There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me
I'm little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me
Although he may not be the man
Some girls think of as handsome
To my hear he carries the key
Won't you tell him please
To put on some speed
Follow my lead
Oh how I need
Someone to watch over me
Won't you tell him please
To put on some speed
Follow my lead
Oh how I need

I believe in love
I believe it every time I see you
Walking by my side
It's something I can't hide
I believe in love
I believe it every time I hear
Your laughter flow with mine
Oh I can see it shine
Like a super nova star
Like a glow worm in a jar
The light is just the same
And love is not a game
So believe in me my friend
And this joy will never end
In a hundred years or two
I'll still be loving you
I believe in ghosts
I believe in Frankenstein the most
And even Halloween
The moon is cheesy green
Like a super nova star
Like a glow worm in a jar
The light is just the same
And love is not a game
So believe me my friend
And this joy will never end
In a hundred years or two
I'll still be loving you
I believe in love
I believe it every time I see you
I believe in love
I believe it every time I see you

Sometimes I wonders where I've been
Who I am, do I fit in
Make belivin' is hard alone
Out here on my own
We're always provin' who we are
Always reachin' for that risin' star
To guide me far and shine me home,
Out here on my own.
When I'm down and feelin' blue
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Oh baby, be strong for me,
Baby, belong to me
Help me through, help me need you.
Until the morning sun appears
Making light of all my fears,
I dry the tears I've never shown
Out here on my own.
When I'm down and feelin' blue
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Oh baby, be strong for me,
Baby, belong to me
Help me through, help me need you.
Sometimes I wonders where I've been
Who I am, do I fit in.
I may not win but I can't be thrown,

Oh it's hard bein' little in a grown up world
I bet Shirley Temple hated every curl
They think our life is easy
Like a song that's light and breezy
It's enough to make you queezy
When you know it's tough
Bein' little in this mixed up world
Life is a riddle that just spins and twirls
And we're intimidated
When we've merely imitated
Sophisticated people that we love
If only they'd realize that we're people too
We're people too
Have problems too
But they never look at things from our point of view
So what can a little kid do
I wish they'd see that I just might turn out ok
But look I'm not complainin'
That it's just kids' stuff
I'm only explainin'
That it's real tough
When you're caught in the middle
There is no aquittal
As long as you're little

Please don't let this feeling end
It's ev'rything I am
Ev'rything I want to be
I can see what's mine now
Finding out what's true
Since I found you
Looking through the eyes of love
And now I can take the time
I can see my life
As it comes up shining now
Reaching out to touch you
I can feel so much
Since I found you
Looking through the eyes of love
And now I do believe
That even in the storm we'll find some light
Knowing you're beside me I'm allright
Please don't let this feelings end
It might not come again
And I want to remember
How it feels to know you
How I feel so much
Since I found you
Looking through the eyes of love
Please don't let this feelings end
It's ev'rything I am
Ev'rything I want to be
I can see what's mine now
Finding out what's true
Since I found you

Go away little boy
Go away little boy
I'm not supposed to be alone with you
I know that your lips are sweet
But our lips must never meet
We're not grown up enough you know that it's true
Oh go away little boy
Go away little boy
It's hurting me more
Each minute that we delay
When you're much too near me like this
You're much too hard to resist
So go away little boy
Before I beg you to stay
Go away little boy
Go away little boy
It's hurting me more
Each minute that we delay
When you're much too near me like this
you're much too hard to resist
So go away little boy
Let's call it a day little boy
Please go away little boy
Before I beg you to stay
Go away little boy
Go away little boy
Go away little boy

Looking at tomorrow sets you free from yesterday
Giving up your sorrow is the key
To find your way
Living for the moment is the only way to grow
Life is what you make it be now
You ought to know
It's you dream so take it
It's your dream go make it all come true
Right now
It isn't very hard to do if you believe in you
It's your right so free it
It's your light so see it to the end
My friend
Cause you're never gonna pass this way again
And if sometime along the way you stumble and should fall
At least you know inside you you're giving it your all
Don't be ashamed of losing and you'll find you just might win
Don't be afraid of giving and love might just begin
It's your dream so take it
It's your dream so make it all come true
Right now
It isn't very hard to do if you believe in you
It's your song so sing it
It's your bell so ring it to the end
My friend
Cause you're never gonna pass this way again

Maybe faraway, or maybe real nearby
He maybe pouring her coffee
She maybe straightening his tie
Maybe in a house, all hidden by a hill
She's sittin' playing pianah
He's sitting paying a bill
Betcha they're young
Betcha they're smart
Bet the collect things like ash trays ans art
Betcha they're good why shouldn't they be
Their one mistake was giving up me
So, maybe now it's time
And maybe when I wake
They'll be there calling me baby
Maybe
Betcha he reads, betcha she sews
Maybe she's made me a closet of clothes
Maybe they're strick, as straight as a line
Don't really care as long as they're mine
So, maybe now this prayer's
The last one of it's kind
Won't you please come and get yor baby

Things that tremble tingle like a bubble
Full of rainbows then... crack
Sizzle sing and whisper when the shadows
Lace the moonlight whit black
Things that crowd on climb in vines
In windows wind in with
Waving whispy willow wings and breathe
Of wines in summertime... dreams
Things that gow and glisten, eyes of children
When they listen then... burst
Things that touch the wistfull wish of
Watching someone else succeed first
Days that dingle dangle with
A million parts untangle to
Satin stars that spangle and those
Sudden bells that clangle out... dreams
I'm talkin' of daydreams
Chocolates and ice cream
Then I tremble tingle like a bubble
Full of rainbows and pop
Scatter splitter splatter and I'm sailing
On a cloud that won't stop
Galloping and gliding on a prism
We come riding and
Sometimes half-colliding whit
The dragon who is flying below
I'm talking of daydreams
Chocolates and ice creams
Then I tremble tingle like a bubble
Full of rainbows and pop
Scatter splitter splatter and I'm sailing
On a cloud that won't stop
Galloping and gliding on a prism
We come riding and
Sometimes half-colliding whit
The dragon who is flying and
I can tremble tingle like a bubble
Full of rainbows light
Something came to shake me to

The sun turned from my window
And let the blues come in
Now I've got pain and sorrow
To talk to again about my
Case of the missing you's
The used to be's and
The lonlies, too,
Keepin' my heart chained to the blues

Old yesterday's dropped by
With the wishes you were here's
Sure made good times fly
'til they disappeared
Leavin' me with the miseries
The lost without you's and
The why did you leaves
Keepin' my heart chained to the blues

Oh, my, the way he said goodbye
Just laughin' at me cryin'
In my sorrow
Oh, me, these painful memories
Torture me like there's
No tomorrow, when

My heart will be breakin'
Right along with the dawn
Each part of me achin
Just knowin' he's gone and
Left me with the stark ravin' mad's
The I should've done's and
The wish that I had's
Keepin' my heart chained to the blues
Keepin' my heart chained to the blues

You
What would I be without
What could I possibly do
What I would be is all through

I
Need you so bad I could die
Life without you is a lie
You are the sun in my sky
Just a like the rain feeds a flower
To make it grow
You are the strength and the power
That makes me go
When I'm without you baby I'm
Full of all those lonely feelings I'm
Surrounded by walls and ceilings
Then you appear and
My skies are clear and
I star to cheer
What I see

We
Together is how it must be
We meaning you
Meaning me
We meaning me and you
Just like the rain feeds a flower
To make it grow
You are the strength and the power
That makes me go
When I'm without you baby I'm
Full of all those lonely feelings I'm
Surrounded by walls and ceilings
Then you appear and
My skies are clear and
I star to cheer
What I see
What I see

We
Together is how it must be
We meaning you meaning me
We meaning me and you

We
Together is how it must be
We meaning you meaning me
We meaning me and you

We
Together is how it must be
We meaning you meaning me
We meaning me and you ooh

We
Together is how it must be
We meaning you meaning me

Late at night when a bad dream
Steals my sleep and shadows on the wall
Give me the creeps
I get so scared I shake inside
So I wiggle under the covers and hide
I'm safe in there with my Teddy bear

So glad I have you
To cuddle up to
So glad I have you
So glad I have you
You help me thru
When dreams make me blue
Don't know what I'd do
If I didn't have you

You're always there
When I need a friend to care
You take the chill from the air
And rainbows appear ev'rywhere
Woh

When it's dark and my mind plays tricks on me
And I feel a world of tears
Drip down my cheeks
It's a lonely place when no one's awake
But life ain't always a piece of cake
And you ease the pain
And stop the rain

So glad I have you
To cuddle up to
So glad I have you
So glad I have you
You help me thru
When dreams make me blue
Don't know what I'd do
If I didn't have you

Good friends are rare
And you keep the secrets we share
There's no one out there
Who could take the place of my Teddy bear
Woh

You're always there
When I need a friend to care
You take the chill from the air
And rainbows appear ev'rywhere
Woh

So glad I have you
To cuddle up to
So glad I have you
So glad I have you
You help me thru
When dreams make me blue
Don't know what I'd do
If I didn't have you
You're always there when I need a friend to care
You take the chill from the air
And rainbows appear ev'rywhere
