Quiet nights 'n quiet stars,
quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
Quiet thoughts 'n quiet dreams,
quiet walks by quiet streams
Climbing hills where lovers go to watch the world below together
We will live eternally in this mood of reverie
Away . . . from all the earthly cares around us
My world was dull each minute until I found you in it
And all at once the happiness I knew,
Became these quiet nights of loving you!
[instrumental break]
We will live eternally in this mood of reverie
Away... from all the earthly cares around us
My world was dull each minute until I found you in it
And all at once the happiness I knew,
Became these quiet nights of loving you!
[adlib quiet nights ect.]
Hmmm...
What you mean, wanna know how I feel about you, baby?
Be poetic about it, alright
I love the east, I love the west
And north and south, they're both the best
But I'll only go there as a guest
'Cause I love being here with you
I love the sea, I love the shore
I love the rocks but what is more?
With you they'd never be a bore
'Cause I love being here with you
Singin' in the shower, laughin' by the hour
Life is such a breezy game
Love all kinds of weather, as long we're together
I love to hear you say my name
I like good wine and fine cuisine
And candle light, I like the scene
But baby, if you know what I mean
'Cause I love being here with you
I love being here with you
I like a dance by Fred Astaire
And Brando's eyes, Yul Brynner's hair
But I think to tell you's only fair
That I love being here with you
And Cary Grant, oh do-dah-day
His utter charm takes me away
But don't get me wrong, how do you say
I love being here with you
Oh, Basie's band's a-swingin', I like Ella singin'
'Cause there's something else, you know
They know how to say it, they know how to play it
They wind it up and let it go
I love the thrill of New York shows
I'd love to Durante's nose
But I'd like to say before I close, yeah, yeah
I just love, baby I love, well, I love being here with you
I'm gonna live till I die! I'm gonna laugh 'stead of cry,
I'm gonna take the town and turn it upside down,
I'm gonna live, live, live until I die.
They're gonna say "What a guy!" I'm gonna play for the sky.
Ain't gonna miss a thing, I'm gonna have my fling,
I'm gonna live, live, live until I die.
The blues I lay low, I'll make them stay low,
They'll never trail over my head.
I'll be a devil, till I'm an angel, but until then.
Hallelujah, gonna dance, gonna fly, I'll take a chance riding high,
Before my number's up, I'm gonna fill my cup,
I'm gonna live, live, live, until I die!
The blues I lay low, I'll make them stay low,
They'll never trail over my head.
I'll be a devil, till I'm an angel, but until then.
Hallelujah, gonna dance, gonna fly, I'll take a chance riding high,
Before my number's up, I'm gonna fill my cup.
I want a little sugar in my bowl
I want a little sweetness down in my soul
I could stand some lovin', oh so bad
I feel so funny, I feel so sad
I want a little steam on my clothes
Maybe I can fix things up, so they'll go
What's the matter daddy, come on, save my soul
I need some sugar in my bowl, I ain't foolin'
I want some sugar in my bowl
You've been actin' different
I've been told, yeah Sue me, I want some sugar in my bowl
I want some steam, some hot steam on my clothes
Maybe I can fix things up, so they'll go
What's the matter daddy, come on, save my soul, yeah
I want some sugar in my bowl, I ain't foolin'
I need some, some sugar in my bowl
I'm not in love
So don't forget it
Its just a silly phase im going through
And just because
I call you up
Don't get me wrong
Don't think you got it made
I'm not in love
No no no
Its because
I like to see you
But then again
That doesn't mean
You mean that much to me
So if i call you
Don't make a fuss
Don't go and tell your friends
about the two of us
I'm not in love
Oh no no
It's because
Oh oh oh
You wait a long time for me
Oooo ooo you wait a long time yeah
I keep your picture
Right there on the wall
It hides a nasty stain thats been lying there
So don't you ask me to give it back
I know you know it don't mean on thing to me
I ain't in love
no no no no
It's because
Oh oh oh
You wait a long time for me
oooo ooo you wait a long time yeah
I'm not in love
No i'm not in love
no no no
I ain't in love
no no no no
It's because
Oooooh
You wait a long time for me
Darlin ooo
You wait a long time for me
I aint in love, i aint in love no no no
I aint in love, i aint in love, i aint in love
I aint thinkin bout you baby
I dont miss you like crazy
I aint in love i aint in love i aint in love
Keep waiting, keep waiting.

Betcha got a chick on the side, sure you got a chick
I know you got a chick on the side
I know you got a chick on the side
I know you got a chick on the side
I know you got a chick on the side
I know you want us both and I know the reason why.
I can give you so much lovin ,
But presents, she can buy you.
Last night youre in my arms,
Tonight Im all alone
[Chorus:]
How long will this game go on? How long?
Oh, oh how long?
Betcha got a chick on the side, sure you got a chick.
I know you got a chick on the side.
And its plain, plain enough to see that
Youre not the man for me.
I cant keep playin games that keep my heart in pain.
I want to turn and walk away but its harder to do
Than it is to say.
[Chorus]
It might hurt me for awhile but of one thing I am sure.
Ill get over you, yes Ill find someone new.
Each time I open up my heart,
It seems to just get torn apart.
[Adlib line 1:]
I saw you, dont you try to hide.
Dont hide it from me, no, no. no.
[Adlib line 2:]
You thought you would hide it, hide it,
Hide it from me.
[Repeat...]
I try to reason and tell myself you'll return
But you are gone and I know, I know, I know you're gone
You were mine for only a minute
And if I hurt you I didn't intend it
You are gone away, I keeptellin' my mind
You're not gonna stay
But I believe sometimes that I lost you, baby
I lost you, baby, you were gone
Forgive and forget it that's not what I'll ask you to do
'Cause I want you back, yeah
You know, you know I want you back
And in concluding my mental discussion
I found I lost my prized possession
You are gone away, I keeptellin' my mind
You're not gonna stay
And I believe sometimes that I lost you, baby
I lost you, baby, you were gone
You were mine for only a minute
And if I hurt you I didn't intend it
You are gone away, I keeptellin' my mind
You're not gonna stay
And I believe sometimes that I lost you, baby
I lost you, baby and you were gone
There's a light in the darkness
Though the night black as my skin
There's a light burning bright showing me the way
But I know where I've been
There's a cry in distance
It's a voice that comes from deep within
There's a cry asking why
I pray the answer's up ahead yeah
'cause I know where I've been
There's a road we've been travellin'
Lost so many on the way
But the riches will be plenty
With the price, the price we had to pay
There's a dream in the future
There's a struggle that we have yet to win
And there's pride in my heart
'cause I know where I'm going, yes I do
And I know where I've been, yeah
There's a road that we must travel
There's a promise that we must make
Oh the riches will be plenty
Oh the dream in the future
Oh the struggle we must win
Use that pride in our heart
To lift us up
Lord knows i know
Where I've been
