Voice Of The Heart

Carpenters( 木匠兄妹 ) Voice Of The Heart歌詞
1.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.


2.Sailing On The Tide

Lyrics:John Bettis
Music:Tony Peluso

Here I am, feeling confined.
Neon lights are making me blind.
I need time out in the sunshine.
The city and me just don't agree on who should be.
Maybe I should get away, take myself a holiday.

No more calls begging my time.
No more walls for me to climb.
I can't wait to feel the sunshine.
Leaving at dawn, after I'm gone, life will go on.
Someone's got to take my place, running in the human race.

(Chorus)
Sailing on the tide in the morning, how I love that salty air.
Sailing to the wide horizon, let the fresh winds guide us there
Maybe, if you feel like it too, you might like to make the run,
(make the
run)
Sailing over the ocean to my beautiful island in the sun.

Over there, people are slow;
Low key life is all that they know;
Lying around, high on the sunshine.
Lazy lagoons, warm afternoons,
Tropical moon, sleepy beaches everywhere;
Anyone is welcome there.

Making no plans, play it by ear.
Could be days maybe a year.
I'm gonna be free in the sunshine.
Taking my time, trying to find trying to unwind;
Nothing's gonna hurry me,


3.You're Enough

Lyrics:John Bettis
Music:Richard Carpenter

You're enough,
If I never had another,
Never hold another lover,
Baby, You're enough.

You're enough,
If I know another.
After what we've know together baby,
You're enough.

Can't you see in these eyes that adore you?
I've been waiting here for you,
Baby, can't you see?
Look at me,
See love's greatest non - believer,
Believing that she might be seeing love in your eyes.

Stars above,
Made for wishing,
Made for dreamers.
Won't you listen to this heart and what it's dreaming of?

If' they'll only shine their lucky starlight down on me.
Make it bright enough for only you to see.
Baby, you're enough for me.
Baby, your enough for me.


4.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.


5.Two Lives

Lyrics:Mark Jordan
Music:Mark Jordan

Maybe I'm a dreamer,
Maybe just a fool.
Lately I can hardly see the sun.
If you had a secret,
I could take a guess,
But nothing in your eyes sees to hold me.
Truth or consequences, which one will it be?

Someone said that time would ease the pain
Of two lives love torn apart.
But I believe whoever wrote that song
Never had a broken heart.

One of us is hiding,
One of us can tell.
No one wants to be the last to know.
Someone has to answer,
'Cause someone has to ask,
If keeping on like this is torture.
Going undecided,
You know is twice as bad for sure.

(Repeat Chorus)

No, I can't believe it's over, it's over
And I love you more than ever,
And ever.


6.At The End Of A Song

Lyrics:John Bettis
Music:Richard Carpenter

They tell me somewhere this life isn't crazy,
But I've traveled the world far and wide,
And I say they're wrong.
Don't sell me stories that music's a lady,
It's not when the singers' alone at the end of a song.

At the end of a song, there's no one after the last note is
played.
Only the memory stays, then even that fades away.
And there is nothin' so hard as convincing your heart
That you should start singing again.

You told me nothing could change perfect lovers,
But like ev'ry promise you made,
It broke before long.
It's lovely falling away from each other,
But we've come to the last of our words,
At the end of our song.

(repeat chorus)

That you should start signing again.


7.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


8.Prime Time Love

Written:Mary Unobsky/Danny Ironstone

Playing it safe so long, you lost your inspiration.
Clinging to things that turn out wrong won't help a situation.
Making me pay for the unhappy times (that a bummer.)
Maybe the moon might make you change your mind.

(Chorus)
So don't hold back, contact,
Give yourself a bit of some prime time love.
Don't fight what feels right,
You're looking in the face of prime time love.

I know she left you cold. that's why you need protection.
Buying the lies that you were sold keeps you from true
affection.
Why waste your nights on tryin' to find something better.
Baby, my arms are going to be so kind.

(Repeat chorus 2x)

Trust is the answer, that's how it starts.
I'll take my chances, this one's from the heart.

(Repeat Chorus)


9.Your Baby Doesn't Love You Anymore

Lyrics:John Bettis
Music:Richard Carpenter

Just take some loneliness and add a tear or two,
Throw in some emptiness, next to your bluer than blue.
Keep it all under cover, next to your broken dreams.
And when you're through, then you'll know how I sit alone and
cry,
As the night go by, makes you want to die.
'Cause

(chorus)
Your Baby Doesn't Love You Anymore
Your Baby Doesn't Love You Anymore

You try to make believe it doesn't bother you.
For your own sake, believe you'll make it through.
Just make a vow ev'ry morning,
That today you will change your point of view.
But it's all a game that you play in vain.
And you live in pain, 'cause it's very plain,
When

(repeat chorus)

Give it up!

And there's nothing that you can do, but to break down and cry.
It's over for you
When

(repeat chorus)


10.Look To Your Dreams

Lyrics:John Bettis
Music:Richard Carpenter

To say I'm romantic would be quite semantically true,
But make - believe passion is falling from fashion's milieu.
It's understandable why we're a little confused.
It's asking for trouble just watching the six o-clock news.
But for a moment, all things aside,
Look to your self, somewhere inside.

Look to your dreams,
Don't they still seem worthwhile?
Don't they still seem in style,
Aren't you glad they're still there?
Look to your dreams
There's a need for them now.

When the world has us down, aren't you glad they're around?
Once conceived, once believed, fantasy's reality's childhood.
And like a seed, visions need constant care, like a child would.
We should look to your dreams, we can still make the stars.
We can still break the bars we have built here on earth.

Look to your dreams,
And tomorrow may be better for you and me.
The future may say,
Blame blind yesterday for taking dreams away.
They could mean more then they say.
