I know the time cannot erase the days Love is past and I've gone away From now on I'll make it very clear 'Cause I don't wanna write Another love song of the year. It's a lonely song and not too clear But to me it's very dear I guess this song will only be My feelings way down an endless sea of love To me this has got to be the love song of the year. I know the time cannot erase the days Love is past and I've gone away From now on I'll make it very clear 'Cause I don't wanna write Another love song of the year. I used to laugh, I used to cry I used to let these feelings pass me by From now on I'll make it very clear 'Cause I don't wanna write Another love song of the year. Recorded: 1973/12/12, first released on Promised Land, January 1975 Loving Arms (Words & music: Tom Jans) If you could see me now The one who said that he'd rather roam The one who said he'd rather be alone If you could only see me now. If I could hold you now, just for a moment If I could really make you mine And just for a while turn back the hands of time If I could only hold you now. I've been too long in the wind Too long in the rain Takin' any comfort that I can Looking back and longing For the freedom of my chains And lying in your loving arms again. If you could hear me now Singing somewhere in the lonely night Dreaming of the arms that held me tight If you could only hear me now. I've been too long in the wind Too long in the rain Takin' any comfort that I can Looking back and longing For the freedom of my chains And lying in your loving arms again I can almost feel your loving arms again. Recorded: 1973/12/13, first released on Good Times, March 1974 Loving You (Words & music: Jerry Leiber / Mike Stoller) I will spend my whole life through Loving you, just loving you Winter, summer, spring-time too Loving you, loving you Makes no difference where I go Or what I do You know that I'll always be Loving you, just you. And if I'm seen with someone new Don't be blue, don't you be blue I'll be faithful, I'll be true Always true, true to you There is only one for me And you know who You know that I'll always be Loving you.
