Song Lyrics

A Perfectly Foolish Young Man I Wanted Part One Where the Halling Valley River Lies Book Six Beachcombings from the Halling Valley Riverbank 2

More (Lyrical) Beachcombings

Some Romantic Afternoon

Some Romantic Afternoon

I will hear that haunting tune

The one that I would softly croon

By a lagoon

We'd go sailing to Cadiz

For a while it seemed like bliss

Now it all seems just a myth

Like Brigadoon

Took a boat to southern Spain

Just to see her face again

She had gone forever

Not to return there

I could not control the tears

How they burned my eyes

As I looked back at those lost years

Some Romantic Afternoon

I will hear that haunting tune

The one that I would softly croon

By a lagoon.

Oh My My My (Call the FBI)

Couldn't believe my peepers

When I first saw you

Couldn't believe the beauty

Of your baby blues

I knew I had to ask you if you'd

Like to dance

I knew I had to take heart and to

Take that chance

First you resisted me you said

You couldn't leave

Your friends alone

But after our first dance you said

You thought they would be

OK to find their own way home

Oh my my my

Call the FBI

I think I lost my pride

I think I found my bride

Couldn't believe I'd ever

Find a girl like you

Couldn't believe we'd bond

As if by Superglue

I knew I had such tender feelings

In my heart

I knew that I could fix it so we'd

Never part

First you resisted me you said

You weren't ready

To fall in love

But after our first dance you said

You thought you'd give

This crazy swain another chance

Oh my my my

Call the FBI

I think I lost my pride

I think I found my bride.

For More than a Million Dreams

Keep on chipping

Right away at my heart

Because you touched it

Right from the start

If you were to leave me

And then

We were to part

It would really tear me apart

Don't stop now,

Darling you're getting to me

Don't quit now

That you're ahead

Don't stop now

You've made an impression on me

Now there's no getting you out of my head.

Keep on tearing

All my defences down

Because I feel that

They're all going to fall

Keep on keeping up with

All of your charms

Because I feel

I'm going to give you my all

Don't stop now,

You lit such a fire in me

Don't quit now

Because that would be cruel

Don't stop now

Darling, don't tire of me

I'd feel such a fool and so confused

You're the one

I have longed for you

For more than a million dreams

You're the one

I have been strong for you

You don't know how hard it's been

Don't stop now,

Darling you're getting to me

Don't quit now

That you're ahead

Don't stop now.

Melancholy Girl

Melancholy Girl

With your pre-Raphaelite curls

You don't seem quite of this world

Such a strange and a sad-eyed girl

What happened to your smile

How came you to be so full of guile

Your eyes seem to stare for miles

For such a sweet and a tender child

There's someone you've got to meet

The truth can set you free

Eternally

Enigmatic babe

The way you live is a shame

Life is more than a game

Freedom's found in just one name

I'd like to show you another way

Where the dark can't harm you

Night or day

Melancholy Girl,

With your pre-Raphaelite curls

You don't seem quite of this world

Such a strange and a sad-eyed girl.

My Travels

My travels start

Right here

Deep in my mind

My travels take me just where

I please I don't have

To leave my warm room

My travels start

Sixteen sun

Beating down

Sinatra's crooning Jobim

And I'm just dreaming of my

Great romance to come

I don't need a little ticket

Tells me I can take the train

I don't even to risk it

There's no blistering sun

Or driving rain

And it's here that I remain

My travels end

With a sweet

And peaceful time

I've found such sense deep within

No more will I feel

The need to go travelling again.
