Why do birds suddenly appear, ev'ry time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be close to you.
Why do stars fall down from the sky, ev'ry time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be close to you.
* On the day that you were born the angels got together.
And decided to create a dream come true.
So, they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold,
And star-light in your eyes of blue.
That is why all the girls in town follow you all around.
Just like me , they long to be close to you...
Just like me.
They long to be.
Close to you.
Wow! Close to you.
Wow! Close to you.
Wow! Close to you.
Wow! Close to you.

Talk about love
How it makes life complete
You can talk all you want
Make it sound good and sweet,
But when the words have an empty ring,
Then they don't really mean a thing,
Without love You are not to be found;
You are not to be found.
For love is surrender,
You must surrender if you care,
You must surrender if you care.
Shout about love,
Then the wars will all end,
You can shout "we're all brothers,"
And even pretend,
But you can't cover up the past
Just pretending will never last,
Without love you are nothing at all,
Nothing at all.
Love is surrender,
You must surrender if you care,
You must surrender if you care.
Llove is surrender,
You must surrender if you care,
You must surrender if you care.
Maybe it's you, maybe it's me
Maybe it's just the constant rhythm of the sea
Maybe it's just that I've never been the kind
Who can pass a lucky penny by
Maybe it's wise, maybe it's not
Maybe it's you who brought me caring I forgot
*Isn't it nice to talk about the special way
That you smile whenever I'm around
Rising on the shore the ocean came
Walks along the waves of velveteen
His only thought was love for me
Couldn't we stay, or must you go
Couldn't we stay and watch the splashing rocks we throw
Only a fool would want to leave the paradise
That I find whenever you're around
Only a fool
Repeat*

"Maybe It's You" wrote by Richard Carpenter,John Bettis,
This two tunes recorded in their second album "Close To You" at 1970,
If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied, straight-faced, while I cried
Still I'd look to find a reason to believe
Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give, never think of myself
If you took the time to change my mind
I'd find a way to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied, straight-faced, while I cried
Still I'd look to find a reason to believe
Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give, never think of myself
Song wrote by Tim Hardin,
This one recorded in their second album "Close To You" at 1970,
Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
We've got a lifetime to share
So much to say
And as we go
From day to day
I'll feel you close to me
But time alone will tell
Let's take a lifetime to say
"I knew you well"
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow
For all we know.
Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
Let's take a lifetime to say
"I knew you well"
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow
For all we know.

We've only just begun to live,
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way.
We've only begun.
Before the rising sun we fly,
So many roads to choose
We start out walking and learn to run.
And yes, We've just begun.
Sharing horizons that are new to us,
Watching the signs along the way,
Talking it over just the two of us,
Working together day to day
Together.
And when the evening comes we smile,
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow,
And yes, We've just begun.

One love in my young life
Took me somewhere I had never been
And I want to live again, breathe again
In the shelter of his brightly woven love song
So long I have wanted love to be
Sitting just this near to me
Now my waiting heart is free
*Few are the choices we are given
The sands of time pass quickly by
One dream of my young life
Now stands holding out his hand to me
Now I can’t help but believe that my whole life will be
Spent in one love
Repeat *
Spent in one love
Spent in one love

Green September
Burned to October brown
Bare November
Led to December's frozen ground
The seasons stumbled round
Our drifting lives are bound
To a falling crescent noon
�
Feather clouds cry
A vale of tears to earth
Morning breaks and
No one sees the quiet mountain birth
Dressed in a brand new day
The sun is on its way
To a falling crescent noon
�
Somewhere in
A fairytale forest lies one
Answer that is waiting to be heard
�
�
You and I were
Born like the breaking day
All our seasons
All our green Septembers
Burn away
Slowly we'll fade into
A sea of midnight blue
And a falling crescent noon

Your wonderful parade
Moving through the towns and riding and till they fade
All the streets you pass have houses were you stayed
Your wonderful parade
Your daily masquerade
Is a mask behind which mistakes you have made
Crumble down the fine foundation that you've laid
Your daily masquerade
* Stand in line
Try to climb
Meet your wife at cocktail time
Surely you should try and choose a better way to fall
Your marvelous charade
Never figure out the prices that you've paid
Life is just a part of every game you play
Your marvelous charade
(*Repeat refrain)
Your marvellous charade
Never figure out the price that you've paid
Life is Just a part of every game you play
Your marvellous charade
Your marvellous charade
Your wonderful parade
"Benediction"
Lyrics
Unto you,
With a
Voice of love,
For the
Sound we sing,
An offering.
