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-

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

The falling leaves
drift by the window
The autumn leaves
of red and gold
I see your lips
the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands
I- - used to hold
Since- you went away
the days grow long
And soon I'll hear- -
old winter's song
But- I miss you
most of all my darling
When autumn leaves
start to fall.

Since- you went away
the days grow long
And soon I'll hear- -
old winter's song
But- I miss you
most of all my darling
When autumn leaves
start to fall.

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

All I ask you is

All I ask you is
let me be there.

(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

I've been away too long
Now I just can't go on
I've been away too

La La La La La La

I could stay awake
just to hear
You breathing
watch you smile
While you are sleeping
while you're far away
And dreaming
I could spend my life
In this
sweet surrender
I could stay
lost in this moment
Forever
well every moment
Spent with you
is a moment I treasure
I don't wanna close
my eyes
I don't wanna
fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you
babe
And I don't wanna
miss a thing
'Cause even
when I dream of you
The sweetest dream
would never do
I'd still miss you
babe
And I don't wanna
miss a thing
Lying close to you
feeling
Your heart beating
and I'm wondering
What you're dreaming
wondering if it's me
You're seeing
then I kiss your eyes
And thank God
we're together
And I just wanna stay
with you
In this moment forever
forever and ever
I don't wanna close
my eyes
I don't wanna
fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you
babe
And I don't wanna
miss a thing
'Cause even
when I dream of you
The sweetest dream
would never do
I'd still miss you
babe
And I don't wanna
miss a thing
And I don't wanna
miss one smile
And I don't wanna
miss one kiss
Well I just wanna
be with you
Right here with you
just like this
I just wanna
hold you close
Feel your heart
so close to mine
And just stay here
in this moment
For all the rest
of time
Yeah yeah yeah

I don't wanna
close my eyes
I don't wanna
fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you
babe
And I don't wanna
miss a thing
'Cause even
when I dream of you
The sweetest dream
would never do
I'd still miss you

And I don't wanna
miss you babe

fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you

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

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-

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-

I wanna follow
where she goes
I think about her
and she knows it
I wanna let her
take control
'Cause every time that
she gets close yeah
She pulls me
in enough
To keep me guessing
mmm
And maybe
I should stop
And start confessing
confessing yeah
Oh I've been shaking
I love it
When you go
crazy
You take all
my inhibitions
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back
You take me
places
That tear up
my reputation
Manipulate
my decisions
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back
There's nothing
holdin' me back
There's nothing
holdin' me back
She says that
she's never afraid
Just picture
everybody naked
She really
doesn't like to wait
Not really
into hesitation
Pulls me
in enough
To keep me guessing
whoa
And maybe
I should stop
And start confessing
confessing yeah
Oh I've been shaking
I love it
When you go
crazy
You take all
my inhibitions
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back
You take me
places
That tear up
my reputation
Manipulate
my decisions
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back
There's nothing
holdin' me back

'Cause
if we lost our minds
And we took it
way too far
I know
we'd be alright
Know
we would be alright
If you were
by my side
And we stumbled
in the dark
I know
we'd be alright
I know
we would be alright
'Cause
if we lost our minds
And we took it
way too far
I know
we'd be alright
I know
we would be alright
If you were
by my side
And we stumbled
in the dark
I know we'd be alright
we would be alright
Oh I've been shaking

When you go
crazy
You take all
my inhibitions
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back
You take me
places

my reputation
Manipulate
my decisions
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back
There's nothing
holdin' me back
I feel
so free
When you're with me
baby
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back

First things first
I'ma say
All the words
inside my head
I'm fired up
and tired of
The way that things
have been oh woo
The way that things
have been oh woo
Second things second
don't you tell me
What you think
that I could be
I'm the one
at the sail
I'm the master
of my sea oh woo
The master
of my sea oh woo
I was broken
from a young age
Taking my sulking
to the masses
Writing my poems
for the few
That look at me
took to me
Shook to me
feeling me
Singing from heartache
from the pain
Taking my message
from the veins
Speaking my lesson
from the brain
Seeing the beauty
through the
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Pain
you break me down
You build me up
believer believer
Pain
oh let the bullets fly
Oh let them
rain
My life my love
my drive it came from
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Third things third
send a prayer
To the ones
up above
All the hate
that you've heard has
Turned your spirit
to a dove oh woo
Your spirit up above
oh woo
I was choking
in the crowd
Building my rain up
in the cloud
Falling like ashes
to the ground
Hoping my feelings
they would drown
But they never did
ever lived
Ebbing
and flowing
Inhibited limited
till it broke open
And rained down
and rained down like
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Pain
you break me down
You build me up
believer believer
Pain
oh let the bullets fly
Oh let them
rain
My life my love
my drive it came from
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Last things last
by the grace
Of the fire
and the flames
You're the face
of the future
The blood in my veins
oh woo
The blood in my veins
oh woo
But they never did
ever lived
Ebbing
and flowing
Inhibited limited
till it broke open
And rained down
and rained down like
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Pain
you break me down
You build me up
believer believer
Pain
oh let the bullets fly
Oh let them
rain
My life my love
my drive it came from
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer

I'm at a payphone
trying to call home
All of my change
I spent on you
Where have the
times gone
Baby it's
all wrong
Where are the plans
we made for two yeah
I I know it's
hard to remember
The people
we used to be
It's even
harder to picture
That you're not
here next to me
You say it's too late
to make it
But is it
too late to try
And in our time
that you wasted
All of our bridges
burned down
I've wasted
my nights
You turned
out the lights
Now
I'm paralyzed
Still stuck
in that time
Where we
called it love
But even the
sunsets in paradise
I'm at a payphone
trying to call home
All of my change
I spent on you
Where have the
times gone
Baby it's
all wrong
Where are the plans
we made for two
If happy ever
after did exist
I would still be
holding you like this
All those fairy tales
are full of xhit
One more xucking
love song I'll be sick
You turned your
back on tomorrow
'Cause you forgot
yesterday
I gave you
my love to borrow
But you just
gave it away
You can't expect me
to be fine
I don't expect
you to care
I know
I've said it before
But all of our bridges
burned down
I've wasted
my nights
You turned
out the lights
Now
I'm paralyzed
Still stuck
in that time
Where we
called it love
But even the
sunsets in paradise
I'm at a payphone
trying to call home
All of my change
I spent on you
Where have the
times gone
Baby it's
all wrong
Where are the plans
we made for two
If happy ever
after did exist
I would still be
holding you like this
And all those fairy
tales are full of xhit
One more xucking
love song I'll be sick
Now
I'm at a payphone
Man xuck that
xhit
I'll be out spending
all this money
While you're sitting
round wondering
Why it
wasn't you
Who came up
from nothing
Made it
from the bottom
Now when you see me
I'm stunning
And all of
my cars start
With a
push of a button
Telling me
the chances
I blew up or
whatever you call it
Switch the
number to my phone
So you never
could call it
Don't need my name
on my show
You can tell it
I'm ballin'
Swish what a shame
could have got picked
Had a really
good game
But you missed
your last shot
So you talk about
who you see at the top
Or what you
could have saw
But sad to say
it's over for
Phantom pulled up
valet open doors
Wiz like
go away
Got what you was
looking for
Now it's me
who they want
So you can go
and take that little
Piece of xhit
with you
I'm at a payphone
trying to call home
All of my change
I spent on you
Where have the
times gone
Baby it's
all wrong
Where are the plans
we made for two
If happy ever
after did exist
I would still be
holding you like this
All those fairy tales
are full of xhit
One more xucking
love song I'll be sick
Now

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-

I--- don't want
a lot for-- Christmas
There is just
one thing I- need--
I don't care about
presents
Under neath-
the christmas tree-
I just want- you
for my own
More than
you- can ever know-
Make my wish
come true-------
All I-- want
for-- Christmas--
Is-------- you---
I don't want
A lot for Christmas
there is just
One thing I need-
I don't care about
Presents under neath
the Christmas tree-
I don't need
to hang my stocking-
There upon
the fireplace--
Santa claus won't
make me happy-
With a toy
on Christmas day-
I just want you
for my own-
More than you
could ever know-
Make my wish
come true--
All I want
for Christmas
Is you----
you-- baby
I don't ask for much
this Christmas
I won't ever wish
for snow-
I'm just gonna
keep on waiting-
Under neath the
mistletoe--
I won't make a list
and sen it
To the north pole
for saint nick-
I won't ever
stay awake
To hear those magic
reindeer click-
'Cause I just want you
here tonight-
Holding on
to me so tight-
What more
can I do-- baby
All I want
for Christmas
Is you------ you--
baby oh--
All the lights are
shining so brightly
Everywhere--
and the sound
Of children's
laughter
Fills the air--
and everyone
Is singing
I hear those sleigh
Bells ringing
santa won't you bring
Me the one
I really need
Won't you please bring
my baby to me-
Oh I don't want
a lot for Christmas
This is all
I'm asking for--
I just want to see
my baby
Standing right outside
my door
Oh-- I just want him
for my own
More than
you could ever know
Make my wish
come true-- oh baby
All I-- want
for Christmas-------
Is----- you-- baby
all I want
For Christmas
is you-- baby
All I want
for Christmas
Is you-- baby
all I want
For Christmas
is you-- baby
All I want
for Christmas
Is you-- baby
all I want
For Christmas
is you-- baby-

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---

Wise men say
only fools rush in
But I can't help
falling in
love with you
shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
if I can't help falling
in love with you
Like a river flows
surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Somethings are
meant to be
Take my hand
take my whole life too
For I can't help
falling in
love with you
Like a river flows
surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Somethings are
meant to be
Take my hand take
my whole life too
For I can't help
falling in
love with you
For I can't help
falling in
love with you.

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
sure of
I'll never ask for
more than your love
Nothing's gonna change
my love for you
You oughta know by now

You'll only change
my whole life through

The old home town
looks the same
As I step down
from the train
And there to meet me
is my Mama and Papa
And down the road
I look and
There runs mary
Hair of gold and
Lips like cherries
It's good to touch
The green green
grass of home
Yes they'll all come
to meet me
Arms a reaching
smiling sweetly
It's good to touch
the green green
grass of home
The old house
is still standing
Though the paint
is cracked and dry
and there's that
Old oak tree that
I used to play on
Down the lane I walk
with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and
lips like cherries
It's good to touch the
green green
grass of home
Then I awake
And look around me
at four grey walls
That surround me
and I realize
Yes that I was only
dreamming
For there's a guard
and there's a sad
Old padre Arm in arm
we'll walk
At daybreak again
I'll touch the
Green green
grass of home
Yes they'll all come
to see me
In the shade of
that old oak tree
As they lay me
beneath the
Green green
grass of home-
