Oh, I could hide ’neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings
The six o’clock alarm would never ring
But six rings, and I rise
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
My shaving razor’s cold, and it stings

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen?

You once thought of me
As a white knight on his steed
Well, now you know how happy I can be
And our good times start and end
Without dollar one to spend
But how much, baby, do we really need?

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen?

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen?

[break]

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean

And a homecoming queen?

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean

Hold me tight
All through the night
I’ll make love to you
If you want me to
I’ll do anything for you
Anything you want me to

Time goes by
I sit and wonder why
You’re not here with me
My life’s a misery
When you’re not into me
My life’s agony

Find your way
And one day
You’ll find happiness
Love, wedding bliss
Kids, pets, good night kiss
Nothing back here you miss

Unhappy memories, late night rendez-vous
Pictures of your past don’t recognize you
Looking for a reason to sweep it all away
Find a better day
Someone who will stay, you said

I will always love you
I wish it could have been you
How does such a love just end?
Who’s to blame? Is that your friend?
Where is she now she’s brought this end?
How much more time can we spend?
Defending our position to the end

Uncomfortable conversations with lengthy interludes
Eyes that wander ’way into the night
Nothing like your love had ever been inside my life
Neither one of us would give an inch or try to sacrifice
Compromise

Love, love, love (Hold me tight)
Love, love, love (All through the night)
I’ll make love to you (I’ll make love to you)
If you want me to (If you want me to)
I’ll do anything for you (Anything for you)
Anything you want me to

I guess we just, let it go, babe
Should, shoulda worked
Shoulda worked
I wish it could have been you
You know I love you
I wish it could have been you
You know I love you
I wish it could have been you
You know I love you
I wish it could have been… you
I wish… it could have been… you

When you tell me that you love me
Put nobody else above me
Everything I wanted came to be
You took my hand, said, “Don’t you worry”
Take your time, no need to hurry
Everything that’s meant to be will be

Love me gently, love me slowly
Tell me I’m your one and only
Satisfy the wanderer in me
Tell me that you’ll always need me
And that you will never leave me
And everything that’s meant to be will be

But you’re so far away from me
I need you by my side
My arms can’t wait to hold you
And my heart is open wide

[break]

Silly girl, is fear of lonely [???]
Jealous thoughts are just and only [???]
Don’t destroy the feelings that we feel
Be the sun that rises slowly
All day long, can’t wait to hold me
Sanctify the soul deep inside me

Na-na na, na-na na-na na-na
Na-na na, na-na na-na na-na
Na-na na, na-na na-na na-na

Na-na na, na-na na-na na-na
Na-na na, na-na na-na na-na
Na-na na, da-da da-da da-da

When you tell me that you love me
Put nobody else above me
Everything I wanted came to be
You took my hand, said, “Don’t you worry”
Take your time, no need to hurry
And everything that’s meant to be, yeah
Everything that’s meant for you and me
Everything that’s meant to be will be

Well, there’s a girl I know
She makes me feel so good
And I wouldn’t live without her
Even if I could (Even if I could)

Well, she’s the same little girl who used to
Hang around my door
But she sure looks different than

If I had a penny
For every time that I thought about you
I would be a millionaire
I would send you flowers each day
I would show you in every way
Just how much I really care

The summer sun and the winter snow
The autumn leaves let the spring rains know
Just how much I need your love
And if I knew that my time was near, and you were there
I would have no fear
Your name would be my dyin’ prayer

It’s not too late
To turn this ship around
To sail into the wind, my love
Before we run aground
It’s not too late
To say that I love you
And it’s not too late for you, my love
To say you love me too
It’s not too late

If I was a rich man’s son
I would work ’til the day was done
Just to prove my love was true
I would take ya for my wife
I would love you all my life
I would never leave or be untrue

You know our future and your feelings
And the love that I have for you
They’re always in my heart, they’re on my mind
A never ending love affair
We’ll go together everywhere
Our love will last until the end of time

It’s not too late
To turn this ship around
To sail into the wind, my love
Before we run aground
It’s not too late
To say that I love you
And it’s not too late for you, my love
To say you love me too

It’s not too late
To turn this ship around
To sail into the wind, my love
Before we run aground
It’s not too late
To say that I love you
And it’s not too late for you, my love
To say you love me too

You know our future and your feelings
And the love that I have for you
They’re always in my heart, they’re on my mind
A never ending love affair
We’ll go together everywhere
Our love will last until the end of time

You know our future and your feelings
And the love that I have for you
They’re always in my heart, they’re on my mind
A never ending love affair

To sail into the wind, my love

(Dance, dance, dance)

Dance, gypsy, while the flame grows higher
Enchantment fills the air, there’s magic in the night
Dance, gypsy, whirling ’round your fire
This is the night you’re gonna ride on the wind

Now is the time to forget all those miseries
Light up your face with a smile
Reach out a hand to the man standing next to you
Share all the love in your heart

Enough of bad times
Enough of sad tears
Think what tomorrow will bring for you

Live, love and fill the world with laughter
Love is the only thing that’s going to set us free
Sing, smile, make somebody happy
Just take the time to turn some poor lonely soul into a friend

[break]

Live, love and fill the world with laughter
Love is the only thing that’s going to set us free
Sing, smile, and make somebody happy
Let’s make each happy day a long holiday

Now is the time to forget all those miseries
Light up your face with a smile
Reach out a hand to the man standing next to you
Share all the love in your heart

Enough of bad times
Enough of sad tears
Think what tomorrow will bring for you

Hey, dance, gypsy, while the flame grows higher
Enchantment fills the air, there’s magic in the night
Dance, gypsy, whirling ’round your fire
This is the night you’re going to ride on the wind into the sky
Dance

Every morning I wake
I think of you
Every breath that I take
Reminds me of
The things we planned to do
You’re in my heart

When the sun doesn’t shine
You shine on me
And when I think of the times
You’ve cared for me
When I’ve been wild and free
You’re in my heart

I promised you so many times
I would change my ways
Baby, don’t give up on me
You know it’s just a passing phase
Nothing can come between us
While you’re lying there
I love you again

When I look in your eyes
It seems so clear
Now it’s just you and I
Holding on
Fighting back the tears and fears
You’re in my heart

Making love by candlelight
Until the break of day
Laughing at each other
In our own familiar way
Reaching out to touch you
While you’re lying there
I love you again
And again
And again
Again
And again

When I look in your eyes
It seems so clear

(I’ll be after your heart
Ah-ah-ah)

Sometimes I’m feeling low
Prayers just bounce off the walls
Over and over, it seems you go
I stumble and I fall

Come and lavish me with your love
It’s what I hold so dear
Let me know what you’re thinking of
Let me know, know you’re near

I’ll be after your heart (Be after your heart)
Girl, I’m after your heart
Though you’re running from me, girl
I’ll make you see, girl
Nothing can keep us apart
Still I know the place to start
Is after your heart

Just like a ship on the sea
That gets tossed about by the storm
Sometimes I just wanna be
In a place that’s safe, safe and warm

Like a stranger upon this land
Seems your path’s hard to see
But with just a touch of your hat
You can move me, move me

I’ll be after your heart (Be after your heart)
Girl, I’m after your heart
Though you’re running away
I gotta say
Nothing can keep us apart
Still I know the place to start
Is after your heart

[break]

I’ll be after your heart (Be after your heart)
Girl, I’m after your heart
You’re so hard to please
There’s not enough reason
I know it’s a shot in the dark
Still I know the place to start
Is after (I’ll be after your heart, I’ll be after your heart) your heart
(I’ll be after your heart)
I’ll be running after you, girl (I’ll be after your heart)
There won’t be no one else (I’ll be after your heart)
I’m coming running after you, babe (I’ll be after your heart)
You know there’s no one else (I’ll be after your heart)
There’s only you (I’ll be after your heart)
I’ll come a-running after you, girl

Love me once
Love me twice
It will be like paradise
Oh, baby, baby
I’m leaving it up to you

Time may come
You change your mind
And wanna leave our love behind
Oh, baby, baby
I’m leaving it up to you

I just want to be alone with you, babe
So I can show you how much I love you
Too many lonely nights
I wanted you to hold me tight
Oh, baby, baby
I’m leaving it up to you

Kiss me once
Kiss me twice
Hold me close
It feels so nice
Oh, baby, baby
I’m leaving it up to you

I feel your heart
Beating fast
Hold on girl
Let’s make it last
Oh, baby, baby
I’m leaving it up to you

I just want to be alone with you, babe
So I can show you how much I love you
Too many lonely nights
I wanted you to hold me tight
Oh, baby, baby

Don’t go, now that I’ve found you
Don’t go and find someone else
Don’t go, now that I’ve found you
Don’t go

Can’t spend my life
Chasing runaway hearts
Can’t sleep at night
If I don’t know where you are

Sometimes I get so confused
Not this time, I know what to do
Don’t you worry
I’ll put no chains on you

Don’t go, now that I’ve found you
Don’t go and find someone else
Don’t go, now that I’ve found you
Don’t go fooling yourself

All day and night
I’ll keep you satisfied
What’s right is right
Forget the tears that you’ve cried

The world is moving so fast
So don’t let a good thing get past
Whatever you do
That’s why I say to you

Don’t go, now that I’ve found you
Don’t go and find someone else
Don’t go, now that I’ve found you
Don’t go fooling yourself

Don’t go, now that I’ve found you

Girl, look what you’ve done to me
Me, and my whole world
Girl, you’ve brought the sun to me
With your smile
You did it, girl

I’m telling you, girl
Something unknown to me
Makes you what you are
And what you are
Is all that I want for me
And it’s good to feel that way, girl

Thank you girl, for making night time nicer
Girl, for making the daytime
Thank you girl, for making a better world for me

I’m telling you, girl
Something unknown to me
Makes you what you are

Is all that I want for me
And it’s good to feel that way, girl

(Thank you) Girl, for making a better world for me

Thank you girl, for making the winter warmer
(Thank you) Girl, for making the music softer

I’ll love you this year
I’ll love you next year
And then forever

I’ll always need you
I’ll never leave you
I’ll love you forever

And if you ever change your mind
Think again and give me time
For you’re my first love
You are my last love
You’re my forever

I love this feeling
My heart is beating
A mile a minute

No other woman
Has ever been
So deep inside in it

And when the sun shines on our love
I thank the Lord above
You’re my first love
You are my last love
You’re my beginning

[break]

And when the sun shines on our love
That’s when I thank the Lord above
You’re my first love
You are my last love
You are my everlasting love

You are my first love
You’re my last love
You’re my forever
