A Silly Old Romantic...

For my sweet Baby...luv ya

I Knew I Loved You

Savage Garden


Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
And there it goes
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason
Only this sense of completion
And in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home

I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

My World Is Empty Without You
The Supremes

(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)

My world is empty without you, baby
My world is empty without you, baby

And as I go my way alone
I find it hard for me to carry on
I need your strenght
I need your tender touch
I need the love, my dear
I miss so much

My world is empty without you, baby
My world is empty without you, baby

From this old world
I try to hide my face
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 love know
More then before
I can hardly
Carry on anymore

My world is emty without you, babe
Without you, babe
(My world is emty) without you, babe

My mind and soul
Have felt like this
Since love between us
No more exist
And each time that darkness falls
It finds me alone
With these four walls

My world is emty without you, babe
Without you, babe
(My world is emty) without you, babe

Without you, babe
Without you, babe

Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You
Franki Valli

You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like heaven to touch.
I wanna 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 eyes off 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.
But 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 you.

I love you baby, and if it's quite all 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 pray.
Oh pretty baby, now that I found you. Stay.

And let me love you, baby. Let me love you ...

I love you baby, and if it's quite allright,
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 pray.
Oh pretty baby, now that I found you. Stay.

Oh pretty baby. Trust in me when I say: Oh pretty baby ...

I've Been Lonely Too Long
The Young Rascals

(written by Felix Cavaliere)

I've been lonely too long, I've been lonely too long
In the past it's come and gone, I feel like I can't go on without
love.
I've been lonely too long. (He's been lonely too long.)
I've been lonely too long. (He's been lonely.)

As I look back,
I can see me lost and searching.
Now I find that I can choose, I'm free. Oh, Yeah!
So funny I just have to laugh,
All my troubles been torn in half.
I been lonely too long. (He's been lonely too long.)
Lonely too long. (He's been lonely.)

In the past it's come and gone,
I feel like I can't go on without love.
(Lonely), lonely too long
I've been lonely too long. (He's been lonely)

Just see me now
Makes it worth the time I've waited.
She was all I need to make me see, Oh, Yeah!
I keep hopin' with all my mind,
Everything gonna turn out right.
I've been lonely too long. (He's been lonely too long).
I've been lonely too long. (He's been lonely.)

Now look at me
Gliding through this world of beauty
Everything I do brings ecstasy, Oh, Yeah!
No wonder I could die
I feel like I'm 'bout ten miles high!
I've been lonely too long. (He's been lonely too long.)
Lonely too long. (He's been lonely.)

Found myself somebody. (He's been lonely)
Don't have to be alone no more. (He's been lonely, He's been lonely.)
Don't have to alone no more, no more. (He's been lonely, He's been
lonely.)

Never My Love
The Association

You ask me if there'll come a time
When I grow tired of you
Never my love
Never my love

You wonder if this heart of mine
Will lose its desire for you
Never my love
Never my love

What makes you think love will end
When you know that my whole life depends
On you (on you)

Never my love
Never my love

You say you fear I'll change my mind
And I won't require you
Never my love
Never my love

How can you think love will end
When I've asked you to spend your whole life
With me (with me, with me)


***Love this song!!! Such harmony!!

Dedicated To The One I Love
The Mamas and The Papas

While I'm far away from you my baby
I know it's hard for you my baby
Because it's hard for me my baby
And the darkest hour is just before dawn

Each night before you go to bed my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love
(love can never be exactly like we want it to be)

I could be satisfied knowing you love me
(and there's one thing I want you to do
especially for me)
And it's something that everybody needs

While I'm far away from you my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby
Because it's hard for me my baby
And the darkest hour is just before dawn

If there's one thing I want you to do especially for me
Then it's something that everybody needs

 

[TantaLiza]

Well, it lives somewhere, that's true. The listening is superb, thanks.

Thank you, darlin'.... it has to live... or I will die!

Make Me Yours
Bettye Swann

I never had a love to call my own
I was about to give up
And then you came along
Just to have your tender kiss
Thrills me for days and days
I don't care what nobody says
I want you for always
Now that I found you
I want to stay around
So make me yours, make me yours

You already captured my heart and my soul
Now I want you to take full control
I need the love that only you can give
If I can't have it
I don't want to live
I never had a love so sweet
I never thought I'd be lucky enough to meet
A guy with all your charms to hold me with loving arms
Make me feel secure and warm
Caused my heart to run
Now that I found you
I want to stay around
So, make me yours, make me yours
Now that I found you I want to stay around
So, make me yours, make me yours

Take me baby if you want me to be
So, whatever you need you can always fine in me
Yeah love me and keep me by your side
Wherever you go I'll always be satisfied
All of my friends said girl don't
But I know what I need and I know what I want
I want to be yours
You're the only one
And I will give to you happiness in return
Cause what you need, baby I've got it
What you got, I'm just crazy about it
If you're looking for a love that you'll never get tired of
Make me yours, make me yours
Baby, make me yours
Not just for a little while
But forever my darling, make me yours

You're All I Need To Get By
Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell

(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)

You're all I need to get by.
Like the sweet morning dew, I took one look at you,
And it was plain to see, you were my destiny.
With my arms open wide, I threw away my pride
I'll sacrifice for you Dedicate my life for you
I will go where you lead
Always there in time of need
And when I lose my will
You'll be there to push me up the hill
There's no, no looking back for us
We got love sure 'nough, that's enough
You're all, You're All I need to get by.
I all, you're all I want to strive for and do a little more
All, all the joys under the sun wrapped up into one
You're all, You're all I need to get by.


You're all I need to get by.
Like an eagle protects his nest, for you I'll do my best,
Stand by you like a tree, dare anybody to try and move me
Darling in you I found Strength where I was torn down
Don't know what's in store but together we can open any door
Just to do what's good for you and inspire you a little higher
I know you can make a man out of a soul that didn't have a goa
Cause we, we got the right foundation and with love and determination

You're all, You're All I need to get by.
I all, you're all I want to strive for and do a little more
All, all the joys under the sun wrapped up into one
You're all, You're all I need to get by.

Love (Can Make You Happy)
Mercy

(written by Jack Sigler Jr.)

Wake up in the morning with the sunshine in your eyes
And the smell of flowers blooming fills the air.
Your mind is filled with the thoughts of a certain someone - that you
love;
Your life is filled with joy when she is there.

Love can make you happy if you fine someone who cares
To give a life time to you and who has a love to share.

If you think you've found someone you'll love forevermore,
Then it's worth the price you'll have to pay (pay).
To have, to hold's important when forever is the phrase
That means the love you've found is going to stay.

Love can make you happy if you find someone who cares
To give a life time to you and who has a love to share.

La-love, la-love

Love can make you happy.
Love can make you happy.
Love can make you happy.
Love...

Make It With You
Bread

Hey have you ever tried,
Really reaching out for the other side?
I may be climbing on rainbows
But, baby here goes.

Dreams they're for those who sleep,
Life is for us to keep,
And if you're wond'ring
What this song is leading to

I want to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.

No, you don't know me well,
In ev'ry little thing only time will tell,
If you believe the things that I do.
And we'll see it through.

Life can be short or long,
Love can be right or wrong,
And if I choose the one
I'd like to help me through,

I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.

Baby you know that
Dreams they're for those who sleep,
Life is for us to keep
And if I choose the one
I'd like to help me through,

I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.

Tighter and Tighter
Alive and Kicking

You know I got to show you
Nobody else before you
Ever gave me such a beautiful feelin'
Oh woman you touched a-my soul now
Honey don't a-let go now
Hold on baby just a little bit tighter
Hold on a-just a little bit tighter now baby

I love you so much and I can't let go no, no, no
Hold on a-just a little bit tighter now baby

Love is so surprising
Opened up my eyes and you
Reached out and took my hand
Baby you touched a-my soul now
Woman don't let go now
Hold on baby just a little bit tighter
Hold on a-just a little bit tighter now baby
I love yo so much and I can't let go

The Wonder of You
Elvis Presley

(words & music by Baker Knight)

When no-one else can understand me
When everything I do is wrong
You give me hope and consolation
You give me strength to carry on
And you're always there to lend a hand
In everything I do
That's the wonder
The wonder of you
And when you smile the world is brighter
You touch my hand and I'm a king
Your kiss to me is worth a fortune
Your love for me is everything
I'll guess I'll never know the reason why
You love me like you do
That's the wonder
The wonder of you

(Where Do I Begin) Love Story
Andy Williams

(Words by Carl Sigman, Music by Francis Lai )

Where do I begin
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start

With her first hello
She gave new meaning to this empty world of mine
There'd never be another love, another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart

She fills my heart with very special things
With angels' songs , with wild imaginings
She fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go I'm never lonely
With her around, who could be lonely
I reach for her hand-it's always there

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I'll need her till the stars all burn away
And she'll be there

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I'll need her till the stars all burn away
And she'll be there

Dedicated To The One I Love
The Mamas and The Papas

While I'm far away from you my baby
I know it's hard for you my baby
Because it's hard for me my baby
And the darkest hour is just before dawn

Each night before you go to bed my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love
(love can never be exactly like we want it to be)

I could be satisfied knowing you love me
(and there's one thing I want you to do
especially for me)
And it's something that everybody needs

While I'm far away from you my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby
Because it's hard for me my baby
And the darkest hour is just before dawn

If there's one thing I want you to do especially for me
Then it's something that everybody needs

I haven't sworn here yet, but it's my fuckin' thread, and that just brought big old tears to my eyes...I love that song, and miss her.

Gol darn it, how can love be so precious and hurt so much?

 

[TantaLiza]

I haven't heard this in years! What a great choice.

So glad you like it!! If I had half these songs on CD, I'd never need the radio!! They don't write them like they used to... ~sigh~

'Til a Tear Becomes a Rose

John Prine


Darling, I can see the clouds around you
And in your heart I know a sorrow grows
But if you weep I'll be right here to hold you
'Til each tear you cry becomes a rose

Dearest love, I know your heart been shattered
And all my words can offer no relief
But my love will heal the pain you've suffered
And I'll be here if you should turn to me

I deepest night when memories tend to gather
Lay with me and put your fears to sleep
'Cause there's no pain no dream can put asunder
All the love that binds us you and me

Darling, I can see the clouds around you
And in your heart I know a sorrow grows
But if you weep I'll be right here to hold you
'Til each tear you cry becomes a rose
'Til each tear you cry becomes a rose

All I Ever Need Is You
Sonny And Cher

(Jimmy Holiday/Eddie Reeves)

Sometimes when I´m down and all alone
just like a child without a home
the love you give me keeps me hangin´ on
awww honey, all I ever need is you

You´re my first love you´re my last
you´re my future, you´re my past
and loving you is all I ask
aww honey, all I ever need is you

Winters come and they go
and we watch the melting snow
but sure as summer follows spring
all the things you do
give me a reason to spend me life
around you.......

Some men follow rainbows I am told
some men search for silver, some for gold
but I have found my treasure in your soul
my honey, all I ever need is you........

First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
Roberta Flack

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the end of the skies

And the first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love

And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last, till the end of time, my love

The first time ever I saw your face
Your face
Your face
Your face...
