"Once Upon A Memory"

"Once Upon A Memory"


Once upon a mem'ry I kissed lips as sweet as honey
And lived in heaven with an angel for a little while
I knew love sweet and tender in a world of perfect slender
Once upon a mem'ry before he said goodbye
Once upon a mem'ry the love would never ever end
I have a love I know I'll never ever have again
A love like those read in fairy tales filled with joy and laughter
Oh but he ended it and it broke my heart and I'm proud forever after
(Once upon a mem'ry find a love beyond compare)

Oh then his sweet lips once the sweet lips know that heaven in his eyes
Turned then to a cold and distant stand
Gone is the love sweet and tender the world of heartache knows no splender
Oh but once once upon a mem'ry I knew love beyond compare
Yes once upon a mem'ry...
That was once upon a mem'ry

"One Emotion After Another"
(from "Rhinestone" soundtrack)



It's just one emotion after another
They will dress themselves as angels and theives
They will make you believe you're in heaven
Then they'll drag you through hell on your knees
It's just one emotion after another
One day I'm up just as high as it goes
Next day I'm down to the lowest of lows
I do love you baby but we can't get along
With or without each other it's al right or it's all wrong

It's hard to determine where the balance should be
We swear It's forever while we're packing to leave
Each time we end it I swear never again
But the minute you come knockin' I can't wait to let you in

It's just one emotion after another
They will dress themselves as angels and theives
They will make you believe you're in heaven
Then they'll drag you through hell on your knees

It's just one emotion after another
It's been that way since lovim' began
Like an ocean love flows with it's highs and it's lows
Like the tide it just goes out and in
It's just one emotion after another

It's just one emotion after another
But I guess that's just the way that it goes
Love is rainbow and rain, Love is pleasure and pain
I cannot stay the same I suppose
But I love you and that's all I know

"One Of Those Days"

"One Of Those Days"


It's been one of those days
That reminded me in many ways
Of when we were happy, still in love
Just a certain way the wind blows
Just a certain way the sun glows
It's been one of those days that reminded me of us

And even though it's over I never will get over
These feelings that I get on certain days
And I know I'll always love you
And I'll always be thinkin' of you
In certain kinds of ways, on certain kinds of days
And today well, it's been one of those days

It's been one of those days and my heart feels so heavy
And my mind is so full of thoughts of you
It's been one of those days and I'd give my life to see you
And to once more know the love that we once knew

And even though it's over I never will get over
Oh these feelings that I get on certain days
I guess I know I'll always love you
And I'll always be thinkin' of you
In certain kinds of ways, on certain kinds of days
And today well, it's been one of, one of those days

It's been one of those days
That reminded me in many ways
Of when we were happy, still in love

"Only Dreamin'"

"Only Dreamin'"


Oh I know, I'm only dreaming.
'Cos I'll awake, and you'll be gone.
And my tears will still be streaming.
As my broken, heart beats on.

Yes I know, I'm only dreaming.
But I'll just, keep dreaming on.
I will dream about the pleasures.
That we shared in days gone by.

And I'll remember and I'll treasure,
Every kiss and your kind eyes.
And I will dream that you still hold me,
In your arms as you did then.

And I recall each thing you told me,
Hear your voice as I did then.
Yes I know, I'm only dreaming.
But I'll dream, and I will too.

I'll be here, and I'll be waiting,
And I will dream, of your return.
Some will say I'm being foolish,
While some will say that I'm just blind.

And that I want to face what the truth is
That you are, no longer mine.
But I will dream, your brave retallion
To some sweet day, to their surprise.
You will say your love's still burning,
You'll dry each tear drop from my eyes.

But I know, I'm only dreaming,
Cause I'll awake and be alone.
And my tears will still be streaming,
And you will still be just as gone.

Yes I know I'm only dreaming,
But I must keep dreaming... on

"Only Hand You'll Need To Hold"

"Only Hand You'll Need To Hold"


When you need to be loved let me love you when you need a friend reach out to me
When you need reassuring that it's alright anything you need that's what I'll be
For I want to be the one you always come to when you find you need a place to go
Let mine be the hand you always cling to
Mine will be the only hand you'll ever need to hold
Mine will be the only hand you'll ever need to hold
I can be the one that makes you happy I'll be your umbrella when it rains
I will be someone that you can count on in other words I'll be your everything
For I want to be the one...
I want to be the one...

"Only The Memory Remains"

"Only The Memory Remains"


You're gone now for good and it looks like I could
Stop crying but I cry just the same
When a heart breaks how long does it take
Till the pain stops and only the mem'ry remains
It's been a long time and you think that by this time
My tears would have drown on the face
I could live with a mem'ry oh but how long will it be
Till the pain stops and only the mem'ry remains
The fire that we started burns on though we parted
And our torture by the heat of the flame
If I'm strong enough to take it till the pain stops and can make it
When only the mem'ry remains
I could live with a mem'ry but how long will it be
Till the tears stop and the pain stops and only the mem'ry remains
Only the mem'ry only the mem'ry remains

"Ooo-Eee"

"Ooo-Eee"


I just came by to let you know
I'll never ever let you go, oh my
Ooo-eee my love
And if you ever, ever stray
I know that that will be the day
That I die, oh my
Ooo-eee my love

Ooo-eee, ooo-eee my baby
Ooo-eee my baby
Ooo-eee my love

I've been around the world a bit
But you're the best thing I've seen yet, oh my
Ooo-eee my love
And if you want to take me on
We might be at it until dawn, oh my
Ooo-eee my love

Ooo-eee, ooo-eee my baby
Ooo-eee my baby
Ooo-eee my love

Hey baby
You see where I've been and you know where I'm going
Oh come on boy
My heart's on my sleeve and my love is showing

And if you stay around
I'm never ever gonna let you down, oh my, oh my
Ooo-eee my love

Ooo-eee, ooo-eee my baby
Ooo-eee my baby
Ooo-eee my love

"Outside Your Door"

"Outside Your Door"


Darlin', I'm outside your door,
Knowin' you'll welcome me in.
Don't have to knock twice, it feels so right
Bein' here with you again.

Might not be the right thing to do
But I swear it doesn't feel wrong.
Might not be forever, but never say never,
I'm standin' outside of your door.

I guess I should feel cheap,
But I just can't keep
My mind and my hands off of you.
The way we make love
Is so far above
Anything I ever knew.

So here I am, I'm outside your door,
Knowin' what's waitin' inside.
Heaven on earth and for all that it's worth,
We'll be here til we're both satisfied.

Two bottles of wine, one white and one red,
Few drinks to unwind, and then be off to bed.
We can't fight this passion, no need to pretend
And oh yes, I'll be outside your door again.

Darlin', I'm outside your door,
And I know you welcome me in.
(Don't have to knock twice)
It feels so right
Just bein' here with you again.
Yeah, I'm standin' outside of your door (once more)
And I know you'll welcome me in.

Don't have to knock twice, it feels so right,
Standin' outside of your door, once more.
I'm standin' outside of your door,
(Outside your door)
Once more.
(Outside your door)

"Packin' It Up"

"Packin' It Up"


I'm watching the clock, it says five to five
The minutes are ticking so slow
I'm ready to stop, gonna close up the shop
So honey if you're ready lets go
Take out your pinstripe suit
And your fancy cowboy boots
Now ain't it a crime when you're lookin' so fine
And tonight you're mine, all mine
[Chorus:]
Packin' it up, movin' on out
Headed up to the big town
Sure like them big city lights on a Saturday night
Coming in from the country
[Second Chorus:]
Packin it up, movin' on out
Headed up to the big town
Sure like those big city lights on a Saturday night
Coming in from the country
Take off my blue jeans
Slip on the hottest dress that you've ever seen
Just like an ad in a fashion magazine
It's you and me babe, a sight for sore eyes to see
Take in a movie or maybe a show
Dance all night just letting it go
Champagne and roses waiting back at our suite
So kick off your boots and make sweet love to me
[Repeat Second Chorus 3X]
[Repeat Second Chorus To Fade]

"Paradise Road"

"Paradise Road"


I grew up dirty and I grew up poor
The wolf didn't even hang 'round our door
Not a crumb to spare and the cupboard bare
And I had the gift of imagination
I could change my situation
Anytime I choose I could always go
Down Paradise Road
I found a kingdom deep within
A place dream and to pretend
And to prepare for the world out there
A dream can dress you when you're ragged
Fill you up when hunger's naggin'
I warmed my soul when life was cold
On Paradise Road
Paradise is a state of mind
The sun shines warm and all the time
And the rain don't flow and the wind don't blow
On Paradise Road
A place no one can take from me
A place of everlasting peace
Where dreamers go; It's never closed
Paradise Road
Paradise is a state of mind
Down the road of life and time
And the friends we meet
Make the travlin' sweet
On Paradise Road
Sometimes now when the world is mad
I find that place I've always had
Inside my soul; It's paved in gold
Paradise Road
I grew up dirty and I grew up poor
The wolf didn't even hang 'round our door
Not a crumb to spare and the cupboard bare
But I had the gift of imagination
I could change my situation
Anytime I choose I could always go
Down Paradise Road
