Beautiful Dreamer

Beautiful Dreamer



Beautiful dreamer, you are like magic to me

’cause you share all your love

And your life and your love is so fine in my life

It’s just what I’ve been looking for

Searching for and you care

Beautiful dreamer, not an illusion to me

You know I can tell by the way that you’ve taken my hand

In a moment of sadness your gladness is there to surround me

Astound me and you care

I’ve seen all the people (waiting at the station)

Waiting at the station

(no imagination) no imagination

They’re too busy doing nothing

Making all kinds of arrangements

(nothing’s really) but nothing’s really changing them

(changing them)

They’re (they’re) still asking why (why) their well is dry

I tried to tell them that love is the answer

They need a beautiful dreamer

If I could I’d share you with them

Oh, but you know it took so very long to find what I’ve needed

And my greatest obsession is doing my best

Just to keep you and love you ’cause you care

You’re one in a million

(always giving into) always giving in to

(me whenever I begin to) me whenever I begin to act

A little like I’m crazy

Still (still you never faulter) you never faulter

(never try to alter) or never try to alter my integrity

How I could I not be proud to have your wisdom

You’re such a beautiful dreamer (beautiful dreamer)

You are like magic to me

’cause you share all your love

And your life (and your life)

And your love is so fine

(so fine in my life) in my life

And you know it’s just what I’ve been searching for

Looking for and you care

(beautiful) beautiful dreamer (dreamer)

Calling You

Calling You


Desert road from Vegas to nowhere

Somewhere better than where you've been

A coffee machine that needs some fixing

In a little cafe' just around the bend

I am calling you, I know you hear me

I am calling you

A hot dry wind blowing right through me

Oh, the baby's crying and I can't sleep

But we both know that a change is coming

Oh, coming closer, such sweet release

And I am calling you, can you hear me

I am calling you

Oooh, yeah

Desert road from Vegas to nowhere

Somewhere better than where you've been

Coming closer around the bend

Dangerous


Da, da, da, da, da, da dangerous

Da, da, da, dan, da, dangerous

All my friends say he’s much too hot

Don’t get involved, it’s emotional shock

But ooh, he charges my electricity

When he puts his finger on me

I said a oh, oh, oh, you know I want you and i

And i, and I need you pretty baby

I’m in the fire, there’s just no turning back

Though I know, know, know

You’re dangerous (ooh)

So hot and heavy, I know that I just can’t resist

Ooh, dangerous

I feel my heart beat, I feel it beating faster

Ooh, ooh, too dangerous

(ooh) the way you kiss me, I know I never felt like this

Oh, you’re dangerous

Wild even stranger

Need a little danger

Hoo, ooh

(oh) you make your move and I’m begging please

Then you’re pushing me away, you know you’re such a tease

One look can drive me right out of my mind

And get my heart pumping double time

And then I hear myself say you better be strong

Stay away; he’s gonna do wrong

You better run girl while you’ve got the chance

’cause you know, know, know

He’s dangerous (ooh)

So hot and heavy, I know that I just can’t resist

Ooh dangerous, I feel my heart beat, I feel it beating faster

Ooh, ooh too dangerous (ooh)

The way you kiss me, I never, ever felt like this

Oh, you’re dangerous

Wild even stranger, need a little of your love (love)

Your love, oh, oh, oh

Ooh, oh, oh, oh

I’m in too deep and when you’re close to me

I get so weak

Our bodies touch and then our hearts collide

I feel inside, emotional love exploding

Musical interlude

Oh, dangerous (ooh)

So hot and heavy I know that I just can’t resist (this)

Ooh dangerous, I feel my heart beat, beating a little bit faster

Ooh, ooh too dangerous (ooh)

The way you kiss me, I never, ever felt like this (this)

(oh, you’re dangerous)

Wild even stranger, need a little danger

Dont Look Back

Don`t Look Back



Everyday the population is growing and to find some peace of mind is something rare

Don't you get discouraged keep on going and don't you mind the way that the people turn and stare

Now how long can you keep on feeling guilty and tell me why should you feel bad about feeling good

Don't you know that the world is cold and filthy, aw yes it is, but if you're a special child

They know sometimes you'll be misunderstood, (you can never look back)

Yesterday is dead and gone, (don't you look back) your tomorrow is here today

Keep on fighting, a quitter never wins, hold your breath stick out your chin

Count to ten start again, everybody wants to be somebody

But they can't seem to see the forest for the trees, we just can't let our past

Hold back our future, oh, no, no, when its all over but the shouting

Nothing is left but memories, looks like you could use a little bit of happiness

Now I know that its really hard to find, but you owe it to yourself to have the very best

And only a fool will try to catch up to what he has left behind, (you can never look back)

No, no, 'cause yesterday is dead and gone, (don't you look back) your tomorrow is here today

And when you're crying, you need someone to hold on to

It's not the end of the world my friend, tip your hat, start again

And keep a positive direction, oh, keep your vision straight ahead

You can't lose with the stuff you use, we've come too far just to turn around, oh, oh,

Don't you look back, yesterday is dead and gone (don't you look back)

Your tomorrow is on the way and if you're fighting, people, a quitter never w
