PARADISE
By
Bee Gees
***************
Lonely people gathering there to be one
Gonna be the last time wasted
Gonna be seen to be gone
Run a mile for the minute
Gonna mind another day without you in it
And you
You promised me paradise
Don’t go back on your word
No you
You promised me paradise
All my days of loving you under my skin
Gonna be a wild wild world
When nobody wants to give in
Gonna call me on the hour
Gonna mind if I don’t hear it
I would hate to be you
You promised me paradise
Don’t go back on your word
No you
You promised me paradise
Can you tell me if there’s gonna be another reason to cry
Will I be the last to know
Unless we make another way of doing what we do
We won’t believe it anymore
Will I be the one to cry
Problems,problems haunting me
Circle my head
Gonna be a wild world
Let me hide away under your bed
Run a mile for the minute
Gonna mind another day without you in it
And you
You promised me paradise
Don’t go back on your word
No you
You promised me paradise
You promised me paradise
(Ah..Ah.. Ah…)
You promised me paradise
THIS IS YOUR LIFE
***************
Something that I hunger for
Something you deny
You say I’m bad for you
And baby so do I
Don’t you know that all you gotta do
You could be a lover
And baby this is
This is your life
Don’t break it
It’s who you do it for
It’s the pain and pleasure
This is your life
Temptation
A victim of the law
We can talk about it
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This is your life
This is your life
If you try to help someone
You get the evil eye
You say you suffocate
Well baby so do I
Don’t you know that all you gotta do
You could be a lover
And baby this is
This is your life
Don’t hide it
Don’t try to mystify
How soft the flesh is
This is your life
Get even, even if you die
Don’t run for cover
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This is your life
Temptation
That’s who you do it for
It’s the pain and the pleasure
This is your life
Temptation
A victim of the law
We can talk about it
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This is your life
Define ourselves
As something in space
Not enough for everyone
Everyone and as we speak
The enemy is the mind
I see the future coming for you
All the lonely days and the lonely nights
You’ve been searching for a love so right
It’s a tragedy just stayin’ alive
Stayin’ alive
And all that
Jive talking
What you doing on your back
Jive talking
More rap less crap
Times are bad, money is tight
Ain’t too much heaven on
A Saturday night
Tell me now how deep is your love
The heart is soft
But the brain is tough
The enemy is the mind
Don’t let the future fall apart
This is my world too, just run to me
If you ever wanna mend that broken heart
I have seen those nights on Broadway too
Blaming it all
What about you
This is your life
This is your life
Don’t hide it
Don’t try to mystify
How soft the flesh is
This is your life
It’s who you do it for
It’s the pain and pleasure
This is your life
Temptation
This is your life
SAW A NEW MORNING
***************
All of a sudden I saw a new morning
I’m locked up I want to be free
Out in the courtyard and over the wall then
My friends are waiting for me
Sixteen people are waiting to get me
Hoping to take me outside
I hear the sound of the snubnose behind me
I went along for the ride
Wind in my face and my bones they are aching
My soul must weather the storm
I must run till my back it is breaking
Desp’ratly I must keep on
Sixteen people are waiting to get me
Hoping to take me outside
I hear the sound of the snubnose behind me
I went along for the ride
La…
All of a sudden I saw a new morning
I went along for the ride
All of a sudden I saw a new morning
All of a sudden I saw a new morning
All of a sudden I saw a new morning
I saw a new morning
DEJA VU
***************
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
I’m not a saint but stand accused
You’re with someone who thinks love’s the same as being used
And now suspicious minds may say it’s over
Over
Whether I live or die, you are my saviour
You’re my saviour
It’s my deja vu, sweet deja vu
Through the feast or famine I’ll be with you
Sheltering arms reach out to you
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
The silent nights, I cry your name
You’re with someone who says
They can get you through your pain
These golden years keep on returning
It’s hurting
Precious and few
You’re my saviour, you’re my saviour
It’s my deja vu, sweet deja vu
Through the feast or famine I’ll be with you
Sheltering arms reach out to you
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
And cherish what they’ve lost
When often it’s too late
It’s my deja vu (memories of you)
Sweet deja vu (keep coming through)
Through the feast or famine
I’ll be with you (all that is true)
Sheltering arms reach out to you
Oh baby
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
HAPPY EVER AFTER
***************
Though I know it’s time to take you home
Baby you and I are all alone
We should take a moment of our own
And look what we’ve got
You could destroy this heart of mine
I’m only trying to get by
Hiding in the shadows of the night
Holding you and knowing the wrong is right
Show me some mercy
You know what you’re doin’ is making me
A happy man
I shield you from the rain
I’ve been slow to get you but
I’m working
As hard as I can
This time, it’s what we believe is true
And whether you believe I’m in love with you
I gotta be sure that you say what you mean
Is it only a dream to a teenage queen
And all the years of tears and laughter
We could go through
Will it be happy ever after
For me and you
Heaven is a place inside of me
Livin’ with your heart as company
Only you can change the way I feel
And make it feel good
Where there is love there is no crime
I’m only tryin’ to get mine
Let me be the one to dry your eyes
We can be the promise that never dies
Light of an angel
Blinded by the vision
I’m wishin’ we could travel on
Stay with me baby
Any less than an hour
You be leavin’ me lonely too long
This time, it’s what we believe is true
And whether you believe I’m in love with you
I gotta be sure that you say what you mean
Is it only a dream to a teenage queen
And you define the dream you’re after
Make it come true
Will it be happy ever after
Will it be happy ever after
For me and you
THE LORD
***************
What do you get for trying? Minute you’re born you’re dying.
The body is six feet down.The Lord says the soul sticks around.
You can believe what you wanna but I know what I’m gonna do.
I’m gonna believe in the Lord.
You can believe what you wanna but I know what I’m gonna do.
I’m gonna believe in the Lord.
You think you live on laughter. But you don’t know what’s after.
Singing Hallelujah. I can know the Master.
When my life is over. Lie in fields of clover.
Waiting for my own girl. Living in a new world . Yeah..
I’m gonna believe in the Lord.
