Yesterday Once More
When I was young I'd listened to the radio Waitin' for my favorite songs When they played I'd sing along It made me smile Those were such happy times And not so long ago How I wondered where they'd gone But they're back again Just like a long lost friend All the songs I loved so well (*) Every Sha-la-la-la Every Wo-wo-wo Still shines Every shing-a-ling-a-ling That they're starting to sing's So fine When they get to the part Where he's breakin' her heart It can really make me cry Just like before It's yesterday once more Lookin' back on how it was In years gone by And the good times that I had Makes today seem rather sad So much has changed It was songs of love that I would sing to then And I'd memorize each word Those old melodies Still sound so good to me As they melt the years away Repeat (*) All my best memories Come back clearly to me Some can even make me cry Just like before It's yesterday once more Repeat (*) |

from Muriel's Wedding (뮤리엘의 웨딩) by Peter Best [ost] (1995)
We've only just begun to live,
White lace and promises A kiss for luck and we're on our way. We've only begun. Before the rising sun we fly, So many roads to choose We start our walking and learn to run. And yes, We've just begun. Sharing horizons that are new to us, Watching the signs along the way, Talking it over just the two of us, Working together day to day Together. And when the evening comes we smile, So much of life ahead We'll find a place where there's room to grow, And yes, We've just begun. Sharing horizons that are new to us, Watching the signs along the way, Talking it over just the two of us, Working together day to day Together. |

Talk about love
How it makes life complete You can talk all you want Make it sound good and sweet But the words have an empty ring And they don't really mean a thing Without love you are not to be found You are not to be found For love is surrender Love is surrender if you care Love is surrender if you dare Shout about love Then the wars will all end You can shout "we're all brothers", And eve pretend But you can't cover up the past Just pretending will never last Without love you are nothing at all You are nothing at all For love is surrender You must surrender if you care You must surrender if you dare For love is surrender You must surrender if you care You must surrender if you dare Da-a-a-re! |

Maybe it's me Maybe it's just the constant rhythm of the sea Maybe it's just that I've never been the kind who can pass a lucky penny by Maybe it's wise Maybe it's not Maybe it's you who brought the caring I'd forgot Isn't it nice to talk about the special way That you smile whenever I'm around Rising on the shore The ocean came Walks along the waves of velveteen His only thought Was love for me Couldn't we stay Or must we go Couldn't we stay And watch the splashing rock we throw Only a fool would want to leave this paradise That I find whenever you're around Only a fool Isn't it nice to talk about the special way That you smile whenever I'm around Rising on the shore The ocean's King Walks along the waves of velveteen His only thought Was love for me love for me Couldn't we stay Or must you go Couldn't we stay And watch the splashing rocks we throw Only a fool would want to leave the paradise That I find whenever you're around Only a fool Only a fool |

Green September
Burned to October brown Bare November Led to December's frozen ground The seasons stumbled round Our drifting lives are bound To a falling crescent noon Feather clouds cry A vale of tears to earth Morning breaks and No one sees the quiet mountain birth Dressed in a brand new day The sun is on its way To a falling crescent noon Somewhere in A fairytale forest lies one Answer that is waiting to be heard You and I were Born like the breaking day All our seasons All our green Septembers Burn away Slowly we'll fade into A sea of midnight blue And a falling crescent noon |

The moon that rose now descended
And the love once shared now had ended And soon the day would come And when the day had come The light that fell at dawn was cold The warmth of you had gone A taste of loneliness Cut through the earliness And oh the winds sang of you Softly they said All of my favorite dreams were dead Leaving a cloud of sadness in my head And though I'm buried in A sad song of the morning wind I know the day would bring Another song for me to sing But when the day had come The light that fell at dawn was cold The warmth of you had gone Go-o-o-ne |

A flaming youth I was bound I would fly away I packed my grip and I grabbed my saxophone Can't read notes but I play anything by ear I made up tunes on the sounds that I used to hear When I'd start to play folks to say Sounds a little Goofus to me Cornfed chords appeal to me I like rustic harmony Hold a note and change the key Hey but that's Goofus Not according to the rules That you learn in music schools But the folks just dance like fools They sure go for Goofus Got a job but I just couldn't keep it long The leader said that I played all the music wrong So I stepped out with an outfit of my own Got together a new kind of orchestra And we all played just the same Goofus harmony And I must admit we made a hit Goofus has been lucky for me Got together a new kind of orchestra And we all played just the same Goofus harmony And I must admit we made a hit Goofus has been lucky for me Goofus has been lucky for me Goofus has been lucky for me |

Sometimes not often enough
We reflect upon the good things And those thoughs always center around those we love And I think about those people who mean so much to me And for so many years have made me so very happy And I count the times I have forgotten to say "thank you" And just how much I love them |

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've song 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 singing this song for you I know your image of me is what I hope to be I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see There's no one more important to me Darlin' can't you please see through me Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you You tought me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing 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 cause my love is in there hiding I love you in a place where there's no space or time I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine And when my life is over remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song for you You tought me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing 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 cause my love is in there hiding I love you in a place where there's no space or time I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine And when my life is over remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song for you We were alone and I was singing this song for you |

Such a feeling's coming over me
There is wonder in most everything I see Not a cloud in the sky Got the sun in my eyes And I won't be surprised if it's a dream Everything I want the world to be is now coming true especially for me And the reason is clear It's because you are here You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen I'm on the top of the world looking down on creation And the only explanation I can find Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around Your love's put me at the top of the world Something in the wind has learned my name And it's telling me that things are not the same In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze Is a pleasing sense of happiness for me There is only one wish on my mind When this day is through I hope that I will find That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me All I need will be mine if you are here |

No one in the world
Ever had a love as sweet as my love For nowhere in the wolrd Could there be a boy as true as you love All my love I give gladly to you All your love You give gladly to me Tell me why then Oh why should it be that We go on hurting each other We go on hurting each other Making each other cry Hurting each other Without ever knowing why Close than the leaves On a weepin' willow, baby, we are Closer dear are we Than the simple letters "A" and "B" are All my life I could love only you All your life You could love only me Tell me why than Oh why should it be that We go on hurting each other We go on hurting each other Making each other cry Hurting each other Without ever knowing why Can't we stop hurting each other Gotta stop hurting each other Making each other cry Breaking each other's heart Tearing each other apart Can't we stop hurting each other Gotta stop hurting each other Making each other cry Breaking each other's heart Tearing each other apart |

It's going to take some time this time
to get myself in shape i really fell outta line this time i really missed the gate the birds on the telephone line (this time) are calling out to me (this time) and i won't be so blind next time and i'll find some harmony and it's going to take some time this time no matter what i plan and like the young trees in the winter time i'll learn how to bend after all the tears we've shed how could we make amends so it's one more round for experience and i'm on the road again..... and it's going to take some time, this time..... <INSTRUMENTAL>after all the tears we've shed how could we make amends so it's one more round for experience and i'm on the road again... and it's going to take some time this time.... |

I'll say goodbye to love
No one ever cared If I should live or die Time and time again the change for love has passed me by And all I know of love is how to live without it I just can't seem to find it So I've my mind up i must live my life alone And though it's not the easy way I guess I've always know I'd say goodbye to love There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine Surely time will lose these bitter memories And I'll find that there is someone to believe in And to live for something I could live for All the years of useless search finally reached an end Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend From this day love is forgotten I'll go on as best I can What lies in the future is a mystery to us all No one can predict the whee l of fortune as it falls There may come a time when i will see that I've been wrong But for now this is my song And it's goodbye to love I'll say goodbye to love |

Day after day
I must face a world of strangers Where I don't belong I'm not that strong It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to Who will always care you're always there when there's no getting over that rainbow When my smallest of dreams won't come true I can take all the madness the world has to give But I won't last a day without you So many times when the city seems to be Without a friendly face a lonely place It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you And you'll always smile it's all worthwhile when there's no getting over that rainbow When my smallest of dreams won't come true I can take all the madness the world has to give But I won't last a day without you Touch me and I end up singing Trouble seems to up and disappear You touch me with the love you're bringing I can't really lose when you're near When you're near my love If all my friends have forgotten half their promises they're not unkind just hard to find One look at you and I know That I could learn to live without the rest I've found the best when there's no getting over that rainbow When my smallest of dreams won't come true I can take all the madness the world has to give But I won't last a day without you when there's no getting over that rainbow When my smallest of dreams won't come true I can take all the madness the world has to give But I won't last a day without you But I won't last a day without you without you |

Listen to the song he sings
Can't you see his music brings her Crystal sleepAs her heavy eyelids fall He's taking her to where the dolls Rule the worldAnd in that land of make believe Is where he'll leave her sleeping Softly warm In a crystal lullabyHe's weaving her a paper castle Where dancing clowns with tassels made of fur Welcome her into their world That lives inside the dreams Of every little girlShe's guarded by a brave tin soldier Sitting on her shoulder Taken there In a crystal lullabySometimes when I listen to The velvet song that fills the summer afternoon Something deep within me sighs And wishes for the peaceful skies Of long ago That wrapped my cares In silver air And carried them away Leaving me ... And a crystal lullaby |

I've been on this lonely road so long
Does anybody know where it goes I remember the last time The signs pointed home a month ago Rented cars and empty motel rooms Lead you everywhere but home Crowds of people shouting How they love the show They don't know ( ) The endless crowds of faces Just keep on wearing a smile The countless times and places lead me back Please take me back home ( ) I wonder if these feelings ever change How many times I'll lift this load Come tomorrow I'll be gone again Roads of sorrows coming to an end for me ( ) ( ) |

Here I am just sittin' around
With an old piano in a vacant room And the same old feelin's come again So uncertain hurtin' scared I though I grew, but here I am again Shoulda seen the train be passin' thru. I thought I knew And I can't make music No I can't make rhyme No I can't do anything To take me away this time I know it's an old cliche to say I feel I'm gonna die And I hear it's goin' out to cry So I'm gonna say some kind words to you I like to wish you luck & hope That life will be with someone else Just like I though it would be with me But I can't see... And I can't make music No I can't make rhyme No I can't do anything To take me away this time |

We were buggin' each other while we sat out the light We both popped our clutch when the light turned green You should have heard the wine from my screamin' machine I flew past La Brea, down to Crescent Heights And all the Jag could see were my six tail lights He passed me at Doheny and I started to swerve But I pulled her out and there we were at Deadman's Curve Deadman's Curve is no place to play Deadman's Curve Well, the last thing I remember Doc. I started to swerve, and then I saw the Jag slide into the curb I know I'll never forget that horrible sight I found out for myself, that everyone was right Won't come back from Deadman's Curve Deadman's Curve is no place to play Deadman's Curve you best keep away Deadman's Curve I can hear them say Won't come back from Deadman's Curve |

As a child I was known for make-believing
All alone I created fantasies As I grew people called it self-deceiving But my heart helped me hold the memories As I walk through the world I find around me Something new, yet familiar's in the air I feel it ev'rywhere Like a child's eyes On a Christmas night I'm lookin' at you now Finding answers to my prayers (*) It's a new day for those good old dreams One by one it seems they're comin' true Here's the morning that my heart had seen Here's the morning that just had to come through Same old stage but what a change of scene No more dark horizons, only blue It's a new day for those good old dreams All my life I dreamed of lovin' you You're a spark of a long forgotten fire You're a touch of a slowly growing wind You're a taste of the ever-changing seasons Telling me there are some things that don't end We have left all the darkness far behind us All those hopes that we held along the way Have made it to this day Like an old love song Gone for much too long You hear it once again Ant it carries you away Repeat (*) It's a new day for those good old dreams And It's all because of you |

Where's the poetry in the pain Where's the color in the stain where the tears have fallen It's gone, it's just gone Where's the method to this madness As we create this suffering And we do each other in and we still hold on But it's gone, it's just gone (*) He says it's gone And he can't go on a living a memory Mulling it over endlessly Why is that so hard for me to see He says it's gone And he can't go on trying to live a lie And when he cries, I know it's over But I may never know why There's no face in the locket There's no place for the past I'll put it back in my pocket It was never meant to last It's just gone Repeat (*) There's no word for the sadness There's no poetry in the pain There's no color in the stain where the tears have fallen It's gone, it's just gone It's gone, it's just gone Well, it's gone |

Children
It was more fun to be children We just took life as it happened Run thru the days Don't look behind Over wink of an eye and it's over What a surprise to discover We were people ourselves What kind of people did we want to be No answer ever came to me It didn't sleep at all last night Mom, I've come to you like yesterday About today Mom, I'm afraid Hon, come and sit by my side Listen to me Words come so hard But what my heart says I will give you Because you are in love Your eyes begin to open As if you had awaken from a sleep Because you are in love You use imagination And lose your concentration When someone drops his name You're back in his arms as always Your day-dreams work out that way It's all just a trick you mind plays The more love grows The more it says the same (Same little girl who's frightened) But I love him so (Same little girl who's sure) That she loves him so (Sees with a woman's vision knows what a woman knows) Because we are in love We reach for our tomorrows And know we won't be lonely In laughter and in sorrows Where love abides There is the place we'll keep our love forever You and I Because we are in love When love abides There is the place we'll keep our home forever You and I Because we are in love |

For those whose eyes would see
Render them in faith to me For all those seeking peace In my arms their strife shall cease And place in me the agony you bear Nothing can impair the perfect love I bring In a simple offering |

Your wonderful parade
Moving thru the towns that rise and then they fade Over streets that pass the houses where youve stayed Your wonderful parade Your daily masquerade Paper masks behind this face that you have made Crumble down upon foundation that you've laid Your daily masquerade (*) Stand in line try to climb Meet your wife at cocktail time Surely you should try and choose a better way to fall Your marvelous charade Never could be worth the prices that youve paid Blindness is a part of every game youve played Your marvelous charade Repeat (*) Your daily masquerade Your wonderful parade |

Someday rested from hours of sleeping
We'll stay safely behind what we're keeping You'll seem warmer than I had remembered you Lying so close I'll be able to feel you breathe I could never leave One day, when I am able to love you I'll come back from wherever I've been to I'll see you looking the same as you always have Lovely, so lovely I'll cling to the love you give So I'll start to live Someday is coming If I believe it Someday always brings the good life you knew Ever back to you How I need you Someday, all I can give you is someday Someday, all I can offer is someday Please say that you'll be waiting when someday comes Promise me this and a kiss to keep what you are Always close to me How I need you Someday, all I can give you is someday Someday, all I can offer is someday Please say that you'll be waiting when someday comes Promise me this and a kiss to keep what you are Always close to me |

Love is but a song we sing
And fear's the way we die You can make the mountains sing Or make the angels cry Though the dove is on the wing You need not know why (*) Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Love one another right now Some will come and some will go This will surely pass When the one who left us here Returns for us at last We are but a moment's sunlight Fading in the grass Repeat (*) If you hear the song we sing, You will understand You hold the key to love and fear It's in your trembling hand One key unlocks them both, you know It's at your command Repeat (*) Love one another right now Love one another right now |

I guess you Know
what it's all about All the answers seem so clear to you You know just exactly what do you want to do And never allow a feeling of doubt I guess you see where your road can lead And all the pain that you have in a store For now you have chosen to look every door And find on your own what you think you need Turn away find a way your own I'll be there waiting here to say Turn away find a way your own I'll still be calling your name And if I tried to show you how Tomorrow is never like yesterday Would you change your mind and see things my way Or are you afraid that I'll bring you down Turn away find a way your own I'll be there waiting here to say Turn away find a way your own I'll still be calling your name Turn away find a way your own I'll be there waiting here to say Turn away find a way your own I'll still be calling your name Turn away find a way your own I'll be there waiting here to say Turn away find a way your own I'll still be calling your name Turn away find a way your own I'll be there waiting here to say Turn away find a way your own |

Love, don't be afraid to love and get love returned
Don't be afraid to tell everyone you're learned (*) That love is a groovy thing It knows how to make you sing Ant it fills up your life with sunshine and joy Don't be afraid to give all you've got to give One of these days you'll find that's the way to live And living is what we all were put on this earth to do So come on and live and be happy Don't be afraid to love Repeat (*) Oh, live and be happy Don't be afraid to love Don't be afraid to love Don't be afraid to love Don't be afraid to love |

Getting away from all the things that need doing
Lazily here to lose the afternoon Lying around here on the ground It's as close to getting up as I can go Taking a chance to free myself from my worries Cover them well enough and no one sees Nobody knows until they show And the only thing to do is try to cover them again (*) Hurry yourself, what's the use? Mountains of wealth, I refuse To be somebody's slave for a dime I've got plenty of mountains I'm lookin' to find, spending my time Lying around, here on the ground It's as close to getting up as I can go Pleasing myself is all that really needs doing Everything else begins but never ends Listen to me and you'll agree That a man is better off If he has come to realize Repeat (*) twice |

Ooh, ooh, ba
Yesterday I thought you'd stay I thought you'd see things my way But now I see my hopes may be dead I should have known when you said I was the one you wanted Wanting meant nothing more than today (*) All I can do is cry over you And hope you return someday All I can do is cry over you Ever since you've gone away Every road that I follow Leaves me with no tomorrow I need someone to show me the way Repeat (*) Baba, baba, baba Baba, baba, baba |

Eve I can't believe
That you could mean What you just said Think of what you are How very far you are from being real Look into the mirror Nothing there to see Eve I can't believe You'd really leave him ( ) Notice how her image saddens How lonely she's become Just once I'd like to see her happy Before the winter comes Eve, I wouldn't lie The open sky is not your home Wide as it may be Reality is here among the stones Thorns among the roses Add to what is real Eve, you are a rose Among the thorns here ( ) I wish her only good times Before the winter comes |

Sing, sing
Who's that stompin' all over my face? Where's that sillhouette I'm trying to trace? And who's putting sponge in the bells I once rung And taking my gypsy before she's begun Just singing and a dreaming of what's in my mind Before I can take home what's rightfully mine Joinin' and a listenin' and talkin' in rhymes Stoppin' the feeling to wait for the times (*) Who's saying maybe That don't mean a thing" 'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing Sing, sing Who's all hung-up on that happiness thing? Who's trying to tune all the bells they ring? And who's in the corner and down on the floor With pencil and paper just counting the score Who's trying to act like he's just in-between? The night isn't black, if you know that it's green Don't bother looking, you're too blind to see Who's coming on like he wanted to be? Repeat (*) Who's coming home on the old 9 to 5? Who's got the feeling here to keep him alive? Though havin' it, sharin' it, ain't quite the same You painted it golden nugget, you can't lay claim Who's seeing eyes through the crack in the floor? There it is baby, don't you worry no more Who should be sleepin', but 's writing this song Wishin' and a-hopin' he weren't so damned wrong Repeat (*) twice |
