Olivia Newton-John Gold lyrics

I asked my love to take a walk
To take a walk, just a little walk
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
And only say that you'll be mine
In no others' arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio

I held a knife against his breast
As into my arms he pressed
He cried "my love, don't you murder me
I'm not prepared for eternity"

If not for you
Babe I couldn't even find the door
I couldn't even see the floor
I'd be sad and blue
If not for you
If not for you
Babe the night would see me wide awake
The day would surely have to break
And it would not be new
If not for you

If not for you my sky would fall
Rain would gather too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I'd be lost if not for you

If not for you

I give you stars and sunshine
A rainbow at your feet each time you rise
So dry your eyes
The house of yesterday is crumblin' at my feet
But I don't mind, I had my time
I am but yesterday
And you my child, tomorrow
There's nothing I can give you
For you have more than me
You are the truth within your youth

I watch you dance and playing
The little prince of all that you survey

They could never take you away from me
Oh baby, never replace the tenderness of your smile
I couldn't leave now if I wanted to
Everything I do I wanna do with you
Oh no, baby
If I gotta leave
I wanna leave with you

They could offer me the world and all its gold
Oh baby, put me on a ship that's sailing out to sea
Set me down on a lonely track
But I'd find a way to come running back

Take the ribbon from my hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Lay it soft against your skin
Like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side
Till the early morning light
All I'm takin' is your time
Help me make it through the night
I don't care who's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
Lord, tonight I need a friend

Yesterday is dead and gone

(Hiller/Goodison/Leslie/Day)

I hold your hand and gently touch your hair
Then we'll walk together hand in hand
The way it used to be
The way you smile and kiss me tenderly
Tears begin to fill my misty eyes
Now you are gone from me

Where are you going to, my love
Will you come back when the sun shines
Anytime you want to come home
It's all right
Where are you going to, my love

If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old-time movie
About a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see

If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel

I know your leaving's too long overdue
For far too long I've had nothing new to show to you
Goodbye dry eyes
I watched your plane fade off west of the moon
And it felt so strange to walk away alone

No regrets
No tears goodbye
Don't want you back
We'd only cry again
Say goodbye again

The hours that were yours
Echo like empty rooms
The thoughts we used to share
I now keep alone

The words I have to say
May well be simple but they're true
Until you give your love
There's nothing more that we can do
Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

You say it's very hard
To leave behind the life we knew
But there's no other way
And now it's really up to you

Soul Kiss
Olivia Newton-John
(M. Boldenberg)

Soul kiss
You left me dreaming
Now I wonder are things just what they seem
Well, I get down on my knees (and beg you, baby)
Get down on my knees

Soul kiss
Some nights you get me wondering
Is this the way
This is a hunger
Well, I get down on my knees (and beg you, baby)
Get down on my knees

Somewhere there is a fire burning

(Elton John/Bernie Taupin)

This is the last time
I'll look across this table
And try to face a feeling I don't even recognize
This is a sad hand
That reached across and touched you
When all we'd built around us came crashing to the ground

There was a tide turning
Somewhere deep inside us
When all these years together seem lost behind my tears
Oh there were good times

Some people search a lifetime
for a love to stand the test of time.
But you don't have to worry
you've got someone
who will always be right by your side.
Whoa-oh-oh
I've got a love
got a love that won't end here in my heart baby.
I've got a love so deep, deeper than a river.
So high, higher than any mountain.
So strong, strong enough to last for all time.
This love is running so deep

Busted flat in Baton rouge
Headin' for the train
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Orleans
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
I was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield wipers slappin' time
And Bobby clappin' hands
We finally sang up every song that driver knew

Once I walked through the halls of a station
Someone called your name
In the street I heard children laughing
They all sound the same
One day could you ever know me
Know the reason why I live
Is there nothin you can show me
Life seems so little to give

Once I climbed up the face of a mountain
And ate the wild fruit there
Fell asleep until the moonlight woke me

MAGIC
Olivia Newton-John
(John Farrar)

Come take my hand
You should know me
I've always been in your mind
You know that I'll be kind
I'll be guiding you

Building your dream
Has to start now
There's no other road to take
You won't make a mistake
I'll be guiding you

You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic

(David Foster)

So many years gone, still I remember

How did I ever let my heart believe
In one who never gave enough to me

And so many years gone, a love that was so wrong

And I can't forget the way it used to be

And how you change the taste of love for me

You were my one more chance I never thought I'd find

You were the one romance I've always known in my mind

(Burt Bacharach/Hal David)

When you go through a day
And the things that people say
They make you feel so small
They make you feel that
Your heart will just never stop aching
And when you just can't accept the abuse you are taking

Darlin' reach out for me
Don't you worry, I'll see you through
You just have to reach out for me
I'll be there and I'll comfort you
Oh yes, I will

(Peter Allen/Jeff Barry)

Maybe I hang around here
A little more than I should
We both know I got somewhere else to go
But I got something to tell you
That I never thought I would
But I believe you really ought to know

I love you
I honestly love you

You don't have to answer
I see it in your eyes
Maybe it was better left unsaid
This is pure and simple
And you should realize

If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can't I paint you
The words will never show
The you I've come to know
If a face could launch a thousand ships
Then where am I to go
There's no one home but you
You're all that's left me too
And when my love for life is running dry
You'll come and pour yourself on me

If a girl could be two places at one time
I'd be with you

(John Farrar)

She walks in and I'm suddenly a hero
I'm taken in my hopes begin to rise
Look at me can't you tell I'd be so
Thrilled to see the message in your eyes
You make it seem I'm so close to my dream
And then suddenly it's all there

Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers

(John Farrar)

Cold winds rarely blow
Here at the end of the rainbow
Guess it's hard to believe
I'd be willing to leave
Someone walked up behind me
Seemed to find me
I felt him standing there, I turned around and
Saw the face of an angel, I fell
It wasn't fair, it just wasn't fair

He took my heart, it was a landslide
You know it was a landslide
My head was saying this is the man

(John Farrar)

Come take my hand
You should know me
I've always been in your mind
You know that I'll be kind
I'll be guiding you

Building your dream
Has to start now
There's no other road to take
You won't make a mistake
I'll be guiding you

You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray

Rosie - We're talkin' to women over 35.

Olivia - You do a self-examination.

Rosie - We got another thing to keep you alive, give your boobs a squeeze!

Olivia - A mammogram makes sure that you have healthy breasts.

Rosie - No different than a cold waffle iron...

Olivia - Reminds me of having my blue jeans pressed.

Rosie - So make your move and please.

HOPELESSLY DEVOTED TO YOU
Olivia Newton John

Guess mine is not the first heart broken
My eyes are not the first to cry
I'm not the first to know there's
Just no getting over you

You know I'm just a fool who's willing
To sit around and wait for you
But baby can't you see there's nothing left for me to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you

But now there's no way to hide

I got chills, they're multiplyin', and I'm losin' control

Cause the power you're supplyin', it's electrifyin'

You better shape up, cause I need a man,

and my heart is set on you
You better shape up, you better understand,

to my heart I must be true

Nothing left, nothing left for me to do

[Chorus:] You're the one that I want

(you are the one I want), ooh ooh ooh, honey

I'm gonna go out tonight
Gonna feel alright
If it tears me right in two
'Cause I just can't stay feeling this way
With a heart that's full of you
I'm gonna go right down
To a part of town
Where I've never been before
And in some small place
Find a brand new face
And step out on the floor

And I'll be dancing 'round and 'round
And I'll be satisfied if I can just hold my ground

(rock & roll beat)

Fool,whatever you do you're reminded

Fool,wherever you go you won't find it
I'm really down on love, so save all your smiles

Ooh,I won't be needin' any love for a while

I'm really down on love, so save all your smiles

Ooh,I won't be needin' any love for a while

Fool,fool,fool

Fool,fool,fool

Fool,wherever you go you're a loser

(Casey/Jacobs)

Summer lovin', had me a blast
Summer lovin', happened so fast
Met a girl crazy for me
Met a boy cute as can be
Summer days drifting away
To, uh oh, those summer nights

Well-a, well-a, well-a, uh!
Tell me more, tell me more
Did you get very far?
Tell me more, tell me more
Like does he have a car?

She swam by me, she got a cramp
He ran by me, got my suit damp

Night is dragging her feet
I wait alone in the heat.
I know, know that you'll have your way
When you have to go home
No's a word I can't say.
'Cause it gets me nowhere
to tell you 'no'.
And it gets me nowhere
to make you go.
Will a little more love
make you start depending?
Will a little more love bring us a happy ending?
Will a little more love make it right?

(John Farrar)

I want you
But takin' it easy ain't an easy thing to do
And I want you, want you
You must know
Cause baby I can't begin to keep it in

Our love is so hot, totally hot
You got to me
Baby, baby, so hot, totally hot
You got to me
Gimme what you got, ready or not
Our love is totally hot

I'm burnin' up
And if my mama could read my mind she'd lock me up

(Peter Wingfield)

Although I know our love is going strong
Little surprises kind of help it along
We mustn't let our lives become routine
Don't do anything we don't mean

There is no limit on love at all
It can always get better the deeper you fall
I'm sure without that love we won't survive
So come on and show it; let's keep it alive

And we'll be making a good thing better

(Peter Allen/Jeff Barry)

Maybe I hang around here
A little more than I should
We both know I got somewhere else to go
But I got something to tell you
That I never thought I would
But I believe you really ought to know

I love you
I honestly love you

You don't have to answer
I see it in your eyes
Maybe it was better left unsaid
This is pure and simple
And you should realize

Please Mr. Please
Olivia Newton-John
(Welch/Rostill)

In the corner of the bar there stands a jukebox
With the best of country music, old and new
You can hear your five selections for a quarter
And somebody else's songs when yours are through

I got good Kentucky whiskey on the counter
And my friends around to help me ease the pain

(Linda Hargrove)

A woman needs attention like the flowers need the sun
Without that attention, a woman feels undone
Now I'm like a flower that's been standin' in the rain
Hopin' and a-prayin' that the sun would shine again

Is there anybody out there who can shine?
Anytime would be fine
Is there anybody out there who can glow
And would like to see a little flower grow?

(M. Allison/P. Sills/D. Black)

There's no need for you to tell me
I can see the way you feel
I just know without you saying
What is a lie and what's real

Every face tells a story
It's hard to hide a lie
Every face tells a story
And yours is saying goodbye

Something's going on, and I know it
You can't keep it from me
Your smile cannot hide what you feel inside

He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother

The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows when
But I'm strong

(John Farrar)

I try to be patient--I try not to moan
But it's driving me crazy trying to live here alone
My conversation gets nowhere when I talk to myself
I've lost my sense of humor somewhere here on the shelf

The moon is wasting its shine shining on me
Until I see you again
I won't be out in the moonlight
And I'll be sleeping by ten
The birds are wasting their song singing to me

(John Farrar)

You think the world should see things your way
Love, I know you, you think good fortune's here to stay
Love, I know you shined in everything you tried before
Your smile can open any door

But on those days when nobody wants to know you
And all your smiles keep falling on stoney ground
Don't stop believin', don't stop believin'
Don't stop believin', you'll get by

If not for you
Babe I couldn't even find the door
I couldn't even see the floor
I'd be sad and blue
If not for you
If not for you
Babe the night would see me wide awake
The day would surely have to break
And it would not be new
If not for you

If not for you my sky would fall
Rain would gather too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I'd be lost if not for you

If not for you

I asked my love to take a walk
To take a walk, just a little walk
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
And only say that you'll be mine
In no others' arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio

I held a knife against his breast
As into my arms he pressed
He cried "my love, don't you murder me
I'm not prepared for eternity"
