	A Thousand Dreams Lyrics Song For The Asking Paul Simon Here is my song for the asking Ask me and I will play So sweetly, I'll make you smile This is my tune for the asking Take it, don't turn away I've been waiting all my life Thinking it over I've been sad Thinking it over I'd be more than glad To change my ways For the asking Ask me and I will play All the love that I hold inside Switzerland Lori Lieberman To and from my Switzerland Pleated skirt and heart in hand Never knowing where I stand The middle child, the family plan The airplane lands and lands and lands In Switzerland Dearest picture on the wall They said we won't be here for long I guess I knew it all along Another spring, another fall And Mama says I'm growing tall In Switzerland Will you remember me Will you remember me Will you remember me Will you remember me Oui, c'est une Américaine, Américaine, o oui Oui, c'est une Américaine, Américaine, o oui O Oui, c'est une Américaine, Américaine, o oui Switzerland Switzerland My sisters always left by chance Germany, the South of France But how was I to understand Their sad good-byes without a glance They blew a kiss and waved their hand To Switzerland Will you remember me Will you remember me Will you remember me Will you remember me Oui, c'est une Américaine, Américaine, o oui Oui, c'est une Américaine, Américaine, o oui O Oui, c'est une Américaine, Américaine, o oui Switzerland Switzerland Drive On Lori Lieberman additional lyrics by Peter Bunetta Car of tin, heart of steel Neither one knows how to feel You spin your soul around your wheels And you drive on, drive on Drive on and on Rusted dreams, dusty roads Warm you when the nights get cold And hold you when there's no one to hold And you drive on, drive on Drive on and on A worn out bed and some cheap perfume Will help you get through a night or two When the morning comes along And your loneliness is gone You drive on and on Love will come and go Like tattered seats and silver chrome The engine sparks, it fuels the heart Almost as sure as the moonlight Blinding you just like the headlights Burning as bright as the stars... Car of tin, heart of steel Neither one knows how to feel You spin my soul around your wheels When you drive on Can you tell me for how long Will you drive on and on When you drive on and on... Love Takes Time Lori Lieberman Love's never how you plan it It has a will all its own You can try to hold it But if it wants to it will go There's nothing anyone can say to help you make it through You can cry your heart out But it won't change what love will do It happens every minute Someone says "this time it's real" Strangers become lovers Never sure of how they feel Over and over it will always be the same They want to keep the fire But they're scared to touch the flame Love takes time This much I know Love needs time to grow and grow It can close just like a violet Or open like a rose You say we'll last forever I hope to God it's true No one could know me better More completely than you do Long before I met you I was just an empty shell I do not dare to question What time alone will tell Love takes time This much I know Love needs time to grow and grow It can close just like a violet Or open like a rose It can close just like a violet Or open like a rose One Thing Lori Lieberman One thing about my baby Oh he loves to dance Rhythm and a backbeat hold him Tighter than romance Something about the way he moves I can't be certain of Oh it makes me crazy Just thinkin' bout my love One thing about my baby Oh he loves to sing Melody or harmony Just about anything Anytime I go to hear him singin' Shoo-be doo-be doo ba bah Oh it makes me crazy Just thinkin' bout his love Anytime that people see us They wish that they were me They're livin on a shoestring I'm riding' in a limousine But it's never how it looks No it's never how it seems One thing about my baby Oh he loves the girls Skinny ones and red-headed ones He takes them around the world Something about the way he comes home When he's had enough It makes me laugh It makes me cry Just thinkin' bout my love He's A Leaver Lori Lieberman He's a leaver Why does he run away Why can't he change his ways I'm not like all the rest Never made him feel he was second best And I wish I knew what I could do To have him back again But he's a leaver He always has been that way He told me he'd never stay I never realized Foolishly I thought I could change his mind And I wish I knew waht I could do To make him want to stay I tried so hard to stay cool I played it cool Unselfishly Every time I touched him It was just him I didn't want to see He's a leaver Where will he go this time Who will he leave behind I can't forget that face Can't forget that look as he walked away And I wish I knew what I could do To make him want to stay He's a leaver Women Like Me Lori Lieberman I know a woman, the same as I With blonde in her hair and blue in her eyes There is a man who's married to her He says he loves me I wonder There is a woman, the same as I Who loves with the shame and sees through the lies If it is love that we're asking for Why can'twe believe we're worthy of more Oh women like me We never let go Women like me And there will always be Women like me We share one life divided in three For him and for her and a little for me The rain it will freeze, the fire will burn One heart it will ache, the other will yearn Oh women like me We never say no Women like me And he will always seek Women like me Secrets and promises, anger and blame And every night the moon above us Says he will change And every time we think it's over It's always the same Always the same Oh women like me We never give up Women like me Women like me And he will always leave Women like me My Heart Longs For You Lori Lieberman Like the light of the sun Like the white of the moon Like the wind needs its song How my heart longs for you Every day, every night Every page, every hour Every tear, right or wrong How my heart longs for you How could you know How could you see Are you alone Do you long for me Like the light of the sun Like a soul soft and true Like a child cries for love How my heart longs for you When shadows fall In restless sleep You'll hear me call A sound sad and deep Like the light of the sun Like the white of the moon Like the wind needs its song How my heart longs for you I'll Never Have The Heart (To Leave This Town) Mike Reid, Steve Seskin Ole Mister Riley he's a regular clock You can tell the time of day by his morning walk And Betty's cafe always fill up fast Down at Henry's station, Henry pumps the gas Sure as the sun sets over the ridge There will always be lovers at the covered bridge I'll never have the heart to leave this town Tried a time or two but I turned around No matter where I go this is where I'm bound No I'll never have the heart To leave this town You can hear the latest news at the barber shop Did the county fix the road, will this rain ever stop You can catch a double feature at the movie house Grab a bite at Betty's when the show lets out And the bus at the station leaves twice a day There's always someone lookin' for a better way I'll never have the heart to leave this town Tried a time or two but I turned around No matter where I got this is where I'm bound And I'll never have the heart To leave this town Time After Time Lori Lieberman Time after time he wondered why Out of the blue she said good-bye He shook his head, he smiled and said "It's only for a while", but then The days they turned into lonely nights The cases of beer and T.V. guides "It's only make believe", he said, and "She'll come back to me", he said But did you say you loved her? No, I never told her so Did you say you need her? Well, she surely must have known And time after time as time goes by All he can do is sit and cry His friends would try to make him see His love is a futility But he believes in miracles and water from a stone And never was she so in love And never so alone And night after night she cries at the dark She yells at the moon and screams at the stars "There are times when I miss him so And I wait by the telephone He doesn't care, or he'd have let me know It's just as well I had the nerve to go" And night after night he cries at the dark He yells at the moon and he screams at the stars "I've had enough of this foolish act, And enough of this time has passed As for love, she was my first and last I would have told her if she'd only asked" Blue Memory Lori Lieberman In the light of the day I forget that it's over I imagine you're here With your hand on my shoulder I've got to find you How can it be That a love can slip away Do you still think of me Oh, baby,if I only knew If someone had told me I'd have held on to you Oh darlin', if I'd only seen Maybe I'd be more to you Than a blue memory When the hummingbird hums I'll be long, long gone Spend the rest of my nights Wonderin' what went wrong Until I find you There's no other way I'll hang on to my heart For as long as it takes Oh baby, if I only knew If someone had told me I'd have held on to you Oh darlin', if I'd only seen Maybe we'd be more today Than a blue memory With love there's just no guarantee If falls apart so easily It is the cure in times of need It is the knife that makes you bleed From the look on your face I could tell that it's over Said you'd keep me warm Then you gave me the cold shoulder Come on, baby, tell me the truth How'd you look me in the heart When you said, "I love you"? Oh, baby if I only knew If someone had told me I'd have let go of you Oh, darlin' if I'd only seen Maybe we'd be more today Than a blue memory It Was A Time Lori Lieberman It was a while ago And I was nothing more than a child All of my thoughts and poems A while ago A time ago Killing Me Softly Fox/Gimbel, based on a poem by Lori Lieberman I heard he sang a good song I heard he had a style And so I came to see him To listen for a while And there he was, this young boy A stranger to my eyes Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling me whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song I felt all flushed with fever Embarrassed by the crowd I felt he found my letters And read each one out loud I prayed that he would finish But he just kept right on Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling me whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song He sang as if it he knew me In all my dark despair And then he looked right through me As if I wasn't there But he was there, this stranger Singing clear and strong Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling me whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song A Thousand Dreams Lori Lieberman The sun goes down, I go down with it Into a night of a thousand dreams The moon goes 'round,I go 'round with it Just for a moment my heart is free I dream we're like we used to be Dancing on this earth No tears to cry, no sad goodbyes No secrets in the dirt If we are blind will you give us your eyes to see If we are weak will you steady our fall If you can hear, make us one lasting promise You will remember They will remember The times of our lives The sun goes down, I go down with it Searching for answers, I fall asleep The world goes 'round,I go 'round with it And pray for the chance that you'll come to me And say the worst is over now There's no more need to hide No one will look the other way The young will never die If we are blind you will give us your eyes to see If we are weak you will steady our fall Oh what a dream I had, filled with such promise Out of the embers We could remember The hope in our lives Reasons spoken Filtered through sand and through time Silence broken Here in my mind Please believe me, I give you my promise They will remember I will remember The times of my life The sun goes down, I go down with it Into a night of a thousand dreams The moon goes 'round,I go 'round with it Just for a moment my heart is free Please believe me, I give you my promise They will remember We will remember The hope in our lives
