What's my mama gonna do
When mama hears I've chosen you
Sister's gonna have a fit
I'll never hear the end of it
They'll yell and holler through the night
Tell me I'm not doin' right
But baby, you and me
We don't need no pedigree
We'll rock the family tree
We'll shake it and break it 'cause we're gonna make it alone
Gonna be an avalanche, yeah, yeah, yeah
When I tell my cousin Blanche
It wouldn't matter who you were
'Cause nobody's good enough for her
And Uncle Joe, he gonna stroke his chin
And pass around the aspirin
But baby, you and me
Oh, don't you know that we don't need no pedigree, no, no
We're gonna rock that family tree
We'll shake it and break it 'cause we're gonna make it alone
My brother's gonna hold his head
Grandma gonna straight to bed
My papa's gonna say, “What are you doin' now
That boy's gonna lead you right to ruin”
They're gonna make an awful fuss
And they're gonna try to talk me out of us
But baby, you and me
I said we don't need no pedigree
We're gonna rock the family tree
We'll shake it and break it 'cause we're gonna make it alone
We're gonna make it, oh, ho, oh you wait and see
And if they don't like it, well, we're gonna have to say bye-bye to
the whole family
'Cause baby, you and me
Oh, we don't need, we don't need no pedigree
We're gonna rock that tree 'cause
We'll shake it, break it, we're gonna make it, woo
Baby, you and me
You know we don't need a no pedigree
We're gonna, woo...ooh...uh
We're gonna shake it, break it, make it, uh
You and me, we don't need, we don't need, we don't need nobody
We're gonna make it, just you wait and see
If I believe in paradise,
I swear I must be there.
I swear I must be there right now with you.
If I believe in miracles,
I'd know that one was happening to me.
But I don't believe in paradise
And miracles are not real.
Then, someone tell me what is this I feel?
Chorus:
I wanna believe it's love this time.
I wanna believe my heart's not telling me lies.
But with you I can't deny.
If I believe in paradise,
I swear...
I'm there.
If I believe in magic spells,
It all would be so clear:
A magic spell must have brought you here.
If I can see the future,
I'd see if you and I were meant to be.
But I don't know any magic,
And tomorrow's just a dream.
Then something in this fantasy is real.
I wanna believe it's love this time.
I wanna believe my heart's not telling me lies.
I wanna believe it's love this time.
I wanna believe my heart's not telling me lies.
But with you I can't deny
If I believe in paradise, I swear...
I'm there.
I'm there...
I swear...
If I believe.
Loving you came easily
That it made be blind to all there was to see
Now my heart is filled with pain
To understand, I never will
How could it come to be that you don't love me still?
Now it's getting to be plain
CHORUS:
If you really cared about anyone else, you know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself, I bet you wouldn't go
If you really cared about anyone else, you know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself, you wouldn't walk out the door
BRIDGE:
Though somedays the blues was our parade
Still we marched through all the tears we made
Now I find it was an old game of charades...that you played
VERSE2:
I did my best to bring you joy
How can you just leave me like a broken toy?
Where's the man that once was you?
If I could be within your mind
I would never think to treat you this unkind
The pain you caused will come to you
Repeat CHORUS to fade
You're a young man, a sweet guy
Handsome, kinda shy
You got a nice car, a steady job
Money you got plenty of
What can I give a man with everything
Just one thing you need
You need one lovin' woman
Every home should have one
Two hearts filled with passion
Make your house a happy home
You'll never be alone
When you've got one lovin' woman
Every home should have one
I'm a woman longin'
For lovin' belongin'
Got ideas, plenty of them
I can help you with your problems
Don't you know that I'm gonna give to you my everything
Everything you need
You need one lovin' woman
Every home should have one
Two hearts filled with passion
Make your house a happy home
You'll never be alone
When you've got one lovin' woman
Every home should have one
Don't you know that I'm gonna give to you my everything
Everything you need, everything you need
You need one lovin' woman
Every home should have one
Two hearts filled with passion
Make your house a happy home
You'll never be alone
When you've got one lovin' woman
Every home should have one
Two hearts filled with passion
Make your house a happy home
You'll never be alone
When you've got one lovin' woman
Every home should have one
Two hearts filled with passion
Make your house a happy home
You'll never be alone
When you've got one
Do you love me
Can we still be a part of tomorrow
Do you want me baby, baby
Or is this just a thing of the past
Need to feel your arms around me
I can’t stand it whenever you’re gone
Ever since the day you found me
I’ve been hooked on your kiss, but I know now that this
Can’t go on
Been watchin’ all my dreams slip right away
Seems so wrong
How all the good times live inside of yesterday
Do you love me
Can we still be a part of tomorrow
Do you want me baby, yeah
Or is this just a thing of the past
Said you wouldn’t let love burn me
Like a fool I believed it was true
Can’t you see just how you hurt me
Got a sensitive heart and it’s tearin’ apart
Over you
I need to see that sunshine like before
Don’t be cruel
Don’t give up on the things we’ve both been livin’ for
Do you love me
Can we still be a part of tomorrow
Do you want me baby
Or is this just a thing of the past
Is it so hard to show what you feel
Can’t you understand that I still care
You’ve got to tell me this love is real
Or are tears the only thing we can share
Do you love me (I need to know what’s goin’ on)
Can we still be a part of tomorrow (Is this thing right or is it
wrong)
Do you want me, baby (Do you know what’s goin’ on)
Or is this just a thing of the past (Is this thing right or is it
wrong)
Do you love me (I need to know what’s goin’ on)
Are you tryin’ to tell me it’s over (Is this thing right or is it
wrong)
Do you need me, baby (Do you know what’s goin’ on)
Don’t you know that this lovin’ can last (Is this thing right or is it
wrong)
Do you love me (I need to know what’s goin’ on)
Can we still be a part of tomorrow (Is this thing right or is it
wrong)
Do you want me, baby (Do you know what’s goin’ on)
Or is this just a thing of the past (Is this thing right or is it
wrong)
Do you love me (I need to know what’s goin’ on)
Pressure slowly building like a sky about to rain
Something so electric in the air
All this time we're killing only leads us back again
To the feeling that's been waitin' for us here
It's too late
To be cautious
If it's a mistake
It's one we're meant to make
Shoot the moon
'Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot the moon
There's no way that the stars can refuse
Feel the tiger stalkin' in the jungle of the heart
Hungry for the tender and the warm
We can keep on talkin' but as long as we're apart
The feeling just can't break into a storm
Take a chance
When the music is playing
You dance
There's no reason we can't
Shoot the moon
'Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot the moon
There's no way that the stars can refuse
Finding you here
Had the odds of a million to one
And you're the one
Now it's up to us
To finish what fate has begun
Take a chance
When the music is playing
You dance
There's no reason we can't
Shoot the moon
'Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot the moon
There's no way that the stars can refuse
Shoot
Shoot
To
We shoot the moon
Shoot the moon (There's nothing standing in our way)
And if we shoot the moon (It's just the chance we have to take)
Shoot the moon (There's nothing standing in our way)
'Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot the moon (It's just the chance we have to take)
There's no way that the stars can refuse
Shoot the moon (There's nothing standing in our way)
'Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot the moon (It's just the chance we have to take)
There's no way that the stars can refuse
Shoot the moon (There's nothing standing in our way)
'Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot the moon (It's just the chance we have to take)
There's no way that the stars can refuse
Shoot the moon (There's nothing standing in our way)
'Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot
There's no way that the stars can refuse
Shoot
Here I am
And I want you to see, baby
I wanna watch you watchin' me in motion
To taste the secret side of me
Every time I look at you, I know
You're fighting your emotions
Now you have no choice but to let go
And dive into my ocean
Honey for the bees
Sugar never was so sweet
Honey for the bees
Sugar never was so sweet, yeah
Hold my hand
I'm gonna set you free, baby
I'm gonna let you fly all over me
Show me a lock and I'll show you the key
Every time you feel like holdin' back
I'm gonna pull you deeper
Always steerin' from the beaten track
And I will be the reaper
Honey for the bees
Sugar never was so sweet
Oh, honey for the bees

I thought I had the only key
I thought you only opened up to me
What happened?
Don't know how you call it love
I thought I was your brightest light
Someone else was lightin' up your life
What happened?
Don't know how you call it love
I'm not suspicious
No, not me
But I'm not blind
And I'd have to be not to see
You're gettin' away with murder
You can't love a girl and hurt her

Gettin' away murder

But you were cheatin' all along
There ought to be a law
For what you've done, oh…oh…
I gotta save you
From yourself
I gotta stop you
Hurtin' someone else
You're not gettin' away with murder
You can't love a girl and hurt her
That's gettin' with
Gettin' away murder
You can't tell a girl you love her

In the heat of heat
The heat is so hot
My body takes control
In the heat of heat
The heat gets so hot
My passion overloads
A lonely room until you walked in
Too positive to ignore
This sensual curiosity
Affecting me like no other has before
I see your face and chills run up and down my legs
I hear your voice, my passion's pumpin' through my veins
I feel your touch, the heat is driving me insane
I lose control, I think I wanna love you

Just comes naturally

Nothing to prove, I know you've got a lot
I see your face and chills run up and down my legs
I hear your voice, my passion's pumpin' through my veins
I feel your touch, the heat is driving me insane
I give in, I think I wanna love you

You're alone all the time
Does it ever puzzle you
Have you asked why
You seem to fall in love and out again
Do you really ever love
Or just pretend, oh, baby
Why fool yourself
Don't be afraid to help yourself
It's never too late, too late to
Stop, look, yes, listen to your heart
Hear what it's sayin'
Stop, look, listen to your heart
Hear what it's sayin'
Love, oh, love, love
Though you try, you can't hide
All the things you really feel
This time decide
That you will open up, let it in
There's no shame in sharin' love you feel within
So jump right in
Head over heels and fall right in
It's never too late, too late to
Stop, look, listen to your heart

Love letters straight from your heart
Keep us so near while we part
I'm not alone in the night
When I can have all the love you write
I memorize every line
I kiss the name that you sign
And darling then I read again
Right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart
I'm not alone in the night
When I can have all the love you write
I memorize every line
I kiss the name that you sign
And darling then I read again
Right from the start
The concert was over in Carnegie Hall
The maestro took bow after bow
He said, “My dear friends I have given my all.
I'm sorry, it's all over now.”
When from the balcony way up high
There suddenly came a mournful cry
Oh, Mr. Paganini
Please play my rhapsody
And if you cannot play it won't you sing it?
And if you can't sing you simply have to
Scat
Listen Paganini,
We breathlessly await your masterful détente
Go on and sling it
And if you can't sling it you simply have to
Scat
We heard your repertoire
And at the final bar
We greeted you with wild applause
But what a great ovation
Your interpretation of:
‘I never cared much for moonlight skies
I never blinked back at fireflies'
Would do
So, Paganini don't you be a meanie
What have you up your sleeve?
Come on and spring it
And if you can't spring it, you simply have to
Scat
Listen Paganini, please play my rhapsody
And if you cannot play it, wont you sing it?
If the boys is bopping
Aint no need in stopping
Scat
Listen Paganini,
We breathlessly await your masterful détente
Come on and spring it
If the boys is bopping
Aint no need in stopping
Scat
I heard your repertoire and
At the final bar
We greeted you, we greeted you
With wild applause
But what a great ovation
Your interpretation of
Scat
Listen Paganini
Now, don't you be a meanie
What have you up your sleeve?
Come on and spring it
And if you can't spring it, you simply have to
it feel so good, my dear
Just lying here with both your arms around me
And it's good to know
That we're in love
Oh, the fire's burnin now
And I can feel the warmth so deep inside me
And it's good to know
That we're in love
There's a kind of magic in the air
That I can feel when we're together (There's a kind of magic in the
air), ooh ooh
There's a kind of touch that lets me know
That you can feel the magic too
Every time I'm with you, boy
You know our love gets sweeter, yes, and better (And it's good to
know)
And it's good to know
That we're in love, in love, in love, we're in love
And it's good to know
Yes, it's good to know that we're in love
There's a kind of magic in the air
That I can feel when we're together (There's a kind of magic in the
air), ooh ooh
There's a kind of touch that lets me know
That you can feel the magic too
Every time I'm with you, boy
You know our love gets sweeter, yes, and better (And it's good to

Be wise, be smart, behave, my heart
Dont upset your cart when shes so close
Be soft, be sweet, but be discreet
Dont go off your feet, he's so close for comfort
Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say when
Be firm, be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care, while theres such temptation
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
Shes much too close for comfort now
Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say when
Be firm and be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care, while theres such temptation
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
Shes much too close for comfort now
Too close, much too close
Marian:
There were bells on the hill
But I never heard them ringing,
No, I never heard them at all
Till there was you.
There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No, I never saw them at all
Till there was you.
And there was music,
And there were wonderful roses,
They tell me,
In sweet fragrant meadows of dawn, and dew.
There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No, I never heard it at all
For the first time in my life
Boy, I'm not afraid of saying
How I really feel inside
We don't have to go on waiting
Just think about it, together you and I
I could never try to write a better story
For the pages of my life you must have written for me
'Cause every line found a way into my heart
Chorus:
So we take it one day at a time
And leave all our worries behind
No matter which road that we choose
As long as we got each other
No way we can lose
We can make it through love
Through the test of time
When you look back on the days
Boy, you tried so hard to reach me
But I never saw the way
Till you took the time to teach me
And I found out what it's all about
(Chorus)
Time and again I must say
How lucky I feel to have found you
Oh and I pray everyday
That this feeling goes on forever and ever
(Chorus)
[Sax solo]
Oh and I pray everyday
That this feeling goes on forever and ever
(Chorus)
We can make it through love
Through the test of time
Through the test of time
If I've got you and you've got me
Then we'll be as happy as we can be
If I love you baby and you love me too
Then there ain't nothin' that we can't go through
When the mellow moon begins to beam,
Ev'ry night I dream a little dream;
And of course Prince Charming is the theme:
The he
For me.
Although I realize as well as you
It is seldom that a dream comes true,
To me it's clear
That he'll appear.
Some day he'll come along,
The man I love;
And he'll be big and strong,
The man I love;
And when he comes my way,
I'll do my best to make him stay.
He'll look at me and smile--
I'll understand;
And in a little while
He'll take my hand;
And though it seems absurd,
I know we both won't say a word.
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday,
Maybe Monday -- maybe not;
Still I'm sure to meet him one day--
Maybe Tuesday
Will be my good news day.
He'll build a little home
Just meant for two;
From which I'll never roam--
Who would? Would you?
And so all else above,
I'm waiting for
The look of love
Is in your eyes
The look your smile cant disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Youve got the look of love
Its on your face
A look that time cant erase
Be mine tonight
Let this be just the start
Of so many nights like this
Lets take a lovers vow
And then seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Dont ever go
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Dont ever go
Dont ever go
A bird is born to fly, born for the moment, it takes to the sky
And all its dreams are riding on its wings
But if it falls, the dreams aren't broken
As long as the wind is fair, the sky is always there
Oh, the girl who used to be me, she could fly, she was free
You could read by the light of her smile
Yes, the girl who used to be me used to go dancing
She's been gone such a long, long while
She left without a sound, nobody noticed she wasn't around
And only the moon remembers her at all
The days go by, you start asking questions
And wondering why, why did the dreams all go?
I guess it's time to know
Oh, the girl who used to be me, she could fly, she was free
And she wrote all the words to her song
Yes, this girl who used to be me, used to go dancing
And I feel she's been gone too long
I'd like the chance to be the girl who used to be me, oh
Maybe you know the reason that I love you
Maybe you don't but I don't really care
Maybe you see the forests for the trees, babe
Maybe you see the things that I don't dare
Whatever it is, we're together that's enough for me
Don't need no questions or answers your love's enough, you see
What ever it is, we're together and that's how love should be
Don't need nobody to tell me, your love's enough for me
Maybe I know just how to turn you on, babe
Maybe I know just how to make you smile
Maybe I don't quite know what's right from wrong, babe
Maybe we'll find out in a little while
Whatever it is, we're together that's enough for me
Don't need no questions or answers your love's enough, you see
What ever it is, we're together and that's how love should be
Don't need nobody to tell me, your love's enough for me
Whatever it is, we're together that's enough for me
Don't need no questions or answers your love is enough, you see
What ever it is, we're together and that's how love should be
Don't need nobody to tell me, your love's enough for me
Whatever it is, we're together your love is enough for me
Don't need no questions or answers your love is enough, you see
What ever it is, we're together and that's how love should be
Don't need nobody to tell me, your love is enough
Your love's enough for me, your love's enough for me
Your love's enough for me whatever it is, babe
Your love's enough for me, whoa, yeah
Your love's enough for me
(It's so supernatural)
Maybe you know the reason why I love you
(Your love's enough for me)
Maybe you don't but I don't really care
(Your love's enough for me)
Your love's enough for me, hmm
We ought to go away
To that secret place
Why don't we leave today
To that secret place?
We ought to go away
To that secret place
Why don't we leave today
For that secret place?
A paradise all [Incomprehensible]
With the sand and the waves so blue
A beautiful amber sky
No one there but you and I
We ought to go away
To that secret place
Why don't we leave today
For that secret place?
We ought to go away
To that secret place
Why don't we leave today
For that secret place?
We ought to go away
To that secret place
Why don't we leave today
For that secret place?
We ought to go away
To that secret place
Why don't we leave today
On a night so right for love,
where a silver moon is shining
In the shadow of the willow
I fell for you.
Who could write this storyline
Who could paint this perfect picture
They say love is blind, for us it came as no surprise
You and I had stars in our eyes.
Just a tough or knowing glance
We had learned to trust each other
In the midst of our romance,
we held on so tight
If I had my chance again
maybe I would see the danger
Guess I'd make the same mistakes
It's hard to be young and wise
when all you see is stars in your eyes
On this night I wait alone
from a silver moon I'm minding
Like the shadow or the willow
I weep for you
People say I'm over you
They say times are perfect enough
Why do I still long for you
with stars in my eyes
When I have no tears left to cry
Maybe after all love is blind
There's a somebody I'm longing 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 handome
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
Although he may not
Be the man some girls think of as handome
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
if I believed in paradise
I'd swear I must be there
I'd swear I must be there right now with you
if I believed in miracles
I'd know that one was happening to me
but if I don't believe in paradise
and miracles aren't real
then someone tell me
what is this I feel
I wanna believe it's love this time
I wanna believe my heart's not telling me a lie
but with you I can't deny
that if I believed in paradise
I'd swear I'm there
if I believed in magic spells
it all would be so clear
a magic spell must have brought you here
if I could see the future
I'd see if you and I were meant to be
but I don't know any magic
and tomorrow's just a dream
then something in this fantasy is real
(repeat chorus)
I wanna believe it's love this time
I wanna believe my heart's not telling me a lie
I wanna believe it's love
I wanna believe my heart's not telling me a lie
but with you I can't deny
that if I believed in paradise
I'd swear I'm there
I'm there
I'm there
Pressure slowly buildin' like a sky about to rain
Somethin' so electric in the air
All this time we?re killin' only leads us back again
To the feeling that?s been waitin? for us here
It?s too late to be cautious
If it?s a mistake, it?s one we?re meant to make
Shoot the moon
?Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot the moon
There?s no way that the stars can refuse
Feel the tiger stalkin? in the jungle of the heart
Hungry for the tender and the warm
We can keep on talkin? but as long as we?re apart
The feelin' just can?t break into a storm
Take a chance when the music is playing
You dance, there?s no reason we can?t
Shoot the moon
?Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot the moon
There?s no way that the stars can refuse
Finding you here
Had the odds of a million to one
And you?re the one
Now, it?s up to us to finish what fate has begun
Take a chance when the music is playing
You dance, there?s no reason we can?t
Shoot the moon
?Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot the moon
There?s no way that the stars can refuse
Shoot the moon
(There?s nothin' standin' in our way)
?Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot the moon
(It?s just the chance we have to take)
There?s no way that the stars can refuse
Shoot the moon
(There?s nothin' standin' in our way)
?Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot the moon
(It?s just the chance we have to take)
There?s no way that the stars can refuse
Shoot the moon
(There?s nothin' standin' in our way)
?Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot the moon
(It?s just the chance we have to take)
Don't you know that I want to be more than just your friend
Holdin' hands is fine, but I've got better things on my mind
You know it could happen if you'd only see me in a different light
Maybe when we finally get together, you will see that I was right
Say you love me, you know that it could be nice
If you'd only say you love me, don't treat me like I was lice
Please love me, I'll be yours and you'll be mine
If you'd only say you love me, baby, things would really work out fine
Don't you know that I want to be more than just your friend

If you'd only say you love me, don't treat me like I was lice

If you'd only say you love me, baby, things would really work out fine
Now baby, would you say you love me, you know that it could be nice
If you'd only say you love me, don't treat me like I was lice
Please love me, I'll be yours and you'll be mine
If you'd only say you love me, darlin', things would really work out fine
Baby, would you say you love me
Baby, would you say you love me
Say that you love me

If you'd only say you love me, darlin', things would really work out fine
Cigarette holder which wigs me
over his shoulder, he digs me.
He's cattin' that satin doll.
Baby, can't we go out steppin ?
Careful, amigo, you're trippin',
speaks Latin that satin doll.
He's nobody's fool so
I'm playing it cool as can be.
I'll gonna give it a whirl
but I ain't for no guy catching me,
swich-e-rooney.
Telephone numbers well you know,
doing my rhumbas with uno
and that'n my satin doll.
(repeat)
speaks Latin that satin doll.
I was lost, filled with hesitation
Without a plan, no determination
Until we met, you were my salvation
And now I know
There's nothing I can't do in my life
As long as I have you in my life
You let me see the strength I have so deep inside
Now I believe, I know that I can
Reach, reach for a shining new tomorrow
Reach, reach for a better day, a better day
Reach, reach for something higher, something brighter
Reach for the love, reach for the love
And when I rise a brighter love is shining
And everyday I'm gonna keep on trying
And though the road is sometimes long and winding
Come walk with me
Every step of the way and my life
Is better every day, yes, my life
Is better for the deeper love you've shown to me
Now I believe, I know that I can
Reach, reach for a shining new tomorrow
Reach, reach for a better day, a better day, yeah
Reach, reach for something higher, something brighter
Reach for the love, reach for the love, reach out for the love
Reach
Reach out, reach out, reach out
Reach out, reach out, reach out
Reach out, reach out, yeah
Well, I know that my life
Is better every day, yes, my life
Is better for the deeper love you've shown to me
Now I believe, I know that I can
Reach, reach for a sunny new tomorrow
Reach, reach for a better day, a better day, yeah
Reach, reach for something higher, something brighter
Reach for the love, reach out for the love
Reach, reach, a brighter day tomorrow
Reach, reach gotta have better day, a better day, yeah
Reach, reach, need something higher and brighter
Reach for the love, reach for the love, yeah
Reach, reach, you were my salvation
Reach, reach, I have no determination
Reach, reach, I was filled with hesitation
Reach for the love
I want you to reach, reach
Reach, reach
Reach, reach
Reach for the love
I want you to reach, reach
Its very clear, our love is here to stay
Not for a year, but forever and a day
The radio and the telephone,
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies
And in time may go
But, oh my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long long way
In time the Rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay
-instrumental-
But oh, oh my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long long way
In time the Rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay
Its here to stay
Its here to stay
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
Madam Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
And she's sorry to be delayed
But last evening down at lover's lane she strayed
Madam Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
When she woke up and found that her dream of love was gone
Madam, she ran to the man who had lead her so far astray
(So far astray)
And from under her velvet gown
She drew a gun and shot her lover down
(Yes she did, she shot him)
Madam Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
When the mob came and got her and dragged her from the jail
Madam, they strung her up on the willow across the way
(Yes they did)
(But you know that) just before she died
(I was there and I saw it, yes I did)
She lifted up her lovely head and cried
"Madam, Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch
I wanna say I love you
I wanna say I care
Even though you may not feel the same
I'm not afraid to wait
'Cause I know you'll change
Love ends and so love begins my friend
Love me again
If love were a road, I'd be walking
If you would steal the key, I'd be home
Open your heart and let me walk in
Open up your eyes and love me again
Love ends and so love begins my friend
Love me again, love me again
I don't want to be always trying to make you see
I've listened to the doubts on your mind
You have to know that changes what will keeps us strong
And that my independence doesn't have to be wrong
Let me be me, whatever that means
Don't see this change as a threat on our love
Let me be me, leaving's not on my mind
But no restrictions please, let me be me, let me be me
I'm choosing ways that sometime cause you pain
The girl that I once was is gone, now the woman remains
You feel in the truth what that I'm stronger than I was before
But baby that don't mean that I don't need you anymore
Let me be me, whatever that means
Don't see this change as a treat on our love
Let me be me, leaving's not on my mind
But no restrictions please, let me be me, let me be me
Accused of not being myself, here's what I think about that
Nobody knows me better than I know me
Accused of not being myself, here's what I think about that
Nobody knows me better than I know me
Let me be me, whatever that means
Don't see this change as a threat on our love
Let me be me, leaving's not on my mind
But no restrictions please, let me be me, let me be me
Whatever that means
Don't see this change as a threat on our love
Let me be me, leaving's not on my mind
But no restrictions please, let me be me, let me be me
This ain't a threat on our love, baby
Let me be me, leaving's not on my mind, oh
It's a lazy afternoon
And the beetle bugs are zooming
And the tulip trees are blooming
And there's not another human in view,
But us two
It's a lazy afternoon
And the farmer leaves his reaping
And the meadow cows are sleeping
And the speckled trouts stop leaping up stream
As we dream
A far pink cloud hangs over the hill
Unfolding like a rose
If you hold my hand and sit real still,
You can hear the grass as it grows
It's a hazy afternoon
And i know a place that's quiet, except for daisies running riot
And there's no one passing by it to see
I've seen the many shades of love in my life
Until I met you no one shined so bright
Some say that passion can't survive for very long
But I get this feeling you and I can make them wrong
'Cause it's gonna be special
This love for you and me, just wait and see
It's gonna be special
It's written in the stars and here we are
It's gonna be special
Gonna be special
I promise
We'll find a way to keep the thrill in our touch
We'll have tomorrow 'cause we know there's no rush
Out in the street we'll feel the beat of our hearts
The night is ours, so let the celebration start
'Cause it's gonna be special
This love for you and me, wait and see
It's gonna be special
It's written in the stars and here we are
It's gonna be special
Gonna be special
Darling, I've been waiting for you, now that you are here
It is extraordinary, boy, and is it clear
Special, gonna be special
'Cause it's gonna be special
This love for you and me, just wait and see
You know it's gonna be special
It's written in the stars and here we are, here we are
Gonna be special
This love for you and me, that's the way it's gonna be
It's gonna be special
It's written up in the stars, baby, baby, here we are
It's gonna be special
This love for you and me, you gotta wait, you gotta wait and see
It's gonna be special
It's written up in the stars and you know here we are, here we are
It's gonna be special
Gonna be special
Time, I've been passing time watching trains go by
All of my life
Lying on the sand watching seabirds fly
Wishing there could be someone
Waiting home for me
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
All of my life
Looking back as lovers go walking past
All of my life
Wondering how they met and what makes it last
If I found the place would I recognize the face
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
So many quiet walks to take
So many dreams to wake and there's so much love to make
I think we’re gonna need some time
Maybe all we need is time
And it's telling me it might be you
All of my life
I've been saving love songs and lullabies
And there's so much more
No one's ever heard before
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it must be you and
I'm feeling it'll just be you
All of my life
It's you, it's you I've been waiting for all of my life
Although music is sweet
But the song incomplete
Now in my life,
Boy in my life
Something is missing
It's the truth, yes it's true
Still there's no me and you
Here in my life
Boy in my life
Something is missing
In my life there ain't no melody oh no
In my life there ain't no harmony
To let me sing a song
All I need is a cue when I'm waiting for you
Boy in my life
You are the melody
Coz in my life
You are the song
Baby, in my life
You are the song
You are my melody
To me baby, in my life
Sunshine, that is what I try to follow
Long time, searching for a new tomorrow
I'm always in and out of love
Dawning, love is always round the corner
Working, trying to fill a special order
Still falling in and out of love
Now I know just how I want to be
I know what makes me happy
Looking for my soul, started getting old
I found my way, I found my heart
Now my life can really start
Journey, looking for someone to please me
Now I see, pleasing's got to start here with me
Still I fall in and out of love
Now I know just how I want to be
I know what makes me happy
Looking for my soul, started getting old
Found my way, found my heart
Now my life can really start
Journey, looking for someone to please me
Now I see, pleasing's got to start here with me
Still I fall in and out of love
Doin' it so good, making it so tight
Trying it out now, making it feel alright
Doin' it so good, making it so tight
Trying it out now, making it feel alright
Doin' it so good, making it so tight
Trying it out now, making it feel alright
Doin' it so good, making it so tight
Trying it out now, making it feel alright
Doin' it so good, making it so tight
Trying it out now, making it feel alright
Doin' it so good, making it so tight
Verse One
All you preachers
Who delight in panning the dancing teachers,
Let me tell you there are a lot of features
Of the dance that carry you through
The gates of Hea-ven.
It's madness
To be always sitting around in sadness,
When you could be learning the steps of gladness.
You'll be happy when you can do
Just six or seven;
Begin to day!
You'll find it nice,
The quickest way to paradise.
When you practise,
Here's the thing to know,
Simply say as you go...
Chorus
I'll build a stairway to Paradise
With a new step ev'ry day !
I'm gonna get there at any price;
Stand aside, I'm on my way !
I've got the blues
And up above it's so fair.
Shoes ! Go on and carry me there !
I'll build a stairway to Paradise
With a new step ev'ry day.
Verse Two
Ev'ry new step
Helps a bit ; but any old kind of two step,
Does as well. It don't matter what step you step,
If you work it into your soul
You'll get to Heaven.
Get bu-sy ;
Dance with Maud the countess, or just plain Lizzy:
Dance until you're blue in the face and dizzy.
When you've learn'd to dance in your sleep
You're sure to win out.
In time you'll get Saint Vitus dance,
Which beats the latest thing from France.
Take no chances on this Paradise ;
Let me give you advice.
My love must be a kind of blind love
I cant see anyone but you
And dear, I wonder if you find love
An optical illusion, too?
Are the stars out tonight?
I dont know if its cloudy or bright
cause I only have eyes for you, dear
The moon may be high
But I cant see a thing in the sky
cause I only have eyes for you.
I dont know if were in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am i
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
I've been listening to the sounds of the night
Waiting for you to come around and hold me tight
I've been wanting you right here by my side
I don't care what you gotta do
Just get here in a rush
Every part of me aches for you
Keeps getting stronger, I hunger, I long for you touch
Hurry home, I'm counting the minutes until you are in my arms
Hurry home as fast as you can baby
I'll be here, ready to hold you, don't take it slow
Won't you hurry home to me?
I miss the way you laugh off the blues
The way you're there to listen when I need you to
And baby how I'm needing you now
I know that you'll be coming soon
It's taking way too long
I asked the man up in the moon
Send you to me, instantly, back to where you belong
Hurry home, I'm counting the minutes until you are in my arms
Hurry home as fast as you can, baby
And I'll be here, waiting to hold you so don't be slow
Won't you hurry home to me?
And when you come back
When you walk through the door
Gonna show some love, boy
I'll hold you like never, like never, never before
Hurry home, I'm counting the minutes until you are in my arms
Hurry home as fast as you can, baby
And I'll be here, waiting to hold you so don't be slow
Won't you hurry home, hurry?
Hurry home, I'm counting the minutes until you are in my arms
Hurry home just as fast as you can, hurry home
Hurry home, I'm counting the minutes until you are in my arms
Hurry home, you know I need you to hurry home
Hurry home, I'm counting the minutes until you are in my arms
Hurry home just as fast as you can
Hurry home, I'm counting the minutes until you are in my arms
Come along, hurry home
Hurry, hurry home, boy
Hurry, hurry home, boy
Come on, hurry home
Hurry home
Hurry home, I'm counting the minutes until you are in my arms
Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's Heaven
How high the moon
There is no moon above
When love is far away too
Till it comes true
That you love me as I love you
Somewhere, yeah, there's Heaven
It's where you are
Somewhere there's music
How near, how far?
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon
Somewhere, yeah, there's music
It's where you are
Somewhere there's Heaven
How near, how far?
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me too
Till it comes true
That you love me as I love you
Somewhere, yeah, there's Heaven
It's where you are
Somewhere there's music
How near, how far?
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon
'How High The Moon' is the name of the song
'How High The Moon' though the words may be wrong
We're singin' it because you asked for it
So we're swingin' it just for you
How high the moon, does it touch the stars?
How high the moon, does it reach up to Mars?
Though the words may be wrong to this song
You ask me how high, high, high, high, high is the moon
Though the words may be wrong to this song
We're askin' how high, high, high
Every honey bee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don’t blame them, goodness knows
My honeysuckle rose
Flowers droop and sigh when you're passing by
And I know the reason why
You’re much sweeter, goodness knows
You’re my honeysuckle rose
I don’t buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You’re my sugar
It’s so sweet when you stir it up
On the avenue, people look at you
And I know just why they do
You’re much sweeter, goodness knows
You’re my honeysuckle rose
Every honey bee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
You’re much sweeter, goodness knows
You’re my honeysuckle rose
Oh, flowers droop and sigh when you're passing by
And I know the reason why
You’re much sweeter, goodness knows
You’re my honeysuckle rose
And I don’t buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You’re my sugar
It’s so sweet when you stir it up
On the avenue, people look at you
And I know just why they do
You’re much sweeter, goodness knows
You’re my honeysuckle rose
You’re much sweeter, goodness knows
Sweet and pure that's for sure
And you'll always know
When you're hearing Ella sing
Cool and hot bobble your back
If you're not grooving then you are not
Hearing Ella sing
She sang with Bing and Frank and Nat
On everything from jazz to scat
You bet your bottom dollar that you want to swing
Hearing Ella sing
Hear that bard then that word
Ain't no sound like the one you've heard
Hearing Ella sing
Hear that throat, bend that note
You'll hear more than the right or wrong
Hearing Ella sing, yeah
With boo, du, bado, yadoo, la, boo, do, bop
She broke all the records at the record shop
And no one's gonna ever stop remembering
Hearing Ella sing
Oh, this old black day is for my Ella
Let it flow, let her know
Man, we can still hear Ella all around us
Ella, Ella we will never let you go
That's for Ella, let it flow, oh, let her know
Oh you know we can, we can, still hear Ella all around us
Come on, come on, come on you gotta let her know
Oh, Miss Fitzgerald we will never let you go
In old Savannah, I said Savannah,
The weather there is nice and warm!
The climates of a Southern brand,
But here's what I don't understand:
They got a gal there, a pretty gal there,
Who's colder than an Arctic storm,
Got a heart just like a stone,
Even ice men leave her alone!
They call her Hard Hearted Hannah,
The vamp of Savannah,
The meanest gal in town;
Leather is tough, but Hannah's heart is tougher,
She's a gal who loves to see men suffer!
To tease 'em, and thrill 'em, to torture and kill 'em,
Is her delight, they say,
I saw her at the seashore with a great big pan,
There was Hannah pouring water on a drownding man!
She's Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah, GA!
They call her Hard Hearted Hannah,
The vamp of Savannah,
The meanest gal in town;
Talk of your cold, refrigeratin' mamas,
Brother, she's a polar bear's pajamas!
To tease 'em, and thrill 'em, to torture and kill 'em,
Is her delight, they say,
An evening spent with Hannah sittin' on your knees,
Is like travelin' through Alaska in your BVDs.
She's Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah, GA!
Can you imagine a woman as cold as Hannah
She's got the right name, The vamp of Savannah
Any time a woman can take a great big pan
And start pouring water on a drownin' man
She's hard hearted Hannah
The Vamp of Savannah GA

Baby, never stop
Gonna be the fantasy in your dreams
Wanna feel the thrill of your body heat
When I look into my heart I feel
All of the hurt that was there
Then I look into your eyes and see
All of the joys that we've both shared
I don't wanna wish for love too hard
But now all my dreams are of you
And if dreams come true
Then you'll be my first time love
There were moments before when I thought it was love
But I know that it wasn't nearly enough
It's so hard to remember my sad yesterdays
And from now to December it's Christmas always
You know that it's true
Yes, you are my first time love
Well, there may have been a few before
But you are my first time love
And nobody else could want you more than I do
'Cause it's you that I love
Yes, it's you that I love and never more again
Could there be a better friend
Oh, I had my wish, now my wish has come true
I needed some love and then there was you
Couldn't ask for more
'Cause you are my first time love
It's so hard to remember my sad yesterdays
And from now to December it's Christmas always
You know that it's true
Yes, you are my first time love
Well, there may have been a few before
But you are my first time love
And nobody else could want you more than I do
'Cause it's you that I love
Yes, it's you that I love and never more again
Could there be a better friend
Oh, I had my wish, now my wish has come true
I needed some love and then there was you
Couldn't ask for more
'Cause you are my first time love
You are my first time love
You got a way of loving me
but I just don't get it
I must be out of my mind
You got a way of holding me
and it's so dramatic
Sometimes I just want to cry
'cause it scares me, boy, when you get so close
and I'm feeling too many feelings
No I never wanted to show I care
so I lied to you, I lied to you
(chorus)
Don't go away and break my heart
and leave me all alone
Don't go away and take my heart,
what can I do, I'm losing you
Don't go away
I've never really known what's best
and it keeps me running
away from what's in my heart
I've always put you to the test
Now it seems I've done it
The love you felt from the start, baby,
maybe you could give me another chance
let me show you the love you're leaving
it's not fair to live through my past romance
so I'm pleading, I'm pleading
(chorus)
I'm losing you
No I never wanted to show I care
so I'm pleading, I'm pleading
(chorus)
Now you say you're lonely
You cried the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cause i cried, i cried, i cried a river over you
You drove me,
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was to plebeian
Told me you were through with me
Now you say, you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me..
And now, now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do..
Come on!
And cry cry cry me a river...
Cry me a river
Cause i cried a river over you
If my pillow could talk
Imagine what it would have said
Could it be a river of tears i cried in bed
So you can cry me a river
GO a head and cry that river
Cause i cried, how i cried a river over you
Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all, that children call
Their favorite time of year
Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share
Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
Families drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
Families drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Sometimes I drive so fast even I get scared
Some things they never last
Where's the love we shared?
Is it dead?
I guess I'll never learn how to keep a man
Knowin' when my back is turned
He'll do what he can
To love another woman
I was, captivated by your smile
Motivated for a while, was it wishful thinkin'
That you would be sincere
That you would be, captivated
Yes, I know I drive too fast
Yes, I'm easily led
Knowin' that won't change the past
Even, even when I'm dead
I was, captivated by your smile
Motivated for a while, was it wishful thinkin'
That you would be sincere
That you would be, captivated
Captivated, captivated
I was, captivated by your smile
Motivated for a while, was it wishful thinkin'
That you would be sincere
That you would be, captivated
Captivated, captivated, captivated
Captivated, captivated
Captivated by your smile
Old man sunshine listen you
Never tell me dreams come true
Just try it and I'll start a riot
Beatrice Fairfax don't you dare
Ever tell me he will care
I'm certain it's the final curtain
I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyannas
Who tell you fate supplies a mate
It's all bananas
They're writing songs of love,
But not for me;
The lucky star's above,
But not for me.
With love to lead the way,
I've found more skies of gray
Than any Russian play
Could guarantee.
I was a fool to fall
And get that way.
Heigh ho! Alas! And also, lackaday!
Although I can't dismiss
The mem'ry of his kiss
I guess he's not for me.
Although I can't dismiss
The mem'ry of his kiss
Baby Come To Me
Thinkin' back in time
When love was only in the mind
I realize
Ain't no second chance
You got to hold on to romance
Don't let it slide
There's a special kind of magic in the air
When you find another heart that needs to share
Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I'm oh so glad I found you
Need you everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby always stay
'Cause I can't go back to living without you
Spendin' every dime
To keep you talkin' on the line
That's how it was
And all those walks together
Out in any kind of weather
Just because
There's a brand new way of looking at your life
When you know that love is standing by your side
Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I'm oh so glad I found you
Need you everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby always stay
'Cause I can't go back to living without you
The night can be cold
There's a chill to every evening when you're all alone
Don't talk anymore
'Cause you know that I'll be here to keep you warm
Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I'm oh so glad I found you
Need you everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby always stay
Come to me
This was meant to be
Need you everyday
Baby always stay
I can't go back to living without you
Without you
Hey, I'm so sorry
that it didn't work the way
that we'd always planned
Hey, I'm so sorry
that you went away
and somehow didn't understand
We pretended for so many years, but now
its time to wash away my tears
CHORUS
Cause/And it's all behind us now
cause we've learned to live somehow without
each other
And its easy to see, it ain't never
gonna be the same again
And its all behind us now
cause we found a way to live without
each other
And in time we'll have to see
If its ever gonna be that way again
ohh......
Hey, I'm so sorry
that I couldn't find the words
that might have made you stay
and hey, it's so funny
how we both can say the same thing in a
different way
We pretended for so many years,
but now its over baby
and so are my tears
repeat chorus
I was holdin' out for far too long
But now I finally found where I belong
Everybody's thinking
thinking pretty hard
Everybody's thinkin'
about singin' from the heart
If you want my opinion
it doesn't mean a thing
if you haven't got that ability to swing
The ability to swing
Everybody workin'
workin' pretty hard
Everbody workin'
at singin' from the heart
If you want my opinion
it isn't worth a bean
if you haven't got that
ability to swing
The ability to swing
Dreams, take them away
Got it alone
Honey, Rome wasn't built in a day
But, now it's a ruin
The joke has worn thin
And it isn't cool to abuse the ability to swing
Oh no!
Everbody' talking
talkin' pretty loud
Everbody lookin'
to stand out from the crowd
Gonna break it to you bucko
It isn't worth a bean
if you ain't in possession
of the ability to swing
The ability to swing
Friends send them away
Go it alone honey, Rome wasn't built in a day
Now it's a ruin
The joke has worn thin
And it isn't cool to abuse
the ability to swing
SCAT...
But, each beat take me deeper under
Each beat sends me more to sleep
Heart melts ice and heart spells danger
Don't hold your breath boy, 'cause it
don't come cheap, no
Everybody lookin'
lookin' pretty hard
Everybody lookin' for a meaning in my art
Gonna give it to you straight boy
It isn't worth a bean
if you haven't got that ability to swing
The ability to swing
Yeah, the ability to swing
The ability to swing
The ability, the ability
The ability to swing
The ability to swing
The ability to swing
Gonna give it to you straight
Boy, it isn't worth a bean
if you haven't got that ability to swing
The ability to swing
The ability to swing
The ability to swing
Oooh
The ability to swing
A tisket a tasket
A brown and yellow basket
Well, I wrote a letter to my mommie
On the way I dropped it
I dropped it, I dropped it
Yes, on the way I dropped it
A little girlie picked it up
And she put it in her pocket
She was truckin' on down the avenue
Without a single thing to do
She went a-peck, peckin' all around
Then she spied it on the ground
She took it, she took it
My little yellow basket
And if she doesn't bring it back
I think that I will die
A tisket a tasket
You know I lost my yellow basket
And if that girlie don't return it
I don't know what I'll do
Oh gee, I wonder where my basket can be?
So do we, so do we, so do we
Oh gee, I wish that little girlie I could see
So do we, so do we, so do we
I did not take care of that little basket of mine
Oh, that itty-bitty basket was a joy of mine
A tisket a tasket
I lost my yellow basket
Won't someone help me find my basket
And make me happy again, again?
Was it blue? No, no, no, no
Was it green? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Was it Prada? Oh, that's not fair
