"If I Ruled The World"

"If I Ruled The World"

If I ruled the world
Every day would be
The first day of Spring
Every heart would have
A new song to sing
And we'd sing of the joy
Every morning would bring

If I ruled the world
Every man would be
As free as a bird
Every voice would be
A voice to be heard
Take my word
We would treasure each day
That occurred

My world would be
A beautiful place
Where we would weave
Such a wonderful dream
My world would wear
A smile on its face
Like the man in the moon
When the moon beams

If I ruled the world
Every man would say
The world was his friend
There'd be happiness
That no man could end
No my friend
Not if I ruled the world
Every head
Would be held up high
There'd be sunshine
In everyone's sky
If day ever dawned
When I ruled the world
If I ruled the world

"If There Were No Dreams"

"If There Were No Dreams"

If there were no dreams
And there were no dreamers
Then how could I dream you up?
You're still a mystery to me

The way that we love
The life that we're leading
I don't want to give you up
Whatever I have to do, I'll do

Put a mountain there
And I'll tear it down
If it's much too high
Then, I'll go around
I won't stop for anyone or anything
And I'd love you even
If there were no dreams

If there were no dreams
How could we be lovers?
And how could I need you so?
The reason's clear to even me

I'll know that it's right
You don't need to wonder
If you're up against that wall
I'm gonna be up against it too

If a mountains there,
We can tear it down
If it's much too high
Then we'll go around
We won't stop for anyone or anything

We'd be lovers even
If there were no dreams
Yes we would,
Lovers, even if there were no dreams

"If You Go Away"

"If You Go Away"

If you go away on this summer day,
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new
And our hearts were high
When the day was young,
And the night was long
And the moon stood still
For the nightbird song
If you go away, if you go away
If you go away

But if you stay, I'll make you a day
Like no day has been or will be again
We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees that worship the wind
And if you go, I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand
If you go away, if you go away
If you go away

If you go away, as I know you must,
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust
Just an empty room filled with empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
Can I tell you now, as you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly 'til your next hello
If you go away, if you go away
If you go away

But if you stay, I'll make you a night
Like no night has been or will be again
I'll sail on your smile
I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes, that I love so much

But if you go, I won't cry,
The good's gone from goodbye
If you go away, if you go away
If you go away

"If You Know What I Mean"

"If You Know What I Mean"

When the night returns just like a friend
When the evening comes to set me free
When the quiet hours
That wait beyond the day
Make peaceful sounds in me

Took a drag from my last cigarette
Took a drink from a glass of old wine
I closed my eyes and I could make it real
And feel it one more time

Can you hear it, babe
Can you hear it, babe
From another time, from another place
Do you remember it, babe

And the radio played like a carnival tune
As we lay in our bed in the other room
When we gave it away
For the sake of a dream in a penny arcade
If you know what I mean
If you know what I mean, babe

And here's to the songs we used to sing
And here's to the times we used to know
It's hard to hold them in our arms again
But hard to let them go
Do you hear it, babe
Do you hear it, babe

It was another time
It was another place
Do you remember it, babe

And the radio played like a carnival tune
As we lay in our bed in the other room
When we gave it away
For the sake of a dream in a penny arcade
If you know what I mean
If you know what I mean
If you know what I mean
If you know what I mean

If you know what I mean, babe
If you know what I mean

"If You Need Me"

"If You Need Me"

If you need me,
If you need me,
If you need me,
Darlin', I'll be there

Don't say a word
You'll be on your way
If you really want her
No I won't make you stay

But if she breaks your heart, now
And makes you feel so small
And you want
You want a true love then maybe this girl
And darling I'll be there

If you need me,
If you need me,
Any time at all dear I don't care
If you need me,
If you need me,
Darling I'll be there

You know I'll be lying
If you heard me say
Don't think about me love
It's better this way
It's gonna mean heartache
But I want you to know
My heart my heart is with you
Wherever you go
And darling you know I'll be there

If you need me,
If you need me,
Any time at all dear
I don't care
If you need me,
If you need me,
Darling I'll be there

"In Better Days"

"In Better Days"

How do I just forget that you were a part of me?
How do I leave behind everything we knew?
Looking inside of myself, where my heart would be
And all I see is you there too

Two of us goin' around in a state of denial, girl
Neither believin' the way it all came down
Didn't count much lost in paying the cost for a while, girl
Then this old world stopped spinning 'round

In better days we had it all
In better days when love came easy
We had it all but I never knew
How much there was when I had you
In better days, in better days

I remember a time there wasn't a dime between us two
We lived in a little old place on the side of a hill
Gave it our best in love, did the rest for me and you
Too young to lose, too hot to chill

In better days we had it all
In better days when love came easy
We had it all but I never knew
How much I lost when I lost you
In better days, in better days

Why do we promise forever and never stay that long?
Why do we swear to care until we die?
And what does it mean when two lovers sing loving songs
Then move along, and not know why

In better days we had it all
In better days when love was easy
We had it all but I never knew
How much there was between me and you
In better days, back in better days
In better days, way back in better days

"In Ensenada"

"In Ensenada"

In Ensenada
We were running
from the things that we knew best
We only took the good and left the rest
In Ensenada

Out on the border
And we knew
it was the last chance we would have
So we took the chance
and tried for one more laugh
In Ensenada

"Hold me"
She said, "Need Me"
She said, "Love me"
"And make it last until tomorrow"

Darling
You need me
The world is moving much to fast
Let's slow down and make it last

Like the first time
'Cause the first time
Never really left my mind
Came looking for the things we used to find
In Ensenada

Come looking for the things we used to find
In Ensenada

"Hold me"
She said, "Need Me"
She said, "Love me"
She said "Make it last until tomorrow"

Darling
You need me
The world is moving much to fast
Let's slow down

Come on and
She said, "Hold Me"
She said, "Need Me"
She said, "Love me"
"And make it last until tomorrow"

Darling
Believe me
Love me
We'll make it last until tomorrow

Darling
Believe me
She said, "Love me"
"Make it last until tomorrow"
Hold me and need me
She said, "Love me"
"Just make it last until tomorrow"

"In My Lifetime"

"In My Lifetime"

Hey boy, you got the address
On the street of unknowns
Big man smokin' on a cigar,
Dealin' on the telephone
Hey boy, look out for flim-flam
If you wanna go real far
Been there, and I believe
You got to be what you are
In my lifetime, In my lifetime

Hey boy, you look like a million
Hey now, show 'em what you got
Hey boy, what you got to run from?
I'll teach you all that I forgot
In my lifetime, In my lifetime

Hey boy, when you write a rock tune,
You give up a piece of your soul
Stay boy, underneath a rockin' moon
Try before you get too old
Hooray, got yourself a road gig
Any gig's gonna be fine
Okay, you gave up your real life,
And I know why

In my lifetime, I have been there
I have dreamed it
In my lifetime, L - I - F - E
In my T - I - M - E
In my lifetime
(Holly Holy Love)(Shilo when I was young)
In my lifetime, In my lifetime........

"In The Still Of The Night"

"In The Still Of The Night"

In the still of the night
As I gaze from of my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts all stray to you

In the still of the night
While the world is in slumber
Oh the times without number
Darling when I say to you

Do you love me
As I love you
Are you my life to be
My dream come true
Or will this dream of mine
Fade out of sight
Like that moon growing dim
On the rim of the hill
In the chill, still of the night

Do you love me
As I love you
Are you my life to be
My dream come true
Or will this dream of mine
Fade out of sight
Like that moon growing dim
On the rim of the hill
In the chill, still of the night
