If I had to
live my life
Without you near me
The days would
all be empty
The nights would seem

this strong
Our dreams are young

is not so easy
Our love will lead

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

Words
don't come easy to me
How can I find
away to make you see
I love you Words
don't come easy
Words
don't come easy to me
This is the only way
for me to say
I love you Words
don't come easy
Well I'm
just a music man
Melodies for
my best friend
But my words
are coming along
Then I
I reveal my heart
to you and
Hope you believe
it's true cause
Words
don't come easy to me
How can I find away
to make you see
I love you Words
don't come easy
This is
just a simple song
That l've
made for you
on my own
There's on hidden
meaning you know
When I
When I say
I love you and honey
please believe
I really do cause-

Words
don't come easy to me
How can I find away
to make you see
I love you words
don't come easy
It isn't easy
Words don't come easy
Words
don't come easy to me
How can I find away
to make you see
I love you words
don't come easy
Don't come easy to me
This is the only way
for me to say
I love you
Words don't come easy-

I will not make
the same mistakes
That you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart
so much misery
I will not break
the way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned
The hard way
to never let it
Get that far
because of you
I never stray too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it
Hard to trust
not only me
But everyone around me
because of you
I am afraid
I lose my way
And it's not
too long
Before you point
it out
I cannot cry
because I know
That's weakness
in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
a smile a laugh
Everyday of my life
my heart can't
Possibly break
when it wasn't
Even whole
to start with
Because of you
I never stray
Too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it
Hard to trust
not only me
But everyone around me
because of you
I am afraid
I watched you die
I heard you cry
every night
In your sleep
I was so young
You should have
known better
Than to lean on me
you never thought
Of anyone else
you just saw your pain
And now I cry
in the middle
Of the night
for the same
Damn thing
because of you
I never stray too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest
Just to forget
everything
Because of you
I don't know how to
Let anyone else in
because of you
I'm ashamed of my life
because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of you
because of you

I'm sitting here
in a boring room
It's just another
rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time
I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever
happens and I wonder
I'm driving around
in my car
I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far
I'd like to change
my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm waiting for you
But nothing
ever happens
And I wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
yesterday you told me
About the
blue blue sky
And all that
I can see
Is just
a yellow lemon tree
I'm turning my head
up and down
I'm turning turning
turning turning
Turning around
and all that I can see
Is just
another lemon tree
Sing da
da da da da dee da da
Da da da da dee da da
da da da da
I'm sitting here
I miss the power
I'd like to go out
taking a shower
But there's a heavy
cloud inside my head
I feel so tired
put myself into bed
Where nothing
ever happens
And I wonder
Isolation
Is not good for me
Isolation
I don't want to
sit on a lemon tree
I'm stepping around
in a desert of joy
Baby any how
I'll get another toy
And everything
will happen
And you'll wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
yesterday you told me
About the
blue blue sky
And all that
I can see
Is just
a yellow lemon tree
I'm turning my head
up and down
I'm turning turning
turning turning
Turning around
and all that I can see
Is just
a yellow lemon tree
Yellow wonder wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
yesterday you told me
About the
blue blue sky
And all that I can see
and all that I can see
And all that
I can see
Is just
a yellow lemon tree

I'm not a stranger
to the dark
Hide away
they say
'Cause we don't want
your broken parts
I've learned
to be ashamed
Of all my scars
run away they say
No one'll love you
as you are
But I won't let them
break me down to dust
I know that
there's a place for us
For
we are glorious
When
the sharpest words
Wanna
cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood
gonna drown 'em out
I am brave
I am bruised
I am who I'm meant
to be this is me
Look out
'cause here I come
And I'm marchin' on
to the beat I drum
I'm not scared
to be seen
I make no apologies
this is me
Oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh
Another round of
bullets hits my skin
Well fire away
'cause today
I won't
let the shame sink in
We are burstin'
through the barricades
And reachin'
for the sun
(We are
warriors)
Yeah that's
what we've become
I won't let them
break me down to dust
I know that
there's a place for us
For
we are glorious
When
the sharpest words
Wanna
cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood
gonna drown 'em out
I am brave
I am bruised
I am who I'm meant
to be this is me
Look out
'cause here I come
And I'm marchin' on
to the beat I drum
I'm not scared
to be seen
I make no apologies
this is me
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
this is me
And I know that
I deserve your love
There's nothing
I'm not worthy of
When
the sharpest words
Wanna
cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood
gonna drown 'em out
This is brave
this is bruised
This is who I'm meant
to be this is me
Look out
'cause here I come
And I'm marchin' on
to the beat I drum
I'm not scared
to be seen
I make no apologies
this is me
Whenever the words
wanna cut me down
I'll send the flood
to drown 'em out
I'm gonna send a flood
gonna drown 'em out
Oh
this is me

If I should stay
I would only be in
your way
so I'll go
But I know
I'll think of you
every step of
the way and I
will always
love you
will always
love you
You
my darling you
Eum-- bitter sweet
memories
that is all
I'm taking with me
so good-bye
Please don't cry
with both know
I'm not what you need
and I will always
love you
will always
love you Eum---

I hope
life treats you kind
And I hope You
have all you dreamed
of
and I wish you joy
and happiness
but above all
I wish you love
and I will always
love you
will always love you
will always
love you
I will always
love you
I will always
love you
I will always
love you
you
darling I love you
woo always
I'll always
Love you
woo woo

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-

On a dark
desert highway
cool wind in my hair
warm smell of colitas
rising up
through the air
Up ahead
in the distance
I saw a
suimmering light
My head grew heavy and
my sight grew dim
I had to stop
for the night
These she stood
in the doorway
I heard the
mission bell
He said And
I was thinking
to myself
this could be heaven
and this could be hell
Then she lit up
a candle and she
showed me the way
There were voices down
the corridor
I thought
I heard them say
Welcome to the
Hotel California
Such a lovely place
(such a lovely place)
such a lovely face
plenty of room at the
Hotel California
Any time of year
(any time of year)
you can find it here
Her mind is
Tiffany twisted
She got
the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of
pretty pretty boys
that she calls friends
How they dance
in the courtyard
sweet summer sweet
Some dance to remember
some dance to forget
So I called up
the captain
Please bring me
my wine
He said
We haven't had that
spirit here since
nineteen sixty nine
and still those voices
are calling
from far away
wake you up
in the middle
of the night
just to here them say
Welcome to the
Hotel California
Such a lovely place
(such a lovely place)
such a lovely face
They living it up
at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
(what a nice surprise)
bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling
the pink champagne
on ice
and she said
We are all just
prisoners here
of our own device
And in the
master's chambers
they gathered
for the feast
They stab it with their
steely knives
but they just can't
kill the beast
Last thing I remember
I was running
for the door
I had to find
the passage back
to the place
I was before
Relax said
the night man
We are programmed
to receive
You can check out
any time
you like
but you can
never leave-

(Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah)
How can I say to you
I love somebody new
You were so good
to me always
And when I see
your eyes
I can't go on with lies
it breaks your heart
But I just can't
hide it oh - no-
I,
I've been away too long
Now I just can't go on
I've been away too
I,
I've been away too long
No I can't feel
so strong
I've been away too long
(Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah)
Don't look
that way to me
I hurts you so I see
But I just can't
go on with lie
I gave you all I had no
there is nothing left
I may be wrong
But I'd better go now
oh- no-
I,
I've been away too long
Now I just can't go on
I've been away too
I,
I've been away too long
No I can't feel
so strong
I've been away too long
La La La La La La
La La La La La La
I,
I've been away too long
(Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah).

Whenever I'm weary
from the battles
that rage in my head
you make sense of
madness when my sanity
hangs be a thread
I lose my way but
still you seem
to understand
now and forever
I will be your man
sometimes I just
hold you too caught
up in me to see
I'm holding a
fortune that heaven
has given to me
I'll try to show
you each and every
way I can now and
forever I will be
your man
now I can rest my
worries and always
be sure
that I won't be
alone any more
if I'd only known
you were there all the
time all this time-
until the day
the ocean doesn't
touch the sand
now and forever
I will be your man
now and forever
I will be
your man-

And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them
I don't know
I guess they understand
How lonely
life has been
But life began again
The day
you took my hand
And yes I- know
now lonely life can be
The shadow follow me
The night
won't see me free
But I don't- let
evening get me down
Now that you're
around me
And you love me so
Your thoughts
are just for how
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life
is brief and once
a page is read
All but life is dead
That is my belief
And yes I- know
now lonely life can be
The shadow follow me
The night
won't see me free
But I don't- let
evening
get me down
Now that you're
around too- -.

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-

For a while
there it was rough
But lately
I've been doin' better
Than the last
four cold
Decembers
I recall
And I see my family
every month
I found a girl
my parents love
She'll come and stay
the night
And I think
I might have it all
And I thank God
every day
For the girl
he sent my way
But I know
the things
He gives me
he can take away
And I hold you
every night
And that's a feelin'
I wanna get used to
But there's no man
as terrified
As the man who stands
to lose you
Oh I hope
I don't lose you
Uhm please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got
Oh woo
please don't take
I found my mind
I'm feelin' sane
It's been
a while
But I'm findin'
my faith
If everything's good
and it's great
Why do I sit and wait
'til it's gone
Oh I'll tell ya
I know I've got enough
I've got peace
and I've got love
But I'm up
at night
Thinkin' I just might
lose it all
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got oh woo
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
I need
These beautiful things
that I've got

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

She's faced
the hardest times
You could imagine
and many times
Her eyes fought back
the tears
And when
her youthful world
Was about to fail in
each time
Her slender shoulders
wore the weight
Of all her fears
and a sorrow
No one hears
still rings
In midnight silence
in her ears
Let her cry
for she's a lady
Let her dream
for she's a child
Let the rain
fall down upon her
She's a free and
gentle flower
Growing wild
and if by chance
I should hold her
let me hold her
For a time
but if allowed
Just one possession
I would pick her
From the garden
to be mine-

Mm be careful
how you touch her
For she'll awaken
and sleeps
The only freedom
that she knows
And when you look
into her eyes
You won't believe
the way she's always
Paying for a dept
she never owed
And a silent wind
still blows
That only she can hear
and so she goes
Let her cry
for she's a lady
Let her dream
for she's a child
Let the rain
fall down upon her
She's a free
and gentle flower
Growing
wild
Let her cry
for she's a lady
Let her dream
for she's a child
Let the rain
fall down upon her
She's a free
and gentle flower
Growing
wild
She's a flower
growing wild-

Time can never mend
the careless whispers
Of a good friend
to the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
there's no comfort
In the truth pain is
all you'll find
Should've known
better yeah-

Oh-- oh-
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand
and lead you
To the dance floor
as the music dies
Something
in your eyes
Calls to mind
the silver screen
And all it's said
good-bye
I'm never gonna
dance again
Guilty feet have
got no rhythm
Though it's easy
to pretend
I know your not a fool
should've known
Better than
to cheat a friend
And waste the chance
that I've been given
So I'm never
gonna dance again
The way I danced
with you-- oh-
Time can never mend
the careless whispers
Of a good friend
to the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
there's no comfort
In the truth pain is
all you'll find
I'm never gonna
dance again
Guilty feet have
got no rhythm
Though it's easy
to pretend
I know your not a fool
should've known
Better than
to cheat a friend
And waste the chance
that I've been given
So I'm never gonna
dance again
The way I danced
with you oh--
Never without
your love-

Tonight the music
seems so loud
I wish that we could
lose this crowd
Maybe it's better
this way
We'd hurt each other
with the things
We'd want to say
we could have been
So good together
we could have lived
This dance forever
but no one's gonna
Dance with me
please stay
And I'm never gonna
dance again
Guilty feet
have got no rhythm
Though it's easy
to pretend
I know your not a fool
should've known
Better than
to cheat a friend
And waste the chance
that I've been given
So I'm never gonna
dance again
The way I danced
with you-- ah--
(Now that you're gone)
now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone)
what I did's
So wrong so wrong
that you had to
Leave me
alone-

Where it began
I can't begin to knowin'
but then I know it's
growin' strong
Was in the spring
then spring became
the summer
Who'd a believed
you'd come along?
Hands touchin' hands
Reachin' out
touchin' me
touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
good times never
seemed so good
I've been inclined
to believe they
never would
Look at the night
and it don't
seem so lonely
we fill it up
with only two
and when I hurt
hurtin' runs off
my shoulders
How can I hurt when
holdin' you?
Warm touchin' warm
Reachin' out
touchin' me
touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
good times never
seemed so good
I've been
inclined to
believe they
never would-

Sweet Caroline
good times never
seemed so good
I've been inclined
to believe they
never would
Sweet Caroline
good times never
seemed so good
I've been inclined
to believe they
never would-

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.

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-

You know
I want you
It's not a secret
I try to hide
I know
you want me
So don't keep saying
our hands are tied
You claim
it's not in the cards
But fate is pulling
you miles away
And out of reach
from me
But you're here
in my heart
So who can stop me
if I decide
That you're
my destiny
What if we
rewrite the stars
Say you were
made to be mine
Nothing could
keep us apart
You'd be the one
I was meant to find
It's up to you
and it's up to me
No one can say
what we get to be
So why don't we
rewrite the stars
Maybe the world
could be ours tonight
You think
it's easy
You think I don't want
to run to you
But there are
mountains
And there are
doors
That we can't
walk through
I know
you're wondering why
Because
we're able to be
Just you and me
within these walls
But when we go
outside
You're gonna wake up
and see that
It was hopeless
after all
No one can
rewrite the stars
How can you say
you'll be mine
Everything
keeps us apart
And I'm not the one
you were meant to find
It's not up to you
it's not up to me
When everyone tells us
what we can be
How can we
rewrite the stars
Say that the world
can be ours tonight
All I want is to fly
with you
All I want is to fall
with you
So just give me
all of you
It feels impossible
it's not impossible
Is it impossible
say that it's possible
How do we
rewrite the stars
Say you were
made to be mine
Nothing can
keep us apart
'Cause you are the one
I was meant to find
It's up to you
and it's up to me
No one can say
what we get to be
Why don't we
rewrite the stars
Changing the world
to be ours
You know
I want you
It's not a secret
I try to hide
But I can't
have you
We're bound to break
and my hands are tied
