CONNECT the LYRICS II

There are places I remember,
all my life, though some have changed
some forever not for better,
some have gone, and some remain,
all these places have their moments,
with lovers and friends, I still can recall,
some are dead and some are living,
IN MY LIFE, I've loved them all

I remember Paris in '49.
The Champs Elysee, San Michelle,
and old Beaujolais wine.
And I recall that you were mine
in those Parisienne days.


Looking back at the photographs.
Those summer days spent outside corner cafes.
Oh, I could write you paragraphs,
about my old Parisienne days.

I REMEMBER it was shallow, have you gone
I don't need you here tomorrow, have you gone
My dream has flown away
I ignore my destiny

You are my destiny
You share my reverie
You are my happiness
That's what you are

You have my sweet caress
You share my loneliness
You are my dream come true
That's what you are

Heaven and heaven alone
Can take your love from me
'Cause I'd be a fool
To ever leave you dear
And a fool I'd never be

You are my destiny
You share my reverie
You're more than life to me
That's what you are

You are my destiny
You share my reverie
You are my happiness
That's what you are

As the cries start to penetrate still air, this day we celebrate.
The wait now ends.
From four corners smoke plums into reddened sky.
In the face of latern light, MY DESTINY flies.
This day so hallowed, from here to forever its will I will follow.
Tonight will come to life.
Deadened branches stirred by whispers in the wind.
Fall children fill the streets at dusk, at last, it all will begin.

I WILL FOLLOW him
Follow him wherever he may go
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high he can keep
Keep me away

I can still remember,
like it was yesterday,
the pain inside my heart
as you turned to walk away.

I don't know and I don't care
what the people say.
I don't know and I don't care,
I love you anyway.

For I have found my love in you.
And I have found a love so true.

I can still remember,
like it was just the other day.
I could have done without those stories
while you're so far away.

I don't know, I don't care
what my friends all say.
I don't know and I don't care,
I love you anyway.

For I have found my love in you.
And I have found a love so true.

Ooh, that first sweet night together.
I will remember it forever.
I put my heart on the line.
Though I knew I was wrong,
I would keep holding on.

Do you still remember
all those times ago?
When you lay like a flame in my arms,
and I could never let you go.

For I have found my love in you.
And I have found a love so true.
Yes, I have found my love in you.
And I have found a love so true.

I don't know and I don't care.
Ooh, that first sweet night together.
I don't know, I don't care.
I will remember it forever.

I CAN remember a place I used to go
Chrysanthemums of white, they seemed so beautiful
I can remember, I searched for the amaranth
I'd shut my eyes... to see

Oh, how I smiled then, so near the cherished ones
I knew they would appear... saw not a single one
Oh, how I smiled then, waiting so patiently
I'd make a wish... and bleed

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand

I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can

Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long

'Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where they will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it's later than it seems

Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it's too late for me

Doctor, my eyes
Cannot see the sky
Is this the PRICE for having learned how not to cry

From the crossroads of my doorstep,
MY EYES they start to fade,
As I turn my head back to the room
Where my love and I have laid.
An' I gaze back to the street,
The sidewalk and the sign,
And I'm one too many mornings
An' a thousand miles behind.

My love she speaks like silence
Without ideals or violence
She doesn't have to say she's faithful
Yet she's true like ice like fire
Some people carry roses
And make promises by the hour
My love she speaks softly
Valentines can't buy her

And when the cupboards bare
I'll still find something there with my love
It's understood , it's everywhere with my love
And my love does it good

Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo , MY LOVE does it good

To lead a better life I need my love to be here...

Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with the wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there

There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking but she doesn't know he's there

I want her everywhere and if she's beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share

Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there

I want her everywhere and if she's beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share

Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there

To be there and everywhere
Here, there and everywhere

I give her all my love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her too
I love her
She gives me ev'rything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I LOVE HER
A love like ours
Could never die...

I can only give you love that lasts forever
And the promise to be near each time you call
And the only heart I own, for you and you alone
That's all, that's all.

I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall
And a love whose burning light
Will warm the winter's night.
That's all, that's all.

There are those who would offer the moon, dear.
They would give you the world as a toy.
All I have are these arms to enfold you
And a love time can never destroy.

If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear,
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small.
Say it's me that you'll adore, now and evermore.
That's all, that's all.

They say that all good things must end some day
Autumn leaves must fall
But don't you know that it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you
Wish you didn't have to go
No no no no

And when the rain
Beats against my window pane
I'll think of summer days again
And dream of you
And dream of you

Some day I'm gonna ride in a Cadillac
Gonna roll on up to these big white gates
In a long one, shiny and black
Gonna buy me a one way ticket
I ain't comin back
Some day I'm gonna ride in a Cadillac

Well I never had no fancy cars
No I never had no money for that
Most the time is all I can do
Just to keep from sinking fast
Well in this life, there are no guarantees
But I'll tell you this little fact
When they come and take me from this world
I'm gonna go in a Cadillac

REPEAT CHORUS

Well they say you got to work real hard
Just to get the things that you want
Some things are so far out of reach
And it's tough enough on what you got
But I know I'll never be rich and fat
I know that's a fact
When they come to take me from the world
I'm gonna go in a Cadillac

REPEAT CHORUS

When I take that final ride
Down that last, lonely mile
Don't shed no tears for me
I'll be where I want to be
Lying in back of that Cadillac

REPEAT CHORUS

Knew the signs
Wasn't right
I was stupid for a while
Swept away by you
And now I feel like a fool
So confused,
My heart's bruised
Was I ever loved by you?

OUT OF REACH, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach,
Couldn't see
We were never
Meant to be

Catch myself
From despair
I could drown
If I stay here
Keeping busy everyday
I know I will be OK

But I was
So confused,
My heart's bruised
Was I ever loved by you?

Love that runs away from me
Dreams that just won't let me be
Blues that keep on botherin' me
Chains that just won't set me free
Too far away from you and all your charms
Just out of reach of my two empty arms

Each night in dreams I see your face
Memories time can't erase
I awake and find you gone
I'm so blue and all alone
So far away from lips so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two empty arms

Spoken:
That ol' lonesome feelin' all the time
I know you'll never be mine
Dreams that hurt me in my sleep
I mean vows that we just couldn't keep

Too far away from you and all your charms
Just out of reach of my two empty arms

SET ME FREE why doncha babe
Get out of my life why doncha babe
Cuz you don't really love me, you just keep me hangin' on
You don't really need me but ya keep me hangin' on
