You best let some things happen On their own You'd better leave them alone Cause when they happen naturally Its like standing in the rain You're gonna get wet Its gonna get all over you So when it happens like that Don't bother asking where its from You just take it as it comes
It was a great year for a fall And it happened like that With no direction there or give Didn't matter much at all Bells didn't ring There was nothing calling me out there Yet I was kinda grooving like that Until it hit me like a shot You're part of everything I've got
I felt the sun coming through And it happened to be you I had to look away to see That you happened to be happening to me
Its that sensation when you're falling You stop in time And in that moment you will hear Just a matter of fact And its gonna get wet Gonna get all over you Sometimes it happens like that Now don't be asking where its from You just take it as it comes
I felt the sun coming through And it happened to be you I had to look away to see That you happened to be happening to me
Bells didn't ring There was nothing calling me out there Yet I was kinda grooving like that Until it hit me like a shot You're part of everything I've got
I felt the sun coming through And it happened to be you I had to look away to see That you happened to be happening to me
I felt the sun coming through And it happened to be you I had to look away to see That you happened to be happening to me
Looking back over my years I guess I've shed some tears Told myself time and again This time I'm gonna win But another fight things ain't right And I'm losing again Takes a fool to lose twice And start all over again
Think I'd better let it go Cause it looks like another love TKO..oh yeah Said I'd better let it go Because it looks like another love TKO..mmmm
I tried to take control of my love Love took control of me See you lose all thought and sense of time You have a change of mind Takin' the bumps and the bruises And all the things of a two-time loser See I try to hold on but my faith is gone It's another sad song
So I'd better let it go Cause it looks like another love TKO.. mmmm Said I'd better let it go.. na..na na na Cause it looks like another love TKO.. mmmm
You got me going in circles.. aha Can't get my feet back on the ground.. oh..oh
I tried to take control of my love Love took control of me See you lose all thought all sense of time You get a change of mind Takin the bumps and the bruises And all the things of a two-time loser And I try to hold on but my faith has gone It's another sad song
Said I'd better let it go now Cause it looks like another love TKO.. mmmmm Better let it go Because it looks like another love TKO.. mmmmm
Let it go... TKO Mmmmm....yeah.... Got to let it go now Cause it looks like another love TKO
I see your breath Your words in frozen space tonight I hear a distant bell and you appear Like some ancient one I'd never really seen
And there's a light falling from your hair A photograph I thought I'd lost somewhere You're all of this to me my dream And a universe of you I've never seen
And now it seems Not long ago I was emptiness And you arose And as the day Fades to night May we ever love Fade into light
I feel the stillness of your eyes And shadows fall away The promise of a spring is waiting there Underneath it all.. underneath it all
The sky is crying heavens raining tears The flood of sorrow runs a million years But across this universe or just next to me You are calling
And now it seems Not long ago I was emptiness And you arose And as the day Fades to night May we ever love Fade into light
And as the day Fades to night May we ever love Fade into light
Son of a Tokyo Rose I was bound to wander from home Stranger to whatever I'd awaken to
Spun the wheel took a shot in the dark One way ticket and a runaway heart A sailors dream came true the night I dreamed of you
Through the neon doorways Down the stoney streets I fell All hands high side all eyes a wreck I followed
Sailing shadows reds and blues Curtains drawn but I saw through The window to your soul and I found you
Whoah oh oh oh The harbor lights of Venus Shining through the breeze That brings me back To you my love To you my love To you my love
My eyes must be betrayin' But that lonesome jukebox playin' Somethin' 'bout the harbor lights is callin' me
Back to some Jamaican bay Doesn't seem so far away Keep the change but I'll repay these memories
Dawn came in this morning Like some old junked out melody The words she spoke as we awoke still haunt me "What you feel too may reveal you Let me steal you for my life"
Whoah oh oh oh The harbor lights are of Venus Shining through the breeze That brings me back To you my love To you my love To you my love
Whoah oh oh oh The harbor lights of Venus Shining through the breeze That brings me back To you my love To you my love To you my love
Tired of seeing some play thing Acting like a toy Tired of watching some fool Trying to be your boy And I don't like to be the one Seeing you in tears Standing in the shadows Staring out at love again
But I'll be the one
I'm the one reminding you That you've got a choice I'm the one to let you know That I hear your voice Time and again I catch you smiling from within But standing empty hearted Standing in the wings again
I'll be the one
Oh.. Oh I'll be the one
I'm the one reminding you That you've got a choice I'm the one to let you know That I hear your voice Time and again I catch you smiling from within Standing empty hearted Standing in the wings again
I'll be the one
I can't be the one to catch you Every time you fall I ain't gonna be the answer Every time you call But babe I'm gonna to be the one The one to see you through it all
Oh.. Oh I'll be the one
I'll be the one to get you home When all the rest have gone away
