"In The Still Of The Night"

"In The Still Of The Night"



In the still of the night
As I gaze out of my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts all stray, stray to you

In the still of the night
While the world lies in slumber
Oh the times without number
When I say to you

Do you love me
Just like I love you
Are you my life to be
That dream come true
Or will this dream of mine
Will it fade way out of sight

Just like that moon growing dim
Way out on the rim of the hill
In the still of the night

"Isn't It A Shame"

"Isn't It A Shame"



How is it that two people
Who laughed together and loved together
Sometimes end up far apart

And how is it that two people
Who cry together, wanna die together
Sometimes end up with a broken heart

Isn't it a shame my friend?
Sometimes such a love must end
Isn't it a shame?
You have to laugh before you cry

And how is it that two people
Who cling together, and dream together
Sometimes end up all alone

And how is it that two people
Who plan together, make a life together
Sometimes end up all alone

Isn't it a shame my friend?
Sometimes such a love must end
Isn't it a shame?
you have to laugh before you cry
Isn't it a shame my friend?
Sometimes such a love must end
Isn't it a shame?
you have to laugh before you cry

Isn't it a shame my friend
Sometimes such a love must end
Isn't it a shame?
you have to laugh before you cry
Isn't it a shame?
You have to laugh before you cry

"It Must Be Him"

"It Must Be Him"



I tell myself "What's done is done"
I tell myself "Don't be a fool
Play the field, have a lot of fun
It's easy when you play it cool"
I tell myself "Don't be a chump
Who cares, let him stay away"
That's when the phone rings, and I jump
And as I grab the phone I pray
"Let it please be him
Oh dear God it must be him
It must be him, or I shall die
I shall die"
After a while I'm myself again
I pick the pieces off the floor
I put my heart on the shelf again
He'll never hurt me anymore
I'm not a puppet on a string
I'll find somebody new someday
That's when the phone begins to ring
And once again I start to pray
"Let it please be him
Oh dear God it must be him
It must be him, or I shall die
I shall die
Oh, hello, hello
My dear God, it must be him
But it's not him, and then I die
Again I die
Oh, hello, hello
My dear God, it must be him
But it's not him, and then I die
Again I die
I shall die"

"It's Impossible"

"It's Impossible"



It's impossible
Tell the sun to leave the sky
It's just impossible
It's impossible

Ask a baby not to cry
It's just impossible
Can I hold you
Closer to me

And not feel you
Going through me
Split the second
That I never think of you

Oh how impossible
Can the ocean
Keep from rushing to the shore
It's just impossible

If I hold you
Could I ever want for more
It's just impossible
And tomorrow

Should you ask me for the world
Somehow I'd get it
I would sell my very soul
And not regret it

For to live without your love
Is just impossible
Can the ocean
Keep from rushing to the shore

It's just impossible
If I hold you
Could I ever want for more
It's just impossible

And tomorrow
Should you ask me for the world
Somehow I'd get it
I would sell my very soul

And not regret it
For to live without your love
Is just impossible

It's impossible
It's impossible
It's impossible

"Jessie"

"Jessie"



Jesse, come home
There's a hole in the bed
Where we slept
And now it's growin' cold
Hey Jesse, your face in the place
Where we lay by the hearth
All apart
It hangs on my heart
And I'm keeping the light on the stairs
No I'm not scared
I wait for you
Hey Jesse, I'm lonely, come home
Jesse, the floors and the boards
Recalling your steps
And I remember too
All the pictures are fading
And shaded in grey
But I still set a place
On the table at noon
And I'm leaving the light on the stairs
No I'm not scared
I'll wait for you
Hey Jesse, I'm lonely, come home
Jesse, the spread on the bed
Is like when you left
I've kept it up for you
All the blues and the greens
Have been recently cleaned
And it's seemingly new
Hey Jess', me and you
We'll swallow the light on the stair
We'll do up my hair
And sleep unaware
Hey Jesse, I'm lonely, come home
Hey Jesse, I'm lonely, come home...

"Jezahel"

"Jezahel"


Come tomorrow way down south
In St. Amore, oh oh oh
Reunited with my love
In St. Amore, oh oh oh

Jezahel, Jezahel
Jezahel, Jezahel

Will we both go home
So we can be together, oh oh oh
Really both go home
To stay in love forever, oh oh oh

Jezahel, Jezahel
Jezahel, Jezahel

Scorching sun upon a beach
Near El Cantina [unverified]
Out of reach, where there's no one
To come between us, oh oh oh

Jezahel, Jezahel
Jezahel, Jezahel

Yes, I scan your eyes, I scan your eyes
I see desire, oh oh oh
Wind and rain can't stop the flame
That starts the fire, oh oh oh

Jezahel, Jezahel
Jezahel, Jezahel
Jezahel, Jezahel

"Killing Me Softly With His Song"

"Killing Me Softly With His Song"



Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To listen for a while
And there he was this young boy
A stranger to my eyes

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasn't there
But he just kept on singing
Singing clear and strong

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

"Kiss Me Honey Honey"

"Kiss Me Honey Honey"



Kiss me, honey, honey, kiss me
Thrill me, honey, honey, thrill me
Don't care even if I blow my top
But, honey, honey, don't stop
I'd like to play a little game with you
A little game especially made for two
If you come close then I will show you how
Closer, closer, now

Kiss me, honey, honey, kiss me
Thrill me, honey, honey, thrill me
Don't care even if I blow my top
But, honey, honey, don't stop

We've never played this little game before
If you relax then you'll enjoy it more
Just settle down and let me teach you how
Closer, closer, now

Kiss me, honey, honey, kiss me
Thrill me, honey, honey, thrill me
Don't care even if I blow my top
But, honey, honey, don't stop
(But, honey, honey, don't stop)

You kiss so well my lips begin to burn
And I can tell I've got a lot to learn
So hold me close and darling show me how
Closer, closer, now

Kiss me, honey, honey, kiss me
Thrill me, honey, honey, thrill me
Don't care even if I blow my top
But, honey, honey, don't stop
(Don't care even if I blow my top)
But, honey, honey, don't stop
(Never stop)

"Let Me Be The One"

"Let Me Be The One"



Some sleepless night,
If you should find yourself alone,
Let me be the one you run to,
Let me be the one you come to
When you need someone to turn to,
Let me be the one.

To set things right
When this old world's turned upside down,
Let me be the one you run to,
Let me be the one you come to
When you need someone to turn to,
Let me be the one.

For love and understanding,
To find a quiet place;
For silent understanding,
A loving touch.
Come to me when things go wrong
And there's no love to light the way.

Let me be the one you run to,
Let me be the one you come to
When you need someone to turn to,
Let me be the one.

"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
An occasional rain
Chile con carne
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

Let there be cuckoos
A lark and a dove
But first of all, please
Let there be love

Hmm, love
Hmm, love

Let there be love
