The song is the center; the song is the key. If you don't have a good song you don't have anything by my value.
Tonight You're mine completely, You give your love so sweetly Tonight the light of love is in your eyes, But will you love me tomorrow?
I'd like to know that your love Is love I can be sure of, So tell me now and I won't ask again, Will you still love me tomorrow?
I feel the earth move under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down — tumbling down I feel my heart start to trembling Whenever you're around
You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face And show the world all the love in your heart The people gonna treat you better, You're gonna find, yes you will, That you're beautiful as you feel.
If there's any answer, maybe love can end the madness Maybe not, oh, but we can only try.
Way over yonder is a place I have seen In a garden of wisdom from some long ago dream.
Way over yonder, that's where I'm bound.
When you're down and troubled And you need some loving care And nothing, nothing is going right. Close your eyes and think of me And soon I will be there To brighten up even your darkest nights.
