Let them say we're crazy
I don't care about that
Put your hand in my hand baby don't ever look back
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart
And we can build this thing together
Stand this storm forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us now
I'm so glad I found you
I'm not gonna lose you
Whatever it takes I will stay here with you
Take it to the good times
See it through the bad times
Whatever it takes here's what I'm gonna do
Let them say we're crazy
What do they know
Put your arms around me baby don't ever let go
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart
And we can build this thing together
Stand this storm forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us
Oh, all that I need is you
All that I ever need
And all that I want to do
Is hold you forever, and ever and ever
Hey!
And we can build this thing together
Stand this storm forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us
And we can build this thing together
Stand this storm forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us
And we can build this thing together
Stand this storm forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us
And we can build this thing together
Stand this storm forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna lead you on
I don't wanna hold you back
From where you might belong
You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say but goodbye
You deserve the chance at the kind of love
I'm not sure I'm worthy of
Losing you is painful to me
I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna lead you on
I don't wanna hold you back
From where you might belong
You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say but goodbye
You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to try
Though it's gonna hurt us both
There's no other way than to say goodbye
Let us die young
Or let us live forever
We don't have the power
But we never say never
Sitting in a sand pit
Life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men
Can you imagine when the race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders
We're getting in tune
The music's played by the, the madmen.
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever young
Some are like water
Some are like the heat
Some are a melody
Some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We'll let them come true
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Ain't no use in complaining when you got a job to do
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in and that's when I met you
Standing on your mama's porch you told me that you'd wait forever
And when you held my hand I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of 69
Man we were killing time, we were young and restless, we needed to unwind
I guess nothing could last forever forever
And now the times are changing, look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string I think about you, wonder
what on earth went wrong
Standing on your mama's porch you told me it would last forever
The way you held my hand I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of 69
With your arms open wide
Want you here by my side
Come to me
Darling rescue me
When this world's closing in
There's no need to pretend
Set me free - Darling' rescue me
I don't wanna let you go
So I'm standing in your way
I never needed anyone
Like I'm needing you today
Do I have to say the words?
Do I have to tell the truth?
Do I have to shout it out?
Do I have to say a prayer?
Must I prove to you
How good we are together?
Do I have to say the words?
Rescue me from despair
Tell me you will be there
Help me please
Darling' rescue me
Every dream that we share
Every cross that we bear
Can't you see
Darling rescue me
I don't wanna let you go
So I'm standing in your way
I never needed anyone
Like I'm needing you today
Do I have to say the words?
Do I have to tell the truth?
Do I have to shout it out?
Do I have to say a prayer?
Must I prove to you
How good we are together?
Do I have to say the words?
Do I have to say the words?
Do I have to tell the truth?
Do I have to shout it out?
Do I have to say a prayer?
Must I prove to you
How good we are together?
Do I have to say the words?
And now you've given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart
You said you'd die for me
Woke up to reality
And found the future not so bright
I dreamt the impossible
That maybe things could work out right
I thought it was you
Who would do me no wrong
And now you've given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart
You've given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart
From this empty heart
I thought it was you who said you'd die for love
And now you've given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart
And now you've given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart
Oh no no no
You said you'd die for me
Oh oh die for me
So much for your promises
So much for your promises
Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK
Say after me
It's better to be safe than sorry
Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two
Oh the things that you say
Is it live or
Just to play my worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway
Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
In a day...
Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
In a day...
Take on me
Take me on
Take on me...
Talk in everlasting words
And dedicate them all to me
And I will give you all my life
I'm here if you should call to me
You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say
It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away
You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say
It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away
It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away
It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away
I won't tell a soul
I won't tell at all
Do they have to know
About my Goodnight Girl
Caught up in your wishin' well
Your hopes and sadness
Take your love 'n' promises
And make them last
You make them last
You keep me so near you
And see me so far
And hold me and send me
And deep in your heart
I won't tell a soul
I won't tell at all
I won't let them know
About my Goodnight Girl
Caught up in your wishin' well
Your hopes and sadness
Take your love 'n' promises
And make them last
You make them last
Caught up in your wishin' well
Your hopes and sadness
Take your love 'n' promises
And make them last
You make them last
It doesn't matter how sad
I made you
Doesn't matter how hard
I try
Just remember the same
Old reason
Reflected in your eyes
You said you wanted me
Caught up in your wishin' well
Your hopes and sadness
Take your love 'n' promises
And make them last
You make them last
Caught up in your wishin' well
Your hopes and sadness
Take your love 'n' promises
And make them last
You make them last
When can I see you again
When can my heart beat again
When can I see you again
When can I breathe once again
And when can I see you
When does my "someday" begin
When I'll find someone again
And what if I still am not truly over
What am I supposed to do then, babe...
Do you see what I'm saying
Even if, if it's not making sense
So when can I see you
When can I see you again
When can my heart beat again
When can I see you again
And when can I breathe once again
And when can I see you...again
Yeah, baby
Do you see what I'm saying
Even if, if it's not making sense, baby
So when can I see you again
When can I see you again
Can my heart beat again, baby
When can I see you again
And when can I breathe once again
And when can I see, babe, again
Wanna see you again
Again......
I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical
Fantasy
Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it
Secretly
So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand
The urgency
Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because
CHORUS:
I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to loose control
Yes I know what's on your mind
When you say "Stay with me tonight."
Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because
CHORUS
'Cause I had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Till I've found the truth
and I owe it all to you
CHORUS
CHORUS :
You might think it's foolish
Or maybe it's untrue
You might think I'm crazy
But all I want is you
You might think it's hysterical
But I know when you're weak
You think you're in the movies
And everything's so deep
But I think that you're wild
When you flash that fragile smile
CHORUS
And it's hard so hard to take
There's no escape without a scrape
You kept it going till the sun fell down
You kept it going
You might think I'm delirious
The way I run you down
But somewhere sometime
When you're curious
I'll be back around
And I think that you're wild
And so uniquely styled
CHORUS
CHORUS :
So i'll just keep on walking down this open road,
Hoping someone somewhere needs me
So I'll just keep on walking down this open road,
Talking to the man who knows me,
The man is me
My life was once full of people's faces,
Brought to me by love which isn't strange.
My life had the goodness of blue waters,
A day's a day for all I used to say,
Sometimes I can sit and cry my heart out,
Drowning in my autocratic ways
That's when I am tempted by the waters,the waters that can take me
far away
My life is now full of people's faces,
Within the light of change I pulled away,
My life shows that "no man is an island"
I've exchanged the piece of life I cut away
Now you won't see me walking down that open road,
I've found someone who needs me,
No you won't see me walking down that open road,
I've found at last the man who knows me,
Yes, he knows me,
The man was me.
'Cause she's living in the love of the common people,
Smile's from the heart of a family man.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
And she can.
It's a good thing you don't have a busfare,
It would fall thru' the hole in your pocket and you'd lose it
In the snow on the ground.
You got to walk into town to find a job.
Tryin' to keep your hands warm
When the hole in your shoe lets the snow come thru'
And chills you to the bone.
Now you'd better go home where it's warm,
Where you can live in a love of the common people,
Smile from the heart of a family man.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
And she can.
Living on a dream ain't easy
But the closer the knit the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away.
You take 'em in stride for family pride.
You know that faith is in your foundation
And with a whole lot of love and a warm conversation
But don't forget to pray.
Making it strong were you belong
And we're living in the love of the common people,
Smile's from the heart of a family man.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
And she can.
Yes, we're living in the love of the common people,
Smile's from the heart of a family man.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can.
Yes, we're living in the love of the common people,
Smile's from the heart of a family man.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can.
Yes, we're living in the love of the common people,
Smile's really hard on a family man.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
And she can.
Hello, you fool,
I love you,
C'mon join the joyride,
Join the joyride.
She's a flower,
I can paint her,
She's a child of the sun,
We're a part of this together,
Could never turn around and run.
Don't need no fortune teller
To know where my lucky love belongs oh no.
Cos it all begins again when it ends,
And we're all magic friends.
She says:
Hello, you fool,
I love you,
C'mon join the joyride,
Be a joyrider.
I take you on a skyride,
A felling like you're spellbound.
The sunshine is a lady
Who rocks you like a baby.
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time
Thinking about you
And it's almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Since you¹ve been gone
Away
I ain't missing you
No matter
What I might say
There's a message
In the wild
And I'm sending you this signal tonight
You don't know
How desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
In your world
I have no meaning
Though I'm trying hard to understand
And it's my heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone
Away
I ain't missing you
No matter
What my friends say
And there's a message that I'm sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can't bridge this distance
Stop this heartbreak overload
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone
Away
I ain't missing you
No matter
What my friends say
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I keep lying to myself
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone
Away
I ain't missing you
No matter
What my friends say
Ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I keep lying to myself
Ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
Ain't missing you
Oh no
No matter what my friends might say
I ain't missing you
Verse 2
I believe it's meant to be, darling,
I watch you when your sleeping,
You belong to me,
Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming?
Or is this burning and eternal flame?
Chorus
Say my name, the sun shines through the rain,
A whole life so lonely,
and then you come and ease the pain,
I don't want to lose this feeling, Ooh....
Repeat Chorus
Say my name, the sun shines through the rain,
A whole life so lonely,
and then you come and ease the pain,
I don't want to lose this feeling, Ooh....
Repeat Verse 1
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling,
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand?
Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame?
These foolish games are tearing me apart
You thoughtless words are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
You were always brilliant in the morning
Smoking your cigarettes, talking over coffee
You philosophies on art, Baroque moved you,
You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones
As I clumsily strummed my guitar
You'd teach me of honest things
Things that were daring, things that were clean
Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean
So I hid my soiled hands behind my back
Somewhere along the line I must've gone off track with you
Excuse me, think I've mistaken you for somebody else
Somebody who gave a damn,
Somebody more like myself
These foolish games are tearing me apart
You thoughtless words are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
You took off your coat and stood in the rain
You were always crazy like that
Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new
flash back warm night, almost left behind
suitcase of memories
Time after sometime you pictured me
I'm walking too far ahead
you're callin' to me
I can't hear what you've said
you said: "Go slow, I fall behind "
the second hand unwinds
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
I turn, my picture fades
and darkness has turned to grey
watching through windows
you're wondering if I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
the drum beats out of time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
You see my old man's got a problem
He lives with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I say his body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way
I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way
