Carly Simon Album

You won't forget me
Though you may try
I'm part of memories
Too wonderful to die
And it will happen
That now and then
You'll fall to wonderin'
If we shouldn't have tried again

You won't forget me
On nights like this
The moon will cast on you
The shadow of my kiss

No matter where you are
With whom you are
You'll think of me
You won't forget me
Just wait and see, you won't forget me
Just wait and see, you won't forget me
Just wait and see

Everytime we say goodbye
I die a little
Everytime we say goodbye
I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me who must be in the know
Think so little of me, they allow you to go

And when you're near there's such an air of Spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it

There's no love song finer
But how strange the change from major to
minor
Everytime we say goodbye

Why the gods above me
Who must be in the know
Think so little of me
They'd allow you to go

And when you're near there's such an air of Spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it

There's no love song finer
But how strange the change from major to
minor
Everytime we say goodbye, everytime we say goodbye
Everytime we say goodbye, everytime we say goodbye.....

Outside the barracks
By the corner light
Darling I remember how
I'd wait for you at night
There we'd create a world for two
I'd wait for you
The whole night through
Was there that you'd whisper tenderly
That you loved me
You'd always be
Be my Lili Marlene
Be my Lili Marlene

I'd give you a rose to show I care
And wind it through your golden hair
Then we would say goodnight and part
I'll always keep you in my heart
With me Lili Marlene
With me Lili Marlene

My Lili of the lamplight
My own Lili Marlene

Last night when we were young
Love was a star, a song unsung
Life was so new, so real, so bright
Ages ago, last night

Today, the world is old
You flew away, and time grew cold
Where is that star
That seems so bright
Ages ago, last night

To think that spring had depended
On merely this, a look, a kiss
To think that something so splendid
Could slip away in one little daybreak

So now lets reminisce and recollect the sighs and the kisses
The arms that clung
When we were young last night

So now lets reminisce and recollect the sighs and the kisses
The arms that clung
When we were young last night

Spring will be a little late this year
A little late arriving
In my lonely world over here
For you have left me
And where is our April love old
Yes you have left me
And winter continues cold
As if to say that spring will be
A little slow to start
A little slow reviving
That music it made in my heart
Cause time heals all things
So I needn't cling to this fear
It's merely that spring will be
A little late this year
Yes time heals all things
So I needn't cling to this fear
It's merely that spring will be
A little late this year

Got on in New Haven
Last car on the train
Put my hat on the seat
Wipe the tears from my eyes

I watched my life go by
Like a movie in my brain
Scenes unreeling
In a sceneless chain
On the window
And a silver screen of rain

And the opening title scrol
And the score comes in and under
And I'm in the starring role
In a world of love-struck wonder

It's a tale full of promise
About two crazy kids
Falling in love, but in flashback

And then the music,
That gorgeous music
And I wake up,
Rattling down the railroad track.

He could be sweet,
But I stayed on my guard
Just how good a liar
Can a decent man be?

I always played my hand
Like I didn't have the cards
Cause he held them all
So I could never see
Yes, he played me for a fool
And I agreed

And the closing credits roll
And the waves come in like thunder
Cause the hero's lost contro
And I made a fatal blunder


Just another sad story
Two star-crossed kids
Racing headlong up a cul-de-sac

And then that music
That mournful music
And the train's disappearing
Down that railroad track

And the long, slow dissolve
As we fade to black............

Introduction: "Haunting" by Carly Simon)
There's always someone, haunting someone, haunting someone,
I can't sleep easy, cause I'm afraid of dreaming
And then the memory of the dream
There's always someone, haunting someone, haunting someone
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Laura is the face in the misty night
Footsteps that you hear down the hall
The laugh that floats on a summer's night
That you might never quite recall

And you see Laura on a train that is passing through
Those eyes how familiar they seem
She gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura but she's only a dream

She gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura
But she's only a dream

Yes she gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura, but she's only a dream
A dream, a dream

I'm a fool to want you
I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true
A love that's there for others too

I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
To share a kiss the devil has known

Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
And then would come a time
When I would need you
And once again these words I'd have to say

Take me back
I love you
Pity me
I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong
I can't get along without you

I'm a fool to want you
You hurt me time and time again
But I still love you babe
I'm a fool, I'm your fool

Instrumental

Here we are, out of cigarettes
Holding hands and yawning
See how late it gets
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
Too much in love to say goodnight

Here we are, in the cozy chair
Pickin' on a wishbone, from the frigidaire
Two sleepy people with nothing to say
But too much in love to break away

Do you remember
The nights we used to linger in the hall
Your father didn't like me at all
Do you remember the reason
Why we married in the fall
To rent this little nest, get a bit of rest

Who will .......

Here we are just about the same
Foggy little fella, drowsy little dame
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
And so much in love, so much in love
Too much in love to say, too much to say, to say

I left a note on his dresser
And my old wedding ring
With these few goodbye words
How can I sing
Goodbye old sleepy head
I'm packing you in like I said
Take care of everything
I'm leaving my wedding ring

Don't look for me
I'll get ahead
Remember darling
Don't smoke in bed

Don't look for me
I'll get ahead
Remember darling
Don't smoke in bed

Somewhere in the night
Chasing shadows around the bend
Somewhere in the night
Chasing rainbows that have no end
In the misty night you are mine
And you hold me fast
But dreams have a way of calling it a day
They seldom last
Our dreams have past

But in my lonely flight
I'll keep searching till time is through
Somewhere in the night
Till I find you

In the misty light you are mine
And you hold me fast
But dreams have a way of calling it a day
They seldom last
Our dreams have past
But in my lonely flight
I'll keep searching till time is through
Somewhere in the night
Till I find you
