On the quiet street in the city
A little old man walked alone
Shuffling through the autumn afternoon
And the autumn leaves reminded him
Another summer's come and gone
He had a long long midnight ahead waiting for June
The among the leaves near an orphan's home
A piece of paper caught his eyes
And he stood to pick it up with trembling hands
And as he read the childish writing
The old man began to cry
'Cause the words burned inside him like a brand
" Whoever finds this , I love you
Whoever finds this , I need you
I even got no one to talk to
So , whoever finds this , I love you "
Well , the old man's eyes searched the orphan's home
And came to rest upon a child
With her nose pressed up against the window pane
And the old man knew he'd found a friend at last
So he waved at her and smiled
And they both knew they'd spend the winter
Laughing at the rain
And they did spend the winter laughing at the rain ,
Talking through the fence ,
Exchanging little gifts they've made for each other.
The old man would carve toys,
And the little girl would draw pictures fo beautiful ladies
And they laughed a lot.
But then one day, on the first of June,
The lttle girl ran to the fence -- the old man wasn't there.
And , somehow she knew he was never coming beck.
So she went back to her lttle room
Took a crayon,and wrote :
" Whoever finds this , I love you
Whoever finds this , I need you
I even got no one to talk to
So , whoever finds this , I love you "
You Got A Nerve 齊豫
Here you stand with tears in your eyes
Crying into my arms
Pleading with me to take you back
Teasing me with your charms
But you got a nerve to come around here
After all you've said and done
I thought I had seen everything
Obviously , I was wrong
'Cause where were you when the sun went down
Skies turned dark and grey
Where were you when the north winds blew
Honey , tell me where were you ?
I heard you were living down in Brazil
Whth them high class friends of mine
I can't believe I was so naive
Did I never once cross your mind ?
You told them all I was down and out
My existence you even denied
Oh , what pleasure it gives me now
To know that you're bleeding inside
You were my life , you were my breath
You were every move I ever made
But recently my opinion's changed
The Joke's on you I'm afraid
'Cause I have a man so beautiful
For you I could no longer wait
Please go away , you may spoil everything
Your love has turned up too late
Go away , go away ; please , please go away
I loved you once , I don't love you now
Please , please go away
Waiting For The Morning 齊豫
Are you walking through an empty room
With a picture in your hands
How could anyone just leave you here
Alone in no - man's land
After all the color of the night
Just to know the shade of blue
And the silent cage can barely hide
A new day shining' through
And we'll all be waiting for the morning
We'll be one step further from the start
There's a new day waiting in the winds again
And a chance to play a better part
Then we'll all be waiting for the morning
You'd be one step closer to your heart
Would it be so hard to start again
If our love should disappear
I believe the force that leads you on
Is stronger than your fears
And we'll all be waiting for the morning
We'll be one step further from the start
There's a new day waiting in the winds again
And a chance to play a better part
The we'll all be waiting for the morning
You'd be one step closer to your heart
Make No Mistake, He's Mine 齊豫
Don't call him up anymore
Cause I don't wanna hear your voice
I don't wanna see your face answer his door
Make no mistake , he's mine , he's mine He's mine
He only knows how I feel I only know what he's like
When he needs me , oh , how he needs me
Deep in the night Make no mistake ,
he's mine , he's mine He's mine
Don't get too close when you dance
'Cause I don't wanna hear from my friends
You were out on the town
There in his arms , there in his arms
Don't include him in your dreams ( I wanna be in his dreams )
Cause I don't wanna close my eyes ( my eyes )
I don't wanna know where he goes
Each night when he leaves
Make no mistake , he's mine , he's mine He's mine
Don't call him up anymore
Don't call him up anymore
He's So Beautiful To Me 齊豫
He's so beautiful to me
And in my wildest dreams
Did I ever dream
he would come to me
Now I was lost but I have found
True heaven through his love
And comfort knowing he's so beautiful to me
He's the key to the door
of joy never ending
He's the light, he's the way
And without him I say
I can't go on
And I will love him till I die
And even then I know
This love will grow and grow
He's so beautful to me
For he,
he's beautiful to me
He gives me so much love
Without thinking of what he gets from me
He's the road with no end
He's the life everlasting
He's a friend , he's a king
And to him I will bring
all I have
And I will love him till I die
And even then I know
This love will grow and grow
He's beautiful to me
He's beautiful to me
So beautiful to me
Angels, Roses And Rain 齊豫
Last night my little girl came to my bedroom
I heard her whisper softly from the door
'Mommy , I can't sleep cause I miss papa
Does papa miss me like he did before ?
I took her in my arms and then I told her
'Darling , papa misses you the same'
But little girls and mommies cry with teardrops
Angels cry with roses and with rain
Angels cry roses and rain Angels don't know any pain
So darling when you hear your papa's name
Think of angels , roses , and rain and rain
Angels , roses , and rain
This morning she was playing in the kitchen
Then she took her doll and went outside
I watched her as she walked among the roses
I saw a little sadness in her eyes
But then I heard the rain drop on the window
And softly as the clouds that moved above
My little girl picked up her doll and whispered
'That's the way my papa sends his love !
Angels cry roses and rain Angels don't know any pain
So darling when you hear your papa's name
Think of angels , roses and rain and rain
Angels cry roses and rain Angels don't know any pain
So darling when you hear your papa's name
Theink of angels , roses , and rain
Angels , roses and rain
Angels , roses and rain
Lady On The Other Side Of Town 齊豫
All his friends would go to
movies on Friday nights
They'd be drinking beer
and acting like clowns
But he would go to see a lady
on the other side of town
She lived just a block away from Blue Street
Near the cemetery grounds
In a two story house by the river
On the other side of town (chorus)
And the lady on the other side of town
Never tried to make him cry or put him down
And today he wished the lady could be found
On the other side of town
She was 34 and he was 19
It was a social oddity
But nobody knew save the cat and the wind
That an older woman loved him
They'd play Joni Mitchell records for hours
Smoking cigarettes and watching TV
On a mattress on the floor by the window
Where she made love to him (chorus)
And the lady on the other side of town
Never tried to make him cry or put him down
And today he wished the lady could be found
On the other side of town
" I'll make you some tea,"
the lady would say
" If you would play piano for me "
Music......
And the lady missed her husband
She talked of her divorce all the time
Oh, she missed her lover
And her was missing his
Cause his lover was an actress
She made him promises and let him down
So he had to find his love from a lady
On the other side of town (chorus)
And the lady on the other side of town
Never tried to make him cry or put him down
And today he wished the lady could be found
On the other side of town
The cold icy beam of the moonlight
Cast its shadows on their bodies that danced
And he noticed that the lady had fallen asleep
So he slipped on his pants
And he wrote her a note on hte table
Then he put the pencil down
Said that he was gonna leave the lady
On the other side of town (chorus)
And the lady on the other side of town
Never tried to make him cry or put him down
And today he wished the lady could be found
On the other side of town
As he closed the gate behind him
The tears welled up in her eyes
With the note in her hand at the window
She was sadly waving good-bye
Well he never knew how much that he loved her
And the thought never did occur
The someday he'd be somewhere far away
And still be thinking of her
And still be thinking of her
And the lady on the other side of town
Never tried to make him cry or put him down
And today he wished the lady could be found
On the other side
On the other side
On the other side of town
Starry , starry night paint your palette blue and grey
Look out on a summer?s day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills , sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set hem free
They would not listen , they did not know how
Perhaps , they?ll listen now
Starry , starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent?s eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist?s loving hand
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for you sanity And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen , they did not know how
Perhaps , they?ll listen now
For they could not love you and still you love was true
And when no hope was left inside on that starry ,
starry night You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you , VIncent
This wourd was never meant for one as beautiful as you
Starry , Starry night Portraits hung in empty hall
Frameless heads on namesless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can?t forget
Like the strangers that you?ve met
The ragged man in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know what you tried to say to
How you suffered for your sanity
Then how you tried to set them free
They would not listen , they?re not listening stiff
Perhaps, they never will
Yesterday When I Was Young 齊豫
Yesterday when I was young
The taste of life was sweet like rain upon my tongue
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
The way an evening breeze would tease a candle flame
The thousand dreams I dreamed
The splendid things I planned
I always built to last on weekend shifting sand
I lived by night and shinned the naked light of day
And only now I see how the years have run away
Yesterday when I was young
There were so many songs that waited to be sung
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me
And so musch pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
I ran so fast in time and youth at last ran out
I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation that I can recall
Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all
Yesterday the moon was blue
And every craze day brought something new to do
And I used my mageic age as if it were a wand
