Ron Sexsmith

We've all been hurt by love, it's out of our hands.
For all it's worth I'm drawing a line that's in the sand.
Another morning just won't do.
I need your love to shine on through
Or it won't be new.

Whatever it takes, my love, I'll find it,
Whatever it takes, my love.
To put the lonely days behind us, I'm laying it down,
Whatever it takes my love.

If there's a chance for two hearts to celebrate,
To blow out some candles and tempt the hands of fate,
You make a wish, I'll make one, too. (I'll make a wish)
But close your eyes, love, when you do
Or it won't be true.

Whatever it takes, my love, I'll find it.
Whatever it takes, my love,
To put the lonely days behind us, I'm laying it down,
Whatever it takes, my love.

Because I've been wandering around with the same old blues
That have been dragging me down if you feel the same way, too.
Maybe it just takes two.

And, if we give thanks for our love at each new dawn,
We'll find the strength and the will to carry on.
The sun alone will never do (Ooohhh)
Without your love to shine on through.
It just won't be new.

Whatever it takes,
Oh, whatever it takes, my love,
To put the lonely days behind us, I'm laying it down,
Whatever it takes, my love,
Ohhh, whatever it takes, my love,
Ohhh, to put the lonely days behind us, laying it down.

Whatever it takes, my love, my love, my love.
Whatever it takes,
Whatever it takes, my love,
To put the lonely days behind us, I'm laying it down,
Whatever it takes, my love. (Whatever it takes, my love.)

As I try to be the man for her
Far across the sea and land for her
The deep within my blood is sand
Until I drink what makes me mad for her, oh

She's my Brandy Alexander
Always gets me into trouble
But that's another matter
My Brandy Alexander

But do I thirst for all the worst again?
Is it my addiction to this curse within?
Silently I must confess this sin
Tastes better after juice and gin, oh

She's my Brandy Alexander
Always gets me into trouble
But that's another matter
Oh, that's another matter

She's my Brandy Alexander
Always gets me into trouble
But that's another matter, oh

And deep within my blood is sand
Until I drink what makes me mad for her, oh yeah

She's my Brandy Alexander
Always gets me into trouble
But that's another matter
Oh, that's another matter

She's my Brandy Alexander
Always gets me into trouble
But that's another matter
Oh, that's another matter

She's my Brandy Alexander, oh yeah
That's another matter

It goes down easy, it goes down easy
It goes down easy, it goes down easy
It goes down easy, it goes down easy

Well the sun came shining
Through my cell
A book lies open upon my shelf
But I'm afraid I've lost the thread
Can't seem to raise myself from bed today

This whirlwind prisoner
I've locked away
Is blowing crazy around his cage
If I surrender to his cries
Would you pretend you don't recognize me?

From way back when
I'm the same boy that you knew then
I just want to be chased by love
Embraced by love
Just like you
Just like you



I feel these chains of freedom
Chains of trust
Chains of mystery surrounding us
But I know you and you know me
You're not mistaken
I'm the one you think you see

From way back when
I'm the same boy that you knew then
I just want to be chased by love
Embraced by love
Just like you
Just like you

With the graceful and grotesque the morning rings
Hear the garbage truck roll by
Hear the birds begin to sing
Their song of love and praise
And may their happy sound
Be strong enough to raise
Our spirits off the ground
Or love don't stand a ghost of a chance
I'm on the trail of a storm and everywhere I look
Appear the ones that life has torn
Like pages from a book
Left to soldier on
No shoulder for to lean I'd be lost without a song
But if your love wasn't there for me
I just wouldn't stand a ghost of a chance
From where I sit
There's too many eyes crying tears
Too many lives living in fear
Wondering where their sweet dreams have all gone
Too many hands stirring the pot In a land of haves and have-nots All wondering why it's all gone wrong
Now as the ballet and burlesque commence to play
Give to me the strength to act
And not look the other way
For there's a war outside
Can't take it lying down
Got to look it in the eye
We've got to stand our ground
Or love don't stand a ghost of a chance
Love don't stand a ghost of a chance

It all seems so obvious now
When I look back over my life
There were times that I really felt down
To think it passed me by

But in these hours of serious doubt
Through the coal black lonely night
Something told me, It'll work out
Something deep inside
Was comforting me

All in good time
All in good time
It said "All in good time"
The bad times will be gone

Hold your horses, a willow tree cried
While the sun called to me, Where's the fire?
Run your course my feverish child,
Came a voice from even higher
Inspiring me

All in good time
All in good time
It said All in good time

We rise and fall
We try and fail
And people may judge us
But angels know us darling
All in good time

It all seems so obvious now
When I look back over my life
There's a need for sorrow and doubt
For darkness and for light
It's how it must be

All in good time
All in good time
It said All in good time?
All in good time
The bad time will be gone

The sun has gone
It arose but never shone
And now the day is done
Before it'd ever begun

It was such a pleasant dream
Till someone pulled the plug
T'was a rude awakening
Guess, it's time we all woke up
And admit that something's very wrong

The sun has gone
It arose but never shone
And now the day is done
Before it'd ever begun

Now I guess we'll never know
Of the load you had to bear
When you walked that lonesome road
Did it lead you to despair?

I just hope you've found some comfort there

The sun has gone
It arose but never shone
And now the day is done
Before it'd ever begun

I just hope you've found some comfort there

The sun has gone
It arose but never shone
And now the day is done
Before it'd ever begun

The sun has gone
It arose but never shone
And now the day is done
Before it'd ever begun

Like a fool I'm reaching out, Lord
To the hands of time
For if he knew how you were drowning
He'd never toss you a line

If all we have is here and now
Honey, I won't change a thing
If all I know is how I feel
When you move your snow white hand in mine
I'll never hold the hands of time

From the moment we are born
We're in the hands of time
As drunk on life as death is sober
When we say goodbye

Though it hurts to lose a friend
May it help remembering
For every door that closes in
One'll open to the other side
Opened by the hands of time

Heaven knows
There are days when it flies on by
Heaven knows
There are days when it drags
Though it may seem to be on your side
Turn around, it?s left you high and dry

And that is why
It's a fool who reaches out
To the hands of time

If all we have is here and now
Honey, I won?t change a thing
If all I know is how I feel
When you move your snow white hand in mine
I'll never hold the hands of time

Feel it hands upon the strings
As the music starts to ring
In my soul, in my dreams
For to help these melodies and rhymes
Become this song 'Hands Of Time'
Hands of time

Hate to be the bearer of bad news
But lately even the sun seems confused then now
Think we're lost, think we're lost

Then sun don't shine the way it used to
And the rain falls harder then it's supposed to
All the world looks cold and gray, think we're lost

Dark shadows keep swarming 'round us nowadays
On the road home I feel surrounded in harm's way, my love
Think we're lost, think we're lost

And the night seems darker than it used to
I fear we've gone much farther than we're supposed to
Hate to be the world just say
Think we're lost, think we're lost

Think we're lost, think we're lost
Then sun don't shine the way it used to
And the rain falls harder then it's supposed to
All the world just turns away

And I keep worrying about it, baby
I keep waiting for your love to save me
Tell me that we'll find our way
Think we're lost, think we're lost

Now it only seems to make me sad
When I think of what we had and what we've lost

Leadbelly's in the background
Being drowned out by the grind
He's singing about "Rock Island Line"
Nobody seems to pay him any mind

Bestsellers and bookshelves
Full of self-help printed word
Some faint elegance is heard
Now was that Ellington or Bird?

And has it really come to this?
Can ignorance be bliss?
I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop
Jazz at the bookstore
And blues in the coffee shop
Jazz at the bookstore
And blues in the coffee shop

There's a man standing at the crossroads
With a dark roast in his hand
Livin' in white yuppy hand
Over by the milk and sugar stand

And have I really come to this
Cup of caffeinated bliss?

So we browse around
All over town
Sipping coffees that we can't pronounce
And meanwhile in the blues cemetery
All the coffins commence to bounce

Leadbelly's in the cold ground
Rolling over in his grave
The hard road where so many slaved
Is now so smooth and Paved

And Has it really come to this?
Can Ignorance be bliss?
I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop
Jazz at the bookstore
And blues in the coffee shop
Jazz at the bookstore
And blues in the coffee shop

Of foolish dreams
I'm done with these
Of childish things
I've set them free

Filed them away in the past
Gave up on all that don't last
Save for just one thing
There's something that I'd never do

I'd never give up on you
Though they try to break us in two
Never give up on you
Whatever I do

Come early spring
I bailed on that
From apron strings
I freed my hands

And woke from the spell that cast
I kicked that habit at last
Oh, but I would stick by you
Wherever you lead me to

Never give up on you
The world may try to break us I two
I'd never give up on you, darlin'
Whatever they do

I'd never give up on you
Because I know you'd do the same for me
Never give up on you
Because you take me as I am
How I'll always be

When times are bad
When things go wrong
What makes you sad
Will make me strong

I'm keeping an eye on your tears
Sweeping up all this broken mirror
Our luck may not come through
But that's something that I'd never do

I'd never give up on you
Though they try to break us in two
Never give up on you, darlin'
Whatever I do
Never give up on you

Caught in the middle
Of a daydream of you
We're lost in this riddle
Where they keep the answers up above

There's a reason for our love
There's a reason for our love

Thought life held nothing
Now I'm holding your hand
My heart, always wondering
When all at once, it understands

There's a reason for our love
There's a reason for our love

Everybody seems so surprised
Though it has been right before our eyes
All the time

And while we were talking
Time has flown, so it seems
That you were sleepwalking
Through that very same dream and back to us

There's a reason for our love
There's a reason for our love
Though the answer lies above
There's a reason for our love

Famous disappearing act
Kills 'em every time
The willing subject sneaks out back
And leaves her space behind

Life is not a parlor trick
There's no slight of hand
Just tryin' to save the sinking ship
And there's no sight of land

We are all in the same boat, darlin'
On the same rough sea
We are all in the same boat, darlin'
The ship of fools it seems

there's no good news in the news
Only bad news papers
As black humor stands amused
At the plight of human nature

Still a lot of good in the world
No matter what they say
And when the darkness comes unfurled
There's a light that was built to stay

We are all in the same boat, darlin'
On the same rough sea
We are all in the same boat, darlin'
The ship of fools it seems

Optimists and realists
And cynics all agree
That we are all in this
Together whatever will be

Oh, we are all in the same boat, darlin'
On the same rough sea
We are all in the same boat, darlin'
The ship of fools it seems

We are all in the same boat, darlin'
On the same rough sea
We are all in the same boat, darlin'
The ship of fools it seems
The ship of fools it seems

Strange how their love bloomed in the winter
Only to vanish in the spring
It never fails to make him shiver
To see the outline of her wings

Where she made her last snow angel
Little did they know
That it'd make a lasting impression
Deeper than the snow
In his soul, snow angel never faded

And when love calls to make that promise
One to be faithful and be true
It's then temptation falls upon us
The world turns awkward and aloof

And with this betrayal
An angel descended from on high
Oh, but this was not a manger
And as he came inside to his fright
T'was no angel hanging naked

Strange how each year 'round late November
When the first snow is on the ground
She reappears so he'll remember
How a love so young can be cut down'

When she made her last snow angel
Little did they know
That it'd make a lasting impression
Deeper than the snow
In his soul, snow angel never faded

In his soul snow angel never faded

The world is a very small place
And before we know
We're back in our own space

Some dusty things to remind us
All of our time on earth
How sweet and precious it was
And how we will never be the same

For love is a very small word
It?s easy to say but seldom is heard
Above the war that lives on
And on in the hearts of men
How sweet and precious it was
But now can it ever be that way again?

Have no fear
If we?re nearing the end
We?ll just drink to old friends

The world is a very hard place
When lost in a crowd
We search for a kind face
Some trusting soul to confide
In arms we can hide into
Some sweet sad face from a passing train
We may never see again

Some dusty things to remind us
All of our time on earth
How sweet and precious it was
And how we will never be the same

When the moon is only a shadow
When the world is wiping her eyes
The grim trucker darkens the meadow
To the market he never drives

All the pigs go down the hill
Past the police station, across the tracks
They turn right at the next light
And they never come back

See the sleepy-eyed little children
As we bus 'em off to school
To a greasy grimy ol' building
With a rusty golden rule

All the pigs go down the hill
Past the police station, across the tracks
They turn right at the next light
And they never come back
Never come back

Fill our face with eggs and bacon
While this question weighs on our minds
Will we wake to wings up in heaven
Or to hooves and snout in our next life?

Some say if we get it right in this life
Than we never come back
We never come back
We never come back
Never come back

We never come back
Never come back
Never come back
Never come back

It all seems so obvious now
When I look back over my life
There were times that I really felt down
To think it passed me by

But in these hours of serious doubt
Through the coal black lonely night
Something told me, It'll work out
Something deep inside
Was comforting me

All in good time
All in good time
It said "All in good time"
The bad times will be gone

Hold your horses, a willow tree cried
While the sun called to me, Where's the fire?
Run your course my feverish child,
Came a voice from even higher
Inspiring me

All in good time
All in good time
It said All in good time

We rise and fall
We try and fail
And people may judge us
But angels know us darling
All in good time

It all seems so obvious now
When I look back over my life
There's a need for sorrow and doubt
For darkness and for light
It's how it must be

All in good time
All in good time
It said All in good time?
All in good time
The bad time will be gone

나 어쩌죠 너무나 너무나 그대 좋아요
내 이 맘 그냥 전해주고 싶은데 루루루루루~
한 마디 말도 할수없죠 랄랄랄~랄랄랄~

나 어쩌죠 꿈속에 그대를 불러 달라고
매일밤 간절한 기도 하지만 루루루루루~
그대는 내게 오질 않네요

나 어쩌죠 너무나 그대를 사랑하는데
사랑한단 말하는것 만으로 루루루루루~
왜 자꾸 눈물나는거죠

함께한 그 많은 날이
조금씩 잊혀질 추억이 되어도
그댈 사랑해 그댈 사랑해 루루루루루~
나 어떻게 해요 왜 자꾸 눈물 나는거죠

왜 눈물만 흐르는거죠

love love 사랑 외쳐요 사랑 불러요
love love 사랑 외쳐요 사랑 불러요

love love 사랑 외쳐요 사랑 불러요
love love 사랑 외쳐요 사랑 불러요
사랑 불러요



Whenever I try to tell you everything I feel inside,
the words get in the way and all my heart is dried
I wish that I could sing it to you now,
My love song,
like the one I hear before the morning comes,
in my dreams it always sounds so clear and strong
I wish that you could hear it too, somehow
Whenever I try to show all the love I feel inside,
it never seems enough and tears just fill my eyes
I wish that I could say it better now

no matter how time fades away

My love for you
could it be deja vu
Cause I've never felt like
this before
When I see you smile
I can hear my inner child
whisper to me look no more
I hold my head up high
and I look in to your eyes
Oh I don't wanna hide
this feeling inside
I'll never let you down
I'll always be around
See I always knew that I was
meant to be with you
This is it
You're the one
I knew it
All along
Can't believe it
I can feel it in my soul
This is it
You and me
We were just
meant to be
You're the one that I've been
waiting for

My love for you
is something new something new
But you don't believe a word I say
But I know it's true
every time I look at you
and everytime you look at me that way
What proof can I miss
You feel it when we kiss
So baby don't deny
this feeling inside
It's more than just a crush
It's more than just a rush
Like it never have before
this night more I love
This is it
You're the one
I knew it
All along
Can't believe it
I can feel it in my soul
This is it
You and me
We were just
meant to be
You're the one that I've been
waiting for
I think the first time that you
held my hand you knew it
I think the first time that you
kissed me you felt the
way that I did
Admit it
This is it
You're the one
I knew it
All along
Can't believe it
I can feel it in my soul
This is it
You and me
We were just
meant to be
You're the one that I've been
waiting for
Yes you're it
You're the one
You know it's
just begun
I know you feel it like
I feel it in my soul
This is it
You and me
We were just
meant to be
You're the one that I've been
waiting for
Yes you're it
You know it's just begun
You're the one telling me
look no more
This is it
Look no more
I've been waiting for you and me
meant to be
be as one

I know it doesn't seem that way
But maybe it's the perfect day
Even though the bills are piling
Maybe Lady Luck ain't smiling

But if we only open our eyes
We'd see the blessings in disguise
That all the rain clouds are fountains
Though our troubles seem like mountains

There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose heart
Give the day a chance to start

Every now and then life says:
Where do you think you're going so fast?
We're apt to think it's cruel, but sometimes
It's a case of cruel to be kind

And if we get up off our knees
Why then we'd see the forest for the trees
and we'd see the new sun rising
Over the hills and horizon

There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose faith
Give the world a chance to say:

A word or two, my friend
There's no telling how the day might end
We'll never know until we see

That there's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose heart
Give the day a chance to start

There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills

I can't understand this sadness here
Sorrow's rolling in, from where's unclear
But I know there's a reason for all these blues
So I'm off to find the words we never use

Yes I know you've been hurt by words I've said
But more by the times I turned my head
For the willow of your smile is showing through
You're aching for the words we never use

How long must we bury all we feel?
Yes, and turn in the face of what is real
Well now, love has made an offer we can't refuse
So let's try for the words we never use
The words we never use

I know it doesn't seem that way
But maybe it's the perfect day
Even though the bills are piling
Maybe Lady Luck ain't smiling

But if we only open our eyes
We'd see the blessings in disguise
That all the rain clouds are fountains
Though our troubles seem like mountains

There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose heart
Give the day a chance to start

Every now and then life says:
Where do you think you're going so fast?
We're apt to think it's cruel, but sometimes
It's a case of cruel to be kind

And if we get up off our knees
Why then we'd see the forest for the trees
and we'd see the new sun rising
Over the hills and horizon

There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose faith
Give the world a chance to say:

A word or two, my friend
There's no telling how the day might end
We'll never know until we see

That there's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose heart
Give the day a chance to start

There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills

I know it doesn't seem that way
But maybe it's the perfect day
Even though the bills are piling
Maybe Lady Luck ain't smiling

But if we only open our eyes
We'd see the blessings in disguise
That all the rain clouds are fountains
Though our troubles seem like mountains

There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose heart
Give the day a chance to start

Every now and then life says:
Where do you think you're going so fast?
We're apt to think it's cruel, but sometimes
It's a case of cruel to be kind

And if we get up off our knees

and we'd see the new sun rising
Over the hills and horizon

There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose faith
Give the world a chance to say:

A word or two, my friend
There's no telling how the day might end
We'll never know until we see

That there's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose heart
Give the day a chance to start

There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills

Look up my darling
Way up high
At the clouds above you

My heart's a window, darling
If you look inside
You'll see how I think of you

We all get angry sometimes
But it disappears
Don't have the patience sometimes
I create tears

But there's nothing in this wash
That won't come clear in the end
'Cause we're best friends

Some say you've got to lose to win
Any moment now our luck will stumble in
And claim us at the lost and found and help us all
Get our feet back on the ground

Disappearing act, I want my money back
Disappearing act, I wish life had warned us long ago
We're only one half of a disappearing act

Who pulled the rug out under us?
Maybe all the time in the world ain't quite enough
One day you're saying, "Look ma, no hands"
Then it's, "Help me ma, I just don't understand"

Disappearing act, I want my childhood back
Disappearing act, I wish life had warned us long ago
We're on the wrong half of a disappearing act
Of a disappearing act

Oh and when you hear the saints go marching in
As you're walking down your street again
No magic wand can make it stop
And as your house of cards comes crashing down
So loud it makes you turn around
Look longer, think harder now

Some say you've got to lose to win
Any moment now, our luck will stumble in
And claim us at the lost and found
And help us all get our feet back on the ground

Disappearing act, I want my money back
Disappearing act, I wish life had warned us long ago
We're on the wrong half of a disappearing act
Of a disappearing act, of a disappearing act
Oh, of a disappearing act

Used to work as a messenger
Spent my days riding elevators
In the heart of the business world
Till one day there came a sign

In the form of a
Dragonfly on Bay Street

Buzzing round from tower to tower
At the twilight of the working hour
Had he taken a wrong turn?
Was he lost without a trace?

Just like us
Dragonfly on Bay Street

In the crowd without a face
Dragonfly on Bay Street

No fields for miles around
As through the underground I go
What was it telling me?
It's better to be free or maybe nothing at all

Now I work in another field
Spend my time keeping my eyes peeled
For a sign that'll lead me home
'Cause Lord, I feel so out of place

Just like that
Dragonfly on Bay Street

I'm lost without a trace
Dragonfly on Bay Street
In the crowd without a face
Dragonfly on Bay Street
It's all or nothing at all

I'm lost without a trace
Dragonfly on Bay Street
In the crowd without a face
Dragonfly on Bay Street

I'm lost without a trace
Dragonfly on Bay Street
In the crowd without a face
Dragonfly on Bay Street

For a moment there
I could've swore I knew where I was going
For a moment there
I was in my room following the music
Never knowing if it was going anywhere

I could hear it in the sky above
In the streets below me
I could hear it in the songs of love
Just enough to show me
There was a light somewhere, somewhere

For a moment there
The sun was in my eyes and I was blinded
For a moment there
But now I look again and when it seems
Like all is lost I find it or it finds me anyway

I can see it in the sun above
In the grass below me
I see it in the ones I love
Just enough to show me
There is a light somewhere

For a moment there
I could see it in the ones I love
Just enough to show me
There is a light somewhere

Your eyes are burning low
As you look out on this morning
But your eyes will return
To their former glory

Though the cold North wind may blow
It's all sound and fury
And the summer will return
In it's former glory

Everything will be just like you remember
Today won't look as bad as it seemed
And though love's become a dying ember
It will burn brighter than you ever dreamed

For the day is coming soon
You don't have to worry
Your light will return
In it's former glory

Everything will be just like you remember
Today won't look as bad as it seemed
Though love's become a dying ember
It will burn brighter than you ever dreamed

For the day is coming soon
You don't have to worry
Your lights will return
In it's former glory

Your lights will return
The summer will return
Your hearts will rise again
In it's former glory

God loves everyone
Like a mother loves her son
No strings at all
Unconditional

Never one to judge
Would never hold a grudge
'Bout what's been done
God loves everyone

There are no gates in Heaven
Everyone gets in
Queer or straight
Souls of every faith

Hell is in our minds
Hell is in this life
But when it's gone
God takes everyone

Its love is like a womb
It's like the air from room to room
It surrounds us all
The living and the dead
May we never lose the thread
That bound us all

Oh, the killer in his cell
The atheist as well
The pure of heart
And the wild at heart

Are all worthy of its grace
It's written in the face
Of everyone
God loves everyone

There's no need to be saved
No need to be afraid
'Cause when it's done
God takes everyone

God loves everyone

I know it doesn't seem that way
But maybe it's the perfect day
Even though the bills are piling
Maybe Lady Luck ain't smiling

But if we only open our eyes
We'd see the blessings in disguise
That all the rain clouds are fountains
Though our troubles seem like mountains

There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose heart
Give the day a chance to start

Every now and then life says:
Where do you think you're going so fast?
We're apt to think it's cruel, but sometimes
It's a case of cruel to be kind

And if we get up off our knees
Why then we'd see the forest for the trees
and we'd see the new sun rising
Over the hills and horizon

There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose faith
Give the world a chance to say:

A word or two, my friend
There's no telling how the day might end
We'll never know until we see

That there's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose heart
Give the day a chance to start

There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills

I know it doesn't seem that way
But maybe it's the perfect day
Even though the bills are piling
Maybe Lady Luck ain't smiling

But if we only open our eyes
We'd see the blessings in disguise
That all the rain clouds are fountains
Though our troubles seem like mountains

There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose heart
Give the day a chance to start

Every now and then life says:
Where do you think you're going so fast?
We're apt to think it's cruel, but sometimes
It's a case of cruel to be kind

And if we get up off our knees
Why then we'd see the forest for the trees
and we'd see the new sun rising
Over the hills and horizon

There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose faith
Give the world a chance to say:

A word or two, my friend
There's no telling how the day might end
We'll never know until we see

That there's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose heart
Give the day a chance to start

There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills

Though you don't believe your eyes
As your mind's taken by surprise
But there's a reason to the rhyming of
Your heart's desire

Though it seems too good to last
Don't write it off too fast
For there's a method to the madness of
Your heart's desire
Yes

I guess it's out of our hands
Though we try to understand
It's not for us to know
Where the night is going
Though you may say that it's not what you're looking for
How can you be so sure?

How can you be so sure
In your heart that this isn't it?
In your plans it just won't fit
So you keep on second guessing it
Your heart's desire

Cause you don't believe your eyes
As your mind's taken by surprise
But there's a reason to the rhyming of
Your heart's desire
Your heart's desire

Skies are gray
For miles around
Though the sun tries
Hard to break through the clouds

And while the sun is trying
The least that I can do
Is to keep on rising and shining
My light on you

Another season's turning
And the least that I can do
Is to keep on learning and returning
Till everything's brand new

With all the love you've given me
All the love so perfect and true
To call your arms eternity
Is the least that I can do

With all the love you've given me

While the bells are ringing
The least that I can do
Is to keep on singing and believing
This song will see me through

And while the birds are flying
The least that I can do
Is to keep from crying, keep on trying
To raise my heart to you

With all the love, you've given me
All the love so perfect and true
To call your arms eternity
Is the least that I can do

With all the love, you've given me
All the love so perfect and true
To call your heart infinity
Is the least that I can do

With all the love you've given me
It's the least that I can do

Promises are made to be broken
Haven't you heard?
He said he'd never break your heart

Now haven't you learned?
You believed in the words
In all that they meant

Oh, but love is not some popular song
Filled with empty sentiment
That's what passes for love
That's what passes for love these days

It won't take a miracle, darlin'
Just keep it real
This world can make us cynical, darlin'

I know how it feels
You took it to heart
What they said on the screen

Oh, but love is not just playing a part
In some very scripted scene
That's what passes for love
That's what passes for love these days

No one can complete you or make you whole
But love will come to greet you half way
Though the streets are never paved with gold

Promises are made to be broken
Haven't you heard?
He said he'd never break your heart

Now haven't you learned?
You believed in the words
In all that they meant

Oh, but love is not some popular song
Filled with empty sentiment
That's what passes for love
That's what passes for love
That's what passes for love these days

I'm looking out across the way
To her old abode
It'd sure be good to see her again
Coming up the road

When out to paint the weather grey
Lo and behold
Her eyes told of better days
Coming up the road

Oh and maybe
Love knows where to find me
And I'll wake up
And find her beside me
To guide me

For the world can not defeat us when
You've got a hand to hold
And how the stars will greet us then
Coming up the road

Oh baby, there'll be happier times
If we believe
Everything's gonna be alright
With all our might

I'm looking out across the way
To her old abode
It'd sure be good to see her again
Coming up the road

And how the stars will greet us then
Coming up the road

If I had all this time on my hands
Well I would love to share it with you
And though our days have made other plans
But there is nothing I'd rather do
Than sit and talk with you
My beautiful view

The squinting of her eyes when she smiles
The glinting of sun in her hair
She wets her lips and takes a sip of
Her tea as I try not to stare
And though I try not to
It's such beautiful view

Oh my heart
What's all the commotion about?
For so long
I guess you've been going without

With all these numbers staring me down
And all this stormy weather so gray
So many grim reminders
Of how much I have lost along the way
But you remind me, it's true
Of a beautiful view

Well there is nothing I'd rather do
Than sit and talk with you
My beautiful view

All I wanna do
Is take a walk, girl, with you
My beautiful view
