so you’re in love love is grand
you oughta Hold those cards a little closer to your vest
Don’t wanna over play your hand
almost every time you’d find that reticence best
I wish I had an angel on my shoulder
Warning me when I was just about to say too much
Instead I got this devil in the mirror,
who tells me I’ll regret it if I didn't say enough
You should never give it all up
instead, Take what you're thinking, and then just keep it to yourself
You're only going to make it rough
If you tell someone you love them You'll just blow it all to hell
CH
Make sure you never bare your soul
Tell somebody everything and and how it makes you feel
You'll only dig yourself a hole
so go lay down in it by yourself--you'll find the only thing that's real

Hard Days

All that I ever wanted was a way to make you smile
Try to raise a laugh out of the rubble
Most of the time I found I missed it by a mile
And all that I ever found was trouble
These are hard days now, and there’ll be hard days again
When they’ll come, we have no way of knowing
But as sure as the springtime lands in the place where winter’s been
I happen to know the hard days will be going
I’d ask you to look back on the days when your life was grand
Before all the changes left you wanting
Now open your eyes to see the beauty here at hand
From there, the present is not so daunting
So this is the price you pay for being on your own
Where everything stays right where you place it
Looking around, seems like your choices found you home
Nothing left now but for you to face it
