Alice

Sally called when she got the word,
And she said: "I suppose you've heard -
About Alice".
When I rushed to the window,
And I looked outside,
And I could hardly believe my eyes -
As a big limousine rolled up
Into Alice's drive...

Oh, I don't know why she's leaving,
Or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons,
But I just don't want to know,
'Cos for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice.
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice...

We grew up together,
Two kids in the park,
We carved our initials,
Deep in the bark,
Me and Alice.
Now she walks through the door,
With her head held high,
Just for a moment, I caught her eye,
As a big limousine pulled slowly
Out of Alice's drive.

Oh, I don't know why she's leaving,
Or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons,
But I just don't want to know,
'Cos for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice.
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice...

And Sally called back and asked how I felt,
And she said: "I know how to help -
Get over Alice".
She said: "Now Alice is gone,
But I'm still here,
You know I've been waiting
For twenty-four years..."
And a big limousine dissapeared...

I don't know why she's leaving,
Or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons,
But I just don't want to know,
'Cos for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice.
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...

Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...

All Alone

(C. Norman / P. Spencer)
When evening is drawing nigh
And the moon dances in the sky
And you've nothing to believe in
At all

When your room's full of emtiness
Just the memory of her caress
And you've nothing to believe in
At all

When you're all alone
When you're on your own
And you've always known
You were all alone

When you lie in your lonely room
Warm traces of her perfume
No reason for your being
At all

And when you wake into another day
And you remember she's gone away
No reason for your being
At all

When you're all alone
When you're on your own
And you've always known
You were all alone

All My Life

You; you are my life,
you are my only possession
and I will love you all my life
Years, years ago,
you were my only obsession
and I have loved you all my life
you flew to me like a bird on the wing
When, when I was down
you stayed with me through the bad times
for that I will love you all my life
We can say we are free
we don't need any more,
we don't need any more
Now there is no more,
nothing less than the good times
and I will be with you all my life
Moments of joy with some moments of silence
And I'll give you guidance all my life
We can say we are free
We don't need any more,
We don't need any more
You, you are my life,
you are my only possession
And I will love you all my life

All She Ever Really Wanted

I'd have given her the mountains,
every star up in the sky,
any little thing she wanted I would do.
But the sad and lonely truth is that I never stood a
chance,
'cause all she ever wanted was you.
You don't listen to her problems,
you just think about yourself,
heaven knows you've made her cry a time or two.
I would gladly dry those teardrops,
make her smile forever more,
all she ever wanted was you.
Ain't love a funny thing,never know what'll make a heart
sing.
Nothin I could say, nothin I could do,
all she ever really wanted was you,
all she ever really wanted was you.
Well,I know I ought to give up,
fall in love with someone else,
'stead I hold on to this dream that won't come true.
And I'm always gonna wonder, till the very day I die,
why all she ever wanted was you.

Always The Last To Know

So youre in love with someone else
Someone who burns within your soul
And it looks like Im the last to know
I hear youve never felt so alive
So much desire beyond control
And as usual I am the last to know

The last to know how youre feeling
The last to know where you are
The last to know if youre happy now
Or if hes treating you like I treated you
Or if hes cruel Ill be the last to know

We spent summers up beyond the bay
And you said these are such perfect days
That if the bomb drops baby, I want to be the last to
know
But now youre living up behind the hill
And though we share the same city and feel the same sun
When your winter comes
Ill be the last to know

Always the last to know how youre feeling
The last to know where you are
The last to know if youre happy now
Or if hes pleading with you like I pleaded with you
If you go dont let me be the last to know
Dont let me be the last
To know

Creations gone crazy, the tvs gone mad
Now youre the only sane thing that I have

The last to know how youre feeling
The last to know where you are
The last to know if youre happy now
Or if hes cheating on you like I cheated on you
And you were the last to know

And The Night Stood Still

Do you remember on the night that we first met
The moment I looked in your eyes I never will forget
And I remember oh the time that we kissed
Remember thinking to myself could it really be like
this

And we danced beneath a midnight moon
And I took one lock
One look at you
And I fell in love before I knew
And the night stood still
And we moved so sweet
So sweet and slow
To the rhythm of the radio
And then your arms reached out and held me close
And the night stood still

I will remember the song that they were playing then
And if I close my eyes I answer
We're right back there again
Do you remember oh the way it used to be
We were two hearts on the run
So young as wild as free

CHORUS

The night stood still
We danced
Danced
We fell in love

Do you remember oh the way it used to be...

Angelina

Angelina's going out tonight
Like a dream clear out of sight
When she returns, we'll be as one together
Like a diamond in a world of stone
She's like the wings, she rides all alone
She'll catch the sun, and make it shine forever

But I don't wanna see her crying
And I don't wanna see her fate
Cause you know I love that girl
You know I love that girl

Angelina with her eyes so blue
I can't resist, she gets through to you
The silent talking in a way that burns through your
heart
A cold, grey day never appears
Your body's warmed, but innocent tears
When Angelina gives you a friendly start

But I don't wanna see her crying
And I don't wanna see her fate
Cause you know I love that girl
You know I love that girl

But I don't wanna see her crying
And I don't wanna see her fate
Cause you know I love that girl
You know I love that girl

Angelina's going out tonight
Angelina's going out tonight
Angelina's going out tonight
Tonight...

Arms Of Mary

The lights shine down the valley,
The wind blows up the alley.
Oh, and how I wish I was,
Lying in the arms of Mary.

She took the pains of boyhood,
And turned them into fell good.
Oh, and how I wish was,
Lying in the arms of Mary.

Mary was the girl who taught me,
All I had to know,
She put me right on my first mistake.
Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned,
All she had to show,
She really gave all a boy could take.

So now when I get lonely,
Still looking for the one and only.
That's when I wish I was,
Lying in the arms of Mary.

Mary was the girl who taught me,
All I had to know.
She put me right on my first mistake
Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned
All she had to show,
She really gave all a boy could take.

The lights shine down the valley,
The wind blows up the alley,
Oh, and how wish I was.
Lying in the arms of Mary.

Lying in the arms of Mary,
Lying in the arms of Mary.
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Away In A Manger

Away in a manger no crib for a bed
The little lord Jesus lay down his sweet head
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay
Little lord Jesus asleep in the hay

The cattle are a-lowing the baby he awakes
But the little lord Jesus no crying he makes
I love you ohhh Jesus look down from the sky
And stay by my side until morning is nigh

Be near me Lord Jesus I asked you to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray
Bless all of the children in your tender care
And keep us all together to live with you there

Babe It's Up To You

(G. Macari / R. Ferris)
Too many times I count the cost
Of the games that I played
And the love that I lost forever

So many ways a heart can lose
If you ain't got the love
That you can use together

You can love me tonight
While the feeling is right
Let me spend just one night with you
I could hold you so tight
If you say it's alright
And we'll love 'til the lights shine trough
Babe, it's up to you
Babe, it's up to you

You can love me tonight
While the feeling is right
Let me spend just one night with you
I could hold you so tight
If you say it's alright
And we'll love 'til the lights shine trough

So many times we tried to hide
All the broken hearts
And the tears we cried together

We had it all but love was lost
When you walked away
And I count the cost forever

With the tears in my eyes
And my heart how it cries
Let me spend just one night with you
Now I'm down on my knees
And I'm begging you please
Let me spend just one night with you

Babe, it's up to you
Babe, it's up to you
