It´s a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation´s strong

Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes calling
And negativity lands

Cold cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passing through

And it´s no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It´s two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it´s no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It´s no sacrifice at all

Mutual misunderstanding
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act

We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns
sacrifice

Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude

Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe

Don´t wish it away
Don´t look at it like it´s forever
Between you and me
I could honestly say
That things can only get better

And while I´m away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won´t be long
Before you and me run
To the place in our hearts
Where we hide

And I guess that´s why
They call it the blues
Time on my hands
Could be time spent with you
Laughing like children
Living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that´s why
They call it the blues

Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second
Without hesitation
And never forget I´m your man

Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself

And I guess that´s why
They call it the blues
Time on my hands
Could be time spent with you
Laughing like children
Living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that´s why
They call it the blues

[interlude]

Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself

And I guess that´s why
They call it the blues
Time on my hands
Could be time spent with you
Laughing like children
Living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that´s why
They call it the blues

{Laughing like children
Living like lovers}
And I guess that´s why
They call it the blues

{Laughing like children
Living like lovers}
And I guess that´s why
They call it the blues

And I guess that´s why
They call it the blues
i guess that's why they call it the blues

I can´t light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I´m growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

Don´t let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it´s always someone else I see
I´d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I can´t find, oh the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don´t discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal
don't let the sun go down on me

What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you´re not there

What do I do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it´s all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word

It´s sad, so sad
It´s a sad, sad situation
And it´s getting more and more absurd
It´s sad, so sad
Why can´t we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word

What do I do to make you love me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do
What have I got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word
sorry seems to be the hardest word

Blue eyes babys got blue eyes
Like a deep blue sea
On a blue blue day
Blue eyes, babys got blue eyes
When the morning comes
Ill be far away
And I say

Blue eyes holding back the tears
Holding back the pain
Babys got blue eyes
And shes alone again

Blue eyes babys got blue eyes
Like a clear blue sky
Watching over me
Blue eyes ooh I love blue eyes
When Im by her side
Where I long to be
I will see

Blue eyes laughing in the sun
Laughing in the rain
Babys got blue eyes
And I am home
And I am home again

Blue eyes laughing in the sun
Laughing in the rain
Babys got blue eyes
And I am home again
blue eyes

Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes

They say Spain is pretty though I´ve never been
Well Daniel says it´s the best place that he´s ever seen
Oh and he should know, he´s been there enough
Lord I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much

Daniel my brother you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won´t heal
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you´re a star in the face of the sky

Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
Oh God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes

Hey Nikita is it cold
In your little corner of the world
You could roll around the world
And never find a warmer soul to know

Oh I saw you by the wall
Ten of your tin soldiers in a row
With eyes that looked like ice on fire
The human heart a captive in the snow

Oh Nikita You will never know anything about my home
I´ll never know how good it feels to hold you
Nikita I need you so
Oh Nikita is the other side of any given line in time
Counting ten tin soldiers in a row
Oh no, Nikita you´ll never know

Do you ever dream of me
Do you ever see the letters that I write
When you look up through the wire
Nikita do you count the stars at night

And if there comes a time
Guns and gates no longer hold you in
And if you´re free to make a choice
Just look towards the west and find a friend

It´s a little bit funny this feeling inside
I´m not one of those who can easily hide
I don´t have much money but boy if I did
I´d buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it´s not much but it´s the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one´s for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it´s done
I hope you don´t mind
I hope you don´t mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you´re in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they´ve got me quite cross
But the sun´s been quite kind while I wrote this song
It´s for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I´ve forgotten if they´re green or they´re blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I´ve ever seen
your song

When I think of those East End lights
Muggy nights,
The curtains drawn in the little room downsairs.
Prima Donna lord you really should have been there,
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair.
And it´s one more beer,
And I don´t hear you anymore.
We´ve all gone crazy lately,
My friend´s out there rolling,
Round the basement floor.

(Chorus)
And someone saved my life tonight,
sugar bear.
You almost had your hooks in me
Didn´t you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied,
Alter-bound, hypnotized,
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You´re a butterfly,
And butterflies are free to fly,
Fly away, high away bye bye.

I never realized the passing hours
Of evening showers,
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams.
I´m strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen.
It´s four-o-clock in the morning
D*mn it!
Listen to me good.
I´m sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time, thank God my music is still alive.

Chorus

And I would have walked head on
Into the deep end of the river,
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
Paying your H.P. demands forever.
They´re coming in the morning
With a truck to take me home

Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
So save your strength
And run the field you play alone.

Chorus

Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
someone saved my life tonight

Cole Porter

Suntanned, windblown
Honeymooners at last alone
Feeling far above par
Oh, how lucky we are

While I give to you and you give to me
True love, true love
So on and on it will always be
True love, true love

For you and I have a guardian angel
On high, with nothing to do
But to give to you as you give to me
Love forever, true
Love forever, true

Give me more true love
Oh yeah
True love, true love

Gotta give me your true love
Oh yeah
True love, true love
true love

There´s a calm surrender
To the rush of day
When the heat of the rolling world
Can be turned away

An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
It´s enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you

And can you feel the love tonight
It is where we are
It´s enough for wide eyed wanderer
That we got this far

And can you feel the love tonight
How it´s laid to rest
It´s enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

There´s a time for ev´ryone
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn

There´s a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this starcrossed boyager
Beats in time with yours

And can you feel the love tonight
It is where we are
It´s enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far

And can you feel the love tonight
How it´s laid to rest
It´s enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
It´s enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
can you feel the love tonight

>From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There´s more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done

Some say eat or be eaten
Some say Live and let live
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give

CHORUS:
In the circle of life
It´s the wheel of fortune
It´s the leap of faith
It´s the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, in the circle of life

Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars

There´s far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

CHORUS REPEATS
circle of life

Hey you, you´re a child in my head
You haven´t walked yet
Your first words have yet to be said
But I swear you´ll be blessed

I know you´re still just a dream
Your eyes migth be green
Or the bluest that I´ve ever seen
Anyway you´ll be blessed

And you, you´ll be blessed
You´ll have the best
I promise you that
I´ll pick a star form the sky
Pull your name from a hat
I promise you that
I promise you that
Promise you that
You´ll be blessed

I need you before I´m too old
To have and to hold
To walk with you and watch yoy grow
And know that you´re blessed

And you, you´ll be blessed
You´ll have the best
I promise you that
I´ll pick a star form the sky
Pull your name from a hat
I promise you that
Promise you that you,

You´ll be blessed
You´ll have the best
I promise you that
I´ll pick a star form the sky
Pull your name from a hat
I promise you that
I promise you that
Promise you that
You´ll be blessed

I promise you that
You´ll be blessed
Promise you that
You´ll be blessed
Promise you that
You´ll be blessed

We´ve been crippled in love
Short changed hung out to dry
We´ve chalked on the walls
A slogan or two about life
Stood dazed in the doorway
The king and queen of clowns
We´ve been flipped like a coin
Both of us landing face down

So please,please
Let me grow old with you
After everything we´ve been through
What´s left to prove
So please,please,please,please
Let me grow old with you

We´ve been living with sorrow
Been up, down and all around
We´ve buried our feelings
A little too deep in the ground
Stood dazed in the doorway
The king and queen of clowns
We´ve been flipped like a coin
Both of us landing face down

So please,please
Let me grow old with you
After everything we´ve been through
What´s left to prove
So please,please,please,please
Let me grow old with you

But tied to the same track
The two of us look back
At oncoming trains ahead
How many more times
Can we lay on the line
Watching our love hang by a thread

So please,please
Let me grow old with you
After everything we´ve been through
What´s left to prove
So please,please,please,please
Let me grow old with you
please

An instrumental piece! At the very end, the words

"Life isn´t everything"

are repeated a few times, but that´s it
song for guy
