Let’s Wait
(by Lori Burton and Pamela Sawyer)
You say you'll always be proud of me
Well, I'm going to see that you do, baby
I'll be nobody, nothing if I do what you want
me to, yeah
Marrying now, struggle by anyway, anyhow
Living in misery; is that how you want it to
be?
No, baby, let's wait
No, baby, let's wait
We’ve got time
You say you'll always be needing me
Well, I'm going to see that you do, baby
I'll be somebody, something if you wait, babe,
I promise you, yeah
’Cause I’ve got my pride, our kid’s going to
hold his head up high
Not like you and me, victim of poverty
No, baby, let's wait
No, baby, let's wait
We’ve got time
I’ve got my pride, our kid’s going to hold his
head up high
Not like you and me, victim of poverty

Just
a Little
(by Bob Durand and Ronald
C. Elliot)
Ah!
I can't stay
Yes I know
You know I
Hate to go
But good-bye
It’s been sweet
Even though
Incomplete
So I'll sigh just a little ‘cause I love you
so
And I'll die just a little ‘cause I have to go
Away
Can't you see
How I feel
When I say
Love's unreal
But good-bye
It's been sweet
Even though
Incomplete
So I'll sigh just a little ‘cause I love you
so
And I'll die just a little ‘cause I have to go
Away
Come on!
Every night
I’ll still hear
All your sighs
Very clear
Now love's gone
Gone away
As I once
Heard you say
Now I'll sigh just a little ‘cause I love you
so
And I'll die just a little ‘cause i have to go
Away
So I'll sigh just a little ‘cause I love you
so
And I'll die just a little ‘cause I have to go
Away
Ah!
I Believe
(by Ervin Drake, Irvin Graham, Jimmy Shirl
and Al Stillman)
I believe for every drop of rain that
falls a flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night
a candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray someone
will come to show the way
I believe, I believe
I believe above the storm the smallest prayer
can still be heard
I believe that someone in that great somewhere
hears every word
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch
a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch
a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe

Like
a Rolling Stone
(by Bob Dylan)
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You’d throw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't
you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you know you're
bound to fall"
You thought they were all kidding you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hanging out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging your next meal
Come on
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Hey
Ah, you’re going the finest school all right,
Miss Lonely
But you know you’re gonna have to get juiced
in it
Nobody’s ever taught you how to live out on the
street
Now you're gonna have to get used to it
You see you never compromise
With the mystery trailer, but now you’re gonna
realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you look into the vacuum of his eyes
And say, “Do you want to make a deal?”
Come on
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Hit it
Ah, you never turned around to see the frowns
on all the jugglers and the clowns
When they all did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people go out and get
your, I said get your kicks for you
Used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulders a, a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal?
Come on (hey)
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Come on
Ah, princess on the steeple and all these pretty
people
Prayin’, thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts
You better get yourself a diamond ring, I said
you better go pawn it babe
Used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags, the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you ain’t got nothing, huh, you got nothing
to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal
Come on
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
I said you ain’t got no more money, baby
Like a rolling stone
Hell no, uh uh
Like a rolling stone
I’m gonna say it one more time, one more
Like a rolling stone
Now beat it
Mustang
Sally
(by Bonny Rice)
note: lyrics in italics are absent
from the single
Mustang Sally, think you better slow your
mustang down
Mustang Sally, baby, think you better slow your
mustang down
If you keep on running around, my baby
Have to put your big feet on the ground
It’s all right
All you want to do is ride around baby, said
ride, Sally, ride
All you want to do is ride around baby, just
ride, Sally, ride
Now, all you want to do is ride around baby,
said ride, Sally, ride
All you want to do is ride around baby, said
ride, Sally, ride
One of these early mornings, hey, you gonna be
wiping your weeping eyes
Go on, tell ‘em about it
I bought you a brand new Mustang, talk about
1966 now
You come home with some of that signifying child,
don't wanna let me ride
Mustang Sally, baby, I think you better slow
your mustang down
If you keep on running around, my baby
I'll have to put your flat feet on the ground
Got to go home
All you want to do is ride around baby, just
ride, Sally, ride
All you want to do is ride around baby, come
on ride, Sally, ride
All you want to do is ride around baby, said
ride, Sally, ride
All you want to do is ride around baby, just
ride, Sally, ride
Say yeah
All right!
I Ain’t Gonna Eat
Out My Heart Anymore
(by Lori Burton and Pamela
Sawyer)
Yeah, I admit you’ve got the biggest brown eyes
And you know how to part your lips to tantalize,
sure
Yeah, you can get any man you want going and
you do it
And don't say you don't know you do
Well, baby, I ain't gonna eat out my heart anymore
I ain't gonna eat out my heart anymore
So quit it
I love you, I love you, I do, girl
But you ain't gonna cheat on me
I need you, I need you, I do, girl
Choose, is it him or me (is it him or me)
Yeah, just 'cause I ain't been sayin', girl
You should be ashamed of what I've been seein'
– bad
Yeah, you better watch your step or, girl
You can bet you're gonna lose the best thing
you ever had
Well, baby, I ain't gonna eat out my heart anymore
I ain't gonna eat out my heart anymore
So quit it

I ain't gonna eat out my heart anymore
In
the Midnight Hour
(by Stephen Lee Cropper and
Wilson Pickett Jr.)
I'm gonna wait 'till the midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumbling down
I'm gonna wait 'till the midnight hour
When there’s nobody else around
Gonna take you girl and hold you
Do all things I told you in the midnight hour
Now I’m going to hold you in my arms
And see the twinkle in your eyes
I'm gonna wait, wait 'till the midnight hour
That's when my love begins to shine
You're the only girl that I know
Really love me so in the midnight hour
I’m trying to tell you
Won’t you listen to me
I'm gonna wait 'till the midnight hour, baby
When my love comes tumbling down
Got to wait 'till the midnight hour, my love
When there’s nobody else around
But you and I
Just you and I
I’m going to hold you in my arms
In the midnight hour
In the midnight hour
There’ll be nobody around us
Nobody to bother us
No trouble from anywhere
Just you and I
Let’s, uh, bring it down
Got to wait ‘til the midnight hour
That’s when my love comes tumbling down
Gonna wait, wait ‘til the midnight hour, baby
When there’s nobody, nobody around
Just you and I
Nobody around but you and I
Ow!
Now I’m going to hold you, hold you, hold you,
hold you
Squeeze you, tease you, I need you, love you,
baby
Ow! Mercy
Take it home now

What
is the Reason
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward
Brigati Jr.)
Tell me, what is the reason for falling in love?
What is the reason for falling in love?
Is it the things you do
To keep from feeling blue?
Is it because they say
That it should be that way?
No, it’s you
It’s only you
Tell me, what is the reason for falling in love?
What is the reason for falling in love?
Is it the magic key
That opens ecstasy?
Is it a harmless scheme
Or repetitious dreams?
No, it’s you
It’s only you
Yeah
Tell me, what is the reason for falling in love?
What is the reason for falling in love?
Is it the place to go
When you are feeling low?
Is it the telephone
When you are home alone?
No, it’s you
It’s only you
Yeah

Since
I Fell for You
(by Woodrow Buddy Johnson)
You made me leave my happy home
You took my love, now you’ve gone
Since I fell for you
Let me tell you about love
Brings such misery and pain, yeah
I guess I’ll never be the same
Since I fell for you
It’s too bad, and it’s too sad
But I’m in love with you
You love me, then you snub me
But listen, babe, what can I do, yeah
I’m still in love with you
Oh, I guess I’ll never see the light, no
I get those blues most every night
Since I fell for you, ah
I get those blues most every night
Since I fell for you
Yeah, since I
Since I fell for you, girl
Yeah
Lonely
Too Long
(by Felix Cavaliere)
note: lyrics in italics are absent from
the single
I've been lonely too long
I've been lonely too long
In the past it's come and gone
I feel like I can't go on without love
I've been lonely too long (He's been lonely too
long)
I've been lonely too long (He's been lonely)
As I look back
I can see me lost and searching
Now I find that I can choose
I'm free, oh yeah
So funny I just have to laugh
All my trouble been torn in half
I’ve been lonely too long (He's been lonely too
long)
Lonely too long (He's been lonely)
In the past it's come and gone
I feel like I can't go on without love
(He’s been lonely) lonely too long
I've been lonely so long (He's been lonely)
Just see me now
Makes it worth the time I've waited
She was all I need to make me see, oh yeah
I keep hoping with all my might
Everything gonna turn out right
I've been lonely too long (He's been lonely too
long)
Lonely so long (He's been lonely)
Now look at me
Gliding through this world of beauty
Everything I do brings ecstasy, oh, yeah
So wonderful I could die
I feel like I'm ‘bout ten miles high
I've been lonely too long (He's been lonely too
long)
Lonely too long (He's been lonely)
Found myself somebody (He's been lonely)
Don't have to be alone no more (He's been lonely)
I been so alone (he's been lonely)
Don't have to alone no more, no more (He's been
lonely, he's been lonely)

Love to Give
(by Gene Cornish)
It seems that I have lost something along the
way
But if I had to tell you I could not say
I have seen so much and gone so far and yet I
have not lived
‘Cause I’ve found no love to take and I have
no love to give
I find myself ignoring things that are not there
And things that are important, I don’t really
care
I wish that I could find the reason why I live
‘Cause I’ve found no love to take and I have
no love to give
I’ve been looking for so long for something that’s
not there
But if I ever find it I hope that I’m aware
I’m so tired of being alone
I guess that I’ll remain in this shell of misery
Until the time the reason for my being comes
to me
I know that I will exit from this state of mind
I’m in
‘Cause there is no love to take and I have no
love to give
For there is no love to take and I have no love
to give

Many Fish in the Sea
(by Eddie Holland and Norman
Whitfield)
Look here now, take my advice
And remember always in life
Into each heart some rain must fall
Though you love and you lose, you must stand
tall
'Cause we’ve all got to cry sometimes
I said, lie sometimes
Pull yourself together
No use crying forever
Because there's too many fish in the sea
Too many fish in the sea
I said, there’s short ones, tall ones, fine ones,
kind ones
Too many fish in the sea
Ah
My mother once told me something
And every word is true
Don't waste your time on a girl
Who doesn't love you
She'll only mislead you (oh yeah)
She’ll only grieve you (oh yeah)
Don't worry about her
You’re better off without her
All right
Too many fish in the sea (ah ha)
Too many fish in the sea
I said, there's short ones, tall ones, fine ones,
kind ones
Too many fish in the sea
Ah ah
If the fish isn't on your line
Bait your hook and keep on trying
Don't let her get you down
There's other girls around
There's too many fish in the sea, do you hear
me?
Too many fish in the sea
I said, there's short ones, tall ones, fine ones,
kind ones
Too many fish in the sea
Ah
Ah
I don't want nobody that don't want me
Too many fish in the sea
Ain't gonna love nobody that don’t love me, now
Too many fish in the sea
I don't need nobody that don't need me
Too many fish in the sea
Ain't gonna love nobody that don't love me, now
Too many fish in the sea
I don't want nobody that don't want me
Too many fish in the sea
More
(by Marcello Ciorciolini,
Norman Newell, Nino Oliviero, and Riziero Ortolani)
More than the greatest love the world has known
This is the love I give to you alone
More than the simple words I’ll try to say
I only live to love you more each day
More than you'd ever know
My arms long to hold you so
My life will be in your keeping
Waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping
Longer than always is a long, long time
But far beyond forever you'll be mine
I, I know I never lived before
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more
Yeah
Longer than always is a long, long time
But far beyond forever you'll be mine
I know I never lived before
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more
Longer than always is a long, long time
But far beyond forever you'll be mine
I know I never lived before
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more
Right
I know I never lived before
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more
One more time
I know I never lived before
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more
Nineteen
Fifty-Six
(by Gene Cornish and Dino Danelli)
Babe, you look so pretty
By my side you look so fine
If you think you got me going
Better go and change your mind (your mind, your
mind)
‘Cause the way that you’ve been acting
I think it’s time to draw that line (that line)
Yeah
I been good to you, baby
Why you treating me so bad?
I try to make you happy
Turn around, you make me sad (so sad, so sad)
So you’re gonna lose me, baby
Best man you ever had (you had)
Wa-hoo
Wow
Now I hope that you are happy
Though you lied to be my friend
I warned you many times
Now you’ve done it once again (again, again)
Now, girl, there’ll be no next time
‘Cause this time, this is the end (the end)
Woo-ah, yeah
Woo hoo
Love
is a Beautiful Thing
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward
Brigati Jr.)
(What you know about love?)
I know love is out of sight
(What you know about life?)
I think life can be so nice
If I find somebody
What you think will happen to me?
You’ll find that
Love is a beautiful thing (so beautiful)
It’ll teach her heart to sing (so beautiful)
It’s the kind of thing that makes you crazy (so
beautiful)
Makes you wanna swing
(How can you tell you got it?)
You feel it right in your heart
(When should I get on?)
It's never too soon to start
And I've gotta find somebody
To prove what you're telling me
You’ll see that love is a beautiful thing (so
beautiful)
It can teach your heart to sing (so beautiful)
It’s the kind of thing that makes you crazy (so
beautiful)
Make you wanna swing
Go get it now!
Meanwhile (hey)
(What you think about that?)
Well, I think it's kinda nice
(Love is really out of sight)
I'm glad I took your advice
'Cause I went and got somebody
To prove what you said was true
Now I know that love is a beautiful thing (so
beautiful)
It can teach your heart to sing (so beautiful)
It’s the kind of thing that makes you crazy (so
beautiful)
Makes you wanna swing
Love is a beautiful thing (ain’t it groovy) (so
beautiful)
Love is a beautiful thing (so beautiful)

It's Love
A
Girl Like You
(by Felix Cavaliere
and Edward Brigati Jr.)
I don't know what it's all about
But I feel I’ll soon find out
I am sure, never felt this secure
It's nothin' like I ever thought it would be
Someone opened up a door for me
A girl like you (I'm in love with)
A girl like you (I'm in love with)
Must be you that caused this feelin' in me (Must
be you)
You that fills me confidently (Must be you )
You that brings out the best in me
You, oh
Nobody but you
I don't know what it's all about
I can't begin to figure out
What to do so I’ll leave it to you
Only know that when you're away from me
Nothing satisfies the need in me
For a girl like you (I'm in love with)
A girl like you (I'm in love with)
Must be you that caused this feeling in me (Must
be you)
You that fills me confidently (Must be you)
You that brings out the best in me
You
Nobody, nobody
Oh, yeah!
Every time I'm holding you close to me
Trouble's gone, it's gone, I'm in ecstasy
With a girl (I'm in love with)
A girl like you (I'm in love with)
Someone to love me, yeah (I'm in love with)
Girl like you (I'm in love with)
Someone, someone to understand (I'm in love with)
Exactly like you, hon (I'm in love with)
Girl, girl, girl (I'm in love with)
Girl, girl, girl (I'm in love with)
Girl, girl
Find
Somebody
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward
Brigati Jr.)
You shouldn’t wear the face of sorrow
You must take ups and downs in stride
A brighter day might come tomorrow
Your dream-world door will open wide
You’d better go and find somebody to love
You’d better go and find somebody that needs
somebody
To love somebody like you
Now, if you think there’ll be no other
Just change your mind, it isn’t so
Open your heart and you’ll discover
You will see things you did not know
You’d better go and find somebody to love
You’d better go and find somebody that needs
somebody
To love somebody like you
Ha!
Ah
The shadow of a fallen angel
Will follow everywhere you go
If once the light of love is able
It will set all your dreams aglow
You’d better go and find somebody to love
You’d better go and find somebody that needs
somebody
To love somebody
I want somebody like you
I’m
So Happy Now
(by Gene Cornish)
I used to be a fool
And think that life was cruel and full of hate
But now I see
Things are not so bad (things are not so bad)
If only I had had someone to hold my hand like
you
I’d do it then
I’m so happy now
You changed my life somehow
I’m so happy now
And now that I am free
From all that misery and I can smile again
‘Cause you
Came into my life (came into my life)
Said you’d be my wife and made me realize that
life
Is wonderful
And
I’m so happy now
You changed my life somehow
I’m so happy now
I’m so happy now
You changed my life somehow
I’m so happy now
I’m so happy now
You changed my life somehow
I’m so happy now
Sueño
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward
Brigati Jr.)
Note: "Sueño" is the Spanish word for "dream"
Toqué ese guitarra*
I feel a strange, exciting thing about to be
I have a tingling feeling deep inside of me
I never felt the way I’m feeling
I never thought I’d see
Everything seems so right for me
Just floating free
Exploding endlessly
I feel a strange, exciting thing about to be
I can’t remember ever feeling half as free
I keep dreaming dreams I’m dreaming
Tripping along merrily
Only thing needed is someone to come along
And trip away with me
Nothing has ever mattered quite as much as it
does now
All of my thoughts are scattering and touching
what I think is right somehow
I feel a strange, exciting thing about to be
I have been flying high above reality
Ah
Ah
Ah
*English translation: "Play that guitar"
How Can I Be Sure
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward
Brigati Jr.)
How can I be sure
In a world that's constantly changing?
How can I be sure
Where I stand with you?
Whenever I
Whenever I’m away from you
I want to die
'Cause you know I want to stay with you
How do I know?
Maybe you're trying to use me
Flying too high can confuse me
Touch me but don't take me down
Whenever I
Whenever I’m away from you
My alibi is telling people I don't care for you
Maybe I'm just hanging around
With my head up, upside down
It's a pity
I can't seem to find someone
Who's as pretty and lovely as you
How can I be sure
I really, really, really want to know
I really, really, really want to know
Hey
Oh
Oh
How's the weather?
Whether or not we're together
Together we'll see it much better
I love you, I love you forever
You know where I can be found
How can I be sure
In a world that's constantly changing?
How can I be sure?
I'll be sure with you
Groovin'
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward
Brigati Jr.)
Groovin´ on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn´t get away too soon
I can´t imagine anything that´s better
The world is ours whenever we´re together
There ain´t a place I´d like to be
instead of
Movin´ down a crowded avenue
Doin’ anything we like to do
There´s always lots of things that we can
see
We can be anyone we like to be
With all those happy people we could meet
Just groovin´ on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn´t get away too soon
No, no, no, no
Ah
Ah
Ah
We´ll keep on spending sunny days this way
We´re going to talk and laugh our time away
I feel it coming closer day by day
Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly
Groovin´ (reelin’ and rollin’) on a Sunday
afternoon
Really couldn´t get away too soon
No, no, no, no
Uh huh, uh huh
Groovin´, yeah
Groovin’
If You Knew
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward
Brigati Jr.)
If you knew just how I feel
Then you'd know my love is real
If you knew just what I do
You would know my love is true
My love is growing stronger
It really can't wait much longer
Got to know if you're gonna
Play around
Or let me down
If you knew just how I feel
Then you'd know my love is real
If you knew just what I do
You would know my love is true
Is there a way to prove it?
Can't even budge or move it
But I refuse to lose it
So let me know
I won't let go
If you knew just how I feel
Then you'd know my love is real
If you knew just what I do
You would know my love is true
If ever you should care to
You know that I'll be there to
Share anything you dare to
You've got me
Can't you see?
Can't you see?
If you knew just how I feel
Then you'd know my love is real
If you knew just what I do
You would know my love is true
My love is true (My love is true)
My love is true (My love is true)
My love is true (My love is true)
My love is true (My love is true)
My love is true (My love is true) (I love)
My love is true (My love is true) (I love)
My love is true
I Don't Love You Anymore
(by Gene Cornish)
Don't come knocking on my front door
Thinking things are like before
I don't love you anymore
Today the world is looking fine
I finally found some peace of mind
'Cause now you see I realize
Your love was only a disguise
Don't come knocking on my front
door
Thinking things are like before
I don't love you anymore
Remembering how it used to be
And how you made a fool of me
But now it's over and it's done
It's like my life had just begun
Don't come knocking on my front
door
Thinking things are like before
I don't love you anymore
Don't come knocking on my front
door
Thinking things are like before
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
You
Better Run
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward
Brigati Jr.)
What you trying do to my heart?
What you trying do to my heart?
You go around telling lies
You're fooling 'round with the other guys
What you trying do to my heart?
You better run
You better hide
You better leave
From my side
What you trying do to my soul?
What you trying do to my soul?
Everything I had was yours
And now I'm closing all the doors
What you trying do to my soul?
You better run (run, baby)
You better hide (hide, baby)
You better leave
From my side
Yeah
I love you, girl
I love you so
Can't you see it?
Don't you know?
I can't stand your alibis
You're telling lies
They drive me wild
Mercy
You know I can't stand it no more
Oh
What are you trying do to my head?
Yeah, what you trying do to my
head?
Now I gotta draw that line
You're not gonna take my mind
What are you trying do to my head?
(You better) you better run (oh,
I mean it)
You better hide (go away from me)
You better leave (oh)
From my side
I can't stand anymore
Leave me alone, woman
Go away
Ah, too much
Have mercy
I need
I need love
A Place in the Sun
(by Ronald N. Miller and Bryan Wells)
Like a long, lonely stream
I keep on running towards a dream
Moving on
Moving on
Like a branch on a tree
I keep reaching to be free
Moving on (moving on)
Moving on (moving on)
'Cause there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope, hope for everyone
Where my poor restless heart, it 's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
I've gotta find me a place in the sun
Like an old, dusty road
I get weary from the load
Moving on (moving on)
Moving on (moving on)
Like this tired, tired, troubled
earth
I've been rolling since my birth
Moving on (moving on)
Moving on (moving on)
And I'll tell you again
'Cause there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for everyone
Where my poor restless heart, it's gotta run
Tell them, there's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
I've gotta find me a place in the sun
You know, when times are bad
And you're feeling sad
I want you to always remember
That there's a place, it's up in the sun, yeah
And you know there's hope, hope for everyone
That's where my poor restless heart, it's gotta run
You know, there's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
I've gotta find me a place in the sun
Whoa, why, oh,
Oh, yeah
Whoa, uh huh,
Huh uh huh
Yes, there's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Oh you know, you know, that I
I just have to find me a place in the sun
It's
Love
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward
Brigati Jr.)
It's love
Oh, what a crazy feeling
You got my heart reeling
They say it's the weather
But I know much better
(It's love) Makes me feel this way
(It's love) It's more than I can say
(It's love) I know it
I'll show it
I love it
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, what you got me seeing
What I see, I'm believing
There's no doubt about it
I couldn't live without it
(It's love) That's all right with me
(It's love) It's where
I wanna be
(It's love) I'll take
it, I won't break it
(It's love) I'll make
it
'Cause I love you
Do do do do da da
Do do do do da da
Ah
Do do do do da da
Do do do do da da da da
Ah
Oh, what a wild sensation
Multiple revelations
Don't even need explaining
You'll never see me complaining
'Bout love -- I'm in all the way
(It's love) That's where
I'm gonna stay
(It's love) I'll try
it
Won't fight it
(It's love) I'll buy it
'Cause I love you
(It's love)
(It's love) Love you
(It's love)
(It's love)
It's love
Ah

Once upon a dream
Ah
Whoa
Easy rollin' (ah)
Ain't no need to hurry at all
Mmm
It's just a special morning when I wake yawning
And sun is shining
I feel like I've been dreaming and freelance scheming
On colored rainbows
Everything's fine
As long as it's
(Mmm) Easy rollin'
You never see me worry no more
No, no
Don't have a care or worry, no need to hurry
For relaxation
Turning in all my hassles and building castles (easy)
For my vacation
(Easy) It's gonna be nice now
Just keeping it
Easy rollin' (Mmm)
No need to hurry at all
Believe it, you don't have to worry
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
(Easy) mmm, no
I'm living a dream a minute, deep down within it
My life's a flower
Don't think that I would change or rearrange
A single hour
Everything's fine now
It's got to be
Easy rollin' (mmm)
Ah
Don't you hurry at all (don't worry)
Don't you worry no more (easy)
Don't have to hurry home (mmm)
Keep it easy
Rainy Day
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward
Brigati Jr.)
note: lyrics in italics are absent
from the single
Most everyone remembers a special season
As for mine, I have the perfect reason
Spring is my season
I think my reason is because
Spring is full of rainy, rainy days
A rainy day
The perfect time for romance
A rainy day
The perfect time for romance
And you
Curtains of raindrops falling
People in doorways stalling
Strange faces brought together
Chased in by stormy weather
Meeting a lovely face
So beautifully wrapped in lace
Made me much more aware
The rain was there to bring her near me
A rainy day
The perfect time for romance
A rainy day
The perfect time for romance
And you
Suddenly, we start walking
Really no need for talking
Meeting her eyes of splendor
She smiles and I surrender
Hardly can keep from knowing
Just by the way she's glowing
We're both out in the rain
We kiss and then I hold her near me
A rainy day
The perfect time for romance
A rainy day
The perfect time for romance
And you
I would be so contented
If all of my time were spent with
Knowing that she'd be there
So I could care and keep her near me
A rainy day
The perfect time for romance
A rainy day
The perfect time for romance
And you
And you (you know, I just love walking in the rain)
I'll take my every morning from a dream of peace and
love
We'll share each day, be it rain or shine
Together
Please Love Me
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward
Brigati Jr.)
(Please) love me
(Please) mm now, love me
Everywhere I turn I find
You are always on my mind
Everything I seem to say
Ends up in the same old way
(Please) oh now, love me
(Please) I want you to love me
What I feel, I can't explain
What is spring without the rain?
Missing that would be shame
Only you are left to blame
Oh, no
All I know is yours if you would take it
Make believe it's ours and we can make it
Now give a little, understand
Reach out for a lonely hand
'Cause this could be our only chance
Oh
(Please) mm now, love me
(Please) please, please love me
Give me all you have to share
Without you I couldn't care
Make me happy when I'm down
When I'm gone, don't play around
Ah
Oh
(Please) mm now, love me
(Please) please love me
Everywhere I turn I find
You are always on my mind
Everything I seem to say
Ends up in the same old way
(Please) mm-hmm, love me
(Please) darling, love me
What I feel, I can't explain
What is spring without the rain?
Missing that would be shame
Only you are left to blame
Sure to blame, yeah
Do you understand?
It's Wonderful
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward
Brigati Jr.)
It's wonderful
It’s wonderful
Tell you a story
May seem hard to believe
And kind of deceiving
All of my glory
Made me much more aware of the problem we share
If we unite, it'll all turn out right
It's wonderful -- you can feel it believe me
It’s wonderful -- everything'll be right
It’s wonderful -- I'm gonna take you with me
Every awareness
Seems to bring us together, storm in the weather
Being enlightened is like
Choosing the road in which you wish to go
Planting a seedling and watching it grow
It's wonderful -- you can feel it believe me
It's wonderful -- everything'll be right
It’s wonderful -- I think I'm going, going, going, going,
going, going, going
People keep happy
You'll be happier yet, others help you forget
When you are happy
Every place feels like home 'cause you're never alone
There's much to be said but it's all in your head
It’s wonderful -- ain't it groovy
It’s wonderful
It’s wonderful -- you can feel it, believe me
It's wonderful -- everything'll be right, right, right
It's wonderful -- I wanna take you with me
It’s wonderful -- it's gonna be right (bye, bye)
It's wonderful -- Gonna
ride with my baby
It's wonderful
It's wonderful
It's wonderful
It's wonderful
It's wonderful
I'm Gonna Love You
(by Gene Cornish)
I'm gonna love you
Any way I can
I'm gonna love you
Any way I can
I've been waiting much too long
Now I've got the chance
I've got you in my arms where you belong
There's just one thing I can't resist
I've got to have another kiss
This heart of mine is beating awful strong
I can't stand it
I'm gonna love you
Any way I can
'Cause I've got to prove to you that I'm your man
I'm gonna love you
Any way I can
I'll show you if you come and take my hand
I've been grooving on you, girl
For such a long, long time
I just can't seem to put you from my mind
There's no reason for delaying
If you're digging what I'm saying
All I need is just a little sign
Please believe me
I'm gonna love you
Any way I can
I'm gonna love you
Any way I can

My Hawaii
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward
Brigati Jr.)
Oh Hawaii
My Hawaii
Skies are blue
The sea’s a thousand hues of green
In Hawaii
Waves keep breaking
In each rise and fall
They call
For me
Oh Hawaii
Island Maui
I’ll return to fantasy and moon
All the people
On these islands
Make it more adored than paradise
In bloom
There are no words to describe what is felt in your heart
When your heart has already seen the magic of all the
islands
On these islands
Called Hawaii
Man awakes
To find this dream divine
Oh Hawaii
My Hawaii
I’ll return to stay and spend my life
All my days
In Hawaii
Oh
Oh Hawaii
Oh
My
World
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward
Brigati Jr.)
Ooh
Ah
Oh oh oh, my world
It's getting much better
There's laughter instead of
Tears and sorrow
My world
Really is something
It's making my heart sing
It keeps my smiling
I could never change my feelings
'Cause I wouldn't be happy (you must understand me)
Couldn't ever go on seeing the change, hey now
My world
Is always exciting
Should be inviting you
To come with me to
My world
Rolls along nicely
Sometimes precisely and free
I would never change what's coming
Must believe me, honey (it's too much, honey)
Shouldn't have to care or bother
Just to go on farther (you know you've gotta)
So come on through
Ah
Whoa, my world
It's always a party
Love everybody and everything in
My world
There's lots of people
Won't you come with me? (baby, won't you come?)
Won't you come with me? (do do do do do)
Won't you come with me?
Lo lo la la
Lo lo la la (everybody come)
Baby won't you come?
Silly
Girl
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward
Brigati Jr.)
Silly girl
Don't throw this love away
Silly girl
Don't let it die and fade
It's not a toy
You're throwing aside
Bound to destroy me
Maybe I'm trying too hard to win your love
And maybe it isn't there
Maybe it's just a crazy feeling that I couldn't control
'Cause it wouldn't be fair
Silly girl
Can't turn me off this way
Listen, silly girl
Leading my heart astray
It isn't fair
I find despair
You go on carefree
Maybe it's not my time to find a girl
And maybe I shouldn't look
Possibly there's no reason to
Ah
Maybe I shouldn't try to understand
And maybe I needn't care
What if I let it go on freely
Keep repeating, you're not deceiving me
Silly girl
There's nothing more to say
Listen, silly girl
You'll go on anyway
If you're concerned
There I will be
You can return
Back to me
Won't I ever learn?
Singin' the Blues Too Long
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward
Brigati Jr.)
You've been singin' the blues too long
Why don't you try and find a different song?
Mm-hmm
Been singin' 'bout the blues too long, now
Go on and get yourself a brand new song
Hey
You know it's time to make some changes, baby
Changing all the rights from wrongs
You been lying awake all night

See the love and the beautiful things that the Lord has
put here for us to
Groove on, yeah
It's easy once you try, baby
All you got to do is look inside
Whoa (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Sattva
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward
Brigati Jr.)
Note: "The word sattva is Sanskrit.
In ancient Indian philosophical traditions, it represents the energy
of goodness, purity, truth, harmony and happiness." From http://www.sunan.com/sattva.htm
This is love, this is love, this is love I feel
In my heart, in my soul, and I know it's real
It's a love, it's a love, it's a love I feel
It's pure and real
If you look in your heart you will surely see
Of a peaceful and tranquil harmony
If you want in your heart to be really free
The light will shine on you
You should see how it feels, yeah (see how it feels)
Walking down the flowered street
All the colors melting softly at my feet (you
should see how it feels, yeah)
Seems to me that everywhere
There's a glow of life that makes the air smell sweet
This is love, this is love, this
is love I feel
In my heart, in my soul, and I know it's real
It's a love, it's a love, it's a love I feel
It's pure and real
There's a gift that's for all if you understand
Just relax and think of a perfect man
Deep within everyone is a love supreme
Close your eyes and see
You should see how it feels, yeah
Flowing as a breath of air
To cross the pasture meadows in the sky (see how it feels)
Watch the sun rise up and flare
Causing joy within my heart and in my eyes (you should
see how it feels, yeah)
Bluebirds, sign of happiness
The dove of love keeps circling high above
Ah
This is love, this is love,
this is love I feel
In my heart, in my soul, and I know it's real
It's a love, it's a love, it's a love I feel
Oh, love
Oh
Ah
Finale: Once Upon a Dream
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward
Brigati Jr.)
note: lyrics in italics are absent
from the mono version
Once upon a dream
Time stood still
In that peaceful dream
Man was blessed with will
That faith would reach desire
And teach his mind to rest and keep inspired
Once upon a dream
Now I see
It must go on
All fears have gone
I’m finally free
Once upon a dream
Love was born
And so if dreams come true
I know they’ll only grow ever so high
Once upon a dream
Ever more
Happiness and peace
Oh
It must go on
All fears have gone
I’m finally free
Yeah
TIME PEACE
A Beautiful Morning
A
Beautiful Morning
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward
Brigati Jr.)
It's a beautiful morning, ah
I think I'll go outside for a while
And just smile
Just take in some clean fresh air, boy
Ain't no sense in staying inside
If the weather's fine and you've got the time
It's your chance to wake up and plan another brand new
day (either way)
It's a beautiful morning, oh (ah)
Each bird keeps singing his own song
So long
I've got to be on my way, now
Ain't no fun just hanging around
I've got to cover ground, you couldn't keep me down
It just ain't no good if the sun shines
When you're still inside (shouldn't hide)
Still inside (shouldn't hide)
Still inside (shouldn't hide)
Ah, ah, oh
(Do do waaa)
(Do do waaa)
There will be children with robins and flowers
Sunshine caresses each new waking hour
Seems to me that people keep seeing
More and more each day (gotta say)
Lead the way (it's okay)
Brand new day (gotta say)
It's okay (lead the way)
Brand new day (gotta say)
Lead the way
Ah, ah, oh
(Do do waaa)
Ah, oh, oh (do do waaa)
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh (do do waaa)
Oh (do do waaa)

America the Beautiful
(by Felix Cavaliere)
O Lord, please may I talk with Thee?
People crying in the land of the free
Something's wrong, this is not what they taught me
It's America the beautiful, my country 'tis of Thee
It says here in the Constitution
Of the rights of every man
And it don't take law and order just to make me understand
If the minds of men refuse to see our equality
Then it takes some demonstrating and a lot of faith in Thee
In this world of materiality
The dollar bill is as far as people see
If we lose the war on poverty
Then America's not beautiful, is my country still of Thee?
We all don't want a revolution but to make all mankind see
There's a better way of being here with peace and harmony
So I ask you, Lord, to send some help to our country
So it once more can be beautiful and ring out praise to Thee
O Lord, oh may we live to see
All the dreams of the men who died for me
And all the young that have been waiting patiently
For America the beautiful, my country 'tis of thee
A holy man once told that you reap exactly what you sow
So I think I'll plant some love and peace and wait for it
to grow
In the meantime I can help someone who's fallen to his knees
Got to make all men your brother if you want the whole world
free
O Lord, forgive those who don't see
They don't know how a world's supposed to be
Peace and love and a life of liberty
In America the beautiful, my country 'tis of thee
Me
and My Friends
(by Gene Cornish)
Me and my friends are gonna say what
must be known
Me and my friends are gonna show what must be shown
We got together with one purpose in our mind
To let the truth out which is often left behind
Me and my friends are not afraid of what we say
The word "reality" gets bigger every day
And if people are afraid of the truth
It seems the only ones who want it are the youth
There's so much hatred and confusion
And heads are filled with disillusion
Me and my friends are gonna shout it loud and clear
To all the people who think young enough to hear
The time has come to take a stand for unity
And make this world the kind of place it's meant to be
Amen!!
Any
Dance'll Do
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward Brigati Jr.)
Come on, Eddie, get right out here
And show us that new dance that you do
Somebody calls your name (yeah)
There's music playing, you're feeling strange
Somebody takes your hand
When you start moving you'll understand
You've got to
Tell me what's the dance to do
Any dance you choose
Tell me what's the dance to do
Most any one'll do
Tell me what's the dance to do
By the way you move
You probably can dance all night
All right
Someone comes up with one
It's got you thinking it can't be done
You might as well take a chance
The worst can happen, you'll have a new dance
So try
Tell me what's that dance you do
It ain't no special thing
Tell me what's that dance you do
Go ahead and do your thing
Tell me what's that dance you do
Once you get started
You can probably go on all night
No, oh, roe, no
It doesn't matter
You dance how you want to
You feel what you want to
You're free as you want to be
Eddie, do that dance you do
You really, really want me to?
Will you do that dance you do?
You know I will for you
Eddie, do that dance you do
You just give me lots of room
I'll probably go on all night
I want to go on all night
I've got to go on
You really want me to dance?
Sure do, come on
Eddie, do that dance you do
I really, really love to dance
Tell me what's that dance you do
You just let me have a chance
Eddie, do that dance you do
Just give me a little bit of room, now
Tell me what's that dance you do (get the feeling)
Yes, I will for you
Eddie, do that dance you do (come on, Eddie, do that dance)
Look Around
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward Brigati Jr.)
Look around
Look around
See the wonderful world on the ground
Look around
Look around
Everything is upside down
Bigotry, hate and fear
Got ten million votes this year
But law and order won
Tune in to the royal scene
Sex is Queen, King nicotine
Rule in the land of the free
So look around
Look around
Maybe then you'll understand
Look around, you got to
Look around
Maybe you can lend a hand
Violence on the TV screen
Guns and Ammo magazine
Painting pretty pictures for you
"Hello"'s a word for telephones
Bigger locks on smaller homes
Panthers and pussycats, too
Uh huh, look around
Look around
How much longer can it really go on?
Look around, look, look
Look around
Wake up, put your head back on
It seems there is nothing to bring us together
To believe in with all of your heart
We've all got that something that's deep down inside of us
Love's not a dirty word
That's just the way it's heard
Let me prove it to you
Look around
Look around
In all the world's cities and towns
Look around
Look around
The old walls are tumbling down
There's a new way of living to be found
Every flower, each tree, and each sound
Tells you 'bout the love that's around
And you can find it
Look around
It's down inside
Look around
A Ray of Hope
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward Brigati Jr.)
Most people got soul, if
they want to try
Let love be your goal, and let it fly
'Cause it's easy to hate, to draw a line
But erring is human, forgiving's divine
I know a lot of people who think like me
That this world could be a place that's filled with harmony
First, there's a lot of things we've got to rearrange
Put an end to hate and lies, so peace can come and truth
shall reign
As long as there is a ray of hope
Lord, I don't mind going out and doing my work
Light up the way to brotherhood
Help us to make his dream understood
Sometimes the road gets a little bit rough
Your strength is all gone, you've had enough
But there's people who win without making fists
Our world won't survive 'less we think like this
I can't imagine any greater need, no, no
Than to treat each other just like we'd like to be
It's a gas just knowing what is yet to come
Not unless we got together, got to get together one by
one
As long as there is a ray of hope
Lord, I don't mind going out and doing my work
Light up the way to brotherhood
I got to keep on searching
Gonna keep on searching 'til I found out
(Keep on searching) 'til
I found out
(Keep on searching) gonna
take little look way down inside
Got to find out, Lord, why I'm alive, yeah
We'll pray for a day when all men are free, yeah
And people can live like they're meant to be
Meanwhile, it's all up to you and me
Start working together towards this dream
As long as there is a ray of hope
Lord, I don't mind going out and doing my work
Light up the way to brotherhood (the way to brotherhood)
Help us to make his dream, make it understood
As long as there is a ray of hope (just a little hope)
I've got to wait my turn, to wait my turn 'til I can vote
As long as there is a ray of hope (give me, give me hope,
yeah)
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call
retreat
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment
seat
Oh, be swift, my soul
Island of Love
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward Brigati Jr.)
Have
you ever been on the Island of Love, yeah yeah
In love with somebody sent down from above?
There's people smiling at you everywhere (everywhere)
The smell of sweet flowers filling up the air (filling up the
air)
Birds singing love songs so tenderly
It's like being together in the Garden of Eden
Loving somebody gives your life a new meaning
Have you ever been on the Island of Love, yeah yeah
In love with somebody sent down from above?
Sun shining brightly every single day (every day)
Happy laughing children all along your way (all along your
way)
Ain't a bit of sadness nowhere to be found
You're a touched-off rocket set to leave the ground
Nothing in this world is gonna keep you down
Uh huh huh
Oh
All it takes is a hand to hold (hand to hold)
You'll feel like a flower ready to unfold (ready
to unfold)
Sit her down, take a look in her eyes
Boat leaving for paradise
Hearts together, let your soul entwine
If you've never been on the Island of Love, come on
Yeah
I'll tell you how to get there
All you really need is someone
Come on
Have you ever been on the Island?
Yeah, you know I've on the Island
Have
you ever been on the Island?
Yeah, yeah
Have
you ever been?
Yeah
Yeah
Oh
On an island
Let me take you to the Island
Of love
Of Course
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward Brigati Jr.)
Got me thinking you're cheating
on me (hey hey hey)
You've been talking with another man (hey hey
hey)
You could run around, now, baby
Of course you can, my baby
I guess you can
See you when you're walking by, my love (hey
hey hey)
You and him just holding hands (hey hey
hey)
Ask me if I'm hurting, baby (are you hurting?)
Of course I am
You know I am
Baa
Baby, I never felt like this before
Mm, I never thought that I'd have you hurt me
Treat me badly, and then desert me
Goes to show just how life can be
You can't tell me no stories now (hey hey hey)
They wouldn't sound so good (hey hey
hey)
Wonder should you call me, baby (should you call me?)
Of course you should, my baby
You know you should, oh oh
Mm, I never thought that I'd have you hurt me
Goes to show just how life can be
You can't tell me no stories now (hey hey hey)
They wouldn't sound so good (hey hey hey)
I wonder should you call me, baby (should you call me?)
Of course you should, my baby
You know you should, my baby
Of course you should, no oh
Of course you should
Love
Was So Easy to Give
(by Gene Cornish)
I still remember the days
When in our youth we were one
Happy in so many ways
Laughing and so full of fun
Never once stopping to care
How life was changing, so unaware
Life was so easy to live
Love was so easy to give
As I look back on my youth
I see all the things that I had
'Bout learning the meaning of truth
And love from my mom and my dad
Now that I'm grown up I find
My heart is not changing, it's only my mind
Life was so easy to live
Love was so easy to give
Mm mm mm
Mm mm mm
Mm
Now that I'm grown up I find
My heart is not changing, it's only my mind
Life was so easy to live
And love was so easy to give
Mm mm mm
Mm mm mm
Mm mm mm
Mm mm
People Got
to Be Free
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward Brigati Jr.)
All the world over, so easy to
see
People everywhere just wanna be free
Listen, please listen, that's the way it should
be
Peace in the valley, people got to be free
Ah ha yeah
Ah ha yeah
You should see,
What a lovely, lovely world this could be
If everyone learned to live together, ah

Seems to me
Such an easy, easy thing should be
Why can't you and me learn to love one another?
No, happin' now
All the world over, so easy to see, huh
People everywhere just wanna be free (wanna
be free)
I can't understand, it's so simple to me (it
is)
People everywhere just got to be free
Ah ha yeah
Ah ha yeah
If there's a man
Who is down and needs a helping hand
All it takes is you to understand and to pull him through,
ah ha
Seems to me
We got to solve it individually, uh-huh
And I'll do unto you what you do to me
Said no oh huh
There'll be shouting from the mountains on out to sea (out
to the sea, now)
No two ways about it, people have to be free (they got to be
free)
If you ask me my opinion, my opinion will be, ah-ha
It's a natural situation for a man to be free
Get right on board now
Huh
Huh
Oh yeah
Oh, what a feeling just come over me
It's enough to move a mountain, make a blind man see (believe
I can see)
Everybody's shouting, come on, let's go see
Peace in the valley, now we all can be free
Ah ha yeah
Look, you see that train over there?
Now, that's the train of freedom
It's about to arrive any minute now
You know it's been long, long overdue
Look out 'cause its coming right on through
Huh huh, yeah yeah
Huh huh, yeah yeah
Baby I'm Blue
(by Felix Cavaliere)
Baby,
I'm blue
Baby, I'm blue
And lonely sometimes
You don't have to tell me, oh no
'Cause I feel the same way, too
Like the clock just ticks on, uh huh
Nobody cares what happens to you
But let me say that there's another way
For life to be a dream come true (and in the meantime)
Baby, I'm blue
Baby, I'm blue
Sometimes I get lonely, yeah
It was a lovely, a lovely story, uh huh
But now turn to chapter two
My heart is cold, it's cold and empty
Living in a world without you
And now I know that, win or lose
You only have yourself (nobody else) to turn to
And darling, darling, darling, I'm so blue
Baby,
I'm blue
Baby, I'm (so) blue
Ah, oh
Never, never, never before did I feel so much to bear
But I'm gonna make it on through
Baby,
I'm blue
Baby, I'm blue
You know, sometimes the way gets mighty rough
You got to keep on and keep on and keep on and, uh
Baby,
I'm blue
Baby, I'm blue (keep on, keep on, don't you ever stop, no,
no, no, no)
Heaven
(by Felix Cavaliere)
Sometimes, baby, when you're really down
There just don't seem to be a ray of hope around
And everybody that you meet kind of wears a frown
It's cold and lonely in the heart of town
Got to tell you all that
There's a place that's called heaven
Don't you ever forget
Now, once I heard about heaven, yeah
I'm gonna get there yet
Some days you laugh and some days you cry
Sometimes it feels like the world has passed you right by
But everybody's got to find a peaceful place to hide
If you're out looking, take a look inside
And I think you'll find that
There's a place that's called heaven
You might think that's kind of square, oh oh yeah
If you don't believe in heaven, yeah
You ain't never been there
They'll try to bring you down to their way of thinking, yeah
But don't you do it, no no, don't you let it get by (don't
let it by)
A little voice inside will tell you
Exactly what you're gonna do
Don't be a fool
Ooh yeah
You don't have to go looking near or far
'Cause you can find happiness standing right where you are
Just open up the windows that are in your heart
And let the light shine, then your life will start
Please believe it that
There's a place that's called heaven
It's filled with joy and peace, whoa oh yeah
And once you get a look at heaven, yeah
You'll find the love that you seek
When all the world is falling down
You'll find a world filled with peace and love and joy
For every girl and boy
And all your troubles will cease
You know, somebody said to keep on pushing
'Cause there's a change that's got to come
She said, "Thank the Lord"
And every day I thank you, Lord
For all the stars and all the seas
And all the birds and all the bees
It's heaven
Whoo
Oh oh
Yeah, oh oh

Things
ain’t like they used to be
Love’s the only thing I see
Wings of life are taking flight
From the darkness to the light
I used to try and fly away upon the flood of dreams
Tasting all the good and bad from on the serpent’s tree
Little ones remind us of a place we used to be
Echoes of the ever land, discover who you really am
Rivers rushing to the sea
Love is flowing endlessly
Drops of rain are never lost
Soul and spirit to its source
Yes, I saw you in a fairy tale, or was it just a dream
With white and yellow jasmine trees, time a mere machine
Flashes of a New Year light up a stellar sky
Love is really everywhere, to see it is to fly
Things ain’t like they used to be
If you want to you can see
Words of love on chestnut trees
Written by sweet memories
While we are riding on the avenues of time
The gentle bird of life drinks from the cups of wine
He waits until we’re ready for the Prince’s gift of love
Things ain’t like they used to be
Love’s the only thing I see
Wings of life are taking flight
From the darkness to the light
Hey!
The secret mirror photographs shining in your eyes
I’m married to the universe, my brother is the sky
Stars can see to make a wish and hearts with can fly
So come with me and see, my love, so we can never die
Rivers rushing to the sea
Love is flowing endlessly
Drops of rain are never lost
Soul and spirit to the source (never, never, never lost)
Things ain’t like they used to be
Love’s the only thing I see
Whoo
Things ain’t like they used to be
Love’s the only thing I see
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Things ain’t like they used to be
Love’s the only thing I see
Oh, yeah, yeah
Things ain’t like they used to be
Love’s the only thing I see
Things ain’t like they used to be
Love’s the only thing I see
Things ain’t like they used to be
Love’s the only thing I see
I'd Like to Take
You Home
(by Felix Cavaliere)
Oh ah yeah
Mm-hmm
I'd like to take you home
And make you happy for the rest of your life, I tell you
I'd like to take you home
So we both can live as man and wife
And if you'd think for a minute of life with me in it
That would really be fine
I’ll tell you right now
That's how it's gotta be
I'd like to take you home
So we could raise a little family, I tell you
A boy for you, maybe have a girl or two for me
And if sometimes there's a quarrel
We'll solve it tomorrow
'Cause life's much too short without love, mm-hmm
I’ll tell you right now
That's how it's gotta be
We could be happy just having each other
Knowing our love's meant to be
And as the years bring our joys and our heartaches
Love will grow stronger, you'll see
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
'Cause a man and a woman is springtime in blossom
And love of my life I need you, mm-hmm
That's how it's gotta be
I'd like to take you home (really like to take you home)
Come on home
I'd like to take you home (really like to take
you home)
Hey hey, come on home
I'd like to take you home (really like to take you home)
Come on home
I'd like to take you home (really like to take
you home)
Come on home
I'd like to take you home (really like to take
you)
Remember Me
(by Gene Cornish)
Remember me? I'm the one that taught you how to laugh
When all your friends just up'd and walked away
It seems by now you've gone and torn that memory in half
Now I see the kind of games you play
Don't think twice on what you say and who you may offend
I know you're not the kind to concentrate
On saying something nice to me if only just pretend
You'd rather use your mouth to aggravate
You get your satisfaction out of hurting me
I know you'd love to see me crawl
But if I get the nerve I’m gonna split on you
Then you won't ever get to me at all
If I'm ever in a bind and need a helping hand
I know that I can always count you out
If friends are who you turn to when nobody gives a damn
Then friends like you I'd rather do without
I'm Blue
(by Felix Cavaliere and Edward Brigati
Jr.)
I'm blue, so blue
And I just don't know What
I should do
Yes, I'm blue, it's true
That might sound sad, but it's so true
Sometimes my life gets me so down
You know, it's even got me thinking
That I don't want to be around
That's why I'm blue
Boo hoo
I'm blue
I'm blue, what can I do?
It keeps me asking myself, “What's the use?”
Well, I'm blue, stone blue
Sometimes it's so hard, but you know you must get through
Seems the sun's going down
And it’s getting pretty late
There ain't nothing left for me
All I could do is wait
‘Til it's all been through
Boo hoo
I'm blue
You know, you don't see nothing, no no
You don't want to see so
I guess my good eyesight's
Been the trouble with me
But it's true, it's sad but true
I’m so blue
No
there ain’t no thing without trouble
All you gotta do is slip and fall just one time
Still I can't get used to spend my life through
Stumbling down the line
I’m blue
And I just can't seem to get myself together
I’m blue
And when you talk about stormy weather
It rains most every, every, every day
Yeah
I'm blue, I'm stone blue
And I don't know what to do
I just can't seem to get myself up and out
I'm blue
I'm blue
You hear them talk about stormy weather
Well, it's raining
It's raining all over
Stop and Think
(by Felix Cavaliere)
Stop and think
What to do with life
Stop and think
How a little seed grows into a tall tree
Wind and water can make a mountain sand
Know
If you seek, you'll find
Love
Dancing with eternity
Touching everything you see
Laughing, loving merrily
Won't you come along and see?
Yeah
Stop and think
Truly, what's your name?
Stop and think
Man is like a farmer reaping what he's sown, now
Woman is Mother Earth giving love and birth
Know
If you seek, you'll find
Love
Be a star up in the sky
Close your eyes, begin to fly
Let your body flow away
Feel the truth yourself today
Be with everyone
Love is everyone
Stop and think
I am really life
Stop and think
What makes up a man also makes his brother
Though you have a new name, are we not the same?
Stop and think
Stop and think
Stop and think
Stop and think
Temptation's
'Bout to Get Me
(by James Leon Diggs)
Another day is just about gone, now
Lord, and still I wait, mm
You'll never know how much
I try to keep
My faith and good humor
She won't write or phone, no
Seems as if she's never coming home
But in all my faith
The love has gone (it's just about gone)
You'll hear me cry
Temptation's 'bout to get me (I can feel it in my heart)
Temptation's 'bout to get me (yeah)
Temptation's 'bout to get me
All my strength
Will come tumbling down
All my friends, they seem to understand (you know why)
They feel the same as I do
She's your love (love, love) and you know
Her very life
Is you
The days go I by, I get weaker
People, my heart was strong
But she made me weak, whoa
I know, somehow I know
That if my little heart (yeah)
Gets any weaker
You'll hear me cry
Temptation's 'bout to get me (tugging at my
heart, now)
Temptation's 'bout to get me (yeah)
Temptation's 'bout to get me
All my strength
Will come tumbling down
Temptation's 'bout to get me (oh my darling, you
know how I need you)
Temptation's 'bout to get me (yeah) (oh)
Temptation's 'bout to get me
All my strength
Will come tumbling down
Temptation's 'bout to get me (I can feel it tugging
at my heart, now)
Temptation's 'bout to get me (it's catching up on me)
Temptation's 'bout to get me (ooh ooh)
Temptation's 'bout to get me (you know I need you,
never going to leave you)
Temptation's 'bout to get me (talk to me, baby)
Nubia
(by Felix Cavaliere)
Oh, Nubia, Nubia, Nubia, Nu
The word is love to me
Your beauty and the gentle magic
Of your soul live here in my memory
Golden evenings in pink white veils
Sounds of the river telling ancient tales
Dreams return me to you
Fire glows in deep blue
Oh, Nubia, Nubia, Nubia, Nu
The ringing in my ear
As I wander through another life
In search of someone soft and sweet
I once held near
Time glances the other way
Life's sweet shadow makes the night his day
Brings me closer to you
Paints my heart a deep blue
Whispers of eternity
Bridges life's sweet mystery
To sleep I go and hear the name
Nubia, Nubia, Nubia, Nubia
Soft heart, wait another day
Flaming boat will take you away
Then at the mystery's end
I won't have to pretend, 'tend, 'tend
Now, you are at the journey's end, now
All kind of gold at rainbow's end, now
Now, you are at the journey's end, now (hear)
All kind of gold at rainbow's end, now (hear)
Now, you are at the journey's end, now (not gonna search,
search, search any longer, I'm not gonna search, search, search any longer)
All kind of gold at rainbow's end, now (not gonna search, search,
search any longer, I'm not gonna search, search, search any longer)
Now, you are at the journey's end, now (not
gonna search, search, search, I'm not gonna search, search, search )
All kind of gold at rainbow's end, now (not gonna search,
search, search, I'm not gonna search, search, search)
I'm not gonna search, search, search any longer
Carry Me Back
(by Felix Cavaliere)
Carry me back
Carry me back
Carry me back
I been away too long
I'm going home where I belong
Oh, for the pillow where my head used to lay
'Fore I left to be a grown man, way back then
I miss the wooden kitchen floor
Painted brown to match the old back door
In my old Kentucky home where I belong
Carry me back
Carry me back (don't wanna be here no more)
Carry me back
I been away so long
I'm going back where I come from
Something I read one day
I might have heard somebody say
Made me leave my happy home, should have never left
Fortune waiting in the city
Pretty women just like in the movies
The craziest mess you ever wanna see
Carry me back
Carry me back (ain't nothing here for me)
Carry me back
I wanna get back home
Take me back where I belong
Come on
Come on
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Lord Almighty, I sure learned a lot
Enough to send me back where I come from
To that old Kentucky home far away, yeah
Carry me back (going home, now)
Carry me back (where I belong, now)
Carry me back
I'm on my way back home
I'm going back where I belong
Carry me back (oh oh)
Carry me back (oh oh yeah)
Carry me back
I'm on my way back home
Take me back where I come from
I wanna get myself back home
Away Away
(by Gene Cornish)
I see the games you're playing
And I know they're make believe
It's just a chance I 'm taking
I’ve got to look into your head before you leave and go away
You've got to stop, look what you're doing
You're gonna lead my mind to ruin
But if you want, we'll give it a try
Come into my dreams (yeah), I’ll teach you to fly
I see you standing silent
I can sense you want to stay
But fear of meeting violence
Has made you so afraid that you must turn away, away, away
Away
Are we apart, are we together?
You go through changes just like the weather
But if you want (want), we'll give it a try
Come into my dreams (yeah), I’ll teach you to fly
How can you speak of leaving
When desire tells you, “No”?
You can't go on believing
That this is not the time and you must go
Away, away, away
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
Ah
You've got to stop, look what you're doing
You're gonna lead my mind to ruin
You've got to stop (now), look what you're doing
You're gonna lead my mind to ruin
You've got to stop (yeah),
look what you're doing
You're gonna lead my mind to ruin
You've got to stop (I wish you'd stop), look
what you're doing
You're gonna lead my mind to ruin
Real Thing
(by Felix Cavaliere)
When you find the real thing
It's spring (yeah)
You go and let your heart sing
'Cause if you find the real thing

So go and let your heart sing
Hey you, laughing boy

Death's Reply
(by Felix Cavaliere)
Oh, when the horn sounds, the stars fill my eyes
Awake from the dream now, I roam the magic sky
The bird has flown away to freedom from its cage
Return to whence it came to the true beginning
Of the page
Brother, come with me up to highest light
Sorrow won't follow, all pain is left behind
As water flows to wet and fire turns to dry
Rejoin your own true home
And leave this world behind you now and die
A wealth of endless joy waits for you to say,
"I now release myself to flow with life
Into eternal day"
I'm always with you, you'll never die, yeah
Lead me from darkness into the light
From the illusion into the light
And I'm gonna be with you, now
Help me to try
Into the light
Into the light
Into the light
Into the light
Alright, remember it's twelve
Yee haw

Right On
(by Felix Cavaliere)
Rode into Mobile
Looking for a lady
People keep staring
Acting like they crazy
But I was born with some pride
So I let it all slide
And I said,
"Right on, brother
Right on, sister
I know we are one
We're all children of the sun
So just let me be
Keep my soul free"
Stopped for some coffee
Then I saw a sweet thing
She was talking with a dude
All about a revolution
I just looked in her eyes
And my heart began to fly
And I said,
"Right on, brother (oh, oh)
Right on, sister
When love comes along
All my plans are gone
Well now, let me see
What's in store for me"
Ooh whee
Whoo
I moved right on over
Smiled at her so sweetly
She told me 'bout a party
And what time she would meet me
Can you dig my surprise
When a red flag rise?
I said,
"Right on, brother (oh, now)
Right on, sister
All this is fine
Not what I had in mind
I'll be running free
No, you can't catch me
'Cause I'll be running free
Would you like to come with me?"
Ain't no good
Whoo
I don't like to get involved
Whoo

Love, your magic is everywhere
Those sweet vibrations just fill the air
Mmm yeah
The bright star that's shining in your diamond eyes
Lights up my each and every day
When one heart finds another
On the road of life
The time stops and joy takes you away
I said, love, your magic is everywhere, mmm yeah
Those peace vibrations are always there, always there
The warm sunshine reminds
Of your gentle touch
I see your smile in every hill, every tree
The secret garden of my heart
Belongs to you alone
Like a flower was meant for the bee
I believe, I believe

With your love I've become awake
In a wondrous and beautiful place
Love, your magic is everywhere, everywhere
Those sweet vibrations just fill the air, fill the air
When I see the flowers, I see the trees
I can see your smiling face
In every thing that I see
In the mountains, in the stream, oh

Thank you, baby

That two hearts were one
But I never understood
Then I saw you
My whole life has changed
You're my sister, my lover, my friend
Thank you, baby
Thank you for loving me (mmm)
This way
I know how it feels to be all alone
Like an island without the sun
But with you, my dear
Right here in my heart
I feel like the wind
Blowing high and free
I'm an ocean of love
When you're here with me
Thank you, baby (wanna thank you)

You Don't Know
(by Gene Cornish)
It seems so hard to keep a smile upon my face
Pretending I am happy that she's gone
I must admit it's getting harder every day to carry on
So if you see her, please don't tell her how I feel
I'd rather that she never knew we met, no
It's better that she doesn't worry any more
She gets upset
You don't know what it is to say good-bye
Try to hide all the hurt that's deep inside
Said good-bye
Made me cry
Wanna die
Woke up one morning, Idiscovered she was gone
And a note she wrote in haste is all I found
"Don't try to find me
Don't try to bring me back
I'm leaving town"
Since that morning I just haven't been the same
I've got to find a way to bring her home
No matter how I try, I just can't seem to make it on my own,
no, no
You don't know what it is to say good-bye
Nothing left but a teardrop in your eye
Said good-bye
Made me cry
Wanna die
You don't know what it is to say good-bye
Nothing left but a teardrop in your eye
Said good-bye
Made me cry
Wanna die
You don't know
You don't know
You don't know
No
Almost Home
(by Felix Cavaliere)
Highways lead from town to town
Tonight, I'll bet she's got her hair down
Signposts flying by with the time, oh my
I'm almost home
I'm almost home, mmm-hmm
Moonlight shone on broken glass that night
He should have never touched her
Long years I had to pay the price for her love
(Almost home) Anyway, I'm almost
home
(Almost home) I'm almost home
(Almost home) Mmm-hmm
Yeah, I guess she's just too busy to write me, hmm-mmm
My mind was almost torn
Been running to her bedside nightly, right
Just one more mile
I'm gonna see her sweet smile tonight
(Almost home) 'Cause I'm almost home
(Almost home) I'm almost home
(Almost home) Where I belong, hmm
Almost home
Almost home
Almost home
I wonder if she'll be happy to see me
Can't wait to see my baby, now
I been through Hell and back
There's gonna be some loving this evening, yeah
Next right -- hey, that's a parking site
Oh, no
(Almost home) I was almost home
(Almost home) Looks like
my home is gone
Oh (oh)
Whoa, my home is gone
Whoa, What am I gonna do?
(Almost home) Can't see no place
to go
(Almost home) No place to hide my head
Wish I could
Yeah, got to find some place to go
Hmm mmm, really now
Don't know where to go
And I was so close to home
Maybe Icould get ahold of some kind of telephone book
Look her up
See if she's in town, now
Mmm hmm

Ready for Love
(by Felix Cavaliere)
My heart was on a stormy sea
Tossing and turning like a leaf on the winds of desire for
you
I had to reach your distant shore
Take you inside and keep you and hold you and love you
Forever more
That was the springtime of the tide
The sandshells fell and washed it all aside
I'm a little bit older (a little bit older)
A little bit wiser (a little wiser now)
When the wind calls
I'll be ready, oh (ready)
Ready for love
Mm (I'm getting ready)
I'm tired of chasing shadows
I'm gonna turn me around
And watch 'em come after me
'Cause I fell asleep and wisdom spoke
He said, "I'll tell you a secret
Like life, well, this too will pass"
So you see, my friend
I'll just wait
Leave my love life
Up to the hands of fate
I'm a little bit older (a little bit older)
A little bit wiser (a little wiser now)
When my heart calls
I'll be ready, oh (ready)
Ready for love
I'm getting ready
Ooh
Whoo-ooh
Whoo-ooh
So you see, my friend
I'll just wait
Leave my love life
Up to the hands of fate
I'm a little bit older (little bit older)
A little bit wiser now
When my heart calls
I'm gonna be ready, oh (ready)
I'm ready for love
(I'm getting ready for love) I'm getting ready
(I'm getting ready for love) Look out now, starting to get
ready
(I'm getting ready for love) Everybody's starting to get
ready
(I'm getting ready for love) I believe my soul's starting
to get ready
(I'm getting ready for love) Oh
(I'm getting ready for love) Oh
(I'm getting ready for love) Oh

Glory Glory
(by Felix Cavaliere)
I saw a child
He was carrying a light
I asked where it came from
He blew it right out
His eyes looked into me
His voice was a song
He said, "Tell me, tell me
Do you know where it's gone?"
Oh
Glory, glory
My eyes have seen the mountain
My soul can sing the song, oh
Glory, oh, glory
I'm singing hallelujah
The truth keeps marching on
Oh yes, it does, now
Oh, Lord
Every morning the sun lights us all
The trees ask for nothing
Just let their fruit fall
Fire's the same
No matter what the source
And the flame of love burns on
It's never, never lost
I got to sing
Glory, glory
'Cause my eyes have seen the mountain, oh Lord
My soul has felt the joy, oh
Glory, oh, glory
I'm singing hallelujah
The truth is marching on
Every morning
(I got to hear you)
I got to sing
Glory, glory
My eyes have seen the mountain
Your soul can feel the peace
Glory, glory (hallelujah)
You're singing hallelujah, oh now
The truth is marching on, oh
Glory, glory (hallelujah)
You're singing hallelujah
The truth is marching on
