1.A Song For You
(leon russell)
I've been so many places
In my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
I made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life in stages
Ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now
I'm singing this song for you
I know your image of me
Is what i hope to be
I treated you unkindly
But darling can't you see？
There's no-one more important to me
Oh, baby, can't you please see through me？
'cause we're alone now and
I'm singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets
Of the truth withholding nothing
You came out in front
I was hiding
Oh, but now i'm so much better
If the words don't come together
Just listen to the melody
'cause my love in there hiding
Ooh, ooh
Oh, i love you in a place
Where there's no space or time
Love you for my life
You are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and
I was singing this song for you
We were alone
I was singing this song for you, oh
Singing
I was singing, singing, singing, singing, singing this song for
you
Oh, yes
Singing this song for you
2.Ain't No Sun Since You've Been Gone
(sylvia moy ／ norman whitfield ／ cornelius grant)
Into my life
You brought a glowing love
Like a ray of sunshine
From up above
One day out of a clear blue sky
You darkened my life with your words 'goodbye'
That's the day you left me for a stranger
Don't you know that when you left my life
Took on a change-a？
Now i'm telling you it
Ain't no sun since you've been gone
There's a big black cloud hanging over my head
Cloud of loneliness i feel like i'm dead
Ain't no flowers blooming round here for sure
Since you chose to love me no more
I guess you know you took my sunshine away from me baby, boy
You took the life from my world
Crushed my dreams
And i don't mean maybe, baby, baby
And it ain't no sun since you've been gone
Oh, my future, my future
Was as bright as the sun, yes it was
I ain't got no future since you've been gone
I guess you know you took my sunshine away from me baby, yes you
did
You took the life from my world
Crushed my dreams
And i don't mean maybe, baby, baby
It seems like night in the middle of the day
Everything around me is faded and grey
Cold are the days
Dark creeps the night
Never bringing you back into my life
It ain't no sun since you've been gone
You took my sunshine away, yeah ooh, ooh, ooh
You took my sunshine away, yes you did, ooh, ooh, ooh
You took my sunshine away, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh
You took my sunshine away, oh
3.Another Night
(burt bacharach ／ hal david)
Find me a rose that never fades and dies
And i'll show you a man who never, ever cheats and lies
Find me a star and if you can prove
The star you've found just never disappears
I'll show you a man who'll never, never, ever, ever bring you
tears
Another night when i'm all alone
Another night without him
Another night when i stay at home
And worry so about him
Oh, i love him
And my love makes me cry
I need him
If he doesn't come back
I know i'll surely die
Find me a cloud that never brings you rain
And i'll show you a man who never, ever brings you pain
Find me a bird and if you can prove the bird you've found
Has wings and still can't fly
I'll show you a man
Who'll never, never, ever, ever leave you high and dry
Another night when i'm all alone
Another night without him
Another night when i stay at home
And worry so about him
Oh, i love him
And my love makes me cry
I need him
If he doesn't come back
I'll die
And he'll never, never, never, never leave you high and dry
Another night when i'm all alone
Another night without him
Another night when i stay at home
And worry so about him
Another night
Another night, yeah
I'm so alone baby
Another night
I can't stand it, ah
I can't stand it
4.Come For A Dream
(antonio carlos jobim ／ durand ／ norma tanega)
Come for a dream
Come and love in the sun
Come and stay
Just as long as you may
Sunny love for a day
Sunny love may not stay
Love may be glowing fantasy
Young love is free
Come for a smile
Making love in the sun
Like kaleidoscope rainbow begun
Sunny love making fun
Sunny love making one
Magic sensation in the sun
Come for a while
Run away from sorrow
Run away tomorrow
One special day
Warm and dazzling
We climb a tree
Making love in the sea
Sunny love come and be
Sunny love you and me
Imagination is the key
Sing me away, mmm
Run away from longing
Run into belonging
Come for a dream
Come and love in the sun
Come and stay just as long as you may
Sunny love for a day
Sunny love may not stay
Love may be glowing fantasy
Young love is free
Mmm, da, da, dum, da, da, mmm, da, da, dum, da, da..........
5.Crumbs Off The Table
(sherrie payne ／ ronald dunbar ／ edith wayne)
Ooh, hoo
Get up in the morning
'bout a quarter to nine
Get home in the evenin'
Too tired to make time
Give me the lovin'
I've been waiting for all day
You're always a little too tired
To ever look my way
You got me hungry for your love
But you, you ain't able
All you want to give me
Is the crumbs off the table
What you been doin'？
Who you been wooin'？
Tell me, tell me who you been doin'？
I ache inside
With a lovin' desire
But you're too tired, baby
To light my fire
I work in this house all day
And i get tired too
There ain't a day goes by
I ain't willing to make love to you
I'm hungry for your love
But you, you ain't able
All you want to give me
Is the crumbs off the table, ah
What you been doin'？
Who you been wooin'？
Tell me, tell me, tell me who you been doin'？
Hey, sometimes in the middle of the day
I get lovin' you on my mind
But as soon as you get home
You read the paper
Ain't got the time
What you been doin'？
Who you been wooin'？
Tell me, tell me, who you been doin'？
What you been doin'？
Who you been wooin'？
Tell me, tell me, tell me who you been doin'？
I said i'm hungry for your lovin'
But you, you ain't able
All you want to give me is the crumbs off the table
Hungry for your love
But you
6.Girls It Ain't Easy
(ronald dunbar ／ edith wayne)
Yeah, it ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy
To keep the man you love satisfied
It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy
To keep the one you love by your side
A woman's work is never done
Never stops, it goes on and on
You work your fingers to the bone
You gotta be home every time he phones
Sometimes the going gets a little tough
Seems like my best ain't good enough
Keeps you losing sleep
Seven days a week, yeah
It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy
To keep the man you love satisfied
It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy
To keep the one you love by your side
To keep him happy
You must sacrifice
Be ready and willing
To spend lonely nights
Do what you can
Though he seems ungrateful
Love him so true
Even though he seems unfaithful
But when his hope is gone
And life gets him down
That's when he'll say
He needs you around
Hard to live with him
Hard to live without him
It ain't easy, no
Oh, yeah, it ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy
It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy
You got to favour him with understanding
When understanding is what he needs
We try hard to give them respect
All that we get is their regret
But when they're in trouble
They need our love and care
No matter when we gotta be right there
In between the crying
Gotta keep trying
It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy, ooh, ooh, ooh
It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy
It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy, yeah, ooh
It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy, no
7.How Can I Be Sure
(felix cavaliere ／ edward brigati jnr)
How can i be sure？
In a world that's constantly changing
How can i be sure？
Where i stand with you
Whenever i
Whenever i am away from you
I wanna die
'cause you know i wanna stay with you
How do i know？
Maybe you're trying to use me
Flying too high can confuse me
Touch me, but don't take me down
Whenever i
Whenever i am away from you
My alibi is telling people
I don't care for you
Maybe i'm just hanging round
With my head up, upside down
It's a pity for you
I can't seem to find somebody new that's as
Wonderful baby as you
How can i be sure？
I really, really, really, wanna know
Really, really, wanna know , yeah
Also whether
Whether or not we're together
Together will seem that much better
I love you, i love you forever
You know where i can be found
How can i be sure？
In a world that's constantly changing
How can i be sure
I'll be sure with you？
8.I Only Wanna Laugh
(william jacob ／ shannon shor)
Change the mood i'm in
For a little while
Let me see that grin
Let me see you smile
No soulful tales that fret and frown
No woeful wails that get me down
No rights or wrongs
Sing no sad songs for me
I only wanna laugh
No time for crying
I only wanna laugh
No time for tears
I only wanna sing
A song that's happy
That's why i only wanna walk a street that's sunny
I only wanna see the side that's funny
I'm saving all of my tears until tomorrow
'cause crying all my tears
Just ain't my style
I'm acting like a clown
But let me be
'cause even though i know
The joke's on me
I only wanna laugh
Only wanna laugh
Only wanna laugh
I'm saving all of my tears until tomorrow
'cause crying all my tears
Baby, just ain't my style
I'm acting like a clown
But let me be
'cause even though the joke's on me, oh
Tell the girls goodbye
'cause i don't wanna cry
Hey
I only wanna laugh
Only wanna laugh
Only wanna laugh
9.I Start Counting
(basil kirchin ／ jack nathan ／ james coleman ／ patrick ryan)
This year, next year
Sometime never
Paper dreams tied up
With bits of string
Darkness comes
Flowers grow
No-one knows
I start counting
I start counting
Sitting by myself in a secret
Chasing thoughts through rainbows in my mind, yeah
Changing time
Tomorrow's dream
In between
I start counting
Counting, yes i do
Counting, counting, counting, counting, counting
Ooh-hoo-oo, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve
etc.
10.I Think It's Gonna Rain Today
(randy newman)
Broken windows
In empty hallways
Pale dead moon
And the sky streaked with grey
Human kindness overflowing
And i think it's gonna rain today
Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen smiles to keep love away
Human kindness overflowing
And i think it's gonna rain today
Lonely, lonely
Tin can at my feet
I think i'll kick it down the street
That's the way to treat a friend
Right before me
The signs implore me
Help the needy
And show them the way
Human kindness, it's overflowing
And i think it's gonna rain today
Lonely, so lonely
Tin can at my feet
I think i'll kick it down the street
That's the way to treat a friend
Right before me
The signs implore me
Help the needy
And show them the way
Human kindness, it's overflowing
And i think it's gonna rain today
11.I Will Come To You
(clive westlake)
Just like a ship sailing out on a mornin' tide
Sailing far away out to sea and the sea is very wide
You walked away where there's lots of room to hide
Out into the world and the world is very wide
But one day, (baby, one day), baby, one day
I will come to you if it takes everyday left in my life
I will come to you for there must be someone in my life
No matter where you are
I'll find you near or far
Or i will never love 'til i can love with you
And i won't really live
For life without you is like dying
Don't know where you are
And i don't know if you think of me
But where you are
Is the only place i wanna be
Lost in a world of nothing much to do
That's how i am ever since losing you
But one day, (baby, one day), oh, baby, one day
I will come to you if it takes everyday left in my life, yes i
will
I will come to you for there must be someone in my life
No matter where you are
I'll find you near or far
Or i will never love 'til i can love with you
And i won't really live
For life without you is like dying
(i will come to you, ooh, ooh)
There must be someone in my life
(i will come to you, ooh, ooh)
(i will come to you, ooh, ooh)
Oh baby, there must be someone in my life, baby
(i will come to you, ooh, ooh)
Oh, everyday left in my life
12.Let Me Down Easy
(john simon ／ al stillman)
Ahh-haa
Now, if you're gonna let me down
Let me down easy
So i won't be too hurt
After you've gone, ahh honey
If you're gonna set me down
Set me down easy
From that special cloud
You put me on, ooh-hoo
Let me down easy
Oh baby
Let me down slow
So slow and easy, oh
And if you're gonna leave me, baby
Baby please leave me
A little memory
To soften the fall, ooh-hoo
Let me down easy, easy
You gotta do it
You gotta do it
You gotta let me down slow
So slow, slow
If you're gonna let me down
Sweet baby
Let me down so easy
So i can't be too hurt after you've gone, ooh baby, ah, ha, yeah
Ahh, baby, baby, baby, baby
Do it for me, do it, do it, ahh, yeah
(from that special cloud)
You put me on
You put me on it, oh, yeah
Now if you're gonna let me down
Let me down easy
13.Love Power
(teddy vann)
When we walk
Down the street
We don't care
Who we see
Or who we meet
Don't have to run
Don't have to hide
'cause we got something burning inside
We got love power
It's the greatest power of them all
We got love power
And together we can't fall
Sometimes we're up
Sometimes we're down
But our feet are always on the ground
We always laugh
Don't have to cry
And this is the reason why
We got love power
It's the greatest power of them all, hey, hey, hey
We got love power
And together we can't fall, hey
Sometimes we're up
Sometimes we're down
But our feet are always on the ground
We always laugh
Don't have to cry
And this is the reason why
We got love power
It's the greatest power in the world
We got love power
And together we can't fall
We got love, hey, love power
It's the greatest feeling of them all, hey, hey, hey
We got love, oh, power
And together
14.Mixed Up Girl
(jimmy webb)
Ah, ha, ah
Gonna let you go my angel
Though i could make you stay
I could use my blind self-pity
Throw it in your way
But the times have turned between us
And you know i don't believe
That it makes one bit of difference
If you stay or if you leave
Why can't i be lonely
Like that lonely rushing river？
Pushing down a mountain
On it's way to meet the sea
Why can't i need somebody
Like that river needs that ocean？
Why did you have to get so mixed up, baby？
With a mixed up girl
With a mixed up girl like me, yeah
Gonna make it short now, angel
Though i could make it long
I could take through all the changes
And show you where you're wrong
But our dreams don't flow together
And you'll never, never see the light
So it really, really doesn't matter
Who is wrong or who is right？
Oh, why can't i be lonely
Like that lonely rushing river？
It's pushing down the mountain
On its way to meet the sea
Oh, why can't i need somebody
Like that river needs that ocean？
Why did you have to get so mixed up, baby？
With a mixed up girl
With a mixed up girl like me, mmm, ooh, mmm, ooh
15.Morning
(nana cayammi ／ gilberto gil ／ norma tanega)
The morning it is sad
The morning so beautiful
The sunshine it is sad
The sunshine no friend of mine
You awake
It is day
As you go from me away
The morning it is sad
The morning so beautiful
So, alone i will stay
The daylight takes you away
So i wait 'til good night
Begins to end the daylight
The daytime, the daybreak
The dawning
Come away, until day
Come away with me my love
Come away, until day
Come away and sing the night
The morning it is sad
The morning so beautiful
The sunshine it is sad
The sunshine no friend of mine
You awake it is day
As you go from me away
The morning it is sad
The morning so beautiful
16.See All Her Faces
(jim stratton ／ alexander ryan)
Here she comes
Here she comes
Ribbons flying from her half-forgotten hair
Look at her run
See what the world and love have done
See all her faces
See all her faces
Look in my eyes
That she is me
I can't disguise
See all her faces
Ah, ha, see all her faces
I'm looking for someone
Of the gentle kind
Knowing that looks can lie
Looking for someone
Is he there to find？
Or should i run on by, ah, ha
Here she comes
Here she comes
Shadows sadly chasing
Every step she takes
Look at her now
She needs love so much more somehow
See all her faces
See all her faces
Look at my life
The wasted years
Each a knife
See all her faces, ah-ha
See all her faces
Waiting for someone
Who will set me free
Passing the time too fast
Waiting for someone
Is that where he'll be？
Or should i run right past？, hmm
There she goes
There she goes
Somehow making me and all her faces sad, oh, oh
Ba, da, ba, da, ba, da, ba, da......
17.Sweet Inspiration
(j. cameron ／ k. prowse)
Ahh, yeah, baby
Just a-listen to me now
You may not bring me your love
But you bring me your
Sweet inspiration
Yeah, you do
Sweet new creation
Flows from my fingertips
Each time i kiss your lips
You may not give me your heart
But you give me such
Sweet thoughts and music
Please don't refuse it
All that i offer you
Is all that's due to
Someone who could make the stormy skies
Forever blue
Who can turn the snow to summer sun
The wake-up frost to morning dew
You may not bring me your love
But you bring me your sweet inspiration
Stay around a little while
Let me see you laugh
Let me see you smile
Turn me onto everything you might be
Oh, baby, to me
Sweet inspiration
Oh, yeah
Sweet inspiration, ooh
Mmmm
You may not realise everything you mean to me
Two children playing in the sun
Learning to be free
Oh, oh
You may not bring me your love
But you bring me your
Sweet thoughts and music
Come on
Please don't refuse it
All that offer you
Is all that's due to
Someone who could make the stormy skies
Forever blue
Who can turn the snow to summer sun
The wake-up frost to morning dew, oh, oh, oh, baby
You may not bring me your love
But you bring me your
Sweet inspiration
Yeah, you do
Sweet new creations
Fall from my fingertips
The time i kiss your lips
Sweet inspiration
Come on baby, can't you see now？
Come on baby, oh yes
Sweet inspiration
Give me your sweet inspiration
18.Take Another Little Piece Of My Heart
(bert berns ／ jerry ragavoy)
Didn't i make you feel
Like you were the only man？
Didn't i give you everything
A woman possibly can？
But with all the love i give you
It's never enough
I'm gonna show you baby
That a woman can be tough
So come on, come on, come on, come on
(take it)
Take another little piece of my heart, now baby
(break it)
Break another little bit of my heart, now honey

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby
You know you've got it if it makes you feel good
Yeah, out on the street
And you know deep down in your heart
That ain't right
I know you never never hear me
When i cry at night
I tell myself that i can't stand the pain
But when you hold me in your arms i say it again
So come on come on, come on, come on and
(take it)
Take another little piece of my heart, now baby
(break it)
Break another little bit of my heart, now honey

Take another little bit of my heart honey, now baby
You'd better
(have a)
Have another little piece of my heart, now baby
You'd better
Take it
Take another little bit of my heart, now baby
19.The Second Time Around
(sammy cahn ／ jimmy van heusen)
Love is lovelier
The second time around
Just as wonderful
With both feet on the ground
It's that second time
You hear your love song sung
Makes you think, perhaps,
That love, like youth,
Is wasted on the young
Love's more comfortable
The second time you fall
Like a friendly home
The second time you call
Who can say what led us to
This miracle we've found？
There are those who bet
Love comes but once, and yet
I'm oh so glad we met
The second time around
Love's more comfortable
The second time you fall
It's like a friendly home
The second time you call
I wanna ask you
What led us to this miracle we've found？
There are those who bet
Love comes but once, and yet
I'm oh so glad we met
The second time around
20.This Girl's In Love With You
(burt bacharach ／ hal david)
You see this girl
This girl's in love with you
Yes i'm in love
Who looks at you the way i do？
When you smile i can tell
We know each other very well
How can i show you
I'm glad i got to know you？
Yes, i've heard it said
They say you think i'm fine
Yes i'm in love
And what i'd do to make you mine
Tell me now
Is it so？
Don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking
Don't let my heart keep breaking
'cause i need your love
Oh, yes i do
(i want your love)
Baby i need it
(say you're in love)
In love with this girl
If not, i'll just die
Ah, tell me now
Is it so？
Don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking
Don't let my heart keep breaking
I need your love
Oh, yes i do
(i want your love)
Some of your loving
(say you're in love)
In love with this girl
If not, i'll just die
21.Wasn't Born To Follow
(gerry goffin ／ carole king)
Though i'd rather go and journey
Where the diamond crescents glowing
Run across the valleys
Beneath the sacred mountain
And wander through the forest
Where the trees of leaves are prisms
That break the light of day into colours
That no-one knows the names of
And when it's time
I go and wait beside
A legendary fountain
'til i see your form reflected
In it's clear and jewelled water
And if you think i'm ready
You may lead me to the chasm
Where the rivers of our vision
Flow into one another
And i'll stay awhile
And wonder at
The myths that they've created
And lose myself within it
Cleanse my mind and body
And i know at the moment
As i stand in that cathedral
I will want to dive in
The white cascading water, water, water
He may beg
And he may plead
He may argue with his logic
He can mention all the things i'll lose
That really have no value
Though i doubt that he will ever come
To understand my meaning
In the end he'll surely know
I was not born to follow
I was not born to follow
I wasn't born to follow, no, no
I wasn't born to follow
I wasn't born to follow, no, no
I wasn't born to follow
I wasn't born to follow
Said i......
22.What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life
(alan bergman ／ marilyn bergman ／ michel legrand)
What are you doing the rest of your life？
North and south and east and west of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me
All the seasons and the times of your days
All the nickels and the dimes of your days
Let the reasons and rhymes of your days
All begin and end with me
I want to see your face
In every kind of light
In fields of dawn
And forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
Those tomorrow's waiting deep in your eyes
And the world of love you keep in your eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two
Through all of my life
Summer, winter, spring and fall of my life
All i ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you, ooh, ooh
23.Who(Will Take My Place)
(charles aznavour ／ herbert kretzmer)
Who, when my life is through？
Who will know the joy
I have known with you？
Who will touch your face？
Sleep in your embrace？
Who will take my place
When i sleep alone？
Who, when the day is done？
Who will hold the hand
Of my only one？
Who will climb the heights？
Finding in your nights
All those wild delights
Only i have known
You say you'll always love me
Time has another claim
Why do the gods above me
Play the cynical game？
Oh, life, isn't what it seems
Fickle as the wind
Fragile as a dream
When i end my years
Who will ease my pain？
Kiss away my tears？
And bury me again？
24.Yesterday When I Was Young
(charles aznavour ／ herbert kretzmer)
Spoken：somehow, it seems the love i knew was always the most
destructive kind
Yesterday when i was young
The taste of life was sweet
As rain upon my tongue
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
The way the evening breeze
May tease the candle flame
The thousand dreams i dreamed
The splendid things i planned
I always built to last on weak and shifting sand
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
And only now i see how the time ran away
Yesterday when i was young
So many lovely songs were waiting to be sung
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my eyes refused to see
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation that i can now recall
Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all
The game of love i played with arrogance and pride
And every flame i lit too quickly, quickly died
The friends i made all somehow seemed to slip away
And only now i'm left alone to end the play, yeah
Oh, yesterday when i was young
So many, many songs were waiting to be sung
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my eyes refused to see
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday
When i was young
