Carly Simon - All I Have To Do Is Dream - lyrics

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.

Carly Simon - Actress - lyrics

Some day I'm going to grow up
And be every man's dream
Some day I'm going to grow up
And forget this sad little me
I'm going to shine in the spotlight
Wear sexy clothes
Be somebody everybody wants to meet
And no one ever really knows
No one will ever know me
I'm an actress through and through
And to my bones
I'm an actress through and through
And to my bones
Critics will adore me
At least they will at first
But you see I already know this
So it can't never really hurt
And if it does, I'm an actress
I'll play it nonchalant
In the total scheme of things it's insignificant
(sure I can take the knocks)
Cause I'm an actress through and through
And to my bones
I'm an actress through and through
And to my bones
I may not be that pretty now
But who's the referee
Standards of beauty
Will be redefined because of me
And then they'll be the scandals
Everywhere my name
Men will jump from balconies
And I'll just shrug and take the blame
(yeah, they'll say I died for love)
Cause I'm an actress through and through
And to my bones
Well, I'm an actress through and through
And to my bones
My acceptance speech will be a milestone
Never will such a star
Have ever graced the microphone
And of course I'll thank my agent
The way they always do
Though I could have done it without him
And that goes for the Academy too
And the makeup people and the lighting designers and everybody else
Cause I'm an actress throughand through
And to my bones
I'm an actress through and through
And to my bones
I'm an actress yeah, yeah, yeah
I'll be gracious to the lesser stars
And generous to the unknowns
And if another actress threatens
My position on the throne
Well, I don't know exactly what I'll do
I don't exactly know
But I know that it could turn into
One of my most poignant roles
Everyone will have their handkerchiefs out
And they'll have to leave the theater early
And then they'll go home
And what'll they do?
They`ll have a big glass of alcohol
Cause I'm an actress through and through
And to my bones
And if I make it to the top I won't be overthrown
I'm an actress ah, yeah, yeah

Carly Simon - Amity - lyrics

(feat. Sally Taylor)
We were so strong then
We built our house on our love
We had a heart on the hill
Love was so proud then
We lived in the clouds when
The tower was crumbling down
Around us on the hill
Oh, we've got to leave this town together
Clean out another house
Amity
Amity is not too much to ask
We reach to the sky still
In hopes we'd be able
To see the bigger picture later on
But we tumbled down
Jack 'n Jill all around
As the valley swallowed up
All the dreams we had made
Oh, see the lighthouse in the distance
On some farther shore
We were so strong then
We built our house on our love
We had a heart on the hill
Love was so proud then
We lived in the clouds when
The tower was crumbling down
Around us on the hill

Carly Simon - Another Door - lyrics

(carly simon)
Some destination,
A footstep in the sand
Some indication,
A truth to understand.
Im going hunting,
To find it if I can.
But it might be just an arrow,
To still some other plan.
(chorus)
Hidden meanings and loves strange ways
Keep me looking for more and more,
But all I find is that behind
Each new door is another door.
Times printed pages,
Words you wont forget;
Go out and try to live them,
Youll be an angel yet.
Im going hunting,
I think Ill win the bet.
But it might end up winning me sorrow,
And leaving my soul in debt.
(chorus)

Carly Simon - All I Want Is You - lyrics

(carly simon/jacob brackman/andy goldmark)
What do the neighbours say
When they hear us scream at night
Do they talk about a love
All in tatters
What do the neighbours know
About the heart and soul
The fire down below
That really matters
They can never guess
In the silences
That all I want is you
And the sexy hurricane
We got here
All I want is you
I dont want a man
To say good morning dear
Let em listen at the door
Let em listen through the floor
Let em go ahead and draw the wrong conclusion
So chase me round the room
Make me crazy like the moon
They can never guess
In the silences
That all I want is you
And the sexy hurricane that we share
All I want is you
I dont want a man
Who tiptoes up the stairs
All I want is you
And the freight train
Whistling over my track
All I want is you
And your mack truck loving
Jumping me jack!
Oh, jack!

Carly Simon - A Mother's Intuition - lyrics

It's a mother's intuition
To make a little space
It's her quiet mission to tidy up her place
A mother's intuition is like a kangaroo's
She hops around, she mops the ground
She fusses over you
A mother
With her intuition
Will know just what to do
It's a mother's intuition to wash her baby
Well she won't forget behind the ears
And the extra soap suds on the tail
A mother's into cleaning
She'll clean until she's through
She's smart enough
She's wise enough
To add up two and two
A mother
With her intuition
Will know just what to do
A mother has a feeling
She pays special attention
If someone is concealing
If someone's playing tricks
She rubs and scrubs and scours the secrets
Until the answer clicks
Then she takes a brush
And polishes your teeth
She'll make you shine and sparkle new
Until she finds the real you
Underneath
Isn't it charming?
Just mommy and little Roo
Fresh as a daisy
Sparkling just like new
It's a mother's intuition
It's a mother's intuition
It's a mother's intuition

Carly Simon - Alone - lyrics

(carly simon)
My goin has nothing to do with you
Im planning a trip all alone
And all I want is a room with a view
Where the sight of the sunset full blown
Makes me ache with feeling alone.
(chorus)
And Ill think about you there
If i do some thinkin
And Ill care about you there
As its love Ive know
Its not to leave you that Im goin
Im just goin to be alone
It seems that Im hearing those noises again
The voices, once small, now have grown.
Flashbacks keep sending me way back to when
The sounds of the waves on the stones
Make me ache with feelin alone
(chorus)

Carly Simon - (We Have) No Secrets - lyrics

We have no secrets
We tell each other everything
About the lovers in our past
And why they didn't last
We share a cast of characters from
A to Z
We know each other's fantasies
And though we know each other better
when we explore
Sometimes I wish
Often I wish
That I never knew some of those
secrets of yours
The water was cold
The beach was empty but for one
Now you were lying in the sun
Wanting and needing no one
Then some child came, you never
asked for her to come
She drank a pint of your rum
And later when you told me
You said she was a bore
Sometimes I wish
Oft times I wish
That I never, never knew
Some of those secrets of yours
In the name of honesty, in the name
of what is fair
You always answer my questions
but they don't always answer my
prayers
And though I know you say that it's
me that you adore
Sometimes I wish
Often I wish
That I never, never, never knew
Some of those secrets of yours
Some of those secrets of yours
Some of those secrets of yours
We have no secrets
Telling each other most everything now

Carly Simon - After The Storm - lyrics

(carly simon)
Heats up, teas brewed
Clothes strewn around the room
Looks like a wind swept through
Made a wild man out of you
And doesnt anger turn you on
And expectation of a calm
After the storm
And your body feels so warm
After the storm
The winds pulling the moon down
Under the eiderdown
Youre taking me to town
And youre tossing me around
You come on like a hurricane
Im settling like youre weathervane
After the storm
And your body feels so warm
After the storm

Carly Simon - Anticipation - lyrics

(carly simon)
We can never know about the days to come
But we think about them anyway
And I wonder if Im really with you now
Or just chasing after some finer day.
Anticipation, anticipation
Is making me late
Is keeping me waiting
And I tell you how easy it is to be with you
And how right your arms feel around me.
Bit I rehearsed those words just late last night
When I was thinking about how right tonight might be.
Anticipation, anticipation
Is making me late
Is keeping me waiting
And tomorrow we might not be together
Im no prophet, I dont know natures way
So Ill try to see into your eyes right now
And stay right here, cause these are the good old days.
