Christy wants a millionaire, a miracle in the rain
Everybody's lookin' to find their heaven, never come back again People keep searchin' up and down Joinin' in the latest thing And I run around lookin' for love Waitin' for bells to ring Riders to the stars We are flyin', we are fallin' And I can see the clouds rollin' by Riders to the stars We are sailin', we are soarin' And all we can do is try We are riders to the stars We are riders to the stars Billy wants a fancy car, says it's just what he needs Folks into showin', just what they're blowin' Followin' foolish leads And Christy wants to find her millionaire, her miracle in the rain And I lift my head right up to the sun Never look down again Riders to the stars We are flyin', we are fallin' And I can see the clouds rollin' by Riders to the stars We are sailin', we are soarin' And all we can do is try We are riders to the stars We are riders to the stars Some folks have money, and others survive God knows, it's not easy just bein' alive The dreamer dreams on, and dreams never die Long as we try, long as we try Riders to the stars We are flyin', we are fallin' And I can see the clouds rollin' by Riders to the stars We are sailin', we are soarin' And all we can do is try We are riders to the stars We are riders to the stars |

Why don't we live together
Only the two of us, we'll learn to trust Don't have to say forever 'Cause we know the rain could start and break our hearts But we'll never find the future if we hesitate We'll spend our life waiting Why don't we live together Taking it day by day we'll find a way To build us a dream that's better And still have our wings to fly if love should die Can't spend our life rehearsing all these lines of love It's time to raise the curtain Why don't we live together whether loves lives or dies At least we know we tried We've both been burned before But now we know this love is sure And there'll be no more sorrow This love is burnin' bright it lights up tomorrow Why don't we live together Takin' life's rocky ride Side by side Sailin' thru stormy weather Searchin' for sunny skies with open eyes Sharin' the tears and the laughter is the only way We'll find the love we're after Why don't we live together Whether love lives or dies At least we'll know we tried |

There you are,
Looking just the same as you did last time I touched you And here I am, Close to getting tangled up inside the thought of you Do you love him As much as I love her And will that love be strong When old feelings start to stir Looks like we made it Left each other all the way To another love Looks like we made it Or I thought so till today Until you were there, everywhere And all I could taste was love the way we made it Loves so strange Playing hide and seek with hearts and always hurting And we′re the fools Standing close enough to touch those burning memories And if I hold you for the sake of all those times Love made us lose our minds Could I ever let you go Oh no we made it Left each other all the way To another love Looks like we made it Or I thought so till today Until you were there, everywhere And all I could taste was love the way we made it. Ohhhhhh, we made it Looks like we made it, Left each other all the way To another love Looks like we made it, Or I thought so till today Until you were there, everywhere And all I could taste was love the way we made it Looks like we made it Oh Babe, we made it |

This one will never sell
They'll never understand I don't even sing it well I try but I just can't But I sing it every night And I fight to keep it in Cause, this one's for you This one's for you I've done a hundred songs From fantasies to lies This one's so real for me That I'm the one who cries And I sing it every night And I fight to hide the tears Cause this one's for you This one's for you This one's for you wherever you are To say that nothings been the same Since we've been apart This one's for all the love we once knew Like everything else I have This one's for you, ohhhhh I've got it all it seems For all it means to me But I sing of things I miss And things that used to be And I wonder ever night If you might just miss me too And I sing for you, I sing for you This one's for you wherever I go To say the things I should have said Things that you should know This one's to say that all I can do Is hope that you will hear me sing Cause this ones' for you This one's for you, wherever you are To say that nothings been the same Since we've been apart This one's for all the love we once knew Like everything else I have this ones for you.... |

Singing to the world
Its time we let the spirt come in Let it come on in I′m singing to the world Everybody′s caught in the spin Look at where we′ve been We′ve been running around Year after year Blinded it with pride Blinded it with fear But its daybreak If you wanna′ to beleave It can be daybreak Ain′t no time to grieve Say its daybreak If you ′ll only beleave And let it shine,shine,shine all around the world Singing to the world What′s the point of puttin′ it down There′s so much love to share I′m singing to the world Don′t you see it all comes around The feeling′s every where Where we′ve been closing our eyes Day after day Cover in clouds losin′ our way Hey but its daybreak If you wanna′ to beleave It can be daybreak Ain′t know time to grieve And its daybreak And if you only beleave And then let it shine,shine,shine all around the world And its daybreak If you wanna′ to believe It can be daybreak Ain′t no time to grieve And its daybreak And if you only believe Then let it shine,shine,shine all around the world Come on and let it Shine,shine,shine all around the world Hey and its daybreak Can you feel it And its daybreak Can′t you sing it That its daybreak Sunshine |

Got dust on my piano
And dishes in the sink Your side of the bed is cold I haven't slept a wink So I read your goodbye letter To the face inside my drink Lay me down and roll me out to sea Got your picture in my wallet And some pictures in my mind A pocketful of memories I never thought I'd find And it's rainin' like a Monday And the world seems so unkind Lay me down and roll me out to sea Lay me down roll me out to sea Callin' on a mighty wave to cover me Lay me down roll me out to sea Heaven if you're ready shine your light on me Now listen to my story cause I haven't told it all I saw her with her new love She turned to me and called When they asked, “how ya' doin'? I coulda' crumbled like a wall So lay me down and roll me out to sea Lay me down roll me out to sea Callin' on a mighty wave to cover me Lay me down roll me out to sea Heaven if you're ready shine your light on me |

Last night, I waved goodbye
now it seems years, I′m back in the city, where nothing is clear, and thoughts of me, holding you, bringing us near, and tell me; When will our eyes meet, when can I touch you, when will this strong yearning end, and when will I hold you again. Time in New England took me away, to long rocky beaches, and you, by the bay, we started a story who′s end must now wait and tell me; When will our eyes meet, when can I touch you, when will this strong yearning end, and when can I hold you again. I feel the change comin′ I feel the wind blow, I feel brave and darin′ I feel my blood flow, With you I can bring out all the love that I have, With you...there′s a heaven so earth ain′t so bad, and tell me. When will our eyes meet, when can I touch you, when will this string yearning end, and when can I hold you again.again |

I am a studio musician,
We've never met, But you know me well. I am the English horn, Who plays the poignant counterline Upon the song you heard While making love in some hotel. I am a part of you, I've never tried for fame, You'll never know my name. I am the strings that enter softly, Or three guitars That glitter gold. I am the thousand trumpet lines That were an afterthought, Intended as a way To get a dying record sold. I never ride the road, I never play around, I play what they set down. I'm a working musician, Living from week to week, I'm the voice through which empty men try to speak. A studio musician, Blowin' the chance I seek. And when the woodwind cushion rises, I start to dream, On a low brass bed, But I awake to horns, The drummer calls to me, We're up to letter D. I'm a man of the moment, Pop is my stock and trade, Singles, jingles, and demos, Conveniently made. A studio musician, Whose music will die unplayed. A studio musician, Whose music could have died unplayed. |

I've been alive forever,
And I wrote the very first song. I put the words and the melodies together, I am music, And I write the songs. I write the songs that make the whole world sing. I write the songs of love and special thing s. I write the songs that make the young girls cry. I write the songs, I write the songs. My home lies deep within you, And I've got my own place in your sole. Now, when I look out through your eyes, I'm you'g again, even though I'm very old. Chorus Oh my music makes you dance And gives your spirit to take a chance, And I wrote some rock 'n' roll so you can move. Music fills your heart, Well, that's a real fine place to start. It's from me it?s for you, It's from you, it?s from me, It's a world wide symphony. Chorus I am music, and I write the songs. |
