Eric Howard Carmen (born August 11, 1949) is an American singer, songwriter, guitarist and keyboardist.
He scored numerous hit songs across the 1970s and 1980s, first as a member of the Raspberries (who had a million-selling single with "Go All The Way"), and then with his solo career, including hits such as "All By Myself", "Never Gonna Fall in Love Again", "She Did It", "Hungry Eyes", and "Make Me Lose Control".

Biography[link]
Early life[link]
From a Jewish family,[1] Eric Carmen was born in Cleveland, Ohio and grew up in Lyndhurst, Ohio. He has been involved with music since early childhood. By the age of two, he was entertaining his parents, Ruth and Elmer Carmen, with impressions of Tony Bennett and Johnnie Ray. By age three, he was in the Dalcroze Eurhythmics program at the Cleveland Institute of Music. At six years old, he took violin lessons from Muriel Carmen (his aunt), then a violinist with the Cleveland Orchestra. By age 11, he was playing piano and dreaming about writing his own songs. The arrival of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones altered his dream slightly. By the time he was a sophomore at Charles F. Brush High School, Eric Carmen was playing piano and singing in rock 'n' roll bands.
Though classically trained in piano, Carmen became a self-taught guitarist. At 15, he started guitar lessons, but since the teacher's approach did not fit with what he wanted, he decided to teach himself. He bought a Beatles chord book and taught himself to play guitar for the next four months.
Tenure with Raspberries[link]
Carmen became serious about being a musician while attending John Carroll University. He joined a band named Cyrus Erie, which recorded several unsuccessful singles for Epic records. Cyrus Erie guitarist Wally Bryson had been playing with friends Jim Bonfanti and Dave Smalley in one of Cleveland's most popular bands, the Choir, which scored a minor national hit in 1967 with the single "It's Cold Outside".
When Cyrus Erie and the Choir collapsed at the end of the 1960s, Carmen, Bryson, Bonfanti and Smalley teamed up to form Raspberries, a rock and roll band who were among the chief exponents of the power pop style. Carmen was the lead singer of the group, and wrote or co-wrote all their hit songs. In 1975, after the breakup of Raspberries, he started his solo career, de-emphasizing harder rock elements in favor of soft rock and power ballads, which were already the hallmark of Carmen tracks on Raspberries albums.
In 2004, Carmen, along with original Raspberries members Jim Bonfanti, Wally Bryson, and Dave Smalley, re-formed the band for a series of sold-out live performances in cities across the United States. On that tour, the Raspberries recorded a live album of their hits at The House of Blues on Sunset Strip, in Hollywood, California. Both the show and album received critical acclaim.[2] Carmen himself has stated that he planned to write new harder-edged songs for the band to perform in the same vein as those that the Raspberries performed in the 1970s.
Solo career[link]
His first two solo singles were chart hits in 1976. Both were built around themes by Sergei Rachmaninoff. The first of these singles, "All By Myself" – based on Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 – hit number 2 in the United States, and number 12 in the United Kingdom where it was his only charting hit. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc by the R.I.A.A. in April 1976.[3] The follow-up single, "Never Gonna Fall in Love Again" – based on the main theme of the slow movement of Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 2 – reached number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100, and hit number one on the US Adult Contemporary Chart, as well as number one on the Cash Box chart. Two years after its 1975 release, this self-titled album was certified Gold in 1977 for sales of more than 500,000 copies. "That's Rock and Roll" was also a number 3 hit single for singer Shaun Cassidy.
Carmen's second album, "Boats Against the Current" came out in the summer of 1977 and received strong reviews. It featured such noted backup players as Burton Cummings, Andrew Gold, Bruce Johnston and Nigel Olsson. The album spent 13 weeks in the Billboard Album chart, peaking number 45. It also produced the Top 20 single "She Did It," but the title track only managed to scrape the bottom of the chart. The title track was later covered by Olivia Newton-John on her album Totally Hot. A third single taken from the album, "Marathon Man," became his first solo single not to hit the Billboard Hot 100 chart. However, Shaun Cassidy again made the Top 10 in 1978 with Carmen's "Hey Deanie." For several weeks in the fall of 1977, Carmen had three compositions charting concurrently on the Billboard Hot 100, Cassidy's two big hits and Carmen's own "She Did It."
Carmen followed up with two more albums. Despite declining chart fortunes, the single "Change of Heart" broke into the Pop Top 20 and reached number 6 at AC in late 1978, with this hit also being covered by Samantha Sang on her Emotion LP. But in 1980, after the release of the album "Tonight You're Mine" and single "It Hurts Too Much" (number 75 Billboard Top 100; number 3 South Africa, June 1980) he temporarily withdrew from the music industry. Four years later, after Mike Reno and Ann Wilson topped the charts (Pop number 7; Adult Contemporary number one) with the Carmen-penned ballad "Almost Paradise" (the love theme to the film Footloose), Eric resurfaced on Geffen Records in 1985 with a second self-titled album and a sizeable comeback hit "I Wanna Hear It From Your Lips". The single hit the Adult Contemporary Top 10 as well as the Pop Top 40. The follow-up single, "I'm Through with Love," also climbed the Billboard Hot 100 and reached the Top 20 of the Adult Contemporary chart. Another track from the album, "Maybe My Baby," later became a Country hit for Louise Mandrell.
Carmen's hit-making course surged again in the late 1980s. In 1987 his contribution to the mega-hit movie Dirty Dancing, "Hungry Eyes" hit number 2 Adult Contemporary and also returned him to the Pop Top 10. "Reason To Try", a further contribution to the "One Moment In Time" compilation album of songs recorded for the Seoul Summer Olympics, kept Carmen's profile high in 1988, during which the nostalgic "Make Me Lose Control" also returned him to the number one position on the Adult Contemporary chart – where it stayed for three straight weeks – as well as number 3 on Billboard's Hot 100. This became his highest charting song since "All By Myself", both along with "Hungry Eyes" having in the past two decades become classic pop radio favorites. Although Carmen did not follow his two hit singles with a new studio album in 1988, "Make Me Lose Control" was included on a then-new 'Best Of' collection from Arista.
The year 2000 saw the stateside release of I Was Born to Love You, which had been released in 1998 only in Japan as Winter Dreams. Carmen eschewed the use of a band on the recording, playing most of the instruments and programming the drum parts himself. The album did not find a large audience, but Carmen has continued to enjoy success placing songs with other artists over the years.
Personal life[link]
Carmen has taken a laid-back approach to music for most of the past decade, working only when the mood strikes him. He moved back to Northeast Ohio from Los Angeles a few years ago, supporting his wife, Susan, and their two children, Clayton and Kathryn, with songwriting and publishing royalties from his past hits.

Richard Wagstaff "Dick" Clark[2] (November 30, 1929 – April 18, 2012) was an American radio and television personality, best known for hosting American television's longest-running variety show, American Bandstand, from 1957 to 1987. He also hosted the game show Pyramid and Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, which transmitted Times Square's New Year's Eve celebrations worldwide.
As host of American Bandstand, with his strong communication skills, Clark was a "primary force in legitimizing rock and roll," not only to teenagers, but also to America's adult population. The show gave many new music artists their first exposure to national audiences, including Ike and Tina Turner, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Stevie Wonder, Talking Heads and Simon & Garfunkel. His shows were among the first where blacks and whites performed on the same stage and the live audience seating was desegregated. Singer Paul Anka claimed that Bandstand was responsible for creating a "youth culture." Due to his youthful appearance, Clark was often referred to as "America's oldest teenager".[3]
As a successful businessperson,[3] he served as chairman and chief executive officer of Dick Clark Productions, part of which he sold off in his later years. He also founded the American Bandstand Diner, a restaurant chain modeled after the Hard Rock Cafe. In 1973, he created and produced the annual American Music Awards show, similar to the Grammy Awards.
Clark suffered a massive stroke in December 2004.[4] With speech ability still impaired, Clark returned to his New Year's Rockin' Eve show on December 31, 2005/January 1, 2006. Subsequently, he appeared at the Emmy Awards on August 27, 2006, and every New Year's Rockin' Eve show through the 2011/2012 show. Clark died on April 18, 2012, after suffering a heart attack following a medical procedure.[5]

Early life[link]
Clark was born in Bronxville, New York, and was raised in nearby Mount Vernon,[6] the son of Julia Fuller (née Barnard) Clark and Richard Augustus Clark. His only sibling, older brother Bradley, was killed in World War II.
Clark attended A.B. Davis High School (later renamed A.B. Davis Middle School) in Mount Vernon, where he was an average student.[7] At age 10, Clark decided to pursue a career in radio.[7] In pursuit of that goal, he attended Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York, graduating in 1951 with a degree in advertising and a minor in radio.[7] While at Syracuse, he was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity (Phi Gamma).[8]
Radio and television career[link]
In 1945, Clark began his career working in the mailroom at WRUN, an AM radio station in Rome, New York, that was owned by his uncle and managed by his father. Almost immediately, he was asked to fill in for the vacationing weatherman, and within a few months he was announcing station breaks.[7]
While attending Syracuse, Clark worked at WOLF-AM, then a country music station. After graduation, he returned to WRUN for a short time where he went by the name Dick Clay.[7] After that, Clark got a job at the television station WKTV in Utica, New York.[7] His first television-hosting job was on Cactus Dick and the Santa Fe Riders, a country-music program. He would later replace Robert Earle (who would later host the GE College Bowl) as a newscaster.[9]
Clark was principal in pro broadcasters operator of 1440 KPRO in Riverside, California, from 1962 to 1982. In the 1960s, he was owner of KGUD AM/FM (later KTYD AM/FM) in Santa Barbara, California.[citation needed]
[edit] American Bandstand
Main article: American Bandstand
In 1952, Clark moved to Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia, where he took a job as a disc jockey at radio station WFIL, adopting the Dick Clark handle.[10] WFIL had an affiliated television station (now WPVI) with the same call sign which began broadcasting a show called Bob Horn's Bandstand in 1952. Clark was responsible for a similar program on the company's radio station, and served as a regular substitute host when Horn went on vacation.[7] In 1956, Horn was arrested for drunk driving and subsequently dismissed.[7] On July 9, 1956, Clark became the show's permanent host.[7]
Bandstand was picked up by the ABC television network, renamed American Bandstand, and debuted nationally on August 5, 1957 with a Clark interview of Elvis Presley.[11] The show took off, due both to Clark's natural rapport with the live teenage audience and dancing participants and the non-threatening image he projected to television audiences, including many parents being introduced to rock and roll music. According to Hollywood producer Michael Uslan, "he was able to use his unparalleled communication skills to present rock 'n roll in a way that was palatable to parents."[12]
In 1958, the show was added to ABC's Saturday night line up.[7] By the end of year, viewership exceeded 20 million, and featured artists were "virtually guaranteed" large sales boosts after appearing.[7] In a surprise television tribute to Clark in 1959 on This Is Your Life, host Ralph Edwards called him "America’s youngest starmaker," and estimated the show had an audience of 50 million.
Clark moved the show from Philadelphia to Los Angeles in 1964.[7] The move was related to the popularity of new "surf" groups based in Southern California, including The Beach Boys and Jan and Dean. The show ran daily Monday through Friday until 1963, then weekly on Saturdays until 1987. Bandstand was briefly revived in 1989, with Clark again serving as host. By the time of its cancellation, the show had become longest running variety show in TV history.[7]
In the 1960s, the show's emphasis changed from merely playing records to including live performers. During this period, many of the leading rock groups of the 1960s had their first exposure to nationwide audiences. A few of the many artists introduced were Ike and Tina Turner, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Stevie Wonder, the Talking Heads, Simon and Garfunkel, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash, Sam Cooke, Fats Domino and Chubby Checker.[13][14]
During an interview with Clark by Henry Schipper of Rolling Stone magazine in 1990, it was noted that "over two-thirds of the people who've been initiated into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame had their television debuts on American Bandstand, and the rest of them probably debuted on other shows [they] produced."[15] During the show's lifetime, it featured over 10,000 live performances, many by artists who would have been unable to appear anywhere else on TV, as the variety shows during much of this period were "antirock."[15] Schipper points out that Clark's performers were shocking to general audiences:
The music establishment, and the adults in general, really hated rock and roll. Politicians, ministers, older songwriters and musicians foamed at the mouth. Frank Sinatra reportedly called Elvis Presley a "rancid-smelling aphrodisiac.[15]
Clark was therefore considered to have a negative influence on youth, and was well aware of that impression held by most adults:
I was roundly criticized for being in and around rock and roll music at its inception. It was the devil's music, it would make your teeth fall out and your hair turn blue, whatever the hell. You get through that.[16]
In 2002, many of the groups he introduced appeared at the 50th anniversary special to celebrate American Bandstand.[17] Clark noted during the special that American Bandstand was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as "the longest running variety show in TV history." In 2010, American Bandstand and Clark himself were honored at the Daytime Emmy Awards.[18] Hank Ballard, who wrote "The Twist," described Clark's popularity during the early years of American Bandstand:
The man was big. He was the biggest thing in America at that time. He was bigger than the president![19]
As a result of Clark's work on Bandstand, journalist Ann Oldenburg states "he deserves credit for doing something bigger than just putting on a show."[19] Los Angeles Times writer, Geoff Boucher, goes further, stating that "with the exception of Elvis Presley, Clark was considered by many to be the person most responsible for the bonfire spread of rock 'n roll across the country in the late 1950s," making Clark a "household name."[12] He became a "primary force in legitimizing rock 'n' roll," adds Uslan. Clark, however, simplified his contribution:
I played records, the kids danced, and America watched.[20]
Shortly after taking over, Clark also ended the show's all-white policy by featuring black artists such as Chuck Berry. In time blacks and whites performed on the same stage and studio seating was desegregated.[13] During the late 1950s and 1960s, Clark produced and hosted a series of concert tours around the success of American Bandstand, which by 1959 had a national audience of 20 million.[19] However, Clark was unable to get the Beatles to appear when they came to America.[12]
The reason for Clark's impact on popular culture was partly explained by Paul Anka, a singer who appeared on the show early in his career: "This was a time when there was no youth culture — he created it. And the impact of the show on people was enormous."[21] In 1990, a few years after the show had been off the air, Clark considered his personal contribution to the music he helped introduce:
My talent is bringing out the best in other talent, organizing people to showcase them and being able to survive the ordeal. I hope someday that somebody will say that in the beginning stages of the birth of the music of the Fifties, though I didn't contribute in terms of creativity, I helped keep it alive.[15]
Payola hearings[link]
In 1960, the United States Senate investigated payola, the practice of music-producing companies paying broadcasting companies to favor their product. As a result of Clark's personal investments in music publishing and recording companies, his investments were considered a conflict of interest, and he sold his shares in those companies.[22] Clark denied any involvement in "payola" and was not charged with any illegal activities.
When asked about some of the causes for the hearings, Clark speculated about some of the contributing factors not mentioned by the press:
Politicians . . . did their damnedest to respond to the pressures they were getting from parents and publishing companies and people who were being driven out of business [by rock]. . . . It hit a responsive chord with the electorate, the older people. . . . they full-out hated the music. [But] it stayed alive. It could've been nipped in the bud, because they could've stopped it from being on television and radio.[15]
Game show host[link]
Main article: Pyramid (game show)
In 1963, Clark branched out into hosting game shows, presiding over The Object Is.[23] The show was cancelled in 1964, and replaced by Missing Links, which had moved from NBC. Clark took over as host, replacing Ed McMahon.[23]
Clark became the first host of The $10,000 Pyramid, which premiered on CBS March 26, 1973.[24] The show — a word association game created and produced by daytime television producer Bob Stewart — moved to ABC in 1974. Over the coming years, the top prize changed several times (and with it the name of the show), and several prime time spin-offs were created.[24] Clark continued to host the day time version through most of its history, winning three Emmy Awards for best game show host.[25] In total, Pyramid won nine Emmy Awards for best game show during his run, a mark that is eclipsed only by the twelve won by the syndicated version of Jeopardy!.[26] Clark retired from the program in 1988.
Clark subsequently returned to Pyramid as a guest in later incarnations. During the premiere of the John Davidson version in 1991, Clark sent a pre-recorded message wishing Davidson well in hosting the show. In 2002, Clark played as a celebrity guest for three days on the Donny Osmond version. Earlier, he was also a guest during the Bill Cullen version of The $25,000 Pyramid which aired simultaneously with Clark's daytime version of the show.
Entertainment Weekly credited Clark's "quietly commanding presence" as a major factor in the game show's success.[24]
In 1990 and 1991, he hosted the syndicated television game show The Challengers, which only lasted for one season. In 1993, he hosted Scattergories. In 1999, along with Bob Boden, he was one of the executive producers of Fox's TV game show Greed, which ran from November 5, 1999, to July 14, 2000, and was hosted by Chuck Woolery. At the same time, Clark also hosted the Stone-Stanley-created Winning Lines, which ran for six weeks on CBS from January 8, 2000 – February 12, 2000.
[edit] Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve
Main article: Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest
In 1972, Clark produced and hosted Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, the first of an ongoing series of specials still broadcast on New Year's Eve.[27] The program has typically consisted of live remotes of Clark in Times Square in New York City, counting down until the New Year ball comes down. After the ball drops, the focus of the program switches to musical segments taped prior to the show in Hollywood, California. The special is live in the Eastern Time Zone, and it is delayed for the other time zones so that those segments of the audience could ring in the New Year with Clark and can continue to with subsequent hosts when midnight strikes in their area.
ABC has broadcast the event on every New Year's Eve since 1972 except in 1999 when it was preempted for ABC 2000 Today, news coverage of the milestone year hosted by Peter Jennings. However, during that broadcast, Clark, along with ABC News correspondent Jack Ford, announced his signature countdown to the new year. He was a correspondent, according to the transcript of the broadcast released by ABC News.[28] Ford had been assigned to Times Square during the broadcast, and thus, Clark's role was limited. Nevertheless, he won a Peabody Award for his coverage.
Clark was unable to host the 2004/05 edition of the show, as he was recovering from his stroke; Regis Philbin substituted as host.[26] Having not been seen in public since his stroke, Clark announced in an August 2005 statement that he would be back in Times Square for the annual tradition, bringing on Hilary Duff and Ryan Seacrest as co-hosts. In the same press release, it was announced that Seacrest would eventually take over as the sole host should Clark decide to retire, or be unable to continue. As planned, Clark returned to the show for the 2005/06 countdown, although Ryan Seacrest served as primary host.[26] On air, he stated, "Last year I had a stroke. It left me in bad shape. I had to teach myself how to walk and talk again. It's been a long, hard fight. My speech is not perfect but I'm getting there." Before counting down to 2006, he mentioned he "wouldn't have missed this for the world."
Reaction to Clark's appearance was mixed. While some TV critics (including Tom Shales of The Washington Post, in an interview with the CBS Radio Network) felt he was not in good enough shape to do the broadcast, stroke survivors and many of Clark's fans praised him for being a role model for people dealing with post-stroke recovery.[29]
From 2005 to 2011, Clark co-hosted New Year's Rockin Eve with Seacrest. In the four decades it has been on the air, the show has become a mainstay in U.S. New Year's Eve celebrations. Watching the ball in Times Square drop on Clark's show was considered an annual cultural tradition for the New Year's holiday for the last decades of his life.[26]
Radio programs[link]
Clark also had a long stint as a top-40 radio countdown show host. He began in 1963, hosting a radio program called The Dick Clark Radio Show. It was produced by Mars Broadcasting of Stamford. Despite his enormous popularity on American Bandstand, the show was only picked up by a few dozen stations and lasted less than a year.[30]
On March 25, 1972, Clark hosted American Top 40, filling in for Casey Kasem.[31] In 1981, he created The Dick Clark National Music Survey for the Mutual Broadcasting System.[25] The program counted down the Top 30 contemporary hits of the week in direct competition with American Top 40. Clark left Mutual in 1986, and Charlie Tuna took over the National Music Survey.[25] Clark then launched his own radio syndication group; the United Stations Radio Network, or Unistar, and took over the countdown program, "Countdown America". It ran until 1994, when Clark sold Unistar to Westwood One Radio. The following year, Clark started over, building a new version of the USRN and a new countdown show: "The U.S. Music Survey". He served as its host until his 2004 stroke.[25]
Dick Clark's longest running radio show began on February 14, 1982. "Rock, Roll & Remember" was a four hour oldies show named after Clark's 1976 autobiography. The first year, it was hosted by veteran Los Angeles disc jockey Gene Weed. Then in 1983 voice over talent Mark Elliot co-hosted with Clark. By 1985, Clark hosted the entire show. Pam Miller served as producer. Each week, Clark would profile a different artist from the Rock and Roll era. He would also count down the top four songs that week from a certain year in the 1950s, 1960s or early 1970s. The show ended production when Clark suffered his 2004 stroke. However, re-runs continue to air in syndication and on Clark's website "dickclarkonline.com".[25]
Beginning in 2009, Clark merged elements of "Rock, Roll and Remember" with the syndicated oldies show, "Rewind with Gary Bryan". The new show was called "Dick Clark Presents Rewind with Gary Bryan". Bryan, a Los Angeles radio personality, serves as the main host. Clark contributed profile segments.
Other television programs[link]
At the peak of his American Bandstand fame, Clark also hosted a 30-minute Saturday night program called The Dick Clark Show (aka The Dick Clark Saturday Night Beech-Nut Show). It aired from February 15, 1958, until September 10, 1960, on the ABC television network. It was broadcast live from the "Little Theater" in New York City and was sponsored by Beech-Nut Gum. It featured the rock and roll stars of the day lip synching their hits, just as on American Bandstand. However, unlike the afternoon Bandstand program which focused on the dance floor with the teenage audience demonstrating the latest dance steps, the audience of The Dick Clark Show (consisting mostly of squealing girls) sat in a traditional theater setting. While some of the musical numbers were presented simply, others were major production numbers. The high point of the show was the unveiling with great fanfare at the end of each program, by Clark, of the top ten records of the coming week.[32]
From September 27 to December 20, 1959, Clark hosted a thirty-minute weekly talent/variety series entitled Dick Clark's World of Talent at 10:30 p.m. on Sunday nights on ABC. A variation of producer Irving Mansfield's earlier CBS series, This Is Show Business (1949–1956), it featured three celebrity panelists, including comedian Jack E. Leonard, judging and offering advice to amateur and semi-professional performers. While this show was not a success, during its nearly three month duration, Clark was one of the few personalities in television history on the air nationwide seven days a week.[32]
One of Clark's most well-known guest appearances was in the final episode of the original Perry Mason TV series ("The Case of the Final Fadeout") in which he was revealed to be the killer in a dramatic courtroom scene.[33][verification needed]
Clark attempted to branch into the realm of soul music with the series Soul Unlimited in 1973. The series, hosted by Buster Jones, was a more risqué and controversial imitator of the then-popular series Soul Train and alternated in the Bandstand time slot. The series lasted for only a few episodes.[34] Despite a feud between Clark and Soul Train creator and host Don Cornelius, the two would later collaborate on several specials featuring black artists. Clark hosted the short-lived Dick Clark's LIVE Wednesday in 1978.[35]
In 1984, Clark produced and co-hosted with Ed McMahon the NBC series TV's Bloopers & Practical Jokes. The series ran through 1988 and continued in specials hosted by Clark (sometimes joined by another TV personality) into the 21st century, first on NBC, later on ABC, and currently on TBS (the last version re-edited into 15-minute/filler segments airing at about 5 A.M.). Clark and McMahon were longtime Philadelphia acquaintances, and McMahon praised Clark for first bringing him together with future TV partner Johnny Carson when all three worked at ABC in the late 1950s. The "Bloopers" franchise stems from the Clark-hosted (and produced) NBC "Bloopers" specials of the early 1980s, inspired by the books, record albums and appearances of Kermit Schafer, a radio and TV producer who first popularized outtakes of broadcasts.[33] For a period of several years in the 1980s, Clark simultaneously hosted regular programs on the 3 major American television networks: ABC (Bandstand), CBS (Pyramid) and NBC (Bloopers).
In July 1985, Clark hosted the ABC prime time portion of the historic Live Aid concert, an all star concert designed by Bob Geldof to end world hunger.[36]
Clark also hosted various pageants from 1988 to 1993 including Miss USA and Miss Universe.
Clark did a brief stint as announcer on The Jon Stewart Show, in 1995.[37]
From 2001 to 2003, Clark was a co-host of The Other Half with Mario Lopez, Danny Bonaduce and Dorian Gregory, a syndicated daytime talk show intended to be the male equivalent of The View. Clark also produced the television series American Dreams about a Philadelphia family in the early 1960s whose daughter is a regular on American Bandstand. The series ran from 2002 to 2005.[33]
Other media appearances[link]
Clark was featured in the 2002 documentary film Bowling for Columbine. He was criticized for hiring poor, unwed mothers to work long hours in his chain of restaurants for little pay. The mother featured is shown to work over 80 hours per week and is still unable to make her rent and then gets evicted which results in her having to have her son stay at his uncle's house. At his uncle's house the boy finds a gun and brings it to school where he shoots another first grader. In the documentary footage featuring Clark, Michael Moore tries to approach him to inform him of the welfare policies that allow for these conditions, and questions him about the people he employs and the tax breaks he takes advantage of, in employing welfare recipients; Clark refuses to answer any of Moore's questions, shutting the car door and driving away.[38]
Clark also appeared in interview segments of another 2002 film, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, which was based on the "unauthorized autobiography" of Chuck Barris. (Barris had worked at ABC as a standards-and-practices executive during American Bandstand's run on that network.)[39]
In the 2002 Dharma and Greg episode "Mission: Implausible," Greg is the victim of a college prank, and devises an elaborate plan to retaliate, part of which involves his use of a disguise kit; the first disguise chosen is that of Dick Clark. During a fantasy sequence that portrays the unfolding of the plan, the real Clark plays Greg wearing his disguise.[40]
He also made brief cameos in two episodes of the The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. In one episode he plays himself at a Philadelphia diner, and in the other he helps Will Smith's character host bloopers from past episodes of that sitcom.[41]
Post stroke[link]
On August 27, 2006, Clark appeared on NBC's telecast of the 2006 Emmy Awards. He was introduced by Simon Cowell after the show paid tribute to his successful career that has spanned decades. He was shown seated behind a lectern, and although his speech was still slurred, he was able to address the audience and introduce Barry Manilow's performance.
Clark was honored at the 37th Daytime Emmy Awards on CBS TV. It was a tribute to his 40 years hosting American Bandstand.

Dick Clark's AB Grill in Branson, Missouri (November 2007).
In 1965, Clark branched out from hosting, producing Where The Action Is, a variety show hosted by Paul Revere and the Raiders.[7] In 1973, he produced the American Music Awards Show.[7] In 1987, Dick Clark Productions went public.[7] Clark, remained active in television and movie production into the 1990s.[7]
Clark had a stake in a chain of music-themed restaurants licensed under the names "Dick Clark's American Bandstand Grill", "Dick Clark's AB Grill", "Dick Clark's Bandstand — Food, Spirits & Fun" and "Dick Clark's AB Diner". There are currently three airport locations in Newark, New Jersey; Phoenix, Arizona; and Salt Lake City, Utah, one location in the Molly Pitcher travel plaza on the New Jersey Turnpike in Cranbury, New Jersey, and one location at "Dick Clark's American Bandstand Theater" in Branson, Missouri.[42]
"Dick Clark's American Bandstand Theater" opened in Branson in April 2006,[43] and nine months later, a new theater and restaurant entitled "Dick Clark's American Bandstand Music Complex" opened near Dolly Parton's Dollywood theme park in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.[44]
In popular culture[link]
Before his stroke, Clark's perennial youthful appearance, despite his advancing years, was a subject of jokes and commentary in the popular culture, most notably his nickname of "the World's Oldest Teenager". One of Gary Larson's The Far Side cartoons has the caption, "Suddenly, on a national talk show in front of millions of viewers, Dick Clark ages 200 years in 30 seconds." In the Police Squad! episode "Testimony of Evil (Dead Men Don't Laugh)," Dick Clark, appearing as himself, purchases Secret Formula Youth Cream from street snitch Johnny the Shoeshine Boy.[45] In The Simpsons 1999 Y2K episode "Treehouse of Horror X," at midnight a computer glitch causes Dick Clark to melt and he is revealed to be a robot. In a stand-up comedy routine, Bill Hicks referenced Clark as the "anti-Christ," pointing to his unusually youthful appearance as evidence.[46]

Clark was married three times. His first marriage was to Barbara Mallery in 1952; the couple had one son, Richard ("R.A.", or "Rac"), and divorced in 1961. He married Loretta Martin in 1962; the couple had two children, Duane and Cindy, and divorced in 1971. His third marriage, in 1977 to Kari Wigton, lasted until his death.[47]
Stroke[link]
During an interview on Larry King Live in April 2004, Clark revealed that he had Type 2 diabetes.[48]
On December 8 2004, the then 75-year-old was hospitalized in Los Angeles after suffering what was initially termed a minor stroke. Clark's spokeswoman, Amy Streibel, said that he was hospitalized but was expected to be fine. However, on December 13, 2004, it was announced that Clark would be unable to host his annual New Year's Rockin' Eve broadcast.[49] Clark returned to the series the following year, but the dysarthria that resulted from the stroke rendered him unable to speak clearly for the remainder of his life.
Death[link]
On April 18, 2012, Clark died after suffering a heart attack following surgery to fix an enlarged prostate, a transurethral resection of the prostate,[50] at Saint John's Health Center and the Pacific Urology Institute in Santa Monica, California.[5][12] Clark's family did not immediately decide on whether there would be a public memorial service, but stated "there will be no funeral".[31] Clark was cremated on April 20, and his ashes were scattered in the Pacific Ocean.[51]
Following Clark's death, U.S. President Barack Obama praised Clark's career: "With American Bandstand, he introduced decades' worth of viewers to the music of our times. He reshaped the television landscape forever as a creative and innovative producer. And, of course, for 40 years, we welcomed him into our homes to ring in the New Year."[52]
Motown founder Berry Gordy and singer Diana Ross spoke of Clark's impact on the recording industry: "Dick was always there for me and Motown, even before there was a Motown. He was an entrepreneur, a visionary and a major force in changing pop culture and ultimately influencing integration," Gordy said. "I will always appreciate what he did for me and for popular music. He presented Motown and the Supremes on tour with the "Caravan of Stars" and on American Bandstand, where I got my start. Dick Clark was a pioneer, he was a music star maker, he was a legend and was my friend," Ross said.[52]
Ryan Seacrest, who began hosting New Year's Rockin' Eve after Clark suffered a stroke, paid tribute to Clark on American Idol,[53][54] which, along with Game Show Network, broadcast tributes to Clark during the week of April 22-28.[dated info][55]

When I see the way she looks at him
Hurts so bad you know it's such a sin
To see her love him while I just walk on by
But nobody knows what it does to me
Nobody knows, no one could ever see
Nobody knows what it does to me
Now those tender looks upon her face
Are meant for someone else whose in my place
And he's her lover, the way I used to be
But nobody knows what it does to me
Nobody knows, no one could ever see
Nobody knows what it does to me
I can see her dancing with someone else
Holding him so close while I'm by myself
I just want to hit him but that won't do
All I know is I've got to find some way, I can get to you
When I see the way she holds his hand
Burns inside me I can't understand
How could she love him the way she once loved me
But nobody knows what it does to me
Nobody knows, no one could ever see
Nobody knows what it does to me
But nobody knows what it does to me
Nobody knows, no one could ever see
Nobody knows what it does to me
No use pretending things can still be right
There's really nothing more to say
I'll get along without your kiss goodnight
Just close the door and walk away
Never gonna fall in love again
I don't wanna start with someone new
Cause I couldn't bear to see it end
Just like me and you
No I never wanna feel the pain
Of rememberin' how it used to be
Never gonna fall in love again
Just like you and me
At first we thought that love was here to stay
The summer made it seem so right
But like the sun we watched it fade away
From morning into lonely night
Never gonna all in love again
I don't wanna start with someone new
Cause I couldn't bear to see it end
Just like me and you
No I never wanna feel the pain
Of rememberin' how it used to be
Never gonna fall in love again
Twenty years with my brain in a book
Tryin' to find out who I am
Endless nights and Olympian dreams
Of a race I never ran
Someone's callin' my name
It's the crowd in the stands
Don't know how I became
What I suddenly am
Marathon man, keep a runnin'
Marathon man, keep a runnin'
I've been searchin' so long
But the answer is finally at hand
I'm a marathon man
Wind is gone and my head's in a haze
But I must keep up the pace
Got to think about strategy here
If I hope to win the race
Someone's callin' my name
It's the crowd in the stands
Concentrate on the pain
Put my soul in command
Marathon man, keep a runnin'
Marathon man, keep a runnin'
I've been searchin' so long
But the answer is finally at hand
I'm a marathon man
Wasting my youth
Chasing dreams, testing truth
Taking turns being deceived
And deceivin'
Bound with a rope
Made of heroes and hope
Till I found nothin' left
To believe in
Marathon man, keep a runnin'
Marathon man, keep a runnin'
I've been searchin' so long
But the answer is finally at hand
(Brian Wilson/Tony Asher)
Where did your long hair go
Where is the girl I used to know
How could you lose that happy glow
Oh, Caroline no
Who took that look away
I remember how you used to say
You'd never change, but that's not true
Oh, Caroline you
Break my heart
I want to go and cry
It's so sad to watch a sweet thing die
Oh, Caroline why
Could I ever find in you again
Things that made me love you so much then
Could we ever bring 'em back once they have gone
(Eric Carmen/Andy Goldmark)
Are the stars just shining brighter?
Is that perfume in the air?
Seems the moon has got control of me
And I don't really care
With our bodies gently swaying
To the rhythm of the night
Has there ever been a place or time
That ever felt so right
Oh, I've dreamed about this moment
Ever since I saw your face
Now I never wanna let it slip away
Isn't it romantic
How our kisses seem to set the night on fire?
Baby, when I look at you it takes my breath away
Isn't it romantic
when we close our eyes and hold each other tight?
If only love could always be this way
There's a samba playing somewhere
Or is it just my beating heart?
I can swear I hear the strumming of
A classical guitar
Playing softly while you whisper
All the words I've longed to hear
As I pull your body close to mine
The world just disappears
Oh, I dreamed about this moment
Ever since I saw your face
Now I never wanna let it slip away
Isn't it romantic
How our kisses seem to set the night on fire?
Baby, when I look at you it takes my breath away
Isn't it romantic
when we close our eyes and hold each other tight?
If only love could always be this way
Isn't it romantic
How our kisses seem to set the night on fire?
Baby, when I look at you it takes my breath away
Isn't it romantic
when we close our eyes and hold each other tight?
If only love could always be this way
Isn't it romantic
How our kisses seem to set the night on fire?
Baby, when I look at you it takes my breath away
Isn't it romantic
when we close our eyes and hold each other tight?
(Eric Carmen/Andy Goldmark)
I never really understood love
No, not until I saw your face
Then I knew what I'd been missing
For all my life
I never let myself believe it
No, not till I looked into your eyes
Then I knew I found all I need
The moment that I found you
I was born to love you
Born to be right here by your side
Through all your darkest nights
I was born to love you
I'd do anything to make you mine
Until the end of time
There's no need to ever doubt it
You set my love free when you walked in the door
You changed everything
You're all that I'm living for
I was born to love you
Born to be right here by your side
Through all your darkest nights
I was born to love you
I'd do anything to make you mine
Until the end of time
You changed everything
You're all that I'm living for
I was born to love you
Born to be right here by your side
Through all your darkest nights
I was born to love you
I'd do anything to make you mine
Until the end of time
I was born to love you
Born to be right here by your side
Through all your darkest nights
I was born to love you
I'd do anything to make you mine
Until the end of time
(Eric Carmen/Dean Pitchford)
Feel your breath
On my shoulder
And I know we couldn't get any closer
I don't wanna act up
I just wanna make love
As we move
Into the night
I get crazy
Thinking how it's gonna be with you baby
I don't wanna play rough
I've been giving you enough
Whoa baby, baby, baby
I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you all the love that I've got
You know, I wanna take forever tonight
Fill you up, fill you up with my love
When we close the door
All I need is in your eyes
Whoa, whoa
I wanna take forever tonight
Touch my lips
I'm on fire
You're the only one I'll ever desire
Turn the lights down low
Make the world go slow
When I'm holding you
Tonight
It's so easy
Nothing moves me like you do when you tease me
And to rush would be a crime
I just wanna stop time
With you baby, baby
I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you all the love that I've got
You know, I wanna take forever tonight
Fill you up, fill you up with my love
When we close the door
All I need is in your eyes
Whoa,whoa
I wanna take forever
And when I lay beside you
I wanna see what drives you out of your mind
Ooh, baby
I wanna tantalize you
Take all of my time with you
Whoa baby, baby, baby
I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you all the love that I've got
You know, I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I wanna take forever tonight
Fill you up, fill you up with my love
Give you all the love that I've got
Oh, I wanna take forever tonight
Gonna stay in this moment forever
I wanna take forever tonight
Fill you up, fill you up with my love
Give you all the love that I've got

I never quite know what to do
When I'm with you
(When I'm with you)
I'm never really sure if I'm doin' things right
I never know the words to say
The games to play,
But that's okay
I bet that I could get you through the night
Oh, I could really love you
I swear (I swear)
It's true (It's true)
There isn't much I'm certain of
But this much I can do
Oh, I could really love you
I know there's lots of other men
Who talk of love
(They'll talk of love)
They'll sweep you off your feet with the way they live
After all those champagne highs
And quick goodbyes
You'll realize there's something more
That only I could give
Oh, I could really love you
I swear (I swear)
It's true (It's true)
There isn't much I'm certain of
But this much I can do
Oh, I could really love you
And even though you're waiting for your perfect love
You don't have to wait around no more
I could really love you
I swear (I swear)
It's true (It's true)
There isn't much I'm certain of
But this much I can do
Oh, I could really love you

There isn't much I'm certain of

Oh, I could really love you

I swear (I swear)
It's true (It's true)
There isn't much I'm certain of

When this world gets a little crazy
There's a place here just for you
Come around and I'll be waiting
Baby, I'll chase away your blues
'Cause no one else compares with you baby
No one makes me feel like you do
I wanna hear you whisper my name
Everytime I make love to you
Feels like the first time
Whoa-oh baby, from the very first touch
I need you, I need you, I want you so bad
It's all that my heart understands
Everytime I make love to you
Feels like the first kiss
Whoa-oh baby, never felt like this
No one could love me the way that you do
Everytime we make love
Let me kiss you soft and tender
Feel your heart beat next to mine
In your arms, baby, I surrender
I want to be with you all the time
'Cause no one else compares with you baby
No one makes me feel like you do
Everytime
Everytime I make love to you
Feels like the first time
Whoa-oh baby, from the very first touch
I need you, I need you, I want you so bad
That's all that my heart understands
Everytime I make love to you
Feels like the first kiss
Whoa-oh baby, it never felt like this
'Cause no one could love me the way that you do
Everytime we make love
Ooh baby, now my heart's on fire
I only want to show you my desire
And I'll do anything you want me to do
If you tell me your secrets
And show me your dreams
I'm the one who could make then come true
Everytime
Everytime I make love to you
Feels like the first time
Whoa-oh baby, from the very first touch
I need you, I need you, I want you so bad
It's all that my heart understands
Everytime I make love to you
Feels like the first kiss
Whoa-oh baby, it never felt like this
No one could love me the way that you do
No one could love me the way that you do
Baby, No one could love me the way that you do
Everytime we make love
Baby now my hearts on fire
I wanna show you my desire
Everytime we make love
Baby now my hearts on fire
I wanna show you my desire
Everytime we make love
Baby now my hearts on fire
I wanna show you my desire
Everytime we make love
Baby now my hearts on fire
I wanna show you my desire

I like the colors
I like the way they move
They're all so brilliantly realized
They just could not be improved
I love the way the sex is so overt
I love the way the violence doesn't hurt
It's a cartoon world
It's exactly as it seems
And it's bigger than life
And better than all your dreams
It's a cartoon world
It's a safer place to be
And it's better than real
A perfect facsimile
It's a cartoon world
I like the things their saying
I like the way they're said
I like to change the channels
While I'm lying in my bed
From the commercial to the anchorman
They've done research on my attention span
It's a cartoon world
It's exactly as it seems
And it's smaller than life
And better than all your dreams
It's a cartoon world
It's a safer place to be
And it's better than real
And bigger than you and me
And the stars are brighter
They've got more charisma
And more style than you and me
I watch the news on TV
It doesn't mean a thing to me
What's a little ethnic cleansing?
That's the way it's always been
I was excited when the war began
Now I've got Gameboy, I'm a happy man
It's a cartoon world
It's exactly as it seems
And it's bigger than life
And better than all your dreams
It's a cartoon world
It's a safer place to be
And it's better than real
A perfect facsimile
It's a cartoon world
It's a cartoon world
It's a cartoon world
It's a cartoon world
It's a cartoon world
I thought that dreams belonged to other men
'Cause each time I got close
They'd fall apart again
I feared my heart would beat in secrecy
I faced the nights alone
Oh, how could I have known
That all my life I only needed you?
Oh
Almost paradise
We're knockin' on heaven's door
Almost paradise
How could we ask for more?
I swear that I can see forever in your eyes
Paradise
It seems like perfect love's so hard to find
I'd almost given up
You must have read my mind
And all these dreams I saved for a rainy day
They're finally coming true
I'll share them all with you
'Cause now we hold the future in our hand
Oh
Almost paradise
We're knockin' on heaven's door
Almost paradise
How could we ask for more?
I swear that I can see forever in your eyes
Paradise
And in your arms salvation's not so far away
It's getting closer
Closer every day
Almost paradise
We're knockin' on heaven's door
Almost paradise
How could we ask for more?
I swear that I can see forever in your eyes
Paradise
Paradise
Paradise

Don't wanna hear no more about the P.L.O.
Or the A.F.L. and the C.I.O.
Not the F.B.I. or the A.S.P.C.A.
You know I've had my fill of capitol hill
And the OPEC prices and the oil spills
I've had enough bad news to last me a year today
And I feel I'm lost in the shuffle
And I'm not gonna take it
I feel lost in the shuffle
And I'm not gonna take it no more
Oh no
No, no, no
Lost in the shuffle
Lost in the shuffle
Well I've got no time for the rise in crime
And plutonium leaks and mile-long lines
Of cars backed up just tryin' to buy some gasoline
Well I'm up to here with the cancerous rats
And the test tube babies and bureaucrats
Looks like the whole damn world's
Just comin' apart at the seams
And I feel I'm lost in the shuffle
And I'm not gonna take it
I feel lost in the shuffle
And I'm not gonna take it no more
Oh no
No, no, no
Lost in the shuffle
Lost in the shuffle
You know you pay your taxes and you work all day
But you better watch out for the C.I.A.
'Cause they're putting together a dossier on you
And now I'm glad I'm livin' in the land of the free
Where I can speak my mind if I don't agree
But it seems like it really doesn't matter
What I say or do
'Cause I feel I'm lost in the shuffle
And I'm not gonna take it
And I feel lost in the shuffle
And I'm not gonna take it no more
Oh no
No, no, no
Lost in the shuffle
Lost in the shuffle
(Eric Carmen)
Seems so crazy, but I guess it's true
Girl, you've really got a hold on me
Well I've been hurt before
So now I must be sure
Are you feelin' it too
Maybe this time it's true
Or am I foolin' myself
Once again
I've got to know for sure
That I'm not foolin' myself
Once again
'Cause I couldn't stand the pain
Findin' out it really wasn't true
I was foolin' myself
Into lovin' you
If you're still in love with someone else
Girl, you know it's gonna break my heart
But I just can't let go
So now I've got to know
Is it love that you feel
Maybe this time it's real
Or am I foolin' myself
Once again
I've got to know for sure
That I'm not foolin' myself
Once again
'Cause I couldn't stand the pain
Findin' out it really wasn't true
I was foolin' myself
Into lovin' you
Am I foolin' myself
Once again
I've got to know for sure
That I'm not foolin' myself
Once again
'Cause I couldn't stand the pain
Findin' out it really wasn't true
I was foolin' myself
Into lovin' you
Oh, I've got to know for sure
That I'm not foolin' myself
Once again
Oh, I've got to know for sure
That I'm not foolin' myself
(eric carmen)
Used to feel so fuckin' optimistic
Till she said goodbye
Never thought a love like ours would die
Told myself I'd never love another
All I want is friends
But when we met I felt it all again
Though I am starting over under cloudy skies
I say hello to love
I'm seeing through different eyes
And if I had the chance to make one wish
And know it would come true
I'd start all over with you
Every evening I would watch the sunset
End another day
Let the nighttime wash my blues away
Buried my romantic inclination
Deep inside of me
Till I fell for you immoderately
Though I am starting over under cloudy skies
I say hello to love
I'm seeing through different eyes
And if I had the chance to make one wish
And know it would come true
I'd start all over with you
I remember all the good times
And the bad times spent together
Why remember all the old times
When the new times look much better
Much better
Though I am starting over under cloudy skies
I say hello to love
I'm seeing through different eyes
And if I had the chance to make one wish
And know it would come true
I'd start all over with you
(scott mccarl)
I'm an ivory tower boy
Never quite put down the toys
I always think the best of them all
I see only sunny skies
With the wool over my eyes
I never seem to find the crack or the fault
I see it all through rose coloured glasses
And I only see what matters to me
I see you all through rose coloured classes, yeah
The road that I chose is coloured rose
It's a funny sort of haze
All full of dreams of yesterdays
And the dreams are so real you could cry
And you know the grass is green
On the side you've never seen
And the thought is what helps you get by
I see it all through rose coloured glasses
And I only see what matters to me
I see you all through rose coloured classes, yeah
The road that I chose is coloured rose
As I grow a little more
Wonder what this all is for
And the brass ring is slipping away
I would keep the glasses near
And would shed a quiet tear
And maybe smile inside as I say
I see it all through rose coloured glasses
And I only see what matters to me
I see you all through rose coloured classes, yeah
(Eric Carmen)
Well I know it sounds funny
But I'm not in it for the money, no
I don't need reputation
And I'm not in it for the show
I just want a hit record
Want to hear it on the radio
Want a big hit record
One that everybody's got to know
Well the program director don't pull it
Then it's bound to get back the bullet
So bring the group down to the station
You're gonna be an overnight sensation
I've been tryin' to write the lyric
Not offensive but satiric, too
If you can get it in the ";A"; slot
It's just gotta make a mint for you
And I want a hit record
Want to hear it on the radio
Want a big hit record
One that everybody's got to own
Overnight sensation
I fit the words
To a good melody
Amazing how success
Has been ignoring me so long
I've used my bread
Making demos all day
And writing in the night
While in my head I hear
The record play
Hear it play
Hit record, yeah
Want a hit record, yeah
Want a hit record, yeah
(Number one)
Want a hit record, yeah

Darlin' I was feelin' somethin' missing
In my life
Never seeing, never caring to try
And you touched me and you made me feel so different
So alive
I was nowhere, till you opened my eyes
Oh baby,
I can hardly believe you're mine
Baby,
I can hardly believe you're mine
Darlin' when you're lyin' here beneath me
All I know
Is I love you, more than I ever show
But you greet me without words it seems
And still the feeling grows
I was nowhere, till your love touched my soul
Oh baby,
I can hardly believe you're mine
Baby,
I can hardly believe you're mine
Why d'you suppose
How my heart would filled
With so much emptiness
Now I've found you
You're surrounding my heart
With sweet, sweet tenderness
You greet me without words it seems
And still the feeling grows
I was nowhere, till your love touched my soul
Baby,
I can hardly believe you're mine (yeah)
Whoa Baby,
I can hardly believe you're mine
Baby,
I can hardly believe you're mine
Baby,
I can hardly believe you're mine
Cry
(Eric Carmen/Scott McCarl)
Cry if you feel lonely
And you know you can't make the grade
Now that you realize you should've stayed
And if you feel the way I do
I want you to cry your eyes out
I'm cryin' too
Never thought I'd never see the day
I'd be happy to set you free
But you made a fool out of me
Now you're crying, ";baby, take me back";
But I never wanted you to leave
But you made a fool out of me
You made a fool out of me
Cry if you feel lonely
And you know you can't make the grade
Now that you realize you should've stayed
And if you feel the way I do
I want you to cry your eyes out
I'm cryin' too
Never thought I'd never see the day
I'd be happy to set you free
But you made a fool out of me
Now you're crying, ";baby, take me back";
But I never wanted you to leave
But you made a fool out of me

Hey now, sugar
Let me buy you a drink
Don't you tell me your last name
I won't recognize you after tonight
'Cause you just won't look the same
Well I could look for an hour or two
Trying to find someone just like you
Why don t you sit right down?
Have a double, let me get to know ya'
All through the night
If you decide it 'll be alright
Gonna make you sweat till the sheets are wet
Now don't say I didn't warn 'ya
All through the night
If you play your hand just right
You're gonna know my bed
Take my hand
And hitchhike home in the morning
You feel so soft and you taste so sweet
Like cold wine in mid-July
Have the finest time when you shake and cry
And the drink's sure got me high
Now that I've already had 'ya
I'm gettin' bored with the idle chat
'Bout the place you live, what you do all day
Well honey, the door's got a handle
All through the night
If you decide it'll be alright
Gonna make you sweat till the sheets are wet
Now don't say I didn't warn 'ya
All through the night
If you play your hand just right
You're gonna know my bed
Take my hand
And hitchhike home in the morning
All through the night
If you decide it'll be alright
Gonna make you sweat till the sheets are wet
Now don't say I didn't warn 'ya
All through the night
If you play your hand just right
You're gonna know my bed
Take my hand
And hitchhike home in the morning
If we meet again
Baby, who knows when
In a smoke-filled, sleazy bar
Don't you be surprised if between the flies
I can't tell which one you are
You all look just the same
And I never could remember names
So if you say, ";hello"; and I still don't know
Well, honey, it's such a shame
All through the night
If you decide it'll be alright
Gonna make you sweat till the sheets are wet
Now don't say I didn't warn 'ya
All through the night
If you play your hand just right
You're gonna know my bed
Take my hand
And hitchhike home in the morning
You're gonna know my bed
Baby, take my hand

I run a comb through my hair
and step out in the street
And the city's the color of flame
in the mid-summer heat
Oh yeah
Jennifer's got her daddy's car,
She's playing ";Uptown"; on the stereo
We go cruisin' so close,

And the wind is so hot in our hair, like a fire in July

like I'm losing my mind
Whoa yeah

(We close our eyes) we start rememberin' when
(We start to kiss) and now the feeling's intense
And we just pray that this night never ends

Money down!
Lotta funky women been tryin' to scare me
Tell me that they'll leave me if I ain't true

Ya know that when they leave it ain't me that's blue
Little woman can't ya see I'm bound to roam
And I got no fears about livin' alone

It's time to leave, this party's boring
I'd rather be alone -- with you
I found a place where we can go
Just the two of us will know
'cause there's some things I'd like to do
Ooh, I wanna woo you, all night on the beach
'cause we've got all summer to learn how to on the beach
They don't expect us till tomorrow
I'll have us back again by two
We'll take the car and slip away
There'll be no one there to say
Just what we should or shouldn't do
Ooh, I wanna
Oh, I wanna woo you, all night on the beach
'cause we've got all summer to learn how to on the beach

Just got into town on a midnight plane
After this is over I'll be leavin' again
Somebody wants to put the pin on me
She's sayin' that it's mine but I know that can't be
Makin' it easy for me to be movin' on
Makin' it easy for me to be a long time gone
Met her at a job was a friday night
She was sittin' in the front row lookin' outta sight!
Sang my song to her all about romance
Oo we got together and she took a chance
Makin' it easy for me to be movin' on
Makin' it easy for me tote a long time gone
Ya know I left that town, they're all the same
I was doin' all right till the letter came
She said, "i'm sorry, baby, but just the same
I got to find somebody to take the blame"
Oh yeah
I said, "what's this, babe, you know I got no time
To be worryin' 'bout a problem that I know ain't mine
You've had too many lovers to know it's me
You better find somebody else, I wanna be free"
Makin' it easy for me to be movin' on
Good friends, book ends
Solitaire for two
Till she was leaving
I never really knew
When I looked in her eyes, I saw the light
I realized all along it was her
When I looked in her eyes, I saw the light
I realized
There's a knock on the door
Then you're home forever more
And now that you're here
There is nothing to fear
When I looked in her eyes, I saw the light
I realized all along it was her
When I looked in her eyes, I saw the light
I realized all along it was her
When I looked in her eyes, I saw the light

Get it Moving back my way
Oh, I couldn't live another day without your love
Get it moving, yeah

You needed time and would I wait.
I've been so lost and now I've got to tell you
I need it all, I can't be second rate.
Get it moving back my way
Oh, I Couldn't live another day without your love

Don't want to drive your love away from me
Don't want to waste your time

If you could chase away my blues
You'd understand just how it feels at night
To have to stand inside my shoes
Don't want to say goodbye
Don't want to let you see me cry
Still, I don't want you to live a lie

I'm gonna try a little harder
I'm gonna try a little harder
And maybe you'll love me
Don't want to drive your love away from me
Don't want to waste your time
You're here and there and far away from me
I'm so alone, it's just a crime
Don't want to say goodbye
Don't want to let you see me cry
Still, I don't want you to live a lie
I'm gonna try a little harder
I'm gonna try a little harder
I'm gonna try a little harder
And maybe you'll love me
Maybe you'll love me
Maybe you'll love me
(Wally Bryson)
If you want me to wait forever
I will
And though you say you may love me never
You will
A love as strong as mine
You shouldn't be denied, my love
You'll end up by my side
Just wait and see me
If you want me to wait forever
I will
And though you say you may love me never
You will
Although I know you've tried
There's nowhere left to hide, my love
You'll end up by my side
Come around and see me
Don't ever think I'll be cruel to you
I'm a fool for you
Come around and see me
If you want me to wait forever
I will
And though you say you may love me never
You will
You know I've never lied
You'll never be denied, my love
You'll end up by my side
Come around and see me
Don't ever think I'll be cruel to you
I'm a fool for you
Come around and see me
If you want me to wait forever
I will
And though you say you may love me never
You will
You know I've never lied
You'll never be denied, my love
You'll end up by my side
Come, around and see me
Come around and see me, come around and see me
(Eric Carmen)
Well it's all been said, it's all over now
I guess that I should leave
'Cause there's nothin' left for me to do
Except to set you free
So let me leave you now before I cry
I'll just go back to my room and hide
And never let no one else inside to
To do this again
But if you change your mind
Won't you take some time
And let me know that you
Still want me too
'Cause I'll wait night and day
Until you say that you have
Changed your mind
Won't you change your mind
If you should change your mind
Oh yeah
Well I tried so hard to be the one
That you were dreaming of
But I guess it wasn't quite enough
To make you fall in love
So walk away, leave me by myself
And let me crawl back into my shell
And be the me that I do so well
Before I met you
But if you change your mind
Won't you take some time
And let me know that you
Still want me too
'Cause I'll wait night and day
Until you say that you have
Changed your mind
Won't you change your mind
If you should change your mind
Oh yeah
I'll be waitin' at home
Just a call me up on the phone
And I'll be by your side
There's no reason to hide
If you need me just call
Don't you worry at all
But if this is the end
And I can't see you again
I just can't carry on
It's so hard when you're gone
It's so hard when you're gone
Oh oh, oh oh, oh no, oh!
Baby don't leave
Baby don't go
Oh baby don't go
Baby don't go now
Baby, don't leave me
Oh, baby don't go
Baby don't leave
Baby don't go now
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Baby don't go
Baby don't leave me
I need you so bad now
No, no, no, baby
(David Smalley/Eric Carmen)
Goin' nowhere tonight mama,
I'm gonna be stayin' home
You walked out a week ago,
And I'm here sittin' by my telephone
Hopin' you might change your mind
Feelin' sorry I was so unkind
Goin' nowhere tonight mama,
Can't take it no more
I called your number and your daddy said,
You've just gone out the door
How could you throw it all away?
I'd never thought I'd see the day when I'd be...
Goin' nowhere tonight mama,
I'm gonna be stayin' home
You walked out a week ago,
And I'm here sittin' by my telephone
Hopin' you might change your mind
Feelin' sorry I was so unkind
Goin' nowhere tonight mama
Goin' nowhere tonight mama
(David Smalley)
I said, ";Come on, yeah!
Come on, ooh!
I've been lookin' for someone
Just like you";
I said, ";Come on, yeah!
Come on, ooh!
Together we could find out
What to do";
It's not easy when you fall in love
But I'm willin' to try, yes I am
'Cause I've been thinkin' 'bout lovin' you
Oh, oh, oh, every way I can
I said, ";Come on, baby!
Come on, try!
I know you were hurt
By that other guy";
I said, ";Come on, baby!
Come on, please!
To make you happy
I'm on my knees";
It's not easy havin' just one girl
But I'm willin' to try, yes I am
'Cause I've been thinkin' 'bout lovin' you
Oh, oh, oh, every way I can
I said, ";Come on, baby!
Come on, try!
We got this chance
Don't let it pass you by";
I said, ";Come on, baby!
Come on, please!
If you make me happy
Then I'll never leave";
It's not easy when you fall in love
But I'm willin' to try, yes I am
'Cause I've been thinkin' 'bout lovin' you
Oh, oh, oh, every way I can
Every way I can

Maybe my baby's got a new man
Who can take her where she wants to go
(I'm thinking)
Maybe my baby's got a new lover
And I'm not supposed to know
I call her on the telephone
But she's never where she's supposed to be
Lately when we're all alone
Well it seems she don't want any part of me
Don't you know I'm gonna lose my mind
If there's someone else after all this time
(I'm thinking)
Maybe my baby's got a new man
Who can take her where she wants to go
(I'm thinking)
Maybe my baby's got a new lover
And I'm not supposed to know
(Well somethin' tells me)
Maybe my baby's got a new guy
And he's really puttin' on a show
(I'm thinking)
Maybe my baby's got a new lover
And I'm not supposed to know
I can't believe it's come to this
But my heart keeps tellin' me there's somethin' wrong
I feel the difference in her kiss
I wanna know what I'll do when she's really gone
Well, don't you know I'm gonna lose my mind
If there's someone else after all this time
(I keep thinking)
Maybe my baby's got a new man
Who can take her where she wants to go
Maybe my baby's got a new lover
And I'm not supposed to know
(Well somethin' tells me)
Maybe my baby's got a new guy
And he's really puttin' on a show
(I'm thinking)
Maybe my baby's got a new lover
And I'm not supposed to know
I can't seem to pin her down
Friends tell me all I'm getting is the runaround
I'm sitting home and it's Saturday night
Is she moving in with someone else tonight
Maybe my baby's got a new man
Who can take her where she wants to go
(I'm thinking)
Maybe my baby's got a new lover
And I'm not supposed to know
(Well somethin' tells me)
Maybe my baby's got a new guy
And he's really puttin' on a show
(I'm thinking)
Maybe my baby's got a new lover
And I'm not supposed to know
Yes, and I'm not supposed to know
And I'm not supposed to know
Maybe my baby's got a new man
Who can take her where she wants to go
(I'm thinking)
Maybe my baby's got a new lover
(Eric Carmen)
I put away your photograph
And turn out all the lights
But I can't seem to make myself forget
'Cause every time I close my eyes
And see your face again
I realize that's all that I have left
I'm through with love
I'm through with pain
Don't wanna feel that way again
'Cause if you're gone for good
I'll never be the same
I thought that what we had was real
But maybe I'm a fool
Who only sees the things he wants to see
'Cause it seems that when I need you most
I find myself alone
And I know that's not the way love's supposed to be
I'm through with love
And sad goodbyes
Can't take the lows
Don't want those highs
This heart needs time to mend
I'm through with love, my friend
Well, maybe someday if the feeling comes again
I won't remember how it hurt but until then
I'm through with love
I'm through with pain
Don't wanna feel that way again
'Cause if you're gone for good
I'll never be the same
I'm through with love
And sad goodbyes
Can't take the lows
Don't want those highs
This heart needs time to mend
'Cause if we've reached the end
Till I can feel again
(Eric Carmen/Dean Pitchford)
I hear it from my friends
I hear it on the street
I hear it in the air, here and there, everywhere
And from everyone I meet
And every time I hear you love me
Ooh, my heart skips
But I wanna hear it from your lips
(You never told me, ooh, you never told me)
I wanna hear it from your lips
(You never told me, ooh)
I hear it in my car
I hear it on the phone
I hear it in a crowd, nice and loud, completely now
I hear it when I'm all alone
And every time I hear you love me
Ooh, my heart skips
But I wanna hear it from your lips
(You never told me, ooh, you never told me)
I wanna hear it from your lips
(You never told me, ooh)
Everybody's been told, and the whole world knows
Just how good our love is gonna be
But ooh-ee (ooh-ee), Baby (baby)
You never told me
You never told me
I see it in your eyes
I feel it in your touch
You even found a way you can say all you mean
But you never say too much
And if you'd only say you love me
Ooh, my heart'll flip
And I wanna hear it from your lips
(You never told me, ooh, you never told me)
I got to hear it from your lips
(You never told me, ooh you never told me)
Baby, baby, I got to have it from your lips
(You never told me, ooh, you never told me)
I wanna hear it from your lips
(You never told me, ooh, you never told me)
I wanna hear it from your lips
(You never told me, ooh, you never told me)
Sunrise, shine down a little love
On the world today
And make a morning so sweet
That it'll have to chase my blues away
Oh, the moon and stars have gone
And I can see the light of dawn
Like a golden smile
Brightening up the brand new day
Sunrise, come wrap me in the warmth
Of your crimson sky
I spent a long time
Believin' in a dream that had passed me by
But the moon and stars have gone
And I can see the light of dawn
Like a golden smile
Brightening up the morning sky
From my bed I can hear the world outside
I get up, throw my window open wide
Take a breath of that fresh air
Take a breath of that fresh air
Fresh air
Sunrise, shine down a little love
On the world today
And make a morning so sweet
That it'll have to chase my blues away
Oh, the moon and stars have gone
And I can see the light of dawn
Like a golden smile
Brightening up the brand new day
I was livin' for tomorrow
Hangin' on from day to day
Tired of chasin' a dream
That so constantly seemed
To just slip away
Oh, now that I've found a love that's forever
Heaven can wait till then
Oh, at last I can see how sweet love can be
So if it's not too late
Heaven can wait
Life is short, my darlin'
But tomorrow come what may
You are here in my heart
And that's something that no one can take away
Oh, now that I've found a love that's forever
Heaven can wait till then
Oh, at last I can see how sweet love can be
So if it's not too late
Heaven can wait
Oh, now that I've found a love that's forever
Heaven can wait till then
Oh, at last I can see how sweet love can be
So if it's not too late
Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait
(Eric Carmen)
You just strap on that guitar
And you can make yourself a star
And look at everything
With a jaded nonchalance
You've got money, you've got fame
You've got coast-to-coast acclaim
You've got everything
That a man could ever want
Everything
Seems everyday, I'm gettin' harder pressed
To find a reason to shave
Watchin' the hours just slippin' away
No motivation to get out of bed
And carry on the charade
Caught in a dream that's goin' astray
Oh, all those great expectations
Seems they never work out, never work out
The way that I plan
All those great expectations
Why they never work out, never work out
I can't understand
And just when I think that things are goin' right
I get a call from L.A.
?Sorry to say, we're changin' your song"
I try to reason, but I can't get through
They're gonna do it their way
What can I say, they've never been wrong
Oh, all those great expectations
Seems they never work out, never work out
The way that I plan
All those great expectations
Why they never work out, never work out
I can't understand
Life is just a game of chance
I think somebody said so
Sometimes you get a hula hoop, sometimes you get an Edsel
Oh, all those great expectations
Seems they never work out, never work out
The way that I plan
All those great expectations
Why they never work out, never work out
(Eric Carmen)
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And makin' love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself anymore
Hard to be sure
Some times I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
Hey Deanie, won't you come out tonight?
The stars are dancin' like diamonds in the moonlight
And we could never find a better time to be in love
Hey Deanie, won't you come out tonight?
The summer's waitin', the moon is shinin' so bright
Hey Deanie, you're the one I'm dreamin' of
I was a fool for your love from the moment I saw you
Like a vision in the darkness of a thousand lonesome, lonely nights
Like my heart threw away the key, I was blind as a man could be
Oh darlin' till you help me see the light
Hey Deanie, won't you come out tonight?
The stars are dancin' like diamonds in the moonlight
And we could never find a better time to be in love
Hey Deanie, won't you come out tonight?
The summer's waitin', the moon is shinin' so bright
Hey Deanie, you're the one I'm dreamin' of
I stand accused, I'm in league with the forces of darkness
An incurable believer in the magic of the midnight sky
And the love that I found today, oh, I can't let it slip away
Oh darlin', can't you read between the lines? Yeah
Hey Deanie, won't you come out tonight?
The stars are dancin' like diamonds in the moonlight
And we could never find a better time to be in love
Hey Deanie, won't you come out tonight?
The summer's waitin', the moon is shinin' so bright
Hey Deanie, you're the one
Deanie, love
Deanie, love is all there is
I don't wanna lose it
Don't wanna let the evenin' go
If it's here within our reach
I think we should use it
Now while we're young enough
To still let it show
Hey Deanie, won't you come out tonight?
The stars are dancin' like diamonds in the moonlight
And we could never find a better time to be in love
Hey Deanie, won't you come out tonight?
The summer's waitin', the moon is shinin' so bright
Hey Deanie, you're the one I'm dreamin' of
Hey Deanie, you're the one I'm dreamin' of
Hey Deanie, you're the one I'm dreamin' of
Won't you come out tonight?
You're the one that I'm dreamin' of
I'm a fool for your love
(Eric Carmen)
Instrumental
Someday when I'm cool
She's gonna think about how
She used to treat me so cruel
On that someday
Man, she'll crawl back to me
Someday when I'm gone
She's gonna see
How it feels to be all alone
On that someday
Man, she'll crawl back to me
So she said goodbye again
I'm just waitin' for the time to come
When she'll get down on her knees
Beggin', now darlin', please
I've been tryin' every trick I know
But she still walks in
Makes me feel so grim
Seein' her is gettin' harder every day
Someday when I'm cool
She's gonna think about how
She used to treat me so cruel
On that someday
Man, she'll crawl back to me
Man, she'll crawl back to me
Man, she'll crawl back to me
Someday
(Eric Carmen)
Baby
Life has come between a lot of happy people
But the world has never had a broken heart
So don't you let it get you too discouraged
Sometimes bein' in love takes a lot of courage
Haven't we come a long way, baby
To let this foolish world
Tear us both apart
Oh darlin'
(I said)
After all we've been through, baby
If you left me now
You know it's got to break my heart
Baby
Everybody tells me the things I ought to be
And all the while I'm just tryin' to make ends meet
Don't you let it bring you down, now honey
'Cause the love that we got doesn't cost any money
Haven't we come a long way, baby
To let this foolish world
Tear us both apart
Oh darlin'
(I said)
After all we've been through, baby
If you left me now
You know it's got to break my heart
I said love is the answer
And love is in me
Haven't we come a long way, baby
To let this foolish world
Tear us both apart
Oh darlin'
(Listen)
After all we've been through, baby
If you left me now
You know it's got to break my heart
Haven't we come a long way, baby
Haven't we come a long way, baby
Listen when I tell you now
(Eric Carmen)
Things are so wrong
I know how hard it must seem
But honey, I need you beside me now
People get angry
They say things they don't mean
We're gonna make it work somehow
Whoa, and darlin'
It's not the end of the world
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
Aah, Darlin'
It's not the end of the world
As long as you need me
As long as you need me
Love isn't easy
And there's no guarantee
Everything has to turn out right
We got each other
And that's all that we need
That and the way we feel inside
Whoa, and darlin'
It's not the end of the world
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
Aah, Darlin'
It's not the end of the world
As long as you need me
As long as you need me
Darlin'
It's not the end of the world
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
Aah, Darlin'
It's not the end of the world
As long as you need me
As long as you need me
Darlin'
It's not the end of the world
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
Darlin'
It's not the end of the world
As long as you need me
(Holland, Dozier, Holland)
Baby I need your lovin'
Baby I need your lovin'
Although you're never near
Your voice I often hear
Another day, another night
I long to hold you tight
'Cause I'm so lonely
Baby, I need your lovin'
I got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Some say it's a sign of weakness
For a man to beg
Then weak I'd rather be
If it means havin' you to keep
'Cause lately I've been losin' sleep
Baby, I need your lovin'
I got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Empty nights
Echo your name
Sometimes I wonder
Will I ever be the same
Oh yeah, when you see me smile
You know
Things have gotten worse
Any smile you might see
Has all been rehearsed
Darlin', I can't go on without you
This emptiness won't let me live without you
This loneliness inside me darlin'
Makes me feel not alive, honey
Baby, I need your lovin'
I got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
I got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
(Eric Carmen)
I set to sea on a ship called Emptiness
Cast away on the Island of Loneliness
Lookin' for love
Ooh, and I was lookin' for love
(You know)
I didn't think she could hear my S.O.S.
But she appeared like an angel of tenderness
Sent from above
Oh, she was bringing me love
Oh, mama, she did it
Woh mama, she did it, yeah
Ooh, she did it
Woh mama, she did it, yeah
Looking back, making love was meaningless
Till she touched me with her warmth
And a gentleness I'd never known
Ooh, and she was guiding me home
(Now I)
Now I see all the things in life I missed
Till she opened up my eyes to the limitless
Wonder of love
Oh, and now I'm ready for love
Oh, mama, she did it
Woh mama, she did it, yeah
Ooh, she did it
Woh mama, she did it, yeah
I never knew what love was about
Till she came and stole away my heart
Now I'm alive and I know it
And all I ever wanna do is show it
(Oh yeah)
Oh, mama, she did it
Woh mama, she did it, yeah
Ooh, she did it
(Eric Carmen)
Lost in a dance
Waiting for the chance
All I really needed was to love you
Night after night
Searchin' for the light
You saved me
You gave me something I could feel
Love is all that matters
Faithful and forever
Keepin' us together
Love is all we need
Prisoner of illusion
Sentence is suspended
Loneliness is ended
Love has set me free
Dreams from the past
Comin' true at last
Never noticed how my life was changing
Now I can see
All that love can be
You saved me
You gave me
Something that was real
Love is all that matters
Faithful and forever
Keepin' us together
Love is all we need
Prisoner of illusion
Sentence is suspended
Loneliness is ended
Love has set me free
Love is all that matters
Faithful and forever
Keepin' us together
Love is all we need
Prisoner of illusion
Sentence is suspended
Loneliness is ended
Everybody says, we're through now
I have heard them say, the love we've shared is through
Even if I have to hear these words from you now, baby
I'm gonna keep on lovin', lovin' you
There ain't nothing gonna stop me
There ain't nothing gonna stop me
Ain't nothing gonna stop me from lovin' you
No matter what you say or do
I've been loving you much too long
And now my love is far too strong
There ain't nothing gonna stop me from loving you
Nothing gonna stop me, babe, from lovin' you
Nothing gonna stop me, babe, from lovin' you
You know I'm gonna love you woman
You know I will
You know I'm gonna love you woman
With everything I've got, oh yeah
You know I'm gonna, love you babe
Ain't nothing gonna stop me
Nothing gonna stop me
Ain't nothing gonna stop me from lovin' you
No matter what you say or do
Ain't nothing gonna stop me
(Eric Carmen)
Love was in her heart
But I had dreams to find before I could see
I asked her if she'd wait for me
But I was gone too long
Tears were in her eyes
She said I took our love and threw it away
And nothin' I could do or say
Could bring it back again
I was tryin' to be somethin' more
Than the man I had come to be
I never meant to leave her sad and lonely
If only she could see
I did it all for love
All for love
'Cause nothin' really matters if it's strong enough
All for love
All for love
No, nothin' really matters if you've got enough
She walked out that door
And all my dreams went with her into the night
I wondered how a love so right
Could ever slip away
Love was in her heart
But I had dreams to find before I could see
That somewhere deep inside of me
She'll always be the one
I was tryin' to be somethin' more
Than the man I had come to be
Never meant to leave her sad and lonely
If only she could see
I did it all for love
All for love
'Cause nothin' really matters if it's strong enough
All for love
All for love
No, nothin' really matters if you've got enough
I did it all for love
All for love
'Cause nothin' really matters if it's strong enough
All for love
All for love
No, nothin' really matters but I want her by my side
I did it all for love
All for love
'Cause nothin' really matters if it's strong enough
All for love
All for love

Get up in the morning
Check out the weather
If it looks like sun
I get my things together
Throw some cutoffs on
Got my tank-top and tennies now
And head for the beach
Well I'm drivin' down the highway
Losin' all my patience
Pushin' all the buttons
Tryin' to find a station
With a screamin' jock
Turnin' out my daily ration of
(cruisin' music, sure good music)
To put the fun back in summertime
I need some cruisin' music to make everything alright
Well I'm flyin' down the freeway
Floatin' like a feather
I've got my windows rolled down
In the hot summer weather
With my radio up loud
Nothing makes me feel better
Than some good rock 'n' roll
(good good, good rock and roll)
Those suntanned girls
Are lookin' outta sight
A beach-drenched chick
Would never get uptight
'cause when the sun goes down
We'll be dancin' through the night and singin'
(cruisin' music, sure good music)
To put the pop back in summertime
I need some cruisin' music to make everythin' alright
It's time you heard some happy music
God knows this world could really use a little sunshine
So won't you make mine
(yeah)
You know I need some more of that
(cruisin' music, sure good music)
To put the fun back in summertime
I need some cruisin' music to make everything alright
(cruisin' music, sure good music)
To put the fun back in summertime
(Eric Carmen)
(Come on)
When we made love tonight
I swear it felt just like the first time
You took me all the way
I heard you say
You know we can't be wrong
So take me all the way
I need you now
I've wanted you so long
In all of my life, there's no one else
You're still the one
And when you touch me now
The world stands still just like the night when
You took me all the way
I heard you say
You know we can't be wrong
So take me all the way
I need you now
I've wanted you so long
In all of my life, there's no one else
You're still the one
I recall when I looked into your eyes
Ooh, I knew it was meant to be
Then you pulled your body close to mine
Ooh, I shivered when you whispered
"Please"
(Come on)
"Please"
(Come On)
"I need to know what it's really like, come on"
(Come on)
"Come on"
(Come on)
I'll show you what it's really like
I'll show you what it's like
I'm gonna show you my love
You took me all the way
I heard you say
You know we can't be wrong
So take me all the way
I need you now
I've wanted you so long
In all of my life, there's no one else
You're still the one
You took me all the way
I heard you say
You know we can't be wrong
So take me all the way
I need you now
I've wanted you so long
You took me all the way
I heard you say
You know we can't be wrong
So take me all the way
I need you now

I tell myself
This can't be love
That I'm feelin'
But if I think that my world
Will be the way that it was
I'm dreamin'
Why do I feel so high
At the mention of your name
Why do I act so shy
Can't explain, can't explain, can't explain
But darlin'
Wo-wo-wo when you go walkin' by
My heart stops
My heart stops
I can't explain it
Wo-wo-wo when you look in my eye
My heart stops
My heart stops
Every time you're near
Just thinkin' about you
Darlin' it just does
Something to me
And when we meet on the street
I feel the flame of love
Burnin' through me
I try to play it cool
And never show a sign
But I give myself away
Every time, every time, every time
'cause darlin'
Wo-wo-wo when you go walkin' by
My heart stops
My heart stops
I can't explain it
Wo-wo-wo when you look in my eye
My heart stops
My heart stops
Every time you're near
My heart stops, my heart stops
My heart stops, my heart stops
Oh, whenever you're close to me
There's a wave of love rushin' over me
And I never felt this way
Can't explain, can't explain, can't explain
But darlin'
My darlin'
Wo-wo-wo when you go walkin' by
My heart stops
My heart stops
I can't explain it
Wo-wo-wo when you look in my eye
My heart stops
My heart stops

It' a hard life but you play it for laughs
It's a cold-hearted business keep away from the draft
And your fingers and your throat get sore
But they're out there callin' for some more
So play on
(while the lights shine around your head)
Play on
(every night in a different bed)
And the nights go on and on
Get a break and find a place you can hide
'cause tonight you've got to be a star personified
You're rushing round to get your plane
And it's back in the bubble again
So play on
(while the lights shine around your head)
Play on
(every night in a different bed)
And the nights go on and on
Critics comin' cause you're number one (number one)
Play all your hits and all the girls will come
(play on), play on, (play on), play on
Yeah, so play on
(while the lights shine around your head)
Play on
(every night in a different bed)
And the nights go on and on
It' a hard life but you play it for laughs
It's a cold-hearted business keep away from the trap
And your fingers on your throat get sore
But they're out there beggin' for some more
So play on
(while the lights shine around your head)
Play on
(every night in a different bed)
And the nights go on and on

When we started it was a lot of fun
And the times we had I'll never forget
But now I'm older and wiser
And a bit of a miser
And it's crazy but I don't wanna quit
Ain't it a shame the party's over
Yeah, we couldn't keep fooling round
Ain't it a shame the party's over
Yeah, we've got to keep our feet on the ground
Broken hearted, it ain't a lotta fun
Though I have to I can never forget
So I'm older and brighter
And a bad criticizer
And I'm crazy but I don't give a shit
Now ain't it a shame the party's over
Yeah, we couldn't keep fooling round
Ain't it a shame the party's over
Yeah, we've got to keep our feet on the ground
My old lady don't see a lot of love
But my guitar, I give it all it can get
So if the moment ain't right
I'll party all night
Call me crazy but I ain't gonna quit
Now ain't it a shame the party's over
Yeah, we couldn't keep fooling round
Ain't it a shame the party's over
Yeah, we've got to keep our feet on the ground
The party's over
The party's over
(wally bryson)
Might as well give in
Have to say it's true
Can't believe it's happened to me, but,
Ooh, I'm glad it's you
I guess you were the one from the start
And try as I may I can't say that we'll part
So I might as well give in
And say I love you
All the times before
All the love we make
I was so afraid of emotions
I could only take
You were there from the start
And try as I may I can say that we'll part
So I might as well give in
And say I love you
All of my other loves
Made me so sad
Don't want to find out
That lovin' you, needin' you,
Makes you feel bad
Might as well give in
Have to say it's true
Can't believe it's happened to me, but,
Ooh, I'm glad it's you
I guess you were the one from the start
And try as I may I can't say that we'll part
So I might as well give in
And say I love you
I love you
(wally bryson)
Won't you let me get to know you?
Given the time I could show you
How good it feels to be in love
Nice to have someone thinking of you
If I had the chance with you
I'd ask for the last dance with you
We'd dance away into the night
Know that you shouldn't be sharing
All of those nights with your mother
Staring at you staring at her
Thinking of places you wish you were
If I had the chance with you
I'd ask for the last dance with you
We'd dance away into the night
Couldn't you give me a chance for a while?
Given the time I know I could make you smile
And once you let me get to know you
And give me the time and I show you
How good it feels to be in love
At night you'll have someone thinking of you
If I had the chance with you
I'd ask for the last dance with you
We'd dance away into the night
When I get my chance with you
I'll make enough romance for two
Dreams
All those silver dreams
Though destined to be broken
Still linger in my memories as tarnished pages
Loves
That have been and gone
Left saccharin and ashes
Scattered in a wind of silent indifference
Light the way, light the way
Where do I belong?
Light the way, light the way
Oh, where do I belong?
Tears
Bitter sweetened tears
Have left their burning traces
Of bridges soaked in kerosene and expectation
Light the way, light the way
Where do I belong?
Light the way, light the way
Where do I belong?
Hopes
For a time of peace
Left many broken hearted
For causes that are lost are felt far more deeply
Light the way, light the way
Where do we belong?
Light the way, light the way
Oh, where do we belong?
(david smalley)
Don't you know you're gonna lose
If you love somebody that don't love you?
You'll believe him when he's untrue
But I can't bear seein' him break your heart in two
I've let it happen much too long
Should I wait, hopin' you'll find out on your own?
It's me who's loved you for so long
If he hurts you with his lies
Don't let it take too long to open your eyes
You're gonna see through his disguise
But I can't bear seein' him break your heart in two
I'm tired of tryin' to play it cool
Should I wait, hopin' you'll find out on your own?
The one you love is just a fool
If I had the chance I'd make you see
When you fall in love how it should be
A love that makes you sad can only turn out bad
So I'll be hangin' 'round until you're free
Don't you know you're gonna lose
If you love somebody that don't love you?
You'll believe him when he's untrue
But I can't bear seein' him break your heart in two
I've let it happen much too long
Should I wait, hopin' you'll find out on your own?

Northern lovin's mean, so cold and weary
You know, I got to go down south to get love right
And the way they love down south
You know it makes my blood run hot
I need some southern comfort, hey, hey, hey
Gimme some of your southern comfort, hey, hey, hey
Well I've had my fill of gold I trade for women
Now I need some southern hospitality
And the way they love down south,
You know it makes my blood run hot
I need some southern comfort, hey, hey, hey
Gimme some of your southern comfort, hey, hey, hey
So if you wanna keep me satisfied
You gotta give me some southern comfort tonight
Well I've had my fill of gold I trade for women
No, I need some southern hospitality
And the way they love down south,
You know it makes my blood run hot
I need some southern comfort, hey, hey, hey
Gimme some of your southern comfort, hey, hey, hey
And the way they love down south,
You know it makes my blood run hot
Gimme some of your southern comfort, hey, hey, hey
Gimme some of your southern comfort, hey, hey, hey

With you in my life all I want to do is love
With you in my life you are all I'm thinking of
I hope you know I've never felt this way
And as long as you're true to me in my life you'll stay
I'll give you happiness; a little boy, a little girl
Another boy, another girl, and love
With you in my life all I want to do is love
With you in my life you are all I'm thinking of
I hope you know I've never felt this way

And when I see the sign that points "One Way "
The one we used to pass by every day
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You're not to blame
From deep inside the fear that I forced aside
From deep inside the pain that I chose to hide
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes
For me it cries
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes
For me it cries
Your name and mine inside a heart upon a wall
Still find a way to haunt me, though they're so small
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
(Eric Carmen)
We used to laugh
We used to cry
We used to talk about forever you and I
And love was all we seemed to need
I still recall sometimes
The way we used to be
When did we change
Where has love gone
We can't explain it
but we know there's something wrong
And all that's left of you and me
Is just a memory of
The way we used to be
I can remember when
We used to be the best of friends
Now suddenly we don't know what to say
If there's a chance that we
Can bring the feeling back again
I've got to try
Why don't you stay
'Cause in my heart
I think you know
I tried to hide it but I just can't let you go
It's not too late
For you and me
To be in love again
The way we used to be
It's not too late
For you and me
To be in love again
(Eric Carmen)
Take it or leave it
Won'tcha take my love or set me free
I need to know right now
Won'tcha save me from this misery
(Listen, you better)
Take it or leave it
You've been sleepin' on it much too long
And in the bank of my love
Your account's already overdrawn
I was never a believer in synthetic affection
Love is here or it was never really there at all
But there's a rumor goin' round
While I was out on the road
You were out on the town
(You better)
Take it or leave it
Won'tcha take my love or set me free
I need to know right now
Won'tcha save me from this misery
I used to think that you and me
Were different from all the rest
Well I'm a jealous man
Don't you put me to the test
I doubt there ever was a woman
That was sheer perfection
But I never wanna see you with another man
You better make your mind up fast
'Cause I'm in love with you now
But it ain't gonna last
(You better)
Take it or leave it
Won'tcha take my love or set me free
I need to know right now
Won'tcha save me from this misery
Take it or leave it
Take it or leave it
(Eric Carmen)
Last night when I took you home
I felt like dyin'
'Cause it's been so long
Since a woman made me feel like tryin'
And I need you beside me
To love and to guide me
So, sleep with me and be mine tonight
I only wanna hold you in the mornin' light
And show you just how good it all can be
So if you want my love
Then take my love
And never set me free
I need you so, oh darlin' sleep with me
Sometimes I believe our love
Could last forever
But when I'm here alone
All I know is we should be together
And I need you beside me
To love and to guide me
So, sleep with me and be mine tonight
I only wanna hold you in the mornin' light
And show you just how good it all can be
So if you want my love
Then take my love
And never set me free
I need you so, oh darlin' sleep with me
I'm just tryin' to make you understand
The things I feel for you
Gonna love you every way I can
Until you let me through
Won'tcha let me through
So, sleep with me and be mine tonight
I only wanna hold you in the mornin' light
And show you just how good it all can be
So if you want my love
Then take my love
And never set me free
I need you so, oh darlin' sleep with me
Sleep with me and be mine tonight
I only wanna hold you in the mornin' light
So won't you sleep with me
Baby, won't you sleep with me
I need your lovin' baby, sleep with me

Cool 101 / 1986
A dj in cleveland brought some bands to town
When the music got started
They tore the house down
People said everybody just went out of control
Alan freed grabbed a mike and called it rock and roll
They started bandstand in philly back in '55
And elvis rock-a-billy brought memphis alive
L.a. gave us surfers and detroit's got soul
But there's only one home of rock and roll
And kids a hundred thousand strong
Burned the phone lines all night long
To send a message loud and clear
In the u.s.a., I said, the rock stops here
The rock stops here
Little richard brought miss molly
The rock stops here
Peggy sue's with buddy holly
The rock stops here
Everybody's gettin' down
The rock stops here
"oww!" here comes the great james brown
The rock stops here
Chuck berry's with "maybelline"
The rock stops here
Jerry lee's piano's screamin'
The rock stops here
Elvis singin' "blue suede shoes"
I need a shot of rock-a-billy
With my rhythm and blues
They looked from new york to l.a. to find the spot
Every city in the nation took their very best shot
When the dust all settled, one city stood tall
And they knew who deserved the rock and roll hall
So to prove the facts they already knew
They took a nationwide poll
That made the front page news
When the votes were counted, the results all showed
In cleveland, we eat, sleep and drink rock and roll
Kids a hundred thousand strong
Shouted, "put the hall where it belongs"
Now here's the message loud and clear
In the u.s.a., you know the rock stops here
I said the rock stops here
Cathy's clown's with don and phil
The rock stops here
Fats is up on blueberry hill
The rock stops here
Ray charles shoutin' "what'd I say"
The rock stops here
And sam cooke is "twistin' the night away"
The rock stops here
Elvis doin' "jailhouse rock"
The rock stops here
Chuck berry doin' the duck walk
The rock stops here
Little richard's singin' "woooo"
I said, "wop-bomp-a-loo-bop ba-lomp-bam-boom"
Kids a hundred thousand strong
Shouted, "put the hall where it belongs"
Here's the message loud and clear
In the u.s.a., I said the rock stops here
The rock stops here
Little richard brought miss molly
The rock stops here
Peggy sue's with buddy holly
The rock stops here
Everybody's gettin' down

At every radio station
The rock stops here
Say it loud and clear

You've got your cocaine in your Gucci shoes
You've got your Palm Springs tan in the New York News
You don't like champagne but you take another sip
Inside your private club for the tragically hip
And tonight's just another
In an endless string of one more nights
You need some lovin' to get you through the night
You need some good man to make you feel right
You need that tender touch in the red dawn light
You need some lovin' to get'cha through the night
You're lookin' for a romance
But you're in the wrong place
You feel that hunger but you know you can't taste
So you find some substitute but it leaves you so cold
Too many heartaches, well, they're making you old
And tonight's just another
In an endless string of one more nights
You need some lovin' to get you through the night
You need some good man to make you feel right
You need that tender touch in the red dawn light
You need some lovin' to get'cha through the night
Sailin' 'round the room on your vanity
Dreamin' your unlimited dreams
But your stockings kinda look a little
Frayed around the seams
Here comes tomorrow, it's later than you think
You blew your brains out in the bathroom sink
Look in the mirror and see between the lines
You can run forever but you can't stop time
And tonight's just another
In an endless string of one more nights
You need some lovin' to get you through the night
You need some good man to make you feel right
You need some tender touch in the red dawn light
You need some lovin' to get'cha through the night
Get'cha through the night
Get'cha through the night
Get'cha through the night

Took me so long to get up my courage
Never thought she'd give me a chance
Took her out and told her I loved her
Then she put my hand in her pants
And she said, "Come on, take me
I want your love to break me
Make it like it's never been before
Because, tonight you're mine
I've been waitin' such a long, long time
For tonight, I got you all to myself
Tonight, I know there's no one else
Because, tonight you're mine
Tonight you're mine"
She woke up at four in the morning
Whispered to me, "Let's do it again"
I felt strange like somethin' was missin'
Love is always pleasure and pain
But I said, "Come on, take me
I want your love to break me
Make it like it's never been before
Because, tonight you're mine, sugar
I've been waitin' such a long, long time
For tonight, I know there's no one else
For tonight, I got you all to myself
Because, tonight you're mine
Tonight you're mine"
Was it somethin' we forgot to say
That took romance away
Can it be that now the feeling's gone
You know I can't be wrong
It took me so long
Because, tonight you're mine
I've been waitin' such a long, long time
For tonight, I know there's no one else
Well tonight, I got you all to myself
Because, tonight you're mine, yeah
Tonight you're mine, yeah
Tonight you're mine
Tonight you're mine, yeah
Tonight you're mine, yeah
I've been waitin' such a long, long time
For tonight, I know there's no one else
Well tonight, oh, I got you all to myself
Because, tonight you're mine, sugar
Tonight you're mine, yeah

You used to touch me
Baby, now your touch has turned so cold
You used to want me
Now baby, you just want to let me go
And I can see I'm losing you now
And I don't wanna
No, I don't wanna be just
Someone that you loved before
Baby, please don't let me be
Someone you don't love no more
Just tell me we could make it right
'Cause I'd do anything
To hold you in my arms and then
Hear you say
You're back in love with me again
Is it over?
Baby, are we over now for good?
I know you're goin'
If I could make you stay you know I would
If I could just get through to you now
'Cause I don't wanna
No I don't wanna be just
Someone that you loved before
Baby, please don't let me be
Someone you don't love no more
Just tell me we could make it right
'Cause I'd do anything
To hold you in my arms and then
Hear you say
You're back in love with me again
Baby, can't we give it one more try?
'Cause I don't wanna be the one you leave behind
Baby, I don't wanna be just
Someone that you loved before
Baby, tell me I could be
Someone you could love once more
Just tell me we could make it right
'Cause I'd do anything
To hold you in my arms and then
Hear you say
You're back in love with me again
Someone that you loved before
Baby, tell me I could be
Someone you could love once more

I went back to my class reunion
I was wondering how my friends have changed
I was thinking bought a certain girl
I was hoping to find there
I walked in and she caught my eye
Though she was standing with another guy
All the years seemed to fade away
Could it be she still remembered
She remembered
It was so long ago
Could we ever feel that way again
She remembered
Making love 'neath the stars
Oh, the world was so much younger then
When we kissed and my heart stood still
I said I loved her and I always will
'Cause dreams are forever
And some things you never forget
She introduced me to the guy she was with
Then I asked her if she'd like to dance
We hit the floor as the band began
our favorite old slow song
I pulled her close and to my surprise
I heard her whisper as she closed her eyes,
"God it's just like it used to be
I wasn't sure if you'd remember"
I remember
It was so long ago
Could we ever feel that way again
I remember
Making love 'neath the stars
Oh the world was so much younger then
When we kissed and my heart stood still
I said I loved her and I always will
'Cause dreams are forever
And some things you never forget
Oh darlin', please don't try and understand it
Let's be fools for one moment in time
After all, this is not as if we planned it
Just hold me close and remember
when you used to be mine
I remember when
She remembered
It was so long ago
Could we ever feel that way again
She remembered
Making love 'neath the stars
Oh the world was so much younger then
When we kissed and my heart stood still
I said I loved her and I always will
'Cause dreams are forever
And some things you never forget
Well, dreams are forever

Lovers come and lovers go
But it's never twice the same
Happiness is hard to show
When you're numb to all the pain
And I've been floatin' 'round
Like an old newspaper
Blowin' down some windy street
Feeling so alone and incomplete
But there's nowhere to hide
Where the night can't find me
Where the light of the sun can't blind me
Like the light in a woman's eyes
There's nowhere to hide
From the dream that drives me
Like a fire burning deep inside me
Oh, I know she'll be there tonight
Can the future be foretold
In a faded photograph
Can a dream be bought and sold
Well, I guess I have to laugh
Sippin' on a scotch and soda
A shadow in the corner booth
So philosophic and drunk on grown-up truth
But there's nowhere to hide
Where the night can't find me
Where the light of the sun can't blind me
Like the light in a woman's eyes
There's nowhere to hide
From the dream that drives me
Like a fire burning deep inside me
Oh, I know she'll be there tonight
Half-forgotten fragments
Of a high school dance
In the dead white hours of winter
When we loved so hard
That we thought it would never end
Tryin' to remember
How it used to feel
When a kiss was something special
And I wonder now
Will it ever be again
But there's nowhere to hide
Where the night can't find me
Where the light of the sun can't blind me
Like the light in a woman's eyes
There's nowhere to hide
From the dream that drives me
Like a fire burning deep inside me
Oh, I know she'll be there tonight
Lovers come and lovers go
But it's never twice the same
Happiness is hard to show
When you're numb to all the pain
And I've been floatin' round
Like an old newspaper
Blowin' down some windy street
Feeling so alone and incomplete
But there's nowhere to hide
Where the night can't find me
Where the light of the sun can't blind me
Like the light in a woman's eyes
There's nowhere to hide
From the dream that drives me
Like a fire burning deep inside me
Oh, I know she'll be there tonight

They say the neon lights are bright
On Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
But when you're walkin' down that street
And you ain't got enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere
They say the chicks are somethin' else
On Broadway
But lookin' at them just gives me the blues
'Cause how ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes
They say that I won't last too long
On Broadway
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home they all say
But they're dead wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit till I'm a star
On Broadway
But they're dead wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit till I'm a star
On Broadway
On Broadway
I'm gonna make it, yeah
On Broadway
I'll be a big, big man
On Broadway
I'll have my name in lights
On Broadway
Everybody gonna know me
On Broadway
All up and down Broadway

Back beat boogie got a hold on me
Make me wanna jump and shout!
Twistin' like a top, I never wanna stop tonight
You surely look like a magazine
And you can move like I never seen
Reelin' and a rockin' babe
Come on and dance with me!

So come on hold me tight
We can rock the night away
I'm a rocker, I'm a roller
I've been a boogie since I ditched the stroller
So come on hold me tight
We can rock the night away
Tight blue jeanie with the starlit face

'cause when that rhythm and blues electrifies my shoes
I get the message like it came by cable
Back beat boogie got a hold on me
And make me wanna jump and shout!
Twistin' like a top, I never wanna stop tonight
You surely look like a magazine
And you can move like I never seen
Reelin' and a rockin' babe
Come on and dance with me!
I'm a rocker, I'm a roller
I've been a boogie since I ditched the stroller
So come on hold me tight

How I wish I had my hands on you
Always want to have my hands on you
Just can't wait to have my hands on you
Bring your friend, she's welcome too
Here we go, I got my hands on you
Take it slow, I got my hands on you
Down below, I got my hands on you
(Eric Carmen)
I heard my friends
Talkin' bout your reputation
All the things you used to do
They called you cheap
Said a lot of guys had had you
Girl, I don't believe it's true, no
But it's alright
I'm not in it for the glory
Yes, it's alright
Got to know the inside story
The inside story
All about your love
About your love
Talkin' 'bout the inside story
All about your love
You say they lied
Well, it really doesn't matter
Doesn't matter what you've done
Turn off the lights
Won't you tell me that you want me
Tell me I'm the only one, yeah
'Cause it's alright
I'm not in it for the glory
Yes, it's alright
Got to know the inside story
The inside story
All about your love
About your love
Talkin' 'bout the inside story
All about your love
Listen, I don't care what's in your past
All I want is for our love to last
And I don't mind if you're a bit too fast
With me
'Cause it's alright
I'm not in it for the glory
Yes, it's alright
Got to know the inside story
I wanna know the inside story
All about your love
About your love
Talkin' 'bout the inside story
All about your love
Let me know the inside story, yeah
About your love, oh yeah
I never really understood love
No, not until I saw your face
Then I knew what I'd been missing
For all my life
I never let myself believe it
No, not till I looked into your eyes
Then I knew I found all I need
The moment that I found you
I was born to love you
Born to be right here by your side
Through all your darkest nights
I was born to love you
I'd do anything to make you mine
Until the end of time
There's no need to ever doubt it
You set my love free when you walked in the door
You changed everything
You're all that I'm living for
I was born to love you
Born to be right here by your side
Through all your darkest nights
I was born to love you
I'd do anything to make you mine
Until the end of time
You changed everything
You're all that I'm living for
I was born to love you
Born to be right here by your side
Through all your darkest nights
I was born to love you
I'd do anything to make you mine
Until the end of time
I was born to love you
Born to be right here by your side
Through all your darkest nights
I was born to love you
I'd do anything to make you mine
Until the end of time
(Bob Gaudio/Jerry Corbetta/John Bettis)
I hear you crying
Through a long distance line
Now you're finally saying
It was good to be mine
But you couldn't throw it
'Cause you didn't know it
And now
You want to come back
Come back to my love
You want to come back
Come back to my love
Bring the guitar in
When you know it's all you've got
You finally need me
Always did from the start
But you couldn't show it
'Cause you didn't know it
And now
You want to come back
Come back to my love
You want to come back
Come back to my love
So I say to you
I can't live without it
But I know it's true
And I can't have love in my life
Without you
So girl
Why don't you come back
Come back to my love
Why don't you come back
Come back to my love
Oh girl
Why don't you come back
Come back to my love
You got to come back
Come back to my love
You got to come back
(eric carmen)
My old man says success is the measure
Maybe so but I don't need the pressure
Not right now cause I got enough
Teachers tell me I don't lack the brains
Ask if I'm under some kind of strain
Well that's too much and I really can't take it
They all say that I'm not getting younger
And I'd better make up my mind
Man, you'd think I was committin' some kinda crime
'cause I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
But I want it now
When I talk they just don't wanna listen
The they push me to make some decisions
I can't wait and they wonder why
Everyone says I've got no direction
They want me sent to a house of correction
That's too much when I really can't take it
When I try to relieve my frustration
Seems like nothing I can do is right
My mind is aching and I'm sick of being so uptight
'cause I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
But I want it now
All my life they complained that I'm just a dreamer
But I can't make a move when they wound my pride
When they say it must stop they push and pull me
I don't know what to do
And it's like I'm just talking through a cell door
Some one give me a clue
'cause I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
But I want it now
I want it now
Oh, give it to me
(Eric Carmen)
A lot of empty words that I've already heard
Ain't gonna work tonight
Don't wanna talk about it anymore
'Cause that ain't gonna make things right
So now you're back again, you say it's not too late
To give it one more try
Well, I don't want to hear your lies
No, I don't want to hear your lies no more
I've got to find a way, I know, to let you go
'Cause it hurts too much
You say you'll never leave
And then, you're gone again
Oh, it hurts too much
It hurts too much, my love
I've heard it all before
I've got to tell you no, no, no
It hurts too much
You know I tried so hard
I spend so many nights
Waitin' for the phone to ring
But it's over now and I'm afraid
I don't feel much of anything
You say you want my love
You've played around enough
But now I can't forget
Well, honey there's nothing left
I ain't got nothin' left at all
I've got to find a way, I know, to let you go
'Cause it hurts too much
You say you'll never leave
And then, you're gone again
Oh, it hurts too much
It hurts too much, my love
I've heard it all before
I've got to tell you no, no, no
It hurts too much
Just when I thought I'd gotten over you
I hear you knockin' at my door
After everything you've put me through, you know
I just can't take it anymore
You say you want my love
You've played around enough
But now I can't forget
Well, honey there's nothing left
I ain't got nothin' left at all
I've got to find a
To find a way, I know, to let you go
'Cause it hurts too much
You say you'll never leave
And then, you're gone again
Oh, it hurts too much
It hurts too much, my love
I've heard it all before
I've got to tell you no, no, no
It hurts too much
Oh, it hurts too much
It hurts too much
Oh, it hurts too much
Listen when I tell you it hurts
Oh, it hurts too much
Oh mama it hurts
(david smalley)
Can't you see it's not easy?
Can't you see it's not fair?
Can't you see that I'm cryin'?
Can't you see that I care?
You got my love if you want it
Just let me know and it's there
Don't you know that it's hard to get over a heartbreak
It's not easy to do
Hard to get over a heartbreak
That's why I'm counting on you
Can't you see I've been lonely?
Can't you see I've been down?
Can't you see I tried ev'rything?
There's just no love to be found
You got my heart if you want it
But please don't fool around
Don't you know that it's hard to get over a heartbreak
It's not so easy to do
Hard to get over a heartbreak
I need your love to pull through
I didn't know it would end this way
How could you do it to me?
It didn't hurt you to say goodbye
But oh, it's killing me!
Can't you see it's not easy?
Can't you see it's not fair?
Can't you see that I'm cryin'?
Can't you see that I care?
You got my love if you want it
Just let me know and it's there
Don't you know that it's hard to get over a heartbreak
It's not easy to do
Hard to get over a heartbreak
(Michael Bolton/Doug James)
Looks like you win
It's just like you called it from the start
I let you in
Now I can't get you out of my heart
Here I am
I'm dreamin' about you night and day
Wanting you
Needing you
Hopin' you stay
All of my life
I thought I knew the taste of sweet
In my eye
My life was so complete
There you were
That same smile you wear tonight
Suddenly
This heart and me
Can't understand how
I've been living without your love
Never know how I did it so long
Living without your love
All I know is I just can't go on
Living without your love
Darlin' I've had more than enough
Living without your love
Till I found you
I never knew love could feel like this
Now that I do
I wanna make up for what I missed
Here we are
What I thought was just a dream
It's comin' true
Because of you
I know what love means
And I've been living without your love
Never know how I made it so long
Living without your love
All I know is I just can't go on
Living without your love
Darlin' I've had more than enough
Of living without your love
All the world couldn't see
But somehow you knew
Everything I ever needed
I'd find it with you
(I've been) I've been living without your love
Never know how I made it so long
Living without your love
All I know is I just can't go on
Living without your love
Darlin' I've had more than enough
(Eric Carmen)
Sometimes it's hard to know
What your heart is feelin'
And harder still to put it into words
Love is simple you can't define it
It's not the words but the thought
Behind it that counts
My girl
She's everything a lover could possibly be
My girl
Makes love the way I always dreamed
It would be
Deep down inside I know
What I should be saying
But every time I try, it comes out wrong
Well our love is a love forever
And when we're all alone together
She shows me
My girl
She's everything a lover could possibly be
My girl
Makes love the way I always dreamed
It would be
I'd need a lifetime
To show her all the love I have to give
And hold her in my heart
For as long as I live
(We'll stick together
Like the moon and the night-time
Happy forever I could spend my lifetime)
So in love with
My girl
She's everything a lover could possibly be
My girl
Makes love the way I always dreamed
(Eric Carmen)
We was young
And still believed in a "Hard Day's Night"
But no one seemed to understand
That there was no relief in sight
The company man
He's got his nose glued to the charts
He says the record's doin' fine
But now the group is fallin' apart
I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause there isn't anyone to blame
I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause nothin' ever stays the same
Well we was locked in image prison
Waitin' for that break
We was raped, reshaped and tryin' to escape
Caught in a rock and roll time warp
Just tryin' to find the way to get out
Four years on
And things were really gettin' too intense
Critics ravin' 'bout our album
But we're makin' fifty cents
And in the end
We was facin' the hard, cold truth
So tomorrow come what may
Looks like it's Ricky and The Tooth
I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause there isn't anyone to blame
I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause nothin' ever stays the same
Well we was locked in image prison
Waitin' for that break
We was raped, reshaped and tryin' to escape
Caught in a rock and roll time warp
Just tryin' to find the way to get out
We gave it everything we had to give
But it was gettin' so tough
Too much frustration makes it hard to live
I think enough is enough
I said enough is enough
I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause there isn't anyone to blame
I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause nothin' ever stay the same
While we was locked in image prison
Waitin' for that break
We was raped, reshaped and tryin' to escape
Caught in a rock and roll time warp
Just tryin' to fine the way to get out
Lemme out, lemme out
Lemme out, lemme out
I gotta get out
Lemme out, lemme out
I gotta gotta gotta get out
Lemme out
I gotta get out
Lemme out, lemme out, lemme out
(Eric Carmen)
It's been a long time comin'
But I think I've got it figured out
Sometimes the easiest things are still
The hardest ones to learn about
Well I was strugglin' so hard for my freedom
And it was there all the time
But I just couldn't see it
I think I found myself
I think I found what I'm lookin' for
I think I found myself
(Don't you know)
I think I found what I'm lookin' for
Well I got sidetracked somewhere
Though I really can't recall just when
I lost my inspiration
And I couldn't get it back again
(No)
I trusted everyone else so completely
Well I was deaf, dumb and blind
But I'll be damned if I'll let 'em defeat me
I think I found myself
(Don't you know)
I think I found what I'm lookin' for
I think I found myself
(Don't you know)
I think I found what I'm lookin' for
I'm tired of tricks and politics
And futures burning bright
I'm on the line and out of time
For once in my life
I'm gonna do what I think is right
I think I found myself
(Don't you know)
I think I found what I'm lookin' for
I think I found myself
Rememberin' our love, babe
Rememberin' the good days
The days when we both
Thought it would stay
Just thinkin' about you
So warm there beside me
I'd look in your eyes
And then you'd say
Words of love to me
Of how it would always be
And how the cloudy days
Had all gone by
But now I'm wonderin', babe
If it was all a lie?
Because it seemed so easy
When you said goodbye
I'm tryin' to see, babe
How it's gonna be?
It's useless, I know
Each day goes so slow
But I'll always try, babe
Can't accept your goodbye
I'd remember your voice
So soft as you'd sigh
Words of love to me
Of how it would always be
And how the cloudy days
Had all gone by
But now I'm wonderin', babe
If it was all a lie?
Because it seemed so easy
When you said goodbye
If I could stop
Tell my heart not to love you
I'd have no reason to go on
I'm tryin' to see, babe
How it's gonna be
It's useless, I know
Each day goes so slow
But I'll always try, babe
Can't accept your goodbye
I'd remember your voice
So soft as you'd sigh
Words of love to me
Of how it would always be
And how the cloudy days
Had all gone by
But now I'm wonderin', babe
If it was all a lie?
Because it seemed so easy
When you said goodbye
Because it seemed so easy
When you said goodbye
Because it seemed so easy
When you said goodbye
Because it seemed so easy
If we were older
We wouldn't have to be worried tonight
Baby oh, I wanna be with you so bad
(Yeah, I wanna be with you)
Oh baby I wanna be with you, oh yeah
(Yeah, I wanna be with you)
Well tonight's the night
We always knew it would feel so right
So come on baby
I just wanna be with you
Someday's a long time
And we've been waiting so long to be here
Baby oh, I wanna be with you so bad
(Yeah, I wanna be with you)
Oh baby I wanna be with you, oh yeah
(Yeah, I wanna be with you)
Well tonight's the night
We always knew it would feel so right
So come on baby
I just wanna be with you
Hold me tight
Our love could live forever after tonight
If you believe in what we're doin' is right
Close your eyes and be still, whoa, baby yeah
Baby oh, I wanna be with you so bad
(Yeah, I wanna be with you)
Oh baby I wanna be with you, oh yeah
(Yeah, I wanna be with you)
Well tonight's the night
We always knew it would feel so right
So come on baby
I just wanna be with you
Oh, I wanna be with you so bad
(Yeah, I wanna be with you)
Oh baby I wanna be with you, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Yeah, I wanna be with you)
Baby, I wanna be with you so bad
(Yeah, I wanna be with you)
Oh darlin' I want to be with you, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Yeah, I wanna be with you)
I never knew how complete love could be
Till she kissed me and said, "Baby, please go all the way
It feels so right being with you here tonight
Please go all the way, just hold me close, don't ever let me go"
I couldn't say what I wanted to say till she whispered
"I love you, so please go all the way
It feels so right being with you here tonight
Please go all the way, just hold me close, don't ever let me go"
Before her love I was cruel and mean
I had a hole in the place where my heart should have been
But now I've changed and it feels so strange
I come alive when she does all those things to me
And she says, come on, come on
Come on I need you, I love you, I need you
My, my, girl
Please go all the way
It feels so right being with you here tonight
Please go all the way, just hold me close
Don't ever let me go, oh no
(eric carmen)
I can't begin to count the times
I have been by myself
I lie wake my lonely room
Tells me there's no one else
No one else
I reach for the light
It shines above my head
Reveals the bed that you're not in
I reach for the light
It shines across the room
And brings to mind what might have been
I tell myself I'm better off
No one can have me now
I see your crumpled photograph
It makes me laugh aloud
Laugh aloud
I reach for the light
It shines above my head
Reveals the bed that you're not in
I reach for the light
It shines across the room
And brings to mind what might have been
And I wish I could forget
How good you look, tonight
When you smiled at me
And walked away with him
Oh, oh no!
I reach for the light
It shines above my head
Reveals the bed that you're not in
I reach for the light
It shines across the room
And brings to mind what might have been
I reach for the light, now
(I reach for the light)
I tell myself I'm better off
No one can hurt me now
(I reach for the light)
I see your crumpled photograph
It makes me laugh aloud
(I reach for the light)
I lay wake my lonely room
Tells me there's no one there
Sparrow, say that love's a game
Win or lose, it's all the same
If it leaves, it comes again
I don't understand
Never let her be too sure
That would be so immature
Keep her guessing, that's the way
To show you really love her
I'd like to stop these guessing games
If it's all the same to you
'Cause when they're done
If you are gone
You know you'll make me feel so bad now
Sparrow, sparrow, love's a game
I don't understand
I'd like to stop these guessing games
If it's all the same to you
'Cause when they're done
If you are gone
You know you'll make me blue
(Feel so bad now)
(You know you'll make me feel so bad now)
Sparrow, say it's time to go
If you care, don't let it show
Hide it so she'll never know
Then she can't hurt you
Well I know it sounds funny
But I'm not in it for the money, no
I don't need no reputation
And I'm not in it for the show
I just want a hit record
Want to hear it on the radio
Want a big hit record
One that everybody's got to know
Well the program director don't pull it
Then it's bound to get back the bullet
So bring the group down to the station
You're gonna be an overnight sensation
I've been tryin' to write the lyric
Not offensive but satiric, too
If you can get it in the A slot
It's just gotta make a mint for you
And I want a hit record
Want to hear it on the radio
Want a big hit record
One that everybody's got to own
Overnight sensation
I fit the words to a good melody
Amazing how success has been ignoring me so long
I've used my bread making demos all day
And writing in the night while in my head I hear
The record play, hear it play
Hit record, yeah
Want a hit record, yeah
Want a hit record, yeah
Want a hit record, yeah
Once I could find my way
But that was yesterday
Believe me, it's not easy
I am waiting
Another day goes by
You ask me why I cry
Believe me, it's not easy
I've been waiting all my life
I said, "I've been waiting all my life
For love to show her face"
When will I know, how will I know
Where to take my place?
When love was in her eyes
I had to pass it by
Believe me, it's not easy
I'd been waiting all my life
She said, "I've been waiting all my life
For love to show his face"
When will I know, how will I know
Where to take my place?
Once I could find my way
But that was yesterday
Believe me, it's not easy
Wakin' up
And the sun is in my eyes
Temperature is rising
It's so hot
Shake it up
I go racing through the streets
Howling in the heat
And you know why
Girls in cars are driving through the city
Breaking hearts, but looking awful pretty
Baby, not so fast
Make the summer last
Top down summer
Are you ready for love?
Top down summer
We can drive to forever tonight
Hey baby, the right time's finally here
The top down time of the year
Take your Mustang off the blocks
Ain't nobody walks when it's so hot
Me and you
We can ride to town in style
Flash 'em all a smile
And you know what
I'm so high whenever we're together
I wish we could feel this way forever
Love is weatherproof
C'mon raise the roof
Top down summer
Are you ready for love?
Top down summer
We can drive to forever tonight
Hey baby, the right time's finally here
The top down time of the year
Are we close enough to touch
(Baby, let me show you how)
It's too hot to wear too much
(It's too late to turn back now)
Top down summer
Are you ready for love?
Top down summer
We can drive to forever tonight
Hey baby, the right time's finally here
The top down time of the year
Top down summer
Are you ready for love?
Top down summer
We can drive to forever tonight
Hey baby, the right time's finally here
The top down time of the year
Top down summer
Are you ready for love?
Top down summer
We can drive to forever tonight
Hey baby, the right time's finally here
The top down time of the year
Top down summer
Are you ready for love?
Top down summer
We can drive to forever tonight
Hey baby, the right time's finally here
The top down time of the year
Top down summer
Are you ready for love?
Top down summer
We can drive to forever tonight
Hey baby, the right time's finally here
When you smiled at me
And I saw your eyes
All I ever wanted to be
Was in your arms tonight
You looked too young to know about romance
(Oh, yes you did)
But when you smiled I had to take a chance
I had to take a chance and be with you tonight
I'll be with you tonight
Tonight, you'll love me too, tonight
Woh, baby, tonight, I'll make love to you
(Woh, tonight)
Bop om, doo don, o mop, shoop
(Woh, tonight)
You're gonna love me, too, tonight!
I don't know myself
If it's wrong or right
All I know is what I can feel
So be my love tonight
You looked too young to know about romance
(Oh, yes you did)
But when you smiled I had to take a chance
I had to take a chance and be with you tonight
I'll be with you tonight
Tonight, you'll love me too, tonight
Woh, baby, tonight, I'll make love to you
(Woh, tonight)

(Oh, tonight)
I just wanna make you feel good inside, baby
(Oh, tonight)
Let me feel the love that's in you
(Oh, tonight)
Come on, come on
Come on and let me come on, baby
Well I was sixteen
And sick of school
I didn't know what I wanted to do
I bought a guitar, I got the fever
That's rock 'n roll
I played at parties, played in bars
I spent my money buyin' new guitars
I screamed my heart out, but how I loved it
That's rock 'n roll
Well, come on everybody
Get down and get with it
Come on everybody
Get down and get with it
Come on everybody
Get down, that's rock 'n roll
It's when the smokin' and the heat
Have got your heart pounding
Right with the beat
Don't try to fight it, just get excited
That's rock 'n roll
Well it's the roadies
And the crowd
It's when the bands playin' way too loud
Your hips are shakin', ain't no mistakin'
That's rock 'n roll
Well, come on everybody
Get down and get with it
Come on everybody
Get down and get with it
Come on everybody
Get down, that's rock 'n roll

'Bout bein' a star
It doesn't matter who or what you are
Just get the rhythm and let it fill ya
That's rock 'n roll
And if you feel it, clap your hands
Let's see some sweat for the boys in the band
Now lemme hear ya, lemme hear ya
That's rock 'n roll
Everybody get down and get with it
Come on everybody

Get my guitar
Get the car I'm gonna take a little strip out of town
Gotta go do a show
Rock and roll until I'm upside down
(I see the light)
I see the light, hear the crowd
Clappin' loud, they want the show to start
Oh, and now the stage is dark
Mmm, I can feel my heart, can't you feel your heart?
Spotlight, lighting the stage
I gotta go a little crazy tonight
Spotlight, take me away
I'm gonna rock till I feel alright
Here it comes
Feel the drums pound the rhythm of a jungle beat
And all around
Hear the sounds that go up and down the city street
(Play that guitar)
Play that guitar, play it hard
Open up and let it move your soul
Oh, I'm goin' out of control
I'm goin' out of control, can't you feel it grow?
Spotlight, lighting the stage
I gotta go a little crazy tonight
Spotlight, take me away
I'm gonna rock till I feel alright
Spotlight, give me the heat
I'm gonna burn like a star in the sky
Spotlight, I'm gonna explode now
I'm ready to go, I'm ready to go
Alright
Spotlight, lighting the stage
I gotta go a little crazy tonight
Spotlight, take me away
I'm gonna rock till I feel alright
Spotlight, give me the heat
I wanna burn like a star in the sky
Spotlight, I wanna explode now
(Yeah)
I'm ready to go, I'm ready to go
Alright, alright, alright, alright
(Give it to me)
Spotlight, feel the drums pound the rhythm of a jungle beat
Spotlight, can't you feel it, feel it, feel it, feel it?
She was just an average blue-eyed golden high school dream
An illusion nothing real could ever touch
Funny love seemed so much more intense at seventeen
When I knew she'd never love me half as much
I recall the desperate vow I made
I must find a way somehow to win her heart
I've got to make her mine
Gonna run away till I prove that I'm a man
Gonna run away, be the best I know I can
Got to run away, got to find my space and time
And I cannot rest a day until I make her mine
Trades were made for promises of a timeless memory
And I knew but still refused to comprehend
The fantasy more glamorous then she could ever be
Was the course of least resistance in the end
I recall the desperate vow I made
I must find a way somehow to win her heart
I've got to make her mine
Gonna run away till I prove that I'm a man
Gonna run away, be the best I know I can
Got to run away, got to find my space and time
And I cannot rest a day until I make her mine
Long ago an innocence lived deep within my soul
In a yesterday where love and dreams remain
But disillusion clouds my eyes and the winter takes it's toll
For the spring has gone and will not come again
I recall the desperate vow I made
I must find a way somehow to win her heart
I've got to make her mine
Gonna run away till I prove that I'm a man
Gonna run away, be the best I know I can
Got to run away, got to find my space and time
And I cannot rest a day until I make her mine
Got to run away
Got to find my space and time
We went runnin? out where the stars are born
We came crashin? down in flames
I could be right you could be wrong
We could be anything at all
But tonight at least I?m sure
I know this rain will pass
We need a reason to try again
I know this pain won?t last
We can find those dreams again, I know
We went screamin? into the dead of night
We were kicking down the door
Now we can go back, we can go on
We can do anything we want
Anything we want and more
I know this rain will pass
We need a reason to try again
I know this pain won?t last
We can find those dreams again, I know
We need a reason to smile again, I know
We need a reason to try again
I could be right
You could be wrong
We could be anything at all
But tonight at least I?m sure
I know this rain will pass
We need a reason to try again
I know this pain won?t last
We can find those dreams again, I know
We need a reason to smile again, I know
We need a reason to try, I know
I know this rain will pass
We need a reason to try again
I know this pain won?t last
We can find those dreams again
I know this rain will pass
We need a reason to try again
I know this pain won?t last
I can't sleep nights
Wishing you were here beside me
Can't help feeling
That's the way it ought to be
You know we could run away
And I couldn't bear to hear
The things they'd say, oh no
Baby, let's pretend
That tonight could live forever
If we close our eyes
And believe, it might come true
Baby, let's pretend
We could always be together
But for now just let me
Spend the night with you
Somehow, someday
Things are gonna be so different
Don't cry, some way
I promise it will be all right
So now that we're all alone
I couldn't bear
To ever take you home, oh no
Baby, let's pretend
That tonight could live forever
If we close our eyes
And believe, it might come true
Baby, let's pretend
We could always live together
But for now just let me
Spend the night with you
So take me now
My love can't wait
We're almost there now darlin'
Darlin' hold me, hold me, hold me
Baby, let's pretend
That tonight could live forever
If we close our eyes
And believe, it might come true
Baby, let's pretend
We could always live together
But for now just let me
Spend the night with you
Baby, let's pretend
That tonight could live forever
If we close our eyes
And believe, it might come true
Baby, let's pretend
We could always be together
But for now just let me
I think, I'll stay at home tonight
Just play some records and catch up on some sleep
Sometimes I like to be alone
I've been so busy, maybe someone will drop by
Last night when I went to bed
I was lonely
Last night when I went to bed
I was so blue
But that's the last night
Yeah, that's the last night
Well, that's the last night
I'm gonna lose any sleep over you
I waited for the phone to ring and when it didn't
I turned on the Carson show
I lit another cigarette and dialed your number
But there was no one at home
Last night when I went to bed
I was lonely
Last night when I went to bed
I was so blue
But that's the last night
Yeah, that's the last night
Well, that's the last night
I'm gonna lose any sleep over you
I walked across the street
To the drugstore and I bought a magazine
Then I came back home
And read it through
Last night when I went to bed
I was lonely
Last night when I went to bed
I was so blue
But that's the last night
Yeah, that's the last night
Well, that's the last night
I'm gonna lose any sleep over you
I think, I'll stay at home tonight
Just play some records
I can remember summer skies and your eyes
And in September when I first realized
That I needed you to be the other half of me
And my love long locked inside itself had finally been set free
I can remember autumn skies and goodbyes
Hurting so badly that I thought I would die
But the more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
And the lonely ones get lonelier with every passing day
From the day we met I knew that
I should never let you get a hold on me
'Cause now you see I can't forget you
Oh I, I can remember mid summer skies, love in your eyes
In the spring the sun will shine and make
The ice surrender but it will not warm
My heart as long as I remember
Oh I, I can remember mid summer skies, love in your eyes
And I, I will remember the times I've cried
Since you said goodbye, I nearly died when you said
I, I can't let you down any more
So I guess this is goodbye
What, what did you do it for?
Every time I think of you and him together
I break down and cry
Oh I, I can remember the tears I've cried
Since you said goodbye
I, I can remember the tears I've cried
Since you said goodbye
I can remember
I can remember
