Lyrics for Sunday
DOCTOR MY EYES – Jackson Browne
Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could, to see the evil and the good
Without hiding. You must help me if you can
Doctor, my eyes, tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long
‘Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled, I’ve been waiting
To awaken from these dreams
People go just where they will, I never noticed them until
I got this feeling that it’s later than it seems
Doctor, my eyes, tell me what you see
I hear their cries, just say if it’s too late for me
Doctor, my eyes cannot see the sky
Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry
100 YEARS – Five for Fighting
I’m fifteen for a moment, caught in between ten and twenty
And I’m just dreaming, counting the ways to where you are
I’m twenty-two for a moment, and she feels better than ever
And we’re on fire, making our way back from Mars
Fifteen. There’s still time for you, time to buy and time to lose
Fifteen. There’s never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live.
I’m thirty-three for a moment, I’m still the man but you see I’m a they;
A kid on the way, a family on my mind
I’m forty-five for a moment. The sea is high and I’m heading
into a crisis, chasing the years of my life
Fifteen. There’s still time for you,
Time to buy and time to lose yourself within a morning star
Fifteen, I’m all right with you.
Fifteen, there’s never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live.
Half time goes by, suddenly you’re wise
Another blink of an eye, sixty-seven is gone
The sun is getting high, We’re moving on.
I’m ninety-nine for a moment, I’m dying for just another moment
I’m just dreaming, counting the ways to where you are
Fifteen, there’s still time for you. Twenty-two, I feel her too
Thirty-three, you’re on your way. Every day’s a new Day
Ooh
Fifteen, there’s still time for you. Time to buy and time to choose
Hey, fifteen, there’s never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live
FOREVER YOUNG – Rod Stewart version
May the good Lord be with you down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness surround you when you’re far from home
And may you grow to be proud, dignified and true.
And do unto others as you’d have done to you
Be courageous and be brave, and in my heart you’ll always stay
Forever young (forever young), forever young (forever young).
May good fortune be with you, may your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven with a prince or a vagabond
And may you never love in vain, and in my heart you will remain
Forever young (forever young), forever young (forever young).
Forever young, forever young.
And when you finally fly away I’ll be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime no one can ever tell
But whatever road you choose, I’m right behind you, win or lose
Forever young (forever young), forever young (forever young).
Forever young, forever young.
For, forever young, forever young.
THE BOYS OF SUMMER – Don Henley
Nobody on the road, nobody on the beach.
I feel it in the air, the summer’s out of reach.
Empty lake, empty streets, the sun goes down alone.
I’m driving by your house, though I know you’re not home.
CHORUS
But I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby.
I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone.
I never will forget those nights, I wonder if it was a dream.
Remember how you made me crazy, remember how I made you scream.
Now I don’t understand what happened to our love.
But babe, I’m gonna get you back, I’m gonna show you what I’m made of.
I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.
I see you walkin’ real slow and smiling to everyone.
I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone.
Out on the road today I saw a Deadhead Sticker on a Cadillac.
A little voice inside my head said: “Don’t look back, you can never look back.”
I thought I knew what love was. What did I know?
Those days are gone forever, I should just let ’em go, but
I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.
You got the top pulled down and radio on, baby.
I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone.
I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.
You got your hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby.
I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone.
