Cyndi Lauper

At last
my love has come along
my lonely days over
and life is like a song

Ooh At last
the skies above are blue
well my heart was wrapped up in clover
the night I looked at you

I found a dream
that I could speak to
a dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill
to press my cheek to
a thrill that I have never known

You smile
you smile
oh and then the spell was cast
and here we are in heaven
for you are mine at last

I found a dream
that I could speak to
a dream that I
could call my own
I found a thrill
to press my cheek to
a thrill that I have never known

You smile
you smile
oh and then the spell was cast
and here we are in heaven
for you are mine at last

ooo yea
you are mine
you are mine
at last
at last
at last
at last"

If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by

Make believe
that you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
in private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by

I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by

Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by
and walk on by
and walk by (don't stop)

Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by (don't stop)
and walk on by (don't stop)
and walk by (don't stop)"

People stay just a little bit longer
We want to play -- just a little bit longer
Now the promoter don't mind
And the union don't mind
If we take a little time
And we leave it all behind and sing
One more song--

Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose

When you kiss me heaven sighs
And though I close my eyes
I see La vie en rose

When you press me to your heart
I'm in a world apart
A world where roses bloom
And when you speak, angels sing from above
Everyday words seem to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be La vie en rose"

Whoa! My love, my darling,
I hunger for your touch,
Alone. Lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly,
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea,
To the open arms of the sea.
Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me,
I'll be coming home, wait for me.

Whoa! My love, my darling,
I hunger, hunger!, for your love,
For love. Lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly,
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me."

If you go away
On this summer day
Then you might as well
Take the sun away
All the birds that flew
In the summer sky
And our love was new
And our hearts were high
When the day was young
And the night was long
And the moon stood still
For the night bird song
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
But if you stay
I'll make you a day
Like no day has ever been
Or will be again
We'll sail on the sun
We'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees
And worship the wind
And if you go
I'll understand
Leave me just enough love
To hold in my hand
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
If you go away
As I know you will
You must tell the world to stop turning
Till you return to me
If you ever do,
Oh what good is love without loving you?
I can tell you now, as you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly
Till your next hello
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away,
But if you stay
I'll make you a night
Like no night has ever been
Or will be again
I'll sail on you smile
I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes
That I love so much
But if you go
I'll understand
Leave me just enough love
To hold in my hand
If you go away, if you go away,
if you go away, if you go away

If you go away, as I know you must
There is nothing left in this world to trust
Just an empty room, full of empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
I'd have been the shadow of your shadow
If you might have kept me by your side
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away."

Though you don't call anymore
I sit and wait in vain
I guess I'll rap on your door
Tap on your window pane
I want to tell you baby
The changes I've been going through
Missing you, listen you

'till you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do

Why did you have to decide
You had to set me free
I'm gonna swallow my pride
I'm gonna beg you to (please baby please) see me
I'm gonna walk by myself
Just to prove that my love is true
Oh, for you baby

'till you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do

Living for you my dear
Is like living in a world of constant fear
In my plea, I've got to make you see
That our love is dying

Although your phone you ignore
Somehow I must explain
I'm gonna rap on your door
Tap on your window pane
I'm gonna camp on your step
Until I get through to you
I've got to change your view baby

'till you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do"

My baby don't care for shows
My baby don't care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for cars and races
My baby don't care for high-tone places

Liz Taylor is not his style
And even Lana Turner's smile
Is somethin' he can't see
My baby don't care who knows
My baby just cares for me

Baby, my baby don't care for shows
And he don't even care for clothes
He cares for me
My baby don't care
For cars and races
My baby don't care for
He don't care for high-tone places

Liz Taylor is not his style
And even Liberace's smile
Is something he can't see
Is something he can't see
I wonder what's wrong with baby
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for me"

Another bride, another June
Another sunny honeymoon
Another season, another reason
For makin' whoopee

A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
The groom is nervous, he answers twice
Its really killin' that he's so willin' to make whoopee

Picture a little love nest
Down where the roses cling
Picture the same sweet love nest
And think what a year can bring

He's washin dishes and baby clothes
He's so ambitious he even sews
But don't forget folks,
Thats what you get folks, for makin' whoopee"

(B. Benjamin, S. Marcus, G. Caldwell)

Baby do you understand me now
If sometimes you see that I'm mad
Don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong I seem bad

Well I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Baby sometimes I'm so carefree
with a joy that's hard to hide
Then sometimes again it seems that all I have is worry
And then you bound to see my other side

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy
I want you to know
That I never meant to take it out on you
Life has its problems
and I have my share
And that's me one thing I never wanna do

Baby
Don't you know I'm human
I have thoughts like any other one?

Oh when sometimes I find myself alone regretting
Some little thing
Some simple thing I've done

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Please don't let me be misunderstood"

You've Really Got A Hold On Me
(W. 'Smokey' Robinson)

I don't like you
But I love you
Seems like I'm always thinking of you
Oh, oh, oh,
You treat me badly
I love you madly
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me

I don't want you,
But I need you
Don't wanna kiss you
But I need you
Oh, oh, oh
You do me wrong now
My love is strong now
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me

I love you and all that I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me

Don't wanna leave you
don't wanna stay here
Don't wanna spend another day here
Oh, I just don't fit now
I just can quit now
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby

I love you and all that I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me"

If the sky should fall into the sea
And the stars fade all around me
All the times that we have known here
I will sing a hymn to love

We have lived and dreamed we two alone
In a world that's been our very own
With it's memories ever grateful
Just for you I sing a hymn to love

I remember each embrace
The smile that lights your face
And my heart begins to sing
Your eyes have never lied
And my heart begins to sing
And my heart begins to sing

If one day you should ever disappear
Always remember these words
If one day we had to say goodbye
And our love should fade away and die
In my heart you will remain here
And I'II sing a hymn to love

O for love, we live eternally
In the blue we'll roll this harmony
With every day we are in heaven
As for you, I'll sing a hymn to love

Don't you ever worry, dear
And the stars shall fade from the sky
All the times that we have known here
I will sing a hymn to our love
Oh darling,
Just for you I sing
A hymn to love"

Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street

Can't you hear the pitter-pat
And that happy tune is your step
Life can be complete
On the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade with my blues on parade
But I'm not afraid...this rover's crossed over

If I never had a cent
I'd be rich as Rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade with them blues on parade
Now I'm not afraid... this rover has crossed over
Now if I never made one cent
I'll still be rich as Rockefeller
There will be goldust at my feet
On the sunny, sunny side of the street

Shine I'll stand by you
Don't try and push me away
'cause I'm just gonna stay
You can shine I won't deny you
And don't be afraid it'll all be ok

Do you know my name
Well I ain't gonna take that big time line
won't be beat by a lie
Gonna call out to these embers waiting to ignite
Gonna pull you up
By your love, by your love and tell you

Shine I'll stand by you...

I can see the frown you wear
All around like some faded crown
Like a watch over wound
Gonna call down to this diamond buried underground
Gonna pull you up by your love, by your love and tell you

When it's said and done
What you need will come and time won't let me
Let you let me waste it this time shine...

Spread your wings for New Orleans
Kentucky bluebird, fly away
And take a message to Michael, message to Michael
He sings each night in some cafe
In his search to find wealth and fame
I hear Michael has gone and changed his name
It's a year since he was here
Kentucky bluebird, fly away
And take a message to Michael, message to Michael
Tell him I miss him more each day
As his train pulled out down the track
Michael promised he'd soon be coming back
Oh tell him how my heart just breaks in two
Since he journeyed far
And even though his dreams of fame fell through
To me he will always be a star
Spread your wings for New Orleans
Kentucky bluebird, fly away
And take a message to Michael, message to Michael
Ask him to start for home today
When you find him please let him know
Rich or poor, I will always love him so
Fly away, Kentucky bluebird
Fly away, Kentucky bluebird
Fly away, fly away, fly away, fly away...

I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mama dear we′re not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you′re still number one
But girls they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have--

That′s all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh girls-- they wanna have fun

And hide her away from the rest of the world

Oh girls they wanna have fun

Is some fun
When the working day is done
Oh girls--they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have fun,

To my surprise, one hundred storeys high
People getting loose now, getting down on the roof
I tell ya', the folks were screaming, there was a', there was a' out of control, yeah...
It was so entertaining when the boogie started to explode
I heard somebody say

(Burn baby burn) Disco Inferno, yeah
(Burn baby burn) Burn that mother down, yeah
(Burn baby burn) Disco Inferno, yeah
(Burn baby burn) Burn that mother down

Satisfaction, it came in a chain reaction
I couldn't get enough, so I had to self-destruct
I tell ya', I tell ya' now, now...
The heat was on, it was a rising to the top
Well now, everybody's going strong, yeah that's when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say

(Burn baby burn) Disco Inferno, yeah
(Burn baby burn) Burn that mother down, yeah
(Burn baby burn) Disco Inferno, yeah
(Burn baby burn) Burn that mother down

Up above my head
I hear music in the air (I hear music in the air)
That makes me know
There's a party somewhere...

Satisfaction, it came in a chain reaction
I couldn't get enough, so I had to self-destruct
I tell ya', I tell ya' now, now...
The heat was on, it was a rising to the top
Well now, everybody's going strong, yeah that's when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say

You'll rescue me
Let my spirit run free
You'll rescue me
Let my spirit run free...

Cyndi Lauper:
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion--
Is nothing new
Flashback--warm nights--
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories,
Time after--

Sarah McLachlan:
Sometimes you picture me--
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said--
Then you say--go slow--
I fall behind--
The second hand unwinds

Chorus:
If you're lost you can look--and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting
Time after time

Cyndi Lauper:
After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows--you're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time--

Chorus:
If you're lost...

You said go slow--
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds--

Chorus:
If you're lost...
...time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

Listen to the sound when ya....
Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty yea yea yea yea...

How do you see yourself inside your mind?
Do you ever catch yourself step out of time?
If i had a dollar every time i tried
I'd be living high and mighty

How do you see yourself inside your mind?
Who do you look at when you close your eyes?
If i had a dollar every time i cried,
I'd be living high and mighty, yes yes yes...

Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty, ma my, ma my, ma my...

Then i guess it wouldn't be so bad without you,
Wouldn't even mind the things that you
Wouldn't walk away all steamy, cool
I'd be living high and mighty yea yea yea

Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty
Living high and mighty yea yea yea yea...
Living... ma my ma my ma my

Listen to the sound when ya...

I keep a coat rack by my bed
Up against your closet and next to my head
Didn't mean to trap your cloths
Keep the door blocked, closed
So you can't get in and i can't get out
Sink into my pillow and dream what it's about

To be living high and mighty
To be living high and mighty, yea yea yea

Ma my, ma my, ma my...
Living high and mighty
I' d be living high and mighty
And keep the door blocked closed
My, my, my,
Yea, yea, yea
