LOOKING FOR LOVE


I spent a lifetime looking for you
Singles bars and goodtime lovers were never true
Playing a fools game, hoping to win
And telling those sweet lies and losing again..

I was looking for love in all the wrong places
Looking for love in too many faces
Searching thier eyes looking for traces
What I'm dreaming of
hoping to find a friend and a lover
I'll bless the day I discover
another heart-looking for love.

I was alone then no love in site
I did every thing I could to get me through the night
Don't know where it started or where it might end
I'd turn to a stranger just like a fiend.

REPEAT first chorus

You came a knocking at hearts door
You'r everything I been looking for

No more looking for love in all the wrong places
Looking for love in too many faces
Searching thier eyes lookin for traces
what I'm dreaming of
Now that I found a friend and a lover
I'll bless the day I discovered
You oh you looking for love





SINCE [IF] I DON'T HAVE YOU


I don't have plans and schemes,
And I don't have hopes and dreams,
I-I-I don't have anything
Since I don't have you.

I don't have fond desires,
And I don't have happy hours,
I-I-I don't have anything
Since I don't have you.

I don't have happiness, and I guess
I never will again.
When you walked out on me,
In walked old misery,
And he's been here since then.

I don't have love to share,
And I don't have one who cares.
I-I-I don't have anything
Since--I don't--have--
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
Yo-o-o-o-o-o-o-ou




GOODNIGHT MY LOVE


Goodnight my love
Pleasant dreams and
Sleep tight my love
May tomorrow be sunny and bright,
And bring you closer to me.

Before you go
There's just one thing I want to know
Is your love still warm for me,
Or has it grown cold?

If you should awake
In the still of the night
Please have no fear.
For I'll be there
You know I care
Please give your love
To me dear, only.

Goodnight my love
Pleasant dreams and Sleep tight my love
May tomorrow be sunny and bright
And bring you closer to me.
Before you go
Please remember I need you so
And your love is still warm for me
And hasn't grown cold.

My love, goodnight.





LADY


Lady, I'm your knight in shining armor and I love you
You have made me what I am and I am yours
My love, there's so many ways I want to say I love you
Let me hold you in my arms forever more

You have gone and made me such a fool
I'm so lost in your love
And oh, we belong together
Won't you believe in my song?

Lady, for so many years I thought I'd never find you
You have come into my life and made me whole
Forever let me wake to see you each and every morning
Let me hear you whisper softly in my ear

In my eyes I see no one else but you
There's no other love like our love
And yes, oh yes, I'll always want you near me
I've waited for you for so long

Lady, your love's the only love I need
And beside me is where I want you to be
'Cause, my love, there's somethin' I want you to know
You're the love of my life, you're my lady!




YOU GO TO MY HEAD


You go to my head,
And you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne.

You go to my head
Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two.

The thrill of the thought
That you might give a thought
To my plea casts a spell over me
Still I say to myself: get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it can never be?

You go to my head
With smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Tho I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance,
You go to my head.




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 g ame,
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 the day
and only now I see how the years ran away.

Yesterday when I was young
so many drinking 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 friedns 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.
