DON'T SMOKE IN BED I left a note on the dresser And my old wedding ring With these few good-bye words How can I sing Good-bye old sleepyhead I'm packing you in Like I said Take care of everything I'm leaving my wedding ring Don't look for me I'll get ahead Remember darling Don't smoke in bed Don't look for me And I'll get ahead Remember darling Don't smoke in bed
THE AIR THAT I BREATHE If I could make a wish I think I'd pass Can't think of anything I need No cigarettes, no sleep No light, no sound Nothing to eat No books to read Making love with you Has left me peaceful warm and tired What more could I ask There's nothing to be desired Peace came upon me And it leaves me weak So sleep silent angel Go to sleep Sometimes All I need is the air that I breathe And to love you All I need is the air that I breathe And to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Making love with you Has left me peaceful warm and tired What more could I ask There's nothing to be desired Sometimes All I need is the air that I breathe And to love you All I need is the air that I breathe And to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Peace came upon me And it leaves me weak So sleep, silent angel, Go to sleep Sleep, silent angel Go to sleep
SMOKE DREAMS Smoke dreams From smoke rings While a cigarette burns I keep yearning for you Through smoke dreams From smoke rings That old feeling returns Can't believe that we're through I try to pretend Our love has ended, but my heart Tells me no The dreams I resist Won't be dismissed Though I try to forget With each cigarette Still, smoke rings Bring smoke dreams And although you are gone Our love story goes on I try to pretend our love has ended But my heart tells me no The dreams I resist Won't be dismissed Though I try to forget With each cigarette, still Smoke rings Bring smoke dreams And although you are gone Our love story goes on
MY LAST CIGARETTE The moon in the morning Is watching the rain turn to snow But outside my window Sometimes the rain falls harder Than you'll ever know Sometimes the things that you love in the night The morning will choose to forget I have a habit I have been trying to lose Everyone thinks that they know what they want Sometimes your drug chooses you There are some things that I promised myself Things I haven't done yet This is my last cigarette This is my last cigarette Sometimes the people who love in the night In the morning will choose to forget This is my last cigarette This is my last cigarette This is my last cigarette

theme from VALLEY OF THE DOLLS Gotta get off Gonna get Have to get off of this ride Gotta get hold Gonna get Need to get hold of my pride When did I get Where did I How was I caught in this game When will I know Where will I How will I think of my name When did I stop Feeling sure, feeling safe And start wondering why Is this a dream Am I here Where are you What's in back of the sky Why do we cry Gotta get off Gonna get Out of this merry-go-round Gotta get on Gonna get Need to get on where I'm bound When did I get Where did I Why am I lost as a lamb When will I know Where will I How will I learn who I am Is this a dream Am I here Where are you Tell me When will I know How will I know When will I know Why?
YOUR SMOKESCREEN The medicine has taken you over Washing away any desire How does it feel at the end of the day When your energy's gone and it's slowly replaced By the numbing sensation Cleaning both sides of your brain I remember the stars in your eyes But even the bright stars can fade out Sometimes Do you remember our very last kiss Are you aware that you're terribly missed Do you remember how to remember I should have seen Through your smokescreen
MY OLD ADDICTION My old addiction Changed the wiring in my brain So that when it turns the switches And I am not the same So like the flowers towards the sun, I will follow Stretch myself out thin Like there's a part of me that's already buried That sends me out into this wind And my old addiction Is a flood upon the land This tiny lifeboat can keep me dry But my weight is all that it can stand So when I try to lean just a little Just a splash to cool my feet All that trickle turns out fickle Fills my boat up five miles deep My old addiction Makes me crave only what is best Like just this morning songbirds Craving upward from the nest These tiny birds outside my window Take my hand to be their mum These open mouths would trust and swallow Anything that comes along Like my old addiction Now the other side of day The springtime of my lifestyle Turns the other way If the swan can have a song I think I know that tune But the page is only scrawls And I am gone this afternoon The page is only scrawls And I am gone This afternoon
TILL THE HEART CAVES IN We stood together in an open field And shared the secrets that the night revealed Then we chased a lie Racing through the sky Can we untangle guilt and innocence How hard we torture this ambivalence Night will bring no dawn Where's the power gone For I'll steal your dreams while you are sleeping And sell them for dust And cheap lust And I'll turn your hope while you are weeping And cover your eyes With sad lies And dark skies Come closer to me On your hands and knees Alone when your will's gone How much is not enough How much is through How long will I be getting over you How much grief and sin 'Til the heart caves in 'Til the heart caves in 'Til the heart caves in
SMOKE RINGS Tell me where do they go These smoke rings I blow Each night What do they do These circles of blue and white Why do they seem To picture a dream Of love Why do they fade My phantom parade of love Puff, puff, puff Puff your cares away Puff, puff, puff Night and day Blow, blow them through the air Silky little rings Those little smoke rings I love Take me above With you Puff, puff, puff Puff your cares away Puff, puff, puff Night and day Blow, blow them through the air Silky little rings Those little smoke rings I love Take me above Take me with you
HAIN'T IT FUNNY Made love last night Wasn't good Wasn't bad Intimate strangers Made me kinda sad When I woke up this morning Coffee wasn't on Slowly it dawned on me that my baby Was gone My baby's gone Guess I shouldn't be so shocked Guess I shouldn't be so surprised Guess I sorta noticed The sadness in your eyes All this time together Still feel so alone The two of us together Couldn't make this house a home My baby's gone My baby's gone Ohhhhhh, so long Maybe I'm a little bit relieved Maybe even a little bit glad Now that you're gone Maybe I won't feel so bad Start packing your things Leaving them outside Neighbors can talk themselves up into a storm I'll survive My baby's gone My baby's gone Ohhhhhhhh So long Did you forget something, my love I see you're back outside Looking at your suitcases, looking Oh so surprised Hain't it funny One of life's little jokes Thought you'd gone for good But you'd only gone For smokes
LOVE IS LIKE A CIGARETTE What is love You call it heaven above A star that shines In the night A bird that sings In its flight A flower that blooms in the spring It's no such thing Love Is like a cigarette You know you had my heart aglow Between your fingertips And Just like a cigarette I never knew the thrill of life Until you touched my lips Then Just like a cigarette Love seemed to fade away And leave behind Ashes of regret And with a flick of your fingertip It was easy for you to forget Love is like a cigarette Then Just like a cigarette Love seemed to fade away And leave behind Ashes of regret And with a flick Of your fingertip It was easy for you to forget Cause love is like a cigarette
