A Time and A Way and I'll Start Running from the album A Time and A Way
Valentino and Kathmandu from the album Now and Then
A TIME AND A WAY
Do you have to go away? Must you leave me now this way
It’s so hard for me to speak the words that I had planned to say
There’s a time and it is now. There’s a way to show you how
Do you have to leave the stage and take just one more bow
Must you go away. Must you go away
Do you have to end the dance Do you have to take a chance
Do you have to find another you could fall for at first glance
Do you have to make me blue Do you have to say we’re through
Do you have to leave when there’s so much more I can give to you
Must you end the dance. Must you end the dance
Do you have to, have to end the dance
If we could turn back time to the day that when we first met
We could find the words to say it’s not over yet
Did you have to cut the thread when there’s so much left unsaid
Did you have to close the book with many pages left unread
Do you have to cause me pain Do I have to lose the game.
Why can’t I place just one more bet and roll the dice again
Must you cut the thread. Must you cut the thread
Do you have to, have to cut the thread
If we could turn back time to the day that when we first met
We could find the words to say it’s not over yet
Do you have to go away? Must you leave me now this way
It’s so hard for me to speak the words that I had planned to say
There’s a time and it is now. There’s a way to show you how
Do you have to leave the stage and take just one more bow
Do you have to. Do you have to
Do you have to, have to go away

VALENTINO
Hello, It's good to see you again
Let's go for a little walk
I know we're getting serious
So we need to have a little talk
I know that love don't come easy
So I hope you'll understand
I'm no Casanova, just an ordinary man
I'm no Valentino, but I'll do the beat I can
I know we've both had love affairs before
But they didn't pass the test of time
And in this world of broken promises
We know true love's so very hard to find
I know that love don't come easy
So I hope you'll understand
I can't write love stories, I'm an ordinary man
I'm no Valentino, but I'll do the beat I can
Think twice before you walk away
I'll never get another chance to say
That I love you, truly love you
And so, I've told you how I really feel
I've poured my heart out in a song
I'll stand by you through all the good and bad
Together we can do no wrong
I know that love don't come easy
So I hope you'll understand
I can't paint your portrait, I'm an ordinary man
I'm no Valentino, but I'll do the beat I can
I know that love don't come easy
So I hope you'll understand
I'm no Casanova, just an ordinary man
I'm no Valentino, but I'll do the beat I can
I’LL START RUNNING
I saw your eyes through a sea of faces
And you were looking straight back at me
And now that we are starting over
I just don’t wanna set you free
When I am holding you close in my arms
You’re like a glove that fits in my hand
When we walk by the sea together
We leave our footprints in the sand
If you start talking I‘ll start listening
If you start walking I’ll start running
Cause I never wanna be so far away from you
When I am lost you point the right way
When I feel down you lift me higher
When I come home you give me shelter
And when I’m cold you light my fire
If you start talking I‘ll start listening
If you start walking I’ll start running
Cause I never wanna be so far away from you
In we ever lose our way
We’ll find a path to battle our way out of the maze
So if I ever see catch you crying
I’m gonna wipe away all your tears
You’ll never ever hear me lying
I’ll give you all – the - truth you need to hear
If you start talking I‘ll start listening
If you start walking I’ll start running
Cause I never wanna be so far away from you
If there are dark clouds on the horizon
We’ll find a path to battle our way out of the storm
So when I’m holding you close in my arms
You’re like a glove that fits in my hand
When we walk by the sea together
We leave our footprints in the sand
If you start talking I‘ll start listening
If you start walking I’ll start running
Cause I never wannna be so far away from you
Cause I never wanna be so far away
KATHMANDU
I could take you to the zoo
Or the streets of Kathmandu
We could do what lovers do
And I could stick to you like glue
I’ve tried a hundred ways, baby just to make you see
All I want to know is, baby what you want from me
We could both eat caviar
Drink gin and tonic in the bar
You could join me on guitar
Singing “Whisky in the Jar”
I’ve tried a hundred ways baby just to make you see
All I want to know is baby what you want from me
You gotta believe me, my heart’s an open door
I’ll tell you right now it’s what this game of love is for
I could take you to a show
At Caesars Palace don’t you know
Take a ride on my motorbike
And make love on the Isle of Wight
I’ve tried a hundred ways baby just to make you see
All I want to know is baby what you want from me
I’m doing all I can to reach your heart and soul
If you stay with me baby maybe we can rock and roll
I could take you to the zoo
Or the streets of Kathmandu
We could do what lovers do
And I could stick to you like glue
I’ve tried a hundred ways, baby just to make you see
All I want to know is, baby what you want from me
I’m not asking any more
but tell me what do you want from me
