Lyric - Somewhere With You

Somewhere With You
Chesney Kenny
Album: Hemingway's Whiskey


If you're going out with someone new
I'm going out with someone too
I won't feel sorry for me, I'm getting drunk
But I'd much rather be somewhere with you

Laughing loud on a carnival ride, yeah
Driving around on a Saturday night
You made fun of me for singing my song
Got a hotel room just to turn you on

You said pick me up at three a.m.
You're fighting with your mom again
And I'd go, I'd go, I'd go somewhere with you

I won't sit outside your house
And wait for the lights to go out
Call up an ex to rescue me, climb in their bed
When I'd much rather sleep somewhere with you

Like we did on the beach last summer
When the rain came down and we took cover
Down in your car, out by the pier
You laid me down, whispered in my ear

I hate my life, hold on to me
Ah, if you ever decide to leave
Then I'll go, I'll go, I'll go

I can go out every night of the week
Can go home with anybody I meet
But it's just a temporary high 'cause when I close my eyes
I'm somewhere with you, somewhere with you

If you see me out on the town
And it looks like I'm burning it down
You won't ask and I won't say
But in my heart I'm always somewhere with you

Laughing loud on a carnival ride, yeah
Driving around on a Saturday night
You made fun of me for singing my song
Got a hotel room just to turn you on

You said pick me up at three a.m.
You're fighting with your mom again
And I'd go, I'd go, I'd go

I can go out every night of the week
Can go home with anybody I meet
But it's just a temporary high 'cause when I close my eyes
I'm somewhere with you, somewhere with you

Somewhere with you
I'm somewhere with you
I'm somewhere with you
Somewhere with you
Somewhere with you

Lyric - Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word (Elton John, 1976)

Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word
from album Blue Moves
Music: Elton John
Lyric: Bernie Taupin
Piano and vocals: Elton John
Bass: Kenny Passarelli
Electric piano: James Newton Howard
Vibes: Ray Cooper
Accordion: Carl Fortina
MCA Records, November 1st, 1976





What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you're not there

What do I do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it's all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word

What do I do to make you love me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do
What have I got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word

Lyric - Smile (Charlie Chaplin, 1936)

Composer: Charlie Chaplin, 1936
Writer: John Turner & Geoffrey Parsons



Smile though your heart is aching,
Smile even though it's breaking,
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by if you
Smile through your fear and sorrow,
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you.

Light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness,
Although a tear may be ever so near,
That's the time you must keep on trying,
Smile
What's the use of crying,
You'll find that life is still worthwhile,
If you just smile.

Lyric - September Morn (Neil Diamond, 1979)

September Morn
Neil Diamond
1979


Stay, and let me look at you
Its been so long, I hardly knew you
Standing in the door
Stay with me a while
I only want to talk to you
We've traveled halfway round the world
To find ourselves again

[REFRAIN]
September morn
We danced until the night became a brand new day
Two lovers playing scenes from some romantic play
September morning still can make me feel this way

Look at what you've done
Why, you've become a grown-up girl
I still can hear you cryin
In the corner of your room
And look how far we've come
So far from where we used to be
But not so far that we've forgotten
How it was before

[REFRAIN]

Lyric - Sad Eyes (Robert John, 1979)

Sad Eyes
Written by Robert John
EMI Records, April 1979


Looks like it's over
You knew I couldn't stay
She's comin' home today
We had a good thing
I'll miss your sweet love
Why must you look at me that way?
It's over

[CHORUS]
Sad eyes, turn the other way
I don't wanna see you cry
Sad eyes, you knew there'd come a day
When we would have to say goodbye

Try to remember the magic that we shared
In time your broken heart will mend
I never used you
You knew I really cared
I hate to see it have to end
But it's over

[CHORUS]

Lyric - San Francisco (Scott McKenzie, 1967)

San Francisco (Flowers In Your Hair)
Written by John Phillips
Vocal by Scott McKenzie
Ode Records, June 1967


If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you're going to San Francisco
You're gonna meet some gentle people there

For those who come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair

All across the nation
Such a strange vibration
People in motion
There's a whole generation
With a new explanation
People in motion
People in motion

For those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there

If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there

Lyric - Spirits Having Flown (Bee Gees, 1979)

Spirits (Having Flown)
Bee Gees
RSO, February 1979


I never fell in love so easily.
Where the four winds blow I carry on.
I'd like to take you where my spirit flies:
Through the empty skies.
We go alone.
Never before having flown.

Faster than lightning is this heart of mine.
In the face of time I carry on.
I'd like to take you where my rainbow ends.
Be my lover friend.
We go alone.
Never before having flown.

[Chorus]
I am your hurricane, your fire in the sun.
How long must I live in the air?
You are my paradise, my angel on the run.
How long must I wait?
It's the dawn of the feeling that starts
From the moment you're there.

[Bridge]
You'll never know what you have done for me.
You've broken all those rules I live upon.
And I'd like to take you to my Shangri-La,
Neither here nor far away from home,
Never before having flown.

[Chorus]

I'd like to take you where my spirit flies,
Through the empty skies.
We go alone.
Never before having flown.
