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

We were both young
when I first saw you
I close
my eyes and the
Flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony
in summer air
See the lights see the
party the ball gowns
See you make your way
through the crowd
And say hello
little did I know
That you were
Romeo
You were
throwing pebbles
And my daddy said
stay away from Juliet
And I was crying
on the staircase
Begging you please
don't go and I said
Romeo take me
somewhere
We can be alone
I'll be waiting
All that's left to
do is run
You'll be the
prince and
I'll be
the princess
It's a love story
baby just say yes
So I sneak out to
the garden to see you
We keep
quiet
Cause we're dead
if they knew
So close your eyes
escape this town
For a little while~
oh oh
Cause you were Romeo
I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said
stay away from Juliet
But you were
everything to me I was
Begging you please
don't go and I said
Romeo take me
somewhere
We can be alone
I'll be waiting
All there's left to
do is run
You'll be the
prince and
I'll be
the princess
It's a love story
baby just say yes
Romeo save me they try
to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult
but it's real
Don't
be afraid we'll
Make it out
of this mess
It's a love story baby
just say yes oh oh oh

I got tired
of waiting
Wondering if you were
ever coming around
My faith in you was
fading
When I met you on the
outskirts of town
And I said
Romeo save me
I've been feeling
so alone
I keep waiting for you
but you never come is
This
in my head
I don't know
what to think he
Knelt to the
ground and
Pulled out
a ring and said
Marry me Juliet you'll
never have to be alone
I love you and that's
all I really know
I talked
to your dad go
Pick out
a white dress
It's a love story
baby just say yes
Oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
Cause we were
both young
When I first
saw you

Take the ribbon
from your hair
Shake it loose and
let it fall
Laying soft upon
my skin
Like the shadows
on the wall
Come and lay down
by my side
Till the early
morning light
All I'm asking
is your time
Help me make it
through the night
I don't care
who's right or wrong
I don't try
to understand
Let the devil
take tomorrow
Lord tonight
I need a friend
Yesterday
is dead and gone
And tomorrow's
out of sight
And it's sad
to be alone
Help me make it
through the night.
I don't care
who's right or wrong
I don't try
to understand
Let the devil
take tomorrow
Lord tonight
I need a friend

I stand alone
in the darkness
The winter of my life
came- so fast
Memories go back
to childhood
To days I still recall
oh how happy I was--
Then there was
no sorrow
There was no pain
walking through
The- green-- fields
sunshine in my eyes
I'm still there
everywhere
I'm the dust
in the wind
I'm the star
in the northern sky--
I never stayed
anywhere
I'm the wind
in the trees
Would you wait
for me forever-

I'm still there
everywhere
I'm the dust
in the wind
I'm the star
in the northern sky--
I never stayed
anywhere
I'm the wind
in the trees
Would you wait
for me forever
Would you wait
for me forever
Will you wait
for me forever-

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-

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.

In the silence

You're
my painkiller
When my brain gets
bitter
You keep me close
you keep me close
I got
front row seats
For the Parkside
livin'
Feel
like the one
But I'm one
in a billion
Teenage
cynical
And
I don't really know
What's the point
of livin'
If my heart gets
broken
Drivin'
on the road
Waiting
for head-on collision
Springtime funeral
I miss you
But I'd rather
be alone
To keep me from
heartbreaks headaches
The doctor says
I'm diagnosed with
Xhit days
mistakes
But I'll be fine
but I'll be fine
'Cause
you're my painkiller
When my brain gets
bitter
You keep me
close
When I've been
miserable
And it takes
forever
To let my brain get
better
You keep me close
you keep me close
Window seats as the
plane starts leavin'
Miss
those streets
Where my knees were
bleedin'
Homesick veteran
I left my bed again
Oh lookin' for
heartbreaks headaches
The doctor says
I'm diagnosed with
Xhit days
mistakes
But I'll be fine
but I'll be fine
'Cause
you're my painkiller
When my brain gets
bitter
You keep me
close
When I've been
miserable
And it takes
forever
To let my brain get
better
You keep me close
you keep me close
Please
never leave me
'Cause I'm barely
holdin' on
You give me a reason
to keep on breathin'
'Cause
you're my painkiller
When my brain gets
bitter
You keep me
close
When I've been
miserable
And it takes
forever
To let my brain get
better
You keep me close
you keep me close
I know you hear me
yeah close

Words

How can I find
away to make you see
I love you Words
don't come easy
Words

This is the only way
for me to say
I love you Words

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

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

Words

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-

You touched my life
with the softness
in the night
My wish was
your command
until you ran
out of love
Tell myself I'm free
Got the chance
of living
Just for me
No need to hurry home
Now that
you're gone Knife
cuts like a knife
How will I ever heal
I'm so deeply
wounded Knife cuts
like a Knife
You cut away the heart
of my life
when I pretend
where's my to fool
my dearest friend
I wonder if they know
it's just a show
I'm on a stage
Day and night
I go through
my charade
But how can
I disguise
What's in my eyes Knife
cuts like a knife
How will I ever heal
I'm so deeply
wounded Knife
cuts like a knife
You cut away the heart
of my life
Now all woh---
woh-- woh woh
I try to try
Lock it up
The pain of you inside
The pain of watching
you Watching you
Knife cuts
like a knife
How will I ever heal
I'm so deeply wounded
Knife
cuts like a Knife
How will I ever heal
I'm so deeply wounded
You cut away
The heart of
my life.

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-

I fell in love with you
watching Casablanca
Back row at
the drive in show in
the flickering light
Popcorn and cokes
beneath the stars
became champagne
and caviar
Making love on a long
hot summer's night
I thought you fell in
love with me
watching Casablanca
Holding hands beneath
the paddle fans
in Rick's candle
lit cafe
Hiding in the shadows
from the spies
Moroccan moonlight
in your eyes
Making magic
at the movies
in my old chevrolet
Ooh a kiss is still
a kiss in Casablanca
But a kiss is not
a kiss without
your sigh
Please come back to me
in Casablanca
I love you
more and
more each day
as time goes by-

I guess there are many
broken hearts
in Casablanca
You know I've never
really been there so
I don't know
I guess our love story
will never be seen
on the big wide
silver screen
But it hurt just as bad
when I had to watch
Ooh a kiss is still
a kiss in Casablanca
But a kiss is not a
kiss without your sigh
Please come back to me
in Casablanca
I love you
more and more each day
as time goes by
Ooh a kiss is still a
kiss in Casablanca
But a kiss is not a
kiss without your sigh
please come back to me
in Casablanca
I love you
more and more each day
as time goes by
I love you
more and
more each day
as time goes by-

Oh when I get old
I'll be looking back
Wishing it could
last forever
Oh yesterday
seem so far away
Long dress no shoes
summer nights
Golden and blue
it feels just like
We're stuck
I side a picture frame
These memories
never fade away oh
Whisper to me
we got the world
Right at our feet
and I just wanna sit
Right here
and look at you
That's probably
all I ever do
Oh when I get old
I'll be looking back
Wishing it could
last forever
Oh yesterday
seem so far away
Where did it go
all of the nights
All the time
we spent together
Oh yesterday
seem so far away
Wake up
and smile
'Cause
you're beautiful
Those hazel eyes
when I get old
That's all I wanna
think about
I probably shouldn't
say this out loud
High hopes big dreams
and a little scared
Way too naive
thinking you always
Be mine and never
leave my side
At least
these memories
Never
say goodbye
Oh when I get old
I'll be looking back
Wishing it could
last forever
Oh yesterday
seem so far away
Where did it go
all of the nights
All the time
we spent together
Oh yesterday
seem so far away
Someday I'm running
out of time
I'll see your picture
in my mind
I'll keep our love
frozen in time
Oh when I get old
I'll be looking back
Wishing it could
last forever
Oh yesterday
seem so far away
Where did it go
all of the nights
All the time
we spent together
Oh yesterday
seem so far away

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
You are all
I long for
All I worship
and adore
In other words
please be true
In other words
I love you-

Fly me to the moon

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---

Till the end of time
Love me tender
love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For my darling
I love you
And I always will.
