I still remember how much I used to need you
Tried so hard to please you but you didn't need me
You knew I loved you knew I always would be there
You just did what you wanted you didn't care
All the cards were held by you
There was nothin' I could do
All those nights I sat alone starin' at the telephone
Wonderin' were you ever comin' home
Solitaire, it got so lonely
Solitaire, no one to hold me
Where were you when I played solitaire?
It took some time but I stopped thinkin' about you
Started livin' without you now look who's back here
You've had a change of heart, well, mine just couldn't wait, no no
You found out you loved me just a little too late
Once the cards were held by you
Now there's nothin' you can do
All those nights you sit alone starin' at the telephone
Wonderin' if I'm ever comin' home
Solitaire, see what it's like now
Solitaire, to cry all night now
Solitaire, see how it feels to play
Solitaire, it gets so lonely
Solitaire, you wanna hold me
Don't wait up, 'cos babe, I won't be there
Solitaire, solitaire, solitaire
Solitaire, see what it's like now
Solitaire, to cry all night now
Solitaire, see how it feels to play
Solitaire, it gets so lonely
Solitaire, you wanna hold me
Don't wait up, 'cos babe, I won't be there
Solitaire
There you go
Flashing fire from your eyes
Hey baby, come over here and shut them tight
I'm not denying
We're flying above it all
Hold my hand, don't let me fall
I'm lost in your embrace
I never felt this way...
Show me heaven
Cover me
Leave me breathless
Show me heaven please
Here I go
I'm shaking just like the breeze
Hey baby I need your hand to steady me
I'm not denying
I'm frightened as much as you
Though I'm barely touching you
I've shivers down my spine
And it feels divine
Show me heaven
Cover me
Leave me breathless
Show me heaven please
If you know what like
To dream a dream
Baby hold me tight
And let this be
Show me heaven...
Ti amo
God how I love you so
My heart just won't let go
Day after day I'm still holdin' on
Even though you're gone
Ti amo
Wasn't I good to you?
I did all that I could do
To make you want to be here with me
I thought you loved me
I can't believe you could just turn and leave
Did it so easily
You pulled my world out from under me
Look what you've done to me
How could you end it this way
After the love that we made?
God, how I wish you had stayed
Can't you see that I just want you back?
Ti amo
I never had a clue that I was losin' you
You never once let me know you were lettin' me go
Oh, I guess it was there in your eyes
Guess it was there in your sighs
Guess it was there in your lies
I was blind then
Couldn't face the end
Ti amo
Thought we'd go on and on
Thought we had something strong
You pulled my world out from under me
Look what you've done to me
How could you end it this way
After the love that we made?
God, how I wish you had stayed
Can't you see that I just want you back?
Ti amo
God how I love you so
My heart just won't let go
Day after day I'm still holdin' on
Even though you're gone
Guess it was there in your eyes
Guess it was there in your sighs
Guess it was there in your lies
I was blind then
Couldn't face the end
Ti amo
Thought we'd go on and on
Thought we had something strong
You pulled my world out from under me
Look what you've done to me
How could you end it this way
After the love that we made?
God, how I wish you had stayed
Can't you see that I just want you back?
Ti amo
wasn't I good to you?
Did all that I could do
To make you want to be here with me
I thought you loved me
I can't believe you could just turn and leave
Did it so easily
You pulled my world out from under me
Look what you've done to me
Ti amo
God how I love you so
My heart just won't let go
Day after day I'm still holdin' on
Even though you're gone...
There was heat in the air
And cops everywhere you looked
There wasn't a lot
So the breaks that you got you know you took
And I remember wonderin' where you'd been
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
They were playin' "Desolation Row" on the radio
The night Spanish Eddie fell from grace
There was amazement on his face
On the night that Eddie failed sanity prevailed
It was June or July
When the heat from above beat down
It was famine or drought
When the brothers went out of style uptown
And we was mixin' Vicks with lemon gin
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
They were playin "Desolation Row" on the radio
The night Spanish Eddie made front page
His revolution came of age
He wrote "Surrender" on the wall
The night he took the fall
I heard someone say "He's tryin' to fly"
Like Eddie used to say "We'll do when we die"
I know someone turned you for a spin
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
They were playin' "Desolation Row" on the radio
The night Spanish Eddie fell from grace
There was amazement on his face
On the night that Eddie failed sanity prevailed
The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now
As I look in your eyes
I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender now
A love that I could not forsake
'Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can
Even though there may be times
I seem so far away
Don't ever wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side
I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can
We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
About the power of love
The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear so suddenly
The feeling that I can't go on
Is so far away
'Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
About the power of love...
Sitting in La Casolette
The same place we first met
Trying to talk it out before the fall
You look the other way
I struggle for the words to say
Feels like I'm talking to the wall
I can here them play our song
But somehow it sounds all wrong
In a lost romance, dancing a lonely dance
With a heart that doesn't beat as much
Fingers that have lost their touch
Looking into eyes that just don't see
We dance a little out of time
I laugh when I feel like crying
Is there anybody here but me
Two silhouettes in the dark
So close, so far apart
Going through the motions of the past
The night is coming to an end
It's getting harder to pretend
But still we try to keep this love alive
With a heart that doesn't beat as much
Fingers that have lost their touch
Looking into eyes that just don't see
We dance a little out of time
I laugh when I feel like crying
Is there anybody here but me
Never dreamed what we started could end like this
Lovers saying goodbye with a strangers kiss
With a heart that doesn't beat as much
Fingers that have lost their touch
Looking into eyes that just don't see
We dance a little out of time
I laugh when I feel like crying
Is there anybody here but me
Dim all the lights sweet darling
'Cause tonight it's all the way
Turn up the old victrola gonna dance the night away
Love it don't come easy
No it seldom does
When you find the perfect love
Let it fill you up
Dim all the lights sweet darling
'Cause tonight it's all the way
Hey baby
Turn up the old victrola gonna dance the night away
Love just don't come easy
No it seldom does
When you find the perfect love
Let it fill you up
Dim all the light sweet honey
'Cause tonight it's you and me
No need to worry darlin' cause it's for eternity
Love it don't come easy
This you know I understand
Want to be your woman
If you'll be my man
Let yourself go freely
And I'll show you things that you've dreamed of
Don't think that your dreaming
'Cause we've found the perfect love
And I'm like a cup so fill me up
Dim all the lights sweet darlin'
'Cause tonight it's all the way
Turn up the old victrola gonna dance the night away
Do what you want
You can use me all up
Take me bottom to top
Don't leave even one drop
No, no, no
Do it tonight
You know the moments are right
Baby don't you leave one bite
Come on dim all the lights
Dim all the lights sweet darlin'
Cause the night it's all the way
Turn up the old victrola gonna steal your heart away
Dim all the lights sweet darlin'
Dim all, dim all and dance the night away
All the lights...
I could hardly believe it
When I heard the news today
I had to come and get it straight from you
They said you were leaving
Someone swept your heart away
From the look upon your face I see it's true
So tell me all about it
Tell me about the plans you're makin'
Then tell me one thing more before I go
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone
Didn't come here for cryin'
Didn't come here to break down
It's just a dream of mine is comin' to an end
How can I blame you
When I built my world around
The hope that one day
We'd be so much more than friends
And I don't wanna know
The price I'm gonna pay for dreamin'
I need you now
It's more than I can take
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone
And I don't wanna know
The price I'm gonna pay for dreamin'
Now that your dream has come true
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been loving you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
All that I've been livin' for is gone
Without you
After I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for... is gone
I don't lose my breath
When I hear a step on the stairway
And my heart doesn't stop
When I hear a knock at my door
I say to myself it's just some old friend of mine
I don't think for a moment, boy
That you've changed your mind
I'm over you
I'm finally over you
Just like you've gotten over me
Just like you did so easily
I'm over you
This time I'm over you
I really don't care what you do
Just don't tell yourself
I'm still in love with you
Things have fallen in place
And there's hardly a trace of you anywhere
I've got too much to do
To be thinking of you coming home
And I don't expect that your turn will come to cry
'Cause after all, baby
It was you who said goodbye
I'm over you
This time I'm really over you
Just like you've gotten over me
Just like you did so easily
I'm over you
This time I'm really over you
I really don't care what you do
Just don't tell yourself
I'm still in love with you
I'm over you
This time I'm really over you
I don't give a damn what you do
Just don't tell yourself
I'm still in love with you
This time I'm over you
I swear I'm really over you
I really don't care what you do
Just don't tell yourself
I'm still in love with you
You can break away or you can stay
You choose your life
You're free to fly
Go on and fly
Go on and fly
She had it in her all the time
To get away and try to find
Somewhere to go, to run
She saw the world through open eyes
And never let a soul inside
Don't come too close, so close
Baby thinks she's smart, but what about her heart?
Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night
You can take what you want and you don't think twice
'Cause the world's in your hands you got all you want
And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Her soul was strong, her heart was tough
And when she felt she had enough
She tore herself away
Love in the dark is all you see
Get what you want, not what you need
You look the other way
Never letting on what it's all become
Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night
You can take what you want and you don't think twice
'Cause the world's in your hands and you've got all you want
And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Life is a dream, the lucky one, the lucky one, the lucky one
Oh, life is a dream, the lucky one
Life is a dream, the lucky one, the lucky one
Baby thinks she's smart, but what about her heart?
Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night
You can take what you want and you don't think twice
'cos the world's in your hands and you've got all you want
And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one...
Through the back window of our '59 wagon
I watched my best friend Jamie slipping further away
I kept on waving till I couldn't see her
And through my tears I asked again why we couldn't stay
Mama whispered softly "Time will ease your pain"
"Life's about changing nothing ever stays the same"
And she said
"How can I help you to say goodbye"
"It's okay to hurt and it's okay to cry"
"Come let me hold you and I will try"
"How can I help you to say goodbye"
I sat on our bed he packed his suitcase
I held a picture of our wedding day
His hands were trembling we both were crying
He kissed me gently and then he quickly walked away
I called up mama she said "Time will ease your pain"
"Life's about changing nothing ever stays the same"
And she said
"How can I help you to say goodbye"
"It's okay to hurt and it's okay to cry"
"Come let me hold you and I will try"
"How can I help you to say goodbye"
Sitting with mama alone in her bedroom
She opened her eyes and then squeezed my hand
She said "I have to go now my time here is over"
And with her final words she tried to help me understand
Mama whispered softly "Time will ease your pain"
"Life's about changing nothing ever stays the same"
And she said
"How can I help you to say goodbye"
"It's okay to hurt and it's okay to cry"
"Come let me hold you and I will try"
"How can I help you to say goodbye"
Oh the night is my world
City light painted girls
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
In the night no control
Through the wall something breaking
Wearing white as you're walking
Down the street of my soul
You take myself you take my self control
You got me living only for the night
Before the morning comes
A story's told
You take myself you take my self control
Another night, another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You help me to forget to play my role
You take myself you take my self control
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow
So I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes
I say night I'm living in the forest of my dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something
So I'll make myself believe it
That this night will never go
Ohoho, ohoho,ohoho, ohoho Ohoho...
Oh the night is my world
City light painted girls
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight...
Against a new tomorrow
So I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never knows
I say night I'm living in the forest of my dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something
So I'll make myself believe it
That this night will never go
Ohoho, ohoho, ohoho, ohoho Ohoho...
You take my self, you take my self control
Gloria
You're always on the run now
Runnin' after somebody
You've gotta get him somehow
I think you've got to slow down
Before you start to blow it
I think you're headin' for a breakdown
So be careful not to show it
You really don't remember
Was it something that he said?
All the voices in your head calling, Gloria
Gloria
Don't you think you're falling?
If everybody wants you
Why isn't anybody calling?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hanging on the line
Calling Gloria
Gloria
I think they got your number
I think they got the alias
That you've been living under
But you really don't remember
Was it something that they said?
All the voices in your head calling, Gloria
Gloria
How's it gonna go down?
Will you meet him on the main line?
Or will you catch him on the rebound?
Will you marry for the money?
Take a lover in the afternoon?
Feel your innocence slipping away
Don't believe it's coming back soon
And you really don't remember
Was it something that he said?
All the voices in your head calling, Gloria
Gloria
Don't you think you're falling?
If everybody wants you
Why isn't anybody calling?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hanging on the line
Calling Gloria
Gloria
I think they got your number
I think they got the alias
That you've been living under
But you really don't remember
Was it something that they said?
All the voices in your head calling, Gloria
