If - Bread

If a picture paints a thousand words,
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show 
the you I've come to know.
If a face could launch a thousand ships,
Then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you, 
You're all thats left me too.
And when my love for life is running dry,
You come and pour yourself on me.

If a man could be two places at one time,
I'd be with you.
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way.
If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die,
I'd spend the end with you.
And when the world was through,
Then one by one the stars would all go out,
Then you and I would simply fly away

B.J. THOMAS - ROCK AND ROLL LULLABY

B.J. THOMAS - ROCK AND ROLL LULLABY

She was just sixteen and all alone
When I came to be
So we grew up together
My mama child and me
Now things were bad and she was scared
But whenever I would cry
She'd calm my fears and dry my tears
With a rock and roll lullaby

And she would sing sha na na na na na na na 
It will be all right sha na na na na na
Sha na na na na na na na 
Now just hold on tight

Sing it to me mama (mama mama ma)
Sing it sweet and clear, oh!
Mama let me hear that old rock and roll lullaby

We made it through the lonely days
But Lord the nights were long
And we'd dream of better moments
When mama sang her song
Now I can't recall the words at all
It don't make sense to try
'Cause I just knew lots of love came through

In that rock and roll lullaby

The Manhattans - Kiss And Say Goodbye

The Manhattans - Kiss And Say Goodbye

Fonte: http://www.azlyrics.com

This has got to be the saddest day of my life
I called you here today for a bit of bad news
I won't be able to see you anymore
Because of my obligations, and the ties that you have
We've been meeting here everyday
And since this is our last day together
I wanna hold you just one more time
When you turn and walk away, don't look back
I wanna remember you just like this
Let's just kiss and say goodbye

I had to meet you here today
There's just so many things to say
Please don't stop me 'till I'm through
This is something I hate to do
We've been meeting here so long
I guess what we done, oh was wrong
Please darling, don't you cry
Let's just kiss and say goodbye

Many months have passed us by
(I'm gonna miss you)
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
I've got ties, and so do you
I just think this is the thing to do
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie
Maybe you'll meet, you'll meet another guy
Understand me, won't you try, try, try, try, try, try, try
Let's just kiss and say goodbye

(I'm gonna miss you)
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
Understand me, won't you try
(I'm gonna miss you)
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
Take my handkerchief, wipe your eyes
(I'm gonna miss you)
Maybe you'll find, you'll find another guy
(I'm gonna miss you)
Let's kiss and say goodbye, pretty baby
(I'm gonna miss you)
Please, don't you cry
(I'm gonna miss you)
Understand me, won't you try
(I'm gonna miss you)
Let's just kiss
And say goodbye

Gilbert O'Sullivan - Alone Again (Naturally)

Gilbert O'Sullivan - Alone Again (Naturally)

Fonte:  http://www.lyrics007.com/

In a little while from now 
If I'm not feeling any less sour 
I promise myself to treat myself 
And visit a nearby tower 
And climbing to the top 
Will throw myself off 
In an effort to 
Make it clear to whoever 
Wants to know what it's like 
When you're shattered 
Left standing in the lurch at a church 
Were people are saying, My God, that's tough 
She stood him up 
No point in us remaining 
We may as well go home 
As I did on my own 
Alone again, naturally 

To think that only yesterday 
I was cheerful, bright and gay 
Looking forward to who wouldn't do 
The role I was about to play 
But as if to knock me down 
Reality came around 
And without so much as a mere touch 
Cut me into little pieces 
Leaving me to doubt 
Talk about, God in His mercy 
Oh, if he really does exist 
Why did he desert me 
In my hour of need 
I truly am indeed 
Alone again, naturally 

It seems to me that 
there are more hearts 
Broken in the world 
that can't be mended 
Left unattended 
What do we do 
What do we do 
Alone again, naturally 

Looking back over the years 
And whatever else that appears 
I remember I cried when my father died 
Never wishing to hide the tears 
And at sixty-five years old 
My mother, God rest her soul 
Couldn't understand why the only man 
She had ever loved had been taken 
Leaving her to start 
With a heart so badly broken 
Despite encouragement from me 
No words were ever spoken 
And when she passed away 
I cried and cried all day 
Alone again, naturally 
Alone again, naturally
