I’LL MEET YOU AT MIDNIGHT
A summer evening on the Champs Elysées
A secret rendezvous they planned for days
A sea of faces in a crowded café
The sound of laughter as the music plays

Jean Claude was s student at the université
Louise Marie was just a world away
He recalled the night they met was warm with laughter
the words were music as she turned away

I’ll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I’ll meet you at Midnight

Each cigarette will light a thousand faces
Each hour that passed seemded like a thousand years
Midnight was turning into empty spaces
The sound of laughter disappeared
I’ll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I’ll meet you at Midnight

But Jean-Claude, Louise Marie will never be.

A summer morning on the Champs Elysées
the empty tables of the street cafés
The sunlight melting through an open doorway
Jean-Claude is left to face another day

I’ll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I’ll meet you at Midnight

Oh, but Jean-Claude, Louise Marie will never be.

IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW HOW TO LOVE ME
A breathless drive on a downtown street
A motor bike ride in the midday heat
The dust hat hung from the desert skies
Run though we’d run, it still burned our eyes.
Oh yes we may walk on the wild side of life
And our movements traced by a stranger close by your side.
And in the shadows of a promise you can take my hand
And show me a way to understand

So if you think you know how to love me
And you think you know what I need
And if you really really want me to stay
You’ve got to lead the way
Yes if you think you know how to love me
And you think you can stand by me
And if you really really want me to stay
You’ve got to lead the way.
A reckless night in a nameless town
The we moved out of sight with a silent sound
A beach that wept with deserted waves
That’s where we slept, knowing we’d be safe
Now you may think you can walk on the wild, wild side with me
But there’s a lot I can learn and a lot that I’ve yet to see
You know you’ve got my life lying in your hands
It’s up to you to make me understand.

So if you think you know how to love me
And you think you know what I need
And if you really really want me to stay
You’ve got to lead the way
Yes if you think you know how to love me
And you think you can stand by me
And if you really really want me to stay
You’ve got to lead the way.

IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT
In the heat of the night when you know it ain’t right
But you do what you want to do.
You do what you feel but no one can feel like you.

In the summertime city ain’t it a pity
There’s so much to tie you down
You’re leaving tonight for somewhere you can’t be found

While down at the end of town
At a pool hall where they all hang around
You can hear them talking ‘bout girls they know
Talking ‘bout what they’re gonna do
Then you ask yourself: is this where you belong,
Is it right or is it wrong
And does it matter what’s right
In the heat of the night.

In the streets tonight under the neon lights
You’re searching for something new.
Nothing is real but no one could feel like you.

They say eagles fly in this red hot sky
But were they just passing through
Or did they look down and see what you found was true.

But still in the back of your mind
You’ve got something to believe in
But there’s so much to find
As the bright lights dim and the night closes in .
You thought everything has ended
But it’s yet to begin
And you ain’t see nothing yet
(but) what you see you won’t forget
You say
Why oh why did it take you so long to want something more
oh why did you never got off on this before
and here it is the life you’ve standing in front of you like an open door.

And you ask yourself: is this where you belong,
Is it right or is it wrong
And does it matter what’s right
In the heat of the night.

In the heat of the night when you know it ain’t right
But you do what you want to do.
You do what you feel but no one can feel like you.

IT’S YOUR LIFE
Who said the web of life is woven in a dream?
‘Cause your life is filled with dreams you can’t believe.
So the only way you live with it is acting ev’ry scene
And you play the part so well that you deceive

Now and again you find you ain’t got a friend
Who knows?
I come and I go
But it’s your life
It’s your life
That’s your life

Though the world is overcrowded you still found an empty place
And I know he leaves you helpless and confused
And your search for love has often left you starring into space
Just another broken heart so what’s the use?

How many times have I been so hard to find

You know
I come and I go
But it’s your life
It’s your life
That’s your life

How does it feel when he’s not around?
Can he be real when he can’t be found nowhere?

Who lit the flame upon the candle tonight?
And who let herself be led so easily?
And who let it burn until the early morning light
And in the early morning gave herself to me?

And so at last you know
That it’s your life
It’s your life
But it’s your life

It’s your life.......

JULIA
Julia you’re making me cry
Please wipe this tear from my eye
Ooh I love you
Give my life to you
Julia you’re making me cry
Oh Julia you’re making me cry

Julia you’re saying good-bye
Julia I’m asking you why
Ooh I love you
Give my life to you
Julia you’re saying good-bye
Oh Julia you’re saying good-bye

Oh please don’t go, I love you so,
I Don’t know what I’ll do,
Oh look at me, oh can’t you see,
I’m so in love with you.
Julia, oh Julia,
Julia oh my Julia

Julia you’re breaking my heart
Please can we make a new start
Ooh I love you
Give my life to you
Julia you’re breaking my heart
Oh Julia you’re breaking my heart

LAY BACK IN THE ARMS OF SOMEONE
If you want my sympathy
Just open your heart to me
You’ll get whatever you’ll ever need.
You think that’s too high for you
Oh but baby, I would die for you
When there’s nothing left you know where I’ll be.

Lay back in the arms of someone
Give in to the charms of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love.

So baby just call on me
When you want all of me
I’ll be your lover, I’ll be your friend.

And there’s nothing I won’t do
‘Cause baby I just live for you
With nothing to hide no need to pretend.

Lay back in the arms of someone
Give in to the charms of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love.

Oh I know you think that’s too high for you
Oh but baby, I would die for you
When there’s nothing left I’ll be with you.

Lay back in the arms of someone
Give in to the charms of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love.

LIGHT UP MY LIFE
Sadness has gone from the light in my eyes,
Will she be waiting,
Should I feel proud of the tears that I cried,
No hesitating.

Happiness sounds like the one I have lost, only to follow
Where in the world is the one that I've crossed,
Gone is tomorrow.

CHORUS
Light in my eyes,
Light up my face,
Light up my life, light up my life,
Light up my life, light up my life.

Feelings of fear all around someone's here,
Look all around me.
Could it be she rediscovering me,
Or did she see.
CHORUS

LIVERPOOL DOCKS
Once knew a man who thought he was another guy, he was livin' a lie.
He took a chance by roaming the streets in the night,
Till he learned how to fight.
He met trouble one night, another man with his wife
So he brought out his knife, didn't mean to take his life,
Now he's got to get away, hear him say:

CHORUS (first)
I'm going down to the Liverpool docks,
Try to hitch a ride, ain't gonna break no rocks.
And I never had a friend, I never needed one.
I'm going down to the silvery sea,
I'm gonna go some place where they won't find me.
And maybe I can go where I won't ever have to come back again.

He took his time, lived his life alone,
And his thoughts were his own.
He lived in a place he'd never heard of before,
In Block number four.
Then one night at his door, he stood facing the law.
On the paper he saw, what they wanted him for,
They're gonna take him back, and he said:

CHORUS (second)
I'm goin' back to Liverpool Docks,
Gonna take a ride, gonna break some rocks.
And I never had a friend, but I never needed one.
Take a ride on the silvery sea,
I'm gonna go some place where they won't find me.
And I don't wanna go 'cause I know that I'll never come back again.
CHORUS (first)

LIVING NEXT DOOR TO ALICE
Sally called when she got the word
She said I suppose you’ve heard
About Alice.

Well I rushed to the window, and I looked outside
I could hardly believe my eyes
As a big limousine rolled up into Alice’s drive.

Oh I don’t know why she’s leaving or where she’s gonna go
I guess she’s got her reasons but I just don’t want to know
‘cause for twenty-four years I’ve been living next door to Alice.

Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
to tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
Now I’ve got to get used to not living next door to Alice.

We grew up together, two kids in the park
We carved our initials deep in the bark
Me and Alice.

Now she walks through the door with her head held high
Just for a moment, I caught her eye
As a big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice’s drive.

Oh I don’t know why she’s leaving or where she’s gonna go
I guess she’s got her reasons but I just don’t want to know
‘cause for twenty-four years I’ve been living next door to Alice.

Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
to tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
Now I’ve got to get used to not living next door to Alice.

Sally called back and asked how I felt
And she said, hey I know how to help
Get over Alice.

She said, now Alice is gone, but I’m still here
You know I’ve been waiting for twenty-four years
And the big limousine disappeared.

I don’t know why she’s leaving or where she’s gonna go
I guess she’s got her reasons but I just don’t want to know
‘cause for twenty-four years I’ve been living next door to Alice.

Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
to tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
But I’ll never get used to not living next door to Alice.
No I’ll never get used to not living next door to Alice

MEXICAN GIRL
Juanita came to me last night, and she cried over and over
Ooh, Daddy, I love you, you know, and I think it’s the moonlight.
She looked so fine, well she looked alright, and she moaned
Ooh, Daddy, move over
Oh, Baby, you know what I like and I think it’s the moonlight
Made in Mexico, schooled in France, ooh la lovin’ she needed no teachin’
Oh man I can say international ways I believe in.

Mexican girl, don’t leave me alone
I got a heart as big as a stone
And I need you, believe me, to be here and love me tonight
Mexican girl, I want you to stay
You know my heart is longing to say
That as long as I live I will always remember the one that I called
My Mexican girl

Her skin was soft as the velvet sky and her hair it shone in the moonlight
And as the music did play, well the night turned to day, and I held her tight.

Then she looked at me with her dark brown eyes, and she whispered Hasta La Vista
Well, I don’t know what that means, but it sounded so good so I kissed her

My Mexican girl, don’t leave me alone
I got a heart as big as a stone
And I need you, believe me, to be here and love me tonight
Mexican girl, I want you to stay
You know my heart is longing to say
That as long as I live I will always remember the one that I called
My Mexican girl.
