1.A Song For You
Lyrics：Leon Russell
Music：Leon Russell
I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darlin' can't you please see through me
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
2.Top Of The World
Written：Richard Carpenter／John Bettis
Arranger：Richard Carpenter
Such a feeling's coming 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 looking 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 telling me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasing 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
Repeat(＊)twice
3.All You Get From Love Is A Love Song
Lyrics：Steve Eaton
Music：Steve Eaton
Like sailin' on a sailin' ship to nowhere,
Love took over my heart like an ocean breeze.
As season fly I knew that I was losing
Love was washed away with the driftin tide.
Oh it's a dirty old shame that all you get from love is a love
song
It's gotcha layin up nights waiting for the music to start.
It's such a dirty old shame when you got to take the blame for a
love song.
Because the best love song is writing with a broken heart.
Now the tears in my eyes are ever blindin'
The future that lies before me I cannot see
Although tomorrow I know the sun is rising
Lightin' up the world for everyone, but not for me.
4.Sing
Lyrics：Joe Raposo
Music：Joe Raposo
Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things not bad
Sing of happy not sad
(＊)Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not
Good enough for anyone
Else to hear
Just sing, sing a song
La la la la la
La la la la la la...
Sing, sing a song
Let the world sing along
Sing of love there could be
Sing for you and for me
Repeat(＊)
5.Baby It's You
Written：Mack David／Burt Bacharach／Barney Williams
It's not the way you smile that touches my heart.
It's not the way you kiss that tears me apart.
Many, many nights roll by.
I sit alone at home and cry over you.
What can I do？
Can't help myself,
「Cause, baby it's you.
You should hear what they say about you. (cheatin')
They say you've never, never been true. (wow ooooo)
It doesn't matter what they say.
I'm gonna love you any old way,
What can I do when it's true.
Don't want nobody,
「Cause, baby it's you.
6.Sweet, Sweet Smile
Lyrics：Juice Newton／Othat Young
Music：Juice Newton／Othat Young
You're always in my heart
From early in the mornin' til it's dark
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile every day
When I wake up in the mornin'
And I see you there
I always whisper a little prayer
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile every day
＊＊ I gotta know that you love me
And that you want me
And that you'll always be there
I've gotta know that you care
## And I gotta feel your arms around me
And that you need me
And that you'll always be there
I've gotta know that you care
If my times bring me down
You're the only one that I want around
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile every day
And if I'll all strung out
You're the only one who can straighten me out
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile every day
Repeat ＊＊
Repeat ##
Repeat ＊＊
Repeat ##
You're always in my heart
From early in the mornin' til it's dark
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile every day
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile every day
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile every day
7.There's A Kind Of Hush
Lyrics：Les Reed／Geoff Stephens
Music：Les Reed／Geoff Stephens
There's a kind of hush
all over the world tonight
All over the world
you can hear the sounds of lovers in love
You know what I mean
Just the two of us
and nobody else in sight
There's nobody else and I'm feeling good
Just holding you tight
So listen very carefully
Closer now and you will see what I mean
It isn't a dream
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear I love you
For ever and ever
8.I Need To Be In Love
Written：R.Carpenter／John Bettis／Albert Hammond
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
repeat ＊
repeat +
repeat ＊
9.Happy
Written：Tony Peluso／Diane Rubin／John Bettis
I've played the game of love before,
Too young to know how hard the fall could be.
I never thought I'd try again,
Somehow you brought the gambler out in me
You can deal me in this time,
even tho the odds are high,
we'll play them down.
You may be a chance I need to take,
and the hand I'm holdin' says it's no mistake.
(Chorus)
HAPPY is the way I'm feelin',
and I know it comes from being with you.
All at once my life is changin',
and I know it's 'cause I'm fallin' in love with you.
Fallin' in love with you,
Fallin' in love,
Fallin' in love with you.
If this is luck then let it ride,
If this the stars they're surly on my side.(surly on my side)
I've never been so satisfied by love before,
for all the times I've tried.
These beginnings could me more
then the brief affair I bargained for.
Little did I know when we began,
that my time had come to win a hand.
(Chorus)
HAPPY is the way I'm feelin',
and I know it comes from being with you.
All at once my life is changin',
and I know it's 'cause I'm fallin' in love with you.
Fallin' in love with you,
Fallin' in love,
Fallin' in love with you.
Please forgive me,
if I seem to be walkin' thru a wakin' dream.
Laughter never came so easily,
there's a freedom here that's new to me.
(Chorus)
HAPPY is the way I'm feelin',
and I know it comes from being with you.
All at once my life is changin',
and I know it's 'cause I'm fallin' in love with you.
Fallin' in love with you,
Fallin' in love,
Fallin' in love with you.
10.We've Only Just Begun
Written：Paul Williams／Roger Nichols
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.

Mister Postman
( Wait )
Wait Mister Postman
(＊)Please Mister Postman look and see
( Oh yeah )

為什麼讓我等這麼久
只為了等我男友的音訊
今天應該有隻字片語
來自我那遠方的男友
等一下，郵差先生，請查查看
是不是有信件是寄給我的？
我一直站在這兒耐心的等待郵差先生
只為了一張明信片或一封信
告訴我他將回到家裡
你從我面前經過這麼多天了
看見我眼裡的淚水
卻不曾停下來安慰我
給我一封明信片或信件
為何你不再為我查看一遍？
你一定得等一下
請等一下，等一下
郵差先生，請查查看
快給我一封信，越快越好

12.I Just Fall In Love Again
Written：S.Dorff／L.Herbstritt／G.Sklerov／H.Lloyd
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 touch 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.
13.They Long To Be Close To You
Lyrics：Burt Bacharach／Hal David
Music：Burt Bacharach／Hal David
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.
靠近你
鳥兒們為何突然出現？
每一次你靠近時
就像我一樣
牠們早就想接近你
星星為何從天上墜落？
每一次當你走來
就像我一樣
它們早就想接近你
在你誕生的那一天
天使們聚在一起
決定創造出一個成真的美夢
於是，祂們在你的金髮灑上月塵
在你的藍眼珠裡灑上星光
這就是為何城裡所有的女孩
到處都跟隨著你
就像我一樣
她們早就想接近你
14.This Masquerade
Lyrics：Leon Russell
Music：Leon Russell
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.
15.Rainy Days And Mondays
Written：Paul Williams／Roger Nichols
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.
16.Only Yesterday
Written：Richard Carpenter／John Bettis
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)
17.Solitaire
Lyrics：Neil Sedaka／Phil Cody
Music：Neil Sedaka／Phil Cody
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.
18.Yesterday Once More
Written：Richard Carpenter／John Bettis
When I was young
I'd listen to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile.
Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone
But they're back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well.
Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing's
So fine.
When they get to the part
Where he's breakin' her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more.
Lookin' back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed.
It was songs of love that
I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away.
Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing's
So fine.
All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry.
Just like before
It's yesterday once more.
往日重現
當我年輕的時候
聽著收音機
等待著我最喜愛的歌
當它播放時我獨自跟唱
讓我心情愉快起來
就像那些快樂時光
驚訝消失的無影無蹤
但當它們回來時
就像是久沒聯絡的朋友一樣
這都是我喜歡的歌
每個Sha-la-la-la
每個Wo-o-wo-o
記憶依鮮明
每個shing-a-ling-a-ling
節奏依然美好
當故事到了那個段落
他傷了她的心
讓我流下淚來
就像從前
往日重現
19.Flat Baroque
Music：Richard Carpenter
Instrumental
20.Piano Picker
Lyrics：Randy Edelman
Music：Randy Edelman
Everybody always asks me
How I got to play so fine
And friends, I'm gonna tell ya
It really did take some time
Yes, after years and years of practice
And a case of real bad knees
Whil the other guys were out playin' with the football
I was home bangin' on the keys
And it got me
Right were I am, this is me
Playing the piano
I hope ya like what I do
It's for you, and I'll try and sing right too
I guess I'm really very lucky
That I've got this thing to play
'Cause it can really make me feel good
Even when it's cloudy and grey
Yes, after years and years of practice
And awful allergies that made me sneeze
And now the other guys are out playin' with their girlfriends
And I was still bangin' on the keys
And it got me
Right where I am, this is me
Playing the piano
I hope ya like what I do
It's for you
And I'll try and sing right too
21.I Won't Last A Day Without You
Written：Paul Williams／Roger Nichols
Day after day I must face a world of strangers
Where I don't belong, I'm not that strong
It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to
Who will always care, you're always there
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
So many times when the city seems to be without a friendly face
A lonely place
It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you
And you'll always smile, it's all worthwhile
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
Touch me and I end up singing
Troubles seem to up and disappear
You touch me with the love you're bringing
I can't really lose when you're near
If all my friends have forgotten half their promises
They're not unkind, just hard to find
One look at you and I know that I could learn to live
Without the rest, I found the best
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
22.Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft
Lyrics：Klaatu
Music：Klaatu
In your mind you have capacities you know
To telepath messages through the vast unknown
Please close your eyes and concentrate
With every thought you think
Upon the recitation we're about to sing
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft
You've been observing our earth
And we'd like to make a contact with you
We are your friends
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary ultra emissaries
We've been observing your earth
And one night we'll make a contact with you
We are your friends
Calling occupants of interplanetary quite extraordinary craft
And please come in pace we beseech you
(Only of love we will teach you)
Our earth may never survive (So don't come we beg you)
Please interstellar policemen
Won't you give us a sign give us a sign that we've reached you
With your mind you have ability to form
And transmit thought energy far beyond the norm
You close your eyes, you concentrate, together that's the way
To send a message we declare World Contact Day
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft
Calling occupants
Calling occupants
Calling occupants of interplanetary, anti-adversary craft
We are your friends
