Тексты песен JAMES TAYLOR

(Kortchmar/Taylor) I like to think about the time I met you, living with your people down in New Orleans. Mad at your mama cause she'd never let you ride in no nasty limousine. Later on the

When Liberty Valance came to town, the women folk would hide, they'd hide. When Liberty Valance walked around, the men would step aside because the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty

Beneath the tide the fishes glide, fin to fin and side to side. For fishy love has now begun, fishy love, finny fun. Paper moon, paper heart, pink balloon, work of art. Al Capone, Bugs Moran, Val

Gee it's great after staying out late, walking my baby back home. Arm in arm, over meadow and farm, walking my baby back home. We go on harmonizing a song or she's reciting a poem, owl

Yellow and rose, yellow and rose, yellow and rose. Oh boy, Botany Bay, watching the water go by. Here's your home so far away, here is a tear for your eye. Here is a vast and unknown land,

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

Whenever I see your smiling face, I have to smile myself because I love you, yes, I do. And when you give me that pretty little pout, it turns me inside out. There's something about you, baby,
