ONCE OR TWICE
Words and music by Terry Kath
Oh girl
Oh girl
Well i'm not trying to be
Girl i'm no philosopher
So won't you
Girl i looked you over once or twice
Girl i think you got a messed up mind
YOU ARE ON MY MIND Words and music by James Pankow
You are on my mind
You are on my mind
(break)
Feeling just a little lonely
You are on my mind
SKIN TIGHT Words and music by James Pankow
Skin tight
Skin tight
Skin tight
IF YOU LEAVE ME NOW Words and music by Peter Cetera
If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me
A love like ours is love that's hard to find
Cause i need you more than you'll ever know
TOGETHER AGAIN Words and music by Lee Loughnane
The lonely days i spend away from you
Home
The lonely nights i spend away from you
ANOTHER RAINY DAY IN NEW YORK CITY Words and music by Robert Lamm
Another rainy day in New York City
Memories in my way in New York City
City workers cheer
Another spacey stay in New York city
Windy, wet and gray in New york City
So suddenly serene
MAMA MAMA Words and music by Peter Cetera
I can feel the magic
It's all so new to me
Mama mama when you look at me
You are all i live for
SCRAPBOOK
Words and music by Robert Lamm
Six sets smoked on Saturdays
We played the pier on Venice beach
Jimi was so kind to us
Around the world in twenty days
Lowdown at the Caribou
Summer with the Beach Boys
GENTLY I'LL WAKE YOU Words and music by Robert Lamm
Come to me, baby mine
I've been gone, far away
Gently i'll wake you
Hold me tight, don't let go
Come to me, baby imne
Gently i'll wake you
Lead vocal by Terry Kath
I looked you over once or twice
I think that you are very nice
And you're just meant for me
I think you got a messed up mind
But if you will take the time
Baby i can set you free
What i am not
But i think what you need
Is what i got
But i can offer you that cure
To mend your broken heart
I konw that you are not blind
I know you see my messed up mind
Yes, you see my broken heart too
Bring your heart and
Your mind that's out
On the run
Fuse them with my broken
Heart, in my mind
We'll be one.
I think that you are very nice
And you're just meant for me
Now that you know yours is
Just like mine
Baby, won't you set me free
Lead vocal by JAmes Pankow
The echo of your laughter flowing through me
Sitting by a mountain fire
And wishing you were in my arms
And loving me completely
Rocky mountain highs are very nice
But you are gone and nothing's quite the same
L.A. is so far away and I can't
Stand another day
Without you by my side
Though I've tried, tried, tried
You are everything a woman could be
Consequently i believe taht no one
Else could tak eyour place if you
Should ever leave me
I'll be coming home again to you
And look upon the woman that I love
There is nothing i can say that celebrates
The special way you keep me satisfied
Pretty girl
Wishing you were in my arms
Yeah.....
The echo of your laughter flowing through me
Sitting by a mountain fire
And wishing you were in my arms
And loving me completely
Rocky mountain highs are very nice
But you are gone and nothing's quite the same
L.A. is so far away and i can't
Stand another day
Without you by my side
Though i've tried, tried, tried.
Lead vocal by Peter Cetera
Fits me like a glove
Your love is
Skin tight
Yes indeed it is
Your love is
Alright
Anytime of day or night
Is alright
Skin tight
Fits me like a glove
Your love is skin tight
Only you can keep me going
All night
Love me till the cows come home
It's alright
Skin tight
Fits me like a glove
Your love is
Skin tight
Yes indeed it is
Your love is
Alright
Any time of day or night
Is alright
Skin tight
Lead vocal by Peter Cetera
No baby please don't go
If you leave me now, you'll take away the very heart of me
No baby please don't go
How could we let it slip away
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way
When tomorrow comes we'll both regret
Things we said today
Lead vocal by Lee Loughnane
Sometimes seem like they will never end
But then i picture the glow of your smiling face
And i can make it through the lonely days
And nights until i'm
With you
Where we
Can see
And feel
Our love
Together again
My friend
Are filled with memories of your dancing eyes
I feel i can make it through another day
Knowing that you'll be waiting to kiss me
Tenderly when i get home
Lead vocal by Peter Cetera
Softly sweet, so silently it falls
As crosstown traffic crawls
Tender, tough, too tragic to be true
And nothing i can do
The taxis disappear
Another rainy day in New York City
High up in an overpriced hotel
The view is really swell
No one here i really want to see
Old friends and family
The air is fresh and clean
Another rainy day in New York City
Lead vocal by Peter Cetera
Suddenly it's all around
I can see it clearly
I can even hear the sound
I'm not the same
If this is love - it's words i feel
Then you're to blame - but can't explain
I see love in your eyes
Mama mama softly sweet tender love in your eyes
Maybe that's enough to say
And you're the one i wrote this song for
Everywhere & everyway
Lead vocal by Robert Lamm
At Barnaby's on State
Countless California calls
We could not stand the wait
The crowd called out for more
Zappa and the Mothers next
We finished with a roar
Had us on the tour
We got some education
Like we never got before
We played most every night
Jet-lag, girls, strange languages
Everyone began to fight
All rumours aside
Was we could never get together
Not unless we tried
We got sand all in our shoes
Made some special music
Everybody sang the blues
Lead vocal by Robert Lamm
And i'll make love to you
Just when the sun begins to shine
On the morning dew
The days they seemed like years
Right by your side i'm gonna stay
Kiss away your tears
I won't hardly shake you
Gently i'll wake you
I won't hardly shake you
And i'll make sweet love to you
We'll dream the whole day through
I missed you more than you could know
I love only you
And i'll make love to you
Just when the sun begins to shine
On the morning dew
I won't hardly shake you
Gently i'll wake you
I won't hardly shake you
And i'll make sweet love to you
