01-BEST THAT YOU CAN DO – Re m
Christopher Cross
Once in your life you find her
Someone that turns your heart around
And next thing you know you're closing
down the town
Wake up and it's still with you
Even though you left her way across town
Wondering to yourself,
"Hey, what've I found?"
When you get caught between the Moon
and New York City
I know it's crazy,
but it's true
If you get caught between the Moon
and New York City
The best that you can do ......
The best that you can do
is fall in love
Arthur he does as he pleases
All of his life, he's mastered choice
Deep in his heart, he's just,
Living his life one day at a time
And showing himself a really good time
Laughing about the way
they want him to be
When you get caught between the Moon
and New York City
I know it's crazy,
but it's true
If you get caught between the Moon
and New York City
The best that you can do .....
The best that you can do is fall in love (X2)
-Sax solo-
The best that you can do .....
The best that you can do is fall in love
02-ALL RIGHT – Mi M
Christopher Cross
i know, i know what's on your mind
and i know it gets tough sometimes.
but you can give it one more try
to find another reason why,
you should pick it up
and try it again
‘cause it's
all right - i think we're gonna make it,
i think it might just work out this time.
it's all right - i think we're gonna make it
i think it might work out fine this time
it's all right - i think we're gonna make it
i think it might just work out,
‘cause it's
not too late for that - too late for me.
I know i've been hurt before
and i know i really shouldn't give any more.
but this time,
this time things seem just a little different.
and when i look in your eyes,
you know i can see that it's true.
and i hear you say:
It's all right - i think we're gonna make it,
i think it might just work out this time.
it's all right - i think we're gonna make it
i think it might work out fine this time
it's all right - i think we're gonna make it
i think it might just work out,
‘cause it's not too late for that - too late for me.
Just when you feel helpless, nothing left to say.
love will find us. the past behind us - then we're on our way.
Instrumental solo
Time and time again i see
people so unsure like me,
we all know it gets heard sometimes
you can give it one more try,
find another reason why you should pick it up,
you should kick it up and try it again.
‘cause it's all right - i think we're gonna make it,
i think it might just work out this time.
it's all right - i think we're gonna make it
i think it might work out fine this time
it's all right - i think we're gonna make it
i think it might just work out,
‘cause it's not too late for that - too late for me.
03-NEVER BE THE SAME – La M
Christopher Cross
It was good for me
It was good for you
Now nothing either of us can say or do
Can change the way you feel tonight
Sometimes love just slips out of sight
Just one thing before you go
Just one thing that you've got to know
No one will ever touch me that way
The way that you did that very first day
And I'll
Never be the same without you here
I'll live alone
Hide myself behind my tears
And I'll
Never be the same without your love
I'll live alone
Try so hard to rise above
There's always someone new
To try and help me forget about you
Time and again it does me no good
Love never feels the way that it should
I loved you then I guess
I'll love you forever
And even though I know we
could never stay together
I think about how it could have been
If we could just start all over again
It was good for me
It was good for you
Now nothing either of us can say or do
Can change the way you feel today
Sometimes love just slips away
04-RIDE LIKE THE WIND – C1 La M
Christopher Cross
It is the night
My body's weak
I'm on the run
No time for sleep
I've got to ride
Ride like the wind
To be free again
And I've got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride
like the wind
(Ride like the wind)
I was born the son
of a lawless man
Always spoke my mind
with a gun in my hand
Lived nine lives
Gunned down ten
Gonna ride like the wind
And I've got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride
like the wind
(Ride like the wind)
Ride like the wind… (orchestral)
Accused and tried
and told to hang
I was nowhere in sight
when the Church bells rang
And I've got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride
like the wind
(Ride like the wind)
05-SAILING – La M
Christopher Cross
Well, it's not far down to paradise,
at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right
you can sail away
and find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles,
just you wait and see.
Believe me.
It's not far to never-never land,
no reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles,
just you wait and see.
Believe me.
Sailing
takes me away to where
I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind
And soon I will be free
Fantasy, it gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie,
every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me?
[Chorus]
Well it's not far back to sanity,
at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right
you can sail away
and find serenity
Oh, the canvas can do miracles,
just you wait and see.
Believe me.
[Chorus]
