“You’ve got a friend”.
You just call out my name, and you know wherever I am
I’ll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
all you got to do is call
and I’ll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah,
you’ve got a friend.
So far away.
One more song about moving along the highway
Can’t say much of anything that’s new
If I could only work this life out my way
I’d rather spend it being close to you
But you’re so far away.
It’s too late.
And it’s too late baby, now it’s too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died
and I can’t hide it
And I just can’t fake it.
“You light up my life”.
You brought your sweet understanding
Like sun rays in my hazy skies
If you hadn’t opened up my eyes
Love would have passed me by, right on by.
“Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow”.
I’d like to know that your love,
Is love I can be sure of,
So tell me now and I won’t ask again,
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
“Nightingale”.
He was strong, but he was taken
By the thought of his success
Those spotlights shadows
How they lured him and took him like all the rest
But that old dream don’t look good now
No it don’t seem quite the same.
