Lady Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead vocals by Dennis DeYoung Lady, when you're with me I'm smiling Give me all your love Your hands build me up when I'm sinking Touch me and my troubles all fnade Lady, from the moment I saw you Standing all alone You gave all the love that I needed So shy, like a child who has grown 'Cause you're my lady of the morning Love shines in your eyes Sparkling, clear, and lovely You're my lady Lady, turns me on when I'm lonely Give me all your charm Evenings when she lays down beside me She takes me gently into her arms Lady of the morning Love shines in your eyes Sparkling, clear, and lovely You're my lady Lady of the morning Love shines in your eyes Sparkling, clear, and lovely You're my ... lady

A Day

  A Day Written by John Curulewski Lead vocals by John Curulewski Listen on YouTube Woke up in rainy autumn Morning mist beginning to wane And the birds of the winged trees Calling my name Careless the clouds above me The wind is gently lifting my hair Where the rivers of the wind fall light rain Now stand bare Listen to the flowing streams Golden in the shelter of my dreams Playing a song on the meadow that echoes with love Walk alone through the garden The leaves are wet with morning's tear And the whispering of someone Is drawing me near Content to rest awhile Pondering the motion of time Over unforgotten memories Dipped in wine Listen to the flowing streams Golden in the shelter of my dreams Playing a song on the meadow that echoes with love [extended instrumental solos] The dawn of dusk is falling around me The night air now restless and dank Yet the fields are specked with flowers Few and rank Moon reflecting off the water Rippling an image to me Of the w

You Better Ask

  You Better Ask Written by John Curulewski Lead vocals by John Curulewski I met a little girl sittin' in the front Pardon me miss for seeming quite so blunt But your beauty and your presence Just took me by surprise She said there's a meaning in my sexy stare But that's my old man that's sittin' over there And that's not the look of love that he's got for you in his eyes You know what you've gotta do There's no one else to blame but you Nobody's gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask You know what you've gotta do There's no one else to blame but you Nobody's gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask I took her home and we was doing nip and tuck How was I to know that I was out of luck And before I knew it, the devil took my soul In two weeks’ time it seemed to be the steady con She told me "you're about to be a papa, John" And I just looked around and tried to crawl into the nearest h

Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead vocals by Dennis DeYoung Listen on YouTube Father You're a sad old man Your tawdry vest is gray Memories Of a former man Are all your words convey Father Oh can't you see The tarnished robe you wear A crown For fools The people laugh You never seem to hear Father You're life's a ship That's never been to sea The bottle That surrounds your life You'll sail eternally [keyboard solo] Children Please understand A man must stand alone And face a world He'll never know And never call his own Ba ba bum bum Ba ba bum bum Ba ba bum bum Ba ba bum bum Ba ba bum bum Ba ba bum bum Ba ba bum bum Ba ba bum bum...

Earl Of Roseland

Earl Of Roseland Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead vocals by Dennis DeYoung Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Penny pitching on the walk Waiting for the bus to arrive Me and Davy playing sport Watching for the cops to go by Spider Man and the Human Torch They cover Barney's Newsstand Morning crowds start to gather round Fast Finger steals what he can Morning leaves for the afternoon The boys show up on time In the streets near the people's store Below the electrical sign Catch a glimpse of a passing car Raced and ready to drag Then the skirts start to tantalize The boys how they boast and they brag Oh the Earl of Roseland Oh the Earl of Roseland Where has he gone? A memory at dawn You're just a bit of the past [guitar solo] Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh the Earl of Roseland Oh the Earl of Roseland Me and Davy gazing back See ourselves as we were How we laugh when we think of things That we did yesteryear I can see Charlie on the porch Johnny clicking his sticks And two boys I don't ev

I'm Gonna Make You Feel It Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead vocals by James Young Every day I get the feeling When you move on down the street Wondering when I'll be your lover And you'll make my dream complete The way you walk is so inviting That I quiver and I shake The way you move it makes me wonder How much more can I take I'm gonna make you feel it Basically that's what I say I'm gonna make you feel it Cause you want it just that way Every time that we're together My head starts to rock and roll I get this strange electric feeling That I simply can't control I'm gonna make you feel it Basically that's what I say I'm gonna make you feel it Cause you want it just that way [guitar solo] I'm gonna make you feel it I'm gonna make you feel it I'm gonna make you feel it
