Hard To Find
(J. Lyon)

Joseph and sweet Mary scratching in the sand
His lost expression like he doesn't understand
But she seems happy and that's all that really counts
So they keep moving but, oh Lord, he has his doubts
Then that light, light comes shining
From the east and Mary has a child
Joseph sighs and just shields his eyes
Smiles, smiles, smiles smiles his wistful smile
You can get it if you really want it
You can get it but you better be sure now
Cause if you want it then
You're gonna get it
You're gonna get it right now

True love is so hard to find
True love is so hard to find
Break your back and then you lose your mind
True love is so hard to find

Johnnie F. and Jackie looked like they had it all
Start at the top, you never think you'll fall
So much in love, always together
Till they ran into bad Texas weather now
Trouble down, down down down in Dallas
Shots rang out in the middle of the afternoon
Now we know all about a certain Miss Monroe
And Jackie K. turned into Jackie O.
You can get it if you really want it
You can get it but you better be sure now
Cause if you want it then
You're gonna get it
you're gonna get it right now

True love is so hard to find
True love is so hard to find
Break your back and then you lose your mind
True love is so hard to find

You can get it if you really want it
You can get it but you better be sure now
Cause if you want it then
You're gonna get it
You're gonna get it right now

True love is so hard to find
True love is so hard to find
Break your back and then you lose your mind
True love is so hard to find

Tell Me (That Our Love's Still Strong)
(J. Lyon)

Every day I wake up but I can't look in my mirror
I don't wanna see my face
I'm so afraid that somehow in the night
Sweet baby, I have been replaced
I don't wanna look
I don't wanna see
Somebody lying next to you
Somebody that's not me
I can't face it, can't face the fear
Don't tell me any bad news
Tell me what I want to hear

Tell me that our love's still strong
Tell me if we're going wrong
Tell me that our love's still strong
I could never last too long without you

So I get up, I get dressed, pour a cup of coffee
Face another working day
At my desk all I do is worry
Will our love fade away?
I can't think
I can hardly breathe
I'm paralyzed by the notion
That you'd ever want to leave
So I reach, reach for the telephone
I got to hear your voice saying, baby, come on home

Tell me that our love's still strong
Tell me if we're going wrong
Tell me that our love's still strong
I could never last too long without you

I never knew love could be so obsessive
But, baby, that's the way it is with me
I never thought I'd become so possessive
But I just keep on holding on
I just keep on holding on

Tell me that our love's still strong
Tell me if we're going wrong
Tell me that our love's still strong
I could never last too long without you

Walk Away Renee
(B. Calilli/M. Brown/T. Sansone)

And when I see the sign that points one way
The lot we used to pass by everyday

Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block
Are not the same
You're not to blame

From deep inside the tears, I'm forced to cry
From deep inside the pain, I chose to hide

Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now let the rain beat down
Upon my weary eyes
For me and mine

Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now let the rain beat down
Upon my weary eyes
For me and mine

Your name and mine inside a heart upon the wall
Still finds a way to haunt me
Though they're so small

Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block
Are not the same
You're not to blame

Take My Love
(J. Gramolini)

If I could believe you
To my soul
That you would never leave me
Baby, I don't know
There's been so many others
In my life
Could you be any stronger
Then they tried
I'm not gonna make you
I'm not trying to take you
All I want from you now
Is to know that if you go, you will know how

To take my love with you everyday
When you're out and on the street
When you wake up in the morning
Take my love, baby, I'll be fine

To give in to temptation
In your mind
Is to show preoccupation
To have a good time
But you don't have to worry
About my heart
Cause you ain't gonna hurt me
If we part

I'm not gonna make you
I'm not trying to take you
All I want is to see
If you go, there'll be no ghost of you
To haunt me

To take my love with you everyday
When you're out and on the street
When you wake up in the morning
Take my love, baby, I'll be fine

You Can Count On Me
(B. Bandiera/J. Lyon)

Everybody always running
Running from the things they can't understand
Everybody's always searching
Searching for something so close at hand
People get so blinded
They never seem to find it
It always seems so hopeless
But in time, I think you're going to find

Wo wo wo - Baby, you can count on me
Wo wo wo - Baby, you can count on me

Trouble, trouble always trouble
A girl like you needs someone to hold on to
Sometimes it seems we live in sorrow
Don't worry baby, together we can make it through
Holding on to someone
Holding on to life
Waiting for a moment
When it's time I believe you're gonna find

Wo wo wo - Baby, you can count on me
Wo wo wo - Baby, you can count on me

You can count on the one who loves you
You can count on my waiting heart
When no one seems to think of you, baby
I'll be waiting, I'll be watching
And no one will ever tear us apart

Holding on to someone
Just holding on to life
Waiting for that moment
When it's time I believe you're gonna find

Wo wo wo - Baby, you can count on me
Wo wo wo - Baby, you can count on me

Till The End Of The Night
(J. Lyon)

I sit in limbo till the sun goes down
Alone in silence in this sordid town
I drift and dream until the day is done
Like night clouds drift across the evening sun

But then the darkness calls and I awake
Lean out the window feel the city shake
Bathe in the glow of a neon light
I've found a place I know I'll be alright

Till the end of the night
Till the end of the night
It's gonna be alright
Till the end of the night

My friends all tell me that I'm wasting time
Can't sell my songs, it's just a waste of rhyme
I soothe my soul out on the city streets
I feel the madness of the day retreat

I grab my keys and shrug into my coat
Forget about the words I might have wrote
Out on the street beneath a drug store sign
A junkie chorus singing right on time

Till the end of the night
Till the end of the night
It's gonna be alright
Till the end of the night

They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
They shine down on every poor lost soul
Who's ever lost his way

Till the end of the night
Till the end of the night
It's gonna be alright
Till the end of the night

I Only Want To Be With You
(Hawker/Raymonde)

I don't know what it is that makes me love you so
I only know I never want to let you go
'Cause you started something can't you see
That ever since we met, you've had a hold on me
No matter what you do, I only want to be with you

It doesn't matter where you go or what you do
I want to spend each moment of the day with you
Look what has happened with just one kiss
I never knew that I could be in love like this
It's crazy but it's true, I only want to be with you

Oh, you stopped and you smiled at me
Asked me if I cared to dance
I fell into your open arms
And I didn't stand a chance

Now listen, honey
I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
"Cause you started something and can't you see
That ever since we met, you've had a hold on me
No matter what you do, I only want to be with you

Oh, you stopped and smiled at me
Asked me if I cared to dance
I fell into your open arms
And I didn't stand a chance

Now listen, honey
I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
'Cause you started something and can't you see
That ever since we met, you've had a hold on me
No matter what you do, I only want to be with you
I only want to be with you

Lorraine
(J. Lyon/S. Sylvan/R. Rex)

The day that you appeared you walked into my heart
There is no space between the venom and the dart
Another victim...of a hot summer night
Oh, Lorraine que'est que tu vait avec moi

We danced the night away, out on the steaming streets
They fan you from above, the class beneath our feet
Shattered fragments of a hot summer night
Oh, Lorraine que'est que tu vait avec moi

Someday we'll dance again, if only in our dreams
Not every tender glance is always what it seems
Eyes of passion on a hot summer night

Oh, Lorraine que'est que tu vait avec moi

I Can't Wait
(B. Bandiera/J. Lyon)

You say you love me
Then you leave me in this place
You're thinking of me
But I never see your face
You've got a lot of nerve
To say it's what I deserve
You say all men are fools
But I didn't make the rules

I can't wait for you to come a
I can't wait for you to come a
I can't wait for you to come around

This world keeps turning
But it's bound to stop one day
You keep me burning
Wondering if you're on your way
The world is full of liars
Who breathe unholy fires
While they fight for control
Who's gonna save my soul

I can't wait for you to come a
I can't wait for you to come a
I can't wait for you to come around

I can't wait for you to come a
I can't wait for you to come a
I can't wait for you to come around

Under The Sun
(B. Bandiera/P. Scailfa)

Queen of sorrow ain't that your name
In a world of darkness with no one to blame
You watch from a distance and wonder how come
Some people walk so easily under the sun

Tell me darlin' what are you thinking of
When you give your loyalty to strangers
And betray the ones you love
Is it because of all those strangers
They help you go on hiding from
Your loss of faith to your rightful place
Under the sun

Once you walked so proud to a rebel drum
But all your victories were too hard won
And all the precious gifts of the land
Fell through your tired hands

Queen of sorrow ain't that your name
What's born in anger ends in shame
Trust me darlin' we shall overcome
Take my hand and face your rightful place
Under the sun
