"Live For Life"

"Live For Life"



Come with me, my love, and seize this day and live it, live it fully, live it fast
Never thinking once about tomorrow till tomorrow's been and gone and past
We'll pour the wine and fill the cup of joy and drink a drink as if it were the last
Live, just live for life

In paree today and amsterdam tomorrow, sixty minutes through the skies
Fly with me to see the setting summer sun and stay with me to see it rise
Then say to those who say "to live this way is mad", then mad we'd rather be than wise
Live, just live for life

If you let me I will lead you
Through the myst'ry and wonder
Of a world you've never known before
Share the splendors to be shared
Magic places to explore
There the dangers to be dared
Life is all of this and more
This and more

Yesterday's a memory gone for good forever while tomorrow is a guess
What is real is what is here and now, the here and now is all that we possess
So take my hand and we will taste the moment if for just the moment's happiness
Live, just live for life

Live, just live for life
Live, just live for life
Live, just live for life

"Live It Up"

"Live It Up"



It's all around town
Here's ten cents for mistakes he's made
It's all word of mouth
Oh but they say that's the price you pay
When you're in with the wrong crowd
Oh look at the mess you've made
Starring you down, every time you show your face

Ah to hell with all the small town small talk I've had enough
It ain't their place to judge
Man I'm giving up
And I said if you can't live it down
Might as well live it up
You live and you learn man
The worlds going to turn, ain't going to stop you
And I said if you can't live it down
Might as well live it up
Yeah forgiveness is yours in the hands of the Lord
Ain't nothing they can do
Hell live it up

She's made up her mind
This mistakes going to have a name
She's in for the nine
Awe but she just turned 18
It's a matter of time
Before she hits these streets
You say it ain't right
Aw but she don't wear no ring

Ah to hell with all the small town small talk I've had enough
It ain't their place to judge
Man I'm giving up
And I said if you can't live it down
Might as well live it up
You live and you learn man
The worlds going to turn, ain't going to stop you
And I said if you can't live it down
Might as well live it up
Yeah forgiveness is yours in the hands of the Lord
Ain't nothing they can do
Hell live it up

So let the sinless man, cast the first stone
And may the judgment in my life, belong to God alone

And I said if you can't live it down
Might as well live it up
You live and you learn man
The worlds going to turn, ain't going to stop you
And I said if you can't live it down
Might as well live it up
Yeah forgiveness is yours in the hands of the Lord
Ain't nothing they can do
Hell live it up

"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

Chills run up and down my spine, Aladdin's lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was never denied me
One look and then I knew
That all I longed for long ago was you

That all I longed for long ago
Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for long ago was you

"Looking At You"

"Looking At You"



I look at you and I say to myself
"What more could I want, if I had you?"
But I wouldn't dare to speak it out loud
I stand and I stare, my head in a cloud

I look at you and I say to my heart
"What chance would I have? Why let the fire start?"
I long to know the thrill of your sweet embrace
Yet when we're face to face, I just look at you

I long to know the thrill of your sweet embrace
Yet when we're face to face, I just look at you

"Lost In Loveliness"

"Lost In Loveliness"



What a thrill you are
What a sight to see
Something the eyes of mortals have no right to see
Am I on the earth or in the sky?
Lost in loveliness am I
When I look at you
I forget myself
I could go mad about you if I let myself
Should I let myself or pass you by?
Lost in loveliness am I
I know I'm reaching for a star
What's more; I know how dangerous you are
If I were wise
I'd close my eyes
Or walk away and worship from afar
In the lonely night
You would haunt my heart
And I would pray that someday you might want my heart
And I'd have to live my whole life through
Lost in loveliness, the loveliness of you

"Love"

"Love"



No love but your love can set my world on fire
No love but your love can fill me with desire

No love but your love can shape my destiny
No love but your love can make a slave of me

No arms but your arms can banish all my fears
No charms but your charms could last a thousand years

No love but your love will ever thrill me so
No love but your love will my heart ever know

No love but your love will my heart ever know

No love

"Love And Be Loved"

"Love And Be Loved"



Love (love) and be loved
Love (love) and be loved
Love and
Happy
Be loved
Come on and be loved
Oh baby
Love (love) and be loved

Why must this lull
Surround you
Don't make life so dull
Around you
Love is not reserved for letters
Only you can make it better

Love (love) and be loved
Oh baby
Love (love) and be loved

Please don't walk around so lonely
Someone will plan to love you only
Don't say no and don't say never
Give your heart in love forever.

Love (love) and be loved
Oh baby
Love (love) and be loved
Love and
Happy
Be loved
Come on and be loved
Oh baby
Love (love) and be loved

"Love Is A Gamble"

"Love Is A Gamble"



Back when I was still in school
I got taught as a rule
That my heart could always fool my head
So I tripped and fell a lot
Learning what true love was not
Till one evening Mama said we ought to talk

She said love is a gamble
It's a chance that you take
You lay your heart down
And you bet it won't break
You bet your sweet dreams
Won't get tattered and torn
But when that happens
You must shake off those blues
Just remember you've got nothing to lose
But you've had true love since the day you were born
Since the day you were born

Then she told me all she knew
About what makes true love true
And it hasn't much to do with heat
Young hearts race and then grow still
Passion cools and always will
But a river just keeps filling up the sea

You see love is a gamble
It's a chance that you take
You lay your heart down
And you bet it won't break
You bet your sweet dreams
Won't get tattered and torn
But when that happens
You must dream up some more
When you find it you'll have seen it before
But you've had true love
Since the day you were born

Love is a gamble
It's a chance that you take
To lay your heart down
And you bet it won't break
You bet your sweet dreams
Won't get tattered and torn
But when that happens
You must shake off those blues
And just remember you got nothing to lose
You've had true love
Since the day you were born
Since the day you were born

"Love Is Blue"

"Love Is Blue"



Johnny Mathis - Love Is Blue
Paul Mauriat - Love Is Blue
Blue, blue, my world is blue
Blue is my world now I'm without you
Gray, gray, my life is gray
Cold is my heart since you went away

Red, red, my eyes are red
Crying for you alone in my bed
Green, green, my jealous heart
I doubted you and now we're apart

When we met how the bright sun shone
Then love died, now the rainbow is gone

Black, black, the nights I've known
Longing for you so lost and alone
