Money talks,  
But it don’t sing and dance and it don’t walk.  
And long as I can have you here with me,  
I’d much rather be  
Forever in blue jeans.

I knew him another way  
I knew him another day  
In some ways he’d forgotten me  
In many ways he got to me

I turned away so he couldn’t see  
I turned away it could never be  
I never thought he would walk away  
But I lost him again yesterday

Blue-gray eyes they change with the color  
Change with the sun, they run with the sight  
Change with the wind but they’re always bright  
Bright eyes Blue Denim  
Bright eyes Blue Denim

It’s pretty obvious that you’ve got a crush (you know)  
That magic in your pants, it’s making me blush (f’sho)

It’s a scene from the movie.  
It’s an aisle at the store.  
It’s the view of a canyon.  
The sound of a sword.

It’s an orchard of peaches.  
Your wife in the shower.  
While you wait for appointments.  
Or as you walk through the park.

Oh. uh oh. Erection.

</div>

Don’t write a letter when you want to leave  
Don’t call me at 3 am from a friend’s apartment.  
I’d like to choose how I hear the news.  
Take me to a park that’s covered with trees.  
Tell me on a Sunday please.

Let me down easy, no big song and dance.  
No long faces, no long looks, no deep conversation.  
I know the way we should spend that day.  
Take me to a zoo that’s got chimpanzees.  
Tell me on a Sunday please.

Touch me in the morning  
Then just walk away  
We don’t have tomorrow  
But we had yesterday  
Hey, wasn’t it me who said  
That nothin’ good’s gonna last forever  
And wasn’t it me who said  
Let’s just be glad for the time together  
Must’ve been hard to tell me  
That you’ve given all you had to give  
I can understand your feelin’ that way  
Ev’rybody’s got their life to live

All life we work but work is a bore,  
If life’s for living, what’s living for?

I gave my love a cherry without a stone  
I gave my love a chicken without a bone  
I gave my love a ring that had no end  
I gave my love a baby with no crying

(song ends prematurely as guitar gets smashed)

Don’t get me wrong baby, I don’t mean to complain,  
But if you keep on talking you’re gonna drive me insane.  
You keep on talking all around the clock.  
I’m begging you, baby, won’t you please stop?!?

You talk too much!  
I can’t believe the things that you say every day.  
If you keep on talking, baby,  
You know you’re bound to drive me away.

You start a conversation you can’t even finish it.  
You’re talkin’ a lot, but you’re not sayin’ anything.  
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed.  
Say something once, why say it again?

Love is like a dying ember.  
Where only memories remain.  
Through the ages I’ll remember-  
Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain.

</div>

love, I don’t like to see so much pain  
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away  
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival  
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

and all my instincts, they return  
and the grand facade, so soon will burn  
without a noise, without my pride  
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes  
the light the heat  
in your eyes  
I am complete  
in your eyes  
I see the doorway to a thousand churches  
in your eyes  
the resolution of all the fruitless searches  
in your eyes  
I see the light and the heat  
in your eyes  
oh, I want to be that complete  
I want to touch the light,  
the heat I see in your eyes  
in your eyes in your eyes  
in your eyes in your eyes  
in your eyes in your eyes

Listen, hear the sound  
The child awakes  
Wonder all around  
The child awakes  
Now in his life  
He never must be lost  
No thoughts must deceive him  
In life he must trust

With the eyes of a child  
You must come out and see  
That your world’s spinning 'round  
And through life you will be  
A small part  
Of a hope  
Of a love  
That exists  
In the eyes of a child you will see

Whatever it is I do, I try to think about you.  
I have a love for you that nothing hides.  
Whatever it is I do, I’m only thinking of you.  
I hope you look at me through patient eyes.
