Now that I've lost everything to you You say you wanna start something new And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin' Baby, I'm grievin' But if you wanna leave, take good care I hope you have a lot of nice things to wear But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world It's hard to get by just upon a smile Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world I'll always remember you like a child, girl You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do And it's breakin' my heart in two Because I never wanna see you a sad girl Don't be a bad girl But if you wanna leave, take good care I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world It's hard to get by just upon a smile Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world I'll always remember you like a child, girl Baby, I love you But if you wanna leave, take good care I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world It's hard to get by just upon a smile Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world I'll always remember you like a child, girlBack to Song List
Oh very young What will you leave us this time Youre only dancing on this earth for a short while And though your dreams may toss and turn you now They will vanish away like your daddys best jeans Denim Blue fading up to the sky And though you want him to last forever You know you never will You know you never will And the patches make the goodbye harder still Oh very young What will you leave us this time Therell never be a better chance to change your mind And if you want this world to see a better day Will you carry the words of love with you Will you ride the great white bird into heaven And though you want to last forever You know you never will You know you never will And the goodbye makes the journey harder still Oh very young What will you leave us this time Youre only dancing on this earth for a short while Oh very young What will you leave us this timeBack to Song List
Oh I can't keep it in, I can't keep it in, I've gotta let it out. I've got to show the world, world's got to see, see all the love love that's in me. I said, why walk alone, why worry when it's warm over here. You've got so much to say, say what you mean, mean what you're thinking, and think anything. Oh why, why must you waste you're life away, you've got to live for today, then let it go Oh, lover, I want to spend this time with you, there's nothing I wouldn't do, If you let me know. And I can't keep it in, I can't hide it and I can't lock it away. I'm up for your love, love heats my blood, blood spins my head, and my head falls in love, oh. No, I can't keep it in, I can't keep it in, I've gotta let it out. I've gotta show the world, world's got to know, know of the love, love that lies low, so Why can't you say, If you know, then why can't you say. You've got too much deceit, deceit kills the light, light needs to shine, I said shine light , shine light. Love, That's no way to live your life, you allow too much to go by, and that won't do. No, lover. I want to have you here by my side Now don't you run, don't you hide, while I'm with you. 'N I can't keep it in, I can't keep it in, I've gotta let it out. I've got to show the world, world's got to see, see all the love love that's in me. I said, why walk alone, why worry when it's warm over here. You've got so much to say, say what you mean, mean what you're thinking, and think anything. Why not? Now why why why notBack to Song List
I'm looking for a hard headed woman, One who will take me for myself, And if I find my hard headed woman, I will need nobody else, no, no. I'm looking for a hard headed woman, One who will make me do my best, And if I find my hard headed woman I know the rest of my life will be blessed - yes, yes, yes I know a lot of fancy dancers, people who can glide you on a floor, They move so smooth but have no answers. When you ask "Why'd you come here for?" "I don't know" "Why?" I know many fine feathered friends but their friendliness depends on how you do. They know many sure fired ways to find out the one who pays and how you do. I'm looking for a hard headed woman, One who will make me feel so good, And if I find my hard headed woman, I know my life will be as it should - yes, yes, yes I'm looking for a hard headed woman, One who will make me do my best, And if I find my hard headed womanBack to Song List
Oh, I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land, Oh if I ever lose my hands, Oh if.... I won't have to work no more. And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colours all run dry, Yes if I ever lose my eyes, Oh if.... I won't have to cry no more. And if I ever lose my legs, I won't moan, and I won't beg, Yes if I ever lose my legs, Oh if.... I won't have to walk no more. And if I ever lose my mouth, all my teeth, north and south, Yes if I ever lose my mouth, Oh if.... I won't have to talk... Did it take long to find me? I asked the faithful light. Did it take long to find me? And are you gonna stay the nightBack to Song List
Now that I've passed your test How can I prove to you baby i'll never let you down If I led you around, I'm sorry But I never meant to worry you.... no Now that I've kissed your breast How can I prove to you baby I'll never make you sad If I ever had , do believe your tears tears won't come back again I love you, though the stars may fade And mountains turn into sand. I love you 'Til my body changes into an old man. I love you And the song that i sing is the only way that I can explain La la la la la la You know i wish for you baby nothing but good times ahead Anything that heaven can give you, I can give you instead La la la la la la How could I lie to you baby, i'll never lead you around I'll take care of everything you need, darling Every little need'll be found. I love you Thought the time may change and snowmen sleep in the sea And I really only want you to want me. I love you And the song that i sing is the only way that i can explain Now that you've shown your heart I'll be right with you baby, I'll never leave you alone Anywhere you want me to be honey, i'll be there to have and to hold And now that the clouds roll back, hold on to me baby We're going never to land, flying on the power of love Flying on the power of love. I love you Though time may fade and mountains turn into sand I love you, 'til the very same come back to the land I love you and the song that i sing is the only way that i can explain Two fine people should love each other Two fine people should help each otherBack to Song List
Now I've been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come And I believe it could be, something good has begun Oh I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one And I believe it could be, some day it's going to come Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again Now I've been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come And I believe it could be, something good has begun Oh peace train sounding louder Glide on the peace train Come on now peace train Yes, peace train holy roller Everyone jump upon the peace train Come on now peace train Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too Cause it's getting nearer, it soon will be with you Now come and join the living, it's not so far from you And it's getting nearer, soon it will all be true Now I've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train Oh peace train take this country, come take me home againBack to Song List

Father It's not time to make a change, Just relax, take it easy. You're still young, that's your fault, There's so much you have to know. Find a girl, settle down, If you want you can marry. Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy. I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy, To be calm when you've found something going on. But take your time, think a lot, Why, think of everything you've got. For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not. Son How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again. It's always been the same, same old story. From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen. Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away. I know I have to go. Father It's not time to make a change, Just sit down, take it slowly. You're still young, that's your fault, There's so much you have to go through. Find a girl, settle down, if you want you can marry. Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy. Son All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside, It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it. If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them you know not me. Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away. I know I have to goBack to Song List
Oh I'm on my way, I know I am, somewhere not so far from here All I know is all I feel right now, I feel the power growing in my hair Sitting on my own not by myself, everybody's here with me I don't need to touch your face to know, and I don't need to use my eyes to see I keep on wondering if I sleep too long, will I always wake up the same, or so And keep on wondering if I sleep too long, will I even wake up again or something Oh I'm on my way I know I am, but times there were when I thought not Bleeding half my soul in bad company, I thank the moon I had the strength to stop I'm not making love to anyone's wishes, only for that light I see 'Cause when I'm dead and lowered low in my grave, that's gonna be the only thing that's left of me And if I make it to the waterside, will I even find me a boat, or so And if I make it to the waterside, I'll be sure to write you not or something Oh I'm on my way, I know I am, somewhere not so far from here All I know is all I feel right now, I feel the power growing in my hair Oh life is like a maze of doors and they all open from the side you're on Just keep on pushing hard boy, try as you may You're going to wind up where you started from You're going to wind up where you started fromBack to Song List
Morning has broken, like the first morning Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird Praise for the singing, praise for the morning Praise for the springing fresh from the world Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven Like the first dewfall, on the first grass Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden Sprung in completeness where his feet pass Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning Born of the one light, eden saw play Praise with elation, praise every morning God's recreation of the new dayBack to Song List
