Good-bye Joe, he got to go, me oh my oh
He got to go-pole the pirogue down the bayou
His Yvonne the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Thibodaux, Fontaineaux the place is buzzing
A Kin-folk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style the go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
Cause tonight, I'm gonna see my ma cher a mi-o
Pick guitar, fill fruit far and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Settle down far from town get him a pirogue
And he'll catch all the fish in the bayou
Swap his mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
Cause tonight, I'm gonna see my ma cher a mi-o
Pick guitar, fill fruit far and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

I met him on a Monday and my heart stood still

Da doo ron ron ron

Somebody told me that his name was Bill

Da doo ron ron ron

Da doo ron ron



Yeah, my heart stood still

Yeah, his name was Bill

And when he walked me home

Da doo ron ron ron

Da doo ron ron



Yeah, he looked so fine

Yeah, I'll make him mine

And when he walked me home

Da doo ron ron ron

Da doo ron ron



Yeah da doo ron ron

Da doo ron ron ron

Da doo ron ron



Yeah da doo ron ron

Da doo ron ron ron

Yesterday Once More

When I was young

I'd listened to the radio

Waitin' for my favorite songs

When they played I'd sing along

It made me smile



Those were such happy times

And not so long ago

How I wondered where they'd gone

But they're back again

Just like a long lost friend

All the songs I loved so well



(*) Every Sha-la-la-la

Every Wo-wo-wo

Still shines

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling

That they're starting to sing's

So fine



When they get to the part

Where he's breakin' her heart

It can really make me cry

Just like before

It's yesterday once more



Lookin' back on how it was

In years gone by

And the good times that I had

Makes today seem rather sad

So much has changed



It was songs of love that

I would sing to then

And I'd memorize each word

Those old melodies

Still sound so good to me

As they melt the years away



Repeat (*)



All my best memories

Come back clearly to me

Some can even make me cry

Just like before

It's yesterday once more



Repeat (*)

Darling, you got me fallin'
Cause you're the only one who ever does it right
Every night I'm dreamin'
about the feelin'
You know I can't explain what's goin' down
My head keeps spinnin' round

You're on my lovelines
And that's all right me
(That's all I need)
Just give me good times
The way that love should be
Baby, you're the warm glow
that helps me through the day
(keeps me smiling)
And darlin' I know I'll always feel this way
Cause Lovelines never fade
Lovelines don't fade my love

Baby, come on and take me
into that wonderland where only lovers go
Heaven knows I need you
I wanna feel you
I've got that strange sensation deep inside
That only you can satisfy

You're on my lovelines
(You're on my lovelines)
And that's all right me
(That's all I need)
Just give me good times
(Just give me good times)
The way that love should be
Baby, you're the warm glow
(You are the warm glow)
that helps me through the day
(Keeps me smiling)
And darlin' I know
(And darlin' I know)
I'll always feel this way

So give me lovin' like I've never known before
Make me cry out loud for more
(My love)

You, you, you are on my lovelines
(You're on my lovelines)
And that's all right me
(That's all I need)
Just give me good times

the way that love should be
Holding me tight
every night

Every night I get tired eyes
My feet don't reach the ground
Then I'm with you
I get by 'cause I know that you're near me
So baby close your eyes
I can sleep tonight
All because of you

Every night when the fire flies
The walls come tumblin' down
At the Bijou
I get by 'cause I know that you're near me
So baby close your eyes
I can sleep tonight
All because of you

I'll keep singin' my love song
In my mind I'll sing a song for you
you can see through the music
That's in my mind
So baby close your eyes
I can sleep tonight
All because of you
All because of you
All because of you

I wouldn't have the TV in the bedroom
I wouldn't have this tear drop in my eye
I wouldn't need the radio to be my lullaby
If I had you, if I had you

I wouldn't need the sun to light the morning
(I would need no sunshine)
If I could have your love to light my night
I'd never for a second keep our love from burnin' bright
If I had you in my life

If I had you again
I wouldn't be the fool I've been
If I had you again
I'd never let the lovin' end
If I had you again
I'd show you baby you're the only one

So say that you believe in second chances
(You believe in love)
And say you'll let me be with you tonight
(All through the night)
If you'll take my hand I'll show you
just how love could be so right
If I had you ( If I had you)
If I had you
(Here in my life)

If I had you again
I wouldn't be the fool I've been
If I had you again
I'd never let the lovin' end
If I had you again
I'd show you baby you're the only one

If you'll take my hand I'll show you
just how love could be so right
(Ooooooooohhhh)
If I had you (If I had you)
If I had you
(Back in my life)

If I had you again
(If I had you, I wouldn't be blue)
I wouldn't be the fool I've been
(I wouldn't be the fool yeah)
If I had you again
I'd never let the lovin' end
(I'd never be a fool)
If I had you again
(If I had you, I would be true)
I'd never let this moment dissappear
(If I had you, I wouldn't be blue)

If I had you in my life.

Makin' love in the afternoon
Makin' love to another Beatle tune
And I know you're feelin' the same way too

All alone on a sunny day
On our own and we had to get away
And I know that I couldn't live without you
Don't ever leave me alone
Baby without you, I'd never make it alone

Makin' love on a sunny day
Makin' love in a very special way
And I hope you're feelin' the way I do
When you're here, When you're next to me,
When you're near its the only place to be
Cause I know that I couldn't live without you
Dont ever leave me alone
Livin'without you, I couldn't make it alone

Why wait for tomorrow?
Tomorrow may never come
Why wait for the evening shadows?
Something behind me, will always remind me
To wait for the morning
knowing you'll be here soon
And then we can be together
in the afternoon

Makin'love (Makin'love)
Makin' love in the afternoon
Makin' love (Makin' love)
Makin' love in the afternoon

Why wait for tomorrow?
Tomorrow may never come
Why wait for the evening shadows?
Something behind me, will always remind me
To wait for the morning
knowing you'll be here soon
And then we can be together
in the afternoon

Makin'love (Makin'love)
Makin' love in the afternoon
Makin' love (Makin' love)
Makin' love in the afternoon

I've been living memories
Lost in the warm of your smile
Driftin' through the dreams we used to share
Thinkin' 'bout the times we
spent in love without a care
And wishin' you were there

So darlin' if you
should feel you're lonely tonight
And you need someone next to you to hold you tight
Just call me and I'll be there by your side
Cause we can put that feelin' back inside us
If we try

Summer time was feelin' good
Holdin' the world in our hands
Seemed like what we had was growin' strong
Never even crossed our minds that
love would soon be gone
I guess that we were wrong

So darlin' if you
should feel you're lonely tonight
And you need someone next to you to hold you tight
Just call me and I'll be there by your side
Cause we can put that feelin' back inside us
If we try

So darlin' if you feel you're lonely tonight,
And you need someone next to you to hold you tight
Just call me and I'll be there by your side
(I'll be by your side)
Cause we've got all those memories to guide us
And we can put that feelin' back inside us
If we try

You're close enough
to touch again
Where you should be
I'd love to think what your smile is leading to
I feel your eyes, starting a fire all over me
Oh baby you know, I know what your arms can do

(Say that you remember when)

Remember whe lovin' took all night
Remember the feelin' of doing it right
(Feeling right, my love)
It's been so wrong
(It's been so wrong baby)
You've been gone too long
Now it's gonna be all right
We'll take all night again tonight

And I think you know that missing you
Took all my time
Loneliness never ran so deep till then
Now here we are
Lost in a feelin' of feelin' good
Baby you know, I'll love you again and again

(Say that you remember when)

Remember when lovin' took all night
Remember the feelin' of doing it right
(Feeling right, my love)
It's been so wrong
(It's been so wrong baby)
You've been gone too long
Now it's gonna be all right

We'll take all night again tonight

I remember the first time
I laid more than eyes on you
We've been in love for a long time
and I'm still in love with you

I am so still in love with you
Will you always understand
I do not know what I would do
without you

I'm in perpetual motion
and I am always on the move
You must have slipped me a potion babe
Cause I'm still in love with you

I am so still in love with you
Will you always understand
I do not know what I would do
without you

You don't leave me any reason
I don't need no alibies
So don't ask me no questions, babewon't hand you any lies

I am so still in love with you
Will you always understand
I do not know what I would do
without you

And you know that tomorrow
will be different than to day
We beg, steal and borrow but
But we always stay the same

I am so still in love with you
Will you always understand
I do not know what I would do
without you...
(I'm still in love...)
I am so still in love with you
Will you always understand
I do not know what I would do
without you...
(I'm still in love

You, you're driving me wild
You're making me fall in love
In love with you baby, I
I'm losing control
I don't wanna let go yet
Till you want me

You, you're all that I need
You're all that I want
And I'd sure love to love you, I
I gotta go slow
keep it under control now
Till you want me

But my body keeps changing my mind
(body, moving, my mind)
Keeps changing my heart
when we're dancing
My body says love you tonight
(body, love you, tonight)
to drive me out of my mind
when we're dancing

Well I know it wouldn't be right
(Baby, wouldn't be right)
To say take me home tonight
(To take me, take me tonight my love)
But when we get to dancing
When I see you dancing
When it comes to dancing
My body keeps changing my mind

You, it's you in my heart
It's you on my mind
And you just can't help it
I should give it some time
And wait for the right sign
that you want me

Cause my body keeps changing my mind
(body, moving, my mind)
Keeps changing my heart
when we're dancing
My body says love you tonight
(body, love you, tonight)
to drive me out of my mind
when we're dancing

Well I know it wouldn't be right
(Baby, wouldn't be right)
To say take me home tonight
(To take me,take me tonight my love)
But when we get to dancing
When I see you dancing
When it comes to dancing
And we fly together across the floor
My heart's crying out for more
cause I just can't resist you

Well I know it wouldn't be right
(Baby, wouldn't be right)
To say take me home tonight
(To take me, take me tonight my love)
But when we get to dancing
(When it gets to love)
When I see you dancing
(I feel so good)
When we get to dancing
You know
My body keeps changing my mind
(body, moving, my mind)
Keeps changing my heart
when we're dancing
(You know it's so clear)
My body says love you tonight
(body, love you, tonight)
to drive me out of my mind
(Cause you're the one who takes me there)
when we're dancing

We've tried our hand at love before
We've been around the game enough
to know the score
But then is then, and now is now
And now is all that matters anyhow

Make believe it's your first time
leave your sadness behind
Make believe it's your first time
And I'll make believe it's mine

The door is closed
It's you and me
We'll take our time with love
the way it ought to be
This moment's ours
tonight's the night
And if we fall in love
Well, that's all right

Make believe it's your first time
leave your sadness behind
Make believe it's your first time
And I'll make believe it's mine
Make believe it's your first time
And I'll make belive it's mine

I really don't mean to stare
I was only trying to memorize you there
You know I meant no harm
It's just that the starlight in your eye
Gave me a chill, nearly made me cry
I'm sure it's very clear

I don't know what's goin' down
(What's going down)
You're gonna ruin this poor girl from out of town
I like the way you move so much that

I guess I just lost my head
I know we should really know much better
I guess I just lost my head
I know we don't really know each other
So pardon the things I said
Won't you tell me you'll forgive me

I don't mean to intrude
It's just that I don't want to break this mood
(Don't want to break this mood here tonight)
And if I hold your hand it's just 'cause
There's something in the things you say
That wraps me up and really puts me away
But everybody knows

I don't know what's goin' down
You're gonna ruin this poor girl from out of town
I like the way you move so much that

I guess I just lost my head
I know we should really know much better
I guess I just lost my head
I know we don't really know each other
So pardon the things I said
Won't you tell me you'll forgive me

I don't know what's goin' down
(What's goin' down)
You're gonna ruin this poor girl from out of town
I like the way you move so much that

I guess I just lost my head
I know we should really know much better
I guess I just lost my head
(I've got the feeling inside)
I know we don't really know each other
(And I love you)
So pardon the things I said
(I need your loving tonight)
Won't you tell me you'll forgive me

Guess I lost it
Guess I lost it
I guess I just lost my head
(Cause you've been making me crazy)
I know we should really know much better
I guess I just lost my head
I know we don't really know each other
So pardon the things I said
Won't you tell me you'll forgive me

I met my old lover on the street last night
He seemed so glad to see me
I just smiled
And we talked about some old times
And we drank ourselves some beers
Still crazy after all these years
Oh Still crazy after all these years

I'm not the kind of girl
who tends to socialize
(To socialize)
I seem to lean on old familiar ways
And I ain't no fool for love songs
That whisper in my ears
Still crazy after all these years
Still crazy after all these years
(Crazy, I'm gonna crazy, I'm gonna crazy)

Four in the morning, crashed out, yawning
Longing my life away
I'll never worry
Why should I?
It's all gonna fade

Now I sit by my window
And I watch the cars
I fear I'll do some damage
one fine day
But I would not be convicted
by a jury of my peers
Still crazy after all these years
Oh, Still crazy
(Baby I'm crazy through all these years)
Still crazy
Still crazy after all these years

I've always tried to level with you eye to eye
I finally found the devil in you by and by
But I don't really want to be the
Last one singing the blues

When it comes to fiction you're the best I've met
But all those little lies
are gonna get you yet
But I don't really want to be the
Last one singin' the blues

You say that you love me
But if you really love me
Then why do you treat me this way
Your game is that you're gone again
It's off and then it's on again
Well someday I won't play

If all I do is catch you in the same old lies
I'll just have to look at you
with different eyes
'Cause I don't really want to be
The last one singin' the blues

You say that you love me
But if you really love me
Then why do you treat me this way
Your game is that you're gone again
It's off and then it's on again
Well someday I won't play

(Don't forget the break)
Well fate will soon determine you're the one to lose
I'll be the one who's handin' you your walkin' shoes
'Cause I don't really want to be
The last one singin' the blues
Yeah, I don't really want to be
The last one singing the blues

We've only just begun to live,
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way.
We've only begun.
Before the rising sun we fly,
So many roads to choose
We start our walking and learn to run.
And yes, We've just begun.
Sharing horizons that are new to us,
Watching the signs along the way,
Talking it over just the two of us,
Working together day to day
Together.
And when the evening comes we smile,
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow,
And yes, We've just begun.

Talk about love

How it makes life complete

You can talk all you want

Make it sound good and sweet

But the words have an empty ring

And they don't really mean a thing

Without love you are not to be found

You are not to be found


For love is surrender

Love is surrender if you care

Love is surrender if you dare

Shout about love

Then the wars will all end

You can shout "we're all brothers",

And eve pretend

But you can't cover up the past

Just pretending will never last

Without love you are nothing at all

You are nothing at all



For love is surrender

You must surrender if you care

You must surrender if you dare



For love is surrender

You must surrender if you care

You must surrender if you dare



Da-a-a-re!

Maybe it's you
Maybe it's me
Maybe it's just the constant
rhythm of the sea
Maybe it's just
that I've never been the kind
who can pass a lucky penny by
Maybe it's wise
Maybe it's not
Maybe it's you
who brought the caring I'd forgot
Isn't it nice
to talk about the special way
That you smile whenever I'm around
Rising on the shore
The ocean came
Walks along the waves of velveteen
His only thought
Was love for me
Couldn't we stay
Or must we go
Couldn't we stay
And watch the splashing
rock we throw
Only a fool
would want to leave this paradise
That I find whenever you're around
Only a fool

Isn't it nice
to talk about the special way
That you smile whenever I'm around
Rising on the shore
The ocean's King
Walks along the waves of velveteen
His only thought
Was love for me
love for me
Couldn't we stay
Or must you go
Couldn't we stay
And watch the splashing
rocks we throw
Only a fool
would want to leave the paradise
That I find whenever you're around
Only a fool
Only a fool

If I listen long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe
that it's all true
Knowing that you lied
straight faced
While I cried
And still I look
To find a reason to believe
Someone like you makes
it hard to live
Without somebody else
Someone like you makes
it easy to give
Never thinking of myself
If you took the time to
change my mind
I'd find a way
To leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied
straight faced
While I cried
And still I look
To find a reason to believe
Someone like you makes
it hard to live
Without somebody else
Someone like you makes
it easy to give
Never thinking of myself

If I listen long enough to you

When I was younger so much
Younger than today
I never needed anybody's
helpIn any way
But now these days are gone
I'm not so self assure
Now I find I've changed my mind
I've opened up the door
Help me if you can
I'm feeling down
And if you do appreciate you
being round
Help me get my feet
back on the ground
Won't you please
please help me
please help me
And now my life has changed in
Oh so many ways
My independence seems to
vanishIn the haze
And every now and then
I feel so insecure
I know that I need you like
I've never done before
Help me if you can
I'm feeling down
And if you do appreciate you
being round
Help me get my feet
back on the ground
Won't you please
please help me
please help me
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Help me if you can
I'm feeling down
And if you do appreciate you
being round
Help me get my feet
back on the ground
Won't you please
please help me
please help me

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

*
On the day that you were born
And the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue

**
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

It's not the way you smile

That touches my heart

It's not the way you kiss

That tears me apart

Many, many nights go by

I sit alone

At home I cry

Over you

What can I do

Can't help myself

'Cause baby it's you



You should hear what they say about you

They say you've never

Never, never been true

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Doesn't matter what they say

I'm gonna love you any old way

What can I do

When it's true

Don't want nobody

'Cause baby it's you



Many, many, many nights go by

I sit alone

At home I cry

Over you

What can I do

Can't help myself

'Cause baby it's you

What do you get when you fall in love
A girl with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your troubble
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

What do you get when you kiss a guy
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, he'll never phone you
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

Don't tell me what it's all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains,
those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you


What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So far at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

Don't tell me what it's all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains,
those chains that bind you
That is why I'm have here to remind you
Here to remind you, here to remind you
Toh! here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So, far at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

Green September
Burned to October brown
Bare November
Led to December's frozen ground
The seasons stumbled round
Our drifting lives are bound
To a falling crescent noon

Feather clouds cry
A vale of tears to earth
Morning breaks and
No one sees the quiet mountain birth
Dressed in a brand new day
The sun is on its way
To a falling crescent noon

Somewhere in
A fairytale forest lies one
Answer that is waiting to be heard

You and I were
Born like the breaking day
All our seasons
All our green Septembers
Burn away
Slowly we'll fade into
A sea of midnight blue
And a falling crescent noon

Mr. Guder
Say! Mr. Guder
May I have a moment with you
Because there is something I've got to say
And please don't let it scare you awayMr. Guder
Say! Mr. Guder
I have seen you go through a day
You're everything a robot lives for
Walk in at 9 and roll out the door at 5
You reflect the company image
You maintain their rules to live by
Shine your shoes let's keep a neat haircut
Now that you're wearing a coat and tieMr. Guder
Say! Mr. Guder
Some day soon may realize
You spend your life just playing a game
Where no ones wins but everyone stays the same

Mr. Guder
Say! Mr. Guder
Some day soon may realize
You spend your life just playing a game
Where no ones wins but everyone stays the same
The sa-a-a-mePlease!
Play your game!
Stay the same!

I ran away from you
And left you crying
And though I'm back to stay
You think I'm lying
But I've changed
My ways
And my wandering days are through
Through it all
I kept on loving you
Don't worry baby
Please don't cry
I'm home for good
And I will never leave you() Don't worry baby
Please don't cry
You must believe me
And I will never leave you
Never leave youYou've heard this song before
I can't deny it
The road is long and wide
I had to try it
Though I love
You girl
These were things
I had to do
Through it all
I kept on loving you

The moon that rose now descended

And the love once shared now had ended

And soon the day would come



And when the day had come

The light that fell at dawn was cold

The warmth of you had gone

A taste of loneliness

Cut through the earliness

And oh the winds sang of you

Softly they said

All of my favorite dreams were dead

Leaving a cloud of sadness in my head

And though I'm buried in

A sad song of the morning wind

I know the day would bring

Another song for me to sing



But when the day had come

The light that fell at dawn was cold

The warmth of you had gone

Go-o-o-ne

There's a kind of hush
all over the world tonight
All over the world you can
hear the sounds of lovers in love
You know what I mean
Just the two of us
and nobody else in sight
There's nobody else and
I'm feeling good
just holding you tight
So listen very carefully
Closer now and you will
see what I mean
It isn't a dream
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
I love you forever and ever
There's a kind of hush
all over the world tonight
All over the world people
just like us are fallin' in love

So listen very carefully
Closer now and you will
see what I mean
It isn't a dream
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
I love you forever and ever
There's a kind of hush
all over the world tonight
All over the world you can
hear the sounds of lovers in love

Looking at you

I'm almost home again

Something in you

Puts me at ease

Yes, I know that you're

Suspicious of me

Do I mean the things I say?

Yo know I've been in love before

That much is true

But thought I've been in love before

It wasn't with you

(
) Ooh, Sandy

Could we spend the day together?

You know how rainy weather

Gets me down when I'm alone

You, Sandy

You gotta be a friend today

An hour with you would

Chase the winter away

Being with you

I'm like a child again

Your eyes can see

Clearer than mine

No one ever made me quite so aware

No one ever took the time

The time it took surprises me

Nothing's the same

As if my life began again

Hearing your name



An hour with you would

Chase the winter away

I was born on a farm out in Iowa
A flaming youth I was bound I
would fly away
I packed my grip and I
grabbed my saxophone
Can't read notes
but I play anything by ear
I made up tunes on the
sounds that I used to hear
When I'd start to play folks to say
Sounds a little Goofus to me
Cornfed chords appeal to me
I like rustic harmony
Hold a note and change the key
Hey but that's Goofus
Not according to the rules
That you learn in music schools
But the folks just dance like fools
They sure go for Goofus
Got a job but I just couldn't
keep it long
The leader said that I played
all the music wrong
So I stepped out with an
outfit of my own
Got together a new kind of orchestra
And we all played just the same
Goofus harmony
And I must admit we made a hit
Goofus has been lucky for me

Got together a new kind of orchestra
And we all played just the same
Goofus harmony
And I must admit we made a hit
Goofus has been lucky for me
Goofus has been lucky for me
Goofus has been lucky for me

You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I don't even talk to people I mean
And I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
You must know what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

You came along just like a song
You brightened my day
You 'd believe you were apart of a dream
That only seems light years away

You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
And you must know what i'm going through
I just can't smile without you

Some people say that happy this way
That something it hard to find
Into the new leaving the old behind me

And i feel sad when your sad
I feel glad when your glad
You must know what i'm going through
I just can't smile without you

Into the new leaving the old behind me

And i feel sad when your sad
I feel gald when your glad
And you must know what i'm going through
I just can't smile without you

The hardest thing I've ever done is keep believing
There's someone in this crazy world for me
The way that people come and go through temporary lives
My chance could come and I might never know

I used to say "No promises, let's keep it simple"
But freedom only helps you say goodbye
It took a while for me to learn that nothing comes for free
The price I paid is high enough for me

I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

So here I am with pockets full of good intentions
But none of them will comfort me tonight
I'm wide awake at 4 a.m. without a friend in sight
I'm hanging on a hope but I'm all right

I'm going way down south to Louisiana, tonight
Well, I'll just close my eyes
And everything's alright
And though I'm really far away
I'll make my get away
And no one need really
Know that I've been goneOne more time for the good times
That far out weigh the bad
One more time for the good times
When love was all we hadI'm going way down south to Baton Rouge
Well, I'll just close the door
And turn out all the lights
And all the images dance by
Of folks and friends who lie
Back home where things are slow
And easy goingOne more time for the good times
That far out weigh the bad
One more time for the good times
When love was all
When love was all
When love was all we had
One more time

You're up state, up late, and city fed
I'm a California label
From the top of my head,
Forever, ah
See a lot of open sky
When the sun goes down
There's a hot, lot of loving when you come
Around, to free me, ahIn a boat to sail, boat to sail, away, ah
All those letters mailed from a
Boat to sail, away ah
We are riding in a boat to sailBare foot, coconut and supermild
Jamaica take a look
At your own child
Forget not
Brian Wilson songs are never left behind
Don't you worry baby, you're a friend of mine
For so longFrom a boat to sail, boat to sail, away ah
All those letters mailed, from a
Boat to sail, away ah
We are riding in a boat to sail
We are riding in a boat to sail

I have always been a dreamer
Followed visions of my own
I was born to belong
To the lines of a song
And make then my home
I believe in happy endings
Though I've only known a few
For as rare as they are
Like a bright falling star
I found one in you
Sometimes All the world can seem so
Friendless And the road
ahead so Endless
And the dream so far away
Sometimes When I'm almost
To surrender Then I stop
And I remember I have you
To save my day
Often my imagination
Has me reaching out too far
When I fell you were there
With you hand in the air
You knew from the start
Sometimes After all you've done
To save me Thru the love you
freedly Gave me
Every step along the way
Sometimes People ask what keeps me
Going And in truth
it comes from Knowing
I have you To save my day
Sometimes Feelng helpless
When I held you
Wishing words would come
To tell you I have you
To save my day

Don't take your love
Away from me
Don't you leave my heart
In misery
If you go
Then I'll be blue
Cause breakin' up is hard to doRemember when
You held me tight
And you kissed me
All through the night
Think of all
That we been through
Breakin' up is hard to doThey say that brekin' up
Is hard to do
Now I know, I know
That it's true
Don't say that this is the end
Instead of breakin' up
I wish that we were makin' up againI beg of you
Don't say good-bye
Can't we give our love
Another try
Come on baby
Lets start a new
Breakin' up is hard to doI beg of you
Don't say good-bye
Can't we give our love
Another try
Come on baby
Lets start a new
Breakin' up is hard to do
Breakin' up is hard to do

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around nothing to do but frown
Rainy days and mondays always get me down
What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around some kind of lonely clown
Rainy days and mondays always get me down

Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around nothing to do but frown
Rainy days and mondays always get me down

Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around nothing to do but frown
Rainy days and mondays always get me down
Hangin' around nothing to do but frown
Rainy days and mondays always get me down

Saturday began just the same as other days

But ended up different in many ways

Love is in my world since Saturday



Mornin' came but somehow it didn't seem the same

The sadness of Friday had somehow changed

To the happy sounds of Saturday

Saturday, ever-loving Saturday



I whistle to bluebirds

I tried to tell them how you brought me sunshine

My heads filled with new words

That sing to the sounds of happy day after Friday



(*) Come and see the flowers of love she gave to me

The touches of laughter and harmony

To the happy sounds of Saturday

Saturday, ever-loving Saturday



My head's full of new words

Sing to the sounds of the day after Friday

Day after Friday



Repeat (*)



Saturday, Saturday, ever-loving Saturday

Some sleepless night if you should find yourself alone



(*) Let me be the one you run to

Let me be the one you come to

When you need someone to turn to

Let me be the one



To set things right

When this whole world's turned upside down



Repeat (*)



For love and understanding, to find a quiet place

For silent understanding, a loving touch

Come to me when things go wrong

And there's no love to light the way



Repeat (*)



Let me be the one you run to

Let me be the one you come to

When you need someone to turn to

Need someone to turn to

Let me be the one you run to

Let me be the one you come to

When you need someone to turn to

Need someone to turn to

Let me be the one you run to

Let me be the one you come to

When you need someone to turn to

Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
We've got a lifetime to share
So much to say and as we go from day to day

I'll feel you close to me
But time alone will tell
Let's take a lifetime to say
"I knew you well"
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow for all we know, (wa-ah)

Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
Let's take a lifetime to say
"I knew you well"
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow for all we know, (wa-ah)

Long ago, and, oh, so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show.
Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear,
but you're not really here.
It's just the radio.

Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby.
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby.
I love you, I really do.

Loneliness is such a sad affair,
and I can hardly wait to be with you again.
What to say, to make you come again?
Come back to me again, and play your sad guitar

Druscilla Penny, what a name!

Are you sure you didn’t make it up yourself?

You’re very pretty, yes you are

Buth with all the junk you wear, it’s hard to tell



Man, you must work hard to get your hair to look like that

I don’t need a horoscope to tell me where you’re at

Your family’s probably given up on you

Since you began to follow groups of long-haired rock'n rollers

I can hear your mother crying for her daughter



Ah, ah, ah ....

Ah, ah, ah ....



Druscilla Penny, what a girl!

Where’s the purpose to the crazy life you lead?

It doens’t matter after all

You’re so sure instant love is all you need



I’ve seen your face at least a thousand times

You’re always standing there behind the stages at the concerts

Waiting for an offer to be with someone after



Druscilla Penny, how’s your head?

Do you ever wake up lonely in the night?

It isn’t easy for a girl when she can’t decide

If love is wrong or right

I hope I live to see a change

Could you ever really love?

Ever really care?

Ever really get it together? no no

One love in my young life

Took me somewhere I had never been

And I want to live again, breathe again

In the shelter of his brightly woven love song

So long I have wanted love to be

Sitting just this near to me

Now my waiting heart is free



(*) Few are the choices we are given

The sands of time pass quickly by

One dream of my young life

Now stands holding out his hand to me

Now I can’t help but believe that my whole life will be

Spent in one love



Repeat (*)



Spent in one love

Spent in one love

Sometimes not often enough

We reflect upon the good things

And those thoughs always center around those we love

And I think about those people who mean so much to me

And for so many years have made me so very happy

And I count the times I have forgotten to say "thank you"

And just how much I love them

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've song a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darlin' can't you please see through me
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

You tought me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you

You tought me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you

We were alone and I was singing this song for you

Such a feeling's coming over me
There is wonder
in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised
if it's a dream

Everything I want the world to be
is now coming true
especially for me
And the reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing
to heaven that I've seen


I'm on the top of the world
looking down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found
ever since you've been around
Your love's put me
at the top of the world

Something in the wind
has learned my name
And it's telling me
that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees
and the touch of the breeze
Is a pleasing sense
of happiness for me

There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through
I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be
just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine
if you are here

No one in the world
Ever had a love as sweet as my love
For nowhere in the wolrd
Could there be a boy as true as you love
All my love
I give gladly to you
All your love
You give gladly to me
Tell me why then
Oh why should it be that

We go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why

Close than the leaves
On a weepin' willow, baby, we are
Closer dear are we
Than the simple letters "A" and "B" are
All my life
I could love only you
All your life
You could love only me
Tell me why than
Oh why should it be that

We go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why

Can't we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry
Breaking each other's heart
Tearing each other apart

Can't we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry
Breaking each other's heart
Tearing each other apart

It's going to take some time this time
to get myself in shape
i really fell outta line this time
i really missed the gate
the birds on the telephone line (this time)
are calling out to me (this time)
and i won't be so blind next time and i'll find some harmony

and it's going to take some time this time
no matter what i plan
and like the young trees
in the winter time
i'll learn how to bend
after all the tears we've shed
how could we make amends
so it's one more round for experience
and i'm on the road again.....
and it's going to take some time, this time.....

<INSTRUMENTAL>after all the tears we've shed
how could we make amends
so it's one more round for experience
and i'm on the road again...
and it's going to take some time
this time....

I'll say goodbye to love
No one ever cared
If I should live or die
Time and time again
the change for
love has passed me by
And all I know of love is
how to live without it
I just can't seem to find it
So I've my mind up i must
live my life alone
And though it's not the easy way
I guess I've always know
I'd say goodbye to love
There are no tomorrows
for this heart of mine
Surely time will lose
these bitter memories
And I'll find that there is
someone to believe in
And to live for something
I could live for
All the years of useless search
finally reached an end
Loneliness and empty days
will be my only friend
From this day love is forgotten
I'll go on as best I can

What lies in the future is a
mystery to us all
No one can predict the whee
l of fortune as it falls
There may come a time when i will
see that I've been wrong
But for now this is my song
And it's goodbye to love
I'll say goodbye to love

We'll be right
We'll be right
We'll be right
We'll be right back
After we go to the bathroom

Bless the beasts and the children
For in this world they have no voice
They have no choice

Bless the beasts and the children
For the world can never be
The world they see

Light their way
When the darkness surrounds them
Give them love
Let it shine all around them

Bless the beasts and the children
Give them shelter from a storm
Keep them safe
Keep them warm

Light their way
When the darkness surrounds them
Give them love
Let it shine all around them

Bless the beasts and the children
Give them shelter from a storm
Keep them safe
Keep them warm

The children
The children

Everybody always ask me

How I got to play so fine

And friends, I'm gonna tell ya

It really did take some time

Yes, after years and years of practice

And a case of real bad knees

While the other guys were out playin' with the football

I was home bangin' on the keys

And it got me

(
) Right where I am

This is me

Playing the piano

I hope ya like what I do

It's for you

And I'll try and sing right too

I guess I'm really very lucky

That I've got this thing to play

'Cause it can really make me feel good

Even when it's cloudy and grey

Yes, after years and years of practice

And awful allergies that made me sneeze

And now the other guys are out playin' with their girlfriends

And I was still bangin' on the keys

And it got me

(
)

Day after day
I must face a world of strangers
Where I don't belong
I'm not that strong
It's nice to know
that there's someone
I can turn to
Who will always care
you're always there
when there's no getting over
that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams
won't come true
I can take all the madness
the world has to give
But I won't last a day
without you

So many times when the city
seems to be
Without a friendly face
a lonely place
It's nice to know
that you'll be there
if I need you
And you'll always smile
it's all worthwhile
when there's no getting over
that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams
won't come true
I can take all the madness
the world has to give
But I won't last a day
without you
Touch me and I end up singing
Trouble seems
to up and disappear
You touch me with the love
you're bringing
I can't really lose
when you're near
When you're near my love
If all my friends
have forgotten
half their promises
they're not unkind
just hard to find
One look at you and I know
That I could learn to live
without the rest
I've found the best
when there's no getting over
that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams
won't come true
I can take all the madness
the world has to give
But I won't last a day
without you
when there's no getting over
that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams
won't come true
I can take all the madness
the world has to give
But I won't last a day
without you
But I won't last a day
without you without you&nbsp;

Listen to the song he sings
Can't you see his music brings her
Crystal sleepAs her heavy eyelids fall
He's taking her to where the dolls
Rule the worldAnd in that land of make believe
Is where he'll leave her sleeping
Softly warm
In a crystal lullabyHe's weaving her a paper castle
Where dancing clowns with tassels made of fur
Welcome her into their world
That lives inside the dreams
Of every little girlShe's guarded by a brave tin soldier
Sitting on her shoulder
Taken there
In a crystal lullabySometimes when I listen to
The velvet song that fills the summer afternoon
Something deep within me sighs
And wishes for the peaceful skies
Of long ago
That wrapped my cares
In silver air
And carried them away
Leaving me ...
And a crystal lullaby

I've been on this lonely road so long

Does anybody know where it goes

I remember the last time

The signs pointed home a month ago

Rented cars and empty motel rooms

Lead you everywhere but home

Crowds of people shouting

How they love the show

They don't know

(
) The endless crowds of faces

Just keep on wearing a smile

The countless times and places lead me back

Please take me back home

(

) I wonder if these feelings ever change

How many times I'll lift this load

Come tomorrow I'll be gone again

Roads of sorrows coming to an end for me

(
)

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've song a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darlin' can't you please see through me
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

You tought me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you

You tought me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you

We were alone and I was singing this song for you

Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things, not bad
Sing of happy, not sad

* Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not good enough
For anyone else to hear
Just sing, sing a song

La la la la
Sing, sing a song
Let the world sing along
Sing of love there could be
Sing for you and for me

* Repeat

Just sing, sing a song (2X)
La la la la

are we really happy with
this lonely game we play
looking for the right words to say
searching but not finding
understanding anyway
we're lost in this masquerade
both afraid to say
we're just too far away
from being close together
from the start

*we tried to talk it over
but the words got in the way
we're lost inside this lonely
game we play
thoughts of leaving disappear
each time I see your eyes
and no matter how hard I try
to understand the reason
why we carry on this way
and we're lost in this masquerade

*repeat

we're lost in a masquerade

Good-bye Joe, he got to go, me oh my oh
He got to go-pole the pirogue down the bayou
His Yvonne the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Thibodaux, Fontaineaux the place is buzzing
A Kin-folk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style the go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
Cause tonight, I'm gonna see my ma cher a mi-o
Pick guitar, fill fruit far and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Settle down far from town get him a pirogue
And he'll catch all the fish in the bayou
Swap his mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
Cause tonight, I'm gonna see my ma cher a mi-o
Pick guitar, fill fruit far and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Here I am just sittin' around

With an old piano in a vacant room

And the same old feelin's come again

So uncertain hurtin' scared

I though I grew, but here I am again

Shoulda seen the train be passin' thru.

I thought I knew



And I can't make music

No I can't make rhyme

No I can't do anything

To take me away this time



I know it's an old cliche to say

I feel I'm gonna die

And I hear it's goin' out to cry

So I'm gonna say some kind words to you

I like to wish you luck & hope

That life will be with someone else

Just like I though it would be with me

But I can't see...



And I can't make music

No I can't make rhyme

No I can't do anything

To take me away this time

When I was young I'd listen to the radio,
Waiting for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile
Those were such happy times and not so long ago
How I wondered where they've gone
But they're back again just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well

Every sha la~~~ every woo~~~still shines
Every sing a ling a ling that they're starting to
sing so fine
When they get to the part where he's breaking her
heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more

Looking back on how it was in years gone by
And the good times that I had makes today seem rather
sad
So much has changed
It was songs of love that I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away

Every sha la~~~ every woo~~~still shines
Every sing a ling a ling that they're starting to
sing so fine

All my best memories come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry just like before
It's yesterday once more

Every sha la~~~ every woo~~~still shines
Every sing a ling a ling that they're starting to
sing so fine

Well, she got her daddy's car

And she cruised through the hamburger stand-now,

Seems she forgot all about the library

Like she told her ol' man-now,

And with the radio blastin' goes cruisin'

Just as fast as she can-now



And she'll have fun, fun, fun,

Till her daddy takes the T-bird away



Well you knew all along that your dad

Was gettin' wise to you-now

(Should'na lied now, should'na lied)

And since he took your set of keys you've been

Thinkin' that your fun is all through-now

(Should'na lied now, should'na lied)

But you can come along with me 'cause we

Gotta lotta things to do-now



And we'll have fun, fun, fun

Now that daddy took the T-bird away



Fun, fun, fun

Now that daddy took the T-bird away



Fun, fun, fun

Now that daddy took the T-bird away

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me anymore?

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love

I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does!

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said good-bye

I met him on a Monday and my heart stood still

Da doo ron ron ron

Da doo ron ron

Somebody told me that his name was Bill

Da doo ron ron ron

Da doo ron ron



Yeah, my heart stood still

Yeah, his name was Bill

And when he walked me home

Da doo ron ron ron

Da doo ron ron



Yeah, he looked so fine

Yeah, I'll make him mine

And when he walked me home

Da doo ron ron ron

Da doo ron ron



Yeah da doo ron ron

Da doo ron ron ron

Da doo ron ron



Yeah da doo ron ron

Da doo ron ron ron

Da doo ron ron

The street was desserted late Friday night

We were buggin' each other while we sat out the light

We both popped our clutch when the light turned green

You should have heard the wine from my screamin' machine

I flew past La Brea, down to Crescent Heights

And all the Jag could see were my six tail lights

He passed me at Doheny and I started to swerve

But I pulled her out and there we were at Deadman's Curve

Deadman's Curve is no place to play

Deadman's Curve



Well, the last thing I remember Doc.

I started to swerve, and then I saw the Jag slide into the curb

I know I'll never forget that horrible sight

I found out for myself, that everyone was right



Won't come back from Deadman's Curve

Deadman's Curve is no place to play

Deadman's Curve you best keep away

Deadman's Curve I can hear them say

Won't come back from Deadman's Curve

Johnny Angel, Johnny Angel

Johnny Angel, Johnny Angel

You're an angel to me



Johnny Angel

How I love him

How I tingle

When he passes by

Everytime he says "hello"

My heart begins to fly



Johnny Angel

How I want him

He's got something

That I can't resist

But he doesn't even know

That I exist



I'm in heaven

I get carried away

I dream of him and me

And how it's gonna be

Other fellows

Call me up for a date

But I just sit and wait

I'd rather concentrate



On Johnny Angel

'Cause I love him

And I pray

That someday he'll love me

And together we will see

How lovely Heaven will be



And together we will see

How lovely Heaven will be

They say that you're a run around lover

Tho' you say it isn't so



But if you put me down for another

I'll know, believe me

I'll know



'Cause the night has a thousand eyes

And a thousand eyes can't help but see

If you aren't true to me



So remember when you tell those

Little white lies that the night

Has a thousand eyes



One of these days you're gonna be sorry

'Cause your game I'm gonna play

And you'll find out without really trying

Each time that my kisses stray



That the night has a thousand eyes

And a thousand eyes will see me through

And no matter what I do



I could never disguise

All those little white lies

'Cause the night has a thousand eyes



So remember when you tell those

Little white lies that the night

Has a thousand eyes

Our day will come

And we'll have everything

We'll share the joy

Falling in love can bring



No one can tell me

That I'm too young to know

I love you so

And you love me



Our day will come

If we just wait a while

No tears for us

Think love and wear a smile



Our dreams have magic

Because we'll always stay

In love this way

Our day will come



Our day will come



Our day will come

One fine day
You'll look at me
And you will know our love was
Meant to be

One fine day
You're gonna want me for your girl

The arms I long for
Will open wide
And you'll be proud to have me
Right by your side

One fine day
You're gonna want me for your girl

One fine day...

When I was young
I'd listen to the radio
Waitin for my favorite songs
When they played
I'd sing along
It made me smile
Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered
where they'd gone
But they're back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well
Every Sha la la la
Every Woo woo
Still shines
Every shing a ling a ling
That they're startin to sing's
So fine
When they get to the part
Where he's breakin her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more

Lookin back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed
It was songs of
love that I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away
Every Sha la la la
Every Woo woo
Still shines
Every shing a ling a ling
That they're startin to sing's
So fine
All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more
Every Sha la la la
Every Woo woo
Still shines
Every shing a ling a ling
That they're startin to sing's
So fine
Every Sha la la la
Every Woo woo
Still shines
Every shing a ling a ling

As a child I was known for make-believing

All alone I created fantasies

As I grew people called it self-deceiving

But my heart helped me hold the memories



As I walk through the world I find around me

Something new, yet familiar's in the air

I feel it ev'rywhere

Like a child's eyes

On a Christmas night

I'm lookin' at you now

Finding answers to my prayers



(*) It's a new day for those good old dreams

One by one it seems they're comin' true

Here's the morning that my heart had seen

Here's the morning that just had to come through

Same old stage but what a change of scene

No more dark horizons, only blue

It's a new day for those good old dreams

All my life I dreamed of lovin' you



You're a spark of a long forgotten fire

You're a touch of a slowly growing wind

You're a taste of the ever-changing seasons

Telling me there are some things that don't end

We have left all the darkness far behind us

All those hopes that we held along the way

Have made it to this day

Like an old love song

Gone for much too long

You hear it once again

Ant it carries you away



Repeat (*)



It's a new day for those good old dreams

And It's all because of you

You know it doesn't
seem that long ago
That I had your love and let it go
And I really let you down I know
I'm losin your love
I guess it took a while
for me to see
What it is you really mean to me
I've been as big a fool as I can be
For losing your love
I want you back in my life again
I don't want to be
your remember when
I want you back in my life again
Let's go back to the
place where it all began
I've lived long enough
with your memory
Now I know that I need you
here with me
There was a time
I thought I had it made
But I didn't see the price
I had paid
And the price gets higher every day
And all I can say is
You're the only one
who knows my heart
So let's take it right
back to the start
And I won't have to play the part
Of losing your love
I want you back in my life again
I don't want to be
your remember when
I want you back in my life again
Let's go back to the
place where it all began
I've lived long enough
with your memory
Now I know that I need you
here with
here with me

You're the only one
who knows my heart
So let's take it right
back to the start
And I won't have to play the part
Of losing your love
I want you back in my life again
I don't want to be
your remember when
I want you back in my life again
Let's go back to the
place where it all began
I've lived long enough
with your memory
Now I know that want you
know that I need you
I need you back in my life

When you've got what it takes

You've got nothing to hide

You've got miles of feelings

And acres of pride

You've got it

You've really got it



When you know who you are

Then you live what you feel

You give what you can

And it's good when you've really got it

And when you've got it



(*) Let it out

Let it show

Let'em know

Inside you've got it

Let it shine like a fine tomorrow

For when you do

The feeling comes back to you

What a difference it makes

When you've got what it takes

What a difference it makes

When you've got it



When you're sure of your heart

Then you give it away

And love is a promise

You keep every day

You know it

And when you know it



You begin to believe

You'll do more than survive

That the best part of being is being alive

You feel it

And when you feel it



Repeat (*)



When a difference it makes

When you've got what it takes

What a difference it makes

When you've got it



When a difference it makes

When you've got what it takes

What a difference it makes

When you've got it everyday

I believe you
When you say that you will reach into the sky
And steal a star so you can put it on my finger
I believe you
Baby, I believe you


I believe you
When you say that every time that we make love
Will be the first time we've made love
And every act of love will please you
Baby, I believe you


(*) Blind faith makes me follow you
I'd live in a cave if you wanted to
Just ask me and I'll marry you
You don't have to sell me

Play us a song we can slow dance on

We want to hold each other

Play us a groove so we hardly move

Just let our hearts beat together

Oh baby, 'cause it feel so good

When we're close like this

Whisper is my ear and let me steal a kiss



(*) Come on and touch me

When we're dancing

You know you've got that loving touch

(Loving touch)

Touch me when we're dancing

I want to feel you when I'm falling in love



Tonight's the night and it feels so right

My heart is saying it to me

You're the one I've waited for so long

So let your love flow through me

Oh baby, 'cause it feels so good

Just to be this close

You've got me up so high

I could fly coast to coast



Repeat (*)

Where's the word for the sadness

Where's the poetry in the pain

Where's the color in the stain where the tears have fallen

It's gone, it's just gone



Where's the method to this madness

As we create this suffering

And we do each other in and we still hold on

But it's gone, it's just gone



(*) He says it's gone

And he can't go on a living a memory

Mulling it over endlessly

Why is that so hard for me to see

He says it's gone

And he can't go on trying to live a lie

And when he cries, I know it's over

But I may never know why



There's no face in the locket

There's no place for the past

I'll put it back in my pocket

It was never meant to last

It's just gone



Repeat (*)



There's no word for the sadness

There's no poetry in the pain

There's no color in the stain where the tears have fallen

It's gone, it's just gone



It's gone, it's just gone

Well, it's gone

You can have this dance with me

You can hold my hand and whisper

In my ear sweet words, that I

Love to hear



(*) Don't be shy, just take your time

I'd like to get to know you

I'd like to make you mine



I've been waiting, sitting here so patiently

For you to come over

And have this dance with me



(**) And my number is Beechwood 4-5789

You can call me up and have a date

Any old time



Repeat (*)



Beechwood 4-5789

You can call me up and have a date

Any old time



Repeat (*)

Repeat (**)



Beechwood 4-5789

You can call me up and have a date

Any old time

Children

It was more fun to be children

We just took life as it happened

Run thru the days

Don't look behind



Over wink of an eye and it's over

What a surprise to discover

We were people ourselves

What kind of people did we want to be

No answer ever came to me



It didn't sleep at all last night

Mom, I've come to you like yesterday

About today

Mom, I'm afraid

Hon, come and sit by my side

Listen to me

Words come so hard

But what my heart says

I will give you



Because you are in love

Your eyes begin to open

As if you had awaken from a sleep

Because you are in love

You use imagination

And lose your concentration

When someone drops his name

You're back in his arms as always

Your day-dreams work out that way

It's all just a trick you mind plays

The more love grows

The more it says the same



(Same little girl who's frightened)

But I love him so

(Same little girl who's sure)

That she loves him so

(Sees with a woman's vision knows what a woman knows)



Because we are in love

We reach for our tomorrows

And know we won't be lonely

In laughter and in sorrows

Where love abides

There is the place we'll keep our love forever

You and I

Because we are in love



When love abides

There is the place we'll keep our home forever

You and I

Because we are in love

For those whose eyes would see

Render them in faith to me

For all those seeking peace

In my arms their strife shall cease

And place in me the agony you bear

Nothing can impair the perfect love I bring

In a simple offering

Your wonderful parade

Moving thru the towns that rise and then they fade

Over streets that pass the houses where youve stayed

Your wonderful parade



Your daily masquerade

Paper masks behind this face that you have made

Crumble down upon foundation that you've laid

Your daily masquerade



(*) Stand in line try to climb

Meet your wife at cocktail time

Surely you should try and choose a better way to fall

Your marvelous charade

Never could be worth the prices that youve paid

Blindness is a part of every game youve played

Your marvelous charade



Repeat (*)



Your daily masquerade

Your wonderful parade

Someday rested from hours of sleeping
We'll stay safely behind
what we're keeping
You'll seem warmer than
I had remembered you
Lying so close
I'll be able to feel you breathe
I could never leave
One day, when I am able to love you
I'll come back from wherever
I've been to
I'll see you looking the same
as you always have
Lovely, so lovely
I'll cling to the love you give
So I'll start to live
Someday is coming
If I believe it
Someday always brings the
good life you knew
Ever back to you
How I need you
Someday, all I can give you is someday
Someday, all I can offer is someday
Please say that you'll be
waiting when someday
comes
Promise me this and a kiss
to keep what you are
Always close to me

How I need you
Someday, all I can give you is someday
Someday, all I can offer is someday
Please say that you'll be
waiting when someday
comes
Promise me this and a kiss
to keep what you are
Always close to me

Love is but a song we sing

And fear's the way we die

You can make the mountains sing

Or make the angels cry

Though the dove is on the wing

You need not know why



(*) Come on people now

Smile on your brother

Everybody get together

Love one another right now



Some will come and some will go

This will surely pass

When the one who left us here

Returns for us at last

We are but a moment's sunlight

Fading in the grass



Repeat (*)



If you hear the song we sing,

You will understand

You hold the key to love and fear

It's in your trembling hand

One key unlocks them both, you know

It's at your command



Repeat (*)



Love one another right now

Love one another right now

All of my life I have been waiting
For just one boy
And all of my life I have been waiting
For all the joy of having
Someone that I can call my own
Who'll come to my side when I am all alone
And now you are here and I've found a whole new world
Has opened for me
A world filled with joy
A world filled with all your love
Eternally() For you say you're mine
You'll love me all the time
Night and day
Come what may, and all of my life
You'll be my ownI just want


()

I guess you Know
what it's all about
All the answers seem so
clear to you
You know just exactly
what do you want to do
And never allow a feeling
of doubt
I guess you see
where your road can lead
And all the pain
that you have in a store
For now you have chosen
to look every door
And find on your own
what you think you need
Turn away find a way your own
I'll be there waiting here to say
Turn away find a way your own
I'll still be calling your name

And if I tried to show you how
Tomorrow is never like yesterday
Would you change your mind
and see things my way
Or are you afraid that
I'll bring you down
Turn away find a way your own
I'll be there waiting here to say
Turn away find a way your own
I'll still be calling your name
Turn away find a way your own
I'll be there waiting here to say
Turn away find a way your own
I'll still be calling your name
Turn away find a way your own
I'll be there waiting here to say
Turn away find a way your own
I'll still be calling your name
Turn away find a way your own
I'll be there waiting here to say
Turn away find a way your own

(*) I Think I'm gonna be sad

I think it's today, yeah

The boy that's driving me mad is going away



(**) He's got a ticket to ride

He's got a ticket to ride

He's got a ticket to ride

And he don't care



He said that living with me

Is bringing him down, yeah

He would never be free

When I was around



Repeat (**)



Don't know why he's ridin' so high

He ought to do right

He ought to do right by me

Before he gets to sayin' good-bye

He ought to do right

He ought to do right by me



Repeat (*)

Repeat (**)



Don't care

Think I'm gonna be sad...

Love, don't be afraid to love and get love returned

Don't be afraid to tell everyone you're learned

(*) That love is a groovy thing

It knows how to make you sing

Ant it fills up your life with sunshine and joy

Don't be afraid to give all you've got to give

One of these days you'll find that's the way to live

And living is what we all were put on this earth to do

So come on and live and be happy



Don't be afraid to love



Repeat (*)



Oh, live and be happy

Don't be afraid to love

Don't be afraid to love

Don't be afraid to love

Don't be afraid to love

Getting away from all the things that need doing

Lazily here to lose the afternoon

Lying around here on the ground

It's as close to getting up as I can go



Taking a chance to free myself from my worries

Cover them well enough and no one sees

Nobody knows until they show

And the only thing to do is try to cover them again



(*) Hurry yourself, what's the use?

Mountains of wealth, I refuse

To be somebody's slave for a dime

I've got plenty of mountains

I'm lookin' to find, spending my time



Lying around, here on the ground

It's as close to getting up as I can go

Pleasing myself is all that really needs doing

Everything else begins but never ends



Listen to me and you'll agree

That a man is better off

If he has come to realize



Repeat (*) twice

Ooh, ooh, ba

Yesterday I thought you'd stay

I thought you'd see things my way

But now I see my hopes may be dead

I should have known when you said

I was the one you wanted

Wanting meant nothing more than today

(*) All I can do is cry over you

And hope you return someday

All I can do is cry over you

Ever since you've gone away


Every road that I follow

Leaves me with no tomorrow

I need someone to show me the way

Repeat (*)

Baba, baba, baba

Baba, baba, baba

Eve I can't believe

That you could mean

What you just said

Think of what you are

How very far you are from being real

Look into the mirror

Nothing there to see

Eve I can't believe

You'd really leave him

(
) Notice how her image saddens

How lonely she's become

Just once I'd like to see her happy

Before the winter comes

Eve, I wouldn't lie

The open sky is not your home

Wide as it may be

Reality is here among the stones

Thorns among the roses

Add to what is real

Eve, you are a rose

Among the thorns here

(
)

I wish her only good times

Before the winter comes

Sing, sing



Who's that stompin' all over my face?

Where's that sillhouette I'm trying to trace?

And who's putting sponge in the bells I once rung

And taking my gypsy before she's begun



Just singing and a dreaming of what's in my mind

Before I can take home what's rightfully mine

Joinin' and a listenin' and talkin' in rhymes

Stoppin' the feeling to wait for the times



(*) Who's saying maybe

That don't mean a thing"

'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing

Sing, sing



Who's all hung-up on that happiness thing?

Who's trying to tune all the bells they ring?

And who's in the corner and down on the floor

With pencil and paper just counting the score



Who's trying to act like he's just in-between?

The night isn't black, if you know that it's green

Don't bother looking, you're too blind to see

Who's coming on like he wanted to be?



Repeat (*)



Who's coming home on the old 9 to 5?

Who's got the feeling here to keep him alive?

Though havin' it, sharin' it, ain't quite the same

You painted it golden nugget, you can't lay claim



Who's seeing eyes through the crack in the floor?

There it is baby, don't you worry no more

Who should be sleepin', but 's writing this song

Wishin' and a-hopin' he weren't so damned wrong



Repeat (*) twice
