INXS: ORIGINAL SIN [ 10]




INXS (pronounced "in excess", In-X-S) are an Australian rock band, formed as The Farriss Brothers in 1977 in Sydney, New South Wales. Mainstays are Garry Gary Beers on bass guitar, Andrew Farriss on guitar/keyboards, Jon Farriss on drums, Tim Farriss on lead guitar and Kirk Pengilly on guitar/sax.For twenty years, they were fronted by Michael Hutchence on lead vocals, whose "sultry good looks" and magnetic stage presence made him the focal point of the band.Initially known for their New Wave/ska/pop style, they later developed a harder pub rock style,including funk and dance elements.

In the early 1980s, INXS first charted in their native Australia with their debut self-titled album, but later garnered moderate success elsewhere with Shabooh Shoobah and a single, "The One Thing". Though The Swing brought more success from around the world, its single "Original Sin" was even greater commercially, becoming their first number-one single. They would later achieve international success with a series of hit recordings through later in the 1980s and the 1990s, including the albums Listen Like Thieves, Kick, and X; and the singles "What You Need", "Need You Tonight", "Devil Inside", "New Sensation", and "Suicide Blonde".

In the 1990s, the band brought a new audience following Hutchence's romance with pop singer Kylie Minogue, and achieved greater acclaim in the UK However, starting with Welcome to Wherever You Are, in 1992, they achieved less success in the United States. Hutchence died in 1997 and INXS did not perform publicly for a year.[1] The band made appearances with several guest singers including Jimmy Barnes, Terence Trent D'Arby, and Jon Stevens; Stevens formally joined the band for a tour and recording session in 2002. In 2005, members of INXS participated in a reality television series, broadcast worldwide, culminating in the selection of their new lead singer, Canadian J. D. Fortune, and the release of "Pretty Vegas" and "Afterglow" as singles, and its album Switch. In late 2010, they recorded and released Original Sin, a tribute album, featuring guest artists such as Kavyen Temperley (of Eskimo Joe) and Ben Harper.

INXS has won six Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) awards including three for 'Best Group' in 1987, 1989 and 1992,[9] and was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2001.[10][11] To date INXS have sold more than 30 million records.

1. ORIGINAL SIN



You might know of the original sin
And you might know how to play with fire
But did you know of the murder committed
In the name of love - yeah
You thought what a pity

Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
And wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams have washed away

There was a time when I did not care
And there was a time when the facts did stare
There is a dream and it's held by many
Well I'm sure you had to see
It's open arms

Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
And wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams have washed away

You might know of the original sin
And you might know how to play with fire
But did you know of the murder committed

In the name of love - yeah
You thought what a pity

Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
Then wake up to a brand new day

Dream on black boy
Dream on white girl
And waked up to a brand new day
To find your dreams have washed away

Dream on black boy
Dream on white girl
And wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams are washed away

Dream on, play with fire
White boy, black girl
Dream on, in the name of love
Black boy, white girl

Dream on, white boy, black girl
Black boy, white girl

Dream on, the name of love - yeah
You thought what a pity
Original Sin





2. WHAT YOU NEED

Hey, here is the story
Forget about the trouble in life
Don't you know, it's not easy
When you gotta walk upon that line

That's why - You need
That's why - This is what you need
I'll give you what you need

Don't you get sad and lonely
You need a change from
What you do all day
Ain't no sense in all your crying
Just pick it up and throw it into shape

Hey you, won't you listen
This is not the end of it all
Don't you see there is a rhythm
I'll take you where you
Really need to be

3. NEVER TEAR US APART


Don't ask me
What you know is true
Don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart

I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears

I told you
That we could fly
'Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why

I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never ever tear us apart

4. BURN FOR YOU

[Songwriters: Farriss, Andrew; Hutchence, Michael;]

It's no use pretending
That I understand
The hide and seek we play with facts
It changes our demand

Tilt my hat at the sun
And the shadows they burn dark
Light me and I'll burn for you
And the love song never stops

I like the look in your eyes
When you talk that certain way
I love the day in the life
When you know that lover's way

Minding my own business
When you came along
The temperature's running hot
The fever was so strong

Tilt my hat at the sun
And the shadows they burn dark
Light me and I'll burn for you
And the love song never stops
Don't stop it

It's always an adventure
The fantasies we make a fact
Your the secret I desire
Well, I can't keep that to myself

When we're not together
It doesn't feel so bad
We could be so far apart
But our love's not sad

Yeah

It's no use pretending
That I understand
The hide and seek we play with facts
It changes our demand

Tilt my hat at the sun
And the shadows they burn dark
Light me and I'll burn for you
And the love song never stops
Don't stop it

6. DON'T LOOSE YOUR HEAD



You shot your mouth off like a kid
Who's scared to have a heart
Your loosing grip of what really matters
Cause you don't know where to start
You wake up in the morning
With a starfuck for a friend
The things you do are so in tune
With what you said you hate
What's giving you the will to live
Is it looking for revenge
The only laugh that you've got left
Is hiding from the pain
What must have happened to your soul
Is skinning you alive
The thing you fear most is love
And that's buried deep inside
So deep inside

Don't loose your head
Cause I can't do the time
Don't loose your head
Can you pay the price

The heart your building out of rock
Is turning into sand
Cause you never took the time to think
What it means to be a man
You act like you got the answer
When the question's never asked

I've been to where your coming from
But the postcards weren't so bad
The knife I carry has been sharpened
On the mouths that won't keep shut
I'll stab at you in the darkness
Cause I'm trying to shed some light
Your point of view is so meaningless
If you ever had one at all
All you seem to care about
Is who's gonna take the fall

Who's gonna take the fall for you

Don't loose your head
Now I can't do the time for you
Don't loose your head
Can you pay the price

Don't loose your head
Cause I can't do the time
Don't loose your head
Can you pay the price

Don't loose your head
If you can't do the time
Don't loose your head
Can you pay the price

Don't loose your head
You can't pay the price
Don't loose your head
You know I can't do the time

7. STRANGE DESIRE


My strange desire
Is waiting here
To be my light
My shadow my storm
This is all and
This is you
Turning into
Another dream
Please don't be
Another dream

Do you really think you're cared for
Do we really know we're loved
Look at all my resolutions
Promises to break your heart
Why do we make it hot to handle
Why do we lose our self control
Strange desire take me over
Offer me to the all above

This is all and this is you

Do you really think you're cared for
Do we really know we're loved
Look at all my resolutions
Promises to break your heart
Why do we make it hot to handle
Why do we lose our self control
Strange desire take me over
Offer me to the all above

Meet again touch again
Must have wanted
Some paradise
Long ago
That's unwise so unwise
Look again I said

Touch again
Believe your fate
That's alright that's alright

Do you really think you're cared for
Do we really know we're loved
Look at all my resolutions
Promises to break your heart
Why do we make it hot to handle
Why do we lose our self control
Strange desire take me over
Offer me to the all above

Do you really think you're cared for
Do we really know we're loved
Look at all my resolutions
Promises to break your heart
Why do we make it hot to handle
Why do we lose our self control
Strange desire take me over
Offer me to the all above

Do you really think you're cared for
Do we really know we're loved
Look at all my resolutions
Promises to break your heart
Why do we make it hot to handle
Why do we lose our self control
Strange desire take me over
Offer me to the all above

8. THE LOVED ONE


Yonder she's walking
She comes my way
Her red dress on
Her long black hair

Walking like
Talking like
Wanting like
She comes to me

Oh baby I love you so
I need you now
I want you back
I can't go on

Helpless baby
Evil child
I've known you well
And if you want to stay
That's alright
That's alright

And now she's gone
She's walking away
Her red dress on
Her long black hair

Well I love her so
And now she'll come running
Anytime I say now
Anytime I say

9. LOVE IS [ WHAT I SAY]

This is
Food of love
They said
They got it wrong
Smiling
You and I
Thinking
Never say die

What I say now
What I say now
I don't think we know each other
Enough to lie
Enough is enough anyway

These changes
Lives alone
Drowning
By the fire
Out of death
He becomes
A man without
Qualities

What I say now
What I say now
I don't think we know each other
Enough to lie
Enough is enough anyway

This is
Food of love
They say
They got it wrong
Smiling
You and I
Thinking
Never say die

What I say now
What I say now
I don't think we know each other
Enough to lie
Enough is enough anyway

You and I
What I say

10. TO LOOK AT YOU


What is the name to call
For a different kind of girl
Who knows the feelings
But never the words

To look at you
And never speak
Is so good
For me tonite

Who do you ask when there's no one
Left to turn to
You ask me and I'll always try to hear
Past money and colours and make believe
Good cheap values for a thrifty clown


To Look at You
And never speak
Is so good
For me tonite

What do you fear in the simple
Still of a summer's nite
I understand I sympathize for a day dream
Fairytales and I love you

What is the name to call
For a different kind of girl
Who knows the feeling's
But never the words

1. ALL OUT OF LOVE


[Songwriters: Davis, Clive; Russell, Graham;]

I'm lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know you hurt too, but what else can we do?
Tormented and torn apart

I wish I could carry your smile in my heart
For times when my life seems so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right, believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you?
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong

I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from these long lonely nights
I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too?
Does the feeling seem oh so right?

And what would you say, if I called on you now
Saying that I can't hold on
There's no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right, believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you?
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong

What are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you?
I can't be too late, I know I was so wrong

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you?
I can't be too late, I know I was so wrong

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right, believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right

2. LOVE HURTS


Love hurts, love scars, love wounds and mars
Any heart not tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud, holds a lot of rain
Love hurts, ooh, ooh love hurts

I'm young, I know, but even so
I know a thing or two I learned from you
I really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a flame, it burns you when it's hot

Love hurts, ooh, ooh love hurts

Some fools think of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
They're not fooling me

I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie, made to make you blue
Love hurts, ooh, ooh love hurts
Ooh, ooh love hurts
Ooh, ooh love hurts
Ooh, ooh love hurts
Ooh, ooh

3. LOST IN LOVE



[Songwriters: Russell, Graham]

I realized the best part of love is the thinnest slice
And it don't count for much
But I'm not letting go
I believe there's still much to believe in

So lift your eyes if you feel you can
Reach for a star and I'll show you a plan
I figured it out
What I needed was someone to show me

You know you can't fool me
I've been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on

Lost in love and I don't know much
Was I thinking aloud and fell out of touch?
But I'm back on my feet
And eager to be what you wanted

So lift your eyes if you feel you can
Reach for a star and I'll show you a plan
I figured it out
What I needed was someone to show me

You know you can't fool me
I've been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on

Lost in love and I don't know much
Was I thinking aloud and fell out of touch?
But I'm back on my feet
And eager to be what you wanted

You know you can't fool me
I've been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on

Lost in love and I don't know much
Was I thinking aloud and fell out of touch?
But I'm back on my feet
Eager to be what you wanted

Now I'm lost, lost in love, lost in love, lost in love
Now I'm lost, I'm lost in love, lost in love, lost in love

Lost in love, lost in love, lost in love
Lost in love, lost in love, lost in love

VIDEO



4. WHO WILL LOVE ME NOW

Who will love me now
Who will love me now (repeat)


Well I tried to give up
Walking the streets when I was with you
Snug as a bug in a rug
Never been so alone thinking about you


Who will love me now
Who will love me now (repeat)


Trying on my own
But living alone is one thing
I can never do
I could end it all now
But I'm not that crazy


Who will love me now
Who will love me now (repeat)


Oh I need all the love
that you once used to give me
Words are never enough
Now you can't be with me
I need all the love
But who will take my hand and show me how
Who will love me now


Being home by myself
Believing so much you'd walk through the door
And tell me you think I'm a fool
But you won't do that now
You've done it so often


Who will love me now
Who will love me now (repeat)


Trying on my own
But living alone is one thing I can never do
I could end it all now
But I'm now that crazy


Who will love me now
Who will love me now (repeat)


Oh I need all the love
that you once used to give me
Words are never enough
Now you can't be with me
I need all the love
But who will take my hand and show me how
Who will love me now

5. TOO SENTIMENTAL


One world, one love, these can never be apart
Whisper in your words what is in your heart
How can I stop this emotion knowing that it's true
Am I too sentimental for you
Have I gone too far
If I knew this feeling is part of you too, girl


Midnight, candlelight
Knowing you are close to me
So much I have inside
I've got to set it free


With you silence can be spoken
If love has broken through
Am I too sentimental for you

Have I gone too far
If I knew that this feeling is part of you too, girl


Ooh, sentimental man
Am I saying too much too soon
Cause I love you
Such a gentle girl
Waiting for you


One love, two touch, we can never be apart
I want you so much for what is in your heart
How can we stop this emotion knowing that it's true
Am I too sentimental for you
Have I gone too far
If I knew that this feeling is part of you too, girl

6. UNCHAINED MELODY


Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly and time can do so much
Are you still mine?

I need your love, I need your love
God speed your love to me

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh, "Wait for me, wait for me

I'll be coming home, wait for me"

Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered, hungered for your touch a long, lonely time
Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much
Are you still mine?

I need your love, I need your love
God speed your love to me

VIDEO



7. BECAUSE I LOVE YOU


If I got down on my knees and
I pleaded with you,
if I crossed a million oceans
just to be with you,
Would you ever let me down?

If I climbed the highest mountain
just to hold you tight,
if I said that I would love
you every single night,
Would you ever let me down?

Well, I'm sorry if it sounds kinds sad,
it's just that I'm worried,
so worried that you'll let me down.

Because I love you, love you,
love you, so don't let me down.

If I swam the longest river
just to call your name,

if I said the way I feel for
you would never change,
Would you ever fool around?
Well, I'm sorry if it sounds kinds bad,
it's just that I'm worried,
I'm so worried that you'll let me down.

Because I(love you, love you),
love you, love you.

Well I'm sorry if it sounds kinds bad,
it's just that I'm worried,
Yes, I'm so worried that you'll let me down.

Because I love you, love you,

Oooh, I love you, love you, love you.

8. MY HEART'S WITH YOU


I know you're leaving
I won't ask you to stay
I won't hold you back
I won't stand in your way
If that's what you've gotta do, I understand

It's not that easy setting you free
But that's how it's gotta be
And as you're walking away
As I'm watching you go
There's one thing I want you to know

Just remember my heart's with you
When the night gets so long and cold
And no ones there to hold and you're all alone
Take a moment to think of me
And the love that we used to know
And if you ever find you ever need me someday
I'm just a heartbeat away

Saying goodbye isn't saying were through
Just know through it all I'm still here for you
Light a light in the window
When your lost in the dark, ooh

These arms would be happy to hold you again
If ever you miss me or when you
Start thinking about
All the nights that we shared
Darling, you know Ill be there


Just remember my heart's with you
When the night gets so long and cold
And no ones there to hold and you're all alone
Take a moment to think of me
And the love that we used to know
And if you ever find you ever need me someday

You walk to the door with nothing to say
I look in your eyes and you look away
You're leaving me now, but darling, I hope
Hope that you'll look back someday

And remember my hearts with you
When the night gets so long and cold
And no one's there to hold when you're all alone
Baby, take a moment to think of me
And the love that we used to know
And if you ever find that you're all alone

Just remember my heart's with you
When the night gets so long and cold
And no ones there to hold and you're all alone
Take a moment to think of me
And the love that we used to know
And if you ever find that you're all alone

9. PUT LOVE IN YOUR LIFE


I don't need money and possessions
I don't need things to weigh me down
I don't need to be under suspicion
For all the things that never come around
All I need is you and your affection
To be a part of everything you do
To break thru a lost communication
To let me know that everything is true


CHORUS
Put love in your life, find it today and hold me tonight
You know there will always be me
There will always be you
Put love in your life, open your heart it won't be denied
The one you thought could not be
Is waiting for you
I don't need anxiety to hold me
In the name of something to embrace
I don't need society to scald me
To pin me down and slap me in the face
All I need is you and your affection
To be the judge and jury in my life
Searching for that moment of perfection
To let me know we surely are alive


CHORUS


The puzzled look the years of doubt
It all was meant to be
We can't escape the dreams we make
This feeling now just cannot wait
So share it with me

VIDEO



10. THIS HEART BELONGS TO ME


Where are all the tricks that people play
When they're afraid to say
I want you to hold on to me
If I let you go again tonight
Whose arms will keep me warm
And take me where I want to be
But if I lose and then surrender all I know
What would I do if you decided to let go
Hopelessly I'd stand there with everything all gone
My head down in my hands
Just wondering why


CHORUS
This heart belongs to me
And I know what I believe
But now it longs to be
Only with you


Where are all the words I sometimes say
When I'm afraid to ask
I want you to hold on to me
Anyway you want to let me know
You're sharing my belief
Of wanting to hold on to me
I tell the truth and risk you running from my life
So much to lose and yet
You know how hard I try
Hopelessly I'd stand there with everything all gone
My head down in my hands
Just wondering why


CHORUS


My love it goes only to one
This heart belongs to me
MY love it goes only to one
This heart belongs to me
My love
My love
This heart belongs to me
My love, my love
This heart belongs to me

VIDEO



11. HEART AND SOUL

Just loving you has left the world behind
I wish I knew how love could be so blind
Now all these thing I never can let go
Can't let go


I'd give you my heart & soul
(I'd give you my heart & soul)
If that's what it takes to prove myself to you


I understand my life has lost control
What would I do without your love to hold
Nobody knows how much I've come alive
All that I have to give I give to you from deep inside

I'd give you my heart & soul (I'd give you my heart & soul)
If that's what it takes to prove myself to you
I'd give you my heart & soul (I'd give you my heart & soul)
To hold you now and let your love come thru


And all these nights I sat alone waiting for someone
And here you are my very own, waiting for so long
I want to give you more than you have known before


VIDEO


12. CAN'T FIGHT THIS FEELING ANYMORE



I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show

I tell myself that I can't hold on forever
I say there is no reason for my fear
Cos I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction, you make everything so clear

And even as I wander, I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling any more
I've frgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars forever

Cos I can't fight this feeling any more
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor

Come crashing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling any more

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running around in circles in my mind
Babe it always seems that I'm following you
Cos you take me to the places that alone I'd never find

And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling any more
I've frgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars forever

Cos I can't fight this feeling any more
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby I can't fight this feeling any more

13. MAKING LOVE OUT OF NOTHING AT ALL


I know just how to whisper
and I know just how to cry
I know just where to find the answers
and I know just how to lie

I know just how to fake it
and I know just how to scheme
I know just when to face the truth
and then I know just when to dream

And I know just where to touch you
and I know just what to prove
I know when to pull you closer
and I know when to let you loose

And I know the night is fading
and I know that time's gonna fly
And I'm never gonna tell you
ev'rything I've got to tell you
But I know I've got to give it a try

And I know the roads to riches
and I know the ways to fame
I know all the rules and then
I know how to break them
and I always know the name of the game

But I don't know how to leave you
and I'll never let you fall
And I don't know how you do it
Making love out of nothing at all
(Making love) out of nothing at all
(Making love) out of nothing at all
(Making love) out of nothing at all
(Making love) out of nothing at all
(Making love) out of nothing at all
(Making love) out of nothing at all

Ev'ry time I see you all the rays of the sun

Are streaming through the waves in your hair
And ev'ry star in the sky is
taking aim at your eyes like a spotlight

The beating of my heart is a drum
and it's lost and it's looking for a rhythm like you
You can take the darkness from the pit of the night
and turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright
I've got to follow it
'cause ev'rything I know
Well it's nothing till I give it to you

I can make the run or stumble
I can make the final block
And I can make every tackle
at the sound of the whistle
I can make all the stadiums rock

I can make tonight forever
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn
And I can make you every promise
That has ever been made
and I can make all your demons be gone

But I'm never gonna make it without you
Do you really want to see me crawl?
And I never gonna make it like you do
Making love out of nothing at all
(Making love) out of nothing at all
(Making love) out of nothing at all
(Making love) out of nothing at all
(Making love) out of nothing at all
(Making love) out of nothing at all
(Making love) out of nothing at all....

14. GOODBYE...

[Songwriters: Thompson, Linda; Foster, David;]

I can see the pain living in your eyes
And I know how hard you try
You deserve to have so much more
I can feel your heart and I sympathize
And I'll never criticize
All you've ever meant to my life

I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
I don't want to hold you back
From where you might belong

You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say but good-bye

You deserve the chance at the kind of love
I'm not sure I'm worthy of

Losing you is painful to me

I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
I don't want to hold you back
From where you might belong

You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say but good-bye

You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to try
Though it's gonna hurt us both
There's no other way than to say good-bye

ANDY WILLIAMS: IN THE ARMS OF LOVE [14]







Howard Andrew "Andy" Williams (born December 3, 1927) is an American singer. Andy Williams has recorded 18 Gold[1] and three Platinum[2] certified albums. He had his own TV variety show from 1962–71. He also owns his own theater, the Moon River Theatre in Branson, Missouri.

Williams was born in Wall Lake, Iowa, the son of Jay Emerson and Florence (née Finley) Williams. He first performed in a children's choir at the local Presbyterian church. Williams and his three older brothers Bob, Don, and Dick formed the Williams Brothers quartet[3] in late 1938, and they performed on radio in the Midwest, first at WHO in Des Moines, Iowa, and later at WLS in Chicago and WLW in Cincinnati. Williams graduated from Western Hills High School in Cincinnati and his brother was engaged to Gene Ingram's car-pool partner, Peggy. The Williams Brothers appeared with Bing Crosby on the hit record "Swinging on a Star" (1944). This led to a nightclub act with entertainer Kay Thompson from 1947 to 1951

1: SPEAK SOFTLY


Speak softly, love and hold me warm against your heart
I feel your words, the tender trembling moments start
We're in a world, our very own
Sharing a love that only few have ever known

Wine colored days warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights when we are one

Speak softly, love so no one hears us but the sky
The vows of love we make will live until we die

My life is yours and all because
You came into my world with love so softly love

Wine colored days warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights when we are one

Speak softly, love so no one hears us but the sky
The vows of love we make will live until we die
My life is yours and all because
You came into my world with love so softly love

2. A SONG FOR YOU

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singin' this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but baby can't you see
(baby can't you see now)
There's no one more important to me (baby)
Baby can't you please see through me
'cause we're alone now and I'm singin' this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth,
withholdin' nothin'
You came out in front and I was hiding

But now I'm so much better and
if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody (listen to the melody)
cause my love's in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine
(you are a friend of mine)
And when my life is over,
remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singin' this song for you
We were alone and I was singin' this song for you
We were alone and I was singin' this song,
singin' this song for you

3. LOVE STORY


Where do I begin
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start

With her first hello
She gave a meaning to this empty world of mine
There'd never be another love another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart

She fills my heart with very special things
With Angel songs, with wild imaginings
She fills my soul with so much love
That any where I go, I'm never lonely

With her along who could be lonely
I reach for her hand, it?s always there

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I'll need her until the stars all burn away
And she'll be there

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I'll need her until the stars all burn away
And she'll be there


VIDEO




4. THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM


To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go.

To right the unrightable wrong
To be better far than you are
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest, to follow that star,
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To be willing to give when there's no more to give

To be willing to die so that honor and justice may live

And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star.

5. FALLING IN LOVE WITH LOVE

Falling In Love With Love lyrics
Falling in love with love is falling for make-believe
Falling in love with love is playing the fool
Caring too much is such a juvenile fancy
Learning to trust is just for children in school

I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see

I fell in love with love, with love everlasting
But love fell out with me

Oh, I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see
I fell in love with love, with love everlasting
But love fell out with me..

6. YOU DON'T WANT MY LOVE

You Don't Want My Love lyrics
In the summertime when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
'Cause you don't want my love

"Some other time", that's whatcha say when I want you
Then you laugh at me and make me cry
'Cause you don't want my love

You don't seem to care a thing about me
You'd rather live without me
Than to have my arms around you
When the nights are cold and you're so all alone
(All alone)

In the summertime when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
'Cause you don't want my love

Once upon a time you used to smile and wave to me
And walk with me but now you don't
'cause you don't want my love

Some other guy is takin' up all your time

Now ya don't have any time for me
'Cause you don't want my love

You don't seem to care a thing about me
You'd rather live without me
Than to have my arms around you
When the nights are cold and you're so all alone
(All alone)

In the summertime when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
'Cause you don't want my love

In the summertime when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
'Cause you don't want my love

(In summertime, in summertime when all the leaves are green)
In the summertime, I'll be blue all the time

7. THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE

The Shadow of your smile
When you are gone.
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn.

Look into my eyes
My love and see
All the lovely things
You are to me.

Our whistful little star
Was far too high,

A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I.

[chorus]
Now when I remember Spring,
All the joy that love can bring...
I will be remembering,

The Shadow Of Your Smile.

(repeat chorus}

VIDEO



8. I WILL WAIT FOR YOU

If it takes forever I will wait for you
For a thousand summers I will wait for you
Till you're back beside me, till I'm holding you
Till I hear you sigh here in my arms

Anywhere you wander, anywhere you go
Every day remember how I love you so
In your heart believe what in my heart I know
That forevermore I'll wait for you

The clock will tick away the hours one by one

Then the time will come when all the waiting's done
The time when you return and find me here and run
Straight to my waiting arms

If it takes forever I will wait for you
For a thousand summers I will wait for you
Till you're here beside me, till I'm touching you
And forevermore sharing your love

VIDEO



9. LOVE LETTERS ON THE SAND


On a day like today
We pass the time away
Writing love letters in the sand

How you laughed when I cried
Each time I saw the tide
Take our love letters from the sand

You made a vow that you would ever be true
But somehow that vow meant nothing to you


Now my broken heart aches
With every wave that breaks
Over love letters in the sand

Now my broken heart aches
With every wave that breaks
Over love letters in the sand

VIDEO




10. IN THE ARMS OF LOVE


If I could hold you in the arms of love tonight
I'd never let you go
As the hours go by I'd show you why we've waited for this
As two lovers whisper low
If I could feel that magic kiss your lips invite
Imagine the joys I'd know
The day has died away, let's find a hideaway

And share the promise of a new tomorrow
In the arms of love tonight
The day has died away, let's find a hideaway
And share the promise of a new tomorrow
In the arms of love tonight
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm


VIDEO



11. PROMISE ME


Promise me love, promise me
Kisses sweet love, meant for me
Promise me love
That you'll love me tenderly
Oh love, promise me (promise me)

Promise me love, promise me (oh, promise me)
Arms to hold love, never set me free (oh, promise me)
Promise me love
That you'll love me tenderly
Oh love,promise me (oh, promise me)

I promise you blue cornflowers for your hair
A golden necklace and my heart I swear
I promise you a million promises I'd do
And they'll come true
Oh love, I promise you (ooh-ooh)


Promise me love, promise me (oh, promise me)
You'll be my love eternally (oh, promise me)
Swear it true love that you'll love me tenderly
Oh love, promise me (oh, promise me, love, oh, promise me)

I promise you blue cornflowers for your hair
A golden necklace and a ring to wear
I promise you a million promises I'd do
And they'll come true
Oh love, I promise you (ooh-ooh)

Promise me love, promise me
You'll be my love eternally (oh, promise me)
Swear it true love, that you'll love me tenderly
Oh love, promise me (oh, promise me, love, oh, promise me)

Fade

Oh, promise me
(oh, promise me, love, oh, promise me)

12. ARE YOU SINCERE?

Are you sincere when you say, "I love you"?
Are you sincere when you say, "I'll be true"?
Do you mean every word that my ears have heard?
I'd like to know which way to go, will our love grow?
Are you sincere?
(Are you sincere?)

Are you sincere when you say you miss me?
(You miss me)
Are you sincere every time you kiss me?
(You kiss me)

And are you really mine every day, all the time?
I'd like to know which way to go, will our love grow?
Are you sincere?
(Are you sincere?)

Are you really mine every day, all the time?
I'd like to know
(I'd like to know)
Which way to go
(Which way to go)
Will our love grow?
(Will our love grow?)
Are you sincere?

13. THE VERY THOUGHT OF YOU

The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king and foolish though it may seem

To me that's everything, the mere idea of you

The longing here for you
You'll never know, how slow the moments go
Till I'm near to you

I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love

VIDEO



14. YOU'RE JUST TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE


You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you

Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
So if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you

I love you baby and if it's quite all right

I need you baby to warm the lonely nights
I love you baby, trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray

Oh pretty baby, now that I've found you stay
And let me love you baby, let me love you

You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you

1. LOVE SONG

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you

2. FIRST LOVE


So little to say but so much time,
Despite my empty mouth the words are in my mind.
Please wear the face, the one where you smile,
Because you lighten up my heart when I start to cry.

Forgive me first love, but I'm tired.
I need to get away to feel again.
Try to understand why, don't get so close to change my mind.
Please wipe that look out of your eyes, it's bribing me to doubt myself;
Simply, it's tiring.

This love has dried up and stayed behind,

And if I stay I'll be alive,
Then choke on words I'd always hide.
Excuse me first love, but we're through.
I need to taste the kiss from someone knew.

Forgive me first love, but I'm too tired.
I'm bored to say the least and I, I lack desire.
Forgive me first love,
Forgive me first love,
Forgive me first love,
Forgive me first love,
Forgive me,
Forgive me first love,
Forgive me first love

3. MAKE YOU FEEL MY LOVE

[Songwriters: Dylan, Bob;]



When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
Though winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love

To make you feel my love

VIDEO



4. DON'T YOU REMEMBER


When will I see you again
You left with no goodbye
Not a single a word was said
No final kiss to seal any sins
I had no idea of the state we were in

I know I have a fickle heart
And a bitterness and a wandering eye and a heaviness in my head

[chorus]
But don't you remember
Don't you remember
The reason you loved me before
Baby, please remember me once more

When was the last time
You thought of me
Oh have you completely erased me from your memory
I often think about where I went wrong
The more I do the less I know I know I have a fickle heart

And a bitterness and a wandering eye and a heaviness in my head

[chorus]
But don't you remember
Don't you remember?
The reason you loved me before
Baby, please remember me once more

Gave you the space so you could breathe,
I kept my distance so you would be free,
And hope that you find the missing piece,
To bring you back to me,

[chorus]
Why don't you remember?
Don't your remember?
The reason you loved me before
Baby, please remember me once more

When will I see you again

VIDEO




5. ONE AND ONLY



You've been on my mind
I grow fonder every day
Lose myself in time
Just thinking of your face

God only knows
Why it's taken me so long
To let my doubts go
You're the only one that I want

I don't know why I'm scared
I've been here before
Every feeling, every word
I've imagined it all
You'll never know, if you never try
To forgive your past, and simply be mine

I dare you to let me be, your
Your one and only
Promise I'm worth it
To hold in your arms
So come on
And give me a chance
To prove I am the one who can
Walk that mile
Until the end starts

If I've been on your mind
You hang on every word I say
Lose yourself in time
At the mention of my name

Will I ever know
How it feels to hold you close
And have you tell me
Whichever road I choose you'll go

I don't know why I'm scared
Cos I've been here before
Every feeling every word
I've imagined it all

You'll never know
If you never try
To forgive your past
And simply be mine

I dare you to let me be your
Your one and only
I promise I'm worth it
To hold in your arms
So come on
And give me a chance
To prove I am the one who can
Walk that mile
Until the end starts

I know it ain't easy
Giving up your heart
I know it ain't easy
Giving up your heart (nobody's perfect)
I know it ain't easy (trust me I've learned it)
Giving up your heart (nobody's perfect)
I know it ain't easy (trust me I've learned it)
Giving up your heart (nobody's perfect)
I know it ain't easy (trust me I've learned it)
Giving up your heart (nobody's perfect)
I know it ain't easy (trust me I've learned it)
Giving up your heart

So I dare you to let me be your
Your one and only
I promise I'm worth it
To hold in your arms
So come on
And give me the chance
To prove I am the one who can
Walk that mile
Until the end starts
Come on
And give me a chance
To prove I am the one who can
Walk that mile
Until the end starts

6. HIDING MY HEART


[Brandi Carlile cover]

This is how the story went
I met someone by accident
It blew me away
It blew me away

It was in the darkest of my days
When you took my sorrow and you took my pain
And buried them away, you buried them away

I wish I could lay down beside you
When the day is done
And wake up to your face against the morning sun
But like everything I've ever known
You disappear one day
So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away

Drop me off at the train station
Put a kiss on top of my head
Watch me wave
You watched me wave

Then you went on home to your skyscrapers
Neon lights and waiting papers
That you call home
You call it home

I wish I could lay down beside you

When the day is done
And wake up to your face against the morning sun
But like everything I've ever known
You disappear one day
So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away

I woke up feeling heavy hearted
I'm going back to where I started
The morning rain, the morning rain
Although I wish that you were here
That same old road that brought me here
Is calling me home, It's calling me home

I wish I could lay down beside you
When the day is done
And wake up to your face against the morning sun
But like everything I've ever known
You disappear one day
So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away
And I can spend my whole life hiding my heart away

VIDEO



7. MELT MY HEART TO STONE


Right under my feet there's air made of bricks
Pulls me down turns me weak for you
I find myself repeating like a broken tune
And I'm forever excusing your intentions
And I give in to my pretendings
Which forgive you each time
Without me knowing
They melt my heart to stone

And I hear your words that I made up
You say my name like there could be an us
I best tidy up my head I'm the only one in love
I'm the only one in love

Each and every time I turn around to leave
I feel my heart begin to burst and bleed
So desperately I try to link it with my head
But instead I fall back to my knees
As you tear your way right through me
I forgive you once again
Without me knowing
You've burnt my heart to stone

And I hear your words that I made up
You say my name like there could be an us
I best tidy up my head I'm the only one in love
I'm the only one in love

Why do you steal my hand
Whenever I'm standing my own ground
You build me up, then leave me dead

Well I hear your words you made up
So I say your name like there could be an us
I best tidy up my head I'm the only one in love
I'm the only one in love

8. LAST NITE


Last night she said
Oh, baby
I feel so down
Oh, and turned me off
When I feel left out
So I
I turned around
Oh, baby
I don't care no more
I know this for sure
I'm walking
Out that door

Well, I've been in town
For just about fifteen
Whole minutes now
Oh, baby, I feel so down
And I don't know why
I keep walking for miles

But the people
They don't understand
No, girlfriends
They can't understand
Your grandsons
They won't understand
On top of this
I ain't ever
Gonna understand

Last night she said
Oh, baby

Don't feel so down
Oh, and turned me off
When I feel left out
So I, I turned around
Oh, baby
I'm gonna be alright
It was a great big lie
Cuz I left that night
Yeah

Oh, people
They don't understand
No, girlfriends
They don't understand
In spaceships
They won't understand
And me
I ain't ever
Gonna understand

Last night she said
Oh, baby
I feel so down
She had turned me off
When I feel left out
So I
I turned around
Oh, little girl
I don't care no more
I know this for sure
I'm walking
Out that door, yeah

9. DAY DREAMER

Daydreamer
Sitting on the seat, soaking up the sun
He is a real lover
Of making up the past and feeling up his girl
Like he's never felt her figure before

A jaw dropper
Looks good when he walks, he is the subject of their talk
He would be hard to chase
But good to catch, and he could change the world
With his hands behind his back, oh

You can find him sitting on your doorstep
Waiting for a surprise
And he will feel like he's been there for hours
And you can tell that he'll be there for life

Daydreamer

With eyes that make you melt, he lends his coat for shelter
Plus he's there for you when he shouldn't be
But he stays all the same, waits for you
Then sees you through

There's no way I could describe him
What I said is just what I'm hoping for

But I will find him sitting on my doorstep
Waiting for a surprise
And he will feel like he's been there for hours
And I can tell that he'll be there for life
And I can tell that he'll be there for life

VIDEO


10. BEST FOR LAST


[Songwriters: Adkins, Adele;]

Wait, do you see my heart on my sleeve?
It's been there for days on end
And it's been waitin' for you to open up
Just you baby, come on now, I'm trying to tell you just how
I like to hear the words roll out of your mouth finally
Say that it's always been me

That's made you feel a way you've never felt before
And I'm all you need and that you never want more
Then you'd say all of the right things without a clue
But you'd save the best for last like I'm the one for you

You should know that you're just a temporary fix
This is not rooted with you, it don't mean that much to me
You're just a filler in the space that happened to be free
How dare you think you'd get away with tryin' to play me

Why is it every time I think I've tried my hardest
It turns out it ain't enough, you're still not mentionin' love?
What am I supposed to do to make you want me properly?
I'm takin' these chances and gettin' nowhere
And though I'm trying my hardest you back to her
And I think that I know things may never change

I'm still hopin' one day I might hear you say

I make you feel a way you've never felt before
And I'm all you need and that you never want more
Then you'd say all of the right things without a clue
But you'd save the best for last like I'm the one for you

You should know that you're just a temporary fix
This is not rooted with you it don't mean that much to me
You're just a filler in the space that happened to be free
How dare you think you'd get away with trying to play me

But, despite the truth that I know
I find it hard to let go and give up on you
Seems I love the things you do
Like the meaner you treat me the more eager I am
To persist with this heartbreak runnin' around
And I will do until I find myself with you

And make you feel a way you've never felt before
And be all you need so that you never want more
Then you'd say all of the right things without a clue
And you'll be the one for me and me the one for you

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


VIDEO



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

VIDEO



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.

VIDEO


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)


VIDEO



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

VIDEO




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

1. A VERY SPECIAL LOVE SONG...


Babe, somewhere I know I'm gonna find it Babe
It'll have my love behind it
And it will be a symphony of all you mean to me
A very special love song
And Babe,
If there's a way you know I'm gonna say it Babe
If there's a melody I'll play it and I'll play it through
Especially for you
And all the words are true
A very special love song
So don't be surprised if your sitting alone

And you hear it
'Cause I'm gonna sing it to the whole big lonely world
So turn your radio way down low and get near it
And I'll tell the world
I love you girl
Babe, if there's an ounce of love
I'm gonna give it to you Babe
If there's a breath of life
I'm gonna live it everyday for you
And oh the whole night through singing just for you
A very special love song
For You

2. YOU NEVER REALLY WANTED ME


(A. Rich)
You never really wanted me
Now I can see
Yes I can see
You took your love and ran away from me
You've gone and now you're back
What do you want from me?
Standing there
Please don't cry over me
After all you never cried for me before
Why start now?


Isn't it a little late for that now girl
Don't go feeling sorry for yourself

Remember I loved you
I loved you
I never knew the games we played
Had such a lasting grip upon the plans we made
I was busy laughing waiting for the day
Now our time is gone
And there's nothing left to say
Standing there
Please don't cry over me
After you never cried for me before...

3. EVERY TIME YOU TOUCH ME I GET HIGH


And every time you're near I can fly
High above the clouds and rain
Way above the hurt and pain
And when you're gone I fall down from the sky
But every time you touch me I get high
I've been touched be the angels and
I've been kissed by the very best
I've been loved hard by quite a few
]
But after you
I forget the rest
'Cause every time you touch me I get high
And every time you're near me I can fly
When your fingers touch my skin
That's when I start to live again
'Cause without your love
I'd lay right down and die
Every time you touch me I get high

VIDEO



4. SINCE I FELL FOR YOU


When you just give love
And never get love
You'd better let love depart

I know it's so and yet I know
I can't get you out of my heart

You made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you

Love brings such misery and pain
I know I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you


Well, it's too bad
And it's too sad
But I'm in love with you

Oh, oh, oh, you love me
Then you snub me
But what can I do
I'm still in love with you

I, I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues most every night
Since I fell for you

Since I fell for you

5. HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT



Take the ribbon from your hair.
Shake it loose, and let it fall.
Lay it soft against my skin,
Like the shadows on the wall.

Oh come and lay down by my side,
‘Till the early morning light.
All I'm taking is your time.
So help me make it through the night.


I don't care what's right or wrong!
I don't try to understand!
Let the devil take tomorrow,
'Cause tonight I need a friend!

Yesterday is dead and gone,
And tomorrow's out of sight.
It’s so sad to be alone,
So, help me make it through the night!

(humming)

It’s so sad to be alone,
So, help me make it through the night!

I don’t want to be alone.
So, help me make it through the night!

6. THERE WON'T BE ANYMORE.



Don't wait for the postman,
If you're lookin for a letter from me.
There wont be anymore!

And don't sit by your telephone,
If you're waitin on a call from me.
There wont be anymore!
There wont be anymore!
Don't think of the love we had
Till you turned bad
And broke my loving heart in two.
And when your heart is breakin,
And you need some lovin from me,

There wont be anymore!
There wont be anymore!

Don't think of the love we had.

And broke my loving heart in two
And when your heart is breakin,
And you need some lovin from me,
There wont be anymore!
There wont be anymore!
It wont be like before.
There just wont be anymore!

7. I LOVE MY FRIEND



[B. Sherrill/N. Wilson}

She was crying
And I was lonely
And a band was playing
Some old love song
Someone had hurt her
And someone had left me
And We both needed something
To hold on to
Who knows
Tomorrow it might all end
But tonight I love my friend
I love my friend
And we'll make it
Maybe
Just maybe
Even though we're gonna share the night

In each other's arms
I'll treat her like a lady
And I'll call her baby
'Cause I love my friend
We'll make it
Maybe
Just maybe
Tomorrow when we start another day
And we don't know the way
I'll still treat her like a lady
Still call her baby
'Cause I love my friend
And we'll make it
Maybe

And I had a fight with my best girl friend.

9. LIFE HAS ITS LITTLE UPS AND DOWNS



I don't know how to tell her
That I didn't get that raise in pay today.
And I know how much she wanted the dress
In Bakers window, and it breaks my heart
To see her have to wait
And cancel all her plans she made to celebrate.
But I can count on her to take it
With a smile and not a frown.
She knows that life
Has it's little ups and downs,
Like Ponies on a merry-go-round.
And no one plants the grass green every time,
But she don't mind.
She wears a gold ring on her finger,
And it's mine.
The new house plans we've had so long,

I guess will gather dust another year.
And the daffodils are blooming
That she planted way last fall
Upon the hill, and over by the gate.
And Lord knows I hate to say again well have to wait.
But you can bet that shell just take it
With a smile and not a frown.
She knows that life has it's little ups and downs,
Like Ponies on a merry-go-round.
And no one plants the grass green every time,
But she don't mind.
She wears a gold ring on her finger,
And Im so glad that it's mine!
She wears a gold ring on her finger,
And Im so glad that it's mine!

And if you did, was she cryin' ... cryin'.

Hey. If you happen to see the most beautiful girl that walked out on me.

Tell her I'm sorry.
Tell her I need my baby.

Oh, won't you tell her that I love her.

I woke up this morining, realized what I had done.
I stood alone in the cold, grey dawn, and knew that I lost my morning sun.

I lost my head, and I said some things.
Now comes the heartaches that the morning brings.

I know I lost, but I couldn't see.

I let my world slip away from me.

So, hey. Did you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world?
And if you did, was she cryin' ... cryin'.

Hey. If you happen to see the most beautiful girl that walked out on me.
