A NEW WORLD IN THE MORNING
Its early in the morning
And you are by my side
Whats gone on between us
We surely now can't hide
And the fears and the worries
Don't mean much anymore
A new world came this morning
And of this I'm sure
chorus and key change
A new world in the morning
A new world here today
A new hope in the sunlight
A new world starts today
Was it only yesterday
You brought yourself to me
My whole world was changing
But at first I couldn't see
And a new sun has risen
To light a brand new day
A new life that is better
A new life starts today
chorus etc
The sunlight thru the window
Lights your sleeping head
Lights your hair on the pillow
The lovelight in our bed
Stay with me forever
Let forever start today
There's no time that's called never
Our new lives start today
chorus etc
STAY WITH ME THIS MORNING
Waking on a Sunday morning
I feel you lying there
Our clothes are all around us
Daylight lights your hair
Yesterday we were diff'rent
What happened in the night
Yesterday we were friends
Now lovers in the morning light.
chorus and key change
Stay with me this morning
Walk thru Central Park
Let me show you New York
Stay with me till dark
It just changed in a moment
I'm just not who I was
I don't know what we've found
But I know what we've got
I've lost that lonely feeling
That has lived inside of me
And you, you gave yourself
And I learned I was free
chorus etc
Let's walk down quiet streets
This sunlit Sunday morn
let's do some stupid things
There's no need to go home
And I'll show you a sunset
Over Jersey's huddled shore
Will you stay with me forever
Will you stay with me till dawn
chorus etc
THE FROST IS ON THE WINDOW
The frost coats the windows
This cold December night
But it's something I just see
'cos you're here its alright
I haven't known you too long
We were lovers from the start
All I asked was love me too
And I'd give you my heart.
chorus and key change
But the frost on the windows
Is like ice in my heart
Without you in my life
It's hard to make a start
New York's such a cold place
And now I'm all alone
No one to make me smile
No one to keep me warm
I never knew what I did
To make you go away
And tomorrow I don't know
How I'll face the day
chorus etc
I'll go down to the river
In the dark I'll watch it flow
Carrying all my dreams
Away for evermore
I'll go down to the Hudson
And watch the dying day
And all I want is loving
But now you've gone away
Now you've gone away
COLD HUDSON RIVER
Cold Hudson River rolls out to the sea
Carries my dreams away from me
Lights on the water shadow the shore
Like its rolling, my life out the door
chorus and key changes
New York's a cold town
This Feb'rary night
And all that I know
Just fading like cold sunlight
Cold Hudson River
Cold Hudson River
Cold Hudson River
Cold Hudson River
I met her in Brooklyn by Prospect Park
First girl I know'd who touched my heart
Don't know how I did it but somehow I did
We took up together and had a kid.
chorus etc
Now that she's gone I'm all alone
I'm standing on this bridge and she ain't home
I watch as the water flows under my feet
The cold cold water is all that I'll keep
chorus etc
WALK ON WATER
I don't care
What they say
I don't care
What they know
'Cos you're with me
I don't care
But only if
You don't go
chorus and key change
When I'm with you
I walk on water
When I'm with you
I walk on air
When I'm with you
The Devils daughter
Comes to me
But I don't care
When I'm with you
I climb the mountains
When I'm with you
I swim the sea
When I'm with you
I'm not frightened
I'm not the man
That I used to be
chorus etc
I don't care
What they say
I don't care
What they want
I don't care
'Cos you love me
I won't care
My love is strong
chorus etc
When I'm with you
In the nightime
When I'm with you
I just belong
When I'm with you
Things are better
When I'm with you
I feel so strong
chorus etc
STAY WITH ME
When times are hard
And things go wrong
And we cry tears that others see
I won't give up
I will stay strong
Just as long as you stay with me
chorus and key change
Stay with me
Oh stay with me
Please won't you just
Stay with me
When fears stalk me
And sleep won't come
And hope just crumbles all away
I will keep on
I will be strong
If you'll stay with me another day
chorus etc
And after the night
Will come the day
And my fears will met like snow
With the sunshine
I know that I
Will be strong if you don't go
chorus
SERENDIPITY [ written with Polly Porter ]
There's something in the air tonight
Can't see it but it sure feels right
It's floating down like falling snow
Dropping blessings on the folks below
And you and I in diff'rent parts
Of the city that has no heart
Will feel it fall and touch our soul
And feel the dreams that stir us all
chorus and key change
I dreamt a dream
A dream of you
I never knew
A dream come true
And you and I dreamt our dreams
In diff'rent parts and diff'rent scenes
And still I never did meet you
We didn't know, what to do
But tonight I see the stars align
And brought our paths to cross in time
In Prospect Park beneath snowflakes
It came at last to we that wait
chorus etc
