That's Life Lyrics

"That's Life" was written by O'connor, Hazel Thereasa.

{Words & Music: Hazel O'Connor}

Sometimes I find it so hard to understand

We had some laughs together
Together we tried to change hand in hand
But now it's come to this, for now goodbye
And I must love you and leave you
And you must love me and leave me
And I must love you and leave you

But if ...

[CHORUS:]
If I had another chance
I would have the same romance
With life and you
The lands we travelled through
If I had my time again
I'd change it not another way
With you and life
The happiness and the knife
That's life (life)
That's life (life)
That's life (life, life, life)

A penny for your thoughts right now

Hey, I think I know
It's sad but I'll not let you see
One single tear when it's time for you to go
Hey we can say our goodbyes with a smile
And I must love you and leave you
And you must love me and leave me
And I must love you and leave you
But if ...

[CHORUS]

And I must love you and leave you

And you must love me and leave me
And I must love you and leave you

But if ... if ...

[CHORUS 2x]

Nothing's Gonna Change My Love

For You Lyrics
If I had to live my life without you near me
The days would all be empty
The nights would seem so long
With you I see forever oh so clearly
I might have been in love before
But it never felt this strong
Our dreams are young and we both know
They'll take us where we want to go
Hold me now, touch me now
I don't want to live without you

Nothing's gonna change my love for you

You ought to know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love

Nothing's gonna change my love for you

You ought to know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing's gonna change my love for you

If the road ahead is not so easy

Our love will lead the way for us
Like a guiding star
I'll be there for you if you should need me
You don't have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are
So come with me and share the view
I'll help you see forever too
Hold me now, touch me now
I don't want to live without you
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love

Nothing's gonna change my love for you

You ought to know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing's gonna change my love for you

Nothing's gonna change my love for you

You ought to know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love, my love

Nothing's gonna change my love for you

You ought to know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love

Nothing's gonna change my love for you

You ought to know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing's gonna change my love for you

Nothing's gonna change my love for you

You ought to know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of, sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love, my love

Suzanne Vega - "World Before Columbus"

If your love were taken from me

Every color would be black and white
It would be as flat as the world before Columbus
That's the day that I lose half my sight

If your life were taken from me

All the trees would freeze in this cold ground
It would be as cruel as the world before Columbus
Sail to the edge and I'd be there looking down

Those men who lust for land

And for riches strange and new
Who love those trinkets of desire
Oh they never will have you

And they'll never know the gold

Or the copper in your hair
How could they weigh the worth
Of you so rare

If your love were taken from me

Every light that's bright would soon go dim
It would be as dark as the world before Columbus
Down the waterfall and I'd swim over the brim

Those men who lust for land

And for riches strange and new
Who love those trinkets of desire
Oh they will never have you

And they'll never know the gold

Or the copper in your hair
How could they weigh the worth
Of you so rare

Leonard Cohen – I'm Your Man

If you want a lover,
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love,
I'll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner, take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger,
Here I stand
I'm your man

If you want a boxer,

I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor,
I'll examine every inch of you
If you want a driver, climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride,
You know you can
I'm your man

Ah, the moon's too bright

The chain's too tight
The beast won't go to sleep
I've been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
But a man never got a woman back,
Not by begging on his knees
Or I'd crawl to you baby
And I'd fall at your feet
And I'd howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And I'd claw at your heart
And I'd tear at your sheet
I'd say please, please
I'm your man

And if you've got to sleep

A moment on the road,
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone,
I'll disappear for you
If you want a father for your child,
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand
I'm your man

(If you want a lover)

Leonard Cohen "If It Be Your Will"

If it be your will
That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until
I am spoken for
If it be your will
If it be your will
That a voice be true
From this broken hill
I will sing to you
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing

If it be your will
If there is a choice
Let the rivers fill
Let the hills rejoice
Let your mercy spill
On all these burning hearts in hell
If it be your will
To make us well

And draw us near

And bind us tight
All your children here
In their rags of light
In our rags of light
All dressed to kill
And end this night
If it be your will

If it be your will.

MIDGE URE

If I Was Lyrics
If I was a better man

Would fellow men take me to their hearts?

If I was a stronger man
Carrying the weight of popular demand

Tell me
would that alarm her?
I'd never harm her at all.

If I was a soldier
captive arms I'd lay before her.
If I was a sailor
seven oceans I'd sail to her.

If I was a wiser man

Would other men reach out and touch me?

If I was a kinder man
Dishing out love for a hungry world

Tell me
would that appease her? I want to please her again.

If I was a painter

I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her.

If I was a leader

On food of love from above I would feed her.

If I was a poet

All my love and burning words I would show it.

If I was a lover

Her eyes in kisses I would cover.

Come here
my baby
oh
they can't touch you now

I'll keep you safe and warm

I'll never leave you at all.
Come here
my baby
oh
they won't touch you

Dishing up love for a hungry world

tell me
would that appease you?
I want to please you again.

If I was a soldier
captive arms I'd lay before her.
If I was a sailor
seven oceans I'd sail to her.
If I was a painter
I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her.
If I was a leader
on food of love from above I would feed her.

John Lennon – Stand by me

When the night has come

And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me

Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon

Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me

Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me,

Oh now now stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Darlin', darlin', stand by me, stand by me

Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
