We've already said...goodbye.
Since you gotta go, oh, you had better go now.
Go now, go now.
Go now.
Before you see me cry.
I don't want you to tell me just what you intend to do now.
'Cause how many times do I have to tell you, darlin' darlin',
I'm still in love with you now.
Whoaaa.

We've already said...so long.
I don't want to see you go, oh, you had better go now.
Go now, go now.
Go now.
Don't you even try.
Telling me that you really don't want it to end this way.
But, darlin' darlin', can't you see I want you to stay.
Yeahhh.

Since you gotta go, oh, you had better go now.
Go now, go now.
Go now.
Before you see me cry.
I don't want you to tell me just what you intend to do now.
But how many times do I have to tell you, darlin' darlin',
I'm still in love, still in love with you now.

I don't wanna see you go, but darlin', you'd better go now.

I'll sing to the sun in the sky,
I'll sing till the sun rises high,
Carnival time is here,
Magical time of year,
And as the time draws near,
Dreams lift my heart!

I'll sing as I play my guitar,
I'll cling to a dream from afar,
Will love come my way,
This Carnival day,
And stay here in my heart?

Will true love come my way,
On this Carnival day,
Or will I be alone with my dream?

. . .


The way you look at her
Is the way you use to look at me
When things were different
Too many changes have gone down
Strange vibrations all around
Makes me think perhaps
Our love ain't right
So ask your heart and soul
They will surely know
If you still love me
No break down is too big
For you not to dig
The kind of love I'm putting down

It all adds up now
Two and two are really four
It all adds up now
My heart knows the score

Put me in your loving bag
Please don't say I am a drag
I gave you more than life itself
So if you can walk away
Love will come another day
In a new disguise
Maybe you're the kind of guy
All you want to do is make me cry
Sometimes I wonder why today

. . .


I've been trying
To make you love me
But everything I try
Just takes you further from me
You don't love me
So you treat me cruel
But no matter how you hurt me
I'll always be your fool

[Chorus:]
If you don't want me forever
And if you don't need me forever
And if you can't love me forever
Take me for a little while
So I can hold you baby
(For a little while)
So I can make you want me

I've got to stop it
There should be a law
Cause every time you put me down
I love you more
And I feel so helpless
And it ain't funny
Cause deep inside I know
You're never gonna love me

. . .


If I listen long enough to you
I'd find the way to believe
That it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight faced
While I cried
Still I looked to find
The reason to believe

Someone like you makes it hard
To live without somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
And never thinking of myself

If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find the way
To leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight faced
While I cried
Still I looked to find
The reason to believe

If I listen long enough to you
I'd find the way to believe
That it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight faced
While I cried
Still I looked to find
The reason to believe

Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

You that never done nothing
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly

Like the Judas of old
You lie and deceive
This world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain

You can fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As the young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud

You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
A fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
And I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you did

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death will come soon
Well I will follow your casket
In a pale afternoon
Well I'll watch while you're lowered
Into your death's bed
And I'll stand over your grave
Till I'm sure that you're dead

. . .


Do you believe in magic
In a young girl's heart
How the music can free her
Whenever it starts
And it's magic
If the music is groovy
And it makes you feel happy
Like an old time movie
I'll tell you about the magic
That'll free your soul
But it's like trying to tell a stranger
About a rock 'n' roll
If you believe in magic

Don't bother to choose
If it's jug band music
Or rhythm and blues
Just go and listen
It'll start with a smile
That won't wipe off your face
No matter how hard you try
Your feet start tapping
And you can't seem to find
How you got there
So just go blow your mind

If you believe in magic
Come along with me
We'll dance until morning
'Til there's just you and me
and maybe if the music is right
I'll meet you tomorrow
And we'll go late at night
And we'll go out dancing
Baby, then you'll see
How the magic's in the music
And the music's in me, yeah
Do you believe in magic

Believe in the magic of a young girl's soul
Believe in the magic of a rock 'n' roll
Believe in the magic that will set you free
Do you believe like I believe
Do you believe like I believe
Do you believe like I believe
Do you believe like I believe

Last night I was in heaven today I'm still on a cloud in his arms I was in
Heaven and I didn't know what it was all about when he walked out the hurt
Walked in I guess I wasn't ready for love
Last night I thought I was gain today I feel so ashamed if he only knew I need
Him again he would come and ease my pain when he walked out the hurt walked in
I guess I wasn't ready for love


He said that he loved me he told me he'd protect me he told me he needed me but
I was to blind to see yeah I was to blind to see
Last night I was in heaven but it was hell when he walked out the hurt walked
In I guess that I wasn't ready for love
Wasn't ready wasn't ready

. . .


A chair is still a chair
Even when there's no one sitting there
But a chair is not a house
And a house is not a home
When there's no one there
To hold you tight
And no one there
You kiss good night

A room is still a room
Even when there's nothing there but room
But a room is not a house
And a house is not a home
When the two of us
Are far apart
And one of us
Has a broken heart

Now and then
I call your name
And suddenly your face appears
But it's just a cracy game
When it ends it ends in tears
Darling have a house
Don't let one mistake
Keep us apart

I'm not meant to live alone
Turn my house into a home
When I climb the stairs
And tur the key
Oh please be there
Still in love with me

Sebeqabele gqi thapha bathi nguqo ngqothwane

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable stars

This is my quest, to follow that star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To fight for the right without question or pause
To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause
And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star

. . .


Children playing in a park with a ball, teddy bears,and dolls if you watch them
Very close then you see there's a love for all dancing through the light music
Only they can hear they can close their eyes knowing there's nothing to fear
They can't see a thing whistle through the trees cos' they are still children
They are still children


Now their time has come and gone they are grown all to soon it seems children
In their land and dreams dancing through the light music that only they can
Hear they can close their eyes and know there's nothing to fear I wish that
Time stood still so they would never feel the pain of not being children I wish
That time stood still so they would never feel I wish that time stood still
