Susan Boyle Album

Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses couldn't drag me away

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears have been cried
Let's do some living before we die

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses couldn't drag me away

Wild horses we will ride them someday
Wild horses, wild horses

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high and life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving

Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they turn your hope apart
As they turn your dreams to shame

And still I dream he’d come to me
That we would live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from the hell I’m living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed

Why don't you, why don't you
Why don't you cry me a river?

Now you say that you love me
After being so untrue

I want you to cry
(Cry me a river)
Want you to cry
(Cry me a river)
All over me
(Cry me a river)
I want you to cry
(Cry me a river)

Oh cry
(Cry me a river)
Yeah, cry
(Cry me a river)
Yeah, I cried a river over you

Now you say that you're sorry
Oh, for being so unkind

Why don't you cry
(Cry me a river)
Cry for me
(Cry me a river)
Oh!
(Cry me a river)
Over me
(Cry me a river)

Want you to cry
(Cry me a river)
Right on me, yeah
(Cry me a river)
Oh, I cried a river over you

You drove me nearly drove me out of my head
Never shed a tear
Remember, I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
You were through with me

(Cry me a river)
Come on love
(Cry me a river)
Want you to cry
(Cry me a river)
Cry me a river
(Cry me a river)

Oh cry
(Cry me a river)
Cry me a river
(Cry me a river)
Oh, I cried a river over you

You drove me nearly drove me out of my head
Ooh, never shed a tear
Remember, I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
You were through with me

(Cry me a river)
Yes, cry
(Cry me a river)
I want you to cry
(Cry me a river)
Cry me a river
(Cry me a river)

Ah!
(Cry me a river)
Cry me
(Cry me a river)
Oh, I cried a river over you

Yeah, I cried a river
(I cried a river over you)
(I cried a river over you)
Over you
(I cried a river over you)
Over you
(I cried a river over you)

I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you

I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I, cried a river, over you
One two three four

Cry me a river, cry me a river
Cry me a river, cry me a river
Cry me a river, cry me a river
I, cried a river, over you

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

You think that I can't live
Without your love, you'll see
You think I can't go on another day

You think I have nothing
Without you by my side
You'll see, somehow, someway

You think that I can't
Never laugh again, you'll see
You think that you've
Destroyed my faith in love

You think after all you've done
I'll never find my way back home
You'll see, somehow, someday

All by myself
I don't need anyone at all
I know I'll survive
I know I'll stay alive

All on my own
I don't need anyone this time
It will be mine
No one can take it from me
You'll see

You think that you are strong
But you are weak, you'll see
It takes more strength to cry
Admit defeat

I have truth on my side
You only have deceit
You'll see, somehow, someday

All by myself
I don't need anyone at all
I know I'll survive
I know I'll stay alive

I'll stand on my own
I won't need anyone this time
It will be mine
No one can take it from me
You'll see

You'll see
You'll see
You'll see

Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings of the bluebird as she sings
The six o'clock alarm would never ring
But it rings and I rise wipe the sleep out of my eyes
The shavin' razor's cold, and it stings

Cheer up, sleepy Jean, oh what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?

You once thought of me as a white knight on his steed
Now you know how happy I can be
Oh, and our good times start and end without dollar one to spend
But how much baby do we really need?

Cheer up, sleepy Jean, oh what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?
Cheer up, sleepy Jean, oh what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?

Cheer up, sleepy Jean, oh what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?
Cheer up, sleepy Jean, oh what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?

Cheer up, sleepy Jean, oh what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?

I went up to the mountain
Because you asked me to
Up over the clouds
To where the sky was blue

I could see all around me
Everywhere
I could see all around me
Everywhere

Sometimes I feel like
I never been nothing but tired
And I'll be working
'Til the day I expire

Sometimes I lay down
No more can I do
But then I go on again
Because you asked me to

Some days I look down
Afraid I will fall
And though the sun shines
I see nothing at all

Then I hear your sweet voice
Come and then go
Come and then go
Telling me softly
You love me so

The peaceful valley
Just over the mountain
The peaceful valley
Few come to know

I may never get there
Ever in this lifetime
But sooner or later
It's there I will go
Sooner or later
It's there I will go

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind, but now I see

T'was grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come
T'is grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun

When I was a child
I could see the wind in the trees
and I heard a song in the breeze
it was there, singing out my name

But I am not a girl
I have known the taste of defeat
and I have finally grown to believe
it will all came around again

Coro:
And though I may not
know the answers
I can finally say I am free
And if the questions
led me here,then
I am who I was born to be

And so here am I
Open arms and ready to stand
I've got the world in my hands
And it feels like my turn to fly

repit coro

When I was a child
there were flowers that bloomed in the night
Unafraid to take in the light
Unashamed to have braved the dark

repit coro
and ends: I am who I was born to be
I am who I was born to be.

All of my life I have watched you
climbing mountains, chasing dreams
All of my life you gave me everything
but you don't have to give the world to me

Just say you love me as I am,
say you want me as I am,
say I'm someone in your eyes,
that's all I want it to be
Oh, just let me go, I know one day if I'm allowed,
if I'm allowed, one day I'll make you proud

All of your life you've taken chances
you've broke the rules time after time
All of your life you've gone your own way,
so give me this chance, and I'll go mine

Why can't you say you love me as I am,
say you want me as I am,
say I'm someone in your eyes,
that's all I want it to be
Oh, just let me go, I know one day if I'm allowed,
if I'm allowed, one day I'll make you proud

Oh, one day I'll make you proud
mmm

And trying to please you now, it's all I seem to do
I'm holding my dreams down, it's breaking me in two
I've got to be me now 'cause there's already one of you
I'm on my knees so help me please

Please don't shoot me down
Though you can't see it now
Someday I'll make you proud

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to the shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me anymore?

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love

I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye

Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye

Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight

Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ the Saviour is born
Christ the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
