    Song: Love Comes To Everyone Duration: 4.35 Track No.: 1 Composer: Harrison Vocals: George Harrison Year: 1979
    Lyrics:
    Go do it, Got to go through that door, There's no easy was out at all . . . Still it only takes time 'Til love comes to everyone. For you who it always seems blue It all comes, it never rains But it pours, Still it only takes time . . . 'Til love comes to everyone. There in your heart . . . Something that's never changing; Always a part of . . . Something that's never ageing, That's in your heart . . . It's so true it can happen to you all; there, Knock and it will open wide, And it only takes time 'Til love comes to everyone.

    Song: Not Guilty Duration: 3.34 Track No.: 2 Composer: Harrison Vocals: George Harrison Year: 1979
    Lyrics:
    Not guilty For getting in your way While you're trying to steal the day Not guilty And I'm not here for the rest I'm not trying to steal your vest. I am not trying to be smart I only want what I can get I'm really sorry for your ageing head But like you heard me said Not guilty. Not guilty For being on your street Getting underneath your feet Not guilty No use handing me a writ While I'm trying to do my bit. I don't expect to take your heart . . . I only want what I can get I'm really sorry that you're underfed . . . But like you heard me said . . . Not guilty. Not guilty For looking like a freak Making friends with every Sikh Not guilty For leading you astray On the road to Mandalay. I won't upset the apple cart I only want what I can get I'm really sorry that you've been misled . . . But like you heard me said . . . Not guilty.

    Song: Here Comes The Moon Duration: 4.48 Track No.: 3 Composer: Harrison Vocals: George Harrison Year: 1979
    Lyrics:
    Everybody's talking up a storm Act like they don't notice it But here it is and here it comes . . . Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon. Impulse always quickens when it's full As it turns my head around me Yes it does and here it comes Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon. God's gift I see that's moving up there into the night . . . Though dark the mirror in the sky reflects us our light: Looks like a little brother to the sun Or mother to the stars at night And here it is and here it comes Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon. Breath is always taken when it's new Enhance upon the clouds around it Yes it is and here it comes Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon.

    Song: Soft-Hearted Hana Duration: 4.02 Track No.: 4 Composer: Harrison Vocals: George Harrison Year: 1979
    Lyrics:
    I ate it and at once my eyes could see you No sooner had I ooped it down I felt so far off from the ground I stood on. My legs they seemed to me like high-rise buildings My head was high up in the sky My skin the sun began to fry like bacon. And then somebody old appeared and asked had I come far . . . And hadn't they just seen me up on Haleakala . . . I kept on body surfing to pretend I hadn't heard There was someone there beside me, swimming like Richard III And I'm still smiling Seven naked native girls swam seven sacred pools . . . Lone-ranger smoking doobies said you're breaking all the rules . . . You'd better get your clothes on or else there'll be a row . . . If it wasn't for my sunstroke I would take you on right now . . . And I'm still smiling. I fell in love with my Soft-Hearted Hana She entered right in through my heart And now although we're miles apart I still feel her. She lives beneath the crater in the meadow She moves among the fruit and grain You can meet her after heavy rain has fallen.

    Song: Blow Away Duration: 3.59 Track No.: 5 Composer: Harrison Vocals: George Harrison Year: 1979
    Lyrics:
    Day turned black, sky ripped apart Rained for a year 'til it dampened my heart Cracks and leaks The floorboards caught rot About to go down I had almost forgot. All I got to do is to love you All I got to be is, be happy All it's got to take is some warmth to make it Blow Away, Blow Away, Blow Away. Sky cleared up, day turned to bright Closing both eyes now the head filled with light Hard to remember what a state I was in Instant amnesia Yang to the Yin. All I got to do is to love you All I got to be is, be happy All it's got to take is some warmth to make it Blow Away, Blow Away, Blow Away. Wind blew in, cloud was dispersed Rainbows appearing, the pressures were burst Breezes a-singing, now feeling good The moment had passed Like I knew that it should. All I got to do is to love you All I got to be is, be happy All it's got to take is some warmth to make it Blow Away, Blow Away, Blow Away.

    Song: Faster Duration: 4.46 Track No.: 6 Composer: Harrison Vocals: George Harrison Year: 1979
    Lyrics:
    Chose a life in circuses Jumped into the deepest end Pushing himself to all extremes Made it - people became his friend. Now they stood and noticed him Wanted to be part of it Pulled out some poor machinery So he worked 'til the pieces fit. The people were intrigued His wife held back her fears The headlines gave acclaim He'd realized their dreams. Faster than a bullet from a gun He is faster than everyone Quicker than the blinking of an eye Like a flash you could miss him going by No one knows quite how he does it but it's true they say He's the master of going faster. Now he moved into the space That the special people share Right on the edge of do or die Where there is nothing left to spare. Still the crowds came pouring in Some had hoped to see him fail Filling their hearts with jealousies Crazy people with love so frail. The people were intrigued His wife held back her fears The headlines gave acclaim He'd realized their dreams. Faster than a bullet from a gun He is faster than everyone Quicker than the blinking of an eye Like a flash you could miss him going by No one knows quite how he does it but it's true they say He's the master of going faster. No need to wonder why His wife held back her fears So few have even tried To realize their dreams. Faster than a bullet . . . (repeat chorus)

    Song: Dark Sweet Lady Duration: 3.22 Track No.: 7 Composer: Harrison Vocals: George Harrison Year: 1979
    Lyrics:
    My dark sweet lady You really got to me You gave me everything I've really fallen. You came and helped me through When I'd let go You came from out the blue Never have known what I'd done without you. My dark sweet lady Your heart so close to mine You shine so heavenly . . . and I love you dearly.

    Song: Your Love Is Forever Duration: 3.45 Track No.: 8 Composer: Harrison Vocals: George Harrison Year: 1979
    Lyrics:
    Sublime in the summertime, warm and lazy . . . These are perfect days like Heaven's about here, But unlike summer came and went - Your love is forever, I feel it and my heart knows That we share it together. Resigned to the wintertime's cold and dreary Peering into fire flames, burning I know That unlike winter came and went Your love is forever I feel it and my heart knows That we share it together I feel it and my heart knows you're the one The guiding light in all your love shines on The only lover worth it all Your love is forever.

    Song: Soft Touch Duration: 3.59 Track No.: 9 Composer: Harrison Vocals: George Harrison Year: 1979
    Lyrics:
    You're a soft touch baby Like a snowflake falling My whole heart is melting. As a warm son rises Into joy I'm sailing To your soft touch baby. Eyes that shine from depths of your soul Fixed by their charm, take my control Love so sweet as the ocean is wide Caught by your waves Drawn to your side. As a cool wind blows me All the treetops whisper To your soft touch baby. As a new moon rises Those ideas of heaven Fall in your soft touch baby. Eyes that shine from depths of your soul Fixed by their charm, take my control Love so sweet as the ocean is wide Caught by your waves Drawn to your side. You're a soft touch baby Like a snowflake falling My whole heart is melting. As a warm son rises Into joy I'm sailing To your soft touch baby.

    Song: If You Believe Duration: 2.55 Track No.: 10 Composer: Harrison Vocals: George Harrison Year: 1979
    Lyrics:
    You can worry your life away with Not knowing what each new day may bring to you Or take each day as it goes on Wake up to the love that flows on, around you. If you believe - if you believe in you Everything you thought is possible, if you believe . . . If you believe in me . . . All your love's reflected back to you When you believe. Too many troubles you can't control To get you falling into the holes they dig for you Get up - you have all your needs; Pray Give up - and it all recedes away from you. If you believe - if you believe in you Everything you thought is possible, if you believe . . . If you believe in me . . . All your love's reflected back to you When you believe.
