1. Your Smiling Face

   Your Smiling Face

   X

   ---

   Whenever I see your smiling face
   I have to smile myself
   Because I love you
   And when you give me that pretty little pout
   It turns me inside out
   There’s something about you, baby
   I don’t know

   Isn’t it amazing a man like me
   Can feel this way
   Tell me how much longer
   If it grows stronger every day
   Oh, how much longer

   I thought I was in love a couple of times before
   With the girl next door
   But that was long before I met you
   Now I’m sure that I won’t forget you

   And I thank my lucky stars
   That you are who you are
   And not just another lovely lady
   Sent down to break my heart

   Isn’t it amazing a man like me
   Can feel this way
   Tell me how much longer
   If it grows stronger every day, yeah
   How much longer?

   No one can tell me that I’m doing wrong today
   Whenever I see you smile at me
   No one can tell me that I’m doing wrong today
   Whenever I see your smiling face my way

   No one can tell me that I’m doing wrong today
   No one can tell me that I’m doing wrong today

2. There We Are

   There We Are

   Listen to me and I’ll sing you a song
   And the time will go by
   ‘Til you never know where it’s gone
   Talk to me and I’ll tell you my life story
   Walk with me and I’ll tell you my dreams of glory

   There we are
   Walking hand in hand
   Somewhere on the sand
   At the end of the land
   And the edge of the shining sea

   Drifting through time and space
   On the face of a little blue ball
   Falling around the sun
   One in a million, billion, twinkling lights
   Shining out for no one
   In the middle of the night

   Here we are
   Sparks in the darkness
   Speaking of our love
   Burning down forever and forever

   Oh I don’t know if I told you
   But you hold my heart in your hand
   And I found out something about you
   Baby, without you
   I’m a lonely man

   So though I never say that I love you
   I love you
   Darling I do
   Carly, I do love you
   And though we are as nothing
   To the stars that shine above
   You are my universe
   You are my love

   Here we are
   Like children forever
   Taking care of one another
   While the world goes on without us
   All around us

3. Honey Don’t Leave L.A.

   Honey Don’t Leave L.A.

   That limousine
   In which you made the scene
   Suits you to a tee
   If all that you want to be
   Is somebody that don’t never walk, nothin’

   That big chateau
   Where you wanna go
   In the south of France
   Gonna end our big romance
   Don’t you do it

   Honey don’t leave L.A.
   That Riviera is so far away
   Begging you s’il vous plait
   S’il vous plait, baby
   They don’t know nothing down in St. Tropez
   But I say
   Baby don’t leave L.A.

   I heard it said that you had it made
   With your movie star
   But, oh, how right you are
   If that’s really ’bout the best
   You can do, bitch, come on
   You moved my soul
   So I played the role
   Of your back door man
   Yes and now I can’t really complain
   ‘Cause I love you

   Honey don’t leave L.A.
   That Riviera is so far away
   Begging you s’il vous plait
   Begging you, baby
   They don’t know nothing down in St. Tropez
   Tres beauvais
   Mama don’t leave L.A.

   No, no, no, no, no
   Mama, don’t you drop
   Out of sight on me, now
   That Riviera so far away
   Begging you s’il vous plait
   C’est vrai, baby
   They don’t know nothing down in St. Tropez
   But I mean
   Mama, don’t you leave
   Baby, don’t you leave L.A.

4. Another Grey Morning

   Another Grey Morning

   X

   ---

   When I feel as though my love is sinking down
   The sun doesn’t want to shine
   When it feels like she won’t face another day
   Life is unkind
   She’s frozen in time

   And here comes another grey morning
   A not so good morning after all
   She says “well, what am I to do today
   With too much time and so much sorrow”

   She hears the baby waking up downstairs
   She hears the foghorn calling out across the sound
   Repetition in the morning air
   Is just too much to bear
   And no one seems to care
   If another day goes creeping by
   Empty and ashamed
   Like an old unwanted memory
   That no one will claim
   The clouds with their heads on the ground
   She’s gonna have to come down

   She said “move me, move me
   I’m locked up inside”
   Well, I didn’t understand her
   Though God knows I tried
   She said “make me angry
   But just make me cry
   But no more grey morning
   I think I’d rather die”

5. Bartender’s Blues

   Bartender’s Blues

   Now I’m just a bartender, and I don’t like my work, but I don’t mind the money at all.
   I see lots of sad faces and lots of bad cases of folks with their backs to the wall.
   But I need four walls around me to hold my life, to keep me from going astray,
   and a honky-tonk angel to hold me tight to keep me from slipping away.

   I can light up your smokes, I can laugh at your jokes,
   I can watch you fall down on your knees.
   I can close down this bar, I can gas up my car, I can pack up and mail in my key.
   But I need four walls around me to hold my life, to keep me from going astray,
   and a honky-tonk angel to hold me tight to keep me from slipping away.

   Now, the smoke fills the air in this honky-tonk bar
   and I’m thinking ’bout where I’d rather be.
   But I burned all my bridges, I sank all my ships and I’m stranded at the edge of the sea.
   But I need four walls around me to hold my life, to keep me from going astray,
   and a honky-tonk angel to hold me tight to keep me from slipping away.

   Secret O’ Life

   Well the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time.
   Any fool can do it,
   There ain’t nothin’ to it.
   Nobody knows how we got to the top of the hill.
   But since we’re on our way down,
   We might as well enjoy the ride.

   The secret of love is in opening up your heart.
   It’s okay to feel afraid,
   But don’t let it stand in your way, No now.
   Cuz everyone knows that love is the only road.
   And since we’re only here for awhile,
   We might as well show some style,
   Give us a smile now,

   (Chorus)
   Isn’t it a lovely ride?
   Sliding down, and
   Gliding down, and
   Try not to try too hard.
   It’s just a lovely ride.

   The thing about time is that time isn’t really real.
   It’s all on your point of view,
   How does it feel to you in there, and
   Einstein said that you could never understand it all.
   Planets spinning through space,
   The smile upon your face,
   Welcome to the human race,

   (Chorus)

   Isn’t that a lovely ride,
   Oh la la yes,
   See me sliding down and gliding down,
   Try not to try too hard,
   It’s just a lovely ride.

   Now the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time…

   I Was Only Telling a Lie

   Got the one room suite in the downtown motel
   Got a lovely view
   Classic shot of the parking lot
   An off ramp of route 72

   Half flat six pack of lukewarm beer
   So lay down by my side
   Like to whisper sweet nothings in my filthy ear
   ‘Til I’m satisfied

   Baby-bootie, juicy-fruity, truck-stop cutie, roadside-beauty
   I’m in love with you
   Hope it don’t last too long

   You got the mackerel eyes
   Brought the side of fries
   You got me hypnotized
   I’m in love again

   Now baby when I told you that
   I love you
   I was only telling a lie
   I’ll be long gone come the crack of dawn
   And I believe the word is
   Good-bye, bye baby, bye, bye

   I was only telling a lie
   There ain’t no need to act like I
   Shot your dog, no
   I was only telling a lie
   Lie, lie, lie, lie…

9. Looking For Love On Broadway

   Looking For Love On Broadway

   X

   ---

   Need a reason to be here
   Hoping to find it tonight
   Walking alone on Broadway
   Watching the people
   Watching the town go down
   Broadway’s a river to me
   Fat fish in the big city sea
   Taxi cabs, limousines, submarines

   Got my mind on a sweet dream
   Keeping an eye on this street scene
   ‘Cause I’m open for love
   In the middle of town tonight
   Had my fill of self-pity
   I brought all my blues to the city
   Guess I’m pressing my lucky
   In the middle of town tonight
   See me waiting on you to smile back on me
   Child

   It looks like tomorrow
   It seems like the end of a dream
   Dawning on me on Broadway
   In the morning light it’s a dream
   And I’m just a fool
   Looking for love on Broadway

    Oh, end this day, show me the ocean. When shall I see the sea?
    May this day set me in emotion, I ought to be on my way
    We were there, we were sailing on the terra nova
    Sailing for the setting sun, sailing for the new horizon
    May this day show me an ocean, I ought to be on my way

    Ought to be on my way right now
    Stepping on the boat with a lump in my throat, on my way right now

    I got a letter from a dear friend of mine
    The story of a spiritual awakening
    She spoke of her love returning in kind
    She let me know that she’d be waiting
    And I should be on my way by now
    Walking across the floor, reaching for the door
    On my way by now

    But here I sit, country fool that I am
    My elbow on my knee and my chin in my hand
    My mind in the gutter and my eye on the street
    Holed up in a cave of concrete

    And I ought to be on my way right now
    Packing my things while the telephone rings, on my way right now

    I miss my lovely mother and I love my lonely father
    I know i owe my brothers one thing and another
    I hear my sister singing

    And I ought to be on my way right now
    Moving across the land with my heart in my hand, on my way by now
    Ought to be on my way by now

    Oh, end this day, set me in motion. Ought to be on my way
    Out to the west of lambert’s cove, there’s a sail out in the sun
    And I’m on board though very small
    I’ve come home to stop yearning
    Burn off the haze around the shore, turn off the crazy way I feel
    I’ll stay away from you no more, I’ve come home to stop yearning

11. Traffic Jam

    (Chorus)
    Damn this traffic jam
    How I hate to be late
    It hurts my motor to go so slow
    Damn this traffic jam
    Time I get home my supper’ll be cold
    Damn this traffic jam

    Well I left my job about 5 o’clock
    It took fifteen minutes go three blocks
    Just in time to stand in line
    With a freeway looking like a parking lot

    – Chorus –

    Now I almost had a heart attack
    Looking in my rear view mirror
    I saw myself the next car back
    Looking in the rear view mirror
    ‘Bout to have a heart attack
    I said

    – Chorus –

    Now when I die I don’t want no coffin
    I thought about it all too often
    Just strap me in behind the wheel
    And bury me with my automobile

    – Chorus –

    Damn…

    Now I used to think that I was cool
    Running around on fossil fuel
    Until I saw what I was doing
    Was driving down the road to ruin

12. If I Keep My Heart Out Of Sight

    If I Keep My Heart Out Of Sight

    If I keep on talking now
    I’ll only start repeating myself
    And all I can say is
    I love you
    I love you
    I love you
    I love you

    If I slip and tip my hand
    I’m certain to scare you away
    Then what would I say
    I’d be hurting I’m certain
    I’d be uncool to let you know that you’re the one
    The fool who jumped the gun

    ‘Cause I’ve been advised by other guys
    You’ve left behind
    Your goodbyes are somewhat unrefined
    But if I play my role just right
    Tonight could be my lucky night
    And you could be mine

    If I present it to you
    With a flower in the moonlight
    Shiny and new
    Well, you couldn’t say no tonight
    If I keep my heart out of sight

    If I play my role just right
    Then Tonight could be my lucky night
    And you could be mine

    If I present it to you
    With a flower in the moonlight
    Oh, shiny and new
    Well, you couldn’t say no tonight
    If I keep my heart out of sight
