Peaceful Easy Feeling

I like the way sparkling earrings lay
Against your skin so brown
And I want to sleep with you in the desert tonight
With a billion stars all around
Cause I got a peaceful easy feeling
And I know you won't let me down
Cause I'm already standing
On the ground
And I found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul
Aw but she can't take you any way
You don't already know how to go
Cause I got a peaceful easy feeling
And I know you won't let me down
Cause I'm already standing
On the ground
I get this feeling I may know you
As a lover and a friend
This voice keeps whispering in my other ear
Tells me I may never see you again
Cause I get a peaceful easy feeling
And I know you won't let me down
Cause I'm already standing
I'm already standing
Yes I'm already standing
On the ground

Part of Me, Part of You

Felt it when the sun came up this morning
Knew I couldn’t wait another day
Darling, there is something I must tell you
A distant voice is calling me away
Until we find a bridge across forever
Until this grand illusion brings us home
You and I will always be together
From this day on you`ll never walk alone
Cause you’re a part of me and I’m a part of you
Wherever we may travel
Whatever we go through
Whatever time may take away
It cannot change the way we feel today
So hold me close and say you feel it too
You’re part of me, and I am a part of you
I hear it when I stand beside the river
I see it when I look up in the sky
I feel it when I hear that lonesome highway
So many miles to go before I die
We can never know about tomorrow
Still we have to choose which way to go
You and I are standing at the crossroads
Darling, there is one thing you should know
Cause You’re a part of me and I’m a part of you
Wherever we may travel
Whatever we go through
Whatever time may take away
It cannot change the way we feel today
So hold me close and say you feel it too
You’re part of me, and I am part of you
Part of me
Part of you
Part of me

It's late at night and we're all alone
With just the music of the radio
No one's comin', no one gonna telephone
Just me and her and the lights down low
And we're slow dancin’, swaying to the music
Slow dancin', just me and my girl
Slow dancin', swayin' to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
We just flow together when the lights are low
Shadows dancin' all across the wall
The music's playin' so soft and slow
And the rest of the world so far away and small
And we’re slow dancin', swayin' to the music
Slow dancin', just me and my girl
Slow dancin', swayin' to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
Hold me, she said hold me
I’ll never let her go
As we dance together in the dark
There’s so much love in this heart of mine
She whispers to me, and I hold her tight
She’s the one I thought I'd never find
And we're slow dancin', swayin' to the music
Slow dancin', just me and my girl
Slow dancin', swayin' to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
In the whole wide world

The One You Love
04:01

I know you need a friend
Someone you can talk to
Who will understand what you're going through
When it comes to love
There's no easy answers
Only you can say what you're gonna do
I heard you on the phone
You took his number
Said you weren't alone, but you'd call him soon
Isn't he the guy
Guy who left you crying
Isn't he the one who made you blue
When you remember those nights in his arms
You know you've gotta make up your mind
Are you gonna stay with the one who loves you
Or are you going back to the one you love
Someone's gonna cry when they know they've lost you
Someone's gonna thank the stars above
What you gonna say when he comes over
There's no easy way to see this through
All the broken dreams
All the disappointment
Oh girl, what you gonna do
Your heart keeps saying it's just not fair
But still you've gotta make up your mind
Are you gonna stay with the one who loves you
Or are you going back to the one you love
Someone's gonna cry when they know they've lost you
Someone's gonna thank the stars above

Our lives are changin’, you know their changin’
this old world keeps turnin’, the world keeps turnin’
I sit here wonderin’, but I wonder darlin’
What we're really learnin’, what we're really learnin’
I know you're just a woman, I'm just a man
Let's be true to each other, do the best we can
And do some soul searchin', soul searchin'
Little bit of soul searchin’, soul searchin’
Let’s do some soul searchin’, just you and me
There's a big train rollin', big train rollin'
I can hear it hummin', hear it hummin'
But the river is risin’, river is risin'
And the rain keeps comin’, rain keeps comin'
It's time to get onboard, before we're washed away
It's time to leave behind some things from yesterday
Let's do some soul searchin', soul searchin'
Little bit of soul searchin’, soul searchin’
Let’s do some soul searchin’, just you and me
The time is comin', you know the time is comin’
To do some soul searchin', some soul searchin'
No more runnin', there’ll be no more runnin’
No more bridges burnin’, no more bridges burnin'
It's time for every woman and every man
To build a new world together, workin' hand in hand
It's time to stop pretending that you're somebody else
You know you can't change this world, but you can change yourself
If we do a little soul searchin', soul searchin’
Little bit of soul searchin', soul searchin'
Let's do some soul searchin’, just you and me
Gonna take a look inside, look inside
Forget our foolish pride, foolish pride
It's time to search our souls
And make a good thing whole, let’s get a good thing whole
Soul searchin’, soul searchin’, soul searchin'...

Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other night
And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
But I got some news for you
And you'll soon find out it's true
And then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself
'Cause I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this victory song, woo, hoo, hoo, woo, hoo, hoo
The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why
But I guess you felt you had to set things right
But Just remember this, when you look up in the sky
You can see the stars and still not see the light (I don’t care)
Cause I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this victory song, woo, hoo, hoo, woo, hoo, hoo
Well I know it wasn't you that held me down
But I know it wasn't you who set me free
Cause often times it happens we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key
And I’m already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this victory song, woo, hoo, hoo, woo, hoo, hoo
I could of stuck around in trouble
I could of stuck around and cried
I could of stuck around to wonder why
Oh but I just said goodbye
Now I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this victory song, woo, hoo, hoo, woo, hoo, hoo

Privacy

They got a video zoom
In my hotel room
The camera’s in the wall
They can watch it all
I want my privacy
Every call I take
Every buck I make
They store it on a chip
It don’t cost ‘em zip
I want my privacy
I want my privacy, privacy
I want my privacy, privacy
I wanna lay on the couch
Just Tina and me
I want my privacy
Well they can see my face
From up in outer space
Man, the eye in the sky
Knows when I’m getting high
I want my privacy
Big Business wants to make a sale
The government says
They’ve got bad guys to nail
Everybody thinks that gives them the right
To keep on watching me day and night
I want my privacy, privacy
I want my privacy, privacy
Big brothers watching me
Hey, let me be
I want my privacy
It’s the American way
To say get out of my face
They say that’s how things are
I say they’ve gone too far
I want my privacy
Man, I can’t steal a kiss
How can we live like this
I want my privacy
My TV
Is watching me
Hey brother I want my privacy

Well over in the corner
There’s a shy little girl
Here comes a guy
Gonna give her a whirl
There they go out on the dance floor
She gonna shake it ‘til that guy
Can’t take it no more
Everybody's gonna love somebody tonight
Oh, everybody's gonna love somebody tonight
Ooh wee baby, turn on your little love light
We’ve done a thousand shows
From shore to shore
Never saw a crowd like this before
Every hundred years the planets line up
The people go wild and they can’t get enough
Everybody's gonna love somebody tonight
Everybody's gonna love somebody tonight
Ooh wee baby, you’re such a beautiful sight
Oh you better take care
Your heart’s in danger
You’re already dancing with a perfect stranger
You fall in his arms, you fall in love
It’s already written in the stars above
Oh you might start something gonna end in tears
You might start something that’ll last for years
One thing I know, I’m willing to bet
We gonna see a time that we never forget
Everybody's gonna love somebody tonight
Everybody's gonna love somebody tonight
Everybody's gonna love somebody tonight
Everybody's gonna love somebody tonight
Everybody's gonna love somebody tonight
Ooh wee baby, turn on your little love light

Party Town

Sick of my job, sick of my wife
Sick of my future and sick of my life
I packed up the car and I got some gas
And told everybody they could kiss my ass
I'm goin' to party town
(Yeah, yeah)
Theyt really party down
(Yeah, yeah)
I wanna have some fun
I wanna fool around
Down in party town
Sun comes up, the sun goes down
Nobody cares in party town
They go all day and they go all night
They keep on goin' 'til they get it right
Right here in Party town
(Yeah, yeah)
They really party down
(Yeah, yeah)
Man, it's a party town
(Yeah, yeah)
You know they all got their own
And they pass it all around
Burnin' like a blowtorch in my prime
Everybody here is a friend of mine
I met this girl a couple shooters ago
She's teachin' me everything I don't know
About Party town
(Yeah, yeah)
They really party down
(Yeah, yeah)
You know they love to ball
They do it in the hall
Right here in Party town
Party town
(Yeah, yeah)
Party town
(Yeah, yeah)
Party town
(Yeah, yeah)
Ooh it’s a party town, yeah

A perfect day, the sun is sinkin' low
As evening falls, the gentle breezes blow
The time we shared went by so fast
Just like a dream, we knew it couldn't last
I'd do it all again
If I could somehow
I must be leavin' soon
It's your world now
It's your world now
My race is run
I'm moving on
Like the setting sun
No sad goodbyes
No tears allowed
You'll be alright
It's your world now
Even when we are apart
You'll always stay in my heart
When dark clouds appear in the sky
Remember true love never dies
But first a kiss, one glass of wine
Just one more dance while there's still time
My one last wish: someday, you'll see
How hard I tried, how much you meant to me
It's your world now
Use well your time
Be part of something good
Leave something good behind
The curtain falls
I take my bow
That's how it's meant to be
It's your world now
