Angels Among Us Lyrics

I was walking home from school on a cold winter day, Took a shortcut through the woods, and I lost my way

It was getting late, and I was scared and alone, But then a kind old man took my hand and led me home

My mama couldn't see him, oh, but he was standing there

And I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers

CHO: Oh, I believe there are angels among us

Sent down to us from somewhere up above

They come to you and me in our darkest hours

To show us how to live, to teach us how to give

To guide us with the light of love

When life held troubled times and had me down on my knees

There's always been someone to come along and comfort me

A kind word from a stranger to lend a helping hand

A phone call from a friend just to say I understand

But ain't it kind of funny at the dark end of the road

That someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope

CHO:

They wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places

To grace us with their mercy in our time of need

CHO:

To guide us with the light of love

 All I Ask Of You
No more talk of darkness; Forget these wide-eyed fears

I'm here, nothing can harm you; My words will warm and calm you

Let me be your freedom; Let daylight dry your tears

I'm here, with you, beside you; To guard you and to guide you

Say you love me every waking moment

Turn my head with talk of summertime

Say you need me with you now and always

Promise me that all you say is true

That's all I ask of you

Let me be your shelter; Let me be your light

You're safe, no one will find you; Your fears are far behind you

All I want is freedom; A world with no more night

And you, always beside me; To hold me and to hide me

Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime

Let me lead you from your solitude

Say you need me with you, here beside you

Anywhere you go, let me go too; Christine, that's all I ask of you

Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime; Say the word and I will follow you

Share each day with me; Each night, each morning;

Say you love me; You know I do; Love me, that's all I ask of you

Anywhere you go, let me go too; Love me, that's all I ask of you
 ALL OF ME

What would I do without your smart mouth; Drawing me in, and you kicking me out

Got my head spinning, no kidding, I can’t pin you down

What’s going on in that beautiful mind; I’m on your magical mystery ride

And I’m so dizzy, don’t know what hit me, but I’ll be alright

My head’s under water; But I’m breathing fine; You’re crazy and I’m out of my mind

'Cause all of me; Loves all of you; Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections; Give your all to me; I’ll give my all to you

You’re my end and my beginning; Even when I lose I’m winning

'Cause I give you all, all of me; And you give me all, all of you

How many times do I have to tell you; Even when you’re cryin you’re beautiful too

The world is beating you down, I’m around through every move

You’re my downfall, you’re my muse; My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues

I can’t stop singing, it’s ringing, in my head for you

My head’s under water; But I’m breathin fine; You’re crazy and I’m out of my mind

'Cause all of me, Loves all of you; Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections; Give your all to me; I’ll give my all to you

You’re my end and my beginning; Even when I lose I’m winning

'Cause I give you all of me; And you give me all, all of you

Give me all of you

Cards on the table, we’re both showing hearts, Risking it all, though it’s hard

Cause all of me…

 A THOUSAND YEARS

Heart beats fast; Colors and promises

How to be brave? How can I love when I'm afraid to fall

But watching you stand alone? All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you; Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years; I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still; Beauty in all she is

I will be brave; I will not let anything take away

What's standing in front of me; Every breath

Every hour has come to this

One step closer……..

And all along I believed I would find you; Time has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for a thousand years; I'll love you for a thousand more

I'll love you for a thousand more

Ohh

One step closer……..

And all along I believed I would find you; Time has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for a thousand years; I'll love you for a thousand more
 ALWAYS ON MY MIND

Maybe I didn't treat you; Quite as good as I should have

Maybe I didn't love you; Quite as often as I could have

Little things I should have said and done; I just never took the time

You were always on my mind; You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you; All those lonely, lonely times

And I guess I never told you; I am so happy that you're mine

If I made you feel second best; I'm so sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind; You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died

Give me, Give me One more chance to keep you satisfied

Satisfied

Little things I should have said and done; I just never took the time

You were always on my mind; You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't treat you; Quite as good as I should

Maybe I didn't love you; Quite as often as I could

Maybe I didn't hold you; All those lonely lonely times

And I guess I never told you; I am so happy that you're mine

 DANCE WITH MY FATHER

Back when I was a child; Before life removed all the innocence

My father would lift me high; And dance with my mother and me and then

Spin me around till I fell asleep; Then up the stairs he would carry me

And I knew for sure I was loved

If I could get another chance; Another walk, another dance with him

I'd play a song that would never ever end;

How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again, ooh

When I and my mother would disagree; To get my way I would run from her to him

He'd make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah

Then finally make me do just what my momma said

Later that night when I was asleep; He left a dollar under my sheet

Never dreamed that he would be gone from me

If I could steal one final glance, one final step; One final dance w/ him..

Sometimes I'd listen outside her door; And I'd hear how my mother cried for him

I pray for her even more than me; I pray for her even more than me

I know I'm praying for much too much; But could you send back the only man she

loved? I know you don't do it usually

But dear Lord she's dying to dance with my father again

Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream

 BOTH SIDES NOW

Rows and flows of angel hair; And ice cream castles in the air

And feather canyons everywhere; I looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun; They rain and they snow on everyone

So many things I would have done; But clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now; From up and down and still somehow

It's cloud illusions I recall; I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels; The dizzy dancing way you feel

As every fairy tale comes real; I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show; You leave 'em laughing when you go

And if you care, don't let them know; Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now; From give and take and still somehow

It's love's illusions I recall; I really don't know love. At all.

Tears and fears and feeling proud; To say, "I love you" right out loud

Dreams and schemes and circus crowds; I've looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange; They shake their heads they say I've changed

Well something's lost, but something's gained; In living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now; From win and lose and still somehow

It's life's illusions I recall; I really don't know life at all

 CASTLES IN THE AIR

And if she asks you why you can tell her that I told you;

That I'm tired of castles in the air; I've got a dream I want the world to share

And castle walls just lead me to despair

Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky

A dream come true, I'll live there 'til I die; I'm asking you to say my last goodbye

The love we knew ain't worth another try

Save me from all the trouble and the pain;

I know I'm weak but I can't face that girl again

Tell her the reasons why I can't remain

Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain

But how can words express the feel of sunrise in the morning

In the hills away from city strife; I need a country woman for my wife

I'm city born but I love the country life

For I cannot be part of the cocktail generation

Partners waltz devoid of all romance; The music plays and everyone must dance

I'm bowing out, I need a second chance

Save me from all the trouble and the pain;

And if she asks you why you can tell her that I told you ……..
 COME WHAT MAY

Never knew I could feel like this; Like I've never seen the sky before

I want to vanish inside your kiss; Every day I love you more and more

Listen to my heart; Can't you hear it sings; Telling me to give you everything

Seasons may change; Winter to spring; But I love you; Until the end of time

Come what may; Come what may; I will love you; Until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace

Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste

It all revolves around you

And there's no mountain too high; No river too wide

Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side

Storm clouds may gather; And stars may collide

But I love you; (I love you); Until the end of time

Come what may; Come what may; I will love you; Until my dying day

Come what may; Come what may; I will love you;

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Come what may; Come what may

I will love you; Until my dying day

 CANDLE IN THE WIND

Goodbye, Norma Jeane; Though I never knew you at all

You had the grace to hold yourself; While those around you crawled

They crawled out of the woodwork; And they whispered into your brain

They set you on the treadmill; And they made you change your name

And it seems to me you lived your life; Like a candle in the wind

Never knowing who to cling to; When the rain set in

And I would've liked to know you; But I was just a kid

Your candle burned out long before; Your legend ever did

Loneliness was tough; The toughest role you ever played

Hollywood created a superstar; And pain was the price you paid

Even when you died; Oh, the press still hounded you

All the papers had to say; Was that Marilyn was found in the nude

And it seems to me you lived your life

Goodbye, Norma Jeane; Though I never knew you at all

You had the grace to hold yourself; While those around you crawled

Goodbye, Norma Jeane; From the young man in the twenty second row

Who sees you as something more than sexual; More than just our Marilyn Monroe And

it seems to me you lived your life

Your candle burned out long before; Your legend ever did
 HAVE YOU EVER REALLY LOVED A WOMAN

To really love a woman; To understand her, you gotta know her deep inside

Hear every thought, see every dream; And give her wings when she wants to fly

Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms

You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman, you tell her that she's really wanted

When you love a woman, you tell her that she's the one

'Cause she needs somebody, to tell her that it's gonna last forever

So, tell me have you ever really, really, really, ever loved a woman? Yeah

To really love a woman; Let her hold you, 'til you know how she needs to be touched

You've gotta breathe her, really taste her, 'til you can feel her in your blood

And when you can see your unborn children in her eyes

You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman, you tell her that she's really wanted

You got to give her some faith, hold her tight; A little tenderness gotta treat her right

She will be there for you, takin' good care of you;

And when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms

You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman, you tell her that she's really wanted
 PERFECT

I found a love, for me; Darling, just dive right in and follow my lead

Well, I found a girl, beautiful & sweet; I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love

Not knowing what it was; I will not give you up this time

But darling, just kiss me slow; Your heart is all I own; And in your eyes, u're holding mine

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark; With you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass; Listening to our favourite song

When you said you looked a mess; I whispered underneath my breath

But you heard it; Darling, you look perfect tonight

Well, I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know

She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home

I found a lover, to carry more than just my secrets

To carry love, to carry children of our own

We are still kids, but we're so in love; Fighting against all odds

I know we'll be alright this time; Darling, just hold my hand

Be my girl, I'll be your man; I see my future in your eyes

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark………..Baby, I'm dancing in the dark;

I have faith in what I see; Now I know I have met an angel in person

And she looks perfect; I don't deserve this; You look perfect tonight
 SCARBOROUGH FAIR

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?; Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme

Remember me to one who lives there; She once was a true love of mine

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt (in the deep forest green)

Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested ground)

Without no seams nor needle work (Bedclothes the child of the mountain)

Then she'll be a true love of mine (Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)

Tell her to find me an acre of land (A sprinkling of leaves)

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme (Washes the grave with silvery tears)

Between the salt water and the sea strands (And polishes a gun)

Then she'll be a true love of mine

Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather (Blazing in scarlet battalions)

Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Generals order their soldiers to kill)

And gather it all in a bunch of heather (A cause they've long ago forgotten)

Then she'll be a true love of mine

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?; Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme

Remember me to one who lives there; She once was a true love of mine
 I HAVE A DREAM

I Have a Dream, a song to sing; To help me cope, with anything

If you see the wonder, of a fairy tale; You can take the future, even if you fail

I believe in angels; Something good in everything I see

I believe in angels; When I know the time is right for me

I'll cross the stream, I Have a Dream

I Have a Dream, a fantasy; To help me through, reality

And my destination, makes it worth the while

Pushin' through the darkness, still another mile

I believe in angels; Something good in everything I see

I believe in angels; When I know the time is right for me

I'll cross the stream, I Have a Dream; I'll cross the stream, I Have a Dream

I Have a Dream, a song to sing; To help me cope, with anything

If you see the wonder, of a fairy tale; You can take the future, even if you fail

I believe in angels; Something good in everything I see

I believe in angels; When I know the time is right for me

I'll cross the stream, I Have a Dream; I'll cross the stream, I Have a Dream
 DESPERADO

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?

You been out ridin' fences for so long now; Oh, you're a hard one

But I know that you got your reasons; These things that are pleasin' you

Can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds, boy; She'll beat you if she's able

You know the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet

Now, it seems to me some fine things; Have been laid upon your table

But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger

Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home

And freedom, oh freedom, well that's just some people talkin'

Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?;

The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine

It's hard to tell the night time from the day

You're losin' all your highs and lows; Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?

Come down from your fences, open the gate

It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you

You better let somebody love you (let somebody love you)

You better let somebody love you; Before it's too late
 IMAGINE

Imagine there's no heaven; It's easy if you try

No hell below us; Above us, only sky

Imagine all the people; Livin' for today

Ah, Imagine there's no countries; It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for; And no religion, too

Imagine all the people; Livin' life in peace

You; You may say I'm a dreamer; But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us; And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions; I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger; A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people; Sharing all the world

You; You may say I'm a dreamer; But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us; And the world will live as one
 FOREVER YOUNG

May God bless and keep you always; May your wishes all come true

May you always do for others; And let others do for you

May you build a ladder to the stars; And climb on every rung

May you stay forever young

May you stay forever young

May you grow up to be righteous; May you grow up to be true

May you always know the truth; And see the light surrounding you

May you always be courageous; Stand upright and be strong

May you stay forever young

May you stay forever young

May your hands always be busy; May your feet always be swift

May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift

May your heart always be joyful; May your song always be sung

And may you stay forever young

May you stay forever young

 DANCING QUEEN

Ooh; You can dance; You can jive; Having the time of your life

Ooh, see that girl; Watch that scene; Digging the dancing queen

Friday night and the lights are low; Looking out for a place to go

Where they play the right music; Getting in the swing; You come to look for a king

Anybody could be that guy; Night is young and the music's high

With a bit of rock music; Everything is fine; You're in the mood for a dance

And when you get the chance; You are the dancing queen;

Young and sweet; Only seventeen

Dancing queen; Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah

You can dance; You can jive; Having the time of your life

Ooh, see that girl; Watch that scene; Digging the dancing queen

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on; Leave 'em burning and then you're gone

Looking out for another; Anyone will do; You're in the mood for a dance

And when you get the chance; You are the dancing queen

Young and sweet; Only seventeen

Dancing queen; Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah

You can dance; You can jive; Having the time of your life

Ooh, see that girl; Watch that scene; Digging the dancing queen

Digging the dancing queen

 EL CONDOR PASA

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail; Yes, I would; If I could; I surely would

I'd rather be a hammer than a nail; Yes, I would; If I only could; I surely would

Away, I'd rather sail away

Like a swan that's here and gone

A man gets tied up to the ground

He gives the world its saddest sound

Its saddest sound

I'd rather be a forest than a street; Yes, I would; If I could; I surely would

I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet; Yes, I would; If I only could

I surely would
