We played the games that people play
We made our mistakes along the way.
Somehow I know deep in my heart
You needed me.

I wanna be high, so high.
I wanna be free to know
The things I do are right.
I wanna be free,
Just me, babe!
That's why I'm easy.
I'm easy like Sunday morning.

Thanks for the times
That you've given me.
The memories are all in my mind.
And now that we've come
To the end of our rainbow,
There's something
I must say out loud.
You're once, twice
Three times a lady.

Honey you came along and captured my heart
Now my love is somewhere lost in your kiss
When I'm all alone it's you that I miss
Girl, a love like yours is hard to resist.

People dancing all in the street
See the rhythm all in their feet
Life is good, wild and sweet.
Let the music play on (play on, play on)
Feel it in your heart
And feel it in your soul
Let the music take control.

I had a dream I had an awesome dream:
People in the park playing games in the dark.
And what they played was a masquerade.
And from behind of walls of doubt a voice was crying out. Say you, say me.
Say it for always, that's the way it should be.
Say you, say me.
Say it together, naturally.

Here we are out here, me and you.
Reaching out to each other
Is all that we can do.
Here we stand trying not to fall.
There's no need to worry,
Love will conquer all.

Hey, hey, what I'm sayin' is -
Do it to me one more time.
Oh, give you one more chance,
This heart of mine.
Do it to me one more time, baby.
Can't get enough of your love!

You mean the world to me Oh I know I've found in you My endless love.

You know sometimes I sit and wonder
Just how this world would be
If we had all the people laughing
And everybody living in harmony.
We'd have to say se la se la.
Talking to the people se la, se la.

I need you, and with your love I'm free And truly, you know you're alright with me.

You are more than now;
You are for always.
I can see in you
My dreams come true.
Don't you ever go away. You make me feel like
There's nothing I can't do.
And when I hold you,
I only want to say
I love you.

You are the sun,
You are the rain
That makes my life this foolish game.
You need to know
I love you so.
And I'd do it all again and again.

We were running with the night;
Playing in the shadows.
Just you and I,
Till the morning light.

What is happening here?
Something is going on
That's not quite clear.
Somebody turn on the light,
We're gonna have a party.
It's starting tonight. Oh, what a feeling!
When we're dancing on the ceiling.
