(Peter Wingfield)
Although I know our love is going strong
Little surprises kind of help it along
We mustn't let our lives become routine
Don't do anything we don't mean
There is no limit on love at all
It can always get better the deeper you fall
I'm sure without that love we won't survive
So come on and show it; let's keep it alive
And we'll be making a good thing better
But with luck it's gonna last forever
You'll see
Making a good thing better
That's the way we're gonna stay together
You and me
If we're to make each other satisfied
Gotta keep on tryin'; don't let it ride
It all comes over in the morning kiss
Don't do it like that; do it like this
Making a good thing better
But with luck it's gonna last forever
You'll see
Making a good thing better
That's the way we're gonna stay together
You and me
Make it so much better
It is better better
Make it so much better
Make it better better
Make it better better better
Make it better better better
Make it better better better
Better better
Making a good thing better
But with luck it's gonna last forever
You'll see
Making a good thing better
That's the way we're gonna stay together
You and me
. . .

It's late at night and we're all alone
With just the music of the radio
No one's comin', no one's gonna telephone
Just me and him and the lights down low
And we're slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my guy
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
In the whole wide world
And we just float together when the lights are low
And the shadows dancing across the wall
The music's playing so soft and slow
And the rest of the world's so far away and small
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my guy
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
In the whole wide world
Hold me, please hold me
Don't ever let me go
And as we dance together in the dark
There's so much love in this heart of mine
He whispers to me and I hold him tight
He's the one I thought I'd never find
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my guy
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
In the whole wide world
. . .

Love is a burnin' thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down down down and the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns the ring of fire
The ring of fire
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down down down and the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns the ring of fire
The ring of fire
The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Oooh but the fire went wild
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down down down and the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns the ring of fire
The ring of fire
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down down down and the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns the ring of fire
The ring of fire

(John Farrar)
Take all the time that you need to be certain
Say nothing till you can say what you mean
Don't stay with me just to save me from hurtin'
I may be young but I'm not green
I'm in no hurry for the show
To hear what I already know
'Cause you've been coolin' down
Even a fool could see
Coolin' down
Driftin' away from me
Day by day love fades away
Coolin' down, coolin' down
Trapped in your dreams for too long you've been yearnin'
To find yourself live a life of your own
The love has died and it won't be returnin'
I feel so helpless and alone
Now everything I try to do
Is right for me but wrong for you
'Cause you've been coolin' down
Even a fool could see
Coolin' down
Driftin' away from me
Day by day love fades away
Coolin' down, coolin' down
. . .

(Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice)
It won't be easy; you'll think it's strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done
You won't believe me; all you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
And its sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen; I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window; staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around, trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to
Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise; don't keep your distance
And as for fortune and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions
They're not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me
Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise; don't keep your distance
Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise; don't keep your distance
Have I said too much
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true

It's early in the morning
Today I'm moving away
Sittin' here for the last time
Makes me feel so strange
My life here has ended
Like a pulled up weed
Don't play no sad songs
They'll make me cry
This situation reminds me
Of when I went away to school
My friends they all called me
And said I've been made a fool
My boyfriend he left me
For my best friend
Ahh don't play no sad songs
They'll make me cry
'Cause sad songs are tearin' up my heart again
Loneliness is standing in my path again
I can feel it comin'
I can hear it callin' out my name
I don't wanna remember
What I'm leavin' behind
The radio plays a sad song
And brings it on
Loneliness surrounds me
Like clouds bring rain
Ahh don't play no sad songs
They'll make me cry
'Cause sad songs are tearin' up my heart again
Loneliness is standing in my path again
I can feel it comin'
I can hear it callin' out my name
. . .

We were special people
Feeling perfect love
Protected by each other
Like a hand inside a glove
Now you say you're leavin'
As you wave goodbye
You won't see me cry
You won't see me cry
Taking things for granted
Drove us both apart
Fell into a pattern
But I fell and lost the heart
Isn't it a pity
That we didn't try
But you won't see me cry
You won't see me, you won't see me cry
You won't see me cry
You won't see me, you won't see me cry
Maybe I will write you
Someday I may phone
To see if you're survivin'
Living all alone
You know that I still love you
Of that I cannot lie
But you won't see me cry
You won't see me, you won't see me cry
You won't see me cry
You won't see me, you won't see me cry

(Jules Shear)
Well I've been so far away from you
Though standin' by your side
And there were nights we were so in love
That lovin' made me blind
But that time is so far below us now
the memory so thin
It's so easy to begin
But it's so hard to stop this love
It's just so hard to stop
When a heart that's lookin' for lovin' leads you in
It's so easy to begin
And I've at least saved some lessons from
A time I fell apart
And I know you've been wondering why
I look at you so hard
But I never want to wake up someday
And wonder where we've been
It's so easy to begin
But it's so hard to stop this love
It's just so hard to stop
When a heart that's lookin' for lovin' leads you in
It's so easy to begin
. . .

(Jim Rushing/Marshall Chapman)
I never tried to change you
But the hurt is changing me
I only wanna be myself
And you won't let that be
I can't play an actor's role
'Cause I can't live a lie
Life's too short and night's too long
To let them pass us by
So I'll be closing the door in the morning
And I won't wake you when I rise
'Cause there's nothing to say before going
You think that I said it all
So I think I'll say goodbye
Believin' came so easy when our love was flowin' free
But there's a wall of darkness where sunshine used to be
One more wrong tomorrow
Is one more wasted day
And holdin' on to love that's gone
We'll never find our way
So I'll be closing the door in the morning
And I won't wake you when I rise
'Cause there's nothing to say before going
You think that I said it all
So I think I'll say goodbye
. . .

You say you want to know most everything about him
But babe, what you're saying is that you don't want to doubt him
If I told you all the truth you wouldn't want to see him anymore
But I'm his friend as well and there's no way I can tell
Tales that will make you unsure
Don't ask a friend; don't make me tell a lie
Don't ask a friend to be your alibi
You know that I would like to help you patch it up again
I'm your lonely hearts club friend
Don't ask a friend
I've known him for so long to me he's like a brother
And if I needed help will I know there'd be no other
But you're as close to me as any friend that I have ever known
I'm caught up in between his devil and your dream
Please make your choice on your own
Don't ask a friend; don't make me tell a lie
Don't ask a friend to be your alibi
You know that I would like to help you patch it up again
I'm your lonely hearts club friend
Don't ask a friend
. . .

If love is real
Why can't you take love and lock love away
In some safe place
Where you won't lose love and keep love
Each day untouched so warm and near
Where love will stay so pure and clear
The evenings pass
And I wonder where you are sleeping tonight
Are you awake
Running through memories remembering
How good it felt when love took hold
Our future plans that won't unfold
Now days are long
Just patches of time thrown together like clouds
Of empty hours blinded by pictures of places we knew
And now in space I stare
Without your soul and thoughts to share
It all seems lost
Left are just words but without much to say
Cause if love's real
You have to trust and let love go its way
. . .
