Ooh Ooh

©2007 Janey Clewer

Every little thing you do just
Makes me wanna sing and coo
And shout it to the world “I love you”

I’ve fallen for the very last time
Baby, you’re my favorite past time
Ooh, ooh

Every little kiss is magic
Every time you leave it’s tragic
All I wanna be is near you

And when you’re away, the minutes
Every single one, you’re in it
Ooh, ooh

So tonight let’s dream awake before we sleep
Make a memory we’ll always want to keep

Ooh - You are the one
You - Second to none
You - You are my reason - my season of love

I can tell you really know me
In so many ways you show me
I love everything about you

Every little card and letter
Every time we umm, gets better
Ooh, ooh

I don’t wanna lose this feeling
Dizzy, kind of crazy, reeling
I know that you feel as I do

I can see us always lasting
Baby, it’s forever casting
Ooh, ooh

I don’t wanna live without you in my plans
You’re an angel, you’re my lover, you’re my man

Ooh - You are the one
You - Second to none
You - You are my reason - my season of love

 

I SHOULD LET GO
©2006 Janey Clewer

He takes me to the dark side of temptation
A sort of downward elation
Deeper than I’ve ever felt
I’m high, yet so low
I know I should let go
I should let go

On and on the pain persists
Why, oh why can’t I resist

He showers me with kisses in a rainstorm
I know I should let go

I should let go

I know I should let go
I should let go

solo

Every night my will breaks down
Falling up beneath the ground

He cools me like a cocktail after rush hour
Addictive habit that’s turning sour
Sweeter than I’ve tasted
Yet leaves a bitterness
I know I should let go
I should let go
I know I should let go
I should let go

I know I should let go

 

THE SUMMER WIND
©2006 Janey Clewer

She was cold and lonely through the winter
He was much too burned to notice Spring
All of their defenses started melting

CHORUS
The summer wind
Invited these two lovers to a dance
The silver moon
It smiled on them
As she began to bask in his advance

Like the gentle breeze, his hands caressed her
Then she pressed her lips against his face
Underneath their feet they felt the earth move

CHORUS
The summer wind
Invited these two lovers to a dance
The silver moon
It smiled on them
As she began to bask in his advance

No one else around
They learned to tango there in the dark

CHORUS
The summer wind
Invited these two lovers to a dance
The silver moon
It smiled on them
As she began to bask in his advance

The silver moon
The summer wind

 

Too Good To Be Real
©2007 Janey Clewer

You’re my center, my lover, my mentor
The one who inspires my heart
You speak to my senses, tear down my defenses
And whisper my name in the dark

And then, unexpectedly
It’s as if the room begins to dance

CHORUS
The way you dream
The way you smile
The way you make me feel
You’re too good to be real
You’re too good to be real

You’re my treasure, my passion, my pleasure
To cherish the rest of my days
You comfort my fears and dry all of my tears
And make me feel loved for always

You’d give me the world
And yet all I really want is you

CHORUS
The way you dream
The way you smile
The way you make me feel
You’re too good to be real
You’re too good to be real

Of all the men who’ve touched my life
I’m thrilled to say that I’m your wife

You’re too good to be real

 

PICTURE THIS
©2006 Janey Clewer

Picture this, beside an ocean
Underneath the golden sun
You and I, we’re walking arm in arm along the shore

Can you picture this
There in your mind
I can see us there
All in good time
Picture this

Picture this, under the moonlight
You and I, we take a flight
On the way to France, the Riviera waits for us

Can you picture this
There in your mind
I can see us there
All in good time

We keep saying someday
Could this be our one day
We will let our inhibitions go and live our dreams

Can you picture this
There in your mind
I can see us there
All in good time
Picture this... picture this... picture this...

 

This Masquerade
©1972 Leon Russell

Are we really happy with this lonely game we play
Looking for words to say
Searching but not finding understanding anyway
We’re lost in a masquerade

Both afraid to say we’re just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
We’re lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear every time I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons that we carry on this way
We’re lost in this masquerade

Both afraid to say we’re just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
We’re lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear every time I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons that we carry on this way
We’re lost in this masquerade
We’re lost in this masquerade
We are lost
We’re lost in this masquerade

 

Make Her Mine
©2007 Janey Clewer

She belonged to someone else
His heart yearned night and day

He would watch her every move
Every night he’d pray

Make her mine
Make her mine

Hair of silk and lips of wine
Her skin like velvet sand

He’d imagine how she’d feel
Shifting in his hands

Make her mine
Make her mine

So he wrote poems of
Unrequited love
Love that never was

soio

As he pages through the years
He holds back all his tears

He hangs on each lonely day
No one hears him say

Make her mine
Make her mine
Make her mine
Make her mine

 

Shangri-La
©2006 Janey Clewer

Whisper what you want tonight
Hold me close, turn off the light
Reassure me you will stay
Love me til the break of day

I am yours, have your way
I surrender to you night and day
Day and night

Perfect cinema
Must be Shangri-La

Touch me like you did before
This could segue into more

We are one as we lay
I surrender to you night and day
Day and night

Perfect cinema
Must be Shangri-La

You send my body to paradise
You make my temperature rise

There are no words left to say
I surrender to you night and day
Day and night

Perfect cinema
Must be Shangri-La

Shangri-La, Shangri-La, Shangri-La
Whisper what you want tonight
Hold me close, turn off the light

 

FALLEN FOR BRAZIL
©2006 Janey Clewer

Gentle breezes waft ashore
They make love again on the floor

Weary lovers close their eyes
While crashing waves sing lullabies

This must be paradise

CHORUS
Over sea, over land
She has found her lover man
And the chances she will leave are close to nil
Cause this American has fallen for Brazil

Lazy days, exotic nights
Crescent moon above city lights

Their souls again ignite

CHORUS
Over sea, over land
She has found her lover man
And the chances she will leave are close to nil
Cause this American has fallen for Brazil

Rio, Rio de Janeiro
She found love in the arms of a man one night in Rio
The place her senses came alive

CHORUS
Over sea, over land
She has found her lover man
And the chances she will leave are close to nil
Cause this American has fallen for Brazil

 

COUP DE GRACE
©2006 Janey Clewer

The lovers in my past
Were lesson in romance
Some drove my senses wild
Some taught me how to dance

I turn the page and

CHORUS
Here you are
Standing in front of me
With feelings so fresh and raw
Could you be my creme de la crème,
mon cher, mon coup de grace?

There’s something devil may care
Whispering try once more
So intense, a seventh sense
I just can’t ignore

I must try, cause

CHORUS

If we take a chance, will we find true romance?

solo
Are you what I’ve waited for
Us together, tout les jours?

So here we go
Where this will lead who knows
With feelings so fresh and raw
Could you be my creme de la crème,
Mon cher, mon coup de grace?
