I've had many times I can tell you
Times when innocence I'd trade for company
And children saw me crying
I thought I'd had my share of that
But these miss you nights are the longest
Midnight diamonds stud my heaven
Southward burning like the jewels that eye your place
And the warm winds that embrace me
Just as surely kissed your face
Yeah these miss you nights they're the longest
How I missed you I'm not likely to tell
I'm a man and cold daylight buys the pride I'd rather sell
All my secrets are a wasted affair
You know them well
Thinking of my going
How to cut the thread and leave it all behind
Looking windward for my compass
I'll take each day as it arrives
But these miss you nights are the longest
Lay down all thoughts of your surrender
It's only me who's killing time
Play down all dreams and themes once remembered
It's just the same this miss you game
yet these miss you nights are the longest
. . .

All day I'm walking in a dream
I think about you constantly
Just like an ever flowing stream
Your memory haunts me constantly
Shadows fall and I try to drive you from my mind
So you're no longer near to me
But my heart sees you there with me
Every sunset you share with me
The rain that patters through the trees reminds
me of you constantly
Your name is whispered by the breeze and love birds
bring your song to me
Just as sure as the stars keep burning
in the sky your love will stay a flame in me
A flame that burns so bright
not only through the night
but constantly
Just as sure as each star keeps burning
in the sky your love will stay a flame in me
A flame that burns so bright
not only through the night
but constantly
Though we may be far apart
You're constantly deep in my heart
. . .

You've come up in the world
And it's all to your credit
You made something of your life
like you always said you would
But what ever happened to
The girl I used to know
And all those halcyon days of love?
You've come up in the world
And it's such a shame
You made success of a dream
but it seems so empty now
With your weak excuses and
Your condescending ways
And all too frequent nights - alone.
(STRINGS INTERLUDE)
I've come down in the world
And it's all to your credit
You made something of my life
but you've thrown it all away
For your books and your fancy talk
Your new found friends and all
Your theories on mankind - and society.
(Lyrics/Music - Clifford T. Ward)

Sorry to disturb you
But I was in the neighbourhood
About a friend I've her picture
Could you take a look?
Oh, I appreciate you're busy
And time is not your own
Yeah, maybe it would be better
If I telephoned
[chorus]:
Carrie doesn't live here anymore
Carrie used to room on the second floor
Sorry that she left no forwarding address
That was known to me
Carrie doesn't live here anymore
You could always ask at the corner store
Carrie had a date with her own kind of fate
It's plain to see
Another missing person
One of many we assume
The young wear their freedom
Like cheap perfume
(It's useless information)
Returning my call
(To help the situation)
They've nothing at all
You're just another message
On a payphone wall
chorus

A voice in the wildMy heart was so heavy with longing for you
My arms were so lonely, lonesome and blue
Alone in my sorrow, I heard a voice cry
A voice in the wilderness, a voice from the sky
Have faith in your darling, the voice seemed to say
Be true to her memory, she'll come back one day
And though there was no-one, nobody to see
A voice in the wilderness brought comfort to me
We had a quarrel, I was unkind
Why did you leave me, love made me blind
Come back to me darling, I yearn for your touch
Have pity, come back now, I need you so much
Believe me and you'll hear it, the voice from above
The voice in the wilderness, the voice of true love
Believe me and you'll hear it, the voice from above
A voice in the wilderness, the voice of true love.
erness

Aum aum aum aum
Aum aum aum aum
If you should tell me that I'll always be,
The one you'll always love so true.
Then I can tell you I could easily,
"I could easily fall in love with you."
It wasn't long ago I saw you there.
But even then I thought I knew,
That given half a chance I'd easily,
"I could easily fall in love with you."
I've been too long on my ownsome now.
I've been too long by myself.
I couldn't feel more lonesome now.
If I was left on the shelf.
Don't ever change that smile you're smiling now.
And please don't let me see you blue.
Then I can tell you oh so easily,
"I could easily fall in love with you."
I've been too long on my ownsome now.
I've been too long by myself.
I couldn't feel more lonesome now.
If I was left on the shelf.
Don't ever change that smile you're smiling now.
And please don't let me see you blue.
Then I can tell you oh so easily,
"I could easily fall in love with you."
Aum aum aum aum
Aum aum aum aum (fade out)

Imagine a still summer's day
When nothing is moving,
Least of all me.
I lay on my back in the hay,
The warm sun was soothing.
It made me feel good ...
The day I met Marie.
The sound of her whisper "hello"
Came tiptoeing softly into my head.
I opened my eyes kinda slow,
And there she was smiling.
It made me feel good ...
The day I met Marie.
With laughing eyes,
She'd toss her hair and tantalize.
She came to touch me then she's gone,
Just like a summer breeze.
I remember her kiss,
So soft on my brow,
And the way that she said,
"Baby go to sleep now,
Baby go to sleep now."
I woke with the chill in the air,
The warm sun no longer hung in the sky.
I reached out but she was not there.
She'd gone where she came from,
But I still feel good,
To think I've known Marie.
With laughing eyes,
She'd toss her hair and tantalize.
She came to touch me then she's gone,
Just like a summer breeze.

Now that the past has ended
My life's an open door
I know that we could have been mended
Oh but I can't take the hurt anymore
Can't take the hurt anymore
Ooh ooh can't take the hurt anymore
The rainbow's over
But I've seen it leave before
A love that's been left in the corner
Ooh cos I can't take the hurt anymore
Can't take the hurt anymore
Ooh ooh can't take the hurt anymore
Lady Oh My Lady,
Can't we find the right
And leave behind the sorrow
Lady Oh My Lady,
Can't we find the light
Bright enough to guide us
(Instr Break)
Can't take the hurt anymore
Ooh ooh can't take the hurt anymore
This love grows older
But I've felt it all before
Yesterday's over my shoulder
Ooh cos I can't take the hurt anymore
Can't take the hurt anymore
Ah ah can't take the hurt anymore
My love I found has lost it's crown
But I just can't leave it die
I fool myself and no one else
Cos I would if I could and I try
Can't take the hurt anymore
. . .

It's been so long you say you've had fun
And you've been happy with the things you've done
Now you feel strange and a little unreal
Well I can understand the way you feel
You're just a little in love just a little
You're just a little in love just a little
Well I can see what's happenin' to you
You feel alone but it's just not true
And there's one thing you oughta know ooh ooh
I need you so
I'm just a little in love just a little
I'm just a little in love just a little
You say you're willing to learn
You need a friend a friend who will help you
'Cos you're just a little in love woh yeah
A little in love you are a little in love
With someone - you're just like me
Like me you're a little in love woh yeah a little in love
You know sometime you look somewhere
You're not alone but there's no-one there
No-one to turn to
No-one to see
The way you're feelin' you're just like me
You're just a little in love just a little
You're just a little in love just a little
You say you're willing to learn
You need a friend a friend who will help you
'Cos you're just a little in love woh yeah

Like me you're in love...

The minute you're gone I cry
The minute you're gone I die
Before you walk out of sight
I'm like a child all alone at night
I stare into emptiness
I'm filled with such loneliness
The world goes from right to wrong
The minute you're gone
The minute you're gone
I see
How lonely a man I'll be
My life would be oh so blue
If i couldn't be with you
The Minute you're gone I pray
The minute you're gone I say
Please don't stay away too long
The minute you're gone
The minute you're gone

Visions of you in shades of blue
Smoking, shifting, lazily drifting,
My darling, I miss you so.
Time goes by, no wonder my
Senses go reeling, your eyes so appealing
I see the whole night through.
When will we meet again? When? When? When?
When will we meet again? When? When? When?
I remember the days, beautiful days
Tenderly gleaming, my whole life seeming
To start and end with you.

We turned water into wine but that didn't last
We were the victims of our age
Now we live on different floors
And go our separate ways
And talk behind closed doors
We changed our world waiting for it all to end
It's such a shame but who's to blame
When two worlds drift apart
We used to sit around the fire
And whisper words the world outside would make no claim to hear
But now we talk an octave higher
In droning tones that don't relate at all to yester year
We changed our world waiting for it all to end
It's such a shame but who's to blame
When two worlds drift apart
Do you remember when we were seventeen
We took a boat out for an hour
But we preferred the greenery to the scenery of the sea
And tied up in some cosy cove
Till harbour lights appeared across the bay
Into love and out of mind
A poet claimed that loving you has only made me blind
But love is really crystal clear
It's only when you need someone the clouds will soon appear
We changed our world waiting for it all to end
It's such a shame but who's to blame
When two worlds drift apart
Do you remember when laughter was the cure
For all the hard times that we knew
But we forgot to feed the fire - let it all burn down
Warmth returns to cold and poison into pain
It's such a shame but who's to blame
When two worlds drift apart
Remember.....(remember)

They say I'll love again someday
a truer love will come my way the next time
But after you there'll never be a next time for me
They say that I'll find happiness
in someone else's warm caress the next time
I'll soon forget your kiss and heartaches such as this
will just be ancient history.
They say that I'm a fool to weep
that I won't go on losing sleep the next time
And someone else will mend the heart you've broken in two.
(But) How can I fall in love the next time?
When I'm still so very much in love with you.
They say that I'm a fool to weep
that I won't go on losing sleep the next time
And someone else will mend the heart you've broken in two.
(Oh) How can I fall in love the next time?
When I'm still so very much in love with you.

Many a tear has to fall
But it's all, in the game
All in the wonderful game
That we know as love
You have words with him
And your future's looking dim
But these things
Your heart can rise above
Once in a while he won't call
But it's all, in the game
Soon he'll be there at your side
With a sweet bouquet
And he'll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting finger tips
And your heart will fly away
Once in a while he won't call
But it's all in the game
Soon he'll be there at your side
With a sweet bouquet
And then he'll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting finger tips
And your heart will fly away
And your heart will fly fly away
And your heart will fly away

If some guy tells you, I don’t care
And tells you lies while I’m not there
Don’t talk to him
If he tells you, I’m untrue
Then darling, here what you must do
Don’t talk to him
And if he tells you I’ve been seen
Walking ‘round with Sue and Jean
He’s lying again (lying again)
Do anything that you want to
But darling, this I beg of you
Don’t talk to him
If you hear the words he has to say
He’ll break your heart
Let your love for me prove strong
While we are far apart
So just remember what’d I say
(And) Trust in me while I’m away for I’ll be true
And just remember my true love is
Brighter than the moon above for only you
And if this guy should try to say
My love for you is only plain
Nearly a wind (nearly a wind)
Just close your eyes and count to ten
And think of me again
But don’t you talk to him
(instrumental break)
And if this guy should try to say
My love for you is only plain
Nearly a wind (nearly a wind)
Just close your eyes and count to ten
And think of me again
But don’t you talk to him
If you hear the words he has to say
He’ll break your heart
Let your love for me prove strong
While we are far apart
So just remember what’d I say
Trust in me while I’m away for I’ll be true
And just remember my true love is
Brighter than the moon above for only you
And if this guy should try to say
My love for you is only plain
Nearly a wind (nearly a wind)
Just close your eyes, count to ten
And think of me again
But don’t you talk to him

When the girl in your arms
Is the girl in you heart
Then you have got everything
When you are holding the dream
You've been dreaming you would hold
You're as rich as a king
So hold her tight
And never let her go
Day and night let her know
You love her so
With the love of your life
Spend the lifetime of love
Make her yours for evermore
So hold her tight
And never let her go
Day and night let her know
You love her so
With the love of your life
Spend the lifetime of love
Make her yours for evermore
Make her yours for evermore

You are my theme for a dream
Yes you are, a rare and lovely theme (You're a theme for a dream)
The dreams I dream day and night
That your arms are holding me so tight (You're a theme for a dream)
When I dream I kiss you (kiss you)
Music fills with starlight (starlight)
Every time I touch you (when I touch you)
Each and every time a chime rings out I love you
Only you forever more
'Cause you're my theme for a dream
Yes you are a rare and lovely theme (You're my theme for a dream)
So, angel please say that you love me too
And make my dreams come true (you're my theme for a dream)
When I dream I kiss you (kiss you)
Music fills with starlight (starlight)
Every time I touch you (when I touch you)
Each and every time a chime rings out I love you
Only you for ever more
'Cause you're my theme for a dream
Yes you are a rare and lovely theme (You're my theme for a dream)
So, angel please say that you love me too
And make my dreams come true
And make my dreams come true
Please make my dreams come true.

Fall in love, fall in love, fall in love with you
Fall in love, fall in love, fall in love with you
Fallin’ in love again, fallin’ in love again
Why couldn’t I, why shouldn’t I fall in love with you
Why must you lead your heart and keep we two apart
Why couldn’t I, why shouldn’t I fall in love with you
Mm mm, mm mm
Don’t tell me, I know
It’s late, our date

Please, give me one more chance, this is my first romance
Why couldn’t I, why shouldn’t I fall in love with you
(Fall, Fall, Fall)
Mm mm, mm mm

Fall in love, fall in love, fall in love with you
Fall in love, fall in love, fall in love with you

Used to think that life was sweet
Used to think we were so complete
I can't believe you'd throw it away
Used to feel we had it made
Used to feel we could sail away
Can you imagine how I feel today?
Well, it seems a long time ago you were the lonely one
Now it comes to letting go you are the only one
Do you know what you've done?
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore
It's so funny why we don't talk anymore
But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore
Well, it really doesn't matter to me
I guess your leaving was meant to be
It's down to you now you wanna be free
Well, I hope you know which way to go
You're on your own again
And don't come crying to me when you're the lonely one
Remember what you've done
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore
It's so funny why we don't talk anymore
But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore
