If I could only be sure that you love me baby
If I could only be sure that you love me darling
I'd climb the highest mountains, I'd swim the deepest sea
I'd take on all your misery to make you happy

I'd turn my world upside down
I'd turn my smile back into frowns
I'd do anything at all
If you'd only let me love you baby
Just to let me love you baby

If I could read your mind so you love me darling
If I could read your heart so you never leave me
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
I'd give my life for you baby, yes I would

I'd turn my world upside down
I'd turn my smile back into frowns
I'd do anything at all
If you'd only let me love you baby
Let me, let me love you baby

I'd turn my world upside down
I'd turn my smile all into frowns
I'd do anything at all
If you'd only let me love you baby
Just to let me, let me love you baby
Let me love you baby
Let me, let me love you baby

(Love you baby)
(Just to love you baby)

WISHING ON A STAR

I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow where you've been

And I'm wishing on all the rainbows that I see
wishing on all the people who've ever been
And I'm wishing on tomorrow, when will it come
And I'm wishing on all the lovin' we've ever done

I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I never thought I'd see
A time when you would be

So far away from home
So far away from me

Just think of all the moments that we spent
I just can't let you go, from me you were meant
I didn't mean to hurt you and i know
That in the game of loving you I will sow

I feel it's time for us to make up, baby
I feel it's time for us to get back together
And get the best of things, oh, baby
When we're together, yeahhhh... whether or never

And I'm wishing on a star...
(guitar)

And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
Wishing on all the people who've ever been
And I'm wishing on tomorrow, when will it come
And I'm wishing on all the lovin' we've ever done

And I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are (oh reach out)
(I'm) wishing on a dream
To follow where you've been

(said) I'm wishing on a star...
(guitar)

It seems the songs we're singing
Are all about tomorrow,
Tunes of promises that we can't keep.
Every moment bringing
A love I can only borrow,
You're telling me lies in your sleep.

Do you think I'm not aware
Of what you're saying
Or why you're saying it?
Is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying?
Don't go on betraying

Don't make promises you can't keep.
Don't make promises you can't keep.

We had a chance to find it,
Our time was now or never,
You promised me things that I need.
And then the things behind it
Took away the chance forever,
You're telling me lies in your sleep.

Do you think I'm not aware
Of what you're saying
Or why you're saying it?
Is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying?
Don't go on betraying.

Don't make promises you can't keep (to fade)

See that black boy over there, runnin' scared
his ol' man's in a bottle.
He done quit his 9 to 5 to drink full time
so now he's livin' in the bottle.
See that black boy over there, runnin' scared
his ol' man got a problem
Pawned off damn near everything, his ol'
woman's weddin' ring for a bottle.
And don't you think it's a crime
when time after time, people in the bottle.

See that sister, she was fine before she
started sippin' wine
from the bottle.
Said her ol' man committed a crime
and he's doin' time,
so now she's in the bottle.
She's out there on the avenue, all by herself
sho' needs help from the bottle.
Preacherman tried to help her out,
she cussed him out and hit him in the head with a bottle.
And don't you think it's a crime
when time after time, people in the bottle.

See that gent in the wrinkled suit
he done damn near blown his cool
to the bottle
He was a doctor helpin' young girls along
if they weren't too far gone to have problems.
But defenders of the dollar eagle
Said "What you doin', Doc, it ain't legal,"
and now he's in the bottle.
Now we watch him everyday tryin' to
chase the pigeons away
from the bottle.
And don't you think it's a crime
when time after time, people in the bottle.

Black is the colour
Of my true loves hair
Her lips are like
Some roses fair
She has the sweetest smile
And the gentlest hands
And I love the ground
Where on she stands

I love my love
And well she knows
I love the ground
Where on she goes
I wish the day
It soon would come
When she and I
Could be as one

I go to the Clyde
And I mourn and weep
For satisfied
I never can be
I write her a letter
Just a few short lines
And die a death
A thousand times

Black is the colour
Of my true loves hair
Her lips are like
Red roses fair
She has the sweetest smile
And the gentlest hands
And I love the ground
Where on she stands

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you walk near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

From the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon-dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the guys in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

From the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon-dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the guys in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Yeah, just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Oh darling

Just like me, they long to be
Close

Just like me, they long to be (repeat to fade)

This is the one…

In the early morning rain
With a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart
And my pockets full of sand
I’m a long way from home
Lord, I miss my loved ones so
In the early morning rain
With no place to go

Out on runway number nine
Seven-oh-seven set to go
But I’m stuck here on the ground
Where the cold wind blows
Now the liquor tasted good
And the women all were fast
There she goes my friend
She’ll be rolling down at last

Hear the mighty engines roar
See the silver bird on high
She’s away and westward bound
Far above the clouds she’ll fly
Where the morning rain don’t fall
And the sun always shines
She’ll be flying over my home
In about three hours time

So the airports got me down
It’s no earthly good to me
Cause I’m stuck here on the ground
Bored and drunk as I can be
You can’t jump a jet plane
Like you can a freight train
So I’d best be on my way
In the early morning rain

I wanna get high, but I never could take the pain
'Cos it would blow away my soul like a hurricane
Like a one man band clapping in the pouring rain
If I know where I'm going, I don't know from where I came
Now you gonna be in summertime?
And are you gonna see the heavens shine
Like lightning in the sky?

As soon as they come
The feelings they go
All alone, on a one way road
As soon as they come
The feelings they go
All alone, on a one way road
On a one way road

I wanna get high, but I really can't take the pain
'Cos it will blow away my soul like a hurricane
I'm like a one man band clapping in the pouring rain
If I know where I'm going, I don't know from where I came
Now you gonna be in summertime?
And are you gonna see the heavens shine
Like lightning in the sky?

As soon as they come
The feelings they go
All alone, on a one way road
As soon as they come
The feelings they go
All alone, on a one way road
Oh, on a one way road

All we fear, is fear itself
Check our your own backyard before you check out someone else
Railroad track, in my neighbourhood
Ain’t no trains around this place, just ain’t no good

And all I know, is what’s going down,
When the dealer on the corner looks like the sharpest cat in town
Jungle rule, can’t be no fool
Might get caught by the hook or crook, no time for cool

Look out kid, what you did, what you carrying brother
I hope you’re clean cause the man is mean, don’t come another further

We all know the answers, must come out in time
I might even carry some of your load, right along with mine

Thank you ma’am, mister please
but I must be Hercules
I must be Hercules

Like a bird, on the wing
I just wanna be free enough to do my thing
I can feel the pressure, from every side
If you don’t wanna help, don’t hurt, just stand aside

We all know the answers, must come out in time
I might even carry some of your load, right along with mine

Thank you ma’am, mister please
but I must be Hercules
Hercules
oh Hercules

Hercules
I must be Hercules

Got your feet, in the sand
Got to be down with the cats in town, but still got the face the man

Talk about me if you please but I must be Hercules
Hercules
oh Hercules

Talk about me if you please but I must be Hercules
must be Hercules.

Everybody let me tell you ‘bout my love
Brought to you by an angel from above
Full equipped with a lifetime guarantee
Once you try it, I am sure that you’ll see

Without love there’s no reason to live
Without you and what would I do with the love I give
All my loving to you I’ll be giving
And I promise, yes I’ll do, as long as I’m living

I’m thinking of you and the things you do to me
That makes me love you, now I’m living in ecstasy
Hey, it’s you and the things you do to me
That makes me love you, now I’m living in ecstasy

All the time you make me glad that I’m alive
Sharing together helping me survive
What do you think brought the sun out today
Oh its you, let me here you sing

Without love there’s no reason to live
Without you, what would I do with the love I give
All my lovin’ to you I’ll be giving
And I promise as long as I’m living

I’m thinking of you and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I’m living in ecstasy
I'm thinking of you and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I’m living in ecstasy

I’m thinking of you and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I’m living in ecstasy
I'm thinking of you and the things you do to me
That make me love you, now I’m living in ecstasy

(repeat to fade)
