"London's Not Too Far"

"London's Not Too Far"


She takes the step, that’ll mean goodbye to home
She knows it’s time to make the break
She’s got a bag with a mirror, brush and comb
That’s all she really needs to take

She’s got to travel light
She’s walking all the way
“London’s not too far”
She’s heard the neighbour say

Her heart just beats like it’s never done before
If someone stops her life, she’ll die
A little prayer as she tumbles with the door
She hopes her mom and dad won’t cry

She planned it all herself
And now she’s on her way
“London’s not too far”
She’s heard the neighbour say

She’s so in love with a man she doesn’t know
She’s only seen him on T.V.
But love is strong and it’s calling her to go
To London where he’s sure to be

The door is open now
She’s free to walk away
“London’s not too far”
She’s heard the neighbour say

She looks outside; it’s a wet and windy night
It looks so very dark and cold
She thinks perhaps London’s not so very bright
Especially when you’re five years old

"Long Ago And Far Away"

"Long Ago And Far Away"


Long ago and far away
I dreamed a dream one day
And now that dream is here beside me
Long the skies were overcast
But now the clouds have passed
You're here at last
Chills run up and down my spine
Aladdin's lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for long ago was you

Long ago and far away
I dreamed a dream one day
And now that dream is here beside me
Long the skies were overcast
But now the clouds have passed
You're here at last
Chills run up and down my spine
Aladdin's lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for long ago was you

Just one look and then I knew
(Him, with her humming along)
That all I longed for long ago
Was you

"Look Homeward Angel"

"Look Homeward Angel"


Look homeward angel
Tell me what you see
Do the folks I used to know remember me?
(Remember me?)

Look homeward angel
That my lady fair
Does she dream about the love we used to share?

So she’ll know how very much I miss her
(How much I miss her)
Angel, while she’s dreaming, won’t you kiss her?

Look homeward, angel
One thing I must know
Do her empty arms still yearn for me, it’s over?

Then homeward angel
Homeward I must go

Does she know how very much I miss her?
Angel, while she’s dreaming, won’t you kiss her?

Look homeward, angel
One thing I must know
Do her empty arms still yearn for me, it’s over?
(Look homeward, angel)

Then homeward angel
Homeward I must go
Then homeward angel
Homeward I must go

"Lost In A Lonely World"

"Lost In A Lonely World"


Tomorrow never comes when you are looking foward to it
You try so hard to live the day your way
But what a life if you could live the way you want it
You tried it once before but it didn't work out
You know you need someone to bring out the best in you

To be a light to you is what I intend to do
To show the way you know you ought to go
You'll see a world that will surely come into view
So take the hand that I offer to you
To see the truth that you will be no longer

Lost, lost in a lonely world (lost and lonely)
'Cos I can see that there's life in your eyes
If only you would realise
That now you don't have to settle for this
(You don't have to settle for this)
You don't have to say "There's nowhere to go"
You can find out anything you really wanna know

"Love Is The Strongest Emotion"

"Love Is The Strongest Emotion"


One day away from you, I'm feeling
Something new,
The way you look at me says everything.
It's much too late to hide, what's building up inside,
Hot blood is rushing through my heart and soul.

[Chorus:]
Love is the strongest emotion,
No-one can stop what we do.
Love is the strongest emotion,
That you'll ever feelwhen your love is real.

I've been awake all night, my eyes are open wide,
I never dreamed you, you're no fantasy.
Oh, don't make me wait too long,
Cause you're the only one girl you change my wishes to reality

[Chorus]

And I wanna touch, and I wanna feel,
What you do to me.
Cause nothing on earth can move me like you,
Come on baby show mecause I need to give my love to you.

I wanna touch, and I wanna feel,
What you do to me.
Cause, nothing on earth can move me like you,
Come on baby show me, cause I need to give my love.

Love is the strongest emotion,
No-one can stopwhat we do.
Love is the strongest emotion,
That you'll ever feel when you know your love is real.

"Love Me Or Leave Me"

"Love Me Or Leave Me"


This suspense is killing me
I can't stand uncertainty
Tell me now, I got to know
Whether you want me to stay or go

Love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won't believe me and I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else

You might find the nighttime the right time for kissing
But nighttime is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue

I want your love, but I don't want to borrow
To have it today, to give back tomorrow
For my love is your love, there's no love for nobody else

Oh, love me or leave me, let me be lonely
You won't believe me and I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else

You might find the nighttime the right time for kissing
But nighttime is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue, oh, so blue

I want your love, but I don't want to borrow
To have it today, to give back tomorrow
For I couldn't bear it, to share it with somebody else

"Love Me Tender"

"Love Me Tender"


Love me tender, love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life complete
And I love you so

Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For my darling I love you
And I always will

Love me tender, love me long
Take me to your heart
For it's there that I belong
And will never part

Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For my darling I love you
And I always will

Love me tender, love me dear
Tell me you are mine
I'll be yours through all the years
Till the end of time

Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For my darling I love you
And I always will

"Love Stealer"

"Love Stealer"


When she's got her eye on you - there's no escape
She keeps unnoticed - hidden under her cape
She shows no mercy - no - she plays it rough but
She don't want your money - she just wants your love

Better call the cops - better call the cops
Better call the police
Better come quick - better come quick
While I'm in one piece
Better bring a book - better bring a book
Gonna press charges - for attempted
Breaking and entering my heart

Yeah
'cos she's a lovestealer - raw dealer
Heart breakin' - love takin' yeah-yeah
Love stealer - raw dealer
Heart breakin' - love takin' yeah-yeah-yeah

She hangs around - casing the joint
Then she'll move in and get - right to the point
Take my advice and keep your love to yourself
Or the love stealer will rob you-
Leave you there on the shelf

Better call the cops - better call the cops
Better call the police
Better come quick - better come quick
While I'm in one piece
Better bring a book - better bring a book
Gonna press charges - for attempted
Breaking and entering my heart

Yeah
'cos she's a lovestealer - raw dealer
Heart breakin' - love takin' yeah-yeah
Love stealer - raw dealer
Heart breakin' - love takin' yeah-yeah-yeah

Better call the cops - better call the cops
Call the police
Better come quick - better come quick
While I'm in one piece
Better bring a book - take a look
Press charges
For attempted breaking and entering my heart

Yeah...

"Love Truth And Emily Stone"

"Love Truth And Emily Stone"


You’re the only Sun I need
To light the humdrum life I lead
So shine on
No one else can make me feel
Nothing matters, nothing’s real
So shine on

Face to face with you I find
The here and now is gone
I kind of dream on
Half-remembered childhood things
Shoes and ships, queens and kings
I dream on

And when I’m alone
I think of someone
Everyone knows
That my whole world
Begins and ends with love
Truth and Emily Stone

Shine on
No one else can make me feel
Nothing matters, nothing’s real
So shine on

And when I’m alone
I think of someone
Everyone knows
That my whole world
Begins and ends with love
Truth and Emily Stone

Love, truth and Emily Stone
Yes it does
Love, truth and Emily Stone
Life begins with Emily
Love, truth and Emily Stone

"Love's Salvation"

"Love's Salvation"


I don't know how to play it,
I don't know how to say it,
But it's true,
Oooooh I'm losing you.

I only know that maybe,
You and I have got to talk things trough,
But baby before we do,
I'm telling you.

[Chorus:]
You can go right on breaking my heart,
I wouldn't care at all.
You can go right on taking my love,
I'll never close the door.
And even thoughi know you don't
Love me anymore,
You can hurt me but you won't break down
My love.

I don't know what began it,
It happens all the time,

So I've been told,
Love grows old and cold.
Not for me the easy way,
I love you then and now I love you still,
And I guess I always will,
Meanwhile...

[Chorus]

Not for me the easy way,
I don't want no trial seperation.
I'd rather face the sleepless nights,
Working on our love's salvation.

[Chorus]

Love's salvation,
(you've got to keep working on)
Our love's salvation,
(you've got to keep working on)
