The key to happiness is truth
the key to truth is love
these are...
...the keys of the kingdom
I've been thinking The way people do 'Bout the things that matter To me and you I've decided To do what I can And to find the kind of man I really am I can see the world from here And it sometimes makes me Want to disappear Back to nature That's where we belong And with just one truth I've found You can't go wrong Wherever you go Whatever you do Whatever you say Say, say, say Say it with love. I remember A long time ago When I heard those guitars That I worship so I was captured I wanted to stay And to hear that kind of music Everyday Heard the songs Around the world Saw the smiling faces On the boys and girls I was destined To play come what may And there's just one thing I knew I had to say Wherever you go Whatever you do Whatever you say Say, say, say Say it with love. Underneath A sea of doubt There's a million voices shouting Let me out, let me out When we go We never return 'Cos there's just one lesson That we got to learn Wherever you go Whatever you do Whatever you say Say, say, say Say it with love Say it with love Say it with love Say it with love Say it with love.
Like the rose that blooms in the wintertime As it reaches up through the snow The more life keeps apart The more love will grow Like the seed that grows in the darkness As it reaches up to the sun I will always reach out for you 'Cos you are the one I bless the wings that bring you back to me Back across the shore If I could touch you now my darling And love you just once more If I could hold you, hold you, hold you, I know you'd understand, I know you'd understand. As I cross the bridge by the waterfall As I make my way by the stars There's a shadow walking beside me Here in my heart Like the restless wind in the tree tops Like a whispered voice in my ear I will always be there for you I'll always be here I bless the wings that bring you back to me Back across the shore If I could touch you now my darling And love you just once more If I could hold you, hold you, hold you, I know you'd understand, I know you'd understand. In a far off wonderland That flashes past my eyes The kiss of inspiration that was mine The dust of many centuries Has blown across this land But love will not be scattered by the sand Like the sunrise over the mountainside Like the bird that has to be free There's a part of you that will always be Part of me Like the seed that grows in the darkness I will always reach out for you 'Cos you are the one I bless the wings that bring you back to me Back across the shore If I could touch you now my darling And love you just once more If I could hold you, hold you, hold you, I know you'd understand, I know you'd understand, I know you'd understand, I know you'd understand.
Walking home with you last night You said the world is beautiful And how things look that way when you're in love I love this world When I'm in your arms Is this heaven? I opened up the letter that the Postman gave to me this morning Had to stop myself from shouting out "I love this world" When I'm in your arms Is this heaven When I'm in your arms Is this heaven I know that heaven waits For those whose love is true I want to be there when The age of love is come again Tell me all about yourself And how you came to me like in a dream And every night I dream of you I dream of you When I'm in your arms Is this heaven When I'm in your arms Is this heaven I know that heaven waits For those whose love is true I want to be there when The age of love is come again I sit and watch the sun go down And in the darkness there's no sound While in the sky tonight the stars all cry "I love you" Are they crying out over you 'Cos you're in my heart Is this heaven? 'Cos the story starts and ends with you
Say what you mean Mean what you say Say what you mean Mean what you say Think about the words That you're using Speak for yourself Say what's on your mind Think about the life That you're choosing Whenever you need somebody Whenever you're looking For somebody who knows When trouble won't leave you alone. Say what you mean Mean what you say Look into the world of tomorrow Say what you want Want what is true Check out of the room Full of sorrow I'm ready to take you with me I'm ready to be the one Who's there by your side When you've just got Nowhere to hide. And oh, The angels will walk with you Whenever you need them Yeah, the glory that comes with love Yeah, yeah, yeah And oh, The treasure that waits for us Whenever we need it Now, I just can't hold it back Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The work and the pain The thunder and the rain The word of the earth has been spoken The bird on the wing Free as the wind Knowing that the spell Has been broken Now you can laugh with meaning Now you can throw away The cloak of disguise As you turn your face To the sky The blue of the night The secrets of the light The touch of the hand That can lead you I known you recognize The shiver of surprise Then you realize That he's seen you Into the strange unknown of love Standing before me How your nakedness shows Now I just can't leave you alone Ah oh, I'm ready to take you now Whenever you want to go Yeah, my heart is there for you Yeah, yeah, yeah And oh, The glory that comes with love For always and ever, now Now you can feel me love Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Say what you mean, mean what you say Say what you mean, mean what you say Let's walk into the forest Only witnessed by the moon And the breeze that once would chill us Now excites Say what you mean, mean what you say And we'll touch the secret places As the earth beneath us breathes And the raw exquisite ecstasy Rushes in Say what you mean, mean what you say Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lean on me I'll be there Whenever you need someone To share in every prayer In every dream You've left somewhere 'Till tomorrow Will be just like it was when we were young 'Cos tonight I'm gonna take you where I've never taken you before Lean on me I'm every where Where ever you look I'll be Forever yours The northern lights The southern cross I'll give to you 'Till tomorrow Will be just like it was when we were young 'Cos tonight I'm gonna take you where I've never taken you before If you're lonely You know where you can find me You know there's no escape when you are on your own And if you're worried And you can see your world slip through your fingers I'll reach out for you in my heart There's no more dancing in the dark You're not alone Tomorrow Will be just like it was when we were young 'Cos tonight I'm gonna take you where I've never taken you before Will be just like it was when we were young Tonight I'm gonna take you where I've never taken you before Will be just like it was when we were young
I see the headlights Shining on the wall It seems I've got a visitor Who is kind enough to call And I hope and I pray, everyday I hope and I pray it's you. I thought I heard some footsteps On the floor And tell me am I dreaming Or is it someone at the door 'Cos I hope and I pray Everyday I hope and pray, it's you Autumn turns to winter And winter turns to spring I only know the passing of the days And if you were to ask me About the meaning of my life It kind of lost it's meaning On the day you went away You know that when it comes To matters of the heart I thought I had it covered But it's tearing me apart And I hope and I pray Everyday I hope and I pray, it's you. Autumn turns to winter And winter turns to spring The summer sun still lingers In my head If it wasn't for the letters That you wrote me from the heart I'd sometime wonder baby If I dreamed it all instead You see I've got to feel your hand Upon my face I need to get the calling To rejoin the human race And I hope and I pray Every day I hope and I pray, it's you.
When the fantasy we live in Lies in pieces on the ground And there is no false illusion That can turn your heart around Nothing can change the way I feel Nothing can take your love from me If only I didn't worry If only I could see If only I could see Chasing shadows on the wall Chasing shadows as they dance on the floor Chasing dreams that were forever young Now I'm on my own Chasing shadows on the wall Shadows on the wall On the sea of mediocrity Drifting from a distant shore No goodbyes no celebration No-one there to close the door Only the silence that I feel Only the lonely road is real If only I didn't loose you If only we could be If only we could be Chasing shadows on the wall Chasing shadows as they dance on the floor Chasing dreams that were forever young Now I'm on my own Chasing shadows on the wall Shadows on the wall Chasing shadows on the wall Chasing shadows as they start to fall Chasing dreams that were forever young Chasing shadows on the wall Chasing shadows on the wall Chasing shadows as they dance on the floor Chasing shadows on the wall
Just ask me once Don't ask me twice Never ask me three times I don't give that much advice I took my chance at the first opportunity To wander through this world And to do what comes so naturally Once is enough Just ask me once Once is enough Just ask me once Sometimes you're first Sometimes you're last Then again you're somewhere In your "days of future passed" If you can find yourself and know just where you are Don't let the wind turn you You're stronger than you think you are Once is enough Just ask me once Once is enough Just ask me once Once I was rich Once I was poor Once I was no-one I ain't no-one anymore Once in a lifetime there's a chance that comes your way Take it with both your hands and be somebody for a day Once is enough Just ask me once Once is enough Just ask me once
Deep peace of the running wave to you Deep peace of the flowing air to you Deep peace of the quiet earth to you Deep peace of the shining star to you Deep peace of the son of peace to you One man stood firm guarding cups overflowing Brimful of memories and yesterday's dreams He could never explain his own silent thunder The ocean just blows rough at this time of year And the wheel keeps on turning The wheel keeps on turning The wheel keeps on turning Turning around Away we will sail with all our flags flying Too many changes can cause us delay Each star in the sky is there for a reason Making it so bright for this time of day And the wheel keeps on turning The wheel keeps on turning The wheel keeps on turning This fool made it round
When I look in your eyes I can't see why There's no reflection of me When I look in your heart Let it be the start Work your magic on me When I look in your eye I can't see why It's all a mystery to me When I ask you to look inside and tell me why Nothing can change what will be Baby work your magic on me Baby work your magic on me I'm in a state of permanent confusion Without your love Without your love Baby work your magic on me When I look in your mind Is there a reason why It's all an illusion to me I was lost in the game That only two can play When you work your magic on me Baby work your magic on me Baby work your magic on me I'm in a state of permanent confusion Without your love Without your love Baby work your magic on me What kind of love is this you're talking about It's got no reason got no easy way out What kind of love as got a hold of me What kind of love What kind of love What kind of love Baby work your magic on me When I look in your eye I can see why There's no reflection of me I should have known from the start That you would steal my heart If you work all your magic on me Baby work your magic on me Baby work your magic on me I'm in a state of permanent confusion Without your love Without your love I know I want to be with you tonight Baby work your magic on me
Sailing along The river of time Adrift on dreams Through midnight chimes Positively frozen Crystal Waterfalls The mountain of hope Is there to be climbed The sea of serenity Is rightfully mine Step on to the water Knowing what is true Never blame the rainbows for the rain And learn to forget the memories That cause you pain The last whispered wish of age Is to live it all again So never blame the rainbows for the rain The beat of my heart The rythm of love The earth that's beneath us The heavens above I can hear forever Calling out to me The changes we go though Are making me strong The shelter of friendship Is where we belong Look into the future Knowing what we see Never blame the rainbows for the rain And learn to forget the memories That cause you pain The last whispered wish of age Is to live it all again So never blame the rainbows for the rain The whirpool of doubt Can spin you around The wave of emotion Takes you up Pulls you down Leaving far behind us Sweet young passions spray Never blame the rainbows for the rain And learn to forget the memories That cause you pain The last whispered wish of age Is to live it all again So never blame the rainbows Never blame the rainbows Never blame the rainbows for the rain
