1. _ Why Can't I?
Feeling the way I do, I'd like to say, "I do!" Heaving a heavenly sigh Everybody has someone Why can't I? Creeping to bed alone, Resting my head alone Only my pillow nearby Some have a reason for dreaming Why can't I? I feel forsaken On nights like this Can't I awaken To someone's kiss? Two feet are ever cold Four feet are never cold I only mean to imply: Everybody has someone Why can't I? Should girls be good girls? I think they should I need a good man To make me be good Only my book in bed Knows how I look in bed Nobody hears when I cry Everybody has someone Why can't I? more free lyrics |
2. _ I Remember
I remember sky It was blue as ink Or at least, I think I remember sky I remember snow Soft as feathers, Sharp as thumbtacks, Coming down like lint And it made me squint When the wind would blow And ice like vinyl on the streets, Cold as silver, white as sheets Rain like strings And changing things Like leaves I remember leaves Green as spearmint, Crisp as paper I remember trees Bare as coatracks, Spread like broken umbrellas And parks and bridges, ponds and zoos, Ruddy faces, muddy shoes, Light and noise And bees and boys And days I remember days Or at least, I try But as years go by, They're a sort of haze And the bluest ink Isn't really sky And at times, I think I would gladly die For a day of sky more free lyrics |
3. _ Another Woman in Love
Nothing's worse than redundancy How true, how true But I keep thinking the same old thoughts When I'm with you This has gone way past affection It's my favorite direction She's right there in my reflection I'm another woman in love My horoscope gave the go-ahead I know...you knew And here's the proof that I'm looking for The sky is blue You can tell that I'm selective And your smile is so effective Welcome to my retrospective, Another woman in love Your touch is fire So, break the ice Once is all it takes, I know But twice is twice as nice So, why don't we be adventurous? Take off your shoes I'll teach you all the French I know... Rendezvous If there's any apprehension, You are first in my attention Or at least an honorable mention Another woman Another woman I'm another woman in love more free lyrics |
4. _ Confession
I never kissed a man before Oh, isn't that a shame? I never kissed a man before, Before I knew his name I never had a taste for wine Oh, isn't that a sin? I never had a taste for wine, For wine can't compare with gin It's nice as nice can be My faith is at last restored To find that vice can be Its own reward I always go to bed at ten Oh, isn't that a bore? I always go to bed at ten And then, I go home at four more free lyrics |
5. _ Rainy Days
Looking back on rainy days How I'd hate those rainy days Stayin' home, watch the wind blow All alone by my window Now, I love those rainy days You and I just locked away Lying here, love surrounds us The skies are clear all around us Funny, for me, everything has changed And the bad days feel so fine Funny, you see, when you call my name, And it happens every time, Somehow, the sun starts to shine Storm clouds comin' right this way Guess we're in for more rainy days We just laugh at the weather 'Cause here we are close together INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE Funny, for me, everything has changed And the bad days feel so fine Funny, you see, when you call my name, And it happens every time, Somehow, the sun starts to shine Those clouds are comin' right this way Guess we're in for more rainy days We just laugh at the weather 'Cause here we are close together more free lyrics |

7. _ I Could Have Been a Sailor
I'm a happy woman I made my choice in life I chose to settle down I chose to be a wife And I take pleasure in my quiet hearth And happy home I never gave my heart Its chance to roam I could have been a sailor And sailed the seven seas The wind in my face all day Can you taste the salty breeze? I could have been a lover Watchin' waves before me part But I settled for safer harbors Of my heart I'm a lucky woman I'm the envy of my peers Never ask for favors And I never show my fears Surrounded by too many friends, I am a one-man band With all the trappings of A life lived second-hand I could have been a sailor Rollin' through the night My sails before the wind And the stars my only light I could have been a dreamer But dreams just fall apart So, I settled for safer harbors Of my heart And I take pleasure in my quiet hearth And happy home I never gave my heart A chance to roam I could have been a sailor And sailed the seven seas The wind in my face all day Can you taste the salty breeze? I could have been a dreamer But dreams just fall apart So, I settled for safer harbors Of my heart I settled for safer harbors Of my heart more free lyrics |
8. _ Make the Man Love Me
You kissed me once by mistake Thought I was somebody else I felt that kiss and I envied That somebody else I wanted you for myself I guess I was shameless and bold But I made a plan in my heart I've never breathed, I've never told I must try to make the man love me, Make the man love me now Bye and bye, I'll make the man happy I know how He must see how badly I want him, Want him just as he is May I say that should the man ask me, I'll be his Can I tell the man Just how dearly blessed we would be? All the beauty I see so clearly, Oh, why can't he? So, I pray to heaven above me, Pray until day grows dim For a way to make the man love me As I love him For a way to make the man love me As I love him more free lyrics |
9. _ Some Other Time
Where has the time all gone to? Haven't done half the things I want to Oh well, we'll catch up some other time This day was just a token Too many words are still unspoken Oh well, we'll catch up some other time Just when the fun was starting, Comes the time for parting But let's be glad For what we had And what's to come There's so much more embracing Still to be done, but time is racing Oh well, we'll catch up some other time more free lyrics |

11. _ Long Ago (and Far Away)/All the Things You Are
Long ago and far away, I dreamed a dream one day And now, that dream is here beside me Long the skies were overcast But now, the clouds have passed: You're here, at last! Chills run up and down my spine Aladdin's lamp is mine The dream I dreamed was not denied me Just one look and then, I knew That all I longed for long ago Was you You are the promised kiss of spring time That makes the lonely winter seem long You are the breathless hush of evening That trembles on the brink of a lovely song You are the angel glow That lights a star The dearest things I know Are what you are Someday, my happy arms will hold you And someday, I'll know that moment divine When all the things you are Are mine more free lyrics |

Right as the rain That falls from above So real, so right Is our love It came like the spring That breaks through the snow I can't say what it may bring I only know, I only know It's right to believe Whatever gave your eyes this glow, Whatever gave my heart this song Can't be wrong It's right as the rain That falls from above And fills the world with the bloom Of our love It's right to believe Whatever gave your eyes this glow, Whatever gave my heart this song Can't be wrong It's right as the rain That falls from above And fills the world with the bloom Of our love As rain must fall And day must dawn, This love, this love Must go on more free lyrics |

13. _ Something I Thought I'd Never Do
Too many times,
I've sat across a table
Lending a sympathetic ear
Knowing exactly what I'll hear
Concealing my impatience
With a friend who falls apart
Who's let some guy walk off with her heart
He's gone, she can't forget, it's nothing new
Depending upon your point of view
So many times,
Women have a weakness
For building their lives around a man
Something I never understand
But you and I were different
We were free to come and go
Until you left for good, how could I know?
The tears, the wasted time, the longing for you
Something I thought I'd never do
My days are filled with the worst clich
