You give your hand to me then you say hello
And I can hardly speak my heart is beating so
And anyone can tell you, you think you know me well
But you don't know me
No you don't know the one who dreams of you at night
Who longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight
To you I'm just a friend that's all I’ve ever been
But you don't know me
For I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches, it aches with love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
A chance you might love me too
You give your hand to me, then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away and all I do is cry
You'll never, never, know how much I love you so
Smile the while you kiss me sad adieu
When the clouds roll by, I'll come to you
Then the skies will seem more blue
Down in lovers lane,
My dearie, wedding bells will ring so merrily
Every tear will be a memory (memory)
So wait and pray each night for me
Till we meet again
[Instrumental]
My dearie, wedding bells will ring so merrily
Every tear will be a memory (memory)
So wait and pray each night for me
Till we meet again
You can't be true dear
There's nothing more to say
I trusted you dear
Hoping we'd find a way
Your kisses tell me
That you and I are through
But I'll keep loving you
Although you can't be true
Clouds Hide the sun
In the skies that were blue
As my heart says farewell
To the joy that I knew
Love to be real
Is a love to be shared
But I know that you never cared
You can't be true dear
There's nothing more to say
I trusted you dear
Hoping we'd find a way
Your kisses tell me
That you and I are through
But I'll keep loving you
Although you can't be true
Yes I'll keep loving you
See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle
Just remember, darling all the while
You belong to me
See the market place in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me
I'll be so lonesome without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
And blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
And blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
And blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
Oh, for just the chance to love you
Would I love you, love you, love you
To take you in my arms
Has always been my goal
Sure as there's a moon above you
Would I love you, love you, love you
With all my heart and soul
With all my heart and soul
You ask me, would I love you if you let me
Eyes that see are eyes that know
Would I love you? What a question
When I'm yearning so
Oh, for just the chance to love you
Would I love you, love you, love you
To take you in my arms
Has always been my goal
Sure as there's a moon above you
Would I love you, love you, love you
With all my heart and soul
Dreaming, dreaming of you
With my eyes wide open I'm dreaming
Can it be true I'm holding you close to my heart?
With my eyes wide open I'm dreaming
You're with me now sharing a vow never to part
I'm so afraid to close my eyes afraid that I'll find
This lovely thrill is just a silly illusion
With my eyes wide open I'm dreaming
Do I deserve such a break?
Pinch me to prove I'm awake
I can't believe that you're really mine
With my eyes wide open I'm dreaming
Can it be true I'm holding you
With my eyes wide open I'm dreaming dreams of you
Do I deserve such a break?
Pinch me to prove I'm awake
I can't believe that you're really mine
(Why don't you believe me?), it's you I adore
Forever and ever, can I promise more?
I've told you so often the way that I care
Why don't you believe me?, it just isn't fair
Here is a heart that is lonely
Here is a heart you can take
Here is a heart for you only
That you can keep or break
How else can I tell you, what more can I do?
Why don't you believe me?, I love only you
Here is a heart that is lonely
Here is a heart you can take
Here is a heart for you only
That you can keep or break
How else can I tell you, what more can I do?
'Twas down by the river I met him
Under the old willow tree
The wind in the willow was crying
Didn't know it was crying for me
Wispering wind, don't whisper to me
Let me forget my misery
Whispering wind, don't whisper to me
Of a love that can never be
I remember the night that we parted
We kissed and I heard him sigh
Didn't know twas the last time I'd see him
Even though he was saying goodby
Wispering wind, don't whisper to me
Let me forget my misery
Whispering wind, don't whisper to me
Of a love that can never be
And now when I walk by the river
Alone with my memories
The wind in the willow is crying
and I know it is crying for me
Wispering wind, don't whisper to me
Let me forget my misery
Whispering wind, don't whisper to me
Of a love that can never be
..So I lit a little fire just to keep my snowman warm.
Did he slide back home to Snowland to become an Eskimo?
Where is my snowman?
Now there is no man.
Where did my snowman go?
...Has he gone to visit Rudolph, helpin' Santa through the snow?
Where did my snowman,
Where did my snowman,
Where did my snowman go?
I have sent a note to Santa. I am sure that he would know.
Where did my snowman,
Where did my ...
[from a Petula Clark recording:]
...children, but they said they didn't know.
Where did my snowman,
Where did my snowman,
Where did my snowman go?
Only yesterday, I met Jack Frost. I knew there'd be a storm,
So I lit a little bonfire just to keep my snowman warm.
Has he gone to visit Rudolph, helpin' Santa through the snow?...
...Where did my snowman,
Where did my snowman go?
Tell me, is he at the north pole?
Well, then, is he at the South Pole?
No, no, no!
Where did my snowman go?
Did he slide back home to Snowland to become an Eskimo?
Where did my snowman,
Where did my snowman,
Where did my snowman go?
Did he kiss the Christmas fairy...?
[from a Patti Page recording:]
... keep my snowman warm.
Did he slide back home to Snowland to become an Eskimo?
Where did my snowman,
Where did my snowman,
Where did my snowman go?
Did he go to Iceland?
No, no, no!
Well, did he go to Snowland?
No, no, no!
Where?
Where?
Where?
Where?
Where did...?
I can see his pipe and topper as they lie there in the snow.
Where did my snowman,
Where did my snowman,
Where did my snowman go?
I've been asking Ma and Poppa but they said they didn't know.
Where did my snowman,
Where did my snowman,
Where did my snowman go?
Only yesterday I met Jack Frost and knew there'd be a storm,
So I lit a little fire just to keep my snowman warm.
Did he slide back home to Snowland to become an Eskimo?

Oh my love
My darling
I’ve hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
As time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love
To me
Lonely rivers flow
To the sea
To the sea
To the open arms
Of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh
Wait for me, wait for me
I’ll be coming home
Wait for me.
Oh my love
My darling
I’ve hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
And I know that time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love
To me
To…..
Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh, so mellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow, follow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow
Try to remember the time of September
When love was an ember about to billow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow, follow.
Deep in December It's nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow
Deep in December It's nice to remember
The fire of September that made us mellow
Deep in December our hearts should remember
This is my song, this is my melody
This is my song, the very soul of me
Every note is a part of the love in my heart for you
Every word written there is a kind of a prayer
That you will love me too
This is my song, this my everything
Here is my heart, the song I sing
And I know if you'll stay when the words and the music are through
The hills are alive
With the sound of music
With songs they have sung
For a thousand years
The hills fill my heart
With the sound of music
My hearts want to sing every song
It hears
My heart wants to beat
Like the wings of the birds that rise
From the lake to the trees
My heart wants to sigh
Like a chime that flies from a church
On a breeze
To a laugh like a brook
When it trips and falls over stones
On its way
To sing through the night
Like a lark who is learning to pray
I go to the hills
When my heart is lonely
I know I will hear
What I've heard before
My heart will be blessed
With the sound of music
And I'll sing
Once
A time to be reapin', a time to be sowin'.
The green leaves of Summer are callin' me home.
It was so good to be young then, in the season of plenty,
When the catfish were jumpin' as high as the sky.
A time just for plantin', a time just for ploughin'.
A time just for livin', a place for to die.
'Twas so good to be young then, to be close to the earth,
Now the green leaves of Summer are callin' me home.
[---Instrumental ---]
('Twas so good to be young then, to be close to the earth,)
The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly
Then you and I came wanderin' by
And lost in a sigh were we
The shore was kissed by the sea and mist tenderly
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside
Here I go again
I hear those trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love
Here I slide again
About to take that ride again
Starry eyed again
Taking a chance on love
I thought that cards were a frame-up
I never would try
Now I'm taking that game up
And the ace of hearts is high
Things are mending now
I see a rainbow blending now
We'll have a happy ending now
Taking a chance on love
[Instrumental]
Things are mending now
I see a rainbow blending now
We'll have a happy ending now
I've got ::cling cling:: fsssss steam heat.
I've got ::cling cling:: fsssss steam heat.
I've got ::cling cling:: fsssss steam heat.
But i need your love to keep away the cold.
I've got ::cling cling:: fsssss steam heat.
I've got ::cling cling:: fsssss steam heat.
I've got ::cling cling:: fsssss steam heat.
But I can't get warm without your hand to hold.
The radiators hissin still I need your kissin to keep me from freezing each nite.
I've got a hot water bottle, but nothing i've got'll take the place of you holdin me tight.
I've got ::cling cling:: fsssss steam heat.
I've got ::cling cling:: fsssss steam heat.
I've got ::cling cling:: fsssss steam heat.
But I need your love to keep away the cold.
They told me to throw some more coal in the boiler.
They told me to throw some more coal in the boiler.
They told me to throw some more coal in the boiler.
But that don't do no good.
They told me to pour some more oil in the burner.
They told me to pour some more oil in the burner.
They told me to pour some more oil in the burner.
But that don't do no good.
The radiators hissin still I need your kissin to keep me from freezing each nite.
I've got a hot water bottle, but nothing i've got'll take the place of you holdin me tight.
I've got ::cling cling:: fsssss steam heat.

I've got ::cling cling:: fsssss steam heat.
But I need your love to keep away the cold.
I need your love to keep away the cold
I need your love to keep away the cold
I peeked in to say goodnight
And then I heard my child in prayer
And for me some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair
All the stores were closed and shuttered
All the streets were dark and bare
In our town no scarlet ribbons
Not one ribbon for her hair
Through the night my heart was aching
Just before the dawn was breaking
I peeked in and on her bed in gay profusion, laying there
Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons, scarlet ribbons for her hair
If I live to be two hundred
I will never know from where
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons
Repeat after me
It's nice to talk with you
(It's nice to talk with you)
Repeat after me
I love your eyes
(I love your eyes)
Repeat after me
It's nice to walk with you
(It's nice to walk with you)
Every step leads us closer to paradise
And if you approve of the song my heart is singing
There's just one way to let me know
So repeat after me
I'll always love you
(I'll always love you)
I'll always love you
(I'll always love you)
But tell me once more
Of the song your heart is singing
I like to hear it once again
Then repeat after me
I'll always love you
(I'll always love you)
I'll always love you
Please release me, let me go
I don't love you anymore
To live together is a sin
Release me and let me love again
I have found a new love dear
And I'll always want him near
His lips are warm while yours are cold
Release me my darling let me go
Oh, please release me, let me go
I don't love you anymore
To live together is a sin
Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me
He sailed at the dawning, all day I've been blue
Red sails in the sunset, I'm trusting in you
Swift wings you must borrow make straight for the shore
We marry tomorrow and he goes sailing no more
Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me
[--- Instrumental ---]
Swift wings you must borrow make straight for the shore
We marry tomorrow and he goes sailing no more
Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea
Raindrops keep falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling
So I just did me some talking to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleeping on the job
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free
I wen t around with my own little croud
The usual laughs, not often but loud
And in the world that I knew
I Didnt know about you.
Chasing after the ring on the merry-go-round
Just taking my fun where it could be found
And yet what else could I do
I Didnt know about you.
Darling, now I know
I had the loneliest yesterday;
Evry day
In your arms I know for once in my life;
Im living
Had a good time evry time I went out
Romance was the thing I kidded about
How could I know about love
I must make up my mind today;
What to have, what to hold:
A poor man's roses,
Or a rich man's gold
One's as wealthy as a king in a palace,
Though he's callous and cold.
He may learn to give his heart for love,
Instead of buying it with gold.
Then the poor man's roses,
And the thrill when we kiss
Will be memories of paradise
That I'll never miss.
And yet the hand that brings a rose tonight
Is the hand I will hold.
For the rose of love means more to me
Than any rich man's gold.
Then the poor man's roses
And the thrill when we kiss (when we kiss)
Will be memories of paradise
That I'll never miss.
And yet the hand that brings a rose tonight
Is the hand I will hold.
For the rose of love means more to me
Than any rich man's go-o-o-o-old
Than any rich man's gold.
ALTERNATE ENDING FROM PATTI'S RE-RECORDING:
Then the poor man's roses
And the thrill when we kiss
Will be memories of paradise
That I'll never miss.
And yet the hand that brings a rose tonight
Is the hand I will hold
For the rose of love means more to me
Than any rich man's gold.
Yes, the rose of love means more to me
Once in awhile will you try to give one little thought to me
Though someone else may be nearer your heart
Once in awhile will you dream of the moments I shared with you
Moments before we too drifted apart
In love's smoldering ember one spark may remain
If love still can remember, the spark may burn again
Oh, I know that I'll be contented with yesterday's memory,
Come sit by my side, little darlin'
Come lay your cool hand on my brow
Promise me that you will never
Be nobody's darlin' but mine.
Nobody's darlin' but mine, love
Be honest, be faithful, be kind
Promise me that you will never
Be nobody's darlin' but mine.
You're as sweet as the flowers of springtime
You're as pure as the dew from the rose
I had rather be somebody's darlin'
Than a poor girl that nobody knows.
My Mother is dead and in heaven
My Daddy has gone down below
Sister has gone to meet Mother
An where I'll go, nobody knows.
Goodbye, goodbye little darlin'
I'm leaving this cold world behind
Promise me that you will never
Forever my darling I'll love only you
And I will be faithful, too
Now and for always of my whole life through
That is my promise, my promise to you.
You are my happiness and you are my joy
All that is heavenly
I found in one man
Oh darling, my darling
I'll always be true
When the kisses get so long that you can't catch your breath
And the huggin' gets so strong that it's gotcha scared to death
Most people get married (married)
That's what they do-o-o
Most people get married (married)
And that's what I wanna do with you
When you only wanna walk (let's walk) together
Only wanna talk (let's talk) together
Only wanna touch (let's touch) too much
You never wanna say "Good night"
Most people get married (married)
That's what they do-o-o
I-I-I wanna get married (married)
An' I only wanna do it to you
When you light up like a flame each time your baby calls
And the way he says your name has gotcha climbin' walls
Most people get married (married)
That's what they do-o-o
Most people get married (married)
And that's what I wanna do with you
When you're feelin' in your heart (doo-wop), what I feel
Reelin' in your heart (doo-wop) like I reel
An' you wanna shout (you shout) "Look out,
Somethin's gotta give tonight"
Most people get married (married)
That's what they do-o-o
I-I-I wanna get married (married)
An' I only wanna do it to you
I-I-I wanna get married
I can't recall my mother
I don't remember dad
Mister and Mississippi was all I ever had
Oh, I was born to wander
I was born to roam
And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home
My cradle was the river
My school a river boat
My teacher was a gambler
The slickest one afloat
My teacher was a gambler
The slickest one afloat
He taught me not to gamble on a petticoat
Oh, I was born to wander
I was born to roam
And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home
Oh, darlin' how I love you
What more is there to say
I love you like a barefoot girl
Loves the summer day
The way a wanderin' gypsy
Loves the changing sea
Just like the restless river
Loves old New Orleans
I love a tiny village
A quiet country town
A house, a little garden
With kiddies runnin' 'round
You'd be a faithful husband
I'd be a trusty friend
Until I heard that steamboat
Comin' 'round the bend
Oh, I was born to wander
I was born to roam
And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home
Oh, I was born to wander
I was born to roam
Love letters straight from your heart
Keep us so near while apart
I'm not alone in the night
When I can have all the love you write
I memorize ev'ry line
I kiss the name that you sign
And darlin, then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart
(--- Instrumental ---])
And darlin, then I read again right from the start
Let me call you sweetheart
I'm in love with you
Let me hear you whisper that you love me too
Keep the lovelight glowing in your eyes so true
Let me call you sweetheart
I'm in love with you
(music picks up & gets jazzy)
Let me call you sweetheart
I'm in love with you
Let me hear you whisper that you love me too
Keep the lovelight glowing in your eyes so true
Let me call you sweetheart
Be sure it's true when you say "I love you"
It's a sin to tell a lie
Millions of hearts have been broken
Just because these words were spoken
I love you, yes I do, I love you
If you break my heart I'll die
So be sure it's true when you say "I love you"
It's a sin to tell a lie
[--- Instrumental ---]
Be sure it's true when you say "I love you"
How I'd love to hear the organ
In the chapel in the moonlight
While we're strolling down the aisle
Where roses entwine
How I'd love to hear you whisper
In the chapel in the moonlight
That the love light in your eyes
Forever will shine
Till the roses turn to ashes
Till the organ turns to rust
If you never come, I'll still be there
Till the moonlight turns to dust
How I'd love to hear the choir
In the chapel in the moonlight
As they sing "Oh promise me,
Forever be mine"
(Till the roses turn to ashes
Till the organ turns to rust)
If you never come, I'll still be there
Till the moonlight turns to dust
How I'd love to hear the choir
In the chapel in the moonlight
As they sing "Oh promise me,
For always and always
I'll remember today
How you held me and kissed me
In the tenderest way
Even though you may leave me
In my heart you will stay
Though I'm lonely tomorrow
I'll remember today
For as long as I live dear
I'll remember today
How you wispered "I love you"
In the tenderest way
Through the winds of December
And the magic of May
Through a million tomorrows
I'll remember today
I remember the music
And the welcoming skies
How the sound of your voice
Through the love in your eyes
So for always and always
I'll remember today
How you held me and kissed me
In the tenderest way
Through a million tomorrows
I'll remember today
What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your Trouble
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
What do you get when you kiss a guy?
You get enough germs to catchy pneumonia
After You do, he'll never phone ya
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
Don't tell me what it's all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of these chains, these chains that bind you
And that is why I'm here to remind you
What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
[--- Instrumental ---]
Out of these chains, these chains that bind you
And that is why I'm here to remind you
What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
The sun contains rain,
They lable vitamin D.
If you like vitamin D,
It's quite alright with me.
But I am here to say,
That I like vitamin love.
But I can't get vitamin love,
with that doggone sun above.
I don't care if the sun don't shine,
I'll get my lovin' in the evening time.
When I'm with my baby.
It's no fun with the sun around,
but I get going when the sun goes down,
and I meet my baby.
Thats when we kiss and kiss and kiss,
and then we kiss some more.
Don't ask how many times we kiss,
at a time like this,
who keeps score?
So I don't care if the sun don't shine,
I'll get my lovin' in the evening time.
When I'm with my baby.
I don't care if the sun don't shine,
I get my lovin' in the evening time.
When I'm with my baby.
It's no fun with the sun around,
but I get going when the sun goes down.
And I meet my baby.
That's when we kiss and kiss and kiss,
and then we kiss some more.
Don't ask how many times we kiss,
at a time like this,
who keeps score?
So I don't care if the sun don't shine,
I 'll get my lovin' any time.
Hush hush, sweet Charlotte
Charlotte, don't you cry
Hush hush, sweet Charlotte
He'll love you till he dies
Oh, hold him darling please hold him tight
And brush the tear from your eyes
You weep because you had a dream last night
You dreamed that he said goodbye
He held two roses within his hand
Two roses he gave to you
The red rose tells you of his passion
The white rose his love so true
Hush hush, sweet Charlotte
Charlotte, don't you cry
Hush hush, sweet Charlotte
He'll love you till he dies
And every night after he shall die
Yes every night when he's gone
The wind will sing to you this lullaby
Sweet Charlotte was loved by John
Hush hush, sweet Charlotte
Charlotte, don't you cry
Hush hush, sweet Charlotte
I saw the harbor lights,
They only told me we were parting.
The same old harbor lights,
That once brought you to me.
I watched the harbor lights,
How could I help if tears were starting?
Goodbye to tender nights,
Beside the silv'ry sea.
I long to hold you near,
And kiss you just once more.
But you were on the ship,
And I was on the shore.
Now I know lonely nights,
For all the while my heart is whisp'ring.
Some other harbor lights,
Will steal your love from me.
Now I know lonely nights,
For all the while my heart is whisp'ring.
Some other harbor lights,
Gone With the Wind
Just like a leaf that has flown away
Gone with the wind
My romance has blown away
Yesterday's kisses are still on my lips,
I've had a lifetime of heaven at my fingertips.
But now all-all is gone.
Gone is the rapture that fills my heart
Gone with the Wind
My romance has flown apart
Just like a flame
Love burned brightly, then became
An empty smoke ring that has gone,
Gone with the Wind.
Gone, gone, gone with the wind
Just like a leaf that has flown away
Gone with the wind
My romance has flown away
Yesterday's kisses are still, still on my lips,
I've had a lifetime of heaven at my fingertips.
But now all-all is gone.
Gone is the rapture that fills my heart
Gone with the Wind
My romance has flown apart
Just like a flame
Love burned brightly, then became
An empty smoke ring that has
Gone with the Wind.

Go on with the wedding;
Don't bother 'bout me.
Let me be forgotten,
Or just a memory.
I'll love you, dear, always,
But he loves you, too.
So go on with the wedding,
God bless both of you.
(spoken)
I hadn't seen Jim in years.
He'd been reported dead.
Though Jim was my true love,
I soon would marry Fred.
The wedding march was beginning
When Jim appeared that day.
With a cry, I ran to him,
But they all heard Jim say....
Go on with the wedding,
Don't bother 'bout me.
Let me be forgotten,
Or just a memory.
I'll love you, dear, always,
But he loves you, too.
So go on with the wedding.
God bless both of you.
(spoken)
I stood there, torn between two loves,
My Fred and my Jim.
Jim was gone for so long,
Yet I knew I still loved him.
But then Fred showed his true love;
He wouldn't stand in our way.
He placed my hand in Jim's,
And they all heard him say....
Go on with the wedding.
Don't bother 'bout me.
Let me be forgotten,
Or just a memory.
I'll love you, dear, always,
But he loves you, too.
So go on with the wedding.
'Detour, there's a muddy road ahead', detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign
Headed down life's crooked road, lots of things I never knowed
Because of me not knowin', I now pine
Trouble got in the trail, spent the next five years in jail
Should have read that detour sign
'Detour, there's a muddy road ahead', detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign
When I got right to the place where it said 'About face'
I thought that all my worries were behind
But the farther I go, more sorrow I know
Should have read that detour sign
'Detour, there's a muddy road ahead', detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign
When I got stuck in the mud all my hopes dropped with a thud
I guess that my heart strings are made of twine
Had no willpower to get from the hole that I'm in yet
Should have read that detour sign
'Detour, there's a muddy road ahead', detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign
Should have read that detour sign
The days of wine and roses
Laugh and run away
Like a child at play
Through a meadowland toward a closing door
A door marked "nevermore"
That wasn't there before
The lonely night discloses
Just a passing breeze
Filled with memories
Of the golden smile that introduced me
To, the days of wine and roses
And you
(The lonely night discloses)
Just a passing breeze
Filled with memories
Of the golden smile that introduced me
To, the days of wine and roses
(Dark moon), a way up high up in the sky
Oh, tell me why, oh, tell me why you've lost your splendor
(Dark moon), what is the cause your light withdraws
Is it because, is it because I've lost my love
Mortals have dreams of love's perfect schemes
But they don't realize that love will sometimes bring a
(Dark moon), a way up high up in the sky
Oh, tell me why, oh, tell me why you've lost your splendor
(Dark moon), what is the cause your light withdraws
Is it because, is it because I've lost my love
Mortals have dreams of love's perfect schemes
But they don't realize that love will sometimes bring a
(Dark moon), a way up high up in the sky
Oh, tell me why, oh, tell me why you've lost your splendor
(Dark moon), what is the cause your light withdraws
If you're a guy who's had a girl in each and every port
And you've forgot the rules of love that life has always taught
And if you broke as many hearts as ripples in a stream
Well, brother, here's the only way that you can be redeemed
Cross over the bridge
Cross over the bridge
Change your reckless way of livin'
Cross over the bridge
Leave you fickle past behind you
And true romance will find you
Brother, cross over the bridge
If you have built a boat to take you to the greener side
And if that boat is built of ev'ry lie you ever lied
You'll never reach the Promised Land of love, I guarantee
'Cause lies cannot hold water and you'll sink into the sea
Cross over the bridge
Cross over the bridge
Change your reckless way of livin'
Cross over the bridge
Leave you fickle past behind you
And true romance will find you
Brother, cross over the bridge
I know it isn't easy to resist temptation's call
But think of how your broken heart will hurt you when you fall
'Cause some day you will find that you are hopelessly in love
And she'll belong to someone else as sure as stars above
Cross over the bridge
Cross over the bridge
Change your reckless way of livin'
Cross over the bridge
Leave you fickle past behind you
And true romance will find you
Brother, cross over the bridge
Cross over the bridge
Cross over the bridge
Conquest
He was out to make a conquest
Didn't care what harm was done
Just as long as he won the prize
Conquest
She was just another conquest
Didn't care whose heart was broke
Love to him was a joke
'Til he looked into her eyes
And then in the strange way things happen
Their roles were reversed from that day
The hunted became the huntress
The hunter became the prey
Conquest
Now you know who made the conquest
She, with all her female guile
Led him helpless down the aisle
She had finally made a conquest
And then in the strange way things happen
Their roles were reversed from that day
The hunted became the huntres
The hunter became the prey
Conquest
Now you know who made the conquest
She, with all her female guile
Led him helpless down the aisle
Wise men say, only fools rush in.
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay, would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you.
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes,
Some things are meant to be
So take my hand,
Take my whole life too
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
T'is Grace have brought me safe thus far
And Grace will lead me home
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
They say you've found somebody new,
But that won't stop my loving you.
I just can't let you walk away,
Forget the love I had for you.
Guess I could find somebody, too,
But I don't want no one but you.
How could you leave without regret?
Am I that easy to forget?
Before you leave be sure you find
You want his love much more than mine.
'Cause I'll just say we've never met,
If I'm that easy to forget.
Before you leave be sure you find
You want his love much more than mine.
'Cause I'll just say we've never met,
If I'm that easy to forget.
Hi-lee, hi-lo, hi-lup up up
Hi-lee, hi-lo, hi-left
Hi-lee, hi-lo, hi-lup up up
Hi-lee, hi-lo, hi-left
Oh, I was left, left, right, right
Out of your arms
Oh, I was left, left, right, right
Out of your charms
My heart said yes, right, right
Right from the start
Now I am left, right, right, left
Out of your heart
Oh, you were such a cute marine, I really was impressed
You said of all the girls you knew that you liked me the best
I gave you all my kisses, surrendered all my charms
But time revealed, you played the field and Ireland
I was left, left, right, right
Out of your arms
Oh, I was left, left, right, right
Out of your charms
My heart said yes, right, right
Right from the start
Now I am left, right, right, left
Out of your heart
You said you'd look me up, up, up when you got back to town
But when you hit the city all you did was look around
I caught you with a red-head and, baby, though you said
You're merely warmin' up for me, I figure
I was left, left, right, right
Out of your arms
Oh, I was left, left, right, right
Out of your charms
My heart said yes, right, right
Right from the start
Now I am left, right, right, left
Out of your heart
You called me on the telephone and said, "Now Suzie dear
You're bein' mighty silly in believin' all you hear
You know I love you only so Suzie save your breath
But, since my name was Cindy Lou, I figured
I was left, left, right, right
Out of your arms
Oh, I was left, left, right, right
Out of your charms
My heart said yes, right, right
Right from the start
Now I am left, right, right, left
Out of your heart
Hi-lee, hi-lo, hi-lup up up
Hi-lee, hi-lo, hi-left
Hi-lee, hi-lo, hi-lup up up
Hi-lee, hi-lo, hi-left
Hi-lee, hi-lo, hi-lup up up
Hi-lee, hi-lo, hi-left
Hi-lee, hi-lo, hi-lup up up
All my love, I give you all my love
The skies may fall, my love
But I will still be true
All my sighs will disappear at last
Now that you're here at last
My heart belongs to you
Ohh, never let me go, you thrill me so
I can see as I recall my life
I've waited all my life to give you all my love
Ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay
Bow, caballero and tip your sombrero
To your senorita, the lovely Chiquita
Waiting so long for you and your song
While you are playing, her heart will be swaying
She will surrender her kisses so tender
To you she will cling, the moment that you sing
All my love, I give you all my love
The skies may fall, my love
But I will still be true
All my sighs will disappear at last
Now that you're here at last
My heart belongs to you
Oh, never let me go, you thrill me so
I can see as I recall my life
I've waited all my life to give you all my love
Strange dear, but true dear,
When I'm close to you, dear,
The stars fill the sky,
So in love with you am I.
Even without you,
My arms fold about you,
You know, darling, why,
So in love with you am I.
In love with the night mysterious,
The night when you first were there,
In love with my joy delirious
When I knew that you could care.
So taunt me and hurt me,
Deceive me, desert me.
I'm yours 'til I die,
So in love, so in love,
(Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream)
Woke up this mornin' and I looked around
So disappointed, I laid back down
Oh, what a dream, oh, what a dream I had last night
Dreamed that I held you in my arms
But I'm still waitin' for that day to come
Oh, what a dream, oh, what a dream I had last night
Dreamed we were walkin' down the aisle
The organ was playing 'Here Comes The Bride'
You looked up at me, you began to smile
When I looked around everybody began to cry
I opened my eyes and you weren't there
All of my happiness just disappeared
Oh, what a dream, oh, what a dream I had last night
Oh, what a dream, oh, what a dream I had last night
Oh, what a dream
Oh, what a dream
Oh, what a dream
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 dancin'
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
Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee
Allegheny Moon, I need your light
To help me find romance tonight
So shine, shine, shine on tonight
Allegheny Moon, your silver beams
Can lead the way to golden dreams
So shine, shine, please shine, shine
High among the stars so bright above
The magic of your lamp of love, can make him mine
Allegheny Moon it's up to you, please see what you can do
For me and for my one and only love
Allegheny Moon
So shine, shine, shine
High among the stars so bright above
The magic of your lamp of love can make him mine
Allegheny Moon it's up to you, please see what you can do
For me and for my one and only love
If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air
Quaint little villages here and there
(You're sure)You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod
(Cape Cod, that old Cape Cod)
If you like the taste of a lobster stew
Served by a window with an ocean view
(You're sure)You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod
Winding roads that seem to beckon you
Miles of green beneath a sky of blue
Church bells chimin' on a Sunday morn
Remind you of the town where you were born
If you spend an evening you'll want to stay
Watching the moonlight on Cape Cod Bay
You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod
(aah, aah)
If you spend an evening you'll want to stay (on Cape Cod Bay)
Watching the moonlight on Cape Cod Bay
You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod
You're sure to fall in love
CHORUS
Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee it gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning to the mockin' bird's trill
Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee
There's peace and goodwill
You're welcome as the flowers on Mockin'bird Hill
When the sun in the mornin' peeps over the hill
And kisses the roses 'round my windowsill
Then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill
Of those birds in the treetops on Mockin'bird Hill
CHORUS:
When it's late in the evenin' I climb up the hill
And survey all my kingdom while everything's still
Only me and the sky and an old whippoorwill
Singing songs in the twilight on Mockin'bird Hill
CHORUS X 3 with FADE on third
END OF PAGE'S VERSION
It has been reported (but I can't confirm) that other versions may contain an
additional verse:
Got a three cornered plow and an acre to till
And a mule that I bought for a ten dollar bill
There's a tumble-down shack and a rusty old mill,
Throw mama from the train a kiss, a kiss
Wave mama from the train a goodbye
Throw mama from the train a kiss a kiss
And don't cry, my baby, don't cry
How I miss that sweet lady with her old-country touch
Miss her quaint broken English called *Pennsylvania Dutch*
I can still see her there at the station that day
Calling out to her baby as the train pulled away
Throw mama from the train a kiss, a kiss
Dry mama all your tears, won't you try?
Throw mama from the train a kiss, a kiss
And eat mama up all her pie
Can't believe that she's gone now, it's a lonely old town
Yet I know that her heavenly love keeps looking down
'cause whenever I happen to be passing through
I could swear she was there with the warmth I once knew
And I
Throw mama from the train a kiss, a kiss
Wave mama from the train a goodbye
Throw mama from the train a kiss, a kiss
Go, go, go
Oh, let me go, let me go, let me go, lover
Let me be set me free from your spell
You made me weep, cut me deep I can't sleep, lover
I was cursed from the first day I fell
You don't want me
But you want me to go on wanting you
How I pray that
You will say that we're through
Please turn me loose what's the use, let me go, lover
Let me go, let me go, let me go
You made me weep, cut me deep I can't sleep, lover
I was cursed from the first day I fell
You don't want me
But you want me to go on wanting you
How I pray that
You will say that we're through
Please turn me loose what's the use, let me go, lover
Let me go, let me go, let me go
I went to your wedding
Although I was dreading
The thought of losing you
The organ was playing my poor heart kept saying
"Your dreams, your dreams are through"
You came down the aisle, wearing a smile
A vision of loveliness
I uttered a sigh, whispered goodbye
Goodbye to my happiness
Your mother was crying
Your father was crying
And I was crying too
The teardrops were falling
Because we were losing you
You came down the aisle, wearing a smile
A vision of loveliness
I uttered a sigh, then whispered goodbye
Goodbye to my happiness
Oh, your mother was crying
Your father was crying
And I was crying too
The teardrops were falling
It was winter when you told me you were leavin'
I cried, I cried, I cried "Please, don't go"
Came the springtime with its love song so deceivin'
I cried, oh, how I cried, no one will know
Then the summer came and went with no word at all
I knew that it was over as the leaves began to fall
Wintertime, summertime, spring and fall, it's true
I'll always be cryin' over you
I cried, I cried, I cried "Please, don't go"
Yes, I cried, oh, how I cried, no one will know
Then the summer came and went with no word at all
I knew that it was over as the leaves began to fall
It was winter when you told me you were leavin'
I cried, I cried, I cried "Please, don't go"
Came the springtime with its love song so deceivin'
I cried, oh, how I cried, no one will know
Then the summer came and went with no word at all
I knew that it was over as the leaves began to fall
Wintertime, summertime, spring and fall, it's true
I'll always be crying over you, sweetheart
How much is that doggie in the window?
The one with the waggly tail
How much is that doggie in the window?
I do hope that doggie is for sale
I must take a trip to California
And leave my poor sweetheart alone
If he has a dog, he won't be lonesome
And the doggie will have a good home
How much is that doggie in the window?
The one with the waggly tail
How much is that doggie in the window?
I do hope that doggie is for sale
I read in the papers, there are robbers
With flash lights that shine in the dark
My love needs a doggie to protect him
And scare them away with one bark
I don't want a bunny or a kitty
I don't want a parrot that talks
I don't want a bowl of little fishies
You can't take a goldfish for walks
How much is that doggie in the window?
The one with the waggly tail
How much is that doggie in the window?
Honey you've been fibbin'
Tellin' me such lies
Know that you've been givin'
Ev'ry guy the eye
Honey you've been foolin'
From the very start
Think of what you're doin'
To my achin' heart
Don'tcha know I'm sighin' ?
Don'tcha know I'm crying' ?
Don'tcha know I'm tryin' ?
To believe yuh ?
Oo, Oo, Oo, Honey I'm just livin'
For a love that's true
When you stop you fibbin'
I'll come back to you
Honey you've been fibbin'
You'll be gone when the dawn comes tomorrow
You'll be far, far away out at sea
So I give you this croce di oro
It will bring you home safely to me
Ev'ry hour we're apart will be sorrow
In the chapel a candle will burn
Take my love and this croce di oro
I will pray for you till you return
My darling, my darling, my darling
Do you see that star in the blue?
Each night I will give it a message
And the star will give it to you
Till we meet on that far-off tomorrow
May the Good Lord be with you and then
With the help of this croce di oro
You'll be back in my arms once again
With the help of this croce di oro
Wish I was your child
Hold me in your heart
We could love so free
And no, we'd never part
But I'm not a child
And wishes are
Just child's play, my love
Now I'll never be afraid
Of who I am
And who I'm not
Come what may
Wish I was a bird
I'd warm you in my wings
Safe from all the storms
You know true love can bring
But I'm not a bird
And wishes can
Just fly away, my love
And I'll never be afraid
Of who I am
And who I'm not
Come what may
Oh, I'm no fool
Shining in your eyes
Of the above stars, my love
No, we'll never be afraid
Of who we are
And who we're not
Come what may
Of who we are
And who we're not
Come what may
Wish I was your child
Wish I was a bird
We were waltzing together to a dreamy melody
When they called out, "Change partners" and you waltzed away from me
Now my arms feel so empty as I gaze around the floor
And I'll keep on changing partners till I hold you once more
Though we danced for one moment and too soon we had to part
In that wonderful moment something happened to my heart
So I'll keep changing partners till you're in my arms and then
Oh, my darlin' I will never change partners again
So I'll keep changing partners till you're in my arms and then
Oh, my darlin' I will never change partners again
Oh, my darlin' I will never change partners again
Another time, another place
We'll be together again
This kiss, this same embrace
Will be more wonderful then
Though goodbye is a sad time
Be glad we had time
To fall in love
I need my love with you
When shadows grow, I'll miss the glow
That only you can provide
But then, I'll just pretend
You're still here at my side
Now give me once more that kiss I adore
Then I'll let you go
But we'll meet another time
Another place, I know
We'll meet again
But now give me once more that kiss I adore
Then I'll let you go just for now
But we'll meet another time
Another place, I know
And so to sleep again, As if I'll ever sleep again.
These restless nights go on Away from you;
And so to dream again, As if I'll ever dream again.
My darling since you're gone, My dreams are through.
No other arms can ease this ache within my heart;
No other lips can kiss away these tears that start.
And so to sleep again, As if I'll ever sleep again,
As if I'll ever love again Anyone but you.
No other arms can ease this ache within my heart;
No other lips can kiss away these tears that start.
And so to sleep again, As if I'll ever sleep again,
I let a song go out of my heart
It was the sweetest melody
I know I lost heaven
'Cause you were the song
Since you and I have drifted apart
Life doesn't mean a thing to me
Please come back, sweet music
I know I was wrong
Am I too late to make amends?
You know that we were meant to be
More than just friends
Just friends
I let a song go out of my heart
Believe me, darling when I say
I won't know sweet music
Until you return someday
Am I too late to make amends?
You know that we were meant to be
More than just friends
Just friends
I let a song go out of my heart
Believe me, darling when I say
I won't know sweet music
Until you return someday
Hey there, mister, build a fence around your sister
It's the boys' night out
Hey there, buster, it's the Injuns after Custer
It's the boys' night out
They're out to do the town and before they're through
It's bound to be likened to
The night they lost the Titanic and the Wall Street panic
What they're seekin' is a little cheek-to-cheekin'
It's the boys' night out
And that moon's about as big as a honeydew
Well, it's the boys' night out and they're so romantic
But I'll give you a clue
What the boys are out after, the girls are out after, too
Boys' night out
[Additional instrumental]
It's the boys' night out and they're so romantic
But I'll give you a clue
What the boys are out after
[Male backups] (the boys are out after)
The girls are out after
[Female backups] (the girls are out after)
I'm wondering why
I'm so sad and lonely
Since we drifted apart
We laughed and we loved
But we said goodbye
But you're still here
In my heart
The lonely nights
Seem to be haunting me
With memories
Always of you
I'm wondering
Should we have said goodbye
I hope you're wondering too
The lonely nights
Seem to be haunting me
With memories
Always of you
I'm wondering
Should we have said goodbye
Gayety often found its way into my tower
Night after night it was filled with happy people
Thin happy people
Tall happy people
Short happy people
Old and young
Many races from many places
My tower was filled with nice neighbourly sounds
Phones ringing,knocks on the door
Many conversations competing madly for attention
And the heart warming sound of people laughing out loud
We talked mostly about New York
The concerts we had attended(The humidity)
The plays we had seen(The humidity)
The musicals on Broadway and(The humidity)
We had artists
We had musicians and we had a wonderful waiter,a waiter
named Noah
Noah,Noah,where is Noah
where is Noah here comes Noah now
Empty the astrays
Get out some ice
`Cause we´re having the party and the people are nice
Clear off the table
Order us some chow
Repeat after me
It's nice to talk with you
(It's nice to talk with you)
Repeat after me
I love your eyes
(I love your eyes)
Repeat after me
It's nice to walk with you
(It's nice to walk with you)
Every step leads us closer to paradise
And if you approve of the song my heart is singing
There's just one way to let me know
So repeat after me
I'll always love you
(I'll always love you)
I'll always love you
(I'll always love you)
But tell me once more
Of the song your heart is singing
I like to hear it once again
Then repeat after me
I'll always love you
(I'll always love you)
I'll always love you
You're watching your watch
And I know what's on your mind
There's someone home waiting
And you're way over time
What could be so right
Is as wrong as can be
Go on home, you don't belong here with me
I love you, I love you, I love only you
But the one home who's waiting
She loves you, too
She's watching and she's wonderin'
Oh where can you be
Go on home, you don't belong here with me
Go on home, you don't belong here with me
Though I want you and I need you desperately
To hide here in the darkness
Is as wrong as can be
Go on home, you don't belong here with me
I'd walk for miles - cry or smile
For mama and daddy
I want them - I want them to know
How I feel - My love is real
For my mama and daddy
I want them to know - I love them so.
CHORUS
In my heart the joy tears start 'cause I'm happy
And I pray every day for Mom and Pappy
And each night -
I'd walk for miles - cry or smile
For my mama and daddy
I want them to know - I love them so.
I'd fight in wars - do all the chores
For my mama and daddy
I want them to live on - til they're called
I'd work and slave - and never rave
For mama and daddy
Because I know I owe them my all.
CHORUS
Hey cabbie
I´m calling you cabbie
I´m coming,be right there
He won´t know their names
He won´t know where they come from
Or where they go
He only knows
They´ll be in love
This close to the dawn the ones that come to ride with
All we seem to be helplessly in love He´ll take you
around the park if you will though the night is still
He´ll find a breeze to call your own
(never leave me)
(never leave me)
He´d be happy too
(never leave me)
(never leave me)
He´ll take you around again while you´re young
Take you to the stars that shine upon Manhattan Tower
(never leave me)
(never leave me)
He´ll take you around again ooh,ooh,ooh
He won´t know their names
He won´t know where they come from or where they go
He only knows they´re so in love(Hey cabbie)
They´re so in love,they´re so in love
Hey cabbie,hey,hey cabbie
They´re so in love
It´s not my cup of tea
They won´t throw rice at me for a while yet
I have no plans to wed
Be resolutly led down the aisle yet with a smile yet
When the organ plays oh promise me
I will be an absentee
For the nun such used to be fancy and free
They can throw old shoes but they won´t hit me
Not me
I wanna dance
Until the darkest heavens turn gray
Until the dawn strolls in with the day
Then I´ll say
Don´t let the band get away
But matrimony
I´m not ready yet
Married I can always get
It´s not for me
With all its smug conuvial joys
That ever constant smashing all toys
Wrecks your poise
While hubby is out with the boys
No wedding gown
For this silhouette
Married I can always get
I´ll live the life that I´m used to
I´ll get a ring when I choose to
Because by now I have found
That the nicest ring are on a merry-go-round
I´ll be blasse
With any man who´s motives are base
I´ll keep each wiley wolf in his place
`Till the chase finally ends in embrace
But as far wedlock unlock me my pet
Married I can always get
You fell an urge with certain parts of love you´re
inspired
But when you try to find you desire
He´s retired business men are quite easily tired
The very fact just gets me upset
Married I can always get
I wanna find an honest swain who gayley pursue
And when he drinks champagne from shoe
That´s my cue to act like a shy ingenue
as we croon a lovers duet
Married I can always get
I´ll go the way that the wind blows
Along the path that is primrose
I will kiss anybody who will kis me first
I´ll take a cruise
Into a more adventurous clime
And if the captain´s still in his prime
He will find you don´t have to sail all the time
I wanna stick to romantic roulette
Married I can always get
But not yet
But not yet
But not yet
Yet,yet,yet
All I do is dream of you the whole night through
With the dawn I still go on and dream of you
You're every thought, you're every thing
You're every song I ever sing
Summer, Winter, Autumn and Spring
And were there more than twenty four hours a day
They'd be spent in sweet content dreaming away
When skies are gray, when skies are blue
Morning, noon and night time too
All I do the whole day through is dream of you
All I do is dream of you the whole night through
With the dawn I still go on and dream of you
You're every thought, you're every thing
You're every song I ever sing
Summer, winter, autumn and spring
And were there more than twenty four hours a day
They'd be spent in sweet content dreaming away
When skies are gray, when skies are blue
(Ray Noble)
I hadn't anyone till you
I was a lonely one till you
I used to lie awake and wonder
If there could be someone in the wide world
Just made for me
Now I see I had to save my love
I had to save my love for you
I never gave my love till you
And through my lonely heart demanding it
Cupid took a hand in it
I hadn't anyone till you
(I had to save my love for you)
(I never gave my love till you)
And through my lonely heart demanding it
Cupid took it took a hand in it
Because I still get a thrill thinking of you
And I still feel your lips kissing me too
Although our love affair wasn't to be
I wonder if you care care about me
I still remember that night under the moon
I recall that it all ended too soon
I can't believe you're gone memories linger on
'Cause I still get a thrill thinking of you
I still remember that night under the moon
I recall that it all ended too soon
I can't believe you're gone memories linger on
(Someone just, just like you)
(Someone just, just like you)
Belonging to someone is a wonderful, wonderful thing
Knowing there's someone who cares makes my heart sing
(My heart sings, it ting-a-lings)
Belonging to someone can be worth more than silver or gold
Love is a gift from above to have and to hold
(Hold me tight, hold me tight)
To be alone yet never lonely
Is to reach your shining star
When you have found your one and only
How lucky, lucky you are
Belonging to someone is a heavenly dream that comes true, oh, yes, it does
Sweet as a beautiful song written for two
Oh, how I long to belong to someone like you
(Someone just, just like you)
Trust in me oh trust
Trust in me
In all that you do
Have the faith
That I have in you
Love will see
Us through
As long as you trust in me
Trust in me
Come to me
When things go wrong
Plead to me
And I'll be strong
We can get
Along
As long as you trust in me
While there's a moon on high
While there's a bird to fly
While there's a you you and I
You can be sure I love you
Stand beside
Me all of the while
Face the future
Face it with a smile
Trust in me
And I'll be worthy of you
Trust in me
And I'll be worthy of you
Trust in me (I'll be worthy of you)
Trust in me (I'll be worthy of you)
Trust in me (I'll be worthy of you)
March marches on but softly like the snow
And I for one am glad to see it go
I´ve had enough of winter trials
I love the summer and a smile
Just like a lion old march came roamin´ in
And like a lamb stealing it out again
So look ahead the weather is clear
March marches on and spring is here
I`m having just as much fun as if I had good sense
Yes I´m having just as much fun as if I had good sense
`Cause I love the kind of music that represents
(repeat twice)
Your hair is brown
Your eyes are blue
And here´s the kind of feeling I have for you
You´re knocking me out
You´re knocking me out
You´re knocking me out
I´m begining to discover what love is all about
Just like a lion old march came roamin´ in
And like a lamb stealing it out again
So look ahead the weather is clear
March marches on and spring is here
Someone told someone and someone told you
But they wouldn't hurt you, not much
Since everyone spread the story
With his own little personal touch
Do nothin' till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seam of anyone's dream
Is over my head
Do nothin' till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you've heard
I haven't a chance
True I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I'm untrue?
When we're apart the words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothin' till you hear it from me
And you never will
Do nothin' till you hear from me
Do nothin' till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seam of anyone's dream
Is over my head
Do nothin' till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you've heard
I haven't a chance
True I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I'm untrue?
When we're apart the words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothin' till you hear it from me
I'm gonna paper all my walls with your love letters
And invite you over some night
I'm gonna read you every line where you promised to be mine
And show you all the vows you made in black and white
But if you think you're fooling me with your love love letters
Well baby, now it's time you knew the score
I'm gonna find somebody new to write me love letters
And paper them all over yours
I'm gonna paper all my walls with your love letters
And invite you over some night
I'm gonna read you every line where you promised to be mine
And show you all the vows you made in black and white
But if you think you're fooling me with your love love letters
Well baby, now it's time you knew the score
I'm gonna find somebody new to write me love letters
And paper them all over yours
I once had a doll
That was all dressed in white
I called her my baby
And I'd hold her tight Her eyes were so blue
And her cheeks were so red
But I loved her most of all
Each time she said... Mama, mama, mama, mama
One little word she knew
Mama, mama, mama, mama
To me it meant, I love you My dolly was waiting
When I'd want to play
And I always knew
What she wanted each day I'd wash her and feed her
And put her to bed
But I'd never leave her
Until she said... Mama, mama, mama, mama
One little word she knew
Mama, mama, mama, mama
To me it meant, I love you Then came the time
I remember the day
I wrapped her in paper
And put her away Now I've got a secret
Sometimes when I'm blue
I still get a thrill again
Listening to... Mama, mama, mama, mama
One little word she knew
Mama, mama, mama, mama
Woke up this morning and I looked around
So disappointed, I laid back down
Oh, what a dream, what a dream
I had last night
Dreamed I held you in my arms
But I'm still waitin' for that day to come
Oh, what a dream (what a dream)
what a dream (what a dream)
I had last night
Dreamed we were walkin' down the aisle
The organ was playing "Here Comes the Bride"
You looked out at me and you began to smile
When I looked around everybody began to cry
I opened my eyes, you weren't there
All of my happiness just disappeared
Oh, what a dream (what a dream)
what a dream (what a dream)
I had last night
I opened my eyes, you weren't there
All of my happiness just disappeared
Oh, what a dream (what a dream)
what a dream (what a dream)
I had last night
Oh, what a dream (oh, what a dream)
what a dream (oh, what a dream)
