In My Dreams lyrics - Carly Simon

The only place I hang my hat is in my dreams
The only time I feel at home is in my dreams
The only place I'm not alone is in my dreams
The only place I recognize is in my dreams

That's the only place I know
To wander to and fro
I move about and go
As slow as time will let me go

Sometime I'll only dream and I'm not scared of that
I'll move through farther galaxies, wear other hats

Trip on a wink, an inkling of a shadow fill
An eclipse in less than half a blink
Where you love me still

That's the only place I know
To wander to and fro
I move about and go
As slow as time will let me go

That's the only place I know
To wander to and fro
I move about and go
As slow as time will let me go
As slow as time will let me go
Let me go... let me go

When We're Together lyrics - Carly Simon

"Hi," he says
"Higher than the stars," he says
And "I know I've seen you before," he says
She looks up deep into his eyes and stares
"Where were you into my life till now?"

I know that when we're together our hearts fall into line
And I know why I'm afraid, this is my first time
And the stars will be quiet while I sing you this song
And I know I've been here before, and all day long

"Why," he says, "run away from faded prayers?"
"Are you so scared that we might not get along?"
Shy, she is, weary to speak of love
And too tired to sleep, too tired to dream

I know that when we're together our hearts will fall in line
And I know why you're afraid, this is your first time
And our hearts will be quiet while I sing you this song
And I know I've been here before, and all day long

Winter comes, brings with it its shortened days
Leaves us less time in between deep nights
And she stays because there's no time to wait
And the morning stillness still leaves no time for the light

I know that when we're together our hearts will fall in line
I know why we're afraid, this is our first time
Our hearts will be quiet while I sing you this song
And I know I've been here before, and all along
I know I've been here before, and all along
All day long, and all along. all along...

So Many People To Love lyrics - Carly Simon

They're praying on bended knees
In their beds and on the dirty streets
Lights are out on all the Christmas trees
Feels like everyone's about to freeze
Makes me worry
Everywhere I look someone's counting on me

So many people to love
And so little time
Gotta hurry
Big girls and little boys
Broken hearts and dreams destroyed now
They need me to make it better
What's an angel gonna do when she needs some lovin' too?
I'm just askin'

They're using their money up
On shiny things no one will ever use
And the ones without can't buy a pair of shoes
Nothing gentle in the Daily News
Makes me worry
Everywhere I look someone's counting on me

So many people to love
And so little time
Gotta hurry
Big girls and little boys
Broken hearts and dreams destroyed now
They need me to make it better
What's an angel gonna do when she needs some lovin' too?
I'm just askin'

Can't find neighbors who are mending fences
From the mansions, to the Hamptons, to the Central Park benches
City folk wearing all their armor
Another St. Nick rings a bell on the corner

So many people to love
And so little time
Gotta hurry
There are big girls and little boys
Broken hearts and dreams destroyed now
They need me to make it better

What's an angel gotta do when she needs some lovin' too?
I'm just askin'. askin'
I'm just askin'

They Just Want You To Be There lyrics - Carly Simon

They don't care if you brush your hair
They just care that you're there
They don't mind if you stay upstairs
They just care that you're there

They don't know if you're all you've ever wanted to be
Or if life has answered your prayers

They just want you to be there
They just want you to be there

They don't mind if you're mad and yell
As long as it's not at them
Doesn't matter you're sad, they can tell
It's not because of them

They don't know that you're striving to be someone
And you're not sure how you will fare

They just want you to be there
They just want you to be there
They just want you to be there

Just as long as you're somewhat right
You can do no wrong
Their trusting eyes looking up at you
Believing you're so strong

They don't know that in time they'll grow into your shoes
They'll pound the ground and they'll swear
But they'll want you to be there
They just want you to be there
They just want you to be there

And you know, I know, you know, I know, it's clear
A thousand percent for you, I am, I am, I'm here

And you know I know I know you know it's clear
A thousand percent for you I am, I am I'm here
A thousand percent for you I am, I am, I am, I'm here
And I know, I know, I know
And I know, I know, it's clear
And I know, I know, I know, it's clear

The Last Samba lyrics - Carly Simon

The last samba
The last samba is playing
Don't waste me it seems to be saying
For soon this crescent moon will fade
Becoming only broken shell
And half remembered tunes

So take me then
Here on this sand in the midst of these stars
Swaying in thrall to the fading guitars
Lost on the beach in this trance

They're playing the last samba
Shall we dance?

And half remembered tunes

So take me then
Here on this sand in the midst of these stars
Swaying in thrall to the fading guitars
Lost on the beach in this trance

They're playing the last samba
The last samba
The last samba
Shall we dance?
Hmm, shall we dance?
Shall we dance?

Sangre Dolce lyrics - Carly Simon

The soft winds of Buenos Aires
Once blew into her room
Now all she can do is kneel and pray
Sangre dolce
Sangre dolce

She's lost in the streets
Lost in her thoughts
She's lost in the smiles of the baby all day
She's new in New York, dressed up like a doll
But broken like clay
Sangre dolce
Sangre dolce

She cries when underneath the crystal moon
She hears a sultry Spanish song
But coming from that neighborhood saloon
It sounds all wrong

Puts the child in the stroller
And walks through the park
"What a beautiful baby you have"
The women all say
"Thank you" she says, pretending it's hers
Her own is so far away

Sangre dolce
Sangre dolce
Sangre dolce...

Too Soon To Say Goodbye lyrics - carly simon

Too soon to say goodbye, my dear
Too soon to let you go
Too soon to say, "Auf Wiederschen"
"Au revoir," no, no

Too soon to say goodbye, my dear
Too soon to rest my case
Too soon to start another journey
When we've just won the race

Not while the lanterns and chandeliers
Sway in the pale moonlight
Not while the shimmer of far and near
Holds us both so tight

Too soon to say goodbye, my dear
Too soon the tide will rise
But not 'til it reaches another shore
Will I ever say "goodbye"

Not while the music and fireworks
Sing down the hill to the sound
Not while the girls in their summer gowns
Are dancing round and round

Too soon to see the world beyond
I'm willing to be late
Let's stay right here beneath the stars
Let the voyage wait

Cause it's too soon,
Too soon, to soon to say goodbye
Too soon

"Into White" (2007)

Oh! Susanna lyrics - Carly Simon

I came from Alabama wid my banjo on my knee,
I'm g'wan to Louisiana my true love for to see,
It rain'd all night the day I left, the weather it was dry,
The sun so hot I frose to death; Susanna, dont you cry.

[Chorus:]
Oh! Susanna, Oh! dont you cry for me,
I've come from Alabama, wid my banjo on my knee.

I jumped aboard de telegraph, and trabbelled down de ribber,
De Lectrie fluid magnified, and killed five hundred Nigger
De bullgine bust, de horse run off, I realy thought I'd die;
I shut my eyes to hold my breath, Susanna, dont you cry.

[Chorus]

I had a dream de odder night when ebery ting was still;
I thought I saw Susanna, a coming down de hill.
The buckwheat cake war in her mouth, the tear was in her eye,
Says I'm coming from de South, Susanna, dont you cry.

[Chorus]

I scon will be in New Orleans, and den I'll look all round,
And when I find Susanna, I' fall upon the ground.
But if I do not find her, dis darkie 'I surely die,
And when I'm dead and buried, Susanna, dont you cry.

[Chorus]

All I Have To Do Is Dream lyrics - Carly Simon

I can make you mine,
Taste your lips of wine,
Any time, night or day.
Only trouble is, gee whiz,
I'm dreamin' my life away.

Dream,
Dream, dream, dream,
Dream,
Dream, dream, dream
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream,
Dream, dream, dream.

When I want you
In the night,
When I want you
To hold me tight,
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream,
Dream, dream, dream,
Dream,
Dream, dream, dream.

I can make you mine,
Taste your lips of wine,
Any time, night or day.
Only trouble is, gee whiz,
I'm dreamin' my life away.

I need you so
That I could die.
I want you so
And that is why
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream,
Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream,
Dream,
Dream, dream, to dream, to dream, to dream,
Dream,
Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream.

Devoted To You lyrics - Carly Simon

Darling you can count on me
'Till the sun dries up the sea
Until then I'll always be
Devoted to you

I'll be yours 'till endless time
I'll adore your charms sublime
Guess by now you know that I'm
Devoted to you

I'll never hurt you
I'll never lie
I'll never be untrue
I'll never give you reason to cry
I'd be unhappy if you were blue
Through the years our love will grow
Like a river it will flow
It can't die because I'm so
Devoted to you

Into White lyrics - Carly Simon

I built my house from barley rice
Green pepper walls and water ice
Tables of paper wood, windows of light
And everything emptying into white.

A simple garden, with acres of sky
A Brown-haired dogmouse
If one dropped by
Yellow Delanie would sleep well at night
With everything emptying into white.

A sad Blue eyed drummer rehearses outside
A Black spider dancing on top of his eye
Red legged chicken stands ready to strike
And everything emptying into white.

I built my house from barley rice
Green pepper walls and water ice
And everything emptying into white

Over The Rainbow lyrics - Carly Simon

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

Hush Little Baby lyrics Carly Simon

Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird

And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass

And if that looking glass gets broke,
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat

And if that billy goat won't pull,
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull

And if that cart and bull fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town

My Bonnie lyrics - Carly Simon

My Bonnie lies over the ocean, my Bonnie lies over the sea,
My Bonnie lies over the ocean, O bring back my Bonnie to me.

[Chorus:]
Bring back, bring back, O bring back my Bonnie to me, to me:
Bring back, bring back, O bring back my Bonnie to me.

O blow ye winds over the ocean,
O blow ye winds over the sea.
O blow ye winds over the ocean,
And bring back my Bonnie to me.

[Chorus]

Last night as I lay on my pillow,
Last night as I lay on my bed,
Last night as I lay on my pillow,
I dreamed that my Bonnie was dead.

[Chorus]

The winds have blown over the ocean,
The winds have blown over the sea,
The winds have blown over the ocean,
And brought back my Bonnie to me.

[Chorus]

My Bonnie leaned over the gas tank,
The height of its contents to see,
I lit a small match to assist her,
O Bring back my Bonnie to me.

[Chorus]

Last night as I lay on my pillow,
Last night as I lay on my bed,
I stuck my feet out of the window,
In the morning the neighbors were dead.

[Chorus]

My mother makes beer in the bathtub,
My father makes synthetic gin,
My sister makes fudge for a quarter,
Wouldja believe how the money rolls in?

[Chorus]

My mother, she drowned in the bathtub,
My father, he died from his gin,
My sister choked on her chocolate,
My stars, what a fix I am in.

[Chorus]

I tried making beer in the bathtub,
I tried making synthetic gin,
I tried making fudge for a living,
Now look at the shape that I'm in.

I Gave My Love A Cherry (The Riddle Song) lyrics - Carly Simon

I gave my love a cherry
That had no stone
I gave my love a chicken
That had no bone
I told my love a story
That had no end
I gave my love a baby
With no crying.
How can there be a cherry
That has no stone?
And how can there be a chicken
That has no bone?
And how can there be a story
That has no end?
And how can there be a baby
With no crying?

A cherry when it's blooming
It has no stone
A chicken when it's piping
It has no bone
The story that I love you
It has no end
A baby when it's sleeping
It's no crying.

Blackbird lyrics - Carly Simon

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

You Can Close Your Eyes lyrics - Carly Simon

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.

Jamaica Farewell lyrics - Carly Simon

Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
But when I reached Jamaica I made her stop

Now I'm sad to say
I'm on my way (on my way)
I won't be back for many a day
My heart is down
My head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls sway to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Though I have been from Maine to Mexico

Still I'm sad to say
I'm on my way (on my way)
I won't be back for many a day
My heart is down
My head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Down at the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
Ackev rice, salt fish are nice
Oh the rum is fine anytime of year

Now I'm sad to say
I'm on my way (on my way)
I won't be back for many a day
My heart is down
My head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
I took a trip on a sailing ship
But when I reached Jamaica I made her stop

Now I'm sad to say
I'm on my way (on my way)
I won't be back for many a day
My heart is down
My head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

You Are My Sunshine lyrics - Carly Simon

The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and cried

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me to love another
You'll regret it all someday

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
