Pleasant Valley Sunday lyrics - Carole King
The local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn their song
Serenade the weekend squire
Who just came out to mow his lawn
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Rows of houses that are all the same
And no one seems to care
See Mrs. Gray
She's proud today
Because her roses are in bloom
Mr. Green
He's so serene
He's got a TV in every room
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Mothers complain about how hard life is
And the kids just don't understand
Creature comfort goals
They only numb my soul and make it hard for me to see
My thoughts all seem to stray to places far away
I need a change of scenery
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Is trying hard to learn their song
Serenade the weekend squire
Who just came out to mow his lawn
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Rows of houses that are all the same
And no one seems to care
See Mrs. Gray
She's proud today
Because her roses are in bloom
Mr. Green
He's so serene
He's got a TV in every room
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Mothers complain about how hard life is
And the kids just don't understand
Creature comfort goals
They only numb my soul and make it hard for me to see
My thoughts all seem to stray to places far away
I need a change of scenery
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
So Goes Love lyrics - Carole King
Boy, this is goodbye for us
I'm afraid there's no two ways about it
Now you say you need my love
But you'll just have to learn to live without it
So goes love
Don't try to understand it
So goes love
It never works the way you planned it
When you meant the world to me
That's the time you said you didn't want me
You played around in front of me
You did everything you could to taunt me
So goes love
Don't try to analyze it
So goes love
And when it dies you can't disguise it
It's been said
You made your bed and now you have to lie in it
There's no denying it's a shame
But there's really no one else that you can blame
So goes love
Don't try to understand it
So goes love
It never works the way you planned it
I'm afraid there's no two ways about it
Now you say you need my love
But you'll just have to learn to live without it
So goes love
Don't try to understand it
So goes love
It never works the way you planned it
When you meant the world to me
That's the time you said you didn't want me
You played around in front of me
You did everything you could to taunt me
So goes love
Don't try to analyze it
So goes love
And when it dies you can't disguise it
It's been said
You made your bed and now you have to lie in it
There's no denying it's a shame
But there's really no one else that you can blame
So goes love
Don't try to understand it
So goes love
It never works the way you planned it
Take Care Of My Baby lyrics - Carole King
My tears are fallin' 'cause you've taken her away
And though it really hurts me so
There's something that I've gotta say
Take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Please don't ever make her blu-u-u-ue
Just tell her that you love her
Make sure you're thinking of her
In everything you say and do-o-o-o
Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Now don't you ever make her cry-y-y-y
Just let your love surround her
Paint a rainbow all around her
Don't let her see a cloudy sky
Once upon a time that little girl was mine
If I'd been true, I know she'd never be with you
So, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me
Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me
Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
[Fade]
Just, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
And though it really hurts me so
There's something that I've gotta say
Take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Please don't ever make her blu-u-u-ue
Just tell her that you love her
Make sure you're thinking of her
In everything you say and do-o-o-o
Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Now don't you ever make her cry-y-y-y
Just let your love surround her
Paint a rainbow all around her
Don't let her see a cloudy sky
Once upon a time that little girl was mine
If I'd been true, I know she'd never be with you
So, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me
Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me
Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
[Fade]
Just, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman lyrics - Carole king
Lookin' out on the morning rain
I used to feel uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But your love was the key to my peace of mind
'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like
A natural woman
When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
'Cause if I make you happy I don't need to do more
You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like
A natural woman
Oh, baby, what you've done to me
You make me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You make me feel so alive
You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like
A natural woman
I used to feel uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But your love was the key to my peace of mind
'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like
A natural woman
When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
'Cause if I make you happy I don't need to do more
You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like
A natural woman
Oh, baby, what you've done to me
You make me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You make me feel so alive
You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like
A natural woman
Like Little Children lyrics - Carole King
I don't remember just exactly how it started
All I know is we're both alone and broken-hearted
It doesn't make a bit of sense to me
Why should two people in love have to be
Like little children
Who don't know wrong from right
Like little children
Who just can't help but fight
Why should two grown people have to act
Like little children
There's no storm that you and I can't weather
If we just take the time to talk it out together
But when talkin' stops, tempers rise
And we both do things that aren't wise
Like little children
Who don't know wrong from right
Like little children
Who just can't help but fight
Why should two grown people have to act
Like little children
Now I'm not sayin' you've got to do
Everything that I say
But you've got to realize
That life is a two-way highway
Let's forget about the past and look to the new horizon
Being happy together is the goal we'll keep our eyes on
Love for each other we never lacked
And, oh, I know that we don't have to act
Like little children
Who don't know wrong from right
Like little children
Who just can't help but fight
Like little children
Like little children
All I know is we're both alone and broken-hearted
It doesn't make a bit of sense to me
Why should two people in love have to be
Like little children
Who don't know wrong from right
Like little children
Who just can't help but fight
Why should two grown people have to act
Like little children
There's no storm that you and I can't weather
If we just take the time to talk it out together
But when talkin' stops, tempers rise
And we both do things that aren't wise
Like little children
Who don't know wrong from right
Like little children
Who just can't help but fight
Why should two grown people have to act
Like little children
Now I'm not sayin' you've got to do
Everything that I say
But you've got to realize
That life is a two-way highway
Let's forget about the past and look to the new horizon
Being happy together is the goal we'll keep our eyes on
Love for each other we never lacked
And, oh, I know that we don't have to act
Like little children
Who don't know wrong from right
Like little children
Who just can't help but fight
Like little children
Like little children
Beautiful lyrics - Carole King
You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes, you will
That you're beautiful as you feel
Waiting at the station with a workday wind a-blowing
I've got nothing to do but watch the passers-by
Mirrored in their faces I see frustration growing
And they don't see it showing, why do I?
You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes, you will
That you're beautiful as you feel
I have often asked myself the reason for sadness
In a world where tears are just a lullaby
If there's any answer, maybe love can end the madness
Maybe not, oh, but we can only try
You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes, you will
That you're beautiful as you feel
And show the world all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes, you will
That you're beautiful as you feel
Waiting at the station with a workday wind a-blowing
I've got nothing to do but watch the passers-by
Mirrored in their faces I see frustration growing
And they don't see it showing, why do I?
You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes, you will
That you're beautiful as you feel
I have often asked myself the reason for sadness
In a world where tears are just a lullaby
If there's any answer, maybe love can end the madness
Maybe not, oh, but we can only try
You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes, you will
That you're beautiful as you feel
Crying In The Rain lyrics - Carole King
I'll never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
All my sorrow and pain
I'll do my crying in the rain
If I wait for cloudy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know that I still love you so
Though the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain
Raindrops falling from heaven
Could never wash away my misery
But since we're not together
I look for stormy weather
To hide the tears I hope you'll never see
Someday when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool, but till then, darling, you'll
Never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
All my sorrow and pain
I'll do my crying in the rain
If I wait for cloudy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know that I still love you so
Though the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain
Raindrops falling from heaven
Could never wash away my misery
But since we're not together
I look for stormy weather
To hide the tears I hope you'll never see
Someday when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool, but till then, darling, you'll
Never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
Way Over Yonder lyrics - Carole King
Way over yonder is a place that I know
Where I can see shelter from hunger and cold
And the sweet-tastin' good life is so easily found
Way over yonder, that's where I'm bound
I know when I get there, the first thing I'll see
Is the sun shining golden, shining right down on me
Then trouble's gonna lose me, worry leave me behind
And I'll stand up proudly in a true peace of mind
Way over yonder is a place I have seen
It's a garden of wisdom from some long ago dream
Maybe tomorrow I'll find my way
To the land where the honey runs in rivers each day
And the sweet-tastin' good life is so easily found
Way over yonder, that's where I'm bound
Way over yonder, that's where I'm bound
Where I can see shelter from hunger and cold
And the sweet-tastin' good life is so easily found
Way over yonder, that's where I'm bound
I know when I get there, the first thing I'll see
Is the sun shining golden, shining right down on me
Then trouble's gonna lose me, worry leave me behind
And I'll stand up proudly in a true peace of mind
Way over yonder is a place I have seen
It's a garden of wisdom from some long ago dream
Maybe tomorrow I'll find my way
To the land where the honey runs in rivers each day
And the sweet-tastin' good life is so easily found
Way over yonder, that's where I'm bound
Way over yonder, that's where I'm bound
Yours Until Tomorrow lyrics - Carole King
Tonight, I hold to nothing
But the feelings in my soul
My heart overflows with
Emotions I just can't control
There's someone you are goin' to
But tonight, I just can't tell right from wrong
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Give me one night of your life
Just be mine till the dawn
Tomorrow the real world
Will come crashing down on me
I know I must lose you
And that's the way it has to be
But tonight, I see no boundaries
So I beg you, before my chance is gone
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Give me one night of your life
So I can go on
Till the dawn's intrusion
Ends this sweet illusion
Make believe you're mine, love
This is not goodbye, love
All I ask is one night
Till the morning sunlight
Won't you stay here in my arms and baby
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Let me be yours until tomorrow
But the feelings in my soul
My heart overflows with
Emotions I just can't control
There's someone you are goin' to
But tonight, I just can't tell right from wrong
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Give me one night of your life
Just be mine till the dawn
Tomorrow the real world
Will come crashing down on me
I know I must lose you
And that's the way it has to be
But tonight, I see no boundaries
So I beg you, before my chance is gone
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Give me one night of your life
So I can go on
Till the dawn's intrusion
Ends this sweet illusion
Make believe you're mine, love
This is not goodbye, love
All I ask is one night
Till the morning sunlight
Won't you stay here in my arms and baby
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Let me be yours until tomorrow
It's Too Late lyrics - Carole King
Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing, or maybe we've stopped trying
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you
But it's too late, baby, it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing, or maybe we've stopped trying
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you
But it's too late, baby, it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
Tapestry lyrics - Carole King
My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue
An everlasting vision of the ever-changing view
A wondrous, woven magic in bits of blue and gold
A tapestry to feel and see, impossible to hold
Once amid the soft silver sadness in the sky
There came a man of fortune, a drifter passing by
He wore a torn and tattered cloth around his leathered hide
And a coat of many colors, yellow-green on either side
He moved with some uncertainty, as if he didn't know
Just what he was there for, or where he ought to go
Once he reached for something golden hanging from a tree
And his hand came down empty
Soon within my tapestry along the rutted road
He sat down on a river rock and turned into a toad
It seemed that he had fallen into someone's wicked spell
And I wept to see him suffer, though I didn't know him well
As I watched in sorrow, there suddenly appeared
A figure gray and ghostly beneath a flowing beard
In times of deepest darkness, I've seen him dressed in black
Now my tapestry's unraveling - he's come to take me back
He's come to take me back
An everlasting vision of the ever-changing view
A wondrous, woven magic in bits of blue and gold
A tapestry to feel and see, impossible to hold
Once amid the soft silver sadness in the sky
There came a man of fortune, a drifter passing by
He wore a torn and tattered cloth around his leathered hide
And a coat of many colors, yellow-green on either side
He moved with some uncertainty, as if he didn't know
Just what he was there for, or where he ought to go
Once he reached for something golden hanging from a tree
And his hand came down empty
Soon within my tapestry along the rutted road
He sat down on a river rock and turned into a toad
It seemed that he had fallen into someone's wicked spell
And I wept to see him suffer, though I didn't know him well
As I watched in sorrow, there suddenly appeared
A figure gray and ghostly beneath a flowing beard
In times of deepest darkness, I've seen him dressed in black
Now my tapestry's unraveling - he's come to take me back
He's come to take me back
Just Once In My Life lyrics - Carole King
There's a lotta things I want, a lotta things that I'd like to be
But girl I don't foresee a rags to riches story for me
There's just one little dream I've got to make come true
There's just one round I've got to win, I can't be a loser with you
And baby, baby
Just once in my life let me get what I want
Girl, don't let me down
Just once in my life let me hold on to
The good thing I've found, don't let me down
Baby, say that you'll be stayin'
'Cause I couldn't face the day if you weren't here by my side
And if you went away then I'd be left without any pride
I've given up on schemes 'cause every one fell through
I've given up so many things, don't ask me to give up on you
And baby, baby
Just once in my life let me get what I want
Girl, don't let me down
Just once in my life let me hold on to
The good thing I've found, don't let me down
Baby, say that you'll be stayin'
That old pot of gold ain't so easy to find
But if you'll stand by me, girl, I'll keep peace of mind
I can't give you the world but I will work hard for you, girl
Yes, I'll work hard (everyday) all my life (you will see)
If you won't leave me (baby, don't leave)
Please don't leave me (oh no don't leave)
Just do this for me, baby
Just once in my life let me get what I want
Girl, don't let me down
Just once in my life let me hold on to
The good thing I've found, don't let me down
Baby, say that you'll be stayin'
Just once in my life let me get what I want
Girl, don't let me down
Just once in my life let me hold on to
The good thing I've found, don't let me down
Just once in my life let me get what I want
Girl, don't let me down
But girl I don't foresee a rags to riches story for me
There's just one little dream I've got to make come true
There's just one round I've got to win, I can't be a loser with you
And baby, baby
Just once in my life let me get what I want

Just once in my life let me hold on to

You've Got A Friend lyrics - Carole King
When you're down in troubles
And you need some love and care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon i will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I'll be there
Yes I will
You've got a friend
If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
And you need some love and care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon i will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I'll be there
Yes I will
You've got a friend
If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
My Favorite Things lyrics - Carole King
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into Springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad.
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into Springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into Springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad.
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into Springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
Carol Of The Bells lyrics - Carole King
Hark! how the bells
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say,
"Throw cares away."
Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer
To young and old
Meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong
That is their song
With joyful ring
All caroling
One seems to hear
Words of good cheer
From ev'rywhere
Filling the air
Oh how they pound,
Raising the sound,
O'er hill and dale,
Telling their tale,
Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
On, on they send
On without end
Their joyful tone
To ev'ry home
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say,
"Throw cares away."
Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer
To young and old
Meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong
That is their song
With joyful ring
All caroling
One seems to hear
Words of good cheer
From ev'rywhere
Filling the air
Oh how they pound,
Raising the sound,
O'er hill and dale,
Telling their tale,
Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
On, on they send
On without end
Their joyful tone
To ev'ry home
Sleigh Ride lyrics - Carole King
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,
Ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you,
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "Yoo hoo,"
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
Let's go, Let's look at the show,
We're riding in a wonderland of snow.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
It's grand, Just holding your hand,
We're gliding along with a song
Of a wintry fairy land.
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.
There's a birthday party
At the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs
We love to sing without a single stop,
At the fireplace while we watch
The chestnuts pop. Pop! pop! pop!
There's a happy feeling
Nothing in the world can buy,
When they pass around the chocolate
And the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print
By Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives!
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,
Ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you,
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "Yoo hoo,"
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
Let's go, Let's look at the show,
We're riding in a wonderland of snow.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
It's grand, Just holding your hand,
We're gliding along with a song
Of a wintry fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.
Ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you,

Christmas Paradise lyrics - Carole King
Snow cones in the sun and palm trees swaying
Down on the beach Feliz Navidad is playing
And ohhh, I oughtta miss the Christmas as I always knew
But here I am in paradise with you, just me and you, wishes come true
No crackling fire or chestnuts roasting,
But we got some coconuts and rum for toasting
Don't need a snowman we'll build castles in the sand
I'm in a Christmas Paradise
You and me underneath a beach umbrella, we don't need no mistletoe at all
No need to hurry we don't have to worry there's no where else to be
But the starry sky and the Christmas lights when the sun sets on the sea
Aqui en el Paraiso
I'm in a Christmas Paradise
You and me in Christmas Paradise
Dime que si, on the beach it's very nice
You and me in Christmas Paradise
Aqui en el Paraiso
I'm in Christmas Paradise with you
You and me in Christmas Paradise
Dime que si, on the beach it's very nice
You and me in Christmas Paradise
Aqui en el Paraiso
It's Christmas time and I'm in Paradise
We won't miss the snow at all
Cause I'm with you in Christmas Paradise
Down on the beach Feliz Navidad is playing
And ohhh, I oughtta miss the Christmas as I always knew
But here I am in paradise with you, just me and you, wishes come true
No crackling fire or chestnuts roasting,
But we got some coconuts and rum for toasting
Don't need a snowman we'll build castles in the sand
I'm in a Christmas Paradise
You and me underneath a beach umbrella, we don't need no mistletoe at all
No need to hurry we don't have to worry there's no where else to be
But the starry sky and the Christmas lights when the sun sets on the sea
Aqui en el Paraiso
I'm in a Christmas Paradise
You and me in Christmas Paradise
Dime que si, on the beach it's very nice
You and me in Christmas Paradise
Aqui en el Paraiso
I'm in Christmas Paradise with you
You and me in Christmas Paradise
Dime que si, on the beach it's very nice
You and me in Christmas Paradise
Aqui en el Paraiso
It's Christmas time and I'm in Paradise
We won't miss the snow at all
Cause I'm with you in Christmas Paradise
Every Day Will Be Like A Holiday lyrics - Carole King
[Chorus:]
Every day will be like a holiday
With my baby
When my baby comes home
She's been alone such a long time
Christmas is coming
I've got her on my mind
I bought a present today
Some sweet perfume
I'll wait for my baby
You know she'll be home soon
[Chorus]
I'm never worried
I never sit by the phone
Cause come Christmas time
I'll never be alone
See everybody
On this holiday
I know this feeling somewhere
Never gonna go away
[Chorus]
Every day will be like a holiday
With my baby
When my baby comes home
She's been alone such a long time
Christmas is coming
I've got her on my mind
I bought a present today
Some sweet perfume
I'll wait for my baby
You know she'll be home soon
[Chorus]
I'm never worried
I never sit by the phone
Cause come Christmas time
I'll never be alone
See everybody
On this holiday
I know this feeling somewhere
Never gonna go away
[Chorus]

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas lyrics - Carole King
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
Our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
Our troubles will be miles away.
Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.
Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
Let your heart be light
From now on,
Our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
Our troubles will be miles away.
Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.
Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm lyrics - Carole King
The snow is snowing and the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
For I've got my love to keep me warm
I can't remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form!
Oh, what do I care if icicles form?
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm

Do You Hear What I Hear lyrics - Carole King
Said the nightman to the little lamb
Do you see what I see
Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see
A star, a star
Dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite
Said the little lamb to the shepard boy
Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky, shepard boy
Do you hear what I hear
A song, a song
High above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea
Said the shepard boy the mighty king
Do you know what I know
In your palace warm, mighty king
Do you know what I know
A child, a child
Shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver a gold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace, people everywhere
Listen to what I say
A child, a child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light
Do you see what I see
Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see
A star, a star
Dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite

A child, a child
Shivers in the cold

Let us bring him silver and gold
Said the king to the people everywhere

A child, a child
Sleeping in the night

New Year's Day lyrics - Carole King
Everybody makes a dream this time of year
From now on it's gonna be good for you
All your friends and family
Gather 'round in peace and harmony
It's a time to remember your blessings
It's a time to remember your goals
All the people in your life
Be they new friends or old
And it could be the time of your life
Everything's gonna turn out alright
It'll be okay, in every way makin' it better
It's New Year's Day
And should auld acquaintance be forgot
Keep everything they gave you
An' though they may seem so far away
You walk with them each and everyday
And I know sometimes the road isn't easy
And we've said something we'd never wished to say
Once a few rounds you loved and lost
You pick yourself up and take a chance again
And it could be the time of your life
Everything's gonna turn out alright
It'll be okay, in every way makin' it better
It's New Year's Day
Countdown's dawn
And we'll sway along with the band
Just one more dance
May all your dreams come true
And it could be the time of your life
Everything's gonna turn out alright
It'll be okay, in every way makin' it better
It's New Year's Day
New Year's Day
From now on it's gonna be good for you
All your friends and family
Gather 'round in peace and harmony
It's a time to remember your blessings
It's a time to remember your goals
All the people in your life
Be they new friends or old
And it could be the time of your life
Everything's gonna turn out alright
It'll be okay, in every way makin' it better
It's New Year's Day
And should auld acquaintance be forgot
Keep everything they gave you
An' though they may seem so far away
You walk with them each and everyday
And I know sometimes the road isn't easy
And we've said something we'd never wished to say
Once a few rounds you loved and lost
You pick yourself up and take a chance again
And it could be the time of your life
Everything's gonna turn out alright
It'll be okay, in every way makin' it better
It's New Year's Day
Countdown's dawn
And we'll sway along with the band
Just one more dance
May all your dreams come true
And it could be the time of your life
Everything's gonna turn out alright
It'll be okay, in every way makin' it better
It's New Year's Day

Blossom lyrics - Carole King (feat. James Taylor)
Blossom, smile some sunshine down my way lately, I've been lonesome.
Blossom, it's been much too long a day, seems my dreams have frozen, melt my cares away.
Send the sunshine down my way whenever you call my name,
I know what you mean to say to me, girl, it's all the same.
Blossom, there's any empty road behind, sit you down beside me.
Blossom, there's a sweet dream on my mind, there's a song inside me, take these chains away.
Now, send the sunshine down my way whenever you call my name,
I know what you mean to say to me, girl, it's all the same.
Blossom, smile some sunshine down my way lately, I've been lonesome.
Blossom, it's been much too long a day, seems my dreams have frozen, melt my cares away.
La la la la la la la...
Blossom, it's been much too long a day, seems my dreams have frozen, melt my cares away.
Send the sunshine down my way whenever you call my name,

Blossom, there's a sweet dream on my mind, there's a song inside me, take these chains away.
Now, send the sunshine down my way whenever you call my name,

Blossom, smile some sunshine down my way lately, I've been lonesome.
Blossom, it's been much too long a day, seems my dreams have frozen, melt my cares away.

So Far Away lyrics - Carole King
So far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're just time away
Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
Oh, how I wish I could
But you're so far away
One more song about moving along the highway
Can't say much of anything that's new
If I could only work this life out my way
I'd rather spend it being close to you
But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're so far away
Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothing else to do but close my mind
I sure hope the road don't come to own me
There's so many dreams I've yet to find
But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're just time away
Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
Oh, how I wish I could
But you're so far away
One more song about moving along the highway
Can't say much of anything that's new
If I could only work this life out my way
I'd rather spend it being close to you
But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're so far away
Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothing else to do but close my mind
I sure hope the road don't come to own me
There's so many dreams I've yet to find
But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're so far away
Machine Gun Kelly lyrics - Carole King (feat. James Taylor)
I'll tell you about Machine Gun Kelly he rode along the outlaw trail.
Machine Gun Kelly was a simple man but the woman was as hard as hell.
Watch out Machine Gun, don't let her run you round.
Don't let the woman put you six feet in the ground, Machine Gun.
I'll tell you about Katherine Kelly, tired of being such small time, now.
Figured they'd kidnap a rich man's son, make it in the world of crime.
Watch out Machine Gun, don't let her run you round.
Don't let the woman put you six feet in the ground, Machine Gun.
You'd better watch out Machine Gun Kelly, careful of what you do, now.
If you keep listening to your old lady, ain't no telling what'll happen to you, now,
Machine Gun.
The government boys they came for Machine Gun, took the poor boy away.
Stuck him in a hole in Leavenworth prison where he lived until his dying day.
Watch out Machine Gun, don't let her put you down.
Don't let a woman make you out to be a clown, Machine Gun.
Watch out Machine Gun.
Machine Gun Kelly was a simple man but the woman was as hard as hell.
Watch out Machine Gun, don't let her run you round.
Don't let the woman put you six feet in the ground, Machine Gun.
I'll tell you about Katherine Kelly, tired of being such small time, now.

Carolina In My Mind lyrics - Carole King (feat. James Taylor)
In my mind I'm going to Carolina. Can't you see the sunshine, can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind? Yes, I'm going to Carolina in my mind.
Karen she's the silver sun, you best walk her way and watch it shine,
Watch her watch the morning come.
A silver tear appearing now I'm crying, ain't I? I'm going to Carolina in my mind.
There ain't no doubt in no ones mind that loves the finest thing around,
Whisper something soft and kind.
And hey, babe, the sky's on fire, I'm dying, ain't I? I'm going to Carolina in my mind.
In my mind I'm going to Carolina. Can't you see the sunshine, can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind? Yes, I'm going to Carolina in my mind.
Dark and silent late last night, I think I might have heard the highway calling.
Geese in flight and dogs that bite.
And signs that might be omens say I'm going, going, going to Carolina in my mind.
With a holy host of others standing round me, still I'm on the dark side of the moon.
And it seems like it goes on like this forever, you must forgive me
If I'm up and in my mind I'm going to Carolina,
Can't you see the sunshine can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind? Yes, I'm going to Carolina in my mind.
In my mind I'm going to Carolina. Can't you see the sunshine, can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind? Yes, I'm going to Carolina in my mind.
Gotta make it back home again soon, gotta make it back on home again soon,
Gotta make it back to Carolina soon, can't hang around, no babe, gotta make it back home again,
Gotta make it back to Carolina soon...
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind? Yes, I'm going to Carolina in my mind.
Karen she's the silver sun, you best walk her way and watch it shine,
Watch her watch the morning come.
A silver tear appearing now I'm crying, ain't I? I'm going to Carolina in my mind.
There ain't no doubt in no ones mind that loves the finest thing around,
Whisper something soft and kind.
And hey, babe, the sky's on fire, I'm dying, ain't I? I'm going to Carolina in my mind.

Gotta make it back home again soon, gotta make it back on home again soon,
Gotta make it back to Carolina soon, can't hang around, no babe, gotta make it back home again,
Gotta make it back to Carolina soon...
It's Too Late lyrics - Carole King
Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing, or maybe we've stopped trying
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you
But it's too late, baby, it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing, or maybe we've stopped trying
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you
But it's too late, baby, it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
Smackwater Jack lyrics - Carole King
Now Smackwater Jack, he bought a shotgun
'Cause he was in the mood for a little confrontation
He just let it all hang loose
He didn't think about the noose
He couldn't take no more abuse
So he shot down the congregation
You can't talk to a man
With a shotgun in his hand
Shotgun
Now Big Jim the chief stood for law and order
He called for the guard to come and surround the border
Now from his bulldog mouth
As he led the posse south
Came the cry, we got to ride
Clean up the streets for our wives and our daughters
You can't talk to a man
When he don't want to understand
No, no, no, no, no, no
The account of the capture wasn't in the papers
But you know, they hanged ole Smack right then instead of later
You know the people were quite pleased
'Cause the outlaw had been seized
And on the whole, it was a very good year
For the undertaker
You know, you know, you can't talk to a man
With a shotgun in his hand
Shotgun in his hand
Smackwater Jack, yeah
Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun
Yeah, Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun
Smackwater Jack, yeah
Smackwater Jack, yeah
Talkin' about Smackwater Jack, yeah
Talkin' about Smackwater Jack, oh
Talkin' about Jack and his shotgun,
Talkin' about Smack, talkin' about Jack
Smackwater Jack, yeah
'Cause he was in the mood for a little confrontation
He just let it all hang loose
He didn't think about the noose
He couldn't take no more abuse
So he shot down the congregation
You can't talk to a man
With a shotgun in his hand
Shotgun
Now Big Jim the chief stood for law and order
He called for the guard to come and surround the border
Now from his bulldog mouth
As he led the posse south

Talkin' about Smackwater Jack, yeah

Talkin' about Jack and his shotgun,
Talkin' about Smack, talkin' about Jack

Something In The Way She Moves lyrics - Carole King (feat. James Taylor)
Something in the way she moves, or looks my way, or calls my name
That seems to leave this troubled world behind.
And if I'm feeling down and blue or troubled by some foolish game,
She always seems to make me change my mind..
And I feel fine anytime she's around me now, she's around me now almost about all the time.
And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now.
She's been with me now quite a long, long time and I feel fine.
Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning
And I find myself careening in places where I should not let me go.
She has the power to go where no one else can find me and to silently remind me
Of the happiness and the good times that I know, and then I just got to go then.
It isn't what she's got to say but how she thinks and where she's been.
To me, the words are nice, the way they sound.
I like to hear them best that way, it doesn't much matter what they mean.
She says them mostly just to calm me down
And I feel fine anytime she's around me now, she's around me now almost about all the time.
And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now.
She's been with me now quite a long, long time and I feel fine.
That seems to leave this troubled world behind.
And if I'm feeling down and blue or troubled by some foolish game,
She always seems to make me change my mind..
And I feel fine anytime she's around me now, she's around me now almost about all the time.
And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now.
She's been with me now quite a long, long time and I feel fine.
Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning
And I find myself careening in places where I should not let me go.
She has the power to go where no one else can find me and to silently remind me
Of the happiness and the good times that I know, and then I just got to go then.
It isn't what she's got to say but how she thinks and where she's been.
To me, the words are nice, the way they sound.
I like to hear them best that way, it doesn't much matter what they mean.
She says them mostly just to calm me down
And I feel fine anytime she's around me now, she's around me now almost about all the time.
And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now.
She's been with me now quite a long, long time and I feel fine.
Will You Love Me Tomorrow lyrics - Carole King
Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
Can I believe the magic of your sighs
Will you still love me tomorrow
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun
I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
Can I believe the magic of your sighs
Will you still love me tomorrow
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun
I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
Country Road lyrics - carole king (feat. James Taylor)
Take to the highway, won't you lend me your name?
Your way and my way seem to be one and the same.
Mamma don't understand it, she wants to know where I've been.
I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool to want to pass that way again,
But I could feel it on a country road.
Sail on home to Jesus, won't you good girls and boys.
I'm all in pieces, you can have your own choice.
But I can hear a heavenly band full of angels and they're coming to set me free.
I don't know nothing 'bout the why or when but I can tell that it's bound to be,
Because I could feel it, child, yeah, on a country road.
I guess my feet know where they want me to go walking on a country road.
Take to the highway, won't you lend me your name?
Your way and my way seem to be one and the same.
Mamma don't understand it, she wants to know where I've been.
I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool to want to pass that way again,
But I could feel it on a country road.
Walk on down, walk on down, walk on down, walk on down, walk on down a country road.
Na na na na na na na na na na na, country road, yeah, walking on a country road...
Your way and my way seem to be one and the same.
Mamma don't understand it, she wants to know where I've been.
I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool to want to pass that way again,
But I could feel it on a country road.
Sail on home to Jesus, won't you good girls and boys.
I'm all in pieces, you can have your own choice.
But I can hear a heavenly band full of angels and they're coming to set me free.
I don't know nothing 'bout the why or when but I can tell that it's bound to be,
Because I could feel it, child, yeah, on a country road.
I guess my feet know where they want me to go walking on a country road.
Take to the highway, won't you lend me your name?
Your way and my way seem to be one and the same.
Mamma don't understand it, she wants to know where I've been.
I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool to want to pass that way again,
But I could feel it on a country road.
Walk on down, walk on down, walk on down, walk on down, walk on down a country road.
Na na na na na na na na na na na, country road, yeah, walking on a country road...
Fire And Rain lyrics - carole king (feat. James Taylor)
Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone.
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you.
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song,
I just can't remember who to send it to.
I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you again.
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus, You've got to help me make a stand.
You've just got to see me through another day.
My body's aching and my time is at hand and I won't make it any other way.
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you again.
Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun.
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around.
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come.
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground.
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend,
But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again, now.
Thought I'd see you one more time again.
There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now.
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain, now.
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you.
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song,
I just can't remember who to send it to.
I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you again.
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus, You've got to help me make a stand.
You've just got to see me through another day.
My body's aching and my time is at hand and I won't make it any other way.
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you again.
Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun.
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around.
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come.
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground.
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend,
But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again, now.
Thought I'd see you one more time again.
There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now.
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain, now.
Sweet Baby James lyrics - Carole King (feat. James Taylor)
There is a young cowboy, he lives on the range. His horse and his cattle are his only companions.
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons, waiting for summer, his pastures to change.
And as the moon rises he sits by his fire, thinking about women and glasses of beer.
And closing his eyes as the doggies retire, he sings out a song which is soft but it's clear
As if maybe someone could hear...
Goodnight you moon light ladies, rock-a-bye sweet baby James.
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose, won't you let me go down in my dreams?
And rock-a-bye sweet baby James.
Now the first of December was covered with snow
And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston.
Though the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frosting,
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go.
There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway,
A song that they sing when they take to the sea,
A song that they sing of their home in the sky, maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep,
But singing works just fine for me.
So, goodnight you moon light ladies, rock-a-bye sweet baby James.
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose, won't you let me go down in my dreams?
And rock-a-bye sweet baby James.
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons, waiting for summer, his pastures to change.
And as the moon rises he sits by his fire, thinking about women and glasses of beer.
And closing his eyes as the doggies retire, he sings out a song which is soft but it's clear
As if maybe someone could hear...
Goodnight you moon light ladies, rock-a-bye sweet baby James.
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose, won't you let me go down in my dreams?
And rock-a-bye sweet baby James.
Now the first of December was covered with snow
And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston.
Though the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frosting,
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go.
There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway,
A song that they sing when they take to the sea,
A song that they sing of their home in the sky, maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep,
But singing works just fine for me.
So, goodnight you moon light ladies, rock-a-bye sweet baby James.
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose, won't you let me go down in my dreams?
And rock-a-bye sweet baby James.
I Feel The Earth Move lyrics - Carole King
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around
Ooh, baby, when I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh, darling, I can't stand it
When you look at me that way
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around
Oh, darling, when you're near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that my emotions
Are something I just can't tame
I've just got to have you, baby
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I just lose control
Down to my very soul
I get a hot and cold all over
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down,
Tumbling down, tumbling down...
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around
Ooh, baby, when I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh, darling, I can't stand it
When you look at me that way
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around
Oh, darling, when you're near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that my emotions
Are something I just can't tame
I've just got to have you, baby
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I just lose control
Down to my very soul
I get a hot and cold all over
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down,
Tumbling down, tumbling down...
You've Got A Friend lyrics - carole king (Live at the Troubadour)
When you're down and troubled
And you need some love and care
And nothing, oh, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
It's Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall
All you got to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah

Up On The Roof lyrics - carole king
When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
Let me tell you now
When I come home feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I get away from the hustling crowds
And all that rat race noise down in the street
Up on the roof
On the roof's the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Oh, let's go up on the roof
At night the stars put on a show for free
And darling, you can share it all with me
I keep a-telling you
Right smack dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble-proof
Up on the roof
So if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two, up on the roof
Up on the roof, everything is allright
Up on the roof, oh, come on, baby
Up on the roof
Up on the roof
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
Let me tell you now
When I come home feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I get away from the hustling crowds
And all that rat race noise down in the street
Up on the roof
On the roof's the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Oh, let's go up on the roof
At night the stars put on a show for free
And darling, you can share it all with me
I keep a-telling you
Right smack dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble-proof
Up on the roof
So if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two, up on the roof
Up on the roof, everything is allright
Up on the roof, oh, come on, baby
Up on the roof
Up on the roof
You Can Close Your Eyes lyrics - carole king (feat. James Taylor)
Well the sun is surely sinking down, but the moon is slowly rising.
So this old world must still be spinning round and I still love you.
So close your eyes, you can close your eyes, it's all right.
I don't know no love songs and I can't sing the blues anymore.
But I can sing this song and you can sing this song when I'm gone.
It won't be long before another day, we gonna have a good time.
And no one's gonna take that time away. You can stay as long as you like.
So close your eyes, you can close your eyes, it's all right.
I don't know no love songs and I can't sing the blues anymore.
But I can sing this song and you can sing this song when I'm gone.
So this old world must still be spinning round and I still love you.
So close your eyes, you can close your eyes, it's all right.
I don't know no love songs and I can't sing the blues anymore.
But I can sing this song and you can sing this song when I'm gone.
It won't be long before another day, we gonna have a good time.
And no one's gonna take that time away. You can stay as long as you like.
So close your eyes, you can close your eyes, it's all right.
I don't know no love songs and I can't sing the blues anymore.
But I can sing this song and you can sing this song when I'm gone.
Welcome To My Living Room lyrics - Carole King
Welcome to my living room
It's not a womb, it's not a tomb
Not a June bride or a December groom
Tonight, here in Hyannis, we'll be playing at a reasonable volume
Here in my living room
I'm gonna play some songs for you
There are so many I'd like to do
If I don't get to them all, I hope you'll forgive me
'Cause I'm 62, and there's so many I'd like to do, old and new
But I'll try to do all I can in the time they give me
Let's set aside all the fussing and fighting
And make this night about songwriting
Sing and play some favorite tunes
Welcome to my living room
It's not a womb, it's not a tomb
Not a June bride or a December groom
Tonight, here in Hyannis, we'll be playing at a reasonable volume
Here in my living room
I'm gonna play some songs for you
There are so many I'd like to do
If I don't get to them all, I hope you'll forgive me
'Cause I'm 62, and there's so many I'd like to do, old and new
But I'll try to do all I can in the time they give me
Let's set aside all the fussing and fighting
And make this night about songwriting
Sing and play some favorite tunes
Welcome to my living room
Peace In The Valley lyrics - Carole King
Looking out my window
Peace in the valley just don't come
Though I know that man's my brother
And that I'm the selfish one
The hour is getting later
It's time we had begun
Knowing something's one thing
But the race must still be run
Take care of little jealousies
And talk that kills for fun
And hold your heart in readiness
It's so easy to come undone
But I think I saw a brand new light
Coming over the horizon
Brighter than all the others
And it says all men are brothers under the skin
Brothers under the skin
Looking out my window
Peace in the valley just don't come
Though I know that she's my sister
And that I'm the selfish one
And I look at all the people
And I love the ones I can
And I wonder if the dream will be
Or be turned into sand
Still I think I saw a brand new light
Coming over the horizon
Brighter than all the others
And it says all men are brothers under the skin
Brothers under the skin
Peace in the valley just don't come
Peace in the valley just don't come
Though I know that man's my brother
And that I'm the selfish one
The hour is getting later
It's time we had begun
Knowing something's one thing
But the race must still be run
Take care of little jealousies
And talk that kills for fun
And hold your heart in readiness
It's so easy to come undone
But I think I saw a brand new light
Coming over the horizon
Brighter than all the others
And it says all men are brothers under the skin
Brothers under the skin
Looking out my window
Peace in the valley just don't come
Though I know that she's my sister
And that I'm the selfish one
And I look at all the people
And I love the ones I can
And I wonder if the dream will be
Or be turned into sand
Still I think I saw a brand new light
Coming over the horizon
Brighter than all the others
And it says all men are brothers under the skin
Brothers under the skin
Peace in the valley just don't come
Love Makes The World lyrics - Carole King
There was trouble in my mind tonight
Somethin' inside didn't feel quite right
Then I saw your face in the moonlight
And I was right beside U
Don't need words that we useta use
It goes deeper than the words we choose
Can't lose - I wanna spread the news
U got love inside U
Some days it's hard to know what you're feelin'
I've been down that road before
I can't stop believing
Love makes the world go 'round
As long as you're a part of me
Nothin's gonna take me down, oh
Yeah
Last winter when the snowfall hit
Cold city - it was hard to commit
You were out there lookin' for the perfect fit
And I was right beside U
Nothin' real comes overnight
U weren't sure if it felt right
But sometimes a love can move your life
If U let it guide U
Baby, U got to take love where you can find it
Just walk right through that door
I can't stop believing
Love makes the world go 'round
As long as I'm a part of U
Nothin's gonna take U down, oh
Somethin' inside didn't feel quite right
Then I saw your face in the moonlight
And I was right beside U
Don't need words that we useta use
It goes deeper than the words we choose
Can't lose - I wanna spread the news
U got love inside U
Some days it's hard to know what you're feelin'
I've been down that road before
I can't stop believing
Love makes the world go 'round
As long as you're a part of me
Nothin's gonna take me down, oh
Yeah
Last winter when the snowfall hit
Cold city - it was hard to commit
You were out there lookin' for the perfect fit
And I was right beside U
Nothin' real comes overnight
U weren't sure if it felt right
But sometimes a love can move your life
If U let it guide U
Baby, U got to take love where you can find it
Just walk right through that door
I can't stop believing
Love makes the world go 'round
As long as I'm a part of U
Nothin's gonna take U down, oh
Now And Forever lyrics - Carole King
Now and forever, you are a part of me
And the memory cuts like a knife
Didn't we find the ecstasy, didn't we share the daylight
When you walked into my life
Now and forever, I'll remember
All the promises still unbroken
And think about all the words between us
That never needed to be spoken
We had a moment, just one moment
That will last beyond a dream, beyond a lifetime
We are the lucky ones
Some people never get to do all we got to do
Now and forever, I will always think of you
Didn't we come together, didn't we live together
Didn't we cry together
Didn't we play together, didn't we love together
And together we lit up the world
I miss the tears, I miss the laughter
I miss the day we met and all that followed after
Sometimes I wish I could always be with you
The way we used to do
Now and forever, I will always think of you
Now and forever, I will always be with you
And the memory cuts like a knife
Didn't we find the ecstasy, didn't we share the daylight
When you walked into my life
Now and forever, I'll remember
All the promises still unbroken
And think about all the words between us
That never needed to be spoken
We had a moment, just one moment
That will last beyond a dream, beyond a lifetime
We are the lucky ones
Some people never get to do all we got to do
Now and forever, I will always think of you
Didn't we come together, didn't we live together
Didn't we cry together
Didn't we play together, didn't we love together
And together we lit up the world
I miss the tears, I miss the laughter
I miss the day we met and all that followed after
Sometimes I wish I could always be with you
The way we used to do
Now and forever, I will always think of you
Now and forever, I will always be with you
Where You Lead lyrics - Carole King
Wanting you the way I do
I only want to be with you
And I would go to the ends of the earth
'Cause, darling, to me that's what you're worth
Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead
If you're out on the road
Feeling lonely and so cold
All you have to do is call my name
And I'll be there on the next train
Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead
I always wanted a real home with flowers on the window sill
But if you want to live in New York City, honey, you know I will
I never thought I could get satisfaction from just one man
But, if anyone could keep me happy, you're the one who can
And where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead
I only want to be with you
And I would go to the ends of the earth
'Cause, darling, to me that's what you're worth
Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead
If you're out on the road
Feeling lonely and so cold
All you have to do is call my name
And I'll be there on the next train
Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead
I always wanted a real home with flowers on the window sill
But if you want to live in New York City, honey, you know I will
I never thought I could get satisfaction from just one man
But, if anyone could keep me happy, you're the one who can
And where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead
Lay Down My Life lyrics - Carole King
As I walk away
My world comes tumbling down
That's allright
You'll go home again without me
Where will I go tomorrow
It doesn't matter, if you want me to stay
Should I turn around, come back to you
Or should I keep on walking away
It feels so good with you
It feels so right with you
But I will bring you sorrow
If I stay with you
Now if I hurt you, forgive me
Try not to lose faith in me
You know I would never hurt you intentionally
What will I do tomorrow
Without your love I would surely lose my way
And rush headlong into nowhere
On a ghost highway
It feels so good with you
It feels so right with you
But I will bring you sorrow
If I stay with you
I would lay down my life for you
I kept going on, when going on
Made no real sense at all
But it's no good now, it's all clear to me
Now that my back is against the wall
How will you get through tomorrow
It doesn't matter, I know you will
And we'll be together forever
Bound by the way we made each other feel
And I will lay down my life for you
I will lay down my life for you
'Cause it feels so good with you
Yes, it feels so right with you
I will lay down my life for you
My world comes tumbling down
That's allright
You'll go home again without me
Where will I go tomorrow
It doesn't matter, if you want me to stay
Should I turn around, come back to you
Or should I keep on walking away
It feels so good with you
It feels so right with you
But I will bring you sorrow
If I stay with you
Now if I hurt you, forgive me
Try not to lose faith in me
You know I would never hurt you intentionally
What will I do tomorrow
Without your love I would surely lose my way
And rush headlong into nowhere
On a ghost highway
It feels so good with you
It feels so right with you
But I will bring you sorrow
If I stay with you
I would lay down my life for you
I kept going on, when going on
Made no real sense at all
But it's no good now, it's all clear to me
Now that my back is against the wall
How will you get through tomorrow
It doesn't matter, I know you will
And we'll be together forever
Bound by the way we made each other feel
And I will lay down my life for you
I will lay down my life for you
'Cause it feels so good with you
Yes, it feels so right with you
I will lay down my life for you
Jazzman lyrics - carole king
Lift me, won't you lift me above the old routine
Make it nice, play it clean, Jazzman
When the Jazzman's testifyin'
A faithless man believes
He can sing you into paradise
Or bring you to your knees
It's a gospel kind of feelin'
A touch of Georgia slide
A song of pure revival
And a style that's sanctified
Jazzman, take my blues away
Make my pain the same as yours
With every change you play
Jazzman, oh, Jazzman
When the Jazzman's signifyin'
And the band is windin' low
It's the late night side of morning
In the darkness of his soul
He can fill a room with sadness
As he fills his horn with tears
He can cry like a fallen angel
When risin' time is near
Jazzman, take my blues away
Make my pain the same as yours
With every change you play
Oh, lift me, won't you lift me with every turnaround
Play it sweetly, take me down, oh, Jazzman
Make it nice, play it clean, Jazzman
When the Jazzman's testifyin'
A faithless man believes
He can sing you into paradise
Or bring you to your knees
It's a gospel kind of feelin'
A touch of Georgia slide
A song of pure revival
And a style that's sanctified
Jazzman, take my blues away
Make my pain the same as yours
With every change you play
Jazzman, oh, Jazzman
When the Jazzman's signifyin'
And the band is windin' low
It's the late night side of morning
In the darkness of his soul
He can fill a room with sadness
As he fills his horn with tears
He can cry like a fallen angel
When risin' time is near
Jazzman, take my blues away
Make my pain the same as yours
With every change you play
Oh, lift me, won't you lift me with every turnaround
Play it sweetly, take me down, oh, Jazzman
Smackwater Jack lyrics - carole king
Now Smackwater Jack, he bought a shotgun
'Cause he was in the mood for a little confrontation
He just let it all hang loose
He didn't think about the noose
He couldn't take no more abuse
So he shot down the congregation
You can't talk to a man
With a shotgun in his hand
Shotgun
Now Big Jim the chief stood for law and order
He called for the guard to come and surround the border
Now from his bulldog mouth
As he led the posse south
Came the cry, we got to ride
Clean up the streets for our wives and our daughters
You can't talk to a man
When he don't want to understand
No, no, no, no, no, no
The account of the capture wasn't in the papers
But you know, they hanged ole Smack right then instead of later
You know the people were quite pleased
'Cause the outlaw had been seized
And on the whole, it was a very good year
For the undertaker
You know, you know, you can't talk to a man
With a shotgun in his hand
Shotgun in his hand
Smackwater Jack, yeah
Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun
Yeah, Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun
Smackwater Jack, yeah
Smackwater Jack, yeah
Talkin' about Smackwater Jack, yeah
Talkin' about Smackwater Jack, oh
Talkin' about Jack and his shotgun,
Talkin' about Smack, talkin' about Jack
Smackwater Jack, yeah
'Cause he was in the mood for a little confrontation
He just let it all hang loose
He didn't think about the noose
He couldn't take no more abuse
So he shot down the congregation
You can't talk to a man
With a shotgun in his hand
Shotgun
Now Big Jim the chief stood for law and order

Wishful Thinking lyrics - carole king
I see you, but you don't see me
Like a ghost of the future, hovering dark and dreamy
You fade in and out of the mist
Do you even exist, except in my wishful thinking
I reach for you, but I can't touch you
I feel you just beyond a star
Do you know how much you are all I ever wanted
Is it too much too soon
Am I foolishly dreaming
Just baying at the moon
Playing impossible visions like an elementary tune
How I wish that I could realize my heart
But it's only wishful thinking on my part
Like a ghost of the future, hovering dark and dreamy
You fade in and out of the mist
Do you even exist, except in my wishful thinking
I reach for you, but I can't touch you
I feel you just beyond a star
Do you know how much you are all I ever wanted
Is it too much too soon
Am I foolishly dreaming
Just baying at the moon
Playing impossible visions like an elementary tune
How I wish that I could realize my heart
But it's only wishful thinking on my part
Take Good Care Of My Baby lyrics - carole king
My tears are fallin' 'cause you've taken her away
And though it really hurts me so
There's something that I've gotta say
Take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Please don't ever make her blu-u-u-ue
Just tell her that you love her
Make sure you're thinking of her
In everything you say and do-o-o-o
Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Now don't you ever make her cry-y-y-y
Just let your love surround her
Paint a rainbow all around her
Don't let her see a cloudy sky
Once upon a time that little girl was mine
If I'd been true, I know she'd never be with you
So, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me
Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me
Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
[Fade]
Just, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
And though it really hurts me so
There's something that I've gotta say
Take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Please don't ever make her blu-u-u-ue
Just tell her that you love her
Make sure you're thinking of her
In everything you say and do-o-o-o
Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Now don't you ever make her cry-y-y-y
Just let your love surround her
Paint a rainbow all around her
Don't let her see a cloudy sky
Once upon a time that little girl was mine
If I'd been true, I know she'd never be with you
So, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me
Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me
Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
[Fade]
Just, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
It Might As Well Rain Until September lyrics - carole king
What shall I write?
What can I say?
How can I tell you how much I miss you?
The weather here has been as nice as it can be
Althought it doesn't really matter much to me
For all the fun I'll have while you're so far away
It might as well rain until September
I don't need sunny skies for thing I like to do
'Cause I stay home the whole day long and think of you
As far as I'm concerned each day's a rainy day
So It might as well rain until September
My friends look forward to their picnics on the beach
Yes everybody loves the summertime
But you know darling while your arms are out of reach
The summer isn't any friend of mine
It doesn't matter whethee skies are grey or blue
It's raining in my heart 'cause I can't be with you
I'm only living for the day you're home to stay
So It might as well rain until September
September, September, oh
It might as well rain until September
What can I say?
How can I tell you how much I miss you?
The weather here has been as nice as it can be
Althought it doesn't really matter much to me
For all the fun I'll have while you're so far away
It might as well rain until September
I don't need sunny skies for thing I like to do
'Cause I stay home the whole day long and think of you
As far as I'm concerned each day's a rainy day
So It might as well rain until September
My friends look forward to their picnics on the beach
Yes everybody loves the summertime
But you know darling while your arms are out of reach
The summer isn't any friend of mine
It doesn't matter whethee skies are grey or blue
It's raining in my heart 'cause I can't be with you
I'm only living for the day you're home to stay
So It might as well rain until September
September, September, oh
It might as well rain until September
Go Away Little Girl lyrics - carole king
Go away, little girl. Go away, little girl.
I'm not supposed to be alone with you.
I know that your lips are sweet,
But our lips must never meet.
I belong to someone else, and I must be true.
Oh, go away, little girl. Go away, little girl.
It's hurtin' me more each minute that you delay.
When you are near me like this,
You're much too hard to resist.
So, go away, little girl, before I beg you to stay."
Go away.
Please don't stay.
It'll never work out.
When you are near me like this,
You're much too hard to resist.
So, go away, little girl.
Call it a day, little girl.
Oh, please, go away, little girl,
Before I beg you to stay.
Go away.
I'm not supposed to be alone with you.
I know that your lips are sweet,
But our lips must never meet.
I belong to someone else, and I must be true.
Oh, go away, little girl. Go away, little girl.
It's hurtin' me more each minute that you delay.
When you are near me like this,
You're much too hard to resist.
So, go away, little girl, before I beg you to stay."
Go away.
Please don't stay.
It'll never work out.
When you are near me like this,
You're much too hard to resist.
So, go away, little girl.

I'm Into Something Good lyrics - carole king
Woke up this mornin' feelin' fine
There's somethin' special on my mind
Last night I met a new girl in the neighbourhood, whoa yeah
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')
She's the kind of girl who's not too shy
And I can tell I'm her kind of guy
She danced close to me like I hoped she would
(She danced with me like I hoped she would)
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')
We only danced for a minute or two
But then she stuck close to me the whole night through
Can I be fallin' in love
She's everything I've been dreamin' of
She's everything I've been dreamin' of
I walked her home and she held my hand
I knew it couldn't be just a one-night stand
So I asked to see her next week and she told me I could
(I asked to see her and she told me I could)
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')
To something good, oh yeah, something good
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')
To something good, something good, something good
There's somethin' special on my mind
Last night I met a new girl in the neighbourhood, whoa yeah
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')
She's the kind of girl who's not too shy
And I can tell I'm her kind of guy
She danced close to me like I hoped she would
(She danced with me like I hoped she would)
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')
We only danced for a minute or two
But then she stuck close to me the whole night through
Can I be fallin' in love
She's everything I've been dreamin' of
She's everything I've been dreamin' of
I walked her home and she held my hand
I knew it couldn't be just a one-night stand
So I asked to see her next week and she told me I could
(I asked to see her and she told me I could)
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')
To something good, oh yeah, something good
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')
To something good, something good, something good
Hey Girl lyrics - carole king
Hey, girl, I want you to know
I'm gonna miss you so much if you go
And, hey, girl, I tell you no lie
Something deep inside of me's going to die
If you say so long
If this is goodbye
Hey girl, this can't be true
How am I supposed to exist without you
And, hey, girl, now don't put me on
What's gonna happen to me when you're gone
How will I live
How can I go on
How can I go on
Hey, girl
Hey, girl, now sit yourself down
I'm not ashamed to get down on the ground
And then beg you to stay
Don't go away
Hey, girl
Don't go away
One Fine Day lyrics - Carole King
One fine day, you'll look at me
And you will know our love was, meant to be
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl
The arms I long for, will open wide
And you'll be proud to have me
Walkin' right by your side
One fine day
You're gonna want me for your girl
Though I know you're the kind of boy
Who only wants to run around
I'll keep waiting, and, someday darling
You'll come to me when you want to settle down
Oh
One fine day, we'll meet once more
And then you'll want the love you threw away before
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl
One fine day, oh
Oooh, one fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl
And you will know our love was, meant to be
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl
The arms I long for, will open wide
And you'll be proud to have me
Walkin' right by your side
One fine day
You're gonna want me for your girl
Though I know you're the kind of boy
Who only wants to run around
I'll keep waiting, and, someday darling
You'll come to me when you want to settle down
Oh
One fine day, we'll meet once more
And then you'll want the love you threw away before
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl
One fine day, oh
Oooh, one fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl
Will You Love Me Tomorrow lyrics - carole king
Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
Can I believe the magic of your sighs
Will you still love me tomorrow
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun
I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
Can I believe the magic of your sighs
Will you still love me tomorrow
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun
I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
Loving You Forever lyrics - carole King
I was just leaving - the night was winding down
You touched my shoulder and I turned around
Here we are - the hardest part is done
And all that's left is loving you forever
My heart stopped beating - I couldn't let it show
You were as unexpected as roses in the snow
Just like that I knew you were the one
Now all that's left is loving you forever
In this world we're lucky if we find
A spark that sparks one time
Like when we are together
And in that moment, it happened so fast
My prayers were answered - I found love at last
Take my hand - our life has begun
And all that's left is loving you forever
Here we are - the hardest part is done
And all that's left is loving you forever
You touched my shoulder and I turned around
Here we are - the hardest part is done
And all that's left is loving you forever
My heart stopped beating - I couldn't let it show
You were as unexpected as roses in the snow
Just like that I knew you were the one
Now all that's left is loving you forever
In this world we're lucky if we find
A spark that sparks one time
Like when we are together
And in that moment, it happened so fast
My prayers were answered - I found love at last
Take my hand - our life has begun
And all that's left is loving you forever
Here we are - the hardest part is done
And all that's left is loving you forever
It's Too Late lyrics - Carole King
Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing, or maybe we've stopped trying
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you
But it's too late, baby, it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing, or maybe we've stopped trying
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you
But it's too late, baby, it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
So Far Away lyrics - Carole King
So far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're just time away
Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
Oh, how I wish I could
But you're so far away
One more song about moving along the highway
Can't say much of anything that's new
If I could only work this life out my way
I'd rather spend it being close to you
But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're so far away
Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothing else to do but close my mind
I sure hope the road don't come to own me
There's so many dreams I've yet to find
But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're just time away
Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
Oh, how I wish I could
But you're so far away
One more song about moving along the highway
Can't say much of anything that's new
If I could only work this life out my way
I'd rather spend it being close to you
But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're so far away
Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothing else to do but close my mind
I sure hope the road don't come to own me
There's so many dreams I've yet to find
But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're so far away
Sweet Seasons lyrics - Carole King
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose
And sometimes the blues just get a hold of you
Just when you though you had made it
All around the block people will talk
But I want to give it all that I've got
I just don't want, I don't want to waste it
Talkin' 'bout sweet seasons on my mind
Sure does appeal to me
You know you we can get there easily
Just like a sailboat a-sailin' on the sea
[Instrumental Interlude]
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
And most times you choose between the two
Wonderin', wonderin' if you have made it
But I'll have some kids and make my plans
And I'll watch the seasons runnin' away
And I'll build me a life in the open
A life in the country
I'm Talkin' 'bout a sweet seasons on my mind
Sure does appeal to me
You know you we can get there easily
Just like a sailboat a-sailin' on the sea
Talkin' 'bout a sweet seasons
Talkin' 'bout a sweet, sweet, sweet seasons
Talkin' 'bout a sweeeeeet seasons
And sometimes the blues just get a hold of you
Just when you though you had made it
All around the block people will talk
But I want to give it all that I've got
I just don't want, I don't want to waste it
Talkin' 'bout sweet seasons on my mind
Sure does appeal to me
You know you we can get there easily
Just like a sailboat a-sailin' on the sea
[Instrumental Interlude]
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
And most times you choose between the two
Wonderin', wonderin' if you have made it
But I'll have some kids and make my plans
And I'll watch the seasons runnin' away
And I'll build me a life in the open
A life in the country
I'm Talkin' 'bout a sweet seasons on my mind
Sure does appeal to me
You know you we can get there easily
Just like a sailboat a-sailin' on the sea
Talkin' 'bout a sweet seasons
Talkin' 'bout a sweet, sweet, sweet seasons
Talkin' 'bout a sweeeeeet seasons
Chains lyrics - Carole King
Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see
Whoa, it's chains of love got a hold on me, yeah
Chains, well, I can't break away from these chains
Can't run around
'Cause I'm not free
Whoa, these chains of love won't let me be, yeah
Now believe me when I tell you
I think you're fine
I'd like to hold you
But I can't break away from all of these chains

Pleasant Valley Sunday lyrics - Carole King
The local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn their song
Serenade the weekend squire
Who just came out to mow his lawn
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Rows of houses that are all the same
And no one seems to care
See Mrs. Gray
She's proud today
Because her roses are in bloom
Mr. Green
He's so serene
He's got a TV in every room
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Mothers complain about how hard life is
And the kids just don't understand
Creature comfort goals
They only numb my soul and make it hard for me to see
My thoughts all seem to stray to places far away
I need a change of scenery
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Is trying hard to learn their song
Serenade the weekend squire
Who just came out to mow his lawn
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Rows of houses that are all the same
And no one seems to care
See Mrs. Gray
She's proud today
Because her roses are in bloom
Mr. Green
He's so serene
He's got a TV in every room
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Mothers complain about how hard life is
And the kids just don't understand
Creature comfort goals
They only numb my soul and make it hard for me to see
My thoughts all seem to stray to places far away
I need a change of scenery
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Being At War With Each Other lyrics - Carole King
Everyone comes from one father, one mother
So why do we complicate our lives so much
By being at war with each other
Maybe I'm crazy but I don't understand it
Why do we seem to vote to dig more holes
It's such a waste of planet
There must be a reason that I can't see
Maybe somebody else knows better than me
All I know is everyone else is a sister or a brother
So we've got to look around again and stop
Being at war with each other
Being at war with each other
We've got to look around again and stop
Being at war with each other
Being at war with each other
Being at war with each other
Being at war with each other
So why do we complicate our lives so much
By being at war with each other
Maybe I'm crazy but I don't understand it
Why do we seem to vote to dig more holes
It's such a waste of planet
There must be a reason that I can't see
Maybe somebody else knows better than me
All I know is everyone else is a sister or a brother
So we've got to look around again and stop
Being at war with each other
Being at war with each other
We've got to look around again and stop
Being at war with each other
Being at war with each other
Being at war with each other
Being at war with each other
I Feel The Earth Move lyrics - Carole King
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around
Ooh, baby, when I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh, darling, I can't stand it
When you look at me that way
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around
Oh, darling, when you're near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that my emotions
Are something I just can't tame
I've just got to have you, baby
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I just lose control
Down to my very soul
I get a hot and cold all over
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down,
Tumbling down, tumbling down...
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around
Ooh, baby, when I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh, darling, I can't stand it
When you look at me that way
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around
Oh, darling, when you're near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that my emotions
Are something I just can't tame
I've just got to have you, baby
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I just lose control
Down to my very soul
I get a hot and cold all over
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down,
Tumbling down, tumbling down...
(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman lyrics - Carole King
Lookin' out on the morning rain
I used to feel uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But your love was the key to my peace of mind
'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like
A natural woman
When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
'Cause if I make you happy I don't need to do more
You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like
A natural woman
Oh, baby, what you've done to me
You make me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You make me feel so alive
You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like
A natural woman
I used to feel uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But your love was the key to my peace of mind
'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like
A natural woman
When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
'Cause if I make you happy I don't need to do more
You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like
A natural woman
Oh, baby, what you've done to me
You make me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You make me feel so alive
You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like
A natural woman
You've Got A Friend lyrics - Carole King
When you're down in troubles
And you need some love and care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon i will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I'll be there
Yes I will
You've got a friend
If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
And you need some love and care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon i will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I'll be there
Yes I will
You've got a friend
If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
The Loco-Motion lyrics - Carole King
Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now
Come on, baby, do the locomotion
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
Come on, baby, do the locomotion
My little baby sister can do it with ease
It's easier than learning your ABC's
So come on, come on, do the locomotion with me
You gotta swing your hips now
Come on, baby, jump up, jump back
Oh, well, I think you've got the knack
Now that you can do it let's make a chain now
Come on, baby, do the locomotion
Chug-a chug-a motion like a railroad train now
Come on, baby, do the locomotion
Do it nice and easy now and don't lose control
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul
Come on, come on, do the locomotion with me
Move around the floor in a locomotion
Come on, baby, do the locomotion
Do it holdin' hands if you get the notion
Come on, baby, do the locomotion
There's never been a dance that's so easy to do
It even makes you happy when you're feeling blue
Come on, come on, do the locomotion with me
Come on, baby, do the locomotion
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
Come on, baby, do the locomotion
My little baby sister can do it with ease
It's easier than learning your ABC's
So come on, come on, do the locomotion with me
You gotta swing your hips now
Come on, baby, jump up, jump back
Oh, well, I think you've got the knack
Now that you can do it let's make a chain now
Come on, baby, do the locomotion
Chug-a chug-a motion like a railroad train now
Come on, baby, do the locomotion
Do it nice and easy now and don't lose control
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul
Come on, come on, do the locomotion with me
Move around the floor in a locomotion
Come on, baby, do the locomotion
Do it holdin' hands if you get the notion
Come on, baby, do the locomotion
There's never been a dance that's so easy to do
It even makes you happy when you're feeling blue
Come on, come on, do the locomotion with me
Love Makes The World lyrics - Carole King
There was trouble in my mind tonight
Somethin' inside didn't feel quite right
Then I saw your face in the moonlight
And I was right beside U
Don't need words that we useta use
It goes deeper than the words we choose
Can't lose - I wanna spread the news
U got love inside U
Some days it's hard to know what you're feelin'
I've been down that road before
I can't stop believing
Love makes the world go 'round
As long as you're a part of me
Nothin's gonna take me down, oh
Yeah
Last winter when the snowfall hit
Cold city - it was hard to commit
You were out there lookin' for the perfect fit
And I was right beside U
Nothin' real comes overnight
U weren't sure if it felt right
But sometimes a love can move your life
If U let it guide U
Baby, U got to take love where you can find it
Just walk right through that door
I can't stop believing
Love makes the world go 'round
As long as I'm a part of U
Nothin's gonna take U down, oh
Somethin' inside didn't feel quite right
Then I saw your face in the moonlight
And I was right beside U
Don't need words that we useta use
It goes deeper than the words we choose
Can't lose - I wanna spread the news
U got love inside U
Some days it's hard to know what you're feelin'
I've been down that road before
I can't stop believing
Love makes the world go 'round
As long as you're a part of me
Nothin's gonna take me down, oh
Yeah
Last winter when the snowfall hit
Cold city - it was hard to commit
You were out there lookin' for the perfect fit
And I was right beside U
Nothin' real comes overnight
U weren't sure if it felt right
But sometimes a love can move your life
If U let it guide U
Baby, U got to take love where you can find it
Just walk right through that door
I can't stop believing
Love makes the world go 'round
As long as I'm a part of U
Nothin's gonna take U down, oh
You Can Do Anything lyrics - Carole King
The sun is shining but not on me
Another lonely day
What's the use in making plans
Nothing's gonna go my way
But there's a voice down deep inside me
Telling me what to say
Don't you know that you can do anything
You can take anything and make it your own
Don't you know that you can do anything
And you don't have to do it alone
Searching for the girl I was when I was sure and strong
When everything was easier
And I could do no wrong
If I could only believe in myself
I know I could find a way
Don't you know that you can do anything
You can take anything and make it your own
Don't you know that you can do anything
And you don't have to do it alone
Sorry tears in my eyes
Got me down in confusion and doubt
Suddenly I realize
I'm no different than anyone working it out
We're all working it out
Don't you know that you can do anything
You can take anything and make it your own
Don't you know that you can do anything
And you don't have to do it alone
Another lonely day
What's the use in making plans
Nothing's gonna go my way
But there's a voice down deep inside me
Telling me what to say
Don't you know that you can do anything
You can take anything and make it your own
Don't you know that you can do anything
And you don't have to do it alone
Searching for the girl I was when I was sure and strong
When everything was easier
And I could do no wrong
If I could only believe in myself
I know I could find a way
Don't you know that you can do anything
You can take anything and make it your own
Don't you know that you can do anything
And you don't have to do it alone
Sorry tears in my eyes
Got me down in confusion and doubt
Suddenly I realize
I'm no different than anyone working it out
We're all working it out
Don't you know that you can do anything
You can take anything and make it your own
Don't you know that you can do anything
And you don't have to do it alone
The Reason lyrics - Carole King
I figured it out
I was high and low and everything in between
I was wicked and wild, baby, you know what I mean
Till there was you, yeah, you
Something went wrong
I made a deal with the devil for an empty I.O.U.
Been to hell and back, but an angel was looking through
It was you, yeah, you
It's all because of you
You are the reason
You are the reason I wake up every day
And sleep through the night
You are the reason, the reason
In the middle of the night
I'm going down 'cause I adore you
I want to floor you
I'm giving it up
No more running around spinning my wheel
You came out of my dream and made it real
I know what I feel
It's you
It's all because of you
You are the reason
You are the reason I wake up every day
And sleep through the night
You are the reason, the reason
In the middle of the night
I'm going down because I want you
I want to touch you
I want to floor you
You are the reason, baby
You are the reason
You are the reason I wake up every day
And sleep through the night
You are the reason, the reason
I was high and low and everything in between
I was wicked and wild, baby, you know what I mean
Till there was you, yeah, you
Something went wrong
I made a deal with the devil for an empty I.O.U.
Been to hell and back, but an angel was looking through
It was you, yeah, you
It's all because of you
You are the reason
You are the reason I wake up every day
And sleep through the night
You are the reason, the reason
In the middle of the night
I'm going down 'cause I adore you
I want to floor you
I'm giving it up
No more running around spinning my wheel
You came out of my dream and made it real
I know what I feel
It's you
It's all because of you
You are the reason
You are the reason I wake up every day
And sleep through the night
You are the reason, the reason
In the middle of the night
I'm going down because I want you
I want to touch you
I want to floor you
You are the reason, baby
You are the reason
You are the reason I wake up every day
And sleep through the night
You are the reason, the reason
I Wasn't Gonna Fall In Love lyrics - Carole King
When I met you, I let you know
I didn't want to go the way I'd gone before
That door was closed - I was just looking for fun
And you were the right one, you got it
So we could just play around
We wouldn't get serious or mysterious
When it's done it would just be done
I wasn't gonna fall in love, no, I wasn't gonna fall
I wasn't gonna fall in love, till I fell in love with you
Well, you got down, saw through me
You read me like a book
You took me over and over again
And you turned my head around
I found I didn't know what I thought I knew
I was caught up in you so fast
Emotional, love potion-al
I want to make every moment last
I wasn't gonna fall in love, no, I wasn't gonna fall
I wasn't gonna fall in love, till I fell in love with you
Never know what's gonna, never know what's gonna come along
To change your mind, change your way
Play the game you said you'd never play
Never thought that we, never thought you and I would be together
Well I thought I could, but I guess you can't
You can't, you can't ever
Never say never
I wasn't gonna fall in love, no, I wasn't gonna fall
I wasn't gonna fall in love, till I fell in love with you
I didn't want to go the way I'd gone before
That door was closed - I was just looking for fun
And you were the right one, you got it
So we could just play around
We wouldn't get serious or mysterious
When it's done it would just be done
I wasn't gonna fall in love, no, I wasn't gonna fall
I wasn't gonna fall in love, till I fell in love with you
Well, you got down, saw through me
You read me like a book
You took me over and over again
And you turned my head around
I found I didn't know what I thought I knew
I was caught up in you so fast
Emotional, love potion-al
I want to make every moment last
I wasn't gonna fall in love, no, I wasn't gonna fall
I wasn't gonna fall in love, till I fell in love with you
Never know what's gonna, never know what's gonna come along
To change your mind, change your way
Play the game you said you'd never play
Never thought that we, never thought you and I would be together
Well I thought I could, but I guess you can't
You can't, you can't ever
Never say never
I wasn't gonna fall in love, no, I wasn't gonna fall
I wasn't gonna fall in love, till I fell in love with you
I Don't Know lyrics - Carole King
I don't know if it's hot in Texas
And I don't know if it's cold in Hell
I don't know if God is watching
I just know that I love you
People say, bad man's gonna getcha
Trade my shoes for a simple soul
Throw away your burnt sienna
'Cause I just know that I love you
Sticks and stones get gone in a hurry
Jack say, Jill, you never looked so fine
Dancing on Boardwalk, what me worry
As long as I know you're mine, all mine all mine, all mine
You're mine
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
And if everybody had someone to care about
What a world, what a world
What a wonderful, wonderful world this would be
I don't care who's in the World Series
Or who does what in their own bedroom
News is blues and it doesn't really matter
I just know that, just know that I love you
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I just know that I love you
And I don't know if it's cold in Hell
I don't know if God is watching
I just know that I love you
People say, bad man's gonna getcha
Trade my shoes for a simple soul
Throw away your burnt sienna
'Cause I just know that I love you
Sticks and stones get gone in a hurry
Jack say, Jill, you never looked so fine
Dancing on Boardwalk, what me worry
As long as I know you're mine, all mine all mine, all mine
You're mine
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
And if everybody had someone to care about
What a world, what a world
What a wonderful, wonderful world this would be
I don't care who's in the World Series
Or who does what in their own bedroom
News is blues and it doesn't really matter
I just know that, just know that I love you
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I just know that I love you
Oh No, Not My Baby lyrics - Carole King
When my friends told me you had someone new
I didn't believe a single word was true
I showed them all I had a faith in you
I just kept on saying
Oh, no, not my baby
Oh, no, not my sweet baby
You're not like those other guys
Who lead you on and tell you lies
My mama told me when rumors spread
There's truth somewhere and I should use my head
But I didn't listen to what she said
I kept right on saying
Oh, no, not my baby
Oh, no, not my sweet baby
You're not like those other boys
Who play with hearts like they were toys
Well, you might have had a last minute fling
But I am sure it didn't mean a thing
'Cause yesterday you gave me your ring
And I'm so glad that I kept on saying
Oh, no, not my baby
Oh, no, not my sweet baby
You're not like those other guys
Who lead you on and tell you lies
Oh, no, not my baby
Oh, no, not my sweet baby
Oh, no, not my baby
Oh, no, not my sweet baby
I didn't believe a single word was true
I showed them all I had a faith in you
I just kept on saying
Oh, no, not my baby
Oh, no, not my sweet baby
You're not like those other guys
Who lead you on and tell you lies
My mama told me when rumors spread
There's truth somewhere and I should use my head
But I didn't listen to what she said
I kept right on saying
Oh, no, not my baby
Oh, no, not my sweet baby
You're not like those other boys
Who play with hearts like they were toys
Well, you might have had a last minute fling
But I am sure it didn't mean a thing
'Cause yesterday you gave me your ring
And I'm so glad that I kept on saying
Oh, no, not my baby
Oh, no, not my sweet baby
You're not like those other guys
Who lead you on and tell you lies
Oh, no, not my baby
Oh, no, not my sweet baby
Oh, no, not my baby
Oh, no, not my sweet baby
It Could Have Been Anyone lyrics - Carole king
Do you know that you know me like nobody else
All of my secrets and lies
Do you know that you made me believe in myself
Made me believe I could fly
All the things that you say
That I wait for each day
You're almost too good to be true
It could have been anyone, oh, anyone
A stranger out of the blue
It could have been anyone, oh, anyone
That I gave my heart up to
But it was you
Well you just never know when the moment will come
When love is about to begin
Something about someone reaching out
And letting someone in
And I'm glad I was there
When out of thin air
We both had nothing to do
It could have been anyone, oh, anyone
A stranger out of the blue
It could have been anyone, oh, anyone
That I gave my heart up to
One day we'll find out
Why you were sent to me
Now we're together
It must be the way it was meant to be
It could have been anyone, oh, anyone
A stranger out of the blue
It could have been anyone, oh, anyone
That I gave my heart up to
But it was you
All of my secrets and lies
Do you know that you made me believe in myself
Made me believe I could fly
All the things that you say
That I wait for each day
You're almost too good to be true
It could have been anyone, oh, anyone
A stranger out of the blue
It could have been anyone, oh, anyone
That I gave my heart up to
But it was you
Well you just never know when the moment will come
When love is about to begin
Something about someone reaching out
And letting someone in
And I'm glad I was there
When out of thin air
We both had nothing to do
It could have been anyone, oh, anyone
A stranger out of the blue
It could have been anyone, oh, anyone
That I gave my heart up to
One day we'll find out
Why you were sent to me
Now we're together
It must be the way it was meant to be
It could have been anyone, oh, anyone
A stranger out of the blue
It could have been anyone, oh, anyone
That I gave my heart up to
But it was you
Monday Without You lyrics - Carole King
Yesterday was a perfect day
Living in make-believe, perfect together
In your eyes I was number one
And you were all the world to me forever, ever and ever
But you have another life
You're going to somewhere I don't belong
I can't think about Monday
I can't think about watching you walk away
I only want to be with you
I just want to be with you
I can't think about anything else but Sunday and the touch of you
I only want to be with you
I can't think about Monday without you
In an empty room
Waiting for a reason why
Trying, crying, dying
I know that it's over
But I don't want to hear you say goodbye
I can't think about Monday
I can't think about watching you walk away
I only want to be with you
I just want to be with you
I can't think about anything else but Sunday and the touch of you
I only want to be with you
I can't think about Monday without you
Living in make-believe, perfect together
In your eyes I was number one
And you were all the world to me forever, ever and ever
But you have another life
You're going to somewhere I don't belong
I can't think about Monday
I can't think about watching you walk away
I only want to be with you
I just want to be with you
I can't think about anything else but Sunday and the touch of you
I only want to be with you
I can't think about Monday without you
In an empty room
Waiting for a reason why
Trying, crying, dying
I know that it's over
But I don't want to hear you say goodbye
I can't think about Monday
I can't think about watching you walk away
I only want to be with you
I just want to be with you
I can't think about anything else but Sunday and the touch of you
I only want to be with you
I can't think about Monday without you
An Uncommon Love lyrics - Carole King
Why do we isolate each other
All the walls we build between us
Make it so hard to be together
How can we tear at one another
When the thing we have in common
Is an uncommon love
Walls can fall, tears can mend
So why can't we reach across the line
And touch each other
Here on two sides of the truth
We've a middle ground in common
We have an uncommon love
Time can heal, hearts can mend
So why can't we reach across the line
And touch each other
When will we ever learn
That the thing we have in common
Is an uncommon love
We have an uncommon love
An uncommon love
All the walls we build between us
Make it so hard to be together
How can we tear at one another
When the thing we have in common
Is an uncommon love
Walls can fall, tears can mend
So why can't we reach across the line
And touch each other
Here on two sides of the truth
We've a middle ground in common
We have an uncommon love
Time can heal, hearts can mend
So why can't we reach across the line
And touch each other
When will we ever learn
That the thing we have in common
Is an uncommon love
We have an uncommon love
An uncommon love
You Will Find Me There lyrics - Carole King
You don't have to wear the weight of the world on your shoulders
Don't you know I'll be there for you, always, always
You can tell me anything, and you know I'll understand
When you're down and out, and your soul is bare
You just turn around, you will find me there
You keep on giving everyone so much more than your share
So many things you do in so many ways, always
But you need someone you can hold on to
When you're down and out, I will always care
You just turn around, you will find me there
When it's all gone wrong, it's falling down on you
Lean on me, I'll be strong
I will keep you safe, keep you warm
When you're down and out, I will always care
You just turn around, you will find me there
I will take your hand, I will dry your tears
I will comfort you when your hope has disappeared
When you're down and out, I will always care
You just turn around, you will find me there, you will find me right there
When you're down and out and you're in despair
You just turn around, you will find me there
When you're down and out, I will be right there
You just turn around, you will find me, you will find me right there
Don't you know I'll be there for you, always, always
You can tell me anything, and you know I'll understand
When you're down and out, and your soul is bare
You just turn around, you will find me there
You keep on giving everyone so much more than your share
So many things you do in so many ways, always
But you need someone you can hold on to
When you're down and out, I will always care
You just turn around, you will find me there
When it's all gone wrong, it's falling down on you
Lean on me, I'll be strong
I will keep you safe, keep you warm
When you're down and out, I will always care
You just turn around, you will find me there
I will take your hand, I will dry your tears
I will comfort you when your hope has disappeared
When you're down and out, I will always care
You just turn around, you will find me there, you will find me right there
When you're down and out and you're in despair
You just turn around, you will find me there
When you're down and out, I will be right there
You just turn around, you will find me, you will find me right there
Safe Again lyrics - Carole King
Seems so hard
All I want to do is let down my guard
Laugh like a child and play out in the yard
I want to feel safe again
I don't know
What happened to you, where did you go
Wish I could not feel the cold wind blow
I want to feel safe again
If only I could believe everything will soon be
Like all the fairy tales I've read
But I feel so lost and naked
And I wake up with the shape of a dream
In my head
Seems so hard
All I want to do is let down my guard
Get through just one more day unscarred
I want to feel safe again
I want to feel safe again
I want to feel safe again
With you
All I want to do is let down my guard
Laugh like a child and play out in the yard
I want to feel safe again
I don't know
What happened to you, where did you go
Wish I could not feel the cold wind blow
I want to feel safe again
If only I could believe everything will soon be
Like all the fairy tales I've read
But I feel so lost and naked
And I wake up with the shape of a dream
In my head
Seems so hard
All I want to do is let down my guard
Get through just one more day unscarred
I want to feel safe again
I want to feel safe again
I want to feel safe again
With you
This Time lyrics - Carole King
I go through the motions of being with people
When deep in my soul, I want to be where you are
I know we speak every night
But words only go so far, I know
It feels like an ocean of time we're apart
I know that I've said it before
But this time when I come home
I will stay with you
This time's the last time that I'm gonna go
Just close your eyes, and imagine me home again
It isn't so far away
Soon I'll be back, and you'll never be alone again
This time I mean to stay
I promise you this time I'll do whatever it takes
To stay right by your side
I would do anything, I would give you everything
'Cause you are everything to me
But until then
Gotta keep our emotions under control
It won't be easy to do
'Cause all I want to do is kiss you, touch you,
Hold you, love you, promise, I promise
I promise you, I'll stay with you, but till then
Just close your eyes, and imagine me home again
I mean every word I say
Soon I'll be back, and you'll never be alone again
This time I mean to stay
Just close your eyes, and imagine me home again
Soon I will be on my way (never gonna go)
This time I mean it, you'll never be alone again
This time I mean to stay
When deep in my soul, I want to be where you are
I know we speak every night
But words only go so far, I know
It feels like an ocean of time we're apart
I know that I've said it before
But this time when I come home
I will stay with you
This time's the last time that I'm gonna go
Just close your eyes, and imagine me home again
It isn't so far away
Soon I'll be back, and you'll never be alone again
This time I mean to stay
I promise you this time I'll do whatever it takes
To stay right by your side
I would do anything, I would give you everything
'Cause you are everything to me
But until then
Gotta keep our emotions under control
It won't be easy to do
'Cause all I want to do is kiss you, touch you,
Hold you, love you, promise, I promise
I promise you, I'll stay with you, but till then
Just close your eyes, and imagine me home again
I mean every word I say
Soon I'll be back, and you'll never be alone again
This time I mean to stay
Just close your eyes, and imagine me home again
Soon I will be on my way (never gonna go)
This time I mean it, you'll never be alone again
This time I mean to stay

Lay Down My Life lyrics - Carole King
As I walk away
My world comes tumbling down
That's allright
You'll go home again without me
Where will I go tomorrow
It doesn't matter, if you want me to stay
Should I turn around, come back to you
Or should I keep on walking away
It feels so good with you
It feels so right with you
But I will bring you sorrow
If I stay with you
Now if I hurt you, forgive me
Try not to lose faith in me
You know I would never hurt you intentionally
What will I do tomorrow
Without your love I would surely lose my way
And rush headlong into nowhere
On a ghost highway
It feels so good with you
It feels so right with you
But I will bring you sorrow
If I stay with you
I would lay down my life for you
I kept going on, when going on
Made no real sense at all
But it's no good now, it's all clear to me
Now that my back is against the wall
How will you get through tomorrow
It doesn't matter, I know you will
And we'll be together forever
Bound by the way we made each other feel
And I will lay down my life for you
I will lay down my life for you
'Cause it feels so good with you
Yes, it feels so right with you
I will lay down my life for you
My world comes tumbling down
That's allright
You'll go home again without me
Where will I go tomorrow
It doesn't matter, if you want me to stay
Should I turn around, come back to you
Or should I keep on walking away
It feels so good with you
It feels so right with you
But I will bring you sorrow
If I stay with you
Now if I hurt you, forgive me
Try not to lose faith in me
You know I would never hurt you intentionally
What will I do tomorrow
Without your love I would surely lose my way
And rush headlong into nowhere
On a ghost highway
It feels so good with you
It feels so right with you
But I will bring you sorrow
If I stay with you
I would lay down my life for you
I kept going on, when going on
Made no real sense at all
But it's no good now, it's all clear to me
Now that my back is against the wall
How will you get through tomorrow
It doesn't matter, I know you will
And we'll be together forever
Bound by the way we made each other feel
And I will lay down my life for you
I will lay down my life for you
'Cause it feels so good with you
Yes, it feels so right with you
I will lay down my life for you
Hold Out For Love lyrics - Carole King
Everybody's got a little child inside
Still looking for love
Everything we do is in search of it
Everything we say or think of
And every time we reach for somebody
We're reaching out for love
Everybody's looking for love
Everybody is looking for love
When someone says a kind word
It's music to your ears
Yet somewhere inside you're wondering
If you really deserve to let go of your fears
You want to make a connection, you're looking for a way
To escape the loneliness and the tears
That you've had for years
Everybody's looking for love
Everybody is looking for love
But you know you gotta
Hold out, don't settle for less
Hold out for the real thing, hold out for the real thing
Hold out, you deserve the best
Hold out for the real thing, hold out for the real thing
Hold out for love
Maybe you're looking for security
But without a doubt
You're gonna miss the love you wish you had
'Cause love is what life is all about
Well, if it don't feel right, then don't do it
If the night is dark, don't sell your soul to get through it
Listen to your heart, it'll tell you how to do it
Love will be worth the wait
Everybody's looking for love
Everybody is looking for love
But you know you gotta
Hold out, don't settle for less
Hold out for the real thing, hold out for the real thing
Hold out, you deserve the best
Hold out for the real thing, hold out for the real thing
Hold out for love
Still looking for love
Everything we do is in search of it
Everything we say or think of
And every time we reach for somebody
We're reaching out for love
Everybody's looking for love
Everybody is looking for love
When someone says a kind word
It's music to your ears
Yet somewhere inside you're wondering
If you really deserve to let go of your fears
You want to make a connection, you're looking for a way
To escape the loneliness and the tears
That you've had for years
Everybody's looking for love
Everybody is looking for love
But you know you gotta
Hold out, don't settle for less
Hold out for the real thing, hold out for the real thing
Hold out, you deserve the best
Hold out for the real thing, hold out for the real thing
Hold out for love
Maybe you're looking for security
But without a doubt
You're gonna miss the love you wish you had
'Cause love is what life is all about
Well, if it don't feel right, then don't do it
If the night is dark, don't sell your soul to get through it
Listen to your heart, it'll tell you how to do it
Love will be worth the wait
Everybody's looking for love
Everybody is looking for love
But you know you gotta
Hold out, don't settle for less
Hold out for the real thing, hold out for the real thing
Hold out, you deserve the best
Hold out for the real thing, hold out for the real thing
Hold out for love
Standing In The Rain lyrics - Carole King
We met along the back streets where we would not be seen
Our bodies full of passion, with love our only dream
The neon flashed in our hotel room, but I never complained
Until the night you left me standing in the rain
I wondered what had happened, afraid to call your home
So I spent the night in the local bar, but I had to drink alone
I must have gotten in a fight, 'cause I woke up bleeding with pain
I had the midnight sun with you
Now I'm standing in the rain
Standing in the rain
Another woman answered when I called you in the morning
The sound of her voice came without a warning
The sun was coming up, but inside my soul was storming
I guess there are some promises you just can't keep
I'm still wandering down those back streets
But with a different point of view
'Cause I lost everything I had when I bet it all on you
I try not to think about it, or else I'll go insane
Sometimes I cry, wondering why you left me standing in the rain
Standing in the rain
Why did you leave me standing
Standing in the rain
Our bodies full of passion, with love our only dream
The neon flashed in our hotel room, but I never complained
Until the night you left me standing in the rain
I wondered what had happened, afraid to call your home
So I spent the night in the local bar, but I had to drink alone
I must have gotten in a fight, 'cause I woke up bleeding with pain
I had the midnight sun with you
Now I'm standing in the rain
Standing in the rain
Another woman answered when I called you in the morning
The sound of her voice came without a warning
The sun was coming up, but inside my soul was storming
I guess there are some promises you just can't keep
I'm still wandering down those back streets
But with a different point of view
'Cause I lost everything I had when I bet it all on you
I try not to think about it, or else I'll go insane
Sometimes I cry, wondering why you left me standing in the rain
Standing in the rain
Why did you leave me standing
Standing in the rain
Now And Forever lyrics - Carole King
Now and forever, you are a part of me
And the memory cuts like a knife
Didn't we find the ecstasy, didn't we share the daylight
When you walked into my life
Now and forever, I'll remember
All the promises still unbroken
And think about all the words between us
That never needed to be spoken
We had a moment, just one moment
That will last beyond a dream, beyond a lifetime
We are the lucky ones
Some people never get to do all we got to do
Now and forever, I will always think of you
Didn't we come together, didn't we live together
Didn't we cry together
Didn't we play together, didn't we love together
And together we lit up the world
I miss the tears, I miss the laughter
I miss the day we met and all that followed after
Sometimes I wish I could always be with you
The way we used to do
Now and forever, I will always think of you
Now and forever, I will always be with you
And the memory cuts like a knife
Didn't we find the ecstasy, didn't we share the daylight
When you walked into my life
Now and forever, I'll remember
All the promises still unbroken
And think about all the words between us
That never needed to be spoken
We had a moment, just one moment
That will last beyond a dream, beyond a lifetime
We are the lucky ones
Some people never get to do all we got to do
Now and forever, I will always think of you
Didn't we come together, didn't we live together
Didn't we cry together
Didn't we play together, didn't we love together
And together we lit up the world
I miss the tears, I miss the laughter
I miss the day we met and all that followed after
Sometimes I wish I could always be with you
The way we used to do
Now and forever, I will always think of you
Now and forever, I will always be with you
Wishful Thinking lyrics - Carole King
I see you, but you don't see me
Like a ghost of the future, hovering dark and dreamy
You fade in and out of the mist
Do you even exist, except in my wishful thinking
I reach for you, but I can't touch you
I feel you just beyond a star
Do you know how much you are all I ever wanted
Is it too much too soon
Am I foolishly dreaming
Just baying at the moon
Playing impossible visions like an elementary tune
How I wish that I could realize my heart
But it's only wishful thinking on my part
Like a ghost of the future, hovering dark and dreamy
You fade in and out of the mist
Do you even exist, except in my wishful thinking
I reach for you, but I can't touch you
I feel you just beyond a star
Do you know how much you are all I ever wanted
Is it too much too soon
Am I foolishly dreaming
Just baying at the moon
Playing impossible visions like an elementary tune
How I wish that I could realize my heart
But it's only wishful thinking on my part
Colour Of Your Dreams lyrics - Carole King
Live in the colour of your dreams
Know everything you see is not quite what it seems
Take everything you have to give
If you believe it, you can make it what you want to
All you gotta do is say you will
Go for the vision in your mind
Throw all your doubt away, just leave it all behind
You are the owner of the game
Nothing will ever be the same once you have played it
You know you're gonna win if you just say you will
Oh, everything you'll ever need you already know
Oh, the only place to go
Is where angels ride the sunset and heaven lies below
So dream of the day when you will fly
And let the wings of your destiny carry you through the sky
Take everything you have to give
If you believe it, you can make it what you want to
And be living in the colour of your dreams
Know everything you see is not quite what it seems
Take everything you have to give
If you believe it, you can make it what you want to
All you gotta do is say you will
Go for the vision in your mind
Throw all your doubt away, just leave it all behind
You are the owner of the game
Nothing will ever be the same once you have played it
You know you're gonna win if you just say you will
Oh, everything you'll ever need you already know
Oh, the only place to go
Is where angels ride the sunset and heaven lies below
So dream of the day when you will fly
And let the wings of your destiny carry you through the sky
Take everything you have to give
If you believe it, you can make it what you want to
And be living in the colour of your dreams
Tears Falling Down On Me lyrics - Carole King
Vera comes home on Sunday morning after hanging with the boys all night
Laughing and drinking with them, thinking she's one of them
And that makes everything allright
She vaguely remembers going out in the parking lot
With the stone mason's son
Who had his way with her, then walked away when he was done
Sometimes she thinks about leaving - she tells herself, someday
You know, her daddy said she'd never amount to much
Of anything anyway
Oh, tears falling down on me
Oh, tears falling down on me
No, that ain't the way it's supposed to be
Oh, tears falling down on me
Oh, tears falling down on me
I've cried so many tears over man's unkindness to man
People say that's the way it is, but we gotta do what we can
Why does it have to be that way, I just don't understand
Rain falling from my eyes, rain falling from the sky
And I don't know why
A pack of jokers get their jollies beating up on a black king
There's outrage in the city for a while
But do you think it'll really change anything
Get rid of the gates, free the people
And let the games commence
We gotta take our power back
And use it in ways that make sense
Oh, tears falling down on me
Oh, tears falling down on me
If I could, I would change the course of history
Oh, tears falling down on me
Oh, tears falling down on me
Oh, tears falling down on me
Oh, rain washing over me
Oh, tears falling down on me
Oh, pain washing over me
Rain, wash it away, rain, wash it away
Wash the pain away, rain, wash it away
Oh, tears falling down on me
Oh, tears falling down on me
Laughing and drinking with them, thinking she's one of them
And that makes everything allright
She vaguely remembers going out in the parking lot
With the stone mason's son
Who had his way with her, then walked away when he was done
Sometimes she thinks about leaving - she tells herself, someday
You know, her daddy said she'd never amount to much
Of anything anyway
Oh, tears falling down on me
Oh, tears falling down on me
No, that ain't the way it's supposed to be
Oh, tears falling down on me
Oh, tears falling down on me
I've cried so many tears over man's unkindness to man
People say that's the way it is, but we gotta do what we can
Why does it have to be that way, I just don't understand
Rain falling from my eyes, rain falling from the sky
And I don't know why
A pack of jokers get their jollies beating up on a black king
There's outrage in the city for a while
But do you think it'll really change anything
Get rid of the gates, free the people
And let the games commence
We gotta take our power back
And use it in ways that make sense
Oh, tears falling down on me
Oh, tears falling down on me
If I could, I would change the course of history
Oh, tears falling down on me
Oh, tears falling down on me
Oh, tears falling down on me
Oh, rain washing over me
Oh, tears falling down on me
Oh, pain washing over me
Rain, wash it away, rain, wash it away
Wash the pain away, rain, wash it away
Oh, tears falling down on me
Oh, tears falling down on me
