Love Comes Without Warning by America lyrics:

When life was just empty rooms
For company I'd talk to the moon
I danced along to my own song
That no one could hear

When nights were silent and dark
I'd lie in shadows, stare at the stars
The quiet voice that lifted my heart
Was always so clear
It told me...

The chance for love comes without warning
So don't stop looking for it
Yeah love comes without warning
So be ready for love

I dreamed it thousands of times
I even felt your skin touchin' mine
Sometimes you were so clear in my mind
I knew you were here
It kept me...

Believin' love comes without warning
So don't stop looking for it
Yeah love comes without warning
So be ready for love

Yours are the eyes
I have spent my life lookin' for
If they're not telling lies
You were lookin' for me

I wanna tell everyone
Who's waitin' in the dark for the sun
Before your chance in life is gone
You'll be in the light
Remember...

The chance of love comes without warning
So don't stop looking for it
Yeah love (always comes) comes without warning
So be ready for love

Your chance for love comes without warning
So don't stop looking for it
Yeah love (always comes) comes without warning
So be ready for love

Your chance for love comes without warning
So don't stop looking for it
Yeah love (always comes) comes without warning
So be ready for love

The Lonely Guy lyrics:

There's one lonely girl
Saturday night, nothing to do

And there's one lonely guy

All by himself at a table for two
And it's sad, because one lonely guy

Might change the world for one lonely girl

And life would be so sweet
If only she could meet

One lonely guy
(One lonely, one lonely, one lonely guy)

In a world like today

So many times, even lovers are strangers

They pass, but look away

Keeping their hearts far out of danger
And it's sad, because one lonely guy

Might change the world for one lonely girl

And life would be complete
If only she could meet

One lonely guy

About the movie:

The Lonely Guy is a 1984 Steve Martin romantic comedy film, written by Neil Simon and directed by Arthur Hiller.

Based on the book "The Lonely Guy's Book of Life" by Bruce Jay Friedman, Martin portrays Larry Hubbard, a greeting card writer who goes through a period of terrible luck with women. At the pit of his despair, Hubbard writes a book titled A Guide for the Lonely Guy, which is rampantly successful and catapults him into an entirely different experience of life.

The film also stars Charles Grodin, Judith Ivey and Steve Lawrence and features cameo appearances from Merv Griffin, Dr. Joyce Brothers, and Loni Anderson. One of the theme songs of the movie, "Love Comes Without Warning", was performed by America.

You Never Told Me You Loved Me by Gabriel

Terry Lauber is the vocalist for Gabriel's lovely "You Never Told Me You Loved Me". Although this Frank Butorac-written song did not enjoy chart success in the US, it enjoyed considerable airtime in some Southeast Asian countries, which includes the Philippines.

For more information on "You Never Told Me You Loved Me", as well as the band Gabriel, I've posted an excerpt of Terry Lauber's e-mail to me below, with his permission:

-----

Oh and I was the vocalist on 'You Never Told Me You Loved Me'.  The song was written by Frank Butorac, the other guitarist in Gabriel but as we were producing that first LP for ABC Dunhill records, it was decided that I should try my hand at the vocal.  We had never performed the song before recording it for the album, so Frank didn't have much of a vocal on it.  So I worked it out one evening in the studio and everyone liked it, so we kept it.  Though we only performed the song a very few times live... don't know why, just never played and sang it much.  It's certainly a lovely song and I've always been proud of my vocal performance on it.  So, thanks for asking.


Gabriel was 'fronted' by myself as the primary lead vocalist. Frank Butorac was the songwriter of 'You Never Told Me You Loved Me' with me as the vocalist...

Prior to recording the third LP for Epic Records (and we had only 3 LPs total) Stacy Christenson left the group. Also, the song Martha, our most successful song in the US, charted at #73 'with a bullet' was one of my compositions not Frank Butorac's writing. Frank and I shared the writing duties for Gabriel, so it wasn't just a Frank Butorac project... Also as you will notice on the CDs both Frank and I also played piano and I played pedal steel guitar on numerous recordings as well.

And you're right about You never told me not being a good choice to play in American dance clubs. It just wasn't a good match so we never used the song much... though we all liked it a great deal. No offense taken on your remark about Americans and their musical tastes.
