We Can Fly

See how the fluffy clouds move by us
See how the morning mist can hide us away
Another day is so much fun
Isn't it groovy in a daydream?
Doesn't the day seem like it could never end
And so my friend, we're one
Maybe it's funny, how I can feel so sunny
When you're beside me, we can fly

Hey, Mr. Wind, just keep us sailing
High in the sky, there's no cares
Yes, we'll have fun, so everyone, come on!
Hey you, on the ground!
Take a look up and see what we've found
Nothing to tie us
Bluebirds come up to guide us
When you're beside me, we can fly
Oh, we can fly, we can fly
Hey, everyone on the ground, let's fly!

 

The Rain, The Park And Other Things

I saw her sitting in the rain
Raindrops falling on her
She didn't seem to care
She sat there and smiled at me
Then I knew she could make me happy
(She could make me very happy)
Flowers in her hair
Flowers everywhere

I love the flower girl
Oh, I don't know just why
She simply caught my eyes
I love the flower girl
She seemed so sweet and kind
She crept into my mind

I knew I had to say hello
(Raindrop, raindrop)
She smiled up at me
Then she took my hand
And we walked through the park alone
Then I knew she had made me happy
(She had made me very happy)
Flowers in her hair
Flowers everywhere

I love the flower girl
Oh, I don't know just why
She simply caught my eye
I love the flower girl
She seemed so sweet and kind
She crept into my mind

Suddenly the sun broke through
(See the sun)
I turned around, she was gone
(Where did she go?)
And all I had left was one little flower in my hair
But I knew she had made me happy
(She had made me very happy)
Flowers in her hair
Flowers everywhere

I love the flower girl
Was she reality
Or just a dream to me?
I love the flower girl
Her love showed me the way
To find a sunny day

I love the flower girl
Was she reality
Or just a dream to me?

Bitter Honey

I should have known you would treat me this way
I shoulda known, I should have stayed alone
If I just used my head, I'd have sent you away
If only somehow, I knew what I know now

Your love is bitter honey, sweet and sour
Bitter honey, I sometimes feel
Bitter honey, I know your power
I've asked you to leave, but never let you
I learned to forgive, but not forget you

It must be love that has kept me this way
It made me a slave, it made me behave
It's not love at its best, but it could be someday
I'll wait and I'll see, you're worth it to me

I love you, bitter honey, sweet and sour
Bitter honey, you sometimes think
Bitter honey, I know your power
I've asked you to leave, but never let you
I learned to forgive, but not forget you

Bitter honey, sweet and sour
Bitter honey, you sometimes think
Bitter honey, I know your power
Bitter honey, I've felt your sting
Bitter honey, sweet and sour
Bitter honey

Always You

In the world so full of people who all have nothing to say
In a world where it's almost the rule
To be hateful, ungrateful and cool
I don't think I'd make it, I couldn't take it
But there's always you
Thank God for you

When I stop and watch the people who come and go everyday
Yours is always the one face I find
Love is helpful and hopeful and kind
And sometimes I feel the nightmare is real
But there's always you
Thank God for you

First you plant your gentle goodness
And then you promise to stay
And I can't feel down very long
We're together whatever goes wrong
Today maybe sorrow, but then tomorrow
There will still be, there will still be
There will still be you
There's always you
Thank God for you
There's always you
Thank God for you
There's always you
Thank God for you

Only Me

In a make-believe world I've known
Lives a fellow that I would like to be
With a heart that is made of stone
Wish that he could be me

And I turned my back on love
And I give no pity or sympathy
Still I remain only me, only me

See the man I pretend to be
Well-protected, he never learnt to cry
There's the man I pretend to be
Lives alone and a lie

But contentment is not real
And the worst is better than make-believe
Now I deceive only me, only me

As long as I try to be alone
Cause I try too hard, but I fail
There's something inside of me, calling me
"Don't run away, stay, stay with love"

See the man that I try to be
Watch him stumble and watch him fall behind
Watch him fumble inside of me
Drifting out of my mind

And the shadow slips away
And the sunshine roasting inside of me
Still I remain only me, only me
Only me, only me
Only me, only me

Just What I've Been Looking For

I think I need someone, someone like you
To get me on when I'm slowing down
The things that you believe sound good to me
And I believe love can still be found
There never was a night like this
There's so much love to give in a kiss
Now I want you close to me

You're just what I've been looking for
Girl, you're just what I've been looking for
I'm ready to go with you
I've never felt close like this before
Just being alone with you makes me want you more

You know it's hard to find someone like you
To light the way when the day is done
I know that I can do something for you
And that in no time love will turn us on

I've never had a love like this
It's growing stronger with each kiss
Now I want you all the time

You're just what I've been looking for
Hey, girl, you're just what I've been looking for
I'm ready to go with you
I've never felt close like this before
Just being alone with you makes me want you more

Girl, you're just what I've been looking for
Girl, you're just what I've been looking for
Girl, you're just what I've been looking for

Poto Flavus

(Instrumental)

Can I Go

Somewhere a childhood still belongs to you
Back where a friend is singing songs to you, did you know?
You know your way around in your memory
Back in the playground of what used to be, can I go?

If you were hiding when I came along
Give me the chance to try and find you
Take me along when you're ready to go
Give me your mind, and I'll take you back to the time
When we talked in nursery rhyme
Whenever people wouldn't go

It doesn't matter how you measure it
Time disappears but you can treasure it even so
Run through the sunshine, tell me when you see
All of the things that made you happy
Introduce me to the person I know

Give me your hand, and I'll take you back to the land
Where together we once planned
Whatever faces we now show

There is a reason for reality
One never sees until finality, this I know
Run through the sunshine, tell me when you see
All of the things that made you happy
Introduce me to the person I know
Run through the sunshine, tell me when you see
All of the things that made you happy
Introduce me to the person I know
Run through the sunshine, tell me when you see
All of the things that made you happy
Introduce me to the person I know

Treasure Of San Miguel

(Instrumental)

The Time Has Come

The time has come for standing unashamed
A time for feeling that mothers never named
No more the child, you're changing everyday
Into the woman I knew you'd be someday

I've waited patiently for you to prove your understanding
Some sign of willingness to share your love with me
Just when I thought I'd lost, you whispered "Come and lay beside me"
You've come around, you've come around

And now a time of learning as we live
A time for sharing the pleasures we can give
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I've waited patiently for you to prove your understanding
Some sign of willingness to share your love with me
Just when I thought I'd lost, you whispered "Come and lay beside me"
Oh Lord, you've come around, you've come around
Yeah, yeah

I've waited patiently for you to prove your understanding
Some sign of willingness to share your love with me
Just when I thought I'd lost, you whispered "Come and lay beside me"

Sea Of Tears

Sailing on a sea of tears
Alone and feeling kind of blue without you
So I'll be sailing far away, far away to stay
To stay and cry and try and try to find someone
Who maybe will fun again
And maybe find a friend who's true

And so I'm sailing on a sea of tears
Alone and blue because of you
Can't you see that I am sailing on and on
And night turns into dawn
And day meets dawn and dusk moves on
And on and on I pray for someone just like you
But that's the worst thing I could do
Because I'm sailing

Sailing on a sea of tears
Alone and feeling kind of blue without you
So I'll be sailing far away, far away to stay
To stay and cry and try and try to find someone
Who maybe will fun again
And maybe find a friend who's true

 

Milk And Honey

In the land of milk and honey
Everything is fine there
In the land of milk and honey
Water tastes like wine there

So come with me and we'll see together
That we were meant only for each other
Cause in the land of milk and honey
Lovers last forever

In the land of milk and honey
Lovers never quarrel
In the land of milk and honey
Lover knows no sorrow

So come with me and we'll see together
That we were meant only for each other
Cause in the land of milk and honey
Lovers last forever
Lovers last forever

So when all your troubles surround you, you're there
Then in my arms, I'll take you and keep you there
We'll feel no cares

In the land of milk and honey
Our love is a treasure
In the land of milk and honey
Love there is a pleasure

So come with me and we'll see together
That we were meant only for each other
Cause in the land of milk and honey
Lovers last forever
Lovers last forever

It's Now Winter's Day

Everyone is warm inside, their houses in the snow
The mercury is dropping down to minus 10 below
Outside it's chilling, but inside it's thrilling
With fireplaces burning, and records that keep turning

Gone is the green grass, the trees have turned brown
The sky has gone grey, it's now winter's day
The parks, they are empty, no squeaks from the swings
No kids are at play, it's now winter's day

And here we are, snuggled warm in each others' arms
Listening to silent sound as the snow pats the ground
Perfumed hair that I smell, essence that I like so well

You are my winter, the days and the nights
In our hideaway, it's now winter's day
Our love will grow stronger amid winter's chill
Inside we will play, it's now winter's day

And everyone is warm inside, their houses in the snow
The mercury is dropping down to minus 10 below
Outside it's chilling, but inside it's thrilling
With fireplaces burning, and records that keep turning

Mmm....

 

Rumour

Tell me you have someone new
Well, I don't think a word is true
I know that all the other guys
Will laugh at me and tell me lies

Hey, hey, silly rumours

I know that when these rumours spread
The truth is there, so use your head
Because your love can't change that way
It just can't happen in a day

Hey, hey, silly rumours

Rumours around, everywhere
Your love is gone, and you don't care
But I don't know the truth of what they say
I'll love you girl, even this way

Hey, hey, silly rumours

You tell me you have someone new
But I don't think a word is true
I know that all the other guys
Will laugh at me and tell me lies

Say hey, silly rumours

My Happiness Day

This is one of my happiness days
So very fleeting are these moments
And so, what my heart says, I will obey
This is one of my happiness days

This is the way that I feel on my happiness days
Contentment just seems to fill everything with her rays
Oh, what a pleasure it is just to be
Me

This is one of my happiness days
So very fleeting are these moments
And so, what my heart says, I will obey
This is one of my happiness days

I know that my feelings tomorrow won't be like today
But that comes tomorrow, enhancement I'll borrow today
Whenever my moments are sad, I will remember
My happiness day, my happiness day
My happiness day, my happiness day
My happiness day, my happiness day

 

From You Unto Us

Right away, right away
Far across your wind-blown mind into the deadly night ahead
Chased by fears and sorrows, afraid of what tomorrow brings
So turn and run away, run away
From all your fears of you and what you taught me, thought control
Those are your impressions of this old world you're passing through

Look up and see the dawn above
With crystal mist and rotten love
And I am earth and you are heaven
And we are universal love

Right away, right away
Far across your wind-blown mind into the deadly night ahead
Chased by fears and sorrows, afraid of what tomorrow brings

Would You Like To Go

Would you like to go? Would you like to go?
Would you like to go? Would you like to go?
Back to the land that you and I once knew
Would you like to go? Would you like to go?
Back to the land that you and I once knew

Where prophets play electric guitars
Plugged into the stars that shine
For you and I
Your twinkling eye invites me to bring you

Would you like to go? Would you like to go?
Would you like to go? Would you like to go?
Back to the land that you and I once knew
Would you like to go? Would you like to go?
Back to the land that you and I once knew

Where choruses of angelic hosts sing "Hallelujah"
With portable phonographs made in Japan, selling for less
And calling me to you

Would you like to go? Would you like to go?
Would you like to go? Would you like to go?
Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah
Would you like to go? Would you like to go?
Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah ooh

We'll fly into the Peking mists
And have our backs scratched by a smile
A while ago I started to begin a song
I hope it won't take long

Would you like to go? Would you like to go?
Would you like to go? Got the guts to go?
Only we will know.

 

Misty Mirage

Standing by the ocean, lost in time
Fog rolls in, and misties up my mind
And the seagull's cry's changed to robin's sighs
I know you're here with me

Wriggling toes in cold, wet sand
Sparkling crystal in the palm of my hand
And the seagull's cry's changed to robin's sighs
I know you're here with me

Our love is like the misty sea
Turned to fantasy by you and me
We see what we want to see
While the rest of the world gets lost in the fog
The world gets lost in the fog

Leaning in my misty place
Kissing dewdrops from your face
And I'm standing here, everything is clear
I know you're here with me

Our love is like the misty sea
Turned to fantasy by you and me
We see what we want to see
While the rest of this earth is lost in the fog
The rest of this earth is lost in the fog

My World Fell Down

Just like a breath of spring
You came my way
I heard a bluebird sing
But not today

Cause it's wintertime
And the leaves are brown
Since you went away
My world fell down

I see your suitcase lying
Packed up to go
I stop myself from crying
How I don't know

Cause it's wintertime
And the leaves are brown
Since you went away
My world fell down

Wish I didn't feel like winter
Cause spring's a better thing, I know
I know I'd feel so much better
If I could only let her go

Cause it's wintertime
And the leaves are brown
Since you went away
My world fell down

Cause it's wintertime
And the leaves are brown
Since you went away
My world fell down

 

You'll Be Needing Me Baby

You'll be needing me, baby
When your roving days are done, oh yeah
You'll be needing me, baby
When you find that I'm the one

And I know, yes, I know
That my dreams will all come true
Oh yeah, you'll be needing me, baby
Like I need you, yes, you will

You'll be wanting me, baby
When those others pass you by, oh yeah
You'll be wanting me, baby
When you sit alone and cry

And I'll wait, yes, I'll wait
But I hope it's not too late
Oh yeah, you'll be needing me, baby
Like I need you, yes, you will

And I know, yes, I know
That my dreams will all come true
Oh yeah, you'll be needing me, baby
Like I need you, yes, you will

Kites Are Fun

I like flying, flying kites, flying kites, flying kites
Kites are fun, kites are fun, kites are fun

See my kite, it's fun, see my kite
It's green and white
Laughing in its distant flight
All that's between us is a little yellow string
But we like each other more than anything
And we run along together in the field behind my house
And the little drops of rain caress our face and wash my house
And we'd like to be a zillion miles away from everyone
Cause Mom and Dad and Uncle Bill don't realise

Kites are fun, kites are fun, kites are fun

See my kite, it's fun, see my kite
It's green and white
Laughing in its distant flight
All that's between us is a little yellow string
But we like each other more than anything
And we run along together through the field behind my house
And the little drops of rain caress our face and wash my house
And we'd like to be a zillion miles away from everyone
Cause Mom and Dad and Uncle Bill don't realise

I like flying, flying kites, flying kites
Kites are fun, kites are fun, kites are fun, kites are fun
See my kite, it's fun (See my kite, it's fun)
See my kite, it's fun (See my kite, it's fun)
See my kite, it's fun (See my kite, it's fun)

 

A Man And A Woman

When hearts are passing in the night, in the lonely night
And memoirs hold each other tight, oh so very tight
And take the chance that in the light, in tomorrow's light
They'll stay together, so much in love

And in the silence of the mist, of the morning mist
When lips are waiting to be kissed, longing to be kissed
Where is the reason to resist, and deny a kiss
That holds a promise of happiness

Though yesterday still surrounds you
With a warm and precious memory
Maybe before tomorrow
We can build a new dream for you and me

Let's, for we feel there's something rare, something really rare
So come and say you'll want to share, want to really share
The beauty waiting for us there, calling for us there
And only loving can give the heart

Amene nos voix
Chantant tous bas
Nos pour revoir
Comme une chanson
Comme un espoir
Together, so much in love
Une chanson pour toi et moi
Toi et moi, toi et moi
Toi et moi, toi et moi

Talk It Over In The Morning

I disappointed you by saying things I never meant to say, yeah
Now after all this time, you say you want to throw our love away
Let's pack our troubles off to bed
Forget those awful things we said
We'll try and sleep instead and we can talk it over in the morning

Without you by my side, the sun might fail to rise
Butterflies and bees might give up flying
Without your loving touch, the world won't be the same
All the birds that sing might end up crying

I think I have seen the light, and maybe I admit that I was wrong
You know what's best for me, your loving has a way that makes me strong
That kind of magic can't be taught
This kind of loving can't be bought
To see if the dream we've got, we ought to talk it over in the morning

Without you by my side, the sun might fail to rise
Butterflies and bees might give up flying
Without your loving touch, the world won't be the same
All the birds that sing might end up crying

Without you by my side, the sun might fail to rise
Butterflies and bees might give up flying
Without your loving touch, the world won't be the same
All the birds that sing might end up crying
