ABOUT A JOURNEY IVE HAD

I REMEMBER SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM
FOR WE HAD NOT MET
SOMEBODY CAME IN AND THEY SAID
WOULD YOU LIKE TO MEET YOUR DAUGHTER SIR
I SAID YOU BET

BUT LIFE SEEMED DIFFERENT THEN

WELL I WATCHED YOU GROW UP
I PUT YOU THOUGH SCHOOL
SOMETIMES YOU WERE STUBOUNE
BUT MOSTLEY YOU WERE COOL
WE WERNT PERFECT PARENTS
BUT I THINK YOU NEW

YOU WERE A LOT YOUNGER THEN

(SOLO)

FROM A FATHER TO A DAUGHTER
(little girl) I WANT TO SAY TO YOU
YOU NEVER LET ME DOWN
YOU WERE ALWAYS SHINEING THOUGH
IN FACT YOU ALWAYS PICKED ME UP
WHEN I WAS FEELING BLUE

ILL ALWAYS.......REMEMBER YOUR LIFE BACK THEN

LISTEN LITTLE DARLIN WHEN
YOU BERRY ME DOWN
PLEASE DONT SHED NO TEARS
ILL AWAYS BE AROUND
LOVEIN AND WATCHIN YOU
FROM HIGH ABOVE THE GROUND

IN LIFE......
GOOD MEMORIES NEVER END
(ONCE AROUND)
YOUR JOURNEYS JUST BEGIAN.


brand new day

well i have this feeling just come over me
the rain has gone and the suns come out to play
just when you think the world ......is crashin down around you
you wake up to find new life in a brand new day

now im a simple man and i dont like complications
but lately ive been smilein in my sleep
you walked into my life......and its been keepin me awake at night
think i might have found the one thats right for me
think i might have found the one thats right for me

(chours)

now dont get me wrong im not sayin im an angle
and forgiveness say some might to good for me
i feel ready for a change and im old enough to forget the pain
and start a life ......in better company
start a new life....in better company

so lets take a chance and see where this can lead us
we can leave all the bad and sad back down the way
girl just take my hand ....and let me be your man
cause the suns commin out ...and a new life starts today

throw me a line or give me a sighn i mean it
we got nothin to loose....and everything to gain
dont lay awake alone in bed at night just dreaming
with the words i said runnin though you brain

(chours)

now dont get me wrong im not sayin im an angle
and forgiveness say some might to good for me
i feel ready for a change and im old enough to forget the pain
and start a life ......in better company
i want to start a new life....in better company



(new)THE TIN MAN
A D
you told me a story about a tin man
and how he stole your hart with just a stare
you said you ..better beware.. of the tin man
E D A
he'll dance you down the yellow brick road and leave you there.
E D A
he'll dance you down the yellow brick road and leave you there.

you had better beware the tin man
he seems so shiney and new
you say you better beware the tin man
because broken dreams....... and unherd sceams...... awakein you
because broken dreams and unherd sceams awakein you

the man of tin wears a brilliant disguise
and you watched as he was revealed
then your hopes and dreams soon turned to tears and screams when
you found his nothin...that you thought was somethin....wasnt real...
you found his nothin that you hoped was somethin wasnt real...

(chours) G D A

dont you cry cry no dont you shed a tear for the tin man
no dont you waste your presous tears ..on a rusty old tin man
dont you cry cry no dont you shed a tear for the tin man
you soon found out the man of tin was just a get you in man

the man of who you speak is real not tin
you see i met for the very first time
he said he didnt realize or see the pian in your eyes
he couldnt see forest...... from the road .......he was taught to drive
he couldnt see forest from the road and he been drivin blind

(chours) G D A

dont you shed no tears no dont you shed a tear for the tin man
no dont you waste your precious tears ..on a rusty old tin man
dont you cry cry no dont you shed a tear for the tin man
you soon found out the man of tin was just a get you in man
dont you cry cry no dont you shed a tear for the tin man
dont you cry cry no dont you shed a tear for the tin man
