LET US TRY

WHAT DO WE DO
TO THIS WORLD WE HAVE TO LIVE IN YOU AND I
ALTHOUGH WE KNOW
THAT WE ARE SISTERS AND BROTHERS
THERE'S WAR AND WAR AGAIN
CAN YOU TELL ME WHY

LET US TRY TO MAKE ANOTHER WORLD
WHERE WE'LL LIVE WITH ONLY LOVE IN OUR HEARTS
YES ONE DAY THERE'LL BE ANOTHER WORLD
NOT FAR AWAY LET'S HOPE AND PRAY

WHAT KIND OF WORLD
DO WE GIVE TO OUR CHILDREN YOU AND I
WHAT KIND OF LOVE
DO WE TEACH THEIR GENERATION
WE FAIL AND FAIL AGAIN
CAN YOU TELL ME WHY

LET US TRY...

CITYLIGHTS IN THE MORNING

WALKING ALONG WHISTLING A SONG
AMONG CITYLIGHTS IN THE MORNING
EVERYONE IS STILL ASLEEP
A DOG IS BARKING IN THE STREET
YOU HOLD YOUR HEAD AGAINST MINE
EVERYONE IS STILL ASLEEP
A DOG IS BARKING IN THE STREET
YOU HOLD YOUR HEAD AGAINST MINE

YOU'RE MY DESIRE 'T BURNS LIKE A FIRE
AMONG CITYLIGHTS IN THE MORNING
I HEAR YOU WHISPER IN MY EAR
HEAVEN'S NEVER BEEN SO NEAR
DON'T WANNA MISS YOU ANYMORE

YOU CAN SEE THE MORNING DAWN
DRIVE AWAY THE NIGHT
WON'T TAKE TOO LONG UNTIL IT'S LIGHT
BUT the MORNING STARS KEEP ON TWINKLING IN THE SKY
CAN'T SAY GOODBYE LIKE YOU AND I

WALKING ALONG WHISTLING A SONG
AMONG...

J. van Eijck/J.Moring

THE BALLAD OF JESSE GREEN

ON A LONG HOT SUMMERNIGHT
HE TOLD HIS FOLKS HE HAD TO RIDE
AND HE WENT OFF TO FIND THE DANGER
THAT TURNED HIM ON

IT WAS DOWN IN ARIZONA
WHERE HE WAITED ON THE CORNER
WITH A HAND REACHIN' FASTER THAN THE EYE
IT WAS DOWN IN ARIZONA
WHERE HE STOOD AGAINST A LONER
AND HIS EYES KEPT SAYIN' "YOU'RE ABOUT TO DIE"
OH NA NA NA NA , HE WAS YOUNG BUT MEAN
HE WAS THE DEVIL WITH GUN
AND HIS NAME WAS JESSE GREEN

HE WAS WANTED FOR KILLIN' AND STEALIN'
BUT TO JAIL HIM COULDN'T BE DONE
'CAUSE HE CLEARED THE LEATHER
BEFORE YOU COUNTED ONE

IT WAS DOWN...

SO WHEN THEY PUT HIM IN A HOLE
NOT A MAN PRAYED FOR HIS SOUL
AND ON HIS GRAVE WAS JUST
A DIRTY BUNCH OF STONE

IT WAS DOWN...

ALL THAT WE NEED IS EACHOTHER

ALL THAT WE NEED IS EACHOTHER
YOU ARE THE ONE THAT I LOVE
I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES
AND I'M IN PARADISE
I NEVER HAD THIS FEELING
AND I DON'T WANNA LOSE IT

LOVE YOU FOR EVER AND EVER
YOU MADE MY DARKNESS SO BRIGHT
AND WHEN I SEE YOUR FACE
I LONG FOR YOUR EMBRACE TONIGHT

SORROW INSTEAD OF DESIRE
DARKNESS IN MY BROKEN HEART
YOU CAME TO LIGHT UP MY FIRE
YOU GAVE MY LIFE A NEW START

All THAT WE NEED IS...

PROMISE ME YOU'LL NEVER LEAVE ME
NOW THAT YOU KNOW YOU'RE MY MAN
BABY DON'T EVER DECEIVE ME
THIS HEART CAN'T BE BROKEN AGAIN

ALL THAT WE NEED IS...

J. van Eick/J. Moring

DO YOU LOVE ME

DO YOU LOVE ME DO YOU LOVE HER
WHO WILL IT BE
YOU HAVE TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND
DO YOU LOVE ME DO YOU LOVE HER
WHY DON'T YOU SEE
YOU CAN'T LOVE TWO GIRLS AT A TIME

I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER
SHE TOLD YOU LAST NIGHT
HER KISSES WERE DRIVING YOU WILD
I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER
I'LL TELL YOU TONIGHT
WHEN IN MY ARMS I'LL HOLDING YOU TIGHT

DO YOU LOVE ME DO YOU...

WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER
SHE TOLD YOU LAST NIGHT
TOMORROW SHE'LL WALK OUT ON YOU
BUT I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER
NOT ONLY TONIGHT
MY LOVE IS TRUE
I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU

DO YOU LOVE ME DO YOU ...

J. van Eick/J. Moring

DON'T SAY YOU LOVE ME

DON'T SAY YOU LOVE ME ANY MORE
DON'T WANNA HEAR YOUR LIES NO MORE
THERE'S A FEELING IN MY HEART
THAT YOU DECEIVED ME RIGHT FROM THE START

THE MAGIC MOMENTS THAT WE SHARED
THEY MADE ME FEEL HOW MUCH YOU CARED
YOU SAID "YOU'RE ALWAYS ON MY MIND"
AND I BELIEVED YOU 'CAUSE LOVE WAS BLIND

WE HAVE TO PART
SO NOW I SET YOU FREE
YOU BROKE MY HEART
AND MADE A FOOL OF ME

DON'T SAY YOU LOVE...

SOLO

WE HAVE TO PART SO NOW...

DON'T SAY YOU LOVE ME ANY MORE
DON'T WANNA HEAR YOUR LIES NO MORE
YOU MADE ME LOVE YOU YOU MADE ME CRY
BUT NOW IT'S OVER SO LONG GOODBYE
BUT NOW IT'S OVER SO LONG GOODBYE

J. van Eick/J. Moring

EV'RYBODY IS ROCKIN'

I PICK UP MY GUITAR GONNA FIND ME A BAR
WHERE I KNOW EV'RYBODY IS ROCKIN'
GIVE A BIG HAND TO THE BOYS OF THE BAND
THE ONLY THING WE WANNA DO IS ROCKIN'
IT'S A FRIDAY NIGHT LET IT ALL HANG OUT
OH IT FEELS SO GOOD WHEN YOU'RE ROCKIN'
LISTEN TO THE BEAT WHEN YOU MOVE YOUR FEET
THAT'S HOW WE DO IT WHEN WE'RE ROCKIN'

I FEEL SO STRONG
WHEN I'M SINGING A SONG
AND EV'RYBODY SINGS ALONG
WE DON'T STOP ANYMORE
WHEN THE CROWD'S ON THE FLOOR
AND EV'RYBODY'S YELLING ' BABY GIMME SOME MORE'

I PICK UP MY GUITAR...

IT'S A DAMN HOT NIGHT
HOLD YOUR BABYLOVE TIGHT
WE ARE GONNA TURN OFF THE LIGHT
WE'RE GONNA STAY AWAKE
HAVE A BEAR AND A STEAK
EV'RYBODY'S ROCKIN' UNTILL THE DAY WILL BREAK

I PICK UP MY ...

I'M COMING HOME AGAIN

BABY I WAS WRONG BUT NOW I'M COMING HOME
AND I WILL NEVER GO AGAIN
I HAVE BEEN AROUND BUT AFTER ALL I FOUND
I CAN'T FORGET THE ONLY MAN
BABY I WAS WRONG I'VE BEEN WAY TOO LONG
IF YOU GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE
I WILL TAKE THE FIRST FLIGHT BABY TONIGHT
OH, I'M COMING HOME AGAIN

I WAS UP AND AWAY
LOOKING FOR FREEDOM
I'LL BE HAPPY TO STAY
LOSING MY FREEDOM IN YOUR LOVING ARMS AGAIN

BABY I WAS WRONG...

WHY HAVE WE BEEN APART
I WAS SO LONELY
I'D HAVE KNOWN FROM THE START
I LOVE YOU ONLY TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS AGAIN

BABY I WAS WRONG...

J.van Eick/J.Moring

THE FRENCH SONG

NOW WHEN THE SUN SAYS GOODDAY TO THE MOUNTAINS
AND THE NIGHT SAYS HELLO TO THE DAWN
I'M ALONE WITH MY DREAMS ON THE HILLTOP
I CAN STILL HEAR YOUR VOICE, THOUGH YOU'RE GONE

I HEAR FROM MY DOOR
THE LOVESONGS THROUGH THE WIND
IT BRINGS BACK SWEET MEMORIES OF YOU
NOW WHEN THE SUN SAYS GOODDAY TO THE MOUNTAINS
I'M ALONE, DREAMING ONLY OF YOU

QUAND LE SOLEIL DIT BONJOUR AUX MONTAGNES
ET QUE LA NUIT RENCONTRE LE JOUR
JE SUIS SEUL AVEC MES RÈVES SUR LA MONTAGNE
UNE VOIX ME RAPELLE TOUJOURS

L'ECHO QUE M'APPORTE LA CHANSON DU VENT
RAPPELLE LES SOUVENIRS DE TOI
QUAND LE SOLEIL DIT BONJOUR AUX MONTAGNES
JE SUIS SEUL ET NE VEUX PENSER QU' À TOI

Larry Vincent/ Harry Pease

IT'S GONNA HURT ME

AIN'T GOT TIME TO HOLD YOU EVERY MINUTE IN MY ARMS LOVE
AIN'T GOT TIME TO STICK AROUND ALL DAY LONG
NOW I SAW YOU WITH ANOTHER WOMAN ON THE SIDEWALK
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE REASON BABY TELL ME WHY
DON'T YOU SEE IT'S MAKING ME CRY YOU TELL ME ONLY LIES

DON'T YOU KNOW IT'S GONNA HURT ME
DON'T YOU KNOW IT'S GONNA HURT ME
WEVE GOT TO TRY TO KEEP THE FIRE IN OUR EYES
DON'T YOU KNOW IT'S GONNA HURT ME
DON'T YOU KNOW IT'S GONNA HURT ME
IF YOU GOTTA GO ON TELLING ALL THOSE LIES

Solo

HOW MANY TIMES I TOLD YOU BABY THAT I LOVE YOU MADLY
HOW MANY TIMES WE HUGGED EACHOTHER AND MADE LOVE
IS IT SO HARD TO STICK AROUND ME BABY DON'T YOU WANT ME
DOING EVE'RYTHING I CAN TO KEEP YOU BY MY SIDE
DON'T YOU SEE YOU'RE MAKING ME CRY BY TELLING ONLY LIES

DON'T YOU KNOW IT'S...
J.van Eick

YOU'RE THE REASON WHY

THE THINGS YOU SAY DON'T ALWAYS HURT ME
THE THINGS YOU DO DON'T ALWAYS MAKE ME CRY
THE THINGS YOU DO DON'T ALWAYS HURT ME
BUT WHEN THEY HURT ME YOU'RE THE REASON WHY

THE THINGS YOU DO ARE WITHOUT REASON
THE THING'S FOR ME TO DO, IS LET IT LIE
BUT WHEN I LIE THE PAIN AIN'T EASING
YOU KNOW THE REASON YOU'RE THE REASON WHY

SOMETIMES I'M UP
SOMETIMES I'M DOWN
SOMETIMES I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M GOING ANYWAY
SOMETIMES I FEEL JUST LIKE A CLOWN
AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M GOING
AND I JUST DON'T KNOW THE WAY

THE THINGS YOU SAY DON'T ALWAYS HURT ME
THE THINGS YOU DO DON'T ALWAYS MAKE ME CRY
THE THINGS YOU DO DON'T ALWAYS HURT ME
BUT WHEN THEY HURT ME YOU'RE THE REASON WHY

John Richardson/ Alan William

HARD TIMES COMING

OH, THERE'S A HARD TIME COMING
KNOWING THAT MY MAN IS GONE
I KNOW THERE'S HARD TIMES COMING
SITTIN' HERE ON MY OWN
THE ONLY THING THAT HE LEFT TO ME
WAS JUST A NOTE "I'LL SET YOU FREE"
DON'T WANT NO HARD TIMES COMING
I WANT YOU BACK HERE WITH ME

IF I ONLY KNEW BABY
WHERE DID I DO YOU WRONG
JUST ONE LOOK AT YOUR PILLOW
AND I KNOW YOU ARE GONE
WAS IT TRUE WHEN YOU TOLD ME
I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU
WAS IT TRUE WHEN YOU SAID
A MILLION TIMES "I LOVE YOU"

THERE'S A HARD TIME...

BABY DON'T YOU REALIZE
THAT YOU LEFT ME IN PAIN
CAN'T YOU SEE THIS BROKEN HEART'S
GONNA DRIVE ME INSANE
WHAT ABOUT ALL THE YEARS
OF HAPPINESS TOGETHER
BABY PLEASE LET US TRY AGAIN
AND MAKE IT BETTER

OH, THERE'S A HARD TIME...
