(Simon/Baker/Kimball)
Straight from the hall of fame One of the worlds great lovers Darling you're not to blame I'm just sorry that you've been discovered When I look in you eyes I know hundreds of girls have been there I tried to be civilized And pretend I don't care Take me away, burn out the past And hold me To calm my jealousy Hold me Forget your history I need you to show me We'll be like Adam and Eve That you love me I wish you had never loved anyone but me Breathless and overcome Knowin' my desire is showing Passion can make you dumb But does so much to keep you going Turn off the songs of the past romance and Hold me To calm my jealousy Hold me Forget your history I need you to show me We'll be like Adam and Eve that you love me I wish you had never loved anyone but me With too many options You spin like a top you spin like a top - until you drop But now that you've dropped I'm gonna pick you up And love you until we just can't stop And love you until we just can't stop |

My father sits at night with no lights on
His cigarette glows in the dark. The living room is still; I walk by, no remark. I tiptoe past the master bedroom where My mother reads her magazines. I hear her call sweet dreams, But I forgot how to dream. But you say it's time we moved in together And raised a family of our own, you and me - Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be: You want to marry me, we'll marry. My friends from college they're all married now; They have their houses and their lawns. They have their silent noons, Tearful nights, angry dawns. Their children hate them for the things they're not; They hate themselves for what they are- And yet they drink, they laugh, Close the wound, hide the scar. But you say it's time we moved in together And raised a family of our own, you and me - Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be: You want to marry me, we'll marry. You say we can keep our love alive Babe - all I know is what I see - The couples cling and claw And drown in love's debris. You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds, But soon you'll cage me on your shelf - I'll never learn to be just me first By myself. Well O.K., it's time we moved in together And raised a family of our own, you and me - Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be, You want to marry me, we'll marry, We'll marry. |

Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest Nobody does it half as good as you Baby, you're the best I wasn't lookin' but somehow you found me I tried to hide from your love light But like heaven above me The spy who loved me Is keepin' all my secrets safe tonight And nobody does it better Though sometimes I wish someone could Nobody does it quite the way you do Why'd you have to be so good? The way that you hold me Whenever you hold me There's some kind of magic inside you That keeps me from runnin' But just keep it comin' How'd you learn to do the things you do? Oh, and nobody does it better Makes me feel sad for the rest Nobody does it half as good as you Baby, baby, darlin', you're the best Baby you're the best Darlin', you're the best Baby you're the best FADE Oh, oh, oh |

He started a company When he was a young man handsome, and like a reed so tall With a face like an old photograph She would fall for him Fall for him She would fall She wore her mother's cocktail dress With saddle shoes She was pretty and she was small She worked the switchboard Down the hall from him Down the hall Chorus: He said: 'Hello little woman' She said: 'Hello big man' And that was how the wooing And the winning began He said: 'Hello little woman' She said: 'Hello big man' Of course New York in those days Was carriage rides and matinees He took her to a ball At the Waldorf Astoria He would fall for her Fall for her, he would fall Chorus You could hear them laugh As they danced in their room And the shadows on the avenue Rose into a jealous moon Which swung low in the dawn like To see what was going on with those two you keep on expecting Something to go wrong And nothing does They still live in the house Where we were born Pictures of us kids Hanging up all over the walls And some say he built his empire For wealth and toil But, if you ask him why He'll say he did it all for her All for her All for her Chorus |

It happens everyday Two lovers with the best intentions to stay Together they the decide to seperate Just how it happens neither is certain But it happens everyday It happens everyday After you break up You say these words to your friends: 'How could I have loved that boy? He was so bad to me in the end? Well, you make him a liar turn him into a robber Well, it happens everyday. But I don't regret that I loved you How I loved you I will never forget And in time I'll look back and remember The boy that I knew when we first met. Still it happens everyday Two lovers turn and twist their love into hate But am I so different From those young girls you used to date? You used to adore me You used to adore me Still it happens everyday |

When the world was writing Verses like yours and mine All the boys and girls would sing As we sat at little tables and drank May wine Now April, May and June Seem sadly out of tune Life has stuck a pin in the balloon Spring is here, Why doesn't my heart go dancing Spring is here, why isn't the waltz entrancing No desire, no ambition leads me Maybe it's because nobody needs me Spring is here, why doesn't the breeze delight me Stars appear, why doesn't the night invite me Maybe it's because nobody loves me Spring is here Spring is here Spring is here I hear |

In a pine forest cooler
Than the rest of the island Lives a young fisherman With eyes like the sea He built his own boat And made his own cabin But he's broken the hearts Of the likes of me Now you must understand He made me a promise There were secrets we shared We planted a tree We lived in his cabin I fished along side of him I fell under the spell Of his sorcery When he cast me adrift At the end of the summer It was not for another But his own privacy I fell apart like a rose But the scent of my longing Remains and it weeps Like an old willow tree At night when its still With the yellow moon rising When his candle is snuffed And he's deep in a dream I move like a cat And crawl into his window And lie down beside him In a golden moon beam The smell of his skin Is just like the summer When our love was as fresh As the grass in the fields And ever so softly I kiss his eyelids Before slipping away My secret concealed Though I'm in it alone I'm still in it in love And love can be lonely Like a sweet melody But just maybe he feels me Like a whisper inside him Like an angel beside him Deep in him company |

(Carly Simon)
It's all of our birthdays this summer One number older, another year younger I'll go to your party, you'll come to mine We've given up cigarettes, we've given up wine We've given up caffeine and sworn off desserts I don't try to seduce you, we don't even flirt We're too good to be happy, too straight to be sad So just blow out the candles, Happy Birthday Stay out of the ocean, stay out of the sun Stay in perfect shape and be number one We've got brilliant excuses for having no fun So blow out the candles, Happy Birthday Make love in the microwave Think of all the time you'll save And don't forget to make it look As though you're working very very hard But I'll be your lover if you will be mine We'll go back to the garden and have a good time And if I'm offered an apple, I'll politely decline And just blow out the candles Happy Birthday |

Have you seen me lately?
What was it you saw Are you gonna catch me With my hand in the jar, naked singing in the choir? have you seen me lately? Did I look O.K. Are you gonna shame me and take my toys away? Don't wake me unless you love me It takes too long to fall back to sleep Don't wake me unless you're a friend of mine I'd rather just fall back on my dreams Have you seen me lately? Did I miss a beat Are you gonna make me get back on my feet? Don't wake me unless you love me It takes too long to fall back to sleep Don't wake me unless you're a friend of mine I'd rather just fall back on my dreams Have you seen me lately? Was I crazy? Don't wake me...Don't wake me...Don't wake me... |

you say you're not worthy of me But how do you know when you can't see Your eyes where midnight catches fire I can't describe this dizzy desire Can you be so insecure That you don't know what this grin is for Do you think I always act this way Silly and silent, and eager to stay When you're holding me tonight Holding me tonight You think it's all a mistake That I'm lost in a dream from which I'll wake up There you'll be just another guy You could never be but I dare you to try When you're holding me Holding me tonight I walk into your room You blush when I see it in a mess So I undress and close my eyes A room with a view Is in the dark with you But that should come as no suprise it's not a matter of mind The choice of the heart is a different kind It's always been a mystery When you walk into the room It happens to me And when you're holding me Holding me tonight |

When Tom came home his hair was combed He bought snakeskin boots in Rome That's not like him His socks are clean, his shirt is pressed It isn't just the way he's dressed He smiles out of context and acts so polite He's staying at his cousin's overnight The protein shakes, that's not like him The carrot cakes, that's not like him The oatbran flakes, that's not like him And the sweet name he called me in his sleep last night Oh, that's not like him He whispers on the telephone He goes out smelling of cologne That's not like him It's just a superficial thing But he's misplaced his wedding ring He's become quite a connoisseur of wine He's quoting Yeats and Gertrude Stein The Soho pub, that's not like him The racquet club, that's not like him Those books on love, that's not like him And the sweet name he called me in his sleep last night Oh, that's not like him I caught a glimpse of Tom today At a checkout counter, about to pay He had a girl on his arm I'm glad he's helping out the poor It's not like the Tom I knew before Something so touching it made me cry But my heart was racing, I don't know why Those new blue suede shoes, that's not like him The Ray Ban shades, that's not like him Those downtown ways, that's not like him And the sweet name he called me in his sleep last night Oh, that's not like him The red suspenders, that's not like him The berries in the blender, that's not like him Those twelve step groups, that's not like him And Guadeloupe, that's not like him Those books on Zen, that's not like him The Karate classes, that's not like him The fishing gear, that's not like him Not like him, That's not like him |

I've been doing a lot of thinking About growing older and moving on Nobody wants to be told that they're getting on Andf maybe going away For a long, long stay But just how long and who knows And how and where my spirit will go Will it soar like Jazz on a saxophone Or evaporate on a breeze Won't you tell me please That life is eternal And love is immortal And death is only a horizon Life is eternal As we move into the light And a horizon is nothing Save the limit of our sight Save the limit of our sight Here on earth I'm a lost soul Ever trying to find my way back home Maybe that's why each new star is born Expanding heaven's room Eternity in bloom And will I see you up in that heaven In all it's light will I know you're there Will we say the things that we never dared If wishing makes it so Won't you let me know That life is eternal And love is immortal And death is only a horizon Life is eternal As we move into the light And a horizon is nothing Save the limit of our sight Save the limit of our sight |

An occasional joint, a glass or two of beer Still I would never have guessed that you'd wind up here In a half-way house, on a dead-end street In a run-down part of a one-horse town But just do what they say, don't worry 'bout your girl 'Cause I won't run away, and I won't run around And I won't let you down, and without a doubt I'll be waiting, waiting Waiting at the gate when they let you out You set the world on fire, dancing after dark Now you're playing solitaire in a fenced-in park I'm not the one to judge you, so baby don't be scared No one gets a free ride, none of us is spared I'll be back on the ninth, I've circled the date Three o'clock sharp, and I won't be late You've been through hell I know what that's all about And I'll be waiting, waiting Waiting at the gate when they let you out The doctors have so little faith They say you were a classic case They said the chance is eight in ten They'd see you back in here again But I'm counting on you to prove the doctors wrong I'm imagining you, healthy and strong Your papers all stamped, your eyes so bright and blue Looking like a baby picture of you Walking down the path, your suitcase in your hand The howling at your back, a brand new man Be a perfect little camper, be a brave little scout And I'll be waiting waiting Waiting at the gate when they let you out... |

There are a few more freckles on your shoulders The hammock swings lower and touches the grass The apples are ripe and the corn is past Everyone says summer goes by so fast And we just got here I can hardly believe it but it's ended The beach is a haze and old love's a ghost Hugo is twisting his way up the coast If you blew out to sea I'd love you most And we just got here Nostalgia you fake, you bitter sweet ache The time that you take could make another heart whole Could the truth be I won't really see How much I love you 'Til it's over The two of us left here alone in the house You bleed the pipes while I bring in the plants Put our faces in place for September? dance If you?e willing, I? willing to take one more chance And we just got here |

What do the neighbors say When they hear us scream at night Do they talk about a love All in tatters What do the neighbors know About the heart and soul The fire down below That really matters They can never guess In the silences That all I want is you And the sexy hurricane we got here All I want is you I don't want a man who says Good morning, dear, no, no All I want is you All that I want is you All I want is you Nobody else but you Let 'em listen at the door Let 'em listen through the floor Let 'em go ahead and draw The wrong conclusion So chase me 'round the room Make me crazy like the moon They can never guess In the silences That all I want is you And the sexy hurricane that we share (We share, yeah) All I want is you I don't want a man who Tiptoes up the stairs No, I don't All I want is you All that I want is you All I want is you Nobody else, no one but you They can never guess In the silences That all I want is you (All I want is you) And the sexy hurricane that we share All I want is you I don't want a man who Tiptoes up the stairs He's gonna fall All I want is you And your freight train Whistling over my track, oh, oh All I want is you And your Mack truck loving Jumping me, Jack Oh, Jack All I want is you.... |

You must remember this A kiss is still a kiss A sigh is just a sigh The fundamental things apply As time goes by And when two lovers woo They still say I love you On that you can rely The world will always welcome lovers As time goes by Moonlight and lovesongs never out of date Hearts full of passion, jealousy and hate Woman needs man And man must have his mate That no one can deny It's still the same old story The fight for love and glory A case of do or die The world will always welcome lovers As time goes by |

Do the walls come down When you think of me Do your eyes grow dim Do the walls come down When you think of me Do you let me in Nothing like a rainy night To set your heart rememberin' Nothing like a vivid dream To take you back again When you think of me Do your eyes grow dim Do the walls come down When you think of me Do you let me in Something in my pocket That was written years ago In faded ink says, 'You are my fire' Do you think so... Is it easier for you to say You never loved me anyway Or do you hide me in your attic trunk Like a stowaway? |

I have no need of half of anything
No half time, no half a man's attention Give me all the earth and sky And at the same time Add a new dimension Half the truth is of no use Give it all, give it all to me I can stand it, I am strong that way Give me all night Give me the full moon And if I can't take the whole of you Give it to me anyway Give me all night 'Till the last star fades And if you can' t take my heart and soul Take it from me anyway Don't give me fountains, I need waterfalls And, when I cry, my tears will fill an ocean The pain of love, I'll accept it all As long as you'll join me in that emotion Half of lovin' is no fun Give it all, give it all to me I can stand it, I am strong that way (Repeat Chorus) Don't leave me guessing alone Don't walk me half the way home You can do that tomorrow Just give me, give me all night (Repeat Chorus) |

You had better hold on Hold on to what you've got You had better hold on Hold on to what you've got 'Cause if you think Nobody else wants it Just throw it away And you will see Somebody else will have it Before you can count 1-2-3 You take love for granted And it's gone like a bandit And this loneliness cuts like a knife When you see what you've lost It's already cost The one you could love your whole life |

Take a look around now Change the direction Adjust the tuning Try a new translation Don't look at your man in the same old way Take a new picture Just because you don't see shooting stars Doesn't mean it isn't perfect can't you see... It's the stuff that dreams are made of It's the slow and steady fire It's the stuff that dreams are made of It's your heart and soul's desire It's the stuff that dreams are made of So what's this about your best friend? She's got a brand new shiny boy And they're moving out to Malibu To play with all his pretty toys And you feel closed in by the same four walls The same old conversation With the same old guy you've know for years But use your imagination And you will see.... It's the stuff that dreams are made of It's the slow and steady fire It's the stuff that dreams are made of It's your heart and soul's desire It's the stuff that dreams are made of What if the Prince on the horse in your fairytale Is right here in disguise And what if the stars you've been reaching so high for Are shining in his eyes Don't look at yourself in the same old way Take another picture Shoot the stars off in your own backyard Don't look any further And you will see It's the stuff that dreams are made of.... |

It happened last night we were feeling adventurous
We put on our heels and went out for a walk More for a drink and to have a few eyes on us Jenny and I slipped to town for some talk Me and Jenny, twinklin' like crystal and pennies Two hot girls on a hot summer night Looking for love “Look Jenny” I said “It's Dwight he just came in” I got excited but Jenny was quick The kettle was on and it started up steamin' And I knew from her flirtin' she was up to her tricks Me and Jenny, twinklin' like crystal and pennies Two hot girls on a hot summer night Looking for love A song on the jukebox made me feel lonely The kettle boiled down and evaporated me But who was to notice ‘cause Jenny was glowin' And Dwight was all over her like a honey bee Me and Jenny, twinklin' like crystal and pennies Two hot girls on a hot summer night Looking for love Maybe I shouldn't have worn such a long dress Maybe he thinks I'm too young or too old If only I hadn't been born with these sad eyes Perhaps I'm too shy or too bold Me and Jenny, twinklin' like crystal and pennies Two hot girls on a hot summer night Looking for love “Thanks for introducing us” Said Dwight polite And I waved goodnight I wondered why it wasn't me I guess it's just that the time's not right Two hot girls on a hot summer night |

'I'm in love with him? she said With all the innocence of tender years But somewhere down the road ahead I could see the same eyes Filled with bitter tears I had the inclination To tell her not to drop her guard To tell her that life can be hard But I didn't have the heart (Chorus) You have to hurt - to understand You have to get by the best you can Until you hurt - until you cry You won't know about love And the reason you're alive You have to hurt She said, 'I know he'll never leave me I never felt it deep inside like this before? It was good to see her, believe me But I couldn't stand to hear this anymore All that expectation Too naive to really see Maybe she knew better than me It was better just to let her be (Chorus) Little sister, you're so sweet Thinking love runs smooth You don't know the half of it We laugh until we lose There's no way around it (Chorus) |

The torch I carry is handsome
It's worth its heartache in ransom Now when that twilight steals I know how the lady in the harbor feels When I want rain, I get sunny weather I'm just as blue, blue as the sky Since love has gone, I can't get myself together Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry My friend ask me out, but I tell them I'm busy I've got to get a new alibi I hang around at home, and ask myself: "Where is she?" Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry Dry little tear drops, my little tear drops Moving on a stream of dreams My little memories, those precious memories Remind me of our crazy schemes Then somebody says, just forget about her But I gave that treatment a try Strangely enough, I got along without her Then one day she passed me right by - oh well I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry |

He keeps promising to go back to the gym He thinks about his wife So passionate last night Was she really feeling it for him? Or was it junior's teacher? Or the carpenter who put up the shelves Or the mechanic who fixed the wagon Or the gardener who dug the well Or the Italian riding instructor Or the man on the Carousel Or the out of work actor in Westport Or the surgeon who cured the ills Or the Yalie from New Haven Or the farmer in the Dell (Repeat Chorus) How about The lifeguard at the yacht club The hairdresser from New London The tennis pro from Fairfield The Fuller Brush man from Bristol The fisherman from Mystic The novelist from New Canan The usher at the movie theater The architect from Guilford The man on the carousel |

Dear mother the struggle is over now
And your house is up for sale We divided your railway watches Between the four of us I fought over the pearls With the other girls But it was all a metaphor For what was wrong with us As the room is emptying out Your face so young comes into view And on the back porch is a well-worn step And a pool of light you can walk into I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river... Can you clear up the mystery of the Sphinx? Do you know any more about God? Are you dancing with Benjamin Franklin On the face of the moon? Have you reconciled with Dad? Does the rain still make you sad? Last night I swear I could feel you Moving through my room And I thought you touched my feet I so wanted it to be true In my theater there is a stage And a footlight you can step into... I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river... In the river I know I will find the key And your voice will rise like the spray In the moment of knowing The tide will wash away my doubt 'Cause you're already home Making it nice for when I come home Like the way I find my bed turned down Coming in from a late night out. Please keep reminding me Of what in my soul I know is true Come in my boat, there's a seat beside me And two or three stars we can gaze into... I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you forever Like a river... I'll never leave, always just a dream away A star that's always watching Never turn away We'll never leave, always just a thought away A candle always burning Never turn away The moon will hide, the tree will bend I'm right beside you I'll never turn away |

Can you be private when the juice is sweet And the secret is crimson Can you be quiet when my hands are heat And the riptide rises? Can you be blind and a beggar on your knees? And live on our desire alone Can you ride the tide in this insanity And still keep as still as the shadows? When the cry is so wide on the inside When the truth jumps quick to the heart When the wind or the stars are violent Can you be silent? Here'd a little something that the wizard said: 'You can kiss, but never tell All the wisdom you need And you'il be needing some Can be heard in the mouth of a seashell' Chorus Just the wide grey sky And the hunchback moon Will keep our memories Not a living soul will remember us This is just for you and me 'Cause if you;re out with the boys one night If you;re out with the boys and there's braggin? If you break, speak and call me your lover, I'l lie, I swear, I'll lie, and it will all be over |

The reason I wouldn't kiss you last night I wouldn't kiss you 'cause I was afriad That I'd like you too much And if I liked you too much I'd be afraid that I'd give you a present And if I gave you a gift, You might give me a gift And then I'd be afraid... That I wouldn't like it The reason, there's always a reason Behind the reason When you look for a reason A reason, I can give you a reason And maybe you'll think It's a really good reason But I come up with the reasons You asked me if I'd scratch your back I wouldn't scratch it 'Cause I was afraid that I'd twist your arm And if I twisted your arm I'd be afraid that it would lead to passion And if we got too drunk We might fall out of the bunk And then I;d be afriad We would have a concussion CHORUS Don't ever live with your real love Stop before it starts Real love will last much longer Stay stronger Living in your heart Yeah, that's where it belongs, in your heart The reason, there's always a reason Behind the reason When you look for the reason The reason, I can give you a reason And maybe you'll think It's a really good reason But I come up with the reason I'll never have another chance At the Parson's dance (He's gonna spank me) Gotta be an apple tree growing in the field Gotta be at Frankie's house right now Gotta be at Danny's house deja Gotta meet a holy man He'll be in the valley when Amelia tries to land (With his shirt off) I can never be in love, I can only be in heat And I never felt so...never felt so...

If you want to be brave And reach for the top of the sky And the farthest point on the horizon Do you know who you'll meet there Great soldiers and seafarers, Artists and dreamers Who need to be close, close to the light They need to be in danger of burning by fire And I, I want to get there I, I want to be one One who is touched by the sun, One who is touched by the sun Often I want to walk The safe side of the street And lull myself to sleep And dull my pain But deep down inside I know I've got to learn from the greats, Earn my right to be living, Let my wings of desire Soar over the night I need to let them say "She must have been mad" And I, I want to get there I, I want to be one One who is touched by the sun, One who is touched by the sun I've got to learn from the greats, Earn my right to be living, With every breath that I take, Every heartbeat And I, I want to get there I, I want to be one, One who is touched by the sun, One who is touched by the sun. |

We can never know about the days to come
but we think about them anyway. And I wonder if I'm really with you now or just chasing after some finer day Anticipation, anticipation is making me late is keeping me waiting And I tell you how easy it feels to be with you and how right your arms feel around me. But I rehearsed those words just late last night when I was thinking about how right tonight might be. Anticipation, Anticipation is making me late is keeping me waiting And tomorrow we might not be together I'm no prophet, i don't know nature's ways. So I'll try and see into your eyes right now and stay right here, 'cause these are the good old days. |
