STRIPPED BALLADS - SONYA KAHN
LYRICS
WHAT ARE YOU DOING THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
Author: Music Michel Legrand, Lyrics Alan and Marilyn Bergman
What are you doing the rest of your life?
North and South and East and West of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me
All the seasons and the times of your days
All the nickels and the dimes of your days
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days
All begin and end with me
I want to see your face in every kind of light
In fields of dawn and forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love that you keep in your eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two
Through all of my life
Summer, winter, spring, and fall of my life
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you
I HAVE NOTHING
Author: David Foster and Linda Thompson
Share my life, take me for what I am
Cause I'll never change all my colors for you
Take my love, I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are and everything that you do
I don't really need to look very much further
I don't want to have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
Can't run from myself, there's nowhere to hide
Well, don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you
You see through, right to the heart of me
You break down my walls with the strength of your love
I never knew love like I've known it with you
Will a memory survive, one I can hold on to
I don't really need to look very much further
I don't want to have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
I can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
Your love I'll remember forever
Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me...
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
Well, don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me, no
Don't walk away from me
Don't you dare walk away from me
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you
NEW YORK STATE OF MIND
Author: Billy Joel
Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach
Or to Hollywood
But I'm taking a Greyhound
On the Hudson River Line
I'm in a New York state of mind
I've seen all the movie stars
In their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens
But I know what I'm needing
And I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a New York state of mind
It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times and The Daily News
It comes down to reality
And it's fine with me cause I've let it slide
I don't care if it's Chinatown or up on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
Cause I left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind
A SONG FOR YOU
Author: Leon Russell
I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs and I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be,
I've treated you unkindly but darling can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Baby can't you see through me
Cause we are alone now and I'm singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the true love, withholding nothing
You came out in front when I was hiding
But now I'm so much better so if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life, cause you're a friend of mine
And when my life is over, remember when we were together
Cause were alone and I was singing my song for you
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I've loved you for my life, you're a friend of mine
And when my life is over, remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing my song for you,
We were alone and I was singing this song for you,
We were alone and I was singing my song,
Singing my song, singing my song, singing my song
For you…
