A Love To Last
02:14
|
|||
|
I want a love that’s easy,
I want a love to last,
I want a love only time can bring,
That’s more than Spring,
When Autumn leaves have passed.
I want a love that needs me, I want a kiss to last,
I want a love to surrender to, I never knew,
My heart would ever ask.
There’s no fool like an old fool,
Maybe it’s just too late for me?
Been afraid to open up,
Or to share my coffee cup,
Now all my photographs of you are fading fast
I want a love that’s easy,
I want our love to last!
There’s no fool like an old fool,
Baby this fool’s in love with you,
If you’re confused here’s why,
I’m in love I can’t deny,
It’s your smile, that look, that laugh,
Those eyes are unsurpassed.
I want a love that’s easy,
No more sad goodbyes,
Finally I’m wise,
I want our love to last,
I want our love to last!

Don't Let A Man
02:45
|

Don't let a man
Stop you from being flawless
Don't let a man
Steal your hopes and plans
If he says it's because he loves you
Don't believe him
Maybe he’s jealous
And aint that just like a man
Don't let a man fool you with his kindness
He may want you to make his every wish come true
And if that works for ya
He better adore ya
Oh that man he better be good to you
He may be handsome
He might be funny
Or maybe he has a lot of money
But if he’s sincere, he will he give you what you need
Don’t let a man take away your future
Don’t let a man be your only destiny
Unless that man is the one
That is your best friend
Like my man, like my man is to me

Now And Then

He doesn’t know I exist
That never stopped me before
And yet he’s bound to resist
I’ve got to try just once more
Accidentally, I’ll run into him now and then
Remind him of my name again
I’ll be pretending to forget
The way we ever met
Secretly, when he’s not looking I’ll be ‘round
To comfort him when he gets down
And be a friend
More than just now and then.
I long to find my way into his heart
And be the part of his life between the straight and narrow
And every day we’re closer than before
I’ll send my kisses to him
Along with Cupid’s arrow
Happily, we’ll stroll together down the aisle
He’ll look at me and I will smile
I’ll be remembering when
We ran into each other now and then
I long to find my way into his heart
And be the part of his life between the straight and narrow
And every day we’re closer than before
I’ll send my kisses to him
Along with Cupid’s arrow
Happily, we’ll stroll together down the aisle
I’ll look at him and he will smile
We’ll be remembering when
We ran into each other now and then
We’ll be remembering when
We ran into each other now and then

The Gypsy In Me
03:08
|
|||
|
I want to live in a world
Where every day is a song
I’m an old fashioned girl
And things have gone terribly wrong today
With our modern way
I want to go back and start my life over again
It’s just the gypsy in me
Longing to be
Searching my soul for every possibility
Will I ever find the music in my mind?
Oh when will I free
The gypsy in me?
I want to feel the breeze in my hair and my face
Flowers grow to my knees all over the place
Guitars to strum
Ukuleles, drums
Stirring my senses and making me feel young again
It’s just the gypsy in me
Longing to be
Searching my soul for every possibility
Will I ever find the music in my mind?
Oh when will I free
The gypsy in me?
He swore he loved me so
But I had to let him go
It’s just the gypsy in me
Longing to be
Searching my soul for every possibility
Will I ever find the music in my mind?
Oh when will I free
The gypsy in me?

I'll Take You
02:51
|
|||
|
Heaven it’s not with angels above,
While gazing down on the one I love,
Ev’ryone sings as they all rejoice,
But why have wings if I have no choice?
I’ll take you,
Even if the gods expel me,
I’ll take you,
Even though they try to tell me.
That you’ll lead me astray,
So far away,
From the straight and narrow,
Then you’ll leave me one day,
Laughing and gay,
Heading for the falls in a barrel.
I’ll take you,
Even if you burst my bubble,
Just we two,
A roller coaster ride to trouble
If paradise waits,
Behind these pearly gates,
Without your heavenly eyes of blue,
Well they can have their paradise,
I’ll take you!
Well maybe it’s the devil in you,
Or maybe it’s the devil in me,
Maybe I’m too good to be true,
But I’m crazy about you,
I’m no good without you,
I’m hanging up my halo happy as can be.
I’ll take you,
Even just for one more minute,
I love you,
In your arms there’s no sin in it.
If your sweet embrace,
Means I'm falling from grace,
Well there’s nothing that I can do,
So just put those arms around me,
This time they’re gonna ground me,
Baby if you take me,
I’ll take you,
I’ll take you,
I’ll take you...

Men Don't Understand
03:31
|
|||
|
Girl you're feeling down today
all your friends have gone away
you're just not in the mood
You say you're feeling crazy
And maybe a little lazy
Tomorrow you'll have a better attitude
He don't get your roller coaster
of emotions baby no sir
He shows off with his pride
While you feel like jekyl and miss Hyde
Why can’t he be kind and give a damn
but sadly baby, men don't understand, understand
You say you're lonely in your room
And nothing takes away the gloom
You wish he would just listen like a friend
And now you wanna walk away
From responsibilities today
Until you're feeling better and on the mend
He don't get your roller coaster
of emotions baby no sir
He shows off with his pride
While you feel like jekyl and miss Hyde
Why can’t he be kind and give a damn
but sadly baby, men don't understand, understand
Men don’t understand
I learned that men when in utero
Had those sensitive emotions sucked away
Compassion is recessive to make them more aggressive
And that's why they don't get when women are upset
Oh so you turn up the radio
Cause he says that you don't know
How to deal with your emotions on demand
And as you watch him walk away
You wish somehow he would have stayed
But sorry honey men don't understand.
He don't get your roller coaster
of emotions baby no sir
Better luck next time
Hoping that he might change his mind
But it’s not the way that nature had it planned
And sadly baby men don't understand
Men don’t understand
Men don’t understand

The Guitar
03:14

I can hear your melody from afar
and I try to sing along
With the song you're playing on your guitar
and it's beautiful and strong
It's a precious gift I want you to touch
Give your heart a lift, I don't ask for much
but the melody from your guitar
Every time you play I can hear it clearly
It flows within my heart
Though you're far away it always brings me near
It's so painful to be apart
I miss you day and night
I will wait wait for you
Love you with all my might oh my love is true
and the sun will shine again on your guitar
Keep playing melodies to resurrect those days
I'll sing them loud and strong like you never went away
I miss you day and night I will wait for you
Love you with all my might oh my love is true
And the sun will shine again on your guitar.
Keep playing melodies to resurrect those days
I'll sing them loud and strong like you never went away
I miss you day and night I will wait for you
Love you with all my might oh my love is true
And the sun will shine again on your guitar.
Oh the sun will shine again on your guitar
It's the melody from your guitar

Where Will We Be
03:18
|

|
Here in your arms the minutes pass,
The world is ours to keep,
But stolen moments never last,
They steal the love they reap,
Well let them steal,
Our love is real,
Still I wonder while you sleep...
Oh where will we be,
When moonlight fades,
And morning parades,
This secret love we swore?
Oh where will we be,
When daylight stares,
And trouble declares,
Our love we must ignore?
Like roads of old that lead to Rome,
My love will lead me through,
For in your arms I know I’m home,
All my roads lead to you.
Oh where will we be,
When rumor drums,
And running becomes,
The only open door?
One day may they see,
This love was meant to be,
And wherever you are,
That’s where I will be.
Like roads of old that lead to Rome,
My love will lead us through,
For in your arms I know I’m home,
Oh where will we be,
When fires rage,
And destiny lays,
These castaways ashore?
One day may they see,
This love is meant to be,
And wherever you are,
I won’t be too far,
Cause I’ll be right there,
Holding you day and night there,
Yes, I’ll be right there,
Loving you....

In Deep
02:56
|

|
His hands are warm, like a sunny summer sky
His eyes are blue, like the oceans ebbing tide
His lips are sweet, like the honey from the bee
Don’t ask me how I know but I’m in deep
I never thought I could love this way again
My heart was lost, everybody was a friend
But now I know this is one I want to keep
Don’t ask me how I know but I’m in deep
I don’t care about the mysteries of love
Or the histories of life
But Mister and me, someday we'll be
Husband and wife
The second time, and its gonna be the last
I’ll love again, letting go of what has passed
And now my friends, my heart is finally free
Don’t ask me how I know but I’m in deep
I don’t care about the mysteries of love
Or the histories of life
But Mister and me, someday we'll be
husband and wife
I never thought I could love this way again
My heart was lost, everybody was a friend
But now I know this is one I want to keep
Don’t ask me how I know
This love is the way to go]
Don’t ask me how I know but I’m in deep
Don’t ask me how I know
My heart is fathoms below
Don’t ask me how I know but I’m in deep

I’m writing you a Christmas song
To tell you that I care
This jazzy feel will be ideal
To celebrate another year
With joyful sprits rising high
And Santa on his sleigh
Inspiring awe to all mankind
Leading up to Christmas day
Children are singing
Merry are we
Thanksgiving to New Years eve
This holiday season
Is warming our hearts
With the old fashioned family tree
So if you‘re lucky like I am
You’ll understand this tune
My love for you will last all year
Even from July to June
So remember Father Christmas
For I know he’s on his way
To give the gift of love to you
This Christmas and every day
I hear that children are singing
Merry are we
Thanksgiving to New Years eve
This holiday season
Is warming our hearts
With the old fashioned family tree
So if you‘re lucky like I am
You’ll understand this tune
My love for you will last all year
Even from July to June
So remember Father Christmas
For I know he can’t go wrong
To give to you this gift of love
In a very jazzy Christmas song
