The warden threw a party in the county jail.
The prison band was there and they began to wail.
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing.
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.

Spider murphy played the tenor saxophone,
Little joe was blowin' on the slide trombone.
The drummer boy from illinois went crash, boom, bang,
The whole rhythm section was the purple gang.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.


Number forty-seven said to number three:
"you're the cutest jailbird i ever did see.
I sure would be delighted with your company,
Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.


The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone.
The warden said, "hey, buddy, don't you be no square.
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.


Shifty henry said to bugs, "for heaven's sake,
No one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break."
Bugsy turned to shifty and he said, "nix nix,
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.

I was standing in the moonlight
With my heart in my hands
Life had taken me full circle
And i was meant to love again
Playing all or nothing
I'd given up on love, yeah
Just when i thought
I'd never fall in love again
The bough of my heart opened
And you walked in
With those......

Chorus:
Forever eyes, looking right at me
Now i find myself believing
Love will always be
In your forever eyes
Never say good-bye
'cause i only want to lose myself
In your forever eyes


There were times you'd see right through me
I'm a child in your hands
But the moment that you touch me
You set fire to this man
Burning inspiration
That's what i feel right now
Waves of emotion carry me along
Your love is like a river
Going on and on
In your....


Chorus:


Forever eyes


Chorus:

There's two things i know for sure,
She was sent here from heaven,
And she's daddy's little girl.
As i drop to my knees by her bed at night,
She talks to jesus and i close my eyes.
And i thank god for all < of >the joy in my life,
But most of all, for...

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair.
"walk beside the pony daddy,
Its my first ride."
"i know the cake looks funny,
Daddy, but i sure tried."
Oh, with all that i've done wrong,
I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning
And butterfly kisses at night.

Sweet sixteen today,
She's looking like her momma
A little more every day.
One part woman, the other part girl.
To perfume and makeup,
From ribbons and curls.
Trying her wings out in a great
Big world. but i remember...

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair.
"you know how much i love you daddy,
But if you don't mind,
I'm only going to kiss you on
The cheek this time."
With all that i've done wrong,
I must have done something right.
To deserve her love every morning,
And butterfly kisses at night.

All the precious time
Like the wind, the years go by
Precious butterfly
Spread your wings and fly

She'll change her name today.
She'll make a promise,
And i'll give her away.
Standing in the bride room
Just staring at her,
She asked me what i'm thinking,
And i said "i'm not sure,
I just feel like l'm losing my baby girl."
Then she leaned over...and gave me...
Butterfly kisses, with her mama there
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair
"walk me down the aisle daddy, its just about time"
"does my wedding gown look pretty daddy?"
"daddy don't cry "
With all that i've done wrong, i must have
Done something right
To deserve her love every morning
And butterfly kisses
I couldn't ask god for more, man, this is
What love is
I know i've gotta let her go, but i'll always remember
Every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses...

All day long i hear the telephone ring
Friends calling, giving their advice
From the one i love, i should break away
Those heartaches, you'll bring me one day, oh

I listened to my friends' advice
But it's not gonna happen twice
All advice ever brought my way
Were many long and sleepless nights


Chorus:
Got you back in my arms again
Right by my side
I got you right back in my arms again
So satisfied


So easy for others to say, that i should let you go
They don't know how strong my love is
But i sure can't get along


It's time i live my life for me
Being happier than i ever knew i'd been
And each time we make romance
I'm thankful for a second chance


Chorus:


All day long i hear the telephone ring
Friends calling, giving their advice
From the one i love, i should break away
Those heartaches you'll bring me one day


I listened to my friends advice
But it's not gonna happen twice
All advice ever brought my way
Were many long and sleepless nights


Chorus:

Gotta get close to me, gotta let love inside
Gotta get into my arms
And listen to the voice of my heart
Oh ooh ooh

Searchin' my soul, searchin' for somethin'
To find a way to make you believe, yeah
And what can i say, words don't mean nothin'
Oh, what can i do, to prove what i'm feelin' for you
Oh, i could promise you love eternally
Swear you mean the world to me
Tell you over and over, get down on my knees
To hold you and make you believe


Chorus
Gotta get close to you, gotta let love inside
Gotta get into my arms, and listen to the voice of my heart
Baby, the only way you'll know the sound inside my soul
Gotta get close to me, and listen to the voice of my heart


Look into my eyes, don't look behind you
Let me take you where heaven is waiting
Right here in my arms, yeah
I promise this time, real love will find you
Oh, what can i do, to just make this one thing come true
Oh, i would take your heart, into my hands
Shelter you, make you understand
Tell you over and over, you're all that i need
To hold you and make you believe


Chorus


Talkin' 'bout some deep emotion
You'll find it when you look in my eyes
Lookin' for some real emotion
Come into my life, come into my arms
Come closer, come closer
It don't mean a thing until i can make you believe


Gotta get close to me, gotta let love inside
Gotta get into my arms
And listen to the voice of my heart


Chorus


(listen to the voice of my heart) baby
(listen to the voice of my heart)
Gotta get close to me, gotta let love inside
Baby, get close to me

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then i watch 'em roll away again
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide, roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Left my home in georgia
Headed for the frisco bay
I had nothin' to live for
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time


Looks like nothin's gonna change
Everything, everything remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So i guess i'll just remain the same


I'm sittin' here restin' my bones
Two thousand miles, i roam
Just to make this dock my home
I'm just gonna sit, on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Don't look back
Don't be scared
We've got dreams and we're still young
Just think about how far we've come
Think of all
We have shared
It's a wonder we survive
But here we are and we're alive!
Can we hold on, hold on?
Take a moment to celebrate
Now before we are gone
Take a moment to celebrate
There's music in the wind
Let's dance one more time
There's a rhythm deep within
Let's dance one more time

(chorus)


One more time
Sing the song
There's a power in our voices
Hopeful and strong


Years from now
Somewhere down the line
We'll remember and we'll all sing
One more time


(zulu chant)
See cel la bo lay la
(trans.we will sing.)

Lonely fear lights up the sky
Can't help but wonder why
You're so far away
There, you had to take a stand
In someone else's land
Life can be so strange

I wish we never had to choose
To either win or lose
We could find a way
But i won't turn my back again
You're only around the bend
So hurry home till then...till then


Chorus:
Stand tall, stand tall
Voices that care are crying out loud
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright


Hurry home


I'm not here to justify the cause
Or to count up all the loss
That's all been done before


Just can't let ya feel alone
When there's so much love at home
We send it out to you
(michaels' solo)
All the courage that you've known
The bravery you've shown
Clearly lights the way


We pray, to make the future bright
To make the wrong things right
Right or wrong
We're all prayin' you remain strong
That's why we're all here and singin' along


Chorus:


(michaels' solo) voices that care are cryin' out loud, yeah
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright


You are the voice, you are the light


Chorus:


Stand tall, stand tall
(michael) stand proud
Voices that care are crying out loud
They're crying out loud
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright


Stand tall, stand tall
Voices that care are crying out loud
Ooh, and when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright
You are the voice and the guiding light
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright

All of this time
I've been tellin' myself the truth
I love you
And that's the easiest thing to do, yeah
How do i describe
How ya turn my world around
Ain't no wonder why those words
Are those ones i've never found
Oh girl, there's so much i mean to say
And i'll keep tryin'
Till i finally find a way

Chorus
When we make love
Heart to heart
Speak from our souls
We come shinin' through the dark
We reach the stars
Still by far the deepest part
Is (are) the moment(s) when the tears begin to fall
When there really are no words
That's when we say it all

And how many times when you're lyin' close to me
Have ya shown me baby
How much in life don't really mean a thing
All that matters and in all the world remain
Is your love and all ya mean to say
And then hey baby, the heaven in your eyes
Is all i see that means everything to me

Chorus
There's a power in the silence
Where the truth is just too much
There's a place of pure emotion
Words were never meant to touch

Chorus
When there are no words
That's when we say it
'cause there are no words
When we say it
There are no words
