I'm looking at the world through these
Candy colored glasses that I'm wearing
Staring, noticing that everything is
Just the way I'd like for it to be
So please knock before you walk into my dream
Oh the birds are dancing sky is turning ebony and gray
The trees are leaning swaying to the rhythm of the day
Horses running from the thunder rolling by
Voices screaming from their no where looking eyes
Looking at the world through these
Candy colored glasses that I'm wearing
Staring, noticing that everything is
Just the way I'd like for it to be
Knock before you walk into my dream (Knock before you walk into my dream)
The wind is singing she's running
Through the flower-covered hills
Water falling across my back and I can feel a chill
Walking over bridges clouds are down below
Talking to someone I'd like to get to know
Looking at the world through these
Candy colored glasses that I'm wearing
Staring, noticing that everything is
Just the way I'd like for it to be
Knock before you walk into my dream (Knock before you walk into my dream)
Looking at the world through these
Candy colored glasses that I'm wearing
Staring, noticing that everything is
Just the way I'd like for it to be
Knock before you walk into my dream (Knock before you walk into my dream)
Knock before you walk into my dream (Knock before you walk into my dream)

Flipping through a magazine curlers in her hair
Waiting for her nails to dry in the beauty parlor chair
Soon she's turning thirty something discontent with life
Then she turns to page one-thirty-five
And it says
There is a place where dreams come true
Just call and we'll reserve a room for you
Somewhere under the sun
There is happiness and fun
There is love for everyone
Somewhere under the sun
Somewhere under the sun
Staring out the window of the twenty-second floor
Another meeting phones are ringing surely there is more
Then he sees a vision out the corner of his eye
On a flashing neon billboard sign
And it says
There is a place where dreams come true
Just call and we'll reserve a room for you
Somewhere under the sun
There is happiness and fun
There is love for everyone
Somewhere under the sun
Somewhere under the sun
She was caught in traffic and his keys they were misplaced
They made it to the airport, both just minutes late
She dropped her attaché as she was walking to the bar
He reached to help and bumped her heart
There is a place where dreams come true
Maybe now they'll call and reserve a room for two
Somewhere under the sun
There is happiness and fun
There is love for everyone
Somewhere under the sun
Somewhere under oh
Somewhere under the sun
There is happiness and fun
There is love for everyone
Somewhere under the sun
Somewhere under the sun
Somewhere under the sun

Oh my
Opened up a can of lies
Told a tiny tale and now it's
Bye-bye
See the storyteller cry
Bluer than a blue moon sky
Thought he could deceive her
Betty knew the cheater
But she didn't tell him
Let him take his poison
Doubled the deception
Waited then she left him
Tangled up in knots
Now a heartache's all he got
Oh my
Opened up a can of lies
Told a tiny tale and now oh my
Oh it was burning love
Oh but just a flash
Oh now what he wants so much
He'll never have oh my
Bye-bye
See the storyteller cry
Bluer than a blue moon sky
Thought he could deceive her
Betty knew the cheater
But she didn't tell him
Let him take his poison
Doubled the deception
Waited then she left him
Tangled up in knots
Now a heartache's all he got
Oh my

I've been thinkin' too much
As I drive down this highway alone
Too much time on my hands
Sometimes my mind starts to roam
And it tears at my heart
Like a nightmare I pray won't come true
The thought of me ever
Having to live without you
And I break out in a sweat
And a tightness comes over my chest
And a chill runs through me
That's darker and colder than death
And I can't dam the river of tears
'Cause I'm facing my very worst fears
If I lost your love what am I thinkin' of
I'm just thinkin' too much
Oh I'm thinkin' too much
I've been thinkin' too much
As you lay asleep in my arms
And praying to heaven
To save you and keep you from harm
And it's not just for you
That I offer my humble respect
'Cause my reason to love would be gone
If you were not here
And I break out in a sweat
And a tightness comes over my chest
And a chill runs through me
That's darker and colder than death
And I can't dam the river of tears
'Cause I'm facing my very worst fears
If I lost your love what am I thinkin' of
I'm just thinkin' too much
I know that it's foolish
You'll always be with me
In his master plan I must trust
It's just that I love you so much
And I break out in a sweat
And a tightness comes over my chest
And a chill runs through me
That's darker and colder than death
And I can't dam the river of tears
'Cause I'm facing my very worst fears
If I lost your love what am I thinkin' of
I'm just thinkin' too much
I'm thinkin' too much
Oh I'm thinkin' too much
I'm just thinkin' too much

Look at them laughing they thought it was funny
Another of his foolish games
He packed up his things took just what he could carry
Said goodbye I'm going away
And there in the moment they thought it was strange
Quite unusual to understand
But things aren't always what they seem to be
And the picture he painted was not what he planned
And he's gone as long as it will take him
To find a place to rest his crazy mind
And he knows his will will not forsake him
Til he finds the thing he's dreamin'
Even though he knows that it's a
Long long way
He listens to rivers and talks to the moment
When nobody else is around
He lives in the creases between rhymes and reasons
Where magic and secrets are found
He looked at the desert and he saw the flowers
Of meadows and mountains of blue
He's danced with the silence and held onto whispers
And treasures each moment he's traveling through
And he's gone as long as it will take him
To find a place to rest his crazy mind
And he knows his will will not forsake him
Til he finds the thing he's dreamin'
Even though he knows that it's a
Long long way
And when he finds the gold
They'll come to him and circle him
Like birds up in the sky
Tearing at the peace and joy he's found
And he's gone as long as it will take him
To find a place to rest his crazy mind
And he knows his will will not forsake him
Til he finds the thing he's dreamin'
Walking on what he believes in
Deep inside his heart is screamin'
Even though he knows that it's a
Long long way
Long long way
Long long way

There's a picture in my mind
I can't get out
I can see so clear and bright
Kinda like the sunshine shining through the clouds
Imagine for a moment
Everybody happy smiling everybody everywhere
Imagine for a moment
Nobody ever has a worry nobody has a care
This big old world is spinning 'round
And there's not a solitary teardrop falling down
Think about it, think about it
Everybody come on and think about it
Think about it, think about it
Everybody come on and think about that
I walked along the water
Looked out in the ocean just as far as my eyes could see
And I began to wonder
Is there really any reason why this picture that I'm seeing
Couldn't be, couldn't be reality
If only everybody saw things the way I see
Imagine for a moment
Everybody happy smiling everybody everywhere
Imagine for a moment
Nobody ever has a worry nobody has a care
This big old world is spinning 'round
And there's not a solitary teardrop falling down
Think about it, think about it
Everybody come on and think about it
Think about it, think about it
Everybody come on and think about that
Think about it, think about it
Everybody come on and think about it
Everybody come on and think about that
Come on and think about that
Come on and think about that
Come on and think about that
Come on, think about it
Come on, think about it
Come on, think about it

What if hell is just a place down below
Then tell me why should I go
When I could just go back to California
Just go back to California
And if heaven is just a place up in the sky
Then tell me why should I go
When I could drive my car to Colorado
Drive my car to Colorado
And if Dorothy and little Toto met the wizard because
Well they found a place called Oz
Well I could pack my bags and fly to Kansas
Pack my bags and fly to Kansas
And if paradise is just a place where I'm happy all the time
Frolicking in the sunshine oh and the peacefulness I find
Well it's sweeter than red wine
Then I might as well stay here and love you
Think I'll just stay here and love you
So let the ocean swallow California
Mountains fall in Colorado
Let tornadoes rip through Kansas
I'll just stay right here and love you
Who needs California
And it's way too cold in Colorado
And Kansas, well it's too flat
Yeah I think I'll just stay here and love you
And your amber waves
I think I'll just stay here and love you
What a trip that would be
. . .

Well it's amazing and I'm O.K.
I've got a rhyme and I've just got my reasons
But if there's a better way
Well it's something that I'd love to find
Slip away to my secret place
There is something I can believe in
I'm alone but I'm not afraid
Just need to rearrange my mind
And oh can't you see me,
Oh can't you hear me
Oh I know you feel me please believe me
I'd rather be close to you
I'd rather be holdin' on to something I can hold on to
I'd rather be close to you
Even if it is make believe
You find the numbers you paint the picture
Then pretty soon you begin to see
As it all just appears so slow
And how wonderful it would be
Stumble into the hidden pleasures
Making time and a memory
Please don't tell me you have to go
And oh can't you see me,
Oh can't you hear me
Oh I know you feel me please believe me
I'd rather be close to you
I'd rather be holdin' on to something I can hold on to
I'd rather be close to you
Oh can't you see me,
Oh can't you hear me
Oh I know you feel me please believe me
I'd rather be
I'd rather be
I'd rather be close to you
I'd rather be holdin' on to something I can hold on to
I'd rather be close to you
I'd rather be close to you
I'd rather be
I'd rather be
I'd rather be
I'd rather be

I'd like to think this love will last forever
I believe we'll always be together
But if your heart turns cold
And you ever get the urge to go
Let me be the last to know (Let me be the last to know)
Let me be the last to know (Let me be the last to know)
The last to know
You say you love me and I know you do
But if a shade of doubt creeps up on you
Just leave me in the dark
Here with my trusting heart
Let me be the last to know (Let me be the last to know)
Let me be the last to know (Let me be the last to know)
The last to know
The last to know
I'd hate to lose you please don't get me wrong
But I'll get the idea when you're gone
Baby please don't go
Let me be the last to know (Let me be the last to know)
Let me be the last to know (Let me be the last to know)
The last to know
The last to know
. . .

Sometimes when I sleep
I can see you walkin' back to me
And sometimes I wake up
'Cause I swear that I felt your touch
And emotions overcome me
And the darkness is so cold
Oh I light a candle, watch it burn
I feel the angels come and fill this room
Oh baby when you're gone, I miss you so much
I do the only thing I can do
I pray for you
Every minute of the day
I can clearly see your face
And every minute we're apart
Oh you know it just breaks my heart
I'm so lonely but it's okay
'Cause I know we'll be together again
Oh I light a candle, watch it burn
I feel the angels come and fill this room
Baby when you're gone, I miss you so much
I do the only thing I can do
Oh I pray for you
I pray for you
Oh I light a candle, watch it burn
I feel the angels come and fill this room
Oh baby when you're gone, I miss you so much
I do the only thing I can do
I pray for you
I do the only thing I can do
Please hold her and protect her
Until she's back here in my arms again
Oh and tell her, how I love her
And I'll be walking right here forever
Amen

Puttin' on the ritz, love the way it fits
Electronic town
Six million dollar, silver studded collar
Hydraulic sound
Let it all let go tonight (let it go)
Isn't this just outta site
Puerto Rican ladies, platinum Mercedes
Light your cigar
Bodies bump and grindin', movin' through the blindin'
Fluorescent bar
Let it all let go tonight (let it go)
Isn't this just outta site
Everybody's groovin', limousine is movin'
Follow the buzz
Vinyl and elastic, even though it's plastic
This could be love
Let it all let go tonight (let it go)
Isn't this just outta site (let it go)
Let it all let go tonight (let it go)
Isn't this just outta site
Isn't this just outta site

You're looking at me and it's easy to see that you want me
I don't hide things well
So I bet you can tell that I want you too
We sit for a while then both of us smile
As the band starts to play
I ask you to dance we know that romance
Is only a rumba away
Put your hand in mine
Lay your head on my shoulder
Then when the song ends
We can pretend it's not over
As our bodies oh they come together and we sway
Let's hold on to the night 'cause the rest of our life
Is only a rumba away
As I hold you close I smell the rose that's in your hair
I start to imagine that we are in heaven alone somewhere
Your touch is revealing what we are feeling no one has to say
Under the stars above we both know that love
Is only a rumba away
Put your hand in mine
Lay your head on my shoulder
Then when the song ends
We can pretend it's not over
As our bodies oh they come together and we sway
Let's hold on to the night 'cause the rest of our life
Is only a rumba away
Put your hand in mine
Lay your head on my shoulder
Then when the song ends
We can pretend it's not over
As our bodies oh they come together and we sway
Let's hold on to the night 'cause the rest of our life
Is only a rumba away
Let's hold on to the night 'cause the rest of our life
Is only a rumba away
