Ah….
Lord bless all.
Lord let all be blessed.
And when you sleep.
London streets are silent.
All the world is full of song.
And when you have woken,
after dawn has broken.
Snow filled fens will vaguely fill your eyes.
You’ll be guided by good will.
Now the bells in your town are ringing.
Far away the joy of carols singing.
Bringing all a song to share.
Lord bless all.
Lord let all be blessed
And when you sleep.
London streets are silent.

Loose Talk Costs Lives

Loose talk costs lives.
People like to play.
We’re basically the same.
We never lie.
Loose talk costs lives.

Don’t look at me as if you don’t remember me at all.
There was laughter, there was pain.
But I won’t make the same mistakes I made.
You are too beautiful to me.
I hide my tears inside the rain.

Am I the soul you cast your spell upon?
I had control and now it’s gone.
Or are you someone who controls my heart and mind?
And I will never say a word.
And I will never say goodbye.

Loose talk (loose talk) costs lives (costs lives).
People like to play.
We’re basically the same.
We never lie.
Loose talk (loose talk) costs lives (costs lives).

I can see that someone hung a sign around your heart.
And it reads “do not return”.
And there is so much trouble I could cause.
Someone as beautiful as you.
You can feel my candle burn.

And I still recall some starry night.
We had it all, we held on tight.
I promised I would come to you and catch you if you fall.
And they will never know about us.
For just one moment you were mine.

Loose talk (loose talk) costs lives (costs lives).
People like to play.
We’re basically the same.
We never lie.
Loose talk (loose talk) costs lives (costs lives).

For just one moment, just one moment, you were mine.
Loose talk (loose talk) costs lives (costs lives).
(Our moment held in time)
People like to play.
We’re basically the same.
We never lie.
Loose talk (loose talk) costs lives (costs lives).

Loose talk (loose talk) costs lives (costs lives).
People like to play.
We’re basically the same.

Baby, you told me your life is wrong
and there’s no sense in seeing it through
But I’ve got my eyes open all the time
And I’ve been waiting for you

Don’t try to tell me it’s over
You can’t believe it yourself
Just put your hand on my shoulder
And dry all your tears, take your heart off the shelf
‘Cause it’s a long life and well worth the living
You still got your heart and it’s well worth the giving
Give yourself to me
Just you and me

I’m just a guy from outside your world
And there’s no words that I can say
But I’ve got a feeling that you’re the girl
to take all my love and just run away

Don’t try to tell me it’s over
You can’t believe it yourself
Just put your hand on my shoulder
And dry all your tears, take your heart off the shelf
‘Cause it’s a long life and well worth the living
You still got your heart and it’s well worth the giving
Give yourself to me
Just you and me

Don’t try to tell me it’s over
You can’t believe it yourself
Just put your hand on my shoulder
And dry all your tears, take your heart off the shelf
‘Cause it’s a long life and well worth the living
You still got your heart and it’s well worth the giving
Give yourself to me
Just you and me

‘Cause it’s a long life and well worth the living
A long life and well worth the living
It’s a long life

Now the summer’s gone,
And the winter’s coming on,
And I wait for you,
But I know that you have gone away from me,
And I know, yes I know
It’s gonna be a lonely winter.

Just to walk alone,
And leave all the love we’ve known.
Autumn leaves will fall.
Wish winter would only call you back to me.
And I know, yes I know
It’s gonna be a lonely winter.

It, I know, could be a very long time.
I can’t make your love mine,
Mine and mine alone.
But I know that I can’t make you love me,
I can’t make you want me,
Till the winter’s gone.

Leaves begin to fall,
And the trees begin to bare.
Then I wait for you,
But I know that you’re not here.
You’ve gone away.
And I know, yes I know
It’s gonna be a lonely winter.

the music plays
so nonchalant.
 
Lonely days, lonely nights.
Where would I be without my woman?
Lonely days, lonely nights.

    Tell you why

    his kiss is sweeter than an apple pie.

    And when he does his shaky rocking dance,

    man, I haven’t got a chance.

    I call him

    lollipop, lollipop,

    oh lolli lolli lolli,

    lollipop lollipop…

    Sweeter than candy on a stick,

    Huckleberry, chimry or lime.

    If you had a choice,

    he’d be your pick,

    but lollipop is mine

    Lollipop, lollipop,

    oh lolli lolli lolli,

    lollipop lollipop…

    Crazy way he thrills me.

    Tell you why.

    Just like a lightning from the sky.

    He loves to kiss me till I can’t see straight.

    Gee, my lollipop is great.

    I call him

You been teaching me a lesson that I never learnt.
You never make it through a lifetime without being burnt.
Everything I ever thought you were you turned out to be
since you gave your love to me.

When I met you on a Monday
my life has stood still.
I belong to every moment that your love can fill.
Let me be the only heart you mend,
turn out the light and take it right to the end.

Living with you,
in the madness of my mind,
in a world I could not find,
but you knew what to do.
Living with you,
there’s a full moon on the rise,
there’s a fire in your eyes
and I was born to be…

Loving you under my skin.
You’re everything to me.
I could not love you more.
And you know that you are mine.
And that’s what I’m living for.

There will never be a question of somebody new.
I could make it through a lifetime with someone like you.
Let me be the only heart you mend,
turn out the light and take it right to the end.

Living with you,
in the madness of my mind,
in a world I could not find
but you knew what to do.
Living with you,
there’s a full moon on the rise,
there’s a fire in your eyes
and I was born to be living with you

Why ain’t we living together,

Why ain’t we living together,

I lay my heart on you
and you can show the way.
I give my everlasting love
until my dying day.
 
Take this lonely soul,
the water or the wine,
a chance to make you mine.
I lay my body on the line.

My life was emptiness
until you came along.
I nearly fell apart,
you took my heart and made me strong.
 
And I need all of you
to get me through the night.
A chance to see the light.
I lay my body on the line.

If you’re happy and marching forward in your band,
holding hands together, I will understand.
In my life I’m together on my own,
with my own private eggshell, and my phone.
 
If your mind is in the darkness, could you know?
If it suits you to be fast or far too slow,
will you show me someone who may treat me kind?
Or is this world I live in just a frame of mind?
 
If you’re living in Chicago, it’s your home.
If you’re living in Chicago, you’re alone.
 
If you’re happy living down on the ground,
where the crippled and the blind alone can see.
I got a feeling God is still around.
And if I’m right, there must be more than this to see.
If your mind is in the darkness, could you know?
If it suits you to be fast or far too slow,
will you show me someone who may treat me kind?
Or is this world I live in just a frame of mind?
And as soon as you discover where you’re going,
can I walk along the way, along the way?
I’m lonesome and I need somebody knowing
just a few nice words to get me through the day.
If your mind is in the darkness, could you know? (could you know)
If it suits you to be fast or far too slow,
and will you show me someone who may treat me kind?
Or is this world just a frame of mind?
 
If you’re living in Chicago, it’s your home.
If you’re living in Chicago, you’re alone.
If you’re living in Chicago, it’s your home.
If you’re living in Chicago, you’re alone.
 
If you’re living in Chicago, you’re alone. (la, la, la…)
If you’re living in Chicago, it’s your home.

I heard an angel call.
I kissed a girl from India,

If men are men and mice are blind,
they’ll never see the sun.
And if the sun should go away,
I’ll find another one.
 
Oh what am I (There’s no simple answer)
Oh what am I now (Love is just a mystery)
Oh what am I (No one lives forever)
Oh what am I now (You’ll go down in history)
 
Living in another world, whoa, whoa,
living in another world, oh, oh.
 
I’m gonna change your life tonight,
a secret destiny.
I’m slipping in the twilight zone,
where everything is free.
 
We got the planes, the factories,
the strength of Hercules.
I’m living like a superstar
upon the silver screen.
 
Oh what am I (Universal person)

Would you believe me if I told you your tomorrow is my yesterday?
But be alive.
I know that we will,
the world keeps on moving but I’m holding still.
 
In the beginning, I was far away and praying for my destiny,
that would arrive,
the moment you’re born,
for we will be here when the miracle comes.
 
Living eyes,
when under the sun don’t cry,
no war in my mind,
the state of my heart.
Living eyes,
when out in the rain will fall,
the day I deny the face of my love.
 
We are of age, we are in time,
we are forever,
right now when the power is mine.
I leave you heaven and the earth,
I leave you never,
and living to love is the reason we shine.
 
Well, I been over, I’ve been under,
I don’t own a dream to analyse,
but living eyes,
you know that I do
believe in the soul and the magic of you.
 
Living eyes,
when under the sun don’t cry,
no war in my mind,
the state of my heart.
Living eyes,

We are of age, we are in time,

Take one breath, one fundamental sign of life.
Don’t look back, don’t analyze the tears you cry.
 
Only the strong survive the silent sacrifice,
and I, I will be your heart of steel but power has a price.
Ain’t it time that you believe in someone,
ain’t it wrong to let the years go by
standing face to face forever live or die.
 
Hold me like a child, I’m not alive until you do,
what you hold in your hand is a miracle
and it’s dead if I don’t have you.
 
Hold me like a child, and swear you never let me go.
You’re the eye of the storm, the reason I laugh or cry,
live or die, I will stay with you.
 
Take one breath, one fundamental sign of life.
No bad blood, no pain can make you draw the knife.
 
Ah, We got a world of trouble but I will never change,
and even if we fall tomorrow, we will rise again.
Now is the time we show each other, these are the words I kept inside
standing face to face forever live of die.
 
Hold me like a child, I’m not alive until you do.
What you hold in your hand is a miracle
and it’s dead if I don’t have you.
 
Hold me like a child and swear you never let me go.
You’re the eye of the storm, the reason I laugh or cry,

live or die, I will stay with you.
 
Take one breath, one fundamental sign of life.
Don’t look back, we love each other live or die.
 
Hold me like a child, I’m not alive until you do.

If I don’t see her each day I miss her
Gee, what a thrill each time I kiss her
I’ve got a terrible case
On little girl with the laughin’ face

She takes the winter and makes it summer
But summer could take some lessons from her
Picture a tomboy in lace
That’s little girl with the laughin’ face

Have you ever heard mission bells ringin’?
Well, she’ll give you the very same glow
When she speaks you would think it was singin’
Just hear her say “hello”

I swear to goodness you can’t resist her
Sorry for you, she has no sister
No angel could replace
little girl with the laughin’ face

Keep Betty Grable, Lamour, and Turner
She makes my heart a charcoal burner
It’s heaven when I embrace
My little girl with the laughin’ face

‘Cause when your old and grey
You’ll still feel the way you do today
And nothing’s gonna change

Little boy, now you’re growing older
You’ll need a shoulder to guide you through
And you find when you fall in love
You know you’ll cry just the way that I do

Don’t you know there’s a little girl to love
That’s what makes the world go ‘round
But when you’re old and grey
You’ll still think the way you do today
And nothing’s gonna change

Little boy, with your face so pretty now
What are you doing in my town
Little boy, do you have a mother now
Are you planning on settling down

Lion in my winter.
I’m a lion with no crown.

You wanna make me big man,
a star on a screen,
some kind of James Brown,
or something in between.

But when I look for money
you smother me in charms.
I can’t live on glory
when you’re bending both my arms.

I, I was a lion in winter.
And, man, I had friends
for miles around.
I was a lion in my winter.
What good’s a lion, lord,
without a crown?

You’re living in a cave, man,
upon your marble throne.
You think you own the heavens,
but you’ve got to be alone.

You know, you know I prayed for sunshine,
a woman with my name.
I don’t want to live, man,
you gave away the game.

I, I was a lion in winter.
And, man, I had friends
for miles around.
I was a lion in my winter.
What good’s a lion, lord,
without a crown?

I was a lion in my winter.
What good’s a lion, lord,

So many lovers, too many nights.
Face in the mirror that keeps you alive.
So close together, so far apart.
I’m so afraid without you.
 
Rain on the river I’ll never cross.
Wind on the ocean, the feeling is lost.
I still believe that you cry for me.
Will I survive without you?
 
Like a fool, I was waiting,
Like a fool, for you to come back.
Fool, I was standing alone in the rain.
Like a fool, I was dreaming,

And now I’m just fooling myself.
 
Hearts go beating, love out of time.
Streets without pity, I search for a sign.
Oh, I keep running into the night
but I’m still lost without you.
 
Too many lovers, too many nights.
Face in the window that keeps me alive.
So close together, so far apart.
Will I survive without you?

Find your glory out there with somebody else
I’ll be where you find me.
I’ll be somebody else,

Dog in the manger,

I see a stranger laughing in your eyes.

No matter what you do
I go on loving you knowing…

Pardon me, if I use you in my dreams.
You throw those angel eyes at me.
Or could the beautiful woman be more than she seems?
But she is not in love with me.
 
All of my life I been looking for someone to carry my love away.
A chip on my shoulder, a misery, suddenly there you are.
Nobody knows, but she knows that I love her.
It’s got to be growing.
I can’t wait no longer.
 
Life goes on for the lonely man.
When love goes wrong only love knows why
life goes on for the lonely man.
We’ll be the dreams, we’ll be the seasons,
you and I, I.
 
Suddenly, all the world gets in the way.
You disappear into the crowd.
Maybe the beautiful woman never really came.
But I still call your name out loud.
 
I wanna know you, but I never met you.
Reality can be cruel.
If a wandering soul meets another,
they shouldn’t be separated.
 
Better in love with your head on my shoulder.
But I’ll never be satisfied.
And if I can’t see you,
 
Life goes on for the lonely man.
When love goes wrong, only love knows why
life goes on for the lonely man.
We’ll be the dreams, we’ll be the seasons,
you and I, I.
 
Living your life in someone else’s heart.
A lover’s dream that has no end.
There may be somebody you can base your world upon.
I’ll never be the same again.
 
And there’s a part of me here.
And there’s a part of me with you.
But all of me loves you.
Nobody gave me the feeling you gave me.
I’m so proud of
all of my days I will be here for you.
And the love keeps running.
And if I can’t hold you.
 
Life goes on for the lonely man.
And there’s a million words for the one goodbye.
Life goes on for the lonely man.
We’ll be the dreams, we’ll be the seasons,
you and I, I.
