More song lyrics 8

I'd like to build a world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow white turtle doves
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company

I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I am music
And i write the songs...

Don't you feel it growing day by day
People gettin ready to hear the news
Some are happy,some are sad
Oh we got to let the music play
What the people need
Is a way to make them smile
It ain't that hard if you know what to do
Gotta get a message
Got to get it through
Oh now mama's going to after awhile
Oh oh listen to the music
Oh oh listen to the music
Oh oh listen to the music
All the time

Who draws the crowd and plays so loud
Baby it's the guitar man
Who's gonna steal the show
You know, baby, it's the guitar man
He can make you love
He can make you cry
He will bring you down
Then he'll get you high
Somethin' keeps him goin'
Miles and miles a day
To find another place to play
Night after night who treats you right
Baby, it's the guitar man
Who's on the radio
You go listen to the guitar man
Then he comes to town
And you see his face
And you think you might
Like to take his place
Somethin' keeps him driftin'
Miles and miles away
Searchin' for the songs to play
Then you listen to the music
And you like to sing along
You want to get the meaning
Out of each and every song
Then you find yourself a message
And some words to call your own
And take them home

Long ago and oh so far away
I fell in love with you
Before the second show
Your guitar 🎸 it sang so sweet and clear
But you're not really here
It's just the radio 📻
Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby
Said you'd be coming back to me one day , baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, your baby
I love you, I really do.

You've seen him
In the undirected light of street dreams
Doing nothing
Standing, like to seem casual
With a resemblance to people held by fear
Lit by fire and disrepair
The blue millionaire
Don't listen and keep asking
Only stories reach this far
No one's left and no one's coming
And I will disappear far away from you
The American wind and the blue millionaire

Slip slidin away
Slip slidin away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin away

I knew a man
Became from my hometown
He wore his passion for his woman
Like a thorny crown
He said "Delores, I live in fear
My love for you is so overpowering
I'm afraid I will disappear "

If you're down and confused
And you don't remember who you're talking to
Concentration slip away
Because your baby is so far away
Well, there's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with

Early in the morning, rising to the street
Light me up a cigarette and I strap shoes to my feet
Got to find a reason, a reason things went wrong
Got to find a reason all my money's gone
I've go a dalmatian and I can still get high
I can play the guitar like a mother f** riot
Well life is too short, so love the one you got
Cause you might get run over or you might get shot
Never start no static I just get it off my chest
Never had to battle with a bullet proof vest
Take a small example, take a hint from me
Take all your money and give it yo charity
Love is that I got
Love is what I got

Blue is the colour of my true loves eyes
in the morning, when we rise
In the morning, when we rise
That's the time
Oh that's the time
I love her best...

Her hair is Harlow gold
Her lips sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll turn her music on you
You won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow
She's got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precious and she knows just
What it will take to make you blush
She's got Greta Garbo stand off sighs
She's got Bette Davis Eyes

… In your eyes, I can see my dream's reflections
In your eyes, found the answers to my questions
In your eyes, I can see the reasons why our love's alive
In your eyes, we're drifting safely back to shore
And I think I've finally learned to love you more
… You warned me that life changes
That no one really knows
Whether time would make us strangers
Or whether time would make us grow
Even though the winds of time will change
In a world where nothing stays the same
Through it all our love will still remain
… In your eyes , I can see the reasons why our love's alive
You and I , we're drifting safely back to shore
And I think I've finally learned to love you more

You've long been on the open road
You've been sleepin' in the rain
From dirty words and muddy cells
You're clothes are soiled and stained
But the dirty words, the mud of cells
Will soon be judged insane
So only stop and rest yourself
And you'll be off again
Oh take off your thirsty boots
And stay for awhile
Your feet are hard and weary
From a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh
And maybe I can try
Looking for the evening
And the morning in your eyes

I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants yo stay for awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa
Men have named you
You are so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only cause you're lonely
They have blamed you
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile
Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there, and they die there
Are you warm, are you real Mona Lisa
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art

She's Venus in blue jeans
Mona Lisa with a ponytail
She's walkin' talkin' work of art
She's the girl who stole my heart
My Venus in blue jeans
Is the Cinderella I adore
She's my very special angel, too
A fairy tale come true

Send me a pan of corn bread with some turnip greens on the side
And if you really want to mess with my head give me anything southern fried
Give me some faded blue jeans and a pair of old cowboyboots
And I'm going to tell you where I come from tell you something about my roots
I'm a southern man
I'm a southern man

Southern man better keep your head
Don't forget what your good book said
Southern change gonna come at last
Now your crosses are burning fast
Southern man
I saw cotton and I saw black
Tall white mansions and little shacks
Southern man, when will you pay them back?
I heard screaming and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long? (Ah)

Big wheels keep on turnin'
Carry me home to see my kin
Singin' songs about the Southland
I miss Alabamy once again, and I think it's a sin, I said
Well, I heard Mr. Young sing about her
Well, I heard old Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around, anyhow
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I'm comin' home to you

Now nothing seems as strange as
When the leaves began to change
Or how we thought those days would never end
Sometimes I'll hear that song again, I'll start to sing along
And think how I'd love to see that girl again

While we were trying different things
And we were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sippin whiskey out the bottle, not thinking of tomorrow
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long

Those were the days my friend
I thought they’d never end

Sorry, forgot the rest

I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go?
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go?
'Cause I love them so

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have you found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here

I'm a walking in the rain
Tears are falling and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here with me
To end this misery
And I wonder, wo wo wo wo wonder,
Why, why, why, why, why, why she ran away?
And I wonder
Where she will stay ay ?
My little runaway, run, run, run, run, runaway.

Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by
I say to myself "you're such a lucky guy "
To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true
Out of all the fellows in the world she belongs to you

But it was just my imagination
Running away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me
