New York City's
never looked so blue
My friends are
smoking blunts
In the bathroom
they say
That honest love
is a cage
That makes you
feel free
And all the girls at
this party are so cool
That's never been a
thing that I could do
But I can't help
but imagine
What you say
when you speak with me
You're a spark
in the dark
And my clothes all
caught aflame
You should feel
how I feel
When somebody says
your name
I'm a car
speeding down
The boulevard
without a brake
And I want you
more than
Any stupid song
could ever say
I'm a heart
made of wax
And I'm melting
in the sun
I'm a thread
on your shirt
That is coming undone
I feel right
I feel wrong
I feel totally insane
And I want you
more than
Any stupid song
could ever say
Walking through
the park
With my head high
past all
The college girls
and the drunk guys
And if there is
a god
He's the bond
that's between us two
Seven nights alone
and a skipped meal
I'm sleeping
in my dress
And my high heels
and I'm too shy to say
What I see
when I dream of you
You're a spark
in the dark
And my clothes
all caught aflame
You should feel
how I feel
When somebody says
your name
I'm a car
speeding down
The boulevard
without a brake
And I want you
more than
Any stupid song
could ever say
I'm a heart
made of wax
And I'm melting
in the sun
I'm a thread
on your shirt
That is coming undone
I feel right
I feel wrong
I feel totally insane
And I want you
more than
Any stupid song
could ever say
Every night
like the one before
Dream of you
from like 1 to 4
Positively and
truly sure
Nobody's wanted
somebody more
It's a thing that
I can't ignore
Tell your friends that
you're mine I'm yours
With a hand
on my heart I swore
Nobody's wanted
somebody more
It's a thing that
I can't ignore
Tell your friends that
you're mine I'm yours
With a hand
on my heart I swore

I'm going crazy
I'm going mad
I want you baby
so bad
You're a spark
in the dark
And my clothes all
caught aflame
You should feel
how I feel
When somebody says
your name
I'm a car
speeding down
The boulevard
without a brake
And I want you
more than
Any stupid song
could ever say
I'm a heart
made of wax
And I'm melting
in the sun
I'm a thread
on your shirt
That is coming undone
I feel right
I feel wrong
I feel totally insane
And I want you
more than
Any stupid song
could ever say

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

Where it began
I can't begin to knowin'
but then I know it's
growin' strong
Was in the spring
then spring became
the summer
Who'd a believed
you'd come along?
Hands touchin' hands
Reachin' out
touchin' me
touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
good times never
seemed so good
I've been inclined
to believe they
never would
Look at the night
and it don't
seem so lonely
we fill it up
with only two
and when I hurt
hurtin' runs off
my shoulders
How can I hurt when
holdin' you?
Warm touchin' warm
Reachin' out
touchin' me
touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
good times never
seemed so good
I've been
inclined to
believe they
never would-

Sweet Caroline
good times never
seemed so good
I've been inclined
to believe they
never would
Sweet Caroline

seemed so good
I've been inclined
to believe they
never would-

Fly me to the moon

Among the stars

Spring is like

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-

Yeah- you are my fire
the one desire
Believe when I say
I want it that way
But we are two worlds
apart can't reach to
Your heart

That I want it

Tell me why

But a heartache

Ain't nothin'

Cuz I want it
that way-

Raindrops keep
falling on my head
And just like the guy
whose feet are
Too big for his bed
nothing seems
To fit those
raindrops are falling
On my head
they keep falling
So I just did me
some talking
To the sun
and I said
I didn't like the way
he got things done
Sleeping on the job
those raindrops are
Falling on my head
they keep falling
But there's
one thing-- I know
The blues they send
to meet me
Won't defeat me
it won't be long
Till happiness steps
up to greet me
Raindrops keep
falling on my head
But that doesn't mean
my eyes will soon
Be turning red
crying's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna
stop the rain
By complaining
because I'm free--
Nothing's worrying me-
it won't be long
Till happiness steps
up to greet me
Raindrops keep
falling on my head
But that doesn't mean
my eyes will soon
Be turning red
crying's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna
stop the rain
By complaining
because I'm free--
Nothing's
worrying----------

Before the dawn
I hear you whisper
in Your sleep don't let
the morning take him
outside the birds
begin to call
as if to summon
up my leaving
It's been a long time
since I found someone
since I found someone
who would stay
I waited too long

it all the way-

It's been a long time

since I found someone
who would stay
I waited too long
now you leaving
oh please don't take
it all the way
Before the dawn
I hear you whisper
in your sleep don't let
the morning take me-

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
Hello is it me you're
looking for
I can see it
in your eyes
I can see it
in your smile
You're all
I've ever wanted
and my arms
are open wide
Cause you know just
what to say
and you know just
what to do
And I want to tell you
so much I love you
I long to see the
sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and
time again
how much I care
Sometimes I feel my
heart will overflow
Hello I've just got to
let you know
Cause I wonder
where you are
and I wonder
what you do
Are you somewhere
feeling lonely
or is someone
loving you
Tell me how to
win your heart for
I haven't got a clue
But let me start by
saying I love you

Hello is it me
you're looking for
Cause I wonder
where you are
and I wonder

Are you somewhere
feeling lonely
or is someone
loving you
Tell me how to
win your heart
for I haven't
got a clue
But let me start by
saying I love you

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-

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 -

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.

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-

Wise men say
only fools rush in
But I can't help
falling in
love with you
shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
if I can't help falling
in love with you
Like a river flows
surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Somethings are
meant to be
Take my hand
take my whole life too
For I can't help
falling in
love with you
Like a river flows
surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Somethings are
meant to be
Take my hand take
my whole life too
For I can't help
falling in
love with you
For I can't help
falling in
love with you.

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.
