Our life together is so precious together We have grown, we have grown Although our love is still special Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere alone
It's been too long since we took the time No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly But when I see you darling It's like we both are falling in love again It'll be just like starting over, starting over
Everyday we used to make it love Why can't we be making love nice and easy It's time to spread our wings and fly Don't let another day go by my love It'll be just like starting over, starting over
Why don't we take off alone Take a trip somewhere far, far away We'll be together all alone again Like we used to in the early days Well, well, well darling
It's been too long since we took the time No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly But when I see you darling It's like we both are falling in love again It'll be just like starting over, starting over
Our life together is so precious together We have grown, we have grown Although our love is still special Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere
Here in some stranger's room Late in the afternoon What am I doing here at all? Ain't no doubt about it I'm losing you I'm losing you
Somehow the wires got crossed Communication's lost Can't even get you on the telephone Just got to shout about it I'm losing you I'm losing you
Well, here in the valley of indecision I don't know what to do I feel you slipping away I feel you slipping away I'm losing you I'm losing you
Well now, you say you're not getting enough But I remind you of all that bad, bad, bad stuff So what the hell am I supposed to do? Just put a bandaid on it? And stop the bleeding now Stop the bleeding now
I'm losing you I'm losing you Well, well, well
I know I hurt you then But hell, that was way back when Well, do you still have to carry that cross? (drop it) Don't want to hear about it I'm losing you I'm losing you Don't want to lose you now Welllllllll! So long ago
Close your eyes Have no fear The monster's gone He's on the run and your daddy's here Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Beautiful boy Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Beautiful boy
Before you go to sleep Say a little prayer Every day in every way It's getting better and better
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Beautiful boy Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Beautiful boy
Out on the ocean sailing away I can hardly wait To see you come of age But I guess we'll both just have to be patient 'Cause it's a long way to go A hard row to hoe Yes it's a long way to go But in the meantime
Before you cross the street Take my hand Life is what happens to you While you're busy making other plans
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Beautiful boy Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Beautiful boy
Before you go to sleep Say a little prayer Every day in every way It's getting better and better
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Beautiful boy Darling, darling, darling Darling Sean
People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin When I say that I'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strange Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round I really love to watch them roll No longer riding on the merry-go-round I just had to let it go
Ah, people asking questions lost in confusion Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind I tell them there's no hurry I'm just sitting here doing time
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round I really love to watch them roll No longer riding on the merry-go-round I just had to let it go I just had to let it go I just had to let it go
Woman I can hardly express My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness After all I'm forever in your debt And woman I will try to express My inner feelings and thankfulness For showing me the meaning of success Ooh, well, well Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Ooh, well, well Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Woman I know you understand The little child inside the man Please remember my life is in your hands And woman hold me close to your heart However distant don't keep us apart After all it is written in the stars
Ooh, well, well Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Ooh, well, well Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Wellll
Woman please let me explain I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain So let me tell you again and again and again
I love you, yeah, yeah Now and forever I love you, yeah, yeah Now and forever I love you, yeah, yeah Now and forever I love you, yeah, yeah
Even after all these years I miss you when you're not here I wish you were here my dear Yoko Even if it's just a day I miss you when you're away I wish you were here today dear Yoko
Even if it's just one night I miss you and it don't feel right I wish you were here tonight dear Yoko Even if it's just one hour I wilt just like a fading flower Ain't nothing in the world like our love dear Yoko
Oh Yoko I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever gonna let you go Oh Yoko I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever gonna let you go
Even when I'm miles at sea And nowhere is the place to be Your spirit's watching over me dear Yoko Even when I watch T.V. There's a hole where you're supposed to be There's nobody lying next to me dear Yoko
Oh Yoko I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever gonna let you go Oh Yoko I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever gonna let you go
Even after all this time I miss you like the sun don't shine Without I'm a one track mind dear Yoko After all is really said and done The two of us are really one The goddess really smiled upon our love dear Yoko
What is the matter with this thing? It is speaking on my feet here. That's why we're having this interruptions Very bad.
Well I try so hard to stay alive But the angel of destruction keeps on hounding me all around But I know in my heart that we never really parted, oh no
They say the Lord helps those who help themselves So I'm asking this question in the hope that you'll be kind 'Cause I know deep inside I was never satisfied Oh no, Lord help me
Lord help me now Please help me Lord, yeah, yeah, yeah Help me to help myself Help me to help myself
