----------------------------------------------------------------------------
No broken hearts for us 'cause we love each other
And with our faith and trust there could be no other
#01)
It's getting bigger every day
From Hawaii to the shores of Peru
#02)
But I'll keep on waiting till you return
I'll keep on waiting until the day you learn
You can't be happy while your heart's on the roam
You can't be happy until you bring it home
#03)
Oh, his knees are a-gettin' chilly, but he feels no fear of pain
'Cause he sees an angel peekin' through a broken window pane
#04)
I need her loving
And I'm not to blame now
#05)
I saw you with somebody new
I feel so helpless (feel so helpless)
So tell me what are you gonna do
Don't leave me breathless (leave me breathless)
And, oh-oh-ohhh, tell me what should I do
When you told me that you love me?
#06)
If a maid refused me with tossing curls
I let the old earth take a couple of whirls
While I plied her with tears in lieu of pearls
#07)
About the best thing
And maybe before you leave me you'll realize I'm the one that loves you
#08)
You taught me all I know and I'll never look back
It's a very strange world and I thank you
#09)
I'm holdin' on
I can't fall back
Now that big brass ring
Is a shade of black
#10)
What good is a song if the words just don't belong
And the dream must be a dream for two?
No good alone
#11)
You know that I love you
We could live so happily
#12)
(Come on, boy, on the double!
Get in step, boy
Come on now, march!
March!
Your mama's a long ways off, boy, so stop your crying
March!
Get in step, boy!
Left, right, left, right
I said get in step, boy)
#13)
Though I see the danger there
If there's a chance for me then I don't care
#14)
My darling, my darling, my darling
Do you see that star in the blue?
Each night I will give it a message
And the star will give it to you
#15)
Listen to the bird who sings it to the tree
And then when you've heard him see if you agree
#16)
Lose your dreams and you
Will lose your mind
#17)
Well, I would feel ten feet tall if you were at my side
Ain't nothin' in this world I couldn't do
The kings would give up thrones to be in love for just one hour like me
#18)
(And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten)
#19)
Believe me, honey, the funnies weren't funny
They didn't even make me smile
#20)
Let love come into your heart
Don't lock yourself
#21)
Why can't I accept the fact she's chosen him
And simply let them be?
#22)
Show a little tenderness before you go
Please let me feel your embrace once more
#23)
She's a pearl of a girl
I guess that's what you might say
I guess her folks brought her up that way
#24)
I'd give you everything and more and that's for sure
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
How many times I wondered
It still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it or think of it
It's life, and you just got to play the game
#T1)
You know where to put the cork!
#T2)
