For A Rainy Day
02:37

Save some for a rainy day
When the winter’s here
Everybody has fun
When they take their coats out for an evening run
Save some for a rainy day
When the spring comes near
All the streets in our town
Seem to brighten up the weary stars above
CHORUS:
And I feel that it’s getting closer
I hear the wind and it’s getting colder
Watch the waves and they’re getting bigger
The weather’s changing, we gotta find something to do
REFRAIN:
What should I do? Where should I be when the rain falls?
All the fun is gone as the seasons go
You gotta save something really good
(something good)
Save some for a rainy day
When the summer hits, you don’t need to stay in
When you wake up, you embrace the morning sun
(REPEAT CHORUS)

When I saw you standing there with a lonely stare
Boy, you better believe I can't take my eyes out of you
It's a Sunday afternoon when we first held hands
Truly I felt like I'm in heaven
CHORUS:
Always going away, you're slipping away
I can't let that go on
Always slipping away, you're going away
I can't let that go on
Oh I love the way you look and the way you smile
I dig all your record collection, I'm so fond of you
But when you said you had to go and take the Monday train
How I wish it's Sunday and you will fall from heaven
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
Now I hope to see you soon
How I wish you could be something that I'd always have

You're keeping me waiting
You know it's not easy
You know it's that bad
Staring at the ceiling
Biding my time
I start to hide
CHORUS
And when the world stops turning
You know that I'll come knocking at your door
You see the times are changing
Come hold my hand and let's just laugh at it
Blue skies above me
I thought of your smile
While driving my car
Let's meet at the station
The train will arrive
I won't leave you behind
(REPEAT CHORUS)

I know that you've been lonely for a long time
But now that I'm back here in your arms
I can hold you so tight
I think it's supposed to rain tonight
I stood beside my window
And it's foggy, it's cold outside
I feel the tears trickle from my eyes
I think it's supposed to rain tonight
BRIDGE:
One day we can see the sun come shining through
I can only pray
Gentle morning, clearer skies, we'll see them soon
Please stay, it's just fair

Since You Came Along
03:11
|
|
||
|
You used to be a stranger, now you’re my best friend.
Since you came along, you got me smiling, leaving all my troubles behind.
I used to be a stone, now I’m soft like a cloud.
Since you came along, you gave me chances, you gave me joy.
REFRAIN:
And when the nights seem uninviting
A ray of hope can make them brighter than the whitest snow
CHORUS:
Ooh, I can’t get enough of you.
Ooh, I can’t be apart from you.
Ooh, I’m telling you it’s true.
I used to be a drifter, like a passerby
Since you came along, I haven’t been hiding, leaving all my worries behind.
I used to be so low, now I’m high as a kite.
Yeah, I felt a spark. You know I knew it from the start.
REPEAT REFRAIN
Ooh, I can’t get enough of you.
Ooh, I can’t be apart from you.
Ooh, I can’t get enough of you.
Ooh, I can’t be apart from you.
Ooh, I’m telling you it’s true.

Sinking slowly. What have you done?
Softly shrinking. Where did your heart go?
You’ll never really know how much I need you.
Breaking gently. The nights get lonely.
Lightly twisting, you hurt me so.
You’ll never really know how much I need you.
Breaking gently. The nights get lonely.
Lightly twisting, you hurt me so.
You’ll never really know how much I need you.

Good Things Everyday
02:11
|
|
||
|
Summer is over, the wind is getting colder.
Are you ready to have some fun?
I’ll spend some time in your arms.
A gentle breeze is knocking, the bright lights they are shining.
Don’t go hiding, let’s start smiling.
The best days are coming soon.
CHORUS:
Just when we thought the day is done.
We spent time in the sinking sun.
When the weather changes, it lights our way.
Good things everyday.

Keeping In Tune
02:37
|
|
||
|
Gone were the days when I stood there alone in the rain
I used to cry but when you came in you brightened the sky
A stroll in the park, it’s never the same when I’m walking with you
We strum our guitars, never complaining when it gets dark
CHORUS:
I could tell that you’re falling for me
By the way you smile
I’d spend time kissing, laughing with you, only you.
BRIDGE:
And when the stars come down, you’ll hold me close
No wasted minute each day
Not even when we’re sleeping, even when we’re dreaming,
Even when we close our eyes
Driving in the sin has never been better with you by my side
Spend a day in the room, playing our records, keeping in tune
(REPEAT CHORUS)
With you..only you

Getting Better
02:22
|
|

|
Won’t you come outside, it’s nice and warm
Feeling satisfied, let’s go for a ride
It’s getting better each day
Won’t you come with me, it’s a good day for a walk
Reading books and things could wait for a while
It’s getting better each day
CHORUS:
When the sun is shining bright, we watch its glow
Jolly tunes, the hit parade. A perfect sunny day
BRIDGE:
It’s just not the same when you’re not around
It’s a feeling I can’t explain.
Come here and hold my hand, let’s sit close to the park
Singing songs while drawing lines, it’s not like we’re wasting time
It’s getting better each day
(REPEAT CHORUS 2X)
It’s getting better each day.

Pieces Of Our Love
02:17
|
|
||
|
Tryin' to find the pieces of our love but I can’t, no I can’t.
Tryin' to find the pieces of our love but I can’t, no I can’t.
(Since you left me boy) I’ve been better.
(Made me feel in fine) I found shelter.
(Since you left me boy) It’s been greater.
I’m feeling fine.

You don’t need to worry, stop feeling sorry,
We can make it happen.
Please don’t feel so weary, it’s bringing me down.
You can stop your weeping,
So we can start dreaming of happy things to do.
Look, your eyes are dreary, they’re draggin’ me down.
CHORUS:
Let’s start talkin’ ‘bout something good.
You can take away all your fears.
Don’t cry baby, I’ll be there for you.
BRIDGE:
You never believe at this thing called love.
But I can show a lot of things to you.
You never get what I’m thinking of.
But I can really show you, we can make it all work out.
Please don’t take for granted, the love that we have started.
The stars are now aligned.
There’s no need to doubt it, stop feeling down.
REPEAT CHORUS
CODA:
I’ll be there for you...

By Your Side
03:18
|
|
||
|
On our way. It’s a lovely day.
Off to shore. The climate’s warm.
Out of place. Seeking space.
The mystery ends. I want more.
CHORUS:
Sometimes I’m in the mood for star signs.
And I’m counting all the days when I’m gonna be by your side.
The colors fade yesterday.
No need to wait. Just jump right in.
So it seems like a dream,
Under trees of Tangerine.
REPEAT CHORUS
CODA:
Sometimes I’m in the mood for star signs.
And I’m counting all the days when I’m gonna be by your side.
