"Falling Out Of Love"

"Falling Out Of Love"


This is what it's like falling out of love, this is the way you lose your very best friend.
This is how it feels when it's all over, this is just the way a true love ends.
First of all, there's no one you can talk to. When there is, they just don't seem to hear.
Words don't seem to matter much anyway,
they can't describe the pain, they can't explain the fear.
Then the nights grow cold and hard to live through, still you hate to see the morning come.
Somehow tomorrow doesn't matter much anymore,
the future holds no promise, your life's already done.

This is what it's like falling out of love, this is the way you lose your very best friend.
This is how it feels when it's all over, this is just the way a true love ends.
Then you find your heart no longer flutters. You no longer look through a lover's eyes.
What's to see when the world falls down around you?
You simply can't believe it, but it comes as no surprise.

This is what it's like falling out of love, this is the way you lose your very best friend.
This is how it feels when it's all over, this is just the way a true love ends.
What this sense of failure? It's such an incredible loss.
It's all the things you'll never do and all the dreams that will never come true.
This is what it's like falling out of love, this is the way you lose your very best friend.
This is how it feels when it's all over, this is just the way a true love ends.
Oh, this is just the way a true love ends. I don't believe a true love ever ends.

"Farewell Andromeda (Welcome To My Morning)"

"Farewell Andromeda (Welcome To My Morning)"


Welcome to my morning, welcome to my day.
Yes, I'm the one responsible, I made it just this way.
To make myself some pictures, see what they might bring.
I think I made it perfectly, I wouldn't change a thing.
La la la, la la la la la. La la la, la la la la la.

Welcome to my happiness, you know it makes me smile.
And it pleases me to have you here for just a little while.
While we open up the spaces and try to break some chains.
And if the truth is told they will never come again.
La la la, la la la la la. La la la, la la la la la.

Welcome to my evening, the closing of the day,
you know I could try a million times and never find a better way
to tell you that I love you and all the songs I played
are to thank you for allowing me in that lovely day you made.

Welcome to my morning, welcome to my day.
Yes, I'm the one responsible, I made it just this way.
To make myself some pictures, see what they might bring.
I think I made it perfectly, I wouldn't change a thing.
La la la, la la la la la. La la la, la la la la la.
La la la, la la la la la. La la la, la la la la la.

"Fire And Rain"

"Fire And Rain"


Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone.
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you.
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song, I just can't remember who to send it to.
I've seen fire and I've seen rain, I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend,
but I always thought that I'd see you again.

Won't you look down upon me, Jesus? You gotta help me make a stand,
you just got to see me through another day.
My body's aching and my time is at hand, and I won't make it any other way.
I've seen fire and I've seen rain, I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend,
but I always thought that I'd see you again.

I've been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun.
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around.
But there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come,
sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground.
I've seen fire and I've seen rain, I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend,
but I always thought that I'd see you again.

"Flight"

"Flight"


Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth and danced the sky on laughter silvered wings.
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds and done a hundred things.
I've wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence.
Hovering there I've chased the shouting winds aloft
and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.
The higher we fly, the farther we go, the closer we are to each other.
The darker the night, the brighter the star, in peace go my sisters and brothers.

Up, up, the long delirious burning blue I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace.
Where never lark nor even eagle flew and while with silent lifting mind I trod
the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of God.
The higher we fly, the farther we go, the closer we are to each other.
The darker the night, the brighter the star, in peace go my sisters and brothers.

"Fly Away"

"Fly Away"


All of her days have gone soft and cloudy, all of her dreams have gone dry.
All of her nights have gone sad and shady, She's getting ready to fly.
Fly away, fly away, fly away.

Life in the city can make you crazy for sounds of the sand and the sea.
Life in a high-rise can make you hungry for things that you can't even see.
Fly away, fly away, fly away.

In this whole world there's nobody as lonely as she,
there's nowhere to go and there's nowhere that she'd rather be.
She's looking for lovers and children playing, she's looking for signs of the spring.
She listens for laughter and sounds of dancing, she listens for any old thing.
Fly away, fly away, fly away .

In this whole world there's nobody as lonely as she,
there's nowhere to go and there's nowhere that she'd rather be.
All of her days have gone soft and cloudy, all of her dreams have gone dry.
All of her nights have gone sad and shady, She's getting ready to fly.
Fly away, fly away, fly away, fly away.

Where are my days, where are my nights? Where is the Spring? I wanna fly, I wanna fly:

"Flying For Me"

"Flying For Me"


Well, I guess that you probably know by now-I was one who wanted to fly.
I wanted to ride on that arrow of fire right up into heaven.
And I wanted to go for every man, every child, every mother of children,
I wanted to carry the dreams of all people right up to the stars.
And I prayed that I'd find an answer there or maybe I would find a song,
giving a voice to all of the hearts that cannot be heard.
And for all of the ones who live in fear and all of those who stand apart,
my being there would bring us a little step closer together,

They were flying for me, they were flying for everyone.
They were trying to see a brighter day for each and every one.
They gave us their light, they gave us their spirit and all they could be,
they were flying for me, they were flying for me.

And I wanted to wish on the Milky Way and dance upon a falling star.
I wanted to give myself and free myself and join myself with it all.

Given the chance to dream, it can be done, the promise of tomorrow is real.
Children of spaceship Earth, the future belongs to us all.

She was flying for me, she was flying for everyone.
She was trying to see a brighter day for each and every one.
She gave us her light, she gave us her spirit, and all she can be, she was flying for me.
They were flying for me, they were flying for everyone.
They were trying to see a brighter day for each and every one.
They gave us their light, they gave us their spirit and all they could be,
they were flying for me, they were flying for me.
They were flying for me, they were flying for me.

"Follow Me"

"Follow Me"


It's by far the hardest thing I've ever done, to be so in love with you and so alone.
Follow me where I go, what I do and who I know, make it part of you to be a part of me.
Follow me up and down, all the way and all around, take my hand and say you'll follow me.

It's long been on my mind, you know, it's been a long, long time.
I'll try to find the way that I can make you understand
the way I feel about you and just how much I need you
to be there where I can talk to you when there's no one else around.
Follow me where I go, what I do and who I know, make it part of you to be a part of me.
Follow me up and down, all the way and all around, take my hand and say you'll follow me.

You see, I'd like to share my life with you and show you things I've seen,
places that I'm going to and places where I've been.
To have you there beside me and never be alone,
and all the time that you're with me, then we will be at home.

Follow me where I go, what I do and who I know, make it part of you to be a part of me.
Follow me up and down, all the way and all around, take my hand and I will follow you.

"For Baby (For Bobbie)"

"For Baby (For Bobbie)"


I'll walk in the rain by your side, I'll cling to the warmth of your hand.
I'll do anything to keep you satisfied, I'll love you more than anybody can.
And the wind will whisper your name to me, little birds will sing along in time.
Leaves will bow down when you walk by and morning bells will chime.

I'll be there when you're feeling down to kiss away the tears that you cry.
I'll share with you all the happiness I've found, a reflection of the love in your eyes.
And I'll sing you the songs of the rainbow, a whisper of the joy that is mine.
Leaves will bow down when you walk by and morning bells will chime.

I'll walk in the rain by your side, I'll cling to the warmth of your tiny hand.
I'll do anything to help you understand, and I'll love you more than anybody can.
And the wind will whisper your name to me, little birds will sing along in time.
Leaves will bow down when you walk by and morning bells will chime.

"For You"

"For You"


Just to look in your eyes again, just to lay in your arms.
Just to be the first one always there for you.
Just to live in your laughter, just to sing in your heart.
Just to be every one of your dreams come true.
Just to sit by your window, just to touch in the night. Just to offer a prayer each day for you.
Just to long for your kisses, just to dream of your sighs.
Just to know that I'd give my life for you.
For you, all the rest of my life, for you, all the rest of my life, for you alone, only for you.

Just to wake up each morning, just to have you by my side.
Just to know that you're never really far away.
Just a reason for living, just to say I adore. Just to know that you're here in my heart to stay.
For you, all the rest of my life, for you, all the rest of my life, for you alone, only for you.
Just the words of a love song, just the beat of my heart.
Just the pledge of my life, my love, for you.

"Forest Lawn"

"Forest Lawn"


Oh, lay me down in Forest Lawn in a silver casket
with golden flowers over my head in a silver basket.
Let the drum and bugle corp play taps while cannons roar.
While sixteen liveried employees sell souvenirs from the funeral store.
I wanna go simply when I go. They'll give me a simple funeral there, I know.
With a casket lined in fleece and the fireworks spelling out "Rest in Peace,"
Oh, take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn.

Oh, lay me down in Forest Lawn, they understand there.
They have a heavenly choir in the military band there.
Just put me in their care, I'll find my comfort there.
With sixteen planes in a last salute, they'll drop a cross in a parachute.
I wanna go simply when I go, they'll give me a simple funeral there I know
With a hundred strolling strings and topless dancers with golden wings,
Oh, take me when I'm gone to Forest Lawn.

Oh, come, come, come, come, come to the church in the wild wood,
Kindly leave a contribution in the pail.
Be as simple and as trusting as a child would and we'll sell you the church in the dale.

To find a simple resting place is my desire.
To lay me down with a smiling face comes a little bit higher.
My likeness cast in brass will stand in plastic grass
While hidden weights and springs tips it's hat to the mourners filing past.

I wanna go simply when I go. They'll give me a simple funeral there I know.
I'll lie beneath the sand with piped-in tapes of Billy Graham,
oh, take me when I'm gone to forest lawn.

Rock of ages cleft for me for a slightly higher fee. Oh, take me when I'm gone to forest lawn.
