Les Paroles :
I don’t know how many stars there are
Up in the heavenly sky
I only know my heaven it’s here on earth
Each time you look into my eyes
The way you do, baby
Thank you, thank you, baby
My beautiful bird you have flown away
I held you too tight I can see
You’re all I need to get by
No one else could make me cry
The way you do, baby
You are the book that I read each day
You are the song that I sing
Gonna sing it to you
You are the four seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow
You’ll change your mind, girl
Maybe tomorrow
You’ll come back to my arms, girl
You’re all I need to get by
No one else could make me cry
The way you do, baby
You are the book that I read each day
You are the song that I sing
Gonna sing it to you
You are the four seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow
You’ll change your mind, girl
Maybe tomorrow
You’ll come back to my arms
You are the book that I read each day
You are the song that I sing
You are the four seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow
You’ll change your mind, girl
Maybe tomorrow
You’ll come back to my arms

Les Paroles :
Man, oh, man, how glad I am
To have that pot of gold at the rainbow's end
Talkin' about that girl
She's good, she's good, she's good to me, yeah.
Boy, oh boy, loads of joy
Every time she comes to mind, my friend
Talkin' about that girl
She's good, she's good, she's good to me, yeah.
(She's good, she's good)
Don't you know I'm in heaven now?
And my little dream, is this really real?
I'm scared to pinch myself to find out.
My, oh my, it's heard to realize
That something so groovy could be mine.
Talkin' about that girl
She's good, she's good she's good to me, yeah.
(She's good, she's good)
Don't you know that the world is mine?
And my little dream, is this really real?
I'm scared to pinch myself to find out.

Boy, oh boy (she's good, she's good)

And I love her, ooooh

She's so good

Les Paroles :
Chorus:
Never can say goodbye
No no no no, I
Never can say goodbye
Even though the pain and heartache
Seems to follow me wherever I go
Though I try and try to hide my feelings
They always seem to show
Then you try to say you're leaving me
And I always have to say no...
Tell me why
Is it so
That I
Never can say goodbye
No no no no, I
Never can say goodbye
Everytime I think I've had enough
I start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
piercin me right to the core
It says turn around you fool
You know you love her more and more
Tell me why
(tell me why)
Is it so
(is it so)
Don't wanna let you go!
I can never can say goodbye girl
(never can say goodbye girl)
ou ou baby
(don't wanna let you go girl)
I never can say goodbye
no no no no no no no no no no no
ou! oh!
I never can say goodbye girl
(never can say goodbye girl)
ouuuuuuuu ouuuuuuuuuu
never can say goodbye
no no no no no no no no no no no
(chorus)
I keep thinkin that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feeling and there's that anguish, there's that
doubt
It's the same old did ya hang up
??You carry with you all the time??

Les paroles :
You hold me close to you, my baby
But somehow it doesn't feel the same
You've built a wall so high between us
Then you tell me that you haven't changed, whoah.
Tear down the wall that I can feel between us
The hidden wall that hides the real love
Tear it all down, tear the wall down.
Tell me our love has got the strength to take it
Tell me what's wrong, we'll make it.
Tear it all down, yeah, tear the wall down.
Oooh hoo hoo, oooh hoo hoo
I thought I really knew you, baby
Almost the way I know myself
But now you're acting like a stranger
And you've changed, girl, to somebody else, whoah, baby.
Tear down the wall that I can feel between us
The hidden wall that hides the real love
Tear it all down, tear the wall down.
Tell me our love has got the strength to take it
Tell me what's wrong, we'll make it.
Tear it all down, yeah, tear the wall down.
Tear down the wall that I can feel between us
The hidden wall that hides the real love
Tear it all down, yeah, tear the wall down. (Repeat and fade)
When my honey says she loves me so
Believe me, ya'll, it's far from status quo
A grain of salt I take with her heart
'Cause after her next breath, that girl may love me not.
She tells my I'm so sweet
Sugar can't compete
Then puts me on the shelf
Crying by myself.
Throwing petals, petals, tossing petals on the ground
Yesterday she picked me up just to throw me down
Those petals, petals, tell me what will it be today?
Will she walk into my arms or will she walk away?
She'll wake up some day and see
You're the only one she needs
Don't give up, just stick around
You'll be up instead of down.
She keeps telling me she wants me near
But half the time it's far from crystal clear
Fickle-heart must be her middle name
'Cause loving her is just a guessing game, oh
She calls up to say
Be there right away
Then leaves me sitting home
All alone and
Throwing all those petals, petals, tossing petals on the ground
Yesterday she picked me up just to throw me down
Those petals, petals, tell me what will it be today?
Will she walk into my arms or will she walk away?
She loves me (loves me, loves me)
And I feel like a king!
She loves me not (loves me not, she loves me not)
Huh! I've lost everything!
Petals, petals, tossing petals on the ground
Yesterday she picked me up just to thow me down
Yesterday I couldn't lose (yesterday I couldn't lose)
But today I sing the blues.
Happy birthday, happy birthday, I love you so
Sixteen candles make a lovely sight
But not as bright as your hazel eyes
Blow out the candles, baby, make a wish come true
For I'll be wishing that you love me, too.
You're only sixteen
But you're my teenage queen
You're the prettiest and the loveliest girl I've ever seen
Sixteen candles in my heart will glow
For ever and ever for I love you so
You're only sixteen
But you're my teenage queen
You're the prettiest, loveliest girl I've ever seen.
Baby, sixteen candles in my heart will glow
For ever and ever for I love you so
Happy birthday, happy birthday, baby, I love you so
Happy birthday, happy birthday, baby, I love you so
Happy birthday, happy birthday, baby, I love you so
(Repeat and fade)

Les paroles :
We've got blue skies, we've got blue skies
It seems like only yesterday
You gave your love to me
And we made a vow that through the years
Our love would always be.
Whenever doubts would fill my mind
You'd brush my fears away
Look into my eyes and hold me close
And this is what you'd say:
We've got blue skies, now can't you see?
There'll never ever be another love for me.
The pleasant dreams we shared
Made our love stronger with each day
And the fears that haunted me
Seemed like a million miles away.
When friends we knew would come to me
With lies about your love
I'd tell them happiness and sunny skies
Are all we're thinking of
We're so in love
We're thinking of.
Blue skies...
Blue skies...
I see you there, you're kissing him
How can this really be?
Well, I guess it's time to realize
My dreams are more to me
And as I walk off thinking
What a fool I must have been
Like an echo from my lips today
I hear you telling him:
We've got blue skies, now can't you see?
There'll never ever be another love for me.
We've got blue skies, now can't you see?
There'll never ever be another love for me.
Blue skies, we've got blue skies
Blue skies, we've got blue skies
Blue skies, we've got blue skies, oh baby
(Repeat and fade)
All my friends keep asking what do I see in you
Through their eyes you beauty doesn't show
Ooh, all they ask is justified looking through the naked eye
But through the eyes of my love I see
The inner beauty of you
That's why you're my little baby
That's why you're my little baby
I don't want love on the skin
It's got to come from deep within
That's why you're my little baby
My little baby
My heart controls my eyes
And your love I visualize, oh yeah!
All your so-called girl friends who compliment your clothes
Know that they're you mama's hand-me-downs
Oooh, the fashion world's turning so fast
You're still trying to catch the past.
But in my world of love your style
I know will always last.
That's why you're my little baby
That's why you're my little baby
I don't care what experts say
Our love is tailor-made
That's why you're my little baby
My my my my little baby
Like a brand-new ermine coat
You keep me warm as toast, little baby!
You know it's true, little baby
You know it's true, girl
You know it's true, little baby
You know it's true, babe
I'm sticking with you, little baby
I'm sticking with you, girl
I'm sticking with you, little baby
Always thrill me when you touch me
Honey, you thrill me when you kiss me, little baby, yeah
Oh, sweet baby, I've got to say I'm thankful that you're my little baby
My little baby
You fill me up with pride
Every time you're by by side, now now now now
Oh yeah, you're my little baby, my little baby
My little baby, I've got to say I'm thankful that you're my little baby
My little baby, my little baby (Repeat and fade)
So glad, so glad, so glad
To be back in your arms
Thank you, baby, thank you, baby
Back where I belong
Oh, I went out to do my thing
And I was totally rejected
I put you down for love unknown
But it wasn't what I expected
So frightened and confused
I came running back to you
I got right down on my knees
And said darling, won't you please
I don't know why you did it
But I'm not too proud to admit it, baby
Thank you, baby, thank you, baby
It's great to be here, oooh
It's great to be here in your arms
Back where I belong.
Adventure grabbed my heart
And took me away from you, honey
I met all kinds of pretty girls
In every town that I passed through
But that fiery señorita
Burned me down in Mexico
And I got kisses cold as ice
From my Alaskan Eskimo
I feel guilty and ashamed
But I'm gonna say it just the same, baby
Thank you, baby, thank you, baby, yeah
It's great to be here, oooh
It's great to be here in your arms
Now yes says señorita
She gave me I'll just sí ya!
While kissing in the igloo
My Eskimo said no no!
Yeah, baby
So glad, so glad, so glad
To be back in your arms
It's great to be here
It's great to be here in your arms
Baby, baby, baby, baby, ow!
It's great to be here, oooh
It's great to be here in your arms, yeah
It's great to be here in your arms
Baby, baby, baby, baby, yeah (Repeat and fade)
Spoken intro:
It was there on my grandma's farm
Where the grapes grew high on the barn
Yeah, that's where we first met, little girl.
But:
You ain't gonna 'mount to nothin'
'Cause you ain't gonna work for nothin'
Without you, I'm good for nothin', honey chile.
Ooow, honey chile
Sho' 'bout to drive me wild
And I love you so,
I can't let go now, honey chile.
Oooh, sugar chile
I'd walk me a country mile
Just to be with you
It’s sad but true now, honey chile
You don’t act like a lady
‘Cause you've been courtin' Davey
His reputation's shady, honey chile.
Hey, you even went out with Cally
That guy from across the alley
Oh, I've been keeping tally, honey chile
You're like the grapes upon the vine
That went in Granny’s wine
'Cause like that homemade wine so sweet
You sho ‘nuff drivin' me out of my mind now
You’re friends with every playboy
Using me for a play toy
You'll ruin my pride and joy now, honey chile
Ow, honey chile,
Sho' 'bout to drive me wild
And I love you so,
I can't let go now, honey chile.
Oooh sugar chile
I'd walk me a country mile
Just to be with you
It’s sad but true now, honey chile
Spoken:
Why dontcha put on your shoes, little girl?
Then I can kiss ya!
Ooooh, looky here now.
One day I'm gonna get stronger
And I won't need you no longer
This feeling will be gone now, honey chile.
I can't take disgracin'
That ain't the way grandma raised me
You're gonna hurt me crazy, honey chile
Hey, sugar chile,
I'd walk me a country mile
Just to be with you
It’s sad but true now, honey chile
Hey honey chile you sho’ 'bout to drive me wild
And I love you so I can’t let go now, honey chile.
One little kiss
Led to another and another and another
Then, ooh, I wanted you
And I feel those good vibrations
Deep inside my soul
Telling me that you're my goal.
But if I'm stepping out of line
If my words don't seem to rhyme
It's because I'm falling head over heels in love with you
Darling, please don't turn away
Open your heart and let me stay
And I will find a way.
Oh, trying to get to you
Is like trying to get a little cat down from the top of a tree
You're scared of me
But believe my ladder to love
Is strong and it will never break
Your little heart will be safe.
But if I'm stepping out of line
If my words don't seem to rhyme
It's because I'm falling head over heels in love with you
Darling, please don't be afraid
Open your heart and let me stay
And I will find a way.
But if I'm stepping out of line
If my words don't seem to rhyme
It's because I'm falling head over heels in love with you
Darling, please don't be afraid
Open your heart and let me stay
And I will find a way.
But if I'm stepping out of line
If my words don't seem to rhyme
It's because I'm falling head over heels in love with you
Darling, please don't be afraid
Open your heart and let me stay
And I will find a way into your heart, girl. (Repeat and fade)
