I've seen the light
And I've seen the flame.
And I've been this way before,
And I'm sure to be this way again. For I've been refused,
And I've been regained,
And I've seen your eyes before,
And I'm sure to see your eyes again.
Once again. For I've been released,
And I've been regained,
And I've sung my song before,
And I'm sure to sing my song again.
Once again.

BE
Lost
On a painted sky
Where the clouds are hung
For the poet's eye
You may find him
If you may find him
There
On a distant shore
By the wings of dreams
Through an open door
You may know him
If you may

Says she loves me Yes, yes she does Gonna show me tonight, yeah She got the way to move me, Cherry

Then I saw her face Now I'm a believer Not a trace of doubt in my mind I'm in love I'm a believer I couldn't leave her if I tried.

Used to slip though every girl's hand like water There never was one who could ever tie me down Straight ahead and steady as Gibraltar 'Til you brought me tumblin' to the ground You got to me You brought me to may knees

I thought love was only true in fairy tales Meant for someone else but not for me …

Far We've been traveling far Without a home But not without a star. Free,
Only want to be free.
We huddle close;
Hang on to a dream.

Home,
Don't it seem so far away? Oh, we're traveling light today, In the eye of the storm.
In the eye of the storm. Home,
To a new and a shiny place.
Make our bed and we'll say our grace.
Freedom's light burning warm.
Freedom's light burning warm.

Desiree,
Oh, Desiree.
There I was found
By the sweet passion sound
Of your loving song.
Time was right, the night was long. Remember Desiree,
Oh, Desiree.
And though somehow I knew
I could only have you 'til the morning light,
The night was long, the time was right.

Ah, to be so exciting Won't need bright lights No, no we won't Gonna make our own lighting She got the way to move me, Cherry

Her eyes would make an angel smile.
They'd call her Sunday.
She'll take a man and drive him wild.
Her name is Sunday,
And one day I'm gonna make her mine.
It's gonna be so fine.
You wait and see,
It's gonna be
Just Sunday and me.

Yesterday's songs
Don't stay around long,
Not much anymore.
Yesterday's words
Don't make themselves heard
Like they did before.

Girl, I don't want to fight,
I'm a little bit wrong,
And you're a little bit right.
I said, girl, you know that it's true,
It's a little bit me,
And it's a little bit you too.

Two bit manchild I was
Born for nothin' mostly
Good time with sometime women.
Nothin' ain't ever hold me.
You can't change me none.

A thing called "Cherry Cherry", was my first big national hit. It was a top five record. And international, as well. And you know, that's what broke the dam. … Boom, as soon as that record hit, I was out on the road. And I've been out on the road… since then. … I didn't realize it at first, but I did want to perform. I liked it. It was fun. You know, I went through all of the growth experiences that you go through in any field. But I did like it. And you know, I've been doing it since.
