As we walk along the sand, you are in my heart, and my heart is in your hands. I think about the times when I was still alone and all I want is you forever in my arms. When I look into your eyes I know I’ve found the one. I want you with me for the rest of my life Through the good and bad, the pleasure and the strife The days go by and people come and go But you’re still by my side, and it will always be so. I will be here when you wake. I will love you till my dying day. No matter how the winds of change may blow No matter if the stars above no longer cast their glow I will be here with you and our love will always grow. I will be here with you, and our love, forever.

It’s a rent party, it’s a rent party, it’s a rent party, it’s a rent party, It’s a rent party, it’s a rent party, it’s a rent party, it’s a rent party! We’re going to have ourselves some fun tonight! We’re going to raise the roof, and pay the rent tonight! It’s not that the landlord’s been cruel, It’s not that my neighbors aren’t cool, It’s just I ain’t made a dime, since I got out from school. We’re going to have ourselves some fun tonight! Here comes the landlord walking up to me, Happy people everywhere my doom is all I see. If he won’t let me stay it’s my parents’ or the street. It’s a rent party, it’s a rent party, it’s a rent party, it’s a rent party, It’s a rent party, it’s a rent party, it’s a rent party, it’s a rent party! He comes walkin’ right to me and looks me in the eye I hope he doesn’t notice but I think I’m gonna cry He says if there’s a party like this every single night As long as I am on the list of people you invite You can stay as long as you like! We’re going to have ourselves some fun tonight! We’re going to raise the roof, and pay the rent each and every night! It’s a rent party, it’s a rent party, it’s a rent party, it’s a rent party, It’s a rent party, it’s a rent party, it’s a rent party, it’s a rent party!

The sadness below it’s so deep it's so deep The sadness below it's so deep it's so deep The need so strong my arms hold you fast my legs only dance to your tune The days burned furious and it was over but the longing smoldered for years and years and forever And forever I had you, in some other life But not the life that I have lived. The sadness below it’s so deep it's so deep The sadness below it's so deep it's so deep Years gone by denying my heart lies stunned like a bird hitting glass, Love locked up in pain and defeat everyone I saw melted in that heat, Boiling in that pot, rattling the cover Steaming for someone else. I deceived myself that I needed just to be free, I should have let my heart guide me The sadness below is so deep it's so deep The sadness below is so deep it's so deep Then I came to I’d felt it again in a dream the love I thought was gone It filled me up to the brim, with the love I thought was lost for so long The longing once all I knew, long ago burned away Love is back filling up the place. Love fills my soul like 10,000 rays of light Everything is alright Everything is alright Everything is alright The love there within, it’s so deep, it’s so deep The love there within, it’s come back, it’s in reach The love there within, it’s right there, it’s everywhere it’s infinite.

Coral won’t be winning the world’s greatest pet tricks, Unless you count the money she’s made disappear… When she’s not dying (again), or raging at the vacuum, She’s cute as a gumdrop, loyal as they come, Except when someone else has the chicken. Coral, Coral, Coral, you’re the moral, of the story, and you’re the one. Coral, Coral, Coral, you’re the moral, of the story, and you’re the one. Coral is sleeping, snoring in the sunlight, Flying away in dreams in the claws of an hawk. Tonight she’ll be all itchy ‘till she settles with you later, She’ll lie there if you pet her, she’ll lie there if you don’t, Except when she’s a little traitor. Coral, Coral, Coral, you’re the moral, of the story, and you’re the one. Coral, Coral, Coral, you’re the moral, of the story, and you’re the one. Coral, Coral, Coral, you’re the moral, moral, moral of the story, and you’re the one.

I hate to sing over a song so beautiful But I just remembered that drive along the shore Pushing the pedal to the floor To see the sun set just once more I never wanted that ride to end Two hearts beat as one I looked in her eyes, it was a day I thanked the lord for A million times over. What it would mean to see her now, With these selfsame eyes, And a heart a hundred years older. When I knew she was really gone, I left my soul at that turn in the road. I taste the licorice of those long-gone days, Is it bitter or sweet, I can’t tell. She lifted my guarded spirit to the sky And as we drove together I knew why We had been born upon this earth To find out what love is worth A hundred seasons have covered our paths I can’t go back there anyway. I thought the rides together would last forever, It’s been forever since those days. I hate to sing over a song so beautiful But I just remembered that’s why I’m here To sing about her one more time To ride that highway one more time What it would mean to see her again, With these selfsame eyes, And a heart a hundred years wiser. Just to see her again, Just to see her again, Just to see her again Just to see her again
