What do the neighbours say
When they hear us scream at night
Do they talk about a love
All in tatters
What do the neighbours know
About the heart and soul
The fire down below
That really matters

We can never know about the days to come
But we think about them anyway
And I wonder if I'm really with you now
Or just chasin' after some finer day

Anticipation, anticipation
Is makin' me late
Is keepin' me waitin'

Back the way it was before
Before the heart was broken
Playing hookey, making cookies
We were always jokin'
Back the way it used to be
Talks didn't end in a quarrel
Everything seemed so normal
Back the way it was before

Baby sneezes
Mommy pleases
Daddy breezes in
So good on paper
So romantic
So bewildering

I know nothin' stays the same

You come on strong telling everyone
About your latest role
How you saved the movie, stole the show
Well everybody knows
And if you have no time for all your offers
You'll see that I get called
And if you have no time for all your men
You'll see that I get balled

I stood in the doorway in my white nightgown
Red roses on cotton, I stood three feet from the ground
the grownups inside used words I didn't know
But still I enjoyed the show

They looked so lovely, they looked so self-assured
And I just like them would know it all when I matured
And I wouldn't be afraid of the darkness or the bears

You said we'd light the firmament
You said our love was permanent
You said we'd stick through thick and thin
Through up and down, through lose and win
But comes the first sign of stormy weather
You're packin' your bags in the trance
But you gotta give

I FORGET
WRITER CARLY SIMON

All my doctors and friends
Have concocted these theories
Weary of seeing me day after day
On the edge of my bed
Leery of living

Funny sometimes how you think
You found someone
Out of all the others you recall
He stays a little longer on your mind
The only one
When life becomes the hardest place to fall

If it wasn't love at all

(Bob Marley)
I want to love you
And treat you right
I want to love you
Every day and every night
We'll be together with a roof
Right over our head
We'll share the shelter of my single bed

It happens everyday
Two lovers with the best intentions to stay
Together, they decide to separate
Just how it happens, neither is certain
But it happens everyday

It happens everyday
After you break up, you say these words to your friends

It's hard to be tender
It's hard to stay open
When you're dizzy with anger
And your dreams have been broken

Lying with you 'neath the sky
The country is so green in the light
Loving you's the key to my survival

Today I was gonna conquer the world,
Go on ahead and make a stand.
Today I saw an old friend a dyin'
And as he lay there no one lent a hand,
I'm gonna call you up,
You'll forsake the one you love,
Though I've left you many times before
You are just a sinner.

We're coming to the edge,
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.

Let the river run,
Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation.

Let the river run
let all the dreamers wake the nation
Come, the New Jerusalem.

Silver cities rise
the morning lights the streets that lead them
and sirens call them on with a song

I love lilacs and avocados
Ukuleles and fireworks
And Woody Allen and walking in the snow
But you've got to know that

You're the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life

It must have been moonglow
Way up in the blue
It must have been moonglow
That led me straight to you

I still hear you saying
My love, hold me fast
And I start to praying

The wind is coming up strong and fast
And the moon is smiling on me
Miles from nowhere so small at last
In between the sky and the sea

I'm bound for the island
The tide is with me
I think I can make it before dawn

G Gm D
Nobody does it better
G Gm D
Makes me feel sad for the rest
G Gm F# Bm Em
Nobody does it half as good as you
A D
Baby you're the best

One more time
Play it again before you put your guitar down
My darlin', one more time
Now that you got me dreamin'
About the good times.

"Come on girl"
You said to me, "Let's fly away

Love
Who knows about love
And even those who do know
Won't reveal it

Back when you were in your prime
Love was just a waste of time
Once you'd flirt discreetly

Strange times in Portland, Maine
Lobsters dancing on the dock
Switzerland's been weird since they unplugged the clocks
Man and a woman living in Brooklyn Heights
Each convinced that the other is in the wrong
Last year the divorce rate tripled in Hong Kong
If through all the madness
We can stick together

Here come the priests, each one wailing and bemoaning
Lordy, they got their heads bowed down
Here come the madmen, they're too excited for atoning:
"Burn the mosque," they're shouting, "Burn it down!"

Save me a place, surround me with friendly faces
All of us have gathered here to share the end
To watch the world go up in flames

It makes me smile
To think of what we dreamed of

Where are those sons of summer now
With their wild-haired women in their
patchwork gowns
Who could laugh the lights away
Nights on the beach and bay

My father sits at night with no lights on
His cigarette glows in the dark.
The living room is still;
I walk by, no remark.
I tiptoe past the master bedroom where
My mother reads her magazines.
I hear her call sweet dreams,
But I forgot how to dream.

I was his foreigner
And he was mine.
We ate on terraces
And drank the cheapest wine.
And he believed in me
Down by the serpentine.
How was I to know
It was the best thing

And I'm so high
I can't go on
Oh but I
Can sing this song

Because the love's still growing
And the love's still growing

If I have known you only three days
Then how will I remember you in ten?
But I could swear I'll love you always
And if the gods will please be kind
Darling, I'll be with you soon, soon again.

And on the road you have some good times
But when the show is over you go home

If you want to be brave
And reach for the top of the sky
And the farthest point on the horizon
Do you know who you'll meet there
Great soldiers and seafarers,
Artists and dreamers
Who need to be close, close to the light
They need to be in danger of burning by fire

We have no secrets
We tell each other everything
About the lovers in the past
And why they didn't last
We share a cast of characters from A to Z
We know each others fantasies
And though we know each other better when we explore
Sometimes I wish

We, your dearest friends
Are having dinner without you
We´re witty and we use it to be vicious
In just another minute
We´ll laughing about you
To the untrained eye
It wouldn´t look suspicious

When you close your eyes do you see
White Lorelei, she's a dream
She's not half as magic as she seems
But she's so much fun to be with

When you close your eyes do you see
Places that you've never seen
Yet you've been there

Tonight you're mine completely,
You give your love so sweetly,
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes,
But will you love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure,
Or just a moment's pleasure,
Can I believe the magic of your sighs,

With a few good friends
And a stick or two
A house is built at a corner called Pooh
With a friend and a stick
Or three or four
A house is built where it wasn't before
With a window here
And there a door

You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye on the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you

Why'd you tell me this
Were you looking for my reaction
What do you need to know
Don't you know I'll always be your girl
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got loving eyes of my own

[Chorus:]

Lyrics by: Carly Simon & Jacob Brackman
Music by: Carly Simon, Peter Wood & Mike Manieri

The night is filled with pretty girls
Dancing shoes and flying hair
Not one of them would refuse
To follow you up the stairs
You could have your pick of them

Well I spent all night alone with you
And you weren't even there
Your eyes burned on me like the midnight sun
And somewhere in the night I knew
How much I really cared

'Cause you're the one
You're the one

Ты входил на вечеринку
Как будто ты шел на яхту
Твоя шляпа стратегически опустилась ниже одного глаза
Твой шарф был оранжевого цвета
У тебя на одном глазу была линза
Поскольку ты смотрел за своим танцем гавот
И все девочки мечтали, что они будут твоим партнером
Они были бы твоим партнером
