"I Dreamed A Dream"

"I Dreamed A Dream"



There was a time when girls were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
It all went wrong

I dreamed a dream of time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving

When I was young and unafraid
When dreams were made
And used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine un-tasted

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
And they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame....

She slept this summer by my side
She filled my days with endless wonder
She took my childhood in her stride
But she was gone when autumn came

And still I dream she'll come to me
That we will spend the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
But life can't kill
The dream I dreamed

"I Feel You"

"I Feel You"



When the stars go down
And nobody else is around
I feel you, I feel you

As I look in your eyes
Suddenly I realize, how you heal me
You heal me

My way of giving back
All that you've given me
Is share my life with you
So it will always be

When we're far apart,
I can reach way down deep in my heart
And I feel you
If the night is cold
And I need someone that I can hold
I feel you

My way of giving back
All you've given me
Is share my life with you
So it will always be, oh yeah
I feel you, I feel you
And if you ever wonder
Someone right here
Will understand how you feel

When the lights are low
And I'm looking for somewhere to go
I feel you, I feel you
What I seem to know
Is the feeling wherever I go
That you feel me

Hey, I feel you
I feel you

"I Got Love For You"

"I Got Love For You"



Your eyes say
You've been heartache and more
I know 'cause girl
I've walked that road before
But baby,
You can just forget
That word called cry
'Cause I'll be there right beside you

And, I got love for you,
Baby all I got to give.
I got love for you for as long as I live
Let me see your smile now, girl

Baby don't look back
To where you've been
It won't ever be that way again
There's not a lot of things
That I got plenty of
But love believe what I'm sayin',

Cause, I got love for you
Baby all I got to give
I got love for you for as long as I live
It's gotta be alright now

There'll be no one doin' you harm
No, don't be afraid, child
Love, you're safe in my arms
Gonna be no hurt, never no more
No pain, not like before
No fears, baby ,for sure
Just love forever more

Cause, I got love for you
Baby all I got to give
I got love for you for as long as I live
So hold me tight now
So hold me tight now,
Baby......

"I Got The Feelin' (Oh No, No)"

"I Got The Feelin' (Oh No, No)"



Oh no, no, no, no
Baby, something's wrong
Oh no, no, no, no
That old time fire is gone
It's not so much the things you say, love
It's what you don't say I'm afraid of.....

I got the feelin' I'm hearin' goodbye
Don't have to say it
It's there in your eyes
Oh why, oh my

Oh no, no, no, no
You don't smile the same
Oh no, no, no, no
Like you been hidin' pain
I love you so much, I could taste it
But girl, your eyes tell me it's wasted

I got the feelin' I'm hearin' goodbye
Don't have to say it
It's there in your eyes
Oh why, oh my
Oh no, oh no no

Oh no, baby I got the feelin'
I'm hearin' goodbye
I got the feelin' that I'm gonna die,girl
I got the feelin'
Oh yes I do girl
I got the feelin'
That I'm losin' you

"I Haven't Played This Song In Years"

"I Haven't Played This Song In Years"



Just beyond my windowpane, I saw you
Walking in the rain away from me
Visions of your future lay before you
You are free

I saw you in the company of strangers
Laughing just a little bit too loud
Looking at reflections in a mirror
I can see the smiling faces
But not me among the crowd
Wondering how

I wish that I could play this like a love song
So I could shape it like I wanted to
I'd make it purely from the heart
I know that surely from the heart
There only comes the gentlest of tunes
But where are you?

We tried to set the world on fire
And almost did with our desire
Two of us and maybe more
Kids inside a candy store
Sparks of joy and celebration
Suddenly we're drowned beneath the tears
And baby, you're the reason that
I haven't played this song in years
Yes baby, you're the reason that
I haven't played this song in years

Some believe in magic potions
Heads all full of crazy notions
Castles built upon a sandy shore
Only magic I believe in
Is the magic I receive from
Loving you and needing nothing more
Nothing more

We never heard each other's cries
That's how lovers turn to lies
When I gave, you wanted more
Then suddenly we're keeping score
I forgave your small deceptions
Till I couldn't hide my deepest fears
And baby, you're the reason that
I haven't played this song in years
yes baby, you're the reason that
I haven' t played this song in years

"I Seek The Night"

"I Seek The Night"



I seek the night
And I rest my head
On my weary bed
And I think about you

And time's on my mind
I've been thinking about
What I'm doing without
With a boy like you
What's a girl to do

Yesterday was more or less
Just like the day before
And time don't matter
When there's nobody else around

Yesterday is dead and gone
And all I believe is in now
I believe and how my time has come

Why sleep at all
Just to rest my head
On a lonely bed
And to dream alone

Time's on my mind
And the last I heard
He was like a bird
Don't know where he flew
And what's a girl to do

What's a girl to do
What's a girl to do

"I Shall Be Released"

"I Shall Be Released"



They say ev'rything can be replaced
Yet ev'ry distance is not near
So I remember ev'ry face
Of ev'ry man who put me here
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

They say ev'ry man needs protection
They say ev'ry man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

Standing next to me in this lonely crowd
Is a man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear him shout so loud
Crying out that he was framed
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

"I Think It's Gonna Rain Today"

"I Think It's Gonna Rain Today"



Broken windows
In empty hallways
A pale dead moon
In a sky streaked with gray
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's gonna rain today

Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen smiles to chase love away
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's gonna to rain today

Lonely, lonely

Tin can at my feet
Kick it down the street
And that's the way to treat a friend

Right before me
The signs implore me
Help the needy
And show them the way
Human kindness, is overflowing
And I think it's gonna to rain today

"I Walk A Crooked Street"

"I Walk A Crooked Street"


Where I am, what I am
You're the only reason
Held me up, filled my cup,
Had the faith in me and love....

Owe it all to you, knowin' we're in love
There's nothing I can't do
And I'm not afraid to lose my way
'Cause if I walk a crooked street
You're there to lead me home

I've been through bad times
And some times worse
And till I met you 'happy' was just a word
But that all changed the day you came
Now if I walk a crooked street
You're there to lead me home

[Guitar instrumental]

And I'm not afraid to lose my way
'Cause if I walk a crooked street
You're there to lead me home
If I walk a crooked street
You're there to lead me home

"I'll Be Back Someday"

"I'll Be Back Someday"



Goodbye, it's time for me to go
So, baby, don't cry
I want you to know that, baby
I'll be back someday

Cheer up,
The skies above are bound to clear up
I like to stick around, but baby,
I'll be back someday.

Don't be blue, I'll return with love untold
When I do, I want you to have and hold

I know that you'll be close to me
Wherever I go,
So, when I say goodbye, remember
I'll be back someday.
