Cry Like A Baby
When I think about the good love you gave me
I cry like a
baby
Livin' without you is drivin' me crazy
I cry like a baby
Well I
know now that you're not a plaything
Not a toy or a puppet on a string
As
I look back on a love so sweet
I cry like a baby
Every road is a loney
street
I cry like a baby
Today we passed on the street
And you
just walked on by
My heart just fell to my feet
And like a fool
I began
to cry
When I think about the good love you gave me
I cry like a baby
Livin' without you is drivin' me crazy
I cry like a baby
Fields Of Clover
You're walkin' in fields of clover
I hear you finally made
it to the classy side of town
It made me sad, got to feelin' bad, 'til I
thought it over
And now I'm alright 'cause you're alright
Baby, baby, I
know you're sleepin' warm tonight
Oh, you crossed the tracks in a hurry, yes you did
You
didn't even stop to tell me goodbye, yea
But them pretty dresses that you're
wearin', baby
Are payment enough, you're sure lookin' tough
I always told
you, ah that you had the stuff, yea, yea
Baby, you're walkin' in fields of clover
You're steppin'
high like a lady should
Now maybe someday you'll wave to me from across the
tracks, yea
And I'll be alright knowing you're alright, baby, baby
I know
you're sleepin' warm tonight, yea, yea
Happy Times
Time
All those happy times
Time
Days of summer love
Time
That I held your hand and the world stood still
Ah haa
Time
Those happy times
Time
Down by the riverside
Time
We were making love, listen to the birdies sing
Ah haa
Now, I'm all alone
Happy times are gone
Gone just like
the season
Winter's on the ground
And my heart is cold
You left me
without reason
But I remember those
Time
Those happy times
Time
Down by the riverside
Time
We were making love, listen to the birdies sing
Ah haa
Time
All those happy times
Time
Days of summer love
Time
That I held your hand and the world stood still
Ah haa
Time
Happy, happy times
Time
All those happy times
Time
Neon Rainbow
The city lights, the pretty lights
they can warm the
coldest nights
all the people going places
smiling with electric faces
what they find the glow erases
what they've lost the glow replaces, and life
is love.
In a neon rainbow, a neon rainbow.
Moving lights, flashing sights
blinking faster than your mind
leading people with suggestions
leaving no
unanswered questions
you can live without direction
and if don't have to
be affection, and life is love.
In a neon rainbow, a neon rainbow.
But in
the daytime everything changes
nothing remains the same, no one smiles
anymore
and no one left open his door
until the night time comes, and then
there ...
City lights, the pretty lights
they can warm the coldest nights
all the people going places
smiling with the electric faces
what they find
the glow erases
and what they've lost the glow replaces, and life is love.
In a neon rainbow, a neon rainbow, a neon rainbow.
The Letter
Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane,
I ain't got time to take a
fast train.
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home,
'Cause my baby wrote
me a letter.
I don't care how much money I gotta spend,
Got to get back to
my baby,
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home,
'Cause my baby wrote me a
letter.
Well, she wrote me a letter,
Said she couldn't live without
me no more.
Listen, mister, can't you see I got to get back
To my baby
once more--anyway...
Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane,
I ain't got time to
take a fast train.
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home,
'Cause my baby
wrote me a letter.
Soul Deep
Darlin' I don't know much
I know I love you so much
My
life depends on your touch
And my love is a river runnin' soul deep
Way
down inside me it's-a soul deep
It's too big to hide and it can't be denied
My love is a river runnin' soul deep
I'll work myself to death for ya
Just
to show I adore ya
Nothin' I wouldn't do for ya
"Cause my love is a river
runnin' soul deep
Way down inside me it's-a soul deep
It's too big to hide
and it can't be denied
My love is a river runnin' soul deep
Huh!
All I
ever, ever hope to be
Depends on your love for me
Baby believe me
If you should leave me
I'd be nothin' but an empty shell
I know darn well, I can tell, ah
I don't know much
I know I love you so
much
My life depends on your touch
And my love is a river runnin' soul
deep
Way down inside me it's-a soul deep
It's too big to hide and it can't
be denied
My love is a river runnin' soul deep
Huh-huh
My love is a
river runnin' soul deep
Way down inside me it's-a soul deep
Well, my love
is a river runnin' soul deep
Way down inside me it's-a soul deep
Yeah, my
love is a river runnin' soul deep
Way down inside me it's-a soul deep
Together
Well, you should see me walkin' with my girlfriend
Oh you
would swear we both were one and it's somethin' else, too
Walk so close,
can't tell where one ends, the other begins
So much love, just ain't no way
to tell
You could see we make it together
You could see the love
look in our eyes
You could see we make it together, forever
You should love someone the way that I do
Don't you know
that your whole life's a stage?
Tryin' to find somebody, gonna love you
Love you like mine, if only for your own sake
You could see we make it together
You could see the love
look in our eyes
You could see we make it together, forever
You could see a long-time love in action
We're livin' and
we?re lovin' our lives away, yeah
Oh you could see we make it together
You could see the love
look in our eyes
You could see we make it together, forever
The Happy Song
Oh, listen here, band up there, on the stand
Sing a joyful
song so we can all sing too
Hum a merry tune to us that fits our mood
Simple little feelings we'll derive from you
Sing us a happy little song that
we can dance to
Oh, sing us a song, a song of love and happiness
A flowing,
going ride and, oh, please do your best
Light and fast, you know, but still
with tenderness
Sing us a happy little song, now, and we can do the rest
We could light the night if we just let feelings flow
Just
let ourselves go
Don't you know?
We could light the night if we just let feelings flow
Just
let ourselves go
Don't you know?
Listen here, band up there, on the stand
Sing a joyful song
so we can all sing too
Hum a merry tune to us that fits our mood
Simple
little feelings we'll derive from you
Sing us a happy little song that we can
dance to
