Can't hold you close when you're not with me You're somebody's love, you'll never be mine Making believe that I'll spend my lifetime Making believe that you still love me It's leaving me alone and so blue I'll always dream, still I'll never own you

Where the elite always meet Down in New Orleans, the land of dreams Or just how much it really means The land of dreams where I can lose My Basin Street blues Now won't you come along with me To the Mississippi? We'll take a trip to the land of dreams

Music's playing up and down the block Mostly Christian, blues, country, folk and southern rock It's a little piece of paradise way out here in the woods There's always something going on down in the trailerhood My neighbor Carl, he lives next door Pink

I live on a lonely avenue My little girl wouldn't say I do Well, I feel so sad and blue I could cry, I could cry, I could cry (oh) Lonely avenue Now my room has got two windows But the sunshine never comes through You know it's always dark and dreary

A heart full of joy and gladness Will always banish sadness and strife So always look for the silver lining And try to find the sunny side of life Look for the silver lining Whenever a cloud appears in the blue Remember, somewhere the sun is shining And

Then we'd travel far to some big shining star Just you and my guitar And stay there sweetheart for always I lose my blues Only when I'm with you No one else can do You're in my heart to stay And when I'm gone and I'm all alone I'll be singing this song

All alone at the end of the evening and the bright lights have faded to blue I was thinkin' about a woman who might have loved me and I never knew You know I've always been a dreamer spent my life running round And it's so hard to change can't seem to

But why did it have to be me? It's only natural That's only natural I was so lonesome, I was blue I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I Always thought you knew the reason why I only wanted a little love affair Now I can see you are beginning to care

'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you Shining like the sun (sup-p-per troup-p-per) Smiling, having fun (sup-p-per troup-p-per) Feeling like a number one But I won't feel blue (sup-p-per troup-p-per) Like I always do (sup-p-per troup-p-per) Tonight

Domine, Domine, Deus Domine, Adiuva Me Hey, eh, hey, eh Electric blue eyes, where did you come from Electric blue eyes, who sent you Electric blue eyes, always be near me Electric blue eyes, I need you If you should go, You should know I love you If you
