Why is my heart so light
Why are the stars so bright
Why is the sky so blue
Since the hour I met you
Flowers are smiling bright
Smiling for our delight
Smiling so tenderly
For the world, you and me
I know why the world is smiling
Smiling so tenderly
Its just the same old story
Thru all eternity
Love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you
The world cannot be wrong
If in this world there's you
I care not what the world may say
Without your love there is no day
So Love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you
You'll never see a dark cloud hanging 'round me
Now there is only blue sky to surround me
There's never been a gray day since you found me
Everything I touch is turned to gold
CHORUS:
So you can color my world with sunshine yellow each day
Oh you can color my world with happiness all the way
Just take the green from the grass and the blue from the sky up above
And if you color my world, just paint it with your love
Just color my world
Just as long as I know you're thinking of me
There'll be a rainbow always up above me
Since I found the one who really loves me
Everything I touch is turned to gold
(chorus)
Sunshine yellow, orange blossom
Laughing faces everywhere, yeah
(chorus)
Color my world, color my world
There's a certain sound
Always follows me around
When you're close to me
You will hear it
It's the sound that lovers
Finally will discover
When there is no other
For their love
It's my happy heart you hear
Singing loud and singing clear
And it's all because you're near
Be my love
Take my happy heart away
Make me love you, make my day
In your arms I want to stay
All my love
Yeah…
Feeling more and more
Like I've never felt before
You have changed my life
So completely
Music fills my soul now
I've lost all control now
I'm not half, I'm whole now
With your love
It's my happy heart you hear
Singing loud and singing clear
And it's all because you're near
Be my love
Take my happy heart away
Make me love you, make my day
In your arms I want to stay
All my love
It is my happy heart
You can hear my happy heart
In love uoohhhhhh
Aaaaahhhhh
Take me
Take my happy heart
Please be my happy heart
The buildings reach up to the sky
The traffic thunders on the busy street
Pavement slips beneath my feet
I walk alone and wonder, who am I?
I close my eyes then I can fly
And I escape from all this worldly strife
Restricted by routine of life
But still I can't discover, who am I?
I long to wake up in the morning
And find everything has changed
And all the people that I meet don't wear a frown
But every day is just the same
I'm chasing rainbows in the rain
All the dreams that I believe in let me down
Maybe I'm reaching far too high
For I have something else entirely free
With love of someone close to me
Unfettered by the world that hurries by
Um, to question such good fortune, who am I?
I long to wake up in the morning
And find everything has changed
And all the people that I meet don't wear a frown
But every day is just the same
I'm chasing rainbows in the rain
All the dreams that I believe in let me down
Maybe I'm reaching far too high
For I have something else entirely free
The love of someone close to me
Unfettered by the world that hurries by
What now my love, now that you've left me?
How can I live through another day?
Watching my dreams turning to ashes,
And my hopes into bits of clay
Once I could see, once I could feel
Now I am numb, I've become unreal,
I walk the night without a goal,
Stripped of my heart, my soul
What now my love, now that it's over?
I feel the world closing in on me
Here come the stars tumbling around me,
There's the sky where the sea should be
What now my love, now that you've gone?
I'd be a fool to go on and on
No one would care, no one would cry
If I should live or die
What now my love, now there is nothing?
I was born in a great big city
With a river running by
London (London)
And this is the town that I loved and knew
This is the place where I lived and grew
And dreamed of love
Then, I met someone with a different voice,
Had a different sound, from a different town,
From a different land, and he took my hand
And I followed him, oh yeah
Now, I live in a great big city
With a river running by
Paris (Paris)
And this is the town that I've learned to know
This is the place where my love can grow
And the dream of love has come true
In my heart with every beat,
Two rivers flow, two rivers meet
You ask me how much I need you, must I explain?
I need you, oh my darling, like roses need rain
You ask how long I'll love you, I'll tell you true
Until the Twelfth of Never, I'll still be loving you
Hold me close, never let me go
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow
I'll love you 'til the bluebells forget to bloom
I'll love you 'til the clover has lost its perfume
I'll love you 'til the poets run out of rhyme
Until the Twelfth of Never and that's a long, long time
Everyone has a song, that belongs to their life
That will go on and on, through the years of their life
There's a wonderful song, one that you brought to me
And I look on this song, as my life's symphony
This is the song of my life
It will go on through my life
Something you said tenderly
Suddenly it's music for me
It springs from things that we share
Only through you is it there
I walk along day and night
Singing the song of my life
I can picture the past, that we knew yesterday
Every tear, every laugh, every step of the way
I recall what was wrong, and the things that were right
And each moment belongs, to the song of my life
This is the song of my life
It will go on through my life
Something you said tenderly
Suddenly it's music for me
It springs from things that we share
Only through you is it there
I walk along day and night
Singing the song of my life
This is the song of my life
It will go on through my life
Lalalalalalala
If you are going to San Francisco,
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you are going to San Francisco,
You're gonna meet some gentle people there
For those who come to San Francisco,
Summertime will be a love-in there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair
All across the nation,
Such a strange vibration
People in motion
There's a whole generation
With a new explanation
People in motion, people in motion
For those who come to San Francisco,
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you come to San Francisco,
Summertime will be a love-in there
If you come to San Francisco,
Heart, I can hear my heart
Every time we meet, every time we part
When I'm in your arms, I can hear my heart
We kiss and the rhythms start
I can feel the beat, beat, beat
Every time you're here
Oh, don't speak to me
'Cause I just couldn't hear
I can hear the boom like the rhythm of a train
Like a thousand drums, there it goes again
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
Oh, what can I do now?
My heart is beating just for you
Yeah, my poor heart, can't you see
What have you started, oh, what you're doing to me
Heart, I just can't take it
I'm going crazy, I'm going out of my head, yeah
Heart, you've got to stop now
I'm feeling hazy because it started so bad
I'm so in love with you
Nothing I can do
There’s a certain sound
Always follows me around
When you’re close to me
You will hear it
It’s the sound that lovers
Finally will discover
When there is no other
For their love
It’s my happy heart you hear
Singing loud and singing clear
And it’s all because you’re near me,
My love
Take my happy heart away
Make me love you, make my day
In your arms I want to stay
For my love, Yeah
Feeling more and more
Like I’ve never felt before
You have changed my life
So completely
Music fills my soul, now
I’ve lost all control, now
I’m not half, I'm whole, now
With your love
It’s my happy heart you hear
Singing loud and singing clear
And it’s all because you’re near me,
My love
Take my happy heart away
Make me love you, make my day
In your arms I want to stay
For my love..
Take my happy heart
Can't you hear my happy heart
In love, oohh
Take my happy heart
Hear my happy heart
Ring every bell in every steeple now
I wanna tell everyone the news somehow
I fell in love today and now it's here to stay
How can you blame me for wanting to say
Gotta tell the world
Put out the flags and let the fanfare sound
Cut out the gags and get the word around
I'm so in love with you and now I know it's true
There's only one thing that I wanna do
Gotta tell the world
I'll be with you forever
I'll be there in your heart
Time has found us together
Time won't tear us apart
I'm gonna love you like no one did before, oh yeah
And this love of ours will last forever more
Because I need you so, I'll never let you go
And 'cause I want everybody to know
Gotta tell the world
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
So, get the word about and let the bells ring out
And from the top of the mountains, I'll shout
Gotta tell the world
Gotta tell the world
This won't be easy
you'll think it's strange
when I try to explain how I feel
that I still need your love
after all that I've done
You won't believe me
all you will see is a girl you once knew
although she's dressed up to nines
for sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen
I had to change
couldn't stay all my life down at heel
looking out of the window
staying out of the sun
so I choose freedom
running around, trying everything new
but nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it too
Don't cry for me, Argentina
the truth is I never left you
all through my wild days
my mad existence
I kept my promise, don't keep your distance
And as for fortune
and as for fame
I never invited them in
though it appeared to the world
they were all I desired
they are illusions
they're not the solutions they promised to be
the answer was here all the time
I love you, and hope you love me
Don't cry for me, Argentina
the truth is I never left you
all through my wild days
my mad existence
I kept my promise,
don't keep your distance
I kept my promise
I've tried so hard my dear to show
That you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do
Is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past
Keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold cold heart
Another love before my time
Made your heart sad an' blue
And so my heart is paying now
For things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said
That make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold cold heart
There was a time when I believed
That you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled
To a memory
The more I learn to care for you
The more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
CHORUS:
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine, softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean, wider than the sky
My love is brighter than the brightest star that shines every night above
And there is nothing in this world that can ever change my love
Something happened to my heart the day that I met you
Something that I never felt before
You are always on my mind no matter what I do
And every day, it seems I want you more
CHORUS
Once, I thought that love was meant for anyone else but me
Once, I thought you'd never come my way
Now, it only goes to show how wrong we all can be
For now, I have to tell you every day
All your gypsy friends have gone away now
It's for someone else they sing their song
You said it's all a masquerade
And life was just a game you played
But now, too late, you see that you were wrong
All the friends you hung around are gone now
They're all entertaining someone else
You lived your life without a goal
And now, you feel you've lost your soul
And you can only blame it on yourself
Wasn't it you who said that nothing matters?
Wasn't it you who said life's a holiday?
Well, if it's true that nothing really matters,
What are you doing, feeling down this way?
I remember when I tried to warn you
You told me not to try to tie you down
Now, your mind is filled with doubt
The crowd that you were in is out
And you have no idea where you're bound
Wasn't it you who said that nothing matters?
Wasn't it you who said life's a holiday?
Well, if it's true that nothing really matters,
What are you doing, feeling down this way?
What are you doing, feeling down this way?
What are you doing, feeling down this way?
You're the only one that I rely on,
a shoulder there for me to cry on.
And the hours alone that I'm without you,
all I ever do is think about you.
No one knows that you so understanding.
Even though my love is so demanding.
Everytime you look at me
then you'll know we'll both agree
that no other love for me ...
I couldn't live without your love.
Now I know you're really mine.
Gotta have you all the time.
Didn't like you much when I first met you,
but somehow I couldn't quite forget you.
Said you didn't want a friend or lover,
that your life was happy with another.
But as time went by my love grew stronger.
Knew that I just couldn't wait any longer.
For I couldn't let you go
when I have to tell you so
that I love you, then you know ...
I couldn't live without your love.
Now I know you're really mine.
Gotta have you all the time.
Now the tears are gone and I'm not crying.
When you say you love me, you're not lying.
So when people want to stare
I know I don't really care
Just as long as you are there.
I couldn't live without your love.
Now I know you're really mine.
Gotta have you all the time.
Winchester Cathedral, you're bringing me down
You stood and you watched as my baby left town
You could have done something but you just didn't try
You didn't do nothing, you let him walk by
Now, everyone knows just how much I needed that boy
He wouldn't have gone far away if only you started ringing your bell
Yeah
Winchester Cathedral, you are bringing me down
You stood and you watched as my baby left town
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
Now, everyone knows just how much I needed that boy
He wouldn't have gone so far away if only you started ringing your bell
Winchester Cathedral, you're bringing me down
You stood and you watched as my baby left town
I'll sit alone
And I'll hear their song
They've never known
How it all went wrong
Little voices very clear
And they wonder why they never see you here
While I read each day
While the children play
I see your face
And I feel your touch
But can't replace
What I've left so much
And the magic of the sound
Just reminds me of the love that once we found
So, I read each day
While the children play
Not long ago,
We were young and free
Though love should grow,
It was not for me
Gone is over happiness
And you left me here to grieve in loneliness
So, I read each day
While the children play
I don't know where
They will ever learn
They'd smile again
If you just return
Though they often see me cry,
In their hearts, they won't accept that last goodbye
So, I read each day
While the children play
The angry voice is raised in vain
The feeling deep inside of pain
Sometimes, I think it's not worth while
Until once more, I see you smile
CHORUS:
What would I be without your love, I'll never know
If I were free, what could I do, where could I go?
I'm only me and I love you so
Unspoken thoughts, we both regret,
Forgive the past but can't forget
Sometimes, I just don't understand
Until once more, I hold your hand
CHORUS
Sometimes, it seems I can't go on
Sometimes, it feels that everything we had is gone
But though there may be many tears,
We'll stay together through the years
You only have to love me too
And I need no one else but you
CHORUS (2x)
Round
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half-forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly?
Was it something that you said?
Lovers walk along a shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Is the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
And the fragment of a song
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
In the autumn of goodbyes
For a moment you could not recall
The colour of his eyes
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
Tall and tan and young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes, each girl he passes goes ahah
When he walks, he's like a samba
He swings so cool and sways so gently
That when he passes, each girl he passes goes ahah
Oh, but I watch him so sadly
How can I tell him I love him
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day when he walks to the sea
He looks straight ahead, not at me
Tall and tan and young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes, I smile
But he doesn't see, no doesn't see
Oh, but I watch him so sadly
How can I tell him I love him
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day when he walks to the sea
He looks straight ahead, not at me
Tall and tan and young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes, I smile
But he doesn't see, no doesn't see
(Strangers in the night)
(Strangers in the night)
Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wond'ring in the night, what were the chances?
We'd be sharing love before the night was through, yeah
Something in your eyes was so inviting
Something in your smile was so exciting
Something in my heart told me I must have you
Strangers in the night, two lonely people
We were strangers in the night up to the moment
When we said our first hello
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away,
A warm embracing dance away, yeah
(Strangers in the night)
(Strangers in the night)
Ever since that night, we've been together,
Lovers at first sight in love forever
It turned out so right
For strangers in the night

Special people
That's the way I'll always think of you
Special people
All the very special things you do
Like the day when we met,
Now, how could I forget?
I was low, I was down
And trying hard to clown it through
Suddenly, there was you
Seeing through to my heart
And that was only the start
Special people
Life has taken on a different cue
Special people
When I'm with you, I feel special too
You are sweet, you are strong
And even when you're wrong,
You are right for me always
Love may not be always new
Still, we're gonna get through
And I'm gonna stay true to
Special people like you
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
You are sweet, you are strong
And even when you're wrong,
You are right for me always
Love may not be always new
Still, we're gonna get through
And I'm gonna stay true to
Special people like you
You make me feel so special people
And you are special people
Now, if you feel that you can't go on (can't go on)
Because all of your hope is gone (all of your hope is gone)
And your life is filled with much confusion (much confusion)
Until happiness is just an illusion (happiness is just an illusion)
And your world around is crumbling down, darling
Reach out
Reach out, yeah
I'll be there with a love that will shelter you
And I'll be there with a love that will see you through
When you feel lost and about to give up (to give up)
Because your life is just ain't good enough (just ain't good enough)
And you feel the world has grown cold (has grown cold)
And you are drifting out on your own (drifting out on your own)
And you need a hand, a little hand to hold, darling
Reach out
Reach out, yeah
I'll be there to love and comfort you
And I'll be there to cherish and care for you
(I'll be there to always see you through) I'll be there
(I'll be there to love and comfort you)
I can tell the way you hang your head (hang your head)
You're not in love and now, you're afraid (you're afraid)
And through your tears, you look around (look around)
Because there's no piece of mind to be around (no piece of mind to be found)
I know what you're thinking, but don't think, darling, don't think
Reach out
Just reach out, yeah
SPOKEN:
Here I am.
I'll be there to give you all the love you need
And I'll be there, you can always depend on me

If the rain comes,
They run and hide their heads
They might as well be dead
If the rain comes
If the rain comes
When the sun shines,
They slip into the shade
And sip their lemonade
When the sun shines
When the sun shines
Rain, I don't mind
Shine, the weather's fine
I can show you
That when it starts to rain,
Everything's the same
I can show you
I can show you
Rain, I don't mind
Shine, the weather's fine
Can you hear me
That when it rains and shines
It's just a state of mind
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Rain or shine
Rain or shine

Don't leave me now without a happy ending
Don't tell me now that it must fade away
For you must surely be
The one who waited for me
To take my hand and guide me every day
Don't go, oh, please don't go
With you, it always seemed to me like spring time
With you, I felt the magic everywhere
No matter where I go,
I only needed to know
The comfort of your love was always there
Don't go, oh, please don't go
I need you now and on the way
Through every hour and every day
Oh, please don't leave, I want you here
I can't believe the end is near
Don't go, oh, please don't go
To think I never dreamed that this could happen
For once, I put my faith so much in you
I thought your love was strong
But like a fool, I was wrong
The sense of emptiness, I never knew
Don't go, oh, please don't go
Don't tell me now that everything is over
I love you and that's all I'll ever know
Don't tell me it's goodbye
Don't leave my heart here to die
Don't leave me now, I beg you, please don't go

Sometimes, it just turns out that way
Oh, Monday mornin'
You gave me no warnin' on what was to be
Oh, Monday, Monday, how could you leave
And not take me?

Every other day of the week is fine (fine), yeah

I'm sitting in the railway station
Got a ticket for my destination
On a tour of one-night stands
My suitcase and guitar in hand
And ev'ry stop is neatly planned
For a poet and a one-man band
CHORUS:
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thought's escaping
Home where my music's playing
Home where my love is waiting
Silently for me
Ev'ry day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines
And each town looks the same to me
The movies and the factories
And ev'ry stranger's face I see
Reminds me that I long to be
CHORUS
Tonight, I'll sing my songs again
I'll play the game and pretend
But all my words come back to me
In shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony,
I need someone to comfort me
CHORUS
Homeward bound
I wish I was
(repeat and fade out)
To lead a better life,
I need my love to be here
Here, making each day of the year,
Changing my life with a wave of his hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there
There, running my hands through his hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking but he doesn't know she's there
I want him everywhere
And if he's beside me, I know I need never care
But to love him is to need him everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching his eyes and hoping I'm always there
I want him everywhere
And if he's beside me, I know I need never care
But to love him is to need him everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching his eyes and hoping I'm always there
To be there and everywhere
Here, there, and everywhere
CHORUS:
England swings like a pendulum do
Bobbies on bicycles, two by two
Westminster Abbey, the tower of Big Ben
The rosy red cheeks of the little children
Now, if you huff and puff and you fin'ly save enough
Money up to take your family on a trip across the sea,
Take a tip before you take your trip
Let me tell you where to go
Go to England 'cause
CHORUS
Mummy's old pajamas and your daddy's mustache
Falling out the windowsill, frolic in the grass
Tryin' to mock the way, they talk fun but all in vain,
Gaping at the dapper men with derby hats and canes, oh
CHORUS
(repeat and fade out)
They say love goes where the stream flows
Love will cross the border
And if love shows us the way...maybe
The desert will bloom again.
I dreamed I was in Africa
beneath a cloudless sky
No food to feed my family,
No strength in me to cry
IT was only a dream
thank GOD it won't come true
But the suffering I've seen
keeps haunting me through and through
But if love goes where the stream flows
Love can cross the border
And if love goes all the way...maybe
Their suffering will not be in vain
I've seen the people searching
for an answer to their pain
I can still hear them praying
for the rains to come again
And they're willing to learn
if we're willing to teach
Deep beneath the earth
there is water within our reach
They say love goes where the stream flows
Love will cross the border
and if love goes all the way....they'll see
That land growing green again
They say love goes where the stream flows
Love can cross the border
And if love goes all the way....maybe
The desert will bloom again.
I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me,
It was just one of those things
But don't ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
And you're gonna love me like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
And won't that be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
Rain or shine
I was five, and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
And he wore black, and I wore white
And he would always win the fight
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
Yeah
Seasons came and changed the time
I grew up, I called him mine
And he would always laugh and say,
Remember when we used to play
Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down
Yeah
Music played and people sang
Just for me, the church bells rang
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Well, now he's gone, I don't know why
And till this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
And he didn't take the time to lie
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
(Bang bang)
Bang bang
It's a sign of the times
that your love for me is getting so much stronger.
It's a sign of the times
and I know that I won't have to wait much longer.
You changed a lot, somehow,
from the one I used to know.
For when you hold me now,
I feel like you never wanna let me go.
It's a sign of the times
that you call me up whenever you feel lonely.
It's a sign of the times
that you tell your friends that I'm your one and only.
I'll never understand
the way you treated me.
But when I hold your hand
I know you couldn't be the way you used to be!
Maybe my lucky star
at last decided to shine!
Maybe somebody knows
how long I've waited to make you mine!
um-um-um
-musical interlude-
I'll never understand
the way you treated me.
But when I hold your hand
I know you couldn't be the way you used to be!
Maybe my lucky star
at last decided to shine!
Maybe somebody knows
how long I've waited to make you mine!
It's a sign of the times
that you kiss me now as if you really mean it.
It's a sign of the times
and a year ago I never could have seen it.
Don't ever change your mind
and take your love away.
Just leave the past behind
and, baby, only think of how it is today!
It's a sign of the times!
It's a sign of the times!
It's a sign of the times!
(repeat and fade out)
You're the only one that I rely on
A shoulder there for me to cry on
And the hours alone that I'm without you
All I ever do is think about you
No one knows that you're so understanding
Even though my love is so demanding
Every time you look at me,
Then you'll know we'll both agree
That no other love could be
CHORUS:
I couldn't live without your love
Now, I know you're really mine
I gotta have you all the time
Didn't like you much when I first met you
But somehow, I couldn't quite forget you
Said you didn't want a friend or lover
That your life was happy with another
But as time went by, my love grew stronger
Knew that I just couldn't wait any longer
For I couldn't let you go
And I had to tell you so
That I loved you, then you'd know
CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
Now, the tears are gone and I'm not cryin'
When you say you love me, you're not lyin'
So, when people want to stare,
I know I don't really care
Just as long as you are there
CHORUS
(repeat and fade out)
In the morning of my life I shall look to the sunrise.
At a moment in my life when the world is new.
And the blessing I shall ask is that God will grant me,
To be brave and strong and true,
And to fill the world with love my whole life through.
(Chorus)
And to fill the world with love
And to fill the world with love
And to fill the world with love my whole life through
In the noontime of my life I shall look to the sunshine,
At a moment in my life when the sky is blue.
And the blessing I shall ask shall remain unchanging.
To be brave and strong and true,
And to fill the world with love my whole life through
(Chorus)
In the evening of my life I shall look to the sunset,
At a moment in my life when the night is due.
And the question I shall ask only I can answer.
Was I brave and strong and true?
Did I fill the world with love my whole life through?
(Chorus)
You and I will travel far together
We'll pursue our little star together
We'll be happy as we are together
We may never get to heaven
But it's heaven at least to try
You and I are going on together
Till the time we have is gone together
Watch the evening growing on together
Growing older growing closer
Making memories that light the sky
That only time can make
That only love can make
That only we can make
You and I
You and I are going on together
Till the time we have is gone together
Watch the evening growing on together
Growing older growing closer
Making memories that light the sky
That only time can make
That only love can make
That only we can make
Norma
With on look I can break your heart
With one look I play every part
I can make your sad heart sing
With one look you will know
All you need to know
With one smile I'm the girl next door
Or the love that you've hungered for
When I speak it's with my soul
I can play any role
No words can tell the stories my eyes tell
Watch me when I frown
You can't write that down
You know I'm right
It's there in black and white
When I look your way
You'll hear what I say
Yes, with one look I put words to shame
Just one look sets the screen aflame
Silent music starts to play
One tear in my eye make the whole world cry.
With one look they will forgive the past
They'll rejoice: I've returned at last
To my people in the dark
Still out there in the dark....
Silent music starts to play
With one look you'll know all you need to know.
With one look I'll ignite a blaze
I'll return to my glory days
They'll say Norma's back at last
This time I am staying I'm staying for good
I'll be back where I was born to be
In the shoemaker's shop this refrain would never stop
As he tapped away, working all the day
(At his bench, there was he, just as busy as a bee)
Little time to lose for the boots and shoes
But his heart went "pop" inside the little shop
When a lovely girl set 'em all a-whirl
She had come to choose some pretty dancing shoes
And he heard her say in a charming way
Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing
Dancing, dancing all the day
Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing
Dancing all my cares away
(Then he tapped and he stitched for his fingers were
bewitched)
And he sewed a dream into every seam
(Making shoes, oh, so neat just like magic on her feet)
And he hoped she'd know that he loved her so
But she danced, danced, danced as though she were
entranced
Like a spinning top all around the shop
On her dainty feet she whirled into the street
And he heard her say as she danced away
Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing
Dancing all my cares away
Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing
Fly away, fly away
There's a cat in the window
And he's watching all the birds go passing by
He'd love to fly out the window
Go where the wind goes
And so would I
Like that cat in the window
Who keeps wishing for some wings to take a ride
I'd love to glide to a rainbow
Off where the clouds go dancing by
And if I could fly
You wouldn't find me hangin' around
Watching the birds go by
Yes the cat in the window
Has a tear in his eye
I should leave today, fly away
Why should I stay like the cat in the window
Who keeps watching the birds
Go by from the window
If I could fly though
You won't find me
I was dancin' with my darlin'
To the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced her to my loved one,
And while they were dancing,
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night,
And the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin'
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
I was dancin' with my darlin'
To the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced her to my loved one,
And while they were dancing,
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night,
And the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin'
The night they were playing
Tell me it's not true
Say it's just a story
Something on the news
Tell me it's not true
Though it's here before me
Say it's just a dream
Say it's just a scene
From an old movie of years ago
From an old movie of Marilyn Monroe.
Say it's just some clowns
Two players in the limelight
And bring the curtain down
Say it's just two clowns
Who couldn't get their lines right
Say it's just a show
On the radio
That we can turn over and start again
That we can turn over; it's only a game.
Tell me it's not true
Say I only dreamed it
And morning will come soon
Tell me it's not true
Say you didn't mean it
Say it's just pretend
Say it's just the end
Of an old movie from years ago
From an old movie with Marilyn Monroe.
Tell me it's not true
Say you didn't mean it
Say it's just pretend
Say it's just the end
Of an old movie from years ago
When you've climbed the highest mountain
When a cloud holds the sunshine in
Suddenly there's a valley
Where the earth knows peace with man
When a storm hides the distant rainbow
And you think you can't find a friend
Suddenly there's a valley
Where friendships never end
Touched only by the seasons
Swept clean by the waving grain
Surveyed by a happy bluebird
And kissed by the falling rain
When you think there's no bright tomorrow
And you feel you can't try again
Suddenly there's a valley
Where hope and love begin
Suddenly there's a valley
Oh you great ocean so deep, Oh you ocean so wide
I feel you are my friend so in you I confide
You know the world, every land, every shore
There's not a place you don't explore
Send every wave as it rolls on it's way
Searchin' high, searchin' low, searchin' each little bay
Send out a plea to the whole of seven seas
Where is the one I adore?
My friend the sea, be true to me
My love, one day sailed far away
My friend the sea, please ask the tide
To bring my love home to my side
Oh you great ocean so deep, Oh you ocean so wide
There are hearts you unite, There are hearts you divide
You know the world; Every river, mountain, stream
Look everywhere you've ever been
Ask all the fish as they swim out to sea
Would they pass on the word as a favor to me
Maybe they'll look out some little brook
And find the one I adore
My friend the sea, be true to me
My love, one day sailed far away
My friend the sea, please ask the tide
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every streetlamp
Seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And the streetlamp gutters
And soon it will be morning
Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I musn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is
Look
Love me with all of your heart
That's all I want, love
Love me with all of your heart
Or not at all
Just promise me this
That you'll give me all your kisses
Every winter every summer
Every fall
When we are far apart
Or when you're near me
Love me with all of your heart
As I love you
Don't give me your love
For a moment or an hour
Love me always as you love me
From the start
With every beat of your heart
With every beat of your heart.
Instrumental
When we are far apart
Or when you're near me
Love me with all of your heart
As I love you
Don't give me your love
For a moment or an hour
Love me always as you love me
From the start
With every beat of your heart
If I only had time
Only time
So much to do
If I only had time
If I only had time
Dreams to pursue
If I only had time
They'd be mine
Time like the wind
Goes a- hurrying by
And the hours just fly
Where to begin
There are mountains I'd climb
If I'd time
Since I met you I've thought
Life really is to short
Lovin' you
So many things
We could make true
A whole century
Isn't enough
To satisfy me
So much to do
If I only had time
If I only had time
Dreams to pursue
If I only had time
They'd be mine
Mmmmm
If I only had time
Only time
I will follow him, follow him wherever he may go
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep me away
I must follow him
Ever since he touched my hand I knew
That near him I always must be
And nothing can keep him from me
He is my destiny
I love him, I love him, I love him
And where he goes I'll follow,
And always be my true love
I will follow him, follow him wherever he may go
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep, keep me away
Away from my love
I love him, I love him, I love him
And where he goes I'll follow, forever, and ever
And side by side together
I'll be with my true love
And share a thousand sunsets together beside him
I will follow him, follow him wherever he may go
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep, keep me away
Every day when the work is behind you
And the shop and the store put the lock on the door
Just get away where your worries won't find you
If you like, well I'll tell you more
Don't let the day get the better of you
When the evening comes there's so much to do
You better put on your best and wear a smile
Just come along with me awhile, 'cuz I tell you
I know a place where the music is fine
And the lights are always low
I know a place where we can go
At the door there's a man who will greet you
Then you go downstairs to some tables and chairs
Soon I'm sure you'll be tappin' your feet
Because the beat is the greatest there
All around there are girls and boys
It's a swingin' place, a cellar full of noise
It's got an atmosphere of its own somehow
You gotta come along right now 'cuz I tell you
I know a place where the music is fine
And the lights are always low
I know a place where we can go
Well, all around there are girls and boys
It's a swingin' place, a cellar full of noise
It's got an atmosphere of its own somehow
You gotta come along right now 'cuz I tell you
I know a place where the music is fine
And the lights are always low
I know a place where we can go
I know a place where we can go
I know a place where the lights are low
You're gonna love this place, I know
I know a place where we can go
If you're feeling sad and lonely
There's a service I can render
Tell the one who loves you only
I can be so warm and tender
Call me don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me, and I'll be around
When it seems your friends desert you
There's somebody thinking of you
I'm the one who'll never hurt you
Maybe that's because I love you
Call me don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me, and I'll be around
Now, don't forget me' cause if you let me
I will always stay by you
You gotta trust me that's how it must be
There's so much that I can do
If you call, I'll be right with you
You and I should be together
Take this love I long to give you
I'll be at your side forever
Call me don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me, and I'll be around
Call me don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me, and I'll be around

NORMA
I don't know why I'm frightened
I know my way around here
The cardboard trees, the painted seas, the sound
here...
Yes, a world to rediscover
But I 'm not in any hurry
And I need a moment
The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways
The atmosphere as thrilling here as always
Feel the early morning madness
Feel the magic in the making
Why, everything's as if we never said goodbye
I've spent so many mornings just trying to resist you
I'm trembling now, you can't know how I've missed you
Missed the fairy tale adventure
In this ever spinning playground
We were young together
I'm coming out of make-up
The lights already burning
Not long until the cameras will start turning...
And the early morning madness
And the magic in the making
Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye
I don't want to be alone
That's all in the past
This world's waited long enough
I've come home at last!
And this time will be bigger
And brighter than we knew it
So watch me fly, we all know I can do it...
Could I stop my hand from shaking?
Has there ever been a moment
With so much to live for?
The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways
So much to say not just today but always...
We'll have early morning madness
We'll have magic in the making
Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye
Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye...

Why must I be alone
I've spent so many hours with you
How can I be alone
Alone
Why must I dream alone
Our dreams were meant for us to share
How can I dream alone
There's such a thing a forgiving
So why can't you forgive
There's such a thing as forgetting
So can't you forgive and forget
Apart
Why must we be apart
Let's put our hearts together
And never be alone
There's such a thing a forgiving
So why can't you forgive
There's such a thing as forgetting
So can't you forgive and forget

Why must we be apart
Let's put our hearts together

When I'm feeling blue, all I have to do
Is take a look at you then, I'm not so blue
When you're close to me, I can feel your heart beat
I can hear you breathing in my ear
Wouldn't you agree, baby, you and me
Got a groovy kind of love
We got a groovy kind of love
Anytime you want to, you can turn me onto
Anything you want to, anytime at all
When I taste your lips, oh, I start to shiver,
Can't control the quivering inside
Wouldn't you agree, baby, you and me
Got a groovy kind of love
We got a groovy kind of love
INSTRUMENTAL
When I'm your arms, nothing seems to matter
If the world would shatter, I don't care
Wouldn't you agree, baby, you and me
Got a groovy kind of love
We got a groovy kind of love
Every time we meet,
Everything is sweet
Oh, you're so tender
I must surrender
My love is your love
Now and forever
You're the one that I long to kiss
Baby, you're the one that I really miss
You're the one that I'm dreaming of
Baby, you're the one that I love
Keep me in your heart
Never let us part
Ooh, never leave me
Please don't deceive me
I want you only
You must believe me
You're the one that I long to kiss
Baby, you're the one that I really miss
You're the one that I'm dreaming of
Baby, you're the one that I love
I adore you and no one before you
Could make me feel this way
Since I met you, I just can't forget you
I love you more each day
Whoa whoa, yeah yeah
There may be some tears
Through the comin' years
Ooh, all the while
I know you'll be smilin'
Your love will guide me
Through ev'ry mile
'Cause
You're the one that I long to kiss
Baby, you're the one that I really miss
You're the one that I'm dreaming of
Baby, you're the one that I love
You're the one that I long to kiss
Baby, you're the one that I really miss
You're the one that I'm dreaming of
Baby, you're the one that I love
You'd better come home and stop your running around
You'd better come home and get your feet on the ground
'Cause I won't share my love with anyone new
You'd better be smart, you've gotta make up your mind
Stop breaking my heart and leave the others behind
'Cause I won't share my love whatever I do
The love that I give for as long as I live will be yours
And nothing can change the way that I feel
So, baby, come back to me
(Baby, come back to me)
Baby, come back to me
(Baby, come back to me)
Love me like you did before
You'd better come home and see the damage you've done
You'd better come home because you've had all your fun
And I won't share my love with anyone new, no, no
The love that I give for as long as I live will be yours
And nothing can change the way that I feel
So, baby, come back to me
(Baby, come back to me)
Baby, come back to me
(Baby, come back to me)
Love me like you did before
You'd better come home and see the damage you've done
You'd better come home because you've had all your fun
And I won't share my love with anyone new, no, no
I just want to share it with you
You'd better come home
How could you forget the taste of love
When I can still remember?
All the words we said are wasted
Now, it's just a dying ember
Every thought we shared together
Disappeared without a warning
As the book is closed forever,
So the truth is slowly dawning
There goes my love,
There goes my life
In your arms, such sweet seclusion
Only fate knew it was leading
To a heart full of confusion
Was it just a false illusion?
Maybe even you believed it
Victim of my own creation
There you were and I conceived it
So much for imagination
There goes my love,
There goes my life
Echoes of your voice surround me
Sympathetic smile's still taunting
Memories of you around me
Shadows of the parsed light haunting
Guilty of complete devotion
Sentenced to a life of longing
Prisoner of my own emotion
Wanting you but not belonging
There goes my love,
He is now to be among you at the calling of your hearts
Rest assured this troubadour is acting on his part
The union of your spirits here has caused him to remain
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in his name
There is love
There is love
Well, a man shall leave his mother and a woman leave her home
They shall travel on to where the two shall be as one
As it was in the beginning, is now until the end
Woman draws her life from man and gives it back again
And there is love
There is love
Well, then what's to be the reason for becoming man and wife?
Is it love that brings you here, or love that gives you life?
For if loving is the answer, then who's the giving for?
Do you believe in something that you've never seen before?
Oh, there is love
There is love
Well, then what's to be the reason for becoming man and wife?
Is it love that brings you here, or love that gives you life?
For if loving is the answer, then who's the giving for?
Do you believe in something that you've never seen before?
Oh, there is love
I'll be loving you eternally
With a love that's true, eternally
From the start, within my heart
It seems I've always known
The sun would shine
When you were mine
And mine alone
I'll be loving you eternally
There'll be no one new, my dear, for me
Though the sky should fall
Remember I shall always be
Forever true and loving you
Eternally
Though the sky should fall
Remember I shall always be
Forever true and loving you

Norma
Bring out the old, bring in the new
A midnight wish to share with you
Your lips are warm, my head is light,
Were we in love before tonight?
I don't need a crowded ballroom, everything I want is
here
If you're with me, next year will be the perfect year
Before we play some dangerous game;
Before we fan some harmless flame
We have to ask if this is wise
And if the game is worth the prize
With this wine and with this music
How can anything be clear?
Let's wait and see, it may just be the perfect year
Norma
It's New Year's Eve, and hope are high
Dance one year in, kiss one good-bye
Another chance, another start
So many dreams to tease the heart.
We don't need a crowded ballroom,
Everything we want is here
And face to face, we will embrace, the perfect year
We don't need a crowded ballroom, everything we want is
here
And face to face, we will embrace, the perfect year
So, what time are they supposed to get here?
Norma
Who?
The other guests.
Norma
There are no other guests. Just you and me.
I'm in love with you, surely you know that.
Norma....
Norma
We'll have a wonderful time next year.
I'll have the pool filled up for you.
I'll open up my house in Malibu,
And you can have the whole ocean.
I have enough money to buy us anything we want.
Cut out that "us" business
Norma
What's the matter with you?
What right do you have to take me for granted?
Norma
What right? Do you want me to tell you?
Norma, what I'm trying to say is that
I'm the wrong guy for you;
You need a big shot, someone with polo ponies, a
Valentino...
Norma
What you're trying to say is, you don't want me to love
you.
Say it! Say it!
Max. Get me a taxi.
I had to get out, I needed to be with people my own
age,
To hear the sound of laughter and mix with hungry
actors,
Underemployed composers, nicotine-poisoned writers,
Life is never what it seems, we're always searching in our dreams
To find that little castle in the air
When worry starts to cloud the mind, it's hard to leave it all behind
And just pretend you haven't got a care
There's someone else in your imagination
You wish that you were standing in their shoes
You'd change your life without much hesitation
But would you if you really had to choose?
So, don't look around, get your feet on the ground
It's much better by far to be just who your are
The other man's grass is always greener
The sun shines brighter on the other side
The other man's grass is always greener
Some are lucky, some are not
Just be thankful for what you've got
Many times it seems to me there's someone else I'd rather be
Living in a world of make-believe
To stay in bed till nearly three with nothing there to worry me
It'd seem to be the life I might achieve
But deep inside I know I'm really lucky
With happiness I've never known before
And just as long as you are there beside me
I know that I could ask for nothing more
And living can start with the love in your heart
So with you all the time, all the treasures I long for are mine
The other man's grass is always greener
The sun shines brighter on the other side
The other man's grass is always greener
Some are lucky, some are not
But I'm so thankful for what I've got
Yes, the other man's grass is always greener
The sun shines brighter on the other side
The other man's grass is always greener
Some are lucky, some are not
Starting All Over Again
Recreating a dream we once knew
Going back to a time that has drifted away
It won't be that easy to do
Through the tears and the anger and pain
The illusions we had and then lost
All the questions that still go unanswered today
Were the lessons we learned worth the cost?
Well, I still believe
If we go where the Spirit leads
It will take us to
Just where we're supposed to be
It's a chance we must seize
Let's get up off our knees
Take a stand
We can make it happen hand in hand. . .
We'll be Starting All Over Again
With a dream that the whole world can share Only this
time we'll built it so safe and so strong We will build
with compassion and care
And our sorrow will not be in vain
Just as long as the dream stays alive
We will cherish it always and keep it from harm
We will make it our reason to strive
We will make it our reason for starting all over again
(Orchestra)
This could bring out the best in us all
Recognising the wrong from the right
This could be the beginning of something so fine
If we follow the Love and the Light
We'll be starting all over again
This time. . .
It's a sign of the times
That your love for me is getting so much stronger
It's a sign of the times
And I know that I won't have to wait much longer
You've changed a lot, somehow
From the one I used to know
For when you hold me now
I feel like you never wanna let me go
It's a sign of the times
That you call me up whenever you feel lonely
It's a sign of the times
That you tell your friends that I'm your one and only
I'll never understand
The way you treated me
But when I hold your hand
I know you couldn't be the way you used to be
Maybe, my lucky star
At last decided to shine
Maybe, somebody knows
How long I've waited to make you mine
I'll never understand
The way you treated me
But when I hold your hand
I know you couldn't be the way you used to be
Maybe, my lucky star
At last decided to shine
Maybe, somebody knows
How long I've waited to make you mine
It's a sign of the times
That you kiss me now as if you really mean it
It's a sign of the times
And a year ago I never could have seen it
Don't ever change your mind
And take your love away
Just leave the past behind
And baby only think of how it is today
It's a sign of the times, it's a sign of the times
It's a sign of the times, it's a sign of the times
(Sailor stop your roaming)
Sailor stop your roaming
Sailor, leave the sea
Sailor, when the tide turns
Come home safe to me
As you sail across the sea
All my love is there beside you
In Capri or Amsterdam
Honolulu or Siam
To the harbour of my heart
I will send my love to guide you
As I call across the sea
Come home to me
Sailor stop your roaming
Sailor, leave the sea
Sailor, when the tide turns
Come home safe to me
As you sail across the sea
All my love is there beside you
In Capri or Amsterdam
Honolulu or Siam
To the harbour of my heart
I will send my love to guide you
As I call across the sea
You might wake up some mornin'
To the sound of something moving past your window in the
wind
And if you're quick enough to rise,
You'll catch the fleeting glimpse of someone's fading
shadow
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of
Across my dream with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Out on the new horizon,
You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of
wings
And if the sleep has left your ears,
You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of
Across my dream with nets of wonder
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
Stop feeling sad now, life ain't so bad now
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
While you're debating, something are awaiting
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
When Columbus sailed away to other shores
How could he imagine all that waited for him?
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
Leave all the blue days, think about the new days
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
Everything is yours now, open all the doors now
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
Man will soon be standing on the moon above
Just imagine all the things that he'll discover
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
You've gotta stop sittin' there on the shelf
You've gotta start lookin' out for yourself, yeah
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
What's the use in crying, happiness is lying?
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
And if you want a true love, look for a new love
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
Just forget the worries that you leave behind
There are many things to do and you can find them
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
I studied Shakespeare
when I was at school
thought Romeo was a pet
Felt if I met him
I'd act like a fool
I'd be a poor Juliet
Now that I know him
I'm not really sure
boy you're as charming as he
Saying the same things
to all the girls
or is it just to me
Romeo,
why am I so in love with you
Romeo,
is it you or the things you do
I've been yours
from the moment you said hello
Are you mine
or just only my Romeo
I studied Shakespeare
when I was at school
thought Romeo was a joy
I liked the true way
he loved Juliet
just my ideal of a boy
You know I like you as my Romeo
that's how I want you to be
but if you're out on some other date
can you be true to me
Romeo,
why am I so in love with you
Romeo,
is it you or the things you do
I've been yours
from the moment you said hello
Are you mine
(Never on a Sunday when the church is full of people
And the bells are ringing in the steeple, la la....)
Oh, you can kiss me on a Monday
A Monday, a Monday is very very good
Or you can kiss me on a Tuesday
A Tuesday, a Tuesday in fact I wish you would
Or you can kiss me on a Wednesday
A Thursday, a Friday, and Saturday is best
But never never on a Sunday
A Sunday, a Sunday 'cause that's my day of rest
Come any day and you'll be my guest
Any day you say but my day of rest
Just name the day that you like the best
Only stay away on my day of rest
You can kiss me on a cool day
A hot day, a wet day which ever one you choose
Or try to kiss me on a grey day
A May day, a pay day and see if I refuse
And you make it on a bleake day
A freak day, a week day why you can be my guest
But never never on a Sunday
A Sunday's the one day I need a day to rest
{Instrumental]
Just name the day that you like the best
Only stay away on my day of rest
Never on a Sunday when the church is full of people
And the bells are ringing in the steeple, (la la....)
Oh you can kiss me on a Monday
Monday, Monday's very good
Or you can kiss me on a Tuesday
Tuesday and I wish you would
Or you can kiss me on a Wednesday
Thursday, Friday and Saturday is best
But never, never on a Sunday
Sunday, Sunday 'cause that's my day of rest
On the day I was born
Set me father said he
I've got an elegent legacy waiting for me
It's a rhyme for your lips
It's a song for your heart
To sing it whenever the world falls apart
Look, look , look to the rainbow
Follow it over the hills and stream
Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow the fellow who follows our dream
It was a sumtuous gift
To beguife to a child
Or the lore of that song kept her feet running wild
For you never grow old
And you never stand still
With whipper will singing beyond the next hill
Look, look , look to the rainbow
Follow it over the hills and stream
Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow the fellow who follows a dream
Strike one me heart and I roam the world free
To the east with a lark
To the west with the sea
And I searched all the Earth
And I scanned all the sky
But I found it at last
In my own true love's eyes
Look, look , look to the rainbow
Follow it over the hills and stream
Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow the fellow who follows the dream
Follow the fellow
Follow the fellow
Follow the fellow
I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me
Don’t take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me
Each time we make love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would I be?
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you’ll always
Let it be me
Each time we make love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would I be?
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you’ll always
We choose it, win or lose it
Love is never quite the same
I love you, now I've lost you
Don't feel bad, you're not to blame
So kiss me goodbye and I'll try not to cry
All the tears in the world won't change your mind
There's someone new and she's waiting for you
Soon your heart will be leaving me behind
Linger awhile, then I'll go with a smile
Like a friend who just happened to call
For the last time pretend you are mine
My darling, kiss me goodbye
I know now I must go now
Though my heart wants me to stay
That girl is your tomorrow
I belong to yesterday
So kiss me goodbye and I'll try not to cry
All the tears in the world won't change your mind
There's someone new and she's waiting for you
Soon your heart will be leaving me behind
Linger awhile, then I'll go with a smile
Like a friend who just happened to call
For the last time pretend you are mine
My darling, kiss me goodbye
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song ...
I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style.
And so I came to see him to listen for a while.
And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes.
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song ...
I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the
crowd,
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song ...
He sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair.
And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't
there.
But he just came to singing, singing clear and strong.
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song ...
He was strumming, oh, he was singing my song.
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song ...
I Dreamed A Dream
There was a time when men were kind,
And their voices were soft,
And their words inviting.
There was a time when love was blind,
And the world was a song,
And the song was exciting.
There was a time when it all went wrong...
I dreamed a dream in time gone by,
When hope was high and life, worth living.
I dreamed that love would never die,
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid,
And dreams were made and used and wasted.
There was no ransom to be paid,
No song unsung, no wine, untasted.
But the tigers come at night,
With their voices soft as thunder,
As they tear your hope apart,
And they turn your dream to shame.
He slept a summer by my side,
He filled my days with endless wonder...
He took my childhood in his stride,
But he was gone when autumn came!
And still I dream he'll come to me,
That we will live the years together,
But there are dreams that cannot be,
And there are storms we cannot weather!
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living,
So different now from what it seemed...
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ,
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ Superstar,
Do you think you're what they say you are?
I don't know how to love him
What to do, how to move him
I've been changed, yes really changed
In these past few days
When I've seen myself
I seem like someone else
I don't know how to take this
I don't see why he moves me
He's a man, He's just a man
And I've had so many men before
In oh so many ways
He's just one more
Should I bring him down?
Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love?
Let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this,
What's it all about?
Yet, If he said he loved me
I'd be lost, I'd be frightened
I couldn't cope,
Just couldn't cope
I'd turn my head, I'd back away
I wouldn't want to know
He scares me so
I'm the one
Who's always been
So calm so cool
No lover's fool
Running every show
He scares me so,
I love him so
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ,
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ Superstar,
Do you think you're what they say you are?
Jesus Christ Superstar,
Do you think you're what they say you are?
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ,
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Adore you, and want you so
I'm just a no one, with
nothing to give you but oh
I love you.
You, you buy her diamonds
Bright, sparkling diamonds
But believe me, dear, when I say
That she can give you the world
But she'll never love you the way...
I love you.
She can take you to any
place she wants,
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed up
against the window pane!
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Must watch you, go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else
Darling it is I...
Who loves you
I love you
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better
And anytime you feel the pain
Hey Jude refrain
don't carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool
who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Na na na na na
na na na na
Hey Jude don't let me down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember to let her into your heart
then you can start to make it better
So let it out and let it in
Hey Jude begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you
Hey Jude, you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder
Na na na na na
na na na na yeah
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better
Better, better, better, better, better, oh
Na, na na na na na na
na na na na, hey Jude
Na, na na na na na na

Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
We’ve got a lifetime to share
So much to say
And as we go on from day to day
I’ll feel you close to me
But time alone will tell
Let’s take a lifetime to say
I knew you well
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow for all we know
Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
Let’s take a lifetime to say
I knew you well
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow for all we know
When you're alone
And life is making you lonely,
You can always go downtown
When you've got worries,
All the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know, downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go
Downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown, no finer place for sure,
Downtown, everything's waiting for you
(Downtown)
Don't hang around
And let your problems surround you
There are movie shows downtown
Maybe you know
Some little places to go to
Where they never close downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossanova
You'll be dancing with 'em, too, before the night is over
Happy again
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go
Downtown where all the lights are bright,
Downtown, waiting for you tonight,
Downtown, you're gonna be alright now
(Downtown downtown)
Downtown
(Downtown)
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along
So, maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares and go
Downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown, don't wait a minute more,
Downtown, everything's waiting for you
Downtown (downtown) downtown (downtown)
Downtown (downtown) downtown (downtown)
You wander around on your own little cloud
When you don't see the why or the wherefore
You walk out on me when we both disagree
'Cause to reason is not what you care for
I've heard it all a million times before
Take off your coat, my love, and close the door
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin', don't stand in the pouring rain
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin', the night is long
Forget your foolish pride, nothing's wrong
Now you're beside me again
You try to be smart, then you take it to heart
'Cause it hurts when your ego is deflated
You don't realize that it's all compromise
And the problems are so overrated
Goodbye means nothing when it's all for show
So why pretend you've somewhere else to go
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin', don't stand in the pouring rain
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin', the night is long
Forget your foolish pride, nothing's wrong
Now you're beside me again
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin', don't stand in the pouring rain
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin', the night is long
Forget your foolish pride, nothing's wrong
Now you're beside me again
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin', don't stand in the pouring rain
When love seems to get you down
When you can't turn around and run
You've got to stop and face the fact
That the heartaches have just begun
Because you need love, you need love
Keep on till you know what you've won, yeah
Don't give up, don't let it get you down
Don't give up, don't think of leaving town
Don't give up, don't run away from it
Love will be yours in the end, my friend
When someone is on your mind
And you can't find the words to say
Don't put off until tomorrow, my friend
What you know you've gotta do today
Because you need love, you need love
And in time you'll discover the way, yeah
Don't give up, don't let it get you down
Don't give up, don't think of leaving town
Don't give up, don't run away from it
Love will be yours in the end, my friend
You know you need love, you need love
Keep on till you know what you've won, yeah
Now don't give up, don't let it get you down
Don't give up, don't think of leaving town
Don't give up, don't run away from it
Love will be yours in the end, my friend
Now don't give up, don't let it get you down
Don't give up, don't think of leaving town
Don't give up, don't run away from it
Love will be yours in the end, my friend

Oh, you can colour my world with happiness all the way!
Just take the green from the grass and the blue from the sky up above!
And if you colour my world just paint it with your love.
Just colour my world.
Colour my world.
Oh, colour my world.
Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had
told you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could
hold you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could
mold you
Into someone who could cherish me as much as I cherish
Cherish is the word that more than applies
To the hope in my heart each time I realize
That I am not going to be the one to share your dreams
That I am not going to be the one to share your schemes
That I am not going to be the one to share what seems
To be the life that you could cherish as much as I
cherish yours
Oh, I'm beginning to think that man has never found
The words that could make you want me
That have the right amount of letters, just the right
sound
That could make you hear, make you see
That you are driving me out of my mind
If I just say I need you, oh, then you'd realize
That I want you and I could never disguise
How much I love you when every nerve in me cries
Out for the moment when you touch my face, my hands
And gaze into my eyes
Yeah
Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had
told you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could
hold you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could
mold you
Into someone who could cherish me as much as I cherish
And I do
Cherish you
Tall and tan and young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes, each girl he passes goes ahah
When he walks, he's like a samba
He swings so cool and sways so gently
That when he passes, each girl he passes goes ahah
Oh, but I watch him so sadly
How can I tell him I love him
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day when he walks to the sea
He looks straight ahead, not at me
Tall and tan and young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes, I smile
But he doesn't see, no doesn't see
Oh, but I watch him so sadly
How can I tell him I love him
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day when he walks to the sea
He looks straight ahead, not at me
Tall and tan and young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes, I smile
Once those American boys get near you,
Take good care of your heart
(Take good care of your heart)
From Kentucky to New York City,
California to Idaho
Let me tell you girls, plain or pretty
There's something that you gotta know
Once those American boys get near you,
Take good care of your heart
Oh, Once those American boys get near you,
Take good care of your heart
(Take good care of your heart)
Some are charming and some are witty
Some can look like a movie star
Let me tell you girls, plain or pretty
Remember wherever you are
Once those American boys get near you,
Take good care of your heart
Oh, Once those American boys get near you,
Take good care of your heart
(Take good care of your heart)
Whoa, Oh
You can have the time of your life
But I know every day's
Another day nearer his loving arms
(Take good care of your heart)
Now, if you want to be free and easy
Just remember right from the start
You can fall in love, it's so easy
So girls, you've gotta be smart
Once those American boys get near you,
Take good care of your heart
Ooh, Once those American boys get near you,
Take good care of your heart
(Take good care of your heart)
Whoa, oh, yeah
Don't you know that
Once those American boys get near you
Take good care of your heart, yeah
Once those American boys get near you
Take good care of your heart, yeah
You know that once those American boys get near you
