Beautiful

The clouds are sailin' way up high tonight
Silver moon 'bout fills the sky
The borealis and celestial lights
Put on a show for you and I
We pause in shadows of the moon, mercy
Stars are falling from the sky
That light's come halfway 'cross the universe
Just to fall here in our eyes
Don't it make you feel invincible
Don't it kinda make you feel high
Don't it make you feel...... beautiful
Ain't ya glad to be alive
The warm wind's carrying a sweet perfume
Our senses drowning in delight
The oleander and the jasmine's bloom
Add to the wonder of the night
Don't it make you feel invincible
Don't it kinda make you feel high
Don't it make you feel...... beautiful
Ain't ya glad to be alive
.....You're beautiful
Ain't ya glad to be alive
Ain't ya glad to be alive
Ain't ya glad to be alive

Forsaken Homeland
05:06

I woke up this morning, I had nothing on my mind
No job to do, no thought of you, no worry girl, no lyin'
I can't quite remember when it was that I went blind
No eye for joy, survived it boy, and I'm seeing now just fine
We can never go back to the things we used to know
We can never go back, Forsaken Homeland
It's no good believin' when your faith is based on dreams
That once were shared, someone cared and you were building memories
The times I remember, they're over now it seems
When love lives on, and hope is gone, it gets a little hard to see
We can never go back to the things we used to know
We can never go back, Forsaken Homeland
We can never go back to the things we used to know
We can never go back.....
The sunsets aren't the same
The old ones weren't this tame
But like the moth and the candle flame
I found out the hard way.....
My good friends they worry, they think I might be going down
They act so assuring, and try to cheer me up somehow
And just for insurance, they say you might be coming 'round
They don't know, you are a stranger to me now
We can never go back to the things we used to know
We can never go back, Forsaken Homeland
We can never go back to the things we used to know
No!

Endlessly, Aimlessly
04:21
|
|||
|
Endlessly wondering, aimlessly wandering, I'm thinking of you
Aimlessly wandering, endlessly wondering what should I do?
And I'm sad to say thatI don't know
A stronger man would probably let you go
But here I am wandering, endlessly wondering, and I'm thinking of you
Releasing the hurt inside, and letting the pain abide
Don't wanna love nobody but you
Why can't we let love decide, forget all our foolish pride
I ask myself, I wish that I knew......
Here I am wandering, endlessly wondering, and I'm thinking of you
We've got such divergent ways, I hope that there comes a day
We'll see our dreams as one and the same
And never let go those dreams no matter how hard it seems
To live in love our only aim
But, ah, we don't share a single sight
And it's hard to know if we'll get it right
So here I am wandering, endlessly wondering
And I'm thinking of you
Wondering what I should do
I know you're wondering, too
You know it's always been true
I'm in love with you
Just gotta let it shine through
Uhmmmmm, mmmmm
Yeaheyaeyaa

Give It To Me
04:49
|
|||
|
Well, I know how you feel and I feel for you baby
But I don't give a damn, 'cause you're driving me crazy
And somehow, think you know what I mean
'Cause a lopsided love once nearly destroyed me
Yeah, I know you're afraid but don't try to avoid me
'Cause baby, gonna make you see
It ain't life unless you live it
It ain't love if you don't give it away to someone
Give it to me
Yeah, when love comes and goes you're left wondering why
And you worry sometimes if you're doing it right
Because lately, you ain't done nothing but cry
And you're not sure if love is a curse or a blessing
But I'm telling you now that it's new and refreshing
Hey baby, come on and give it a try
'Cause it ain't life unless you live it
It ain't love if you don't give it away to someone
Give it to me
There's people who're putting a price on your freedom
But I wouldn't think you would think I would be one
'Cause baby, that'll never be
'Cause if freedom is all that you're after
Well then, I want your love and your lips and your laughter
I don't want you if I can't have you free
'Cause it ain't life unless you live it
It ain't love if you don't give it away to someone
Give it to me
Yeah, it ain't life unless you live it
It ain't love if you don't give it away to someone
Give it to me

Hey, Julianne
What we would be, what we could be
We could be burnin' so strong and fine like the heavens above
You and me we could show all the world how to love
Julianne
What we should be...
We should be talking and laughing, showing off some hidden charm and then
We should be lying in each others arms again
Julianne
We should be dancing slow in some quiet cafe toe-to-toe, face-to-face
Dreamy music or no we would easily hold every eye in the place
We could be standing on some distant mountain at dawn looking down on the sun
We could be oceans apart, yet we two would be one

Lewis
03:09
|

Lewis drives a Cadillac
And he always wears his cowboy hat
It's the drug-store kind that you shape yourself
Took him three whole days, with some outside help
Them good ol' boys drink Texas beer
Their boots don't shine and they know no fear
Every one I've met would swear that he's kin to Jesse James
Take a guy in a business suit
Dress him up in jeans and cowboy boots
You can teach him how to shoot
But he's no Jesse James
Lewis loves the rodeo
And truck stop girls, don'tcha know
Cowboy boots may pinch his toes
But he don't complain, he can stand the pain, he's an outlaw man
Them good ol' boys drink Texas beer
Their boots don't shine and they know no fear
Every one I've met would swear that he's kin to Jesse James
Take a guy in a business suit
Dress him up in jeans and cowboy boots
You can teach him how to shoot
But he's no Jesse James
Lewis dreams of rustling cows
And robbing banks in one-horse towns
Closest he's been to the open range
Is a grassy spot in the parking lot where his dad makes change
Them good ol' boys drink Texas beer
Their boots don't shine and they know no fear
Every one I've met would swear that he's kin to Jesse James
Take a guy in a business suit
Dress him up in jeans and cowboy boots
You can teach him how to shoot
But he's no Jesse James

Love

Hey, love...
If you're looking to live and not merely survive
It's love
Such a joy just to see yourself comin' alive
With love
It's like planting a seed and watching it grow
Yeah, love....
Both of us know, you reap what you sow
Yeah, love, it's so good when you find it
Hey, love, it's got power behind it
Love...
If you're wondering how it'll find you tonight
It's love
It's the light of the world and it's shining so bright
Yeah, love
It's not what you hold, it's what comes shining through
Yeah, love
It's its own damn reward and it's coming to you
Yeah, love, it's so good when you find it
Hey, love, it's got power behind it
Hey, love
Like the scent of a rose on a sweet summer breeze
It's love
It can cut to your soul like the wind in the trees
Yeah, love
It's a curly-haired girl in a red cabriolet
Yeah love
There's a junction ahead and she's comin' your way
Now love, it's so good when you find it
Yeah, love, it's got power behind it

That's My Girl
04:26
|

|
She got a smile reminiscent of the first sweet rays of dawn
The little child still reflects the warmth when evening rays are gone
She lays her sweet, lovin' hands on me, draws me in and we begin to twirl
That's my girl, ummmmmm that's my girl
My oh my, sometimes she'll give it up and leave me in control
And in her eyes I can see the soft reflection of her soul
Sometimes it's me, you know, I need her so, and even though my mind goes all awhirl
That's my girl, ummmmmm that's my girl
She's strong and kind, and with her gentle words she helps to ease my way
And when she shines there ain't no limit to the love that she'll convey
Her inner light, it shines so bright, it's quite a sight when she lets her love unfurl
That's my girl, ummmmmm that's my girl
That's my sweet, loving little one, makes my heart come all undone
My girl
That's my sweet spark of nature's fire, all in all my one desire
When it's said and done, she's the only one
She's my heart and soul, she's my rock and roll
That's my girl

Dirty Ol' River
06:11

Some people say love is a foolish game
Some people say lovers and fools are the same
Heard it said life's hard, you got to be tough
Some people give up on love, say comfort's enough
I say you get what you go for
I say you got to got to got to believe
Dirty ol' river, keep on flowin'
Been a long time comin', be a long time gone
Dirty ol' river, keep on flowin'
Been a long time comin', be a long time gone
You try to love some people throw it back in your face
You gotta know somebody you could stand to replace
This crazy woman treat love like it's some kind of game
She drive me crazy, then ask me why I'm asking this way
But it's the moves that she makes that matter
Between good reason and none, the latter
Always makes me wish that I had her here tonight, right by my side
Dirty ol' river, keep on flowin'
Been a long time comin', be a long time gone
Dirty ol' river, keep on flowin'
Been a long time comin', be a long time gone
You should be laughing, baby
Put a smile on your face
Those fears your having baby
They're the same damn doubts everyone of us face
Sometimes I wonder what you see when you're looking at love
When you let your mind wander what are you dreaming of
Are you ever just struck by the heavens above
If you got what you wanted, hey would that be enough
Don't let your dreams slip away, baby
I hear the river never talks to a fool....
Dirty ol' river, keep on flowin'
Been a long time comin', be a long time gone
Dirty ol' river, keep on flowin'
Been a long time comin', be a long time gone
