Carpenters( 木匠兄妹 ) The Essential Collection:1965-1997歌詞
1.Caravan

Lyrics:Irving Mills
Music:Duke Ellington/Juan Tizol

Night and stars above that shine so bright
The myst'ry of their fading light
That shines upon our caravan

Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep
Across the sand so I may keep
The mem'ry of our caravan

This is so exciting
You are so inviting
Resting in my arms
As I thrill to the magic charms

Of you beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert caravan!


2.The Parting Of Our Ways

Where has it gone?

The love we shared?

The love I live for is no longer there

If God only planned it to last all our days

There never would have been a parting of our ways

Love was so bright, then you went away

My days were sunny; now they are gray

If God only planned it to last all our days

There never would have been a parting of our ways

I hope and pray that he'll return to me

Forever since he's been gone, I've been in misery

I hope someday he'll come up to my door,

Saying he's sorry he'll leave no more

My love is gone now; it didn't last

Who was my future now is my past

If God only planned it to last all our days

There never would have been,

Never would have been now,

Never would have been a parting of our ways


3.Looking For Love

I spent a lifetime lookin' for you
Single bars and good time lovers were never true
Playing a fools game, hopin' to win
Tellin' those sweet lies and losin' again.

Chorus

I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places
Lookin' for love in too many places
Searchin' her eyes, lookin' for traces
Of what I'm dreamin' of
Hoping to find a friend and a lover
I'll bless the day I discover,
You - lookin' for love.

I was alone then, no love in site
I did every thing I could to get me through the night
Don''t know where it started or where it might end
I'd turn to a stranger just like a friend.


4.I'll Be Yours

When I first saw you my heart said, 'Yes'
You'd be the one to cure my loneliness
And so every night I pray,
Pray that some day you will say
Pray that you'll say you love me and then I'll be yours

I see you everyday you say 'Hello'
But I can't say a word
I love you so
And so every night I pray,
Pray that some day you will say
Pray that you'll say you love me and then I'll be yours

I love you so, but you will never know
You think I'm just a friend, that all I'll ever be, I know

I just a dreamer, it's nothing new
But still I hope someday they'll all come true
And so every night I pray,
Pray that some day you will say
Pray that you'll say you love me and then I'll be yours
Say you'll love me and then I'll be yours


5.Iced Tea


6.You'll Love Me

They say we're to young to ever know a love

But your everything that I've been dreaming of

And I know you'll stay and I know you'll love me

They say before long you'll walk right out my door

But I know their wrong; you're mine forevermore

And I know you'll stay and I know you'll love me

When something's right you can feel it in your heart

Our love is right, and I know we'll never part

Many years will come and many years will go

And will show them all just how our love did grow

And I know you'll stay and I know you'll love me

Oh yes I know you'll stay and I know you'll love me


7.All I Can Do(Demo)

Lyrics:John Bettis
Music:Richard Carpenter

Yesterday I though you'd stay
I though you'd see things my way,
But now I see my hopes rainy day.

I should have known when you said I was the one you wanted,
wanting meant nothing more than today,

All I can do is cry over you
and hope you return someday,
All I can do is cry over you
since you've gone away.

Ev'ry road that I follow leaves me with no tomorrow,
I need someone to show me the way,

All I can do is cry over you
and hope you return someday,
All I can do is cry over you
since you've gone away.


8.Don't Be Afraid

Lyrics:Richard Carpenter
Music:Richard Carpenter

Don't be afraid to love and get love returned,
Don't be afraid to tell ev'ryone you loved
That love is a groovy thing,
it knows how to make you sing.
and it fills up your life with sunshine and joy.

Don't be afraid to give all you've got to give.
One of these days you'll find that's the way to live,
And living is what we all were put on this earth to do,
So come on and live and be happy
Don't be afraid to love.


9.Invocation

Written:Richard Carpenter/John Bettis

For those whose eyes would see
Render them in faith to me.
For all those seeking peace
In my arms their strife shall cease
And place in me the agony you bear
Nothing can impair the perfect love I bring
In a simple offering.


10.Your Wonderful Parade

Lyrics:John Bettis
Music:Richard Carpenter

Your Wonderful Parade,
moving thru the towns that rise and then they fade,
Over streets that pass the houses where you've stayed,
Your Wonderful Parade.

Your daily masquerade,
paper masks that hide the faces you have made,
Crumbled down upon foundations you have laid,
Your daily masquerade.

Stand in line try to climb
meet your wife at cocktail time
you're sure to lose
so try and choose
a better way to fall.

Your marvelous charade,
Never could be worth
the prices that you've paid
Blindness is a part of
ev'ry game you've played,
Your Marvelous Parade.


11.All Of My Life

Lyrics:Richard Carpenter
Music:Richard Carpenter

All of my life I have been waiting
for just one boy,
And all of my life I have been waiting
for all the joy
of having someone that I can call my own.
Who'll come to my side when I am all alone,

And now you are here and I've found
a whole new world has opened for me.
A world filled with love,
a world filled with all your love eternally,

For you say you're mine,
you'll love me all the time,
night and day,
come what may
And all of my life you will be my own.

(INSTRUMENTAL)

I just want someone that I can call my own,
To have at my side when I am all alone.

And now you are here and I've found
a whole new world has opened for me.
A world filled with love,
a world filled with all you love eternally,

For you say you're mine,
you'll love me all the time,
night and day,
come what may
And all of my life you will be my own.


12.Eve

Lyrics:John Bettis
Music:Richard Carpenter

Eve I can't believe that you could mean what you just said,
Think of what you are, how very far you are from being real,
Look into the mirror--nothing there to see,
Eve I can't believe you'd really leave him.

Notice how her image saddens, how lonely she's become,
Just once I'd like to see her happy, before the winter comes.

Eve I wouldn't lie, the open sky is not your home,
Wide as it may be, reality is here among the stones,
Thorns among the roses add to what is real,
Eve you are a rose among the thorns here.

Notice how her image saddens, how lonely she's become,
Just once I'd like to see her happy, before the winter comes.

I wish her only good times, before the winter comes.


13.Ticket To Ride

Lyrics:John Lennon
Music:John Lennon

I think I'm gonna be sad
I think it's today Yeah
The boy that's driving me mad is going away.

He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
and he don't care.

He said that living with me
was bringing him down Yeah
He would never be free
when I was around.

He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
and he don't care.

Don't know why he's riding so high
He oughta do right
He oughta do right by me
Before he gets to saying goodbye
He oughta do right
He oughta do right by me

I think I'm gonna be sad
I think it's today Yeah
The boy that's driving me mad is going away.

He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
and he don't care, don't care.


14.Get Together

Lyrics:Chet Powers
Music:Chet Powers

Love is but a song we sing
and fear's the way we die,
You can make the mountains ring
or make the angels cry,
Tho' the bird is on the wing
and you may not know why.

C'mon people, now
smile on your brother,
ev'ry-body get together,
try to love one another right now.

Some will come and some will go
and we shall surely pass
When the one that left us here
returns for us at last
We are but a moments sunlight
fading in the grass.

C'mon people, now
smile on your brother,
ev'ry-body get together,
try to love one another right now.

If you hear the song I sing
you will understand
You hold the key to love and fear
in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both,
it's there at your command.

C'mon people, now
smile on your brother,
ev'ry-body get together,
try to love one another right now.


15.Interview(Your Navy Presents Version)


16.Love Is Surrender

Lyrics:Ralph Carmichael
Music:Ralph Carmichael

Talk about love
how it makes life complete
You can talk all you want
make it sound nice and sweet,
But the words have an empty ring,
and they don't really mean a thing,

Chorus:
Without Him love is not to be found;
not to be found.
For love is surrender,
Love is surrender to His will
Love is surrender to His will

Sing about love
and the strength it can give
You can sing how you're ready
to face life and live,
But you know as the days go by
that no matter how hard you try,

Chorus

Shout about love
and the wars will all end
You can shout we're all brothers
and even pretend
But you can't cover up the past
just pretending we'll never last,

Chorus


17.Maybe It's You

Lyrics:Richard Carpenter
Music:Richard Carpenter

Maybe it's you, maybe it's me
Maybe it's just the constant rhythm of the sea
Maybe it's just that I've never been the kind
who can pass a lucky penny by

Maybe it's wise, maybe it's not
Maybe it's you who brought the caring I forgot
Isn't it nice to talk about the special way
that you smile whenever I'm around

Rising on the shore the ocean came
Walks along the waves of velveteen
His only thought was love for me

Couldn't we stay or must you go
Couldn't we stay and watch the splashing rocks we throw
Only a fool would want to leave the paradise
that I find whenever you're around
Only a fool

Isn't it nice to talk about the special way
that you smile whenever I'm around

Rising on the shore the ocean came
Walks along the waves of velveteen
His only thought was love for me

Couldn't we stay and watch the splashing rocks we throw
Only a fool would want to leave the paradise
that I find whenever you're around
Only a fool.


18.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


19.Mr. Guder

Lyrics:Richard Carpenter
Music:Richard Carpenter

Mister Guder, say Mister Guder,
May I have a moment with you,
For there is something I've got to say
and please don't let it scare you away.

Mister Guder, say Mister Guder,
I have seen you go through a day,
You're ev'ry-thing a robot lives for,
walk in at night and roll out the door at five.

You reflect the company image,
you maintain their rules to live by,
Shine your shoes, let's keep a neat haircut
now that you're wearing a coat and tie.

Mister Guder, say Mister Guder,
someday soon you may realize
you've blown your life just playing a game
where no one wins but ev'ry one stays the same.


20.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.


21.Merry Christmas Darling

Written:Frank Poole/Richard Carpenter

Greeting cards have all been sent
The Christmas rush is through
But I still have one more wish to make
A special one for you

Merry Christmas darling
We're apart that's true
But I can dream and in my dreams
I'm Christmas-ing with you

Holidays are joyful
There's always something new
But every day's a holiday
When I'm near to you
The lights on my tree
I wish you could see
I wish it every day
The logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say

That I wish you a Merry Christmas
Happy New Year, too
I've just one wish
On this Christmas Eve
I wish I were with you
I wish I were with you


22.For All We Know(From'Lovers And Other Strangers')

Written:Fred Karlin/Robb Wilson/Arthur James

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.


23.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.


24.Superstar

Written:Leon Russell/Bonnie Bramlett

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.


25.Let Me Be The One

Written:Paul Williams/Roger Nichols

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.


26.Bless The Beasts And Children(From'Bless The Beasts And Children')


Written:Barry Devorzon/Perry Botkin Jr

Bless the beasts and the children
For in this world they have no voice
They have no choice

Bless the beasts and the children
For the world can never be
The world they see

Light their way
When the darkness surrounds them
Give them love
Let it shine all around them

Bless the beasts and the children
Give them shelter from a storm
Keep them safe
Keep them warm

Light their way
When the darkness surrounds them
Give them love
Let it shine all around them

Bless the beasts and the children
Give them shelter from a storm
Keep them safe
Keep them warm

The children
The children


27.Hurting Each Other

Lyrics:Peter Udell/Gary Geld
Music:Peter Udell/Gary Geld

No one in the world
Ever had a love as sweet as my love
For nowhere in the wolrd
Could there be a boy as true as you love
All my love
I give gladly to you
All your love
You give gladly to me
Tell me why then
Oh why should it be that

We go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why

Close than the leaves
On a weepin' willow, baby, we are
Closer dear are we
Than the simple letters 'A' and 'B' are
All my life
I could love only you
All your life
You could love only me
Tell me why than
Oh why should it be that

We go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why

Can't we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry
Breaking each other's heart
Tearing each other apart


28.It's Going To Take Some Time

Lyrics:Carole King/Toni Stern
Music:Carole King/Toni Stern

It's gonna take some time this time
To get myself in shape.
I really fell out of line this time,
I really missed the gate.
The birds on the telephone like, (next time)
Are cryin' out to me, (next time)
And I won't be so blind next time,
And I'll find some harmony.

But it's going to take some time this time,
And I can't make demands.
But, like the young trees in the winter time,
I'll learn how to bend.
After all the tears we've spent,
How could we make amends?
So, it's one more round for experience
And I'm on the road again,
And it's going to take some time this time!

But it's going to take some time this time,
No matter what I've planned.
And, like the young trees in the winter time,
I'll learn how to bend.
After all the tears we've spent,
How could we make amends?
So, it's one more round for experience
And I'm on the road again,
And it's going to take some time this time!


29.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


30.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


31.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


32.Goodbye To Love

Written:Richard Carpenter/John Bettis

I'll say goodbye to love
No one ever cared if I should live or die
Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by
And all I know of love is how to live without it
I just can't seem to find it

So I've made my mind up I must live my life alone
And though it's not the easy way
I guess I've always known
I'd say goodbye to love

There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine
Surely time will lose these bitter memories
And I'll find that there is someone to believe in
And to live for something I could live for

All the years of useless search
Have finally reached an end
Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend
From this day love is forgotten
I'll go on as best I can

What lies in the future is a mystery to us all
No one can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls
There may come a time when I will see that I've been wrong
But for now this is my song

And it's goodbye to love
I'll say goodbye to love


33.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.


34.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.

Sing, sing a song
Let the world sing along
Sing of love there could be
Sing for you and for me.

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.


35.Jambalaya(On The Bayou)

Lyrics:Hank Williams
Music:Hank Williams

Good-bye, Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou.
My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

(Chorus)
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin'
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

(Chorus)
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Settle down far from town, get me a pirogue
And I'll catch all the fish in the bayou
Swap my mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

(Chorus)Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.


36.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

38.Yesterday Once More(Reprise)

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.

42.Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

Written:J.Fred Coots/Henry Gillespie

You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list, And checking it twice; Gonna find out Who's
naughty
and nice. Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

Oh! You better watch out! You better not cry. Better not pout,
I'm telling
you why. Santa Claus is coming to town.
Santa Claus is coming to town.


43.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)


44.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.


45.Tryin' To Get The Feeling Again

At any moment he'll be walking through that door
But he won't find me behind it
'Cause the fellin is gone and just won't come back any more
I worked so hard to find it
I've been up, down, tryin' to get the feeling again
All around tryin' to get the feeling again
The one that made me shiver,
Make my knees start to quiver every time he walks in
I've look high, low, everywhere I possibly can
But there's just no tryin' to get the feeling again
It seemed to disappear as fast at it came
Read every book, looked, for every meditation and poem
Just to bring home that old sweet sensation
But it ain't no use to me to try to get the feeling again.

When did it leave me
How did I come to miss use such a beautiful bonnet
But baby believe me, I've done everything I can do
But somehow it's not returnin'
I've been up, down, tryin' to get the feeling again
Like a bloodhound searching for a long lost friend
Could you help me rediscover
The way to re-be his lover once again
Read every book, looked, for every meditaion and poem
just to bring home that old sweet sensation
But it ain't' no use to me to try to get the feeling
I want to get that feeling again.

Would you help me rediscover
The way to re-be his lover once again
Read every book, looked, for every meditation and poem
Just to bring home that old sweet sensation
But it ain't no use to me to try to get the feeling
I want to get that feeling again.


46.Good Friends Are For Keeps

Hey now don't let your empty room ever get you down
You can fill the silence with a smile
And don't let the crowds on the street
Make you feel like you are just a stranger in town
If you feel happy,
Or if you wanna weep,
Or you wanna warm word before you sleep

Remember,
Good friends are forever
Good friends are forever
Good friends are for keeps

Good friends are forever
Good friends are forever
Good friends are for keeps


47.Ordinary Fool

Lyrics:Paul Williams
Music:Paul Williams

Only a fool, like fools before me I always think with my heart.
Only a fool, that same old story, seems I was born for the part.
It's a lesson to be learned, and a page I should have turned,
I shouldn't cry, but I do, like an Ordinary Fool,
when his ordinary dreams fall through.

How many times have I mistaken good looks and laughs for bad
news?
How many times have I mistaken good looks and laughs for the
blues?
When a road I've walked before ends alone at my front door
I shouldn't cry but I do, like an Ordinary Fool,
when his ordinary dreams fall through.

(Instrumental Solo)

When a road I've walked before ends alone at my front door,
I shouldn't cry but I do,
Like an Ordinary Fool, when his ordinary dreams fall through


48.Sandy

Written:Richard Carpenter/John Bettis

Looking at you I'm almost home again.
Something in you puts me at ease.
Yes I know that you're suspicious of me, do I mean the things I
say?
You know I've been in love before, that much is true,
but though I've been in love before it wasn't with you.

(Chorus)
Oo, Sandy Could we spend the day together?
You know how rainy weather get me down when I'm alone.
You Sandy, you gotta be a friend today.
An hour with you could chase the winter away.

Being with you I'm like a child again.
Your eyes can see clearer than mine.
No one ever made me quite so aware, no one ever took the time.
The time it took surprises me, nothing's the same,
As if my life began again hearing you name.

(Repeat Chorus)

An hour with you could chase the winter away


49.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


50.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 *


51.From This Moment On

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter

From this moment on you and me dear.
Only two for tea dear from this moment on.
From this happy day no more blue songs.
Only hoopty-do songs from this moment on.

For you got the love I need so much,
Got the skin I love to touch.
Got the arms to hold me tight.
You got the sweet lips to kiss me good night.

From this moment on, you and I babe, we'll be riding high babe.
Every care is gone.
From this moment on

54.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.

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

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, most extraordinary craft

Calling occupants
Calling occupants
Calling occupants of interplanetary, anti-adversary craft

We are your friends

58.White Christmas

Lyrics:Irving Berlin
Music:Irving Berlin

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card around
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card around
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
And may all your Christmases be white


59.Little Altar Boy

Little alter boy, I wonder could you pray for me?
Little alter boy, for I have gone astray
What must I do to be holy like you?
Little alter boy ,oh, let me hear you pray

Little alter boy, I wonder could you ask your Lord
Ask him, alter boy, to take my sins away
What must I do to be holy like you?
Little alter boy, oh, let me hear you pray

Lift up your voice and send a pray above
Help me rejoice and fill that prayer with love
Now I know my life has been all wrong
Lift my your voice and help a sinner be strong

Little alter boy, I wonder could you pry for me?
Could you tell our Lord I'm gonna change my ways today?
What must I do to be holy like you?
Little alter boy, oh, let me hear you pray
Little alter boy please let me hear you pray!

61.Where Do I Go From Here?

Lyrics:Parker Mcgee
Music:Parker Mcgee

Autumn days
lying on a bed of leaves
watching clouds up through the trees
you said our love was more than time
it's colder now, the trees are bare and the nights are long
can't get warm since you been gone
I can't stop singing sad songs

CHORUS:

where do I go from here
tell me where do I go from here
you say that you take me through the years
so where do I go from here
lovers plans, like falling leaves on windy days
flutter past and they fly away
I thought I knew you all so well
and I need you now
I need to feel you in the night
I need your smile so warm and bright
I wish my mind could let you go

REPEAT CHORUS TWICE


62.Little Girl Blue

Written:Lorenz Hart/Richard Rodgers

Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do
Old girl you're through
Sit there and count your little fingers
Unlucky little girl blue

Sit there and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on is the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue

No use old girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer up little girl blue

When I was very young
The world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel
The circus tent was strung with every star in the sky
Above the ring I love so well
Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the tinsel and gold

All you can count on is the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue


63.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.


64.If I Had You

Written:Steve Dorff/Gary Harju/Larry Herbstritt

I wouldn't have the TV in the bedroom
I wouldn't have this tear drop in my eye
I wouldn't need the radio to be my lullaby
If I had you, if I had you

I wouldn't need the sun to light the morning
(I would need no sunshine)
If I could have your love to light my night
I'd never for a second keep our love from burnin' bright
If I had you in my life

If I had you again
I wouldn't be the fool I've been
If I had you again
I'd never let the lovin' end
If I had you again
I'd show you baby you're the only one

So say that you believe in second chances
(You believe in love)
And say you'll let me be with you tonight
(All through the night)
If you'll take my hand I'll show you
just how love could be so right
If I had you ( If I had you)
If I had you
(Here in my life)

If I had you again
I wouldn't be the fool I've been
If I had you again
I'd never let the lovin' end
If I had you again
I'd show you baby you're the only one

If you'll take my hand I'll show you
just how love could be so right
(Ooooooooohhhh)
If I had you (If I had you)
If I had you
(Back in my life)

If I had you again
(If I had you, I wouldn't be blue)
I wouldn't be the fool I've been
(I wouldn't be the fool yeah)
If I had you again
I'd never let the lovin' end
(I'd never be a fool)
If I had you again
(If I had you, I would be true)
I'd never let this moment dissappear
(If I had you, I wouldn't be blue)

If I had you in my life.....

67.Make Believe It's Your First Time

Written:Bob Morrison/Johnny Wilson

We've tried our hand at love before.
We've been around the game enough to know the score.
But then is then, and now is now.
And now is all that matters anyhow.

Make believe it's your first time, leave your sadness behind.
Make believe it's your first time, and I'll make believe it's
mine.

The door is closed, it's you and me.
We'll take our time with love, the way it ought to be.
This moment's ours, tonight's the night.
And if we fall in love, that's all right.

Make believe it's your first time, leave your sadness behind.
Make believe it's your first time, and I'll make believe it's
mine.

So close your eyes and hold me close.
Let our hearts pretend that love is ours to share tonight, and
it might
never end.

Make believe it's your first time, leave your sadness behind.
Make believe it's your first time, and I'll make believe it's
mine.
Make believe it's your first time, and I'll make believe it's
mine.


68.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)


69.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.


70.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.


71.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


72.Now

Lyrics:Dean Pitchford
Music:Roger Nichols

Now, Now when it rains I don't feel cold.
Now that I have your hand to hold,
The winds might blow through me but I don't care.
There's no harm in thunder if you are there.

And now, now when we touch my feelings fly.
Now when I'm sailing I know why.
You light up my world like the morning sun.
You're so deep within me, we're almost one.
And now all the fears that I had start to fade.
I was always afraid love might forget me, love might let me
down.
Then look what I found.

The winds might blow through me but I don't care.
There's no harm in thunder is you are there.

And now, now, now when I wake there's someone home.
I'll never face the nights alone.
You gave me the courage I need to win, to open my heart and to
let you in.
And I never really knew how, until now, until now.

No, I never really knew how,----until now.

Feel the heart beat,

We are the melo-dy...
