1. _ And This I Find Is Beautiful
I believe that every thought
That anyone has ever thought
Somehow lingers in the air
And that in time, it lands somewhere
And this part will live again
In someone's heart, in someone's mind
And this I find is beautiful
And this I find is beautiful
I believe no star is lost
Though it may tumble from the sky
And I believe no tear is lost
When it runs down from your eye
When man returns to Earth,
The dreams he dreams will never die
And this I find is beautiful
And this I find is beautiful
And all the love I give to you,
These words of love I say to you
Will live through snow and sun and rain
In a thousand years, they'll still remain
To touch someone, someone
'Cause I believe that every thought
That anyone has ever thought
Somehow lingers in the air
And this I find is beautiful
And this I find is beautiful
And this I find is beautiful

2. _ The Morning After
There's got to be a morning after If we can hold on through the night We have a chance to find the sunshine Let's keep on looking for the light Oh, can't you see the morning after? It's waiting right outside the storm Why don't we cross the bridge together And find a place that's safe and warm? It's not too late, we should be giving Only with love can we climb It's not too late, not while we're living Let's put our hands out in time There's got to be a morning after We're moving closer to the shore I know we'll be there by tomorrow And we'll escape the darkness We won't be searching anymore There's got to be a morning after (There's got to be a morning after) There's got to be a morning after (There's got to be a morning after) There's got to be a morning after (There's got to be a morning after) There's got to be a morning after (There's got to be a morning after) (repeat and fade out) more free lyrics |
3. _ Darlene
She comes home from work every night,
Sits in her apartment hoping the phone would ring,
Ends up staying home to watch TV,
Makes excuses for herself she can't begin to believe,
Someone's bound to call tomorrow night, just wait and see
Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?
When're you gonna learn you simply can't give your heart away?
Face it now, you're not 16
You've been hurt inside enough to know what the price of love can be
And things can get hard to explain
Like when your little daughter asks where her daddy's gone
And you can't bear to put her on
She's all that you have got, so do the best you can
When she's old enough, you hope that she will understand
Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?
Why is it love just seems to pass you by?
Finally, I hope you'll see
They've been taking you for granted and you just can't let that be
Putting trust into
Guys who don't deserve the time of day
If you only knew
He'll take what he can get from you
Then, like the rest, he'll leave you too
It's the same old story
And maybe you'll find someone new
Who'll move in your apartment and can't stand to sleep alone
And you've convinced yourself he's all your own
When he stayed in one place long enough, then it's time to go
I'd hate to be the one to say I told you so
Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?
When're you gonna learn you simply can't give your heart away?
Face it now, you're not 16
You've been hurt inside enough to know what the price of love can be
Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?
(Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?)
Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?
(Whatcha gonna do, Darlene?)

4. _ Don't Try to Close a Rose
They say that everything you do
Turns out all wrong
And that you're bound to lose
But you love me too much
To take me along
Don't ever try to close a rose
After it's bloomed to the tune
Of a spring-time day
It won't work anyway
'Cause once it knows the sun, it grows
And keeps on growin'
Knowin' it must say goodbye
To the field and the sky
So, don't you worry about me
You could never make me unhappy
'Cause we've both been touched
By the spring-time sun
We've already won
As long as you want me,
I'll be right there
Even with a life full of hard times,
We've got a love
That we can share
Don't ever try to close a rose
After it's bloomed to the tune
Of a spring-time day
It won't work anyway
'Cause once it knows the sun, it grows
And keeps on growin'
Knowin' it must say goodbye
To the field and the sky
Don't ever try to close a rose
After it's bloomed to the tune
Of a spring-time day
It won't work anyway

5. _ Can't You Hear the Song
Everybody knows, everybody knows
The many times you've been in love before me
Everybody smiles, everybody smiles
There's got to be another kind of story
Everybody knows how I feel about you
Everybody knows, everyone but you
Can't you hear the song that I'm singin'?
Can't you hear the words that I'm bringin'?
Ode to you this time
I laid on the line
I need you to be mine
Can't you hear a heart when it's breakin'?
Can't you see the sense when I'm makin'?
Take a look around
And tell me what you found
When you hear the sound
Can't you hear the song that I'm singin'?
Won't you take the hand that I'm givin'?
I'm just talkin' of
A simple song of love,
One that won't go wrong
Can't you hear the song?
Everybody knows, everybody knows
I'm runnin' round a circle tryin' to find you
Will you ever learn, will you ever learn
The one you really need is right behind you?
Everybody knows I've been gettin' nowhere
That's the way it goes when all I want is you
Can't you hear the song that I'm singin'?
Can't you hear the words that I'm bringin'?
Ode to you this time
I laid on the line
I need you to be mine
Can't you hear the song that I'm singin'?
Won't you take the hand that I'm givin'?
I'm just talkin' of
A simple song of love,
One that won't go wrong
Can't you hear the song?
Everybody knows I've been gettin' nowhere
That's the way it goes when all I want is you

6. _ Midnight Storm
There are flowers and fables
And old town picnic tables
And oil's warm, cozy fires
Burning up a midnight storm
The December rains are snowing
But out, your love got us blowing
When I come to see you
Burning up a midnight storm
Burning up a midnight storm
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
Oh, how it feels to see you smile
And how it feels just to know you
Like teddy bears and wishing wells
That's how it feels to know you
That's how it feels to know you
Songs of love are still from one to one
Like late-night whispers, they're never done
But only written to show I care and I'm
Burning up a midnight storm
Burning up a midnight storm
Burning up a midnight storm
(Burning up a midnight storm)

7. _ Until It's Time for You to Go
You're not a dream, you're not an angel
You're a man
I'm not a queen, I'm a woman
Take my hand
We'll make a space in the lives
That we'd planned
And here we'll stay
Until it's time for you to go
Yes, we're different worlds apart
We're not the same
We laughed and played at the start
Like in a game
You could have stayed outside my heart
But in you came
And here you'll stay
Until it's time for you to go
Don't ask why of me
Don't ask how
Don't ask forever
Love me, love me now
This love of mine had no beginning
It has no end
I was an oak, now I'm a willow
I can bend
And though I'll never in my life
See you again
Still, I'll stay
Until it's time for you to go

8. _ It Might as Well Stay Monday (From Now On)
Here it is again, Monday mornin'
And I've really got the blues
But it don't much matter, I've got no need to smile
And I don't think I will for quite a while
It might as well stay Monday from now on
'Cause it seems that the only one I've ever loved is gone
And it just might as well stay Monday from now on
Go away, Mr. Sun, I can't use you
Brighten someone else's life
Let the darkness hide me and carry off my pain
There's nothin' you can do to make things change
It might as well stay Monday from now on
'Cause it seems that the only one I've ever loved is gone
And it just might as well stay Monday from now on
BREAK
Let the darkness hide me and carry off my pain
There's nothin' you can do, nothin' you can do,
Nothin' you can do to make things change
So, it might as well stay Monday from now on
'Cause it seems that the only one I've ever loved is gone

9. _ If I Wrote You a Song
What if I wrote you a song,
Some music from me to you?
What if I spelled you some words?
Would it ever mean much to you?
If red and yellow flowers bloomed in the snow
And I picked a love boquet for you,
Would you spring-time smile and take me back
Or would you winter-time frown and be through?
And sure as the rain comes down
And sure as the bird is free,
If, baby, your love's not around,
Then the wind can blow my life from me
La la la la la
La la la la la la la la
How 'bout if I learned a picture to paint
That colored out my love for you
And you found it was a magical kind
Made from flowers and sky and dew?
Would you spring-time smile and take me back
Or would you winter-time frown and be through?
And sure as the rain comes down
And sure as the bird is free,
If, baby, your love's not around,
Then the wind can blow my life from me
What if I wrote you a song,
Some music from me to you?
What if I spelled you some words?
Would it ever mean much to you?
Mean much to you
La la la la la
La la la la la la la la la

10. _ I Won't Last a Day Without You
Day after day, I must face the 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
CHORUS:
When there's no getting 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,
It's 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
CHORUS
Touch me and I end up singin'
Troubles seem to up and disappear
You touch me with the love you're bringin'
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 could learn to live
Without the rest
I've found the best
CHORUS
(repeat and fade out)
