Up On The Roof[Songs From Brill

Neil Diamond Up On The Roof[Songs From Brill Lyrics
1.You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling

Vocal:Neil Diamond/Dolly Parton

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before in your finger tips
You're trying hard not to show it (baby)
But baby, baby I know it
You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling
Oh that Lovin' Feeling
You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling
Now it's gone gone gone oh oh oh

There's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you
And girl you're starting to criticize little things I do
Ooh, it makes me just feel like crying (baby)
'Cause baby something beautiful's dying
You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling
Oh that Lovin' Feeling
You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling
Not it's gone gone gone oh oh oh

Baby baby I get down on my knees for you
(Get down on my knees)
If you would only love me like you used to
(If you would only love me love me)
We had a love, a love that you don't find everyday
(A love you don't find)
So don't don't don't let it slip away (away)
I said baby
Baby
Baby
Baby
(I'm beggin you please) I'm begging you please
I need your love (I need your love)
I need your love
So bring it on back (bring it on back)
Now bring it on back
Now bring it on back

You've got to bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling 'cause it's gone gone gone
And I can't go on oh oh oh

Bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling 'cause it's gone gone gone
Bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling 'cause it's gone gone gone
Bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling 'cause it's gone gone gone


2.Up On The Roof

Lyrics:Gerry Goffin/Carole King
Music:Gerry Goffin/Carole King

When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
Let me tell you now

When I come home feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)
I get away from the hustling crowd
And all that rat-race noise down in the street (up on the roof)
On the roof, the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Let's go up on the roof (up on the roof)


At night the stars put on a show for free
And, darling, you can share it all with me

I keep a-tellin' you

Right smack dab in the middle of town
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof (up on the roof)
And if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
Up on the roo-oo-oof (up on the roof)
Oh, come on, baby (up on the roof)
Oh, come on, honey (up on the roof)
FADE

Everything is all right (up on the roof)




Up On The Roof


When this old world starts getting me down



And people are just too much for me to face



I climb way up to the top of the stairs



And all my cares just drift right into space



On the roof, it's peaceful as can be



And there the world below can't bother me



Let me tell you now




When I come home feeling tired and beat



I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)



I get away from the hustling crowd



And all that rat-race noise down in the street (up on the roof)



On the roof, the only place I know



Where you just have to wish to make it so



Let's go up on the roof (up on the roof)




At night the stars put on a show for free



And, darling, you can share it all with me



I keep a-tellin' you




Right smack dab in the middle of town



I've found a paradise that's trouble proof (up on the roof)



And if this world starts getting you down



There's room enough for two



Up on the roof (up on the roof)



Up on the roo-oo-oof (up on the roof)

Oh, come on, baby (up on the roof)



Oh, come on, honey (up on the roof)



FADE


Everything is all right (up on the roof)

Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

4.Will You Love Me Tomorrow

Lyrics:Gerry Goffin/Carole King
Music:Gerry Goffin/Carole King

Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sighs?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun?

I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?


5.Don't Be Cruel

Written:Otis Blackwell/Elvis Presley

You know I can be found
Sittin' home all alone
If you can't come around
At least please telephone
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true

Baby, if I made you mad
Somethin' I might have said
Please forget my past
The future looks bright ahead
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
I don't want no other love
Baby it's still you I'm thinking of, mmm

Don't stop thinkin' of me
Don't make me feel this way
Come on, let me hear you love me
You know what I want you to say
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
Why should we be apart?
I really love you baby, cross my heart

Let's walk up to the preacher
And let us say I do
Then you'll know you'll have me
And I know that I'll have you
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
I don't want no other love
Baby it's still you I'm thinking of

Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
I don't want no other love
Baby it's still you I'm thinking of


6.Do Wah Diddy Diddy

Written:Barry/Greenwich
Vocal:Neil Diamond/Mary's Danish

There she was just a-walkin' down the street, singin' 'Do wah
diddy diddy dum diddy do'
Snappin' her fingers and shufflin' her feet, singin' 'Do wah
diddy diddy dum diddy do'
She looked good (looked good), she looked fine (looked fine)
She looked good, she looked fine and I nearly lost my mind

Before I knew it she was walkin' next to me, singin' 'Do wah
diddy diddy dum diddy do'
Holdin' my hand just as natural as can be, singin' 'Do wah diddy
diddy dum diddy do'
We walked on (walked on) to my door (my door)
We walked on to my door, then we kissed a little more

Whoa-oh, I knew we was falling in love
Yes I did, and so I told her all the things I'd been dreamin' of

Now we're together nearly every single day, singin' 'Do wah
diddy diddy dum diddy do'
A-we're so happy and that's how we're gonna stay, singin' 'Do
wah diddy diddy dum diddy do'
Well I'm hers (I'm hers), she's mine (she's mine)
I'm hers, she's mine, wedding bells are gonna chime

Whoa-oh, I knew we was falling in love
Yes I did, and so I told her all the things I'd been dreamin' of

Now we're together nearly every single day, singin' 'Do wah
diddy diddy dum diddy do'
A-we're so happy and that's how we're gonna stay, singin' 'Do
wah diddy diddy dum diddy do'
Well I'm hers (I'm hers), she's mine (she's mine)
I'm hers, she's mine, wedding bells are gonna chime

Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh yeah
Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do, we'll sing it
Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do, oh yeah, oh, oh yeah
Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do


7.I(Who Have Nothing)

Lyrics:Jerry Leiber/Mike Stoller
Music:Giulio Rapetti/Labati Carlo Donida

I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Adore you and want you so
I'm just a no one with nothing to give you but, oh
I love you

He, he buys you diamonds
Bright, sparkling diamonds
But, believe me, dear, when I say
That he can give you the world but he'll never love the way
I love you

He can take you any place he wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed up against the window pane

I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Must watch you go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else when, darling, it's I
Who loves you

I love you
I love you
I love you


8.Do You Know The Way To San Jose?

Do you know the way to San Jose?
I've been away so long. I may go wrong and lose my way.
Do you know the way to San Jose?
I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose.

L.A. is a great big freeway.
Put a hundred down and buy a car.
In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star
Weeks turn into years. How quck they pass
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas

Do you know the way to San Jose?
They've got a lot of space. There'll be a place where I can stay
I was born and raised in San Jose
I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose.

Fame and fortune is a magnet.
It can pull you far away from home
With a dream in your heart you're never alone.
Dreams turn into dust and blow away
And there you are without a friend
You pack your car and ride away

I've got lots of friends in San Jose
Do you know the way to San Jose?
Can't wait to get back to San Jose.


9.Don't Make Me Over

Don't make me over
Now that I'd do anything for you
Don't make me over
Now that you know how I adore you

Don't pick on the things I say, the things I do
Just love me with all my faults, that way that I love you
I'm begging you

Don't make me over
Now that I can't make it without you
Don't make me over
I wouldn't change one thing about you

Just take me inside your arms and hold me tight
And always be by my side, if I am wrong or right
I'm begging you

Don't make me over
Don't make me over
Now that you've got me at your command

Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things that I do
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things that I do

Now that I'd do anything for you
Now that you know how I adore you

Just take me inside your arms and hold me tight
And always be by my side, if I am wrong or right
I'm begging you

Don't make me over
Don't make me over
Now that you've got me at your command

Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things that I do
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things that I do


10.A Groovy Kind Of Love

Lyrics:Phil Collins
Music:Phil Collins

When I'm feeling blue, all I have to do
Is take a look at you, then I'm not so blue
When you're close to me, I can feel your heart beat
I can hear you breathing near my ear
Wouldn't you agree, baby you and me got a groovy kind of love

Anytime you want to you can turn me onto
Anything you want to, anytime at all
When I kiss your lips, ooh I start to shiver
Can't control the quivering inside
Wouldn't you agree, baby you and me got a groovy kind of love,
oh

When I'm feeling blue, all I have to do
Is take a look at you, then I'm not so blue
When I'm in your arms, nothing seems to matter
My whole world could shatter, I don't care
Wouldn't you agree, baby you and me got a groovy kind of love
We got a groovy kind of love
We got a groovy kind of love, oh
We got a groovy kind of love


11.Spanish Harlem

Written:Jerry Leiber/Phil Spector

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
It is a special one, it's never seen the sun
It only comes out when the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming
It's growing in the street right up through the concrete
But soft and sweet and dreamin'

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
With eyes as black as coal that look down in my soul
And starts a fire there and then I lose control
I have to beg your pardon
I'm going to pick that rose and watch her as she grows in my
garden


I'm going to pick that rose and watch her as she grows in my
garden

(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)
FADE


12.Sweets For My Sweet

Lyrics:Doc Pomus/Mort Shuman
Music:Doc Pomus/Mort Shuman

If you wanted a star that shines so brightly
To match the stardust in your eyes
Darling, I would chase that bright star nightly
And try to steal it from the skies


Cuz I give sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your perfect kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Il never ever let you go

If you needed a dream to keep you smiling
I tell the sandman you were blue
And I ask him to keep that sand piling
Until your dreams would all come true


If you wanted a love to last forever
Then I would send my love your way
And my love won only last forever
But forever and a day

Happy birthday sweet sixteen
Tra la-la-la-la la-la-la-la
Happy birthday sweet sixteen

Tonight's the night I've waited for
Because you're not a baby anymore
You've turned into the prettiest girl I've ever seen
Happy birthday sweet sixteen

What happened to that funny face
My little tomboy now wears satin and lace
I can't believe my eyes you're just a teenage dream
Happy birthday sweet sixteen

When you were only six I was your big brother
Then when you were ten We didn't like each other
When you were thirteen You were my funny valentine
But since you've grown up Your future is sewn up
From now on you're gonna be mine, so

If I should smile with sweet surprise
It's just that you've grown up before my very eyes
You've turned into the prettiest girl I've ever seen
Happy birthday sweet sixteen

REPEAT LAST VERSE
Tra la-la-la-la la-la-la-la Happy birthday sweet sixteen
Tra la-la-la-la la-la-la-la Happy birthday sweet sixteen
FADE:Tra la-la-la-la la-la-la-la Happy birthday sweet sixteen


14.Ten Lonely Guys

Written:Goldstein/Rogers/Elgin/Farrell/Fein/Feldman

Each night we meet and talk about you
Reminisce about the things you used to do
We just sit around broken-hearted
'cause all of us are still in love with you

CHORUS
Oh, yes we're ten lonely guys with ten broken hearts
We thought your lies were true
Yes we're just ten lonely guys with tears in our eyes
Ten lonely guys who still love you

Eddie was the first one to hold you
Jerry was the first to taste your kiss
Then came Johnny, Stan, Richie, Neal, and Bobby, Jack, and Cliff
And I was the last one on your list

CHORUS

The footsteps at the door can mean just one thing
Someone else has been a fool for you
One more guy who wants to tell his story
One more guy who knows what we've been through

Oh, yes we're ten lonely guys with ten broken hearts
We thought your lies were true
Yes we're just ten lonely guys with tears in our eyes
And tonight we'll set a chair for someone new


15.Save The Last Dance For Me

Lyrics:Doc Pomus/Mort Shuman
Music:Doc Pomus/Mort Shuman

You can dance ev'ry dance with the guy who gives you the eye,
let him hold you tight
You can smile ev'ry smile for the man who held your hand 'neath
the pale moonlight
But don't forget who's taking you home and in whose arms you're
gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me mmmm

Oh, I know that the music's fine like sparkling wine go and have
your fun
Laugh and sing but while we're apart don't give your heart to
anyone
But don't forget who's taking you home and in whose arms you're
gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me mmmm

Baby don't you know I love you so
Can't you feel it when we touch
I will never never let you go
I love you oh so much

You can dance go and carry on till the night is gone and it's
time to go
If he asks if you're all alone can he take you home you must
tell him no
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home and in whose arm's
you're gonna be
So darlin save the last dance for me

Music interlude

'Cause don't forget who's taking you home and in whose arm's
your gonna be
So darlin save the last dance for me mmmm

Save the last dance for me mmmm

Save the last dance for me
