HEY THERE DELILAH will you be my wife?
You're the one who completes the STORY OF MY LIFE.

You look so beautiful that I CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU.
You're sweeter than the SUGAR and this fact is really true.

For rest of our lives, I'll always SHINE YOUR WAY.
I'm the MAN WHO CAN'T BE MOVED so I will make you stay.

Stay in our relationship because with you I feel 10 FEET TALL.
And without you, my life is a BLANK SPACE and in that I feel so small.

All I ever wanted is to be SOMEBODY TO YOU.
I've never loved anyone else this much but ONLY YOU.

For me, all your LITTLE THINGS are like a bliss.
And if you give me enough time I can love you MORE THAN THIS.

I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU whenever you'll need me.
And I'll be happy as, like others, I can say SOMEBODY'S ME.

And IF YOU WANNA GO HOME, I'll surely set you free.
I can spend my life alone so just DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME.

Living alone IN THE END, is one of my greatest fears.
But that can't stop me from loving you for A THOUSAND YEARS.

i rest my head gently
against wooden beams,
cigarette smoke clouds
pillow case dreams

on a star spangled night
dangling feet off a ledge,
the moon bends light
along a noose i've pledged

the devil calls my name
the weight pulls me down
the angels aren't to blame
ignore their siren sound

i kneel beside my bed
and shake my fists above
this reckless life i've led
sings blue cobalt love

I have made mistakes, who hasn't?
I have been wrong but I still try
I have been hurt and broken down
But I am at my strongest when I cry

I have been weak and I have been blind
I have been misled along the way
But I am still able to hold my head
High at the end of each thoughtless day

I know what it is like to fall
Rejection is a good friend of mine
I have learned to accept the fact
I may never be able to truthfully say "I'm fine."

But I will not focus on the bad
Or sad songs the radio plays
Instead I'll wish for sunshine
Ignore dark clouds and rainy days

I want to sit and play with the greats.
I want to see myself singing songs that scream my soul.
I want to write and make history in a studio.
I want to be successful, but satisfied, too.

I want to master the JOURNEY of music.
I don’t want to or care about being the best, because
Who cares if an album goes platinum and
It isn’t written by the REAL you, not
Some cracked corporate cunning conning conundrum
Cancer-causing cannibalistic contagious canary that sings songs
More plastic than the casing on a vinyl?

No, I don’t believe and won’t believe
In your censorship and your lies
Telling me that the public will hear it
If the truth is full of flies
Would God be glad if you wrote that down?
Would your parents get angry and sue?
But I wrote them from what was hiding
In a basement filthy stew.

No, I don’t believe and can’t believe
In red stained glasses on brick
But those bullets they flew that day
To a shattered mind they stick.
Should I carry on the journey now?
Is it a burden worth to hold?
But I’ve got to keep the people happy
Cause a Grammy’s worth just like gold

Yes, I do believe and should believe
In the power of a sound-filled disc
The power of a musical drug
With no added harmful risk.
You wouldn’t believe if I got up to say
That I’m living 1984
But look all around at the artists that sing
Without a chance knowing of more.

I want to be strong and careless.
I want to learn more about learning more of myself.
I would like to be a member of the Plastic Ono Band
But the dream is over, and new bands start today.

Fallen leaves
in many hues
lying everywhere
in the water
on the grass
blowing to the breeze.
Whispering songs
over the crickets
and the gurgles of the stream.

Songs of the fallen leaves
of coming wisps of winter
cold winds under autumn moon
and memories of warm summers.

Fallen leaves
in many hues
singing many songs.

Is it a coincidence
That all my favorite songs
Remind me of you?
