Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see All your life You were only waiting for this moment to be free Blackbird fly, blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night Blackbird fly, blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise You were only waiting for this moment to arise You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Well, I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday Parking by the lake and there was not another car in sight And I never had a girl who looking any better than you did And all the kids at school, they were wishing they were me that night And now our bodies are oh so close and tight It never felt so good, it never felt so right And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife Come on, hold tight Come on, hold tight Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night I can see paradise by the dashboard light Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night (In the deep dark night) Paradise by the dashboard light We're gonna go all the way tonight We're gonna go all the way, and tonight's the night We're gonna go all the way tonight We're gonna go all the way, and tonight's the night We're gonna go all the way tonight We're gonna go all the way, and tonight's the night We're gonna go all the way tonight We're gonna go all the way, and tonight's the night Stop right there I gotta know right now Before we go any further Do you love me? Will you love me forever? Do you need me? Will you never leave me? Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life? Will you take me away, will you make me your wife? Let me sleep on it (sleep on it) Baby, baby, let me sleep on it (sleep on it) Let me sleep on it I'll give you an answer in the morning I gotta know right now Do you love me? (Do you, do you love me?) Will you love me forever? Do you need me? (Do you, do you need me?) Will you never leave me? Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life? (Do you never leave me?) Will you take me away, and will you make me your wife? (Do you, do you?) Do you love me, and will you love me forever? Let me sleep on it Will you love me forever? Let me sleep on it Will you love me forever? I couldn't take it any longer Lord, I was crazed And when the feeling came upon me Like a tidal wave I started swearing to my God And on my mother's grave That I would love you to the end of time I swore I would love you to the end of time So now I'm praying for the end of time to hurry up and arrive 'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you I don't think that I can really survive I'll never break my promise or forget my vow But God only knows what I can do right now I'm praying for the end of time It's all that I can do (all that I can do) Prayin' for the end of time So I can end my time with you (you, yeah) It was long ago and it was far away (It never felt so good, it never felt so right) And it was so much better than it is today (And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife) It was long ago and it was far away (It never felt so good, it never felt so right) And it was so much better than it is today (And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife) It was long ago and it was far away (It never felt so good, it never felt so right) And it was so much better than it is today (And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife) Felt so right Felt so good Paradise (yeah)

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday The Regular crowd shuffles in There's an old man sitting next to me Makin' love to his tonic and gin He says, "Son, can you play me a memory I'm not really sure how it goes But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete When I wore a younger man's clothes" La la la, de de da La la, de de da da dum Sing us a song, you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well, we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feelin' alright Now John at the bar is a friend of mine He gets me my drinks for free And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke But there's someplace that he'd rather be And the waitress is practicing politics As the businessmen slowly get stoned Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness But it's better than drinkin' alone The piano, it sounds like a carnival And the microphone smells like a beer And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar And say, "Man, what are you doin' here" Oh, la la la, de de da La la, de de da da dum Sing us a song you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well we're all in the mood for a melody and you got us Feeling alright

Guess mine is not the first heart broken My eyes are not the first to cry I'm not the first to know There's just no getting over you I know I'm just a fool who's willing To sit around and wait for you But baby, can't you see There's nothing else for me to do? I'm hopelessly devoted to you But now There's nowhere to hide Since you pushed my love aside I'm out of my head, hopelessly devoted to you Hopelessly devoted to you Hopelessly devoted to you My head is saying, "Fool, forget him" My heart is saying, "Don't let go" Hold on to the end That's what I intend to do I'm hopelessly devoted to you But now There's nowhere to hide Since you pushed my love aside I'm out of my head, hopelessly devoted to you Hopelessly devoted to you Hopelessly devoted to you
