Too many years fighting back tears
Why can’t the past just die?
Wishing you were somehow here again
Knowing we must say, “Goodbye”
Try to forgive, teach me to live
Give me the strength to try
No more memories, no more silent tears
No more gazing across the wasted years
Help me say, “Goodbye”
Help me say, “Goodbye”
Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind
Can’t ease this pain so easily
When you can’t find the words to say
It’s hard to make it through another day
And it makes me wanna cry
And throw my hands up to the sky
So, understand
Don’t waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up, make your stand
And realize you’re living in the golden years
Run for the shadows, run for the shadows
Run for the shadows in these golden years
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is grey and yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion
You can use your illusion
Let it take you where it may
We live and learn
And then sometimes it’s best to walk away
Me I’m just here hangin’ on
It’s my only place to stay at least
For now anyway
I’ve worked too hard for my illusions
Just to throw them all away
But don’t be fooled by the radio
The TV or the magazines
They show you photographs of how your life should be
But they’re just someone else’s fantasy
So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because you never win the game
Just remember that it’s a grand illusion
And deep inside we’re all the same
I am he as you are he as you are me
And we are all together
All through’ the day
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
All through’ the night
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
Now they’re frightened of leaving it
Ev’ryone’s weaving it
Coming on strong all the time
All through’ the day I me mine
Mine, boys, mine ev’ry mountain
And dig, boys, dig 'til ya drop
Grab a pick, boys
Quick, boys
Shove in a shovel
Uncover those lovely
Pebbles that sparkle and shine
It’s gold and it’s mine, mine, mine
Gold fever
No romp ‘n rollin’ girl
And fellow stuck
‘Cause your the, gold fever
Nothin’ can help you
But the yellow stuff
What! Can stop that itchin’?
Ain’t! Around the kitchen
Gold, gold, hooked am I
Susannah, go ahead and cry
Balance the cost of the soul you lost
With the dreams you lightly sold
Are you under the power of gold?
The power of love is a curious thing
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling that’s the power of love
Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl’s dream
Make a bad one good make a wrong one right
Power of love that keeps you home at night
You don’t need money, don’t take fame
Don’t need no credit card to ride this train
It’s strong and it’s sudden and it’s cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
That’s the power of love
That’s the power of love
All you need is love, love, love,
Love is all you need.
Too tired to read another twenty pages
Too bored to see the anchorman’s face
Too young to bear the burdens of the ages
Too old to keep an innocent pace
You see me like a prism sees a candle
I’m scattered into differing hues
Reality is happening at random
You’re warming up the yellows and blues
Love is not the only thing
It’s the best thing
Love is never everything
But it’s the best thing
Love is a many-splendored thing
It’s the April rose
That only grows in the early spring
You turn to touch me to hold me fast.
You turn to touch me to whisper your love.
And here are the words of those who dared to speak
Of this open noisy big brilliant love
Which is all I have to give.
Give
Give
Give
Take…take from nothing
Take…take from everything
Take…take from nothing
Make it, make it, make it something
So it’s more, so much more than I need
So much more, so much more
More than the greatest love the world has known,
This is the love I give to you alone,
More than the simple words I try to say,
I only live to love you more each day.
Every time I tried to tell you,
The words just came out wrong,
So I’ll have to say I love you in a song.
Darling, je vous aime beaucoup
Je ne sais pas what to do
You know you’ve completely
Stolen my heart
