Song lyrics

See the man,
see the head of silver grey,
see the lines crossed.
See the man,
see the chances tossed away,
see the time lost.

Willie and the Lapdog (1973)

• See the man,
  see the head of silver grey,
  see the lines crossed.
  See the man,
  see the chances tossed away,
  see the time lost.

Breakaway (1976)

I watch the distant lights go down the runway,
disappear into the evening sky.
Oh you know I'm with you on your journey
never could say goodbye.

Stay young, keep your wheels in motion
You've got everything that you need
Stay young with your rock n' rollin'
All the best things in life are free

I wanna stay with you
for the rest of my life
I wanna live with you
for the rest of my life

Fifteen summers, and you're trying to tell me
just how lonely this world can be
Fifteen summers, you say you're the only
one who's had good love go badly
And I can't tell you how these things happen
All you can do is pray for love and let it be

• I watch the distant lights go down the runway,
  disappear into the evening sky.
  Oh you know I'm with you on your journey
  never could say goodbye.
  And you awaken in another country,
  greet the morning under foreign skies
  leaving me to face another Monday.
  It's not easy to get by.
  It's not the place you're going to,
  it's just a phase you're going through.
  Though I won't stop you, I don't want you to
  breakaway

• Stay young, keep your wheels in motion
  You've got everything that you need
  Stay young with your rock n' rollin'
  All the best things in life are free
  • "Stay Young" (song, on YouTube)

• When I gave my loving to you
  it meant little to me
  Somehow somewhere you changed my point of view.
  Good times, bad times, happy or sad,
  being in love is better than being out.
  I might have had my doubts
  but nothing to write home about.
  I wanna stay with you
  for the rest of my life
  I wanna live with you
  for the rest of my life
  I wanna stay with you
  for the rest of my life

• Fifteen summers, and you're trying to tell me
  just how lonely this world can be
  Fifteen summers, you say you're the only
  one who's had good love go badly
  And I can't tell you how these things happen
  All you can do is pray for love and let it be
  Fifteen summers, already you're a woman
  or let's just say you could have fooled me
  There's nothing missing, your heart strings just need tuning
  but you can't wait, you want to play the whole recital right away
  And I can't tell you how these things happen
  You give your heart, hoping that someone else
  gives you love in return
  
  • "Fifteen Summers" (song, on YouTube)

• I got a storm in my soul
  A storm in my soul
  Silver tongues can't take away
  the storm in my soul
