When you're weary
feelin' small
When tears are in
your eyes
I'll dry them all -
I'm on your side
oh when times -
get rough - -
And friends just can't
be found
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will lay me down.

When you're down
and out
when you're on
the street
When evening falls
so hard
I will comfort you -
I'll take your part
oh when darkness
comes - -
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over
Troubled
water I will
lay me down.

Sail on silver girl
sail on by
Your time has come
to shine
All your dreams are
on their way
See how they shine
oh if you need a
friend
I'm sailing right
behind
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will ease
your mind - - -.

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

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-

I don't like
to sleep alone
Stay with me
don't go
Talk with me
for just a while
So much of you
to get to know
Reaching out
touching you
Leaving all the
worries
All behind
loving you
The way I do
my mouth on yours
And yours on mine
marry me
Let me live with you
nothing's wrong
When love is right
like a man say
In his song
help me make it
Through the night
loneliness
Can get you down
when you get
To thinking
no one cares
Lean on me
and I'll lean on you
Together we will
see it through
Oh I don't like
to sleep alone
Sad to think
some folks do
No I don't like
to sleep alone
No one does do you
I don't like
To sleep alone
no one does do you-

Deep in my heart
there's a fire
Burning heart
deep in my heart
There's desire
for a start
I'm dying in emotion
it's my world
In fantasy
I'm living in my
Living in my dreams
you're my heart
You're my soul
I keep it shining
Everywhere I go
you're my heart
You're my soul
I'll be holding you
Forever
stay with you together
You're my heart
you're my soul
Yeah a feeling that
our love will grow
You're my heart
you're my soul
That's the only thing
I really know-

Let's close the door
and believe
My burning heart
feeling alright
Come on

I'll keep
the candles burning
Let your body
melt in mine
I'm living in my
living in my dreams

(the show goes on)

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-

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
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
I feel
so free
When you're with me
baby
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back

Sally called
when she got the word
She said "I suppose
you've heard
but Alice"
Well I rushed to
the window and I
liked outside
Well I could hardly
believe my eyes
as a big limousine
rolled up
into Alice's drive
oh I don't know
why she's leaving or
where she's gonna go
I guess she's got
her reasons
but I just don't
wanna know
cause for twenty
four years
I've been
living next door
to Alice
Twenty four
years just waiting
for a chance
to tell her how
I feel and maybe
get a second glance
Now I gotta get used
to not living next
door to Alice
We grow up together
two kids in park
Caved our initials
deep in the park
mean Alice
Now she walks
through the door
with her head held high
Just for a moment
I caught her eyes
as a big limousine
pulled slowly
out of Alice's drive
Oh I don't know
why she's leaving or
where she's gonna go
I guess she's
got her reasons
but I just don't
wanna know
cause for twenty
four years
I've been
living next door
to Alice
Twenty four
years just waiting
for a chance
to tell her how
I feel and maybe
get a
second glance
Now I gotta
get used to not
living next door
to Alice
Then sally called back
and asked how I felt
She said
"I know how to help
get over Alice"
She said
"Now Alice is gone
but I'm still here
You know I've been
waiting twenty
four years"
And the big
limousine disappeared
I don't know
why she's leaving or
where she's gonna go
I guess she's got
her reasons
but I just don't
wanna know
cause for twenty
four years
I've been
living next door
to Alice
Twenty four years
just waiting
for a chance
to tell her how
I feel and maybe
get a
second glance
But I'll never
get used to not
living next door
to Alice
No I'll never get
used to not
living next door
to Alice.

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.

Summer has
come and passed
The innocent
can never last
Wake me up
when September ends
Like my father's
come to pass
Seven years
has gone so fast
Wake me up
when September ends
Here comes
the rain again
Falling
from the stars
Drenched
in my pain again
Becoming who we are
as my memory rests
But never forgets
what I lost
Wake me up
when September ends

Summer has
come and passed
The innocent
can never last
Wake me up
when September ends
Ring out the
bells again
Like we did
when spring began
Wake me up
when September ends
Here comes
the rain again
Falling
from the stars
Drenched
in my pain again
Becoming who we are
as my memory rest
But never forgets
what I lost
Wake me up
when September ends

Summer has
come and passed
The innocent
can never last
Wake me up
when September ends
Like my father's
come to pass
Twenty years
has gone so fast
Wake me up
when September ends
Wake me up
when September ends
Wake me up
when September ends

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-

Every breath you take
every move you make
Every bond you break
every step you take
I'll be watching you
every single day
Every word you say
every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you
Oh can't you see
you belong to me
How my poor
heart aches
With every step
you take
Every move you make
every vow you break
Every smile you fake
every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
since you've gone
I've been lost
without a trace
I dream at night
I can only
See your face
I look around
But it's you
I can't replace
I feel
so cold
And I long for
your embrace
I keep crying baby
baby please-

Oh can't you see
you belong to me
How my poor
heart aches
With every step
you take
Every move you make
every vow you break
Every smile you fake
every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
every move you make
Every step you take
I'll be watching you-
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
Ooh-
I'll be watching you
I'll be
watching you-

I believe
the children are
our future
Teach them well and
let them lead the way
Show them all
the beauty
they possess inside
Give them a
sence of pride
to make it easier
Let the children's
laughter remind us
how we used to be
Everybody's
searching for a hero
people need someone
to look up to
I never found anyone
who full filled
my needs
A lonely place to be
and so I learned
to depend on me
I decided long ago
never to walk
in anyone's shadow
If I fail
if I succeed at least
I live as I believe
No matter
what they take from me
They can't take away
My dignity
Because the greatest
love of all
is happening to me
I've found
the greatest
love of all
inside of me
The greatest
love of all is
easy to achieve
Learning to love
Yourself
it is the Greatest
love of all
I believe
the children
are our future
Teach them well and
let them lead the way
Show them
all the beauty
they possess inside
Give them a sence
of pride to make
it easier
Let the children's
laughter remind us
how we used to be
I decided long ago
never to walk
in anyone's shadow
If I fail
if I succeed
at least I live
as I believe
No matter
what they take from me
They can't take away
My dignity
Because the greatest
love of all
is happening to me
I've found
the greatest
love of all
inside of me
The greatest
love of all
is easy to achieve
Learning to love
Yourself it is
the Greatest
love of all
And if by chance
that special place
That you've been
dreaming of
leads you to
a lonely place
find
Your strength
in love ~

Georgia wrap me up
in all your
I want you in my arms
oh let me hold you
I'll never
let you go again
Like I did
oh I used to say
I would never
fall in love again
Until
I found her
I said
I would never fall
Unless
it's you I fall into
I was lost
within the darkness
But then I found her
I found you
Georgia pulled me in
I asked to
Love her once again
you fell I caught you
I'll never
let you go again
Like I did
oh I used to say
I would never
fall in love again
Until
I found her
I said
I would never fall
Unless
it's you I fall into
I was lost
within the darkness
But then I found her
I found you
I would never
fall in love again
Until
I found her
I said
I would never fall
Unless
it's you I fall into
I was lost
within the darkness
But then I found her
I found you

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.

I think I'm drowning
asphyxiated
I wanna break
the spell
That you've created
you're something
Beautiful
a contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction
You will be
the death of me
Yeah you will be
the death of me
Bury it I won't
let you bury it
I won't let you
smother it
I won't let you
murder it
And our time is
running out
And our time is
running out
You can't push it
underground
You can't stop it
screaming out

I wanted freedom
bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
but I'm addicted
Now that you know
I'm trapped
Since ovulation
you'd never dream of
Breaking
this fixation
You will squeeze
the life out of me
Bury it I won't
let you bury it
I won't let you
smother it
I won't let you
murder it
And our time is
running out
But our time is
running out
You can't push it
underground
You can't stop it
screaming out
How did it
come to this
Ooh ooh ooh
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah ooh ooh ooh
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah ooh ooh ooh
yeah yeah ooh yeah

Yeah you will suck
the life out of me
Bury it I won't
let you bury it
I won't let you
smother it
I won't let you
murder it
And our time is
running out
And our time is
running out
You can't push it
underground
You can't stop it
screaming out
How did it
come to this
Ooh ooh ooh
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah ooh ooh ooh
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah ooh ooh ooh
yeah yeah ooh yeah

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-

Another head
hangs lowly
Child's slowly taken
and the violence
Cause such silence
who are we mistaken
But you see
it's not me
It's not my family
in your head
In your head
they are fighting
With their tanks
and their bombs
And their bombs
and their guns
In your head
in your head
They are crying
in your head
In your head
zombie zombie zombie
What's in your head
in your head
Zombie zombie
zombie-

Another mother's
breaking heart is
Taken over
when the violence
Cause silence
we must be mistaken
It's the same
old theme
Since nineteen sixteen
in your head
In your head
they're still fighting
With their tanks
and their bombs
And their bombs
and their guns
In your head
in your head
They are dying
in your head
In your head
zombie zombie zombie
But in your head
in your head
Zombie zombie
zombie-
