War Games
Stone shapes and me
Ill stay now
Nothings forever
This time theres no goodbye
A female son
But I wont change again
One of these days
Ill love it all and sleep
You are slow poison young friend
Just give me time to reply
What am I saying
Theres nothing left to steal
One of these days

Time Of No Reply
Summer was gone and the heat died down
And autumn reached for her golden crown
I looked behind as I heard a sigh
But this was the time of no reply.
The sun went down and the crowd went home
I was left by the roadside all alone
I turned to speak as they went by
But this was the time of no reply.
The time of no reply is calling me to stay
There is no hello and no goodbye
To leave there is no way.
The trees on the hill had nothing to say
They would keep their dreams till another day
So they stood and thought and wondered why
For this was the time of no reply.
Time goes by from year to year
And no one asks why I am standing here
But I have my answer as I look to the sky
This is the time of no reply.
The time of no reply is calling me to stay
There's no hello and no goodbye
To leave there is no way.

The State Of Play
There is a choice to be made here
There is a will to be known
Either you live your own life or
Follow wherever I go
Nothings forever
And maybe Ill lonely cause you pain
Nothings forever
Or will we remain?
So tell me whats the state of play
Do I leave or do I stay
Tell me whats the state of play
Do you love, do you love, do you love me?
Tell me your darkest of secrets
Offer no thread of a lie
For if theres a key to the future
Youre looking him right in the eyes
Nothings forever
And time always changes everything
Nothings forever
From pauper to king
Do I leave or do I stay
Nothings forever, forever, forever, forever
Forever and ever

Goodbye
I hate the word goodbye
It makes the angels cry
But I've been hurt too many times
Now the time for fair well is ripe
I hate the word goodbye
It always makes me cry
But you've also made me cry
You've done it so many times
Though there were times when you made me smile
During the happiest days of my life
When I had to hold forever
You were the best and you made me better
But the bonds broke and you let me go
I was in pain and left all alone
Your face still holds that memory
My heart still holds that agony
So it's better we say goodbye
Its better that the angels cry
Its better that you go your way
And its better that I go mine
It hurts me now to see you stay
And you've hurt me so many times
It's a shame what could have been
It's a shame what couldn't be
But the biggest shame this time
Is the very fact that I tried
Some things just can't be understood
In every sense of the word
And when I tried to comprehend you
It proved to be not of any worth
We once said goodbye
But the angels didn't cry
They always knew it was for the better
Although it wouldn't be forever
It felt like it was
So here I say the word I hate
But I'll say it a softer way
It's time we say goodbye
It's time that the angels cry
Better to cry once rather than forever
You would hurt again all over
And keep me crying forever
So the time for goodbye is ripe
And forever I say goodbye
And though the angels might cry
You have hurt me too many times
Better they cry once rather than forever
Goodbye my love, goodbye forever

When I Was A Young Girl
(A Song of Old Ballads)
WHEN I was a young girl, all in a green arbor,
When I was a young girl in Springtimes gone by
All the long days I went singing and smiling,
Down by the roses the sweet days beguiling,
Love in the arbor and love in the sky . . .
When I was a young girl, a young girl, a young girl,
When I was a young girl, how happy was I!
Oh, the long days I must sit at my sampler,
Oh, the slow way that the still time would go!
I longed to be running across the bright heather,
'Off with the silk gown and on with the leather,
Following the raggle-taggle gypsies, oh!'
When I was a young girl, a young girl, a young girl,
When I was a young girl, a long time ago!
When I was a young girl in days that were golden,
When I was a young girl, and life had no smart,
All the world seemed a place for my playing,
Full of great lovers to come to me, saying,
'Madam, I give you the keys of my heart . . .'
When I was a young girl, a young girl, a young girl,
When I was a young girl, and dreaming apart!
When I was a young girl, I dreamed of my lover,
A tall cavalier who should whisper me low,
'Love, on your lips are red roses a-blowing,
I am your true love, and fast is time going
Am I your true love? Oh, say yes or no!'
When I was a young girl, a young girl, a young girl–
When I was a young girl, a long time ago!
When I was a young girl there came my true lover,
Swiftly I knew him in glad days gone by;
Never a sword or a lovelock or feather,
But oh, at his touch 'twas our hearts came together,
Love in the arbor and love in the sky . . .
When I was a young girl, a young girl, a young girl,
When I was a young girl, how happy was I!

Stay For A While
Long time since Ive seen your smile,
But when I close my eyes,
I remember
You were no more than a child,
But then so was i,
Young and tender.
Time carries on;
I guess it always will,
But deep inside my heart
Time stands still.
Stay for awhile.
Well, its good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
Stay for awhile.
And remember the days gone by;
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be.
Snowfalls, phone calls, broken hearts,
Clear summer days,
Warm and lazy;
Long walks, long talks, after dark;
We vowed wed never forget.
Now its hazy.
Time takes its toll,
And time alters our view.
It would be nice to
Spend some time with you.
Oh, stay for awhile.
Well, its good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
(oohhh) stay for awhile.
And remember the days gone by;
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be.
Stay....
(please stay.)
Stay, stay, stay....
One, two, one, two.
Stay for awhile.
Well, its good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
(oohhh) stay for awhile.
And remember the days gone by;
Just the way it used to be.
Stay for awhile.
Oh, its good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
Wont you stay with me for awhile,
And remember the days gone by;
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be.
(the way it used to be. be.......
The way it used to be, ooohhhh, aaaahhhhhh. ooooooooooooooh.
Now, now, now, now.... hoohhhhhh....)

These Are The Days
Motel sitting in the dark
Empty room like an empty heart
Love will start but they never stay
They don't look back as they drive away
Maybe I
Fix this broken head light
Feeling the cracks and pain arise
And maybe love will stop here tonite
And if she knocks on my door
i'll give her the key
Just one look in her eyes and i know i'll be
Everything that she sees in me
More than i ever thought i could be but
These are the days
When all that i can do is dream
But i don't wanna spend forever
living in the in between
I'm stuck here in a place without love
And i just can't let it stay this way
But for now i'm gonna have to face it
These are the days
Gotta use this lonely time
To change the picture in my frame of mind
Outside the window theres a sunny day
I wanna feel it on my face
You and I
Are out looking for the same thing
And these walls of wondering
Waiting for someone to share this feeling
And if she knocks on my door
i'll give her the key
Just one look in her eyes and i know i'll be
Everything that she sees in me
More than i ever thought i could be but
These are the days
When all that i can do is dream
But i don't wanna spend forever
living in the in between
I'm stuck here in a place without love
And i just can't let it stay this way
But for now i'm gonna have to face it
These are the days
These are the days between your hopes and fears
These are the moments that are still locked here
There still inside even if she will not hear
Like it or not this is what i got
Ohhh God
These are the days
When all that i can do is dream
But i don't wanna spend forever
living in the in between and
I'm stuck here in a place without love
And i just can't let it stay this way (yeah)
But for now i'm gonna have to face it cause
These are the days
These are the days
When all that i can do is dream
But i don't wanna spend forever
living in the in between
I'm stuck here in a place without love
And i just can't let it stay this way
But for now i'm gonna have to face it
These are the days

Across The Universe
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away
Across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on
Across the universe
Thoughts meander like the restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter, shades of life are ringing through my open ears
Inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love, which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on and on
Across the universe
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothings gonna
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothings gonna
Noth, nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change it
Nothings gonna change it
Hey yeah, nothings gonna change it
Nothings gonna change it
Nothings gonna change it
Nothings gonna change it
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change it (nothings gonna change it)
Nothings gonna change it (no no no no no)
Nothings gonna change my world (nothings gonna change my world)

The Sound Of Your Cry
(words & music by giant - baum - kaye)
The clock by the bed is ticking too loud in the quiet night
I lie in the darkness thinking I must go before its light
Before you open up your eyes and you beg me to stay
Ill leave cause I cant stand to see you hurt this way
Sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye
Then I wont hear the sound of your cry
Though I knew the time was coming and our love would end somehow
I just couldnt bear to tell you exactly just when or how
I know we cant go on, that it was wrong to start
But if you wake up crying now, you know youll break my heart
Sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye
Then I wont hear the sound of your cry
Sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye
Then I wont hear the sound of your cry
Ohhhh, sleep my love as I kiss you, kiss you, kiss you goodbye
Then I wont hear the sound of your cry
Ohhhh, sleep my love as I kiss you

One Of These Days
(earl montgomery)
I wont have to chop no wood
I can be bad or I can be good
I can be any way that I feel
One of these days
Might be a woman thats dressed in black
Be a hobo by the railroad track
Ill be gone like the wayward wind one of these days
One of these days it will soon be all over cut and dry
And I wont have this urge to go all bottled up inside
One of these days Ill look back and Ill say I left in time
Cause somewhere for me I know theres peace of mind
I might someday walk across this land
Carrying the lords book in my hand
Goin cross the country singin loud as I can
One of these days
But I wont have trouble on my back
Cuttin like the devil with a choppin axe,
Got to shake it off my back, one of these days
One of these days it will soon be all over cut and dry
And I wont have this urge to go all bottled up inside
One of these days Ill look back and Ill say I left in time
Cause somewhere for me I know theres peace of mind
Theres gonna be peace of mind for me, one of these days

I Wont Change The Way That I Feel
Written by rick nowels & kim wilde
If I live a thousand years or more
Youll still be the one Im living for
And every night I whisper a prayer
That every day of my life you will always be there
I cant stop the world from changing
I cant say what time may reveal
But I know from now until forever
I wont change the way that I feel
About you baby...
If I only have one life to live
I will give you all I have to give
So dont believe these are faithless times
Cause as long as I live, you will always be mine
I cant stop the world from changing
I cant say what time may reveal
But I know from now until forever
I wont change the way that I feel
I wont change the way that I feel
I wont change the way I feel
I wont change the way that I feel
I wont change the way that I feel
I wont change the way that I feel
I cant stop the world from changing
I cant say what time may reveal
But I know from now until forever
I wont change the way that I feel
About you baby...
I wont change the way that I feel
I wont change the way that I feel
I wont change the way I feel
About you baby
I wont change the way that I feel
I wont change the way that I feel
I wont change the way that I feel

In These Last Few Days
In these last few days, you've been on my mind.
An' we should get together an' talk about old times.
An' put the past behind us before life slips away.
I been thinkin' 'bout you in these last few days.
In these last few days, I have felt my age.
I wish that I was younger, but time has turned the page.
I sure miss the water and the rhythm of the waves.
I've been feelin' fragile in these last few days.
But I have been a father, a husband and a son.
Lookin' back is bitter sweet now that my race has run.
I've tried to be a witness from the cradle to the grave.
Time has felt so precious in these last few days.
Instrumental break.
In these last few days, I have seen the light.
And I'll be waitin' for you on the other side.
My old friend, I love you: that's really all there's left to say.
Lay down here beside me in these last few days.
My old friend, I'll miss you, but I'm trying to be brave.
Lay down here beside me in these last few days.

One Of These Days
One of these days
One of these very ordinary days
Your going to call my name
And I won't be there
After the days
After these very,very many days
Your going to see the light
And I won't be there
And on that day
Some how I'll find the strength to stay away
I won't give in
I will not let myself be taken in
Again oh no my friend
One of these days
Out of the blue you'll start remembering
And I won't care
Cause I won't be there
Oh and on that day
I swear I'll find the strength somehow to stay away
I won't give in
I will not let myself be taken in
Again oh no my friend
Thats what I say
Thats what I tell myself I won't give in
So try it someday and you'll see that I won't be there
No you know,you know I won't be there
One of these,one of these,one of these days
I won't be there

A Bad Way Of Saying Goodbye
(trace adkins/sam hogin/jim mcbride)
You left without saying I love you
And that makes three days in a row
Now that youre tired of pretending
Its time that I let you know
I dont disagree with your feelings
We both need to find a new life
But this aint the way we should end it
Its a bad way of saying goodbye
There must be a better way of sayin' its over
Where nobody walks away with tears in their eyes
When you stay til regret is all you have left
Thats a bad way of saying goodbye
When I think of you Ill remember
How you looked at me when we met
But the way that youre looking at me now
Ill do my best to forget
Its not your fault, but its not mine
We both made mistakes though we tried
So leaving without syaing Im sorry
Is a bad way of saying goodbye
There must be a better way of saying its over
Where nobody walks away with tears in their eyes
When you stay til regret is all you have left
Thats a bad way of saying goodbye
Thats a bad way of saying goodbye

Nothing Lasts Forever
Scene: flash is on the run and he goes to belle for help.
He sings this song with belle.
Flash: when we were young and green
We shared our dreams together,
And you were my friend.
Belle: we had our good times pal,
We thought theyd last forever.
But nothing lasts forever,
Nothing lasts forever.
Time goes by and people change
Its best we go our separate ways
And it was wrong to think our love would never end
My friend
Nothing lasts forever,
Nothing lasts forever.
Time goes by it takes us all,
Nations crumble and empires fall
And who are we
To think that we would always be,
You see nothing lasts forever,
Nothing lasts forever.
Flash: I know that youll survive
And youll get by whatever.
Though you say goodbye.
My love will never die,
It will last forever.
Your love will die but mine will last forever,
Your love will fade but mine will last forever.
Your feeling might go but mine will last forever.
And though youre gone youre in my mind forever.

The First Time I Loved
The first time I loved I was blessed in some ways
with almost endless beautiful sunny days
and I walked tall, with my head held high
almost touched the blue clear sky
danced rejoicing in the rain,
kissed her again and again
and thought I would forever her keep
while she was even beautiful in her sleep
and that summer hot did the sun burn
while the days far too fast did turn
but at a time I had to wave those days goodbye
and suddenly lonesome was I.

Melody your my oldest friend I can talk to you what a day its been out there
In the mad men crush another days gone down in a dusk
Melody listen for the phone while I change my clothes he knows by now Im home
Three days waiting took its toll this trying to stop its crying is getting old
Melody remember long summer days playing grown ups in the city mamma said sleep
Sleep sleepy heads tucked in bed with yor favourite dolly oh
Melody with you ragetty charms I have looked for love in a strangers arms
Scared of going home of what theyll say you know mammas eyes could always look
Right through daddy wont be so proud of me no they wont understand like you

High Hopes
Monday morning runs to sunday night
Screaming slow me down before the new year dies
It wont take much to kill a lovin smile
And every mother with a baby cryin in her arms singin
Give me help, give me strength
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
Give me love, give me peace
Dont you know these days you pay for everything
Got high hopes
Comin from the cities, comin from the wild
I see a breathless army breakin like a cloud
Its gonna smother love its gonna shoot your hopes
Before the meek inherit theyll learn to hate themselves
Singin
Give me help, give me strength
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
Give me love, give me peace
Dont you know these days you pay for everything
Got high hopes
So tell me someone whats the price
I wanna buy some time and maybe live my life
I wanna have a wife I wanna have some kids
I want to look in their eyes and know theyre gonna stand a chance
Singin
Give me help, give me strength
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
Give me love, give me peace
Dont you know these days you pay for everything
Got high hopes

Gone are the days
My days of happiness are gone
Im feeled with days of sadness
Ive got days of gloom.
I lived my life happy once upon a time.
Now I live life sad.
My feelings awol and my emotios numb
Now gone are the good days
Replaced by the bad ones.
I ve lost my love for life.
I hate the fight.
The happy days wont return yet
They wont come back any time soon.
Those days are long gone

Stone
The days have passed, nights are gone,
I'm still in love with a stone,
The seasons changed, the clay too came,
I still hold it with no moan,
The clay comes to me in so many shapes,
Wants me to hold it, whatever it may take,
But clay can hurt me, clay may fake,
Even if it's clay, I have a heart it can break,
The season may change,
The clay may go,
Slowing my heart beat,
All time low,
Stone is hard,
Stone is black,
Stone is emotionless,
Doesn't stab at back,
The clay, the stone, both make me die,
But if a stone does, even the clay may cry...
and I'll never ask why...
It's better to live with a stone,
not clay,
Clay is soft, but it hurts,
which is not the stone's way.....
