Made In America

You've been so quiet lately

Sometimes i wonder has the cat got your tongue

You seem to be a thousand miles away

Don't look me in the eyes and say it's o.k.

Don't lie

I got this funny feelin' baby

That it's going to be that time again

When you have the need for someone else

I know you better than you know yourself



(*) sometimes it takes the strength of a woman

To understand the weakness of her man

It's gonna take the strength of this woman

To keep fightin' for the lovin' of her man



And darlin' when you've been satisfied

And it isn't new to you no more

Think of me, i'll be here alone

Waitin' for you to find your way back home



Repeat (*)



Oh i know how hard you tried

To hide this all from me

But if you keep a silent heart

I can't give you what you need

So hold me close and hold me tight

Let's say goodnight, and never say goodbye



Repeat (*)

You can have this dance with me

You can hold my hand and whisper

In my ear sweet words, that i

Love to hear



(*) don't be shy, just take your time

I'd like to get to know you

I'd like to make you mine



I've been waiting, sitting here so patiently

For you to come over

And have this dance with me



(**) and my number is beechwood 4-5789

You can call me up and have a date

Any old time



Repeat (*)



Beechwood 4-5789

You can call me up and have a date

Any old time



Repeat (*)

Repeat (**)



Beechwood 4-5789

You can call me up and have a date

Any old time

Where's the word for the sadness

Where's the poetry in the pain

Where's the color in the stain where the tears have fallen

It's gone, it's just gone



Where's the method to this madness

As we create this suffering

And we do each other in and we still hold on

But it's gone, it's just gone



(*) he says it's gone

And he can't go on a living a memory

Mulling it over endlessly

Why is that so hard for me to see

He says it's gone

And he can't go on trying to live a lie

And when he cries, i know it's over

But i may never know why



There's no face in the locket

There's no place for the past

I'll put it back in my pocket

It was never meant to last

It's just gone



Repeat (*)



There's no word for the sadness

There's no poetry in the pain

There's no color in the stain where the tears have fallen

It's gone, it's just gone



It's gone, it's just gone

Well, it's gone

As a child i was known for make-believing

All alone i created fantasies

As i grew people called it self-deceiving

But my heart helped me hold the memories



As i walk through the world i find around me

Something new, yet familiar's in the air

I feel it ev'rywhere

Like a child's eyes

On a christmas night

I'm lookin' at you now

Finding answers to my prayers



(*) it's a new day for those good old dreams

One by one it seems they're comin' true

Here's the morning that my heart had seen

Here's the morning that just had to come through

Same old stage but what a change of scene

No more dark horizons, only blue

It's a new day for those good old dreams

All my life i dreamed of lovin' you



You're a spark of a long forgotten fire

You're a touch of a slowly growing wind

You're a taste of the ever-changing seasons

Telling me there are some things that don't end

We have left all the darkness far behind us

All those hopes that we held along the way

Have made it to this day

Like an old love song

Gone for much too long

You hear it once again

Ant it carries you away



Repeat (*)



It's a new day for those good old dreams

And it's all because of you

When you've got what it takes

You've got nothing to hide

You've got miles of feelings

And acres of pride

You've got it

You've really got it



When you know who you are

Then you live what you feel

You give what you can

And it's good when you've really got it

And when you've got it



(*) let it out

Let it show

Let'em know

Inside you've got it

Let it shine like a fine tomorrow

For when you do

The feeling comes back to you

What a difference it makes

When you've got what it takes

What a difference it makes

When you've got it



When you're sure of your heart

Then you give it away

And love is a promise

You keep every day

You know it

And when you know it



You begin to believe

You'll do more than survive

That the best part of being is being alive

You feel it

And when you feel it



Repeat (*)



When a difference it makes

When you've got what it takes

What a difference it makes

When you've got it



When a difference it makes

When you've got what it takes

What a difference it makes

When you've got it everyday
