Flowing Rivers by Andy Gibb (p) 1977
I Just Want To Be Your Everything
For so long
You and me been finding each other for so long
And the feeling that I feel for you is more then strong , girl
Take it from me
If you give a little more then you're asking for
your love will turn the key
Darling mine
I would wait forever for those lips of wine
Build my world around you , darling
This love will shine girl
Watch it and see
If you give a little more then you're asking for
your love will turn the key
I , I just want to be your ev'rything
Open up the heaven in your heart and let me be
the things you are to me and not some puppet on a string
Oh , if I stay here without you , darling , I will die
I want you laying in the love I have to bring
I'd do anything to be your ev'rything
Darling for so long
You and me been finding each other for so long
And the feeling that I feel for you is more then strong girl
Take it from me
If you give a little more then you're asking for
your love will turn the key
I , I just want to be your ev'rything
Open up the heaven in your heart and let me be
the things you are to me and not some puppet on a string
Oh, if I stay here without you , darling , I will die
I want you laying in the love I have to bring
I'd do anything to be your ev'rything
repeat last verse and fade out
Words and music make a song for our hearts to sing along
Like a choir within the air , there'll be music ev'rywhere
A bitter tear across your cheek
A smile from you is all I need
We'll give them cause to breathe the air
There'll be lovers ev'rywhere
I'll be your singer and your song
for all the love you've brought along
I'll be your day , I'll be your night
I'll see that ev'rything's all right
I'll turn the ocean into sand
Like my heart at your command
I'll make the raindrops turn to snow
And then ev'ryone will know that we're in love
Yeah, yeah , yeah
And when the morning brings it's light
And Mister Moonlight says goodbye
My hand is shaking when you smile
You make me feel just like a child
My mind is searching for a way
so that you won't have to say
You've got to go and can't come back
But I can't think you'd make me sad
I'll be your singer and your song
for all the love you've brought along
I'll be your day , I'll be your night
I'll see that ev'rything's all right
I'll turn the ocean into sand
Like my heart at your command
I'll make the raindrops turn to snow
And then ev'ryone will know that we're in love
(take away the pain in me)
I'll be your singer and your song
(soon you'll see a change in me)
for all the love you've brought along
(what's the point of going on)
I'll be your day , I'll be your night
(the story ends, the feelings gone)
I'll see that ev'rything's all right
I'll turn the ocean into sand
Like my heart at your command
I'll make the raindrops turn to snow
And then ev'ryone will know that we're in love
(repeat last verse and fade out)
Dance To The Light Of The Morning
I feel at home in the country
And it makes me feel like I'm happy
And my hands touch the sky
And I feel more alive then I've ever know
Oh yeah
But you understand what I'm feeling
And it makes me feel like we're learning
And you've nothing to hide
'cause you've shown it inside
And it says so much , it does
But that's not me
I'm not that man
I live for my world
And I do all I can , come what may
With the night on our side we can dance to the light of the morning
With a sweet country song just to help things along , oh baby
We'll run hot and run cold till the night grows old
And we're back in the dawn again
You're the light of my life , I rely on
And you're brighter than stars that I cry on
And you're closer to me than I think you should be
But I can't let go
But that's not me
I'm not that man
I live for my world
And I do all I can , come what may
With the night on our side we can dance to the light of the morning
With a sweet country song just to help things along , oh baby
We'll run hot and run cold till the night grows old
And we're back in the dawn again
Whisper of the wind's my only friend
With the night on our side we can dance to the light of the morning
With a sweet country song just to help things along , oh baby
With the night on our side we can dance to the light of the morning
With a sweet country song just to help things along , oh baby
With the night on our side we can dance to the light of the morning
With a sweet country song just o help things along , oh baby
(repeat last verse and fade out)
Must be a thousand million times I've seen your face in laughter
And ev'ry time meant something new to me
But being broke and living low
I sensed what you were after
And time has said ' get out before you bleed '
Oh , with every second glance , you killed my pride
And ev'ry second tear
You held my life in your hands
And you never knew of all the things you could do
If you wanted to
Too many looks in your eyes , breaking my heart
And I don't want to start fighting with words that somebody heard
Tell me what they really mean to you
Too many thoughts on your mind
And it's easy to see , you're thinking of me
And still you remain so perfectly sane
Too many looks in your eyes
I've often thought of things I'd do if I had money
But money's always been my dream to me
But ev'ry time I saw that face , those riches never mattered
To have you close was wealth enough for me
Imagination stopped , where life began
And I had always felt a little lost in your love with no way through
But you could pull me through if you wanted to
Too many looks in your eyes , breaking my heart
And I don't wanna start fighting with words that somebody heard
Tell me what they really mean to you
Too many thoughts on your mind
And it's easy to see , you're thinking of me
And still you remain so perfectly sane
Too many looks in your eyes
With every second glance , you killed my pride
And ev'ry second tear, you held my life in your hands
And you never knew of all the things you could do
If you wanted to
Too many looks in your eyes, breaking my heart
And I don't wanna start fighting with words that somebody heard
Tell me what they really mean to you
Too many thoughts on your mind
And it's easy to see , you're thinking of me
And still you remain so perfectly sane
Ah yeah
(repeat last verse and fade out)
Starlight , summer nights
Don't leave me here alone to die
Someone , somewhere cried
Oh Starlight , oh in my eyes
Too far away to see the lights
Drifters , drifting by
Now you've come back again
And I ain't over it yet
Please won't you walk with me
Talk with me
Starlight , yeah
Starlight , oh winter nights
The snow has come and love has gone
Now I'm feeling cold
Yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah
Starlight , oh in my eyes
Too far away to see the lights
And I'm growing so old
Now you've come back again
And I ain't over it yet
Please won't you walk with me
Talk with me
Starlight
Now you've come back again
And I ain't over it yet
Please won't you walk with me
Talk with me
Starlight
Love is higher then a mountain
Love is thicker than water
You are this dreamers only dream
Heaven's angel , devil's daughter
Say, my mind , should I go with her on silent nights
She'll drive me crazy in the end
And I should leave this paradise
But I can't leave her
while I need her more then she needs you
That's what I'm living for
Love is , higher than a mountain
Love is , thicker than water
You are this dreamers only dream
Heaven's angel , devil's daughter
(break)
Say my thought, should I find out she don't care at all
She'll leave me crying in the end
Wandering through the afterglow
But I can't leave her
While I need her more then she needs you
That's what I'm praying for
Love is , higher than a mountain
Love is , thicker than water
You are this dreamers only dream
Heaven's angel , devil's daughter
Love is , higher than a mountain
Love is , thicker than water
You are this dreamers only dream
Heaven's angel , devil's daughter
(break)
La ....
The stage is set another show must go on
The spotlight's burning down into my face
The drummer sits up high upon his rostrum
Guitarists play each other face to face
And when it's over , I'll stop and wonder
And never understand
'cause leaving this was never in my plans
And when I'm playing all I see is things you'll never find
Flowing rivers passing through my mind
Deceiving and receiving was my pastime
to every girl who liked my written lines
They'd think that any moment I'd be their guy
But crying never justified my lies , oh no
And next time 'round will be the same
They never understand that hurting them was never in my plans
My songs will slow like passing clouds
Something in each line
Flowing rivers passing through my mind
I've got to go , I've finished what I came for
Playing every city , state to state
Singing every town that learned to like me
Modest payments paid for what I ate
Ah, you're standing there , tears in your eyes
You once called me a man
And loving you was never in my plans
We'll go together , you and I , till we both find
Flowing rivers passing through my mind
We'll go together, you and I , till we both find
Flowing rivers passing through my mind
Well , I've come home for the winter
I got tired of all the summers down in Denver , Denver
I got tired of all the music
Brought me down and then I'd lose it
And I never really made it
Oh but that don't really matter
I been thinking about you baby
And I know you think I'm crazy
But the sun is in our hearts
And I'm hoping we can start it all again
Oh my love , don't let down
Let me love again
And if I cry , don't walk away
Please release my chains
Oh you lovely golden city
Tell my lady that she's pretty
And I love her , love her
But that music started playin'
I recall you started sayin'
that it's getting so much darker
Oh but that don't really matter
I been thinkin' about you baby
And I know you think I'm crazy
But the sun is in our hearts
And I'm hopin' we can start it all again
And when the evenin's over
And the sunrise feels so hard
I guess I'll stop crying then
Oh boy , oh boy ,oh boy
So here I stand with nothing
A stranger in the dark
My heart is left exposed to pain , oh boy
We'll I've come home for the winter
I got tired of all the summers down in Denver , Denver
I got tired of all the music
Brought me down and then I'd lose it
And I never really made it
Oh but that don't really matter
I been thinkin' about you baby
And I know you think I'm crazy
But the sun is in our hearts
And I'm hoping we can start it all again
I been thinkin' about you baby
And I know you think I'm crazy
But the sun is in our hearts
And I'm hoping we can start it all again
(repeat last verse and fade out)
Follow you most anywhere
I must take the strain
I don't know why I've been playing so many other games
Rang you up to ask your name
Guess I've blown my cool
Ev'ry day is heartbreak day acting like a fool
But let it be me , I ask you
Let me be free , to want you
Let it be me , I beg you
Give it to me
I don't know why I'm singing this song
Guess you been on my mind too long
Can't understand what's becoming of me
It's not working out like I thought it could be
Give me your hand and I'll show you the night
I'll let you see we can make it right
And when the night's over I'll make love to you
Only us , only me , only you
Said you've got a big debate
Can't make up your mind
All my dreams are crashing through
I'm not the waiting kind
I'd go home and it it out , waiting there for you
I'd be waiting all my life if I should wait for you
But let it be me , I ask you
Let me be free to want you
Let it be me , I beg you
Give it to me
I don't know why I'm singing this song
Guess you been on my mind too long
Can't understand what's becoming of me
It's not working out like I thought it could be
Give me your hand and I'll show you the night
I'll let you see we can make it right
And when the night's over , I'll make love to you
Only us , only me , only you
But let it be me
But let it be me , I ask you
Let me be free to want you
Let it be me , I beg you
Give it to me
(repeat last verse and fade out)
I've come home
I've been away too long
But you don't want me back again
And I tried , in the end
I can't say you made me very sad
The point of love is not to lie
Points denied , in the end , in the end
How can you tell me you don't want me
When I've done all I can to save the day
Suppose I'm in the way
In the end , in the end , in the end
You don't (don't) see sense , eyes never cry
Please take part of me , leave the rest to die
I can't say you made me very sad
The point of love is not to lie
Points denied , in the end , in the end
How can you tell me you don't want me
When I've done all I can to save the day
Suppose I'm in the way
In the end , in the end
How can you tell me you don't want me
When I've done all I can to save the day
Suppose I'm in the way
In the end , in the end , in the end
