----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Should've seen her eyes when the band began to play
And the famous singers sang and bowed away
When the star performed she screamed and yelled "hooray"
#01)
Every time we kiss, I get that feelin'
Every time we simply meet
When I see her smile, I get that feelin'
'Cause my baby looks so sweet
#02)
But I tell you, he really knocked me dead
So I don't quite remember exactly what he said
I just stood there and I shook my head
#03)
Sweeter than wine
Softer than the summer night
Everything I want, I have
Whenever I hold you tight
#04)
Oh love, oh love, oh love (oh love)
Why you wanna go away and leave me here to cry?
When you knew that I would miss you
But oh baby, if you please, please come back to me
I apologize if I ever made you cry
#05)
He's light and fragile, and feathered sky blue
So thin and graceful, the sun shines through
#06)
All the thrills I had missed
Shone bright in your eyes
Then softly we kissed
What a sweet surprise
#07)
Oh, squeeze her real gentle
Gotta make her feel good
Tell her that you love her
Like you know you should
#08)
I found I couldn't sleep at night
And when I found her gone from sight
Found out I loved her
#09)
Well, I'm too old for girls and I'm too young for women
I've looked all around, and my hopes are a-dimmin'
I feel like a fish not allowed any swimmin'
#10)
I thought I'd grow up gracefully
I'd understand my woman thoroughly
But the more I see (but the more I see)
The more I see there is to see, there is to see
#11)
One night with you is like heaven
And so, while I'm walkin' the floor
I listen for steps in the hallway
And wait for your knock on my door
#12)
Reasoned verse, some prose or rhyme
Lose themselves in other times
And waiting hopes cast silent spells
That speak in clouded clues
It cannot be a part of me
For now it's part of you
#13)
Now that you set me free
There's no regret for me
There's someone new
In place of you
#14)
My only desire
Is loving you eternally
For no, no other love
Could ever mean so much to me
#15)
Baby, baby, when you do the fly
Your arms are wasted waving in the sky
Come on and hold me like a lover should
#16)
A heart is just a heart
Nothing more, nothing less, just a heart
Until the day that love comes to stay forever
#17)
Every night, I'll pound the pillow
Feeling weepy as a willow
When my room is cold and still, oh
How I yearn for your return
#18)
Make up some words that are all in rhyme
Words that will live 'til the end of time
#19)
Every time your lips meet mine, now, baby
Baby, baby, you bring much joy within
Don't let this feeling end
Let it go on and on and on, now, baby
#20)
Last night and night before
Twenty-four robbers at my door
I got up and let 'em in
Hit 'em in the head with a rolling pin
#21)
There are times in this life of mine
I think that the sun forgot how to shine
But as long as you're always there
It don't bother me, 'cause why should I care
#22)
He walks by my side and I dance on air
I find he's a kind of a special guy (my heart can't be wrong)
I kiss him and I know why (my life is a song)
He's so marvelous, no one can compare
#23)
Looked at them start to block this house
Somebody hollered, hey boy I heard you rock!
Police is standin' at the door
People see 'em dancin' all over the floor
#24)
Ah, when we said goodbye, love
Was it just a game, yeah?
When I gave you my love
Was it all in vain?
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
I loved you in the morning
Our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow
Like a sleepy golden storm
#T1)
We might as well be apart
It hardly matters, we sleep separately
And drop a smile passin' in the hall
But there's no laughs left, 'cause we laughed 'em all
#T2)
