Bang, Bang The Early Years

When i look up from my pillow
I dream you are there with me
Though you are far away
I know you always be near to me

Chorus:
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me

I look around me and feel
That you are ever so close to me
Those tears that fall from my eyes
Bring back memories of you and me

Chorus

I was wrong, i was right
I will love you till the day i die
You alone, you alone and no one else
You were meant for me

When morning comes once more
I have the loneliness you left me
Each day drags by until night
Finally descends on me

Chorus

Now i ain't lookin'
To compete with you
Beat on, cheat on, mistreat you
Simplify you, classify you
Deny, defy, mystify you

Chorus:
All i really want to do
Is baby, be friends with you
Baby, be friends with you

Now i ain't lookin'
To fight with you
Frighten you or uptight you
Drag you down or drain you down
Chain you down or bring you down

Chorus

I ain't lookin' to block you up
Dock or rock or lock you up
Analyze you, categorize you
Finalize or advertise you

Chorus

I don't want to straight- face you up
Race or chase or track or trace you
Or disgrace you or displace you
Or define you or confine you

Chorus

Now i don't want to meet your kin
Make you spin or do you in
Or select you or dissect you
Or inspect you or reject you

Chorus

What's it all about, alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it
Out, alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give
Or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, alfie,
Then i guess it's wise to be cruel.
And if life belongs only to the strong,
Alfie,
What will you lend on an old golden
Rule?
As sure as i believe there's a heaven
Above, alfie,
I know there's something much more,
Something even non-believers can
Believe in.
I believe in love, alfie.
Without true love we just exist, alfie.
Until you find the love you've missed
You're nothing, alfie.
When you walk let your heart lead the
Way
And you'll find love any day, alfie,
Alfie.

Bang bang, you shot me down
Bang bang, i hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

I was five and you were six
We rode on horses made of sticks
I wore black, you wore white
You would always win the fight

Bang bang, you shot me down
Bang bang, i hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

Seasons came and changed the time
I grew up, i called you mine
You would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play

Bang bang, you shot me down
Bang bang, i hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang
After echoes from a gun
We both vowed that we'd be one
Now you're gone i don't know why
Sometimes i cry
You didn't say goodbye
You didn't take the time to lie

Bang bang, you shot me down
Bang bang, i hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

You might wake up some morning
To the sound of something moving
Pass your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'd met the fleeting glimpse
Of someone's fading shadows

Out on a new horizon
You may see the boat in motion
Of a distant carib wind
And if you need press your ear
You might hear footsteps running
Through an open meadow

Chorus:
Do be so concern it will not harm you
It's only mistress doing something
I'm not sure of
Cross my dreams with myths and wonders
I'll take the brightest elusive butterfly of love

You might have heard my footsteps echo softly
Through the distant, from canyons of your mind
I might have even called your name
As i ran safely after something to believe in

You might have see me running
Through the long abandon ruins
Of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something
They're the brightest path to follow close
I remember dreaming

Chorus

(somthing's in the air)
I feel something in the air
Something that was never there
I feel something started to live in me
Something only god could give to me
Could give to me

Chorus:
I feel magic every where
Even though i'm supposed to care
About all the things that my neighbors
Will think of me and how i should act
When they said what a nice girl
I used to be, i used to be

My mom will say my god what've you done
I told you that boy was only a fun
My daddy will raise like a storm on the sea
Say now look what you've done to me
Even though i care, i feel magic in the air

What's a matter with you baby
Did you fall too hard when you fall in love
You fall in love
What's a matter with you baby
Did you fall too hard

Chorus

Saw him today
I saw his face, it was the face i love
And i knew i had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That they go away but still they begin

Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears i gotta hide
Hey i thought i was smart
I'd won his heart
I didn't think i'd lose
But i see she worst to him than me
Let him go ahead take her love instead
And one day he will see
Just how to say please

Wow and get down on his knees
That's how it begins
Hurtin' him hurtin' him
Why can't i stop and tell myself
It's wrong so wrong
Why can't i stand up
Tell myself to be strong

Because i saw him today
I saw his face it was the face i love
I can't let go, although i know
He'll make me cry until the day i die

But people i got to live now
Wow lord knows i should forgive now
That's how they begin
You'll feel those needles and pins

Somebody stop'em now
Stop those needles and pins
Somebody take'em away now
Stop those needles and pins
(repeat and fade)

Chorus:
Mama when my dollies have babies
And i am a big lady
Mama will a prince come and take me away

When i said these things i believed in kings
Then i didn't know love could hurt me so
Slowly she replied, tears had filled her eyes
Baby not so fast let your young life last

Chorus

I sang to her in fun, my teens had just began
My age was not the same still we played the game
Her eyes were filled with pride and slowly she replied
Soon enough you'll be a very pretty bride

Chorus

Mama, will the hurt go away deep inside
When i sang this song
My poor world had gone along
All my early dreams has turned to crystal streams
My love it was last and more tears have past
And left me just one thing a tender voice i sing

Chorus

Better sit down kids
I'll tell you why, kids
You might not understand, kids
But give it a try, kids
Now how should i put this
I've got something to say
You mother is staying
But i'm going away
No, we're not mad, kids
It's hard to say why
Your mother and i
Don't see eye to eye


Say your prayers before you go to bed
Make sure you get yourself to school on
Time
I know you'll do the things your mother
Asks
She's gonna need you most to stay in
Line
Keep in mind your mother's gonna need
Your help a whole lot more than she
Ever did before
No more fights over little things
Because
I won't be here to stop them anymore

I know you don't want this, neither do
We
But sometimes things happen
That we can't foresee
Now try to be calm, kids
And don't look so sad
Just cause i am leaving
I'll still be your dad
Just remember i love you
And though i'm not here
Just call if you need me
And i'll always be near
(repeat chorus)

Well, i have to go now
So kiss me goodbye
My eyes are just red, kids
I'm too big to cry
