And I Go
My girl white in a yellow light
Looks so good
And it
takes me
Love so bright she can love all night
Shows me all she knows
Painter paint the scene
Hold us in a dream
Feel what it means
When she
takes me
Oh, she plays her part
Holds me in her heart
Knows from the start
She can take me
And she takes me
And I go
When I'm bound in the London ground
Play this song
It'll take
you
Say her love was a velvet glove
Held my life through
See us in the
morning sun
How the colors run
Big Girls Walk Away
You hold your broken heart out
And you say it just won't
stop hurting
Like there's something I can do
The rule is so plain
Party
girl play like it's laying
Pack it up-hear what I'm saying
The party's
over-better walk away
Turn the page-look, and listen
Somewhere music plays
Planes leave every day
Big girls walk away
You want to play with princes
On a million dollar holiday
Butt you never met their
mothers
You just go so high
Party girl just keep the earrings
Nothing
else is worth a damned thing
Just save the party for another day
You know
this old world is wide
And you're to catch another ride
You just go till
you come out the other side
Come Out And Dance
Come out and dance with me, darling, on that funky side of
town
Come out and rock with me, baby, shake it up and dance it down
When
you hear that good band play, it'll make you want to fool around
You can't
sit down
I've got some moves for you, baby, that I learned from way back when
I've got a feel for you, baby, you'll believe in love again
When I knock on
you door, you'll let me in
In love again
We go round and round, don't know
where we're bound
Long as there's a beat I'll hang around, for one more round
Now baby, don't read the papers, 'cause they always make you sad
And honey,
don't watch the TV 'cause the news is always bad
Come and dance with me tonight and you know your heart will be
so glad
So very glad
Baby, don't you know the reason grandma smiles at
grandpa so?
Grandpa can still keep it moving like he did so long ago
Grandma says, "Hold me tight and don't let go"
Like years ago
Baby this is
true romance, take it while you see a chance
If we got everyone dancing,
wouldn't be no time for war
If they got into the feeling, they'd find out
what life is for
Every day you'd hear them say, "This has got to be what life
is for"
And dance some more
Freedom Overspill
Keep on talking all you want
Well you don't waste a minute
of time
Who cares, who knows what's true
Coffee and tears the whole night
through
Burning up on midnight oil
And it's come right back on you
Freedom overspill, freedom overspill
Force of habit, you could say
The way they talk you're
talking away
Who cares, who knows what's true
Your wounded pride is
burning you up
Burning up on midnight oil
And it's come right back on you
Freedom overspill, freedom overspill
You're sounding good to me now keep talking on
I want to
hear the worst you got no right going around
Talking 'bout the things that
you do, that you do
Keep on talking all you want
Well you don't waste a minute
of time
Who cares, who knows what's true
Coffee and tears the whole night
through
Burning up on midnight oil
And it's come right back on you
Freedom overspill
There's an freedom overspill come on
Freedom overspill, freedom overspill
You're sounding good to me now keep talking on
I want to
hear the worst you got no right going around
Talking 'bout the things that
you do
Talking 'bout the things you do
Force of habit, you could say
The way they talk you're
talking away
Who cares, who knows what's true
Your wounded pride is
burning you up
Burning up on midnight oil
And it's come right back on you
Freedom overspill, oh freedom overspill
Freedom overspill,
oh freedom overspill
Freedom overspill, freedom overspill
Freedom, freedom,
freedom, freedom, freedom
Freedom, freedom, freedom over, overspill
Freedom, freedom, freedom, overspill
Freedom, freedom, freedom
Holding On
Used to live in the danger zone, any day it could get too
rough
Now I'm glad I kept holding on, now I'm glad I had soul enough
You
turned night into day and showed me how my soul could sing
You took my hurt
away and showed me love conquers anything
When two hearts both feel the same,
there's a way to beat the game
Holding on, now I'm standing in the light
Holding on, and this time I've got it right
Holding on, every day and every
night
Holding on.
Fall asleep in your lover's arms and it's just like it
ought to be
Just be thankful she keeps you warm in a world where there's
nothing free
Give her love every day and pay attention when she dreams
And she'll be good to you 'cause sometimes love is just what it seems
When
two hearts both feel the same, there's a way to beat the game
See the
mountain water running down into streams
How it holds on forever, we'll be
holding on forever
People soul-searching all night long for a reason to help
them live
And I do hope they hear this song, get through take and you get to
give
It can be in a smile, it can be there in a touch
It warms the world
awhile, when it's love it can't be too much
In The Light Of Day
Had a dream last night, the angels had come riding
In the
light of day where there was no more hiding
All so fine, I still see them
shine
I saw angels play right in the light of day
And I watched them fly
across a fiery sky
And I heard their cry as they passed me by
I could feel
the light inside me, I could feel it everywhere
Life was clear and fair
Woke up in the dark and tried to keep believing
In the light I saw, in time
of constant grieving
Vision fair, please don't disappear
And please hear
my prayer there in the light of day
When I look within I see them shine again
As the darkness
ends and the light begins
I can feel the light inside me, I can feel it
everywhere
They are all still there
On the street tonight the innocent are
dying
And the world's not right, so many millions crying
Evil lives and
hate never gives, hell is never far
And is this all we are?
Oh, Lord, hear
us cry, up in the fiery sky
That our souls may fly to you when we die
Help
us feel the light inside us, help us feel it everywhere
Oh, Lord, be there
Roll With It Baby
When life is too much, roll with it, baby
Don't stop and
lose your touch, oh no, baby
Hard times knocking on your door
I'll tell
them you ain't there no more
Get on through it, roll with it, baby
Luck'll
come and then slip away,Yu've gotta move, bring it back to stay
You just roll with it, baby
Come on and just roll with it,
baby
You and me, roll with it, baby
Hang on and just roll with it, baby
The way that you love is good as money
I swear by stars
above, sweet as honey
People think you're down and out
You show them what
it's all about
You can make it, roll with it, baby
When this world turns
its back on you
Hang in and do that sweet thing you do
You just roll with it, baby
You just roll with it, baby
Come on and just roll with it, baby
You and me, just roll with it, baby
Now there'll be a day you'll get there, baby
You'll hear
the music play, you'll dance, baby
You'll leave bad times way behind
Nothing but good times on your mind
You can do it, roll with it, baby
Then
you'll see life will be so nice
It's just a step up to paradise
You just
roll with it, baby
You just roll with it, baby
You and me, just roll with
it, baby
Come on and just roll with it, baby
Still In The Game
Here's to gamblers who hold to the game
Through the hard
times they don't lose their aim.
And they hope for time on their side
and
they keep a ticket to ride.
Two believers their soul in their hand
They keep watching for signs in the land.
And they stand
there watchin' the sky
and they stand there ready to fly.
Here's to never
letting go though sometimes it does get lonely.
I still walk out in the
mornin' light just to see what is there.
I hear music in silent night
searching - I find the reason to care
One heart moving still the same - still in the game.
Here's
to lovers who reach for it all
never matching the rise with the fall.
And
they just can't leave it alone
and they want it all till it's gone.
Here's
to players who can't leave their song
And it haunts themtheir night is so long
Cause there's music there in their mind
From a world
they're trying to find.
Here's to never letting go . . .
Still in the game
still in the game
in the game
Valerie
So wild, standing there, with her hands in her hair
I can't
help remember just where she touched me
There's still no face here in her
place
So cool, she was like jazz on a summer's day
Music, high and sweet,
then she just blew away
Now she can't be that warm with the wind in her arms
Valerie, call on me-call on me, Valerie
Come and see me-I'm the same boy I
used to be
Love songs fill the night, but they don't tell it all
Not how lovers cry out just like they're dying
Her cries
hang there in time somewhere
Someday, some good wind may blow her back to me
Some night I may here her like she used to be
No it can't be that warm with
the wind in her arms
So cool, she was like jazz on a summer's day
Music,
high and sweet, then she just blew away
Don't tell me you're warm with the
wind in your arms
