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...

You might know of the original sin
And you might know how to play with fire
But did you know of the murder committed
In the name of love you thought what a pity

Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
Then wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams are washed away

There was a time when I did not care
And there was a time when the facts did stand
There is a dream and held by me
Well I'm sure you had to see it's up in arms

Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
Then wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams have washed away

You might know of the original sin
And you might know how to play with fire
But did you know of the murder committed
In the name of love you thought what a pity

Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
Then wake up to a brand new day
Dream on black boy
Dream on white girl
Then wake up to a brand new day
Dream on black boy
Dream on white girl
Then wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams are washed away

Dream on, to play with fire
White boy, black girl
Dream on, in the name of love
Black boy, white girl
White boy, black girl
Black boy, white girl

Dream on
The name of love, yeah
You thought what a pity

M'innamoro di te anche se non vuoi
E mi hai detto che non ami mai.
M'innamoro di te perche devo amare
E perche sei tu che so cantare.
E' un'emozione e una cosa che e talmente mia
Tu se vuoi di' alla notte di andar via.
M'innamoro di te perche ho un nodo al cuore
E che voglia o no non ti so scordare.
M'innamoro di te perche forse e meglio
M'innamoro anche se magari sbaglio.

E' una stagione la piu bella e calda che ci sia
Tu se vuoi puoi impedirle di andar via.
E' un amore non speciale te lo puoi portare via
E un amore che ti tiene compagnia.
M'innamoro di te che mi fai volare
E di tutto il blu di questo amore.
M'innamoro di te come dell'estate
Perche allunghi un po' le mie giornate.
C'e una ragione la piu bella e dolce che ci sia
Tu se vuoi puoi chiamarla nostalgia.
M'innamoro di te so che non dovrei
M'innamoro di te di come sei.
M'innamoro di te di ogni tuo momento
M'innamoro di te perche lo sento.
E' un'emozione e una cosa che e talmente mia

M'innamoro di te in tutti I sensi
M'innamoro ailche se tu non mi pensi.
M'innamoro di te che non ne sai niente
M'innamoro di te completamente.
E' un'emozione e una cosa che e talmente mia. ..
M'innamoro di te so che non dovrei. ..
