Moody Blues

The Night

Nights in white satin,
Never reaching the end,
Letters I've written,
Never meaning to send.

Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before,
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore.

'Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.

Gazing at people,
Some hand in hand,
Just what I'm going thru
They can understand.

Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end,

And I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.

Nights in white satin,
Never reaching the end,
Letters I've written,
Never meaning to send.

Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before,
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore.

'Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.

'Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.

Want To Be With You

Want To Be With You
When I think of all the things that we've been through
And all the things we've yet to do,
I... I start to realize
The world is such a lonely place.
Want to be with you

I remember all the heartaches we have known,
The angry nights when we were lonely.
The jealousy and pain,
Can we remain the same?
The world will have to hold its breath.
Want to be with you

I don't need a reason,
I don't need to understand.
I just want to be,
Want to be with you

Only want your love,
Only want you by my side,
Only want to be,
Want to be with you.

And when I look back down that road
I see the turnings that we both made,
The choice we had to make
The promises we break
Are nothing more than memories.
Want to be with you.

The jealousy and pain,
Can we remain the same?
The world will have to hold its breath.
Want to be with you.

I don't need a reason,
I don't need to understand.
I just want to be,
Want to be with you.

Only want your love,
Only want you by my side,
Only want to be,
Want to be with you.

Tuesday Afternoon

Tuesday afternoon
I'm just beginning to see
Now I'm on my way
It doesn't matter to me
Chasing the clouds away

Something calls to me
The trees are drawing me near
I've got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear
Explain it all with a sigh

I'm looking at myself
Reflections of my mind
It's just the kind of day
To leave myself behind

So gently swaying through
The fairyland of love
If you'll just come with me
You'll see the beauty of

Tuesday afternoon
Tuesday afternoon

The Voice

Won't you take me back to school?
I need to learn the golden rule
Won't you lay it on the line?
I need to hear it just one more time
Oh, won't you tell me again
Oh, Can you feel it?
Oh, Won't you tell me again tonight

Each and every heart it seems
Is bounded by a world of dreams
Each and every rising sun
Is greeted by a lonely one
Oh, won't you tell me again
Oh, Can you feel it?
Oh, won't you tell me again tonight
Tonight

'Cause out on the ocean of life my love
There's so many storms we must rise above
Can you hear the spirit calling?
As it's carried across the waves
You're already falling
It's calling you back to face the music
And the song that is coming through
You're already falling
The one that it's calling is you

Make a promise, take a vow
And trust your feelings, it's easy now
Understand the voice within
And feel the change already beginning
Oh, won't you tell me again
Oh, can you feel it?
Oh, won't you tell me again tonight


Oh, won't you tell me again
Oh, can you feel it?
Oh, won't you tell me again tonight
Tonight

And how many words have I got to say?
And how many times will it be this way?
With your arms around the future
And your back up against the past
You're already falling
It's calling you on to face the music
And the song that is coming through
You're already falling
The one that it's calling is you

Each and every heart it seems
Is bounded by a world of dreams
Each and every rising sun
Is greeted by a lonely, lonely one
Won't you tell me again
Oh, can you feel it?
Oh, won't you tell me again tonight

Oh, won't you tell me again
Oh, can you feel it?
Oh, won't you tell me again tonight
Tonight

Oh, can you feel it?
Tonight

Oh, won't you tell me again tonight
Tonight

The Story In Your Eyes


The Story In Your Eyes
I've been thinking about our fortune
And I've decided that we're really not to blame
For the love that's deep inside us now
Is still the same.
And the sound we make together
Is the music to the story in your eyes
It's been shining down upon me now
I realise.

Listen to the tide slowly turning,
Wash all our heartaches away.
We're part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build for another day

But I'm frightened for your children
And the life that we are living is in vain
And the sunshine we've been waiting for
Will turn to rain.

When the final line is over
And it's certain that the curtain's gonna fall
I can hide inside your sweet innocent love
For evermore

Listen to the tide slowly turning,
Wash all our heartaches away.
We're part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build for another day

But I'm frightened for your children
And the life that we are living is in vain
And the sunshine we've been waiting for
Will turn to rain.

Talking Out Of Turn

When I took a little loving from you
Oh, I never thought about the hurting inside
But I took a little more than I should
Oh, I can't explain that I ever would
Let you slip through my fingers
Let you escape like yesterday
I would appreciate you knowing
I thought your love had come to stay

Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn?
Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn?

But I took a little more of your each day
When I didn't see that I was breaking you apart
With angry words of love I didn't mean
Oh, I can't believe that I would ever
Talk myself out of tomorrow
Talked like a fool to yesterday
And as the evening loses colour
Your love began to fade away [Fade Away...]

Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn?
Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn?

Talking out of turn
Talking out of turn

If I upset you
I didn't mean to hurt you
I didn't mean to make you cry
I don't need an alibi
To start me talking out of turn


When I took a little loving from you
Oh, I can't believe that I would ever
Let you slip through my fingers
Let you escape like yesterday
I would appreciate you knowing
I thought your love had come to stay

Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn?
Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn?

Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn?


Talk, talk, talking out of turn
Talk, talk, talking out of turn

Running Water

Time hurries on,
Look and it's gone.
The changing of the autumn tide,
The hopes that live,
The dreams that die.
If I could have you by my side
I'd give it all away.
You, you and I
We must hold on.
We must try
To reach beyond that far-off cloud
Along the road we're travelling now.
If I could only show you how,
I need you there with me.

Oh, running water,
Don't care what people say,
We live to love another day.
Oh, running water,
Don't throw your love away,
We live to love another day.

Time hurries on,
Turn around and it is gone.
If only we could hold that dream,
If only life was what it seemed.
I know, my darling, what you mean,
I've seen it slip away.

Oh, running water,
Don't care what people say,
We live to love another day.
Oh, running water,
Don't throw your love away,
We live to love another day.

In My World

In my world
It's heaven on earth when you're close to me
I could see
That moment of truth when you spoke to me
In my world
It's never too late, we can both be free
In my world
It's heaven on earth when you're near

If you knew
The changes I feel that you put me through
And you do
I see in your eyes that you really do
And it's true
It happened so fast that it must be true
In my world
It's heaven on earth when you're near

And I'm only just beginning
To believe what you have done
How you turned it upside down
This world of mine
And it seems while I was looking
It was right in front of me
All the time

In my world
It's heaven on earth when you're close to me
I could see
That moment of truth when you spoke to me
In my world
It's never too late we can both be free
In my world
It's heaven on earth when you're near

'Cause I'm only just beginning
To believe what you have done
How you turned it upside down
This world of mine
And it seems while I was looking
It was right in front of me
All the time

If you knew
The changes I feel that you put me through
And you do
I see in your eyes that you really do
And it's true
It happened so fast that it must be true
In my world
It's heaven on earth when you're near

Go now

We've already said
Goodbye
Since you gotta go, oh you'd better
Go now go now, go now (Go now)
Before you see me cry
I don't want you to tell me just what you intend to do now
'Cause how many times do I have to tell you darlin', darlin'
I'm still in love with you now
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

We've already said
So long
I don't wanna see you go, oh you'd better

Don't you even try
Tellin' me that you really don't want it to end this way
'Cause darlin', darlin', can't you see I want you to stay
Yeah, yeah

Forever Autumn

The summer sun is fading as the year grows old
And darker days are drawing near
The winter winds will be much colder
Now you're not here
I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
And one by one they disappear
I wish that I was flying with them
Now you're not here

Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away

Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
You always loved this time of year
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here

Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away

A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
As if to hide a lonely tear
My life will be forever autumn
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here

Driftwood

Just like the driftwood of a dream
Left on the seashore of sleep;
Just like the words that wouldn't rhyme
Lost in the desert of time;

Time waits for no one at all,
No, not even you.
You thought you'd seen it all before,
You really thought you knew.

I don't remember what was said
In the confusion that night.
I only know what's on my mind,
What's in the future we will decide.

Time waits for no one at all,
No, not even you.
You thought you'd seen it all before,
You really thought you knew.

I've shattered the illusion
Of fortune and of fame
But, darling, now I know you,
Life can never be the same,
Oh no... don't leave me driftwood
On the shore.

Time waits for no one at all,
No, not even you.
You thought you'd seen it all before,
You really thought you knew.

I've shattered the illusion
Of fortune and of fame.
I'm waking up,
I'm reaching up,
I'm getting up from this game,
Oh no... don't leave me driftwood
On the shore.
Oh no... don't leave me driftwood
On the shore.

Boulevard de la Madeleine

She said she'd come, she didn't
I'm the one in love, she isn't
There's no girl standing there
And there's no one who cares
And the trees are so bare
On the Boulevard de la Madeleine

It's a sad day in Paris
With no girl by my side
Got to feeling so badly
Like a part of me died
It would have been
So good to see her
I never thought
She wouldn't be there
There's no girl standing there
And there's no one who cares
And the trees are so bare
On the Boulevard de la Madeleine

Oh, I wish I knew her better
It's not easy to forget her
There's no girl standing there
And there's no one who cares
And the trees are so bare
On the Boulevard de la Madeleine

It's a sad day in Paris
With no girl by my side
Got to feeling so badly
Like a part of me died
It would have been
So good to see her
I never thought
She wouldn't be there
There's no girl standing there
And there's no one who cares
And the trees are so bare
On the Boulevard de la Madeleine
