Lighthouse
Off the coast of africa
Bound for south america
A world away from here
Is a ship that sails the sea
Is a man whos just like me
And I wish that I was there
Im a lonely lighthouse, not a ship out in the night
Im watching the sea
Shes come half-way round the world to see the light
And to stay away from me
There is a shipwreck lying at my feet
Some weary refugee from the rolling deep
Ah, would you lose it all and fall for me?
(chorus)
Couldnt we shine?
Im rolling all my golden moments into one
Like to shine like the sun for one more summer day
Shine like a lighthouse for one last summer night
Flashing on, flashing, fading away
Well if you feel lost and lonely and dont know where to go
And you hear this song on the radio
Or even if youre feeling healthy and strong
You might like to sing along
But just because I might be standing here
That dont mean I wont be wrong this time
You could follow me and lose your mind
- chorus -
Off the coast of africa
Bound for south america
A world away from here
Is a ship that sails the sea
Is a man whos just like me
And I wish that I was there

I Will Be Here For You
When you feel the sunlight
Fade into the cold night
Dont know where to turn
I dont know where to turn
And all the dreams youre dreaming
Seem to lose their meaning
Let me in your world
Baby, let me in your world
All you need is someone you can hold
Dont be sad, youre not alone
Chorus:
I will be here for you
Somewhere in the night
Somewhere in the night
Ill shine a light for you
Somewhere in the night
Ill be standing by
I will be here for you
In this world of strangers
Of cold unfriendly faces <------------
Someone you can trust
Oh theres someone you can trust
I will be your shelter
Ill give you my shoulder
Just reach out for my love
Reach out for my love
Call my name and my heart will hear
I will be there, theres nothing to fear

Jungle
I was standing in the jungle, I was feeling alright
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
I was wondering in the darkness, in the middle of the night
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
The moon began to shine, I saw a clearing ahead
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
But whats that going on, I think Im outta my head
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm.

Chooka chooka hoo la ley
Looka looka koo la ley.
A hundred animals were gathered round in the night
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
And they were singing out a lovely song under the pale moonlight
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
I stood and stared for quite a while
Then a lion sang to me and smiled:
Come join us if you so desire.
Repeat chorus
I said now please explain the meaning of this song you sing
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
Wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the might sun
And joy to everyone that rides along!

And the jungle rang in joyful harmony.

Drifting Sun
Music :ulrich roth
Lyrics:ulrich roth
Well, Im sitting on a stone
Sitting all alone
Daisies are rolling down the mountain
Well see the lonesome tramp
Whos living in the damp
Nobodys in the valley
Shine on, shine on sun
Oh its so cold right here
Shine on, shine on sun
Shine on all night long
All night long
Baby doll, Im sad and blue
Glossy wings will carry you
Well, midnight sun will never shine
These ravings of a fool
Youre thinking all about him all the time
Shine on, shine on sun
Oh its so cold right here
Shine on, shine on sun
Shine on all night long, all night long
All night long, yeah
One day baby told you sun just fades away
Forgot your life is fading, now hes in the grave
Some days like drifting haze
Some days like glowing blaze
Some days like tides of light
Some days like tides of night
One day baby told you sun just fades away
Forgot your life is fading, now hes in the grave
Some days like drifting haze
Some days like glowing blaze
Some days like tides of light
Some days like tides of night
Travelling along a tropic highway
Crazy as the world goes round and round
Hallowed heaven, night or day
Burning thing has putting the sun away
Shine on, shine on sun
Let it shine on all night long
Shine on, shine on sun
Let it shine on all night long

(This Is) A Song For The Lonely
When your standing on the edge of no where,
And there's a litle love way up,

Its Lonely
Written by orbison/melson
Every sleepy dawn wakes to find you gone,and its lonely.
All my sunny days, laugh and run away, its lonely.
(oh so lonely)
The sun dont really shine,its lonely.
Always to remind me that its only another day,
To feel this way.its lonely.lonely.
I am lonely all the time, youre not mine.
Without you I find,its lonely.
Each new starry sky, smiles and says goodbye,its lonely.
Dreams we used to share tell me you dont care, its lonely.
The moon has lost its glow, its lonely.
It is there to show me that its only another night,
I cant hold you tight, its lonely.lonely.
I know why I cry, for all the world to see.
Youre not here with me. its lonely,lonely,lonely.

Theres only one way up so your hearts got to go there
Through the darkest nights
You see the light shine bright
When heroes fall in love or war they live forever

Miss America
Early morning
A small cafe
A beautiful vision
Comes my way
I watch her hips swing
When she walks
She leaves me speechless
When she talks
I see the sunshine through her dress
Makes my heart say (yes)
Take it off take it off
Let's get it on get it on
Light a fire so sweet
Make the man within me
Desire the woman in you
[Chorus]
Miss America
Yes that's what you are
All my dreams they come true
When you do what you do
I just gotta get next to you
Miss America
Take me where you are
In the land of the free
Make a prisoner of me
Close my eyes and you're all that I see
Miss America
I see your beauty shine in every girl
Coast to coast
You're the queen of my world
You're the reason for this state I'm in
New York to LA
Skin to skin
Take it off take it off
Let's get it on get it on
Makes me strong
Makes me weak
Makes the man within me
Love the woman in you
[Chorus]
There's one thing you need to know
Oh woman
You rock my world cuz you're so
Beautiful
Miss America
Yes that's what you are

Take me where you are

Just Another Lonely Night
Michael stokes & linda stokes
Intro:
Lonely night, just one lonely night
Without you
Lonely night, just one lonely night
Without you
I remember that could september
You packed your bags and you went away
You were my only love
But you were searching for
A better life in l.a.
Oh this loneliness Im feeling
Has got my body chilling
Im in need of your touch
Wont you rescue my desire
I long to feel your fire
Im in need of your love
Chorus:
Just another night
Just another lonely night
Without you, baby
Just another night
Just another lonely night
Without you, baby
Cloudy skies look like theyre here to stay
And the sun no longer lights up my day
I wish the phone would ring
Such joy your voice would bring
I miss the stars that shine my way
Is there someone else in your heart
Thrilling you with his charms
While Im lying here alone
We never seem to meet
Down this rocky road of love
Cant you see its you Im thinking of
Chorus
Bridge:
My days are cold
And my nights are so lonely
Im like a bird without a song
Like the saying goes
Theres too many fish in the sea
Deep down inside I knew
That you were meant for me

Trouble
(stewart / omartian)
Looking out on the city tonight and Im wondering why
Trying to figure out what Im doing wrong
I am lost in an ocean of mixed emotions now
Everything I held sacred now has gone
Here am I far from home
Learning how to be alone
Silly me I should of guessed
Never settle on second best
Time for me to reassess
Chorus:
Heading into trouble
I am always heading into trouble
Sideways, downways
Heading into trouble
Now Im losing you
Its gonna be a lonely summer without you round
Ill even miss the way you sing off key
Down in the market the reggae bands wont sound the same
Old joe says without you they just dont believe
Now I am no longer sure
Whos gonna open every door
The love I take and couldnt share
The warmth I had but didnt care
To give myself I never dared
(chorus)
Hope it all goes well in the future for you my dear
Hope you find where your heart truly belongs
I dont know about me and tomorrow
cause youre gonna be a hard act to follow
Ill miss you baby every day even though youre far away
Heres to you in every way

Never Leave Your Side
I know youre feeling down
Because she broke your heart
Dont think that its the end you just gotta try and start
Over with someone
Someone whos gonna care
Care about the way you feel when no one else is there
But you gotta be patient because
Love takes some time
And you always gotta be on guard cuz true love is so hard to find
Never know who or where how or why
When the woman youve been waiting for is right before your eyes
Chorus
Whenever youre lonely
You can call on me
Cuz I promise to be there until eternity
If the mountains may fall
And the sun refused to shine
Ill be with you through it all
Whenever you hold me
I get a rush inside
You could tell by my touch that I just cant hide
They way I feel about you just feels so right
Baby I will never leave
2nd verse
So open up your eyes
And let your mind free
What youve been searching for is all disguised in me
So dont you be afraid
Cuz I wont let you down
Sweet love and honesty in you I finally found
Ill be your fantasy
Ill be your dreams at night
Dont ever have a doubt cuz the feelings oh so right
To have you here with me feels like youre heaven sent
And since youve been with me Ive been in love ever since
Chorus
Whenever youre lonely
You can call on me
Cuz I promise to be there until eternity
If the mountains may fall
And the sun refused to shine
Ill be with you through it all
Whenever you hold me
I get a rush inside
You could tell by my touch that I just cant hide
They way I feel about you just feels so right
Baby I will never leave your side
Baby...baby...baby...Ill be with you through it all...baby...baby...baby...
Baby I will never leave your side

Brokenhearted
Youve been living in a world of fiction, and you cant see whos wrong, no
Youve been living in the past, its a contradiction, and this cant carry on
When I get lonely, you will too
You better face the fact that no onell come n want you, baby
Chorus:
Welcome to the world of the brokenhearted, I welcome you
Welcome to the world of the brokenhearted, I welcome you
Youve been heading down the road to nowhere, and you dont know the way
There used to be a time Id be there, but now Ive got no need to stay
So take a look around you, remember who you are
You know you had your chance, but now youve pushed me way too far
Chorus
I know you know what it feels like to have friends that tell you wrong
When you come running to me, youll find that I can be so strong
(solo)
Youve been living in a dream, its ending, so open up your eyes
And youve been living out a lie, pretending
Fooling yourself, and you dont know why
When you get lonely, when you get down
You better face the fact that I wont be around, baby

On A Prayer
Theres a ship out on the ocean,
At the mercy of the sea.
Its been tossed about, lost and broken
Wondering aimlessly.
And God somehow you know that ship is me.
Cause theres a lighthouse in the harbor
Shining faithfully.
Pouring its light out across the water
For this sinking soul to see
That someone out there still believes in me.
Chorus:
On a prayer, in a song, I hear your voice, and it keeps me hanging on, on.
Raining down, against the wind,
Im reaching out till we reach the circles end, when you come back to me again.
Theres a moment that we all come to
In our own time, and our own space where all that weve done we can undo
If our hearts in the right place
(repeat chorus)
And again I see my yesterdays in front of me.
Unfolding like a mystery
Youre changing all that is and use to be

When you come back to me,
Again.

Nowadays Clancy Cant Even Sing
Sing, sing
Whos that stompin all over my face?
Wheres that sillhouette Im trying to trace?
And whos putting sponge in the bells I once rung
And taking my gypsy before shes begun
Just singing and a dreaming of whats in my mind
Before I can take home whats rightfully mine
Joinin and a listenin and talkin in rhymes
Stoppin the feeling to wait for the times
(*) whos saying maybe
That dont mean a thing
cause nowadays clancy cant even sing
Sing, sing
Whos all hung-up on that happiness thing?
Whos trying to tune all the bells they ring?
And whos in the corner and down on the floor
With pencil and paper just counting the score
Whos trying to act like hes just in-between?
The night isnt black, if you know that its green
Dont bother looking, youre too blind to see
Whos coming on like he wanted to be?
Repeat (*)
Whos coming home on the old 9 to 5?
Whos got the feeling here to keep him alive?
Though havin it, sharin it, aint quite the same
You painted it golden nugget, you cant lay claim
Whos seeing eyes through the crack in the floor?
There it is baby, dont you worry no more
Who should be sleepin, but s writing this song
Wishin and a-hopin he werent so damned wrong

I believe you can love someone forever
I believe if its right love will last a lifetime
If you say I will stay everyday right here by your side
Loving every night
Soft perfume and a smooth walk
A smile that dances when you talk
Sweet melody when you whisper to me
I love ya
I need ya
Im never gonna leave you
Summer mornings in your hair
Paradise in my arms and I wanna take you there
So Im down on one knee, and if youll have me
I love you
Ill please you

After the sun turns off its lights
The stars dont shine at night
When God comes for my soul
Ill politely say no
Im gonna stay till the day after
The world stops turning around

After the sun turns off its lights

There comes a time that we have to share with the world;
And today it is all about the Football World Cup!
For it is coming to Africa for the first time and,
We Africans are ready to receive the world.
We do have our hopes and dreams in Africa and,
We will never look back! !
For the glory of our continent will shine upon many,
And we will look forward for a fair play.

Let the stars of the heavens do shine upon us all;
For 2010 gathers the legs with cheers and joy,
And in South Africa to play the FIFA 2010 World Cup!

Lonely Alone
(reese wilson)
I could stop right here turn this car around.
Walk back through the door put my suitcase down.
Tell you Im sorry and things would be alright I know.
But it all comes down to the lesser of the two.
Alone by myself or alone with you.
And if I have to be lonely Id rather be lonely alone.
Chorus
Id rather miss someone out on this highway.
Than someone whos sittin just three feet away.
And Id rather be fightin some old memories,
Than to wonder if you ever really love me.
I could keep going on like I have all along.
Telling myself that theres nothin wrong.
But if I have to be lonely Id rather be lonely alone.
Repeat chorus
I dont know what Ill do, I dont know where Ill go.
Theres a lot Im not sure of but
One thing I know. if I have to be lonely,
Id rather be lonely alone. if I have to be lonely, id
Rather be lonely alone.

I Dont Know Why
Take me back in time, just before the warm sunrise
With your love inside of mine, you make my body shine
All the lonely rules were broken, one magic night
Chorus:
I dont know why
But I feel like a child today, and I want that feeling to stay
I dont know why
But I know its the only way, whenever I hear you say
Come and hold me
I can see your face in my mind when your body moves so near
Love is crossing every line and all time just disappears
All the shut? doors were opened one magic night
I dont know why
But I feel like a child today, and I want this feeling to stay
I dont know why
But I know its the only way, whenever I hear you say
Come and hold me

Yeah
I dont know why
But I feel like a child today, and I want this feeling to stay
