(JUST LIKE) STARTING OVER
By John Lennon

Our life together is so precious together,
We have grown, we have grown.
Although our love is still special,
Let's take a chance and fly away
Somewhere alone.

It's been too long since we took the time,
No one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly.
But when I see you, darling,
It's like we both are falling in love again,
It'll be just like starting over (over),
Starting over (over).

Ev'ry day we used to make it, love,
Why can't we be making love nice and easy?
It's time to spread our wings and fly,
Don't let another day go by, my love,
It'll be just like starting over (over),
Starting over (over and over and oh).

Why don't we take off alone?
Take a trip somewhere far, far away.
We'll be together all alone again,
Like we used to in the early days.
Well, well, darling.

Look out!

(Over and over and over)
Starting over (over and over and over).

KISS KISS KISS
By Yoko Ono

Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me, love,
Just one kiss, kiss will do.
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me, love,
Just one kiss, kiss will do.

Why death?
Why life?
Warm hearts?
Cold darts?

Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me, love,
I'm bleeding inside.

It's a long, long story to tell
And I can only show you my hell.

Touch, touch, touch, touch me, love,
Just one touch, touch will do.
Touch, touch, touch, touch me, love,
Just one touch, touch will do.

Why me?
Why you?
Broken mirror?
White terror?

Touch, touch, touch, touch me, love,
I'm shaking inside.

It's that faint, faint sound of the childhood bell
Ringing in my soul.

Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me, love,
Just one kiss, kiss will do.

CLEANUP TIME
By John Lennon

"Bubble, bubble"

Moonlight on the water,
Sunlight on my face.
You and me together,
We are in our place.
The gods are in the heavens,
Angels treat us well.
Oracle's spoken
We cast the perfect spell.

The queen is in the counting house,
Counting out the money.
The king is in the kitchen
Making bread and honey.
No friends and yet no enemies,
Absolutely free.
No rats aboard the magic ship
Of perfect harmony.

Now it begins,
Let it begin.

Ah
Cleanup time (cleanup, cleanup),
Yeah, cleanup time,
Cleanup time (cleanup, cleanup).

Well, well, well!

Mm, however far we travel,
Wherever we may roam,
The center of the circle
Will always be our home, yeh, yeh.

GIVE ME SOMETHING
By Yoko Ono

Oh-oh!

The food is cold,
Your eyes are cold,
The window's cold,
The bed's cold.

Give me something that's not
Cold, come on, come on, come on!
Give me something that's not
Cold, come on, come on, come on!
Give me something that's not
Cold, come on, come on, come on!
Give me ah!

The chair's hard,
Your voice is hard,
The money's hard,
The living's hard.

Give me something that's not
Hard, come on, come on, come on!
Give me something that's not
Hard, come on, come on, come on!
Give me something that's not
Hard, come on, come on, come on!
Give me ah!

I'll give you my heartbeat
And a bit of tear and flesh.
It's not very much but while it's there,
You can have it,
You can have it.

I'M LOSING YOU
By John Lennon

Ah!

Here in some stranger's room,
Late in the afternoon,
What am I doing here at all?
Ain't no doubt about it,
I'm losing you,
I'm losing you.

Somehow the wires have crossed,
Communication's lost,
Can't even get you on the telephone-ah!
Just got to shout about it,
I'm losing you,
I'm losing you.

Well, here in the valley of indecision,
I don't know what to do,
I feel you slipping away,
I feel you slipping away.

I'm losing you, I'm losing you.

Well, now, you say you're not getting enough,
But I remind you of all that bad, bad, bad stuff,
So what the hell am I supposed to do?
Just put a band-aid on it?
And stop the bleeding now,
Stop the bleeding now.

Well! Hey!

Well, well, well, I know I hurt you then,
But hell, that was way back when,
Well, do you still have to carry that cross?
Rock it!
Don't wanna hear about it.
I'm losing you,
I'm losing you.

Don't wanna lose you now!

Well!

Well, long, long, long, gone,
Long, long.

I'M MOVING ON
By Yoko Ono

Save your sweet talk
For when you score,
Keep your Monday kisses
For your glass lady.
I want the truth and nothing more,
I'm moving on,
Moving on,
You're getting phony.

You didn't have to tell a white lie,
You know you scored me for life.
Don't stick your fingers in my pie,
You know, I'll see through your jive.

When you were angry
You had love in your eyes,
When you were sad
You had dream in your voice.
Now you're giving me your window smile,
I'm moving on,
Moving on,
It's getting phony.

Moving on!

BEAUTIFUL BOY (DARLING BOY)
By John Lennon

Close your eyes, have no fear,
The monster's gone, he's on the run,
And your daddy's here.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy.

Before you go to sleep, say a little prayer,
Ev'ry day in ev'ry way
It's getting better and better.

Out on the ocean, sailing away,
I can hardly wait to see you come of age,
But I guess we'll both just have to be patient.
'Cause it's a long way to go,
A hard row to hoe,
Yes, it's a long way to go but in the meantime.

Before you cross the street, take my hand,
Life is what happens to you
While you're busy making other plans.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy.
Darling, darling, darling, darling Sean.

Good night, Sean,
See you in the morning.

WATCHING THE WHEELS
By John Lennon

People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing.
Well, they give me all kinds of warning to save me from ruin.
When I say that I'm okay,
Well, they look at me kind of strange,
Surely you're not happy now,
You no longer play the game.

People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away.
Well, they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me.
When I tell them that I'm doing fine
Watching shadows on the wall,
Don't you miss the big time, boy,
You're no longer on the ball.

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll.
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go.

Ah, people asking questions, lost in confusion.
Well, I tell them there's no problem, only solutions.
Well, they shake their heads and they look at me
As if I've lost my mind.
I tell them there's no hurry,
I'm just sitting here doing time.

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll.
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go,
I just had to let it go,
I just had to let it go.

YES, I'M YOUR ANGEL
By Yoko Ono

Yes, I'm your angel,
I'll give you ev'rything
In my magic power.
So make a wish and I'll let it come true for you.
Tra-la-la-la-la.

You're my fairy,
You give me ev'rything
I ever wanted from life.
Have I made a wish and is that why I have you?
Tra-la-la-la-la.

We believe in pumpkins that turn into princesses
And frogs that turn into princes.
We believe in moons that smile to us
When we hurry home before the midnight strikes.
Tra-la-la-la-la.

Yes, I'm so pretty,
You're so dizzy
And we're so happy ev'ry day.
Let's make a wish and let it come true for us.
Tra-la-la-la-la.

I'm in your pocket,
You're in my locket
And we're so lucky in ev'ry way.
We make a wish and let it come true for us.
Tra-la-la-la-la.

We believe in houses built in the sky,
And love that lifts us high.
We believe in the sun that looks over our shoulders
And brings our shadows together.
Tra-la-la-la-la.

Yes, our hearts are one,
Our bodies, too
And it's so good, mm, ev'rytime.
We make a wish and let it come true for you, too.
Tra-la-la-la-la.

Happy birthday, my love,
I'm your angel,
I'll give you ev'rything in my magic power.
So make a wish and I'll let it come true for you.
Tra-la-la-la-la-la.

WOMAN
By John Lennon

"For the other half in the sky"

Woman, I can hardly express
My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness,
After all, I'm forever in your debt.
And woman, I will try to express
My inner feelings and thankfulness
For showing me the meaning of success.

Ooh well, well,
Ooh well, well.
Woman, I know you understand
The little child inside the man.
Please remember, my life is in your hand.
And woman, hold me close to your heart,
However distant don't keep us apart.
After all, it is written in the stars.

Woman, please let me explain,
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain.
So let me tell you again and again and again.

I love you, yeah, yeah, now and forever,
I love you, yeah, yeah, now and forever,
I love you, yeah, yeah, now and forever,
I love you, yeah, yeah.

BEAUTIFUL BOYS
By Yoko Ono

You're a beautiful boy,
With all your little toys,
Your eyes have seen the world
Though you're only four years old.
And your tears are streaming
Even when you're smiling,
Please, never be afraid to cry.

You're a beautiful boy,
With all your little ploys,
Your mind has changed the world.
And you're now forty years old,
You got all you can carry
And still feel somehow empty.
Don't ever be afraid to fly.

All you beautiful boys,
Creating multiple plays.
You like to fence in your world
And settle down when you're old.
You can run from pole to pole
And never scratch your soul.
Don't be afraid to go to hell and back,
Don't be afraid to go to hell and back,
Don't be afraid to be afraid.

DEAR YOKO
By John Lennon

Oh well-a-hell-a-hell,
Even after all these years,
I miss you when you're not here,
I wish you were here, my dear Yoko.

Even if it's just a day,
I miss you when you're away,
I wish you were here today, dear Yoko.

Even if it's just one night,
I miss you and it don't feel right,
I wish you were here tonight, dear Yoko.

Even if it's just one hour,
I wilt just like a fading flower,
Ain't nothing in the world like our love, dear Yoko.
Oh, oh, Yoko!
I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever gonna let you go.
Oh, oh, Yoko!
I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever gonna let you go (no, sir!)

Even when I'm miles at sea,
And nowhere is the place to be,
Your spirit's watching over me, dear Yoko.

Even when I watch TV,
There's a hole where you're supposed to be,
There's nobody lying next to me, dear Yoko.

Even after all this time,
I miss you like the sun don't shine.
Without you i'm a one track mind, dear Yoko.

After all is really said and done,
The two of us are really one,
The goddess really smiled upon our love, dear Yoko.

EVERY MAN HAS A WOMAN WHO LOVES HIM
By Yoko Ono

Ev'ry man has a woman who loves him,
In rain or shine or life or death.

If he finds her in this life time,
He will know when he presses his ear to her breast.

Why do I roam when I know you're the one?
Why do I laugh when I feel like crying?

Ev'ry woman has a man who loves her,
Rise or fall of her life and in death.

If she finds him in this life time,
She will know when she looks into his eyes.

Why do I roam when I know you're the one?
Why do I run when I feel like holding you?

Ev'ry man has a woman who loves him,
If he finds her in this life time he will know.

HARD TIMES ARE OVER
By Yoko Ono

It's been very hard,
But it's getting easier now.
Hard times are over, over for awhile.

The leaves are shining in the sun,
And I'm smiling inside.
You and I watching each other on a street corner,
Cars and buses and planes and people go by.
But we don't care, we wanna know,
Wanna know in each other's eyes
That hard times are over, over for some time (yeh!)

Hard times are over,
Hard times are over,
Hard times are over, over for awhile.

It's been very rough,
But it's getting easier now.
Hard times are over, over for awhile.

The streams are twinkling in the sun
And I'm smiling inside.
You and I walking together 'round the street corner.
