Rod Stewart - Thanks For...The Great American Songbook Vol.4 (2005) by Rod Stewart (보컬) on maniadb.com

Goodbye, no use leading with our chins
This is where our story ends
Never lovers, ever friends
Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day
But before you walk away
I sincerely want to say
I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this
I wish you love
And in July a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health
And more than wealth
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best
My very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love

My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best
My very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
I wish you love

Darling you send me
I know you send me
Darling you send me
Honest you do, honest you do
Honest you do, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You thrill me
I know you, you, you thrill me
Darling you, you, you, you thrill me
Honest you do

At first I thought it was infatuation
But woo, it's lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you and take you home
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You, you, you, you send me
I know you send me
I know you send me
Honest you do

Whoa-oh-oh, whenever I'm with you
I know, I know, I know when I'm near you
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm, honest you do, honest you do
Whoa-oh-oh, I know-oh-oh-oh

I know, I know, I know, when you hold me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, whenever you kiss me
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm, honest you do

At first I thought it was infatuation
But woo, it's lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you and take you home

I know, I know, I know, you send me
I know you send me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, you you you you send me
Honest you do

Dreary days are over
Life's a four leaf clover
Sessions of depressions are through
Every hope I longed for long ago, comes true
Long ago and far away
I dreamed a dream one day
And now that dream is here beside me
Long the skies were overcast
But now the clouds have passed
You're here at last!
Chills run up and down my spine
Aladdin's Lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for
Long ago was you

Chills run up and down my spine
Aladdin's Lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for
Long ago was you
That all I longed for
Long ago was you

The very thought of you makes my heart sing
Like an April breeze on the wings of spring
And you appear in all your splendor
My one and only love

The shadows fall and spread their mystic charms
In the hush of night while you're in my arms
I feel your lips so warm and tender
My one and only love

The touch of your hand is like heaven
A heaven that I've never known
The blush on your cheek whenever I speak
Tells me that you are my own

You fill my eager heart with such desire
Every kiss you give sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender
My one and only love

You fill my eager heart with such desire
Every kiss you give sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender
My one and only love

Here I go again
I'm hearing trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love
Here I sink again
I'm getting in the pink again
On the brink again
Taking a chance on love
This game I'm taking a crack up
Show needs good love with me
And so I'm taking a whack at
Any black cat that I see

Things are mending now
I see a rainbow blending now
We'll have a happy ending now
Taking a chance on love

Take a chance, oh yeah

I walk around with a horseshoe
And in clover I lie
While Mr. rabbit of course you
Better kiss your foot good-bye
Here I slip again
I'm gonna take that tip again
I've got my grip again
Taking a chance on love
And I'm on the ball again
I'm riding for a fall again
I'm gonna give my all again
Taking a chance on love
Taking a chance on love
I thought the cards were a frame-up
I never would try
But now I'm taking the game up
And the ace of hearts is high
Oh boy I have a boat again
I'm in the swimming pool again
Exclusively mine is cook again
Taking a chance on love
We'll have a happy ending now
Taking a chance on love
On love
Ooh, on love

My funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart

Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my fav'rite work of art

Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine
Stay!
Each day is valentine's day

Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine
Stay, oh stay!
Each day is valentine's day

The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
I've got my love to keep me warm

Ooh I can't remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form!
What do I care if icicles form?
I've got my love to keep me warm

Take off your overcoat, take off your glove
You don't need no overcoat, cause I'm burning with love!
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
I've got my love to keep me warm

Off with your overcoat, off with your glove
You don't need no overcoat, cause I'm burning with love!
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
I've got my love to keep me
I've got my love to keep me
I've got my love to keep me warm

Maybe I'm right and maybe I'm wrong
Well maybe I'm weak and maybe I'm strong
But nevertheless I'm in love with you

Maybe I'll win and maybe I'll lose
Maybe I'm in for crying the blues
But nevertheless I'm in love with you

Somehow I know at a glance
the terrible chances that I'm taking
Fine at the start that left
with a heart that's breaking
Maybe I'll live a life of regret
And maybe I'll give so much more than I get
But nevertheless I'm in love with you
Somehow I know at a glance
the terrible terrible chances I'm taking
Fine at the start but then left
with a heart that's breaking
Maybe I'll live a life of regret
And maybe I'll give much more than I get
But nevertheless I'm in love with you

Blue skies smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies do I see

Bluebirds singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds all day long

Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, oh how they fly

Blue days, all of them gone
Nothing but blue skies from now on

Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, oh how they fly

Blue days, all of them gone
Nothing but blue skies from now on
Nothing but blue skies
Nothing but blue skies
Nothing but blue skies from now on
From now on
From now on
Blue skies

I have a feelin', it's a feelin'
I'm concealin', I don't know why
It's just a mental, incidental,
sentimental, alibi
But I adore you, so strong for you
Why go on stallin', I'm fallin',
love is callin', why be shy?

Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Our hearts are made of it
Let's take a chance,
why be afraid of it?

Let's close our eyes
And make our own paradise
Little we know of it
Still we can try to make a go of it

Now, we might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be,
let our hearts discover

Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Now is the time for it,
while we are young
Let's fall in love

Let's fall in love
Let's fall in love

Thanks for the memory
Of candlelight and wine, castles on the Rhine
The Parthenon and moments on the Hudson River Line
How lovely it was!

Thanks for reminding me
Of rainy afternoons, swingy Harlem tunes
And motor trips and burning lips and burning toast and prunes
How lovely it was!

Many's the time that we feasted
And many's the time that we fasted
Oh, well, it was swell while it lasted
We did have fun and no harm done

So thanks for the memory
Of sunburns at the shore, nights in Singapore
You may have been a headache but you never were a bore
So thank you so much.

Thanks for the memory
Of midnights in Monmartre, galleries of art.
We traveled with the smart set, so I guess that we were smart
I thank you so much

We who could laugh over big things
Were parted by only a slight thing.
Now I wonder if we did the right thing,
No doubt we did, of course we did

So, thanks for the memory
And strictly entre-nous, darling how are you?
And how are all the little dreams that never did come true?
Awfully glad I met you, cheerio, and toodle-oo

And thank you so much
