Everytime I see her face
On the street in the hollow in the bend
I see her in my mind and then
I go down the road not taken…again
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can’t plant me in your penthouse
I’m going back to my plough.
One of these days I’m gonna stop my listening
Gonna raise my head up high
One of these days I’m gonna raise my glistening wings and fly
But that day will have to wait for a while
Baby I’m only society’s child
When we’re older things may change
But for now this is the way, they must remain
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
If you had not fallen, then I would not have found you,
Angel flying too close to the ground,
And I patched up your broken wing and hung around awhile,
Trying to keep your spirits up and your fever down.
You fooled me with your kisses
You cheated and you schemed
Heaven knows how you lied to me
You’re not the way you seemed
You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You’re the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
The devil in disguise
Baby please, please don’t take your love from me
I am yours for ever more, 'till eternity
Silently please, listen to the words I say
I’m not talking just for play, listen to me please
Heaven knows it’s not the way it should be
And heaven knows it’ s not the way it could be
Don’t you know there’s no need to leave
Heaven knows I never want to leave you
Heaven knows I only want to please you
Don’t you know love is what I need
Stay, Ah, Just a little bit longer.
Please, please, please, please, please tell me that you’re gonna.
Now, Your Daddy don’t mind,
And your Mommy don’t mind
If we have another dance here: just one more,
One, more time,
Oh, won’t you stay just a little bit longer,
Please let me stay here, please say that you will.
But if you try to go alone
Don’t think I’ll understand
Stay with me, stay with me
You said, “you caught me cause you want me
And one day I’ll let you go”
You try to give away a keeper
Or keep me 'cause you know you’re just so
Scared to lose
And you say,
“Stay”
You say
I only hear what I want to
I’d sing any song your heart desires.
I would sing out loud of love’s sweet fires.
Oo, I’d do all this and so much more.
If you’ll just stay with me awhile.
I am singin’ in the rain,
Just singin’ in the rain,
What a glorious day,
I’m so happy again…
Sing
Sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things, not bad
Sing of happy, not sad
I love to sing-a
About the moon-a and the June-a and the spring-a,
I love to sing-a,
About a sky of blue-a, or a tea for two-a,
Anything-a with a swing-a to an “I love you-a,”
I love to, I love to sing!
It’s a satellite moon
It’s a plagerised tune
That duck on the lake’s a decoy
There’s a sodium glare
In the purified air
And the girl in my arms
Is Mabel Figworthy and if she says 'Oh really’ once more I will break her neck!
Say, its only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn’t be make-believe
If you believed in me
My one and only prayer is that some day you’ll care,
My hopes, my dreams come true, my one and only you.
No one will ever know how much I love you so
My only prayer will be someday you’ll care for me
But it’s o-only make believe.
I believe for every drop of rain that falls
A flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night
A candle glows
I believe for everyone that goes astray
Someone will come to show the way
Show me the way to go home
I’m tired and I wanna go to bed
I had a little drink about an hour ago
And it’s gone right to my head
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
But you turned into a lover and
mother what a lover, you wore me out
All you did was wreck my bed
and in the morning kick me in the head
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried anymore
