By the light of the silvery moon  
I want to spoon  
To my honey, I’ll croon love’s tune  
Honey moon, keep a-shinin’ in June  
Your silvery beams will bring love’s dreams  
We’ll be cuddlin’ soon  
By the silvery moon

</div>

Somewhere there’s music, how faint the tune  
Somewhere there’s heaven, how high the moon  
There is no moon above, when love is far away too  
Until it comes true, that you love me as I love you

You gave me strength, to stand alone again  
To face the world, out on my own again  
You put me high, upon a pedestal  
So high that I could almost see eternity  
You needed me, you needed me

Oh no, not I, I will survive  
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive  
I’ve got all my life to live  
And I’ve got all my love to give and I’ll survive  
I will survive, hey, hey

I’m not a puppet on a string  
I’ll find somebody else someday  
That’s when the phone rings, and once again  
I start to pray

Let it please be him, oh dear God  
It must be him , it must be him  
Or I shall die  
Or I shall die

“Barely cold in her grave  
Barely warm in my bed  
Settling for a draw tonight  
Puppet girl, your strings are mine!”

This one is for you for you  
Only for you  
Just give in to it never think again  
I feel for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song  
It may be quite simple, but now that it’s done  
I hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words  
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world

Pleased to meet you  
Hope you my name, oh yeah  
But what’s puzzling you  
Is the nature of my game

Many a tear has to fall  
But it’s all in the game  
All in the wonderful game  
That we know as love

It just takes a little bit of this, a little bit of that  
It started with a kiss now we’re up to bath  
A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain  
I’m tellin’ you, my babe, it’s all in the game of love

Games people play  
Night or day, they’re just not matching  
What they should do  
Keeps me feelin’ blue

Been down too long  
Right, wrong, I just can’t stop it  
Spending all day  
Thinking just of you

Oh, the games people play now,  
Every night and every day now  
Never meaning what they say now,  
Never saying what they mean.

They just wile away the hours,  
In their ivory towers  
‘Til they’re covered up with flowers,  
In the back of a black limousine.

Games people play  
You take it or you leave it  
Things that they say aren’t alright  
If I promised you the moon and the stars  
Would you believe it?  
Games people play in the middle of the night

Still you wonder…  
Who’s cheatin’ who?  
Who’s being true?  
And who don’t even care any more?

It makes you wonder  
Who’s doin’ right by someone tonight?  
And who’s car is parked next door?

Long as I remember the rain been comin’ down  
Clouds of mystery pourin’ confusion on the ground  
Good men through the ages tryin’ to find the sun  
And I wonder, still I wonder, who’ll stop the rain?

Raindrops keep fallin’ on my head  
And just like the guy whose feet  
Are too big for his bed  
Nothin’ seems to fit  
Those raindrops are fallin’ on my head  
They keep fallin’

I’m no stranger to the rain  
I’m a friend of thunder  
Friend is it any wonder, lightning strikes me?

I fought with the devil  
Got down on his level  
But I never gave in, so he gave up on me…
