As around the sun the earth knows she’s revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early may
Just as hate knows love’s the cure
You can rest your mind assure
That I’ll be loving you always

As now can’t reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older every day
Just as all that’s born is new
You know what I say is true
That I’ll be loving you always

(Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky)
Always
(Until the ocean covers every mountain high)
Always
(Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea)
Always
(Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream)

Did you know that true love asks for nothing
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day

Just as time knew to move on since the beginning
And the seasons know exactly when to change
Just as kindness knows no shame
Know through all your joy and pain
That I’ll be loving you always

As today I know I’m living, but tomorrow
Could make me the past, but that I mustn’t fear
For I’ll know deep in my mind
The love of me I’ve left behind
‘Cause I’ll be loving you always

(Until the day is night and night becomes the day)
Always
(Until the trees and seas just up and fly away)
Always
(Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four)
Always
(Until the day that is the day that are no more)
Did you know you’re loved by somebody
(Until the day the earth starts turnin’ right to left)
Always
(Until the earth just for the sun denies itself)
I’ll be lovin you forever
(Until dear mother nature says her work is through)
Always
(Until the day that you are me and I am you)
Always
(Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high)
Always

We all know sometimes life’s hates and troubles
Can make you wish you were born in another time and space
But you can bet your life times that and twice it’s double
That God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed
So make sure when you say you’re in it, but not of it
You’re not helpin’ to make this earth
A place sometimes called hell
Change your words into truths
And then change that truth into love
And maybe our children’s grandchildren
And their great grandchildren will tell
I’ll be loving you until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky 6 years ago

I never thought I’d miss you
Half as much as I do
And I never thought I’d feel this way
The way I feel about you
As soon as I wake up
Every night, every day
I know that it’s you I need
To take the blues away

It must be love, love, love
It must be love, love, love
Nothing more, nothing less
Love is the best

How can it be that we can
Say so much without words?
Bless you and bless me
Bless the bees and the birds
I’ve got to be near you
Every night, every day
I couldn’t be happy any other way

It must be love, love, love
It must be love, love, love
Nothing more, nothing less
Love is the best

As soon as I wake up
Every night, every day
I know that it’s you I need
To take the blues away

It must be love, love, love
It must be love, love, love 6 years ago

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper “I love you”
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me…

Say “nighty-night” and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you’ll miss me
While I’m alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me…

Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I’m longing to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sun beams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams, whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me… 6 years ago

Been up all night, staring at you
Wondering what’s on your mind
And I’ve been this way with so many before
But this feels like the first time

You want the sunrise
To go back to bed
I want to make you laugh

Mess up my bed with me
Kick off the covers… I’m waiting
Every word you say I think I should write down
Don’t want to forget come daylight

Happy to lay here, just happy to be here
I’m happy to know you
Play me a song
You’ll know this one
Please leave your taste on my tongue

Paperweight on my back
Cover me like a blanket

Mess up my bed with me
Kick off the covers… I’m waiting
Every word you say I think I should write down
Don’t want to forget come daylight

And no need to worry that’s wasting time
And no need to wonder what’s been on my mind
It’s you
It’s you
It’s you

Every word you say I think I should write down
Don’t want to forget come daylight

I give up… I let you win
You win, cause I’m not counting
You made it back to sleep again
Wonder what you’re dreaming… 6 years ago

I don’t get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here

And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know

That I am
I am, I am
The luckiest

What if I’d been born fifty years before you
In a house on the street where you live?
Maybe I’d be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?

And in a wide sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know

That I am
I am, I am
The luckiest

I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you

Next door there’s an old man who lived to his nineties
And one day passed away in his sleep
His wife, she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away

I’m sorry, I know that’s a
Strange way to tell you that I know
We belong
That I know
That I am
I am, I am
The luckiest

That I know
That I am
I am, I am
The luckiest 6 years ago

There must be reasons why your voice still turns my head
The child inside me hangs on every word you’ve said
And seems we’re right where you and I lay… made what we’ve found
So long since I have walked the road when all in doubt
Seems like the right idea that we’ve found

It’s such a nice place
I’m so inspired by this relation
I was up for conversation
Trials and tribulations
Lift me up to meet you here
Inspired by this relation
I was up for conversation
Trials and tribulations
Lift me up, send me to here

To meet you here, along the road

No shadow of a doubt, the heat is by the sun
No thing is settled straight then looks to come undone
If when I see you there is comfort in your eyes
If I’m the reason, how I feel words can’t describe
With how I’m feeling words can’t describe

It’s how I’m feeling
I’m so inspired by this relation
I was up for conversation
Trials and tribulations
Lift me up to meet you here
Inspired by this relation
I was up for conversation
Trials and tribulations
Lift me up to meet you here

And when I lift you up
And if you don’t look down again
You’re never falling
Cause it’s a smile like yours
So when I meet your eyes
Just know it’s you
I am the doorway to a smile like yours

A smile like yours is where the dawn breaks
A smile like yours 6 years ago

There’s no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a shoebox of photographs
With sepia-tone loving
Love is the answer
At least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it’s so hard?
It’s not always easy and
Sometimes life can be deceiving
I’ll tell you one thing it’s always better when we’re together

It’s always better when we’re together
Yeah, we’ll look at the stars when we’re together
Well, it’s always better when we’re together
Yeah, it’s always better when we’re together

And all of these moments
Just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they’ll be gone
When the morning light sings
And brings new things
But tomorrow night you see
That they’ll be gone too
Too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way
Into my day to day scene
I’ll be under the impression
I was somewhere in between
With only two
Just me and you
Not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be
We’ll sit beneath the mango tree

Yeah, it’s always better when we’re together
We’re somewhere in between together
Well, it’s always better when we’re together
Yeah, it’s always better when we’re together

I believe in memories
They look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up
You look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time
And there is no song I could sing
And there is no combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We’re better together 6 years ago

Every time I look into your lovely eyes
I see a love that money just can’t buy
One look from you, I drift away
I pray that you are here to stay

Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need, you got it
Anything at all, you got it
Baby

Every time I hold you I begin to understand
Everything about you tells me I’m your man
I live my life to be with you
No one can do the things you do
Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need, you got it
Anything at all, you got it
Baby

Anything you want
Anything you need
Anything at all

I’m glad to give my love to you
I know you feel the way I do
Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need, you got it
Anything at all, you got it
Baby

Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need, you got it
Anything at all, you got it
Baby 7 years ago

Somehow, I’m leading someone else’s life
I cut a star down with my knife
And right now I still see the way the moon
Plays this tune
Though our night’s died

My hands shake
My knees quake
It’s every day
The same way

Cause then came you
Then there’s you
I keep your picture in my worn through shoes
Then there’s you
Then came you
When I’m lost, I look at my picture of you

Somehow, I’ll make tonight our own
Show you every way I’ve grown since I’ve met you
And right now I’ll be the boy in your next song
I’ll learn the parts and play along
If you’ll let me

My hands shake
My knees quake
It’s every day
The same way

Cause then came you
Then there’s you
I keep your picture in my worn through shoes
Then there’s you
Then came you
When I’m lost, I look at my picture of you

If you let me, I’ll show the world to you
If you let me, I’ll know just what to do
Cause then came you
Then there’s you
I keep your picture in my worn through shoes
When I’m lost in your eyes
I see the way for me 7 years ago

...a mere recital doesn’t quite count, however much it was enjoyed :-) Guess I need to work more on this. 7 years ago

I would swim across the ocean
I would lay down on a bed of nails
But I’ll spare you all the bullshit
I will spare you all the desperate details
Saturday I’m on a plane
I’m flying home to you

And when our time is lonely
And when our time is hard to be away
I’m playing my guitar in some basement club a thousand miles away

Saturday I’m on the stage
I’m feeling dull and blue
Saturday I’m on that plane
I’m flying home to you

I will treasure every moment
I will lay down on the couch and watch TV
And when you’re done with working
I will take you to see a matinee

Saturday I’m on the stage
I’m feeling dull and blue
Saturday I’m on that plane
I’m flying home to you
To you 7 years ago

I’ve got you under my skin
I’ve got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, that you’re really a part of me
I’ve got you under my skin

I have tried so not to give in
I have said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist, when I know so well
That I’ve got you under my skin

I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, it repeats in my ear

Don’t you know you fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
Cause I’ve got you under my skin 7 years ago

So close no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don’t just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know 7 years ago

Ice will melt, water will boil
You and I can shake off this mortal coil
It’s bigger than us
You don’t have to worry about it

Ready or not, here comes the drop
You feel lucky when you know where you are
You know it’s gonna come true
Here in your arms I remember

It’s only natural that I should want to be there with you
It’s only natural that you should feel the same way too

It’s easy when you don’t try going on first impressions
Man in a cage has made his confession now
You’ve seen me at my worst
But it won’t be the last time I’m down there

I want you to know I feel completely at ease
Read me like a book that’s fallen down
Between your knees, please
Let me have my way with you

It’s only natural that I should want to be there with you
It’s only natural that you should feel the same way too
It’s circumstantial, it’s something written in the sky
And we don’t even have to try

But we’ll be shaking like mud, buildings of glass
Sink in to the bay, they’ll be under the rocks again
You don’t have to say
I know you’re afraid

It’s only natural that I should want to be there with you
It’s only natural that you should feel the same way too
It’s circumstantial, it’s something I was born to
It’s only natural, can I help it if I want to 7 years ago

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watching the puddles gather rain
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
And speak my point of view
But it’s not sane
It’s not sane
I just want someone to say to me
I’ll always be there when you wake
You know I’d like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I’ll have it made 7 years ago
