1.Sunrise

Lyrics：Eric Carmen
Music：Eric Carmen

Sunrise, shine down a little love
On the world today
Make a morning so sweet
That it'll have to chase my blues away
Oh, the moon and stars have gone
And I can see the light of dawn
Like a golden smile
Brightening up the brand new day

Sunrise, come wrap me in the warmth
Of your crimson sky
I spent a long time believin'
In a dream that had passed me by
But the moon and stars have gone
And I can see the light of dawn
Like a golden smile
Brightening up the morning sky

From my bed I can hear the world outside
I get up, throw my window open wide
Take a breath of that fresh air
Take a breath of that fresh air
Fresh air

Sunrise, shine down a little love
On the world today
Make a morning so sweet
That it'll have to chase my blues away
Oh, the moon and stars have gone
And I can see the light of dawn
Like a golden smile
Brightening up the brand new day
Brand new day


2.That's Rock'n Roll

Lyrics：Eric Carmen
Music：Eric Carmen

Well I was sixteen
And sick of school
I didn't know what I wanted to do
I bought a guitar
I got the fever
That's rock'n roll

I played at parties
Played in bars
I spent my money buyin' new guitars
I screamed my heart out
But how I loved it
That's rock'n roll

Well, come on everybody
Get down and get with it
Come on everybody
Get down and get with it
Come on everybody
Get down, that's rock'n roll

It's when the smokin'
And the heat
Have got your heart pounding right with
The beat
Don't try to fight it
Just get excited
That's rock'n roll

Well it's the roadies
And the crowd
It's when the band's playin' way too loud
Your hips are shakin'
Ain't no mistakin'
That's rock'n roll

Well, come on everybody
Get down and get with it
Come on everybody
Get down and get with it
Come on everybody
Get down, that's rock'n roll

Now don't you worry
'Bout bein' a star
It doesn't matter who or what you are
Just get the rhythm
And let it fill ya
That's rock'n roll

And if you feel it
Clap your hands
Let's see some sweat for the boys in the band
Now lemme hear ya
Lemme hear ya
That's rock'n roll

(Everybody) get down and get with it
Come on everybody
Get down and get with it
Come on everybody
Get down, that's rock'n roll


3.Never Gonna Fall In Love Again

Lyrics：Eric Carmen
Music：Eric Carmen

No use pretending things can still be right
There's really nothing more to say
I'll get along without your kiss good night
Just close the door and walk away

Never gonna fall in love again
I don't wanna start with someone new
'Cause I couldn't bear to see it end
Just like me and you
No, I never wanna feel the pain
Of remembering how it used to be
Never gonna fall in love again
Just like you and me

At first we thought that love was here to stay
The summer made it seem so right
But like the sun we watched it fade away
From morning into lonely night

Never gonna fall in love again
I don't wanna start with someone new
'Cause I couldn't bear to see it end
Just like me and you
No, I never wanna feel the pain
Of remembering how it used to be
Never gonna fall in love again
Just like you and me


4.All By Myself

Lyrics：Eric Carmen
Music：Eric Carmen

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And makin' love was just for fun
Those days are gone

Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself anymore

Hard to be sure
Some times I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself anymore


5.Last Night

Lyrics：Eric Carmen
Music：Eric Carmen

I think I'll stay at home tonight
Just play some records
And catch up on some sleep
Sometimes I like to be alone
I've been so busy
Maybe someone will drop by

Last night when I went to bed
I was lonely
Last night when I went to bed
I was so blue
But that's the last night
Yeah, that's the last night
Well, that's the last night
I'm gonna lose any sleep over you

I waited for the phone to ring
And when it didn't
I turned on the Carson show
I lit another cigarette
And dialed your number
But there was no one at home

Last night when I went to bed
I was lonely
Last night when I went to bed
I was so blue
But that's the last night
Yeah, that's the last night
Well, that's the last night
I'm gonna lose any sleep over you

I walked across the street
To the drugstore and I bought a magazine
Then I came back home
And read it through

Last night when I went to bed
I was lonely
Last night when I went to bed
I was so blue
But that's the last night
Yeah, that's the last night
Well, that's the last night
I'm gonna lose any sleep over you

I think I'll stay at home tonight
Just play some records
And catch up on some sleep


6.My Girl

Lyrics：Eric Carmen
Music：Eric Carmen

Sometimes it's hard to know
What your heart is feelin'
And harder still to put it into words
Love is simple you can't define it
It's not the words but the thought
Behind it that counts

My girl
She's everything a lover could possibly be
My girl
Makes love the way I always dreamed
It would be

Deep down inside I know
What I should be saying
But every time I try, it comes out wrong
Well our love is a love forever
And when we're all alone together
She shows me

My girl
She's everything a lover could possibly be
My girl
Makes love the way I always dreamed
It would be

I'd need a lifetime
To show her all the love I have to give
And hold her in my heart
For as long as I live
(We'll stick together
Like the moon and the night-time
Happy forever I could spend my lifetime)
So in love with

My girl
She's everything a lover could possibly be
My girl
Makes love the way I always dreamed
It would be


7.Great Expectations

Lyrics：Eric Carmen
Music：Eric Carmen

Seems everyday
I'm gettin' harder pressed
To find a reason to shave
Watchin' the hours
Just slippin' away
No motivation to get out of bed
And carry on the charade
Caught in a dream that's goin' astray

Oh, all those great expectations
Seems they never work out, never work out
The way that I plan
All those great expectations
Why they never work out, never work out
I can't understand

And just when I think
That things are goin' right
I get a call from L.A.
Sorry to say 'we're changin' your song'
I try to reason
But I can't get through
They're gonna do it their way
What can I say
They've never been wrong

Oh, all those great expectations
Seems they never work out, never work out
The way that I plan
All those great expectations
Why they never work out, never work out
I can't understand

Life is just a game of chance
I think somebody said so
Sometimes you get a hula hoop
Sometimes you get an Edsel

Oh, all those great expectations
Seems they never work out, never work out
The way that I plan
All those great expectations
Why they never work out, never work out
I can't understand


8.Everything

Lyrics：Eric Carmen
Music：Eric Carmen

You just strap on that guitar
And you can make yourself a star
And look at everything
With a jaded nonchalance
You've got money, you've got fame
You've got coast-to-coast acclaim
You've got everything
That a man could ever want
Everything


9.No Hard Feelings

Lyrics：Eric Carmen
Music：Eric Carmen

We was young
And still believed in a 'Hard Day's Night'
But no one seemed to understand
That there was no relief in sight
The company man
He's got his nose glued to the charts
He says the record's doin' fine
But now the group is fallin' apart

I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause there isn't anyone to blame
I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause nothin' ever stays the same
Well we was locked in image prison
Waitin' for that break
We was raped, reshaped and tryin' to escape
Caught in a rock and roll time warp
Just tryin' to find the way to get out

Four years on
And things were really gettin' too intense
Critics ravin' 'bout our album
But we're makin' fifty cents
And in the end
We was facin' the hard, cold truth
So tomorrow come what may
Looks like it's Ricky and The Tooth

I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause there isn't anyone to blame
I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause nothin' ever stays the same
Well we was locked in image prison
Waitin' for that break
We was raped, reshaped and tryin' to escape
Caught in a rock and roll time warp
Just tryin' to find the way to get out

We gave it everything we had to give
But it was gettin' so tough
Too much frustration makes it hard to live
I think enough is enough
I said enough is enough

I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause there isn't anyone to blame
I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause nothin' ever stay the same
While we was locked in image prison
Waitin' for that break
We was raped, reshaped and tryin' to escape
Caught in a rock and roll time warp
Just tryin' to fine the way to get out

Lemme out, lemme out
Lemme out, lemme out
I gotta get out
Lemme out, lemme out
I gotta gotta gotta get out
Lemme out
I gotta get out
Lemme out, lemme out, lemme out
Lemme out


10.On Broadway

Written：B.Mann／C.Weil／M.Stoller／J.Leiber

They say the neon lights are bright
On Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
But when you're walkin' down that street
And you ain't got enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere

They say the chicks are somethin' else
On Broadway
But lookin' at them just gives me the blues
'Cause how ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes

They say that I won't last too long
On Broadway
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home they all say
But they're dead wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit till I'm a star
On Broadway

But they're dead wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit till I'm a star
On Broadway
On Broadway
I'm gonna make it, yeah
On Broadway
I'll be a big, big man
On Broadway
I'll have my name in lights
On Broadway
Everybody gonna know me
On Broadway
All up and down Broadway
On Broadway

12.Sunrise(Live Version)

Lyrics：Eric Carmen
Music：Eric Carmen

Sunrise, shine down a little love
On the world today
Make a morning so sweet
That it'll have to chase my blues away
Oh, the moon and stars have gone
And I can see the light of dawn
Like a golden smile
Brightening up the brand new day

Sunrise, come wrap me in the warmth
Of your crimson sky
I spent a long time believin'
In a dream that had passed me by
But the moon and stars have gone
And I can see the light of dawn
Like a golden smile
Brightening up the morning sky

From my bed I can hear the world outside
I get up, throw my window open wide
Take a breath of that fresh air
Take a breath of that fresh air
Fresh air

Sunrise, shine down a little love
On the world today
Make a morning so sweet
That it'll have to chase my blues away
Oh, the moon and stars have gone
And I can see the light of dawn
Like a golden smile
Brightening up the brand new day
Brand new day
