Y’s Lyrics Emporium IV: Fab Four (Hi, Leigh!!!)

What a day for a daydream
What a day for a daydreamin' boy
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dreamin' 'bout my bundle of joy
And even if time ain't really on my side
It's one of those days for takin' a walk outside
I'm blowin' the day to take a walk in the sun
And fall on my face on somebody's new-mowed lawn
I've been havin' a sweet dream
I been dreamin' since I woke up today
It's starrin' me and my sweet thing
'Cause she's the one makes me feel this way
 
Every daydream I have starts and ends with you
I wanna play it one more time
When I need an alibi, you're my perfect excuse
You are always on my side
'Cause all I know and all I am is you
I'm breaking my silence
'Cause I've had a few
I just can't deny it
That all I know and all I am is you
 
Night and day
why is it so
that this hunger for you
follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Night and day.
 
Wasting away again in Margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I think it could be my fault
 
Drink up baby, look at the stars
I'll kiss you again, between the bars
Where I'm seeing you there with your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught
Drink up one more time, and I'll make you mine
Keep you apart, deep in my heart
Separate from the rest, where I like you the best
And keep the things you forgot
People you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
 
I'm gonna do all the things for you, a girl wants a man to do.
Oh, baby (Oh, baby)
I'll sacrifice for you, I'll even do wrong for you.
Oh, baby (Oh, baby)
Every minute, every hour.
I'm gonna shower you with love and affection.
Look out it's coming in your direction.
And I'm... I'm gonna make you love me.
Oh, yes I will.
Yes I will.
I'm gonna make you love me.
Oh, yes I will.
Yes I will.
 
And today, you know that's good enough for me
Breathing in and out's a blessing, can't you see?
Today's the first day of the rest of my life
And I'm alive and well
Yeah, I'm alive and well
 
When I think about the past it only brings me down
Let's make love in the grass while the sun is shining down
It feels so good your long blond hair baby
When you're way down low
Make me shake make the whole earth quake
So everyone will know

Still alive and well I'm still alive and well
Every now and then I know it's kinda hard to tell
But I'm still alive and well
Still alive and well, still alive and well
Every now and then I know it's kinda hard to tell
But I'm still alive and well.
 
What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What's it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Who's gonna save you?
Alive and kicking
Stay until your love is
Alive and kicking
Stay 'til your love is
Until your love is, alive
 
How many boys, one night stands?
How many lips, how many hands have held you?
Like I'm holding you tonight
Too many nights, staying up late
Too much powder and too much paint
No, you can't hide from the turning of the tide
Did they run their fingers
Up and down your shabby dress?
Did they find some tender moment
There in your caress?
 
I know the moment isn't right
To tell the girl a comical line
To keep the conversation light
I guess I'm just frightened out of my mind

But if that's how I feel
Then, it's the best feeling I've ever known
It's undeniably real
Leave a tender moment alone.
 
For one second I
Felt like a bird
Hangin' up in the air
Feelin' stops all
If I said in a word
The feeling to be without a care
Swam in the sea that night
Dove through the waves and I felt like a fish
It was the best feeling in the world
Felt so good that night
My soul it seemed to swim around that night
As I swam that night
 
Move a step closer
You know that I want you
I can tell by your eyes
That you want me too
Just a question of time
I knew we'd be together
And that you'd be mine
I want you here forever
Do you hear what I'm saying
Gotta say how I feel
I can't believe you're here
But I know that you're real
I know what I want
And baby it's you
I can't deny my feelings
Because they are true
Dreams can come true
Look at me babe, I'm with you
You know you gotta have hope
You know you gotta be strong
 
Want love? Get closer
You want love? Get closer
Hold her hand, be forward
Come on, be a man, get closer
Instead of worrying about those things you said
Follow your heart and forget your head
Maybe some things will jump out your mouth
Make her notice that you're crazy about her
 
'Cause I, I feel like I'm ready for love
And I wanna be your everything and more
And I know every day you say it
But I just want you to be sure
That I am yours
And if I've been feeling heavy
You take me from the dark
Your arms they keep me steady
So nothing could fall apart
And I will find my strength to un-tape my mouth
When I used to be afraid of the words
But with you I've learned just to let it out
Now my heart is ready to burst
 
I, I, I... I just want to be your everything
Open up the heaven in your heart and let me be
The things you are to me
And not some puppet on a string.
 
Look into my eyes You will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart Search your soul
And when you find me there
You'll search no more
Don't tell me It's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me It's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do
I do it for you
 
Existence, well, what does it matter?
I exist on the best terms I can
The past is now part of my future
The present is well out of hand
Heart and soul
One will burn
Heart and soul
One will burn
 
Well, I've never been to Heaven
But I've been to Oklahoma
Well, they tell me I was born there
But I really don't remember

In Oklahoma, not Arizona
What does it matter?
What does it matter?
 
She must belong to San Francisco
She must have lost her way
Postin' a poster of Poncho and Cisco
One California day
She said she believes in Robin Hood and brotherhood
And colours of green and grey
And all you can do is laugh at her
Doesn't anybody know how to pray?
Arizona, take off your rainbow shades
Arizona, have another look at the world
My my
Arizona, cut off your Indian braids
Arizona, hey won'tcha go my way
 
The poets tell how Pancho fell
And Lefty's living in cheap hotels
The desert's quiet, Cleveland's cold
And so the story ends we're told

Pancho needs your prayers it's true
But save a few for Lefty too
He only did what he had to do
And now he's growing old
 
You are all the woman I need
And baby, you know it (know it, know it, know it)
You can make this beggar a king
A clown or a poet (poet, poet, poet)
I'll give you all that I own
You've got me standing in line
Out in the cold
Pay me some mind
Bend me, shape me
Anyway you want me
'Long as you love me
It's all right
Bend me, shape me
Anyway you want me
You got the power
You turn on the light
 
Well, I married me a wife, she's been trouble all my life
Run me out in the cold rain and snow, rain and snow
Run me out in the cold rain and snow

Well, she went up to her room where she sang her faithful tune
And I ain't goin' be treated this way, this ol' way
And I ain't goin' be treated this way
 
I'll fake it through the day
With some help from johnny walker red
Send the poison rain down the drain
To put bad thoughts in my head
Two tickets torn in half
And a lot of nothing to do
Do you miss me, miss misery
Like you say you do?
