Olivia Newton-John Album

(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

(Burnett)

Sometimes I think I love you
Just a little too much
You know you thrill me baby
With you magic touch
That's why I want you honey
And I love you like I do
I'm gonna scream and shout it
There ain't no doubt about it
That's why I love you like I do

Sometimes I think you kiss me
Just a little too much
You drive me crazy baby,
With your magic touch
You make me feel so good
When the moon is shining bright
With our lips together
And you're squeezin' me so tight

Now, I went steady once before
Thought I loved the boy next door
He stepped out on me, you see
He couldn't be true
Now, I got over all my dreams
Time went by so fast it seems
Now I know I'll never get over you
Well, all right, all right

Sometimes I think I love you
Just a little too much
You know you thrill me baby
With you magic touch
That's why I want you honey
And I love you like I do
I'm gonna scream and shout it
There ain't no doubt about it
That's why I love you like I do
That's why I love you like I do

(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

(McLean)

No one can take your place with me
And time has proven that I'm right
There's no place I'd rather be
Than at your place for the night
No time can pass your sight unseen
No moment steals away unfound
Lifetime lived in such a dream
Floats like a feather to the ground

And for the first time I've been seeing
The things I've never noticed without you
And for the first time I'm discovering
The things I used to treasure about you

Birds like leaves on winterwood
Sing hopeful songs on dismal days
They've learned to live life as they should
They are at peace with nature's ways
You are as natural as the night
And all that springs from you is good
And the children born beneath your light
Are like the birds on winterwood

And for the first time I've been seeing
The things I've never noticed without you
And for the first time I'm discovering
The things I used to treasure about you

(John Farrar)

Hey boy, I better warn you
To make your reservation
Your exit's overdue
I can only promise he ain't the soul to laugh
I've known him long enough to speak on his behalf

My old man's got a gun
And he knows you're a tricky one
He can't fail to make you run
And I don't need you
My old man's got a wife
And she loves him and her life
Silver tongue could be his strife
And I don't need you

Hey boy, don't let him fool you
I'll tell you something about him, gonna cool you
He'll get you in a corner
And make you really crawl
You'll never realize
A man could feel so small

My old man's got a gun
And he knows you're a tricky one
He can't fail to make you run
And I don't need you
My old man's got a wife
And she loves him and her life
Silver tongue could be his strife
And I don't need you

I don't need you, I don't need you
Hey boy, I better warn you
To make your reservation

(Olivia Newton-John)

We said a million times we'd change
Can't bring myself to say those words again
A piper never changes tune
You can't grow apples on the moon

The hurtful things we say still penetrate
And whispered sorrys always come too late
Then the damage has been done
What are we going to tell our son?

I want to spare his broken heart
Break it gently that we'll live apart
Don't know the proper words to say
He won't be seeing daddy every day

Those weekly outings never work, you know
Buying gifts and candy, picture shows
They can't replace the man around
Your voice, your touch, your manly sound

I guess the trouble is I love you still
And if it comes to that, I always will
No, please don't cry, it's just too late
Now hurry on, she's waiting at the gate

(Farrar/Best)

The stairs are dark and silent
The morning cold and gray
A last look at the things I knew
And slowly turn away
And as I watch the scenery unwind
My childhood slips a hundred miles behind

Leave the bus in Houston
Walk around the town
But all the strange, unfriendly faces
Seem to get me down
And in the park where little children play
I sit and watch the dying of the day

I'm a small and lonely light
A bird that's lost in flight
And it's too late at night to go home
I'm a tall and weary kite
A face that's out of sight
And it's too late at night to go home

Always had the good life
Never felt unsure
But now the good life's not enough
There must be something more
And so I sit and shiver in the dawn
And watch the world and wait to be reborn

I'm a small and lonely light
A bird that's lost in flight
And it's too late at night to go home
I'm a tall and weary kite
A face that's out of sight
And it's too late at night to go home
Too late at night to go home
But I've talked too long my friend

(Simon)

Why don't you write me
I'm out in the jungle
I'm hungry to hear you
Send me a card
I am waiting so hard to be near you
Something is wrong and I know I got a feelin'
Maybe I'm lost but I can't make the cost of the airfare
Tell me why, tell me why

Why don't you write me
A letter would brighten my loneliest evening
Mail it today if it's only to say
That you're leaving me
Why don't you write

Monday morning sitting in the sun
Hopin' and wishin' that the mail would come
Tuesday I never got a word
Wednesday,, Thursday ain't no sign
Drank a half a bottle of iodine
Friday, woe is me
I'm gonna hang my body from the highest tree
Why don't you write me
Why don't you write me

(Rafferty)

Mary Skeffington, close your eyes
And make believe that you are just a girl again
Go to sleep tonight, dream of days
When you had something there to light the way

Remember a holiday in a north of England town
You slept in a room upstairs on a bed of eiderdown

Mary Skeffington, when you wake
You mustn't be afraid to face another day
Think of what you had, you'll get by
You've always been a lady, hold your head up high

Look back on your home where you spent the best years of your life
Remember the man who asked you if you would be his wife

(Harrison)

Why are you still crying
Your pain is now through
Please forget those teardrops
Let me take them from you
The love you are blessed with
This world's waiting for
So let out your heart, please, please
From behind that locked door

It's time we start smiling
What else should we do
With only this short time
I know to be here with you
And the tales you have taught me
From the things that you saw
Makes me want out your heart, please, please
From behind that locked door

And wherever my love goes
If I'm rich or I'm poor
Please let out my heart, please, please
From behind that locked door
From behind that locked door

(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?

(David Gates)

You sheltered me from harm
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you

I would give anything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give anything I own
Just to have you back again

You taught me how to love
What it's of, what it's of
You never said too much but still you showed the way
And I knew from watching you
Nobody else could ever know
The part of me that can't let go

I would give anything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give anything I own
Just to have you back again

Is there someone you know
You're loving them so
You're taking them all for granted
You may lose them one day
Someone takes them away
And they don't hear the words you long to say

I would give anything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give anything I own
Just to have you back again
Just to touch you once again

(Tarney/Spencer)

It's not funny when you're lonely
It's much better when you're living in harmony
With someone you're really digging
And you want to give it all that you've got

Don't wanna make you cry
Don't wanna tell you lies
Don't wanna bring you down
Or treat you unkind
Just wanna make you mine
And hear you laugh all the time
Don't wanna break this tie
I'm telling you why

It's not funny when you're lonely
It's much better when you're living in harmony
With someone you're really digging
And you want to give it all that you've got

Now things were bad before
So I walked out the door
I guess I soon found out
What life's all about
But now I'm here to stay
Can't see me wandering away
Don't wanna break this tie
I'm telling you why

You can take a little loving
But if you're not giving
It'll never be worthwhile
You can take a little loving
But if you're not giving
It'll never work out fine

Play it to me, John

But now I'm here to stay
Can't see me wandering away
Don't wanna break this tie
I'm telling you why
It's not funny when you're lonely
It's much better when you're living in harmony

(Cagan)

I can count the teardrops hidden from your eyes
I can hear the sadness that your smile belies
Thought I heard a whisper
Did it come from you
If you say you're ready
I am ready too

I will touch you deep inside where love is
I will touch your sorrow and make it go away

I can hear the questions running through your mind
I can feel the answers very close behind
When your heart is ready
You will understand
When you're tired of crying
You will take my hand

I will touch you deep inside where love is
I will touch your sorrow and make it go away
