"The Way She Makes Me Feel"

"The Way She Makes Me Feel"



There's no chill and yet I shiver
There's no flame and yet I burn
I'm not sure what I'm afraid of
Yet I'm trembling

There's no storm yet I thunder
And I'm breathless, why I wonder
Weak one moment, then the next
I'm fine

I feel as if I'm falling every time I close my eyes
And flowing through my body is a river of surprise
Felling sorrow wakening, I hardly recognize
As mine

What are all these new sensations
What's the secret they reveal
I'm not sure I understand
But I like the way I feel

Oh, why is it that every time I close my eyes she's there
The water shining on his skin, the sunlight in her hair
And all the while I'm thinking things
That I can't wait to share with her

I'm a bundle of confusion
Yet it has a strange appeal
Did it all begin with her
And the way she makes me feel
I like the way she makes me feel

"The Way We Were"

"The Way We Were"



Memories
Like the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories
Of the way we were

Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? Could we?

Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? Could we?

Memories
May be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget

So it the laughter
The laughter, we'll remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were

"The Windmills Of Your Mind"

"The Windmills Of Your Mind"



Round
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On ever-spinning wheel

Like a snowball down the mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning
Running rings around the moon

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space

Like the circles that you find
In The Windmills Of Your Mind

Like the tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shown

Like a door that keeps revolving
And a half-forgotten dream
Or the ripples from the pebble
Someone tosses in a stream

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space

Like the circles that you find
In The Windmills Of Your Mind

Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that dangle in your head
Why the summer goes so quickly
Was it something that you said

Lovers walk along the shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Is the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand

Pictures hanging in a hallway
And the fragments of a song
Half-remembered and faces
But to whom do they belong?

When you knew that it was over
You were certainly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color of her hair

"The World I Threw Away"

"The World I Threw Away"



Today I saw you on the street
How sad it was for us to meet
For in that moment of 'hello'
I found the world that I let go
After all the years apart
How strange to find you in my heart
How sad to find that I still love you so
We spoke of all the happy days
Before we went our separate ways
Seeing you I knew the past
Had caught up with my heart at last
I was young and full of spring
Until I saw your wedding ring
It told me of the world I threw away

As we whispered our goodbyes
I held my tears behind my eyes
You kissed my cheek for old time's sake
And I could feel my poor heart break
It was a crazy thing to do
But when you left I followed you
I had to see the world I threw away
I saw the streets I left behind
I saw my yesterdays unwind
And in the park and in the square
The past was waiting everywhere
With each

"Theme From "Carnival" (Love Makes The World Go Round)"



(Yea, Yea and a Yea, Yeah!) Yes!

There's been a lot of talk about the game of love,
It's what everybody, everywhere, is thinking of!
The love bug's busy as he can be,
And I gotta a funny feeling that he just bit me!

'Cause love makes the world go 'round and around.
Love makes the world go 'round!
Your pulse will beat and your heart will pound,
'Cause love makes the world go 'round!

I met a little guy about four feet small,
Who fell in love with Annie who was eight feet tall!
Every time I see 'em comin' down the street,
I know true love just can't be beat!

'Cause love makes the world go 'round and around.
Love makes the world go 'round!
Your pulse will beat and your heart will pound,
'Cause love makes the world go 'round!

A goose got loose at the county fair,
They looked high and low but she wasn't there!
Up jumped a gander who said leave her alone,
When she misses old Dad, she'll come back home!
'Cause love makes the world go 'round... (and 'round and 'round!)

No matter what you do or where you go,
You get kinda lonely when the lights are low!
Everybody's gotta have a love that's true,
And I just gotta have you, you, you!

'Cause love makes the world go 'round and around.
Love makes the world go 'round!
Your pulse will beat and your heart will pound,
'Cause love makes the world go...
Love makes the world go...
Love! Makes the world go round!
Yea, Yea and a Yea, Yeah!

"Theme From 'Summer Of 42' (The Summer Knows)"

"Theme From 'Summer Of 42' (The Summer Knows)"



The summer smiles
The summer knows
And unashamed she sheds her clothes
The summer soothes the restless sky
And lovingly she warms the sand
On which you lie
The summer knows
The summer's wise
She sees the doubts within your eyes
And so she takes her summer time
Tells the moon to wait
And the sun to linger
Twists the world round her summer finger
Lets you see the wonder of it all
And if you've learned your lesson well
There's little more for her to tell
One last caress, it's time to dress for fall

And if you've learned your lesson well
There's little more for her to tell
One last caress, it's time to dress for fall

"Then I'll Be Tired Of You"

"Then I'll Be Tired Of You"



I'll be tired of you
When stars are tired of gleaming
When I am tired of dreaming
Then I'll be tired of you

This I know is true
When winds are tired of blowing
When grass is tired of growing
Then I'll be tired of you

Beyond the years till day is night
Till wrong is right, till birds refuse to sing
Beyond the years the echo of my only love
Will still be whispering, whispering

If my throbbing heart
Should ever start repeating
That it is tired of beating
Then I'll be tired of you

If my throbbing heart
Should ever start repeating
That it is tired of beating
Then I'll be tired of you

"Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye"

"Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye"



Kiss me each morning for a million years
Hold me each evening by your side

Tell me you'll love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss
Soften my dreams with your sighs

Tell me you'll love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

If you must go, oh no, I won't grieve
If you wait a lifetime before you leave
Then if you must go
Mmm, I won't tell you no
Just so that we can say we tried

Tell me you'll love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

"There Goes My Heart"

"There Goes My Heart"



There goes my heart, there goes the one I love
There goes the girl I wasn't worthy of
There goes my happiness, it couldn't be
There goes somebody else in place of me

Goodbye romance, it couldn't last somehow
I had my chance but it's all over now
I never thought that she could pass me by
There goes my heart and here am I

There goes my happiness, it couldn't be
There goes somebody else in place of me

Goodbye romance, it couldn't last somehow
I had my chance but it's all over now
I never thought that she could pass me by
There goes my heart and here am I

"There's A Kind Of Hush"

"There's A Kind Of Hush"



There's a kind of hush
All over the world tonight
All over the world you can hear
The sounds of lovers in love

Just the two of us and nobody else in sight
There's nobody else
And I'm feeling good, just holding you tight

So listen very carefully, get closer now
And you will see what I mean

The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
I love you forever and ever

There's a kind of hush
All over the world tonight
All over the world you can hear
The sounds of lovers in love

There's a kind of hush
All over the world tonight
All over the world you can hear
The sounds of lovers in love

There's a kind of hush
There's a kind of hush
All over the world
