Tonight I'm gonna
Have myself a ball
I'm feeling crazy
And I dont care at all

I might be the only one drinking
Maybe I'm a bit too loud but it's all right
Look out world don't try to stop me now
Its Saturday night and I'm coming alive

I'm floating on air
Walking on a thin line
And I feel ecstacy
Swimming through my veins

There's no stopping me
Cause I'm on cloud nine
And I'm gonna have
A real good time today

I've been running on fumes
Most of my life
Ive Never asked
This world for much

But tonight
It's all about me
I'm not gonna stop
Until I get enough

I'm feeling so high
I never wanna come down
I kind of like it
Up here in space

Yes I'm a shooting star
Shooting up the sky
And I'll never be
In one place

I'm floating on air
Walking on a thin line
And I feel ecstacy
Swimming through my veins

There's no stopping me
When I'm on cloud nine
And I'm gonna have
A real good time today

I'd sit alone
And read the times
Those old time stars
Burned out tonight

And all I needed
Was someone there
To let me know
They really care

We've watched and waited
We've seen them all
The bigger they are
The harder they fall

We won't forget you
Dear old friend
Like all good things
They come to an end

So say Goodbye
But we'll still miss you
When the music now
Makes us feel blue

Your time has come
Your moments here
The curtains close
It's another year

You had your chance
You had your time
You made us dance
You made us cry

I'd drive around
Throughout the night
With a pretty girl
Who treat me right

All alone
No where to go
And no one was talking
But my radio

Your time has come
The moments here
To say Goodbye
To all the years

You had your chance
You had your time
You made us dance
You made us cry

You made us all
Believe in Love
You pushed us on
When we had enough

I'm just a fool
On a subway train
Talking about the one
That got away
The people in the station
They know my name
And the girl I'll never see again

I wish that I could cry
But I'd sound so naive
I could Find a way to lie
And say she never loved me

She played my games
And I broke her heart
But she gave it to me
Right from the start
I'm just a man
And I make mistakes
I'm only human
But I'm less than that today

I'm just the fool
Who said goodbye
Even though that's not
What I had in mind
Everyone knows
That I'm to blame
They call it a loss
And say it's a shame

I wish that I could
Fall on my knees
And shout to the Heavens
"Woe is me"
Shame on me

She played my games
And I broke her heart
But she gave it to me
Right from the start
I'm just a man
And I make mistakes
I'm only human
But I'm less than that today

Why do people love
            what they fear the most?

Because it makes them realize
               they are still alive.

Well the same thing happens
On a Saturday
The bar on the corner is full
And theres always a fight
Real late at night
After a friendly game of pool

The men always come here lonely
But they never go home alone
Cause over their shoulder
Is a woman getting older
Who can't get by on her own

And it's another Saturday night
They say it's all fun and games
Yes they get crazy and have
The time of their lives
But a frown never leaves their face

Now across the bar
Is another man
Who comes here to pass the time
Cause he's sad when he drinks
And he starts to think
About the girl he left far behind

And it's another Saturday night
They say it's all fun and games
Yes they get crazy and have
The time of their lives
But a frown never leaves their face

I don't play for money
I don't care for fame
I'd rather have a soul
And forget my own name

I play for the people
Both happy and sad
To give them the joy
That I've never always had

This is a song
For the people there
Who are down to
Their pennies and their dimes
Yes tough times ahead
Will keep you in bed
This is for those who
Don't have a reason to rhyme

And the people gather round
The piano there
Those who have
A reason to sing

Cause they know that it's free
What they came to see
All the love and the joy
Life has to bring

This is a song
For those people too
Who have a reason to live
And they laugh and they love
And thank the Lord above
That they take less than
What they give

There's a girl in a window
At the coffee shop
And Lord shes seen it all
The way she's sitting looking pretty
She looks like a porcelain doll

Shes seen happy faces
And people without a reason to rhyme
They gather around her
And sit on the floor
To hear her story and forget about life

Can you feel the sunshine
Through the window
Does it ever get lonely at night
Does your heart still feel the cracks
From another owner in another time

There's a girl In the window
At a coffee shop
And man she's been around the world
In every place

Shes been handed down
In her faded blue gown
To try and bring
A smile to your face

Can you feel the sunshine
Through the window
Does it ever get lonely at night
Does your heart still feel the cracks
From another owner in another time

She has her dreams
But no one to tell
Her eyes tell a story of their own
Cause shes seen it all
And shes had a ball

They say goodbye
And they wish her well
They walk away
And leave her alone

Can you feel the sunshine
Through the window
Does it ever get lonely at night
Does your heart still feel the cracks
From another owner in another time
