david coverdale - too many tears

I used to be the man for you
did everything you wanted me to
so tell me baby
where did I go wrong
I told you what you wanted to know
precious secrets never spoken before
all I`asking
where did I go wrong?

Same things are better left unsaid
but all I do is cry instead
now I`ve cried me a river
thinking how it used to be

there`ve been to many tears falling
and there`ve been too many hearts
breaking in two
remember what he had together
beliving it would last forever
so tell me baby
where did I go wrong?

Everything I have it was yours
More than I have ever have given before
so won`t you tell me
did I hurt you so bad?
I guess I`m fooling myself
`couse I want you and noone else
and I can`t understand
why you`re doing these things to me

there`ve been to many tears falling
and there`ve been too many hearts
breaking in two
remember what he had together
beliving it would last forever
so tell me baby
where did I go wrong?

Now my heart is braking
my hole world is shaking
`couse I can`t understand
why you`re doing these things to me
there`s been too many tears falling

there`ve been to many tears falling
and there`ve been too many hearts
breaking in two
remember what he had together
beliving it would last forever
so tell me baby
where did I go wrong?

david coverdale - love is blind

They say love, Love is blind
And true love is hard to find
It Makes you wonder
Now you're yesterday's news
At the bitter end of a love affair:
Some you win some you lose

'Cause love is blind
Love is blind

They say time can heal the pain
But sooner or later it's back again
Don't be angry that your heart can be so wrong
When that old familiar feelings got you singing the same old song

'Cause love is blind
Love is blind

Now your days
Are spent preparing
For the nights
You sleep alone
It makes you wonder
Why you never learn from the past
'Cause this ain't the first time, baby
And it won't be the last

'Cause love is blind
Love is blind

love is blind
Love is blind

So if love, Love is blind
And true love, is so hard to find
There is only one remedy, to take away the pain
You gotta roll with the punches, baby,
Start all over again

'Cause love is blind
Love is blind

Love is blind, Love is blind, Love is blind, Love is blind
Love is blind, Love is blind, Love is blind, Love is blind
Love is blind, Love is blind, Love is blind, Love is blind
Love is blind, Love is blind, Love is blind, Love is blind

david coverdale - the last note of freedom

Here I am, burnin' man,
Singing the song of my open soul
Will time pass me?
all my dreams are heaven known

I don't wanna be cheated,
I can't go on, in a world where love is
beaten

Rise up burnin' man,
seize the wild take command.
Days of thunder see me shine,
All my dreams turn out fine

I know the suffering will end, my friend,
When the last note of freedom is rung throughout the land
I know the hateful will burn,
When the last note of freedom is heard throughout the land

I know the fear of dying,
Heard it from a meltdown blast
I know that lord have mercy,
It soon will pass
I know it
I don't wanna be cheated,
I can't go on, in a world where love is
beaten,
Where love is defeated

I know the suffering will end, my friend,
When the last note of freedom is rung throughout the land
I know the hateful will burn,
When the last note of freedom is heard throughout the land

I know the fear of dying,
Heard from a meltdown blast
I know that lord have mercy,
It soon will pass

We need love
You gotta want it so bad
We need it now,
So run to it fast

I know it,
And the world will be cheated
I can't go on, in a world where love is
defeated
I know it
I don't wanna be cheated,
I can't go on, in a world where love is
defeated

Where love is defeated
Can't go on, in a world where love's
defeated
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
The last note of freedom

david coverdale - absolution blues

Bless me, Father, I have sinned, I've broken hearts, got drunk on gin
An' still I lust for sweet young things.
On the day that I was born, bells rang out in Babylon
Still I can't tell right from wrong, no matter what the Good Book says.

Now I can see the sun is shining,
But, I can feel the rain
Falling down to wash my tears away,
Wash my tears away.

Holy Mother, save your tears, you've cried for me a thousand years
But, I was blind to all your fears.
Now I can't stop the tears from falling down.
Come the dawn of judgement day,
I'll get down on my knees and pray,
St. Peter don't you, don't you send me away.

Now I can see the sun is shining,
But, I can feel the rain
Falling down to wash my tears away.

Bless me, Father, I have sinned, I've broken hearts, got drunk on gin
An' still I lust for everything, every little thing
Come the dawn of judgement day, I'll get down on my knees and pray,
The Good Lord don't send me away, I'll never ever go.

Now I can see the sun is shining,
But, I can feel the rain
Falling down to wash my tears away.

Wash my tears away, I'll get down on my knees
Don't send me away, don't you send me away, no, no, no.

david coverdale - as long as i have you

I,
Didn't mean to cause you pain,
If you'd have me back again,
I'd be happy, never blue,
As long as I have you

I,
Get so lonely in the night,
Need you to hold me tight,
Doesn't matter, what you do,
As long as I have you
As long as I have you

I,
Don't want to live in misery,
Only you can set me free,
All my dreams will come true,
As long as I have you

As long as I have you
As long as I have you

Every morning,
I wake on up,
Wipe the tears from my eyes,
Just as long as I wake up,
I don't mind,
I don't mind,
Just as long as I have you

(musical break)

I,
Didn't mean to cause you pain,
If you'd have me back again,
I'd be happy, never blue,
As long as I have you

As long as I have you

david coverdale - blindman

I was dreaming of the past,
Why do good times never last
Help me Jesus, show the way
I can't hold on another day

I was hungry, felling low,
I just couldn't make out which way to go
Chasing rainbows that have no end,
The road is long without friend

Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul

Just a young man looking homeward,
Watching the sun go down again
Across the water, the sun is shining,
But, will it ever, will it ever be the same

Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul

I need somebody, I need someone,
I need somebody to call my own
Like a blindman, I can feel the heat of the sun,
But, like a blindman
I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know where it's coming from

Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul

I need somebody, I need someone,
I need somebody to call my own
Like a blindman, I can feel the heat of the sun,
But, like a blindman
I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know where is coming from

david coverdale - lady

She got them eagle feathers; cocaine eyes
She got the heat to make a dead man rise
A rose in her hair, a devil may care attitude
She never said she would stay by my side
She only wanted to be there for the ride
A bottle of wine, a coupla lines
She was there for the night
Tried to change her ways
I said I'd keep her in a golden cage
She said: "Oh no this ain't no place for me"

Angel of mercy, angel of greed
Never stop till she get what she need
She dance like Salome
An' curses with a matelot tongue
I said baby won't you slow down for me
You gotta move if you wanna be free
Like the wind I'm just blowin' anywhere I please
Tried to change her ways
I said I'd keep her in a golden cage
She said: "Oh no, this ain't no place for me"

Lady, you're no lady
Youre my woman
Got the love I need
You are my woman
Never change her ways
Never keep her in a golden cage
Cos she say: "Oh no, this ain't no place for me"

Tried to change her ways
I said I'd keep her in a golden cage
She said: "Oh no, this ain't no place for me"

Lady, you're no lady
Youre my woman
Got the love I need
You are my woman
Never change her ways
Never keep her in a golden cage
Cos she say: "Oh no, this ain't no place for me"
Cos she say: "Oh no, this ain't no place for me"

You might as well set me free...

david coverdale - living on love

When I need a hand to guide me
I find you there
and everything you give to me
is filled with love and care
you taka away the momory
of a thousand rainy days
with promisses of summer love
you chase the clouds away

now if the sky should fill with rain
I Know the sun will shine again
when I think of all the heartache
I`ve been through
the many mistakes I had to make
to head me here to you
all the trust and sedness
don`t seem too much
as the walls I built around my heart
crumble when we touch
though my live was filled with pain
you show me how to love again

Now I never gonna run
Never gonna hide
I`m living on love
never gonna run
never gonna hide
I`m living on love
nothin gonna stop me now
I`m living on love with you

So as you lay beside me
I`ll sing songs of love to you
`cos everything I`m feeling babe
I know you feel it too
nothing can came between us
no dark clouds in the way
all the love
I feel for you
grows stronger everyday
after all we said and done
I know you`re the only one

Now I never gonna run
Never gonna hide
I`m living on love
never gonna run
never gonna hide
I`m living on love
nothin gonna stop me now
I`m living on love with you

david coverdale - midnight blue

In the cold light of the morning
I watch the sunrise slowly downing
I clode my eyes and I see you there
and the silence takes my breath away
I can`t stand to face another day
in the evening when the sun goes down
I reach out for you but you`re not around
you color my world midnight blue
so what`s a man like me to do
with all the love I feel for you

Came and take me midnight blue
here I`m waiting for you
when I`m trouble and all alone
you shine down on me
when I need sympathy

Under street lights I walk alone
hiding in shadows from dusk to dawn
the taste of your perfume
on the cold night air
leaves a sadness hanging over me
the tought of you won`t let me be

Came and take me midnight blue
here I`m waiting for you
when I`m trouble and all alone
you shine down on me
when I need sympathy

david coverdale - sunny days

I'm tired of bars in Boston
'bin feeling small in New York
Scared of guns in Houston
An' tired of business talk

Don't wanna talk about it baby,
Don't wanna get in no fight
I just wanna go to a rock'n'roll show
an' shiver and shake all night...

There's a riot in the Hyatt
An' madness in the Holiday Inn
So throw your big leg over me, babe
I might not feel this good again

C-c-crazy, the road can make you crazy
Makes you bold, an' get cold
Cold in your jellyroll...
So wontcha...

Take me back to sunny days again
I won't be leavin' until the summer ends
Leave me in the company of friends
I left behind me, many miles away...

Here, there, everywhere
No doubt about it, I had my share
Paid my dues, got my rock'n'roll shoes
An' thats alright?
But, I never, never, never thought I'd see the day
When I'd be dancin alone, so take me where the music,
Take me where the music play...
Then you can...

Take me back to sunny days again
I won't be leaving until the summer ends
Leave me in the company of friends
I left behind me many
Oh so many...
I left behind me...
Many miles away...

david coverdale - take a look at yourself

The first thing in the morning, the last thing at night,
I just wanna hold you, babe, and make you feel alright.
When the sun is shining, or the sky is filled with rain,
Wherever we may be, I'm gonna make love with you again.

Now I don't need a crystal ball to tell me it's true,
'Cos I've crossed too many rivers on my way to finding you.
Your smile, like a summer sun, can brighten my day
And when I'm feeling down, you chase the dark clouds away.

There ain't no doubt about it, baby,
I'm gonna shout about it.

Take a look at yourself,
Can't you see why I want you and nobody else.
'Cos the first thing in the morning,
The last thing at night.
I just wanna hold you, babe,
An' make you feel alright.

Sometimes I feel it in my bones, when the cold northwinds blow
But, when you put your arms around me, I can feel it no more.
I've been guilty of a thousand crimes in matters of the heart
But, just the thought of losing you, tears me apart.

There ain't no doubt about it, baby,
I'm gonna shout about it.

Take a look at yourself,
Can't you see why I want you and nobody else.
'Cos the first thing in the morning,
The last thing at night.
I just wanna hold you, babe,
An' make you feel alright.

There ain't no doubt about it, babe,
I'm gonna shout about it.

Take a look at yourself,
Can't you see why I want you and nobody else.
'Cos the first thing in the morning,
The last thing at night.
I just wanna hold you, babe,
An' make you feel alright...

david coverdale - take me for a little while

(Coverdale/Page)

Now my days are growing cold,
All the memories unfold
Thinking 'bout the friends we lost,
Wondering how to count the cost,
Now my days are growing cold

I can hardly wait any longer,
Now the feeling's growing stronger
Thinking 'bout the times we had,
Good times always turn into bad,
Now my days are growing cold

Why don't you take me for a little while,
Sing me songs, you know, will make me smile
Why don't you take me for a little while

As I watch the rising sun,
I see a new day just begun
Thinking 'bout the sacrifice,
Wondering how to pay the price,
Now my world is growing cold

Why don't you take me for a little while,
Sing me songs, you know, will make me smile, make me smile
Why don't you take me for a little while

So now my days are growing cold,
All my memories been told
Thinking 'bout the dreams we lost,
Wondering how to count the cost
Now my days are growing cold

Why don't you take me for a little while,
Sing me songs, you know, will make me smile
Why don't you take me for a little while,
Sing me songs, you know, will make, me make, me make, me smile

Why don't you take me for a little while,
Sing me songs, you know, will make me smile.
Why don't you take me for a little while,
Sing me songs, you know, will make, me make, me make, me smile.

Make me smile...

Why don't you take me for a little while,
Sing me songs, you know, will make me, make me, make me smile.
Somebody take me, take me, won't you make me smile...

david coverdale - breakdown

Getting near the end, now I knew the time was right for a breakdown
Megaton surprise but your eyes never made it a shakedown
Shot you full of rock 'n' roll, couldn't make your soul,
Didn't burn you to the bone
Do what the man says, take the money and run

But, I never saw the splendour
In stealing all your gold,
Taking all your silver
And doing what I'm told

I never saw the tears but I knew you cried for rhythm 'n' blues
Screaming like a wildcat I knew that I had nothing to lose
Shot you full of rock 'n' roll, couldn't make your soul,
Didn't burn you to the bone
Do what the man says, take the money and run

But, I never saw the splendour
In stealing all your gold,
Taking all your silver
And doing what I'm told.

It's just a breakdown,
Breakdown,
Breakdown,
Breakdown

Shaking like a leaf in the wind see me blowing away
Never see me fall on the ground till I've had my say
Shot you full of rock 'n' roll, couldn't make your soul,
Didn't burn you to the bone
Do what the man says, take the money and run

But, I never saw the splendour
In stealing all your gold,
Taking all your silver
And doing what I'm told

It's just a breakdown,
Breakdown,
Breakdown,
It's just a breakdown

Getting near the end, now I knew the time was right for a breakdown
Megaton surprise but your eyes never made it a shakedown
Shot you full of rock 'n' roll, couldn't make your soul,
Didn't burn you to the bone
Do what the man says, take the money and run

But, I never saw the splendour
In stealing all your gold,
Taking all your silver
And doing what I'm told

It's just a breakdown,
Breakdown,
Breakdown,
Breakdown

david coverdale - celebration

I was running for the folks I know
never had it good
but don't know if they're feeling fine
Had to leave them soon
Recently I seem to have
become a new born man
I want to share with everyone
what happened in my past

Open up the door,
gonna be down the road
Celebration, celebration,
celebration, celebration

Feeling come and go again
never have to please
After she let you down
bring you to your knees

When you're feeling good,
nothing you can do
gonna take you to the Mardi Gras
piss it out on you

Gonna make you feel alright
Gonna make it through the night
Celebration, celebration,
celebration, celebration

If you want to know
what happend in the past
never had it good
come on in and see the crime
I really believe they should

Recently I've seen to have
become an new born man
I want to share with everyone
what happened in my past

I've never been one to tease
Only want to please
Celebration, celebration,
celebration, celebration

Celebration - I just want to celebrate
Celebration - gimme two, give me one
