They say that breaking up is hard to do
Now I know, I know that it's true
Don't say that this is the end
Instead of breaking up I wish that we were making up again
I beg of you
Don't say goodbye
Can't we give our love another try?
Come on, baby, let's start anew
'Cause breaking up is hard to do

There ain't no good in our goodby-in'
True love takes, a lot of tryin' oh I'm cryin'
Let's hang on, to what we've got
Don't let go girl, we've got a lot
Got a lot of love between us
(Hang on, hang on, hang on)
To what we've got
You say you're gonna go and call it quits
Gonna chuck it all and break our love to bits
(Breakin' up) I wish you'd never said it (breakin' up)
No, no we'll both regret it

Tommy used to work on the docks, union's been on strike
He's down on his luck, it's tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day, working for her man
She brings home her pay, for love, mmm, for love
She says, "We've gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot"
Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
(You know I) And I pumped a lot of 'pane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of that city until I hitched
A ride on the river boat Queen
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin' (Rollin')
Rollin' yeah (Rollin'), rollin' on the river (Rollin' on the river)
Said we're rollin' (Rollin')
Rollin' yeah (Rollin'), rollin' on the river (Rollin' on the river)
I left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleep
Worryin' about the way things might have been

Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the Southland
I miss Alabamy once again and I think it's a sin, yes

Well, I heard Mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ol' 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 coming home to you

Sitting in a park in Paris, France
Reading the news and it sure looks bad
They won't give peace a chance
That was just a dream some of us had
Still a lot of lands to see
But I wouldn't wanna stay here, it's too old and cold
And settled in its ways here

Oh, but California
California, I'm coming home
I'm going to see the folks I dig
I'll even kiss a Sunset pig
California, I'm coming home

All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)
And the sky is gray (and the sky is gray)
I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk)
On a winter's day (on a winter's day)
I'd be safe and warm (I'd be safe and warm)
If I was in LA (if I was in LA)
California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day

Carry a cup in your hand
Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Hang on to your hopes, my friend
That's an easy thing to say
But if your hopes should pass away
Simply pretend that you can build them again
Look around
The grass is high
The fields are ripe
It's the springtime of my life
Seasons change with the scenery
Weavin' time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me?
Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

As daybreak breaks the mist upon the earth
It came to pass that beauty settled there forever more
And as the steam clings close to things to come
It came to pass that solid rock did part for humble life
Once upon a time there was confusion
Disappointment, fear and disillusion
Now there's hope reborn with every morning
See the future clearly at its dawning
Forever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptiness
Whilst water slips into the sea
The father's sad to see it free

Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
Think of all the great things we would do?
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way

Sometimes I get to feelin'
I was back in the old days, long ago
When we were kids, when we were young
Things seemed so perfect, you know?
The days were endless, we were crazy, we were young
The sun was always shinin', we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately, I just don't know
The rest of my life's been, just a show

Those were the days of our lives
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now, but one thing is true
When I look and I find, I still love you

Ride it on out like a bird in the sky ways
Ride it on out like you were a bird
Fly it all out like an eagle in a sunbeam
Ride it on out like you were a bird
Wear a tall hat like a druid in the old days
Wear a tall hat and a tatooed gown
Ride a white swan like the people of the Beltane
Wear your hair long, babe you can't go wrong

I don't want a pickle
Just want to ride on my motorcycle
And I don't want a tickle
'Cause I'd rather ride on my motorcycle
And I don't want to die
I just want to ride on my motorcycle

Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh (any way the wind blows)
I don't wanna die
sometimes I wish I'd never been born at all

Sometimes I wish I knew your name
At times I want to say hello
But you seem so far away
To let my feelings show
And though I don't know what to say
I feel that someday soon one day
Love will place you by my side
And it shall be our guide

And then manana sera se si
Means our love will always be
Something special and also true
Girl I long to be with you
Oh manana sera se si
Means our love will always be
Something special and also true
Girl I long for you

Hey, hey, hey
I long for you every, every night
Ooh, just to kiss your sweet, sweet lips, baby
Hold you ever, ever so tight
And I wanna say
Someday we'll be together
Yes we will, yes we will
Someday we'll be together
Yes we will, yes we will
Someday we'll be together
Someday we'll be together
Yes we will, yes we will

Someday soon
Someday soon
Familiar breeze will fill your living room
Rugs lash out their lizards tongues
You're not getting young
You're not getting young
But you're going to die
And you're going to be needing all of your lies
You'll be all alone when the animals cry
All by yourself in the infancy's lie

Brazil, where hearts were entertaining June
We stood beneath an amber moon
And softly murmured "Someday soon"
We kissed and clung together

Then, tomorrow was another day
The morning found me miles away
With still a million things to say
Now, when twilight dims the skies above
Recalling thrills of our love
There's one thing I'm certain of
Return, I will, to old Brazil

I've been driving in my car, it's not quite a Jaguar
I bought it in Primrose Hill from a bloke from Brazil
It was made in fifty-nine in a factory by the Tyne
It says Morris on the door, the GPO owned it before
I drive in it for my job, the governor calls me a slob
But I don't really care, give me some gas and the open air

I'm driving home for Christmas
Oh, I can't wait to see those faces
I'm driving home for Christmas
Yeah
Well, I'm moving down that line

And it's been so long
But I will be there
I sing this song
To pass the time away
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas

It's gonna take some time
But I'll get there

Dearest darling
I had to write to say that I won't be home anymore
Cause something happened to me
While I was driving home and I'm not the same anymore
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa
Ah, only one day away from your arms
I saw a welcoming night
And stopped to rest for the night

I'm spinnin' around
move outta my way
I know you're feelin' me
cause you like it like this
I'm breakin' it down
I'm not the same
I know you're feelin' me
'cause you like it...
Clearin' this
house out of joy
I'm spinnin' around
move outta my way
I know you're feelin' me
'cause you like it like this
I'm breakin' it down
I'm not the same
I know you're feelin' me
'cause you like it...
Clearin' this
house out of joy
that I borrowed
from back in the day that I borrowed
from back in the day

Day after day
Alone on a hill
The man with the foolish grin
Is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
And he never gives an answer

But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning 'round

There's somethin’ happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
A-telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down.

Somethin' here (Here), here in my heart
Keeps a-tellin' me no (No)
Right from the start it's been tellin' me so
And I don't think I should ignore it

Somethin' here (Here), here in my heart
Keeps a-tellin' me Woah! (Woah!)
You're better apart, keeps a-tellin' me go
And I don't think I should ignore it

There was a time when you could
twist me 'round your little finger
I danced to every tune you cared to play
But then I got my fingers burnt and now my lesson's learnt
All I know is that I'm in your arms
And I feel like I wanna stay
