Well I stood by the streetlight
And I whispered your name
To the circle of darkness again
In the mercury night
The snow fell like cocaine
But all I want for Christmas is you
I'd been out with some go
Well, September comes around like an old familiar
friend
So I take off to Central Park to watch those
falling leaves again
And in the arbors of Strawberry Fields, in a
night as bright as day
I look up a
Hear a message on my radio
I get home I got nowhere to go
Think about ya day and night
I'll be waiting so when it feels right
Anytime you want at all
Anytime
Anytime you want just call
Heartbeat f
I was so lonely until I met you
Told myself I'd get by without love
Drownin' my sorrows
Avoiding tomorrows
Kind of felt that I just had enough
You light up my face with your jokes and your
smiles

She's got a certain style
In everything she does
She's someone to know
Just because
Yeah
Just because
Yeah
Ooh yeah yeah yeah
Come on
Be my little baby tonight
She's seen everywhere

You always give me something
To help me understand
Turn those tracks around me one more time
But all you give is killing me
I can't turn around
I'm gettin' loaded on a darker side of town
I don't
I wait for sundown on the fire escape
And watch the passing cars downstairs
I'm high above Korean groceries
A sublet castle in the air
It's down to cigarettes and rosaries
Christ, I wish someone woul
In these days of wild roses
I held a compass in my hand
I had three wishes for a future
That I won't need to understand
And I've got holly green on blood red
Manhattan Christmas on my arm
My soul ain
You spin around and turn on me
Stop me in my crash
You wanna be somebody else
Say you won't be back
Your bourgeois friends call you dear
Deal you like a card
Your eyes out for the diamonds now
E
You quit the band and got a job
Decided to take a wife
Then you stood still
And I went on
And almost lost my life
No I don't wanna be in your shoes
And I don't wanna read local news
And though I k
Well the first time that I saw ya
You looked down and out
And I had my doubts
About you
But baby since I've come to know ya
I ain't got no doubts
What it's about
Me and baby
We're going out tonight
In this world of right and wrong
The hardest part is beginning
By the time you find
where you belong
You're either losing or winning
Well I don't know how
But people seem to know
When you want some
In my life I've seen such things
That I wish I had not seen
But through your eyes
I can let it go
When you're lying here with me
Sunshine knocking on my window
Couldn't wake me from this dream
(we
All I ever wanted was to get away
And spend some time alone
To a big house in the country
To a private yacht with Wall St. on the phone
And in a million dollar paradise
Maybe I could sing a better son
Love is a rose to me
Growin' desperate and I'm desperately
Reliving memories
For love is a rose
And when you look at me
There's no one that I would rather see
You make me feel complete
For love is
Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here
And you're miles away
And I'm wondering why you left
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
There's something in you... child
A mystery that I can't define
But it blows my mind
I'm walking on air... with you
A kite in the sky
Without a care
It's something we share
And all of these clues
L
I can't take you to the movies
And I can't tell the real thing
From a fake
But I'm curled up tight
In your Chevrolet
And baby you got wow
You've got what it takes
You've got no brakes
I can't take
Come on baby don't you wanna go
I could take you there
You could get what you want in the south
You could let down your hair
I said do you don't you will you won't you
Baby won't you please let me kno
If I fall
Right out of sleep
Deepsea diving in the dark
With those creatures of the deep
Broken skis
Over silent snow
As the ground comes up to meet me
Is it then you let me go
Here we go
To the
You say there's nothing wrong
With the lessons that your learning
The school of the streets
You'll kick next year
Skateboarding Hollywood and Vine
Yeah
You're a spaced out face in a crowd
You're 17
I will be there for you
For you are mine
And I'll take care of you
Every single time
I'll be watching over you
When the world seems bitter cold
When you're closer to the edge
And you're feeling so a
Thinking about old times
Thinking about the things we said
All the worthless games and lies
I'm looking at myself
And the mirror's unkind
You're inside my mind
And you're outside my eyes
And I'm loo
We've seen a lifetime since we met
Through good and bad
And things we won't forget
Forgotten promises and broken vows
But we always made it through somehow
But the key to you is broken in the lock
An
Missin' at school
Bustin' the rules
Hates everything in sight
Needs some new shoes
Dad's on the booze
She's never there
Far away kid
All on his own
Can't tell the wrong from right
Thin as a rake
Inside these moments waiting
Beneath the windows of
The house of Love
Like Romeo to Juliet above
The lights out on the freeway
They lead me back to you
For always and forever now
I'll be with you
C
Sour milk in the saucer
And the cat won't come home
And sometimes New York City
Feels like burnin' Rome
I'm lost and I'm crazy
Too much time on my own
I'd give anything to find a heart
That can't b
Sweet 17 in summertime
Drunk on elderberry wine
Laughing in the cornfields
And taking our sweet time
The world was ours together
And all the things we had
Were cast up in the future baby
How could t
Face of an Angel, pretty eyes that shine
I lie awake at night wishin' you were mine
I'm standing here holding the biggest heartache in
town
Whenever you come around
I get a weak in the knees
And I los
She's just a working girl from Baltimore
She'll choose you
She's been there
She's been there and back again
It's in and out
It's up it's down
It's a mercenary
And you get what you need
When you w
Give your love away
It's not the way you seem
Cause someone's just come in your life
And broken up your dreams
Look into my eyes and tell me what you see
And if my eyes are empty
Well that's the way
