I’m coming down, coming down like a monkey, but it’s alright
Like a load on your back that you can’t see, ooh but it’s alright
Try to shake it loose, cut it free, just let it go, get it away from me
Cos tonight, tonight, tonight - oh, I’m gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh
Come down in time I still hear her say
So clear in my ear like it was today
Come down in time was the message she gave
Come down in time and I’ll meet you half way
Well I don’t know if I should have heard her again
But a true love like hers is a hard love to get
And I’ve walked most all the way and I ain’t heard her call
And I’m getting to thinking if she’s coming at all
Ring, ring, why don’t you give me a call?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won’t you please understand the need in me
So, ring, ring, why don’t you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don’t you give me a call?
All around, there’s the sound of the midsummers night
Bells in the air are ringing evrywhere
I can hear footsteps that pass on the street
And lovers rushing to meet
Here alone I can only imagine the sight
Me on the town, in some bewitching gown
But I just wait at the end of the line
As bells are ringing, the bells keep ringing
Oh why, oh why can’t the next call be mine
The bells are ringing
The song they’re singing
The sound is bringing the people 'round
They hear the instructions
They follow directions
They travel great distances to the sound
They are persuaded by the music of the bells
They’re not responsible for anything they do
Oh how they pound, (Oh how they pound)
Raising the sound
O’er hill and dale
Telling their tale. (Telling their tale)
Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas, (Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas)
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas. (Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas)
I won’t dance, don’t ask me.
I won’t dance, don’t ask me.
I won’t dance, madame, with you.
My heart won’t let me do things they should do.
You know what? You’re lovely.
You know what, you’re lovely. You know what, you’re so lovely.
And, oh what you do to me.
I’m like an ocean wave that’s bumped on the shore;
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor.
I been all around this great big world
And I seen all kinds of girls
Yeah, but I couldn’t wait to get back in the States
Back to the cutest girls in the world
I dream of California
She’s up some canyon side
With boxes full of picture books
All neatly stacked and tied
As soon as I can make it
I will go to Kennedy
And I’ll draw her face with her mouth turned up
With her biggest smile for me
Revolution by night, grant me this future
Kings of the shadow on the highways of night
From San Bernadino these angels are racing
This night to your city
The host of angels, Los Angeles
Night makes right, the symbol remains
Into the darkness must, must pour the brains
In the shadow of California
You know the night time, darling (night and day)
Is the right time (night and day)
To be (night and day)
With the one you love, now (night and day)
Say now, oh baby (night and day)
When I come home baby, now (night and day)
I wanna be with the one I love, now (night and day)
You know what I’m thinking of (night and day)
If I could I would lift your burden
Cos I know how much your hurtin
But I see you getting stronger
I wish you knew how
You make me proud
But i’m not the only one
So let it out-it feels good
To let the wait the doubt the hurt
The burn that you’ve withstood
But oh,
I know you’ll make it through
There’s a host of angels watching over over you
No-one on earth could feel like this
I’m thrown and overblown with bliss
There must be an angel playing with my heart
And when I think that I’m alone
It seems there’s more of us at home
It’s a multitude of angels and they’re playing with my heart
