They were sweethearts and valentines
They’d been in love for all of time
They never had much but they didn’t mind
Things had always been that way
“It’s enough for us” they’d say
She was a dancer he played guitar
They met each other in a local bar
They never thought it would go so far
But that’s the way that life can be
Things happen unexpectedly
Together, forever
Sweethearts and valentines
Together, forever
Until the end of time
Will was strong and played that part
Forty Five but young at heart
His hair was long but his brains were smart
Inside he still felt seventeen
He never gave up on his dream
Sally was bright and beautiful
She loved to laugh and play the fool
To him she seemed incredible
She filled his world with happiness
She loved him more than he could guess
Together, forever
Sweethearts and valentines
Together, forever
Until the end of time
Sally worked hard to pay the rent
Living it up until the money was spent
A life of love and sentiment
Happy and poor and free
Well something’s are meant to be
Will asked Sally to be his wife
Sally said yes I think that would be nice
They stayed like that for the rest of their life
Living so contentedly
Together eternally
Together, forever
Sweethearts and valentines
Together, forever
Until the end of time
Children came and grew so fast
Precious years that never last
Before you know the time has passed
It came to them as no surprise
These were the best years of their lives
When all the children flew the nest
They settled in to quietness
They figured they deserved the rest
Now they had the time to spend
Just the two of them till the end
Together, forever
Sweethearts and valentines
Together, forever
Until the end of time
They grew old as time went by
Sally was there the day Will died
She held his hand and froze inside
She lay with him that day
Together they passed away
Together, forever
Sweethearts and valentines
Together, forever
Until the end of time

Stay Forever
02:57

I thought that I’d known love
I thought what I had was real and true
But then I had never realised
There was always something missing till I found you
And I want to stay forever
In your arms, in your love
And I want to stay forever
In your heart, in your love
Oh well when I look into your eyes
And they show me just how you feel
And then I can’t help myself but smile
You got me spinning like a wheel
And I want to stay forever
In your arms, in your love
And I want to stay forever
In your heart, in your love
I don’t need to close my eyes
To remember what you said
I wrote this song from every line
Of that message that you sent
So now I thought that I’d known love
I thought what I had was real and true
But then I had never realised
There was always something missing till I found you
And I want to stay forever
In your arms, in your love
And I want to stay forever
In your heart, in your love
In your heart, in your arms, in your love

Something for You
02:58

If you’re struggling for something to say
If you’ve got nothing new
If inspirations not coming your way
I’ve got something for you
If you’re finding it hard to express
And the words won’t come through
If you feel that you have nothing left
I’ve got something for you
I’ve got something to give you to help you
I’ve got something to share
I’ve got something to tell you, I love you
I will always be there
If the world’s treating you like a stranger
And you don’t have a clue
If you feel that you can’t shake the danger
I’ve got something for you
When you’re reaching the end of the day
And your dancing is through
Take some heart from this song that I play
I’ve got something for you
I’ve got something to give you to help you
I’ve got something to share
I’ve got something to tell you, I love you
I will always be there
So if you’re struggling for something to say
And you’re feeling the strain
Just remember that I will be there
And will always remain

Out of the Blue
02:02

Out of the blue
Sometimes some things just hit you
Out of the blue
Sometimes it’s hard to know what’s true
And what makes us do the things we do
I wish I knew
Out of the blue
Sometimes some things just hit you
Out of the blue
You have to believe that you’ll pull through
Or walk into the night and out of the blue
Every step you take
From the beginning to the end
Is like a memory in time
And when the journey’s done
And everything is gone
You still leave it all behind
Out of the blue
Sometimes some things just hit you
Out of the blue
I wish there was something I could do
But not everything you want comes true
Something’s just come
Out of the blue

Nothing to Fear
02:10
|

Love may be a hard thing to hold on to
But if you hold on to me then I will try to prove
It’s how you’re feeling now
That shows you it’s alright
There’s nothing to fear for us tonight
At this moment now as we lie by this burning fire
It’s more than its warmth and light
I think we both desire
Flames that burn brightly
Can still cool into the night
But there’s nothing to fear for us tonight
No there’s nothing to fear for us tonight
There’s nothing to fear for us tonight
So love may be a hard thing to hold on to
But put your trust in me and I will show to you
Your shadow seems darker
When the moon is shining bright
So there’s nothing to fear for us tonight

Leaving
03:44
|

|
She turns her face into the wind
As she starts walking away
From where she used to live with them
It was impossible to stay
So she set her mind to leaving
She couldn’t wait another day
She’s not the child in her Mother’s eyes
She’s like a flower that is growing wild
If there’s something she wants she won’t be denied
She thinks she’s old enough to know
She says it’s time I’ve got to go
She leaves them crying in the rain
A case held tightly in her hand
She only grabbed what she could take
There wasn’t time to hang around
When she set her mind to leaving
She couldn’t wait another day
She’s not the child in her Mother’s eyes
She’s like a flower that is growing wild
If there’s something she wants she won’t be denied
She thinks she’s old enough to know
She says it’s time I’ve got to go
She calls up everyone she knows
To try to find a place to sleep
Get herself out of the cold
It’s no life living on the street
Since she set her mind to leaving
She wouldn’t wait another day
She’s not the child in her Mother’s eyes
She’s like a flower that is growing wild
If there’s something she wants she won’t be denied
She thinks she’s old enough to know
She says it’s time I’ve got to go
She’s not the child in her Mother’s eyes
She’s like a flower that is growing wild
If there’s something she wants she won’t be denied
She thinks she’s old enough to know
She says it’s time I’ve got to go

Keep Searching
02:38

You could have cast a shadow
But instead you shone a light
It could have caused me trouble
But instead you brought me life
The nights can seem much longer
When you’re waiting on your own
The days can pass you by so fast
When there’s so much to be done
But I’ll keep searching for a way to go
Searching for a way to know
Searching for a way to get on
You may have reached the ending
But I’m still here at the start
There’s no use in pretending
We’re far and distant worlds apart
The nights can seem much colder
When you’ve no flame left to burn
The days can pass you by so fast
When there’s so much left to learn
But I’ll keep searching for a way to go
Searching for a way to know
Searching for a way to get on
I’m righting wrongs on your behalf
I’m singing songs and trying to laugh
If I had the chance of doing any good
Well don’t you think I would
But I’ll keep searching for a way to go
Searching for a way to know
Searching for a way to get on
You could have cast a shadow
But instead you shone a light

Well here we are again
When you think you’re ready just let me know
Well here we are again
When you think you’re ready to go
Well lets go, let’s go
When you think you’re ready just let me know
So let’s go, let’s go, let’s go
Well there you are again
If life’s too ordinary just let me know
Well there you are again
If you think you’re ready to go
Well lets go, let’s go
When you think you’re ready just let me know
So let’s go, let’s go, let’s go
I know that we’ve been here before but life just pulls us on
It’s time for us to get right back to where we started from
Well lets go, let’s go
When you think you’re ready just let me know
So let’s go, let’s go, let’s go
Well here I am again
When I’m standing steady I’ll let you know
Well here I am again
When you think you’re ready to go
Well lets go, let’s go
When you think you’re ready just let me know
So let’s go, let’s go
If you think you’re ready then tell me so
Let’s go, let’s go
When you’re ready and set come on let’s go
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go

Rock and Roll Cowboy
04:22

Looking at you now
I don’t see the boy I used to see
Looking at you now
Nothing seems the way it used to be
You were my rock n roll cowboy in a western show
You used to ride around my dreams
You were my rock n roll cowboy from the rodeo
You were the best I’d ever seen
But now it seems you don’t have the time to notice me
Cos you are riding on, riding on
Yeah you are riding on, riding on
Well you are riding on, riding on
Yeah you are riding on, riding on
Looking at you now
I still feel the way I used to feel
Looking at you now
I just can’t believe that you were real
You were my rock n roll cowboy in a western show
You used to ride around my dreams
You were my rock n roll cowboy from the rodeo
You were the best I’d ever seen
But now it seems you don’t have the time to notice me
We had young dreams
And we had mad schemes of how we would make it in this world
But we ran too fast for this love to last
And now it seems you’re over me
So looking at you now
You still laugh the way you used to do
And looking at you now
I will always be in love with you
You were my rock n roll cowboy in a western show
You used to ride around my dreams
You were my rock n roll cowboy from the rodeo
You were the best I’d ever seen
But now it seems you don’t have the time to notice me
Cos you are riding on, riding on
Yeah you are riding on, riding on
Well you are riding on, riding on
Yeah you are riding on, riding on
Cos you are riding on, riding on
Yeah you are riding on, riding on
Well you are riding on, riding on
Yeah you are riding on, riding on
