A Song For You

I've been so many places in my life and time I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme I've acted out my love in stages With ten thousand people watching But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you I know your image of me is what I hope to be I've treated you unkindly, but darling can't you see? There's no one more important to me Darling, can't you please see through me? Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you You taught me precious secrets Of the truth with-holding nothing You came out in front and I was hiding But now I'm so much better And if my words don't come together Listen to the melody Cause my love is in there hiding I love you in a place where there's no space or time I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song for you instrumental break You taught me precious secrets Of the truth with-holding nothing You came out in front and I was hiding But now I'm so much better And if my words don't come together Listen to the melody Cause my love is in there hiding I love you in a place where there's no space or time I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song for you We were alone and I was singing this song for you

Such a feeling's coming over me There is wonder in most everything I see Not a cloud in the sky Got the sun in my eyes And I won't be surprised if it's a dream Everything I want the world to be Is now coming true especially for me And the reason is clear, it's because you are here You're the nearest thing to Heaven that I've seen I'm on the top of the world lookin down on creation And the only explanation I can find Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around Your love's put me at the top of the world Something in the wind has learned my name And it's tellin me that things are not the same In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze There's a pleasin sense of happiness for me There is only one wish on my mind When this day is through I hope that I will find That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me All I need will be mine if you are here I'm on the top of the world lookin down on creation And the only explanation I can find Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around Your love's put me at the top of the world I'm on the top of the world lookin down on creation And the only explanation I can find Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around Your love's put me at the top of the world

 No one in the world ever had a love as sweet as my love For nowhere in the world could there be a boy as true as you love All my love I give gladly to you All your love you give gladly to me Tell me why, then, oh why should it be that We go on hurting each other We go on hurting each other Making each other cry, hurting each other Without ever knowing why Closer than the leaves on a weeping willow baby we are Closer dear are we than the simple letters A and B are All my life I could love only you All your life you could love only me Tell me why, then, oh why should it be that We go on hurting each other We go on hurting each other Making each other cry, hurting each other Without ever knowing why Can't we stop hurting each other? Gotta stop hurting each other Making each other cry, breaking each other's heart, tearing each other apart Can't we stop hurting each other? Gotta stop hurting each other Making each other cry, breaking each other's heart, tearing each other apart

 It's gonna take some time this time To get myself in shape I really fell out of line this time I really missed the gate The birds on the telephone line next time Are crying out to me next time And I won't be so blind next time And I'll find some harmony But it's going to take some time this time And I can't make demands But like the young trees in the wintertime I'll learn how to bend After all the tears we've spent how could we make amends? So it's one more round for experience And I'm on the road again And it's going to take some time this time And I can't make demands I'll learn how to bend instrumental break It's gonna take some time this time No matter what I've planned And like the young trees in the wintertime I'll learn how to bend After all the tears we've spent how could we make amends? So it's one more round for experience And I'm on the road again And it's going to take some time this time

I'll say goodbye to love No one ever cared if I should live or die Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by And all I know of love is how to livw without it I just can't seem to find it So I've made my mind up I must live my life alone And though it's not the easy way I guess I've always known I'd say goodbye to love There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine Surely time will lose these bitter memories And I'll find that there is someone to believe in and to live for Something I could live for All the years of useless search have finally reached an end Lonliness and empty days will be my only friend From this day love is forgotten I'll go on as best I can instrumental break What lies in the future is a mystery to us all No one can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls There may come a time when I will see that I've been wrong But for now this is my song and it's goodbye to love I'll say goodbye to love

Bless the beasts and the children For in this world they have no voice They have no choice Bless the beasts and the children For the world can never be The world they see Light their way when the darkness surrounds them Give them love, let it shine all around them Bless the beasts and the children Give them shelter from a storm Keep them safe, keep them warm Light their way when the darkness surrounds them Give them love, let it shine all around them Bless the beasts and the children Give them shelter from a storm Keep them safe, keep them warm the children, the children, the children

 Everybody alwayays asks me how I got to play so fine And friends I'm gonna tell ya it really did take some time Yes after years and years of practice Had a case of real bad knees While all the other guys were out playing with the football I was home banging on the keys And it got me right where I am This is me playing the piano I hope you like what I do, it's for you And I'll try and sing right too instrumental break I guess I'm really very lucky that I've got this thing to play Cause it can really make me feel good Even when it's cloudy and gray Yes after years and years of practice And awful allergies that made me sneeze And now the other guys are out playing with their girlfriends And I was still banging on the keys And it got me right where I am This is me playing the piano I hope you like what I do, it's for you And I'll try and sing right too instrumental break

 Day after day I must face a world of strangers where I don't belong I'm not that strong It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to who will always care You're always there When there's no getting over that rainbow When my smallest of dreams won't come true I can take all the madness the world has to give But I won't last a day without you So many times when the city seems to be without a friendly face A lonely place It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you and you'll always smile It's all worthwhile When there's no getting over that rainbow When my smallest of dreams won't come true I can take all the madness the world has to give But I won't last a day without you Touch me and I end up singing Troubles seem to up and disappear You touch me with the love you're bringing If all my friends have forgotten half their promises they're not unkind Just hard to find One look at you and I know that I could learn to live without the rest I've found the best When there's no getting over that rainbow When my smallest of dreams won't come true I can take all the madness the world has to give But I won't last a day without you When there's no getting over that rainbow When my smallest of dreams won't come true I can take all the madness the world has to give But I won't last a day without you won't last a day without you, without you

 Listen to the song he sings Can't you see his music brings her crystal sleep? As her heavy eyelids fall He's taking her to where the dolls rule the world And in that land of make believe is where he'll leave her sleeping Softly warm in a crystal lullaby He's weaving her a paper castle Where dancing clowns with tassles made of fur Welcome her into their world That lives inside the dreams of every little girl She's guarded by a brave tin soldier sitting on her shoulder Taken there in a crystal lullaby Sometimes when I listen to The velvet song that fills a summer afternoon Something deep within me sighs And wishes for the peaceful skies of long ago That wrapped my cares in silver air and carried them away Leaving me and a crystal lullaby instrumental break That wrapped my cares in silver air and carried them away Leaving me and a crystal lullaby

 I've been on this lonely road so long Does anybody know where it goes? I remember the last time the signs pointed home A month ago Rented cars and empty motel rooms Lead you everywhere but home Crowds of people shouting how they loved the show They don't know The endless crowds of faces Just keep on wearing a smile The countless times and places Lead me back, please take me back home I wonder if these feelings ever change How many times I'll life this load Come tomorrow I'll be gone again Roads of sorrow coming to an end for me The endless crowds of faces Just keep on wearing a smile The countless times and places Lead me back, please take me back home instrumental break I wonder if these feelings ever change How many times I'll life this load Come tomorrow I'll be gone again Roads of sorrow coming to an end for me

 I love you in a place where there's no space or time I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine And when my life is over, remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song for you We were alone and I was singing this song for you
