Where have you gone
You’re here in this song
I love you dear I need you near to me
You’re waiting too long
I know I was wrong
I love you dear I need you near to me
So when will you see
The truth finally
I love you dear I need you near to me
You dream about tomorrow
Holding on to yesterday
Yet the life that really matters
Is the one you live today
I’m falling on my knees
And hoping quietly
You will find a place for me
To lose my mind
My heart is open wide
I’m praying for the time
You will find a way for me
To lose my mind
You dream about tomorrow
Holding on to yesterday
Yet the life that really matters
Is the one you live today
I’m falling on my knees
And hoping quietly
You will find a place for me
To lose my mind
My heart is open wide
I’m praying for the time
You will find a way for me
To lose my mind

Love and understanding are words that give meaning to the soul
When we're reaching out to someone we can maybe take a little pain away
The world could be a better place if we just help one another
And a giving hand can brighten someone's day
Our life could be a living grace if we only love one another
And a smile can go a long, long way
Hanging on to your resentments puts a load upon the freedom that you need
Letting go of all the hatred is a sign of hope that love will come your way
Has there ever been a time when you were feeling down and lonely
And another loving soul was there to share your grief
The world could be a better place if we just help one another
And a giving hand can brighten someone's day
Our life could be a living grace if we only love one another
And a smile can go a long, long way
The time has come for us all to be as one and to bring back something near to sanity
With an open heart we can surely play a part in the healing lives of all humanity
Love and understanding are words that give meaning to the soul
The world could be a better place if we just help one another
And a giving hand can brighten someone's day
Our life would be a living grace if we only love one another
And a smile can go a long, long way

Sit on my doorstep waiting for you to come over
I wanna know when you'll lay your head on my shoulder
You won't believe me but there is no other
And I mean it when I wanna love ya
Love is a natural thing
Love is a natural feeling
Love is a natural
Slip to my own world thinkin you should be with me
Think it over, I love you specially baby
Love is natural thing...
Love is a natural feeling
Love is a natural
This love is a miracle to see
And this love is incredible to me
You make it love, love
You say love, love
Love is a natural thing
Love is a natural feeling

You’ve been traveling lonely
Moving right along in time
You’ve heard everyone’s lines
About having him on your mind
And you’ve been crying for too long
And feeling far from everyone
It’s been way too much time now
With him on your mind
And God only knows where you stand
And God only knows about your man
And would you give your love to somebody new
And could you give your life to somebody new
You’ve been waiting for someone
Knowing your day will surely come
It’s taking way too much time now
To get him off of your mind
The night turns into the day now
You couldn’t close your eyes at all
It’s taking way too much work now
To get him off of your mind
And God only knows where you stand
And God only knows about your man
And would you give your love to somebody new
And could you give your life to somebody new
Somebody new

The sun is going down, down upon your heart
Tears are rolling down unveiling how you are
Don't worry now we'll make it through somehow I know
Pain is all around from your head to toe
Body's broken down, emotion at a low
Don't worry now we'll make it through somehow again
We know it could be slow, we've been here before
With hope and adjuration we'll make it through somehow
Faith is deeper now, deeper than before
Healing with the Lord is what we're looking for
Don't worry now we'll make it through somehow again
We know it will be slow, we've been there before
With hope and adjuration we'll make it through somehow
We've been walking with our hand in hand
Realizing we don't understand
Even lately we've been sitting down to pray
It ain't easy but you show your might
You keep pushing every day and night
With a longing for the pain to go away
We've been reminiscing about your strides
And you've been doin' dancing in your mind
I've been watching for the symptoms and the signs
You communicate a smiling face
Celebrate it with amazing grace
And every now and then you think that you'll be fine
We'll make it through somehow...

Sitting alone again beside that tree
Remember the day it was only you and me
We’re gonna take a boat across the sea
Don’t you wonder when that’s gonna be
You wanted me I wanted you so why
Why did we walk away and say goodbye
I need a love that never has to die
And a love higher than the sky
I need a love that will always be
And a love given endlessly
My love for you is love so true
It never goes away
Driving along the road that takes me home
I think about the life we called our own
You needed time I wanted mine so now
Now we’re just tryin to understand somehow
You looked me me I looked at you so why
Why did we leave the hope there in our eyes
I need a love that never has to die
And a love higher than the sky
I need a love that will always be
And a love given endlessly
My love for you is love so true
It never goes away

I’m still a little crazy but I know I fell in love with you
I was so in love with you
You’re still so amazing and it’s true you’re the one I’m talking to
And telling all those secrets to
This time only good things do I see and how it’s turning out to be
Is only good for you and me
And we don’t have to talk of real life
And we don’t have to feel the pain
We could ask what it would be like
Knowing it won’t be again
I know I’ll never get to be with you love
I’ll never feel your touch or see you wake up
I’ll never get to call you on the telephone
Never get to ask you when you’ll be home
I’ll always have to wonder about last night
And never really know if you are alright
But one thing that I know
You’ll always be the one and only first there was for me
The one and only first there was for me
I’m still a little crazy but I know I fell in love with you
I was so in love with you
Always so in love with you

So many years gone by
I still see happiness in your eyes
Do you know why
Can you tell me why
So many times you’d cry
I still see tears running down your face
Do you know why
Can you tell me why
No longer now
Can you take your heart for granted
It’s much harder now
To take your love for granted
Don’t take your love for granted
Do you wanna believe in second chances
Do you wanna be
Do you wanna believe
Do you wanna believe in midnight dances
Do you wanna be
Do you wanna believe
Would ever believe we know the answer
Would you ever be
Would you ever believe
No longer now…
Do you wanna believe…

I just took your picture from the wall
With bitter thoughts my tears begin to fall
Miles and miles of emptiness surround me
What happened to our union and our love
You gave me power to see beyond today
You gave me hope to carry on
Why cry, who has to say good-bye
Why cry, is it only for a while
If we're in love and it is real
Why cry
I imagine life is full of living
Your love can only bring this life to me
All I ever wanted was you near me
Love I'm far from over you
I want to believe that you're coming home
To hold me once again
I'll always be there when you're looking for
The love we shared
Why cry, who has to say good-bye
Why cry, is it only for a while
If we're in love and it is real
Why cry
Why you say good-bye, oh why you cry

Sometimes when the music disappears
And you're waiting for the words you long to hear
Then you're fighting through the moment and the tears
Those days and the nights that come to be
Are the guiding light to endless harmonies
And we just begin to sing them naturally
So look at your life when you need time thinking it over
Believe in the power of love
Walk with me now and the prize gets a little bit closer
Be free in the power of love
Wait for the signs and you'll know the one and the only
Live deep in the power of love
How long does it take to make some time
And to know we almost let it pass us by
Then tomorrow came and gave us one more try
Somehow you begin to realize
What a gift we have in every new sunrise
And there's beauty here that goes beyond the sky
How does it go when our minds get a little bit older
We ought to know by now
And how do we see when our eyes get a little bit older
We ought to know by now
So look at your life when you need time thinking it over
Believe in the power of love
Walk with me now and the prize gets a little bit closer
Be free in the power of love
Wait for the signs and you'll know the one and the only
Live deep in the power of love

Please take my hand
Every day that you can
In every way I’ll be your man
Please speak my heart
Telling me how it could be
And not so much about history
There’s got to be a dreamer
Somewhere inside of you
You got to be a lover
Sometimes in spite of you
Would you ever know a dreamer
Standing right next to you
You want to be a lover
Even in spite of you
Please keep my plan
To find all the love that you can
And put all your faith in my hands.
There’s got to be a dreamer…

All along the shore along the road that we're on
There's some colorful things to share there waiting for us to find them, to hold them
Will I fall into the roses or am I blind to what you are
Fall into the roses, am I blind to what you are
I've got this feeling about the time and what it's about I'm wondering, I'm wondering
Why does everything seem like rhymes, you're trying to hide I can't find you
Am I out in the rain
Will I fall into the roses or am I blind to what you are
Fall into the roses, am I blind to what you are
All along the shoreline along the sky route that we're on
I found a reason to think that love is something we're gonna be needing along the way
Will I fall into the roses or am I blind to what you are
Fall into the roses, am I blind to what you are
Fall into the roses, am I blind to what you are
Fall into the roses, am I blind

Skipping rocks over the pond strolling through the grass
See the trees with moss of North leaning in the breeze
Walk beside the waterfall see the children play and sing with sweet enhancement of the day
They don't know about the missile raids and plain old rushing planes
Butterflies and sweet mud pies is all they have in mind, that's all they have in mind
Several years have come and gone we're turning older now
We've got children of our own living in the town
They see us as what we are, not what we can be
Using all our precious time for someone else's dream
They don't know about the missile raids and plain old rushing planes
Butterflies and sweet mud pies is all they have in mind, that's all they have in mind
That's all they have in mind
Open hearts and rigid minds oh, we'd love to stay
Our children help remind us how we should remain
They don't know about the missile raids and plain old rushing planes
Butterflies and sweet mud pies is all they have in mind, that's all they have in mind
Do they know about the missile raids and plain old rushing planes
Butterflies and sweet mud pies is all they have in mind, that's all they have in mind
It's all they have in mind

I listen to the rain as it falls upon me
I feel the pitter patter on my head
The pitter patter as they say as it rushes to sea
I see the lightning as it flashes here before me
I feel the thunder as it shakes the ground under me
Well it's the weather
We don't know if it'll storm tonight, there's not even a cloud in sight
So let's just leave it to the weather
I see the snow as it gathers here over me
I hear the chitter chatter of my knees under me
Well it's the weather
I see the sun as it melts the ice below me
I feel the pitter patter on my head
The pitter patter as they say that it rushes to sea
We don't know if it'll storm tonight, there's not even a cloud in sight
So let's just leave it to the weather
We don't know if it'll storm tonight, there's not even a cloud in sight
So let's just leave it to the weather
So let's just leave it to the weather...

Soft and cuddly, warm and fuzzy, he has a funny little grin
You keep him close and hug him to the end
You love him, you need him, you travel far
You know him, you feed him, you hold him in your arms
His name is Hairy his coat is berry,
You drag him everywhere you go
He is your best friend in the world
You use him, excuse him, you have a role
Accuse him and then you lose him
Don't drop that monkey, don't drop that monkey
Don't drop that monkey on the floor
Don't drop that monkey, don't drop that monkey
Don't drop that monkey any more
Don't drop that monkey
Don't drop that monkey
In the morning you cry your eyes out
You can't believe what you have done
You don't remember where you put him down
Suddenly you see him laying on the ground
You'll never let him go again
Don't drop that monkey, don't drop that monkey
Don't drop that monkey on the floor
Don't drop that monkey, don't drop that monkey
Don't drop that monkey any more
Don't drop that monkey, don't drop that monkey
Don't drop that monkey on the floor
Don't drop that monkey, don't drop that monkey
Don't drop that monkey any more...

Snowflakes as big as butterfly wings
Falling forever it seems
The sun comes out and melts the ice
Then it starts to snow again...evedrybody sing
Spring is just around the corner, the corner of your only mind
Spring is just around the corner and it won't be a long time
Tear drops as big as falling raindrops
Running down the cheeks, oh why
Doesn't everybody cry
Spring is just around the corner, the corner of your only mind
Spring is just around the corner and it won't be a long time
Don't be along, don't be a long, don't be a long time
Spring is just around the corner, the corner of your only mind
Spring is just around the corner and it won't be a long, long, long time
It won't be a long time

Love and understanding are words that give meaning to the soul
Even if we cannot see tomorrow we can always bring love into today
Caring is the answer to the suffering and hurt that we endure
When we're reaching out to someone we can maybe take a little pain away
Have you ever seen a hungry child crying
Do you wanna be the one who always turns away
The world could be a better place if we just help one another
And a giving hand can brighten someone's day
Our life could be a living grace if we only love one another
And a smile can go a long, long way
Hanging on to your resentments puts a load upon the freedom that you need
Letting go of all the hatred is a sign of hope that love will come your way
Has there ever been a time when you were feeling down and lonely
And another loving soul was there to share your grief
The world could be a better place if we just help one another
And a giving hand can brighten someone's day
Our life could be a living grace if we only love one another
And a smile can go a long, long way
The time has come for us all to be as one and to bring back something near to sanity
With an open heart we can surely play a part in the healing lives of all humanity
Love and understanding are words that give meaning to the soul
The world could be a better place if we just help one another
And a giving hand can brighten someone's day
Our life could be a living grace if we only love one another
And a smile can go a long, long way
The world would be a better place if we just help one another
And a giving hand will brighten someone's day
Our life would be a living grace if we only love one another
And a smile will go a long, long way

Do you know from where you got your freedom
Can you put a price on it for me
Do you ever feel you're life was home grown or is it all from society
You always find a way to feel so proud
And making sure you're always around, telling all those silly stories
After all we've said and done, don't you know the day will come
To see the things that really make you smile
You better look beyond just what you see
And have a book that you can always read, then tell me about what we could be
Where is the love going to be
Where is the love that's all there needs to be
Where is the love going to be
Where is the love it's meant for you and me
Sitting around a table when you look me in the eye
We all remember yesterday and then begin to cry
One thing leads into tomorrow, it seems like way to much to say
Now tell me again how we should feel
Where is the love going to be
Where is the love that's all there needs to be
Where is the love going to be
Where is the love it's meant for you and me

Hear the simple moves of a melody
In your dream as you sleep
Then you hear some words and harmonies
And they complete a song to be
When it plays it lights up your world
And you sing all over the world
Work another day, drop the pebble in
It sends a ripple out and the change begins
See the little child and sing to them
It’ll turn their frown into a grin
With a wave you’re moving the world
What you say will light up their world
And we sing all over the world
Whoa….
And we sing all over the world
And we sing all over the world…

You come to me when I really need to see you
You comfort me and show me how I’ll always need you
I am so thankful
Thankful for you
For you
I feel so grateful
Grateful for you
For you
Ooooh
You gave to me a love I never knew could happen
You tenderly lead me in a way you’re moving
I am so thankful
Thankful for you
For you
I feel so grateful
Grateful for you
For you
Ooooh
You had a plan
I understand
You came into my world and turned it into something nothing less than grand
I am so thankful
Thankful for you
For you
I feel so grateful
Grateful for you
For you
