As Time Goes By

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply as time goes by

And when two lovers woo
They still say "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings, as time goes by

Moonlight and love songs never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy, and hate
Woman needs man, and man must have his mate
That no one can deny

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers as time goes by

(Instrumental)

Moonlight and love songs never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy, and hate
Woman needs man, and man must have his mate
That no one can deny

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers as time goes by

Ashamed

I'm so ashamed of my eyes cause they still cry for you
After they both watched my hand wave goodbye to you
I've told them time and time again that this will never do
And I've told them how you always laughed at teardrops
I'm so ashamed of my arms for missing you
Last night I woke up just in time to see them reach for you
And now my heart confesses it's still wants you too
I'm so ashamed of them all for loving you

Autumn Leaves

The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon Ill hear old winters song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
Cest une chanson, qui nous ressemble
Toi tu maimais et je taimais
Nous vivions tous, les deux ensemble
Toi que maimais moi qui taimais
Mais la vie spare ceux qui saiment
Tout doucement sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable les pas des amants dsunis

Baby It's Cold Outside

I really can't stay
Baby, it's cold outside
I've got to go away
But baby, it's cold outside

This evening has been
Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice
I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice

My mother will start to worry
Beautiful, what's your hurry?
My father will be pacing the floor
Listen to that fireplace roar

So really I'd better scurry
Beautiful, please don't hurry
Well, maybe just a half a drink more
Put some records on while I pour

Neighbors might think
Baby, it's bad out there
Say what's in this drink?
No cabs to be had out there

I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell
I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

I ought to say no, no, no, sir
Mind if I move in closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
What's the sense in hurting my pride?

I really can't stay
Baby, don't hold out
Baby, it's cold outside

I simply must go
Baby, it's cold outside
Oh, the answer is no
Baby, it's cold outside

Your welcome has been
How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window at that storm

My sister will be suspicious
Gosh, your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Waves upon a tropical shore

My maiden aunt's mind is so vicious
Your lips are delicious
Well, maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before

I've got to go home
Maybe you'll freeze out there
Say lend me a comb
It's up to your knees out there

You've really been grand
I thrill when you touch my hand
But don't you see?
How can you do this thing to me?

There's bound to be talk tomorrow
Think of my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied
If you caught pneumonia and died

I really can't stay
Get over that old doubt
Baby, it's cold outside

Back Street Affair

You didn't know I wasn't free when you fell in love with me
And with all your young heart you learned to care
It brought you shame and disgrace the world has tumbled in your place
Cause they call our love a back street affair
They say you wrecked my home I'm a husband that's gone wrong
They don't know the sorrow that we've had to bear
For the one that I'm tied to was the first to be untrue
Yes they call our love a back street affair
[ guitar - keyboards ]
We have each other now that's all that matters anyhow
Oh the judgement of gossip's never fair
We'll just be brave and strong then someday they'll see they're wrong
Let them call our love a back street affair
We'll be free for love someday when all the talk is dead away
And the happiness we've hoped for then we'll share
I'll climb a mountain high and then the world will hear me cry
That our love is not a back street affair

Back To Earth

I guess my heart has settled back to Earth.
I rode a dream so wild and free for all that dream was
worth.
But true love is both a blessing and a curse.
Today my heart just settled back to Earth.

Now I know just how you felt that night so long ago.
But the dream for you had ended and you let me know.
So I bounced from sky to sky,
tryin' to keep the dream alive.
But everything I did just made it worse.
Guess my heart just settled back to Earth.

Love created songs that I still sing.
Love we knew still makes the rafters ?red?.
Tonight I'll sing for everything I'm worth.
For all the hearts that settle back to Earth.

Songs our love created I still sing.
Love we knew still makes the rafters ?red?.
Tonight I'll sing for everything I'm worth.
For all the hearts that settle back to Earth.

Our song will never have a final verse,
our hearts just finally settled back to Earth

Band Of Brothers

We're a band of brothers and sisters and whatever
On a mission to break all the rules
And I know you love me 'cause I love you too
But you can't tell me what to do

And I sure don't know where we're going,
I'm really not sure where we've been
But if I can take you all with me
I'd sure like to go there again

'Cause we're a band of brothers and sisters and whatever
On a mission to break all the rules
And I know you love me 'cause I love you too
But you can't tell me what to do
No, you can't tell me what to do

When all of the songs have been written
And when all of the music is played
When the curtain comes down
We'll still be around to make sure the musicians are paid

'Cause we're a band of brothers sisters and whatever
With a mission to break all the rules
And I know you love me 'cause I love you too
But you can't tell me what to do

We're a band of brothers and sisters and whatever
With a mission to break all the rules
And I know you love me 'cause I love you too
But you can't tell me what to do

I know you love me 'cause I love you too
But you can't tell me what to do

Basin Street Blues

No won't you come along with me
Down the Mississippi
We'll take trip to the land of dreams
Floatin' down the river down to New Orleans

And the band'll be there to meet us
Oh, friends to greet us
That's where the light and the dark folks meet
A heaven on earth - they call it Basin Street

Basin street is the street
Where the elite always meet
Out in New Orleans, the land of dreams
You'll never know how nice it seems
Or just how much it really means
And I'd rather be, yes-sir-ee
New Orleans the land of dreams
Where I can lose my Basin Street blues

Now ain't you glad you came with me
We went down the Mississippi
We took a trip
To the land of dreams
We floated down the river
Down to New Orleans

Basin street - that's the street
Where the elite always meet
Down in New Orleans, the land of dreams
And you'll never know how nice it seems
Or just how much it really means
I'd rather be, yes-sir-ee
New Orleans the land of dreams
Where I can lose my Basin Street blues

Be There For You

It's the way that you kiss me
It's the way that you don't
It's the way that you'll miss me
When you swear that you won't

There's a feeling you give me
When we talk on the phone
God, I hope you outlive me
So I'm never alone

Chorus:
And whatever you do, I will be there for you
Through the thunder the wind and the rain
And whatever you do, I will promise to you
I will be there,
I will be there for you

I may lack social graces
But I won't swallow my pride
See there are millions of places, I could be
But I'm here by your side

(Chorus)

Though there's nothing to guide us
We will weather the storm
Till the heavens divide us
I'll keep you from harm

(Chorus)

And whatever you do, I'll be there for you
Through the thunder, the wind, and the rain
I will always be true, this I promise to you
I will be there
I'll be there for you

Because Of You

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you
