Peter Cincotti

No one to talk with, all by myself
No one to walk with but I'm happy on the shelf
Ain't misbehavin', savin' my love for you

I know for certain the one I love
I'm through with flirtin', it's you that I'm dreamin' of
Ain't misbehavin', savin' my love for you

Like Jack Horner in the corner
Don't go nowhere, what do I care?
Your kisses are worth waitin' for, believe me

Don't stay out late, no place to go
I'm home about eight, just me and my radio
Ain't misbehavin', savin' my love for you

(instrumental break)

Like Jack Horner in the corner
Don't go nowhere, what do I care?
Your kisses are worth waitin' for, believe me

Don't stay out late, no place to go
I'm home about eight, just me and my radio
Ain't misbehavin', savin' my love for you
All my love

The question that I pose is really easy
It came to me the moment you walked by
It seem to me you looked at me so sweetly
The moment that I stared into your eyes
Are you the one to steal my heart completely?
Are you the one that I am to adore?
Are we the pair that slips away discretely?
Are you the one that I have waited for?
We can toast the moon sitting by a fire
And then walk hand in hand for others to admire
Are you the one to paint the town so brightly?
Are you the one I simply can't ignore?
Are we the pair that dance together nightly?
Are you the one that I have waited for?
We can sail the seas on an ocean liner and then drink pink champagne
Our life could be no finer
Are you the one to paint the town so brightly?
Are you the one I simply can't ignore?
Are we the pair that dance together nightly?
Are you the one that I have waited for?
Are you the one?
Are you the one?
Are you the one?
Oh are you the one?

one can buy tomorrow
No one can sell their sorrow
But when you look into my eyes
Darling, you'll always see
Love, I will give you love
Come live your life with me
We'll have our good times and even in sad times
With love we will find the way
Nothing else matters but loving each other
The way that we do today
Here in our world together
Love will go on forever
Warm in the shelter of my arms
Darling, you'll always be
Love, I will give you love
Come live your life with me
Here in our world together
Love will go on forever
Warm in the shelter of my arms
Darling, you'll always be
Love, I will give you love
Come live your life with me

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
It 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
Comesyour dentist right away
Comes love
Nothing can be done
That's all brother
If you've ever been in love
That's all brother
And you know just what I'm speakin' of
Comes a nightmare
You can always stay awake
Comes depression
You can get another break
Comes love
Nothing can be done
Nothing can be done

Don't keep on askin' where I've been
I'm not some guy you discipline
Stop that cryin'
No use justifyin'
Baby, I changed the rules
Don't keep me waiting at the door
I'm not some cat that you ignore
Just keep whinin'
And I'll keep on declinin'
Baby, I changed the rules
You can't stop me from shootin' the breeze
I always say and do as I please
Don't stop tryin'
You know I'm gratifyin'
Keep the pace
You're in the race
You feel the heat right by my side
Stay close, I'll take you for a ride
Stimulatin', real intoxicatin',
Baby, I changed the rules
-Instrumental-
You can't stop me from shootin' the breeze
I always say and do as I please
Don't stop tryin'
You know I'm gratifyin'
Keep the pace
You're in the race
You feel the heat right by my side
Stay close, I'll take you for a ride
Stimulatin', real intoxicatin',
Baby, I changed the rules
I changed the rules
I changed the rules

I raise my glasses to our happy ending,
I sip my wine to our grand demise.
This game we played is finally over.
Lovers secrets lies
And now at last the spell is broken .
the truth can now be spoken.
Heart ache is just a token.
Lovers secrets lies
No lonely night to wait and wonder, no secret sites for a rendez vous. My empty heart is well protected.
Lovers secrets lies
My life is now returning my
heart no longuer burning
Lovers secrets lies ...

Who do you think is comin' to town
You'll never guess who
The lovable, hugable Emily Brown
She's Miss Brown to you
What if the rain comes pattering down
My heaven is blue
Tenessee sending me Emily Brown
She's Miss Brown to you
I know, I know her eyes will thrill ya
But go slow
Don't you all get too familiar
Why do you think she's comin' to town
You just wait and you'll see
The lovable, hugable little Miss Brown
She is baby to me
I know, I know her eyes will thrill ya
But go slow
Don't you all get too familiar
Why do you think she's comin' to town
Just wait and you'll see
The lovable, hugable little Miss Brown
She is baby to me
She is baby to me
Yeah, she is baby to me

Rainbow Connection - Peter Cincotti

Why are there so many songs about rainbows,
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it,
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.

All of us under its spell,
We know that it's probably magic

Have you been half asleep? And have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it,
It's something that I'm s'posed to be
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,

The lovers, the dreamers, and me

Sway - Peter Cincotti

When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more

Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
You know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now

You stepped out of a dream,
You are too wonderful
To be what you seem.
Could there be eyes like yours?
Could there be lips like yours?
Could there be smiles like yours,
Honest and truly?
You stepped out of a cloud,
I want to take you away from the crowd,
And have you all to myself,
Alone and apart.
Out of a dream
Into my heart.
~interlude~
You stepped out of a cloud,
I want to take you away
Away from the crowd,
And have you all to myself,
Alone and apart.
Out of a dream,
And into my heart
Into my heart

There′s so much on my mind
And there′s so much more I gotta do
Well I′m working through the night
But I just can′t stop watching you

I gotta keep looking out through the window
Trying to read your mind
I′m looking at you lying down on your pillow
Wishing I was by your side
I′m trying so hard
But I can′t keep my mind on anything I do
′cos I′m always watching you
I′m always watching you

Well I watch you close your eyes
And I watch you sleeping by the phone
So beautiful so fine
I can′t imagine why you are all alone

So I gotta keep looking out through the window
Trying to read your mind
I′m looking at you lying down on your pillow
Wishing I was by your side
I′m trying so hard
But I can′t keep my mind on anything I do
′cos I′m always watching you
I′m always watching you

And without you ever knowing
I′m going out of my mind
When you leave me everyday
′cos I wonder where you are going
And I spend all day just waiting for you
But I know I′m gonna be alright
′cos I′ll be watching you tonight

Well I′m trying to get in control
And stop myself from doing wrong
′cos I can′t just risk it all
I′ve been tide down way too long

I gotta keep looking out through the window
Trying to read your mind
I′m looking at you lying down on your pillow
Wishing I was by your side
I′m trying so hard
But I can′t keep my mind on anything I do
′cos I′m always watching you
I′m always watching you
I′m always watching you
′cos I′m always watching you

Mazy checks her cell phone
For the 32nd time
Slips into her Jimmy Choo’s
Perfect pink three-quarter skirt
And lilac leather purse
She's a page from W
She grabs the only coat she owns
Sprays the room with French cologne
Just in case she don't come home alone

Well she's on stage tonight in Angel Town
Where how you look's what matters
Things are looking up so don't look down
And she should go home but she never will
She'll ride her broken wings until
She flies so high
She shatters
She loves this town

Fat boy Roy's a would be king
With offices at Fox
He's sipping on his Veuve Cliquot
Sending drinks
To movie stars and hoping that his date
He’s hoping that she
Likes the fat boy dinner show
He gives the maître d' a nod
They bring his food like he was god
But Roy just sits there knowing he's a fraud

Well he's on stage tonight in Angel Town
Where how you looks' what matters
Things are looking up so don't look down
And he should go home but he never will
He'll ride his broken wings until
He flies so high
He shatters
I love this town

We're driving down from Heaven's Gate
And winding through the hills
Just can't wait to hit the streets
Tattooed Venus waits for us
With all her neon thrills
And many more delicious treats
Well Norma Jean I think I see
How you lost yourself in fantasy
Just like Mazy, Fat Boy Roy and Me

We're on stage tonight in Angel Town
Where how you look's what matters
Things are looking up so don't look down
We should go home but we never will
We'll ride our broken wings until
We fly so high
We shatter
I love this town

It was high July
Another Summer
On the boardwalk
His skin was brown
As a rosary bead
The year before
He was everybody뭩 hero
But he was losing ground
And gaining speed
He could뭭e been a girl
But just one good hand of poker
That could뭭e turned
The whole damn thing around
But that July
Something was lost
That never did get found
He was the sun
That was waiting to rise
He had the look
Of a king in his eyes
And everything
Everything was possible
And now he just laughs
And says what the hell
And clings to the secret
That He뭠l never tell
But I wish in knew
What kind of scar
Can turn a sun into
Just another falling star
Now I get this d??vu
And I don뭪 really like it
With this friend of mine
That can뭪 get it in his brain
He뭩 a diamond lost
Inside the stone
He뭩 a player born
To win the game
But he뭩 gonna blow it all
The brass rings in his finger
And I gotta watch
As he throws it away
He뭩 like a summer
That뭩 rare and right
That no one뭩 gonna play
He is a sun
That is waiting to rise
He뭩 got the look
Of a king in his eyes
And everything
Everything is possible
And now he just laughs
And say뭩 what the hell
And clings to the secret
That he뭠l never tell
But I wish I knew
What kind of scar
Can turn a sun into
Just another falling star
Oh just another falling star
And someone explain it
Cause I don뭪 know why
Some people live like
They뭨e waiting to die
And I wish I knew
What kind of scar
Can turn a sun into
Just another falling star
Oh just another falling star

Her name was Juliette,
Some girl that I just met,
For dinner at this place on Lafayette,
When it was time to go,
She gets the check and grabs my coat,
And then she tells me,
Now I'll walk you home.

Well I'm not liking what I hear,
I what kind of hemisphere,
Do the lions all get lead around by dear.

You gotta be careful,
Foolin' with nature,
'Cos pretty soon nature,
Will start foolin' with you.

He took a mouthfull,
Of a little red apple,
But that mouthfull,
Was a little too much to chew.

I like equality,
But if you're tellin' me,
That equal means the same I disagree,
Girls are sugar,
Boys are spice,
Mix 'em up you pay the price,
Never thinkin' what you sacrificed.

And now it's just too late,
So how can you complain,
That every Tarzan in the jungle acts like Jane.

You gotta be careful,
Foolin' with nature,
'Cos pretty soon nature,
Will start foolin' with you.

He took a mouthfull,
Of a little red apple,
But that mouthfull,
Was a little too much to chew.

My apologies to all concerned,
But it's a lesson every child has learned,
If you play with fire your fingers might get burned.

So let me get the door,
And let me keep you warm,
Why take less of me when I could give you more.

You gotta be careful,
Foolin' with nature,
'Cos pretty soon nature,
Will start foolin' with you.

So make me work harder,
At gettin' you closer,
'Cos the harder I'm workin',
The better you'll do

Who′s that face
On today’s front page
Sticking to my shoe
Empty eyes
And a real good smile
That′s all it takes
To sell the news
She got her name
On Gotham′s tongue
But Mama Fame
She eats her young
And half a buck
Ain′t half the price you pay
When you got
Broken children
Shot in black and white
Chasing wasted lives
And they can′t wait
To go there
Daddy′s money
Bought a first class seat
And they all just fly away
On a jet plane to nowhere
On a jet plane to nowhere
Well I′m at a house party
At the Taj Mahal
The portrait hanging
On the wall
Has got too much wine
In her head
And she gets too close
And grabs my face
And says
If you like this place
Well, then you ought to see my bed
She gives an order
To the staff
Looks up
For the photograph
It′s hard to know
If you should
Laugh or cry
When you got
Broken children
Shot in black and white
Chasing wasted lives
And they can′t wait
To go there
Daddy′s money
Bought a first class seat
And they all just fly away
On a jet plane to nowhere
The Hampton’s
Is a summer dream
Where little kings
Chase little queens
They eat it up like
Hungry wolverines
And it looks like
The fabric of their life is
Sewn tight
But it′s ripping at the seams
Broken children
Shot in black and white
Chasing wasted lives
And they can′t wait
To go there
Daddy′s money
Bought a first class seat
And they all just fly away
On a jet plane to nowhere
Oh on a jet plane to nowhere
Oh on a jet plane to nowhere

Like april snow blowing around in gramercy park
the two of us were never meant to last

you left your traces and drove away like a circus in town
a three-ring show that comes and goes too fast

the best of friends have been divided by a kiss
if we can′t love again
i can always remenisce

cinderella beautiful
this one is for you
we almost made our fairy tale come true
happy ever after was
unavailable
now, two years after midnight
i′m still thinking of those yesterdays
when i was prince charming
and you were cinderella beautiful

you know i don′t like christmas
but thanks for the holiday card
i didn′t know you moved so far away

the winter months were the usual mess
back here in new york
every day another shade of grey

i′m doing fine
but sometimes every now and then
i miss who i was with you
and i wonder where he went

cinderella beautiful
this one is for you
we almost made our fairy tale come true
happy ever after was
unavailable
now, two years after midnight
i′m still thinking of those yesterdays
when i was prince charming
and you were cinderella beautiful

and i know our time has come and gone away
so why do i waste my nights
dreaming of a you and me that can never be again?

happy ever after was
unavailable
now, two years after midnight
i still thinking of those yesterdays
when i was prince charming
and you were cinderella beautiful

December boys


I'm thinkin about you
And i remember everything, all of us
I look at the ocean
But still I can't see anything but all of us

The time of open hearts
The time before the rest of life begins
The learning who we are
What I'd give to be December boys again

But nothing was easy
But I would do it all again, and never change a thing
It's all about choices
But I couldn't watch you walk away without following

The lifes of broken dreams
The lifes dividing strangers from your friends
We live in you and me
I wanna give to be December boys again

In between a man and child
All bliss hearts is running wild
Everything on earth was worth a child
It took me by surprise I felt so good to be alive

Sooner or later
I'll find the end to everything, but life goes on
Twisting and turning
Forcing us through everyday, until it's gone

And last I think I know
The passes where we keep we might have been
But, it's best to let it go
Coz' we'll never be December boys again

We'll never be December boys again
Never be December boys again
Never never be December boys again

Just like Philadelphia
Freedom means a lot to me
In between the place I`ve been
And where I`m going
I can see America
Trying not to show her age
Even though the winds of change
Keep on blowing
And i would lay your body down and
rock your tears away
But it`s much too late for now to be like yesterday
And the time is running out and
we still have to say
Goodbye
Remember, Philadelphia
When the world was young and warm
So in love and living for
Everything new
But i know, Philadelphia
The winter wind will slowly take
Your heart and soul until it makes
Nothing of you
And i would lay your body down and
rock your tears away
But it`s much too late for now to be like yesterday
And the time is running out and
we still have to say
Goodbye
Flash a peace sign take a bow
Though we may not know it now
Things are never gonna be the same
Here on seventh avenue
I tip my old top hat to you
I hope you find somebody who
Will love you like i do
`cause i would lay your body down and
rock your tears away
But it`s much too late for now to be like yesterday
And the time is running out and
we still have to say
Goodbye
Goodbye, Philadelphia

Ah well he had nothing to lose
It was time to cruise
And he got out of that place
He knew just what to do
And made every move
Without leaving a trace

He jumped over the fence
And hit the ground
Running as fast as he could
Without making a sound
His feet were flying trough dirt and mud
Each step propelled by a rush of blood
And all he wanted to do
After all these years inside
Was make it out alive
Make it out alive

Well he’s been running away
Ever since the day
He dropped out of school
He never did what they
Told him he should
He just was no good
At following rules

But he learned how to get
What he wanted alright
By using a gun and a switchblade knife
He′d start a fight and kill on a whim
And take your life like it belonged to him
And he always thought
If he ever did get caught
He’d make it out alive
Oh make it out alive

Oh when the cops came around
They put him under arrest
But he couldn’t care less
He didn’t need to blink
When they threw him
Against the wall
He didn’t think he did
Anything wrong at all
So they locked him up
And they put him away
But he knew that he was
Gonna escape one day
And so he did
And ever since then
They tried
But they never saw
His face again

Right now he’s bumming around
In a small town
Down in Mexico
And every day he
Tells himself he′s free
But he doesn′t feel it though
He still falls asleep
With just one eye closed
Looking over his shoulder
Wherever he goes
He′s got a boat
And a house on the beach
But he hasn′t lived
One day in peace
Cause you gotta do much more
Than just survive
To make it out alive
Oh make it out alive
Oh make it out alive
Oh make it out alive
Make it out make it out make it out alive
Make it out alive
Make it out alive
Make it out alive
Make it out alive

Ringing phones wake you up
Pulling you away
I forgot the end of the world
Was scheduled for today

Tell them you got things to do
And one of them is me
Tell them that you got the flu
Ah tell them anything

I'm a man who's on a mission
Waking up the woman sleeping
In your eyes
Oh I got a very strong suspicion
This could be the day
That she's ready
And she's waiting
So tell her it's okay
To come on out and play

Look at your crawling back
Smiling like a cat
At it girl you ought to be proud
Blowing them off like that

Forget about what's on your mind
Forget about your hair
Put your little hands in mine
Ah put them anywhere

I'm a man who's on a mission
Waking up the woman sleeping
In your eyes
Oh I got a very strong suspicion
This could be the day
That she's ready
And she's waiting
So tell her it's okay
To come on out and play

I don't want to talk today
Let's put the words away
Words don't matter anyway
For what I wanna say
For what I wanna say

Put your mind
Into neutral
Close your eyes
And just be kama sutral
For where I want to go
You don't need a map to read
We'll find our way there naturally
And when your body
Is in motion
We can just sit back
And let it lead the way

I'm a man who's on a mission
Waking up the woman sleeping
In your eyes
Oh I got a very strong suspicion
This could be the day
That she's ready
And she's waiting
So tell her it's okay
To come on out and play

I'm a man who's on a mission
Waking up the woman sleeping
In your eyes
Oh I got a very strong suspicion
This could be the day
So tell her it's okay
To come on out and play.

Time can fly and days go by
It speed we can′t controll
It′s been 30 years of city life
And now we′re growing old
There′s nothing more we needed for
And there′s nothing left to do
So let′s spend the autumn years ahead of us
Like the summers of our youth
Never knew how much we had back then
But it′s not too late to have it all again
I wanna wake up to the music of hummingbirds and harmony
I wana feel the morning sunlight filling up the room
I wanna listen to the silence that′s singing through the scenery
I wanna smell the roses of our love the day they bloomed
Let′s go back and find
The simple world we knew
Coz i still wanna live again the country life with you
Country life with you
Taxi cabs and traffic jams
And subways on the ground
Don′t you miss the days when all we hear
The nature′s quiet sounds
I′m tired of just remembering
When their memories left to make
Just you and me in a hundred miles of greenery and lake
Oh take me to that peaceful place i miss
Coz i can′t spend another day like this
I wanna wake up to the music of hummingbirds and harmony
I wana feel the morning sunlight filling up the room
I wanna listen to the silence that′s singing through the scenery
I wanna smell the roses of our love the day they bloomed
Let′s go back and find
The simple world we knew
Coz i still wanna live again the country life with you
Don′t it let be another thing
You always meant to do
just let me live again the country life with you
Country life with you

Standing by the bedroom door
Leaning on the wall
Watching how you brush your hair
Like a waterfall

Dusty galaxies
Dance around the sun

Nothing moves pretty good
Holding everything
I wonder what would happen
If we pulled the string

So U B U
And I'll be me
Just don't hide a thing
And we'll be fine
Even if it's all wrong
It's all right

And don't remember
What you're supposed to do
U B U
And in unforgiving light
Even if it's all wrong
It's alright

Drawing circles in the dirt
And throwing pennies in
Thinking works a lot like that
You lose more than you win

No matter how you twist it up
It comes undone
Leave a well enough alone
And we'll all have fun

So U B U
And I'll be me
Just don't hide a thing
And we'll be fine
Even if it's all wrong
It's all right

And don't remember
What you're supposed to do
U B U
And in unforgiving light
Even if it's all wrong
It's alright

A rainbow ain't a crayon box
The sun, it don't know it's hot
We don't know how nothing works
Like it or not

So U B U
And I'll be me
Just don't hide a thing
And we'll be fine
Even if it's all wrong
It's all right

And don't remember
What you're supposed to do
U B U
And in unforgiving light
Even if it's all wrong
It's alright

So U B U
And I'll be me
Just don't hide a thing
And we'll be fine
Even if it's all wrong
It's all right

And don't remember
What you're supposed to do
U B U
And in unforgiving light
Even if it's all wrong
It's alright

U B U

So U B U
And I'll be me
Just don't hide a thing
Just don't hide a thing
Even if it's all wrong
It's all right

And don't remember
What you're supposed to do
U B U
And in unforgiving light
Even if it's all wrong
It's alright
