Carly Simon Film Noir Lyrics
1.You Won't Forget Me

Lyrics:K.Goell/F.Speilman
Music:K.Goell/F.Speilman

You won't forget me, though you may try
I'm part of memories, too wonderful to die
And it will happen, that now and then
You'll fall to wonderin' if we shouldn't have tried again

You won't forget me, on nights like this
The moon will cast on you the shadow of my kiss
No matter where you are with whom you are
You'll think of me, you won't forget me
Just wait and see, you won't forget me
Just wait and see, you won't forget me
Just wait and see


2.Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Vocal:Carly Simon/Ben Taylor

Everytime we say goodbye I die a little
Everytime we say goodbye I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me who must be in the know
Think so little of me, they allow you to go

And when you're near there's such an air of Spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer but how strange the change from major
to
minor
Everytime we say goodbye

Why the gods above me who must be in the know
Think so little of me, they allow you to go
And when you're near there's such an air of Spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it

There's no love song finer but how strange the change from major
to
minor
Everytime we say goodbye, everytime we say goodbye
Everytime we say goodbye, everytime we say goodbye.....


3.Lili Marlene

Written:M.David/N.Schulze/H.Leip
Vocal:Carly Simon/Mindy Jostyn

Outside the barracks by the corner light
Darling I remember how I'd wait for you at night
There we'd create a world for two, I'd wait for you
The whole night through, was there that you'd whisper tenderly
That you loved me, you'd always be
Be my Lili Marlene, be my Lili Marlene

I'd give you a rose to show I care,
And wind it through your golden hair
Then we would say goodnight and part,
I'll always keep you in my heart
With me Lili Marlene, with me Lili Marlene

My Lili of the lamplight, my own Lili Marlene


4.Last Night When We Were Young

Written:E.Harburg/H.Arien
Vocal:Carly Simon/Ben Taylor

Last night when we were young
Love was a star, a song unsung
Life was so new, so real, so bright, ages ago, last night

Today, the world is old
You flew away, and time grew cold
Where is that star
That seems so bright
ages ago, last night

To think that spring had depended
on merely this, a look, a kiss
To think that something so splendid
could slip away in one little daybreak
So now lets reminisce and recollect the size of the kisses
The arms that clung, when we were young last night

So now lets reminisce and recollect the size of the kisses
The arms that clung, when we were young last night
Last night, oooooh, last night, ooooooh, last night


5.Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year

Lyrics:F.Loesser
Music:F.Loesser
Vocal:Carly Simon/Jimmy Webb

Spring will be a little late this year
a little late arriving, in my lonely world over here
For you have left me and where is our April love old
Yes you have left me and winter continues cold
As if to say that spring will be a little slow to start
A little slow reviving that music it made in my heart
Cause time heals all things, so I needn't cling to this fear
It's merely that spring will be a little late this year
Yes time heals all things so I needn't cling to this fear
It's merely that spring will be a little late this year


6.Film Noir

Written:J.Webb/C.Simon
Vocal:Carly Simon/Ben Taylor

Got on in New Haven
Last car on the train.
Put my hat on the seat,
Wipe the tears from my eyes.

I watched my life go by,
Like a movie in my brain.
Scenes unreeling;
In a sceneless chain
On the window,
and a silver screen of rain!

And the opening title scroll,
and the score comes in and under.
And I'm in the starring role,
in a world of love-struck wonder;

It's a tale full of promise, about two crazy kids;
Falling in love, but in flashback.

And then the music,
that gorgeous music;
And I wake up,
Rattling down the railroad track.

He could be sweet,
But I stayed on my guard.
Just how good a liar
can a decent man be?

I always played my hand
Like I didn't have the cards.
Cause he held them all
So I could never see.
Yes, he played me for a fool,
and I agreed.

And the closing credits roll,
And the waves come in like thunder.
Cause the hero's lost control,
And I made a fatal blunder.

Just another sad story;
Two star-crossed kids,
Racing headlong up a cul-de-sac.

And then that music,
That mournful music.
And the train's disappearing
Down that railroad track.

And the long, slow dissolve,
As we fade to black.


7.Laura

Lyrics:Mercer/Raskin/Carly Simon
Music:Mercer/Raskin

Lead-in with Haunting:
There's always someone, haunting someone, haunting someone,
I can't sleep easy, cause I'm afraid of dreaming
And then the memory of the dream
There's always someone, haunting someone, haunting someone

Laura is the face in the misty night
Footsteps that you hear down the hall
The laugh that floats on a summer's night
That you might never quite recall
And you see Laura on a train that is passing through
Those eyes how familiar they seem
She gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura but she's only a dream

She gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura
But she's only a dream

Yes she gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura, but she's only a dream
A dream, a dream


8.I'm A Fool To Want You

Written:F.Sinatra/J.Herron/J.Wolf

I'm a fool to want you, I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true, a love that's there for
others too
I'm a fool to hold you, such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone, to share a kiss the devil has
known

Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
And then would come a time when I would need you
And once again these words I'd have to say

Take me back, I love you, pity me, I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I can't get along without you
hmmmm, I'm a fool to want you
You hurt me time and time again
But I still love you babe
I'm a fool, I'm your fool

10.Two Sleepy People

Written:F.Loesser/H.Carmichael
Vocal:Carly Simon/John Travolta

Here we are, out of cigarettes
Holding hands and yawning, see how late it gets
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
Too much in love to say goodnight

Here we are, in the cozy chair
Pickin' on a wishbone, from the frigidaire
Two sleepy people with nothing to say
But too much in love to break away

Do you remember, the nights we used to linger in the hall
Your father didn't like me at all
Do you remember the reason why we married in the fall
To rent this little nest, get a bit of rest

Who will .......

Here we are just about the same
Foggy little fella, drowsy little dame
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
And so much in love, so much in love
Too much in love to say, too much to say, to say


11.Don't Smoke In Bed

Lyrics:W.Robinson
Music:W.Robinson

I left a note on his dresser
And my old wedding ring
With these few goodbye words
How can I sing
Goodbye old sleepy head
I'm packing you in like I said
Take care of everything
I'm leaving my wedding ring

Don't look for me
I'll get ahead
Remember darling
Don't smoke in bed

Don't look for me
I'll get ahead
Remember darling
Don't smoke in bed


12.Somewhere In The Night

Lyrics:J.Myrow/M.Gordon
Music:J.Myrow/M.Gordon

Somewhere in the night chasing shadows around the bend
Somewhere in the night chasing rainbows that have no end
In the misty night, you are mine and you hold me fast
But dreams have a way of calling it a day
They seldom last, our dreams have past
But in my lonely flight, I'll keep searching till time is
through
Somewhere in the night till I find you

In the misty light you are mine and you hold me fast
But dreams have a way of calling it a day
They seldom last, our dreams have past
But in my lonely flight, I'll keep searching till time is
through
Somewhere in the night, till I find you
