Three little birds sat on my window. And they told me I don't need to worry. Summer came like cinnamon So sweet, Little girls double-dutch on the concrete. Maybe sometimes we've got it wrong, but it's alright The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same Oh, don't you hesitate. Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song You go ahead, let your hair down Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams, Just go ahead, let your hair down. You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow. Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely, Sipping tea in a bar by the roadside, (just relax, just relax) Don't you let those other boys fool you, Got to love that afro hair do. Maybe sometimes we feel afraid, but it's alright The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change. Don't you think it's strange? Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song You go ahead, let your hair down Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams, Just go ahead, let your hair down. You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow. 'Twas more than I could take, pity for pity's sake Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger When you gonna realise, that you don't even have to try any longer? Do what you want to. Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song You go ahead, let your hair down Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams, Just go ahead, let your hair down. Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song You go ahead, let your hair down Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams, Just go ahead, let your hair down. Oh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

Once in a while In a big blue moon There comes a night like this Like some surrealist Invented this 4th of July Night Ride Home Hula girls and caterpillar tractors in the sand The ukulele man The fireworks This 4th of July Night Ride Home I love the man beside me We love the open road No phones till Friday Far from the overkill Far from the overload Back at the bar The band tears down But out here in the headlight beams The silver powerlines Gleam On this 4th of July Night Ride Home Round the curve And a big dark horse Red taillights on his hide Is keeping right alongside Rev for stride 4th of July Night Ride Home I love the man beside me We love the open road No phones till Friday Far from the undertow Far from the overload Once in awhile In a big blue moon There comes a night like this Like some surrealist Invented this 4th of July Night Ride Home

Sometimes I'm happy, Sometimes I'm blue. My disposition Depends on you. I never mind The rain from the sky If I can find The sun in your eyes. Sometimes I love you, Sometimes I hate you. But when I hate you, It's 'cause I love you. That's how I am So what can I do? I'm happy when I'm with you. Sometimes I love you, Sometimes I hate you. But when I hate you, It's 'cause I love you. That's how I am So what can I do? I'm happy when I'm with you. I'm happy when I'm with you.

When we want to love, we love When we want to kiss, we kiss With a little petting, we're getting Some fun out of life When we want to work, we work When we wanna play, we play In a happy setting, we're getting Some fun out of life Maybe we do the right things Maybe we do the wrong Spending each day Wending our way along But when we want to sing, we sing When we want to dance, we dance You can do your betting, we're getting Some fun out of life Maybe we do the right things Maybe we do the wrong Spending each day Wending our way along But when we want to sing, we sing When we wanna dance, we dance You can do your betting, we're getting Some fun out of life

Stars 03:30
Living in a world A place unexplained It’s easy to pass the days by People going by, a glaze in their eyes So lonely, so unaware We are just stars each one of us In our own different way Livin’ alone, tryin’ to make it each day We are just stars each one of us In our own different way One day here, the next gone Too short, but how far you’d come Fall from the sky, tonight it’s goodbye Surely the next star will rise We are just stars each one of us In our own different way Livin’ alone tryin’ to make it each day We are just stars, each one of us We can make it, that’s what I pray

Sky Won't Fall Sometimes it feels like I’m in a bad movie, I’m a star of the show but the joke is on me Doing everything wrong, hey what’s going on Has the world stopped spinnin’ Why is the line long when you’re in a hurry Why is there traffic when you’re running late Now my phone is dead, should have stayed in bed It’s just another bad day It’s time to get over So I don’t worry about stormy weather Gotta live my life now or never Sometimes it’s hard to play with the cards in your hands So I don’t worry about stormy weather Gotta live my life, make it better Ring the alarm and just sing a song Cause the sky, the sky won’t fall tomorrow. Why does it feel like I’m almost heart broken How come I always pick the wrong guys Been up and down, round and round On a roller coaster and I realize It’s time to get over So I don’t worry about stormy weather Gotta live my life now or never Sometimes it’s hard to play with the cards in your hands So I don’t worry abut stormy weather Gotta live my life, make it better Ring the alarm and just sing a song I can look back and plead insanity But it’s better just to laugh and carry on Just keep calm and move along, because the sky, the sky won’t fall tomorrow.

Come stop your crying It will be alright Just take my hand Hold it tight I will protect you From all around you I will be here Don't you cry For one so small, You seem so strong My arms will hold you, Keep you safe and warm This bond between us Can't be broken I will be here Don't you cry 'Cause you'll be in my heart Yes, you'll be in my heart From this day on Now and forever more You'll be in my heart No matter what they say You'll be here in my heart, always Why can't they understand the way we feel? They just don't trust what they can't explain I know we're different but deep inside us We're not that different at all And you'll be in my heart Yes, you'll be in my heart From this day on Now and forever more Don't listen to them 'Cause what do they know (what do they know)? We need each other To have, to hold. They'll see in time I know When destiny calls you You must be strong (you gotta be strong) I may not be with you But you've got to hold on They'll see in time I know We'll show them together

Live Now 03:44
Live now Don’t wait for the clouds to clear The moment you want is here and now Just allow All that you’re waiting for You still have so much more To give So live now Now is the time Only fools fall for tomorrow Today, You make your dreams come true Here’s how: Live now

You Give Love A Bad Name" Shot through the heart And you're to blame Darling, you give love a bad name... An angel's smile is what you sell You promise me heaven, then put me through hell Chains of love got a hold on me When passion's a prison, you can't break free Oh, oh, you're a loaded gun (yeah) Oh, oh, there's nowhere to run No one can save me The damage is done [Chorus:] Shot through the heart And you're to blame You give love a bad name (bad name) I play my part And you play your game You give love a bad name (bad name) You give love a bad name You give love a bad name Paint your smile on your lips Blood red nails on your fingertips A school boy's dream, you act so shy Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye Oh, oh, you're a loaded gun Oh, oh, there's nowhere to run No one can save me The damage is done [Chorus:] Shot through the heart And you're to blame You give love a bad name (bad name) I play my part And you play your game You give love a bad name (bad name) You give love... ah!

Let's Do It (Let's Fall In Love) When the little blue bird, who has never said a word Starts to sing, Spring Spring When the little blue bell at the bottom of the dell Starts to ring, Ding Ding When the little blue clerk in the middle of his work Starts a tune to the moon up above It is nature that's all, simply telling us to fall in love. And that's why... Birds do it, bees do it Even educated fleas do it Let's do it, let's fall in love In Spain, the best upper sets do it Lithuanians and let's do it Let's do it, let's fall in love The Dutch in old Amsterdam do it Not to mention the Fins Folks in Siam do it - think of Siamese twins Some Argentines, without means, they do it People say in Boston even beans do it Let's do it, let's fall in love Romantic sponges, they say, do it Oysters down in oyster bay do it Let's do it, let's fall in love Cold Cape Cod clams, 'gainst their wish, do it Even lazy jellyfish, do it Let's do it, let's fall in love Electric eels I might add do it Though it shocks em I know Why ask if shad do it - Waiter bring me "shad roe" In shallow shoals English soles do it Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it Let's do it, let's fall in love
11.
It's not the pale moon that excites me That thrills and delights me, oh no It's just the nearness of you It isn't your sweet conversation That brings this sensation, oh no It's just the nearness of you When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me All my wildest dreams came true I need no soft lights to enchant me If you'll only grant me the right To hold you ever so tight And to feel in the night the nearness of you

Smile 03:37
"Smile" Smile though your heart is aching Smile even though it's breaking When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by If you smile through your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun come shining through for you Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying? You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile [instrumental interlude] That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying? You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile
