RAINY DAYS AND MONDAYS
Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothin' ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
Funny, but it seems I always wind up here with you
Nice to know soembody loves me
Funny, but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me
What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
instrumental break
Funny, but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me
What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
Hangin' around
Nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
SATURDAY
Saturday began just the same as other days
But ended up different in many ways
Love is in my world since Saturday
Mornin' came but somehow it didn't seem the same
The sadness of Friday had somehow changed
To the happy sounds of Saturday, Saturday, ever lovin' Saturday
I whistle to bluebirds
I try to tell them how you brought me sunshine
My head's full of new words
They sing to the sounds of the day after Friday
Come and see the flowers or love she gave to me
The touches of laughter and harmony
To the happy sounds of Saturday, Saturday, ever lovin Saturday
instrumental break
My head's full of new words
They sing to the sounds of the day after Friday
Come and see the flowers or love she gave to me
The touches of laughter and harmony
To the happy sounds of Saturday, Saturday, ever lovin Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, ever lovin Saturday
LET ME BE THE ONE
Some sleepless night if you should find yourself alone
Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to when you need someone to turn to
Let me be the one to set things right
When this old world's turned upside down
Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to when you need someone to turn to
Let me be the one
For love and understanding, to find a quiet place,
For silent understanding, a loving touch
Come to me when things go wrong and there's no love to light the way
Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to when you need someone to turn to
Let me be the one
Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to when you need someone to turn to
Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to when you need someone to turn to
Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to when you need someone to turn to
(A PLACE TO) HIDEAWAY
I've got to find a place to hideaway
Far from the shadows of my mind
Sunlight and laughter, love everafter
Oh how I long to find a place to hideaway
I hear you whisper and I must obey
Blindly I follow where you lead
Knowing tomorrow brings only sorrow
Where can I go to find a place to hideaway?
Bright colored pinwheels go 'round in my head
I run though the mist of the wine
But night and the music remind me instead
The world once was mine
I'll save my pennies for a rainy day
But where can I buy another you?
Dreams are for sleeping, love is for weeping
Oh how I long to find a place to hideaway
instrumental break
But night and the music remind me instead
The world once was mine
I'll save my pennies for a rainy day
But where can I buy another you?
Dreams are for sleeping, love is for weeping
Oh how I long to find a place to hideaway
FOR ALL WE KNOW
Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
We've got a lifetime to share
So much to say
And as we go from day to day
I'll feel you close to me
But time alone will tell
Let's take a lifetime to say
"I knew you well"
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow for all we know
waaaaaaaaaah
Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
Let's take a lifetime to say
"I knew you well"
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow for all we know
waaaaaaaaaah
SUPERSTAR
Long ago and oh, so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show
Your guitar it sounds so sweet and clear
But you're not really here, it's just the radio
Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you, I really do
instrumental break
Loneliness is such a sad affair
And I can hardly wait to be with you again
What to say to make you come again?
Come back to me again and play your sad guitar
Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you, I really do
Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you, I really do
DRUSCILLA PENNY
Druscilla Penny, what a name
Are you sure you didn't make it up yourself?
You're very pretty, yes you are
But with all the junk you wear it's hard to tell
Man, you must work hard to get your hair to look like that
I don't need a horoscope to tell me where you're at
Your family's probaly given up on you
Since you began to follow groups of long haired rock and rollers
I can hear your mother, crying for her daughter
AAA AAA AAA AAA
Druscilla Penny, what a girl
Where's the purpose to the crazy life you lead?
It doesn't matter after all
You're so sure that instant love is all you need
instrumental break
I've seen your face at least a thousand times
You're always standing there behind the stages at the concerts
Waiting for an offer to be with someone after
AAA AAA AAA AAA
Druscilla Penny, how's your head?
Do you ever wake up lonely in the night?
It isn't easy for a girl when she can't decide if love is wrong or right
I hope I live to see a change
Could you ever really love, ever really care, every really get it together?
No
Nooo!
ONE LOVE
One love in my young life
Took me somewhere I had never been
And I want to live again, breathe again,
In the shelter of his brightly woven love song
So long I have wanted love to be sitting just this near to me
Now my waiting heart is free
Few are the choices we are given, the sands of time pass quickly by
One dream of my young life
Now stands holding out his hand to me
Now I can't help but believe
That my whole life will be spent in one love
instrumental break
Few are the choices we are given, the sands of time pass quickly by
One dream of my young life
Now stand holding out his hand to me
Now I can't help but believe
That my whole life will be spent in one love, spent on one love
BACHARACH/DAVID MEDLEY: Knowing When To Leave, Make It Easy On Yourself,
Always Something There To Remind Me, I'll Never Fall In Love Again, Walk On By,
Do You Know The Way To San Jose?
Go while the going is good
Knowing when to leave may be the smartest thing that anyone can learn
Go!
I'm afraid my heart isn't very smart
Fly while you still have your wings
Knowing when to leave won't ever let you reach the point of no return
Fly!
Foolish as it seems I still have my dreams
So I'll keep hoping
Day after day as I wait for the man I need
Night after night as I wish for the love that can be
Though I'm sure that no one can tell where there wishes and hopes will be
Somehow I feel there is happiness waiting for me
When soemone walks in your life you just better be sure he's right
Cause if he's wrong there are heartaches and tears you must pay
Keep both of your eyes on the door never let it get out of sight
Just be prepared when the time has come you run away
Say when the wind starts to blow:
"But like a fool I don't know when to leave!"
And make it easy on yourself, make it easy on yourself
Cause breaking up is so very hard to do
If you should find you miss the sweet and tender love we used to share
Just go back to the places where we used to go and I'll be there
Oh how can I forget you?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you
And I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me
Woah woah woah, waaaaah!
instrumental break
When there is always something there to remind me
Don't tell me what it's all about
Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you, here to remind you, here to remind you
Here to remind you
What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
If you see me walking down the street and I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe that you don't see the tears just let me grieve
I'm crying because each time I see you I break down and cry
Walk on by
I just can't get over losin you so if I should seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride, that's all that I have left so let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me when you said goodbye
Walk on by, by
Do you know the way to San Jose?
I've been away so long
I may go wrong and lose my way
Do you know the way to San Jose?
I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose, yeah
L.A. is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car
In a week maybe two they'll make you a star
Weeks turn into years how quick they pass
And all the stars that never worked are parking cars and pumping gas
I've got lots of friends in San Jose
Can't wait to get back to San Jose
Do you know the way to San Jose?
SOMETIMES
Sometimes, not often enough
We reflect upon the good things
