"This Nearly Was Mine"

"This Nearly Was Mine"

One dream in my heart, one love to be living for,
One love to be living for, this nearly was mine.
One girl for my dream, one partner in paradise,
This promise of paradise, this nearly was mine.
Close to my heart she came, only to fly away,
Only to fly as day flies from moonlight.
Now, now I'm alone, still dreaming of paradise,
Still saying that paradise once nearly was mine.

"This Town"

"This Town"

This town is a lonely town
Not the only town like-a this town
This town is a make-you town
Or a break-you-town and bring-you-down town

This town is a quiet town
Or a riot town like this town
This town is a love-you town
And a shove-you-down and push-you-'round town

[instrumental]

This town is an all-right town
For an uptight town like-a this town
This town, it's a use-you town
An abuse-you town until-you're-down town

This town is a losin' town
It's a miserable town
It's a nowhere town
And I am leavin' this town
You better believe that I'm leavin' this town
Man, it could never be uptown
It's bound to be downtown

[Fade]

This town, bye-bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye-bye

"This Was My Love"

"This Was My Love"

Soft as a raindrop, fresh as the sea
Warm as the sunshine shining on me
This was my love, this was my love

Light was her laughter, few were her tears
Gentle her beauty, tender her years
This was my love, this was my love

So young, so fair, such bright golden hair
A smile always on her face
No other love can ever compare
No other can take her place

Others may cherish fortune or fame
I will forever cherish her name
For this was my love
This was my love!

"Three Coins In The Fountain"

"Three Coins In The Fountain"

Three coins in the fountain,
Each one seeking happiness.
Thrown by three hopeful lovers,
Which one will the fountain bless?

Three hearts in the fountain,
Each heart longing for its home.
There they lie in the fountain
Somewhere in the heart of Rome.

Which one will the fountain bless?
Which one will the fountain bless?

Three coins in the fountain,
Through the ripples how they shine.
Just one wish will be granted,
One heart will wear a valentine.

Make it mine!
Make it mine!
Make it mine!

[Musical interlude]

Three coins in the fountain,
Through the ripples how they shine.
And just one wish will be granted,
One heart will wear a valentine.

Make it mine!
Make it mine!
Make it mine!

"Tie A Yellow Ribbon Around The Ole Oak Tree"

"Tie A Yellow Ribbon Around The Ole Oak Tree"

I'm coming home I've done my time,
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine,
If you receive my letter tellin' you I'd soon be free,
Then you'll know just what to do, if you still want me, if you still want me.
Tie a yellow ribbon `round the ole oak tree,
It's been three long years, do ya still want me?
If I don't see a ribbon ,round the ole oak tree,
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us, put the blame on me
If I don't see a ribbon `round the ole oak tree.
Bus driver, please look for me `cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see,
I'm really still in prison, and my love, she holds the key,
Simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free.
I wrote and told her please tie a yellow ribbon `round the ole oak tree,
It's been three long years, do ya still want me?
If I don't see a ribbon `round the ole oak tree,
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us, put the blame on me,
If I don't see a ribbon `round the ole oak tree.
Now the whole damn bus is cheering and I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons `round the ole oak tree.

"Time After Time"

"Time After Time"

What good are words I say to you?
They cant convey to you whats in my heart
If you could hear instead
The things Ive left unsaid

Time after time
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you

So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through

I only know what I know
The passing years will show
Youve kept my love so young, so new

And time after time
Youll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you

"Tina"

"Tina"

You simply can't forget her
The moment you have met her, your heart will never ever be the same
Tina, Tina, nobody else but Tina, that's the little lady's name

And once you've gone and kissed her
Give up, you can't resist her, your thoughts will wear her picture like a frame
Tina, Tina, nobody quite like Tina, that's the little lady's name

She'll merely smile, and in a twinkling
You'll swear that smile contains a star
Before that smile, you had no inkling
How much in love you really are

Let others look for angels
I have no time for angels, I've found someone more than just divine
Tina, Tina, no sir, you can't have Tina
Tina is mine, all mine
Tina is mine, all mine

"To Love A Child"
(feat. Nikki Costa)

"To Love A Child"
(feat. Nikki Costa)

(Lala lalalala, lala lalalala, lala lalalala, lalala.)
Said the older to the younger giraffe, do you need someone to care for?
Said the older to the younger giraffe, I'm available and therefore
Hand and hand they both went down to spend the day in jungle town.
Anything that they can do, humans can do too.
As one human to another, I'd like to question you (what's the question?)
If it takes the sun and the rain to make a tree grow, (that's a hard one)
If it takes the moon and the tide to make the sea flow,
What does it take to love a child? (to love a child)
To love a child (to love a child)
You can start with a smile and after a while,
A hug and a kiss, it takes no more than this
To love a child (to love a child), hmm, hmm, hmm (hmm, hmm, hmm)
Said the bigger to the smaller raccoon, do you need someone to move you,
Said the smaller to the bigger raccoon, if you move I will follow.
(Up they went to climb a tree, they end the day most happily.)
(Anything that they can do, humans can do too.)
As one human to another, I'd like to question you.
If it takes the sun and the rain to make the tree grow, (to make the tree grow)
If it takes the moon and the tide to make the sea flow, (to make the sea flow)
What does it take to love a child? (to love a child)
To love a child (to love a child)
You can start with a smile and after a while,
A hug and a kiss, it takes no more than this
To love a child (to love a child), to love a child (hmm, hmm, hmm)
To love a child (lala, lalala, lala lalala, lala lalala, lala lalala, lala lalala)
(lala lalala, lala lalala, lala lalala, lala lalala, lala lalala, lala lalala,)
(lala lalala..)

"Together"

"Together"

[She:] We strolled the lane together, last out the rain together
Sang love's refrain together, and we both pretend it would never end,
One day we cry together, that's why we sigh together,
You're gone from me but in my memory, we'll always be together.
[He:] We strolled the lane together, baby, we last out that rain together,
Sang love's refrain together, we knew long ago that our love would grow,
[She:] Through sun and storm together,
[He:] Our hearts as one together,
You're gone from me, but in my memory,
[Both:] We'll always be together.

"Too Close For Comfort"

"Too Close For Comfort"

Be wise, be smart, behave, my heart
Don't upset your cart, when she's so close
Be soft, be sweet, but be discreet
Don't go off your beat, she's so close for comfort

Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say when
Be firm, be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation

One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort now

Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say when
So be firm and be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation

One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort now

Too close, much too close
She's much too close for comfort now
