Take a look around now Change the direction Adjust the tuning Try a new translation Don't look at your man in the same old way Take a new picture Just because you don't see shooting stars Doesn't mean it isn't perfect can't you see... It's the stuff that dreams are made of It's the slow and steady fire It's the stuff that dreams are made of It's your heart and soul's desire It's the stuff that dreams are made of So what's this about your best friend? She's got a brand new shiny boy And they're moving out to Malibu To play with all his pretty toys And you feel closed in by the same four walls The same old conversation With the same old guy you've know for years But use your imagination And you will see.... It's the stuff that dreams are made of It's the slow and steady fire It's the stuff that dreams are made of It's your heart and soul's desire It's the stuff that dreams are made of What if the Prince on the horse in your fairytale Is right here in disguise And what if the stars you've been reaching so high for Are shining in his eyes Don't look at yourself in the same old way Take another picture Shoot the stars off in your own backyard Don't look any further And you will see It's the stuff that dreams are made of.... |

You walked into the party
Like you were walking onto a yacht Your hat strategically dipped below one eye Your scarf it was apricot You had one eye in the mirror As you watched yourself gavotte And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner They'd be your partner, and... You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you You're so vain, I bet you think this song is about you Don't you, don't you? You had me several years ago When I was still quite naive. Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair And that you would never leave But you gave away the things you loved And one of them was me. I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee Clouds in my coffee, and... You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you You're so vain, I bet you think this song is about you Don't you, don't you? I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee Clouds in my coffee, and... You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you You're so vain, I bet you think this song is about you Don't you, don't you? Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga And your horse, Naturally, won. Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia To see the total eclipse of the sun. Well, you're where you should be all the time And when you're not you're with some underworld spy Or the wife of a close friend Wife of a close friend... You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you You're so vain, I bet you think this song is about you Don't you, don't you? You're so vain You probably think this song is about you |

If you want to be brave And reach for the top of the sky And the farthest point on the horizon Do you know who you'll meet there Great soldiers and seafarers, Artists and dreamers Who need to be close, close to the light They need to be in danger of burning by fire And I, I want to get there I, I want to be one One who is touched by the sun, One who is touched by the sun Often I want to walk The safe side of the street And lull myself to sleep And dull my pain But deep down inside I know I've got to learn from the greats, Earn my right to be living, Let my wings of desire Soar over the night I need to let them say "She must have been mad" And I, I want to get there I, I want to be one One who is touched by the sun, One who is touched by the sun I've got to learn from the greats, Earn my right to be living, With every breath that I take, Every heartbeat And I, I want to get there I, I want to be one, One who is touched by the sun, One who is touched by the sun. |

All those crazy nights when I cried myself to sleep
Now melodrama never makes me weep anymore 'Cause I haven't got time for the pain I haven't got room for the pain I haven't the need for the pain Not since I've known you You showed me how, how to leave myself behind How to turn down the noise in my mind Now I haven't got time for the pain I haven't got room for the pain I haven't the need for the pain Not since I've known you Suffering was the only thing that made me feel I was alive Though that's just how much it cost to survive in this world 'Til you showed me how, how to fill my heart with love How to open up and drink in all that white love Pouring down from the heaven I haven't got time for the pain I haven't got room for the pain I haven't the need for the pain Not since I've known you |

Better not tell her, that I was your lover Better not make her jealous of me Better convince her there was nothing between us I'm not those initials in your diary But if you slip and my name comes up Don't deny that you knew me Just leave out the white nights The moon in your window The break in your whisper The promises after Better not tell her why you love Spanish dancing Don't bother to say that it's hot in the summer in Madrid Let it all go now, Like smoke from a candle Like the trace of a song that you hear in the wind But if you slip and my name comes up Don't deny that you knew me Just leave out the white nights The moon in your window The break in your whisper The promises after Leave out the tears and the laughter She won't need to know That I cried when you left That I think of you still But if you slip and my name comes up Don't deny that you knew me Just leave out the white nights The moon in your window The break in your whisper The promises after Leave out the tears and the laughter She won't need to know That I'd die for your love That I still...love...you |

Well I have known you
Since you were a small boy And your mama used to say "My boy is gonna grow up and be Some kind of leader some day" Then you'd turn on the radio And sing with the singer in the band Your mama would say to you "This isn't exactly what we had planned" But you're a legend in your own time A hero in the footlights Playin' tunes to fit your rhyme But a legend's only a lonely boy When he goes home alone. And though I know you Still have the heart of that small boy Well, you lend it out far too much And no one woman lovin' you Can ever feel that she's been really touched Then you turn on the radio And sing with the singer in the band Think kind of sadly to yourself This isn't exactly what you had planned But you're a legend in your own time A hero in the footlights Playin' tunes to fit your rhyme But a legend's only a lonely boy When he goes home alone Well a legend's only a lonely boy When he goes home alone |

My father sits at night with no lights on
His cigarette glows in the dark. The living room is still; I walk by, no remark. I tiptoe past the master bedroom where My mother reads her magazines. I hear her call sweet dreams, But I forgot how to dream. But you say it's time we moved in together And raised a family of our own, you and me - Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be: You want to marry me, we'll marry. My friends from college they're all married now; They have their houses and their lawns. They have their silent noons, Tearful nights, angry dawns. Their children hate them for the things they're not; They hate themselves for what they are- And yet they drink, they laugh, Close the wound, hide the scar. But you say it's time we moved in together And raised a family of our own, you and me - Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be: You want to marry me, we'll marry. You say we can keep our love alive Babe - all I know is what I see - The couples cling and claw And drown in love's debris. You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds, But soon you'll cage me on your shelf - I'll never learn to be just me first By myself. Well O.K., it's time we moved in together And raised a family of our own, you and me - Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be, You want to marry me, we'll marry, We'll marry. |

Dear mother the struggle is over now
And your house is up for sale We divided your railway watches Between the four of us I fought over the pearls With the other girls But it was all a metaphor For what was wrong with us As the room is emptying out Your face so young comes into view And on the back porch is a well-worn step And a pool of light you can walk into I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river... Can you clear up the mystery of the Sphinx? Do you know any more about God? Are you dancing with Benjamin Franklin On the face of the moon? Have you reconciled with Dad? Does the rain still make you sad? Last night I swear I could feel you Moving through my room And I thought you touched my feet I so wanted it to be true In my theater there is a stage And a footlight you can step into... I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river... In the river I know I will find the key And your voice will rise like the spray In the moment of knowing The tide will wash away my doubt 'Cause you're already home Making it nice for when I come home Like the way I find my bed turned down Coming in from a late night out. Please keep reminding me Of what in my soul I know is true Come in my boat, there's a seat beside me And two or three stars we can gaze into... I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you forever Like a river... I'll never leave, always just a dream away A star that's always watching Never turn away We'll never leave, always just a thought away A candle always burning Never turn away The moon will hide, the tree will bend I'm right beside you I'll never turn away |

We can never know about the days to come
but we think about them anyway. And I wonder if I'm really with you now or just chasing after some finer day Anticipation, anticipation is making me late is keeping me waiting And I tell you how easy it feels to be with you and how right your arms feel around me. But I rehearsed those words just late last night when I was thinking about how right tonight might be. Anticipation, Anticipation is making me late is keeping me waiting And tomorrow we might not be together I'm no prophet, i don't know nature's ways. So I'll try and see into your eyes right now and stay right here, 'cause these are the good old days. |

I have no need of half of anything
No half time, no half a man's attention Give me all the earth and sky And at the same time Add a new dimension Half the truth is of no use Give it all, give it all to me I can stand it, I am strong that way Give me all night Give me the full moon And if I can't take the whole of you Give it to me anyway Give me all night 'Till the last star fades And if you can' t take my heart and soul Take it from me anyway Don't give me fountains, I need waterfalls And, when I cry, my tears will fill an ocean The pain of love, I'll accept it all As long as you'll join me in that emotion Half of lovin' is no fun Give it all, give it all to me I can stand it, I am strong that way (Repeat Chorus) Don't leave me guessing alone Don't walk me half the way home You can do that tomorrow Just give me, give me all night (Repeat Chorus) |

How can we know the fate of the earth?
Must everything go from bad to worse? How can we be just along for the ride? We'd rather believe that we decide That we can stand here And say loud and clear Here comes the turn of the tide Here comes the turn Here comes the turn Here comes the turn of the tide We cannot go on sounding alarms And rattling swords and building bombs And fouling the air and the streams underground We've got to begin to turn it around It's our right to be heard Our right to decide Here comes the turn of the tide Here comes the turn Here comes the turn Here comes the turn of the tide As low as we've gone Now the ocean is calm And here comes the turn of the tide It's time to be heard It's time to decide Here comes the turn of the tide Here comes the turn Here comes the turn Here comes the turn of the tide Here comes the turn Here comes the turn Here comes the turn of the tide Here comes the turn Here comes the turn Here comes the turn of the tide Here comes the turn Here comes the turn Here comes the turn of the tide |

Lyrics by: Carly Simon Children carry through the streets A brightly painted star Angels gather 'round the hearth Strumming on guitars Men of great renown and faith Say prayers on boulevards It's the night before Christmas But you don't have to be an angel To sing harmony And you don't have to be a child To love the mystery And you don't have to be a wise man On bended knee The heart of this Christmas is in you and me The night before Christmas The night before Christmas If you're heart's been longing And you've been afraid to try Sorrow's kept you company And the dance has passed you by I'll lift you up and blaze with you Across the moonlit sky On the night before Christmas 'Cause you don't have to be an angel To sing in harmony And you don't have to be a child to love the mystery And you don't have to be a wise man On bended knee The heart of this Christmas is in you and me The heart of this Christmas is in you and me The night before Christmas The night before Christmas |

Thank you for informing me That I've been banned from Canada It comes as no suprise to me Since last week it was Africa Since you've been ambassador There's trouble at the border La la la la la la la Halfway 'round the world It's amusing still it makes me wince Your face is like a scimitar When accidentally eye to eye You shoot a look of vinegar What could I have done to you To mkae you act the way you do La la la la la la la Halfway 'round the world For whatever reason You would keep me Halfway 'round the world I believe it's like some kind of compliment I must be quite a girl Quite a girl La la la la la la la Halfway 'round the world Once upon a time you swore you'd love me 'Til the end of the world Now, nowhere is far enough away for you I must be quite a girl Quite a girl... La la la la la la la Halfway 'round the world |

I've been doing a lot of thinking About growing older and moving on Nobody wants to be told that they're getting on Andf maybe going away For a long, long stay But just how long and who knows And how and where my spirit will go Will it soar like Jazz on a saxophone Or evaporate on a breeze Won't you tell me please That life is eternal And love is immortal And death is only a horizon Life is eternal As we move into the light And a horizon is nothing Save the limit of our sight Save the limit of our sight Here on earth I'm a lost soul Ever trying to find my way back home Maybe that's why each new star is born Expanding heaven's room Eternity in bloom And will I see you up in that heaven In all it's light will I know you're there Will we say the things that we never dared If wishing makes it so Won't you let me know That life is eternal And love is immortal And death is only a horizon Life is eternal As we move into the light And a horizon is nothing Save the limit of our sight Save the limit of our sight |

We have no secrets
We tell each other everything About the lovers in the past And why they didn't last We share a cast of characters from A to Z We know each other's fantasies And though we know each other better when we explore Sometimes I wish Often I wish That I never knew some of those secrets of yours The water was cold The beach was empty but for one Now you were lying in the sun Wanting and needing no-one Then some child came, you never asked for her to come She drank a pint of your rum And later when you told me You said she was a bore Sometimes I wish Often I wish That I never knew some of those secrets of yours In the name of honesty, in the name of what is fair You always answer my questions But they don't always answer my prayers And though I know you say that it's me that you adore Sometimes I wish Often I wish That I never, never, never knew Some of those secrets of yours Some of those secrets of yours Some of those secrets of yours We have no secrets Telling each other most everything now |

Take me out to the ball game
Take me out with the crowd Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks I don't care if I ever get back Cause it's root, root, root for the home team If they don't win it's a shame Cause it's one, two, three strikes, you're out At the old ball game Cause it's one, two, three strikes, you're out At the old ball game |

Back the way it was before Before the heart was broken Playing hookey, making cookies We were always jokin? Back the way it used to be Talks didn't end in a quarrel Everything seemed so normal Back the way it was before But now the limo pulls up to the door And she gets in She calls bye, bye honey Here is some money I forgot the groceries Back the way it was before The chicken pox was easy We told each other everything And nobody was nosey Back the way it used to be When we were a happy family Nobody ever asked us If we wanted tiny little sandwiches Sent up to our room |

(Chorus) The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout Down came the rain and washed the spider out Out came the sun and dried up all the rain And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again I believe in love And who knows where or when But it's comin' around again (Chorus) I know nothin?stays the same But if you're willing to play the game It's comin' around again (Chorus) |

Play
You can play with me But take it easy Have You can have your fun But only with me I've had Some big time winners Played games You'd never imagine I'd know But now I'm ready To quit those sinners I've turned myself Into the ground And now I feel so slow Put a smile on my face But don't bloodshot My eyes The love That you give to me Has enough surprise Baby You know what I was You've seen me At parties before And don't cha know That all That running around Was wild and gay But in the end Just a bore So play You can play with me But take it easy I said take it easy Take is easy |

My love is like a red, red rose
That's newly strung in June My love is like a melody That's sweetly played in tune As far art thou, my bonnie las So deep in love am I And I will love thee still, my dear Til all the seas gang dry Til all the seas gang dry Till all the seas gang dry, my dear And the rocks melt with the sun I will love thee still, my dear While the sands of life shall run And fare thee well, my only love And fare thee well a while And I will come again, my love Though it were ten thousand miles Though it were ten thousand miles |

It happens everyday Two lovers with the best intentions to stay Together they the decide to seperate Just how it happens neither is certain But it happens everyday It happens everyday After you break up You say these words to your friends: 'How could I have loved that boy? He was so bad to me in the end? Well, you make him a liar turn him into a robber Well, it happens everyday. But I don't regret that I loved you How I loved you I will never forget And in time I'll look back and remember The boy that I knew when we first met. Still it happens everyday Two lovers turn and twist their love into hate But am I so different From those young girls you used to date? You used to adore me You used to adore me Still it happens everyday |

I'm home again in my old narrow bed Where I grew tall and my feet hung over the end The low beam room with the window looking out On the soft summer garden Where the boys grew in the trees here I grew guilty And no one was at fault Frightened by the power in every innocent thought And the silent understanding passing down >From daughter to daughter Let the boys grow in the trees Do you go to them or do you let them come to you Do you stand in back afraid that you'll intrude Deny yourself and hope someone will see And live like a flower While the boys grew in the trees last night I slept in sheets the colour of fire Tonight I lie alone again and curse my own desires Sentenced first to burn and then to freeze And watch by the window Where the boys grew in the trees |

Orpheus, it could have been you could have held me again You said your songs had all gone And that the road back up was too long But it ws there for us It was there for us I loved you all along Orpheus The part of me that died Was ready to be reborn And you called of the hounds Of hell with your songs Orpheus, Orpheus I loved you all along, Orpheus Orpheus, It could have been You could have held me again But you couldn? wait Somewhere along the road you lost your faith Out of despair and believing I was gone You gave up on my love you gave up on us But it was there for us, It was there for us I loved you all along Orpheus |

The wind is coming up strong and fast And the moon is smiling on me Miles from nowhere so small at last In between the sky and the sea I'm bound for the island The tide is with me I think I can make it before dawn It's night on the ocean I'm going home And it feels like I've never I've never been gone Seagulls cry and the hills are green And my friends are waiting for me Freat ambition is all a dream Let me drown my pride in the sea - I'm bound for the ocean The tide is with me I think I can make it by dawn It's night on the ocean I'm going home And it feels like I've never I've never been gone Oh it feels like I've never i've never been gone |

It's all of our birthdays this summer One number older, another year younger I'll go to your party, you'll come to mine We've given up cigarettes, we've given up wine We've given up caffeine and sworn off desserts I don't try to seduce you, we don't even flirt We're too good to be happy, too straight to be sad So just blow out the candles, Happy Birthday Stay out of the ocean, stay out of the sun Stay in perfect shape and be number one We've got brilliant excuses for having no fun So blow out the candles, Happy Birthday Make love in the microwave Think of all the time you'll save And don't forget to make it look As though you're working very very hard But I'll be your lover if you will be mine We'll go back to the garden and have a good time And if I'm offered an apple, I'll politely decline And just blow out the candles Happy Birthday |

Davy, is there a song out there in the night For us? Davy, is there the kind of smile that you Read about? There are ghosts who would warn me Keep me alone... Davy, are you the heat I feel in my Foolish heart? Davy, there's not a day that I haven't prayed To feel something so worthy For someone like you... Davy, could there be love so bright Like to jump off the sea? Davy, did I imagine it or did you look at me With a look so bold that I had to look away? But if it feels alright If it feels alright and it feels alright Davy, Davy, Davy!!! |

Do the walls come down When you think of me Do your eyes grow dim Do the walls come down When you think of me Do you let me in Nothing like a rainy night To set your heart rememberin' Nothing like a vivid dream To take you back again When you think of me Do your eyes grow dim Do the walls come down When you think of me Do you let me in Something in my pocket That was written years ago In faded ink says, 'You are my fire' Do you think so... Is it easier for you to say You never loved me anyway Or do you hide me in your attic trunk Like a stowaway? |

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone, and all the roses falling 'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide. But come you back when summer's in the meadow Or all the valley's hushed and white with snow 'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so. But come ye back when summer's in the meadow Or all the valley's hushed and white with snow 'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so. But when you come, when all the flowers are dying If I am dead, as dead I well may be Then if you bend and tell me that you love me I'll sleep in peace until you come to me |

I've lived in all of the houses he's built The one in the air The one underground The one on the water The one in the sand He says: It doesn't matter how we live He says: It doesn't matter where we live We're so close we can dispense with houses We don't need a home at all It's come to be a habit with me to dine alone You're never home And the evenings end so early He says: we can be close from afar He says: the closest people always are We're so close that in our separation, There's no distance at all. Sometimes I gout to the car, Turn on the headlights Intending to leave- Sometimes I need to hear the words, My imagination's not as strong as you'd believe- But I've talked to you; You haven't listened at all. I've said I'm numb, I can't even cry, I'm stuck with acting out a part. He says: what do words ever reveal? He says: in speaking one can be so false- We're so close we have a silent language, We don't need words at all. There's a husky voice That speaks to me in the dark And on the phone from studios And Westside bars, Through tunnels of long distance. He says: we're beyond flowers He says: We're beyond compliments- We're so close we can dispense with love We don't need love at all. |

Oh, my heart knows more
With each passing day And I know I'll change If you leave or stay But when our world turns Where it's turning to You'll see some hearts fade While mine shine's on through I will still be there Some day for you You see, somewhere Someone waits for you Who hopes you Will come through Who'll wait until you do You'll see a light In some familiar door And when you reach the shore It won't hurt any more Remember, night may trouble you With endless dreams But blue skies wait for you Beyond the sunrise I'm here, so walk into your fate It never is too late There's someone smiling through Who'll do all they can do, for you Remember, somewhere Someone waits for you There's someone smiling through Who'll do all they can do, for you Remember, somewhere Someone waits for you |

You were born to break You were born to break You were born to break my heart The same kitchen, the same eyes The same reaction to the same lies It was not so long ago, A most auspicious start And only now I know You were born to break my heart Born to break my heart... 'Guilt Trip,'I can hear you say Get a grip girl, you've lost your way You don't begin to understand I guess it's time we part And don;t be usin?that old cliche: You were born to break my heart? You were born to break my heart? No wonder we looked like the perfect couple It was brilliantly conceived It seems I have a yen to lose And you can't pass up the perfect Chance to leave The same plot, the same rain Just as stubborn as a fool You'd think I might get smart But here I am, cursed, to seek love again >From yet another cold heart You were born to break my heart, Born to break my heart |

Time after time
I tell myself that I'm So lucky to be loving you So lucky to be The one you run to see In the evening, when the day is through I only know what I know The passing years will show You've kept my love so young, so new And time after time You'll hear me say that I'm So lucky to be loving you |

(Holmes/Horsey, additional lyrics by Carly Simon)
I know I'm not what you wanted Not what you had in mind And I didn't come close To the mark You'd set For the girl you'd planned to find You've never seen me cry We shared but idle words And a casual goodbye And what shall we do with the child Who's got your eyes My hair And your smile Reminding me that we fell in love But just for a little while You never asked about the girl you never knew And while she was sleeping in my arms She never asked about you Without you seems the only way But time has passed and now She'll soon be asking questions And she'll ask about you And how Shall I say to the child Who's got your eyes, my hair, your smile Reminding me that we fell in love But just for a little while What shall we do with the child Who's got your eyes, my hair, your smile |

He may not always say
What you would have him say But now and then he'll say something wonderful The thoughtless things he'll do Will hurt and worry you Then all at once he'll do something wonderful He has a thousand dreams that won't come true You know that he believes in them And that's enough for you You'll always go along with Defend him when he's wrong And tell him when he's strong He is wonderful He'll always need your love And so you'll get you're love A man who needs your love Can be wonderful |

I get along without you very well Of course I do Except when the soft rains fall And drip from the leaves, then I recall The thrill of being sheltered in your arms Of course I do But I get along without you very well I've forgotten you just like I should Of course I have Except to hear your name Or someone's laugh that is just the same But I've forgotten you just like I should What a guy What a fool I am To think my breaking heart could kid the moon What's in store Should I fall once more No it's best that I stick to my tune I get along without you very well Of course I do Except perhaps in Spring But I should never think of Spring For that would surely break my heart in two |
