"The Miracle Song"

"The Miracle Song"

All my life
I've been a kind of lonely man
Searching high and low
Looking for my way
Then all at once
I saw you right in front of me
I knew right then and there
My lonely days were through

You're just a rose
That shimmers in the sun
And now I know
My life has just begun
You are the sweetest thing
That could ever, ever be
And you're a miracle to me

You fill my life
With tenderness and harmony
I never thought
That I'd be laughing once again
You fill the room
With something warm and wonderful
I can't imagine life
Without your precious love

You're just a rose
That shimmers in the sun
And now I know
My life has just begun
You are the sweetest thing
That could ever, ever be
And you're a miracle to me

Rivers bend rivers flow
Till the end of time
They keep flowing
Through eternity
Take me there
Sail away
Take me to the sea
You're a river that flows inside of me

You're just a rose
That shimmers in the sun
And now I know
My life has just begun
You are the sweetest thing
That I could ever, ever see
And you're a miracle to me

"The Other Side Of Me"

"The Other Side Of Me"

You think you know me pretty well,
But how can you tell,
You never get inside my head.
The times we talk, we never speak,
We play hide and seek
So many things are left unsaid.

Why can't you see
What's on the other side of me,
The side of me that reaches out to you.
Sweet thoughts and dreams,
Like drops of rain on rippling streams
That wind and bend,
Rivers with no end,
Flowing on the other side of me.

It seems I always get unstrung
I trip on my tongue
With words that come out somethin' else.
I'm so afraid the things I say
Might chase you away,
I have to hide behind myself.

Why can't you see
What's on the other side of me,
The side of me that reaches out to you.
Why must I hide
These feelings that have been denied.
Only you can set me free
See what's on the other side of me.

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 la la
I have to hide behind myself.

Why can't you see
What's on the other side of me,
The side of me that reaches out to you.
Why must I hide
These feelings that have been denied.
Only you can set me free
See what's on the other side of me,
On the other side of me,
On the other side of me.

"The Queen Of 1964"

"The Queen Of 1964"

Anyone who's played on a record date
Will remember Stage Door Jenny
Well, I saw her last night and man
She looked like she wasn't gettin' any (Ahh)
Rock and roll kinda took its toll
When she shed her inhibitions
Too many scenes in limousines
And dressing room intermissions

She was the queen of 1964
But the truth of the matter is
Nobody wants her anymore
There was a time she could've shown you how
But nobody wants an overage groupie now

When it came to a superstar
Jenny was a braggart
Spread it all around to everyone in town
That she once had Mick Jagger (Ooh)
There's no doubt when the truth comes out
True love will over conquer
She didn't get Mick but she got a kick
And a black eye from Bianca

She was the queen of 1964
What a pity she became a shadow of
The girl she was before
She passed her prime, it seems a shame somehow
But nobody wants an overage groupie now

De-da-da-da-da-de-da-da
De-da-da-da-da
De-da-da-da-da-de-da-da
De-da-da-da-da
De-da-da-da-da-de-da-da
De-da-da-da-da
De-da-da-da-da-de-da-da
De-da-da-da-da

I'm afraid that the Morning Trade
Had a sad obiturary
There'll be no more Jenny at the door
They took her to the cemetery (Ahh)
Just an autograph book and a stereo
There was no one she was close ta
She was found with her arms around
An Elvis Presley poster

She was the queen of 1964
Tonight there'll be a moment of silence
At the Troubadour
There was a time she could've shown you how
But nobody wants an overage groupie now
But nobody wants an overage groupie now

De-da-da-da-da-de-da-da
De-da-da-da-da
De-da-da-da-da-de-da-da
De-da-da-da-da
Ba-ba-oom-a-moow-moow

"The Same Old Fool"

"The Same Old Fool"

I haven't changed, I'm still the same old me,
Yes I'm still the same old fool I used to be.

I thought this heart of mine would never miss you,
I thought this heart of mine would never cry.
I told myself I'd get along without you,
But I realise I told myself a lie.
I'm still the same old fool I used to be,
I think of you and suddenly I'm helpless.
I haven't changed, I'm still the same old me,
Yes I'm still the same old fool I used to be.

Although you've got the kind of love that hurts me,
Oh what I'd give if we could start again.
If I could hold you close for just a moment,
I'd gladly let you break my heart again.
I'm still the same old fool I used to be,
I think of you and suddenly I'm helpless.
I haven't changed, I'm still the same old me,
Yes I'm still the same old fool I used to be,
Yes I'm still the same old fool I used to be.

"The Way I Am"

"The Way I Am"

Stormy sky before me,
Heavy winds are blowin',
I'm a mean old man, heaven help me for the way I am.

Livin' up the good times,
Sufferin' the bad times,
Tryin' to make it easy on myself
Treadin' on a fine line.
Stormy sky before me,
Heavy winds are blowin',
I'm a mean old man, heaven help me for the way I am.

In and out of trouble,
Up and down with women,
Lord I get so damn confused sometimes,
Starts my head to spin yeah.
Father get your shotgun, yeah,
Mother warn your children,
Tell 'em I'm a mean old man, heaven help me for the way I am.

Make no appointments for me,
Make no excuses for me,
You might not like me much
But you know you can't ignore me.

Join me when I'm singin', oooh,
Help me when I'm screamin',
Find me when my mind is almost gone
From drinkin' and a'dreamin'.
Drag me from the bar room,
Take me up to your room.
Tell ya, I'm a mean old man, heaven help me for the way I am.

Join me when I'm singin', oooh,

Tell ya, I'm a mean old man, heaven help me for the way I am,

"The World Through A Tear"

"The World Through A Tear"

Grass is green
Like I've never seen
Sky above was never so blue
Now here am I
No one standing near
It's a lonely world
Such a lonely world

The world through a tear
From days gone by
The world through a tear
Too slow to dry
The world through a tear
The tear I cry

Just last year
We wandered here
And dreamed a dream
That never would die
Now only me
Hopin' she'll appear
It's a lonely world
Such a lonely world

The world through a tear
From days gone by
The world through a tear
Too slow to dry
The world through a tear
The tear I cry

"Tit For Tat"

"Tit For Tat"

Baby you're just a user,
I know you've been running around.
Well girl I'm not the loser you think,
I ain't nobody's clown.
You're not gonna get the best of me,
there are three or four girls I got on a string,
tonight I'm going out and I'll do my thing.
What do you think of that.
Tit for tat. Tit for tat.

Baby I mean to show you
messing round doesn't pay.
You're gonna get back what I owe you in spades,
double trouble's coming your way.
You're not gonna get the best of me,
when I make up my mind, I'm a go-getter,
I can do what you do, but I do it much better.
What do you think of that.
Tit for tat. Tit for tat.

What's good for the goose
is good for the gander,
and I'm gonna do myself right.
Baby you'll discover
I'm some kind of lover,
the barn door's open tonight.

Girl you're just a hassle,
kicking my heart around.
A man's home is his castle of love
but you tore the damn thing down.
You're not gonna get the best of me, no,
I'm splitting the scene, gonna have me some fun,
tonight number two is gonna be number one.
What do you think of that.
Tit for tat. Tit for tat.

You're not gonna get the best of me,
I'm splitting the scene, gonna have me some fun,
tonight number two is gonna be number one.
What do you think of that.
Tit for tat.
I'm telling you,
what do you think of that.
Tit for tat.

"Tu Non Lo Sai"

"Tu Non Lo Sai"

Too ru ru down, doo be doo down down
Coma coma down, doo be doo down down
Coma coma down, doo be doo down down
Breaking up is hard to do
Tu non lo sai
Che senza te
Anche il sole non riscalda più,
Non esiste nulla più...
È tutto vuoto intorno a me...
Tu non lo sai
Che senza te
È difficile per me pensar
Alle cose d'ogni dì...
È tutto vuoto intorno a me...
Difficile è lasciarsi
Tu lo sai!
Non restiamo in miseria così
Soltanto abbracciati al dolor,
Ricominciamo tutto come fosse nuovo quest'amor!
Tu non lo sai
Che senza te
Ogni cosa non esiste più,
Anche il sole non scalda più...
È tutto vuoto intorno a me...
(Difficile è lasciarsi
Tu lo sai!)
Non restiamo in miseria così
(soltanto abbracciati al dolor,)
Ricominciamo tutto come fosse nuovo quest'amor!
Tu non lo sai
Che senza te
Ogni cosa non esiste più,
Anche il sole non scalda più...
È tutto vuoto intorno a me...
Too ru ru down, doo be doo down down
Coma coma down, doo be doo down down

Coma coma down, doo be doo down down
Coma coma down, doo be doo down down...

"Waiting For Never"

"Waiting For Never"

Do you remember
All that you told me,
That you would love me and never leave me.
I can remember
You used to hold me,
How could I know then you would deceive me.
You have broken the promise
That you'd love me for ever,
Now I'm waiting for never, never, never.

Here I stand waiting, waiting for never,
Knowing that never comes all too soon.

Never is lonely, never is sorrow.
If I could only hold back tomorrow,
Our last moment together could have lasted for ever
But I'm waiting for never, never, never.

Here I stand waiting, waiting for never,
Knowing that never comes all too soon, it comes too soon, it comes too soon...

"Waking Up Is Hard To Do"

"Waking Up Is Hard To Do"

You slept your night now it's morning time
That's the time to rise and shine
Don't you cry and don't be blue
Wakin' up is hard to do

Just brush your teeth and then get dressed
When you comb your hair you'll look the best
Now you know it's really true
Wakin' up is hard to do

They say that wakin' up is hard to do
Wear a smile don't you be blue
Just wipe the sleep from your eyes
Instead of going back to bed
You got to stretch and face the day

Just listen to the birdies sing
And the flowers that await the spring
Rise and shine, you're dreaming's through
Wakin' up is hard to do

They say that wakin' up is hard to do
Wear a smile don't you be blue
Just wipe the sleep from your eyes
Instead of going back to bed
You got to stretch and face the day

Just listen to the birdies sing
And the flowers that await the spring
Rise and shine, you're dreaming's through
Wakin' up is hard to do
