1. ALL I WANT IS YOU



(Carly SImon/Jacob Brackman/Andy Goldmark)

What do the neighbours say
When they hear us scream at night
Do they talk about a love
All in tatters
What do the neighbours know
About the heart and soul
The fire down below
That really matters
They can never guess
In the silences
That all I want is you
And the sexy hurricane
We got here
All I want is you
I don't want a man
To say "good morning dear"
Let 'em listen at the door

Let 'em listen through the floor
Let 'em go ahead and draw the wrong conclusion
So chase me 'round the room
Make me crazy like the moon
They can never guess
In the silences
That all I want is you
And the sexy hurricane that we share
All I want is you
I don't want a man
Who tiptoes up the stairs
All I want is you
And the freight train
Whistling over my track
All I want is you
And your Mack truck loving
Jumping me Jack!
Oh, Jack!

2. LOVE OF MY LIFE


I love lilacs and avocados
Ukuleles and fireworks
And Woody Allen and walking in the snow
But you've got to know that

You're the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
>From the moment I first saw you
The second that you were born
I knew that you were the love of my life
Quite simply the love of my life

I love Lucy and pumpernickel bread
The Statue Of Liberty and standing ovations
And falling into bed
But get it through your head that

You're the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life

You are the love of my life
From the moment I first saw you
The second that you were born
I knew that you were the love of my life
Quite simply the love of my life

You an drive me crazy
You can drive me anywhere
Here are the keys
Just do as you please
It may not always be easy

But you're the love of my life
My heart is riding on a runaway train
You are the love of my life
through all the pleasure and pain
From the moment I first saw you
I knew it right away
I knew that you were the love of my life
Simply the love of my life
You are the love
The great love of my life.

3. LOST IN YOUR LOVE


I’m lost in your love
Lost in my love for you
Everything that you say
Everything that you do
I’m lost in your love

I can find me a night
So lovely it might even change me
I can find me the place where mornings come from
But I’m lost when it comes to you

I’m lost in your love
So lost in my love for you

And I can’t see your face
‘Cause I’m tumbling through space
I’m lost in your love

Find me
Take me
Hold me
I can’t let you go free
‘Til you lose your love in me

I’m lost in your love
Lost in my love for you
Everything that you say
Everything that you do
I’m lost in your love

VIDEO WHY



4. YOU BELONG TO ME


(Carly Simon/Michael McDonald)

Why'd you tell me this
Were you looking for my reaction
What do you need to know
Don't you know I'll always be your girl
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got loving eyes of my own

(Chorus)
You belong to me
Tell her you were fooling
You don't even know her
Tell her that I love you

You belong to me
Can it be, honey, that you're not sure
Thought we'd closed the book - locked the door
You don't have to prove to me that you're beautiful to strangers
I've got loving eyes of my own
And I can tell - I can tell darling
Tell her - tell her that I love you

You belong - you belong - you belong to me
Tell her you were fooling
Tell her she don't even know you
Tell her you were fooling
I know you from a long time ago, baby
Don't leave me to go to her now
You belong to me.

5. ARE YOU TICKLISH


Are you ticklish
Or did I just hit a funny bone
Are you ticklish
Are we really alone?

Do you like me
Or am I just hoping for too much
Do you like me
Do you like to touch
Do you like me

I hear there's another side to you
Well there's another side to me too
Let's get over to the other side
Real soon

I hear there's an underneath to you
Well there's an underneath to me too
Let's get down underneath
Real soon

Are you lonesome
Well everybody's lonesome
So it's safe to assume you're lonesome
But are you ticklish
Are you ticklish

6. LOVE YOU BY HEART

[Carly Simon/Libby Titus/Jacob Brackman)

The lies that you tell will leave you alone
They'll keep you down,
they'll catch you and trip you up
Keep you hangin' around

The habit is old - you don't need it anymore
Go on and kiss it goodbye
'Cause you got me, and I can see
Who you really are
I want to show you my heart
I want to know you by heart
And love you by heart

I'm right here beside you
there's nobody else to set you straight
To shake you, to let you know

That it's still not too late -
I want to show you my heart
I want to know you by heart
And love you by heart

Don't make up stories,
I know you by your eyes
I think I know what's inside

The streets you've been on
Will leave you out in the cold
But you know I care,
And years from now
We'll both look down from the top of the stairs -
Here I've shown you my heart
I want to know you by heart
And love you by heart

7. LOVE IS ETERNAL


(Carly Simon/Teesa Gohl)

I've been doing a lot of thinking
About growing older and moving on
Nobody wants to be told that they're getting on
And maybe going away
For a long, long stay
But just how long and who knows
And how and where my spirit will go
Will it soar like Jazz on a saxophone
Or evaporate on a breeze
Won't you tell me please
That life is eternal
And love is immortal
And death is only a horizon
Life is eternal
As we move into the light
And a horizon is nothing
Save the limit of our sight
Save the limit of our sight


Here on earth I'm a lost soul
Ever trying to find my way back home
Maybe that's why each new star is born
Expanding heaven's room
Eternity in bloom
And will I see you up in that heaven
In all it's light will I know you're there
Will we say the things that we never dared
If wishing makes it so
Won't you let me know
That life is eternal
And love is immortal
And death is only a horizon
Life is eternal
As we move into the light
And a horizon is nothing
Save the limit of our sight
Save the limit of our sight

8. WAITED SO LONG

Please tell my sweet mother
Go on now tell uncle Paul
Tell all my girlfriends
Not to wait for me
Daddy, I'm no virgin
And I've already waited too long

Raise up your eyebrows
Raise, I said raise your glasses with a song
But don't expect me to be home tonight
Daddy, I'm sorry
But I've already waited too long

I met a boy with eyes of green
The warmest eyes I'd ever seen

He gave his lovin' love to me
The way I've always heard it would be

Daddy, please forgive me
And I've already waited so long

So blow, blow, blow out the candles
make my bed wide and long
Tell all my girlfriends
Not to wait for me
Daddy, I'm no virgin
I said I've already waited too long

Daddy, I'm sorry
But I've already waited so long

9. IS THIS LOVE


(Bob Marley)

I wanna love you
And treat you right
I wanna love you
Every day and every night
We’ll be together with a roof
Right over our head
We’ll share the shelter of my single bed
We’ll share the same room,
God will provide the bread

Chorus:
Is this love, is this love, is this love, is this love
That I’m feeling
Is this love, is this love, is this love, is this love
That I’m feeling
I’m willing and able
So I throw my cards on the table

I wanna love you
And treat you right
I wanna love you
Everyday and every night
We’ll be together with a roof
Right over our heads
We’ll share the shelter of my single bed
We’ll share the same room
God will provide the bread

Is this love, is this love, is this love, is this love
That I’m feeling
Is this love, is this love, is this love, is this love
That I’m feeling I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know now

Chorus

I wanna love you
I wanna treat you right
I wanna love you
Everyday and every night
We’ll be together with a roof right over our heads
We’ll share the shelter, yeah, of my single bed
We’ll share the same room
God will provide the bread

IF IT WAS NO LOVE VIDEO



10. THE LOVE IS STILL GROWING


(Buzzy Linhart)

And I'm so high
I can't go on
Oh but I
Can sing this song

Because the love's still growing
And the love's still growing

Some folk say
That all hope is gone
]
But today, the world is one

Because the love's still growing
And the love's still growing

It's time to say
It's time to know
that it's O.K., that some must go.

11. I'VE GOT TO HAVE YOU


(Kris Kristofferson)

You came smilin' softly, shyly movin'
Easy as a dreamer into my room.
And before I realized the danger
I found myself looking into your eyes.
Somewhere in their colours I saw promises
Of things I'd never seen before
It's all over...I've got to have you.

Holding onto, talking, saying nothing.
Knowing in a moment I could lose you.
Then without a warning I remembered that
You trembled at the touch of my hand.

Knowing when you came to me that no one else
Would ever feel the same in my arms
It's all over...I've got to have you.

Wakin' in the morning to the tenderness
Of holding you asleep in my arms.
Dreaming while my hair was blowing
Softer than a whisper on my cheek.
I don't know the feeling so I don't know if it's love
But it's enough...It's enough
I can't help it...I've got to have you.
It's all over...I've got to have you.

12. TO NIGHT AND FOR EVER


(Simon/Schwatrz)

I’ve waited years
For you tonight
My faith in love has been my guiding light
I heard your voice
I read your heart
I fell in love with you though we were miles apart

tonight and forever
Tonight and forever I am yours

O sister make
My wedding bed
Tie a bunch of wild thorn branches
At the head
And scatter roses on the floor
Three bright stars shining at our door


Tonight and forever
Tonight and forever
Tonight and forever, I am yours

And a song on the wind
Rising from the sea

A fire so cold
A flame so new
No, I could never ask for more than you
The moon is high
The tide is in
Now the night is ours
Let the dance begin

Tonight and forever
Tonight and forever, I am yours

VIDEO



13. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME


(Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance)

I think of you now and then
But I remember when love was new
And you were mine, my love
So why would we pretend
We were lovers and now we’re friends
I don’t want to say goodbye to you
Again, my love

(Chorus)
It should have been me
That’s lovin?you instead of someone else
I needed you but how was I to know
It should have been me
That’s holding you through all the lonely nights
I knew that I should never let you go,

My love

What we once had is gone
No tears, no right, no wrong
It could never be the same again, my love
The more we see the less we know
Now you believe our love will grow
I don’t want to say goodbye to you again,
My love

(Chorus)

My love, how would I survive
With another broken heart
On my own again
When I need a friend
To help me find a place to start

(Chorus)

14. BODY AND SOUL


(Heyman/Sour/Eyton/Green)

My heart is sad and lonely
I sigh for you
For you dear only
Why haven’t you seen it
I’m all for you body and soul
I spend my days in longing
And wonder why
It’s me you’re wronging
I tell you I mean it
I’m all for you body and soul
I can’t believe it

It’s hard to conceive it
That you’d turn away romance
Are you pretending
It looks like the ending
Unless you’d give me one more chance
To prove dear
My life a wreck you’re making
You know I’m yours just for the taking
I’d gladly surrender
Myself to you - Body and Soul

15. DAMN YOU GET TO ME


Hey, when I say things that bother you
Don’t be a stubborn man
Don’t leave me in the cold
Remember who I am
Damn, you get to me
When I can’t get to you,
No fair, you’re silent and you’re hurt
And all I want to do
Is know what I’ve done wrong
All I want to know is what to do
Damn, you get to me

When I can’t get to you
There’s too much long distance
In our love
And tonight I need you
Don’t run away, please let me know
How I’ve hurt you
Hey, it’s me, see I’m the lucky one
You’ve opened up my heart
You led me by the hand
You took me slow so I would understand
Damn, you got to me
Let me get to you


YOU GET TO ME VIDEO
