Cool , Cool, Baby

I get so hot in the midnight hour
stays that way all day
uh baby keep away
'cause I have no restraint

I like to think I can light your fuse
and I don't run away
don't wait until tomorrow
cool me today

COOL COOL BABY
can I take you home
COOL,COOL BABY
don't wanna be alone no more
no more

every time I feel your touch
I thrill to the bone
no one can do it so good
won't you take me home

sometimes I can't hold back
in a cloud of steam
but every time I let go
it's all just a dream

COOL COOL BABY
can I take you home
COOL,COOL BABY
don't wanna be alone no more
no more

Our last goodbye

we both know it's borrowed time
that you gotta move on
our secret life dies a secret death
and I'm the only one who cares

of all the words so hard to say
the hardest is goodbye
smiling on your face

while your heart breaks down inside
of all the things I'll hate to do
I'll have to shake your hand
like some loose aquaintance
while your lover stands around
and I know it's coming
OUR LAST GOODBYE

we have always known
it would be this way
now I find I can't let go
but there is no other way

Someday

SOMEDAY,
you will be mine,
make me feel fine,
I'm biding my time

SOMEDAY
I'll get to you
carry you to
clear skies of blue

SOMEDAY, I'M GONNA FIND
SOMEWAY, SOME KINDA LINE
SOMEHOW, I'M GONNA MAKE YOU MINE

SOMEDAY
we will know better
deliver the letters
tell me the truth

SOMEDAY
you'll change your mind
you'll realize, there's nothing to hide

SOMEDAY, I'M GONNA FIND
SOMEWAY, SOME KINDA LINE
SOMEHOW, I'M GONNA MAKE YOU MINE

Song from your heart

this is a universal call for peace
we wonder will it ever happen
what can we do, when darkness is around
JUST SING A SONG FROM YOUR HEART
JUST SING A SONG FROM YOUR HEART

this is a universal call for love
it looks like everybody needs some
there's not enough, but we can still be happy
JUST SING A SONG FROM YOUR HEART
JUST SING A SONG FROM YOUR HEART

this is a universal call for freedom
please break the chains around my heart
and let the bird, that's always lived in cages
JUST SING A SONG FROM YOUR HEART
JUST SING A SONG FROM YOUR HEART

We let it slip away

our love was good,
but it's like icecream in the sun
it melts away

and now I wish
we'd been more careful
I wish you'd stay

hold me tight,
life's too short for cryin'
it's not right
why did WE LET IT SLIP AWAY?
OO OO WE LET IT SLIP AWAY

our love was good,
but it's so hard to keep on tryin'
every day

but now we find,
we've gotta face up to the day
anyway

turn off the lights,
now I can see your face
and I've just seen,
what could have made me happy
WE LET IT SLIP AWAY?
OO OO WE LET IT SLIP AWAY
