Lyrics \u2013 Can\u00b4t Help It<\/h2>\n

TONIGHT TONIGHT<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Allan S\u00f8rensen<\/em><\/p>\n

Hello baby now I\u00b4am back in town
\nWon\u00b4t you meet me tonight
\nI can not get you out of my head
\nI hope you\u00b4ll stay here all night<\/p>\n

I still remember first time we met
\nYou took me by surprise
\nBeen looking forward to see you again
\nWe\u2019re gonna take the price<\/p>\n

Tonight tonight tonight it\u2019s gonna be alright
\nTonight tonight tonight we\u2019re gonna make it right<\/p>\n

This is thi only place I know
\nHere in your hometown
\nI don\u2019t care where ever we go
\nAs long as I\u2019m together with you yeah with you<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SUMMER OF \u201968<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Allan S\u00f8rensen \u2013 Torben Bille<\/em><\/p>\n

I saw a lady on her way
\nshe\u2019s bound for yesterday
\nasked if that\u2019s the right way to go
\nshe said how come I should know
\nI\u2019m searching for the better times
\nto know the way and see the signs<\/p>\n

When every face was a light
\nand every sound a lasting laughter
\nwe danced the day into nights
\nand were the things we were after<\/p>\n

There were so many dreams to fullfill
\nthere were lots of songs to be sung
\nin the lazy summer of \u201968
\nwhen all we built on was made<\/p>\n

And when birds tuned with faces
\nand parties lasting till dawn come
\nwe filled out all the spaces
\nbetween what\u2019s real and what is wrong<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u00b4VE BEEN WORKING<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Allan S\u00f8rensen<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u00b4ve been working, I\u00b4ve been working for so long
\nI\u00b4ve been fighting, I\u00b4ve been fighting for so long<\/p>\n

Now I\u00b4m retired, have changed my life
\nspending most time with my wife<\/p>\n

Now it\u00b4s time to slow down
\nspend my time away from the town
\nplaying golf and riding my bike,
\ntake a nap and go for a hike<\/p>\n

I still write a song or two
\nand do all the things to do
\nwalk the dog along the sea
\nenjoy being happy and free<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MAIN STREET GIRL<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Allan S\u00f8rensen \u2013 Torben Bille<\/em><\/p>\n

You\u00b4ll never look the same
\nand I don\u00b4t know your name
\nthou` I love you every day
\nyou\u00b4re not here to stay<\/p>\n

You\u00b4re the winds across the street
\nin harmony with busy feet
\nyou\u00b4re a many hundred faces
\nseen in freaky places<\/p>\n

Oh, you\u00b4re water, ice and flame
\nsuperlove and little miss manyname
\nand your feet never stop their run
\nyour smile is turning rain into sun<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PACK IT IN SOMEHOW<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Allan S\u00f8rensen \u2013 Torben Bille<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a rainy day today
\nemty streets of mud and clay
\non the frozen silverscreen
\nyou can hear the deaf sirenes<\/p>\n

In the deserts of this land
\na wind to cold to hold in hand
\non the hills lonely bare trees
\ntoo tall for any eye to seize<\/p>\n

He\u2019ll make it up for now
\npack it in somehow
\npick up a drink
\nno matter what the people think
\nthrow his cards
\nleave the chair
\nwalk away to anywhere
\n\u2013 find new starts \u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

GOODBYE<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Allan S\u00f8rensen \u2013 Torben Bille<\/em><\/p>\n

You do not know it yet
\nbut I intend to leave you
\njust in the middle
\nof the only word I know
\nand it is love<\/p>\n

I pray you now just to avoid
\nany reasons or goodbye scenes
\nand for god\u2019s sake
\nno tears or sighs
\nwhen we depart<\/p>\n

I could use so many terms
\nto describe this step of mine
\nbut that\u2019s no use
\nI\u00b4m just leaving you
\nwhile the wild geese
\nmakes an eternal haiku here
\nagainst the falling sun
\nand our life is done
\ntry to play it cool<\/p>\n

When you are sitting reading this
\nyou may say that all your pride
\ngoes before a call
\nbut that is not the point at all<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WHENEVER YOU\u2019RE AROUND<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Allan S\u00f8rensen \u2013 Torben Bille<\/em><\/p>\n

Eyelids hold back every tear
\nand many things don\u2019t look so queer
\nwhenever you\u2019re around, my dear
\nproblems seem to disappear<\/p>\n

You give me sunshine
\nto help me make it thru\u2019 the day
\neven when the dawn
\nsay hallo to evening grey<\/p>\n

The shadows in my living tomb
\npredicting sorrow days of doom
\ndon\u2019t seem that long and grey of gloom
\nwhenever you\u2019re around my room<\/p>\n

You bring me sweet joy
\nto help me stand the saddest hours
\nWhenever you\u2019re around
\nthe ill weeds turn into flowers<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STILL TIME TO SMILE<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Allan S\u00f8rensen \u2013 Torben Bille<\/em><\/p>\n

I didn\u00b4t see your shadow leave the room
\nas you walked out to meet the rain
\nI didn\u00b4t hear the mirror break your face
\nwhen you walked out to kiss the pain<\/p>\n

I could have told you straight away
\nthat years are growing fast
\nand time is never gonna last<\/p>\n

But you must not forget my love
\nthat babies are still born
\nand spring is still the time for us to smile
\n\u2026.even right now<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BEHIND MY PUZZLED BRAIN
\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Allan S\u00f8rensen \u2013 Torben Bille<\/em><\/p>\n

I see you paint the sky
\nadorn the past with stars
\nyou turn the truth to lie
\nevery kiss is like a scar<\/p>\n

Here in death of winter
\nwhen fall has said goodbye
\nI stand clear and restless
\nwatching snowflakes leave the sky<\/p>\n

I need not count the hours
\nand behind my puzzled brain
\nI can feel the hidden flowers
\nwaiting patiently for rain<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LIFE\u2019S A THRILLER
\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Allan S\u00f8rensen \u2013 Torben Bille<\/em><\/p>\n

I saw a monkey
\nsittin upright
\nunderneath a tree
\nand an elephant
\nwas laughing
\nat such a sight to see<\/p>\n

I heard a cuckoo
\nin the woodbines
\nright outside my place
\nand the sound I heard
\nkept reminding of
\nthe open space<\/p>\n

The cuckoo and the monkey
\ndancing hand in hand
\nto the sound from the trumpet
\nblown by the elephant<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the song they sang
\nas my heart did obey their command:
\nDon\u2019t live in dreams at night
\nlife is like a thriller
\ndon\u2019t sleep without light
\nor nature is your killer<\/p>\n

Then I sat me down
\nto testify
\nmy doings in the past
\nas sunset came
\nmine was the only
\nshadow to be cast<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WISE OWL<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Allan S\u00f8rensen \u2013 Torben Bille<\/em><\/p>\n

Suddenly a sun and the winds bore tidings new
\nthe rain had gone and the grey mist
\nturned to blue<\/p>\n

\u201eWise owl\u201c she said
\n\u201ehow come tidings are all new\u201c
\nthe owl shook his head
\nreplying just by waving wings
\nand pointing at the blue
\nWise owl \u2013 wise owl<\/p>\n

In midst of all a maiden fair came dancing by
\na tower dark and tall neath which an owl
\nin solitude did cry<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SPRING IS EVERYTHING<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Allan S\u00f8rensen \u2013 Torben Bille<\/em><\/p>\n

I want to be the lucky guy
\nto kiss you wet and dry you dry
\nI wish to be the only one
\nto wash your hair when rain won\u00b4t come<\/p>\n

Watch the new sun up above
\nlook forward to our summerlove
\nsee what futuretimes will bring
\nagree with me that spring is everything<\/p>\n

I will give laughter to your smile
\nand make all the strong words mild
\nI shall make you many a rhyme
\nand turn yesterday\u00b4s rain into wine<\/p>\n

Watch the new sun \u2026\u2026<\/p>\n

I will sing and play my flute
\nand change the wrong keys to cute
\ndo fly with me and my simple tune
\nwinter\u00b4s gone and spring will be here soon<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STANDING AT THE CROSSROAD<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Allan S\u00f8rensen \u2013 Peter Roln\u00e6s<\/em><\/p>\n

I was standing at the crossroad
\nwhen a guy right next to me
\nsaid: Friend, spare a moment
\nwon\u2019t you listen to me please?
\nyou know I lost my woman
\nand now I\u2019m bad as can be.<\/p>\n

Well, you know I loved that woman
\nloved to have her by my side
\nbad sickness done took her
\nno matter what they tried
\nwouldn\u2019t nothing help her
\nand she lay down and died.<\/p>\n

All the sorrow and all the pain
\nlet\u2019s hope tomorrow will shine again
\nfrom where you stand, you\u2019ll have to find
\nthe right way out to clear your mind<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want your pity
\ndon\u2019t you cry or shed no tear
\nit\u2019s just nite an\u2019 day I\u2019m wond\u2019rin
\nwhere do I go from here?
\nso I\u2019m stuck here on my own, yeh
\nwith no direction home!<\/p>\n

I was standing at the crossroad
\nheaven help me if I know
\nwhat to tell a total stranger
\n\u2018bout which way he should go.
\nfriend \u2013 I said \u2013 it\u2019s clear
\nyou\u2019re payin\u2019 mity heavy dues
\nI guess it\u2019s fair to say that \u2013
\nyou got them crossroad blues!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WHEN HE WAS A CHILD<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Allan S\u00f8rensen \u2013 Torben Bille<\/em><\/p>\n

When he wa a child
\nhis dreams were all wild
\ncreatures strange and red
\nfilling up his tiny head<\/p>\n

Now all questions have come thru\u00b4
\nhe sits and dreams of times he knew
\nwhen joy was joy and blue was blue<\/p>\n

Ooo ooh ooh
\nOoh ooh ooh<\/p>\n

His days were all blue
\nlollipops rainbous and glue
\nit was a time yes it was
\nwhen he lived in the land of because<\/p>\n

Now all questions have come thru\u00b4
\nhe sits and dreams of times he knew
\nwhen joy was joy and blue was blue<\/p>\n

Ooo ooh ooh
\nOoh ooh ooh<\/p>\n

We see it in his face
\nhis eyes with frozen tears
\nwhat do we really trace
\nis it loneliness he fears<\/p>\n

Now all questions have come thru\u00b4
\nhe sits and dreams of times he knew
\nwhen joy was joy and blue was blue<\/p>\n

Ooo ooh ooh
\nOoh ooh ooh
\nBlue was blue<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

HOMELESS<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Allan S\u00f8rensen \u2013 Torben Bille<\/em><\/p>\n

When the evening shades they do fall
\nand the cuckoos they do start to call
\nI fill the fountains of my mind
\nand sail away into the night<\/p>\n

Here I think and think again
\nof the time we used to spend
\nbut these days have all passed by
\nas the former ways of you and I<\/p>\n

Deep inside this dew
\nI see it all a new
\nthe woods so green, my mind so clean
\nthe words so wide but life so tight<\/p>\n

I do not live here
\nbut beyond some land of fear<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
