Paradise
Esmerelda
One touch was all I needed to know
You were
the one for me
My fate and my destiny
For true love is never easy to find
I never dreamed this day
Would ever come my way
But suddenly I realized
My chance for happiness
Can't be found in some make believe world
Where
damsels are in distress
Cause paradise is any place where I can be with you
And leave behind the heartache and the pain that I've been through
Safe in
your arms
Safe from the world tonight
For you are my paradise
And I
know I could never have dreamed
A feeling so heavenly
Cause paradise is
any place where I can be with you
And leave behind the sorrow and the pain
that I've been through
Safe in your arms
Safe from the world tonight
For you are my paradise
Lady
Lady, when you're with me I'm smiling
Give me all your love
Your hands build me up when I'm sinking
Touch me and my troubles all fade
Lady, from the moment I saw you
Standing all alone
You gave all the love
that I needed
So shy, like a child who has grown
'Cause you're my lady of
the morning
Love shines in your eyes
Sparkling, clear, and lovely
You're my lady
Lady, turns me on when I'm lonely
Give me all your charm
Evenings when she lays down beside me
She takes me gently into her arms
Lady of the morning
Love shines in your eyes
Sparkling, clear, and lovely
You're my lady
Lady of the morning
Love shines in your eyes
Sparkling,
clear, and lovely
You're my ... lady
Crystal Ball
I used to like to walk the straight and narrow line
I used
to think that everything was fine
Sometimes I'd like to sit and gaze for days
through sleepless dreams
All alone and trapped in time
All alone and
trapped in time
I wonder what tomorrow has in mind for me
Or am I even in
it's mind at all
Perhaps I'll get a chance to look ahead and see
Soon as I
find myself a crystal ball
Soon as I find myself a crystal ball
Tell me,
tell me where I'm going
I don't know where I've been
Tell me, tell me,
won't you tell me
And then tell me again
My heart is breaking, my body's
aching
And I don't know where to go
Tell me, tell me, won't you tell me
I've just got to know
Crystal ball
There's so many things I need to know
Crystal ball
There's so many things I've got to know
Crystal ball
Blue Collar Man
Give me a job, give me security
Give me a chance to survive
I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line
My God, I'm hardly alive
My
mother and father, my wife and my friends
I see them laugh in my face
But
I've got the power, and I've got the will
I'm not a charity case
I'll take
those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my eye to the keyhole
If it
takes all that to be just what I am
I'm gonna be a blue collar man
Make me
an offer that I can't refuse
Make me respectable, man
This is my last time
in the unemployment line
So like it or not I'll take those
Long nights,
impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
If it takes all that to be
just what I am
I'm gonna be a blue collar man
Keeping my mind on a better
life
When happiness is only a heartbeat away
Paradise, can it be all I
heard it was
I close my eyes and maybe I'm already there
Boat On The River
Take me down to my boat on the river
I need to go down, I
need to come down
Take me back to my boat on the river
And I won't cry out
any more
Time stands still as I gaze In her waters
She eases me down,
touching me gently
With the waters that flow past my boat on the river
So
I won't cry out anymore
Oh the river is deep
The river it touches my life
like the waves on the sand
And all roads lead to Tranquillity Base
Where
the frown on my face disappears
Take me back to my boat on the river
And I
won't cry out anymore
Oh the river is wide
The river it touches my life
like the waves on the sand
And all roads lead to Tranquillity Base
Where
the frown on my face disappears
Take me back to my boat on the river
And I
won't cry out anymore
And I won't cry out anymore
And I won't cry out
anymore
Lorelei
When I think of Lorelei my head turns all around
As gentle
as a butterfly she moves without a sound
I call her on the telephone, she
says be there by eight
Tonight's the night she's moving in and I can hardly
wait
The way she moves, ooh-ooh
I gotta say
Lorelei let's live together
Brighter than the stars forever
Lorelei let's live together
Brighter than
the stars forever
Her eyes become of Paradise, she softly speaks my name
She brightens every lonely night, no one's quite the same
She calls me on the
telephone, she says be there by eight
Tonight's the night she's moving in,
it's time to celebrate
The way she moves, ooh-ooh
I gotta say
Lorelei
let's live together
Brighter than the stars forever
Lorelei let's live
together
Brighter than the stars forever
Babe
Babe, I'm leaving, I must be on my way
The time is drawing
near
My train is going, I see it in your eyes
The love, the need, your
tears
But I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me
through
Please believe me, my heart is in your hands
And I'll be missing
you.
You know it's you Babe
Whenever I get weary and I've had enough
Feel like giving up
You know it's you Babe
Giving me the courage and the
strength I need
Please believe that it's true
Babe, I love you.
You
know it's you Babe
Whenever I get weary and I've had enough
Feel like
giving up
You know it's you Babe
Giving me the courage and the strength I
need
Please believe that it's true
Babe, I love you.
Babe, I'm leaving,
I'll say it once again
Somehow try to smile
I know the feeling we're
trying to forget
If only for a while
But I'll be lonely without you
And
I'll need your love to see me through
Please believe me, my heart is in your
hands
And I'll be missing you
Babe, I love you.
Miss America
You were the apple of the public's eye as you cut the ribbon
at the local mall
A mirage for both you and us. How can it be real?
We
love your body in that photograph, your home state sure must be proud
The
queen of the United States, or have you lost your crown
Well aren't you Miss
America
Don't you Miss America
Won't you Miss America
Our love
Well
are you really who we think you are
Or does that smile seem to wear you down
This girl who you once were is screaming jump out
This dream that you must
live - a disease for which there is no cure
This roller coaster ride you're
on won't stop to let you off
Well aren't you Miss America
Don't you Miss
America
Won't you Miss America
Our love
Miss America, Miss America
Miss America, Miss America
Well it's true just take a look - The cover
sometimes makes the book
And the judges, do they ever ask to read between
your lines
And in your cage at the human zoo, they all stop to look at you
Next year, what will you do when you have been forgotten
Well aren't you Miss
America
Don't you Miss America
Won't you Miss America
Our love
Come Sail Away
I'm sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea
I've got to be free, free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board, I'm
the captain, so climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow on every shore
And
I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try to carry on
I look to the sea, reflections in the
waves spark my memory
Some happy, some sad
I think of childhood friends
and the dreams we had
We live happily forever, so the story goes
But
somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But we'll try best that we can to
carry on
A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this
song of hope, and this is what they said
They said come sail away, come sail
away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail
away with me
I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise
They
climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
Singing come sail
away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Renegade
Oh Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Law man has put an end to my running and I'm so far from my home
The jig is
up, the news is out
They finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This'll be the end today
Of the wanted man
Oh Mama, I've been years on the lam and had a high price on
my head
Lawman said 'Get him dead or alive' and it's for sure he'll see me
dead
Dear Mama I can hear you cryin', you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows and I don't have very long
The jig is
up, the news is out
They finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
The judge'll have revenge
today
On the wanted man
Oh Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm
of the law
Law man has put an end to my running and I'm so far from my home
The jig is up, the news is out
They finally found me
The renegade who had
it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This'll be the
end today
Of the wanted man
Dear John
Dear John I knew you
About as well as anyone
We were the
wild ones
So sure those days would never end
Now they're only memories my
friend
Dear John I'll see you
Some day again
I swear I saw you
On a
crowded street today
I almost called your name
Thinking of all those
yesterdays
Heaven help me
How I miss my friend
Dear John I'll see you
Some day again
There'll be a celebration
When all will be revealed
We'll have a reunion
High on a hill
Dear John how are you
God know it's
heaven where you are
Find some peace there
May it never end
Dear John
my heart knows
We'll meet again
Dear John I'll see you....
Some day
again
