1. _ The Windmills of Your Mind
Round - like a circle in a spiral,
Like a wheel within a wheel,
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel,
Like a snowball down a mountain,
Or a carnival balloon,
Like a carousel that's turning
Running rings around the moon,
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face,
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space,
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind!
Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of its own,
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shown,
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half-forgotten dream,
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face,
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space,
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind!
Keys that jingle in your pocket,
Words that jangle in your head,
Why did Summer go so quickly?
Was it something that you said?
Lovers walk along the shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Is the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
And the fragment of a song,
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
In the Autumn of goodbyes,
For a moment you could not recall
The color of his eyes
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
Like a circle in a spiral,
Like a wheel within a wheel,
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel,
As the images unwind,
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind!

2. _ I'll Never Say Goodbye
Say "Goodbye?"
Why, I can barely say "Good night"
If I can hardly take my eyes from yours,
How far can I go?
Walk away?
The thought would never cross my mind
I couldn't turn my back on Spring or Fall,
Your smile, least of all!
When I say "Always,"
I mean "Forever"
I trust tomorrow as much as today
I'm not afraid to say "I love you,"
And I promise you I'll never say
"Goodbye"
We're dancers on a crowded floor
While other dancers live from song to song,
Our music goes on
On and on -
And if I never leave your arms,
I really will have traveled ev'rywhere,
For my world is there
When I say "Always,"
I mean "Forever"
I trust tomorrow as much as today
I'm not afraid to say "I love you,"
And I promise you I'll never say
"Goodbye"
If I can barely say "Good night,"
How could I ever say "Goodbye?"

3. _ You Must Believe in Spring
When lonely feelings chill
The meadows of your mind,
Just think if Winter comes,
Can Spring be far behind?
Beneath the deepest snows,
The secret of a rose
Is merely that it knows
You must believe in Spring!
Just as a tree is sure
Its leaves will reappear;
It knows its emptiness
Is just the time of year
The frozen mountain dreams
Of April's melting streams,
How crystal clear it seems,
You must believe in Spring!
You must believe in love
And trust it's on its way,
Just as the sleeping rose
Awaits the kiss of May
So in a world of snow,
Of things that come and go,
Where what you think you know,
You can't be certain of,
You must believe in Spring and love
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
You must believe in love
And trust it's on its way,
Just as the sleeping rose
Awaits the kiss of May
So in a world of snow,
Of things that come and go,
Where what you think you know,
You can't be certain of,
You must believe in Spring and love
You must believe in Spring and love
You must believe in Spring and love

4. _ Little Boy Lost
Little boy lost
In search of little boy found
You go a-wondering, wandering,
Stumbling, tumbling, round! round!
When will you find
What's on the tip of your mind?
Why are you blind
To all you ever were, never were,
Really are, nearly are?
Little boy false
In search of little boy true
Will you be ever done traveling,
Always unraveling you, you?
Running away
Could lead you further astray
And as for fishing in streams
For pieces of dreams,
Those pieces will never fit
What is the sense of it?
Little boy blue
Don't let your little sheep roam
It's time, come blow your horn,
Meet the morn,
Look and see,
Can you be far from home?
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
Running away
Could lead you further astray
And as for fishing in streams
For pieces of dreams,
Those pieces will never fit
What is the sense of it?
Little boy blue
Don't let your little sheep roam
It's time, come blow your horn,
Meet the morn,
Look and see,
Can you be far from home?

5. _ Make Me Rainbows
Make me rainbows
Make me Spring in the snow
Make me beautiful music
Wherever I go
Make me unwind
Leave behind rhyme and reason
Make me a room
Where I'll bloom out of season
Make me sunsets,
Paint our names in the sky,
Let your arms be my wings
And together we'll fly
Don't let me fall
'Til I'm all I can be
Make me some rainbows,
Star-spangled rainbows
Please make those rainbows for me
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
Make me rainbows
Make me Spring in the snow
Make me beautiful music
Wherever I go
Make me unwind
Leave behind rhyme and reason
Make me a room
Where I'll bloom out of season
Make me sunsets, (make me sunsets)
Paint our names in the sky, (in the sky)
Let your arms be my wings
And together we'll fly
Don't let me fall
'Til I'm all I can be
Make me some rainbows, (make me some rainbows)
Star-spangled rainbows (star-spangled rainbows)
Please make those rainbows for me
For me
For me
(repeat and fade out)

6. _ Like a Lover
Like a lover, the morning sun
Slowly rises and kisses you awake
Your smile is soft and fuzzy
As you let it play upon your face
Oh, how I dream
I might be like the morning sun to you
Like a lover, the river wind
Sighs and ripples its fingers through your hair
Upon your cheek it lingers
Never having known a sweeter place
Oh, how I dream
I might be like the river wind to you
How I envy a cup that knows your lips
Let it be me, my love
And a table that feels your fingertips
Let it be me, let me be your love
Bring an end to the endless days and nights
Without you
Like a lover, the velvet moon
Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
Its light arrives on tiptoe
Gently taking you in its embrace
Oh, how I dream
I might be like the velvet moon to you
(Bridge)
Oh, how I dream
I might be like the river wind to you
How I envy a cup that knows your lips
Let it be me, my love
And a table that feels your fingertips
Let it be me, let me be your love
Bring an end to the endless days and nights
Without you
Like a lover, the velvet moon
Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
Its light arrives on tiptoe
Gently taking you in its embrace
Oh, how I dream
I might be like the velvet moon to you
I might be like the velvet moon to you
I might be like the velvet moon to you
(Fade out)

7. _ The Way We Were/Where Do You Start?
...Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again,
Tell me, would we,
Could we...
Where do you start?
How do you separate the present from the past?
How do you deal with all the things you thought would last
That didn't last?
With bits of mem'ries scattered here and there,
I look around and don't know where to start
Which books are yours?
Which tapes and dreams belong to you and which are mine?
Our lives are tangled like the branches of a vine
That intertwine
So many habits that we'll have to break
And yesterdays we'll have to take apart
One day, there'll be a song
Or something in the air again
To catch me by surprise
And you'll be there again
A moment in -
What might have been....
Where do you start?
Do you allow yourself a little time to cry,
Or do you close your eyes and kiss it all goodbye?
I guess you try
And though I don't know where and don't know when
I'll find myself in love again
I promise there will always be
A little place no one will see:
A tiny part deep in my heart
That stays in love with you

8. _ Ordinary Miracles
Change can come on tiptoe,
Love is where it starts
It resides,
Often hides
Deep within our hearts
And just as pebbles make a mountain,
Raindrops make a sea
One day at a time
Change begins with you and me
Ordinary miracles
Happen all around
Just by giving and receiving
Comes belonging and believing
Ev'ry sun that rises
Never rose before
Each new day
Leads the way
Through a diff'rent door
And we can all be quiet heroes,
Living quiet days
Walking through the world
Changing it in quiet ways
Ordinary miracles
Like candles in the dark
Each and ev'ry one of us lights a spark
And the walls can tumble
And the mountains can move
The winds and the tides can turn
Ordinary miracles,
One for ev'ry star
No lightning bolt or clap of thunder,
Only joy and quiet wonder
Endless possibilities,
Right before our eyes,
See the way a miracle multiplies
Hope can spring eternally,
Plant it and it grows
Love is all that's necessary,
Love in its extraordinary way,
Makes ordinary miracles ev'ry blessed day!

9. _ How Do You Keep the Music Playing?
How do you keep the music playing?
How do you make it last?
How do you keep the song from fading too fast?
How do you lose yourself to someone
And never lose your way?
How do you not run out of new things to say?
And since we know we're always changing,
How can it be the same?
And tell me how, year after year,
You're sure your heart will fall apart
Each time you hear his name?
I know the way I feel for you it's now or never
The more I love, the more that I'm afraid
That in your eyes I may not see forever -
Forever
If we can be the best of lovers,
Yet be the best of friends;
If we can try with ev'ry day
To make it better as it grows;
With any luck, then I suppose,
The music never ends!
SAXOPHONE SOLO
I know the way I feel for you it's now or never
The more I love, the more that I'm afraid
That in your eyes I may not see forever -
Forever
If we can be the best of lovers,
Yet be the best of friends;
If we can try with ev'ry day
To make it better as it grows;
With any luck, then I suppose,
The music never ends!

10. _ The Summer Knows
The Summer smiles,
The Summer knows,
And unashamed she sheds her clothes
The Summer smoothes the restless sky,
And lovingly she warms the sand on which you lie
The Summer knows,
The Summer's wise,
She sees the doubts within your eyes,
And so she takes her Summertime,
Tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger,
Twists the world 'round her Summer finger -
Lets you see the wonder of it all
And if you've learned your lesson well
There's little more for her to tell,
One last caress, it's time to dress for Fall
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
And if you've learned your lesson well
There's little more for her to tell,
One last caress, it's time to dress for Fall

11. _ It Might Be You
Time...
I've been passing time watching trains go by
All of my life,
Lying on the sand watching sea birds fly
Wishing there would be
Someone waiting home for me
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
All of my life
Looking back as lovers go walking past
All of my life
Wond'ring how they met and what makes it last
If I found the place
Would I recognize the face?
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
So many quiet walks to take
So many dreams to wake
And we've so much love to make!
I think we're gonna need some time
Maybe all we need is time
And it's telling me it might be you
All of my life
I've been saving love songs and lullabies
And there's so much more
No one's ever heard before
Something's telling me it might be you
Something's telling me it must be you
And I'm feeling it'll just be you
All of my life
Maybe it's you, maybe it's you
I've been waiting for all of my life

12. _ The Island
Make believe we landed
On a desert island
Bathe me in the waters,
Warm me in the moonlight
Taste me with your kisses,
Find the secret places;
Touch me 'til I tremble,
Free my wings for flying
And catch me while I'm falling
Keep your arms around me
Like there's no tomorrow
Let me know you love me
On our little island
Not a soul can see us;
Show me how to love you,
Teach me how to please you
Lay your dreams beside me,
Only stars will listen
To our cries and whispers
You were made to love me
And I was made to love you
Keep your arms around me;
Lose yourself inside me,
Make it last forever
I can see the island
Shining in the distance
Now we're getting closer
Keep your arms around me,
Love, we're almost there!
