Anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young
You know I just looked around and he's gone
Anybody here seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young
I just looked around and he's gone
The Tears of a Clown
--------------------
Smokey Robinson & The Miracles
Now if there's a smile on my face,
it's only there tryin' to fool the public,
but when it comes down to foolin' you;
Now honey, that's quite a different subject.
But don't let my glad expression
give you the wrong impression.
Really I'm sad.
I'm sadder than sad.
You're gone and I'm hurtin' so bad.
Like a clown I pretend to be glad.
(chorus)
Now there's some sad things known to man,
but ain't too much sadder than
the tears of a clown
when there's no one around.
Now if I appear to be carefree,
it's only to camouflage my sadness.
In order to SHIELD my pride I try
to cover the hurt with a show of gladness.
But don't let my show convince you
that I've been happy since you
decided to go.
Oh, I need you so.
I'm hurt and I want you to know.
(chorus)
Just like Pagliacci did,
I try to keep my sadness hid.
smilin' in the public eye
while in my lonely room I cry
the tears of a clown
(spoken)
When I became of age
my mother called me to her side
She said "Son, you're growing up now
pretty soon you'll take a bride."
(sung)
And then she said
Just because you've
become a young man now
(Man now)
There's still some things
that you don`t understand now
(Son now)
Before you ask some girl
for her hand now (My son)
Keep your freedom for as
long as you can now
My mama told me
You better shop around
(Shop, shop around) a woh-yeah
You better (uh-huh) shop around
(Shop-shop around)
Uh-uh-uh
There's some things that
I want you to know now
(Uh-huh-ooo)
A-just as sure as the
wind's gonna blow now
(Uh-huh-ooo)
The women come and the
women gonna go now
(Uh-huh-ooo)
Before you tell 'em that
you love 'em so now
My mama told me
You better shop around`
(Shop, shop around) woh-yeah
You better (uh-huh) shop around
(Shop, shop around)
A-gotta get yourself a bargain son
Don't be sold on the very first one
Pretty girls come a dime a dozen
A-try to find one who's gonna
give ya true lovin
(Uh-huh-ooo)
Before you take a girl
and say "I do" now`
(Uh-huh)
A-make sure shes in love
a with you now
My mama told me
(you better shop around)
(instrumental)
Oh-hey-hey-hey
(ooooh)
Try to get yourself a bargain son
Don't be sold on the very first one
(First one, first one)
A-pretty girls come a dime a dozen
A-try to find one who's gonna
give ya true lovin'
(Uh-huh-ooo)
Before you take a girl
and say "I do" now (uh-huh)
Make sure she's in
love with-a you now (uh-huh)
Make sure that her
love is true now (uh-huh)
I'd hate to see you feelin'
sad and blue now
My mama told me
You better shop around
(Shop, shop around)
Uh-huh don`t let the
first one get you
(Shop, shop around)
Oh no, cause I don't
wanna see her with you
(Uh-huh) before you let
'em hold you tight
A yeah-yeah make
sure she's alright
Uh-huh
Before you let 'em take
your hand my son
Understand my son
Be a man my son
I know you can my son
la la la la
I did you wrong
my heart went out to play
But in the game
I lost you
What a price to pay
I'm cryin'
Ooh baby baby
Ooh baby baby
Mistakes, I know
I've made a few
But I'm only human
you've made mistakes too
Im cryin'
Ooh baby baby
Ooh baby baby
I'm just about at
the end of my rope
But I can't stop tryin'
I can't give up hope
Cause I feel that one day
I'll hold you near
whisper "I still love you"
Until that day is here
ooh, I'm crying
Ooh baby baby
Ooh baby baby
Ooh baby baby
Oh, yeah....
Chorus:
(I,I,)I'm just a love machine and I won't work for nobody but you
(I,I )I'm just a love machine .............. A hugging kissing fiend
Verse # 1
I think it's high time you knew
Whenever I think of you
My mind blows a fuse
When I lookIn your eyes
My meter starts to rise
And I become confused
My motor cranked electric goes
When I'm sitting next to you
Electricity starts to flow
And my indicator starts to glow
Repeat chorus
Verse#2
I'm gentle as a lamb
I'm not that hard to program
There's no way that you can lose
Chassis fits like a glove
I've got a button for love
That you've got to use (push it push it baby)
If you look into my power
I am sure you can find out how
To turn me on just set my dial
And let me love you for a little while ooooooh
Repeat chorus
La... La la la la..... La la la la.. La la
La la la la la.. La la la.... La la laaaaaaaaa
Push it push it baby, yeah......ah, ah
Repeat chorus
I will build you a castle with a tower so high
It reaches the moon
I'll gather melodies from birdies that fly
And compose you a tune
I'll give you lovin' warm as Mama's oven
And if that don't do
Then I'll try something new
I will take you away with me as far as I can
To Venus or Mars
There we will love with your hand in my hand
You'll be queen of the stars
And every day we can play on the Milky Way
And if that don't do
Then I'll try something new
I will bring you a flower from the floor of the sea
To wear in your hair
I'll do anything and everything to keep you happy
To show you that I care
I'll pretend I'm jealous of all the fellas
And if that don't do
Then I'll try something new
I'll take the stars and count 'em and move a mountain
And if that don't do I'll try something new
I'll tell the moon above it's you that I love
If it don't do I'll try something new...
Oh you may not love me now, but I'm stayin' around
'Cause you want my company
Just like push can turn to shove, like can turn to love
& it's my philosophy that...
CHORUS:
If you can want, you can need
& if you can need, you can care
If you can care, you can love
So when you want me, I'll be there
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
Oh now this may take some time, but if time was money
I would be a millionaire
So whenever you want me, call any time at all
& for sure I'll be right there, 'cause...
(chorus)
(I'll be there) whenever you want me
(instrumental)
I'll be standin' by, not far way
Let your heart give me a sign
'Cause I'm prepared to wait until I abfiducate
When you want me all the time, 'cause...
(repeat & fade):
(chorus)
(I'll be there) whenever you want me
Clap your hands now everybody
we're gonna have some fun tonight
we're gonna sing, shout, knock ourselves out
everything's gonna be alright (alright)
Now let the bassman start playin',
he's gonna come in right on time
he's gonna add a beat to make you pat your feet
everything's gonna work out fine (work out fine)
And he can say I like it like that (I like it like that)
I like it like that (I like it like that)
oh, that's where it's at and I like it like that
Now after a man finds hisself a woman
she doesn't have to be a beauty queen
and then she holds you tight, she makes you feel alright
any man that I've ever seen
He's got to say, I like it like that (I like it like that)
oh, I like it like that (oh, I like it like that)
oh, that, I'm trying to tell you (oh, that's where it's at, that's where
it's at, oh, that's where it's at) and I like it like that
I like it like that (I like it like that)
I like it like that (I like it like that)
I like it like that (I like it like that)
Now I know why my mama, taught me to be true
She just a know one day that you would come my way
and I would fall in love with you
And you could say I like it like that (I like it like that)
oh, I like it like that (oh, I like it like that)
(oh, that's (I'm trying to tell you)where it's at, that's where it's at,
oh that's where it's at) Everybody sing now (fade)(that's where it's at)
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool
No no no no no
I'm only payin' the price for a trip I took to paradise
'Cause I looked into a pair of eyes
& what I thought was the look of love was only hurt in disguise
Too bad I didn't realize, oh but don't apologize, no, 'cause...
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
I should've did it myself
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool
No no no no no
I think it's pretty plain: holdin' you would take a ball & chain
Every bet I made was all in vain
'Cause what I thought was an ocean of love was just a wee drop of rain
Too bad that it couldn't rain, oh but you don't have to explain, no, 'cause...
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
I should've did it myself
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool
No no no no no
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
That's the thing to do
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool
No no no no no
(instrumental)
I said, what I thought was sure to last, to last was just a minute instead
Too bad that I got misled, ah but you don't have to hang your head, no, 'cause...
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
I should've did it myself
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool
No no no no no
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
'Cause that's the thing to do
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool
No no no no no
...& fade
Everyday, I'm gonna love become what may

to a woman than a love that she can count on
Yeah oh oh oh oh ooh
Darling dear yeah (ooh ooh ooh)

Extraordinary people

In this world of over-rated pleasures
Of under-rated treasures
I'm so glad there is you
I live to love, I love to live with you beside me
This role so new, I'll muddle through with you to guide me
In this world where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you
In this world where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you
I don't like you, but I love you
Seems that I'm always thinkin' of you
You treat me badly, I love you madly
You've really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
Baby, I don't want you, but I need you
Don't wanna kiss you, but I need to
You do me wrong now, my love is strong now
You've really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
Baby, I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hole me
Tighter, tighter
I wanna leave you, don't wanna stay here
Don't wanna spend another day here
I wanna split now, I can't quit now
You've really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
Baby, I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hole me
(Please, squeeze)
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
I said you really got a hold on me
(I said you really got a hold on me)
You know, you really got a hold on me
(You know, you really got a hold on me)
You know, you really got a hold on me
(You know, you really got a hold on me)
I said you really got a hold on me
(I said you really got a hold on me)
You know, you really got a hold on me
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion -
Is nothing new
Flashback - warm nights -
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories,
Time after -
Sometimes you picture me -
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said -
Then you say - go slow -
I fall behind -
The second hand unwinds
[Chorus:]
If you're lost you can look - and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you - I'll be waiting
Time after time
After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows - you're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time -
[Chorus]
You said go slow -
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds -
[Chorus]
If you're lost...
...Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
You may dismiss me as unimportant.
A guy who's only in the corner of your eye.
Right now I know I'm just a?
I'm just an easy friend on whom you can depend.
But darling, there will come a day,
Oh, when you look at me, my baby, another way.
While you're relaxing, I'm gonna happen to you.
Oohhhh.
Oh baby, oh baby.
Ewwww ohhh ohh baby.
Yeah.
I only see you in little glimpses.
We work together in a world of?
I'm only dreamin' of champagne kisses.
You pass right by me, honey.
But girl, there will come a day, baby,
When you look at me, my baby, another way.
While you're relaxing, I'm gonna happen to you.
You, you...
There will come a great big day, yeah,
When you look at me, my baby, another way.
There will come day, baby.
Look at me, look at me...
There will come a time, baby,
When I'll be yours, you'll be mine, baby.
Midnight sun, shining through my darkest night
Noonday shadow, blocking out my morning light
You don't even know What I'm talking about
It's what you do when you're just being you
How can you be daylight & darkness, at the same time, oh baby
How can you be daylight & darkness, at the same time
Flaming candle hey, burning in your sweet desire
Eyes of coal, hard to handle
Back and forward from ice to fire
You don't even know what you're putting me through
With all these bitter sweet things that you do
How can you bee daylight & darkness, at the same time, oh
How can you be daylight & darkness at the same time
O baby, oh baby
You don't even know what I'm talking about
It's just your way baby, that's what you say
How can you be daylight & darkness... same time
How can you be daylight & darkness, at the same time
Ah daylight, daylight, daylight... daylight
Ooo hoo, darkness, darkness, darkness... time
How can you be daylight & darkness, at the same time
Same time, same time, my baby
the weekend is near
youre planning what to do
the parents are out
theres a party at stews
your discussing at lunch
talking to your friend
telling him how you want some beer
how you want school to end
the clock in your face
sitting in your last class
todays a friday
you need some beer in your glass
the bell just wrang
so you run to your car
you tell the boys to come over
so you make your house look like a bar
youre bearly under-age
so you need a pull-out
get me mickeys and corona
If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry, each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe that you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve, in private
Cause each time that I see you, I break down and cry
Walk on by, walk on by (don't stop), just walk on by (don't stop)
Coz I just can't get over losing you
And if I seem, broken and blue
Walk on by (just walk on by), walk on by (just walk on by)
Foolish pride, is all I have left
So let me hide the tears and all the sadness
That you gave me when you said goodbye
And walked on by (don't stop), and walked on by (don't stop),
Just walk on by, just walk on by
Walk on by (just walk on by, walk on by (just walk on by)
Foolish pride is all I have left
So let me hide these tears and all the sadness
That you gave me when you said goodbye
Just walk on by (don't stop), just walk on by (don't stop)
Now you really gotta go so walk on by
Said you really gotta go so walk on by
Baby leave me never see the tears I cry
Soft and warm a quiet storm
Quiet as when flowers talk at break of dawn, break of dawn
A power source of tender force generatin', radiatin'
Turn me on, turn them on
You short-circuit all my nerves
Promising electric things
You touch me and suddenly there's rainbow rings
Quiet storm, blowin' through my life
Oh, quiet storm, blowin' through my life
Oh, blow baby
Windy sigh, weaken my
Butterfly caught up in a hurricane, hurricane
Lucky me, I'm better free
Suddenly I'm caught up in your somber rain
Shower me with your sweet love
I will bathe in every drop
Through all the seasons let it pour and never stop
Quiet storm, blowin' through my life, through my life
You're just like a quiet storm, blowin' through my life
Shower me with your sweet love
I will bathe in every drop
Through all the seasons let it pour and never stop
Quiet storm, blowin' through my life, through my life
You're just like a quiet storm, blowin' through my life
Strollin' down the lane at midnight
Old fashioned love
Steal a little kiss in the moonlight
Old fashioned love
You're the love of my life
The girl of my dreams
I count on youYou can count on me
We got an old fashioned love
It's so hard to find
This one of a kind
Old fashioned love
Gotta be true to each other
Old fashioned love
Never hurt one another
Old fashioned love
Just like in the movies
But we're not pretending
Always and forever
Our love's one happy ending
We got an old fashioned love
It's so hard to find
This one of a kind
Hmm, hmm, yeah
Special occasion
Like when you dress up in your tie and tails
Yeah, yeah, special occasion
Every time and it never fails
To give me a thrill that's fresh and new
Every time I'm kissing you
It's something that you do
That makes every time you kiss me
A real special occasion
Like one that calls for a toast of champagne
Yeah, yeah, yeah, special occasion
Every time and it's hard to explain
How the same old touch from the same old hand
Can make me feel like a different man
I just can't understand
But every time you touch me
It's a real special occasion
Yeah, yeah special occasion
Oh, oh yeah, hmm hmm, yeah
Ooh, beautiful music begins to play
You are the sun that brightens up my day
Why don't you stay? 'Cause every time I'm with you
It's a real special occasion
Like when in school you get your cap and gown
Yeah, now it's a real special occasion
And every time that you come around
Really gonna miss you
It's really gonna be different without you
Time came when you had to go
For the rest of my life
Gonna be thinking about you
(Yes, I am)
I'll miss you my buddy
I'll miss you my friend
I promise my love for you will never end
In your finest hour, I was there with you
And without you things won't be the same
But there's a higher power that we answer to
And you heard Him calling your name
Really gonna miss you
Everything about you, your smiling face
I know you want us all to be strong
Really gonna miss you
I know you're going to that magic place
Singing you a brand new song
I'll miss you my buddy
I'll miss you my friend
I promise my love for you will never end
Maybe you want to
give me kisses sweet
But only for one
night with no repeat
Maybe you'd go away
and never call
And a taste of honey is
worse than none at all
(oh little girl)
(chorus)
Oh little girl
in that case I
don't want no part
I do believe that
that would only
break my heart
Oh, but if you feel
like loving me
if you got the notion
I second that emotion
Said, if you feel like giving me
a lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
Maybe you think that love
would tie you down
You ain't got the
time to hang around
Maybe you think that
love was made for fools
So it makes you wise
to break the rules
(chorus)
Maybe you want to
give me kisses sweet
But only for one
night with no repeat
Maybe you'd go away
and never call
And a taste of honey is
worse than none at all
(oh little girl)
(chorus)
Maybe you think that love
would tie you down
You ain't got the
time to hang around
Maybe you think that
love was made for fools
So it makes you wise
to break the rules
Love love love you baby
Love love love you baby love you
Well I can't give you anything but love baby
That's the only thing I've plenty of baby
You dream awhile and you scheme awhile
You're sure to find happiness and
I guess all the things you think are fine
Gee I'd like to see you looking swell baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworth won't sell to you baby
Til the lucky day you know darn well baby
I can't give you anything but love
Gee I'd like to see you looking swell baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworth ain't gonna sell to you baby
Til the lucky day you know darn well baby
Look what you've done
You made a fool out of someone
(Out of someone)
You thought love was true
And found out that you we're just having fun
(Just having fun)
And oh, why do you wanna make me blue
After all, I've been good to you
(I've been good to you)
Oh, yes I have
And I recall the time
You needed someone and I made you mine
You needed a friend
So I took you in and treated you so kind
And on, why do you wanna make me blue
After, after all, I've been good to you
(I've been good to you)
Oh, yes I have
And you know I've always been around
And I never, never, never let you down
And now you're telling me that you must go
You know that you're hurting me so
But there, there come a time
One day, one day, one day you gonna wake up and find
You'll come back to me on your bending knee
And you're gonna be crying
And oh, believe me, what I say is true, baby
After all, Lord I've been good to you
(I've been good to you)
Everyday and every way
(I've been good to you)
You know, you know, you know, baby
I've been so good
I'm on the outside looking in
And I wanna be, and I wanna be back on the inside with you
You are with somebody new and I don't know what to do
'Cause I'm still in love with you
I'm on the outside looking in
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be left on the outside all alone
Well, I guess I've had my day and you let me go my way
Now it's me who has to pay
I never should have gone away
I never should have gone away and left you like I did
With tears in your eye, oh, I thought you'd take me back
But to my surprise
I'm on the outside looking in
Gotta find a way, gotta find a way back to your heart, dear, once again
Won't you take me back again? I'll be waiting here till then
On the outside looking in
Won't you take me back again? I'll be waiting here till then
On the outside looking in
Love is five foot somethin' with flashin' eyes
Irresistible merchandise
Love is walkin' towards me with open arms
Settin' off my desire alarm
Yes, it's you lady, love is you lady, hey
Yes, it's you who can do the same old things
And make me feel good every time
Fun is magic moments for two, it seems
Sharin' intimate secret dreams
Fun is ten more seconds of touchin'
We never seem to get too much and
Yes, it's you lady, yeah, fun is you lady
Yes, it's you who can do the same old things
And make me feel good every time
Every time, every time, oh
Every time is like the first for me
And I know that I will never be free from you
Free from you, free from you, free from you
Mind reader, my movin' closer is no surprise
You automatically synchronize
Mind blower blew my mind
But before I knew, I had fallen in love with you
Yes, it's you lady, oh, mind blowin' you lady, baby
Yes, it's you who can do the same old things
And make me feel good every time

Every, every, every time
Every time you make me feel good
Every time, yes, it's you
Yes, it's you lady, yeah
People say I'm the life of the party
'cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears..
I need you, need you
Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one..
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears..
I need you, need you
Outside I'm masquerading
Inside my hope is fading
Just a clown oh yeah
Since you put me down
My smile is my make up
I wear since my break up with you..
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
What's it all about this crazy love
How did our two worlds entwine?
How do I fit into your life
How did you get into mine?
I belong to someone else we know
Back when first we met
Oh, we thought for fun
One night together might be nice
Oh, but fun turned into love for both of us
So now we pay forbidden lover's price
Oh, 'cause love like ours is never, ever free
You pay some agony for the ecstasy
Oh, love like ours is never, ever free
You got to pay some agony for the ecstasy, oh oh
Nights when you're alone, you know that I
Laid with someone else beside me
Oh, but you love me still and I love you
You know I would no matter where I'd be
Hey, but love like ours is never, ever free
You got to pay some agony for the ecstasy
Oh, love like ours is never, ever free
We got to pay some agony if we wanna have ecstasy, oh
Hey, got to pay some agony
If we wanna have an ecstasy, yeah
And we need each other desperately, don't we, baby?
And I'll never from you be free, no no
So you'll have to do the leavin' me, yeah
And you'll have to do the leavin' me, oh baby
'Cause I'm gonna pay the agony, yeah
'Cause, oh, lovin' you is ecstasy, that's what it is
And I'm willin' to pay the price, ho

Ooh, baby
Uh-huh
Two hearts, two of a kind
Love at first sight, why do they say love is blind
Slow down, we don't have to move fast
Cause the love that is real is made to last
Take it one heartbeat at a time
Close your eyes and let your soul unwind
Sooner or later it'll all fall in love
If we take it one heartbeat at a time
One heartbeat
Ooh...
We paint a picture walkin down the street
Leaves are fallin, baby, so are we
Hand in hand, that's the way it shoud be
How could somethin so easy make me feel so complete
Take it one heartbeat at a time
Close your eyes and let your soul unwind
Sooner or later it'll all fall in love
If we take it one heartbeat at a time
One heartbeat
Take it easy, ooh
I want o feel your every emotion
Shh...don't talk
And well makin love in slow motion
Ooh...slow motion, baby
Ooh...slow motion, baby
Take it one heartbeat at a time
Close your eyes and let your soul unwind
Sooner or later it'll all fall in love
If we take it one heartbeat at a time
One heartbeat
One heartbeat at a time (Slow motion, baby)
One heartbeat (Oh, slow motion, baby)
Sooner or later it'll all fall in love
If we take it one heartbeat
One heartbeat (Yeah)
One heartbeat (Ooh, baby)
Sooner or later it'll all fall in love
Let it be soon, don't hesitate
Make it now, don't wait
Open your heart & let my love come in
I want the moment to start when I can fill your heart with...
CHORUS:
More love, more joy
Than age or time could ever destroy
My love will be so sound
It would take about 100 lifetimes
To live it down, wear it down, tear it down
This is no fiction, this is no act
This is real, it's a fact
I'll always belong only to you
Each day I'll be living to make sure I'm giving you...
(chorus)
As we grow older no need to fear
When you need me I'll be here
I'll be beside you every step of the way
A heart that's truthful & keeping you youthful with...
This is the right time, if you've been confused
It's in a lifetime, it's up to you to choose
So much happening, still you have a choice
He gave you his word, and if you hear his voice
Love will set you free (love will set you free)
Love will set you free (love will set you free)
Weary of wonder, imprisoned in your doubt
Love and thunder, your heart is crying out
Don't you know that now you're standing
In the danger zone (in the danger zone)
But love won't leave you, to ever stand alone
Love will set you free (love will set you free)
He said, come follow me and where we go
(Come follow me and where we go)
You can reap every dream you sow
(You can reap every dream you sow)
Nothing's impossible, when you believe
Come follow me and you'll be free
(Free free, free free)
Folloooooow, follow follow
Folloooooow, follow
Well sometimes, sunshine (sometimes sunshine)
Can be cold and gray (cold and gray)
But love will warm you, let them lead the way
Love will set you free (Free free, free free)
He said come follow me and where we go
(Come follow me and where we go)
You can reap every dream you sow
(You can reap every dream you sow)
Nothing's impossible, when you believe
Come follow me and you'll be free
(Free free, free free)
Just to see her
Just to touch her
Just to hold her in my
arms again one more time
If I could feel her warm embrace
see her smiling face
Can't find anyone to take her place
I've got to see her again
I would do anything
I would go anywhere
There's nothing I wouldn't do
just to see her again
I can't hide it
I can't fight it
It's so hard to live without
the love she gave to me
Doesn't she know it?
I tried hard not to show it
Can't I make her realize that
she really needs me again?
I would do anything
I would go anywhere
There's nothing I wouldn't do
just to see her again
She brightened up my everyday
made me feel so good in every way
If I could have her back to stay
I've made love to you a thousand times,
Even if it's only in my mind
I've made love to you a thousand ways
For a thousand nights and a thousand days
It's so real, when I dream about you
I can feel you in the morning
All day long the feeling of my dream
Comes on me without warning
I'm standing there, and suddenly
There you are all over me
I've made love to you a thousand times,
Even if it's only in my mind
I've made love to you a thousand ways
For a thousand nights and a thousand days
Let it be, let it really happen
Set me free form loves desire
And if my imagination is any indication
Then of your love I'll never tire
Oh, hold me close, kiss me sweet,
And repeat and repeat and repeat
And after I've made love to you a thousand times
And after I've made love to you a thousand ways
I'm gonna gonna keep on with the real thing
For a thousand nights and a thousand days
I've made love to you a thousand times,
Even if it's only in my mind
I've made love to you a thousand ways
For a thousand nights and a thousand days
Then I wanna keep on with the real thing
Keep on with the real thing
Keep on keep on keep on with the real thing
For a thousand nights and a thousand days
For a thousand nights and a thousand nights
For a thousand nights and a thousand days
For a thousand nights and a thousand nights
For a thousand nights and a thousand days
For a thousand nights and a thousand nights
I waited till I saw the sun,
Don't know why I didn't come.
I left you by the house of fun,
Don't know why I didn't come,
Don't know why I didn't come.
When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away,
Instead of kneeling in the sand,
Catching teardrops in my hand.
My heart is drenched in wine.
You'll be on my mind--forever.
I Would cross the angry sea,
Die in ecstasy
But I'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road alone,
My heart is drenched in wine.
You'll be on my mind forever.
Something has to make you run
Don't know why I didn't come
I feel as empty as a drum
Don't know why I didn't come,
Don't know why I didn't come,
Baby let's cruise
away from here
Don't be confused
the way is clear
And if you want it
you got it forever
This is not a
one night stand baby
Yeah so
Let the music take your mind
Just release & you will find
(chorus)
You're gonna fly away
glad you're goin' my way
I love it when we're
cruisin' together
The music is played for love
cruisin' is made for love
I love it when we're
cruisin' together
Baby tonight
belongs to us
Everything's right
do what you must
And inch by inch we
get closer & closer
To every little part
of each other ooh baby
Yeah so
Let the music take your mind
Just release & you will find
(chorus)
Cruise with me baby
Cruise
Baby let's cruise
let's flow, let's glide
Ooooh let's open up
and go inside
And if you want it
you got it forever
I can just stay there
inside you and
love you baby
Let the music
take your mind
Just release and
you will find
You're gonna fly (away)
Yeah, I'm glad
you're going my way
I love it when we're
cruisin together
The music is played for love
Cruisin' is made for (love)
I love it, I love it, I love it
(chorus)
I don't care what
they think about me and
I don't care what they say
I don't care what they
think if you're leaving
I'm gonna beg you to stay
I don't care if they
start to avoid me
I don't care what they do
I don't care about anything else
but being with you
being with you
Honey don't go
don't leave this scene
Be out of the picture
and off of the screen
Don't let them say
"we told you so"
Don't tell me you love me
and then let me go
I heard the warning voice
from friends and my relation
They tell me all about your
heart-break reputation
(chorus)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
People can change
they always do
Haven't they noticed
the changes in you?
Or can it be that like
love I am blind?
Do I want it so much
'til it's all in my mind?
One thing I know for sure
is really really real
I never felt before
the way you make me feel
(chorus)
Being with you (you)
Being with you, ooh
(Being with you)
I don't care about anything else
but being with you
being with you
Being with you (you)
Being with you, ooh
(Being with you)
I don't care about anything else
but being with you
being with you
(B.Rose, E.Eliscu, V.Youmans)
Whether you are here or yonder, whether you are false or true
Whether you remain or wander, I'm growing fonder of you
Even though your friends forsake you, even though you don't succeed
Wouldn't I be glad to take you, give you the break you need
More than you know, more than you know
Girl of my heart, I love you so
Lately I find you're on my mind
More than you know
Whether you're right, whether you're wrong
Girl of my heart, I'll string along
You need me so
Much more than you'll ever know (ever know)
Loving you the way that I do
There's nothing I can do about it
Loving may be all you can give
But baby I can't live without it
Oh, how I'd cry, oh, how I'd cry
If you got tired and said "Good-bye"
More than I'd show
(Wilmott, McHugh and Fields)
I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love
Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh, is it any wonder
That I'm in the mood for love?
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid
And if there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But for tonight forget it
I'm in the mood for love
Oh yeah
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid
And if there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But, for tonight, forget it
Cause I'm in the mood for love
I'm in the mood for love
With Barbara Mitchell
We had our chance
Lord knows how we tried
To keep our love alive
To keep it strong
So if I hurt you girl
Try and understand
You can't go on pretending
When we know it's ending
Blame it on love
On the memories that linger in the night
Love never showed us how to make it right
So baby
Blame it on love tonight
We had our time
It went by so fast
We tried to make it last
To make it right
We gave it all we had
Girl don't look so sad
Let's go out remembering a happier ending
Blame it on love
On the memories that linger in the night
Love never showed us how to make it right
So baby (So baby)
Blame it on love tonight
There ain't no use in harping on
Girl it's time to let it be
We did all we could
And it won't do no good
To blame it on you and me
Blame it on love
On the dreams we shared that won't come true
On the feeling that our love would always see us through
So baby, (so baby) let's blame it on love tonight
We can blame it on love
On the dreams we shared that won't come true
Ooh... ooh... ooh...
Yes, baby
The guys all fought over each other
Just to get next to you
They try too hard and they smile too much
I admit that Ive done it too
How can you blame us for actin like fools
Hangin around like we do (Like we do)
When everything you touch shines a little brighter
Everything you say sounds so fine
Every time we meet I feel a little lighter
Tell me how can I make you mine
I wish I knew what I could do
To stand out from the crowd, yes
To be the one (That you) you reach out to
And put your arms around
How can you blame me for wanting to be
The only that you see (That you see)
When everything you touch shines a little brighter
Everything you say sounds so fine
Every time we meet I feel a little lighter
Tell me how can I make you mine
Oh, touch me, baby
It would feel so good
Oh, kiss me, baby
Cause I know it would, hoo
Love me, baby
Come on love me, love me (Yeah), love me, ooh...
Love me, love me, baby
Ooh... ooh... yes
I hope some day I'll wake up and see
The one you're holdin is me (Holdin me)
Everything you touch shines a little brighter
Everything you say sounds so fine
Every time we meet I feel a little lighter
Tell me how can I make you mine
(Everything you touch) Shines a little brighter
(Everything you say) Comes out right
(Every time we meet) I feel a little lighter, lighter, lighter
(Tell me how can I) Tell me how can I make you mine tonight
(Everything you touch) Everything, everything, everything, everything
(Everything you say) Everything you say sounds so fine
I send my love to you, I send my hands to you
I send my clothes to you, I send my nose to you
I send my trees to you, I send my please to you
Won't you send some back to me?
Send your ways to me, send your call to me
Send you days to me, send it all to me
And when I'm high and square
When I would have you there, you will be
The moon is falling, my wounds are calling
My head is bleeding and I'm a duck
The lake is cracking, it hears me quacking
Fuck the land and two if by me
Send your ways to me, send your call to me
Send your days to me, send it all to me
And when I'm high and square
(B. Howard)
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, in other words
You go to my head and you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning 'round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two
The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my plea
Cast a spell over me
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be
You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my plea
Cast a spell over me
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be
You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
You go to my head
I could feel you the moment that you walked into the room
Oh baby, oh
What I felt I wondered if I felt too much too soon
I can't help myself, something draws me to you
How in just a moment's time can all of me pursue you
What's too much
When the fascination keeps on growing by the minute
What's too much
Should I hold back something or just throw my whole self in it
What's too much
Baby you touched me the moment that I looked into your eyes
Oh baby, baby baby
I was captured by the gaze that caught me by surprise
Oh baby, baby baby
I want to pay my full attention in advance
I don't know if that's too much but I'm willing to take the chance
What's too much
What's the feeling in it telling me, is there such a rule
What's too much
What's the fine line between a wise man and a fool
What's too much
You got something that makes me give it up
I want to give you everything but maybe that's too much
That's too much
What's too much
You got something that makes me give it up
I want to give you everything but maybe that's too much
What's too much
What's the feeling in it telling me, is there such a rule
What's too much
What's the fine line between a wise man and a fool
What's too much
'Cause I'm feeling something does anyone knows how to measure
What's too much
Should you try and stop it at a certain point of pleasure
What's too much
Tell me, tell me
What's too much
What's too much
What's too much
[Inkspots:]
Into each life
Some rain must fall
But too much is falling in mine
Into each heart
Some tears must fall
But someday the sun will shine
Some folks can lose the blues in their hearts
But when I think of you, another shower starts
Into each life
Some rain must fall
But too much is falling in mine
[Ella:]
Into each life
Some rain must fall
But too much, too much, is fallin' in mine
Into each heart, some tears must fall
But someday- the sun will shine!
Some folks can lose the blues in their hearts
But when I think of you, another shower starts
Into each life
Some rain must fall
But too much is fallin' in mine
[Inkspots:]
Into each and every life some rain has got to fall
But too much of that stuff is falling into mine
And into each heart- some tears gotta fall
But, I know, that some day that sun is bound to shine
[Together:]
Some folks can lose the blues in their hearts
But when i think of you, another shower starts
Into each life some rain must fall
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
A few years ago on my birthday
I had just become twenty one
(I remember)
I had a lot to live, said I had a lot to give
Til a man comes to give me a gun
And though that war he sent me to
Didn't claim me
If I'm bitter don't blame me
It's just my soul responding
Don't you try to tell me I'm un-patriotic
I deserve an explanation
I can't help but wonder if you really got it
It's just my soul responding
Soul responding, soul responding
This land once belonged to my father
And to his father before him too
Let me tell you now, I'm on a reservation
Living in a state of degradation
What's a soul suppose to do?
'Cause I'm out, pushin', right?
I'm not in doubt
When it's just my soul responding
To seeing little hungry children
In the land of plenty
Just my soul responding
To doing lots of deeds
But never having any
It's just my soul responding
Soul responding, soul responding
I was born and raised in the ghetto
On the run down side of the track
And there are forces who do everything they can do
To hold me back because my skin is black
Oh but more and more I mind
Hell, it's about time
It's just my soul responding
To being second-class in a land I helped to form
Just my soul responding
To too many roaches and not enough heat
To keep my babies warm
In this land I helped to form
I've got too many roaches and not enough heat
To keep my babies warm
It's just my soul responding
When I had you
I treated you bad
And wrong my dear
And girl since,
Since you been away
Don'tcha know
I sit around
With my head hangin' down
And I wonder
Who's lovin you
I, I, I, I should have never ever
Ever made you cry
And girl since
Since you been gone
Don'tcha know
I sit around
With my head hangin' down
And I wonder
Who's lovin you
Life without love
Is oh so lonely
I don't think
I don't think
I'm gonna make it
All my life
All my life, yeah
Belongs to you only
Come on and take it girl
Come on and take it!
Because,
All I can do
All I can do
Since you been gone is cry
And you, oooh
Don'tcha know I
Sit around
With my head hangin down
And I wonder
Who's lovin' you
(Who's lovin you)
Can you love a virgin man
Can you love a virgin man
When I'm with my friends
And the man talk begins
And they brag about all the love they've known
I sit in the corner all alone
The best thing I can do is listen
The most I've done is just some kissin'
Can you love a virgin man (baby)
Can you love (really love) a virgin man
How come people say
Lady virgin that's OK
But when the conversation turns around
Virgin man they always put him down
People say he must be "funny"
He ain't had a taste of honey
Can you love a virgin man (baby)
Can you love a virgin man
Can you love a virgin man
Can you love a virgin man
My gift of love has never been unwrapped
My well of love it still remains untapped (oh baby)
Can you love a virgin man (baby)
Can you love (really love) a virgin man
Can you (really) love a virgin man (baby)
How come people say
Lady virgin that's OK
But a man who is a man
Ain't supposed to be that way
No no no no no no
Can you love a virgin man (baby)
Can you love a virgin man
(Wonder what my friends would do if they only knew)
Can you love a virgin man
(I've been saving all my love for you, you)
Can you love a virgin man
They say making love's an art
In which each man should take part
By the time he reaches twenty one
Making love is something that he should have done
It ain't like I've never wanted to
But it's easier to think than it is to do
Can you (really) love a virgin man (baby)
Can you (really) love a virgin man
Can you love a virgin man
Can you love a virgin man
Can you love a virgin man
Can you love a virgin man
I love your face
I love the way you smile at me
An open door that lets the sunshine in
It lights my world, my days
I love your face
I love the look that's in your eyes
You see right through the deepest part of me
Right down into the heart of me
I love your face
Don't you ever change, you're just right for me
I love all of you
And especially I love your face
I love the message there for me
The greatest love story I ever heard
Without a sound, without a word
I love your face
I love your face
Every now and then
Somebody comes into my life
Oh, and for a little while, it seems
They're the answer to my dreams to my prayer
As sudden as they come, they start to fade
Like floating smoke rings
Oh, how can they stay with me when
They're only penciled in
Though you're gone, you're always there
I can't find my way to a very special somewhere
I can't find myself, 'cause without you, I'm just out there
I can't find that person, I wanna put that much in
I can't find anybody like you, who makes touchin' more than touchin'
Take me in your arms, hold me close, I need to feel you
Oh, to me there's nothin' like your touch
It's what I need so much, oh yes, I do, my love
So I say all my love, if you can find it in your heart
To do just one thing for me, come back
Come back, come back, come back
Come back, come back, come back
I can't find sleep at night, I'm either watchin' TV or walkin'
I can't find any conversation that means more to me than talkin'
I can't find satisfaction, even when I do surrender
I can't find anybody like you, who makes tender more than tender, oh
I've been lookin', there's just nobody around, oh, no, no
No sense lookin' for who can never be found
I can't find anybody like you who gets my full attention
I can't find anybody who means enough for me to mention
I can't find that person, who makes me wanna surrender
I can't find anybody like you, who makes tender more than tender
I've been lookin', there's just nobody around
No sense lookin' for who can never be found, yeah, yeah
I am, I am
[SKAT]
Lord, who will be with you
Every day, all the way, come with me
Your? come through
Thick and thin, back again
I'm gonna hang right in
[CHORUS]
I said I am, I am, I am, I am
Oh baby, I am, I am, I am, I am
You can bet your life I am, yeah
I'll be standin' by
Prepared to take
Some heartache, for your sake
Can you did that, baby
What kind of fool am I
When winding up?
When the going gets rough
Can you did that, mama
[Repeat CHORUS]
And if the world don't like it
I don't give a damn
[SKAT]
Why do you give your love
And like?
Through youth and age
Can you dig that, baby?
What of the life you?
Realize your dreams
Though it may seem
Too extreme
Can you dig that mama?
[Repeat CHORUS]
And if the world don't like it
I don't give a damn
I am, I am I am
I am I am I am, I am
Oh baby, I am I am I am
Ohh, you bet your life I am
And if the world don't like it
I don't give a damn
(C. Porter)
I've got you under my skin.
I've got you deep in the heart of me.
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me.
I've got you under my skin.
I'd tried so not to give in.
I said to myself: this affair never will go so well.
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well
I've got you under my skin?
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear:
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?
Use your mentality, wake up to reality.
But each time that I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.
I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats - how it yells in my ear:
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?
Why not use your mentality - step up, wake up to reality?
But each time I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop just before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.
Speak low when you speak love
Our summer day withers away too soon, too soon
Speak low when you speak love
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift, we're swept apart, too soon
Speak low, darling, speak low
Love is a spark, lost in the dark too soon, too soon.
I feel wherever I go
That tomorrow is near,
Tomorrow is here and always too soon,
Time is so old and love so brief
Love is pure gold and time a thief.
We're late, darling, we're late,
The curtain descends, everything ends too soon, too soon.
I wait, darling, I wait,
Will you speak low to me, speak love to me and soon...
I wait, darling, I wait,
Will you speak low to me,
Slow to me, oh please,
Just don't say no to me
Let it flow to me, slow to me
Soon... Soon... Soon...
Ooo... Soon... Darling, speak low to me
Darling, speak slow to me...
Alright, is everybody ready
Alright now, here we go

I put a song in your heart, so you say
Sing it out, let the world know what it's all about
If I make it possible for the impossible
To happen for you like you say, hey
Baby, that's backatcha
Baby, that's the same thing you do for me
Baby, that's backatcha
Oh, baby, that's tit for tat
I'm givin' you this for that
You're flyin' high with your head in the clouds
Trouble comes along to bust your bubble
It's not incredible when I make it credible
Things seem much better for you
Baby, that's backatcha
Baby, that's the same thing you do for me
Baby, that's backatcha
Oh, baby, that's tit for tat
I'm givin' you this for that

So when you feel it, don't try to conceal it, no
Just let it happen for you
Baby, that's backatcha

I love your face
I love the way you smile at me
An open door that lets the sunshine in
It lights my world, my days
I love your face
I love the look that's in your eyes
You see right through the deepest part of me
Right down into the heart of me
I love your face
Don't you ever change, you're just right for me
I love all of you
And especially I love your face
I love the message there for me
The greatest love story I ever heard
Without a sound, without a word
I love your face
I love your face
There you were beautiful
The promise of love was written on your face
You led me on with untrue kisses
You held me captured in your false embrace
Quicker than I could bat an eye
Seems you were telling me goodbye
Just a minute ago your love was here
All of a sudden it seemed to disappear
Sweetness was only heartache's camouflage
The love I saw in you was just a mirage
You promised that happiness we'll ever share
But all I have are memories of love that was never there
We used to meet in romantic places
You gave the illusion that your love was real
Now all that's left are lipstick traces
From the kisses you only pretended to feel
And now our meeting you avoid
And so my world you have destroyed
Just a minute ago your love was here
All of a sudden it seemed to disappear
The way you wrecked my life was like sabotage
The love I saw in you was just a mirage
You brought me up just to throw me down
You love me and my dreams shattered all on your ground
You only filled me with despair
By showing love that wasn't there
Just like the desert shows a thirsty man
A green oasis where there's only sand
You lured me into something I should have dodged
The love I saw in you was just a mirage
To you I gave true love from deep within
You made me hungry for your love
When it was not deeper than your skin
Just like the desert shows a thirsty man
A green oasis where there's only sand
You lured me into, into something I should have dodged
Come to me soon as you can my love
come to me now
come to me soon as you can my love
come to me now
I am on fire and what i require
only you can fulfill my request
i have felt good and i have felt better
but you make me feel the best
Come to me soon
'cause you know you're the one
who can right up my life
yes you're the midnight moon
and the morning sun
and you light up my life
You got a soothing moving tender touch
come and be with me
because i need you so much
I've some to find
for my peace of mind
your presence is mandatory
you've got a few little things that you do
that nobody else can do for me
Come to me soon
and we'll both have it made
our love will be stronger
yes you'll break my balloon
and rain on my parade
if you're gone much longer
You got a soothing moving tender touch
come and be with me
because i need you so much
come to me soon
baby, baby come to me now
come to me soon
come to me now
Well you got a soothing moving tender touch
come and be with me
because i need you so much
come to me soon
come to me now
come to me soon
come and be with me
I'm discontented with homes that are rented so I have invented my own.
Darling this place is a lover's oasis where life's weary chase is unknown.
Far from the cry of the city, where flowers pretty caress the streams,
Cozy to hide in, to love side-by-side in. Don't let it abide in my dreams.
Picture you upon my knee, just tea for two and two for tea,
Just me for you and you for me, alone!
Nobody near us, to see us or hear us,
No friends or relations on weekend vacations,
We won't have it known, dear, that we have a telephone, dear.
Day will break and you'll awake and start to bake
A sugar cake for me to take for all the boys to see.
We will raise a family, a boy for you, a girl for me,
Oh, can't you see how happy life would be?
You are revealing a plan so appealing I can't help but falling for you,
Darling, I planned it; can't you understand it is yours to command it, so do.
All of your schemes I'm admiring, they're worth desiring but can't you see,
I'd like to wait there for some future date dear;
It won't be too late, dear, for me.
Picture you upon my knee, just tea for two and two for tea,
Just me for you and you for me, alone!
Nobody near us, to see us or hear us,
No friends or relations on weekend vacations,
We won't have it known, dear, that we have a telephone, dear.
Day will break and you'll awake and start to bake
A sugar cake for me to take for all the boys to see.
We will raise a family, a boy for you, a girl for me,
Even mountains will crumble
Rivers will dry, stars will fall
And kings will be humbled
The weakest of men will be standing tall
Time changes, rearranges
Mountains and kings, everything
But you are forever
Baby, you are my night and day
You are forever
Darling I cannot remember when
I didn't love you
Yesterday is a memory
Tomorrow will come and fade away
But my love is eternal
I promise you it will always stay
Time changes, rearranges
Things come and go
But one thing I know is
You are forever
Baby, you are my now and then
You are forever
And darling I cannot remember when
I didn't want you, need you, love you
Yeahesss, love you, ahhh love you, love you, love you
Time changes, rearranges
Mountains and kings, everything
But you are forever
Baby, you are my now and then
You are my forever
I cannot remember when
I didn't love you
You're forever and ever
Baby, baby, ever ever, and ever
I... I cannot remember when
I didn't love you
Oohhh, love you, oohhh, love you love you
Can't remember when I didn't love you
Love you, love you, love you, hey yeah
It's very clear, our love is here to stay
Not for a year but ever and a day
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go
But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go
Oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
Oh, but our love is here
Our love is here
But our love is here to stay
I called you another letter today
Wish I could let you know what it had to say
Yeah, I wrote every line in the back of my mind
I didn't take the time to pen down
'Cause to write it on paper would do me no good
But since I don't know where to send 'em
Love letters
My life is love letters, baby
I'm a love letter, oh yeah, yeah, yeah
And I'll send myself to you, baby
I wrote some but they're fading now
Soaked with teardrops when they were sealed
Ah, though the sad tears stained message, they contained
But just a look at me can be revealed
Love letters, yeah
My life is love letters, oh baby
So many love letters, oh yeah
And I'll send myself to you, baby
My eyes are deep pools of tears
Deep enough for my soul to drown
And my face will explain how much my heart's in pain
There's really no need for me to write it down
Love letters, yeah
My eyes are love letters to you, babe
My lips are love letters, oh baby
My face, a love letter, yeah, yeah
My life, a love letter, yeah
And my heart, a love letter, oh baby
My soul, a love letter, yeah
I'm a love letter, yeah, yeah
And I send myself to you, baby
I feel like a love letter that you
Canceled into your life for fun
And then decided to replace every single trace
Of the living and loving that we had done
Love letters, yeah
I'm a love letter to you, baby
My life, a love letter, ah babe
My soul, a love letter, yeah
I'm a love letter, love letter
I'm a love letter, yeah
I send myself to you, baby
Ooh, love letters send to you, baby
I send myself to you, ooh
Love letters send to you
I send myself to you, yeah
I send myself to you, babe, oh
And I'll write myself to you, babe, oh
Ooo, Ooo, Ooo,
Yesterday we made future plans
She loved me I could tell
Can today be that tomorrow that we planned so well?
Yester baby I'll never forget her
Though tomorrow might bring me one better
Today I'll be on my away to love my yester love
Today I'll go on my way to love my yester love oh oh
Yesterday I felt a tender kiss upon my face
Now the day is gone and there's a tear drop in it's place
Oh yester kisses that I used to treasure
Now you're given some other lips pleasure
Today I'm on my way dreamin of my yester love
Today I'll go on my way dreamin of my yester love, oh
Yester is, the prefix, that we fix, to things that have gone by
Forever they say, yeah even though my yester love
Has slipped through my fingers I find it still lingers
In my heart today-ay-ay
Yesterday I thought I had a love to call my own
No one could have told me that today I'd be alone
Oh oh yes the sweetness today has gone sour
Seemin further away with each hour
Today I'll go on my way dreamin of all my yester love
Today I'll go on my way dreamin of my yester love
It's paradise, paradise
It's ecstasy, ecstasy
It's awful nice, awful nice
Having you loving me
It's wonderful, wonderful
It's very true, very true
It's double good everything
Being loved by you
What'd I do to deserve this
Makes me stop and wonder
Who am I?
What would make you want to serve this
To just another ordinary guy
Twice as good as any feeling
I have ever known
To call my own
I said, it's paradise, paradise
Well you know it's ecstasy, ecstasy
It's awful nice, awful nice
Baby, having you loving me
You know that it's wonderful, wonderful
(Wonderful, wonderful)
Oh, very true, very true
(Very true, very true)
It's double good everything
(Double good everything )
Being loved by you
(Being loved by you)
You got an over abundant
Amount of everything I seem to need
You gotta know you're the one
When I just have to follow where you lead
Keep that loving coming to me
Don't let up one bit
Don't ever quit
Because it's paradise, paradise
Oh, ecstasy, ecstasy
It's awful nice, awful nice
Baby, having you loving me
Oh, you know it's wonderful, wonderful
Yeah, very true, very true
It's double good everything
Being loved by you
Well, being loved by you
(Being loved by you)
Being loved by you
(Being loved by you)
Being loved by you
(Being loved by you)
Being loved by you
(Being loved by you)
Being loved by you
(Being loved by you)
Oh, being loved by you
(Being loved by you)
It's double good, double good
(Being loved by you)
Double good, double good
(Being loved by you)
(Cole Porter)
Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating
You, you, you
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you
Day and night, night and day, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Day and night, night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you
This song is dedicated to some people, with whom I had the pleasure of living over half the years I've lived, 'til now, when we come to our fork in the road.
And though our feet may travel a different path from now on, I want them to know how I feel about them, and that I wish them well.
Sweet harmony,
Go on and and blow on.
Stay in perfect tune,
With your own familiar song.
Make the world aware,
That you're still goin' strong.
Go on,
Spread your joy around the world.
Spread your joy around the world.
Sweet harmony,
Yeah, yeah.
Go on and blow on.
I believe in miracles,
If you can dream it,
It can be done.
And though a task was made for two,
It can be done well by one.
Go on,
Spread your joy around the world.
Spread your joy around the world.
Ewwww...
Sweet harmony,
Spread your joy around the world.
Ewwww...
Sweet harmony,
Go on,
Spread your joy around the world.
Sweet harmony,
Ewwww...
Sweet harmony,
Go on and go.
You were the prelude for the song,
The village minstels play.
Though most of them have come and gone,
You're still around today,
Go on,
Spread your joy around the world.
Harmony, huh!
Spread your joy around the world.
Keep on!
Sweet harmony,
Ewwww,
To every heart and soul,
You know the joy you bring,
When you do your thing.
Sweet harmony,
Yeah!
Don't worry your heart (?)
Don't stop now,
No...
Sweet harmony,
I believe...
Spread your joy around the world.
Sweet harmony...

I've got a lover way over there on the mountainside
And I know that's where I should be.
And don't you know, I've got a lover way over there
Across the river wide, I can hear her calling to me.
Oh, she's callin' my name, so sweet and so plain.
I can hear her saying (come to me baby)
I'm going away.
I'm gonna stay.
Ah, they tell me that the river's too deep
And it's much too wide for you can't get across to the other side.
But they don't know I've got to get there and hold her in my arms
Just a one more time like I did before when she was mine all mine.
Cause I can hear her saying (come to me baby)
I'm going away.
I'm going to stay.
I'm gonna get to you, no matter what I have to do.
(Instrumental break)
Ah, they tell me that the river's too deep
And it's much too wide for you can't make it over to the other side.
But they don't know I've got to get there and hold her in my arms
Just a one more time like I did before when she was mine all mine.
Cause I can hear her saying (come to me baby)
I'm going away.
I'm going to stay.
Oh, baby, when I get back I ain't going nowhere.
Ah, because the river ain't deep enough or mountain ain't steep enough
To keep me from your side
Fancy meetin' you here
Right at the place I said I'd never be
Fancy runnin' into you
Don't you think it's strange runnin' into me?
I said I would never come
'Cause to come here would only make me dumb
Yeah, I cursed and I swore not to come anymore
And play the fool like I did before
Dance above that empty room
Right outside your apartment door
And you're the last person that I expected
I might see right here
I guess it happened to be right here, yeah
Coincidentally
Fancy talkin' to you now
On the other end of the telephone line
Fancy hearin' your voice
Don't you think it's strange that you hearin' mine?
Well, I said I would never call
I'll just forget to love and have a ball
And the next time you saw me, you wouldn't even know me
'Cause I would be standing tall
Hey, fancy you should answer mine
I only let it ring 10 times, that's all
And you're the last person that I expected
So I know you'd be alone
Oh, I guess you must've picked up your phone
Hey, coincidentally
There's somethings I don't want you to know
Like when you said goodbye, it hurt me so
I'll be strong till the end, I won't break, I won't bend
I just don't think that I'd pretend
Hey, fancy you should find out
The only one true was your best friend
Only you're the last person that I expected
Hard to ever mention it too
Oh, I guess it came to the attention of you
Coincidentally
I let you know
(I let you know)
My way
(My way)
(Hey)
Accidentally on purpose now
(Accidentally on purpose now)
Yeah
(Yeah)
(Hey)
I found out
(I found out)
(Oh)
Coincidentally
(Coincidentally)
I let you know
(I let you know)
My, my, my, my, hey
(My, my, my, my, hey)
Well, well, well
(Well, well, well)
I found out
(I found out)
I let you know, yeah
(I let you know, yeah)
Accidentally on purpose now
Nothing so blue as a heart in pain
Nothing so sad as a tear in vain
Ooh ooh
Let him walk on out if he wants to
He really doesn't deserve you
His loss is our gain so don't be blue
'cause stone blind and out of his mind
Is what he has to be yeah
So baby straighten up come on and fly right
It's no catastrophe yeah
I said now baby baby don't cry
Baby baby here's why
Love is here standin' by
Love is here standin' by
You trusted him and gave him your love
A love he proved unworthy of
Too bad it was him that you trusted
Too bad but you can't be disgusted
It's time that you got readjusted
And realized that tear filled eyes
Can never stop him now no no no
That man is on his way
I think he's gone to stay
You better drop him now yeah
Oowee now baby baby don't cry no no
Baby baby here's why
Because love is here standin' by
I say Love is here standin' by
All you've gotta do is dry your eyes long enough to see
That you have got the love you thought you had in him here in me
Love is hope girl love is strength
Here's someone standin' right beside ya
Who would go to any length to give you love true and deep
And hope you realize at last you found a love that you can keep
And only losers weep
So baby baby don't cry Oh baby don't you cry now
Baby baby don't cry Oh baby let me tell you why now
Baby baby here's why don't you know that
Love is here standin' by
I say love is here standin' by
Your tears are shed in vain I said
So baby baby don't cry c'mon dry your eyes
Baby baby don't cry don't you realize
