Some Romantic Afternoon
Some Romantic Afternoon
I will hear that haunting tune
The one that I would softly croon
By a lagoon
We'd go sailing to Cadiz
For a while it seemed like bliss
Now it all seems just a myth
Like Brigadoon
Took a boat to southern Spain
Just to see her face again
She had gone forever
Not to return there
I could not control the tears
How they burned my eyes
As I looked back at those lost years
Some Romantic Afternoon
I will hear that haunting tune
The one that I would softly croon
By a lagoon.
Oh My My My (Call the FBI)
Couldn't believe my peepers
When I first saw you
Couldn't believe the beauty
Of your baby blues
I knew I had to ask you if you'd
Like to dance
I knew I had to take heart and to
Take that chance
First you resisted me you said
You couldn't leave
Your friends alone
But after our first dance you said
You thought they would be
OK to find their own way home
Oh my my my
Call the FBI
I think I lost my pride
I think I found my bride
Couldn't believe I'd ever
Find a girl like you
Couldn't believe we'd bond
As if by Superglue
I knew I had such tender feelings
In my heart
I knew that I could fix it so we'd
Never part
First you resisted me you said
You weren't ready
To fall in love
But after our first dance you said
You thought you'd give
This crazy swain another chance
Oh my my my
Call the FBI
I think I lost my pride
I think I found my bride.
For More than a Million Dreams
Keep on chipping
Right away at my heart
Because you touched it
Right from the start
If you were to leave me
And then
We were to part
It would really tear me apart
Don't stop now,
Darling you're getting to me
Don't quit now
That you're ahead
Don't stop now
You've made an impression on me
Now there's no getting you out of my head.
Keep on tearing
All my defences down
Because I feel that
They're all going to fall
Keep on keeping up with
All of your charms
Because I feel
I'm going to give you my all
Don't stop now,
You lit such a fire in me
Don't quit now
Because that would be cruel
Don't stop now
Darling, don't tire of me
I'd feel such a fool and so confused
You're the one
I have longed for you
For more than a million dreams
You're the one
I have been strong for you
You don't know how hard it's been
Don't stop now,
Darling you're getting to me
Don't quit now
That you're ahead
Don't stop now.
Melancholy Girl
Melancholy Girl
With your pre-Raphaelite curls
You don't seem quite of this world
Such a strange and a sad-eyed girl
What happened to your smile
How came you to be so full of guile
Your eyes seem to stare for miles
For such a sweet and a tender child
There's someone you've got to meet
The truth can set you free
Eternally
Enigmatic babe
The way you live is a shame
Life is more than a game
Freedom's found in just one name
I'd like to show you another way
Where the dark can't harm you
Night or day
Melancholy Girl,
With your pre-Raphaelite curls
You don't seem quite of this world
Such a strange and a sad-eyed girl.
My Travels
My travels start
Right here
Deep in my mind
My travels take me just where
I please I don't have
To leave my warm room
My travels start
Sixteen sun
Beating down
Sinatra's crooning Jobim
And I'm just dreaming of my
Great romance to come
I don't need a little ticket
Tells me I can take the train
I don't even to risk it
There's no blistering sun
Or driving rain
And it's here that I remain
My travels end
With a sweet
And peaceful time
I've found such sense deep within
No more will I feel
The need to go travelling again.
