She & Him - Classics Lyrics






Stars Fell on Alabama

We lived our little drama
We kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama
Last night

I can't forget the glamor
Your eyes held a tender light
While stars fell on Alabama
Last night

I never planned in my imagination
A situation so heavenly
A fairy land where no one else could enter
And in the center just you and me

My heart beat like a hammer
My arms wound around you tight
And stars fell on Alabama
Last night

We lived our drama
We kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama
Last night

I can't forget the glamor
Your eyes held a tender light
And stars fractured 'Bama
Last night

I never planned in my imagination
A situation so heavenly
A fairy land where no one else could enter
And in the center just you and me

My heart beat just like a hammer
Arms wound around you tight
While stars fell on Alabama
Last night

Oh No, Not My Baby

When my friends told me you had someone new
I didn't believe a single word was true
I showed them all, I had faith in you
I just kept on saying

Oh no, not my baby
Oh no, not my sweet baby
You're not like those other guys
Who lead you on and tell you lies

My mama told me when rumors spread
There's truth somewhere and I should use my head
But I didn't listen to what she said
I just kept on saying

Oh no, not my baby
Oh no, not my sweet baby
You're not like those other boys
Who play with hearts like they were toys

You and I, we got a special thing
We go together just like summer and spring
They're all jealous of the love you bring
And I'm gonna keep on saying

Oh no, not my baby
Oh no, not my sweet baby
Oh no, not my baby
Oh no, not my sweet baby

Oh no, not my baby
Not my babe
Not my baby
Not my sweet baby

Oh no, not my baby
Not my baby
My baby
Not my sweet baby, oh no

It's Not for Me to Say

It's not for me to say, you love me
It's not for me to say, you'll always care
Oh.. but here for the moment
I can hold you fast
And press your lips to mine
And dream that love will last

As far as I can see, This is heaven
And speaking just for me, It's ours to share
Perhaps the glow of love will grow
With every passing day
Or we may never meet again
But then it's not for me to say

And speaking just for me
It's ours to share
Perhaps the glow of love will grow
With every passing day
Or we may never meet again
But then it's not for me to say

Stay Awhile

Stay awhile, let me hold you
Stay awhile til I've told you, oh, oh
Of the love that I feel tonight, oh yeah

Stay awhile, what's your hurry?
Stay awhile 'cause I worry, oh
Any time that youre out of sight

I hate to see you go
Tell you what I'll do, I'll be good to you
I'll make you glad that you are mine
So come on baby

Treat me right, must you run now?
For the nights just begun now, oh
Honey please, won't you stay awhile with me?
Oh yeah, yeah

Oh, I hate to see you go
Tell you what I'll do, I'll be good to you
I'll make you glad that you are mine
So come on baby

Treat me right, must you run now?
For the nights just begun now, oh
Honey please, won't you stay awhile with me?
Oh yeah, yeah stay awhile with me

This Girl's in Love with You

You see this girl
This girl's in love with you
Yes I'm in love
Who looks at you the way I do?
When you smile I can tell
We know each other very well
How can I show you
I'm glad I got to know you?

Yes, I've heard it said
They say you think I'm fine
Yes I'm in love
And what I'd do to make you mine
Tell me now
Is it so?
Don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking
Don't let my heart keep breaking

'Cause I need your love
Oh, yes I do
(I want your love)
Baby I need it
(Say you're in love)
In love with this girl
If not, I'll just die

Ah, tell me now
Is it so?
Don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking
Don't let my heart keep breaking

I need your love
Oh, yes I do
(I want your love)
Some of your loving
(Say you're in love)
In love with this girl
If not, I'll just die

Time After Time

Lyin' in my bed I hear the clock tick
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion
Is nothing new
Flashback warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcase of memories
Time after

Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me I can't hear
What you've said
Then you say go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness
Has turned to gray
Watching through windows
You're wondering if I'm okay
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

You said go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

She

She may be the face I can't forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She may be the song the summer sings
May be the chill the autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day

She may be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
The smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem inside her shell

She who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
But I'll remember till the day I die

She may be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough in many years
Me, I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is she
She
She

Teach Me Tonight

Did you say, I've got a lot to learn
Well don't think I'm trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Teach me tonight

Starting with the ABC of it
Getting right down to the XYZ of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Teach me tonight

The sky's a blackboard high above you
If a shooting star goes by
I'll use that star to write "I love you"
A thousand times across the sky

One thing isn't very clear, my love
Should the teacher stand so near, my love
Graduation's almost here, my love
Teach me tonight

I'll use that star to write "I love you"
A thousand times across the sky
One thing isn't very clear, my love
Should the teacher stand so near, my love

Graduation's almost here, my love
So would you teach me tonight
I must not fail, my love
Teach me tonight

It's Always You

Whenever its early twilight
I watch 'til a star breaks through
Funny, its not a star I see
It's always you

Whenever I roam through roses
And lately I often do
Funny, its not a rose I touch
It's always you

If a breeze caresses me
It's really you strolling by
If I hear a melody
It's merely the way you sigh

Wherever you are, you're near me
You dare me to be untrue
Funny, each time I fall in love
It's always you

If a breeze caresses me
It's really you strolling by
If I hear a melody
It's merely the way you sigh

Wherever you are, you're near me
You dare me to be untrue
Funny, each time I fall in love
It's always you

Unchained Melody

Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time

And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?

I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me

Oh my love, oh my love
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home, wait for me

Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love

I'll Never Be Free

Each time I hold somebody new
My arms grow cold aching for you
No one can take your place
Darling, in my embrace, I'll never be free

And when my lips burn with desire
No other kiss puts out the fire
Though I may try and try, no one can satisfy
This longing in me

I'll never be free from your smile so tender
The sweet surrender in your eyes
How can I be free when I still remember
How you could thrill me with a sigh?

Just like a chain bound to my heart
Your love remains when we're apart
Each kiss I gave to you, made me
A slave to you, I'll never be free

Just like a chain bound to my heart
Your love remains when we're apart
Each kiss I gave to you, made me
A slave to you, I'll never, no,
I'll never be free

Would You Like to Take a Walk?

I saw you strolling by your solitary
Am I nosy? Very, very
I'd like to be a juicy huckleberry
What you're after is a gal
We're both in luck for introductions
Are not necessary

Mmm, would you like to take walk?
Mmm, do you think it's gonna rain?
Mmm, how about a sasparilla?
Gee, the moon is yeller
Sump'n good'll come from that

Mmm, have you heard the latest song?
Mmm, it's a very pretty strain
Mmm, don't you feel a little thrilly?
Gee, it's getting chilly
Sump'n good'll come from that

When you're strolling though the wherezis
You need a whozis to lean upon
But when you have no whozis
To hug and whatzis, gosh, darn

Mmm, would you like to take walk?
Mmm, do you think it's gonna rain?
Mmm, ain't you tired of the talkies?
I prefer the walkies
Sump'n good'll come from that

My little heart is full of palpitation
What I need is consolation
I'd like to stage a little celebration
In the moonlight, right away
I'll feel all pep't if you'll accept
My friendly invitation

Mmm, would you like to take walk?
Mmm, do you think it's gonna rain?
Mmm, how about a sasparilla?
Gee, the moon is yeller
Sump'n good'll come from that

Mmm, have you heard the latest song?
Mmm, it's a very pretty strain
Mmm, don't you feel a little thrilly?
Gee, it's getting chilly
Sump'n good'll come from that

When you're strolling though the wherezis
You need a whozis to lean upon
But when you have no whozis
To hug and whatzis, gosh, darn

Mmm, would you like to take walk?
Mmm, do you think it's gonna rain?
Mmm, ain't you tired of the talkies?
I prefer the walkies
Sump'n good'll come from that

We'll Meet Again

We'll meet again,
Don't know where,don't know when,
But I know we'll meet again, some sunny day.
Keep smiling through,
Just like you always do,
Till the blue skies drive the dark clouds, far away.
So will you please say hello,
To the folks that I know,
Tell them I won't be long, (i wont be long)
They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go
I was singing this song.

We'll meet again,
Don't know where,don't know when,
But I know we'll meet again, some sunny day.
We'll meet again,
Don't know where, don't know when,
But I know we'll meet again, some sunny day.
Keep smiling through,
Just like you always do,
Till the blue skies drive the dark clouds, far away.
So will you please say hello
To the folks that I know,
Tell them I won't be long,(i wont be long )
They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go
I was singing this song.
We'll meet again,
Don't know where, don't know when.
But I know well meet again, some sunny day.
We'll meet again,
Don't know where, don't know when.
But I know well meet again some sunny day.
Keep smiling through,
Just like You always do,
Till the blue skies drive the dark Clouds far away.
So will You please say hello to the folks that I know,
Tell them I won't be long. (i wont be long )
They'll be happy to know as You saw me go,
I was singing this song.
We'll meet again,
Don't know where, don't know when.
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day.
Keep smiling through just like you all ways do
