rod stewart - sailing

I am sailing, I am sailing,
home again, 'cross the sea.
I am sailing, stormy waters,
to be near you, to be free.

I am flying, I am flying,
like a bird, 'cross the sky.
I am flying, passing high clouds,
to be near you. To be free

Can you hear me? can you hear me?
Trhough the dark night, far away,
I am dying, forever crying,
to be with you, who can say?

Can you hear me, can you hear me,
Trhough the dark night far away.
I am dying, forever crying,
to be with you, who can say?

We are sailing, we are sailing,
home again 'cross the sea.
We are sailing stormy waters,
to be near you, to be free.

Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free.
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free,
Oh Lord.

rod stewart - blue moon

(feat. Eric Clapton)

Once upon a time before I took up smiling
I hated the moonlight
Shadows of the night that poets find beguiling
Seemed flat as the moonlight
With no one to stay up for I went to sleep at ten
Life was a bitter cup for the saddest of all men

Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
You know just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked the moon had turned to gold

Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked the moon had turned to gold

Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Without a love of my own
Without a love of my own
Now I have a girl of my own

rod stewart - maggie may

Wake up Maggie I think I got something to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused but I feel I'm being used
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and that's what really hurts

The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age
But that don't worry me none in my eyes you're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes my love you didn't need to coax
Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home, just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without

All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
But you turned into a lover and
mother what a lover, you wore me out
All you did was wreck my bed
and in the morning kick me in the head
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore
You led me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried

(Really long Guitar Improv Bit)

I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand
Oh Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face
You made a first-class fool out of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart but I love you anyway

(guitar bit again)

Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home one of these days

rod stewart - it s over

The congregation sang
We knelt and prayed
As we stood before god
On that beautiful day
The church bells rang
And the champagne flowed
As our friends gather round
For the wedding photo
But here we are barely I've years on
An' our whole world fallin' apart

All the plans we we had together
Up in smoke and gone for ever
Poisoned by the lawyer's letter
It's over
I don't want our kids to suffer
Can we talk to one together
You were once my light, my lover

Inseparable were we
With a beezer in our sails
Now I feel a chill wind
On the marriage that fell
As I pray as I divided
They've taken their sides
Now they'll all sit back
And watch the circus arrive
I don't stand here tryin'to focus the blame
But I'm hurtin' deep down in inside

All the pain an' all all the grievin'
When did we stop believin'
Too late now to stop the bleedin'
It's over
What's the sense in pointin' fingers
Who the saint an' who the sinner
They're ain't gonna be a winner
It's over
Oh my dear, what happened to us?
Tell me, where did it all go wrong?

What's the use in keep on fightin'?
All the tears, all the cryin'
Why did you keep denyin'?
It's over
In all the time I throught I knew ya
Don't forget our children's future
I would do whatever suits ya
Oh ye-ah!
It's over
It's over
Yeah, it's over

rod stewart - brighton beach

I remember when you were only 17
You were the finest girl that my eyes had ever seen
I guess you found it hard to simply just ignore
This scruffy beat up working class teenage troubadour

So we fell in love and I tuned your heart
With my out of tune guitar
You were wonderful, you were mystical
And the envy of all of my friends
Seems like only yesterday
Under the stars on brighton beach

Oh what a time it was
What a time to be alive
Remember Janice and Jimmy
Kennedy and King
How they cried

I sang to you the songs of Lamb and Jack
You were Greta Garbo and I was Cadillac
And we played so hard and we loved so hard
Seemed we never ever slept
There were crazy days, there were wonderful days
And I loved you with all of my heart
Seems like only yesterday
Under the stars on brighton beach

Your daddy had plans that did not include me
And he won't stay away from your door
And I dreamed how I dreamed I could steal you away
To some far distant shore

Then early one morning
I awoke to find you gone
You wrote 'I love you baby
But it's time for me to move on'
And so my teenage heart laid scattered on the floor
I swear to God I could not have loved you anymore

And as I sit here the night ,playing with my kids
Wondering where you are in this world
Did you find your man, are you happy now?
Do you ever stop and think about me

How I long for yesterday
Under the stars on brighton beach

Verse 1:
My days were lonely and my nights were long

Standing right there, talking on the á¹?hone about

She bring me crackers on a long
Six foot one with a golden heart

The finest woman that I've ever known

rod stewart - can t stop me now

(Verse)
I spit on the streets in San
Called the record and company man
My enthusiasm filled the room

I was young and I was keen
With the devil in my stream
As I hollowed at an old blues tune

We can't sign your sign
'Cause we're doper than the mole
That you had on your nose and your clothes
I should thank you gentleman
For this life that you brought me
Now move on down the road

I remember how I used to say

(Chorus)
They can't stop me now
The world is waiting
It's my turn to stand out in the crowd
They can't stop me now
The tide is turning
I'm gonna make you proud

(Verse)
Well nothing was tough
But I couldn't get enough
Out this rhythm and blues I crave

I was singing in the parks
Singing in the clubs
Then along came agony

All the things he said to me
And all the things I heard
I had a point to prove

I will climb this mountain
With this god given gift
If it's the last thing that I do

And I remember thinking

(Chorus) x2
They can't stop me now
The world is waiting
It's my turn to stand out in the crowd
They can't stop me now
The tide is turning
I'm gonna make you proud

(Bridge)
Born to ramble
Born to sing
In a new world of rock n roll
Woman in particular
Feel my heart will cry
And if I hold my song

Thanks for the faith
Thanks for the patience
Thanks for the helping hand
Thanks for the love
Thanks for the guidance
Thanks for the talk and pride

(Chorus) x2
They can't stop me now
The world is waiting
It's my turn to stand out in the crowd
They can't stop me now
The tide is turning
I'm gonna make you proud

rod stewart - she makes me happy

She makes me happy on the coldest day
She makes me happy when the clouds are grey
Every day like Christmas when she's in my house
She makes me happy and I wanna shout

Now it's a funny old world
I never thought I could settle down
But then I met a woman gonna change my life around
Ah, the good Lord sent me down a little angel
I must change my ways
No more late nights out
We're on a boil, pissin' my life away

She makes me happy with her downtown style
She makes me happy with her crooked smile
I go to bed laughing and I wake up smiling
She makes me happy, she's driving me wild

I'm a stubborn kind of fella
Never thought this could happen to me
I could smoke and drink and gamble just as I please
Now I'm working out daily and I'm watching my waistline
I'm knocking in paradise
When I get home there's a hot bath waiting
Glass of wine on the side

She makes me happy when the day is done
She makes me happy like the summer sun
We're getting closer and we're making plans
She makes me happy, I want to dance, oh, yeah

She makes me happy, can you understand
She makes me happy, I'm a reborn man
She shows me loving is a wonderful thing
She makes me happy, I wanna sing, sing, sing

She makes me happy, can you understand
She makes me happy, I'm a reborn man
Every day like Christmas, when I'm in my house
She makes me happy, yes she does
She makes me happy, she makes me happy, ah, yeah

rod stewart - live the life

You wrote it in your email that you're sad and lonely
'Cause a girl in college has stolen your heart
And so my estimation of the situation
Is I bet you can't stand being apart

Listen son you gon to find a sense of perspective
Ain't no use to bury your weight in the sand
Although I kinda like your evolution of spirit
You know you got to fall before you learn how to stand

Nobody's gonna know what it's like
To walk a mile in your shoes
Such most sayin it's a wonderful world
But you make it it's up to you

Let yourself fly, let yourself cry
And years will disappear in a blink of an eye
There's music in your head , and it holds your plans
Then handle be heaven wenches in your heart
So love the life you live
And live the life you love

Everybody here has been asking about you
When's that boy of yours gonna be coming home
And when I hear the bells ringing down at the school yard
Kinda reminds me of when you were young

You know you gotta polarize your concentration
I know that girl of yours gonna understand
Never underestimate the power of affection
When you got the world in the palm of your hands

Don't go looking for the pot of gold
Or the light miracle mile
Hundred has lost in your home backyard
Be talking it could take a while

Walk down the aisle, with that big old smile
Collect your diploma with your head up high
Study with your soul, 10 weeks left on
We'll always remember, let the good times roll
Another life you live
And live the life you love

Nobody's gonna know what it's like
To walk a mile in your shoes
Such most sayin it's a wonderful world
But you make it it's up to you

So walk by the lake hand in hand
Try and see the sunset in the far away land
Tell her you love her don't be afraid
And keep every promise that you ever made
And love the life you live
Live the life you love
Love the life you live
Live the life you love

You gotta love it
You gotta love it
Make the most of it
You only got one chance
So take it with your hands
Love the life you live..

rod stewart - i don t want to talk about it

I can tell by your eyes
That you've probably been crying forever
And the stars in the sky don't mean nothing
To you, they're a mirror.

I don't wanna talk about it
How you broke my heart
But if I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart?
Oh, my heart?

If I stand all alone
Will the shadows hide the colors of my heart?
Blue for the tears, black for the night's fears
The stars in the sky don't mean nothing
To you, they're just a mirror.

I don't wanna talk about it, how you broke my heart.
But if I stay here just a little bit longer,
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart?
Oh, my heart?

rod stewart - do ya think i m sexy

Sugar
Sugar
mmm ... ooh

She sits alone waiting for suggestions
He's so nervous avoiding all her questions
His lips are dry, her heart is gently pounding
Don't you just know exactly what they're thinking?

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on, honey, tell me so

He's acting shy looking for an answer
Come on, honey, let's spend the night together
Now hold on a minute before we go much further
Give me a dime so I can phone my mother
They catch a cab to his high rise apartment
At last he can tell her exactly what his heart meant

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on, honey, tell me so

His heart's beating like a drum
'Cause at last he's got his girl home
Relax, baby, now we are alone

[break]

They wake at dawn 'cause all the birds are singing
Two total strangers but that ain't what they're thinking
Outside it's cold, misty and it's raining
They got each other, neither one's complaining
He say's I'm sorry but I'm out of milk and coffee
Never mind, sugar, we can watch the early movie

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on, honey, tell me so
Tell me so, baby

rod stewart - every beat of my heart

EVERY BEAT OF MY HEART
(R. Stewart, K. Savigar)

Through these misty eyes
I see lonely skies
Lonely road to Babylon

Where's my family
And my country
Heaven knows where I belong

Pack my bags tonight
Here's one Jacobite
Who must leave or surely die

Put me on a train
In the pouring rain
Say farewell but don't say goodbye

Chorus:
Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

One more glass of wine
Just for auld lang syne
And the girl I left behind

How I miss her now
In my darkest hour
And the way our arms entwine

Chorus

And we'll drink a toast
To the blood red rose
Cheer a while the Emerald Isle

And to the northern lights
And the swirling pipes
How they make a grown man cry

Chorus

rod stewart - everytime we say goodbye

(feat. Dave Koz)

Everytime we say goodbye
I die a little
Everytime we say goodbye
I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me
Who must be in the know
Think so little of me
They allow you to go

When you're near
There's such an air
Of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Everytime we say goodbye

There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Everytime we say goodbye

rod stewart - forever young

May the good lord be with you down every road you're on
And may sunshine and happiness, surround you when you're far fromhome
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

May good fortune be with you, may your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven with your prince or your 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

And when you finally fly away, I'll be hoping that I served youwell
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, Forver young, forever young

Forever Young
Forever Young
Forever Young
Forever Young

rod stewart - baby jane

Baby Jane don't leave me hanging on the line
I knew you when you had no one to talk to
Now you're moving in high society
don't forget I know secrets about you
I used to think you were on my side
but now I'm no longer sure
I wish I knew what I know now before

When I give my heart again
I know it's gonna last forever
No one tell me where or when
I know it's gonna last forever

Baby Jane don't it make you feel sad
just when I thought that we were winning
You and I were so close in every way
don't time fly when you're loving and laughing
I've said goodbye so many times
the situation ain't all that new
Optimism's my best defense
I'll get through without you

When I give my heart again
I know it's gonna last forever
No one tell me where or when
I know it's gonna last forever
I won't be that dumb again
I know it's gotta last forever
When I fall in love again
I know it's gonna last forever

Baby Jane I've said all I want to say
go your own way don't think twice about me
Cause I've got ideas and plans of my own
so long darlin' I'll miss you believe me
The lesson learned was so hard to swallow
but I know that I'll survive
I'm gonna take a good look at myself and cry

When I give my heart again
I know it's gonna last forever
No one tell me where or when
I know it's gonna last forever
When I fall in love next time
I know it's gonna last forever
I won't be that dumb again
I know it'll last forever
