Such a feelings
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 seem
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 loves
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
there's a pleasing
sence 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
I'm on the
top of the world
looking
down on creation
and the only
explanation I can find
is the love
that l've found ever
since you're been
around your loves
put me at the
top of the world
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 loves
put me at the
top of the
world-

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

I should've known
I'd leave alone
Just goes to show
that the blood
You bleed is
just the blood you owe
We were a pair
but I saw you there
Too much to bear
you were my life
But life is far away
from fair
Was I stupid
to love you
Was I reckless
to help
Was it obvious
to everybody else
That I'd fallen
for a lie
You were never
on my side
Fool me once
fool me twice
Are you death
or paradise
Now you'll never
see me cry
There's just
no time to die
I let it
burn
You're no longer
my concern
Faces
from my past return
Another lesson yet
to learn
That I'd fallen
for a lie
You were never
on my side
Fool me once
fool me twice
Are you death
or paradise
Now you'll never
see me cry
There's just
no time to die
No time to die
no time to die
Fool me once
fool me twice
Are you death
or paradise
Now you'll never
see me cry
There's just
no time to die

Here comes a wave
meant to wash me away
A tide that is
taking me under
Swallowing sand left
with nothing to say
My voice drowned out
in the thunder
But
I won't cry
And I won't start
to crumble
Whenever
they try
To shut me
or cut me down
I won't
be silenced
You can't keep me
quiet
Won't tremble
when you try it
All I know is
I won't go speechless
'Cause
I'll breathe
When they try
to suffocate me
Don't you
underestimate me
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
Written in stone
every rule every word
Centuries old
and unbending
Stay
in your place
Better seen
and not heard
Well now that story is
ending
'Cause I I cannot
start to crumble
So come on
and try
Try to shut me
and cut me down
I won't
be silenced
You can't keep me
quiet
Won't tremble
when you try it
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless
Let the storm in
I cannot be broken
No I won't live
unspoken
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
Try to lock me
in this cage
I won't just
lay me down and die
I will take these
broken wings
And watch me burn
across the sky
Hear the echo
saying
I won't
be silenced
Though you wanna
see me tremble
When
you try it
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless
'Cause
I'll breathe
When they try
to suffocate me
Don't you
underestimate me
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless

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.

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

Ocean apart
day after day
And I slowly
go insane
I hear your voice
on the line
But it doesn't
stop the pain
If I see you next
to never
How can we say
forever
wherever you go
whatever you do
I will be right
here waiting for you
whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here
waiting for you
I took for granted
all the times
that I though would
last somehow
I hear the laughter
I taste the tears
But I can't get near
you now
Oh can't you see
it baby
You've got me going
crazy
Wherever you go
whatever you do
I will be right here
waiting for you
whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here
waiting for you
I wonder how
we can survive
This romance
But in the end
if I'll with you
I'll take the chance-

Oh can't you see
it baby
You've got me going
crazy
Wherever you go
whatever you do
I will be right here
waiting for you
whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here
waiting for you
waiting
for you-

I was so high
I did not recognize
The fire burning
in her eyes
The chaos that
controlled my mind
Whispered goodbye
and she got on a plane
Never to return again
but always in my heart
Oh this love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore
Wooh oh oh wooh oh oh
wooh oh oh
I tried my best
to feed her appetite
Keep her coming
every night
So hard to keep
her satisfied oh
Kept playing love like
it was just a game
Pretending
to feel the same
Then turn around
and leave again but oh
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore
Wooh oh oh wooh oh oh
wooh oh oh
I'll fix these
broken things
Repair your
broken wings
And make sure
everything's alright
My pressure
on your hips
Sinking my fingertips
into every inch of you
'Cause I know that's
what you want me to do
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And my heart
is breaking
In front of me
she said goodbye
Too many times
before
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore-

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

I am sailing
I am sailing
home again
'cross the sea
I am sailing
stormy waters
To be near you
to be free
I am flying
I am flying
like a bird
'cross the sky
I am flying
passing high clouds
To be with you
to be free
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Through the dark night
far away
I am dying
forever trying
To be with you
Who can say
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Through the dark night
far away
I am dying
Forever trying
To be with you
who can say-

We are sailing
We are sailing
Home again
'cross the sea
We are sailing
Stormy waters
To be near you
to be free
Oh Lord
to be near you
To be free
Oh Lord
to be near you
To be free
Oh Lord
to be near you
to be free
Oh Lord-

Today is gonna
be the day that
They're gonna throw it
back to you
By now you should've
somehow realized
What you gotta do
I don't believe that
Anybody feels the way
I do about you now
Backbeat the word is
on the street
That the fire
in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard
it all before
But you never really
had a doubt
I don't believe that
anybody feels the way
I do about you now
and all the roads
We have to walk
are winding
And all the lights
that lead us there
Are blinding
there are many things
That I would like
to say to you
But I don't know how
because maybe
You're gonna be
the one that saves me
And after all
you're my wonderwall
Today was gonna
be the day but
They'll never throw it
back to you
By now you should've
somehow realized
What you're not to do
I don't believe that
Anybody feels the way
I do about you now
And all the roads
that lead you there
Are winding
and all the lights
That lights the way
are blinding
There are many things
that I would like
To say to you
but I don't know how
I said maybe
you're gonna be
The one who saves me
and after all
You're my wonderwall
I said maybe
You're gonna be
the one that saves me
And after all
you're my wonderwall
I said maybe
you're gonna be
The one that saves me
you're gonna be
The one that saves me
you're gonna
Be the one
that saves me-

I memorize the
note you sent
Go all the places
that we went
I seem to search
the whole day through
For anything
that's part of you
I kept a ribbon
from your hair
A breath of perfume
lingers there
It helps to cheer me
when I'm blue
Anything
that's part of you
Oh how it hurts
to miss you so
When I know
you don't love me
Anymore
to go on needing you
Knowing you
don't need me
No reason left
for me to live
What can I take
what can I give
When I'd give
all of someone new
For anything
that's part of you-

Oh how it hurts
to miss you so
When I know
you don't love me
Anymore
to go on needing you
Knowing you
don't need me
No reason left
for me to live
What can I take
what can I give
When I'd give
all of someone new
For anything
that's part of you-

Do you have the time
to listen to me whine
About nothing
and everything
All at- once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it
sometimes I give
Myself the- creeps
sometimes my mind
Plays ticks on- me
It all keeps adding up
I think
I'm cracking up-
Am I just paranoid
am I just stoned
I went to a shrink
to analyze my dreams
She says
it's lack of sex
That's bringing me-
down
I went to a whore
he said my life's
A bore- so quit
my whining cause
It's bringing her-
down
Sometimes I give
myself the- creeps
Sometimes my mind
plays ticks on-me
It all keeps
adding up
I think
I'm cracking up-
And I just paranoid
am I just stoned-

Grasping to control
so I better hold- on-

Sometimes I give
myself the- creeps
Sometimes my mind
plays ticks on- me
It all keeps
adding up
I think
I'm cracking up-
Am I just paranoid
am I just stoned-

Well take me
back down
Where cool water
flows yeah
Let me remember
things I love
Stoppin' at the log
where catfish bite
Walkin' along
the river road
At night
barefoot girls
Dancin' in
the moonlight
I can hear
the bullfrog
Callin' me
wonder if my rope's
Still hangin'
to the tree
Love to kick
my feet way down
The shallow water
shoefly dragonfly
Get back your mother
pick up a flat rock
Skip it across
Green River well-

Up at cody's camp
I spent my days
With flat car
riders and
Cross-tie walkers
old cody junior
Took me over
said you're gonna
Find the world
is smouldrin
And if you get lost
come on home
To Green River
well-

Wherever you go
wherever you may
wander in your life
surely you know
I always want to be
there holding your hand
and standing by
to catch you
when you fall
seeing you thru
in ev'rything you do
Let me be there
in your morning
Let me be there
in your night
Let me change
whatever's wrong
and make it right
Let me take you through
that wonder land
that only two can share
All I ask you is
let me be
there.

Watching you grow
and going thru
the changes
in your life
that's how I know
I'll always want to be
there whenever
you feel you need
a friend to lean on
here I am
Whenever you call
you know I'll be there
Let me be there
in your morning
Let me be there
in your night
Let me change
whatever's wrong
and make it right
Let me take you through
that wonder land
that only two can share
All I ask you is
let me be there
Let me be there
in your morning
Let me be there
in your night
Let me change
whatever's wrong
and make it right
Let me take you through
that wonder land
that only two can share
All I ask you is
let me be there
All I ask you is
let me be there.

Please release me
let me go
For I don't love you
any more
To waste our lives
would be a sin
please release me and
let me love again
I have found a
new love dear
And I will always
want her near
Her lips are warm
while yours are cold
please release me
my darling let me go
please release me
let me go
For I don't love you
any more
To waste our lives
would be a sin
please release me and
let me love again
Please release me
can't you see
You'd be a fool to
clind to me
To live a lie
would bring us pain
so release me and
let me love again
let me go
let me go.

Oh my love
my darling
I've hungered for
your touch along
Lonely time
And Time goes by
So slowly
and time can do
So much Are you
still mine
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love
to me
Lonely rivers flow
to the sea to the sea
To the open arms
to the sea yeah
Lonely rivers sigh
wait for me
Wait for me
I'll be coming home
Wait for me
Oh my love my darling
I've hungered hungered
for your touch
A long
lonely time
And Time goes
by so slowly
And time can do
so much
Are you still mine
I need your love
I I need
your love
God speed your
love to me

Pretend you're happy
when you're blue
It isn't very hard
to do
And you'll find
happiness
Without an end
whenever you pretend
Remember anyone
can dream
And nothing's bad
as it may seem
The little things
you haven't got
Could be a lot
if you pretend
You'll find a love
you can share
One you can call
all your own
Just close your eyes
she'll be there
You'll never
be alone
And if you sing
this melody
You'll be pretending
just like me
The world is mine
it can be yours
My friend so
why don't you pretend-

And if you sing
this melody
You'll be pretending
just like me
The world is mine
it can be yours
My friend so
why don't you pretend-

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-

Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven
would you be the same
if I saw you in heaven
I must be strong
and I'll carry on
cause I know
I don't belong
here in heaven-

would you hold my hand
if I saw you in heaven
would you help me stand
if I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way
through night and day
cause I know
I just can't stay
here in heaven-

Time can bring
you down
time can bend
your knees
time can break
your heart
have you beg and plead
beg and plead-

beyond the door
there's peace I'm sure
and I know
there'll be no more
tears in heaven-

would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven
would you be the same
if I saw you in heaven
I must be strong
and I'll carry on
cause I know
I don't belong
here in heaven
cause I know
I don't belong
here in heaven-
