Perfect Love

- Album: Beautiful World
- Singer: Paul Carrack

From the album Beautiful World

There's a light that shines on
Everyone tonight
But it seems we're just too blind to see
There's a love that's so deep
We should never want
But do we really know what we need?

I never thought there would be
Someone who'd mean so much to me
In my mind there was no
Such thing as perfect love
But now i'm holding you tonight
And i can see that you were right
To believe there can be perfect love

You can live your whole life trying to avoid
Being hurt, like you've been hurt before
Then oneday you may wake up
And feel a love so strong
That you can't hold it back anymore

I never thought that there could be
Someone who'd mean so much to me
In my mind there was no
Such thing as perfect love
But now i'm holding you so tonight
And i can see that you were right
To believe there could be perfect love

Ever since you called my name
Nothing's ever been the same
I want to give my heart to you
And your perfect love so true
Oh your perfect love
But now you're here with me tonight
And i can see that you were right
To believe there can be perfect love

Love me love me love me
Say you do
Let me fly away
With you
For my love is like
The wind
And wild is the wind

Give me more
Than one caress
Satisfy this
Hungriness
Let the wind
Blow through your heart

For wild is the wind
You...
Touch me...
I hear the sound
Of mandolins
You...
Kiss me...
With your kiss
My life begins
You're spring to me
All things
To me

Don't you know you're
Life itself
Like a leaf clings
To a tree
Oh my darling,
Cling to me
For we're creatures
Of the wind
And wild is the wind
So wild is the wind

Wild is the wind
Wild is the wind

- Album: Up From The Ashes
- Singer: Don Dokken

From the album Up From The Ashes

(dokken, white, spiro)


Look inside my eyes
You can see everywhere i've been
You can drag me down, i'll come right back again.

You gotta hold on to every little thing
Every little bag of bones
When the love's gone you shoot from the hip
You make or break it on your own
Love takes your heart away and gives it back in pieces
I look at myself and say now all i have to say)
(is)'i know who to believe in'

Chorus:
Mirror, mirror on the wall
I'm still here, i survived it all
Mirror, mirror, tell me more.
If that was love then love is war.

I am gonna fight until i win
Another place in time, i might have given in

Chorus

How Fortunate the Man with None

- Album: Into The Labyrinth
- Singer: Dead Can Dance

From the album Into the Labyrinth

You saw sagacious Solomon
You know what came of him,
To him complexities seemed plain.
He cursed the hour that gave birth to him
And saw that everything was vain.
How great and wise was Solomon.
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It's wisdom that had brought him to this state.
How fortunate the man with none.

You saw courageous Caesar next
You know what he became.
They deified him in his life
Then had him murdered just the same.
And as they raised the fatal knife
How loud he cried: you too my son!
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It's courage that had brought him to that state.
How fortunate the man with none.

You heard of honest Socrates
The man who never lied:
They weren't so grateful as you'd think
Instead the rulers fixed to have him tried
And handed him the poisoned drink.
How honest was the people's noble son.
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It's honesty that brought him to that state.
How fortunate the man with none.

Here you can see respectable folk
Keeping to God's own laws.
So far he hasn't taken heed.
You who sit safe and warm indoors
Help to relieve out bitter need.
How virtuously we had begun.
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It's fear of god that brought us to that state.
How fortunate the man with none.

Why Do You Keep Me Waiting

- Album: On The Waters
- Singer: Bread

From the album On The Waters

Oh, my love, why do you keep me waiting?
What, my love, are you contemplating?
Time goes by still you never bat an eye,
Tell me why, my love, do you have to stay far away?
Late at night while i lay asleepin',
Pale moonlight through my window weepin',
I see you in a color fantasy, cover me
Why, my love, do you have to fade away,
Have to fade away? why my love, won't you tell me
Why, my love, do you keep me waiting? why, my love,
Are you hesitating? time goes by, are you waiting
For another day? tell me why you think
Time will never fade away?

Let Your Love Go

- Album: Bread Retrospective
- Singer: Bread

From the album Bread Retrospective

There's a reason for the life that you live
And there's pleasin' that i know you can give
And i been crayin' the love you been sayin'
So baby won't you give it to me

You're tellin' me no - no - no
You don't want to let your love go
I'm tellin' you yes - yes - yes
You really oughta be gettin' some happiness

I made a motion and it's out on the floor
And it's a notion that i'd love to explore
'cause i been tastin' the love you been wastin'
So baby won't you give it to me...

You're a lady
And i'm here in the palm of your hand
Such a lady
How much more do you think i can stand?

I Love A Piano

- Album: Cheek To Cheek Irving Berlin Songbook
- Singer: Irving Berlin

From the album Cheek To Cheek: Irving Berlin Songbook

[1st verse:]
As a child i went wild when a band played
How i ran to the man when his hand swayed
Clarinets were my pets, and a slide trombone i thought was simply
Divine
But today when they play i could hiss them
Ev'ry bar is a jar to my system
But there's one musical instrument that i call mine

[chorus:]
I love a piano, i love a piano
I love to hear somebody play
Upon a piano, a grand piano
It simply carries me away

I know a fine way to treat a steinway
I love to run my fingers o'er the keys, the ivories

And with the pedal i love to meddle
When padarewski comes this way
I'm so delighted if i'm invited
To hear that long haired genius play

So you can keep your fiddle and your bow
Give me a p-i-a-n-o, oh, oh
I love to stop right beside an upright
Or a high toned baby grand

[2nd verse:]
When a green tetrazine starts to warble
I grow cold as an old piece of marble
I allude to the crude little party singer who don't know when to pause
At her best i detest the soprano
But i run to the one at the piano
I always love the accomp'niment and that's because
