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

Put your sweet lips
a little closer
To the phone
let's pretend
That we're together
all alone
I'll tell the man
to turn
The jukebox
way down low
And you can tell
your friend
There with you
he'll have to go
Whisper to me
tell me
Do you love me true
or is he holding you
The way I do?
though love is blind
Make up your mind
I've got to know
Should I hang up
or will you
Tell him
he'll have to go
You can't say
the words
I want to hear
while you're
With another man
do you want me
Answer yes or no
darling
I will
understand
Put your sweet lips
a little closer
To the phone
let's pretend
That we're together
all alone
I'll tell the man
to turn
The jukebox
way down low
And you can tell
your friend
There with you
he'll have to go

To help me cope
with anything
If you see the wonder
of a fairy tale
You can take
the future
Even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in
everything I see
I believe in angels
when I know
The time is
right for me
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream

To help me
through reality
And my destination

The while

The darkness

I have a dream-

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 can show you
the world shining
Shimmering splendid
tell me princess
Now when did you last
let your heart decide
I can open your eyes
take you wonder
By wonder
over sideways
And wonder
on a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
a new fantastic
Point of view
no one to tell us
No or where to go
or say
We're only dreaming
a whole new world
A dazzling place
I never knew
But I from way up here
it's crystal clear
That now I'm in
a whole new world
With you
unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
soaring tumbling
Free wheeling
through an endless
Diamond sky
a whole new world
Don't you dare
close your eyes
A hundred thousand
things to see
I'm like
a shooting star
I'm come so far
I can't go back
To where I used to be
a whole new world
With new horizons
to pursue
I'll chase them
anywhere
There's time to spare
let me share
This whole new world
with you ooh--

A whole new world
a whole new world
A new fantastic
point of view
No one to tell us
no or where to go
A whole new world
with new horizons
To pursue
I'll chase them
Anywhere
there's time to spare
Anywhere--
there's time to spare
Let me share
this whole new world
With you- you--
a whole new world
A whole new world
that's where we'll be
Where we'll be
for you and me-

Lying beside you
hear in the dark
Feeling your heartbeat
with mine softly
You whisper
you're so sincere
How could our love
be so blind
We sailed on together
we drifted a part
And here
you are by my side-
So now I come to you
with open arms-
Nothing to hide
believe what I say--
So here I am
with open arms-
Hoping you see-
what you love means
To me-
open arms-

Living without you-
living alone-
This empty house
seems so cold
Wanting to hold you-
wanting you near
How much I wanted--
you home-
But now
that you've come back
Turned night into day-
I need you to stay--
So now I come to you
with open arms-
Nothing to hide
believe what I say--
So here I am
with open arms-
Hoping you see-
what your love means
To me-
open arms-

I'm not in love
so don't forget it
It's just
a silly phase
I'm going through
and just because
I call you up
don't get me wrong
Don't think
you've got it made
I'm not in love no no
it's because
I like to see you
but then again
That doesn't mean
you mean
That much to me
so if I call you
Don't make a fuss
don't tell
Your friends
about the two of us
I'm not in love
no no it's because-

I keep your picture
upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain
that's lying there
So don't you ask me
to give it back
I know you know
it doesn't mean
That much to me
I'm not in love
No no it's because ooh
you'll wait
A long time for me
ooh you'll wait
A long time
ooh you'll wait
A long time for me
ooh you'll wait
A long time
I'm not in love
So don't forget it
it's just
A silly phase
I'm going through
And just because
I call you up
Don't get me wrong
don't think
You've got it made
I'm not in love
I'm not
in love-

Met you by surprise
I didn't realize
That my life would
change forever
Saw you standing there
I didn't know I cared
There was
something special
In the air
dreams are my reality
The only kind of
real fantasy
Illusions are
a common thing
I try to live
in dreams
It seems as
if it's meant to be
Dreams are
my reality
A different kind
of reality
I dream of loving
in the night
And loving
seems alright
Although
it's only fantasy-

If you do exist
honey don't resist
Show me a new way
of loving
Tell me that it's true
show me what to do
I feel
something special
About you
dreams are my reality
The only kind
of reality
Maybe my foolishness
has past
And maybe now at last
I'll see
How a real thing
can be
Dreams are
my reality
A wonderous world
where I like to be
I dream of holding you
all night
And holding you
seems right
Perhaps that's
my reality-

Met you by surprise
I didn't realize
That my life would
change forever
Tell me that it's true
feelings that are cue
I feel
something special
About you
dreams are my reality
A wonderous world
where I like to be
Illusions are
a common thing
I try to live
in dreams
Although
it's only fantasy
Dreams are
my reality
I like to dream of you
close to me
I dream of loving
in the night
And loving you
seems right
Perhaps that's
my reality-

By the rivers
of Babylon
There we sat down
yeah we wept
When we remembered
Zion
By the rivers
of Babylon
There we sat down
yeah we wept
When we remembered
Zion
When the wicked
carried us away
In captivity required
from us a song
Now how shall we sing
the lord's song
In a strange land
when the wicked
Carried us away
in captivity
Required from us
a song
Now how shall we sing
the lord's song
In a strange
land-

Let the words
of our mouth
And the meditations
of our heart
Be acceptable
in thy sight
Here tonight-
let the words
Of our mouth
and the meditations
Of our hearts
be acceptable
In thy sight
here tonight-
By the rivers
of Babylon
There we sat down
yeah we wept
When we remembered
Zion
By the rivers
of Babylon
There we sat down
yeah we wept
When we remembered
Zion
By the rivers
of Babylon
There we sat down
yeah we wept
When we remembered
Zion
By the rivers
of Babylon-

We speak of the devil
he's no friend of mine
To turn from him is
what we've got in mind
Just a liar
and a thief
The word
tell us so
We like to let him
know where he can go
To hell
with the devil
To hell
with the devil
When things
are going wrong
You know who to blame
he will always
Live up
to his name
He's never been
the answer
There's a better way
we are here
To rock you
and to say
To hell
with the devil
To hell
with the devil-

To hell
with the devil
To hell
with the devil
To hell
with the devil
To hell
with the devil
To hell
with the devil
To hell with the devil
devil devil-

Tryna feel
something real
To cry again
they say the artist
Needs tears
to write again
'Cause all of
my favorite stories
End in some
kind of catastrophe
But I don't need
someone to save me
'Cause this music and
I will never die
It's such
a fxxxxx situation
Petal
in the pavement
Just as long as she
keeps getting it right
Heartbreak won't bite
here in paradise
This is such a
convenient conflation
This record
in rotation
Long as she gets
the ovation each night
Heartbreak won't bite
this is paradise
I hear them all say
ooh ooh ooh ooh
They say
ooh ooh ooh ooh
Tell me
who's to blame
Is it the people or
myself? yep
But this time feels so
very different
This is not a cry
for help
A couple million
for my thoughts
I've got plenty
but I am not
The victim bxxxx
I'm practically
Drowning
in my blessings
It's bye
this time for real
Tired of painting
endless pictures of
A life
that isn't mine
Trying different boys
on for size
If this is my curse
I'll let it ride ride
'Cause all of
my favorite stories
End in some
kind of catastrophe
But I don't need
someone to save me
'Cause this music and
I will never die
It's such
a fxxxxx situation
Petal
in the pavement
Just as long as she
keeps getting it right
Heartbreak won't bite
here in paradise
This is such a
convenient conflation
This record
in rotation
Long as she gets
the ovation each night
Heartbreak won't bite
this is paradise
I hear them all say
ooh ooh ooh ooh
They say
ooh ooh ooh ooh
I hear them all say
ooh ooh ooh
They say
ooh ooh ooh ooh

Here I stand
all alone
Have my mind
turned to stone
Have my heart
filled up with ice
To avoid
it's breakin' twice
Thanks to you
my dear old friend
But you can't help
this is the end
Of a tale
that wasn't right
I won't have no sleep
tonight
In my heart
in my soul
I really hate to pay
this toll
Should be strong
young and bold
But the only thing
I feel is pain
It's alright
we'll stay friends
Trustin'
in my confidence
And let's say
it's just alright
You won't sleep alone
tonight
In my heart
in my soul
I really hate to pay
this toll
Should be strong
young and bold
But the only thing
I feel is pain-

With my heart
with my soul
Some guys cry
you bought and sold
They've been strong
young and bold
And they say play
this song again
In my heart
in my soul
I really hate to pay
this toll
Should be strong
young and bold
But the only thing
I feel is pain-

Although loneliness
has always been
A friend of mine
I'm leaving my life
In your hands
people say I'm crazy
And that I am blind
risking it all
In a glance
how you got me
Blind is
still a mystery
I can't get you
out of my head
Don't care
what is written
In your history
as long as
You're here with me
I don't care
Who you are
where you're from
What you did
as long as you love me
Who you are
where you're from
Don't care
what you did
As long as you love me
every little thing
That you have said
and done
Feels like it's deep
within me um--
Doesn't really matter
if you're on the run
It seems like
we're meant to be
I don't care
who you are
Where you're from
what you did
As long as you love me
who you are
Where you're from
don't care
What you did
as long as you love me
Yeah--
as long as you love me
As long as you love me
I've tried to hide it
So that no one knows
but I guess it shows
When you look
in to my eyes
What you did and where
you're coming from
As long as you love me
baby
I don't care
who you are
Where you're from
what you did
As long as you love me
who you are
Where you're from
don't care
What you did
as long as you love me
Who you are
where you're from
What you did
as long as you love me
Who you are
where you're from
As long as you love me
who you are
As long as
you love me
What you did
I don't care
As long as
you love me-

He was a boi
she was a girl
Can I make it
anymore aobvious
He was a punk
she did ballet
What more can I say
he wanted her
She'd never tell
secretly she wanted
Him as well
an of her friends
Stuck up nose
they had a problem
With his baggy clothes
he was a sk8er boi
She said
see you later boi
He wasn't good enough
for her
She had a pretty face
but her head was up
In space
she needs do
Come back
down to earth
But he's now
she sits at home
Feeding the baby
shes all alone
She turns on T V
guess who she sees
Sk8er boi rockin up
M T V
She calls up
her friends
They already know
and never get tickets
To see his show
she tags along stands
In the croud looks up
at the man
That she turned down
he was a sk8er boi
She said see
you later boi
He wasn't good
enough for her
Now he's a super star
slavin on his guitar
Does you pretty face
see what he's worth
He was a sk8er boi
she said
See you later boi
he wasn't good enough
For her now
he's a super star
Slavin on his guitar
does you pretty face
See what
he's worth-

Sorry girl
but you missed
Out well tough luck
that boi's mine
Now we are more than
just good friends
This is how
the story ends
To bad that
you couldn't see
See that man
that boi could be
There is more than
meets the eye
I see the saw
that is inside
He's just a boi
and I'm just a girl
Can I make it
anymore obvious
We are inlove
haven't you heard
How we rock
each others world
I'm with the
sk8er boi
I said see you
later boi
I'll be back stadge
after the show
I'll be at out studio
singing the song
We wrote about
the girl
You used to
know
I'm with the
sk8er boi
I said see you
later boi
I'll be back stadge
after the show
I'll be at out studio
singing the song
We wrote about
the girl
You used to
know-
