"If You Could Read My Mind"

"If You Could Read My Mind"



If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I'm a ghost
That you can see
If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
That kind the drugstores sell
When you reach the part
Where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
The heroes often fail
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take
I'd walk away like a movie star
Who gets spurned in a three way script
Ends up number two
The movie queen to play the scene
A bringing all the good things out in me
But for now, love, let's be real
I never thought I could feel this way
And I got to say
That I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone
And I just can't get it back...
If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movies
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
Stories always end
And if you read between the lines
You know that I'm just trying to understand
The feelings that you lack
I've never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say
That I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone
And I just can't get it back

"If You Ever Leave Me"
(feat. Vince Gill)

"If You Ever Leave Me"
(feat. Vince Gill)



[Vince:]
When I fall, you're my place to land.
I lose my touch, you're my hands,
The one I hold on to.
If you run out of reason to try
I'll love enough for both you and I
I'll be the one you can run to.
[Barbra:]
I'd rather go through any pain love puts us through
Than to spend one day without you by my side.

[Both:]
If you ever leave me, will you take me with you?
If you're ever lonely, I wanna be lonely too.
My home's beside you, no matter where you may go.
My love's inside you, even more than you know.

[Barbra:]
In a world of anger and lies
I find peace in your eyes
A flame in the darkness.

[Both:]
Ooh, And through all space and time
'Til every star refuses to shine

[Barbra:]
You know where my heart is.
I'd rather go through any pain love puts us through

[Both:]
Than to spend one day without you by my side
If you ever leave me, will you take me with you?
If you're ever lonely, I wanna be lonely too, Woah.
My home's beside you, no matter where you may go.

[Barbra:]
Where you may go

[Both:]
My love's inside you, even more than you know.

And I can't remember life without you
The way it used to be
Feels like a million years away.

[Vince:]
Well Hold me 'til the angels sing.

[Barbra:]
Tell me every little thing.

[Both:]
Promise me forever from this day

If you ever leave me, will you take me with you?
If you're ever lonely, I wanna be lonely too, Woah.
My home's beside you, no matter where you may go.

[Vince:]
Where you may go

[Both:]
My love's inside you, even more than you know.

[Barbra:]
Even more than you know.

[Vince:]
Even more than you know.

[Both:]
Even more than you know.
Even more than you know.

"If You Go Away"

"If You Go Away"



If you go away
On this summer's day
Then you might as well
Take the sun away
All the birds that flew
In the summer sky
When our love was new
And our hearts were high
And the day was young
And the nights were long
And the moon stood still
For the night bird's song

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...

But if you stay
I'll make you a day
Like no day has been
Or will be again
We'll sail on the sun
We'll ride on the rain
And talk to the trees
And worship the wind

But if you go
I'll understand
Leave me just enough love
To fill up my hand

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...

If you go away
As I know you will
You must tell the world
To stop turning
'til you return again
If you ever do
For what good is love
Without loving you?
Can I tell you now
As you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly
'til the next hello

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...

But if you stay
I'll make you a night
Like no night has been
Or will be again
I'll sail on your smile
I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes
That I love so much

But if you go
I won't cry
Though the good is gone
From the word goodbye

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...

If you go away
As I know you must
There is nothing left
In this world to trust
Just an empty room
Full of empty space
Like the empty look
I see on your face
And I'd been the shadow
Of your shadow
If you might have kept me
By your side

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...

If you go away
If you go away...

"If You Were The Only Boy In The World"

"If You Were The Only Boy In The World"



If I were the only girl in the world
And you were the only boy
Nothing else would matter in the world today
We could go on loving in the same old way
A Garden of Eden, hmm, just made for two
With nothing to harm our joy
I would say such wonderful things to you
There would be such wonderful things to do
If were the only girl in the world
And you were the only boy
...If I were the only girl...
Nothing else would matter in the world today
We could go on loving in the same sweet way
A Garden of Eden, hmm, just made for two
With nothing to change our joy
I would say such wonderful things to you
There would be such beautiful things to do
If were the only girl in the world
And you were the only boy.

"In The Wee Small Hours"

"In The Wee Small Hours"


In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast alseep
You lie awake thinking of the girl
Never even think of counting sheep

While the whole wide world has learned it's lesson
She'd be yours if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
It's the time i miss her most of all

[Instrumental]

In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake thinking of the girl
Never even think of counting sheep

While the whole wide world has learned it's lesson
She'd be yours if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
It's the time i miss her most off all

"Isn't It A Pity?"

"Isn't It A Pity?"



It's a funny thing.
I look at you.
I get a thrill
I never knew.
Isn't it a pity
We never met before?
Here we are at last.
It's like a dream.
The two of us
A perfect team.
Isn't it a pity
We never met before?

Imagine all the lonely years we've wasted.
Me with the neighbors.
You at silly labors.
What joys untasted.
My nights were sour,
Spent with Schopenhauer

Let's forget the past.
Let's both agree
That I'm for you
And you're for me.
And it's such a pity
We never, never met before.

Imagine all the years we've wasted.
Fishing for salmon
Losing at backgammon.
What joys untasted.
Me at the Prado,
You in Colorado.

Happiest of girls I'm sure to be
If only you would say to me
That it's such a pity
We never met before.
What an awful pity
We never, never met before.

"Isn't This Better"

"Isn't This Better"


[Fanny:]
I loved the man
Truly I did
When he would touch me I act like a love-hungry kid
Isn't this better
Somebody nice somebody new
Someone who lets me react as I normally do
Isn't this better
Better
Passion is fine but passion burns fast
Passions design seems never to last
Better a match better a blend
Who needs a lover I need a friend
Now I am calm save and serene
Heartache and hurt are no longer a part of the scene
Isn't this better
The way it should be
Better for him
And also much better for me
Isn't this better
Better
Passion is fine but passion burns fast
Passions design seems never to last
Better a match better a blend
Who needs a lover I need a friend
Now I am clam save and serene
Heartache and hurt are no longer a part of the scene
Isn't this better
The way it should be
Better for him
Much better for him
And also much better for me

"It Had To Be You"

"It Had To Be You"



Seems like dreams like I always had
Could be, should be making me glad
Why am I blue?
It's up to you to explain
I'm thinking maybe, baby, I'll go away
Someday, some way, you'll come and say
It's you I need and you'll be pleading in vain

It had to be you, it had to be you
I wondered around, finally found somebody who
Could make me be true, could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad
Thinking of you

Some others I've seen,
Might never be mean, might never be cross,
Or try to be boss, but they wouldn't do
'Cause nobody else gave ma a thrill
With all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, crazy old you, it had to be you

I guess so

Ok!

It had to be you
Person call it faith
It had to be you
I just have to wait

I wondered around, finally found somebody who

For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults
I love you still

It had to be you
Wonderful you
It had to be you

Just me and you
No one but you

It had to be you

"It Must Be You"

"It Must Be You"



It must be you.
Making me feel things I can't explain.
For some reason I'm just laughing at the rain.
I can't believe who I am has changed to suddenly.
I'm doing things I never thought I'd do.
This is not like me.
It must be you.
It's must be love.
Nothing else could turn me upside down.
Or plant my feet so firmly on the ground.
What's happening?
Everything I say
I wanna sing.
Everything I've dreamed is coming true.
What's this feeling in my heart?
It must be you.

Hold me now like this forever
Let this moment go on endlessly.
I'm alive when you're beside me.
That's how I know that we were meant to be.
Ooooh.

What's happening?
Everything I say I want to sing.
Everything I've dreamed is coming true.
What's this feeling in my heart?
It must be you.
It must be you.
