You
Stepped out of a dream,
You are too wonderful,
To be what you seem.
Could there be eyes like yours?
Could there be lips like yours?
Could there be smiles like yours,
Honest and truly?
You
Stepped out of a cloud,
I want to take you away,
Away from the crowd,
And have you all to myself
Alone and apart.
Out of a dream...
Safe into my heart.

Dream Away
06:08
|
|||
My eyes fall on your picture each morning rememb’ring your kiss.
I rise my memory fixed on a long-lost romantic bliss.
Forsaken, awakened,
My heart is torn apart and yet,
My senses tell me somehow,
The best is yet to come now.
By nightfall when it’s time for a star aligned repose.
I might call on the old sandman to dust away all of my woes.
In my trance I wish a spell, a magic voodoo...
To dream away the memory of you
A fireball in my gut’s telling me get out and strut and be proud.
My cries are spelling in sobs what I can’t pronounce out loud.
I miss you, the tissue can’t hold an ocean of my tears,
I count upon each second to drown away the years.
The tide rolls in obeying the moon’s appointed chart.
My eyes grow heavier each day with the burden of my heart.
As I lay me down to bid my last adieu...
I’ll dream away the memory of you.

If This Isn't Love
06:11
|

A secret, a secret,
I've got a little secret...
A secret, a secret,
A secret kind of secret.
I'm aching to shout it to every daffodil,
And tell the world about it,
In fact, I think, I will...
If this isn't love,
The whole world is crazy.
If this isn't love,
I'm daft as a daisy!
With moons all around,
And cows jumping over,
There's something a-miss,
And I'll eat my hat if,
If this isn't love!
I'm feeling like the apple,
On the top of William Tell;
With this I cannot grapple because,
Because you're so adora-belle.
If this isn't love,
The winter is summer.
If this isn't love,
My heart needs a plumber.
I'm swingin' on stars!
I'm ridin' on rainbows!
I'm bustin' with bliss,
And I'll kiss your hand,
If this isn't love!

The Shadow of Your Smile
05:35
|
|||
One day we walked along the sand,
One day in early spring.
You held a piper in your hand,
To mend its broken wing.
Now I'll remember many a day
And many a lonely mile.
The echo of a piper's song
The shadow of a smile.
The shadow of your smile when you are gone,
Will colour all my dreams and light the dawn.
Look into my eyes my love and see,
All the lovely things you are to me.
Our wistful little star was far too high.
A teardrop kissed your lips and so did I...
Now when I remember spring,
All the joy that love can bring,
I will be remembering,
The shadow of your smile.

Keep It to Yourself
05:06
|

Keep it to yourself, keep it something strictly between us.
Put it on a shelf, just as if nobody had seen us.
Keep it on ice, it's our own paradise, baby so nice.
You can talk about anything come what may,
But baby be careful what you say.
Keep it to yourself, don't go tellin' our little secret.
Place it on the shelf, that's the only way we can keep it.
Lovin' you so, never wanna let go, now that you know.
You got weather and politics everyday,
But baby be careful what you say.
Keep it to yourself, don't go tellin' our little secret.
Place it on the shelf, that's the only way we can keep it.
Lovin' you so, never wanna let go, now that you know.
You got weather and politics everyday,
But baby be careful what you say.
You can talk about anything, come what may,
But baby be careful what you say.
You got weather and politics everyday,
But baby be careful what you say.

Blackfriars
05:28
|

London Town had is charm, spotting landmarks arm in arm,
Trafalgar Square and Regent's Park, softly kissing in the dark,
But I shed a tear along the Thames,
This is where my sadness stems.
'Long the bridge where we met at Blackfriars,
There was love in the air that night.
I will never forget at Blackfriars,
Dreaming of a life, where I got to hold you tight.
Something in our lives,
Took an awful turn.
Now I'm left with all my own concerns.
How I long to return to Blackfriars,
Where we two had rejoiced as one.
Sing a song for our love at Blackfriars
Looking in your eyes, together we had just begun.

You're Everything
04:42
|
|||
In my life nothing seems so right,
As to be with you,
And when I'm with you,
I always sing,
You're everything.
And as time goes by,
Floating like a bird am I,
Even song birds seem all to sing,
You're everything.
Oh days are so much fun,
For those who know
That in love all life's a game.
And as we go,
Dancing through the sun In love...
And as time goes by,
Floating like a bird am I,
Even song bird I know will sing,
You're everything.

In a Mellow Tone
06:12
|
|||
In a mellow tone,
Feeling fancy free,
And I'm not alone,
I've got company.
Everything's okay,
The live long day,
With this mellow song,
I can't go wrong.
In a mellow tone,
That's the way to live.
If you mope and groan,
Something's gotta give.
Just go your way,
And laugh and play,
There's joy unknown,
In a mellow tone.

Once I was a sentimental thing,
Threw my heart away each spring.
Now a spring romance hasn't got a chance,
Promised my first dance to winter.
All I've got to show's a splinter for my little fling.
Spring this year has got me feeling,
Like a horse that never left the post.
I lie in my room staring up at the ceiling,
Spring can really hang you up the most.
Morning's kiss wakes trees and flowers,
And to them I'd like to drink a toast.
I walk in the park just to kill lonely hours,
Spring can really hang you up the most.
All afternoon those birds twitter-twit,
I know the tune, "This is love, this is it!"
Heard it before and I know the score,
And I've decided that spring is a bore.
Love seemed sure around the New Year,
Now it's April, love is just a ghost.
Spring arrived on time, only what became of you, dear?
Spring can really hang you up the most.
Spring is here, there's no mistaking,
Robins building nests from coast to coast.
My heart tries to sing so they won't hear it breaking,
Spring can really hang you up the most.
College boys are writing sonnets,
In the "Tender passion" they're engrossed,
But I'm on the shelf with last year's Easter bonnets,
Spring can really hang you up the most.
Love came my way, I thought it would last,
We had our day, now that's all in the past.
Spring came along a season of song,
Full of sweet promise but something went wrong.
Doctors once prescribed a tonic,
"Sulphur and molasses" was the dose.
Didn't help a bit, my condition must be chronic...
Spring can really hang you up the most...
All alone, the party's over,
Old man winter was a gracious host...
But when you keep praying for snow to hide the clover,
Spring can really hang you up the most.

Guess mine is not the first heart broken,
My eyes are not the first to cry.
I'm not the first to know,
There's just no getting over you.
You know I'm just a fool who's willing,
To sit around and wait for you.
But baby, can't you see there's nothing else for me to do?
I'm hopelessly devoted to you.
But now there's nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm out of my head
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
My head is sayin', "Fool, forget him"
My heart is sayin', "Don't let go
Hold on to the end", that's what I intend to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's no way to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm outta my head
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
