Debt To Chet
02:57
|
|||
|
Let the vinyl start to spin
Then snuggle in
As cozy as we can get
Baby you can bet
We owe a debt to Chet
When the Baker boy starts swingin’
Or he’s singin’
My Funny Valentine
We’re livin’ we give in
I’m yours your mine
When the Prince of Cool’s involved
Romance is solved
Sweetly Time After Time
Every doubt is tossed
Baby so Let’s Get Lost
Trumpet magic sets the scene
It’s like a dream
We never can forget
Ever since we met we’ve been a sweet duet
And we owe a debt to Chet
When the Prince of Cool’s involved
Romance is solved
Sweetly time after time
Every doubt is tossed
Baby so Let’s Get Lost
Trumpet magic sets the scene
It’s like a dream
That we never can forget
Ever since we met we’ve been a sweet duet
And we owe a debt to Chet
We owe a debt to Chet

It Was Always You
04:23
|
|||
|
Faces I recall handsome faces
And there were eyes that caused me a sigh or two
But through the years and through it all
Only one face held me in thrall
And it was you it was always you
Kisses there were near hits and misses
And I’ll admit that some were quite sweet it’s true
But kiss after kiss as I reminisce
Only one kiss filled me with bliss
It was with you it was always you
Life is a carousel as it’s spinning around
I see a million eager hearts go by
But darling truth to tell just one heart I’ve found
And each time it comes round the feeling still astounds me
Lovers well there may have been others
And I knew then a tender moment or two
They might be passionate they might be sweet
But they all felt so incomplete
After you- it was always you
Life is a carousel as it’s spinning around
I see a million eager hearts go by
But darling truth to tell just one heart I’ve found
And each time it comes round the feeling still astounds me
Lovers well there may have been others
And I knew then a tender moment or two
They might be passionate they might be sweet
But they all felt so incomplete
After you it was always you
After you it was always you

Melancholy Rain
05:08
|
|||
|
Mornings it’s there the melancholy rain
Taps at my door and on my windowpane
Visits with me sad company
Knows how I feel there is no need to explain
Evening comes on the moon may wax or wane
Clouds fill the sky with melancholy rain
Gently it falls as love it recalls
Humming and drumming my melancholy pain
Lately I wonder what I’ve become
Gloomy and low and glum
A heart on the way to numb
But when I fear heartbreak is all too near
The rain weeps my every tear
It knows where I’m coming from
Stranded in memory’s melancholy lane
Some sparks from love’s sweet fire may remain
Flames could revive passions come alive
But embers just die in the melancholy rain
Lately I wonder what I’ve become
Gloomy and low and glum
A heart on the way to numb
But when I fear heartbreak is all too near
The rain weeps my every tear
It knows where I’m coming from
Stranded in memory’s melancholy lane
Some sparks from love’s sweet fire may remain
Flames could revive passions come alive
But embers just die in the melancholy rain
The melancholy rain
The melancholy rain

Give and Take

GIVE AND TAKE
You know love is not a piece of cake
You gotta work real hard to keep away from heartache
Stay alert stay awake
Step on the gas then hit the break
Listen Jake you gotta learn to give and take
And you better be sweet to your little cupcake
Doncha start behaving like a total flake now
Watch out it would be a mistake
To cheat or run around or go on the make
Give your head a shake
You gotta learn to give and take
Well be a man do the best you can and try not to be a jerk
You gotta do whatcha do from the point of view of trying to make things work
Don’t be a fool stubborn like a mule set on getting your own way
A little tit for tat a bit of this for that and everything’ll be okay
Be a man do the best you can and try not to be a jerk
You gotta do whatcha do from the point of view of trying to make things work
Hey don’t be a fool stubborn like a mule set on getting your own way
A little tit for tat a bit of this for that and everything’ll be okay
Love can make you shiver and quake
It can be like winning a big sweepstake
But you gotta keep it real it’s something you can’t fake
It’s hard work and there ain’t no coffee break
Don’t moan and groan and bellyache
You gotta learn to give and take
It’s a fact Jack
That’s right Dwight
It’s true Sue
And it’s tricky Dicky
That’s the case Ace
You gotta learn to give and take
It’s your duty MacVooty
It’s no lie Sly
It’s what you do Stu
It’s how it goes Mose
In the end friend
You gotta learn to give and take

O Silly Me
03:49
|
|||
|
Oh Silly Me
Oh silly me I tried to set you free
But it is plain to see
It wasn’t meant to be
Cuz now I’m back at your door
With my chin on the floor
Put my pride aside to say that I miss you
Oh silly you believing we were through
Well that would never do
Cause hello peek a boo
I‘m standing outside your door
On the twenty first floor
Confessing that I cannot dismiss you
Oh silly us creating such a fuss
Over something that was nothing at all
I could sit at home and wait for you to call
But I would rather serenade you from the hall
Oh silly me I’ll never let you be
You’re really up a tree
Because eventually
You know that I’m gonna win
So why not just give in
C’mon and open up the door and I’ll kiss you
Oh silly us creating such a fuss
Over something that was nothing at all
I could sit at home and wait for you to call
But I would rather serenade you from the hall
Oh silly me I’ll never let you be
You’re really up a tree
Because eventually
You know that I’m gonna win
So why not just give in
C’mon and open up the door and I’ll kiss you
Open up the door and I’ll kiss you
C’mon and open up the door and I’ll kiss you

The Chase
03:30
|
|||
|
This feeling will be my undoing
A constant restlessness that’s brewing
Some unknown I’m pursuing
I can’t let it go
Is it a dream that I am chasing
Is it a crossroads that I’m facing
A need that needs embracing
I don’t even know
Why can’t I satisfy this yearning in my soul
Why can’t I discover the thing that makes me whole
It comes so near just to disappear but I feel it’s real not a fantasy
This endless chase this crazy race
It will not let me be
Just out of reach it’s still eluding me
Revealing then concealing it remains a mystery
In sunlight or in the dark night it hides in plain sight there right in front of me
My endless quest just won’t let me rest
Until it sets me free

Secret Garden
03:30
|
|||
|
In a secret garden where no one’s ever been
There’s a tiny flower no one’s ever seen
Hidden in the tangles leaning toward the sun
Growing patiently
Knowing it will be
Glorious to see
Full and fierce and free
And it’s just begun
And so it goes and so it grows
From budding blossom to perfect rose
With time and tenderness and care
We’ll have this miracle to share
Fervent fresh and fragile give our love a start
In the secret garden of your hidden heart
And so it goes and so it grows
From budding blossom to perfect rose
With time and tenderness and care
We’ll have this miracle to share
Fervent fresh and fragile give our love a start
In the secret garden of your hidden heart
In the secret garden of your hidden heart
The secret garden of your hidden heart

If You See Me Comin
03:59
|
|||
|
Now if you see me coming walking down the street
And the memory that takes hold of me is just too sharp and sweet
I was kind of coping until you came in view
So won’t you walk on by don’t you watch me cry
That’d never do
Cause baby I’m still stuck in our used to be
Just a fool in love with a memory
So if you see me coming would you be so kind
Not to look my way give me the time of day or pay me any mind
Cause if I see you coming and the teardrops start
It’s only silly me with my misery and my foolish heart
Darling I loved too well but maybe not too wise
Just a fool in love until the day he dies
So if you see me coming and it seems that I’m blue
I’m gonna be okay but turn your gaze away
That’s the thing to do
Cause if I see you coming and my teardrops start
Just you let things be it’s only silly me and my broken heart
Well won’t you let things be it’s silly same old me and my broken heart

Waking Up To Fog
04:56
|

Waking up to fog
That blankets the bay
Mists of the morning
Rising every which way
Can't see what’s before me
If it’s night if it’s day
Waking up to fog
Wandering through mist
Swirling and grey
Everything's moving
Into my way
Circling and swarming
Since you left yesterday
Waking up to fog
The morning after
The night gone by
I’ve lost my direction
My reason why
Without you this haze
Just won’t disappear
I need you to tell me
It's gonna be clear
Waking up to fog
The morning after
The night gone by
I’ve lost my direction
My reason why
Without you this haze
Just won’t disappear
I need you to tell me
It's gonna be clear
Waking up to fog
Waking up to fog
That shadows the shore Can day ever dawn
The way it did before
Rise but no shine
Just one morning more
Waking up to fog
Waking up to fog
Waking up to fog

I’ve got a date with Tomorrow
I haven’t met him yet
But when I do I’m sure it’s true
He’ll be one I can’t forget
My heart belongs to Tomorrow
Though we’ve not been introduced
I haven’t a doubt he’ll knock me right out
Resistance will be no use
Pleased to meet you how d’you do
He’ll smile and take my hand
And I will say I’m fine today
And he will understand
I’m so in love with Tomorrow
Cause he’s the coming thing
And he loves me it seems at least in my dreams
So let’s see what tomorrow brings
Pleased to meet you how d’you do
He’ll smile and take my hand
And I will say I’m fine today
And he will understand
I’m so in love with Tomorrow
Cause he’s the coming thing
And he loves me it seems at least in my dreams
So let’s see what tomorrow brings

Good Bad Boy
03:13
|
|||
|
You turned up when I was feeling down
Nothing right was left
Things were wrong alright
You turned it all around
Now I’m head over heels with my heart in my hand
Wondering where we might be bound
Oh I was low my nights were slow and mean
Now I’m happy to say
The sad’s gone away
I’m perking like a coffee machine
So hold on tight and let loose baby
We could make a hell of a team
Cause you’re the first man that I ever hoped would last
You’re a gift from heaven
A present with a past
And you kiss real slow but with help I know
You’re gonna make a move real fast
With what you’ve got to give I’m really gonna live
You know that the dye is cast
And we’re gonna have a blast
You are the first man that I ever hoped would last
You’re a gift from heaven
A present with a past
And you kiss real slow but with help I know
You’re gonna make a move real fast
With what I’ve got to give you’re really gonna live
You know that the dye is cast
And we’re gonna have a blast
So tell me papa can I be your honey child
You’re a good bad boy
Smoking hot and cool
You know how to get me riled
So stick with me and I’ll set you free
C’mon and let me drive you wild
Yea stick with me and I’ll set you free
C’mon and let me drive you wild
You can be the papa I can be the honey child

Eres mi sol
Eres mi cielo
Eres mi alma
Mi vida entera
Que vienen los dias
Que pasa cada ano
Solo a ti necesito
Eres todo lo que quiero
El mundo hermoso ya no puedo anhelar
Tu cara es el mundo que voy a explorar
Que viene otono
Que viene invierno
Aqui en mis brazos
Seras siempre mi verano
El mundo hermoso ya no puedo anhelar
Tu cara es el mundo que voy a explorar
Mi amor no te vas
Si para siempre me amaras
Pues juntos te aviso
Encontraremos paraiso
Juntos te aviso
Encontraremos paraiso
Eres mi sol

Trouble
04:39
|

|
Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you
A wise man said it and I do believe it’s true
Me I’m just a guy who’s dogged by catastrophe
Now I’m in trouble with a capital T
Trouble trouble trouble it’s my new lifestyle
I ain’t seen trouble like this for a very long while
But I don’t need to worry in fact I’m feeling fine
I ain’t been in trouble this good for a real long time
The last thing I needed was trouble in the first degree
I wasn’t looking for trouble but somehow trouble found me
I was knocked out and gobsmacked dumbfounded thunderstruck
Tongue tied stupefied just can’t believe my luck
Trouble trouble trouble it’s my new lifestyle
I ain’t seen trouble like this for a very long while
But I don’t need to worry in fact I’m feeling fine
I ain’t been in trouble this good for a real long time
Look up trouble in the dictionary
Well they’ve got a picture there of you and me
And I just can’t decide which one is worse
Falling for you or King Tut’s curse
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I’m living on the edge since we met up you bet
No life jacket panic button seat belt or safety net
And I’m flabbergasted half masted headed for a hell of a mess
Do I really want to go there I think the answer’s yes
Trouble trouble trouble it’s my new lifestyle
I ain’t seen trouble like this for a very long while
But I don’t need to worry in fact I’m feeling fine
I ain’t been in trouble this good for a real long time
No I ain’t been in trouble this good for a real long time
I ain’t been in trouble this good for a real long time

When It Slipped Away
04:06
|
|||
|
Where do dreams go when they fade and die
Where do hopes go when they fly
When a promise is broken will it ever mend
When a story unravels can we still pretend
Where does time go when it runs out
Where does truth go when it fills with doubt
Nothing is constant but change or so they say
But where did our love go when it slipped away
Where does time go when it runs out
Where does truth go when it fills with doubt
Nothing is constant but change or so they say
But where did our love go when it slipped away
