The light

I Think I See the Light - Cat Stevens


I used to trust nobody, trusting even less their words,

until I found somebody, there was no one I preferred,

my heart was made of stone, my eyes saw only misty grey,

Until you came into my life girl, I saw everyone that way.

Until I found the one I needed at my side,

I think I would have been a sad man all my life.

I think I see the light coming to me,
coming through me giving me a second sight.

So shine, shine, shine,

shine, shine, shine,

shine, shine, shine.


I used to walk alone, every step seemed the same.
This world was not my home, so there was nothing much to gain.

Look up and see the clouds, look down and see the cold floor.
Until you came into my life girl, I saw nothing, nothing more.

Until I found the one I needed at my side,

I think I would have been a sad man all my life.


I think I see the light coming to me,
coming through me giving me a second sight.

So shine, shine, shine,

shine, shine, shine,

shine, shine, shine.

Love after love

The First Cut Is the Deepest - Cat Stevens

I would have given you all of my heart
but there's someone who's torn it apart

and she's taken almost all that I've got

but if you want, I'll try to love again

baby I'll try to love again but I know

The first cut is the deepest, baby I know


The first cut is the deepest

'cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed

when it comes to lovin' me she's worst

but when it comes to being loved she's first
that's how I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know

The first cut is the deepest


I still want you by my side

just to help me dry the tears that I've cried

cause I'm sure gonna give you a try

and if you want, I'll try to love again

but baby, I'll try to love again, but I know


The first cut is the deepest, baby I know

The first cut is the deepest

'Cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me she's worst
but when it comes to being loved she's first

that's how I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
