Listen to the ground,
there is movement all around,
there is something going down
and I can feel it.
 
On the waves of the air,
there is dancing out there.
If it’s something we can share,
we can steal it.
 
And the sweet city woman,
she moves through the light,
controlling my mind and my soul.
 
When you reach out for me, yeah,
and the feeling is bright.
 
Then I get night fever, night fever.
We know how to do it (oh).
Gimme that night fever, night fever.
We know how to show it.
 
Here I am,
praying for this moment to last,
living on the music so fine,
borne on the wind,
making it mine.
 
Night fever, night fever.
We know how to do it (oh).
Gimme that night fever, night fever.
We know how to show it.
 
In the heat of our love,
don’t need no help for us to make it.
Gimme just enough to take us to the morning.
 
I got fire in my mind.
I get higher in my walking.
And I’m glowing in the dark,
I give you warning.

Start spreadin’ the news, I’m leavin’ today
I want to be a part of it, New York, New York
These vagabond shoes are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it, New York, New York
 
I wanna wake up in a city that doesn’t sleep
And find I’m king of the hill, top of the heap
 
These little town blues are melting away
I’ll make a brand new start of it, in old New York
If I can  make it there, I’ll make it   anywhere
It’s up to you , New York, New York
New York, New York
 
I want to wake up in a city that never sleeps
And find I’m A-number-one, top of the list,
King of the hill, A-number-one
 
These little town blues   are melting away
I’m gonna make a brand new start of it  in old New York
And if I can make it there, I’m gonna make it anywhere

You said goodbye, I declared war on Spain.

But your throat is kind of dry.

An exception to the rule?

And I’m begging you to stay in my heart.
Whatever it takes to make you belong there.
 
I will never give up, never give up, never give up.

You’re my world,

I’ve never been alone
and I’ve only seen the sky.
Still I know the reason why
I’ve been thinking it over.
 
I’ve never climbed a tree,
but that’s natural for me.
And you don’t know my name,
so I’m thinking it over.
 
And every day I’m learning
the things that are concerning you and I.
And if you were beside me, you’d know what’s inside me,
so tell me why.
Give me inspiration to clear the situation
we’ve known too long.
And if we end up crying,
then one of us is lying, so tell me.
 
Never rode a plane
and I never will again.
So till then I’ll drink the rain
while I’m thinking it over.

Like a razor
I’ve been living on the edge.
Am I losing control?
I’ve been pushed above
the point of no return.
Under pressure I fell.

My will is bending
like steel.
This talk of danger
is real.

It’s not my nature
to be sweet anymore.
It’s just the nature
of the beast at your door.
It’s human nature
in the animal world.
(It’s human nature)
(It’s human nature)

I am not responsible
for things I can’t explain.
You know the night is like a zoo
in the jungle.
With your back against the wall.
Your love is precious to you.

The fever burning through me.
You free the spirit in me.

It’s not my nature
to be sweet anymore.
It’s just the nature
of the beast at your door.
It’s human nature
in the animal world.
(It’s human nature)

No, it’s not your style.
If you’re not here by me.
Then it’s not worth while.
 
My world is our world.
And this world is your world,
and your world is my world,
and my world is your world is mine.
 
I’ve been crying.
I’m lonely.
What do I do to have you stay?
I’ve needed you
to cry on.
I’ve written you nearly every day.
 
My world is our world.
And this world is your world,
and your world is my world,

Don’t shed a tear for me,

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I’ll say it clear
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain
I’ve lived a life that’s full
I traveled each and ev’ry highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
 
Regrets, I’ve had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
 
Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew
When I bit off  more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way
 
I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried
I’ve had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,
“Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way”
 
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has not
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!
Yes, it was my way.

In the history of a life takes a heart,
when the power of love comes together,
there ain’t nothing can tear us apart.
And the touch of your hand I can feel
that what we got is stronger than steel.
That’s when you hear..
.
..my lover’s prayer.
It’s my own silent message to you.
Takes me there, my lover’s prayer,
and my soul is divided in two.
 
With my love on the line
I send it all over the world,
out on the air.
‘Cause I can’t let go
and my heart has a mind of its own.
It’s my lover’s prayer.
 
It’s the mystery of a place blessed by us,
and the moment of truth is forever,
in the face of incredible odds.
And the look in your eyes tells me why.
Let our words burn a sign in the sky.
 
My lover’s prayer.
It’s as easy as talking to you.
All my life, having you there.
In my own private vision come true.
 
It’s heaven on Earth.
You’re the fire and all that I’m worth.
And I can be strong.
You hold the key.
Don’t say it’s over (don’t say it’s over).
Don’t say it’s over for me (don’t say it’s over).
 
My lover’s prayer (my lover’s prayer).
It’s as easy as talking to you (it’s easy, it’s easy).
All my life, having you there.
In my own private vision come true.
 
In my search for your love
I send it all over the world.
It’s all I can bare.
And the nights get long
but my heart holds on.
It’s no empty words.
 
My lover’s prayer (my lover’s prayer).
It’s my own silent message to you (message to you, message to).
Takes me there, my lover’s prayer (oh).
And my soul is divided in two.
‘Cause I can’t (can’t) let go (oh can’t).
And my heart has a mind of its own.
It’s my lover’s prayer.

I gave you something for nothing, my love.
This apparition of living your lie.
I had the power but you stole control, my love.
I need you close to me I can’t deny.
 
It’s your night world.
Places I’ve never known.
All of the wonders lay before me.
I pray this heaven never stops.
 
It’s your night world.
Things are revealed to me.
And all the arms cannot hold you.
 
I will see your face in the morning sunrise.
Hear your crying every lonely winter long.
I need your body and soul to get me through.
Holding me over you.
 
Don’t tell me that I came one love too late.
No other woman would I place so high above.
I’ll take the little that I get in return for
my eternal love.
 
When you’re lonely, do you cry, baby, cry.
What do they give you when the dream is not enough?
This is the hour and the candles are burning,
my eternal love, my eternal love.
 
I get to watch you when the moon is full.
Time to love you when the others are gone.
Though what I follow may be fictional,
I need to be with you or I may die.
      
In your night world,
doors that are open wide.
Then I can make my promise to you.
 
You will hear my voice in the mountain thunder.
Feel me loving you across the universe.
And when the pieces are whole,
there’s me and you, you and me eternally.
 
I may be broken but I try, baby, try.
Whatever gets you are the things that I must do.
I’d like to hit you with a little of my
eternal love for you.
 
I will be with you when my sweet baby cries.
You let me give you what the dream is worthy of.
This is the hour and the candles are burning,
my eternal love,
my eternal love,
my eternal love.
 
Don’t tell me that I came one love too late.
No other woman would I place so high above.
I’ll take the little that I get in return for
my eternal love.
 
I may be lonely but I’ll try, baby, try.
You let me give you what the dream is worthy of.
This is the hour and the candles are burning,

It’s a circle.
I believe in change for the better, girl.
Those ebony eyes.
Does love only seem to be satisfied?
 
And in a world that lives without it,
it makes the safest medicine.
And all the summer nights.
And you know that I know.
I dream about you and I won’t let go (oh baby).
 
And it’s been so long
and I can’t go on.
It’s my destiny
and I must be strong.
You know it’s all right
and it may be wrong.
My destiny
and I must go on.
 
Ooh, hold you ‘til the sun comes out.
Ooh, smother me.
I must be insane in love
to let you treat me like a fool.
 
Kinder to be cruel of you gotta lie.
By your side,
that’s the place to be seen
‘til the day I die.
 
Ooh, I did nothing to start it.
I’m just an aimless passenger.
And all the summer nights
I’ve been lost to the storm.
I dream about you
and it keeps me warm.
 
And it’s been so long
and I can’t go on .
It’s my destiny
and I must be strong.
You know it’s all right
and it may be wrong.
My destiny
and I must go on.
 
Make me tremble when I’m seeing you.
I’m born to live through the pain again.
I’m moving high and low.
I’m gonna get you but I don’t know when.
 
And it’s been so long
and I can’t go on.
It’s my destiny
and I must be strong.
You know it’s all right
and it may be wrong.
My destiny

    Talks about the cold on television,
Appetizing in the intermission.
Let’s go look. Glued to the screen,
There she is, so terribly clean.
I love her.

Mrs. Gillespie, you know how to sell me.
You made me blow my mind with things you tell me.
Let’s go look. Glued to the screen,
There she is, so terribly clean.
I love her.

Now she disappears back to the program.
I return to bed, feeling so low down.
Someone else is stealing my scene,
Fading away into a dream
About her.

But I can’t feel it so much
‘cause I am so out of touch
with my heart
and it won’t sing.
 
Rusty rainbows.
That’s how the pain goes,
turning me inside out.
Well, I come home at night
and you are out of my sight.
Yes, I’m dying and there ain’t no doubt.
Well, I’m dying and there’s no way out.
 
Well, I try, try, try, try, try
Mr. Natural (come on baby).
When I walk in the rain,
you won’t know that I’m crying.
A smile on my face and I’m trying…
 
I’m trying to understand
that a love that is lost
can never be found again.
 
And you can see me dance,
I look like a happy man.
 
Just when I think I’m getting it over,
an old friend I should see.
He said he knew you well,
and, baby, I could tell,
you know he knew you more than me.
 
I went home laughing
and inside I’m crying.
We had a special thing.
 
You know I love you so much,
but girl I’m so out of touch
with my heart
and it won’t sing.
You know my heart just won’t sing.
 
Well, I try, try, try, try, try.

When I walk in the rain
you won’t know that I’m crying.
A smile on my face and I’m trying…

Still I try, try, try, try, try.

 Most of my life
I’ve had to run away.
Life was a game
and I just had to play.
The friends that I thought I had were never there.
You look for love,
but you don’t know where.
And I’m in a race
that could be any place.
And when I was born,
my life had slowly worn.
The woman that I loved had slowly walked away.
I tried to smile but that was yesterday.
And most of my life
I’ve had to run away.
Life was a game
and I just had to play.
The friends that I thought I had were never there.
You look for love,
but you don’t know where.
And most of my life
I’ve had to run away.
Life was a game
and I just had to play.
The woman that I loved had sadly walked away.
I tried to smile but that was yesterday.
And most of my life
I’ve had to run away.
Life was a game
and I just had to play.
The friends that I thought I had were never there.
You look for love,
but you don’t know where.
Most of my life
and most of my life
and most of my life…

 In the morning when the moon is at its rest,
you will see me at the time I love the best,
watching rainbows, play on sunlight,
pools of water iced from cold night,in the morning.
‘Tis the morning of my life.
 
In the daytime I will meet you as before.
You will find me waiting by the ocean floor,
building castles in the shifting sands
in a world that no one understands,
in the morning.
‘Tis the morning of my life.
 
In the morning of my life
the minutes take so long to drift away.
Please be patient with your life,
it’s only morning and you’re still to live your day.
 
In the evening I will fly you to the moon,
to the top right hand corner of the ceiling in my room,
where we’ll stay until the sun shines,
another day to swing on clothe’s lines,
may I be yawning.
It is the morning of my life.
It is the morning of my life.
 
In the morning,…
