"The Second Time Around"

"The Second Time Around"

Love is lovelier
The second time around
Just as wonderful with both feet on the ground
It's that second time you hear your love song sung
Makes you think, perhaps, that love like youth
Is wasted on the young
Love's more comfortable
The second time you fall
Like a friendly home, the second time you call
Who can say, what led us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'd bet
Love comes but once and yet
I'm oh so glad we met
The second time around
Who can say what led us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'd bet
Love comes but once and yet
I'm oh so glad we met
The second time around
I'm so glad we met
The second time around

"The Shadow Of Your Smile"

"The Shadow Of Your Smile"

The shadow of your smile
When you have gone
Will color 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

Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
Hmm, hmm...

"The Simple Pleasures"

"The Simple Pleasures"

Oooh... the Pyramid's gone..isn't that Nice
you See the Stars
Isn't that Nice
Yeah.. You have to turn it all off
And Stop.. Take the time to let yourself unwind
Make the time for Simple Pleasures
Turn Away from All the Chaos and confusion
of a World that's spinning out of it's mind

Yes Stop,
Look Around but this time really see
All the Colors of the Sky
Hurry Less, Linger More
Maybe then you'll find.. as you're rushing life
Is rushing By...

Give yourself the gift of a quiet afternoon
Call a friend you haven't seen for ages...
Curl up with a book in a cozy corner
Happy getting lost in it's pages
Walk along the shore
leave your footprints in the sand
Sip a cup a Cocoa on a Winter night
Make a Baby squeal with Laughter
feel the Joy that follows after
to your Hearts delight...
So...

Go on and take a breath
just turn off the noise
and you will hear the music play
Candle Light, a Chocolate Bar, a Kiss Goodnight
and there you are
With Simple Pleasures Everyday...

"The Summer Knows"

"The Summer Knows"

The summer smiles
The summer knows
And unashamed
She sheds her clothes
The summer smoothes
The restless sky
And lovingly
She warms the sand
On which you lie
The summer knows
The summer's wise
She sees the doubts
Within your eyes
And so she takes
Her Summertime
Tells the moon to wait
And the sun to linger
Twist the world
Round her summer finger
Lets you see
The wonder of it all
And if you've learned
Your lesson well
There's little more
For her to tell
One last caress
It's time to dress
For fall...
And if you've learned
Your lesson well
There's little more
For her to tell
One last caress
It's time to dress
For Fall...

"The Sweetest Sounds"

"The Sweetest Sounds"

What do I really hear
What is in the ear of my mind
Which sounds are true and clear
And which will never be defined
The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear
Are still inside my head
The kindest words I'll ever know
Are waiting to be said
The most and entrancing side of all
Is yet for me to see
And the dearest love in all the world
Is waiting somewhere for me
Is waiting somewhere, somewhere for me

"The Water Is Wide / Deep River"

"The Water Is Wide / Deep River"

The water is wide
I cannot cross over
and neither have
I wings to fly
build me a boat
that will carry two
and both shall row
my love and I
There is a ship
and she sails the sea
she's loaded deep
as deep can be
but not so deep
as the love I'm in
I know not how
I sink or swim
deep river
my home is over jordan
deep river
lord
I want to cross over into campground
deep river
my home is over jordan
mmm, deep river, lord
I want to cross over into campground
oh don't you want to go
to that gospel feast
that promised land
where all is peace
for deep river, lord
I want to cross over into campground
the water is wide
I cannot cross over
and neither have
I wings to fly
build me aboat
that will carry two
and both shall row
and both shall row
and both shall row
my love and I

"The Way He Makes Me Feel"

"The Way He Makes Me Feel"

[Everything goes perfectly until Yentl feels herself falling in love with Avigdor]

There's no chill and yet I shiver
There's no flame and yet I burn
I'm not sure what I'm afraid of
And yet I'm trembling
There's no storm yet I hear thunder.
And I'm breathless, why I wonder?
Weak one moment,
Then the next I'm fine.
I feel as if 1'm falling every time
I close my eyes
And flowing through my body
Is a river of surprise.
Feelings are awakening
I hardly' recognize as mine!
What are all these new sensations?
What's the secret they reveal?
I'm not sure I understand
But I like the way I feel.
Oh, why is it that every time
I close my eyes he's there?
The water shining on his skin,
The sunlight in his hair?
And all the while I'm thinking things
That I can never share with him.
I'm a bundle of confusion
Yet it has a strange appeal.
Did it all begin with him,
And the way he makes me feel
I like the way he makes me feel...

"The Way We Were"

"The Way We Were"

Mem'ries,
Light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures,
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? Could we?
Mem'ries, may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember...
The way we were...
The way we were...

"The Way We Were"
(with Lionel Richie)

Memories
Like the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories
Of the way we were

Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time rewritten every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we, would we,
Could we, could we?

Memories
May be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget

Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time rewritten every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we, would we,
Could we, could we?

Memories
May be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget

So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were

I miss you baby

The way we were

The way we were

I miss you so much baby
I miss the way we were

"The Windmills Of Your Mind"

"The Windmills Of Your Mind"

Round like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending on beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half-forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly?
Was it something that I said?
Lovers walk along a shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Was the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
Or the fragment of a song
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
Were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color of her hair?

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
