Count On Me


If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see
I'll be the light to guide you

We'll find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like one, two, three – I'll be there
And I know when I need it,
I can count on you like four, three, two – and you'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh, yeah

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh; ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah

If you’re tossin' and you're turnin' and you just can't fall asleep
I'll sing a song beside you
And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me
Every day I will remind you

We'll find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like one, two, three – I'll be there
And I know when I need it,
I can count on you like four, three, two – and you'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh, yeah

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh; ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

You'll always have my shoulder when you cry
I'll never let go, never say goodbye

You can count on me like one, two, three – I'll be there
And I know when I need it,
I can count on you like four, three, two – and you'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh, yeah

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh; ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

You can count on me 'cause I can count on you

Let It Be


When I find myself in times of trouble,
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom,
let it be

And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom,
let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom,
let it be

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer,
let it be

For though they may be parted,
There is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer,
let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer,
let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom,
let it be

And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light
that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow,
let it be

I wake up to the sound of music,
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom,
let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom,
let it be

And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom,
let it be

Love Is All Around


I feel it in my fingers,
I feel it in my toes
Well, love is all around me
And so the feeling grows

It's written on the wind,
it's everywhere I go
So if you really love me
Come on and let it show

You know I love you, I always will
My mind's made up by the way that I feel
There's no beginning, there'll be no end
'Cause on my love you can depend

I see your face before me
as I lay on my bed
I kinda get to thinking
of all the things you said

You gave your promise to me,
and I gave mine to you
I need someone beside me
in everything I do

You know I love you, I always will
My mind's made up by the way that I feel
There's no beginning, there'll be no end
'Cause on my love you can depend

It's written on the wind, it's everywhere I go
So if you really love me,
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
etc.

Yesterday


Yesterday,
all my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly,
I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly

Why she
had to go I don't know,
she wouldn't say
I said
something wrong,
now I long for yesterday

Yesterday,
love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Why she
had to go I don't know,
she wouldn't say
I said something wrong,
now I long for yesterday

Yesterday,
love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday,

Mm mm mm mm mm.

Country Roads


Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin′ like a breeze

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roads

All my memories gather 'round her
Miner′s lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eyes

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roads

I hear a voice, in the mornin' hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin′
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roads

I Am What I Am


I am what I am
I am my own special creation
So come take a look
Give me the hook or the ovation

It's my world
that I want to have a little pride in
My world,
and it's not a place I have to hide in

Life's not worth a damn
till you can say:
"I am what I am"

I am what I am
I don't want praise,
I don't want pity

I bang my own drum
Some think it's noise, I think it's pretty

And so what if I love each sparkle and each spangle?
Why not try to see things from a different angle?

Your life is a sham
till you can shout out
"I am what I am"
I am what I am

And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces
It's one life and there's no return and no deposit

One life so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn
till you can shout out

"I am what I am"

Über den Wolken


Wind Nord/Ost Startbahn null drei,
Bis hier hör' ich die Motoren.
Wie ein Pfeil zieht sie vorbei,
Und es dröhnt in meinen Ohren,
Und der nasse Asphalt bebt,
Wie ein Schleier staubt der Regen,
Bis sie abhebt und sie schwebt
der Sonne entgegen.

Über den Wolken
Muss die Freiheit wohl grenzenlos sein.
Alle Ängste, alle Sorgen, sagt man,
Blieben darunter verborgen und dann
Würde, was uns groß und wichtig erscheint,
Plötzlich nichtig und klein.

Ich seh' ihr noch lange nach,
seh' sie die Wolken erklimmen,
Bis die Lichter nach und nach
Ganz im Regengrau verschwimmen.
Meine Augen haben schon
jenen winz'gen Punkt verloren.
Nur von fern klingt monoton
das Summen der Motoren.

Über den Wolken
Muss die Freiheit wohl grenzenlos sein.
Alle Ängste, alle Sorgen, sagt man,
Blieben darunter verborgen und dann
Würde, was uns groß und wichtig erscheint,
Plötzlich nichtig und klein.

Dann ist alles still, ich geh',
Regen durchdringt meine Jacke.
Irgend jemand kocht Kaffee
in der Luftaufsichtsbaracke.
In den Pfützen schwimmt Benzin
Schillernd wie ein Regenbogen
Wolken spiegeln sich darin. Ich wär gern mitgeflogen.

Über den Wolken
Muss die Freiheit wohl grenzenlos sein.
Alle Ängste, alle Sorgen, sagt man,
Blieben darunter verborgen und dann
Würde, was uns groß und wichtig erscheint,
Plötzlich nichtig und klein.

Über den Wolken
Muss die Freiheit wohl grenzenlos sein.
Alle Ängste, alle Sorgen, sagt man,
Blieben darunter verborgen und dann
Würde, was uns groß und wichtig erscheint,
Plötzlich nichtig und klein.
