Your eyes so dear to me Whenever you're near to me Your smile so clear to me When you were mine It's all so plain to see In this Autumn reverie Somewhere beyond the sea Dreamin' of the time (when you were mine) When I hold you in my arms so close with all my might I can tell you everything that's running through my mind When I hold you in my arms just like I do In your eyes yes it's true In your eyes I see through Your eyes so dear to me Whenever you're near to me Your smile so clear to me When you were mine

M A N O verse 1: You like the hula Can I be your hooligan? You ain't so fragile Do you need a gentleman? And I'll wait for you until you get it right You mix a little island soul with a little Rock n'roll And now you've got the Hula Rock DoeEye verse 2: Don't want no soft serve Want you hotter than a plate Bananas Foster flamin' caramel flambé And I'll swim for you to the middle of the Nile We mix a little island soul with a little Rock n'roll And now you've got the Hula Rock C'mon let's go <guitar solo> And I'll wait for you In the middle of the Nile you mix a little island soul with a little Rock n'roll I love the way you make me feel when we're alone I love the way you make me feel

I never meant to make you cry I never meant to make you doubt And if I ever said I need you so Just know I gave you all my heart I never meant to say goodbye I never meant to turn back 'round And if I never said I love you so It means I'll only break your heart CHORUS: Why can't we pretend that we're still lovers? Then we can begin to love each other I can be your man And you can be the mother of my child Darlin', I'm writing to you from far away And I wanted you to know that I think of you everyday And if there was ever any doubt that my love was pure well I hope that I can fix that with this song... CHORUS You know that my love.. My love is pure CHORUS

There's a reason for Mona Lisa's smile She won't tell them I've known it for awhile My heart is on her chest My elbow's on her dress The lawyers of L.A. are failing to impress her But I already know every smokin' detail of Mona Lisa's Smile she won't tell them I've know it for awhile My heart is on her chest My elbow's on her dress The doctors of L.A. are failing to address things But I already know every smokin' detail of Mona Lisa's Smile she won't tell them I've known it for awhile

Valona 04:46
Never told you that I loved you but I mean it just the same And if I never said I needed you Girl I'm the only one to blame You watched me drowning in the ocean I seen you light up like a flame now my head is on the menu now my heart is on a plate now your heart is on a plane Eloixa, don't you cry wild horses couldn't keep me from your side from 20,000 light years away I sing Valonas to you from my grave like murder ballads and your mama's lullabies tears run all night like trains they run all night like trains And when they bury alive with my bible by my side I'll be strumming my guitar as I look you in the eyes Just for fun And die hard like a gun The way she stared through my soul light through bullet holes rattling my ride like rain I take pleasure in the pain As sure as snow shoots off Mt. Mckinley (Denali) like a flare from an alien sun I always knew you were the one Cuz I crush hard over you And I crush hard over Cuz I crush Hard Over You

Spruce Goose 02:29

We'll make it right Hello love, I just wanted to write you this letter from far away and tell you how much i miss you. I don't get seasick much but I do get a little lovesick on this boat and I'm coming home soon

Hell's Angel 02:13
All hail the king of hell he's a private lie she'll never be mine cuz she'll never be fine God save the falling rain it's a private lie it's a part of life some say he's cryin God save you God save me All hail the king of hell he's a private lie she'll never be mine NO she'll never be fine God save the falling rain in the dark of night It's a part of life no shame in cryin' uh some say he's dyin'

Ava Gardner 05:00
All the stars above you fade into the view There'll be no melodrama There'll be no April fools I'll try to get to know you I'll even bend the rules You stood there before me genuine and true Do you understand my love? I held a little baby he look like me and you a thousand summers Indian a million Siouxie Siouxs And someday in the valley I'll trace the tracks to you Then you will say you need me the way that I need you Do you understand my love? If I promise to meet you in Heaven Will you promise to be true to me while we're together? All the stars are fading My heart's failing too Your soul remains in service while mine breaks down in two Some say they adore you And some may call you child Your lovely looks they have beguiled me your touch is so sublime Do you understand my love? CHORUS

Rio 02:53
Deep end 'til we drown Now's the time Now she's down for Later when we smash lip on Mulholland Drive Dashboard dive 'til it seafoams and swallows you up inside Like some guardian of pain Guns... No, they don't make the man Now all that really matters Is that we doin' what we can and lady you can spark this crazy love thing embedded in my heart And discover a new way of relating when I done fight fer you Like I do <guitar solo> Or maybe we could die... Even when the sun goes bad Baby would you still walk with me in pitch black?

The Outlaw 03:15
Right about now I'm about to prove my love The way I'm gonna prove my love is through this song on my soul on my soul Climbin' up the walls there ain't no turning back Go on and look into my eyes so you can feed of the respect I got fer you Girl I know Yeah I know it's all because of you I won't apologize when my eyes flow your direction Cuz everytime I see your face It's like I'm lookin at the reflection of the lies They done told me 'boutcha honey Now I realize they was wrong about you. And Now the outlaw's in And now the outlaw's in How did we come to this? Your brand is more than just a crisis Ain't nobody question how you run things Meanwhile, I need your love Honey, I need your love right now Everyday until the saints come marchin' on in do you wanna be in that number? I believe that God only knows in the next life see you next life in the next life But now the outlaw's in and now the outlaw's in and now the outlaw's in...
