(I’D LIKE TO BE) BABY TO YOU

Music and Lyrics by Morgan Ames

 

CRY LIKE A BABY,

I'D LIKE A BABY,

I'D LIKE TO BE BABY TO YOU.

 

I MAY LOOK LIKE A LADY,

ALL GROWN UP A SHADY,

BUT I'D LIKE TO BE BABY TO YOU.

 

          TO YOU

          NO MATTER WHAT IT MAKES YOU THINK OF ME,

          TO YOU

          I WANNA HIDE IN YOU LIKE TWO YEARS OLD,

          TO YOU

          I WANNA GIVE YOU EVERYTHING I GOT

          AND THAT'S A LOT TO DO TO YOU.

 

I COULD RUN LIKE A RABBIT,

RUN OUT OF HABIT,

I JUST HOPE I CAN GRAB IT WITH YOU.

OTHERWISE I'LL CRY LIKE A BABY,

DON'T BE NO MAYBE,

AND YOU COULD BE MY BABY TOO,

‘CAUSE I'D LIKE TO BE BABY TO YOU.

 

DO DO DO…

I'D LIKE TO BE BABY TO YOU,

DO DO DO….

I'D LIKE TO BE BABY TO YOU

OTHERWISE I'LL CRY LIKE A BABY,

DON'T BE NO MAYBE,

AND YOU COULD BE MY BABY TOO,

‘CAUSE I'D LIKE TO BE BABY TO YOU.

QUIETLY THERE

Music by Johnny Mandel / Lyrics by Morgan Ames

  

WHY DIDN’T I SEE YOUR EYES TURNING ON ME

HAD I BEEN GENTLE WHEN YOU TOLD ME GOODBYE

I MIGHT HAVE CAUSED A SMILE INSTEAD OF A WEARY SIGH

BUT NO, I LET YOU GO WITHOUT LETTING YOU KNOW

HOW I DEPENDED ON THE LOVE THAT WE’D SHARE

OR WHAT IT MEANT TO ME TO KNOW YOU WERE THERE.

 

QUIETLY THERE, HAPPILY THERE,

I MUST HAVE LOST YOU MANY QUARRELS AGO

OH NO, YOU DIDN’T SEE THE LOVE HIDDEN IN ME

I STAY OUT LATE NOW, I DON’T WANT TO GO HOME

IT’S DAWN WHEN I REACH THE DOOR

DARLING, WHAT DO I HAVE IN STORE

ONLY THE QUIET PRAYER YOU’RE WAITING QUIETLY THERE.

QUIETLY THERE…QUIETLY THERE...QUIETLY THERE,,,

PAPER BOAT
Music and Lyrics by SHELBY FLINT

 

WE WENT OUT TO SEA IN A SMALL PAPER BOAT,

NOBODY THOUGHT WE COULD KEEP IT AFLOAT,

AND IT’S TRUE THERE WERE TIMES

WHEN WE LOOKED AT THAT CRAFT,

SO FRAGILE AND LIGHT AND THOUGHT IT WON’T LAST,

BUT WE SAIL ON MILE ON MILE,

I DON’T NEED NO COLD NORTH STAR,

I GOT YOUR SMILE TO GUIDE ME,

EASY SAILING FOR US FROM NOW ON,

WE GOT OUR LOVE TO CARRY US, CARRY US HOME.

 

THE WIND CAME UP AND THE WATER CAME IN,

WAVES TOSSED AND TURNED US, THE SEA TRIED TO WIN,

AND JUST LIKE A LEAF THAT’S BEEN TOSSED IN A STREAM,

SPINS ON A CURRENT AND SAILS LIKE A DREAM,

WE SAIL ON MILE ON MILE,

I DON’T NEED NO COLD NORTH STAR,

I GOT YOUR SMILE TO GUIDE ME,

EASY SAILING FOR US FROM NOW ON,

WE GOT OUR LOVE TO CARRY US, CARRY US,

WE SAIL ON, KEEP ON SAILING, WE SAIL ON, MILE AFTER MILE,
 

WENT OUT TO SEA ON A SMALL PAPER BOAT,

NOTHING ON BOARD BUT LAUGHTER AND HOPE,

AND SOMETIMES IT’S TRUE THAT THEY GET KIND OF THIN,

IT’S TRUE WE MAY LOSE BUT I THINK WE’LL WIN,

WE SAIL ON MILE ON MILE,

I DON’T NEED NO COLD NORTH STAR,

I GOT YOUR SMILE TO GUIDE ME,

EASY SAILING FOR US FROM NOW ON,

WE GOT OUR LOVE TO CARRY US, CARRY US,

WE SAIL ON, JUST KEEP ON SAILING, WE SAIL ON,

SAIL ON MILE AFTER MILE, WE SAIL ON, MILE AFTER MILE.

 

JUST KEEP ON SAILING ON, BABY,

SAILING ON MILE ON MILE, SWEET LOVE,

GOT YOUR SWEET LOVE TO CARRY US, SWEET LOVE CARRY US,

CARRY US HOME, SWEET LOVE,

JUST KEEP ON SAILING ON, BABY,

GONNA MAKE IT WITH YOUR SWEET SMILE, SWEET SMILE, YEAH,

DON’T NEED NO COLD NORTH STAR ‘CAUSE WE’RE

GONNA MAKE IT WITH LOVE, SWEET LOVE,

SWEET LOVE, OO,
MILE ON MILE, MILE ON MILE, MILE ON MILE.

I AM HIS LADY

Music and Lyrics by Morgan Ames

 

I AM HIS LADY,

I AM RUNNING LIKE A RIVER,

SHINING IN THE MORNING SUN,

DANCING IN THE SEA BREEZE,

VERY GLAD TO BE WHAT I WANT TO BE,

I’M HIS LADY.

 

THE DAYS ARE EASY,

THEY ARE RUNNING LIKE A RIVER,

HE WALKS OUT TO MEET THE DAY,

TAKING MY WORLD WITH HIM,

LOOKING FINE AND FREE, SEEING INTO ME,

I’M HIS LADY.

 

          HE’S DEEP AND SHALLOW AND FAST AND SLOW,

          LIKE A RIVER THAT KNOWS WHERE TO GO.

 

I AM HIS LADY AND I WONDER WHAT TO GIVE HIM,

SHALL I GIVE MYSELF TODAY,

WILL THE GIVING PLEASE HIM,

HE’S A SWEET WILD THING AND I LOVE TO SING,

I’M HIS LADY,

HE’S A SWEET WILD THING AND I LOVE TO SING,

I’M HIS LADY.

 

          HE’S DEEP AND SHALLOW AND TRAPPED AND FREE,

          LIKE A RIVER THAT RUNS TO THE SEA.

 

I AM HIS LADY, I AM RUNNING LIKE A RIVER,

FASTER THAN A FLOOD IN SPRING,

SLOWER THAN A SPARROW

WITH A WOUNDED WING,

BUT A SONG TO SING,

I’M HIS LADY.

HE’S A SWEET WILD THING AND I LOVE TO SING

I’M HIS LADY,

HE’S A SWEET WILD THING AND I LOVE TO SING

I’M HIS LADY,

HE’S A SWEET WILD THING AND I LOVE TO SING

I’M HIS LADY.

GLAD WE THREW IN TOGETHER

Music and Lyrics by Morgan Ames     

 

AFTER EVERY CHANCE IS TAKEN,

AFTER EVERY DEED IS DONE,

I’LL BE LYIN’ IN THE BACK YARD

WITH MY EYELIDS TO THE SUN,

 

I’LL BE GLAD ABOUT THE WEATHER,

I’LL BE SIPPIN’ SOMETHIN’ FINE,

I’LL BE THINKIN’ OF YOUR SWEET MOUTH

WHEN IT MOVES ON MINE,

I’M GLAD WE THREW IN TOGETHER,

WE’RE IN TOGETHER.

 

I REMEMBER ALL MY TROUBLE,

IT DON’T COME AROUND NO MORE,

I JUST PUT IT IN A BARREL

AND ROLLED IT OUT THE DOOR,

ALWAYS LOVED TO SEE YOU COMIN’,

I HATED YOU TO GO,

I NEVER REALLY TOLD YOU BUT YOU SEEMED TO KNOW,

I’M GLAD WE THREW IN TOGETHER,

WE’RE IN TOGETHER.

 

YOU AND ME SINGIN’ HARMONY,

LEAVIN’ LOVE ALONE SO IT ALL GOES HOME,

ME AND YOU KNOWING WHAT TO DO,

THAT’S THE WAY THAT IT’S BEEN,

EVER SINCE WE THREW IN TOGETHER.

 

IF I GOT A JOB IN TULSA AND YOU WERE IN L.A.,

I WOULD GO AND HAVE A GOOD TIME

BUT I BET I WOULDN’T STAY,

ON THE OTHER HAND IT’S SUNDAY

AND THE SUN IS SHININ’ THROUGH,

AND THERE’S NO EXCUSE FOR LEAVIN’

A MAN LIKE YOU,

I’M GLAD WE THREW IN TOGETHER,

WE GOT IT TOGETHER,

YOU AND ME TOGETHER UH-HUH,

TOGETHER OH YEAH.

UNLESS IT’S YOU

Music by Johnny Mandel / Lyrics by Morgan Ames

 

I WONDER WHY

I’VE LOVED SO FEW

I GUESS I’M SHY

I’M JUST LIKE YOU.

AND SO I TRY

TO TURN AWAY

THOUGH YOU’RE THE SKY TO ME,

THE JOY TO ME, THE DAY.

THE DAY   OO

 

AT TIMES I STRAY

AND THINK I’M FREE.

THEN IN YOUR WAY

YOU REACH FOR ME.

YOU KNOW I’LL STAY

I ALWAYS DO,

FOR WHAT IS LOVE TO ME

UNLESS IT’S YOU.
