I have something to tell you
And I know it won't be easy I've been thinking these past few days It might be time to leave You're like a stranger Then you're a lover Never the same Always hard to believe (*) I'm caught between goodbye and I love you Never knowing quite where I stand I'm caught between goodbye and I love you Falling both ways nowhere to land So constantly stranded I can't understant it (understand) This double life you've handed me Is like the devil and the deep blue sea If we go on much longer If my doubts grow any stronger Then I may have to let you go If only to survive Give me a reason Why should I stay here? (stay) I've tried so hard Just to keep love alive Repeat (*) |

Oh, there's no place like
Home for the holidays, 'Cause no matter how far away you roam When you long for the sunshine Of a friendly gaze For the holidays, you can't be Home, sweet home I met a man who lives in Tennessee And he was headin' for Pennsylvania And some home made pumpkin pie From Pennsylvania folks a travelin' down To Dixie's sunny shore From Atlantic to Pacific, gee The traffic is terrific Oh there's no place like home For the holidays, 'cause no matter How far away you roam If you want To be happy in a million ways For the holidays, you can't be Home, sweet home |

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 That is why all the girls in town Follow you all around Just like me, they long to be Close to you Just like me, they long to be Close to you * repeat ** repeat |

Darlin' can't you please see through me. Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you. You taught me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing. You came out in front and I was hiding. But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together. Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding. I love you in a place where there's no space or time. I love you for in my life you are a friend of time. And when my life is over, remember when we were together.

The moon that rose now descended
And the love once shared now had ended And soon the day would come And when the day had come The light that fell at dawn was cold The warmth of you had gone A taste of loneliness Cut through the earliness And oh the winds sang of you Softly they said All of my favorite dreams were dead Leaving a cloud of sadness in my head And though I'm buried in A sad song of the morning wind I know the day would bring Another song for me to sing But when the day had come The light that fell at dawn was cold The warmth of you had gone Go-o-o-ne |

Somewhere this life isn't crazy But I've traveled the world far and wide And I say they're wrongDon't sell me Stories that music's a lady It's not when the singer's alone At the end of a song At the end of a song There's no one After the last note is played Only the memory stays Then even that fades away And there's nothing so hard As convincing your heart That you should start singing againYou told me Nothing could change perfect lovers But like ev'ry promise you made It broke before longIt's lonely Falling away from each other But we've come to the last of your words And the end of a song |

Can't you see his music brings her Crystal sleepAs her heavy eyelids fall He's taking her to where the dolls Rule the worldAnd in that land of make believe Is where he'll leave her sleeping Softly warm In a crystal lullabyHe's weaving her a paper castle Where dancing clowns with tassels made of fur Welcome her into their world That lives inside the dreams Of every little girlShe's guarded by a brave tin soldier Sitting on her shoulder Taken there In a crystal lullabySometimes when I listen to The velvet song that fills the summer afternoon Something deep within me sighs And wishes for the peaceful skies Of long ago That wrapped my cares In silver air And carried them away Leaving me ...

We were buggin' each other while we sat out the light We both popped our clutch when the light turned green You should have heard the wine from my screamin' machine I flew past La Brea, down to Crescent Heights And all the Jag could see were my six tail lights He passed me at Doheny and I started to swerve But I pulled her out and there we were at Deadman's Curve Deadman's Curve is no place to play Deadman's Curve Well, the last thing I remember Doc. I started to swerve, and then I saw the Jag slide into the curb I know I'll never forget that horrible sight I found out for myself, that everyone was right Won't come back from Deadman's Curve Deadman's Curve is no place to play Deadman's Curve you best keep away Deadman's Curve I can hear them say Won't come back from Deadman's Curve |

Desperado
Why don't you come to your senses You been out riding fences For so long now Oh you're a hard one But I know that you've got your reasons These things that are pleasing you Can hurt you somehow Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy She'll beat you If she's able The queen of hearts Is always your best bet Now it seems to me some fine things Have been laid upon your table But you only want the ones That you can't get Desperado Oh you ain't gettin' no younger You pain and your hunger They're driving you home Freedom Ah freedom That's just some people talking You're prisoners walking Through this world all alone Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine It's hard to tell the night time From the day You're losing all your highs and lows Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away Desperado Why don't you come to your senses Come down from your fences And open the gate It may be raining But there's a rainbow above you You better let somebody love you You better let somebody love you Before it's too late |

Love, don't be afraid to love and get love returned
Don't be afraid to tell everyone you're learned (*) That love is a groovy thing It knows how to make you sing Ant it fills up your life with sunshine and joy Don't be afraid to give all you've got to give One of these days you'll find that's the way to live And living is what we all were put on this earth to do So come on and live and be happy Don't be afraid to love Repeat (*) Oh, live and be happy Don't be afraid to love Don't be afraid to love Don't be afraid to love Don't be afraid to love |

Druscilla Penny, what a name!
Are you sure you didn’t make it up yourself? You’re very pretty, yes you are Buth with all the junk you wear, it’s hard to tell Man, you must work hard to get your hair to look like that I don’t need a horoscope to tell me where you’re at Your family’s probably given up on you Since you began to follow groups of long-haired rock'n rollers I can hear your mother crying for her daughter Ah, ah, ah .... Ah, ah, ah .... Druscilla Penny, what a girl! Where’s the purpose to the crazy life you lead? It doens’t matter after all You’re so sure instant love is all you need I’ve seen your face at least a thousand times You’re always standing there behind the stages at the concerts Waiting for an offer to be with someone after Druscilla Penny, how’s your head? Do you ever wake up lonely in the night? It isn’t easy for a girl when she can’t decide If love is wrong or right I hope I live to see a change Could you ever really love? Ever really care? Ever really get it together? no no |

Eve I can't believe
That you could mean What you just said Think of what you are How very far you are from being real Look into the mirror Nothing there to see Eve I can't believe You'd really leave him ( ) Notice how her image saddens How lonely she's become Just once I'd like to see her happy Before the winter comes Eve, I wouldn't lie The open sky is not your home Wide as it may be Reality is here among the stones Thorns among the roses Add to what is real Eve, you are a rose Among the thorns here ( ) I wish her only good times Before the winter comes |

Lying under barren skies
The light escaping From my eyes Below the moon Walking down the avenue I' followed by The afterglow The velvet rose of evening grows Weary to be home again Among the faces Of my friends The day is done Candles burning by the sea Are waiting for me Patiently I wish the same For you |

Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways We've got a lifetime to share So much to say and as we go from day to day I'll feel you close to me But time alone will tell Let's take a lifetime to say "I knew you well" For only time will tell us so And love may grow for all we know, (wa-ah) Love, look at the two of us Strangers in many ways Let's take a lifetime to say "I knew you well" For only time will tell us so And love may grow for all we know, (wa-ah) |

Love is but a song we sing
And fear's the way we die You can make the mountains sing Or make the angels cry Though the dove is on the wing You need not know why (*) Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Love one another right now Some will come and some will go This will surely pass When the one who left us here Returns for us at last We are but a moment's sunlight Fading in the grass Repeat (*) If you hear the song we sing, You will understand You hold the key to love and fear It's in your trembling hand One key unlocks them both, you know It's at your command Repeat (*) Love one another right now Love one another right now |

I'll say goodbye to love
No one ever cared If I should live or die Time and time again the change for love has passed me by And all I know of love is how to live without it I just can't seem to find it So I've my mind up i must live my life alone And though it's not the easy way I guess I've always know I'd say goodbye to love There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine Surely time will lose these bitter memories And I'll find that there is someone to believe in And to live for something I could live for All the years of useless search finally reached an end Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend From this day love is forgotten I'll go on as best I can What lies in the future is a mystery to us all No one can predict the whee l of fortune as it falls There may come a time when i will see that I've been wrong But for now this is my song And it's goodbye to love I'll say goodbye to love |

I'll say goodbye to love
No one ever cared if I should live or die Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by And all I know of love is how to live without it I just can't seem to find it. So I've made my mind up I must live my life alone And though it's not the easy way I guess I've always known I'd say goodbye to love. There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine Surely time will lose these bitter memories And I'll find that there is someone to believe in And to live for something I could live for. All the years of useless search Have finally reached an end Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend From this day love is forgotten I'll go on as best I can. What lies in the future is a mystery to us all No one can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls There may come a time when I will see that I've been wrong But for now this is my song. And it's goodbye to love I'll say goodbye to love. |

I was born on a farm out in Iowa
A flaming youth I was bound I would fly away I packed my grip and I grabbed my saxophone Can't read notes but I play anything by ear I made up tunes on the sounds that I used to hear When I'd start to play folks to say Sounds a little Goofus to me Cornfed chords appeal to me I like rustic harmony Hold a note and change the key Hey but that's Goofus Not according to the rules That you learn in music schools But the folks just dance like fools They sure go for Goofus Got a job but I just couldn't keep it long The leader said that I played all the music wrong So I stepped out with an outfit of my own Got together a new kind of orchestra And we all played just the same Goofus harmony And I must admit we made a hit Goofus has been lucky for me Got together a new kind of orchestra And we all played just the same Goofus harmony And I must admit we made a hit Goofus has been lucky for me Goofus has been lucky for me Goofus has been lucky for me |

I've played the game of love before
Too young to know How hard the fall could be I never though I'd try again Somehow you brought The gambler out in me You can deal me in this time around Even though the odds are high we'll play them down You may be a chance I need to take And the hand I'm holdin says it's no mistake Happy is the way I'm feelin And I know it comes from being with you All at once my life is changin And I know it's cause I'm fallin in love with you Fallin in love with you Fallin in love Fallin in love with you If this is luck then let it ride If it's the starts They're surely on my side They're surely on my side I've never been so safisfied By love before For all the times I've tried These beginnings could mean more Than the brief affair I bargained for Little did I know when we began That my time had come to win a hand Happy is the way I'm feelin And I know it comes from being with you All at once my life is changin And I know it's cause I'm fallin in love with you Fallin in love with you Fallin in love Fallin in love with you They're surely on my side Please forgive me if I seem To be walking through a waking dream Laughter never came so easily There's a freedom here that's new to me Happy is the way I'm feelin And I know it comes from being with you All at once my life is changin And I know it's cause I'm fallin in love with you Fallin in love with you Fallin in love Fallin in love with you |

I must face a world of strangers Where I don't belong I'm not that strong It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to Who will always care you're always there when there's no getting over that rainbow When my smallest of dreams won't come true I can take all the madness the world has to give But I won't last a day without you So many times when the city seems to be Without a friendly face a lonely place It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you And you'll always smile it's all worthwhile when there's no getting over that rainbow When my smallest of dreams won't come true I can take all the madness the world has to give But I won't last a day without you Touch me and I end up singing Trouble seems to up and disappear You touch me with the love you're bringing I can't really lose when you're near When you're near my love If all my friends have forgotten half their promises they're not unkind just hard to find One look at you and I know That I could learn to live without the rest I've found the best when there's no getting over that rainbow When my smallest of dreams won't come true I can take all the madness the world has to give But I won't last a day without you when there's no getting over that rainbow When my smallest of dreams won't come true I can take all the madness the world has to give But I won't last a day without you But I won't last a day without you without you |

I wouldn't have the TV in the bedroom I wouldn't have this tear drop in my eye I wouldn't need the radio to be my lullaby If I had you, if I had you I wouldn't need the sun to light the morning (I would need no sunshine) If I could have your love to light my night I'd never for a second keep our love from burnin' bright If I had you in my life If I had you again I wouldn't be the fool I've been If I had you again I'd never let the lovin' end If I had you again I'd show you baby you're the only one So say that you believe in second chances (You believe in love) And say you'll let me be with you tonight (All through the night) If you'll take my hand I'll show you just how love could be so right If I had you ( If I had you) If I had you (Here in my life) If I had you again I wouldn't be the fool I've been If I had you again I'd never let the lovin' end If I had you again I'd show you baby you're the only one If you'll take my hand I'll show you just how love could be so right (Ooooooooohhhh) If I had you (If I had you) If I had you (Back in my life) If I had you again (If I had you, I wouldn't be blue) I wouldn't be the fool I've been (I wouldn't be the fool yeah) If I had you again I'd never let the lovin' end (I'd never be a fool) If I had you again (If I had you, I would be true) I'd never let this moment dissappear (If I had you, I wouldn't be blue) If I had you in my life. |

from Karen Carpenter - Karen Carpenter (1996)
I've been living memories Lost in the warm of your smile Driftin' through the dreams we used to share Thinkin' 'bout the times we spent in love without a care And wishin' you were there So darlin' if you should feel you're lonely tonight And you need someone next to you to hold you tight Just call me and I'll be there by your side Cause we can put that feelin' back inside us If we try Summer time was feelin' good Holdin' the world in our hands Seemed like what we had was growin' strong Never even crossed our minds that love would soon be gone I guess that we were wrong So darlin' if you should feel you're lonely tonight And you need someone next to you to hold you tight Just call me and I'll be there by your side Cause we can put that feelin' back inside us If we try So darlin' if you feel you're lonely tonight, And you need someone next to you to hold you tight Just call me and I'll be there by your side (I'll be by your side) Cause we've got all those memories to guide us And we can put that feelin' back inside us If we try |

For those whose eyes would see
Render them in faith to me For all those seeking peace In my arms their strife shall cease And place in me the agony you bear Nothing can impair the perfect love I bring In a simple offering |

from The Carpenters - Christmas Portrait (1978)
It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, from heaven's all gracious king The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurl And still their heavenly music floats, O'er all the weary world. Above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing And ever o'er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing O ye, beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low Who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow Look now for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing O rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing For lo the days are hastening on, by prophets seen of old When with the ever circling years shall come the time foretold When the new heaven and earth shall own the prince of peace their King And the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing |

It's going to take some time this time
to get myself in shape i really fell outta line this time i really missed the gate the birds on the telephone line (this time) are calling out to me (this time) and i won't be so blind next time and i'll find some harmony and it's going to take some time this time no matter what i plan and like the young trees in the winter time i'll learn how to bend after all the tears we've shed 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..... <INSTRUMENTAL>after all the tears we've shed 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.... |

Johnny Angel, Johnny Angel
Johnny Angel, Johnny Angel You're an angel to me Johnny Angel How I love him How I tingle When he passes by Everytime he says "hello" My heart begins to fly Johnny Angel How I want him He's got something That I can't resist But he doesn't even know That I exist I'm in heaven I get carried away I dream of him and me And how it's gonna be Other fellows Call me up for a date But I just sit and wait I'd rather concentrate On Johnny Angel 'Cause I love him And I pray That someday he'll love me And together we will see How lovely Heaven will be And together we will see How lovely Heaven will be |

When the morning sunrise
Becomes a magic show Before your very eyes And all the sounds of life Begin to harmonize You hear a song of hope Surround your senses And feel the promise of a brand new kind of world Lose your defenses Unlock your mind Unwind and follow me Come let me help you see How to find the way to leave yesterday behind We should be together when we're this close we're bound to work it out somehow We found a dream to share Don't lose it now Just let my song of love Surround your senses And feel the promise of a brand new kind of world Lose your defenses Unlock your mind You know I love you (Love you) Come let me show you (show you) How to find the way to leave yesterday behind |

To say I'm romantic would be quite semantically true
But make-believe passion has fallen from fashion's milieu It's undestandable why we're a little confused It's asking for trouble just watching the six o'clock news But for a moment, all things aside, look to yourself somewhere insideLook yo your dreams Don't they still seem worthwhile? Don't they still seem in style? Aren't you glad they're still there?Look to your dreams There's a need for them now When the world has us down Aren't you glad they're around?Once conceived, once believed fantasy's reality's childhood And like a seed, visions need constant care like a child would, we should Look yo your dreams We can still make the stars We can still break the bars We have built here on earth() Look to your dreams And tomorrow may be better for you and me The future may say Blame blind yesterday for taking dreams away They could mean more than they seemAnd like a seed, visions need constant care like a child would, we should () |

Talk about love
How it makes life complete You can talk all you want Make it sound good and sweet But the words have an empty ring And they don't really mean a thing Without love you are not to be found You are not to be found For love is surrender Love is surrender if you care Love is surrender if you dare Shout about love Then the wars will all end You can shout "we're all brothers", And eve pretend But you can't cover up the past Just pretending will never last Without love you are nothing at all You are nothing at all For love is surrender You must surrender if you care You must surrender if you dare For love is surrender You must surrender if you care You must surrender if you dare Da-a-a-re! |

Love Me For What I Am
내 모습 그대로를 사랑해 주세요 We fell in love 우리는 사랑에 빠졌죠 On the first night that we met 우리가 처음 만났던 바로 그날 밤 Together 함께 We've been happy 우리는 행복했고 I have very few regrets 후회도 거의 없습니다 The ordinary problems 일상적인 문제들은 Have not been hard to face 거의 마주칠 일이 없었죠 But lately little changes 그러나 요즘 아주 작은 변화가 Have been slowly taking place 서서히 생기기 시작했습니다 You're always finding something 당신은 언제나 무언가를 찾았죠 Is wrong in what I do 내가 하는 일들에서 실수들을 찾기 시작했어요 But you can't rearrange my life 하지만 당신은 내 삶을 바꿀 수 없어요 Because it pleases you 그게 당신을 기쁘게 한다는 이유로 (*) You've got lo love me 당신은 날 사랑해야 해요 For what I am 내 있는 모습 그대로를 For simply being me 그저 나를 Don't love me 날 사랑하지 말아요 For what you intend 당신이 원하는 대로의 나를 Or hope that I will be 혹은 당신이 바라는 대로의 나를 And if you're only using me 그리고 만약 당신이 나를 To feed your fantasy 당신의 환상을 채우는 데에만 이용한다면 You're really not in love 당신은 사랑에 빠진 게 아니에요 So let me go 그러나 날 보내 주세요 I must be free 난 자유로워져야 해요 If what you want 만약 당신이 원하는 것이 Isn't natural for me 내게 자연스러운 일이 아니라면 I won't pretend to keep you what I am I have to be 나는 당신이 원하는 내 모습을 꾸며내고 싶지는 않아요 The picture of perfection 완벽한 그림은 Is only on your mind 당신의 마음 속에만 있는 거지요 For all your expectations 당신의 모든 예상들과 Love can never be designed 사랑은 꾸며질 수 없어요 We either take each other 우리는 우리의 For everything we are 있는 모습 그대로의 모든 걸 받아들어야 해요 Or leave the life 그렇지 않으면 삶을 떠나야지요 We've made behind 우리는 너무 멀어져 버렸고 (정확하지 않음) And make another start 그리고 다른 시작점을 만들었어요 |
