I'm In Love With You (Steve Forbert)

 <The Best of Steve Forbert>

 

I’m in love with you

Take me up shake me out and hang me on your line

I’m a fool for you

I looked up saw you smile then I saw your eyes

I’m in love with you

You too much for me

I’m a worn out sail on a sidewalk sea

There’s a light there’s a fire shining day and night

It came burning through

Shine on me shine on down keep me high and dry

I’m in love with you

You too much for me

I’m a worn out sail on a sidewalk sea

Too many faces breakin’ aces half into

Sun rises in scarlet singin’ further down and blue

I’m on a sidewalk

They’re agin’ and angry

Maybe it’s too many morning waking lonely calling you

Time goes by

You break 

You don’t know what to do

I looked up saw you smile

I know I’m not so strong

Know I’m in love with you

You too much for me

I’m a worn out sail on a sidewalk sea

Yes la la la la la la la la la la

Right Here Waiting (Richard Marx)

<Repeat Offender> 

Right Here Waiting

Oceans apart day after day

And I slowly go insane

I hear your voice on the line

But it doesn’t stop the pain

If I see you next to never

How can we say forever

* Wherever you go whatever you do

I will be right here waiting for you

Whatever it takes

Or how my heart breaks

I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted all the times

That I thought would last somehow

I hear the laughter I taste the tears

But I can’t get near you now

** Oh can’t you see it baby

You’ve got me going crazy

* Repeat

I wonder how we can survive this romance

But in the end if I’m with you I’ll take the chance

** Repeat

* Repeat

Waiting for you

Sitting on the Dock of the Bay (Otis Redding)

<The Very Best of Otis Redding>

Sitting on the Dock of the Bay

Sitting in the morning sun
I’ll be sitting when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
And I watch ‘em roll away again

{Refrain}
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I’m just sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the ‘Frisco bay
‘Cause I had nothing to live for
And looks like nothing’s gonna come my way

So I’m just...
{Refrain}

Looks like nothing’s gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can’t do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I’ll remain the same

Sittin’ here resting my bones
And this loneliness won’t leave me alone
It’s two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home

Now, I’m just...
{Refrain}

(Whistle)

Midnight Train to Georgia (Glady Nights and the Pips)

Midnight train to Georgia

L.A. proved too much for the man (too much for the man) (he couldn’t make it)

So he’s leaving the life he’s come to know (he said he’s going)

He said he’s going back to find (going back to find)

What’s left of his world, the world he left behind, not so long ago

He’s leaving (leaving) on that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on a midnight train)

Oh yeah, he said he’s going back (going back to find)

To a simpler place and time (and when he takes that ride)

Yes he is (guess who’s gonna be right by his side) I’ll be with him (I know you will)

On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on a midnight train to Georgia) (whoo whoo)

I’d rather live in his world (live in his world)

Than live without him in mine (world, world) (it’s his, his and hers alone)

He kept dreaming (dreaming) whoo that some day he’d be a star (s superstar but he didn’t get far)

But he sure found out the hard way

That dreams don’t always come true (dreams don’t always come true)   Oh no (uh uh no uh uh)

So he sold all his hopes and he even sold his own car

And bought a one way ticket back to the life he once knew

Oh yes he did, he said he would

I know he’s leaving (leaving) on that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on a midnight train)

Oh yeah, he said he’s going back to find (going back to find)

Oh a simpler place and time (and when he takes that ride)

Oh, yeah (guess who’s gonna be right by his side) I’m gonna be with him (I know you will)

On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on the midnight train to Georgia) (whoo whoo)

I’d rather live in his world (live in his world)

Than live without him in mine (world, world) (it’s his, his and hers alone)

Whoo, he’s leaving (leaving) on a midnight train to Georgia (leaving on a midnight train)

Oh yeah, he said he’s going back to find (he’s going back to find)

A simpler place and time (and when he takes that ride) (guess who’s gonna be right by his side)

I’ve got to be with him (I know you will)

On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on a midnight train to Georgia) (whoo whoo)

I’d rather live in his world (live in his world) than live without him in mine

(world, world) (is his, his and hers alone) (world is his) (his and hers alone)

(all aboard) (one world) (her man, his girl)

I’ve got to go (all aboard) I’ve got to go (one world) I’ve got to go (her man, his girl)

I’ve got to go (all aboard) I’ve got to go (one world) I’ve got to go right now (her man, his girl)

(all aboard) (one world) (her man, his girl) (all aboard) (one world) (her man, his girl)

Eternity (Dreams Come True)

Eternity

I knew that we belong together

Long before I knew your name

And the only thing I long for

Was a sign to prove you felt the same

Somehow I knew your every secret

Just looking in your eyes

From the very moment I met you

I was thinking of the rest of our lives

Just say to me

* I’m gonna love you till the end of time

Somehow two hearts have made a friend of time

Eternity, eternity is all I sigh

I’m not afraid to say forever

You have made me feel so sure

’Cuz I know it’s ever lasting

And I never had this feeling before

Keep telling me

* Repeat

Eternity, I love you for eternity

Caught in the tide and it brought me to you

Under a spell and now I know that dreams come true

* Repeat 3X

Eternity, I’ll love you for eternity
