As I sit and close my eyes
There's peace in my mind
And I'm hoping that you'll find it too
And these feelings in my heart
I know are meant for you
Meant for you
Doop doo doo dooo
Doop doo doo dooo
Doop doo doo dooo
Doop doo doo dooo
I'm thinking about a-this whole world
Late at night I think about the love of this whole world
Lots of different people everywhere
And when I go anywhere I see love I see love I see lo-oh oh oh
When girls get mad at boys and go
Many times they're just putting on a show
But when they leave you wait alone
You are there like everywhere like everyone you see
Happy cause you're living and you're free
Now here comes another day for your love
(I'm thinking about this whole world)
(A-this whole world)
Your love
Woo oo oo oo ooo ooo oo oo
(Woo oo oo oo ooo ooo oo oo)
Aummmmm wooo wooooo bop didit
Late at night I think about the love of this whole world
Oomm dot dit it
Oomm dot dit it
Oomm
Where did your long hair go
Where is the girl I used to know
How could you lose that happy glow
Oh, Caroline no
Who took that look away
I remember how you used to say
You'd never change, but that's not true
Oh, Caroline you
Break my heart
I want to go and cry
It's so sad to watch a sweet thing die
Oh, Caroline why
Could I ever find in you again
Things that made me love you so much then
Could we ever bring 'em back once they have gone
Oh, Caroline no
Let the wind blow
Let the grass grow
But don't let her go
Don't take her out of my life
Don't take her out of my life
Woah-oh
Let the moon glow
(Let the moon glow)
On the fallen snow
(Let the moon glow)
(On the fallen snow)
Well I just got to know
(Let me please know oh oh oh)
Know she'll be a part of our life
Know she'll be a part of our life
Forever
Let the bees make honey
Let the poor find money
Take away their sorrows
Give them sunshine tomorrow
But don't take her out of my life
Don't take her out of my life
What would I do without her tell me now
Let the bird sing
With the coming spring
Let the church bells ring
Let the rain fall
Let the grass grow
Let the moon glow
On the fallen snow
But don't take her out of my life
Please keep her a part of our life
I was sittin' in a crummy movie with my hands on my chin
All the violence that occurs seems like we never win
Love and mercy that's what you need tonight
So love and mercy to you and your friends tonight
I was lyin' in my room and the news came on T.V.
A lotta people out there hurtin' and it really scares me
Love and mercy that's what you need tonight
So love and mercy to you and your friends tonight
I was standin' in a bar and watchin' all the people there
Oh the loneliness in this world well it's just not fair
Oooooo-ooooooo-ooooooo
Oooooo-yeah
Ahhhhh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahhhhhh
Love and mercy to you
To you
Love and mercy that's what you need tonight
So love and mercy to you and your friends tonight
Love and mercy that's what you need tonight
Love and mercy tonight
It's automatic when I
Talk with old friends
The conversation turns to
Girls we knew when their
Hair was soft and long and the
Beach was the place to go
With suntanned bodies and
Rays of sunshine the
California girls and a
Beautiful coastline
Warmed up weather
Let's get together and
Do it again
With a girl the lonely sea looks good in moonlight
Makes your nighttimes warm and out of sight
Been so long (Dip dip dit di dit)
Been so long (Dip dip dit di dit)
Been so long
(Hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now)
(Hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now)
Well I've been thinking 'bout
All the places we've surfed and danced and
All the faces we've missed so let's get
Back together and do it again
What good is the dawn
That grows into day
The sunset at night
Or living this way
For I have the warmth of the sun
(The warmth of the sun)
Within me at night
(Within me at night)
The love of my life
She left me one day
I cried when she said
"I don't feel the same way"
Still I have the warmth of the sun
(Warmth the warmth of the sun)
Within me tonight
(Within me tonight)
I'll dreams of her arms
And though they're not real
Just like she's still there
The way that I feel
My love's like the warmth of the sun
(The warmth of the sun)
It won't ever die
(It won't ever die)
She belongs there left with her liberty
Never known as a non-believer
She laughs and stays in the won-won-won-wonderful
She knew how to gather the forest when
God reached softly and moved her body
One golden locket
Quite young and loving her mother and father
Farther down the path was a mystery
Through the recess the chalk and numbers
A boy bumped into the won-won-won-wonderful
All fall down and lost in the mystery
Lost it all to a non-believer
And all that's left is a girl
Who's loved by her mother and father
She'll return in love with the mystery
Never known as a non-believer
She'll sigh and thank God for won-won-won-wonderful
Time for supper now
Day's been hard and I'm so tired
I feel like eating now
Smell the kitchen now
Hear the maid whistle a tune
My thoughts are fleeting now
Still I dream of it
Of that happy day
When I can say I've fallen in love
And it haunts me so
Like a dream that's
Somehow linked to all the stars above
Young and beautiful
Like a tree that's just been planted
I found life today
I made mistakes today
Will I ever learn the lessons
That all come my way
Still I dream of it
Of that happy day
When I can say I've fallen in love
And it haunts me so
Like a dream that's
Somehow linked to all the stars above
A little while ago
My mother told me
Jesus loved the world
And if that's true then
Why hasn't he helped me to find a girl
And find my world
'Til then I'm just a dreamer
I'm convinced of it
The hypnosis of our minds can take us far away
It's so easy now
You see someone up there high
And heaven's here to stay
Still I dream of it
Of that happy day
When I can say I've fallen in love
And it haunts me so
Like a dream that's
Somehow linked to all the stars above
Da da da daa
Da da da daa
Da da da daa
I wonder why nothin' ever seems to go my way
But every time I see you
I get that same old feelin'
And my dreams just melt away, melt away
The world's not waiting just for me
The world don't care what I can be
I feel just like an island
Until I see you smilin'
And my dreams just melt away, melt away
I won't let you see me suffer
No not me
I won't let you hear me cryin'
No not me
I won't let you see me sighin'
Whoa not me
Whoa oh oh oh
Sometimes I close off to the world
You know I close off to you girl
But when I hear you talking
I feel my heart unlocking
And my dreams just melt away, melt away
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-eyyyy
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-eyyyy
(Dit) dit dit dit
(Dit) dit dit dit
(Dit) dit dit dit
(Dit) dit dit dit
And my blues just melt away, melt away
(Melt away) melt away [melt away] (melt away)
Melt away [melt away] (melt away)
Melt away [melt away] (melt away)
Melt away [melt away] (melt away)
Melt away [melt away] (melt away)
Melt away [melt away] (melt away)
I'm a cork on the ocean
Floating over the raging sea
How deep is the ocean?
How deep is the ocean?
I lost my way
Hey hey hey
I'm a rock in a landslide
Rolling over the mountainside
How deep is the valley?
How deep is the valley?
It kills my soul
Hey hey hey
I'm a leaf on a windy day
Pretty soon I'll be blown away
How long will the wind blow?
How long will the wind blow?
Dip do do do
Do do do do
Do do
Until I die
Until I die
These things I'll be until I die
These things I'll be until I die
These things I'll be until I die
These things I'll be until I die
These things I'll be until I die
These things I'll be until I die
