Although the things you've done I wouldn't criticize. I guess you had your way. You see I gotta make you understand. I know it sounds a foolish thing to say. But it don't matter baby 'cos' today's another day.
*You shine a little love on my life You shine a little love on my life You shine a little love on my life and let me see.
Remember,tonight we're gonna run till dawn Remember,tonight we're gonna say. We'll never stop we got a good thing goin' on. I know you've heard it all before. But I really need you darlin' every day I need you more.
*Repeat
Can you understand.(Yes I understand) Can you feel it's right. (I know it is) Will you be the same.(I'll do it all again).
It's been a year now and it's getting so much better. You came home without a word. Though everybody said you'll soon forget her. Thay couldn't see and they just didn't understand. And lookin' in the mirror there were fools at either hand.
Can you understand.(Yes I understand) Can you feel it's right. (I know it is) Will you be the same.(I'll do it all again).
How many days had I been waiting there to tell you. I really can't believe. We're walkin' out into the world tonight. We'll do it all again until the break of light. And the feelin' in your heart will soon be shinin' in your eyes
Whatever I do,where-ever I go,the same afterglow Is keepin' me low,don't wanna lose it, But don't wanna stay here too long.
They see you go by,I tell you no lie, You're up in the sky,make everyone cry, Don't wanna lose it,but don't wanna stay around here.
*I'm on the run again But it's like what they say when it happens this way You gotta do it again and again.
I hear them talkin' and they go on and on,they think that Nothing is wrong,and so they just carry on about you, Don't wanna lose it,but I gotta move out of here.
I see them waiting there for most of the day,I known You asked them to stay but they just won't go away. Don't wanna lose it,but I gotta do it again.
*Repeat
I know it ain't real,but when you are near, You're saying the things that I wanna hear. Don't wanna lose it,but I gotta do it again.
I came along to see your face, But the only thing I got from you, was telling me it's fantasy, That you would always be with me, I can tell you that's it's true, I'm waiting here, but it's alright, It's alright with me, you better believe me now.
I guess it's like a mountain side, You've got to climb it to the top, Floating in a sea of dreams, The only thing that you can see, Is the view above the clouds.
I'm waiting here, but it's alright, Still it's alright with me, You better believe me now.
Sailin' away on the crest of a wave It's like magic Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' & slidin' It's magic
CHORUS And you, and your sweet desire, You took me, higher and higher It's a livin' thing, It's a terrible thing to lose It's a given thing What a terrible thing to lose.
Making believe this is what you've conceived From your worst day, Moving in line when you look back in time To your first day
CHORUS -- repeat
Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide Floating downstream, So let her go don't start spoiling the show It's a bad dream
Two drifters on the morning sky, Two drifters sailing wide and high, When summer breezes blow across your mind, With you, I will walk the line.
CHORUS I want it so fine I want it so fine I want it so fine
People walking hand in hand, Everybody's singing to the band, I want to be where the stars shine bright, And hear sweet music on a summer night.
CHORUS repeat
Sundowners we'll go on and on, We'll find the land of the midnight sun, And when you look you'll see for miles around, You'll see, the world is in your hand.
For may days we travelled from a distant place and time, To reach a place they call the planet Earth, There was to be a celebration, On the mission of the sacred heart. The planet Earth from way up there is beautiful and blue And floating softly through a rainbow, But when you touch down things look different here, At the mission of the sacred heart. CHORUS Watching all the days roll by Who are you and who am I? On a dirty worn-out sidewalk, sits a mother with a baby, In her vale of tears she sees no rainbow And someone's singing from a window In the mission of the sacred heart. CHORUS repeat There's a building on a corner, in a city, in a land, On a place they call the planet Earth, My orders are to sit here and watch the world go by, From the mission of the sacred heart. CHORUS repeat
Just got back from the downtown palais Where the music was so sweet It knocked me right back in the alley I'm ready, yea, yea, yea, I'm ready, Wo, wo, wo, I'm ready And I'm really gonna rock tonight.
Sweet little lady sings like a songbird And she sings the opera like you ain't never heard, But she ain't ready, No, no, no, she ain't ready No, no, no, she ain't ready, And she ain't gonna rock & roll
CHORUS She's sweet on Wagner, I think she'd die for Beethoven, She loves the way Puccini lays down a tune, And Verdi's always creeping from her room
Come on I'll show you how to sing the blues Now baby, come on over you got nothin' to lose, Are you ready, hey, hey, hey are you ready Ooh, ooh, ooh, are you ready I wanna show you how to rock and roll.
Now listen here baby she, said to me Just, meet me at the opera house at a quarter to three, 'Cos I'm ready, yea, yea, yea, I'm ready, Woo, hoo, hoo, I'm ready, I'm gonna show you how to sing the blues.
CHORUS repeat
Far, far away the music is playing.
Well we were reelin' and a rockin' all through the night, Yea we were rockin' at the opera house until the break of light, And the orchestra were playin' all Chuck Berry's greatest tunes. And the singers in the chorus all got off on singing blues, And as the night grew older everybody was As one, The people on the streets came runnin' in to join in song Just to hear the opera singer singin' rock & roll so pure, I thought I saw the mayor there but I wasn't really sure, But it's alright
Hellohow are you Have you been alright, through all those lonely nights, That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything, If you'd pick up that telephone.
Heyhow you feelin' Are you still the same Don't you realize the things we did were all for real not a dream, I just can't believe They've all faded out of view.
I look into the sky And I wonder why
CHORUS Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
O.K. so noone's answering, Well can't you just let it ring a little longer I'll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night Let it ring for evermore.
They say some days you're gonna win, They say some days you're gonna lose. I tell you I got news for you Your losin' all the time you never win If you believe that's how it's gonna be I'd better put you down Get off your tightrope up there come down on The ground you gotta save me now, You better turn around. When I looked around, I was heading down. Won't somebody throw me down a line.
They say some days you gotta give They say some days you gotta take If that's the way it's gotta be, Roll it over and you will see. The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time. The change from night to day is really only hours, It's just along the line can't you see the sign When I looked around, I was heading down, Won't somebody throw me down a line.
I want to look you straight in the eye, I want to tell you how I really feel, I can feel the wheels turnin' round, Won't somebody throw me down a line The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time, The change from night to day is really only hours It's just along the line, can't you see the sign When I closed my eyes, I was so surprised Somebody had thrown me down the linestopped me drownin
