Track 3
Delightful
I think you're so delightful
So just give me an eye full
And soon I think you'll understand
So really why do I miss you
It's been five minutes since we talked
I think it's an issue
But god, I really wish you'd call
I just keep checking the time, I say
But we both know that's not what I'm doing
Why do I want you to be here?
I saw you not too long ago
It's seeming to me, dear
That I can't stand to see you go
I just keep checking the time, I say
But we both know that's not what I'm doing
I think you're so delightful
So just give me an eye full
And soon I think you'll understand
I get this feeling through me
When you're delightful to me
Now darling let me hold your hand
You know as long as I have you
Have you by my side
You know I'll never ever have to
See a cloudy sky
Though the days may get rainy
I'll see the sun shining bright
As long as I have you
I know I'll be alright
Don't worry, we've got the rest of our lives
Don't hurry, we've got the rest of our lives
Don't worry, we've got the rest of our lives
Don't hurry, we've got the rest of our lives
Don't worry, we've got the rest of our lives
Don't hurry, we've got the rest of our lives
Track 4
Goodbye Midnight
Goodbye midnight, hello sunlight
I forgive for being gone
Since your sunset, I've laid in bed
Waiting for you to unveil the dawn
Dreams are nightmares
When no light's there
Daylight helps to forget yesterday
Goodbye starlight, see the sunrise
Washing over the desolate plain
Green and yellow fill the meadow
Once your light hits their petals again
Night brings breezes
Snow and freezes
Morning sunshine melts all that away
Track 5
My Favorite Sweater
I wanna say I really love you
I wanna say I'm thinking of you
I wish could but it wouldn't be true
Cos I love my favorite sweater more than you
I wanna say I'd like to be there
I wanna say I really do care
But lying is the last thing I would want to do
Cos I love my favorite sweater more than you
You'd guess it eventually from the way I act
You say that you love me, but I don't say it back
I wanna say I miss you dearly
I wanna say I need you near me
Oh, but I should have known from that first interview
That I love my favorite sweater more than you
I wanna show what you mean to me
And that I know you never knew me
So will you wake on up and finally come to
Girl, I love my favorite sweater more than you
Why do you not hear a single word I've said
I am an open book, and every page you've read
Oh, you don't wanna hear it, but it's true
Cos I love my favorite sweater more than you
Track 6
Keeping Score
Yeah I'm alright with what you're saying
It's nothing I've not heard before
I'll play the games you keep creating
Every day you're keeping score
Arriving soon with those flowers in your hair
Though your just out of tune melodies soar through the air
What a day, I'll just say, I'm tired
Yeah I'm a fool some time or other
That's something you'll just grow to love
After a spell I'll see in color
And you'll impel me kind of
No, I don't know where the finish line lies
But I feel at home when I look in your eyes
See me in you and I'm learning how to feel
Brightened the attitude, so far all but the ideal
What a day, I'll just say, I'm tired
Track 7
One of Us
I miss you, you're not her
Though she wishes you were
Maybe life would be easier then
So I must decorate
Paint a smile on my face
Day in day out, again and again
What I want, what I don't
What will happen? What won't?
I suppose I should see something through
So I need, to forget
And I do try but yet
When with her, all I think of is you
One of us has to go
Though which one, I don't know
Maybe someday we'll finally decide
One of us has to speak
In a day, in a week
Maybe I'll come to terms first and try
La la la la la la la la lie
And as much as I'd like
There's no camera, no lights
No acting, no set and no script
So the chances are naught
For the one thing I want
Which is you, and me, and a kiss
One of us has to go
Though which one, I don't know
Maybe someday we'll finally decide
One of us has to speak
In a day, in a week
Maybe I'll come to terms first and try
La la la la la la la la lie
I'm naive hoping I will end up being by your side
Cos you said no once before
And I doubt you'll change your mind for me, for me
One of us has to go
Though which one, I don't know
Maybe someday we'll finally decide
Track 8
Okay Today
I'd tell you I love you
If you'd understand
But I know you wouldn't
So, I'll keep my hands to myself
And I'll say I'm okay today
I see that you're going
With somebody else
And I just can't help that
I want you myself, but I'm well
Well at least I'm okay today
I can't figure out why I'm
Thinking about you right now
If I would let you know
Maybe the rest would fall out
But I think I'm okay today
I know that since day one
You've been in my head
I can't find the reason
that I've been upset about this
But I know I'm okay today
I can't figure out why I'm
Thinking about you right now
If I would let you know
Maybe the rest would fall out
But I think I'm okay today
Track 9
The Right Thing
I want you to do the right thing
And I know these are confusing times
But I, I see you smiling
I'd like to think that's it's cos you and I
Go so well together
I don't know, what's the right thing?
These really are confusing times
I hate that goodbye thing
But it may be what we need if you and I
Don't go well together
But if you don't see the need, believe me
We don't need to be together anymore
As much as I want to be
Just do the right thing
Now I won't sugarcoat
A single thing I say
But you already know
That I'm just not okay
I want you to do the right thing
And I know these are confusing times
But I love, to see you smiling
I'd like to think that's it's cos you and I
Go so well together
You and I go so well together
Track 10
It's Time
Spending my time with you is something I missed
I insist we do this a little more
We still do what we do, you're you, I am me, so I see
You might be the girl next door
Too close to perfect, the world's on your side
I know that one day you'll fly
So, what if I told you what's been on my mind
But when it's time
Reason would say to us that something is there
As I stare, I can barely agree
Floating away, it was too good to be true, for I knew
Me and you would never be
You've got the fairness, the beauty, the pride
Every virtue you'll find
I'd like to elaborate on what's in my mind
But when it's time
Track 11
Everybody's Got Something to Say
People say I'm going crazy
I think I'm going insane
But the way everyone talks to me lately
I have a reason to blame
Something inside isn't right, now
I wish I knew what it was
I just need some kind of bullet to bite, now
Or you could just use a gun
Everybody's got, got something they wanna say
Alright, now
It's cloudy o'er San Francisco
They're getting ready for rain
They're boarding up every visible window
And not letting in anything
Everybody's got, got something they wanna say
Alright, now, woo
Well let me tell you now
Everybody's got, got something they wanna say
Track 12
Are You Missing Me Now?
The good times and bad times
They all run together
And now it's just you in my mind
The days pass, the years pass
It's hard to remember
The reason I left you behind
It's been so long
Since I've seen you around
Did you stay, did you move outta town
It's been so long
Life is up, life is down, I wonder
Are you missing me now
I said Hey, are you missing me now
The feelings, the heartache
It all felt so real
But what happened when time grabbed our hands
We've grown up, got new clothes
So, if wounds have healed
Then just why still don't I understand
It's been so long
Since I've seen you around
Did you stay, did you move outta town
It's been so long
Life is up, life is down, I wonder
Are you missing me now
I said Hey, are you missing me now
I said Hey, are you missing me now
Track 13
Who You Were
I said I loved the girl you were
But now I can't seem to find her
I thought I knew your attitude
But something's new with you
You're not who you were, no, no no
You're not who you were, no, no no
I don't know how this came to be
But you just aren't the same, you see
You've changed your style and how you smile
By about a mile or two
You're not who you were, no, no no
You're not who you were, no, no no
Darling, believe me when I say
The girl you seemed to be has left and gone away
So girl, were you being sincere
Those words you whispered in my ear
Just take a glance at our romance
The circumstance is true
You're not who you were, no, no no
You're not who you were, no, no no
You're not who you were, oh no, oh no
You're not who you were, no, no
Track 14
If We Change
You tell me when I'm wrong
Cos I have been all along
And I know you
You'll be there when I fall
Even if no one at all
Will try but you
I can't even ignore
All the thoughts outside my door
It's so hard to
When I do kick them away
They return from yesterday
I know it's you
But we said before that we won't but maybe
I spoke so I won't but I think quite daily
We could be together
Please don't go, I'll stay
I know that it's better
But would it be if we change?
When you are gone for now
I have time to think about
What I do please
But I seem to lose my thought
For the lights are turning off
I'll hide the need
But we said before that we won't but maybe
I spoke so I won't but I think quite daily
We could be together
Please don't go, I'll stay
I know that it's better
But would it be if we change?
Track 15
What's the Point?
I'll have you know, I've thought about it once before
I said I wouldn't anymore, but here I am again
I'll have you know, I'll never once go through with it
But even if I blew with it, it won't happen again
So what's the point in trying?
You won't make it anyhow
It feel I'm dying
To somehow find a way on out
The way it seems, my poor old dreams are coming to an end
And all that lasted's in the past or it was just pretend
And I'm glad you understand
You may be fooled, but don't look past my pretty face
It may be filled with love and grace
But might not be for long
You may be fooled, but you know all my qualities
You really put my mind at ease
But maybe not for long
So what's the point in trying?
You won't make it anyhow
It feel I'm dying
To somehow find a way on out
The way it seems, my poor old dreams are coming to an end
And all that lasted's in the past or it was just pretend
And I'm glad you understand
Track 16
Oh Boy! (Reprise)
(Doots and dweets)
Track 17
Rather Say Hello
We go together in so many ways
It gets so much better the longer that we stay
And no matter when you say goodbye
I won't pretend to not cry, cry, cry
Because you know I'd rather say hello
I'd rather say hello, hello
Hello, I'd rather say hello, hello
Nothing is finer than perfect harmony
Major or minor, whatever fits the key
And no matter when you have to leave
That is a sight I won't see, see, see
Cos if you go
You know I'll just say hello
I'd rather say hello, hello, hello
I'd rather say hello, hello, hello
I'd rather say hello
Hello, I'd rather say hello
