All of my life I have been waiting
For just one boy
And all of my life I have been waiting
For all the joy of having

[*] Someone that I can call my own
Who'll come to my side when I am all alone
And now you are here and I've found a whole new world

Like sailin' on a sailin' ship to nowhere
Love took over my heart like an ocean breeze
As seagulls fly I knew that I was losin'
Love was washed away with the driftin' tide

Oh it's a dirty old shame
When all you get from love is a love song
That's got you layin' up nights just waitin'

How I miss that old fashioned Christmas
Carols being sung by the tree
Window's candlelight shining bright for the whole world to see
Children's eyes of sweet expectations

Wondering what each present will hold
Lying in their beds and impatient
On long Christmas Eve's of old

The moon that rose now descended,
And the love one shared now had ended,
And soon the day would come.
And when the day had come, the light that fell at dawn was cold--
the warmth of you had gone,
A taste of loneliness cut through the earliness and oh,
the wind sang of you, softly they said,
All my fav'rite dreams were dead,

They tell me
Somewhere this life isn't crazy
But I've traveled the world far and wide
And I say they're wrong

Don't sell me
Stories that music's a lady
It's not when the singer's alone

Don't you ever invite your boyfriend here
I like to be here alone
You just answer the door and feed the deer
And fight the telephone
Got to learn these words and I know you will
Or I'll send you right back to Guayaquil
Say b'wana she no home, say b'wana she no home
Say'b'wana she no home, say b'wana she no home

You can have this dance with me
You can hold my hand and whisper
In my ear sweet words, that I
Love to hear

[*] Don't be shy, just take your time
I'd like to get to know you

You're up state, up late and city fed
I'm a California label from the top of my head
Forever, ah
See a lot of open sky when the sun goes down
There's a hot lot of loving when you come around
To free me, ah

In a boat to sail, boat to sail away, ah

Don't take your love
Away from me
Don't you leave my heart
In misery
If you go
Then I'll be blue
Cause breakin' up is hard to do

Why do birds suddenly appear
Everytime you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be

Green September
Burned to October brown
Bare November
Led to December's frozen ground
The seasons stumbled round
Our drifting lives are bound
To a falling crescent noon

Listen to the song he sings
Can't you see his music brings her crystal sleep?
As her heavy eyelids fall
He's taking her to where the dolls rule the world

And in that land of make believe
Is where he'll leave her sleeping
Softly warm in a crystal lullaby

The street was desserted late Friday night
We were buggin' each other while we sat out the light
We both popped our clutch when the light turned green
You should have heard the wine from my screamin' machine
I flew past La Brea, down to Crescent Heights
And all the Jag could see were my six tail lights
He passed me at Doheny and I started to swerve
But I pulled her out and there we were at Deadman's Curve

Desperado
Why don't you come to your senses
You been out ridin' fences
For so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
But I know that you've got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow

Love, don't be afraid to love and get love returned
Don't be afraid to tell everyone you're learned
[*] That love is a groovy thing
It knows how to make you sing
Ant it fills up your life with sunshine and joy
Don't be afraid to give all you've got to give
One of these days you'll find that's the way to live
And living is what we all were put on this earth to do

Lying under barren skies
The light escaping
From my eyes
Below the moon
Walking down the avenue
I'm followed by
The afterglow
The velvet rose

Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
We've got a lifetime to share
So much to say
And as we go
From day to day
I'll feel you close to me
But time alone will tell

Well, she got her daddy's car
And she cruised through the hamburger stand-now,
Seems she forgot all about the library
Like she told her ol' man-now,
And with the radio blastin' goes cruisin'
Just as fast as she can-now

And she'll have fun, fun, fun,

Love is but a song we sing
And fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains sing
Or make the angels cry
Though the dove is on the wing
You need not know why

[*] Come on people now

I'll say goodbye to love
No one ever cared if I should live or die
Time and time again
The chance for love has passed me by
And all I know of love is how to live without it
I just can't seem to find it

So I've made my mind up I must live my life alone

I was born on a farm out in Ioway
A flaming youth I was bound I would
I packed my grip and I grabbed
my saxophone
Can't read notes, but I play
anything by ear
I made up tunes on the sounds

Christmas future is far away
Christmas past is past
Christmas present is here today
Bringing joy that will last

Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles

I ran away from you
and left you crying,
And though I'm here to stay
you think I'm lying
But I've changed my ways
and my wandering days are through;
and through it all,
I've kept on loving you.

The hardest thing Ive ever done

Is keep believing

Theres someone in this crazy world

For me

I wouldn't have the TV in the bedroom
I wouldn't have this tear drop in my eye
I wouldn't need the radio to be my lullaby
If I had you, if I had you

I wouldn't need the sun to light the morning
(I would need no sunshine)
If I could have your love to light my night

It's Christmas time and time for a carol
Time to sing about the little King
To fill the bowl and roll out the banel
Have ourselves a fling

We greet a friend or welcome a stranger
Let him sing on cheer him on his way
And celebrate the child in the manger

Serenade me by the light of the moon,
Let's sing and dance as lovers do
When the morning light shines down on me
With you, my love I want to be
As the stars go sailin' by
We can count them you and I
We can make a wish when one falls from the sky
And my only wish would be

Some sleepless night if you should find yourself alone

[*] Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to
When you need someone to turn to
Let me be the one

To set things right

Sit there, and count your fingers
What can you do? Old girl you're through
Sit there, and count your little fingers
Unlucky little girl blue

Sit there and count the raindrops falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on is the raindrops

To say I'm romantic would be quite semantically true
But make-believe passion has fallen from fashion's milieu
It's understandable why we're a little confused
It's asking for trouble just watching the six o'clock news
But for a moment, all things aside, look to yourself somewhere inside

Look yo your dreams
Don't they still seem worthwhile?

Talk about love
how it makes life complete
You can talk all you want
make it sound nice and sweet,
But the words have an empty ring,
and they don't really mean a thing,

[Chorus:]

We fell in love
On the first night that we met
Together
We've been happy
I have very few regrets
The ordinary problems
Have not been hard to face
But lately little changes

We've tried our hand
At love before
We've been around the game enough
To know the score'
But then is then
And now is now
All now is all that matters anyhow

Let us put man and woman together
And see which one is smarter
Some say man, but I say no
The woman got the man like a puppet show

It ain't me, it's the people that say
The men are leadin' the women astray

Greeting cards have all been sent
The Christmas rush is through
But I still have one wish to make
A special one for you

Merry Christmas, darling
We’re apart, that’s true
But I can dream and in my dreams

Now, now when it rains, I don't feel cold
Now that I have your hand to hold
The winds might blow through me
But I don't care
There's no harm in thunder if you are there
And now, now when we touch
My feelings slide
Now when I'm smiling, I know why

Sing, sing

Who's that stompin' all over my face?
Where's that sillhouette I'm trying to trace?
And who's putting sponge in the bells I once rung
And taking my gypsy before she's begun

Just singing and a dreaming of what's in my mind

One love in my young life
Took me somewhere I had never been
And I want to live again, breathe again
In the shelter of his brightly woven love song
So long I have wanted love to be
Sitting just this near to me
Now my waiting heart is free

I'm going way down south to Louisiana
Well, I'll just close my eyes
And everything's alright
And though I'm really far away
I'll make my get away
And no one need really
Know that I've been gone

After long enough of being alone
Everyone must face their share of loneliness
In my own time nobody knew
The pain I was goin' through
And waitin' was all my heart could do

Hope was all I had until you came
Maybe you can't see how much you mean to me

Everybody always asks me
How I got to play so fine
And, friends, I'm going to tell you
It really did take some time

Yes, after years and years of practice
And a case of real bad knees
While the other guys were out playing with the football

Playing it safe so long
You lost your inspiration
Clingin' to things that turn out wrong
Won't help a situation
Makin' me pay for the unhappy times
(That's bummer)
Maybe the moon night make you change your mind

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied, straight-faced, while I cried
Still I'd look to find a reason to believe
Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give, never think of myself

If I gave you time to change my mind

You're close enough
to touch again
Where you should be
I'd love to think what your smile is leading to
I feel your eyes, starting a fire all over me
Oh baby you know, I know what your arms can do

(Say that you remember when)

Here I am feeling confined
Neon lights are making me blind
I need time out in the sunshine
The city and me just don't agree
On who I should be
Maybe I should get away
Take myself a holiday

You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He's making a list and checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town

He sees you when you're sleepin'

Saturday began just the same as other days
But ended up different in many ways
Love is in my world since Saturday

Mornin' came but somehow it didn't seem the same
The sadness of Friday had somehow changed
To the happy sounds of Saturday

[*] Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring-ting-tingling too
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling yoo-hoo
Come on it's lovely weather

There was a man
A lonely man
Who lost his love
Through his indifference

A heart that cared
That went unshared
Until it died

Somebody's been lyin'
Somebody's been callin' me tellin' me he still loves me
But not the way I thought it would be
He's makin' fun of me and laughin' at my dreams
And I know that he keeps...

Sayin' not to worry

Someday, rested from hours of sleeping

We’ll stay safely behind what we’re keeping

You’ll seem warmer than I had remembered you

Lying so close I’ll be able to feel you breathe

Sometimes not often enough
We reflect upon the good things
And those thoughs always center around those we love
And I think about those people who mean so much to me
And for so many years have made me so very happy
And I count the times I have forgotten to say "thank you"
And just how much I love them

You've been so quiet lately
Sometimes I wonder has the cat got your tongue
You seem to be a thousand miles away
Don't look me in the eyes and say it's OK
Don't Lie

I got this funny feelin' baby
That it's going to be that time again

Long ago and oh so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show
Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear
But you're not really here
It's just the radio

[Chorus:]
Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby

Yoy're always in my heart
From early in the mornin' til it's dark
I gotta see your sweet , sweet smile every day

When I wake up in the mornin'
And I see you there
I always whisper a little prayer
I gotta see your sweet , sweet smile every day

A ghost is there
I can see the outline of her shadow traced in the air.
Sometimes I see her bended over your shoulder
I think what lies has she told you
And I see a smile light up your face
You like what she says
And I wanna cry, it's killing me but I play dumb instead.

There's a kind of hush
All over the world tonight
All over the world
You can hear the sound of lovers in love

You know what I mean, just the two of us
And nobody else in sight
There's nobody else and I'm feeling good

Are we really happy with
This lonely game we play
Looking for the right words to say
Searching but not finding
Understanding anyway
Were lost in this masquerade
Both afraid to say were just too far away
From being close together from the start

As a child, I was known for make-believing
All alone I created fantasies
As I grew people called it self-deceiving
But my heart helped me hold the memories
As I walk through the world I find around me
Something new, yet familiar's in the air
I feel it ev'rywhere
Like a child's eyes

Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream

Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me

Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most every thing I see
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream

Everything I want the world to be
Is now comin' true especially for me
And the reason is clear, it's because you are here

Play us a song we can slow dance on
We want to hold each other
Play us a groove so we hardly move
Just let our hearts beat together
Oh, baby, 'cause it feel so good
When we're close like this
Whisper in my ear and let me steal a kiss

I guess you what it's all about
All the answers seem so clear to you
You know just exactly what do you want to do
And never allow a feeling of doubt

I guess you see where your road can lead
And all the pain that you have in a store
For now you have chosen to look every door

Maybe i?am a dreamer

Maybe just a fool

Lately I can hardly see the sun

If you had a secret

Well, there's two sides, to every situation
Yes, there's two sides, two interpretations
A laugh is a cry, hello means goodbye
You're sayin' something baby, I don't wanna buy

Well, there's two sides to every creation
You and me babe, we're no revelation
Well there's darkness in our light, and there's

What the world needs now is love sweet love,
It*s the only thing that there*s just too little of.
What the world needs now is love sweet love,
no not just for some but for everyone.

Lord we don*t need another mountain,
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb,
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross

Getting away from all the things that need doing
Lazily here to lose the afternoon
Lying around here on the ground
It's as close to getting up as I can go

Taking a chance to free myself from my worries
Cover them well enough and no one sees
Nobody knows until they show

You've got nothing to hide
You've got miles of feeling
And acres of pride
You've got it
You've really got it.

When you know who you are

Autumn days lying on a bed of leaves
Watching clouds drift through the trees
Said my love was more than time
It's gold enough, the trees are bare, nights are long
I can't get warm since you've been gone
Can't stop singing sad songs

Where do I go from here?

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be

Without a song, the day would never end
Without a song, the road would never have been
When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend
Without a song

That field of corn, would never see a plow
That field of corn, would be deserted now
A man is born but he's no good, no how

when i was young i'd listen to the radio
waiting for my favorite songs
when they played i'd sing along,
it make me smile.
those were such happy times and not so long ago
how i wondered where they'd gone.
but they're back again just like a long lost friend
all the songs i love so well.

You are the one who makes me happy
When everything else turns to gray
Yours is the voice that wakes me mornings
And sends me out into the day

You are the crowd that sits quiet listening to me
And all the mad sense that I make

I hear singing and there's no one there
I smell blossoms and the trees are bare
All day long I seem to walk on air
I wonder why, I wonder why?

I keep tossing in my sleep at night
And what's more I've lost my appetite
Stars that used to twinkle in the skies

Every night, every day,
you're the one I always dream of.
Every line of your face is sketched so plain inside my heart.
You've grown so deep inside of me.
You're everything I feel and see,
and you're the one, you're the one I love.

All my life, all my love,

Just take some loneliness
And add a tear or two
Throw in some emptiness
Mix 'till you're bluer than blue
Keep it all under cover
Next to your broken dreams
When you're through
Then you'll know how I
