See the tree, how big it's grown 
But friend it hasn't been too long 
It wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad, 
The first day that she planted it
Was just a twig
Then the first snow came and she ran out 
To brush the snow away
So it wouldn't die
Came runnin' in all excited, 
Slipped and almost hurt herself
And I laughed till I cried
She was always young at heart, 
Kinda dumb and kinda smart 
And I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her
When I came in from workin' late 
'Cause I would know
That she'd been sittin' there and cryin'
Over some sad and silly late, late show
And honey, I miss you and I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you if only I could
She wrecked the car and she was sad
And so afraid that I'd be mad 
But what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be
Guess you could say she saw through me 
And hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly 
And caught her cryin' needlessly
In the middle of a day
And it was in the early spring 
When flowers bloom and robins sing
She went away
And honey, I miss you and I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you if only I could
One day while I was not at home 
While she was there and all alone
The angels came
Now all I have is memories of honey 
And I wake up nights and call her name
Now my life's an empty stage 
Where honey lived and honey played
And love grew up
And a small cloud passes overhead 
And cries down on the flower bed
That honey loved
And see the tree how big it's grown 
But friend it hasn't been too long 
It wasn't big
And I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it, 
Was just a twig

What am I supposed to do
With a girl like Jesamine
Though my eyes are open wide
She's made my life a dream
When Jesamine goes a part of me knows
I'm not really living
A butterfly child so free and so wild
And so full of living
When Jesamine stays though time goes fast
This is my world at last
Beautiful days lost in her eyes
But then the whole world dies
When Jesamine goes a part of me knows
I'm not really living
A butterfly child so free and so wild
And so full of living
What can you say
When a girl doesn't want to know
She's too far away
And she makes my life a dream
When Jesamine goes a part of me knows
I'm not really living
A butterfly child, just free and so wild
And so full of living

When Jesamine stays though time goes fast
This is my world at last
Beautiful days lost in her eyes
But then the whole world dies
What am I supposed to do
What can you say
With a girl like Jesamine
When a girl doesn't want to know
Though my eyes are open wide
She's too far away
She's made my life a dream
And she makes my life a dream
When Jesamine goes a part of me knows
I'm not really living
When Jesamine goes a part of me knows
I'm not really living...

The continent of Atlantis was an island
which lay before the great flood
in the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.
So great an area of land, that from her western shores
those beautiful sailors journeyed
to the South and the North Americas with ease,
in their ships with painted sails.

To the East Africa was a neighbour, across a short strait of sea miles.
The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of The Atlantian culture.
The antediluvian kings colonised the world
All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas
In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis.
Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth.
On board were the Twelve:
The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist,
The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends.
Though Gods they were -
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new
Hail Atlantis!
Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be.
Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be.
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
I want to see you some day
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
My antediluvian baby,
My antediluvian baby, I love you, girl,
Girl, I want to see you some day.
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah
I want to see you some day, oh
My antediluvian baby.
My antediluvian baby, I want to see you
My antediluvian baby, gotta tell me where she gone
I want to see you some day
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, oh yeah
Oh glub glub, down down, yeah
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

Tu mi fai girar 
Tu mi fai girar
Come fossi una bambola

Poi mi butti giù
Poi mi butti giù 
Come fossi una bambola

Non ti accorgi quando piango
Quando sono triste e stanca tu
Pensi solo per te

No ragazzo no
No ragazzo no
Del mio amore non ridere

Non ci gioco più
Quando giochi tu
Sai far male da piangere

Da stasera la mia vita
Nelle mani di un ragazzo no
Non la metterò più

No ragazzo no
Tu non mi metterai
Tra le dieci bambole
Che non ti piacciono più

Oh no, oh no

Tu mi fai girar, tu mi fai girar come fossi una bambola

Poi mi butti giù, poi mi butti giù come fossi una bambola

Non ti accorgi quando piango
Quando sono triste e stanca tu
Pensi solo per te

No ragazzo no
Tu non mi metterai
Tra le dieci bambole
Che non ti piacciono più

Oh no, oh no

Tu mi fai girar, tu mi fai girar
Poi mi butti giù, poi mi butti giù


Tu mi fai girar, tu mi fai girar
Poi mi butti giù, poi mi butti giù

If I only had time
Only time

So much to do
If I only had time, if I only had time
Dreams to pursue
If I only had time they'd be mine

Time like the wind
Those are hurrying by and the hours just fly
Where to begin
There are mountains I'd climb, if I'd time

Since I met you I've glored
image: http://static.urx.io/units/web/urx-unit-loader.gif

Life really is too short, lovin' you
So many things we could make true
A whole century isn't enough to satisfy me

So much to do
If I only had time, if I only had time
Dreams to pursue
If I only had time they'd be mine

Mmm, if I only had time
Only time, mmm
