A LIFE WITHOUT LOVE

 

DAYDREAM BELIEVER(Anne Murray)

Oh, I could hide neath the wings

of the bluebird has she sings

the six oclcock

alarm would never ring

but it rings and we rise

wipe the sleep out of our eyes

The shaving razors cold and it stings

CHORUS

Cheer up sleepy Jean

oh what can it mean

to a Day dream Believer

and a homecoming queen

I once thought of you

has a white knight on a stead

now you know how happy we can be

oh when are good times start to thin

with a dollar one to spend

but baby how much do we reall y need

CHORUS(REPEAT TILL FADE)

INTO THE NIGHT(Benny Mardones)

Shes just sixteen years old

leave her alone they said

separated by fools

who dont know what love is yet

but I want you to know

CHORUS

If I could fly Id pick you up

Id take you into the night

and show you a love

like youve never seen

ever seen

Its like havinga dream

where nobody has a heart

its like having it all

then watching it fall apart

and I would wait till the end

of time for you

and do it again its true

I cant measure my love

there s nothing to compare it to

but I want you to know

CHORUS

THE ROSE(Bette Midler)

Some say love it is a river

that drown the tender reed

some say love it is a razor

that leaves your soul to bleed

some say love it is a hunger

and endless aching need

I say love it is a flower

and you its only seed

Its the heart afraid of breaking

that never learns to dance

its the dream

afraid of waking

that never takes the chance

its the one who wont be taken

who never seems to be

and the soul afraid of dying

that never learns to life

When the night has been to lonely

and the road has been to long

and you thing that love is only

for the lucky

and the strong

just remember in the winter

far beneath the bitter snow

lies the seed that with the suns glow

in the spring

becomes a rose

ITS STILL ROCK NROLL TO ME(Billy Joel)

Whats a matter with the clothes Im wearing

cant you tell that your ties to wide

maybe I should buy some old tab collars

welcome back to the age of Jive

where have you been hiding out lately honey

you cant dress trashy till you spend a lot of money

Everybodys talking bout the new sound funny

but its still rock n roll to me

Whats a matter with the car Im driving

cant you tell that its out of style

should I get a set of whitewall tires

are you gonna cruise a miracle mile

now a days you cant be too sentimental

your best bets a baby blue continental

hot funk, cool punk, even if its old junk

its still rock n roll to me

CHORUS

Oh, it doesnt matter what they say in the papers

cause it s alway been the same old scene

theres a new band in town but you cant

get the sound from a story in a magazine

aimed at your average teen

how about a pair of pink sidewinders

and a bright orange pair of pants

well you could really be a

Beau Brummell baby

if you just give it half a chance

dont waste your money on a new set of speakers

you get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers

next phase new wave

dance crazy, any ways

its still rock n roll to me

Whats a matter with the crowd Im seein g

dont you know that there out of touch

well should I try to be a straight A student

if you are then you think to much

well dont you know about the new fashion honey

all you need are looks and a whole lot of money its the next phase, new wave,

dance craze, any ways

its still rock n roll to me

everybodys talking about the new sound funny but its still rock n roll to me

YOU MAY BE RIGHT(Billy Joel)

Friday night I crashed your party

Saturday I said Im sorry

Sunday came and trashed my out again

I was only having fun

wasnt hurting anyone

and we all enjoyed the weeked for a change

I was stranded in the combat zone

I walked through

bedford stuy alone

even rode my motorcycle in the rain

and you told me not to drive

but I made it home alive

and you said that only proves that Im Insane

CHORUS

You may be right

I may be crazy

but it just may be a lunatic your looking for

turn out the lights dont try to save me

you may be wrong for all I know

but

you may be right

Remember how I found you there

alone in your electric chair

I told you dirty jokes until you smiled

you were lonely for a man

I said take my has I am

cause you might enjoy some madness for awhile know I think of all the years youve tried to find someone to satisfy you

well I might be has crazy as you say

well if Im crazy then its true

thats its all because of you

and you wouldnt want me anyother way

CHORUS

...its too late to fight,

its too late to change

you may be wrong for all I know

but

you may be right

CHORUS

....turn out the lights

dont try to save me

you may be wrong

for all I know

you may be right

you may be wrong

but you ma y be right

(repeat till fade)
