At the end of a rainbow,
you’ll find a pot of gold.
At the end of a story,
you’ll find it’s all been told.
But our love has a treasure our hearts always spend.
And it has a story without any end.
 
At the end of a river,
the water stops its flow.
At the end of a highway,
there’s no place you can go.
But just tell me you love and you are only mine.
And our love will go on till the end of time.

You better run just as fast as you can,

You did it to me and I’m taking a stand.
You’ve got a reason to cry.

You bought my love and I paid.
I’m not trying to make history.
You could have been good to me.

  Do, do, do, do…
The day your eyes meet mine
Now that will be a day
A million bells from miles around
Will start to play

 

I’ll take your hand
Side by side
We’ll walk the avenues
The day that our love comes true

The night your lips meet mine
Now that will be a night
A million violins will play
By candlelight

And we’ll renew
The love we knew
Until the end of time
The day that your eyes meet mine

Do, do, do, do…
Do, do, do, do…
Do, do, do, do…
Do, do, do, do…

And we’ll renew
The love we knew
Until the end of time
The day that your eyes meet mine

    When I was young I dreamed of you
Far and away my dreams come through
Now I know what love has done
Children of mine we all are one

 

When I was young I looked at you
You were the world I never knew
Through the years we all have grown
Knowing your love forever strong

Would you walk away if I raised my voice
Do you think I taught you well
Time after time after time

In younger days I felt for you
With all the pain that we went through
We believe the one above
Father and son forever love
Hand in hand the future is here
Now that we crossed the bridge of tears
Finding truth and facing fears
We can walk on the road is clear

Walk across the bridge
Take my hand
Walk across the bridge
Come to me

Would you walk away if I raised my voice
Do you think I taught you well
Time after time after time

Walk across the bridge
Come to me
Walk across the bridge

You’ll never be far away
You’ll never be far away
You’ll never be far away

That’s life (that’s life), that’s what all the people say
You’re ridin’ high in April, shot down in May
But I know I’m gonna change that tune
When I’m back on top, back on top in June
 
I said that’s life (that’s life), and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin’ on a dream
But I don’t let it, let it get me down
‘cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin’ around
 
I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I’ve been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself   flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race
 
That’s life (that’s life), I tell you I can’t deny it
I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart just ain’t gonna buy it
And if I didn’t think it was worth one single try
I’d jump right on a big bird and then I’d fly
 
I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I’ve been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself layin’ flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
 
That’s life (that’s life), that’s life and I can’t deny it
Many times I thought of cuttin’ out but my heart won’t buy it
But if there’s nothin’ shakin’ come this here July
I’m gonna roll myself up in a big ball a-and die
 
My, my!

There she was.
She dragged my heart around.
No desire to hurt you, girl.
I gave it all before I found
the damage had been done.
 
Burning love.
I was too weak to fight.
Searching fingers in the night.
I should have been a stronger man.
But I was overcome.
 
Someone can steal your dream.
You know love is blind.
I can’t lose you now
or I lose my mind.
 
Hold me like you know.
Stay inside my soul.
It’s my love and your love goes to show…
 
That’s right, that’s right.
You blame it on temptation.
It happens all the time.
 
That’s right, that’s right.
You blame it on temptation.
It happens all the time.
 
I was wrong,
so wrong to make you cry.
All your friends may tell you why
you and I should say goodbye
the way that people do.
 
Jealous words.
Don’t let them kill the flame.
I won’t let you forget my name.
And no one feels the same way
that I feel for you.
 
Live for you all my life.
Live your night and day.
With you on my side
I can’t lose my way.
 
I’ll be a shoulder for you,
be a man of steel.
That woman’s gone.
She was just a dream.
And you are real.
 
That’s right, that’s right.
You blame it on temptation.
It happens all the time.
 
That’s right, that’s right.
Only you can save me.
Save me from temptation eyes.
 
Live for you all my life.
Live your night and day.

I never thought in terms of growing old.
Nothing is ever as it seems.
But I’ll give you Panavision pictures
‘cause you give me technicolor dreams.

Up there, walking on air,
I’d like to show you how
I loved you way back then
as much as I need you now.

Some people like to send the world away,
some sunlight on some silver beams,
and I’ll give you Panavision pictures
‘cause you give me technicolor dreams.

Oh wow, look at us now,
all of our dreams fulfill.
I would implore you still
from under your windowsill.

Sometimes, I’d like to send the world away,
some sunlight on some silver beams,
so I’ll give you Panavision pictures
‘cause you give me technicolor dreams.

I started out to be the man behind the scenes
Knowing I was in above my head
For all that I could see I never saw the truth.
Now I’m alone.
 
Heaven only knows how much I’m missing you,
knowing I had heaven in my hands.
 
And there will be tears,
tears are mixed with rain.
Keeper of my flame.
 
Time and tide is on my side,
it stands forever.
There will be nights of love
and, yes, there will be tears.
 
I will not sleep tonight.
There will be tears tonight.
I will not sleep tonight.
There will be tears.
 
The silent telephone, the turning of the key.
You’re still inside of me, I’m not ashamed.
For all that I can do, I can’t forget your face.
I call your name.
 
Heaven only knows what I’ve been crying for,
what I’m crying for.
And all I’ve done to keep this love alive.
 
Even through my tears,
tears are mixed with rain.
Keeper of my flame.
 
I will pray you’re on my side,
we stand forever.
There will be nights of love
and, yes, there will be tears.
 
I will not sleep tonight (oh oh).
There will be tears tonight.
I will not sleep tonight (oh).
There will be.
 
Soon there will be tears
rolling down my world.

Come into my parlour
Sit around and talk to me
Just settle back, relax, have a cup of tea
Loosen your tie, take off your shoes
Go on and get rid of those worrying blues
And just talk, talk to me

Come into my parlour
Settle down and wear a smile
Just take it easy, living on the while
Light a cigarette, make yourself at home
If it rings, we won’t answer the phone
And just talk, talk to me

We don’t care if the weather outside is stormy
We don’t care if the hail comes tumbling down
Inside the house it’s cozy and it’s warmy
It’s nice to just hang around

Come into my parlour
Sit around and talk to me
Just settle back, relax, have a cup of tea
Loosen your tie, take off your shoes
Go on and get rid of those worrying blues
And just talk, talk to me
Just talk to me…

Take the short way home

You’ve been making up your mind
And I can save you from the trouble
that your heart is going through
And I can tell you what your
future’s gonna be
Maybe we can open up your eyes
Baby, you can’t leave me now

There is lightning in the city
Stranger than you ever saw
Get back to your special lover
And I won’t ever turn on you or tell you
You should tell me where you go

Just take the short way home
Baby, take care of yourself
In this world of evil
I can keep you to myself
Take the short way home
You’ll be safe her by my side
In this world of evil
I can keep you satisfied

And you can make it easy on yourself
Some other love may call my name when you’re away
And I’ll be gone
There’s no other who could ever love you more
Keep talking to myself when I’m alone
I don’t want to be alone

Crazy people in the shadows
Love is only what you find
Come back here and you’ll discover
There ain’t nothing you been searching for
I could not give you now if you were mine

Just take the short way home
Baby take care of yourself
In this world of evil
I can keep you to myself
Take the short way home
You’ll be safe her by my side
In this world of evil
I can keep you satisfied

Crazy people in the shadows
Love is only what you find
Come back here and you’ll discover
There ain’t nothing you been searching for
I could not give you now if you were mine

Must take the short way home
Baby take care of yourself
In this world of evil
I can keep you for myself
Take the short way home
You’ll be safe her by my side
In this world of evil
I can keep you satisfied

Take the short way home

I really, really wanna go home.
 
I dialed Oklahoma,
made attempts to phone her,
gave up when I got no reply.

I found Cincinatti,

she started to running.
I couldn’t really make her my wife.
