SUMMER OF '69
I got my first real six-string, Bought it at the five-and-dime, Played it till my fingers bled, It was the summer of '69. Me and some guys from school Had a band and we tried real hard. Jimmy quit and Jodie got married, I shoulda known we'd never get far. Oh, when I look back now, And if I had the choice, Yeah, I'd always wanna be there, Those were the best days of my life. Ain't no use in complainin' When you've got a job to do, Spent my evening's down at the drive-in, And that's where I met you. Standin' at your mama's porch, You told me that you'd wait forever, And when you held my hand I knew that it was now or never, Those were the best days of my life. Back in the summer of '69. Man, we were killin' time, We were young and restless, We needed to unwind. I guess nothin' can last forever, Forever, no. And now the times are a-chanign', Look at everything that's come and gone. Every time I play that old six-string, Think about you, wonder what went wrong. Standin' by your mama's porch, You told me it would last forever. Oh, the way you held my hand, I knew that it was now or never. Those were the best days of my life. Back in the summer of '69.
BACK TO YOU
I've been down - I've been beat I've been so tired that I could not speak I've been so lost that I could not see I wanted things that were out of reach Then I found you and you helped me through And you showed me what to do That's why I'm coming back to you... CHORUS: Like a star that guides a ship across the ocean That's how your love can take me home back to you And if I wish upon that star Someday I'll be where you are And I know that day is coming soon Yeah I'm coming back to you You've been alone but ya did not show it You've been in pain when I did not know it You let me do what I needed to - you were ther when I needed you Mighta let you down - mighta messed you round But you never changed your point of view That's why I'm coming back to you... CHORUS ...
CUTS LIKE A KNIFE
Drivin' home this evenin', I coulda sworn we had it all worked out. You had this boy believin' Way beyond the shadow of a doubt. Then I heard it on the street, I heard you mighta found somebody new. Well, who is he, baby, Who is he, and tell me what he means to you. I took it all for granted, but how was I to know That you would be lettin' go. Now it cuts like a knife, But it feels so right. It cuts like a knife, But it feels so right. There's times I've been mistaken, There's times I thought I'd been misunderstood. So wait a minute darlin', Can't you see we did the best we could? This wouldn't be the first time things have gone astray, Now you've thrown it all away.
I'M READY
I'd like to see you, Thought I'd let you know. I wanna be with you every day 'Cause I've got a feelin' That's beginnin' to grow And there's only one thing I can say. I'm ready - to love you. I'm ready - to hold you I'm ready - to love you I'm ready - to hold you As ready as I'm gonna be. You left me a long note When you left me here. Told me that love was hard to find. But baby, it's easy and I'll make it clear That there's only one thing on my mind.
FITS YA GOOD
Waitin' here for the workin' day to end, Five o'clock and those walls Just move in closer You get home so down and worn out, It's understood, Yeah, it fits ya good. Was a time You were bringin' me down, But I know - it's just the way you look at life, You don't know like I know, baby, I did all that I could, But it fits ya good.
WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEONE
When you love someone you'll do anything You'll do all the crazy things that you can't explain You'll shoot the moon - put out the sun When you love someone. You'll deny the truth - believe a lie There'll be times that you'll believe you can really fly But your lonely nights have just begun When you love someone. When you love someone you'll feel it deep inside And nothing else can ever change your mind When you want someone - when you need someone When you love someone... When you love someone - you'll sacrifice You'd give it everything you got and you won't think twice You'd risk it all - no matter what may come When you love someone You'll shoot the moon - put out the sun When you love someone.
18 TIL I DIE
Wanna be young the rest of my life, Never say no, try anything twice. When the angels come and ask me to fly, Gonna be 18 til I die - 18 til I die Can't live forever, that's wishful thinkin', Whoever said that must of been drinkin'. Don't wanna grow up, I don't see why, I couldn't care less if time flies by. 18 til I die, gonna be 18 til I die. Ya, it sure feels good to be alive, Someday I'll be 18 goin' on 55! 18 til I die Anyway, I just wanna say Why bother with what happened yesterday, It's not my style, I live for the minute, If ya wanna stay young, get both feet in it 18 til I die A little bit of this, a little bit of that, Little bit of everything, gotta get on track. It's not how you look, it's what ya feel inside, I don't care when, I don't need to know why. 18 til I die, gonna be 18 til I die. Ya, it sure feels good to be alive, Someday I'll be 18 goin' on 55! 18 til I die Ya, there's one thing for sure, I'm sure gonna try Don't worry 'bout the future - forget about the past, Gonna have a ball, ya, we're gonna have a blast, Gonna make it at last - 18 til I die
I THINK ABOUT YOU
I ought to be workin', but I can't concentrate, I ought to be sleepin', 'stead of stayin' up late. When I ought to be doin' all the things I should do, I think about you. I ought to be writin', but I can't find the song, Just sittin' here driftin', driftin' along. There's only one thing that I wanna do, And that's think about you. I think about you, I can't get no rest, I think about you, there ain't no one else, It's all I can do, I can't help myself, Ya, I think about you. I could go cruisin', but I've had enough, I could go drinkin', but I can't stand the stuff. It just don't do me like it used to do, I'd rather think about you.
If Ya Wanna Be Bad Ya Gotta Be Good
She got a nasty reputation and a talent for sin She's the kind of trouble I'd like to be in I wanna be her lover - I wanna be her slave She's the kind of woman makes me wanna misbehave She'll give you what you want boy Let's make it understood But if you wanna be bad you gotta be good She says there'll be no lyin', no foolin'around No seven-day weekends - no nights on the town But that's the way I want it That's the way it's gotta be If you're lookin' for trouble Better get it from me So get on your knees boy And do what you should If you wanna be bad you gotta be good Let's Make A Night To Remember (Bryan Adams/R. J. Lange) Let's make a night to remember From January to December, Let's make love to excite us, A memory to ignite us, Let's make honey, baby, soft and tender, Let's make sugar, darlin', sweet surrender. Let's make a night ro remember All life long.
THE ONLY THING THAT LOOKS GOOD ON ME IS YOU
Well, I don't look good in no Armani suits, No Gucci shoes or designer boots. I've tried the latest lines from a to z, But there's just one thing that looks good on me. The only thing I want, The only thing I need, The only thing I choose, yeah, The only thing that looks good on me ... is you. I'm not satisfied with versace style, Put those patent leather pants in the circular file. Sometimes I think I might be lookin' good, But there's only one thing that fits like it should. The only thing I want, yeah, The only thing I need, The only thing I choose, yeah, The only thing that looks good on me ... is you. Ya, it's you, it could only be you, Nobody else will ever do. Ya, baby, it's you that I stick to, Ya, we stick like glue.
A LITTLE LOVE
Some walk the straight and narrow - some walk the rocky road Some get the silver spoon and some get the heavy load There's a man in a paper box he smiles whenever we walk by We just walk a little faster and say "there but for the grace of God go I" But a little love - just a little love A little love can change it all. I've been up and down this highway and I ain't seen a road sign yet It's a cold hard world baby you gotta hang on to what you get I don't believe in miracles but that don't mean they don't come true Well I may not get to heaven but I get a little closer when I'm with you But a little love - just a little love A little love can change it all. Well I get a little tired walkin' down the street People on my side - everyone I meet But they don't know what's on my mind They don't know that they might find A little love - just a little love A little love can change it all. Right when you think you don't need love is when you need it most Even if you got the father the son and the holy ghost Well there's more to truth baby than what we know is true Yeah we wander round in the darkness But every now and then a little light shines through And a little love - just a little love A little love can change it all.
HEAVEN
Oh, thinkin' about all our younger years, There was only you and me, We were young and wild and fee. Now nothin' can take you away from me, We've been down that road before, but that's over now, You keep me comin' back for more. CHORUS: Baby, you're all that I want, When you're lyin' there in my arms I'm findin' it hard to believe We're in heaven. And love is all that I need, And I found it there in your heart. It isn't too hard to see We're in heaven. Oh, once in your life you find someone Who will turn your world around, Bring you up when you're feelin' down. Yeah, nothin' can change what you mean to me, Oh, there's lots that I could say, But just hold me now, cause our love will light the way. CHORUS I've been waitin' for so long For somethin' to arrive, For love to come along, Now our dreams are comin' true. Through the good times and the bad, Yeah, I'll be standin' there by you.
I'LL ALWAYS BE RIGHT THERE
I swear to you I'll always be there for you, There's nothin' I won't do. I promise you All my life I will live for you, We will make it through. Forever we will be Together, you and me. Oh, 'n'when I hold you, nothin' can compare, With all of my heart, you know, I'll always be right there. I believe in us, Nothin' else could ever mean so much, You're the one I trust. Our time has come, We're not two people, now we are one, Ya, you're second to none. Forever we will be Together, a family. The more I get to know you, nothin' can compare, With all of my heart, you know, I'll always be right there. Forever we will be Together, now just you and me. The more I get to know you, the more I really care, With all of my heart, you know, I'll always be ... You know I really love you, ya, nothin' can compare, For all of my life, you know, I'll always be right there. |
