(a ballad)

VERSE

One sunny day I found you.
You were laughing and having fun.
Oh what a sunny day that was.
You were brighter than the sun.
So lovely and radiant you were.
You kept all the clouds away.
You did.

VERSE

One sunny day I kissed you.
We were happy and having fun.
Oh what a sunny day that was.
You were warmer than the sun.
So happy and innocent we were.
We kept all the rain away.
We did.

CHORUS

Now you are gone.
Now it rains every day.
No more sunny skies now.
No more sun.

VERSE

One sunny day you left me.
And you took the sun away.
Oh what a sunny day that was.
Then the clouds and wind and rain.
So happy and carefree I was.
Then you took the sun away.
You did.

CHORUS

Now you are gone.
Now it rains every day.
No more sunny skies now.
No more sun.

(a pop song)

VERSE

Are you ready for my love?
You don’t have to be alone.
Life’s too fast, life’s too short
To spend it on your own.
My love will knock you off your feet
If you’ll only let it.
If you’re not ready for my love
Someone else will get it.

CHORUS

I’m ready to love you.
If you’re ready for my love.
Are you ready? Are you ready?
I’m ready to love you.
Are you ready for my love?
Are you ready? Are you ready?

VERSE

Are you ready for my love?
If you are, I’m ready too.
But love won’t wait for anyone
And I can’t wait for you.
I’ll love you till the day I die
If you’ll only let me.
If you’re not ready for my love
Someone else will get me.

CHORUS

I’m ready to love you.
If you’re ready for my love.
Are you ready? Are you ready?
I’m ready to love you.
Are you ready for my love?
Are you ready? Are you ready?

BRIDGE

Go ahead and love me
Or go ahead and go.
Life goes by much too fast.
You’re moving much too slow.

VERSE

Are you ready for my love?
I don’t want to be alone.
Life’s too fast, life’s too short
To spend it on my own.
You’re the one I’m ready to love
If only I can get you.
If you’re not ready for my love
It’s time I forget you.

CHORUS

I’m ready to love you.
If you’re ready for my love.
Are you ready? Are you ready?
I’m ready to love you.
Are you ready for my love?
Are you ready? Are you ready?

(a country ballad)

Oh why did you hurt me?
Why did you desert me?
Why did you treat me that way?
You said you still loved me.
Then how could you shove me
Out of your life that way?
One day elated,
The next devastated
And sadder than I could say.
Our days in the sun
Were so quickly undone
The day before Valentine’s Day.

I remember the day when you went away.
It was the day before Valentine’s Day.
You broke my heart. You broke it apart
On the day before Valentine’s Day.

We shared so much joy.
Why did you destroy
It all in the blink of an eye?
Together at dawn,
By night you were gone.
You wouldn’t even tell me why.
You stripped me of hope,
Left me trying to cope
Without the love we had grown.
When you left my side,
A part of me died.
I never felt so alone.

I begged you to stay but you went away.
It was the day before Valentine’s Day.
You broke my heart when you broke us apart
On the day before Valentine’s Day.

One day it was great,
The next day too late.
I couldn’t convince you to stay.
If you could explain,
It would help ease the pain,
Though nothing can take it away.
Still I’m glad we met,
And I’ll never forget
How I loved you, and I love you still.
I loved you the day
Before Valentine’s Day
And I guess that I always will.

I remember the day when you went away.
It was the day before Valentine’s Day.
You broke my heart. You tore it apart
On the day before Valentine’s Day.

(a ballad)

I think about you all the time.
It doesn’t seem that long.
It seems like only yesterday.
The memories are strong.
And when I think about you
I can’t help but smile.
You were all I ever wanted
All the while.

All the while.
All the while I thought you were in love with me.
All the while I thought I’d found what love could be.
I thought you really loved me all the while.

We met about a year ago.
I can’t forget the night.
From the moment that I saw you
Everything seemed right.
Worldliness and innocence,
Beauty, brains, and style.
I thought that you were perfect
All the while.

All the while.
All the while I thought it would be you and me.
All the while I thought our love would always be.
I thought we’d last forever all the while.

And the more I got to know you
The more I was impressed.
But it was just a game to you.
I never even guessed.
You charmed me with your sweetness,
Fooled me with your smile.
I thought you really loved me
All the while.

All the while.
All the while when I was saying I love you.
All the while you said you felt the same way too.
You told me that you loved me all the while.

I never thought you’d tell a lie,
Especially to me.
I was so in love with you
That I just couldn’t see.
How could I misjudge you so?
Miss you by a mile?
I really thought you loved me
All the while.

All the while.
All the while I loved you I just couldn’t see.
All the while you never were in love with me.
You never ever loved me all the while.

(a ballad)

A body like a beauty queen,
The prettiest face I’ve ever seen,
That’s not why I love you like I do.
You look beautiful all the time,
But gorgeous women aren’t hard to find.
That’s not why I love you like I do.

That’s not why I love you.
That’s not why I love you.
That’s not why I love you like I do.

You make me feel like a king,
Like the man who has everything.
That’s not why I love you like I do.
You treat me great, but I confess
I think I deserve nothing less.
That’s not why I love you like I do.

That’s not why I love you.
That’s not why I love you.
That’s not why I love you like I do.

Of all your charms, the real prize
Shines in your smile and in your eyes.
That is why I love you like I do.
I love you most for what’s inside.
Your most beautiful feature is your mind.
That is why I love you like I do.

That is why I love you.
That is why I love you.
That is why I love you like I do.

(a ballad)

Once before I fell in love, dear,
And once again a time or two.
But never like this.
No, never like this.
I fell hard for you.

I never, ever saw it coming.
I never had a clue.
But I couldn’t resist.
No, I couldn’t resist.
I fell hard for you.

I fell hard for you, dear.
I don’t know what to do.
I fell hard.
Oh, so hard.
I fell hard for you.

I told myself that I’d know better,
That this time I’d know what to do.
What a kiss.
Oh, what a kiss.
I fell hard for you.

If I can’t make you love me.
I don’t know what I’ll do.
Tell me this.
Please tell me this.
I fell hard for you too.

I fell hard for you, dear.
I’m so in love with you.
I fell hard.
So very hard.
I fell hard for you.

(a ballad)

I want to be with you when the sun goes down.
I want to be with you when it’s dawning.
I want to kiss you goodnight tonight
And wake you with a kiss in the morning.

So say
That you want me like I want you.
Please say
That you’ll always want me too.
Won’t you say
That you love me like I love you.
It’s not so much, that’s all I want you to say.

I want to be with you in the winter time
And in the spring when the earth is reborning.
I want to fall asleep next to you each night
And wake up next to you every morning.

So say
That you need me like I need you.
Please say
That you’ll always need me too.
Won’t you say
That you love me like I love you.
It’s not too much, that’s all I want you to say.

I want to be with you in the prime of life
And still be there when death brings its warning.
I want to say goodnight with a kiss each night
And say I love you with a kiss every morning.

So say
That you love me like I love you.
Please say
That you’ll always love me too.
Won’t you say
What I say when I say “I do”.
Just two little works, that’s all I want you to say.

(a pop song)

He’s from where no one else is from.
He’s felt the rays of a younger sun.
He’s been where no one else has been.
He knows what it was like back then.

He’s a guinea pig trapped in a time travel cage.
He’s living in somebody else’s age.
He’s way ahead of his time
But his time was such a long time ago.

He’s out of place and out of touch.
To him the world is much too much.
He’s with us now at our behest,
A welcome but unwilling guest.

He’s a silent actor in the audio age,
Bleeding all over an unnoticed stage.
He’s way ahead of his time
But his time was such a long time ago.

He’s seen the way the world has grown.
He’s seen our time. He prefers his own.
We brought him here and he can see
The future’s not what it should be.

He’s a Renaissance man in the robot age.
Our entire world is his lonely cage.
He’s way ahead of his time
But his time was such a long time ago.

(a rock song)

I’m looking for a perfect girl.
My one-in-a-million girl.
I want a girl who will love me right.
I’m looking for a perfect girl.

I want a girl who looks good in a bathing suit, a girl with long blonde hair.
I want a girl who doesn’t need make-up, a girl with a real nice pair.
I want a girl who’s good in the kitchen, a girl who’s good in bed.
I want a girl who will keep me happy, a girl who will keep me fed.

I’m looking for a perfect girl.
My one-in-a-million girl.
I want a girl who will love me right.
I’m looking for a perfect girl.

I want a girl who doesn’t smoke cigarettes, a girl who likes rock and roll.
I want a girl who likes my bad habits, a girl who takes me whole.
I want a girl with a head on her shoulders, a girl who pays her own way.
I want a girl who will let me fool around, a girl who will never stray.

I’m looking for a perfect girl.
My one-in-a-million girl.
I want a girl who will love me right.
I’m looking for a perfect girl.

I want a girl who likes to go places, a girl who likes it everywhere.
I want a girl who makes more than I do, a girl who’s a millionaire.
I want a girl with a good sense of humor, a girl with a real nice smile.
I want a girl who minds her own business, a girl who will love me while

I’m looking for a perfect girl.
My one-in-a-million girl.
I want a girl who will love me while
I’m looking for a perfect girl.

A perfect girl, a perfect girl,
I’m looking for a perfect girl.
I want a girl who will love me right.
I’m looking for a perfect girl.

(a country song)

I loved you, girl, with all my heart. You said the same to me.
Then you tore our love apart. It’s just a memory.
You told me that you loved me, and you say that you still do.
Yet you turned and left me. I can’t reconcile the two.

It hurts too much to love you
Since you walked out my door.
It hurts too much to love you
So I don’t love you any more.

You hurt me more than I can say. I never felt so bad.
When you turned and walked away I never felt so sad.
It hurt so much I never thought that I could feel so blue.
I didn’t know I could be hurt as much as I was by you.

It hurts too much to love you
Since you walked out my door.
It hurts too much to love you
So I don’t love you any more.

I’m not angry or resentful. That never crossed my mind.
I don’t hold the pain against you. I’ve left it all behind.
Don’t worry about hurting me, that’s something you can’t do.
You could only hurt me if I was still in love with you.

It hurts too much to love you
Since you walked out my door.
It hurts too much to love you
So I don’t love you any more.
