TODAY
(John Waite/Phil Galdston; Sony Music(BMI)/Kazzoom Music,Inc-Famous Music(ASCAP)
I wake up in the planet's dawn
To find you here beside me
Through the blinds the bands of light
Throw circles round your hair
The passion of the here and now
The sweet taste of our promise
On your lips and in my heart
So naked and so honest
Children laughing in the street
The world grows underneath our feet still yearning
Flowers bursting through concrete
And everything keeps turning
Leaders rise and soldiers fall
But gravity will take us all
Tomorrow ticks away
This moment's where I'll stay
This love is mine today
Today
Let me tell you something about myself
And I don't talk too easily
The set of rooms on the nineteenth floor
Short stories on a chordless phones
I quit smoking but drink too much
Don't try and analyse me
Found a smile inside my life
Now nothing will surprise me
Children laughing in the street
The world grows underneath our feet still yearning
Flowers bursting through concrete
And everything keeps turning
Leaders rise and soldiers fall
But gravity will take us all
Tomorrow dips away
This moment's where I'll stay
This love is mine today
This is love is mine today
And down on the darkened street
The day is waiting to begin
So draw back the curtains now
And let the love come rushing in
Children laughing in the street
The world grows underneath our feet still yearning
Flowers bursting through concrete
And everything keeps turning
Leaders rise and soldiers fall
But gravity will take us all
Tomorrow dips away
This moment will not fade
This moment's where I'll stay
This love is mine today
I WISH FOR YOU
(Carl Wilson/Robert White Johnson/Phil Galdston; Murray Gage(ASCAP)/Radioquest Music Publishing (BMI)/Kazzoom Music,Inc-Famous Music(ASCAP)
Days when the sun is so clear and bright
A dream thats as real as the stars in the night
I wish for you, always
A heart that can heal when you love in vain
A friend who can hold you through all of the pain
I wish you hope through your share of tears
I wish you peace all your living years
When the moon is high
I wish you were here
The wisdom to trust in somebody else
The strength to believe most of all in yourself
I wish for you, always
Wish you hope through your share of tears
I wish you peace all your living years
When the moon is high
I wish you were here
Someone to stay with you wrong or right
Someone to love every breath of your life
I wish for you, always
I wish for you, always
RUN DON'T WALK
(Carl Wilson/Phil Galdston; Murray Gage(ASCAP)/Kazzoom Music,Inc. (ASCAP)
There is a light filling the dark
That shines across your pillow and pierces my heart
Pick up the phone holding you tight
But I don't know your number that'll bring you home tonight
You say you're coming
But I need something more than talk
So if you're coming
Run don't walk
Run don't walk
Run don't walk
Run don't walk
Run don't walk
Look at the sun alone in the sky
I know it shines upon you across the lonely miles
But when it is gone the night is so cold
The light across your pillow is nothing I can hold
You say you're coming
But I need something more than talk
So if you're coming
Run don't walk
Don't keep me wondering
Give me something more than talk
And if you're coming
Run don't walk
Run don't walk
Run don't walk
Run don't walk away
Don't walk away
Run don't walk
Run don't walk
Run don't walk away
Don't walk away
Now you say you're coming
But I need something more than talk
So if you're coming
Run don't walk
Don't keep me wondering
Give me something more than talk
And if you're coming
Run don't walk
You say you say
Give me something
And if you're coming
Run don't walk
Run don't walk
Run don't walk
Run don't walk
Run don't walk
Run don't walk
Run don't walk
Run don't walk
Run don't walk
Run don't walk
Run don't walk
Run don't walk
THEY'RE ONLY WORDS
(Carl Wilson/Phil Galdston; Murray Gage(ASCAP)/Kazzoom Music,Inc. (ASCAP)
The promises I made
When I was young, unafraid
I hurt so many hearts
And even my own could not escape
It comes to me now
I've seen (oh yeah), I've heard (I've heard)
And now I've finally learned
They're only words
They're only words
I've learned
I've pledged
I've burned
I've burned
And now the world has turned
They're only words
They're only words
Unless they're true
And when I took your hand
I thought we found wonderland
I wanted to be brave, oh I changed the world
But it's me who changed
It comes to me now
I've seen (oh yeah), I've heard (I've heard)
And now I've finally learned
They're only words
They're only words
I've learned
I've pledged
I've burned
I've burned
And now the world has turned
They're only words
They're only words
Unless they're true
They're only words (they're only words)
Unless they're true (unless they're true)
All these words
Show me once again
That lonely ends where love begins
You don't have to speak
Cos' its your eyes that I believe
I do believe
I've seen, I've heard (I've heard)
And now I've finally learned
They're only words
They're only words
I've learned
I've pledged
I've burned
And now
And now the world has turned
World has turned
They're only words
I've seen (oh yeah), I've heard (I've heard)
And now I've finally learned (I've learned)
They're only words
Unless they're true
LIKE A BROTHER
(Carl Wilson/Phil Galdston; Murray Gage(ASCAP)/Kazzoom Music,Inc. (ASCAP)
One wild childhood scheme
One impossible plan
A summer song, a lifetime long
A dream we built in the soft sand
The tide rolls in
Wait for your wave
There'll be another
And we will sing
I love you still like a brother
A voice soars to the night
And a million hearts take flight
The crowd still roars, the cheers are yours
But you're not there in the spotlight
The tide rolls in
Wait for your wave
There'll be another
And we will sing
I love you still like a brother
Til the beat begins
Til the voices ring
I will wait til then
Like a brother
The tide rolls in
Wait for your wave
There'll be another
And we will sing
I love you still like a brother
