Sailing On The Tide

Here I am feeling confined
Neon lights are making me blind
I need time out in the sunshine
The city and me just don't agree
On who I should be
Maybe I should get away
Take myself a holiday

No more calls begging my time
No more walls for me to climb
I can't wait to feel the sunshine
Leaving at down
After I'm gone life go on
Someone's gonna take my place
Runnin'n in the human race

(*) Sailing on the tide in the morning
Now I love that salty air
Sailing to the wide horizon
Let the fresh winds
Guide us there
Maybe if you feel like it, too
You might like to make the run
Sailing over the ocean
To my beautiful island in the sun

Over there people are slow
Low key life is all that they know
Lying around high on the sunshine
Lazy lagoons warm afternoons
Tropical moons
Sleepy beaches everywhere
Anyone is welcome there

Make no plans play it by ear
Could be days maybe a year
I'm gonna be free in the sunshine
Takin' my time tryin' to find
Some peace of mind
Nothin's gonna hurry me
Nothin's gonna worry me

Repeat (*)

Sailing on the wide horizon
Let the fresh winds
Guide us there
Maybe if you feel like it, too
You might like to make the run
Sailing over the ocean
To my beatiful island in the sun

Sandy

Looking at you
I'm almost home again
Something in you
Puts me at ease
Yes, I know that you're
Suspicious of me
Do I mean the things I say?
You know I've been in love before
That much is true
But though I've been in love before
It wasn't with you

Ooh, Sandy
Could we spend the day together
You know how rainy weather
Gets me down when I'm alone
You, Sandy
You gotta be a friend today
An hour with you would
Chase the winter away

Being with you
I'm like a child again
Your eyes can see
Clearer than mine
No one ever made me quite so aware
No one ever took the time
The time it took surprises me
Nothing's the same
As if my life began again
Hearing your name

Ooh, Sandy
Could we spend the day together?
You know how rainy weather
Gets me down when I'm alone
You, Sandy
You gotta be a friend today
An hour with you would
Chase the winter away

Saturday

Saturday began just the same as other days
But ended up different in many ways
Love is in my world since Saturday

Mornin' came but somehow it didn't seem the same
The sadness of Friday had somehow changed
To the happy sounds of Saturday
Saturday, ever-loving Saturday

I whistle to bluebirds
I tried to tell them how you brought me sunshine
My head’s filled with new words
That sing to the sounds of happy day after Friday

(*) Come and see the flowers of love she gave to me
The touches of laughter and harmony
To the happy sounds of Saturday
Saturday, ever-loving Saturday

My head's full of new words
Sing to the sounds of the day after Friday
Day after Friday

Repeat (*)

Saturday, Saturday, ever-loving Saturday

-------------------------------------------------

Sing

Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things not bad
Sing of happy not sad.

Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not
Good enough for anyone
Else to hear
Just sing, sing a song.

Sing, sing a song
Let the world sing along
Sing of love there could be
Sing for you and for me.

Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not

Good enough for anyone else to hear
Just sing, sing a song

-------------------------------------------------

Slow Dance

It's a slow dance
Take a little time for some romance
Come a little closer baby, slow dance
Whisperin' the words I want to hear

It's been a long night
Now my head is on your shoulder and it's so right
Your sweet and gentle kisses on these closin' eyes
Tonight I will be dreaming of you

(*) When I saw you for the first time
I never thought that this could be
I never thought you'd come my way
I never thought I'd hear you say 'dance with me'

Now it's a slow dance

Repeat (*)

Now it's a slow song
Seems that I've been waiting for it so long
Waiting for this moment and someone like you
To make all my dreams come true


Someone like you, oh baby

Solitaire

There was a man
A lonely man
Who lost his love
Through his indifference

A heart that cared
That went unshared
Until it died
Within his silence

And solitare's the only game in town
And every road that takes him
Takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again

And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love
It always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire

A little hope
Goes up in smoke
Just how it goes
Goes without saying

There was a man
A lonely man
Who would command
The hand he's playing

And solitare's the only game in town
And every road that takes him
Takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again

And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love
It always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire

And solitare's the only game in town

And every road that takes him
Takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire

----------------------------------------------
 
Somebody's Been Lyin'

Somebody's been lyin'
Somebody's been callin' me tellin' me he still loves me
But not the way I thought it would be
He's makin' fun of me and laughin' at my dreams
And I know that he keeps...

Sayin' not to worry
He's tellin' me to just hold on
But he's not here to learn on
And words won't warm my bed now he's gone
It isn't easy letting go of what we had
And I guess I'm just scared

And I still believe him though
I'd be wiser to go on my own way

Somebody's been lyin'
And I know you're tellin' me only the things you want to
I guess I lie as much as you do
It seems so funny letting go of yesterday
Guess we're much too afraid and we're much too alone
Were we just too much in love

--------------------------------
 
Someday

Someday, rested from hours of sleeping
We'll stay safely behind what we're keeping
You'll seem warmer than I had remembered you
Lying so close I'll be able to feel you breathe
I could never leave

One day, when I am able to love you
I'll come back from wherever I've been to
I'll see you looking the same as you always have
Lovely, so lovely, I'll cling to the love you give
So I'll start to live

Someday is coming
If I believe it
Someday always brings the good life you knew ...
Ever back to you

(*) How I need you
Someday, all I can give you is someday
Someday, all I can offer is someday
Please say that you'll be waiting when someday comes
Promise me this and a kiss, to keep what you are
Always close to me

----------------------------------------------------

Sometimes

Sometimes not often enough
We reflect upon the good things
And those thoughs always center around those we love
And I think about those people who mean so much to me
And for so many years have made me so very happy
And I count the times I have forgotten to say "thank you"
And just how much I love them

-------------------------------------------------------
 
Strength Of A Woman

You've been so quiet lately
Sometimes I wonder has the cat got your tongue
You seem to be a thousand miles away
Don't look me in the eyes and say it's OK
Don't Lie

I got this funny feelin' baby
That it's going to be that time again
When you have the need for someone else
I know you better than you know yourself

(*)Sometimes it takes the strength of a woman
To understand the weakness of her man
It's gonna the strength of this woman
To keep fightn' for the lovin' of her man

And darlin' when you been satisfied
And it isn't know you no more
Think of me, I'll be here alone
Waitin' for you to find your way back home

(*)

Oh I know how hard you tried
To hide this all from me
But if you keep a silent heart
I can't give you what you need
So hold me close, and hold me tight
Let's say goodnight, and never say good-bye

-------------------------------
 
Sweet Sweet Smile

Yoy're always in my heart
From early in the mornin' til it's dark
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile every day

When I wake up in the mornin'
And I see you there
I always whisper a little prayer
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile every day

** I gotta know that you love me
And that you want me
And that you'll always be there
I've gotta know that you care

## And I gotta feel your arms around me
And that you need me
And that you'll always be there
I've gotta know that you care

If my times are bringin' me down
You're the only one that I want around
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile every day

And if I'll all strung out
You're the only one who can straighten me out
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile every day

Repeat **
Repeat ##
Repeat **
Repeat ##

Yoy're always in my heart
From early in the mornin' til it's dark
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile every day
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile every day
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile every day
