Let's Call it a Day

The look of love is in your eyes A look your smile can't disguise The look of love is saying so much more than just words could ever say And what my heart has heard, well it takes my breath away I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you How long I have waited Waited just to love you, now that I have found you You've got the Look of love, it's on your face A look that time can't erase Be mine tonight, let this be just the start of so many nights like this Let's take a lover's vow and then seal it with a kiss I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you How long I have waited Waited just to love you, now that I have found you Don't ever go Don't ever go

Willow weep for me Willow weep for me Bent your branches down along the ground and cover me Listen to my plea Hear me willow and weep for me Gone my lover's dreams Lovely summer dreams Gone and left me here To weep my tears along the stream Sad as I can be Hear me willow and weep for me Whisper to the wind and say they love has sinned To leave my heart a sign And crying alone Murmur to the night Hide her starry light So none will find me sighing Crying all alone Weeping willow tree Weeping sympathy Bent your branches down along the ground and cover me Listen to me plea Hear me willow and weep for me Willow, willow, weep for me

Never let me go Love me much too much If you let me go Life will lose its touch What would I be Without you? There's no place for me Without you Never let me go I'd be so lost if you went away There'd be a thousand hours in a day Without you, I know Because of one caress My world was overturned At the very start All my bridges burned By my flaming heart You'd never leave me, would you? You couldn't hurt me, could you? Never let me go, never let me go

You work so damn hard at your job all day The bossman's watching, there's no time to play You should jump in your car, come on right home You know I'm waiting, you'll never be alone And I say, baby let's call it a day And I say, baby let's call it a day I've got my hair pulled back and my tie's too tight I work that overtime every night But there are bills to pay, no end in sight Say the words, make me feel alright And you say, baby let's call it a day And you say, baby let's call it a day The moon's waxing and waning and waning and waxing If you're fit for the saving, you're fit for the taxing So let's keep making our babies, bending our bedsprings And hope tomorrow's maybes will take care of our suffering And you say, baby let's call it a day And I say, baby let's call it a day And we say, baby let's call it a day And we say, baby let's call it a day

Candy 02:58
Candy I call my sugar Candy Because I'm sweet on Candy And Candy's sweet on me She understands me My understanding Candy And Candy's always handy When I need sympathy I wish that there were four of her So I could love much more of her She has taken my complete heart Got a sweet tooth for my sweetheart Candy, Well it'll be just dandy When I can take my Candy And make her mine all mine

The moon and stars, soft jazz guitars Warm night follow a day Of wine and coos, and gentle woos Sweet moments, so cliché A soft embrace, a kiss, a taste A glance frozen in time A heart's loud thump, a fresh goosebump A lover that says, you're mine Two foreheads touch, a subtle blush A sky so midnight blue Our hands that cling while soft I sing A sweet lullaby for two
7.
Centerpiece 03:54
The more I'm with you pretty baby The more I feel my love increase I'm building all my dreams around you My happiness will never cease But nothing's any good without you 'Cause baby you're my centerpiece We'll buy a house and garden somewhere Along a country road a piece A little cottage on the outskirts Where we can really find release But nothing's any good without you 'Cause baby you're my centerpiece
8.
Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine I'm afraid the masquerade is over And so is love, and so is love Your words don't mean what they used to me They were once inspired, now they're just routine I'm afraid the masquerade is over And so is love, and so is love I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci And get myself a clown's disguise And learn to laugh like Pagliacci With tears in my eyes You look the same, you're a lot the same But my heart says no, no you're not the same I'm afraid the masquerade is over And so is love, and so is love

Agitée comme un roseau dans la tourmente Tout m'énerve et tout m'irrite en ce moment Le monde me désenchante Par ce beau jour de printemps Fatiguée, désabusée et sans courage Impatiente je ne sais plus ce qui m'attends Je sens arriver l'orage Par ce beau jour de printemps Je voudrais me sentir loin d'ici Fuir la vie de chaque jour Et peut-être en m'évadant ainsi Y trouverais-je l'amour Les bourgeons des marronniers De mon enfance, L'aubépine, La jacinthe, et les lilas blancs En vain me chantent leur romance Douterais-tu du printemps? Tout est si joyeux Pourtant je suis malheureuse D'où me vient tout ce tourment O mon ami c'est le printemps

Hush now, don’t explain; There ain’t nothing to gain. Well, I’m glad you’re back, But don’t explain. Quiet, baby, don’t explain; You know there ain’t nothing to gain. Skip that the lipstick, And don’t explain. You know that I love you, And what love endures. All my thoughts are of you, I am so completely yours. Don’t wanna hear folks chatter, ‘Cause I know you cheat. Right or wrong, don’t matter, When you’re with me, sweet. Hush now, don’t explain; You are my joy, and you’re my pain. My life’s yours, love So don’t explain.

Its quarter to three, There's no one in the place cept you and me So set em up joe I got a little story I think you oughtta know Were drinking my friend To the end of a brief episode So make it one for my baby And one more for the road I know the routine Put another nickel in that there machine Im feeling so bad Wont you make the music easy and sad I could tell you a lot But you gotta to be true to your code So make it one for my baby And one more for the road Youd never know it But buddy Im a kind of poet And Ive got a lot of things I wanna say And if Im gloomy, you've simply gotta listen to me Until it's all talked away Well, that's how it goes And joe I know you're gettin anxious to close So thanks for the cheer I hope you didn't mind My bending your ear But this torch that I found Must be drowned Or it soon might explode So make it one for my baby And one more for the road
