The Nearness Of You
Why do I just wither and forget all resistance
When you and your magic pass by
My hearts in a dither dear
When youre at a distance
But when you are near, oh my...
Its not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me,
Oh no
Its just the nearness of you
It isnt your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation,
Oh no
Its just the nearness of you
When youre in my arms
And I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams
Came true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If youll only grant me
The right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you.

Nothing Left To Complain About
I am fearing the nearness of you.
Something within me wishes to submit.
Something that you do,
Allows with me to feel a comfort...
And a peacefulness.
I am fearing the nearness of you.
Too long have I been,
Denying to friends...
A compassion with love,
Would complete me once again.
But...
I find that I am fearing,
A nearness of you.
And it is the ease of a chemistry,
I feel with you I never knew before.
And...
I am fearing this nearness of you.
A closeness totally unexpected.
And one that strips me of my defenses,
Too.
I am fearing the nearness of you.
And so afraid you know this.
By the things you say and do...
With a patience that confuses.
And you are getting close,
To breaking down 'this' wall...
To have me love you most!
I am fearing the nearness of you.
You know just what you are doing!
And...
I've never been like that.
Wanting with desire to be the one pursued.
And here we are you and I.
With me fearing the nearness of you,
So close by my side.
And yet feel upset...
That I have nothing left to complain about.
'There is nothing left for you to complain about.'
How did you know I was thinking that?
'You seem to be upset.
With me you will have no regrets.
Just let whatever happens,
Be!
A life lived will uncover the facts.'

Nearness
Suddenly there's nearness
and then it goes away.
Sometimes you wish it would leave.
Sometimes you wish it would stay.
The nearness I love
I keep in my heart.
The nearness I hate
I let depart.

Meditation
(jobim /gimbel)
In my loneliness
When youre gone and Im all by myself
And I need your caress
I just think of you
And the thought of you holding me near
Makes my loneliness soon disappear
Though youre far away
I have only to close my eyes
And you are back to stay
I just close my eyes
And the sadness that missing you brings
Soon is gone and this heart of mine sings
Yes I love you so
And that for me is all I need to know
I will wait for you
Till the stars fall from out of the sky
But what else can I do?
I will wait for you
Meditating how sweet itll be
When you come back to me
Just the memory of your little smile
Makes everything worthwhile
Youre so right for me
There could never be anyone new
Could thrill me the way that you do
No, I wont forget
For though youre gone I feel your nearness yet
Oh, I will wait for you
til the stars fall from out of the sky
But what else can I do?
I will wait for you
Meditating how sweet love will be
When you come back to me

I Close My Eyes & Count To Ten
(clive westlake)
It isnt the way that you look
And it isnt the way that you talk
It isnt the things that you say or do
Make me want you so
It is nothing to do with the wine
Or the music thats flooding my mind
But never before have I been so sure
Youre the someone I dreamed I would find
Its the way you make me feel
The moment I am close to you
Its a feeling so unreal
Somehow I cant believe its true
The pounding I feel in my heart
The hoping that well never part
I cant believe this is really happening to me
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them youre still here
I close my eyes and count again
I cant believe it but youre still here
We were strangers a moment ago
With a few dreams but nothing to show
The world was a place
With a frown on its face
And tomorrow was just, I dont know
But the way you make me feel
The moment I am close to you
Makes today seem so unreal
Somehow I cant believe its true
Tomorrow will you still be here?
Tomorrow will come but I fear
That what is happening to me
Is only a dream
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them youre still here
I close my eyes and count again
I cant believe it but youre still here
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them youre still here

Chances Are
Chances are youll find me
Somewhere on your road tonight
Seems I always end up driving by
Ever since Ive known you
It just seems youre on my way
All the rules of logic dont apply
I long to see you in the night
Be with you til morning light
I remember clearly how you looked
The night we met
I recall your laughter and your smile
I remember how you made me
Feel so at ease
I remember all your grace, your style
And now youre all I long to see
Youve come to mean so much to me
Chances are Ill see you
Somewhere in my dreams tonight
Youll be smiling like the night we met
Chances are Ill hold you and Ill offer
All I have
Youre the only one I cant forget
Baby youre the best, Ive ever met
And Ill be dreaming of the future
And hoping youll be by my side
And in the morning Ill be longing
For the night, for the night
Chances are Ill see you
Somewhere in my dreams tonight
Youll be smiling like the night we met
Chances are Ill hold you and Ill offer
All I have
Youre the only one I cant forget
Baby youre the best Ive ever met

Keep Your Distance
Keep your distance.
Be far from me.
Be where you know
that I can't see.
For any closer
might we not be
frightened to the core
of finality?
Keep your distance.
Be not here.
For the nearness of you
brings on fear
that if you leave
there will be another year
that you keep your distance
and disappear.

Gigolette
Written by orbison/dees.
Oh, they call you gigolette,they say that youre the devils pet.
They say beware for you destroy,the heart and soul of everyboy.
They say that your lips are soft and warm.and they say that your touch has a magic charm
But that youre a butterfly flying from guy to guy.
Yes youre known as gigolette,oh love and them and leave them gigolette,
They say youre laugh when lovers cry they say its a kiss and then goodbye.
They say that your heart is made of stone and they say stay away leave you alone.
Ah, that youre a fly by night many arms to hold you tight.
But its too late for me.too late now to forget,Im under the spell of gigolette.
*my chance to run away is past, Im in your arms at last.
So come on and hold me.oh hold me close to you.
Oh kiss me,dont break my heart in two.
Tomorrow youre may be ot of sight, but tonight,tonight,tonight love me gigolette.

Thats How I Feel
(released as b-side of hang in long enough cd single, 1990)
Well Ive been waiting so long
Ive been waiting so patiently
Out of the blue you call
Youre leaving him to be with me now
Now maybe Im right, or maybe Im wrong
Oh, I gotta know now
Ill take what you got, so youd better hold on
Youd better believe it
Cos thats how I feel when Im in your arms
Thats how I feel when Im with you
You make me feel like never before
Thats how I feel when Im with you
He doesnt treat you good
He doesnt say the things that I say
So when he turns around
Youre gonna stab him in the back and then walk away
Now maybe Im right, or maybe Im wrong
Oh, I gotta know now
Ill take what you got, so youd better hold on
Youd better believe it
Cos thats how I feel when Im in your arms
Thats how I feel when Im with you
You make me feel like never before
Thats how I feel when Im with you
Youve been away too long
And now youre coming home
But I wont believe it until
Im holding you tight, tight, tight tonight
Now maybe Im right, or maybe Im wrong
Oh, I gotta know now
Ill take what you got, so youd better hold on
Youd better believe it
Cos thats how I feel when Im in your arms
Thats how I feel when Im with you
You make me feel like never before
Thats how I feel when Im with you
Thats how I feel when Im in your arms
(thats how I feel when Im with you) ooh, yeah
Thats how I feel when Im in your arms
Thats how I feel when Im with you
Thats how I feel when Im with you

Cry, Cry, Cry
Everybody knows where you go when the sun goes down
They say you only live to see the lights of town
I wasted my time when I would try, try, try
cause when the lights have lost their glow, youll cry, cry, cry
Soon your sugar-daddies will all be gone
And youll wake up some cold day and find youre alone
Youll come to me but Im gonna tell you bye, bye, bye
When I turn around and walk away, youll cry, cry, cry
Youre gonna cry, cry, cry and youll cry alone
When everyones forgotten and youre on your own
Youre gonna cry, cry, cry
I lie awake at night and wait till you come in
You stay a little while and then youre gone again
Every question that I ask, I get a lie, lie, lie
For every lie you tell, youre gonna cry, cry, cry
When your fickle little love gets old, no one will care for you
Youll come back to me for a little love thats true
Ill tell you no and youre gonna ask me why, why, why
When I remind you of all of this, youll cry, cry, cry
Youre gonna cry, cry, cry and youll want me there
Itll hurt when you think of the fool youve been
Youre gonna cry, cry, cry

Youre The One I Dream About
(pamela bowen, teresa jackson)
I caught you smiling at me again
Out of the corner of my eye.
It isnt easy when I have to pretend
That youre just another guy.
I cant let anyone ever know.
I cant let my feelings show.
Cause youre the one I dream about,
When I fall asleep at night.
And youre the one I think about
When he turns out the light
Now its so hard to live without youre love to hold me tight.
How I wish that he was you tonight.
Whenever you are close to me my heart
Just wont be still.
I hope that no one else can see the
Way you make me feel.
If only I didnt have to hide all this loving i
Hold inside
Repeat chorus

Starstruck
Baby, you dont know what youre saying,
Because youre a victim of bright city lights,
And your mind is not right.
You think the worlds at your feet.
cause youre starstruck, baby, starstruck.
Taken in by the lights,
Think youll never look back,
You know youre starstruck on me.
Baby, youre running around like youre crazy.
You go to a party and dance through the night,
And youll drink till youre tight,
And then youre out on your feet.
cause youre starstruck, baby, starstruck.
Taken in by the lights,
Think youll never look back,
You know youre starstruck on me.
Baby, watch out or else youll be ruined,
cause once youre addicted to wine and champagne,
Its gonna drive you insane,
Because the worlds not so tame.
And youre starstruck, baby, starstruck.
Youre taken in by the lights,
Think youll never look back,
You know youre starstruck on me.
Dont you know that you are,
Starstruck on me.
And you always will be,
Starstruck on me.
Starstruck on me.

Dont Stop
I can feel the night time coming
I can feel my resistance falling so low
Dont you know baby you got it
This hold on me
But I love just what youre doing
Oh youre all I need
When Im dancing with you girl
With the lights down low
The power you possess
You know I cant let go
Oh listen to me
Dont stop moving, baby
Tonights the night
Dont stop moving baby
Itll be alright
Cant you feel the fire burning?
It feels so right
Oh cant you feel my body yearning?
Hold me tight
Dont hold back, keep rising
Girl cant you see
All I need is your sweet loving
Oh to satisfy me
When you move your arms close
The magics in your eyes
You know you turn me on
Youve got me hypnotised
Oh let me tell you
Dont stop moving baby
Tonights the night
Oh dont stop moving baby
Itll be alright
Listen to me, dont stop moving baby
Tonights the night
Oh dont stop moving baby
Itll be alright
Oh, its you for me, everything I want
Everything I need
We are lucky to feel
What we feel tonight
All the love thats been together
Tonights the night
Oh baby dont stop moving baby
Tonights the night
Dont stop moving baby
Itll be alright
Dont stop, I said dont stop...

So Close
Youve been keeping me in limbo
Playing hide and seek
Youve been teasing me cause you know
That it makes me weak
Youve done everything to fall in love
I know what youre running from
Kisses like these are few and far between
Now were so close yet so far away
Im breaking down the distance
With every move, with every touch
Youre wearing down my resistance
You know your lonely days are numbered
Theres nothing you can do
Therell be no more keeping us apart
Im ready for the love to start
I can almost feel it breaking through
Now were so close yet so far away
Im breaking down the distance
With every move and every touch
Im wearing down your resistance
I wanna get closer, closer to you
I can almost feel it breaking through
So close yet so far away
Im breaking down the distance
With every move and every touch
Im wearing down your resistance
So close yet so far away
Im breaking down the distance
With every touch and every move
Youre wearing down my resistance

Youll Be Gone
(words & music by r. west - e. presley - c. hodge)
Sweetheart were alone
And you are mine
Lets make this night a night to remember
Dont make our love a cold dying ember
For with the dawn, youll be gone
Hold me close in your arms as the night withers away
Lets not waste one precious kiss while were together
Oh please come to my arms and say youll love me forever
For with the dawn, youll be gone
Sweetheart when youre near
My heart is aflame
Your lips pressed on mine is heaven descending
And I could die because it is ending
For with the dawn, youll be gone
Let these passions we feel in our hearts never end
I could never share this feeling with another
Oh please say that you feel the same, therell be no other
For with the dawn, youll be gone
For with the dawn, youll be gone
For with the dawn, youll be gone
For with the dawn, youll be gone

I Was Doing All Right
I was doing all right
Nothing but rainbows in my sky
I was doing all right
Till you came by.
Had no cause to complain
Life was as sweet as apple pie
Never noticed the rain
Till you came by.
But now whenever youre away
Cant sleep nights and suffer all the day
I just sit and wonder
If love isnt one big blunder.
But when you hold me tight
Tingling all through, I feel somehow
I was doing all right
But Im doing better than ever now.
But now whenever youre away
Cant sleep nights and suffer all the day
I just sit and wonder
If love isnt one big blunder.
But when you hold me tight
Tinglin all through, I feel somehow
I was doing all right
But Im doing better
Better than ever now.

When Someone Comes Into Your Life
When someone comes into your life
Take a chance, my love
Forget all the pain thats inside
Open up your heart
Youll forget as shes touching
Your face that I once held you
In my embrace
It might even feel right when you
Kiss her goodnight and not me
If someone should hold down her hand
Make her yours, my love
Dont know how long it may last,
Oh, how fast love goes
Youll forget me one day, dont you know
But your memories Ill never let go
I will love you the same as I did that
First day I found you
When someone comes into your life
Never close the door
What youre looking for
Might be in your arms at last
Dont run away
When someone comes into your life
Hold fast
When someone looks into your eyes
Dont refuse their love
You cant live the rest of your life
With a broken heart
Youll forget me one day, dont you know
But your memories Ill never let go
And when love comes to stay
I hope she loves you the way
I love you
When someone comes into your life
Never close the door
What youre looking for
Might be in your arms at last
Dont run away
When someone comes into your life
If someone comes into your life
When someone comes into your life
Hold fast, hold fast
