Billy Wells Again

Songwriters: Billy Wells

Verse
Some nights after I’m asleep, she takes her love to town
If she has a drink or two, she’ll spread her love around
I’ve tried so hard to reach her
I’ve tried but I can’t leave her
 
Chorus
She’s dancing in the shadows in the middle of the night
In the arms of strangers underneath a neon light
My old dog is howling and the rain is pouring down
I’m so lost without her
When she takes her love to town
 
Verse
Even when she comes back home
I know she’ll never stay
I’d trade a thousand nights alone
To love her one more day
She’ll always be a stranger
There’s no way I’ll ever change her
 
Chorus
She’s dancing in the shadows in the middle of the night
In the arms of strangers underneath a neon light
My old dog is howling and the rain is pouring down
I’m so lost without her
When she takes her love to town
 
Bridge
I dream I’ll have her love completely
But there’s no way to make it so
I’ve never loved someone so deeply
I’d be so lost if she should go
 
Verse
Lonely walks on sleepless nights
Hidden from the sky
Picking up a dusty star
Wishing I could fly
I can’t help but think about her
I just can’t live without her

Chorus
She’s dancing in the shadows in the middle of the night
In the arms of strangers underneath a neon light
My old dog is howling and the rain is pouring down
I’m so lost without her
When she takes her love to town

When She Takes Her Love To Town

Billy Wells/Norman Kerner

Verse
It's just the two of us against the storm
Two faces pressed into the wind
Setting out upon another road
Looking for the rainbow's end
Somewhere beyond the dark and stormy sky we can fly

Chorus
We'll rise above it all
Hand in hand we'll never fall
Our love is all we need
For us to go as far as we can dream

Verse
Forget about what happened yesterday
Let's catch the wind and we'll be free
No matter what the people do or say
They'll never take your love from me
And way up high there'll be a thousand stars to light the way

Chorus
We'll rise above it all
Hand in hand we'll never fall
Our love is all we need
For us to go as far as we can dream

Bridge
Reach on out and someday we'll touch the sky
There's no doubt somewhere there's a better life
But we must walk before we learn to fly
Dream after dream
As long as you and I believe

Chorus
We'll rise above it all
Hand in hand we'll never fall
Our love is all we need
For us to go as far as we can dream

Hand in hand we'll never fall
Our love is all we need
For us to go as far as we can dream
Dream dream as far as we can dream

We'll Rise Above It All

Songwriters: Billy Wells/Anjie Flores

Verse
Caught in the middle
Somewhere between
The end of a nightmare and a beautiful dream
My eyes were open but I couldn't see
That falling in love was just a fantasy

Chorus
She was a beautiful lady who told beautiful lies
She looked like an angel in her angel disguise
She was a hell of a woman with heavenly eyes
A beautiful lady who told beautiful lies

Verse
We sailed out of heaven straight into hell
I didn't know I was under her spell
'Til I caught her cheatin' too many times
But even now
She's drives me out of my mind

Chorus
She was a beautiful lady who told beautiful lies
She looked like an angel in her angel disguise
She was a hell of a woman with heavenly eyes
A beautiful lady who told beautiful lies

Bridge
She was so easy to believe
And so hard to ever leave
She was everything a man could ever need

Verse
Born with a gift for breakin' men's hearts
She had a smile that could light up the dark
A devil in heels with an innocent face
Wearing a thong of satins and lace

Chorus 
She was a beautiful lady who told beautiful lies
She looked like an angel in her angel disguise
She was a hell of a woman with heavenly eyes
A beautiful lady who told beautiful lies

Beautiful Lies

Verse
Cobblestone streets, a cherry blossom for old Georgetown
At Old Mac's we'd meet
And speak of the friends we don't see around anymore
I wonder what happened to pretty Jane's pot of gold
By the way do you know what a hippie does when he's old
And it's too late to turn back now

Verse
Summertime sweet, neon and never in old Georgetown
Stoned on my feet
And dressed like a lunatic circus clown and what for
Singing a protest song puttin' down the war
I hardly recall what I stood for in '64

Chorus
Living in old Georgetown
Both feet off the ground
Riding so high on a merry-go-round
Up so high I can't come down anymore
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Bridge
When feeling good was easy and Cancer was my sign
Getting down with the midnight crowd
Trying to save mankind
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Verse
Take me M street, across Key Bridge far from old Georgetown
Don't bury my feet
Just give me a dream that's not hand me down to the floor
Got a hole in my heart I can feel from my head to my toe
And I don't have a clue what I'm gonna do now I'm old
And it's too late to turn back now

Chorus
Living in old Georgetown
Both feet off the ground
Riding so high on a merry-go-round
Up so high I can't come down anymore
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Old Georgetown

Verse
Looking back when I was king
I ruled the world and thought I must have everything
Then I met a girl who made my heart sing
Long ago
When I was king.

Verse
Looking back to that summer night
Across the room I saw her beauty burning bright
I saw her face in the pale moonlight
I learned so much 
That summer night 

Bridge
Leaves whisper on the breeze
Misty memories 
Will never be lost in time
Snow falling through the trees
Christmas melodies 
Forever will fill my mind
I‘ll never forget the magic when we met
The night we fell in love

Verse
Looking back, when I had no fear
I kissed a girl whose touch haunted me all my years
Her summer smiles and her winter tears 
Meant so much when I had no fear

So many sweet and precious things
Slipped away when I was king
