"Rainy Days and Mondays"

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

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

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

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.
 
"Saturday"

Saturday,
began much the same as other days,
but ended up different in may ways,
Love is my world since Saturday.

Mornin’ came,
but somehow it didn’t seem the same.
The sadness of Friday had somehow changed
to the happy sounds of Saturday,

Saturday, ever lovin’ Saturday.

I whistle to blue birds,
I try to tell them how you brought me sunshine.
My head’s full of new words,
that sing to the sounds of the day after Friday.

Come and see
the flowers of love she gave to me;
the touches of laughter and harmony
to the happy sounds of Saturday,

Saturday, ever lovin’ Saturday.

I whistle to blue birds,
I try to tell them how you brought me sunshine.
My head’s full of new words,
that sing to the sounds of the day after Friday.
day after Friday.

Come and see
the flowers of love she gave to me;
the touches of laughter and harmony
to the happy sounds of Saturday,
Saturday, ever lovin’ Saturday.
 
"Let Me Be The One"

Some sleepless night,
if you should find yourself alone,
Let me be the one you run to,
Let me be the one you come to
when you need someone to turn to,
Let me be the one.

To set things right
when this old world’s turned upside down,
Let me be the one you run to,
Let me be the one you come to
when you need someone to turn to,
Let me be the one.

For love and understanding,
to find a quiet place;
For silent understanding,
a loving touch.
Come to me when things go wrong
and there’s no love to light the way.

Let me be the one you run to,
Let me be the one you come to
when you need someone to turn to,
Let me be the one.
 
"Superstars"

Long ago, and, oh, so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show.
Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear, but you're not really here.
It's just the radio.

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

Loneliness is such a sad affair, and I can hardly wait to be with you again.
What to say, to make you come again?
Come back to me again, and play your sad guitar.
 
"For All We Know"

Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
We've got a lifetime to share
So much to say
And as we go
From day to day
I'll feel you close to me
But time alone will tell
Let's take a lifetime to say
"I knew you well"
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow
For all we know.

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


I’ve got to find a place to hideaway
far from the shadows of my mind.
Sunlight and laughter,
love everafter,
oh how I love to find
A place to hideaway.

I hear you whisper and I must obey,
blindly follow where you lead.
Knowing tomorrow
brings only sorrow,
Where can I go to find
A place to hideaway?

Bright-colored pinwheels go round in my head.
I run through the mist of the wine.
But night and the music remind me instead
The world once was mine.

I’ll save my pennies for a rainy day.
But where can I buy another you?
Dreams are for sleeping;
love is for weeping
Oh how I long to find
A place to hideaway?
 
"Druscilla Penny"

Druscilla Penny what a name.
Are you sure you didn't make it up yourself.
You're very pretty, yes you are, but with all the junk you wear it's hard to tell.

Man you must work hard to get your hair to look like that.
I don't need a horoscope to tell me where you're at.
Your fam'ly's prob'ly given up on you
since you began to follow groups of long - haired rock and rollers.
I can hear your mother crying for her daughter
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah

Druscilla Penny what a girl.
Where's the purpose to the crazy life you lead.
It doesn't matter after all you're so sure that instant love is all you tell.

Instrumental

I've seen your face at least a thousand times,
you're always standing there behind the stages at the concerts.
Waiting for an offer to be with someone after.
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah

Druscilla Penny how's your head.
Do you ever wake up lonely in the night.
It isn't easy, for a girl when she can't decide if love is wrong or right.
I hope I live to see a change.
Could you ever really love, ever really care?
Ever really get it together?
No!
 
" One Love "


One love in my young life
took me somewhere I had never been,
And I want to live again, breath again
in the shelter of his brightly woven love song.
So long I have wanted love
to be sitting just this near to me.
Now my waiting here is free.

Few are the choices we are given,
the sand of time pass quickly by.

One dream of my young life
now stands holding out his hand to me,
Now I can't help but believe
that my whole life will be spent in one love
 
"Knowing When To Leave"

Go while the going is good
Knowing when to leave may be the smartest thing anyone can learn.
Go!

I'm afraid my heart isn't very smart.
Fly while your still have your wings
Knowing when to leave will never let you reach the point of no return.
Fly!

Foolish as it seems, I still have my dreams
So I keep hoping, day after day, as I wait for the man,
And night after night as I wish for a love that can be
Though I'm sure that no one can tell when a wish is a hope,
Somehow I feel there is happiness waiting for me.

When someone walks in your life, you'd just better be sure he's right.
`Cause if he's wrong there's are heartaches and tears you must face.
Keep both of your eyes on the door and never let it get out of sight
Just be prepared when the time comes and you went away

Sail when the wind starts to blow
But like a fool I don't know when to leave.
 
"Sometimes"

Sometimes, not often enough
We reflect upon the good things
And those thoughts always center
Around those we love

And I think about those people
Who mean so much to me
And for so many years have made me
So very happy

And I count the times I have forgotten to say
Thank you, and just how much I love them
 
"I Need To Be In Love"

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

I used to say "No promises, let's keep it simple"
But freedom only helps you say goodbye
It took a while for me to learn that nothing comes for free
The price I paid is high enough for me

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

+ So here I am with pockets full of good intentions
But none of them will comfort me tonight
I'm wide awake at 4 a.m. without a friend in sight
I'm hanging on a hope but I'm all right
 
" Solitaire "

There was a man, a lonely man,
who lost his love through his indifference.
A heart that kept, that went unchecked,
until it died within his silence.

And Solitaire's the only game in town,
and every road that takes him down.
And by himself, it's easy to pretend,
he'll never love again.
And keeping to himself he plays the game,
without her love it always ends the same.
While life goes on around him everywhere,
he's playing Solitaire.

A little hope goes up in smoke,
just how it goes, goes without saying.
There was a man, a lonely man,
who would command the hand he's playing.
(chorus)

And Solitaire's the only game in town,
and every road that takes him down.
While life goes on around him everywhere,
he's playing Solitaire.
 
" Carpenters "

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

Before the rising sun we fly,
So many roads to choose
We start our walking and learn to run.
And yes, We've just begun.

Sharing horizons that are new to us,
Watching the signs along the way,
Talking it over just the two of us,
Working together day to day
Together.

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

Are we really happy with this lonely game we play,
Looking for the right words to say?
Searching but not finding -- understanding anyway,
We're lost in this masquerade.

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

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

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

We're lost in a masquerade.
And we're lost in a masquerade.
 
" You Are The One "

Every night, every day,
you're the one I always dream of.
Every line of your face is sketched so plain inside my heart.
You've grown so deep inside of me.
You're everything I feel and see,
and you're the one, you're the one I love.

All my life, all my love,
I can feel when you're beside me.
all that's right, all that's wrong
suddenly becomes so clear.
My heart has overtaken me
with feelings you awake in me,
and you're the one,
you're the one I love.

Only you could move me enough to believe
in love one more time.
All I need to know for tomorrow
is that you're mine,
mine for a lifetime.
If our friends all around
find it hard to understand us,
you and I understand
the other one so very well.
And that's what I've been looking for,
so I keep coming back for more,
'cause you're the one,
you're the one I love.
You're the one,
you're the one I love.
 
" Top Of The World "

Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream

Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen

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

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

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

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

Dreamin', I must be dreamin'
or am I really lyin' here with you?
Baby, you take me in your arms,
and though I'm wide awake
I know my dream is comin' true.

And, oh, I just fall in love again;
just one thought and then it happens every time.
And there I go, I just fall in love again,
and when I do can't help myself
I fall in love with you.

Magic, it must be magic,
the way I hold you and the night just seems to fly.
Easy for you to take me to a star.
Heaven is that moment when I look into your eyes. (chorus)

Can't help myself I fall in love with you.
 
" (They Long To Be) Close To You "

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

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

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

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

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

Wahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Wahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Hahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Lahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
 
" For All We Know "

Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
We've got a lifetime to share
So much to say
And as we go
From day to day
I'll feel you close to me
But time alone will tell
Let's take a lifetime to say
"I knew you well"
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow
For all we know.

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

After long enough of being alone,
Ev'ryone must face their share of loneliness.
In my own time nobody knew
the pain I was goin' thru,
And watin' was all my heart could do.

Hope was all I had until you came,
Maybe you can't see how much you mean to me.
You were the dawn breaking the night
The promise of morning light.
Filling the world surrounding me

Baby, baby,
your love's made me
free as a song,
singin' for ever.

(chorus)
Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely,
You showed me the way to leave the past
and all it's tears behind me.
Tomorrow maybe even brighter than today
since I threw my sadness away.
Only yesterday

(musical interlude)
