Blue gardenia I lived for an hour Love bloomed like a flower Thrown to a passing breeze But pressed in my book Of memories Now I'm alone with you And I am oh, so blue He has tossed us aside

It's only life Getting louder all the time Do you, do you wanna bleed? Do you, do you wanna live in vain? She's so afraid to kiss And so afraid to laugh Is she runnin' from her past? She's so afraid of love Is so afraid of hate

Don't use the word "forever" We live too long to be so loved People change and I can be tethered We think we are the only ones You can't walk the streets a ghost anymore Days form like new figures down my road Each one looks more like you than you know

It won't be long, we'll meet again Numb, we're broken, here I stand alone Wondering what were the last words I said to you The face of love You've never left me The rising sun Will always speak your name Your memory is never passing

Oh, be something you love and understand "And be a simple kind of man Baby be a simple kind of man Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can" And you can do this, oh baby, if you try All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied" Mama told me

Three thousand miles over the ocean From Liverpool to Tokyo What a way to go From distant lands one woman one man Let the four winds blow Three thousand light years from the land of the rising sun Love has opened up my eyes Love has blown right through

Rock you baby on a wraparound porch Underneath a magnolia blossom Walk you down old live oak road Barefoot bridge see a sunset show Say I love you when I pull you close And you know it's true, as the gospel Ain't nobody gonna love you better than This

I am breaking through these walls Oh between you and me I'm not giving up I'm not giving giving up So brick by brick On this love The weight of my words Are like feathers from a bird My mouth, it moves but you won't hear a thing

Mister Magic, take a token Mister Magic, of my love Mister Magic, I see you through the smoke Mister Magic Every day I see you My hands were made for you And you always give me stress free point of view Pick you up after school Without you I'm misery

Can you whisper The bittersweet between my teeth Trying to find the in-betweens Fall back in love eventually Yeah yeah yeah yeah We're only young and naive still We require certain skills The mood it changes like the wind Hard to control when it begins
