The Fleetwoods Greatest Hits Lyrics
1.Come Softly to Me

Lyricist:Gretchen Christopher, Barbara Ellis, Gary Troxel

Come softly, darling
Come softly, darling
Come softly, darling
Come softly, darling

Come softly, darling
Come to me, stay
You're my obsession
For ever and a day

I want, want you to know
I love, I love you so
Please hold, hold me so tight
All through, all through the night

I speak softly, darling
Hear what I say
I love you always
Always, always

I've waited, waited so long
For your kisses and your love
Please come, come to me
From up, from up above

I want, want you to know
(Come softly, darling)
I love you I love you so
(Come softly, darling)

I need, need you so much
(Come softly)
Wanna feel your warm touch
(Come softly)


2.'Lovers by Night, Strangers by Day'

Lyricist:John Jr. Gluck, Neval Abou Nadar

Darling hold my hand, let me know that you understand
That till I'm free from the girl who loves me

We must be secretly lovers by night, strangers by day
Till the time you can be in my arms endlessly
Lovers by night, strangers by day

She's been good to me but she gets hurt, oh so easily
So till I tell her it's all over stay with me

Let's still be lovers by night, strangers by day
Till we walk, walk as one, hand to hand in the sun
Lovers by night, strangers by day

Lovers by night, strangers by day
Till we walk, walk as one, hand to hand in the sun
Lovers by night, strangers by day

Lovers by night, strangers by day
Lovers by night, strangers by day
Lovers by night


3.Tragedy

Lyricist:Fred Burch, Gerald Nelson

Wind and storm
Gone's the sun
From the stars
My dark has come

You've gone from me
Whoa, whoa, tragedy

Oh, come back
Have me here
Hold me love
Be sincere

You've gone from me
Whoa, whoa, tragedy

Like smoke from a fire
Our love, whoa, oh
Our dreams have all gone
Above, whoa, oh

Blown, blown by wind
Kissed by the snow
All that's left
Is the dark below

You've gone from me
Whoa, whoa, tragedy
Whoa, whoa, whoa, tragedy


4.Mr. Blue

Lyricist:Dewayne Blackwell

Our guardian star lost all his glow
The day that I lost you
He lost all his glitter the day you said no
And his silver turned to blue

Like him I am doubtful
That your love is true
But if you decide to call on me
Ask for Mr. Blue

I'm Mr. Blue
When you say you love me
(I'm Mr. Blue)
Then prove it by goin' out on the sly
Provin' your love isn't true
Call me Mr. Blue

I'm Mr. Blue
When you say you're sorry
(I'm Mr. Blue)
Then turn around headin' for the lights of town
Hurtin' me through and through
Call me Mr. Blue

I stay at home at night
(I stay at home)
Right by the phone at night
(Right by the phone)
But you won't call and I won't hurt my pride
Call me Mr.

I won't tell you
While you paint the town
(I'm Mr. Blue)
A bright red to turn it upside down
I'm paintin' it too
But I'm paintin' it blue
Call me Mr. Blue

Call me Mr. Blue
Call me Mr. Blue


5.(He's) The Great Imposter

Lyricist:Jackie De Shannon, Sharon Sheeley

Well, I went and lost her
To the great imposter
I stood and watched her fall
Couldn't help her at all

Poetry, so sweet, has her at his feet
She thinks she's the one but he has just begun
All her friends they just watch her
For they know the great imposter

Don't she know he's on a stage
It's not real, it's just a play
And he's playing a part
That is soon to break her heart

Oh, can't she see tomorrow's misery?
Soon she'll learn her fate but it will be too late
All her friends they just watch her
For they know the great imposter

Poetry, so sweet, has her at his feet
She thinks she's the one but he has just begun
All her friends they just watch her
For they know the great imposter

And she's soon to join the roster
For they know the great imposter
And she's soon to join the roster
For they know the great imposter
And she's soon to join the roster


6.Confidential

Lyricist:Dorinda Morgan

Confidential as a church at twilight
(Confidential)
Sentimental as a rose in the moonlight
(I love you)
My love for you will always be
(Confidential)
Confidential to me
(Ooh)

Confidential as a mother's prayer
(Confidential)
Too beautiful for other hearts to share
(It's a secret)
My love for you will always be
(Confidential)
Confidential to me

Our love's, our precious secret
A beautiful thing apart
There's no need for prying eyes
To look into my heart

Confidential as a baby's cry
(Confidential)
Sacred and holy as a lover's sigh
(I love you)
My love for you will always be
(Confidential)
Confidential to me

Confidential as a baby's cry
Sacred and holy as a lover's sigh
(I love you)
My love for you will always be
(Confidential)
And confidential to me
(Ooh)


7.Goodnight My Love

Lyricist:John S. Marascalco, George Motola

Goodnight, my love, pleasant dreams and sleep tight, my love
May tomorrow be sunny and bright and bring you closer to me

Before you go there's just one thing I'd like to know
If you love is still warm for me or has it gone cold?

If you should awake in the still of the night, please have no
fear
For I'll be there, darling you know I care
Please give your love to me, dear, only me

Goodnight, my love, pleasant dreams and sleep, sleep tight, my
love
May tomorrow be sunny and bright and bring you closer to me
And bring you closer to me


8.Graduation's Here

Lyricist:Gretchen Christopher, Barbara Ellis, Gary Troxel

Graduation, graduation, graduation

High school parties are over
Things won't be the same
The day to grow up finally came

Graduation's here, graduation

Our trips to the ocean
Were so much fun
Remember the games we almost won

Graduation's here

Our senior year and our one big sin
Was the 'senior skip' when we were all turned in
The gaudy mischief had to come but now it's gotta go
'Cause graduation's here and we'll soon be on our own

Graduation, graduation, graduation

Now we are walking down the aisle
I'm cryin' inside but I'm tryin' to smile
Goodbye friends, alma mater too

Graduation's here, graduation
Graduation, graduation, graduation
