Stacey Kent - The Tender Trap (1999) by Stacey Kent (보컬) on maniadb.com

You see a pair of laughing eyes
And suddenly your sighing sighs
Youre thinking nothings wrong
You string along, boy, then snap!

Those eyes, those sighs,
They're part of the tender trap

Youre hand in hand beneath the trees
And soon theres music in the breeze
Youre acting kind of smart,
And then your heart just goes wap!

Those trees, that breeze,
They're part of the tender trap

Some starry night,
When her kisses make you tingle
Shell hold you tight,
And you'll hate yourself for being single

And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot, thats just a dot on the map

You're hooked, you're cooked,
You're caught in the tender trap

Some starry night,
When her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight,
And youll hate yourself for being single

And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot thats just a dot on the map

And then you wonder how it all came about
Its too late now theres no gettin out
You fell in love, and love is the tender trap

Comes a rain storm put rubbers on your feet
Comes a snow storm you can get a little heat
Comes love nothing can be done
Comes a fire then you know just what to do
Blow a tire you can buy another shoe
Comes love nothing can be done

Don't try hiding cause there isn't any use
You'll start sliding when your heart turns on the juice

Comes a headache you can lose it in a day
Comes a toothache see your dentist right away
Comes love nothing can be done

Comes a heat wave you can hurry to the shore
Comes a summons you can hide behind the door
Comes love nothing can be done
Comes the measles you can quarantine the room
Comes a mouse you can chase him with a broom
Comes love nothing can be done

That's all brother if you've ever been in love
That's all sister you know what I'm thinking of

Comes a nightmare you can always stay awake
Comes depression you might get another break
Comes love nothing can be done

In the still of the night
As I gaze through my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts are straights to you

In the still of the night
While the world is in slumber
Oh, the times without number
darling when I say to you

Do you love me as I love you?
Are you my life to be, my dreams come true?
Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight
Like the moon growing dim on the rim of the hill
in the chill, still of the night?

In the still of the night
While the world is in slumber
Oh, the times without number
Darling when I say to you

(instrumental)

In the still of the night
As I gaze through my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts are straights to you

In the still of the night
While the world is in slumber
Oh, the times without number
darling when I say to you

Do you love me as I love you?
Are you my life to be, my dreams come true?
Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight
Like the moon growing dim on the rim of the hill
in the chill, still of the night
Of the night
Of the night

Romance is a game for fools, I used to say,
A game I thought I'd never play
Romance is a game for fools, I said and grinned.
But you passed by and here am I
Throwing caution to the wind.

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
And so I come to you, my love, my heart above my head
Though I see the danger there,
If there's a chance for me then I don't care

Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know?
When we met I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in

(Instrumental)

Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know?
When we met I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in

East of the sun and west of the moon
We'll build a dream house of love dear
Near to the sun in the day
Near to the moon at night
We'll live in a heavenly way dear
Living and loving in pale moonlight

Just you and I, forever and a day
Love will not die; we'll keep it that way
Up above the stars we'll find a harmony of life to a lovely tune
East of the sun and west of the moon dear
East of the sun and west of the moon

(Instrumental)

East of the sun and west of the moon
We'll build a dream house of love dear
Near to the sun in the day
Near to the moon at night
We'll live in a heavenly way dear
Living and loving in pale moonlight

Just you and I, forever and a day
Love will not die; we'll keep it that way
Up above the stars we'll find a harmony of life to a lovely tune
East of the sun and west of the moon dear
East of the sun and west of the moon
West of the moon
Of the moon

The odds were a hundred to one against me
The world thought the heights were too high to climb
But people from Missouri never incensed me
Oh, I wasn't a bit concerned
For from hist'ry I had learned
How many, many times the worm had turnedThey all laughed at Christopher Columbus
When he said the world was round
They all laughed when Edison recorded sound
They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother
When they said that man could flyThey told Marconi
Wireless was a phony
It's the same old cry
They laughed at me wanting you
Said I was reaching for the moon
But oh, you came through
Now they'll have to change their tuneThey all said we never could be happy
They laughed at us and how!
But ho, ho, ho!
Who's got the last laugh now?They all laughed at Rockefeller Center
Now they're fighting to get in
They all laughed at Whitney and his cotton gin
They all laughed at Fulton and his steamboat
Hershey and his chocolate barFord and his Lizzie
Kept the laughers busy
That's how people are
They laughed at me wanting you
Said it would be, ";Hello, Goodbye.";
But oh, you came through
Now they're eating humble pieThey all said we'd never get together
Darling, let's take a bow
For ho, ho, ho!
Who's got the last laugh?
Hee, hee, hee!
Let's at the past laugh
Ha, ha, ha!
Who's got the last laugh now?";
