1.I dream of Jeannie
I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair
Born like a vapor on the summer air
I see her tripping where the bright streams play
Happy as the daisies that dance on her way.
Many were the wild notes her merry voice would pour,
Many were the blithe birds that warbled them o'er
I dream of Jeannie with the light brown hair
Floating like a vapor on the soft, summer air.
I long for Jeanie with the daydawn smile,
Radiant in gladness, warm with winning guile,
I hear her melodies, like joys gone by,
Sighing 'round my heart o'er the fond hopes that die
Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain,
Wailing for the lost one that comes not again.
I long for Jeanie with my heart boys low,
Never more to find her where the bright waters flow.
I sigh for Jeanie, but her light form strayed
Far from the fond hearts 'round her native glade;
Her smiles have vanished and her sweet songs flown,
Flitting like the dreams that have cheered us and gone,
Now the nodding wild flow'rs may wither on the shore
While her gentle fingers will cull them no more
Oh! I sigh for Jeanie with the light brown hair,
Floating, like a vapor, on the soft summer air.
2.Purple Rain
I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time see you laughing
I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend
I could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
I only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain
Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out for something new
That means you too
You say you want a leader
But u can't seem to make up your mind
I think u better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
If you know what I'm singing about up here
C'mon raise your hand
Purple rain Purple rain
I only want to see you, only want to see you
In the purple rain
3.Like a swallow
He's like the swallow that flies so high,
He's like the river that never runs dry.
He's like the sunshine on the lee shore,
He was my love, my love is no more.
Out in the garden,
I'm picking roses, how could he not
The more he picked and the more he pulled,
Until I gathered an apron full.
She climbed on yonder hill above
To give a rose unto her love.
She gave him one, she gave him three
She gave her heart for company.
And as they sat on yonder hill
His heart grew hard, so harder still.
He has two hearts instead of one.
She says, 'Young man, what have you done？'
'How foolish, foolish you must be
To think I love no one but thee.
The world's not made for one alone,
I take delight in everyone.'
Out of these roses he made a bed,
A stony pillow for his head.
He lay his head down, no word he spoke
....
4.Sailing
I am sailing, I am sailing,
home again 'cross the sea.
I am sailing, stormy waters,
to be near you, to be free.
I am sailing, I am sailing,
home again 'cross the sea.
I am sailing, I am sailing,
stormy waters, to be free.
I am flying, I am flying,
like a bird 'cross the sky.
I am flying, passing high clouds,
to be with you, to be free.
Can you hear me, can you hear me
thro' the dark night, far away,
I am dying, forever trying,
to be with you, who can say.
Can you hear me, can you hear me,
thro' the dark night far away.
I am dying, forever trying,
to be with you, who can say.
We are sailing, we are sailing,
home again 'cross the sea.
We are sailing stormy waters,
to be near you, to be free.
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free.
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free,
Oh Lord.
5.Bird on a Wire
Like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a worm on a hook,
like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If I have been unkind,
Please just let it go by.
If I have been untrue
It was never to you.
Like a baby, stillborn,
like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song
and by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
It was never to you
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
He said to me, 'You must not ask for so much.'
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
She cried to me, 'Hey, why not ask for more？'
Oh like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
6.I came so far for beauty
I came so far for beauty
I left so much behind
My patience and my family
My masterpiece unsigned
I thought I'd be rewarded
For such a lonely choice
And surely she would answer
To such a very hopeless voice
I practiced all my sainthood
I gave to one and all
But the rumours of my virtue
They moved her not at all
I changed my style to silver
I changed my clothes to black
And where I would surrender
Now I would attack
I stormed the old casino
For the money and the flesh
And I myself decided
What was rotten and what was fresh
And men to do my bidding
And broken bones to teach
The value of my pardon
The shadow of my reach
But no, I could not touch her
With such a heavy hand
Her star beyond my order
Her nakedness unmanned
7.Lonesome Road
Look down - look down
That lonesome road
(Lay down your head and cry)
Before you travel on
Look up - look up
And seek your maker
Before (Mr.) Gabriel blows his horn
(I'm) Weary (of) toting - such a (heavy) load
Trudging down - the (that) lonesome road
Look down - look down
That lonesome road
Before (before) you travel on
True love - true love
What have I done
That you should treat me so
You - caused me
To walk and talk
Like I never did before
(I'm) Weary (of) toting - such a (heavy) load
Trudging down - the (that) lonesome road
Look down - look down (look down - look down)
That lonesome road
Before (before) you (decide to) travel on
8.Reason to believe
If I listen long enough to you,
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true.
Knowing, that you lied, straight-faced, while I cried.
Still I look to find a reason to believe.
Someone like you makes it easy to give from myself
Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else
If I gave you time to change my mind,
I'd find a way to leave the past behind.
If I listen long enough to you,
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true.
Knowing, that you lied, straight-faced, while I cried.
Still I look to find a reason to believe.
Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else.
Someone like you makes it easy to give in everything about
myself.
9.Love hurts
Love hurts love scars love wounds and mars
any heart not tough nor strong enough
to take a lot of pain take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud holds a lot of rain.
Love Hurts uh - uh Love Hurts.
I'm young I know but even so
I know a thing or two I've learned from you
I've really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a stove burns you when it's hot
Love Hurts Uh - Uh Love hurts.
Some fools rave of happiness blissfullness togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess, but they're not fooling me
I know it isn't true, no it isn't true
Love is just a lie, made to make you blue
Love hurts Uh - uh love hurts.
10.People Are Strange
People are strange
When you're a stranger
Faces look ugly
When you're alone
Women seem wicked
When you're unwanted
Streets are uneven
When you're down
When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
11.Come to Me
Come to me my love
Come back to me
To me my love
Come to me
