Linger Awhile Album Lyrics by Samara Joy

Can't Get Out of This Mood

Can't get out of this mood
Can't get over this feeling
Just can't get out of this mood
Last night, your lips were too appealing

And the thrill should've been all gone by today
In the usual way, but it's only your arms I'm out of

Can't get out of this dream
What a fool to dream of you
It wasn't part of my scheme
To sigh and tell you that I love you

But I'm saying it, and I'm playing it dumb
Can't get out of this mood
Heartbreak here I come

Can't get out of this mood
Can't get over this feeling
Just can't get out of this mood
Last night, your lips were too appealing

And the thrill should've been all gone by today
In the usual way, but it's only your arms I'm out of

Can't get out of this dream
What a fool to dream of you
It wasn't part of my scheme
To sigh and tell you that I love you

But I'm saying it, and I'm playing it dumb
Can't get out of this mood
Heartbreak here I come

Can't get out of this dream
What a fool to dream of you
It wasn't part of my scheme
To sigh and tell you that I love you

But I'm saying it, and I'm playing it dumb
Can't get out of this mood
Can't get out of this mood
Can't get out of this mood
Heartbreak here I come

Can't get out of this mood, woo

Guess Who I Saw Today

You're so late getting home from the office
Did you miss your train?
Were you caught in the rain?
No, don't bother to explain
Can I fix you a quick martini?
As a matter of fact, I'll have one with you
For to tell you the truth
I've had a quite a day too

Guess who I saw today, my dear?
I went in town to shop around for something new
I thought I'd stop
And grab a bite when I was through
I looked around for someplace new
Then it occurred to me
Where I parked the car
There was a most attractive French cafe and bar
It really wasn't very far

The waiter showed me to a dark secluded corner
And as my eyes became accustomed to the gloom
I saw two people at the bar
Who were so much in love
That even I could spot it clear across the room

Guess who I saw today, my dear?
I'd never been so shocked before
I headed blindly through the door
They didn't see me passing through
Guess who I saw today?
Guess who I saw today?
Guess who I saw today?
I saw you

Nostalgia (The Day I Knew)

Nostalgia hit me as I recall the day I knew that I loved you
You passed me by on a starry night
How could I forget, you were stunning
A vision of perfection, heaven's very essence
That you were, a shining star to me

The way you smiled was a work of art you wouldn't believe how it thrilled me
We used to talk on the phone 'til three, it made my mother so angry
And when we shared our first dance underneath the moon and starlit sky
I knew that you wеre mine

I figured aftеr all this time and all these years together all the memories fade
That you would be tired by now
It should have grown dull or stagnant
But with each passing day there's never a moment I regret saying "Hello miss
How you doin', I would like to know you."
You brushed me off immediately, gave me the coldest shoulder I've ever received
Which made me want to get to know you even more
That's when I ran into you at the bookstore, your hair pinned back while listening to music
I said "Fats make your move now before it's too late! Don't let her get away, be brave"
And then I said, "Darlin', if you'll just give me a chance
I'll treat you like a queen, my whole world is yours"
That was fifty years ago today, despite the ups and downs I wouldn't change a thing

It's hard to think of my life without you, I don't think I'd make it
You're my anchor through every storm that's ever come my way
And I'm not just talkin', I mean what I say
If you don't believe me I'll just have to spend the rest of my entire life
Showing how much you mean to me
I'll sing, I'll dance, I'll shout it from the highest mountaintop
All this to say that, I'm still so in love with you

Nostalgia hit me as I recall the day I knew that I loved you
And now the feelings are just as strong as when I first laid eyes on you
A vision of perfection, heaven's very essence
I believe you're all I'll ever need
Long as I live I'll love you for all eternity
And I'm so glad you chose me

Sweet Pumpkin

You know something?
I'm in love with you
Won't you be a sweet pumpkin?
Say you love me, too
If you do, I'm certain we could be
One of the happiest couples in this society
I got a feeling
That I'm just your style
Go on and admit it
And we'll walk that aisle
Don't be shy
Just put your arms around me
And you'll get plenty of loving, just you wait and see



Can you tell we were meant to be together?
And the wedding bell would be ours to ring forever and ever
Let's make a boogie just to be man and wife
Say yes, good looking
Lеt me share your life
You'rе to me everything that is divine
So, won't you be a sweet pumpkin?
Say you'll be mine

You, you know something?
I'm in love with you
So, won't you be a sweet pumpkin?
Say that you love me, too
And if you do, I am certain that we could be
One of the happiest couples in this society
And I got a feeling that I'm just your style
Go on, admit it
And walk right down that aisle
Don't you be shy, just put your arms around me
You'll get plenty of loving, just you wait and see

Can you tell we were meant to be together?
And the wedding bell would be ours to ring forever and ever
So, let's make a boogie just to be man and wife
Say yes, good looking
Let me share your life
You're to me everything that is divine
Be a sweet pumpkin, say that you'll be mine

[Instrumental Break]

Can you tell we were meant to be together?
And the wedding bell would be ours to ring forever and ever
Let's make a boogie to be man and wife
Say yes, good looking
Let me share your life
You're to me everything that is divine
Be a sweet pumpkin, say that you'll be mine
Be a sweet pumpkin, say that you'll be mine

Misty

Look at me
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud
I can't understand
I get misty just holding your hand

Walk my way
And a thousand violins begin to play
Or it might be the sound of your hello
That music I hear
I get misty whenever you're near

Can't you see that you're leading me on
But it's just what I want you to do
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost?
That's why I'm following you

Following you on my own
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I'm too misty and too much in love

Can't you see that you're leading me on
But it's just what I want you to do
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost?
That's why I'm following you

On my own
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I'm too misty and too much in love

Too much in love
Too misty
And too much in
Look at me

Social Call

Happened to pass your doorway
Gave you a buzz, that's all
Lately I've thought lots about you
So I thought I'd pay a social call

Do you recall the old days?
We use to have a ball
Not that I'm lonesome without you
I just thought I'd pay a social call

I'd lie and say things are just swell
But to tell the truth I haven't been too well

But if you should try to kiss me
I promise that I won't stall
Maybe we'll get back together
Starting with this incindental, elemental
Simple social call

I'm Confessin' (That I Love You)

I'm confessin' that I love you
Tell me, do you love me too?
I'm confessin' that I need you
Honestly I do, need you every moment
In your eyes I read such strange things
But your lips deny they're true
Will your answer really change things
Making me blue?
I'm afraid some day you'll leave me
Saying, "Can't we still be friends?"
If you go, you know you'll grieve me
All in life on you depends
Am I guessin' that you love me
Dreaming dreams of you in vain
I'm confessin' that I love you, over again

Day and night you're on my mind
But do you really care?
To you, I'm just a friend
Seems like it's be better if I never say a thing
Keep all my feelings to myself but
Just hearing you speak makes my heart beat out of my chest
Love's a silly game and I'm its latest fool
It started so innocently and then it grew
My eyes were opened and I saw you
How was I so blind, I should've known
My love was right in front of me
It's such a shame, I should keep it to myself
Just leave things as they are
It's not worth it to lose you now
But I can't help but wonder if we were together
How bright our futures would be
Each of us, never to part
Sadly, I wake up and then I realize it's just a dream
"Don't tell," you should
"You can't," why now?
It's hard to choose
Make up your mind before you lose your opportunity

I have a confession to make and I tried to resist
But I can't help the way that I feel
I love you so
Do you love me?

Linger Awhile

The stars shine above you, linger awhile
Whisper I love you, linger awhile
When you have gone away
Each hour seems like a day
I've something to tell you
So linger awhile

'Round Midnight

A pale and lonely moon lights the sky in the dark before the dawn
I sit here in my room, how I sigh for the day that's come and gone
Another lonely day passes by and the new day's comin' on
At midnight

Tears I shed today will pause, waiting until tomorrow
Dreams of what could be come close to me, timidly
There's a brand new day in sight
At that time time 'round about midnight
Life's a game of chance, and you're just one of the minor players
Look for what you love, the day to come harbours some
Let your eyes put out their light
At that time 'round about midnight

Every day is gonna bring some sadness
Every day is gonna bring some gladness
So take what you can of the glad times
Don't measure your pleasure in nickels and dimes

Look back on today
And you'll know when you have been unhappy
Fears done chased away just might have their day to smite
Let your spirits stop the fight
At that time 'round about midnight

Let our hearts take wings 'round midnight, midnight
Let the angels sing for your returning
Till our love is safe and sound
And old midnight comes around

I'll think no more about today
For in awhile this old day will be yesterday
Alone at midnight in my room
I sit here in the gloom
My dreams take flight 'round about midnight

Someone To Watch Over Me

There's a saying old, says that love is blind
Still I'm often told, seek and ye shall find
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind

Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
He's the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret

I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

There's a somebody I'm longin' to see
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me

I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me

Although he may not be
The man some girls think of as handsome
To my heart, he carries the key

Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me
