Boys Of Summer lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm drivin' by your house
Though I know you're not at home

But I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream
Now I don't understand what happened to our love
But babe, I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of

I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

Out on the road today, I saw a deadhead sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back."
I thought I knew what love was - what did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but-

I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

Danny Boy lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so

And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me

I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me

Dealer lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

[Spoken:]
That puts me in a good mood
Thinking about surfing
Wow, we should go surfing
We should go surfing
Surf this groovy vibe

Ah, I'm gonna be a rich girl, some kind of philanthropist
I'm gonna high and get pissed, I'll be addicted to nothing
Gonna be a wife and a mom and when I call people will come
Everyone will listen to me, but my hands will stay clean

Did you see it, did you see the finer print
There are applicable taxes, details inside the package
See my dealer for contest rules

I'm gonna go hungry, gonna fight the good fight
I'm gonna learn to go without but I'll feel no hunger pain
I'm gonna carry the cross, I can carry the weight of the world
And cry all the tears but I know it's not gonna hurt

Did you see it, did you see the finer print
There are applicable taxes, details inside the package
See my dealer for contest rules

I'll see my dealer
I'll see my dealer
Oh oh oh oh

I'm gonna be a rich girl, some kind of philanthropist
I'm gonna high, get pissed, not be addicted to nothing
Gonna be a wife and a mom, and when I call people will come
Everybody will listen to me, but my hands will stay clean

Did you see it, did you see the finer print
There are applicable taxes, details inside the package
See my dealer for contest rules

Did you see it, did you see the finer print
There are applicable taxes, details inside the package
See my dealer for contest rules

I'll see my dealer
I'll see my dealer
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

[Spoken:]
Wow surfing was great wasn't it?
Man, I'm tired
I love surfing
Nice day, eh?

Feels Like Home lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

Somethin' in your eyes, makes me wanna lose myself
Makes me wanna lose myself, in your arms
There's somethin' in your voice, makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life

If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've been so alone
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

A window breaks, down a long, dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm alright, 'cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see, through the dark there is light

Well, if you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
And if you knew how happy you are making me
I never thought that I'd love anyone so much

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way the back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
May your days be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yule-tide gay
From now on our troubles will be far away

Here we are like the olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years, we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star up on the highest bough

And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

I Can't Make You Love Me lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize (don't patronize me)

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no, you won't
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't

I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight (and I will give up this fight)

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no, you won't
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't

Imagine lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
And above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin' for today, ah
Imagine there's no country
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Sharin' all the world, you

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
And no need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace, you

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I know I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

In My Life lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

Oohh ...

There are places I remember
All my life
Though some have changed
Some forever
Not for better
Some have gone
And some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends
I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life
I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one
Compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love
As something new
Though I know I'll never those affection
For people and things
That went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life
I love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things
That went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life
I love you more

Oohh ...

In my life
I love you more

Ken's Song lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

I hadn't seen the boy in fifteen years
He had lines that said he cried a rainbow of tears
He left one day before his late night drives
He said everybody's gotta make a sacrifice
So he replaced the old girl for a boat named Jen
He thought if anyone could love her
Well he was the man

He said my only fear is growing old alone
I've gotta get a lover for this telephone
It doesn't matter if my number's gone when I'm young
But I don't want to grow old alone

Till the day Jen sunk she gave him love so true
She was appraised at fifty-one grand or two
It didn't matter that she took every dime that he had
He had to get off the water and live by the land

He said my only fear is growing old alone
I've gotta get a lover for this telephone
It doesn't matter if my number's gone when I'm young
But I don't want to grow old alone

When I spoke about Jen a tear flowed from his eye
It was the first and last time I saw a grown man cry
He said believe it or not I'm not scared to die
But I don't want to grow old alone

He said my only fear is growing old alone
I've gotta get a lover for this telephone
It doesn't matter if my number's gone when I'm young
But I don't want to grow old alone

Leaving On A Jet Plane lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

I'm ... I'm ...

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

I'm ...

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I'll tell you now, they don't mean a thing

Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, oh, let me kiss you
And close your eyes and I'll be on my way

Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times that I won't have to say ...

Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

And I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

But I'm leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
(Leaving) On a jet plane

Love Is All lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

I don't know
What you're leaving behind
I'm not so sure that
I really want to find out
You don't necessarily
Have plenty of time
You can say it now
For the rest of your life

Love is all you need to live
Then love is all I've got to give
And I give it all

I don't know
What was wrong with my mind
I walked around like
I had a force inside and on my heart
Now I feel like
I got plenty of time
Cause I'm safe from the pain
For the rest of my life

Love is all you need to live
Then love is all I've got to give
And I give it all

You can say that for the rest of your life

Love is all you need to live
Then love is all i've got to give
And I give it all

You said it

Love is all you need to live
Then love is all I've got to give
And I give it all

Love's Recovery lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

During the time of which I speak
It was hard to turn the other cheek
To the blows of insecurity
Feeding the cancer of my intellect
The blood of love soon neglected
Lay dying in the strength of its impurity
Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together
They've all gone and left each other
In search of fairer weather
And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast
To the slim chance of love's recovery

There I am in younger days, star gazing
Painting picture perfect maps
Of how my life and love would be
Not counting the unmarked paths of misdirection
My compass, faith in love's perfection
I missed ten million miles of road i should have seen
Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together
Left each other one by one on the road to fairer weather
And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast
To the slim chance of love's recovery

Rain soaked and voice choked
Like silent screaming in a dream
I search for our absolute distinction
Not content to bow and bend
To the whims of culture that swoop like vultures
Eating us away, eating us away
Eating us away to our extinction

Oh how i wish i were a trinity
So if i lost a part of me
I'd still have two of the same to live
But nobody gets a lifetime rehearsal
As specks of dust we're universal
To let this love survive
Would be the greatest gift that we could give
Tell all the friends who think they're so together
That these are ghosts and mirages
All these thoughts of fairer weather
Though it's storming out I feel safe within the arms
Of love's discovery

O Canada lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command
With glowing hearts we see thee rise
The True North strong and free!

From far and wide
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee

God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee

O Holy Night lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

O Holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt His worth

A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder beams a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night, O night divine

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here came the wise men from the Orient land

The King of Kings lay in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend
He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger

Behold your King
Before the lowly bend
Behold your King
Before Him bend

Truly he taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus rise we
Let all within us praise His holy name
Christ is the Lord then ever, ever praise we
His pow'r and glory ever more proclaim
His pow'r and glory ever more proclaim

Old Man lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

Old man, look at my life
I'm a lot like you were
Old man, look at my life
Twenty four and there's so much more
I live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two

Love lost, such a cost
Well, give me things that don't get lost
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you

Old man, take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you
And I need someone to love me the whole day through
Well, ah, ah, one look in my eyes, you can tell that's true

Lullabies, look in your eyes
You run around the same old town
It doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you

'Cause I've been first and last
And look at how the time goes past
But I'm all alone at last
Rolling home to you

Old man, take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you
And I need someone to love me the whole day through
And now one look in my eyes, you can tell that's true, ooh ooh

Old man

Old man, look at my life
I'm a lot like you were

San Diego Serenade lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

Never saw the morning till I stayed up all night
Never saw the sunshine till I turned out the light
Never saw my home town till I stayed away too long
I never heard the melody till I needed the song

Never saw the white line till I was leavin' you behind
Never knew I needed you till I was caught up in a bind
And I never spoke I love you till I cursed you in vain
Never felt my heart strings until I nearly went insane

Never saw the East coast until I moved to the West
I never saw the moonlight till it shone off your breast
And I never saw your heart till someone tried to steal it away
Never saw your tears till they rolled down your face

I never saw the morning till I stayed up all night
Never saw the sunshine till you turned out the light
Never saw my home town till I stayed away too long
I never heard the melody till I needed the song

Stewart's Coat lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

Hold me, love, I can't sleep again
Or will I have to kiss your lips
Oh, I want to lay in this day, in love
I remember walking in the rain
Rain is falling on my eyes
Oh, I want to live through that again, oh

Outside only it gets darker
And I was walking in the park, now
And children singing songs
Of where we go our dreams come true
I'm in love with you

It only takes love
Love is a healing thing
When you give everything
All your love in the world
The world gives you love to hold on to
It remembers you, 'cause all we're so wrong
I know I am

Somewhere, I don't remember love
Just give me many chances
I'll see you through the storms
Just give me time to learn to grow
Just give me many chances
I'll see you through the wind
Just give me time to learn to grow

In September, when the rain comes and the wind blows
I will see you walking in the cold, alone
But if you'll let me, I will keep you here, inside the stars
I will love the sand on my sheets, and you loving me in the dark

Somewhere, I don't remember love
Just give me many chances
I'll see you through the storms
Just give time to learn to grow
Just give me many chances
I'll see you through the wind
Just give me time to learn to grow
Just give me many chances
I'll see you through the rain
Just give me time to learn, time to learn to grow, oh

Just give me many chances
I'll see you through it all
Just give me time to learn to grow
Time to learn to grow
Time to learn to grow
Time to learn to grow

These Days lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

[from "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" soundtrack] 

What's this life anyway?
What's it to you and me?
What's it to anyone?
Who are we supposed to be?
Make me a storybook
Write me away from here
I need a different now

Where we can wear each other for awhile
I'll len you my tears if I could borrow a smile
I'll get through tomorrow somehow today
Happy After...

Once upon these days

There's four roads to anywhere
Four ways to everything
We were unbreakable
We spoke our destiny
Let's take a moment out
Go were we never go
Let's make a new world now

Where we can wear each other for awhile
I'll lend you my tears if I could borrow your smile
We'll get through tomorrow somehow today
Happy After...

Once upon these days

Then one day we'll find
when we're looking back at this time
Wondering how we've come so far from this
When we close our eyes

What's this life anyway
What's it to you and me
What are we doing here
Who are we supposed to be
I'll take a better world
I'll take anything
I'll take our little world now

Where we can wear each other for awhile
I'll lend you my tears if I could borrow your smile
We'll get through tomorrow somehow today
Happy After...

Once upon these days  

Wild Horses lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
And now you've decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or off stage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses couldn't drag me away

I know I've dreamed you, it's a sin, it's a lie
And I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken tears must be cried
So let's do some living after we die

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses couldn't drag me away

Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses we'll ride them someday
