Merry Christmas baby, you sure did treat me nice
Merry Christmas baby, you sure did treat me nice
Gave me a diamond ring for Christmas
Now I'm living in paradise

Well I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio
Well I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio
Well I want to kiss you baby
While you're standing beneath the mistletoe

Saint Nick came down the chimney, about a half past three
Left all these pretty presents that you see before me
Merry Christmas pretty baby, you sure been good to me
Well I haven't had a drink this morning, but I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree

Return to sender
Return to sender

I gave a letter to the postman,
He put it his sack.
Bright in early next morning,
He brought my letter back.

She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.
We had a quarrel, a lovers spat
I write I'm sorry, but my letter keeps coming back.

So then I dropped it in the mailbox
And sent it Special D.
Bright and early next morning
It came right back to me.

She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such person, no such zone.

This time I'm gonna take it myself
And put it right in her hand.
And if it comes back the very next day
Then I'll understand - the writing on it.

Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.

Return to sender

Instead of dreaming
I Sleepwalk
Cause I lost you
And now what am I to do
What to do.
Can't believe that we're through
I don't care how much you tell me

Sleeptalk
Cause I miss you
While the memory of you
Lingers like a song
Darling, I was so wrong
But I'll be right some day

The night fills my lonely place
I see your face
I know, I miss you so
I still love you
And it drives me insane

Sleepwalk
Every night I just Sleepwalk
And when you walk inside the door
I will Sleepwalk no more

Sleepwalk
Every night I just Sleepwalk
And when you walk inside the door
I will Sleepwalk no more

I will Sleepwalk no more

I will Sleepwalk no more

Bells will be ringing this sad sad news
Oh what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again

Choirs will be singing "Silent Night"
Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas by New Years night

Friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
But this is Christmas yes Christmas my dear
The time of year to be with the ones you love
So won't you tell me you'll never more roam
Christmas and new Years will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow no grief and pain
And I'll be happy, happy once again
Oh there'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain
And I'll be happy, Christmas once again

You can't run away forever
But there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start.
You want to shut out the night

You want to shut down the sun

you want to shut away the pieces of a broken heart.

Think of how we'd lay down together

We'd be listening to the radio so loud and so strong.
Every golden nugget coming like a gift of the gods.
Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs

I treasure your love
I never want to lose it

You've been through the fires of hell
And I know you've got the ashes to prove it.
I treasure your love

I want to show you how to use it

You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt
And I know you've got the scars to prove it.

Remember everything that I told you
And I'm telling you again that it's true.
When you're alone and afraid and you're completely amazed
To find there's nothing anybody can do

Keep on believing
And you'll discover baby:

There's always something magic

There's always something new

And when you really
really need it the most
That's when rock and roll dreams come through.
The beat is yours forever
the beat is always new

And when you really
really need it the most
That's when rock and roll dreams come through . . . for you.

I treasure you love
. . .

Remember everything that I told you
And I'm telling you again that it's true.
You're never alone cause you can put on the phones
And let the drummer tell your heart what to do.
Keep on believing and you'll discover baby:

There's always something magic
. . .

The beat is yours forever -
That's when rock and roll dreams come through.
The beat is yours forever - . . .

Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you

Can't you see
I love you
Please don't break my heart in two
That's not hard to do
'Cause I don't have a wooden heart
And if you say goodbye
Then I know that I would cry
Maybe I would die
'Cause I don't have a wooden heart
There's no strings upon this love of mine
It was always you from the start
Treat me nice
Treat me good
Treat me like you really should
'Cause I'm not made of wood
And I don't have a wooden heart

Muss i denn, muss i denn
Zum Stadtele hinaus
Stadtele hinaus
Und du, mein schat, bleibst hier?

There's no strings upon this love of mine
It was always you from the start
Sei mir gut
Sei mir gut
Sei mir wie du wirklich sollst
Wie du wirklich sollst
'Cause I don't have a wooden heart

Uhh
Hoo
Yeah

Once again we sit in silence
After all is said and done
Only emptiness inside us
Baby, look what we’ve become (oh)
We can make a million promises
But we still won’t change
It isn’t right to stay together
When you only bring each other pain

I don’t wanna cry
Don’t wanna cry
Nothing in the world
Could take us back
To where we used to be
Though I’ve give you my heart and soul
(given you my heart and soul)
I must find a way of letting go
’cause baby
I don’t wanna cry

I don’t wanna cry
Heay

Too far apart to bridge the distance
But something keeps us hanging on and on
Pretending not to know the difference
Denying what we had is gone
Every moment we’re together
It’s just breaking me down
I know we swore it was forever
But it hurts too much to stay around

I don’t wanna cry
Don’t wanna cry
Nothing in the world
Could take us back
To where we used to be
Though I’ve give you my heart and soul
(given you my heart and soul)
I must find a way of letting go
’cause baby
I don’t wanna cry

Uuh
I don’t wanna cry
No

All the magic’s gone
There’s just a shadow of a memory
Something just went wrong
We can’t go on make-believing

I don’t wanna cry
Don’t wanna cry
Nothing in the world
Could take us back
To where we used to be
Though I’ve give you my heart and soul
(given you my heart and soul)
I must find a way of letting go
’cause baby
I don’t wanna cry

Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your first sweet kiss thrilled me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

If you wanted that star that shines so brightly
To match the stardust in your eye
Darling, I would chase that bright star nightly
And try to steal it from the sky
And I would bring

Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your first sweet kiss thrilled me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

If you wanted a dream to keep you smilin'
I'd tell the sandman you were blue
And I'd ask him to keep that sand a-pilin'
Until your dreams had all come true
And I would bring

Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your first sweet kiss thrilled me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

And if you wanted a love to last forever
Darlin' I would send my love your way
And my love'd not only last forever
But forever and a day
And I would bring

Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your first sweet kiss thrilled me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

It's Christmas
Baby, please come home

(Yeah!)

The snow's coming down
I'm watching it fall
Watching the people around
Baby please come home

The churchbells in town
Are ringing a song
What a happy sound
Baby please come home

Theyr'e singing deck the halls
But it's not like Christmas at all
Caus I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

Pretty lights on the tree
I'm watching 'em shine
You should be here with me
Baby please come home

Baby please come home
Baby please come home

They're singing deck the halls
But it's not like Christmas at all
Caus I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

If there was a way
I'd hold back these tears
But it's Christmas day
Baby please come home
Ohh...

Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Ohh...
Baby please come home
Baby please come home

Steve Vai

1996

And though the sun goes down
The fever you adore is burning in your breast
Helpless in the fall from paradise into your bed
For here it is sown, in time we forget what is man

Don't let your body cry
This game of love is war
And I'm already dead

You say- Hold me down and wash away
This hunger from my flesh
And make me reborn in sweet innocence
Come on and make me live

It's voodoo that you possess
(Your heaven is danger)
Deny your dark side, I know
All about your secret life
Oh Eve

And so the moon is high
I see that love is blind
To the fire in your eyes

As our garden fiercely burns
We have no place to hide
Naked and cold running from the wind
Now wrapped in skin

It's voodoo that you possess
(Your heaven is danger)
Deny your dark side, I know
All about your secret life

It's voodoo that you possess
(Your heaven is danger)
Behind those lucid eyes
The shadow of the serpent lies
Oh Eve
All about Eve

And though the sun goes down
The mortals never know

Some people like to rock
Some people like to roll
But movin' and a groovin'
Gonna satisfy my soul
Let's have a party (Let's have a party)
Oooh, let's have a party (Let's have a party)
Send 'im to the store
An' let's buy some more
An' let's have a party tonight

I've never kissed a bear
I've never kissed a goon
But I can shake a chicken
In the middle of the room
Let's have a party (Let's have a party)
Oooh, let's have a party (Let's have a party)
Send 'im to the store
An' let's buy some more
An' let's have a party tonight

Now Honky Tonky Joe
Is knockin' at the door
Bring him in and fill him up
And sit him on the floor
Let's have a party (Let's have a party)
Oooh, let's have a party (Let's have a party)
Send 'im to the store
An' let's buy some more
An' let's have a party tonight

The meat is on the stove
The bread is gettin' hot
Everybody come and taste
The possum Poppa shot
Let's have a party (Let's have a party)
Let's have a party (Let's have a party)
Send `im to the store
An' let's buy some more
An' let's have a party tonight
We're really gonna have a party tonight

Driven up and down in circles
Skidding down a road of black ice
Staring in and out storm windows
Driven to a fool's paradise

But it's my turn to drive
But it's my turn to drive

Driven to the margin of error
Driven to the edge of control
Driven to the margin of terror
Driven to the edge of a deep, dark hole

Driven day and night in circles
Spinning like a whirlwind of leaves
Stealing in and out back alleys
Driven to another den of thieves

But it's my turn to drive
But it's my turn to drive

Driven to the margin of error
Driven to the edge of control
Driven to the margin of terror
Driven to the edge of a deep, dark hole

Driven in - driven to the edge
Driven out - on the thin end of the wedge
Driven off - by things I've never seen
Driven on - by the road to somewhere I've never been

Drivin on - driven in
On the thin end of the wedge
Driven out - driven to the edge

It's my turn to drive
But it's my turn to drive

The road unwinds toward me
What was there is gone
The road unwinds before me
And I go riding on

It's my turn to drive
But it's my turn to drive

Driven to the margin of error
Driven to the edge of control
Driven to the margin of terror
Driven to the edge of a deep, dark hole
Driven to the edge of a deep, dark hole

This one's for the lonely
The ones that seek and find
Only to be let down
Time after time

This one's for the torn down
The experts at the fall
Common friends get up now
You're not alone at all

And this part was for her
This part was for her
This part was for her
Does she remember?

It comes and goes in waves, i....

This one's for the faithless
The ones that are surprised
They are only where they are now
Regardless of their fight

This one's for believing
If only for it's sake
Common friends get up now
Love is to be made

And this part was for her
This part was for her
This part was for her
Does she remember?

It comes and goes in waves,
I am only let to wonder why
It comes and goes in waves
I am only let to wonder why
Why I try

This is for the ones who stand
For the ones who try again
For the ones who need a hand
For the ones who think they can

It comes and goes in waves,
I am only let to wonder why
It comes and goes in waves
I am only let to wonder why
Why I try

I see trees of green........ red roses too
I see em bloom..... for me and for you
And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue..... clouds of white
Bright blessed days....dark sacred nights
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world.

The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky
Are also on the faces.....of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin.. how do you do
They're really sayin......I love you.

I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
They'll learn much more.....than I'll never know
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world

(instrumental break)

The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky
Are there on the faces.....of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin.. how do you do
They're really sayin...*spoken*(I ....love....you).

I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
*spoken*(you know their gonna learn
A whole lot more than Ill never know)
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself .......what a wonderful world
