I Am Sam

(lennon/mccartney)

I need somebody (help)
Not just anybody (help)
You know i need someone (help)

When i was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days are gone
I'm not so self assured
Now i find i've changed my mind
I've opened up the doors

Help me if you can, i'm feeling down
And i do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me

And now my life hand changed in oh, so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now and then i feel so insecure
I know that i just need you like
I've never done before

Help me if you can, i'm feeling down
And i do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me

When i was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days are gone
I'm not so self assured
Now i find i've changed my mind
I've opened up the doors

Help me if you can, i'm feeling down
And i do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me, me, me, oo

When i wake up early in the morning,
Lift my head, i'm still yawning
When i'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream

Please don't wake me, no
Don't shake me
Leave me where i am
I'm only sleeping

Everybody seems to think i'm lazy
I don't mind, i think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed
Till they find, there's no need

Please don't spoil my day
I'm miles away
And after all
I'm only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time

Lying there and staring at the ceiling
Waiting for a sleepy feeling

Please don't spoil my day
I'm miles away
And after all
I'm only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time

When i wake up early in the morning,
Lift my head, i'm still yawning
When i'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream

Please don't wake me, no
Don't shake me
Leave me where i am
I'm only sleeping

(lennon/mccartney)

Born a poor young country boy
Mother nature's son
All day long i'm sitting
Singing songs for every one

Sit beside a mountain stream
See her waters rise
Listen to the pretty
Sound of music as she flies
Tu tu tu, tu, du tu

Find me in my field of grass
Mother nature's son
Swaying daisies sing
A lazy song beneath the sun
Tu tu, yeah yeah yeah

Ooo
Ooo
Ah, mother nature's son

(lennon/mccartney)

Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone's hard earned pay
You and me sunday driving
Not arriving on our way back home
We're on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're going home

Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters on my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

You and i have memories
Longer than the road
That stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing solo in the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere on our way back home
We're on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're going home

You and i have memories
Longer than the road
That stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing solo in the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere on our way back home
We're on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're going home
We're going home

(lennon/mccartney)

When i find myself in times of trouble
Mother mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right it front of me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer
Let it be
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Yeah, there will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow
Let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
There will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
There will be an answer
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

(lennon/mccartney)

He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere man, the world is at your command

He's as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere man, can you see me at all
Nowhere man don't worry
Take your time, don't hurry
Leave it all till somebody else
Lends you a hand
Ah, la, la, la, la

Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere man, the world is at your command
Ah, la, la, la, la

He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

I'm looking through you
Where did you go
I thought i knew you
What did i know
You don't look different
But you have changed
I'm looking through you
You're not the same

Your lips are moving
I cannot hear
You voice is soothing
But the words aren't clear
You don't sound different
I've learned the game
I'm looking through you
You're not the same

Why, tell me why
Did you not treat me right
Love has a nasty habit
Of disappearing overnight

You're thinking of me
The same old way
You were above me
But not today
The only difference
Is you're down there
I'm looking though you
And you're nowhere

Why, tell me why
Did you not treat me right
Love has a nasty habit
Of disappearing overnight

I'm looking through you
Where did you go
I thought i knew you
What did i know
You don't look different
But you have changed
I'm looking through you
You're not the same
Yeah, oh, baby you've changed
Aah, i'm looking through you
Yeah, i'm looking through you
You've changed, you've changed
You've changed, you've changed

(lennon/mccartney)

Picture yourself on a boat in a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds, ah

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high

Newspaper taxies appear on the shores
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds, ah

Picture yourself in a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds, ah
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds, ah
