The sweat on the palm of my hands Made it harder to play as the night wore me down But we played ‘till the last note was dawn And then crawled off to sleep in the morning Such a gentle refrain in the night Catching the ear of those still left behind But we played 'till the last note was dawn And then crawled off to sleep in the morning Crawling out in the light of the morning, close my eyes Far away from the beat of the warning city’s cry The light sliding out of the eye The stars in the darkness blazed down from the sky And we played ‘till the last note was dawn And then crawled off to sleep in the morning And then crawled off to sleep in the morning Crawling out in the light of the morning, close my eyes Far away from the beat of the warning city’s cry The sweat on the palm of my hands Made it harder to play as the night wore me down But we played ‘till the last note was dawn And then crawled off to sleep in the morning

Well I’m a long long way from home and I miss you But I know that I gotta get on but can I risk another thought of you Cos every time I do It makes me miss you when I’m gone Well it’s a long long time ago since I kissed you And I know that I gotta be strong and resist another thought of you Cos every time I do It makes me miss you when I’m gone When I’m gone Well I just think of you When I’m gone All the time it’s true When I’m gone What am I to do When I’m gone I wanna be back with you Well I’m a long long way from home and I miss you But I know that I gotta get on but can I risk another thought of you Cos every time I do It makes me miss you when I’m gone When I’m gone Well I just think of you When I’m gone All the time it’s true When I’m gone What am I to do When I’m gone I wanna be back with you Well it’s a long long time ago since I kissed you And I know that I gotta be strong and resist another thought of you Cos every time I do It makes me miss you when I’m gone

Give me all you’ve got to give You know that I’ll take all there is I’ve never known myself a better time So give me all your love and I’ll give you all of mine Give me everything you’ve got You know that I will take the lot With you I don’t know where to draw the line So give me all your love and I’ll give you all of mine The simple things are easy If you don’t make them hard Some people complicate me And leave me old and tired I don’t need to have too much I’m through with wanting all that stuff You are all I ever hoped to find So give me all your love and I’ll give you all of mine The simple things are easy If you don’t make them hard Some people complicate me And leave me old and tired But with you I feel alive You make me want to keep on trying With you I’ll never stop or fall behind So give me all your love and I’ll give you all of mine

Let’s have another drink, one for the road We’ve still got so many miles to go So pack up the van and let’s head out you know It’s just you and me on the road We don’t need anything it’s all here on board Packed from the tailgate, ceiling to floor We don’t need to rush we go steady and sure It’s just you and me on the road Heading home, heading home It’s just you and me on the road heading home Pack up the awning and light up the stove It’s four in the morning too early to go So brew up the coffee and burn all the toast It’s just you and me on the road And let’s have another hour laying in bed Wasting the time away swinging the lead We should get on but let’s stay here instead It’s just you and me on the road Heading home, heading home It’s just you and me on the road heading home Shut all the curtains and close out the night We won’t be leaving until it gets light Close your eyes darling and lay down your head Under these sheets in this rock ’n’ roll bed So pull on your overcoat against the cold The windows are drafty the gaskets are old The heater don’t work it just sits there and blows It’s just you and me on the road And here’s to the camper that never breaks down And here’s to the journey it takes us upon And wave to the others as we go along It’s just you and me on the road Heading home, heading home It’s just you and me on the road heading home

I can’t believe the way we met Sunday nights at the Six Bells We watched the bands run through their sets Those were the nights that I fell And it’s a feeling I still get It always takes me back there And I’m still making sense of it But can you tell me How do you know, how to make me feel this way Every night and every day Well can you let me know the way, oh yeah And how do you know, how to make me feel so right Every day and every night Well can you let me know what’s right, oh yeah And show me the way I can’t believe the way we met But I remember it so well In the car park getting wet When we kissed as the rain fell And it’s a time I won’t forget Well it will always be there You’re so amazing to be with But can you tell me How do you know, how to make me feel this way Every night and every day Well can you let me know the way, oh yeah And how do you know, how to make me feel so right Every day and every night Well can you let me know what’s right, oh yeah And show me the way Well you were dancing to the band On the night when this began I can’t believe the way we met Sunday nights at the Six Bells Well I remember it so well How do you know, how to make me feel this way Every night and every day Well can you let me know the way, oh yeah And how do you know, how to make me feel so right Every day and every night Well can you let me know what’s right, oh yeah And show me the way

This is a love we share and it will always be And nothing can compare to what we’ve got We never need to stop, this is a love we share And at that certain time, we’d meet and fall in love And though a time may come and it may go Between us we both know, this is a love we share This is a love we share, for all eternity We know it’s always there Something’s are meant to be This is a love we share and it will always be And nothing can compare to what we’ve got We never need to stop, this is a love we share This is a love we share, for all eternity We know it’s always there Something’s are meant to be There was a time and place, where fate or destiny Said we were meant to always be as one Together we’ll go on, this is a love we share Where we were meant to always be as one Together we’ll go on, this is a love we share

It’s Christmas time, it’s Christmas time All around the snow is falling It’s almost Christmas morning Can you believe it’s almost here You dreamed about it all the year With each passing hour it’s clear That Christmas day is dawning Go to bed on Christmas Eve Close your eyes and just believe In Father Christmas on his sleigh But all the night you lay awake And wish the hours away Until it’s Christmas morning It’s Christmas time Hear the children singing It’s Christmas time Feel the joy it’s bringing It’s Christmas time All the bells are ringing out So open up your eyes It’s Christmas time It’s Christmas time, it’s Christmas time All around there’s people calling Lights are on it’s Christmas morning Can you believe it’s all so near A silent night will disappear In the festive warmth and cheer As Christmas day is dawning Get up your heart is racing This day is so amazing You feel the magic in the air Everybody everywhere All around the world should share This joy on Christmas morning It’s Christmas time Hear the children singing It’s Christmas time Feel the joy it’s bringing It’s Christmas time All the bells are ringing out So open up your eyes It’s Christmas time It’s Christmas time, it’s Christmas time
