You’re My Baby Now
(Barkam/Adams)
Hey, girl, put away your handkerchief
Dry your eyes and get ahold of your heart
Lift your head up, don’t you worry now
Brighter days are just about to start
You been scraping bottom long enough
Pushed and pulled by every “all-the-way” guy, yeah
But now I’m here to shelter you
And love you faithfully until I die, yeah
You’re my baby now
And I wanna take care of you
You’re my baby now
And I wanna take care of you
Don’t you be afraid to follow me
Take my hand and let me lead you away
Away from all those bitter memories
That you’re having trouble shaking today, yeah
Just relax and let me open your eyes
To all the things you never could see
‘Cause once you’re in my arms and feel the love
I got for you you’re gonna be free, yes you will
Don’t you worry, baby
(Don’t worry, baby yeah)
Hmm, everything gonna be all right
(I know you’re gonna make it, you’re gonna make it right)
Don’t you worry, honey, no no no
(Oh, hold me to you, baby, hold me close)
Gonna make the sun shine
(Gonna make the sun shine)
Gonna make the sun shine so high
Taking Our Own Sweet Time
(Barkam/Adams)
Taking our own sweet time
Love, it comes easy
Nothing better to do
Baby, just me and you
Taking our own sweet time
People forget that they’re young
Everything’s old pat
‘Cause they don’t know where it’s at
We got the secret of life in the palm of our hand
We don’t bury our heads in the sand
And we don’t make any plans
Taking our own sweet time
Living is breezy
If you know how to slow down
And take a look around
Brothers and sisters
Why run around like a chicken without a head
When you can relax in your bed
Why should we go by the clock each and every day
Just let your heart lead the way
And think of the games we can play
You can tell that you don’t love me
But baby that’s a lie
‘Cause I see the lovelight burning
Right there in your eye
After all is said and done
You know I’m the only one, yeah
Let’s move on
Pick up and go now
Ooh, move on
Hop aboard my sweet lips baby
‘Cause we’re gonna travel far
Who knows where we’re gonna wind up
Maybe the nearest star, hey
Ain’t no reason we should wait
We’re playing a game of hesitate
Let’s move on
A lot of places to go now
Ooh, mama move on
You got to take me higher
Ooh, get down with it girl now
So what if the feeling don’t last forever
At least we have today
Gonna do the things that we want
And do them our own way
Don’t you worry about a thing
Take what comes that life will bring
Let’s move on
Kick the dust off your feet now
Oh, mama move on it
Stop your messing about now
Let’s move on
If You Can’t Be Hurt
(Barkam/Adams)
If you can’t be hurt, you can’t be happy
How you gonna laugh if you can’t cry
If you can’t be hurt, you can’t be happy
You can’t be happy unless you try
Life is a gamble, it’s true
For every highway there’s a rocky road, too
And you’re gonna stub your toe
Somewhere down the line, yeah
But chalk it up to living
If you can take what this life is giving
That’s a very good sign, yeah
Baby, I know you been beat
You’ve had too much bitter and not enough sweet
But if you tried it with me
Maybe you’ll be glad
It’s up to you to choose, now
If you want a chance to win or lose
Now don’t you play the game scared, yeah
“Tomorrow” is the answer that I will give
If you ask me where do I live
And where do I stay
Yes, tomorrow
There is love all around
Way up high where I’m flying
Playing tag in the sky ever-flying
Tomorrow
Tomorrow, take my hand and I’ll lead the way
You’ll forget about yesterday
Right here in my arms
And forever there’d be a new world
Where all our dreams come true
Tomorrow, tomorrow
With you
Look at the rainbow
Look at the moon glow
Look at the clouds roll by
Baby, just you and I
Walkin’ on air
Everything’s sunny
Tasting like honey
Doesn’t the world look nice
Up here in paradise
Walkin’ on air
(Walkin’ on air is so easy)
All you gotta know is how to do it
(Walkin’ on air is so breezy)
There’s really nothing to it
It wasn’t always this way
We had to shake all our hang-ups
To get where we’re living today
The stars that surround us
Make love all around us
And isn’t the feeling fine
From now until the end of time
We’ll be walkin’ on air
Happiness Valley
(Barkam/Adams)
Show me the way to Happiness Valley
Where there’s sunshine and laughter every day
Show me the way to Happiness Valley
Where a smile can chase heartbreak away
It’s a place in your mind
That’s not so hard to find
If somebody’s there to care, yeah
So, show me the way to Happiness Valley
‘Cos I’ve never been there before
Just give me the love I’ve been dreaming of
And you’ll open up the door
To Happiness Valley forever more
I wanna go back to those sweet and simple days
Goin’ back to that cheerful little place
Goin’ back, back through time
Back through space, goin’ back
Do you remember when we had such fun
Playing all those happy games in the sun
We didn’t have too much to think about
All our problems had a way of working out
Skipping through the park and holding hands
We were building castles in the sand
Everything was rosy way back then
Oh, come on, let’s make it happen again
