COME DOWN EASY
by Carole King & Toni Stern Daytime run away Nightimes seem so long I'm all right in the sunshine But the evenings let me down It sure is good to see you now I'm really glad you came And I would tell you what I need But it never feels the same So come down easy Let it come down slow I've been alone so long that I just don't know what to do And I don't want to lose you How my life slips away How the time goes by And I know I belong here Yes, I know, though I don't know why Riding along with a friend of mine Got enough space, got enough time Pieces of fruit and glasses of wine And love comes in the summertime And I don't want to lose you God bless the children God bless us all We are the children of Paradise On our own now since the fall All the things that are worth having Are never ours to keep Still I can see today could be A good time for you and me If you come down easy... |

MY MY SHE CRIES
by Carole King & Toni Stern My my she cries, everyone dies She waits, but can't get an answer And all he wants to do is dance, dance, dance, dance All he wants to do is dance. My my he lies, look at those eyes While moving in a little closer Moving in on the girl he hardly knows oh, oh, oh See how she flies, under the skies He waits, but she no longer hears him She's gone,, gone, she's gone she's flown away See how she flies, breaking all ties Did anybody really knows her? Oh, did anybody really know? |

PEACE IN THE VALLEY
by Carole King & Toni Stern Looking out my window Peace in the valley just don't come Though I know that man's my brother ANd that I'm the sefish one. The hour is getting later It's time we had begun Knowing something's one thing But the race must still be run Take care of little jealousies And talk that kills for fun And hold your heart in readiness It's so easy to come undone But I think I saw a brand new light Coming over the horizon Brighter than all the others And it says all men are brothers under the skin Brothers under the skin Looking out my window Peace in the valley just don't come Though I know that she's my siter And that I'm the selfish one And I look at other people And I love the ones I can And I wonder if the dreamm will be Or turned into sand Still I think I saw a brand new light Coming over the horizon Brighter than all the others And it says all men are brothers under the skin Brothers under the skin Peace in the valley just don't come |

FEELING SAD TONIGHT
by Carole King & Toni Stern Feeling sad tonight But everything's all right And we'll find some other place to go Feeling sad tonight But everyhting's all right Let's turn all our cares down low. Come on, let's go downtown It's like a trip back to the past Running down the bright night Drivind a little too fast Oh, I'm counting on you Sitting on a barstool I'm a fool Always feeling half right and half safe Halfway dreaming of some safe place away from school Oh, I'm counting on you Silly someitmes I'm a fool. Feeling sad tonight But everything's all right And we'll find some other place to go Feeling sad tonight But everyhting's all right Let's turn all our cares down low. There is a sapce between us Which we cross To touch each other softly And so make up our loss Some things take so long to learn No matter how we try Still we try and keep it open And we get by Feeling sad tonight But everything's all right And we'll find some other place to go Feeling sad tonight Feeling sad Feeling so sad tonight |

THE FIRTS DAY IN AUGUST

BITTER WITH THE SWEET
by Carole King SOmetimes I'm tired and I wonder what's so all-fired important About being someplace at some time Oh, but I don't really mind Cause I could be on Easy Street and I know that You've got to take the bitter with the sweet I guess it gets to everyone, you think you're not having fun And you wonder what you're doing playing the games you play Hey, well, it's true what they say If ou want to feel complete don't you know that You've got to take the bitter with the sweet A friend of mine once told me And I know he knows all about feelin' down He said everything good in life you've got to pay for But feelin' good is waht you're paving the way for So, don't let it get you down, my friend though it seems the blues will never end On this you can depend, they always do And I can tell you that it's true it's a feeling that can't be beat And you've got to do it You've got to take the bitter with the sweet |

GOODBYE DON'T MEAN I'M GONE
by Carole King Don't it seem like the time goes on And here we are still carrying on Reaching out for one another Like a telephone call from an old friend or a brother And you are there to share this song in the making Goodbye don't mean I'm gone I know how alone you are When it's so hard to be so far From the ones who mean the most to you WHen you would so much rather have them close to you I hope you know you haven't been forsaken Goodbye don't mean i'm gone I'll never be what you think you see in me If I can help you deal with what you see as real That makes me glad to have known you Missing you the way I do You know I'd like to see more of you But it's all I can do to be a mother My baby is in one hand, I've a pen in the other You know my love is always there for the taking And goodbye don't mean I'm gone |

STAND BEHIND ME
by Carole King I was wanting someone to talk to Needing to let myself out Knowing beyond a doubt the past is behind me There was nowhere but here to walk to Letting the time go by Trying to see if I could ever find me. It didn't seem to make much sense Thinking about the dent I'd made in the world to date Was I too late, you say Should I create today Or let it be Now needing a hand to cling to Lucky I was to find SOmeone of similar mind to stand behind me Not letting dazzlement blind me Showing me where to find me Willing to just be kind and stand behind me. |

GOTTA GET THROUGH ANOTHER DAY
by Carole King It's a gray, gray gloomy day A strange and moody blues day Gotta get through, gotta get through another day Corn yellow silk and golden sunlight I remember AS we walked together, you and I Love like a sweet flaming glow inside Now has been denied And I've cried till I can't remember why I Gotta get through, gotta get through some way Gotta get through, gotta get through another day Will Tuesday be "good news" day Or another "paying dues" day It's a strange and moody blues day anyway Some say that time brings a better understanding Of the ryme and reason to it all Still the flame keeps burning through the lonely night It's just not all right ANd I wonder if I'll make it till you call I Gotta get through, gotta get through some way It's a gray, gray gloomy day, A strange and moody blues day Gotta get through, gotta get through another day |

I THINK I CAN HEAR YOU
by Carole King What must i do, how can I serve you Is it true what I do is the way to be near you I'm listening, though sometimes I can't hear you. Looikng around fills me with wonder At the way you can keep this old world running smoothly Thinking of you always seems to soothe me I know you're probably not a aman or a woman or a time or a season But I'm here and life is dear And I guess that's a good enough reason to say Just let me do what you put me here to Let me be what you want me to be And I hope it'll cheer you I'm listening and I think I can hear you Even when I thought I didn't believe You believed in me And everyone is a part of you And anyone can know you All they've got to do is be I'm listening, and I think I can hear you. |

Carole King
Green fields and rolling hills Room enough to do what we will Sweet dreams of yestertime are running though my mind Of a place I left behind, been so long, I can't remember when I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again Been so long, I'm living till then Cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until I go back again. Though I'm content with myself Sometimes I long to be somewhere else I try to do what I can, but with our day to day demands We all need a promised land. Been so long, I can't remember when I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again Been so long, I'm living till then 'cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until I go back again. Oh I want to be there in the wintertime With a fireplace burning to warm me And you to hold me when it's stormy Been so long, I can't remember when I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again Been so long, I'm living till then. -- Gail |
