The Lovers, The Dreamers, And Me

Jane Monheit The Lovers, The Dreamers, And Me Lyrics
1.Like A Star

Just like a star across my sky,
just like an angel off the page,
you have appeared to my life,
feel like I'll never be the same,
just like a song in my heart,
just like oil on my hands,
Honor to love you

Still i wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
with anyone but you,
we do it all the time,
blowing out my mind,

You've got this look i can't describe,
you make me feel I'm alive,
when everything else is au fait,
without a doubt you're on my side,
heaven has been away too long,
can't find the words to write this song of your love,

Still i wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
with anyone but you,
we do it all the time,
blowing out my mind,

Now i have come to understand,
the way it is,
It's not a secret anymore,
'cause we've been through that before,
from tonight I know that you're the only one,
I've been confused and in the dark,
now I understand,

I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
with anyone but you,
I wonder why it is,
I wont let my guard down,
for anyone but you
we do it all the time,
blowing out my mind,

Just like a star across my sky,
just like an angel off the page,
you have appeared to my life,
feel like I'll never be the same,
just like a song in my heart,
just like oil on my hands.


2.Something Cool

Something cool
I'd like to order something cool
It's so warm here in town and this heat gets me down
Yes, I'd like something cool

My, it's nice to simply sit and rest awhile
You know it's a shame
I can't think of your name
I remember your smile

I don't ordinarily drink with strangers
I guess I usually drink alone
But you were so awfully nice to ask me
And I'm so terribly far from home

Like my dress I must confess it's very old
But it's simple and neat, it's just right for this heat
Save my furs for the cold
A cigarette, no I don't smoke them as a rule
But I'll have one, it might be fun with something cool

I'd bet you wouldn't imagine that I once had a house
With so many rooms you couldn't count them all
I'll bet that you couldn't imagine I had fifteen different boys
Who would beg and beg to take me to a ball

And I know you couldn't picture me
The time I went to Paris in the fall
And who would think the man that I loved
Was quite so handsome and quite so tall

Well, it's through, it's just a memory I had
One I almost forgot since the weather's so hot
And I'm feeling so bad about a date, oh wait, I'm such a fool
He's just a guy who stopped to buy me something cool


3.Slow Like Honey

You moved like honey in my dream last night
Yeah, some old fires were burning
You came near to me and you endeared to me
But you couldn't quite discern me

Does that scare you? I'll let you run away
But your heart will not oblige you
You'll remember me like a melody
Yeah, I'll haunt the world inside you

And my big secret - Gonna win you over
Slow like honey, heavy with mood

I'll let you see me, I'll covet your regard
I'll invade your demeanor
And you'll yield to me like a scent in the breeze
And you'll wonder what it is about me

It's my big secret - Keeping you coming
Slow like honey, heavy with mood

Though dreams can be deceiving
Like faces are to hearts
They serve for sweet relieving
When fantasy and reality lie too far apart

So I stretch myself across, like a bridge
And I pull you to the edge
And stand there waiting
Trying to attain
The end to satisfy the story
Shall I release you?
Must I release you?
As I rise to meet my glory

But my big secret
Gonna hover over your life
Gonna keep you reaching
When I'm gone like yesterday
When I'm high like heaven
When I'm strong like music
''cause I'm slow like honey, and
Heavy with mood


4.This Girl's In Love With You

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, 'cause I've heard some talk
they say you think I'm fine
This girl's in love and what I'd do to make you mine
tell me now is it so'
Don't let me be the last you know
My hands are shaking
don't let my heart keep breaking, 'cause
I need your love I want your love
Say you're in love and you'll be my guy
if not I'll just die...
(vocaliza''o)

tell me now, is it so'
don't let me be the last you now
My hands are shaking
don't let my heart keep breaking,
'cause I need your love I want your love
Say you're in love and you'll be my, my guy
if not I'll just Die...


5.I'm Glad There Is You


6.Get Out Of Town

Get out of town
Before it's too late my love
Get out of town
Be good to me please

Why wish me harm
Why not retire to a farm
And be contented to charm
The birds off the trees

Just disappear
I care for you much too much
And when you're near
Close to me dear
We touch too much

The thrill when we meet
Is so bittersweet that
Darling it's getting me down
On your mark, get set,
Get out of town.

Get out of town
Before it's too late my love
Get out of town
Be good to me please

Why wish me harm
Why not retire to a farm
And be contented to charm
The birds off the trees

Just disappear
I care for you much too much
And when you're near
Close to me dear
We touch too much

The thrill when we meet
Is so bittersweet that
Darling it's getting me down
On your mark, get set,
Get out of town.


7.I Do It For Your Love


8.I Ain't Gonna Let You Break My Heart

There ain't no use in me trying to tell you how I feel
'Cause what I feel ain't what you're feeling
I don't know what we did wrong, I just know if you come home
I ain't gonna let you break my heart again

There ain't no use in me trying to find out where you've been
'Cause where you've been ain't where I'm going
'Cause if I ask you where you've been the hurting starts and it
don't end
So I ain't gonna let you break my heart again
No, I ain't gonna let you break my heart again

Tears don't become me, pain ain't my friend
It seems like you enjoy my crying, baby
You always said that I was strong, I believe that you were wrong
Lately God knows I have been trying

There ain't no use in you trying to kiss away the hurt, baby
'Cause it hurts where it's deep down inside of me and it's
hiding
If you decide you're coming home when you walk in, it won't be
like before
'Cause I ain't gonna let you break my heart again
No, I ain't gonna let you break my heart again, oh no, oh no,
no, no

Tears don't become me, pain ain't my friend
It seems like you enjoy my crying, baby
You always said that I was strong, I believe that you were wrong
Lately God knows I have been trying

There ain't no use in you trying to kiss away the hurt, baby
'Cause it hurts where it's deep down inside of me and it's
hiding
If you decide you're coming home when you walk in, it won't be
like before
'Cause I ain't gonna let you break my heart again
No, ain't gonna let you break my heart again, oh no, no


9.Ballad Of The Sad Young Men

Sing a song of sad young men
Glasses full of rye
All the news is bad again
Kiss your dreams Goodbye

All the sad young men
Sitting in the bars
Drinking up the night
Missing all the stars

All the sad young men
Drifting through the town
Drinking up the night
Trying not to drown

All the sad young men
Singing in the cold
Trying to forget
That they are growing old

All the sad young men
Choking on their youth
Trying to be brave
Running from the truth

Autumm turns
The leaves to gold
Slowly dies the heart
Sad young men
Are growing old
That's the cruelest part

All the sad young men
Seek a certain smile
Someone they can hold
For just a little while

Tired little girl
She does the best that she can
Trying to be gay
For a sad young man

While a grimy moon
Blossoms up above
All the sad young men
They play at making love

Misbegotten moon
Shine for sad young men
May your gentle light
Guide them home again
All the sad young men


10.No Tomorrow


11.Lucky To Be Me

What a day
Fortune smiled and came my way
Bringing love I never thought I'd see
I'm so lucky to be me

What a night
Suddenly you came in sight
Looking just the way I'd hoped you be
I'm so lucky to be me

I am simply thunderstruck
With this change in my luck
Knew at once I wanted you
Never thought you want me too

I'm so proud
You chose me from all the crowd
There's no other girl I'd rather be
I'm so lucky to be me

I am simply thunderstruck
With this change in my luck
Knew at once I wanted you
Never thought you'd want me too

I'm so proud
You chose me from all the crowd
There's no no other girl I'd rather be
I could laugh at loud
I'm so lucky to be me
I'm so lucky to be me


12.A Primeira Vez

A primeira vez que eu te encontrei,
alimentei a ilusao de serfeliz
Eu era triste, sorri peguei no pinho e cantei
Tantos versos eu fiz em meu peito guardei
Um dia voce partiu,
meu pinho emudeceu e a minha voz nagargan- ta morreu
Procuro esquecer a dor,
nao sou capaz, meu violao naotoca mais
Eu vivo triste a meditar,
nao canto mais, meu consolo echorar


13.Rainbow Connection

Why are there so many,
Songs about rainbows,
And what's on the other side.

Rainbows are visions,
But only illusions,
Rainbows have nothing to hide.

What's so amazing,
That it keeps us star gazing,
And what do they think we might see.

Oh, someday we'll find it,
The Rainbow Connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.

Have you been half asleep,
And have you heard the voices,
Well, I've heard them calling my name.

Is this the sweet sound,
That calls the young sailors,
Their voice might be one and the same.

I've.. heard it too many, many, many times to ignore it,
And I think it might be.. oh..

Someday we'll find it,
The Rainbow Connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
