Tears and fears and feeling proud to say 'I love you' right out loud.
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels/ The dizzy dancing way you feel/ As every fairy tale comes real/ I've looked at love that way.
I want to have fun. I want to shine like the sun. I want to be the one that you want to see. I want to knit you a sweater. I want to write you a love letter. I want to make you feel better. I want to make you feel free.
Love is a very hard feeling to keep alive. It's a very fragile plant.
My first four albums covered the usual youth problems - looking for love in all the wrong places - while the next five are basically about being in your 30s.
I love you when I forget about me.
Tears and fears and feeling proud To say I love you, right out loud Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I've looked at life that way. But now old friends are acting strange They shake their heads, they say I've changed Something's lost, but something's gained In living every day I've looked at life from both sides now From win and lose, and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all
I've looked at life from both sides now...from win and lose, and still somehow it's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all.
All I really, really want our love to do is to bring out the best in me and in you too.
Love is touching souls.
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels The dizzy dancing way you feel As every fairy tale comes real I've looked at love that way.
And the seasons, they go round and round,/ And the painted ponies go up and down./ We're captive on the carousel of time.
Say, won't you stay; we'll put on the day and we'll talk in present tenses
People think it's being remodeled, ... I tell them, and they say, 'What? What do you mean they're tearing down the old high-school building?'
