I don’t want to go if you won’t be there Just want to stay under your wonderful care I wouldn’t want to go anywhere If I can’t have you  I don’t want to lay up in the night Wondering if everything will be alright Just want to be happy and never fight So I’ll always have you You play Ginger Rogers to my Fred Astaire You’re like a Ferris wheel at a country fair You light me up and you spin me around You really pick me up when I’m feeling down And all that I have, and all that is true, Oh it wouldn’t be there if I didn’t have you And I don’t want anything If I can’t have you. I don’t want to take another’s hand  Wouldn’t want all the treasures in the land No, fame and fortune would taste so bland If I didn’t have you I don’t want to make any more mistakes I don’t want to buy and sell any more fakes If I’m on the wrong path I’ll put on the brakes So I’ll always have you You play Ginger Rogers to my Fred Astaire You’re like a Ferris wheel at a country fair You light me up and you spin me around You really pick me up when I’m feeling down And all that I have, and all that is true Oh it wouldn’t be there if I didn’t have you And I don’t want anything  If I can’t Have You There’s not much left for me to do There’s not much more I want to do

All the distant memories And all that are lost behind And much of what you said, when you think it with your head now seems so unkind But there are times that remain so fresh so innocent, so full of life That you wish you can hold them forever, hold on to the good times  I’ve got good times on my mind, But I must be losing my memory Cause good times they don’t come around much no more They’ve been staying away from me  Now, my distant present Seems further off than the past And the good times are just so far away So far so few to last But sometimes on a quiet night I can laugh away the tears Throw away all the bad parts And think of the good years  I’ve got good times on my mind, But I must be losing my memory Cause good times they don’t come around much no more They’ve been staying away from me hold on, hold on forever  hold on to the good times

Blue Sky Man Dies Watching the flowers grow Where do you think he’ll go? Goodbye Girl cries What is she crying for Forever is no more oh, I know the feeling well It’s all internalized There’s no one I can tell oh, I know the feeling’s going to try to suck the life from me – suck the life from me Blue sky Plan dies Still the flowers grow And I’m wondering where to go now Oh, I know the feeling well It’s all internalized There’s no one I can tell Oh, I know the feeling’s going to try to suck the life from me – suck the life from me The way my world unfolds itself is known to me nobody wants to see it through with me nobody wants to know my world Oh love oh love oh where are you I don’t think I can make it without love

Racing against my own record time In the million meter hurdles of life Facing my own record for the millionth time Oh I’m still racing against my own record time In the million meter hurdles of life Facing my own record for the millionth time For the millionth time For the millionth time Trying to find the finish line For the millionth time I keep setting them up I keep knocking them down Keep knocking myself around Every second step I take, keeps me down Oh Iím still racing against my own record time In the million meter hurdles of life Facing my own record For the millionth time For the millionth time For the millionth time Trying to find the finish line – For the millionth time I’ve made a million mistakes I’ll make a million more Hope I don’t lock myself out of the door At the end of all the races, the big bright door Oh I’m still Racing against my own record time In the million meter hurdles of  life Facing my own record For the millionth time For the Millionth Time – For the Millionth Time Trying to find the Finish Line – For the Millionth Time

If I stay calm, calm, calm, I might not fear it They’re dropping bombs, bombs, bombs on my spirit Well I know how to go, how to show, how to go for the ride! Or do I just know how to hide?  It’ll take us more than a day, to throw it all away I still got some freedom! If I stay calm, calm, calm, they won’t ruin my life Avoid the bombs, bombs, bombs so I don’t jackknife They’re just a step away, just inches away, they’re so close today on that lost highway They’re just a step away from my freedom  It’ll take them more than a day to blow it all away I still got some freedom!  It’ll take us more than a day, to throw it all away I still got some freedom! It’ll take them more than a day, to blow it all away I still got some freedom!

Why didn’t you tell me It wasn’t that easy Why didn’t you show me it wasn’t so hard I need people to tell me When it doesn’t come easy I need someone to show me how to play the right cards  No one’s left behind at the end of the world at the end of time no one is left behind  Why didn’t you help me  When I said I was needy  Why didn’t you show me it wasn’t so hard I need people to tell me How not to be greedy I need someone to show me how to let down my guard  No one is left behind at the end of the world at the end of time no one is left behind

I’m not one to sit in one place I’m not one to stay too long I move around so they can’t catch me I move around cause I’ve been done wrong I move around I move around Oh my days slip by but the alarm bells never sound so I move so happily, unhappily around Well I was told you can’t hide by moving I was told you’d always be found That every move you’ve ever been making Every move has been written down But still I move around I move around Oh my days slip by but the alarm bells never sound so I move so happily, unhappily around Someday I might stop this moving Someday I might hang around  Till then I just keep on hoping That I don’t stop moving till I keep what I’ve found But still I… I move around I move around Oh my days slip by but the alarm bells never sound so I move so happily, unhappily around Move around I move around Oh my life slips by but the alarm bells never sound so I move so happily, unhappily around

Waiting For something different to happen today For a baseball player’s pay For an update on the latest trend For that special holographic friend For Elvis to show his face For the aliens to come from space For big brother to close his eyes For a politician that doesn’t tell lies Dreamer – I’m a 21st Century Dreamer Dreaming 21st Century Dreams Guided by electronic beams My 21st Century Dreams Waiting – For a passenger ship to Mars For solar powered flying cars For the next great commercial spot For a survivor to give me a shot For the Jets to be called back home For the big boys to leave the small ones alone For a chance to have a real say For something different to happen today  Dreamer – I’m a 21st Century Dreamer dreaming 21st Century Dreams Guided by electronic beams My 21st Century Dreams
