05 YOU SET MY HEART ON FIRE
06 LOVE BUG

07 WORLD OF EMOTION

In a world of many changes

Nothing can ever stay the same

When I’m feeling sad and lonely

Only you can ease the pain

I can’t imagine you out of my life

I can’t imagine you leaving my side

Chorus:

I know this world of emotion

Something that was meant to be

I know this thrill and devotion

Is something that you share with me

Can you feel it?

Can you feel it?

Can you feel my love for you? (repeat)

When I wake up in the morning
I can only think of you

I put my make up and the right shine

There’s some many things to do

I threw it all his skin on my mind

*

I know this world…

Eternity

Can you feel it…

I can’t imagine…

Chorus:

I know this world of emotion

Something that was meant to be

I know this thrill and devotion

Is something that you share with me

Can you feel it?

Can you feel it?

Can you feel my love for you? (repeat)

08 THIS IS THE MOMENT

I couldn’t believe when we had to part

(I couldn’t believe it 3x)

Because you went away with a piece of my heart

But then I got your letter saying you were homeward bound

Now I just count the seconds to touch down

(I count those seconds to touch down)

Oh baby this is the moment

I’ve been waiting for

To have you back in these two arms

Is the perfect cure

This is the moment

I’ve been dreaming of

No words cannot express

But goodbye loneliness ah ha

They say it’s great to be young and in love

(they say it’s great to be young)

But everywhere I look, people breaking up

When you reach out for me

Just as though you read my thoughts

Then I’m so thankful for the love we’ve got

(So thankful for the love we’ve got)

Chorus

Bridge:

Baby you know
It's been a long time
And maybe you know…

This is the moment …

09 FOUNDATION OF LOVE
10 TIME FOR A CHANGE OF HEART

11 YOU CAN DO MAGIC

You can do magic
You took the raindrops that filled my eyes
And put them back up in the skies
And then made the gray skies turn blue

You can do magic
You took the heart that was broken in two
And you put it back together,

Know how to keep it beating
I beg you not to stop and pray

You keep repeating this magic (magic)

You can do magic, baby
You can do magic (magic)
And I know that every dream of every lover comes true
When you can do magic (magic)
Like you can do magic, honey
Love is never tragical,

Then ya got the magical feelings coming through

I was a loser love was a game

That I’ve never learned
I lost at every mother’s son

Until I just forgot how to play
Now I remember you took my hand

And showed me the way
And it must’ve been the magic added to your kissing
‘Cause love is never good if love is ever missing

Your magic magic,

You can do magic, baby
You can do magic magic
And I know that every dream of every lover comes true
When you can do magic (magic)
Like you can do magic, honey
Love is never tragical,

Then ya got the magical feelings coming through (feelings coming through)

You can do magic (magic)
You can do magic, baby
You can do magic (magic)
And I know that every dream of every lover comes true
When you can do magic (magic)
Like you can do magic, baby
You can do magic (magic)
And I know that every dream of every lover ...

12 SMARTY PANTS
13 BAND OF GOLD
Now that you've gone

All that's left is a band of gold

All that's left are the dreams I hold

Band of gold

And the memories of what love could be

If you were still here with me

You took me from the shelter of my mother

I have never known or loved another

We kissed after taking vows

That night on our honeymoon

We stayed in separate rooms

I wait in the darkness of my lonely room

Filled with sadness filled with gloom

Hoping soon

That you'll walk back through that door

And love me like you tried before

Now that you've gone

All that's left is a band of gold

All that's left are the dreams I hold

Band of gold

And memories of what love could be

If you were still here with me

Don't you know that I wait

In the darkness of my lonely room

Filled with sadness filled with gloom

Hoping soon

That you'lol walk back through that door

And love me like you tried before

Since you've been gone

All that's left is a band of gold

All that's left are the dreams I hold

Band of gold

And the memories of what love could be

If you were still here with me

I wait in the darkness of my lonely room

Filled with sadness filled with gloom

Hoping soon

That you'll walk back through that door

And love me like you tried before

14 YOU'RE SO VAIN

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 in 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

You're so vain

I'll bet you think this song is about you

Don't you? Don't you?

You had me several years ago

When I was still quite naive

Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair

And that you would never leave

But you gave away the things you loved

And one of them was me

I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee

Clouds in my coffee, and

You're so vain

You probably think this song is about you

You're so vain

I'll bet you think this song is about you

Don't you? Don't you?

I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee

Clouds in my coffee, and

You're so vain

You probably think this song is about you

You're so vain

I'll bet you think this song is about you

Don't you? Don't you?

Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga

And your horse naturally won

Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia

To see the total eclipse of the sun

Well, you're where you should be all the time

And when you're not, you're with

Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend

Wife of a close friend, and

You're so vain

You probably think this song is about you

You're so vain

I'll bet you think this song is about you

Don't you? Don't you? Don't you?

You're so vain

You probably think this song is about you

You're so vain

You probably think this song is about you

You're so vain

You probably think this song is about you

You're so vain (so vain)

I'll bet you think this song is about you

Don't you? Don't you? Don't you?

No matter what you say or do,

I'm gonna bounce right back to you now

just like a yo yo.

Just like a yo yo.

15 DON'T PLAY THAT SONG

Don't play that song for me
'Cause it brings back memories
Of days that I once knew
The days that I spent with you
Oh no, don't let him play it
It fills my heart with pain
Please stop it right away
I remember just-a what he said

He said darling, "Darling, I love you"
And I know that he lied
"Darling, I love you"
You know that you lied
"Darling, I love you"
You know that you lied, you lied,
You lied, lied, lied, lied (to me)

Hey Mr., don't play it no more
Don't play it no more
I can't stand it, don't play it no more
don't play it no more, no more, no more

I Remember on our first date
He kissed me and he walked away
I was only seventeen
I didn't think he could be so mean

He told me darling
"Darling, I love you"
Baby, baby you lied
"Darling, I need you"
Oooooh you lied
"Darling, I love you"
You know that you lied, lied, lied (to me)

Ohh darling
"Darling, I love you"
You know that you lied
"Darling I need you"
You know I know you lied
"Darling, I love you:
Darling you lied, you lied, you lied
Oooh you lied to me
Don't play it no more
I can't stand it
Don't play it no more
(repeat to fade)

16 STONEY END

I was born from love

And my poor mother worked the mines

I was raised on the Good Book Jesus 

Till I read between the lines

Now I don't believe

I want to see the morning

Chorus:

Going down the stoney end

I never wanted to go

Down the stoney end

Mama let me start all over

Cradle me,  Mama,  cradle me again

I can still remember him 

With love light in his eyes

But the light flickered out and parted

As the sun began to rise

Now I don't believe

I want to see the morning

Going down the stoney end

I never wanted to go

Down the stoney end

Mama let me start all over

Cradle me,  mama, cradle me again

(Cradle me,  mama, cradle me again

Mama, cradle me again...)

Never mind the forecast

'Cause the sky has lost control

'Cause the furry and the broken thunders

Come to match my raging soul

Now I don't  believe

I want to see the morning

Going down the stoney end

I never wanted to go

Down the stoney and

Mama let me start all over

Cradle me,  mama,  cradle me again

Going down the stoney end...

17 RIVER DEEP, MOUNTAIN HIGH

When I was a little girl I had a rag doll
The only doll I’ve ever owned
Now I love you just the way I loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown
And it gets stronger in every way
And it gets deeper let me say
And it gets higher day by day

Do I love you my oh my
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

When you were a young boy did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I’m gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No I’ll never let you down
Cause it goes on and on like a river flows
And it gets bigger baby and heaven knows
And it gets sweeter baby as it grows

Do I love you my oh my
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
And I love you baby like a robin loves to sing
And I love you baby like a schoolboy loves his bag
And I love you baby river deep mountain high
