The Half - Ruben

Every bird will sing the melody of our love tune, oh Yesterday I was half the man I'd used to be Maybe that's because you're the other half of me Like the spring in bloom the summer of our love is soon Every bird will sing the melody of our love tune Sent down from above, unconditionally love Likened to a flower, stronger love grows by the hour Stormy weather days make us go our separate ways Where our love was so at ease Now you got me down on my knees, hey Yesterday I was brighter than the mornin' sun Now my love is lost and lonely days have just begun A solitary chair for a silent love affair A king has lost his throne, now he sits alone, hey hey Oh, hey, every bird will sing, hey Oh, now, every bird will sing Every bird will sing the, sing the melody of the love tune Oh, every bird, every bird Every bird will sing the melody of our love tune, hey I wanna tell you, alright Yesterday I was half the man I'd used to be Oh, maybe that's because you're the other half of me Like the spring in bloom the summer of our love is soon, now Every bird will sing the melody of our love tune Oh, yeah, ooh, every bird will sing the melody, the melody Did I tell you? Darlin', yesterday I was half the man I'd used to be Maybe that's because you're the other half of me Like the spring in bloom, the summer of our love is soon Every bird will sing the melody of our love tune Every bird will sing the melody of our love tune Every bird, every bird Every bird will sing the melody of our love tune Every bird will sing the melody of our love tune

Half the world hates What half the world does every day Half the world waits While half gets on with it anyway Half the world lives Half the world makes Half the world gives While the other half takes Half the world is Half the world was Half the world thinks While the other half does Half the world talks With half a mind on what they say Half the world walks With half a mind to run away Half the world lies Half the world learns Half the world flies As half the world turns Half the world cries Half the world laughs Half the world tries To be the other half Half of us divided Like a torn-up photograph (torn up photograph) Half of us are trying To reach the other half To reach the other half Half the world cares While half the world is wasting the day Half the world shares While half the world is stealing away

Growin' up, there wasn't much my daddy couldn't fix If it wouldn't work, he'd make the old look new again The house, the fence, the bike, the car The little girl tears from a broken heart Daddy set the bar real high Showed me what a real man looks like It's gonna take one to fill those shoes In his eyes, nothin' less will do He's gotta be a man of God Keep it tight when he ties that knot Lucky as a girl's ever gonna get To love a man that's half the man that my daddy is It's never gonna fly if he's the kinda guy that doesn't fish He better keep his word, ain't afraid to work, and knows who he is Strong with his hands, gentle with his touch And no such thing as lovin' me too much Daddy set the bar real high Showed me what a real man looks like It's gonna take one to fill those shoes In his eyes, nothin' less will do He's gotta be a man of God Keep it tight when he ties that knot Lucky as a girl's ever gonna get To love a man that's half the man that my daddy is A man of few words, a man who leads The man he is is who he wants for me Daddy set the bar real high Showed me what a real man looks like It's gonna take one to fill those shoes In his eyes, nothin' less will do He's gotta be a man of God Keep it tight when he ties that knot Lucky as a girl's ever gonna get To love a man that's half the man that my daddy is To find a man that's half the man my daddy is

Yeah, we're on I would like to leave this city This old town don't smell too pretty and I can feel the warning signs Running around my mind And when I leave this island I'll book myself into a soul asylum 'Cause I can feel the warning signs Running around my mind So here I go I'm still scratching around in the same old hole My body feels young but my mind is very old So what do you say? You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway You're half the world away Half the world away Half the world away I've been lost, I've been found but I don't feel down And when I leave this planet You know I'd stay but I just can't stand it and I can feel the warning signs Running around my mind And if I could leave this spirit I'd find me a hole and I'll live in it and I can feel the warning signs Running around my mind Here I go I'm still scratching around in the same old hole My body feels young but my mind is very old So what do you say? You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway Half the world away Half the world away Half the world away I've been lost, I've been found but I don't feel down No, I don't feel down No, I don't feel down I don't feel down I don't feel down I don't feel down I don't feel down
