Burt Bacharach [작곡가, 피아니스트]

The look of love
Is in your eyes
A look your smile
Can't disguise
The look of love
It's saying so much more than
just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well, it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you

You've got that look of love
It's on your face
The look that time can't erase
Be mine tonight
Let this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow
And then seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so

The look of love
Is in your eyes
A look your smile
Can't disguise
The look of love
It's saying so much more than
just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well, it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you

You've got that look of love
It's on your face
The look that time can't erase
Be mine tonight
Let this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow
And then seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so

Raindrops keep fallin'on my head,
and just like the guy whose
feet are too big for his bed,
Nothin'seems to fit those
raindrops are fallin'on my head
They keep fallin'

So I just did me some talkin'to the sun,
And I said I didn't like the
way he got things done
sleepin'on the job those
raindrops are fallin'on my head
They keep fallin'

But there's one thing,I know.
The blues they send to meet me
won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness
steps up to greet me.

Raindrops keep fallin'on my head,
but that doesn't mean my
eyes will soon be turnin'red
Cryin'not for me'cause
I'm never gonna stop the
rain by complainin'

Because I'm free
nothin' worryin' me

Now I have nothing, so God give me strength
'Cause I'm weak in her wake
And if I'm strong I might still break
And I don't have anything to share
That I won't throw away into the air

* That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
She was the light that I'd bless
She took my last chance at happiness
So God give me strength, God give me strength

I can't hold onto god give me strength
When the phone doesn't ring
And I'm lost in imagining
Everything that kind of love is worth
As I tumble back down to the earth

* repeat

God if she'd grant me her indulgence and decline
I might as well wipe her from my memory
Fracture the spell as she becomes my enemy
Maybe I was washed out like a lip-print on his shirt
See, I'm only human, I want him to hurt
I want him
I want him to hurt

Since I lost the power to pretend
That there could ever be a happy ending

* Repeat

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No not just for some but for everyone.

Lord, we don't need another mountain,
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross,
Enough to last till the end of time.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone.

Lord, we don't need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, lord, if you want to know.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone.

No, not just for some, oh, but just for everyone.

I just got out my little red book
The minute that you said goodbye
I thumbed right through my little red book
I wasn't gonna sit and cry
And I went from A to Z
I took out every pretty girl in town
They danced with me and as I held them

* All I did was talk about you
Hear your name and I'd start to cry
There's just no getting over you... oh, no...

There ain't no girl in my little red book
Who could ever replace your charms
And each girl in my little red book
Knows you're the one I'm thinkin' of
Oh won't you please come back
Without your precious love I can't go on
Where can love be I need you so much

*Repeat

Oh won't you please come back
Without your precious love I can't go on
It's haunting me I need you so much

All I did was talk and talk about you
Hear your name and I'd start to cry
There's just no getting over you
All I did was talk and talk about you
There's just no getting over you... oh no

What's new, pussycat?
Whoa-oh
What's new, pussycat?
Whoa-oh oh

Pussycat pussycat ,
I've got flowers and lots of hours
to spend with you.
So go and power your cute little pussycat nose

Pussycat, pussycat I love you
Yes I do
You and your pussycat nose.

What's new, pussycat?
Whoa-oh
What's new, pussycat?
Whoa-oh oh


Pussycat, pussycat,
You're so thrilling and I'm so willing
to care for you.
So go and make up you big little pussy cat eyes

Pussycat, pussycat, I love you
Yes I do
You and your pussycat eyes.

What's new, pussycat?
Whoa-oh
What's new, pussycat?
Whoa-oh oh

Pussycat, pussycat,
You're delicious and if my wishes
Can all come true,
I'll soon be kissing your sweet little pussycat lips.

Pussycat, pussycat, I love you
Yes I do
You and your pussycat lips.
Whoa-oh
You and your pussycat eyes.
Whoa-oh
You and your pussycat nose.

What do you get when you fall in love
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

What do you get when you kiss a girl
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, she'll never phone you
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

Don't tell me what it's all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you give your heart
You get it all broken up and battered
That's what you get, a heart that's shattered
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

Out of those chains those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

I have to say that we should finish it now
Before we weaken 'cause we already know this is wrong
I could give in, sometimes I think that I will
Despite the temptation I try to be very strong
In my reluctance seems a surprise
It's not 'cause I don't want you

But I just
Know I must... hesitate

Because I still have that other girl
In my head
I still have that other girl in my head

There may be ugly rumors that
I have been lying
There may be angry tears, but
They're never worth the crying

That is why
Sometimes I... hesitate

Because I still have that other girl
In my head
I still have that other girl in my head
I still have that other girl in my head

I have to say that we should finish it now
Before we weaken 'cause we already know this is wrong
I could give in, sometimes I think that I will
Despite the temptation I try to be very strong
In my reluctance seems a surprise
It's not 'cause I don't want you

But I just
Know I must... hesitate

Because I still have that other girl
In my head
I still have that other girl in my head

There may be ugly rumors that
I have been lying
There may be angry tears, but
They're never worth the crying

That is why
Sometimes I... hesitate

Because I still have that other girl
In my head
I still have that other girl in my head
I still have that other girl in my head

Such a picture of loveliness
Didn't you notice the resemblance?
Doesn't it look like she could speak?
Those eyes I tried to capture
They are lost to me now forever
They smile for someone else

Funny, how looks can be deceiving
But she's not easily
Painted from memory

You'd think that I would know by now
Those eyes I tried to capture
They are lost to me now forever
They smile for someone else

And so this had to be
Painted from memory

She is gone, and I must accept it
She is lost to me now
But I can't look away just yet though
She smiles for someone else

And so this had to be
Painted from memory

Funny, now I can see
How looks can be deceiving

And so this had to be
Painted from memory

Funny, now I can see
How looks can be deceiving

Such a picture of loveliness
Didn't you notice the resemblance?
Doesn't it look like she could speak?
Those eyes I tried to capture
They are lost to me now forever
They smile for someone else

Funny, how looks can be deceiving
But she's not easily
Painted from memory

You'd think that I would know by now
Those eyes I tried to capture
They are lost to me now forever
They smile for someone else

And so this had to be
Painted from memory

She is gone, and I must accept it
She is lost to me now
But I can't look away just yet though
She smiles for someone else

And so this had to be
Painted from memory

Funny, now I can see
How looks can be deceiving

And so this had to be
Painted from memory

Funny, now I can see
How looks can be deceiving

Any day now i will hear you say "goodbye, my love"
And you'll be on your way
Then my wild beautiful bird, you will have flown, oh
Any day now i'll be all alone, whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa

Any day now, when your restless eyes meet someone new
Oh, to my sad surprise
Then the blue shadows will fall all over town, oh
Any day now love will let me down, whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa

Oh my wild beautiful bird, you will have flown, oh
Any day now i'll be all alone

I know i shouldn't want to keep you
If you don't want to stay-ay
Until you go forever
I'll be holding on for dear life
Holding you this way
Begging you to stay

Any day now when the clock strikes "go"
You'll call it off
And then my tears will flow
Then the blue shadows will fall all over town, oh
Any day now love will let me down cuz you won't be around

Don't fly away, my beautiful bird
Don't, don't fly away

(chorus):
Blue on blue, heartache on heartache
Blue on blue now that we are through
Blue on blue, heartache on heartache
And i find i can't get over losing you

I walk along the street we used to walk
Two by two, lovers pass
And as they're passing by, i could die
'cause you're not here with me
Now the trees are bare
There's sadness in the air
And i'm as blue as i can be

(chorus)

Night after lonely night, we meet in dreams
As i run to your side
You wait with open arms, open arms
That now are closed to me
Through a veil of tears
Your vision disappears
And i'm as blue as i can be

(repeat chorus and fade)

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my make-up
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair now
And wond'ring what dress to wear now
I say a little prayer for you

Forever
and ever
you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever
and ever
we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together
Forever
that's how it must be.
To live without you
Would only mean heart break for me

I run for the bus, dear
While riding I think of us dear
I say a little prayer for you
At work I just take time
and all through my coffee break time
I say a little prayer for you

Forever
and ever
you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever
and ever
we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together
Forever
that's how it must be.
To live without you
Would only mean heart break for me

I say a little prayer for you
I say a little prayer for you

My darling, believe me
For me there is no one but you
Please love me too
(Answer his prayer)
I'm in love with you
(Answer his prayer now baby)
Answer my prayer now baby
(Answer his prayer)
Say you love me too

(Forever
and ever
you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever
and ever
we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together
Forever
that's how it must be.
To live without you
Would only mean heart break for me)

Knowing when to leave
Go while the going is good
Knowing when to leave may be the smartest thing anyone can learn.
Go!
I'm afraid my heart isn't very smart.
Fly while your still have your wings
Knowing when to leave will never let you reach the point of no return.
Fly!
Foolish as it seems, i still have my dreams
So i keep hoping, day after day, as i wait for the man,
And night after night as i wish for a love that can be
Though i'm sure that no one can tell when a wish is a hope,
Somehow i feel there is happiness waiting for me.
When someone walks in your life, you'd just better be sure he's right.
`cause if he's wrong there's are heartaches and tears you must face.
Keep both of your eyes on the door and never let it get out of sight
Just be prepared when the time comes and you went away
Sail when the wind starts to blow
But like a fool i don't know when to leave.

make it easy on yourself
Oh, breaking up is so very hard to doVerse 1:
If you really love him
And there's nothing i can do
Don't try to spare my feelings
Just tell me that we're through 1:
And make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself
'cause breaking up is so very hard to do
Verse 2:And if the way i hold you
Can't compare to his caress
No words of consolation
Will make me miss you less
My darling, if this is goodbye
I just know i'm gonna cry
So run to him
Before you start crying tooOh, baby, it's so hard to do

I'm all through with promises, promises now
I don't know how I got the nerve to walk out
If I shout, remember I feel free
Now I can look at myself and be proud
I'm laughing out loud

Oh, promises, promises
This is where those promises, promises end
I don't pretend that what was wrong can be right
Every night I sleep now, no more lies
Things that I promised myself fell apart
But I found my heart

Oh, promises, their kind of promises, can just destroy a life
Oh, promises, those kind of promises, take all the joy from life
Oh, promises, promises, my kind of promises
Can lead to joy and hope and love
Yes, love!!

Every night I sleep now, no more lies
Things that I promised myself fell apart
But I found my heart

Oh, promises, their kind of promises can just destroy a life
Oh, promises, those kind of promises take all the joy from life
Oh, promises, promises, my kind of promises
Can lead to joy and hope and love
Yes, love!!

Make believe
That you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
In private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
And walk on by
(Don't stop)
And walk on by
(Don't stop)
And walk on by

I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by

Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by
And walk on by
And walk by
(Don't stop)

Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by
(Don't stop)
And walk on by
(Don't stop)
And walk by
(Don't stop)

A chair is still a chair
Even when there's no one sitting there
But a chair is not a house
And a house is not a home
When there's no one there to hold you tight,
And no one there you can kiss good night.

A room is still a room
Even when there's nothing there but gloom;
But a room is not a house,
And a house is not a home
When the two of us are far apart
And one of us has a broken heart.

Now and then i call your name
And suddenly your face appears
But it's just a crazy game
When it ends it ends in tears.

Darling, have a heart,
Don't let one mistake keep us apart.
I'm not meant to live alone. turn this house into a home.
When i climb the stair and turn the key,
Oh, please be there still in love with me.

What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give
Or are we meant to be kind?

And if only fools are kind, Alfie
Then I guess it's wise to be cruel
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie
What will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie
I know there's something much more
Something even non-believers can believe in

I believe in love, Alfie
Without true love we just exist, Alfie
Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie
When you walk let your heart lead the way
And you'll find love any day, Alfie
Alfie . . .

Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near
Just like me, they long to be Close to you
Why do stars start fall down from the sky every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be Close to you
On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they springled moon dust in your hair of gold and starlight in
your eyes of blue
That is why all the boys in town follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be Close to you

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my make-up
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair now
And wond'ring what dress to wear now
I say a little prayer for you

Forever
and ever
you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever
and ever
we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together
Forever
that's how it must be.
To live without you
Would only mean heart break for me

I run for the bus, dear
While riding I think of us dear
I say a little prayer for you
At work I just take time

And I will love you
Forever

we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you

To live without you
Would only mean heart break for me

I say a little prayer for you
I say a little prayer for you

My darling, believe me
For me there is no one but you
Please love me too
(Answer his prayer)
I'm in love with you
(Answer his prayer now baby)
Answer my prayer now baby
(Answer his prayer)
Say you love me too

(Forever

What do you get when you fall in love
A girl with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your troubble
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

What do you get when you kiss a guy
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, he'll never phone you
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

Don't tell me what it's all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains,
those chains that bind you
That is why I'm have here to remind you
Here to remind you, here to remind you
Toh! here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So, far at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

All I did was talk about you

There's just no getting over you, oh no

The look of love
Is in your eyes
A look your smile
Can't disguise
The look of love
It's saying so much more than
just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well, it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you

You've got that look of love
It's on your face
The look that time can't erase
Be mine tonight
Let this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow
And then seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so

All through the night you telephoned
I saw the light blinking red
Beside the cradle
But you don't know how far I've gone
Now I must live with the lie
That I made
But if I call, I know I won't have to say it
You'll hear my voice - something is bound to betray it

But do people living in Toledo
Know that their name hasn't travelled very well?
And does anybody in Ohio
Dream of that Spanish citadel?
But it's no use saying that I love you
And how that girl really didn't mean a thing to me
For if anyone should look into your eyes
It's not forgiveness that they're gonna see

You hear her voice - "How could you do that?"
You hear her voice - "How could you do that?"

So I walked outside in the bright
Sunshine and lovers pass by
Smiling and joking
But they don't know the fool I was
Why should they care what was lost
What was broken?

But if I call, I know I won't have to say it
You'll hear my voice - something is bound to betray it

But do people living in Toledo
Know that their name hasn't travelled very well?
And does anybody in Ohio
Dream of that Spanish citadel?
But it's no use saying that I love you
And how that girl really didn't mean a thing to me
For if anyone should look into your eyes
It's not forgiveness that they're gonna see

But do people living in Toledo
Know that their name hasn't travelled very well?
And does anybody in Ohio
Dream of that Spanish citadel?
But we still have Florence, Alabama
We don't have Paris, and we don't have Rome

Make believe
That you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
In private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
And walk on by
(Don't stop)
And walk on by
(Don't stop)
And walk on by

I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by

Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by
And walk on by
And walk by
(Don't stop)

Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by
(Don't stop)
And walk on by
(Don't stop)
And walk by
(Don't stop)

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone
Lord, we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last till the end of time
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some but for everyone
Lord, we don't need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, lord, if you want to know

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some but for everyone
No, not just for some, oh, but just for everyone

Hey, little girl
Comb your hair, fix your make-up
Soon he will open the door
Don't think because
There's a ring on your finger
You needn't try any more

For wives should always be lovers, too
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you
I'm warning you

Day after day
There are girls at the office
And men will always be men
Don't send him off
With your hair still in curlers
You may not see him again

For wives should always be lovers, too
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you
He's almost here

Hey, little girl
Better wear something pretty
something you'd wear to go to the city
And dim all the lights
Pour the wine, start the music
Time to get ready for love

Oh, time to get ready
Time to get ready
Time to get ready
For love

Nowhere to go
To find the answer
'Cause there is
No one but you to find it

No world to save
Except the one in your heart
There's no love to lose
You'll lose it

No time to lose
No tears to waste
No world to change
No love to make but yours

I know that things may never ever change
Things will stay the same
But I know love is never far away
Always taking aim

I'll never change you
I'll never try to
I'll never understand love
I'll never get it

I'll never ever change you
I'll never try to
'Cause you're my only
Broken valentine
Just like you are

I'll never understand love
I'll never get it
But can't give it up

I'll never ever change you
I'll never try to
You'll be my only
Broken valentine
Just like you are

I'll never understand love
I'll never get it
But can't give it up

I'll never ever change you
I'll never try to
'Cause you're my only
Broken valentine
Just like you are

Dreams will come
And dreams will go
I'll be there beside you

All the time
And everywhere
Standing there beside you

I'll love you
And you'll love me
Hopefully forever

Dreams will come
And dreams will go
I'll be there beside you

Things fade away
Then it's over
That's what they say

I've been hoping for a better day
It's a long time coming, but I wait anyway
'Til the dark clouds have all blown away
And the sun shines again

I keep trying, I've been holding on
Though the days are empty in a world that's gone wrong
Life's a miracle or a foolish tale
I don't know, go ask Shakespeare

Love's the answer, like I said before
It's the one thing needed, maybe now even more
Love's the secret we've been looking for
'Til the sun shines again

So I keep hoping and I'm holding on
There's a cold wind blowing, but I know love is strong
There will come a day when sorrow is gone
And the sun shines again

I keep hoping for a better day
It's a long time coming, but I wait anyway
Life's a miracle or a foolish tale
I don't know, go ask Shakespeare

There was a song
I remember
Said “What the world needs now…”

Where is the love
Where did it go
Who broke our hearts
Cause we need to know
Where are the dreams
That we once knew?
Please explain
Please explain

Where is the love
Where did it go
Who broke our hears
Cause we need to know
Where are the dreams
That we once knew?
Please explain
Please explain

The sun and the moon are crying
The stars and our hearts
Crying
Please explain
The fathers and mothers crying
Sisters and brothers crying
Please explain
Please explain

The sun and the moon are crying
The stars and our hears
Crying

Stop the clock
Make it stop
Where'd it go?
I don't know
Stop the clock
Make it stop
Where is that world
Where did it go?

When I was a young boy
Twelve years old
Growing up in New York city
I could ride the subway by myself
And never, ever be afraid
Where did it go?

And tell me what happened to that world I knew
Is it really gone?
How did we wind up in this place instead
Is it really gone?

Now I have a boy who's twelve
And a girl who's nine
And a son in college
And I worry all the time
Worry 'bout their future
What will it bring?
'Cause nobody is safe these days
Where did it go?

How do we get back to that other place?
There's gotta be a way
How do we un-do a thousand mistakes?
See there's got to be a way

Where is that world
Where did it go?

You see this guy, this guy's in love with you
Yes I'm in love who looks at you the way I do
When you smile I can tell it know each other very well

How can I show you I'm glad I got to know you 'cause
I've heard some talk they say you think I'm fine
This guy's in love and what I'd do to make you mine
Tell me now is it so don't let me be the last to know

My hands are shakin' don't let my heart keep breaking 'cause
I need your love, I want your love
Say you're in love and you'll be my guy, if not I'll just die

Tell me now is it so don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shakin' don't let my heart keep breaking 'cause
I need your love, I want your love
Say you're in love and you'll be my girl, if not I'll just die

What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give
Or are we meant to be kind?

And if only fools are kind, Alfie
Then I guess it's wise to be cruel
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie
What will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie
I know there's something much more
Something even non-believers can believe in

I believe in love, Alfie
Without true love we just exist, Alfie
Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie
When you walk let your heart lead the way
And you'll find love any day, Alfie

Why do birds suddenly apear
Every time you are near?
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born
And the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why
All the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born
And the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust

Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
