Vonda Shepard Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.A New Marilyn

Got one now with a Catholic name
A little less righteous, she ain't quite the same
Walkin' the streets under the media moon
Silvery screen paints her sultry tune
She wears her lipstick outside of the lines
Picture on the cover of the New York Times
The mole on her cheek looks like her very own
She lives and breathes in a new Marilyn home

(Chorus)

A new Marilyn, a new Marilyn
Everybody's lookin' for a new Marilyn
Everywhere I go, everywhere I been
Everybody's lookin' for a new Marilyn

Where would she be after twenty-five years
What would she think if she were to hear
Everywhere you look there's somebody new
Trying to replace you, trying to replace you...Marilyn

(Chorus)

A new Marilyn, a new Marilyn
Everybody's lookin' for a new you know who
Everywhere I go, everywhere I been
Everybody's lookin' for a new Marilyn
A new Marilyn, a new Marilyn
Everybody's lookin' for a new you know who
Everywhere I go, everywhere I been
Everybody's lookin' for a new Marilyn

(Isn't this a great party?)

(Chorus)

A new Marilyn, a new Marilyn
Everybody's lookin' for a new you know who
Everywhere I go, everywhere I been
Everybody's lookin' for a new Marilyn


2.A World Without Love

I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love

Please lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside, where I hide with my loneliness
I don't care what they say, I won't stay
In a world without love

Birds sing out of tune
And rain clouds hide the moon
I'm ok, here I stay with my loneliness
I don't care what they say, I won't stay
In a world without love

So I wait, and in a while
I will see my true love smile
She may come, I know not when
When she does, I'll lose
So baby until then

Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside, where I hide with my loneliness
I don't care what they say, I won't stay
In a world without love

(Please lock me away)
(And don't allow the day)
(Here inside, where I hide with my loneliness)
I don't care what they say, I won't stay
In a world without love

So I wait, and in a while
I will see my true love smile
She may come, I know not when
When she does, I'll lose
So baby until then

Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside, where I hide with my loneliness
I don't care what they say, I won't stay
In a world without love

I don't care what they say, I won't stay
In a world without love (forget him)


3.Alone Again, Naturally

To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down, reality came around
And without so much, as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God and His mercy
Who if He really does exist
Why does He desert me?
In my hour of need I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally

Seems to me that there are more hearts
Broken in the world that can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do, what do we do?


4.Hear Me Cry

Hear Me Cry
CAGNET


You couldn't say
needed someone new
You actually thought
deep inside I knew

Can you tell me How can you say
Why this should suffice
You passed me by
and your heart as cold as ice
(You passed me by)

Did you see me cry
(Did you ask yourself why)
Did you see me cry
(Did you ask yourself how)
Can you hear me cry
(Did you ask yourself)
Will we ever grow apart

You, you couldn't say
needed someone new
You actually thought
deep inside I knew

I wonder where we will go
Will we be the same (You passed me by)
I laugh inside I think of you
and the love we made (You passed me by)

Tell me why this should suffice
I hold you through the night
Now will I let it go
Soon I'll let it go

Can you hear me cry
(Will you ask yourself why)
Can you hear me cry
(Will you ask yourself how)
Can you hear me cry
(Will you ask yourself)
Will we ever grow apart

You, I'll stand by your side
I'll be there for you (You passed me by)
You, I'll stand by your side
Please just do it right (You passed me by)

You, I'll stand by your side
I'll be there for you


5.It's In His Kiss The Shoop Shoop Song

It's In His Kiss (The Shoop Shoop Song)

written by Rudy Clark

Does he love me
I wanna know
How can I tell if he loves me so?

(Is it in his eyes?) Oh no,
You'll be deceived
(Is it in his eyes?) Oh no,
He'll make believe
If you wanna know
If he loves you so
It's in his kiss

(Or is it in his face?) Oh no
It's just his charm
(In his warm embrace?) Oh no
That's just his arms
If you wanna know
If he loves you so
It's in his kiss

Kiss him and squeeze him tight
And find out what you wanna know
If it's love if it really is
It's there in his kiss

(About the way he acts?) Oh no
That's not the way
And you're not listening
To all that I say
If you wanna know
If he loves you so
It's in his kiss


6.Just Ask The Lonely

Just Ask The Lonely

written by William Stevenson Ivy Jo Hunter

Just ask the lonely
When you feel
That you can make it all alone
Remember no one is big enough
To go it all alone

Just ask the lonely
They know the hurting pain
Of losing the love
You can never regain
Just ask the lonely

The young and foolish
Who laugh at love and slowly run away
Confident and sure that fate
Will bring another love their way

But ask the lonely
How vainly a heart can yearn
For losing a love
That will never return
Just ask the lonely
Just ask the lonely
Just ask the lonely

They'll tell you a story of sadness
A story too hard to believe
They'll tell you
The loneliest one is me

Just ask the lonely
Just ask the lonely
Just ask the lonely
Ask me, I'm the loneliest of all


7.Real, Coolio, Busta Rhymes, Ll Cool J, Method Man

B-Real, Coolio, Busta Rhymes, LL Cool J, Method Man--Hit 'em
High (The Monstar's Anthem)

(Intro)
Greetings, earthlings
We have now taken over your radioooo.....

(B-Real)

Goin' straight through the hole
You ain't got no game
I'm breakin' ya out the frame
Coming through like a train
Looking to take over the world is my goal
With my unstoppable crew takin' all control
You can't get none of this, we're runnin' this
Well taker, earth shaker, 3 point gunnin' this
Get out the lane, i'm comin' through
And if you don't wanna move then i'm comin' right through you

(Coolio)

It's like inch by inch and step by step
I'm closing in on your position and destruction is my mission
Though eight is not enough, your whole squad better duck
It's like switch when I bust
Now you're whole crew is dust
Comin' through my area, i'ma have to bury ya
The real scream team on your scream scene
It's like showdown on the range

Go tell me who wanna tangle with the
ghetto witch-doctor neighborhood superhero?

Chorus:

(B-Real)
We want it all (want it all!)
Unstoppable, we run the floor (run the floor!)
You can't take none of this hardcore (hardcore!)
In the game we take you to war (war!)
You ain't seen nothin' like this before
(all)
If I hit 'em high, hit 'em high, hit 'em high
And you hit 'em low, hit 'em low, hit 'em low
If I hit 'em high, hit 'em high, hit 'em high
And you hit 'em low, hit 'em low, hit 'em low

(Method Man)

Insane like a runaway train i'm in your lane
Like it's only 3 seconds to score to win the game
Came to bring the ultimate pain upon the brain
Untamed, you won't like it when I change
And you are type strange
Make room, manaical monster in the game
And I got my eye on you
Deadshot aim, as free throws keep comin' down like rain
You feelin' me, I'm feelin' you
The Monstar again, i'm tellin' you
Pass me the rock, now i'm headed to the basket
Get up out my way is what you better do
My tactics is unsportsmanlike conduct
You better ask it
Don't get no better than this, you catch my drift?
You get stripped by ballhandlers ruled by Swackhammer
Danger, you're dealin' with offical hoop-bangers
With hang time like a coat hanger
Jump, with thunderous -degree type dunks
What up doc? The Monstar funk

(LL Cool J)

Lightning strikes and the court lights get dim
Supreme competition is about to begin
Above the rim, finessin' and moves is animated
Once I get to ballin', I can't be deflated
I'm rugged raw, my Monstars is gettin' money
When clicks get to buggin', I'm snatchin' up their bunnies
(Uhh!)
Every step I take shakes the ground
I'll make you break your ankles, son, shakes you down
This is my planet, I'm bout business
The best that ever done it, can I get a witness? (Uhhh!)
Cumulus clouds bring darkness up above
You in it for the money?
Or in it for the love, M.J.?
ways to make a pay
Loungin' in the mothership back around my way (Uhh!)
I'm light years old
If the refs get political, dribble like Bob Dole
Am I gettin' lyrical?
Daddy, I think so
Monstar droppin' flavor fluid so drink slow

Chorus

(Busta Rhymes)

Yo, god bless!!
Pick up your chest
Here's an example of how I can stress your full court press
With finesse, I bench-press your stress whenever you test
We're speed ballin', on the fastbreak just like the pony express
I'm gonna mingle in your face and take the lid off
Just use your head and forfeit the game
You and your team just need to back off!!
Get off my block, gimmie the ball, I said it's my rock!!
I'm startin' a line-up by gettin' y'all to bring the livestock
Throw all your money in the pot
And make sure you bet all your money on my bank shot
When we come right through tell me what you really gonna do?
We'll leave your team name in shame and take your talent from
you
While you abandon your ship, we take your championship
With nothing left for you to see except the instant replay clip
Money spending, goal tending, stay-bending teams like crash cars
Who do they be?
They be the Monstars!!!!!!

Chorus


8.Something Good

Something Good

Maria:
Perhaps I had a wicked childhood
Perhaps I had a miserable youth
But somwhere in my wicked, miserable past
There must have been a moment of truth

For here you are, standing there, loving me
Whether or not you should
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good

Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good

Captain:
For here you are, standing there, loving me
Whether or not you should

Maria:
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good

Maria and the Captain:
Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could

Maria:
So somewhere in my youth
Captain:
Or childhood
Maria:
I must have done something . . .
Maria and the Captain:
Something good


9.Wishing (if I Had A Photograph Of You)

WISHING (IF I HAD A PHOTOGRAPH OF YOU)
A Flock of Seagulls

It's not the way you look
It's not the way that you smile
Although there's something to them
It's not the way you have your hair
It's not that certain style
It could be that with you

If I had a photograph of you
It's something to remind me
I wouldn't spend my life just wishing

It's not the make-up
And it's not the way that you dance
It's not the evening sky
It's more the way your eyes
Are laughing as they glance
Across the great divide

If I had a photograph of you
It's something to remind me
I wouldn't spend my life just wishing

It's not the things you say
It's not the things you do
It must be something more
And if I feel this way for so long
Tell me is it all for nothing
Just don't walk out the door

If I had a photograph of you
It's something to remind me
I wouldn't spend my life just wishing


10.This Christmas

Lyricist:Donny Hathaway, Nadine Mckinnor

Hang all the mistletoe
I'm gonna get to know you better this Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's gonna be together this Christmas

The fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me, yeah

Hang all the mistletoe
I'm gonna get to know you better this Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's gonna be this Christmas

The fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me, yeah

Presents and cards are here
My world is filled with cheer and you, this Christmas
Lights twinkle all around
But your eyes outshine the town, this Christmas

The fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me, yeah

The fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me, yeah


11.Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Lyricist:Ralph Blane, Hugh Martin

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us, once more

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough

And have yourself a merry little Christmas now


12.Home Again

Lyricist:Carole King

Sometimes I wonder
If I'm ever gonna make it home again
It's so far and out of sight

I really need someone to talk to
And nobody else
Knows how to comfort me tonight

Snow is cold, rain is wet
Chills my soul right to the marrow

I won't be happy till I see you alone again
Till I'm home again and feelin' right

Snow is cold, rain is wet
Chills my soul right to the marrow

I won't be happy till I see you alone again
Till I'm home again and feelin' right
I wanna be home again and feelin' right


13.Can We Still Be Friends?

Lyricist:Todd Rundgren

We can't play this game anymore
But can we still be friends?
Things just can't go on like before
But can we still be friends?

We had something to learn
Now it's time for the wheel to turn
Grains of sand, one by one
Before you know it's all gone

Let's admit we made a mistake
But can we still be friends?
Heartbreak's never easy to take
But can we still be friends?

It's a strange, sad affair
Sometimes it seems like we just don't care
Don't waste time feeling hurt
We've been through hell together

We can't play this game anymore
But can we still be friends?
Things just can't go on like before
But can we still be friends?

We awoke from our dreams
Things are not always what they seems
Memories linger on
It's not as sweet as roses

Can we still be friends?
Can we still be friends?
Can we still be friends?
Can we still be friends?


14.This Old Heart Of Mine (Is Weak For You)

Lyricist:Lamont Dozier, Brian Holland, Eddie Holland, Sylvia Moy

Oh, this old heart of mine, been broke a thousand times
Each time you break away, I feel you're gonna stay
Lonely nights that come, memories that flow
Bringing you back again, hurting me more and more

Maybe it's my mistake to show this love I feel inside
'Cause each day that passes by
You got me, never knowing if I'm coming or going
But I, I love you

This old heart, darling, weeps for you
(Darling)
I love you, yes, I do
(Yes, I do)

These old arms of mine miss having you around
Makes these tears inside start falling down
Well, always with half a kiss, you remind me of what I miss
So I try to control myself like I'm gonna start fainting

'Cause my heart stops beating
'Cause I, I love you
This old heart, darling, weeps for you
(Weeps for you)
I love you, yes, I do
(Yes, I do)

Oh, I try to hide my hurt inside
This old heart of mine always makes me cry
The way you treat me leaves me incomplete
You're in for the day, gone for the week, now

But if you leave me a hundred times
A hundred times I'll take you back
I'm yours whenever you want me
I'm not too proud to shout it, to tell the world about it

'Cause I, I love you
This old heart, darling, weeps for you
(Darling)
I love you

This old heart, darling, weeps for you
(Weeps for you)
I love you, this old heart, darling, weeps for you
(Darling)

I love you, yes, I do
(Yes, I do)


15.The Sunset Marquis

Lyricist:Vonda Shepard

There's a place where we hung out
At the Sunset Marquis
And I miss the way your hand felt
Resting on my knee
It was one of the few times
I didn't want to change a thing

And the way the light hit your face just right
Was like a movie, a movie
And the way you laughed
Well, it warmed the draft
Running through me, through me
And I wanna go back to try and unwind

A couple is snapping at each other
Like dirty old rubber bands
While a waitress in a cat suit
Is starting to expand
I draw a line around your finger
Like a wedding band

Then I scribble down some poetry
On a book of matches
'Cause I realize I am sitting with
One of the finest catches
And suddenly in the background it was you

Playing on that radio
Burning on that stereo
In the bar at The Sunset Marquis

There was a party in my head
Where did everybody go?
One night in the blue light
I sat there all alone
And I tried to remember
The smell of your coat

Then I touched my hand and
I whispered into my own ear, my own ear
In the background something familiar
Something was so clear, so clear
And I realized that it was me

Playing on that radio
Burning on that stereo
In the bar at The Sunset Marquis singing 'bout
All the laughs we once had, darling
Oh, the way it felt to me
In the bar at The Sunset Marquis


16.Searching My Soul

Lyricist:Paul Gordon, Vonda Shepard

I've been down this road
Walking the line that's painted by pride
And I have made mistakes in my life
That I just can't hide

But I believe I'm ready
For what love has to bring
I've got myself together
Now I'm ready to sing

I've been searching my soul tonight
I know there's so much more to life
Now I know I can shine a light
To find my way back home

Baby, yeah, oh, yeah


17.Don't Think Twice, It's All Right

Lyricist:Bob Dylan

lt ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter, anyhow
And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now

When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason, I'm traveling on
Don't think twice, it's all right

It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
And it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road

Still I wish there was something you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin' anyway
Don't think twice, it's all right

It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
Like you never did before
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
I can't hear you any more

I'm a thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul
Don't think twice, it's all right

I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word, gal
So I'll just say, fare thee well

I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
Don't think twice, it's all right


18.Rain Or Shine

Lyricist:Mitchell Froom, Vonda Shepard

Every time you go
This much I know
That it didn't mean nothing
'Cause I've closed the back door

Every night apart
You were in my heart
So don't you worry
'Cause I'm ready for this love to restart

There is a reason
We came together
Rain or shine
I'll love you all my life

We'll weather the seasons
We'll laugh and cry
Rain or shine
I'm yours, you're mine
I'll love you all my life

When I feel afraid
In my own parade
That marches through me
And I don't recognize a single face

You drew a line in the sand
Then you took my hand
And we crossed over
Now I finally understand that

There is a reason
We came together
Rain or shine
I'll love you all my life

We'll weather the seasons
We'll laugh and cry
Rain or shine
I'm yours, you're mine
I'll love you all my life


19.Lose My Way

Lyricist:Vonda Shepard

I wanna lose my way
And my sense of direction
Wanna lose my bearings
And my point of reference

Wanna go where everything
Don't remind me of our happiness
That we sacrificed
For some unknown bliss

I wanna lose my place
In this world I've created
To know who I am
It's so overrated

Wanna break away
Until my longing has faded
Wanna change my fate

Wanna dream again
Go out dancing
I wanna laugh again
Till I lose my mind

Heavy heart, when will you fall?
Again from the weight of this longing
Inside of me, I believe

I thought I found, found me a home
But all I want is to run away
Run from my life tonight

I wanna lose my way
And my sense of direction
Wanna lose my bearings
And my point of reference


20.For Once In My Life

Lyricist:Ron Miller, Orlando Murden

For once in my life, I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once unafraid, I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew, someone warm like you
When make my dreams come true

For once in my life, I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once I have something what I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore

For once I can say, this is mine, you can't take it
As long as I known I have love I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me

For once I can say, this is mine, you can't take it
As long as I known I have love I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me


21.Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

Lyricist:Sammy Cahn, Jule Styne

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss good night
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

Oh, the fire is slowly dying
And my dear, we're still goodbyeing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow


22.Chinatown

Lyricist:Val Mccallum, Vonda Shepard

Got a room about 20 feet wide
There's a blue light bulb
Hanging from the sky
Threw a mattress on the floor where we can hide

Hold my hand to the subway door
I can make us invisible
All the way to Chinatown

Steam is rising from the street below
Neon sign like a carnival
You bring the color to a grey rainbow

My guitar and a bottle of the red
So much pain that I want to forget
On our way to Chinatown

Take you over to my side of town
Show you how the real world gets down
Trouble, I thought I could hold you down
All the way to Chinatown

Sheets of rain banging on the window
Turning into a blanket of snow
Getting good of pulling over the wool

Miles away there'Â s another world
I know I am the luckiest girl
Found my heart in Chinatown

Take you over to my side of town
Show you how the real world gets down
Trouble, I thought I could hold you down
All the way to Chinatown


23.Silver Bells

Lyricist:Raymond B Evans, Jay Livingston

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas

Hear the snow crunch, see the kids rush
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle you hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas

Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
Very soon it will be Christmas day


24.Rainy Days

Lyricist:Bobby Harden

We were walking above
Pretending to be in love
In phases I watched you float away

I was under the gun
Trying to have some fun
In phases I watched you slip away

Remember all these rainy says
We saved them up but tomorrow never came
And now these rainy days are clouding up
Even, even the clearest of days

We were sticking it out
Getting used to the doubt
In phases you watched me drift away

Now I'm taking a train
Shooting through the rain
Amazed that I'm alone here
Once again

Remember all these rainy days
We saved them up but tomorrow never came
And now these rainy days are clouding up
Even, even the clearest of days, yeah

I watched you float away

Remember all these rainy days
We saved them up but tomorrow never came
And now these rainy days are clouding up
Even the clearest of days

These rainy days
We saved them up but tomorrow never came
And now these rainy days are clouding up
Even, even the clearest of days

And now these rainy days are clouding up
Even, even the clearest of days


25.Baby, Don't You Break My Heart Slow (With Emily Saliers)

Lyricist:James Newton-howard, Vonda Shepard

I like the way you wanted me
Every night for so long baby
And I like the way you needed me
Every time things got rocky

I was believing in you
Was I mistaken do you say
Do you say what you mean?
I want our love to last forever

But I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow

I like the way you'd hold me
Every night for so long baby
I like the way you'd say my name
In the middle of the night while you were sleeping

I was believing in you
Was I mistaken do you mean
Do you mean what you say?
When you say our love could last forever

But I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow, no

You would run around and lead me on forever
While I wait at home still thinkin', we're together
I wanted our love to last forever
Oh yeah

I was believing in you
I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow, no

Don't love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow
Baby don't you break my heart slow


26.What Are You Doing New Year's Eve

Lyricist:Frank Loesser

Maybe it's much too early in the game
Ooh, but I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's eve?

Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year
New Year's Eve

Maybe, I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of the thousand invitations
You received

Ooh, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's Eve?

Maybe, I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of the thousand invitations
You received

Ooh, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's Eve?


27.7 Days

Lyricist:Vonda Shepard

I'm gonna discontinue him like a line
That's breaking, breaking
Our love seemed to crash like a wave
That's taking, taking down everything

7 days, that's all it's been
Tomorrow will be 8
Feel like I'm counting
The raindrops in a hurricane

In this perfect place
I believe

Swimming through the days
While the world goes crazy
No wonder the state I'm in, am I wrong
To wanna dream myself into oblivion, sweet oblivion?

7 days, that's all it's been
Tomorrow will be 8
Feel like I'm counting
The raindrops in a hurricane

In this perfect place
I believe that there is someone for me
In this perfect place
I believe that there is someone for me

In this perfect place
I believe


28.Vinvent (Starry Starry Night)

Lyricist:Don Mclean

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul

Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land

Now I understand what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue

Colors changing hue
Morning field of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand

Now I understand what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night

You took your life, as lovers often do
But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you

Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless head on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget

Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in the ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will


29.My Whole World

Lyricist:Vonda Shepard

My whole world is built on this
To dream about your love
And to live inside your kiss
Well, how can I manage to live like this?

Is my fate how finally turning
My favorite kind of yearning
Oh, don't it always go to show

My whole world is built on this
A philosophy of how to stay
In a state of bliss
How can I manage to live like this?

I was born in '63 with a peace sign on my knee
I said, 'Mama, I was born to sing'
And I rocked till the dawn with my baby clothes on
I said, 'Mama, tell me what to think'

I love you in a different way
Well, you let me be myself
And I love it that way
Freedom, freedom has a new meaning, hey, hey, hey

My whole world comes down to this
To live in inspiration
Without checking off a list
Can anybody manage to live like this?

Well, music is my life and love, it is my drive
On my shoulders I don't feel no weight
Now I'm dreaming again and exaggerating
Can you save me long enough to behave?

I love you in a different way
Well, you let me myself
And I love it this way
Freedom, freedom has a new meaning, hey, hey, hey

I love you in a different way
Well, you let me be myself
And I love it this way
Freedom, freedom has a new meaning, hey, hey, hey


30.Will You Marry Me?

Lyricist:M Landau, V Shepard

I guess you sunk in, oh yeah you made it in
Now I'm fumbling somewhere deep within
Will I raise my glass or will you kick my ass?
Or will we fall down laughing, laughing?

I know love is pain, I know your life's insane
I want you anyway, I'll probably complain
Why would I subject myself to this kind of disaster?
A respectable ball and chain is all you're really after

But I'm tumbling inside this reeling feeling coming over me
Will you ever decide? So unrevealing, will you marry me?

Strange behavior from my savior
You yank me up and down just like a yo-yo
Do you love me? You're an anomaly
Or maybe you are just unbelievably ordinary

Why would I subject myself to this kind of disaster?
A respectable ball and chain is all you're really after

But I'm tumbling inside this reeling feeling coming over me
Will you ever decide? So unrevealing, will you marry me?
I'm tumbling inside, I'm happiest when you are next to me
But I'm still on the outside am I obsessed or will you marry me?


31.What Becomes Of The Broken Hhearted

Lyricist:James Anthony Dean, Paul Riser, William Weatherspoon

As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
Love's happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion

What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know, I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind, maybe

The fruits of love grow all around
But for me they come tumbling down
Everyday heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer

I walk in shadows searching for light
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight
Hoping and praying or someone to care
Always moving and going nowhere

What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know, I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind, baby

I'm searching though I don't succeed
But someone look, there's a growing need
Oh he is lost, there's no place for beginning
All that's left is an unhappy ending

Now what becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know, I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind

I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care
I'll be looking every day

I know, I'm gonna find a way
Nothing's gonna stop me now
I will find a way somehow


32.Please Come Home For Christmas

Lyricist:Charles Brown, Gene Redd

Bells will be ringing the glad, glad news
Oh, what a Christmas to end the blues
My baby's gone, I have no friends
To wish me greetings, ooh, once again

Choirs will be singing 'Silent Night'
Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas, by New Year's night

Friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
This is Christmas, yeah, Christmas my dear
The time of year to be with the one you love

So won't you tell me you'll never more roam
Christmas and New Years will find you home
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas by New Year's night

There'll be no more sorrow no grief and pain
And I'll be happy, happy once again


33.Let It Snow

Lyricist:Sammy Cahn, Jule Styne

The snowman in the yard is frozen hard
He's a sorry sight to see
If he had a brain, he'd complain

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we know place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'd hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying
And my dear we're still goodbyeing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow


34.Promising Grey Day

Lyricist:Vonda Shepard

Eighteen and flying
Like every great American
Slept until sundown
And baby your were wild enough fro me

Rolled the night over
In my '72 Nova
Mexican rain on my
Tijuana vinyl beer stain

Watching the sunrise
Lightening in your lazy eyes
And all this time you never let me down

I had a dream
That made me move to New York City
'Cause I wasn't about to
About to let this magic slip away

But he did anyway
He was kind of illusive that way
Like clouds on a promising grey day

The beauty of my life
A moment that's long gone
But so much a part of me
Oh, how I wish it weren't history

I wish it were my future
Rolling, rolling my way
Like clouds on a promising grey day


35.To Sir with Love - Al Green, Vonda Shepard

Lyricist:Don Black, R Granier, Marc London

The time has come for closing books
And long last looks must end
And as I leave, I know that I am leaving my best friend
A friend who taught me right from wrong
And weak from strong that's a lot to learn
What, what can I give you in return?

If you wanted the moon
I would try to make a start
But I, would rather let me give my heart
To you, with love

Those schoolgirl days of telling tales
And biting nails are gone, yeah
But in my mind, I know that they live
On and on and on and on

But how do you thank someone
Who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
Well, it's not easy
But I'll try

If you wanted the sky
I would write across the sky in letters
That would soar a thousand feet high to you, with love
Those awkward years have hurried by

Why did they fly, fly away
Why is it Sir children, grow up to be people one day?
What takes the place of climbing trees
And dirty knees in the world outside?
What, what is there that I can buy?

If you wanted the world
I'd surround it with a wall I'd scrawl
These words with letters ten feet tall
To you, with love


36.Reason To Believe

Lyricist:Tim Hardin

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe

Someone like you makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
Never think about myself

If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way just to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe

Someone like you makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
Never think about myself


37.River

Lyricist:Cameron Stone, De Lory Donna Eve, Paul Gordon

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace

Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green

I'm going to make a lot of money
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

Oh, I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river
I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me
He put me at ease
Lord, he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees

I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad

Now I've gone and lost the best, baby
That I ever had
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

Oh, I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river
I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace

I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
