am and I can't help but love you so
I'm a man, ooh yes I am

I gotta keep my image
While I'm standin on the floor
If I drop upon my knees (?)
?
You think that I'm not human
And my heart is made of stone
But I never had no problems
And my body's pretty strong

I'm a
Man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
Owww.. I'm A
Man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
Man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
Man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so

Listen
If you think that we're here for the money
You could be right, you know-ow-ow-ow
But the bread is not too good here
Well, that all was a-natural
I said all you got to do is listen

Listen
If you don't hear it you can tell us
If it's good you can tell us all
Or you can smile, that's alright my friend
It could be so nice, you know
If only you would listen

Listen
If you don't understand it, no no no no
You got to try to fly
And don't you put me down, please
For creating beyond your mind
I said all you got to do is listen

Hey there everybody
Please don't romp or roam
We're a little nervous
'Cause we're so far from home
So this is what we do
Sit back and let us groove
And let us work on you
We've all spent years preparing
before this band was born
With heaven's help it blended
And we do thank the lord.
Now we put you through the changes
And turned around the mood
We hope it's struck you different
And hope you feel moved
So forget about your troubles
As we search for something new
And we play for you

Cloudy every morning
Sun don't never shine
Cloudy every morning
Sun don't ever shine
Since I lost my baby
I been losing my mind

I thought this was a warm place
I must be in the wrong place
Thought this was a warm place
I must be in the wrong place
And I don't know where I'm going
Since my lover left me
Never no smile on my face

I am he is you are he is you are me
and we are all together, whoa whoa

Buddy, ain't this LA?
I've traveled such a long way
Buddy, ain't this LA?
I've traveled such a long way
And I still don't know where I'm going
But without my baby here
I better not stay
I better not stay
No, whoa, no

Sing a mean tune, kid
Sock 'em in the gut, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't you ever let your mama catch you cryin'

Play the bad song, kid
Everyone's the blues yeah, yeah, yeah
And the people never know you're only lying

What a scary song, kid
Never heard before yeah, yeah, yeah
Soon the groupies will start rolling by your door

Burn the groove to death, kid
Nail 'em to the cross yeah, yeah, yeah
Till you're not a super pop star any more

Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Flashing lights against the sky
Giving up, I close my eyes

Sitting cross-legged on the floor
Twenty-five or six to four

Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wond'ring how much I can take

Should I try to do some more
Twenty-five or six to four

Feeling like I ought to sleep
Spinning room is sinking deep
Searching for something to say
Waiting for the break of day

Twenty-five or six to four
Twenty-five or six to four

So everybody's pulling you in all directions
You don't know how much longer to take it
So you've learned how to fake it

That smile on the outside's fading fast
Like the things that you thought for sure would last
But they didn't
You know something's missing
Is it your life you're not living?

Your heart is cold, your soul is numb
You don't like who you've become
You played the game and paid the cost for long enough
So grab the reins, take the wheel
Lose what's not and keep what's real
It's not too late
Just close your eyes and feel, feel

You can't tell if you're happy or sad
Can't tell the good from bad
You're senseless
To waste your senses

Maybe stop thinking with your head
Start using your heart instead
Just try it
You just might like it
Aren't you dying to start livin'?

Your heart is cold, your soul is numb
You don't like who you've become
You played the game and paid the cost for long enough
So grab the reins, take the wheel
Lose what's not and keep what's real
It's not too late
Just close your eyes and feel, feel

Every breath that's going through you
Take each day that's given to you
To love back the ones who love you, yeah, yeah

Your heart is cold, your soul is numb
You don't like who you've become
You played the game and paid the cost for long enough
So grab the reins, take the wheel
Lose what's not and keep what's real
It's not too late, it's not too late
It's not too late
Just close your eyes and feel, feel

Your heart is cold, your soul is numb
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
You've played the game for long enough
Everybody's pulling you in all directions

You can count on a number of things
Like tomorrow the sun's gonna shine
There'll be flowers in spring time
Poets will make rhymes
Couples in moonlight are so ripe to fall

Fallin' in love, such a natural thing
There's a look in that one person's eyes
And the moment we know it
We don't want to blow it
So we get way too careful and it all slips away

You've always told me
You can do better
And something would always come along,
And so I listened, down to the letter
'Til somebody better came along

You... you can do better
Talkin' to you, you, you, you...
You gotta do better!

Now I feel like I'm swimming upstream
When the current is running so strong
I'm a fish out of water
The first time I saw you
Couldn't keep it together
Don't care if I'm wrong
But it seems like forever
Since we got along

You've always told me
You can do better
And something would always come along
And so I listened, down to the letter
'Til somebody better came along

You said it so often
You thought I'd believe it
That I was always doin' it wrong,
But you always said that
You could take it or leave it
So, somebody better came along!

You've always told me
You can do better
And something would always come along
And so I listened, down to the letter
'Til somebody better came along

You said it so often
You thought I'd believe it
That I was always doin' it wrong,
But you always said that
You could take it or leave it
So, somebody better came along!

You... You can do better, better.
Talkin' to you, you, you...
You gotta do better!

Everybody need a little time away
I heard her say from each other
Even lovers need a holiday
Far away from each other
Hold me now
It's hard for me to say
I'm sorry
I just want you to stay
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise you
And after all that's been
said and done
You're just a part of me
I can't let go

Couldn't stand to kept away
just for a day from your body
Wouldn't wanna be swept away
Far away from the one that I love
Hold me now
It's hard for me to say
I'm sorry
I just want you to know
Hold me now
I really wanna tell you
I'm sorry
I could never let you go
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise you
And after all that's been
said and done
You're just a part of me
I can't let go
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise you

Nothing's gonna turn your head
You wouldn't let it
Nothing's gonna change your mind

You just wanna get ahead
And you can't forget it
Leaving all the best behind

Never know what you got
'Til it's moved down the line
Take a look at yourself in the mirror
You'll find, you'll find

(Hearts in trouble)
It's hard to tell
When you're losing touch
You can't find love
When you got so much
(Hearts in trouble)
Don't you know that
I'll be there for you

Turn around and see
What love can do for you

Something getting in your way
You can't shake it
It's never gonna let you go, oh

Running from your yesterday
You won't make it
If you never let it go

All the things that you need
You've been leaving behind
Soon your heart's gonna bleed
You've been losing your mind
You can't hide

(Hearts in trouble)
It's hard to tell
When you're losing touch
You can't find love
When you got so much
(Hearts in trouble)
Don't you know that
I'll be there for you

Turn around and see
What love can do for you

Never know what you got
'Til it's moved down the line
Take a look at yourself in the mirror
You'll find, you'll find

(Hearts in trouble)
It's hard to tell
When you're losing touch
You can't find love
When you got so much
(Hearts in trouble)
Don't you know that
I'll be there for you

Turn around and see
What love can do

(Hearts in trouble)
It's hard to tell
When you're losing touch
You can't find love
When you got so much
(Hearts in trouble)
Don't you know that
I'll be there for you

Turn around and see
What love can do

Something gonna turn your head
You're gonna get it
Something gonna change your mind

I don't want you to misunderstand me
I just wanna say what's on my mind.
No need to hit me with an attitude because I haven't got the time.
I want you to know one thing's for certain
I surely love your company.
And I won't take "no" if that's your answer
at least that's my philosophy.
Stay the night
there's room enough here for two.
Stay the night
I'd like to spend it with you.
Stay the night
why don't we call it a day?
No one can stop us
nothing is in the way.
Have some friendly conversation
and if you still don't have a clue.
Unless there's something else you've got in mind

We've got bettef things to do.
Stay the night
there's room enough here for two. . . .

Iust to have you near me
here by my side

Just to have you near me
and when I get next to your body

Just to have you near me
I wanna tell you something
make it perfectly clear
We're gonna have a very good time.
Stay the night
there's room enough here for two. . . .
No one can stop us
nothing is in the way.
I only wanna say: Stay the night
there's room enough here for two

What has happened to our town
There's people sleepin' on the ground
Cold and lost, they fear the night
Left alone, they lose the fight

Hadn't we better reach
For more than just a dime
Shouldn't we try to talk
That boy out of his crime

Haven't you had it
Knowing nothing's getting solved
Maybe we'd better
Better get involved

We could stop the hurtin' for awhile
We could stop the hurtin' for awhile, whoa
If we found a way to reconcile
We could stop the hurtin'

Families livin' in their cars
And kids run numbers out of bars, hey
Knowing pride won't pay the bills
Men work jobs beneath their skills, yeah

Hadn't we better hand out
More than just a line
Shouldn't we try to find
Solutions with our minds

Haven't you had it
Knowing nothing's getting solved
Maybe we'd better
Better get involved

We could stop this hurtin' for awhile
We could stop this hurtin' for awhile
If we found a way to reconcile
We could stop the hurtin'
We could stop the hurtin', baby

We could stop the hurtin' for awhile, whoa
We could stop it for awhile
(We could stop it for awhile)
If we found a way to reconcile
(If we found a way to reconcile)
We could stop, we could stop

We could stop the hurtin' for awhile, whoa
We could stop the hurtin' for awhile
(Oh, we could stop)
If we found a way to reconcile
(If we found a way)
We could stop, we could stop

We could stop it
We could stop it
We could stop it
We could stop

We could stop the hurtin' for awhile
(We could stop it)
We could stop the hurtin' for awhile
(We could stop it)
If we found a way to reconcile
(We could stop it)
We could stop, we could stop

We could stop the hurtin' for awhile
(We could stop it)
We could stop it for awhile
(We could stop it)
If we found a way to reconcile
(We could stop it)
We could stop, we could stop

I guess I thought you'd be here forever
Another illusion I chose to create
You don't know what ya got until it's gone
And I found out just a little too late

I was acting as if you were lucky to have me
Doin' you a favor, I hardly knew you were there
But then you were gone and it all was wrong
Had no idea how much I cared

Chorus:
Now being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
But I don't want to
Being without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to ya babe
You're a hard habit to break

You found someone else you had every reason
You know I can't blame you for runnin' to him
Two people together but living alone
I was spreading my love too thin

After all of these years
I'm still tryin' to shake it
Doin' much better, they say that it just takes time
But deep in the night it's an endless fight
I can't get ya out of my mind

Chorus

2nd Chorus:
Being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
I don't want to
Being without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting any easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you babe
You're a hard habit to break

Hold me forever
Whisper the words I've waited so long to hear
Love's sweet surrender
Steals an embrace and kisses away the tears

Lookin' back down the road of love
We can still feel the heartache
Pain and joy of an unrelenting love
Hold us together

Chorus:
Only you
You've got control
Only you
You've got the key to my heart
Only you
You've got control
Need your love, take me forever

Sad empty faces
Faded away when I fell in love with you
True love erases
Fear and the doubt not knowing we'd see things through

So in
In a world of illusion
We fell in love until the end of time
True love, forever

Chorus

Lookin' back down the road of love
We can still feel the heartache
Pain and joy of an unrelenting love
Hold us together

Chorus

Shadows were hiding what I couldn't see
Out in the dark - she was calling to me
Calling to me with a voice I'd never forget
She was a vision I couldn't believe
I held her close so that she wouldn't leave
Suddenly helpless - hopelessly falling in love

I remember the feeling
I remember the was
She came up and wrapped her arms around me
Told me that she cared
Said she'd always be there
Taking me places that I've never been
She had the beauty that comes from within
Was dreaming was it too good to be true

I was a man all alone in the night
She came along and she showed me the light
I was confused then she told me the way
I was alone and I begged her to stay
She was alive I was caught by the fire
She brought emotions that filled my desire
I should have noticed that something was wrong
When I was awoke she was gone

I remember the feeling
I remember the was
She came up and wrapped her arms around me
Told me that she cared
Said she'd always be there
Taking me places that I've never been
She had the beauty that comes from within
Was dreaming was it too good to be true

She was alive I was caught by the fire
She brought emotions that filled my desire
I should have noticed that something was wrong
When I awoke, I could see that she was gone

There is a time when a man needs somebody to talk to
someone to talk to, somebody who'll always be there

all alone, nothin' seemed to matter
so alone, doesn't get much better
can't explain somethin' that you're feelin'
for the very first time

there was a time when you needed someone to hold onto
someone to hold you, somebody who's always sincere

all alone, suddenly you see her
so alone, you know y
can't explain, somethin' that you're feelin'
for the very first time

Chorus:
Then along comes a woman
there's a change in the way that you're feeling tonight
then along comes a woman
and you know that it's right

there was a time when you needed someone to count on
you needed someone to count on, somebody to care

now she's here, nothin' seems to matter
she's so near, everything is better
can't explain, somethin' that you're feelin'
for the very first time

You know our love was meant to be
The kind of love that lasts forever

And I want you here with me
from tonight until the end of time

You should know, everywhere I go
You're always on my mind, in my heart , in my soul

Baby, You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me say it
No one needs you more than I need you

And I know,and I know, yes I know that it's plain to see
We're so in love when we're together

Now I know,now I know, that I need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time

You should know, everywhere I go
You're always on my mind, in my heart , in my soul

You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me say it
No one needs you more than I need you

Ohhh...

Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me say it
No one needs you more than I need you

You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
when you love somebody
'till the end of time
when you love somebody
always on my mind
no one needs you more than I
when you love somebody
'till the end of time
when you love somebody
always on my mind

Do you love me
Do you need me
Tell the truth tonight
Do you love me
Do you need me
Can I still call you mine
I've heard the same old story
So many times
For every lie that you've told me
I'd be a rich man if I had a dime
Why do you take me
Why do you rake me
Over your red hot coals
Why do you scold me
After you hold me
Why do you turn so cold
The lady's constant cruisin'
Explains the tears
The lonely path she's choosin'
If I didn't love her would I still be here
Please hold on, stay with me
Tell me what you have in mind
Please hold on, stay with me
Baby, don't you leave me behind
Do you love me
Do you need me
Tell me the truth this time
Do you love me
Do you need me
Can I still call you mine
Soft lights and quiet music
Forgets your name
Some people try to use it
But loneliness chooses the rules to the game
Please hold on, stay with me
Tell me what you have in mind
Please hold on, stay with me
Baby, don't you leave me behind
Please hold on, stay with me
Loneliness will leave you blind
Please hold on, stay with me
Fall in love with me this time

You've got the look
They'll never forget
You wanna be noticed
But they haven't noticed yet
Oh, oh, whoa

When the time is right
A star on your door
Taking you places
That you've never been before
Where did you go?
Oh, oh, whoa

Go to sleep tonight and
Dream about it 'till the morning
Appearing for the very first time

On the screen tonight
And when you wanna
They treat you like a prima donna

You're a movie queen
Familiar face
Prettiest woman in the
Whole of the human race
Oh, oh, whoa

You're gonna be famous
And you wanna go far
Your name up in lights
Everybody knows who you are
On with the show
Oh, oh, whoa

Make a scene tonight and
Read about it in the morning
Appearing for the very first time

On the screen tonight
And when you wanna
Treat you like a prima donna
(Prima donna)

How will it feel
Being number one
How will it feel
Being number one
Hard to imagine
But I can't blame you for tryin'

How will it feel
Havin' so much fun
How will it feel
Havin' so much fun
Hard to imagine
But it's so electrifying
Oh, oh, whoa

How will it feel
Being number one
How will it feel
Being number one
Hard to imagine
But it's so electrifying

Go to sleep tonight and
Dream about it 'till the morning
Appearing for the very first time

On the screen tonight
And when you wanna
Treat you like a prima donna
(Prima donna)

Make a scene tonight and
Read about it in the morning
Appearing for the very first time

On the screen tonight
And when you wanna
Treat you like a prima donna
(Prima donna)

Treat you like a prima donna
(Prima donna)
(Prima donna)

When I saw your face
I could feel my heart- beat begin to race
In the still of the night
It was love at first sight

Not too long ago
I was on my own
Never would have know
You'd come into my life
Now, you're the love of my life

Once in a lifetime
Maybe the last time
Just the right time to fall in love
Once in a lifetime
For such a long time
I've been waiting for you

You were there for me
I was there for you
We were meant to be
Now we're fallin' in love
Finally fallin' in love

Once in a lifetime
Maybe the last time
Just the right time to fall in love
Once in a lifetime
For such a long time
I've been waiting for you

So everybody's pulling you in all directions
You don't know how much longer to take it
So you've learned how to fake it

That smile on the outside's fading fast
Like the things that you thought for sure would last
But they didn't
You know something's missing
Is it your life you're not living?

Your heart is cold, your soul is numb
You don't like who you've become
You played the game and paid the cost for long enough
So grab the reins, take the wheel
Lose what's not and keep what's real
It's not too late
Just close your eyes and feel, feel

You can't tell if you're happy or sad
Can't tell the good from bad
You're senseless
To waste your senses

Maybe stop thinking with your head
Start using your heart instead
Just try it
You just might like it
Aren't you dying to start livin'?

Your heart is cold, your soul is numb
You don't like who you've become
You played the game and paid the cost for long enough
So grab the reins, take the wheel
Lose what's not and keep what's real
It's not too late
Just close your eyes and feel, feel

Every breath that's going through you
Take each day that's given to you
To love back the ones who love you, yeah, yeah

Your heart is cold, your soul is numb
You don't like who you've become
You played the game and paid the cost for long enough
So grab the reins, take the wheel
Lose what's not and keep what's real
It's not too late, it's not too late
It's not too late
Just close your eyes and feel, feel

Your heart is cold, your soul is numb
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
You've played the game for long enough
Everybody's pulling you in all directions

What have I done?
And why do people run away
From what they really want?
She... she was the one
I know it now, just like a blind man
Feels the setting sun.

Once Upon A Time
I had everything I ever wanted
Everything I'd need
The more she tried to give me
The more I took for granted
Her majesty, and I can't believe...

Oh, it's really over now
And I've got to live without
The love I'll never have again

If this is what losing means
Well, then I've lost everything
Now I'm the... King of Might Have Been.

I'm all alone
With a hundred percent of nothing now
Just a Fool upon his throne,
She's... she's moving on
She's gonna be somebody's everything
And I hope that he knows...

That all she ever needed
Was the chance to be completed
And to feel the light of love,
What should've been, what could've been,
Doesn't matter now
She's history
And I can't believe...

Oh, it's really over now
And I've got to live without
The love I'll never have again

If this is what losing means
Well, then I've lost everything
Now I'm the... King of Might Have Been.

If I could do it all again
I would never let it end
I'd fight for us
If I just had one more chance

Oh, it's really over now
And I've got to live without
The love I'll never have again

If this is what losing means
Well, then I've lost everything
Now I'm the... King of Might Have Been.

Caroline... Caroline

There's always people talkin'
It makes their world go round
Don't mean you have to listen
Don't let them get you down

Oh Caroline, Caroline
Everything will be just fine
Caroline, Caroline
You can work it out this time!

You know they're only jealous
They want what they can't have
(and they never will).
Don't let it get your crazy
'Cause life is just too short for that
(and that, and that, and that).

And you know it ain't easy
But girl, you gotta let it go.

Oh Caroline, Caroline
Everything will be just fine
Caroline, Caroline
You can work it out this time!

You can work it out this time
You will find out about it just in time
Caroline
Make your sun come out and let it shine
Everything will be just fine, Caroline

Oh Caroline, Caroline
Everything will be just fine
Caroline, Caroline
You can work it out this time!

You will find out about it just in time
Make your sun come out and let it shine!

[Bill sings:]
Where did you go?
What happened to the life we had?
It took an unexpected turn
And even though we tried so hard
We only got so far
Oh, what did we learn?

[Shelly sings:]
Another day
Another night without you here
And nothing ever seems to change
And I know I can't escape
Because I always see your face
Every time I close my eyes

[[Bill and Shelly sing:]
If the sun can rise above us
Every single morning
If the moon can turn the tide
Of every sea
People falling in and out of love
Without a warning
They get a second chance
Then Why Can't We?

[Bill, Shelly:]
If there's a way
To let me in your world again
And put the pieces back in place
If we take it one day at a time
Who knows what we may find
Our love never went away
And we can get stronger every day!

[[Bill and Shelly sing:]
If the sun can rise above us
Every single morning
If the moon can turn the tide
Of every sea
People falling in and out of love
Without a warning
They get a second chance
Then Why Can't We?

Aren't we tired of savin' all the same old faces
And pretending that we're better off alone
And maybe deep inside we both know that our place is
Here all along... here all along

People falling in and out of love without a warning
They get a second chance, then why can't we?
Let's take a second chance, and then we'll see

I don’t love you anymore
We’ve all heard those words before
Somebody takes your heart and then
Leaves you the pieces

Lying shattered on the floor
They say that when you close a door
Another one is waiting there
For you to open if you believe

(Chorus)
Love will come back
Hit you when you least expect it
Fill in the cracks
Of a broken heart you thought
That you could never mend
You, you can start again

When you’re barely getting by
And it’s hard to find the strength to try
And loneliness is all you’ve known
If you let go then you will find

(Chorus)
Oh, when you think you’ve lost the only way
All you really need
Is a little faith

(Chorus)
Just let love return to you
You can start again

The moment that we met
There was something so familiar
I felt like I'd known you for a thousand years
And there inside your eyes
I saw a light that I'd been missing

Somewhere deep inside
All of the lonely disappeared
And, baby, now you're here
I feel like I have found

A long lost friend
That I've lived for all my life
A gentle hand
A part of me I've been trying to find
And now you're here
And the search comes to an end
I've found my long lost friend

Every move I make
Is to the rhythm of your heartbeat
Every single breath you take
You take with me

Oh, I ask myself
How did I ever live before you?
You came into my life
And put all the pieces into place
When I saw your face
I knew that I had found...

A long lost friend
That I've lived for all my life
A gentle hand
A part of me I've been trying to find
And now you're here
And the search comes to an end
I've found my long lost friend

Like a storm out of the blue
Love rained down on me and you
So complete and so unexpectedly
Like a movie in my mind
I've seen a hundred times
I feel like, I've loved you before...
Long Lost Friend.

Now you're here
And the search comes to an end!

Long lost friend
That I've lived for all my life
A gentle hand
You're a part of me I was dying to find
And now you're here
And the search comes to an end...
I've found my long lost friend
I've found my long lost friend...

Oh, now I've found you
My lost friend... oh

Here I am
In this broken town
Missing you
Wishing you were still around

The streets are full of people, happy
Heading on their way
Why am I the only one
Who's cold on such a pretty day?

90 degrees and freezing
I'm out here on my own
I can't shake this feeling
That I'm really all alone
The sun way up there shining
But down here on the ground
It's 90 degrees and freezing

Right or wrong
This is how it is
The love that kept me warm
Well, now it's his

I remember how the heat in your eyes
Helped me find my way
Why am I the only one
Who's cold on such a pretty day
(Pretty day)

90 degrees and freezing
I'm out here on my own
I can't shake this feeling
That I'm really all alone
The sun way up there shining
But down here on the ground
It's 90 degrees and freezing

90 degrees and freezing
I'm out here on my own
I can't shake this feeling
That I'm really all alone
The sun way up there shining
But down here on the ground
It's 90 degrees and freezing

Where were you?
When I was following someone
I should have been fallin' in love with you

I was doing all right in my own little world
Suddenly you were there
Upside down, turned around
Wasn't looking for anything new

I've got the heart and the hand of a sweet little girl
I just have to be fair
But my heart it can't hide
What it's feeling inside
When it's true

Where were you?
When I was following someone,
I should have been falling in love with you
And now, it's too late!
'Cause my heart is true
I gave it away, now, I'm looking behind me
And dreaming of you
Are we stronger than fate?

I ain't askin' you to save me
I'm a weaver of my own web
I don't know what to do,
But just try to get on with my life

Where were you?
When I was following someone,
I should have been falling in love with you
And now, it's too late!

'Cause my heart is true
I gave it away, now, I'm looking behind me
And dreaming of you
Are we stronger than fate?

Are we two lovers
Who found each other
Just a moment too late
Are we stronger than fate?
We'll never know!

Where were you?
When I was following someone,
I should have been falling in love with you
And now, it's too late!
'Cause my heart is true
I gave it away, now, I'm looking behind me
And dreaming of you
Are we stronger than fate?

Baby, I may never know exactly what you're feelin'
But I've seen you on another roll
Maybe I'm that last to see the glances you've been stealing
What you're looking for is takin' its toll

No guarantees, so baby please
Got to keep the sugar coating to yourself
Either stay with me, or set me free
Gotta let me get myself off the shelf

Up in here, it's all clear
You've already gone
And I know
'Cause it shows
You're already gone

And you're already gone
Down the road
All on your own
Check please, Louise
What did I expect?

And you're already gone
Down the road
Ain't nobody home
Check please, new squeeze
Thank you very... next

And so now we find ourselves
Exactly where we started
Tryin' to fall in love with somebody else

Don't know how to play this game
And not be broken-hearted
And I can't believe the lies I'm gonna tell

Don't lie to me, Pinocchio
Gotta keep the sugar coating to yourself
Baby, stay with me or let me go
Gotta let me get myself off the shelf

You can't hide, down inside
You're already gone
I'll be fine in my mind
You're already gone

And you're already gone
Down the road
All on your own
Check please, Louise
What did I expect?

And you're already gone
Down the road
Ain't nobody home
Check please, new squeeze
Thank you very... next

And you're already gone
Down the road
All on your own
Check please, new squeeze
What did I expect?

And you're already gone
Down the road
All on your own
Check please, new squeeze
Thank you very... next

And you're already gone
Down the road
All on your own
Check please, Louise
What did I expect from you
Baby, baby, baby

And you're already gone
Down the road
Ain't nobody home
Check please, new squeeze
Check please

I wants to thank you all very... nexteses!

Come to me, lonely, come to me, blue, yeah
Come to me, weary, come to me, do, yeah, yeah
I will refresh you, come to me, do
Come to me often, I'll come to you, I'll come to you

Always in my heart, always a song
This is the good part
You'll always know where you belong

Come to me, darlin', ooh baby
Come to me, darlin'

Come to me, happy, come to me, bad
Come to me looking what you ain't had
I will sustain you, come to me, do
Come to me, often, I'll come to you, I'll come to you

You are the kind one, I've waited so long
How does one find one?
You always know where you belong



Come to me, darlin', ooh, ooh, baby
Come to me, darlin', ow

Come to me, darlin', come to me, darlin'
Come to me, darlin', ow

Oh, come to me, darlin', oh baby
Come to me, darlin'

Come to me, darlin', darlin'

Come to me, darlin', darlin'

Come to me, darlin', darlin'
...

Moved out west just to get away
Miles of sky and empty space
Mirrors my soul
I'm out here on my own

I got a new job and a couple new friends
There's even someone special,
I think I could start again
But every time we touch
It reminds me of us, and...

Every time I close my eyes
To go to sleep at night
I wake up and I see your face
Even in my dreams
I can't get anyplace
I can't shake off your lovin' chains
Your lovin' chains...

So I moved back east just to face my tears
To say what needs sayin' before you disappear
But old friends say you're gone
Long since moved on, now...

Every time I close my eyes
To go to sleep at night
I wake up and I see your face
Even in my dreams
I can't get anyplace
I can't shake off your lovin' chains
Your lovin' chains...

I think I'm never gonna climb this mountain
Of my feelings for you
I'm gonna have to live here in your shadow
Until the skies are no longer blue!

Every time I close my eyes
To go to sleep at night
I wake up and I see your face
Even in my dreams
I can't get anyplace
I can't shake off your lovin' chains
Your lovin' chains...
