Lookin' in your eyes I see a paradise
Let 'em say we're crazy, I don't care about that
And we can build this dream together
I'm so glad I found you, I'm not gonna lose you
Let 'em say we're crazy, what do they know?
And we can build this dream together
All that I need is you
And we can build this dream together
Build this dream together
And we can build this dream together
Oh, my love, my darling,
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
Are you still mine?
There will be another song for me
I will take my life into my hands
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
To dream the impossible dream
To right the unrightable wrong
This is my quest, to follow that star,
And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest
And the world will be better for this
Where's this place called "Lonely Street?"
I'm looking for that lonely street
A place where there's just loneliness
Perhaps upon that lonely street
If I could find that lonely street
Where's this place called "Lonely Street?"
Moon river, wider than a mile
Two drifters, off to see the world
Moon river, wider than a mile
Two drifters, off to see the world
Guess there's no use in hangin' 'round
Can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
Called up some girl I used to know
Can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
I'll find somebody, wait and see
Can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
I can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
Where do I begin
With her first hello
She fills my heart with very special things
How long does it last
Dear heart wish you were here to warm this night
A single room, a table for one
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy!
Desperado, ah, you ain't gettin' no younger.
Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime?
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
I can't stop loving you
I can't stop wanting you
Those happy hours that we once knew
I can't stop loving you
I can't stop wanting you
Those happy hours
They say that time
I said I made up my mind
I can't stop wanting you
What'll you do when you get lonely
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
I tried to give you consolation
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Let's make the best of the situation
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Eric Clapton
I'll take you home again, Kathleen
The roses all have left your cheek.
Oh! I will take you back, Kathleen
I know you love me, Kathleen, dear
The smiles that once you gave to me
To that dear home beyond the sea
Where laughs the little silver stream
*******************************
This world that I've found is too good to be true
Standin' here beside ya, want so much to give you
This love in my heart that I'm feelin' for you
Put your hand in my hand, baby, don't ever look back
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby, we can make it if we're heart-to-heart
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now, whoa no
Whatever it takes, I will stay here with you
Take you to the good times, see you through the bad times
Whatever it takes is what I'm gonna do
Put your arms around me, baby, don't ever let go
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby, we can make it if we're heart-to-heart
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us, ooh
All that I ever need
All that I want to do
Is hold you forever, forever and ever
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us now
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us
I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time,
Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much.
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me.
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh, "Wait for me, wait for me"
"I'll be coming home, wait for me!"
I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me
For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
Someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking at the sky
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
You'll still be the one.
And I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes
And I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passions flow like rivers through the sky.
But after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you
And wonderin' why.
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
And I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
Oh, no
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go.
To be better far than you are
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To be willing to give when there's no more to give
To be willing to die so that honor and justice may live
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star.
I've got a sad, sad tale to tell
I need a place to go and weep
Where's this place called "Lonely Street?"
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called "Lonely Street?"
There's someone such as I
Who came to bury broken dreams
And watch an old love die
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called "Lonely Street?"
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, Moon River, and me
I'm crossin' you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after that same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, Moon River, and me
Guess I'll get dressed and do the town
I'll find some crowded avenue
Though it will be empty without you
Gonna live my whole life thorough-loving you
After I heard her say "Hello"
Couldn't think of anything to say
Since you're gone it happens every day
Gonna live my whole life thorough-loving you
Who am I kiddin', only me
'cause no one else could take your place
Guess that I am just a helpless case
Gonna live my whole life thorough-loving you
Gonna live my whole life thorough-loving you
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start
She gave new meaning to this empty world of mine
There’d never be another love, another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart
With angels’ songs, with wild imaginings
She fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go I’m never lonely
With her around, who could be lonely
I reach for her hand-it’s always there
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I’ll need her till the stars all burn away
And she’ll be there
My dear heart, seems like a year since you've been out of my sight
A single room, a table for one
It's a lonesome town all right
But soon I'll kiss you hello at our front door
And dear heart I want you to know
I'll leave your arms never more
It's a lonesome town all right
But soon I'll kiss you hello at our front door
And dear heart I want you to know
I'll leave your arms never more
You been out ridin' fences for so long now.
Oh, you're a hard one,
but I know that you've got your reasons.
These things that are pleasin' you
can hurt you somehow.
She'll beat you, if she's able.
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet.
Now it seems to me some fine things
have been laid upon your table,
but you only want the ones that you can't get.
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home.
Freedom, oh, freedom. That's just some people talkin'
You're a prisioner walking through this world all alone.
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine.
It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day.
You're losin' all your highs and lows.
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
Come down from your fences, open the gate.
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you.
You better let somebody love you
before it's too late.
I've made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
Dreams of yesterday
Tho' long ago, they still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart
I've made up my mind
To live in memories of the lonesome times
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
That we once knew
Tho' long ago
Still ma-a-a-ake me blue
Heals a broken heart
Time has stood still
Since we've been apart
To live in memory of the lonesome times
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life of dreams of yesterday
Of yesterday
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
(Eric Clapton and Jim Gordon)
I'll Take You Home Again,
Kathleen
Across the ocean wild and wide
To where your heart has ever been
Since you were first my bonnie bride.
I've watched them fade away and die
Your voice is sad when e'er you speak
And tears bedim your loving eyes.
To where your heart will feel no pain
And when the fields are fresh and green
I'II take you to your home again!
Your heart was ever fond and true.
I always feel when you are near
That life holds nothing, dear, but you.
I scarcely ever see them now
Though many, many times I see
A dark'ning shadow on your brow.
My Kathleen shall again return.
And when thy old friends welcome thee
Thy loving heart will cease to yearn.
Beside your mother's humble cot
And brightest rays of sunshine gleam
There all your grief will be forgot.
