    2. My Love

      And when I go away
      I know my heart can stay with my love / it's understood
      It's in the hands of my love / and my love does it good
      Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo / my love does it good

      And when the cupboards bare
      I'll still find something there with my love
      It's understood / it's everywhere with my love
      And my love does it good
      Wo-wo-wo-wo wo-wo-wo-wo
      My love does it good

      I love oh wo ...... my love
      Only my love holds the other key to me
      Oh .... my love oh ... my love
      Only my love does it good to me
    Solo
      Wo-wo-wo-wo wo-wo-wo-wo
      My love does it good

      Don't ever ask me why / i never say goodbye to my love
      It's understood / it's everywhere with my love
      And my love does it good
      Wo-wo-wo-wo wo-wo-wo-wo
      My love does it good
      Oh .... my love oh ... my love
      Only my love does it good to me
      Wo ..................

    3. Get On The Right Thing

      All at once you get love on your mind
      And your world is as kind as a penny
      Oh .... and you knew it all along / you did the right thing
      Believe me its true / and it can happen to you

      All at once you get sound in your ears
      And your cloud disappears into yellow
      Well you know they were were wrong

      Get on tee right thing do / get on the right thing you

      All at once we see things in our skies
      And we both realize it together
      Well you know they were wrong
      Get on the right thing / yes you knew it all along
      Get on the right thing / believe me its so
      Because i happen to know / you can't go wrong

    4. One More Kiss

      Only one more kiss / i didn't mean to hurt you little girl
      Let's make it one to remember / only one more kiss

      I said a foolish thing last night
      I didn't think you'd take it bad
      But now i'm on my way again and just before i go

      Only one more kiss / i never mean to hurt you little girl
      Let's make it one to remember / only one more kiss
    Solo
      Only one more kiss / i didn't mean to hurt you little girl
      Let's make it one to remember / only one more kiss

      Somebody's built a home for us
      Someday we'll see it standing there
      But like the wind that has to blow / i must be on my way

      Only one more kiss / i never mean to hurt you little girl
      Let's make it one to remember / only one more kiss

    5. Little Lamb Dragonfly

      I have no answer for you little lamb
      I can help you out / but i cannot help you in
      Sometimes you think that life is hard
      And this is only one of them
      My heart is breaking for you little lamb
      I can help you out / but we may never meet again

      La la la la la la la la ... etc.

      Dragonfly fly by my window
      You and I still have a way to go
      Don't know why you hang around my door
      I don't live here any more
      Since you ve gone I never know
      I go on, but I miss you so

      Dragonfly don't keep me waiting
      I'm waiting can't you see me i'm waiting
      When we try we'll have a way to go
      Dragonfly you've been away too long
      How did two rights make a wrong
      Since you've gone I never know i go on
      But I miss you so in my heart
      I feel the pain
      Keeps coming back again

      Dragonfly fly by my window
      I'm flying can't you see me i'm flying
      You and I can find a way to see
      Dragonfly the years ahead will show
      How little we really know
      Since you've gone its never right they go on
      The lonely nights, come on home
      And make it right

      My heart is aching for you little lamb
      I can help you out / but i cannot help you in

      La la la la la la la la ... etc.

    6. Single Pigeon

      Single pigeon through the railing
      Did she throw you out
      Sunday morning fight about saturday night

      Single seagull gliding over regent's park canal
      Do you need a pal for a minute or two / you do?
      Me too, me too, me too / i'm a lot like you
      Me too, me too, me too / i'm a lot like you

      Did she! turf you out in the cold morning rain again
      Me too, me too, me too / i'm a lot like you
      Me too, me too, me too / i'm a lot like you

      Sunday morning fight about saturday night

    7. When The Night

      Well the night was beautiful and mellow, mellow
      And the light of the night fell on me, fell on me
      You said right / made me a happy fellow, fellow
      And the light of the night fell on me
      I never will forget the night
      I held you close, i held you tight
      Oh darling, don't you know
      The way you made my senses reel?
      I fell in love and now i feel
      Like I will never go
      Oh little darling don't you know

      That the night was marvelous and yellow, yellow
      And the light of the night fell on me

      And the light of the night fell on me

      I never will forget the way
      You taught me how to swing and sway
      Oh darling don't you know
      That ever since that special day
      My mind can only contemplate
      The magic that you show
      Oh little darling don't you know
      That the night is beautiful and yellow, yellow
      And the light of the night fell on me
      Yeah the light of the night fell on me etc.

    Hands Of Love

      I can't get over myself
      Falling into the hands of love
      Just can't imagine myself
      Falling head over heals in love
      But when i saw you last night
      I knew for the first time
      That you were the one I'd been dreaming of
      I cant get over myself
      Falling into the hands of love
      Falling into the hands of love

      But when I saw you last night
      I knew for the first time
      That you were the one I'd been dreaming of
      I can't get over myself
      Falling into the hands of love
      Falling into the hands of love
      Love sweet love

      But when I saw you last night
      I knew for the first time
      That you were the one I'd been dreaming of
      I can't get over myself
      Falling into the hands of love
      Falling into the hands of love
      Love sweet love
