JOHNNY MAESTRO: 16 CANDLES & 7 MORE





1. THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN

Girl, I heard, you're getting married
Girl, I heard, you're getting married

This time you're really sure and this is the end
They say, you really mean it
This guy's the one that makes you feel
So safe, so sane and so secure

And baby, if he loves you more than me
Maybe it's the best thing
Maybe it's the best thing for you
But it's the worst that could happen to me

I'm never gettin' married, never gettin' married
You know that's not my scene
But a girl like you, needs to be married
I've known all along, you couldn't live forever in
between


And baby, if he loves you more than me
Maybe it's the best thing

Maybe it's the best thing for you
But it's the worst that could happen, oh to me

And girl, I don't really blame you
For having a dream of your own
Hey girl, I don't really blame you
A woman like you needs a house and a home

2. Welcome Me Love


Walking home I pass her door
And I send a special prayer
Up to the room on the second floor
For my mind is in there with her
But my body takes me home
And I need to have a love
Because I've been too long alone
So won't you
Welcome me love
My name is lonely
Tell that girl that I think
of her only
I want to do it right
So help me like the light in her eye
Welcome me love
I know you don't know me
Take my hand there's a lot you can show me
I want to do it right
So help me like the light in her eye
I'll try to make her happy
And I promise I'll be good
I'll play it by the rules
Just like every lover should
In times that I will fail her
And we let each other down
But I'm sure that we can make it
Just As long as you're around
So won't you
Welcome me love
My name is lonely
Tell that girl that I think of her only
I want to do it right
So help me like the light in her eyes
Welcome me love
I know you don't know me
Take my hand there's a lot you can show me
I want to do ti right
So help me like the light in her eye

3. YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE


When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid
Of the dark

At the end of a storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver
Song of a lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be
Tossed and blown

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never, ever walk alone

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never, ever walk alone

4. YOUR HUSBAND - MY WIFE

She knows I'm true
But what she don't know
Is I'm true to only you

Tell me where does it stop
Does he know his married life
Is on the rocks

Now before you say you want me
For the rest of your life
What are we gonna do
About your husband
And what are we gonna do
About my wife

Sneak to your side in the darkness
Where our faithfulness must hide
Knowing I'll forever taste
All the tears I put upon
My children's face

Before I say I want you
For the rest of my life
What are we gonna do
About your husband
And what are we gonna do
About my wife

Should we stop and look around
Let's think about the
Hearts we'll be breaking

And though we want each other
We need each other and
We love each other
Think about the move we are making

Baby, don't you dry
No matter what
We'll never, never say goodbye
And I, I promise you this
Though she wears my ring
You'll always wear my kiss

Don't ask for marriage
We can't pay the price
Cause you don't really
Wanna hurt your husband
And I don't really
Wanna hurt my wife

Oh, we'd better stop
Think it over, baby
Oh, what are we gonna do now
You've got to help me, baby

Cause I need, I want you
And I love you, hey, hey




5. BLESSED IS THE RAIN


Blessed is the rain that falls on me
As far as that girl can see
The earth that I walk upon is heavenly
Blessed is the love I bring to her
And knowing what it means to her
In the eyes of that girl
I am everything to her
But what happens
When the statue on the pedestal
Comes crumbling to the ground
I don't wanna be around
To see the sorrow on her face
When she thinks I let her down
And what happens
When she finds the world is real
And not the fairyland she thinks it is
That I'm a man who lives and breathes
And makes mistakes and not a
Superman she dreamed
Blessed is the strength she finds in me
And the weakness she'll never see
I'll go before the image falls apart
And blessed is the way I'll always
Stay in her heart
Oh, blessed is the way I'll always
Stay in her heart

6. DOWN BY THE RIVER


Be on my side
I'll be on your side, baby
There's no reason
For you to hide

It's so hard for me
Staying here all alone
When you could be
Taking me for a ride

Ooh, yeah, she could
Drag me over the rainbow
Send me away

[CHORUS]
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
I shot my baby

You take my hand
I'll take your hand
Together we may get away
Oh, this much madness
Is too much sorrow
It's impossible to make it today

Ooh, yeah, she could
Drag me over the rainbow
Send me away

[Repeat CHORUS 2x]

7. DAY IS DONE

Tell me why are you crying, my son
I know you're frightened like everyone
Is it the thunder and lightning you fear
Will it help if I stand very near

And if you take my hand, my son
Things will be well when the day is done
And if you take my hand, my son
Things will be well when the day is done

Why don't you take my hand, my son
Things will be well when the day is done
So come on and take my hand, my son
Things will be better when the day is done

You ask me why I'm sighing, my son
You shall inherit what mankind has done
In a world filled with sorrow and woe
Please don't ask me why this is so

All you gotta do is take my hand, my son
Things will be well when the day is done
So won't you take my hand, my son
Things will be well when the day is done

Come, come on and take my hand, my son
Things will be well when the day is done
Why don't you take my hand, my son
Things will be better

Day is done, day is done
Day is done, oh, done

All you gotta do is take my hand, my son
Things will be well when the day is done
Come on, come on and take my hand, my son
Things will be better when the day is done

Tell me why you're smiling, my son
Is there a secret you can tell everyone
Do you know more than men that are wise
Can you see what we all must disguise

So won't you take my hand, my son
Things will be well when the day is done
And if you take my hand, my son
Things will be well when the day is done

Come on, come on and take my hand, my son
Things will be well when the day is done
All you gotta do is take my hand, my son
Things will be better

Day is done, things will be better
Day is done, things will be better
Day is done, things will be better
Day is done, things will be better, better

Day is done, things will be better
Day is done, things will be better, better
Day is done, things will be better
Day is done, things will be better, better..
