# Stars, they come and go

0:00:060:00:10

# They come fast, they come slow

0:00:100:00:14

# They go like the last light of the sun over the bay

0:00:140:00:19

# And all they see is glory

0:00:220:00:27

# So if you don't lose patience with my bumbling around

0:00:300:00:35

# I'll come up singing for you

0:00:350:00:38

# Even when I'm down

0:00:400:00:44

# I'll come up singing

0:00:470:00:50

# Singing

0:00:520:00:55

# Singing

0:00:560:01:00

# Like a rhinestone cowboy

0:01:020:01:06

# Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo

0:01:060:01:12

# Just like a rhinestone cowboy

0:01:120:01:17

# Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know

0:01:170:01:23

# And offers coming over the phone

0:01:230:01:26

# I've been walking these streets so long

0:01:330:01:36

# Singing the same old song

0:01:360:01:39

# I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway

0:01:390:01:45

# Where hustle's the name of the game

0:01:460:01:50

# And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain

0:01:500:01:55

# There's been a load of compromising

0:01:570:02:01

# On the road to my horizon

0:02:010:02:05

# But I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me

0:02:050:02:10

# Like a rhinestone cowboy

0:02:100:02:14

# Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo

0:02:150:02:20

# Like a rhinestone cowboy

0:02:210:02:25

# Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know

0:02:260:02:31

# And offers coming over the phone

0:02:310:02:36

# Well, I really don't mind the rain

0:02:400:02:44

# And a smile can hide all the pain

0:02:440:02:48

# But you're down when you're riding the train that's taking the long way

0:02:480:02:54

# And I dream of the things I'll do

0:02:550:02:59

# With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe

0:02:590:03:04

# There'll be a load of compromising on the road to my horizon

0:03:050:03:13

# But I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me

0:03:130:03:18

# Like a rhinestone cowboy

0:03:190:03:22

# Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo

0:03:230:03:28

# Just like a rhinestone cowboy

Hello.

0:03:550:03:57

Thank you very much.

0:04:050:04:07

For the girls.

0:04:070:04:09

# She looks in the mirror

0:04:100:04:12

# And stares at the wrinkles that weren't there yesterday

0:04:120:04:18

# Thinks of the young man that she almost married

0:04:180:04:22

# What would he think if he saw her this way?

0:04:220:04:26

# She picks up her apron in little girl fashion

0:04:260:04:30

# As something comes into her mind

0:04:300:04:33

# Slowly starts dancing Remembering her girlhood

0:04:330:04:37

# And all of the boys she had waiting in line

0:04:370:04:43

# Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife

0:04:430:04:47

# You see everywhere any time of the day

0:04:470:04:52

# An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me

0:04:520:04:58

# The photograph album she takes from the closet

0:05:020:05:06

# And slowly turns the page

0:05:060:05:10

# Carefully picks up the crumbling flower

0:05:100:05:13

# The first one he gave her Now withered with age

0:05:130:05:18

# She closes her eyes and touches the house dress that suddenly disappears

0:05:180:05:25

# Then she is wearing that almighty gown

0:05:250:05:28

# That broke all their minds back so many years

0:05:280:05:34

# Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife

0:05:340:05:38

# You see everywhere any time of the day

0:05:380:05:42

# An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me

0:05:420:05:49

# Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife

0:05:490:05:53

This is one of my favourite Jimmy Webb songs.

0:06:200:06:24

This arrangement was done by a friend of mine, Mr Jimmie Haskell.

0:06:250:06:29

Yeah.

0:06:370:06:39

# The end has come and found us here

0:06:440:06:49

# With our toys scattered all around us here

0:06:490:06:55

# The puzzle that we never found an answer for

0:06:550:07:01

# Still asks us, darling Just what all the games were for

0:07:010:07:06

# And here we stand in a box of sand

0:07:060:07:13

# Where's the playground, Susie?

0:07:130:07:19

# You're the one who's supposed to know her way around

0:07:190:07:25

# Where's the playground, Susie

0:07:250:07:29

# If I don't stay around?

0:07:290:07:33

# If I don't stay around?

0:07:340:07:40

# The carousel has stopped us here

0:07:530:07:58

# It twirled a time or two and then it dropped us here

0:07:580:08:04

# And still you're not content with something about me

0:08:040:08:09

# But what merry-go-round can you ride without me

0:08:090:08:14

# To take your hand?

0:08:140:08:18

# How would you stand?

0:08:180:08:22

# Where's the playground, Susie

0:08:220:08:26

# If I decide to let you go and play around?

0:08:260:08:32

# Where's the playground, Susie

0:08:320:08:37

# If I don't stay around?

0:08:370:08:41

# If I don't stay around? #

0:08:420:08:49

I'd like to be your friend today

0:08:530:08:57

but I can't because someone else has asked me out to play.

0:08:570:09:02

Someone who will share their apple,

0:09:020:09:05

help me when I fall.

0:09:050:09:08

Yeah.

0:09:090:09:11

Mm-hm.

0:09:110:09:13

# Where's the playground, Susie

This song was written by Rod McKuen.

0:10:110:10:14

# If you go away on this summer day

0:10:160:10:21

# Then you might as well take the sun away

0:10:210:10:26

# All the birds that flew into summer skies

0:10:260:10:30

# When our love was new and our hearts were high

0:10:300:10:35

# When the days were young and the nights were long

0:10:350:10:39

# And the moon stood still to the nightbird's song

0:10:390:10:44

# If you go away, if you go away

0:10:440:10:49

# If you go away

0:10:490:10:51

# But if you stay

0:10:520:10:55

# I'll make you a day like no day has been or will be again

0:10:550:11:01

# We'll sail on the sun We'll glide on the rain

0:11:010:11:06

# We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind

0:11:060:11:11

# But if you go I'll understand

0:11:110:11:15

# Leave me just enough love to fill my hand

0:11:150:11:20

# If you go away, if you go away

0:11:200:11:24

# If you go away

0:11:240:11:27

# If you go away as I know you will

0:11:290:11:34

# You must tell the world to stop turning

0:11:340:11:38

# Till you return again If you ever do

0:11:380:11:43

# For what good is life without loving you?

0:11:430:11:47

# Can I tell you now as you turn to go

0:11:470:11:52

# I'll be dying slowly Till the next hello

0:11:520:11:56

# If you go away, if you go away

0:11:560:12:00

# If you go away

0:12:000:12:03

# If you go away as I know you must

0:12:050:12:09

# There'll be nothing left in this world to trust

0:12:090:12:14

# Just an empty room full of empty space

0:12:140:12:18

# Like the empty look I see on your face

0:12:180:12:23

# I'd have been the shadow of your shadow

0:12:230:12:27

# If I thought it might have kept me by your side

0:12:270:12:31

# If you go away, if you go away

0:12:310:12:36

# If you go away

0:12:360:12:38

# But if you stay I'll make you a night like no night has been

0:12:400:12:46

# Or will be again

0:12:460:12:48

# I'll sail on your smile I'll glide on your touch

0:12:480:12:53

# I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much

0:12:530:12:57

# And if you go, I won't cry

0:12:570:13:01

# All the good is gone from the word goodbye

0:13:010:13:06

# If you go away, if you go away

0:13:060:13:11

# If you go away

0:13:110:13:14

# Please don't go away. #

# I know I need a small vacation

0:14:370:14:42

# But it don't look like rain

0:14:440:14:48

# And if it snows that stretch down south, won't ever stand the strain

0:14:490:14:57

# And I need you more than want you

0:14:580:15:02

A lot of people didn't know that I was with The Beach Boys for a while.

0:16:330:16:38

In fact, about 1965, I was with them for about a year,

0:16:380:16:42

live and in person, playing bass and singing Brian's part.

0:16:420:16:46

I'd like to do a medley of some of the songs I had the pleasure

0:16:470:16:50

of working on with The Beach Boys on the records and live and in person,

0:16:500:16:55

because you've got to be good to sustain that long as a group.

I wrote this song in 1961 with a friend of mine.

0:22:080:22:12

I was five at the time.

0:22:120:22:14

# There is someone

0:22:180:22:21

# Walking behind you

0:22:210:22:24

You're nice.

A friend I've had the pleasure of working with in recording studios

0:26:350:26:39

for a long time... In fact, he took his organ out of his house

0:26:390:26:42

and down to Capital Records and put it on Wichita Lineman.

0:26:420:26:45

He's a genius of our time

0:26:450:26:47

and definitely one of the greatest songwriters in the world today

0:26:470:26:50

and one of the best writers of music in the world today.

When I found out we were playing with the fantastic Philharmonic,

0:29:520:29:56

there was a piece of music that I would like to do.

0:29:560:29:59

It's about being a father. Alan, if you would, please.

0:29:590:30:02

# I wonder what he'll think of me

0:30:130:30:16

# I bet he'll call me the old man

0:30:170:30:20

# And I'll bet he'll think I can lick

0:30:200:30:23

# Any other feller's father

0:30:230:30:25

# Well, I can

0:30:250:30:28

# And I bet that he turns out to be

0:30:310:30:34

# The spitting image of his dad

0:30:350:30:39

# And he'll have more common sense

0:30:390:30:41

# Than his puddin'-headed father ever had

0:30:410:30:47

# And I'll teach him to wrestle and dive through a wave

0:30:490:30:52

# When we go in the mornings for a swim

0:30:520:30:55

# His mother can teach him the way to behave

0:30:560:31:00

# But she won't make a sissy out of him

0:31:000:31:04

# Not him

0:31:040:31:06

# Not my boy

0:31:060:31:08

# Not Bill

0:31:080:31:12

# My boy Bill, I will see that he is named after me

0:31:130:31:18

# I will

0:31:180:31:20

# My boy, Bill, he'll be tall and as tough as a tree

0:31:200:31:26

# Will Bill

0:31:260:31:28

# Like a tree he'll grow with his head held high

0:31:280:31:32

# And his feet planted firm on the ground

0:31:320:31:35

# And you won't see nobody dare to try to boss or toss him around

0:31:350:31:42

# No pot-bellied, baggy-eyed bully

0:31:420:31:47

# Will boss him around

0:31:470:31:50

# I don't give a damn what he does as long as he does what he likes

0:31:510:31:55

# He can sit on his tail or work on a rail with a hammer, hammering spikes

0:31:550:31:58

# He can ferry a boat on a river or peddle a pack on his back

0:31:580:32:02

# Or walk up and down the streets of a town

0:32:020:32:05

# With a whip and a horse and a hack

0:32:050:32:07

# He can haul a scow along a canal

0:32:070:32:11

# Or run a cow around a corral

0:32:110:32:15

# Or maybe sing and play the guitar

0:32:150:32:19

# Of course, doing that You can't get too far

0:32:190:32:23

# He might be champ of the heavyweights

0:32:230:32:25

# Or a fella that sells you glue

0:32:250:32:27

# Or President of the United States

0:32:270:32:30

# That'd be all right, too

0:32:300:32:34

# But he wouldn't be President unless he wanted to be

0:32:340:32:37

# Not my Bill

0:32:370:32:40

# My boy, Bill, he'll be tall and as tough as a tree

0:32:400:32:44

# Will Bill

0:32:440:32:46

# And like a tree he'll grow with his head held high

0:32:460:32:50

# And his feet planted firm on the ground

0:32:500:32:53

# And you won't see nobody dare to try to boss him or toss him around

0:32:530:32:59

# No pot-bellied, flabby-faced Baggy-eyed, pot-bellied bully

0:32:590:33:05

# Will boss him around

0:33:050:33:08

# And I'm damned if he'll marry his boss's daughter

0:33:130:33:17

# A skinny-lipped virgin with blood like water

0:33:170:33:20

# Who'll give him a peck and call it a kiss

0:33:200:33:23

# And look in his eyes through a lorgnette

0:33:230:33:27

# But, say, what am I talking about?

0:33:270:33:30

# My kid ain't even been born yet

0:33:300:33:33

# But I can see him when he's 17 or so

0:33:330:33:38

# And starting to go with a girl

0:33:390:33:44

# I can give him lots of pointers Very sound

0:33:450:33:50

# On the way to get around any girl

0:33:510:33:57

# I can tell him... #

0:33:570:34:01

Yeah, Dad can tell him.

0:34:010:34:02

But what if "him" turns out...to be a girl?

0:34:050:34:09

What do you say to a girl, but you can't say to a boy?

0:34:110:34:15

# You can have fun with a son

0:34:160:34:19

# But you gotta be a father to a girl

0:34:190:34:25

# She mightn't be so bad at that

0:34:260:34:30

# A kid with ribbons in her hair

0:34:300:34:34

# A kind of neat and petite little tin-type of her mother

0:34:340:34:39

# What a pair

0:34:390:34:44

# My little girl

0:34:480:34:50

# Pink and white

0:34:520:34:54

# As peaches and cream is she

0:34:540:34:59

# And my little girl

0:35:010:35:04

# Is half again as bright

0:35:040:35:07

# As girls were meant to be

0:35:070:35:12

# Yes, dozens of boys pursue her

0:35:140:35:19

# As many a likely lad

0:35:220:35:26

# Does what he can to woo her

0:35:280:35:33

# From her faithful dad

0:35:340:35:39

# Yes, she has a few

0:35:410:35:43

# Pink and bright young fellas

0:35:450:35:49

# Of two and three

0:35:490:35:52

# But my little girl

0:35:530:35:57

# Gets hungry every night

0:35:570:36:00

# And she comes home to me

0:36:000:36:07

# I gotta get ready before she comes

0:36:120:36:17

# I gotta make certain that she

0:36:170:36:21

# Won't be dragged up in slums with a lot of bums like me

0:36:210:36:28

# She's got to be sheltered and fed and dressed

0:36:290:36:34

# In the best that money can buy

0:36:340:36:38

# I never knew how to get money

0:36:380:36:42

# But I'll try, by God, I'll try

0:36:420:36:46

# I'll go out and make it or steal it

0:36:460:36:52

# Or take it

0:36:520:36:57

# Or die. #

0:40:370:40:40

I heard a song when I was over here about two years ago.

0:40:500:40:53

I hope this guitar is in tune.

0:40:530:40:56

Change string on a gut string and they go sour in a hurry.

0:40:560:41:00

Sorry about that.

0:41:010:41:03

I've been wanting to record it ever since I heard it.

0:41:030:41:08

You'll know this song. It's about your town.

0:41:080:41:11

# Have you seen the old man in the closed down market

0:41:250:41:31

# Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes?

0:41:320:41:36

# In his eyes you see no pride

0:41:370:41:40

# And held loosely at his side

0:41:400:41:43

# Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news

0:41:430:41:49

# How can you tell me that you're lonely

0:41:510:41:56

# And say for you that the sun don't shine?

0:41:570:42:01

# Let me take you by the hand

0:42:030:42:05

# And lead you through the streets of London

0:42:050:42:09

# I'll show you something to make you change your mind

0:42:090:42:14

# Have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of London

0:42:160:42:21

# Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags?

0:42:220:42:27

# She's no time for talking She just keeps right on walking

0:42:280:42:33

# Carrying her home in two carrier bags

0:42:340:42:39

# So how can you tell me that you're lonely

0:42:410:42:46

# And say for you that the sun don't shine?

0:42:470:42:51

# Let me take you by the hand

0:42:530:42:55

GUITAR SOLO

0:43:060:43:08

# And in the all night cafe at a quarter past eleven

0:43:190:43:24

# Same old man is sitting there on his own

0:43:250:43:29

# Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup

0:43:300:43:36

# Each tea lasts an hour

0:43:360:43:39

# Then he wanders home alone

0:43:390:43:42

# So how can you tell me that you're lonely

0:43:430:43:49

# And say for you that the sun don't shine?

# Let me take you by the hand

APPLAUSE

0:44:110:44:13

You ready, Alan?

0:44:200:44:22

All right. I promised Alan that we would do a classical number

0:44:220:44:26

if he would conduct the Philharmonic for us so we will do that right now.

0:44:260:44:30

This was written by a friend of mine in Los Angeles

0:44:300:44:32

by the name of Mason Williams and I love this song.

0:44:320:44:35

It was a big hit over here too. It's called Classical Gas.

# Southern nights

0:52:520:52:55

# They feel so good it's frightening

0:52:550:52:57

# Girl, I wish I could

0:52:570:53:00

# Stop this old world from fighting

# Southern skies

0:53:120:53:14

-# And the trees in the southern sky

-Southern skies

0:53:140:53:21

# They blow in the night

APPLAUSE

0:53:400:53:42

Thank you.

0:53:490:53:52

That's real beautiful.

0:53:520:53:54

Brian Wilson wrote this song, about 1964.

0:53:560:54:00

I used to do it with the group and I liked it so much

0:54:000:54:04

I put it on my Southern Nights album.

0:54:040:54:06

It's an old one. See if you recognise it.

0:54:060:54:09

# A-a-a-a-a-ah, a-a-a-a-a-ah... #

0:54:110:54:14

Yes, Stephanie.

0:54:140:54:16

# A-a-a-a-a-ah

0:54:160:54:20

# I may not always love you

0:54:200:54:25

# But long as there's stars above you

0:54:270:54:31

# You'll never need to doubt it

0:54:330:54:37

# I'll make you so sure about it

0:54:390:54:44

# God only knows what I'd be without you

0:54:450:54:52

# God only knows how I'd feel about you

0:54:570:55:04

# If you should ever leave me

0:55:090:55:13

# Life would go on, believe me

0:55:150:55:19

# The world could show nothing to me

0:55:210:55:25

# So what good would living do me?

0:55:260:55:32

# God only knows what I'd be without you

0:55:330:55:40

# And God only knows how I'd feel about you

0:55:440:55:51

# A-a-a-a-a-ah, a-a-a-a-a-ah

0:55:570:56:02

# A-a-a-a-a-ah, a-a-ah

0:56:020:56:07

# A-a-a-a-a-ah

0:56:070:56:11

# God only knows what I'd be without you

0:56:110:56:18

# And God only knows how I'd feel about you

0:56:220:56:29

# And God only knows what I'd be without you

0:56:340:56:41

# God knows. #

APPLAUSE

0:56:530:56:55

I'm kind of backward and shy,

0:57:040:57:05

because I've never played with an orchestra like this before.

0:57:050:57:09

You don't know what to say. You don't know whether to be serious, grin,

0:57:090:57:12

tell a dirty joke or laugh. It's really something.

0:57:120:57:15

But I know what I'm going to do with this man

0:57:150:57:17

because I've been doing his music for a long time

0:57:170:57:20

and thank God for writers such as he and a great musician and conductor.

0:57:200:57:23

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Jimmy Webb.

0:57:230:57:26

-APPLAUSE

-We will do a song!

0:57:260:57:28

Shall we do the one we started with, or the one we got up?

0:57:400:57:43

-OK.

-The one we started with.

-OK. Let's do that one, then.

0:57:430:57:47

He waves his hand, the music starts.

0:57:500:57:53

This was done for me by Mr Marty Paich.

0:57:530:57:55

Revamped on Jimmy's, of course.

0:57:550:57:58

# By the time I get to Phoenix

0:58:010:58:06

# She'll be rising

0:58:060:58:10

# She'll find the note I left hanging on her door

0:58:130:58:20

# And she'll laugh

0:58:230:58:26

# When she reads the part

0:58:260:58:29

# That says I'm leaving

0:58:290:58:32

# Cos I've left that girl so many times before

0:58:350:58:43

# By the time I make Albuquerque

0:58:460:58:51

# She'll be working

0:58:510:58:58

# And she'll probably stop at lunch

0:58:590:59:03

# And give me a call

0:59:030:59:07

# But she'll just hear that phone

0:59:110:59:15

# Keep on ringing

0:59:150:59:18

# Off the wall

0:59:200:59:23

# That's all

0:59:270:59:29

# By the time I make Oklahoma

0:59:320:59:37

# She'll be sleeping

0:59:370:59:41

# She'll turn softly

0:59:430:59:47

# And call my name out low

0:59:470:59:52

# Oh, then she'll cry

0:59:530:59:56

# Just to think I'd really leave her

0:59:561:00:03

# Though time and time, I've tried

1:00:061:00:10

# Lord, I've tried to tell her so God knows

1:00:101:00:15

# She just didn't know

1:00:161:00:19

# I would really go

1:00:211:00:24

# No, she didn't know I'd go. #

1:00:261:00:31

APPLAUSE

1:00:381:00:40

When I recorded this next song,

1:00:511:00:53

I did it in kind of an up tempo type of thing

1:00:531:00:56

because that's the way I heard it at the time.

1:00:561:00:58

But Jimmy had a whole different concept of it here lately

1:00:581:01:02

and we got the idea to do it,

1:01:021:01:03

since we had this fantastic orchestra here to do it with.

1:01:031:01:07

So Jimmy wrote a special ballad chart for this song.

1:01:071:01:10

It's one of my favourites.

1:01:111:01:13

# Galveston, oh, Galveston... #

1:01:211:01:26

APPLAUSE

1:01:261:01:28

# I still hear your sea winds blowing

1:01:291:01:33

# And I still see her dark eyes glowing

1:01:371:01:43

# She was 21

1:01:451:01:48

# When I left Galveston

1:01:501:01:55

# Galveston, oh, Galveston

1:01:591:02:04

# I still hear your sea waves crashing

1:02:071:02:12

# While I watch the cannons flashing

1:02:151:02:21

# I clean my gun and dream of Galveston

1:02:241:02:32

# I still see her standing by the water

1:02:351:02:42

# Standing there, looking out to sea

1:02:441:02:50

# And is she waiting there for me?

1:02:511:02:57

# On the beach where we used to run

1:02:571:03:02

# Galveston, oh, Galveston

1:03:061:03:14

# Galveston

1:03:161:03:19

# I am so afraid of dying

1:03:211:03:25

# Though before I dry the tears she's crying

1:03:281:03:35

# Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun

1:03:371:03:47

# At Galveston

1:03:491:03:54

# Oh, at Galveston

1:03:541:03:59

# Galveston

1:04:011:04:04

# Galveston. #

1:04:071:04:12

APPLAUSE

1:04:141:04:17

It's called This Is Sarah's Song. I thank you, Jimmy.

1:04:301:04:33

# This is what I want to live for

1:04:411:04:47

# This is where I want to live

1:04:491:04:53

# To give my life to you and to this feeling

1:04:541:04:59

# That's alive today

1:04:591:05:02

# And never let it go away

1:05:061:05:11

# No matter what this is

1:05:131:05:17

# This is, and how can I deny it?

1:05:231:05:27

# This is, and will not be denied

1:05:291:05:34

# And you don't have to give an explanation

1:05:341:05:40

# For the way you feel

1:05:401:05:42

# I only want to know it's real

1:05:461:05:51

# No matter what this is

1:05:531:05:58

# To give my life to you and to this feeling

1:05:591:06:04

1:06:041:06:07

# And never let it go

1:06:101:06:13

# Never let it go away

1:06:131:06:17

# No matter what this is

1:06:181:06:22

# No matter, no matter what this is

1:06:241:06:32

# It's everything that is. #

1:06:431:06:46

APPLAUSE Thank you very much.

1:06:501:06:52

Thank you.

1:06:541:06:56

Since we've got Jimmy, I figured I wanted to do

1:07:021:07:04

my very favourite piece of music that Jimmy's ever written.

1:07:041:07:07

He wrote it, produced it, arranged it

1:07:071:07:10

and coaxed Richard Harris into singing it.

1:07:101:07:15

APPLAUSE

1:07:201:07:23

# Spring was never waiting for us, girl

1:07:351:07:38

# In love's hot, fevered iron

1:07:521:07:54

# Like a stripy pair of pants

1:07:541:07:58

# I recall the yellow cotton dress

1:08:061:08:09

# Foaming like a wave

1:08:091:08:11

# On the ground around your knees

1:08:111:08:15

# And birds like tender babies in your hands

1:08:191:08:23

# And old men playing checkers by the trees

1:08:231:08:29

# MacArthur Park is melting in the dark

1:09:381:09:42

# There will be another dream for me

1:09:451:09:50

# Someone will bring it

1:09:501:09:54

# I will drink the wine while it is warm

1:09:561:09:59

# And never let you catch me looking at the sun

1:09:591:10:06

# And after all the loves of my life

1:10:081:10:13

# God knows, after all the loves of my life

1:10:131:10:18

# You'll still be the one

1:10:181:10:21

# I will take my life into my hands

1:10:251:10:31

# And I will use it

1:10:311:10:36

# And I will win the worship in your eyes

1:10:381:10:43

# And I will lose it

1:10:431:10:47

# But I'll have the things that I desire

1:10:491:10:52

# And my passion flow like rivers to the sky

1:10:521:11:00

# But after all the loves of my life

1:11:011:11:06

# God knows After all the loves of my life
