"A Time For Love"

"A Time For Love"



A time for summer skies
For hummingbirds and butterflies
For tender words that harmonize with love

A time for climbing hills
For leaning out of windowsills
Admiring daffodils above

A time for holding hands together
A time for rainbow coloured weather
A time of make believe that we've been dreaming of

As time goes drifting by
The willow bends and so do I
But all my friends whatever skies above
I know a time for spring
A time for fall
But best of all
A time for love

A time for holding hands together
A time for rainbow coloured weather
A time of make believe that we've been dreaming of

As time goes drifting by
The willow bends and so do I
But all my friends whatever skies above
I know a time for spring
A time for fall
But best of all
A time for love

"Above The Law"
(feat. Barry Gibb)

"Above The Law"
(feat. Barry Gibb)



[Barbra:]
This is me talking to you
Tell me what your heart can do ?
Take me by surprise, whatever you see
You'll never be alone with me

I close or open the door
Telling you that less is more
You cannot disguise whatever you do
No one is above the law

In these dark and troubled times
People just surviving
We live a double life

You'd be safe and warm at home
Something else is going on
We don't have to kiss and say no more about it
And if your eyes are watching me

[Both:]
Baby, life could be so beautiful
And we become invisible
The pleasure is the punishment
For the crime

[Barbra:]
Break away the chains that bind
It's not enough to be satisfied
It's knowing how it all begins
Or knowing where the heart belongs
And we all make mistakes

[Both:]
It's your heart and my heart
And no one can take part
And our love
Is love above the law

[Barry:]
So you decide we go insane
I know what you came here for
Whether you are mine
I'll never be sure
We'll ever be above the law
On this dark and stormy night

[Barbra:]
(Hmm hmm...)

[Barry:]
Where these walls may hide us

[Barbra:]
(The walls may hide us...)

[Barry:]
You sigh and let me in
You let me hold you in these arms of mine

[Barbra:]
(One flame inside)

[Barry:]
Tomorrow is eternity

[Barbra:]
(Temptation eyes)

[Barry:]
And we may get to kiss and say no more about it

[Barbra:]
(No tears to cry)

[Barry:]
And if my eyes are watching you

[Both:]
Baby, life could be so beautiful ([Barry:] So beautiful)
And everything is possible ([Barbra:] Everything is possible)
And we become invisible ([Barbra:] We become invisible )

It's your heart and my heart
And no one can take part
I'll always be with you
It's what I'm living for

The end of my rainbow
Is outside your window
And our love is one love
Love above the law ([Barbra:] Love above the law )
It's your heart and my heart
And no one can take part
I'll always be with you
It's what I'm living for ([Barbra:] It's what I'm living for )

The end of my rainbow
Is outside your window
And our love is one love

[Barbra:]
This is me talking to you
Tell me what your heart can do?

"Absent Minded Me"

"Absent Minded Me"



Absent minded me
Absent minded me
I'm losing a key
Or missing a glove
Just like me to lose my love
Gotta find it, absent minded me
Dizzy dopey me
Mixed-up mopey me
I'm way, way ahead
Of the game then it starts
How did I lose my king of hearts?
Gotta find it, absent minded me
There's my key
Gee, I left it in the door
There's my glove on the shelf
Now if I don't find my love
I'll be losing myself
Gotta find him
Gotta find him
Absent minded me
Absent minded me...

"Adelaide's Lament"

"Adelaide's Lament"



The average unmarried female
Basic'lly insecure
Due to some long frustration
May react
With psychosomatic symptoms
Difficult to endure
Affecting the upper respiratory tract
In other words,
Just from waiting around
For that little band of gold
A person can develop a cold
You can spray her wherever you figure
The streptococci lurk
You can give her a shot
For whatever she's got
But it just won't work
If she's tired of getting the fish-eye
From the hotel clerk
A person
Can develop a cold
The female remaining single
Just in the legal sense
Shows a neurotic tendency
See note:
Note: Chronic organic syndromes
Toxic and hypertense
Involving the eye,
The ear and the nose and throat
In other words,
Just from worrying
Whether the wedding is on or off,
A person
Can develop a cough
You can feed her all day
With the Vitamin A
And the Bromo Fizz
But the medicine never
Gets anywhere near
Where the trouble is
If she's getting a kind
Of name for herself
And the name ain't "his"
A person
Can develop a cough
And further more
Just from stalling
And stalling and stalling
The wedding trip
A person
Can develop La grippe
When they get on a train
For Niag'ra
And she can hear church bells chime
The compartment is air conditioned
And the mood sublime
Then they get off at Saratoga
For the fourteenth time
A person
Can develop La grippe
La grippe, La post nasal drip
With the wheezes
And the sneezes
And a sinus that's really a pip!
For a lack of community property
And a feeling she's getting too old
A person
Can develop
A bad, bad cold!

"After The Rain"

"After The Rain"



After we love, we bathe in a glow
Remembering what happened a moment ago
Like after the rain, when the wind breezes a sigh
While it's resting on pillows of sky
Deep in your arms, it's peaceful and warm
Together we lay in a calm that comes after a storm
In a moment or two, we can hear the stars coming through
I love the quiet right after the rain here with you
After the rain, the birds wanna fly
The trees all in green hang the leaves out to dry
Like puddles and pools, what your eyes let me see
Are their loving reflections of me
After a while, you touch me and then
I feel like a flower that longs for a shower again

And then lost in a kiss,
I could stay for hours like this
Though I don't know just what magic the raindrops contain
I know that everything's wonderful after the rain

"Alfie"

"Alfie"



What's it all about
Alfie
Is it just for the moment we live
What's it all about
When you sort it out
Alfie
Are we meant to take more than we give
Or are we meant to be kind
And if only fools are kind
Alfie
Then I guess
It is wise to be cruel
And if life belongs
Only to the strong
Alfie
What will you lend on
An old golden rule
As sure as I believe
There's a heaven above
Alfie
I know there's something much more
Something even non-believers
Can believe in
I believe in love
Alfie
Without true love you just exist
Alfie
Until you find the love you've missed
You're nothing
Alfie....
When you walk let your heart lead the way
And you'll find love any day
Alfie...
Alfie...
Alfie...

"All I Ask Of You"

"All I Ask Of You"



No more talk of darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears.
I'm here, nothing can harm you
My words will warm and calm you.
Let me be your freedom,
Let daylight dry your tears.
I'm here, with you, beside you,
To guard you and to guide you . . .
Then say you love me every winter morning,
Turn my head with talk of summertime . . .
Say you need me with you, now and always . . .
Promise me that all you say is true
That's all I ask of you . . .
Let me be your shelter,
Let me be your light.
You're safe: no-one will find you
Your fears are far behind you . . .
All I need is freedom,
A world that's warm and bright
And you always beside me
To hold me and to hide me . . .
Then say you'll share with me
One love, one lifetime . . .
Let me lead you from your solitude . . .
Say you need me with you here, beside you . . .
Anywhere you go,let me go too
That's all I ask of you . . .
Say the word and I will follow you...
Share each day with me, each night, each morning . . .
Say you feel the way I do
That's all I ask of you . . .
Anywhere you go let me go too . . .
Love me -that's all I ask of you . . .

[Translation from words in Italian between [*]]

"All In Love Is Fair"

"All In Love Is Fair"



All is fair in love,
Love's a crazy game
Two people vow to stay
In love as one they say
But all is changed with time
The future none can see
The road you leave behind
Ahead lies mystery, but all is fair in love
I have to go away
A writer takes his pen to write the words again
All in love is fair...
All of fate's a chance
It's either good or bad
I tossed my coin to say, to say
In love with me you'd stay
But all in war is so cold
You either win or lose
When all is put away
The losing side I'll play...
All is fair in love
I could have never left your side
A writer takes his pen to write the words again
That all in love is fair
A writer takes his pen to write the words again...
That all in love is fair...

"All That I Want"

"All That I Want"



I want a gown of diamonds
Long gloves and sweet perfumes
Hats made of silks and satins
Seaqueens and ostrich plums
I want to wear mascara
Polish my nails real bright
I want to be an actress
Actresses play all night
If I should sneeze, it's a sign
All that I want to will be mine
Oh please, pretty, please
Dear nose, make me sneeze!
I want to find my true love
Like all the love songs say
I want to do what I want
I want to get my way
Wild dreams grow wise
When sweet childhood flies
Time waved a hand
And the breeze blew the sand from my eyes
I want a gown of kingdom
Diamonds would weigh me down
Pompoms and plums are pretty
If you're a circus clown
Funny how black mascara
Streaks when the tears begin
Nail polish, rouge and powder
Can't paint the sparkle in
Once I was slaved to a sneeze
Now sneezing is just a disease
A rose is a rose
And a nose just a nose
True love's a phrase for love songs
Real love's a leaving thing
I want the love worth living
I want the things I sing
I want the love worth living
I want the things I sing
