Somebody said you knew me when
Well I've been a long long way since then
But if I could go back there again
Baby would you come back
Forget the rings love put us through
Cause paradise shining like a jewel
Was waiting so patiently for you
Oh Babe
I was driving on against the wall
Hitting it like a wave
Trying not to feel at all
Oh but
Chorus
You don't die from love
Your heart won't breat
You don't die from love
It just fades away
You hit the ground
You touch the sky
The tears will come
You don't die from love
We need to reason with your eyes
Take me where I loose track of time
I didn't mean to be unkind
Baby don't you know that
I need to breathe the air you breathe
I'll show you the dreams that no one's seen
Put yourself back where you want to be
Repeat Chorus
You don't die from love
Your world won't end
You live to see
It all again
Your little heart
Will open wide
The tears will come
You don't die from love
You don't know what it too to leave you
You don't know what it did to me
Oh Oh
Every steps that I took just told me
That the battle was easy for me
Baby just let me make it up to you
I'll make it on up to you
I'll make it on up to you
Repeat Chorus
The mornin' sun touched lightly
On the eyes of Lucy Jordan
In her white suburban bedroom
In her white suburban town
As she lay there, neath the covers
Dreamin of a thousand lovers'
Til the world turned orange
And the room went spinnin' round
At the age of thirty-seven
She realised she'd never ride
Through Paris in a sportscar
With the warm wind in her hair
And she let the phone keep ringing
As she sat there softly singin'
Pretty nurs'ry rhymes she'd memorised
In her daddy's easy chair
Her husband he was off to work
And the kids were off to school
And there were on so many ways
For her to spend the day
She could clean the house for hours
Or rearrange the flowers
Or run naked down the shady street
Screamin' all the way
The evenin' sun touched gently on
The eyes of Lucy Jordan
On the rooftop where she climbed
When all the laughter grew too loud
And she bowed and curtseyed to the man
Who reached and offered her his hand
And led her down to the long white car
That waited past the crowd
Bless the Beasts and the Children
Bless the beasts and the children
For in this world they have no voice
They have no choice
Bless the beats and the children
For the world can never be
The world they see
Light their way
When the darkness surrounds them
Give them light
Let it shine all around them
Chorus
Bless the beasts and the children
Give them shelter from the storm
Keep them safe
Keep them warm
Keep them safe
Light their way
When the darkness surrounds them
Give them light
Let it shine all around them
Repeat Chorus
She starts the day
Paints on another happy face
Gets all dressed up
To meet her friends at the usual place
All the while she's longing (Ahhh)
Just wants to belong (Ahhh)
Chorus
If you change the color of your world
And you change the fears you hold inside
Will you find what you are looking for
Change for you, not for me
Found everything she wants
That money can buy
But she is lost
Somewhere in between the lines
Ohh inside she's crying (Ahhh)
Her whole world is dying (Ahhh)
Repeat Chorus
Change not for herself
For someone else
The way she walks
The way she talks
The way she smiles
What she believes
The way she breathes
Repeat Chorus
Change for you
Don't change for me
Change for you
Don't change for me
Don't cry
Don't you cry
Don't be sorry
Don't cry
Don't you cry
Don't be sorry
Wide-eyed you hypnotize me
With your sadness
Let's go so I can have
Some sweet sweet gladness
Why don't you forget about him?
Drop the curtain
Why don't you try someone else?
How can you be so certain?
Don't cry
Don't you cry
Don't be sorry
He's gone
So don't deny
No, don't you worry
Your room will very soon
Be like a shrine
Open wide your windows
You can make it shine
He maybe a second choice
He's not offended
No one can believe it
When their love has ended
Don't cry
Don't you cry
Put yourself in his shoes
And you'll see he's certain
Why don't you try someone else?
How can you be so certain?
Don't cry
Don't you cry
Don't be sorry
Don't cry
Don't you cry
No, don't you worry
