Only Love Remains - Paul McCartney

When the ground beneath you starts shaking, shaking And you forget the place we came from, came from When you're lost and looking for a way home Your way home to me, I'll come out and find you When the world around you starts moving, moving And you should wonder if I still love you, love you If you feel a darkness coming, rising inside I'll make a light to guide you back home And after all the sky has fallen down And after all the water is washed away My love's the only promise that remains When your doubts have got you thinking, thinking And nothing's every really sacred, sacred And you're afraid you might believe it Believe in me and I'll give you a reason 'Cause the world around us keeps on moving, moving And there's no doubt that I still love you, love you So when you feel the darkness coming, rising inside I'll make a light to guide you back home And after all the sky has fallen down And after all the water is washed away My love's the only promise that remains My love's the only promise that remains My love's the only promise that remains And after all the sky has fallen down (After all the sky has fallen down) And after all the water is washed away (After all the water is washed away) My love's the only promise that remains, remains

You spend a hundred dollar bill as if it were a dime Seem so debonair while you sip your wine Brag about your escapades, to impress your best friend's wife Cos love remains a stranger in your life You try to cure your loneliness with expensive luxuries Your sense of values have been driven to their knees A chauffeur and a limousine, you're a rich man poor at heart Cos love remains a stranger in the dark Love remains a stranger Loneliness comes screaming from your eyes The truth, it hurts so bad you resolve to telling lies Cos love remains a stranger from the skies Love remains a stranger Love remains a stranger You spoke of having a woman once and how you made her bleed You're so into yourself you ignored her every need Oh, she bent over backwards to keep you but your ego made her crawl She left with a lonely stranger through it all Love remains a stranger Loneliness comes screaming from your eyes The truth, it hurts so bad you resolve to telling lies Cos love remains a stranger in disguise Love remains a stranger Love remains a stranger

Here we go again, sittin; on the edge of leavin' You don't have to speak, I can see it in your eyes I know you too well You know I can tell you're hiding something inside Baby, just breathe in, breathe out Before you turn around, just slow down Think of all the love we've made If we gave it just one more try Maybe we could stop this goodbye I know through all this pain Somehow, somewhere love remains You say don't walk away Well baby, give me one good reason More than just a line, you better make it count this time You told me, but you never really showed me That I'm worth the fight Oh, I'm worth the fight So baby, just breathe in, breathe out Before you turn around just slow down Think of all the love we've made If we gave it just one more try Maybe we could stop this goodbye I know through all this pain Somehow, somewhere love remains Love takes time to build its defenses And trust takes time to tear down those fences And what remains is stronger than ever before So don't walk out that door I don't wanna hurt anymore So baby, just breathe in, breathe out The only time for love is right now Forgive all of the mistakes we've made If we gave it just one more try Maybe we could stop this goodbye Through the fire and rain Somehow, somewhere I know through all this pain Somehow, somewhere love remains So baby, just breathe in, breathe out I never wanted to give up this fight What if we give it, baby, one more try? Let's try this time Baby, this time Baby, this time Baby, this time (time)

There's a place I'd like to go somewhere out west, It's not specific, and the pictures show it best. I know there's trees I know there's sand and I know there's grass, I know it's somewhere in the past. There's a girl out there who's lookin for it too, She's not sure when she'll go or exactly what she'll do. If i am doomed am I the first on or the last? Am I just someone from the past? No one has to hear, the sound of people laughing at their fear, And the ocean and sun are always there, To make you happy if you're feeling scared of the darkness. If I ever saw a ghost it'd change the way I think. I wouldn't gasp for air if ever I did sink. I wouldn't struggle, I'd just let it all out fast, And then start living in the past. If we hold the hand that rapes the hand, And everyone can feel the hand, And nothing's gonna change, It could be the time we're living in, We'll never feel so safe again, But love always remains

We are born one fine day Children of God on our way Mama smiles, daddy cries Miracle before their eyes They protect us 'til we're of age And through it all love remains Boy moves on, takes a bride She stands faithful by his side Tears and sweat, they build a home Raise a family of their own They share joy and they share pain Through it all love remains Kingdoms come and go but they don't last Before you know the future is the past In spite of what's been lost or what's been gained We are living proof that love remains I don't know baby what I'd do On this earth without you We all live, we all die But the end is not goodbye The sun comes up and seasons change Through it all Love Remains An eternal burning flame Hope lives on and Love Remains

When you're wide awake Say it for goodness sake It's gonna be a great day While you're standing there Get up and grab a chair It's gonna be a great day And it won't be long, oh no It won't be long, it won't be long, no no It won't be long, it won't be long, oh no It won't be long, it won't be long, ooh Ooh, ooh, yeah Gonna be a great day And it won't be long, oh no It won't be long, it won't be long, no no It won't be long, it won't be long, oh no It won't be long, it won't be long, ooh When you're wide awake Say it for goodness sake It's gonna be a great day While you're standing there Get up and grab a chair It's gonna be a great day

Motor cars, handlebars Bicycles for two Broken-hearted jubilee Parachutes, Army boots Sleeping bags for two Sentimental jamboree "Buy, buy" Says the sign in the shop window "Why, why?" Says the junk in the yard Candlesticks, building bricks Something old and new Memories for you and me "Buy, buy" Says the sign in the shop window "Why, why?" Says the junk in the yard

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-mm-mm

If you love me, won't you call me? I've been waiting, waiting too long In my soul is constant yearning Always singing, singing this song Only love is strong enough to take it on the chin When did I begin to fall? Anyway, anyway You can make that call You feel free to make yourself at home If we could be closer longer That would help me, help me so much We can cure each other's sorrow Won't you please, please, please get in touch? If our love is strong enough, it may never end Why would I pretend to fall? Anyway, anyway You can make that call You feel free to make yourself at home Anyway, anyway Anyway at all Anyway that you can make that call

I know there must be other ways of feeling free But this is what I wanna do, who I wanna be Every time I try, I feel like I can fly But I know that I could die trying I'm slidin', glidin' through the air I can see my body through windows in my hair I'm slidin', glidin' through the air I know nobody's dancing here but us dragonflies We're the only ones awake, we own the skies Every time I try, I feel like I can fly But I know that I could die trying I'm slidin', glidin' through the air I can see my body through windows in my hair I'm slidin', glidin' through the air I'm slidin', glidin' through the air I can see my body through windows in my hair I'm slidin', glidin' through the air I can feel my body burn slidin' through the air
