DIDN'T YOU EVER LOVE SOMEBODY
I fell in love with a man who was twice my age and half my size
He had wisdom lines down through his cheeks and wrinkles around his eyes
I told him I would love him with abandon and I promised him love for life
But when he said that I'd better grow up before me promises became lies
And I said
Didn't you ever love some body didn't you ever love
Didn't you ever love some body didn't you ever love
Somebody somebody didn't you ever love somebody
Well in some ways that man was right but in others he was wrong
I've had many friends and lovers but nothing quite so strong
And the years are always teaching me that obsession never lasts
But I ask too many questions for a man who has a past
And I say
Didn't you ever..............
I still get excited when I fly and go to another land
And I still believe that love will come and take by the hand
And lead where forever meets adventure without care
And if you try and tell me different I'm gonna tell you don't dare
And I'm gonna say
Didn't you ever love.....................
NICKEL SONG
*with refrain from "MUSIC! MUSIC! MUSIC!"
* Put another nickel in
In the nickelodeon
All I ever want from you is music
I'll do anything for you anything you want me to
All I ever, all I ever wanted was music
Well you know that I'm not a gambler but I'm being gambled on
They put in a nickel and I sing a little song
In the nickelodeon
All I ever, all I ever, wanted was music
Well I don't mind that
They're lucky but it seems like they always win
And gambling is illegal in the state of mind I'm in
And if I had a nickel for each time that I've been put on
I would be their nickel man and I'd sing a little song
You know they're only putting in a nickel
And they want a dollar song, oh
They're only putting in a nickel
And they want a dollar song
Oh yeah, all I ever wanted was the music
I'll do anything for you anything you want me to
All I ever all I ever wanted was music sweet music
They're only puttin' in a nickel
To get rid of a lot that's wrong
Oh you know they're only puttin' in a nickel
And they want a dollar song
They're only puttin' in a nickel
And they want a dollar song
Yeah...
LAY DOWN SALLY
There is nothing that is wrong
in wanting you to stay here with me.
I know you've got somewhere to go
but won't you make yourself at home and stay with me?
And don't you ever leave.
Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms.
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon.
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you.
The sun ain't nearly on the rise
and we still got the moon and stars above.
Underneath the velvet skies
love is all that matters, won't you stay with me?
And don't you ever leave.
Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms.
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon.
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you.
I long to see the morning light
colouring your face so dre amily.
So don't you go and say goodbye,
you can lay your worries down and stay with me.
And don't you ever leave.
Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms.
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon.
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you.
Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms.
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon.
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you.
IF YOU GO YOUR WAY
If you go your way my darling
Darling I'm wondering
If you go your way
Will I find mine
Well can we ever talk of leaving without crying
And if you keep leading will I stay blind
Maybe it's better left alone
Better left alone than left behind
Wrote you a letter in black and white
You know I couldn't say goodbye so I left to write
You're not all wrong but I'm not all right
I guess I waste myself alone
I'm gonna run away from home some other night
LOVER'S LULLABY
And when I remember how good your love feels
The real world goes slipping away
And though it's just dreaming I make your love true
And I trade in this real world for one dream of you
I go to a clearing in the woods that we share
When the real world holds us apart
Though I can't hold your hand and I can't kiss you there
I will die in this real world to live in your heart
And though over simple is there anything else
Sometimes I awaken to question myself
Oh what fools what children to follow the heart
For a dream that might last just one night
But something that doesn't speak English say 'Do'
And I trade in this real world for one night with you
And something with wings and speaks only in blues
Tells me trade in this real world for one night with you
