If you search
for tenderness
It isn't hard
to find
You can have the love
you need to live
But if you look
for truthfulness
You might just as well
be blind
It always seems to be
so hard to give
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you
I can always
find someone
To say they
sympathize
If I wear my heart out
on my sleeve
But I don't want
some pretty face
To tell me
pretty lies
All I want is
someone to believe
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you
I can find a lover
I can find a friend
I can have security
until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me
with promises again
I know (I know)
I know wo wo
When I'm deep
inside of me
Don't be too
concerned
I won't ask
for nothing
While
I'm gone
But when I want
sincerity
Tell me
where else can I turn
'Cause you're the one
that I depend upon
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you

Yesterday
All my troubles
Seemed so far away
Now it looks as though
They're here to stay
Oh I believe in
Yesterday
Suddenly
I'm not half the man
I used to be
There's a shadow
Hanging over me
Oh Yesterday
Came suddenly
Why she
Had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said
Something wrong now I
long for yesterday
Yesterday
love was such an easy
Game to play
Now I need a place to
Hide away
Oh I believe in
Yesterday Why she
Had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said
Something wrong now I
long for yesterday
Yesterday
love was such an easy
Game to play
Now I need a place to
Hide away
Oh I believe in
Yesterday Mm mm
Mm mm mm mm mm.

Well today
I'm so weary
Today I'm
so blue
Sad and
broken hearted
And it's all
because of you
Life was
so sweet dear
Life was
a song
Now you've gone
and left me
Oh where
do I belong
And it's
all for the love
Of a dear
little girl
All for
the love
That sets your heart
in a whirl
I'm a man
who'd give his life
And the joys
of this world
All for the love
of a girl

And it's
all for the love
Of a dear
little girl
All for
the love
That sets your heart
in a whirl
I'm a man
who'd give his life
And the joys
of this world
All for the love
of a girl

If I had to
live my life
Without you near me
The days would
all be empty
The nights would seem
so long
And you I see forever
oh so clearly
I might have been
in love before
But it never felt
this strong
Our dreams are young
and we both know
They'll take us
where we want to go
Hold me now
Touch me now
I don't want to live
without you
Nothing's gonna change
my love for you
You oughta know by now
How much I love you
One thing you can be
sure of
I'll never ask for
more than your love
Nothing's gonna change
my love for you
You oughta know by now
How much I love you
You'll only change
my whole life through
Nothing's gonna change
my love for you
If the road a head
is not so easy
Our love will lead
a way for us
Like a guiding star
I'll be there for you
if you should need me
You don't have to
change a thing
I love you just
the way you are
So come with me and
share the view
I'll help you see
forever too
Hold me now
Touch me now
I don't want to
live without you
Nothing's gonna change
my love for you
You oughta know by now
How much I love you
One thing you can be

One summer night
the stars were
Shining bright
one summer dream
Made with fancy whims
that summer night
My whole world
tumbled down
I could have died
if not for you
Each night
I pray for you
My heart would
cry for you
The sun won't
shine again
Since you have gone
each time
I think of you
my heart would
Beat for you
you are
The one
for me
Set me free like the
sparrows up the tree
Give a sign
so I would
Ease my mind
just say a word
And I'll come
running wild
Give me a chance
to live again
Each night
I pray for you
My heart would
cry for you
The sun won't
shine again
Since you have gone
each time
I think of you
my heart would
Beat for you
you are
The one
for me
One summer night
the stars were
Shining bright
one summer dream
Made with
fancy whims
That summer night
my whole world
Tumbled down
I could have died
If not for you
each night
I pray for you
my heart would
Cry for you
the sun won't
Shine
again
Since you
have gone
Each time
I think of you
My heart would
beat for you
You are the one
for me

I can see the pain
living in your eyes
And I know how
hard you try
You deserve to have
so much more
I can feel your hurt
and I sympathize
And I'll never
critisize
All you ever meant
to my life-
I don't want to
let you down
I don't want to
lead you on
I don't want to
hold you back from
Where you might
belong
You would
never ask me why
My heart is
so disguised
I just can't
live a lie anymore
I would- rather
hurt myself
Than to ever
make you cry
There's nothing
left to say
But goodbye
ah- goodbye-
You deserve a chance
at the kind of love
I'm not sure I'm
worthy of
Losing you is painful
for me
I don't want to
let you down
I don't want to
lead you on
I don't want to
hold you back
From where you
might belong
You would never
ask me why
My heart is
so disguised
I just can't
live a lie anymore
I would rather
hurt myself
Than to ever
make you cry
There's nothing
left to say-
But
goodbye-

You would never
ask me why
My hurt is
so disguised
I just can't
live a lie anymore
I would- rather
hurt myself
Than to ever
make you cry
There's nothing
left you try
No it's gonna
hurt us both
There's no other way
than to say goodbye
Uhm----
goodbye-

Here I stand
all alone
Have my mind
turned to stone
Have my heart
filled up with ice
To avoid
it's breakin' twice
Thanks to you
my dear old friend
But you can't help
this is the end
Of a tale
that wasn't right
I won't have no sleep
tonight
In my heart
in my soul
I really hate to pay
this toll
Should be strong
young and bold
But the only thing
I feel is pain
It's alright
we'll stay friends
Trustin'
in my confidence
And let's say
it's just alright
You won't sleep alone
tonight
In my heart
in my soul
I really hate to pay
this toll
Should be strong
young and bold
But the only thing
I feel is pain-

With my heart
with my soul
Some guys cry
you bought and sold
They've been strong
young and bold
And they say play
this song again
In my heart
in my soul
I really hate to pay
this toll
Should be strong
young and bold
But the only thing
I feel is pain-

This romeo is
bleeding
But you can't see
his blood
It's nothing
but some feelings
That this old dog
kicked up
It's been raining
since you left me
Now I'm drowning
in the flood
You see I've always
been a fighter
But without you
I give up
Now I can't
sing a love song
Like the way
it's meant to be
Well I guess I'm not
that good anymore
But baby
that's just me
And I will love you
baby always
And I'll be there
forever and a day
Always
I'll be there
Till the stars
don't shine
Till the heavens
burst and the words
Don't rhyme
and I know when
I die you'll be
on my mind
And I'll love you
always
Now your pictures
that you left behind
Are just memories
of a different life
Some that made us
laugh some
That made us cry
one that made
You have to say
goodbye
What I'd give to run
my fingers through
Your hair
touch your lips
To hold you near
when you say
Your prayers try
to understand
I've made mistakes
I'm just a man
When he holds
you close
When he pulls
you near
When he says
the words you've been
Needing to hear
I'll wish
I was him cause those
words are mine
To say to you till the
end of time
That I will love you
baby always
And I'll be there
forever and a day
Always
if you told me
To cry for you
I could
If you told me
to die for you
I would
take a look at
My face
there's no price
I won't pay
to say
These words
to you

Well there ain't
no luck
In these loaded dice
but baby if you
Give me just
one more try
We can pack up
our old dreams
And our old lives
we'll find a place
Where the sun still
shines
And I will love you
baby always
And I'll be there
forever and a day
Always
I'll be there
Till the stars
don't shine
Till the heavens
burst and the words
Don't rhyme
and I know when
I die you'll be
on my mind
And I'll love you
always always

Nella fantasia io
vedo un mondo giusto
Li tutti vivono
in pace e in onesta
Io sogno d'anime
che sono sempre libere
Come le nuvole
che volano~
Pien' d'umanita~
in fondo all'anima~
Nella fantasia io
vedo un mondo chiaro
Li anche la notte
e meno oscura
Io sogno d'anime
che sono sempre libere
Come le nuvole
che volano~
Nella fantasia
esiste un vento caldo
Che soffia sulle citta
come amico
Io sogno d'anime
che sono sempre libere
Come le nuvole
che volano~
Pien' d'umanita~
in fondo all'anima~

It's nine o'clock
on a Saturday
The regular crowd
shuffles in
There's an old man
sitting next to me
Making love
to his tonic and gin

He says son can you
play me a memory
I'm not really sure
how it goes
But it's sad
and it's sweet
And I knew it
complete
When I wore
a younger man's
Clothes na-- na---
na- na-- na-
Sing us a song
you're the piano man
Sing us a song
tonight
Well we're all in
the mood for a melody
And you've got us
feeling alright-

Now John at the bar
is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks
for free
And he's quick
with a joke
Or to light up
your smoke
But there's someplace
that he'd rather be
He says Bill I believe
this is killing me
As the smile ran away
from his face
Well I'm sure that
I could be
A movie star
if I could get out
Of this place na--
na--- na- na-- na-
Now Paul is
a real estate novelist
Who never had time
for a wife
And he's talking
with Davy
Who's still
in the navy
And probably
will be for life

And the waitress is
practicing politics
As the businessmen
slowly get stoned
Yes they're sharing
a drink
They call
loneliness
But it's better than
drinking alone

Sing us a song
you're the piano man
Sing us a song
tonight
Well we're all in
the mood for a melody
And you've got us
feeling alright-

It's a pretty good
crowd for a Saturday
And the manager
give me a smile
'Cause he knows
that it's me
They've been coming
to see
To forget about
life for a while
And the piano
it sounds
Like a carnival
and the microphone
Smells like a beer and
they sit at the bar
And put bread
in my jar
And say man what
are you doing here
Oh- na-- na---
na- na-- na-
Sing us a song
you're the piano man
Sing us a song
tonight
Well we're all in
the mood for a melody
And you've got us
feeling alright-

Met you by surprise
I didn't realize
That my life would
change forever
Saw you standing there
I didn't know I cared
There was
something special
In the air
dreams are my reality
The only kind of
real fantasy
Illusions are
a common thing
I try to live
in dreams
It seems as
if it's meant to be
Dreams are
my reality
A different kind
of reality
I dream of loving
in the night
And loving
seems alright
Although
it's only fantasy-

If you do exist
honey don't resist
Show me a new way
of loving
Tell me that it's true
show me what to do
I feel
something special
About you
dreams are my reality
The only kind
of reality
Maybe my foolishness
has past
And maybe now at last
I'll see
How a real thing
can be
Dreams are
my reality
A wonderous world
where I like to be
I dream of holding you
all night
And holding you
seems right
Perhaps that's
my reality-

Met you by surprise
I didn't realize
That my life would
change forever
Tell me that it's true
feelings that are cue
I feel
something special
About you
dreams are my reality
A wonderous world
where I like to be
Illusions are
a common thing
I try to live
in dreams
Although
it's only fantasy
Dreams are
my reality
I like to dream of you
close to me
I dream of loving
in the night
And loving you
seems right
Perhaps that's
my reality-

Tell me somethin'
girl
Are you happy
in this modern world
Or do you
need more
Is there
somethin' else
You're
searchin' for
I'm falling
in all the good times
I find myself
longin' for change
And in the bad times
I fear myself
Tell me something
boy
Aren't you
tired
Tryin' to fill
that void
Or do you
need more
Ain't it hard
keeping it so hardcore
I'm falling
in all the good times
I find myself
longing for change
And in the bad times
I fear myself
I'm off the deep end
watch as I dive in
I'll never meet
the ground
Crash through
the surface
Where
they can't hurt us
We're far from
the shallow now
In the shallow
shallow
In the shallow
shallow
In the shallow
shallow
We're far from
the shallow now

I'm off the deep end
watch as I dive in
I'll never meet
the ground
Crash through
the surface
Where
they can't hurt us
We're far from
the shallow now
In the shallow
shallow
In the shallow
shallow
In the shallow
shallow
We're far from
the shallow now

This is gonna
hurt
But I blame myself
first
'Cause I ignored
the truth
Drunk off of that love
my head up
There's no forgetting
you
You've awoken me
but you're choking me
I was so obsessed
gave you all of me
And now honestly
I got nothing left
I loved you
dangerously
More than the air
that I breathe
Knew we would crash
at the speed
That we were going
didn't care
If the explosion
ruined me
Baby I loved you
dangerously mmm mmm
I loved you
dangerously
Usually
I hold the power
With both my hands
tied behind my back
Look at
how things changed
'Cause now you're
the train
And I'm tied
to the track
You've awoken me
but you're choking me
I was so obsessed
gave you all of me
And now honestly
I got nothing left
'Cause I loved you
dangerously
More than the air
that I breathe
Knew we would crash
at the speed
That we were going
didn't care
If the explosion
ruined me
Baby I loved you
dangerously
You took me down down
down down
And kissed my lips
with goodbye
I see it now now
now now
It was a matter
of time
You know
I know
There's only one place
this could lead
But you are the fire
and I'm gasoline
I love you I love you
I love you
I loved you
dangerously
Woo more than the air
that I breathe
Oh now knew we would
crash at the speed
That we were going
didn't care
If the explosion
ruined me
Oh oh baby I loved you
dangerously mmm mmm
Woo I loved you
dangerously
Woo I loved you
dangerously

Put your loving
hand out baby
'Cause
I'm beggin'
I'm beggin'
beggin' you
So put your loving
hand out baby
I'm beggin'

So put your loving
hand out darlin'
Riding high
when I was king
I played it
hard and fast
'Cause

I walked away

But easy come and easy
go and it would end
So anytime I bleed
you let me go
Yah anytime I feed
you get me know
Anytime I seek
you let me know
But I planted that
seed just let me go
I'm on my knees
when I'm beggin'
'Cause I don't wanna
lose you
Hey yeah

'Cause I'm beggin'
beggin' you
Uh put your loving
hand out baby
I'm beggin'
beggin' you
And put your loving
hand out darlin'
I need you
to understand
Tried so hard
to be your man
The kind of man
you want in the end
Only then can I begin
to live again
An empty shell
I used to be
The shadow of my life
was hangin' over me
A broken man
that I don't know
Won't even
stand
The devil's dance
to win my soul
What we doin'
what we chasin'
Why the bottom
why the basement
Why we got good sxxx
don't embrace it
Why the feel for
the need to replace me
You're the wrong way
track from the good
I want to paint
a picture
Tellin'
where we could be at
Like a heart
in the best
Way should
you can give it away
You had it
and you took the pay
But I keep walkin' on
keep openin' doors
Keep hopin' for
now the door is yours
Keep also home
'cause I don't want
To live
in a broken home
Girl I'm beggin'
mmm yeah yeah yeah
I'm beggin'
beggin' you
So put your loving
hand out baby
I'm beggin'
beggin' you
So put your loving
hand out darlin'
I'm fighting hard
to hold my own
Just can't make it
all alone
I'm holding on
I can't fall back

'bout to fade to black

beggin' you
Put your loving
hand out baby

beggin' you
So put your loving
hand out baby
I'm beggin'
beggin' you
So put your loving
hand out

I have often
told you stories
About the way
I lived the life
Of a drifter
waiting for the day
When I'd take
your hand
And sing you songs
then maybe
You would say
come lay with me
Love me
and I would
Surely stay
but I feel
I'm growing older
and the songs that
I have sung
echo in the distance
Like the sound
of a windmill
goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier
of fortune

Many times
I've been a traveller
I looked for
something new
In days of old
when nights were cold
I wandered without you
but those days
I thougt my eyes
had seen you
Standing near
though
Blindness is confusing
it shows that
You're not here
now I feel
I'm growing older
and the songs that
I have sung
echo in the distance
Like the sound
of a windmill
Goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
I can hear the sound
Of a windmill
goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
a soldier of fortune
I guess I'll always be
a soldier of fortune

Perhaps love is like
a resting place
A shelter
from the storm
It exists to give you
comfort it is
There to keep you Warm
And in those times
of trouble when
you are most alone
The memory of love will
bring you home
Perhaps love
is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you
to come closer
It Wants
to show you more
And even if you
lose yourself
and don't know
what to do
The memory of love will
see you thru
Oh love to some is
like a cloud
To some
as strong as steel
For some a way
of living For
some a way to feel
And some say love
is holding on
And some say
letting go
And some say love
is ev'rything
some say they
don't know
perhaps love
is like the ocean
Full of conflict
full of pain
Like a fire
When it's cold outside
Thunder when
it rains If I should
live forever
And all my dreams
come true
My memories
of love will
be of you.

And some say love is
holding on
And some say
letting go
And some say love
is ev'rything
some say they
don't know
Perhaps love
is like the ocean
Full of conflict
full of pain
Like a fire
When it's cold outside
Thunder when
it rains If I should
live forever
And all my dreams
come true
My memories
of love will be of you.

Um-------
there's a hero--
If you look inside
your heart-
You don't have
to be afraid
Oh what you are-----
there's an answer---
If you reach
into your soul---
And the sorrow
that you know--
Will melt
away----------
And then a hero
comes along
With the strength
to carry on--
And you cast
your fears aside--
And you know
you can survive---
So when you feel
like hope is gone--
Look inside you and
be strong--
And you finally
see the truth--
That a hero
lies in you--
It's a long-- road--
when you face
The world alone--
no one reaches out
A hand
for you to hold------
You can find--- love--
if you search
Within yourself---
and the emptiness
You felt-- will
disappear------------
And then a hero
comes along
With the strength
to carry on---
And you cast
you fears aside--
And you know
you can survive---
So when you feel
like hope is gone--
Look inside you
and be strong----
And you'll finally
see the truth---
That a hero lies
in you--- oh-----
Lord knows-----
dreams are hard to-
Follow-- but don't let
anyone---
Tear them away-----
hold-- on-----
There will be
tomorrow-- in- time--
You'll find
the way-----
And then a hero
comes along--
With the strength
to carry on---
And you cast
your fears aside----
And you know
you can survive----
So when you feel
like hope is gone---
Look inside you and
be strong---
And you'll finally
see the truth----
That a hero lies
in you-----
That a hero lies
in---- you-
Um---- that a hero
lies in-- you---

Love of my life
you've hurt me
You've broken my heart
and now you leave me
Love of my life
can't you see
Bring it back
bring it back
Don't take it away
from me because
You don't know
what it means to me
Love of my life
don't leave me
You've taken my love
you now desert me
Love of my life
can't you see
Bring it back
bring it back
Don't take it away
from me because
You don't know
what it means to me-

You will remember when
this is blown over
And everything's
all by the way
When I grow older
I will be there
At your side
to remind you
How I still love you
I still love you-

Back hurry back
please bring it back
Home to me because
you don't know
What it means to me
love of my life
Love of my life
ooh-

She was more
like a beauty
Queen from
a movie scene
I said don't mind
but what do you mean
I am the one
who will dance
On the floor
in the round
She said I am the one
who will dance
On the floor
in the round
She told me her name
was Billie Jean
As she caused a scene
then every head turned
With eyes that dreamed
of being- the one
Who will dance
on the floor
In the round
people always told me
Be careful of
what you do
And don't go around
breaking
Young girls' hearts
and mother always
Told me be careful of
who you love
And be careful of
what you do
Cause the lie becomes
the truth hey--
Billie Jean
is not my lover
She's just a girl-
who claims that
I am the one
but the kid
Is not my son
she says I am the one
But the kid
is not my son
For forty days
and forty nights
The law was
on her side
But who can stand
when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
'cause we danced
On the floor
in the round
So take
my strong advice
Just remember
to always think twice
Do think twice
she told my baby
We'd danced till three
then she looked at me
Then showed a photo
my baby
Cried his eyes
were like mine
'Cause we dance
on the floor
In the round baby
people always told me
Be careful of
what to do
And don't go around
breaking
Young girls' hearts
she came and
Stood right by me
then the smell of
Sweet perfume
this happened much
Too soon
she called me
To her room hey--
Billie Jean
Is not my lover
she's just a girl-
Who claims that
I am the one
But the kid
is not my son
Billie Jean
is not my lover
She's just a girl-
who claims that
I am the one
but the kid
Is not my son
she says I am the one
But the kid
is not my son-

She says I am the one
but the kid
Is not my son
Billie Jean
Is not my lover
she's just a girl-
Who claims that
I am the one
But the kid
is not my son
She says I am the one
but the kid
Is not my son
she says I am the one
She says I am the one
she says I am the one
Billie Jean
is not my lover
Billie Jean
is not my lover
Billie Jean
is not my lover
Billie Jean
is not my lover
Billie Jean
is not my lover
Billie Jean
is not my lover-

Listen to the song
here in my heart
A melody I start
but can't complete
Listen to the sound
from deep within
It's only beginning
to find release
Oh the time
has come
For my dreams to
be heard
They will not
be pushed
Aside and turned
into your own
All cause you won't
listen
Listen I am
alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home
in my own home
And I've tried
and tried
To say whats
on my mind
You should
have known
Oh Now I'm done
believin you
You don't know
what I'm feelin
I'm more than
what you made of me
I followed the voice
you gave to me
But now I
gotta find my own
You should
have listened
There is
someone here inside
Someone I'd thought
had died So long ago
Oh I'm screamin'
out and
My dreams
will be heard
They will not be
pushed aside or worse
Into your own
all cause you won't
Listen
listen
I am alone at
a crossroads
I'm not at home
in my own home
And I've tried
and tried
To say whats
on my mind
You should
have known
Oh Now I'm done
believin you
You don't know
what I'm feelin
I'm more than
what you made of me
I followed the voice
you gave to me
But now I
gotta find my own
I don't know
where I belong
But I'll be
movin on
If you don't
if you won't
Listen
to the song
Here in my heart
a melody I've start
But I will complete
oh Now I'm done
Believin you
you don't know
What I'm feelin
I'm more than what
You made of me
I followed the voice
You think you
gave to me
But now I gotta find
my own my own
