Betrayed By My Heart

I’m betrayed by my heart
now I’m falling apart at the seams
You’ve taken over my dreams
I can’t get free of you
Not a thing I can do, falling fast
I know that this cannot last

You’ll walk away from me
When you’ve taken the best that I have to give you
You’ll walk away and leave me falling apart
I’m betrayed by my heart, I’m betrayed by my heart

Shouldn’t have got involved
Problems that won’t be solved, Though I’ve tried
my feeling’s too strong to hide
I must see you again,
and it’s causing me pain needing you
Oh what am I going to do?

You’ll walk away from me
When you’ve taken the best that I have to give you
You’ll walk away and leave me falling apart
I’m betrayed by my heart, I’m betrayed by my heart

I’m betrayed by my heart
now I’m falling apart at the seams
You’ve taken over my dreams
I can’t get free of you
Not a thing I can do, falling fast
I know that this cannot last

You’ll walk away from me
When you’ve taken the best that I have to give you
You’ll walk away and leave me falling apart
I’m betrayed by my heart, I’m betrayed by my heart

I’m betrayed by my heart, I’m betrayed by my heart

Breaking Your Heart

You’re feeling bad you just want to die
Your heart’s so sad, all you do is cry
I know it’s hard, yes I know it’s rough
but girl you know you’ve got to be tough

You’ve got to hold your head up
And paint on your smile
Polish your act, and after a while
Noone will be able to tell that you’re breaking your heart
breaking your heart
Noone will be able to tell that you’re breaking your heart

I try to hide all the hurt I feel
I’ve got my pride but the pain is real
Sometimes I think I can’t carry on
But somehow I have got to be strong
So I just hold my head up
And paint on my smile
Polish my act, and after a while
Noone will be able to tell that I’m breaking my heart
Breaking my heart
Noone will be able to tell that I’m breaking my heart
Breaking my heart
Noone will be able to tell that I’m breaking my heart
If you’re breaking your heart
Girl you’ve got to hold your head up
And paint on your smile
Polish your act and after a while
Noone will be able to tell that you’re breaking your heart
Breaking your heart
Noone will be able to tell that you’re breaking your heart
Breaking your heart, breaking your heart,
Breaking your heart, breaking your heart

Easy Tears

Never knew a time before when I had such easy tears
seems that it gets harder as I watch the passing years
problems I once overcame and shrugged off with a smile
burden me and break my will, lengthen every mile

my journey once was lightly borne
but now hangs heavy on my heart
and with each stumbling step I fall
and we are ever far apart
and we are ever far apart

never knew a man before who could make me feel this way
someone who could understand words that I would never say
someone who could read my heart and the message in my eyes
Someone who could mend my world, give me hope not alibis

You made my body live again with feelings I had buried deep
And now you’re gone and I am left
with easy tears in restless sleep
with easy tears in restless sleep

You made my body live again with feelings I had buried deep
And now you’re gone and I am left
with easy tears in restless sleep
with easy tears in restless sleep

Going Out Of Your Mind

Well you made out alright
got your name up in lights
everyone knows your name
you’ve got fortune and fame
long before you were known
when your life was your own
you would dream of this night
you put up quite a fight

and I’ll never let you down
when you need a little loving
and there’s noone else around
oh baby just call me and I’ll come home

But you know I can tell
because I know you too well
If you count up the cost
of the things you have lost
you’re not nearly so sure
and you’re quite insecure
you’ve left people behind
going out of your mind

and I’ll never let you down
if you need a little loving
and there’s noone else around
oh baby just call me and I’ll come home

Oh it’s lonely out there
you need someone to care
well I’m still waiting here
and you’ve no need to fear
because right from the start
you took hold of my heart
so just call me and say
that you want me to stay

and I’ll never let you down
when you need a little loving
and there’s noone else around
oh baby just call me and I’ll come home

I Can Do Without You

I can go without food
for a couple of days
though it does me no good
keeps my mind in a haze
well I don’t need the sun
and I don’t need the rain
but I do need to know that I’ll see you again
there’s one thing I need to see me through
I can do without you.... for an hour or two

I can manage on my own
if it wasn’t for too long
I don’t really need a home
with you I feel that I belong
as long as you are near me
I can take or leave the rest
I’ve never been the type
who’s satisfied with second best
there’s one love I need to see me through
I can do without you.... for an hour or two

I'm Leaving This Time

I’m leaving I’ve got to get away
I’m leaving there’s nothing left to say
I’m leaving don’t want to seem unkind
I’m leaving but you can’t change my mind

I’m leaving this time, I’m leaving it all behind
I’m leaving this time
Can’t take anymore I’m walking out the door
I’m leaving, yes I’m leaving this time

It’s over the special love we knew
All over, you know this time we’re through
It’s over, at last I’ve found some sense
It’s over, I’ve finished with pretence

I’m leaving this time, I’m leaving it all behind
I’m leaving this time
Can’t take anymore I’m walking out the door
I’m leaving, yes I’m leaving this time

I’m leaving I’ve got to get away
I’m leaving there’s nothing left to say
I’m leaving don’t want to seem unkind
I’m leaving but you can’t change my mind

I’m leaving this time, I’m leaving it all behind
I’m leaving this time
Can’t take anymore I’m walking out the door
I’m leaving, I’m leaving this time....
I’m leaving this time, I’m leaving it all behind
I’m leaving this time
I’m leaving... I’m leaving this time
I’m leaving this time, I’m leaving it all behind
I’m leaving this time
I’m leaving.. I’m leaving this time

Jacaranda Sunset

Jacaranda sunset you are wasted on my soul tonight
tears of lonliness that haze my vision blind you from my sight
All your beauty’s lost on me
I’m drowning in my misery
Oh Jacaranda tree your loveliness can’t set me free tonight

Jacaranda tree I’m feeling blue like you, it’s plain to see
Jacaranda tree don’t you know only he can set me free?
Jacaranda tree I’m feeling blue like you, why can’t he see
that only he can set me free tonight?

Now the sun is slowly dying and the light is fading too
How I wish that I could watch this sunset one more time with you
there’s no magic on my own I just can’t face it here alone
oh Jacaranda tree without his love I can’t be free tonight

Jacaranda tree I’m feeling blue like you, it’s plain to see
Jacaranda tree don’t you know only he can set me free?
Jacaranda tree I’m feeling blue like you, why can’t he see
that only he can set me free tonight?

There’s no magic on my own, I just can’t face it here alone
Oh Jacaranda tree without his love I can’t be free tonight

Jacaranda tree I’m feeling blue like you, it’s plain to see
Jacaranda tree don’t you know only he can set me free?
Jacaranda tree I’m feeling blue like you, why can’t he see
that only he can set me free tonight?

Moment In Time

I know you’re leaving, my heart is grieving
But I’ll hold my head high and smile
I want to tell you, but I got no right to
And hurting just ain’t quite my style
I know I could have, maybe I should have
But my words of love went unsaid
You’ll never know now, It mustn’t show now,
But God how I wish I was dead

You were mine for the moment only
Mine for the moment then lost for all time
Mine for a moment in time
Mine for the moment only
Mine for the moment then lost for all time
Mine for a moment in time

I’ll try to hide it, keep it a secret
But my love for you is so strong
Can’t help it showing, the heartbreak keeps growing
But I’ll keep my tears till you’re gone
At least I’m trying, don’t start me crying
Leave me what’s left of my pride
I know I’m faking, my heart is breaking
I smile while I’m dying inside

You were mine for the moment only
Mine for the moment then lost for all time
Mine for a moment in time
Mine for the moment only
Mine for the moment then lost for all time
Mine for a moment in time
Mine for the moment only
Mine for the moment then lost for all time
Mine for a moment in time
Mine for a moment in time

Our Love Is Past

Wish I could turn back the clock
back to the time when you were mine
Love took my heart by surprise
I fell for you, foolish it’s true
but what am I going to do?

Our love is past but I’m caught in the present
We have no future I know
Oh how it hurts to let you go
Our love is past and it’s all too clear to me
That in the past is where I’d rather be

Memories crowd in on me
Thoughts bring you near, I feel you here
We had just moments to share
Fragments in space, lost without trace
Save for the tears on my face

Our love is past but I’m caught in the present
We have no future I know
Oh how it hurts to let you go
Our love is past and it’s all too clear to me
That in the past is where I’d rather be
Wish I could turn back the clock
Back to the time when you were mine
Love took my heart by surprise
I fell for you, foolish it’s true
But what am I going to do?

Our love is past but I’m caught in the present
We have no future I know
Oh how it hurts to let you go
Our love is past and it’s all too clear to me
That in the past is where I’d rather be

Our love is past but I’m caught in the present
We have no future I know
Oh how it hurts to let you go
Our love is past and it’s all too clear to me
That in the past is where I’d rather be

Please Don't Go

Baby please stay, isn’t there something I can say to change your mind?
Baby don’t go, we can work something out I know, to make it right
Here in my arms is where you know that you belong
I’d be a fool to let you go, it would be wrong

Stay here with me, oh, can’t you see? You’re the world and more to me
You know I just can’t go on all alone
Oh baby, what do you say? Please change your mind
Won’t you stay, don’t be unkind
I love you so. Please don’t go. No don’t go.

What can I do? I would do anything for you, just let me know
I’ll find a way to make you turn around and stay. I need you so
I can’t go on without your love to guide my way
You’re everything to me. Oh baby, won’t you stay?

Stay here with me, oh, can’t you see? You’re the world and more to me
You know I just can’t go on all alone
Oh baby, what do you say? Please change your mind
Won’t you stay, don’t be unkind
I love you so. Please don’t go. No don’t go.

Oh baby, stay here with me. Can’t you see? You’re the world and more to me
You know I just can’t go on all alone
Oh baby, what do you say? Please change your mind
Won’t you stay, don’t be unkind
I love you so. Please don’t go. Oh, no. No don’t go.

Roman Orgy For One

I’m lying in the bathtub and the water’s turning pink
I’ve got the very best champagne on icecubes in the sink
It’s funny how the bubbles make it hard for you to think
When you’re having a roman orgy for one

You’ll read it in the papers, maybe see a photograph
I hope I don’t look funny when they find me in the bath
They’ll see me with no clothes but after all that’s how it goes
When you’re having a roman orgy for one

It’s really quite surprising but I’m not in any pain
I hope I have enough time left to finish the champagne
I hope you get this letter but there’s no way to explain
Why I’m having a roman orgy for one

You’ll wonder why I did it, maybe even shed a tear
I can’t begin to tell you how I needed you right here
But every time I ‘phoned some woman said you weren’t at home
So I’m having a roman orgy for one

I guess you realise that life is really all a game
You win a few and lose a few it all turns out the same
and pretty soon I’m sure you won’t remember my last name
So I’m having a roman orgy for one

I’m getting rather sleepy so this is goodbye my friend
the folks back home will tell you they think I was round the bend
But I know what I’m doing and I loved you till the end
And I’m having a roman orgy for one
mmmmmmmmm

Souvenirs

Bundles of letters bound up with a bow
tickets I kept from a theatre show
photograph albums now faded with age
wonderful memories on every page
holiday postcards that still bring a smile
banish the lonliness just for awhile

I’ll keep my souvenirs to light my quiet years
call to mind happiness thinking of your caress
Your photo’s on the wall, yes love, I’ve kept them all
these are my souvenirs

I’ve kept the pictures we took for a laugh
every recording and each photograph
I know the words of your letters by heart
they mean so much to me now we’re apart
I read your poetry and sing your songs
My mind is one with yours, where it belongs

I’ll keep my souvenirs, gathered from many years
Each holds a memory that brings you back to me
I have you captured here, and often cry a tear
over my souvenirs

I’ll keep my souvenirs, gathered from many years
Each holds a memory that brings you back to me
I have you captured here, and often cry a tear
over my souvenirs

Tell Me Your Story

It’s been such a long time since I’ve seen your smile
come sit down beside me and stay for awhile
tell me about all the things you have done
hearts you have captured and games you have won
people and places you’ve seen on the way
Tell me your story please tell me your story
tell me your story, I want you to stay

Thousands of miles you have travelled alone
noone to comfort or give you a home
I’ve been here waiting it seems many years
now that you’re home at last I’ll dry your tears
I’ve been so lonely since you’ve been away
Tell me your story please tell me your story
tell me your story, I want you to stay

Come drink your wine we are easy together
friends for a lifetime let’s stay here together
we have so much to share, let’s never part
It’s many years since you first claimed my heart
our love will grow with each bright dawning day
Tell me your story please tell me your story
tell me your story, I want you to stay

It’s been such a long time since I’ve seen your smile
come sit down beside me and stay for awhile
tell me about all the things you have done
hearts you have captured and games you have won
people and places you’ve seen on the way
Tell me your story please tell me your story
tell me your story, I want you to stay
Tell me your story please tell me your story
tell me your story, I want you to stay

Too Shy To Give You A Smile

Everyday I watch her walking by.
Wish I could, yes I should
Every time she catches my eye,
should I smile, just a smile
Want to smile, wish I could, guess I should
But she will probably walk on by
she don’t know that I am too shy
to even give her a smile

She don’t know that I am too shy
(too shy)
I won’t even give it a try
(won’t try)
I will watch her walk right on by
(walk by)
I’m too shy, too shy,
too shy, to give you a smile
I’m too shy, too shy,
too shy, to give you a smile

Any other guy would ask her name,
what’s your name, pretty name
Maybe they are good at the game,
want to walk? we can talk
Want to try, play the game, ask her name
But she will probably walk on by
she don’t know that I am too shy
to even ask her her name

She don’t know that I am too shy
(too shy)
I won’t even give it a try
(won’t try)
I will watch her walk right on by
(walk by)
I’m too shy, too shy,
too shy, to give you a smile
I’m too shy, too shy,
too shy, to give you a smile

She don’t know that I am too shy
(too shy)
I won’t even give it a try
(won’t try)
I will watch her walk right on by
(walk by)
I’m too shy, too shy,
too shy, to give you a smile
I’m too shy, too shy,
too shy, to give you a smile
too shy,
too shy to give you a smile ohhhhh
I’m too shy... too shy
too shy to give you a smile
mmmmmm

Walk Away

I don’t know how to tell you I don’t love you anymore
I know it’s going to hurt you when I show you to the door
But how can I explain when words will only cause you pain
the only easy way I know is just to turn around and go
so baby now you know just what to do

You’ve got to take your courage in both hands and walk away
you know there’s really nothing left for us to try and say
we’ve had a real good time but now it’s reached the bitter end
so walk away and don’t look back my friend

I really do appreciate the things you did for me
you taught me how to look at things so I could really see
the wonder and the beauty all around me everywhere
you made me want to care, and now I know it seems unfair
but baby all I know is how I feel

You’ve got to take your courage in both hands and walk away
you know there’s really nothing left for us to try and say
we’ve had a real good time but now it’s reached the bitter end
so walk away and don’t look back my friend

I’ll think of you from time to time and wonder how you are
you never break your heart and walk away without a scar
you know I won’t forget you but you shouldn’t have regrets
but you’ll get over me, and pretty soon, just wait and see
oh baby please just turn around and go

You’ve got to take your courage in both hands and walk away
you know there’s really nothing left for us to try and say
we’ve had a real good time but now it’s reached the bitter end
so walk away and don’t look back my friend

You’ve got to take your courage in both hands and walk away
you know there’s really nothing left for us to try and say
we’ve had a real good time but now it’s reached the bitter end
so walk away and don’t look back my friend

You Are Tenderness

Eyes of emerald
sunlight dappled through leaves
dancing in forest streams
splashes sparkling on moss
grassy banks under trees

Hair like liquid jet
Nightshade and raven wing
quite overshadowing
dark polished ebony
with your silken glory

Voice low and vibrant
Moves me more than music
striking a chord within
compulsive, expressive
in its variety

heart full of poetry
humour solemnity
phrases come flowing through
thoughts of such symmetry
images strange and free

You are tenderness
strength shared with thoughtfulness
comfort in your embrace
gently considerate
lovingly passionate

eyes of emerald
and hair like liquid jet
your voice low and vibrant
heart full of poetry
love you are tenderness
love you are tenderness
