Togetherness, well that's all I'm after

I'll be there to protect you, with an unselfish love that respects you
Just call my name and I'll be there

If you should ever find someone new, I know he'd better be good to you
'Cause if he doesn't, I'll be there

The Love I Saw In You Was Just A Mirage 

THERE YOU WERE BEAUTIFUL
THE PROMISE OF LOVE WAS WRITTEN ON YOUR FACE
YOU LED ME ON WITH UNTRUE KISSES
YOU HELD ME CAPTURED IN YOUR FALSE EMBRACE
QUICKER THAN I CAN BAT AN EYE
SINCE YOU WERE TELLING ME GOODBYE

OH, JUST A MINUTE AGO YOUR LOVE WAS HERE
ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SEEM TO DISAPPEAR
SWEETNESS WAS ONLY HEARTACHES CAMOUFLAGE
THE LOVE I SAW IN YOU WAS JUST A MIRAGE
(YOU PROMISED THAT LOVE WE FOREVER SHARE)
(BUT ALL I HAVE ARE MEMORIES OF LOVE THAT WAS NEVER THERE)

WE USE TO MEET IN ROMANTIC PLACES
YOU GAVE THE ILLUSION THAT YOUR LOVE WAS REAL
NOW ALL THAT'S LEFT ARE LIPSTICK TRACES
FROM THE KISSES YOU ONLY PRETENDED TO FEEL
AND NOW OUR MEETINGS YOU AVOID
AND SO MY WORLD YOU HAVE DESTROYED

OH, JUST A MINUTE AGO YOUR LOVE WAS HERE
ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SEEM TO DISAPPEAR
THE WAY YOU WRECKED MY LIFE WAS LIKE SABOTAGE
THE LOVE I SAW IN YOU WAS JUST A MIRAGE
(YOU BROUGHT ME UP JUST TO THROW ME DOWN)
(YOU LEFT ME AND MY DREAMS SHATTERED ALL ON THE GROUND)

OH, OH, OH YOU ONLY FEEL ME WITH DESPAIR
BY SHOWING LOVE THAT WASN'T THERE
OH, JUST LIKE THE DESERT SHOWS A THIRSTY MAN
GREEN OASIS WHERE THERE'S ONLY SAND
YOU LURED ME INTO SOMETHING I SHOULD HAVE DODGED
THE LOVE I SAW IN YOU WAS JUST A MIRAGE
(TO YOU I GAVE TRUE LOVE FROM DEEP WITHIN)
(YOU MADE ME HUNGRY FOR YOUR LOVE, BUT IT WAS NO DEEPER THAN YOUR SKIN)

Darling Dear 

The game of love
Is such a beautiful game
If you?ve got time, little girl
I?d like to explain
All the do?s and don?ts
All the wills and won?ts

So Lend an ear, darling dear
(Sweet darling dear)
Do be sincere
And true love will appear
Don?t be shy
Or love will pass you by
If you will
My heart you may steal
If you don?t
The game of love you lose alone

(Darling dear)

Do be sincere
And true love will appear
Don?t be shy
Or love will pass you by
If you will
My heart you may steal
If you don?t
The game of love you lose alone

(First)
First I?ll place my arms
So gently around you
(Then)
Then whisper darling I?m so glad I found you

Then your lips unwind
A simple touch wouldn?t mind
A kiss will stay, darling dear
(Sweet darling)
Darling, darling dear, yeah
(Sweet darling dear)
Darling dear
(Sweet darling dear)
Darling dear

Reach In 

Can't find no rhyme to it all
But still we keep on trying
The why and where of it all
Inside you the answer is lying

Reach in (reach in)
Find that tree of wisdom
Reach in (reach in)
Find out why you're livin'

Reach in (reach in)
Put away that shade (?) of sin
And let love shine in…
And let love shine in…
Shine, shine, shine, shine….

Don't take the easy way out
Believe there is a Maker
Don't be a body of doubt
In whom does live a faker

Reach in (reach in)
Find that tree of wisdom
Reach in (reach in)
Find out why you're livin'

Reach in (reach in)
Put away that shade of sin
And let love shine in…
And let love shine in…

A soul without love
Is a soul without meaning
And the Lord up above
He'll destroy every being

Reach in....

Reach in (reach in)
Find that tree of wisdom
Reach in (reach in)
Find out why you're livin'

(Etc., etc., - they vamp till the end)

Bridge Over Troubled Water 

ooh,
when you're weary feeling small
when tears are in your eyes
i'll dry then all
i'm on you side
oh, times get rough
and friends just can't be found
like a bridge over troubled water
i will lay me down
like a bridge over troubled water
i will lay me down

when you're down and out
when you're on the street
when evening falls so hard
i will comfort you

i'll take your part
oh, and darkness come
and pain is all around
like a bridge over troubled water
i will lay me down
like a bridge over troubled water
i will lay me down
ooh

i will lay me down
sail on silver
i will lay me down
sail on silver, girl
your time has come to shine
all your dreams are on their way

see how they shine
oh, if you need a friend
i'm sailing right behind
like a bridge over troubled water
i will ease your mind
ooh

i will ease your mind
like a bridge over troubled water
i will ease your mind
ohh, ohh, ooh
like a bridge over troubled water

Mamas Pearl 

(Bum, bum, bum, bum)
You send cold chills
Up and down my spine
We kiss for thrills
Then you draw the line
Oh baby

'Cause your mama told you
That love ain't right
But don't you know
Good lovin' is the spice of life Yeah

(Chorus)
Mama's pearl, let down those curls
Won't you give my love a whirl
Find what you been missin'
Ooh, ooh, now baby
Goody girl, let down those curls
Let me give your heart a twirl
Don't keep me wishing

(Bum, bum, bum, bum)
You want my lovin' yes you do, do, do
You know my lovin' is true, true, true
Now baby

But your conscience tells you
That love is wrong
But just a little lovin' never hurt no one, oh

(Chorus)
Let all it hang (Girl, don't be afraid)
(Oh, we've got the first step made)
(Ooh, the rest is up to you)
(Here is what to do)
(Let yourself go)

Let yourself just oh now, now no
Let your lovin' go now, now
Just give it to me
('Cause I got what you need)
I got what you need
Let's fall in love, let's fall in love

find out what you're missin'
Goody girl lay down your curls
Let me give your heart a twirl

Why don't you give my love a whirl (Girl, don't be afraid)
(Oh, we've got the first step made)
(Ooh, just give it, just give it to me)
('Cause I got what you need)
Got what you need
(Let's fall in love, let's fall in love)
(Let's yourself go)

Let yourself just oh now, now no
Let your lovin' go now, now
Just give it to me
('Cause I got what you need)
Oh, mama's pearl
(Girl, don't be afraid)
(Let's fall in love, let's fall in love)

Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready or the heart aches to
come.
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to
come.
(Can't you see me) Standing in the shadows of
love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to
come.
I wanna run but there's no place to go
For heartaches will find me I know.
Without your love, a love I need
It's the beginning of the end of me.
Cuz you've taken away all my reasons for
living
When you pushed aside all the love I've been
giving.
Now wait a minute!
Didn't I always treat you right
Now baby didn't I, didn't I, didn't I?
Didn't I do the best I could
Now didn't I, didn't I?
(Don't you see me) Standing in the shadows of
love
Getting ready for the heart aches to come.
(Can't you see me) Standing in the shadows of
love
Doing my best to get ready for the heart aches
to come.
All alone I'm destined to be
With misery my only company.
It may come today, or it may come tomorrow
But it's for sure I've got nothing but
sorrow.
I thought your conscience would kinda bother
you
How can you watch me cry after all I've done for
you?
Hold on a minute!
I gave you all the love I had
Now didn't I, didn't I, didn't I?
When you needed me I was always there
Now wasn't I, wasn't I?
(Don't you leave me) Standing in the shadows of
love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to
come.
I'm trying not to cry outloud
Cuz all this cryin' it ain't, it ain't gonna
help me none!
Now what did I do, girl, to cause all this
grief?
Now what did I say to make you want to leave?
Now wait a minute!
I gave my heart and soul to you
Now didn't I, didn't I, didn't I?
And didn't I always treat you good
Now didn't I, didn't I?
(Don't you see me) Standing in the shadows of
love
I'm getting ready or the heart aches to
come.
