One Of These Nights
One of these nights
One of these crazy old nights
We're gonna find out, pretty mama
What turns on your lights
The full moon is callin'
The fever is high
And the wicked wind whispers and moans
You got your demons
and you got desires
But I got a few of my own
Ooh, someone to be calin' to
In between the dark and the light
Ooh, comin' right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you one of these nights
One of these dreams
One of these lost and lonely dreams, now
We're gonna find one
Oh, one that really screams
I've been searchin' for the daughter
Of the devil himself
I've been searchin' for an angel in white
I've been waitin' for a woman
Who's a little of both
And I can feel her but she's nowhere in sight
Ooh, loneliness will blind you
In between the wrong and the right
Ooh, comin' right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you one of these nights
One of these nights
Ooh, in between the dark and the light
Comin' right behind you, swear I'm gonna find you
Get you, baby, one of these nights
One of these nights, ooh, one of these nights
I can feel you, I can feel you
One of these nights
Comin' right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you now
One of these nights
When it gets so dark, so dark and cold and lonely
One of these nights
One of these crazy, crazy, crazy nights
One of these nights
Swear I'IOm gonna find you
Comin' right behind you now
One of these nights, one of these nights...
Too Many Hands
She's one of a kind
Sometimes hard to find like a rainbow
Well, she's her sort of glory
And could tell you some stories
That we all know
And there's too many hands bein' laid on her
Too many eyes who never see
That it's draggin' her down
But you won't hear a sound
As she turns' round
Her beauty all a flight
That always seems to turn the tide at midnight
And for her there is no rest
We are doin' what is best for our future
One of these days
she may not be so good to you
One of these days
she might chane you to the ground
But her fire is still burnin'
And her heart is still yearnin' to be found
Too many hands bein' laid on her
Too many eyes who never see
That it's draggin' her down
Still you won't hear a sound
Till she turns 'round
Too many hands
Too many hands
Hollywood Waltz
Springtime, and the acacias are blooming
Southern California will see one more day
Dreaming, and business is boomin'
The birds are a-singin' as I drift away
She looks another year older
From too many lovers who used her in vain
Some nights, oh she looks like an angel
She's always willin' to hold you again
*
So give her this dance
She can't be forsaken
Learn how to love her with all of her faults
She gave more than she's taken
And I'll go down doin' the Hollywood
Springtime and lady is dreamin'
Her lovers just stand there
With nothin' to say
They got what they wanted
They're packin' and leavin'
To look for another to love the same day
(* Repeat)
The Hollywood Waltz (Repeat)

Take It To The Limit
All alone at the end of the evening
And the bright lights have faded to blue
I was thinkin' 'bout a woman who might love me
I never knew
You know I've always been a dreamer
(Spent my life runnin' 'round)
And it's so hard to change
(Can't seem to settle down)
But the dreams I've seen lately
Keep on turnin' out
And burnin' out
And turnin' out the same
*
So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time
You can spend all your time makin' money
You can spend all your love makin' time
If it all's gone to pieces tomorrow
Would you still be mine?
And when you're lookin' for your freedom
(Nobody seems to care)
And you can't find the door
(Can't find it anywhere)
When there's nothin' to believe in
Still you're coming back
You're runnin' back
You're comin' back for more
(* Repeat)
**
Take it to the limit, take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time
(** Repeat)
Visions
Freedom that you stirrin' in my soul
Visions that will never grow old
Sweet baby, I had some visions of you
If I can't have it all just a taste will do
Go ahead and live all your fantasies
(Don't you ever think about the other side)
Helps you get from where you are,
where you want to be
(You and me out to be takin' a ride)
Do the best you can and you'll make your mistakes
(If you don't like it you can say that you tried)
'Cause all I have to give is whatever it takes
Dance, angel, dance till you wear out your blues
(Your love, baby's gonna see me through)
Take another chance, you got nothin' to lose
(All I need's love you anyhow)
Oh you drive me wild when you do what you do
(Somethin' makes me want to take you down)
If I can't have it all, just a taste will do
Just a taste of you
After The Thrill Is Gone
Same dances in the same old shoes
Some habits that you just can't lose
There's no tellin' what a man might use,
After the thrill is gone
The flame rises but it soon decends
Empty pages and a frozen pen
You're not quite lovers and you're not quite friends
After the thrill is gone, oh
After the thrill is gone
What can you do when your dreams come true
And it's not quite like you planned
What have you done to be losing the one
You held it so tight in your hand
Well time passes and you must move on
Half the distance takes you twice as long
So you keep on singin' for the sake of a song
After the thrill is gone
You're afraid you might fall out of fashion
And you're feeling cold and small
Any kind of love without passion
That ain't no kind of lovin' at all, well
Same dances in the same old shoes
You get too careful with the steps you choose
you don't care about winning but you don't want to lose
After the thrill is gone (Repeat)
I Wish You Peace
I wish you peace when the cold winds blow
Warmed by the fire's glow
I wish you comfort in the the lonely time
Arms to hold you when you ache inside
I wish you hope when times are goin' bad
Kind words the times you're sad
I wish you shelter from the ragin' wind
Coolin' waters at the fever's end
*
I wish you peace when times are hard
A light to guide you through the dark
And when storms are high and your dreams are low
I wish you the strength to let love grow
I wish you the strength to let love grow
(* Repeat)
I wish you the strength to let love grow
I wish you the strength to let love grow
