I hardly ever thank the stars above
For sending me your very precious love
You never hear me say a prayer
Of thanks to someone 'way up there
Who gave me such a lucky *break*

Oh, no, darling
Only with ev'ry breath I take

And every time we have to be apart
I hardly ever find you in my heart
And when it comes to thinking of
The thought of losing all your love
I never worry how my heart would ache

Oh, no, darling
Only with ev'ry breath I *take*
Only with ev'ry little step I *make*
Only with ev'ry little beat of my *heart*
And ev'ry single minute I'm *awake*

Oh, no, darling
Only with ev'ry breath I *take*
Only with ev'ry little step I *make*
Only with ev'ry little beat of my *heart*
And ev'ry single minute I'm awake

Oh-aah, ev'ry little breath I take
Ev'ry little step I *make*
Ah, ah, ah, ah, uh, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ev'ry breath I take

Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart
Sweet Mary Lou I'm so in love with you.
I knew Mary Lou, we'd never part
So hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart.

You passed me by one sunny day
Flashed those big brown eyes my way
And oh I wanted you for ever more.
Now I'm not one that's get around
I swear my feet's stuck to the ground
And though I never did meet you before,
I said:

Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart
Sweet Mary Lou I'm so in love with you.
I knew Mary Lou, we'd never part
So hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart.

I saw your lips, I heard your voice
Belive me I just had no choise
Wild horses couldn't make me stay away
I thought about a moonlit night
My arms around you good and tight
That's all I had to see for me to say
Hey,hey,hey.
Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart
Sweet Mary Lou I'm so in love with you.
I knew Mary Lou, we'd never part
So hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart.

So hello Mary lou goodbye heart
Well hello Mary Lou goodbye heart
Yes hello Mary Lou goodbye heart.

Only love can break a heart, only love can mend it again

Last night I hurt you but darlin' remember this
Only love can break a heart, only love can mend it again, mm, mm

You know I'm sorry, I'll prove it with just one kiss
Only love can break a heart, only love can mend it agai-ain

Give me a chance to make up for the harm I've done
Try to forgive me and let's keep the two of us one.

Please let me hold you and love you for always and always

Only love can break a heart only love can mend it agai-ain
Only love can break a heart only love can mend it again

If I didn't have a dime,and I didn't take the time
To play the juke box
Wh0a-o-o Saturday night would have been a
sad and lonely night for me

And if you weren't standing there
Ruby lips and golden hair, beside the juke box
Whoa-o-o I'd have lost my chance to hold
You while you danced with me,umm hum

While the records turned and turned
We danced and learned, our hearts had
yearned for this
Neath the moon we walked and walked and
talked of love, and then...we kissed

Now with every sweet caress
Oh my darlin' have I blessed that
little juke box
Whoa-o-o love songs that they sing
Wouldn't mean a single thing
Even though you're standing there
Ruby lips and golden hair
If I didn't have a dime and I didn't
Take the time...to play the juke box

repeat above verse

I live on the West side, she lives on the East side of the stree-ee-eet
And though they say that East is East and West is West
And never the twain shall meet
Each morning I face her window and pray that our love can be
'Cause that brownstone house where my baby lives
Is Mecca (Mecca, Mecca, Mecca) Mecca (Mecca, Mecca) to me-e-e-e-e-e.

Oh she's my dream goddess and her ruby lips are so div-i-ine
And though her folks say we're too young to know of love
I worship at her shrine
Each morning I face her window and pray that our love can be
'Cause that brownstone house where my baby lives
Is Mecca (Mecca, Mecca, Mecca) Mecca (Mecca, Mecca) to me-e-e-e-e-e.

Each morning I face her window and pray that our love can be
'Cause that brownstone house where my baby lives
Is Mecca (Mecca, Mecca, Mecca) Mecca (Mecca, Mecca) to me-e-e-e-e-e.

Stand beside me all the while no matter what goes wrong
Separately we're weak, together we'll be strong

For true love never runs smooth,
But I don't care, 'cause
True love is worth all the pain,
The heartaches and tears that we may share

When the world outside my arms is pulling us apart
Press your lips to mine and hold me with your heart

For true love never runs smooth,
That's what they say,
But true love is worth all the pain,
The heartaches and tears we have to face

For true love never runs smooth,
That's what they say, but
True love is worth all the pain,
The heartaches and tears we have to face

Dearest darling I had to write to say that I won't be home anymore
'Cause something happened to me while I was driving home
And I'm not the same anymore
Oh, I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa
Ah, only one day away from your arms
I saw a welcoming light and stopped to rest for the night

And that is when I saw her as I pulled in outside of the small motel she was there
And so I walked up to her, asked where I could get something to eat
And she showed me where.
Oh, I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa
Ah, only one day away from your arms
She took me to the caf챕, I asked her if she would stay, she said "OK"

Oh, I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa
Ah, only one day away from your arms
The jukebox started to play and night time turned into day as we were dancing
Closely, all of a sudden I lost control as I held her charms
And I caressed her, kissed her, told her I'd die
Before I would let her out of my arms

Oh, I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa
Ah, only one day away from your arms
I hate to do this to you but I love somebody new, what can I do?
And I can never, never, never go home again.

Last night I needed you so bad
I was alone and feeling sad
But now that I recall
You left me after all
The only girl I've ever had

I never ever made you cry
No, no I didn't even try
You promised you'd be true
You said you loved me too
My only girl told me a lie

And maybe there'll come a day
When I can smile and say
She used to be my girl

But now there's nothing left to say
She only wanted me for play
I learned my lesson fast
But now I know at last
That girl belongs to yesterday

My only girl
My only girl
I learned my lesson fast
But now I know at last
That girl belongs to yesterday
That girl she belongs to yesterday

It hurts to be in love, when the only one you love
Turns out to be someone who's not in love with you.
It hurts to love her so, when deep down inside you know,
She will never want you, no matter what you do.

And so you cry a little bit (hurts to be in love)
Oh you die a little bit (hurts to be in love)
Day and night, night and day
It hurts to be in love this way.

How long can I exist?
Wanting lips I've never kissed
She gives all her kisses, to somebody else.
She thinks I'm just a friend
Though it hurts, I must pretend
The only way to keep her, is to keep it to myself.

And so I cry a little bit (hurts to be in love)
Oh I die a little bit (hurts to be in love)
Day and night, night and day
It hurts to be in love this way.

And so I cry a little bit (hurts to be in love)
Oh I die a little bit (hurts to be in love)
Day and night, night and day
It hurts to be in love this way.

It hurts to be in love, day and night, night and day
It hurts to be in love. night and day, day and night
It hurts to be in love, day and night, night and day...

Isn't that my girl
And is that my best friend
Aren't they walking much to close together
And it don't look like their talkin about the weather

I must be seeing things
Oh no it can't be true
I must be hearing things
When I can hear her say to him
I want you, I need you, I love you

Looking through a tear
I can see him kissing her
I can feel my poor heart slowly breaking
I'll do anything if only I was mistakin'

I must be seeing things
Oh no it can't be true
I must be hearing things
When I can hear him say to her
Forget him, It's over, Your mine now

Instrumental.....

I must be seeing things
I thought I'll never see
I must be hearing things
You made a fool of me
I must be seeing things
And hearing things

Oh no, I need you so, Oh please don't go.....

Once there was a boy who left the bed he slept in
And he ran away 'cause he felt life was cruel
A killer of fools was walking close behind him
The boy was afraid that he was a fool

Oh the fool killer is a giant, they say
He chops down the fool and he goes on his way
That runaway boy was a runaway boy
Very much like you

So he climbed the hills and roamed the woods and valleys
Just get up and go became his golden rule
A killer of fools was walking in the shadows
The boy was afraid that he was a fool

Then there came a day a man and woman found him
Loving meeting smile and then they called him son
No more did he fear that wicked old fool
I know that it's true because I was the one

Oh, the fool killer is a giant, they say
He chops down the fool and he goes on his way
Well, who was the fool, tell me
The boy in his bed, or the boy you used to know

Runaway boy, listen
Runaway boy, better grow on better

A thousand hands applaud tonight
I sing my songs my star shines bright
I stop and smile I take my bow
I leave the stage and then somehow

Backstage I'm lonely, backstage I cry
You've gone away and each night I seem to die a little

Out on that stage I play the star
I'm famous now I've come so far
A famous fool I let love go
I didn't know I'd miss you so

Backstage I'm lonely, backstage I cry
Hating myself since I let you say goodbye

Every night a different room
Every night a different club
And yet I'm lonely all the time
When I sign my autograph
When I hold an interview
Can't get you out of my mind

Come back my love come back to me
I need you now so desperately
What good is fame it's just a game
I'd give it all to be the same

Backstage I wait now, hoping I'll see
Your smiling face waiting there backstage for me
Your smiling face waiting backstage for me
Backstage
Backstage

I've tried so hard to make you see
That I'd be what you want me to be
But no matter what I do
I just can't get through to you
You don't want to love me
Or are you tired of me?

Ohh take my heart
That's all I've got to give
If you don't want me
I don't want to live
Don't run away to somebody new
Nobody needs your love more than I do
Nobody needs your love more than I do

Why can't it be like before?
Don't you need me anymore?
Why do I go on this way?
You don't hear a word I say
If you care about me
Please don't leave without me

Ohh take my heart
That's all I've got to give
If you don't want me
I don't want to live
And baby please don't say that we're through
Nobody needs your love more than I do (repeat while fading)

Can't I cry? A little bit
There's nobody to notice it
Can't I cry if I want to
No one cares

Why can't I pretend
That you love me again
All I've had has been taken from me
Now I'm crying and tears don't become me

Just one smile the pain's forgiven
Just one kiss the hurt's all gone
Just one smile to make my life worth living
A little dream to build my world upon

How I wish I could say
All the things that I want to say
If some way you could see what's in my heart
I don't ask for much
A look, a smile, a touch
Try to forget Lord knows I'm trying
But it's hard to forget when your whole world is dying

Just one smile the pain's forgiven
Just one kiss the hurt's all gone
Just one smile to make my life worth living
A little dream to build my world upon
Just one smile the pain's forgiven
Just one kiss the hurt's all gone
Just one smile to make my life worth living
A little dream to build my world upon

Here I've just lost a lifetime
I have just lost my mind
So Mr World look after that girl
The one that I just left behind at 24 Sycamor

Where did my baby go?
Who's gonna mend my rainbow?
Who's gonna separate all the swimming around,
Back there on the ground
Flowing right under the gate of 24 Sycamor
Where did my baby go?

Windows black, watched me crying and they said
It's all over, you have lost her
Why don't you run away?
What could I say? I said,

Where's the hand that I used to hold?
Once so warm but tonight so cold
Now she's gone we both must share the pain
She gone

My life is done, it's ended
Just one more thing to
I'll take a last look and then close the book
On someone that I once knew at 24 Sycamor

Where did my baby go?
Where's the hand that I used to hold?
Once so warm but tonight so cold
Now she's gone we both must share the pain
She gone and I say

Where's the hand that I used to hold?
Once so warm but tonight so cold
Now she's gone we both must share the pain
