- *I
REMEMBER YESTERDAY
-
- I
remember the first night we met
- Dancing
to the sounds of clarinet
- Dancing
cheek to cheek, oh how sweet
- You
and me and the 30's beat
- Oh,
I remember our first night
- I
remember how we carried on
- Holding
arms until the light of dawn
- From
the very start you stole my heart
- I
knew right there that we'd never part
- Oh,
I remember that first night
- I
saw your love light through the candle's glow
- Champagne
was flowing and so I let myself go
- And
when the night was over we both looked across the room
- Remember
darling? Chairs on the tables and only me and you
- Walking
home in Springtime showers
- In
the early morning hours
- You
took me to my door, we were sure
- So
we swore love forever more
- I
remember our first night

- *WORKING
THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT
-
- I'm
just a working girl, just earning her living
- When
the city's waking up I'm going home
- Working
the midnight shift, when all my friends are out
- They've
all gone out dancing, they're out having fun
- Working
the midnight shift for that extra little something
- The
things that are out of my reach, I need so bad
- Seems
like I'm always leaving when all the others arrive
- My
body still carries on, but I'm dying inside
-
- *RUMOUR
HAS IT
- Rumour
has it all around the town (keep it to yourself)
- Someone's
looking for a girl like me
- Where
can she be found
- I
hope he's who I think he is, I wonder if it's really him
- It's
gotta be the man I love, no one else but him
- Rumour
has it
- They
say he's gonna make this girl his everything
- He's
gonna love her and surround her with all those beautiful things
- It
was the most wonderful moment in my life I had
- My
life ended on that evening I lost him and it hurt so bad
- Rumour
has it
- You
never know just what you've won until you've lost
- And
the object of the game is not to pay the cost
- Anyone
can play the game, there are no rules
- And
you never know just what you've won until you lose
- I
know he's gonna find me, I know this was meant to be
- Well
you can change a lot of things in your life, but not your destiny
- And
when you find the best thing in life has come to you
- Hold
it in your hand real tight or it may slip through

- MIMI'S
SONG
-
- I
bet you ask yourself why I'm never there
- It's
not that I like being away
- You
see, I made a spectacle of myself
- And
it seems that the whole world needs me
- I
understand when you cry alone
- And
mama's not there to wipe your eyes
- You
see, it's only because I'm out being someone to make it right
- I
got a little letter and I read it on the plane
- And
in my heart I felt a funny kind of pain
- I
wished that I could be there and touch your face again
- Mimi,
you're beautiful
- Mimi,
you're mine
- And
all the things that I do in my life
- Seem
to take up all your precious time
- There's
so much more I'd long to say
- So
much more I'd long to do
- But
I guess it'll all just have to wait
- Till
I can get to see you
- Mimi,
you're mine
- Mimi,
you're mine
- Mimi
you fill my life
- You
fill my life with so much love
- 'Cause
you're beautiful, and you love me and you understand

- Someone
found the letter you wrote me on the radio
- And
they told the world just how you felt
- It
must have fallen out of a hole in your old brown overcoat
- They
never said your name but I knew just who they meant
- Oh,
I was so surprised and shocked and I wondered too
- If
by chance you heard it for yourself
- I
never told a soul just how I've been feeling over you
- But
they said really loud, they said it on the air
- On
the radio, oh oh
- Now,
don't it kinda strike you sad when you hear our song?
- Things
are not the same since we broke up last June
- The
only thing that I want to hear is that you love me still
- And
that you think you'll be coming home real soon, oh
- Yeah,
it kinda made me feel proud when I heard them say
- You
couldn't find the words to say it yourself
- And
now in my heart I know I can say what I really feel
- 'Cause
they said it really loud, they said it on the air
- On
the radio, oh oh
- If
you think that love isn't found on the radio
- Then
tune right in, you may find the love you lost
- 'Cause
now I'm sitting here with the man I sent away long ago
