AIN'T NO SUNSHINE
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
It's not warm when he's away
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And he always gone too long anytime he goes away
I wonder this time where he's gone
Wonder how long he's gonna stay
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime he goes away
Well I know I know I know...
When he's gone
Always gone too long anytime he goes away
Anytime he goes away
Anytime he goes away

AMERICAN TUNE
Many's the time I've been mistaken
And many times confused
Many's the time I've been forsaken
And certainly abused
But it's all right, it's all right
You can't be forever blessed
When I think of another working day
I've just got to get some rest
I've got to get some rest
I don't know a soul who's not been battered
Don't have a friend who feels at ease
Don't know a dream that's not been shattered
Or driven to its knees
Oh but it's all right, it's all right
We've lived so well so long
And when I think of the road we've travelled on
So far away from home
So far away from home
And I dreamed I was dying
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
And looking back down at me
Smiled reassuringly
And I dreamed I was flying
And high up above my eyes could clearly see
The Statue of Liberty
Sailing away to sea
In a dream I was flying
We come on the ship they call the Mayflower
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
We come in the age's most uncertain hour
And we sing an American tune
Oh but it's all right, it's all right
You can't be forever blessed
And when I think of another working day
I've just got to get some rest
I've got to get some rest

ANNIVERSARY SONG
Today has been a special day
An anniversary, a request
That you play your piano
As the evening sun slowly sets
Chorus
I never thought I d get this old dear
Never had a reason to live so long
And the Lord s been like my shadow
Even when I was wrong
No I never thought it would turn out this way
A birthday with apologies
For all the tears and the rest
And I ve always saved your poetry
For those years when you forget
Chorus
So sing with me softly
As the day turns to night
And later I ll dream of paradise with you
I love you and good night
EVA CASSIDY
AT LAST
At last my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Ohh yeah
At last the skies above are blue
And my heart was wrapped in clover
The night I looked at you
I found a dream that I could speak to
A dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Oh yeah yeah
You smiled ohh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last
For you are mine at last

AUTUMN LEAVES
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hand I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hand I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

BLUE SKIES
Blue skies smiling on me
Nothing but blue skies do I see
Blue birds singing a song
Nothing but blue skies from now on.
I never saw the sun shining so bright
When you re in love everything s right
Watching all the days hurrying by
When you re in love my how they fly
Those blue days all of them gone
And nothing but blue sky from now on

BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS
When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I'm on your side. When times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out,
When you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part.
When darkness comes
And pain is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on silvergirl
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

CHEEK TO CHEEK
Heaven, I'm in heaven
and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, heaven, I'm in heaven
and the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, I love to go out fishing
in an ocean or a creek
But it wouldn't thrill me half as much as
dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, I love to climb a mountain
and reach the highest peak
But it wouldn't thrill me half as much as
dancing cheek to cheek
Won't you come and dance with me
I want my arms about you
The charms about you
will carry me through
To heaven, I'm in heaven
The cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, won't you come and dance with me
I want my arms about you
The charms about you
will carry me through
To heaven, I'm in heaven
The cares that hung around me through the week
seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
Oh, when we're out together
out together
When we're out together
dancing cheek to cheek

DANNY BOY
Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling.
From Glenn to Glenn and down the mountain side.
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying.
'Tis you, 'tis you must go, and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow.
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow.
'Tis I'll be there in Sunshine or in Shadow
Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so.
And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be.
You'll come and find the place where I am lying.
And kneel and say an Ave for me.
And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be.
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

DARK END OF THE STREET (BONUS TRACK)
EVA CASSIDY
DARK EYED MOLLY
Deep and dark are my true love's eyes,
Blacker still is the winter's turning,
As the sadness of parting proves.
And brighter now is the lantern burning
That lightens my path to love.
No fiddle tune will take the air,
But I will see his swift feet dancing
And the swirl of his dark brown hair,
His smiling face and his dark eyes glancing
As we stepped out Blinkbonny Fair.
And if my waiting prove in vain,
Then I will pack and track ever take me.
The long road will ease my pain.
No jewel of mankind would ever make me
Whisper love's words again.
For in drink I'll seek good company,
My ears will ring with the tavern's laughter,
And I'll hear not his last sweet sigh.
And who's to know in the morning after
How I long for his dear dark eyes
How I long for his dear dark eyes
How I long for his dear dark eyes

DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
I've been out here for so very long
I've lost all my direction
Baby, when you came my way
I thought I had found my protection
But a strong wind came into my life
It surely took me by surprise
I can't seem to control these tears
That are falling from my eyes
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
Sea of love
Baby, I depended on you
For our love navigation
Now you've gone and deserted me
Can't you see that I'm in desperation
I'm in the middle of a bad love storm
Ooh yeah I wasn't ready for
I look around and all I can see
Is water pouring over me
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
I've been out here for so very long
I've lost all my direction
Baby, when you came my way
I thought I had found my protection
But a strong wind came into my life
It surely took me by surprise
I can't seem to control these tears
That are falling from my eyes
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love

EARLY MORNING RAIN
In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand
I'm a long way from home and I miss my loved ones so
In the early morning rain with no place to go
Out on runway number nine, big seven o seven set to go
But I'm stuck here on the ground with a cold wind that grows
You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train
So I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain
Hear the mighty engines roar, see the silver bird on high
She's away and westward bound, far above my home she'll fly
Where the morning rain don't fall and the sun always shines
She'll be flying that's my home in about three hours time
In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand
I'm a long way from home and I miss my loved ones so
In the early morning rain with no place to go
In the early morning rain with no place to go

EASY STREET DREAM
It's Sunday morning
I can feel inside the facts
You shake out your body
And you wake up what's late
You spent too much money last night
And I had too much to drink
Spending too much time with myself
And I don't know what to think
Any love is easy
Falls down like rain
Any love is easy
Goes out with a bad name
Any love that you find on easy street
Can only be a dream
Any love that you find on easy street
Can only be a dream
It was only for pleasure
Our love took a backseat
My heart went crazy
And my whole life skipped a beat
Shallow deed took motion down to kill it after a taste
Staring to the future now I can only see your face
Any love is easy
Falls down like rain
Any love is easy
Goes out with a bad name
Any love that you find on easy street
Can only be a dream
Any love that you find on easy street
Can only be a dream
Only a dream
Only a dream...

FEVER
Never know how much I love you, never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me, I get a fever that's so hard to bear
You give me fever, when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the the morning, fever all through the night.
Bless my soul I love you, take this heart away
Take these arms I never use them
And just believe what I might have to say
You give me fever when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the the morning, fever all through the night.
Listen to me baby, hear every word I say
No one can love you the way that I do
Cause they don't know how to love you in my way
You give me fever, when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the the morning, fever all through the night.
Sun lights up the daytime, the moon lights up the night
My eyes light up when you call my name, because I know you're gonna treat me right
You give me fever, when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the the morning, fever all through the night.
When you kiss me, fever all through the night
Fever all through the night.

FIELDS OF GOLD
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in the fields of gold
We'll walk in the fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold

Well he's the, lowest man
That I've ever seen
He wears high trimmed pan
Stripes are really yellow
Well he wears high trimmed pan
Stripes are really yellow
But when he starts to love me
He's so fine and mellow
Love will make you gamble
And stay out all night long
Love will make you gamble
And stay out all night long
Love will make you do things
You always thought was wrong
But if you treat me right baby
I ll stay home everyday
Said if you treat me right baby
I ll stay home everyday
But you're so darned mean
I just know you're gonna drive me away
But if you treat me right baby

GOD BLESS THE CHILD
Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child who's got his own

Yes, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child who's got his own
Who's got his own
Money, you've got lots of friends
Hanging round your door
Then it's gone, and the money ends
They don't come along no more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself baby
Oh don't you take too much
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child who's got his own
Who's got his own
Money, you've got lots of friends

HALLELUJAH, I JUST LOVE HIM
Let me tell you 'bout a boy I know
He's my baby and he lives next door
And every morning when the sun comes up
He brings me coffee in my favorite cup
That's why I know
Yes I know
Hallelujah, I just love him so
When I call him on the telephone
And tell him that I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four
I hear him knockin' on my door
In the evenin' when the sun goes down
And there is nobody else around
He kisses me and he holds me tight
And whispers Baby, everything is alright
That's why I know
Yes I know
Hallelujah, I just love him so
When I call him on the telephone
And tell him that I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four

I CAN ONLY BE ME
Butterflies begin
From having been another
As a child is born, from being in a mother's womb
But how many times have you wished you were some other
than someone who you really are
Yeah who's to say that if all were uncovered
You will like what you see
You can only be you
Cause I can only be me
Flowers cannot bloom
Until it is their season
As we would not be there
Unless it was our destiny
But how many times have you wished to be in spaces
Time places than what you were
Yeah who's to say that unfamiliar places
You could anymore be loving you that you see
You can only be you
Cause I can only be me

So I'd know you by heart.
Mornings in April
Sharing our secrets
We'd walk until the morning was gone.
We were like children
Laughing for hours
The joy you gave me lives on and on.
'Cause I know you by heart.
I still hear your voice
On warm Summer nights
Whispering like the wind.
(Oh oh ohh )
You left in Autumn
The leaves were turning
I walked down roads of orange and gold.
I saw your sweet smile
I heard your laughter
You re still here beside me every day.
'Cause I know you by heart,

I WANDERED BY A BROOKSIDE
I wandered by a brookside
I wandered by a mill
I could not hear the water
The murmuring it was still
Not a sound of any grasshopper
Nor the chirp of any bird
But the beating of my own heart
Was the only sound I heard
The beating of my own heart
Was the only sound I heard
Then silent tears fast flowing
When someone stood beside
A hand upon my shoulder
I knew the touch was kind
He drew me near and nearer
We neither spoke one word
But the beating of our own two hearts
Was the only sound I heard
The beating of our own two hearts
Was the only sound I heard

And springs to go to
When you are married, Lord
You know you got it all to do.

Oh baby, how you drove me crazy

I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls
My mind s distracted and confused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you re asleep
Kiss you when you start the day
And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There before the grace of you go I

I need someone s arms to hold and squeeze me tight
And when the night begins and until it ends
Oh baby I need your love so bad

I need someone to stand up and tell me when I m lying
And when the lights are low and till it s time to go
Mmm I need your love so bad
So go home and give it up baby, bring it on home to me
Write it on a piece of paper so that it can be read to me
Tell me that you love me, stop driving me mad

Daddy left this gas & convenience store just before he died
And I was only nineteen when I had my third baby
And sometimes I think maybe I should ve left here long ago
Travellers are stopping by, check their oil and their p.s.i.
Gas up and away to fly, moving down the line
But this beat up truck & worn out shoes always give me the blues
Billy sucking down the booze nearly every night
Chorus
I never seen the city lights
How they must shine so bright
Not like this country night
The sky s black as coal
And this gas station mountain home
Not a thing to call my own
How I wish I was alone
With a penny to my name
Strangers say this mountain here is beautiful beyond compare
But it s just a dumb old mountain; I see it every day
If I could see sunset skies over fields of green or ocean tides,
City skyline in the night, I ll be dancing till the dawn
Chorus
Bill and I got married following our first born
Daddy left this gas & convenience store just before he died
Maybe Bill & I someday will find a chance to get away
Until then it s here I ll stay wishing on a star
Chorus

SAY GOODBYE
It s funny how the distance can make you feel close
And the things you lost are the things you want most
The weather s fine here perfect shade of blue
I guess that s why I ve been thinking of you
Chorus
So I call you up just to tell you why
Why I left you and say goodbye
Ooh must be the mood I m in
I m thinking of you again
I call you up just to tell you why
Why I left you and say goodbye
I know you re different now and I guess I changed too
And I thought what was once so right was so wrong for you
Yesterday I was talking and I heard your name
The weather s fine here with a slight chance of rain
Chorus
Time makes you sorry for the things that you ve done
Sometimes you walk away and sometimes you run
And the weather s fine here; I can feel a slight chill
Somethings change babe and some never will
Chorus
I call you up just to tell you why
To say I love you and to say goodbye

SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
In the land that I heard of once
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams
That you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like melon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you find me
Someday I wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams
That you dare to dream
Really do come true
If happy little bluebirds fly
Above the rainbow, why
Oh, why can't I?

STILL NOT READY FOR GOOD TIMES
Don't make fun we've just begun
Let's not play just for today
Take it slow you'll have to go
I think we're through
I'm still not ready for good times
Don't ask me why
Never try laughter before sorrow
Cross the room let's not assume
We can't forgive the way we've been
It's getting cold now so please close the open door
And all the windows on my soul

STORMY MONDAY
They call it stormy Monday but Tuesday s just as bad
They call it stormy Monday but Tuesday s just as bad
Wednesday is worse and Thursday s also sad
The eagle flies on Friday; Saturday I go out to play
The eagle flies on Friday; Saturday I go out to play
Sunday I go to church, hmm ,
That s when I get down on my knees and pray
I said Lord have mercy,
Oh Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy on me
Yeah Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy on me
Don t you know I m just trying to find my baby
Won t somebody please send him on home to me
Oh yeah

Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me,
Don t you know I m just trying to find my baby
Won t somebody please send him on home to me

TAKE ME TO THE RIVER
I don t know why I love you like I do
After all the changes you put me through
Stole my money, my cigarettes
I haven t seen the worst of it yet
I wanna know boy, won t you tell me
Tell me how can I stay here with you
Chorus
Won t you take me to the river
Wash me down
Take me to the river
Put my feet back on the ground
I don t know why you treat me so bad
After all the good times that we ve had
You re sixteen candles that burn on my wall
Now who s the biggest fool of us all
I wanna know, won t you tell me
Tell me how can I stay here with you
Chorus
Hold me squeeze me love me
And you can tease me
Till I can t take it no more
Oh yeah yeah yeah
I don t know why I love you like I do
After all the changes you put me through
Love is a notion I can t forget
My sweet sixteen I would never regret
I wanna know, won t you tell me
Tell me how can I stay here with you

TALL TREES IN GEORGIA
Tall trees in Georgia,
They grow so high
They shade me so
And sadly walking
Through the thicket I go
The sweetest love I ever had
I left aside
Because I did not want
To be any man s bride
But now I m older
And married I would be
I found my sweetheart
But he would not marry me
When I was younger
The boys all came around
But now I m older
And they ve all settled down
Control your mind my girl
And give your heart to one
For if you love all men
You ll be surely left with none
Tall trees in Georgia,
They grow so high
They shade me so
And sadly walking
Through the thicket I go

TENNESSEE WALTZ
I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to meet
I had a new distance to my darling, while they were dancing
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
I know now just what I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin'
The night they were playin the beautiful Tennessee Waltz
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
I know now just what I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin'
The night they were playin the beautiful Tennessee Waltz
Oh the beautiful Tennessee Waltz

Sell me a ticket for that airplane

Lonely days are gone I m coming home

Lonely days are gone I m coming home

Well he wrote me a letter
Said he couldn t live without me no more
Ohh listen Mister can you see

THE WATER IS WIDE
The water is wide I can not get o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that will carry two
And both shall row my love and I
O love is handsome and love is fine
And love's a jewel when it's first new
But love grows old then waxes gold
And fades away like morning dew
There is a ship it's sailing the sea
It's loaded deep as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or swim
The water is wide I can not get o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that will carry two
And both shall row my love and I
And both shall row my love and I
EVA CASSIDY
TIME AFTER TIME
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion
Is nothing new
Flashback warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories
Time after
Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said
Then you say go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
Chorus
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows you're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time
Chorus
You said go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
Chorus
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

TIME IS A HEALER
I found a picture of your smiling face
Bringing old memories that I had locked away
The burden of anger from a heart filled with pain
Was finally lifted and I smile at you again
Chorus
If time is a healer
Then all hearts that break
Are put back together again
'Cause love heals the wound it makes
I spoke such harsh words before goodbye
Well I wanted to hurt you for the tears you made
You made me cry
All my hopes and dreams, well they started vanishing
Those tender hurt feelings became a dangerous thing
Chorus
All of the years we spent together
Well they re part of my life forever
I hold the joy with the pain
And the truth is I miss you my friend
Chorus

TRUE COLORS
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness there inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
See your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember when I last saw you laugh
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I see your true colors
Shining through
See your true colors
That's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
Ohhhh
I can't remember when I last saw you laugh
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up

WAYFARING STRANGER
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While journeying through this world of woe;
And there s no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright world to which I go.
I m going there to see my Father,
I m going there no more to roam;
I m only go going over Jordan,
I m only go going over home.
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me,
I know my way is rough and steep;
And beautiful fields lie just before me,
Where God s redeemed there vigils keep.
I m going there to see my Father,
I m going there no more to roam;
I m only go going over Jordan,
I m only go going over home.
I m going there to see my mother,
I m going there no more to roam;
I m only go going over Jordan,
I m only go going over home.
I want to wear that crown of glory,
When I get home to that good land;
Well I want to shout salvation s story,
In concert with ohh the blood washed band,
I m going there to see my Saviour,
I m going there no more to roam;
I m only go going over Jordan,
I m only go going over home.
Well I m only go going over home.
Yeah only go going over home.

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD
I see trees that are green, red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, ohh what a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of the people passing by
I see friends shaking hands, saying, how do you do?
But they're really saying, I love you
I see trees that are green and red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, oh what a wonderful world

WOODSTOCK
I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him Tell me where are you going?
This he told me
I'm going down to Yasgur's farm
Gonna join in a rock and roll band
Got to get back to the land
And get my soul free
We are stardust, we re golden
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden
Can I walk along beside you
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel like I m a part
Of something turning round and round
And maybe it s the time of year
Maybe it's the time of man
And I don't know who I am
But life is for learning ...
We are stardust, we re golden
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden
By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere was the song
And the celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bomber jet planes
Riding shotgun in the sky
And they were turning into butterflies
Above our nation ...
We are stardust, we re golden
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden

YESTERDAY
Oh yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly, I'm not half the girl I used to be.
There is a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Why he had to go, I don't know,
He wouldn't say.
Oh I said some things wrong,
Now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Why he had to go, I don't know,
He wouldn't say.
I said some things wrong,
Now I long for yesterday.

Love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.

YOU ARE
EVA CASSIDY
YOU TAKE MY BREATH AWAY
Sometimes it amazes me
How strong the power of love can be
Sometimes you just take my breath away
You watch my love grow like a child
Sometimes gentle and sometimes wild
Sometimes you just take my breath away
And it's too good to slip by
Too good to lose
Too good to be there
Just to use
I'm gonna stand on a mountain top
And tell the news
That you take my breath away
Sometimes it amazes me
How strong the power of love can be
Sometimes you just take my breath away
Your beauty is there in all I see
And when I feel your eyes on me
Oh don't you know you just take my breath away
And it's too good to slip by
Too good to lose
Too good to be there
Just to use
I'm gonna stand on a mountain top
And tell the news
That you take my breath away
And it's too good to slip by
Too good to lose
Too good to be there
Just to use
I'm gonna stand on a mountain top
And tell the news
That you take my breath away

YOU'VE CHANGED
Baby we both know
The things have really changed between us
You've changed
That sparkle in your eyes is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
It's all over now, you've changed
You've changed
Your kisses now are so blase
You're bored with me in every way
You're breaking my heart you've changed
You've forgotten the words I love you
Each memory that we've shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realise that you ever cared
You've changed
You're not the angels I once knew
No need to tell me that we're through
It's all over now, you've changed
You've forgotten the words I love you
Each memory that we've shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realise you ever cared
You've changed
That sparkle in your eyes is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
It's all over now, you've changed
Yes it's over now, you've changed
(Now it's over, you've changed)
It's over baby
