Lyrics

(Live)

Any day now

Any day now, I will hear you say

"Goodbye my love" you'll be on your way

And my wild, beautiful bird

You will have flown, yeah!

Any day now, I'll be all alone

And you won't be around

Any day now, when your restless eyes meet someone new

To my sad surprise

And the blue shadows will fall all over town

Any day now, you won't be around

Any love will let me down

I shouldn't want to keep you if you don't want to stay

And until you're gone forever

I'll be holding on for dear life, holding on

Holding you this way

And I'm begging you to stay

Any day now, when the clock strikes go, you'll go away

Then my tears will fall

And the blue shadows will fall all over town, yeah!

Any day now, you won't be around

And love will let me down

Baby it's you

It's not the way you smile

That touches my heart

It's not the way you kiss

That tears me apart

(*) many, many, many nights go by

I sit alone

At home I cry

Over you

What can I do

Can't help myself

'Cause baby it's you

You should hear what they're saying about you

They say you've never

Never, never been true

Oh! no! no!

It doesnt matter what they say

I'm gonna love you any old way

What can I do

When it's true

Don't want nobody

'Cause baby it's you

Repeat (*)

Knowing when to leave

Go while the going is good

Knowing when to leave may be

The smartest thing anyone can learn, go!

I'm afraid my heart isn't very smart

Fly while your still have your wings

Knowing when to leave won't let you reach

The point of no return, fly!

Foolish as it seems

I still have my dreams

So I keep hoping, day after day

As I wait for the man

And each night after night as I wish

For the love he can be

Though I'm sure that no one can tell what are

Whishes and hopefully, somehow I fell

There is happiness waiting for me

When someone walks in your life

You just better be sure he's right

'Cause if he's found out, heartches and tears you must pay

Keep both of your eyes on the door

Never let it get out of sight

Just be prepared when the time has come

You aren't away

Sail when the wind starts to blow

Bul like a fool I don't know when to leave

Make it easy on yourself

If you really love her

And there is nothing I can do

Don't try to spair my feelings

Just tell me that we are through

And make it easy on yourself

Make it easy on yourself..

'Cause breaking up is so very hard to do

If the way I hold you

Can't compare to her caress

No words of consolation will make me miss you less

My darling... if this is goodbye

I just know I want to cry..

So run to her before you start crying too

And make it easy on yourself..

Make it easy on yourself..

'Cause breaking up is so very hard to do

And make it easy on yourself

Make it easy on yourself, easy on yourself

Cause breaking up is so very hard to do

(There's) always something

There to remind me

If you should miss

The sweet and tender love we used to share

That we used to share

Just go back to the places where we used to go

And I'll be there

Oh, how can I forget you

When there is always something there to remind me

Always something there to remind me

I was born to love you

I will never be free

You'll always be a part of me

When there is always something there to remind me

I'll never fall in love again

Don't tell me what it's all about

'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out

Out of those chains, those chains that blind you

That is why I'm here to remind you

Here to remind you

Here to remind you

Here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?

You only get lies and pain and sorrow

So for at least until tomorrow

I'll never fall in love again

Oh, I'll never fall in love again

Walk on by

If you see me walking down the street

And I start to cry each time we meet

Walk on by, walk on by

Make believe you don't see the tears

Just let me breathe in private

'Cause each time I see you I break down and cry

Walk on by

I just can't get over losing you

So if I should seem broken and blue

Walk on by, walk on by

Foolish pride that's all that I have left

So let me have the tears and the sadness you gave me

When you said good-bye

Walk on by, by

Do you know the way to san jose

Do you know the way to san jose?

I've been away so long

I may go wrong and lose my way

Do you know the way to san jose?

I'm going back to find some place of mind san jose

L.a. is a great big freeway

Put a $100 down and buy a car

In a week, maybe two they'll make you a star

Weeks turn into years, that quick they pass

And all the stars there never were

Are parking cars and punping gas

I've got lots of friends in san jose

Can't wait to get back to san jose

Do you know the way to san jose?
