Side one

1. Cry Just A Little

Do your dreams
ever take you back
When love was new
Does your heart ever
long for those days
When love was true
Seems like that
magic of yesterday
Has just slipped away
So my darling before you go
Oh, I hope you know, woe

I’m gonna cry just a little
Or die just a little
Cause I still love you
And I’ll always love you
Cry just a little
Or die just a little
Cause I still love you
And I’ll always love you

I still remember when
We used to laugh at the silly things
That we used to say
Now the song that I sing to you
Just turns you away
I never knew lovers
could turn into strangers overnight
How could I be so blind to the danger
Oh, it’s just not right, oh

I’m gonna cry just a little
Or die just a little
Cause I still love you
And I’ll always love you
Cry just a little
Or die just a little
Cause I still love you
And I’ll always love you

2. I Only Wanted You

I never wanted that
mansion on a hill.
I never needed
that Cadillac Seville.
I only wanted you
I only wanted you.

I never wanted those
diamonds on my hand
I was happy with
just a wedding band.
I only wanted you
I only wanted you.

I just wanted to have
your arms around me.
I just needed to feel
your love surround me.
And now that we’re apart,
it breaks my heart in two.
’Cuz you never really had
a clue I only wanted you.

Instead of always giving
me something else
I wish just once
you’d given me yourself.
I only wanted you,
I only wanted you.

I just wanted to have
your arms around me.
I just needed to feel
your love surround me.
And now that we’re apart,
it breaks my heart in two.
That you never even
had a clue, I only wanted you.

I only wanted you
I only wanted you.

3. You’re Still New To Me (with Paul Davis)

Harold comes over
and cries on my shoulder
While Linda keeps
you on the phone
Lord knows they’re trying
to keep their love from dying
But somehow they can’t get along
As their love grows older,
their hearts just grow colder
It looks like it’s over for them
Buy honey, I loved you so
much the first time that we touched
I love you more now than then.

Darling, you’re still new to me
The longer that I hold
you the more I believe
That our first night together,
well it’s gonna last forever
If only in our memories
You know, time won’t be stealing
that old first time feeling
You’ll always be new to me

Let’s bring back the good times
Those days that were so fine
We’ll play our favorite old songs
Well it’s a scratchy old record
But it sounds good as ever
When we’re dancing
and you sing along

Darling, you’re still new to me
The longer that I hold you
the more I believe
That our first night together,
well it’s gonna last forever
If only in our memories
You know, time won’t be stealing
that old first time feeling
You’ll always be new to me

4. Making Magic

It’s no illusion or
slight of the hand,
I can feel it
Still I don’t understand
how it happens
Whenever you’re near
The whole world disappears
It’s amazing this way that I feel
Looking to you,
I can see that it’s real
It’s no mystery
What’s going on here

We’re making magic,
out of the night
No deceptions,
no mirrors and lights
Just emotions,
somehow flowing
Between us two
Making magic out thin air
There’s no question,
baby we’ve got a flair
It’s all in the heart,
it was clear from the start
Yes it’s true, we’re magic,
me and you

Where’s it coming from,
well I couldn’t say
Seems to vanish
when you go away
Explanations, why waste our time
When I’m yours and you’re mine
While I’m waiting
the day drags on by
Time is crawling
when I want it to fly
How much longer until
you walk through the door
And there’s more of

We’re making magic,
out of the night
No deceptions,
no mirrors and lights
Just emotions, somehow flowing
Between us two
Making magic out thin air
There’s no question,
baby we’ve got a flair
It’s all in the heart,
it was clear from the start
Yes it’s true, we’re magic,
me and you

5. I Know The Feeling

You say you’re having
trouble sleeping at night
Tossing and turning wanting
someone warn to hold
Let me tell you that
I know what it’s like
I’ve been there too and
getting lonely sure gets old
You need a shoulder
you can cry on

I know the feeling
when you need someone
Somebody to believe in
I know the feeling
when you’re on your own
And your heart needs a home
I’m looking for someone too,
darling, I know the feeling

You still remember how
love hurt you before
Crying those tears you
swore you’d never cry again
You’re hesitating cause
you want to be sure
You try to be strong,
but your heart starts giving in
I don’t know where
this night is leading us

I know the feeling
when you need someone
Somebody to believe in
I know the feeling
when you’re on your own
And your heart needs a home
I’m looking for someone too,
darling, I know the feeling

Side Two

1. Your Love Carries Me Away

Outside the rain is pouring down
It falls on the roof and
makes such a lonely sound
Seems like it takes forever
But the moment we’re together

Your love carries me
high on the wind like a melody
Your love carries me away
Away beyond the highest high
Away up where the eagles fly
Your love carries me away

When we’re apart
I’m never blue
Cos it won’t be long
until I’m here with you
One touch from you can take me
Up to where the stars are waiting

Your love carries me
high on the wind like a melody
Your love carries me away
Away beyond the highest high
Away up where the eagles fly
Your love carries me away

Just when I thought
I’d never fall in love again
You came along and
made it better than it’s ever been

Your love carries me high
on the wind like a melody
Your love carries me away
Away beyond the highest high
Away up where the eagles fly
Your love carries me away

2. We’re Gonna Need A Love Song

Move a little closer, babe,
and rest your heart right here
Leave your cares behind
watch them disappear
We make the sounds
of sweet surrender
Oh, it’s a night we will remember

We’re gonna need a love song
One we can call our own
Words that say it all so right
We’re gonna need a melody
One that’ll sing so sweetly
We’re gonna need
a love song tonight

Just a soulful voice
and a soft guitar
’Bout a lover’s moon
and a wishing star
And in the part that’s
got the harmony
It’s got to say just
what you mean to me

We’re gonna need a love song
One we can call our own
Words that say it all so right
We’re gonna need a melody
One that’ll sing so sweetly
We’re gonna need
a love song tonight

When we dance
we love those happy songs
And when we’re sad
we sing the blues
Now that we know right
where our hearts belong
We’ve got to have it
simple and true

We’re gonna need a love song
One we can call our own
Words that say it all so right
We’re gonna need a melody
One that’ll sing so sweetly
We’re gonna need a love song tonight

We’re gonna need a love song tonight
Move a little closer, babe,
and rest your heart right here

3. New Love

So long tears and heartaches
So long I’ve had all I can take
Hello smile back on my face
I’ve got a new love

Goodbye sad alone nights
Goodbye I know the lonely bright
Hello arms to hold me tight
I’ve got a new love

New love feels so fine
New love just in time
I’m starting my life all over again
With you
New love, my new love
Turn me on and start me up
My loving you is
making me feel brand new

So long Hotel Heartbreak
Goodbye I’m moving out today
Hello house on Happy Place
I’ve got a new love

New love feels so fine
New love just in time
I’m starting my life all over again
With you
New love, my new love
Turn me on and start me up
My loving you is
making me feel brand new

So long tears and heartaches
So long I’ve had all I can take
Hello smile back on my face
I’ve got a new love
I’ve got a new love
I’ve got a new love

4. More Than Dancing

I’ve danced this dance
at least a thousand times
So who would think that this
would be any different tonight
It’s the same old song
that I’ve danced along to
in so many arms before
But something strange started
happening the moment
we took the floor

This feels like more
than dancing to me
It’s almost like my
heart has taken wings
And soaring far away
High above on
the way to love
With every step with you
Love is coming closer into view
This is much more than it seems
It feels like more
than dancing to me

Could it have been the
way you took my hand
Or the way you smiled
when you asked
may I have this dance
With your arms around me
I’m wrapped in a feeling
That I just can’t ignore
You’ve taken my heart to
places it’s never been before

This feels like more
than dancing to me
It’s almost like my
heart has taken wings
And soaring far away
High above on the way to love
With every step with you
Love is coming closer into view
This is much more than it seems
It feels like more
than dancing to me

5. Everybody’s Crazy ’Bout My Baby

Caught you looking at my baby
out of the corner of my eye
We were arm in arm
when you smiled at him
as we went walking by
Now I understand
what could make a girl
try a little trick like that
But if you’re thinking of
trying to win his love
Let me tell you where it’s at

Everybody’s crazy ’bout my baby
But my baby’s crazy ’bout me
Everybody’s got eyes for my baby
But I’m the only one he sees
So give him a smile
and try to get his attention
The one thing, girl,
I’d like to mention
Everybody’s crazy ’bout my baby
And my baby’s crazy ’bout me

We go walking down the avenue
He’s dressed up and looking fine
I can hear hearts break
cause I know just what
All you pretty girls
have got in mind
You smile in my face,
but you’d take my place
The minute my back was turned
So before you try
to steal my guy
Let me tell you
something that I have learned.

Wo, everybody’s crazy ’bout my baby
But my baby’s crazy ’bout me
Everybody’s got eyes for my baby
But I’m the only one he sees
So give him a smile
and try to get his attention
The one thing, girl,
I’d like to mention
Everybody’s crazy ’bout my baby
And my baby’s crazy ’bout me
