I gotta tell you what I’m feelin’ inside, I could lie to myself, but it’s true
There’s no denying when I look in your eyes, girl I’m out of my head over you
I lived so long believin’ all love is blind
But everything about you is tellin’ me this time
Chorus:
It’s forever, this time I know and there’s no doubt in my mind
Forever, until my life is through, girl I’ll be lovin’ you forever
I hear the echo of a promise I made
When you’re strong you can stand on your own
But those words grow distant as I look at your face
No, I don’t wanna go it alone
I never thought I’d lay my heart on the line
But everything about you is tellin’ me this time
Chorus - Ya-ah!
I see my future when I look in your eyes
It took your love to make my heart come alive
‘Cause I lived my life believin’ all love is blind
But everything about you is tellin’ me this time
Oh - thinkin’ about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothin’ can take you away from me
We bin down that road before
But that’s over now
You keep me comin’ back for more
Baby you’re all that I want
When you’re lyin’ here in my arms
I’m findin’ it hard to believe
We’re in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn’t too hard to see
We’re in heaven
Oh - once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you’re feelin’ down
Ya - nothin’ could change what you mean to me
Oh there’s lots that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way
N’ baby you’re all that I want
When you’re lyin’ here in my arms
I’m findin’ it hard to believe
We’re in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn’t too hard to see
We’re in heaven
I’ve bin waitin’ for so long
For something to arrive
For love to come along
Now our dreams are comin’ true
Through the good times and the bad
Ya - I’ll be standin’ there by you
I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played ’til my fingers bled
It was summer of ‘69
Me and some guys from school
Had a Band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shualda known we’d never get far
Oh when I lock back now
That was seemes to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I’d always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
(CHORUS)
Ain’t no use in complainin’
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin’s down at the drive in
And that’s when I met you
Standin on a mama’s porch
You told me that you’d wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was no or never
Those were the best days of my life
(Chorus) Back in Summer of ‘69
Man we were killin’ time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin’ can last forever, no
And now the times are changin’
Look at everything that’s come and gone
Somethimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong
Standin’ on a mama’s porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Day after day I’m waking up
To find that you’re slipping away
Night after night I can’t fight the emptiness inside There’s nothing I can say
Now I know you’re turning me away
It’s only a disguise
But you don’t have to hide cause
The truth is in your eyes tonight
I don’t want to live a lie
But I don’t want to say goodbye
And I can’t let you go even though it’s over
I just can’t let you go
I know your love is growing colder
One look in my eyes and you’d realize:
You got my heart in your hands
Won’t you let me know something more
Where did we go wrong?
I don’t want to fight
All I want to do is try and understand I’m reaching out for you
Babe what can I do
I’ve been holding on so long
I don’t want to live a lie
But I don’t want to say goodbye
I can’t let you go
Even though it’s over
I just can’t let you go
Though your love is growing colder
And I can’t let you go
Even though it’s over
I don’t want to live a lie
But I don’t want to say goodbye
I want you by my side
And I can’t let you go
Even though it’s over
I just can’t let you go
I feel your love is growing colder
I can’t let you go
even though it’s over
I just can’t let you go
(I) Feel your love growing colder
Don’t go
Though I know it’s over
I just can’t let you go…
As I was goin’ over the Cork and Kerry Mountains
I saw Captain Farrell and his money, he was countin’
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
I said, “Stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya”
I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money, yeah, and I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she loved me, no, never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman, yeah, for you know she tricked me easy
Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da
Whack for my daddy, oh
Whack for my daddy, oh
There’s whiskey in the jar, oh
Being drunk and weary I went to Molly’s chamber
Takin’ Molly with me but I never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven, yeah, in walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired my pistols and I shot him with both barrels
Yeah, musha rain dum a doo, dum a da, ha, yeah
Whack for my daddy, oh
Whack for my daddy, oh
There’s whiskey in the jar, oh
Now some men like a fishin’ but some men like the fowlin’
Some men like to hear, to hear the cannonball roarin’
But me, I like sleepin’, ’specially in my Molly’s chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain, yeah
Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da, heh, heh
Whack for my daddy, oh
Whack for my daddy, oh
There’s whiskey in the jar, oh, yeah
Whiskey in the jar, oh
Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da
Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da, hey
Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da
Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da, yeah
I used to be the kind of guy
Who’d never let you look inside
I’d smile when I was crying
I had nothing but a life to loose Thought I had a lot to prove In my life, there’s no denying
Goodbye to all my yesterdays
Goodbye, so long, I’m on my way
I’ve had enough of cryin’
Bleedin’, sweatin’, dyin’
Hear me when I say
Gonna live my life everyday
I’m gonna touch the sky
And I spread these wings and fly
I ain’t here to play
I’m gonna live my life everyday
Change, everybody’s feeling strange Never gonna be the same
Makes you wonder how the world keeps turning
Life, learning how to live my life
Learning how to pick my fights Take my shots while I’m still burning
Goodbye to all those rainy nights
Goodbye, so long, I’m moving on
I’ve had enough of cryin’
Bleedin’, sweatin’, dyin’
Hear me when I say
Gonna live my life everyday
I’m gonna touch the sky
And I spread these wings and fly
I ain’t here to play
I’m gonna live my life everyday
Hit the gas, take the wheel
I’ve just made myself a deal
There ain’t nothing gonna get in my way
Everyday
Goodbye, so long, I’m moving on
I’ve had enough of cryin’
Bleedin’, sweatin’, dyin’
Hear me when I say
Gonna live my life everyday
I’m gonna touch the sky
And I spread these wings and fly
I ain’t here to play
I’m gonna live my life everyday
I, oh I, oh I, I’m gonna live my life everyday
I (gonna touch the sky), oh I (spread these wings and fly), oh I
I’m gonna live my life everyday
I blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagles’ flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
when I wonder why
are the seas still dry?
don’t blame this sleeping satellite
Did we fly to the moon too soon
did we squander the chance
in the rush of the race
the reason we chase is lost in romance
and still we try
to justify the waste
for a taste of man’s greatest adventure
I blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagles’ flight
blame you for the moonlit nights
when I wonder why
are the seas still dry?
don’t blame this sleeping satellite
have we lost what it takes to advance?
have we peaked too soon?
if the world is so green
then why does it scream under a blue moon
we wonder why
If the earth’s sacrificed
for the price of it’s greatest treasure
I blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagles’ flight
blame you for the moonlit nights
when I wonder why
are the seas still dry?
don’t blame this sleeping satellite
and when we shoot for the stars
what a giant step
have we got what it takes
to carry the weight of this concept
or pass it by like a shot in the dark
miss the mark with a sense of adventure
I blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagles’ flight
blame you for the moonlit nights
when I wonder why
are the seas still dry?
don’t blame this sleeping satellite
