"The Straight Life"

"The Straight Life"

Sometimes I imagine myself as a drifter,
Seeker of fortunes, connoisseur of great wines.
Dashing through meadows of yellow and green,
Trying to catch the impossible dream,
Leavin' the straight life behind.

Sometimes my thoughts may find me in Mexico,
Drinkin' tequila goin' out of my mind.
Havin' a ball on a couple 'a bob,
Treatin' the ladies to corn on the cob,
Leavin' the straight life behind.

Suddenly all my silly thoughts disappear,
She comes to me softly with crackers and beer,
Winkin' and blinkin' and blowin' in my ear,
Runnin' away with my mind.

It's great to be in love,
I'm not really thinkin' of
Leavin' the straight life behind
I'm just playin' a game in my mind.

Once in a while in my mind I go bummin',
Goin' to nowhere, with no worry of time
Runnin' along chasin' after a train,
Hummin' a song in the sun and the rain,
Leavin' the straight life behind.

I can just see me on a tropical island,
Ridin' the surf and drinkin' coconut wine.
Havin' me fun with the girls in the sand,
Chasin' the sun through an innocent land,
Leavin' the straight life behind.

Suddenly all my silly thoughts disappear,
She comes to me softly with crackers and beer,
Winkin' and blinkin' and blowin' in my ear,
Runnin' away with my mind.

It's great to be in love,
I'm not really thinkin' of
Leavin' the straight life behind,
I'm just playin' a game in my mind.

"The Twelfth Of Never"

"The Twelfth Of Never"

You ask how much I need you must I explain
I need you oh my darling like roses need rain
You ask how long I'll love you I'll tell you true
Until the 12th of Never I'll still be loving you
Hold me close never let me go hold me close melt my heart like April snow
I'll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom
I'll love you till the clover has lost its perfume
I'll love you till the poets run out of rhymes
Until the 12th of Never and that's a long long time
Until the 12th of Never and that's a long long time

"The World I Used To Know"

"The World I Used To Know"

Some day in some old familiar rain will come along and know my name
And then my shelter will be gone and I'll have to move along
But till I do I'll stay awhile and track the hidden country of your smile
Some day the man I used to be will come along and call on me
And then because I'm just a man you'll find my feet are made of sand
But till that time I'll tell you lies and chart the hidden boundrys of your eyes
Some day the world I used to know will come along and lead me go
Then I'll be leaving you behind for love is just a state of mind
But till that day I'll be your man and love away your troubles if I can
And till that day I'll be your man and love away your troubles if I can

"Theme From Love Story"

"Theme From Love Story"

Where do I begin,
To tell the story of how great a love can be?
The sweet love story that is older than the sea.
The simple truth about the love she brings to me.
Where do I start?

With her first hello!
She gave a meaning to this empty world of mine.
There'd never be another love, another time.
She came into my life and made the living fine.
She fills my heart...

She fills my heart with very special things,
With angels' songs, with wild imaginings.
She fills my soul with so much love,
That anywhere I go, I'm never lonely.
With her along, who could be lonely?
I reach for her hand, it's always there...

How long does it last?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now, but this much I can say,
I know I'll need her 'till the stars all burn away
And she'll be there...
She'll be there...

"There's No Me... Without You"

"There's No Me... Without You"

The sun doesn't have to shine
It doesn't matter what I do
There's no me without you
We never have to be afraid
Heaven is a place for two
There's no me without you

We shall be forever two
There's no me without you

Once upon a lonely day
God came thru
He blessed me with you
I'm never gonna fade away
Your love won't allow me to
Can't you see?
I love you

We shall be forever two
There's no me without you

"These Days"
(originally by Jackson Browne)

"These Days"
(originally by Jackson Browne)

Well I've been out walking
I don't do that much talking these days
These days-
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
For you
And all the times I had the chance to

And I had a lover
It's so hard to risk another these days
These days-
Now if I seem to be afraid
To live the life I have made in song
Well it's just that I've been losing so long

I'll keep on moving
Things are bound to be improving these days
These days-
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten, my friend
Don't confront me with my failures
I had not forgotten them

"This Is Love"

"This Is Love"

The palpitating beast that beats within my battered breast
Burning and bedevilling, not allowing any rest
The thunder in my mind reflects the storm within my heart
A blasting, blaring sound that tears my soul apart

If this is love... who needs it?

There's a tender, tempting feeling that is growing in my mind
Soothing and caressing a part of me that's blind
A warming worm that's mellowing and eating my resolve
Changing and challenging my cold heart to dissolve

If this is love... I want it!

Now a flaming, flaring fire I feel has trapped me in it's trance
Flashing and flickering and forcing me to dance
I'm raised by its pure energy, aborning me anew
Blinding but enlightening, I know the fire is you

If this is love... I need it
If this is love... I want it
If this is what love is like... oh yes, I need it
Oh if this is what love is like, I wanna have a taste of it

"Time"

"Time"

Some people run some people crawl some people don't even move at all
Some roads lead forward some roads lead back
Some roads are bathed in light and some wrapped in fearful black
Some people never get some never give some people never die and some never live
Some folks treat me mean some treat me kind
Most folks just go their way and don't pay me any mind
Time oh good good time where did you go time oh good good time where did you go
Sometimes I'm satisfied sometimes I'm not
Sometimes my face is cold and sometimes it's hot
At sunset I laugh sunrise I cry at midnight I'm in between and I'm wondering why
Time oh good good time where did you go time oh good good time where did you go

"Time In A Bottle"

"Time In A Bottle"

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day 'til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Again I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
Dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with

"Times Like These"
(originally by Foo Fighters)

"Times Like These"
(originally by Foo Fighters)

I, I'm a one way motorway
I'm a road that drives away
Then follows you back home
I, I'm a street light shining
I'm a wild light blinding bright
Burning off alone

(Uh huh huh)

It's times like these you learn to live again
It's times like these you give and give again
It's times like these you learn to love again
It's times like these time and time again

I, I'm a new day rising
I'm a brand new sky
To hang the stars upon tonight
I, I'm a little divided
Do I stay or run away
And leave it all behind?

(Uh huh huh)

It's times like these you learn to live again
It's times like these you give and give again
It's times like these you learn to love again
It's times like these time and time again

(Oh [11x])

(Uh huh huh)

It's times like these you learn to live again
It's times like these you give and give again
It's times like these you learn to love again
It's times like these time and time again
It's times like these time and time again
It's times like these time and time again
