I like the feel of your name on my lips
And I like the sound of your sweet gentle kiss
The way that your fingers run through my hair
And how your scent lingers even when you're not there

And I like the way your eyes dance when you laugh
And how you enjoy your two-hour bath
And how you've convinced me to dance in the rain

Chica cha ha ha
Chica cha ha ha
Chica cha ha ha
Chica cha ha ha
Chica cha ha ha

No matter what they tell us
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach us
What we believe is true

No matter what they call us
However they attack
No matter where they take us
We'll find our own way back

I was lost and alone
Trying to grow, making my way down that long winding road
Had no reason, no rhyme
Like a song out of time
And there you were, standing in front of my eyes

How could I be such a fool
To let go of love and break all the rules
Girl when you walked out that door
left a hole in my heart
And now I know for sure

Didn't they say that I would make a mistake
Didn't they say you were gonna be trouble
People told me you were too much to take
I could see it, I didn't wanna know
I let you in and you let me down
You pushed me up and you turned my whole life around
I could feel that I had no where to go
I was alone, how was I too know that..

It's the sign of the times, girl
Sad songs on the radio
It's the sign of the times, girl
As the leaves begin to go
But all these signs now,
showing on my face
Proving me wrong, taking it's place

And I pray to God
That there's more that we can do, yeah
And I pray to God
That there's more that we can show

(Arrican voices)
Let's not forget this place
Let's not neglect the our race
Let unity become
Life on earth be one

So let me take your hand
We are but grains of sand
Born throught the winds of time
Given a special sign

So let's take a stand
and look around us now, people
So let's take a stand

Smile, an everlasting smile
A smile can bring you near to me
Don't ever let me find you wrong
Cause that would bring a tear to me
This world has lost it's glory
Lets start a brand new story
Now my love
You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say...

It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away

It's not time to make a change
Just relax--take it easy
You're still young--that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want, you can marry
Look at me--I am old
But I'm happy

I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To become when you've found
Something going on

I've got to tell you
Girl you're in danger
No one can save you now
You're going to be mine somehow
You didn't know me
But to me you're no stranger
Saw you each day every week
I was too shy to speak
I loved you long ago
I loved you even though
You never looked my way
But now I've got to say..

Oh Carol, gotta make you mine
Carol, it'll work out fine
I know it's love, I know it's love for real

Weeks, day, hours, minutes
('till I'll be home).

A kiss on the cheek in the old town park
Carved your name in the shape of a heart
Walked together, hand in hand
I didn't feel the rain

And there's a picture, girl
That hangs inside my mind
And there's a letter, girl
Saying I'm doing fine
And there's a picture, girl

You're the key to my life...

Rain on the window covers the trace
Of all the tears that I've had to waste
And now I'm missing you so
And I won't let you go away
Stain on the desktop where coffee cups lay
And memories of you forever will stay
And the scent of your perfume
And the smile on your face will remain...

Girl when you hold me
How you control me
You bend and you fold me
Any way you please

It must be easy for you
To love the things that you do
But just a pastime for you
I could never be

And I never know, girl
If I should stay or go
Cos the games that you play
Are driving me away...

I cried a tear
You wiped it dry
I was confused
You cleared my mind
I sold my soul
You bought it back for me
And held the earth
You gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me

You gave me strength
To stand alone again
To face the world
Out on my own again
You put me high
Upon a pedestal

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing.

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall
You say it best... when you say nothing at all.

I know you're feeling kinda nervous
cause we're finally all alone
I know you've had some other lovers
and they left you kind of cold
and so you built a fortress
so might high and hopeless
takes a lot of time to make walls crumble
stone by stone
I'll make 'em tumble for you
'cause I've got
all the time in the world
all my life for you girl
now the timin' is right
baby we've got all night

it's a sign of the times girl
sad songs on the radio
it's a sign of the times girl
as the leaves begin to go
but all these signs now
showing on my face
proving me wrong taking its place

and I pray to god
that there's more that we can do yeah
and I pray to God
that there's more we can show
more than we can do yeah.

isn't it a wonder as a new baby cries
