(B.Wilson/J. Thomas)
with Elton John

Dancin', dancin'
Dance the night away
Dance the night away
1:30 … 2:30
Dancin' my love
How could we still be dancin'
After all these years
How could we still be laughin'
After all those tears?

How could we still be friendly
After slammin' those doors
How could we still be livin'
After all those wars

Hey, everybody
Help to make this feelin' right
Oh, won't you help to make this feelin' right

How could we still be rockin'
After all those times
How could we still be rolling'
And still be makin' rhymes?

How could we still make music
After MTV
How could we still get things crankin'
And see what we can be

Hey, everybody
Help to make this feelin' right
Oh, won't you help to make this feelin' right

Dancin', dancin'
Dance the night away
Dance the night away
1:30 … 2:30
Dancin' my love

How could we still be dancin'
After all these years
How could we still be laughin'
After all those tears
How could we tell the difference
Between right and wrong
Confusion reigned for so long
But now we found our song

Hey, everybody

. . .


(B. Wilson/A. Paley)
with Carl Wilson

I was a bum, I told a lie
I did you wrong, I made you cry

So now I'm walkin' all alone
Down the darkest streets in town
Standin' in the rain
While my tears keep fallin' down

I'm soul searchin'
How could I say goodbye?
Soul searchin'
And make you cry?

How could I leave somebody like you?
What kind of fool would be so untrue?

And I can't make any sense
No matter how I try
And all the things I've done
Come back to haunt me by and by

Soul searchin'

There's nobody like my baby
Soul searchin'
It's gonna drive me crazy

Why, oh, why
Did I ever, ever say goodbye?
I must be out of my mind
I keep walkin' and I'm wonderin'
And I'm looking for a sign

Why do I get all the bad breaks?
How could I make such stupid mistakes?

But the truth won't come to me
No matter how I rack my brain
The rain keeps fallin' down
And I'm callin' out your name

Soul searchin'
There's nobody like my baby
Soul searchin'

. . .


(B. Wilson/S. Kalinich)

I reach out across eternity
In your arms I feel the ecstasy
A little kiss you come alive in me
A love like this was meant to be
I'm on top of the world
I'm just floating on clouds

chorus:
I feel you in my heart
I feel you in my soul
You are a part of me
You make my spirit whole
You've touched me

Your gentle smile—your soft sweet skin
Your kindness moves me so deep within
When I think about you I start to spin
This love of ours has always been
I can dance on a star
I can sing it out loud

repeat chorus

Every thought is you
You're my dream come true
Beyond time—beyond space
It's your face—I need you

You're my life the missing harmony
Embracing me so tenderly
Out of all the possibilities
It's me for you and it's you for me
You're the joy of my life
Your love takes me so high

repeat chorus

I can't breathe, I can't sleep
I'm in love so deep
Time stands still
What a thrill
My sweet girl, I love you

Touch me my girl

. . .


(B. Wilson/A. Paley)

I couldn't believe the sensation when you kissed my face
The look in your eyes and the feelin' of your embrace
I try to be strong but that isn't so easy for me
I wish I could figure what this thing would turn out to be

Am I gettin' in over my head?
It's gettin' deeper all the time
Yes I'm gettin' in over my head
And it's scarin' me right outta my mind

It's all I can do to keep from fallin' off the track
I try to resist you but I always keep comin' back
As a matter of fact it's so heavy I've been losin' sleep
I don't know what's happenin'
'Cause I've never been in so deep

Am I gettin' in over my head?

It's the strangest feelin' I've ever had
Yes I'm gettin' in over my head
And maybe that ain't so bad

No one could ever change my mind
I've got to see for myself this time
I just might not ever come back from this

You hold me so close I can feel the softness of your sighs
I lose all control every time you look in my eyes
I try to be cool and take it slow but I don't know how
It's makin' me wonder if anything can stop me now

Am I gettin' in over my head?
I never thought it'd be this way
Yes I'm gettin' in over my head

. . .


(B. Wilson/Additional Lyrics by Scott Bennett)
with Eric Clapton

Ooooooh

The midnight's down and the sun's all gone in the city
In the city
The sirens are hummin', everything's so gritty
It's a pity, it's a pity

chorus;
Yeah, woah
City Blues—all alone and comin' 'round your windowpane
Oh . . .
Gets me to leave then I'll catch the train and get out—yes I will
City Blues—nothing ever seems to come to no good
No

The sky is gray—everybody's gotta pay in the city
In the city
The strange loud people made a mess of the world—it wasn't pretty
It's a pity


. . .


(B. Wilson/A. Paley)

Hop in, honey, sit right by my side
I'm gonna take you on a little ride
A desert drive…out where the cactus grow
A desert drive…hey don't you wanna go?
Gotta get crankin' now, goin' on a desert drive

Throw on your sneakers, T-shirt and jeans
Better take your shades in case the rays get mean
A desert drive…we're gonna have some fun
A desert drive…out where the coyotes run
Gotta get crankin' now, goin' on a desert drive

Gotta get crankin' now, gotta get movin' now
Fasten your belt I'm takin' good care of you

bridge:
(C'mon) Let's get outta town
(C'mon) Before the sun goes down
We'll take the 5 to the 109
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind

Stopped in at Needles for a Mexican bite
Twentynine Palms is where we're stayin' tonight
A desert drive…we're gonna get some thrills
A desert drive…out in the purple hills
Gotta get crankin' now, goin' on a desert drive

Gotta get crankin' now, gotta get movin' now
Fasten your belt I'm takin' good care of you

repeat chorus

Destination Caesar's gonna catch Wayne's show
Next stop the Nugget and we'll blow some dough
A desert drive…the hottest spot in the world
A desert drive…won't see no surfer girls

Gotta get crankin' now, goin' on a desert drive
Gotta get groovin' now, goin' on a desert drive

. . .


(B. Wilson/S. Kalinich)
with Paul McCartney

As I look back at my life
As I move on through the year
Every time I reminisce
One thing rings loud and clear

I'm so grateful
A friend like you
You're the one
Who helps me make it through
All my dreams and
All my hopes to satisfy

I was lost
What could I do?
None of my wishes
Ever came through
You were there
You were there for me

A friend like you
A friend like you
You simplify me
You stand beside me

A friend like you
A friend like you
You mystify me
You lullaby me

You have courage
You risk it all
Pick me up and
Every time I fall
You inspire me
Every day of my life

I was broken
So torn in two
You showed me kindness
Finally you broke through
All my problems
All my troubles just dissolve

A friend like you
A friend like you
You are patient
You are thoughtful

A friend like you
A friend like you
You're so tender
You're so precious

I was crushed
Against the wall
I turned to you
I felt so small
So unselfish
So warm and caring are you

You have courage
You risk it all
Pick me up and
Every time I fall
You inspire me
Every day of my life

As I look back at my life
As I move on through the years
Every time I reminisce

. . .


(B. Wilson)

I wish I had a magic wand
To make wishes all come true
Help our troubled world along
Time to come to its rescue

chorus:

Make a wish, make a wish
Make it come true
Make a wish, make a wish
Your dreams pursue
It starts with me and you

No more walls to separate
No more laws to segregate
Enough food under the sun
Homes and hope for everyone

repeat chorus

Find cures for all disease
Forest growin' brand-new trees
Need clean air for us to breathe
Purify our lakes and seas

repeat chorus

One big global vision
Spinning out in space
We are all connected
With the human race

Racial peace, equality
Say goodbye to bigotry
Crowds and violence disappear
Love replaces hate and fear

repeat chorus

No more wars just harmony
In God's grand community
Keep our children home at last
All this craziness must pass

repeat chorus

Finding cures for all disease
Forest growin' brand new trees
Help our troubled world along

. . .


(B. Wilson)

Rainbow eyes
Red yellow blue
Rainbow eyes
I want you

Splashing color everywhere that you go
Fireworks explode when you cross the room
The air I breathe shivers with your perfume

Rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes
You paint the world with your love
Rainbow skies up above

Rainbow eyes
Like poetry
Rainbow eyes
Will you love me?

I wanna walk the world in colors with you
But pretty rainbow eyes when you cross my way
Confetti and balloons it's a holiday

Rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes
You paint the world with your live
Rainbow skies up above

Lavender sunset silver/pink clouds Park Avenue
Emerald green beaches scarlet skies just like turquoise blue
Oh multicolored hue
My everlasting view

Rainbow eyes
Magic melody
Rainbow eyes
Perfect fantasy

You threw me with your sweet conspiracy
In my dreams I kiss you
Take you by the hand
And in my dreams you let me be your Rainbow Man

Rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes
You paint the world with your love
Rainbow eyes
Up above
Rainbow eyes
I love you
Rainbow eyes
I love you

. . .


(B. Wilson/A. Paley)

Saturday morning in the city
Oh yes it's Saturday morning in the city
The parking lot of the market looks so crowded
And when we get all done our little shopping cart is loaded

Saturday morning in the city
Oh yes it's Saturday morning in the city
I see some young people washin' down their cars
They're headin' down to the matinee to see their movie stars

Somewhere in town the bells are ringin'
Way up in the trees the birds are singin
' "Watchya wanna do today?"

Saturday morning in the city
Oh yes it's Saturday morning in the city
No work for us until next Monday
It's time to rise and shine
We're gonna have a fun day

Saturday morning in the city
Oh yes it's Saturday morning in the city
Next door they're havin' a garage sale

Rover is barkin' now "OK here's the mail!"
Paper is here, the coffee's brewin'
Phone rings "Good mornin'! How ya doin'?
Watchya wanna do today?"

Saturday morning in the city
Saturday morning in the city
If we just lie there
We'll miss the whole day
So c'mon honey, let's get away

Boys and girls are out and about (get out of bed)
Listen to them run and shout (you sleepy head)
They're so happy school is out
'Cept the kid with the paper route

Saturday morning in the city
Oh yes it's Saturday morning in the city
The smell of barbecue blows all over town
Hey neighbor grab a chair
And sit yourself right down
So glad I got you out of bed now
Weekends are so good for your head now

. . .


(B. Wilson/D. Foster)

Once upon a time
Not so long ago
We walked hand in hand
Strangers smiled hello

Dancin' until dawn
Flowers in your hair
Magic music played
Love was everywhere

Then a dragon came, cast a spell on you
Stole your heart away
Struck me to the Earth
All the flowers died
And the sky turned gray

chorus:
Your heart's my home my kingdom and my destiny
This knight in shining armour's gonna set you free
I gotta make our fairy tale end happily
Ever after
Ever after

Couldn't sleep last night
Panic and despair
Tortured by that coarse evil in the air

What can I do
Where are you now
I was naÎve, I couldn't see
The danger there, I was deceived

repeat chorus

I'll help you fight
Take back control
Reverse that curse
And free your soul
Free your soul
Free your soul
Been a thousand years since I saw your face
Cried a million tears, ached for your embrace

Gonna search the realm—gonna rescue you
Shake you from that trance
I'll slay that dragon
Save my prince's queen
And win you with romance

Your heart's my hope, my kingdom and my destiny
This knight in shining armour's gonna set you free
I gotta make our fairy tale end happily


. . .


(B. Wilson)

I don't know why she completes me
Why I'm the guy of her dreams
I don't know why I'm her hero
I'm not even sure what love means

chorus:
Don't let her know she's an angel
Don't let her know
Don't let her know that you see
Don't let her know that she's touching me
I'm scared that she'll want to go free

I know I've tried to deceive her
Tricked her in love with me
Pretending that I don't need her
Love's full of such mystery

repeat chorus

Some things are best left unsaid
Some things should stay in your head
I scare her away with my caution
It's better that I take no action

repeat chorus

Maybe someday I'll tell her
Tell her what love means to me
Maybe some day I'll show her
The guy to make love to is me


. . .


(B. Wilson/V. Parks)

Back at that high school cotillion
Chances were one in a million
She had that angora sweater
How could I ever forget her?

She had a body you'd kill for
You hoped that she'd take the pill for
She up and said I'm a dancer
Don't tell me, you are a Cancer

And some sez it's true
It's all she can do
Take her or leave her
But let her get hold of you

I made my move to the floor
One lonely night left in store
I can still prove I am sure
She is what loving is for

The girl is the pride of fandango
The world takes my mind with a tango

A star in the night lights Topanga
Far from the lights of Tarzana

We dance for the chance of romance boy,
Ain't it the truth
You take two steps forward
Take one step right back to your youth
So long ago you were a Romeo

Went back to my Alma Mater
I asked to dance with her daughter
She said if it's not a bother
First dance is just for my father

Love can make this old world tremble
Life is someone you resemble

We dance and the mood starts to tumble
