Alfie
Whats it all about, alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
Whats it all about when you sort it out, alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give
Or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, alfie,
Then I guess its wise to be cruel.
And if life belongs only to the strong, alfie,
What will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe theres a heaven above, alfie,
I know theres something much more,
Something even non-believers can believe in.
I believe in love, alfie.
Without true love we just exist, alfie.
Until you find the love youve missed youre nothing, alfie.
When you walk let your heart lead the way
And youll find love any day, alfie.
 
 
Man of the World

Shall I tell you about my life
They say Im a man of the world
Ive flown across every tide
And Ive seen lots of pretty girls

I guess Ive got everything I need
I wouldt ask for more
And theres no one Id rather be
But I just wish that Id never been born

And I need a good woman
To make me feel like a good man should
I dont say Im a good man
Oh, but I would be if I could

I could tell you about my life
And keep you amused Im sure
About all the times Ive cried
And how I dont want to be sad anymore
And how I wish I was in love

 
 
Goodbye to Love

I'll say goodbye to love
No one ever cared if I should live or die
Time and time again the chance for love has
passed me by
And all I know of love is how to live without it
I just can't seem to find it

So I' ve made my mind up I must live my life
alone
And thought it's not the easy way
I guees I' ve always known
I' d say goodbye to love

there are no tomorrows for this heart of mine
Surely time will lose these bitter memories
And I'll find that there is someone to believe in
And to live for
Something I could live for

All the years of useless search
Have finally reached an end
Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend
From this day love is forgotten
I'll go on as best I can

What lies in the future is a mystery to us all
No one can predict the well of fortune as it falls
there may come a time when I will see that I've
been wrong
But for now this is my song

And it's goodbye to love
I'll say goodbye to love

 
 
Day after day
I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out from my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you

I remember holding you while you sleep
Every day, I feel the tears that you weep
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you

Looking out of my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you

I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you.
 
 
Let the Heartaches begin
Can hear the guitars start to play 
And very soon they say 
I was a fool to turn my love away 
And with each glass of wine I feel a glow 
And very soon I know 
I was a fool to let my baby go 
 
So let the heartaches begin 
I can't help it, I can't win 
I've lost that girl for sure 
Tears won't help anymore 
So let the heartaches begin 
I can't help it, I can't win 
I've lost that girl for sure 
But now she's gone 
I can't hold back the tears anymore 
 
I can see the couples dancin' through the night 
They hold each other tight 
As they dance in love till the morning light 
The soft embraces that they seem to share 
Just make me feel aware 
Of the lonliness I find so hard to bear 
 
So let the heartaches begin 
I can't help it, I can't win 
I've lost that girl for sure 
My tears won't help anymore 
So let the heartaches, heartaches begin 
I can't help it,you know that I just can't win 
I've lost that girl for sure 
But now that she's gone 
I can't hold back the tears anymore
 
I've lost that girl for sure
But now she's gone 

I can't hold back the tears anymore

 
 
My minds Eye

I sit here every day

lookin' at the sky

ever wondrin' why

I dream my dreams away

And I'm livin' for today

In my minds eye

 

Things are clearer than before

Showing my the way

Asking me to stay

I'll never close the door

to all these things and more

in my minds eye

 

everybody I know says I've changed

Laughin behind their hands I think their strange

 

People runnin' everywhere

Runnin' through my life

I couldn't give a damn

`cause they'll never see

all that I can see

With my minds eye

 

everybody I know says I've changed

Laughin behind their hands I think their strange

 

People runnin' everywhere

Runnin' through my life

I couldn't give a damn

`cause they'll never see

all that I can see

With my minds eye
 
 
Song For while I'm away

These words I wrote, play and sing to you
Do not convey the love I brought and bring to you
For this is a song for while I'm away
To say all the things I'd love to say

You are my life, my everything, you're all I have
You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true
You're all I have
Please heed me now these words I have to say

Now I'm headed for the border
You see this song it ends right at the start
I swore when I was younger
No one would win my heart

 

You are my life, my everything, you're all I have
You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true
You're all I have
Please heed me now these words I have to say


And far away hills look greener still
But soon they'll all slip away
It's then I'll be returning
And I'll be coming home to stay
 
 
Nevermore
There's no living in my life anymore
The seas have gone dry
And the rain's stopped falling
Please don't you cry any more
Can't you see
Listen to the breeze
Whisper to me please
Don't send me to the path of nevermore

Even the valley's below
Where the rays of the sun
Were so warm and tender
Now haven't anything to grow
Can't you see?
Why did you have to leave me?
Why did you deceive me?
You sent me to the path of nevermore
When you say you didn't love me anymore
nevermore nevermore

Even the valley's below
Where the rays of the sun
Were so warm and tender
Now haven't anything to grow
Can't you see?
Why did you have to leave me?
Why did you deceive me?
You sent me to the path of nevermore
When you say you didn't love me anymore
nevermore nevermore

 
 
To Sir with Love

Those schoolgirl days of telling tales and biting nails are gone
But in my mind I know they will still live on and on
But how do you thank someone who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
It isn't easy, but I'll try

                       

If you wanted the sky I would write across the sky in letters
That would soar a thousand feet high 'To Sir, With Love'

 

The time has come for closing books and long last looks must end
And as I leave I know that I am leaving my best friend
A friend who taught me right from wrong and weak from strong
That's a lot to learn, but what can I give you in return?

 

If you wanted the sky I would write across the sky in letters
That would soar a thousand feet high 'To Sir, With Love'

 

If you wanted the moon I would try to make a start
But I would rather you let me give my heart 'To Sir, With Love'

 
 
Lady Stardust

People stared at the makeup on his face
Laughed at his long black hair, his animal grace
The boy in the bright blue jeans
Jumped up on the stage
And lady stardust sang his songs
Of darkness and disgrace

And he was alright, the band was all together
Yes he was alright, the song went on forever
Yes he was awful nice
Really quite out of sight
And he sang all night long

Femme fatales emerged from shadows
To watch this creature fair
Boys stood upon their chairs
To make their point of view
I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey
Lady stardust sang his songs
Of darkness and dismay

And he was alright, the band was all together
Yes he was alright, the song went on forever
And he was awful nice
Really quite out of sight
And he sang all night long

Oh how I sighed when they asked if I knew his name

He was awful nice
Really quite paradise
He sang all night long

all night long
