I wandered the streets and the gay crowded places
Trying to forget you but somehow it seems
My thoughts ever stray to our last sweet embraces
Over the sea on the Island of Dreams
High in the sky is the bird on the wing
Please carry me with you
Far far away from the mad rushing crowd
Please carry me with you
Again I would wander where memories infold me
There on the beautiful Island of Dreams
High in the sky is the bird on the wing
Please carry me with you
Far far away from the mad rushing crowd
Please carry me with you
Again I would wander where memories infold me
There on the beautiful Island of Dreams
Far far away on the Island of Dreams
There's a new world somewhere
they call the promised land.
And I'll be there someday
if you could hold my hand.
I still need you there beside me
no matter what I do
for I know I'll never find another you.
There is always someone
for each of us, they say.
And you'll be my someone
forever and a day.
I could search the whole world over
until my life is through
but I know I'll never find another you.
It's a long, long journey
so stay by my side.
When I walk through the storm
you'll be my guide, be my guide.
If they gave me a fortune
my virtue would be small.
I could lose it all tomorrow
and never mind at all.
But if I should lose your love, dear,
I don't know what I'd do
for I know I'll never find another you.
But if I should lose your love, dear,
I don't know what I'd do.
For I know I'll never find another you.
Another you.
Another you!
I can't seem to get my sleep now any old night,
Mr Sandman passes by my door;
Life has changed since you've been there to say it's alright,
You taught me to understand what I thought couldn't be,
Don't mind missing sleep if I can see:
Colours of my life,
You've got love to fill my heart;
I don't need a rainbow
With colours of my life,
Colours of my life.
Colours blend with love to show I'm happy with you,
I can never be the same again;
Now my eyes are looking past the life that I knew,
I'll be shedding black and grey to take on red and blue,
Colours I can feel by touching you:
Colours of my life,
Bloom like flowers in my heart;
I don't need a rainbow
With colours of my life,
Colours of my life.
Colours of my life,
Bloom like flowers in my heart;
I don't need a rainbow
With colours of my life,
Colours of my life,
Colours of my life.
Cloudy -- the sky is grey and white and cloudy
Sometimes I think it's hanging down on me
And it's a hitch-hike a hundred miles
I'm a ragamuffin child
Pointed finger, painted smile
I left my shadow waitin' down the road for me a while
Cloudy -- my thoughts are scattered and they're cloudy
They have no borders, no boundaries
They echo and they swell
From Tolstoy to Tinkerbell
Down from Berkley to Carmell
Got some poems in my pocket
And a lot of time to kill
Hey sunshine
I haven't seen you in a long time
Why don't you show your face and bend my mind?
These clouds stick to the sky
Like a floating question why
And they linger there or die
They don't know where they're going
And, my friend, neither do I
Cloudy (repeat and fade)
It's a lesson too late for the learnin',
Made of sand, made of sand.
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'
In your hand, in your hand.
Chorus:
Are you goin' away with no word of farewell?
Will there be not a trace left behind?
I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind;
Oh, you know that was the last thing on my mind.
You had reasons a-plenty for goin',
This I know, this I know.
And the weeds have been steadily growin',
Please don't go, please don't go.
(Chorus)
As I lie in my bed in the mornin',
Without you, without you,
Every song in my heart dies a-bornin',
Without you, without you.
(Chorus)
Oh, you know that was the last thing on my mind.
Just a little rain, falling all around;
The grass lifts its head to the heavenly sound;
Just a little rain, just a little rain,
What have they done to the rain?
Chorus:
Just a little boy, standing in the rain,
The gentle rain that falls for years,
And the grass is gone, the boy disappears,
The rain keeps falling like helpless tears,
And what have they done to the rain?
Just a little breeze, out of the sky;
The leaves pat their hands as the breeze blows by;
Just a little breeze with some smoke in its eye;
What have they done to the rain?
(Chorus)
What have they done to the rain?
Slow down, you move too fast;
You got to make the morning last;
Just kickin' down the cobblestones,
Lookin' for fun, and feelin' groovy.
Hello, lamppost, whatcha knowin'?
I've come to watch your flowers growin'.
Ain'tcha got no rhymes for me?
Dootin'-doo-doo-doo, feelin' groovy.
Ba da da da da da da, feelin' groovy.
Got no deeds to do, no promises to keep;
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep;
Let the mornin' time drop all its petals on me.
Life, I love you, all is groovy.
Slow down, you move too fast;
You got to make the morning last;
Just kickin' down the cobblestones,
Lookin' for fun, and feelin' groovy.
Ba da da da da da da, feelin' groovy.
(Repeat and fade)
When first we left old England's shores, such yarns as we were told,
As how folks in Australia could pick up lumps of gold.
So when we got to Melbourne Town, we were ready soon to slip,
And get even with the captain, we scuttled from the ship.
Chorus:
With my swag all on my shoulder, black billy in my hand,
I travelled the bush of Australia like a true-born native man.
We steered our course for Portland Town, then north-west of Ballarat,
Where some of us got mighty thin, and some got sleek and fat.
Some tried their luck at Bendigo and some at Fiery Creek;
I made a fortune in a day and spent it in a week.
(Chorus)
So round the tucker tracks I tramp, nor leave them out of sight;
My swag's on my left shoulder and then upon my right,
And then I take it on my back and oft upon it lie;
These are the best of tucker tracks, so I'll stay here till I die.
(Chorus)

As I went a-walkin' on Kilgary Mountain,
I spied Colonel Pepper, and his money he was countin';
I rattled out my pistols and I drew forth my saber,
Cryin', "Stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver."
Chorus:
Musha rig um du rum da,
Whack fol the daddy o,
Whack fol the daddy o,
There's whisky in the jar.
The gold and silver coins, they looked so bright and shiny,
Oh, I took them home straightway, and I gave 'em to my Molly;
She vowed and she promised that she never would deceive me,
But the devil's in the women, oh, you never can believe 'em.
(Chorus)
But when I awoke between six and seven,
The guards were all around me in numbers odd and even;
I reached for my pistols, but alas, I was mistaken;
My pistols had been fired, and a prisoner I was taken.
(Chorus)
They put me in the jail without judge or writin',
For robbing Colonel Pepper, oh, on Kilgary Mountain,
But they didn't take my fists, so I knocked the sentry down,
And bade farewell to the jail in Sligo town.
(Chorus)
Some people take delight in fishin' and in bowlin';
Oh, others take delight in the carriages a-rollin';
But I take delight in the juice of the barley,
And courtin' pretty girls 'til the morning so early.
As I went a-walkin' on Kilgary Mountain,
I spied Colonel Pepper, and his money he was countin';
I rattled out my pistols and I drew forth my saber,
Cryin', 'Stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver.'

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree.
He sang and he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled,
'You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.'
Waltzing Matilda, Matilda, my darlin',
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.
He sang and he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled,
'You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.'
Well, down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong;
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee.
He laughed as he stowed the jumbuck in his tucker-bag,
'You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.'
Waltzing Matilda, Matilda, my darlin',
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.
He laughed as he stowed the jumbuck in his tucker-bag,
'You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.'
Well, up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred;
Up rode the troopers -- one, two, three.
'Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag?
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.'
Waltzing Matilda, Matilda, my darlin',
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.
'Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag?
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.'
Well, up jumped the swagman and jumped into the billabong;
'You'll never take me alive,' said he.
His ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong,
'You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.'
Waltzing Matilda, Matilda, my darlin',
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.
His ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong,
'You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.'
The blue sky grows dark now;
You're gone, you're gone.
The good times have gone with you;
You're gone.
No use in me wishing; you're far, far away,
Far away, away, gone from me.
Our love knew two summers,
But now you're gone.
The days pass to winter;
You're gone.
Yet often I've wished that time would stand still,
Time would stand still, still; you're gone from me.
Two summers, two winters,
And the time between;
Yes, those were the good years,
The years of gold and green.
Two summers, two winters,
And the time between;
Yes, those were the good years,
The years of gold and green.
The warm winds grow cold now;
You're gone, you're gone.
My love couldn't hold you;
You're gone.
You were wild as the wind and born to be free,
Born to be free, free,
And gone from me.
And gone from me.
Chorus:
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.
Every day, every day, every day, every way,
Gonna let my little light shine.
Light that shines is the light of love,
Hides the darkness from above,
Shines on me and it shines on you,
Shows you what the power of love can do.
Shine my light both bright and clear,
Shine my light both far and near,
In every dark corner that I find,
Let my little light shine.
(Chorus)
Monday gave me the gift of love,
Tuesday peace came from above,
Wednesday told me to have more faith,
Thursday gave me a little more grace,
Friday told me to watch and pray,
Saturday told me just what to say,
Sunday gave me the power divine
To let my little light shine.
(Chorus twice)
Shine, shine, shine, shine, shine.
They gave him his orders at Monroe, Virginia,
Sayin' "Steve, you're way behind time;
It's 8:38, and it's the Old '97;
Gotta put her into Danville on time."
Chorus:
Well, it's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg down to Danville,
On a line with a three-mile grade;
It was down that line where he lost his air-brakes;
You can see what a jump he made.
Steve Brady he said to his black, greasy fireman,
"Shovel on a little more coal;
I'm waitin' to pass them wide-open mountains;
Gonna see the Old '97 roll."
(Chorus)
He's comin' down that line makin' ninety miles an hour;
The whistle broke into a scream;
They found him in the wreck with his hand upon the throttle;
He'd been scalded to death by steam.
(Chorus)
Well, come on now, all you ladies;
From this time on, now learn;
Don't you ever say harsh words to your true-lovin' husband;
He'll leave you and never return.
(Chorus)
(Instrumental bridge)
Well, he's comin' down that line makin' ninety miles an hour;
And the whistle broke into a scream;
They found him in the wreck with his hand upon the throttle;
He'd been scalded to death by steam.
(Chorus thrice)
What am I to you?
What am I to do?
Now summer's almost through in September.
For love has come and gone,
Didn't stay for long;
One thing I will always remember.
When the green, whispering leaves had called your name,
The gentle, sighing winds, they did the same.
Now the sun has left the sky,
And for no reason why,
A sad cloud is crying tears of rain.
We stood and watched the rain;
Perhaps we will again,
For no one knows what's coming tomorrow.
One day you may find
That I am close behind;
Wherever you may go I will follow.
And the green, whispering leaves will call your name;
The gentle, sighing winds will do the same.
Now the sun is in the sky,
And for no reason why,
The sad cloud is crying itself away.
And the green, whispering leaves will call your name;
The gentle, sighing winds will do the same.
Now the sun is in the sky,
And for no reason why,
The sad cloud is crying itself away.
I hear the music of the world a-turnin';
Can't you hear the sound of the world a-turnin'?
If you stop and listen, you can hear things grow;
You can have music wherever you go.
I hear the music of the world a-turnin';
There are some folks laughin'; there are some folks cryin'.
Kids playin' in the streets sound sweeter than a choir;
All you gotta do is listen to ...
Chorus:
Hear the music of the world a-turnin'
Can't you hear the sweet sound of the world a-turnin'.
If you stop, look, and listen, you can almost hear things grow;
You can have music wherever you go.
I hear a symphony of traffic in the city;
There are horns a-blowin'; there are heels a-clickin'.
Hear those ashcans rattlin' as the sun begins to rise;
All you gotta do is listen to ...
(Chorus)
Windgot a special song for each and every day;
It's got the waves a-dancin' and the thunder clapping.
Now, don't just ignore itÑthere's a concert all around you;
All you gotta do is listen to ...
(Chorus)
You can have music wherever you go.
I should've known you'd bid me farewell;
There's a lesson to be learned from this, and I learned it very well.
Now I know you're not the only starfish in the sea:
If I never hear your name again, it's all the same to me.
Chorus:
And I think it's gonna be all right;
Yeh, the worst is over now;
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball.
You never cared for secrets I'd confide;
To you I'm just an ornament, somethin' for your pride.
Always runnin', never carin', that's the life you live.
Stolen moments of your time were all you had to give.
(Chorus)
The story's in the past, with nothin' to recall;
I've got my life to live, and I don't need you at all.
The rollercoaster ride we took is nearly at an end;
I bought my ticket with my tears; that's all I'm gonna spend.
(Chorus twice)
Whoa, whoa, it's bouncin', and it's shinin' like a red rubber ball.
The joy of love is but a moment long;
The pain of love endures a whole life long.
Your eyes kissed mine; I saw the love in them shine;
You brought me heaven right then when your eyes kissed mine.
My love loves me, and all the wonders I see;
A rainbow shines in my window; my love loves me.
But now he's gone, like a dream that fades into dawn,
But the words stay locked in my heartstrings, "My love loves me."
The joy of love is but a moment long,
The pain of love endures a whole life long.
Chorus:
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen;
Nobody knows my sorrow.
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen;
Glory, Hallelujah!
(Repeat chorus)
Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down;
Oh, yes, Lord.
Sometimes I'm almost to the groun',
Oh, yes, Lord.
(Chorus)
I wish that I could find a way;
Oh, yes, Lord,
But life is just one long, rainy day;
Oh, yes, Lord.
(Chorus)
Glory, Hallelujah!
Chorus:
Myra, Myra, many boats in the harbour;
Gonna go down south and make many fast dollar,
And shake up the party, shake up the party;
Oh, Myra, Myra, many boats in the harbour;
Gonna go down south and make many fast dollar,
And shake up the party, shake up the party.
Myra, go down to the harbour;
I tell you, Myra, go down to the harbour;
Won't you hear me, Myra, go down to the harbour,
'Cause the big white ship pulled in today.
(Chorus)
I no time to see Myra today;
I tell you, no time to see Myra today;
I no time to see Myra today;
'Cause the big white ship, she sail away.
(Chorus)
Oh, yeh! Cajun man, do all he can,
Gotta make a livin'; he's a Louisiana man.
At birth, Mama 'n' Papa called their little boy Ned;
Raised him on the banks of the river bed.
A houseboat tied to a big, tall tree,
A home for my mama and my papa and me.
The clock strikes three, Papa jumps to his feet;
Already Mama's cookin' Papa somethin' to eat.
At half-past, Papa, he's a-ready to go;
He jumps in his bureau headed down the bayou.
Chorus:
He's got a fishin' line strung across a Louisiana river,
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat.
He sets his traps in the swamps, catches anything he can;
Gotta make a livin'; he's a Louisiana man.
Gotta make a livin'; he's a Louisiana man.
Oh, yeh! Cajun man, do all he can,
Gotta make a livin'; he's a Louisiana man.
They call Mama Rita and my daddy Jack;
The little baby brother on the floor is Mack.
Bryn and Lynn are the family twins,
Big brother Ed's on the bayou fishin'.
On the river float Papa's great big boat;
That's how my papa goes into town
Takes ev'ry bit of the night and day
To even reach a place where the people stay.
(Chorus)
I can hardly wait 'til tomorrow comes 'round;
That's the day my Papa takes his furs to town.
Papa said, "Son, we got lines to run.
We come back again, 'cause there's work to be done."
(Chorus)
Oh, yeh! Cajun man, do all he can,
Gotta make a livin'; he's a Louisiana man.
Gotta make a livin'; he's a Louisiana man.
He came from his palace grand;
He came to my cottage door;
His words were few, but his look
Will linger for evermore,
The look in his sad, dark eyes,
More tender than words could be.
But I was nothing to him,
And he was the world to me.
There in her garden she stands,
All dressed in fine satin and lace,
Lady Mary, so cold and so strange;
In his heart she could find no place.
He knew I would be his bride,
With a kiss for a lifetime fee.
But I was nothing to him,
And he was the world to me.
Now in his palace grand,
On a flower-strewn bed he lies.
His beautiful lids are closed
On his sad, dark, beautiful eyes.
And among the mourners who mourn,
Why should I a mourner be?
For I was nothing to him,
And he was the world to me.
For I was nothing to him,
And he was the world to me.
Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya;
Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya;
Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya;
Oh, Lord, kumbaya.
Someone's cryin', Lord, kumbaya;
Someone's cryin', Lord, kumbaya;
Someone's cryin', Lord, kumbaya;
Oh, Lord, kumbaya.
Someone's singin', Lord, kumbaya;
Someone's singin', Lord, kumbaya;
Someone's singin', Lord, kumbaya;
Oh, Lord, kumbaya.
Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya;
Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya;
Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya;
Oh, Lord, kumbaya.
Kumbaya.
When I was a little biddy baby
My mamma would a-rock me in my cradle,
In them old cottonfields back home;
When I was a little biddy baby
My mamma would a-rock me in my cradle,
In them old, old cottonfields back home.
Well it may not sound too funny
But we didn't make a-very much money,
In them old cottonfields back home;
Well it may not sound too funny
But we didn't make a-very much money,
In them old, old cottonfields back home.
Chorus:
Oh when them cotton balls get a-rotten
You couldn't pick a-very much cotton,
In them old cottonfields back home;
I was down in Lousiana
'Round about a mile from a-Texicana,
In them old, old cottonfields back home.
I was down in Arkensaw
People said "What did you come here for?"
From them old cotton fields back home;
I was down in Arkensaw
People said "What did you come here for?"
From them old, old cotton fields back home.
(Chorus)
In them old, old cottonfields back home,
In them old, old cottonfields back home!
Isa Isa vulagi lassa dina
Nomu lako au na rarawa kina
Cava beka ko a mai cakava,
Nomu lako au na sega ni lasa.
Chorus:
Isa Lei, na noqu rarawa,
Ni ki sana vodo e na mataka
Bau nanuma, na nodatou lasa,
Mai Suva nanuma tiko ga.
Vanua rogo na nomuni vanua,
Kena ca ni levu tu na ua,
Lomaqu voli me'u bau butuka
Tovolea ke balavu na bula.
(Chorus)
Domoni dina na nomu yanuyanu,
Kena kau wale na salusalu,
Mocelolo, bua, na kukuwalu,
Lagakali, maba na rosi damu.
(Chorus)
[English Translation]
Isa, Isa you are my only treasure;
Must you leave me, so lonely and foresaken?
As the roses will miss the sun at dawning,
Every moment my heart for you is yearning.
Chorus:
Isa Lei, the purple shadow falling,
Sad the morrow will dawn upon my sorrow;
O, forget not, when you're far away,
Precious moments beside dear Suva.
Isa, Isa, my heart was filled with pleasure,
From the moment I heard your tender greeting;
'Mid the sunshine, we spent the hours together,
Now so swiftly those happy hours are fleeting.
(Chorus)
O'er the ocean your island home is calling,
Happy country where roses bloom in splendour;
O, if I could but journey there beside you,
Then forever my heart would sing in rapture.
(Chorus)
If You Go Away
On this summer day
Then you might as well
Take the sun away
All the birds that flew
In the summer sky
And our love was new
And our hearts were high
When the day was young
And the night was long
And the moon stood still
For the night bird song
If you go away , if you go away, if you go away
But if you stay
I'll make you a day
Like no day has ever been
Or will be again
We'll sail on the sun
We'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees
And worship the wind
But if you go
I'll understand
Leave me just enough love
To fill up my hand
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
If you go waAs i know you must
There'll be nothing left
In the world to trust
Just an empty room
Full of empty space
Like the empty look
I see on your face
Can i tell you now
As you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly
Till your next hello
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away,
But if you stay
I'll make you a night
Like no night has ever been
Or will be again
I'll sail on you smile
I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes
That i love so much
But if you go
I wont cry
For the good has gone from the world
goodbye
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away, if you go away
Looking from my window
On the freshly fallen snow,
It sparkles as it tumbles
Upon the street below,
The crackle of the fire
Is laughing in my ear,
The room is warm and sleepy
And I wish you could be here.
Somedays in this town
There's not a lot for me to do,
I've been listening to some records
And my thoughts return to you,
I tried to read the paper
But the words aren't very clear,
Oh I know there's something missing
And I wish you could be here.
(Instrumental)
I keep listening for your footsteps
Or your key turned in the door,
I sure could use your company
But we've been through that before,
I think the winter's going to last
A long time this year,
I've got empty time to fill
And I wish you could be here.
Chorus:
I done laid around and played around this old town too long.
Summer's almost gone; yes, winter's coming on.
Well, I've laid around and played around this old town too long,
And I feel like I've gotta travel on.
Chilly winds will soon begin, and I'll be on my way;
I'll be on my way; yes, I'm goin' alone some day.
Chilly winds will soon begin, and I'll be on my way,
And I feel like I've gotta travel on.
(Chorus)
I wanna see my honey, I wanna see her bad;
Wanna see her bad, wanna see her bad.
Well, I wanna see my honey, I wanna see her bad;
She's the best gal this poor boy ever had.
(Chorus)
There's a lonesome freight at 6:08, comin' through the town;
Comin' through the town; yes, I'll be homeward bound.
There's a lonesome freight at 6:08, comin' through the town,
And I feel like I've gotta travel on.
(Chorus)
And I feel like I've gotta travel on.
I'll ramble far and wide,
But who knows where I'll be,
Walkin' down some rocky road,
Or sailin' 'cross the sea?
I have no true love,
No girl to leave behind.
It's my life, and I like it;
Don't tell me my mind.
Chorus:
Don't tell me my mind,
Don't tell me that I'm wrong.
Let this song be remembered
When I'm dead and gone.
Don't tell me my mind,
Don't tell me that I'm wrong.
Let this song be remembered when I'm gone.
I'll go and see this world of ours
And all its people too,
From China to America,
Across the oceans blue.
I'll sing about my travels;
Good times I'll surely find.
It's my life, and I like it;
Don't tell me my mind.
(Chorus)
You say I'm kind of foot-loose,
I'll never settle down.
But I don't want to hang around
In this old one-horse town.
I've got so many things to do
And, oh, so little time.
It's my life, and I like it;
Don't tell me my mind.
(Chorus)
Let this song be remembered when I'm gone.
Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountainside;
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling,
It's you, it's you must go, and I must bide.
Chorus:
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow;
It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow;
Oh, Danny Boy, oh, Danny Boy, I love you so.
But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying,
If I am dead, as dead I well may be,
Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying,
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.
(Chorus)
I'm goin' where those chilly winds don't blow, oh baby;
Goin' where those chilly winds don't blow;
I'm goin' where I've never been before, oh baby;
Goin' where those chilly winds don't blow.
*Chilly winds are driving me away, oh baby;
Chilly winds are driving me away;
I'll go and find the sun again someday, oh baby;
Chilly winds are driving me away.
I'm goin' where I'll never have the blues, oh baby;
Goin' where I'll never have the blues;
I'm gonna leave this hammer, leave this line and you, oh baby;
Goin' where I'll never have the blues.
Chilly winds are driving me away, oh baby;
Chilly winds are driving me away;
I'll go and find the sun again someday, oh baby;
Chilly winds are driving me away.
Who's gonna love you when I'm gone,
When I leave this lonesome town?
I'm goin' away to find my home,
Where those chilly winds don't blow.
I'm goin' where those chilly winds don't blow, oh baby;
Goin' where those chilly winds don't blow;
I'm goin' where I've never been before, oh baby;
Goin' where those chilly winds don't blow.
Goin' where those chilly winds don't blow.
Goin' where those chilly winds don't blow.
*Goin' where those chilly winds don't blow.

Chase a rainbow;
Chase a rainbow;
Chase a rainbow.
Chase your rainbow anywhere you find it;
And maybe you'll find it tomorrow.
Love is a rainbow to light up your life;
It's a strong wind that blows away sorrow.
Chorus:
When you walk along a lonely road,
When you're down, and all the world can see,
When you want to run away and hide,
You need someone to believe in -- believe in me.
Chase your rainbow;
Chase your rainbow;
Chase your rainbow;
Chase your rainbow.
Round and round, let your rainbow surround you,
Reflections to colour your day.
You'll find someone to share all your dreams,
Feel your loneliness fading away.
(Chorus)
Chase a rainbow;
Chase your rainbow;
Chase a rainbow;
Chase your rainbow;
Chase a rainbow;
Chase your rainbow.
(Instrumental fade)
(Fade up)
Chase a rainbow;
Chase a rainbow;
Chase a rainbow.
Chase your rainbow anywhere you find it;
And maybe you'll find it tomorrow.
Love is a rainbow to light up your life;

Chorus:
When you walk along a lonely road,
When you're down, and all the world can see,
When you want to run away and hide,
You need someone to believe in -- believe in me.

(Instrumental fade)
Chorus:
Can't make up my mind where you might hide away from me;
Everywhere I've seached, and still I can't make up my mind.
Maybe I'll stay here, maybe I'll go;
I don't know what to do.
It isn't easy seaching around;
I can't believe it's true.
Oh, no, now.
When I awoke I opened my eyes,
And when I turned around,
I found your note pushed under my door;
You'd gone without a sound.
(Chorus)
Can't make up my mind.
So you had gone, no word of farewell;
I didn't realize.
I may have hurt you, I couldn't tell;
It wasn't in your eyes.
(Chorus)
Can't make up my mind.
Can't make up my mind.
Clatter -- the milkman at my doorstep, bustle -- my neighbour at her tea;
In all the world no one's so glad to see the sun as me.
Angeline is always Friday, Angeline is spring forever;
Winter Angeline could never be.
Mister Wilson, old and smiling, lifts his cap as she is passing,
Bowing her politely on to me.
Chorus:
The week has gone its lonely way;
I've waited for my only day
Away from shadows,
In her sunlight I can tell her, "I love you, Angeline."
Angeline is always Friday, suitcase on the rack above;
She hasn't even read her magazine.
Angeline is counting stations, 'til the one where I am standing,
Waiting for my only Angeline.
(Instrumental bridge)
(Chorus)
Clatter -- the milkman at my doorstep, bustle -- my neighbour at her tea;
In all the world no one's so glad to see the sun as me.
Chorus:
Bheir mi oh a ro van oh;
Bheir mi oh a ro van e;
Bheir mi oh a ro ho.
Sad and I without thee.
When I'm lonely dear white heart,
Black the night or wild the sea,
By love's light my foot finds
The old path way to thee.
(Chorus)
Thou art music of my heart,
Harp of joy oh cush mo cree;
Moon of guidance by night,
Strength and light thou art to me.
(Chorus)
All over the world, people must meet and part;
There's someone like me feeling the pain in their heart.
Some may meet again under that same white star,
If maybe some night you come back from afar.
Who cares if tonight I don't know where you are?
Are you thinking of me now,
Missing having me around?
If you have forgotten me,
My world will come tumbling down.
All over the world, others are sad tonight;
There's someone like me watching the sun's fading light.
All over the sky there is the same warm glow;
Here under that star I'm wanting you to know,
Wherever you are, that I still love you so.

Whaur hae ye been, Peggy
Whaur hae ye been?
In the garden 'mong the gillyflooers
'Tween the hours o' twelve and ane
Ye were nae yoursel', Peggy
No' there your lane
Your faither saw ye in Jamie's arms
'Tween the hours o' twelve and ane
Whit though we were seen, mither
Though we were seen?
I would sleep in Jamie's airms
Though his grave was growing green
Your Jamie's a rogue, Peggy
Your Jamie's a loon
For the trysting o' oor ae dochter
And her sae very young
Jamie's noo tae blame, mither
The blame lies on me
For I wad sleep in Jamie's airms
Though a' the world should dee
She's gane tae her ain chaulmer
Jamie was there
I'm blithe tae see ye, Jamie dear
Though we maun meet nae mair
We'll tak' a pairtin' glass, laddie
Pour oot the wine
And since we maun meet nae mair, my love
We'll drink your health and mine
Tak' me in your airms, laddie
Here's kisses five
And since we maun meet nae mair, my love
We'll drink weel may we thrive
Come tae my airms, lassie
Close tae me hairt
And as lang's the sun hangs i' the lift
I swear we'll niver part
Your faither keeps a crawin' cock
Divides nicht frae day
And in the middle watch o' the nicht
In greenwood ye'll meet me
When mass was sung and bell were rung
And a' bound for bed
She's kilted up her gay clothing
Met Jamie in the wood
'Twas early in the morning
The clock chappit twa
Her faither rose up in his bed
Cryin' Peggy, she's awa
They've mounted their horses
And fast they did rin
But lang e'er they wan tae the tap o' the hill
The lad and lass were ane

Hey there, Georgy girl
Swingin' down the street so fancy-free
Nobody you meet could ever see
The loneliness there inside you
Hey there, Georgy girl
Why do all the boys just pass you by?
Could it be you just don't try
Or is it the clothes you wear?
You're always window shopping
But never stopping to buy
So shed those dowdy feathers
And fly a little bit
Hey there, Georgy girl
There's another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide and,
Oh, what a change there'd be
The world would see a new Georgy girl
Hey there, Georgy girl
Dreamin'; of the someone you could be
Life is a reality, you can't always run away
Don't be so scared of changing
And rearranging yourself
It's time for jumping down
From the shelf a little bit
Hey there, Georgy girl
There's another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide and,
Oh, what a change there'd be
The world would see a new Georgy girl
Close the doors, light the lights.
We're stayin' home tonight,
far away from the bustle and the bright city lights.
Let them all fade away.
Just leave us alone.
And we'll live in a world of our own.
We'll build a world of our own
that no one else can share.
All our sorrows we'll leave far behind us there.
And I know you will find
there'll be peace of mind
when we live in a world of our own.
Oh my love, oh my love,
I cried for you so much.
Lonely nights without sleeping while I longed for your touch.
Now your lips can erase
the heartache I've known.
Come with me to a world of our own.
We'll build a world of our own
that no one else can share.
All our sorrows we'll leave far behind us there.
And I know you will find
there'll be peace of mind
when we live in a world of our own.
(musical interlude)
We'll build a world of our own
that no one else can share.
All our sorrows we'll leave far behind us there.
And I know you will find
there'll be peace of mind
when we live in a world of our own.
And I know you will find
there'll be peace of mind
when we live in a world of our own!
