Please Don't Die
Just A Thing Of Love
A Little Longer Now
Things I Don't Forget
She's All Mine
I Can See Your Smile
Million Dollars and A Cadillac


Please Don't Die

Like Romeo said to Juliet
Oh baby oh baby won't
you kiss me please
Well, she said yes but her
dad said no
And so they died
Like Abelard said to
Heloise
Oh baby oh baby won't
you kiss me please
Well she said yes but her
dad said no
And so they died
Well it seems like all good
love has to die in its
prime
And before that happens
dear
I'll just stand here and say
good-bye
And please don't die
Please don't die
Like Joan of Arc said to
the Dauphin
Oh baby oh baby won't
you kiss me please
Well he said yes but the
French said no
And so they died.

Just A Thing Of Love

Some words are big and
some words are small
And some words hardly
get used at all
But sometimes I hear a
word and it starts reapeating
Again and again and
again in my mind
Like just last night when
you looked in my eyes, &
cried
Baby baby baby oh baby
please hold me
Sugar sugar sugar won't
you kiss me please
Honey honey honey oh I
need you so badly
Love love love has
brought me to my knees
Oh no oh no no no no
Well a kiss can be sweet
and a kiss can be soft
Or a kiss can be hot an
knock off your socks
And there are kisses that
you'll never regret
And submarine races
you'll never forget
Like just last night when
you looked in my eyes
and cried...
You put some Pepper in
your cool and salt in your
bop
and only the cream will
rise to the top
I could spend my life working,
spend my life slaving
But only one thing really
blows my top
It's just a thing of love that
makes the world go
round
It's just a thing of love that
knowcks me to the ground
Honey honey honey sure
is sweet.

A Little Longer Now

I could stand right on this
spot watch the sun rise
and watch it set
And see the moon go up
and see the moon go down
And I could watch the
seasons turn watch the
snow turn into grass
And see the grass
beneath the sun as it
starts to burn
And I could stand to wait
a little while
I could stand to wait a little
longer now
I could stand to wait a little
longer
But it wouldn't be long enough
Cause I've seen you here
and I've held you here
Seen you leave and disappear
And still I feel your warm
warm breath upon my ear
And I could walk across
this room and I could
walk across my world
And I could walk in circles
all my life
And I'd get no closer, I'd
get no closer
Cause there's nothing
here that I can do
But sit right here and
think of you tonight
And so I'll see this night
through to a day without
a trace of you
With nothing in this
empty room to take the
place of you
And as that last star fades
into this day like any
other day
I'll live that day and no
one not a soul will ever
know that I could...

She's All Mine

Well it could have been
an earthquake the way
my knees began to shake
Or maybe a hurricane,
the way my head took to
spinning round and round
Baby baby when I took a
look, don't you know I got
all shook
Maybe could have been a
nuclear explosion the way
you see right through to
my heart
or maybe just a love
transfusion the way my
heart started pounding
harder and harder
Baby baby when I took a
look, don't you know I got
all shook thinking,
She's all mine she's all mine
and I'm all hers and that's
the way its gonna be forever
and ever
Ain't even gonna change
no no not never never oh
never
Oh shalalalalalashalalala
what can I say?
Maybe could have been
the ig bang the way this
love came out of nothing
Or could have been a
tidal the way I broke into
a cold cold sweat.

I Can See Your Smile

No matter where I go, no
matter who I'm with
I can't seem to get my
mind off you, no matter
what I try and do
And when I close my eyes
or look at nighttime skies
Don't you know I see you
there, turn around and
you're everywhere
And I, I can see your smile
I said I can see your smile
And if I ever left this city
and if I ever left this country
I'd see you in a million
places, my heart would
pound and my pulse
would race and
When you call me on the
phone, call me when I'm
all alone
Though I'd rather have
you here with me, I feel
so good you know I can't
believe that...
I can see your smile when
I'm dreaming and I can
see your smile in the
books I'm reading in a
line of poetry or the patterns
in my tea in the lifeline
running along my
hand and I can see
your smile when the sun
is rising in a full harvest
moon in a night in June
and I can see your smile
till the day I die cause its
the only thing I have that's
keeping me alive.

A Million Dollars And A Cadillac

There's something I've got
to tell you
Before I forget to tell you
But I don't think I'll forget
Because it's never far from
my mind
I love you always thinking
just of you
And if I had a million dollars
Or maybe a cadillac
Or a house on the French Riviera
Don't you know I'd give
them back cause
I love you always thinking
just of you
All I think of all I think of
all I think of
Is you right now right here
right now with me
Baby it's so plain why
can't you see
That all this time we've spent apart
Has been wasted if we
don't join our hearts and
become one
So baby why don't you just
Sit right back and listen to what
I have to say and whatever
happens
Please oh please oh
please don't forget
I love you always thinking
just of you
Ain't no other way that
things can be
I need you more and
more each day I try to
open up that door that lets
my love into your heart oh
baby it's getting cold.
