"Yesterday When I Was Young"

"Yesterday When I Was Young"



Yesterday, when I was young
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame.

The thousand dreams I dreamed,
The splendid things I planned
I always built, alas, on weak and shifting sand
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
And only now I see how the years ran away.

Yesterday, when I was young.
So many lovely songs were waiting to be sung.
So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see.

I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation I can now recall
Concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all.

Yesterday, the moon was blue
And every crazy day brought something new to do
I used my magic age as if it were a wand
And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond.

The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died,
The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
And only I am left on stage to end the play.

There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue,
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday
... when I was young.

Yesterday, when I was young.
So many lovely songs were waiting to be sung.
So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see.

"You And I"

"You And I"



You and I will travel far together
We'll pursue our little star together
We'll be happy as we are together
We may never get to heaven

But it's heaven, at least to try
You and I are going on together
'Til the time we have is gone together
Watch the evening drawing on together

Growing older, growing closer
Making memories that light the sky

That only time can make
That only love can make
That only we can make

You and I
You and I are going on together
'Til the time we have is gone together

Watch the evening drawing on together
Growing older, growing closer
Making memories that light the sky

That only time can make
That only love can make
That only we can make

You and I
You and I, You and I,...

"You Are The Sunshine Of My Life"

"You Are The Sunshine Of My Life"



You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart

I feel like this is the beginning
Though I've loved you for a million years
And if I thought our love was ending
I'd find myself drowning in my own tears
Who-o-o-o Who-o-o-o

You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always stay around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart

You must have known that I was lonely
Because you came to my rescue
And I know that this must be heaven
How could so much love be inside of you

"You Made Me Love You"

"You Made Me Love You"



You made me love you
I didn't wanna do it
I didn't wanna do it
You made me want you
And all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it

You made me happy sometimes
You made me glad
But there were times
You made me feel so bad

You made me cry for
I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't wanna tell you
I want some love that's true
Yes, I do, 'deed I do
You know I do

Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie what I cry for
You know you've got the brand of kisses
That I'd die for
You know you made me love you

You made me cry for
I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't wanna tell you
I want some love that's true
Yes, I do, 'deed I do
You know I do

Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie what I cry for
You know you've got the brand of kisses
That I'd die for
You know you made me love you

"You Never Done It Like That"

"You Never Done It Like That"



You're so terrific
Ooooh you never done it like that
You've never been this way before.
To be specific
Ooooh you never done it like that
Who went and opened up the door?
My lips are burnin'
Yeah, you never done it like that
I thought the flame was dead and gone.
But you've been learnin'
Yeah you never done it like that
How long has this been goin' on?

Ooooh, ooooh, who's been teachin' you?
Show me the man and let me shake his hand.
Hey look at me, I feel just like Columbus
I did discover you're some kind of lover.

My mind is blowin'
Ooooh you never done it like that
You got me climbin' up the wall.
My love is growin'
Yeah, you never done it like that
You know you made me ten feet tall.

Ooh what youre doin',
Ooh what youre doin',
Ooh what youre doin',
You never done it, You never done it,
You never done it like that.

Ooh what youre doin',
Ooh what youre doin',
Ooh what youre doin',
You never done it, You never done it,
You never done it like that.

Oh what a feelin'
Ooooh you never done it like that
Not since I can remember when.
I'm on the ceiling
Hey you never done it like that
Looks like we got it on again.

Do it again
Do it again
Do it again
Do it again

Ooh what youre doin',
Ooh what youre doin',
Ooh what youre doin',
You never done it, You never done it,
You never done it like that.

Ooh what youre doin',
Do it again
Ooh what youre doin',
Do it again
Ooh what youre doin',
You never done it, You never done it,
You never done it like that.

Ooh what youre doin',
Do it again
Ooh what youre doin',
Ooh what youre doin',
You never done it, You never done it,
You never done it like that

"You Take My Heart Away"



Touch me,
take me in your arm,
shelter me from harm,
let me love you for a million years or more,
I never felt this way before,
before your kiss,

bring me all the dreams you thought would never be,
we'll make them all reality,
just you and me,
you take my heart away, away.

You're my dream come true,

I confess I need ya,
I will never leave you alone,
o I love you true,
my whole world is you,
I confess I need ya,
and I will never leave you alone.
You take my heart away, away.

"You'll Never Know"

"You'll Never Know"



(You'll never know)
You'll never, never know I care
You'll never know the torch I bear
You'll never know it, for I won't show it
Oh no you'll never, never know

(You'll never know)
You'll never, never see me cry
Not even when you're glancing by
For I won't weaken, when we're speaking
Oh no you'll never, never know

You'll know the use to me
That I was before
You'll see the used to be
That one you did adore

(You'll never know)
No, no I know I won't reveal
The way I really, truly feel
But if you guess it, I'll confess it
Oh darling now's the time to glow
Or else you'll never, never know

You'll know the use to me
That I was before
You'll see the used to be
That one you did adore

(You'll never know)
No no I no I won't reveal
The way I really, truly feel
But if you guess it, I'll confess it
Oh darling now's the time to glow
Or else you never
No, no you'll never
Oh no you'll never
Never know
(You'll never know)

"You'll See"

"You'll See"



You think that I can't live without your love
You'll see,
You think I can't go on another day.
You think I have nothing
Without you by my side,
You'll see
Somehow, some way

You think that I can never laugh again
You'll see,
You think that you destroyed my faith in love.
You think after all you've done
I'll never find my way back home,
You'll see
Somehow, someday

All by myself
I don't need anyone at all
I know I'll survive
I know I'll stay alive,
All on my own
I don't need anyone this time
It will be mine
No one can take it from me
You'll see

You think that you are strong, but you are weak
You'll see,
It takes more strength to cry, admit defeat.
I have truth on my side,
You only have deceit
You'll see, somehow, someday

All by myself
I don't need anyone at all
I know I'll survive
I know I'll stay alive,
I'll stand on my own
I won't need anyone this time
It will be mine
No one can take it from me
You'll see

You'll see, you'll see
You'll see, mmmm, mmmm

"You're Nearer"

"You're Nearer"



You’re nearer than my head is to my pillow
Nearer than the wind is to the willow
Dearer than the rain is to the Earth below
Precious as the sun to the things that grow

You’re nearer than the ivy to the wall is
Nearer than the winter to the fall is
Leave me but when you’re away, you’ll know
You’re nearer for I love you so

Leave me but when you’re away, you’ll know
You’re nearer for I love you so

"You've Made Me So Very Happy"

"You've Made Me So Very Happy"



I lost at love before
Got mad and closed the door
But you said "Try, just once more"

I chose you for the one
Now we're having so much fun
You treated me so kind
I'm about to lose my mind
You made me so very happy
I'm so glad you came into my life

The others were untrue
But when it came to you
I'd spend my whole life with you

'Cause you came and you took control
You touched my very soul
You always showed me that
Loving you is where it's at
You made me so very happy
I'm so glad you came into my life

I love you so much you see
You're even in my dreams
I hear you callin' me
I'm so in love with you
All I ever want to do is
Thank you babe, thank you babe

You made me so very happy
I'm so glad you came into my life
You made me so very happy
You made me so very happy
I'm so glad you came
Into my life
