You didn't notice me right beside you I said you looked like someone that I knew A little lie to get you to talk to me awhile You're eyes oh how they melt me Your smile, girl heaven help me Your lips kiss and tell me a thing or two Oh, the happy ending this could be Swept away in love and all it's glory One minute hearts are lonely The next each other's only Then darlin', I just know we'd fall that fast So don't you ever think it can't Love happens just like that I could try and act like I don't care But, bein' shy that gets me nowhere Though I admit, I'm a little bit scared to talk to you A risk, yeah maybe But it's one worth taking 'Cause I see a love in the making here with you Oh, the happy ending this could be Swept away in love and all it's glory One minute hearts are lonely The next each other's only Then darlin', I just know we'd fall that fast So don't you ever think it can't Love happens just like Lightning striking, flames igniting In an instant, souls igniting One minute hearts are lonely Then the next each other's only Then darlin' I just know we'd fall that fast So don't you ever think it can't Love happens just like Don't you ever think it can't Love happens just like that It happens just like that Love happens just like that

I'd be foolin' myself, thinkin' I've got it made I just can't assume true love won't fade I'll keep on listenin' to her, say I'm glad that I found her Keep on showin' her how my world turns around her 'Cause On any given night She could walk away She won't be mine for the takin' And that's the price that I'd pay 'Cause love's ever-changin' And in the blink of an eye Teardrops could fall And I could lose it all On any given night She's the sensitive kind, she needs a connection And cannot be so blind to lose my direction I'll keep on walkin' that mile, show her how far I'll go Keep on letting her hear all she needs to know On any given night She could walk away She won't be mine for the takin' And that's the price that I'd pay 'Cause love's ever-changin' And in the blink of an eye Teardrops could fall And I could lose it all On any given night Teardrops could fall And I could lose it all On any given night

Rebecca Lynn grew up in Carolina Half a mile from Tucker Cherry's farm A quiet girl with green eyes full of fire Her daddy's pride and all her mama's charm Rebecca Lynn became my heart's desire Long about the start of second grade Mrs. Roosenbloom let me sit beside her So we'd pass notes and after school we'd play [Chorus] Singing ring around the rosie Pocket full of dreams and posies Patty cake and baker's man Tag your it, kick the can And I think I hear my mama calling Gotta go Man I loved her so High school days with me and Becky learning what it really means to be in love Give and take, holding back for Heaven's sake And fighting for a week and making up I said please Becky won't you marry me Prom night in my car out by the curb She was so surprised, first she laughed and then she cried And somewhere in my heart I'm sure I heard [Chorus] Mama flashed the porch light for me Gotta go Man I loved her so When love is wrong it dies and that's the way it goes But when it's right, your love grows Laura Jean was born in Tennessee Now that's a common little miracle I know. But for me and Becky Lynn she's the dream that started When we fell in love so many years ago [Chorus] And I think I hear your mama calling Gotta go Oh man I loved you so

Tree Of Hearts

/b/bryan+white/tree+of+hearts_20025806.html

On a tree inside a heart A dull boyscout knife Took half a day to carve Michael loves Caroline He just turned ten and she was nine The summer she turned sweet sixteen He finally found his nerve And took her out to see And what she saw through her tears Were seven hearts for seven years CHORUS: And they stood beneath the tree of hearts And they watch their feelings grow And they swore they'd never be apart True love left it's mark On the tree of hearts The tenth time he carved their names Caroline's dad was giving her away There beneath the shelter of The tree of hearts they pledged their love And then four hearts down the road They brought the first of two born home CHORUS: And they played beneath the tree of hearts And they watched their children grow And they swore they'd never be apart True love left it's mark On the tree of hearts BRIDGE: In the blinking of an eye Somehow fifty-seven hears flew by Fifty-eight, fifty-nine Sixty he missed Caroline At sixty-one Michael knew There wouldn't be a sixty-two CHORUS: Now they lay beneath the tree of hearts An you can watch their love still grow Where they swore they'd never be apart True love left it's mark On the tree of hearts.

Winter Wonderland

/b/bryan+white/winter+wonderland_20810530.html

Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'? In the lane, snow is glistenin' A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight Walkin' in a winter wonderland Gone away is a bluebird Here to stay is a new bird He sings a love song as we go along Walkin' in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman And pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say, "Are you married?", we'll say, "No man" But you can do the job, you're in town When it snows, ain't it thrillin'? Though, your nose gets a little chilly We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way Walkin' in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman And pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say, "Are you married?", we'll say, "No man" You can do the job when you're in town Later on we'll conspire As we dream by the fire To face unafraid the plans that we made Walkin' in a winter wonderland We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way Walkin' in a winter wonderland

You'll Always Be Loved

Well this old world can get you down And leave you spinning 'round and 'round Not knowing what's for real On this crazy wheel Is part of the deal, baby There's only one sure thing I know I never want to let you go I'll be here by your side On this circus ride Through every drop and climb 'til the end of time When everything is moving fast It's hard to stay together I know that we can make it last We'll find a way to weather Any storm heaven sends We'll see it through to the end We've got it made if you can just believe You'll always be loved by me And when you go to bed at night And I'm not there to hold you tight I'll love you from afar No matter where you are I'll count the days 'til when I'm with you again And when we're growin' old I'll be the one to hold you close When everything is fading fast We'll face the end together We'll find a way to make it past One final storm to weather And even after the end I will be with you again We've got it made if you can just believe You'll always be loved by me

Commissioning A Symphony In C

/c/cake/commissioning+a+symphony+in+c_20026637.html

So you'll be an Austrian nobleman Commissioning a symphony in see Which defies all earthly descriptions You'll be commissioning a symphony in C With money you squeeze from the peasants To your nephew you can give it as a present This magnificent symphony in see You'll be commissioning a symphony in C Completely filling the palace concert hall It's warm and golden like an oven that's wide open It has a melody both happy and sad Built on victorious known triads You enter the room with great caution Though no-one in the hall is even watching They are transfixed, they are forgetting just to breathe They are so taken by your symphony in C You are sitting there thinking your thoughts They are not about what is but what is not You are sitting there breathing in your breath You are seldom breathing life but mostly death So you'll be an Austrian nobleman Commissioning a symphony in C Which defies all earthly descriptions You'll be commissioning a symphony in C

Dime

In the brown shag carpet of a cheap motel In the dark and dusty corner by the TV shelf Is a small reminder of a simpler time When a crumpled up pair of trousers cost a brand new dime Well you ask me how I made it through and how my mint condition could belong to you When I'm on the ground I roll through town I'm a president you don't remember getting kicked around I'm a dime I'm fine And I shine I'm freshly minted I am determined not to be dented By a car or by a plane or anything not yet invented I'm a dime I'm fine And I shine In the hiss and rumble of the freeway sounds As the afternoon commuters drive their cars around There's a ringle jingle near the underpass There's a sparkle near the fast food garbage and roadside trash I'm a dime I'm fine And I shine I'm freshly minted I'm silver-plated I'm underrated You won't even pick me up because I'm not enough for a local phone call I'm a dime I'm fine And I shine I'm a dime I'm fine And I shine I'm a dime I'm fine And I shine

Guitar

I'm sitting by the window of your 32nd floor apartment Waiting for your phone calls all to end I'm sitting, watching wind blow, watching time go, watching cars go by I'm waiting for these memories to begin If I threw my guitar Out the window so far down Would I start to regret it? Or would I smile and watch it slowly fall, fall, fall? Garbage trucks and taxi cabs don't seem like they can reach me here The clamor of jackhammers seems so faint Well the way you treat me like the only slightly brings me down a lot I don't think that I'll ever be the same If I threw my guitar Out the window so far down Would I start to regret it? Or would I smile and watch it slowly fall, fall, fall? If I threw my guitar Out the window so far down Would I start to regret it? Or would I smile and watch it slowly fall, fall, fall?

The Distance

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line Engines pumping and thumping in time The green light flashes, the flags go up Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank Fuel burning fast on an empty tank Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns Their prowess is potent and secretly stern As they speed through the finish, the flags go down The fans get up and they get out of town The arena is empty except for one man Still driving and striving as fast as he can The sun has gone down and the moon has come up And long ago somebody left with the cup But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns And thinking of someone for whom he still burns He's going the distance He's going for speed She's all alone In her time of need Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse He's going the distance No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine He's haunted by something he cannot define Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force In his mind, he's still driving, still making the grade She's hoping in time that her memories will fade Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse The sun has gone down and the moon has come up And long ago somebody left with the cup But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns And thinking of someone for whom he still burns 'Cause he's going the distance He's going for speed She's all alone In her time of need Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse He's racing and pacing and plotting the course He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse He's going the distance He's going for speed He's going the distance

You are the angel glow that lights a star, The dearest things I know are what you are. Some day my happy arms will hold you, And some day I'll know that moment divine, When all the things you are, are mine!

It took me months to calculate That I had nothing left without you- [Chorus] Dan, my fling is all flung out Now I've got to fall back on dreams I thought I'd try and write you I thought I'd try and phone you I thought I'd try to tell you That I smell your hair still on my pillow But you'd just mile to please me You'd shake your head, you'd tease me - Remind me it was I who first claimed That we both required freedom [Chorus] I'd dream up schemes to meet you, I'd nonchalantly greet you, I'd ask you up for coffee Anytime you had an hour open. You say you like my hair long, You ask me if I've written any new songs, You'd laugh, you'd turn and cross the street And leave me dizzy with your laughter - [Chorus] I hear you're leaving this town, You and some girl gonna travel around, You bought a car with foldback seats, you'll camp out by the lakes and forests. I lie alone in our old bed, Your laughter it's echoin' inside my head. I close my eyes, I smell your hair It's like I haven't slept in years - [Chorus]

Fisherman's Song

/c/carly+simon/fishermans+song_20027301.html

In a pine forest cooler than the rest of the island Lives a young fisherman with eyes like the sea He built his own boat and made his own cabin but he's broken the hearts of the likes like me Now you must understand he made me a promise there were secrets we shared we planted a tree We lived in a cabin, I fished along side of him I fell under the spell of his sorcery When he cast me adrift at the end of the summer It was not for another but his own privacy I fell apart like a rose, but the scent of my longing Remains and it weeps like an old willow tree At night when it's still, with a yellow moon rising When his candle is snuffed and he's deep in a dream I move like a cat, and crawl into his window And lie down beside him in a golden moonbeam The smell of his skin is just like the summer When our love was as fresh as the grass in the fields And ever so softly I kiss his eyelids Before slipping away, my secret concealed Though I'm in it alone, I'm still in it, In love And love can be lonely like a sweet melody But just maybe he feels like a whisper inside him Like an angel beside him, keeping him company

Give Me All Night

/c/carly+simon/give+me+all+night_20027280.html

I have no need of half of anything No half time, no half of a man's attention Give me all the earth and sky And at the same time add a new dimension Half the truth is of no use Give it all, give it all to me I can stand it I am strong that way Give me all night Give me the full moon And if I can't take the whole of you Give it to me anyway Give me all night 'Till the last star fades And if you can't take my heart and soul Take it from me anyway Don't give me fountains, I need waterfalls And, when I cry my tears'll fill an ocean The pain of love I'll accept it all As long as you'll join me in that emotion Half of lovin' is no fun Give it all, give it all to me I can stand it I am strong that way Don't leave me guessing alone Don't walk me half the way home You can do that tomorrow Just give me give me all night.

Grownup

/c/carly+simon/grownup_20027320.html

I stood in the doorway in my white nightgown Red roses on cotton, I stood three feet from the ground the grownups inside used words I didn't know But still I enjoyed the show They looked so lovely, they looked so self-assured And I just like them would know it all when I matured And I wouldn't be afraid of the darkness or the bears Or the cracks in the ceiling upstairs Now I've just gotten older, I've just gotten taller And the little ones, they call me a grownup Lat night at a friend's house a little girl was there She stood in the doorway playing with her hair She looked up to me as if I could do no wrong As I got up to sing my song I sang it with a shiver in my throat and in my knees Feeling just as small as a thistle in a breeze But the child's imagination carried me along And saw me through my song Now I've just gotten older, I've just gotten taller And the little ones call me a grownup

Half A Chance

/c/carly+simon/half+a+chance_20027219.html

You said we'd light the firmament You said our love was permanent You said we'd stick through thick and thin Through up and down, through lose and win But comes the first sign of stormy weather You're packin' your bags in the trance But you gotta give Half a chance Half a chance Half a chance To our romance you can't pretend it's Camelot Then start to run when things get hot When love explodes there's always heat There's always bitter with the sweet There's always times when your legs feel broken But you still don't drop out of the dance You gotta give Half a chance Half a chance Half a chance To our romance

Hold Out Your Heart

/c/carly+simon/hold+out+your+heart_20743499.html

Oh my boy, what have you done? Did you go out surfing on a frozen sea? Did you scare the livin' daylights out of me? Did you go too far to drive away the demons? Did you go too far to know what love really means? Did you imagine it was more cause she went away first Or did you force her hand to renew your thirst? [Chorus] Well if you ever want an endless night Or you need a moon and stars to shine Just hold out your heart my darling Hold out your heart my darling Hold out your heart And I will give you some of mine Oh my girl, what have you done? Is it something we can't even talk about? Did you silence me, remove me from your faith? Did you make me all but a stranger to your love? Did you look right through me Below me and above? Did you try to ignore me, make me all but lost? Did you cloud up the sky when you needed me most? [Chorus] It's gonna be fine It's gonna be fine, just fine Just hold out your heart my darling Just hold out your heart my darling Hold out your heart And I will give you all of mine

I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day

/c/carly+simon/i+heard+the+bells+on+christmas+day_20766923.html

I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace on earth Peace on earth I thought how as the day had come The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along the unbroken song Of peace on earth Peace on earth Peace on earth, good will to men And in despair I bowed my head "There is no peace on earth," I said "For hate is strong and mocks the song Of peace on earth Peace on earth Then pealed the bells more loud and deep "God is not dead, nor doth he sleep The wrong shall fail, the right prevail With peace on earth Peace on earth"

If all our flights are grounded Libby, we'll meet in Paris Dance along the boulevards And have no one to embarrass, Puttin' on the Ritz in style With an Arab and an Heiress, Libby we'll fly away - hey Leave behind our blues Trade them all in For a Paris breeze. Libby we'll fly See how dark the circles grow In a town that has no light So many eyes just staring out Into the bloodshot night And Libby, I hate you to cry, and I Want to share it all with you, And if it brings us to our knees We'll trade it all in for a Paris breeze. Libby we'll fly. They say it don't come easy They say that love is blind And if you're afraid to be close Then love is hard to find And if you spend too much time winning love There's no time to be kind And Libby, I'm guilty of your crimes, I'm just another passenger. Travelling on these crazy high seas Very likely be the same In a Paris breeze, Libby we'll fly If all our flights are grounded, Libby, we'll go to Paris And wish we were back home again Or sailing on the ocean Just a window and a drink To set our dreams in motion But Libby, we'll fly anyway, hey And leave behind our blues Half sung melodies Trade them all in for a Paris breeze, Libby we'll fly.

Dear mother the struggle is over now And your house is up for sale We divided your railway watches Between the four of us I fought over the pearls With the other girls But it was all a metaphor For what was wrong with us As the room is emptying out Your face so young comes into view And on the back porch is a well-worn step And a pool of light you can walk into I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river Can you clear up the mystery of the Sphinx? Do you know any more about God? Are you dancing with Benjamin Franklin On the face of the moon? Have you reconciled with Dad? Does the rain still make you sad? Last night I swear I could feel you Moving through my room And I thought you touched my feet I so wanted it to be true In my theater there is a stage And a footlight you can step into I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river In the river I know I will find the key And your voice will rise like the spray In the moment of knowing The tide will wash away my doubt 'Cause you're already home Making it nice for when I come home Like the way I find my bed turned down Coming in from a late night out. Please keep reminding me Of what in my soul I know is true Come in my boat, there's a seat beside me And two or three stars we can gaze into I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you forever Like a river I'll never leave, always just a dream away A star that's always watching Never turn away We'll never leave, always just a thought away A candle always burning Never turn away The moon will hide, the tree will bend I'm right beside you I'll never turn away

Well it's plain as rain And it's there for all the world to see Just 'cause everybody does it That doesn't make it right for me Someone is making plans Involvin' my old man Everytime I turn by back around Feelin' like a one man woman Living in a two time town Now the place I come from People don't grow on trees And you can't treat people like meat Without getting brought to your knees Now and then The way I've been feeling Since I hit this town Like to jump in the river and drown Feeling like a one man woman Living in a two time town Sometimes I'd like To get out on the floor Shake it till dawn Some young thing Like to teach him the bump Make me want to take him home Well excuse me I don't mean to preach no lectures Yeah but me and my man won't Be able to stay for breakfast I guess he's got the itch And I'm just a bitch Who's trying to bring him down Feeling like a one man woman Acting like a one man woman I guess I'm just a one man woman

Orpheus

Orpheus, it could have been You could have held me again You said your songs had all gone And that the road back up was too long But it was there for us It was there for us I loved you all along Orpheus The part of me that died Was ready to be reborn And you called of the hounds Of hell with your songs Orpheus, Orpheus I loved you all along, Orpheus Orpheus, It could have been You could have held me again But you couldn't wait Somewhere along the road You lost your faith Out of despair and believing I was gone You gave up on my love You gave up on us But it was there for us, It was there for us I loved you all along Orpheus

Our First Day Together

/c/carly+simon/our+first+day+together_20027230.html

Our first day together Was after we'd been close in dreams Was after we'd shared hell and heaven And all the places in-between And all the places in-between After we'd spent nights together And breathed secrets without words After we'd made promises That could but might not have been heard Might not have been heard Knowing me the way you do Then why did you just say That our first day together Was today?
