1.After the lovin'
So I sing you to sleep
After the lovin'
With a song I just wrote yesterday
And I hope you can hear
What the words and the music have to say
It's so hard to explain
Everything that I'm feelin'
Face to face I just seem to go dry
But I love you so much
That the sound of your voice can get me high
Thanks for takin' me
On a one way trip to the sun
And thanks for turnin' me
Into someone
refren':
So I sing you to sleep
After the lovin'
I brush back the hair from your eyes
And the love on your face
Is so real that it makes me want to cry
And I know that my song
Isn't sayin' anything new
Oh, but after the lovin'
I'm still in love with you
refren'
And I know that my song
Isn't sayin' anything new
Oh, but after the lovin'
I'm still in love with you
Yes, after the lovin'
I'm still in love with you
Hmmm, after the lovin'
I'm still in love with you
2.Can't take my eyes off you
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off 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 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.
But 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 you.
I love you baby, and if it's quite all right,
I need you baby to warm the lonely night.
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 found you. Stay.
And let me love you, baby. Let me love you ...
I love you baby, and if it's quite allright,
I need you baby to warm the lonely night.
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 found you. Stay.
Oh pretty baby. Trust in me when I say: Oh pretty baby ...
3.Another time, another place
Her candles flicker in the fading light
I sit alone and watch that lonely night
I see you everywhere and I try desperately to hide
refren':
Another time, another place, I see that old familiar face
And I try hard to catch your eye
Another road, another mile, I see that old familiar smile
But you'll be with somebody new
Another night, another day, I'll see you standing in my way
I'll stop and say 'hello, my friend'
Another place, another time, you'll tell me you've been doing
fine
And walk away from me once more.
I try to run away from sad regrets
The bitter wine won't help me to forget
That I locked up my heart and threw away the precious key
refren'
Another night, another day, I'll see you standing in my way
I'll stop and say 'hello, my friend'
Another place, another time, you'll tell me you've been doing
fine
And walk away from me once more.
4.Love me with all your heart
Love me with all of your heart
That's all I want, love
Love me with all of your heart
Or not at all
refren':
just promise me this
That you'll give me all your kisses
Every winter every summer
Every fall
When we are far apart
Or when you're near me
Love me with all of your heart
As I love you
Don't give me your love
For a moment or an hour
Love me always as you love me
From the start
With every beat of your heart
refren'
5.And I love you so
And I love her so.
The people ask me how,
How I've lived till now.
I tell them I don't know.
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been.
But life began again
The day you took my hand.
And, yes, I know how lonely life can be.
The shadows follow me,
And the night won't set me free.
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me.
And you love me too.
Your thoughts are just for me;
You set my spirit free.
I'm happy as could be
The book of life is brief
And once a page is read,
All but love is dead.
And that is my belief.
And, yes, I know how loveless life can be.
The shadows follow me,
And the night won't set me free.
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around
Around me.
6.You are the sunshine of my life
'You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around,
You are the apple of my eye,
Forever you'll stay in my heart.
I feel like this is the beginning,
Though I've loved you for a million years,
And if I thought our love was ending,
I'd find myself drowning in my own tears.
You are the sunshine of my life,
That's why I'll always stay around,
You are the apple of my eye,
Forever you'll stay in my heart.
You must have known that I was lonely,
Because you came to my rescue,
And I know that this must be heaven,
How could so much love be inside of you?
You are the sunshine of my life, yeah,
That's why I'll always stay around,
You are the apple of my eye,
Forever you'll stay in my heart.
Love has joined us,
Love has joined us,
Let's think sweet love'
7.The most beautiful girl
The most beautiful girl in the world
Picks my ties out
She eats my candy
She drinks my brandy
The most beautiful girl in the world
The most beautiful star in the world
'tisn't Garbo
Isn't Dietrich
But a sweet trick
Who can make me believe it's a beautiful world
Social? Not a bit
Natural kind of wit
She'd shine anywhere
And she hasn't got platinum hair
The most beautiful house in the world
Has a mortgage
What do I care?
It's 'Good-bye, care'
When my slippers are next to the ones that belong
To the one and only beautiful girl in the world
Social? Not a bit
She's got a natural kind of wit
And I tell ya, she'd shine anywhere
And she hasn't got platinum hair
The most beautiful house in the world
It has a mortgage
What do I care?
It's 'Good-bye, care'
When my slippers are next to the ones that belong
To the one and only beautiful girl
The one and only beautiful girl
The one and only beautiful girl in the world
8.Help me make it through the night
Take the ribbon from your hair, Shake it loose and let it fall
Layin' soft upon my skin. Like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light
All I'm takin' is your time. 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. Lord, tonight I need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone. Help me make it through the night
I don't care what's right or wrong, (Yes, I do!)
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow. Lord, tonight I need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow's out of sight
Lord, it's bad to be alone. Help me make it through the night
9.Love is all
Everybody's got to live together
All the people got to understand
So, love your neighbour
Like you love your brother
Come on and join the band
Well, all you need is love and understanding
Ring the bell and let the people know
We're so happy and we're celebratin'
Come on and let your feelings show
Love is all, well love is all,
Love is all, can't you hear the call
Oh, love is all you need
Love is all you need at the Butterfly Ball
Ain't you happy that we're all together
At the ball in nature's countryside
And although we're wearing different faces
Nobody wants to hide
Love is all and all is love and
It's easy, yes it's so easy
At the Butterfly Ball where love is all
And it's so easy
All you need is love and understanding
Hey, ring the bell and let the people know
We're so happy and we're celebratin'
Let your feelings show
Love is all, yes love is all at the Butterfly Ball
Love is big, love is small
Love is free, love is all
At the Butterfly Ball
When you back's to the wall
When you're starting to fall
You got something to lean on
Love is everything
It can make you sing at the Butterfly Ball
Love is all, I say love is all, yes love is all
At the Butterfly Ball
10.Close to you
Why do birds
Suddenly appear?
Everytime you are near
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
Why do stars
Fall down from the sky?
Everytime you walk by
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
refren':
On the day that you were born
The angels got together and decided
To create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue
refren'2:
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
refren'
refren'2
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
Woo... Close to you...
11.Killing me softly with his song
Strumming my pain with his fingers
singing my life with his words
killing me softly with his song
killing me softly with his song
telling my whole life with his words
killing me softly with his song
I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him to listen for a while
And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes
I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on
He sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair
and then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there
But he just came to singing, singing clear and strong
12.Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
refren':
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
refren'
13.Can't smile without you
You know I can't smile without you,
I can't smile without you,
I can't laugh
And I can't sing,
I'm findin' it hard to do anything.
You see, I feel sad when you're sad,
I feel glad when you're glad,
If you only knew what I'm go ing through,
I just can't smile without you.
You came along just like a song
And brightened my day,
Who'd've believe that you were part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away.
And now you know I can't smile without you,
I can't smile without you,
I can't laugh and I can't sing,
I'm finding it hard to do anything.
You see, I feel sad when you're sad,
I feel glad when you're glad,
If you only knew what I'm going through,
I just can't smile.
Now some people sa y happiness takes so very long to find.
Well I'm finding it hard leaving your love behind me.
And you see,
I can't smile without you,
I can't smile without you,
I can't laugh
And I can't sing,
I'm findin' it hard to do anything.
Y ou see, I feel sad when you're sad,
I feel glad when you're glad,
If you only knew what I'm going through,
I just can't smile without you
14.Leaving on a jet plane
All my bags are packed
I'm ready to go
I'm standing here
Outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say good bye
But the dawn is breaking
Its early morn
The taxi is waiting
He's blowing his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
refren':
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around but
I tell you now they don't mean a thing
Every place I go I think of you
Every song I sing I sing for you
When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring
refren'
And now the time has come to leave you
One more time
Oh let me kiss you
And close your eyes
And I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times that I won't have to say
Oh kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
And I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
But I'm leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane. (9x)
15.My cherie amour
refren':
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
My Cherie Amour, lovely as a summer's day
My Cherie Amour, distant as the Milky Way
My Cherie Amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine
In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street
I've been near you, but you never notice me
My Cherie Amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore
That behind that little smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine
Maybe someday you'll see my face among the crowd
Maybe someday I'll share your little distant cloud
Oh, Cherie Amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine
refren'
16.Something
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around and it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
17.Forever and ever
Ever and ever,
Forever and ever
You'll be the one
That shines on me
Like the morning sun.
Ever and ever,
Forever and ever
You'll be my spring,
My rainbow's end
And the song I sing.
Take me far beyond imagination.
You're my dream come true,
My consolation.
Ever and ever,
Forever and ever
You'll be my dream,
My symphony,
My own lover's theme.
Ever and ever,
Forever and ever my destiny
Will follow you eternally.
Ever and ever,
Forever and ever
You'll be the one
That shines on me like the morning sun.
Ever and ever
Forever and ever
You'll be my spring,
My rainbow's end
And the song I sing.
Take me far beyond imagination.
You're my dream come true,
My consolation.
Ever and ever,
Forever and ever
You'll be the one
That shines on me like the morning sun.
Ever and ever
Forever and ever
My destiny
Will follow you eternally
18.Without you
Well, I can't forget this evening
And your face when you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows
Well, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
I had you there, but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know
refren':
I can't live, if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
I can't live, if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
Well, I can't forget this evening
And your face when you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows
refren'
(3x)
I can't live, if living is without you.
19.Everybody's talkin'
Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
People stopping staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Thru' the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Backing off of the North East wind
Sailing on summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone
20.In time
I can hear what you're thinking
All your doubts and fears
And if you look in my eyes, in time you'll find
The reason I'm here
And in time all things shall pass away
In time, you may come back someday
To live once more, or die once more
But in time, your time will be no more
You know your days are numbered
Count them one by one
Like notches in the handle of an outlaw's gun
You can outrun the devil, if you try
But you'll never outrun the hands of time
In time there surely, come a day
In time all things shall pass away
In time you may come back some say
To live once more, or die once more
But in time, your time will be no more
I can hear what you're thinking
