For The First Time - ROD STEWART

For The First Time - ROD STEWART

(Jud Friedman, Allen Rich, James Newton-Howard)

Are those your eyes
Is that your smile
I've been looking at you forever
yet I never saw you before
Are these your hands holding mine
Now I wonder how I could have been so blind
And for the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seeing who you are
I can't believe how much I see
when you're looking back at me
now I understand what love is, love is
for the first time

Can this be real
Can this be true
Am I the person I was this morning
and are you the same you
It's all so strange
How can it be
All along this love was right in front of me
And for the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seeing who you are
I can't believe how much I see
when you're looking back at me
now I understand what love is, love is
for the first time

Such a long time ago I had given up
on finding this emotion ever again
But you're here with me now
Yes I found you somehow
and I've never been so sure
And for the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seeing who you are
Can't believe how much I see
when you're looking back at me
Now I understand what love is, love is
for the first time
For the first time

If We Fall In Love Tonight - ROD STEWART

(James Harris III, Terry Lewis)

Pain, flows like a river, just keeps on livin'
with all them memories
Shame, you're so heartbroken
now you're scared to open and give your love again
And now anticipation waits for love
Will it be everything you dreamed this time around
I know you have your doubts
but I won't let you down

Darlin' if, if we fall in love tonight
you're gonna be alright
your heart is in good hands
Darlin' if, if we fall in love again
on me you can depend, if you could take a chance
Open your heart and let love, love again

Blame, who's fault is it this time
I can see it in your eyes, I know you're wonderin'
Things can change, say you'll be all mine
I'm gonna love you all the time
Don't let it slip away
And now anticipation waits for love
Will it be everything you dreamed this time around
I know you've got your doubts
but honey I won't let you down

Darlin' if, if we fall in love tonight
you're gonna be alright
your heart is in good hands
Darlin' if, if we fell in love again
on me you can depend, if you can take a chance
and open your heart and let love, love again

Honey I don't, I don't want you to have any doubts about me
Whatever makes you happy, I'm gonna do
Baby I'm so ready to love you down
I can't wait another moment I need you right now

Darlin' if, if we fall in love tonight
you're gonna be alright

Darlin' if, if we fall in love again
on me you can depend, if you can take a chance
[repeat once]
Open your heart and let love, love again
[repeat and fade]

Dirty Old Town - ROD STEWART

Dirty Old Town - ROD STEWART

(Ewan McColl)

Found my love by the gaswork croft
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town, dirty old town

I heard a siren from the dock
Saw a train set the night on fire
Smelled the spring on the sulfured wind
Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town

We're goin' to take a good sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
And we'll chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town

And oh we'll chop you down
Oh, dirty, dirty, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
And oh whoa-oh dirty old town
Chop you down one of these days

Cindy's Lament - ROD STEWART

Cindy's Lament - ROD STEWART


(Rod Stewart)

Listen here
You don't have to love me always Cindy
You don't need to see me every day of the week
You don't have to notice my brand new shoes
But please, please say hello some time

You know I've tried to impress you Cindy
I even lent ya my library book
I guess you forgot, good God you soon forgot it woman
I don't mind but please say hello some time

And your mother she can't stand my face
And your brother keeps me from your door
But I'll stay around yes I'll stay around honey
I'll even watch over your garden fence

I've watched your friends Cindy laugh in my face
But I won't apologize for the way that I am
If only they knew baby, yes if only they knew
that you've already spent one night with me honey

I Wouldn't Ever Change A Thing - ROD STEWART

I Wouldn't Ever Change A Thing - ROD STEWART

(Rod Stewart)

I wouldn't change a thing if I could live it all again

Ah listen
It's funny you know when you sit down
and think about what you had
About the friends you used to know
What happened, where did they all go
Can you remember happy hours
spent drinkin' and thinkin'
We thought we could change the world
And we never, never, never, never, never
never thought we could get much older then

We were the ones who loved to love the right to love
We'd bring it on home with the right song
played at the right time
What happened to the girl that you loved once and left
young man did you break her heart
Did she live, and did she marry,
did she ever think on your face again
Ah now hold on a minute

I wouldn't change a thing if I could live it all again
Ah yeah

I think what you say is all so right
but I find it hard to jog my memories
Don't worry Lou you may never get another chance yeah

Yes I think what you say is all so right
but I find it hard to move my memories
Say it again with a lot more feelin'

And I think what you say is all so right
but I find it hard to find my memories
Don't sing so serious you make me feel so sad

But if I was true to myself
I would probably find it was a tear in my eye
that stopped me from believing you
Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry don't worry

You know my tongue gets tired
when I think back on all of the things we do
But I wonder if I'll remember these few precious things
as years pass me by
Ah when young bodies that've grown older
and mind's become dimmer
I'll point the finger back in time

I said I wouldn't change a thing if I could
if I could, if I could live it all again, yeah
