[Verse 1]:
I can feel uncertainty clouding your thoughts
Though I haven’t seen you for days
And darling, it pains me to know you’re in so much pain
And I wish I could take all your problems away, but baby,
I know that’s not what you need
But if you’d like a couple of hours to escape
Come spend some time with me

[Chorus]:
‘Cause darling, I
I like you, even when you’re sad
You don’t have to put on a happy face for me
You don’t have to pretend to be somebody else
Even on the days when you don’t feel like yourself
You don’t have to put on a happy face for me

[Verse 2]:
I’ve known some people who were so damn happy
They’d never let you be sad
You’d better look on the bright side,
Or they get mad
But I know there’s no way to have ups without downs
‘Cause darling, life is bittersweet
So I would never ask you to smile all the time
Just like I know you wouldn’t ask it of me

[Chorus]:
‘Cause darling, I
I like you, even when you’re sad
You don’t have to put on a happy face for me
You don’t have to pretend to be somebody else
Even on the days when you don’t feel like yourself
You don’t have to put on a happy face for me

[Bridge]:
‘Cause you’ve already given me so many smiles
In the short little time that we’ve had
So I don’t really mind it, if once in a while
You feel bad

[Chorus]:
‘Cause darling, I
I like you, even when you’re sad
You don’t have to put on a happy face for me
You don’t have to pretend to be somebody else
Even on the days when you don’t feel like yourself
You don’t have to put on a happy face for me
You don’t have to put on a happy face
Just for me

[Verse 1]:
Little sounds in my head
Telling me not to cry
Just to lay here in bed
To just let it slide
I’ve been waiting so long
For a cool wind to come
For a hint of a song
That has never been song
I don’t want to fake it,
Forcing myself to begin
I think I could make it
Just as the light rushes in

[Chorus]:
With a beautiful mind
Unencumbered and clean
How I wish I could find myself
In a much better scene
With a beautiful mind
Unencumbered by doubt
How I wish I could find my way
And let all the love out

[Verse 2]:
In a dark, rolling sea
With the waves overhead
I’ve been trying to break free
From the lives that I’ve led
But there’s always some thought
Pulling me from the path
And I’ve almost forgot
How to get myself back
The cure for my blindness,
Somewhere in front of my face
And if I could find it,
Just for a moment of grace

[Chorus]:
With a beautiful mind
Unencumbered and clean
How I wish I could find myself
In a much better scene
With a beautiful mind
Unencumbered by doubt
How I wish I could find my way
And let all the love out

[Bridge]:
I’ve been starting to see what my sanity needs
At the edge of each day
I’ve been starting to breathe a new sigh of relief
As the fog lifts away

[Chorus]:
To a beautiful mind
Unencumbered and clean
How I wish I could find myself
In a much better scene
With a beautiful mind
Unencumbered by doubt
How I wish I could find my way
And let all the love out

[Verse 1]:
Every day it’s getting harder to wake up
And face the loneliness and pain
Every night in bed, I’m tossing and I’m turning
Trying to calm my worried brain
I never know when you’re coming or you’re going
And I don’t know where you’ve been
My body’s aching, like a fiend you got me shaking
Just to taste your love again

[Verse 2]:
It seems to me we started out just lovers
And we ended up just friends
We lost the passion when our lust went out of fashion
Now we’re too tired to pretend
Not even God can make you want what you don’t want
And I ain’t got what you want anymore
And I don’t know that there’s a man alive
That likes to be treated like a chore
I know that….

[Chorus]:
Life’s too short to wait this long
For you to give me what I want
I’m sick of trying to be polite
‘Cause I’ve been trying for too long
I don’t want to walk away from you
But I cannot keep hanging on
Until all the damage has been done,
And all the love is gone
Whoa-whoa-oh
Until all the damage has been done,
And all the love is gone

[Verse 3]:
I need a lover, I don’t need another mother
I don’t need a sister or a friend
I need a body that can give my body
What it needs to feel alive again
I need a love that can fill my soul
And I don’t want to look for someone new
I want a woman who wants me bad
And I want her to be you
‘Cause I know that…

[Chorus]:
Life’s too short to wait this long
For you to give me what I want
I’m sick of trying to be polite
‘Cause I’ve been trying for too long
I don’t want to walk away from you
But I cannot keep hanging on
Until all the damage has been done,
And all the love is gone
Whoa-whoa-oh
Until all the damage has been done,
And all the love is gone

[Verse 4]:
I don’t want to have to beg and plead
Just to get your lovin’ now and then
I don’t want to be an obligation,
And I don’t want to be just friends
I want to be the forbidden pleasure
That you never speak about
I want to be the name on your lips
In the night when you scream out loud
‘Cause I know that

[Chorus]:
Life’s too short to wait this long
For you to give me what I want
I’m sick of trying to be polite
‘Cause I’ve been trying for too long
I don’t want to walk away from you
But I cannot keep hanging on
Until all the damage has been done,
And all the love is gone
Whoa-whoa-oh
Until all the damage has been done,
And all the love is gone
Don’t make me wait till
The damage has been done
The songs have all been sung
I’ve got to get out while I’m still young
‘Cause all the love is gone

[Verse 1]:
Walking through my lonely life one sunny summer day
You came and took me by surprise
What I’d thought was mystery or some forgotten fantasy
Was right before my eyes
Floating somewhere in between those little things I’d never seen
But always waited for
And when I saw you there, I heard a music in the air
That I had never heard before

[Chorus]:
Didn’t know I could feel so alive
Till I found myself lost in your eyes
But I don’t know when I’ll see you again,
Dragonfly
But I can feel something change in my life
Every time that you float through my mind
Even when you’re not here by my side,
Dragonfly

[Verse 2]:
So lost in this moment, I forget to think about
Exactly what the future holds
Just enjoy each day because I know you’ll fly away
Before the winter gets too cold
But I know in my memory, and every song you gave to me
Our love will still live on
And I’ll just have to close my eyes, and I’ll see you, my dragonfly
So beautiful and strong

[Chorus]:
Didn’t know I could feel so alive
Till I found myself lost in your eyes
But I don’t know when I’ll see you again,
Dragonfly
But I can feel something change in my life
Every time that you float through my mind
Even when you’re not here by my side,
Dragonfly

[Bridge]:
And I know I can’t catch you,
But I’m happy to sit mesmerized
Just watching the beautiful way
That you fly

[Chorus]:
Didn’t know I could feel so alive
Till I found myself lost in your eyes
But I don’t know when I’ll see you again,
Dragonfly
But I can feel something change in my life
Every time that you float through my mind
Even when you’re not here by my side,
Dragonfly
Yes, I feel something change in my life
Every time that you float through my mind
Even when you’re not here by my side,
Dragonfly.

[Verse 1]:
It’s getting late now, and the fire is dying down
It’s almost time to say goodnight
But I can’t keep myself from blowing on the coals
Just to try to get one last spark to ignite
‘Cause I guess I’m just not ready
To face the night alone
So I have to ask you once,
Before you go

[Chorus]:
Don’t leave me yet
The door is open,
but don’t leave me yet
If you would be so kind,
To give me just a little time
To steel myself for your goodbye
Don’t leave me yet

[Verse 2]:
I always knew that I could never tie you down
I wouldn’t be the kind to try
But I got awful used to having you around
And the warmth you brought to all my lonely nights
So before we let this lovely present fade into the past
There’s just one little favor I would ask

[Chorus]:
Don’t leave me yet
The door is open,
but don’t leave me yet
If you would be so kind,
To give me just a little time
To steel myself for your goodbye
Don’t leave me yet

[Bridge]:
I don’t know which one of us will be
The one to make a move
But I can tell we both know something’s bound to change
So I’m trying to find the strength to be
The first to walk away
‘Cause I don’t want to have to be the one to say

[Chorus]:
Don’t leave me yet
That’s all I’m asking,
Please don’t leave me yet
If you would be so kind,
To give me just a little time
To steel myself for your goodbye
Don’t leave me yet

[Verse 1]:
I’m feeling bold enough to take the sky
I hear a silent wind whispering in my ear
I want to climb right up to the frozen mountain heights
Above the clouds of anger, doubt, and fear

The day is cold, and I don’t know where I’m going
But there’s a voice inside me that drives me on
I’m going to steel myself in the simple truth of knowing
That there is no one else who can sing my song

‘Cause I’ve been stuck inside myself for far too long
I want to break out on the sky just like the dawn

[Chorus]:
To ride a ship across the seven seas
With all our banners flapping in the breeze
Our compass guided only by the stars
We’ll catch a wind to take us up to Mars
‘Cause there’s nothing to hold us back from who we are

[Verse 2]:
I know the storms and swells will be set against me
I know the kraken lurk at every turn
But I will stay my course through whatever life may send me
And though my hands may shake, my heart is firm

And if I never see that promised distant shore
I’ll gladly live the sailor’s life forever more

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]:
And if the dream starts to fade, I know
We’ll wake up somewhere else
And it’ll be a new day
To be ourselves

[Repeat chorus]

[Verse 1]:
Deep in the night, I’ve been seeking a light
Hoping to kindle a fire
Feeling so cold here with no one to hold
Only my burning desire
Give me hope for this miserable season
Give me something to make me inspired

[Chorus]:
The light of my love gives me strength to move forward
The light in my heart lets me know it’s alright
The light of my love helps me not be too morbid
The light in my heart helps me do what is right
So I keep on strolling
As time keeps on rolling me right through my life

[Verse 2]:
All through the years I’ve been dancing with fear
Trying to be true to myself
Playing the game through the anger and shame
Stories that I never tell
But I’m learning to love who it made me
And I’ll never be anyone else

[Repeat chorus]

[Bridge]:
There’s times when I’m shaking inside,
And I don’t know why
But I just keep taking my time
With love as my guide
