On a night like this So glad you came around Hold on to me so tight And heat up some coffee grounds We got much to talk about And much to reminisce It sure is right On a night like this
On a night like this So glad you've come to stay Hold on to me, pretty miss Say you'll never go away to stray Run your fingers down my spine Bring me a touch of bliss It sure feels right On a night like this
On a night like this I can't get any sleep The air is so cold outside And the snow's so deep Build a fire, throw on logs And listen to it hiss And let it burn, burn, burn, burn On a night like this
Put your body next to mine And keep me company There is plenty a room for all So please don't elbow me
Let the four winds blow Around this old cabin door If I'm not too far off I think we did this once before There's more frost on the window glass With each new tender kiss But it sure feels right On a night like this
I've just reached a place Where the willow don't bend There's not much more to be said It's the top of the end I'm going I'm going I'm gone
I'm closin' the book On the pages and the text And I don't really care What happens next I'm just going I'm going I'm gone
I been hangin' on threads I been playin' it straight Now, I've just got to cut loose Before it gets late So I'm going I'm going I'm gone
Grandma said, "Boy, go and follow your heart And you'll be fine at the end of the line All that's gold isn't meant to shine Don't you and your one true love ever part."
I been walkin' the road I been livin' on the edge Now, I've just got to go Before I get to the ledge So I'm going I'm just going I'm gone
Tough Mama Meat shakin' on your bones I'm gonna go down to the river and get some stones Sister's on the highway with that steel-drivin' crew Papa's in the big house, his workin' days are through Tough Mama Can I blow a little smoke on you?
Dark Beauty Won't you move it on over and make some room? It's my duty to bring you down to the field where the flowers bloom Ashes in the furnace, dust on the rise You came through it all the way, flyin' through the skies Dark Beauty With that long night's journey in your eyes
Sweet Goddess Born of a blinding light and a changing wind Now, don't be modest, you know who you are and where you've been Jack the Cowboy went up north He's buried in your past The Lone Wolf went out drinking That was over pretty fast Sweet Goddess Your perfect stranger's comin' in at last
Silver Angel With the badge of the lonesome road sewed in your sleeve I'd be grateful if this golden ring you would receive Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch Sweet Goddess It must be time to carve another notch
I'm crestfallen The world of illusion is at my door I ain't a-haulin' any of my lambs to the marketplace anymore The prison walls are crumblin', there is no end in sight I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite Dark Beauty Meet me at the border late tonight
Hazel, dirty-blonde hair I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere You got something I want plenty of Ooh, a little touch of your love
Hazel, stardust in your eye You're goin' somewhere and so am I I'd give you the sky high above Ooh, for a little touch of your love
Oh no, I don't need any reminder To know how much I really care But it's just making me blinder and blinder Because I'm up on a hill and still you're not there
Hazel, you called and I came Now don't make me play this waiting game You've got something I want plenty of Ooh, a little touch of your love
Something there is about you that strikes a match in me Is it the way your body moves or is it the way your hair blows free? Or is it because you remind me of something that used to be Somethin' that crossed over from another century?
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth Rainy days on the Great Lakes, walkin' the hills of old Duluth There was me and Danny Lopez, cold eyes, black night and then there was Ruth Something there is about you that brings back a long-forgotten truth
Suddenly I found you and the spirit in me sings Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death
Something there is about you that moves with style and grace I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place My hand's on the sabre and you've picked up the baton Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on
May God bless and keep you always, May your wishes all come true, May you always do for others And let others do for you. May you build a ladder to the stars And climb on every rung, May you stay forever young, Forever young, forever young, May you stay forever young.
May you grow up to be righteous, May you grow up to be true, May you always know the truth And see the lights surrounding you. May you always be courageous, Stand upright and be strong, May you stay forever young, Forever young, forever young, May you stay forever young.
May your hands always be busy, May your feet always be swift, May you have a strong foundation When the winds of changes shift. May your heart always be joyful, May your song always be sung, May you stay forever young, Forever young, forever young, May you stay forever young.

I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road. The stage was set, the lights went out all around the old hotel, I hate myself for lovin' you and I'm glad the curtain fell.
I hate that foolish game we played and the need that was expressed And the mercy that you showed to me, who ever would have guessed? I went out on Lower Broadway and I felt that place within, That hollow place where martyrs weep and angels play with sin.
Heard your songs of freedom and man forever stripped, Acting out his folly while his back is being whipped. Like a slave in orbit, he's beaten 'til he's tame, All for a moment's glory and it's a dirty, rotten shame.
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them, In this age of fiberglass I'm searching for a gem. The crystal ball up on the wall hasn't shown me nothing yet, I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.
Can't recall a useful thing you ever did for me 'Cept pat me on the back one time when I was on my knees. We stared into each other's eyes 'til one of us would break, No use to apologize, what diff'rence would it make?
So sing your praise of progress and of the Doom Machine, The naked truth is still taboo whenever it can be seen. Lady Luck, who shines on me, will tell you where I'm at, I hate myself for lovin' you, but I should get over that.
You angel you You got me under your wing. The way you walk and the way you talk I feel I could almost sing.
You angel you You're as fine as anything's fine. The way you walk and the way you talk It sure plays on my mind.
You know I can't sleep at night for trying, Never did feel this way before. I get up at night and walk the floor. If this is love then gimme more And more and more and more and more.
You angel you You're as fine as can be. The way you smile like a sweet baby child, It just falls all over me.
You know I can't sleep at night for trying Never did feel this way before, Never did get up and walk the floor. If this is love then gimme more And more and more and more.
You angel you You got me under your wing. The way you walk and the way you talk It says everything.
I love you more than ever, more than time and more than love, I love you more than money and more than the stars above, Love you more than madness, more than waves upon the sea, Love you more than life itself, you mean that much to me.
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete, I've said goodbye to haunted rooms and faces in the street, To the courtyard of the jester which is hidden from the sun, I love you more than ever and I haven't yet begun.
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live, When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give, Dried the tears up from my dreams and pulled me from the hole, Quenched my thirst and satisfied the burning in my soul.
You gave me babies one, two, three, what is more, you saved my life, Eye for eye and tooth for tooth, your love cuts like a knife, My thoughts of you don't ever rest; they'd kill me if I lie, I'd sacrifice the world for you and watch my senses die.
The tune that is yours and mine to play upon this earth, We'll play it out the best we know, whatever it is worth, What's lost is lost; we can't regain what went down in the flood, But happiness to me is you and I love you more than blood.
It's never been my duty to remake the world at large, Nor is it my intention to sound a battle charge, 'Cause I love you more than all of that with a love that doesn't bend, And if there is eternity I'd love you there again.
Oh, can't you see that you were born to stand by my side. And I was born to be with you, you were born to be my bride, You're the other half of what I am; you're the missing piece. And I love you more than ever with that love that doesn't cease.
You turn the tide on me each day and teach my eyes to see, Just bein' next to you is a natural thing for me. And I could never let you go, no matter what goes on, 'Cause I love you more than ever now that the past is gone.
