I wish I could take you with me
All the way to New York City We could get an apartment there Be closer to our families We can take my station wagon And fill it to the brim And wave goodbye to all our lovely friends Never to return again You could write for picture shows And I could get a job Waiting tables at a restaurant Where famous people like to go We could buy old overcoats And walk through the snow All the way around Central Park Our cheeks as pink as wild roses We could take the subway home And stare at our reflections In the window panes of the train And see how much New York has changed us |

Oh at night when I sleep
Oh the dreams come to me Make me believe that my life is not my own And if life were like my dreams All the things I would see I'd be so much braver than I know mmmmm No I can't understand What it means to be a man And to lead a woman from her home And if love were indeed All the things I believe Then I guess I would never feel alone mmmmm oh will I ever know? And if this city never sleeps Does that mean that noone dreams And if that's so Then I guess I'm going home |

Oh, tie me to the end of a kite
So I can go on, I can go on with my life Every marigold I pass below Will be my guiding light I just want to go away from here Oh, tie me to the end of a kite So I can go on, I can go on with my life Every time the wind blows stronger I will feel my spirit rise I just want to go away from here Oh, tie me up and tightly by your side So I may go with you where ever you reside Anytime the road looks dimmer I will be your guiding light I just want to go away with you I just want to go away with you |

New York is lovely in the winter time
All the sidewalks are white as snow The buildings, all the people that pass me by How the smile on his face says he's in love I took the train all the way to Brooklyn Heights I remember when you took it there with me We sat side by side and held hands for some time We saluted the Statue of Liberty I have much farther to go Everything is new and so unpredictable I should just kick my heels together and go home But I'm not sure where that is anymore Oh, how I wish I could go back in time To the night when I heard my mother cry She held me in her arms and we talked for some time And I sang a song her mother sang to her and it goes Something about paper dolls and what men prefer Something about the cross and how her Jesus died for her Something about love and how the truth fighting for I wonder does love like that exist anymore? And I, I have much farther to go And I, I'm so confused I know I should just kick my heels together and go home But I lost my way when I lost you Sometimes I cry when it's late at night And you're not there to lay next to me Morning breaks and the sun warms my face How I wish it was you warming me |

Tonight I'm like a paper doll
Dress me in what you wish I had on And I will not say a thing I'll just keep smiling Here I am, wordless again You dress me up different ways Flat and thin Speechless within You dress me up different ways And I just can't be sure I'll ever change And I do not like the clothes I wear I'd sooner throw them into the air But I will not say a thing I'll just keep smiling Here I am, wordless again You dress me up different ways Flat and thin Speechless within You dress me up different ways And I just can't be sure I'll ever change Why is it now You've cut me out Of everything I was used to Now it's not that I stand here with no choice I will choose now to raise up my voice Here I am, wordless again Wordless again And I just can't be sure I'll ever change Tonight I'm like a paper doll Cut from the page I once lived on And I will not say a thing I'll just keep smiling I'll just keep smiling I'll just keep smiling I'll just keep smiling |

If i just follow Would he hold me and never let me go Woulf he let me borrow his wool winter coat I don't know, I don't know If i see her standing there alone At the tain station, three stops from home I have half a mind to say what i'm thinking anyway But i don't know, I don't know There's an airpane in the sky With a banner right behind "Loneliness is just a crime" Look each other in the eye And say hello-o-o-o-o And sau hello-o-o-o-o hey there, How you doing?

These friends of mine live their lives
Spend their time, hoping to find But who they are and how they're made They may be there, hope you find your way These friends of mine, they have wife's They work hard to love and write And when they left, it makes me high To take a trip ten thousand miles before they fly These friends of mine, they feel alone When the shows are over, don't know where to go In Philadelphia at Christmas time They question those, wonder why they try And when the show is over How I hope that they discover the joy that they bring And I hope they remember this bond we have together And oh, they love to sing These friends of mine, they're from New York They were raised in Michigan They don't know things, they don't hold hands They guard their hearts the best they can And when the show is over How I hope they discover the joy that they bring And I hope they remember this bond we have together Oh, they love to sing, they sure love to sing Maybe I needed this time to be reminded for myself Maybe I needed this time to be reminded for myself How I love to sing |

Why waste your time?
There is nothing left Voices in your head tell you to do it No one will care No one will know Everyone just looks out for themselves It's so hard letting go Letting go of love It might cause some pain, I know But pain is all we've got Why waste more time? Time is all you have Be careful what you say they'll hold you to it No one will care No one will know Everyone feels sorry for themselves It's so hard letting go Letting go of love It might cause some pain, I know But pain is all you've got It may be the only way to know That you can get yourself back up |

Boy you said some pretty things
Then you close the door on me Then you left me wondering to myself Where does all the romance go Like we find in picture shows? Maybe I'm feeling sorry for myself And I know that time will tell Clear as a bell You were not the one I'm sure I'll convince myself To get over you Maybe it will come When the day is done I hope that you kick yourself Holding hands with someone else Then you realise that she's not the one Some day some boy will fall In love with all my flaws And he sure will be the lucky one And I know that time will tell Clear as a bell You were not the one I'm sure I'll convince myself To get over you Maybe it will come When the day is done And I know that time will tell Clear as a bell You were not the one I'm sure I'll convince myself To get over you Maybe it will come When the day is done |

I can't, I can't stop crying
Everyday I'm so afraid Afraid of dying Death already came and got me Cause I'm not living... I'm not living anyway... And who am i supposed to be? Everybody seems to see except for me Who cares anyway.... Cause when it's over, It's all over, and what you gain you throw away When will love ever find me? All my life all I've craved is to be seen Who cares anyway... Cause when it's over, All that matters is the love you gave away |

I'm still learning what love is, Every day I wake up in your arms. I'm still trying to figure out what works, How to set off all your alarms. I'm still learning what love is, When I'm walking close to you, The best way to hold your hand in mine, The best ways to comfort you. Guess it may Guess it may Guess it may Guess it may It may always be this way. I'm still learning what love is, Every time you look at me that way. I'm still trying to figure out just how, You can still look at me the same. Guess it may Guess it may Guess it may Guess it may It may always be this way. Even though I may not get it right all the time, I will always try and I will always stand right by your side. I'm still learning what love is, Every day I wake up in your arms. I'm still trying to figure out what works. Guess it may Guess it may Guess it may Guess it may Guess it may Guess it may It may always be this way. |

She's like a sweater, old and used
Tossed and overworn too many times through And she used to look so bright All her seams were tightly tied She's like a sweater that's just worn out Fading, coffee stained, and out of style And she's just about to run Before her stitches come undone She's gonna pack her bags & leave No more loose, unravelled seams She is young & she still has her confidence And it's not too late to tie up those loose ends She's like a fire in the rain His words will damp her eyes & heat her veins And the love she thought she found was just another Hand-me-down of dwindled grace She's gonna pack her bags & leave No more loose, unravelled seams She is young & she still has her confidence And it's not too late to tie up those loose ends She's found a refuge for her face While dividing her unfortunate displace Now she stands too high for them to ring her dry She's found her way She's gonna pack her bags & leave No more loose, unravelled seams She is young & she still has her confidence And it's not too late to tie up those loose ends |

I'm foolish and crazy I just think that maybe I've got a lot of things to figure out I'm winning I'm losing I'm afraid of never choosing this heart of mine was so beaten down before you came around |

He took me to the hillside
He liked to take me there He took me every Saturday He put flowers in my hair And we laughed like my mother said she once did With my father on his birthday when they went swimming And he took her hand into his And he told her that he loved her And his words held meaning, then How do we make these moments last? And, how do we get them to stay? When everything passes and time goes away He took me to the theater He liked to take me there He took me every Saturday We didn't talk in there And we laughed like my mother said she once did With her sister on her birthday when she was seventeen They took her car out for a spin Along the ocean with the top down And life held meaning then How do we make these moments last? How do we get them to stay? When everything passes and time goes away And how do we make these moments last? And, how do we get them to stay? When everything passes and time goes away |

How am I supposed to know what love is really like,
When, I've never even been in love before? Aren't you supposed to love yourself before You can understand how to love someone after all? How can I find a way to keep my mother safe From the boogie man who hides under the stairs? How can I find a way to take this breath away When he's gently sleeping soundly next to her? Oh how? Oh how? Oh how? Oh how can I save her? How am I to live this life when the only certainty Is that death is waiting for me at the end? And every day that passes I know time is running out And I fear that I may fail the life I've been given Oh how? Oh how? Tell me how? Oh how am I supposed to live? How am I to define what faith is to a child When the only explanation lies within? How am I to tell them if they never follow Christ That heaven doesn't hold a place for them? Oh how? Oh how?

Knowing you has made me able to go on. You and me Me and you There couldn't be a better two, To be blessed and know the meaning of true love.

Oh Lorraine Looks like tears again But they'll never get you far Things are just the way they are So let it go and say you tried One last goodbye Oh Lorraine Oh Lorraine So much life left in your veins What goods a heart if it's unclaimed Can nothing ever stay the same Why do good friends go away No more turnpikes New York street lights No more plane flights for Lorraine Oh Lorraine Oh Lorraine Mother warned you of such things Love can give and take away Peoples words can rearrange With so much left to say |

Make her a flower in late December
When the sun is not shining on her Write her a love song and play it all day long To remind her of all that she is worth Never never leave her Take her on long drives for ice-cream by sea sides And give her your coat when she is cold Tell her you miss her when you're close enough to kiss her And that you'd walk a thousand miles to tell her so But never never leave her Take photographs of her on Brooklyn street in October When her nervous smile is slightly curved Some days when she is slightly down tell her it's okay to frown It makes you just fall more in love with her But never never leave her |

So much for love
I guess I've been wronged But it's all right cuz I'm moving on I've got my car all packed with cassette tapes and Sweaters and loose change and cheap cigarettes and I'm gonna drive through the hills Put my hand out the window and Sing till I run out of words I'm gonna stop at every truck stop Make small talk with waiters and truck drivin' men I'm gonna fall asleep in the back seat With no one around but me and my friends It's gonna be so grand It's gonna be just like my wedding day Yeah I've had enough of love It feels good to give up So good to be good to myself and I'm gonna get on the highway with no destination And plenty of vision in mind and I'm gonna drive to the ocean Go skinny dipping Blow kisses to Venus and Mars I'm gonna stop at every bar and Flirt with the cowboys in front their girlfriends It's gonna be so grand It's gonna be just like my wedding day So much for love I guess I've been wronged But it's all right cuz I'm moving on I'm gonna drive over hills Over mountains and canyons And boys that keep bringin' me down I'm gonna drive under skyline and sunshine Drink good wine in vineyards And get asked to dance I'm gonna be carefree and let nothing pass me by Never ever again It's gonna be so grand It's gonna be so grand It's gonna be just like my wedding day |
