    1. It's A Beautiful Day

      It's a beautiful day
      The sun is shining
      I feel good
      And no-one's gonna stop me now, oh yeah

      It's a beautiful day
      I fell good, I fell right
      And no-one, no-one's gonna stop me now
      Mama

      Sometimes I fell so sad, so sad, so bad
      But no-one's gonna stop me now, no-one
      It's hopeless - so hopeless to even try

    3. Let Me Live

      Why don't you take another little piece of my heart

    4. Mother Love

      I don't want to sleep with you
      I don't need the passion too
      I don't want a stormy affair
      To make me feel my life is heading somewhere
      All I want is the comfort and care
      Just to know that my woman gives me sweet -
      Mother love
      I've walked too long in this lonely lane
      I've had enough of this same old game
      I'm a man of the world and they say I'm strong
      But my heart is heavy and my hope is gone
      Out in the city, in the cold world outside
      I don't want pity, just safe place to hide
      Mama please, let me back inside
      I don't want to make no waves
      But you can give me all the love that I crave
      I can't take if you see me cry
      I long for peace before I die
      All I want to know that you're there
      You're gonna give me all your sweet -
      Mother love
      My body's aching, but I can't sleep
      My dreams are all the company I keep
      Got such a feeling as the sun goes down
      I'm coming home to my sweet -
      Mother love

    5. My Life Has Been Saved

      This is where we are today
      People going separate ways
      This is the way things are now
      In dissaray
      I read it in the papers
      There's death on every page
      Oh Lord, I thank the Lord above
      My life has been saved
      Here we go, telling lies
      Here we go
      We're right back where we started from
      People going separate ways
      This is the way things are now
      In dissaray
      I read it in the papers
      There's death on every page
      Oh Lord, I thank you from above
      My life has been saved

      My life, my life has been saved
      My life, my life, my life has been saved

    6. I Was Born To Love You

      I was born to love you
      With every single beat of my heart
      Yes, I was born to take care of you
      Every single day...
    chorus:

    I was born to love you
    With every single beat of my heart
    Yes, I was born to take care of you
    Every single day of my life
      You are the one for me
      I am the man for you
      You were made for me

    7. Heaven For Everyone

      This could be heaven
      This could be heaven
      This could be heaven for everyone

      In these days of cool reflection
      You come to me and everything seems alright
      In these days of cold affections
      You sit by me and everything's fine

      This could be heaven for everyone
      This world could be fed, this world could be fun
      This could be heaven for everyone
      This world could be free, this world could be one

      In this world of cool deception
      Just your smile can smoth my ride
      These troubled days of cruel rejection, hmm
      You come to me, soothe my troubled mind

      Yeah, this could be heaven for everyone
      This world could be fed, this world could be fun
      This should be love for everyone, yeah
      This world should be free, this world could be one
      We should bring love to our daughters and sons
      Love, love, love, this could be heaven for everyone

      You know that
      This could be heaven for everyone
      This could be heaven for everyone

      Listen - what people do to other souls
      They take their lives - destroy their goals
      Their basic pride and dignity
      Is stripped and torn and shown no pity
      When this should be heaven for everyone

    8. Too Much Love Will Kill You

      I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
      Too many bitter tears raining down on me
      I'm far away from home
      And I've been facing this alone for much too long
      I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
      About growing up and what a struggle it would be
      In my tangled state of mind
      I've been looking back to find where I went wrong

      Too much love will kill you
      If you can't make up your mind
      Torn between a lover and the love you leave behind
      You're headed for disaster 'cos you never read the signs
      Too much love will kill you - every time

      I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
      And it seems there's no way out this for me
      I used to bring you sunshine
      Now all I ever do is bring you down
      How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
      Can't you see that it's impossible to choose
      No there's making sense of it
      Every way I go I have to lose

      Too much love will kill you
      Just as sure as none at all.
      It'll drain the power that's in you
      Make you plead and scream and crawl
      And the pain will make you crazy
      You're the victim of your crime
      Too much love will kill you
      Every time

      Too much love will kill you
      It'll make your life a lie
      Yes, too much love will kill you
      And you won't understand why
      You'd give your life you'd sell your soul
      But here it comes again
      Too much love will kill you
      In the end...
      In the end.

    10. A Winter's Tale

      It's winter-fall
      Red skies are gleaming - oh -
      Sea gulls are flying over
      Swans are floatin' by
      Smoking chimney-tops
      Am I dreaming
      Am I dreaming ...?

      The nights draw in
      There's silky moon up in the sky - yeah -
      Children are fantisising
      Grown-ups are standin' by
      What a super feeling
      Am I dreaming
      Am I dreaming ...?
      woh-woh-woh-woh

      (draming)
      So quiet and peaceful
      Tranquil and blissful
      There's a kind of magic in the air
      What a truly magnificent view
      A breathtaking scene
      With the dreams of the world
      In the palm of your hand

      (draming)
      A cosy fireside chat
      A little this, a little that
      Sound of merry laughter skippin' by
      Gentle rain beatin' on my face
      What an extraordinary place!
      And the dream of the child
      Is the hope of the man

      It's all so beautiful
      Like a landscape painting in the sky - yeah -
      Mountains are zoomin' higher - mm -
      Little girls scream an' cry
      My world is spinnin' and spinnin' and spinnin'
      It's unbelievable
      Sends me reeling
      Am I dreaming ...
      Am I dreaming ...?
      Oooh - it' a bliss.

    11. It's A Beautiful Day (reprise)

      It's a beautiful day
      The sun is shining
      I feel good
      And no-one's gonna stop me now, oh yeah

      It's a beautiful day
      I fell good, I fell right
      And no-one, no-one's gonna stop me now
      Mama

      Sometimes I fell so sad, so sad, so bad
      But no-one's gonna stop me now, no-one
      It's hopeless - so hopeless to even try

    12. Yeah

    13.
