I'M A BELIEVER
Neil Diamond

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all of my dreams

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace, of doubt in my mind
I'm in love, and I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried

I thought love was more or less a giving thing
Seems the more I gave the less I got
What's the use in tryin'
All you get is pain
When I needed sunshine I got rain

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace, of doubt in my mind
I'm in love and I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried

Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all of my dreams

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love, I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried

I'm a believer



YESTERDAY MAN
Chris Andrews

I'm her yesterday man
Gone is the look of love she had last night
I'm her yesterday man
Gone is the look of love she had last night

Please tell me something: have you met an angel
Someone too lovely to live on earth
Well, yesterday I thought I met an angel
But she wasn't worth all she seemed to be worth
And oh what a fool I have been
I was sure taken in

I'm her yesterday man
Well my friends that's what I am
I'm her yesterday man
Well my friends that's what I am
That's what I am: her yesterday man
Gone is the look of love she had last night
Gone is the look of love she had last night

Well, some are the good and then some are the bad kind
Some of the others are in between
But all I can say is she is the worst kind
Well I think you know what I mean
And yet, in spite of all that I say
I'd take her back any day

I'm her yesterday man
Well my friends that's what I am
I'm her yesterday man
Well my friends that's what I am
That's what I am: her yesterday man
Gone is the look of love she had last night

I'm her yesterday man
Gone is the look of love she had last night
I'm her yesterday man
Gone is the look of love she had last night
I'm her yesterday man

MEMORIES
Hugh Hopper

I know I cannot leave this place
Full of memories
Things like the way they knew us
All over town

We used to walk the streets together
We could be seen
Past shops where people knew us
Yeah, people knew

I've got to choose between tomorrow
And yesterday
I can't stop to think about
My life, here today

Maybe I'll find someone to get you
Off my mind
Take me away from here
And leave it, leave it all behind

Memories can hang you up and haunt you
All your life, you know
Get so you cannot stay
And yet cannot go

I could find out where she's gone
Today I feel so unhappy
Streets seem so empty now
I want you with me
