Bryan White | Love Happens Just Like That | /b/bryan+white/love+happens+just+like+that_20025791.html | You didn't notice me right beside you
I said you looked like someone that I knew
A little lie to get you to talk to me awhile
You're eyes oh how they melt me
Your smile, girl heaven help me
Your lips kiss and tell me a thing or two
Oh, the happy ending this could be
Swept away in love and all it's glory
One minute hearts are lonely
The next each other's only
Then darlin', I just know we'd fall that fast
So don't you ever think it can't
Love happens just like that
I could try and act like I don't care
But, bein' shy that gets me nowhere
Though I admit, I'm a little bit scared to talk to you
A risk, yeah maybe
But it's one worth taking
'Cause I see a love in the making here with you
Oh, the happy ending this could be
Swept away in love and all it's glory
One minute hearts are lonely
The next each other's only
Then darlin', I just know we'd fall that fast
So don't you ever think it can't
Love happens just like
Lightning striking, flames igniting
In an instant, souls igniting
One minute hearts are lonely
Then the next each other's only
Then darlin' I just know we'd fall that fast
So don't you ever think it can't
Love happens just like
Don't you ever think it can't
Love happens just like that
It happens just like that
Love happens just like that

Bryan White | Never Get Around To It | /b/bryan+white/never+get+around+to+it_20025803.html | STILL GOT YOUR PICTURE UP ON THE WALL
I CAN'T TAKE' EM DOWN
I KEEP EXPECTING YOU TO CALL
BUT YOU DON'T MAKE A SOUND
TIME AIN'T SUPPOSED TO PASS THIS SLOW
I SHOULD HAVE FORGOTTEN YOU LONG AGO
I JUST NEVER GET AROUND TO GETTING OVER YOU
I'M TIRED OF PUTTING IT OFF TILL TOMORROW
SHOULD'VE DONE IT YESTERDAY
NO GAIN IN DROWNING IN MY SORROW
AND JUST WASTING AWAY
JUST WHEN I THINK I GOT IT MADE
YOU NEVER FAIL TO GET IN THE WAY
I JUST NEVER GET AROUND TO GETTING OVER YOU
BRIDGE:
IF I COULD JUST CONVINCE MYSELF
TO OPEN MY EYES AND SEE
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE FOR ME
THEN I COULD START ALL OVER
AND GET ON WITH MY LIFE
AND BE FREE FROM YOUR MEMORY
I COULD BE FREE
(YOU SEE) YOU'RE STILL HERE AFTER ALL THIS TIME
AND I CAN'T ERASE YOU FROM MY MIND
I JUST NEVER GET AROUND
NEVER GET AROUND, BABY
NEVER GET AROUND TO GETTING OVER YOU

Bryan White | Nickel In The Well | /b/bryan+white/nickel+in+the+well_20025771.html | I've got a four leaf clover
I hung a horseshoe on the wall
I threw salt over my left shoulder
I'll try anything at all
To get lucky with you
I want you so much
Until you want me too
I ain't gonna give up
I'll throw another nickel in the well
Tell myself this time maybe it'll help
To make my dreams come true
Just in case you're out in your backyard
Lookin' up there too
With a lot of love and a little luck
You'll fall like I fell
I'll just cross my fingers
And throw another nickel in the well
If I could get Houdini
To teach me a trick or two
Then maybe you would see me
In the way I want you to
Gonna knock on wood
It ain't been easy
I've done everything I could
To make you need me
I'll throw another nickel in the well
Tell myself this time maybe it'll help
To make my dreams come true
Just in case you're out in your backyard
Lookin' up there too
With a lot of love and a little luck
You'll fall like I fell
I'll just cross my fingers
And throw another nickel in the well
With a lot of love and a little luck
You'll fall like I fell
I'll just cross my fingers
And throw another nickel in the well
Yeah, just cross my fingers
And throw another nickel in the well

Bryan White | On Any Given Night | /b/bryan+white/on+any+given+night_20025772.html | I'd be foolin' myself, thinkin' I've got it made
I just can't assume true love won't fade
I'll keep on listenin' to her, say I'm glad that I found her
Keep on showin' her how my world turns around her
'Cause
On any given night
She could walk away
She won't be mine for the takin'
And that's the price that I'd pay
'Cause love's ever-changin'
And in the blink of an eye
Teardrops could fall
And I could lose it all
On any given night
She's the sensitive kind, she needs a connection
And cannot be so blind to lose my direction
I'll keep on walkin' that mile, show her how far I'll go
Keep on letting her hear all she needs to know
On any given night
She could walk away
She won't be mine for the takin'
And that's the price that I'd pay
'Cause love's ever-changin'
And in the blink of an eye
Teardrops could fall
And I could lose it all
On any given night
Teardrops could fall
And I could lose it all
On any given night

Bryan White | Rebecca Lynn | /b/bryan+white/rebecca+lynn_20025783.html | Rebecca Lynn grew up in Carolina
Half a mile from Tucker Cherry's farm
A quiet girl with green eyes full of fire
Her daddy's pride and all her mama's charm
Rebecca Lynn became my heart's desire
Long about the start of second grade
Mrs. Roosenbloom let me sit beside her
So we'd pass notes and after school we'd play
[Chorus]
Singing ring around the rosie
Pocket full of dreams and posies
Patty cake and baker's man
Tag your it, kick the can
And I think I hear my mama calling
Gotta go
Man I loved her so
High school days with me and Becky learning what it really means to be in love
Give and take, holding back for Heaven's sake
And fighting for a week and making up
I said please Becky won't you marry me
Prom night in my car out by the curb
She was so surprised, first she laughed and then she cried
And somewhere in my heart I'm sure I heard
[Chorus]
Mama flashed the porch light for me
Gotta go
Man I loved her so
When love is wrong it dies and that's the way it goes
But when it's right, your love grows
Laura Jean was born in Tennessee
Now that's a common little miracle I know.
But for me and Becky Lynn she's the dream that started
When we fell in love so many years ago
[Chorus]
And I think I hear your mama calling
Gotta go
Oh man I loved you so

Bryan White | Tree Of Hearts | /b/bryan+white/tree+of+hearts_20025806.html | On a tree inside a heart
A dull boyscout knife
Took half a day to carve
Michael loves Caroline
He just turned ten and she was nine
The summer she turned sweet sixteen
He finally found his nerve
And took her out to see
And what she saw through her tears
Were seven hearts for seven years
CHORUS:
And they stood beneath the tree of hearts
And they watch their feelings grow
And they swore they'd never be apart
True love left it's mark
On the tree of hearts
The tenth time he carved their names
Caroline's dad was giving her away
There beneath the shelter of
The tree of hearts they pledged their love
And then four hearts down the road
They brought the first of two born home
CHORUS:
And they played beneath the tree of hearts
And they watched their children grow
And they swore they'd never be apart
True love left it's mark
On the tree of hearts
BRIDGE:
In the blinking of an eye
Somehow fifty-seven hears flew by
Fifty-eight, fifty-nine
Sixty he missed Caroline
At sixty-one Michael knew
There wouldn't be a sixty-two
CHORUS:
Now they lay beneath the tree of hearts
An you can watch their love still grow
Where they swore they'd never be apart
True love left it's mark
On the tree of hearts.

Bryan White | Winter Wonderland | /b/bryan+white/winter+wonderland_20810530.html | Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'?
In the lane, snow is glistenin'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Gone away is a bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, "Are you married?", we'll say, "No man"
But you can do the job, you're in town
When it snows, ain't it thrillin'?
Though, your nose gets a little chilly
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, "Are you married?", we'll say, "No man"
You can do the job when you're in town
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

Bryan White | You'll Always Be Loved | /b/bryan+white/youll+always+be+loved_10053035.html | Well this old world can get you down
And leave you spinning 'round and 'round
Not knowing what's for real
On this crazy wheel
Is part of the deal, baby
There's only one sure thing I know
I never want to let you go
I'll be here by your side
On this circus ride
Through every drop and climb
'til the end of time
When everything is moving fast
It's hard to stay together
I know that we can make it last
We'll find a way to weather
Any storm heaven sends
We'll see it through to the end
We've got it made if you can just believe
You'll always be loved by me
And when you go to bed at night
And I'm not there to hold you tight
I'll love you from afar
No matter where you are
I'll count the days 'til when
I'm with you again
And when we're growin' old
I'll be the one to hold you close
When everything is fading fast
We'll face the end together
We'll find a way to make it past
One final storm to weather
And even after the end
I will be with you again
We've got it made if you can just believe
You'll always be loved by me

Cake | Alpha Beta Parking Lot | /c/cake/alpha+beta+parking+lot_20026674.html | Standing in the Alpha Beta parking lot
Watching the sun set
I'll never forget
Watching all the reds and oranges slip away
Letting go of yet another dirty day
Breathing in the fumes from so many idling cars
Right beneath the sign with the dusty yellow stars
Watching the sun go down
Watching the sun go down
Watching the sun, the sun
Watching the sun go down
Standing in the Alpha Beta parking lot
Watching you leave me
Not quite believing
Standing in the Alpha Beta parking lot
Watching the sun set
I'll never forget
Breathing in the fumes from so many idling cars
Right beneath the sign with the dusty yellow stars
Watching the sun go down
Watching the sun go down
Watching the sun, the sun
Watching the sun go down
Breathing in the fumes from so many idling cars
Right beneath the sign with the dusty yellow stars
Watching the sun go down
Watching the sun go down
Watching the sun, the sun
Watching the sun go down
Watching the sun, the sun
Watching the sun go down
Watching the, the sun, go down

Cake | Commissioning A Symphony In C | /c/cake/commissioning+a+symphony+in+c_20026637.html | So you'll be an Austrian nobleman
Commissioning a symphony in see
Which defies all earthly descriptions
You'll be commissioning a symphony in C
With money you squeeze from the peasants
To your nephew you can give it as a present
This magnificent symphony in see
You'll be commissioning a symphony in C
Completely filling the palace concert hall
It's warm and golden like an oven that's wide open
It has a melody both happy and sad
Built on victorious known triads
You enter the room with great caution
Though no-one in the hall is even watching
They are transfixed, they are forgetting just to breathe
They are so taken by your symphony in C
You are sitting there thinking your thoughts
They are not about what is but what is not
You are sitting there breathing in your breath
You are seldom breathing life but mostly death
So you'll be an Austrian nobleman
Commissioning a symphony in C
Which defies all earthly descriptions
You'll be commissioning a symphony in C

Cake | Dime | /c/cake/dime_10055599.html | In the brown shag carpet of a cheap motel
In the dark and dusty corner by the TV shelf
Is a small reminder of a simpler time
When a crumpled up pair of trousers cost a brand new dime
Well you ask me how I made it through and how my mint condition could belong
to you
When I'm on the ground I roll through town
I'm a president you don't remember getting kicked around
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine I'm freshly minted
I am determined not to be dented
By a car or by a plane or anything not yet invented
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine
In the hiss and rumble of the freeway sounds
As the afternoon commuters drive their cars around
There's a ringle jingle near the underpass
There's a sparkle near the fast food garbage and roadside trash
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine I'm freshly minted
I'm silver-plated I'm underrated
You won't even pick me up because I'm not enough for a local phone call
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine
I'm a dime
I'm fine
And I shine

Cake | End Of The Movie | /c/cake/end+of+the+movie_10055608.html | People you love
Will turn their backs on you.
You'll lose your hair,
your teeth,
your knife will fall out of it's sheath.
But you still don't like to leave before the end of the movie.
People you hate
Will get their hooks into you.
They'll pull you down,
you'll frown,
they'll tar you and drag you through town.
But you still don't like to leave before the end of the movie.
No you still don't like to leave before the end of the show.

Cake | Friend Is A Four Letter Word | /c/cake/friend+is+a+four+letter+word_20026648.html | To me
Coming from you
Friend is a four letter word
End is the only part of the word
That I heard
Call me morbid or absurd
But
To me
Coming from you
Friend is a four letter word
To me
Coming from you
Friend is a four letter word
End is the only part of the word
That I heard
Call me morbid or absurd
But
To me
Coming from you
Friend is a four letter word
When I go fishing
for the words
I am wishing you would say to me,
I am really only praying that
The words you'll soon be saying
Might betray
The way you feel about me
But to me,
Coming from you,
Friend is a four letter word

Cake | got to move | /c/cake/got+to+move_20901295.html | You have always got to move,
You're always trying to prove that,
There is something new in,
Everything you do.
You are mostly in your car,
You always seem so far,
No matter where you are,
You're thinking of your car,
And everything you say,
Is really just a play,
For you to get your way,
And I found out yesterday,
That no matter what you say,
And no matter what you do,
That you have got to
You have always got to move,
You're racing just to prove that,
There is something new,
In everything you do.
You are mostly on the phone,
You say you're coming home,
You say you're all alone,
But I know you're not alone.
And everything you say,
Is really just a play,
For you to get your way,
And I found out yesterday,
That no matter what you say,
And no matter what you do,
That you have got to move.

You're racing just to prove that,
There is something new in,
Everything you do.

Cake | Guitar | /c/cake/guitar_20026676.html | I'm sitting by the window of your 32nd floor apartment
Waiting for your phone calls all to end
I'm sitting, watching wind blow, watching time go, watching cars go by
I'm waiting for these memories to begin
If I threw my guitar
Out the window so far down
Would I start to regret it?
Or would I smile and watch it slowly fall, fall, fall?
Garbage trucks and taxi cabs don't seem like they can reach me here
The clamor of jackhammers seems so faint
Well the way you treat me like the only slightly brings me down a lot
I don't think that I'll ever be the same
If I threw my guitar
Out the window so far down
Would I start to regret it?
Or would I smile and watch it slowly fall, fall, fall?
If I threw my guitar
Out the window so far down
Would I start to regret it?
Or would I smile and watch it slowly fall, fall, fall?

And I am only biding time
Only reciting memorized lines
And I'm not fit to touch
The hem of your garment
No, no, I'm not fit to touch

Still I wallow in the mire.

Like she'd done one hundred times before.
Jolene smoothed her dark hair in the mirror.
She folded the towel carefully and put it back in place.
Yeah I want to pull you down into bed.
I want to cast your face in lead.
Well every time I pull you close
Push my face into your hair
Cream rinse and tobacco smoke
That sickly scent is always always there.
Jolene heard her father's uneven snores.
Right then she knew there must be something more.
Jolene heard the singing in the forest.
She opened the door quietly and stepped into the night.
Yeah I want to throw you out into space.
I want to do whatever it takes, takes, takes.
Well every time I pull you close,
Push my face into your hair,
Cream rinse and tobacco smoke,
That sickly scent is always, always there.

Cake | Opera Singer | /c/cake/opera+singer_20026641.html | I am an opera singer
i stand on painted tape
It tells me where I'm going
And where to throw my cape
I call my co-stars brother
I call my co-stars name
I play both good and evil parts
I sing to Verdi's grave
And every single morning
By 10 a.m I'm dressed
My rehearsals last for hours and hours
With diligence I have been blessed
Some people, they call me monster
Some people, they call me saint
My talent feeds my darker side
Yet no-one will complain
I am an opera singer
I sing in foreign lands
I've sung for Kings in Europe
And Emperors in Japan
And after each performance
People stand around and wait
Just to tell me that they loved my voice
Just to tell me that I'm great
I am an opera singer
I will sing when you're all dead
I sing the mountains crumbling apart
I sing what can't be said
I am an opera singer
I sing in foreign lands
Most people seem to know my name
Or at least know who I am

The bricks and mortar

At first they resisted but then they began to sway
How can you say forever is at your command
How can you say the future's in the palm
In the palm of your hand
When the house was standing
You'd never have believed it
When the house was standing
You'd never have believed
That gaping hole was once a foundation
Where you stand now were tools in the basement
How can you say forever is at your command
How can you say the future in the palm
In the palm of your hand

Cake | Pentagram | /c/cake/pentagram_20026668.html | Your pentagram is down below our floor.
Your naked body shimmers in the night.
Dancing and chanting in a sacrificial rite.
Your feet are dry with the ashes from dead babies
Who have passed the test just like all the rest
But never really understood the reasons why
They took it in the first place.
Ah in the first place.
Your feisty eyes won't make me fall apart.
Your turquoise and silver won't weaken this old heart.
Yeah, dancing and chanting in a sacrificial rite.
I fell to the ground on a windy, windy night.
Well I have passed the test just like all the rest,
But never really understood the reasons why
I took it in the first place.

You'd end up just like me
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd float down to the sea
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd say just what you please
Without the sticky little kitten
Your ticket could never be free
Without the tight little denim
Your virtues would all go unknown
Without the room that you live in
Your cancer would eat to the bone
Your muscles would bulge underground
Your demons would all be around
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd end up just like me
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd end up just like me
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd burn all these dying leaves
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd lift this steaming herd
You would kill all the sick ones
You would bury them deep in the earth
Without the tight little denim
Your virtues would all go unknown
Without the room that you live in
Your cancers would eat to the bone
Your muscles would bulge underground
Your demons would all be around
Without the pretty pink ribbon
You'd end up just like me

Cake | Rock 'n' Roll Lifestyle | /c/cake/rock+n+roll+lifestyle_20803585.html | Well your CD collection looks shiny and costly.
How much did you pay for your bad Moto Guzzi?
And how much did you spend on your black leather jacket?
Is it you or your parents in this income tax bracket?
Now tickets to concerts and drinking at clubs
Sometimes for music that you haven't even heard of.
And how much did you pay for your rock'n'roll t shirt
That proves you were there
That you heard of them first?
How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?
How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?
How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?
Ah, tell me.
How much did you pay for the chunk of his guitar,
The one he ruthlessly smashed at the end of the show?
And how much will he pay for a brand new guitar,
One which he'll ruthlessly smash at the end of another show?
And how long will the workers keep building him new ones?
As long as their soda cans are red, white, and blue ones.
And how long will the workers keep building him new ones?
As long as their soda cans are red, white, and blue ones.
Aging black leather and hospital bills,
Tattoo removal and dozens of pills.

But rock on completely with some brand new components.
How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?
How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?

Your self-destruction doesn't hurt them.
Your chaos won't convert them.
They're so happy to rebuild it.
You'll never really kill it.
Yeah, excess ain't rebellion.
You're drinking what they're selling.
Excess ain't rebellion.
You're drinking,
You're drinking,
You're drinking what they're selling.

Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?
The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town
It wasn't me that started this whole crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
Yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be
Oh Ruby, I still need some company
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, Ruby, I realize
But it won't be long, I've heard them say until I'm not around
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town
She's leaving now 'cause I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town
Oh Ruby, for God sakes turn around

Cause when the seaweed sinks and the sun gets low
When the waves retire to the darkness below
I know I know Ruby sees all.
I know I know Ruby sees.
I can feel the pressure building high.
You should see you're headed for a storm.
Don't you see it building in the sky?
Don't you think it's time to swim to shore?
Cause when the seaweed sinks and the sun gets low,
When the waves retire to the darkness below,
I know, I know Ruby sees all.
I know, I know Ruby sees all.
I know, I know Ruby sees.

Wondering in the night what were the chances
We'd be sharing love before the night was through
Something in your eyes was so inviting
Something in your smile was so exciting
Something in my heart told me I must have you
Strangers in the night, two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment when we said our first hello
Little did we know, love was just a glance away
A warm embracing dance away and
Ever since that night, we've been together
Lovers at first sight in love forever
It turned out so right for strangers in the night
Love was just a glance away
A warm embracing dance away and
Ever since that night, we've been together
Lovers at first sight in love forever
It turned out so right for strangers in the night

In spite of what you say
I found out yesterday that I've
Been wasting all my time
Trying to make you smile
Trying to make this seem worthwhile
You've been pushing me around
In spite of what I do
Trying to make things good for you
Take your economy car and your suitcase
Take your psycho little dogs
Take it all away
You've been racing through my mind
You're picking up in speed
You're driving recklessly
It's like a car crash happening on my street
Broken bodies at my feet
And sirens on the way
They're too late
'Cause nobody's going to save us
We're a rubbernecker's dream
We're burning gasoline
Go
Take your economy car and your suitcase
Take your psycho little dogs
Take it all away
And go
Go ahead and destroy this
Better come with an army
Are you feeling, feeling okay, baby?
Uh huh
Na na
Na na, na na, na
Na na, na na, na na, na na, na na
Take your economy car and your suitcase
Take your psycho little dogs
Take it all away

Cake | The Distance | /c/cake/the+distance_20026659.html | Reluctantly crouched at the starting line
Engines pumping and thumping in time
The green light flashes, the flags go up
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup
They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank
Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns
Their prowess is potent and secretly stern
As they speed through the finish, the flags go down
The fans get up and they get out of town
The arena is empty except for one man
Still driving and striving as fast as he can
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
And long ago somebody left with the cup
But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns
He's going the distance
He's going for speed
She's all alone
In her time of need
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
He's going the distance
No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine
He's haunted by something he cannot define
Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse
Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force
In his mind, he's still driving, still making the grade
She's hoping in time that her memories will fade
Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
And long ago somebody left with the cup
But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns
'Cause he's going the distance
He's going for speed
She's all alone
In her time of need
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
He's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
He's going the distance
He's going for speed

Cake | The Guitar Man | /c/cake/the+guitar+man_10055603.html | Who draws the crowd?
Who plays so loud?
Baby it's the guitar man
Who's gonna steal the show
You know baby it's the guitar man
He can make you love he can make you cry
He will bring you down he will get you high
Something keeps him going
Miles and miles away
To find another place to play
And night after night who treats you right
Baby it's the guitar man
Who's on the radio?
You know baby it's the guitar man
When he comes to town and you see his face
And you think you might like to take his place
Something keeps him drifting miles and miles away
Searching for the songs to play
Then you listen to the music and you'd like to sing along
And you want to get the meaning out of each and every song
And you find yourself a message and some words to call your own and take 'em
home
He can make you love he can get you high
He will bring you down he will make you cry
Something keeps him moving
But no one seems to know
What it is that makes him go
Then the lights begin to flicker and the sound is getting dim
The voice begins to falter and the crowds are getting thin
But he never seems to notice he's just got to find another place to play
(Fade away)
(Got to play)
(Fade away)

You have been
Cloudy distant and dark
I'm thinking of
Noah and the ark

I don't exactly know
But I know that it could turn into
One of my most poignant roles
Everyone will have their handkerchiefs out
And they'll have to leave the theater early
And then they'll go home
And what'll they do?
They'll have a big glass of alcohol

Something to make my heart beat the faster.
What did I long for? I never really knew.

Touching your hand, my heart beats the faster,
All that I want in all of this world is you.
You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long.
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song.
You are the angel glow that lights a star,
The dearest things I know are what you are.
Some day my happy arms will hold you,
And some day I'll know that moment divine,
When all the things you are, are mine!

Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
But when I reached Jamaica I made her stop
Now I'm sad to say
I'm on my way (on my way)
I won't be back for many a day
My heart is down
My head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls sway to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Though I have been from Maine to Mexico
Still I'm sad to say
I'm on my way (on my way)
I won't be back for many a day
My heart is down
My head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Down at the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
Ackev rice, salt fish are nice
Oh the rum is fine anytime of year
Now I'm sad to say
I'm on my way (on my way)
I won't be back for many a day
My heart is down
My head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
I took a trip on a sailing ship
But when I reached Jamaica I made her stop
Now I'm sad to say
I'm on my way (on my way)
I won't be back for many a day
My heart is down
My head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Carly Simon | Are You Ticklish | /c/carly+simon/are+you+ticklish_20027353.html | 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

Carly Simon | As Time Goes By | /c/carly+simon/as+time+goes+by_20027277.html | You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say I love you
On that you can rely
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
Moonlight and lovesongs never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
The fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Carly Simon | Back The Way (Girls' Point Of View) | /c/carly+simon/back+the+way+girls+point+of+view_20927538.html | Back the way it was before
Before the heart was broken
Playing hookey, making cookies
We were always jokin'
Back the way it used to be
Talks didn't end in a quarrel
Everything seemed so normal
Back the way it was before
But now the limo pulls up to the door
And she gets in
She calls bye, bye honey
Here is some money
I forgot the groceries
Back the way it was before
The chicken pox was easy
We told each other everything
And nobody was nosey
Back the way it used to be
When we were a happy family
Nobody ever asked us
If we wanted tiny little sandwiches
Sent up to our room

Carly Simon | Better Not Tell Her | /c/carly+simon/better+not+tell+her_20027298.html | Better not tell her, that I was your lover
Better not make her jealous of me
Better convince her there was nothing between us
I'm not those initials in your diary
But if you slip and my name comes up
Don't deny that you knew me
Just leave out the white nights
The moon in your window
The break in your whisper
The promises after
Better not tell her why you love Spanish dancing
Don't bother to say that it's hot in the summer in Madrid
Let it all go now, Like smoke from a candle
Like the trace of a song that you hear in the wind
But if you slip and my name comes up
Don't deny that you knew me
Just leave out the white nights
The moon in your window
The break in your whisper
The promises after
Leave out the tears and the laughter
She won't need to know
That I cried when you left
That I think of you still
But if you slip and my name comes up
Don't deny that you knew me
Just leave out the white nights
The moon in your window
The break in your whisper
The promises after
Leave out the tears and the laughter
She won't need to know
That I'd die for your love
That I still love you

Carly Simon | Blue Of Blue | /c/carly+simon/blue+of+blue_20027389.html | The blue of blue
Is mostly grey
Ain't no silver line
No brighter day
Last of the coming up
Didn't come my way
Looks like I'm down here to stay
Down to stay
So kick me, I won't feel a thing
My senses have all been run
And there's nothing left of the used to be
But the weeping that's just begun
That sour taste too late
But now I duck my head
And no cradle rocks this empty bed
If crying's not good for me
Then I guess I'm doing wrong
So I sing this crying song
Cry along
You packed it in too soon
You lose me but not your nerve
Well I guess I know it's what I deserve
Crazy to think that I could keep you on reserve
And so the curtain falls
Curtain falls

Carly Simon | Can't Give It Up | /c/carly+simon/cant+give+it+up_20027364.html | I've been saying that I'd
Leave well enough alone
Now I'm behaving
Like I'm begging you for a bone
When it feels good you can't help it
You just hang by the phone
And it felt that good last night
I can't give it up
You come on like a prince
You got everyone convinced
That you're a prince of a man
But I'm the one who knows you
I'm the one you show that you
Don't give a damn
Can't give it up, oh no, can't give it up
I've been dreaming you'd fall in love with me
No cold blooded scheming
If it could be that easy
But you still fight it
And I must like it
That I have to reach for what I want
And as long as it feels that good
I can't give it up
I don't want to want you
I don't want to want you
'Cause you can't give, can't give
No, I don't want you cause you
Can't give

Carly Simon | Damn, You Get To Me | /c/carly+simon/damn+you+get+to+me_20027309.html | 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

Carly Simon | Dan, My Fling | /c/carly+simon/dan+my+fling_20027259.html | I said that I felt jailed up
As if our doors were nailed up
I said I needed separate places,
Parties, room to move around in.
I said I needed my fling
Had to get out and do some other thing.
It took me months to calculate
That I had nothing left without you-
[Chorus]
Dan, my fling is all flung out
Now I've got to fall back on dreams
I thought I'd try and write you
I thought I'd try and phone you
I thought I'd try to tell you
That I smell your hair still on my pillow
But you'd just mile to please me
You'd shake your head, you'd tease me -
Remind me it was I who first claimed
That we both required freedom
[Chorus]
I'd dream up schemes to meet you,
I'd nonchalantly greet you,
I'd ask you up for coffee
Anytime you had an hour open.
You say you like my hair long,
You ask me if I've written any new songs,
You'd laugh, you'd turn and cross the street
And leave me dizzy with your laughter -
[Chorus]
I hear you're leaving this town,
You and some girl gonna travel around,
You bought a car with foldback seats,
you'll camp out by the lakes and forests.
I lie alone in our old bed,
Your laughter it's echoin' inside my head.
I close my eyes, I smell your hair
It's like I haven't slept in years -
[Chorus]

Carly Simon | Danny Boy | /c/carly+simon/danny+boy_20185690.html | Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come you back when summer's in the meadow
Or all the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
But when you come, when all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
Then if you bend and tell me that you love me
I'll sleep in peace until you come to me
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or all the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

Carly Simon | Davy | /c/carly+simon/davy_20027331.html | Davy, is there a song out there in the night
For us?
Davy, is there the kind of smile that you
Read about?
There are ghosts who would warn me
Keep me alone
Davy, are you the heat I feel in my
Foolish heart?
Davy, there's not a day that I haven't prayed
To feel something so worthy
For someone like you
Davy, could there be love so bright
Like to jump off the sea?
Davy, did I imagine it or did you look at me
With a look so bold that I had to look away?
But if it feels alright
If it feels alright and it feels alright
Davy, Davy, Davy!

Carly Simon | Easy On The Eyes | /c/carly+simon/easy+on+the+eyes_20027384.html | I'm the most dangerous person in this room
The way you look
I could do some damage to myself
It's your heart against mine
And I fear I may capsize
I'm operating without a license
But I'm willing to pay the price
'Cause you're just so easy
You're so damned easy on the eyes
You turn your face
The two sides don't synchronize
You're nothing like anyone I've ever seen before
If I'm staring at you then I apologize
You defy every rule I've learned
But still I've never been half so turned on
And you're just so easy
You're so damned easy on the eyes
Handsome's not a word that comes to mind
But I'd have to be blind to try and minimize
How easy you are on the eyes
Easy on the eyes
In my vertigo
You're easy on the eyes
From head to toe
You're so easy on the eyes
I'm operating without a license
But I'm willing to pay the price
And you're just so easy
You're just so damn easy on the eyes

Carly Simon | Fairweather Father | /c/carly+simon/fairweather+father_20027218.html | Fairweather father
Fairweather father
Doesn't like to hear the baby cry
Doesn't like to about the aches and pains
Of the day gone by
Of the day gone by
But the mother advertised as a bargain wife
She'd make things easy for the rest of his life
And to make herself more appealing
She'd think only of him and forget her own feelings
Fairweather father
Fairweather father
Wants his wife to be the truckdriver
Wants his wife to be the gardener
And still look like a Hollywood Starlet
And still look like a Hollywood Starlet
So the mother gets mad and she leaves town
That brings the father and the baby down
She wants the father to find her
Drinkin' orange pop in the seedy Greek diner
Fairweather father
Fairweather father
Gets her back and gets up in the night
Loves her so much and holds the baby tight
Ain't that enough to make you cry
Ain't that enough to make you cry
Fairweather father
Fairweather father
Doesn't like to hear the baby cry
Doesn't like to know about the aches and pains
Of the day gone by
Of the day gone by

Carly Simon | Fisherman's Song | /c/carly+simon/fishermans+song_20027301.html | In a pine forest cooler than the rest of the island
Lives a young fisherman with eyes like the sea
He built his own boat and made his own cabin
but he's broken the hearts of the likes like me
Now you must understand he made me a promise
there were secrets we shared we planted a tree
We lived in a cabin, I fished along side of him
I fell under the spell of his sorcery
When he cast me adrift at the end of the summer
It was not for another but his own privacy
I fell apart like a rose, but the scent of my longing
Remains and it weeps like an old willow tree
At night when it's still, with a yellow moon rising
When his candle is snuffed and he's deep in a dream
I move like a cat, and crawl into his window
And lie down beside him in a golden moonbeam
The smell of his skin is just like the summer
When our love was as fresh as the grass in the fields
And ever so softly I kiss his eyelids
Before slipping away, my secret concealed
Though I'm in it alone, I'm still in it, In love
And love can be lonely like a sweet melody
But just maybe he feels like a whisper inside him
Like an angel beside him, keeping him company

Carly Simon | Give Me All Night | /c/carly+simon/give+me+all+night_20027280.html | I have no need of half of anything
No half time, no half of a man's attention
Give me all the earth and sky
And at the same time add a new dimension
Half the truth is of no use
Give it all, give it all to me
I can stand it
I am strong that way
Give me all night
Give me the full moon
And if I can't take the whole of you
Give it to me anyway
Give me all night
'Till the last star fades
And if you can't take my heart and soul
Take it from me anyway
Don't give me fountains, I need waterfalls
And, when I cry my tears'll fill an ocean
The pain of love I'll accept it all
As long as you'll join me in that emotion
Half of lovin' is no fun
Give it all, give it all to me
I can stand it
I am strong that way
Don't leave me guessing alone
Don't walk me half the way home
You can do that tomorrow
Just give me give me all night.

Carly Simon | Grownup | /c/carly+simon/grownup_20027320.html | I stood in the doorway in my white nightgown
Red roses on cotton, I stood three feet from the ground
the grownups inside used words I didn't know
But still I enjoyed the show
They looked so lovely, they looked so self-assured
And I just like them would know it all when I matured
And I wouldn't be afraid of the darkness or the bears
Or the cracks in the ceiling upstairs
Now I've just gotten older, I've just gotten taller
And the little ones, they call me a grownup
Lat night at a friend's house a little girl was there
She stood in the doorway playing with her hair
She looked up to me as if I could do no wrong
As I got up to sing my song
I sang it with a shiver in my throat and in my knees
Feeling just as small as a thistle in a breeze
But the child's imagination carried me along
And saw me through my song
Now I've just gotten older, I've just gotten taller
And the little ones call me a grownup

Carly Simon | Half A Chance | /c/carly+simon/half+a+chance_20027219.html | You said we'd light the firmament
You said our love was permanent
You said we'd stick through thick and thin
Through up and down, through lose and win
But comes the first sign of stormy weather
You're packin' your bags in the trance
But you gotta give
Half a chance
Half a chance
Half a chance
To our romance
you can't pretend it's Camelot
Then start to run when things get hot
When love explodes there's always heat
There's always bitter with the sweet
There's always times when your legs feel broken
But you still don't drop out of the dance
You gotta give
Half a chance
Half a chance
Half a chance
To our romance

Carly Simon | He Was Too Good To Me | /c/carly+simon/he+was+too+good+to+me_20703533.html | There goes my young intended
The thing has ended
Regrets are vain
I'll never find another half so sweet
And we'll never meet again
I got impatient
Told him goodbye
Sad eyes out in the rain
He was too good to me
How can I get along now
So close he stood to me
Everything seems all wrong now
He would have brought me the sun
Making me smile, that was his fun
When I was mean to him
He'd never say go away now
I was a Queen to him
Who's gonna make me gay now
It's only natural that I'm blue
He was too good to be true

Carly Simon | Heaven | /c/carly+simon/heaven_20221629.html | I can almost touch the stars
Filling up the night
On their way around the world
They stop their flight
I can see the brightest star
Dazzling in the west
Three wise men follow
With no time for rest
And heaven can't be far
From where we lie
Heaven can't be far
From where we lie
Follow, follow
Pilgrims follow
To see the carpenters' child
Born the king of angels
He is meek and mild
Son of Joseph
Son of Mary
Son of love
He is born
Son of all believers
On this Christmas morn
And heaven can't be far
From where we lie
Heaven can't be far
From where we lie

Carly Simon | Hold Out Your Heart | /c/carly+simon/hold+out+your+heart_20743499.html | Oh my boy, what have you done?
Did you go out surfing on a frozen sea?
Did you scare the livin' daylights out of me?
Did you go too far to drive away the demons?
Did you go too far to know what love really means?
Did you imagine it was more cause she went away first
Or did you force her hand to renew your thirst?
[Chorus]
Well if you ever want an endless night
Or you need a moon and stars to shine
Just hold out your heart my darling
Hold out your heart my darling
Hold out your heart
And I will give you some of mine
Oh my girl, what have you done?
Is it something we can't even talk about?
Did you silence me, remove me from your faith?
Did you make me all but a stranger to your love?
Did you look right through me
Below me and above?
Did you try to ignore me, make me all but lost?
Did you cloud up the sky when you needed me most?
[Chorus]
It's gonna be fine
It's gonna be fine, just fine
Just hold out your heart my darling
Just hold out your heart my darling
Hold out your heart
And I will give you all of mine

Carly Simon | Hold What You've Got | /c/carly+simon/hold+what+youve+got_20027281.html | You had better hold on
Hold on to what you've got
You had better hold on
Hold on to what you've got
'Cause if you think
Nobody else wants it
Just throw it away
And you will see
Somebody else will have it
Before you can count 1-2-3
You take love for granted
And it's gone like a bandit
And this loneliness cuts like a knife
When you see what you've lost
It's already cost
The one you could love your whole life

And a tail with a spike
With claws on it's paws
That are sharp as a tack
And wing-a-ma-things
Coming out of it's back
Excuse me
What's a Heffalump?
Everyone knows
What a Heffalump's like

Carly Simon | How Can You Ever Forget | /c/carly+simon/how+can+you+ever+forget_20743501.html | I love you more than the first sunset
The first star I saw I would surely bet
So how could you ever, could you ever forget?
You're here but you're gone
It's in your eyes
Somethings gone wrong
You've stifled your cries
You can't expect that I'll ever forget
All the details of your mind you would tell me through the night
After we'd made love and the way was so open
Now you turn your back to me
As if we'd never spoken
But I still love you more than the first sunset
I swear I caught a shooting star the first time we met
So how could you ever
I know that I'll never
How could you ever, ever forget?

Carly Simon | How Long Has This Been Going On | /c/carly+simon/how+long+has+this+been+going+on_20703538.html | I could cry salty tears
Where have I been all these years?
Little wow, tell me now
How long has this been goin' on?
There were chills up my spine
And some thrills I can't define
Listen sweet, I repeat
How long has this been goin' on?
Oh, I feel that I could melt
Into heaven I'm hurled
I know how Columbus felt
Finding another world
Kiss me once, then once more
What a dunce I was before
What a break, for heaven's sake
How long has this been goin' on?

Carly Simon | I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day | /c/carly+simon/i+heard+the+bells+on+christmas+day_20766923.html | I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth
Peace on earth
I thought how as the day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of peace on earth
Peace on earth
Peace on earth, good will to men
And in despair I bowed my head
"There is no peace on earth," I said
"For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth
Peace on earth
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
"God is not dead, nor doth he sleep
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth
Peace on earth"

Carly Simon | Into White | /c/carly+simon/into+white_20717568.html | I built my house from barley rice
Green pepper walls and water ice
Tables of paper wood
Windows of light
And everything emptying into white
A simple garden, with acres of sky
A brown-haired dogmouse
If one should drop by
Yellow delanie would sleep well at night
And everything emptying into white
And everything emptying into white
A blue eyed drummer rehearses outside
A black spider dancing on top of his eye
Red legged chicken stands ready to strike
And everything emptying into white

Right over our head
We'll share the shelter of my single bed
We'll share the same room,

I've got ocean just about everywhere that I can see
And I'll be stranded unless you come to me
And I'm lonely
[Chorus]
I would rather fall from grace completely
Than let you change my mind
And I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun
Can't be too careful bout the friends you keep around you
Some who never let you down
Some who fail you every day
And it's a blatant disrespect of privacy
It amazes me
[Chorus]
I'm an island
Can't you understand me?
I'm an island?
And I'm finally by myself, the way I've got to be
And that's exactly the thing that's been killing me
[Chorus: x3]
The rising...

Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again
I believe in love
And who knows where or when
Bit it's comin' around again
[Chorus]
I know nothin' stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's comin' around again

Carly Simon | I've Got To Have You | /c/carly+simon/ive+got+to+have+you_20027227.html | 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 colors 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

I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin
I'd tried so not to give in
I said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well
That I've got you under my skin?
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night
And repeats and repeats in my ear
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time that I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, how it yells in my ear
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?
Why not use your mentality, wake up to reality?
But each time that I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop just before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin
'Cause I've got you under my skin
Yeah, I've got you under my skin
Sure enough I do, baby
Sure enough I do

The beauty of your voice
Lifts us from sadness
James,
Let us become like water together
Sing to me
Sit on the edge of my bed as when we
First spent nights together
Your body wrapped around your guitar
Let the music speak for your heart
Let them combine like water and sand
Let them meet the air like drops of rain
And bring us together, once again

Carly Simon | Jesse | /c/carly+simon/jesse_20027270.html | Oh mother, say a prayer for me
Jesse's back in town, it won't be easy
Don't let him near me
Don't let him touch me
Don't let him please me
(chorus)
Jesse, I won't cut fresh flowers for you
Jesse, I won't make the wine cold for you
Jesse, I won't change the sheets for you
I won't put on cologne
I won't sit by the phone for you
Annie, keep reminding me
That he cut out my heart like a paper doll
Sally, tell me once again
How he set me up just to see me fall
Chorus
Jesse, quick come here
I won't tell a soul
Not even myself
Jesse, that you've come back to me
My friends will all say "She's gone again'
But how can anyone know what you are to me
That I'm in heave again because you've come back to me - Oh Jessie!
Jesse, I'll always cut fresh flowers for you
Jesse, I'll always make the wine cold for you
Jesse, I can easily change my mind about you
And put on cologne
And sit by the phone for you
Jesse, let's open the wine
And drink to the heart
Which has a will of it's own
My friends, let's comfort them
They're feeling bad
They think I've sunk so low
Jesse, I'll always cut fresh flowers for you
Jesse, I'll always make the wine cold for you
Jesse, I will change the sheets for you
Put on cologne
And I will wait by the phone for you - Oh Jesse

Carly Simon | Julie Through The Glass | /c/carly+simon/julie+through+the+glass_20027228.html | Julie through the glass
Lookin' up at me
You've just got to be
The sweetest thing I've ever seen.
Julie through the glass
Just born a day ago
And who knows where you've been
And where you're gonna go.
We want you to love the world
To know it well and play a part
And we'll help you to learn to love yourself
'Cause that's where loving really starts.
Julie through the glass
I'm looking forward to
Doing things with you
For many years to come.

Carly Simon | Just A Sinner | /c/carly+simon/just+a+sinner_20027260.html | Today I was gonna conquer the world,
Go on ahead and make a stand.
Today I saw an old friend a dyin'
And as he lay there no one lent a hand,
I'm gonna call you up,
You'll forsake the one you love,
Though I've left you many times before
You are just a sinner.
I was the one who understands,
You were my one and only man.
I was lost, now I'm the winner.
You stand there waitin' by the shore,
But I don't come that way no more,
Because you are just a sinner.
Today I was gonna hold out my hand,
Reach up for that light and let it shine.
Today I have no light to guide me
Feelin' like the one they left behind,
So I called you up,
You left your love and took me away,
Though I've left you many times before
You are just a sinner.
I am the only one, you see,
You were the only one for me,
I was lost, now I'm the winner.
You'll keep the candle burning bright,
But I won't be home tonight,
Because you are just a sinner.
Today I was gonna conquer the world,
Go on ahead and make a stand.
Today I saw an old friend a dyin',
And as he lay there, no one lent a hand.

Carly Simon | Just Like You Do | /c/carly+simon/just+like+you+do_20027374.html | If you think you're alone
that you're the only one who is afraid
Let me tell you, I feel just like you do
And sometimes I stand back
From desires and dreams I don't understand
They overwhelm me
I feel just like you do
[Chorus]
I feel just like you do
I feel just like you do
Just like you do
Just like you do
I feel just like you do
Just like you do
I feel just like you do
And when it comes to love
You want me to be the one to say
The words: I love you
But I feel just like you do
But let's try to return
To that brave innocence we once knew
I wish you were an ocean
So I could jump into you
[Chorus]
|
Carly Simon | Just Not True | /c/carly+simon/just+not+true_20027322.html | You stick to me when I wish you gone
You hammer on my thoughts through dreams
Your plot is thick with saucy schemes
And ways to reach my balconies
But I say I'm not turned on by the way you look
I say I'm not turned on by the way you act
I'm not turned on when you tell me that you need me
But sometimes, just sometimes
You can see the softness in my eyes
And you know, It's just not true
You're in my blood, a Holy Ghost
I scream, but it's a hollow plea
The thoughts I swallow leave me thirsty
You do a very fine imitation of me
And I say I'm not turned on by the way you laugh
I'm not turned on by the way you smile
I'm not turned on when you tell me that you love me
But sometimes, just sometimes
You can see the softness in my eyes
And you know, it's just not true
And I say I'm not turned on by the way you dance
I'm not turned on my the way you laugh
I'm not turned on when you need me
But sometimes, just sometimes
You can see the softness in my eyes
And you know, it's just not true.

Carly Simon | Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow | /c/carly+simon/let+it+snow+let+it+snow+let+it+snow_20755761.html | Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let is snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And my dear we're still goodbye-ing
As long as you love me so
Let it snow, let snow, let it snow
Oh, it doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've brought some corn for popping
Oh the lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Oh, let it snow
All the way home I'll be warm
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And my dear I'm still goodbye-ing
As long you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow, let it snow, let is snow
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Carly Simon | Let The River Run | /c/carly+simon/let+the+river+run_20027400.html | We're coming to the edge,
running on the water,
coming through the fog,
your sons and daughters.
Let the river run,
let all the dreamers
wake the nation.
Come, the New Jerusalem.
Silver cities rise,
the morning lights
the streets that meet them,
and sirens call them on
with a song.
It's asking for the taking.
Trembling, shaking.
Oh, my heart is aching.
We're coming to the edge,
running on the water,
coming through the fog,
your sons and daughters.
We the great and small
stand on a star
and blaze a trail of desire
through the dark'ning dawn.
It's asking for the taking.
Come run with me now,
the sky is the color of blue
you've never even seen
in the eyes of your lover.
Oh, my heart is aching.
We're coming to the edge,
running on the water,
coming through the fog,
your sons and daughters.
[guitar]
It's asking for the taking.
Trembling, shaking.
Oh, my heart is aching.
We're coming to the edge,
running on the water,
coming through the fog,
your sons and daughters.
Let the river run,
let all the dreamers
wake the nation.
Come, the New Jerusalem.

Carly Simon | Letters Never Sent | /c/carly+simon/letters+never+sent_20027334.html | In a suitcase tied with string
On the highest shelf
In the closet down the hall
Hidden from myself
Fits of madness, pools of grief
Fevers of desire
How peculiar these remain
Salvaged from the fire
For some I crumpled some I burned
Some I tore to shreds
Lifetimes later, here they are
Ones I saved instead
Letters never sent to you
Letters never sent
Never reached their destination
Mostly born of pain
Resurfaced with the purpose of
A trip down memory lane
Broken hearted, breaking hearts
All the way it went
Evidence of what I saw
My experiments
Life's a riddle, life's a dream
Life's an accident
Now I'm gonna set them free
Letters never sent
Letters never sent to you
Letters never sent
Once upon a time taboo
Letters never sent
Letters never sent to you
Letters never sent
Incongruous, and overdue
Letters never sent

Carly Simon | Libby | /c/carly+simon/libby_20027223.html | If all our flights are grounded
Libby, we'll meet in Paris
Dance along the boulevards
And have no one to embarrass,
Puttin' on the Ritz in style
With an Arab and an Heiress,
Libby we'll fly away - hey
Leave behind our blues
Trade them all in
For a Paris breeze.
Libby we'll fly
See how dark the circles grow
In a town that has no light
So many eyes just staring out
Into the bloodshot night
And Libby, I hate you to cry, and I
Want to share it all with you,
And if it brings us to our knees
We'll trade it all in for a Paris breeze.
Libby we'll fly.
They say it don't come easy
They say that love is blind
And if you're afraid to be close
Then love is hard to find
And if you spend too much time winning love
There's no time to be kind
And Libby, I'm guilty of your crimes,
I'm just another passenger.
Travelling on these crazy high seas
Very likely be the same
In a Paris breeze,
Libby we'll fly
If all our flights are grounded,
Libby, we'll go to Paris
And wish we were back home again
Or sailing on the ocean
Just a window and a drink
To set our dreams in motion
But Libby, we'll fly anyway, hey
And leave behind our blues
Half sung melodies
Trade them all in for a Paris breeze,
Libby we'll fly.

Carly Simon | Life Is Eternal | /c/carly+simon/life+is+eternal_20027306.html | I've been doing a lot of thinking
About growing older and moving on
Nobody wants to be told that they're getting on
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

Carly Simon | Like A River | /c/carly+simon/like+a+river_20027335.html | Dear mother the struggle is over now
And your house is up for sale
We divided your railway watches
Between the four of us
I fought over the pearls
With the other girls
But it was all a metaphor
For what was wrong with us
As the room is emptying out
Your face so young comes into view
And on the back porch is a well-worn step
And a pool of light you can walk into
I'll wait no more for you like a daughter,
That part of our life together is over
But I will wait for you, forever
Like a river
Can you clear up the mystery of the Sphinx?
Do you know any more about God?
Are you dancing with Benjamin Franklin
On the face of the moon?
Have you reconciled with Dad?
Does the rain still make you sad?
Last night I swear I could feel you
Moving through my room
And I thought you touched my feet
I so wanted it to be true
In my theater there is a stage
And a footlight you can step into
I'll wait no more for you like a daughter,
That part of our life together is over
But I will wait for you, forever
Like a river
In the river I know I will find the key
And your voice will rise like the spray
In the moment of knowing
The tide will wash away my doubt
'Cause you're already home
Making it nice for when I come home
Like the way I find my bed turned down
Coming in from a late night out.
Please keep reminding me
Of what in my soul I know is true
Come in my boat, there's a seat beside me
And two or three stars we can gaze into
I'll wait no more for you like a daughter,
That part of our life together is over
But I will wait for you forever
Like a river
I'll never leave, always just a dream away
A star that's always watching
Never turn away
We'll never leave, always just a thought away
A candle always burning
Never turn away
The moon will hide, the tree will bend
I'm right beside you
I'll never turn away

Carly Simon | Make Me Feel Something | /c/carly+simon/make+me+feel+something_20027367.html | Make me feel something
I used to feel
I used to feel something for you
But I've been sleep walking
Stumbling in false starts, fumbling into false hearts
Tumbling into false hearts, mainly mine
Make me feel something
Feel something
Can it be I'm growing old
Feel something
Maybe I'm just too controlled
Feel something
I'm much too young to feel this old
make me walk on air
I used to dare
I used to take chances for you
But now I'm longing to feel passion
'Cause I've only been pretending
Acting out the drama
Dying for a happy end
Just to feel alive
I don't want to say "I love you"
To one more fantasy
You'd never believe
What a good actress I could be
Remember when
We were fresh in love
Your eyes were pale like the moon
We'd sit on the porch in Summer
Listen to the breezes
Spinning melodies
I dressed you up like a god
The one you were

Carly Simon | My Luv Is Like A Red, Red Rose | /c/carly+simon/my+luv+is+like+a+red+red+rose_20755764.html | My love is like a red, red rose
That's newly strung in June
My love is like a melody
That's sweetly played in tune
As far art thou, my bonnie lass
So deep in love am I
And I will love thee still, my dear
Til all the seas gang dry
Til all the seas gang dry
Till all the seas gang dry, my dear
And the rocks melt with the sun
I will love thee still, my dear
While the sands of life shall run
And fare thee well, my only love
And fare thee well a while
And I will come again, my love
Though it were ten thousand miles
Though it were ten thousand miles

Joyful and triumphant
O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem

Joyful and triumphant
O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him
Born the King of Angels

Carly Simon | One Man Woman | /c/carly+simon/one+man+woman_20027253.html | Well it's plain as rain
And it's there for all the world to see
Just 'cause everybody does it
That doesn't make it right for me
Someone is making plans
Involvin' my old man
Everytime I turn by back around
Feelin' like a one man woman
Living in a two time town
Now the place I come from
People don't grow on trees
And you can't treat people like meat
Without getting brought to your knees
Now and then
The way I've been feeling
Since I hit this town
Like to jump in the river and drown
Feeling like a one man woman
Living in a two time town
Sometimes I'd like
To get out on the floor
Shake it till dawn
Some young thing
Like to teach him the bump
Make me want to take him home
Well excuse me
I don't mean to preach no lectures
Yeah but me and my man won't
Be able to stay for breakfast
I guess he's got the itch
And I'm just a bitch
Who's trying to bring him down
Feeling like a one man woman
Acting like a one man woman
I guess I'm just a one man woman

Carly Simon | Orpheus | /c/carly+simon/orpheus_20027315.html | Orpheus, it could have been
You could have held me again
You said your songs had all gone
And that the road back up was too long
But it was there for us
It was there for us
I loved you all along
Orpheus
The part of me that died
Was ready to be reborn
And you called of the hounds
Of hell with your songs
Orpheus, Orpheus
I loved you all along, Orpheus
Orpheus, It could have been
You could have held me again
But you couldn't wait
Somewhere along the road
You lost your faith
Out of despair and believing
I was gone
You gave up on my love
You gave up on us
But it was there for us,
It was there for us
I loved you all along
Orpheus

Carly Simon | Our First Day Together | /c/carly+simon/our+first+day+together_20027230.html | Our first day together
Was after we'd been close in dreams
Was after we'd shared hell and heaven
And all the places in-between
And all the places in-between
After we'd spent nights together
And breathed secrets without words
After we'd made promises
That could but might not have been heard
Might not have been heard
Knowing me the way you do
Then why did you just say
That our first day together
Was today?
