"B.F.P.O."
Army dreamers "Mammy's hero" "B.F.P.O." "Mammy's hero" Our little army boy Is coming home from B.F.P.O. I've a bunch of purple flowers To decorate a mammy's hero Mourning in the aerodrome The weather warmer, he is colder Four men in uniform To carry home my little soldier "What could he do? Should have been a rock star" But he didn't have the money for a guitar "What could he do? Should have been a politician" But he never had a proper education "What could he do? Should have been a father" But he never even made it to his twenties What a waste Army dreamers Ooh, what a waste of Army dreamers Tears o'er a tin box Oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know Like a chicken with a fox He couldn't win the war with ego Give the kid the pick of pips And give him all your stripes and ribbons Now he's sitting in his hole He might as well have buttons and bows "What could he do? Should have been a rock star" But he didn't have the money for a guitar "What could he do? Should have been a politician" But he never had a proper education "What could he do? Should have been a father" But he never even made it to his twenties What a waste Army dreamers Ooh, what a waste of Army dreamers Ooh, what a waste of all that Army dreamers Army dreamers Army dreamers, oh "B.F.P.O." Did-n-did-n-did-n-dum Army dreamers Did-n-did-n-did-n-dum "Mammy's hero" "B.F.P.O." Army Dreamers "Mammy's hero" "B.F.P.O." No harm heroes "Mammy's hero" "B.F.P.O." Army dreamers. "Mammy's hero" "B.F.P.O." No harm heroes ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By SAGER, CAROLE BAYER/MANCHESTER, MELISSA <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing, WINDSWEPT HOLDINGS LLC, CARLIN AMERICA INC</i> |

Bright eyes is here again
And I am so low, and so alone Sweet lady night Keep me from sunny's light. Slippin' through stone I'm into bein' bone. I was raised on the good books of mornin' And I learned how to laugh and get by. I was gamin' and pleasin', With never a reason why. So the promise of heaven was broken And I held on and I didn't care. Just a dance for a changer, A stranger to brush my hair. And I know I'm an angel who's fallen from the sky. And I shine like a star, I burn out, down to die. Crawlin' back to my hurt and my heart, hear me cry. Oh my heart, I cry Oh my heart, I cry Oh my heart, I cry I must cry for the song of my mama For the love lyin' somewhere in me For the devil in dark night Who needed the light to see Touch me once if you like, make me over. I am lust, I am am sleek, and I'm good. But I'm startin' to shiver Climb up and feel the sun. And I know I'm an angel who's fallen from the sky. And I shine like a star, I burn out, down to die. And I'm tryin' to get back to my hurt or my heart Oh my heart, my heart Oh my heart, my heart Oh, Oh my heart I cry Oh I cry Ah, I cry Ooh I cry I cry |

Whatever it is, it'll keep till morning. Haven't we both got better things to do? Midnight blue. Even though simple things become rough, haven't we had enough? And I think we can make it. One more time, if we try. One more time for all the old times. For all the times you told me you need me, Needing me now is something I could use. Midnight blue. Wouldn't you give your hand to a friend? Maybe it's not the end. And I think we can make it. One more time, if we try. One more time for all the old times. Midnight blue. I think we can make it. I think we can make it. Wouldn't you give your hand to a friend? Think of me as your friend, And I think we can make it. One more time, if we try. One more time for all of the old old old times. |

Grace and John are in their morning places
He looks at the paper: she looks straight ahead Neither one is hungry, but they need to be fed. Yesterday the kids came by to see them, Celebrating 30 years of holding on, Lift a loving cup, a cup of number one. Chorus "Look across the table John, look across the table to me"; There's still a young girl in the old girls face. "Look across the table honey." So the day begins, through the eyes of Grace. Late at night, when she can hear him sleeping, Reaching in the darkness for a dream or two; What she doesn't know is that he's dreaming too, Something in the mirror will remind her; Something 'bout the moonlight shining on the bed; Women don't get older, just a deeper shade of red. Chorus "Tell me what to do Johnny, tell me what to do with all this freedom!" "Tell me what to do Honey, tell me what to do 'bout all my dreamin'!" Just to catch his eye when she's not looking, just to be surprised by such an old idea. Just to see your life seen thought the eyes of Grace. "Look across the table John, look across the table to me"; There's still a young girl in the old girls face. More than just a memory. So the day begins, through the eyes of Grace. |

I wake up and see
The light of the day Shining on me Make my own time It's mine to spend Think to myself My own best friend It's not so bad all alone Comin' home to myself again Now I understand Whatever I feel is whoever I am Watching my life and how its grown Looking on back to friends I've known Its not so bad all alone Coming home to myself again It's not so bad to get lost in my tears And to laugh and to cry for the years gone by Oh my, oh my Now somehow I know I've come a long way Got a long way to go But something inside Keeps making me strong And in the bad times I'll get along 'Cause it's not so bad all alone Comin' home to myself again I'm comin' home |

I was looking out the window just this morning.
Wasn't finding inspiration in my bed. I was wondering if all this was a warning, 'Cause I'd rather waste the day than work instead. It's been quite a while since I could feel my heart beat. I appreciate you offering me yours, But I got to use my own and let it guide me. It's the only thing to get me home for sure. Let's hear some good news for the lady. She's coming out from far behind And if she seems a little slow, It only goes to show That everything will grow in its own time Well I haven't really lost my sense of humor; (say) it all depends on where you're coming from. But I would tend to give some credence to the rumor That this bird in flight just might be on the run. Let's hear some good news for the lady. She's coming out from far behind. So if she seems a little slow, It only goes to show That everything will grow in its own time I sort of hope you'll understand (that I've been there before) That I can't always join the band you want And if I hide behind the words I'm saying, Don't let it fool you; you're not comin' through. I need some good news for my lady. She's coming up and wants to shine. So if she needs the time to pause, Just give her room because She'll be comin' round the mountain in her time. (You know) everything will grow in its own time. |

Please, don't let this feeling end
It's everything I am Everything I want to be I can see what's mine now Finding out what's true Since I found you Looking through the eyes of love Now, I can take the time I can see my life As it comes up shining now Reaching out to touch you I can feel so much Since I found you Looking through the eyes of love And now, I do believe That even in a storm we'll find some light Knowing you're beside me, I'm all right Please, don't let this feeling end It might not come again And I want to remember How it feels to touch you How I feel so much Since I found you Looking through the eyes of love |

Somebody told me a long, long time ago
O baby - I feel a change in me Is comin' on I've found the strength I need To carry on Something's come over me at last Sweet darlin' - long as you stay by me I'm halfway home I can see brighter days before me Tho' it's been stormy At least I know I'm not alone 'Cause there's just too many people In this world Who are undecided There's just too many broken people Afraid to take a stand There's just too many lonely people Livin' in a house divided By loneliness and sorrow I'll never understand Somebody told me a long, long time ago Remember when you need something to believe in Look in my eyes to find your heaven I'll make it happen - I need to know you're there 'Cause there's just too many people In this world Who are undecided There's just too many broken people Afraid to take a stand There's just too many lonely people Livin' in a house divided By loneliness and sorrow It's more than I can stand |

When I look deep into your eyes
That's when I know I'm living For every moment of our lives We should be forgiving, oh We'll hold each other when we cry Even if we fall somehow We'll be lovers after all In time, we'll learn to understand The meaning of together, my love If we keep walking hand in hand Then nothing else will matter There will be no need to hide Feelings that we keep inside We'll hold each other when we cry Even if we fall somehow We'll be lovers after all We'll hold each other when we cry Even if we fall somehow We'll be lovers after all Lovers, lovers after all We're still lovers Lovers, oh, lovers Lovers after all |

I know it's late to call, I don't blame you if you're angry But these are things that only old lovers understand I remember rainy nights like this when we'd go to bed real early (And) try to catch each other's dreams and wake up holding hands We'd light a fire in the morning and keep it burning strong Outside it could be storming, but we never felt so warm We'd curl up on the couch and trade the world for our love song We'd light a fire in the morning and make love all day long I hope you know it's not that I've got no one else to go to Cause I keep thinking of you even when I'm not alone Now I'd love to hear you say I'm still the one you can't say "no" to and that's you'll take me back tonight and for all the love we've known We'd light a fire in the morning and keep it burning strong Outside it could be storming, but we never felt so warm We'd curl up on the couch and trade the world for our love song We'd light a fire in the morning and make love all day long |

Baby cried the day
the circus came to town 'cause she didn't want parades just passin' by her So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown While she danced without a net upon the wire I know a lot about 'er 'cause, you see Baby is an awful lot like me Don't cry out loud Just keep it inside learn how to hide your feelings Fly high and proud And if you should fall remember you almost had it all Baby saw that when they pulled that big top down They left behind her dreams among the litter The different kind of love she thought she'd found There was nothin' left but sawdust and some glitter But baby can't be broken 'cause you see She had the finest teacher that was me- I told 'er Don't cry out loud Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings Fly high and proud And if you should fall remember you almost had it all Don't cry out loud Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings Fly high and proud And if you should fall remember you almost made it Don't cry out loud Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings Fly high and proud And if you should fall remember you almost had it all - |

She's so very nice you should break the ice
Let her know that she's on your mind Whatcha tryin' to hide when you know inside She's the best thing you'll ever find? Ahh, can't you see it? Don't you think she's feeling the same? Ahh, I guarantee it, She's the one that's calling your name CHORUS: You should hear how she talks about you, You should hear what she says She says she would be lost without you, She's half out of her head (out of her head) You should hear how she talks about you, She just can't get enough. She says she would be lost without you, She is really in love. (spoken) She's in love with you boy I ain't tellin' tales, anybody else Could repeat the things that I've heard She's been talkin' sweet and it's on the street How our girlfriend's spreadin' the word Ahh, you should hurry, You should let her know how you feel Ahh, now don't you worry If you're scared this love is for real You should hear how she talks about you, You should hear what she says She says she would be lost without you, She's half out of her head (out of her head) You should hear how she talks about you, She is really in love (She is really in love) Ahh, you should hurry You should let her know how you feel Ahh, now don't you worry If you're scared this love is for real CHORUS Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk Can'tcha see?

A bunch of weary voices
I mistook for angels Telling me what to do with my life Leaving me no choices Putting me through changes Telling me what to do with my life Oh I'm sure I won't be back for more Oh I am in search of you My caravan I will bring my red beads You will bring what you need Riding through this journey On this night Time to free the gypsy Time for you to see me Riding through this journey On this night Time to free the gypsy Time for you to see me Riding from the darkness To the light Oh I'm sure I won't be back for more Oh I am in search of you My caravan Oh I'm sure I won't be back for more, no Oh I am in search of you My caravan Oh my life's begun Oh my time has come It's come It's come It's come I can feel it come I can see it grow I found my caravan Oh I'm sure I won't be back for more Oh I am in search of you My caravan Oh I'm sure I won't be back for more, no Oh I am in search of you My caravan |

When your heroes go up in a puff, And there's not enough to hang on to And the ones you would count on to call They all fall down all around you Then you've got to believe there's more It is the reason we're put here for It's just you and I When the legends' over - and we have just begun We can look to each other to see us through Just you and I When a miracle's long overdue And there's no one who's gonna come to guide you So you keep looking up to the sky - wondering why The clouds won't hide you At the times when you're most afraid That is the reason why dreams are made It's just you and I When the legend's over - and we have just begun We can look to each other to see us through Just you and I From: "Jorge Luis Contreras" |

Well, hello there
Good old friend of mine You've been reaching for yourself For such a long time There's so much to say No need to explain Just an open door for you To come in from the rain It's a long road When you're all alone And someone like you Will always take the long way home There's no right or wrong I'm not here to blame I just want to be the one Who keep you from the rain From the rain And it looks like sunny skies Now that I know you're alright Time has left us Older And wiser I know I am 'Cause I think of us Like an old cliche But it doesn't matter 'Cause I love you anyway Come in from the rain And it looks like sunny skies Now that I know you're alright Time has left us Older But Wiser I know I am And it's good to know My best friend has come home again And I think of us Like an old cliche But it doesn't matter 'Cause I love you anyway Come in from the rain Come in from the rain Come in from the rain |
