Tell me, just one more time, the reason why you must leave;
Tell me once more why you're sure you don't need me
Tell me again but don't think you'll convince me.

You said, about fallin' in love again you'd rather be dead;
When someone breaks your heart you cry your eyes red
There's nothing so hard about the life that you've led.

As far as I can see, there's no reason for goodbye,
You're just running scared, and that's something I won't buy.
So you lose, I won't let you go, there's nothing to show but more blues
All this talk about leaving is strictly bad news
So you settle down and stay with the boy that loves you

Well the little things that you say and do
make me want to be with you

Oh, rave on it's a crazy feeling
and I know it's got me reelin'
When you say I love you
Rave on

The way you dance and hold me tight
The way you kiss when we goodnight

Rave on its a crazy feeling
and I know its got me reelin'
When you say I love you
oh, Rave on

Well rave on its a crazy feeling
and I know its got me reelin'
I'm so glad your revealing your love for me
Rave on, Rave on, tell me,
Tell me not to be lonely,
Tell me, you love me only
Rave on to me

I knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you,
In worn out shoes,
With silver hair, a ragged shirt, and baggy pants
The old soft shoe.
He jumped so high, jumped so high
Then he'd lightly touch down.

I met him in a cell in New Orleans, I was down and out.
He looked to me to be the eyes of age as he spoke right out
He talked of life, talked of life, he laughed, slapped his leg a step

(CHORUS)

He said his name "Bojangles" then he danced a lick across the cell
He grabbed his pants, a better stance, o he jumped so hi, & he clicked his heels
He let go a laugh, let go a laugh, shook back his clothes all around

(CHORUS)

He danced for those at minstrel shows & county fairs,
throughout the south
He spoke with tears of 15 years how his dog and him traveled about.
His dog up and died, up and died, after 20 years he still grieves.

(CHORUS)

He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks for drinks and tips
But most the time I spend behind these county bars cause I drinks a bit
He shook his head, and as he shook his head I heard someone ask him please

(CHORUS)

I've known for a long time
The kind of girl you are.
And a smile that covers teardrops,
The way your head yields to your heart.
Of things you've kept inside
That most girls couldn't bear,
Well, I've known you for a long time,
But I've just begun to care.

Yes, I've known of all the heartheaches
And I've known of all the pain,
I've seen you when the the sun shines
And I've seen you when it rains.
I've seen you make a look of love
From just an icy stare.
Well, I've known you for a long time,
But I've just begun to care.

I know I've been blind,
To not have loved you all this time.
To not have loved you all this time.
But the image of you wasn't clear.
I guess I've been standing too near.

It's taken me a while
But I have finally found
What you are to me
And that's what really counts,
And what you are to me
Is something we can share.
Well, I've known you for a long time,
But I've just begun to care.
Yes, I've known you for a long time,
But I've just begun to care.

Christopher Robin and I walked along,
Under branches lit up by the moon.
Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore,
As the days disappeared far too soon.
Now I wandered much further today than I should,
And I can't find my way to the three-acre wood.

So help me if you can, I've got to get
Back to the house At Pooh Corner by one.
You'll be surprised, there's so much to be done,
Count all the bees in the hive,
Chase all the clouds from the sky,
Back to the days of Christopher Robin,
And Pooh.

Winnie the Pooh doesn't know what to do,
Got a honey jar stuck on his nose.
He came to me asking help and advice,
And from here no one knows where he goes.
So I went in to ask of the Owl, if he's there,
How to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear.

So help me if you can I've got to get,
Back to the house At Pooh Corner by one.
You'll be surprised there's so much to be done,
Count all the bees in the hive,
Chase all the clouds from the sky,
Back to the days of Christopher Robin,
Back to the ways of Christopher Robin,
And Pooh.
