T.e.v.i.n.

verse 1:

We were holding hands
In the park
We had to hurry home before it's dark
I can't wait to see your smile again
And i love the time we spend
I waited for the break of day to come
So i could see your smile in the sun
I guess i couldn't wait to get to school
To see your pretty face
I've got to stay cool
Break it down

Hook:

Girl don't leave me, don't leave me
Oohh, the natural way you receive me
Don't take this as an aggression
Girl i learned my lesson
Don't leave me, ooohhh
The natural way you receive me
Don't take this as an aggression
That's why

Chorus:

I just want to be alone with you
And there's nothing else
I'd rather do
Just to get the chance i had again
Just us two, til the end

Verse 2:

Now just the other night
On the phone
I tried to impress you with my tone
I've got to be for real
If you're my friend
Or you'll never call me back again

Chorus/fade out

You know I see her every day at school
And she always has such a nice smile
And for some reason

Verse 1:
Can you tell me where we're going to
Can you tell me what it is we really want to find
Is the truth really there or is it right under our hair
For all we know it's been there all the time

Chorus:
I say, nothin' comes from dreamers but dreams
I say, sittin' idle in our boat
While everyone else is down the stream
Nothin' comes from talkers but sound
We can talk all we want to
But the world still goes around and round
Round and round
We go round and round and round
And what we're lookin' for still isn't found

Chorus:

Verse 2:
Can you tell me when we gonna get to it
I'm tired of foolin' around i said i want to do it
I learned my lesson young i say, if you really want two have fun
Go for it and when you win, say "i go for it"

Bridge:
One day i'll make it in the big city
And i'll by lookin' for a girl who's pretty
On day i'll make a play and she will say ok
Cuz i plan to be a cool kitty

Chorus:

Hello my love
I heard a kiss from you
Red magic satin playing near, too
All through the morning rain i gave
The sun doesn't shine
Rainbows and waterfalls run through my mind

In the garden, i see (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
West purples shower bells and tea
Orange birds and river cousins (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Dressed in green

Pretty music i hear
So happy and loud (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Blue flowers echo
From a cherry cloud (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

Feel sunshine sparkle pink and blue
Playgrounds will laugh
If you try to ask, "is it cool?"
"is it cool?"

If you arrive and don't see me
I'm gonna be with my baby
I am free flying in her arms
Over the sea...

Stained window yellow candy screen
See speakers of kite (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
With velvet roses diggin' freedom flight (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

A present from you (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Strawberry letter 22
The music plays i sit in for a few (ah, ah, ah, ah...)

(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...)

<instrumental break>

(ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
(ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

A present from you (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Strawberry letter 22
The music plays i sit in for a few (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

A present from you (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Strawberry letter 22
The music plays i sit in for a few (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

over the rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that i heard of once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Someday i'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Way above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can i
