MY GUITAR

Couldn't get along without a song
From my guitar
Couldn't last a day
If I was kept away From my guitar

With her resting on my knee I'd lose reality
And I didn't even know the time of day

My only friend when the day came to an end
Was my guitar
She sang with me all the songs I loved to hear 
My dear guitar

With her resting on my knee I'd lose reality
And I didn't even know the time of day

But now she's sitting silent in the corner
Like a long neglected lover
Wondering where her boy has gone

Somehow I let the passion die between us
And we have no conversation
Haven't held her for so long
Or heard her song

SOLO

Somehow I let the passion die between us
And we have no conversation
Haven't held her for so long
Or heard her song

There was a time
Full of rhythm full of rhyme,
From my guitar
But now my friend
It seems those days are at an end
Goodbye guitar

Never resting on my knee there's a lost reality
And I didn't even know it went away
No I didn't even know the time of day

My Guitar

When I wake up and I take up the affairs of the day
Though I'm trying to keep smiling I can't chase it away
There's no hiding the pain
No disguising the shame of losing your love
Though I'd like things to change
It still comes out the same old way
At the end of the day

At the end of the day as the sun fades away
How I miss you
Though I begged you to stay nothing I'd ever say
Could convince you
And as the night closes in and the heartaches begin
Getting stronger
That old clock on the wall tells me nothing at all
'Cos the hours are longer since you've been gone
From the end of the day

When I'm working I'm still shirking facts that get in the way
Of my scheming, always dreaming of bringing you back to stay
Walking home in the rain
Talk it over again with no one but me
Though I'd like things to change
It still comes out the same old way
At the end of the day

At the end of the day as the sun fades away
How I miss you
Though I begged you to stay nothing I'd ever say
Could convince you
And as the night closes in and the heartaches begin
Getting stronger
That old clock on the wall tells me nothing at all
'Cos the hours are longer since you've been gone
From the end of the day

I've tried to conceal
The way thet I feel
But I know it's for real
And this hurting ain't gonna heal
Oh...

Solo

At the end of the day as the sun fades away
How I miss you
Though I begged you to stay nothing I'd ever say
Could convince you
And as the night closes in and the heartaches begin
Getting stronger
That old clock on the wall tells me nothing at all
'Cos the hours are longer since you've been gone
From the end of the day

From the end of the day
From the end of my day
'Til the end of my days

At The End Of The Day

FUNNY LOVE

I love the sparkle on your face
Cos it tells me no one's gonna take my place
In your special love, your happy love
Your funny love

I thought all love must end in tears
Until you came to end my fears
With your special love, your happy love
Your funny love

You make me smile
And I haven't done that for a while
It almost seems untrue
This love called me and you
And yet you are so very real to me
So very real to me, so very real to me

Solo

I never knew what love could be 
Until I felt your love for me
Your special love, your happy love
Your funny love

CHORUS

Funny Love

Love That Never Dies

I remember when we were seventeen
Going to the dance together
What a groovy scene
 
(Way back then)
I was handsome, you were a beauty queen
We had all our lives before us
Full of teenage dreams

And all those mem'ries come back
As I look into your eyes
So happy in such a true love, love that never dies
 
I will never ever forget that day
I got down on one knee asking
The old fashioned way 

(I was so)
Nervous wondering whatever would you say
But you had no hesitation
We were wed in May

And all those mem'ries come back
As I look into your eyes
So happy in such a true love, love that never dies

Though the years rush by us and hair turns grey
To me you're still as lovely as you looked the very first day

All our children and every grandchild too
Show the world the story of the love I have shared with you

And all those mem'ries come back
As I look into your eyes
So happy in such a true love, love that never dies

Love That Never Dies

When I Was Young

Please Don't Leave It Late

And Above All, Sing

V.1
Well, here you are at the right time of day
When you promised yourself you'd take off the shelf your guitar and play
Don't worry if it really doesn't sound too good
The important fact is just to act like you said you would
Don't keep on letting yourself down
Don't waste the time you got left now
Try to make the most of every single thing
And above all....SING

V.2
The setting sun can be a wonderful sight
And even though you surely know it will soon be night
Take in the beauty for as long as it lasts
Don't miss out while you worry about how time goes so fast
Get a hold of the thoughts in your mind
Don't ever let 'em make you so blind
To the opportunities every moment brings
And above all....SING

CHORUS
Sing from your heart
Sing like a lark
Getting high
In the sky

SOLO

V.3
It might be hard to believe you've still got a shot
But despite your doubt and time running out give it all you've got
Who can tell what's waiting for you round the bend?
If you just keep going there's no knowing where your story ends
Don't give up on the gifts you've been given
Don't you know that's the reason for living
Keep your faith and don't be afraid of anything
And above all....SING!

CHORUS x 2

ENDING
Sing from your heart
Sing like a lark
Sing. Sing Sing.

And Above All, Sing

EXCEPT YOU

Verse 1
I wrote a song, a pretty song
It don't stay pretty for very long
I can't be happy when I'm feeling bad
I want to love you so much that I feel sad,
That...

CHORUS
I don't hear the birds singing sweeter
The sky is just the same old colour blue
I don't see you smile everytime I close my eyes
And nothing in my life is really new
Except you

Verse 2
You smile at me and make me cry
There's nothing you can do and I can't say why
Please don't ask me how I feel like this
I think you ought to give this boy a miss
Cos'...

CHORUS

Verse 3
You think I don't care:that's quite ok
I don't deserve your love anyway
But remember that I never told a lie
And it's so hard for love to last if I deny
That...

CHORUS

Verse 4
I speak to you and the words aren't wise
I see the tears behind your eyes
The sight of you unhappy hurts me so
I can't even think of letting you go
Even though...

CHORUS

END

Except You

YOU'RE MY RAINBOW

V1: When my heart gets weary
And a tear comes to my eye
I just want you near me
To brighten up my sky

Until the clouds are gone
You hang on

CHORUS: You're my rainbow after the storm
You make the pain go with feelings so warm
And when your eyes shine with colours of love
I know that heaven's not just above

V2:When the darkness gathers
And I can't see my way home
You show me what matters
So I know I'm not alone

Until the clouds are gone
You hang on

CHORUS

MIDDLE: Even when I've got an aching soul
You come around making me whole
No one can see the darkness inside
But you got a light, now I won't hide
Anymore.

SOLO

And when the clouds are gone
You keep on

CHORUS

END

You're My Rainbow
