Midnight Cowboy, Midnight Cowboy,
See the lonesome Midnight Cowboy,
Once his hopes were high as the sky,
Once a dream was easy to buy.
Too soon, his eager fingers were burned,
Soon life's lonely lessons are learned.
Hearts are made for caring,
Life is made for sharing,
Love is all that's left in the end.
Midnight Cowboy, Midnight Cowboy,
See the lonely Midnight Cowboy.
Once his hopes were high as the sky,
Once a dream was easy to buy.
Too soon, his eager fingers were burned,
Soon life's lonely lessons are learned.
Hearts are made for caring,
Life is made for sharing,
Duet
Love is all that's left in the end,
Love can turn the tide for a friend,
Love can hold a dream together,
Love is all that lasts forever,
Love is all that's left in the end,
Love can turn the tide for a friend,
Love can hold a dream together,
Love is all that lasts forever,
Midnight Cowboy, Midnight Cowboy,
See the lonely Midnight Cowboy.
Midnight Cowboy, Midnight Cowboy,
See the lonely Midnight Cowboy.
Midnight Cowboy, Midnight Cowboy,
See the lonely Midnight Cowboy.
Midnight Cowboy, Midnight Cowboy,
See the lonely Midnight Cowboy.

I'll wait a year for two weeks in July
Ill fly to the sun and my love will be there
Wistful and warm as when we said goodbye
The girl with the sun in her hair
I see her now as she walks by the sea
Tanned by the sun and salt in the air
Lovely but lost as she waits silently
The girl with the sun in her hair
There's fields to be run and hills to climb
I hope July arrives on time
Not long to wait for the summer to bring
The girl with the sun in her hair
[Bridge]
There's fields to be run and hills to climb
I hope July arrives on time
Not long to wait for the summer to bring
The girl with the sun in her hair

Arrivederci Baby
Sorry I gotta go
Arrivederci Baby
Sorry I gotta go
But before I leave you baby
There's one thing I want you to know
I really love you baby
Love you with all my heart
I really love you baby
Love you with all my heart
And when I come back baby
We ain't never going to part
Ciao ciao
Ciao ciao
Ciao ciao
I'll have to dig you later 'cos I'm gonna leave you now
Arrivederci Baby
Sorry I gotta go
Arrivederci Baby
Sorry I gotta go
But when I come back baby
You ain't never gonna be alone

Touch my hand and we will be, part of one another, you and me
Changing winds and shifting sands, we will still be touching hands
The more things change, the more our love will continue to grow
We will never change, in this world of easy come and go
Like the ocean and the shore we'll be bound together, ever more
Far off places distant lands, we will still be touching hands
The more things change, the more our love will continue to grow
We will never change, in this world of easy come and go
Touch my hand and we will be, part of one another, you and me.

He keeps his heart in hiding,
his feelings are in disguise.
He may not seem exciting,
but danger is in his eyes.
No love may try to trap him
or capture him in his spell.
No love can ever hold him,
for he knows intrigue too well.
This is a silent stranger,
his destiny is unknown.
He plays the game of danger,
and this is a man alone.
Alone!
--J.Barry / R. Tillison / Russell T. Lesslie

You Love Who You Love,
No one has any say.
And sensible words,
Will not get in my way.
You love who you love,
Good or bad, right or wrong.
The heart will decide,
Where it is you belong.
You love who you love,
We can’t help how we’re made.
A love that seemed sure,
Is a love that can fade.
When you look at him,
You can’t see what I see.
When I look at him,
I can see he loves me.
A soon as our eyes met,
I didn’t think about what’s right.
It was just as if
Someone turned out the light.
(OR: alternate version of middle 8)
Love is like a game of chance,
You place your bets and hope to win.
We all hold our breath,
When the wheel starts to spin.
You Love Who You Love,
I don’t care what he’s done.
He may have a past,
But I know he’s the one.
I won’t ever change,
We’re together for good.
I don’t give a damn what they say.
You love who you love come what may

I’ll never let you down
You Know You can rely on me
I’ll be as true as true can be
I’ll never let you down
I’ll never hold you back,
I’m not like anyone you’ve met.
Know, what you see is what you get,
I’ll never let you down
Let’s face it you can bet your life on me
There’s lots of fly by nights around.
Why don’t we take a walk beside the sea?
And we might stop for tea.
I won’t stand in your way
I’d say you landed on your feet
Maybe fate decided we should meet
I’ll never let you down.

Too late for salvation,
But I don’t care
It’s hell and damnation,
Too late for prayer
They think they can destroy me,
I’m strong, I know they won’t
Because when you feel nothing
I’m taking over
See if I don’t
Too late for repentance,
Why pray in vain?
I’ll serve out my sentence
Eternal pain
Priests say that God will save us
Oh yes?
Not me he won’t
Who cares, hell doesn’t scare me
I’m gonna show them
See if I don’t
If I am damned already
Might as well kill him
See if I don’t.

You and me, have things in common
Bet we'd get on really well.
You're not like the others round here.
You are good I can tell.
You seem like a girl with feeling,
Maybe we could talk again.
It's nice to meet a girl who's friendly.
Makes a change now and then.
You're the kind who could keep a secret
I could spot a phoney for miles
I can see the things they are hiding
Underneath their smiles.
You and me have things in common
I've enjoyed our little chat
You and me have things in common
Bet my life on that.

To love and be loved
sweet captivation
No space between us
No separation
To live in your world
Without condition
to know and be known
no inhibition
I want you in joy and pain
sleeping, moving, waking
Every secret overturned
Love beyond the making
To love and be loved
all doubt confounded
Truth in the beauty
Freedom unbounded
To love and be loved

If you take me straight to heaven
I could never fall
'Cos loving you is what I'm made for
I'd gladly give my all and all
It doesn't matter where I am
As long as I'm with you
You can take me high above
Whatever I've been dreaming of
Chorus:
In all the right places, it's feeling so good
In all the right places. just like it should
And I swear, I love you
And I swear, I love you
If we're dancing all alone
Or in a crowded room
When you wrap your arms around me
You can always send me to the moon
When we kiss our sugar kisses
And the music starts to play
We've got love, we've got each other
And we're going all the way
(Chorus)
Find time's never wasted, when it's ours to kill
I know in all the right places, you're touching me still
And I swear, I love you
And I swear, I love you
And I swear, I love you
And I swear, I love you
I love you

Here's to the heroes
Those few who gave
Heading for glory
Living a prayer
Here's to the heroes
Who change our lives
Thanks to the heroes
Freedom survives
Here's to the heroes
Who never rest
They are the chosen
We are the blessed
Here's to the heroes
Who aim so high
Here's to the heroes
Who do or die

If there was a man I could dream of,
I'd dream about a dream come true.
If there was a man I could ever love,
I'd wait a million years for someone just like you.
All my life I've been belated,
Never taking any chances, always hesitating.
Where's the pay-off? Where's the glory?
Where's the one I'm holding out for?
Why's he walking through the door, the one that you walk through?
If he isn't you?
If there was a man I could dream of,
I'd dream about a dream come true.
If there was a man I could ever love,
I'd wait a million years for someone just like you.
Happy endings never find me,
I put all my fantasies and hopes of love behind me.
Saw my moment overdoomed, but,
If there was a man out there for me,
I wish it would be someone who could love me too,
If someone was you.

Where has everybody gone?
I've got this feeling, God, am I here on my own?
Where's my support now, where's the ranks of the strong?
In this faceless crowd, where can I belong?
Everybody's gone insane to catch a plane to help the heavens closer, oh,
They want the kingdom but they don't want the king, they want his throne,
There's no time, there's no time at all.
Where has everybody gone?
With great pleasure I sing your national song,
Because your beautiful land will soon be long gone,
And the ashes of your memoirs will be strewn across the lawn.
Hack your face, save your case, reserve your plane in the everafter, oh,
Cause hallowed halls are lined with walls,
That are cracked with delirious laughter,
There's no time, there's no time at all.
Where has everybody gone?
There's no time, there's no time at all,
You won't survive and soon be long gone, Gone.
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone,
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.
