Feeling Sad Tonight lyrics - Carole King

Feeling sad tonight

But everything's allright

And we'll find some other place to go

Feeling sad tonight

But everything's allright

Let's turn all our cares down low

Come on, let's go downtown

It's like a trip back to the past

Running down the bright night

Driving a little too fast

Oh, I'm counting on you

Sitting on a barstool

I'm a fool

Always feeling half-right and half-safe

Halfway dreaming of some safe place away from school

Oh, I'm counting on you

Silly sometimes

I'm a fool

Feeling sad tonight

But everything's allright

And we'll find some other place to go

Feeling sad tonight

But everything's allright

Let's turn all the lights and all our cares down low

There is a space between us

Which we cross

To touch each other softly

And so make up our loss

Some things take so long to learn

No matter how we try

Still we try and keep it open

And we get by

Feeling sad tonight

But everything's allright

And we'll find some other place to go

Feeling sad tonight

The First Day In August lyrics - Carole King

On the first day in August

I want to wake up by your side

After sleeping with you

On the last night in July

In the morning

We'll catch the sun rising

And we'll chase it from the mountains

To the bottom of the sea

When the day is over

And the night air comes to chill us

You'll build a fire

And we'll watch the flames dancing

You'll fall asleep

With your arm around my shoulder

And nothing will come between us

On the first night in August

The first day in August

Bitter With The Sweet lyrics - Carole King

Sometimes I'm tired and I wonder what's so all-fired important

About being someplace at some time

Oh, but I don't really mind

'Cause I could be on East Street, and I know that

You've got to take the bitter with the sweet

I guess it gets to everyone, you think you're not having any fun

And you wonder what you're doing playing the games you play

Hey, well, it's true what they say

If you want to feel complete, don't you know that

You've got to take the bitter with the sweet

A friend of mine once told me

And I know he knows all about feelin' down

He said everything good in life you've got to pay for

But feelin' good is what you're paving the way for

So don't let it get you down, my friend, though it seems the blues will never end

On this you can depend, they always do

And I can tell you that it's true, it's a feeling that can't be beat

And you've got to do it

You've got to take the bitter with the sweet

Goodbye Don't Mean I'm Gone lyrics - Carole King

Don't it seem like the time goes on

And here we are still carrying on

Reaching out for one another

Like a telephone call from an old friend or a brother

And you are there to share this song in the making

Goodbye don't mean I'm gone

I know how alone you are

When it's so hard to be so far

From the ones who mean the most to you

When you would so much rather have them close to you

I hope you know you haven't been forsaken

Goodbye don't mean I'm gone

I'll never be what you think you see in me

If I can help you deal with what you see as real

That makes me glad to have known you

Missing you the way I do

You know I'd like to see more of you

But it's all I can do to be a mother

(My baby's in one hand, I've a pen in the other)

You know my love is always there for the taking

And goodbye don't mean I'm gone

Stand Behind Me lyrics - Carole King

I was wanting someone to talk to

Needing to let myself out

Knowing beyond a doubt the past is behind me

There was nowhere but here to walk to

Letting the time go by

Trying to see if I could ever find me

It didn't seem to make much sense

Thinking about the dent I'd made in the world to date

Was I too late, you say

Should I create today

Or let it be

Now needing a hand to cling to

Lucky I was to find

Someone of similar mind to stand behind me

Not letting dazzlement blind me

Showing me where to find me

Willing to just be kind and stand behind me

Gotta Get Through Another Day lyrics - Carole King

It's a gray, gray gloomy day

A strange and moody blues day

Gotta get through, gotta get through another day

Corn yellow silk and golden sunlight I remember

As we walked together, you and I

Love like a sweet flaming glow inside

Now has been denied

And I've cried till I can't remember why

I gotta get through, gotta get through some way

Gotta get through, gotta get through another day

Will Tuesday be good news day

Or another paying dues day

It's a strange and moody blues day

Anyway

Some say that time brings a better understanding

Of the rhyme and reason to it all

Still the flame keeps burning through the lonely night

It's just not allright

And I wonder if I'll make it till you call

I gotta get through, gotta get through some way

It's a gray, gray, gloomy day

A strange and moody blues day

Gotta get through, gotta get through another day

I gotta get through another day

I Think I Can Hear You lyrics - Carole King

What must I do

How can I serve you

Is it true what I do is the way to be near you

I'm listening, though sometimes I can't hear you

Looking around fills me with wonder

At the way you can keep this old world running smoothly

Thinking of you always seems to soothe me

I know you're probably not a man or a woman

Or a time or a season

But I'm here, and life is dear

And I guess that's a good enough reason

To say

Just let me do

What you put me here to

Let me be what you want me to be

And I hope it'll cheer you

I'm listening, and I think I can hear you

Even when I thought I didn't believe

You believed in me

And everyone is a part of you

And anyone can know you

All they've got to do is be

I'm listening, and I think I can hear you

Ferguson Road lyrics - Carole King

I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road

Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am

Yes, I'm gonna wade in a cold, rocky stream

So I will be sure not to give a damn

No one ever loses anybody

But sometimes it's so hard to get along

I don't want to hang on to anybody

So before you say you're leaving, I'll be gone

I'm gonna head on up to old Ferguson Road

Find myself a spot where the sun shines through

I'll throw some old mattress in the back of my bus

And get a good head start on forgetting you

You know I've never known anybody

Who could ever make me feel this way

But no one gets to own anybody

You see, I have good reason when I say

I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road

Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am

Yes, I'm gonna wade in a cold, rocky stream

So I will be sure not to give a damn

Been To Canaan lyrics - Carole King

Green fields and rolling hills

Room enough to do what we will

Sweet dreams of yestertime

Are running through my mind

Of a place I left behind

Been so long, I can't remember when

I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again

Been so long, I'm living till then

'Cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until I go back again

Though I'm content with myself

Sometimes I long to be somewhere else

I try to do what I can

But with our day-to-day demands

We all need a promised land

And it's been so long, I can't remember when

I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again

Been so long, I'm living till then

'Cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until I go back again

Oh, I want to be there in the wintertime

With a fireplace burning to warm me

And you to hold me when it's stormy

Been so long, I can't remember when

I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again

Been so long, I'm living till then

'Cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until I go back again

Brother, Brother lyrics - Carole King

Oh, brother, brother, brother

I know you've been layin' back a long time

But I love you like no other

Oh, brother of mine

I've been watching everything you do

And I've been wishing only good for you

All you've got to do is just to want it to

And it's gonna come - it's gonna come to you

Oh, brother, brother, brother

I know you've been hangin' on a long time

But I love you like no other

Oh, brother of mine

You have always been so good to me

And though you didn't always talk to me

There wasn't much my lovin' eyes could not see

And I don't believe you need all your misery

Oh, brother, brother, brother

I know you've been hangin' on a long time

You know I love you like no other

Oh, brother, brother, brother

Talkin' about you, brother

It's Going To Take Some Time lyrics - Carole King

It's going to take some time this time

To get myself in shape

I really fell out of line this time

I really missed the gate

The birds on the telephone line (next time)

Are cryin' out to me (next time)

And I won't be so blind next time

And I'll find some harmony

But it's going to take some time this time

And I can't make demands

But like the young trees in the wintertime

I'll learn how to bend

After all the tears we've spent

How could we make amends

So it's one more round for experience

And I'm on the road again

And it's going to take some time this time

It's going to take some time this time

No matter what I've planned

And like the young trees in the wintertime

I'll learn how to bend

After all the tears we've spent

How could we make amends

So it's one more round for experience

And I'm on the road again

And it's going to take some time this time

Sweet Seasons lyrics - Carole King

Sometimes you win sometimes you lose

And sometimes the blues just get a hold of you

Just when you though you had made it

All around the block people will talk

But I want to give it all that I've got

I just don't want, I don't want to waste it

Talkin' 'bout sweet seasons on my mind

Sure does appeal to me

You know you we can get there easily

Just like a sailboat a-sailin' on the sea

[Instrumental Interlude]

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

And most times you choose between the two

Wonderin', wonderin' if you have made it

But I'll have some kids and make my plans

And I'll watch the seasons runnin' away

And I'll build me a life in the open

A life in the country

I'm Talkin' 'bout a sweet seasons on my mind

Sure does appeal to me

You know you we can get there easily

Just like a sailboat a-sailin' on the sea

Talkin' 'bout a sweet seasons

Talkin' 'bout a sweet, sweet, sweet seasons

Talkin' 'bout a sweeeeeet seasons

Some Kind Of Wonderful lyrics - Carole King

All you have to do is touch my hand

To show me you understand

And something happens to me

That's some kind of wonderful

Any time my little world is blue

I just have to look at you

And everything seems to be

Some kind of wonderful

I know I can't express

This feeling of tenderness

There's so much I want to say

But the right words just don't come my way

I just know when I'm in your embrace

This world is a happy place

And something happens to me

That's some kind of wonderful

I know I can't express

This feeling of tenderness

There's so much I want to say

But the right words just don't come my way

I just know when I'm in your embrace

This world is a happy place

And something happens to me

That's some kind of wonderful

Some kind of wonderful

Some kind of wonderful

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful

Some kind of wonderful

Some kind of wonderful

Surely lyrics Carole King

Surely you know how I stand on the question of my loving you

Haven't I proved it in so many ways

Surely you can tell by the way I kiss your lips that I want you

More surely than my words can say

I see you stand and accuse me of no longer wanting you

Misunderstanding what others have seen

Surely you won't let idle people with nothing else to rely on

Tear down all our hopes and our dreams

Tell me, does the rain fall (surely, surely)

And does the summer always follow spring

How does a turtle go (slowly, surely)

That's how my love grows, surely, surely, surely

Darling, if your head misleads you

Just listen to your heart - it knows I need you

Just as surely as the sun is gonna rise

Just as surely as the birds are gonna sing

Just as surely as everything is part of everything

I'm a part of you

Surely you know that I'm a part of you

And surely you know that I love you

I love you

Carry Your Load lyrics - Carole King

Meet me on the highway

Meet me on the road

As long as you've got to travel

Don't you want someone to help you carry your load

First time out is a heady feeling

White clouds under my feet

Sailin' along like a south wind

Over fields of whispering wheat

Thinkin' alone on a Thursday morning

Of peace and love and war

I still don't have any answer

But I don't get high anymore

Meet me on the highway

Meet me on the road

As long as you've got to travel

Don't you want someone to help you carry your load

Some folks are forever movin'

Some folks gotta be still

Don't let it get you - there's joy in either

So do what you will

Everyone knows it's the same old feeling

Worlds below the sea

Just you and me and easy

Is where I want to be

Meet me on the highway

Meet me on the road

As long as you've got to travel

Don't you want someone to help you carry your load

Music lyrics - Carole King

Music is playing inside my head

Over and over and over again

My friend, there's no end to the music

Ah, summer is over

But the music keeps playing

And won't let the cold get me down

Pictures are forming inside my brain

Soon with the colors they'll rain together and grow

Then don't you know, don't you know there'll be music

Ah, it's not always easy

But the music keeps playing

And won't let the world get me down

Music is playing inside my head

Song Of Long Ago lyrics - Carole King

Whispering wind came, uninvited

Looking for somewhere else to go

Here is a lamp I've left unlighted

Aren't you someone I should know

Memory's flame is soon ignited

Lighting my lamp with amber glow

Quietly, friends are reunited

Singing a song of long ago, la, la, la

Cry, cry for someone

Who just can't be happy

And be glad you can feel enough to cry

Younger than always, time descended

Bringing me brand new seeds to sow

Now that they've been a long time planted

What must I do to help them grow

If it had been as I intended

I wouldn't have the peace I know

Loving the people I've befriended

And singing a song of long ago, la, la, la

As it began, so I will end it

Singing a song of long ago

Loving the people I've befriended

And singing a song of long, long, long ago

Brighter lyrics - Carole King

We've been knowing each other

For many a year, it's true

And I can't think of anyone else

Can make me feel as good as you

Yeah, you make my day

A little bit brighter in every way

I'm so glad to have you

In this old troubled time

When true love and understanding, child

Are so hard to find

Yes, you make my way

A little bit lighter every day

Some people live in darkness

Their whole life through

I just know that I'd have been one of them

If it hadn't been for you

Now, sometimes I feel afraid

As we all tend to do

But I think of the loving good times we've had

And I know we're gonna make it through

'Cause you make my day

A little bit brighter in every way

Growing Away From Me lyrics - Carole King

You've been my life to me

My very soul and my heart

But lately something's come over you

And it's tearing me apart

Darlin', I feel you growing away from me

More and more each day

Whatever you want me to be, I'll be

If it keeps you from growing away from me

Even though you say you love me

The feeling's no longer there

I know there's somebody else

And it's more than I can bear

Darlin', I feel you growing away from me

More and more each day

Whatever you want me to be, I'll be

If it keeps you from growing away from me

Believe me, I would let you go if I could

But I don't know if it's worse being lonely

Than having you here in body only

It's no use pretending

When the love you used to feel is gone

Yet even though I'm losing you

I can't help trying to hold on

Darlin', I feel you growing away from me

More and more and more each day

Whatever you want me to be, I'll be

If it keeps you from growing away from me

I feel you growing away from me

Too Much Rain lyrics - Carole King

If anyone asks you how I am

Just say I'm doing fine

If you will do that for me

I'll do the same for you sometime

And if anyone asks you where I've gone

Just say I'm down the line

I don't want my friends to see me like this

Maybe some other time

Too much rain fallin'

Too much rain fallin'

There's just been too much rain fallin' down on me

One day I'm gonna understand

The way that my heart works

And then I'm gonna work it out

So that I won't get hurt

But if anyone asks you where I've gone

Oh, don't say where I am

Just say you saw me and I'm doin' fine

'Cause I'm doin' the best I can

Too much rain fallin'

Too much rain fallin'

There's just been too much rain fallin' down on me

Back To California - Carole King

I've been feelin' down in Atlanta

Immobile in Alabam

I'd rather be in traction

Than to be here where I am

Oh, you Georgia red clay

And green Virginia pines

I've got to make it home somehow

Before I lose my mind

So won't you carry me back to California

I've been on the road too long

Take me to the West Coast, daddy

And let me be where I belong

Hey now, Philly, you street city

Been down by the railroad track

I know you can be a sweet city

But I won't soon be back

Haystack towns and smokestack cities

Are nothin' I want to see

My own house on high ground

Is the only place I want to be

So won't you carry me back to California

I've been on the road too long

Take me to the West Coast, daddy

And let me be where I belong

I Feel The Earth Move lyrics - Carole King

I feel the earth move under my feet

I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down

I feel my heart start to trembling

Whenever you're around

Ooh, baby, when I see your face

Mellow as the month of May

Oh, darling, I can't stand it

When you look at me that way

I feel the earth move under my feet

I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down

I feel my heart start to trembling

Whenever you're around

Oh, darling, when you're near me

And you tenderly call my name

I know that my emotions

Are something I just can't tame

I've just got to have you, baby

I feel the earth move under my feet

I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down

I feel the earth move under my feet

I feel the sky tumbling down

I just lose control

Down to my very soul

I get a hot and cold all over

I feel the earth move under my feet

I feel the sky tumbling down,

Tumbling down, tumbling down...

So Far Away lyrics - Carole King

So far away

Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore

It would be so fine to see your face at my door

Doesn't help to know you're just time away

Long ago I reached for you and there you stood

Holding you again could only do me good

Oh, how I wish I could

But you're so far away

One more song about moving along the highway

Can't say much of anything that's new

If I could only work this life out my way

I'd rather spend it being close to you

But you're so far away

Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore

It would be so fine to see your face at my door

Doesn't help to know you're so far away

Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely

Nothing else to do but close my mind

I sure hope the road don't come to own me

There's so many dreams I've yet to find

But you're so far away

Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore

It would be so fine to see your face at my door

Doesn't help to know you're so far away

It's Too Late lyrics - Carole King

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time

There's something wrong here, there can be no denying

One of us is changing, or maybe we've stopped trying

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late

Though we really did try to make it

Something inside has died and I can't hide

And I just can't fake it

It used to be so easy living here with you

You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do

Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late

Though we really did try to make it

Something inside has died and I can't hide

And I just can't fake it

There'll be good times again for me and you

But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too

Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you

But it's too late, baby, it's too late

Though we really did try to make it

Something inside has died and I can't hide

Home Again lyrics - Carole King

Sometimes I wonder if I'm ever gonna make it home again

It's so far and out of sight

I really need someone to talk to, and nobody else

Knows how to comfort me tonight

Snow is cold, rain is wet

Chills my soul right to the marrow

I won't be happy till I see you alone again

Till I'm home again and feeling right

Snow is cold, rain is wet

Chills my soul right to the marrow

I won't be happy till I see you alone again

Till I'm home again and feeling right

Till I'm home again and feeling right

I wanna be home again and feeling right

Beautiful lyrics - Carole King

You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face

And show the world all the love in your heart

Then people gonna treat you better

You're gonna find, yes, you will

That you're beautiful as you feel

Waiting at the station with a workday wind a-blowing

I've got nothing to do but watch the passers-by

Mirrored in their faces I see frustration growing

And they don't see it showing, why do I?

You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face

And show the world all the love in your heart

Then people gonna treat you better

You're gonna find, yes, you will

That you're beautiful as you feel

I have often asked myself the reason for sadness

In a world where tears are just a lullaby

If there's any answer, maybe love can end the madness

Maybe not, oh, but we can only try

You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face

And show the world all the love in your heart

Then people gonna treat you better

You're gonna find, yes, you will

That you're beautiful as you feel

Way Over Yonder lyrics - Carole King

Way over yonder is a place that I know

Where I can see shelter from hunger and cold

And the sweet-tastin' good life is so easily found

Way over yonder, that's where I'm bound

I know when I get there, the first thing I'll see

Is the sun shining golden, shining right down on me

Then trouble's gonna lose me, worry leave me behind

And I'll stand up proudly in a true peace of mind

Way over yonder is a place I have seen

It's a garden of wisdom from some long ago dream

Maybe tomorrow I'll find my way

To the land where the honey runs in rivers each day

And the sweet-tastin' good life is so easily found

Way over yonder, that's where I'm bound

Way over yonder, that's where I'm bound

You've Got A Friend lyrics - Carole King

When you're down in troubles

And you need some love and care

And nothing, nothing is going right

Close your eyes and think of me

And soon i will be there

To brighten up even your darkest night

You just call out my name

And you know wherever I am

I'll come running to see you again

Winter, spring, summer or fall

All you got to do is call

And I'll be there

Yes I will

You've got a friend

If the sky above you

Grows dark and full of clouds

And that old north wind begins to blow

Keep your head together

And call my name out loud

Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door

You just call out my name

And you know wherever I am

I'll come running to see you again

Winter, spring, summer or fall

All you have to do is call

And I'll be there

Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend

When people can be so cold

They'll hurt you and desert you

And take your soul if you let them

Oh, but don't you let them

You just call out my name

And you know wherever I am

I'll come running to see you again

Winter, spring, summer or fall

All you have to do is call

And I'll be there

You've got a friend
