In her bare feet, white cotton dress
A ribbon holding back her curls
In a sweet gentle voice, she sings a lullaby
To two sleepy little girls
In the nightlight glow as her babies drift off
She looks so fragile, looks so so soft

[Chorus:]
She's strong
Solid as a rock
Like a lighthouse standing alone
She's strong got the world on her shoulders
She keeps carring on
She can take the heat, she can take the cold winter
She's got faith there's no quit in her
She's strong
Yeah so strong

There's a crayon picture says 'We love you mom'
She keeps it in a frame on her desk
There's a friend of a friend
Who calls now and then
But she's not ready just yet
She might get lonely in the still of the night
But she'll hold out till she knows it's right

[Chorus]

And sometimes when nobody else is around
She gets down
And sometimes in a moment of weakness
A single tear falls, and that's all

She's strong
She's strong
She can take the heat she can take the cold winter
She's got faith there's no quit in her
She's strong
Yeah so strong
She's strong
Yeah so strong

Barely old enough, to call it love,
Showin off, skippin rocks across, the water,
Stones, I handed one to you,
You put it in your pocket,
Said you loved it, said you'd keep it

Forever, Stones

[Chorus]

One by one, they mark our passage,
Along this winding road we're on,
With each turn we take,
From the craddle to the grave,
Our lives are paved with stones,

A tiny velvet box,
One perfect little rock,
A little thing, just a ring,
But it says marry me,
Stones, we'll build ourselves a home,
Where loves a corner stone,
We'll have children, they'll have children,
Untill they roll off on their own,
Like stones

[Chorus]

One by one, they mark our passage,
Along this winding road we're on,
With each turn we take,
From the craddle to the grave,
Our lives are paved with.

[Bridge]

Birth stones stepping stones,
Skipping rocks, and dodging lots of
Sticks and stones,
And I've been on both sides of throwing stones

Years are like the wind,
Their here and gone and then,
They'll blow away, our every trace,
All except our names, engraved in,
Stones

[Chorus]

One by one, they mark our passage,
Along this winding road we're on,
With each turn we take,
From the craddle to the grave,
Our lives are paved with stones

He was sitting' there, his brush in hand
Painting' waves as they danced, upon the sand
With every stroke, he brought to life
The deep blue of the ocean, against the morning' sky
I asked him if he only painted ocean scenes
He said for twenty dollars, I'll paint you anything

Could you Paint Me A Birmingham
Make it look just the way I planned
A little house on the edge of town
Porch going' all the way around
Put her there in the front yard swing
Cotton dress make it, early spring
For a while she'll be, mine again
If you can Paint Me A Birmingham

He looked at me, with knowing eyes
Then took a canvas from a bag there by his side
Picked up a brush, and said to me
Son just where in this picture would you like to be
And I said if there's any way you can
Could you paint me back into her arms again?

Could you Paint Me A Birmingham
Make it look just the way I planned
A little house on the edge of town
Porch going' all the way around
Put her there in the front yard swing
Cotton dress make it, early spring
For a while she'll be, mine again
If you can Paint Me A Birmingham

Paint Me A Birmingham
Make it look just the way I planned
A little house on the edge of town
Porch going' all the way around
Put her there in the front yard swing
Cotton dress make it, early spring
For a while she'll be, mine again
If you can Paint Me A Birmingham

Oh paint me a Birmingham

I'm on a white line runnin' down the interstate.
Tryin' to wipe away the rain that's runnin' down my face.
Goin' any old ware, any old place, just some place else.
By now you know, that I'm not there, and if you don't know why.
Well, can't you see the tears it took for me to say good-bye.

Yeah, I left a few on your old sweater.
I watched them fall on a love sick letters
and I cried a river, cried a mile wide one
I'd even cried some crocodile ones.
But from out here you can't hear me callin'.
and you won't see me when I start fallin',
Cause this time, baby the next time, that I do,
I'll be a far cry from you.

In a moment of truth, it's a matter of fact.
There's only one way to go, and that ain't goin' back.
So I ain't stopped since I stopped for gas, a hundred miles ago.
And right now I'm caught somewhere between gone and gone for good.
And these tears will dry, but there have been times I wondered if they would.

Yeah, I left a few on your old sweater.
I watched them fall on a love sick letters
and I cried a river, cried a mile wide one
I'd even cried some crocodile ones.
But from out here you can't hear me callin'.
And you won't see me when I start fallin',
Cause this time, baby the next time, that I do,
I'll be a far cry from you.

Yeah, from out here you can't hear me callin'.

Bobby Darwin's daughter looks up from the bible she's been reading to the clock on her dirty wall of a double wide, its 3 am. Her husbands on the town shooting pool or foolin round, or all of the above it doesn't matter anymore, she can't get through to him, seems like only yesterday they were married in a chapel. Candlelight the whole nine yards, honeymoon in Vegas, they settled down. Now its lonely nights and hungry kids, she just keeps on looking for the life that's not the life she's living now.

Bobby Darwin's daughter used to ask her father where Santa Clause and babies and God came from, and as she's gotten older all those easy answers are somewhere between here and kingdom come, and in her darkest hours Bobby Darwin's daughter wishes she could go back when, she'd ask where god came from instead of wondering where he's been.

Bobby Darwin's daughter dropping off the kids driving home in the pouring rain sudden skid and just like that she's clinging to her life, her husband rushes in the tiny room and through his tears whispers I love you, baby please don't leave me now, you're my only life, he bows his head and prays aloud this one thing I promise, if I could get just one more chance to be the man I should have been Ill be that man, she awakens to another world, stares into his grateful eyes of love, she smiles at him he takes her hand.

Bobby Darwin's daughter used to ask her father where Santa Clause and babies and God came from, and as she's gotten older all those easy answers are somewhere between here and kingdom come, and in her darkest hours Bobby Darwin's daughter never saw till now that she was wrong about where God came from and that he's been here all along.

Some take to drinkin'
Some take to usin'
Dont't matter what poison they choose
Some hit rock bottom, lose every dollar
Some get thier hearts broke in two
It's a long way down
And a hard road back

[Chorus:]
When you've been through hell
Played with fire
Watched the devil dance
You thank the Lord for each morning
For one more second chance
You might outrun your demons
You might get on with your life
But you never forget what the flames feel like

I know temtation is out their waiting
To lure me back into her arms
But I wont surender 'cause I remember
How her kisses branded my heart
So I walk away 'cause the fire still burns

[Chorus]

If you follow the straight and narrow
I know it might be hard to relate
But if you've been their like I've been their
Your carefull with each step you take
It's a long way down
And a hard road back

[Chorus]

First year med tech, 2 AM
On the graveyard shift a call comes in
A senseless killin'
Blue lights flashin', white chalk line
I still get queasy but I'll be fine
The good Lord willin'
I searched my heart but I don't have a clue
For the evil that men do

[Chorus:]
So think of me while you're safe at home tonight
Think of me while you hold your loved ones tight
I'm someone you might never need
But before you drift off to sleep
When you pray the Lord a soul to keep
Think of me

Midnight, back of a high school gym
The drug dealers think I'm one of them
Their new connection
Car trunk opens, the deal goes down
The cops take a risk on this side of town
With no protection
My throat goes dry at all that I could lose
If I make one wrong move

[Chorus]

I'm climbing the stairs in a warehouse fire
I'm savin' a child from what's left of a car
Jumpin' out of a chopper so a sailor survives
I'm flyin' a fighter jet up to the stars

I'm someone you might never need
But before you drift off to sleep
When you pray the Lord a soul to keep
Think of me
Think of me
Think of me

Imagine that your heart would beat for me
you know that I'm waiting patiently
till you're by my side
every day; every night
baby you're the one I need can't you see
you know my heart is beating just for you
baby I don't seem to find the clue
to be by your side
every day and every night
but I feel my heart is aching without you

Maybe I'll be the one
if you want me here to stay
Maybe I'll be the one
to guide you all the way
No I'm never gonna hurt you
you're always on my mind
and I'll be the one untill the end of time

Sure there is a way for you and me
together and forever it will be
I'll be by your side
every day and every night
but I'll feel my heart is aching without you

Maybe I'll be the one
if you want me here to stay
Maybe I'll be the one
to guide you all the way
No I'm never gonna hurt you
you're always on my mind
and I'll be the one until the end of time

I wonder who you are
And if you feel alright
Oh can you hear me talking
My unborn little child
For your mother and me
Life won't be the same
I try to give my best for you
As loving as I can
[CHORUS]
Because you're all I have my child
You're my life my joy my pride
And when you need me I'll be there for you
Because you're all I have my child
You're my life my joy and you're my pride
My deepest love
I'll always be with you
I promise to
It's hard to realize
That everything will change
There'll be no day without you child
I feel a little strange
But your mother and me
Give all our love to you
We're looking foward to you babe
Oh God knows that we do
[Chorus]
Oh life will never be the same
This is more than just a game
I'll give you all the love I can

Just another broken heart I miss you
just another last good bye I kiss you
I know I know I know I know
I know you're gone
Just another rainy day in heaven
Just another stupid thing that happened
I've tried I've tried I've tried I've tried to let you go
Just another lonely teardrop cried in vain
(I'm gonna miss you; gonna miss you; gonna)
just another happy ending in the rain
(I'm gonna miss you; gonna miss you; gonna)

Is it love; is it love
is there something in the air
is it love when I'm feeling that my life ain't fair
is it love; is it love
is there something I should know
is it love when I have to let you
let you go; let go

Just another endless road without you
just another lonely dream about you
I've cried; I've cried; I've cried; I've cried
now it's too late (baby; baby)
just another lonely teardrop cried in vain
(I'm gonna miss you; gonna miss you; gonna)
just another happy ending in the rain
(I'm gonna miss you; gonna miss you; gonna)

Is it love; is it love
is there something in the air
is it love when I'm feeling that my life ain't fair
is it love; is it love
is there something I should know
is it love when I have to let you
let you go; let go

Take me to the river
Take me to the top of the world
Take me to the ocean
Gonna take you down in
diamonds and pearls
[*]
And your love's driving me insane
Make me smile in the pouring rain
Lay me down in the bed of roses
But never never let me go
[CHORUS]
Standing on the edge of a heartache
Standing on the edge of my life
Everybody needs some loving
Deep inside I need you over and over (again)
[Chorus]
Try me in the morning
Try me late at night on the phone
Try a little harder
I try to rock you down to the bone

Isn't it true - what I heard about you
Isn't it true - that your love has gone and you're alone now
Tell me is it true - you feel so blue
And isn't it true - that you need a helping hand right now
Isn't it true
[*]
When fire meets the water
All of your loving
Is Leading to an end - to an end
[CHORUS]
There's another time and another place
There's another smile and another face
And when you see the end of a rainbow
There will be someone like me
Another time and another place
There's another love and another moment
Make it happen for a lifetime
There will be someone like me
(There will be someone like me)
And someone - someone like you
Isn't it true all this things about you
Isn't it true - that a broken heart needs to mend now
Tell me is it true - there's someone new
And isn't it true - that you need to move along now
[(*) & Chorus]
Just take my hand I'm there for you

We agreed that it was over
now the lines have all been drawn
the vows we made begin to fade but now they're gone
put your pictures in a showbox
and my goldring in the drawer
I'm not supposed to love you anymore
now Sherry says she's jealous
of this freedom that I found
she would be; she would be out of the town
and she says she can't imagine
what on earth I'm waiting for
I'm not supposed to love you anymore

Oh I shouldn't care and wonder where and how you are
but I can hide this hurt inside my broken heart
I'm fighting back emotions that I've never fought before
'cause I'm not supposed to love you anymore

Now I'm writing you this letter
and it's killing me tonight
that I agreed when you believed it wasn't right
and I couldn't sleep up on the bed
so I'm down here on the floor
will I'm not supposed to love you anymore

Oh I shouldn't care and wonder where and how you are
but I can hide this hurt inside my broken heart
I'm fighting back emotions that I've never fought before
'cause I'm not supposed to love you anymore
I'm fighting back emotions I've never fought before
'cause I'm not supposed to love you anymore

Shake the party

Till the break of dawn
Pound for pound
Round and round
Up and down
Up and down

If I close my eyes forever
I know you'll be always there
baby we will stay together
and this branded love we share

Even though you're not around me
babe I know you're not apart
from a distance I'm calling
and I'm sending you my heart

Baby al I gotta do now
is to pray to please hold on
I'm saving all my love for you
till you'll be coming home
I'll be there for you
to brighten up your eyes
I'll be there for you
to make you realise
When I lok into the future
baby all I see is you
I'll be there for you
That all I wanna do

Yes; we've been through
good and bad times
and we know we had it all
there were storms we had to weather
we've been down this road before

As the world just keeps on turning
as the bird that flies so high
as the fire keeps on burning
our love will never die

As I look into the future
baby all I see is you and I'll be there for you
That's all I wanna do

And I'm trying to explain my feelings
Alone here in the dark
Here I am baby
I can't seem to find a clue
I don't know how to say it
All I really want is you

There were times
We let each other down
The words we said they hurt so deep inside
There were times
When love just passed us by
But still I hope you give us one more try
Tell me

How will I know
If you come home again
How long will you take to see
That I'm your man
How will I know
If you come home again

Come home again - Come home again

Come back again - come back again
Here I'm darlling
I hope you understand
That I feel lost without you baby
So come on take my hand
I hardly can remember
God where did I go wrong
Heaven knows that I still love you
Girl I need to kiss you - I'm alone

2 a.m. and the rain is falling
Here we are at the crossroads once again
You're telling me you're so confused
You can't make up your mind
Is this meant to be
You're asking me

But only love can say - try again or walk away
But I believe for you and me
The sun will shine one day
So I'll just play my part
And pray you'll have a change of heart
But I can't make you see it through
That's something only love can do

In your arms as the dawn is breaking
Face to face and a thousand miles apart
I've tried my best to make you see
There's hope beyond the pain
If we give enough, if we learn to trust

[Chorus]

I know if I could find the words
To touch you deep inside
You'd give our dream just one more chance
Don't let this be our good-bye

Everytime our eyes meet
This feeling inside
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams

I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me, baby you surround me
You touch everyplace in my heart
Oh it feels like the first time everytime
I wanna spend the whole night in your eyes

[Chorus]

Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side

And tomorrow is too late
In you I've found
A million reasons I can't wait anymore
And for me it's now or never
I need to start loving you forever baby

I could live on loving you
Holding kissing touching you
You don't know how long I've waited for you
Holding on so I could
Live on loving you

You heard my voice
Through my silence crying out
I am here
Can you feel me reaching out
With my heart as far as I can go
I'll go on if you let me
Cause I'm trying to let you know oh baby

Tell me that the smile I see
The angel eyes
Looking back at me
Telling me you are

Yesterday I held you
Miles away I miss you
And all the love that you gave to me
Time goes by without you
I still dream about you
I won't give up, we are meant to be

I never thought you'd ever be the only one
But there's something telling me that I was wrong

Even when I close my eyes
I can still see your face
Cause baby a love this strong
Time can not erase
Even when I close my eyes
If you knew how much I care
That baby you're always there
Even when I close my eyes

On my lips I still taste
Our last kiss and I pray
There'll come a time to hold you once more
Smile for me and let the whole world see
That our love will never die
It's worth fighting for

I never thought I'd ever have regrets
But there's someting about you I just can't forget

I never knew with you I had it all
Guess I couldn't see the writing that was on the wall
Sometimes you have to go away just to find
That what you're searching for is exactly what you left behind

Two lovers crossed with so much unspoken
I can't pretend I'm not afraid
Of what we have broken
Baby, after all this time
Do we still say goodnight
Or does it mean goodbye

Don't want to live without your love
My heart would never survive
It hurts too much to give you up
NO, I don't want to live without your love

I believe in you
I'm not a fool who gives up hopin'
Girl I refuse to throw away
All the memories we've made
Baby, can't we compromise
Get thru this night
Try to keep our dream alive

Have I told you lately
Baby you're the one I need
Since I met you baby
I'm not the man I used to be
I never thought to regret
All the things I've said
If I cold turn back the time
I still believe you could be mine

Never again
I'll be the same
Without you by my side
Never before I knew
Soemone justl like you
Never again
I'd be the same
If you believe in love
You are the one for me
You're all I ever need
I still believe

Now the times are changing
I miss the days when we were one
Feeling cold and lonely
Since the day that you've been gone
I never thought I'd regret
All the things I've said
If you'd believe one more time
I'd be yours and you would be mine

And somuch left to show

As long as you can hold my body tight

With a little smile
You make me feel so right
As long as you are here right by my side

I give it all to you

Lately I've been thinking
About time and how the days went slipping by
How I was always dreaming
Of all the places I would see and go in my life
So many things I meant to do
Until the minute that I first saw you
And I made up my mind
If there's a paradise

I couldn't find my way there
I wouldn't want to stay there
It wouldn't be the same there
Without you
See, I'd have no one to hold there
I'd be all alone there
Even heaven would be nowhere
Without you

Staying here is easy
Cause you know you always keep me satisfied
There's nowhere that I've heard of
That could make me leave your love behind
When you're lying next to me
I'm right here where I want to be
I've made up my mind
If there's a paradise

[Chorus]

An island in the blue sea
A paradise it might be
But that means nothing to me
Without you

I never wanted to fall again
My heart was wounded
From where I'd been before
Then I saw you
I was determined not to feel a thing
Not let it touch me or ever hurt me again
Then I saw you

How could I know
When I saw you
Every thought that I had about love
Would finally come true
How could I know
You'd change my world around
It's all brand new
Since I saw you

I noticed you from across the room
All of my fears disappeared from view
When I saw you
My hearts skipped a beat when I took that first step
I had to touch you before my next breath was through
When I saw you

When the road gets dark and scary
You can stop the world and take my breath away
You can read me like a book
With just one look
You make my day

I know everything about you
All the little things that no one else see
If you're somewhere out there, anywhere
Turn the key and share your dreams with me

Step into my life, 'cause I'm waiting here
Help me to survive, 'cause I need you near
Get there if you can, just no matter fly, run or drive
Come on and step into my life

All the flowers fade without you
And I dream in black & white, 'cause you're not here
So cross that line, give me a sign
'Cause snowflakes fall in June, till you appear

We shared the love we shared the tears
Thought that forever it would be
I realize you lie to me
I still hold on
Still dream of days when we were one
[CHORUS]
You played with my heart
You played with my mind
But I miss you finally
Right from the start
My love made me blind
But I miss you finally
All of these promises you made
This 4 letter word it seems to...
Baby it's hard to understand
Now that you're gone
We reached the end
I still believe
Still dream of days when we were one
[Chorus 3X]
You played with my heart
You played with my mind
Right from the start
My love made me blind

Baby lying here right by your side
Makes me feel I'm home agein
Now that we found love
You're more than a friend
Never thought that love could be so deep
When you came into my life
Now I know without you I can't SURVIVE
When you're looking at me
Tell me what do you see
Babe I hope you understand
There's no one like you
The things that you do
Girl they turn me inside out
There's no one like you
Oh I never knew
I need you now
You're all that I want
I can't get enough
So babe I keep prayin'
To heaven above
There's no one like you
Girl when I remember days without you
When my life was sad and grey
They ended up the moment
You crossed my way
As long as you will love me baby I know
I'll be always there for you OUr love will grow
Oh darling you'll see it's true

I need a sign to let me know you're here
All of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphere
I need to know that things are gonna look up
'Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup

When there is no place safe and no safe place to put my head
When you feel the world shake from the words that are said

[Chorus:]
And I'm calling all angels
I'm calling all you angels

I won't give up if you don't give up [Repeat x4]

I need a sign to let me know you're here
'Cause my TV set just keeps it all from being clear
I want a reason for the way things have to be
I need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me

[Chorus]

When children have to play inside so they don't disappear
While private eyes solve marriage lies cause we don't talk for years
And football teams are kissing Queens
and losing sight of having dreams
In a world that what we want is only what we want until it's ours

[Chorus x2]

Calling all you angels [Repeat till fade]

To be that good, it must be taxin'
No such thing as satisfaction
You're makin' things happen while I'm relaxin'
Like a Sunday afternoon
My dad used to tell me I was lazy
I got dance moves like Patrick Swayze
I'm the left over turkey for the world's mayonnaisey
The star next to the moon

Now I know I'm just here to amuse you
And I don't mean to abuse you
But if I could just use you one time

Tell me what it's like
To be the queen of it all
The Neiman Marcus of the Mall
And tell me what it's like to be the one and only
All American Girl

Now I never had a supernatural feelin'
Not to mention a sexual healin'
But every now and then I get to the kneelin'
To thank him for it all
But you probably got some inside connection
So many numbers that you gotta rolodex them
So much muscle that you never gotta flex them
To catch you when you fall

And I know I'm just here to amuse you
And I don't mean to confuse you
But if I could just use you one more time

Tell me what it's like to be the house on the hill
The number one diet pill
And tell me what it's like to be the one and only
All American Girl

Now I bet you won't say you get crazy
Or that you don't shave your legs
When you're lazy
Or that you're just like everybody else in the world
You just got lucky, that's all

And I know you're not here to amuse me
But you sure know how to confuse me
So if I could just ask you once again

To tell me what it's like to be a star on the rise
A breakfast cereal prize
And tell me what it's like to be the one and only
All American Girl
The All American Girl
The all amazing crazy girl

[Verse 1]
When it rains it pours and opens doors
And floods the floors we thought would always keep us safe and dry
And in the midst of sailing ships we sink our lips into the ones we love
That have to say goodbye

[Chorus:]
And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that won't seem to let me go

Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here

[Verse 2]
And every word I didn't say that caught up in some busy day
And every dance on the kitchen floor we didn't have before
And every sunset that we'll miss I'll wrap them all up in a kiss
And pick you up in all of this when I sail away

[Chorus:]
And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that I hope will never leave

[Verse 3]
Whether I am up or down or in or out or just plane overhead
Instead it just feels like it is impossible to fly
But with you I can spread my wings
to see me over everything that life may send me
When I am hoping it won't pass me by

And when I feel like there is no one that will ever know me
there you are to show me

Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here [X2]

Ten pounds too much to the naked eye
I don't take the bus because she drives
Watermelon lipstick, and way too much
She got buttermilk smile and a thorny touch
Street smart, like a Courtney Love
Can't get enough Hollywood stories of
Anybody famous that can make her feel
Like they're all kinda friends in a way
No best friend, well one but she's crazy
Grew up to end up a Professor of lazy
The last of six kids that all left town
Seems nobody ever wanted them around
But she's cool like a soda can sittin' on ice
Always orders sushi, only eats the rice
Talks about J Lo like they're best of friends
I think she loves me, but it all depends

Hey baby, I don't wanna be your Superman
I just wanna be your man and I'll be super, baby
You'll be standin' in the sun shine
I'll be standin' right here in the rain
You save me and I will save the day

I got a sweet gig rakin' in the cash with karaoke
I get the crowd goin' when I sing the hokey pokey
I shake it to the
left and then I shake it to the right
What's not to love, man I'm on tonight
I got the LA stylie with the New York trim
Keep my pants so low
It's like I'm goin' for a swim
I got the Coppertone tan, like in Mexico
Well, not now but when I go, yea

I know you don't see me like a movie star
And it can't help much that I don't have no car
But you're my favorite thing, by far
That's gotta count for something

Why you gotta treat me like I'm a low down dirty
Climbin' up on thirty
Dress like a kid to make me feel young punk
And talk junk
You musta fell out of your bunk
And smacked your head
Or your face or somethin'

I don't need nobody flyin' in my jet stream
Take the bus
Go on and get yourself your own dream

This is my own life keepin' me down
Where I wanna be in my private nation
I'm alone all thinkin' life's a phone call
Here for just a while when in my private nation
You can ride or you can go

Why you gonna step on shoes
When you don't know whose been in 'em
Have you ever been more than a bump
On a rock that likes to roll
In the middle of a soup bowl in the sky
Use your eyes
It's all you got till you die

I don't need nobody flyin' in my jet stream
Take the bus
Go on and get yourself your own dream

You can ride on, it ain't free
Leave a light on, so you can see
How to get back when you go

How to get, how to give
How to make ends meet
How to lose, how to win
How to stay on the seat
How to use momentum to keep the two wheels straight
How to wait after it feels like you waited so long

Well an airplane's faster than a Cadillac
And a whole lot smoother than a camel's back
But I don't care how you get to me
Just get to me
Parasail or first class mail
Get on the back of a Nightingale
Just get to me I don't care just get to me
Prokeds, mopeds take a limousine instead
They ain't cheap but they're easy to find
Get on the highway point yourself my way
Take a roller coaster that comes in sideways
Just get to me - yeah

Go on hitch a ride on the back
of a butterfly
There's no better way to fly
To get to me
I look around at what I got
And without you, it ain't a lot
But I got every, with you, everything

Maybe you could pollinate over the
Golden Gate
Take a left hand turn at the corner
Of Haight
And then a sharp right
At the first street light
And get yourself on a motor bike
And if you think you'll get stuck in a
traffic jam
That's fine, send yourself through a telephone line
It doesn't matter how you get to me
Just get to me

Cause after every day
The wind blows the night time my way
And I imagine that you are
Above me like a star
And you keep on glowing
And you keep on showing me the way
SHINE SHINE SHINE

I put ketchup on my scrambled eggs
And everybody thinks it's funny
I don't get mad
I don't laugh cause you don't shave your legs
But everybody thinks it's funny

No need to get mad
I don't spend my time with anyone
Who doesn't think I'm wonderful
Or somewhat cash refundable at times

Now I'm out here counting airplanes
Trying to make sense of the change
And I don't wanna be just anybody
So don't try to figure me out
I won't try to figure you out

I don't wanna be some average anybody
Now I got friends that ride into the storm
And ride out of the storm with nothing
They rode into the storm with

And there seems to be a price for everything
You get what you pay for then you pay for
What you already thought you bought before

When you're up between the new sky line
The city lights and the warm sunshine
It's a long way down
When you can count on one hand what you love
And can count on who you love to help you on your long way down

You end up counting airplanes
Trying to keep up with these changes
I don't wanna be with anybody else
So don't try to figure me out
I won't try to figure you out
I don't wanna be some average anybody

Made my exit on the turn pike
I saw the stateside toll and shuffled for some change
I paid a man that talked as if he knew me
And I could see it in his eyes
He could tell that I was running away
What are you waiting for
It's just a minute away
Travel light you might just
Find yourself there for the day
What are you waiting for
It's just a minute away
Following Rita
Following Rita
Stopped to make a call and picked up Elvis
Elvis James McCabe a future millionaire
He wrestled with his thoughts out loud
About two girls that he had left behind
And said for forty five dollars
He could help me on my way and get rich too

There was talk about after high school
I would get a job
Gig at night and she would go to some
Community school
But her father changed jobs
And we cried together
As her plane was flying away
Well the phone never was enough
For us to hold on to
Now every mile that I drive away
Get's me closer to you, yeah

I can see the red, white and free in you
You light the night up like the moon
And underneath your clouds, I see the blue

You're hopeless 'cause you tell the truth
The stars are jealous of your shine
If you were mine
There's not a thing I wouldn't do

You're black and beautiful, yellow, tan
You're white as light and soft as sand
With greens and greys and oh for days
A silver lining on the way you cover everyone
Just like a morning sun
You turn me into someone I would rather be

OOO- I love your every color
OOO- I love your everything
You wear the day around you
Like it's yours to stay around you
Maybe I could stay around you too
If that's alright with you

You're coffee brown and bubble gum pink
And oh I think the shade of you is on the brink
Of changing all the ways I see the world
I could drown inside a single drop
Of all the kinds of things you got
And all the kinds of things I'm not

Might just give me a chance to see
From way up where you are
Above the silent stars
Just dancing in the sky

You're better than any rainbow
You're brighter than the sun
You look like my first day of summer
When my spring is on the run
You're gold and more gold
And you're platinum too
With snow toned, copper attitude
I don't know what I'd do without you
I don't know what I'll do about you

Well I guess this is where I left my life
And all its operations
And I know that I will never get this twice
With all negotiations

This feels like the place between what is and might have been
So I guess this is where we both find out
If this was meant to be
And I'll tell myself, I don't need you
I'll tell myself enough to get me through
But I'll finally show you how I should have been being with you every day
If you can take a little more

Now it takes me back to times on Lincoln Avenue
When you said you'd never get tired of the boy
That seemed to be so far from growing up
But we were different then

This feels like the place between being ready and being in the way
And I'll tell myself, I don't need you
I'll tell myself enough to get me through
But I'll finally show you how I should have been being with you every day
If you can wait a little more

This feels like the time that I'm ready for you
Are you ready for me
'Cause I'll tell myself I'll make it through
I'll tell myself anything to get over you

And I won't blame you but I'm finally ready to show you
That I'm ready to show you, I'm ready to show you, yeah
I'll tell myself that I never needed anybody anyway, but anyway
I need you
I need you now
I need you now
I'm ready now

I can hear you downstairs crying on the phone
Telling someone that I'm here but you still feel all alone
Maybe we were too young
Goodbye, I've gotta go
I can hear the baby waking up
Got to get back to the life I know

I should have never believed him
Maybe I should just leave him

Maybe I'm not but you're all I got left to believe in
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive
And I know that it's been hard
And it's been a long time coming
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive

No one thought I was good enough for you
Except for you
Don't let them be right
After all that we've been through
'Cause somewhere over that rainbow
There's a place for me
A place with you

In every frame upon our wall
Lies a face that's seen it all
Through ups and downs and then more downs
We helped each other off of the ground
No one knows what we've been through
Making it ain't making it without you

You were my ticket outta here
And I was your dream come true
You gave me everything I ever wanted
Except for you

I convinced myself that over don't mean over
And I convinced myself that I could fix it all
Two dreams collided maybe we got too excited for our own good

No more - hold on we can make it
No more holding each other while the words all break it
Move on you know we'll be stronger in the end

Now I convinced myself that nothing could ever tear me away
And I convinced myself that we'd look back and laugh at this one day
Two lives collidin' baby
We got too excited for our own good

No more - hold on we can make it
No more holding our breath while the truth all breaks it
Move on ya know we'll be stronger in the end

Hey wait hey don't you know that this is where the whole thing went wrong
Hey wait hey don't you wanna hear what I have to say
Hey wait hey don't you know that this is where the strong go on

And all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
Was you

No more - hold on we can make it
No more holding each other while the world tries to break us
Move on ya know we'll be stronger in the end

Hey wait hey don't you know that this is where the whole thing went wrong
Hey wait hey don't you wanna hear what I have to say
Hey wait hey don't you know this is where the strong will go on

I know you turned your back on Mother nature,
For everything she puts you through.
She wakes up everyday and tries to Greet you,
I'm hopin' that you'll make it Through.

I caught every morning,
Tried to reach you,
And waited for your Saturday.
With sunshine, divine, I come Running,
I'm a change a' heart away . . .

Get out (Get out)
Get out
Let the Mornin' break in you
Get Out
And I won't (Get out) run unless I'm Running after you.

Thought that he would be a High-class mover.
Well, he's high now mover,
But his class aint new.
You were born to be a ballerina,
So you danced your way to Hollywood.
Well dancin's what you got,
But not like you wanted,
Not like you wanted anything . . .

Get out (Get out)
Get out
Let the Mornin' break in you
Get Out
and I won't (Get out) run unless I'm running after you.

On the big sky, nothing at the top,
so stop and get a good look. . . at this miracle. . .
On the big line, nothin' up above, just love,
so get a good look at this miracle. . .
'Cause this miracle's you . . .
This miracle's you. . .

Get out (Get out)
Get out
Let the Mornin' break in you
Get Out
and I won't (Get out) run unless I'm running after you.

Get out (Get out)

Let the Mornin' break in you
Get Out
and I won't (Get out) run unless I'm running after you.

New York snow this time of year
There's nothing more beautiful to me
Except for you
Making my way on the town
And I'm seeing familiar places, faces
In my pile of coffee grounds

The days are better, the nights are still so lonely
Sometimes I think I'm the only cab on the road
Sometimes I think I'm the only cab on the road

Watching my breath rise in the sun
Pulling myself in two made one
Helplessly feel for my phone and drive away

This new rhythm I pursue
Is just my getting over you
Telling myself that I need to

The days are better, the nights are still so lonely
Sometimes I think I'm the only cab on the road
Sometimes I think I'm the only cab on the road

I'm still looking for a play no one said that it was fair
To be alone

The days are better, the nights are still so lonely
Sometimes I think I'm the only cab on the road

The days are better, the nights are still so lonely
Sometimes I think I'm the only cab on the road
Sometimes I think I'm the only cab on the road

When I find out who I am
I'm gonna know just what to do
When I pull myself together again
I'm gonna give myself to you

Is this forever?
This feelin' I got
Not enough and too much
So free and so caught up
In somethin' and nothin'
Both at the same time
I'm either out of my head
Or I'm out of my mind

When I find out who I am
I'm gonna know just what to do
When I pull myself together again
I'm gonna give myself to you

Is this forever?
This feelin' that I'm not
Movin' at all
But I just can't stop it
Its like I'm dreamin'
And I'm wide awake too
Will you remember me
Cause I won't forget you

When I find out who I am
I'm gonna know just what to do
When I pull myself together again
I'm gonna give myself to you

I guess I was savin' my life for later
When maybe I should've been givin' myself to you
Now I will, but I got to find out who I am before I do...
Before I do

When I find out who I am I'm gonna know just what to do
When I pull myself together again I know, I'm gonna give myself to you
I'm gonna give myself to you
I'm gonna give myself to you

Tears fill up my eyes
I'm washed away with sorrow
And somewhere in my mind
I know there's no tomorrow

I see that you're leaving soon
I guess you've had your fill
But if I can't change your mind, then no one will

And all throughout all the years
I've never strayed from you my dear
You suspect I'm somewhere else
You're feeling sorry for yourself

Leaving with a broken heart
I love you even still
But if I can't change your mind, then no one will
If I can't change your mind

Even though my heart keeps breaking
Don't you know that I'll be waiting here for you
I hope you see I'm dedicated
Look how long that I have waited
If you come back you will find a different person
If you change your mind

How can I explain away somethin' I haven't done
And if you cant trust in me now, you'll never trust in anyone
With all the crazy doubts you've got
I love you even still
But if I can't change your mind, then no one will
If I can't change your mind
If I can't change your mind
Wish I could change your mind

How many lives must I live
How many lies must I hear
How many times must I, feel so blue
How many times must I, lose you

All I hear now
Is the sound of my heart breakin' down
Or losing ground

How many bridges must I burn
How many lessons must I learn
How many times must I ask you to stay
How many times will you push me out of your way

All I hear now
Is the sound of my heart breaking down - losing ground
All I hear now
Is the sound of my heart losing ground - slowing down

Maybe somebody will show me - a better way
Maybe somebody will know me - someday
How many times must I, hear your voice
Inside my dreams, your answering machine
You're always there and everywhere in between

All I hear now
Is the sound of my heart slowing down
Can ya hear the sound
All I hear now
Is the sound of my heart leaving town, breakin' down
Slowin' down, losin' ground, breakin' down and stopping here

All I hear now
All I hear now

Hey, na na na... hey hey - thought about you
Hey, na na na... I'll make it with or without you

I went walking in your shoes today
It took me back to that familiar way
That I felt when our team was on the winning side
So I paged through some pictures that you left behind

Hey, na na na... hey hey - thought about you
Hey, na na na... I'll make it with or without you

I guess I would have known love if it whispered in my ear
All I know right now is that its been almost a year
That I traded in forever for a kiss that day
But how about some shelter if I promise not to stay

Hey, na na na... hey hey - thought about you
Hey, na na na... I'll make it with or without you

Shelter Me
Come on baby please
I don't need for you to feel the same
Cover me, come on cant you see
I just need to come in from the rain
Shelter Me

I know that you need to find someone who will get you
Thought I was the one
I know that I need to find someone who let me
Thought you were the one

Hey, na na na... hey hey - thought about you
Hey, na na na... I'll make it with or without you

Come on baby please

What's your explanation
'Cause everybody got one
What's your expectation
I know you got some of those too

Are you one to fly with the creatures that always burn up in the flame
Or are you one to sing with the creatures that make up the rules to the game

I wont get hung up, strung up on the reasons why
If you knew me better, baby you would change your mind
And leave it all behind
What's your explanation

What's your favorite color, your sign
Your basic sense of style and date of birth

Who's gonna win your heart and when your heart's been won
And when your hearts been won is it still your daddy first

Are you one to dance to the rhythm or break till the pain shakes loose
Or are you one to cry
Oh, but you stay dry all night long

I wont hung up, strung up on the reasons why
If I knew you better, maybe I could change your mind
If you knew me better, maybe you will change your mind
And leave it all behind
What's your explanation

Are you one to fly with the creatures that always burn up in the flame
Or are you one to sing with the creatures that make up the rules to the game

What's your explanation
What's your explanation
What's your explanation
'Cause everybody got one
'Cause everybody got one
Everybody got one

Always remember I'm by your side
Such a shame that you had to go
So much more that I'd like to know
So many things you forgot to show me how to do

When times are hard I forget your gone
I go to call you before it dawns on me
That you wont be there now
But I still have these words that you gave me

Always remember I'm by your side
Always remember I'm by your side

I got two kids of my own now
They grow up so fast
And how I wish you did not miss that part of who I am
But I keep doing all that I can do
And I will smile when they ask about you
And I will sing to them every day
With voice and the words that you used to say
Will change the world one day

Always remember I'm by your side
Always remember I'm by your side

And while they grow up you will show up
In things they do and say
Like a reflection to a connection
Of who they'll be one day
They will learn to get their wings
And fly through the changes life will bring
So on
And it will go on
And you will go on

And they will sing with the voice that you gave them
Always remember I'm by your side
Always remember I'm by your side
I'm by your side
I'm by your side

It's clear to see that you're down to earth
With a hold on what your worth
Like no other
And I'd like to thank your mother for that

I bet ya there's a line outside your door
And it's a line I know for sure
That you dont want from me
Like a hole in your head

I want to be just you just me
No tricks, no show
But I got to let you know

I'm not waiting in line
I'm not changing my mind for you
I'm not wasting my time
I'm not waiting in line for you

Now I think if we got something started
We would both fall in whole hearted
I'm not like no other
And you can thank my mother for that

I'm sure there is a line in front of me
And it's a line I'm sure to need from you
Like a whole in my head

I want to be just you just me
No tricks, no show
But I got to let you know

I'm not waiting in line
I'm not changing my mind for you
I'm not wasting my time
I'm not waiting in line for you

I've been saving myself for you
But I'm not wasting my time for no one
Oh But if you want me to be
Baby I'll be rough enough
Baby I'll be tough enough
Oh you know I'm rich enough
But I wont be nobody's fool

I'm not waiting in line
And I'm not changing my mind for you
I'm not wasting my time
I'm not waiting in line for you

I'm not waiting in line
And I'm not changing my mind for you
I'm not wasting my time
I'm not waiting in line

Unless you want me to

All alone or so It feels
Where are you going
Finally knowing
That nobody knows

And if you ever need my hands
To carry you through heavy times
Or look in to your wondering eyes
To remind you what you are

Skyscraper
You define the skyline
Opposite the grapevine
Where crows and rumors fly

And if you ever need my hands
To carry you through heavy times
Or look in to your telling eyes
To remind you what you are

Skyscraper
Half way to the show
Giving every sunrise some connection
Protection from a bitter sun

Skyscraper
You define the skyline
Opposite the grapevine
Where crows and rumors fly

Skyscraper

If I ever find truth I'm gonna let you know
If I ever find faith I'm gonna sit in every bit of its afterglow
If I ever find a way to bring love here today
You better bet your life that this is what I'll say
Give it if you've got it
Get it if you don't

Take my hand in the meantime
And let's walk into the sunshine
Everybody got something that they want to sing about, laugh about, cry about
It's true
For me it's you

Give it away, give it away, give it away
If it's something that you got layin' round your house
Man let me tell ya if ain't a kiss
It's something you'll never miss
Give it to somebody that don't have a thing layin' round like a prayer or a sweet sound
Give it if you've got it
Get it if you don't

Take my hand in the meantime
Let's walk into the sunshine
Everybody got something that they want to sing about, laugh about, cry about
It's true
For me it's you

Na na na na na na na na na
For me it's you
Na na na na na na na na na
For me it's you
Na na na na na na na na na
For me it's you
Na na na na na na na na na

Give it to somebody that don't have a thing
Ain't got soft shoes to dance or a love song to sing - no
Get yourself on the right track
Let somebody ride your back for a while

If I ever find truth I'm gonna let you know
You better bet your life if this is what I'm gonna say just give it away
You can't take it where you're goin anyway

Take my hand in the meantime
And let's walk into the sunshine
Everybody got something they want to sing about, laugh about cry about it's true
For me it's you
Na na na na na na na na

IN AN OLD CITY BAR
THAT IS NEVER TOO FAR
FROM THE PLACES THAT GATHER
THE DREAMS THAT HAVE BEEN

IN THE SAFETY OF NIGHT
WITH IT'S OLD NEON LIGHT
IT BECKONS TO STRANGERS
AND THEY ALWAYS COME IN

AND THE SNOW IT WAS FALLING
THE NEON WAS CALLING
THE MUSIC WAS LOW
AND THE NIGHT CHRISTMAS EVE

AND HERE WAS THE DANGER
THAT EVEN WITH STRANGERS
INSIDE OF THIS NIGHT
IT WAS EASIER TO BELIEVE

FOR IT WAS INTO THIS BAR
THAT I HAPPENED TO WANDER
TO STARE INTO A GLASS
AND MY UNIVERSE PONDER

SO I WALKED UP TO THE COUNTER
SHOOK THE SNOW OFF MY COAT
THEN I ORDERED A WHISKEY
THAT I USED LIKE A MOAT

BUT AN OLD MAN SOON JOINED ME
AND ASKED IF I KNEW THE TIME
ONE WORD LED TO ANOTHER
AND SOMEHOW I DIDN'T MIND

THEN HE OFFERED A DRINK
FROM A BOTTLE 'NEATH HIS COAT
AND HE SMILED A LITTLE SMILE
AS IT TRICKLED DOWN MY THROAT

AND I FELT MYSELF RELAXING
HERE AMONG THE GHOSTS THAT FAILED
THEN THE OLD MAN TOPPED MY GLASS OFF
AND BEGAN THIS LITTLE TALE

IN THE MOMENTS OF OUR LIVES
BOTH THE JOYOUS AND THE TRAGIC
IF THE TRUTH IS TO BE TOLD
WE ARE ALL PURSUING MAGIC

AND THE MAGIC THAT WE SEEK
AS WE'RE SURE YOU HAVE DISCOVERED
CAN BE FOUND IN CERTAIN PLACES
FAR MORE EASILY THAN OTHERS

IN THE SAND BENEATH THE SPHINX
IN THE DREAMS OF CANDLELIGHT
BUT THE SUREST PLACE OF ALL
IS IN THE FORGIVING WORLD OF NIGHT

AND OF ALL THE NIGHTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR
THAT COME AND GENTLY LEAVE
NONE HOLD THE DREAM OF MAGIC
LIKE THE EVENING, CHRISTMAS EVE

AND SO IT'S ON THIS NIGHT
WITH IT'S PROMISE DEEP WITHIN
AS THE SNOW NOW STARTS TO FALL
OUR STORY DOES BEGIN

An angel came down
One night to the earth
A mission from God
To find out the worth

Of everything that
His children had done
Since that winter night
The birth of His son

And then a sound filled the night
In the cold winter air
And in the midst of his flight
It was holding him there
And as he looked toward the earth
For the source of this sound
On that cold winter night
It was pulling him down

To bring something back
This angel was told
That no one could touch
But angels could hold

So on that night
When the sky had cleared
Among all the stars
An angel appeared

And then a sound filled the night
In the cold winter air
And in the midst of his flight
It was holding him there
And as he looked towards the earth
For the source of this sound
On that cold winter night
It was pulling him down

And then a sound filled the night
In the cold winter air
And in the midst of his flight
It was holding him there
And as he looked towards the earth
For the source of this sound
On that cold winter night
It was pulling him down

Ring the bells, Ring the bells
Let the churches ring the bells!

In the middle of a forest
There's a clearing by a stream
Where a mother holds her newborn
And the child begins to dream

And he dreams of hopes unspoken
When the tears of man will cease
And his mother holds him closer
For he is the Prince of peace

Let the bells ring out these tidings
Let it echo across the land
That a king is born in Bethlehem
And his kingdom is at hand

Let the world rejoice together
As it looks upon the stars
Knowing every man's our brother
And that every child is ours

Hark, the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn king
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled
Glory all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies

With the heavenly host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark, the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn king

In the middle of a forest
There's a clearing by a stream
Where a mother holds her newborn
And the child begins to dream

AS HE FLEW O'ER SARAJEVO
THERE WERE SCARS UPON THE LAND
THERE WERE SCARS UPON THE PEOPLE
IT WAS HARD TO UNDERSTAND

AND THE DEEPEST SCARS OF ALL
WHICH TO HUMANS ARE UNSEEN
BUT THE ANGEL COULD SEE CLEARLY
WERE THE SCARS UPON THE DREAMS

LIKE BELFAST AND BURUNDI
RWANDA, PALESTINE
THE ONLY DECORATIONS HERE
HAD BEEN AWARDED FOR THEIR CRIMES

AND IN THE GARDENS WHERE THE CHILDREN PLAYED
NOW SOLDIERS ONLY TROD
AND STRANGER STILL, HE HEARD SOME SAY
THAT THEY WERE KILLING FOR THEIR GOD

NOW THE ANGEL HEARD GOD SPEAK MANY TIMES
AND HE HAD ALWAYS PAID ATTENTION
BUT THIS KILLING OF ONES NEIGHBOR
WAS SOMETHING THE LORD HAD NEVER MENTIONED

BUT AS HE NEARED THE EARTH
OF A RECENT BATTLEGROUND
FROM AMONG THE RUINS
HE ONCE MORE HEARD THE SOUND

IT WAS A SINGLE CELLO PLAYING
A FORGOTTEN CHRISTMAS SONG
AND EVEN ON THAT BATTLEFIELD
THE SONG SOMEHOW BELONGED

AND AS HE FLEW AWAY
THE ANGEL DID TAKE NOTE
THAT WHERE HE FOUND MUSIC PLAYED
ONE ALWAYS COULD FIND HOPE

Joy to the world
The Lord has come
Let earth
Receive her king

Now it was long ago
When it all began
Back in Bethlehem
In the promised land

When a single star
Appeared in the sky
And three kings saw
And they each asked why
Asked why...

And they checked the books
Full of prophecy
And the one king said
Why it's plain to me

You see it means
That a king is born
Who will save mankind
On this blessed morn
Blessed morn...

So they packed some gold
Myrrh and frankincense
On some old camel
With some fancy tents

Closed down the house
Set the servants free
And three kings rode
Into history
History...

It was long ago
In a foreign land
When the Lord looked down
Said to make a stand
So He sent His son
And said, 'through him you'll know me!'
You'll know me

Then the angels came
And when they start to sing
All at once the past

It doesn't mean a thing
And the star comes out
And the wise men say, Hey show me!
Oh, show me

And they followed it
Over hills and sand
Til' they found the child
Like it all was planned
And as they knelt before
The newborn king

The angel's were singing
In their angel style
How all of our hopes
Had come down to this child

THEN HE REACHED FOR THE SONG
AND HE HELD IT IN HIS HAND
(IT WAS SOMETHING THAT HE DID
BECAUSE ANGELS CAN)

AND HE WONDERED TO HIMSELF
"IT THIS THE ANSWER THAT I SOUGHT"
BUT SOMETHING WAS STILL MISSING
OR AT LEAST SO HE STILL THOUGHT

AND SO HE JOURNEYED ON
THROUGH THE MIDNIGHT WINTER AIR
WHEN ALL AT ONCE OUR ANGEL
FELT THE TOUCH OF A MAN'S PRAYER

AND LOOKING ONCE MORE TO THE EARTH
TO DETERMINE WHENCE IT CAME
HE FELT A MILLION SOULS BELOW
BUT ONE WAS NOT THE SAME

FOR THERE HE SAW A MAN ALONE
THOUGH HE WAS WALKING IN A CROWD
AND THOUGH THIS MAN HAD RARELY PRAYED
TONIGHT HIS HEAD WAS BOWED

FOR EVEN IN A CROWD, YOU SEE
A HEART CAN FEEL ALONE
WHEN THE NIGHT IS CHRISTMAS EVE
A CHILD IS NOT AT HOME

SO FROM A FATHER TO THE LORD
A PRAYER DID SWIFTLY RACE
BUT THE ANGEL SAW IT FIRST
AND HE LISTENED TO ITS CASE

There is an ornament
Lost inside the night
There on a Christmas tree
With a thousand lights

No one can see her
She's standing all alone

Somewhere she glistens where no one can see

I don't believe I can say what had happened
All of those words that we put into play
No longer matter, I should have known that then
I just know you're far away

On this Christmas day
On this Christmas day
On this Christmas...

Somewhere the wind
Carves moments in the snow

And if he sees her
He never lets it show
He just drifts behind her
Erasing every step

Tinsel and garland are whispered through trees

I don't believe I can say what had happened
All of those words that we put into play
No longer matter, I should have known that then
I just know you're far away

On this Christmas day
On this Christmas day
On this Christmas...

Come, Christmas
Stay, Christmas
Watch over her this day
Keep her
Protect her
From harm now in every way

Shelter her
Gently
There in your arms she'll be
Until the day
When you
Bring her back home to me

There is an ornament lost inside the night

AFTER HE HAD HEARD THE PRAYER
THE ANGEL GENTLY SET IT FREE
AND FOLLOWED IT TO THE FATHER'S CHILD
IN A FAR AWAY CITY

AND THERE THE GIRL IN DESPERATION
WAS SEARCHING THROUGH THE SKY
FOR A STAR THAT SHE COULD WISH UPON
BUT STARS WERE IN SHORT SUPPLY

AND THE ONLY LIGHT THAT SHE COULD SEE
THERE SHINING ALL ALONE
WAS A NEON SIGN ON AN OLD BAR
AND SO ON THIS, SHE WISHED SHE WAS HOME

In an old city bar
That is never too far
From the places that gather
The dreams that have been

In the safety of night
With its old neon light
It beckons to strangers
And they always come in

And the snow it was falling
The neon was calling
The music was low
And the night
Christmas Eve

And here was the danger
That even with strangers
Inside of this night
It's easier to believe

Then the door opened wide
And a child came inside
That no one in the bar
Had seen there before

And he asked did we know
That outside in the snow
That someone was lost
Standing outside our door

Then the bartender gazed
Through the smoke and the haze
Through the window and ice
To a corner streetlight

Where standing alone
By a broken pay phone
Was a girl the child said
Could no longer get home

And the snow it was falling
The neon was calling
The bartender turned
And said, not that I care
But how would you know this?
The child said I've noticed
If one could be home
They'd be all ready there

Then the bartender came out from behind the bar
And in all of his life he was never that far
And he did something else that he thought no one saw
When he took all the cash from the register draw

Then he followed the child to the girl cross the street
And we watched from the bar as they started to speak
Then he called for a cab and he said J.F.K.
Put the girl in the cab and the cab drove away
And we saw in his hand
That the cash was all gone
From the light that she had wished upon

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last

By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask

Then he looked for the child
But the child wasn't there
Just the wind and the snow
Waltzing dreams through the air

So he walked back inside
Somehow different I think
For the rest of the night
No one paid for a drink

And the cynics will say
That some neighborhood kid
Wandered in on some bums
In the world where they hid

But they weren't there
So they couldn't see
By an old neon star
On that night, Christmas Eve

When the snow it was falling
The neon was calling
And in case you should wonder
In case you should care

Why we're on our own
Never went home
On that night of all nights
We were already there

THEN ALL AT ONCE INSIDE THAT NIGHT
HE SAW IT ALL SO CLEAR
THE ANSWER THAT HE SOUGHT SO LONG
HAD ALWAYS BEEN SO NEAR

IT'S EVERY GIFT THAT SOMEONE GIVES
EXPECTING NOTHING BACK
IT'S EVERY KINDNESS THAT WE DO
EACH SIMPLE LITTLE ACT

Christmas time
On a cold December morning
All is calm
And the world is still asleep
Christmas lights
That have been caught without warning
Gently glitter on
Stars to wish upon
All the world is at peace

Christmas time and the year will soon be leaving
Cloaked in time till it's just a memory
Christmas stays if we don't forget its meaning
Days go quickly by
Years they multiply
And we go searching for thee

And the dream is still alive
From that first December morning
And it always will survive
As long as we can see
That the dreams we find in life
Are the dreams we tend to seek
And Christmas has its promises to keep

Christmas time
And the moments just beginning
From last night
When we'd wished upon a star

If our kindness
This day is just pretending
If we pretend long enough
Never giving up
It just might be who we are

AND SO IT'S GOOD THAT WE REMEMBER
JUST AS SOON AS WE'VE DISCOVERED
THAT THE THINGS WE DO IN LIFE
WILL ALWAYS END UP TOUCHING OTHERS

SO FROM A FADING NEON STAR
SOMEWHERE SHINING IN THE NIGHT
WE FIND A FATHER FAR AWAY
NOW REFLECTING IN ITS LIGHT

So, tell me Christmas
Are we wise
To believe in things we never see
Are prayers just wishes in disguise
And are these wishes being granted me
For now I see
The answering
To every prayer I've prayed

She's coming home this
Christmas Day

So tell me Christmas
Are we kind
More this day than any other day
Or is it only in our mind
And must it leave when you have gone away
It's different now
It's changed somehow
And now you're here to stay

She's coming home this
Christmas Day

All at once the world
It doesn't seem the same
And in a single night
You know it all has changed
And everything is now as it should be

I have the ornament
I have the perfect tree
I have a string of lights
I have a chance to see
Everything that my heart thought could be

For of all the dreams
You were the first I knew
And every other one
Was a charade of you
You stayed close when I was far away

In the darkest night
You always were the star
You always took us in
No matter who we are
And so she's coming home this
Christmas Day

[1.]
Merry Christmas
Merry, merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry, merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry, merry Christmas
Night

[add the second stanza in the third time]

[2.]
She's coming home
She's coming home
She's coming home
This Christmas Day

[All together]
She's coming home this
Christmas Day...

SO THE GIRL HAD REACHED HER HOME
AND THE BAR WAS CLOSING DOWN
AS THE ANGEL STARTED BACK
TO BRING HIS LORD WHAT HE HAD FOUND

An angel returned
That night through the sky
But time it was short
He had to decide

And so as he flew
Back over the land
A gift for his Lord
Was there in his hand

It was the glow of a light
It was the heart of a song
It was the tear of a child
Where they never belonged
It was the wish of a soul
On an old neon light
And the Lord smiled at him
On that cold winter night

Hear as they ring through the night
Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Here the bells ring through the night

Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Hear as they ring through the night

Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Hear as they ring through the night

Listen to the bells as they ring
Listen to the message they bring
Listen to the sound
As they sing as one voice in the night

Hoping that we'll all understand
Every dream we have's in our hands
And for every bell
May they ring all through the night

Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Hear as they ring through the night

Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Here as they ring through the night

Listen to the bells as they ring
Listen to the message they bring
Listen to the sound as they sing
As one voice in the night

Hoping that we'll all understand
Every dream we have's in our hands
And for every bell
May they ring all through your life

AND SO WITH HIS STORY OVER
AND OUR BOTTLE NEARLY THROUGH
I ASKED, DID THIS REALLY HAPPEN?
HE SWORE EVERY WORD WAS TRUE

THEN HE SAID I SEE YOU'RE PUZZLED
FOR YOUR MIND TELLS YOU TO DOUBT ME
THAT MY STORY CAN'T BE TRUE
BUT YOUR HEART TELLS YOU, IT MIGHT BE

HE THEN ASKED, DID IT ENTERTAIN ME
AND I ADMITTED IT HAD CHARM
THEN HE SAID PERHAPS YOU HEAVE LEARNED SOMETHING
OR AT WORST I'VE DONE NO HARM

THEN HE ROSE UP FROM HIS CHAIR
AND HE SAID IT'S TIME THAT HE SHOULD LEAVE
BYT MAY GOD KEEP AND PROTECT YOU
THIS AND EVERY CHRISTMAS EVE

THEN HE LEFT THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR
AND I RAN OUT TO ASK HIM BACK
BUT HE WAS ALREADY GONE
AND STRANGER STILL HE LEFT NO TRACKS

SO I WALKED BACK TO MY HOME
RECALLING ALL I'VE HEARD AND SEEN
AND FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE MY CHILDHOOD
THAT NIGHT I DREAMED A CHRISTMAS DREAM

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

SOMEWHERE IN THE UNIVERSE
BETWEEN THIS NIGHT AND GOD
AN ANGEL SAT UPON A STAR
WHILE THINKING VERY HARD

TO RETURN ONCE MORE TO THE EARTH
HE HAD BEEN ASSIGNED
AND A SINGLE GIFT FOR ALL OF MAN
HE WAS TO LEAVE BEHIND

BUT THIS GIFT THAT HE WAS TO LEAVE
COULD NOT BE TAKEN FROM THE HEAVENLY COURT
AND HOW COULD HE LEAVE SOMETHING BEHIND
IF NOTHING COULD BE BROUGHT

NOW THIS WAS QUITE A PUZZLE
AND HE KNEW NOT HOW TO START
WHEN HE SUDDENLY FELT A PRAYER FROM A CHILD
REACH DEEP INTO HIS HEART

AND THOUGHT HIS TIME WAS LIMITED
TO THIS ONE NIGHT OF THE YEAR
HE COULD NOT IGNORE THIS CHILD'S REQUEST
SO HE DECIDED HE WOULD START HERE

FOR THOUGH THIS NIGHT WAS CHRISTMAS EVE
AND DREAMS WERE ALL ABOUT
SOMEWHERE DOWN BELOW ON EARTH
HE HAD FELT THIS CHILD BEGIN TO DOUBT

A CHILD WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN ASLEEP
INSTEAD WAS CLIMBING ATTIC STAIRS
WITH HER SOLITARY CANDLE
AND A SINGLE CHRISTMAS PRAYER

NOW, WHEN ANGELS THEY ARE CALLED
THEY RARELY JUST APPEAR
BUT MORE OFTEN THAN NOT
THEY GENTLY WHISPER IN ONE'S EAR

AND WHEN THEY WHISPER TO A CHILD
ON NIGHTS WHEN SNOW STILL GLISTENS
THE CHANCES ARE MUCH STRONGER STILL
THAT, THAT CHILD, WILL LISTEN

SO IN THIS ROOM WHERE SHADOWS LIVE
AND GHOSTS THAT FAILED LEARN TIME FORGIVES
WELCOME FRIENDS, PLEASE STAY AWHILE
OUR STORY STARTS WITH ONE SMALL CHILD
WHO SPENDS THIS NIGHT IN AN ATTIC DARK
WHERE DREAMS ARE STORED LIKE SLEEPING HEARTS

NOW, IF YOU WONDER WHY THIS CHILD IS HERE
WITH ALL ASLEEP AND CHRISTMAS NEAR
SHE'S COME UP HERE TO LOOK FOR TRUTH
IN THIS PLACE CLOSEST TO THE ROOF

FOR SHE HAD HEARD FROM FRIENDS WHO FEEL
THAT NOTHING ON THIS NIGHT IS REAL
THAT NO ADULTS TRULY BELIEVE
IN ALL THESE THINGS OF CHRISTMAS EVE

THIS NIGHT THAT SEEMS TO CAST A SPELL
IN THE SAME WORLD, JUST TINSELED WELL
AND AS SHE LAY IN BED THAT NIGHT
SHE WONDERED IF THEY MIGHT BE RIGHT

AND SHE WONDERED THEN WHO SHE MIGHT ASK
ABOUT THIS QUESTION THAT HAD BEEN CAST
FOR ADULTS, SHE HAD BEEN TOLD, YOU SEE
ARE PART OF THIS CONSPIRACY

BUT IN HER MIND BECOMING CLEAR
THE SHADOW OF A CHILD'S IDEA

THERE WAS ONE WHOSE PRESENCE ALONE
WOULD RECONFIRM WHAT SHE HAD KNOWN

BUT THIS MAN, HE WAS SO RARELY SEEN
FOR HE ONLY ARRIVED WHEN CHILDREN DREAMED
BUT IF WHAT SHE HAD BELIEVED WAS RIGHT
HE SHOULD APPEAR THIS VERY NIGHT
SO ON THIS NIGHT WITH SO MUCH AT STAKE
SHE'S DETERMINED THAT SHE WOULD STAY AWAKE

BUT THEN A PROBLEM CAME TO MIND
IT SEEMS THAT FATE HAD NOT BEEN KIND
FOR THEIR CHIMNEY HAD BEEN CLOSED THAT YEAR
SOME BRICKS MIGHT FALL, HER FATHER FEARED

SO SHE HAD DEVISED ANOTHER PLAN
TO HEAR WHEN ON THE ROOF HE LANDS
SO WITH THE GHOSTS LEFT HERE BY FATE
UPON THIS NIGHT SHE SITS AND WAITS

NOW AS I'M SURE YOU ALL MUST KNOW
WHEN ONE IS WAITING, TIME MOVES SLOW
AND AS SHE WONDERED WHAT TO DO
(HER OPTIONS SEEMING FAR TOO FEW)

THE ANGEL CAUSED THAT CHILD TO LOOK
BEHIND A YELLOWED PILE OF BOOKS
AMONG THESE MEMORIES DISGUISED AS JUNK
SHE NOTICED THERE A WELL WORN TRUNK

IT WAS FILLED WITH TOYS AND ONE OLD WREATH
AND SEVERAL LETTERS UNDERNEATH
SOME ORNAMENTS, A HAND RUNG PHONE
AND RECORDS WITH A GRAMOPHONE

A MIX OF LONG FORGOTTEN WORDS
WITH MELODIES NO LONGER HEARD
ALL THREADS OF LONG FORGOTTEN LIVES
BUT HERE SOMEHOW THEY HAD SURVIVED

THESE LETTERS THAT HAD CAUGHT HER EYE
NOW IN HER HANDS THEY SEEMED ALIVE
AND AS EACH LETTER SHE UNSEALED
A SMALL PIECE OF THE PAST WAS REVEALED

FOR CHRISTMAS WEAVES A LIFE LONG SPELL
AND MOST OF ALL REMEMBERS WELL
AND AS THE CHILD EXPLORED THE PAST
ONCE AGAIN THAT SPELL WAS CAST

AND AS THE CHILD BEGAN TO READ
UPON THIS NIGHT OF CHRISTMAS EVE
THE ANGEL'S PLAN, AS YOU CAN TELL
IT WAS ALREADY WORKING WELL
SO AS THE GHOSTS GENTLY ARISE
IN OUT FIRST SONG WE'LL SUMMARIZE

In this room where shadows live
And ghosts that failed learn time forgives
Welcome, friends, please stay awhile
Our story starts with one small child

Who spends this night in attics dark
Where dreams are stored like sleeping hearts
And so it's here that they must wait
Till someone wishes them awake

For somewhere on this night of nights
She's looking to believe
Here among the ghosts on Christmas Eve

And there near an old looking glass
There was a trunk from Christmas past
That she had somehow missed before
But now decides she will explore

'Twas filled with toys and one old wreath
And several letters underneath
So as the evening hours leave
The child sat down and started to read

For somewhere on this night of nights
She's looking to believe
Here among the ghosts on Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve
On Christmas Eve

THAT FIRST LETTER, THAT SHE HAD READ
IN THAT ATTIC FAR FROM BED
WAS FROM A FATHER TRYING TO SAY
HOW HIS FIRST CHILD SAW CHRISTMAS DAY

There was a cold winter night
Where the dark went on forever
And the world seemed like a
Dream gone astray

And somehow there on this night
As the world huddled together
There a child slept at the end of
The day

And he dreamed of another world
In another time
And another place

Where no man
Has to wear a sign
Saying where he's from
Saying what's his race

And he wants us to believe
This world that he sees

What is the dream of this night
Why does it echo forever
Here in the cold at the end of
This year

And with all our different lives
Why do we dream it together
When at the first sign of snow it
Appears

When he dreamed of another world
In another time
And another place

Where no man
Has to wear a sign
Saying where he's from
Saying what's ris race

And he wants us to believe
This world that he sees

When he dreamed of another world
In another time
And another place

Where no man
Has to wear a sign
Saying where he's from
Saying what's ris race

And he wants us to believe
This world that he sees

When he dreamed of another world
In another time
And another place

Where no man
Has to wear a sign
Saying where he's from
Saying what's ris race

And he wants us to believe
This world that he sees

THEN THE CHILD HEAR A CLOCK TOLLING
FROM A DISTANT CITY TOWER
AND SHE GAZED UP AT THE STARLIGHT
ON THIS CHRISTMAS MIDNIGHT HOUR

AND SHE WONDERED IF THESE STARS
WERE ALL BUT BITS OF DREAMS
FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE DISTAND PAST
THAT SOMEHOW, COULD STILL BE SEEN

AND SHE WONDERED IF HER CANDLE
UPON THIS MAGIC NIGHT
COULD BE SEEN BY SOMEONE FARAWAY
AS THEIR OWN STARLIGHT

THEN SHE SAW A GRAMOPHONE
FROM A TIME GONE LONG BEFORE
ANY IN THIS ROOM WERE BORN
BUT TONIGHT IT WOULD BE HEARD ONCE MORE

FOR SHE HAD FOUND A SMALL HANDLE
THERE UPON ONE END
AND WHEN SHE TURNED IT TWICE AROUND
IT BEGAN TO PLAY AGAIN
