Альбом Olivia Newton-John

(Farrar)

There was a time when I was in a hurry as you are
I was like you
There was a day when I just had to tell my point of view
I was like you
Now I don't mean to make you frown
No, I just want you to slow down

Have you never been mellow?
Have you never tried to find a comfort from inside you?
Have you never been happy just to hear your song?
Have you never let someone else be strong?

Running around as you do with your head up in the clouds
I was like you
Never had time to lay back, kick your shoes off, close your eyes
I was like you
Now you're not hard to understand
You need someone to hold your hand

Have you never been mellow?
Have you never tried to find a comfort from inside you?
Have you never been happy just to hear your song?
Have you never let someone else be strong?

(Jans)

If you could see me now
The one who said that she'd rather roam
The one who said she'd rather be alone
If you could only see me now

If I could hold you now
Just for a moment if I could make you mine
Just for a while turn back the hands of time
If I could only hold you now

I've been too long in the wind
Too long in the rain
Taking any comfort that I can
Looking back and a-longing for the freedom of my chains
Lying in your loving arms again

If you could hear me now
Singing somewhere through a lonely night
Dreaming of the arms that held me tight
If you could only hear me now

I've been too long in the wind
Too long in the rain
Taking any comfort that I can
Looking back and a-longing for the freedom of my chains
Lying in your loving arms again
I wanna be lying in your loving arms again

(Nelson)

The river keeps on rolling
My lifestream keeps on flowing
Only you know what you're doing to my soul
My dreams call on tomorrow
My love knows all my sorrow
Only you know what you're doing to my soul

Stay with me and we'll find a way
I'll be your night if you'll be my day
Through the dawn and beyond the sky
We can fly, you and I
Only you know what you're doing to my soul

The river keeps on rolling
My lifestream keeps on flowing
Only you know what you're doing to my soul
Only you know what you're doing to my soul

(John Denver)

It's five o'clock this morning and the sun is on the rise
There's frosting on the window pane and sorrow in your eyes
The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone
You slowly turn away from me and tears begin to come

And it's
Goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you
Goodbye again, 'cause if you didn't know
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
Why do we always fight when I have to go?

It seems a shame to leave you now, the days are soft and warm
I long to lay me down again and hold you in my arms
I long to kiss the tears away and give you back your smile
But other voices beckon me and for a little while

It's
Goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you
Goodbye again, 'cause if you didn't know
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
Why do we always fight when I have to go?

I have to go and see some friends of mine, and some that I don't know
And some who aren't familiar with my name
It's something that's inside of me, not hard to understand
It's anyone who will listen to me sing

But if your arms are empty now, then who am I to blame
You think if I was always here our love would be the same
But as it is, the time we have is worth the time alone
And lying by your side, the greatest peace I've ever known

But it's
Goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you
Goodbye again, 'cause if you didn't know
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
Why do we always fight when I have to go?

(Lordan)

Yesterday the rains came down, there was darkness all around
They told me you had gone to find a new life
But you left no word of where you'd gone, I fell right to the ground
And I needed all the help I could get to set me on my feet again

Water under the bridge carried my pain away from me
He was there trying to love and comfort me
Water under the bridge, I'm amazed at the change in me
I'm growing up, getting stronger constantly

I watched the ever-flowing stream as it washed away my dream
I felt like diving in and taking a ride
But the stranger took me by the hand and held me by his side
When I needed all the help I could get to set me on my feet again

Water under the bridge carried my pain away from me
He was there trying to love and comfort me
Water under the bridge, I'm amazed at the change in me
I'm growing up, getting stronger constantly

When I remember how I cried and how I nearly died
All for a man who had gone to find a new life
Now I can laugh, my friend's so fine he never seemed to mind
When I needed all the help I could get to set me on my feet again

Water under the bridge carried my pain away from me
He was there trying to love and comfort me
Water under the bridge, I'm amazed at the change in me
I'm growing up, getting stronger constantly
I'm growing up, getting stronger constantly, yeah

(Nichtern)

I never did sing you a love song
I only sang phrases in time
I never did write you a sonnet
I just laid my cards down in rhymes
Up and down the river, so many boats to ride
Yet precious few deliver the goods that we need to survive

I never spoke falsely or crossly
I never put tears in your eyes
And you never shattered my lonely heart
You never deceived me with lies
And yet somehow I seem to recall I stood in my sleep for a while
Dreaming of a river man exchanging my life for a smile

(Marvin/Farrar)

Bringing it on yourself
Bringing it on yourself
All the promises you made to me
You know can never be

Shouldn't have been so nice
Shouldn't have been so nice
Oh, you should've known my love would grow
Now I just can't let go
Now I just can't let go

It's so easy to say too much
Castles in the sand that wash away
It's so easy to pledge yourself
When you cannot pay
It's so easy to tell yourself
Things'll work out fine
It's so easy to break a heart
Like you're breaking mine

Nobody else to blame
Nobody else to blame
Did you ever stop to count the cost
Of those who've loved and lost?
Living without your love
Living without your love
I'll just have to learn to face the fact
That I can't bring you back
That I can't bring you back

It's so easy to say too much
Castles in the sand that wash away
It's so easy to pledge yourself
When you cannot pay
It's so easy to tell yourself
Things'll work out fine
It's so easy to break a heart
Like you're breaking mine

It's so easy to break a heart
Like you're breaking mine

(Hammond/Hazlewood)

If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat, no books to read
Making love with you has left me peaceful, warm, and tired
What more could I ask, there's nothing left to be desired
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe, yes, to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe, yes, to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe

Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep

(Denver)

It's by far the hardest thing I've ever done
To be so in love with you and so alone

Follow me where I go
What I do and who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me up and down
All the way and all around
Take my hand and say you'll follow me

It's long been on my mind
You know it's been a long long time
I've tried to find a way that I could make you understand
The way I feel about you
And just how much I need you
To be there when I can talk to you
When there's no one else around

Follow me where I go
What I do and who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me up and down
All the way and all around
Take my hand and say you'll follow me

You see, I'd like to share my life with you
And show you things I've seen
Places that I'm going to
And places where I've been
To have you there beside me, we'll never be alone
And all the time that you're with me
Then we will be at home

Follow me where I go
What I do and who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me up and down
All the way and all around
Take my hand and say you'll follow me

(Hall)

In the early morning when I'm lying by your side
Doubts go through my mind, thoughts I try to hide
Lying there I wonder if your love for me is real
Or just another fantasy

Then I try to think about the way things used to be
Misty memories, hazy like a dream
All we did together, all the things we planned to do
There was only me and you

And in the morning I touch you
And I find you're still there
I want to tell you that I love you
Please never leave me
In the morning light I turn to look at you
And hope that you still care

When I look back on our life, the pieces fall in place
Words that went unsaid, pictures of your face
All those things we shared, yet stay together day by day
Cause our love was never far away

And in the morning I touch you
And I find you're still there
I want to tell you that I love you
Please never leave me
In the morning light I turn to look at you
And hope that you still care

(Welch/Rostill)

In the corner of the bar there stands a jukebox
With the best of country music, old and new
You can hear your five selections for a quarter
And somebody else's songs when yours are through

I got good Kentucky whiskey on the counter
And my friends around to help me ease the pain
'Til some button-pushing cowboy plays that love song
And here I am just missing you again

Please, Mr., please, don't play B-17
It was our song, it was his song, but it's over
Please, Mr., please, if you know what I mean
I don't ever wanna hear that song again

If I had a dime for every time I held you
Though you're far away, you've been so close to me
I could swear I'd be the richest girl in Nashville
Maybe even in the state of Tennessee

But I guess I'd better get myself together
'Cause when you left, you didn't leave too much behind
Just a note that said "I'm sorry" by your picture
And a song that's weighing heavy on my mind

Please, Mr., please, don't play B-17
It was our song, it was his song, but it's over
Please, Mr., please, if you know what I mean
I don't ever wanna hear that song again

(Peter Allen/Jeff Barry)

Maybe I hang around here
A little more than I should
We both know I got somewhere else to go
But I got something to tell you
That I never thought I would
But I believe you really ought to know

I love you
I honestly love you

You don't have to answer
I see it in your eyes
Maybe it was better left unsaid
This is pure and simple
And you should realize
That it's coming from my heart and not my head

I love you
I honestly love you

I'm not trying to make you feel uncomfortable
I'm not trying to make you anything at all
But this feeling doesn't come along everyday
And you shouldn't blow the chance
When you've got the chance to say

I love you
I honestly love you

If we both were born
In anoother place and time
This moment might be ending in a kiss
But there you are with yours
And here I am with mine
So I guess we'll just be leaving it at this

I love you
I honestly love you
I honestly love you
