Poetic Lyrics


        Time In A Bottle by Jim Croce

        If I could save time in a bottle
        The first thing that I'd like to do
        Is to save every day 'til eternity passes away
        Just to spend them with you.

        If I could make days last forever
        If words could make wishes come true
        I'd save every day like a treasure and then
        Again I would spend them with you

        But there never seems to be enough time to do the
        Things you want once you find them
        I've looked around enough to know that
        You're the one I want to go through time with

        If I had a box just for wishes
        And dreams that had never come true
        The box would be empty except for the memories
        Of how they were answered by you

        But there never seems to be enough time to do the
        Things you want once you find them
        I've looked around enough to know
        That you're the one I want to go through time with







        The Dance by Tony Arata (performed by Garth Brooks)

        Looking back on the memory of
        The dance we shared 'neath the stars above
        For a moment all the world was right
        How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

        And now I'm glad I didn't know
        The way it all would end the way it all would go
        Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
        But I'd of had to miss the dance

        Holding you I held everything
        For a moment wasn't I the king
        But if I'd only known how the king would fall
        Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all

        My life is better left to chance
        I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance







        If Tomorrow Never Comes by Kim Blazy and Garth Brooks

        Sometimes late at night
        I lie awake and watch her sleeping
        She's lost in peaceful dreams
        So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
        And the thought crosses my mind
        If I never wake up in the morning
        Would she ever doubt the way I feel
        About her in my heart

        If tomorrow never comes
        Will she know how much I loved her
        Did I try in every way to show her every day
        That she's my only one
        And if my time on earth were through
        And she must face the world without me
        Is the love I gave her in the past
        Gonna be enough to last
        If tomorrow never comes

        'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
        Who never knew how much I loved them
        Now I live with the regret
        That my true feelings for them never were revealed
        So I made a promise to myself
        To say each day how much she means to me
        And avoid that circumstance
        Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel

        So tell that someone that you love
        Just what you're thinking of
        If tomorrow never comes







        The Sound Of Silence by Paul Simon

        Hello darkness, my old friend,
        I've come to talk with you again,
        Because a vision softly creeping,
        Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
        And the vision that was planted in my brain
        Still remains
        Within the sound of silence.

        In restless dreams I walked alone
        Narrow streets of cobblestone,
        'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
        I turned my collar to the cold and damp
        When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
        That split the night
        And touched the sound of silence.

        And in the naked light I saw
        Ten thousand people, maybe more.
        People talking without speaking,
        People hearing without listening,
        People writing songs that voices never share
        And no one dare
        Disturb the sound of silence.

        "Fools" said I, "You do not know
        Silence like a cancer grows.
        Hear my words that I might teach you,
        Take my arms that I might reach you."
        But my words like silent raindrops fell,
        And echoed
        In the wells of silence

        And the people bowed and prayed
        To the neon god they made.
        And the sign flashed out its warning,
        In the words that it was forming.
        And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
        are written on the subway walls
        And tenement halls."
        And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.







        The Logical Song

        When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
        a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
        And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
        joyfully, playfully watching me.
        But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
        logical, responsible, practical.
        And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
        clinical, intellectual, cynical.


        There are times when all the world's asleep,
        the questions run too deep
        for such a simple man.
        Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
        I know it sounds absurd
        but please tell me who I am.

        Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
        liberal, fanatical, criminal.
        Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
        acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!

        At night, when all the world's asleep,
        the questions run so deep
        for such a simple man.
        Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
        I know it sounds absurd
        but please tell me who I am.







        Blowin' In The Wind by Bob Dylan

        How many roads must a man walk down
        Before you call him a man?
        Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
        Before she sleeps in the sand?
        Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
        Before they're forever banned?
        The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
        The answer is blowin' in the wind.

        How many times must a man look up
        Before he can see the sky?
        Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
        Before he can hear people cry?
        Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
        That too many people have died?
        The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
        The answer is blowin' in the wind.

        How many years can a mountain exist
        Before it's washed to the sea?
        Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
        Before they're allowed to be free?
        Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
        Pretending he just doesn't see?
        The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
        The answer is blowin' in the wind.
