I Love You  
With All My Heart  
Only You Do I Adore  
And to Know  
That You Love Me  
Only Makes Me Love You More

Every day’s a new day in love with you  
With each day comes a new way of loving you  
Every time I kiss your lip my mind starts to wander  
If all my dreams come true  
I’ll be spending time with you  
Oh, I love you more today than yesterday  
But not as much as tomorrow  
I love you more today than yesterday  
But, darling, not as much as tomorrow

Well I keep holdin’ on to yesterday  
I keep holdin’ on enough to say  
That I’m wrong

I keep thinkin’ that I’m lonely  
But it’s only missing you inside  
Days that we were once together  
Seems they’ll never come alive

</div>

A fool will lose tomorrow reaching back for yesterday  
I won’t turn my head in sorrow if you should go away  
I’ll stand here and remember just how good it’s been  
And I know I’ll never love this way again

</div>

Here you come again  
Just when I’ve begun to get myself together  
You waltz right in the door  
Just like you’ve done before  
And wrap my heart 'round your little finger

And here I go again on my own  
Going down the only road I’ve ever known  
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone  
And I’ve made up my mind  
I ain’t wasting no more time

</div>

So waste your time  
On people who don’t know which way to go  
They’ll never take you up  
Never take you up in the sky  
Because it’s all in the mind

Goin’ up to the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky)  
That’s where I’m gonna go when I die (when I die)  
When I die and they lay me to rest  
I’m gonna go to the place that’s the best

If it’s peace you find in dying  
And if dying time is near  
Just bundle up my coffin cause  
It’s cold way down there  
I hear that’s it’s cold way down there  
Yeah, crazy cold way down there

This coffin was made from a tree  
Please hammer a nail in for me

The bottle slipped right through  
Plague pits  
Now underground  
Take me down  
Down  
Put me in chains

Up from the grave He arose  
With a mighty triumph o’er His foes,  
He arose a Victor from the dark domain,  
And He lives forever,  
With His saints to reign.  
He arose! He arose!  
Hallelujah! Christ arose!

Only love can make it rain  
The way the beach is kissed by the sea  
Only love can make it rain  
Like the sweat of lovers laying in the fields

Love, reign o’er me  
Love, reign o’er me  
Rain on me  
Rain on me

These are the seasons of emotion  
And like the wind, they rise and fall  
This is the wonder of devotion  
I see the torch  
We all must hold  
This is the mystery of the quotient, quotient  
Upon us all, upon us all, a little rain must fall  
Just a little rain, oh, yeah

When the clouds overhead  
Want to capture your heart  
Let them know you are strong  
You will not be caught  
The clouds will blow away  
After the rain  
After the rain

Now the sun is rising on your freedom my child  
Is there none of your love alive?  
Every door you open closes on me  
I don’t know if I can survive  
Knowing part of your love was lies

I don’t mind spending every day,  
Out on your corner in the pourin’ rain,  
Look for the girl with the broken smile,  
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile…  
She will be loved,  
She will be loved…
