Olivia lyrics

(Taylor)

There'll be no strings to bind your hands
Not if my love can find your heart
And there's no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start
I see no need to take me home
I'm old enough to face the dawn

Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away from me

(Burnett)

Sometimes I think I love you
Just a little too much
You know you thrill me baby
With you magic touch
That's why I want you honey
And I love you like I do
I'm gonna scream and shout it
There ain't no doubt about it
That's why I love you like I do

Sometimes I think you kiss me
Just a little too much
You drive me crazy baby,
With your magic touch
You make me feel so good

(Farrar/Best)

The stairs are dark and silent

The morning cold and gray
A last look at the things I knew

And slowly turn away

And as I watch the scenery unwind

My childhood slips a hundred miles behind

Leave the bus in Houston

Walk around the town

But all the strange, unfriendly faces

Seem to get me down

And in the park where little children play

If we only have love
Then tomorrow will dawn
And the days of our years
Will rise on that morn
If we only have love
To embrace without fears
We will kiss with our eyes
We will sleep without tears

If we only have love
With our arms open wide
Then the young and the old
will stand at our side

If we only have love
Love that's falling like rain
Then the parched desert earth

(Tarney/Spencer)

It's not funny when you're lonely
It's much better when you're living in harmony
With someone you're really digging
And you want to give it all that you've got

Don't wanna make you cry
Don't wanna tell you lies
Don't wanna bring you down
Or treat you unkind
Just wanna make you mine
And hear you laugh all the time
Don't wanna break this tie

(Cagan)

I can count the teardrops hidden from your eyes
I can hear the sadness that your smile belies
Thought I heard a whisper
Did it come from you
If you say you're ready
I am ready too

I will touch you deep inside where love is
I will touch your sorrow and make it go away

I can hear the questions running through your mind
I can feel the answers very close behind

(George Harrison)

What I feel I can't say
But my love is there for you any time of day
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed

And tell me what is my life without your love?
And tell me who am I without you by my side?

What I know I can do
If I give my love to everyone like you
But if it's not love that you need

(Simon)

Why don't you write me
I'm out in the jungle
I'm hungry to hear you
Send me a card
I am waiting so hard to be near you
Something is wrong and I know I got a feelin'
Maybe I'm lost but I can't make the cost of the airfare
Tell me why, tell me why

Why don't you write me
A letter would brighten my loneliest evening
Mail it today if it's only to say

(McLean)

No one can take your place with me
And time has proven that I'm right
There's no place I'd rather be
Than at your place for the night
No time can pass your sight unseen
No moment steals away unfound
Lifetime lived in such a dream
Floats like a feather to the ground

And for the first time I've been seeing
The things I've never noticed without you

(George Harrison)

What I feel I can't say
But my love is there for you any time of day
But if it's not love that you need
Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed

And tell me what is my life without your love?
And tell me who am I without you by my side?

What I know I can do
If I give my love to everyone like you
But if it's not love that you need

(Cagan)

I can count the teardrops hidden from your eyes
I can hear the sadness that your smile belies
Thought I heard a whisper
Did it come from you
If you say you're ready
I am ready too

I will touch you deep inside where love is
I will touch your sorrow and make it go away

I can hear the questions running through your mind
I can feel the answers very close behind

(Tarney/Spencer)

It's not funny when you're lonely
It's much better when you're living in harmony
With someone you're really digging
And you want to give it all that you've got

Don't wanna make you cry
Don't wanna tell you lies
Don't wanna bring you down
Or treat you unkind
Just wanna make you mine
And hear you laugh all the time
Don't wanna break this tie

(Harrison)

Why are you still crying
Your pain is now through
Please forget those teardrops
Let me take them from you
The love you are blessed with
This world's waiting for
So let out your heart, please, please
From behind that locked door

It's time we start smiling
What else should we do
With only this short time
I know to be here with you
And the tales you have taught me

(John Farrar)

Hey boy, I better warn you
To make your reservation
Your exit's overdue
I can only promise he ain't the soul to laugh
I've known him long enough to speak on his behalf

My old man's got a gun
And he knows you're a tricky one
He can't fail to make you run
And I don't need you
My old man's got a wife
And she loves him and her life

(Harrison)

Why are you still crying
Your pain is now through
Please forget those teardrops
Let me take them from you
The love you are blessed with
This world's waiting for
So let out your heart, please, please
From behind that locked door

It's time we start smiling
What else should we do
With only this short time
I know to be here with you
And the tales you have taught me

Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel

If we only have love

Mary Skeffington, close your eyes
And make believe that you are just a girl again
Go to sleep tonight, dream of days
When you had something there to light the way

Remember a holiday in a north of England town
You slept in a room upstairs on a bed of eiderdown

Mary Skeffington, when you wake
You mustn't be afraid to face another day
Think of what you had, you'll get by

(Burnett)

Sometimes I think I love you
Just a little too much
You know you thrill me baby
With you magic touch
That's why I want you honey
And I love you like I do
I'm gonna scream and shout it
There ain't no doubt about it
That's why I love you like I do

Sometimes I think you kiss me
Just a little too much
You drive me crazy baby,
With your magic touch
You make me feel so good

No time can pass your sight unseen

Lifetime lived in such a dream
Floats like a feather to the ground

And for the first time I've been seeing
The things I've never noticed without you

(Olivia Newton-John)

We said a million times we'd change
Can't bring myself to say those words again
A piper never changes tune
You can't grow apples on the moon

The hurtful things we say still penetrate
And whispered sorrys always come too late
Then the damage has been done
What are we going to tell our son?

I want to spare his broken heart
Break it gently that we'll live apart

(Simon)

Why don't you write me
I'm out in the jungle
I'm hungry to hear you
Send me a card
I am waiting so hard to be near you
Something is wrong and I know I got a feelin'
Maybe I'm lost but I can't make the cost of the airfare
Tell me why, tell me why

Why don't you write me
A letter would brighten my loneliest evening
Mail it today if it's only to say
