We Still Have Time (from the Motion Picture 'Tribute')
. . .



Your eyes are sad eyes
Mine are too
It doesn't take too much to see
What we've been through
You lost your baby
And me the same
Ain't it true how love's a hurtin' game

Could I have this dance
May I be so bold
It's just my arms are empty
And the night is so cold

Wouldn't it be fine bein' lonely together
Wouldn't it be fine havin' a shoulder to share
You could tell me how he broke your heart
And I'll tell you how she broke mine
And maybe later on I could take you home
Now wouldn't it be sad bein' lonely all alone

A heart that's hurtin's
Not hard to see
I guess he promised you the world
Like she did me
But dry your eyes now
You'll be just fine
We can drown our achin' hearts
in this glass of wine

Well I hate to say
What's done is done
It's just two can ease the pain
Much better than one

Chorus

Love
It's such a crazy thing
All you got to give and no regrets
But love
It can live again
Stay with me tonight
I'll make it work out right

Chorus

. . .



We decide to get away
And have some fun
Book a room and catch a flight
For two weeks in the sun
She says, "Hawaii's too expensive."
I say, "Barbados isn't bad."
She says, "I'd love to see Bermuda."
And I say, "Woman, are you mad!"

Bermuda Triangle It makes people disappear
Bermuda Triangle Don't go too near
But she Doesn't see my angle
And she thinks I'm being dumb
So Bermuda Triangle
Here we come!

Lying with my woman on The island sand
I look up and see her with
A stranger, hand in hand
I see her sitting on his blanket
I see them going for a swim
And when I run to find my woman
I find her running after him!

Bermuda Triangle
Makes my woman disappear
Bermuda TriangleDon't go too near
Looking At it from my angle
Do you see why I'm so sad
Bermuda Triangle Very bad!

Lying lost and lonely on
The island sand,
When a lovely stranger says
Hello and takes my hand
And soon she's sitting on my blanket
And then we're going for a swim
When I say, "what about your boyfriend?"
She turns and waves goodbye to him!

Bermuda Triangle It makes people disappear
Bermuda Triangle Don't go to near
But look At it from my angle
And you'll see what I'm so glad
Now Bermuda Triangle Not so bad!

We dreamers have our ways
Of facing rainy days
And somehow we survive

We keep the feelings warm
Protect them from the storm
Until our time arrives

Then one day the sun appears
And we come shining through those lonely years

I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it through the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain
And found myself respected
By the others who
Got rained on too
And made it through

When friends are hard to find
And life seems so unkind
Sometimes you feel so afraid

Just aim beyond the clouds
And rise above the crowds
And start your own parade

'Cause when I chased my fears away
That's when I knew that I could finally say

Chorus

. . .



I was gonna see the world one day
Maybe be a movie star
Or buy a quiet house, down by the bay
And write about the way things are
But the way things are right now
I can hardly write my name
And I've lost my taste for the wanderin' ways
For fortune and for fame

Darlin' all I want to do is be with you
Twenty four hours a day
All the other dreams I've had
Have faded away
Darlin' all I want to do is be with you
Twenty four hours a day
If you want to be with me
Then here's where I'll stay

I was gonna save the human race
Find my place in history
Or sail away one day far out in space
And live a life of mystery
But the mystery to me
Is the life I've lived before
And the place for me isn't history
It's with you forever more

Chorus

. . .



Dance away dance away

I saw you in the shadows
You were actin' so free
I knew the last thing on your mind was me

I could hear the laughter
And from that moment after
Girl, you had my pride down on its knee

Who does your night belong to
Now that I'm gone
Does he call you baby, all night long

Who does your night belong to
Who is the one you turn to
Are you dancin' to our favorite song

Dance away, it's only my mind you're takin'
Dance away, it's only my heart you're breaking
If I've lost my touch
Go on and give unsatisfied
My need for you is very much alive


I can make it on my own
My love will survive
I will find someone to get me by
But I'll be left with feelin's
That will go unsatisfied
My need for you is very much alive

Dance away, it's only my mind you're takin'
Dance away, it's only my heart you're breaking
If I've lost my touch
Go on and give me up
And dance my love away

. . .



Goodbye,
there's a word I've hated all my life
unanticipated tears
can hurt so much

my friend
it's so sad to see you at love's end
I've been through the pain myself
It's really wrong to play it strong

Go on and cry
¡®til you run dry it's alright
go on and scream
at broken dreams it's alright
let sorrow have it´s day
and when it's done life will go on

In time
Thoughts of "might have been"
Will leave your mind
And sweet forgetfulness
Will come
Don´t worry now just when or how

But the mystery to me
Is the life I've lived before
And the place for me isn't history
It's with you forever more

Chorus

. . .



I went back
Yes I went back to find out
What we did wrong
and I went back
yes I went back to see just
how we could feel so good
in Chicago we seemed to have it all
it was real, it was real

I went back
And I sat by the lake
And looked at the stars
And oh I swear
I remember how much we laughed
And I loved you so
In Chicago I know we had it all
It was real, it was love

Only in Chicago
Love is in the air in Chicago
There's a magic there in Chicago
Our Chicago
Baby, you and I, we tried to take it with us

But you can't go back
¡®cause I went back to find out
what we did wrong and now I see
that it wasn't just you
it wasn't just you it was in Chicago
but I'm still in love with you
only you only you, but only in Chicago

. . .


(with Lily Tomlin)

Lily:
You creep into my heart
And make my heart burn
Barry:
You sneak into my mind
And make my head ache
Both:
There are things I long to tell you
Lily:
You're much too blonde
Barry:
You snore

Both:
Look
It´s time to face the music
Barry:
Bye bye
Lily:
Don't slam the door
And I don't want
Barry:
I don't want
Lily:
And I don't want
Barry:
I don't want
Both:
No, I don't want your flowers anymore

This is the last duet
Last chance you're gonna get
No more ha harmony
For you and me

This is the final song
And when the music' through
This is the last duet
I'll ever do with you

Barry:
You're not the one that I want
Ohh ohh ohh Tood-le-oo (honey)
Lily:
Don't go breakin' my back
Don't call me, I'll call you
Both:
Back together, reunited
Should feel so good
They say so I hope there's no hard feelings
Barry:
Don't go ¡®way mad
Lily:
Just go ¡®way
Both:
¡®cause enough is enough
is enough is enough
too much too little too late

Lily:
Tonight
Barry:
Tonight
Both:
With you I'm bored again!

This is the last duet
Last chance you're gonna get
No more ha harmony
For you and me

This is the final song
And when the music' through
This is the last duet
I'll ever do I'll ever do
I'll never never never never never do
with you

. . .



New York winter Traffic squeals
The city feels...so old
Late December taxi ride
Then run inside it's cold

Got your letters Monday
I think or Tuesday
I lose track
since then I've been thinking of you
and I've been looking back to

London
Can you believe it's so many years since
London
Hitching a ride and carrying knapsacks
London
In the park by the Thames Drinking tea
London
sitting in pubs and living in walk-ups
London
Learnin' the accent learnin' to love you
London
We were young we were sure
We were... free

Was it really ages
Ago the memories Never fade
can you hear Big Ben where you are
and are you glad you stayed in

London
Dodging the rain with broken umbrellas
London
Readind the Times on saturday picnics
London
Counting stars ¡®till the stars
All were gone

London
So many plans and nothing but time in
London
Nothing to fear 'cause nothing could last in
London
We grew close we grew scared
I moved on

Oh London
What were we scared of
Why did I run from London
Part of me still has
Never come back from London
Is it fair that I miss
You so much

Take good care all my love
Keep in touch
New York winter taxi ride
Then run inside it's cold

. . .


(from the Motion Picture "Tribute")

Before the laughter ended
You were a part of me
Why did I ever let the distance grow
When there is still so much of you
I need to know

But we still have time
Time to try
Yes we still have time
Before the chance
Passes by

We've got to take it
And maybe stumble and fall
But we still have time
To have it all

I don't have all the answers
I don't know where we'd start
I don't know how
We'd try to find a way
I only know
That now I need to hear you say

that we still have time
Time to try
Yes we still have time
Before the chance
Passes by

We've got to take it
And maybe stumble and fall
But we still have time
To have it all

We've got to take it
And maybe stumble and fall
But we still have time
we still have time
yes we still have time
to have it all
