So many beautiful songs. Now I've got these spinning around in my head, and memories are flooding back. Kinda nice, actually.

I Can't Make Music

Here I am just sittin' around
With an old piano in a vacant room
And the same old feelin's come again
So uncertain hurtin' scared
I though I grew, but here I am again
Shoulda seen the train be passin' thru.
I thought I knew
And I can't make music
No I can't make rhyme
No I can't do anything
To take me away this time
I know it's an old cliche to say
I feel I'm gonna die
And I hear it's goin' out to cry
So I'm gonna say some kind words to you
I like to wish you luck & hope
That life will be with someone else
Just like I though it would be with me
But I can't see...
And I can't make music
No I can't make rhyme
No I can't do anything
To take me away this time

THIS MASQUERADE (written by George Benson)

Are we really happy here
With this lonely game we play
Looking for wild words to say
Searching but not finding
understanding anyway
We're lost in a masquerade

Both afraid to say we're just to far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear
Each time I see your eyes
And no matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons
Why we carry on this way
We're lost in this masquerade

(instrumental)

We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear
Each time I see your eyes
And no matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons
Why we carry on this way
We're lost in this masquerade


One Love

One love in my young life
Took me somewhere I had never been
And I want to live again, breathe again
In the shelter of his brightly woven love song
So long I have wanted love to be
Sitting just this near to me
Now my waiting heart is free

(*) few are the choices we are given
The sands of time pass quickly by
One dream of my young life
Now stands holding out his hand to me
Now I can’t help but believe that my whole life will be
Spent in one love

Repeat (*)

Spent in one love
Spent in one love


A Song For You

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see

There's no one more important to me
Darlin' can't you please see through me
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

(*) You tought me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together

Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
(**) I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine

And when my life is over remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you

Repeat (*)

Repeat (**)
We were alone and I was singing this song for you


Hideaway

I’ve got to find a place to hideaway
Far from the shadows of my mind
Sunlight and laughter, love ever after
For how I long to find a place to hideaway
I hear you whisper and I must obey,
Blindly follow where you’ll be
Knowing tomorrow brings only sorrow
Where can I go to find a place to hideaway
Bright colored pinwheels go round in my head
I run through the mist of the wine
(*) the night and the music remind me instead
The world once was mine
I’ll save my pennies for a rainy day
But where can I buy another you?
Dreams are for sleeping
Love is for weeping
Oh, how I long to find a place to hideaway

Repeat (*)
