What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go?
(Slipping through my fingers all the time)
Well, some of that we did, but most we didn’t
And why, I just don’t know
Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what’s in her mind?
Each time I think I’m close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Didn’t we almost have it all
When love was all we had worth giving?
The ride with you was worth the fall my friend
Loving you makes life worth living
Didn’t we almost have it all
The night we held on till the morning
You know you’ll never love that way again
Didn’t we almost have it all
We had it all,
Just like Bogie and Bacall,
Starring in our old late, late show,
Sailing away to Key Largo.
Lauren, Katherine, Lana too
Bette Davis, we love you
Ladies with an attitude
Fellows that were in the mood
Don’t just stand there, let’s get to it
Strike a pose, there’s nothing to it
Her hair is Harlow gold,
Her lips sweet surprise,
Her hands are never cold,
She’s got Bette Davis eyes.
She’ll turn the music on you,
You won’t have to think twice,
She’s pure as New York snow,
She got Bette Davis eyes.
She’s got legs, she knows how to use them
She never begs, she knows how to choose them
You welcome me with open arms and open legs
I know only fools have needs but this one never begs
I don’t really mind how much you love me
A little is really alright
When you say come over and spend the night
Tonight, tonight
When I say I love you say you better
(You better you better you bet)
Tonight, tonight,
It all began tonight.
I saw you and the world went away.
Tonight, tonight,
There’s only you tonight.
What you are, what you do, what you say.
It’s time to go home now
And I’ve got an aching head
So I give her the car keys
She helps me to bed
And then I tell her
As I turn out the light
I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight
She was physically forgotten
Then she slipped into my pocket
With my car keys
She said, “You’ve taken me for granted
Because I please you
Wearing these diamonds”
And I could say, Oo oo oo
As if everybody knows
What I’m talking about
As if everybody here would know
What I was talking about
Talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Cryin’ on my pillow, lonely in my bed,
Then I heard a voice beside me, and she softly said,
“Thunder is your night light, magic is your dream,”
And as I held her, she said, “See what I mean?”
I said “Whaaaat?”
She said “Ooo-ooo-ooo-wee,”
I said “All right!”
She said “Love me, love me, love me…”
We were all shocked when she got on that plane
She said, ‘Merle’s song is drivin’ me insane’
That bird rolled off and left the ground
Never said where she was bound
I’m looking for a place to fall apart,
Looking for some place to leave my heart…
I need to be someplace hidin’
When I feel the teardrops start…
I was lookin’ for love in all the wrong places
Lookin’ for love in too many faces
Searchin’ her eyes, lookin’ for traces of what I’m dreamin’ of
Hopin’ to find a friend and a lover
I’ll bless the day I discover another heart
Lookin’ for love
At my door the leaves are falling
A cold wild wind has come
The summer sun is fading as the year grows old,
And darker days are drawing near,
The winter winds will be much colder,
Now you’re not here.
All hail to the days that merit more praise
Than all the rest of the year,
And welcome the nights that double delights
As well for the poor as the peer!
Good fortune attend each merry man’s friend
That doth but the best that he may,
Forgetting old wrongs with carols and songs
To drive the cold winter away.
'Cause what she sees is only what she wants to.
What she has, she thinks is enough
And what she does is just look at the good things
And what she is,
Is a woman in love…
There’s a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
Signs, signs, everywhere a sign,
Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind,
Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?
