Lyrics                  「心愉しい詩歌」へ戻る

 1.  In my life
 2.  Open arms
 3.  For all we know

 4.  Close to you
 5.  I need to be in love
 6.  Top of the world

 7.  Yesterday once more
 8.  We've only just begun
 9.  Rainy days and mondays
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

 1.  In my life

There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their meaning
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories love their meaning
When I think of love as something new

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my live I love you more
In my live I love you more

 2.  Open arms

Lying beside you, here in the dark
Feeling your heart beat with mine
Softly you wisper, you're so sincere
How could I love you so blind
We drifted apart
And here you are by my side

So now I come to you, with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me

Open arms Living without you, living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near
How much I wanted you home

But now that you're come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay

So now I come to you, with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms

 3.  For all we know

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 - - - -

 4.  Close to you

Love , look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
We've got a lifetime to share
So much to say
And as we go on from day to day

I'll feel you close to me
But time alone will tell
Let's take a lifetime to say
I knew you well
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow for all we know

Love , Look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
Let's take a lifetime to say

I know you well
But only time will tell us so
And love may grow for all we know

 5.  I need to be in love

The hardest thing I've ever done
Is keeping believing
There's someone in this crazy world for me
The way that people come and go
Through temporary lives
My chance could come and I might never know

I used to say " No promises
Let's keep it simple "
But freedom only helps you say good-bye

It took a while for me to learn
That nothin' comes for free
The price I've paid is high enough for me

I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time too
I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

So here I am with pockets full
Of good intentions
But none of them will comfort me tonight
I'm wide awake at four a.m.
Without friend in sight
Hanging on a hope but I'm alright

 6.  Top of the world

Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream

Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen.

I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's telling me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasin' sense of hapiness for me

There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here

 7.  Yesterday once more    

When I was young
I'd listen to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
Waiting they played I'd sing along
It made me smile

Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone
But they're back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well

Every Sha-la-la la
Every Wo-o-wa-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing's
So fine

When they got to the part
Where he's breakin' her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more

Lookin'back on how it was
In years gone by
And good times that I had
Makes today seen rather sad
So much has changed

It was songs of love that
I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
And they melt the years away

All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more

 8.  We've only just begun

We've only just begaun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we've on our way
We've only just begaun

Before the rising sun we fly
So many roads to choose
We start our walking
And learn to run
And yes! We've only just begun

Sharin' horizens that are new to us
Watchin'the signs along the way
Talkin'it over just the two of us
Workin' together day to day , together

And when the evening comes we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes! We've only just begun

 9.  Rainy days and mondays

Talking to myself and feeling old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around , nothing to do but frown
Rainy days and mondays always get me down

What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothing is really wrong
Feeling like I don't belong
Walking around some kind of lonely clown
Rainy days and mondays always get me down

Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you
It's nice to know somebody loves me
Funny but it seems that it's the only to do
To run and find the one who loves me

What I feel is come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around , nothing to do but frown
Rainy days and mondays always get me down

Funny but it seems that it's the only to do
Run and find the one who loves me
