Sunrise, sunrise
Looks like morning in your eyes
But the clock's held 9:15 for hours
Sunrise, sunrise
Couldn't tempt us if it tried
'Cause the afternoon's already come and gone
And I say hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
Do you?
Surprise, surprise
Couldn't find it in your eyes
But I'm sure it's written all over my face
Surprise, surprise
Never something I could hide
When I see we made it through another day
And I say hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
Do you?
And now the night
Will throw its cover down
mmmmm, on me again
Ooooh, and if I'm right
It's the only way to bring me back
hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
Do you?
hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
hooooo, oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
Do you?

What am I to you
Tell me darling true
To me you are the sea
Fast as you can be
And deep the shade of blue
When you're feeling low
To whom else do you go
See I cry if you hurt
I'd give you my last shirt
Because I love you so
If my sky should fall
Would you even call
Opened up my heart
I never want to part
I'm giving you the ball
When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
I love you when you're blue
Tell me darlin' true
What am I to you
Yeah well if my sky should fall
Would you even call
Opened up my heart
Never wanna part
I'm giving you the ball
When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
Could you find a love in me
Could you carve me in a tree
Don't fill my heart with lies
I will you love when you're blue
Tell me darlin' true
What am I to you
What am I to you
What am I to you
. . .

What did you say
I know I saw you saying it
My ears won't stop ringing
Long enough to hear
Those sweet words
What did you say
And now the day
The hour hand has spun
Before the night is done
I just have to hear
Those sweet words
Spoken like a melody
All your love
Is a lost balloon
Rising up through the afternoon
'Til it could fit on the head of a pin
Come on in
Did you have a hard time sleeping
'Cause a heavy moon was keeping you awake
And all I know is I'm just glad to see you again
See my love
Like a lost balloon
Rising up through the afternoon
And then you appear
What did you say
I know I saw you saying it
My ears won't stop ringing
Long enough to hear
Those sweet words
And your simple melody
I just have to hear
Your sweet words
Spoken like a melody
I just wanna hear
Those sweet words
. . .

Round and round carousel
He's got you under its spell
Moving so fast going no where
Up and down Ferris wheel
Tell me how does it feel
To be so high
Looking down here
Is it lonely, lonely, lonely
Did the clown make you smile
He was only your fool for a while
But now he's come back home
And left you wandering there
Is it lonely, lonely, lonely

I can't stop myself from callin'
Callin' out your name
I can't stop myself from fallin'
Fallin' back again
In the mornin'
Baby in the afternoon
Dark like the shady corners
Inside a violin
Hot like to burn my lips
I know I can't win
In the mornin'
Baby in the afternoon
I tried to quit you but I'm too weak
Wakin' up without you I can hardly speak at all
My girlfriend tried to help me
To get you off my mind
She tried a little tea and sympathy
To get me to unwind
In the mornin'
Baby in the afternoon
Funny how my favorite shirt
Smells more like you than me
Bitter traces left behind
Stains no one can see
In the mornin'
Baby in the afternoon
You're gonna put me in an early grave
I know I'm your slave whenever you call
I can't stop myself from callin'
Callin' out your name
I can't stop myself from fallin'
Fallin' back again
Fallin' back again
Fallin' back again
Fallin' back again
Fallin' back again
. . .

Your eyes seek conclusion in all this confusion of mine
Though you and I both know it's only the warm glow of wine
That's got you to feeling this way, but I don't care,
I want you to stay
and hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today
Children are dancin', the gamblers are chancin' their all
The window's accusing the door of abusing the wall
But who cares what the night watchmen say
The stage has been set for the play
Hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today
The moon's come and gone but a few stars hang on on to the sky
The wind's runnin' free but it ain't up to me ask why
The poets are demanding their pay
They've left me with nothin' to say
'cept hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today
Just hold me and tell me that you'll be here to love me today

There's a big old hole
Goes right through the sole
Of this old shoe
And the water on the ground ain't got no places it's fine
So its only got one thing left to do
Just creep on in
Creep on in
Creep on in
And once it has begun it won't stop until it's done
Sneakin' in
There's a silver moon
Came a little too soon
Oh for me to bear
It shines brightly on my bed and the shadow's over head
Won't let me sleep as long as it's there
Just creep on in
Creep on in
Creep on in
And once it has begun won't stop until it's done
Sneakin' in
Creep on in
Creep on in
And once it has begun won't stop until it's done
Sneakin' in
There's a big old hole
Goes right through my soul
Oh that ain't nothin' new
So as long as you're around
I got no place else you've found
There's only one thing left for you to do
I just creep on in
Creep on in
Creep on in
And once you have begun don't stop until you're done
Sneakin' in
And once it has begun it won't stop until it's done
Sneakin' in
And once it has begun it won't stop until it's done
Sneakin' in
Sneakin' in
Sneakin' in
Sneakin' in
Creepin' in
Sneakin' in
Sneakin' in
Sneakin' in
Sneakin' in
Sneakin' in
Creepin' in
You want to keep creepin' on in
Creep
Creepin' in

The current is strong from what I've heard
It'll wisk you down the stream
But there never seems to be much time
My toes just touched the water
My toes just touched the water
Daydreamed on the bank again
I was swimming with the fish
And I thought this time that it may be true
(But) My toes just touched the water
My toes just touched the water
My toes just touched the water
Walked a mile just to find the edge
Some place low enough to step right in
Now I'm here and I can't begin - to move
Walked a mile just to find the edge
Some place low enough to step right in
Now I'm here and I can't begin - to move
The spoiled sun up over there
It always has to have its way
And I know that the river's there to shelter me
My toes just touched the water
My toes just touched the water
. . .

Went out on a limb, gone too far
I broke down at the side of the road
Stranded out the outskirts and the sun's creepin' up
Babies in the backseat still fast asleep
Dreamin' of better days
I don't want to call you but you're all I have to turn to
What do you say when it's all gone away
Baby I didn't mean to hurt you
True spoken whispers will tear you apart
No matter how hard you resist it
It never rains when you want it to
You humble me low
You humble me low
I'm on my knees empty
You humble me low
You humble me low
So please, please, please forgive me
Baby Theresa she's got your eyes
I see you all the time
When she asks about her daddy
I never know what to say
Heard you kick the bottle and you helped to build the church
And carry an honest wage
Is it true you have somebody keepin' you company
What do you say when it's all gone away
Baby I didn't mean to hurt you
True spoken whispers will tear you apart
No matter how hard you resist it
It never rains when you want it to
You humble me low
You humble me low
I'm on my knees empty
You humble me low
You humble me low
So please, please forgive me
You humble me
. . .

Underground I'm waiting
Just below the crowded avenue
Watching red lights fading out of you
Oh the air feels heavy
Everything just passes by
And I think that I'm a little shy
Meet me outside above ground
I'll see you on your way
I'll be with you someday, someday
Drawing lines above my head
But the fan keeps spinning over me
Just my toughs to keep me company
Now I know I'm ready
For the night into a glass
And I sip it slow to make it last
Meet me outside above ground
I'll see you on your way
I'll be with you someday, someday
Meet me outside above ground
I'll see you on your way
I'll be with you someday
I'll be with you someday
I'll be with you someday
I'll be with you someday

Well I stumbled in the darkness
I'm lost and alone
Though I said I'd go before us
And show the way back home
There a light up ahead
I can't hold onto her arm
Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home
Money's just something you throw
Off the back of a train
Got a handful of lightening
A hat full of rain
And I know that I said
I'd never do it again
And I love you pretty baby but I always take the long way home
I put food on the table
And roof overhead
But I'd trade it all tomorrow
For The highway instead
Watch your back if I should tell you
Loves the only thing I've ever known
One thing for sure pretty baby I always take the long way home
You know I love you baby
More than the whole wide world
You are my woman
I know you are my pearl
Let's go out past the party lights
We can finally be alone
Come with me and we can take the long way home
Come with me, together we can take the long way home
Come with me, together we can take the long way home
. . .

Prettiest thing
I ever did see
Was lightening from the top of a cloud
Moving through the dark million miles an hour
With somewhere to be
So why does it seem
Like a picture
Is hangin' up on someone else's wall
Lately I just haven't been myself at all
Heavy on my mind
And I ‘m dreamin' again
Like I've always been
Way down low
I still know
That the prettiest thing
I ever did see
Was dusty as the handle on the door
Rusty as a nail stuck in the ol' pine floor
Looks like home to me
Now I'm dreamin' again
Like I've always been
Way down low
Thinkin' of the prettiest thing
Dreamin'
Dreamin'
. . .

As I sit and watch the snow fallin' down
I don't miss you at all
I hear children playin', laughin' so loud
I don't think of your smile
So if you never come to me
You'll stay a distant memory
Out my window, I see lights going dark
Your dark eyes don't haunt me
And then I wonder who I am
Without the warm touch of your hand
And then I wonder who I am
Without the warm touch of your hand
As I sit and watch the snow fallin' down
I don't miss you at all
I don't miss you at all
I don't miss you at all
. . .

Through these sleepless nights
I cry for you
And wonder who
Is kissing you
Oh, these sleepless nights
Will break my heart in two.
Somehow through the days
I don't give in
I hide the tears
That wait within
Oh, but then through sleepless nights
I cry again.
Why did you go?
Why did you go?
Don't you know?
Don't you know?
I need you!
I keep hoping you'll
Come back to me
Oh, let it be
Please let it be
Oh, my love, please end
These sleepless nights for me.
Why did you go?
Why did you go?
Don't you know?
Don't you know?
I need you!
I keep hoping you'll
Come back to me
Oh, let it be
Please let it be
Oh, my love, please end
These sleepless nights for me.
My love, please end these sleepless nights for me

I want to find out where the moon goes
When it leaves the western sky
And night dissolves again 'til morning
Azure turns to gold
Azure turns to gold
I'm gonna sleep with one eye open
I'm gonna keep the shades half drawn
Nearly silent...dressed in shadows
Lines and colors fall
Lines and colors fall
I'm gonna watch her through my window
Just as I watched you before
A smile knows, but just won't tell me
I just watch her go
I just watch her go
Now I learned just where the moon goes
When it leaves the western sky
Night dissolves again 'til morning
The moon is in your eyes
The moon is in your eyes
The moon is in your eyes
The moon is in your eyes
. . .

Written by George Wyle
I turned your picture to the wall
I don't wanna see you anymore
You once were nice to me
Sugar and spice to me
Now you're as salty as you can be
We had some good times, I recall
We don't ever have them anymore
Now you just lie to me
Then say goodbye to me
I can't believe this is happening to me
When I call you on the phone
You are never there
And I sit home all alone
You don't even care
So I'll just turn your picture to the wall
I ain't gonna see you anymore
It's all a memory
Now it can never be
I'll never see you at all
'Cause I will just turn your picture to the wall
