"Playin' On My Guitar"


"Playin' On My Guitar"

By the sand and fire light
While watching the fallin' star
Came a lady from the night
Who started playin' on my guitar

She was like a melody
That no one had ever heard
When she sang her magic song
I had to listen to every word

But she made me see
Like I never had before
Don't you know she set me free
Like I never been before
Don't you know the girl could sing
And I thought of what the future would bring

By the stars and fire light
The music was sweet and clear
Though I had her to myself
I was afraid someone else would hear

Soon the other heard her playin'
Started to gather round
One by one they started stayin'

'Cause they couldn't believe the sound

And she made them see
Like they never had before
Don't you know she set them free
Like they'd never been before
Don't you know the girl could sing
And I thought of what the future would bring

I see her every now and then
In movies and on T.V.
Wonder as I sit there watchin'
If she ever thinks of me

By the sand and fire light
(oooooooooooooo)
Before she became a star
(ooooo just a melody)
She was just a melody
When she was playin' on my guitar
Playin' on my g...playin' on my g...playin' on my guitar

"Part-Time Love"

"Part-Time Love"


I need somebody who's consistent with me
Someone already there when I need company
'Cause when l'm feelin' low
I don't want to have to go out lookin'
For a part-time kind of love

And when the dreams and rainbows start to disappear
Don't want somebody up and runnin' outa here
'Cause when you stop and start
Baby it's just too hard upon my heart
That part-time kind of love

And I can't take you darlin' livin' here wait and see
I want somebody who's committed now to me
Somewhere, someday you'll have to take a chance
So if you like the music baby
get up and dance

And if we grow together daring to dream
I know we'll find our shares of peaches and cream
And when the juices flow
I don't want no no no excuses
Just want your full time love for me
Just want your full time love for me.

"Chain Me"

"Chain Me"


I lay awake at night and thinkin' how I'm gonna get into you
I pray with all my mind and gonna do it right ...to you
I think I'm 'bout saying and I don't know I can set astray
And if you wanna keep me away I think you're gonna have to chain me

How come you are the only one
Who makes me feel this way I do about you
I've always been lazy now I'm crazy when I am without you
You lit the flame and I'm not about to take away
And if you wanna keep me away I think you're gonna have to chain me

You started the fire and taught me desire
For chains cannot bind the feelings are burnin' my mind

Now here I am beside you, I can't hide the way my body's shaking
The way my heart is bound
Man, it's sounding like it's gotta be breaking
I tried to stop in vain, but it's like Itried to stop a big freight train
And if you wanna keep me away I think you're gonna have to chain me
And if you wanna keep me away I think you're gonna have to chain me

"Light Of My Life"

"Light Of My Life"


Never before have I seen the light
Things ever going wrong and now going right
And things are looser that once more tight
That’s all because of you...
You got me dancing your boogie beat
You called the steps and I moved my feet
You know I’m lovin’ your different drum
I like you really cause I know where it’s from
Is where it’s comin’ from

And you’re the light of my life
Shinin’ down to show the way
Yes, you’re the light of my life
Burnin’ strong and helping me along...

If I’d never ever met you girl
I never would’ve seen so bright a world
This music playin’ inside my head
It keeps repeating all the things that you said
Yes, all the things you said

And you’re the light of my life
Shinin’ down to show the way
Yes, you’re the light of my life
Burnin’ strong and helping me along...

Yes, you’re the light of my life
Shinin’ down and helping me along
Yes, you’re the light of my life
Burnin’ strong to show me the way

"Someday"

"Someday"


Love me
Forget about tomorrow now and love me
There's time enough to borrow from another day
So just for now
Let's touch and do the things that drive my cares away

Hold me
Forget the world outside tonight and hold me
And by the flickering candle light
Our love will glow
And then we'll share the words and feelings no one else will ever know

We should never end
Hand in hand we'll walk the night forever
But if it can't be so
There's one more thing I need before I go

Just kiss me
And tell me when I'm gone how much you miss me
Forget the lonely in between
And then someday
We'll open up our eyes and see the world we thought so far away
Someday, someday

"Greener Days"

"Greener Days"


As I write this letter
I hope you're feelin' better
Than I am as I sit here
Fightin' back a tear
'Cause my mind keeps shiftin'
Back in time it's driftin'
To the days when you were near
'Cause those were greener days
That we knew
Just me and you
Sharin' the world together
But as they came
They went away
Our days of green turned into grey

So I watched the sunrise
Hopin' maybe your eyes
Will come shinin' down on me
To brighten up my world
Like it once was glowin'
When your face was showin'
Me the way to find our love
Those were greener days
That we had
It's kinda to bad
They couldn't last forever
But we'll go on

Our seperate ways
'Cause our greener days
Has turned into grey

I better close and sign my name
It's gettin' late
But don't forget our chance
To twist the hands of fate
So the greener days
Will return deeper they'll grow
With every spring rain of love
Rainbows will shine
You will be mine
And our greener days
Will never fade away

Yes, the greener days
Will return deeper they'll grow
With every spring rain of love
Rainbows will shine
You will be mine
And our days of green
Will never fade away
They'll never turn to grey
They'll never fade away

"Strangers"

"Strangers"


See the couple walking by
You can tell they've lost the twinkle in their eye
There's no smiling when they laugh and there's no tears when they cry...

Now the magic is all gone
It makes you wonder what their lives are living on
They can hardly even make it through 'till dawn...

Strangers! - strangers! - strangers in the night!
Hoping ev'rything will turn out right
There's danger! - danger in the night!
You've got to move in closer to the light.

See the father and his son
From a distance don't it seem they're having fun
But just a little closer look reveals that they're having none...

Neither tries to understand
Both ashamed to give or get a helping hand
And so concerned the other thinks that he's a man...

Strangers! - strangers! - strangers in the night!
They're hoping ev'rything will turn out right
There's danger! - danger in the night!
You've got to move in closer to the light
Oh please help all the strangers in the night.

Though the answer may seem clear
It's still a ways to go to get from there to here
Just remember we're all strangers now to someone who's near...

Choose your words they're all like keys
That open doors that stand between the you's and me's
Today is not too late to start so if you please...

Strangers! - strangers! - strangers in the night!
Hopin' ev'rything will turn out right
They're strangers! - strangers to the light!
Ya got to move in closer to the light
Oh please help all the strangers in the night.

"Goodbye Girl"

"Goodbye Girl"



All your life you've waited
For love to come and stay
And now that I have found you
You must not slip away

I know it's hard believing
The words you've heard before
But darlin' you must trust them
Just once more

'Cause baby, goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again
If you wake up and I'm not there, I won't be long away
'Cause the things you do, my goodbye girl, will bring me back to you

I know you've been taken
Afraid to hurt again
You fight the love you feel for me
Instead of giving in

But I can wait forever
A-helping you to see
That I was meant for you
And you for me

So remember goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again
Though we may be so far apart you still will have my heart
So forget your past, my goodbye girl
'Cause now you're home at last

"Took The Last Train"

"Took The Last Train"


Took the last train to St. Tropez
Had in mind to dance the night away
Experimented with a cognac high
When in France you give everything a try

Soon the crowd dwindled down to two
Not a soul around but me and you
You just smiled in French and took my hand
Spoke the words I tried my best to understand

You're tellin' me
Viens chez moi
Ce soir va jamais terminer
On va rester toujours ensemble

You're tellin' me
Come with me
Tonight will last forever
We will stay together always, I love you

Woke the next day and found her note
Love ya, goodbye, that's all she wrote
And every night down at the place we met
I wait for her and those sweet words I can't forget

You're tellin' me
Viens chez moi
Ce soir va jamais terminer
On va rester toujours ensemble

'Cause I want you to
Come with me
Tonight will last forever
We will stay together always

I need you baby
Need you, need you bad
I took the last train, St. Tropez
I took the last train, St. Tropez
Took the last train, St. Tropez
I took the last train, St. Tropez
I took the last train, St. Tropez
I took the last train, St. Tropez
I took the last train, St. Tropez

"Overnight Sensation"


"Overnight Sensation"

Hollywood sure looked good to me when I first came
Made my vow, somehow everyone would know my name
Patiently, kept on waiting for my chance to come
Prideful me, there's no returning to where I came from

But she went back, the lovely lady who come west with me
She could not wait, now she's married, living happily
But I still say a superstar is just a break away
And I must try, it's do or die 'til I hear the people say

You made it, you made it
Our local boy has made it good
You made it, you made it
Overnight sensation in Hollywood

Back again, make the rounds and go from door to door
Sorry friend, you're just not quite what we were looking for
A letter comes, she still writes to you from time to time
You'd like to call, but she's too happy and, besides, you need the dime

Then, at last, someone's calling with a role to play
It concerns a man who's lost his lover when she went away
A star is born, no one's ever seen it played so well
It almost seems the tears are real but it's just too hard to tell

You made it, you made it
Found the price and paid it, I knew you would
You made it, you made it
Overnight sensation in Hollywood, yes sir
You made it, you made it
Our local boy has made it good
You made it, you made it
Overnight sensation in Hollywood, yes sir
You made it, you made it
Found the price and paid it, I knew you would
You made it, you made it
Overnight sensation in Hollywood, yes sir
