unknown

Poured the goldfish bowl into daddy's hat
Then i painted stripes down the family cat
Broke two teeth only yesterday
I'm the angel in the christmas play
In department stores, 'do it just because
Pull the whiskers off of the san-tee claus
Bite his leg!... then i got away
I'm the angel in the chrismas play
Daddy laughs, he bends in half
When i wear angel hair
But wait until he takes a spill
On halos on the stairs
Well i gotta go before the mailman stops
And he feels that glue in the letter box
See you all when its christmas day
I'm the angel in the christmas play
I put on my angel gown
And oh did momma laugh
She didn't guess it was her best dress...
The one you tore in half
On the roof today, gave 'em all a scare
I put on my wings, tried to fly thru air
Hope that lump's gonna go away
I'm the angel in the christmas play
I'm the angel in the christmas play

Instrumental

Oh, i wonder, wonder who

But who knew who

Who wrote the book of love

Tell me, tell me, tell me

Who wrote the book of love

Well, i've got to know the answer

Is it someone from above

Oh, i wonder, wonder who

But who knew who

Who wrote the book of love



Baby, baby, baby

I love you, yes i do

And it says so in this book of love

That i'm the one that's true

Oh, i wonder, wonder who

But who knew who

Who wrote the book of love



Chapter one says you love her

You love her with all your heart

Chapter two says you'll never

You never, never... never gonna part

Chapter tree, remember

The meaning of romance

In chapter four you break up

Oh, won't you give me just one more chance



Oh, i wonder, wonder who

But who knew who

Who wrote the book of love



I wonder who

Who wrote the book of love

Say yeah!

Tossed and turned all night

Dreams in black and white

My want has turned to need

There's only one way this can lead



You've got me walking on the edge

With silent things your lips have said

You've gotta bend before i break

There's more to love than what we make



(*) up & down ring around the roses

You move in close i come undone

How long till you ever know it

Till you see that i'm the one



(**) say yeah!

C'mon baby make your move

Say yeah!

It's time we call it love

Say yeah!

You don't need nobody else

Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!



Comes a time when you've got

To trust your heart

Cause down the line somebody blows

Your cool apart

You've got that look upon your face

Written dreams you can't erase

So don't go telling lies

We've got the answers in our eyes



Repeat (*)

Repeat (**)

You know i can't smile without you

I can't smile without you

I can't laugh, and i can't walk

I'm findin' it hard even to talk

And i feel sad when you're sad

I feel glad when you're glad

And you must know what i'm goin' thru

I just can't smile, without you



You came along just like a song

You brightened my day

Who'd believe you were part of a dream

That only seemed light years away



And you know i can't smile without you

I can't smile without you

And you must know what i'm goin' thru

I just can't smile, without you



Some people say the happiness wave

Is somethin' that's hard to find

Into the new leavin' the old behind me

And i feel sad when you're sad

I feel glad when you're glad

And you must know what i'm goin' thru

I just can't smile, without you



And i feel sad when you're sad

I feel glad when you're glad

And you must know what i'm goin' thru

I just can't smile, without you



You must know what i'm goin' thru

I just can't smile, without you

There's always one of the girls that all

The guys dream about

And you hold her in your heart

Imagining how you'll work it out

So you meet her ev'ry place you can devise

'cause from the start you knew

The one she wants is you



I know it's right when it comes as easy

As apple pie

When you just can't do it wrong

She's going for ev'rything you try

If she chose you over all those other guys

It must be luck or simply fate

But it's sure worth the wait



That's the way i feel about it
And theres no one who should ever doubt it
You can't stop a star
When love is on the rise



That's what i believe

Love could be 'round the corner

All you've got to do is dream

And never compromise

That's what i believe



I found the world in my arms the moment

I lost my heart

And the bond is much too strong for

Anyone else to put apart

So i cherish ev'ry moment that she's near

You see the best things in your lives

If you just close your eyes



That's the way i feel about it

And she maybe out there

Waiting just like you

'cause at the strangest time and place

You'll find you're face to face

That's the way i feel about it

Instrumental

They say we're to young to ever know a love

But your everything that i've been dreaming of

And i know you'll stay and i know you'll love me



They say before long you'll walk right out my door

But i know their wrong; you're mine forevermore

And i know you'll stay and i know you'll love me



When something's right you can feel it in your heart

Our love is right, and i know we'll never part



Many years will come and many years will go

And will show them all just how our love did grow

And i know you'll stay and i know you'll love me



Oh yes i know you'll stay and i know you'll love me

Some girls sit by the phone at home alone

Hopin' maybe you'll call

Not you, you'll break a date

You wouldn't wait at all



If i'm hard to handle (tell me 'bout it)

Here's my angle (think about it)

Takes two to tango and i ought to know



(*) who do you, who do you, who do you love?

Who do you, who do you, who do you love?

Who do you love?



Some girls do it right every night

And never ask for more

Not you, you know the score

You always ask what for



Where's the danger (tell me 'bout it)

We'll be strangers (think about it)

If it ever changes, i ought to know



Repeat (*)

Every night i get tired eyes

My feet don't reach the ground

Then i'm with you

I get by 'cause i know that you're near me

So baby close your eyes

I can sleep tonight

All because of you



Every night when the fire flies

The walls come tumblin' down at the bajou

I get by 'cause i know that you're near me

So baby close your eyes

I can sleep tonight

All because of you



I'll keep singin' my love song

In my mind i'll sing a song for you

You can see through the music

That's in my mind

So baby close your eyes

I can sleep tonight

All because of you

All because of you

All because of you

I wake up in the dark
Silence brings me to my senses
I wonder where you are
Then i feel a pain, a pain in my heart
Cause i'm living without your love
And i'm all alone for the first time
And it doesn't seem to be a dream
A dream that will be over



All the words you said
Weren't enough to fool this heartache
Memories in my head
Aren't enough to stop me falling apart
Cause i'm living without your love
And maybe it won't be the last time



I don't know how much more i can take
Hope is wide awake and here i go



(*) calling your name again
Thinking of all that we two had before
There's got to be more this i know
Calling your name again
Remembering all the love you gave to me
And how we used to be



I think of what's to come
Then i turn and see your picture
The tears begin to fall
And soon i can make sense of nothing at all
Cause i'm living without your love
Hoping that i'll make it this time



Something tells me this is not the end
Wish i could pretend but here i go



Repeat (*)

Hey now don't let your empty room ever get you down

You can fill the silence with a smile

And don't let the crowds on the street

Make you feel like you are just a stranger in town

If you feel happy,

Or if you wanna weep,

Or you wanna warm word before you sleep



Remember,

Good friends are forever

Good friends are forever

Good friends are for keeps



Good friends are forever

Good friends are forever

Good friends are for keeps

There was a certain face
That filled a thousand nights
With all the sweetest dreams and promises
Of paradise
But that face was gone
When the dawn would come and steal you
Yet i still could feel you
Waiting just a kiss away



I'd surely know your face
When love would cast its spell
I'd recognize each curve and line of you
I knew it well
Now at last you're here and i can tell



(*) something in your eyes i see
Is all i've ever wanted
(and) something in your smile for me
Is calling out my name
Your eyes it seems
Are mirrors of my dreams
In ways i can't explain
And my heart will never be the same



We never said a word
As if we'd always known
That through the bittersweet of waiting
We were not alone
Now we're close enough
For the touch of love to find us
Fantasies designed us
But they never really could
Begin to measure you
No pictures ever do
And as i watch you framed in sunlight
And a sky of blue
I know what my life's been leading to



Repeat (*)

I can be distant, like an echo in a canyon

I get resistant and i need your understanding

I don't know what happens, i get removed

I don't mean to fade out, but when i do



(*) remind me to tell you all the ways

That i need you

Remind me to tell you if somehow i forget to

How much i've come to rely

On the strength that i find in your eyes

If you feel me startin' to slide

Remind me to tell you



I can be vacant, like a schoolyard in the winter

I get complacent, my attention starts to splinter

Then from out of nowhere as i'm

Watching you sleep

I have so much to tell you

I guess it'll keep



Repeat (*)



We built the mosaic one piece at a time

Midnight is lavender morning is lime

Major attention to minor detail

You take it too lightly it's certain to fail

My fundamentals are sadly in need

Instead of advancing i tend to recede

I'll try to change but if i should start

Acting the same

Yeah...



Repeat (*)

I really don't mean to stare

I was only trying to memorize you there

You know i meant no harm

It's just that the starlight in your eye

Gave me a chill, nearly made me cry

I'm sure it's very clear



(*) i don't know what's goin' down

You're gonna ruin this poor girl from out of town

I like the way you move so much that



(**) i guess i just lost my head

I know we should really know much better

I guess i just lost my head

I know we don't really know each other

So pardon the things i said

Won't you tell me you'll forgive me



I don't mean to intrude

It's just that i don't want to break this mood

(don't want to break this mood here tonight)

And if i hold your hand it's just 'cause

There's something in the things you say

That wraps me up and really puts me away

But everybody knows



Repeat (*)

Repeat (**)

Repeat (*)



I guess i just lost my head

I know we should really know much better

I guess i just lost my head

(i've got the feeling inside)

I know we don't really know each other

(and i love you)

So pardon the things i said

(i need your loving tonight)

Won't you tell me you'll forgive me



Guess i lost it

Guess i lost it

I guess i just lost my head

(cause you've been making me crazy)

I know we should really know much better

I guess i just lost my head

I know we don't really know each other

So pardon the things i said

Won't you tell me you'll forgive me

Is she really going out with him?

Yeah, i don't know, there she is

Let's ask her

Betty? is that johnny's ring you're wearing?

Aha!

Wow, it must be great riding with him

Yeah, is he picking you up after school today?

A-a!

By the way, where'd you meet him?



I meet him at the candy store

He turned around and smiled at me

Do you get the picture?

Yes, we see

That's when i fell for the leader of the pack



My folks were always putting him down

(down, down)

The said that he came from

The wrong side of town

(wrong side of town)

They'd told me he was bad

But i know he was sad

That's why i fell for the leader of the pack



One day my dad said, find someone new

I had to tell my johnny we're through

He stood there and asked me why

But all i could do was cry

I'm sorry i hurt you, the leader of the pack



Well, he sort of smiled and kissed me goodly

And the tears began to fall

And as he drove away on that rainy night

I begged him to go slow

But whether he heard me i'll never know

Look out, look out, oh look out!



I felt so helpess, what could i do

Remembering all the things we'd been through

At school they'd all stop and stare

I can't have a chance but i don't care

I'll never forget him the leader of the pack...

The leader of the pack, now he's gone...

I remember the first time

I laid more than eyes on you

We've been in love for a long time

And i'm still in love with you



(*) i am so still in love with you

Will you always understand

I do not know what i would do

Without you



I'm in perpetual motion

And i am always on the move

You must have slipped me a potion babe

Cause i'm still in love with you



Repeat (*)



You don't leave me any reason

I don't need no alibies

So don't ask me no questions, babewon't hand you any lies



Repeat (*)



And you know that tomorrow

Will be different than to day

We beg, steal and borrow but

But we always stay the same



Repeat (*) twice

(from "the tonight show, 1978")



I'm nothing special, in fact i'm a bit of a bore

If i tell a joke you've probably heard it before

But i have a talent, a wonderful thing

'cause everyone listens when i start to sing

I'm so grateful and proud

All i want is to sing it out loud



(*) so i say

Thank you for the music, the songs i'm singing

Thanks for all the joy they're bringing

Who can live without it, i ask in all honesty

What would life be?

Without a song or a dance what are we?

So i say thank you for the music

For giving it to me



Mother says i was a dancer before i could walk

She says i began to sing long before i could talk

And i've often wondered, how did it all start?

Who found out that nothing can capture a heart

Like a melody can?

Well, whoever it was, i'm a fan



Repeat (*)



I've been so lucky, i am the girl with golden hair

I wanna sing it out to everybody

What a joy, what a life, what a chance!



Repeat (*)

You, you're driving me wild

You're making me fall in love

In love with you baby, i

I'm losing control

I don't wanna let go yet

Till you want me



You, you're all that i need

You're all that i want

And i'd sure love to love you, i

I gotta go slow

Keep it under control now

Till you want me



(*) but my body keeps changing my mind

Keeps changing my heart

When we're dancing

My body says love you tonight

To drive me out of my mind

When we're dancing



(**) well i know it wouldn't be right

To say take me home tonight

But when we get to dancing

When i see you dancing

When it comes to dancing



My body keeps changing my mind



You, it's you in my heart

It's you on my mind

And you just can't help it

I should give it some time

And wait for the right sign

That you want me



'cause

Repeat (*)



Repeat (**)

And we fly together across the floor

My heart's crying out for more

Cause i just can't resist you



Repeat (**)

You know

Repeat (*)
