Would You Believe?

(ransford)
Fifi the flea fell in love
With a clown from a flea circus fair
She gave him her heart
But he still couldn't see
That for such a long time she had cared
He put himself 'round all the other girl fleas
Unaware that he hurt her so badly
She cried in the arms of his manager friend
And declared that she loved the clown madly

One day fifi went
And this drove the clown wild
The poor little flea started crying
Never you mind his manager said
I ought not to tell but she's dyin'
Dyin' for love of you little flea
You've broken her heart with your lyin'
She couldn't stand to see you throw
Her love away without tryin'

The day fifi died the little clown vowed
He'd tend her grave every hour
He broke down and cried
When he saw her grave
And on it he placed a small flower
Poor little flea he wasted away
He'd lost his fifi forever
So they opened her grave
Put him inside
Now at last they are together

A winter's day in a deep and dark december
I am alone
Gazing from my window to the street below
On a freshly fallen , silent shroud of snow

I am a rock i am an island

Don't talk of love
Well, i've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
Don't disturb the slumber
Of feelings that have died
If i never loved, i never would have cried

Chorus

I build walls
A fortress deep and might
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship
Friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving i disdain

Chorus

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me

Chorus

And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries

Chorus x 2

(ransford)
How soon tears begin to tumble
From her laughing eyes
She's been talking to somebody
Who told her lies
She'll never trust in anybody no more
Who told her lies
She'll never trust in anybody no more

How can i begin to reach her
Let her know the truth
What that someone has been saying
Is only lies
She'll never trust in anybody no more
It's only lies
She'll never trust in anybody no more

How could she think that i
Would take advantage of a girl like her
How could she think that i
Would sacrifice all i have felt for her
Would sacrifice all i have felt for her

Like a flower she is fading
Soon she'll wilt and die
If she doesn't get the sunlight
That i can give
She'll never trust in anybody no more
That i can give
She'll never trust in anybody no more

Verse 4

(ransford)
Bad times, something's wrong
Money's gone, i'm on my own
Can't stay, there's nothing here
It's been a hard, hard year

First month, snows came
Put me in bed, couldn't work the same
Job's gone, bills are here
Been a hard, hard year

I look on the bad side of life
I lose heart then i want to die
So i've got to get back on my feet
And prove to myself i'm a man

I hope that the bad times are gone
It's been work, but i think that i've won
Now i'm happy
And i'll never be that way again
No, i'll never be that way again

Snow's gone, spring's here
Won't happen twice, i've seen my way clear
Everyone's paid, got no one to fear
Been a hard, hard year

(berry)
They're really rockin' in boston
Pittsburgh, pa
Deep in the heart of texas
Way down in 'frisco bay
All over st louie
Down in new orleans
All the cats going dancing
Sweet little sixteen

Sweet little sixteen
Just gotta have
Tight dresses and lipstick
Framed autographs
By tomorrow morning
She'll have to change the trend
Being sweet little sixteen
Back in class again

Verse 1

(jamison)
If i were the sun, way up there
I'd roll around almost anywhere
Oh, i'd be the moon when the sun goes down
Just to let you know, i'm still around that's how strong my love is, oh
That's how strong my love is, baby, baby
That's how strong my love is, yeah
That's how strong my love is i'd be the weeping willow, drown in my tears
You could go swimming whenever you're near
Oh, i'd be the rainbow when tears are gone
Wrap you in my colors, keep you warm

Chorus

I'd be the ocean so deep and so wide
I'd shed your tears whenever you'd cry
I'd be the breeze when the storms are gone
And dry your eyes and keep you warm

That's how strong love is, yeah
That's how strong my love is, baby, baby
That's how strong love is, listen to me know
That's how strong my love is
