Boys Of Summer
Nobody on the road Nobody on the beach I feel it in the air The summer's out of reach Empty lake, empty streets The sun goes down alone I'm drivin' by your house Though I know you're not at home
But I can see you Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone
I never will forget those nights I wonder if it was a dream Remember how you made me crazy? Remember how I made you scream Now I don't understand what happened to our love But babe, I'm gonna get you back I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
I can see you Your brown skin shinin' in the sun I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone
Out on the road today, I saw a deadhead sticker on a Cadillac A little voice inside my head said, Don't look back. You can never look back. I thought I knew what love was - what did I know? Those days are gone forever I should just let them go but-
I can see you Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone
I can see you Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone
Leaving On A Jet Plane
I'm ... I'm ...
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go I'm standin' here outside your door I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn Already I'm so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane I don't know when I'll be back again Oh, babe, I hate to go
I'm ...
There's so many times I've let you down So many times I've played around I'll tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I think of you Every song I sing, I sing for you When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane I don't know when I'll be back again Oh, babe, I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you One more time, oh, let me kiss you And close your eyes and I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come When I won't have to leave alone About the times that I won't have to say ...
Oh, kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane I don't know when I'll be back again Oh, babe, I hate to go
And I'm leaving on a jet plane I don't know when I'll be back again Oh, babe, I hate to go
But I'm leaving on a jet plane (Ah ah ah ah) Leaving on a jet plane (Ah ah ah ah) Leaving on a jet plane (Ah ah ah ah) Leaving on a jet plane (Ah ah ah ah) Leaving on a jet plane (Ah ah ah ah) Leaving on a jet plane (Ah ah ah ah) Leaving on a jet plane (Ah ah ah ah) Leaving on a jet plane (Ah ah ah ah) (Leaving) On a jet plane
Feels Like Home
Somethin' in your eyes, makes me wanna lose myself Makes me wanna lose myself, in your arms There's somethin' in your voice, makes my heart beat fast Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life
If you knew how lonely my life has been And how long I've been so alone And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along And change my life the way you've done
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
A window breaks, down a long, dark street And a siren wails in the night But I'm alright, 'cause I have you here with me And I can almost see, through the dark there is light
Well, if you knew how much this moment means to me And how long I've waited for your touch And if you knew how happy you are making me I never thought that I'd love anyone so much
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me It feels like I'm all the way the back where I come from It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
In My Life
Oohh ...
There are places I remember All my life Though some have changed Some forever Not for better Some have gone And some remain All these places have their moments With lovers and friends I still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers There is no one Compares with you And these memories lose their meaning When I think of love As something new Though I know I'll never those affection For people and things That went before I know I'll often stop and think about them In my life I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection For people and things That went before I know I'll often stop and think about them In my life I love you more
Oohh ...
In my life I love you more

Ken's Song
I hadn't seen the boy in fifteen years He had lines that said he cried a rainbow of tears He left one day before his late night drives He said everybody's gotta make a sacrifice So he replaced the old girl for a boat named Jen He thought if anyone could love her Well he was the man
He said my only fear is growing old alone I've gotta get a lover for this telephone It doesn't matter if my number's gone when I'm young But I don't want to grow old alone
Till the day Jen sunk she gave him love so true She was appraised at fifty-one grand or two It didn't matter that she took every dime that he had He had to get off the water and live by the land
He said my only fear is growing old alone I've gotta get a lover for this telephone It doesn't matter if my number's gone when I'm young But I don't want to grow old alone
When I spoke about Jen a tear flowed from his eye It was the first and last time I saw a grown man cry He said believe it or not I'm not scared to die But I don't want to grow old alone
He said my only fear is growing old alone I've gotta get a lover for this telephone It doesn't matter if my number's gone when I'm young But I don't want to grow old alone
Love Is All
I don't know What you're leaving behind I'm not so sure that I really want to find out You don't necessarily Have plenty of time You can say it now For the rest of your life
Love is all you need to live Then love is all I've got to give And I give it all
I don't know What was wrong with my mind I walked around like I had a force inside and on my heart Now I feel like I got plenty of time Cause I'm safe from the pain For the rest of my life
Love is all you need to live Then love is all I've got to give And I give it all
You can say that for the rest of your life
Love is all you need to live Then love is all i've got to give And I give it all
You said it
Love is all you need to live Then love is all I've got to give And I give it all
Always A Woman
She can kill with a smile She can wound with her eyes And she can ruin your faith with her casual lies And she only reveals what she wants you to see She hides like a child But she's always a woman like me
She can lead you to love She can take you or leave you And she can ask for the truth But she'll never believe you And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free She steals like a thief But she's always a woman to me
Oh, she takes care of herself She can wait if she wants She's ahead of her time Oh, and she never gives out And she never gives in She just changes her mind
She will promise you more Than the Garden of Eden Then she'll carelessly cut you And laugh while you're bleeding But she'll bring out the best And the worst you can be Blame it all on yourself 'Cause she's always a woman to me
Oh, she takes care of herself She can wait if she wants She's ahead of her time Oh, and she never gives out And she never gives in She just changes her mind
She is frequently kind And she's suddenly cruel She can do as she pleases She's nobody's fool But she can't be convicted She's earned her degree The most she will do Is throw shadows at you But she's always a woman to me
Mmm, mmm, mmm mmm mmm, mmm
Blow Up The Outside World
Nothing seems to kill me, no matter how hard I try Nothing is closing my eyes Nothing can beat me down for your pain or delight And nothing seems to break me No matter how hard I fall nothing can break me at all Not one for giving up though not invincible I know
I've given everything I need I'd give you everything I own I'd give in if it could at least be ours alone I've given everything I could To blow it to hell and gone Burrow down in and Blow up the outside world
Someone tried to tell me something Don't let the world bring you down Nothing will do me in before I do myself So save it for your own and the ones you can help
Want to make it understood Wanting though I never would Trying though I know it's wrong Blowing it to hell and gone Wishing though I never could Blow up the outside world
Wild Horses
Childhood living is easy to do The things you wanted I bought them for you Graceless lady you know who I am You know I can't let you slide through my hands
Wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild horses couldn't drag me away
I watched you suffer a dull aching pain And now you've decided to show me the same No sweeping exits or off stage lines Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind
Wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild horses couldn't drag me away
I know I've dreamed you, it's a sin, it's a lie And I have my freedom but I don't have much time Faith has been broken tears must be cried So let's do some living after we die
Wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses we'll ride them someday
Danny Boy
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying 'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow 'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
And if you come, when all the flowers are dying And I am dead, as dead I well may be You'll come and find the place where I am lying And kneel and say an Ave there for me
And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas May your days be light From now on our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas Make the Yule-tide gay From now on our troubles will be far away
Here we are like the olden days Happy golden days of yore Faithful friends who are dear to us Gather near to us once more
Through the years, we all will be together If the Fates allow Hang a shining star up on the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
I Can't Make You Love Me
Turn down the lights, turn down the bed Turn down these voices inside my head Lay down with me, tell me no lies Just hold me close, don't patronize (don't patronize me)
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't You can't make your heart feel something it won't Here in the dark, in these lonely hours I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power But you won't, no, you won't Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
I'll close my eyes, then I won't see The love you don't feel when you're holding me Morning will come and I'll do what's right Just give me till then to give up this fight (and I will give up this fight)
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't You can't make your heart feel something it won't Here in the dark, in these lonely hours I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power But you won't, no, you won't Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
Imagine
Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us And above us only sky Imagine all the people Livin' for today, ah Imagine there's no country It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion, too Imagine all the people Sharin' all the world, you
You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can And no need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Livin' life in peace, you
You may say I'm a dreamer But I know I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one
Love's Recovery
During the time of which I speak It was hard to turn the other cheek To the blows of insecurity Feeding the cancer of my intellect The blood of love soon neglected Lay dying in the strength of its impurity Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together They've all gone and left each other In search of fairer weather And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast To the slim chance of love's recovery
There I am in younger days, star gazing Painting picture perfect maps Of how my life and love would be Not counting the unmarked paths of misdirection My compass, faith in love's perfection I missed ten million miles of road i should have seen Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together Left each other one by one on the road to fairer weather And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast To the slim chance of love's recovery
Rain soaked and voice choked Like silent screaming in a dream I search for our absolute distinction Not content to bow and bend To the whims of culture that swoop like vultures Eating us away, eating us away Eating us away to our extinction
Oh how i wish i were a trinity So if i lost a part of me I'd still have two of the same to live But nobody gets a lifetime rehearsal As specks of dust we're universal To let this love survive Would be the greatest gift that we could give Tell all the friends who think they're so together That these are ghosts and mirages All these thoughts of fairer weather Though it's storming out I feel safe within the arms Of love's discovery
O Canada
O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all thy sons command With glowing hearts we see thee rise The True North strong and free!
From far and wide O Canada, we stand on guard for thee
God keep our land glorious and free! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee O Canada, we stand on guard for thee
O Holy Night
O Holy night, the stars are brightly shining It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth Long lay the world in sin and error pining Till He appeared and the soul felt His worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices For yonder beams a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees Oh, hear the angel voices O night divine O night when Christ was born O night divine O night, O night divine
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming Here came the wise men from the Orient land
The King of Kings lay in lowly manger In all our trials born to be our friend He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger
Behold your King Before the lowly bend Behold your King Before Him bend
Truly he taught us to love one another His law is love and His gospel is peace Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus rise we Let all within us praise His holy name Christ is the Lord then ever, ever praise we His pow'r and glory ever more proclaim His pow'r and glory ever more proclaim
Old Man
Old man, look at my life I'm a lot like you were Old man, look at my life Twenty four and there's so much more I live alone in a paradise That makes me think of two
Love lost, such a cost Well, give me things that don't get lost Like a coin that won't get tossed Rolling home to you
Old man, take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you And I need someone to love me the whole day through Well, ah, ah, one look in my eyes, you can tell that's true
Lullabies, look in your eyes You run around the same old town It doesn't mean that much to me To mean that much to you
'Cause I've been first and last And look at how the time goes past But I'm all alone at last Rolling home to you
Old man, take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you And I need someone to love me the whole day through And now one look in my eyes, you can tell that's true, ooh ooh
Old man
Old man, look at my life I'm a lot like you were
San Diego Serenade
Never saw the morning till I stayed up all night Never saw the sunshine till I turned out the light Never saw my home town till I stayed away too long I never heard the melody till I needed the song
Never saw the white line till I was leavin' you behind Never knew I needed you till I was caught up in a bind And I never spoke I love you till I cursed you in vain Never felt my heart strings until I nearly went insane
Never saw the East coast until I moved to the West I never saw the moonlight till it shone off your breast And I never saw your heart till someone tried to steal it away Never saw your tears till they rolled down your face
I never saw the morning till I stayed up all night Never saw the sunshine till you turned out the light Never saw my home town till I stayed away too long I never heard the melody till I needed the song
Stewart's Coat
Hold me, love, I can't sleep again Or will I have to kiss your lips Oh, I want to lay in this day, in love I remember walking in the rain Rain is falling on my eyes Oh, I want to live through that again, oh
Outside only it gets darker And I was walking in the park, now And children singing songs Of where we go our dreams come true I'm in love with you
It only takes love Love is a healing thing When you give everything All your love in the world The world gives you love to hold on to It remembers you, 'cause all we're so wrong I know I am
Somewhere, I don't remember love Just give me many chances I'll see you through the storms Just give me time to learn to grow Just give me many chances I'll see you through the wind Just give me time to learn to grow
In September, when the rain comes and the wind blows I will see you walking in the cold, alone But if you'll let me, I will keep you here, inside the stars I will love the sand on my sheets, and you loving me in the dark
Somewhere, I don't remember love Just give me many chances I'll see you through the storms Just give time to learn to grow Just give me many chances I'll see you through the wind Just give me time to learn to grow Just give me many chances I'll see you through the rain Just give me time to learn, time to learn to grow, oh
Just give me many chances I'll see you through it all Just give me time to learn to grow Time to learn to grow Time to learn to grow Time to learn to grow
