LOVE SONGS
Can You Feel the Love Tonight
Theres a calm surrender
To the rush of day
When the heat of a rolling wind
Can be turned away
An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
Its enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you
And can you feel the love tonight
It is where we are
Its enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How its laid to rest
Its enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
Theres a time for everyone
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn
Theres a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager
Beats in time with yours
And can you feel the love tonight
It is where we are
Its enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How its laid to rest
Its enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
Its enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
Sacrifice
Its a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptations strong
Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes a callin
And negativity lands
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passing through
And its no sacrifice
Just a simple word
Its two hearts living
In two separates worlds
But its no sacrifice
No sacrifice
Its no sacrifice at all
Mutual misunderstanding
After the face
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act
We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passing through
And its no sacrifice
Just a simple word
Its two hearts living
In two separates worlds
But its no sacrifice
No sacrifice
Its no sacrifice at all
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passing through
And its no sacrifice
Just a simple word
Its two hearts living
In two separates worlds
But its no sacrifice
No sacrifice
Its no sacrifice at all
Daniel
Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane
I can see the red taillights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
They say Spain is pretty, though Ive never been
Well Daniel says its the best place hes ever seen
Oh and he should know hes been there enough
Lord I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much
Oh Daniel my brother
You are older than me
Do you still feel the pain
Of the scars that wont heal
Your eyes have died, but you see more than I
Daniel youre a star in the face of the sky
Someone Saved My Life Tonight
When I think of those East End lights
Muggy nights
The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs
Prima Donna lord you really should have been there
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
And its one more beer
And I dont hear you anymore
Weve all gone crazy lately
My friends out there rolling
Round the basement floor
And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me
Didnt you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized,
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
Youre a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away bye bye
I never realized the passing hours
Of evening showers
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
Im strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
Its four-o-clock in the morning
Damn it!
Listen to me good
Im sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time, thank God my musics still alive
And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me
Didnt you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized,
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
Youre a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away bye bye
And I would have walked head on
Into the deep end of a river
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
Paying your HP demands forever
Theyre coming in the morning
With a truck to take me home
And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me
Didnt you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized,
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
Youre a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away bye bye
Someone saved my life tonight
So save your strength
And run the field you play alone
And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me
Didnt you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized,
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
Youre a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away bye bye
Your Song
Its a little bit funny, this feeling inside
Im not one of those, who can easily hide
I dont have much money, but boy if I did
Id buy a big house were we both could live
If I was a sculptor but then again no
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
I know its not much but its the best I can do
My gift if my song and this ones for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that its done
I hope you dont mind, I hope you dont mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while youre in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses, well theyve got me quite cross
But the suns been quite kind while I wrote this song
Its for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
You see Ive forgotten if theyre green or theyre blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes Ive ever seen.
Dont Let the Sun Go Down on Me
(Duet with George Michael)
I cant light more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
Im growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life
Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light
Dont let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, its always someone else I see
Id just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
I cant find oh, the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Dont discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have, oh they need love to help them heal
Dont let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, its always someone else I see
Id just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
Believe
I believe in love
Its all weve got
Love has no boundaries
Costs nothing to touch
War makes money
Cancer sleeps
Curled up in my father
And that means something to me
Churches and dictators
Politics and papers
Everything crumbles
Sooner or later
But love
I believe in love
Its all weve got
Love has no boundaries
No borders to cross
Love is simple
Hate breeds
Those who think difference
Is the child of disease
Father and son
Make love and guns
Families together
Kill someone
Without love
Without love
I wouldnt believe
In anything
That lives and breathes
Without love
Id have no anger
I wouldnt believe
In the right to stand here
Without love
I wouldnt believe
I couldnt believe in you
And I wouldnt believe in me
Without love
Blue Eyes
Blue eyes babys got blue eyes
Like a deep blue sea
On a blue blue day
Blue eyes, babys got blue eyes
When the morning comes
Ill be far away
And I say
Blue eyes holding back the tears
Holding back the pain
Babys got blue eyes
And shes alone again
Blue eyes babys got blue eyes
Like a clear blue sky
Watching over me
Blue eyes ooh I love blue eyes
When Im by her side
Where I long to be
I will see
Blue eyes laughing in the sun
Laughing in the rain
Babys got blue eyes
And I am home again
Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word
What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that youre not here
What have I got to do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when its all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word
Its sad (so sad)
Its a sad, sad situation
And its getting more and more absurd
Its sad (so sad)
What cant we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word
What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do
What have I got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word
Blessed
Hey you, youre a child in my head
You havent walked yet
Your first words have yet to be said
But I swear youll be blessed
I know youre still just a dream
Your eyes might be green
Or the bluest that Ive ever seen
Anyway youll be blessed
And you, youll be blessed
Youll have the best
I promise you that
Ill pick a star from the sky
Pull your name from a hat
I promise you that
I promise you that
Youll be blessed
I need you before Im too old
To have and to hold
To walk with you and watch you grow
And know that youre blessed
And you, youll be blessed
Youll have the best
I promise you that
Ill pick a star from the sky
Pull your name from a hat
I promise you that
Promise you that you
Youll be blessed
Youll have the best
I promise you that
Ill pick a star from the sky
Pull your name from a hat
I promise you that
I promise you that
Promise you that
Youll be blessed
I promise you that
Youll be blessed
Promise you that
Youll be blessed
Promise you that
Youll be blessed
Candle in the Wind
(Live)
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name
And it seems to me that you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
The press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
And it seems to me that you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe
And it seems to me that you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
You Can Make History (Young Again)
I can feel the time closing in
I can feel the years crawling through my skin
And if I doubt myself
I can count on the rain
To cover the tears of this aging game
But I can count on you
To play your part
I dont miss a beat of your animal heart
And when you push from behind
I know I can
Cover a mountain with the palm of my hand
Oh babe you can make history young again
You could rewrite it, you could decide
The things that should or shouldnt have been
You could look at me in the scheme of things
Oh babe you could make history young again
I can watch the weeks sweeping by
I can recollect the hearts hanging out to dry
When the world shuts down
I can touch my fears
I can hear lost youth ringing in my ears
But I lost nothing
When I gained you
You just blew me away with yesterdays news
And when you run your fingers
Down my spine
Its like throwing a switch on the hands of time
Oh babe you can make history young again
You could rewrite it, you could decide
The things that should or shouldnt have been
You could look at me in the scheme of things
Oh babe you could make history young again
Ancient minds, ancient lives
Got a way of comin round
If I know then what I know now
Id find a way back, back in time
Id make it back to you somehow
No Valentines
No more Valentines Day
No more Christmas cards
Ive thrown them all away
No more sequined stars
No birthday wishes
No more surprises
Who needs em anyway
No reason to get excited
Yea, I gave you everything
I gave you earth and sky
And everything in between
That walks, crawls or flies
No Easter mornings
Its your cross now
Keep it all for yourself
Its overrated anyhow
But keep my Valentine
Ill keep my bleeding heart
Just let me out of here
Before that sentimental music starts
And your regrets
Fall like empty lines
Like the lies we write on Valentines
No foggy Sunday rides
No deep embracing kiss
The electricity of storms
The tragedy I almost missed
Festive celebrations
Are non-existent words
And all these anniversaries
Are pointless and absurd
And at the end of this card
My signature is missing
That warm flow that came from my hand
For when the kisses grow cold
The dance means nothing
And Valentines Day
Becomes no mans land
Circle of Life
From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking step into the sun
Theres more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
Theres far too much to take in here
More to find than ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
Its the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life |
