Clouds
Different shapes and sizes
Hiding the horizon

Clouds
In the distance
Coming to change my plans
All my dreams will melt like sand

Clouds
The moment that you say good-bye
They're gonna rush right to the sky

Whoa...
Baby, baby, please don't go

It's gonna rain
It's gonna rain
It's gonna rain down tears
Of heartaches and fears

It's gonna rain
It's gonna rain
I know for sure
'Cause you don't reach for me no more

It's gonna rain
It's gonna rain
There in the distance
Is that number one pain

Clouds
Thunder is the warning
So dark and so alarming

Clouds
Go away, go away
Go, don't take away my sunny days

Clouds
Leave me be
Getting so dark out
I just can't see

Night's gonna fall
Letting the stars shine through and through
Time on the wall
Bringing me closer to the
One I want
I can't wait no more, no, no

Lost like a child
Even my knees are shaking
Caught for a while
Under a wave that's breaking
Over me
In his arms I float

When he looks at me this way
I know what he'll say

[Chorus:]
Get ready, get set
You ain't seen nothing yet
All day, all night
Here's something you can't forget
Get ready, get set
You ain't seen nothing yet
All day, all night
Here's something you can't forget

I could try
Imagining something better than
You and I
Making sweet love together
Taking me much farther than before
When he looks at me this way
I know just what he'll say

Ooh Ooh
When he looks at me this way
I know just what he'll say

Na na na na
Na na na na

Just as sure as I live
I will love you alone
You belong in my arms
You belong in my home
I don't expect you to be
Someone else that you're not
All I expect you to give
Is all that you've got, so

[Chorus:]
Move me no mountain
Turn me no tide
Swim me no ocean
Long, deep and wide
Just say you love me, baby
Long, strong and true
But move me no mountain
To prove that you do
But move me no mountain
To prove that you do

Fill my life with your love
You're my bread, you're my wine
Fill my life with your love
And I'll fill yours with mine
You'll never hear me cry
Tears of regret
It's fine with me if all I see
Is all I get
Oh

Just say you love me, baby
Just love me, baby
Long, strong and true

Move me no mountain
Turn me no tide
Swim me no ocean
Long, deep and wide
Just love me, baby
Long, strong and true
Move me no mountain
Turn me no tide
Swim me no ocean
Long, deep and wide

Just love me, baby
Say that you do
Just love me, baby...

You, you carry your dreams in your eyes
And if someone hurts you, you cry
And you, you live on a cloud in the sky
And wish on the stars shooting by

Don't let the little woes of life harm me
Let the joy in the life your lead
Let it charm you
Let it charm you

[Chorus:]
Nothing's gonna take you away
Nothing's gonna break your heart
Nothing's gonna take you away
Nothing's gonna break your heart

You, you go barefootin' when there are showers
You like to listen to coltrane for hours
And you're gonna need smeone standing by
And on me you can always rely

At the gypsy's eye
When the moon is high
And the mood is right for dancing, romancing

While Michael Wails
In his baggy tails
Makes it all seem so enhancing for dancing

[Chorus:]
Oh you're so naughty
Oh with your body
Oh you're so naughty
I wanna get naughty with you
If you want me to

All those fools out there
Could they be aware
I just need someone to come home to
But you are so rare, I don't even care
'Cause I got you to roam with

Could I be dreamin'
Am I with you
My heart is screamin'
Could this be true
Let's keep it goin'
Our love is rare
Let's keep it growin'
We're almost there

You know our love is driftin'
We have fallen from its grace
We've got to face the situation
Put things in their place

You're still the man
You know just where you stand
But the way you felt for me is gone
There's no more truth to your song

[Chorus:]
But I've got so much love for you
It's too much love
So much love for you
It's too much love
So much love for you
It's too much love
And I just don't want to throw it away

I've got to sacrifice my feelings
To make you find your own
I think it's time to end it
You might be better off alone

Oh, you're still the man
You know just where you stand
But the way you felt for me is gone
There's no more truth to your song

(There's something you've got to know)
When it's over, it's over
If it's done, then, baby, it's done
But there's nowhere to go
If we leave it all behind

Too much love
Too much love
Too much love...

Ooh ooh
You're all alone
Well, so am I
We could dance all night
Are you willing to try
All night's all right
If you're in no hurry - well
Neither am I
Do you like to boogie
Well just stop on by
All night's all right
All night's all right

Ooh ooh
Mama's away
Daddy too
Me and you all alone
With nothing to do
All night's all right
We're taking it slow
We're taking it fast
Do you like tomorrow
Make it last
All night's all right
All night's all right

All night's all right
All night's all right
All night's all right

Any little spark will make a fire
Any little fib will make a liar
I'll tell you more if you enquire
About the things that I desire

'Cause when you open wide
The inevitable steps inside
Take it in stride
'Cause nobody can do
Like you did
What you did
Like you did

Been so long, I can't see straight
No, no fun to anticipate
Give it on up, don't make me wait
Wait too long, 't'will be too late

Listen real close, 'cause I can't lie
It's difficult to satisfy
These feelings I just can't deny
With time they'll just intensify

A faded photograph I mailed to you
With feelings I don't want to face
And a long song of surrender in blue
I remember when you took my breath away

[Chorus:]
Chanson papillon, we were very young
Like butterflies, like hot butterfly
Chanson papillon, we had just begun
We let it slide on by
We didn't realize

All our memories are burning in time
Like a bittersweet perfume
Can you tell me how a love that's so fine
Could have climaxed in a single afternoon

Gone are the days of instant romance
And the nights of slow goodbyes
That was a time of life when foxy was the dance
But then you got wise to all my lies

[Chorus]

Chanson papillon, chanson
Chanson papillon, chanson
Chanson papillon, chanson
Chanson papillon, chanson

Our love
Our love's in danger
If you don't hurry home
I might
Give it to a stranger

I never wanted you to go
I told you many times before
I need your loving day to day
I get so tired when you're far away
You got me staring at the ceiling
Better come quick
You can't make it too soon

I never want to do you wrong
But you been gone away so long
I don't know what you expect of me
That's what I'm trying so hard to be
Don't force me into another's arms
Our love
Our love
Our love

Get the picture, I'm here all alone
Ain't you worried
About your happy home
What I'm thinking
Makes me feels ashamed
Tell me who's to blame

Tell me what to do about the
Strangers coming from everywhere
Strangers calling my name
Just don't know what to do about it
