Olivia Newton-John Album

(Peter Allen/Jeff Barry)

Maybe I hang around here
A little more than I should
We both know I got somewhere else to go
But I got something to tell you
That I never thought I would
But I believe you really ought to know

I love you
I honestly love you

You don't have to answer
I see it in your eyes
Maybe it was better left unsaid
This is pure and simple
And you should realize
That it's coming from my heart and not my head

I love you
I honestly love you

I'm not trying to make you feel uncomfortable
I'm not trying to make you anything at all
But this feeling doesn't come along everyday
And you shouldn't blow the chance
When you've got the chance to say

I love you
I honestly love you

If we both were born
In anoother place and time
This moment might be ending in a kiss
But there you are with yours
And here I am with mine
So I guess we'll just be leaving it at this

I love you
I honestly love you
I honestly love you

(Bob Dylan)

If not for you
Babe I couldn't even find the door
I couldn't even see the floor
I'd be sad and blue
If not for you

If not for you
Babe the night would see me wide awake
The day would surely have to break
And it would not be new
If not for you

If not for you my sky would fall
Rain would gather too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I'd be lost if not for you

If not for you
The winter would hold no spring
Couldn't hear a robin sing
I just wouldn't have a clue
It not for you

If not for you my sky would fall
Rain would gather too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I'd be lost if not for you

If not for you
The winter would hold no spring
You couldn't hear a robin sing
I just wouldn't have a clue
It not for you
If not for you

(Valerie Avon/Harold Spiro)

Long, long live love
Love is to care
Caring and sharing
Long, long live love

All the kids like ten tin soldiers in a row
Followed hand in hand
Sister Anna carrying the banner for the Sally Annie band
Singing songs of praise and glory
We all learn to love their story
Good things are coming to you
Glory, glory hallelujah

Long, long live love
As long as we live
Living and giving
Long, long live love

On a wet day, dry day, great to be alive day
Brother takes the stand
Cymbals ringing, everybody singing with the Sally Annie band
Just a band of happy people
Teaching, preaching love is equal
When you feel the spirit move you
Glory, glory hallelujah

Long, long live love
Love is to care
Caring and sharing
Long, long live love, love, love, love, love
Ohhh
Long, long live love
As long as we live
Living forgiving
Long, long live love

If I could make a wish I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat no books to read
Making love with you, has left me peaceful warm inside
What more could I ask
There's nothing left to be desired
Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
Just to have you now
All I need is the air that I breathe you're all I want
Peace came upon me and it breathes in me
Don't sleep silent angel don't you sleep
Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
Just to have you now
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe you're all I want
Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe you're all I want
Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe you're all I want

(Russ Ballard)

And there's no need to tell me I'm just wasting time
But if you tell me break it slowly
I'm in deep water and I'm hanging on a line
And you're the only one can save me
But if you gotta go
I think you better know

Oh, heartbreaker, if you wanna leave
I won't make you stay
If you wanna go, better go away
Oh, you loser, offered you a love
You refused her
What you gonna do when she goes away

I know the memories melt their pictures in my mind
Too bad to see they could be fading
But I'll come home to you
If someday you should find
You want me back then I'll be waiting
But if you gotta go
I think you better know

Oh, heartbreaker, if you wanna leave
I won't make you stay
If you wanna go, better go away
Oh, you loser, offered you a love
You refused her
What you gonna do when she goes away

Um, heartbreaker, if you wanna leave
I won't make you stay
If you wanna go, better go away
Oh, you loser, offered you a love
And you refused her
What you gonna do when she goes away
Oh, what you gonna do when she goes away

(Kris Kristofferson)

Take the ribbon from my hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Lay it soft against your skin
Like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side
Till the early morning light
All I'm takin' is your time
Help me make it through the night

I don't care who's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
Lord, tonight I need a friend

Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night

And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
I don't wanna be alone
Help me make it through the night

(Traditional)

I asked my love to take a walk
To take a walk, just a little walk
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio

And only say that you'll be mine
In no others' arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio

I held a knife against his breast
As into my arms he pressed
He cried "my love, don't you murder me
I'm not prepared for eternity"

I wandered home 'tween twelve and one
I cried, "My God, what have I done?"
I've killed the only man I love
He would not take me for his bride

And only say that you'll be mine
In no others' arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio

(David Gates)

If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can't I paint you
The words will never show
The you I've come to know
If a face could launch a thousand ships
Then where am I to go
There's no one home but you
You're all that's left me too
And when my love for life is running dry
You'll come and pour yourself on me

If a girl could be two places at one time
I'd be with you
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving
Spinning slowly down to die
I'd spend the end with you
And when the world was through
Then one by one the stars would all go out
Then you and I would simply fly away

(Brell/Shuman/Blau)

If we only have love
Then tomorrow will dawn
And the days of our years will rise on that morn
If we only have love
To embrace without fears
We will kiss with our eyes
We will sleep without tears

If we only have love
We can reach those in pain
We can heal all our wounds
We can use our own name
If we only have love
We can melt all the guns
And then give the new word
To our daughters and our sons

Oh, if we only have love
With our arms open wide
Then the young and the old will stand at our side
If we only have love
We will never bow down
We'll be tall as the pines
Neither heroes nor clowns

If we only have love
To be shared by all men
We will drink from a dram
To be born once again
If we only have love
If we only have love

(Jans)

If you could see me now
The one who said that she'd rather roam
The one who said she'd rather be alone
If you could only see me now

If I could hold you now
Just for a moment if I could make you mine
Just for a while turn back the hands of time
If I could only hold you now

I've been too long in the wind
Too long in the rain
Taking any comfort that I can
Looking back and a-longing for the freedom of my chains
Lying in your loving arms again

If you could hear me now
Singing somewhere through a lonely night
Dreaming of the arms that held me tight
If you could only hear me now

I've been too long in the wind
Too long in the rain
Taking any comfort that I can
Looking back and a-longing for the freedom of my chains
Lying in your loving arms again
I wanna be lying in your loving arms again

(Rush)

I know your leaving's too long overdue
For far too long I've had nothing new to show to you
Goodbye dry eyes
I watched your plane fade off west of the moon
And it felt so strange to walk away alone

No regrets
No tears goodbye
Don't want you back
We'd only cry again
Say goodbye again

The hours that were yours
Echo like empty rooms
The thoughts we used to share
I now keep alone
I woke last night and spoke to you
Not thinking you were gone
It felt so strange to lie awake alone

No regrets
No tears goodbye
Don't want you back
We'd only cry again
Say goodbye again

Our friends have tried
To turn my nights into day
Strange faces in your place
Can't keep the ghosts away
Just beyond the darkest hour
Just behind the door
It still feels so strange to lead my life alone

Oh no regrets
No tears goodbye
Don't want you back
We'd only cry again
Say goodbye again

(George Harrison)

What I feel I can't say
But my love is there for you any time of day
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed

And tell me what is my life without your love?
And tell me who am I without you by my side?

What I know I can do
If I give my love to everyone like you
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed

And tell me what is my life without your love?
And tell me who am I without you by my side?

What I feel I can't say
But my love is there for you any old time of day
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed

And tell me what is my life without your love?
And tell me who am I without you by my side?
And tell me what is my life without your love?
And tell me who am I without you by my side?
And tell me what is my life without your love?
And tell me who am I without you by my side?

(Gordon Lightfoot)

If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old-time movie
About a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet

You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see

If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind that drugstores sell
when you reach the part
Where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
The hero often fails
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take

I'll walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three-way script
Enter number two
A movie queen to play the scene
Are bringing all the good things out in me
But for now love, let's be real
I never thought I could act this way
And I've got to say, I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back

(Taylor)

There'll be no strings to bind your hands
Not if my love can find your heart
And there's no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start
I see no need to take me home
I'm old enough to face the dawn

Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away from me

Maybe the sun's light will be dim
It won't matter anyhow
If morning's echo says we've sinned
Well, it was what I wanted now
And if we're victims of the night
I won't be blinded by the light

Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away from me

I won't beg you to stay with me
Through the tears of the day
Of the years, baby

Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away from me
Oh baby, I love you baby, oh baby

(Hawkshaw/Gosling)

I was born in the country, I was raised with the sun
The flowers were my pillow when the day's work was done
Down in the valley shone the bright neon signs
The call of the city life kept going through my mind
Oh yeah, the days of my childhood would soon be left behind

It was a Saturday morning when the snow lay on the ground
Pa said the time had come when I could move to town
So I kissed goodbye to Mama, held on tight to Papa's hand
I saw a tear in Mama's eye but I did not understand
'Cause I was just a country girl being brought up on the land

Goodbye Mama, let me see you smile
Wipe away that teardrop from your eye
I won't forget that I'm a country girl
I got to go, but I hate to say goodbye
So long, Papa, I'll be seeing you
But I'll be coming home again someday
No, I won't forget that I'm a country girl
A country girl, you know I'll always stay

I was born in the country, I was raised with the sun
The flowers were my pillow when the day's work was done
Down in the valley shone the bright neon signs
Yet I know where I belong, I got my peace of mind
Oh yeah, I was born a country girl and that just suits me fine

Goodbye Mama, let me see you smile
Wipe away that teardrop from your eye
I won't forget that I'm a country girl
I got to go, but I hate to say goodbye
So long, Papa, I'll be seeing you
But I'll be coming home again someday
No, I won't forget that I'm a country girl
I'll come back to you, believe me
I won't forget that I'm a country girl
A country girl, you know I'll always stay

(John Farrar)

Music makes my day
It warms an empty place when you're away
Music makes my day
Love you are my song
Your melody's so soft
Your love so strong
Love you are my song

And though good fortune seems a long time calling
The sadness creeps into my song
My pearly friend will gently soothe me
And sing along

Music makes my day
It seems my waiting hours just fly away
Music makes my day
If I lost my friend
His loving words no more
My song would end
If I lost my friend

And though good fortune seems a long time calling
The sadness creeps into my song
My pearly friend will gently soothe me
And sing along

Music makes my day
It warms an empty place when you're away
Music makes my day
You know it makes it

(Sanson/Osborne)

Strands of light on our bedroom floor
Change the night through an open door
I'm awake but this is not my home
For the first time I'm not alone
Reaching out I touch another's skin
Breathing out as he's breathing in
Deep inside I feel my soul aflame
Can my life ever be the same

I should have told him
That I'd do anything if I could hold him
For just another day, for just another day
His love is something I will not forget
When I am far away, when I am far away
I feel the rainfall of another planet
Another planet

Close together in the afterglow
I remember how his loving flowed
Turned the key into another world
Made a woman of a simple girl
Daylight comes as we both know it must
Soon my fantasy will turn to dust
But I would give him anything he asked
If my first love could be my last

I should have told him
That I'd do anything if I could hold him
For just another day, for just another day
His love is something I will not regret
When I am far away, when I am far away
I feel the rainfall of another planet
Another planet

(Bill Danoff/Taffy Nivert/John Denver)

Country roads,take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia,Mountain Mama
Take me home,country roads

Almost heaven,West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountain,Shenandoe River
Life is old there,older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growing like the breeze

Country roads,take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia,Mountain Mama
Take me home,country roads

All my memories gather round her
Mine is lady,stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrop in my eye

Country roads,take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia,Mountain Mama
Take me home,country roads

I hear her voice in the morning
Now she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should've been home yesterday,yesterday

Country roads,take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia,Mountain Mama
Take me home,country roads

Country roads,take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia,Mountain Mama
Take me home,country roads

Take me home,country roads
