Rod Stewart

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

For the morning sun in all it's glory,
Meets the day with hope and comfort too,
You fill my life with laughter, somehow you make it better,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

There's a love less defined,
And its yours and its mine,
Like the sun.
And at the end of the day,
We should give thanks and pray,
To the one, to the one.

And its yours and its mine,

Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

Take away all my sadness, fill my life with gladness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

Take away all my sadness, fill my life with gladness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

(Danny Whitten, 1970)

I can tell by your eyes that you've prob'bly been cryin' forever,
and the stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror.
I don't wanna talk about it, how you broke my heart.
but if I stay here just a little bit longer,
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, my heart?

If I stand all alone, will the shadow hide the colors of my heart;
blue for the tears, black for the night's fears.
The star in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror.
I don't wanna talk about it, how you broke my heart.
but if I stay here just a little bit longer,
if I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, my heart?
my heart, whoa my heart, this ol' heart.

I don't wanna talk about it, how you broke this old heart,
but if I stay here just a little bit longer,
if I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, my heart?
My heart, whoa, my heart.

Mm, your love is lifting me higher
Than I ever been lifted before.
Ooh, baby, keep it up, sweet baby.
Quench my desire,
And I'll be at your side forever more.
'Cause your love is liftin' me higher and higher.
Your love keeps on liftin' me, oh, higher, higher.

Now once I was down-hearted,
And disappointment was my closest friend.
But then you came,
And he soon departed.
And you know I never seen,
I haven't seen his face again!

Your love is liftin' me
Higher, higher, higher, higher.
Your love is liftin' me
Higher, higher, higher and higher.

Your love keeps liftin' me,
Keeps on liftin' me.
Your love keeps liftin' me
Higher, higher.

Your love keeps liftin' me,
Keeps on liftin' me.
Your love keeps liftin' me
Higher, higher.

So glad I finally found you, babe.
You're the best for these old arms.
With those sweet, sweet lovin' arms around me,
I tell you I don't need,
I don't need,
I-oh-I don't need no disguise, no!

Your love is liftin' me,
Keeps on liftin' me.
Your love keeps liftin' me
Higher, higher.

Your love keeps liftin' me,
Keeps on liftin' me.
Your love keeps liftin' me
Higher, higher.

Your love is liftin' me,
Whoa, higher, higher, higher, higher,
Higher, higher, higher, higher.
Gettin' higher, gettin' higher,
Gettin' higher, gettin' higher.
You lift me, you take me
Higher and higher.
Higher, higher, yeah, higher, higher!
Keeps on liftin' me.
Keeps on liftin' me.
Keeps on liftin' me.
Keeps on liftin' me.

Higher, higher, oh, higher, higher,
Higher, higher, higher, higher,
Higher, higher, higher,
Higher and higher...

(If you don't know me by now)
You will never, never, never know me, Whooooa

All the things that we've been through
You should understand me
Like I understand you
Now baby, I know the difference
Between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothin'
To upset our happy home
(Ooooooh) Oh, don't get so excited
When I come home a little late at night
'Cause we only act like children
When we argue fuss and fight

(If you don't know me by now)
If you don't know me by now
(You will never, never, never know me)
You will never, never, never know me, whooooa
(If you don't know me by now)
If you don't know me, baby
(You will never, never, never know me)
No you won't, ah-hey

We've all got our own funny moods
I've got mine
Woman you've got yours too
Just trust in me
Like I trust in you
As long as we've been together
That should be so easy to do
Just get yourself together
Or we might as well say goodbye
What good is a love affair
When you can't see eye to eye, ooooh

(If you don't know me by now)
If you don't
If you don't know me, baby
(You will never, never, never know me, Whooooa)
Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey-hey-hey
(If you don't know me by now)
If you don't know me by now
(You will never, never, never know me)
No you won't, ah-hey...

You're sweet as a honey bee
But like a honey bee stings
You've gone and left my heart in pain
All you left is our favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
It used to bring sweet memories
Of a tender love that used to be

Now it's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

A sentimental fool am I
To hear a old love song
And wanna cry
But the melody keeps haunting me
Reminding me how in love we used to be
Keep hearing the part that used to touch my heart
Saying together forever
Breaking up never

It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

Precious memories keep a lingering on
Every time I hear our favorite song
Now you're gone
Left this emptiness
I only reminisce
The happiness we spent
We used to dance on the music
Make romance through the music

It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

Each day through my window
I watch him as he passes by
I say to myself "what an incredible guy"

To have a love like that
Must surely be a dream come true
Out of all the women in the world
He belongs to only you

But it was just my imagination
Runnin' away with me
It was just my imagination
Runnin' away with me

Soon we'll be married
And raise a family
A cozy little home out in the country
With two kids or three

I tell you I can visualize it all
This couldn't be a dream
How real it all seems

Ohh but it was just my imagination
Once again runnin' away with me
Tell you it was just my imagination
Runnin' away with me

Every night on my knees I pray
Dear Lord hear my plea
Don't ever let another take his love from me
Or I will surely surely die

His love is heavenly
When his arms enfold me
I hear a tender rhapsody
But in reality he doesn't even know me

Just my imagination
Once again
Runnin' away with me
Ohh just my imagination
Runnin' away with me

It was just my imagination
Runnin' away with me
It was just my imagination
Runnin' away with me

Just my imagination
Runnin' away with me

I bless the day I found you,
I want to stay around you,
And so I beg you
Let it be me

Don't take this Heaven from on-e,
if you must cling to someone,
Now and forever, Let it be me

Each time we meet love,
I find complete love,
without your sweet love,
What would life be?

So never leave me lonely,
Tell me you'll love me,
on-ly and that you'llalways,
Let it be me

If for each bit of gladness,
someone must taste of sadness,
I'll bear the sorrow,
Let it be me

No matter what the price is,
I'll made the sacrifices,
Through each
tomorrow,
Let it be me

To you I'm praying hear,
what I'm saying ,
Please let your heart beat
for me just me

And never leave me lonely,
tell me you'll love me on-ly ,
And that you'll
always,
Let it be me

My Cherie Amour
lovely as a summer's day
My Cherie Amour
distant as the Milky Way
My Cherie Amour
pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl
my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine
In a cafe or sometimes on
a crowded street
I've been near you
but you never notice me
My Cherie Amour won't you tell me
how could you ignore
That behind that little smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine

Maybe someday you'll see my face
among the crowd
Maybe someday I'll share
your little distant cloud
Oh Cherie Amour
pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl
my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine

Hoverin' by my suitcase
Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
A heavy rain is fallin'
Seems I hear your voice callin' "it's all right"

Rainy night in Georgia
Rainy night in Georgia
I believe it's rainin' all over the world
I believe it's rainin' all over the world

Neon signs flashin'
Taxi cabs and buses passin' through the night
The distant moanin' of a train
Seems to play a sad refrain to the night

Rainy night in Georgia
Rainy night in Georgia
I believe it's rainin' all over the world
Seems like it's rainin' all over the world

How many times I've wondered
And it still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it or think of it
It's life and you just gotta play the game

I find me a place in a box car
So I take out this old guitar to pass some time
Late at night when it's hard to rest
I hold your picture to my chest and I'm alright

Rainy night in Georgia
Rainy night in Georgia
I believe it's rainin' all over the world
Yeah I believe it's rainin' all over the world
I believe it's rainin' all over the world and it's rainin' on me

People say I'm the life of the party 'cause I tell a joke or two,
although I might be a-laughing loud and hearty deep inside I'm blue.
So take a good look at my face you'll see my smile looks out of place.
If you look closer, it's easy to trace the tracks of my tears.
I need you need you.

Since you left me if you see me with another girl
seeming like I'm having fun, although she may be cute
she's just a substitute because you're the permanent one.
So take a good look at my face oh, you'll see my smile looks out of place.
A-look a little bit closer, it's easy to trace the tracks of my tears.
Oh I need you

Hey hey yeah (Outside) I'm masquerading
(Inside) my hope is fading; a
(Just a clown) oo yeah a since you put me down,
my smile is my make up I wear since my break up with you.
Baby take a good look at my face you'll see my smile looks out of place.
If you look closer, it's easy to trace the tracks of my tears.
I need you need you.

As I walk this land and broken dreams
I have visions of many things
Happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion

What becomes of the brokenhearted?
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind baby

The roots of love grow all around
But for me they come tumbling down
Everyday heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer

I walk in shadows searching for light
Cold and alone no comfort in sight
Hoping and praying for someone who cares
Always moving and going nowhere

What becomes of the brokenhearted?
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind help me please

I'm searching though I don't succeed
But someone look there's a growing need
All is lost there's no place for beginning
All that's left is an unhappy ending

What becomes of the brokenhearted?
Who had love that's now departed?
What become of the brokenhearted?
Who had love that's now departed?

What becomes of the brokenhearted?
And tell me what becomes of the brokenhearted?
Tell me tell me oh what becomes of the broken heart?
Tell me tell me tell me

Tell me what what becomes of the brokenhearted?
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind

I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone who cares

What becomes of the brokenhearted?
Who had love that's now departed?
What becomes of the brokenhearted?
Who had love that's now departed? Oh

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about the science book
I don't know much about the French I took

But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be

Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
I don't know what a slide rule is for

But I do know one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
What a wonderful world this would be

Now, I don't claim to be an A student
But I'm tryin' to be
For maybe by being an A student, baby
I can win your love for me

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about the science book
I don't know much about the French I took

But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be

But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be

But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be

My love
I'll never find the words my love
To tell you how I feel my love
Mere words could not explain

Precious love
You held my life within your hands
Created everything I am
You taught me how to live again

Only you cared when I needed a friend
Believed in me through thick and thin
This song is for you filled with gratitude and love

God bless you
You make me feel brand new
For god blessed me with you
You make me feel brand new
I sing this song 'cause you
Make me feel brand new

My love
Whenever I was insecure
You built me up and made me sure
You gave my pride back to me

Precious friend
With you I'll always have a friend
Someone who I can depend
To walk the path that sometimes bends

Without you life has no meaning or rhyme
Like notes to a song out of time
How can I repay you for having faith in me?

God bless you
You make me feel brand new
For god blessed me with you
You make me feel brand new
I sing this song 'cause you
You make me feel brand new
For god blessed me with you

You you oh yeah

I don't like you but I love you
Seems that I'm always thinking of you
Oh oh oh you treat me badly
I love you madly

You really got a hold on me
(you really got a hold on me)
You really got a hold on me
(you really got a hold on me)

Baby I don't want you but I need you
Don't want to kiss you but I need to
Oh oh oh you do me wrong now
My love is strong now

You really got a hold on me
(you really got a hold on me)
You really got a hold on me
(you really got a hold on me)

Baby I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me
(hold me)
Hold me
(hold me)
Hold me
(hold me)

Tighter
(tighter)

I want to leave you don't want to stay here
Don't want to spend another day here
Oh oh oh I want to split now
I just can't quit now

You really got a hold on me
(you really got a hold on me)
You really got a hold on me
(you really got a hold on me)

Baby I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me
(hold me)
Hold me
(hold me)
Hold me
(hold me)

You really got a hold on me
(you really got a hold on me)
Said you really got a hold on me
(you really got a hold on me)
Oh oh got a hold on me baby
(you really got a hold on me)

I am sailing I am sailing
나는 바다를 항해하네
Home again 'cross the sea
저 바다건너 평안의 고향으로
I am sailing stormy waters
하늘 높이 날아갑니다
거친 바다를 가르며 항해합니다
To be near you to be free
그대 곁을 향하여 자유를 찾아

I am flying I am flying
나는 창공을 가르는 새와 같이
Like a bird 'cross the sky
새와 같이 저 하늘 너머
I am flying passing high clouds
높은 구름을 스치며 날아 오릅니다.
To be with you to be free
그대와 함께 하러, 자유를 찾아

Can you hear me can you hear me
내 소리가 들리시나요
Through the dark night far away
저 멀리 어두운 밤하늘을 가로질러 오는
I am dying forever crying
마음이 너무나 애절하여 이렇게 통곡합니다
To be with you who can say
이 목소리를 그대와 함께하고 싶어서요
Can you hear me can you hear me
내 목소리가 들리시나요 들리시나요
Through the dark night far away
저 멀리 어두운 밤하늘을 가로질러 오는
I am dying forever crying
마음이 너무나 애절하여 이렇게 통곡합니다
To be with you who can say
이 소리를 그대와 함께하고 싶어서요

오 주여 자유를 향하여 그대 곁으로
Oh Lord to be near you to be free
오 주여 자유를 향하여 그대 곁으로

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it wouldn't last.
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass.

Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Jojo. Go home
Get back, get back.
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Back to where you once belonged.
Get back Jo.

Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her say she's got it coming
But she gets it while she can
Get back, get back.

Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Loretta. Go home
Get back, get back.

Wearing her high-heel shoes
And her low-neck sweater
Get on home Loretta
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.

I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And she's taken just all that I had
But if you want I'll try to love again
Baby I'll try to love again but I know

In these days of changing ways
so called liberated days
a story comes to mind of a friend of mine

Georgie boy was gay I guess
nothin' more or nothin' less
the kindest guy I ever knew

His mother's tears fell in vain
the afternoon George tried to explain
that he needed love like all the rest

Pa said there must be a mistake
how can my son not be straight
after all I've said and done for him

Leavin' home on a Greyhound bus
cast out by the ones he loves
A victim of these gay days it seems

Georgie went to New York town
where he quickly settled down
and soon became the toast of the great white way

Accepted by Manhattan's elite
in all the places that were chic
No party was complete without George

Along the boulevards he'd cruise
and all the old queens blew a fuse
Everybody loved Georgie boy

The last time I saw George alive
was in the summer of seventy-five
he said he was in love I said I'm pleased

George attended the opening night
of another Broadway hype
but split before the final curtain fell

Deciding to take a short cut home
arm in arm they meant no wrong
A gentle breeze blew down Fifth Avenue

Out of a darkened side street came
a New Jersey gang with just one aim
to roll some innocent passer-by
There ensued a fearful fight
screams rang out in the night
Georgie's head hit a sidewalk cornerstone

A leather kid, a switchblade knife
He did not intend to take his life
He just pushed his luck a little too far that night

The sight of blood dispersed the gang
A crowd gathered, the police came
An
