lyrics

time to wake the dead
move these creaky old bones as I will myself out of bed
started long ago
felt a love in my heart, wanted everyone else to know
weather’s gonna change
don’t like lighting that much but I really don’t mind the rain
just three simple words
if you say them enough you can bet that you’ll change the world

I love you

when it first began
they complained about me but I kept coming back again
now they cheer and wave
built a statue of me for the smiles and the love I gave
I even saw the queen
she said, “Johnny I love you” from the back of her black limousine
simple words to say
if you say them enough yours is not the only life you may save
