1.Those Good Old Dreams

Written:Richard Carpenter/John Bettis

As a child I was known for makes-believing
All alone I created fantasies
As I grew people called it self deceiving
But my heart helped me hold the memories

As I walk through the world I find around me
Something new yet familiar's in the air
I feel it everywhere

Like a child's eyes on a Christmas night
I'm looking at you now finding answers to my prayers

It's a new day for those good old dreams
One by one it seems they're coming true
Here's the morning that my heart had seen
Here's the morning that just had to come through


2.Strength Of A Woman

You've been so quiet lately
Sometimes I wonder has the cat got your tongue
You seem to be a thousand miles away
Don't look me in the eyes and say it's OK
Don't Lie

I got this funny feelin' baby
That it's going to be that time again
When you have the need for someone else
I know you better than you know yourself

Chorus
Sometimes it takes the strength of a woman
To understand the weakness of her man
It's gonna the strength of this woman
To keep fightn' for the lovin' of her man

And darlin' when you been satisfied
And it isn't know you no more
Think of me, I'll be here alone
Waitin' for you to find your way back home

(repeat chorus)

Oh I know how hard you tried
To hide this all from me
But if you keep a silent heart
I can't give you what you need
So hold me close, and hold me tight
Let's say goodnight, and never say good-bye.

(Repeat chorus)


3.Want You ... Back In My Life Again

Written:Kerry Chater/Chris Christian

You know it doesn't seem that long ago
That I had your love and let it go
And I really let you down I know
I'm losin' your love

I guess it took a while for me to see
What it is you really mean to me
I've been as big a fool as I can be
For losing your love

Chorus
I want you back in my life again
I don't want to be your remember when
I want you back in my life again
Let's go back to the place where it all began
I've lived long enough with your memory
Now I know that I need you here with me.

There was a time I thought I had it made
But I didn't see the price I had paid
And the price gets higher ev'ry day
And all I can say is

You're the only one who knows my heart
So let's take it right back to the start
And I won't have to play the part
Of losing your love.

(repeat chorus)

You're the only one who knows my heart
So let's take it right back to the start
And I won't have to play the part
Of losing your love.

I want you back in my life again
I don't want to be your remember when
I want you back in my life again
Let's go back to the place where it all began
I've lived long enough with your memory
Now I know that I want you, know that I need you
Back in my life


4.When You've Got What It Takes

Lyrics:Roger Nichols/Bill Lane
Music:Roger Nichols/Bill Lane

You've got nothing to hide
You've got miles of feeling
And acres of pride
You've got it
You've really got it.

When you know who you are
Then you live what you feel
You live what you can
And it's good when you've really got it
And when you've got it

(chorus)
Let it out
Let it show
Let 'em know
Inside you've got it
Let it shine like a fine tomorrow
For when you do
The felling comes back to you
What a difference it makes
When you'vegot what it takes
What a difference it makes
When you've got it.

When you've sure of your heart
Then you give it away
And love is a promise
You keep every day
You know it
And when you know it.

You begin to believe
You'll do more than survive
That the best part of being is being alive
You feel it
And when you feel it

Let it out
Let it show
Let 'em know
Inside you've got it
Let it shine like a fine tomorrow
For when you do
The felling comes back to you
What a difference it makes
When you've got what it takes
What a difference it makes
When you've got it.

What a difference it makes
When you've got what it takes
What a difference it makes
When you've got it.

What a difference it makes
When you've got what it takes
What a difference it makes
When you've got it.
When you've got it everyday


5.Somebody's Been Lyin'

Written:Carole Bayer Sager/Burt Bacharach

Somebody's been callin' me tellin' me he still loves me
But not the way I thought it would be
He's makin' fun of me and laughin' at my dreams
And I know that he keeps . . .

Sayin' not to worry
He's tellin' me to just hold on
But he's not here to lean on
And words won't warm my bed now he's gone
It isn't easy letting go of what we had
And I guess I'm just scared
And I still believe him though
I'd be wiser to go on my own way

Somebody's been lyin'
And I know you're tellin' me only the things you want to
I guess I lie as much as you do
It seems so funny letting go of yesterday
Guess we're much too afraid and we're much too alone
Were we just too much in love.


6.I Believe You

Lyrics:Dick/Don Addrisi
Music:Dick/Don Addrisi

I believe you
When you say that you will reach into the sky
And steal a star so you can put it on my finger
I believe you
Baby, I believe you

I believe you
When you say that every time we make love
Will be the first time we've made love
And very act of love will please you
Baby, I believe you

(Bridge)
Blind faith makes me follow you
I'd live in a cave if you wanted to
Just asked me and I'll marry you.
'Cause you overwhelm me
I've made up my mind for a lifetime.

I believe you
When you swear your love will keep on growin' strong
And that forever isn't long enough to love me like you need to
Baby, I believe you
Baby, I believe you
Honey, I love you.

(Repeat Bridge)

When you say you'll fill my body with your soul
And love will grow into a freckled little girl
Who looks like we do
Baby, I believe you
Baby, I believe you
Honey, I love you.


7.Touch Me When We're Dancing

Written:Terry Skinner/J.L.Wallace/Ken Bell

Play us a song we can slow dance on
We want to hold each other
Play us a groove so we hardly move
Just let our hearts beat together
Oh, baby, 'cause it feel so good
When we're close like this
Whisper in my ear and let me steal a kiss

Come on and touch me
When we're dancing
You know you've got that loving touch(loving touch)
Touch me when we're dancing
I want to feel you when I'm falling in love.

Tonight's the night and it feels so right
My heart is saying it to me
You're the one I've waited for so long
So let your love flow through me
Oh, baby 'cause it feels so good
Just to be this close
You've got me up so high
I could fly cost to coast
(Repeat Chorus)


8.When It's Gone (It's Just Gone)

Where's the word for the sadness
Where's the poetry in the pain
Where's the color in the stain where the tears fallen
It's gone, it's just gone.

Where's the method to this madness
As we create the suffering
And we do each other in and we still hold on
But it's gone, it's just gone

(Bridge)
He says it's gone
And he can't go on living a memory
Mulling it over endlessly
Whey is that so hear for me to see
He says it's gone
And he can't go on trying to live a lie
And when he cries, I know it's over
But I may never know why.

There's no face in the locket
There's no play for the past
I'll put it back in my pocket
It was never meant to last
It's just gone.

(repeat bridge)

There's no word for the sadness
There's no poetry in the pain
There's no color in the stain where the tears have fallen
It's gone, it's just gone
It's gone, it's just gone
Well, it's gone.

10.Because We Are In Love (The Wedding Song)

Written:Richard Carpenter/John Bettis

Children
It was more fun to be children
We just took life as it happened
Run thru the days
Don't look behind
Over wink of an eye and it's over
What a surprise to discover
We were people ourselves
What kind of people did we want to be
No answer ever come to me.

I didn't sleep at all last night
Mom, I've come to you like yesterday
About today
Hon, come and sit by my side
Listen to me
Words come so hard
But what my hear says
I will give you.

Because you are in love
Your eyes begin to open
As is you had awoken from a sleep
Because you are in love
You use imagination
And lose you concentration
When someone drops his name
You're back in his arms as always
Your day - dreams work out that way
It's all just a trick you mind plays
The more love grows
The more it stays the same

(Same little girl who's frightened)
But I love him so
(Same little girl who's sure)
That she loves him so
(Sees with a woman's vision knows what a woman knows)

Because we are in love
We've reach for our tomorrow's
And know we won't be lonely
In laugher and in sorrows
Where love abides
There is the place we'll keep our home forever
You and I
Because we are in love.
Where love abides
There is the place we'll keep our home forever
You and I
Because we are in love.
