Place My Bets On You

Most people that know me well
Will say I never gamble as a rule
And as for all all of the chances I've missed
I know that some might take me for a fool
But then one day you were stood right there in front of me
Like an angel come to soothe my stormy seas
I could tell right there you were my everything
Most people that know me well
Will say I'm might be prone to changes, too
‘Cause the freshness of your face
Blew my loneliness away
And I placed my bets on you
Girl now each and every day
I thank heaven for its grace
That I placed my bets on you
About the very next thing I knew
Well, I was swinging up among the stars
Right on out through the stratosphere
And passed those little green guys from Mars
Every step I took was like a dream to me
Like or Mahler or Mendelssohn symphony
With a splash of tender Beatle harmony
And most people that know me well
Will say I'm partial to a tune or two
‘Cause the freshness of your face
Blew my loneliness away
And I placed my bets on you
And now each and every day
I thank heaven for its grace
That I placed my bets on you
Girl, the freshness of your face
Blew my loneliness away
And I placed my bets on you
And now each and every day
I thank heaven for its grace
That I placed my bets on you
Girl, the freshness of your face
Blew my loneliness away
And I placed my bets on you
And now each and every day
I thank heaven for its grace
That I placed my bets on you

I Still Believe In You
02:37

Well, I still believe in you
Though it's hard sometimes
I still believe in you
Yes it makes me sigh
I still believe in you
Is it such a crime?
I still believe in you
After all this time
No it's not just a question
Of how many times
I've had to place a sticking plaster on this heart of mine
And the countless times you've left me out there in the cold
I got chill blains a plenty way down in my soul
But I still believe in you
Though it's hard sometimes
I still believe in you
Yes it makes me sigh
I still believe in you
Is it such a crime?
I still believe in you
After all this time
To be fair, there's been so many times throughout the years
When your kindly disposition's seen me though my fears
Maybe that's why I'm prone inside to keep you near
Despite all of the risk being cut so crystal clear
But I still believe in you
Though it's hard sometimes
I still believe in you
Yes it makes me sigh
I still believe in you
Is it such a crime?
I still believe in you
After all this time
I still believe in you (to fade)

Coming Back To Me
02:50
|
|

|
I get lonely some nights since I'm without you, but
I don't like running round like other guys do, ‘cause
If some news of that kind should ever reach you, then
I'd be cast quick aside without a cold clue, and
I don't want that no, no
Since you set me aside I've been so blue, and
I'd come running back given half the chance to, and
One day you might be open to that notion, and
Won't be just out to mess with my emotions, ‘cause
I don't want that no, no
So one day soon I hope to live that dream
Where you come a running straight on back to me
We'll turn round the corner and there we'll be
Remembering the day that you came back to me
’Til that day I'm quite content to dream
And just keep on making believing that you're coming back to me
Coming back to me
(TRUMPET VERSE)
We'll turn round a corner and there we'll be
Remembering the day that you came back to me
’Til that day I'm quite content to dream
And just keep on making believing that you're coming back to me
Coming back to me, baby
Coming back to me, baby
Coming back to me, baby
Coming back to me, baby (to fade)

Ooowee, is this the end of our road?
Is this the end of our road?
Well if the pot done gets any hotter
It might just turn right around and explode
And if the eye of the hurricane done gets any closer
It'll blow us to the yellow brick road
We got Jesus and Buddha on speed dial
But we've yet to have them pick up the phone
Ooowee, is this the end of our road?
Is this the end of our road?
Well if the tide done gets any higher
It might just wash our sins all away
Because the time and the tide ain't waiting round for nothing
When they feel its time to have their say
And you can feel that temperature rising
Like something's getting ready to blow
Ooowee, is this the end of our road?
Ooowee, is this the end of our…
Dagnammit, feels just like the end
It's a shame we ain't prone to leave this world alone hey, hey, hey
Uh huh alright now
Ooh feels just like the end of our…
Dank farrik it feels just like end
It's a shame we ain't prone to leave the world alone hey, hey, hey
Ooowee, is this the end of our road?
Ooowee, is this the end of our road? (to fade)

What's The Matter Baby

What's the matter, baby?
What's the matter now?
There never seems to be the time these days to sit down and work it all out
And has that restless mind of yours been busy working over time?
What's the matter, baby?
What's the matter now?
So hey come on now, baby
What's with all this doubt?
Let's get back believing those dreams we were dreaming before all these shadows abound
What's the matter, baby?
What's the matter, baby?
So hey come on now, baby
What's the matter now?
We could sit and write a list of things that make you want to shout
Find a better route to navigate these swings and roundabouts
What's the matter, baby?
What's the matter now?
So hey come on now, baby
What's with all these doubts?
Let's get back believing those dreams you were dreaming, don't let all these shadows abound
What's the matter, baby?
What's the matter, baby? (to fade)

This World Today
02:44
|
|

Some things about it may catch your eye
Some things about it might raise some questions why
Sometimes the areas are pretty darn grey
We've kinda settled on 'it happens that way'
In this world today
This world today
Well both you and I have very little say
In this world today
Alright
While any bad seems to happen fast
Any good just comes so darn slow
So best be careful not to blink your eyes
Something might happen you just don't want to know
In this world today
In this world today
Well you can shut your eyes but it just won't go away
This world today
So if you start to feel your patience waring thin
Hitch on to the back of the queue
You're feeling like a lab rat on a sinking ship
Hell, there ain't an awful lot you can do
Oh yeah
Alright
Uh-huh
Ughhn!
In this world today
In this world today
Well you can shut your eyes
But it just won't go away
This world today
Oh, this world today
This world today
Well both you and I have very little say
In this world today

Well you know I've travelled all around this world
And I ain't seen a beauty yet to match yours girl
In bluest of skies and the shiniest seas
I see your reflection looking back at me
And then when I look back at the world I see
It's slowly now becoming very clear to me
That maybe there's a better place that we can be
If ever we're ready
When we find that love so true,
That every emptiness had been removed
And each wonderful thing we see
Are just reflections of you and me
Well sometimes the troubles in-a this ol' world
Can really get the best of us as they unfurl
No matter who you are or in what you believe
Sometimes this stuff can really mess you up it seems
But sometimes I look out at the world and see
The truth being shrouded like a mystery
I'm thinking there's a better place that we can be
Whenever we're ready
When we find that love so true
That every emptiness had been removed
And each wonderful thing we see
Are just reflections of you and me

Nothing Can Change
02:50

Nothing can change those things that were
Nothing can change by hide nor hair
No matter what we say or do
It seems nothing can stop the rise of fools
Nothing can change those times we cry
Just like nothing could still that hurt inside
And no, nothing can change all the love in my heart just for you
Nothing can stop the passing time
Deep in our hearts it's underlined
Nothing can change the resolute
Oh, no matter how hard we may dispute
Nothing can change those times we lie
Oh, no matter the face we hide behind
Just like nothing can change all the love in my heart
Nothing can change all the love in my heart
Nothing can change all the love in my heart just for you
Nothing in the world, nothing in the world, baby
Nothing in the world, nothing in the world, oh no now
Nothing in the world, nothing in the world, baby
Nothing in the world, nothing in the world can change how I feel
Can change how I feel
Can change how I feel
Can change how I feel

Searching The World
02:38

Yes I've been searching the world to find the right words
But there ain't nothing to do you justice there
Yes I've been searching the world to find the right words
But there ain't nothing to do you justice there
Both Vermont in the wintertime and Paris in spring
They couldn't tell me a thing
And the ol' river Danube by the light of the moon
He wasn't saying much, too
And the sphinx and the pyramids were both of kind of vague
Ain't giving nothing away
Yes I've been searching the world to find the right words
But there ain't nothing to do you justice there
Yes I've been searching the world to find the right words
But there ain't nothing to do you justice there
So I braved the Sahara like the heart of the sun
That really wasn't much fun
I stood atop the Himalayas nearly touching the moon
Not even hints of a clue.
And at each and every wonder that I passed on the way
Had very little to say
Yes I've been searching the world to find the right words
But there ain't nothing to do you justice there
Yes I've been searching the world to find the right words
But there ain't nothing to do you justice there
So I searched every place but the heavens above
And now I got myself a ticket for a rocket at the end of the month
Oh yes, I got myself a ticket for a rocket at the end of the month
Yes I've been searching the world to find the right words
But there ain't nothing to do you justice there
Yes I've been searching the world to find the right words
But there ain't nothing to do you justice there
Oh yeah
Baby I've been searching this a world
But they ain't doing you no justice there
Ooooh baby, baby, baby, baby
There ain't no justice in this here world
Ain't no justice in this here world
Ain't no justice in this here world
Ain't no justice in this here world

The Shape We're In
03:32

Well there really ain't no substitute
For a sweetness of such high repute
Yeah we had our troubles for a while
Now I'm glad to say we're doing fine
We had to work real hard to fix the shape we were in
But now we're through that phase
and it's just win win win
And now the weather's always sunny in this heart of mine
And all the stars and rainbows follow me around
And I said baby
So glad we worked it out, baby
‘Cause only your love can save me
And I feel so much better 'bout the shape we're in
Oh yeah
Oow how how
Mmm hmm, oh yeah
As we look out at the world today
Everybody's got a lot to say
Maybe some might think they're pretty cute
Standing on the verge of destitute
That's why I'm oh so glad we fixed the shape we were in
‘Cause we can work together though this thick and thin
They say the weather's always sunny in a loving heart
And we can stay that way if we just play it smart
And I said baby
So glad we worked it out, baby
‘Cause only your love can save me
And I feel so much better 'bout the shape we're in
Oh yeah
Uh hoh hoh
Mmm hmm hmm yeah
Hey hey yeah
Woah oh yeah
Well I said baby
So glad we worked it out, baby
Cos only your love can save me
And I feel so much better 'bout the shape we're in
And I feel so much better 'bout the shape we're in
And I said baby
So glad we worked it out, baby
Woah yeah
And I said baby
So glad we worked it out, baby
So glad we worked it out, baby

Well I could tell you my tales of bad luck
And how attempts at love would run that way
And how I came to construct a wall
For me to run behind and hide my shame
Well I may have been stupid, hell, may have been selfish
And I may have been-a easily led
But just when I was about to settle for a place to lay my weary head
They came tumbling down
The walls I'd placed round my heart
Uh huh they came a-tumbling down
The walls came tumbling down
And I could sense them tremble since you first came around
The walls came tumbling down
The walls around my heart they came a-tumbling, a-tumbling down
Well first I noticed a trembling sensation
Start to lift my head on up from the ground
I tried to search for some resistance
But it seemed that there was none to be found
Well I had to be brave
Although I felt so helpless
I could feel my luck was starting to change
And even though I felt so defenceless
To the avalanche a heading my way
They came a tumbling down
The walls I'd placed round my heart
Uh huh they came a-tumbling, a-tumbling down
The walls came tumbling down
And I could sense them tremble when you first came around
The walls came tumbling down
I was searching for resistance but none could be found
The walls came tumbling down
The Walls around my heart
they came a-tumbling, a-tumbling down
The walls came tumbling down
The walls came tumbling
I said the walls came tumbling down
And I could sense them tremble when you first came around
The walls came tumbling down
I was a searching for resistance but none could be found
The walls came tumbling down,
The walls around my heart they came a-tumbling, tumbling down
The walls came tumbling down
Oh yeah a-tumbling, a-tumbling down
The walls came tumbling
The walls came tumbling
The walls came tumbling

No Matter What!
03:52
|
|
||
|
No matter what you say or do
You know I'll always stand by you
Even if the stars or heavens should start to fall
But as fortune leads us through it's dance
It seems I never get the chance to say:
No matter what you say or do
You know I'll always stand by you
In the longest of nights and the darkest of days
When old lady luck just won't roll my way
You've always been the one
To help me carry on
United we'll stand
Divided we'll fall
To see things any other way
Just makes no sense at all
As I live and pray that this love that we share never stops
The thought of you gone from my life makes my temperature drop
As the years keep on turning
I've slowly been learning of the wonder that is you
Woah a-woah and
No matter what you say or do
You know I'll always stand by you
As I live and pray that this love that we share never stops
The thought of you gone from my life makes my temperature drop
As the years keep on turning
I've slowly been learning of the wonder that is you
And no matter baby
No matter what you say or do
Oh yeah
You know I'll always
Oh yes I'll always
You know I'll always
I'll always, always, always, always stand by you
And no matter what you might say or do
You know I'll always stand by you
