Whenever I’m weary
And you’re nowhere near me
I need you to be close to me
When nothin’ is workin’
Shadows are lurkin’
Darlin’ I need you with me
Whenever I’m lonely
I think of you only
Long for the day you can see
When nothin’ is workin’
Shadows are lurkin’
Darlin’ I need you with me
You banish the blue days
Make me feel OK
Darlin I need you to see
You banish the blue days
Do it your own way
Darlin’ I need you with me
Whenever you’re lonely
Think of me only
Don’t hesitate call on me
When nothin’ is workin’
Shadows are lurkin’
Don’t turn away, turn to me
I’ll banish your blue days
Make you feel OK
Darlin’ what you need is me
To banish your blue days
I’ll do it my way, Don’t turn away, turn to me

When we were young
We had it all
We had each other till we heard our freedom call
And even though
I let you go
Darlin’ it hurt me than you will know
So here I stand
Entirely free
Only my freedom it don’t mean a thing to me
I’d rather be
Entirely yours
Years have gone by and still my love for you endures
So long ago
You went away
I was to wait for you and you’d be back some day
What can I do?
What can I say?
Your empty promises they seem so far away
All our ideas
Got in the way
We got our freedom but we had a price to pay
Life has moved on
Don’t say I’m wrong
Don’t ever blame me that I chose to move along

How can we have come to this
My heart was wide open
Our love meant so much to me
Now it’s badly broken
Such love only comes around
Once in every lifetime
So hard to have you decide
It was not the right time
What can I do to take your pain away?
Pain that’s keepin’ you back from me
They say that my love will cease
They say I’ll recover
Let me hold you one more time
Make it last forever
What can I do to take your pain away
Pain that’s keepin’ you back from me
Let me hold you, my darlin’ one more time
Try and make the moment last forever
When will such love ever cease?
When will I recover?
That can only be the day
Hell is freezin’ over
What can I do to take your pain away
Pain that’s keepin’ you back from me
Let me hold you, my darlin one more time
Try and make the moment last forever
What can I do to take your pain away
Pain that’s keepin’ you back from me
Let me hold you my darlin’ one more time
Try and make the moment last forever.

My own little one
I am watching over you
I can hear the things
That they keep telling you
I am here little one
Let me take you by the hand
Let me tell you what I can see
I can see you’re beautiful
God has made you perfect
Never you believe them when they say
You are any less
Any time you need me
Listen to your heart
And you know I’m watching over you
Angel of my heart
My own little one
You have stole my heart away
Wish I had more time
For the things I would say
But I’m here little one
Let me take you by the hand
Let me tell you what I can see
I can see you’re beautiful
God has made you perfect
Never you believe them when they say
You are any less
Any time you need me
Listen to your heart
And you know I’m watching over you
Angel of my heart

Everything about you
Causes me to doubt you
How is it you draw me to be near you?
Only you can sell me
Anything you tell me
Only you can turn the tide completely
I admit that you’ve allured me
In a very powerful way
Gotta take it easy till the day that I can say
You are mine
I can see that I’ll be
Any way you want me
You and I are one as far as I see
Each and every season
Has to have a reason
Maybe we’re just marching to our own drum
I admit that you’ve allured me
In a very powerful way
Gotta take it easy till the day that I can say
Gotta take it easy till the day that I can say
You are mine
Everything about you
Causes me to doubt you
How is it you draw me to be near you (to be near you)
Only you can sell me
Anything you tell me
Only you can turn the tide completely(so completely)
I admit that you’ve allured me
In a very powerful way
Gotta take it easy till the day that I can say
Gotta take it easy till the day that I can say
You are mine

The first time I met you
I knew we were meant to be
I still can’t remember
Why I let you go
I never could tell you
The way that I longed for you
To make your home back to me
Through wind and snow
Macushla my darling
My darlin’ Macushla
I wish I had known how
To ask you to stay
Today when I saw you
Again after all these years
I tried to remember
Why you walked away
You gave me your secrets
They still mean so much to me
I wish I had known how to
Ask you to stay
Macushla my darling
My darlin’ Macushla
I wish I had known how
To ask you to stay
Still nothing has changed in
Those eyes that I know so well
And memories come rushing
They’re locked deep inside
We both made our choices
We both turned away from it
It’s too late to win back
The love we denied
Macushla my darling
My darlin’ Macushla
I wish I had known how
To ask you to stay
Macushla my darling
My darlin’ Macushla
I wish I had known how
To ask you to stay

Something between us was magic
You gave me my perfect day
How come it ended up tragic
Good time so far away
Try to see clearly my darlin’
See why it ended this way
I tried to talk to you darlin’
I said what I had to say
One thing we should have agreed on
Some places magic can’t go
Magic defeated us darlin’
Why I don’t know
Too close for comfort my darlin’
I gotta try and let go
Gotta move on now my darlin’
Wishin’ never made it so .........
Something between us was magic
You gave me my perfect day
How come it ended up tragic
Sweet dreamin’ slipped away
One thing we should have agreed on
Some places magic can’t go
Magic defeated us darlin’
Why I don’t know
Something between us was magic
Something between us was magic

Lone swinging child
I stop a moment watching
As you swing high and free
And through your eyes I see the world
As it once seemed to me
Beautiful child
You watch the world go by you
And you see only good
And innocently ask
When things don’t make sense to you
Innocent child
With eyes so full of wonder
A creation so pure
A little soul untainted
May your innocence endure
Let us hold on to you
And to this precious moment
As you swing high and free
I bless the hope you give me
And the love you awaken
Somewhere deep inside me
Precious child will you hold on to me
Beautiful child
You watch the world go by you
And you see only good
And innocently ask
When things don’t make sense to you
Let us hold on to you
And to this precious moment
As you swing high and free
I bless the hope you give me
And the love you awaken
Somewhere deep inside me
Precious child will you hold on to me
Lone swinging child
I stop a moment watching
As you swing high and free
And through your eyes I see the world
As it once seemed to me

The time has come
For what has to be
Our last embrace
They’re callin’ to me
The things that last
No money can buy
Our time has passed
And so hush-a-bye
So drink to me only
My beautiful friend
I’ll cherish your place in
My heart to the end
The winds of change
Destroy every plan
And time and tide
They wait for no man.
The things that last
No money can buy
Our time has passed
And so hush-a-bye
So drink to me only
My beautiful friend
I’ll cherish your place in
My heart to the end
The time has come
For what has to be
Our last embrace
They’re callin’ to me
The things that last
No money can buy
Our time has passed
And so hush-a-bye
So drink to me only
My beautiful friend
I’ll cherish your place in
My heart to the end
So drink to me only
My beautiful friend
I’ll cherish your place in
My heart to the end

Baby, I’ve no faith what you’re telling me
I won’t even try to wear a mask
Maybe you just need to face reality
I am out of love with you at last
In your heart you know that what I say is true
We had planned to sing a different song
I don’t know what more I could have done for you
Now you say you see that I was wrong
All along
Surely you can tell
It’s not going well
Nothing you can say
Will make it OK
I don’t take your promise as a guarantee
Every line designed to make me stay
I know there are things you’re still not telling me
How can I believe a word you say
One more day?
Surely you can tell
It’s not going well
Nothing you can say
Will make it OK
Surely you can hear I keep on saying No
And now it’s my time to go
I must go
Surely you can tell
It’s not going well
Nothing you can say
Will make it OK
Surely you can hear I keep on saying No
And now it’s my time to go
I must go

I don’t understand
How we went so wrong
We both tried our hardest, my love
I need to move on,
Lingered for too long
Don’t keep holding on now my love
I’m sorry. It’s over
I never meant to hurt you
Believe me, I’m sorry my love
I never meant to break your heart
Seems so long ago
Now our time is gone
Good times to remember my love
I need to move on,
Lingered for too long
Don’t keep holding on now my love
I’m sorry. It’s over
I never meant to hurt you
Believe me, I’m sorry my love
I never meant to break your heart
Somehow we went wrong
Now our time is gone
Nothing is the same now my love
I need to move on,
Lingered for too long
Don’t keep holding on now my love
I’m sorry. It’s over
I never meant to hurt you
Believe me, I’m sorry my love
I never meant to break your heart

Something’s callin’- I can tell
Even though you hide it well
But you’ve no need for concern
I’ll be here when you return
Nothin’ more that I can say
We survived, those were the days
Blow ye winds over the sea
Bring my love back home to me
We have still so much to learn
We get back just what we earn
When the moon shines on the lake
I’ll be there make no mistake
It was all so long ago
When I played Sing As You Go
I awoke later to see
You were still waitin’ for me
Nothin’ more that I can say
We survived, those were the days
Blow ye winds over the sea
Bring my love back home to me
We have still so much to learn
We get back just what we earn
When the moon shines on the lake
I’ll be there make no mistake
