(chorus:)
So many dreams that flew away So many words we didn't say Two people lost in a storm Where did we go? Where'd we go?
We lost what we both had found You know we let each other down But then most of all I Do Love You Still!
We played the games that people play We made our mistakes along the way Somehow I know deep in my heart You needed me 'Cause I needed you so desperatly! We were too blind to see But then most of all I Do Love You Still!
Sail on down the line Bout a half a mile or so And don't really wanna know Where you're going
Maybe once or twice you see Time after time I tried to To hold on to what we got But now you're going
And I don't mind about the Things you're gonna say, Lord I gave all my money and my time I know it's a shame But I'm giving you back your name Yeah, yeah
Yes, I'll be on my way I won't be back to stay I guess I'll move along I'm looking for a good time
Sail on down the line Ain't it funny how the time can go Friends say they told me so But it doesn't matter
It was plain to see that A small town boy like me Just wasn't your cup of tea I was wishful thinking
I gave you my heart and I tried to make you happy And you gave me nothing in return You know, it ain't so hard to say Would you please just go away Yeah, yeah
I've thrown away the blues I'm tired of being used I want everyone to know I'm looking for a good time Good time, yeah
Sail on, honey Good times never felt so good Sail on, honey Good times never felt so good
Father Help Your children And don't let them fall By the side of the road, mmm...mmm...
And teach them To love one another That Heaven might find A place in their hearts
'Cause Jesus is love He won't let you down And I know He's mine forever Oh, in my heart
We've got to walk on Walk on through temptation 'Cause His love and His wisdom Will be our helpin' hand
And I know the Truth And His words will be our salvation Lift up our hearts To be thankful and glad
That Jesus is love He won't let you down And I know He's mine Deep down in my soul
Jesus is love Oh, yes, He is He won't let you down And I know He's mine, He's mine, He's mine, He's mine, all mine Forever, oh, in my heart Help me, heart, heart Ooh...ooh...
(Deep in my heart) I know, I know, I know, I know Ah, 'cause His love's the power (Power) His love's the glory (Glory) Forever (Ever and ever)
Lady - you bring me up when I'm down, Maybe you're gonna change my life around. You came to me when I was lonely and no one cared. You made me see that I was only just runnin' scared. I saw your face and somethin' told me you were the one. You smiled at me and now I see: My life's begun. Lady - you brought me in from out the rain, Maybe me life will never be the same. Once I was filled with desperation - a solitary man You gave me hope and inspiration like only true love can. Now I believe in what you're sayin' - I'm ten feet tall. This love don't need no explainin' - we've got it all. Lady - you bring me up when I'm down, ... Lady - you bring me up when I'm down, ... Lady - you bring me up when I'm down, ...
I want you to want me I'm going crazy knowing he will be your lover tonight and when he comes I'll let you go I'll just pretend as you walk out of the door oh no I can't sleep oh no I'm going crazy in love over you
I need you to need me I wanna hold you but you're holding someone else in your arms when I close my eyes I see your face I'm just not sure how much my heart can break oh no I can't think oh no I'm going crazy in love over you
oh no I can't sleep anymore baby oh no I can't think anymore baby oh no I'm going crazy in love over you
