MORE THAN I CAN SAY

The day is a desert that I have to cross. And without your guidance, I will surely be lost. But if you take my hand I will listen and obey because I love you more than I can say.
I'm chained to my mattress, weary of heart and limb. But if you tell me to suck it up and keep up my chin, I will let your words carry me away, because I love you more than I can say.
Oh, nothing's worked, and nothing's ever going to. I am cursed and I slave from morning till night. I gave five years of my life to a dream that disappeared in the first rays of morning light.
So when I'm with you nothing else matters. I just leave the pieces of my life right where they shattered. And you make the ache go away, and I love you more than I can say.

THIS HAPPY FEELING

I'm in the groove, I'm in the swing. Not gonna move, not gonna change a thing, 'cause if I do, well I might lose this happy feeling. It's so rare, it's so divine. I have not a care on my mind. So don't look at me wrong, or I might lose this happy feeling.
The stars have aligned, and the light is shining in just the right way, and I'm having a perfect lucky day.
I feel complete. Ask me anything and I won't skip a beat. And the earth is green beneath my feet. What a perfect, lucky day!
I am a gas, I am a scream, I am the cat that swallowed all of the cream.
Nothing can hold me down when I've got this happy feeling. Don't need no substances to get me rolling. Don't need nobody else here in my own skin. I'm everything that I need when I've got this happy feeling. The stars have aligned, and the light is shining in just the right way, and I'm having a perfect lucky day.
I feel complete. Ask me anything and I won't skip a beat. And the earth is green beneath my feet. What a lucky, lucky day!

DESIRELESS

We had music for dinner, heady and sweet, to wash the bitterness of words from our lips. My love for you is irreversible, and strong like song. In your slow voice, I heard suggestion. In your reaches I felt perfection. I will linger on inside your wordless poetry of melody.
Daddy, I'm a bad girl, give it to me straight. Don't tell me life is honey when you and I know it ain't. I couldn't be your angel, I had to steal a kiss. And if you could be here now, I wouldn't be desireless. If this night could find tomorrow and I gave words to my sorrow, I'd find solace in the prospect of belief. But I couldn't spare the roses when I drowned the weeds. And the nature of your virtue is my grief. Your game was so enticing that I could not resist. Your promise so inviting, playing out upon your lips.
I couldn't be your angel, I had to steal a kiss. And if you could be here now, I wouldn't be desireless.
If each twilight's yours alone, and your lover feels like home, you will know the blessing you have been to me.
Your game was so exiting, I had to take the risk. You radiate so blinding, my pulse froze in my wrists.
I couldn't be your angel, I had to steal a kiss. And if you could be here now, I wouldn't be desireless.

MAKE IT UP TO YOU

I know how cruel people can be. I know the things they can say. They make you feel so safe, until you drop your defenses, and then they up and throw you away. II see it in your eyes, I've been there many times, and I see through your lies, you're the worst liar I've ever known.
But I'll make it up to you, if you'll only let me. I'll make it up to you.
Boy, I'm gonna lick your wounds. The air is still thick with her, and I know it still hurts, let me make it up to you.
I know you're a little bit numb, wary of everyone, playing it all back,
searching for that one mistake.
But if you still can feel, there's nothing my lips won't heal. I'll bring you back to life, if you'll just let me try.
I see it in your eyes, I've been there many times. And I see through your lies, you're the worst liar I've ever known.
But I'll make it up to you, if you'll only let me. I'll make it up to you.
Boy, I'm gonna lick your wounds. The air is still thick with her, and I know it still hurts, let me make it up to you.

SOLUTION

What I say often counts for so little
Such things that lack the sun of life
But the words that count the most
All at first seemed useless
Before our incomplete eyes
If I stop moving, I'll become invisible
The man I want the most has made me miserable, oh
If only this death I'm dying were physical
At least I'd know the pain would stop
If I had just had the courage that night
To walk in front of a car
Then I wouldn't be left with this terrifying stillness
And the cold impartial stars
When I stop moving, I'll become invisible
The man I loved the most has made me miserable, oh
If only this death I'm dyin were physical
At least I'd know the pain would stop, oh
At least I'd know the pain would stop, oh
At least I'd know the pain would

PERFECT

I'll make things right
I'll break your fall
Unshatter glass
And fix the wall you gave to me
Wish me away
And I'll be gone
I didn't mean to block your sun
With my shadow
I'm going where
I'm wanted in my dreams
I'm going where
I'm wanted in my...
Sleep on the floor
Uncovered mattresses and
Cigarette burns
In the blanket that I made for you
And I wasn't sure
Just what to say
Guess I got scared and ran away
Hey
I'm going where
I'm wanted in my dreams
I'm going where
I'm wanted in my dreams
Perfect
I'm sure I've felt
This way before
Dear God it hurts so bad sometimes
This time I feel
It's something more
How could I ever be so blind?
Hey
I'm going where
I'm wanted in my dreams
I'm going where
I'm wanted in my dreams
Maybe you'll be there

LOVESICK

I'm lovesick and every fiber of my being aches. And I am rendered useless by this love.
It consumes me. I didn't have the chance, I've been stricken. My heart is in your hands, I'm lovesick.
Love has meant so many things to me in my short, short lifetime. And none of them have been good, no, but then you come along. And now life is a song.
And I'll love you 'til the end, and I'll love you 'til the end. If I possess an immortal soul and God wills that we shall not be together,
then I'll wait for you. I will pass though that dark night loving you more.
I'm lovesick.
Love has meant so many things to me in my short, short lifetime. And none of them have been good, no, but now you come along. And now life is a song. And I'll love you 'til the end. And I'll love you 'til the end. And I'll love you 'til the end.

NEARER TO LIFE

I'm getting nearer to life, nearer and nearer to life. But if you put out your light, it's becoming clearer.
You are where everything happens. You'll never miss any of the action. You are the main attraction. Don't sleep your life away.
Everytime I start to smother, I put one foot before the other. If we only help each other life will reveal its mysterious power.
I love so many people, so much that it wrings me out. The best I can humanly do is find the right words to reach you.
You have my complete attention. Beautiful in all your imperfections, going to supernova, I want to die in your glow.
Everytime I start to smother, I put one foot before the other. If we only help each other life will reveal its mysterious powers.
I'm getting nearer to life, nearer and nearer to life. I'm getting nearer to life, nearer and nearer to life.

MY MAN

written by: Channing pollock/maurice yvain / albert willemetz/jaques charles

It cost me a lot
But there’s one thing that I’ve got
It’s my man
It’s my man

Cold or wet
Tired, you bet
All of this I’ll soon forget
With my man

He’s not much on looks
He’s no hero out of books
But I love him
Yes, I love him

Two or three girls
Has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him
I don’t know why I should
He isn’t true
He beats me, too
What can I do?

Oh, my man, I love him so
He’ll never know
All my life is just a spare
But I don’t care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright
All right

What’s the difference if I say
I’ll go away
When I know I’ll come back
On my knees someday

For whatever my man is
I’m his forevermore

ONE FOR MY BABY, AND ONE FOR THE ROAD

Writer(s): johnny mercer/harold arlen

It’s quarter to three,
There’s no one in the place ’cept you and me
So set ’em’ up joe
I got a little story I think you oughtta know

We’re drinking my friend
To the end of a brief episode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

I know the routine
Put another nickel in that there machine
I’m feeling so bad
Won’t you make the music easy and sad

I could tell you a lot
But you gotta to be true to your code
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

You’d never know it
But buddy I’m a kind of poet
And I’ve got a lot of things I wanna say
And if I’m gloomy, please listen to me
Till it’s all, all talked away

Well, that’s how it goes
And joe I know you’re gettin’ anxious to close
So thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn’t mind
My bending your ear

But this torch that I found
It’s gotta be drowned
Or it soon might explode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
