Just Like This – Lyrics
Below you will find lyrics and links to my new CD “Just Like This”. Over the past year I worked with producers and musicians mainly in the US to create a bit of fusion between my interests in Latin dance music and folk/rock. 以下に、私の新しいCD「Just Like This（このままで）」のリンクを掲載しています。昨年、主にアメリカのプロデューサーやミュージシャンと協力して、私が好きなラテン・ダンスミュージックとフォーク・ロックを融合した作品を作りました。

Carry On
There were days I could rest my head on your shoulder
Count the ways we were getting so much bolder
There were times we walked the misty streets together
The words and rhymes floated down light as feathers
But those days are gone
These days I do my best to carry on
There were nights that seemed to last forever
Till the morning light would reveal all in its splendor
There were times that nothing mattered
Except your touch, your smile, your kiss, your laughter
Now those days are gone
These days there’s just these memories to keep me strong
There were signs our good fortune couldn’t last forever.
But for a while fate smiled on us here together
Oh the times that nothing mattered
Except your touch, your smile, your kiss, your laughter
But in our race with father time
We couldn’t slow down the hands racing around the dial
Yeah those days are gone
These days all that’s left is to carry on
All that’s left all that’s left is to carry on
Count the ways we were getting so much bolder
There were times we walked the misty streets together
The words and rhymes floated down light as feathers
But those days are gone
These days I do my best to carry on
There were nights that seemed to last forever
Till the morning light would reveal all in its splendor
There were times that nothing mattered
Except your touch, your smile, your kiss, your laughter
Now those days are gone
These days there’s just these memories to keep me strong
There were signs our good fortune couldn’t last forever.
But for a while fate smiled on us here together
Oh the times that nothing mattered
Except your touch, your smile, your kiss, your laughter
But in our race with father time
We couldn’t slow down the hands racing around the dial
Yeah those days are gone
These days all that’s left is to carry on
All that’s left all that’s left is to carry on
Just Like This
I want to fall asleep like this
In your arms like this
Like this like this
I want to wake up like this
Oh so close like this
Like this, just like this
Waking to the morning light
Lying there wondering why
This is so easy to forget
I want to walk the streets like this
Under crimson clouds
your kiss your kiss
Lying on our backs like this
Laughing at the stars so far out of reach
Like this, just like this.
Beautiful Venus shining so bright
You ask where
The wonder goes
We stand and share a smile
I take your hand
And into the night we go
Into the night
Into the night
We go
Into the night
Into the night
Into the night
Where the wonder goes
I want to fall asleep like this
In your arms like this
Like this just like this
Like this like this
In your arms like this
Like this like this
I want to wake up like this
Oh so close like this
Like this, just like this
Waking to the morning light
Lying there wondering why
This is so easy to forget
I want to walk the streets like this
Under crimson clouds
your kiss your kiss
Lying on our backs like this
Laughing at the stars so far out of reach
Like this, just like this.
Beautiful Venus shining so bright
You ask where
The wonder goes
We stand and share a smile
I take your hand
And into the night we go
Into the night
Into the night
We go
Into the night
Into the night
Into the night
Where the wonder goes
I want to fall asleep like this
In your arms like this
Like this just like this
Like this like this
Love You Enough
You’re sitting there crying say you don’t know why
Got that thinking about leaving look in your eye
What the hell is wrong tonight
Not even sure I want to know why this time
This time………This time
Watch your step on this rocky road
I’m doing my best so that we don’t fall
But if you want to run away
I can’t promise that I’ll say please stay this time
This time…This time..This time
Wind and Rain, Stones and Fire
Can’t keep me satisfied
I need your touch, need your desire
I need your sweet little hand in mine
In mine….this time.
Watch your step on this slippery slope
I’m doing my best to share the load
If you want to leave, you better know
That I might love you enough to let you go
Let you go…This time
Wind and Rain, Stones and Fire
Can’t keep me satisfied
I need your touch, need your desire
I need your sweet little hand in mine
In mine….in mine
If you want to leave, there’s something you better know
That I might love you enough to let you go
Let you go…This time
Got that thinking about leaving look in your eye
What the hell is wrong tonight
Not even sure I want to know why this time
This time………This time
Watch your step on this rocky road
I’m doing my best so that we don’t fall
But if you want to run away
I can’t promise that I’ll say please stay this time
This time…This time..This time
Wind and Rain, Stones and Fire
Can’t keep me satisfied
I need your touch, need your desire
I need your sweet little hand in mine
In mine….this time.
Watch your step on this slippery slope
I’m doing my best to share the load
If you want to leave, you better know
That I might love you enough to let you go
Let you go…This time
Wind and Rain, Stones and Fire
Can’t keep me satisfied
I need your touch, need your desire
I need your sweet little hand in mine
In mine….in mine
If you want to leave, there’s something you better know
That I might love you enough to let you go
Let you go…This time
Snack Bar Queen
Beauty fades, I see it’s getting you down
Just remember all the years the fellows lined up to polish your crown
Resting on your laurels never seemed to be your game
Don’t let anyone say all that’s left is your victory lap of fame
He may be a bit long in tooth and nail
But he’s a gentleman darling, still a bit of hair, hardy and hale
Ready to take you dancing downtown
Dry your eyes, fix your makeup, lose that sad frown
Cuz there’s a price you may have to pay one day
For all the pills and late nights singing karaoke
But there’s still time to dance the night away
Yeah dance the night away
Beauty fades, don’t let it get you down
You’ve been the queen of the best little snack bars in this holiday town
Now is no time to relinquish your reign
Don’t let anyone say all that’s left is your victory lap of fame
Cuz there’s a price you may have to pay one day
For all the pills and late nights singing karaoke
But there’s still time to dance the night away
Yeah there’s till more time to dance the night away
Beauty fades, but it never disappears
You’ve been feted dated and rated now for many a long year
Now is no time for bitter tears in vain
Don’t let anyone say all that’s left is your victory lap of fame
Just remember all the years the fellows lined up to polish your crown
Resting on your laurels never seemed to be your game
Don’t let anyone say all that’s left is your victory lap of fame
He may be a bit long in tooth and nail
But he’s a gentleman darling, still a bit of hair, hardy and hale
Ready to take you dancing downtown
Dry your eyes, fix your makeup, lose that sad frown
Cuz there’s a price you may have to pay one day
For all the pills and late nights singing karaoke
But there’s still time to dance the night away
Yeah dance the night away
Beauty fades, don’t let it get you down
You’ve been the queen of the best little snack bars in this holiday town
Now is no time to relinquish your reign
Don’t let anyone say all that’s left is your victory lap of fame
Cuz there’s a price you may have to pay one day
For all the pills and late nights singing karaoke
But there’s still time to dance the night away
Yeah there’s till more time to dance the night away
Beauty fades, but it never disappears
You’ve been feted dated and rated now for many a long year
Now is no time for bitter tears in vain
Don’t let anyone say all that’s left is your victory lap of fame
The Ballad of Jimmy and Judy
Jimmy Jimmy you’re a blast to watch
From girl to girl just like a spinning top
First they love you then they love you not
Say you’re feeling blue
Judy Judy you’re such a mess
Got left standing there in your wedding dress
With the cake all cut, the thankyou letters addressed
Now what you gonna do?
Cuz nobody’s going to love you
Nobody’s ever going to love you
No No No Nobody’s ever going to love you
Like you really oughta love yourself
Now Jimmy and Judy they were destined to meet
A couple kids later neither’s feeling so sweet
Thank god she’s got her big TV
And he’s got his sports bar downtown
Cuz nobody’s going to love you
Nobody’s ever going to love you
No No No Nobody’s ever going to love you
Like you really oughta love yourself
You know your insignificance might just be the key
That locks you up or sets you free
A walk by the river in the gentle breeze
Will help you find that heart that’s true
Cuz nobody’s going to love you
Nobody’s ever going to love you
No No No Nobody’s ever going to love you
Like you really oughta love yourself
You know you really oughta
Yeah you really oughta
Yeah you really oughta
Why don’t you do it now
From girl to girl just like a spinning top
First they love you then they love you not
Say you’re feeling blue
Judy Judy you’re such a mess
Got left standing there in your wedding dress
With the cake all cut, the thankyou letters addressed
Now what you gonna do?
Cuz nobody’s going to love you
Nobody’s ever going to love you
No No No Nobody’s ever going to love you
Like you really oughta love yourself
Now Jimmy and Judy they were destined to meet
A couple kids later neither’s feeling so sweet
Thank god she’s got her big TV
And he’s got his sports bar downtown
Cuz nobody’s going to love you
Nobody’s ever going to love you
No No No Nobody’s ever going to love you
Like you really oughta love yourself
You know your insignificance might just be the key
That locks you up or sets you free
A walk by the river in the gentle breeze
Will help you find that heart that’s true
Cuz nobody’s going to love you
Nobody’s ever going to love you
No No No Nobody’s ever going to love you
Like you really oughta love yourself
You know you really oughta
Yeah you really oughta
Yeah you really oughta
Why don’t you do it now
Why Why Baby, Goodbye?
I got a few dollars but I’m short on sense
Cuz I’ve been dying to see you again
It’s good I got my friends
To talk me out of trying
Cuz you didn’t treat me so well
But I tell myself what the hell
There ain’t nobody that’s ever loved me
The way that you did
And it’s for the better I know
That you finally had to go
But could you please return my heart and soul
And some of the minor appliances
Where did I go wrong
How can I move on
When I’m not really sure why
You said goodbye, goodbye
Why why baby, goodbye?
I’d love to see you again
I guess that shows to what extent
I ain’t even started to find my way again
without you
Newspapers all out on the lawn
Sinks full of dishes since your gone
And I just can’t seem
To give a damn
And it’s for the better I know
That you finally had to go
But could you please return my heart and soul
And some of the minor appliances
Where did I go wrong
How can I move on
When I’m not really sure why
You said goodbye
Where did I go wrong
How can I move on
Could you just tell me one more time
Why you’re saying goodbye, goodbye
Why why baby, goodbye?
Cuz I’ve been dying to see you again
It’s good I got my friends
To talk me out of trying
Cuz you didn’t treat me so well
But I tell myself what the hell
There ain’t nobody that’s ever loved me
The way that you did
And it’s for the better I know
That you finally had to go
But could you please return my heart and soul
And some of the minor appliances
Where did I go wrong
How can I move on
When I’m not really sure why
You said goodbye, goodbye
Why why baby, goodbye?
I’d love to see you again
I guess that shows to what extent
I ain’t even started to find my way again
without you
Newspapers all out on the lawn
Sinks full of dishes since your gone
And I just can’t seem
To give a damn
And it’s for the better I know
That you finally had to go
But could you please return my heart and soul
And some of the minor appliances
Where did I go wrong
How can I move on
When I’m not really sure why
You said goodbye
Where did I go wrong
How can I move on
Could you just tell me one more time
Why you’re saying goodbye, goodbye
Why why baby, goodbye?
