Dreamland Express

John Denver Dreamland Express Lyrics
1.Dreamland Express

Lyrics:John Denver
Music:John Denver

I caught a ride on the dreamland express last night
I was sailing on an ocean of blue
And right there by my side much to my surprise was you.

I said, come on over here, baby, let me look in your eyes
Let me see the very heart of you
And I couldn't believe it, to conceive that my dream would come
true.

Cause you said, hey there sweet daddy, everything is all right
For miles there's not a telephone line.
There's not a soul to disturb us, don't be nervous
Just come and be mine

CHORUS
You said, let me be the end of your rainbow
Let me be the stars up above
Let me be the one that you long for, darling
Let me be the one that you love oh oh
Let me be the one that you love.

And now it's four in the mornin', honey I can't sleep.
I can't seem to get you out of my mind
I keep tossin' and turnin', yearnin' for the sun to shine

I'd like to send you a ticket on the Dreamland Express,
And take you far away with me
I've got a vision of heaven and you livin' there with me.

CHORUS
Honey, let me be the end of your rainbow
Let me be the stars up above
Let me be the one that you long for, darling
Let me be the one that you love oh oh
Let me be the one that you love.


2.Claudette

Lyrics:Roy Orbison
Music:Roy Orbison

Oh, Oh Claudette
Oh, Oh Claudette

I got a brand new baby
And I feel so good
She loves me better
Than I thought she would
I'm on my way to her house
And I'm all out of breath
And when I see her tonight
I'm gonna squeeze her to death

Claudette
Pretty little pet, Claudette
Never make me fret, Claudette
Well, she's the prettiest little girl that I have ever met
I got the best lovin' that I'll ever get, from Claudette
Pretty little pet, Claudette
Oh, Oh Claudette

Well, I'm a lucky man - my baby treats me right
She's gonna let me hug and kiss and hold her tight
When the date is over and I'm at her front door
And when I kiss her goodnight
I holler more, more, more!

Claudette
Pretty little pet, Claudette
Never make me fret, Claudette
Well, she's the prettiest little girl that I have ever met
I got the best lovin' that I'll ever get, from Claudette
Pretty little pet, Claudette
Oh, Oh Claudette

When me and my baby have a date or three
I'm gonna ask my baby if she'll marry me
I'm gonna be so happy for the rest of my life
When my brand new baby is my brand new wife!

Claudette
Pretty little pet, Claudette
Never make me fret, Claudette
Well, she's the prettiest little girl that I have ever met
I got the best lovin' that I'll ever get, from Claudette
Pretty little pet, Claudette
Oh, Oh Claudette
Mmm, mmm Claudette
Oh, Oh Claudette
Mmm, mmm Claudette


3.Gimme Your Love

Lyrics:Jack Conrad/Frank Musker
Music:Jack Conrad/Frank Musker

Oh, spring is here and love is in the air
Overflowing with life and I don't have a care
I'm gonna see you shining like your diamond ring
Every cell in my body is singing

Gimme your love forever
Oh, oh, gimme your love
You gotta gimme your love forever
Oh, oh, gimme your love
gimme your love

All around I see signs of rebirth
Resurrection, renewal, celebration of life on earth
Baby won't you stay with me and watch your garden grow
I love you, I want you, please say you'll

Gimme your love forever
Oh, oh, gimme your love
You gotta gimme your love forever
Oh, oh, gimme your love
gimme your love

People think I'm crazy as I walk along the street
I don't understand 'em anyway
All I know is since you came my life has been so sweet
And that's the way I know it's gonna stay

Baby won't you stay with me and watch your garden grow
I love you, I want you, please say you'll

Gimme your love forever
Oh, oh, gimme your love
You gotta gimme your love forever
Oh, oh, gimme your love, love, love, love
gimme your love


4.Got My Heart Set On You

Lyrics:Dobie Gray/Bud Reneau
Music:Dobie Gray/Bud Reneau

Ever since the day I met you
I feel like I'm walking on air
And lately I'm convinced,
it's no coincidence
I run into you everywhere

And though I've heard your love is taken
I gotta believe what's in your eyes
Would I be out of line
if I suggested a time
And we get together one of these nights

Got my heart set on you
Your everything that I ever wanted
Got my heart set on you
It can't be anything but love
Baby I'm bettin' on it

I don't wanna give you the wrong impression
I'm not the kind who rushes in
But baby every time I see you,
before I even leave you
I can hardly wait to see you again

I got my heart set on you
Your everything that I ever wanted
Got my heart set on you
It can't be anything but love
Baby I'm bettin' on it

I don't mean to be comin' on strong
Or taking anything for granted
But love is a thing that just comes along
You don't understand
how it got outta hand
But you're in it right from the start

I got my heart set on you
Your everything that I ever wanted
Got my heart set on you
It can't be anything but love
Baby I'm bettin' on it


5.If Ever

Written:Stevie Wonder/Stephanie Andrews

I'd sing you a song without a word
Still you would hear my tune
I'd give you a day without a time
So it won't end too soon

Oh, anything, I would do
And that really is my point of view
If ever, my darling in my life
I ever had a chance to love you

I'd build you a world made of the dream
That dances in your head
Take a rainbow with colors bright
To hang over your bed

Anything, I would do
And that really is my point of view
If ever, my darling in my life
I ever had a chance to love you

Fate's been waiting for the right time
To put us in each other's arms
But why should we sit and waste time
To start right now would do no harm

Oh, give me a sign and I will show you
The magic of when I speak
Open your heart, let me come in
My love is yours to keep

Oh,anything, I would do
And that really is my point of view
If ever, my darling in my life
I ever had a chance to love you

If I ever had a chance to love you
If I ever had a chance to love you


6.The Harder They Fall

Lyrics:John Denver
Music:John Denver

Aspen, Colorado on a Saturday night
Jesse wishes she was at home
Upset because her baby just ain't treatin' her right
So afraid of being alone

Said she heard some stories
He's been runnin' around
Said somehow she knows it's all true
She says a breaking heart can make a terrible sound
She said she don't know what to do

Think about a bad time
Can't get much worse
Think about a hard line
Take it to the wall
This won't be the last time,
Sure ain't the first
The bigger they are,
The harder they fall

You might say she's caught
Between a rock and a hard place
You might say she just can't win
Some just can't recover from a slap in the face
Some just get right up and start all over again

Think about a bad time
Can't get much worse
Think about a hard line
Take it to the wall
This won't be the last time,
Sure ain't the first
The bigger they are,
The harder they fall

Think about a bad time
Can't get much worse
Think about a hard line
Take it to the wall
This won't be the last time,
Sure ain't the first
The bigger they are,
The harder they fall

Aspen, Colorado on a Saturday night
Jesse wishes she was at home
She's mad because her baby
Just ain't treatin' her right
So afraid of being alone
So afraid of being alone
Nobody wants to be all alone
She don't want to be all alone
So afraid of being alone
We don't want to be all alone


7.Don't Close Your Eyes, Tonight

Written:Richard Kerr/Frank Musker

There's a tenderness that I feel,
it's very real you see
I can feel your body stir, so deep within
Let it be an act of love tonight, completely
And let me ask of you one thing

CHORUS
Don't close your eyes tonight
Just look at me, and see
how many times I cried for you
Don't close your eyes tonight
Let it be me, not just a fantasy
Let it be me tonight

You can lie so close to someone
and still feel all alone
And though I've heard you say
you love me so many times
When you give me love
so beautiful and tender
Someone else is in your mind

CHORUS

Sorry if I cry- feelings run so deep
Many is the time when I wake up and find
I've been crying in my sleep
Look me in the eye,
tell me what you see
I'm the one who loves you
I'm the one who needs you
Make this one for me

CHORUS
CHORUS
CHORUS


8.A Wild Heart Looking for Home

Lyrics:John Denver/Joe Henry
Music:John Denver/Joe Henry

Life in the city gets all closed in
When you stand in a crowd all alone
Wishing that someone would call out your number
Hoping that someone might phone

Nights in the city can drive you crazy
There so very much going on
Try to get quiet, you'll miss out on something
Like someone who's looking for
Someone who's looking...

There, I almost got caught again
Lost in the night all alone
With nowhere to hide, crying inside
A wild heart looking for home

Sleeping without you is always cold
The nights are so dark and so long
Dreaming of touching your face in the moonlight
Filling the silence with song

Living without you the days are endless
The clock winding steadily down
Imagining footsteps, your hand at the gatepost
The wind shuts the open door
The wind shuts the open...

There, I almost got caught again
Lost in the night all alone
With nowhere to hide, crying inside
A wild heart looking for home

The songbird, she trembles all day long
She sings as if her poor heart must break
Watching the freedom that flies past her window
Dreaming won't fit in a cage

Fly away songbird, the wind still loves you
Your prison is forsaken at last
Follow your dreaming, you're bound up to heaven
You're reaching for something more
Reaching for something...

There, I almost got caught again
Lost in the night all alone
With nowhere to hide, crying inside
A wild heart looking...

There, I thought of your face again
A vision to have and to hold
My spirit still sings, I'm flying again
A wild heart looking for home
A wild heart looking for home


9.I'm In The Mood to be Desired

Written:Andre Martel/Katrina Walker

Another day is over
I'm on my way home
Knowing you'll be waiting
is all I need to know

'Cause I'm in the mood to be desired
Wrap your arms around me
I'm in the mood
Let's build a fire
Till the embers retire, we'll be
Lost, in a world of ecstacy

Forget about your troubles
Forget about my woes
You're the one who comforts me
Whenever I feel low

'Cause I'm in the mood to be desired
Wrap your arms around me
I'm in the mood
Let's build a fire
Till the embers retire, we'll be
Lost, in a world of ecstacy

You're everything I could imagine
You fill me up with such passion
Baby, eternity is not long enough
for you and me

'Cause I'm in the mood to be desired
Wrap your arms around me
I'm in the mood
Let's build a fire
Till the embers retire, we'll be
Lost, in a world of ecstacy


10.Trail of Tears

Lyrics:Randy Handley
Music:Randy Handley

No more beautiful moons
May we spend on our land
In the north, the scarlet council talks of war
And the long knives have massacred
The tribe and burned corn
We're not welcome in our homeland anymore

There will be a trail of tears
There will be a trail of pain
And Jackson will have the Mississippi
And the twenty-dollar bill
But for us the trail is all that will remain

No more songs of the hunters
On the buffalo plain
No more smoke from sacred fires touch these hills
And the numbers of the people
Grow fewer every mile
and our children will not learn
The Great Spirit's ways

There will be a trail of tears
There will be a trail of pain
And Jackson will have the Mississippi
And the twenty-dollar bill
But for us the trail is all that will remain

On the streets of Rapid City
On the road to Wounded Knee
There is whiskey for forgetting every thing
But the old ones say there may
Be time learning from each other
The way that it had once
Been meant to be

There is still a trail of tears
There is still a trail of pain
Jackson has got the Mississippi
And the twenty-dollar bil
But for us the trail of tears remains
Jackson has got the Mississippi
And the twenty dollar bill
But how long will the trail of tears remain


11.African Sunrise

Lyrics:John Denver
Music:John Denver

African sunrise, shine on a brand new day
African sunrise, show us a brand new way
Give us a brand new morning
Show us forever beginning to stand on our own

African sunrise, smile on my African home
In this hour of quiet contemplation
The stillness of the dawning calms my mind
I face the day with heartfelt exaltation
The light is both a promise and a sign

In the darkness we have lost the son of our sister
Though the beauty of his spirit lingers still
This was a child of love, a child of laughter
Who cannot understand the way I feel

Is it not the sun that gives the seasons
Is it not the sun that brings the rain
Our throats are choked with dust,
But we're still singing
Our song will not be silenced by the pain

All around the village
I could hear the roosters crowing
There was a time it was like music to my ears

Now all I can hear is the sound
Of hungry babies crying
I pray for rain to wash away their tears

African sunrise, light of a brand new day
African sunrise, light of a brand new way
With one who will be our brother
And one who will be our partner
And teach us to know

African sunrise, smile on my African home
African sunrise.....
African sunrise.....
