1.Don't Go Breaking My Heart

Written:ann orson and carte blanche

Don't go breaking my heart
I couldn't if I tried
Oh honey if I get restless
Baby you're not that kind

Don't go breaking my heart
You take the weight off me
Oh honey when you knock on my door
I gave you my key

Nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your clown
Nobody knows it Nobody knows
Right from the start
I gave you my heart Oh~
I gave you my heart

So don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart

And nobody told us
'Cause nobody showed us
And now it's up to us girl
I think we can make it

So don't misunderstand me
You put the light in my life
You put the sparks to the flame
I've got your heart in my sights


2.Let 'em In

Someone's knockin' at the door
Somebody's ringin' the bell
Someone's knockin' at the door
Somebody's ringin' the bell
Do me a favor
Open the door and let 'em in

Sister Suzie, brother John
Martin Luther, Phil and Don
Brother Michael, auntie Gin
Open the door and let 'em in

Oh Carolyn, auntie Gin


3.Takin' It To The Streets

You don't know me but I'm your brother
I was raised here in this living hell
You don't know my kind in your world
Fairly soon the time will tell
You
Telling me the things you're gonna do for me
I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see
Takin' it to the streets
Takin' it to the streets
Takin' it to the streets
Takin' it to the streets

Take this message to my brother
You will find him everywhere
Wherever people live together
Tied in poverty's despair
Hey you


4.Get Closer

Darlin' if you want me to be
Closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin' if you want me to be
Closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin' if you want me to love
Love only you, then love only me
Darlin' if you want me to see
See only you, then see only me
There's a line, I can't cross over
It's no good for me and it's no good for you
And there's a feelin', deep down inside me
I can't explain it and you're wondering why
You say we've been like strangers
But I'm not the others
You can wrap 'round your fingers
There was a time, I when I would come runnin'
I'd drop everything
For the touch of your hand in mine
You were blind and now you regret it
Cause I can't forget it
It's locked in my mind
And I can't go on livin' day to day
Wondering if we'll be here tomorrow
People change and you're changin'
And I've given you my all
There's no more to borrow


5.Shannon

Another day's at end
Mama says she's tired again
No one can even begin to tell her

I hardly know what to say
But maybe it's better that way
If poppa were here I'm sure he'd tell her

Shannon is gone I heard
She's drifting out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Ah....
Maybe she'll find an island
With a shaded tree
Just like the one in our backyard
Ah...

Mama tries hard to pretend
That things will get better again
Somehow she's keepin' it all inside her

But finally the tears fill our eyes
And I know that somewhere tonight
She knows how much we really miss her


6.Three Wishes(76版)

作詞:林子祥
作曲:林子祥

The 1st wish that I'll ask for
To see me through my days
Is the best of health to the ones I love
And to send all ills away
When we pass through our darkest hour
That we'll surely rise above
To live to love to heal to keep
And to fly with the peaceful aove

The 2nd wish that I'll ask for
Is to have my senses sing
To hear the love and joyous sounds
And to feel the silence within
To be touched by the warmth of Father Sun
Loving glance from mother moon
To woo to love to sow to reap
And to sing with the seasons tune

And the last wish that I'll ask to be
Is that you'll grant me another 3


7.Love In The Shadows

In the shadows
You get to know your lover mostly by feel
You got to put your faith in things you can touch
If you dare to
'Cause the shadows
Can make you crazy with the things they reveal
They show it all without revealing too much
Scare the hell out of you
'Cause me and my love
Live among the shadows
Where the old playground
Is an alley way
Now me and my love
Make love among the shadows
When the sun goes down
In a dark hallway

Love in the shadows where the crowd never goes
Deep in the shadows where flowers won't grow
Me and my baby know love in the shadows

In the shadows
You got to work at love to get it to shine
You can't believe in everything that you see
Not this time around
'Cause the shadows
Can play a half a million tricks on your mind
You try your best but you can never break free
It just kind of drags you down

Love in the shadows Love in the shadows
Love in the shadows


8.Country Boy

Livin' in the city
Ain't never been my idea of gettin' it on
But the job demands that you make new plans
Before your big chance is gone
You get a house in the hills
You're payin' everyone's bills
And they tell you that you're gonna go far
But in the back of my mind
I hear it time after time
Is that who you really are
Country boy, you got your feet in L.A.
But your mind's on Tennessee
Lookin' back, I can remember the time
When I sang my songs for free
Country boy, you got your feet in L.A.
Take a look at everything you own
But now and then, my heart keeps goin' home

Talkin' on the telephone
Settin' up another day of people to meet
You've gotta do what's right
You've spend the night
Stayin' in touch with the street
When you're surrounded by friends
They say the fun never ends
But I guess I'll never figure it out
'Cause in the back of my mind
I hear it time after time
Is this what it's all about


9.Never Gonna Fall in Love Again

No use pretending things can still be right
There's really nothing more to say
I'll get along without your kiss tonight
Just close the door and walk away

Never gonna fall in love again
I don't wanna start with someone new
'Cause I couldn't bear to see it end
Just like me and you
No, I never wanna feel the pain
Of remembering how it used to be
Never gonna fall in love again
Just like you and me

At first we thought that love was here to stay
The summer made it seem so right
But like the sun we watched it fade away
From morning into lonely night


10.Steppin' Out

You go where you want do what you please
Never let on, not even once
That you've ever been lonely
It's nice to see you alone
Are you looking for something
Maybe you ain't gettin' at home

Your hair is in place dressing to kill
Your old man has said that when he dies
He will leave you his money
And the pool where you swim
Are you looking for something
Maybe you ain't gettin' from him

Steppin' out, steppin' out
To get a little action on the side
Steppin' out, steppin' out
The day time queen takes a midnight ride
And it's plain as plain could be
You're a woman who wants to be free
So if you're steppin' out tonight honey
Come on and step out with me

The party's a bore, it's bound to get worse
Let's slip out somewhere and engage
In our own celebration
Let me pour you some wine
Are you thinking maybe baby
Your needs are the same as mine

Let's go for a walk, go for a ride
Or maybe just stand here and think
What we can do to eachother
No we don't have to dance
If you're thinking of stepping out
Honey this is your chance


11.Will You Love Me Tomorrow

Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
Can I believe the magic of your sighs
Will you still love me tomorrow

Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun

I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow


12.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 being too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over
But the words got in the way
We're lost inside
This lonely game we play

Throughts of leaving disappear
Every time I see your eyes
And no matter how hard I try
To understand the reason
That we carry on this way
And we're lost in this masquerade
