I did try doing an on-line search on Google but could not find it. I typed in something like lyrics for song called, "The Reward" by Gay & Terry Woods. It brought me to the song itself and other information about Gay & Terry Woods but I could not seem to find the lyrics anywhere on my search. I have listened to the song of course but cannot seem to get all the lyrics. So if anyone has the exact lyrics of this song I would appreciate it If you would type them up and post it here. Thank you in advance. |

There are still a couple of unknown words: THE REWARD As recorded by Gay and Terry Woods on “Tender Hooks” (1978) Pretty frost on the window, the snow in my heart, You’re leavin’ tomorrow on a late mornin’ plane. I’d stayed awake all night to be close to you, But you didn’t realize I was fallin’ in love with you. I didn’t see this ... comin’; it took me unaware Out under the street lights in those ... blue skies. You awoke my sleepin’ heart, started all these foolish dreams, And you didn’t realize I was fallin’ in love with you. Oh, is this the reward: just a broken heart, For lovin’ you, for lovin’ you? I thought I had true love till you brought this new love, Then you flew from the island, took my heart away with you. Now I still see your face each time I close my eyes, And you’ll never realize I fell in love with you. Oh, is this the reward: just a broken heart, For lovin’ you, for lovin’ you? |

I'm just wondering however does Gay Woods sing "Out under the street lights in those blue skies?" I listened to the song again but couldn't quite make out if that is the exact words on that line? Could you be under the street lights in blue skies? Thank you, Linda |

I read the lyrics shown there as THE REWARD As recorded by Gay and Terry Woods on “Tender Hooks” (1978) Pretty frost on the window, there's snow in my heart, You’re leavin’ tomorrow on a late-mornin’ plane. I stayed awake all night to be close to you, But you didn’t realize I was falling in love with you. I didn’t see this one coming; it took me unaware Out under the street lights and those dusty blue skies. You awoke my sleeping heart, started all these foolish dreams, And you didn’t realize I was fallin’ in love with you. Oh, is this the reward: just a broken heart, For loving you, for loving you? I thought I had true love till you brought this new love, Then you flew from the island, took my heart away with you. Now I still see your face each time I close my eyes, And you’ll never realize I fell in love with you. Oh, is this the reward: just a broken heart, For lovin’ you, for lovin’ you? |

The main difference is "stars" instead of "skies" in the second verse: THE REWARD As recorded by Gay and Terry Woods on “Tender Hooks” (1978) Pretty frost on the window, there's snow in my heart, You’re leavin’ tomorrow on a late-mornin’ plane. I stayed awake all night to be close to you, But you didn’t realise I was falling in love with you. I didn’t see this one coming; it took me unawares. Out under the street lights and those dusty blue stars. You awoke my sleeping heart, started all these foolish dreams, And you didn’t realize I was fallin’ in love with you. O is this the reward: just a broken heart For loving you, for loving you? I thought I had true love till you brought this new love, Then you flew from the island, took my heart away with you. Now I still see your face each time I close my eyes, And you’ll never realise I fell in love with you. Oh, is this the reward: just a broken heart, For lovin’ you, for lovin’ you? |
