For love is surrender
You must surrender if you care
You must surrender if you care
MAYBE IT'S YOU
Words by John Bettis
Music by Richard Carpenter
Maybe it's you, maybe it's me
Maybe t's just the constant
Rhythm of the sea
Maybe it's just that I've never been
The kind who can
pass a lucky penny by
Maybe it's wise, maybe it's not
Maybe it's you who brought
The caring I'd forgot
Isn't it nice to talk about
The special way you
Smile whenever I'm around
Rising on the shore the ocean came
Walks among the waves of velveteen
His only thought is love for me
Couldn't we stay, or must we go
Couldn't we stay and watch
The splashing rocks we throw
Only a fool would want to leave
The paradise I find whever you're around
Only a fool
Isn’t it nice to talk about
The special way that you smile
whenever I’m around
Rising on the shore the ocean came
Walks along the waves of velveteen
His only thought was love for me
Ooh, love for me
Couldn’t we stay, or must you go
Couldn’t we stay and watch
The splashing rocks we throw
Only a fool would want to leave
The paradise I find whenever you’re around
Only a fool
Only a fool
REASON TO BELIEVE
Words and Music
By Tim Hardin
If I listen long enough to you
I'll find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied
Straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
Someone like you
Makes it hard to live without somebody else
Someone like you
Makes it easy to give never thinking of myself
If you took the time to change my mind
I'd find a way to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied
Straight-faced while I cried
Someone like you
Makes it hard to live without somebody else
Someone like you
Makes it easy to give never thinking of myself
If I listen long enough to you
I'll find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied
Straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
Someone like you
Makes it hard to live without somebody else
Someone like you
Makes it easy to give never thinking of myself
HELP!
Words by John Lennon
Music by Paul McCartney
When I was younger, so much
Younger than today
I never needed anybody’s help
In any way
But now
these days are gone
I’m not so self assure
Now I find I’ve changed my mind
I’ve opened up the door
Help
me if you can I’m feeling down
And if you do appreciate you being round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won’t
you please, please help me
(Please help me)
And now my life has changed in
Oh! so many ways
My independence seems to vanish
In the
haze
And every now and then
I feel so insecure
I know that I need you like
I’ve never done before
Help me if you can I’m feeling down
And if you do appreciate you being round
Help me get my feet back on the
ground
Won’t you please, please help me
(Please help me)
Ah! ah! ah! ah!
Ah! ah! ah! ah!
Help me if you can I’m feeling down
And if you do appreciate you being round
Help me get my feet back on the
ground
Won’t you please, please help me
(Please help me)
(THEY LONG TO BE) CLOSE TO YOU
Words by Hal David
Music by Burt Bacharach
Why do birds suddenly appear
Everytime you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Everytime you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born
The angels got together and decided
To create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold
and starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they
long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born
The angels got together and decided
To create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold
and starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they
long to be
Close to you
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Wahh ahh ahh ahh... close to you
BABY IT'S YOU
Words by Mack David
Music by Burt Bacharach
and Barry Williams
It’s not the way you smile
That touches my heart
It’s not the way you kiss
That tears me apart
Many,
many nights go by
I sit alone at home I cry
Over you what can I do
Can’t help myself
(’cause baby
it’s you)
You should hear what they say about you
(Cheating)
They say you’ve never
Never, never been true
Oh! oh! oh!
Doesn’t matter what they say
I’m
gonna love you any old way
What can I do when it’s true?
(Don’t want nobody ’cause baby it’s
you)
Many, many, many nights go by
I sit alone at home I cry
Over you what can I do?
(Can’t help
myself ’cause baby it’s you)
(Wah sha la la la la laa)
I'LL NEVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN
Words by Hal David
Music by Burt Bacharach
(here to remind you, here to remind you,
Here to remind you, here to remind you)
What do you get when you fall
in love
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That’s what you get for all your trouble
I’ll never fall
in love again
I’ll never fall in love again
What do you get when you kiss a guy
You get enough germs to
catch pneumonia
After you do, he’ll never phone you
I’ll never fall in love again
I’ll never fall
in love again
Don’t tell me what it’s all about
’cause I’ve been there and I’m glad
I’m out
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I’m here to remind you
What do
you get when you fall in love?
You get enough tears to fill an ocean
That's what you get for your devotion
I’ll
never fall in love again
I’ll never fall in love again
What do you get when you fall in love
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So, for at least until tomorrow
I’ll
never fall in love again
I’ll never fall in love again
Don’t tell me what it’s all about
’cause
I’ve been there and I’m glad I’m out
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I’m
have here to remind you
Here to remind you, here to remind you
Oh! here to remind you
What do you get when you
fall in love
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So, for at least until tomorrow
I’ll never fall in love
again
I’ll never fall in love again
CRESCENT NOON
Words by John Bettis
Music by Richard Carpenter
Green september burned to october brown
Bare november led to
December’s
frozen ground
The seasons stumbled round
Our drifting lives are bound
To
a falling crescent noon
Feather clouds cry
A vale of tears to earth
Morning breaks and
No one sees the quiet
mountain birth
Dressed in a brand new day
The sun is on it’s way
To a falling crescent noon
Somewhere
in a fairytale forest
Lies one answer that is waiting to be heard
You and I were born like the breaking day
All our seasons
Aall our green septembers burn away
Slowly we’ll fade into
A sea of midnight blue
And a falling crescent noon
MR. GUDER
Words by John Bettis
Music by Richard
Carpenter
Mr. Guder. Say! Mr. Guder
May I have a moment with you
Because there is something I've got to say
And please
don't let it scare you away
Mr. Guder. Say! Mr. Guder
I have seen you go through a day
You're everything
a robot lives for
Walk in at 9 and roll out the door at 5
You reflect the company image
You maintain
their rules to live by
Shine your shoes let's keep a neat haircut
Now that you're wearing a coat and tie
Mr.
Guder. Say! Mr. Guder
Some day soon may realize
You spend your life just playing a game
Where no ones wins but
everyone stays the same
You reflect the company image
You maintain their rules to live by
Shine your
shoes let's keep a neat haircut
Now that you're wearing a coat and tie
Mr. Guder. Say! Mr. Guder
Some day
soon may realize
You spend your life just playing a game
Where no ones wins but everyone stays the same
The
sa-a-a-me
Please!
Play your game!
Stay the same!
I KEPT ON LOVING YOU
Words by Paul Williams
Music by Roger Nichols
I ran away from you
And left you crying
And though I’m back to stay
You think I’m lying
But
I’ve changed my ways
And my wandering days are through
Through it all I kept on loving you
Don’t
worry baby please don’t cry
I’m home for good and I will never leave you
don’t worry baby please don’t
cry
You must believe me I will never leave you
Never leave you
You’ve heard this song before I can’t
deny it
The road is long and wide I had to try it
Though I love you girl these were things
I had to do
Through
it all I kept on loving you
Don’t worry baby please don’t cry
I’m home for good and I will never leave you
don’t worry
baby please don’t cry
You must believe me I will never leave you
Never leave you
ANOTHER SONG
Words by John Bettis
Music by Richard Carpenter
The
moon that rose now descended
And a love once shared now had ended
And soon the day would come
And when the
day had come
The light that fell at dawn was cold
The warmth of you had gone
A taste of loneliness
Cut through the earliness
And oh the winds sang of you
Softly they said
All
of my favorite dreams were dead
Leaving a cloud of sadness in my head
And though I’m buried in
A sad song
of the morning wind
I know the day would bring
Another song for me to sing
But when the day had come
The light
that fell at dawn was cold
The warmth of you had gone
(Go-o-o-ne)
