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 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-

Someone told me
long ago
There's a calm
before the storm
I know it's been
comin' for some time
When it's over
so they say
It'll rain
a sunny day
I know shinin' down
like water
I want to know
have you ever seen
The rain
I want to know
Have you ever seen
the rain
Comin' down
on a day
Yesterday and
days before
Sun is cold
and rain is hard
I know been that way
for all my time
'Til forever
on it goes
Through the circle
fast and slow
I know it can't stop
I wonder
I want to know
have you ever seen
The rain
I want to know
Have you ever seen
the rain
Comin' down
on a day yeah-
I want to know
have you ever seen
The rain
I want to know
Have you ever seen
the rain
Comin' down
on a day-

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-

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
that only two can share
All I ask you is
let me be there
All I ask you is
let me be there.

Oh my heart
won't believe
that you have left me
I keep telling myself
that it's true
I can get over anything
you want my love
but I can't get myself
over you
Don't forget to
remember me
and the love that
used to be
I still remember you
I love you in my heart
lies a memory
To tell the stars above
Don't forget to
remember me my love
On my wall lies
a photograph
of you girl- -
though I try to forget
you somehow
You're the mirror
of my soul so take me
out of my whole let me
try to go on living
right now
Don't forget to
remember me
and the love that
used to be
I still remember you
I love you in my heart
lies a memory
To tell the stars above
Don't forget to
remember me
my love.

I'm so glad you made
time to see me
How's life tell me
how's your family
I haven't seen them
in a while
You've been good
busier than ever
We small talk
work and the weather
Your guard is up
and I know why
Because the last time
you saw me
Is still burned in the
back of your mind
You gave me
roses
And I left them
there to die
So this is me
swallowing my pride
Standing in
front of you saying
I'm sorry for
that night
And I go back to
December all the time
It turns out
freedom ain't
Nothing but
missing you
Wishing I'd realized
what I had
When you were mine
I go back to December
Turn around
and make it alright
I go back to December
all the time

These days I haven't
been sleeping
Staying up playing
back myself leaving
When your birthday
passed
And I didn't
call
Then I think about
summer
All the
beautiful times
I watched you
laughing
From the
passenger side and
Realized I loved you
in the fall
And then the cold came
the dark days
When fear crept
into my mind
You gave me
all your love
And all I gave you was
goodbye
So this is me
swallowing my pride
Standing in
front of you saying
I'm sorry for
that night
And I go back to
December all the time
It turns out
freedom ain't
Nothing but
missing you
Wishing I'd realized
what I had
When you were mine
I go back to December
Turn around
and change my own mind
I go back to December
all the time
I miss your tan skin
your sweet smile
So good to me
so right
And how you held me
in your arms
That September
night
The first time
you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is
wishful thinking
Probably
mindless dreaming
But if we
loved again
I swear
I'd love you right
I'd go back in time
and change it
But I
can't
So if the chain is on
your door I understand
But this is me
swallowing my pride
Standing in
front of you saying
I'm sorry for
that night
And I go back to
December
It turns out
freedom ain't
Nothing but
missing you
Wishing I'd realized
what I had
When you were mine
I go back to December
Turn around
and make it alright
I go back to
December
Turn around
and change my own mind
I go back to
December all the time
All the
time

Baby can't you see
I'm calling
A guy like you
should wear a warning
It's dangerous
I'm falling
There's no escape
I can't wait
I need a hit
baby give me it
You're dangerous
I'm loving it
Too high
can't come down
Losing my head
spinning
Round and round
do you feel me now
With a taste of
your lips
I'm on a ride
you're toxic
I'm slipping under
with a taste of
A poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know
that you're toxic
And I love
what you do
But you know
that you're toxic-

It's getting late
to give you up
I took a sip
from my devil's cup
Slowly
it's taking over me
Too high
can't come down
It's in the air
and it's all around
Can you
feel me now
With a taste of
your lips
I'm on a ride
you're toxic
I'm slipping under
with a taste of
A poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know
that you're toxic
And I love
what you do
But you know
that you're toxic
Don't you know
that you're toxic-

Taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic
I'm slipping under
With a taste of
a poison paradise
I'm addicted
to you
Don't you know
that you're toxic
With a taste of
your lips
I'm on a ride
you're toxic
I'm slipping under
with a taste of
A poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know
that you're toxic
Intoxicate me now
with your loving now
I think
I'm ready now
(I think
I'm ready now)
Intoxicate me now
with your loving now
I think
I'm ready now-

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

Some people want

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
don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you
with me baby-

Here comes a wave
meant to wash me away
A tide that is
taking me under
Swallowing sand left
with nothing to say
My voice drowned out
in the thunder
But
I won't cry
And I won't start
to crumble
Whenever
they try
To shut me
or cut me down
I won't
be silenced
You can't keep me
quiet
Won't tremble
when you try it
All I know is
I won't go speechless
'Cause
I'll breathe
When they try
to suffocate me
Don't you
underestimate me
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
Written in stone
every rule every word
Centuries old
and unbending
Stay
in your place
Better seen
and not heard
Well now that story is
ending
'Cause I I cannot
start to crumble
So come on
and try
Try to shut me
and cut me down
I won't
be silenced
You can't keep me
quiet
Won't tremble
when you try it
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless
Let the storm in
I cannot be broken
No I won't live
unspoken
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
Try to lock me
in this cage
I won't just
lay me down and die
I will take these
broken wings
And watch me burn
across the sky
Hear the echo
saying
I won't
be silenced
Though you wanna
see me tremble
When
you try it
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless
'Cause
I'll breathe
When they try
to suffocate me
Don't you
underestimate me
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless

Then I
I am feeling
A little

And so I wake in the
morning and I step
Outside and I
take a deep breath
And I get

I've been alone
with you inside my mind
And in my dreams
I've kissed your lips
a thousand times
I sometimes
see you pass
outside my door

and you know just
what to do
And I want to tell you

And tell you time and

Are you somewhere

Strollin' along

Up where they walk
Up where they run
Up where they stay
all day in the sun
Wanderin' free wish

that world
What would

Betcha on land

don't reprimand
their
daughters
Bright
young women
sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand
And ready to know
what the people know
Ask'em my questions
and get some answers
What's a
fire and why
does it what's
the word burn
When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love
love to explore
that shore up above
Out at the
sea wish
I could be
part of that world
