"No Regrets"

"No Regrets"



No, no regrets
No, we will have no regrets
As you leave, I can say
Love was king, but for only a day

No, no regrets
No, let there be no regrets
Why explain
Why delay
Don't go away
Simply call it a day

Pleading moments we knew
I will set them apart
Ev'ry word, ev'ry sign
Will be burned in my heart
But no tears will be shed
There'll be no one to blame
Let it always be said
We attempted what came

No, no regrets
No, we will have no regrets
As you leave, I can say
Love was king, but for only a day

Life still goes on
Yes, even though love has gone
One last kiss
Shrug and sign
No Regrets even though it's goodbye

"Nobody Does It Like Me"

"Nobody Does It Like Me"



If there's a wrong way say it
And a right way to play it
Nobody does it like me

If there's a wrong way to do it
A right way to screw it up, ha
Nobody does it like me

I've got a big loud mouth
I'm always talking much to free
If you go for tact and manners
Better stay away from me

If there's a wrong way to keep it cool
A right way to be a fool
Nobody does it like me

I hear a love song or ballad
I toss like a salad
Nobody tosses like me

And when my evenings get tougher
I just take two buffein'
And drink a hot cup of tea

Last night, I met an old acquaintance
At a fancy corner pub,
He said 'come on let's have some supper'
Then he used my credit-club

If there's a wrong way take a guy
The worst way to make a guy
Nobody does it like me

If there's a wrong bell, I ring it
A wrong note I sing it
Nobody does it like me

If there's a problem, I duck it
I don't solve it I just muck it up
Nobody does it like me

And so try to be a lady
I'm no lady I'm a fraud
And when I talk like I'm a lady
What I sound like is a broad

If there's a wrong way to get a guy
the right way to lose a guy
Nobody does it like me

Nobody does it, no
Nobody does it
Nobody does it like me

Nobody does it like me

"On A Clear Day You Can See Forever"

"On A Clear Day You Can See Forever"



On a clear day, rise and look around you
And you'll see who you are
On a clear day how it will astound you
That the glow of your being outshines every star

You'll feel part of ev'ry mountain, sea, and shore
You can hear from far and near a world you've never heard before

And on a clear day, on that clear day
You can see forever and ever more

You can hear from far and near a world you've never heard before

And on that clear day, on that clear day
You can see forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and evermore!

"One Day I'll Fly Away"

"One Day I'll Fly Away"



I may get along, when love is gone
Still you made your mark, here in my heart
One day I'll fly away
Leave your love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me?
When will love be through with me?

I followed the night
Can't stand the light
When will I begin
My life again

One day I'll fly away
Leave your love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me?
When will love be through with me?

Why live life from dream to dream
And dread the day that dreaming ends

One day I'll fly away
Leave your love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me?
When will love be through with me?

Why live life from dream to dream
And dread the day that dreaming ends

One day I'll fly away
(Fly away)

"One Less Bell To Answer"
(originally by The 5th Dimension)



One less bell to answer
One less egg to fry
One less man to pick up after
I should be happy
But all I do is cry

(Cry, cry, no more laughter)
Oh, I should be happy
(Oh, why did he go)
I only know that since he left
My life's so empty

Though I try to forget
It just can't be done
Each time the doorbell rings
I still run
I don't know how in the world
To stop thinking of him
'Cause I still love him so
I end each day the way I start out
Crying my heart out

Oh, one less man to pick up after
No more laughter
No more love
Since he went, oh he went away (he went away)

(One less bell to answer)
Why did he leave me
(Oh why, why, why did he leave)
(One less bell to answer)
Now I've got one less egg to fry
One less egg to fry
(Oh why, why, why did he leave)
And all I do is cry
(One less bell to answer)
Because my man told me goodbye
(Oh why, why, why did he leave)
(One less bell to answer)
Somebody tell me please
Where did he go, why did he go
(Ohy, why, why did he leave)
Tell me, how could he leave me

"Only When I Laugh"

"Only When I Laugh"



So, it's finally over
Had to happen, but no big deal.
After all of that, off again and on
What else is new?

Well, I say, will you catch me crying? Not this kid
Will I soon forget you? I just did
Does it really hurt me? Only when I laugh

Is my heart finally numb yet?
Yeah, I don't think I feel one thing
After too long of running cold and hot
And cold, you end up blue

So, I'll just change things on my mailbox, suits me fine
And since you've gone on your way, I'll go mine
Does it really hurt me? Only when I laugh

Every time I fell in love
I never fell completely
The joke is, I was saving something
For the person that I thought was you

Well, I guess I was dreaming
Glad the fantasy's dead and gone
And if my mind keeps running back and forth
And back and forth don't take that as a clue

It was a minor operation, I pulled through
Opened up my life and took out you
My only scar's a heart that's neatly torn in half
Does it really hurt me? Only when I laugh

"Over The Rainbow"

"Over The Rainbow"



When all the world is a hopeless jumble,
And the raindrops tumble all around,
Heaven opens a magic lane.
When all the clouds darken up the skyway
there's a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your window pane

Somewhere over the rainbow,
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of once,
In a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow,
Skies are blue.
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me;
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
way above the chimney tops,
that's where you'll find me.

Somewhere...
Over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then oh why can't I?
If all those little bluebirds fly.
Beyond the rainbow..
Why .. oh .. why .. can't I?

"Perfect Strangers"

"Perfect Strangers"


An afternoon of sad affairs
Shared in the hope of mending broken dreams
The constant struggle after simple pleasures
Finds us perfect strangers you and I

You know I hate to see you cry
And through the tears that fall like winter rain
You say you're tired of merely just surviving
We've so much in common that we're

[Chorus:]
Perfect strangers singing perfectly in tune
From seperate corners of the room
Held together by our hunger to get by
Perfect strangers you and I

Let's make a toast to no regrets
Wet down the painful sting of sweet love lost
Let evening find us whispering in our whiskey
Come and sit beside me for a while

You know I love to see you smile
And if perhaps you're only passing through
At least we tried to reach an understanding
And for just one moment we were

Perfect strangers singing perfectly in tune
From seperate corners of the room
Held together by our hunger to get by
Perfect strangers you and I

Perfect strangers singing perfectly in tune
From seperate corners of the room
Held together by our hunger to get by
Perfect strangers you and I

"Pieces Of Dreams"

"Pieces Of Dreams"



Little boy lost in search of little boy found
You go a wondering, wandering
Stumbling, tumbling, round! round!
When will you find
What's on the tip of your mind?
Why are you blind
To all you ever were
Never were, really are, nearly are?
Little boy false in search of little boy true
Will you ever be done traveling
Always unraveling you, you?
Running away could lead you further astray
And as for fishing in streams for pieces of dreams
Those pieces will never fit
What is the sense of it?
Little boy blue, don't let your little sheep roam
It's time ,come blow your horn, meet the morn
Look and see, can you be far from home?

"Run On And On And On"

"Run On And On And On"



Run on and on and on
With all my tears life must go on and on
My head held high
I think about tomorrow

Buy my head turns round
For a last glance at familiar ground
Trying not to make a sound
As I whisper farewell

Run on and on and on
The love I left behind, it's done it's done
There must be
Somewhere a happy ending

Now that the past is done
Without regrets I'll carry on
All the rights that turned out wrong
Have all been left to die

So as my head turns round
For a last glance at familiar ground
Filled with dying memories
I'll run on and on

Run on and on and on
The love I left behind, it's done it's done
There must be
Somewhere a happy ending

Now that the past is done
Without regrets I'll carry on
Filled with dying memories

I'll Run On and On
