One Day
One day we will meet again
On that far and distant shore
And holding hands understand
That no one loved us more
One day we will meet again
After the pains and the tears
One day we will be as one
After the rain and the fears
One day we will meet again
After other loves have gone
And looking at each other
Will see our love lives on
One day we will leave it all
And walk through forest lawns
Our day will come again
Like the sunlight and the dawn
I know the song the white swan sings
You ask me why I don’t much smile
You say that I don’t laugh enough
You say I’ve got a lonesome style
You say that I act too tough
But I have learnt too many truths
And I have seen too many things
I know the hurt and pain of youth
I know the song the white swan sings
Sit awhile and I’ll talk to you
Tell you things ‘bout love and war
Of things we all fail to do
And how we all play the whore
And you tell me from all you know
About the sanctity of kings
And I will say it was ever so
I know the song the white swan sings
Holy holy is the ground
On which we build the lives we live
And yet we yield without a sound
And they take all that we can give
So tell me now my new best friend
Of all the good that mankind brings
But I’m close now to the end
I know the song the white swan sings
This thing must pass
This thing must pass
This thing must end
No more my lover
But only my friend
This thing must pass
This thing must die
No more the laughs
I only can cry
This thing must go
This thing must fall
I know you know
I’ve lost it all
This thing can’t live
In the shadow of lies
This girl/guy can’t keep
The tears from his eyes
This thing gives pleasure
This thing gave pain
This girl/guy won’t take it
If it comes back again
This girl/guy knows now
That he loves you so
But he said nothing
And allowed you to go
All things must pass
All things must pass
All things must end
Not now my lover
Only a friend
All things must change
All things must grow
I didn't see that
One day you’d go
All things are changing
All things unsure
One thing I know is
I loved you more
All lovers are special
Some last for years
Our love was fragile
And ended in tears
All lovers are special
None are mundane
One thing is certain
When they end in pain
All my love was your love
But you let it go
I watched it flourish
Now you’ve let it go
Let me down easy
Let me down easy
Let me down slow
Tell me you love me
Wont let me go
Let me down slowly
Let me down right
Tell me you love me
Love me tonight
Love me tomorrow
Love me tonight
Let me down easy
Let me down right
Love me forever
Love me today
Tell me you love me
Don’t go away
I’ll love you tomorrow
I’ll love you tonight
I wont let you down
We’ll be alright
Love me tomorrow
Don’t let me go
Love me forever
I love you so
I wanna be beside you thru’ the night.
I wanna go where the wild wind blows
I wanna go where the sunshine goes
I wanna stretch in your arms embrace
I wanna drown in your lovely face
I wanna do what I know is right
I wanna be beside you thru the night.
I need to be here alone with you
I need to learn what not to do
I need a dream I can call my own
I need a love like you at home
I need you to resign the fight
I need you to be with me tonight.
I long for your warm sweet kiss
I long for our nights of bliss
I long for the chance to be alone
I long for you in my home
I long to hold you here tonight
I long to be around you tonight.
My heart
My heart is on fire
Burns through the night
Flying ever higher
And burning too bright
My heart is a soldier
Fighting all our wars
We live all the battles
And come back for more.
My heart is an apple
For you to bite
Your lips kiss my skin
And it is so right
My heart like starlight
It twinkles above
But when the dawn comes
Will it go with your love.
My heart is a wave
Breaks on your shore
You do not love me
I come back for more
My heart it has broken
Cracked by your lies
But I am still lost
Still trapped by your eyes.
Why I cry
You talk to me
Of normal things
Of summer night
And what they bring
You tell me all
But don’t say why
Just look at me
And see me cry.
You talk and talk
But you don’t hear
In your world there’s
No hint of fear
You always win
So don’t deny
Just look at me
And see me cry.
You smile and kiss
And walk away
We’ll meet again
Another day
When you go home
I live a lie
Its because of you
That I cry.
Another dream
Another night
Another cold
Dark morning light
Another day
To live a lie
Another time
That I will cry.
We will
We will
Take all the good times
We will
Take all the fun
We will
Go where the sun shines
We will
Follow the sun.
We will
Leave the old place
We will
Seek pastures new
We will
Miss the old faces
We will
‘cos I’m with you.
How can
I touch a starlight
How can
I learn to fly
How can
It be so right
How can
We get so high.
I know you’re hurting
I know you’re hurting
Bleeding inside
I know you want
To run off and hide
I see your fears
There in your eye
I’m always here
I never ask why.
I know the pain
Is burning inside
I see the hurt
You want to hide
I see a friend
Battered and sore
Come to me now
Don’t take any more.
You have a light
Deep in your soul
All the worlds pain
Can’t take it all
You will rise again
Just take my arm
Together we’re strong
We’ll come to no harm.
Stay with me
Chorus
Stay with me
Stay with me
Oh won’t you stay with me
I know you say you’re leaving
That its time for you to go
But can’t you see I’m grieving
Hurt worse than you know
So now you say your going
You can’t take any more
Winds of change are blowing
Don’t go through that door.
Chorus
Stay with me
Stay with me
Oh won’t you stay with me.
You know that I love you
Always have and always will
But you say you’ve another
And I taste the bitter pill
How can I live without you
When everything is wrong
Will I go on without you
After you have gone
Chorus
Stay with me
Stay with me
Oh won’t you stay with me
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t shut the door
If you go away
I can’t take no more
Don’t close your mind
Don’t look away
I know love is blind
And its slipping away.
Don’t tell me I’m wrong
Don’t tell me your right
Its gone on too long
I can’t take the fight
Don’t cling to a dream
That curls up and dies
You don’t hear my screams
I don’t need your lies.

The long goodbye
This is where the story ends
This is the long goodbye
This is the road that has no end
This is the time for love to die.
This is the long goodbye
This is the vale of tears
This is the lonely road
This is the place of fears
This is the long goodbye
This is the time to leave
This is the end of love
This is the time to grieve
This is the long goodbye
This is the time to go
This is the day it ends
But how I loved you so
This is the long goodbye
This is the trail of tears
This is the vale of sighs
This is the time of fears.
This is the long goodbye
This is the long goodbye
This is the hardest time
I can’t sing a lullaby
And I can’t make you mine.
This is the time for tears
Shed them on the ground
I must be moving on
I can’t wait around.
This is the long goodbye
This is the time and day
I have cried myself dry
Now I must go away.
This is the hardest time
This is the darkest night
You were never mine
You know that I’m right.
This is the long goodbye
This is the hardest time
I can’t sing a lullaby
And I can’t make you mine.
Live in peace
When I needed sunshine I got rain
When I needed loving I got pain
Now the wind is from the west
Gonna go where I know best
All you sisters
Let us live in peace.
When I needed up I got down
When I needed you you played around
Now your sun no longer shines
I’m so glad that you’re not mine
All you brothers
Let us live in peace.
When I needed day I got night
When I needed peace I got a fight
Now the clouds are in the sky
You can just kiss me goodbye
All you people
Let us live in peace.
Would you stay.
Would you stay
If I told you that I loved you
Would you stay
Would you stay with me tonight
Would you stay
You know my love for you is true
Would you stay
Would you make the wrong things right.
Would you stay
If I changed the way I am tonight
Would you stay
If I promised to be true
Would you stay
If I walked you through the morning light
Would you stay
If you knew how I loved you.
Would you go
Walk out in the morning rain
Would you go
And leave me to my tears
Would you go
Would you not feel the pain
Would you go
And throw away the years
Would you go.
Say you love me
Say you love me
That you’ll be mine
Say you love me
‘til end of time
Say you love me
Say you’ll care
Say that you’ll
Always be there.
Say you love me
Let me hear
Say you love me
In my ear
Say you love me
Say you’ll stay
Say that you
Won’t go away.
Say you love me
Let me hear
Say you love me
Say it clear
Say you love me
Turn out the light
Say you love me
Here tonight.
Folk song
On the banks of green willow
You lay by my side
No one came near
There was no need to hide
And as I lay by you
You turned and you said
This bank needs must be
Our wedding bed.
For my mother and father
They don’t know your name
And if they see us together
Then I’ll be to blame
I’m only sixteen
And this is all new
But I know that I
Can want only you.
And so through the daytime
We loved and we lay
Until darkness came
And you went away
I never saw you
From that day to this
But all of my life
I’ll remember our kiss.
Long goodbye
So the time has come at last
When you say our love has passed
Love is like a butterfly
Make this day a long goodbye.
Now you say that you must go
And you say that I should know
Love can stay and love can fly
Make this day a long goodbye.
And now you’ll face the world alone
A broken heart without a home
There’s no light left in my sky
Make this day a long goodbye.
Just around the corner
Just around the corner
Right around the bend
Cross at the border
Keep on ‘til the end.
Just another mile
Not too far to go
Gonna make you smile
Pretty soon you’ll know.
Just hang on with me
Now the end’s in sight
Nothing now to give me
Surrender to the night.
No more lonely nightimes
Set your feelings free
Now is the right time
Give your love to me.
Tonight
I look upon you lying there
So still through the night
The hopes and fears
Of wasted years
Are ended here tonight.
When morning comes to find us
Lightens up your hair
The sun can see
That you and me
Have found a life to share.
So wake up now and listen
I have some things to say
I love you
You love me too
Don’t ever go away.
Body lies
Your body lies
By my side
No secrets now
Nothing to hide
But I saw
In your eyes
Words are true
But body lies.
Side by side
Through the night
Arms round me
Hold me tight
You can’t see
Tears in my eyes
I can feel
Your body lies.
Warm and safe
‘til break of day
Let the lover
Gently lay
I thought you
Were first prize
But I found
Your body lies.
Your body lies
Tells on you
I know what
You like to do
What I see
Makes me cry
I just see
Your body lies.
Me and you
Me and you
Hand in hand
Talking though the night
You and me
Making plans
Hope we get them right.
Chorus
And all night long
I’ll hold you
Hold on tight
To a life that’s new.
Me and you
In the dawn
In cold morning light
You and me
Start to feel
That it’s all alright.
Two of us
Against the world
Feeling all alone
Two of us
Just one life
Looking for a home.
Picture of you
I wish I had
A picture of you
To stand beside my bed
A little snap
Something new
To keep you inside my head
I wish I had
A video
Of you and me at play
Then all I’d do
When I feel sad
Would be to watch it everyday.
I wish I had
A little song
To sing about you
And all I’d do
When things went wrong
Would be to sing it all right thru’.
I wish I had
Another you
Because you’ve gone away
I hope that
You will come back
And stay with me one day.
