I'M A BELIEVER

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Ah, love was out to get to me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer I couldn't leave her if I tried

I thought love was more or less a givin' thing
Seemed the more I gave the less I got
What's the use in tryin'
All you get is pain
When I needed sunshine I got rain

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer I couldn't leave her if I tried

Ah, love was out to get to me
Now, that's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer I couldn't leave her if I tried

Yes, I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
There's not a tra-a-a-ace
Of doubt in my mind
Well, I'm a believer
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ah-uh-uh

FADE

Well, I'm a believer
 

 

LAST TRAIN TO CLARKSVILLE
 

Take the last train to Clarksville
And I'll meet you at the station
You can be be there by four thirty
'Cause I made your reservation

Don't be slow, oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!

'Cause I'm leavin' in the morning
And I must see you again
We'll have one more night together
'Til the morning brings my train

And I must go, oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home.

Take the last train to Clarksville
I'll be waiting at the station
We'll have time for coffee flavored kisses
And a bit of conversation

Oh... Oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!

Take the last train to Clarksville
Now I must hang up the phone
I can't hear you in this noisy Railroad station all alone

I'm feelin' low. Oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home

Take the last train to Clarksville
Take the last train to Clarksville
[repeat and fade]

 

DAYDREAM BELIEVER
 

Oh, I could hide neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings
The six-o'clock-alarm would never end
Puts it's rings and I rise
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
My shaving razor's cold and it stings.

Ref.:
Cheer up sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen

2.
You once start of me
As a white night on his deed
Now you know how happy I can be
Oh, and our good time starts and ends
Without dollar one to spend
But how much baby do me really need

Ref.:
Cheer up sleepy Jean ( - 2x - )
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen

Ref.:
Cheer up sleepy Jean ( - 2x - )
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen
