SONGBIRD
SONGBIRD SING A SONG TO ME
IVE BEEN WAITING PATIENTLY
THERES A JOY YOU BRING
EVERYTIME YOU START TO SING
THE BLUEBIRD AND THE ORIOLE
SING EACH SONG WITH ALL THEIR SOUL
AND THE STARLING TOO
THEY SING OUT THEIR HEARTS FOR YOU
DON’T YOU BE ANNOYED
THEY’RE TO BE ENJOYED
LOVE THE SOUND THAT’S HEARD
IT’S A SIN TO KILL A MONKINGBIRD
IF THEY ALL WOULD GO AWAY
THERE’S A SILENCE THAT WOULD FOLLOW
KEEP THEM HERE TO STAY
RIGHT WHERE THEY BELONG
SINGING OUT THEIR SONG
SONGBIRD SING A SONG WITH ME
YOU CAN SING THE HARMONY
AND WE’LL SING IT CLEAR
LOUD ENOUGH FOR ALL TO HEAR
DON’T YOU BE ANNOYED
WE’RE TO BE ENJOYED
LOVE THE SOUND THAT’S HEARD
IT’S A SIN TO KILL A MOKINGBIRD

IN MY DREAMS
I SEE YOU
IN MY SLEEP AT NIGHT I
KISS YOUR FACE IN MY DREAMS
THERE YOU ARE
SMILING UP AT ME AND
I SEE LOVE IN YOUR EYES
I SEE EVERYTHING
ALL THE JOY YOU BRING
HOLD ME CLOSE
PRESS YOUR FACE TO MINE AND
WHISPER INTO MY EAR
WORDS OF LOVE
TELL ME YOU NEED ME I
WANT YOU HERE BY MY SIDE
IN MY DREAMS YOU FALL INTO MY WAITING OPEN ARMS
IN MY DREAMS I AM WITH YOU
IN MY DREAMS I AM WITH YOU
STAY WITH ME
JUST A WHILE LONGER I
ONLY HAVE UNTIL DAWN
TAKE MY HAND
HOLD TO IT TIGHTLY AND
NEVER LET ME GO
IN MY DREAMS WE ARE TOGETHER UNTIL THE END OF TIME
IN MY DREAMS I AM WITH YOU
IN MY DREAMS I AM WITH YOU
IN MY DREAMS I AM WITH YOU
IN MY DREAMS I AM WITH YOU

FOREVER AND A DAY
I BELIEVED IT WHEN YOU SAID
THERE WERE VOICES IN YOUR HEAD
CAUSE I HEARD THOSE VOICES TOO
TELLING ME
I SHOULD BE WITH YOU
THERE WERE MANY THING TO SEE
ON THE PATH YOU SHARED WITH ME
AS WE FOUND THE WAY TO GO
ON OUR OWN
ALL THOSE YEARS AGO
NOW THE TIME IS PASSING BY
IN THE BLINKING OF AN EYE
AS WE FACE THE SETTING SUN
KNOWING OUR
LOVE WILL STILL GO ON
SO NOW HERE WE ARE MY FRIEND
STILL TOGETHER IN THE END
AND WE REALIZE THE WAY
WE WILL STAY
FOREVER AND A DAY

THE NIGHT IS LONG
HERE ALL THINGS THAT I SEE
BRING WORDS THAT COME TO ME
AND EVERYTHING I KNOW
I SHAPE TO HELP ME GROW
HERE PASSION BRINGS RELEASE
REASON BRINGS ME PEACE
AS I PERFORM IN MEASURED TIME AND PLACE
TO GIVE SORROW WORDS AND SADNESS GRACE
I PRAY THAT HEAVEN LOOKS UPON MY WAY
FOR THE NIGHT IS LONG THAT NEVER FINDS THE DAY
ALL I EVER WANTED HERE
WAS TO MAKE THIS LOVE APPEAR
FIND A STORY I COULD TELL
AND TO WRITE THE MUSIC WELL
HERE WITHIN THE SONG
IS WHERE I BELONG
SO I PERFORM IN MEASURED TIME AND PLACE
TO GIVE SORROW WORDS AND SADNESS GRACE
I PRAY THAT HEAVEN LOOKS UPON MY WAY
FOR THE NIGHT IS LONG THAT NEVER FINDS THE DAY
YES THE NIGHT IS LONG THAT NEVER FINDS THE DAY

THE FALL
WALKING DOWN A PATH I’D LEFT BEHIND
IMAGES OF AUTUMN FILL MY MIND
RAYS OF LIGHT ARE BREAKING THROUGH THE TREES
TURNING LEAVES ARE CARRIED ON THE BREEZE
TWIRLING SOFTLY FALLING ALL AROUND
LAY A TAPESTRY UPON THE GROUND
CAPTURED I AM LOST IN LIGHTS ARRAY
STILL MY HEART AND TAKE MY BREATH AWAY
SEE THE WONDER OF IT ALL
IN THE MOVEMENT TO BE SMALL
OF THE FALL
FEW THINGS IN THIS WORLD ARE SO SUBLIME
MARKING OFF THE PASSAGES OF TIME
LETTING GO OF LIFE TO MAKE IT STRONG
THIS IS OF THE EARTH WE LIVE UPON
SEE THE WONDER OF IT ALL
IN THE MOVEMENT TO BE SMALL
OF THE FALL

TONIGHT TONIGHT
SING A SONG OF LOVING YOU TONIGHT
SING OF HOW YOU SET MY HEART ALIGHT
OF THE JOY THAT YOU BRING
HOW IT MAKES ME WANT TO SING
SING A SONG OF LOVING YOU TONIGHT
SEARCHING DEEP WITHIN MY VERY SOUL
FOR THE WORDS TO LET MY FEELINGS SHOW
HOW I LOVE THE THINGS YOU DO
HOW IM SO IN LOVE WITH YOU
SING A SONG OF LOVING YOU TONIGHT
TELL THE WORLD HOW EVERYTHING IS RIGHT
LET THEM KNOW THAT YOUR ALIVE UNITE
AND AS ONE WE’LL SING THIS SONG
SING IT LOUD AND SING IT STRONG
SING ALONG WITH ME INTO THE NIGHT
TONIGHT
TONIGHT
SING ALONG WITH ME INTO THE NIGHT
TONIGHT
TONIGHT
SING ALONG WITH ME INTO THE NIGHT

SING OUT STRONG
TONIGHT

AFTER ALL
IT’S A GOOD THING THE GROUND BROKE MY FALL
I MUST HAVE STOOD WAY TOO TALL
WITH MY HEAD UP IN THE CLOUDS
STANDING STRAIGHT STEEP AND PROUD
BUT PRIDE COMES BEFORE A FALL
THAT BRINGS OUT THE HUMBLE IN US ALL
ALL THAT I FOUND ON MY WAY
I BELIEVED WERE HERE TO STAY
BUT SOON ENOUGH I CAME TO KNOW
HOW HARD THEY WERE TO LET GO
SUCH A LOSS I CAN’T RECALL
BUT IT LEFT INSIDE OF ME
WHAT’S RIGHT IN ME
FOR ALWAYS
AFTER ALL
AFTER ALL
AFTER ALL
AFTER ALL
TURNS OUT WHAT MAKES ME SO STRONG
ARE THINGS I’VE HAD ALL ALONG
AND NOW IT’S EASY TO SEE
I CANT LOOSE WHAT’S PART OF ME
I LET GO OF THE PAST
AND HOLD ON TO WHAT WILL LAST
FIND THE GREAT WITH WHAT IS SMALL
LOOK TO THE RISING SUN
A NEW DAY DAWN’S
I’VE OVERCOME
ALL THESE DESIRES
CLIMBING HIGHER
EVER HIGHER
AFTER ALL
AFTER ALL
AFTER ALL
AFTER ALL

SIDE BY SIDE
YOU LOVED THE SUN
I DID TOO
IT LOVED US BACK
ME AND YOU
AND FOR A WHILE
YOU AND I
LET THE WORLD
PASS US BY
WE LAID BENEATH
THAT BIG SUN
AND LAUGHED ABOUT
THINGS WEVE DONE
BUT SPOKE NOT WORDS
TO BE VOWED
LOVE FOR LOVE WAS
NOT ALLOWED
BUT WE LOVED THE SUN
AND WE LOVED AS ONE
YOU SANG THE WORDS TO ME
IN PERFECT HARMONY
YOU WERE THE ONE
BUT WHATS DONE IS DONE
SOME THINGS ARE NOT TO BE
SLEEP ETERNALLY
SO LIFE GOES ON
WITHOUT YOU HERE
SUMMERS GONE AND
WINTERS NEAR
AND THE SUN
FOR SORROW
HIDES ITS HEAD AND
WILL NOT SHOW
BUT EVEN SUNS
DIE ONE DAY
EVERY STAR WILL
FADE AWAY
AND ALL THAT LIVED
WILL HAVE DIED
BUT I WAS ONCE
BY YOUR SIDE
WE WERE HERE
SIDE BY SIDE

BLACK MAGIC
AS VENUS REALIGNS WITH MARS
MY FATE GETS WRITTEN IN THE STARS
WITH THE BLACK MAGIC THAT YOU KNOW
I FEEL AS IF IVE LOST CONTROL
HYPNOTIC STARE ENCHANTED AIR
TOUCH ME TO MY VERY SOUL
UNDER THIS GREAT BIG WAXING MOON
YOU LIGHT A CANDLE TO MY DOOM
YOU CALL MY NAME
IM NOT THE SAME
MY DAYS ARE NUMBERED ALL TO SOON
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I DID NOT SEE
IVE BEEN HELD CAPTIVE FROM THE START
BUT I DO KNOW WHAT YOU DID TO ME
THE BURNING PASSION IN MY HEART
IN MY HEART
THIS IS SOMETHING
THAT I DID NOT SEE
IVE BEEN HELD CAPTIVE FROM THE START
BUT I DO KNOW WHAT YOU DID TO ME
WHEN YOU CAST A SPELL UPON MY HEART
ON MY HEART
ON MY HEART
ON MY HEART
ON MY HEART

COURAGE
WELL INTO THE WANING HOURS I WAIT
QUIET DESPERATION AS MY FATE
FOR TOO LONG NOW THIS HAS BEEN MY WAY
ENDS TODAY
USE WHAT WILL I HAVE TO CARRY ON
FIND ANOTHER PATH TO WALK UPON
CROSS THE WATER INTO THE UNKNOWN
ON MY OWN
TO BE TURNED AND TOSSED
IN A WORLD SO LOST
DARKNESS EVERYWHERE I SEE
MAY THE COURAGE TO BE FREE
COME TO ME
TO BE TURNED AND TOSSED
IN A WORLD SO LOST
THIS IS NOT MY DESTINY
MAY THE COURAGE TO BE FREE
COME TO ME
