----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why can't our love go on forever?
To let it end would surely be a sin
I could never look for any other love, dear
#01)
If I had forever
With nothing else to do
I don't know if I could show
Half my love for you
#02)
If you resist
Look what you miss
Baby, if it's late at night (nighty-night)
Or if the sun is shinin' bright (brighty-bright)
#03)
I still hear your sea winds blowin'
I still see her dark eyes glowin'
She was twenty-one
#04)
Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind
Had to get away to see what we could find
#05)
Before we say we're in love
Are we right for each other?
Can what we feel be lasting love?
#06)
It'll take time, I know it
But in a while
You're gonna be mine, I know it
We'll do it in style
#07)
She smiles so nice like she wants to come with me, uh-huh
But she's tied to the dock and she can't get free
#08)
They know the hurt and pain
Of losing a love you can never regain
#09)
If she finds that I've been 'round to see you
Tell her that I'm well and feeling fine
#10)
Sometimes she'd shop
And she would show me what she'd bought
#11)
How long can I go on amusing myself?
Night after night, sitting all alone
While you're in the arms of someone else
#12)
Just tuned my car, now she really peels
A-lookin' real tough with chrome reverse wheels
A Blue Coral wax job sure looks pretty
#13)
And he plays at stocks and shares
And he goes to the regatta
He adores the girl next door
'Cause he's dying to get at her
#14)
Why did I listen to my friends
When they told me what to do?
Yes, I still have my friends
But I don't have you
#15)
There I found an angel
An angel I could love
She told me that she knew me
That I'd been spoken of
#16)
If I gathered all my means (all my means)
In a pile beside me (in a pile)
It couldn't help to fill my dreams (fill my dreams)
#17)
My mother once told me something
And every word is true
Don't waste your time on a fella
Who doesn't love you
#18)
Except to pray
That there'll come a day
When love will start
A flame in your heart
#19)
I play the game
Pretending out loud
But it don't seem the same
#20)
Let's make a vow
To never, ever part
#21)
For here in my arms is your place
When the night grows cold
And I want to hold you
#22)
I'm gonna buy her pretty presents
Just like the ones in a catalog
Gonna show how much I love her
Let her know one way or the other
#23)
Made my heart an open book
Why haven't I told you?
#24)
Every time I feel a little groove coming on, I just have to move
I got a tune I play
I got a song I sing
I got a dance I do, yeah-yeah
You can do it, too
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
It's the big house on the corner
The rich and the poor go there
You get a chance to mix with everybody
Nobody seems to care
#T1)
Well now, listen here people
'Bout to sing a song
I'm goin' to St. Louis
And I won't be long
#T2)
