I've been waiting to meet you
I know you're out there somewhere Are you waiting to meet me too? Every morning I start out Maybe today Every night turn my heart out Maybe tomorrow When I wander in dreamtime I feel you come closer Tell me is it the same with you? You stand on a cliff overlooking the ocean Below on the beach I am caught in slow motion And there we're face to face Together again for the first time Face to face You're the one I can love for a lifetime Face to face I can see that it might take a while Face to face To escape from the curve of your smile All alone in a desert I follow some footprints Only hoping they lead to you Always slightly behind you Just out of frame In a hurry to find you Before the dream ends There's confusion and hardship But it never matters 'Cause I'm doing it all for you And I know as I search these wide open spaces You wait under a palm tree At the oasis Cancel loneliness Capture happiness Let that heartache and pain go Love feels awful good Like I knew it would All superlatives true Never better now It's forever now Finally over the rainbow I was blind I see Fate was kind to me When it cast me with you |

I fly solo
The Number One's my logo Birth of the Cool's my theme song For me the whole love scene's wrong I surrender Take me prisoner right away I'm content with you inside I surrender Learned my lesson the hard way: "You can run but you can't hide" Love is not to be denied My heart beats slow I kept it incognito It's only fools who feel love I don't believe in real love |

Here we are again
That fatal combination I guess it's opposite attraction It's gone too far again This crazy conversation It's like a nuclear reaction Lady your lip service has no rival Don't you know deception is uncouth? Didn't you read somewhere in the Bible Not to bend the truth? If you think your lip service will amaze me You're utterly confused - that much is clear 'Cause baby your lip service doesn't faze me It's so insincere It's only lip service It's nothin' but lip service There you are again Unable to conceal it That hourglass configuration It's gone too far again Believe me, I can feel it I can't resist that old temptation Lady your lip service can be vicious Don't you know deception is uncouth? However your lips look so delicious While they bend the truth Give me some lip service, just attack me I know I have asked you to be real But sometimes your lip service is exactly What I want to feel Tired of of truces Eloquence is useless Eighty-six it 'Cause all this talk won't fix it |

Lovers from Shakespeare come to mind
The "parting is such sweet" "Wherefore art thou" kind Shattered illusions, sad conclusions When I think of us Love called the shots and we believed We gave new meaning to the word "naive" Can't comprehend the logic of love When I think of us How it exploded I don't know Right out of nowhere We ran out of mistletoe Still I remember only good times When I think of us We were young and our hearts were broken when love was lost The pain we concealed Somehow time has healed We tried hard but I Guess we failed the test Does it matter why? Just remember I Hope you're happy I Wish you all the best Who could predict the end of spring? We were in love and love was everything Promises broken, cruel words spoken When I think of us How it exploded I can't say Right out of nowhere The rain washed it all away Still I remember only good times When I think of us We were young and our hearts were broken when love was lost |

Keep believing you soon will earn your turn to flash in the pan It's deceiving' cause nothing kills like this metropolis can Everywhere there's blind ambition Dog eat dog and screw you You do unto others and they do unto you Everyday you fight taxicabs and traffic, permanent frowns Lay awake at night wondering if you hear burglary sounds Think it's time to make my exit Kiss all this goodbye and Catch the next flight south connecting to my island life Look at me I'm a refugee from the island life I belong where the shade is palm and the mango's ripe I'll do all my swinging in some hammock by a turquoise sea For free Guess it must be clear I do not belong in this cityscape I am not from here and I do intend to make my escape Take me back to waterfalls in volcanic canyons Where coconuts and orchids are my sole companions Look at me I'm a refugee from the island life I belong where the shade is palm and the mango's ripe How inviting it would make always killing time if you Came too Can't you see we're just refugees from the island life We belong where the shade is palm and the mango's ripe We'll do all our swinging in some hammock by a turquoise sea For free |

I was just a stand-in
Someone love abandoned - not the leading man But my heart yelled "Action" What does "fall in love" mean? We rehearsed the Love Scene unaware of this Till we tried The Kiss and Now... now you're in my dreams Love was such a mystery Love was ancient history - pleasure chased with pain Till you whispered my name In the soundstage moonlight We could not say goodnight - unaccustomed to Happiness so new and Now... now you're in my dreams Now the close-up me and you And every old cliche rings true The Samba begins Fate to the winds First it smolders then it burns, you Pass the point of no return, do Lovers stay in love by learning How to leave the world at the door and live Live inside their dreams? |

By day
He's a grease monkey it's true A slave Fix your transmission like new Change oil Rotate your tires of course He toils Under the Flying Red Horse And at six he rolls Down his sleeves Turns his collar up When the boss man leaves Close up the shop Puts away his tools Gives the last car keys To the gas pump fools Then he's home at last No more goodwrench scene And he scrubs his hands Till they're surgeon clean Takes a long hot shower Some cologne and then The change is complete He's himself again At night he's Doctor Sax He's Mister Tenor Virtuoso He plays to rhythm tracks on tape No one like Doctor Sax Not even Trane or Bird could blow so The girls have heart attacks, they say (He'll put it all on wax one day) Some day He will live just in his mind Some way Leave all his misery behind His horn He will blow breaking the curse Reborn Under the Flying Red Horse |

No one here
Venus and Mars And a skyful of stars It's been a slo-mo year A few stolen kisses And several near misses I wait (wish my mission was clearer) For the cherub's arrow Hesitate (one last look in the mirror) My lappels are narrow Down the stairs and hit the street The bravado's just pretend though And the chic spot where we met Is called Innuendo You and I Birds of a feather We ought to know better We're cool and shy Love is outrageous But highly contagious We wait (while our salads are dressing) For the cherub's arrow You look great (cappuccino compressing) To Ravel's Bolero It would surely be a shame If the evening had to end though We're both masters of the game Known as Innouendo If you believe in love Prepare for stormy weather Guess I should heed my own advice I can't believe that love Would bring us back together 'Cause lighting never strikes the same place twice Candlelight And saying "I've missed you" Confuses the issue This summer night The cabdriver chuckles We smell honeysuckle Too late (guess the poison got stronger) It's the cherub's arrow We can't wait (to make love any longer) Guess it's now or never And this happiness we feel As we move to the crescendo Makes the dialogue all real Not just innuendo No more innuendo |
