Butterflies

Here's a little story 'bout a friend of mine
Who thought he'd found love after all of this time
After so many years of feeling all alone
He finally found a dream he could call his own
But things are rarely the way you want them to be
Even butterflies die eventually
So he met a pretty girl and she stole his heart
You couldn't separate them from the very start
Like a couple of kids living loves young dream
The curse finally lifted, or so it would seem
But there's always some discord in the harmony
Even butterflies die eventually
So he built his hopes on the dreams that they both shared
And it felt so right, there was nothing to compare
Then he smiled at her, said he always would be there
But love's that fickle mistress that you rarely see
Even butterflies die eventually
She lived miles away but he didn't care
He'd cross the universe for a space to share
They talked every day and it made him smile
'cause he knew that she was coming in a little while
He wore his heart on his sleeve for everyone to see
But even butterflies die eventually
So she came home for Christmas, and he was so glad
Because she was the best present that he'd ever had
No-one could have guessed that it could get so bad
Walking in the rain near a cottage by the sea
Even butterflies die eventually
She told him that she'd fallen head over heels for him
And he never thought he could feel that way again
The sky felt like it was much more blue than it had ever been before
And the birds sang so much sweeter like they knew the score
So he went to travel and they said goodbye
The thought of separation made him want to cry
Checked his mail every day in the hope to see
A message saying please come home to me
But then she told him that they had different lives to lead
Even butterflies die eventually
It's a funny old game when you think that you know
But then the curtain comes down and it's the end of the show
And they're playing all the love songs on the radio
Love's that fickle mistress that you rarely see
Even butterflies die eventually
But this songs not about a friend, I'm not gonna lie
I try to keep it from myself because it makes me cry
Because it's always the hardest thing to say goodbye
Walking in the rain near a cottage by the sea
Waiting at the station, kissing endlessly
You told me that you'd fallen head over heels for me
Even butterflies die eventually

Coming Around
06:17
|

|
There's a big old moon hanging from the sky
It sings the tune of a lullaby
It can make you laugh or it can make you cry
Are you coming around tonight?
If I talk to you would you listen to me
Or is your head much stronger than the cherry tree
Maybe chop it down so we both can see
Are you coming around tonight?
Are you coming around?
Are you coming around tonight?
Are you coming around?
Are you coming around tonight?
Are you coming around?
Are you coming around tonight?
If your talk is cheap you won't follow through
And that may bring it on home to you
Just think of the things that we can do
Are you coming around tonight?
Those are not my thoughts, it's just the way I felt
It's not the game, it's just the way it's dealt
If I can't find home I'll just follow the belt
Are you coming around tonight?
Are you coming around?
Are you coming around tonight?
Are you coming around?
Are you coming around tonight?
Are you coming around?
Are you coming around tonight?
There's a big old moon hanging from the sky
It sings the tune of a lullaby
It can make you laugh or it can make you cry
Are you coming around tonight?
If I talk to you would you listen to me
Or is your head much stronger than the cherry tree
Maybe chop it down so we both can see
Are you coming around tonight?
Are you coming around?
Are you coming around tonight?
Are you coming around?
Are you coming around tonight?
Are you coming around?
Are you coming around tonight?
Said are you coming around?
Are you coming around tonight?

Falling In Love
05:36
|

|
I think I'm falling in love with you
I know it hasn't been that long and it's out of the blue
Because it feels like the right thing to do
And maybe somewhere down the road. you'll feel it too
But I don't want to scare you away
'cause I love being near you, I want you to stay
And because of all of the things that you do
I think I'm falling in love with you
I'm just too old to be playing a game
But my heart skips a beat at the mention of your name
So I wrote you this simple refrain
That one day I might sing for you, and it will explain
That I'm an uncomplicated man
'cause I think we can make it, I hope that we can
And you know without you my heart feels so blue
I think I'm falling in love with you
Maybe I fall to easy, I've heard it said before
Don't want this love to leave me, only just opened the door
We could sail the stormy sea
If you'll grow old with me
Maybe I fall to easy, I've heard it said before
Don't want this love to leave me, only just opened the door
We could sail the stormy sea
If you'll grow old with me
I think I'm falling in love with you
I know it hasn't been that long and it's out of the blue
Because it feels like the right thing to do
And maybe somewhere down the road. you'll feel it too
But I don't want to scare you away
'cause I love being near you, I want you to stay
And you know without you my heart feels so blue
And because of all of the things that you do
I think I'm falling in love with you

Elvis
05:37
|

Waking from a dream I had the other night
Fussing and fighting and waiting for my eyes to adjust to the light
Trying to remember what I dreamt about
All I needed was a memory
Then the whole damn thing came flooding out
Me and Mr Presley in a limousine
But everything's ablaze, it's such a terrible scene
As I pull him from the flames
I see an old woman waiting to intervene
She says 'Thank you for rescuing Elvis
If it wasn't for you, he'd be gone
There'd be no one to sing all the songs of the king
How would we carry on?'
Cruising down to Memphis now to celebrate
All the family waiting there
And me and Mr Presley in a ticker tape parade
Everybody thanking me for what I've done
But I just want to get the party started
Wanna get along and have some fun
Standing on the podium with Mr P
The mayor steps forward and he's handing me the key
To the city as he smiles, he pulls me aside
And he speaks to me
He says 'Thank you for rescuing Elvis
If it wasn't for you, he'd be gone
There'd be no one to sing all the songs of the king
How would we carry on?'

There'd be no one to sing all the songs of the king
How would we carry on?'

Someone Like U

Here's my heart, I'm giving it to you
It's a start of everything that's new
How can I begin to say I want you in every way
You only have to see me smile to see what you mean to me
Fill my days with everything you feel
We'll embrace every hand they deal
Always be there when you call, I will catch you if you fall
And try to make it better every time and give you peace of mind
'cause there's never been someone like you
Somehow you'll always help me through
When I just can't survive, you make me feel alive
So here's my heart
'cause there's never been someone like you
Somehow you'll always help me through
When I just can't survive, you make me feel alive
So here's my heart, I'm giving it to you
It's a start of everything that's new
How can I begin to say I want you in every way
You only have to see me smile to see what you mean to me

Fear Of Falling
03:18
|
|||
|
Everyone hides their fear of falling
Lay down the broken glass I'm crawling over it to you
'cause that's what I do
The babe of another touched my heart and
Tears at my soul when we're apart
It's a deeper shade of blue than the one that I knew
For once in my life I held an angel sleeping in my arms
I kept her safe from harm the best that I could
And dreaming of you still makes me smile
If only for a while
And I love you
Silently grieving, that's my crime now
Always believing I'll have time to make it up to you
I hope that its true
I treasure each moment that we share and
I'll reassure you when you're scared of things that you can't see
That's where I'll be
For once in my life I held an angel sleeping in my arms
I kept her safe from harm the best that I could
And dreaming of you still makes me smile
If only for a while
And I love you

Friend

When your world feels like it's falling in on you
Don't just sit there, make a stand
Take control of it, that's what you have to do
Just reach out I'll take your hand
'cause life's a gamble and the stakes are pretty high
We're always losing and we just can't figure why
But most importantly we should let bad feelings mend
Or we'll lose control in the end
Live each day as if it were your last
When you're sad, put on a smile
Try not to worry about what's happened in the past
Time will heal your wounds in a while
You know it's all a game but you're not keeping score
You're trapped in a darkened place and you just can't find the door
You're on a long hard road and you haven't got a friend
So you lose control in the end
So when you're feeling like you can't take anymore
You'll be fine now don't despair
You've got the key now you just go unlock that door
Just turn around and I'll be there
Just step into the light and then you'll understand
No there's no need to fight, just reach out for my hand
You've got a broken heart well broken hearts can mend
So you keep control in the end
Just step into the light and then you'll understand
No there's no need to fight, just reach out for my hand
You've got a broken heart well broken hearts can mend
So you keep control
Yeah you keep control
You keep control in the end

You And Me
06:01

You and me, compatibility
Plain to see you and I were meant to be
Will we get by? How can we know 'til we try
Will we get through? Here's what we're going to do
Me and you, always gonna push on through
Stick like glue, know that I'm stuck on you
We'll be alright. Sometimes we scream and we fight
But it's ok. We'll take it all day by day
But don't you worry about the future
'cause I'll always be there to hold you tight
So let's not dwell upon the bad stuff
Somehow we can always make it right
We could spend our lives together
Just think of all the fun that it can be
Walking hand in hand beneath the moonlight
Growing old with you and you with me
Further down the line, I know it's gonna work out fine
You'll be mine, I'm yours 'til the end of time
'cause you're my light. Guiding me safe through the night
I love you. I know you're loving me too
But don't you worry about the future
'cause I'll always be there to hold you tight
So let's not dwell upon the bad stuff
Somehow we can always make it right
We could spend our lives together
Just think of all the fun that it can be
Walking hand in hand beneath the moonlight
Growing old with you and you with me
But don't you worry about the future
'cause I'll always be there to hold you tight
So let's not dwell upon the bad stuff
Somehow we can always make it right
We could spend our lives together
Just think of all the fun that it can be
Walking hand in hand beneath the moonlight
Growing old with you and you with me
Walking hand in hand beneath the moonlight
Growing old with you and you with me

Something And Nothing
03:58
|

I'm just sitting around waiting for something to happen
I'm just sitting around trying to find my own way out
I've been making some ground
Trying to find a piece of the action
While I'm working on just what it's all about
I've been drifting along aimlessly searching for nothing
I'm just singing a song trying to get the world to see
That there's nothing wrong
In taking some time over something
So I'll hang it out and wait for it to come to me
'cause it's all something and nothing
Everybody waits for their names to be called
We're all someone and no one
But somewhere in the scheme of things we fall
Nobody said it was going to be easy
And you know there's so many things to come
Bumpy roads can make you feel queasy
But you'll soon forego the nausea
When the crowd they all applaud 'ya
So I'll hang it out and wait for it to come to me
'cause it's all something and nothing
Everybody waits for their names to be called
We're all someone and no one
But somewhere in the scheme of things we fall
All something and nothing
Everybody waits for their names to be called
We're all someone and no one
But somewhere in the scheme of things we fall
I'm just sitting around waiting for something to happen

Last Night
04:34
|
|||
|
I see everything as photographs
And people move within them
That's what my mum said to me before she passed away
Didn't really understand the final cost of living
Didn't get to tell her all the things I had to say
Just stay close to me
I'll be all you'll need
We'll spend our last night
Holding hands and laughing at the TV
And we'll be alright
Taking care of one another
Just like you wanted it to be
I know that you are not afraid
But I'm afraid to be without you
I know that you don't want to go
I feel the same way too
I hope that we can find a place
With no pain and suffering
I hope the universe shines on you
Please don't let me go
I still need you so
We'll spend our last night
Holding hands and laughing at the TV
And we'll be alright
Taking care of one another
Just like you wanted it to be
And I know it's gonna take some time
To find a reason to the rhyme
And work out how to live without you here
And I want to thank you for my life
i know somehow that we'll survive
We'll spend our last night
Holding hands and laughing at the TV
And we'll be alright
Taking care of one another
Just like you wanted it to be
Where we can run as far as we can see
To the place where you can finally be free
I wish you could spend one last night with me
Just stay close to me
I'll be all you'll need
Please don't let me go

Sun Girl
04:18
|

|
I fell in love at the beach today
With a girl who passed by my way
Though I never knew her name
When she walked she gave me a smile
And her eyes held mine for more than a while
I think she felt the same
But she looked like an angel to me
Like it was meant to be
A vision of beauty, the girl with the sun in her eyes
I sat and watched as she walked away
'cross the beach and down to the waves
She turned back and smiled at me
Maybe then I should have moved in
To the water's edge to go for a swim
If only just to see
But I thought I was ready to fly
I didn't even have to try to tell you I loved you
the girl with the sun in her eyes
It wasn't hard to romanticise
I could swim in the pools of her eyes
That's all that I desire
We sat and watched as the sun went down
And I made her laugh, i was the clown
That set my world on fire
But we, we'll have our time by the sea
Forever it will be
I'm never leaving the girl with the sun in her eyes
There's no escaping it's like we've been hypnotised
I'm never leaving the girl with the sun in her eyes

Superheroes
06:03

Where have all the superheroes gone?
Can we find the strength to carry on?
Lay your cards upon the table
Talk to me if you are able
I can see that you are still the one
What about the writings on the wall?
No one ever told me it would fall
Tripping over bricks and mortar
Sailing through the stormy water
I thought I could steer us through it all
What about the writings on the wall?
'cause I'm sinking like a stone
And I can't reach you, I'm alone
Always taken by the tide on a long bumpy ride
And I'm thinking of a place where I can visualise your face
As I'm staring at the moon tonight
Hope you see the same light
Can we write our future in the skies?
I think I can see it in your eyes
Let's set sail and head for home now
i don't want to be alone
Why should I have to wear the same disguise?
Maybe we can reach a compromise
'cause I'm sinking like a stone
And I can't reach you, I'm alone
Always taken by the tide on a long bumpy ride
And I'm thinking of a place where I can visualise your face
As I'm staring at the moon tonight
Hope you see the same light
Take a chance with me, we'll see it through
It feels like the perfect thing to do
I know we can get along
I think I'm right, I could be wrong
But how are we to know if it is true?
Somewhere there's a place for me and you
'cause I'm sinking like a stone
And I can't reach you, I'm alone
Always taken by the tide on a long bumpy ride
And I'm thinking of a place where I can visualise your face
As I'm staring at the moon tonight
Yeah I'm sinking like a stone
And I can't reach you, I'm alone
Always taken by the tide on a long bumpy ride
And I'm thinking of a place where I can visualise your face
As I'm staring at the moon tonight
Hope you see the same light
Hope you see the same light
Hope you see the same light
