Some sleepless night
If you should find yourself alone
Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to
When you need someone to turn to
Let me be the one

To set things right
When this old world's turned upside down
Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to
When you need someone to turn to
Let me be the one

For love and understanding
To find a quiet place
For silent understanding
A loving touch
Come to me

When things go wrong
And there's no love to light the way
Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to
When you need someone to turn to
Let me be the one

Let's ride aboard a windy day
We can hide behind the clouds
And disappear
Sunshine can be so near
It's a crime to throw your time away When the world is ours
And there's so much to see
If you will go with me

We'll try to find a place that is right
For us to laugh our time away
Try to find a place out of sight
For us to settle down and stay with love

Would you like to run away
Where the grass is tall
And summer's in the air
Just let me take you there
We can try to find a hideaway
Where the rain is warm
And happiness is free
If you will go with me

We'll try to find a place that is right
For us to laugh our time away
Try to find a place out of sight
For us to settle down and stay with love

Are you with me
We can run for the sun
We'll try to find a place that is right
For us to laugh our time away
Try to find a place out of sight
For us to settle down and stay

Try to find a place that is right
For us to laugh our time away
Try to find a place out of sight
For us to settle down and stay

(FROM THE 20TH CENTURY FOX FILM "PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE")

Life at last salutations from the other side
I can see that you're the devil's pride
Do you realize that all of you donated something horrible you hated that is part of you
I'm your nightmares comin' true I am your crime

Life at last sit and listen while the fun begins
Hearts are broken and the bad guys win
Sit and listen all the cutting up is easy
And this isn't for the queasy or the weak of heart
You had better start for home while there's still time

I'm the evil that you created gettin' horny and damned frustrated
Bored stiff and I want me a woman now

I'm the evil that you created gettin' horny and damned frustrated
Each of you must stop and try me all of you might satisfy me

Don't waste time walking if your needed right away
Don't waste talking if your don't have nothing to say
Keep your eyes on the open road
You're a fool if you live in the past
You're better off to forget the whole damn thing
Times been worse
Friends all gone
Don't get crazy
Life goes on
Times been worse
Friends all gone
Don't get crazy
Life goes on

Don't waste time fighting when you know that fighting's wrong
Don't waste time writing if you're putting lies in your song
Life's a matter of ups and downs
Take the good right along with the bad
The nights will come when it's not that easy to sing
Times been worse
Friends all gone
Don't get crazy
Life goes on
Times been worse
Friends all gone
Don't get crazy
Life goes on

Look again to the brighter side
For the things that you've wanted to do
When morning comes with the gift of a brand new day
And if you're smart forget the stars
The rest is up to you
The wheel can turn and it could be turning your way
Times been worse
Friends all gone
Don't get crazy
Life goes on
Times been worse
Friends all gone
Don't get crazy
Life goes on

Keep your eyes on the open road
Your a fool if you live in the past
You're better off to forget the whole damn thing
Times been worse
Friends all gone
Don't get crazy
Life goes on
Times been worse
Friends all gone
Don't get crazy
Life goes on

On the times that I'm unhappy
With the kind of life that I lead
When my voice amounts to nothing
But another mouth to feed
When the situation's hopeless
And the whole world's let me down
When I'm sinking fast
And thinking
I'm gonna drown

Your love's like a lifeboat
Pickin' me up from a stormy sea
Your love's like a lifeboat
Always on time
Always room for me
You're good for me
You're my life
You are the wind in my sales
You are the truth to my tales
You're good for me

On the rainy side or my life
When the road is rocky and rough
When I give my best and then some
And I'm told it's not enough
When my spirit's almost broken
And I've lost the will to bend
When I'm long on worry
Short on money and friend

Your love's like a lifeboat
Pickin' me up from a stormy sea
Your love's like a lifeboat
Always on time
Always room for me
You're good for me
You're my life
You are the wind in my sails
You are the truth in my tales
You're good for me

Link To A Recording Of This Song On A Paul Williams Album

Little girl they said you'd end up lost
But little girls don't listen very well
And so you set out on your own
And wound up all alone
In San Francisco
San Francisco felt like home
Just like home
It's not the same with everybody gone
And now your mind is filled with doubt
The in crowds all moved out

But you loved those laughing days
And summer sun
When day old strangers you called friend
And swore those summer days would never end

But little girl your eyes are looking old
And nothing seems to matter any more
As if the world has passed you by
You're just too tired to cry
Little girl you always meant so well
But never found the best that you deserved
When you were always first to share
It isn't really fair

But how you loved the laughing days
And summer sun
When day old strangers you called friend
And swore those summer days would never end
But little girl your eyes are looking old
And nothing seems to matter any more
No one cares about the cost
Another little girl has wound up lost

Lone star, on your roller coaster ride
How much longer can you keep it all inside
Are you happy under cover
Would you like to take a lover

Lone star with your come and love me look
Every gesture's like a chapter in a book
You convince us when you say it
You don't need to sing or play it

When you ride the range
Of emotions to the top of the hill
Surreal explosions
Made of hot breath and chills
Staying home might be a welcome change
This could be the start of something strange

Lone star
Are you coming out tonight
Come and charm us with your laughter and your light
Let our sweet affection feed you
Did I mention that we need you

Lone star as you rise above us all
Who could tell that you're afraid
That you might fall
With your hands not even shaking
We applaud the chance you're taking

When you ride the range
Of emotions to the top of the hill
Surreal explosions
Made of hot breath and chills
Staying home might be a welcome change
This could be the start of something strange

Lone star
Are you coming out tonight
Come and charm us with your laughter and your light Let our sweet affection feed you
Did I mention that we need you

Lone star, lone star, lone star, lone star, lone star

Link To Paul's Recording Of This Song

Loneliness
Takes the romance out of falling stars
Fills the wishing wells and fills the bars
Run and hide the scars of loneliness

Loneliness
Makes the winter's night seem twice as long
Makes the summer sunlight much too strong
Nothin's really wrong
It's only loneliness

So stay awhile
We both have stories that are hungry to be told
Your eyes are warm but I can feel your hands are cold
Still they're nice to hold
It only takes a simple yes
The time we spend leaves that much less for

Loneliness<
Like a love song or an old cliche
Has its hideouts but it's never far away
Look around you've found
It's only loneliness

So stay awhile
We've worn the night away and now it's almost done
If you could stay a bit of breakfast might be fun
It's too much work for one
And though it's just a simple guess
We're stronger now we've made the best of

Loneliness
Waits in silence while the shadows grow
Waits and wonders if it's finally time to go
The yes in our hello said no to
Loneliness

My time is your Time
The song begins
The move starts
The sweet life the lovers
And what about the lonely hearts?

Lonely hearts
Tired eyes
Seldom wins, always tries
When you don't belong
Always say things wrong
When you've looked so long
And wound up lost again

Lonely hearts
Still believe
Those who give, should receive
Every loving glance
Seems like one more chance
And a New Year's dance
Can break an April fools lonely heart

Through your angel's face
And your pure sweet grace
Found a resting place
And not a home in my lonely heart

Winter worries, summer sadness
No one likes to say goodbye
Life alone can lead to madness
I believe it's wrong to try

Lonely hearts
Try again
Lonely now, you were lonely then
Rut if time is kind
And if love's still blind
Each of U5 will find
A welcome home for our lonely hearts

Link To Paul's Recording Of This Song

Well I walked all around this crowded planet
But I walked all alone
Tho' the places changed the faces stayed the same
Spendin' my money, makin' up funny stories
Like ya' tell

In a noisy bar where no one knows your name
Runnin' out of places still worth runnin' to
Takin' pictures no one's home to see
Makin' deals with small town tourist
Traveling alone
I'll take one of you to Rome
If you'll take one of me

And just when I'm givin' up lookin' for love
Look what I found, oh look what I found
Just when I'm givin' up lookin' for love
Look what I found, oh look what I found

Well I know how it feels to love somebody
When they don't feel the same
Sure it breaks your heart and you fall apart inside
Lovers behind you laughing behind you
Ev'rywhere you go
And the hurt you feel is just too big to hide

Couples only seating at the dinner show
Sorry that you stood so long in line
Nothin' really matters
When the one who cared has gone
Some of us have just one chance
And I thought I'd use mine

Link To Paul's Recordings Of This Song

From too much talk to silent touches
Sweet touches
We turned our hearts to love then tried it
First time romance
There in the quiet
Love learn to dance

We loved, we slept, we left the light on
The night's gone
And mornin' finds us caught in life's
Most sensible trance
Turn up the quiet
Love wants to dance

Old souls find new life
In hearts that are listenin' like ours
And old dreams find young wings
In silence
In silence

From to much talk to lovin' touches
Love touches
When pure emotion takes the moment
We take the chance
Turn up the quiet
Love wants to dance
Love wants to dance
