Killing Me Softly With His Song
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his
words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly
With his song...
I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And
so I came to see him and listen for awhile
And there he was this young boy
A stranger to my eyes...
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his
words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly
With his song...
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I
felt he found my letters and read each one out loud
I pray that he would
finish
But he just kept right on...
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his
words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly
With his song...
He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then
he looked right through me as if I was not there
And he just kept on singing,
Singing clear and strong...
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his
words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly
With his song...
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his
words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly
With his song...
He was strumming my pain
Yeah he was singing my life
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my
whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song...
Back Together Again
Seems we've weathered
Hard times we've been through
In
silence I've waited
I missed you (I missed you too)
'Cause you, you and I back together again
Got the world in
a spin
'Cause you, you and I back together again
Got the world in a spin
It's all come together
Problems we've defeated
And I'm
in here out in hell
You take all that I got and you need it , baby
'Cause you, you and I-I-I back together
Got the world in a
spin
You, you and I-I-I back together
Got the world in a spin
Love will last forever (Forever)
We can make it real (Got
to be real)
Say you'll leave me never (No, no, never)
We can truly feel
(What you feel)
I feel like you
Back together
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Younger and wiser
Time has shown the way
We've come full
circle
To stay (Baby)
'Cause you, you and I-I-I back together again
Got the world
in a spin
'Cause you, you and I-I-I back together again
Got the world in a
spin
Truth is the light
It's the joy that we both share
Make
love day and night
It's so easy to do when you care
Love will last forever (Forever)
We can make it real (Got
to be real)
Say you'll leave me never (No, no, never)
We can truly feel
(What you feel)
I feel like you
Back together

Doo doo doo doo yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh,

Back together again
Tenderly
The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly
The
trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly
Then you and I came wandering by
And lost in a sigh were we
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly
I can't
forget how two hearts met breathlessly
Your arms opened wide and closed me
inside
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly
I can't
forget how two hearts met breathlessly
And your arms opened wide and closed
me inside
You took my lips, you took my love
You took my lips, you took my
love so tenderly
Set The Night To Music
Look at all the stars tonight
Look at all the moonlight
Look at us were all alone.
Oh and just like a dream
Like some romantic
fantasy
Darling come and hold me close.
We could be making love
And
with the slightest touch
We could
Set the night to music, we could
Set the night to music, we
could
Do what we want to do
It'll only take me and you
To set the night
to music.
Well find a rhythm all our own
Melt into it nice and slow
Love ourselves away from here.
Log on to kill this message.
Your heart
beating next to mine
Perfect love in perfect time
Watch the world, just
disappear.
This moment is our to take
And with the love we make
We
could
This moment is ours to take
And with the love we make
And with the slightest touch
We could
Tonight I Celebrate My Love
Tonight I celebrate my love for you
It seems the natural
thing to do
Tonight no one's gonna find us
We'll leave the world behind
us
When I make love to you
Tonight I celebrate my love for you
And hope that deep
inside you'll feel it too
Tonight our spirits will be climbing
To a sky filled up
with diamonds
When I make love to you, tonight
Tonight I celebrate my love for you
And that midnight sun
is gonna come shining through
Tonight there'll be no distance between us
What I want most
to do, is to get close to you, tonight
Tonight I celebrate my love for you
And soon this old world
will seem brand new
Tonight we will both discover how friends turn into lovers
When I make love to you
Tonight I celebrate my love for you
And the midnight sun is
gonna come shining through
Tonight there'll be no distance between us
What I want most
to do, is to get close to you
Tonight I celebrate my love for you
Tonight
Making Love
Here... close to our feeling... we touch again.... we love
again
Remember when we thought our hearts would never mend?
And we're all
the better for each other
There's more to love, I know...than making love
Here... no more confusion
We see our lives, We live our
lives
Remember when we thought we never would survive?
But now neither one
of us is breaking
There's more to love, I know...than making love
Somethings never change
Somethings sometimes do
And now I'm feeling strong enough to let you in
And now
neither one of us is breaking
Knowing now that there's more to love...than
making love
And I remember you.....and making love
And I remember you...
And I remember you...oooo
And I
remember you
And I remember you...ooo
Gone Away
I try to reason and I tell myself you'll return
But you are
gone and I know, I know, I know you're gone
You were mine for only a minute
and if I hurt you I didn't intend it
You are gone away, I keep telling my mind
You're not gonna
stay
Yet I believe sometimes that I've lost you, baby
I've lost you, baby
and you are gone
Forgive and forget it, that's not what I'll ask you to do
'Cause I want you back, you know, you know I want you back
And in concluding
my mental displeasure
I found I've lost my prize possession
You are gone away, I keep telling my mind
You're not gonna
stay
Yet I believe sometimes that I've lost you, baby
I've lost you, baby
and you are gone
You were mine for only a minute and if I hurt you I didn't
intend it
You are gone away, I keep telling my mind
You're not gonna stay
Yet I believe sometimes I've lost you, baby
I've lost you, baby and you are
gone
Just Like A Woman
Nobody feels any pain tonight as I stand inside the rain
Everybody knows baby's got new clothes
Lately I've shown my ribbons and my
bows
And my problems from my curls
And I take just like a woman
And I made love just like a
woman
And I ache just like a woman
I break up like a little girl
The Queen Mary is my friend, I believe I'll go and see her
again
Ain't nobody has to guess, the baby won't be blessed
Till she finds
out she's just like all the rest
With her problems, her amphetamines and her
pearls
She takes just like a woman
She makes love like a woman
And she aches just like a woman
She breaks up like a little girl
Oh, it was raining there at first
And I was dying there of
thirst
So I came in here
And a long time trust it hurts
But what's worse
Is this
pain in here, I can't stay in here
Ain't it clear?
Oh, I must admit I believe, it's time for us to quit
When
we meet again and we're introduced as friends
Please don't let on that you
knew me when
I was hungry for you and it was your world
I take just like a woman
And I make love just like a woman
And I ache just like a woman
And I break up like a little girl
Let It Be Me
I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me
Don't, don't ever leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me
Each time we meet love
I find complete love
But without
your sweet love
What would my life be
So don't, don't take this heaven from one
If you have to
cling to someone
Now and forever
Oh, let it be me
Each time, each time we meet love
I find complete love
But oh, without your sweet love
What would my life be?
Oh, don't, don't, don't take this heaven from one
If you
have to cling to someone
Now and forever, now and forever, now and forever
Let it be me, yeah
Ballad Of The Sad Young Men
Sing a song
Of sad young men
Glasses
Full of rye
All the news
Is bad again
Kiss your dreams
Goodbye
All the sad young men
Sitting in the bars
Drinking up
the night
Missing all the stars
All the sad young men
Drifting
Through the town
Drinking up the night
Trying not to drown
All the sad young men
Singing in the cold
Trying to
forget
That they are
Growing old
All the sad young men
Choking on their youth
Trying to
be brave
Running from the truth
Autumm turns
The leaves to gold
Slowly dies the heart
Sad young men
Are growing old
That's
The
cruelest part
All the sad young men
Seek a certain smile
Someone they
can hold
For just
A little while
Tired little girl
She does the best
That she can
Trying to be gay
For a sad young man
While a grimy moon
Blossoms up above
All the sad young
men
They play
At making love
Misbegotten moon
Shine
For sad young men
May your
gentle light
Guide them home again
All the sad
Sad sad young men
Something Magic
Warm memories, seems like so long ago
So young and so free,
how did we ever know?
That time would turn this into something magic
Love
is overflowing
Every moment, I'm more in love with you
When I first looked
in your eyes, I knew
I could never love anybody but you
When you look at me and wonder what's on my mind
It's so
plain to see, the answer's not hard to find
'Cause time has turned this into
something magic
Love is overflowing
Every moment, I'm more in love in you
When I first looked
in your eyes, I knew
I could never love anybody but you
Not another night will I spend gettin' lonely
Not another
day, feelin' lost and confused
Took another turn
Never thought I would
find what I found in you
It's taken some time but loving is worth the wait
Will I
see you smile? It brightens another day, yeah
'Cause time has turned this
into something magic
Love is overflowing
Every moment, I'm more in love with you
When I first looked
in your eyes, I knew
I could never love anybody but you
Woah, come to me lover
Every moment, I'm more in love with
you
When I first looked in your eyes, I knew
I could never love anybody
but you
But you
Love anybody but you
But you
I'll never love
anybody but you
