Sally called when she got the word
She said, 'I suppose you've heard about Alice.' Well, I rushed to the window and I looked outside Well, I could hardly believe my eyes As a big limousine rolled up into Alice's drive I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know 'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice We grew up together Two kids in the park Carved our initials deep in the bark Me and Alice ... Now she walks through the door With her head held high Just for a moment I caught her eyes As a big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know 'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice Then Sally called back and asked how I felt She said, 'I know how to help get over Alice.' She said, 'Now Alice is gone but I'm still here. You know I've been waiting twenty-four years.' And the big limousine disappeared I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know 'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice |

I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories and play our songs again When i got to the garden party they all knew my name But no one recognized me i didn't look the same But it's all right now I learned my lesson well You see you can't please ev'ryone so You got to please yourself People came for miles around everyone was there Yoko brought her walrus there was magic in the air And over in the corner much to my surprise Mr. Hughes hid in dylan's shoes wearing his disguise I played them all the old songs i thought that's why they came No one heard the music we didn't look the same I said hello to mary lou she belongs to me When i sang a song about a honky-tonk it was time to leave Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped johnny b. Goode Playing guitar like a ring an' a bell and lookin' like he should If you gotta play at garden parties i wish you a lot a' luck But if memories were all i sang i'd ratherdrive a truck |

Just about a year ago, i set out on the road
Seekin' my fame and fortune, lookin' for a pot of gold Things got bad, and things got worse I guess you will know the tune Oh ! Lord, stuck in lodi again Rode in on the greyhound, i'll be walkin' out if i go I was just passin' through, must be seven months or more Ran out of time and money Looks like they took my friends Oh ! Lord, i'm stuck in lodi again The man from the magazine said i was on my way Somewhere i lost connections, ran out of songs to play I came into town, a one night stand Looks like my plans fell through Oh ! Lord, stuck in lodi again If i only had a dollar, for ev'ry song i've sung And ev'ry time i've had to play while people sat there drunk You know, i'd catch the next train Back to where i live Oh ! Lord, i'm stuck in lodi again Oh ! Lord, i'm stuck in lodi again |

I've had many times
I can tell you Times when innocence i'd trade for company And children saw me crying I thought i'd had my share of that But these miss you nights Are the longest Midnight diamonds Stud my heaven Southward burning Lie the jewels that eye my place And the warm winds That embrace me Jst as surely kissed your face Yeah these miss you nights Are the longest How i miss you I'm not likely to tell I'm a man and cold day light Buys the pride i'd rather sell All my secrets Are wasted affair You know them well Thinking of my going How to cut the thread And leave it all behind Looking windward for my compass I take each day as it arrives But these miss you nights Are the longest Lay down all thought of your surrender It's only me who's killing time Lay down all dreams and themes once remembered It's just the same This miss you game Yeah these miss you nights Are the longest |

No matter what they do No matter what they teach us What we believe is true No matter how they call us No matter how they attack No matter where they take us We'll find our own way back I can't deny what i believe I can't be what i'm not I'll know our love forever I know no matter what If only tears were laughter If only night was day If only prayers were answered Then we would hear god say No matter what they tell you No matter what they do No matter what they teach you What you believe is true And i will keep you safe and strong And sheltered from the storm No matter where it's barren A dream is being born No matter who they follow No matter where they lead No matter how they judge us I'll be everyone you need No matter if the sun don't shine (the sun don't shine) Or if the skies are blue (skies are blue) No matter what the ending My life began with you I can't deny what i believe (what i believe) I can't be what i'm not (i know i know) I know this love's forever That's all that matters now, no matter what No no matter what..

Looking from a window above
It's like a story of love Can you hear me Came back only yesterday I'm moving further away Want you near me All i needed was the love you gave All i needed for another day And all i ever knew Only you Sometimes when i think of her name When it's only a game And i need you Listen to the words that you say It's getting harder to stay When i see you All i needed was the love you gave All i needed for another day And all i ever knew Only you This is going to take a long time And i wonder what's mine Can't take no more Wonder if you'll understand It's just the touch of your hand Behind a closed door All i needed was the love you gave All i needed for another day And all i ever knew Only you |

I am sailing, i am sailing,
Home again 'cross the sea. I am sailing, stormy waters, To be near you, to be free. I am flying, i am flying, Like a bird 'cross the sky. I am flying, passing high clouds, To be with you, to be free. Can you hear me, can you hear me Thro' the dark night, far away, I am dying, forever trying, To be with you, who can say. Can you hear me, can you hear me, Thro' the dark night far away. I am dying, forever trying, To be with you, who can say. We are sailing, we are sailing, Home again 'cross the sea. We are sailing stormy waters, To be near you, to be free. Oh lord, to be near you, to be free. Oh lord, to be near you, to be free, Oh lord. |

As i walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things But happiness is just an illusion Filled with sadness and confusion What becomes of the brokenhearted Who had love that's now departed I know i've got to find Some kind of peace of mind, baby The roots of love grow all around But for me they come tumbling down Every day heartaches grow a little stronger I can't stand things pain much longer I walk in shadows searching for light Cold and alone, no comfort in sight Hopin' and praying for someone who'll care Always moving and going nowhere What becomes of the brokenhearted Who had love that's now departed I know i've got to find Some kind of peace of mind, help me, please I'm searching though i don't succeed But someone look, there's a growing need All is lost, there's no place for beginning All that's left is an unhappy ending Now what becomes of the brokenhearted Who had love that's now departed I know i've got to find Some kind of peace of mind I'll be searching everywhere Just to find someone to care I'll be looking every day I know i'm gonna find a way Nothing gonna stop me now I'll find a way somehow And i'll be searching everywhere I know i'll find it somewhere |

You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye Your scarf it was apricot You had one eye on the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner They'd be your partner, and... You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you You're so vain, i'll bet you think this song is about you Don't you? Don't you? You had me several years ago when i was still quite naive Well you said that we made such a pretty pair And that you would never leave But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee Clouds in my coffee, and... I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee Clouds in my coffee, and... Well i hear you went up to saratoga and your horse naturally won Then you flew your lear jet up to nova scotia To see the total eclipse of the sun Well you're where you should be all the time And when you're not you're with Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend Wife of a close friend, and... |

I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow What started out as friendship, has grown stronger I only wish I had the strength to let it show I tell myself that I can't hold out forever I said there is no reason for my fear 'Cause I feel so secure when we're together You give my life direction, you make everything so clear And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight You're a candle in the window On a cold dark winter's night And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might And I can't fight this feeling anymore I've forgotten what I've started fighting for It's time to bring this ship into the shore And throw away the oars forever 'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore I've forgotten what I've started fighting for And if I have to crawl upon the floor Come crashing through your door, Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you I've been running round in circles in my mind And it always seems that I'm following you, girl 'Cause you take me to the places, that alone I'd never find And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight You're a candle in the window On a cold, dark winter's night And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might And I can't fight this feeling anymore I've forgotten what I've started fighting for It's time to bring this ship into the shore And throw away the oars forever 'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore I've forgotten what I've started fighting for And if I have to crawl upon the floor Come crashing through your door Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore |

Had offers but don't know which one to take Please don't tell them how you found me Don't tell them how you found me Give me a break, give me a break Seems it never rains in Southern California Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before It never rains in California But girl, don't they warn ya it pours man it pours |

You packed in the morning
I stared out the window and I struggled for something to say You left in the rain without closing the door, I didn't stand in your way Now I miss you more than I missed you before, and now Where I'll find comfort, God knows. Cause you left me just when I needed you most Left me just when I needed you most * Now most every morning I stare out the window and I think about where you might be I've written you letters that I'd like to send If you would just send one to me Cause I need you more than I needed before, and now Where I'll find comfort, God knows Cause you left me just when I needed you most Left me just when I needed you most Cause you left me just when I needed you most Cause you left me just when I needed you most 아침에 당신은 짐을 꾸리고 나는 창밖을 바라보며 뭔가 말하려고 애를 썼어요. 문도 닫지 않은 채로 빗속으로 당신은 떠났죠. 난 떠나가는 당신을 막지 않았어요. 예전에 당신을 그리워했던 것보다 지금 휠씬 더 많이 그리워요. 난 어디서 위로를 받아야 할까요? 가장 필요로 할 때 당신이 떠나버렸으니.. 가장 필요할 때 당신은 날 떠났어요. 요즘은 거의 매일 아침 창밖을 바라보며 당신이 어디에 있을까 생각해요. 당신이 나에게 편지를 보낸다면 나도 보내려고 지금까지 계속 편지를 써 왔어요. |

Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light You were there like a blowtorch burning I was a key that could use a little turning So tired that I couldn't even sleep So many secrets I couldn't keep Promised myself I wouldn't weep One more promise I couldn't keep It seems no one can help me now I'm in too deep there's no way out This time I have really led myself astray Runaway train, never going back Wrong way on a one-way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there Can you help me remember how to smile? Make it somehow all seem worthwhile How on earth did I get so jaded? Life's mystery seems so faded I can go where no one else can go I know what no one else knows Here I am just a-drownin' in the rain With a ticket for a runaway train And everything seems cut and dried Day and night, earth and sky Somehow I just don't believe it Runaway train, never going back Wrong way on a one-way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there Bought a ticket for a runaway train Like a madman laughing at the rain A little out of touch, a little insane It's just easier than dealing with the pain Runaway train, never going back Wrong way on a one-way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there Runaway train, never coming back Runaway train, tearing up the track Runaway train, burning in my veins I run away but it always seems the same |

I can feel a new expression on my face
I can feel a glowing sensation taking place I can hear the guitars playin' lovely tunes Every time that you walk in the room I close my eyes for a second and pretend it's me you want Meanwhile I try to act so nonchalant I feel a summer's night with a magic moon Every time that you walk in the room Baby it's a dream come true Standin' right along side of you Wish I could show you how much I care But I only have the nerve to stare I can feel a something pounding in my brain Just any time that someone speaks your name Trumpets sound I hear thunder boom Every time that you walk in the room |

Long as I remember
The rain been comin' down Clouds of mystery pourin' Confusion on the ground Good men through the ages Tryin' to find the sun And I wonder, still I wonder Who'll stop the rain I went down Virginia Seekin' shelter from the storm Caught up in the fable I watched the tower grow Five year plans and new deals Wrapped in golden chains And I wonder, still I wonder Who'll stop the rain Heard the singers playin' How we cheered for more The crowd had rushed together Tryin' to keep warm Still the rain kept pourin' Fallin' on my ears And I wonder, still I wonder Who'll stop the rain |

I still remember
Oh the night that we first met the moment you looked in my eyes I never will forget And I remember oh the first time that we kissed Remember thinkin to myself could it really be like this And we danced beneath a midnight moon and I took one look, one look at you And I fell in love before I knew And the night stood still and we moved so sweet, sweet and slow To the Rythym of the radio and then your arms reached out and held me close and the night stood still I still remember the song that they were playing then and if I close my eyes I swear that we're back there again Do you remember, Oh the way it used to be we were two hearts on the run so young and wild and free And we danced beneath a midnight moon.. And I remember oh the first time that we kissed remember thinking to myself could it really be like this And we danced beneath a midnight moon and I took one look, one look at you and I fell in love beofre i knew and the night stood stell And we moved so sweet, sweet and slow To the rythm of the radio and then your arms reached out and held me close And the night stood still And we danced beneath a midnight moon... |

A breathless drive on a downtown street,
A motor-bike ride in the midday heat, The dust that hung from the desert skies, Run though we'd run it still burned our eyes, Oh yes we may walk on the wild wild side of life, And our movements traced by a stranger close by your side, And in the shadows of a promise you can take my hand, And show me a way to understand. So if you think you know how to love me, And you think you know what I need, And if you really really want me to stay, You've got to lead the way, Yes if you think you know how to love me, And you think you can stand by me, And if you really really want me to stay, You've got to lead the way. A reckless nite in a nameless town, Then we moved out of sight with a silent sound, A beach that wept with deserted waves, That's where we slept knowing we'd be safe, Now you may think you can walk on the wild, wild side with me, But there's a lot I can learn and a lot that I've yet to see, You know you've got my life lying in your hands, It's up to you to make me understand. So if you think you know how to love me, And you think you know what I need, And if you really really want me to stay, You've got to lead the way, Yes if you think you know how to love me, And you think you can stand by me, And if you really really want me to stay, You've got to lead the way. |

it's just her and the band and the
clean-up man she's countin up her tips, she did alright, she says goodnight she drives home to a 3 room flat She's almost asleep before she turns out the light In her dreams she rides wild horeses And they carry her away on the wind and they never make a sound as they fly above the ground tonight she rides wild horses again She's fallin' in love a time or two somehow it alleays fell through but she's strong she carries on Her life ain't allways gonna be this way She knows she's gonna shne someday But for now she'll escape until the dawn In her dreams she rides wild horses... |

You've been looking round for so long
That you don't know if it's right or it's wrong And I've been thinking that it always seems I'm living in the same old dreams Tonight you're going nowhere And you can't make up your mind But tomorrow you may realize You need a love like mine, so baby... You can love me for the wrong reasons If that's what's gonna make you stay the night And I can pretend that it's not gonna end And in the morning we'll be alright You can love me for the wrong reasons If that's what's gonna get you through the day But you won't find another heart like mine 'cause I'm gonna love you I'm gonna love you in the right ways You can tell yourself it's just the way I smile at you or the things I say But I can make myself believe it's true But it's not real, you're just passing on through And even when you're falling And you tell me that you're not That won't stop me giving you Everything I got, so baby... You can love me for the wrong reasons If that's what's gonna make you stay the night And I can pretend that it's not gonna end And in the morning we'll be alright You can love me for the wrong reasons If that's what's gonna get you through the day But you won't find another heart like mine I'm gonna love you I'm gonna love you in the right ways Oh, and even when you're falling And you can't make up your mind But tomorrow you may realize You need a love like mine, so baby... You can love me for the wrong reasons If that's what's gonna get you through the day But you won't find another heart like mine I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you I'm gonna love you in the right ways |

I know he hurt you
More than anybody could I know he told you More than anybody should some guys don't realize the damage they do Now I know you#re thinkin' I'm everybody else How can I blame you for lookin' out for yourself You know how word Gets around in this town But when the Walls come down At the end of the hall through these paper walls I hear the sound of your tears fallin' down Baby I'll be around when the walls come down He must caught you Lonely in your life He took your kisses and left you lonely inside I heard it all through the the still of the night If I could only wear a prefect disguise I'd be what you want Be what you need in your life But I know it's not here I know it's not now But when the walls come down when the Walls come down... when the walls come down when the wall come down when your healing is done let me be the one where Love is found I'll be around when the walls come down |

I was lost and at an end
It seemed so long I really needed a friend Why should I pretend? I couldn't think I had to see That Southern Comfort comforts me I could be free But where would I be? Then you came along And you sang your song And you made my day In your special way Then I knew That baby it's you Baby it's you You know that it's you I'm thinking of Baby it's you Try my best to get along Make some friends, but something always went wrong I come on too strong Things were really getting rough Getting tired of acting like I was tough I just had enough Then you came along And you sang your song And you made my day In your special way Then I knew That baby it's you Baby it's you You know that it's you I'm thinking of Baby it's you (Chorus x 2) |

A summer evening on Les Champs Elyses
A secret rendezvous they planned for days. I see faces in the crowded cafe, A sound of laughter as the music plays. Jeanne-Claude was a student at the University, Louise-Marie is just a world away. He recall the night they met was warm with laughter The words and music as she turned away. I'll meet you at midnight, Under the moonlight, I'll meet you at midnight... But Jeanne-Claude,Louise-Marie will never be... Each cigarette will light a thousand faces, The shade is passing like a thousand years. Midnight was turning into empty spaces The sound of laughter'd disappeared. I'll meet you at midnight, Under the moonlight, I'll meet you at midnight... Oh, but Jeanne-Claude, Louise-Marie will never be... A summer morning on Les Champs Elyses, The entertainment in the street cafe. The sunlight melting through an open doorway, Jeanne-Claude has left some other day. |

A breathless drive on a downtown street,
A motor-bike ride in the midday heat, The dust that hung from the desert skies, Run though we'd run it still burned our eyes, Oh yes we may walk on the wild wild side of life, And our movements traced by a stranger close by your side, And in the shadows of a promise you can take my hand, And show me a way to understand. So if you think you know how to love me, And you think you know what I need, And if you really really want me to stay, You've got to lead the way, Yes if you think you know how to love me, And you think you can stand by me, And if you really really want me to stay, You've got to lead the way. A reckless nite in a nameless town, Then we moved out of sight with a silent sound, A beach that wept with deserted waves, That's where we slept knowing we'd be safe, Now you may think you can walk on the wild, wild side with me, But there's a lot I can learn and a lot that I've yet to see, You know you've got my life lying in your hands, It's up to you to make me understand. So if you think you know how to love me, And you think you know what I need, And if you really really want me to stay, You've got to lead the way, Yes if you think you know how to love me, And you think you can stand by me, And if you really really want me to stay, You've got to lead the way. |

In the heat of the night when you know it ain't right
But you do what you want to do. You do what you feel but no one can feel like you. In the summertime city ain't it a pity There's so much to tie you down You're leaving tonight for somewhere you can't be found While down at the end of town At a pool hall where they all hang around You can hear them talking 'bout girls they know Talking 'bout what they're gonna do Then you ask yourself: is this where you belong |

Sally called when she got the word
And she said "I suppose you've heard, 'bout Alice" Well I rushed to the window, and I looked outside But I could hardly believe my eyes As a big limousine rode up onto Alice's drive Oh, I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know 'Cos for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice 24 years just waitin' for a chance To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice We grew up together, two kids in the park Carved out initials deep in the bark, me an' Alice Now she walks through the door, with her head held high Just for a moment I caught her eye As the big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive Then Sally called back, and asked how I felt And she said, "I know how to help, to get over Alice" She said, "Now Alice is gone, but I'm still here You know, I've been waiting 24 years..." And the big limousine disappeared I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know 'Cos for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice 24 years just waitin' for a chance To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice |

Well I was out cruisin',
getting late and I was losin', When I saw you walking my way, So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want, But so do I and I ain't losing today. Well your hips were swinging and your jeans were clinging, You were driving me out of my mind, On a hot afternoon when there's nothing to do, Your not the sort of thing a fellow should find, So I pulled on over, you tossed your hair off your shoulder, As you turned and you looked my way, Oh you would have died or you'd have skinned me alive, If I'd have said what I wanted to say, So being polite said what you doin' tonight, You said: "Just so happens I'm free", You got all the right curves and all the right words, And that's alright by me. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. Well if you're ready for this when we started to kiss, She said: "Hold on a minute or two". Well naturally I knew it couldn't be me, I said: "Baby what's troublin' you", She said: "I'm not sixteen, if you know what I mean", So we sat and we talked for a while, And when we finally kissed you know she didn't resist, And I must say she did it with style. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. All right... Well I was out cruisin', getting late and I was losin', When I saw you walking my way, So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want, But so do I and I ain't losing today. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. Oh Carol, baby, you can do it some more. Oh Carol, baby, you can do it some more. |

Little Jenny came out of school,
Givin' boys the eye, But the smile she gave to me, Was for some other guy - other guy. Took her to a movie show, A dollar-fifty treat, Went out to the car and came right back, Some guy was in my seat - ain't she sweet. Chorus: I can't help feeling this way, Thinking it over it's crazy to stay, Well I know that it's got to be, The girl can't help it, she's in love with me. Jenny, Jenny, wonder why, Kiss the boys and see me cry, Don't you know there'll come a day, All the boys will walk away - walk away. Chorus When I'm close to you at night, I just can't tell wrong from right, Jenny, oh I love you so, I will never let you go - let you go. Chorus repeat |

What Can I Do
Every dream that I dream seems to float on by Like a cloud in the wind Way up in the sky Every move that I make seems to be the wrong way Like a cold black night After a summer day *What can I do What can I do Nothing to say but it used to be Nothing to say but it used to be what can I do Used to play my guitar With a smile on my face Now everything's changed My whole life's rearranged From the day I was born sidle Jinks was my name Though I tried and I tried That name still remains What can I do... What can I do, What can I do, What can I do What can I do I hear voices all singing but no one is there It's a ghost of my life Bringing past tense to mind Lokin' key inside me from the freedom and sin Oh come let me in I'll star all over again What can I do... * Repeat |

Don't talk to me of shattered dreams
Of course you don't know what it means to live for someone else, you can't just take And when you're bitten by the truth You blame it on your mis-spent youth You never seem to learn by your mistakes *So don't talk to me of wild wild angels Wild wild angels on the skyways those wild wild angels on the highways of your life 'Cos it's people like you, who never knew What wild wild angels have to face And I ain't hangin'round to see You turn on someone else like me I'm still alive and you know the way I live but baby that's one way you'll never be such simple things you fail to see you take back everything you ever give So don't talk to me of wild wild angels... So don't talk to me of wild wild angels... * Repeat |

Angelina's going out tonight
Like a dream clear out of sight When she returns, we'll be as one together Like a diamond in a world of stone She's like the wings, she rides all alone She'll catch the sun, and make it shine forever But I don't wanna see her crying And I don't wanna see her fate Cause you know I love that girl You know I love that girl Angelina with her eyes so blue I can't resist, she gets through to you The silent talking in a way that burns through your heart A cold, grey day never appears Your body's warmed, but innocent tears When Angelina gives you a friendly start But I don't wanna see her crying And I don't wanna see her fate Cause you know I love that girl You know I love that girl But I don't wanna see her crying And I don't wanna see her fate Cause you know I love that girl You know I love that girl Angelina's going out tonight Angelina's going out tonight Angelina's going out tonight Tonight... |

Walking in the rain, I can't believe the way I'm feeling. Lonely once again, could it be that I'm still dreaming.I thought I heard you talking.But deep inside I know, this heart of mine has left me walking
Down the Boulevard of broken dreams, Down the Boulevard of broken dreams, You left me broken hearted, before we got things started. Rain keeps falling and so it seems Down the Boulevard of broken dreams, Don't leave me broken hearted, I don't wanna be on that Boulevard of broken dreams. Burning in my heart, tells me now that it's all over. It's tearing me apart, feeling that I'm sinking over. I thought I heard you talking. But deep inside I know, this heart of mine has left me walking. Down the Boulevard of broken dreams, Down the Boulevard of broken dreams, Don't leave me broken hearted, I don't wanna be on that Boulevard of broken dreams. Walking in the rain, can't believe what I am seeing. Is it you again, oh tell me baby I'm not dreaming.'Cause I can hear you talking, no more will I be walking Down the Boulevard of broken dreams, Down the Boulevard of broken dreams, You left me broken hearted, before we got things started. Rain keeps falling and so it seems Down the Boulevard of broken dreams Don't leave me broken hearted, I don't wanna be on that Boulevard of broken dreams. |

Can you be so sure of love?
Can you stop my heart from breaking And save my tears from falling down? Can you be so sure, my love? You stop my heart from beating You can make my whole world turn around In the middle of a lonely dream I'm begging you to stay I'm on my knees But you turn and walk away You don't hear me calling out for you You're out of reach, there's just no getting through I know, you're so mixed up inside Don't go, baby stay with me tonight - tell me - Can you be so sure of love?.. I'm just a step behind If I could catch you I would make things right Tell me all this hasn't been in vain I wake at night, find I'm calling out your name Baby, what does all this mean? Wake me, from this crazy dream - darling - In a dream I catch a falling star Take a look inside to see your beating heart Just to watch it fade away Can you be so sure of love?.. |

Sally called when she got the word
She said, 'I suppose you've heard about Alice.' Well, I rushed to the window and I looked outside Well, I could hardly believe my eyes As a big limousine rolled up into Alice's drive I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know 'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice We grew up together Two kids in the park Carved our initials deep in the bark Me and Alice ... Now she walks through the door With her head held high Just for a moment I caught her eyes As a big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know 'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice Then Sally called back and asked how I felt She said, 'I know how to help get over Alice.' She said, 'Now Alice is gone but I'm still here. You know I've been waiting twenty-four years.' And the big limousine disappeared I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know 'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice |

Then she looked at me With her dark brown eyes And she whispered, "Hasta la Vista" Well I don't know what that means But it sounded it's so good so I kissed her. Mexican girl, don't leave me alone, I got a heart as big as a stone And I need you belive me To be here and love me tonight.

Needles And Pins
(Sonny Bono / Jack Nitzsche) I saw her today, I saw her face, It was a face I loved, and I knew, I had to run away, And get down on my knees and pray That they'd go away, And still they begin, Needles and pins, Because of all my pride, The tears I gotta hide. Oh, thought I was smart, I'd won a heart, Didn't think I do, But now you see, She's worse to him and me, Let her go ahead, And take this love instead, And one day she will see, Just how to say 'please', Get down on her knees, That's how they begin, You'll feel those needles and pins, Hurtin' her, hurtin' her, What can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong, What can't I stand up, and tell myself I'm strong. Because I saw her today ... I saw her face, It was a face I loved, and I knew, I had to run away, And get down on my knees and pray, That they'd go away, And still they begin, Needles and pins, Because of all my pride, The tears I gotta hide... Needles and pins, Needles and pins, Needles and pins, Needles and pins, Needles and pins, Needles and pins, Needles and pins, Needles and pins. |

Well I was out cruisin',
getting late and I was losin', When I saw you walking my way, So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want, But so do I and I ain't losing today. Well your hips were swinging and your jeans were clinging, You were driving me out of my mind, On a hot afternoon when there's nothing to do, Your not the sort of thing a fellow should find, So I pulled on over, you tossed your hair off your shoulder, As you turned and you looked my way, Oh you would have died or you'd have skinned me alive, If I'd have said what I wanted to say, So being polite said what you doin' tonight, You said: "Just so happens I'm free", You got all the right curves and all the right words, And that's alright by me. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. Well if you're ready for this when we started to kiss, She said: "Hold on a minute or two". Well naturally I knew it couldn't be me, I said: "Baby what's troublin' you", She said: "I'm not sixteen, if you know what I mean", So we sat and we talked for a while, And when we finally kissed you know she didn't resist, And I must say she did it with style. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. All right... Well I was out cruisin', getting late and I was losin', When I saw you walking my way, So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want, But so do I and I ain't losing today. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. Oh Carol, baby, you can do it some more. Oh Carol, baby, you can do it some more. |

Love has shaken me, sometimes mistaken me
This time it's making me hide Love has told on me then got a hold on me Followed my heart to my pride But something's been making me blue And somehow I can't talk it over with you Something's been making me sad Something I'm missing that I never had And I know what's making me blue Is losing you Love was a game you played, a mistake I made Never found it on time I thought love was alive again, then it died again Leavin' me wondering why But something's ben making me blue And somehow I can't talk it over with you Something's been making me sad Something I'm missing that I never had And I know what's making me blue Is losing you What is this feeling that keeps you revealing your pride Why don't you listen you can't reminisce on the times that she loved you and lied I know, but love was so real to me how does it feel to be Tellin' yourself it's a lie But now love's got me wondering got me fumbling, Got me stumbling by But something's ben making me blue And somehow I can't talk it over with you Something's been making me sad Something I'm missing that I never had And I know what's making me blue Is losing you |

Every dream that I dream
Seems to float on by Like a cloud in the wind Way up in the sky Every move that I make Seems to be the wrong way Like a cold black night After a summer day What can I do What can I do Nothing to say but it used to be Nothing to say but it used to be What can I do You still play my guitar With a smile on my face Now everything's changed My whole life's rearranged From the day I was born Sidle Jinks was my name Though I tried and I tried That name still remains What can I do What can I do Nothing to say but it used to be Nothing to say but it used to be What can I do What can I do What can I do What can I do What can I do I hear voices all singing But no one is there It's a ghost of my life Bringing past tense to mind Lokin' key inside me From the freedom and sin Oh come let me in I'll start all over again What can I do What can I do Nothing to say but it used to be No no no no no no no no no What can I do What can I do |

It's close to midnight
There's a chill in the air I long to touch you but I don't dare there's a wall between us there's a storm in the air though yu're lying beside me It's like you're not even there When the lightning strikes I don't want to be here when the cold wind bites I don't want to be here Ooh it hurts me though we won't be talking I hear every word you say Now the rain is falling Like a million tears Coming through my window To wash away the years When the lightning strikes... Oh can you feel it there's astorm in the air and it's getting nearer when the cloud breaks I don't want to be here to feel the rain feel the pain There's a wall between us There's a storm in the air though you're lying beside me It's like you're not even there When the lightning strikes Oh can you feel it there's a storm in the air And it's getting nearer when the cloud breaks I don't want to be here to feel the rain When the lightning strikes... When the lightning strikes... |

You give your love so sweetly Tonight the light of love is in your eyes But will you still love me tomorrow Is this a lasting treasure Or just a moment's pleasure Can I believe the magic of your sighs Will you still love me tomorrow Tonight with words unspoken You say that I'm the only one But will my heart be broken When the night meets the morning sun I'd like to know that your love Is the love that I can be sure of So tell me now and I won't ask again Will you still love me tomorrow So tell me now and I won't ask again Will you still love me tomorrow Will you still love me tomorrow Will you still love me tomorrow |

Waiting in a lonely home
A fire burning low A thousand miles between us God knows, I had to go But distance can be overcome In the beating of a heart Just put your arms around yourself Believe I'm not that far Remember that I told you That I'd prove my love is true And if you wait a little longer I'll be coming home to you Tonight, when all the lights go down Tonight, we'll dream about the love we've found Tonight, when all the lights are low We'll l?hide away in yesterday And I won't have to go A year can seem alifetime To leave someone like you So many sleepless nights I've spent Reaching out for yu The price of dedication is everything i own But there is someone that I can't gibe up Without you, why go on? Tonight, when all the lights go down... Tonight, when all the lights go down... |

Lately they seen you running Tell me baby are we the talk of the town You told me yu spent the nights workin Stead you been out drinkin and flirtin Two can play that game and I know how I can be a heartbreaker, too I can break as many hearts as you I can turn them on or turn them down Cos there ain't a trick that I can't use I learned the best of them from you Your heart just might break Before it's through I can be a heartbreaker, too Some night when you're out romancin You just might see me dancin With the best lookin lady in the room You'll be the one who ends up stranded The one who's empty handed It'll be your turn to play the fool I can be a heartbreaker, too... You can lose me You can't have it both ways If you go I hope you know What you're throwing away I can be a heartbreaker, too... |
