Whole Wide World
Now the leaves are blowin'
Down the avenue
And the bells are ringing
The love that I found in you
All around the city
Before the winter snow
The sidewalks are so busy
But I wouldn't even know
'Cause all the people in the whole wide world (whole wide world)
Don't mean nothin' if you ain't got your girl (got your girl)
All the people seem so far away
'Cause I only want you to stay
With me, with me
The summer was unending
I had to see it through
No use in my pretending
I love everything you do
All the people in the whole wide world (whole wide world)
Don't mean nothin' if you ain't got your girl (got your girl)
All the people seem so far away
'Cause I only want you to stay
With me, with me
Dragonflies dipped on the swimming pool
By July I had to keep my cool
(You were shining) You were shining like a living jewel
Inside I knew
Time stood still with you
And all the people in the whole wide world (whole wide world)
Don't mean nothin' if you ain't got your girl (got your girl)
All the people seem so far away
'Cause I only want you to stay
With me, with me
With me, with me
With me, with me...
Moment to moment
There was a time I knew
All that there was to know
No one could tell me then
I was wrong
I wasn't strong enough
To see where my weakness lay
The world that you hold so tight
Could slip away
And from moment to moment
Your life can change
There's a storm over the horizon
A sea no one can see
Somewhere around the bend
Right when you least expect
Someone can walk away
With no regret
Leaving an empty space
Breaking a sacred trust
All of your shiny dreams
Begin to rust
Yes from moment to moment your life can change
There's a storm over the horizon
The sea you cannot see
Yes from moment to moment
Promise me you'll never change
Promise me you'll stay the same
Promise me you'll never change
Yes from moment to moment your life can change
There's a storm over the horizon
A sea you'll never see
Yes from moment to moment your life can change
There's a light when the sun is rising
A day after today
Promise me you'll never change (promise me you'll never change)
Promise me you'll stay the same (the same)
Promise me you'll never change
Every moment is a shining light
Every moment is the darkest night
Every moment gotta get it right
Every single moment
Every moment is a shining light
Every moment is the darkest night
Every moment gotta get it right
Every moment is a shining light
Every moment is the darkest night
Every moment gotta get it right
Every single moment...

A horse with no name
On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And a sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound
Refrain:
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can't remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
(la la la...)
After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a riverbed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead
You see, ...
(Refrain)
After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love
You see,
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can't remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la...
The Last Unicorn
When the last eagle flies
over the last crumbling mountain
and the last lion roars
at the last dusty fountain
In the shadow of the forest
though she may be old and worn
they will stare unbelieving
at the last unicorn
When the first breath of winter
through the flowers is icing
and you look to the north
and the pale moon is rising
And it seems like all is dying
and would leave the world to mourn
in the distance hear the laughter
of the last unicorn
I'm alive, I'm alive
When the last moon is cast
over the last star of morning
and the future has passed
without even a last desperate warning
Then look into the sky where through
the clouds a path is torn
Look and see her how she sparkles,
it's the last unicorn
I'm alive, I'm alive...
(America)
