Country Road lyrics - Carole King (feat. James Taylor)

Take to the highway, won't you lend me your name?

Your way and my way seem to be one and the same.

Mamma don't understand it, she wants to know where I've been.

I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool to want to pass that way again,

But I could feel it on a country road.

Sail on home to Jesus, won't you good girls and boys.

I'm all in pieces, you can have your own choice.

But I can hear a heavenly band full of angels and they're coming to set me free.

I don't know nothing 'bout the why or when but I can tell that it's bound to be,

Because I could feel it, child, yeah, on a country road.

I guess my feet know where they want me to go walking on a country road.

Take to the highway, won't you lend me your name?

Your way and my way seem to be one and the same.

Mamma don't understand it, she wants to know where I've been.

I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool to want to pass that way again,

But I could feel it on a country road.

Walk on down, walk on down, walk on down, walk on down, walk on down a country road.

Na na na na na na na na na na na, country road, yeah, walking on a country road...

Fire And Rain lyrics - Carole King (feat. James Taylor)

Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone.

Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you.

I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song,

I just can't remember who to send it to.

I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.

I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you again.

Won't you look down upon me, Jesus, You've got to help me make a stand.

You've just got to see me through another day.

My body's aching and my time is at hand and I won't make it any other way.

Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.

I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you again.

Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun.

Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around.

Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come.

Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground.

Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.

I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend,

But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again, now.

Thought I'd see you one more time again.

There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now.

Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain, now.

Sweet Baby James lyrics - Carole King (feat. James Taylor)

There is a young cowboy, he lives on the range. His horse and his cattle are his only companions.

He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons, waiting for summer, his pastures to change.

And as the moon rises he sits by his fire, thinking about women and glasses of beer.

And closing his eyes as the doggies retire, he sings out a song which is soft but it's clear

As if maybe someone could hear...

Goodnight you moon light ladies, rock-a-bye sweet baby James.

Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose, won't you let me go down in my dreams?

And rock-a-bye sweet baby James.

Now the first of December was covered with snow

And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston.

Though the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frosting,

With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go.

There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway,

A song that they sing when they take to the sea,

A song that they sing of their home in the sky, maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep,

But singing works just fine for me.

So, goodnight you moon light ladies, rock-a-bye sweet baby James.

Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose, won't you let me go down in my dreams?

And rock-a-bye sweet baby James.

You've Got A Friend lyrics - Carole King

(Live at the Troubadour)

When you're down and troubled

And you need some love and care

And nothing, oh, 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

It's Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall

All you got to do is call

And I'll be there, yeah

Yes I'll be there

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, your door, 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 got to do is call

And I'll be there

Yes I will

Hey, now

Now 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, now, don't you let them

You just call out my name

And you know wherever I am

I'll come running

Just as fast I can to see you again

See you again

Oh, yes

Don't [?]

Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall

All you got to do is call

And I'll be there, yes I'll be there

You've got a friend

You've got a something friend

Ain't it good to know

You've got a friend

[?]

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you, James

Ain't it good to know

Ain't it good to know

Ain't it good to know

Ain't it good to know

Ain't it good to know

Ain't it good to know

Ain't it good to know

Yeah, yeah, yeah

You've got a friend

[?]

You Can Close Your Eyes lyrics - Carole King (feat. James Taylor)

Well the sun is surely sinking down, but the moon is slowly rising.

So this old world must still be spinning round and I still love you.

So close your eyes, you can close your eyes, it's all right.

I don't know no love songs and I can't sing the blues anymore.

But I can sing this song and you can sing this song when I'm gone.

It won't be long before another day, we gonna have a good time.

And no one's gonna take that time away. You can stay as long as you like.

So close your eyes, you can close your eyes, it's all right.

I don't know no love songs and I can't sing the blues anymore.

But I can sing this song and you can sing this song when I'm gone.

I'm Into Something Good lyrics - Carole King

Woke up this mornin' feelin' fine

There's somethin' special on my mind

Last night I met a new girl in the neighbourhood, whoa yeah

Somethin' tells me I'm into something good

(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')

She's the kind of girl who's not too shy

And I can tell I'm her kind of guy

She danced close to me like I hoped she would

(She danced with me like I hoped she would)

Somethin' tells me I'm into something good

(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')

We only danced for a minute or two

But then she stuck close to me the whole night through

Can I be fallin' in love

She's everything I've been dreamin' of

She's everything I've been dreamin' of

I walked her home and she held my hand

I knew it couldn't be just a one-night stand

So I asked to see her next week and she told me I could

(I asked to see her and she told me I could)

Somethin' tells me I'm into something good

(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')

Somethin' tells me I'm into something good

(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')

To something good, oh yeah, something good

(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')

To something good, something good, something good

Welcome To My Living Room lyrics - Carole King

Welcome to my living room

It's not a womb, it's not a tomb

Not a June bride or a December groom

Tonight, here in Hyannis, we'll be playing at a reasonable volume

Here in my living room

I'm gonna play some songs for you

There are so many I'd like to do

If I don't get to them all, I hope you'll forgive me

'Cause I'm 62, and there's so many I'd like to do, old and new

But I'll try to do all I can in the time they give me

Let's set aside all the fussing and fighting

And make this night about songwriting

Sing and play some favorite tunes

Welcome to my living room

Take Good Care Of My Baby lyrics - Carole King

My tears are fallin' 'cause you've taken her away

And though it really hurts me so

There's something that I've gotta say

Take good care of my ba-a-a-by

Please don't ever make her blu-u-u-ue

Just tell her that you love her

Make sure you're thinking of her

In everything you say and do-o-o-o

Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by

Now don't you ever make her cry-y-y-y

Just let your love surround her

Paint a rainbow all around her

Don't let her see a cloudy sky

Once upon a time that little girl was mine

If I'd been true, I know she'd never be with you

So, take good care of my ba-a-a-by

Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e

And if you should discover

That you don't really love her

Just send my baby back home to me

Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by

Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e

And if you should discover

That you don't really love her

Just send my baby back home to me

Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by

Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by

[Fade]

Just, take good care of my ba-a-a-by

It Might As Well Rain Until September lyrics - Carole King

What shall I write?

What can I say?

How can I tell you how much I miss you?

The weather here has been as nice as it can be

Althought it doesn't really matter much to me

For all the fun I'll have while you're so far away

It might as well rain until September

I don't need sunny skies for thing I like to do

'Cause I stay home the whole day long and think of you

As far as I'm concerned each day's a rainy day

So It might as well rain until September

My friends look forward to their picnics on the beach

Yes everybody loves the summertime

But you know darling while your arms are out of reach

The summer isn't any friend of mine

It doesn't matter whethee skies are grey or blue

It's raining in my heart 'cause I can't be with you

I'm only living for the day you're home to stay

So It might as well rain until September

September, September, oh

It might as well rain until September

Go Away Little Girl lyrics - Carole King

Go away, little girl. Go away, little girl.

I'm not supposed to be alone with you.

I know that your lips are sweet,

But our lips must never meet.

I belong to someone else, and I must be true.

Oh, go away, little girl. Go away, little girl.

It's hurtin' me more each minute that you delay.

When you are near me like this,

You're much too hard to resist.

So, go away, little girl, before I beg you to stay."

Go away.

Please don't stay.

It'll never work out.

When you are near me like this,

You're much too hard to resist.

So, go away, little girl.

Call it a day, little girl.

Oh, please, go away, little girl,

Before I beg you to stay.

Go away.

Loving You Forever lyrics - Carole King

I was just leaving - the night was winding down

You touched my shoulder and I turned around

Here we are - the hardest part is done

And all that's left is loving you forever

My heart stopped beating - I couldn't let it show

You were as unexpected as roses in the snow

Just like that I knew you were the one

Now all that's left is loving you forever

In this world we're lucky if we find

A spark that sparks one time

Like when we are together

And in that moment, it happened so fast

My prayers were answered - I found love at last

Take my hand - our life has begun

And all that's left is loving you forever

Here we are - the hardest part is done

And all that's left is loving you forever

Pleasant Valley Sunday lyrics - Carole King

The local rock group down the street

Is trying hard to learn their song

Serenade the weekend squire

Who just came out to mow his lawn

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday

Charcoal burning everywhere

Rows of houses that are all the same

And no one seems to care

See Mrs. Gray

She's proud today

Because her roses are in bloom

Mr. Green

He's so serene

He's got a TV in every room

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday

Here in status symbol land

Mothers complain about how hard life is

And the kids just don't understand

Creature comfort goals

They only numb my soul and make it hard for me to see

My thoughts all seem to stray to places far away

I need a change of scenery

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday

Charcoal burning everywhere

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday

Here in status symbol land

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday

Love Makes The World lyrics - Carole King

There was trouble in my mind tonight

Somethin' inside didn't feel quite right

Then I saw your face in the moonlight

And I was right beside U

Don't need words that we useta use

It goes deeper than the words we choose

Can't lose - I wanna spread the news

U got love inside U

Some days it's hard to know what you're feelin'

I've been down that road before

I can't stop believing

Love makes the world go 'round

As long as you're a part of me

Nothin's gonna take me down, oh

Yeah

Last winter when the snowfall hit

Cold city - it was hard to commit

You were out there lookin' for the perfect fit

And I was right beside U

Nothin' real comes overnight

U weren't sure if it felt right

But sometimes a love can move your life

If U let it guide U

Baby, U got to take love where you can find it

Just walk right through that door

I can't stop believing

Love makes the world go 'round

As long as I'm a part of U

Nothin's gonna take U down, oh

You Can Do Anything lyrics - Carole King

The sun is shining but not on me

Another lonely day

What's the use in making plans

Nothing's gonna go my way

But there's a voice down deep inside me

Telling me what to say

Don't you know that you can do anything

You can take anything and make it your own

Don't you know that you can do anything

And you don't have to do it alone

Searching for the girl I was when I was sure and strong

When everything was easier

And I could do no wrong

If I could only believe in myself

I know I could find a way

Don't you know that you can do anything

You can take anything and make it your own

Don't you know that you can do anything

And you don't have to do it alone

Sorry tears in my eyes

Got me down in confusion and doubt

Suddenly I realize

I'm no different than anyone working it out

We're all working it out

Don't you know that you can do anything

You can take anything and make it your own

Don't you know that you can do anything

And you don't have to do it alone

The Reason lyrics - Carole King

I figured it out

I was high and low and everything in between

I was wicked and wild, baby, you know what I mean

Till there was you, yeah, you

Something went wrong

I made a deal with the devil for an empty I.O.U.

Been to hell and back, but an angel was looking through

It was you, yeah, you

It's all because of you

You are the reason

You are the reason I wake up every day

And sleep through the night

You are the reason, the reason

In the middle of the night

I'm going down 'cause I adore you

I want to floor you

I'm giving it up

No more running around spinning my wheel

You came out of my dream and made it real

I know what I feel

It's you

It's all because of you

You are the reason

You are the reason I wake up every day

And sleep through the night

You are the reason, the reason

In the middle of the night

I'm going down because I want you

I want to touch you

I want to floor you

You are the reason, baby

You are the reason

You are the reason I wake up every day

And sleep through the night

You are the reason, the reason

I Wasn't Gonna Fall In Love lyrics - Carole King

When I met you, I let you know

I didn't want to go the way I'd gone before

That door was closed - I was just looking for fun

And you were the right one, you got it

So we could just play around

We wouldn't get serious or mysterious

When it's done it would just be done

I wasn't gonna fall in love, no, I wasn't gonna fall

I wasn't gonna fall in love, till I fell in love with you

Well, you got down, saw through me

You read me like a book

You took me over and over again

And you turned my head around

I found I didn't know what I thought I knew

I was caught up in you so fast

Emotional, love potion-al

I want to make every moment last

I wasn't gonna fall in love, no, I wasn't gonna fall

I wasn't gonna fall in love, till I fell in love with you

Never know what's gonna, never know what's gonna come along

To change your mind, change your way

Play the game you said you'd never play

Never thought that we, never thought you and I would be together

Well I thought I could, but I guess you can't

You can't, you can't ever

Never say never

I wasn't gonna fall in love, no, I wasn't gonna fall

I wasn't gonna fall in love, till I fell in love with you

I Don't Know lyrics - Carole King

I don't know if it's hot in Texas

And I don't know if it's cold in Hell

I don't know if God is watching

I just know that I love you

People say, bad man's gonna getcha

Trade my shoes for a simple soul

Throw away your burnt sienna

'Cause I just know that I love you

Sticks and stones get gone in a hurry

Jack say, Jill, you never looked so fine

Dancing on Boardwalk, what me worry

As long as I know you're mine, all mine all mine, all mine

You're mine

I don't know, I don't know

I don't know, I don't know

And if everybody had someone to care about

What a world, what a world

What a wonderful, wonderful world this would be

I don't care who's in the World Series

Or who does what in their own bedroom

News is blues and it doesn't really matter

I just know that, just know that I love you

I don't know, I don't know

I don't know, I don't know

I don't know, I don't know

I don't know, I don't know

I just know that I love you

It Could Have Been Anyone lyrics - Carole King

Do you know that you know me like nobody else

All of my secrets and lies

Do you know that you made me believe in myself

Made me believe I could fly

All the things that you say

That I wait for each day

You're almost too good to be true

It could have been anyone, oh, anyone

A stranger out of the blue

It could have been anyone, oh, anyone

That I gave my heart up to

But it was you

Well you just never know when the moment will come

When love is about to begin

Something about someone reaching out

And letting someone in

And I'm glad I was there

When out of thin air

We both had nothing to do

It could have been anyone, oh, anyone

A stranger out of the blue

It could have been anyone, oh, anyone

That I gave my heart up to

One day we'll find out

Why you were sent to me

Now we're together

It must be the way it was meant to be

It could have been anyone, oh, anyone

A stranger out of the blue

It could have been anyone, oh, anyone

That I gave my heart up to

But it was you

Monday Without You lyrics - Carole King

Yesterday was a perfect day

Living in make-believe, perfect together

In your eyes I was number one

And you were all the world to me forever, ever and ever

But you have another life

You're going to somewhere I don't belong

I can't think about Monday

I can't think about watching you walk away

I only want to be with you

I just want to be with you

I can't think about anything else but Sunday and the touch of you

I only want to be with you

I can't think about Monday without you

In an empty room

Waiting for a reason why

Trying, crying, dying

I know that it's over

But I don't want to hear you say goodbye

I can't think about Monday

I can't think about watching you walk away

I only want to be with you

I just want to be with you

I can't think about anything else but Sunday and the touch of you

I only want to be with you

I can't think about Monday without you

An Uncommon Love lyrics - Carole King

Why do we isolate each other

All the walls we build between us

Make it so hard to be together

How can we tear at one another

When the thing we have in common

Is an uncommon love

Walls can fall, tears can mend

So why can't we reach across the line

And touch each other

Here on two sides of the truth

We've a middle ground in common

We have an uncommon love

Time can heal, hearts can mend

So why can't we reach across the line

And touch each other

When will we ever learn

That the thing we have in common

Is an uncommon love

We have an uncommon love

An uncommon love

You Will Find Me There lyrics - Carole King

You don't have to wear the weight of the world on your shoulders

Don't you know I'll be there for you, always, always

You can tell me anything, and you know I'll understand

When you're down and out, and your soul is bare

You just turn around, you will find me there

You keep on giving everyone so much more than your share

So many things you do in so many ways, always

But you need someone you can hold on to

When you're down and out, I will always care

You just turn around, you will find me there

When it's all gone wrong, it's falling down on you

Lean on me, I'll be strong

I will keep you safe, keep you warm

When you're down and out, I will always care

You just turn around, you will find me there

I will take your hand, I will dry your tears

I will comfort you when your hope has disappeared

When you're down and out, I will always care

You just turn around, you will find me there, you will find me right there

When you're down and out and you're in despair

You just turn around, you will find me there

When you're down and out, I will be right there

You just turn around, you will find me, you will find me right there

Safe Again lyrics - Carole King

Seems so hard

All I want to do is let down my guard

Laugh like a child and play out in the yard

I want to feel safe again

I don't know

What happened to you, where did you go

Wish I could not feel the cold wind blow

I want to feel safe again

If only I could believe everything will soon be

Like all the fairy tales I've read

But I feel so lost and naked

And I wake up with the shape of a dream

In my head

Seems so hard

All I want to do is let down my guard

Get through just one more day unscarred

I want to feel safe again

I want to feel safe again

I want to feel safe again

With you

This Time lyrics - Carole King

I go through the motions of being with people

When deep in my soul, I want to be where you are

I know we speak every night

But words only go so far, I know

It feels like an ocean of time we're apart

I know that I've said it before

But this time when I come home

I will stay with you

This time's the last time that I'm gonna go

Just close your eyes, and imagine me home again

It isn't so far away

Soon I'll be back, and you'll never be alone again

This time I mean to stay

I promise you this time I'll do whatever it takes

To stay right by your side

I would do anything, I would give you everything

'Cause you are everything to me

But until then

Gotta keep our emotions under control

It won't be easy to do

'Cause all I want to do is kiss you, touch you,

Hold you, love you, promise, I promise

I promise you, I'll stay with you, but till then

Just close your eyes, and imagine me home again

I mean every word I say

Soon I'll be back, and you'll never be alone again

This time I mean to stay

Just close your eyes, and imagine me home again

Soon I will be on my way (never gonna go)

This time I mean it, you'll never be alone again

This time I mean to stay

Birthday Song lyrics - Carole King

Happy Birthday

Your whole life is in front of you, you've only just begun
