It was an early morning yesterday I was up before the dawn And I really have enjoyed my stay But I must be moving on Like a king without a castle Like a queen without a throne I'm an early morning lover And I must be moving on Now I believe in what you say Is the undisputed truth But I have to have things my own way To keep me in my youth Like a ship without an achor Like a slave without a chain Just the thought of those sweet ladies Sends a shiver through my veins And I will go on shining Shining like brand new I'll never look behind me My troubles will be few Goodbye stranger, it's been nice Hope you find your paradise Tried to see your point of view Hope your dreams will all come true Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane Will we ever meet again Feel no sorrow, feel no shame Come tomorrow, feel no pain Now some they do and some they don't And some you just can't tell And some they will and some they won't With some it's just as well You can laugh at my behavior That'll never bother me Say the devil is my savior But I don't pay no heed And I will go on shining Shining like brand new I'll never look behind me My troubles will be few Goodbye stranger, it's been nice Hope you find your paradise Tried to see your point of view Hope your dreams will all come true Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane Will we ever meet again Feel no sorrow, feel no shame Come tomorrow, feel no pain
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful, A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical. And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, Joyfully, playfully watching me. But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible, Logical, responsible, practical. And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, Clinical, intellectual, cynical.
There are times when all the world's asleep, The questions run too deep For such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd But please tell me who I am.
Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical, Liberal, fanatical, criminal. Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're Acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!
At night, when all the world's asleep, The questions run so deep For such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd But please tell me who I am.
I've been locked out I've been locked in But I always seem to come back again When you're in that room What do you do? I know that I will have you in the end
And the clouds they are crying on you And the birds are offering up their tunes In a shack as remote as a mansion You escape into a place where nothing moves
I've been locked out And I know we're through But I can't begin to face up to the truth I waited so long for the walls to crack But I know that I will one day have you back
And the hills are as soft as a pillow And they cast a shadow on my bed And the view when I look through my window Is an altarpiece I'm praying to for the living and the dead
Twin valley shines in the morning sun I send a message out to my only one
And I've been locked out and I know we're through But I can't begin to face up to the truth I waited so long for the walls to crack But I know that I will one day have you back
And I work with the bees and the honey And every night I circle like the moon And it's a act of simple devotion But it can take forever when you've got something to prove
I live in a vacumn, no air I'm stuck in back room, somewhere But it don't bother me amyway 'cos I know Goin' to get out soon, I got places to go There's a big world waiting for me I just need a break, someone to believe but right now I'm just tryin' to survive Livin' rough, shackin' up, hangin' tough, shapin' up
Get the picture, get the scene I paint fo ryou Ah, but it's worth it, all the pain I'm goin' thru Beat the sidewalk, hear the fast talk, everyday I don't worry 'cos I know I'm on my way
The view from my window, ain't too good Should be some mail for me soon from Hollywood When the phone rings, could be big things, anytime Operator is there somethin' wrong with this line
Rejections, I've had a few Happens to the best, it ain't nothin' new Still I keep on swingin' away S'gonna be a breakthrough any day
Keep hanging in there, that's my philosophy And soon I'll find my big chance, wait and see Some make it fast, but they just come and go Me, I'm built to last and that's one thing I know
Those straight life people, they don't understand Yeah they just want it all laid out and planned Me, I'm not like them, I do things my own way I know I'm gonna break thru any day
Life in the city, can get you down There's amillion guys out there all snooping around You gotta think you're the best, beat out all the rest And fight your way up to the top of the town
There's a big world waiting for me I just need a break, someone to believe Right now I'm just tryin' to survive I'm know I'm gonna get there, dead or alive
You say you're so tired, you're never satisfied But I can't seem to make you understand I see your point of view, life's been too good to you Just stand up and face things like a man
You better get your act together If you ever wanna take it out on the road You know you can't sit around Or those bad times are gonna get to you And you're never gonna get to see it through
I know, things don't seem so good right now But you gotta move along somehow Try to do the best you can Sure enough, things will slowly turn around You won't always be so down I know that it's true
It won't always be such stormy weather It may be a cliche but the sun is gonna shine You know you can't sit around Or the bad times are gonna get to you And you're never ever gonna see it through
It don't matter where you've been It's where you're going to Yeah, and it won't do you no good Just livin' in the past Oh, you can't sit around You know the bad times are gonna get to you And you're never ever gonna see it through
And they're never ever gonna go Yeah, they'll be here to stay And it's always gonna be that way You know what I'm saying I think you know just what I'm saying Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes ...
The situation's clear It's fine as long as you are here Of that I'm really sure I will live to love you more
They say you drag me down They try to tell me you're around Just to even up a score But I will live to love you more
And they say I've been blind That you deceive me every time And soon our love will end But I will live to love again
So what if they can't see You know I'll love you endlessly And this they can't ignore I will live to love you more I will live to love you more
I know they're only rumors Although they say the truth hurts I don't need to hear lies and To fantasize you leaving me
But then I think it all over Over and over I still want you around me You know you astound me I couldn't live without you
If there's a price to pay It's worth it just to hear you say All their lies are just a bore But I will live to love you more
The situation's clear It's fine as long as you are here Of that I'm really sure I will live to love you more Yes, I will live to love you more
I will live to love you And put no-one above you I will live to love you more More and more
You know where my heart is With you alone my every thought is I will live to love you more, love you more I will live to love you more
Love, love you for evermore I'm gonna... love, love you for evermore I'm gonna... love, love you for evermore I'm gonna... love, love you for evermore I'm gonna... love, love you for evermore ...
I went back my home town To the school and walked around And the way it felt Seemed just like yesterday
From the cradle to the grave Some say we never change No matter how we try We try to rearrange
And like father so like son It's as if wife we're both as one Just as if our fate was... it was pre-ordained
In some countries far from here You know the one's we used to fear Are they waiting to return to Those old evil ways
You can take a correspondence course Be single, married or divorced You can psychoanalyze your brain But you know some things will never change
And what will all those people do When Russia starts anew They'll just stand in line All under a different name
You can listen to those brainwash tapes Take a Jewish, Catholic, Buddhist faith But I'm sure it's gonna be in vain 'Cos you know some things will never change
And if their theories all come true Then there's nothin' we can do Where the future lies Well it's not to hard to tell
But after all is said and done And the world lives as one You can bid those old taboo's A fond fare well Yes a long fare well A very long fare well
Well if you want some advice You gotta listen to me Get a hold of your life And you can have a new dream Forget the ups and the downs There's a new game in town For every turn in the road There's a new way to go
I don't care what you say Gonna find my own way You just try to persuade Everyone around you
We'll make it easy for you Plan everything that you do Won't have to work very hard You'll make it big from the start Don't have to take it from me Here's a list you can see Where every one of those names Have found their fortune and fame
Well it all sound so sweet So simple and so neat But can I... I believe Anything you tell me?
I know your life's a big mistake Let's go, this music you must face
Listen to me please I'm down upon my knees They'll never treat you like they did before I'll make your dreams come true Now all I need is you Please believe me and all this will be yours
You'll have a penthouse in town You'll be the king with a crown Live on country estate You'll have a twenty foot gate And getting tanned by the pool You'll be making them drool Taking trip overseas Do anything that you please
I feel so alone Where did I go so wrong? Do you know? Can you tell? Maybe can you help me
I know, it's hard for you to take Let's go, this move you have to make
Listen to me please I'm down upon my knees They'll never treat you like they did before I'll make your dreams come true Now all I need is you Please believe me and all this will be yours
Your vision will be clear Your pain will disappear You'll know that I'll be watching over you I'm gonna chase your blues away So change your life today Everything I say to you is true
Listen to me please I'm down upon my knees They'll never treat you like they did before I'm gonna make your dreams come true Now all I need is you Please believe me and all this will be yours
Your vision will be clear Your pain will disappear You'll know that I'll be watching over you I'll chase your blues away Change your life today Everything I say to you is so true
Listen to me please I'm down upon my knees They'll never treat you like they did before ...
Sooner or later it's gonna get better Sooner or later I'm gonna get over her
You know I can't go on like this It's just a matter of time There'll come a day when I will wake up Without her on my mind
Sooner or later it's gonna get better Sooner or later I'm gonna get over her
They say that time will heal everything So I'm winding the clock And waiting for the glorious moment When my heartache will stop
She let me go It took me by surprise I feel out of place Without her by my side
Sooner or later it's gonna get better Sooner or later I'm gonna get over her Sooner or later Sooner or later Sooner or later Sooner or later Sooner or later
So many years have come and gone since then Still i can't forget the past But you and me, we'll surelt meet again And maybe find the truth at last And the light, in the night Shines on brightly If it's alright with you It's alright with me Well i believe, that fate will find a way To guide us through these restless years And yes i know, that we'll speak one day With no more doubts and no more fears And the light, in the night Shines on brightly If it's alright with you It's alright with me
So tell me now, if you can share my view Tell me where your comin' from We've both had time, time to think it through To know just where we both belong And the light, in the night Shines on brightly If it's alright with you It's alright with me
In time this fire will turn to ashes The sun will fall out the sky Still you see no urgency To spend some time with me Time with me
I can't believe you haven't noticed Just how long I've been waitin' for you I've been such a patient man But I still don't understand You won't
Give me a chance to show how much I love you Give me a chance to show how much I care How I care
It's hard to know just what you're thinkin' You cloak yourself in mistery Conversations always brief Like a sigh with no relief You won't
Give me a chance to show how much I love you Give me a chance to show how much I care Give me a chance to show how much I love you If you dare
Give me a chance to show how much I love you Give me a chance to show how much I care If you dare
You gotta give me a chance to show how much I love you Give me a chance to show how much I care Give me a chance to show how much I love you Give me a chance Give me a chance You gotta give me a chance You gotta give me a chance to show just how much I love you Give me a chance ...
Yes I've been waiting Waiting patiently and waiting
Well if you ever feeling sorry So sorry for yourself And they tell you not to worry Just leave your problems on the shelf
C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what? That's what they tell you C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what? Day and night
You're on the inside looking outside Wishing you were somewhere else But you sit back with reservations As you count up all your unearned wealth
C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what? Ah they're sayin' it again C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what? You know it and I know it too
Well let me tell you a story Like the one's I used to know 'Bout love and all its glory Well I'm sorry but it just ain't so
It took a long time just to get even If you know just what I mean So let's call it even Steven In the land of broken dreams
C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what? Ah they're at it again C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what? Every day and every night I can't take it anymore
Gonna get it, don't sweat it Don't apologize, it's all around you Gonna get it, don't sweat it Don't apologize, it's all around you
You may never be all that you wanna be Deep down inside you, you know it will never be No bed of roses or walk down the avenue Culturally, socially, people walk over you Get with the program and make with the attitude Life is a dream if you face it my friend
Where there's a will, there's a way Or so they say A friend in need is a friend indeed He'll be there every day And if it's trouble that's in store You know they'll tell you even more Where there's a will, there's a way That's what thet'll say When the writing is on the wall And if you could fall When your best ain't good enough And life's tough When the lad of hope and dreams Isn't always what it seems Where there's a will, there's a way They always say You may be sorry, you may be sad, you may be blue You think you'll never see the sun come breaking thru You struggle morning noon and night And you still I can't get it right But where there's a will, there's a way Just say it every day so much for pain Well so much for trouble, so much for heartache You just gotta get up, you just gotta reach out You gotta try and try again You think you'll never see it thru But what the hell you gonna do Where there's a will, there's a way You've heard'em say Well I don't no nothing 'bout this world But after all is said and done and all it's wrong I can tell you now, why we all can't get along We gootta keep on, keepin' on 'Cos where there's a will, there's a way I don't know what to say Thru all your sorrows In times of sadness, all your dreams, and all your joys in time of grief and even times that you enjoy As your life you live it through You know it all depends on you And if where there's a will, there's a way You better get down and pray From the cradle to the grave You better say it every day When the crime's above the law When the mighty oceans roar When the plane's about to fall When tomorrow's at your door Where there's a will, there's a way That's what they'll say
Surely there's a way I could please you Only in your past lie the tears Surely there's a day you can say went your way Some illusion you can keep through the years
Only if I lied could I love you Nothing of our lives could we share Only could we try to get by on a sigh Just because, just this once, I was there
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical. And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, joyfully, playfully watching me. But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, responsible, practical. And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical.
There are times when all the world's asleep, the questions run too deep for such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am.
Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical, liberal, fanatical, criminal. Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable!
At night, when all the world's asleep, the questions run so deep for such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am.
You win, I lose I beg, you choose You're so cool and I'm confused I'm me and you're you You're so loose and I'm uptight You're day, I'm night
Like two ships in the night in foggy weather, Just a waitin' for fresh winds to blow. Maybe we're losin' one another I could be wrong I don't know
You get the best, I get the rest You pass the test, I'm just a mess You got it made, I'm in the shade Like two ships in the night ... Like two dopes in the boat, without a paddle Just a wonderin' why it don't go We could be losin' one another I could be wrong I don't know
I know you're tryin' to phase me It's gonna drive me crazy I can't wait for the day when
I win, You lose You beg and I choose You're in the shade, I'm on parade
If there's no way of knowing where's the answer, You should know if you need me by now, tell me how. You saw me in the first place, Who d'you think I am How can you be so two-faced And tell me where I stand Yeah, we've been here once before, I see you by the door, You said you knew and all were calling, Yeah, you know you just can't lose, All you have to do is choose, let me in on where your heart is.
You ain't nothing but another man's woman, Living on another man's land; At night I hear a hound dog callin, A callin' me a cheatin' man. I tell you somethin', I need good lovin', but you don't understand, At night I see you cannonball comin' To blow me to the promised land.
If there's no-way of showing where your love lies, Is it me?, is it him?, or no-one; What will be done? About the mess you made me, Oh don't you give a damn, You're gonna drive me crazy, It's more than I can stand, 'Round and 'round we always go First it's yes and then it's no, Oh whatever keeps me sane? I'm so helpless, can't you see? Did you cast a spell on me, Say you love me please, I'm praying
