Ticket to ride

Composta por: John Lennon, Paul Mccartney

I think I'm gonna be sad
I think it's today, yeah
The boy that's driving me mad
Is going away

He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket... to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
And he don't care

He said that living with me
Was bringing him down, yeah
He would never be free
When I was around

He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket... to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
And he don't care

Don't know why he's riding so high
He ought to do right, he ought to do right by me
'Fore he gets to saying goodbye
He ought to do right, he ought to do right by me

I think I'm gonna be sad
I think it's today, yeah
The boy that's driving me mad
Is going away, oh

He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket... to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
And he don't care
Don't care where

Think I'm gonna be sad
Think I'm gonna be sad
Think I'm gonna be sad
Think I'm gonna be sad
Think I'm gonna be sad
Think I'm gonna be sad

(They long to be) Close to you

Letra de: Hal David
Música de: Burt Bacharach

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
Close to you

On the day that you were born, the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born, the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Wa, close to you
Wa, close to you
Ha, close to you
La, close to you

We've only just begun

Letra de: Paul Williams
Música de: Roger Nichols

We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way

(We've only begun)

Before the risin' sun
We fly
So many roads to choose
We'll start out walkin' and learn to run

(And yes, we've just begun)

Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watchin' the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together

And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow

(And yes, we've just begun)

Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watchin' the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together
Together

And when the evening comes
We smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes, we've just begun

For all we know

Composta por: Arthur James, Fred Karlin, Robb Wilson

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
Let's take a lifetime to say
I knew you well
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow for all we know

Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
Let's take a lifetime to say
I knew you well
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow for all we know

Rainy days and Mondays

Composta por: Paul Williams, Roger S. Nichols

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothin' ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Funny, but it seems I always wind up here with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny, but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me (the one who loves me)

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out (talk it out)
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around (hangin' around)
Nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Funny, but it seems that it's the only thing to do (only thing to do)
Run and find the one who loves me (ooh)

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out (to talk it out)
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around (hangin' around)
Nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
Hangin' around (hangin' around)
Nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get
Me down

Superstar

Composta por: Bonnie Bramlett, Leon Russell

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

Don't you remember, you told me you loved me, baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you, I really do

Loneliness is such a sad affair
And I can hardly wait to be with you again

What to say to make you come again? (baby)
Come back to me again (baby)
And play your sad guitar

Don't you remember, you told me you loved me, baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you, I really do

Don't you remember, you told me you loved me, baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you, I really do

Bless the beasts and children

Composta por: Barry DeVorzon, Perry Botkin Jr

Bless the beasts and the children
For in this world they have no voice
They have no choice
Bless the beasts and the children
For the world can never be
The world they see

Light their way
When the darkness surrounds them
Give them love, let it shine all around them
Bless the beasts and the children
Give them shelter from a storm
Keep them safe
Keep them warm

Light their way
When the darkness surrounds them
Give them love, let it shine all around them
Bless the beasts and the children
Give them shelter from a storm
Keep them safe
Keep them warm

Hurting each other

Composta por: Gary Geld, Peter Udell

No one in the world
Ever had a love as sweet as my love
For nowhere in the world
Could there be a boy as true as you, love

All my love I give gladly to you
All your love you give gladly to me
Tell me why then, oh why should it be that

We go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why

Closer than the leaves
On a weeping willow, baby, we are
Closer dear are we
Than the simple letters A and B are

All my life I could love only you
All your life you could love only me
Tell me why, then?
Oh why should it be that

We go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why

Can't we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry
Breaking each other's heart
Tearing each other apart
Can't we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry
Breaking each other's heart
Tearing each other apart
Can't we stop hurting each other

It's going to take some time

Composta por: Carole King, Toni Stern

It's gonna take some time this time
To get myself in shape
I really fell out of line this time
I really missed the gate
The birds on the telephone like, (next time)
Are cryin' out to me, (next time)
And I won't be so blind next time
And I'll find some harmony

But it's going to take some time this time
And I can't make demands
But, like the young trees in the winter time
I'll learn how to bend
After all the tears we've spent
How could we make amends?
So, it's one more round for experience
And I'm on the road again
And it's going to take some time this time

And I can't make demands

I'll learn how to bend

It's going to take some time this time
No matter what I've planned
And, like the young trees in the winter time
I'll learn how to bend
After all the tears we've spent
How could we make amends?
So, it's one more round for experience
And I'm on the road again
And it's going to take some time this time

Goodbye to love

Composta por: John Bettis, Richard Carpenter

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
And though it's not the easy way
I guess I've always known
I'd say goodbye to love

There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine
Surely time will lose these bitter memories
And I'll find that there is someone to believe in
And to live for something I could live for

All the years of useless search
Have finally reached an end
Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend
From this day love is forgotten
I'll go on as best I can

What lies in the future
Is a mystery to us all
No one can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls
There may come a time when I will see that I've been wrong
But for now this is my song

And it's goodbye to love
I'll say goodbye to love

Top of the world

Composta por: John Bettis, Richard Carpenter

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
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen

I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees, and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me

There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be, just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here

I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

I'm on the top of the world lookin' (down) down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

I won't last a day without you

Composta por: Paul Williams, Roger Nichols

Day after day I must face a world of strangers
Where I don't belong, I'm not that strong
It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to
Who will always care, you're always there

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

So many times when the city seems to be
Without a friendly face, a lonely place
It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you
And you'll always smile, it's all worthwhile

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

Touch me and I end up singing
Troubles seem to up and disappear
You touch me with the love you're bringing
I can't really lose when you're near
When you're near, my love

If all my friends have forgotten half their promises
They're not unkind, just hard to find
One look at you and I know that I could learn to live
Without the rest, I've found the best

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
Won't last a day without you, without you

SING

Composta por: Joe Raposo

Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things not bad
Sing of happy not sad

Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not
Good enough for anyone
Else to hear
Just sing, sing a song

Sing, sing a song
Let the world sing along
Sing of love there could be
Sing for you and for me

Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not
Good enough for anyone
Else to hear
Just sing, sing a song
(Just sing, sing a song)
Just sing, sing a song

This masquerade

Composta por: Leon Russell

Are we really happy
With this lonely game we play?
Looking for the right words to say
Searching but not finding
Understanding anyway
We're lost in this masquerade

Both afraid to say we're just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over, but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear
Each time I see your eyes
And no matter how hard I try
To understand the reason
Why we carry on this way
We're lost in this masquerade

We tried to talk it over, but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear
Each time I see your eyes
And no matter how hard I try
To understand the reason
Why we carry on this way
We're lost in a masquerade

We're lost in a masquerade
(And we're lost in a masquerade)

Yesterday once more

Composta por: John Bettis, Richard Carpenter

When I was young
I'd listen to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along
It made 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 loved so well

Every sha-la-la-la
Every wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing's
So fine

When they get to the part
Where he's breakin' her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more

Lookin' back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed

It was songs of love that
I would sing to them
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away

Every sha-la-la-la
Every wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing's
So fine

All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry

Just like before
It's yesterday once more

Please Mr. Postman

Composta por: Brian Holland, Freddie Gorman, Georgia Dobbins, Robert Bateman, William Garrett

(Stop!) Oh yes, wait a minute, Mr. Postman
(Wait) wait, Mr. Postman
(Please, Mr. Postman, look and see)
Oh, yeah (if there's a letter in your bag for me)
Please, please, Mr. Postman (why's it taking such a long time)
Oh, yeah (for me to hear from that boy of mine?)

There must be some word today
From my boyfriend so far away
Please, Mr. Postman, look and see
If there's a letter, a letter for me

I've been standing here and waiting Mr. Postman
So patiently
For just a card, or just a letter
Saying he's returning home to me

Mr. Postman (Mr. Postman, look and see)
Oh, yeah (if there's a letter in your bag for me)
Please, please, Mr. Postman (why's it taking such a long time)
Oh, yeah (for me to hear from that boy of mine?)

So many days you passed me by
See the tears standing in my eyes
You didn't stop to make me feel better
By leaving me a card or a letter

Mr. Postman (Mr. Postman, look and see)
Oh, yeah (if there's a letter in your bag for me)
Please, please, Mr. Postman (why's it taking such a long time?)
Why don't you check it and see one more time for me?

You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Ooh, Mr. Postman (Mr. Postman, look and see)
C'mon, deliver the letter, the sooner, the better (ah)

Desperado

Composta por: Don Henley, Glenn Frey

Desperado
Why don't you come to your senses?
You've been out riding fences
For so long now
Ah, you're a hard one
But I know that you've got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you... can I choose somehow

Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet

Now it seems to me some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the one that you can't get

Desperado
Ah, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
Freedom, ah, freedom, that's just some people talkin'
You're a prisoner walkin' through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the nite-time from the day

You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes... away?

Desperado
Why don't you come to your senses
Come down from your fences and open the gate
It may be rainin'... but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you...
You better let somebody love you
Before it's too late

Only yesterday

Composta por: John Bettis, Richard Carpenter

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
You were the dawn breaking the night
The promise of mornin' light
Filling the world surroundin' me
When I hold you

Baby, baby, feels like maybe
Things will be all right
Baby, baby, your love's made me
Free as a song, singin' forever

Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me
Tomorrow maybe even brighter than today
Since I threw my sadness away
Only yesterday

I have found my home here in your arms
Nowhere else on earth I'd really rather be
Life waits for us, share it with me
The best is about to be
And so much is left for us to see
When I hold you

Baby, baby, feels like maybe
Things will be all right
Baby, baby, your love's made me
Free as a song, singin' forever

Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me
Tomorrow maybe even brighter than today
Since I threw my sadness away
Only yesterday (only yesterday, only yesterday)

Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me

Solitaire

Composta por: Neil Sedaka, Phil Cody

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

A heart that cared
That went unshared
Until it died
Within his silence

And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him
Takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again

And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love
It always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire

A little hope
Goes up in smoke
Just how it goes
Goes without saying

There was a man
A lonely man
Who would command
The hand he's playing

And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him
Takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again

And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love
It always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire

And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him
Takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire

There's a kind of hush (All over the world)

Composta por: Geoff Stephens, Les Reed

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 just holding you tight

So listen very carefully
Get closer now and you will see what I mean
It isn't a dream
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
"I love you forever and ever"

There's a kind of hush
All over the world tonight
All over the world
People just like us have fallen in love

So listen very carefully
Get closer now and you will see what I mean
It isn't a dream
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
"I love you forever and ever"

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

I need to be in love

Composta por: Albert Hammond,  John Bettis, Richard Carpenter

The hardest thing I've ever done
Is keep believing
There's someone in this crazy world for me
The way that people come and go
Through temporary lives
My chance could come and I might never know

I used to say, no promises
Let's keep it simple
But freedom only helps you say goodbye
It took a while for me to learn
That nothin' comes for free
The price I've paid is high enough for me

I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

So here I am with pockets full of good intentions
But none of them will comfort me tonight
I'm wide awake at 4 am
Without a friend in sight
Hanging on a hope, but I'm alright

I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

Goofus

Composta por: Gus Kahn, Wayne King, William Harold

I was born on a farm out in Iowa
A flaming youth I was bound I would fly away
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 that I used to hear
When I'd start to play
Folks used to say
"Sounds a little goofus to me"

Corn fed chords appeal to me
I like rustic harmony
Hold a note and change the key
Hey, well, that's goofus

Not according to the rules
That you learn in music schools
But the folks just dance like fools
They sure go for goofus

Got a job but I just couldn't keep it long
The leader said that I played all the music wrong
So I stepped out with an outfit of my own

Got together a new kind of orchestra
And we all played just the same goofus harmony
And I must admit
We made a hit
Goofus has been lucky for me

Got together a new kind of orchestra
And we all played just the same goofus harmony
And I must admit
We made a hit
Goofus has been lucky for me
Goofus has been lucky for me
Goofus has been lucky for me

All you get from love is a love song

Composta por: Steven Eaton

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' for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame when you got to take the blame for a love song
Because the best love songs are written with a broken heart

And now the tears in my eyes are ever blinding
The future that lies before me I cannot see
Although tomorrow I know the sun is rising
Lighting up the world for everyone, but not for me

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' for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame when you got to take the blame for a love song
Because the best love songs are written with a broken heart

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' for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame when you got to take the blame for a love song
Because the best love songs are written with a broken heart

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' for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame when you got to take the blame for a love song
Because the best love songs are written with a broken heart

Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft

Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft

You've been observing our Earth
And we'd like to make
A contact with you

We are your friends

Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary, ultra emissaries

We've been observing your Earth
And one night we'll make
A contact with you

We are your friends

Calling occupants of interplanetary, quite extraordinary craft

And please come in peace, we beseech you
Only our love we will teach them
Our Earth may never survive
So do come, we beg you

Please, interstellar policeman
Oh won't you give us a sign
Give us a sign
That we've reached you
Oh do

With your mind you have ability to form
And transmit thought energy far beyond the norm
You close your eyes, you concentrate
Together, that's the way
To send the message we declare World Contact Day

Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft

Ah ah ah ahh

Ah ah ah ahh

Ah ah ah ahh

Calling occupants
Calling occupants
Calling occupants of interplanetary, anti-adversary craft

We are your friends

Sweet, sweet smile

Composta por: Juice Newton, Otha Young

You'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

I gotta know that you love me
And that you want me
And that you'll always be there
I've gotta know that you care

And I gotta feel your arms around me
And that you need me
And that you'll always be there
I've gotta know that you care

If my times are bringin' me down
You're the only one that I want around
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile every day

And if I'll all strung out
You're the only one who can straighten me out
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile every day

I gotta know that you love me
And that you want me
And that you'll always be there
I've gotta know that you care

And I gotta feel your arms around me
And that you need me
And that you'll always be there
I've gotta know that you care

I gotta know that you love me
And that you want me
And that you'll always be there
I've gotta know that you care

And I gotta feel your arms around me
And that you need me
And that you'll always be there
I've gotta know that you care

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

I believe you

Composta por: Dick Addrisi, Don Addrisi

I believe you
When you say that you will reach into the sky
And steal a star so you can put it on my finger
I believe you
(Ooh, ooh)
Baby, I believe you

I believe you
When you say that every time that we make love
Will be the first time we've made love
And every act of love will please you
(Ooh, ooh)
Baby, I believe you

Blind faith makes me follow you
I'd live in a cave if you wanted to
Just ask me and I'll marry you
You don't have to sell me
'Cause you overwhelm me
I've made up my mind for a life time

I believe you
When you swear your love will keep on growin' strong
And that forever isn't long enough to love me like you need too
(Ooh, ooh)
Baby, I believe you
Baby, I believe you
Honey, I love you

Blind faith makes me follow you
I'd live in a cave if you wanted to
Just ask me and I'll marry you
You don't have to sell me
'Cause you overwhelm me
I've made up my mind for a life time

I believe you
When you say you'll fill my body with your soul
And love will grow into a freckled little girl
Who looks like we do
(Ooh, ooh)
Baby, I believe you
(Ooh, ooh)
Baby, I believe you
(Ooh, ooh)
Honey, I love you

Touch me when we're dancing

Composta por: J.L. Wallace, Ken Bell, Terry Skinner

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

Come on touch me when we're dancing
You know you've got that lovin' touch
Oh touch me when we're dancing
I wanna feel you when I'm fallin' in love
Feel you when I'm fallin' in love

Tonight's the night and it feels so right
What my heart's saying to me
You're the one and I've waited so long
So let your love flow through me
Oh baby 'cause it feels so good
We can be this close
You've got me up so high
I could fly coast to coast

Come on touch me when we're dancing
You know you've got that lovin' touch
Oh touch me when we're dancing
I wanna feel you when I'm fallin' in love
Feel you when I'm fallin' in love

Touch me when we're dancing
You know you've got that lovin' touch
Ooh touch me when we're dancing
I wanna feel you when I'm fallin'
Feel you when I'm fallin' in love

Touch me when we're dancing
You know you've got that lovin' touch
Ohh touch me when we're dancing
I wanna feel you when I'm fallin'
Feel you when I'm fallin' in love

(Want you) Back in my life again

Composta por: Chris Christian, Kerry Chater

You know it doesn't seem that long ago
That I had your love and let it go
And I really let you down I know
I'm losin' your love

I guess it took a while for me to see
What it is you really mean to me
I've been as big a fool as I can be
For losing your love

I want you back in my life again
I don't want to be your remember when
I want you back in my life again
Let's go back to the place where it all began
I've lived long enough with your memory
Now I know that I need you here with me

There was a time I thought I had it made
But I didn't see the price I had paid
And the price gets higher ev'ry day
And all I can say is

You're the only one who knows my heart
So let's take it right back to the start
And I won't have to play the part
Of losing your love

I want you back in my life again
I don't want to be your remember when
I want you back in my life again
Let's go back to the place where it all began
I've lived long enough with your memory
Now I know that I need you here with me
I want you back in my life again

You're the only one who knows my heart
So let's take it right back to the start
And I won't have to play the part
Of losing your love

I want you back in my life again
I don't want to be your remember when
I want you back in my life again
Let's go back to the place where it all began
I've lived long enough with your memory
Now I know that I want you, know that I need you
Back in my life

Those good old dreams

Letra: John Bettis
Música de: Richard Carpenter

As a child I was known for make believin'
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 everywhere
Like a child's eyes on a Christmas night
I'm looking at you now
Findin' answers to my prayers

It's a new day for those good old dreams
One by one it seems they're comin' true
Here's the morning that my heart had seen
Here's the morning that just had to come through

Same old stage but what a change of scene
No more dark horizons, only blue
It's a new day for those good old dreams
All my life I've dreamed of lovin' you

You're a spark of a long forgotten fire
You're a touch of a slowly growin' wind
You're a taste of the ever-changing seasons
Tellin' me there are some things that don't end

We have left all the darkness far behind us (behind us)
All those hopes that we had along the way
Have made it to this day
Like an old love song gone for much too long
You hear it once again
And it carries you away

It's a new day for those good old dreams
One by one it seems they're comin' true
Here's the morning that my heart had seen
Here's the morning that just had to come through

Same old stage but what a change of scene
No more dark horizons, only blue
It's a new day for those good old dreams
All my life I've dreamed of you I've dreamed of you

It's a new day for those good old dreams
And it's all because of you

Now

Letra de: Dean Pitchford
Música de: Roger Nichols

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
You light up my world like the morning sun
You're so deep within me we're almost one

And now all the fears that I had start to fade
I was always afraid love might forget me
Love might let me down
Then look who I found

The winds might blow through me
But I don't care
There's no harm in thunder if you are there

And now, now, now when I wake, there's someone home
I'll never face the night alone
You gave me the courage I need to win
To open my heart and to let you in
And I never really knew how, until now
Until now

No, I never really knew how until now

Make believe it's your first time

Composta por: Bob Morrison, Johnny Wilson

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
And now is all that matters anyhow

Make believe it's your first time
Leave your sadness behind
Make believe it's your first time
And I'll make believe it's mine

The door is closed
It's you and me
We'll take our time with love
The way it oughta be
This moment's ours
Tonight's the night
And if we fall in love
Well, that's alright

Make believe it's your first time
Leave your sadness behind
Make believe it's your first time
And I'll make believe it's mine

So close your eyes
And hold me close
And let our hearts pretend
That love is ours to share tonight
And it might never end

Make believe it's your first time
Leave your sadness behind
Make believe it's your first time
And I'll make believe it's mine
Make believe it's your first time
And I'll make believe it's mine

TRYIN' TO GET THE FEELING AGAIN

Composta por: David Pomeranz

At any moment
He'll be walking through that door
But he won't find me behind it

'Cause the feeling is gone and
Just won't come back anymore
I worked so hard to find it

I've been up
Down
Tryin' to get the feeling again
All around
Tryin' to get the feeling again
That one that made me shiver
Make my knees start to quiver
Every time he walks in

I've look high
Low
Everywhere I possibly can
But there's just no
Tryin' to get the feeling again
It seemed to disappear
As fast at it came

Read every book
Looked
For every meditation and poem
Just to bring home that old sweet sensation
But it ain't no use to me
To try to get the feeling again

When did it leave me
How did I come to miss use
Such a beautiful bonnet

But baby believe me
I've done everything I can do
But somehow it's no returnin'

I've been up
Down
Tryin' to get the feeling again
Like a bloodhound
Searching for a long lost friend
Could you help me rediscover
The way to re-be his lover
Once again

Read every book
Looked
For every meditation and poem
Just to bring home that old sweet sensation
But it ain't no use to me
To try to get the feeling again
I want to get that feeling again

Could you help me rediscover
The way to re-be his lover
Once again

Read every book
Looked
For every meditation and poem
Just to bring home that old sweet sensation
But it ain't no use to me
To try to get the feeling
I want to get that feeling again

Lovelines [Karen Carpenter]

Composta por: Rod Temperton

Darling
You've got me falling
'Cause you're the only one whoever does it right

Every night I'm dreaming
About the feeling
You know I can't explain what's going down
My head keeps spinning round

You’re on my lovelines
And that's all right with me
Just give good times
The way that love should be
Baby, you're the warm glow
That helps me through the day
And, darling, I know
I'll always feel this way
'Cause lovelines never fade

Lovelines don’t fade, my love

Baby
Come on and take me
Into that wonderland where only lovers go

Heaven knows I need you, I want to feel you
I got that strange sensation deep inside
That only you can satisfy

You’re on my lovelines
And that's all right with me
Just give good times
The way that love should be
Baby, you're the warm glow
That helps me through the day
And, darling, I know
I'll always feel this way

So give me loving
Like I've never know before
Make me cry out loud for more
My love

You’re on my lovelines
And that's all right with me
Just give good times
The way that love should be
Baby, you're the warm glow
That helps me through the day
And, darling, I know
I'll always feel this way
'Cause you're right on my lovelines
And that's all right with me
Just give good times
The way that love should be
Baby, you're the...

If I had you [Karen Carpenter]

Composta por: Gary Harju, Larry Herbstritt, Steve Dorff

I wouldn't have the TV in the bedroom
I wouldn't have this teardrop 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
If I could have your love to light my night
I'd never for a second keep our love from burning bright
If I had you in my life

If I had you again
I wouldn't be the fool I've been
If I had you again
I'd never let the loving end
If I had you again
I'd show you, baby, you're the only one

So say that you believe in second chances
And say you'll let me be with you tonight
If you'll take my hand I'll show you just how love could be so right
If I had you, if I had you

If I had you again
I wouldn't be the fool I've been
If I had you again
I'd never let the loving end
If I had you again
I'd show you, baby, you're the only one

If you'll take my hand I'll show you just how love could be so right
If I had you, if I had you

If I had you again
I wouldn't be the fool I've been
If I had you again
I'd never let the loving end
If I had you again

If I had you again
If I had you again
If I had you again
If I had you again

If I had you back in my life

Still crazy after all these years [Karen Carpenter]

Composta por: Paul Simon

I met my old lover on the street last night
He seemed so glad to see me
I just smiled
And we talked about some old times
And we drank ourselves some beers
Still crazy after all these years
Oh, still crazy after all these years

I'm not the kind of girl
Who tends to socialize
(To socialize)
I seem to lean on old familiar ways
And I ain't no fool for love songs
That whisper in my ears
Still crazy after all these years
Oh, still crazy after all these years

Four in the morning, crashed out, yawning
Longing my life away
I'll never worry

Why should I?
It's all gonna fade

Now I sit by my window
And I watch the cars
I fear I'll do some damage
One fine day
But I would not be convicted
By a jury of my peers
Still crazy after all these years
Oh, Still crazy
(Baby I'm crazy through all these years)
Still crazy
Still crazy after all these years

When time was all we had [Richard Carpenter]

Composta por: Pamela Philips Oland, Richard Carpenter

That endless season
When time was all we had
We saw forever
And caught it in our hands
Life was a charm
Our hearts were filled
With music and laughter
When time was all we had

I never will forget
Your face in silhouette
Your voice will be the sweetest sound
I’ll ever hear and yet
We knew somehow
The song would never end
When time was all we had to spend

I never will forget
Your face in silhouette
Your voice will be the sweetest sound
I’ll ever hear and yet
We knew somehow
The song would never end
When time was all we had to spend

Calling your name again [Richard Carpenter]

Composta por: Richard Carpenter, Richard Marx

I wake up in the dark
The silence brings me to my senses
I wonder where you are
Then I feel the pain
The pain in my heart
Coz I'm living without your love
I'm all - alone for the first time
And it doesn't seem to be a dream
A dream that will be over

All the words you said
Weren't enough to fool this heartache
The memories in my head
Are they enough to stop me falling apart?
Coz I'm living without your love
Maybe it won't be the last time
I don't know how much more I can take
Hopeless wide-awake and here I go…

Calling your name again
Thinking of all that we two had before
There's got to be more
This I know
Calling your name again
Remembering all the love you gave to me
And how it used to be…

I think of what's to come
Then I turned and see your picture
The tears began to fall
And soon again make sense of nothing at all
Coz I'm living without your love
Won't think that I'll make it this time
Something tells me this is not the end
Wish I could pretend but here I go

Calling your name again
Thinking of all that we two had before
There's got to be more
This I know
Calling your name again
Remembering all the love you gave to me
And how it used to be…

Calling your name again
Remembering all the love you gave to me
And how it used to be…

How it used to be…
