Every Morning
Every mornin', every evenin', every day I, I think of you
The way you love me, through and through
When I'm with you, it feels like heaven
You're an angel, holdin' me
Your sweet, sweet lovin', it sets me free
And in my wildest, imagination,
I could never, imagine you
Lovin' me as much as, as I do love you
And it may be winter, it may be fall
I might have plenty, or nothin' at all
But baby I'll be there, whenever you call, ever you call
'Cause every mornin', and every evenin', every day I, I think of you
The way you love me, through and through
The way you love me, through and through
Moonlight Kiss
I can feel my heart
And it's about to burst
I try to clear it up
But I just get worse
Wish I could fall
On a night like this
Into your loving arms
For a moonlight kiss
I thought I saw your face
In the evening sky
On a lonesome cloud
That was drifting by
I wish I could fly
On a night like this
To your loving arms
For a moonlight kiss
Now we're somewhere else
I know it's for the best
Since I found the key
To happiness
But I owe it all
To a night a like this
Your loving arms
And a moonlight kiss
Loving arms
And a moonlight kiss
Take Me To the Mardi Gras
C'mon take me to the Mardi Gras
Where the people sing and play
Where the dancing is elite
And there's music in the street
Both night and day
Hurry take me to the Mardi Gras
In the city of my dreams
You can legalize your lows
You can wear your summer clothes
In the New Orleans
And I will lay my burden down
Rest my head upon that shore
And when I wear that starry crown
I won't be wanting anymore
Take your burdens to the Mardi Gras
Let the music wash your soul
You can mingle in the street
You can jingle to the beat
Of Jelly Roll
Everybody loves a Mardi Gras
And if you have never seen
You got Buddy Bolden's blues
People doin' what they choose
In the New Orleans
I'm Glad There Is You
In this world of ordinary people
Extraordinary people
I'm glad there is you
In this world of over-rated pleasures
Of under-rated treasures
I'm glad there is you
I live to love, I love to live with you beside me
This role so new, I'll make it through with you to guide me
In this world where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you
More than ever, I'm glad there is you
The Color of Roses
I held you close to me
Once in a distant dream
Far from the shores of my fear
I sailed on this ocean
Where all I imagined could happen
And now you are here
It's so hard to touch what is out of our hands
To know and to trust what the heart understands
Only the ones who believe
Ever see what they dream
Ever dream what comes true
Life gives us magic
And life brings us tragedy
Everyone suffers some loss
Still we have faith in it
Childlike hope
There's a reason that outweighs the cost
Then gravity throws all these rules in our way
And sometimes the spirit refuses to play
Only the ones who believe
Ever see what they dream
Ever dream what comes true
Oh Love
Turn me around in your arms
And in this dream we share
Let us not miss one kiss
And add my regrets to the tears in the rain
That's what the color of roses contain
Blackbird
Blackbird singin' in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly
Into the light of this dark night

In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening
When the din of the day fades to blue
While the breeze sings sweet through the redwoods
With my love by my side, dreamin' too
In the deep, deep glow of the twilight
I fall fast in a reverie of my own
There we are - far away from the city
Here with you by my side - feels like home
I know this peace of mind was meant for me
I know this heart of mine will someday see
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening
With my love by my side, dreamin' too
I
Wasn't Ready for You
I thought I knew of love from A to Z
I'd been through all the joy and misery
I needed someone who would set me free
Been lookin' hard, but baby . . .
I Wasn't Ready for You - I Wasn't Ready for You
You'd better be good to me, Baby - I Wasn't Ready for You
I tried to look at love from every side
I gave my everything on every try
Sometimes I barely made it out alive
I thought I'd seen it all, but . . .
I Wasn't Ready for You - I Wasn't Ready for You
You'd better be good to me, Baby - I Wasn't Ready for You
Just when I thought that love could never last
You came and told me to forget the past
You were the magic, I fell hard and fast
I jumped right in, but baby . . .
I Wasn't Ready for You - I Wasn't Ready for You
You'd better be good to me, Baby - I Wasn't Ready for You
You shake me up, and then give me a twist
I love your grin and even more your kiss
I never knew that love could be like this
Ready for anything, 'cause . . .
Now, I'm Ready for You - I'm so Ready for You
I'm gonna' be good to you, Baby - Now, I'm Ready for You
Just the Two of Us
Take the train to Neuchatel
I'll be waiting there for you
There's a place we can go in the mountains
Far away where we can't be found
Just the two of us - just the two of us
J'ai un ami, qui m'a offert sa maison
Elle se trouve dans une belle foret
Nous deux seul, au fond des montagnes
Nous aurons notre reve parfait
Seulment toi et moi - Seulment toi et moi
J'y Serai
I Didn't Know About You
I ran around in my own little crowd
The usual laughs - not often, but loud
And in the world that I knew
I didn't know about you
Chasing after the ring on a merry-go-round
Taking my fun where it could be found
But then, what else could I do
I didn't know about you
Darling, now I know I had the loneliest yesterday - ev'ryday
In your arms I know for once in my life I'm living
Had a good time ev'ry time I went out
Romance was a thing I kidded about
What did I know about love
I didn't know about you
Darling, now I know I had the loneliest yesterday - ev'ryday
In your arms I know for once in my life I'm living
Had a good time ev'ry time I went out
Romance was a thing I thought I could do without
What did I know about love
I didn't know about you
My One and Only Love
The very thought of you makes my heart sing
Like an April breeze on the wings of spring
And you appear in all your splendour
My one and only love
The shadows fall and spread their mystic charms
In the hush of night, while you're in my arms
I feel your lips so warm and tender
My one and only love
The touch of your hand is like heaven
A heaven that I've never known
The blush of your cheek
Whenever I speak
Tells me that you are my own
You fill my eager heart with such desire
Every kiss you give sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender
My one and only love
Tonight's a Night for Love
Draw the curtains - pull the phone
If someone knocks, there's no one home
Seems like forever since we've been alone
Tonight's a night for love
Brought some candles - and Nat King Cole
We'll play it soft and turn the lights down low
Put your arms around me, I'll keep you from the cold
Tonight's a night for love
We'll go together clear across the sky
Sailing by the stars above
Two reservations on a one-way ride
Tonight's a night for love
Lights of the city's late night games
Softly whisper through our window panes
While others search for romance, right at home we'll stay
Tonight's a night for love
You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To
You'd be so nice to come home to
You'd be so nice by my fire
While the breeze on high, sang a lullaby
You'd be all that I could desire
Under the stars chilled by the winter
Under an Autumn moon high above
You'd be so nice
You'd be paradise, to come home to and love
Dedicated to You
That brought me fame and fortune, too
That book would be like my heart and me
If I should paint a picture, too
That showed the loveliness of you
My art would be like my heart and me
Dedicated to you
To you - because your love is the
beacon that lights up my way
To you - because with you I know
a lifetime would be just one heavenly day
If I should find a twinkling star
One half so wondrous as you are
That star would be like my heart and me
Dedicated to you
Kindness
I love your sense of humor
I love to see you smile
I love your sense of balance
I love your sense of time
I love your music in the morning
Your rhythm in the night
But it's your kindness
That shines so bright
Yes I love your beauty
I love your sexy moves
But more I love your honesty
You always tell the truth
I love your vision of the future
Your hope that never dies
But it's your kindness that clears my skies
Yes I love your wisdom
Your knowledge of the past
Your willingness to listen
And taste for what will last
Your sweet understanding
And your solid happiness
But it's your kindness that I love best
Yes I love your spirit
Your irrepressibility
The way you always hear me
The way you help me see
I love the way it feels to hold you
In our world of happiness
Still, it's your kindness that I love best
I love... I love... I love...
On Green Dolphin Street
Love - One lovely day
Love came wanting to stay
Green Dolphin Street supplied the setting
The setting for nights beyond forgetting
And through moments apart
Love stayed here in my heart
When I recall the love I found on
I could kiss the ground on
Green Dolphin Street
Love - One lovely day
Love came wanting to stay
Green Dolphin Street supplied the setting
The setting for nights beyond forgetting
And through moments apart
Love stayed here in my heart
I treasure so the love I found on
That I could kiss the ground on
Green Dolphin Street
When Did You Leave Heaven?
-
When did you leave heaven?
How could they let you go?
How's ev'rything in heaven
I'd like to know
Why did you choose heaven
For all these earthly things?
Where'd you hide your halo?
Where did you stash your wings?
Have they missed you?
Can you get back in?
And if I should kiss you,
Would it be a sin?
I am only human
But you are so divine
When did you leave heaven
Angel mine
Young and Foolish
Young and Foolish - Why is it wrong to be?
Young and Foolish - We haven't long to be
All too soon the carefree days
And carefree ways will all go by
All too soon the bluebird has to fly
We were foolish - one day we fell in love
Our friends wondered - what were we thinking of?
But making our own sunshine's what we like to do
I'm happy to be young and foolish with you
Like Someone in Love
Sometimes the things I do astound me
Lately, I seem to walk as though I have wings
Each time I think of you I'm free as a dove
Hearing guitars like someone in love
Mostly whenever you're around me
Stumblin' over things like someone in love
And feeling like someone in love
Something Real
Tell me what you're feeling and what it all means
You could be defensive or open up and share your dreams
You can keep right on denying or face me and start crying
'cause this time, when I reach out, it may be my last try
You see, I want something real one time before I die
We'll cry until it's funny, then laugh ourselves to tears
If you're frightened honey, I'll hold you through your fears
You see, I've been through real hard times already, and
I gave in when I should've held steady
So this time when I reach out, it may be my last try
I want something real one time before I die
We could make love all night 'til sky catches fire
Keep talking for hours and never get tired
We could beat the odds, but our hearts will have to conspire
Yes, I want something real from you baby
I want something that I can really feel
Don't you want something fine, something true
Won't you do for me what I'll do for you
I want something real one time before I die
