Songs in the key of life...page 58

He was born in the summer of his 27th year

Comin' home to a place he'd never been before

He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again

You might say he found a key for every door

When he first came to the mountains his life was far away

On the road and hangin' by a song

But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care

It keeps changin' fast and it don't last for long

But the Colorado rocky mountain high

I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky

The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye

Rocky mountain high

He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below

He saw everything as far as you can see

And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun

And he lost a friend but kept his memory

Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams

Seeking grace in every step he takes

His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand

The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake

And the Colorado rocky mountain high

I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky

You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply

Rocky mountain high

Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear

Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend

Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more

More people, more scars upon the land

And the Colorado rocky mountain high

I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky

I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly

Rocky mountain high

It's Colorado rocky mountain high

I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky

Friends around the campfire and everybody's high

Rocky mountain high

    Strangers in the night exchanging glances
    Wondring in the night
    What were the chances wed be sharing love
    Before the night was through.

    Something in your eyes was so inviting,
    Something in you smile was so exciting,
    Something in my heart,
    Told me I must have you.

    Strangers in the night, two lonely people
    We were strangers in the night
    Up to the moment
    When we said our first hello.
    Little did we know
    Love was just a glance away,
    A warm embracing dance away and -

    Ever since that night weve been together.
    Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
    It turned out so right,
    For strangers in the night.

    I'm just a lonely boy, lonely and blue
    I'm all alone with nothin' to do
    I've got everything you could think of
    But all I want is someone to love
    Someone, yes, someone to love, someone to kiss
    Someone to hold at a moment like this
    I'd like to hear somebody say
    "I'll give you my love each night and day"
    Somebody, somebody, somebody, please send her to me
    I'll make her happy, just wait and see
    I prayed so hard to the heavens above
    That I might find someone to love

    Hi everyone, HOORAY!!!!! The STEELERS brought home one for the thumb! Thanks Semper! You are so wonderful to do this for all us ponders. It was great fun! And thank you for the win. I asked Semper to donate my winnings to The National Aviary right here in Pittsburgh, PA. It is a wonderful place that is close to my heart. Here is a pic of the Bald Eagles that reside there. Notice the one flapping only has one wing. Poor thing had been shot by some @#$&*!*....... And this is a picture of me the last time I was there..... Thanks for helping take care of the birds Semper. Hi Comet! Thanks! Well, it's been a great season. I'm already looking forward to training camp. And the next pool...........: ) ~Dawn (mamabirrd)

    Jesus loves me! this I know, For the Bible tells me so. Little ones to Him belong; they are weak but He is strong. Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so. Jesus loves me! loves me still, 'tho I'm very weak and ill, that I might from sin be free, bled and died upon the tree. Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so. Jesus loves me! He who died heaven's gate to open wide; He will wash away my sin, let His little child come in. Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so. Jesus loves me! He will stay close beside me all the way. Thou hast bled and died for me, I will henceforth live for Thee. Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so. Jesus loves me when I'm good. When I do the things I should. Jesus loves me when I'm bad, but it makes him oh so sad. Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.

    Tuesday, that's too bad, you may have a fake but perfumes do not get old. Vintage perfumes are preferred by many as the manufacturers change the formulas over the years - to less desirable smells and having little to do with the original scent. Often to save money using synthetics often because certain key ingredients are now banned. They ride on the name recognition alone. Is it possible that what you have is a cologne or edt and you have purchased parfum before? Huge differences and often I do not like the edt of a fragrance at all. Here is a good article about identifying fakes: 1. Look at the outer packaging. If your bottle came shrink wrapped pay attention to the quality of the wrapping. It should fit cleanly and snugly around the box and be made of clear, unwrinkled high-quality cellophane. If the box of perfume did not come shrink wrapped, don't worry, some sellers remove the shrink wrap prior to selling. The next things you can look for are on the boxes themselves. Look up the fragrance online and compare the box you have with the pictures of the ones online to see if yours looks similar. If there's a design element out of place, the font used is different or the box you have looks like it's a much lower quality then be suspicious. Real boxes should have nice sharp corners, and be made of high quality paper. If the box is flimsy or fits the bottle poorly then be suspicious. Next, check the spelling and grammar on the box. If anything is misspelled, that is a tell-tale sign that you have a fake. 2. Look at the bottle. Real perfume bottles are detailed and made of high-quality glass with specific design elements to make them unique and easy to identify. If your fragrance bottle has visible faults in the glass, isn’t made of the materials it should be, has a defective sprayer, or lacks the usual markings in the right places (brand name, fragrance name, logos, serial numbers, lot numbers) then be very suspicious. If it looks shoddy, then it's probably fake. Similar to the boxes, also check the grammar and spelling. Look up images of real bottles online and pay attention to the fine details. For example, some fake bottles of Chanel Coco Mademoiselle lack some of the key, minor, details that the real bottles exhibit. 3. The fragrance. Real perfume liquid should be crystal clear. There should be nothing swimming in there like sediment. If you’ve got cloudy perfume, or perfume that has mysterious little bits and pieces in it then be very suspicious and whatever you do, do not spray it on yourself. You do not know what chemicals went into composing it, you also may not know if it is fake or just simply expired. Real fragrances are complex and have three layers, top notes, middle notes, and base notes. Most counterfeits won’t smell like the real thing. They may smell similar but have a flat, one-dimensional quality to them. Or they might smell completely different from what you remember. If you suspect you have a fake, head to a department store and try to spray some of the real stuff onto a scent blotter (the paper strips some stores provide people to test fragrances on), then go home and spray your suspected fake on another blotter and compare the two. Again, do not spray it on yourself if you think you have a fake. 4. Look for the lot (control) number. This one is less reliable than the three above because some counterfeiters have gotten very good at duping the bottles and packaging. All higher end perfumes have lot numbers on them. Depending on the company, the location of these numbers may vary and change over time as fragrance houses try to outsmart the counterfeiters. What you should look for is a three to four digit number, usually located on the bottom of the bottle of perfume either etched into the glass, inked onto the glass, or on the sticker itself. Sometimes you can find these lightly etched in to the glass on the side of the bottle, and sometimes lightly etched on the sprayer nozzle. There's a number of other places you can find these too so keep an eye out. When you find this number, compare it to the number that is usually embossed, printed, or lightly etched on the box the bottle came in (usually you can find this in the same place the barcode is located on the box). These two numbers should match. If they do not match, someone may be selling you a fake. If you can't even find the lot number, be very suspicious but don't jump to conclusions based on this alone as you may just be overlooking them. Source(s): http://that-smell.com/2010/05/04/the-dan…

    1. Did you make any New Years Resolutions? If so, have you managed to keep it/them so far? I actually didn't make one, but I feel unorganized lately. I want to make the best use of all my time so back to making lists for me. 2. What are you wearing? blazer, stripe shirt, floral scarf, jeans, and ...furry boot slippers. Will put boots on later. 3. Hows the weather in your neck of the woods? Snow. 4. What did you eat today? Banana. I need to eat after this. (Back to making lists for my food too!) 5. Do you celebrate Valentines day? How? Sure. I find in more recent years it seems so commercial to me that I feel almost silly to participate in the festivities. We'll probably go out for dinner though! 6. If married, how long have you been married? 7 years. 7. What is your favorite feature? eyelashes 8. What is the predominant color in your wardrobe? Black 9. What is your favorite board or card game? Pictionary always get us laughing. 10. What is the 7th song listed on your iPod or MP3 player? I don't know. I'm sure it's an Avenged Sevenfold song. I haven't listened to my iPod in quite a few years. 11. What time do you usually get up in the morning? Later than I should. I'm naturally a night person. 12. If you work outside the home, how far/long is your daily commute? Used to be almost an hour. 13. Where was the last place you travelled to that was greater than 300 miles from your home? Beach 14. Can you whistle a tune? Yes 15. Seahawks or Patriots? Doesn't matter to me. DH will cheer for the Patriots. I like football as background noise. (I'm serious.) I like sports, but don't want to watch them on tv. I think games last WAY too long. Hours and hours and then there's another game! I don't want to sit that long.

    You belong to my heart
    Now and forever
    And our love had its start
    Not long ago

    We were gathering stars
    While a million guitars
    Played our love song
    When I said "I love you"
    Every beat of my heart said it, too

    Twas a moment like this
    Do you remember?
    And your eyes threw a kiss
    When they met mine

    Now we own all the stars
    Aand a million guitars
    Are still playing
    Darling, you are the song
    And you'll always belong to my heart

    Twas a moment like this
    Do you remember?
    And your eyes threw a kiss
    When they met mine

    Now we own all the stars
    Aand a million guitars
    Are still playing
    Darling, you are the song
    And you'll always belong to my hear

    My love must be a kind of blind love
    I can't see anyone but you.

    Are the stars out tonight?
    I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
    I Only Have Eyes For You, Dear.

    The moon maybe high
    but I can't see a thing in the sky,
    'Cause I Only Have Eyes For You.

    I don't know if we're in a garden,
    or on a crowded avenue.

    You are here
    So am I
    Maybe millions of people go by,
    but they all disappear from view.
    And I Only Have Eyes For You.

    Somewhere theres music
    How faint the tune
    Somewhere theres heaven
    How high the moon
    There is no moon above
    When love is far away too
    Till it comes true
    That you love me as I love you

    Somewhere theres music
    How near, how far
    Somewhere theres heaven
    Its where you are
    The darkest night would shine
    If you would come to me soon
    Until you will, how still my heart
    How high the moon

    Somewhere theres music
    How faint the tune
    Somewhere theres heaven
    How high the moon
    The darkest night would shine
    If you would come to me soon
    Until you will, how still my heart
    How high the moon

    When the moon comes over the mountain
    Every beam brings a dream, dear, of you
    Once again we'll stroll 'neath the mountain
    Through that rose-covered valley we knew

    Each day is grey and dreary
    But the night is bright and cheery
    When the moon comes over the mountain
    I'll be alone with my memories of you

    I want you to take me, where I belong
    where hearts have been broken, with a kiss and a song
    Spend the rest of my days, with out any cares
    everyone understands me, in the valley of tears.

    Some words have been spoken, so weak and low
    but my mind is made up, love has got to go
    spend the rest of my days, without any cares
    everyone understands me, in the valley of tears.

    Kiss me once, then kiss me twice
    Then kiss me once again
    It's been a long, long time
    Haven't felt like this, my dear
    Since I can't remember when
    It's been a long, long time

    You'll never know how many dreams
    I've dreamed about you
    Or just how empty they all seemed without you
    So kiss me once, then kiss me twice
    Then kiss me once again
    It's been a long, long time

    Ah, kiss me once, then kiss me twice
    Then kiss me once again
    It's been a long time

    Haven't felt like this my dear
    Since I can't remember when
    It's been a long, long time

    It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
    It don't matter, anyhow
    And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
    If you don't know by now
    When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
    Look out your window and I'll be gone
    You're the reason I'm traveling on
    Don't think twice, it's all right

    It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
    That light I never knowed
    And it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
    I'm on the dark side of the road
    Still I wish there was something you would do or say
    To try and make me change my mind and stay
    We never did too much talkin' anyway
    Don't think twice, it's all right

    It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
    Like you never did before
    It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
    I can't hear you any more
    I'm a thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road
    I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
    I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul
    Don't think twice, it's all right

    I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe
    Where I'm bound, I can't tell
    But goodbye's too good a word, gal
    So I'll just say, fare thee well
    I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
    You could have done better but I don't mind
    You just kinda wasted my precious time
    Don't think twice it's all right

    If I loved you,
    Time and again
    I would try to say
    All I'd want you to know
    If I loved you,
    Words wouldn't come in an easy way
    'round in circles I'd go
    Longin' to tell you
    But afraid and shy
    I'd let my golden chances
    Pass me by

    Soon you'd leave me,
    Off you would go in the mist of day
    Never, never to know
    How I'd love you

    Chances are 'cause I wear a silly grin
    The moment you come into view
    Chances are you think that I'm in love with you
    Just because my composure sort of slips
    The moment that your lips meet mine
    Chances are you think my heart's your Valentine

    In the magic of moonlight when I sigh, "Hold me close, dear"
    Chances are you believe the stars that fill the skies are in my eyes

    Guess you feel you'll always be the one and only one for me
    And if you think you could
    Well, chances are your chances are awfully good

    Chances are you believe the stars that fill the skies are in my eyes
    Guess you feel you'll always be the one and only one for me

    You sigh, the song begins;
    You speak, and I hear violins --
    It's magic.
    The stars desert the skies,
    and rush to nestle in your eyes --
    It's magic.
    Without a golden wand
    or mystic charms,
    Fantastic things begin
    when I am in your arms.
    When we walk hand-in-hand,
    The world becomes a wonderland --
    It's magic.
    How else can I explain
    those raindrops when there is no rain?
    It's magic.
    Why do I tell myself
    these things that happen are all really true?
    When, in my heart, I know the magic is
    my love for you.
    It's magic...
    It's magic...
    Why do I tell myself
    these things that happen are all really true?
    When, in my heart I know, the magic is
    my love for you.

    Fools rush in
    Where angels fear to tread
    And so I come to you my love
    My heart above my head

    Though I see
    The danger there
    If there's a chance for me
    Then I don't care

    Fools rush in
    Where wise men never go
    But wise men never fall in love
    So how are they to know

    When we met
    I felt my life begin
    So open up your heart and let
    This fool rush in

    Somewhere there should be for all the world to see a statue of a fool made of stone
    An image of a man who let love slip through his hands
    And then just let him stand there all alone
    And there on his face a gold tear should be placed
    To honor the million tears he's cried
    And the hurt in his eyes would show so everyone would know
    Concealed is a broken heart inside
    So build a statue and oh build it high so that all can see
    Then inscribe the World's Greatest Fool and name it after me

    Gather round me buddies,
    Hold your glasses high,
    And drink to a fool, a crazy fool who told his baby goodbye.

    Too late he found out he loves her,
    So much he wants to die.
    But drink to a fool, a crazy fool who told his baby goodbye.

    He needs her, he needs her so.
    He wonders why he let her go-oo-oo.

    She's found a new love, buddy,
    He's a lucky guy,
    So drink to the fool, 'cause I'm that fool who told his baby goodbye.

    He needs her, he needs her so.
    He wonders why he let her go-oo-oo.

    She's found a new love, buddy,

    As long as he needs me...
    Oh, yes, he does need me...
    In spite of what you see...
    ...I'm sure that he needs me.

    Who else would love him still
    When they've been used so ill?
    He knows I always will...
    As long as he needs me.

    I miss him so much when he is gone,
    But when he's near me
    I don't let on...

    ...The way I feel inside.
    The love, I have to hide...
    The hell! I've gone my pride
    As long as he needs me.

    He doesn't say the things he should.
    He acts the way he thinks he should.
    But all the same,
    I'll play
    This game
    His way.

    As long as he needs me...
    I know where I must be.
    I'll cling on steadfastly...
    As long as he needs me.

    As long as life is long...
    I'll love him right or wrong,
    And somehow, I'll be strong...
    As long as he needs me.

    If you are lonely
    Then you will know...

    When someone needs you,
    You love them so.

    I won't betray his trust...
    Though people say I must.

    I've got to stay true, just
    As long as he needs me.

    Billy Joe McAlester junior showed up at the reunion
    Clean cut shaved decked out in Armani's best
    In perfect spoken english he said now days I go by William
    And he talked about his new life and money he'd made out West
    And he tried his hardest not to be that old boy we all new
    Til he pulled out that Earnhardt wallet on that chain hooked to his belt loop

    No starched white collar is gonna keep it from bleeding through

    You can't hide redneck you might as well be proud

    Well the last we all seen of Sandy she'd moved up to Boston
    Law school paid off made her a Federal judge
    Scotty had to go and ask her if she still hates John since she lost him
    She said 'John who, oh yeah no I don't hold a grudge'
    And her honor stayed as professional as long as she could
    As the time went on she lit into John just like we all knew she would

    You might as well forget it it's gonna find it's way out
    You can't hide redneck

    You can't hide redneck
    In a big old grouch
    You're gonna blow our cover can't keep us from getting loud

    You might as well forget it it's gonna find it's way out
    You can't hide redneck you might as well be proud

    Might as well be proud

    Three little words,
    oh what Id give for that wonderful phrase,
    To hear those three little words,
    thats all Id live for the rest of my days.
    And what I feel in my heart, they tell sincerely.
    No other words can tell it half so clearly.
    Three little words, eight little letters which simply mean I love you.

    It's three o'clock in the morning,
    We've danced the whole night thru,
    And daylight soon will be dawning,
    Just one more waltz with you,
    That melody so entrancing,
    Seems to be made for us two,
    I could just keep right on dancing
    forever dear with you.
    Ding Dong Ding Dong
    There goes the three o'clock chime,
    chiming rhyming
    My heart keeps beating in time,
    Ding Dong Ding Dong
    Sounds like an old sweet love tune,
    Say that there soon will be a honeymoon.

    I remember when I was a very little girl, our house caught on fire.
    I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me up
    in his arms and raced through the burning building out to the pavement.
    I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames.
    And when it was all over I said to myself, "Is that all there is to a fire"

    SUNG:
    Is that all there is, is that all there is
    If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
    Let's break out the booze and have a ball
    If that's all there is

    SPOKEN:
    And when I was 12 years old, my father took me to a circus, the greatest show on earth.
    There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears.
    And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads.
    And so I sat there watching the marvelous spectacle.
    I had the feeling that something was missing.
    I don't know what, but when it was over,
    I said to myself, "is that all there is to a circus?

    SUNG:
    Is that all there is, is that all there is
    If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
    Let's break out the booze and have a ball
    If that's all there is

    SPOKEN:
    Then I fell in love, head over heels in love, with the most wonderful boy in the world.
    We would take long walks by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes.
    We were so very much in love.
    Then one day he went away and I thought I'd die, but I didn't,
    and when I didn't I said to myself, "is that all there is to love?"

    SUNG:
    Is that all there is, is that all there is
    If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

    SPOKEN:
    I know what you must be saying to yourselves,
    if that's the way she feels about it why doesn't she just end it all?
    Oh, no, not me. I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment,
    for I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you,
    when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my lst breath, I'll be saying to myself

    SUNG:
    Is that all there is, is that all there is
    If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
    Let's break out the booze and have a ball
    If that's all there is

    I wouldn't want to be a chimney sweep
    All black from head to foot
    From climbing in them chimneys
    And cleaning out that soot.
    With a broom and ladder and pail
    The darkened walls I scale -
    And far..and high...I see a patch of sky.

    I'd rather be the gypsy
    (I'd rather be the gypsy)
    Whose camped at the edge of town -
    (Camped at the edge of town)
    The one who has the dancing bear
    That follows him around.
    And he lifts his big foot up;
    He puts his big foot down
    And bows...and twirls...
    And dances 'round and 'round.

    I found I was a cabin boy last night as I did dream -
    Bound upon a magic ship for a land I'd never seen.
    And the moon she filled our sails;
    And the stars they steered our course;
    And on our bow there was a golden horse.

    The queen eats fruit and candy; the bishop nuts and cheese
    And when I am a grown man, I'll taste just what I please -
    The honey from the bee, the shellfish from the sea,
    The earth, the wind, a girl, someone to share these things with me.

    I wouldn't want to be a chimney sweep, etc...
    (I'd rather be the gypsy, etc...)
    (I dreamed I was a cabin boy, etc...)

    East is east and west is west
    And the wrong one I have chose
    Let's go where I'll keep on wearin'
    Those frills and flowers and buttons and bows
    Rings and things and buttons and bows
    Don't bury me in this prairie
    Take me where the cement grows
    Let's move down to some big town
    Where they love a gal by the cut o' her clothes
    And I'll stand out
    In buttons and bows
    I'll love you in buckskin
    Or skirts that I've homespun
    But I'll love ya' longer, stronger where
    Yer friends don't tote a gun
    My bones denounce the buckboard bounce
    And the cactus hurts my toes
    Let's vamoose where gals keep usin'
    Those silks and satins and linen that shows
    And I'm all yours in buttons and bows
    Gimme eastern trimmin' where women are women
    In high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes
    And French perfume that rocks the room
    And I'm all yours in buttons and bows

    ain't even gonna to ask you
    I can read you like a book
    Girl if I ever saw one that's an
    I can't believe I did that look
    You look like something that the cat drug in
    So I won't kick you while you're down
    Just let me tell you friend to friend
    'Bout a block I've been around

    Did you really think last night would last forever
    Did you really think that guy hung the moon
    Right now you hate yourself 'cause you knew better
    But there's no use crying over spilled perfume

    There's a big difference between lonely
    And lonely for way too long
    And I knew when he made his move
    You weren't feeling all that strong
    So I bit my tongue 'cause I saw it coming
    As you danced so close to him
    It's two steps forward and three steps back
    When a heart is on the mend

    Did you really think last night would last forever
    Did you really think that guy hung the moon
    Right now you hate yourself 'cause you knew better
    But there's no use crying over spilled perfume

    You fell in a moment of weakness
    Well you just got to pull yourself back up
    Dry your morning-after tears
    'Cause what's done is done

    Did you really think last night would last forever
    Did you really think that guy hung the moon
    Right now you hate yourself 'cause you knew better
    But there's no use crying over spilled perfume

    No use crying over, no use crying over
    No use crying over, spilled perfume

    I was all right for a while
    I could smile for a while
    but I saw you last night
    You held my hand so tight
    as you stopped to say hello
    oh You wished me well,
    You couldn't tell that
    I've been crying over you,
    Crying over you and you said "So long"
    Left me standing all alone,
    Alone and crying, crying, crying, crying
    It's hard to understand

    that the touch of your hand can start me crying
    I thought that I was over you
    But it's true, so true
    I love you even more than I did before
    But darling, what can I do?
    For you don't love me
    and I'll always be
    Crying over you, crying over you
    yes now you're gone
    and from this moment on, I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying
    Yeah, crying, crying over you

    I just sware
    That I'll always be there
    I'd give anything and everything
    And I will always care
    Through weekness and strength
    Happiness and sorrow
    For better or for worse
    I will love you
    With every beat of my heart

    From this moment life has begun
    From this moment you are the one
    Right beside you is where I belong
    From this moment on

    From this moment I have been blessed
    I live only for your happiness
    And for your love
    I'd give my last breath
    From this moment on

    I give my hand to you with all my heart
    Can't wait to live my life with you
    Can't wait to start
    You and I will never be apart
    My dreams came true because of you

    From this moment as long as I live
    I will love you
    I promise you this
    There is nothing I wouldn't give
    From this moment on

    Your the reason I believe in love
    And your the answer to my prayers from up above
    All we need is just the two of us
    My dreams came true because of you

    From this moment as long as I live
    I will love you
    I promise you this
    There is nothing I wouldn't give
    From this moment

    I will love you (I will love you)
    As long as I live
    From this moment on

    Oh my life is changing everyday
    Every possible way
    Though my dreams, its never quite as it seems
    Never quite as it seems

    I know I felt like this before
    But now Im feeling it even more
    Because it came from you

    Then I open up and see
    The person fumbling here is me
    A different way to be

    I want more, impossible to ignore
    Impossible to ignore
    Theyll come true, impossible not to do
    Impossible not to do

    Now I tell you openly
    You have my heart so dont hurt me
    For what I couldnt find

    Talk to me amazing mind
    So understanding and so kind
    Youre everything to me

    Oh my life is changing everyday
    Every possible way
    Though my dreams, its never quite as it seems
    cause youre a dream to me

    If they had ever told me how sweet a kiss could be
    I would have said "Impossible, impossible for me"
    And if they said I'd find you beyond the rainbow's end
    I would have said "Impossible, impossible, my friend"

    To dream about what might have been
    Is strange enough for me
    But now it seems I'm living in
    A dream too beautiful to be

    If they had said a moonbeam could calm a stormy sea
    I would have said "Impossible" but now at last I see
    That nothing is impossible if you are here with me

    I would have said "Impossible" but now at last I see
    That nothing is impossible if you are here with me

    Don't know why
    There's no sun up in the sky
    Stormy weather
    Since my man and I ain't together
    Keeps raining all the time

    Life is bare
    Gloom and misery everywhere
    Stormy Weather
    Just can't get my poorself together
    I'm weary all the time
    The time, so weary all the time

    Since he went away
    the blues walked in and met me
    If he stays away
    Old rocking chair will get me
    All I do is pray
    That the lord above will let me
    Walk in the sun once more

    Can't go on
    Everything I had is gone
    Stormy weather
    Since my man and I ain't together
    Keeps raining all the time
    Keeps raining all the time

    I can't go on
    Everything I had is gone
    Stormy weather
    Since my man and I ain't together

    My mama done tol' me,
    When I was in knee pants,
    My mama done tol' me,
    Son! A woman'll sweet talk
    And give ya the big eye;
    But when the sweet talkin's done,
    A woman's a two face
    A worrisome thing
    Who'll leave ya t'sing
    The blues in the night

    Now the rain's a fallin',
    Hear the train a collin'
    Whoo-ee (my mama done tol' me)
    Hear dat lonesome whistle
    Blowin' cross the trestle,
    Whoo-ee (my mama done tol' me)
    A whoo-ee-duh-whoo-ee, ol' clickety clack's
    A echoin' back th' blues in the night

    The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin'
    And the moon'll hide its light
    When you get the blues in the night

    Take my word, the mockin' bird'll
    Sing the saddest kind o' song
    He knows things are wrong and he's right
    From Natchez to Mobile,
    From Memphis to St. Joe,
    Wherever the four winds blow,
    I been in some big towns,
    An' heard me some big talk,
    But there is one thing I know
    A woman's a two face,
    A worrisome thing
    Who'll leave ya t'sing the blues in the night
    My mama was right, there's blues in the night

    Peeps over the hill,

    (Still) though you broke my heart
    (Still) though we're far apart
    (I love you still)
    (Still) after all this time
    (Still) you're still on my mind
    (I love you still)

    SPOKEN: I've lost count of the hours and I've lost track of the days. In fact, I've lost
    just about everything since you went away. Everything, that is, except the mem'ries you
    left me. And that's one thing that no one can mar. I don't know who you're with; I
    don't even know where you've gone. My only hope is that some day you might hear this
    song and you'll know that I wrote it especially for you. And I love you, wherever you
    are.

    (Still) after all this time
    (Still) you're still on my mind
    (I love you still)

    SPOKEN: This flame in my heart is like an eternal fire, for every day it burns hotter and
    every day it burns higher. And I haven't been able to put out one little flicker, not
    even with all of these tears. My friends think I'm crazy and maybe I am. But I'll carry
    this torch just as long as I can, for some day, you might just decide to come home and I
    want you to know I'm still here.

    (Still) though we're far apart

    Strolling down the avenue
    Me and my shadow
    Not a soul to tell our troubles too

    And when it's twelve o'clock
    We climb the stair
    We never knock
    For nobody's there

    Just me and my shadow
    All alone and feeling blue

    One day we walked along the sand
    One day in early spring
    You held a piper in your hand
    To mend its broken wing
    Now I'll remember many a day
    And many a lonely mile
    The echo of a piper's song
    The shadow of a smile

    The shadow of your smile
    When you are gone
    Will color all my dreams
    And light the dawn
    Look into my eyes
    My love and see
    All the lovely things
    You are to me

    Our wistful little star
    Was far too high
    A teardrop kissed your lips
    And so did I
    Now when I remember spring
    All the joy that love can bring
    I will be remembering
    The shadow of your smile

    Many a tear has to fall but it's all in the game
    All in the wonderful game that we know as love
    You have words with him and your future's looking dim
    But these things your hearts can rise above

    Once in a while he won't call but it's all in the game
    Soon he'll be there at your side with a sweet bouquet
    And he'll kiss your lips and caress your waiting fingertips
    And your heart will fly away

    Uh huh, honey, alright.

    Um, um, sweet nothings
    He knows the things I like to hear
    Um, Um, sweet nothings.

    We walk along hand in hand
    Um, um, sweet nothings
    Yeah, we both understand
    Um, um, sweet nothings
    Sittin' in class or trying to read my book
    My baby, give me that special look
    Sweet nothings, um, um, sweet nothings.

    A sittin' on my front porch
    Um, um, sweet nothings
    Well, do I love you? Of course
    Um, um, sweet nothings
    Mama turned on the front porch light
    Saying come here darling that's enough for tonight
    Sweet nothings, um, um, sweet nothings.

    Sweet nothings
    Um, um, sweet nothings
    Sweet nothings...

    I used to walk with you
    Along the avenue
    Our hearts were carefree and gay
    How could I know I'd lose you
    Somewhere along the way?

    The friends we used to know
    Would always smile "Hello"
    No love like our love they'd say
    Then love slipped through our fingers
    Somewhere along the way

    I should forget
    But with the loneliness of night I start remembering ev'rything
    You're gone and yet
    There's still a feeling deep inside
    That you will always be part of me

    So now I look for you
    Along the avenue
    And as I wander I pray
    That some day soon I'll find you
    Somewhere along the way

    I should forget
    But with the loneliness of night I start remembering ev'rything
    You're gone and yet
    There's still a feeling deep inside
    That you will always be part of me

    So now I look for you
    Along the avenue
    And as I wander I pray
    That some day soon I'll find you
    Somewhere along the way
    Somewhere along the way

    As we stroll along together
    holding hands walking all along
    so in love are we two
    that we don't know what to do
    so in love (so in love)
    in a world of our own (so in love)
    as we walk by the sea together
    under stars twinkling high above
    so in love are we two
    no one else but me and you
    so in love (so in love)
    so much in love (so in love)
    so in love (so in love)
    so much in love (so in love)

    As we stroll along together
    I tell you, I need you oh so much
    I love, I love you my darling
    can you tell it in my touch

    as we walk down the aisle together
    we will vow to be together till we die
    so in love are we two
    just can't wait to say I do
    so in love (so in love)
    in a world of our own
    (so in love) so in love
    (so in love) are you and I

    that you mean so much to me(that u mean, that u mean so much)
    you're everything I ever wanted in a woman(your everthang,everthang,everthang,)
    touch to feel your body close to me(I love, I love u my darlin)
    and i just want to hold you in my arms forever

    We strolled the lane together,
    Laughed at the rain together,
    Sang loves refrain together,
    And we both pretend
    It will never end.
    One day we cried together,
    Cast love aside together,
    Youre gone from me,
    But in my menory,
    We always will be together.

    We strolled the lane together,
    Laughed at the rain together,
    Sang loves refrain together,
    We knew long ago
    That our love would grow.
    Through storm and sun together,
    Our hearts are one together,
    Youre gone from me,
    But in my menory,
    We always will be together.

    The leaves on the tree are turnin' inside out
    From the Great White North there's a big black cloud
    Run for shelter if you can
    There's a storm in the heartland

    We made it through the flood of '93
    But this is gonna be the death of me
    I can't hide the tears of a desperate man
    There's a storm in the heartland

    She's leavin' me just like a restless wind
    And I can see my world is comin' to an end
    Like the sounds of thunder empty words ring out again
    There's a storm in the heartland
    There's a storm in the heartland

    The love she gave was like a breath of spring
    Sweet and pure as a mountain stream
    I couldn't see the danger close at hand
    There's a storm in the heartland

    She's leavin' me just like a restless wind
    And I can see my world is comin' to an end
    Like the sounds of thunder empty words ring out again
    There's a storm in the heartland
    There's a storm in the heartland

    There's a storm in the heartland

    I don't care what they say
    I won't stay in a world without love

    Please lock me away
    And don't allow the day
    Here inside, where I hide with my loneliness
    I don't care what they say, I won't stay
    In a world without love

    Birds sing out of tune
    And rain clouds hide the moon
    I'm OK, here I stay with my loneliness
    I don't care what they say, I won't stay
    In a world without love

    So I wait, and in a while
    I will see my true love smile
    She may come, I know not when
    When she does, I'll lose
    So baby until then

    Lock me away
    And don't allow the day
    Here inside, where I hide with my loneliness
    I don't care what they say, I won't stay
    In a world without love

    (Please lock me away)
    (And don't allow the day)
    (Here inside, where I hide with my loneliness)
    I don't care what they say, I won't stay
    In a world without love

    So I wait, and in a while
    I will see my true love smile
    She may come, I know not when
    When she does, I'll lose
    So baby until then

    Lock me away
    And don't allow the day
    Here inside, where I hide with my loneliness
    I don't care what they say, I won't stay
    In a world without love

    I don't care what they say, I won't stay
    In a world without love (forget him)

    There were bells on a hill
    But I never heard them ringing
    No I never heard them at all
    Till there was you

    There were birds in the sky
    But I never saw them winging
    No I never saw them at all
    Till there was you

    Then there was music and wonderful roses
    They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and dew

    There was love all around
    But I never heard it singing
    No I never heard it at all
    Till there was you

    Then there was music and wonderful roses
    They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and dew

    There was love all around
    But I never heard it singing
    No I never heard it at all
    Till there was you

    Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
    Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
    And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
    To take you to his mansion in the sky

    She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her "baby"
    All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy
    'Cause she walks around town with a suitcase in her hand
    Looking for a mysterious dark-haired man

    In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
    Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
    Then a man of low degree stood by her side
    And promised her he'd take her for his bride

    Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
    Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
    And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
    To take you to his mansion in the sky
