"The Lady's In Love With You"

"The Lady's In Love With You"



If there’s a gleam in her eye
Each time she straightens your tie
That means the lady’s in love with you
And if she can’t dress for a date
Without that waiting you hate
That means the lady’s in love with you
And when your friends ask you over to join the table
But she will find that far away booth for two
Well Jack, here’s just how it stands
You’ve got romance on your hands
Because the lady’s in love with you

"The Long And Winding Road"

"The Long And Winding Road"



The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to you door

The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here?
Let me know the way

Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried
Any way you'll never know
The many times I've tried

But still they lead me back
To the long, winding road
You left me standing here
A long, long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door

Once there was a way, to get back homeward
Once there was a way, to get back home

A way to lead me back
To the long, winding road
You left me standing here
A long, long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door

Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door

"The Moment Of Truth"

"The Moment Of Truth"



If you hear music when she's near you
And Christmas comes ev'ry day of the year
Then you must know why it's the first clue
That the moment of truth is near

If ev'ry time she glances your way
A million bells start to ring loud and clear
And, after one kiss, you yell "Mayday!"
Then the moment of truth is near

There will come a day when she looks at you
Thrills you through and through and calls your name
That will be the day when you say "I do"
'cause you've discovered that you've grown tired of playin' the game

And then you both know you're through schemin'
"Oh Promise Me" starts to sing in your ear
You're wide-awake, boy, you're not dreamin'
'cause when you say "I do", the moment of truth
At last is here!

There will come a day when she looks at you
Thrills you through and through and calls your name
That will be the day when you say "I do"
'cause you've discovered that you've grown tired of playin' the game

And then you both know you're through schemin'
"Oh Promise Me" starts to sing in your ear
You're wide-awake, boy, you're not dreamin'
'cause when you say "I do", the moment of truth
At last is here!

"The Playground"

"The Playground"



When I hear children at play
Memories come from far away
Taking me, holding my hand
To the playground wonderland

See-saw, lifting you high
Swings that let you touch the sky
Then, whenever you're through
Painted ponies wait for you

It's a world, summertime free
Where else would you rather be?
With a friend there at your side
Up you climb and down you slide

When I hear children at play
(I love to play in the playground)
(Every time I go, I know that I'll find a friend)
Memories come from far away

Taking me, holding my hand
(I want to stay in the playground)
(When I'm there, I wish that it would never end)
To the playground wonderland

Taking turns, learning to share
Jungle Jim or teddy bear
Hide and seek, counting to ten
Oh, to play there once again

See-saw, lifting you high
Swings that let you touch the sky
Then, whenever you're through
Painted ponies wait for you

When I hear children at play
(I love to play in the playground)
(Every time I go, I know that I'll find a friend)
Memories come from far away

Taking me, holding my hand
(I want to stay in the playground)
(When I'm there, I wish that it would never end)
To the playground wonderland
To the playground wonderland

"The Right To Love"

"The Right To Love"



My love and I ask little of the world
The right to sigh together in the rain
And walk with hands up in the sun
And share our joys and our pains

And yet they say that we were wrong
That we hadn't the right to our love
That this love was shameful to see
And yet we treasured our love

And so we go our solitary way
Indifferent to the cold unfriendly stares
Indifferent to the whispered talk

We don't care at all
We have all we need
As long as we can be together

We find our consolation in each other's eyes
The sweet look of wonder
We know that we have earned the precious right to love

"The Riviera"

"The Riviera"


The Riviera
On every street a gay casino
Where continentals sip their vino
And leave their fortunes to chance

The Riviera
Nevada’s number one casino
Where ladies make the play for dino
In that pursuit of romance

Every gay mademoiselle
Is disarming some maharajah
With the daring of her décolletage

Every [?] will be willing to bet you
She’s gonna be what you will get

Ah the Riviera
Where every golden coat of suntan
Has cost the gold of more than one man
Who wasn't warned in advance

He can live like a king
Have a fabulous fling
Then as a token for the dough that he's sunk
He gets a little label slapped on his trunk
The Riviera

The Riviera

The Riviera

"The Second Time Around"

"The Second Time Around"



Love is lovelier the second time around
Just as wonderful with both feet on the ground
It's that second time you hear your love song sung
Makes you think perhaps that love like youth is wasted on the young

Love's more comfortable the second time you fall
Like a friendly home the second time you call
Who can say what led us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once and yet
I'm oh so glad we met the second time around

"The Shadow Of Your Smile"
(feat. Juanes)

"The Shadow Of Your Smile"
(feat. Juanes)



One day we walked along the sand
One day in early spring
You held a piper in your hand
To mend its broken wing
Now I'll remember many a day
And many a lonely mile
The echo of a piper's song
The shadow of a smile

The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn
Look into my eyes
My love and see
All the lovely things
You are to me

Our wistful little star
Was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile

"The Shining Sea"

"The Shining Sea"



We loved the shining sea
She gathered sea shells there fore me
Her hands, I love her hands

We’d sit there on the sand
She’d kiss the hollow of my hand
A kiss, I miss a kiss

I hear the grey gulls cry
I see them dip their wings
I feel the pounding surf
And other things

I can’t believe she’s gone
I think I’ll go where she might be
I’ll go, I need her so

I need our shining sea
