A CHANCE TO PROVE MY LOVE (Jackson) Darling believe me and try to trust me Although I’ve really been untrue to you Give me the chance to prove my love once more Before you say we’re through I realise now I’ve been so wrong darling Doing all the things that I’ve done to you That’s why I’m asking for just one more chance To prove my love is true Now I can see the fool I’ve always been To a love that was honest and true And if you only let me stay I’ll promise I’m gonna make it all up to you Darling I need you and I want you As sure as heav’n is up above I hope you’ll come into my arms once more So I can prove my love I hope you’ll come into my arms once more So I can prove my love DON’T STOP IN MY WORLD (Pennington) What are you doing here, you never wanted me before Have you run out of fools, or just looking for one more? Well my love is stronger than the words of this song So don’t love me today if tomorrow you’ll be gone. Don’t stop in my world if you don’t mean to stay Don’t give me something, then take it away. To have you and to lose you would be more than I could take Don’t stop in my world if you don’t mean to stay. I’ve watched you spread your wings
And fly too high so many times. Al-ways just out of reach but never quite out of my mind, If you just need me now to get over a fall Don’t give me any love if you can’t give it all. Don’t stop in my world if you don’t mean to stay Don’t give me something, then take it away. To have you and to lose you would be more than I could take Don’t stop in my world if you don’t mean to stay, Don’t stop in my world if you don’t mean to stay. DON’T LET ME GO (Revaux/Newell) I can see you have stars in your eyes, for a love that is new. I can see you believe what you say, when you say we are through. What of me, am I yesterday’s dream, that is over today? I don’t know, what will come of life, if you send me away. Don’t let me go. I’ll lose my way without you by my side. Don’t let me go, let me stay,
Let me stay oh my love let me stay. Why say goodbye, to a beautiful dream, that we made all our own. Know your way, just as long as one day,
You’ll come running back home. Don’t think of this, as just one of those things, just a passing affair. For one day, you’ll return when you know, your heart really cares. Don’t let me go. I’ll lose my way without you by my side. Don’t let me go, let me stay,
Let me stay oh my love let me stay I recall all the world that was ours, from the day that we met. After all when you love like I love, could you ever forget? Maybe I, should be stronger than this, I should leave you and then. Spend my life, longing just for your arms, to embrace me again. Don’t let me go. I’ll lose my way without you by my side. Don’t let me go, let me stay,
Let me stay oh my love let me stay.
Don’t let me go. I’ll lose my heart without you by my side. Don’t let me go, let me stay,
Let me stay oh my love let me stay. Oh my love let me stay. Let me stay I WISH I’D NEVER ASKED (Griff) I wish we’d never talked about old lovers I wish I didn’t know about the others ‘Cos every time you’re holding me I think about your past I wish that I’d never asked I wish I’d been the first to taste your kisses I wish you’d never known what perfect bliss is Whenever we make love I wonder where you’re really at I wish that I’d never asked I don’t know if it’s jealousy or if it’s foolish pride But I can’t leave your yesterdays alone I don’t know if it’s really me that I see in your eyes Or if it’s someone else that you have known I wish there hadn’t been so many questions I wish we’d stayed away from true confessions There’s no way we can make it if I keep on looking back I wish that I’d never asked I wish there hadn’t been so many questions I wish we’d stayed away from true confessions There’s no way we can make it if I keep on looking back I wish that I’d never asked I wish that I’d never asked | | HARD TO SAY GOODBYE (Pope)Forgive me if I don’t say goodbye tomorrow,
Forgive me if it seems that I don’t care. If it’s going to be another sad occasion I’d rather not be there. Try to look as if my heart knows no emotion
But the feelings deep inside still sometimes show. If only I could keep my resolution that the tears will never flow. I’ve always found it hard to say goodbye,
Any kind of leaving makes me cry. Well known places, names and faces, memories never die, I’ve always found it hard to say goodbye. For me there’s so much change to come to terms with, For the ones I’ve left behind, life carries on. Knowing I can still return, makes it easy to pretend I’ve never gone. I’ve always found it hard to say goodbye.
Saying it doesn’t hurt would be a lie. Though bridges burned and never learned to leave the past behind, I’ve always found it hard to say goodbye. Forgive me if I don’t say goodbye tomorrow,
Forgive me if it seems that I don’t care. If it’s going to be another sad occasion I’d rather not be there.
I’ve always found it hard to say goodbye,
Saying it doesn’t hurt would be a lie.
Though bridges burned and never learned to leave the past behind, I’ve always found it hard to say goodbye. Yes, I’ve always found it hard to say goodbye,
Any kind of leaving makes me cry. Well known places, names and faces, memories never die, I’ve always found it hard to say goodbye.
Yes, I’ve always found it hard to say goodbye. A WORLD OF LOVE (Degault/Spencer) I have dreamed many dreams and I’ve shared one or two But the best dream of all didn’t start coming true ‘Til my heart felt that glow just a moment ago In a world of love that I found in your arms (In a world of love that I found in your arms)
And as soft as your touch and as deep as your sighs
Was that warm tender look I could see in your eyes Shining bright as the day while it showed me the way To a world of love that I found in your arms (To a world of love that I found in your arms)
Only one sweet embrace and I knew then and there
That as long as I live nothing else will compare With the thrill of tonight when my heart saw the light In a world of love that I found in your arms In a world of love that I found in your arms NO LOVE BUT YOUR LOVE (Myles) No love but your love can set my world on fire No love but your love can fill me with desire No love but your love can shape my destiny No love but your love can make a slave of me No arms but your arms can banish all my fears No charm but your charm could last a thousand years
No love but your love will ever thrill me so
No love but your love will my heart ever know No love but your love will my heart ever know
No love
ANOTHER MORNING (Graham)In the early morning light I look across the valley Where the mist of time hides things that I can’t see And all the days and nights like colours run together And just one morning stands out clear to me Another morning I remember still,
Another morning I wonder was it real. One night together was all we ever knew,
And morning kisses were my goodbyes to you. In the corners of my mind I see your sleepy eyes now I seem to touch your hand and feel the ring you wore And suddenly I know our night of love together Was worth the hurt that’s mine forever more Another morning I remember still,
Another morning I wonder was it real. One night together was all we ever knew,
And morning kisses were my goodbyes to you.
Another morning I remember still,
Another morning I wonder was it real. One night together was all we ever knew,
And morning kisses were my goodbyes to you. Another morning I remember still,
Another morning I wonder was it real. One night together was all we ever knew,
And morning kisses were my goodbyes to you. LOVE WAS WHAT WE HAD (Graham)What we had were country walls, those big log fires and midnight talls. And faith as trusting as a child’s, and for a little while, Love was what we had. What we had was yesterday, a funny dog we called him Tray. We said simple things that made us smile, and for a little while, Love was what we had. How short the days together were, how long the nights forever are. And memories still warm are where you left them, When you went away What we had was summer sun, October leaves and so much fun. Like it was going out of style, yes our own little while. Love was what we had Love was what we had Love was what we had WORD GAMES (Graham)We meet on the street and we play word games Saying words that cover up what’s real You’re close enough to touch and we play word games Hiding all the things we really feel I say hello what’s new and what I mean is darling I miss you You say I’m looking good and I wonder if you mean you’re lonely too We meet on the street and we play word games Saying words that cover up what’s real You’re close enough to touch and we play word games Hiding all the things we really feel I say it looks like rain and what I mean is please don’t let it end You say time really flies and I wonder if you mean you’d try again We meet on the street and we play word games WE LOVE BUT ONCE (Canton) We love but once but once we love, we love forevermore. We’ll own the dreams that we were yearning for and even more. We’ll own the night and live from kiss to kiss, We live but once and love but once, like this
We’ll own the night and live from kiss to kiss.
We live but once and love but once, like this. We live but once and love but once, like this. | |
