Hey, you're lucky, these are just one of the two songs' lyrics written in my double-CD cover, and I've already taped them, so here they are :
Cloudburst
(Trio) I was blue and I was always wearing a frown, because my gal had turned me down
Then we met and you can bet I knew from the first,
You were my love cause thats when the old gray cloud burst !
My heart really flew the day you caught my eye
I hope that we two will never say goodbye
Clouds of gray have silver linings when they're reversed
I found your love, and that's when the old gray cloud burst !
(Hendricks) Hey, baby ! I'm gonna tell you 'bout your lovin' and your kissin' and your huggin' and your sweet turtle dovin' pretty baby ; I won't be satisfied 'til I hear 'em play "Here comes the Bride"
Listen to me baby and I don't mean maybe, listen to my story it's terrifically true ! I wanna find a way to tell you that I really go for you--I hope you really believe me baby 'cause I certainly do !
'Cause you're thrillin' me, you're really, really thrillin' when you tell me that you prob'ly got a kind of crush on me, that moves me, grooves me, how devine can one woman be? Oh little darlin' I'm really fallin' ; you got me goofy and gay, I'm bound to get carried away ! Just think, you're gonna be mine someday !
Oh, let's spin a little, spark a little, stop a little, park a little, live a little, love a little, maybe turtle dove a little ; baby ; every time you hold me so near, nobody loves me like you, dear ! Let's stop a little, tease a little, prob'ly maybe squeeze a little, try a little, sigh a little, maybe I can lie a little bit, gonna tell you the truth I'm gonna love you and that's it !
'Cause I love you baby, love you baby, love you baby, love you baby, love you baby with all my heart ! Ooh, listen to me when I tell you that a lot of little ladies got away but I know, I know pretty baby I know, I know pretty baby, I know you're the one, yes you're the one, I knew it when I met ya what a break to get ya !
(Chorus) When it's cloudy and gray and that's the worst, how do you get that cloud to burst?
(Hendricks) Ya gotta find a lover, find a lover, find a lover, find a lover !
(Chorus) When it's silvery under clouds of gray, how ya gonna chase the gray away?
(Hendricks) You gotta find a little girl and make her love you a lot ; don't ever leave--em sittin, are you're really gonna ruin the plot !
(Chorus) Sounds easy, does it?
(Hendricks) Light as a breeze through the trees, boy...
(Chorus) How pleasant was it?
(Hendricks) Pleasant as one summer breeze, boy !
(Chorus) It's wonderful what a love can do--look at what love has done for you !
(Hendricks) Weell I'm a lucky lover, a lucky lover, I've got the love you should discover !
(Chorus) I was blue and I was always wearing a frown, because my gal had turned me down ; then we met and you can bet I knew from the first, you were my love cause that's when the old gray cloud burst !
(Hendricks) Take a look at me, boy, take another look, take another look, take another look, take another good long look at me, love opened my eyes and now I see !
(Chorus) Clouds of gray have silver linings when they reverse ; I found your love and that's when the old gray cloud burst !
That's when the old gray cloud burst !
Of course, I (and you !) will buy Jon's book anyway as soon as available !!!
