        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
