1.Aurora
Written：Richard Carpenter／John Bettis
Morning opens quietly, a shadow vision over me.
I know you well hidden by the window pane
and all my sadness, gone charade,
Begins to fade, how long it stayed.
Patterns of another day, awaken slowly out of gray.
A tolling bell, rolling down the alleyway,
it's calling all my dreams away.
My dreams are songs I play.
2.Only Yesterday
Written：Richard Carpenter／John Bettis
After long enough of being alone,
Ev'ryone must face their share of loneliness.
In my own time nobody knew
the pain I was goin' thru,
And watin' was all my heart could do.
Hope was all I had until you came,
Maybe you can't see how much you mean to me.
You were the dawn breaking the night
The promise of morning light.
Filling the world surrounding me
Baby, baby,
your love's made me
free as a song,
singin' for ever.
(chorus)
Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely,
You showed me the way to leave the past
and all it's tears behind me.
Tomorrow maybe even brighter than today
since I threw my sadness away.
Only yesterday
(musical interlude)
3.Desperado
Lyrics：Glenn Frey
Music：Don Henley
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses？
You been out ridin' fences for so long now.
Oh, you're a hard one,
but I know that you've got your reasons.
These things that are pleasin' you
can hurt you somehow.
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy!
She'll beat you, if she's able.
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet.
Now it seems to me some fine things
have been laid upon your table,
but you only want the ones that you can't get.
Desperado, ah, you ain't gettin' no younger.
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home.
Freedom, oh, freedom. That's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone.
Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime？
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine.
It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day.
You're losin' all your highs and lows.
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away？
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses？
Come down from your fences, open the gate.
It may be rainin' , but there's a rainbow above you.
You better let somebody love you (2x)
before it's too late.
4.Please Mr. Postman
Written：Brian Holland／Robert Bateman／Berry Gordy
( Stop )Oh yes, wait a minute
Mister Postman
( Wait )
Wait Mister Postman
(＊)Please Mister Postman look and see
( Oh yeah )
If there's a letter in your bag for me
( Please, Please, Mister Postman )
Why's it takin' such a long time
( Oh yeah )
For me to hear from that boy of mine
There must be
Some word today
From my boyfriend
So far away
Please Mister Postman
Look and see
If there's a letter
A letter for me
I've been standin' here
Waitin' Mister Postman
So patiently
For just a card
Or just a letter
Sayin' he's returning'
Home to me
Repeat(＊)
So many days
You passed me by
See the tears
Standin' in my eyes
You didn't stop
To make me feel better
By leavin' me
A card or a letter
Repeat(＊)
( Why don't you check it and see one more time
for me you gotta )
Wait a minute, wait a minute...
( Mister Postman )
Mister Postman look and see
( C'mon deliver the letter, the sooner, the better )
Mister Postman

5.I Can Dream Can't I
Lyrics：Irving Kahal／Sammy Fain
Music：Irving Kahal／Sammy Fain
As we eye the blue horizon's bend,
Earth and sky appear to meet and end.
But it's merely an illusion.
Like your heart and mine,
There is no sweet conclusion
I can see,
No matter how near you'll be,
You'll never belong to me.
But I can dream Can't I？
Can't I pretend
that I'm locked in the bend of your embrace？
For dreams are just like wine,
And I am drunk with mine
I'm aware my heart is a sad affair.
There's much disillusion there,
But I can dream, Can't I
Can't I adore you although we are oceans apart？
I can't make you open your heart,
But I can dream Can't I
6.Solitaire
Lyrics：Neil Sedaka／Phil Cody
Music：Neil Sedaka／Phil Cody
There was a man, a lonely man,
who lost his love through his indifference.
A heart that kept, that went unchecked,
until it died within his silence.
And Solitaire's the only game in town,
and every road that takes him down.
And by himself, it's easy to pretend,
he'll never love again.
And keeping to himself he plays the game,
without her love it always ends the same.
While life goes on around him everywhere,
he's playing Solitaire.
A little hope goes up in smoke,
just how it goes, goes without saying.
There was a man, a lonely man,
who would command the hand he's playing.
(chorus)
And Solitaire's the only game in town,
and every road that takes him down.
While life goes on around him everywhere,
he's playing Solitaire.
7.Happy
Written：Tony Peluso／Diane Rubin／John Bettis
I've played the game of love before,
Too young to know how hard the fall could be.
I never thought I'd try again,
Somehow you brought the gambler out in me
You can deal me in this time,
even tho the odds are high,
we'll play them down.
You may be a chance I need to take,
and the hand I'm holdin' says it's no mistake.
(Chorus)
HAPPY is the way I'm feelin',
and I know it comes from being with you.
All at once my life is changin',
and I know it's 'cause I'm fallin' in love with you.
Fallin' in love with you,
Fallin' in love,
Fallin' in love with you.
If this is luck then let it ride,
If this the stars they're surly on my side.(surly on my side)
I've never been so satisfied by love before,
for all the times I've tried.
These beginnings could me more
then the brief affair I bargained for.
Little did I know when we began,
that my time had come to win a hand.
(Chorus)
HAPPY is the way I'm feelin',
and I know it comes from being with you.
All at once my life is changin',
and I know it's 'cause I'm fallin' in love with you.
Fallin' in love with you,
Fallin' in love,
Fallin' in love with you.
Please forgive me,
if I seem to be walkin' thru a wakin' dream.
Laughter never came so easily,
there's a freedom here that's new to me.
(Chorus)
HAPPY is the way I'm feelin',
and I know it comes from being with you.
All at once my life is changin',
and I know it's 'cause I'm fallin' in love with you.
Fallin' in love with you,
Fallin' in love,
Fallin' in love with you.
8.Caught Between Goodbye And I Love You
9.Love Me For What I Am
Written：John Bettis／Palma Pascale
We fell in love on the first night that we met,
Together we've been happy, I have very few regrets.
The ordinary problems have not been hard to face,
but lately little changes have been slowly taking place.
You're always finding something wrong in what I do,
but you can't rearrange my life because it pleases you.
(Chorus)
You've got to LOVE ME FOR WHAT I AM for simply being me.
Don't love me for what you intend or hope that I will be,
And if you're only using me to feed your fantasy,
you're really not in love, so let me go.
I must free.
If what you want isn't natural for me,
I won't pretend to keep you, what I am I have to be.
The picture of perfection is only in your mind,
for all you expectations love can never be designed.
We either take each other for ev'rything we are,
or leave the life we've made behind and make another start.
(repeat chorus)
10.Eventide
Written：Richard Carpenter／John Bettis
Lying under barren skies,
that light escaping from my eyes.
Below the moon,
walking down the avenue,
I'm followed by the afterglow.
The velvet rose of evening grows.
Weary to be home again,
among the faces of my friends.
The day is done,
candles burning by the sea
are waiting for me patiently.
I wish the same for you.
