Centerpiece
(Harry Edison / Jon Hendricks)
The more I'm with you pretty baby
The more I feel my love increase
I'm building all my dreams around you
My happiness will never cease
But nothing's any good without you
Cause baby you're my centrepiece
I buy a house and garden somewhere
Along a country road a piece
A little cottage on the outskirts
Where we can really find release
But nothing's any good without you
Cause baby you're my centrepiece
Hey baby come and go
Repeat first and second verse

Harrys House-centerpiece
Heatwaves on the runway
As the wheels set down
He takes his baggage off the carousel
He takes a taxi into town
Yellow schools of taxi fishes
Jonah in a ticking whale
Caught up at the light in the fishnet windows
Of bloomingdales
Watching those high fashion girls
Skinny black models with raveen curls
Beauty parlor blondes with credit card eyes
Looking for the chic and the fancy
To buy
He opens up his suitcase
In the continental suite
And people twenty stories down
Colored currents in the street
A helicopter lands on the pan am roof
Like a dragonfly on a tomb
And business men in button downs
Press into conference rooms
Battalions of paper-minded males
Talking commodities and sales
While at home their paper wives
And paper kids
Paper the walls to keep their gut reactions hid
Yellow checkers for the kitchen
Climbing ivy for the bath
She is lost in house and gardens
Hes caught up in chief of staff
He drifts off into the memory
Of the way she looked in school
With her body oiled and shining
At the public swimming pool ...
* * *
The more Im with you, pretty baby
The more I feel my love increase
Im building all my dreams around you
Our happiness will never cease
cause nothings any good without you
Baby youre my centerpiece
Well find a house and garden somewhere
Along a country road a piece
A little cottage on the outskirts
Where we can really find release
cause nothings any good without you
Baby youre my centerpiece
* * *
...shining hair and shining skin
Shining as she reeled him in
To tell him like she did today
Just what he could do with harrys house
And harrys take home pay

Ultraviolet
Sometimes i feel like i don't know
Sometimes i feel like checkin' out
I want to get it wrong
Can't always be strong
And love it won't be long...
Oh sugar, don't you cry
Oh child, wipe the tears from your eyes
You know i need you to be strong
And the day is as dark as the night is long
Feel like trash, you make me feel clean
I'm in the black, can't see or be seen
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
(alright now)
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
You bury your treasure
Where it can't be found
But your love is like a secret
That's been passed around
There is a silence that comes to a house
Where no one can sleep
I guess it's the price of love
I know it's not cheap
(oh, come on)
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
(oh, come on)
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
Oh...ultraviolet...
Ultraviolet...
Ultraviolet...
Ultraviolet...
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
I remember
When we could sleep on stones
Now we lie together
In whispers and moans
When i was all messed up
And i had opera in my head
Your love was a light bulb
Hanging over my bed
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
(oh, come on)
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
Ultraviolet...

Not to talk to you would be a crime
Let me put my arms around you
Just wanna use up a little of your time
And I'm going...

You're eyes, they're so pretty
The clothes you wear, so fine

It Be's That Way Sometime
When your guy has got his hat, and made himself hard to find
It doesn? mean you should go crazy, it be? that way sometime
Find yourself another love who will treat you good and kind
Return that love he gives to you, it also be? that way sometime
Baby, yes it does
Baby, yes it does
Baby, yes it does

When you think you?e found a love and you have peace of mind somebody else

House of fire (Lyrics)
House of fire
House of fire, yeah
Let's build a house of fire, baby
Not one of wood or stone
Walk thru my door of desire, baby
Come on in and make it your home
Don't need a window to watch you, baby
Don't need no roof overhead
Don't need no key to unlock ya, baby
I'll use my lovin'instead
I won't tire
Take me higher
Building a house of fire, baby
Buildin'it with our love
We are buildin'a house of fire every time we touch
House of fire
House of fire
We ain't gotta pay rent now, baby
No landlord to throw us out
I want to play in your garden, baby
When you want it give me a shout
I won't tire
Take me higher
Building a house of fire, baby
Buildin'it with our love
We are building a house of fire every time we touch
We are building this house together, baby
Standing on solid ground
We are building a house of fire
That you can't tear down
Brick by brick the flames get higher
Build it strong with our desire
Building a house of fire, baby
Building it with our love
We are building a house of fire every time we touch
We are building this house together, baby
Standing on solid ground
We are building a house of fire
That you can't tear down
Building a house of fire, baby
Building it with our love
We are building a house of fire every time we touch

Four Sticks
Oh, baby, its cryin time,
Oh, baby, I got to fly.
Got to try to find a way,
Got to try to get away,
cause you know I gotta get away from you, babe.
Oh, baby, the rivers red,
Oh, baby, in my head.
Theres a funny feelin goin on,
I dont think I can hold out long.
*and when the owls cry in the night,
Oh, baby, baby, when the pines begin to cry,
Baby, baby, baby, how do you feel?
If the river runs dry, baby,
How do you feel?
Craze, baby, the rainbows end,
Mmm, baby, its just a den
For those who hide,
Who hide their love to depths of life
And ruin dreams that we all knew so, babe.

Whenever there is darkness, g you brighten up my day
I thank the lord for you because you understand my ways, oh

If You And I Could Be As Two
(Van Morrison)
Spoken: Was on a Sunday
And the autumn leaves were on the ground
I kicked my heart
When I saw you standing there in your dress of blue
The storm was over, my ship sailed through
Sings:
What is this feeling, a-what can I do?
If you an' I, could be relieved
To walk and talk and be deceived
I'd give my all and all
And more I would do, oh yeah
If darlin', only you and I could be as two
If we could dream and by our dreams
Sew this wicked world up at the seams
I'd give my life and more I would do
If darlin', only you and I could be as two
Spoken:
And baby, do you remember
All the good times we had together?
A-walkin' through the park
A-baby then, then we could sing
Give ya' all my money
Ev'rything in the world that I had
You told me, That don't mean a thing
If still in darkness we could run
Together, there in that mornin' sun
I'd give my all, my life and ev'rything to you
Whoa-yeah
If darlin', only you and I could be as two
Could be as two
Could be as two
FADES-
Could be as two
Baby

Cry Baby
Cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,
Honey, welcome back home.
I know she told you,
Honey i know she told you that she loved you
Much more than i did,
But all i know is that she left you,
And you swear that you just don't know why,
But you know, honey i'll always,
I'll always be around if you ever want me
Come on and cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,
Oh honey, welcome back home.
Don't you know, honey,
Ain't nobody ever gonna love you
The way i try to do ?
Who'll take all your pain,
Honey, your heartache, too ?
And if you need me, you know
That i'll always be around if you ever want me
Come on and cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,
Oh daddy, like you always saying to do.
And when you walk around the world, babe,
You said you'd try to look for the end of the road,
You might find out later that the road'll end in detroit,
Honey, the road'll even end in kathmandu.
You can go all around the world
Trying to find something to do with your life, baby,
When you only gotta do one thing well,
You only gotta do one thing well to make it in this world, babe.
You got a woman waiting for you there,
All you ever gotta do is be a good man one time to one woman
And that'll be the end of the road, babe,
I know you got more tears to share, babe,
So come on, come on, come on, come on, come on,
And cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby.
And if you ever feel a little lonely, dear,
I want you to come on, come on to your mama now,
And if you ever want a little love of a woman
Come on and baby baby baby babe babe baby now
Cry baby yeah.

Stay With Me
(pagowoy/weiss)
Where did you go
When things went wrong, baby,
And who did you run to,
To find a shoulder
To lay your head upon.
Baby, wasnt I there,
Didnt I take good care of you.
Oh no, I cant believe you leaving me...
Stay with me, baby,
Stay with me, baby...
Wont you stay with me, baby,
I cant go on...
Who did you touch
When you need tenderness.
I gave so much
And in return I found happiness.
Baby, what did I do
Maybe I was too good, too good for you.
No, no, I cant believe you leaving me.
Stay with me, baby,
Stay with me, baby.
Wont you stay with me, baby,
I cant go on.
Remember,
You said youre always gonna need me,
Remember,
You said youd never, ever leave me,
Remember, remember, Im asking you, begging you.
Stay with me, baby,
Stay with me, baby...
Wont you stay with me, baby,
I cant go on, cant go on...
Stay with me, baby,
Stay with me, stay with me, baby.
Wont you stay with me, baby,

Baby I Love You
[Verse 1]
Boy I never knew I could feel
The way I felt, when I felt
They way you were feelin me baby
I'm so out of control
Everytime you look my way
I realize more and more
How much I adore those pretty eyes of yours
I'm helpless baby
What I want to know is
Are you willing to try
Can you love me for a lifetime
Or just one night ohh
[Chorus]
Baby I love you
Love You
Baby I need you
Need You
I gotta have you
I gotta have you baby
Can't be without you
Be without you
Baby I love you
Yea
Baby I need you
Need You
I gotta have you
I gotta have you baby
Can't be without you
[Verse 2]
Blessed and Cursed on the same day
The day that I first felt the power of you
Inside of me
Such a strong feeling
There comes a time in everyones life
When you know that everyone around you knows
That everything has changed, your not the same
Its a new day
Oh what I wanna know is
Are you willing to try
Try to be more meaning to this than what meets the eye
[Chorus]
Ohh I love the way you kiss me
Baby please
Im about to loose my mind
Ohh talk to me
cuz Im beggin for you and Im down on my knees
Baby I know your the one that I need
...Baby I love you...
...You know that I need you...
...Gotta have you...
...Can't be without you...
...Baby I love you...
...You know I need you...
...Gotta have you...
...Can't be without you..

Sometimes I feel like I don't know
Sometimes I feel like checking out.
I wanna get it wrong
Can't always be strong
And love, it won't be long.
Oh, sugar, don't you cry.
Oh, child, wipe the tears from your eyes.
You know I need you to be strong
And the day it is dark, as the night is long.
Feel like trash, you make me feel clean.
I'm in the black, can't see or be seen.

Alright now, baby, baby, baby, light my way.
You bury your treasure where it can't be found
But your love is a secret that's been passed around.
There is a silence that comes to a house
Where no-one can sleep.
I guess it's the price of love; I know it's not cheap.

Honey you make me feel like you care a lot
But i-i-i-i-i, I love you too much
Baby you make me feel like you need me a lot
But i-i-i-i-i, I love you too much
When you say those words of love to me

But when the sunshine comes and you must leave
It only leaves me with my own foolish pride
Baby you make me feel like you care a lot
But i-i-i-i-i, honey, I love you too much
Baby you make me feel like you care a lot
But i-i-i-i-i, honey, I love you too much
Oh, when you say those words of love to me

But if by break of day you never can stay
There must be something in our love that I dont know about that you
Feel youve got to hide
Baby, baby, you make me feel like you care a lot
But i-i-i-i-i, honey, I love you too much

Dont leave my heart a broken glass baby, oh oh
Sometimes I feel like I love you

Yeah, I love you
You make me feel like you care a lot
