But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright

During his 1993 tour in Germany, Billy played and recorded a live version of The Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night." He often performed it with "River of Dreams" which makes sense because after a hard day's night (a Ringo malapropism) one might have a vivid dream. In addition, it was an homage to The Beatles who performed regularly in Hamburg, Germany in the early 1960s.

At the time, this was the third Beatles cover that Billy had released. The others were "I'll Cry Instead" from 1983 (the B-side to "An Innocent Man") and "Back In The U.S.S.R." in 1987 from Kohuept.

A Hard Day's Night                     <<              >>
(My Lives) (2005) (recorded 1993)
(Words and Music by J. Lennon & P. McCartney)

It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright

You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things
And it's worth it just to hear you say you're gonna give me everything
So why I love to come home, 'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel ok

When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah

It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright

So why I love to come home, 'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel ok

When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah

It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I feel alright
You know I feel alright...
