How Long Is Too Long Wasn't Long Enough

[ekim]

When you see a guy reach for stars in the sky
You can bet that he's doing it for some doll.
When you spot a John waiting out in the rain
Chances are he's insane as only a John can be for a Jane.
When you meet a gent paying all kinds of rent
For a flat that could flatten the Taj Mahal.
Call it sad, call it funny.
But it's better than even money
That the guy's only doing it for some doll.

[Robbie]

(He says)
And I would do anything for love
I'd run right into hell and back
I would do anything for love
I'd never lie to you and that's a fact

[ekim]

Love is a many splendoured thing
It's the April rose that only grows in the early Spring.
Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living
The golden crown that makes a man a king.
Once on a high and windy hill, In the morning mist
Two lovers kissed and the world stood still,
Then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to sing
Yes, true love's a many splendoured thing.

[Robbie]

March went out like a lion
Awakin' up the water in the bay;
Then April cried and stepped aside,
And along came pretty little May!
May was full of promises
But she didn't keep 'em quickly enough for some
And the crowd of doubtin' Thomases
Was predictin' that the summer'd never come
June is a love song, sweetly song
June is bustin' out all over!

(Strictly tonight :-))

[ekim]

Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin'
So hush, little baby, don't you cry.

[Robbie]

My baby don't care for shows
My baby don't care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for cars and races
My baby don't care for high-tone places

[ekim]

I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice

My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry?
Father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry
Maybe just a half a drink more - Put some records on while I pour.

[Robbie]

My baby takes the morning train
He works from nine to five and then
He takes another home again
To find me waitin' for him

He takes me to a movie or to a restaurant
To go slow dancing, anything I want
Only when he's with me, I catch light
Only when he gives me, makes me feel alright

[ekim]

When that midnight choochoo leaves for Alabam',
I'll be right there,
I've got my fare!
When I see that rusty-haired conductor man,
I'm gonna grab by the collar
And I'll holler,
"Alabam'! Alabam'!".

That's where you stop your train
That brings me back again,
Down home where I'll remain
Where my honey lamb am!
I will be right there with bells
When that old conductor yells,
"All aboard, all aboard, all aboard for Alabam!".

[Robbie]

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

[ekim]

Come fly with me, we'll fly, we'll fly away
If you can use some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come on fly with me, we'll fly, we'll fly away.

Come fly with me, will float down to Peru
In llama-land there's a one-man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
Come on fly with me, we'll float down in the blue.

Once I get you up there
Where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide
Starry-eyed
Once I get you up there
I'll be holding you so near
You might hear
All the angels cheer because we're together.

[Robbie]

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly hoo

[ekim]

There were bells on the hill
But I never heard them ringing,
No, I never heard them at all
Till there was you.

There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No, I never saw them at all
Till there was you.

[Robbie]

I get the same old dreams same time every night
Fall to the ground and I wake up
So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head
Thoughts fly back to the breakup
These four wall are closing in
Look at the fix you put me in
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Since you been gone

[ekim]

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me.

Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me.

[Nearly Sane]

Here I've just lost a lifetime
I have just lost my mind
So Mr World look after that girl
The one that I just left behind at 24 Sycamore
Where did my baby go?
Who's gonna mend my rainbow?
Who's gonna separate all the swimming around

[ekim]

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

[Nearly Sane]

And I know that I'm still fucked up
But aren't we all, my love?
Darling, our scars make us who we are, are
So when the winds are howling strong
And you think you can't go on, hold tight, sweetheart

You'll find a rainbow, rainbow, baby
Trust me, I know life is scary
But just put those colors on, girl
Come and play along with me tonight
You gotta learn to let go, put the past behind you

[Robbie]

Here we are again
Fading light
Those gleaming eyes and freckled smile light up the night
Here we are alone
My lips on yours
The taste of candy and salt drives me for more
Tied to my urn with your ball-point pen
Say you love me again and again
There will never be an end
To this love my dear friend

You, colour me
You colour my soul
Paint me red in places once filled with gold
You, colour me
You colour my soul

[ekim]

There's nothing you can make that can't me made
No one you can save that can't be saved
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time
It's easy.

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need.

[Robbie]

I make it half past six you come at seven
Always try to keep me hanging round
You little spoilt thing girl you kept me waiting
Never contemplating my point of view
This comes as no surprise
I'm a fool for I believed your lies
But now I've seen through your disguise
Who needs well I don't need who needs you?

Oh muchachos
I like it I like it
Well I don't need you

[Udayana]

Ah but you got away, didn't you babe
You just turned your back on the crowd
You got away, I never once heard you say
I need you, I don't need you
I need you, I don't need you
And all of that jiving around

[ekim]

Go on now, go. Walk out the door.
Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh, no, not I!
I will survive.
Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive.
I've got all my life to live.
I've got all my love to give.
And I'll survive,
I will survive.

[Robbie]

We've already said "Goodbye"
Since you gotta go, oh you'd better
Go now go now, go now (Go now)
Before you see me cry?
I don't want you to tell me just what you intend to do now
'Cause how many times do I have to tell you darlin', darlin'
I'm still in love with you now
Whoa oh oh oh

[Nearly Sane]

Darlin'
I'm feeling pretty lonesome
I'd call you on the phone some
but I don't have a dime
darlin' you're so far behind me
tomorrow's gonna find me
further down the line.
