Letra
I'll tell you a story 'bout a man that i loved He lives in the sky In the clouds above He knows every river Every mountain and stream He's a gentleman, i tell you, That lives in my dream If you don' t believe What i say is true Maybe someday he will happen to you It's like he's always watching over me I do believe in magic When it's plain to see If you don't believe What i say is true Maybe someday he will happen to you Softly he whispers into my ear The dream is over, but i don't want to hear No, no, no, no Softly he whispers into my ear The dream is over, but i don't want to hear So, take me, i' m lonely Take me in your dreams Please don't leave me waiting here As long as it seems If you don't believe What i say is true Maybe, baby, someday he will happen to you Softly he whispers into my ear The dream is over, but i don't want to hear But i don't want to hear...i don't want to hear I don't wanna...i don't want to hear... - I Don't Break Easily3:51

Letra
Honey, honey, can I put on your clothes? Because they feel so good, And they feel like you. Oh, won't you please let me? Because they get to me, They touch me and then move me. I get to thinking I won't be needin' Anything more to keep me warm. I feel the feeling of you Al1 the way through. No other feeling will ever do. Honey, honey, Can I put on your clothes? Because they feel so good, And they feel like you. They're just like old friends When we're together. They comfort me and soothe me. They're not brand new. They're a little worn through, But they're comfy and roomy. They do something to me, And when I stay at home, And you're far away, I won' t be lonely all through the day. Honey, honey, Can I put on your clothes? Because they feel so good, And they feel like you. I feel the feeling of you All the day through. No other feeling will ever do. Honey, honey, Can I put on your clothes? Because they feel so good, And they feel like you, Honey, honey, honey, hum - One More Night3:08

Letra
Deep in the night, I remember There I am reaching for you Longing to turn to you That's all I want oh so much Deep in the night I need you To touch me Deep in the night, I wait for daylight Daytimes I always get through But when the sun goes down That's when I feel I feel oh so alone Deep in the night I need you To hold me Read a book and I think about you Put it down and I think about you I make some coffee and I think about you Wash up the cup and I think about you Wind the clock and I think about you Turn on the light and I think about you When I punch the pillow and I think about you Deep in the night I feel lonely Why didn't I try someone new? It didn't work out I know But I know but I know Because I try I try Deep in the night I need you beside me Deep deep in the night - Songbird3:44
