So many nights
I'd sit by my window
waiting for someone
to sing me his song
So many dreams
I kept deep inside me
alone in the dark
but now
you've come along
and you
light up my life
you give me hope
to carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights
with song
Rollin' at sea
adrift on the waters
could it be fin'lly
I'm turning
for home fin'lly
a chance to say "hey!
I love you
never again
to be all alone
and you light up
my life
You give me hope
to carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights
with song
and you light up
my life
You give me hope
to carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights
with song
It can't be wrong
when it feels so
right cause you
you light up my
life.

You believe
that I've changed
your life forever
And you're never gonna
find another
some-body
like me
And you're wish
you had more than
just a life time
To give back all
I've given you and
that's what
you believe
But I owe you
the sun light
in the morning
And the nights of
all this loving
that time can't
take away
And I owe you
more than life
now more than ever
I know that it's
the sweetest debt
I'll ever
have to pay
I'm ama-zed
when you say it's me
you live for
You know that
when I'm holding you
You're right
where you belong
And my Love
I can't help but smile
with wonder
When you tell me all
I've Done for you
'Cause I've known
all along
But I owe you
the sunlight
in the morming
And the nights of all
this loving
that time can't
take away
And I owe you
more than life
now more than ever
I know that it's
the sweetest debt
I'll ever have to pay
'Cause I owe you
the sunlingt
in the morming
And the nights of all
this loving
that time can't
take away
I owe you
more than life
now more than ever
know that it's
the sweetest debt
I'll ever have to pay--

When I am down
and oh my soul
So weary
when troubles come
And my heart
burdened be
Then I am still
and wait here
In the silence
until you come
And sit a while
with me
You raise me up
so I can stand
On mountains
you raise me up
To walk on
stormy seas
I am strong when I am
on your shoulders
You raise me up
to more than I can be

You raise me up
so I can stand
On mountains
you raise me up
To walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am
On your shoulders
you raise me up
To more than I can be
you raise me up
So I can stand
on mountains
You raise me up
to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am
on your shoulders
You raise me up
to more than I can be
You raise me up
so I can stand
On mountains
you raise me up
To walk on
stormy seas
I am strong when I am
on your shoulders
You raise me up
to more than I can be
You raise me up
to more than I can be

Heartbeats fast
colors and promises
How to be brave
how can I love
When I'm afraid
to fall
But watching you
stand alone
All
of my doubt
Suddenly goes away
somehow
One step
closer
I have died every day
waiting for you
Darling
don't be afraid
I have loved you
for a thousand years
I'll love you
for a thousand more
Time stands still
beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not
Let anything
take away
What's standing
in front of me
Every
breath
Every hour has
come to this
One step
closer
I have died every day
waiting for you
Darling
don't be afraid
I have loved you
for a thousand years
I'll love you
for a thousand more
And all along
I believed
I would
find you
Time has brought
your heart to me
I have loved you
for a thousand years
I'll love you
for a thousand more

One step
closer
One step
closer
I have died every day
waiting for you
Darling
don't be afraid
I have loved you
for a thousand years
I'll love you
for a thousand more
And all along
I believed
I would
find you
Time has brought
your heart to me
I have loved you
for a thousand years
I'll love you
for a thousand more

From the get-go I knew
this was hard to hold
Like a crash
the whole thing
Spun
out of control
Oh on a wire
we were dancin'
Two kids
no consequences
Pull the trigger
without thinkin'
There's only one way
down this road
It was
like a time-bomb
Set
into motion
We knew that we were
destined to explode
And if I had
to pull
You
out of the wreckage
You know I'm never
gonna let you go
We're
like a time-bomb
Gonna lose it
let's defuse it
Baby we're
like a time-bomb
But I need it
wouldn't have it
Any other
way
Well there's no way
out of this
So let's
stay in
Every storms
that comes
Also comes
to an end
Oh resistance is
useless
Just two kids stupid
and fearless
Like a bullet
shootin' a lovesick
There's only one way
down this road
It was
like a time-bomb
Set
into motion
We knew that we were
destined to explode
And if I had
to pull
You
out of the wreckage
You know I'm never
gonna let you go
We're
like a time-bomb
Gonna lose it
let's defuse it
Baby we're
like a time-bomb
But I need it
wouldn't have it
Any other
way

Got my heart
in your hands
Like a time-bomb
tickin'
It goes off
we start again
When it breaks
we fix it
Got your heart
in my hands
Like a time-bomb
tickin'
We should know better
but we won't let go
It was
like a time-bomb
Set
into motion
We knew that we were
destined to explode
And if I had
to pull
You
out of the wreckage
You know
I'm never
Gonna let you
let me go
We're
like a time-bomb
Gonna lose it
let's defuse it
Baby we're
like a time-bomb
But I need it
wouldn't have it
Any other
way

Sometimes it's hard
to be a woman
Giving all your love
to just one man
You'll have bad times
and he'll have
good times
Doin' things that
you don't understand
But if you love
him you'll
forgive him
Even though he's hard
to understand
and if you love him
Oh be proud of him
Cause after
all he's just a man
Stand by your man
Give him
two arms to cling to
And something
warm to come to
when nights
are cold and lonely
Stand by your man
And tell the world
you love him
Keep giving
all the love you can
Stand by your man -
Stand by your man
And tell the world
you love him
Keep giving
all the love you can
Stand by
your man -

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

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

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

There is a house
in New Orleans
They call the
rising sun
And it's been the ruin
of many a poor boy
And Go I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my
new blue jeans
My father was
a gamblin' man
Down in
New Orleans
Now the only thing
a gambler needs
Is a suitcase
and a trunk
And the only time
he'll be satisfied
Is when he's all
a drunk

Oh mother
tell your children
Not to do
what I have done
spend your lives
in sin and misery
In the house
of the rising sun
Well I've got one
foot on the platform
The other
foot on the train
I'm going back to
New Orleans
To wear that ball
and chain
Well there is
a house in New Orleans
They call
the rising sun
And It's been the ruin
of many a poor boy
And God I know
I'm one

Imagine there's
no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
above us only sky
Imagine all the people
living for today
Aha- - -
Imagine there's
no countries
It isn't hard to do
nothing to kill
or die for
and no religion too-
Imagine all the people
living life in peace

You may say- - -
I'm a dreamer
but I'm not
the only one
I hope someday- - -

Imagine no possesion
I wonder if you can
No need for greed
nor hunger
a brotherhood of man-
Imagine all the people
sharing all the world
yuhuh- - -
You may say- - -
I'm a dreamer
but I'm not
the only one
I hope someday- - -
you'll join us- -
and the world- - -
will live as one.

Fly me to the moon
and let me
Play among the stars
let me see what spring
Is like on
Jupiter and Mars
In other words
hold my hand
In other words
darling kiss me

Fill my heart with
song and let me sing
Forever more

For all I worship
and adore
In other words

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

Full of conflict

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.

An empty street
an empty house
A hole inside my heart
I'm all alone
The rooms are
getting smaller
I wonder how
I wonder why
I wonder where they
are the days we had
The songs we sang
together oh yeah
And oh my love
I'm holding on forever
Reaching for a love
that seems so far
So I say
a little prayer
And hope my dreams
will take me there
Where the skies
are blue
To see you once again
my love
Over seas from
coast to coast
To find the place
I love the most
Where the fields
are green
To see you once again
my love
I try to read
I go to work
I'm laughing
with my friends
But I can't stop
to keep myself
From thinking
oh no
I wonder how
I wonder why
I wonder where they
are the days we had
The songs we sang
together oh yeah
And oh my love
I'm holding on forever
Reaching for a love
that seems so far
So I say
a little prayer
And hope my dreams
will take me there
Where the skies
are blue
To see you once again
my love
Over seas from
coast to coast
To find the place
I love the most
Where the fields
are green
To see you once again
to hold you in my arms
To promise you
my love
To tell you
from the heart
You're all
I'm thinking of
I'm reaching
for a love that
Seems so far so so
I say a little prayer
And hope my dreams
will take me there
Where the skies
are blue
To see you once again
my love
Over seas from
coast to coast
To find the place
I love the most
Where the fields
are green
To see you once again
say a little prayer
Dreams will

To see you
once again my love-

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-

Uhm uhm
uhm uh uhm uhm
Some people live
for the fortune
Some people live
just for the fame
Some people live
for the power yeah
Some people live
just to play the game
Some people think that
the physical things
Define
what's within
And I been
there before
But that
life's a bore
So full
of the superficial
Some people
want it all
But I don't want
nothing at all
If it ain't
you baby
If I ain't got
you baby
Some people want
diamond rings
Some just want
everything
But everything
means nothing
If I ain't got
you yeah
Some people search
for a fountain
That promises
forever young
Some people need
three dozen roses
And that's
the only way
To prove you love him
hand me the world
On a silver platter
and what
Good would it be
with no one to share
With no one who truly
cares for me
Some people
want it all
But I don't want
nothing at all
If it ain't
you baby
If I ain't got
you baby
Some people want
diamond rings
Some just want
everything
But everything
means nothing
If I ain't got
you you you
Some people
want it all
But I don't want
nothing at all
If it ain't
you baby
If I ain't got
you baby
Some people want
diamond rings
Some just want
everything
But everything
means nothing
If I ain't got
you yeah-
If I ain't got you
with me baby uh
Woo see nothing
in this
Whole wide world

If I ain't got you
with me baby-

It's late
in the evening
she's wondering
what clothes to wear
She puts on
her makeup
and brushes her
long blonde hair
And then she asks me
"Do I look all right?"
And I say
"Yes you look
wonderful tonight."
We go to a party
and everyone
turns to see
this beautiful lady
is walking
around with me
And then she asks me
"Do you feel
all right?"
And I say "Yes I feel
wonderful tonight"
I feel wonderful
because I see the love
light in your eyes
Then the wonder
of it all
is that you just
don't realize
how much I love you.

it's time to go
home now
and I've got an
aching head
So I give her
the car keys
and she helps me to bed
And then I tell her
as I turn out the light
I say
"My darling you are
wonderful tonight"
Oh my darling you are
wonderful tonight-

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
