1. _ In A Country Churchyard (let Your Love Shine On)
In a country churchyard there's a preacher with his people
Gathered all around to join a man and woman,
Spring is here and turtle doves are singing from the steeple,
Bees are in the flowers, growing in the graveyard,
And over the hill, where the river meets the mill,
A lovely girl is coming down
To give her hand upon her wedding day.
Dressed in simple white and wearing flowers in her hair,
Music as she walks slowly to the altar,
And picking up his bible then the preacher turns towards her,
"will you take this man to be your wedded husband,
To honour and love in the eyes of god above,
Now let the peoble sing with me
These words to live forever in your heart...
Let your love shine on
For we are the stars in the sky,
Let your love shine strong
Until the day you fly away"
Many years have fallen on that golden country morning,
The graveyard's overgrown, the church lies in ruins,
Ivy on the walls and ravens wheeling round above me
As i made my way towards the last remaining headstone,
I fell to my knees, read the lines beneath the leaves,
And suddenly it seemed to me
I heard the words like singing in the trees...
Let your love shine on
For we are the stars in the sky,
Let your love shine strong
Until the day you fly...
Let your love shine on
For we are the stars in the sky,
Let your love shine strong
Until the day you fly...
Fly away...

2. _ Perfect Day
Oh lord, i'm tired, it's time to go to bed,
Way, after midnight, and the wine's gone to my head,
Lying here upon the shore just listening to the waves,
And it's been a perfect day.
Packed up a picnic and set off for the sea,
Taking all the back roads where no-one else would be,
My and you and paul and sue,
How we laughed the time away,
And we had a perfect day.
I brought along my old guitar,
And lying there beneath the stars,
We sang all the beatle songs we knew,
Lord you should have heard those harmonies,
When we did nowhere man and let it be...
My love, if we should break up,
Should we ever part,
And you're searching for some memory,
To help your aching heart,
Forget about the hurtful things,
That lovers often say,
And remember this perfect day.
Then people start coming around the fire,
And i was strumming at my old guitar,
Trying to think of something everybody knew,
And then you said "though it's far away,
A christmas song would really make my day."
And everbody sang...
And all i really want to do,
Is sing songs for you,
Then it's been a perfect day,
Yes it's been a perfect day.

3. _ Brazil
Ooh, next time i see you, i'll be singing in brazil,
Misty land of music where the feet are never still,
And pretty senhoritas dressed up for the kill,
They'll be glad that you're coming to brazil, yeah, me too,
So glad that you're coming to brazil...
Ooh, next thing you know you're out here dancing in the streets,
Working with the people on that boss-a-nova beat,
And some dark-eyed lady brings you wine and a chicken wing,
In brazil where the carnival is king, yes,
Brazil where the carnival is king, everbody's singing,
Ah la la brazil,
Ah la la brazil,
Ah la la brazil,
Ah la la brazil,
Ooh, rio de janeiro is the kind of place for me,
Dancing in the moonlight, making love down by the sea,
From copacabana to the corcovado hill,
Everybody's always singing in brazil,
Yeah, everybody's, ooh singing, in brazil,
All together now...
Ah la la brazil...
Cancao du brazil...
(song of brazil)
Tudo beum brazil...
(all's well in brazil)
Ah la la brazil...

4. _ Discovery
Lady love, go back to sleep,
Dry the tears from your eyes,
But i cannot stay with thee
Until the morning,
For the dawn is breaking,
And my ship is waiting for me,
And i must go,
But i'll be back, yes,
Before this year is over;
So we sailed across the sea,
Till we found america,
'round the cape of storms
We set our sails for home,
And when the sea was roaring
And the lord i called
To help my drowning men,
I saw the light, yes, the candle in your window...
And i have brought you silver,
And i have brought you gold,
And spices from the indies in the hold;
I've seen ships on the horizon,
That i'd swear were going down,
But now i know for certain,
The world is round,
I have seen, my eyes have seen.
One day says galileo,
A man will reach the sky,
And see the world completely,
From outside,
And gazing down from younder,
On a world of blue and green,
He'll say with eyes of wonder,
I have seen, i have seen,
My eyes have seen.
I have seen,
My eyes have seen.

5. _ Broken Wings
These broken wings can take me no further,
I'm lost, and out at sea,
I thought these wings would hold me forever,
And on to eternity,
And far away i can hear your voice,
I can hear it in the silence of the morning,
But these broken wings have let me down,
They can't even carry me home.
In broken dreams that keep me from sleeping,
I remember all the things i said,
Well i've broken all the promises,
I said i would be keeping,
They're gone, like leaves they fell,
For it's so hard when you're far away,
All i needed was a shoulder i could cry on,
Now these broken dreams have woken me,
My love, will you carry me home.
Or will you treat me like some traveller,
On a dark and lonely road,
Who sees a light and a woman who will give him love,
Oh and just when she reaches the part,
When she's supposed to comfort his broken heart,
She turns away, and sends him travelling on, on,
Oh when i left i believed that nothing would go wrong,
I thought the whole world would be waiting for my story,
Take me back, my love, i need you now,
Come back and carry me home,
Take me back and heal these broken wings,
Come back and carry me home.

6. _ A Rainy Night In Paris
It's a rainy night in paris,
And the harbour lights are low.
He must leave his love in paris
Before the winter snow;
On a lonely street in paris
He held her close to say,
"we'll meet again in paris
When there are flowers on the champs-elysees."
"how long" she said "how long,
And will your love be strong,
When you're across the sea,
Will your heart remember me?..."
Then she gave him words to turn to,
When the winter nights were long,
"nous serons encore amoureux
Avec les couleurs du printemps..."
"and then" she said "and then,
Our love will grow again."
Ah but in her eyes he sees
Her words of love are only words to please...
And now the lights of paris
Grow dim and fade away,
And i know by the light of paris
I will never see her again...

7. _ Round And Around
Ooh, give me freedom and light, give me reason and right,
All i need's a little time to get by,
Turn my face to the wind, hear the nightingale sing,
And wonder at the stars in the sky,
So many things i don't know, so many ways i won't go,
So many secrets that will never be found,
But as long as you're with me with loving to give me,
We can watch the world going round...
Ooh, around and around and around and around,
Everything in the world goes around,
Yes around and around and around and around,
And around, everything goes around...
From the moment of birth till you go back to the earth,
Your life is like a circle of gold,
And everything you begin, every song that you sing,
Sooner or later must go...
Another time, another place, another life, another face,
Oh my love i know i'll see you again,
And the circle that starts with the beat of your heart,
Takes you back to the beginning again...
Oh around and around...
Everything in the world goes around,
Oh around and around...
Everything goes around,
Yes around and around...
Oh around and around...
Everything in the world goes around...
Round and around, round and around, round and around...

8. _ I Will
I'm going to an island,
Where the sun will always shine,
Where the moon is always riding on the sea;
And when i go i'll leave behind,
These chains that hold me down,
The time has come to set my spirit free,
Ah, ah ... i will
And there beside a mountain stream,
I'll build a house of stone,
And work the wood of cedar, pine and fir,
And then i'll make a garden,
And i'll plant a field of corn,
Press my hands deep into mother earth,
Ah, ah ... i will,
Yes i will,
Oh i will,
Just to be a part of nature once again,
I want to be a part of nature once again,
And i will...
And then i'll teach my children love,
Like every father should,
For we are part of every living thing,
And speak of half-forgotten words,
Like peace and joy and good,
For the world can only live when love can sing,
Ah, ah ... i will,
Oh, yes i will,
I will,
And they will be a part of nature once again,
Oh they will feel a part of nature once again,
The time is now,
Just to be a part of nature once again,
And i will, ah ah, someday i will, (someday i will)

9. _ Summer Rain
Old man walking by the sea is dreaming,
Dreaming of the days when he was young,
Hand in hand, a little boy beside him,
Hearing about the weekends under the sun...
"ah most of all i remember,
A little song we used to play,
It was about the english weather,
Always raining on a sunny day, and it went
Ah la la la, summer rain is pouring down again,
And it's getting wetter,
As a matter of fact it couldn't be better,
For baby and me, sitting on my knees, (with baby on my knee)
Ah la la la, summer rain is falling down,
On my umbrella above me,
The very first time she said she loved me,
Was in the summer rain, and it's fine with me...
Walking with your
Great-grandfather's daughter,
Somehow we were always late for tea,
And small boys making mischief in the water,
Watching deck-chairs floating away out to sea,
Ah but now the memory's fading,
How the past just slips away,
But every time that it starts raining,
I can hear the band begin to play,
Ah la la la, summer rain is pouring down again,
And it's getting wetter,
As a matter of fact it couldn't be better,
For baby and me, sitting on my knees, (with baby on my knee)
Ah la la la, summer rain is falling down,
On my umbrella above me, (above me)
The very first time she said she loved me,
Was in the summer rain, and it's fine with me, me, la la la
Summer rain is fine with me...
Ah la la la, summer rain is pouring down again,
And it's getting wetter,
As a matter of fact it couldn't be better,
For baby and me, sitting on my knees, (with baby on my knee)
Ah la la la..."

10. _ If You Really Love Her, Let Her Go
Please give me one more chance,
I'm begging you, just one more chance,
If you'll listen...
This is not some movie romance,
Or everlasting love at a glance,
Won't you listen...
She is a part of me now,
She's the very heart of me now, so...
If you really love her, let her go.
She's your daughter and i know that you care,
But like a lost bird in the cold night air,
She is lonely...
Thinking back to the days you were young,
When the pain of loving was so very strong,
Weren't you lonely?
She is no longer a child,
She's a woman with love in her eyes, so...
If you really love her, let her go.
Oh she is like a bird,
Yearning for the winter wind,
If you let her go,
She'll come again in springtime,
But if you make her stay,
And hold her freedom in your hand,
In the morning you will wake,
And she'll be gone away...
She is no longer a child,
She's a woman with my love in her eyes, so...
If you really love her, let her go,
If you really love her, let her go,
If you really love her, let her go...
