Rod Stewart Album

You're sweet as a honey bee
But like a honey bee stings
You've gone and left my heart in pain
All you left is our favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
It used to bring sweet memories
Of a tender love that used to be

Now it's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

A sentimental fool am I
To hear a old love song
And wanna cry
But the melody keeps haunting me
Reminding me how in love we used to be
Keep hearing the part that used to touch my heart
Saying together forever
Breaking up never

It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

Precious memories keep a lingering on
Everytime I hear our favorite song
Now you're gone
Left this emptiness
I only reminisce
The happiness we spent
We used to dance on the music
Make romance through the music

It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

La la la la la la
La la la la la la

My Cherie Amour, lovely as a summer's day
My Cherie Amour, distant as the Milky Way
My Cherie Amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine

In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street
I've been near you, but you never notice me
My Cherie Amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore
That behind that little smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine

Maybe someday you'll see my face among the crowd
Maybe someday I'll share your little distant cloud
Oh, Cherie Amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine

La la la la la la
La la la la la la

My love, I'll never find the words, my love
To tell you how I feel, my love
Mere words could not explain

Precious love, you held my life within your hands
Created everything I am
Taught me how to live again

Only you cared when I needed a friend
Believed in me through thick and thin
This song is for you filled with gratitude and love

God bless you, you make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you, you make me feel brand new
I sing this song 'cause you make me feel brand new

My love, whenever I was insecure
You built me up and made me sure
You gave my pride back to me

Precious friend, with you I'll always have a friend
Someone who I can depend
To walk a path that sometimes bends

Without you life has no meaning or rhyme
Like notes to a song out of time
How can I repay you for having faith in me?

God bless you, you make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you, you make me feel brand new
I sing this song 'cause you, you make me feel brand new

I sing this song for you, for you
I'll sing it to you, darling
I'll sing it to you everyday

Mm, your love is lifting me higher
Than I ever been lifted before.
Ooh, baby, keep it up, sweet baby.
Quench my desire,
And I'll be at your side forever more.
'Cause your love is liftin' me higher and higher.
Your love keeps on liftin' me, oh, higher, higher.

Now once I was down-hearted,
And disappointment was my closest friend.
But then you came,
And he soon departed.
And you know I never seen,
I haven't seen his face again!

Your love is liftin' me
Higher, higher, higher, higher.
Your love is liftin' me
Higher, higher, higher and higher.

Your love keeps liftin' me,
Keeps on liftin' me.
Your love keeps liftin' me
Higher, higher.

Your love keeps liftin' me,
Keeps on liftin' me.
Your love keeps liftin' me
Higher, higher.

So glad I finally found you, babe.
You're the best for these old arms.
With those sweet, sweet lovin' arms around me,
I tell you I don't need,
I don't need,
I-oh-I don't need no disguise, no!

Your love is liftin' me,
Keeps on liftin' me.
Your love keeps liftin' me
Higher, higher.

Your love keeps liftin' me,
Keeps on liftin' me.
Your love keeps liftin' me
Higher, higher.

Your love is liftin' me,
Whoa, higher, higher, higher, higher,
Higher, higher, higher, higher.
Gettin' higher, gettin' higher,
Gettin' higher, gettin' higher.
You lift me, you take me
Higher and higher.
Higher, higher, yeah, higher, higher!
Keeps on liftin' me.
Keeps on liftin' me.
Keeps on liftin' me.
Keeps on liftin' me.

Higher, higher, oh, higher, higher,
Higher, higher, higher, higher,
Higher, higher, higher,
Higher and higher...

People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue

So take a good look at my face
You'll my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

I need you, need you

Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she might be cute, she's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one

So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you

Outside I'm masquerading, inside my hope is fading
I'm just a clown, just a clown since you put me down
My smile is my makeup I wear since my breakup with you

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, take a good look at my face
Yeah, you'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Baby, baby, baby, baby, take a good look at my face
Yeah, you'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears, the tracks of my tears
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me

Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me

Each time we meet, love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be?

So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me
And that you'll always let it be me

Each time we meet, love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be?

So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me
Let it be me, let it be me

Let it be me, let it be me
Why don't you let it?
Why don't you let it?

Hoverin' by my suitcase
Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
Heavy rain fallin'
Seems I hear your voice callin' it's all right

A rainy night in Georgia
Such a rainy night in Georgia
It seems like it's rainin' all over the world
And I feel like it's rainin' all over the world

Neon signs are flashin'
Taxi cabs and buses passin' through the night
A distant moanin' of a train
Seems to play a sad refrain to the night

A rainy night in Georgia
Such a rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over this world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world

How many times I've wondered
It still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it or think of it
It's life and you just gotta play the game, play the game

I find me a place in a box car
So I take my guitar to pass some time
Late at night when it's hard to rest
I hold your picture to my chest and I feel fine

But it's a rainy night in Georgia
Baby, it's a rainy night in Georgia
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
Kinda lonely now 'cause it's rainin' all over the world

It's rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin'
Rainin' all over the world
I'm cold and I'm lonely and it's rainin'
Rainin' all over the world
It's rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin' all over the world

As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
But happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion

What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind, maybe

The roots of love grow all around
But for me they come a-tumbling down
Everyday heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer

I walk in shadows, searching for light
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight
Hoping and praying for someone who cares
Always moving but going nowhere

What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind, help me please

I'm searching though I don't succeed
For someone's love, there's a growing need
All is lost, there's no place for beginning
All that's left is an unhappy ending

Now what becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind

I'll be searching everywhere just to find someone to care
I'll be looking everyday, I know I've gotta find a way
Nothing's gonna stop me now, I'll find a way somehow

I'll be searching everywhere just to find someone who cares
I'll be looking everyday, I know I've gotta find a way
What becomes of the brokenhearted?

I don't like you but I love you
Seems that I'm always thinking of you
Oh, you treat me badly, I love you madly

You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby

I don't want you but I need you
Don't want to kiss you but I need to
Oh, you do me wrong now, my love is strong now

You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby

I love you and all I want you to do is
Just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
Tighter, tighter

I wanna leave you, don't wanna stay here
Don't wanna spend another day here
Oh, I wanna split now, I can't quit now

You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby

I love you and all I want you to do is
Just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me

You've really got a hold on me
I said you've really got a hold on me, baby
You've really got a hold on me

Oh, you've really got a hold on me
I said you've really got a hold on me

I don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about the science books
Don't know much about the French I took

All I do know is I love you
And I wonder if you love me too
What a wonderful world this could be

I don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule is for

But I do know one and one is two
And I wonder if you love me too
Oh, what a wonderful world this could be

Now I don't claim to be an 'A' student
But that's what I'm trying to be
But by being an 'A' student, baby
I could win your love for me

I don't know much about history
I don't know much about biology
I don't know much about the science book
I don't know much about the French I took

All I know is that I love you
And I wonder if you love me too
Oh, what a wonderful world this could be

All I know is that I love you
And I wonder if you love me too
Oh, what a wonderful world this could be

It's a wonderful world
It's a wonderful world
It's a wonderful world
What a wonderful world
What a wonderful world

(If you don't know me by now)
You will never, never, never know me, Whooooa

All the things that we've been through
You should understand me
Like I understand you
Now baby, I know the difference
Between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothin'
To upset our happy home
(Ooooooh) Oh, don't get so excited
When I come home a little late at night
'Cause we only act like children
When we argue fuss and fight

(If you don't know me by now)
If you don't know me by now
(You will never, never, never know me)
You will never, never, never know me, whooooa
(If you don't know me by now)
If you don't know me, baby
(You will never, never, never know me)
No you won't, ah-hey

We've all got our own funny moods
I've got mine
Woman you've got yours too
Just trust in me
Like I trust in you
As long as we've been together
That should be so easy to do
Just get yourself together
Or we might as well say goodbye
What good is a love affair
When you can't see eye to eye, ooooh

(If you don't know me by now)
If you don't
If you don't know me, baby
(You will never, never, never know me, Whooooa)
Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey-hey-hey
(If you don't know me by now)
If you don't know me by now
(You will never, never, never know me)
No you won't, ah-hey...

Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by
I say to myself you're such a lucky guy
To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true
Out of all of the fellas in the world she belongs to you

But it was just my imagination running away with me
It was just my imagination running away with me

Soon we'll be married and raise a family
In a cozy, little home, in the country with two children, maybe three
I tell you, I can visualize it all
This couldn't be a dream for too real it all seems

But it was just my imagination, once again running away with me
It was just my imagination running away with me

Every night, on my knees I pray
Dear Lord, hear my plea

Or is it just my imagination, once again running away with me?
It was just my imagination running away with me

Just my imagination running away with me
It was just my imagination running away with me

Just my imagination
Just my imagination
Just my imagination
