"Take The Short Way Home"

"Take The Short Way Home"



Take the short way home

You've been makin' up your mind
And I can save you from the trouble that your heart is goin' through
And I can tell you what your future's gonna be
Maybe we can open up your eyes
Baby, you can't leave me now

There is lightening in the city
Stranger than you ever saw
Get back to your special lover
And I won't ever turn on you
Or tell you you should tell me where you go

Take the short way home
Baby, take care of your health
In this world of evil
I can't keep you to myself

Take the short way home
You'll be safe here by my side
In this world of evil
I can't keep you satisfied

And you can make it easy on yourself
Some other love will call my name when you're away and I'll be gone
And there's no other who could love you more
I keep talkin' to myself when I'm alone
I don't wanna be alone

Crazy people in the shadows
Love is only what you find
Come back here and you'll discover
There ain't nothin' you've been searchin' for
I could not give you now if you are gone

Take the short way home (Home)
Baby, take care of your health
In this world of evil
I can't keep you to myself

Take the short way home
You'll be safe here by my side
In this world of evil
I can't keep you satisfied

Crazy people in the shadows
Love is only what you find
Come back here and you'll discover
There ain't nothin' you've been searchin' for
I could not give you now if you are gone

Take the short way home (Take the short way home)
Baby, take care of your health (Take care of your health)
In this world of evil
I can't keep you to myself (Hey, hey)

Take the short way home (The short way home)
You'll be safe here by my side (Be safe here by my side)
In this world of evil (Yeah) I can't keep you satisfied (Can't keep you satisfied)

Take the short way home (Take the short way home)
Baby, take care of your health (Take care of your health)
In this world of evil (Oh)
I can't keep you to myself

Take the short way home
You'll be safe here by my side (Right by my side)
In this world of evil
I can't keep you satisfied (Yeah, yeah)

Take the short way home (Home)
Baby, take care of your health (Oh, yeah)
In this world of evil
I can't keep you to myself

Take the short way home

"That's What Friends Are For"
(originally by Rod Stewart)



And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe, I love you

And if I should ever go away
Well, then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Well, you came in loving me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way
I thank you

Oh and then for the times when we're apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
The words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember

Keep smiling and keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
In good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
'Cause I tell you, that's what friends are for
Whoa, good times and the bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

"The Balance Of Nature"

"The Balance Of Nature"



Once to every bird there comes along
The one bird that sings her a sweeter song
And the balance of nature goes on
Forever and ever with true love

Once to every deer there comes a deer
And from that first moment it's very clear that
The balance of nature goes on
Forever and ever with true love

Day by day we search for love
The way we all were born to do
Not one by one but two by two

So, as long as there's a you and me
Together that's how it will always be
And the balance of nature goes on
On, and on with true love

"The Beginning Of Loneliness"

"The Beginning Of Loneliness"



I keep staring at the door and I keep waiting for the bell
That used to say you've come to call once more
The beginning's begun, the beginning of loneliness

Just look around and you'll see an empty chair
There in the corner of the room
Where you would wait 'til I walked down the stair
The beginning's begun, the beginning of loneliness

You've gone away
And loneliness just fills my life and never goes away
My empty arms reach for you
Oh, won't you think it over, my love?

Can't we start again? Think it over, come back
Just how many tears do I have to cry?
You've got to love me, if you don't love me I'll die

The beginning's begun, the beginning of loneliness

You've gone away
And loneliness just fills my life and never goes away
My empty arms reach for you
Oh, won't you think it over, my love?

Can't we start again? Think it over, come back
Just how many tears do I have to cry?
You've got to love me, if you don't love me I'll die
You know I've said, you've got to love me, if you don't love me I'll die

The beginning's begun, the beginning of loneliness

"The Green Grass Starts To Grow"

"The Green Grass Starts To Grow"



The world outside your house is cold and windy
The summer breeze becomes a winter storm
And then you smile at me
And almost instantly
The weather turns warm

Slowly the green grass starts to grow
Softly the sunshine of your smile
Melts the snow

When I'm alone the streets are dark and cloudy
I walk around not knowing danger of night
And then you touch my hand
That's all that happens
And the whole world turns bright

Slowly the green grass starts to grow
Softly the sunshine of your smile
Melts the snow

To me you're everything that's true
My world begins and it will end
With only you
Forever

Slowly the green grass starts to grow
Softly the sunshine of your smile
Melts the snow

Slowly the green grass starts to grow
Softly the sunshine of your smile
Melts the snow

And now you're here
My lonely days are through
Oh I'm so glad

"The Love Of A Boy"
(originally by Timi Yuro)

"The Love Of A Boy"
(originally by Timi Yuro)



The love of a boy
Can change a girl
Into a woman

(Woman, a woman)

I know that it's true
My love for you
Made me a woman

One time I was only a girl
Young and afraid
You came to me
And you gave me love
What a difference you made

The love of a boy
Can change a girl
Into a woman

(Woman, a woman)

With just one caress
Your tenderness
Made me a woman
Made me a woman

You are faithful and true
Love burning deep in my heart
Is onl . . .
And it's only for you
My true love

Woah, oh oh, oh oh
Woah, oh oh, oh oh . . .

"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 brought 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

"The Way You Look Tonight"

"The Way You Look Tonight"



Some day, when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

Yes, you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
And the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows
Tearin' my fear apart
And that laugh..wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart

Lovely, never, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it ?
Cause I love you just the way you look tonight

And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
It touches my foolish heart

Lovely, don't you ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it ?
Cause I love you just the way you look tonight

Mm, mm mm, mm,
Just the way you look tonight
