| Play Me She was morning and I was night time. I one day woke up to find her lying beside my bed. I softly said, "Come take me." For I've been lonely, in need of someone, as though I'd done someone wrong somewhere but I don't know where. I don't know where, come lately. You are the sun, I am the moon, you are the words, I am the tune, play me. Songs she sang to me, songs she brang to me, words that rang in me, rhyme that sprang from me warmed the night and what was right became me. You are the sun, I am the moon, you are the words, I am the tune, play me. And so it was that I came to travel upon a road that was thorned and narrow, another place, another grace would save me. You are the sun, I am the moon, you are the words, I am the tune, play me. You are the sun, I am the moon, you are the words, I am the tune, play me. Pretty Amazing Grace Pretty amazing grace is what you showed me, pretty amazing grace is who you are. I was an empty vessel, you filled me up inside and with amazing grace, restored my pride. Pretty amazing grace is how you saved me and with amazing grace, reclaimed my heart. Love in the midst of chaos, calm in the heat of war showed with amazing grace what love was for. You forgave my insensitivity and my attempt to then mislead you. You stood beside a wretch like me, your pretty amazing grace was all I needed. Stumbled inside the doorway of your chapel, humbled and awed by everything I found. Beauty and love surround me, freed me from what I feared, asked for amazing grace and you appeared. You overcame my loss of hope and faith, gave me a truth I could believe in. You led me to a higher place, showed your amazing grace when grace was what I needed. Look in a mirror I see your reflection, open a book, you live on every page. I fall and you're there to lift me, you share every road I climb, and with amazing grace, you ease my mind. I came to you with empty pockets first, when I returned, I was a rich man. Didn't believe love could quench my thirst but with amazing grace, you showed me that it can. In your amazing grace, I had a vision. From that amazing place, I came to be. Into the night I wandered, wandering aimlessly, found your amazing grace to comfort me. Pretty amazing, pretty amazing... You overcame my loss of hope and faith, gave me a truth I could believe in. You led me to that higher place, showed me that love and truth and hope and grace were all I needed Red Red Wine Red, red wine goes to my head, makes me forget that I still need her so. Red, red wine, it's up to you. All I can do I've done but memories won't go, memories won't go. I had sworn that in time thoughts of you would leave my head. I was wrong, now I find just one thing makes me forget. Red, red wine, stay close to me. Don't let me be alone. It's tearing apart my blue, blue heart. I had sworn that in time thoughts of you would leave my head. I was wrong, now I find just one thing makes me forget. Red, red wine, stay close to me. Don't let me be alone. It's tearing apart my blue, blue heart. Save Me A Saturday Night How did I ever find you? I've been waiting so long. But now your trouble's behind you, time is hurrying on and all that I want is save me a Saturday night, leave me some room at your table. Slip into your heart if I might and stay just as long as I'm able. Baby, save me a Saturday night. I'll be someone you count on, sure, it's hard to believe. But try just keep me around, I'm yours, I just want to be wherever you need me. Save me a Saturday night, leave me some room at your table. Slip into your heart if I might and stay just as long as I'm able. Baby, save me a Saturday night. Save me a Saturday night, leave me some room at your table. Slip into your heart if I might and stay just as long as I'm able. Baby, save me a Saturday night. Please, a Saturday night, leave me some room at your table. Slip into your heart if I might and stay just as long as I'm able. Baby, save me a Saturday night. September Morn (Diamond/Becaud) Stay for just a while, stay, and let me look at you. It's been so long, I hardly knew you, standing in the door. Stay with me a while, I only wanna talk to you. We've traveled halfway 'round the world to find ourselves again. September morn, we danced until the night became a brand new day, two lovers playing scenes from some romantic play. September morning still can make me feel that way. Look at what you've done. Why, you've become a grown-up girl. I still can hear you crying in the corner of your room. And look how far we've come, so far from where we used to be. But not so far that we've forgotten how it was before. September morn, do you remember how we danced that night away? Two lovers playing scenes from some romantic play. September morning still can make me feel that way. September morn, we danced until the night became a brand new day, two lovers playing scenes from some romantic play. September morning still can make me feel that way. September morning still can make me feel that way. Shilo (original version) Young child with dreams. Dream every dream on your own. When children play, seems like you end up alone. Papa says he'd love to be with you if he had the time. So you turn on the only friend you can find, there in your mind. Shilo, when I was young, I used to call you name. When no one else would come, Shilo, you always came and we'd play. Young girl with fire, something said she understood. I wanted to fly, she made me feel like I could. Held my hand out, and I let her take me, blind as a child. All I saw was the way that she made me smile, she made me smile. Shilo, when I was young, I used to call you name. When no one else would come, Shilo, you always came and you'd stay. Had a dream, and it filled me with wonder, she had other plans. "Got to go, and I know that you'll understand," I understand. Shilo, when I was young, I used to call you name. When no one else would come, Shilo, you always came, come today. Slow It Down Pick it up, hurry, up son, eat on the run if you wanna get done. Greed, speed, where does it lead you? Wanna succeed and you're thinking you need to. But are you really sure? It's a lot to endure, but I got me a cure, slow it down. Slow it down, yeah. Slow it down, take your time and you'll find your time has a meaning. Easy now, catch the sound of your heartbeat before it's leaving. You say you want satisfaction, try stepping away from the action, get some traction between you and the scenery. Sail away, not too fast, it don't last just thought I would mention. Day by day, see that view, it's for you, just pay some attention. Forget about competition, you're due for an intermission, stop your wishing you won't get there by dreaming. Slow it down, slow it down, yeah. Take your time, even Einstein reclined, designing his theory. Doing fine, make it flow, let it go, you'll see it more clearly. You're looking for bigger and greater and counting on sooner or later, that's no way to get around getting weary. Slow it down, slow it down, slow it down. Solitary Man Melinda was mine till the time that I found her holding Jim, loving him. Then Sue came along, loved me strong, that's what I thought. Me and Sue, but that died too. Don't know that I will, but until I can find me a girl who'll stay and won't play games behind me, I'll be what I am, a solitary man, solitary man. I've had it to here, being where love's a small word. Part-time thing, paper ring. I know it's been done, having one girl who'll love me. Right or wrong, weak or strong. Don't know that I will, but until I can find me a girl who'll stay and won't play games behind me, I'll be what I am, a solitary man, solitary man... Song Sung Blue Song sung blue, everybody knows one. Song sung blue, every garden grows one. Me and you are subject to the blues now and then. But when you take the blues and make a song, you sing them out again, sing them out again. Song sung blue, weeping like a willow. Song sung blue, sleeping on my pillow. Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice. And before you know, start to feeling good, you simply got no choice. Song sung blue, everybody knows one. Song sung blue, every garden grows one. Me and you are subject to the blues now and then. But when you take the blues and make a song, you sing them out again. Song sung blue... Songs Of Life (Diamond/Becaud) Songs of life, they ring from quiet steeples to distant valleys, along the hillsides of lovers' hearts, of lovers' hearts. Come sing you songs of life and they will keep you from ever wanting, from ever needing for ever more, for ever more. Oh, and when the moment's true, it sings so softly to me and you, you know it's true. So I sing my songs of life and I will hold you inside forever and you will know me and I'll be yours and you'll be mine. Oh, and when the moment's true, it sings so softly to me and you, you know it's true. So I sing my songs of life and I will hold you inside forever and you will know me and I'll be yours and you'll be mine. Soolaimon Come she, come say, ride on the night. Sun becomes day, day shall provide. Soo, soolaimon, soolai, soolai, soolaimon. Soo, soolaimon, soolai, soolai, soolaimon. Soo, soolaimon, soolai, soolai, soolaimon. God of my want, want, want, Lord of my need, need, need Leading me on, on, on, on to the woman, she dance for the sun. God of my day, day, day, Lord of my night, night, night, Seek for the way, way, way, taking me home. She calling. Bring home my name on the wings of a flea. Wind in the plains, dance once for me. Soo, soolaimon, soolai, soolai, soolaimon. Soo, soolaimon, soolai, soolai, soolaimon. Soo, soolaimon, soolai, soolai, soolaimon. God of my want, want, want, Lord of my need, need, need Leading me on, on, on, on to the woman, she dance for the sun. God of my day, day, day, Lord of my night, night, night, Seek for the way, way, way, taking me home where she calling my name... Stones Stones would play inside her head. And where she slept, they made her bed. And she would ache for love and get but stones. La la la la la la la la la. Lordy, child, a good day's coming. And I'll be there to let the sun in and being lost is worth the coming home, la la la la la la la la la, on stones. You and me, a time for planting. You and me, a harvest granting the every prayer ever prayed for just two wild flowers that grow la la la la la la la la la on stones. Summerlove (Diamond/Becaud) Summer love, they call it summer love. But oh, how it feels. And I don't believe make believe, but I was a lonely boy and you were a lonely girl and we're together tonight, summer love made it right. Summer love, they called it summer love. But some how it's real. Could see by that look in your eyes that you were a lonely girl and I was a lonely boy and when the evening was done, summer love made us one. I don't believe make believe, but I was a lonely boy and you were a lonely girl and when the evening was done, summer love made us one. I was a lonely boy and you were a lonely girl but we're together tonight, we're together tonight, summer love made us one. Sweet Caroline Where it began, I can't begin to knowing, but then I know it's growing strong. Was in the spring and spring became the summer, who'd have believed you'd come along? Hands touching hands, reaching out, touching me, touching you. Sweet Caroline, good times never seemed so good. I've been inclined to believe they never would. But now I look at the night and it don't seem so lonely, we fill it up with only two. And when I hurt, hurting runs off my shoulders. How can I hurt when I'm with you? Warm, touching warm, reaching out, touching me, touching you. Sweet Caroline, good times never seemed so good. I've been inclined to believe they never would. Sweet Caroline, good times never seemed so good. I've been inclined to believe they never would... The Last Thing On My Mind (Paxton) It's a lesson too late for the learning, made of sand, made of sand. In the wink of an eye my soul is turning in your hand, in your hand. Are you going away with no words of farewell? Will there be not a trace left behind? Well, I could have loved you better, I didn't mean to be unkind. You know that was the last thing on my mind. You got reasons aplenty for going, this I know, this I know. For the weeds have been steadily growing. Please don't go, please don't go. Are you going away with no words of farewell? Will there be not a trace left behind? Well, I could have loved you better, I didn't mean to be unkind. You know that was the last thing on my mind. The Power Of Two Was getting deeper into the night, knew you weren't coming home. Nothing I was doing was right, and now I've got to face it alone. The night getting darker, baby, the darker it got, struggled with why and what, but I could not fight what I knew was true, I was not gonna get through the night without the power of two, me and you. Feeling like I'm out on a ledge, standing with my back to the wall. Used to be I'd go straight ahead, now I'm going nowhere at all. The night getting longer, baby, the longer it went, just didn't make any sense. Couldn't see, couldn't hear, didn't know what to do, was like I had no power at all without the power of two, me and you. I never knew before that two was more than one and one until that night. Was nothing I could do but think of how I'm losing you, and it shook me, it shocked me, you locked me out there. Looking for a place I could hide, searching for a corner to turn. Left me here alone for one night, showed me I had something to learn. I tried not to need you, but I needed you anyway. Wouldn't be easy to say, but the way that I see it, I'm half without you, and I'm not gonna make myself whole without the power of two, me and you. Morning couldn't wait, I knew that it was getting late, but I hung on. I had no choice at all, was either walk away or crawl, and I'm pleading, I'm bleeding, I think I'm falling deeper into that hole, deeper that I thought I could get. Like a bug that's stuck in a bowl climbing out's impossible, yet. he keeps trying harder, harder than he thought he could, I finally understood. I could hear, I could see, and the truth came through. We had ten times the power of one, we had the power of two, me and you. Was nothing we couldn't do, just me and you, we had the power of two. Turn Around (Diamond/Bacharach/Sager) Turn around, where do you think you're going? We've been through this door so many times. Just turn around, we've got to keep it going like we did before in better times. Turn around, look at me, can't you see, I'll be there for you if ever you should need me. You can run away, but you can never hide. There'll come a day you gonna have to face yourself. You'll wait and say, it wasn't worth goodbye. Turn around, look at me, I'm the guy who loves you. And when you get tired of running around, turn around, don't turn away, babe, turn around, I want you to stay. You and me, we still belong together. No one ever said we'd have an easy ride. When you love someone, you got to talk it over. When you love someone, you just don't let it die. Turn around, look at me, I just want to tell you what you're looking for you've already found. Turn around, don't turn away, babe. Turn around, I want you to stay. Turn around, don't turn away, babe. Just turn around, I want you to stay. Turn around, don't turn away, babe. Just turn around, I want you to stay. Walk On Water Walk on water, ain't it like her? She leads the children, ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right? And ain't it wondrous, the way she does it? Gives love and loves it, ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right? Light de light, we got morning, morning makes another day. Glory sight, got de dawning, Lordy, light the night away. Light de light, we got morning, morning makes another day. Glory sight, got de dawning, Lordy, light the night away. Light de light, we got morning, morning makes another day. Glory sight, got de dawning, Lordy, light the night away. She walks on water, oh, ain't it like her? She leads the children, ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right? Dear Lord, ain't it right? We Love is all about chemistry, isn't something you go off to school to learn. It isn't math or ancient history, it's the kind of thing that comes down to simple terms. It's not about you, it's not about me, love is all about we. Yes, it's all about we. Want to take you to that great unknown, show you to a place you've never been. Down a road where only lovers go but before we leave, I want to repeat again- It's not about you and it's not about me, love is all about we, all about we. With a string you can tie a knot but you gotta have something to tie it to Otherwise all you've got is a knot when it ties me to you, it's a whole other thing cause love is all about we, love is all about we. Love is not about young or old, touches everybody in a special way. It's a blanket when the nights are cold, it can even keep you dry on a rainy day. It's not about you, it's not about me, love is all about we. Yes, it's all about we. With a string you can tie a knot but you gotta have something to tie it to Otherwise all you've got is a knot when it ties me to you, it's a whole other thing cause love is all about we, love is all about we. No, it's not about you, it's not about me, love is all about we. Yes, it's all about we, say it's all about we. You and me, say it's all about we. You and me, love is all about we... What's It Gonna Be First you're running one way then you run another thinking you'd discover what you really need. Running in circles gonna get you nowhere. Why you want to go there? Where's it gonna lead? What's it gonna be when the night is cold? What's it gonna be when the morning scares you? Put your reservations all on hold, climb aboard and ride with me. Lonely gets you nowhere, only gets you zero. I may not be a hero but I'm the man you need. One way or another, you need a new direction. Make a new connection, hey, what's it gonna be? What's it gonna be? Do you take a chance? Are you gonna let the night defeat you? If you're telling me that you just can't dance? I say try it on and see. Move a little closer, try a little harder. Dancing with a partner helps you find the beat. Time to put it out there before it's moving past you so once again, I'll ask you what's it gonna be? What's it gonna be when the night is cold? What's it gonna be when the morning scares you? Put your reservations all on hold, climb aboard and ride with me. One way or another, you need a new direction. Make a new connection so what's it gonna be? What's it gonna be? What's it gonna be? What's it gonna be? What's it gonna be? Whose Hands Are These Whose hands are these that reach into a secret place? Whose hands are these that brush across my sleeping face? Like quiet waves, on silent shores, whose hands are these, these hands are yours. Whose name is called to find my soul in need of care? Whose name is called to answer when that need is there? A name that sings, who's music soars, whose name is called, that name is yours. When I need peace, a quiet that belongs to me to be released from on a loud and angry scene, I think of you, thinking of you quiets me as only you can do for me. Whose eyes are these that see into this place I live? Whose eyes are these, show me what I've yet to give? That see beyond unopened doors? Whose eyes are these, these eyes are yours. Where do I go when not a door is open wide? What can I know when questioned asked are unreplied? I know of one, one is all I need to confide to fill that place inside of me. Whose hands are these that touch me when my soul is bare? Whose hands are these that offer all they've got to share? To show the way and stay the course, whose hands are these, these hands are yours. Whose hands are these, these hands are yours. Yesterday's Songs Yesterday's songs don't stay around long not much anymore. Yesterday's words don't make themselves heard like they did before. Baby, yesterday's blues may be yesterday's news but the truth always stays the same. And the good things will never change like saying 'I love you.' Saying, 'I love you.' Yesterday's songs don't seem to be long, they're here and they're gone. Yesterday's moves don't stay in the grooves, they keep moving on. Maybe yesterday's rhyme was for yesterday's time and the future's not ours to see. But there's some things that always will be like saying, 'I love you.' Saying, 'I love you.' Just saying, 'I love you.' You Don't Bring Me Flowers (Diamond/Bergman/Bergman) You don't bring me flowers, you don't sing me love songs. You hardly talk to me anymore when you come through the door at the end of the day. I remember when you couldn't wait to love me, used to hate to leave me. Now after loving me late at night, when it's good for you and you're feeling alright, well, you just roll over and you turn out the light. And you don't bring me flowers anymore. It used to be so natural to talk about forever. But 'used to be's' don't count anymore, they just lay on the floor till we sweep them away. And baby, I remember all the things you taught me. I learned how to laugh and I learned how to cry. Well I learned how to love, even learned how to lie. You'd think I could learn how to tell you goodbye. Cause you don't bring me flowers anymore. Well, you think I could learn how to tell you goodbye. You don't say you need me, you don't sing me love songs. You don't bring me flowers anymore. You've Got Your Troubles (Cook/Greenway) I see that worried look upon your face. You've got your troubles, I've got mine. She's found somebody else to take your place, you've got your troubles, I've got mine. I too have lost my love today and all of my dreams have blown away. And so forgive me if I seem unkind, you've got your troubles, I've got mine. I'd help, another time, another place, you've got your troubles, I've got mine. She used to love me, that I know and it don't seem so long ago that we were walking and we were talking the way lovers do. You need some sympathy, well, so do I. You've got your troubles, I've got mine. I too have lost my love today and all of my dreams have blown away. You've got your troubles, I've got mine. You've got your troubles, I've got mine... |
