I can make the sun shine out of the heavens,
sweet love, love you forever.
Just wait until the sun’s on your pillow.
I can bring love ‘cause that’s all I’ve got.
I can bring love ‘cause that’s all I’ve got.
 
I can change the whole world if you are near me.
No tears if you can hear me.
Just wait until the sun’s on your pillow.
I can bring love ‘cause that’s all I’ve got.
I can bring love ‘cause that’s all I’ve got, yeah.
 
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah ….
 
Just wait until the sun’s on your pillow.
I can bring love ‘cause that’s all I’ve got.
I can bring love ‘cause that’s all I’ve got.

I don’t believe in love.
I’m not afraid of the night.
People who follow their hearts survive.
 
Don’t need the chains of life.
I am no refugee.
They say that the eyes of the soul surrender.
 
Give me little loving, can we set the world alight?
Every thing I wanted walking right beside me, baby.
When I think I’m losing, I just look at you and…
 
Baby, I believe in miracles,
burning through the night .
Shining with the power of lightning,
so exciting.
I’m on a journey,
I don’t know if I can make it on my own.
 
Baby, I believe in miracles.
Destination, your desire.
And baby, oh sweet baby.
 
I can’t agree with war.
It’s not important to me.
The stranger that stands in the wind survives.
 
Give me little loving, can we set the world alight?
Every thing I wanted walking right beside me, baby.
When I think I’m losing, I just look at you and…
 
Baby, I believe in miracles,
burning through the night.
Shining with the power of lightning,
so exciting.
I’m on a journey,
I don’t know if I can make it on my own.
 
Baby, I believe in miracles…

In the history of humans I have found
no stranger to the strange.
It’s the dream of your choice
that fate could not change.

It’s a mystery that is the universe,
ten times the speed of sound.
Don’t be concerned, I will take care of you.
Take you from Mercury to Mars.
Just state what you need.
And Jane will be there for you.
We’re on a journey to the stars.

Ah. We never stop short of our destination,
eyeballing the constellation.

I am your driver and I’m proud to say
in a word
your flight will be smooth.

I am your driver, it’s your lucky day.
We be gone.
Together we move, oh,
together we move.

Apart from black holes, body rolls, ready for the danger.
I’ll get you home again.
We got a green light, hang on tight.
You can rearrange your bags in the aisle.
The airline with a smile.

We never stop short of our destination,
eyeballing the constellation.

I am your driver and my speed is great.
I’m a stone,
born to be smooth.

I am your driver, I take you away.
We be gone.
Together we move, oh,
how can we lose.

All aboard the ‘Merry Widow’ I have found
our ship can race the wind,
chase it and win
for she was a pioneer
like others before,
she lead the line.

And there’s been good times, some were bad.
Some were just appalling.
It’s all in the scheme of things, I suppose.

It all comes down to what is real or what your dream is.
One show of shows.
Just follow your nose.

You’ll never stop short of your destination,
eyeballing the constellation.

I am your driver and I’m proud to say
in a word your flight will be smooth.
I am your driver, it’s your lucky day.
We be gone.
Together we move,
together we move.

I’m the sun and the falling rain,
I’m the kind of man you can’t explain.
 
True love is one thing I’ve been dreaming of ,
I give my love to you,
and when I do,
you are to me the very deepest part of me.
 
I am the world,
I am the sky,
I am the sea,
I’m anything that you want me to be.
 
When you hurt me,
then I become the night time,
the shadows in my eyes
don’t make it good
for me to see
the way I should.
 
I am the world,
I am the sky,
I am the sea,

King Kathy

“King Kathy”

In the stable yard , deep in the night,
Never a sound was heard,
If you pierce the dark, you’ll see a light,
Maybe a whispered word.

You’re going to make it, King Kathy,
Better take it easy girl,
You’ll live to ride another day,
You’re going to show the whole world.

But the voice was wrong, no one would say,
Kathy would race no more,
She won every race, run in her life,
But some one must take the score.

You’re going to make it, King Kathy,
Better take it easy girl,
You’ll live to ride another day,
You’re going to show the whole world.

When the stable yard welcomed the dawn,
Only a voice that cried,
The voice that saw King Kathy born,
Was there on the day she died.

You’re going to make it, King Kathy,
Better take it easy girl,
You’ll live to ride another day,
You’re going to show the whole world.

But when she cries, the world just dies,
I see a million tears in Kitty’s eyes.
 
Eve never pleases me and Kitty can.
Eve never pleases me and Kitty can.
 
Now Eve is bad and treats me cruel.
She likes to see me looking like a fool.
I find a way with words I say
to be in love in such a lonely way.
 
Eve never pleases me and Kitty can.
Eve never pleases me and Kitty can.
 
Now they are two and I am one.
I cannot fall in love with everyone.
So I must choose between the two.
Made up my mind, now I am choosing you.

I got you leaving me and missing you
And me believing that you’ve never done right
when you’ve never done wrong.
 
You been coming to me late at night.
It’s not the eye alone that gives you sight.
I’ve never given anybody my soul,
but I’m coming undone.
 
I’m a survivor but I’m reaching my low,
but I’m not ready to die.
 
I’m here for the kiss of life, oh.
I’m here for the kiss of life, oh.
Just give me the kiss of life.
 
Watch them hold you.
Count their faces,
a never-ending line.
 
But they’re only
imitations,
existing out of time.
 
So now you’re telling me it’s just a ring.
You say it’s nothing but it’s everything.
I’m under pressure and I’m under
your gun and I’m fingers and thumbs.
 
You got the questions and the answers I know.
I’m being buried alive.
 
I’m here for the kiss of life, oh.
I’m here for the kiss of life, oh.
Just give me the kiss of life.
 
I can’t stay here
lost without you.
Strangers in the dark.
 
Holy angel,
living for you

Oh, ah….
 
I’m a survivor but I’m reaching my low,

All the love of my mother, I offer to you
And I’ll try so very hard, to get you through
If I lay down my life, for my king and country men
Would it change you for the better
It better be all right
To be always like children
Afraid of the night

If I gave up the cause, what would you give me
to make up for all the things that I would lose
If I lay down my life, for my king and country men
Would it change you for the better
It better be all right
To be always like children
Afraid of the night

Well you better get busy, get it over and done
I was here when you arrived, I’ll be here when you’re gone
If I lay down my life for my king and country men
Would it change you for the better
It better be all right
To be never like people
Afraid of the night

Kathy’s eyes were full of alibies,
she always played around.
Kathy said she needed life
instead of a suburban town.
 
And she didn’t care when things were wrong or right,
heading out towards the city lights.
Telling me that at last she’s alive, alive.
 
Kathy’s gone and I can’t go on,
I’ve been crying lonely nights.
No one knows where the true love goes in the end.
 
Oh, oh, oh, Kathy she shot down my world,
that’s no surpise.
 
Oh, Kathy’s dream to be a movie queen
was her obsession.
Sweet reviews inside the morning news
was her reflection.
 
And she ran away to find a fantasy
with the lovers and the limosines.
Could it be that at last she’s alive, alive.
 
Kathy’s gone and I can’t go on,
I’ve been crying lonely nights.
No one knows where the true love goes in the end.

I know you’re seeing someone else

Jealousy, taking me over and over again.
Jealousy, saying you love but inside you pretend.
You say I go on needlessly
finding wrong in all I see.
 
But I know in my heart from the start
you wanted to play, yeah.
You know I’m so alive with you.
Telling love with all you do.
I know I’m gonna drive your love away, away.
 
You were my inspiration.
You were the answer to my prayer.
A lover I could depend on and soften all my cares.
I can’t believe you’re out at night holding someone new.

Just one more night, my love,
and all that we believe becomes a lie,
and loneliness will disappear
with the tears we cried.

How could you leave me believing
that it’s too late to be
all the love, the love we were?
How can you turn me away
when I stumble in?
Help me break your dream of her.

I wonder why it’s going wrong.
Never understood the meaning all along.
Somehow I believe in everything.
Came the warning light.
And the story ends.
And I’m in love with you, baby.

Just one more night, my love
and all that we believe becomes a lie,
and loneliness will disappear
with the tears we cried.

Would you be leaving tomorrow for someone else
while I die for you inside?
Can there be one of us anyone feel no pain?
Don’t it hurt to say goodbye?

It must be right to let it end.
I’m playing with pieces of my heart again.
Somehow I believe our love will grow
from the midnight hour to the morning glow.
And I believe in you, baby.
Just one more night, my love.

Just one more night, my love,
and all that we believe become a lie,
and loneliness will disappear
with the tears we cried.

Just how good to have your love
Say you will, you will be mine
You’ll be mine forever and always
Just one look and I knew
That you were my only one

I thought I was dreaming
But I was so wrong
But I’m gonna keep on scheming
Till I can make you all of my own

So you see I really care
Without you I’m nothing
Just one look and I know
I’ll get you someday
Just one look

Well, it seems every night and day, I get to lose.
And I always held the faith inside
that love would find a way.
And I always reached for more than the others ever saw.
I was always the first to follow my foolish prayer.
And the feeling that I have is more than any soul could bear.
Hold me when I wake.
Then I can be sure of who I am.
I’m half the man I should be, when you’re gone.

And you’re telling me this is love,
but just in case, keep my heart in a secret place,
safe under lock and key, ‘til I know it’s only me.
One of us got to be the one that’s true.
One for the other and the love comes through.
Right here or out in space.
Give my heart to you, babe, but just in case.
Yeah, just in case.

Tell the world that I’ve come to claim your tomorrows.
Let the universal word go out a million miles away.
And let history show.
On the wind the seed is sown.
We are living in a time where the tears fall where they might,
but we hear each other much more than those who see.
We are not alone.
Love is there for everyone who needs
and for anyone who cries.
I will always have you here with me.
Oh.

And you’re telling me this is love,
but just in case, keep my heart in a secret place,
safe under lock and key, til I know it’s only me.
One of us has got to be the one that’s true.
One for the other and the love comes through.
Yours, mine, and face to face,
give my heart to you,
but just in case.
Yeah, just in case.

Ah, oh baby, ah, oh, oh baby, ah.

And you’re telling me this is love,
but just in case, keep my heart in a secret place,
safe under lock and key, til I know it’s only me.
