"Love Me Like A Song" Lyrics Page
darkness lifting
(rhodes-cates)
look at how the moon fits
in the sky
it's easy to be lured into the beauty of the night
i've been so lost without the sun
when's the morning ever gonna come
darkness lifting
from my eyes
darkeness lifting
my soul will rise
like a pheonix from the ashes i will fly away
i've had lots of time down
here to figure out
what it was that got me trapped beneath these concrete clouds
but there will be the break of day
and pretty soon the stone will roll away
I have everything
(rhodes-savigar)
I used to be too lost to
trust someone
I wandered in and out of love
It's safe to say I've found my way
now that you've helped me see that I have everything
I once imagined there were
lots of things
that might not ever come to be
but now my dreams are so complete
now that you're here with me and I have everything
there was a time when I
thought love had passed me by
I look at you and know my world has just arrived
my heart's found hope that
there will always be
no end to what you'll bring to me
I have so much
I have so much
now that I have your love and I have everything
only love can save me now
(rhodes)
It's hard to keep a smile
on your face
when you're in front of the firing squad
and your last chance to run is runnin' out
Perspective doesn't figure in
once you've got the blindfold on
and your last cigarette is burning down
Well, maybe I can finally get some rest
or maybe you could grant my last request 'cause
Only love can save me now
Only love can save me now
Every wish I sigh echoes off the sky saying
Only love can save me now
It's hard to keep your eye
on the prize
when somewhere in the back of your mind
you know the other shoe is bound to fall
How ya supposed to keep your sense of humour
when the woods are full of rumours
that someone's got their finger on the bomb
Nothin' that I ever lost or gained
ever really mattered anyway 'cause
Only love can save me now.
Only love can save me now.
Every wish I sigh echoes off the sky saying
Only love can save me now
Running here and running
there
bar the entrances with chairs
All the walls are ten feet high or more
All the windows locked up tight
All the stash hid out of sight
'cause the big bad wolf is at the door
Only love can save me now.
Only love can save me now.
Every prayer I cry echoes off the sky sayin,
Only love can save me now
love me like a song
(rhodes-nicholson)
put your arms around me
listen to my heartbeat now
if you want to love me
baby, i can show you how
love me like a song
sweet as a melody
learn all the words to me
and sing along
find the harmony
the rhythm and the rhyme to me
on and on
all night long
love me like song
i want to be the melody
you can't get out of your head
think of me as words of love
a poet might have said
send me the sun
(rhodes)
when the wind blows me back
and this world has hurt my feelings
just a little light is all i'm needing
but you send me the sun.
you send me the sun
send me the sun wrapped
in a rainbow
and i'll wash my face in this rain
and brave this tornado
hey, hey, you're the only one
who could send me the sun
send me the sun
when my world has pinned me down
so i can't see through the clouds
darkness falling all around
but you send me the sun
send me the sun
heaven knows this heart
of mine
is only waiting for a sign
i've got my face turned to the sky
so come on brighten everything
come on shine your light on me
send me the sun wrapped
in a rainbow
and i'll wash my face in this rain
and brave this tornado
hey, hey, you're the only one
who could send me the sun
send me the sun
midnight song
(rhodes)
meet me at midnight down
by the tree where the night bird sings
meet me at midnight down by the tree where the night bird sings
there's a sea of stars ticking by above the trees
there's a hollow log shining
in the moon
see the hollow log shining in the moon
little dog laughed and the dish ran away with the spoon
i wrestle with the angels
and dance with the devils in my head
wrestle with the angels and i dance with the devils in my head
and the ghosts come knockin' when i lie dreaming in my bed
i need a bedtime story 'bout
all the kings horses and all the kings men
i need a bedtime story 'bout all the kings horses and all the
kings men
i feel so broken could you put me together again
elevator man picked me up
on the thirteenth floor
elevator man picked me up on the thirteenth floor
said come on up there's always room for one more
meet me at midnight down
by the tree where the night bird sings
meet me at midnight down by the tree where the night bird sings
there's a sea of stars ticking by above the trees
play me a memory
(rhodes-tench-tillis-nicholson)
the bar is almost empty
it's close to closing time
i'm feeling sentimental
i've had a little wine
i've been over in the corner
waiting all night long
still i haven't heard my song
play me a memory
a spring afternoon
i don't remember all the words
but i can hum the tune
play me a feeling
soft sweet & slow
i don't know how love arrives
but i know how it goes
play me magnolias
play me some rain
stardust and autumn leaves
and a moonlight seranade
whenever he was holding me
i heard violins
play me a memory
take me there again
play me a bridge to yesterday
a blue train
a sad refrain
all that remains of love
my love
play me a feeling
soft sweet and slow
play me a memory
a sad and smokey reverie
i don't how love arrives
but i know how it goes
louis' world
(rhodes)
back in the journey when
he was a bird
he would always sing every song he knew
life had such meaning back when he had wings
he would always fly way into the blue
we've done this before
(rhodes-nicholson)
this ain't no ship of fools
we know where we're headed
we know how to chart the stars
that shine for you and me
it was no lucky guess
that brought us to each other
our hearts have always known
the way it's meant to be
we've done this before
we know how to live this love once more
like a wave returning to the shore
it's gonna be easy we've done this before.
we know this boat may sail
into stormy weather
but we don't fear the endless sky
that brought us here together
so, for a thousand thousand years
we'll always find each other
and know that one day when we meet
we'll sail beyond the sea
we've done this before
we know how to live this love once more
like a wave returning to the shore
it's gonna be easy we've done this before
witness to the crime
(rhodes-nicholson)
i didn't lie to nobody
i don't want to be lied to
i didn't hurt nobody
so don't hurt me
i didn't cheat nobody
i don't want to be cheated
i didn't make this trouble
so just let me be
and i won't make excuses
i don't need an alibi
i'm just an innocent passerby
just a witness to the crime
i don't want to preach
i don't want to be preached at
i don't want to save nobody
i don't want to be saved
i don't want to curse
i don't want to be damned
i don't want to scare nobody
cause i am not afraid
and i won't make excuses
i don't need an alibi
i'm just an innocent passerby
just a witness to the crime
i never had a slave
i don't want to be a slave
i'm not gonna judge
i don't want to be judged
nodody 's trying to kill me
so i don't want to kill
i just want to love
and be loved
love & happiness for you
(rhodes-harris)
here's a wishing well
here's a penny for
any thought it is that makes you smile
every diamond dream
everything that brings
love & happiness to your life
here's a rabbit's foot
take it when you go
so you'll always know you're safe from harm
wear you ruby shoes
when you're far away
so you'll always stay
home in your heart
you will always have a lucky
star
that shines because of what you are
even in the deepest dark
because your aim is true
but if i could only have one wish
then it would be this
love & happiness for you
here's a spinning wheel
use it once you've learned
there's a way to turn the straw to gold
here's a rosary
count on every bead
with a prayer to keep the hope you hold
november december
(rhodes)
january, february, march,
april
may i have this dance
june, july, august, september, october
give me just one chance
november my poor sweet victim
of circumstance
december may find you lost in this romance
one, two, three, four
five days in he cried
give me a little a little please give me
just a little more time
november, my poor sweet
victim of circumstance
december may find you lost in this romance
lah, lah, lah, lah lah, lah lah, lah, lah lah,lah
november, my poor sweet
victim of circumstance
december may find you lost in this romance
january, february, march,
april,
my how time does fly
june, july, august, september, october
and sweet november
the one to walk you home
(rhodes-tench-nicholson)
i don't know where you've
been
i don't know where you're goin'
wherever you're goin'
i'm sure it's not out of my way
if i tag along would you tell me your story
'cause i want to hear every word that you've got to say
if life is a journey
and love is the road we're on
i want to be the one
the one to walk you home
every now and then
i find myself driftin'
but off in the distance
i see something sparkling bright
and time and again i've tried to find it
i think i could find it if you were by my side
if life is a journey
and love is the road we're on
i want to be the one
the one to walk you home....
and i want you to believe
there's no better place for you to be
than here on this road
walkin' along with me
so, give me your hand
whenever you're ready
'cause i think we could be headed for home
if life is a journey
and love is the road we're on
i want to be the one
the one to walk you home
