"My Prayer"

"My Prayer"


When the twilight is gone and no songbirds are singing
When the twilight is gone you come into my heart
And here in my heart you will stay while I pray

My prayer is to linger with you
At the end of the day in a dream that's divine
My prayer is a rapture in blueWith the world far away
And your lips close to mine

Tonight while our hearts are aglow
Oh, Why don't you to tell me the words that I'm longing to know

My prayer and the answer you give
May they still be the same for as long as we live
That you'll always be there
At the end of my prayer

"Never"

"Never"


From the first time that I heard you I knew
I'd be hooked on you forever like the blues
People told me you would hurt me, so untrue
Cos after all these years, you're the one thing thats still here
Cos of you there's no alone
You've been with me through it all

[Chorus:]
Never Never Never Never gonna give you up
running through my blood
Never Never Never Never leaving you behind
Always on my mind
Can't get enough of your highs and your lows
You take me places where nobody goes
And if you went away, I would never be the same

Oh your sweetness is like sugar on my lips
When you're not around its your melody that I miss
Like an old friend you come back to me so quick
And after all this time I've still got you in my life
You and me we're going strong
You and me we still belong

[Chorus x3]

"Never Had A Lady Before"

"Never Had A Lady Before"


I've had girls and I've had women
But I've never had a lady before
I been high and I been flyin
But I've never been this crazy before
Saying sweet things that I really wanna hear
And it's coming as no surprise
Whatever we got is oh so hard to find
I realize too that a something like you
Doesn't come along everyday
And I'm turning over part of my mind to you now
I been loved, been befriended
But I never really bled before
I've seen brains and I've seen brilliance
But I never got 'em through my head before
Could've been a week or it could've been an hour
It could've been a thousand years
When I'm with you baby I'm losing my track of time
A little bit of me and a little bit of you
Is telling me to have no fears
And I'm turning over part of my mind to ya honey

[Chorus:]
Oooo Ooooo Emotion just can't be denied
Oooo Ooooo Feelin only comes when we're side by side
I've had girls and I've had women
But I never had a lady before
Hey na na na
Never had a lady before
Hey no lady
Never had a lady before
Ahh ahhh ahhh
Never had a lady before
Hey now you're doin' it, whatever ya do I'm gonna like it
Never had a lady before
Don't know what you're doin' but you keep on doin' it baby
Never had a lady before

"Never Tear Us Apart"
(performed with Natalie Imbruglia, originally by INXS)



[Natalie Imbruglia:]
Don't ask me
What you know is true
I don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart

[Tom Jones:]
I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided

[Both:]
And they could never tear us apart

[Tom Jones:]
We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears

[Imbruglia:]
I told you
Mm, that we could fly
Because we all have wings
But some of us don't know why

[Tom Jones:]
I
I was standing

[Imbruglia:]
You were there
Two worlds collided

[Both:]
And they could never, ever tear us apart

I (Don't ask me)
I was standing (You know it's true)
You were there (Worlds collided)
Two worlds collided (Come shining through)
And they could never tear us apart

You don't ask me (You were standing)
You know it's true (Mm, I was standing)
Two worlds collided (Two worlds collided)
Were shining through
And they could never tear us apart

I (Don't ask me)
I was standing (You know it's true)
You were there (Worlds collided)
Two worlds collided (Come shining through)
And they could never tear us apart

"Nobody's Fault But Mine"

"Nobody's Fault But Mine"


Nobody's fault but mine
Nobody's fault but mine
If I die and my soul be lost
Nobody's fault but mine

I said, "I had mother who could pray
I had mother who could pray"

If I die and my soul be lost
Nobody's fault but mine, yeah
Oh mine, yeah now

I had mother who could sing
I had mother who could sing

If I die and my soul be lost
It's nobody's fault but mine
Nobody's fault but mine
Nobody's fault but mine

If I die and my soul be lost now
If I die and my soul be lost now
If I die and my soul be lost now
If I die and my soul be lost
Nobody's fault but mine

"Nothing Rhymed"

"Nothing Rhymed"


If I give up the seat I've been saving
To some elderly lady or man
Am I being a good boy
Am I your pride and joy
Mother please if your pleased say I am
And if while in the course of my duty
I perform an unfortunate take
Would you punish me so, unbelievably so
Never again will I make that mistake
This feeling inside me could never deny me
The right to be wrong if I choose
And this pleasure I get
From say winning a bet
Is to lose
When I'm drinking my Bonaparte Shandy
Eating more than enough apple pies
Will I glance at my screen and see real human beings
Starve to death -
Right in front of my eyes
Nothing old, nothing new, nothing ventured
Nothing gained, nothing still-born or lost
Nothing further than proof nothing wilder than youth
Nothing older than time nothing sweeter than wine
Nothing physically, recklessly, hopelessly blind
Nothing I couldn't say
Nothing why 'cos today
Nothing rhymed

"Once You Hit The Road"

"Once You Hit The Road"


You come home with lipstick stains all over your face
Tell me no lies
Cuz your friends been call
Seems you've been out on a date
What good is home
If you can't be true to
The one that's been giving you love
When times get rough
And you say you need me
I'm gunna fix I'll never do it your way

Once you hit the road baby
There ain't no, ain't no turnin' back
Once you hit the road baby
There ain't no, ain't no turnin' back

So it's good-bye
And I'll see you later
There's nothing for you to say
Give up
Don't hang around
Now that love is over
Cuz you'll be wasting my time
How can it last
When your heart don't need the love that it needed before
I feel so bad
Cuz I'm not the someone your time has been for
Is she giving you more

Once you hit the road baby
There ain't no, ain't no turnin' back
Once you hit the road baby
There ain't no, ain't no turnin' back

"One Man Woman"

"One Man Woman"


You caught me fooling around with somebody new
You caught me fooling around now I'm losing you
'Cause you're a one man woman
You're a one man woman
You're a one man woman
But I'm a two timing man

The nights you left me alone
And you disappeared
The nights your voice on the phone
Said I'm waiting here

'Cause I'm a one man woman
Yes, you're a one man woman
'Cause I'm a one man woman
But I'm a two timing man

Oh Baby you know I'm sorry
Oh sure, it's the same old story
I keep coming back
And I let you
'Cause I'd rather forgive than forget you

Now I won't need no chains to tie me down
You lost you're way my love
But now you've found
That I'm a one man woman
Yes, you're a one man woman
Oh,I'm a one man woman
But I'm a two timing man

I'm a one man woman
I'll be your one woman man
You're a one man woman
I'm a one woman man
Yes, you're a one man woman
You're a one woman man...

"One Night"

"One Night"


One night with you
Is what I'm now prayin' for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true
Just call on me
And I'll be right by your side
I need your sweet heavy hand
My love's too strong to hide
Always lived a very quiet life
I ain't never done no wrong
Now I know life without you
Has been too long, too long
One night with you
Is what I'm now prayin' for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true

"Only In America"

"Only In America"


Only in America
Can a guy from anywhere
Go to sleep a pauper and wake up a millionaire
Only in America
Can a kid without a cent
Get a break and maybe grow up to be President
Only in America
Land of opportunity, yea-a-a-a
Would a classy girl like you fall for a poor boy like me
Only in America
Can a kid who's washin' cars
Take a giant step and reach right up and touch the stars
Only in America
Could a dream like this come true
Could a guy like me start with nothing and end up with you
Only in America
Land of opportunity, yeah
Would a classy girl like you fall for a poor boy like me
Only in America (poor boy like me)
Only in America (only in America)
Only in America (only in America)
Only in America (only in America)
Only in America (only in America)
Only in America
