Just a small town girl, livin in a lonely world She took the midnight train goin anywhere Just a city boy, born and raised in south detroit He took the midnight train goin anywhere A singer in a smokey room A smell of wine and cheap perfume For a smile they can share the night It goes on and on and on and on Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard Their shadows searching in the night Streetlight people, living just to find emotion Hiding, somewhere in the night Working hard to get my fill, Everybody wants a thrill Payin anything to roll the dice, Just one more time Some will win, some will lose Some were born to sing the blues Oh, the movie never ends It goes on and on and on and on (chorus) Dont stop believin Hold on to the feelin Streetlight people
Sing with me, sing for the years Sing for the laughter and sing for the tears Sing with me, if its just for today Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on? See the safety of the life you have built Everything where it belongs Feel the hollowness inside of your heart And it's all right where it belongs What if everything around you Isn't quite as it seems What if all the world you think you know Is an elaborate dream? And if you look at your reflection Is that all you want it to be? What if you could look right through the cracks Would you find yourself, find yourself afraid to see? What if all the world's inside of your head Just creations of your own? Your devils and your gods all the living and the dead And you're really all alone? You can live in this illusion You can choose to believe You keep looking but you can't find the woods While you're hiding in the trees What if everything around you Isn't quite as it seems What if all the world you used to know Is an elaborate dream? And if you look at your reflection Is that all you want to be? What if you could look right through the cracks Would you find yourself, find yourself afraid to see?
She heard the trumpets from the military band And the flowers fell out of her hands Baby, why'd you leave me? Why'd you have to go? I was countin? on forever, now I'll never know I can't even breathe It's like I'm lookin? from a distance, standin? in the background Everybody's sayin?, he's not comin? home now This can't be happenin? to me, this is just a dream The preacher man said, ?Let's bow our heads and pray Lord, please lift his soul and heal this hurt" Then the congregation all stood up and sang The saddest song that she ever heard And then they handed her a folded up flag And she held on to all she had left of him Oh, well, what could?ve been? And then the guns rang one last shot And it felt like a bullet in her heart Baby, why'd you leave me? Why'd you have to go? I was countin? on forever, now I'll never know I can't even breathe It's like I'm lookin? from a distance, standin? in the background Everybody's sayin?, he's not comin? home now This can't be happenin? to me, this is just a dream Ooh, baby, why'd you leave me? Why'd you have to go? I was countin? on forever, now I'll never know Oh, I'll never know It's like I'm lookin? from a distance, standin? in the background Everybody's sayin?, he's not comin? home now This can't be happenin? to me, this is just a dream Oh, this is just a dream It?s just a dream, yeah, yeah
I need somebody uplifting To take me away I want a lover who knows me Who understands how I feel inside Someone to comfort and hold me Through the long lonely nights Till the dawn Why don't you take me away Chorus Dreamlover come rescue me Take me up take me down Take me anywhere you want to baby now I need you so desperately Won't you please come around 'Cause I wanna share forever with you baby I don't want another pretender To disillusion me one more time Whispering words of forever Playing with my mind I need someone to hold on to The kind of love that won't fly away I just want someone to belong to Everyday Of my life Always So come and take me away Chorus Chorus
You know I wouldn't want to be you Now there's a hell I can't describe So now I wander through my days And try to find my ways To the feelings that I felt I saved for you and no one else And though as long as this road seems I know it's called the street of dreams But that's not stardust on my feet It leaves a taste that's bittersweet That's called the blues I don't know just what I should do Everywhere I go I see you Though it's what you planned This much is true What I thought was beautiful Don't live inside of you Anymore I don't know just what I should do Everywhere I go I see you Though it's what you planned This much is true What I thought was beautiful Don't live inside of you Anymore What this means to me Is more than I know you believe What I thought of you now Has I thought that was true before Were lies I couldn't see What I thought was beautiful is only memories Oh oh oh What'd I tell you Oh oh oh That's Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Inside of you
I look inside of myself Will I find some kind of conviction? Will I bid the hero farewell? Will I be defined by things that could have been? I guess time will only tell I guess time will only tell [Chorus:] So don't let it be Before tomorrow comes Before you turn away Take the hand in need Before tomorrow comes You could change everything I curse my worth and every comfort That blinded me for way too long Damn it all I'll make a difference from now on Cause I'm wide awake to it all Cause I'm wide awake to it all [Chorus] Does Does Does Does anyone anyone anyone anyone care it ain't right what we're doing? care it ain't right where we're going? dare justify how we're living? here care at all?
[Chorus] We could be so much more than we are We could be so much more than we are We could be so much more than we are Oh this much I know
All the world is waiting for the sun. Is it you I want, Or just the notion Of a heart to wrap around so I can find my way around Safe to say from here, Your getting closer now, We are never sad cause we are not allowed to be Rain rain go away, Come again another day, All the world is waiting for the sun. Rain rain go away, Come again another day, All the world is waiting for the sun.

Rain rain go away, Come again another day, All the world is waiting for the sun. Rain rain go away, Come again another day, All the world is waiting for the sun, All the world is waiting for the sun, All the world is waiting for the sun.
And feelin my world start to turn And Ill taste every moment And live it out loud I know this is the time, This is the time To be more than a name Or a face in the crowd I know this is the time This is the time of my life Time of my life Holding onto things that vanished Into the air Left me in pieces But now Im rising from the ashes Finding my wings And all that I needed Was there all along Within my reach As close as the beat of my heart and Ill taste every moment And live it out loud I know this is the time, This is the time to be More than a name Or a face in the crowd I know this is the time This is the time of my life Time of my life And Im out on the edge of forever Ready to run Im keeping my feet on the ground Arms open wide Face to the sun Ill taste every moment And live it out loud I know this is the time, This is the time to be More than a name Or a face in the crowd I know this is the time This is the time of my life Time of my life More than a name
Or a face in the crowd This is the time This is the time of my life. This is the time of my life.
