You know the feeling of something half remembered
Of something that never happened, yet you recall it well.
You know the feeling of recognizing someone
That you've never met as far as you could tell, well.

Laura is the face in the misty light,
Footsteps that you hear down the hall.
The laugh that floats on a summer night
That you can never quite recall.
And you see Laura on the train that is passing thru.
Those eyes, how familiar they seem.
She gave your very first kiss to you.
That was Laura but she's only a dream.

They say, Ruby you're like a dream
Not always what you seem
And though my heart may break when I awake
Let it be so
I only know, Ruby, it's you

They say, Ruby you're like a song
You don't know right from wrong
And in your eyes I see heart aches for me
But from the start, who stole my heart?
Ruby, it's you
I hear your voice and I must come to you
I have no choice what else can I do?

They say, Ruby you're like a flame
Into my life you came
And though I should beware
Still I don't care you thrill me so

Your kisses take me to Shangri-La
Each kiss is magic that makes my little world a Shangri-La
A land of bluebirds and fountains and nothing to do
But cling to an angel that looks like you
And when you hold me, how warm you are
Be mine, my darling, and spend your life with me in Shangri-La
For anywhere you are is Shangri-La

Your kisses take me to Shangri-La
Each kiss is magic that makes my little world a Shangri-La
A land of bluebirds and fountains and nothing to do
But cling to an angel that looks like you
And when you hold me, how warm you are
Be mine, my darling, and spend your life with me in Shangri-La
For anywhere you are is Shangri-La

Beyond The Reef

Beyond the reef where the sea is dark and cold
My love has gone from me and my dreams grow cold
There'll be no tears, there'll be no regretting
Will she remember me, will she forget ?

I'll send a thousand flowers
Where the trade winds blow
I'll send my lonely heart for I love her so
Some day I know she'll come back again to me
Till then my heart will be beyond the reef

Some day I know she'll come back again to me
Till then my heart will be beyond the reef

First the tide rushes in, plants a kiss on the shore
Then rolls out to sea and the sea is very still once more
So I rush to your side like the oncoming tide
With one burning thought, will your arms open wide?
At last face to face, and as we kiss through an embrace
I can tell, I can feel you are love, you are real
Really mine in the rain, in the dark, in the sun
Like the tide at its ebb I'm at peace in the web of your arms

First the tide rushes in, plants a kiss on the shore
Then rolls out to sea and the sea is very still once more
So I rush to your side like the oncoming tide
With one burning thought, will your arms open wide?
At last face to face, and as we kiss through an embrace
I can tell, I can feel you are love, you are real
Really mine in the rain, in the dark, in the sun
Like the tide at its ebb I'm at peace in the web of your arms

Feelings, nothing more than feelings
Trying to forget my
feelings of love

Teardrops, rolling down on my face
Trying to forget my
feelings of love

Feelings, for all my life I′ll feel it
I wish I′ve never met you girl
You′ll never come again

Feelings, wo wo wo feelings
wo wo wo feelings
again my arms

Feelings, feelings like I′ve never lost you
And feelings like I′ll never have you
again my heart

Feelings, feelings like I′ve never lost you
And feelings like I′ll never have you
again my life

Feelings, for all my life I′ll feel it
I wish I′ve never met you girl
You′ll never come again

Feelings, wo wo wo feelings
wo wo wo feelings
again my arms

They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
I of course replied
Something here inside
Cannot be denied
They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind
When your heart's on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes
So I chaffred them and I gayly laughed
To think they could doubt my love
Yet today, my love has flown away
I am without my love
Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke get in your eyes
So I chaffred them and I gayly laughed
To think they could doubt my love
Yet today, my love has flown away
I am without my love
Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke get in your eyes

Feelings, nothing more than feelings
Trying to forget my
feelings of love

Teardrops, rolling down on my face
Trying to forget my
feelings of love

Feelings, for all my life I′ll feel it
I wish I′ve never met you girl
You′ll never come again

Feelings, wo wo wo feelings
wo wo wo feelings
again my arms

Feelings, feelings like I′ve never lost you
And feelings like I′ll never have you
again my heart

Feelings, feelings like I′ve never lost you
And feelings like I′ll never have you
again my life

Feelings, for all my life I′ll feel it
I wish I′ve never met you girl
You′ll never come again

Feelings, wo wo wo feelings
wo wo wo feelings
again my arms

Our love affair is a wondrous thing
That we'll rejoice in remembering
Our love was born with our first embrace
And a page was torn out of time and space

Our love affair, may it always be
A flame to burn through eternity
So take my hand with a fervent prayer
That we may live and we may share
A love affair to remember

You must remember this
a kiss is still a kiss
a sigh is still just a sigh
the fundamental things apply

And when two lovers woo
they still say "I love you"
on that you can rely
no matter what the future brings
as time goes by

Moonlight and love songs
never out of date
hearts full of passion
jealousy and hate

Woman needs man
and man must have his mate
that no one can deny

It's still the same old story
a fight for love and glory
a case of do or die

The world will always welcome lovers
as time goes by

My romance, doesn't need to have a moon in the sky
My romance, doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by
No month of May, no twinkling stars
No hideaway, no soft guitar

My romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain
Or a dance to a constantly surprising refrain
All at once I can make my most fantastic dreams come true
My romance, doesn't need a thing but you

My romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain
Or a dance to a constantly surprising refrain
And wide awake, I can make my most fantastic dreams come true
My romance, doesn't need a thing but you, but you
