Darling, you've got me falling
'Cause you're the only one whoever does it right
Every night I'm dreaming, about the feeling
You know I can't explain what's going down
My head keeps spinning round

You're on my lovelines
And that's all right with me
Just give good times
The way that love should be
Baby, you're the warm glow
That helps me through the day
And, darling, I know
I'll always feel this way
'Cause lovelines never fade

Lovelines don't fade, my love

Baby, come on and take me
Into that wonderland where only lovers go
Heaven knows I need you, I want to feel you
I got that strange sensation deep inside
That only you can satisfy

You're on my lovelines
And that's all right with me
Just give good times
The way that love should be
Baby, you're the warm glow
That helps me through the day
And, darling, I know
I'll always feel this way
'Cause lovelines never fade

So give me loving like I've never know before
Make me cry out loud for more, my love

You're on my lovelines
And that's all right with me
Just give good times
The way that love should be
Baby, you're the warm glow
That helps me through the day
And, darling, I know
I'll always feel this way

'Cause you're right on my lovelines
And that's all right with me
Just give good times
The way that love should be
Baby, you're the warm glow
That helps me through the day
And, darling, I know
I'll always feel this way

Olden days
Lying on a bed of leaves
Watchin clouds up through the trees
You said our love was more than time

It's colder now
The trees are bear the night long
I can't get warm since you've been gone
I can't stop singing sad songs

Where do I go from here?
Tell me where do I go from here?

. . .


Her ghost is there
I can see the outline of her shadow traced in the air
Sometimes I see her bended over your shoulder
I think what lies has she told you

And I see a smile light up your face
You like what she says
And I want to cry, it's killing me
But I play dumb instead

She's the uninvited guest
Who lives in our house
She's the other woman
Who's on your mind
Who's in your life
I'd have to be blind
Not to see it, not to feel it
And I'm running second best
To the uninvited guest
And it's breaking my heart

You don't know how I know
If it all was in the open you'd deny that it its so
Just like the old song, "Torn Between Two Lovers"
It's not happening to others

It's happening to you and me
And the pain is intense
I should leave you but I love you
Though it doesn't make sense

She's the uninvited guest
Who lives in our house
She's the other woman
Who's on your mind
Who's in your life
I'd have to be blind
Not to see it, not to feel it
And I'm running second best
To the uninvited guest
And it's breaking my heart

I should leave you but I love you
Though it doesn't make sense

She's the uninvited guest
Who lives in our house
She's the other woman
Who's on your mind
Who's in your life
I'd have to be blind
Not to see it, not to feel it
And I'm running second best
To the uninvited guest
And it's breaking my heart
It's breaking my heart

. . .


I've been living memories, lost in the warm of your smile
Drifting through the dreams we used to share
Thinking about the times we spent in love without a care
And wishing you were there

So, darling, if you should feel you're lonely tonight
And you need someone next to you to hold you tight
Just call me and I'll be there by your side
'Cause we can put that feeling back inside us if we try

Summer time was feeling good, holding the world in our hands
Seemed like what we had was growing strong
Never even crossed our minds that love would soon be gone
I guess that we were wrong

So, darling, if you should feel you're lonely tonight
And you need someone next to you to hold you tight
Just call me and I'll be there by your side
'Cause we can put that feeling back inside us if we try

So, darling, if you feel lonely tonight
And you need someone next to you to hold you tight
Just call me and I'll be there by your side
'Cause we've got all those memories to guide us
And we can put that feeling back inside us if we try

. . .


Maybe I'm old-fashioned feeling as I do
Maybe I'm just living in the past
But when I meet the right one I know that I'll be true
My first love will be my last

When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love

In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart

And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you

And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you

. . .


Serenade me by the light of the moon
Let's sing and dance as lovers do
When the morning light shines down on me
With you, my love, I want to be

As the stars go sailing by
We can count them you and I
We can make a wish when one falls from the sky
And my only wish would be
That forever I would see
You moving through the darkness smiling that way at me

Kiss me the way you did last night
Lay down beside me, holding me tight
Kiss me the way you did last night
Tonight until the morning light

Celebrate love while the feeling is new
It's a moment that was meant for me and you
If tomorrow never comes I won't care
I'll just love you tonight and all we share

Kiss me the way you did last night
Lay down beside me, holding me tight
Kiss me the way you did last night
Tonight until the morning light

Tonight, tonight and every night
Kiss me the way you did last night

Kiss me the way you did last night
Lay down beside me, holding me tight
Kiss me the way you did last night
Tonight until the morning light

Kiss me the way you did last night
Lay down beside me, holding me tight
Kiss me the way you did last night
Tonight until the morning light

. . .


You're close enough to touch again, where you should be
I'd love to think what your smile is leading to
I feel your eyes starting a fire all over me
Baby, I know, I know what your arms can do

Remember when loving took all night
Remember the feeling of doing it right
It's been so wrong
You've been gone too long
Now it's going to be all right
We'll take all night again tonight

I think you know that missing you took all my time
Loneliness never ran so deep till then
Now here we are lost in a feeling of feeling good
Baby, you know, I'll love you again and again

Remember when loving took all night
Remember the feeling of doing it right
It's been so wrong
You've been gone too long
Now it's going to be all right
We'll take all night again tonight

. . .


Every night, every day,
you're the one I always dream of.
Every line of your face is sketched so plain inside my heart.
You've grown so deep inside of me.
You're everything I feel and see,
and you're the one, you're the one I love.

All my life, all my love,
I can feel when you're beside me.
all that's right, all that's wrong
suddenly becomes so clear.
My heart has overtaken me
with feelings you awake in me,
and you're the one,
you're the one I love.

Only you could move me enough to believe
in love one more time.
All I need to know for tomorrow
is that you're mine,
mine for a lifetime.
If our friends all around
find it hard to understand us,
you and I understand
the other one so very well.
And that's what I've been looking for,
so I keep coming back for more,
'cause you're the one,
you're the one I love.
You're the one,
you're the one I love.

. . .


Looking out upon the city lights
And the stars above the ocean
Got my ticket for the midnight plane
And it's not easy to leave again

Took my clothes and put them in the bag
Try not to think just yet of leaving
Looking out into the city night
And it's not easy to leave again

Each time Honolulu city lights
Stir up memories in me
Each night Honolulu city lights
Bring me back again

You are my island sunset
You are my island dream

Put on my shoes and light a cigarette
Wondering which of my friends will be here
Standing with their leis around my neck
It's not easy to leave again

Each time Honolulu city lights
Stir up memories in me
Each night Honolulu city lights
Bring me back again
Bring me back again

. . .


It's a slow dance
Take a little time for some romance
Come a little closer, baby, slow dance
Whispering the words I want to hear

It's been a long night
Now my head is on your shoulder and it's so right
Your sweet and gentle kisses on these closing eyes
Tonight I will be dreaming of you

When I saw you for the first time
I never thought that this could be
I never thought you'd come my way
I never thought I'd hear you say
Dance with me

Now it's a slow dance

When I saw you for the first time
I never thought that this could be
I never thought you'd come my way
I never thought I'd hear you say
Dance with me

Now it's a slow song
Seems that I've been waiting for it so long
Waiting for this moment and someone like you
To make all my dreams come true

Someone like you, oh baby
Someone like you
Someone like you

. . .


I wouldn't have the TV in the bedroom
I wouldn't have this teardrop in my eye
I wouldn't need the radio to be my lullaby
If I had you, if I had you

I wouldn't need the sun to light the morning
If I could have your love to light my night
I'd never for a second keep our love from burning bright
If I had you in my life

If I had you again
I wouldn't be the fool I've been
If I had you again
I'd never let the loving end
If I had you again
I'd show you, baby, you're the only one

So say that you believe in second chances
And say you'll let me be with you tonight
If you'll take my hand I'll show you just how love could be so right
If I had you, if I had you

If I had you again
I wouldn't be the fool I've been
If I had you again
I'd never let the loving end
If I had you again
I'd show you, baby, you're the only one

If you'll take my hand I'll show you just how love could be so right
If I had you, if I had you

If I had you again
I wouldn't be the fool I've been
If I had you again
I'd never let the loving end
If I had you again

If I had you again
If I had you again
If I had you again
If I had you again

If I had you back in my life

. . .


Sit there, and count your fingers
What can you do? Old girl you're through
Sit there, and count your little fingers
Unlucky little girl blue

Sit there and count the raindrops falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on is the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue

(*) No use old girl, you may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer up little girl blue

When I was very young the world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel
The circus tent was strong with every star in the sky
Above the rings I loved so well
Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the silver and gold

Repeat (*)
