TO FEEL IN LOVE
BATTISTI-MOGOL-POWELL
To feel in love
is life and living
You meet someone
and you start breathing
Could be another chance
a quietly stolen glance
Don't listen if you fear
and go now that she's near.
To feel in love
is growing younger
You're not alone
no pain, no hunger
Don't hide what worries you
be what you are and do
And for the time, you may
keep loneliness away.
But now, but now
to really love someone
to give, to take, to share
it's as hard you know
as flying in troubled air
Up, down, and blown around
the tears and pain that passed
that's how it had to be
to feel as one at last.
Really one at least
one soul, I mean
to live and hold each day
so very near
but yet so far away.
But now, but now

it's as hard you know

To feel as one at last
really one at least

to live and hold each day
so very near
but yet so far away.
A SONG TO FEEL ALIVE
BATTISTI-MOGOL-POWELL
In a world like this
nothing more to do
I've got a song to feel alive
It's you.
I see eternity
shining in the skyes
far beyond the universe
of your eyes
I feelin' with no fears
is born among the tears
and flyin' high above it all
it goes
Soaring over all the accusations
Over prejudice and affectations
our need for love will blow and stay
showing us the way
In a world like this (one day we'll find a home)
everyone's confined (where wild roses have been sown)
a song to feel alive and free (Clooms that fall)
is you and me (They seem to call)
the image what truth (the woods are all abandoned)
is naked there to see (overgrown by neglet and misery)
it speaks of a reality (but we will see)
that will be (treir mystery)
All the new sensations
are young and true emotions
they express their clarity for us
the phantom shades of a forgotten past
will fall away and we will see at last
our need for love will grown and stay
showing us the way
And I'll discover you
I'll discover you
Oh sweet companion
mhmm
who doesn't know where to go
or what to do
or by whose side you'll be
look and you see
...
One day we'll find a home
where wild roses have been sown
blooms that fall
they'll seem to call
The woods are all abandoned
overgrown by neglet and misery
but we will see
their mistery
In a world like this
nothing more to do
I've got a song to feel alive
It's you.
I see eternity
shining in the skyes
far beyond the universe
of your eyes
All the new sensations
are young and true emotions
they express their clarity for us
The phantom shades of a forgotten past
will fall away and we will see at last.
THE ONLY THING I'VE LOST
BATTISTI-MOGOL-POWELL
Can you tell me what has changed
since our lives were rearranged?
I don't think so.
Can you tell me what we gained
since we parted, what remained?
I don't think so.
I'm older it's true
and the only thing I've lost is you
I'm older it's true
and the only thing I've lost is you
I played football on sunday
and was sore all day monday
but I'm still playing.
As a child I tried to be
so many things you see
I'm still trying.
I'm older it's true
and the only thing I've lost is you
I'm older it's true
and the only thing I've lost is you
I said we would love forever
I guess I wasn't very clever
I wasn't thinking
It was a time in our lives
it's gonna and we survived.
I'm older it's true
and the only thing I've lost is you
I'm older it's true
and the only thing I've lost is you
Can you tell me what has changed
since our lives were rearranged
I don't think so
I'm older it's true
I'm older it's true
I'm older it's true
Can you tell me what we gained
since we parted, what remained?
I don't think so.
KEEP ON CRUISING
BATTISTI-MOGOL-POWELL
I've got a friend who's a genius
he'll know exactly what to do
He can make it all like new
given half a chance he'll do
Amazing things
It's all described in manuals
the logic very sound
he'll adjust what's wrong with you
And make your motor pound
and again you can get moving
though not exactly flying
at least cruising
Keep on cruising
keep it light, keep it tight,
not confusing
And don't listen to fears
or be blinded by tears.
Very softly, very softly, so soothing
Now just keep right on cruising
First with caution, then accelleration
with pulsing beat, a good vibration
pushing forward, keep it sweetly moving
Now you know you are cruising
and at night your light's illuminating
watch the signals and you'll know
positively where you're going
You can do it, it's so easy
you can do it, let it go.
I've got a friend who's a genius
he'll know exactly what to do
He can make it all like new
giving you the right solution
Substitution
Everything will come together
and you know it's going to fit
you'òò be a better judge of people
those who stand from those who sit
and again you can get moving
though not exactly flying
at least cruising
Keep on cruising
keep it light, keep it tight,
not confusing
And don't listen to fears
or be blinded by tears.
Very softly, very softly, so soothing
Now just keep right on cruising
First with caution, then accelleration
with pulsing beat, a good vibration
pushing forward, keep it sweetly moving
Now you know you are cruising
and at night your light's illuminating
watch the signals and you'll know
positively where you're going
You can do it, it's so easy
you can do it, let it go.
Now you know you are cruising
cruising.
THE SUN SONG
BATTISTI-MOGOL-POWELL
Your long blonde hair and eyes of baby blue
brights colors never fading.
The blush of childhood on your downy cheek
the days of hide-and-seek
the secrets places we arranged to be
the things you felt but couldn't see
the sandy footprints as you shyly fled
oh no, now summer's gone away, we are older
Where have you been, what have you done,
till now?
you're a woman, a woman, tell me
what do you mean that you're a woman at
last?
How many arms have been around you?
Did they change you in the past?
So what, don't tell me, you're moving too
fast
Do you remember tossed in waves of white?
Green stones where water flows free?
What color are your eyes speckled in light?
I'll never ask, you'll never tell me
Oh, sad old ocean, sad old ocean, jaded sea
you were as pure as the innocence in me
Oh, sad old ocean, sad old ocean, jaded sea
you were as pure as the innocence in me
The bicycles
we left abandoned on the top of the hill
lying together under trees
flowers, the pages of your scrapbook fill
so happy in that summer breeze
An awkward silence that you seem to fear
a look I couldn't understand
the flowers falling as I draw near
Oh no, don't hold me back, don't raise
you're hands.
Where have you been, what have you done,
till now?
you're a woman, a woman, tell me
what do you mean that you're a woman at
last?
How many arms have been around you?
Did they change you in the past?
So what, don't tell me, you're moving too
fast
Can you recall the waves and summer skies?
The spary from surfing in the sea?
What light flickers deep in oyur eyes?
Is the flame still burning? I can't see
Oh, sad old ocean, sad old ocean, jaded sea
you were as pure as the innocence in me
Oh, sad old ocean, sad old ocean, jaded sea
you were as pure as the innocence in me
When the bright rays of the morning sun
burst into the night
The early day breaks over us with clear
warm light
The shadows and the phantoms of the dark
turn into trees and blossoms
Truth once more rejects the lies
and love becomes the light that's shining
still in your eyes.
THERE'S NEVER BE A MOMENT
BATTISTI-MOGOL-POWELL-HUNTER
Wheels on hissing asphalt
driving down your way
on the telephone you told me
half-past two would be okay.
Something in the way you talked
the way you made me feel
I can't explain just what is
you sounded so unreal
What is it that has happened?
Is there something on your mind?
No, it just can't be this way
I couldn't be so blind.
The traffic's moving slowly
my mind is moving fast
recalling conversations
reflecting on the past.
The words we said together
the pauses in between
you said "I think we need to talk"
I wonder what it means.
There's never be a moment
when we didn't care
I'll simply say I love you
when I see you there
And yet
I know there's something else
very hard for me to see
but it seems it's overtaken you
does it have to do with me?
The crowds of faceless people
moving everywhere
the lights are all against me
I wonder when I'll get there?
There's never be a moment
when we didn't care
I'll keep repeating thoughts of you
to bring you clearly into view
I see your eyes
and something inside me cries
what can be wrong?
There's never been a moment
when we didn't care
I'll simply say I love you
when I see you there.
And yet
I know there's something else

There's never be a moment

I'll simply say I love you
when I see you there.
ONLY
BATTISTI-MOGOL-POWELL
Only
only for a moment
Falling
in some other dream
someone else beside me
not you
Though we're not together now
I know I'll be
more in love with you
Like an airplane
circling in the myst
solitary spirals in the air
seeking runways that we've missed
nothing more to fear
we're there
Just below the clouds
the love we have is ours to share
Something in the spring
a few tears ago
touched us, has groown and
overwhelmed us
That maybe why we hide
our memories deep inside
for in the winter winds
such little things
will warm and reassure us.
Only
but only for a moment
when least expected
confusion
disillusion
and at time we're strangers
and you get lonely
like me
it really doesn't matter
I know it can only
make me love you more
and you get lonely
lonely like me
it really doesn't matter
I know it can only you
make me love you more.
