Carole King

I feel the earth move
Under my feet.
I feel the sky tumblin' town.
I feel my heart start
To tremblin' whenever you're around.
Ooh, baby, when I see your face,
Mellow as the month of may,
Oh, darlin', I can't stand it
When you look at me that way.
Hey, I feel the earth move
Under my feet.
I feel the sky tumblin' town.
I feel my heart start
To tremblin' whenever you're around.
Ooh, darlin', when you're near me
And you tenderly call my name,
I know that my emotions
Are somethin' I just can't tame.
I just got to have ya, baby.
Uh, uh, uh.
Uh, uh, uh, yeah.
I feel the earth move
Under my feet.
I feel the sky tumblin' town, a-tumblin' down.
I feel the earth move
Under my feet.
I feel the sky tumblin' town, a-tumblin' down.
I just a-lose control
Down to my very soul.
I get hot and cold
All over, all over, all over, all over.
I feel the earth move
Under my feet.
I feel the sky tumblin' town, a-tumblin' down.
I feel the earth move
Under my feet.
I feel the sky tumblin' town, a-tumblin' down,
A-tumblin' down, a-tumblin' down,
A-tumblin' down, a-tumblin' down,
Tumblin' down

So far away, doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're just time away
Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
How I wish I could, but you're so far away
One more song about movin' along the highway
Can't say much of anything that's new
If I coild only work this life out my way
I'd rather spend in bein' close to you.
But you're so far away, doesn't anybody stay in one place any more
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're so far away

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing, or maybe we've stopped trying

*And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it, oh no no no

It used to be so easy living here with you
You where light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool

*Repeat

There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you

But it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it, oh no no no...

Too late baby, it's too late, now darling, it's too late

Sometimes I wonder if I'm
Ever gonna make it home again.
It's so far and out of sight.
I really need someone to talk to
And nobody else
Knows how to comfort me tonight.
Snow is cold; Rain is wet.
Chills my soul right to the marrow.
I won't be happy 'til I see
You alone again.
'Til I'm home again and feelin' right.
Snow is cold; Rain is wet.
Chills my soul right to the marrow.
I won't be happy 'til I see
You alone again.
'Til I'm home again and feelin' right.
'Til I'm home again and feelin' right.
I wanna be home again and feelin' right

You´ve got to get up every morning with a smaile on you´re face
And show the world all the love in you´re heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You´re gonna find, yes you will
That you´re beautiful as you feel.

Waiting at the station with a workday wind a-blowing
I´ve got noting to do but watch the passers-by
Mirrored in their faces I see frustration growing
And they don´t see it showing, why do I?

You´ve got to get up every morning with a smaile on you´re face
And show the world all the love in you´re heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You´re gonna find, yes you will
That you´re beautiful as you feel.

I have often asked myself the reason for the sadness
In a world where tears are just a lullabye
If there´s any answer, maybe love can end the madness
Maybe not, oh but we can only try.

You´ve got to get up every morning with a smaile on you´re face
And show the world all the love in you´re heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You´re gonna find, yes you will
That you´re beautiful as you feel.

Way over yonder is a place that I know
Where I can find shelter from huger and cold
And the sweet tasting good life is easily found
Way over yonder - that's where I'm bound
I know when I get there, the first thing I'll see
Is the sun shining golden - shining rigth down on me
Then trouble's gonna lose me - worry leave me behind
And I'll stand up proudly in true peace of mind
Way over yonder is a place I have seen
In a garden of widsom from some long ago dream
May be tomorrow I'll find my way
To the land where the honey runs in rivers each day
And the sweet tastinggood life is so easily found
Way over yonder - that's where I'm bound
Way over yonder - that's where I'm bound

When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving care

With flowers on the windowsill

From just one man
But if anyone can keep me happy

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sighs?

When the night meets the morning sun?
I'd like to know that your love Is love

So tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Now, Smackwater Jack,
He bought a shotgun
'Cause he was in the mood
For a little confrontation.
He just a-let it all hang loose;
He didn't think about the noose.
He couldn't take no more abuse
So he shot down the congregation.
You can't talk to a man
With a shotgun in his hand.
Now, Big Jim the chief
Stood for law and order.
He called for the guard to come
And surround the border.
Now, from his bulldog mouth,
As he led the posse south,
Came the cry, "We got to ride
To clean up the streets
For our wives and our daughters!"
You can't talk to a man
When he don't wanna understand.
No, no, no, no, no.
The account of the capture
Wasn't in the papers,
But you know, they hanged ol' Smack right then
Instead of later.
You know, the people were quite pleased
'Cause the outlaw had been seized
And on the whole, it was a very good year
For the undertaker.
You know, you know, you can't talk to a man
With a shotgun in his hand.
A shotgun in his hand.
Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun.
Yeah, Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun.
Oh, Smackwater Jack, yeah.
Talkin' 'bout Smackwater Jack, yeah.
Talkin' 'bout a-Smackwater Jack, now.
Talkin' 'bout Smack.
Talkin' 'bout Jack.
Smackwater Jack, yeah

My life has been a tapestry
Of rich and royal hue;
An everlasting vision
Of the ever-changing view;
A wond'rous woven magic
In bits of blue and gold;
A tapestry to feel and see;
Impossible to hold.
Once amid the soft silver
Sadness in the sky,
There came a man of fortune;
A drifter passing by.
He wore a torn and tattered cloth
Around his leathered hide
And a coat of many colors;
Yellow, green, on either side.
He moved with some uncertainty
As if he didn't know
Just what he was there for
Or where he ought to go.
Once he reached for something
Golden hanging from a tree
And his hand came down emp-ty.
Soon within my tapestry,
Along the rutted road,
He sat down on a river rock
And turned into a toad.
It seemed that he had fallen
Into someone's wicked spell
And I wept to see him suffer,
Though I didn't know him well.
As I watched in sorrow,
There suddenly appeared
A figure gray and ghostly
Beneath a flowing beard.
In times of deepest darkness
I've seen him dressed in black.
Now my tapestry's unraveling;
He's come to take me back.
He's come to take me back

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But your love was the key to peace my mind

Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel
like
A natural woman

When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
Cause if I make you happy I don't need no more

Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel
like
A natural woman

Oh, baby, what you've done to me
You make me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You make me fell so alive
Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel
like
A natural woman

CITY STREETS
by Carole King

River wind is icy
Chills run through my bones
Tides of life are ebbing out
Between the cobblestones
The streets are on fire
With the burning sunrise
And over the water I look in vain
For love in someone's eyes

CHORUS:
Oh, City streets
The stories that they tell
Oh, City streets
They can be heaven, they can be hell

Winter colored morning
Gray and dirty brown
Reflecting the mood I'm in
Despair is all around
I long for sweet oblivion
To take me from my pain
Maybe bring me dreams of hope and faith
So, I can break this chain

CHORUS

Lovers with their arms entwined
Silhouettes against the light
A warm bed is waiting as they head home
After staying up all night
For them the city is magic
That's all they've ever known
I wish I could find the magic
But I'm scared and I'm feeling so alone

CHORUS

Oh, City streets, the stories thay have known
iOh City Streets, City Streets, The City Streets

So you think you got the weight
Of the world on your shoulders
And it's getting too hard to bear
You feel like you're getting older and older
And nobody seems to care
It isn't what you do, it's who you know
Ain't that the way it is any more
Makes you keep on wondering
Don't it make you wonder now
What are you living for

Well, it's a sweet life, baby, don't you think maybe
You can give it another try
It's your life, baby, but I'm not ready to say goodbye
We got a sweet life, baby, why don't you take a good look around
It's a sweet life, baby, don't let it get you down

Y'say you feel snowed under by circumstances
You can make of it what you will
You can look at the downside or take your chances
And try to make it uphill
Now you can't keep living inside your head
In a prison cell all your own
Just let yourself go, get your body out of bed
You don't have to do it all alone

Well it's a sweet life, baby, don't you think maybe
You can give it another try
It's your life, baby, but I'm not ready to say goodbye
Y'know this is real life, baby,
Why don't you take another look around
It's a sweet life, baby, don't let it get you down

It's a sweet life, baby, don't you think maybe

You can stop and taste the honey
It's a sweet life, baby, it's all about the sugar
It ain't about money

It's a sweet life, baby, don't you think maybe
You can give it another try
It's a sweet life, baby, and I'm not ready to say goodbye
It's a sweet life, baby
It's a sweet life, baby
It's a sweet life, baby

Everything's lost in illusion
I keep moving, but I can't seem to get out of the shadows
Out into the light of day
Everyone's out in the afternoon
Turning their faces up to the sun like a spotlight
What's wrong with me, I don't want to play

You're my obsession, I just can't get you out of my mind
I look around and I see all the signs
They say danger

I know you're gonna take me down to the darkness
Down to the darkness
Oh, but I want you to
I know you're gonna take me down to the darkness
Down to the darkness
Oh, but you know I want you to
Oh, yes I want you to

I'm afraid of the dark
Oh, but I'm attracted to it
I'm afraid of the dark
I want to run away, but I can't do it

Through my hazy confusion
I close my eyes, but your image is indelibly burned there
Seared into my memory
Now as I stand on the edge of the precipice
Looking down into the black abyss
I know I'll be lost with just one kiss
But I want to be

Even as the tongues of fire lick at me from below
No turning back, I just can't let go of the danger

I know you're gonna take me down
I know you're gonna take me down to the darkness
Oh, but I want you to
I know you're gonna take me down to the darkness
Oh, down to the darkness
Oh, but you know I want you to
Oh, yes I want you to
I want you to take me down to the darkness
Down, down, down to the darkness

I want to see the lovelight in your eyes
I want to see the longing in your eyes
When you look at me
I want it to be the way it used to be
I want to see the lovelight in your eyes

I want to feel the passion in your touch
I want to feel the burning love I need so much
When I reach for you
I want you to hold me like you used to do
I want to see the lovelight in your eyes
I want to see the lovelight in your eyes
I want to see the lovelight in your eyes
I want to see the lovelight in your eyes

You used to walk with me on the street of dreams
I remember you telling me
You said nothing is what is seems
Now as I walk alone, cold in the morning after
Thoughts of you in someone else's arms
In someone else's bed
Explode inside my head

I want to see the lovelight in your eyes
I want to see the fire back in your eyes
When you look at me
I want it to be the way it used to be
I want to see the lovelight in your eyes
I want to see the lovelight in your eyes
I want to see the lovelight in your eyes
I want to see the lovelight in your eyes

A candle's burning in my window
And it's burning just for you
I had some big plans for tomorrow
But you had something else to do
You came to me right out of nowhere
You gave me shelter in your eyes
And though you let the walls come caving in
When the cold wind blew
I can't stop thinking about you

You let me walk into your dream world
You gave me things I couldn't steal
And in the wee hours of the morning
I still believe the dream was real
Why did you show me all your colors
When you knew that I was blind
Still I keep looking for the reasons
That'll see me through
I can't stop thinking about you

I can't stop thinking about you
I can't stop thinking about you

The night is dark, indeed
Ah, but I can't hide
There are voices in my house
But nobody's inside
I'll hit the town tonight
But even if I do
The party lights won't shine tonight
'Cause I can't stop thinking about you

You used to be as a child
Full of hope and wonder
Hey, now, do you remember those days
Your mind was free and running wild
Now the sound of thunder
Has got you trapped in a corner hiding out
You're running in a rat maze

You better think about the legacy
That you want to leave behind
It's all getting burnt-out, used-up
Bought and sold to the bottom line
That ain't the way it's gotta be
You can leave a better world than you find
You can look down, turn aside, run away
But you can't put it out of your mind
'Cause it's your legacy

Don't it make your heart bleed
Passing through the meadowland
Wheel of fortune jackpot is what it looks like
That's okay, go on, run your motor at high speed
Rev it up to five grand
Shades on, top down
But as you barrel down the turnpike

You better think about the legacy
That you're gonna leave behind
Things are getting wasted out of hand
People stealing each other blind
Hey, that ain't the way it oughta be
You can leave a better world than you find
You can look down, turn around, run away
But you can't put it out of your mind
'Cause it's your legacy

It isn't easy when you think your voice
Doesn't matter to anyone
Maybe you believe there's nothing you can do
But if you just do nothing, you've made a choice
To perpetuate the destruction
Why don't you stand up, dig in
When it all comes down, it's gotta begin with you
It's you
It's your legacy
Baby, whatcha gonna do about it

You better think about the legacy
That you want to leave behind
Things are getting wasted, out-of-hand, burnt-out, used-up
Sold to the bottom line
Hey, that ain't the way it's gotta be
Oh, don't you want to leave a better world than you find
You can look down, turn aside, run away and hide
But you can't put it out of your mind
'Cause it's your legacy
Oh, your legacy

Look here
It's gotta start somewhere, Jack
If you don't go forward, you're gonna go back
Hey, you better get a plan of attack
'Cause that's the only way that you're gonna keep track
Of your legacy

Ain't that the way
Whenever you think you've got it made
Everything changes on you
Ain't that the way
Nothing is stranger than the truth
And how it comes to you
Ain't that the way

In this life we are living
Moment to moment, day by day
And through all our tribulations
We reach out for each other
And if we're lucky, someone cares enough to say

Ain't that the way
Whenever you think you're in control
Everything turns around
Ain't that the way
One day you're flying
Next day you're on the ground
Ain't that the way

So it goes
You never know what's gonna happen
You never know, but something always does
And sometimes in quiet desperation
You realize it's never gonna be the way it was

Ain't that the way
Whenever you think you've got it all
There's a wall in front of you
Ain't that the way
You gotta go through it, it's life
And it's all okay
Ain't that the way

The flashing neon excites my blood
Breathing in the carnival air
That old street of dreams has got my head spinning
Being there at the pleasure fair

I'm no stranger to danger
He's been my lifelong friend
I can feel the pulse of the city
Who knows how it will end

Midnight flyer, higher and higher
And the sun won't rise till five
And I don't care if I'm spending my money
At least I feel alive
Midnight flyer

Suburban village has gone to sleep
But I'm just waking up
The night holds a promise I intend to keep
To fill my loving cup

I know it's a long shot
But tonight I'm gonna take a chance
I can feel the rhythm of the city
It's my turn to dance

Midnight flyer, higher and higher
And the sun won't rise till five
I don't care if I'm spending my money
At least I feel alive

Midnight flyer, I'm on fire
Nothin's gonna stand in my way
I'm gonna keep on moving to the beat of the city
Until the break of day

Midnight flyer, I'm on fire
Midnight flyer, I'm on fire
Nothin's gonna stand in my way
Midnight flyer

The lantern moon hung high and gold
In the cold November sky
The locust sang a midnight song
And starlight wind was a sigh
And you moved me with no hand
Like the moon moves the sea
What I wouldn't give for the love that used to be

The icy roofs below me now
Shelter all the souls within
But oh, nothing shelters me
From the thought of what could have been
Why does laughter remembered
Always lead me to tears
I've got the life I want, but I don't have what I need

Homeless heart
Why do you do this to yourself
Homeless heart
You ought to leave the dust on the shelf
Homeless heart
There must be someone else in the dark
With a homeless, homeless, homeless heart

I ache in a place so deep
I can't hide, even in my sleep
Slow torture
If you walked in on me right now
I'd love you so hard
You'd wonder how
You let me go
Why did you let me go

The telephone, just sitting there
Brings your number to my mind
Another piece of yesterday
That I should be leaving behind
Will I make it to the morning
Without hearing your voice
Or will I surrender to my

Homeless heart
Why do you do this to yourself
Homeless heart
You ought to leave the dust on the shelf
Homeless heart
There must be someone else in the dark
With a homeless, homeless, homeless heart

SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES IN YOU
by Gerry Goffin & Carole King

When there's a dark storm your horizon
And you think you can't get through it
Just put your hand in my hand
And I'll show you how to do it

When your future looks uncertain
You can count on me to be there
And when your heart and soul are hurting
Just look and you'll see me there

Just follow ehre I lead
I'll give you what you need
A love that's always true
Is some who believes in you

It's time to come alive
your moment has arrived
I'll bring out the best in you
We can have it all
No, we will never fall
Looking down from our celestial view

So when you're searching for that rainbow
I will help you find it
And when a mountain stands before you
I will help you climb it

Just follow where I lead
I'll give you what you need
And I'll tell you something else
You'll start believing in yourself
It's an easy thing to do
When you've got someone who
believes in you

Someone who believes
Someone who believes
I'm someone who believes
You've got someone who
believes in you

Funny how I fell more myself with you
Than anyvody else that I ever knew
I hear it in your voice, see it in your face
You've become the memory I can't erase

You could have been anyone at all
An old friend calling out of the blue
I'm so glad it was you

Wasn't in the plan not that I could see
Suddenly a miracle came to me
Safe within your arms I can say what's true
Nothing in the world I would keep from you

you could have been anyone at all
A stranger falling out of the blue
I'm so glad it was you

Words can hurt you if you let them
People say them an forget them
Words can promise
Words can lie
But your words make me feel like
I can fly

You could have been anyone at all
An old friend calling out of the blue
I'm so glad it was you

Tonight you're mine completely
오늘 밤 당신은 완전히 내 사람이에요.
You give your love so sweetly
당신의 사랑은 내게 너무 달콤해요

Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
오늘밤 당신 두 눈 속에서 사랑의 빛이 반짝이네요.
But, will you love me tomorrow
하지만 당신 내일도 날 사랑해 주실건가요?

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
이건 영원한 보물인가요
아니면 순간적인 쾌락인건가요?
Can I believe the magic of yoru sigh
Will you still love me tomorrow
내가 마법같은 당신의 한숨을 믿어야 될까요.
당신 내일도 날 사랑해 주실건가요?

Tonight the words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
아무 말도 나누지 않는 오늘밤,
내가 유일한 사랑이라고 당신은 말하네요
But, will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun
하지만 밤이 지나
아침 해가 떠오를때면 내 마음이 아프겠죠?
I'd like to know that your love Is love
I can be sure of
난 당신 사랑이
내가 확신할수 있는 사랑인지 알고 싶어요.
그러니 지금 말해주세요.

So, tell me now and I wont ask again
그러면 다시는 묻지 않겠어요.
Will you still love me tomorrow
당신 내일도 날 사랑해 주실건가요?
Will you still love me tomorrow
당신 내일도 날 사랑해 주실건가요?
Will you still love me tomorrow
당신 내일도 날 사랑해 주실건가요?

There was trouble in my mind tonight
Something inside didn't feel quite right
Then I saw your face in the moonlight and I was right beside you
Don't need words that we used to use
It goes deeper then the words we choose
You cant loose I wanna spread the news u got a love inside you
Some days it's hard to know what your feeling
I've been down that road before

I can't stop believing
Love makes the world go round
As long as your a part of me
Nothing's gonna take me down
Ohhh

Last winter when the snow fall hit
Cold city it was hard to commit
You were out there looking for the perfect fit and I was right beside you
Nothing real comes over night
You weren't sure if it felt right
But sometimes a love can move your life if you let it guide you

Baby you've got to take love where you can find it
Just walk right through that door

I can't stop believing
Love makes the world go round
As long as I'm a part of you nothing's gonna take you down

Love makes the world
Can't stop believing

Gonna make it happen together
We are strong now
Watch us fly

I can't stop believing
Love makes the world go round
As long as your a part of me nothing's gonna take me down

Love makes the world
Can't stop believing

Words and Music by
Carole King, Carole Bayer Sager & Babyface

The sun is shining but not on me
Another lonely day
What's the use in making plans
When nothing's gonna go my way
But there's a voice down deep inside me telling me what to say

[Chorus]
Don't you know that you can do anything
You can take anything and make it your own
Don't you know that you can do anything
And you don't have to do it alone

Searching for the girl I was
When I was sure and strong
When everything was easier
And I could do no wrong
If I could only believe in myself
I know I could find a way

[Chorus]

Sorry tears in my eyes
Got me down in confusion and doubt
Suddenly I realize
I'm no different than anyone working it out
We're all working it out

[Chorus]

The sun is shining but not on me
Another lonely day
What's the use in making plans
When nothing's gonna go my way
But there's a voice down deep inside me telling me what to say

[Chorus]
Don't you know that you can do anything
You can take anything and make it your own
Don't you know that you can do anything
And you don't have to do it alone

Searching for the girl I was
When I was sure and strong
When everything was easier
And I could do no wrong
If I could only believe in myself
I know I could find a way

[Chorus]

Sorry tears in my eyes
Got me down in confusion and doubt
Suddenly I realize
I'm no different than anyone working it out
We're all working it out

I figured it out
I was high and low and everything in between
I was wicked and wild, baby, you know what I mean
Till there was you, yeah, you

Something went wrong
I made a deal with the devil for an empty IOU
Been to Hell and back, but an angel
was looking through
It was you, yeah, you - it's all because of you

[Chorus]
You are the reason
You are the reason I wake up every day
And sleep through the night
You are the reason, the reason

In the middle of the night
I'm going down 'cause I adore you
I want to floor you

I'm giving it up
No more running around spinning my wheel
You came out of my dream and made it real
I know what I feel
It's you - it's all because of you

[Chorus]

In the middle of the night
I'm going down because I want you
I want to touch you
I want to floor you
You are the reason, baby

When I met you, I let you know
I didn't want to go the way I'd gone before
That door was closed--I was just looking for fun

And you were the right one, you got it
So we could just play around
We wouldn't get serious or mysterious
When it's done it would just be done

I wasn't gonna fall in love, no, I wasn't gonna fall
I wasn't gonna fall in love, till I fell in love with you

Well, you got down, saw through me
You read me like a book
You took me over and over again
And you turned my head around

I found I didn't know what I thought I knew
I was caught up in you so fast
Emotional, love potion-al
I want to make every moment last

I wasn't gonna fall in love, no, I wasn't gonna fall
I wasn't gonna fall in love, till I fell in love with you

Never know what's gonna, never know what's gonna come along
To change your mind, change your way
Play the game you said you'd never play
Never thought that we, never thought you and I would be together
Well I thought I could, but I guess you can't
You can't, you can't ever
Never say never

I wasn't gonna fall in love, no, I wasn't gonna fall
I wasn't gonna fall in love, till I fell in love with you

Words and Music by
Carole King, Gary Burr, Paul Brady & Mark Hudson

I don't know if it's hot in Texas
And I don't know if it's cold in Hell
I don't know if God is watching
I just know that I love you

People say "bad man's gonna getcha"
Trade my shoes for a simple soul
Throw away your burnt sienna
Cause I just know that I love you

Sticks and stones get gone in a hurry
Jack say "Jill, you never looked so fine"
Dancing on Boardwalk, what me worry?
As long as I know you're mine, all mine
all mine, all mine
you're mine


[Chorus]
I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know, I don't know

And if everybody had someone to care about
What a world, what a world
What a wonderful, wonderful world this would be

I don't care who's in the World Series
Or who does what in their own bedroom
News is blues and it doesn't really matter
I just know that, I just know that I love you

[Chorus]

I just know that I love you

When my friends told me you had someone new
I didn't believe a single word was true
I showed them all I had a faith in you
I just kept on saying

Oh, no, not my baby
Oh, no, not my sweet baby
You're not like those other guys
Who lead you on and tell you lies

My mama told me when rumors spread
There's truth somewhere and I should use my head
But I didn't listen to what she said
I kept right on saying

Oh, no, not my baby
Oh, no, not my sweet baby
You're not like those other boys
Who play with hearts like they were toys

Well, you might have had a last minute fling
But I am sure it didn't mean a thing
'Cause yesterday you gave me your ring
And I'm so glad that I kept on saying

(* Possibly * You and I we got a special thing
We go together just like summer and spring
They're all jealous of the love you bring
And I'm gonna keep on saying)


Oh, no, not my baby
Oh, no, not my sweet baby
You're not like those other guys
Who lead you on and tell you lies

Oh, no, not my baby
Oh, no, not my sweet baby
Oh, no, not my baby
Oh, no, not my sweet baby

Words and Music by
Carole King, Carole Bayer Sager & David Foster

Do you know that you know me like nobody else
All of my secrets and lies
Do you know that you made me believe in myself
Made me believe I could fly
All the things that you say
That I wait for each day
You're almost too good to be true

[Chorus]
It could have been anyone, oh, anyone
A stranger out of the blue
It could have been anyone, oh anyone
That I gave my heart up to
But it was you

Well you just never know when
the moment will come
When love is about to begin
Something about someone reaching out
And letting someone in
And I'm glad I was there
When out of thin air
We both had nothing to do

[Chorus]

One day we'll find out
Why you were sent to me
Now we're together
It must be the way it was meant to be

Yesterday was a perfect day
Living in make-believe, perfect together
In your eyes I was number one
And you were all the world to me forever,
ever and ever
But you have another life
You're going to somewhere I don't belong

[Chorus]
I can't think about Monday
I can't think about watching you walk away
I only want to be with you,

I just want to be with you
I can't think about anything else but Sunday
and the touch of you
I only want to be with you,
I can't think about Monday without you

In an empty room
Waiting for a reason why
Trying, crying, dying
I know that it's over
But I don't want to hear you say goodbye

[Chorus]

Why do we isolate each other
All the walls we build between us
Make it so hard to be together

How can we tear at one another
When the thing we have in common
Is an uncommon love

Walls can fall, tears can mend
So why can't we reach across the line
And touch each other

Here on two sides of the truth
We've a middle ground in common
We have an uncommon love

Time can heal, hearts can mend
So why can't we reach across the line
And touch each other

When will we ever learn
That the thing we have in common
Is an uncommon love
We have an uncommon love
An uncommon love

You don't have to wear the weight of the
world on your shoulders
Don't you know I'll be there for you, always, always
You can tell me anything, and you know I'll understand

When you're down and out, and your soul is bare
You just turn around - you will find me there

You keep on giving everyone
so much more than your share
So many things you do in so many ways, always
But you need someone you can hold on to

When you're down and out, I will always care
You just turn around - you will find me there

When it's all gone wrong, it's falling down on you
Lean on me, I'll be strong
I will keep you safe, keep you warm
When you're down and out, I will always care
You just turn around - you will find me there

I will take your hand, I will dry your tears
I will comfort you when your hope has disappeared

When you're down and out, I will always care
You just turn around - you will find me right there

When you're down and out and you're in despair
You just turn around - you will find me there

When you're down and out, I will be right there
You just turn around, you will find me
You will find me there

Seems so hard
All I want to do is let down my guard
Laugh like a child and play out in the yard
I want to feel safe again

I don't know
What happened to you, where did you go
Wish I could not feel the cold wind blow
I want to feel safe again

If only I could believe everything will soon be
like all the fairy tales I've read
But I feel so lost and naked
And I wake up with the shape of a dream
In my head

Seems so hard
All I want to do is let down my guard
Get through just one more day unscarred
I want to feel safe again
I want to feel safe again
Safe again with you

THIS TIME
by Carole King

I go through the motions of being with people
When deep in my soul, I want to be where you are
I know we speak every night
But words only go so far, I know

It feels like an ocean of time we're apart
I know that I've said it before
But this time when I come home
I will stay with you
This time's the last time that I'm gonna go

Just close your eyes and imagine me home again
It isn't so far away
Soon I'll be back, and you'll never be alone again
This time I mean to stay

I promise you this time I'll do whatever it takes
To stay right by your side
I would do anything, I would give you everything
'cause you are everything to me

But until then
Gotta keep our emotions under control
It won't be easy to do
'cause all I want to do is kiss you, touch you,
hold you, love you, promise, I promise
I promise you, I'll stay with you, but 'til then

Just close your eyes, and imagine me home again
I mean every word I say
Soon I'll be back, and you'll never be alone again
This time I mean to stay

Just close your eyes, and imagine me home again
Soon I will be on my way (never gonna go)
This time I mean it, you'll never be alone again
This time I mean to stay

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord it made me feel so tired

Before the day I met you my life was so unkind
You're the key to my peace of mind

Cause you make me feel you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it

Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
And if I make you happy I
don't need to do more

Cause you make me feel you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

Oh baby what you've done to me
You made me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You know you make me feel so alive

I feel so alive

you make me feel like a natural woman
you make me feel like a natural woman

I believe in you

you make me feel
you make me feel so much love

I only wanted to play
I thought what he didn't know wouldn't hurt him anyway
But he found out and someone else gave him her hand to hold
And suddenly I find myself out in the cold

He trusted me all the time
I thought I could see another man and he would still be mine
Well yesterday I had a good thing worth more than gold
Today he's got a truer love and I'm out in the cold

I had a love warmer than fire, but I listened to my desire
Now yesterday's dreams are tomorrow's heart aches
I'm payin' for my mistakes, now girl, take a tip from one who knows
If you open up a new door, you may find the old one's closed

So be true to your good man
Take a lesson from the story I have told
Or you just might get a left now out in the cold
You just might get a left now out in the cold

Don't let yourself get left now out in the cold
Don't let yourself get a left now out in the cold

Now, Smackwater Jack,
He bought a shotgun
'Cause he was in the mood
For a little confrontation.
He just a-let it all hang loose;
He didn't think about the noose.
He couldn't take no more abuse
So he shot down the congregation.

You can't talk to a man
With a shotgun in his hand.

Now, Big Jim the chief
Stood for law and order.
He called for the guard to come
And surround the border.
Now, from his bulldog mouth,
As he led the posse south,
Came the cry, "We got to ride
To clean up the streets
For our wives and our daughters!"

You can't talk to a man
When he don't wanna understand.
No, no, no, no, no.

The account of the capture
Wasn't in the papers,
But you know, they hanged ol' Smack right then
Instead of later.
You know, the people were quite pleased
'Cause the outlaw had been seized
And on the whole, it was a very good year
For the undertaker.

You know, you know, you can't talk to a man
With a shotgun in his hand.
A shotgun in his hand.
Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun.
Yeah, Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun.
Oh, Smackwater Jack, yeah.
Talkin' 'bout Smackwater Jack, yeah.
Talkin' 'bout a-Smackwater Jack, now.
Talkin' 'bout Smack.
Talkin' 'bout Jack.
Smackwater Jack, yeah.

Now and forever you are a part of me
And the memory cuts like a knife
Didn?t we find the ecstasy
Didn?t we share the daylight
When you walked into my life

Now and forever I?ll remember
All the promises still unbroken
And think about all the words between us
That never needed to be spoken

We had a moment
Just one moment
That will last beyond the dream
Beyond the lifetime
We are the lucky ones
Some people never get to do
Oh we got to do
Now and forever I will always think of you

Didn?t we come together
Didn?t we live together
Didn?t we cry together
Didn?t we play together
Didn?t we love together
And together we lit up our world

I miss the tears
I miss the laughter
I miss the day we met
And all that followed after
Sometimes I wish I could always be with you
The way we used to do
(oh)
Now and forever I will always think of you
Now and forever I will always be with you
(oh)

When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space

On the roof it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me

Let me tell you now
When I come home feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I get away from the hustling crowds
And all that rat race noise down in the street
Up on the roof

On the roof's the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Oh, let's go up on the roof

At night the stars put on a show for free
And darling, you can share it all with me
I keep a-telling you
Right smack dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble-proof
Up on the roof

So if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two, up on the roof
Up on the roof, everything is allright
Up on the roof, oh, come on, baby
Up on the roof
Up on the roof

Now, Smackwater Jack,

You've got to get up every morning With a smile on your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
The people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes you will
That you're beautiful as you feel

Waiting at the station with a workday wind a-blowing
I've got nothing to do but watch the passers-by
Mirrored in their faces I see frustration growing
And they don't see it showing, why do I?

You've got to get up every morning With a smile on your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
The people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes you will
That you're beautiful as you feel

I have often asked myself for reason for sadness
In a world where tears are just a lullabye
If there's any answer, maybe love can end the madness
Maybe not, oh, but we can only try

You've got to get up every morning With a smile in your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
The people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes you will
That you're beautiful as you feel

Everybody's got a little child inside
Still looking for love
Everything we do is in search of it
Everything we say or think of
And every time we reach for somebody
We're reaching out for love
Everybody's looking for love
Everybody is looking for love

When someone says a kind word
It's music to your ears
Yet somewhere inside you're wondering
If you really deserve to let go of your fears
You want to make a connection, you're looking for a way
To escape the loneliness and the tears
That you've had for years
Everybody's looking for love
Everybody is looking for love
But you know you gotta

Hold out, don't settle for less
Hold out for the real thing, hold out for the real thing
Hold out, you deserve the best
Hold out for the real thing, hold out for the real thing
Hold out for love

Maybe you're looking for security
But without a doubt
You're gonna miss the love you wish you had
'Cause love is what life is all about

Well, if it don't feel right, then don't do it
If the night is dark, don't sell your soul to get through it
Listen to your heart, it'll tell you how to do it
Love will be worth the wait
Everybody's looking for love
Everybody is looking for love
But you know you gotta

Hold out, don't settle for less
Hold out for the real thing, hold out for the real thing
Hold out, you deserve the best
Hold out for the real thing, hold out for the real thing
Hold out for love

Tonight you're mine
Completely.
You give your love
So sweetly.
Tonight the li-i-ight
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 belie-e-eve
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
(When the night..)
Meets the mor-
(Meets the mor..)
-Ning sun.

I'd like to know
That your love
Is love I can
Be sure of.
So tell me no-o-w
And I won't ask again.
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Lift me, won't you lift me above the old routine;
Make it nice, play it clean jazzman.

When the jazzman's testifyin' a faithless man believes
he can sing you into paradise or bring you to your knees.
It's a gospel kind of feelin', a touch of Georgia slide,
a song of pure revival and a style that's sanctified.

Jazzman take my blues away; make my pain
the same as yours with every change you play.
Jazzman, oh jazzman.

When the jazzman's signifyin', and the band is windin' low.
It's the late night side of morning in the darkness of his soul.
He can fill a room with sadness as he fills his horn with tears.
He can cry like a fallen angel when risin' time is near.

Jazzman take my blues away; make my pain
the same as yours with every change you play.
Oh lift me, won't you lift me with ev'ry turn around.
Play it sweetly, take me down, oh jazzman.

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing or maybe we've just stopped trying

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
Oh no, no, no, no (no, no, no, no)

It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy and I feel like a fool

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it (we can't make it)
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
Oh no, no

There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too
Still, I'm glad for what we had and how I once loved you

But it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it (we can't make it now)
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
Oh no, no, no, no, no

It's too late, baby
It's too late, now darling
It's too late

And take your soul if you let them
Oh but don't you let them

And you know whenever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter spring summer or fall

LOCOMOTION
by Gerry Goffin and Carole King

Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now
Come on baby do the locomotion
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
Come on baby do the locomotion

My little baby sister can do it with ease
It's easier than learning your ABC's
So come on, come on do the locomotion with me

You gotta swing your hips now
Come on baby jump up jump back
Oh well, I think you've got the knack

Now that you can do it let's make a chain now
Come on baby do the locomotion
Chug-a-chug a motion like a railroad train now
Come on baby do the locomotion

Do it nice and easy now and don't lose control
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul
Come on, come on do the locomotion with me

Move around the floor in a locomotion
Come on baby do the locomotion
Do it holdin' hands if you get the notion
Come on baby do the locomotion

There's never been a dance that's so easy to do
It even makes you happy when you're feeling blue
Come on, come on do the locomotion with me

When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing nothing is going right

Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even

Soon you'll hear me
knocking at your door
You just call out my name
And you know whenever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter spring summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
yes i will you do
now Ain't it good to know that
you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh but don't you let them
You just call out my name
And you know whenever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter spring summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
yes i will
You've got a friend
You've got a friend
Ain't it good to know
You've got a friend
Ain't it good to know
Ain't it good to know
Ain't it good to know
You've got a friend
You've got a friend
You've got a friend
You've got a friend

Baby, you're so frazzled
Spinnin' around in a busby swirl
With all that razzle dazzle
I know at heart you want a down home girl

Ah you know I wanna take to the spaceship races
Watch you do a few laps around the sun
But if you don't go in for far out places
I'll take you home with me
When the day is done

Baby, you're so scattered
Your span of attention is shrinkin' fast
Your brain's been battered
By all the disappointments of the recent past

Ah you know I wanna take to the spaceship races
Watch you do a few laps around the sun
But if you don't go in for far out places
I'll take you home with me

Didn't I see you walkin' on Main Street
Lookin' in windows, waitin' by turnstyles
Thinkin' of things you thought you'd like to buy

Livin' off dreams, stored up in film cans
Lookin' at screens just waitin' your turn while
You looked up and saw a rocket in the sky

Ah you know I wanna take to the spaceship races
Watch you do a few laps around the sun
But if you don't go in for far out places
I'll take you home with me
When the day is done
When the day is done

Your toy balloon has sailed in the sky
But now it must fall to the ground
Now your sad eyes reveal
Just how badly you feel
?Cause there is no easy way down

The view from the cliffs must have been exciting
And up to the peaks you were bound
Now you?re stranded alone
And the path is unknown
And there is no easy way down

No, it isn?t very easy
When you?re left on your own
No, it isn?t very easy
When each road you take
Is one more mistake
And there?s no one to break your fall
And lead you back home

We all like to climb to the heights, I know
Where a (our?) fantasy world can be found
But you must know in the end
When it?s time to descend
There is no easy way down
You know you?re gonna find
There is no easy way down

Although you see the world
Different than me
Sometimes I can touch upon
The wonders that you see

And all the new colours
And pictures you've designed
Oh yes sweet darlin'
So glad you are a chi-ild of mine
Child of mine, chi-ild of mine
Oh yes sweet darlin'
So glad you are a chi-ild o-of mine

You don't need directions
You know which way to go
And I don't wanna hold you back
I just wanna watch you grow

You're the one who taught me-ee
You don't have to loo-ook behind
Oh yes sweet darlin'
So glad you are a child of mine
Child of mine, child of mine
Oh yes sweet darlin'
So glad you are a chi-ild of mine

Nobody's gonna kill your dreams
Or tell you how to li-ive your life
There'll always be people
To make it hard for a while
But you'll change their head
When they see you-ou smi-i-i-ile

The times you were born in
May not have been the best
But you can make the times to come
Better than the rest

I know you will be honest
If you can't a-always be kind
Oh yes sweet darlin'
So glad you are a child of mine
Child of mine, chi-ild of mine
Oh yes sweet darlin'
So glad you are a child of mine

Child of mine, chi-ild of mine
Oh yes sweet darlin'
So glad you are a chi-ild of mine

I think I'm goin' back
To the things I learned so well in my youth,
I think I'm returning to
The days when I was young enough to know the truth

Now there are no games
To only pass the time
No more colouring books,
No christmas bells to chime
But thinking young and growing older is no sin
And I can play the game of life to win

I can recall a time,
When I wasn't afraid to reach out to a friend
And now I think I've got
A lot more than a skipping rope to lift

Now there's more to do
Than watch my sailboat glide
Then everyday can be my magic carpet ride
And I can play hide and seek with my fears,
Ane live my life instead of counting my years

Let everyone debate the true reality,
I'd rather see the world the way it used to be
A little bit of freedom, all we're left
So catch me if you can
I'm goin' back

I can recall,
I can remember

I can recall,
I can remember

I can recall,
I can remember

Down the road of peace, he-ee was waiting
Yes he was waitin' and you know me-ee-ee
I have had my fill of hesitating
And I always knew it had to be

To lo-ove, to love, to love, to lo-ove
All he needs, is opportunity
To lo-ove, to love, to love, to lo-ove
Baby don't you make, a fool of me

I never will forget our first encounter
And this I'm proud to say, that t'was alri-ight
And I was so glad that I had found him
As ready as I-I was, that night

To lo-ove, to love, to love, to lo-ove
All you need, is opportunity
To lo-ove, to love, to love, to lo-ove
Baby don't you make, a fool of me

There are those of us too cool for passion
They're the ones that it could do some goo-ood
And there are those who say it's out of fashion
They're the ones who only wish they could

To lo-ove, to love, to love, to lo-ove
All he needs, is opportunity
To lo-ove, to love, to love, to lo-ove
Baby don't you make, a fool of me

Oh baby don't you make, a fool of me
Baby don't you make, a fool of me-ee
Baby don't you make, a fool of me
Oh, baby don't you make, a fool of me

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE
by Carole King & Toni Stern

Yes, I know you've loved and lost
And you've been figurin' up the cost
of your last, your saddest goodbye

I'm gonna stay right here with you
So if you're looking for somethin' new
All you have to do is choose
What Have you got to lose

Yes it shows you need a change
And you've been feelin' very strange 'bout the
things that made you feel so good before

And I've been feelin' blue
'Cause I'm so much in love with you
And all you'd have to do is try something new
What have you got to lose

Na dwhen you're ready, let me know
Come to me, come, let your rivwer flow
When you're ready, aw give me a sign
it's time you stepped back out in the sunshine

Wouldn't you like to wake up and find
me every morning on your mind
Oh, come on, don't be shy
Come on, you don't have to hide

Coem on and get me
What have you got to lose
Come on and get me
What have you got to lose

EVENTUALLY
by Gerry Goffin & Carole King

Was a time I remember
Hope flashed and went dim
When assassins just happened
To do the right people in
And love was a slogan coincidently
And they told us they'd work it out
eventually

In the swing of changing times
A man cried out for his
And every politician said
He was telling us like it is
Yes, they walked down the angry streets
To have themselves a look- see
And they told us they'd work it out
eventually

I see the choking cities
I see them tearing up this earth
I see people feeling
That their lives have little worth
And I know that the future
Depends on you and me
I hope we can work it out
eventually

I hope we can work it out
eventually
Hey maybe someday
eventually

RASPBERRY JAM
By Carole King & Toni Stern

Pieces of toast
raspberry jam
Laid out on the breakfast table
It's time to begin again

Way down in the valley
Where the rivers flow
Lives a girl named Sally
Who loves to watch things grow

Now Sally has five children
And a good old man
And they all sit down together
For their toast and
their raspberry jam

Oh, how they love
pieces of toast raspberry jam
Laid out on the breakfast table
It's time to begin again

Long ago we had our dreams
And that was all that we needed
Then all at once we got to see
The cycles we repeated

Baby, can't you be real
I said, baby, can't you be real

Anyone can look into your eyes
And tell you what you're missin'
It's been told to you many times before
But you refuse to listen

Baby, can't you be real
Oh, baby, can't you be real
I said, baby, can't you be real

Here you are again
Tellin' me you're sorry, baby
Tellin' me you want to come on back home
Where you belong

There you go again,
Lyin' & a-alibi-in'
Singin' that same old worn-out song
Here it comes now

I can't hear you no more
I've heard it all before
You ain't a-reachin' me
No how, no way
No time until doomsday
I can't hear you no more
I can't hear you no more

You walked out on me once too often, baby
And I can't take no more of your jive
And that's the truth
I ain't about to let you run me in to the ground
I'm not gonna throw away my youth
No, not hardly

I can't hear you no more
I've heard it all before
You ain't a-reachin' me
No how, no way
No time until doomsday
I can't hear you no more
I can't hear you no more

You ain't a-reachin' me
No how, no way
No time until doomsday
I can't hear you no more
I can't hear you no more

You got to speak up louder
You got to speak up louder
'Cause I can't hear you no more
I can't hear you no more

Just a little bit louder
Just a little bit louder
Just a little bit louder
Just a little bit louder

SWEET SWEETHEART
by Gerry Goffin & Carole King


CHORUS:
You're a sweet sweetheart
You've been a real good friend
You're around when I'm down
to pick me up again
Tho' it could never been said
To my faults you're blind
You overlook the bad and
you keep all the good in mind

Now there have been times
When we couldn't get on
And tho't I'd have to admit
the feeling was gone
But you just closed your mind
to all the seeds of doubt
And somehow you found a way
to make it all work out

(CHORUS)

Now when you come home
at the close of the day
You gotta a way of lookin'
that sends message my way
What this message means
Any old fool could see
And the thing that make me feel so well
is you meant it just for me

(CHORUS)

When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space

On the roof it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me

Let me tell you now
When I come home feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I get away from the hustling crowds
And all that rat race noise down in the street
Up on the roof

On the roof's the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Oh, let's go up on the roof

At night the stars put on a show for free
And darling, you can share it all with me
I keep a-telling you
Right smack dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble-proof
Up on the roof

So if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two, up on the roof
Up on the roof, everything is allright
Up on the roof, oh, come on, baby
Up on the roof
Up on the roof

Oh, brother, brother, brother

I know you've been layin back a long time

But I love you like no other

Oh, brother of mine

I've been watching everything you do

And I've been wishing only good for you

All you've got to do is just want it to

And it's gonna - it's gonna come to you

Oh, brother, brother, brother

I know you've been hangin' on a long time

But I love you like no other

Oh, brother of mine

You have always been so good to me

And though you didn't always talk to me

There wasn't much my lovin' eyes could not see

and I don't believe you need all your misery

Oh, brother, brother, brother

I know you've been hangin' on a long time

You know I love you like no other

Oh, brother, brother, brother

Talkin' about you, brother

It's gonna take some time this time
To get myself in shape.
I really fell out of line this time,
I really missed the gate.
The birds on the telephone like, (next time)
Are cryin' out to me, (next time)
And I won't be so blind next time,
And I'll find some harmony.

But it's going to take some time this time,
And I can't make demands.
But, like the young trees in the winter time,
I'll learn how to bend.
After all the tears we've spent,
How could we make amends?
So, it's one more round for experience
And I'm on the road again,
And it's going to take some time this time!

But it's going to take some time this time,
No matter what I've planned.
And, like the young trees in the winter time,
I'll learn how to bend.
After all the tears we've spent,
How could we make amends?
So, it's one more round for experience
And I'm on the road again,
And it's going to take some time this time!

1. Sometimes you win sometimes you lose,
and sometimes the blues just get a hold of you
just when you though you had made it.
All around the block people will talk,
but I want to give it all that I've got
I just don't want, I don't want to waste it.

Chorus
Talkin' 'bout sweet seasons on my mind.
Sure does appeal to me.
You know you can get there easily,
just like a sailboat sailin' on the sea.

2. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose,
and most times you choose between the two
wonderin', wonderin' if you have made it.
But I'll have some kids and make my plans,
and I'll watch the seasons running away
and I'll build me a life in the open, a life in the country.

Chorus
add
Talkin' 'bout sweet seasons, talkin' 'bout sweet, sweet, sweet seasons
Talkin' 'bout ...... (repeat and fade)

All you have to do is touch my hand
to show me you understand
and something happens to me
that's some kind of wonderful

anytime my little world is blue
I just have to look at you
and everything seems to be
some kind of wonderful

I know I can't express
this feeling of tenderness
is so much I wanna say
but the right words just don't come my way

I just know when I?m in your embrace
this world is a happy place
and something happens to me
that's some kind of wonderful

somekind of wonderful
somekind of wonderful, wonderful
somekind of wonderful

Surely you know how I stand on the question of my loving you
Haven't I proved it in so many ways?
Surely you can tell by the way I kiss your lips that I want you
More surely than my words can say

I see you stamd and accuse me of no longer wanting you
Misunderstanding what others have seen
Surely you won't let idle people with nothing else to rely on
Tear down all our hopes and our dreams

Tell me, does the rain fall? (surely, surely)
ANd does the summer always follow spring?
How does a turtle go? (slowly, surely)
That's how my love grows, surely, surely, surely

Darling, if your head misleads you
Just listen to your heart; it knows I need you
Just as surely as the sun is gonna rise
Just as surely as the birds are gonna sing
Just as surely as everything is part of everything
I'm a part of you
Surely you know I'm a part of you
And surely you know that I love you
I love you

Meet me on the highway
Meet me on the road
AS long as you've got to travel
Don't you ant someone to help you carry your load?

First time out is a heady feeling
White clouds under my feet
Sailin' along like a south wind
Over fields of whispering wheat
Thinkin' alone on a Thursday morning
Of peace and love and war
I still don't have any answer
But I don't get high anymore

Meet me on the highway
Meet me on the road
As long as you've got to travel
Don't you want someone to help you carry your load?

SOme folks are forever movin'
SOme folks gotta be still
DOn't let it get you; there's joy in either
So do what you will
Everyone knows it's the same old feeling
Worlds below the sea
Just you and me and easy
Is where I want to be

Meet me on the highway
Meet me on the road
As long as you've got to travel
Don't you want someone to help you carry your load?

Music is playing inside my head

Over and over and over again

My friend, there's no end to the music...

Ah, summer is over

But the music keeps playing

And won't let the cold get me down

Pictures are forming inside my brain

Soon with the colors they'll rain together and grow

Then don't you know, don't you know there'll be music...

Ah, it's not always easy

But the music keeps playing

And won't let the world get me down.

Whispering wind came uninvited
Looking for somewhere else to go
Here is a lamp I've left unlighted
Aren't you someone I should know?

Memory's flame is soon ignited
Lighting my lamp with amber glow
Quietly friends are reunited
Singing a song of long ago, la la la...

Cry, cry for someone
Who just can't be happy
And be glad you can feel enough to cry

Younger than always, time descended
Bringing me brand new seeds to sow
Now that they've been a long time planted
What must I do to help them grow?

If it had been as I intended
I wouldn't have the peace I know
Loving the people I've befriended
Singin' a song of long ago, la la la...

As it began, so I will end it
Singing a song of long ago
Loving the people I've befriended
And singin' a song of long, long, long ago

We've been knowing each other
For many a year, it's true
And I can't think of anyone else
Can make me feel as good as you
Yeah, you make my day
A little bit brighter in every way

I'm so glad to have you
In this old troubled time
When true love and understanding, child
AARe so hard to find
Yes, you make my day
A little bit brighter every day

SOme people live in darkness
Their whole life through
I just know that I'd have been one of them
If it hadn't been for you

Now, sometimes I feel afraid
AS we all tend to do
But I think of the loving good times we've had
And I know we're gonna make it through
Cause you make my day
A little bit brighter in every way

You've been my life to me
My very soul and my heart
But lately something's come over you
And it's tearing me apart

CHORUS:
Darlin' I feel you growing away from me
More and more each day
Whatever you want me to be I'll be
If it keeps you from growing away from me

Even whe you say you love me
The feeling's no longer there
I know there's somebody else
And it's more than I can bear

CHORUS

Believe me, I would let you go if I could
But I don't know if it's worse thing being lonely
Than having you here in body only

It's no use pretending
When the love you used to feel is gone
Yet even though I'm losing you
I can't help tryin' to hold on

CHORUS

I feel you
Growing away from me

If anyone asks you how I am
Just say I'm doin' fine
If you will do that for me
I'll do the same for you sometime

ANd if anyone asks you where I've gone
Just say I'm down the line
I don't want my friends to see me like this
Maybe some other time

Too much rain fallin'
Too much rain fallin'
There's just been too much rain down on me

One day I'm gonna understand
The way that my heart works
And then I'm gonna work it out
ASO that I won't get hurt

But if anyone asks you where I've gone
Oh, don't say where I am
Just say you saw me and I'm doin' fine
Cause I'm doin' the best I can

Too much rain fallin'
Too much rain fallin'
There's just been too much rain fallin' down on me

I've been feelin' down in Atlanta
Immobile in Alabam
I'd rather be in traction
Than to be here where I am
Oh you Georgia red clay
ANd green Virginia pines
I've got to make it home somehow
Before I lose my mind

CHORUS:
So, won't you carry me back to California
I've been on the road too long
Take me to the West Coast, daddy
And let me be where I belong

Hey now, Philly, you street city
Been down by the railroad track
I know that you can be a sweet city
But I won't soon be back
Haystack towns and somkestown cities
Are nothin' I want to see
My own house on high ground
Is the only place I wnat to be

(CHORUS)

SO MANY WAYS
by Carole King

So many ways
So many ways to show you love someone
So many ways to show someone you care

We have so much in common
ALthough we come from places worlds apart
When you reach out and touch my hand
Without a word you say I love you
You're beautiful
You are in my heart

So many ways
So many ways to show you love someone
So many ways to show someone you care

Since I've been spending all my time with you
You've taught me something new every day
And I just want to say
The music comes from you and me
And it's plain to see that we both know

So many ways
So many ways to show you love someone
So many ways to show someone you care

Daughter of light
You're a welcome sight
To a weary soul
Seeing you just lifts me out of the cold
It's only temporary
You have to go away
But you're beautiful
And you never fail to make my day

Daughter of light
You smile and all the sadness leaves my heart
It's an easy course for sailing that you chart
But it's only temporary
You have to go away
You're too beautiful
And you know I'd never ask you to stay

Riding on the beach at sunset
Dreaming of the world that waits for you
That's where my mind's eye sees you
In a world that frees you
To do anything that you want to do

Daughter of light
Though you can only be a sometime friend
You restore my faith in love again
And that's not temporary
Even though you go away
You're too beautiful
Much more than words can say

HIGH OUT OF TIME
by Gerry Goffin & Carole King

High out of time
I wish the years away
Look into your eyes
And you look into mine
All my sorrows disappear
When I'm high out of time

High out of time
Is a place I like to be
I'm a part of you
And you're a part of me
And I can hold you near
When I'm high out of time

No use wondering where the years have gone
Time waits for no one, we all have to go on
But every now and then I look up an old friend
And come home to someplace I used to belong

High out of time
The world becomes so new
Horizons That we've crossed
I cross again with you
Traveling through the years
When I'm high out of time

As I bask in the glow of a just-lit fire
Feeling the warmth as the flames grow higher
I think it's true that nothing
is really new under the sun
Watching a new love grow
from old love's embers
Yesterday's gone but today remembers
Doesn't it seem to come down the same for everyone
(Chorus)
Only love is real
Everything else illusion
Adding to the confusion of the way we connive
At being alive
Tracing a line till we can define
The thing that allows us to feel
Only love is real
Childhood dreams like muddy waters
Flowing through me to my son and daughters
Everything I ever thought is confirmed as truth to me
Even as I see the way that I want to go now
Still I had wished I had known what I know now
Maybe I could have spared you
Giving your youth to me
(Chorus)

Only love is real
Everything else illusion
Adding to the confusion of the way we connive
At being alive
Tracing a line till we can define
The thing that allows us to feel
Only love is real

Every time I've needed you
You've been there for me
But now I feel a boundary has been drawn
I can see from all you do
That you still care for me
I know the feeling hasn't gone

But there's a space between
A place that I can't go
Unless you step across and meet me halfway
We've been friends for much too long
And the feeling's much too strong to let it go astray
Reach out and make the space between us go away

I know a little bit of space between two friends
Can sometimes do them good
But once in a while we need to touch
The way that people should
Love can tie you down, I know
'Cause you know I've been there
But I've been working on a way to love
And still be free to care

You love your lady
And I know just what you're thinking
Was a time I used to be just where you are
But I've since found my freedom
And I've finally let it sink in
The distance really isn't very far

There's a space between us
A place that I can't go
Unless you step across and meet me halfway
We've been friends for much too long
And the feeling's much too strong to let it go astray
Reach out and make the space between us go away

Reach out, I know that you can hear me
Reach out, I need to feel you near me

I'd like to know you better
There's so much about you I can see
There's a love as good as gold in you
I can feel it when I'm holding you
I want to be your friend, your lover

I'd like to know you better
Being with you feels so good to me
In a world of distraught humanity
You have brought me to my sanity

How lucky we are
We seem to get along so well
Whether or not we'll stay that way
It's much too early to tell

But I'd like to know you better
Though I already feel as if I do
Meeting you has been so good for me
And if only temporarily
I want to be your friend, your lover

Yes, I'd like to know you better

AMBROSIA
by Carole King & David Palmer

In the fields of sweet Ambrosia I've been told
You can sit down by the river
And watch yourself unfold
You can drink right from the river
And purify your soul

CHORUS:
Oh, Ambrosia, Pour it sweet and slow
I need to be replenished, I need to overflow
Let my senses know your power
Let your holy mix distill
Oh, Ambrosia, Let my spirit drink its fill

Oh, Ive been like those people
Who need pain to feel alive
But now I'm kind of like a child
Who's been slowly reconciled
To waiting on the wisdom that
He knows will soon arrive

In the hills above Ambrosia I have seen
A lovely place of mystery with
meadows emerald green
And the colors of Ambrosia
Are as real as any dream
Just as real as any dream

CHORUS

STILL HERE THINKING OF YOU
by Gerry Goffin & Carole King

I ahve tried to untangled
All my thoughs from every angle
To know the one I loved the best
To dream of happiness and make that
dream come true
And I'm still here thinking of you
Yes I'm still here thinking of you

The city streets are colder
And I'm jsut a little bit older
My love has grown somehow
I can feel it now much more
than you ever knew
And I'm still here thinking of you
Yes I'm still here thinking of you

This road keeps winding
And I wake up finding
Somehow I've lost my way again
Someway I'd like to get through
SOmeday I'd like to get to
The road that's straight beyond the bend

I have tried to unravel
The paths we've both had to travel
And now that I have come to see
How much you meant to me
We might get to see a better view
Yes,I'm still here thinking of you
Still here thinking of you

I'm still here thinking of you
Yes I'm still here thinking of you

We've been putting each other
Through a hard time
And it's a mighty good feeling to
Know we're gonna work it out
It's gonna work out
Yeah, it's gonna work out fine

Take a look at the way it's going now
Makes you want to give a sigh of relief
You know the last thing I ever
Wanted to do
Was to give you any grief
I guess it was a situation
That was bound to come up someday
But our feeling for each other won out
And I'm oh so glad to say

We've been putting each other
Through a hard time
And it's a mighty good feeling to
Know we're gonna work it out
It's gonna work out
Yeah, it's gonna work out fine

Even the best of relationships
Run the risk of going awry
There's a lot two people who care
about each other
Can do to make each other cry
Ain't it funny how it took a reunion
To help us to really see
With each other is the only way we can ever be

We've been putting each other
Through a hard time
And it's a mighty good feeling to
Know we're gonna work it out
It's gonna work out
Yeah, it's gonna work out fine

I'm really Rosie
And I'm Rosie Real
You better believe me
I'm a great big deal!

BELIEVE ME!

I'm a star from afar
Off the golden coast
Beat the drum! Make that toast!
To Rosie the Most!

BELIEVE ME!

I can sing
Tea for Two and Two for Tea
I can act
To be or not to be
I can tap
Across the Tappan Zee
Hey, can't you see?
I'm terrific at everything!
No star shines so bright as me--Rosie!

BELIEVE ME!

I'm Really Rosie
I'm Rosie Real
I'm Really Rosie

BELIEVE ME!

If this house isn't empty, I'll eat
All of you!

Prologue:
There was once a boy named Pierre
Who only would say, I don't care!
Read his story, my friend, for you'll find
At the end that a suitable
Moral lies there

(Chapter I)

One day his mother said
When Pierre climbed out of bed
-Good morning, darling boy, you are my only joy
Pierre said-I don't care!
-What would you like to eat?
-I don't care!
-Some lovely cream of wheat?
-I don't care!
-Don't sit backwards in your chair
-I don't care!
-Or pour syrup on your hair
-I don't care!
-You are acting like a clown
-I don't care!
-And we have to go to town
-I don't care!
-Don't you want to come, my dear?
-I don't care!
-Would you rather stay right here?
-I don't care!
So his mother left him there

(Chapter II)

His father said-Get off your head
Or I will march you up to bed!
Pierre said-I don't care!
-I would think that you could see--
-I don't care!
-Your head is where your feet should be!
-I don't care!
-If you keep standing upside down--
-I don't care!
-We'll never get to town
-I don't care!
-If only you would say, I care
-I don't care!
-I'd let you fold the folding chair
-I don't care!
So his parents left him there
They didn't take him anywhere

(Chapter III)

Now as the night began to fall
A hungry lion paid a call
He looked Pierre right in the eye
And asked him if he'd like to die
Pierre said-I don't care!
-I can eat you, don't you see?
-I don't care!
-And you will be inside of me
-I don't care!
-Then you will never have to bother--
-I don't care!
-With a mother and a father
-I don't care!
-Is that all you have to say?
-I don't care!
-Then I'll eat you, if I may
-I don't care!
So the lion ate Pierre

(Chapter IV)

Arriving home at six o'clock
His parents had a dreadful shock!
They found the lion sick in bed and cried
-Pierre is surely dead!
They pulled the lion by the hair
They hit him with the folding chair
His mother asked-Where is Pierre?
The lion answered-I don't care!
His father said-Pierre's in there!

(Chapter V)

They rushed the lion into town
The doctor shook him up and down
And when the lion gave a roar
Pierre fell out upon the floor
He rubbed his eyes and scratched his head
And laughed because he wasn't dead
His mother cried and held him tight
His father asked-Are you allright?
Pierre said-I am feeling fine
Please take me home, it's half past nine

The lion said-If you would care
To climb on me, I'll take you there
Then everyone looked at Pierre
Who shouted-Yes, indeed, I care!
The lion took them home to rest
And stayed on as a weekend guest
The moral of Pierre is: CARE!

When everybody
Screams and yells
Who calms them down?
Who rings their bells?
When everybody screams and yells
The enchanted one
That's me
When everybody screams and yells,
There's nothing to do!
There's nothing to see!
Who dreams up a place they'd like to be?
The enchanted one
That's me
It takes personality
A lot of personality
To make them see it my way
It takes personality
More personality
To turn twelve boring hours
Into a fascinating day!
I CAN DO IT!
That's a fact
I CAN DO IT!
Don't you see?
AND I'LL DO IT
ALL FOR FREE!

Do you know?
Can you guess
Who I simply have to be?
STOP SCREAMING AND YELLING
SCREAMING AND YELLING
SCREAMING AND YELLING
SCREAMING AND YELLING
AND I'LL TELL YOU ALREADY!
The enchanted one
That's me

Today our dear friend
Chicken Soup
This very ordinary day
Boiled up a pot of
Chicken soup
And swallowed it away
A-lack! A-day!
O-Woe! Oy-Vey!
He swallowed it away!
Now listen to what I'm gonna say
A little bone, a bitty thing
No bigger than my pinky-
He swallowed hot
From out that pot
In quicker than a winky
He gulped that soup
Let out a whoop!
And fell down croaking
On the stoop
And he Choked!
And he SAGGED!
And he SMOTHERED!
And he GAGGED!
And he let out a SCREAM!
And he let out a MOAN!
Then he cried
'Cause he died
From choking on a bone
On such an ordinary day
Like today
A-lack! A-day!
O-Woe! Oy-Vey!
On an ordinary day
Chicken soup passed away!

January
In January it's so nice
While slipping on the sliding ice
To sip hot chicken soup with rice
Sipping once, sipping twice
Sipping chicken soup with rice

February
In February it will be
My snowman's anniversary
With cake for him and soup for me!
Happy once, happy twice
Happy chicken soup with rice

March
In March the wind blows down the door
And spills my soup upon the floor
It laps it up and roars for more
Blowing once, blowing twice
Blowing chicken soup with rice

April
In April I will go away
To far off Spain or old Bombay
And dream about hot soup all day
Oh, my, oh, once, oh, my, oh, twice
Oh, my, oh, chicken soup with rice

May
In May I truly think it best
To be a robin lightly dressed
Concocting soup inside my nest
Mix it once, mix it twice
Mix that chicken soup with rice

June
In June I saw a charming group
Of roses all begin to droop
I pepped them up with chicken soup!
Sprinkle once, sprinkle twice
Sprinkle chicken soup with rice

July
In July I'll take a peep
Into the cool and fishy deep
Where chicken soup is selling cheap
Selling once, selling twice
Selling chicken soup with rice

August
In August it will be so hot
I will become a cooking pot
Cooking soup of course-why not?
Cooking once, cooking twice
Cooking chicken soup with rice

September
In September, for a while (In September, for a while)
I will ride a crocodile (I will ride a crocodile)
Down the chicken soup-y Nile
Paddle once, paddle twice
Paddle chicken soup with rice

October
In October I'll be host
To witches, goblins and a ghost
I'll serve them chicken soup on toast
Whoopy once, whoopy twice
Whoopy chicken soup with rice

November
In November's gusty gale I will flop my flippy tail
And spout hot soup-I'll be a whale!
Spouting once, spouting twice
Spouting chicken soup with rice

December
In December I will be
A baubled, bangled Christmas tree
With soup bowls draped all over me
Merry once, merry twice
Merry chicken soup with rice

I told you once, I told you twice
All seasons of the year are nice
For eating chicken soup with rice
(Chicken soup, chicken soup with rice!)

In dreams, it seems I always see
Avenue P as it ought to be
In a four-star movie directed by me
And starring, of course, yours truly
Rosie

In this fabulous movie you're all gonna see
An entirely different Avenue P
Imagine me in a jungle gown
And Avenue P a jungle town
With King Kong swinging out of a tree
And carrying me over that jungly Avenue P
Right

You don't have to sit with your face in a droop on the stoop
'Cause your mama the boss says you better not cross that old Avenue P
In a jungle you are free, ta-dah
The tom-tom beats, the tiger carouses
The jungle creeps over the red brick houses

And for chillers and thrillers, I train giant gorillas
To chase mamas and papas, clippety-cloppety
Thumping their breasts and roaring, "Get off of my property"
No one's allowed who says "maybe" or "no"
They gotta get out, they just gotta go
Right

In dreams, it seems I always see
Avenue P as it ought to be
A terrific place for people like me, you'll see
I'll make it that way someday
Avenue P as it ought to be
Avenue P as it ought to be
Avenue P as it ought to be
Avenue P as it ought to be
Avenue P as it ought to be
Avenue P as it ought to be

Here's where I heard that beat
Here's where I tapped that tap
With my natural rhythm feet
In my simple humble neighborhood
On my simple humble street

Here's where the dreams I had
Were crowded on a stoop
Were pecked and pushed and hustled
Just like chickens in a coop
Life wasn't always neat
In my simple humble neighborhood
On my simple humble street

Here's where I learned the rules
Of Rosie's way
Of how to play
A magic game
That changed the same
Old sheepy bleat
In my simple humble neighborhood
On my simple humble street

Here's where I made up folks
Who came to visit me
Not just ordinary folks
Coming unexpectedly

TALENT SCOUTS! PRODUCERS! DIRECTORS!
GLAMOUR BOYS!

In other words
THE HOY-POLOYS!
THE GRAND ELITE!

To make them green with envy
In my simple humble neighborhood
On my simple humble street

Here's where it all began
Here's where I heard that tune
Here's where I sang of sailing
In a carnival balloon
Life was so darn sweet
In my simple humble neighborhood
On my simple humble street

The awful truth
Concerning me
The creature-feature mystery
Is simply this
In the worst way
I wanna play
MRS. DRACULA

The challenge is tough
But I know I've got the stuff
To be just spectacular
Can't you see it in lights
ROSIE REALLY MEETS DRACULA!
So close your eyes
And visualize
Me in a cape
And fangs in my head
Loving a guy who's mostly dead
(I don't see him often
'Cause he sleeps in a coffin)
Nothing could be zanier
Than our lives in Transylvania
We're fabulous one day
And rotten the next
Variety says
THOSE TWO MUST BE HEXED!

At six in the morning
When my sweetie is yawning
I feed all the bats
A mush made of rats
Then I tidy the tomb
Cover all the trap doors
And wash any old blood stains
Offa the floors

DON'T YOU SEE
This juicy part
Was meant for me!
I got the looks
I got the style
I got the bloodshot eyes
And a ghastly smile
It's the dream of my life
To play DRACULA'S WIFE!
The reviews will all rave
This movie's a whopper
A super show-stopper
And no one can top her
Not Rosie!
Dear Academy,
Take note
I should get the Oscar vote
If I don't
I'll bite your throat!
