We're goin' hoppin'
We're goin' hoppin' today
Where things are poppin'
The Philadelphia way
We're gonna drop in
On all the music they play
On the Bandstand

Much of my life has been spiced with romance
Too many bedrooms I've slept in by chance
Drownin' out my sorrow
Longin' for tomorrow
Caught up in the big city blues

Rain pourin' down from a cold winter sky
Don't wanna smile and I'm too sad to cry

If I expected love when first we kissed,
Blame it on my youth.
If only for you I did exist,
Blame it on my youth.

I believed in everything,
Like a child of three;
You meant more than anything,

There are times
You live as if in a dream
Drawn by your heart to a distant door
One that opens
For a moment
To a world that you've never known before
Were you real
Or were you part of a dream

Got nobody left to listen to
Got no promises to keep
Something's gotta be out there
Fine a world for me out there
No more livin' half asleep

There's an island in the misty night
Little platform by the track

Intro: C G C G

C Em Am F C G
Wise men say, only fools rush in
F G Am F C G C
But I can't help falling in love with you
C Em Am F C G
Shall I stay, would it be a sin

CHORUS:
You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
you see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
if you only knew what I'm going through

You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

Time can never mend
The careless whispers
Of a good friend
To the heart and mind,
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort
In the truth
Pain is all you'll find

CONEY ISLAND cONEY ISLAND
Mama used to take us all to cONEY ISLAND
That’s what she did aLL OF US KIDS
Singin’ on the subway out to cONEY ISLAND
Then suddenly we’re there!

Everybody went to cONEY ISLAND
Fun in the summertime

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
But while she tried to be a star,
Tony always tended bar
Across the crowded floor, he worked from 8 til 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

Spirit move me every time I'm near you,
whirling like a cyclone in my mind.
Sweet Melissa, angel of my lifetime,
answer to all answers I can find.

Baby I love you, come, come,
come into my arms,
let me know the wonder of all of you,

When I hear a band blowin' basie
I can count on losing my cool
Take me where the rhythm is racy
Let me be a dancin' fool
Some prefer the café europa
Sipping dubonnet on a stool
Me, I get my kicks at the copa
That's where i'm a dancin' fool

I'm singin' to the world
It's time we let the spirit come in
Let it come on in
I'm singin' to the world
Everybody's caught in the spin
Look at where we've been
We've been runnin' around
Year after year Blinded with pride

Even Now
When there's someone else who cares
When there's someone home who's waiting just for me
Even now I think about you as I'm climbing up the stairs
And I wonder what to do so she won't see
That even now
When I know it wasn't right
And I found a better life than what we had

I make a date for golf
And you can bet you life it rains
I try to give a party
And the guy upstairs complains

I guess I'll go through life
Just catchin' colds and missin' trains
Everything happens to me

You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm findin' it hard to do anything

You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm goin' through

You know I Can't Smile Without You,
I Can't Smile Without You,
I can't laugh
and I can't sing,
I'm findin' it hard to do anything.
You see, I feel sad when you're sad,
I feel glad when you're glad,
If You only knew what I'm go ing through,

You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except when the soft rains fall
And drip from the leaves, then I recall
The thrill of being sheltered in your arms
Of course I do
But I get along without you very well

some people shoot for the stars
dream upon dream
they long to go far
chasing their rainbow so high
wish upon wish
they'll reach for the sky
but I got one little dream
and baby that's all I want

When I wake up everyday
I miss you
And it never goes away
I miss you
People smile and while
I take and even laugh
I'm not even half the man they knew
Without you

I wanna be somebody's baby
I don't want a child of my own
I was the one who was always strong
And I was always the one left alone
I was the one understandin'
And lettin' the other go free
Now I wanna be somebody's baby
Let somebody worry 'bout me

I've been alive forever
And I wrote the very first song,
I put the words and the melodies together -
I am music and I write the songs.
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-)

I write the songs that make the whole world sing.
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

I'm old-fashioned i love the moonlight
I love the old-fashioned things
The sound of rain upon a windowpane

The starry song that April sings
This year's fancies are passing fancies
But sighing sighs, holding hands
These my heart understands i'm old-fashioned

Don't have to look no more
Here I am
I'm your man
I'm what you've waited for
Here I am
I'm your man

You always said you liked the way

I've never been in love before,
Now all at once it's you,
It's you for evermore.
I've never been in love before,
I thought my heart was safe
And I thought I knew the score.

But this is wine

I was tired of my lady
We'd been together too long
Like a worn-out recording
Of a favorite song
So while she lay there sleeping
I read the paper in bed
And in the personal columns
There was this letter I read

There is somebody
In this world somebody
She was put on earth for me
Where can her love be?

See, I'm no exception
I need real affection
What's life worth living for

Got on a board a west bound seven forty seven
Didn't think before deciding what to do
All that talk of opportunities, TV breaks and movies
Rang true, sure rang true.

Seems it never rain in Southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California

How wonderful that I'm beholding
A never-never land unfolding
Where we polish up the stars
And mountains we move
In a life where all the pleasures
We will prove.
It's a new world, I see
A new world for me!

Don't look so sad,
It's not so bad you know.
It's just another night,
That's all it is.
It's not the first,
It's not the worst you know,
We've come through all the rest,
We'll get through this.

When it all goes crazy and the thrill is gone
the days get rainy and the nights get long
when you get that feeling you were born to lose
staring at your ceiling
thinking of your blues
when there's so much trouble that you want to cry
the world has crumbled
and you don't know why

Let me be your wings
Let me be your only love
Let me take you far beyond the stars
Let me be your wings
Let me lift you high above
Everything we're dreaming of will soon be ours
Anything that you desire
Anything at all

Cornelius:
Let me be your wings
Let me be your only love
Let me take you far beyond the stars

Let me be your wings
Let me lift you high above
Everything we're dreaming of will soon be ours

Goodbye
There's a word I've hated
All my life
Unanticipated tears
Can hurt so much
My friend
It's so sad to see you
At love's end

New york, new york or a village in io way
The only difference is the name
IF YOU’RE ALONE
Whether on main street or on broadway
IF YOU’RE ALONE they are both the same

A town's a lonely town when you pass through
And there is no one waiting there for you

There you are
Lookin' just the same as you did,
Last time I touched you
And, here I am
Close to gettin' tangled up
Inside the thought of you

Do you love him

We used to dance to harlem nocturne
We were a rhapsody at midnight
And when we kissed it was a slow burn
And we knew just the way to make it

Whiskey on the rocks whispers in the dark
List’nin’ to the blues
Lovin’ birdland and you

I used to visit all the very gay places
Those come-what may places
Where one relaxes on the axis
Of the wheel of life to get the feel of life
From jazz and cocktails

The girls I knew had sad
And sullen gray faces with distingué traces

I remember all my life
Rainin' down as cold as ice
Shadows of a man
A face through a window
Cryin' in the night
The night goes into

Mornin', just another day

Love?
love is what we read about in books my dear

here comes the bride is a lovely little ditty
but marrying for love is a foolish thing to do
coz love dont pay the morgage or put porridge in your bowl
deary marry the mole

In my loneliness
When you're gone and I'm all by myself
And I need your caress i just think of you

And the thought of you holding me near
Makes my loneliness soon disappear

Though you're far away

Moonlight becomes you, it goes with your hair
You certainly know the right thing to wear
Moonlight becomes you
I'm thrilled at the sight
And I could get so romantic tonight

You're all dressed up to go dreaming
Now don't tell me I'm wrong

My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you,
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see
How I adored you
So close, so close and yet so far

Carried your books from school,

(The Pebble and The Penguin)

One perfect moment
Just one humble stone
But oh, what a stone can do
It means that I have one love forever
And one love alone
A now and forever with you

I remember all my life
Rainin' down as cold as ice
Shadows of a man
A face through a window
Cryin' in the night
The night goes into

Mornin', just another day

"Hey old friend
are you ok old friend
what'll you say old friend
are we or are we unique
time goes by
everything else keeps changing
you and I we get continued next week
most friends fade

ON THE ROOF yOU AND I
Underneath the sky

After a day of insanity
Where everybody says that i am wrong
With the sun goin’ down
And the moon comin’ up
I know a place where i belong jUST FOLLOW ME

One more time As we lie by the firelight
Let me hold you Til you have to go away
Don't let it end
Let me pretend you'll stay

One more thrill
While we're still in our solitude
One more moment

Would you care to hear a crazy story
I mean it may be strange to you
If you saw it in a moving picture
You would say it couldn't be true

Oh, a country dance was being
Held in a garden
I felt a bump and heard an "Oh

Grey clouds rollin' over my head
I can see a storm in the sky
All night long you're tossin' in bed
All night long I'm outa my head it's

Rain, fallin' down from the sky
Kissin' my love goodbye
Rain fallin down

I've been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say.
I thought I'd leave you with a letter or a fiery speech
like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play.

And I've been dying for hours trying to fill up all the holes with some sense.
I'd like to know why you gave up and you threw it away,
I'd like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant.

You remind me I live in a shell,
Safe from the past, and doing okay,
But not very well.

No jolts, no surprises, no crisis arises.
My life goes along as it should.
It's all very nice, but not very good.

There goes my young and tender
The fling has ended regrets are gray

I'll never find another as so sweet
I will never meet again

I was a good sport
"Told her goodbye, " I said but why complain

Time, you found time enough to love
And I found love enough to hold you
So tonight I'll stir the fire you feel inside
Until the flames of love enfold you
Layin' beside you lost in the feeling
So glad you opened my door, come with me
Somewhere in the night we will know
Everything lovers can know

It was one of those summer's
lasting forever
making the winter wait
a summer of music and passion
the summer of '78
you appeared like the summer
sudden and perfect
and not a day too late

Summertime....and the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’...and the cotton is high
Yo’ daddy’s rich...and yo’ mama’s good-lookin’
So hush little baby......don’t you cry

One of these mornin’s..you gonna rise up singin’
You gonna spread your little wings...and you’ll take to the sky
But ’till that mornin’...there ain’t nothin’ gonna harm you

THIS IS MY TOWN this fabulous city
This inspirational town tHIS IS MY TOWN
Where gritty is pretty
This just sensational town

NEW YORK - all that i dreamed i’d be
Everything i call ‘me' rEALLY IS N-Y-C
THIS IS MY TOWN this talented city

This one will never sell
They'll never understand
I don't even sing it well
I try but I just can't
But I sing it every night
And I fight to keep it in
'Cause this one's for you
This one's for you

At any moment she'll be walking through that door
She won't find me behind it
cause the feeling is gone and
just won't come back anymore
I work so hard to find it

I've been up, down, trying to get the feeling again
All around, trying to get the feeling again

Doctor, my woman is comin' back home late today
Coudja maybe give me somethin' ?
'cause the feeling is gone and I must get it back right away
Before she sees that

I've been up, down, tryin' to get the feeling again
All around, tryin' to get the feeling again
The one that made me shiver

Oh, my love
my darling
I've hungered for your touch
a long lonely time

And time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much
are you still mine?

Last night, I said goodbye
Now-it seems year
I'm back in the city
Where nothing is clear
But thoughts of me -holding you
Bringing us near

And tell me

Maybe its much too early in the game
Ah, but I thought Id ask you just the same
What are you doing New Years
New Years Eve?

Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When its exactly twelve oclock that night
Welcoming in the New Year

Когда приходит октябрь,
Срывая снег с небес,
Над полем дымных крыш
Лишь самолета след…

И детвора спешит
Домой в вечерней мгле…
Когда-то без забот

Songs were made to sing
While we're young;
Every day is Spring
While we're young!
None can refuse,
Time flies so fast,
Too dear to lose
And too sweet to last!

Альбом "One Voice" (1979)

Something's in the air
I answer the phone and there's nobody there
And your changin' the way that you're wearin your hair
And I wonder
Yes I wonder
Something's on my mind

Oh isn’t it beautiful?
Gimme more wine, girl
I need another drink of that wine
Oh isn’t it beautiful?
Gimme another little taste of that good life
Yeah

Isn’t it better

You can have the t.v.
I'll take the radio
really, I don't want the t.v.
just please the radio
I'd like that chair if you don't want it
thank you
you keep the couch
you'll need a couch that's ok

I don't believe my eyes ,what have I seen
looking like you walked out of a magazine
oh, everyone's stopped and starin' at the door
go on you know you got it, let'em beg for more
hey you you're lookin' hot tonight
do you wanna dance
you know you're lookin' hot tonight
give me half a chance

Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you
If you're young at heart
For it's hard you will find to be narrow of mind
When you're young at heart

You can go to extremes with impossible schemes
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams
And life gets more exciting with each passing day

Ты знаешь, я не могу улыбаться без тебя;
Это просто не получается!
Не могу ни смеяться, ни петь,
Мне вообще сложно делать что-либо;
Ты знаешь, когда ты грустишь – грустно и мне,
А когда ты радуешься – я тоже доволен;
Если бы ты только знала,
Через что мне приходится проходить…
