I made wine from the lilac tree  
Put my heart in its recipe  
It makes me see what I want to see  
and be what I want to be

In the navy  
Yes, you can sail the seven seas  
In the navy  
Yes, you can put your mind at ease  
In the navy  
Come on now, people, make a stand  
In the navy, in the navy  
Can’t you see we need a hand  
In the navy  
Come on, protect the mother land  
In the navy  
Come on and join your fellow man  
In the navy  
Come on people, and make a stand  
In the navy, in the navy, in the navy (in the navy)

Should I stay or should I go now?  
Should I stay or should I go now?  
If I go there will be trouble  
And if I stay it will be double  
So you gotta let me know  
Should I cool it or should I blow?

I really should be saying goodnight  
I really shouldn’t stay anymore  
It’s been so long since I held ya  
I’ve forgotten what love is for

I should run on the double  
I think I’m in trouble  
I think I’m in trouble

Fill my eyes with that double vision  
No disguise for that double vision  
Ooh, when it gets through to me  
It’s always new to me  
My double vision always seems to get the best of me  
The best of me…yeah-ah-ah!

I can see clearly now, the rain has gone.  
I can see all obstacles in my way.  
Gone are the gray clouds that had me down,  
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day.

I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day  
When it’s cold outside, I’ve got the month of May  
I guess you’d say, What can make me feel this way?  
My girl. Talkin’ 'bout my girl.

Oh you make my motor run, my motor run  
Gun it coming off of the line Sharona

Mugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big bumps -  
Don’t you work as hard as you play.  
Make up, break up, everything is shake up;  
Guess it had to be that way.  
Sebastian and Zal formed the ‘Spoonful;  
Michelle, John, and Denny gettin’ very tuneful.  
McGuinn and McGuire just a-catchin’ fire in L.A.,  
You know where that’s at.  
And everybody’s gettin’ fat except Mama Cass.

Don’t take your love away from me  
Don’t you leave my heart in misery  
If you go then I’ll be blue  
Cause breaking up is hard to do

Star born lovers  
Angels in the night on a highway  
They don’t look back  
Everybody’s lost the way - yeah  
The little girl wants to be an actress  
Young boys are easy riders  
They live so restless  
Restless and wild  
Restless, restless and wild

</div>

The waiter poured our memories into tiny cup  
We stumbled over words we longed to hear  
We talked about the dreams we’d lost, or given up  
When a whistle cut the night  
And shook silence from our lives  
As the last train rolled towards to the dune

Those summer nights when we were young  
We bragged of things  
We’d never done  
We were dreamers

</div>

Last year today you turn and you say  
Here’s a dream for me (but it’s a memory)  
You close your eyes, and the moon starts to rise  
And you scream for me (do you remember me?)  
I calm you, I’m with you  
What did they ever give you

[Memories in future tense](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mQmTCjVC74)  
Memories don’t make much sense

Past tense to future tense  
Let history unfold  
So ends a decade now  
What will the Nineties hold?  
You know we’re verging on the edge of an age  
Then another century will turn the page

Starlight  
I will be chasing the starlight  
Until the end of my life  
I don’t know if it’s worth it anymore

Hold you in my arms  
I just wanted to hold  
You in my arms

Sometimes you turn away form what your heart tells you is right  
And so you settle for whatever gets you through the night.  
The flame you thought was dead may suddenly begin to burn  
And broken hearts can be repaired, that’s something that you learn.

Next time you fall in love  
It better be with me,  
The way it used to be.  
Back then once when  
We touched the Starlight.
