Midnight not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan

Memory, All alone in the moonlight
I can dream of the old days
Life was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

Every streetlamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters
And soon
It will be morning

Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in.
When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin

(Music interlude)

Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
A streetlamp dies; another night is over
Another day is dawning...

Touch me!
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun...
If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun.

. . .


Barbara
You don't bring me flowers
You don't sing me love songs
Neil
You hardly talk to me anymore
When I come through the door at the end of the day...
Barbara
I remember when you couldn't wait to love me
Used to hate to leave me
Now after loving me late at night
Neil
When it's good for you, babe
And you're feeling all right
Barbara
When you just roll over and turn out the light...
And you don't bring me flowers anymore
Neil
It used to be so natural
Barbara
It used to be...
Neil
To talk about forever
Barbara
Mmm...
Neil
But used-to-bes don't count anymore
They just lay on the floor
Till we sweep them away
Barbara
And baby I remember all the things you taught me
Neil
I learned how to laugh and I learned how to cry
Barbra
Well, I learned how to love and I learned how to lie
Neil
So you think I could learn how to tell you goodbye
Barbara
So you think I could learn how to tell you goodbye
You don't bring me flowers any more...
Both
Well, you think I could learn how to tell you goodbye...
Neil
?Cause you don?t say you need me;
Barbara
You don't sing me love songs;
Both
You don't bring me flowers anymore...

I got the feelin' the feelin's gone
My heart has gone to sleep
One of these mornin's I'll be gone
My heart belongs to me.

Can we believe in fairytales?
Can love survive when all else fails?
Can't hide the feelin' the feelin's gone
My heart belongs to me.

But now my love, hey didn't I love you
But we knew what had to be
Somehow my love, I'll always love you
But my heart belongs to me.

Put out the light and close your eyes
Come lie beside me
Don't ask why.
Can't hide the feelin' the feelin's gone
My heart belongs to me.

(girls)
But now my love, hey didn't I love you
Didn't I love you
Didn't I love you
Didn't I love you, baby.

Don't cry my love
I'll always love you
But my heart belongs to me.

I got the feelin' the feelin's gone
My heart belongs to me.

(Didn't I love you, didn't I love you).

Wet is rain
Rain is clean and new
New is the morning
And morning dew
Wet is a kiss that touches you
Wet is sea
Sea is mysterious blue
Blue is for sadness
And sad is for crying
Tears are wet too
Would you share these things with me
Dance in the rain
Drift with the sea
And let the tears fall as they wade
Sometimes


I'm not afraid of melt in the rain
I'm not afraid to be lost at see
I'm not afraid to cry again
Because it's tears of joy
You bring to me
Would you share these things with me
Dance in the rain
Drift with the sea
And let the tears fall as they wade
Sometimes
Wet is love
Love that's flowing free
Free is the feeling I feel deep inside me
Come and see that wet is me...

. . .


Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to miami beach or to hollywood
But I'm takin' a greyhound
On the hudson river line
I'm in a new york state of mind
Seen all those movie stars
And their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the rockies, under the evergreens
But I know what I'm needin'
And I don't wanna waste more time
I'm in a new york state of mind
It was so easy livin' day by day


Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The new york times and the daily news
Comes down to reality
And it's fine with me cause I've let it slide
I don't care if it's chinatown or up on riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a new york state of mind
I don't have any reasons
Cause left them all behind
I'm in a new york, I'm in a new york state of mind...

. . .


I'll tell you a story
'bout a man that I loved
He lives in the sky
In the clouds above
He knows every river
Every mountain and stream
He's a gentleman, I tell you,
That lives in my dream
If you don' t believe
What I say is true
Maybe someday he will happen to you
It's like he's always watching over me
I do believe in magic
When it's plain to see
If you don't believe
What I say is true
Maybe someday he will happen to you


Softly he whispers into my ear
The dream is over, but I don't wanna hear
No, no, no, no
Softly he whispers into my ear
The dream is over, but I don't wanna hear
So, take me, i' m lonely
Take me in your dreams
Please don't leave me waiting here
As long as it seems
If you don't believe
What I say is true
Maybe, baby, someday he will happen to you
Softly he whispers into my ear
The dream is over, but I don't wanna hear
But I don't wanna hear...i don't wanna hear
I don't wanna...i don't wanna hear...

(Barbra:)
It's raining, it's pouring
My lovelife is boring me to tears
After all these years

(Donna:)
No sunshine
No moonlight
No stardust
No sign of romance
We don't stand a chance

(Barbra:)
I've always dreamed
I found the perfect lover
But he turned out to be
Like every other man
Our love, our love

(Both:)
Raining (raining)
Pouring (pouring)
There's nothing left for us here
And we won't waste another tear

(Donna:)
If you've had enough
Don't put up with his stuff
Don't you do it

(Barbra:)
If you've had your fill
Gt the check pay the bill
You can do it

(Donna:)
Tell him to just get out

(Barbra:)
Nothing left to talk about

(Donna:)
Pack his raincoat show him out

(Both:)
Just look him in the eye
And simply shout:
Enough is enough
I can't go on,
I can't go on
No more no
Enough is enough
I want him out,
I want him out
That door now

Enough is enough
Enough is enough
That's enough

(Donna:)
If you've reached the end,
Don't pretend that is right
When it's over

(Barbra:)
(It's over)
If the feeling is gone
Don't think twice
Just move on
Get it over

(Donna:)
(Over, over)

(Both:)
Tell him to just get out,
Say it clearly,
Spell it out
Enough is enough is enough
I can't go on,
I can't go on
No more no
Enough is enough is enough
I want him out,
I want him out
That door now

Enough is enough
Enough is enough
That's enough

(Barbra:)
I've always dreamed
To find the perfect lover,
But he turns out to be
Like every other man
Our love
(I had no choice from the start)
Our love
(I've gotta listen to my heart)
Our love
(Tearing us apart)

Enough is enough is enough
I can't go on,
I can't go on
No more no
Enough is enough is enough
I want him out,
I want him out
That door now

Enough is enough
Enough is enough
That's enough

(Both:)
No more tears
(No more tears)
No more tears
(No more tears)
No more tears
(No more tears)
No more tears
(No more tears)
Enough is enough
Is enough is enough
Is enough is enough
I've had it
you've had it
He's had it,
We've had is

(Donna:)
I always dreamed
I find the perfect lover,

(Barbra:)
But he turned out to be
like every other man

(Both:)
I had no choice from the start
I've gotta listen to my heart
Tearing us apart

Enough is enough is enough
I can't go on
I can't go on
No more no
Enough is enough is enough
I want him out
I want him out
That door now

Goodbye mister
Goodbye, goodbye mister
Goodbye sugar

It's raining
It's pouring
There's nothing left
For us here
And we won't waist
Another tear

No more tears
Is enough is enough
Is enough is enough
Is enough is enough
Is enough is enough!

. . .


I still can remember
The last time I cried
I was holding you and loving you
Knowing it would end

I never felt so good
Yet felt so bad
You're the one I love
And what makes it sad
Is you don't belong to me

And I can remember
The last time I lied
I was holding you and telling you
We could still be friends

Tried to let you go
But I can't, you know
And even though I'm not with you
I need you so
But you don't belong to me


Chorus:
Comin' in and out of your life
Isn't easy,
When there are so many nights
I can't hold you and I've told you
These feelings are so hard to find
Comin' in and out of your life
Will never free me
'cause I don't need to touch you
To feel you, it's so real with you

I just can't get you out of my mind
But I can remember the last time we tried
Each needing more than we could give
And knowing all the time
A stronger love
Just can't be found
Even though at times this crazy world
Is turning up-side-down
You'll always belong to me

Chorus

. . .


I remember sitting on the front steps
Feeling the softness of a warm summer rain
I see the reflections of my mind
All the sadness all the pain
Visions of yesterday,
How fast they slip away
And though my dreams have come and gone
With one wish I can say:
Kiss me in the rain, and make me feel like a child again
Bring back all those memories
Kiss me in the rain, and make me feel like a child again
With the feeling that I get,
I don't even mind if we get wet

And if I drift outside myself
Please don't turn away
I'm searching for the innocence
I've lost along the way
Come join me in my fantasy


Step out of space and time
There's only one thing left to do
So if you wouldn't mind:
Kiss me in the rain, and make me feel like a child again
Bring back all those memories
Kiss me in the rain, and make me feel like a child again
With the feeling that I get,
I don't even mind if I get wet
Kiss me in the rain, and make me feel like a child again
Bring back all those memories
Kiss me in the rain, and make me feel like a child again
With the feeling that I get,
I don't even mind if I get wet

Come on kiss me in the rain
Oh, won't you kiss me in the rain
With the feeling that I get
I don't even mind if I get wet

. . .


Time has come again
And love is in the wind
Like some music in a dream
You made them all come true
When you came inside of my life
Now I'm lost
Inside of you
Lost in the music
And lost in your eyes
I could spend all of my time
Hearing songs you sing
Feeling love you bring
Darling being close to you
Made all my dreams come true
When you came inside my life
Now I'm lost inside of you

. . .


So the word is goodbye
Makes no difference how the tears are cried
It's over
And my heart lives alone
I can make believe you need me
When it's over
And we can't take it home
The fire that was burning
When all around was turning
And we were cruising for the ride

Got to give a little of the love inside
Not to take it all
And watch me fall
I got me loving you
I had you loving me

And we both played along
Love is easy on the young
Life was together
As the world fades away
Into yesterday
I'm losing you forever

I'm just an empty shell
With nothing for tomorrow
I'm here to face the sorrow
The dream we sailed was far & wide

Got to give a little of the love inside
Not to take apart
This breaking heart
I got me loving you
I had you loving me

So the word is goodbye
Makes no difference how the tears are cried
It's over
And my heart lives alone
I can make believe you need me
When it's over

And we can't take it home
The fire that is burning
When all around is turning
The dream we sailed was far & wide

Got to give a little of the love inside
The love inside
The love inside
(Repeat till fade…)

. . .


Memories
Light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me - Would we? Could we?

Memories
May be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply to choose to forget

So it is the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were

So it is the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
