Love will soon ignite Now we move so right Please don't say goodnight Just let me count the freckles on your knees Baby please don't say goodnight Sleep beneath the poinciana trees Baby please don't say goodnight Those Lahaina lights Are so far fro...

And when God gave out rythm He sure was good to you. You can add, subtract, multiply and divide... By two. I know today's your birthday, And I did not buy no rose. But I wrote this song instead and I call it, "Popsicle Toes". Popsicle toes. Popsicle...

I give my love to you And you give your love to me That endless curve They use for Infinity Would best describe The way this puzzle fits Darlin' you inspire me But even I run out of adjectives I have heard it said "Nothing is perfect" How untrue! Perf...

You're the queen of the underground I met you Sunday at the Dalai Lama's You bought some pictures in those silk pyjamas And you seemed like someone from another planet With your eyes so jet and your lips so pomegranate And the coiffure you wore was Earl...

Seventh of September Remember when We met at the shrine Your kimono looked so fine Temple dancers swaying Flutes playing then I was yours and you were mine Paul Desmond on the stereo We sipped the sake very slow Kissing in the candleglow That rainy n...

Read my lips It must be obvious I love you Read my lips It must be obvious Read my lips Though, I can't tell you that I love you Read my lips It must be obvious Hard as I try to fight it Anything can excite it Merely the meeting of our eyes It just...

Once January arrives Soon as the mercury dies I start to wonder how long it will take Before my weakened will power just breaks And I'm convincing you To rendezvous in Rio Dance the samba in Bahia On the beach we'll chill So atmospherically contented...

We said goodbye one last time at the Louvre Our long happy Summer was through Just lovers in Paris as common as doves But I still think of you, Samba Blue Just how long has it been? I still remember when We strolled the Champs Elysees Sharing a warm ba...

When I walk around Soho I remember Gamboa There's a feeling, there's a beat That hugs me like a boa Walking by the docks Where Donga make the samba In the rhythm of the people From Angola from Ruanda Suffering along in the wonderful dilemma Falling...

Now I used to smoke the twine And I used to chop the line Every morning pay the fine Wake up red-eye from the wine Then a bird taught me to sing And I met the Lotus King And my residence was through In the Land of Sanpaku I chewed the root until my brain was...

If you shine me on it'll haunt you Let's play me and you don't you want to Take a great big bite of the apple What the hell Might as well Let's play pin the tail on the bunny Let's play grizzly bear finding honey Let the lukewarm milk of precaution Be...

Ran to Penn Station and mad my train Immediately fell asleep until I heard The conductor say: "Next stop Where-it's-Atsville." Sunlight on the Hudson an amber glow Like "Crepuscule with Nellie" dialed Down low When I reached my stop The platform sign s...

When circumstance divides us, I always close my eyes. My thoughts retrace the image of your face: Somehow our love survives. Now we're in our prime and it's Once Upon a Time... Paper lanterns in the trees. The photograph is framed But the feeling's stil...

Life read the grooves and your voice ...across the years time travels Disappeared songbird I hear ...you and my heart unravels When I consider ...your absence then my smile erases Sure the Creator creates ...but rarely He replaces Songbirds as perf...
