I look around at all the faces and I see All the lonely people looking back at me Rich, poor don't matter we're all the same Everybody's hungry in a different way We're clawin' and climbin' and kickin' And screamin' and fightin' but really What the world needs now is love Love and only love A little help from up above Faith to make a better day Let's come together Lay our differences down Spread it all around That's what the world needs now Sometimes all it takes is just a smile To change somebody's weather Chase the clouds out of their sky Or sometimes you gotta give and not receive Sometimes you gotta live what you believe Open your arms 'cause that's where it starts Right here with you and with me What the world needs now is love Love and only love A little help from up above Faith to make a better day Let's come together Lay our differences down Spread it all around 'Cause that's what the world needs now Nobody likes the cold We all need someone to hold No one wants to be alone What the world needs now is love Love and only love A little help from up above Faith to make a better day Let's come together Lay our differences down Spread it all around That's what the world What the world needs now is love Love and only love A little help from up above Faith to make a better day Let's come together Lay our differences down Spread it all around That's what the world What the world needs now is love Love and only love A little help from up above Faith to make a better day Let's come together Lay our prejudices down Spread it all around

Maybe the sun will go on shining Maybe the stars fall from the skies Where there's a river flowing There is no way of knowing Where it goes, no one knows Maybe the rain will go on falling Maybe the mountains touch the skies Where there's a cold wind blowing There is no way of knowing Where it goes, no one knows Living alone in the city All of our dreams left behind In every life there are seasons Of laughter and sorrow Where in the world did our love go When did our dreams say good bye Living alone in the city All of our dreams left behind In every life there are seasons Of laughter and sorrow Where in the world did our love go Where did our dreams choose to hide Where in the world did our love go When did our dreams say goodbye Where in the world did our love go Where in the world did our love go Where in the world Where in the world Where in the world did our love go

You're a cold day in August You're a stream too shallow You're a heart shaped box with no letter inside You're a seed unplanted You're a field run fallow Your heart's used up You're feeling cast aside I'm sorry that I left so soon I left you standing at the gallows You were all strung out The hangman waiting for the sign Come see me at the greenhouse In the back yard Come see me at the oak tree With our names carved in the bark Come see me at the train tracks Bring some pennies for old time's sake Even though I'm gone There's some memories that you need to take, with you Now you're working up the courage Just to walk yourself through that doorway A big world outside You're afraid of what you'll find Now you're leaning on friends Finding comfort and laughter You're patching up your heart You're finding some piece of mind I'm sorry that I left so soon You're stepping down from the gallows You were all strung up The hangman waiting for a sign So come see me at the greenhouse In the back yard Come see me at the oak tree With our names carved in the bark Come see me at the train tracks Bring some pennies for old time's sake Even though I'm gone There's some memories that you need to take, with you You found a new lover You went and got yourself married You're doing all the things we never got to do You had yourself a baby she's beautiful and happy Oh lord how I wish I could have given that to you But I left you too soon I was standing at the gallows I was all strung up I gave the hangman the sign You don't need me in the greenhouse In the backyard Down at the oak tree With our names carved in the bark Don't make it to the train tracks Bringing pennies for old times sake New memories that you need to make It's time for me to fade away I'm going home Ohh...

The weather turned, we stayed in Moved a little closer, a couple glasses in Double mattress, broken springs With you in it, felt like a California king Not quite friends, we ain't lovers When did we stop reaching out for one another Cant shake this feeling, won't let go We're just hanging on 'cause we're afraid to be alone There ain't a right time There ain't no time To say goodbye to you How do we tell our friends I'll make it easier, come around a little less Makes no difference in the end You can hang it all on me or we can let 'em guess There ain't a right time There ain't no time To say goodbye to you I've been waiting for some kinda sign To make it feel right To say goodbye to you How do we let it go How do we walk away When there's nowhere left to go And nothing left to say There ain't a right time There ain't no time To say goodbye I've been waiting for some kinda sign To make it feel right To say goodbye to you There ain't a right time There ain't no time To say goodbye Say goodbye Say goodbye To you

Why don't you tell me when it's comin' on? Why don't you tell me when I'm going wrong? Why don't you tell me when I lost my touch? Why don't you tell me when I drink too much? Oh, how I fell down a well The lights went out Yeah, the lights went out I couldn't get my grip again The means they justified the end It's a cryin' shame Nobody told me what it's all about Nobody told me I could bottom out Nobody told me I was stumbling Nobody told me about anything Wow, then I fell, all to hell The lights went out You always called yourself a friend You weren't therе to lift me then It's a cryin' shame Cryin' shamе Woah, I don't remember when I tasted blood Don't remember when I hit the mud I can't remember that blackout day All I remember is that you walked away Oh, then I fell, was like hell The lights went out I got no money I can spend I got some hurts that just won't mend It's a cryin' shame Cryin' shame Why do I wait when you won't come back? I'm on the wrong side of the zodiac I wish you would love me like my honey do I'm gonna drink without a thought of you Woah, now, I fell, all to hell The lights went out (yeah, ay) I'm waiting for the day's return I'm livin' for that liquor burn It's a cryin' shame Lights went out
