Whenever I see your smiling face I have to smile myself Because I love you, yes I do And when you give me that pretty little pout It turns me inside out There's something about you, baby I don't know Isn't it amazing a man like me Can feel this way Tell me how much longer If it grows stronger every day Oh, how much longer Thought I was in love a couple of times before With the girl next door But that was long before I met you Now I'm sure that I won't forget you And I thank my lucky stars That you are who you are And not just another lovely lady Sent down to break my heart Isn't it amazing a man like me Can feel this way Tell me how much longer If it grows stronger every day, yeah No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today Whenever I see you smile at me No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today Whenever I see your smiling face my way (repeat to end |

Listen to me and I'll sing you a song and the time will go by till you never know where it's gone. Talk to me and I'll tell you my life story. Walk with me and I'll tell you my dreams of glory. There we are walking hand in hand, somewhere on the sand at the end of the land and the edge of the shining sea. Drifting through time and space on the face of a little blue ball falling around the sun. One in a million, billion twinkling lights shining out for no one in the middle of the night. Here we are, sparks in the darkness, speaking of our love burning down forever and forever. Oh, I don't know if I told you, but you hold my heart in your hand. And I found out something about you, baby, without you. I'm a lonely man. So though I never say that I love you, I love you, darling I do, Carly, I do love you. And though we are as nothing to the stars that shine above, you are my universe, you are my love. Here we are, like children forever, taking care of one another while the world goes on without us, all around us. |

That limousine in which you made the scene suits you to a 'T' if all you want to be is somebody that don't never walk. That big chateau where you wanna go in the south of France, gonna end our big romance. Don't you do it. Honey, don't leave L. A., that Riviera is so far away. Begging you s'il vous plait, they don't know nothing down in St. Tropez. Baby don't leave L. A. I heard it said that you had it made with you movie star, but, oh, how right you are. If that's really 'bout the best you can do, you moved my soul so I played the role of your back door man. Yes and now I can't really complain cause I love you. Honey, don't leave L. A., that Riviera is so far away. Begging you sil vous plait, they don't know nothing down in St. Tropez. Baby don't leave L. A. |

When I feel as though my love is sinking down, the sun doesn't want to shine. When it feels like she won't face another day, life is unkind, she's frozen in time. And here comes another grey morning. A not so good morning after all. She says "well, what am I to do today with too much time and so much sorrow." She hears the baby waking up downstairs. She hears the foghorn calling out across the sound. Repetition in the morning air is just too much to bear, and no one seems to care. If another day goes creeping by empty and ashamed, like an old unwanted memory that no one will claim. The clouds with their heads on the ground, she's gonna have to come down. She said "move me, move me, I'm locked up inside." Well, I didn't understand her though God knows I tried. She said "make me angry but just make me cry. But no more grey morning, I think I'd rather die." |

Now I'm just a bartender, and I don't like my work, but I don't mind the money at all. I see lots of sad faces and lots of bad cases of folks with their backs to the wall. But I need four walls around me to hold my life, to keep me from going astray, and a honky-tonk angel to hold me tight to keep me from slipping away. I can light up your smokes, I can laugh at your jokes, I can watch you fall down on your knees. I can close down this bar, I can gas up my car, I can pack up and mail in my key. But I need four walls around me to hold my life, to keep me from going astray, and a honky-tonk angel to hold me tight to keep me from slipping away. Now, the smoke fills the air in this honky-tonk bar and I'm thinking 'bout where I'd rather be. But I burned all my bridges, I sank all my ships and I'm stranded at the edge of the sea. But I need four walls around me to hold my life, to keep me from going astray, and a honky-tonk angel to hold me tight to keep me from slipping away. |

The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time Any fool can do it There ain't nothing to it Nobody knows how we got to The top of the hill But since we're on our way down We might as well enjoy the ride The secret of love is in opening up your heart It's okay to feel afraid But don't let that stand in your way 'Cause anyone knows that love is the only road And since we're only here for a while Might as well show some style Give us a smile Isn't it a lovely ride Sliding down Gliding down Try not to try too hard It's just a lovely ride Now the thing about time is that time Isn't really real It's just your point of view How does it feel for you Einstein said he could never understand it all Planets spinning through space The smile upon your face Welcome to the human race Some kind of lovely ride I'll be sliding down I'll be gliding down Try not to try too hard It's just a lovely ride Isn't it a lovely ride Sliding down Gliding down Try not to try too hard It's just a lovely ride Now the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time |

Got the one room suite in the downtown motel, got a lovely view. Classic shot of the parking lot, an off ramp of route 72. Half flat six pack of lukewarm beer, so lay down by my side. Like to whisper sweet nothings in my filthy ear till I'm satisfied. Baby-bootie, juicy-fruity, truck-stop cutie, roadside-beauty, I'm in love with you. Hope it don't last too long. You got the mackerel eyes, brought the side of fries. You got me hypnotized, I'm in love again. Now baby when I told you that I love you, I was only telling a lie. I'll be long gone come the crack of dawn and I believe the word is good-bye, bye baby, bye, bye. I was only telling a lie, there ain't no need to act like I shot your dog, no. I was only telling a lie, lie, lie, lie, lie. |

Need a reason to be here, hoping to find it tonight. Walking alone on Broadway, watching the people, watching the town go down. Broadway's a river to me, fat fish in the big city sea, taxi cabs, limousines, submarines. Got my mind on a sweet dream, keeping an eye on this street scene. Cause I'm open for love in the middle of town tonight. Had my fill of self-pity, I brought all my blues to the city. Guess I'm pressing my luck in the middle of town tonight. See me waiting on you to smile back on me, child. It looks like tomorrow, it seems like the end of a dream. Dawning on me on Broadway in the morning light, it's a dream. And I'm just a fool looking for love on Broadway. |

Oh, end this day, show me the ocean. When shall I see the sea? May this day set me in emotion, I ought to be on my way. We were there, we were sailing on the Terra Nova. Sailing for the setting sun, sailing for the new horizon. May this day show me an ocean, I ought to be on my way. Ought to be on my way right now. Stepping on the boat with a lump in my throat, on my way right now. I got a letter from a dear friend of mine, the story of a spiritual awakening. She spoke of her love returning in kind, she let me know that she'd be waiting. And I should be on my way by now. Walking across the floor, reaching for the door, on my way by now. But here I sit, country fool that I am, my elbow on my knee and my chin in my hand. My mind in the gutter and my eye on the street, holed up in a cave of concrete. And I ought to be on my way right now. Packing my things while the telephone rings, on my way right now. I miss my lovely mother and I love my lonely father. I know I owe my brothers one thing and another, I hear my sister singing. And I ought to be on my way right now. Moving across the land with my heart in my hand, on my way by now, ought to be on my way by now. Oh, end this day, set me in motion. Ought to be on my way. Out of the west of Lambert's Cove, there's a sail out in the sun. And I'm on board though very small, I've come home to stop yearning. Burn off the haze around the shore, turn off the crazy way I feel. I'll stay away from you no more, I've come home to stop yearning. |

Chorus) Damn this traffic jam How I hate to be late It hurts my motor to go so slow Damn this traffic jam Time I get home my supper'll be cold Damn this traffic jam Well I left my job about 5 o'clock It took fifteen minutes go three blocks Just in time to stand in line With a freeway looking like a parking lot - Chorus - Now I almost had a heart attack Looking in my rear view mirror I saw myself the next car back Looking in the rear view mirror 'Bout to have a heart attack I said - Chorus - Now when I die I don't want no coffin I thought about it all too often Just strap me in behind the wheel And bury me with my automobile - Chorus - Damn... Now I used to think that I was cool Running around on fossil fuel Until I saw what I was doing Was driving down the road to ruin |

If I keep on talking now I'd only start repeating myself And all I can say Is I love you, i love you, i love you, I love you If i slip and tip my hat I'm certain to scare you away and what would I say I'd be hurtin' I'm certain I'd be uncool to let you know that you're the one A fool who jumped the gun 'Cause i've been advised by other guys you left behind Your goodbyes were somewhat unrefined If I play my role just right Then tonight could be my lucky night And you could be mine If i presented to you with a flower in the moonlight shiny and new where you couldn't say no tonight If I keep my heart out of sight |
