The warden threw a party in the county jail.
The prison band was there and they began to wail.
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing.
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.

Spider murphy played the tenor saxophone,
Little joe was blowin' on the slide trombone.
The drummer boy from illinois went crash, boom, bang,
The whole rhythm section was the purple gang.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.


Number forty-seven said to number three:
"you're the cutest jailbird i ever did see.
I sure would be delighted with your company,
Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.


The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone.
The warden said, "hey, buddy, don't you be no square.
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.


Shifty henry said to bugs, "for heaven's sake,
No one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break."
Bugsy turned to shifty and he said, "nix nix,
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.

The other night dear, as i lay sleeping
I dreamed i held you in my arms
When i awoke, dear, i was mistaken
So i hung my head and i cried.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much i miss you
Please don't take my sunshine away


I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me to love another,
You'll regret it all some day:


Chorus


You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between.
But not you've left me and love another;
You have shattered all my dreams:


Chorus

There's two things i know for sure,
She was sent here from heaven,
And she's daddy's little girl.
As i drop to my knees by her bed at night,
She talks to jesus and i close my eyes.
And i thank god for all < of >the joy in my life,
But most of all, for...

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair.
"walk beside the pony daddy,
Its my first ride."
"i know the cake looks funny,
Daddy, but i sure tried."
Oh, with all that i've done wrong,
I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning
And butterfly kisses at night.

Sweet sixteen today,
She's looking like her momma
A little more every day.
One part woman, the other part girl.
To perfume and makeup,
From ribbons and curls.
Trying her wings out in a great
Big world. but i remember...

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair.
"you know how much i love you daddy,
But if you don't mind,
I'm only going to kiss you on
The cheek this time."
With all that i've done wrong,
I must have done something right.
To deserve her love every morning,
And butterfly kisses at night.

All the precious time
Like the wind, the years go by
Precious butterfly
Spread your wings and fly

She'll change her name today.
She'll make a promise,
And i'll give her away.
Standing in the bride room
Just staring at her,
She asked me what i'm thinking,
And i said "i'm not sure,
I just feel like l'm losing my baby girl."
Then she leaned over...and gave me...
Butterfly kisses, with her mama there
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair
"walk me down the aisle daddy, its just about time"
"does my wedding gown look pretty daddy?"
"daddy don't cry "
With all that i've done wrong, i must have
Done something right
To deserve her love every morning
And butterfly kisses
I couldn't ask god for more, man, this is
What love is
I know i've gotta let her go, but i'll always remember
Every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses...

( duet with johnny hallyday-english version )

( johnny's part )
I'm coming out with my angel,
Put down your guns and i'll...confess.
I loved her more than life itself,
My angel in a pale blue dress.
But if you want to shoot, then shoot,
I'd welcome an eternal sleep.
No man has ever felt a love,
So deep.


( michael's part )
I took her life, her tender life,
I couldn't bear to think that she,
Could laugh and love and give herself,
To any other man than me.
So if my world would end tonight,
I will not cry...i do not care.
I'll meet her in another life,
Somewhere.


Chorus:
( johnny and michael )
I was a fool, a fool for love,
A fool who believed, that she came from above.
I'll stay a fool, until i die,
She was my world, my breath, my sky.
I'm just a fool, who lost all control,
Along with my soul.
In time the fool, becomes a clown,
And you all laugh, as i fall down.


( michael's part )
I'll never be at peace again,
I'll never feel her warm caress,
I'll leave each day just thinking of,
My angel in a pale blue dress.


( johnny's part )
And when her body's in the ground,
Make sure you save a space for me,
For that's the only place, i long to be.


Chorus:

All day long i hear the telephone ring
Friends calling, giving their advice
From the one i love, i should break away
Those heartaches, you'll bring me one day, oh

I listened to my friends' advice
But it's not gonna happen twice
All advice ever brought my way
Were many long and sleepless nights


Chorus:
Got you back in my arms again
Right by my side
I got you right back in my arms again
So satisfied


So easy for others to say, that i should let you go
They don't know how strong my love is
But i sure can't get along


It's time i live my life for me
Being happier than i ever knew i'd been
And each time we make romance
I'm thankful for a second chance


Chorus:


All day long i hear the telephone ring
Friends calling, giving their advice
From the one i love, i should break away
Those heartaches you'll bring me one day


I listened to my friends advice
But it's not gonna happen twice
All advice ever brought my way
Were many long and sleepless nights


Chorus:

Don't look back
Don't be scared
We've got dreams and we're still young
Just think about how far we've come
Think of all
We have shared
It's a wonder we survive
But here we are and we're alive!
Can we hold on, hold on?
Take a moment to celebrate
Now before we are gone
Take a moment to celebrate
There's music in the wind
Let's dance one more time
There's a rhythm deep within
Let's dance one more time

(chorus)


One more time
Sing the song
There's a power in our voices
Hopeful and strong


Years from now
Somewhere down the line
We'll remember and we'll all sing
One more time


(zulu chant)
See cel la bo lay la
(trans.we will sing.)

( duet with kenny g )
Sittin' here, just starin' at your picture
Waiting for your call
So unclear, i'm hanging on a notion
We could have it all
Time and time again, you tell me to be patient
But we can't let love slip away


Chorus:
Oh baby, don't make me wait for love this time
Oh darlin', a love like this is hard to find
Don't make me wait for love


I close the blinds and try to hide the darkness
Fall asleep alone
Give me a sign, a man's not suppose to face life
Standing on his own
When you're near me, i can't help but see forever
Come and rescue me tonight


Chorus:


Oh baby, don't make me wait for love this time
Oh darlin', a love like this is hard to find
Don't you see i need ya, gotta have ya
Oh baby, don't make me wait for love this time
Oh oh darlin', a love like this is hard to find
Don't make me wait for love


Oh baby, don't make me wait
Don't make me wait for love this time
No no i need you right now, i need you right now
Oh darlin', a love like this, a love like this
Is so very hard to find, don't make me wait
Don't make me wait for love

Lonely fear lights up the sky
Can't help but wonder why
You're so far away
There, you had to take a stand
In someone else's land
Life can be so strange

I wish we never had to choose
To either win or lose
We could find a way
But i won't turn my back again
You're only around the bend
So hurry home till then...till then


Chorus:
Stand tall, stand tall
Voices that care are crying out loud
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright


Hurry home


I'm not here to justify the cause
Or to count up all the loss
That's all been done before


Just can't let ya feel alone
When there's so much love at home
We send it out to you
(michaels' solo)
All the courage that you've known
The bravery you've shown
Clearly lights the way


We pray, to make the future bright
To make the wrong things right
Right or wrong
We're all prayin' you remain strong
That's why we're all here and singin' along


Chorus:


(michaels' solo) voices that care are cryin' out loud, yeah
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright


You are the voice, you are the light


Chorus:


Stand tall, stand tall
(michael) stand proud
Voices that care are crying out loud
They're crying out loud
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright


Stand tall, stand tall
Voices that care are crying out loud
Ooh, and when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright
You are the voice and the guiding light
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright

All of this time
I've been tellin' myself the truth
I love you
And that's the easiest thing to do, yeah
How do i describe
How ya turn my world around
Ain't no wonder why those words
Are those ones i've never found
Oh girl, there's so much i mean to say
And i'll keep tryin'
Till i finally find a way

Chorus
When we make love
Heart to heart
Speak from our souls
We come shinin' through the dark
We reach the stars
Still by far the deepest part
Is (are) the moment(s) when the tears begin to fall
When there really are no words
That's when we say it all

And how many times when you're lyin' close to me
Have ya shown me baby
How much in life don't really mean a thing
All that matters and in all the world remain
Is your love and all ya mean to say
And then hey baby, the heaven in your eyes
Is all i see that means everything to me

Chorus
There's a power in the silence
Where the truth is just too much
There's a place of pure emotion
Words were never meant to touch

Chorus
When there are no words
That's when we say it
'cause there are no words
When we say it
There are no words
