When I said I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed but you and now you've gone away
Don't you see that now you've gone
And I'm left here on my own
That I have to follow you and beg you to come home

You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me I can't help but love you
But believe me I'll never tie you down
Left alone with just a memory
Life seems dead and quite unreal
All that's left is loneliness there's nothing left to feel

You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me

Strangers in the night,
Exchanging glances
Wandering the night,
What were the chances
We'd be sharing love
Before the night was through

Something in your eyes
Was so inviting
Something in your smile
Was so exciting
Something in my heart
Told me I must have you

Strangers in the night
Two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away
A warm embracing dance away

And ever since that night
We've been together
Lovers at first sight
In love forever
It turned out so right

Strangers in the night
Two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away
A warm embracing dance away
For strangers in the night.

Youre just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I want to hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank god I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eys off of you

Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
If you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you

I love you baby
And if it's quite alI right
I need you baby
To warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down I prqy
Oh pretty baby
Now that I've found you stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you

You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I want to hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
Your just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you

I love you baby
And if its quite all right
I need you baby
To warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say
I love you baby
Don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I've found you stay
I love you baby......

Good bye, old friend,
This is the end of the man(girl) I used to be,
'cause there's been a strange and welcome change in me.

For once in my life I have someone who needs me,
Someone I've needed so long,
For once, unafraid I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong.
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of long before I knew
Someone warm like you would make my dream come true.
For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me,
Not like it's hurt me before,
For once I have something I know won't desert me,
I'm not alone anymore.
For once I can say this is mine, you can't take it,
Long as I know I have love, I can make it,
For once in my life I have someone who needs me.

For once in my life I have someone who needs me,
Someone I've needed so long,
For once, unafraid I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong.
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of long before I knew
Someone warm like you would make my dream come true.
For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me,
Not like it's hurt me before,
For once I have something I know won't desert me,
I'm not alone anymore.
For once I can say this is mine, you can't take it,
Long as I know I have love, I can make it,
For once I can feel that somebody's heard my plea,

Unforgettable
That's what you are
Unforgettable
Tho' near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more
Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why darling it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising
She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin'
Cause I've left that girl so many times before.

By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin'
Off the wall that's all.

By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly and call my name out low
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
Tho' time and time I try to tell her so
She just didn't know I would really go.

My World Is Empty Without You, babe.
My World Is Empty Without You, babe.
And as I go my way alone,
I find it hard for me to carry on.
I need your strength,
I need your tender touch
I need the love, my dear, I miss so much.

My World Is Empty Without You, babe.
My World Is Empty Without You, babe.
From this old world I try to hide my face,
But from this loneliness there's no hiding place.
Inside this cold and empty house I dwell,
in darkness with memories I know so well.

I need your love more than before,
I can hardly carry on anymore.
My World Is Empty Without You, babe,
without you babe,without you babe,
My mind and soul have felt like this,
Since love between us no more exist.
And each time that darkness falls,
if finds me alone with these four walls.

My World Is Empty Without You, babe.
My World Is Empty Without You, babe.

<i>Lyrics &copy; EMI Music Publishing</i>

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 an evening breeze
would tease a candle flame.

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

Yesterday when I was young
so many Happy songs that waited to be sung,
So many wild pleasures
that lay and stored for me,
And so much pain
my dazzled eyes refused to see.

I ran so fast the time
and youth's last run out
and I never stopped to think
what life was all about
and every conversation that I can recall
concerned itself with me
and nothing else at all.

Yesterday the moon was blue
and every crazy day
brought something new to do
and 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 elegance and pride and every flame
I lit so quickly, quickly died.
The friends I made all
seem somehow to drift away
And only I am left on stage
to end the play.

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

Rosy cheeks and turned up nose and curly hair
I'm raving 'bout my baby now
Pretty little dimples here and dimples there
Don't want to live without her
I love her goodness knows
I wrote a song about her and here's the way it goes

Baby Face, you've got the cutest little baby face
There's not another one could take your place, Baby face
My poor heart is jumpin', you sure have started somethin'
Baby face, I'm up in heaven when I'm in your fond embrace
I didn't need a shove, 'cause I just fell in love
With your pretty baby face

When you were a baby not so long ago
You must have been the cutest thing
I can picture you at every baby show
Just winnin' every ribbon with your sweet baby way
Say, honest I ain't fibbin', you'd win 'em all today

Baby Face, you've got the cutest little baby face
There's not another one could take your place, Baby face
My poor heart is jumpin', you sure have started somethin'
Baby face, I'm up in heaven when I'm in your fond embrace
I didn't need a shove, 'cause I just fell in love
With your pretty baby face
