You know I care for you
But pretending to lead me on, that's all you do
I try to still believe but now I'm through
And the only place I see is calling out to me
It's the only place I know
It's the place where I must goOn the moon, that's where you'll find me soon.
I'll be alone again
That's okay, I must be on my own again.
I'll be waiting on the moon for youI sit and reminisce for many hours
I miss the rain and all the pretty flowers
I dream of all the cities and their towers
And I hope you wonder why
I'm lying in the sky
I'll even let you in for free
If you come and visit meOn the moon, that's where you'll find me soon.
I'll be alone again
And all I'll do is to lie there till I die there
Waiting on the moon for youWould you ever even dream to go to the extreme
And would you ever wanna be the one to rescue meOn the moon, that's where you'll find me soon.
All alone again
Unwinding there and playing that you find me there
Waiting on the moon for you
On the moon, that's where you'll find me soon.
All alone again
It's still your face will be hunting me
So if you're ever wanting me
I'll be waiting on the moon for you

It was high July
Another Summer
On the boardwalk
His skin was brown
As a rosary bead
The year before
He was everybody뭩 hero
But he was losing ground
And gaining speed
He could뭭e been a girl
But just one good hand of poker
That could뭭e turned
The whole damn thing around
But that July
Something was lost
That never did get found
He was the sun
That was waiting to rise
He had the look
Of a king in his eyes
And everything
Everything was possible
And now he just laughs
And says what the hell
And clings to the secret
That He뭠l never tell
But I wish in knew
What kind of scar
Can turn a sun into
Just another falling star
Now I get this d??vu
And I don뭪 really like it
With this friend of mine
That can뭪 get it in his brain
He뭩 a diamond lost
Inside the stone
He뭩 a player born
To win the game
But he뭩 gonna blow it all
The brass rings in his finger
And I gotta watch
As he throws it away
He뭩 like a summer
That뭩 rare and right
That no one뭩 gonna play
He is a sun
That is waiting to rise
He뭩 got the look
Of a king in his eyes
And everything
Everything is possible
And now he just laughs
And say뭩 what the hell
And clings to the secret
That he뭠l never tell
But I wish I knew
What kind of scar
Can turn a sun into
Just another falling star
Oh just another falling star
And someone explain it
Cause I don뭪 know why
Some people live like
They뭨e waiting to die
And I wish I knew
What kind of scar
Can turn a sun into
Just another falling star
Oh just another falling star

Who′s that face
On today’s front page
Sticking to my shoe
Empty eyes
And a real good smile
That′s all it takes
To sell the news
She got her name
On Gotham′s tongue
But Mama Fame
She eats her young
And half a buck
Ain′t half the price you pay
When you got
Broken children
Shot in black and white
Chasing wasted lives
And they can′t wait
To go there
Daddy′s money
Bought a first class seat
And they all just fly away
On a jet plane to nowhere
On a jet plane to nowhere
Well I′m at a house party
At the Taj Mahal
The portrait hanging
On the wall
Has got too much wine
In her head
And she gets too close
And grabs my face
And says
If you like this place
Well, then you ought to see my bed
She gives an order
To the staff
Looks up
For the photograph
It′s hard to know
If you should
Laugh or cry
When you got
Broken children
Shot in black and white
Chasing wasted lives
And they can′t wait
To go there
Daddy′s money
Bought a first class seat
And they all just fly away
On a jet plane to nowhere
The Hampton’s
Is a summer dream
Where little kings
Chase little queens
They eat it up like
Hungry wolverines
And it looks like
The fabric of their life is
Sewn tight
But it′s ripping at the seams
Broken children
Shot in black and white
Chasing wasted lives
And they can′t wait
To go there
Daddy′s money
Bought a first class seat
And they all just fly away
On a jet plane to nowhere
Oh on a jet plane to nowhere
Oh on a jet plane to nowhere

Ringing phones wake you up
Pulling you away
I forgot the end of the world
Was scheduled for today

Tell them you got things to do
And one of them is me
Tell them that you got the flu
Ah tell them anything

I'm a man who's on a mission
Waking up the woman sleeping
In your eyes
Oh I got a very strong suspicion
This could be the day
That she's ready
And she's waiting
So tell her it's okay
To come on out and play

Look at your crawling back
Smiling like a cat
At it girl you ought to be proud
Blowing them off like that

Forget about what's on your mind
Forget about your hair
Put your little hands in mine
Ah put them anywhere

I'm a man who's on a mission
Waking up the woman sleeping
In your eyes
Oh I got a very strong suspicion
This could be the day
That she's ready
And she's waiting
So tell her it's okay
To come on out and play

I don't want to talk today
Let's put the words away
Words don't matter anyway
For what I wanna say
For what I wanna say

Put your mind
Into neutral
Close your eyes
And just be kama sutral
For where I want to go
You don't need a map to read
We'll find our way there naturally
And when your body
Is in motion
We can just sit back
And let it lead the way

I'm a man who's on a mission
Waking up the woman sleeping
In your eyes
Oh I got a very strong suspicion
This could be the day
That she's ready
And she's waiting
So tell her it's okay
To come on out and play

I'm a man who's on a mission
Waking up the woman sleeping
In your eyes
Oh I got a very strong suspicion
This could be the day
So tell her it's okay
To come on out and play.

There′s so much on my mind
And there′s so much more I gotta do
Well I′m working through the night
But I just can′t stop watching you

I gotta keep looking out through the window
Trying to read your mind
I′m looking at you lying down on your pillow
Wishing I was by your side
I′m trying so hard
But I can′t keep my mind on anything I do
′cos I′m always watching you
I′m always watching you

Well I watch you close your eyes
And I watch you sleeping by the phone
So beautiful so fine
I can′t imagine why you are all alone

So I gotta keep looking out through the window
Trying to read your mind
I′m looking at you lying down on your pillow
Wishing I was by your side
I′m trying so hard
But I can′t keep my mind on anything I do
′cos I′m always watching you
I′m always watching you

And without you ever knowing
I′m going out of my mind
When you leave me everyday
′cos I wonder where you are going
And I spend all day just waiting for you
But I know I′m gonna be alright
′cos I′ll be watching you tonight

Well I′m trying to get in control
And stop myself from doing wrong
′cos I can′t just risk it all
I′ve been tide down way too long

I gotta keep looking out through the window
Trying to read your mind
I′m looking at you lying down on your pillow
Wishing I was by your side
I′m trying so hard
But I can′t keep my mind on anything I do
′cos I′m always watching you
I′m always watching you
I′m always watching you
′cos I′m always watching you

Time can fly and days go by
It speed we can′t controll
It′s been 30 years of city life
And now we′re growing old
There′s nothing more we needed for
And there′s nothing left to do
So let′s spend the autumn years ahead of us
Like the summers of our youth
Never knew how much we had back then
But it′s not too late to have it all again
I wanna wake up to the music of hummingbirds and harmony
I wana feel the morning sunlight filling up the room
I wanna listen to the silence that′s singing through the scenery
I wanna smell the roses of our love the day they bloomed
Let′s go back and find
The simple world we knew
Coz i still wanna live again the country life with you
Country life with you
Taxi cabs and traffic jams
And subways on the ground
Don′t you miss the days when all we hear
The nature′s quiet sounds
I′m tired of just remembering
When their memories left to make
Just you and me in a hundred miles of greenery and lake
Oh take me to that peaceful place i miss
Coz i can′t spend another day like this
I wanna wake up to the music of hummingbirds and harmony
I wana feel the morning sunlight filling up the room
I wanna listen to the silence that′s singing through the scenery
I wanna smell the roses of our love the day they bloomed
Let′s go back and find
The simple world we knew
Coz i still wanna live again the country life with you
Don′t it let be another thing
You always meant to do
just let me live again the country life with you
Country life with you

I hate to see the evenin' sun go down
I hate to see the evenin' sun go down
Cause my baby she left this townFeelin' tomorrow, just like I feel today
Feelin' tomorrow, just like I feel today
I'll pack my trunk and make my get-awaySt. Louis woman, with her diamond rings
She pulls her man around, by her apron strings
She wants for powder, and for store-bought hair
The man she loves he wouldn't go nowhereSt. Louis woman, with her diamond rings
She pulls her man around, by her apron strings
She wants for powder, and for store-bought hair
The man she loves he wouldn't go nowhere
Wouldn't go nowhere
Wouldn't go nowhere
He wouldn't go nowhere
He wouldn't go nowhere

All you have to do is touch my hand
To show me that you understand
And something happens to me
That's some kind of wonderful
Anytime my little world turns blue
I just have to look at you
Everything seems to be some kind of wonderfulI know I can't express this feeling of tenderness
There's 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 wonderfulI know I can't express this feeling of tenderness
There's 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
Oh wonderful, some kind of wonderful

I love Paris in the springtime
I love Paris in the fall
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles
I love Paris in the summer when it sizzlesI love Paris every moment
Every moment of the year
I love Paris, why, oh why do I love Paris?
Because my love is nearI love Paris every moment
Every moment of the year
I love Paris, why, oh why do I love Paris?
Because my love is near
She's near

Standing by the bedroom door
Leaning on the wall
Watching how you brush your hair
Like a waterfall

Dusty galaxies
Dance around the sun

Nothing moves pretty good
Holding everything
I wonder what would happen
If we pulled the string

So U B U
And I'll be me
Just don't hide a thing
And we'll be fine
Even if it's all wrong
It's all right

And don't remember
What you're supposed to do
U B U
And in unforgiving light
Even if it's all wrong
It's alright

Drawing circles in the dirt
And throwing pennies in
Thinking works a lot like that
You lose more than you win

No matter how you twist it up
It comes undone
Leave a well enough alone
And we'll all have fun

So U B U
And I'll be me
Just don't hide a thing
And we'll be fine
Even if it's all wrong
It's all right

And don't remember
What you're supposed to do
U B U
And in unforgiving light
Even if it's all wrong
It's alright

A rainbow ain't a crayon box
The sun, it don't know it's hot
We don't know how nothing works
Like it or not

So U B U
And I'll be me
Just don't hide a thing
And we'll be fine
Even if it's all wrong
It's all right

And don't remember
What you're supposed to do
U B U
And in unforgiving light
Even if it's all wrong
It's alright

So U B U
And I'll be me
Just don't hide a thing
And we'll be fine
Even if it's all wrong
It's all right

And don't remember
What you're supposed to do
U B U
And in unforgiving light
Even if it's all wrong
It's alright

U B U

So U B U
And I'll be me
Just don't hide a thing
Just don't hide a thing
Even if it's all wrong
It's all right

And don't remember
What you're supposed to do
U B U
And in unforgiving light
Even if it's all wrong
It's alright

Bali Ha'i may call you
Any night and any day
In your heart you'll hear it call you
"Come away, come away"Bali Ha'i will whisper
On the wind of the sea
"Here am I your special island"
"Come to me, come to me"Your own special hopes
Your own special dreams
Bloom on the hillside
And shine in the streamsIf you try you'll find me
Where the sky meets the sea
Here am I your special island
Come to me, come to meYour own special hopes
Your own special dreams
Bloom on the hillside
And shine in the streamsIf you try you'll find me
Where the sky meets the sea
Here am I your special island
Come to me, come to me
Come to me
Come to me

Within the dark in the sky above I see a sign
Within the distant clouds I see a friend of mine
And then as the shadows disappear
He smiles at me
And I know
He's watchingHe lives within the heaven
And he lives within my mind
All I can feel is the love he left behind
Then he will whisper in my ear
He tells me, I should know he's watchingAnd now I'm grown
I'm strengthened by the tears I've never shown
I'm strengthened by the years I've never known
Once afraid of facing them alone
And every day I always have some place to go
I've travelled very far from the life I used to know
But still when I close my eyes and dream
I feel him near and I know
He's watchingAnd now I'm grown
I'm strengthened by the tears I've never shown
I'm strengthened by the years I've never known
Once afraid of facing them alone
And every day I always have some place to go
I've travelled very far from the life I used to know
But still when I close my eyes and dream
I feel him near and I know
He's watchingHe's watching
He's watching
He's watching
He's watching

Lock the door and stop complaining
Gather 'round and listen well
From now on we're entertaining
How to hotten up this hellHold the mood and hold the chatter
Skip the food and stop the clatter
Can't you hear that pitter-patter?
We're not here to eat
We came for the heat!Let's raise the roof
Let's make a scene
Let's hop the gods of love
Will shine above
And show the way
Let's call the shots
Let's roll the dice
Take my advice
It always pays
To raise the roof!Crush the ice and shake forever
Tell the evening where to go
And if you need a new endeavor
I can teach you what I knowGrab your partner by the collar
Bribe the barman with a dollar
Just ignite that mighty holler
Lead me to the trough
Till the light goes off!Let's raise the roof
Let's make a scene
Let's hop the gods of love
Will shine above
And show the way
Let's call the shots
Let's roll the dice
Take my advice
It always pays to raise the roof!Cut the strings and set the table
Gather roses on your way
Welcome to our Tower of Babel
Learn the language, come what maySpare me how the wind is blowing
If you keep the whiskey flowing
You can reap what you've been sowing
If you walk the plank
You've got me to thankLet's raise the roof
Let's make a scene
Let's hope the gods of love
Will shine above
And show the way
Let's call the shots
Let's roll the diceThe time for playing nice has run
Before the big hand hits the one
We've got to do what must be doneRaise the roof
Raise the roof
Raise the roof
Raise the roof

I can see the yearning in your eyes
I can see the hunger you disguise
I know that it's for me
So here's your chance to be
The lucky girl for me to love tonight
I'll be glad to take you on a ride
Satisfy your craving deep inside
But this I'm telling you
Tomorrow we'll be through
You're just a girl for me to love tonight
Come tonight and see
All that life can be
Say yes, and I will show you paradise
Come and you will know
The land where pleasures grow
A world that's bound to make you hypnotized
If you wait temptation starts to burn
It's the way you are so until you learn
That you want me even more
So before I close the door
Are you the girl for me to love tonightCome tonight and see
All that life can be
Say yes, and I will show you paradise
Come and you will know
The land where pleasures grow
A world that's bound to make you hypnotized
If you wait temptation starts to burn
It's the way you are so until you learn
That you want me even more
So before I close the door
Are you the girl for me to love tonight

You give your hand to me and then you say, "Hello"
I can hardly speak; my heart is beating so
And anyone can tell you think you know me well
Well you don't know me
No, you don't know the one who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight
To you I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been
Well, you don't know meI never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me, tooYou give your hand to me and then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
And you will never know the one who loves you so
Well, you don't know meI never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
The chance you might love me, tooYou give your hand to me and then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
And you'll never ever know the one who loves you so
Well, you don't know me

(Music & Lyrics by Peter Cincotti)

It's been a while since I saw you
And I don't know what to say
I've flown around the world in circles
since fame and fortune came my way
Girls are all around me now it's true
But you should know I'd rather be with you
Smiling people all around me
And never meaning what they say
All the women that's around me
Pretend they love me all the way
But I don't have to wait until I fall
To realize they don't really care at all
Now all I can do is to rely on my feelings
Now I'm thinking of you
And my heart is revealing that I love you
When I come home again I'll find you
And I'll be singing you this song
And then I'll kiss you and remind you
I have loved you all along
Even though I'm loving what I do
But now you know I'd rather be with you
With you, you

When this old world starts a getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into spaceOn the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother meWhen I come home feeling tired and beat
I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I'll get away from the hustling crowd
And all the rat-race noise down in the streetOn the roof, the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it soAt night the stars put on a show for free
Darling, you can share it all with meRight smack dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's troubleproof
If this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two
Up on the roof
Up on the roof
