ATF: When?

This weekly series will include as many of my all-time favorite tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way that your musical tastes can be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions that you might dare to make.  I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.



Time After Time
Cyndi Lauper
Lying
In my bed
I hear
The clock tick
And think of you
Caught up
In circles
Confusion
Is nothing new
Flashback
Warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcase of memories
Time after
Sometimes
You picture me
I'm walking
Too far ahead
You're calling
To me
I can't hear
What you've said
Then you say
Go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost
You can look
And you will find me
Time after time
If you fall
I will catch you
I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost
You can look
And you will find me
Time after time
If you fall
I will catch you
I will be waiting
Time after time

After
My picture fades
And darkness
Has turned to gray
Watching
Through windows
You're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets
Stolen
From deep inside
The drum beats out of time

If you're lost
You can look
And you will find me
Time after time
If you fall
I will catch you
I'll be waiting
Time after time

You said
Go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost
You can look
And you will find me
Time after time
If you fall
I will catch you
I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost
You can look
And you will find me
Time after time
If you fall
I will catch you
I will be waiting
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time



Day By Day
The Hooters
Give me what you can tonight
Time is all we have to play
Tell me you can't live without me
Tell me every
Day
By day
By day

Day by day
Nothing lasts forever
Only fades away
Day by day

Give me what you can tonight
I'm back tomorrow anyway
Show me some appreciation
Show me every
Day
By day
By day

Day by day
The chance you gotta take's
The price you gotta pay
Day by day

And if you break down
I will remind you
Ooh
Of what you were yesterday
You can break down
I'll be behind you
Every
Every
Every
Every
Day by day

Day by day
Day by day
Nothing lasts forever
Only fades away
Day by day
Day by day

Show me some appreciation
Oh I can't stand anticipation

Day by day
Day by day
The chance you gotta take's
The price you gotta pay
Day by day
Day by day
Day by day
Day by day
Day by day
Day by day

  1. Saw the title "Day By Day" - thought it was going to be the song from Godspell - I scrolled down, saw the lyrics. I was wrong - Day By Day

  3. Cyndi Lauper may have always been a little on the freaky looking side but I like a lot of her songs

  4. I agree with you re "Time After Time"...it's a great song. I've always loved it.

    I'm not familiar with the other one...I'm listening to it now for the first time.

  6. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Lee!!! The Hooters had a few monster hits back in the 80s, and I did not realize just how closely linked they were with Cyndi Lauper until I went to include them in one of my Two For Tuesdays a while back. In fact, the two main members of The Hooters are the writers of Time After Time. One of my main attractions to their Day By Day and And We Danced, which will have a spot in this series later on, is having the mandolin on prominent display.

  8. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Lin!!! We like some of her music, but the less of just her, the better. (We even tried to watch her reality show--twice!)

  9. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Adullamite!!! I am starting to suspect of a pattern for gauging the quality of music with you. For anything you squawk about is actually really good!
