Janis Ian - At Seventeen Lyrics

I learned the truth at seventeen

That love was meant for beauty queens

In high school girls with clear skinned smiles

Who married young and then retired

The valentines I never knew

The Friday night charades of youth

Were spent on one more beautiful

At seventeen I learned the truth

And those of us with ravaged faces

Lacking in the social graces

Desperately remained at home

Inventing lovers on the phone

Who called to say come dance with me

And murmured vague obscenities

It isn't all it seems

At seventeen

A brown eyed girl in hand me downs

Whose name I never could pronounce

Said, Pity please the ones who serve

They only get what they deserve

And the rich relationed hometown queen

Married into what she needs

A guarantee of company

And haven for the elderly

Remember those who win the game

Lose the love they sought to gain

Indebentures of quality

And dubious integrity

Their small town eyes will gape at you

in dull surprise when payment due

Exceeds accounts received

At seventeen

To those of us who knew the pain

Of valentines that never came

And those whose names were never called

When choosing sides for basketball

It was long ago and far away

The world was younger than today

And dreams were all they gave for free

To ugly duckling girls like me

We all play the game and when we dare

To cheat ourselves at solitaire

Inventing lovers on the phone

Repenting other lives unknown

That call and say, come dance with me

And murmur vague obscenities

At ugly girls like me

At seventeen

Bee Gees How Can You Mend A Broken Heart

I can think of younger days when living for my life

Was everything a man could want to do.

I could never see tomorrow, but I was never told about the sorrow.

And how can you mend a broken heart?

How can you stop the rain from falling down?

How can you stop the sun from shining?

What makes the world go round?

How can you mend a this broken man?

How can a loser ever win?

Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.

I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees

And misty memories of days gone by

We could never see tomorrow, noone said a word about the sorrow.

And how can you mend a broken heart?

How can you stop the rain from falling down?

How can you stop the sun from shining?

What makes the world go round?

How can you mend this broken man?

How can a loser ever win?

Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.

Dan Fogelberg Lyrics - Longer Lyrics

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean

Higher than any bird ever flew

Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens

I've been in love with you.

Stronger than any mountain cathedral

Truer than any tree ever grew

Deeper than any forest primeval

I am in love with you.

I'll bring fire in the winters

You'll send showers in the springs

We'll fly through the falls and summers

With love on our wings.

Through the years as the fire starts to mellow

Burning lines in the book of our lives

Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow

I'll be in love with you.

I'll be in love with you.

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean

Higher than any bird ever flew

Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens

I've been in love with you

I am in love with you..

Olivia Newton-John - I Honestly Love You Lyrics

Maybe I hang around here

A little more than I should

We both know I got somewhere else to go

But I got something to tell you

That I never thought I would

But I believe you really ought to know

I love you

I honestly love you

You don't have to answer

I see it in your eyes

Maybe it was better left unsaid

This is pure and simple

And you should realize

That it's coming from my heart and not my head

I love you

I honestly love you

I'm not trying to make you feel uncomfortable

I'm not trying to make you anything at all

But this feeling doesn't come along everyday

And you shouldn't blow the chance

When you've got the chance to say

I love you

I honestly love you

If we both were born

In anoother place and time

This moment might be ending in a kiss

But there you are with yours

And here I am with mine

So I guess we'll just be leaving it at this

I love you

I honestly love you

I honestly love you

The Three Degrees:When Will I See You Again

Whoo, hah

Hah, whoo

Precious moments

When will I see you again

When will we share precious moments

Will I have to wait forever

Will I have to suffer

And cry the whole night through

When will I see you again

When will our hearts beat together

Are we in love or just friends

Is this my beginning or is this the end

When will I see you again

When will I see you again

When will I see you again

Hah, whoo

Precious moments

Are we in love or just friends

Is this my beginning or is this the end

When will I see you again

When will I see you again

Sweet sweet love of mine

Come, come

Tell me, yeah

My sweet lover, yeah

Rod Stewart

Vagabond Heart (1991)

Have I Told You Lately

(Van Morrison)

Have I told you lately that I love you

Have I told you there's no one else above you

Fill my heart with gladness

take away all my sadness

ease my troubles that's what you do

For the morning sun in all it's glory

greets the day with hope and comfort too

You fill my life with laughter

and somehow you make it better

ease my troubles that's what you do

There's a love that's divine

and it's yours and it's mine like the sun

And at the end of the day

we should give thanks and pray

to the one, to the one

Have I told you lately that I love you

Have I told you there's no one else above you

Fill my heart with gladness

take away all my sadness

ease my troubles that's what you do

There's a love that's divine

and it's yours and it's mine like the sun

And at the end of the day

we should give thanks and pray

to the one, to the one

And have I told you lately that I love you

Have I told you there's no one else above you

You fill my heart with gladness

take away my sadness

ease my troubles that's what you do

Take away all my sadness

fill my life with gladness

ease my troubles that's what you do

Take away all my sadness

fill my life with gladness

ease my troubles that's what you do

Show And Tell Lyrics by Al Wilson

These are the eyes

That never knew how to smile till you came into my life (do-do-do-do-do)

And these are the arms

That long to lock you inside every day and every night (do-do-do-do-do)

Girl, and here is the soul of which you've taken control

Can'tcha see I'm tryin' to show love is right?

Whoa, oh, oh, oh show and tell

Just a game I play

When I wanna say I love you

Girl, so show me and tell me

That you feel the same way too

Say you do, baby

These are the hands

That can't help reaching for you if you're anywhere in sight

(Anywhere in sight)

And these are the lips

That can't help callin' your name in the middle of the night

(Middle of the night)

Whoa, and here is the man

Who needs to know where you stand

Dontcha know I've done all I can, so decide

Whoa, oh, oh, oh show and tell

Just a game I play

When I wanna say I love you (I love you)

Girl, so show me and tell me

That you feel the same way too

Say you do, say you do, baby, baby, baby

Ahh, here is the soul

Of which you've taken control

Can't you see I'm tryin' to show love is right?

Ooh, girl, show and tell

Just a game I play

When I wanna say Oh, I love you

Girl, so show me and tell me

That you feel the same way too

Say you do, say you do, baby

Whoa, oh, oh, oh show and tell

Just a game I play

When I wanna say Oh, I love you

FADE

Girl, so show me and tell me

That you feel the same way too

Say you do, baby, baby

Carly Simon - You're So Vain Lyrics

You walked into the party

Like you were walking onto a yacht

Your hat strategically dipped below one eye

Your scarf it was apricot

You had one eye in the mirror

As you watched yourself gavotte

And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner

They'd be your partner, and

You're so vain

You probably think this song is about you

You're so vain

I'll bet you think this song is about you

Don't you? Don't you?

You had me several years ago

When I was still quite naive

Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair

And that you would never leave

But you gave away the things you loved

And one of them was me

I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee

Clouds in my coffee, and

You're so vain

You probably think this song is about you

You're so vain

I'll bet you think this song is about you

Don't you? Don't you?

I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee

Clouds in my coffee, and

You're so vain

You probably think this song is about you

You're so vain

I'll bet you think this song is about you

Don't you? Don't you?

Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga

And your horse naturally won

Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia

To see the total eclipse of the sun

Well, you're where you should be all the time

And when you're not, you're with

Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend

Wife of a close friend, and

You're so vain

You probably think this song is about you

You're so vain

I'll bet you think this song is about you

Don't you? Don't you?

ANNIE'S SONG (John Denver)

You fill up my senses

Like a night in the forest

Like the mountains in springtime

Like a walk in the rain

Like a storm in the desert

Like a sleepy blue ocean

You fill up my senses

Come fill me again

Come let me love you

Let me give my life to you

Let me drown in your laughter

Let me die in your arms

Let me lay down beside you

Let me always be with you

Come let me love you

Come love me again

Let me give my life to you

Come let me love you

Come love me again

You fill up my senses

Like a night in the forest

Like the mountains in springtime

Like a walk in the rain

Like a storm in the desert

Like a sleepy blue ocean

You fill up my senses

Come fill me again

America Lonely People

This is for all the lonely people

Thinking that life has passed them by

Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup

And ride that highway in the sky

This is for all the single people

Thinking that love has left them dry

Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup

You never know until you try

Well, I'm on my way

Yes, I'm back to stay

Well, I'm on my way back home (Hit it)

This is for all the lonely people

Thinking that life has passed them by

Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup

And never take you down or never give you up

You never know until you try

Peaches Herb - Reunited Lyrics

I was a fool to ever leave your side

Me minus you is such a lonely ride

The breakup we had has made me lonesome and sad

I realize I love you

'Cause I want you bad, hey, hey

I spent the evening with the radio

Regret the moment that I let you go

Our quarrel was such a way of learning so much

I know now that I love you

'Cause I need your touch, hey, hey

Reunited and it feels so good

Reunited 'cause we understood

There's one perfect fit

And, sugar, this one is it

We both are so excited

'Cause we're reunited, hey, hey

I sat here staring at the same old wall

Came back to life just when I got your call

I wished I could climb right through the telephone line

And give you what you want

So you will still be mine, hey, hey

I can't go cheating, honey, I can't play

I found it very hard to stay away

As we reminisce on precious moments like this

I'm glad we're back together

'Cause I missed your kiss, hey, hey

Reunited and it feels so good

Reunited 'cause we understood

There's one perfect fit

And, sugar, this one is it

We both are so excited

'Cause we're reunited, hey, hey

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Ba-a-a-by

Lover, lover, this is solid love

And you're exactly what I'm dreaming of

All through the day

And all through the night

I'll give you all the love I have

With all my might, hey, hey

Reunited and it feels so good

Reunited 'cause we understood

There's one perfect fit

And, sugar, this one is it

We both are so excited

'Cause we're reunited, hey, hey

Don't Go Breaking My Heart

Elton John

Don't go breaking my heart

I couldn't if I tried

Honey if I get restless

Baby you're not that kind

Don't go breaking my heart

You take the weight off me

Honey when you knocked on my door

I gave you my key

Nobody knows it

When I was down

I was your clown

Nobody knows it

Right from the start

I gave you my heart

I gave you my heart

So don't go breaking my heart

I won't go breaking your heart

Don't go breaking my heart

And nobody told us

`Cause nobody showed us

And now it's up to us babe

I think we can make it

So don't misunderstand me

You put the light in my life

You put the sparks to the flame

I've got your heart in my sights

Artist: Rogers Kenny

Song: Lady

Lady, I'm your knight in shining armor and I love you

You have made me what I am and I am yours

My love, there's so many ways I want to say I love you

Let me hold you in my arms forever more

You have gone and made me such a fool

I'm so lost in your love

And oh, we belong together

Won't you believe in my song?

Lady, for so many years I thought I'd never find you

You have come into my life and made me whole

Forever let me wake to see you each and every morning

Let me hear you whisper softly in my ear

In my eyes I see no one else but you

There's no other love like our love

And yes, oh yes, I'll always want you near me

I've waited for you for so long

Lady, your love's the only love I need

And beside me is where I want you to be

'Cause, my love, there's somethin' I want you to know

You're the love of my life, you're my lady!

Lionel Richie Stuck On You

Stuck on you

Ive got this feeling down

Deep in my soul

That I just cant lose

Guess, Im on my way

Needed a friend

And the way I feel now I guess

Frankie Valli My Eyes Adored You Lyrics

My eyes adored you

Though I never laid a hand on you,

My eyes adored you

Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see

How I adored you:

So close, so close and yet so far away

Carried your books from school,

Playing make-believe you're married to me:

You were fifth grade, I was sixth

When we came to be

Walking home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay,

Till we grew into the me and you

Who went our separate ways

My eyes adored you

Though I never laid a hand on you,

My eyes adored you

Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see

How I adored you:

So close, so close and yet so far

Headed for city lights,

Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame,

I worked my fingers to the bone,

Made myself a name.

Funny, I seem to find that, no matter how the years unwind,

Still I reminisce about the girI miss

And the love I left behind...

My eyes adored you

Though I never laid a hand on you,

My eyes adored you

Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see

How I adored you:

So close, so close and yet so far

All my life I will remember how warm and tender

We were way back then

Though I'm feeling sad regrets I know I won't ever forget

You, my childhood friend

My eyes adored you

Though I never laid a hand on you,

My eyes adored you

Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see

How I adored you:

So close, so close and yet so far

Song: Southern Nights

Southern Nights Have You Ever Felt A

Southern Night Free As A Breeze

Not To Mention The Trees

Whistling Tunes That You Know And Love So

Southern Nights Just As Good Even When

Closed Your Eyes I Apologize

To Any One Who Can Truly Say

He Has Found A Better Way

Feel So Good Feel So Good It's Frightening

Wish I Could Stop This World From Fighting

La Da Da Da Da Da La Da Da Da Da Da

Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da

Mysteries Like This And Many Others

In The Trees Blow In The Night

In The Southern Skies

Southern Skies Have You Ever Noticed

Southern Skies It's Precious Beauty

Lies Just Beyond The Eye

It Goes Running Thru Your Soul Like The Stories Of Old

Old Man He And His Dog They Walk The Old Land

Every Flower Touched His Cold Hand

As He Slowly Walked By

Weeping Willows Would Cry For Joy

Orlando Tony - Tie A Yellow Ribbon

I'm comin' home, I've done my time

Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine

If you received my letter tellin' you I'd soon be free

Then you'll know just what to do if you still want me

If you still want me

CHORUS:

Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree

It's been three long years

Do you still want me?

If I don't see a ribbon round the old oak tree

I'll stay on the bus

Forget about us

Put the blame on me

If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree

Bus driver, please look for me

'Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see

I'm really still in prison, and my love she holds the key

A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free

I wrote and told her please:

REPEAT CHORUS

Now the whole snip bus is cheering

And I can't believe I see

A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the old oak tree

I'm comin' home

YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE (Debbie Boone)

So many nights I sit by my window

Waiting for someone to sing me his song

So many dreams I kept deep inside me

Alone in the dark but now

You've come along

You light up my life

You give me hope

To carry on

You light up my days

and fill my nights with song

Rollin' at sea, adrift on the water

Could it be finally I'm turning for home?

Finally, a chance to say hey,

I love You

Never again to be all alone

You light up my life

You give me hope

To carry on

You light up my days

and fill my nights with song

You light up my life

You give me hope

To carry on

You light up my days

and fill my nights with song

It can't be wrong

When it feels so right

'Cause You

You light up my life

First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

Roberta Flack

The first time ever I saw your face

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave

To the dark and the empty skies, my love,

To the dark and the empty skies.

The first time ever I kissed your mouth

And felt your heart beat close to mine

Like the trembling heart of a captive bird

That was there at my command, my love

That was there at my command.

And the first time ever I lay with you

I felt your heart so close to mine

And I knew our joy would fill the earth

And last till the end of time my love

It would last till the end of time my love

The first time ever I saw your face, your face,

your face, your face

Carly Simon - Nobody Does It Better Lyrics

Nobody does it better

Makes me feel sad for the rest

Nobody does it half as good as you

Baby, you're the best

I wasn't looking but somehow you found me

It tried to hide from your love light

But like Heaven above me

The spy who loved me

Is keeping all my secrets safe tonight

And nobody does it better

Though sometimes I wish someone could

Nobody does it quite the way you do

Why'd you have to be so good?

The way that you hold me

Whenever you hold me

There's some kind of magic inside you

That keeps me from running

But just keep it coming

How'd you learn to do the things you do?

And nobody does it better

Makes me feel sad for the rest

Nobody does it half as good as you

Baby, baby, darlin', you're the best

Baby, you're the best

Darlin', you're the best

Baby, you're the best

Baby, you're the best

Baby, you're the best

Baby, you're the best

Ray Charles - Rainy Night in Georgia

Hoverin' by my suitcase, tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night

Heavy rain fallin', seems I hear your voice callin' It's all right.

A rainy night in Georgia, a rainy night in Georgia

It seems like it's rainin' all over the world

I feel like it's rainin' all over the world

Neon signs a-flashin', taxi cabs and buses passin' through the night

A distant moanin' of a train seems to play a sad refrain to the night

A rainy night in Georgia, such a rainy night in Georgia

Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over the world

I feel like it's rainin' all over the world

How many times I wondered

It still comes out the same

No matter how you look at it or think of it

It's life and you just got to play the game

instrumental interlude

I find me a place in a box car, so I take my guitar to pass some time

Late at night when it's hard to rest I hold your picture to my chest

and I feel fine

(minor scat) But it's a rainy night in Georgia, baby, it's a rainy night in Georgia I

feel it's rainin' all over the world, kinda lonely now And it's rainin' all over the

world

Oh, have you ever been lonely, people?

And you feel that it was rainin' all over this man's world

You're talking 'bout rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin',

rainin', rainin' rainin', rainin', rainin' etc. to end

Mary Chapin Carpenter - I'll Never Fall in Love Again Lyrics

What do you get when you fall in love?

A guy with a pin to burst your bubble

That's what you get for all your trouble.

I'll never fall in love again.

I'll never fall in love again.

What do you get when you kiss a guy?

You get enough germs to catch pneumonia.

After you do, he'll never phone you.

I'll never fall in love again.

I'll never fall in love again.

Don't tell me what is all about,

'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out,

Out of those chains, those chains that bind you

That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?

You get enough tears to fill an ocean

That's what you get for your devotion.

I'll never fall in love again.

I'll never fall in love again.

What do you get when you fall in love?

You only get lies and pain and sorrow.

So, for at least until tomorrow,

I'll never fall in love again!

I'll never fall in love again!

As Sung by Cat Stevens

lyrics by Eleanor Farjeon

Morning has broken, like the first morning

Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird

Praise for the singing, praise for the morning

Praise for the springing fresh from the word

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven

Like the first dewfall, on the first grass

Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden

Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning

Born of the one light, Eden saw play

Praise with elation, praise every morning

God's recreation of the new day

Artist: Ronstadt Linda

Song: Blue Bayou

feel so bad I got a worried mind

I'm so lonesome all the time

Since I left my baby behind

On Blue Bayou

Saving nickles saving dimes

Working til the sun don't shine

Looking forward to happier times

On Blue Bayou

I'm going back someday

Come what may

To Blue Bayou

Where the folks are fine

And the world is mine

On Blue Bayou

Where those fishing boats

With their sails afloat

If I could only see

That familiar sunrise

Through sleepy eyes

How happy I'd be

Gonna see my baby again

Gonna be with some of my friends

Maybe I'll feel better again

On Blue Bayou

Saving nickles saving dimes

Working til the sun don't shine

Looking forward to happier times

On Blue Bayou

I'm going back someday

Come what may

To Blue Bayou

Where the folks are fine

And the world is mine

On Blue Bayou

Where those fishing boats

With their sails afloat

If I could only see

That familiar sunrise

Through sleepy eyes

How happy I'd be

Oh that boy of mine

By my side

The silver moon

And the evening tide

Oh some sweet day

Gonna take away

This hurting inside

Well I'll never be blue

My dreams come true

On Blue Bayou

Charlie Rich

Most Beautiful Girl

Hey, did you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world?

And if you did, was she crying, crying?

Hey, if you happen to see the most beautiful girl that walked out on me

Tell her, I'm sorry.

Tell her, I need my baby.

Oh.... Won't you tell her that I love her.

I woke up this morning and realized what I had done

I stood alone in the cold gray dawn

I knew I'd lost my morning sun

I lost my head and I said some things

Now come the heartaches that morning brings

I know I'm wrong and I couldn't see

I let my world slip away from me

So.......

Hey, did you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world?

And if you did, was she crying, crying?

Hey, if you happen to see the most beautiful girl that walked out on me

Tell her, I'm sorry.

Tell her, I need my baby.

Oh.... Won't you tell her that I love her.

( break )

Hey, did you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world?

And if you did, was she crying, crying?

Hey, if you happen to see the most beautiful girl that walked out on me

Tell her, I'm sorry.

Tell her, I need my baby.

Oh.... Won't you tell her that I love her.

If you happen to see the most beautiful girl that walked out on me

Tell her, I'm sorry.

Tell her, I need my baby.

Oh.... Won't you tell her that I love her
