1. _ Goodbye To Love
I'll say goodbye to love
No one ever cared if i should live or die
Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by
And all i know of love is how to live without it
I just can't seem to find it
So i've made my mind up
I must live my life alone
And though it's not the easy way
I guess i've always know
I'd say goodbye to love
There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine
Surely time will lose these bitter memories
And i'll find that there is someone to believe in
And to live for something i could live for
All the years of useless search
Have finally reached an end
Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend
From this day love is forgotten
I'll go on as best i can
What lies in the future is a mystery to us all
No one can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls
There may come a time when i will see that i've been wrong
But for now this is my song
And it's goodbye to love
I'll say goodbye to love

2. _ Piano Picker
Everybody always ask me
How i got to play so fine
And friends, i'm gonna tell ya
It really did take some time
Yes, after years and years of practice
And a case of real bad knees
While the other guys were out playin' with the football
I was home bangin' on the keys
And it got me
(*) right where i am
This is me
Playing the piano
I hope ya like what i do
It's for you
And i'll try and sing right too
I guess i'm really very lucky
That i've got this thing to play
'cause it can really make me feel good
Even when it's cloudy and grey
Yes, after years and years of practice
And awful allergies that made me sneeze
And now the other guys are out playin' with their girlfriends
And i was still bangin' on the keys
And it got me

3. _ Road Ode
I've been on this lonely road so long
Does anybody know where it goes
I remember the last time
The signs pointed home a month ago
Rented cars and empty motel rooms
Lead you everywhere but home
Crowds of people shouting
How they love the show
They don't know
(*) the endless crowds of faces
Just keep on wearing a smile
The countless times and places lead me back
Please take me back home
(**) i wonder if these feelings ever change
How many times i'll lift this load
Come tomorrow i'll be gone again
Roads of sorrows coming to an end for me
Repeat (*)

4. _ Crystal Lullaby
Listen to the song he sings
Can't you see his music brings her
Crystal sleep
As her heavy eyelids fall
He's taking her to where the dolls
Rule the world
And in that land of make believe
Is where he'll leave her sleeping
Softly warm
In a crystal lullaby
He's weaving her a paper castle
Where dancing clowns with tassels made of fur
Welcome her into their world
That lives inside the dreams
Of every little girl
She's guarded by a brave tin soldier
Sitting on her shoulder
Taken there
In a crystal lullaby
Sometimes when i listen to
The velvet song that fills the summer afternoon
Something deep within me sighs
And wishes for the peaceful skies
Of long ago
(*) that wrapped my cares
In silver air
And carried them away
Leaving me ...
And a crystal lullaby
Repeat (*)

5. _ Top Of The World
Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most everything i see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And i won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything i want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that i've seen
(*) i'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation i can find
Is the love that i've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through i hope that i will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All i need will be mine if you are here
Repeat (*) twice

7. _ Hurting Each Other
No one in the world
Ever had a love as sweet as my love
For nowhere in the world
Could there be a boy as true as you love
All my love
I give gladly to you
All your love
You give gladly to me
Tell me why then
Oh why should it be that
(*) we go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why
Closer than the leaves
On a weepin' willow baby we are
Closer dear are we
Than the simple letters "a" and "b" are
All my life
I could love only you
All your life
You could love only me
Tell me why then
Oh why should it be that
Repeat (*)
(**) can't we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry
Breaking each other's heart
Tearing each other apart
Repeat (**)

8. _ A Song For You
I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs i've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and i'm singing this song for you
I know your image of me is what i hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darlin' can't you please see through me
Cause we're alone now and i'm singing this song for you
(*) you tought me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing
You came out in front and i was hiding
But now i'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
(**) i love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over remember when we were together
We were alone and i was singing this song for you
Repeat (*)
Repeat (**)
We were alone and i was singing this song for you

10. _ Bless The Beast And Children
Bless the beasts and the children
For in this world they have no voice
They have no choice
Bless the beasts and the children
For the world can never be
The world they see
(*) light their way
When the darkness surrounds them
Give them love
Let it shine all around them
(**) bless the beasts and the children
Give them shelter from a storm
Keep them safe
Keep them warm

11. _ I Won't Last A Day Without You
Day after day, i must face a world of strangers
Where i don't belong, i'm not that strong
It's nice to know that there's someone i can turn to
Who will always care, you're always there
(*) when there's no gettin' over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But i won't last a day without you
So many times when the city seems to be
Without a friendly face, a lonely place
It's nice to know that you'll be there if i need you
And you'll always smile, it's all worthwhile
Repeat (*)
Touch me and i end up singing
Trouble seems to up and disappear
You touch me with the love you're bringing
I can't really lose when you're near
When you're near, my love
If all my friends have forgotten half their promises they're not unkind, just
Hard to find
One look at you and i know
That i must learn to live without the rest
I've found the best
Repeat (*) twice

12. _ It's Going To Take Some Time
It's going to take some time this time
To get myself in shape
I really fell out-of line this time
I really missed the gate
The birds on the telephone line (next time)
Are cryin' out to me (next time)
And i won't be so blind next time
And i'll find some harmony
But it's going to take some time this time
And i can't make demands
But like the young trees in the wintertime
I'll learn how to bend
(*) after all the tears we've spent
How could we make amends
So it's one more round for experience
And i'm on the road again
And it's going to take some time this time
And i can't make demands
I'll learn how to bend
It's going to take some time this time
No matter what i've planned
But like the young trees in the wintertime
I'll learn how to bend
Repeat (*)
