Keep Smiling

Keep Smiling



Keep smiling, keep smiling, keep smiling, keep right on smiling

I know sometimes your whole world seems blue

Seems like the whole weight of the world is resting on you

But remember when you hang your head, it’s hard to see the sun

There’s a brighter day, yes it is, just ask and I sure will come

But you’ve got to keep (keep smiling) well, ooh, yeah

(keep smiling) keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on

(keep smiling) ooh, ha (don’t you ever stop smiling)

Oh, don’t you ever stop, no, no, no, oh, when you’ve got to keep on stepping on

You know that you’ve got to be strong and understand the facts of life

You won’t get no place until you make some sacrifice

Try to make it a little easy when you’re doing it on your own

Once you think you’ve got everything, the next day it’s all gone

But you got to keep (keep smiling), well, well, well, well (keep smiling)

Oh I know it’s hard, I know it’s hard, but you’ve to keep (keep smiling), oh---

(don’t you ever stop smiling) yeah, yeah---, oh-----, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh---

Yeah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, (keep smiling) keep a grin on your face yaul

Keep on stepping now, (keep smiling) oh, keep your head up to the sky

(keep smiling) oh-got to notice on the tip of your eyes, (keep smiling)

You’ve got to keep on, keep on, keep on, (keep smiling)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, (keep smiling), ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha---

(keep smiling) oh--keep on (don’t you ever stop smiling) smile, smile---

Keeping A Light

Keeping A Light


Hey, did you happen to see my sweet baby?

He was walkin on down the road

Tell him for me that if you see him tonight

Everything is alright

’cause I know how he gets when he’s low

Oh, he’s a beautiful man

Kinda hard to understand but

He’s the only good man that I know

Won’t you tell him for me

I’m keepin a light shinin in the window

Just in case he decides to come home

Shining in the window just in case he decides to come home

(he’s a beautiful man, kinda hard to understand)

But he’s the only good man that I know

Won’t you tell him for me? (tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him)

I’m keeping a light (tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him) shining in the window

Just in case he decides to come home (ooh, ah)

Shining in the window

Just in case he decides to come home

Oh, we had quite a spat and that was all that but

We both said things that we didn’t mean

Won’t you tell him for me (tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him)

I’m keeping a light (tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him) shining in the window

Just in case he decides to come home (ooh, ah)

Shining in the window

In case he decides to come home

I’m keepin (ooh, ah) a light, baby

Just in case he decides to come home

Can’t (ooh, ah) you see the light?

Can’t (ooh, ah) you see the light?

Keepin (ooh, ah) a light, baby

Just in case he decides to come home

Oh, (tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him) just in case, just in case

L - o - v - e

L - O - V - E

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can love

It's all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart but please don't break it
Love was made for me and you

[Instrumental]

Ya L is for the way you look, you lookin at me

V is so very very extraordinary
now E is even more than any any any one that you adore can love

It's all that I'm gonna give to you
OH love, is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart but please don't break it
Ya love was made for me and you
I'm telling you love was made for me and you
Don't you know that love was made for me and you
OH YA!!!!!!!!!!

La Costa

La Costa



Picture yourself on the sea of a setting sun

The salty air and the taste of your lover’s hair

Inside you want to fly

Ah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi

Come to the magical mist where the oceans kissed

A thousand kisses or more on the sandy shore

And never says goodbye

Ah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi

Ooh, la costa, ooh

Ooh, la costa, ooh

Come feel the warm of the breeze as the swaying trees

Caress the velvety skies like a whisper telling you to come and fly

Ah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi

Musical interlude

Run with the wind at your side let it set you free

I’ll watch the sun in your eyes as the seagulls fly

Along this lover’s isle

Ah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi

You are my love and my life, you’re my everything

You calm the sea of my soul oh so tenderly

It makes me very high

Ah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi

Ooh la costa, wee, ooh, wee

Ooh la costa, ooh

Picture yourself on the sea...

Come feel the warm of the breeze..

La costa......

Let There Be Love

Let There Be Love




Let there be you, let there be me

Let there be oysters under the sea

Let there be wind, occasional rain

Chili con carne, and sparkling champagne

Let there be birds to sing in the trees

Someone to bless me whenever I sneeze

Let there be cuckoos, a lark and a dove

But first of all, please

Let there be love

Musical interlude

(scat)

Let there be birds to sing in the trees

I need someone to bless me whenever I sneeze

Let there be cuckoos, cuckoos

A lark and a dove

But first of all, please

Let there be love

Oh let there be love ya’ll

Ooh we gotta have some, really gotta have some

We need love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love

Say we need a little bit of love, little bit, little bit of love

(scat)

Really need a little bit

Livin’ for Love

Livin’ for Love



Who do you love when your heart has had enough

And it’s just another lie, and all you can do is cry

Where can you go when you’re left with just too much

And its’ more than you can take, gotta find another way

¡®cause we’ve all been there before and our hearts keep wanting more

But no matter how I’m beat down, broke down, tore down, wore down

Fed up, messed up, I still get up I’m gonna keep on

(livin’ for love) no one can stop me from (livin’ for love) hey, hey, hey

(livin’ for love) who do you trust when you’ve given all you’ve got

And there’s nothing left inside but another damn goodbye

Hey, how do you know if it’s just another night

And you’re heart won’t be betrayed then you face another day

¡®cause we’ve all been there before and our hearts keep wanting more

But no matter how I’m beat down, broke down, tore down, wore down

Fed up, messed up, I still get up (livin’ for love) cause I’m livin’ for love

(livin’ for love) no one can stop me from

(livin’ for love) no one can hold me from (livin’ for love) I’m livin’

(livin’ for love) I’m livin’ for love (livin’ for love) oh, yes, I am, are you

(livin’ for love) because I’m livin’ for love y’all

Jacked up, backed up, cracked up, fed up, talked up, messed up, I still get up

¡®cause I’m livin’ for love, ooh, ooh (livin for love, livin) livin

(livin for love, livin for love) no on can stop me from

(livin for love, livin) uh huh I’m gonna keep (livin for love, livin for love)

But no matter how I’m beat down, broke down, tore down, wore down

Fed up, messed up, I still get up (livin’ for love) sha da da da da

(livin’ for love) whoa whoa whoa whoa (livin’ for love) no one can stop me

(livin’ for love)i may be tore down, wore down

Fed up, messed up, backed up(livin’ for love)

Stepped on, splattered on (livin’ for love for love)

I may be broke down and beat down and tore down and wore down

And fed up, and messed up but it’s all right and you can kiss my

(livin’ for love) because I’m livin for love y’all

Never gonna give up, no

Love & Kisses

Love & Kisses



Hmm, talking on the telephone early in the morning dawn, softly singing in your ear

A song that I wrote last night, it’s so very hard my dear, you are there

And I am here, somehow words I try to say, they just don’t seem to sound right

Conversation’s getting thin and my patience is too, I gotta go I’ll call you when

My show is through, oh, hello operator, give me a little more time

In the meantime get my baby on the line, please, in the meantime

Get my baby on that line, I’m sending love and kisses on the telphone wire

I hope he gets them in time, hmm, hmm, love and kisses across the pacific

Gonna send them to that baby of mine, yeah, gonna send them to that baby of mine

(how you doing....) sure do miss ya, I’d like to kiss ya

(what...) what’s that you said my dear, this connection’s not so clear

But if you said I love you, then you know that I feel the same way

Hope the kids are doing fine, do they still get to school on time

Oh by the way I really miss your face around about supper time

Conversation’s gettin thin and my patience is too, gotta go

I’ll call you when my show is through, I’m sending love and kisses

On the telephone wire, I hope he gets them in time

Oh, love and kisses across the pacific, gonna send them to that baby of mine

Hmm, gonna send them to that baby of mine

Oh, love and kisses, ooh, ooh, love and kisses

Love Is Here To Stay

Love Is Here To Stay


It's very clear
Our love is here to stay
Not for a year
But ever and a day

The radio and the telephone
And the movies that we know
May be passing fancies
And in time may go
But oh my dear
Our love is here to stay

Together we're
Goin' a long, long way
In time
the rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
they're only made of clay

But our love is here
Oh Our love is here
but our love is here to stay.

Love Is On The Way

Love Is On The Way




Ooh, hoo

You’re the only one who knew why I was leaving

And you’re the one who kept right on believing

I felt that I needed space to make it

I put a strain on love, I hope I didn’t break it

(love is on the way)

I’m comin’ home baby (love), ’cause I just can’t stay away

(love is on the way)

Ooh, I can hardly wait to see your face and kiss ya

And once I’m in your arms, you’ll know how much

I’ve missed you, baby

All the lonely nights I longed to have you near me

Calling out your name, hoping you would hear me

But it’s been so long

Now I’m comin’ home

(love) hey, honey

I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout our love all day

(love is on the way)

I’m comin’ home, honey (love),ooh

’cause I just can’t stay away

Oh (ooh), oh (ooh)

Hey, babe, if the love’s still there the feeling won’t be lost

Sure would like to pick up right where we left off

I’m gonna pack my bags and catch me an early flight

Love is on my mind, so I’ll be home tonight

(love) yeah, baby, hoo,oh (love is on the way)

Love is on the way (love)

Hoo, hoo, yeah (love is on the way)

Everywhere I go, in every face I see the sign of love

Shining so brightly, it’s in the air, it’s everywhere, I can feel it in my bones

Yeah, yeah, lovers, beautiful lovers, everywhere
