Love Story - Andy Williams
Where do I begin, To tell the story of how great a love can be, The sweet love story that is older than the sea, The simple truth about the love she brings to me. Where do I start.... With her first hello, She gave new meaning to this empty world of mine. They'll never be another love another time. She came into my life and made the living fine. She fills my heart. She fills my heart with very special things With angel songs and with wild imaginings She fills my soul with so much love, That any where I go I'm never lonely. With her around who could be lonely. I reach for her hand, it's always there. How long does it last, Can love be measured by the hours in a day, I have no answers now, but this much I can say, I know I'll need her until the stars all burn away And she'll be there. How long does it last, Can love be measured by the hours in a day, I have no answers now, but this much I can say, I know I'll need her until the stars all burn away And she'll be there.... |

I shared the golden sun with her,
In days that are no more. I used to love to run with her Along the sandy shore. She had a special prayer for me To help my world go right. Her hand was always there for me The coldest winter night. CHORUS: I hear the music from across the way, Across the bridges of my mind. I lift the misty shades of yesterday To catch the dreams I left behind. It was a joy to be with her, To watch the way she smiled. I guess I just felt free with her, So free and young and wild. I really came to love that girl; How much she'll never know. I need the nearness of that girl; I really miss her so. CHORUS: I hear the music from across the way, Across the bridges of my mind. I lift the misty shades of yesterday To catch the dreams I left behind. (Repeat) I hear the music from across the way, Across the bridges of my mind. I lift the misty shades of yesterday To catch the dreams I left behind. (Fade) |

The boys watch the girls while the girls watch the boys who watch the girls go by Eye to eye, they solemnly convene to make the scene Which is the name of the game, watch a guy watch a dame on any street in town Up and down and over and across, romance is boss Guys talk "girl talk", it happens everywhere Eyes watch girls walk with tender lovin' care It's keepin' track of the fact watching them watching back That makes the world go 'round "what's that sound?" each time you hear a loud collective sigh They're making music to watch girls by Guys talk "girl talk", it happens everywhere Eyes watch girls walk with tender lovin' care It's keepin' track of the fact watching them watching back That makes the world go 'round "what's that sound?" each time you hear a loud collective sigh They're making music to watch girls by The boys watch the girls while the girls watch the boys who watch the girls go by Eye to eye, they solemnly convene to make the scene La, la, la ,la |

Speak softly, love and hold me warm
against your heart I feel your words, the tender trembling moments start We're in a world, our very own Sharing a love that only few have ever known Wine-colored days warmed by the sun Deep velvet nights when we are one Speak softly, love so no one hears us but the sky The vows of love we make will live until we die My life is yours and all becau-au-se You came into my world with love so softly love Wine-colored days warmed by the sun Deep velvet nights when we are one Speak softly, love so no one hears us but the sky The vows of love we make will live until we die My life is yours and all becau-au-se You came into my world with love so softly love |

To dream the impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe To bear with unbearable sorrow And to run where the brave dare not go To right the unrightable wrong And to love pure and chaste from afar To try when your arms are too weary To reach the unreachable star This is my quest To follow that star No matter how hopeless No matter how far To fight for the right Without question or pause To be willing to march, march into hell For that heavenly cause And I know If I'll only be true To this glorious quest That my heart Will lie peaceful and calm When I'm laid to my rest And the world will be better for this That one man, scorned and covered with scars, Still strove with his last ounce of courage To reach the unreachable, the unreachable, The unreachable star And I'll always dream The impossible dream Yes, and I'll reach The unreachable star |

Where's this place called "Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet I'm looking for that lonely street I've got a sad, sad tale to tell I need a place to go and weep Where's this place called "Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet A place where there's just loneliness Where dim lights bring forgetfulness Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet Where's this place called "Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet Perhaps upon that lonely street There's someone such as I Who came to bury broken dreams And watch an old love di-ie If I could find that lonely street Where dim lights bring forgetfulness Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet Where's this place called "Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?" Where's this place called "Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?" |

(Hummed intro)
The harbor lights were shining, The moon was in its high. The captain said, "Thank God we're home! We've drunk the barrels dry." The mizzen mast was shaken, And the lanterns all burned low, I'd never thought we'd make it But we've twenty leagues to go So blow you southern trades And guide me safely to the shore, I'm never ever gonna sail The seven seas no more I know I'm gonna miss the sand in my hair, The roll of the tide and the salt in the air Deep inside it's true I'm a home lovin' man, Comin' on home to you I know I'm gonna miss the wind in my eyes, The shimmer of light when the seagull flies Although I've traveled far I'm a home lovin' man, And home is where you are The crowd upon the quayside Their faces long and drawn Are suddenly awakened As we sail in on the dawn The wives, the sons, the lovers, Who never gave up hope All breathe a sigh together As they reach to catch the rope God bless you, southern trades, You got me safely back this time Oh, you'll never have the need again To save this soul of mine I know I'm gonna miss the sand in my hair, The roll of the tide and the salt in the air Deep inside it's true I'm a home lovin' man, Comin' on home to you I know I'm gonna miss the wind in my eyes, The shimmer of light when the seagull flies Although I've traveled far I'm a home lovin' man, And home is where you are Yes, I know I'm gonna miss the sand in my hair, The roll of the tides and the salt in the air Deep inside it's true I'm a home lovin' man, Comin' on home to you... |

Words and music by leon russell
(peak billboard position # 82 in 1971) I've been so many places in my life and time I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme I've acted out my love in stages With ten thousand people watching But we're alone now and I'm singin' this song for you I know your image of me is what I hope to be I've treated you unkindly but baby can't you see (baby can't you see now) There's no one more important to me (baby) Baby can't you please see through me 'cause we're alone now and I'm singin' this song for you You taught me precious secrets of the truth, withholdin' nothin' You came out in front and I was hiding But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together Listen to the melody (listen to the melody) cause my love's in there hiding I love you in a place where there's no space or time I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine (you are a friend of mine) And when my life is over, remember when we were together We were alone and I was singin' this song for you We were alone and I was singin' this song for you We were alone and I was singin' this song, singin' this song for you Transcribed by ronald e. hontz |
