Art Garfunkel Album

New York
To that tall skyline I come
Flyin' in from London
To your door

New York
Lookin' down on Central Park
Where they say you should not wander after dark

New York
Like a scene from all those movies
But you're real enough to me
There's a heart
A heart that lives in New York

A heart in New York, a rose on the street
I write my song to that city heartbeat
A heart in New York, the love in her eyes
An open door and a friend for the night

New York
You've got money on your mind
And my words don't make a dime's worth of difference
So here's to you New York

(Jimmy Webb)

"If they ever drop the bomb," you said,
"I'll find you in the flames."
But now we act like people
Who don't know each other's names.

Well, sometimes it makes me sad, you know.
Sometimes it makes me smile.
'Cause you know how the game goes, honey.
We all eat it once in awhile.

Scissors cut, paper covers rock
Breaks the shining scissor
You hurt me
I hurt her and she goes and we will miss her

Now, I look around at people
Playing children's games.
And I wonder if you're still thinking
You might find me somewhere in the flames.

Scissors cut, paper covers rock
Breaks the shining scissor
You hurt me
I hurt her and she goes and we will miss her

(Clifford T. Ward)

You've come Up In The World,
And it's all to your credit.
You made something of your life
Like you always said you would.
But what ever happened to the girl
I used to know and all those halcyon days of love?
You've come Up In The World,
And it's such a shame.
You made success of a dream,
But it seems so empty now
With your weak excuses and your
Condescending ways and
Your all-too-frequent nights alone

(Norma Sallitt)

Well the rain's fallin' down around you,
So you cry yourself to sleep.
I know love hurts when one doesn't love as deep.
You're feelin' lost and empty,
'Cause you gave yourself away.
But don't be ashamed to cry,
It's okay.
But you've got to Hang On In,
Baby, be strong,
Love will always find a way.
No, you can't give up,
You've just got to go on,
Tomorrow's gonna be a brighter day.
Hang on.
You keep searchin' for the reasons,
As you walk the lonely halls.
You wait by a telephone,
But he never calls.
Time's the only healer
For the broken hearts (….)
Love is like a wind (…)
But you've got to Hang On In,
Baby, be strong,
Love will always find a way.
No, you can't give up,
You've just got to go on,
Tomorrow's gonna be a brighter day.
Hang on.
I know what you're goin' through,
Every time you see his face.
And I don't know where or when,
But I know that you'll love again.
Hang On In,
Baby, be strong,
Love will always find a way.
No, you can't give up,
You've just got to go on,
Tomorrow's gonna be a brighter day.
Hang on

(Jules Shear)

I've been so far away from you while standing by your side.
There were nights we were so in love, that lovin' made us blind.
But that time is so far below us now, the memory's so thin.
It's So Easy To Begin, but it's so hard to stop, this love,
It's just so hard to stop.
When a heart that's lookin' for lovin' leads you in,
It's So Easy To Begin.
I know I've saved some lessons from the time I fell apart.
And I know you've been wondering why I look at you so hard.
It's 'cause I never want to wake up some day and wonder where we've been.
It's So Easy To Begin, but it's so hard to stop, this love,
It's just so hard to stop.
When a heart that's lookin' for lovin' leads you in,
It's So Easy To Begin.
It's So Easy To Begin.
It's So Easy To Begin

Is it a kind of dream
Floating out on the tide
Following the river of death downstream
Oh, is it a dream?

There's a fog along the horizon
A strange glow in the sky
And nobody seems to know where you go
And what does it mean
Oh, is it a dream?

Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes

Is it a kind of shadow
Reaching into the night
Wandering over the hills unseen
Or is it a dream?

There's a high wind in the trees
A cold sound in the air
And nobody ever knows when you go
And where do you start
Oh, into the dark

Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes

Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes

(John Jarvis, Eric Kaz)

I know you've run out of time for a fool like me.
It's all over now, you can't disguise,
All these constant good-byes.
I can't see, but I close my eyes and I walk away.
And try not to hear the words you say,
But I can't seem to turn my heart away.
There's a feeling out tonight, you're beside me everywhere.
Anyone would say, "It's over," but I just don't seem to care,
'Cause I could never turn my heart away,
I just can't seem to turn my heart away.
I can hear the music play, well I'm the only one who knows.
Maybe I'm a fool for listenin', but it takes me where it goes,
'Cause I can never turn my heart away,
I just can't seem to turn my heart away.
Something inside me needs to know
I can live to love again.
What is now has always been.
I need to let you know.
But I just can't turn away, and I can't stop loving you.
I can feel the end is near, but I can't admit it's true,
'Cause I could never turn my heart away,
I just can't seem to turn my heart away.
You go…I'll stay,
'Cause I just can't seem to turn my heart away

(Adam Mitchell)

Well there won't be no stars
Coming out in the sky
Tonight when my baby walks by
Oh they know that they can't hold a
Candle to the look in her eye

Now I know that I'm not
The wisest of men
I guess mines the look of a fool
But somewhere inside I feel everything
Looking at you

Quand je vois ton visage,
dans n'importe quel langage
La, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Je dis je t'aime, je dis je t'aime, je t'aime, Marie

When the old people look out their window
I know they'll be happy to see
By the look in our eyes
True love hasn't died in Paris

Quand je vois ton visage,
dans n'importe quel langage
La, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

Quand je vois ton visage,
dans n'importe quel langage
La, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

(Repeats)

(Jimmy Webb)

Went to school In Cars, in our cars, pretty girls,
Cruisin' after the game, watchin' radio.
Let your baby know In Cars, restaurant mobile,
Two behind the wheel like double-neck guitars,
In our cars.
We fell in love In Cars, in a car at the show,
Silhouettes on the glass, memories in chrome.
Take your baby home In Cars, everything was warm,
What a perfect form underneath the stars,
In our cars…
(I remember you, everything was new.
Talking in the dark, everything was true.)
If you go when the snowflakes storm
When the rivers freeze and summer ends,
Please see she has a coat so warm
To keep her from the howling winds.
If you're travelin' in the North Country fair
Where the winds get heavy on the border line,
Remember me to one who lives there
For she once was a true love of mine

I've had time to write a book about
The way you act and look,
But I haven't got a paragraph.
Words are always getting in my way.
Anyway, I love you.
That's all I have to tell you,
That's All I've Got To Say
