Rod Stewart - Bring It On Home To Me / You Send Me Lyrics

Rod Stewart - Bring It On Home To Me / You Send Me Video

Well if you ever want to come home to me
I'll still be here waiting
 
If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
Baby bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me
 
I know I laughed when you left
But now I know that I only hurt myself
Honey bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me
Let me tell you all about it
 
I'll give you tulips and money too
That ain't all, that ain't all I'd do for you
If you'll bring it to me, bring you're sweet loving
Bring it on home to me
 
You know I'll always be your slave
Until I'm buried, buried in my grave
Oh honey bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me
 
I tried to treat you right
But you stayed out, stayed out late at night
But I forgive you
Bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me
 
Just remember this one thing darlin' that
You, you, you send me, you know this one
You, you know darlin' you send me
And I know that you, you thrill me
Honest you do, honest you do, honest you do
And I wanna tell you one thing that
 
And I know this one thing that
You send me honest you do, honest you do
Honest you do, let me tell you
When I get home you're always there for me
And I know that you're gonna send me
Honest you do, honest you do, honest you do
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Well you thrill me
Darlin' you're always gonna send me

Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells A Story Lyrics

Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells A Story Video

Spent some time feelin' inferior
Standing in front of my mirror
Combed my hair in a thousand ways
But I came out looking just the same
 
Daddy said, Son, you better see the world
I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave
But remember one thing don't lose your head
To a woman that'll spend your bread
So I got out
 
Paris was a place you could hide away
If you felt you didn't fit in
French police wouldn't give me no peace
They claimed I was a nasty person
Down along the Left Bank minding my own
Was knocked down by a human stampede
Got arrested for inciting a peacful riot
When all I wanted was a cup of tea
I was accused
I moved on
 
Down in Rome I wasn't getting enough
Of the things that keeps a young man alive
My body stunk but I kept my funk
At a time when I was right out of luck
Getting desperate indeed I was
Looking like a tourist attraction
Oh my dear I better get out of here
 
'for the Vatican don't give no sanction
I wasn't ready for that, no no
 
I moved right out east yeah!
On the Peking ferry I was feeling merry
Sailing on my way back here
I fell in love with a slit eyed lady
By the light of an eastern moon
Shangai Lil never used the pill
She claimed that it just ain't natural
She took me up on deck and bit my neck
Oh people I was glad I found her
Oh yeah I was glad I found her
 
I firmly believe that I didn't need anyone but me
I sincerely thought I was so complete
Look how wrong you can be
 
The women I've known I wouldn't let tie my shoe
They wouldn't give you the time of day
But the slit eyed lady knocked me off my feet
God I was glad I found her
And if they had the words I could tell to you
To help you on the way down the road
I couldn't quote you no Dickens, Shelley or Keats
'Cause it's all been said before
Make the best out of the bad just laugh it off
You didn't have to come here anyway
So remember, every picture tells a story don't it

Rod Stewart - Sometimes When We Touch Lyrics

Rod Stewart - Sometimes When We Touch Video

You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do
I'm only just beginning
To see the real you
 
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you 'til I die
'Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you 'til the fear in me subsides
 
Romance and all its strategies
Leaves me battling with my pride
But for all the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize-fighter
Still trapped within my youth
 
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you 'til I die
'Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you 'til the fear in me subsides
 
At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly
 
At times I understand you
And I know how hard you try
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by
At times I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again
 
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you 'til I die
'Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you 'til the fear in me subsides, subsides

Rod Stewart - Seems Like A Long Time Lyrics

Rod Stewart - Seems Like A Long Time Video

Nighttime is only the other side of daytime
But if you've ever waited for the sun
You know what it's like to wish daytime would come
And don't it seem like a long time
Seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
 
Hard times are only the other side of good times
But if you ever wished hard times were gone
You know what it's like to wish good times would come
And don't it seem like a long time
Seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
 
Help me, seems like a long time
Seems like a long time, seems like a long, long time
 
And don't it seem like a long time
Seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
And don't it seem like a long time
Seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
And don't it seems like a long time
Seems like a long time, seems like a long, long time
 
You know it makes me sad
Seems like a long time, seems like a long time
Seems like a long, long time
 
War time is only the other side of peace time
But if you've ever seen how wars are won
You know what it's like to wish peace time would come
And don't it seem like a long time
Seem like a long time, seems like a long, long time

Rod Stewart - The Way You Look Tonight Lyrics

Rod Stewart - The Way You Look Tonight Video

Someday, when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow
Just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight.
 
You're so lovely
With your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me
But to love you
And the way you look tonight.
 
With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh
That wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart.
 
Yes, you're lovely,
Never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight.
 
With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh
That wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart.
 
Yes,you're lovely,
Never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look to-night
Just the way you look to-night, darling!
Just the way you look to-night.

Rod Stewart - Rhythm Of My Heart Lyrics

Rod Stewart - Rhythm Of My Heart Video

Across the street the river runs
Down in the gutter life is slipping away
Let me still exist in another place
Running under cover
Of a helicopter blade
 
Flames are getting higher
In effigy
Burning down the bridges of my memory
Love may still alive
Somewhere, some way
Where they're downing only deer
A hundred steel towns away
 
Oh, the rhythm of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words I love you
Rolling off my tongue
No, never will I roam
For I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing
 
Photographs and kerosene
Light up my darkness
Light it up!
Light it up!
I can still feel the touch
Of your thin blue jeans
Running down the alley
I've got my eyes all over you, baby
Oh, baby
 
Oh, the rhythm of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words I love you
Rolling off my tongue
No, never will I roam
For I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing
 
Oh, yeah
 
Oh, I've got lightning in my veins
Shifting like the handle
Of a slot machine
Love may still exist
In another place
I'm just yanking back the handle
No expression on my face
 
Oh, the rhythm of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words I love you
Rolling off my tongue
No, never will I roam
For I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing
 
Oh, the rhythm of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words I love you
Rolling off my tongue
No, never will I roam
For I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing
 
The rhythm of my heart
Is beating like a drum
With the words I love you rolling off my tongue
No, never will I roam
For I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing

Rod Stewart - You Are Everything Lyrics

Rod Stewart - You Are Everything Video

Today I saw somebody who looked just like you
She walked like you do I thought it was you
As she turned the corner I called out your name
I felt so ashamed but it wasn't you, wasn't you
 
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
Oh you are everything and everything is you
 
How can I forget when each face that I see
Brings back memories of being with you
I just can't go on livin' life as I do
Comparing each girl to you
Knowing they just won't do, they're not you
 
You are everything
Everything is you
You're everything to me girl
I miss you baby
Everything is you
 
You are everything
Every little thing
You're all I've got
Girl, you're everything to me
You are everything and everything is you
Everything to me

Rod Stewart - For The First Time Lyrics

Rod Stewart - For The First Time Video

Are those your eyes?
Is that your smile?
I been looking at you for ever,
Yet I never saw you before.
Are these your hands? Holding mine?
Now I wonder how I could have been so blind.
And for the first time, I am looking in your eyes.
For the first time, I'm seeing who you are.
I can't believe how much I see,
When you're looking back at me.
Now I understand what love is,
Love is...
For the first time...
 
Can this be real?
Can this be true?
Am I the person I was this morning?
And are you the same you?
Its all so strange.
How can it be?
All along this love was right in front of me!
And for the first time, I am looking in your eyes.
 
For the first time, I am seeing who you are.
I can't believe how much I see,
When you're looking back at me.
Now I understand what love is...
Love is...
For the first time.
 
Such a long time ago,
I had given up on finding this emotion,
Ever again.
But you're here with me now,
Yes I found you somehow,
And I've never been so sure.
For the first time, I am looking in your eyes,
For the first time, I'm seeing who you are,
Can't believe how much I see,
When you're looking back at me.
Now I understand what love is...
Love is...
For the first time.
For the first time.

Rod Stewart - Time After Time Lyrics

Rod Stewart - Time After Time Video

What good are words I say to you?
They can't convey to you what's in my heart
If you could hear instead
The things I've left unsaid
 
Time after time
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
 
So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through
 
I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new
 
And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
 
I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new
 
And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
Lucky to be loving you

Rod Stewart - Leave Virginia Alone Lyrics

Rod Stewart - Leave Virginia Alone Video

Well I chased her down the alley
And over the hill to steal her will
She was as hot as Georgia asphalt
When the A crowd came to adore her brain
 
So leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you and me
She's not like you and me
 
You should've seen her back in the city
Poetry and jewels, broke all the rules
She was as high as a Georgia pine tree
Makeup and pills, overdue bills
 
So leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you and me
She's not like you and me
 
Some sunny day when the hands of time
Have had their way
You'll understand why it was so hard to run away
 
She's a loser she's a forgiver
But she still finds good where no one could
You ought to want her more than money
Cadillacs and rust diamonds and dust
 
So leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you and me
She's not like you and me
 
So leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you and me
She's not like you and me

Rod Stewart - Forever Young Lyrics

Rod Stewart - Forever Young Video

May the good Lord be with you down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud, dignified, and true
And do unto others as you'd have done to you
 
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you'll always stay
Forever young, forever young
 
May good fortune be with you, may your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven with a prince or a vagabond
 
And may you never love in vain
And in my heart you will remain
Forever young, forever young
 
Forever young
Forever young
 
And when you finally fly away, I'll be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime, no one can ever tell
 
But whatever road you choose
I'm right behind you
Win or lose
Forever young, forever young, forever young
 
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young

Rod Stewart - Young Turks Lyrics

Rod Stewart - Young Turks Video

Billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket and a head full of dreams
He said somehow, someway, it's gotta get better than this
Patty packed her bags, left a note for her mama, she was just 17
There were tears in her eyes when she kissed her little sister goodbye
 
They held each other tight as they drove on through the night, they were so excited
We got but one shot at life, let's take it while we're still not afraid
Because life is so brief, and time is a thief when you're undecided
And like a fistful of sand, it can slip right through your hands
 
Young hearts be free tonight
Time is on your side
Don't let 'em put you down
Don't let 'em push you around
Don't let 'em ever change your point of view
 
Paradise was closed, so they headed for the coast in a blissful manner
They took a two-room apartment that was jumping every night of the week
Happiness was found in each other's arms, as expected, yeah
Billy pierced his ears, drove a pickup like a lunatic, ooh
 
Young hearts be free tonight
Time is on your side
Don't let 'em put you down
Don't let 'em push you around
Don't let 'em ever change your point of view
 
Come on, man
 
Whoo
 
Young hearts be free tonight
Time is on, on your side
 
Billy wrote a letter back home to Patty's parents, trying to explain
He said we're both real sorry that it had to turn out this way
But there ain't no point in talking when there's nobody listening, so we just ran away
Patty gave birth to a 10-pound baby boy, yeah
 
Young hearts be free tonight
Time is on your side
Young hearts be free tonight
Time is on your side
Young hearts be free tonight
Time is on your side
Young hearts gotta learn
Time is on, yeah, time is on your side
Time, time, time, time is on your side, is on your side, is on your side
Young hearts be free tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
