INTRO
Fate has brought us here today
Ain't it strange
God works in mysterious ways
Let me get your number
Let me get your name
Everything about this here man is gonna change
CHORUS
Let me buy you flowers
Maybe a diamond ring
Let me take you places where you've always wanted to be
Only when you get there will you know it's true
So let me get your number and maybe I'll get back to you
Let me take you out tonight
Take you to a show
You're the kind of person that I'd like to get to know
Don't you think it's something
That we met here on this day
Waiting for the sun to come to save us from the rain
CHORUS
BRIDGE
My life is sliding by
I'd like to live before I die
How about you?
How about you?
How about you, you, you, you and you?
Only when you get there will you know it's true
So let me get your number and maybe I'll get back to you
In her bed alone she is left with only the thoughts inside her head
She thinks, "Oh, if I had only said the right things, I'd be with him."
She can't see that he never loved her like she loved him
I guess she never really will
What she is is what she'll always be
He only wishes that she knew what she'll never see
That somewhere there's something for her that he's missing
But that's life
That's how it'll be
That's life
As she slowly drifts off alone to sleep
He is only with her within her dreams
Leaves fall from trees as she slowly packs her bags to leave
Making sense of life she throws away his remains
Tears fall from her face as she leaves her memories in places
To which she will never return again
She lost a friend
She lost a friend
That's life
Sailing, sailing to somewhere where we've never been
We've never been
Sailing, sailing to somewhere where we shouldn't be
We shouldn't be
CHORUS
We don't know what we're looking for
But we'll keep sailing forever more
Sailing, sailing across the big blue sea
Just you and me
Sailing, sailing to where we are sailing to
Just me and you
CHORUS
BRIDGE
We'd like to thank you all for helping us to take this trip
It's such a joy just living on the ocean
When the stars are shining and the world's in motion
But there's nothing happening next to me
There's nothing next to me
If I went to Europe
Would I be missing you continents away?
And if I finally made it to Paris
Would I be missing America everyday?
CHORUS
A game of chess
We're not all winners
But we've got to keep moving on
Move with the rest
The saints and sinners
All reaching for the top of the world
If I went to Europe after all
If I made my mind up
Would you still be around in the middle of the night?
Have you had that dream where
We lock our eyes and we forget about that fight
CHORUS
If I went to Europe, would you call?
BRIDGE
I'm living somewhere
And I don't why I'm here
You're my best friend, and always have been
I thought that you should know
Remember the time we met
We must've been no more than five years old
Where did the time go?
Man, we're getting old
You're my best friend
You've always been the one who's helped me out
Remember the time I cried after my granny died
You held me tight
For that I owe you
Until the end, my friend
BRIDGE
I know we've taken our separate paths
But we must take in each other's laughs
While there is time for life, time for love
Time for friends like you
So we sit having coffeehouse conversations
Time's gone away for a summer vacation
CHORUS
The same table, the same view
A dirty ash tray for the smoking few
A different season, a different book
A conversation that takes off like a crook
Take your time, make up your mind
We're feeling fine tonight
BRIDGE
I've not been feeling fine the last couple hours or so
You know that feeling when you look outside but you've got nowhere in the world to go
That's when you call me up, you call me up on the telephone
You know just where it is where we can talk until talking gets old
Coffeehouse Conversations
The middle finger runs around
The strum of guitars makes the sound
Of love
The demon's getting up to go
The demon's going to the show
Of love
I remember when you sang that song
I remember you went to the show alone
You did it all on your own
And still you sang the songs of love
The bad guy is on the radio
The good guy is calling on the phone
Of love
I remember days when I'd sit on my own
Singing to the paper that I wrote my songs on
And then like magic you came along
And to you I sing my songs of love
