next song Yes: Open Your Eyes Yes: Something's Coming Yes: Yesstory Yes: Yesyears Something's Coming
(Bernstein/Sondheim)
Could be
Who knows?
There something due any day
I will know right away
Soon as it shows

It may come cannon-ballin* down from the sky
Gleam in its eye
Bright as a rose
Who knows?

It*s only just out of reach
Down a block, on the beach
Under a tree
I got a feeling there*s a miracle due
Gotta come through
Coming to me

Could it be
Yes it could
Something*s coming
Something good
If I can wait

Something*s coming
I don*t know what it is
But it is
Going to be great

With a click
With a shock
Bell will jingle
Door will knock
Open the latch

Something*s coming
I don*t know what it is
But it is
Going to be great

Around the corner
A-whistlin* down the river
Come on deliver
To me
To me

Could be
Who knows?
There something due any day
I will know right away
Soon as it shows

It may come cannon-ballin* down from the sky
Gleam in its eye
Bright as a rose
Who knows?

It*s only just out of reach
Down a block, on the beach
Under a tree
I got a feeling there*s a miracle due
Gotta come through
Coming to me
To me

Tonight, Tonight
Won*t be just any night
Tonight there will be no morning star.

Tonight.
next song previous song Yes: Something's Coming Yes: Yesyears Yes: Time And A Word Everydays
(Stills)
Look at the sad goodbyes
Everydays are killing time
Sun coming up outside
No men are born this time
Saturday*s child stays home
Nothing to say So long

Well, well, well,
Another day
Well, well, well,
Another day ...day ...day

Grocery store
Ten bucks
Just making change for plastic cherries
Up in a tree, jaybird
Looking at me, no word
Everyone looks
We can*t see
We can't be ignored easily

Well, well, well,
Another day
Well, well, well,
Another day

Soft within the wayward things
Like ecstacy
The sound of trees
Most anything
What a baby sees

Beautiful face, alright
Many a place, outta sight
Old woman there with red shoes
One million balloons, all used
Drive over hills, forget your fear
Getting it out of second gear

Well, well, well,
Another day
Well, well, well,
Another day         (Repeat)
next song previous song Yes: Something's Coming Yes: Yes Sweetness
(Anderson/Squire/Bailey)
She brings the sunshine to a rainy afternoon;
She puts the sweetness in, stirs it with a spoon.
She watches for my moods, never brings me down;
She puts the sweetness in, all around.
She knows just what to say to make me feel so good inside.
And when I'm all alone I feel I don't want to hide, hide, hide.

Today she brought me in, told me where she'd been;
She put my mind at rest, put the sweetness in.
I'll ask her for some time to go and look around;
She puts the sweetness in with a sound.
She knows just what to say to make a sunny day.
And when I'm all alone I really don't feel that way.
Tell me, how would you feel with no world of your own and nobody to hold?
I just can't see the way; I'm so glad it's today and you're here, you're here.

She brings the sunshine to a rainy afternoon;
She puts the sweetness in, stirs it with a spoon.
She watches for my moods, never brings me down;
She puts the sweetness in, all around.
She knows just what to say to make me feel so good inside.
And when I'm all alone I really don't feel that way.

Oh how I need her so,
I know she'll never go. Doo doo doo doot n doo.
She'll never leave me, believe me, no. Doo doo doo doot n doo.
She'll never go, no no no no no no no no no no no no.
next song previous song Yes: Something's Coming Yes: Yesterdays Dear Father
(Anderson/Squire)
Here are the books
Of Luke
You*ll need them
To open the seed
To see what goes on in the world

You*re in my mind
Catch the wind and hold on tight
To what we*ll find
And hear what goes on in the world

Here is all you see
Everything is made for you
From me

If there*s anything you*d like  to say
that could help me in any way
Cause I*ve been waiting for so long for you to come along
Help me on that day

When you*d take over all the things Heaven has made for you
Is there anything you think you should know?
Is there anything before I go?

Dear Father, I*m hungry, I*m cold
Dear Father, feeling terribly old
Dear Father, I don*t think I can see
I*m not feeling good like I think I should

They*re on their own
Needing their face, a place
Hope....home
To see what goes on in the world

They*re who you need
To show them why they*re wrong
Oh why indeed
We need to go on in the world

Here is all you see
Everything is made for you
From me

If there*s any complication
That you*d like to talk over with me about
Cause I*ve been waiting for so long
For you to come along
We can work it all out

When you take over all the things Heaven has made for you
Is there anything you think you should know
Is there anything before I go

Dear Father, you must be putting me on
Dear Father, cause most of their minds are gone
Dear Father, they will not understand me
I*m not feeling good like I think I should

Dear Father, can I give it a miss
Dear Father, cause I*m not ready for this
Dear Father, I don*t think I can see
I*m not feeling good like I think I should

Dear Father, won*t you leave me alone
Dear Father, won*t you to let me go home
Dear Father, I don*t think I can see
Dear Father, won*t they crucify me
Dear Father, I just couldn*t do that
Dear Father, cause that*s not where it*s at now (hey)
next song previous song Yes: Something's Coming Yes: Yesstory Yes: Yesyears Yes: Yes Every Little Thing
(Lennon/McCartney)
When I'm walking beside her,
People tell me I'm lucky
Yes I know I'm a lucky guy
I remember the first time
I was lonely without her
Can't stop thinking about her now
Every little thing she does
She does for me
And you know the things she does
She does for me

When I'm with her I'm happy
Just to know that she loves me
Yes I know that she loves me now
There is one thing I'm sure of
I will love her forever
'cause I know love will never die
Every little thing she does
She does for me
And you know the things she does
She does for me

Every little thing she does
She does for me
And you know the things she does
She does for me

When I'm with her I'm happy
Just to know that she loves me
Yes I know that she loves me now
There is one thing I'm sure of
I will love her forever
'cause I know love will never die
Every little thing she does
She does for me
And you know the things she does
She does for me

Every little thing, Every little thing,
Every little thing, Every little thing.
next song previous song Yes: Something's Coming Yes: Yesterdays Yes: Yes Looking Around
(Anderson/Squire)
Looking around me,
There's not so much in life I miss.
Things that I can't see,
I'll touch and I'll feel then I'll kiss.
Then I saw you standing there
With a smile I couldn't share,
Just looking around ev'rywhere.

All the things I've wanted to do
Take so much time to get around to you.
Just reach out and catch and hold on,
Leaving trails of dust and lust,
Never even ly'ng or try'ng, keep on moving, never dying.

Tunes that I can't hear
Would take me for a while my smile.
Fares that are too dear,
I'd rather walk out another mile.
Then I heard a tune so right,
It was in the dark of night,
Just list'ning around ev'rywhere.

All the things I've wanted to do
Take so much time to get around to you.
Just reach out and catch and hold on,
Leaving trails of dust and lust,
Never even ly'ng or try'ng, keep on moving, never dying.

Smiles that I don't see,
I'll make them up as I go on.
Laughs that just can't be,
I'll make and laugh at ev'ry one.
Then I saw you in your place
With a laugh upon your face,
Just looking around ev'rywhere.

All the things I've wanted to do
Take so much time to get around to you.
Just reach out and catch and hold on,
Leaving trails of dust and lust,
Never even ly'ng or try'ng, keep on moving, never dying.

Looking around with my feet on the ground
Full of words and of sound, bringing smiles all around.

Satisfy me with your words that can be,
Full of sound and I'll see I'm just looking around.
next song previous song Yes: Something's Coming Yes: Yesyears Yes: Yesterdays Yes: Time And A Word Sweet Dreams
(Anderson/Foster)
Sweet dreams can solve the future,
Sweet dreams provide the past.
Sweet things within your makeup;
These things will always last,
These things will make

Sweet dreams of conversation,
Sweet dreams of love affection.
Sweet words within your makeup;
Sweet words of things to

Come on and write your letter,
You know it will be better anyhow.
You're gonna laugh again,
You're gonna smile again,
You're gonna love again.

Sweet dreams are born inside you,
Sweet dreams are born to last.
Sweet thoughts within your makeup;
These thoughts will always last,
These thoughts will always last.

Come on and write your letter,
You know it will be better anyhow.
You're gonna laugh again,
You're gonna smile again,
You're gonna love again.

Sweet dreams can solve the future,
Sweet dreams provide the past.
Sweet dreams can solve the future,
Sweet dreams provide the past.
next song previous song Yes: Something's Coming Yes: Yesyears Yes: Yesterdays Yes: Time And A Word Then
(Anderson)
And in a time that's closer, life will be even bolder then.
Souls will be complicated, life will be consummated then.
Hearts will be brought together soon in our minds forever then.
As long as we see there's only us, who can change it;
Only us to rearrange it at the start of a new kind of day.
And in a time that's closer, life will be even bolder then.
Love is the only answer, hate is the root of cancer then.
Thoughts will be thought together, soon in our minds forever then.

Love is the only answer, hate is the root of cancer then.
Truth is just for the being and there's the sight for seeing then.
Thoughts will be brought together soon in our minds forever then.
As long as we see there's only us, who can change it;
Only us to rearrange it at the start of a new kind of day.
And in a time that's closer, life will be even bolder then.
Love is the only answer, hate is the root of cancer then.
Thoughts will be thought together, soon in our minds forever then.

(Havens)
Step out in the night
When you*re lonely
Listening for the sounds
That your ears don*t hear
I know your cross is heavier
With every step
Every step
But I know a man
And he*d walk miles for you

Stop, you stay where you are
Take a look at yourself
Take a good look at yourself
*Can tell your momma
She*d only tell ya
That she told you so
The life you*re leading
She won*t believe
The riches of life
We all know

Dawn turns to day
And the dawning
Daytime, nighttime
And we still can*t see
Why must we wait until the morning light
To wake up and be
Wake up and be
Wake up and be

Step out in the night
When you*re lonely
Listen for the sounds
That your ears don*t hear
I know your cross is heavier
With every step
Every step
But I know a man
Who*d walk miles for you

Stop, you stay where you are
Take a look at yourself
Take a good look at yourself
*Can tell your momma
She*d only tell ya
That she told you so
The life you*re leading
She won*t believe
The riches of life
We all know

*Can tell your momma

That she told you so
The life you*re leading
She won*t believe
The riches of life
We all know
next song previous song Yes: Something's Coming Yes: Yesterdays Yes: Time And A Word Astral Traveller
(Anderson)
And in the ruins
Caught in the noose around me,
Glasses tell lies.
Wondering when
To do it again of another
Flying to the sky,
Somewhere flying high.
Astral trav'ller,
Leaving without her,
Wond'ring where lives go;
In and out the valley below.

Once in the air,
We could expect a great respect in being.
(Astral trav'ller.)
Memories fly
Over the sky, and oh, the
Sight's worth seeing,
Just believin'.
Astral trav'ller,
Leaving without her,
Wond'ring where lives go;
In and out the valley below.

Look on a new day
Love's sun arising
Love comes surprising
Even me
Love comes surprising
Everyone

Inside of your love
All is confusion
Love revolution (or) Love's resolution
Never my
Love revolution
Everywhere
Everywhere

Look on a new day (or) Luck of a new day
And no change the answer (or) As no change the answer
When life see's a chance for  (or) seize a chance for
In your eyes
Will I see a chance for (or) seize a chance for
Everyone

All I can show you
You may guarantee that (or) You may find it's easy
All I can see that is
In your eyes
Feel for me and (or) In it for me and
For Everyone
For Everyone
For Everyone

Loneliness is a pow'r that we possess
To give or take away forever.
All I know can be shown by your acceptance
Of the fact there shown before you.
    There is life
    There is love
    There is you
    There is time

Take what I say in a diff'rent way
And it's easy to see that this is all confusion.
As I see a new day in me,
I can also show it you, and you may follow.
    First there's life
    Then there's love
    'Cause there's you
    Then there's time
    And they're one
    Can't control
    All you see
    In the soul
    What you need
    Can't be told
    There is no one
    All alone

[INCREDIBLE BASS SOLO]

Outside of your love (?)
All this confusion
Love revolution
Close your mind  (or) 'Cause you're mine...
Love revolution
Everywhere
Everywhere
Everywhere
Everywhere

Luck of a new day
As no change the answer
Will I sieze a chance there
In your eyes
When I sieze a chance for
Everyone

All I can show you
You may guarantee that  (or) You make your own...
All I can see that is
In your eyes
In it for me and
For Everyone
For Everyone
For Everyone
Yes: Friends And Relatives (1st disc) previous song Yes: Something's Coming Yes: Yes Beyond And Before
(Squire/Bailey)
Sparkling trees of silver foam cast shadows in winter home,
Swaying branches breaking sound, lonely forest trembling ground.
Masquerading leaves of blue run circles round the morning dew,
Patterns understood by you, reaching out beyond and before.
Time, like gold dust, brings mind down to hidden levels underground,
Say a few words to the wind, that's all that's left of winter's friend.

Reaching the snow in the days of the cold, casting a spell out of ice.
Now that you're gone,
The summer's too long and it seems like the end of my life
Beyond and before.
Time, like gold dust, brings mind down.
