If i close my eyes Will it come to life Is it something i'm dreaming of If a steady head doesn't rule my heart Will it lead me to somewhere happy enough And i'm a sorry soul in a sinful world And you don't get out alive If I meet myself in a half way home And i'll remember the things you said Love isn't always fair but that's no reason to be so cruel to me Hold onto what is there and count the saints There's a reason why we keep it all inside To shield our hopes from the raining sky And arrange it all into simple lines To be part of a world where love can reside And the hopes i hold in my careful hands Well they don't get out alive And i gave myself to an honest man Who couldn't keep his promises Love isn't always fair but that's no reason to be so cruel to me Hold onto what is there and count the saints and count the saints and count the saints Love isn't always fair but that's no reason to be so cruel to me Hold onto what is there and count the saints and count the saints and count the saints

Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner Sometimes I feel like my only friend Is the city I live in The city of cities Lonely as I am Together we cry, we cry, we cry I don't ever wanna feel Like I did that day Take me to the place I love Take me all the way I don't ever wanna feel Like I did that day Take me to the place I love Take me all the way I drive on the streets 'Cause he's my companion I walk through his fields 'Cause he knows who I am He sees my good deeds And he kisses me windy I never worry Now that is a lie I don't ever wanna feel Like I did that day Take me to the place I love Take me all the way I don't ever wanna feel Like I did that day Take me to the place I love Take me all the way (One time, two time, three time, four time) It's hard to believe There's nobody out there It's hard to believe That I'm all alone At least I have his love The city he loves me Lonely as I am Together we cry I don't ever wanna feel (I don't ever wanna feel) Like I did that day (like I did that day) Take me to the place I love (take me to the place I love) Take me all the way (take me all the way) I don't ever wanna feel (I don't ever wanna feel) Like I did that day (like I did that day) Take me to the place I love (take me to the place I love) Take me all the way (take me all the way) I don't ever wanna feel (I don't ever wanna feel) Like I did that day (like I did that day) Take me to the place I love (take me to the place I love) Take me all the way (take me all the way) I don't ever wanna feel (I don't ever wanna feel) Like I did that day (like I did that day) Take me to the place I love (take me to the place I love) Take me all the way (take me all the way) All the way All the way All the way All the way All the way All the way

The hard times blow in three so it seems At least that's the way this year has seemed to toll And I've been handed things that others sweat and bleed for I'm undeserving, I'm on a pedestal I wish I knew you back before you had to leave You know I, I wish I had truly felt your light And I've been blessed in ways that almost sickens my mind I wish you could run this right, you deserve my life And Lord I wonder why it had to be her you know To me it seemed to early to be right The brightest colors in the sky they dance at dawn But soon enough they're gonna fade tonight They always fade to night I wish I knew you back before you had to leave You know I, I wish I had truly felt your light And I've been blessed in ways that almost sickens my mind I wish you could run this right, you deserve my life And all the seasons seem to blow in on and change It's like the leaves they make their colors, then they fall And this October came with more than just a breeze It's like she made her change and blew above us all She blew above us all I wish I knew her back before she had to leave You know I, I wish I had truly felt her light And I've been blessed in ways that almost sickens my mind I wish you could run this right, you deserve it I wish I knew you back before you had to leave You know I, I wish I had truly felt your light And I've been blessed in ways that almost sickens my mind I wish you could run this right, you deserve my life

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue Wrap your presents to your darling from you Pretty pencils to write I love you And Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue Crowded streets, busy feet, hustle by him Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh And there he sits all alone on the side walk Hoping that you won't pass him by Should you stop? Better not, much too busy You better hurry, my how time does fly And in the distance the ringing of laughter And in the midst of the laughter he cries Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue Wrap your presents to your darling from you Pretty pencils to write I love you Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue Wrap your presents to your darling from you Pretty pencils to write I love you Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue Oh, pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

There's two lost souls finding love in Times Square There's a rumble of a train running down a track Lights are turning on the great wide wave Cold beer here, pinstripes aren't bad Piano man's holding court at the garden All the street corner preachers are back Faith believes what it can't see And who we are, and who we're gonna be Angels ring a cathedral bell And on the streets of New York All is well The eastern sun is rising over sunset Tourists taking selfies at the Hollywood sign Watching up the boards down in Venice At Nicky's house, they're all gathering in line, give it time 'Cause faith believes what it can't see And who we are, and who we're gonna be City of Angels rising through the ashes of hell And on the streets of LA All is well There's a pickup rolling through the Heartland And the shotgun seat rides her daddy's old six-string Tonight she'll be singing in a bar on Broadway She'll play some Willy, and everybody sings Faith believes what it can't see And who we are, and who we're gonna be Music cities got some tales to tell And on the streets of Nashville All is well Faith believes what it can't see And who we are, and who we're gonna be Our Lady in the harbor shining like a citadel And on the streets of America All is well And on the streets of America All is well
