James Last (also known as "Hansi") (born Hans Last, 17 April 1929, Bremen, Germany) is a German composer and big band leader. His "happy music" made his numerous albums best-sellers in Germany and the United Kingdom. His composition, "Happy Heart", became an international success in interpretations by Andy Williams and Petula Clark. According to the British Hit Singles & Albums book, he has reportedly sold in excess of seventy million albums worldwide.
Last's father was an official at the public works department of the city of Bremen and he grew up in the suburb of Sebaldsbrück. He learned to play the piano from the age of 12, then switched to double bass as a teenager. His home city was heavily bombed in World War II and he ran messages to air defence command posts during raids. At 14 he was entered in the Bückeburg Military Music School of the German Wehrmacht.
After the fall of the Nazis, he joined Hans-Gunther Österreich's Radio Bremen Dance Orchestra in 1946. In 1948, he became the leader of the Last-Becker Ensemble, which performed for seven years. During that time, he was voted as the best bassist in the country by a German jazz poll for three consecutive years, from 1950–1952. After the Last-Becker Ensemble disbanded, he became the in-house arranger for Polydor Records, as well as for a number of European radio stations. For the next decade, he helped arrange hits for artists like Helmut Zacharias, Freddy Quinn, Lolita, Alfred Hause and Caterina Valente.
James Vernon Taylor (born March 12, 1948) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. A five-time Grammy Award winner, Taylor was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2000.
Taylor achieved his major breakthrough in 1970 with the #3 single "Fire and Rain" and had his first #1 hit the following year with "You've Got a Friend", a recording of Carole King's classic song. His 1976 Greatest Hits album was certified Diamond and has sold 12 million US copies. Following his 1977 album, JT, he has retained a large audience over the decades. His commercial achievements declined slightly until a big resurgence during the late 1990s and 2000s, when some of his best-selling and most-awarded albums (including Hourglass, October Road and Covers) were released.
James Taylor was born at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, on March 12, 1948, where his father, Isaac M. Taylor, was a resident physician. His father was from a well-off family of Southern Scottish ancestry. His mother, the former Gertrude Woodard, had studied singing with Marie Sundelius at the New England Conservatory of Music and was an aspiring opera singer before the couple's marriage in 1946. James was the second of five children, the others being Alex (1947-1993), Kate (born 1949), Livingston (born 1950), and Hugh (born 1952).

James Whittaker (February 28, 1751 – July 20, 1787) was the second leader of the Shakers. He became leader following the death of Mother Ann Lee. Under Whittaker’s lead, the first Shaker house for public worship was built in 1785. In 1787 the Millennial Church of the United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing, was formally organized at Mount Lebanon. The church at Mount Lebanon became the model for all other Shaker communes. After James Whittaker’s death in 1787, Joseph Meacham became the next leader of the Shakers.
Everybody needs a little time away,
I heard her say, from eachother.
Even lovers need a holiday,
far away, from eachother.
Hold me now.
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry.
I just want you to stay.
After all that we've been through.
I will make it up to you, I promise you. ( baby)
And after all that's been said and done.
You're just the part of me I can't let go.
Couldn't stand to be kept away,
Not for a day, from your body. ( not even a day)
Wouldn't want to be swept away, (away)
far away, from the one that I love.
Hold me now.
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry.
I just want you to know. (you to no)
Hold me now.
I really want to tell you I'm sorry.
I could never've let you go.
After all that we've been through.
I will make it up to you.
I promise you.
And after all that's been said and done.
You're just a part of me I can't let go. ( i cant let
After all that we've been through.
I will make it up to.
I promise to.
You're gonna be the lucky one.
(((Music changes to Get Away)))
When we get there gonna jump in the air.
No one sees us cause there's nobody there.
After all you know we really don't care.
[instrumental piece of music]
We are down, we are crazy fools everyday at school.
Teachers here, teachers there,
Books and books, they are everywhere.
Come on boys, we need to dance, we have got a good
chance.
Lay your problems on the floor, clap your hands and
sing once more:
Everybody, lets go to the king,
We can dance there, dance and eat an ice-cream.
Everybody dancing all night long,
Try to do it, sing a happy song.
Music, dancing in the night, we can get so high,
For no reason no long stop, nows the time to go to the
top.
Its a sweeter happy song, well sing all night long.
Lay your problems on the floor, clap your hands and
sing once more:
Everybody, lets go to the king,...
Its time to dance, its time to sing, sing a happy song,
a happy song.
Lets go, lets go boys, come with me and sing, sing a
happy song.
Come on boys, we need to dance, we all have got a good,
good chance.
Lay your problems on the floor, clap your hands and
sing once more.
Music sound in the night, we all can get so high,
For no reason no long stop, nows the time to go to the
top.
We are down, we are crazy fools everyday at school. ...
Come on boys, we need to dance, we have got a good
chance. ...
Everybody, lets go to the king. ...
Lets go, lets go boys, come with me and sing, sing a
happy song.
I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me
To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars
The morning fog may chill the air, I don't care
My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
’this could be heaven or this could be hell’
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the hotel california
Any time of year, you can find it here
Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls
friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the captain,
’please bring me my wine’
He said, ’we haven’t had that spirit here since
nineteen sixty nine’
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...
Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin’ it up at the hotel california
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said ’we are all just prisoners here, of our
own device’
And in the master’s chambers,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can’t kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
’relax,’ said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you,
That is how I know you go on.
Far across the distance and spaces between us
You have come to show you go on.
Near, far, wherever you are,
I believe that the heart does go on.
Once more, you open the door
And you're here in my heart,
And my heart will go on and on.
Love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime,
And never let go till we're gone.
Love was when I loved you, one true time I hold to.
In my life we'll always go on.
Near, far, wherever you are,
I believe that the heart does go on.
Once more, you open the door
And you're here in my heart,
And my heart will go on and on.
You're here, there's nothing to fear,
And I know that my heart will go on.
We'll stay forever this way.
You are safe in my heart,
Somewhere, my love, there will be songs to sing
Although the snow covers the hopes of Spring
Somewhere a hill blossoms in green and gold
And there are dreams, all that your heart can hold
Someday we'll meet again, my love
Someday whenever the Spring breaks through
You'll come to me out of the long-ago
Warm as the wind, soft as the kiss of snow
Till then, my sweet, think of me now and then
Godspeed, my love, till you are mine again
Someday we'll meet again, my love
Someday whenever that Spring breaks through
You'll come to me out of the long-ago
Warm as the wind, and as soft as the kiss of snow
Till then, my sweet, think of me now and then
Maybe I didn't treat you Quite as good as I should have Maybe I didn't love you Quite as often as I could have Little things I should have said and done I just never took the time
You were always on my mind You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn't hold you All those lonely, lonely times And I guess I never told you I'm so happy that you're mine If I make you feel second best Girl, I'm sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died Give me, give me one more chance To keep you satisfied, satisfied
Ihr koennt uns nachts anrufen, Kollegen.
So gegen 24 Uhr meinetwegen.
Euch ueber all' die Nervensaegen aufregen.
Und selbst, wenn du meinst,
das du uns dumm erscheinst, weil du vor Kummer weinst,
dann waehl die Nummer eins nach harten Schlaegen.
"Nuetzt ja nichts" - wie wir zu sagen pflegen.
Wir leihen euch gerne unser Ohr, wenn euch was stoert - hoert, hoert!
Forever or however you want it , word, word.
Haltet mich bitte nicht fuer daemlich,
doch ich bin echt erstaunt, die Leute laecheln so wenigund sind oft schlecht gelaunt.
Dann wird's jetzt Zeit fuer den Sound von den Jungs,
die schon weit vor ihrer Schullaufbahn cool drauf waren.
Pass mal auf, hoert mal zu; ich hab' an euch 'n Haufen Fragen:
Warum seid ihr so hektisch, wie elektrisch aufgeladen?
Warum kenn man mich mit 'nem Charme wie Suesswaren,
und dich kennt man so nicht - nur mit 'nem Gesicht wie 'n Griesgram.
Ihr seid so nervoes, ich bin locker und geloest.
Ich bin schon beim fiesen Gruselschocker eingedoest.
Ich red' nicht von Problemen sondern von jenen, die nur so tun als ob.
Scheiss drauf, sonst dreht dein Kreislauf durch wie 'n Hoolahop.
Man sieht, wie der Kopf raucht, wenn man euch zuguckt.
Ihr macht den obersten Knopf auf, denn es steigt der Blutdruck,
und spricht euch jemand an, als ob ihr bescheuert waerd,
geht ihr ploetzlich hoch wie 'n Feuerwerk.
Dabei muesst ihr nicht verkrampft sein.
Schmiert einfach 'n ganz klein bisschen Franzbranntwein auf euer Tanzbein.
Und wenn ihr trotzalledem nicht weiterkommt,ruft uns an; wir leihen euch unsere Zeit umsonst.
Ihr koennt uns nachts anrufen, Kollegen.
So gegen 24 Uhr meinetwegen.

Forever or however you want it , word, word.
Du meinst, diese Welt ist 'ne muffige Gruft voller Blutsauger,
drum gehst du staendig in die Luft, wie 'n Hubschrauber.
Persoenlich glaube ich ja, so 'n wutschnaubender Budenzauber,
ist nicht so besonders dufte fuer die Zuschauer.
Unter uns, Jungs: da sieht ja 'n Blinder mit 'm Krueckstock,du bist furchtbar aufgeregt, wie kleine Kinder bei Hitchcock.
Nicht, dass mich das Ganze das Geringste anginge,
nur manchmal hab' ich halt Angst, du springst uns ueber die Klinge.
Und hey, ich bin keiner, der in so 'nem Falle zu scherzen wagt.
Nervoes und schmerzgeplagt solltest du dich lieber fragen "Wofuer?".
Selbst deine Aerztin sagt, du riskierst, 'n Herzinfarkt, graue Haare und 'n Magengeschwuer.
Im Grunde ganz schoen ungesund fuer so 'n jungen Spund.
Verwunderung macht die Runde wie die Kunde vom bunten Hund.
Gott sei Dank gibt 's ja noch die Typen, die schlechte Laune im Keim ersticken,wenn sie die Reime kicken.
Wir ham' den Flow von Muddi und die Styles von Daddy.
Kaum betreten wir den Raum, schon schneit es Konfetti.
Und Dank dieser sehr familiaeren Atmosphaere koennen wir uns fallenlassen wie Kollege Tom Petty.

Mon amour, es waer 'ne Luege,
wuerd' ich behaupten, ich waer' nur 'ne Frohnatur.
Doch schlecht gelaunte Miesepeter gibt es wahrlich zur Genuege.
Es zaehlt die Zeit der Sonnenuhr, wenn ich mich vergnuege.
Entschuldige mal, bist du von klein auf stressig und hitzig;
stehst mit dem falschen Bein auf, bist nie lassig und witzig?
Dann wuerde das bestaetigen, was ich schon immer dachte.
Kollege, bleib mal sachte!
Stichwort "Coolsein", du bist so seltsam hoelzern wie 'n Stuhlbein.
Weisst du nicht, wo der Hammer haengt? Dann frag Tim Tailer von Tooltime!
Ich hoffe, du kannst da noch mitkommen, du Choleriker,
das ist 'ne Sitcom aus Amerika.
Jetzt mal ohne Faxen - du schiesst mit Kanonen auf Spatzen, raufst dir die Haare.
Wir bleiben smart und werfen Dartpfeile.
Stimmt schon: Personen mit Glatzen haben die schaerferen Haarteile.
Wir aber haben Nerven wie Drahtseile.
So, das waer dann wohl das Ende unseres kleinen Streifzugs,
hoffentlich begreifst Du 's.
Ich bin bestimmt kein Leichtfuss wie der Herbert,
doch ich habe keine Zeit mich ueber alles aufzuregen, was mich aergert.

Chorus: Don't mess with my toot toot, don't mess with my toot toot, I know you have another other woman, but don't mess with my toot toot.
Well I was born in my birth suit, the doctor slap my behind, Said you're gonna to be special, you sweet little toot toot. Well you can look as much, but if you much as touch, You're gonna have yourself a case - I'm gonna break your face!
Chorus Oh toot, hey!
Whoa, mama was the same way too, all the fellas didn't know what to do, And papa never had a chance, with a sweet little toot toot. Well I was born in my birth suit, the doctor slap my behind, Said you're gonna to be special, you sweet little toot toot.
There's a summer place Where it may rain or storm Yet I'm safe and warm For within that summer place Your arms reach out to me And my heart is free from all care
For it knows There are no gloomy skies When seen through the eyes Of those who are blessed with love
And the sweet secret of A summer place Is that it's anywhere Where two people share All their hopes All their dreams All their love
Speak softly, love and hold me warm against your heart I feel your words, the tender trembling moments start We're in a world, our very own Sharing a love that only few have ever known
Wine-colored days warmed by the sun Deep velvet nights when we are one
Speak softly, love so no one hears us but the sky The vows of love we make will live until we die My life is yours and all because You came into my world with love so softly love
(instrumental interlude)
Wine-colored days warmed by the sun Deep velvet nights when we are one
A few stolen moments is all that we share
You've got your family and they need you there. Though I try to resist being last your list
But no other man's gonna do - So I'm saving all my love for you.
It's not very easy living all alone
My friends try to tell me find a man of my own. Bur each time I try I just break down and cry
'Cause I'd rather be home feelin' blue - So I'm saving all my love for you.
You used to tell me we'd run away together
Love gives you the right to be free. You said: be patient just wait a little longer
But that's just an old fantasy.
I've got to get ready just a few minutes more
Gonna get that old feeling when you walk through that door. 'Cause tonight is the night for a feeling all right
We'll be making love the whole night through - So I'm saving all my love yes I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my love for you.
No other woman is gonna love you more
'Cause tonight is the night that I'm feeling all right
We'll be making love the whole night through - So I'm saving all my love yeah I'm saving all my love

I hear the drums echoing tonight But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation Shes coming in 12:30 flight The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation I stopped an old man along the way Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies He turned to me as if to say, hurry boy, its waiting there for you
Chorus: Its gonna take a lot to drag me away from you Theres nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night As they grow restless longing for some solitary company I know that I must do whats right Sure as kilimanjaro rises like olympus above the serengeti I seek to cure whats deep inside, frightened of this thing that Ive become
Chorus
(instrumental break)
Hurry boy, shes waiting there for you
Hey!
Well my temperature's rising and my feet on the floor
Twenty people rockin' and they wanna go more
Let me in baby, I don't know what you've got
but you'd better take it easy, this place is hot
So glad we made it
So glad we made it
You gotta
Gimme some lovin' (Gimme gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin' (Gimme gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin'
Everyday
Hey hey
Hey!
Well I feel so good, everything is sellin' high
You'd better take it easy cause the place is on fire
It's been a hard day and I don't know what to do
Wait a minute baby it could happened to you
So glad we made it
So glad we made it
You gotta
Gimme some lovin' (Gimme gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin' (Gimme gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin'
Everyday
Hey, hey
Well I feel so good everybody's gettin' high

Been a hard day nothin' went too good
Now I'm gonna relax honey everybody should
So glad we made it (hey, hey)
So glad you made it
You gotta
Gimme some lovin' (gimme gimme some lovin')
It won't be easy, you'll think it 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 the nines At 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 chose freedom Running around, trying everything new But nothing impressed me at all I never expected it to
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 seemed 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
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
Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you,
That is how I know you go on.
Far across the distance and spaces between us
You have come to show you go on.
Near, far, wherever you are,
I believe that the heart does go on.
Once more, you open the door
And you're here in my heart,
And my heart will go on and on.
Love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime,
And never let go till we're gone.
Love was when I loved you, one true time I hold to.
In my life we'll always go on.
Near, far, wherever you are,
I believe that the heart does go on.
Once more, you open the door
And you're here in my heart,
And my heart will go on and on.
You're here, there's nothing to fear,
And I know that my heart will go on.
We'll stay forever this way.
You are safe in my heart,
And my heart will go on and on.
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling, kiss me
Fill my life with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling, kiss me
Fill my life with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, in other words
In other words, in other words
In other words
Alive alive oh
alive alive ohh
Singing cockles and mussels
alive alive ohhh
In Dublin's fair city
where the girls are so pretty
I once met a girl named sweet Molly Malone
and she wheeled her wheel barrow
through the streets broad and narrow
singing cockles and mussels alive alive oh
She was a fish monger
and sure was no wonder
so were her mother and father before
and they wheeled their wheel barrow
through the streets broad and narrow
singing cockles and mussels alive alive oh
She died of a fever
and so one could save her
and that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
now her ghost wheels her barrow through the streets broad
and narrow
singing cockles and mussels alive alive oh
Alive alive oh
alive alive ohh
Singing cockles and mussels
INTRO:
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 all the world, you and me
BRIDGE
I know why the world is smiling
Smiling so tenderly
It hears the same old story
Through all eternity
VERSE
Love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you
The world cannot be wrong
If in this world there is you
CHORUS
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
(instrumental- the full verse)
Sometimes life can make you crazy It can really put your body to the test You try so hard to make sure everything goes right And you find you've only wound up with a mess It's a common situation Even though you feel abandoned and alone Child, you ain't the first to experience the hurt So don't panic when you hit the danger zone
[Chorus:]
What you need's a little change of heart Forget this fear and frustration Love will always play the greater part When your battles wear you down Here's my advice - When you're feeling down and out And you've got troubles on you mind Love will save the day When you're feeling full of doubt And fear has got you in a bind Love will save the day When your worlds falling apart All you have to do is say a prayer And love will save the day There's an answer in your heart So let your light shine on my dear And love will save the day Love will save the day [X4]
Many things in this world bring you down It's a wonder you can make it through the day Well, you can't sleep cause your problems are to deep And there's always something getting in the way And when you turn on the evening news Mass confusion is the only thing you see Well there's no question that we need a new direction Cause we all could use some peace and harmony
[chorus]
What now my love, now that youve left me
How can I live through another day
Watching my dreams turn to ashes
And my hopes turn to bits of clay
Once I could see, once I could feel
Now I am numb, Ive become unreal
I walk the night, without a goal
Stripped of my heart and my soul
What now my love, now that its over
I feel the world falling all around me
Here come the stars, tumbling around me
Theres the sky, where that sea should be
What now my love, now that youre gone
Id be a fool to go on and on
No one would care, no one would cry
If I should live if I should live or die
What now my love, now there is nothing
Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door
I know that I'm a prisoner
To all my father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him
In the living years
Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've got
You say you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
You just can't get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking in defence
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye
So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It's the bitterness that lasts
So don't yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different day
And if you don't give up,
And don't give in
You may just be OK
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye
I wasn't there that morning
When my father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to say.
I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
I just wish I could have told him
In the living years
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
No matter what they tell us
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach us
What we believe is true
No matter what they call us
However they attack
No matter where they take us
We'll find our own way back
I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know I'll love forever
I know, no matter what
If only tears were laughter
If only night was day
If only prayers were answered
Then we would hear God say
Chorus
And I will keep you safe and strong
And shelter from the storm
No matter where it's barren
A dream is being born
No matter who they follow
No matter where they lead
No matter how they judge us
I'll be everyone you need
No matter if the sun don't shine
Or if the skies are blue
No matter what the end is
My life began with you
I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know, I know
I know this love's forever
That's all that matters now
Once I was alone
So lonely and then
You came, out of nowhere
Like the sun up from the hills
Cold, cold was the wind
Warm, warm were your lips
Out there, on that ski trail
Where your kiss filled me with thrills
A weekend in Canada, a change of scene
Was the most I bargained for
And then I discovered you and in your eyes
I found the love that I couldn't ignore
Down, down came the sun
Fast, fast, fast, beat my heart
I knew when the sun set
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye
He'll never love you, the way that I love you 'Cause if he did, no no, he wouldn't make you cry He might be thrillin' baby but a-my love (my love, my love) So dog-gone willin' So kiss him (I wanna see you kiss him. Wanna see you kiss him) Go on and kiss him goodbye, now
Na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye
Listen to me now
He's never near you to comfort and cheer you When all those sad tears are fallin' baby from your eyes He might be thrillin' baby but a-my love (my love, my love) So dog-gone willin' So kiss him (I wanna see you kiss him. I wanna see you kiss him) Go on and kiss him goodbye, na-na na-na-na na na
Na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye

Cape Cod Light to Mississip, to San Francisco Bay, They're talking 'bout this famous place, down Greenwich Village way.
So I got my banjo out, just sittin' catchin' dust, And painted right across the face "Greenwich Village or Bust." My folks were sad to see me go, but I got no meanin' there. So said "Goodbye, Kansas, Mo, and hello, Washington Square!"
Tennessee, I met a guy who played 12-string guitar. He also had a mighty voice, not to mention a car. Each time he hit those bluegrass chords, you sure smelled mountain air. I said, "Don't waste it on the wind. Come on to Washington Square."
She sang for all humanity, this gal with raven hair. I said, "It's for the world to hear. C'mon to Washington Square."
Cannonballed into New York on good old US 1, Till up ahead we saw the arch, a-gleamin' bright in the sun.
Oh happy day (Oh happy day), Oh happy day (Oh happy day) When Jesus washed (when Jesus washed) When Jesus washed (when Jesus washed) Oh when he washed (when Jesus washed)
Oh happy day (Oh happy day), Oh happy day (Oh happy day) When Jesus washed (when Jesus washed) When Jesus washed (when Jesus washed) Oh when he washed (when Jesus washed)

Are you going to Scarborough fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
He once was a true love of mine
Tell him to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seam nor needlework
Then he'll be a true love of mine
Tell him to find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the salt water and the sea strand
Then he'll be a true love of mine
Are you going to Scarborough fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
When hearts are passing in the night, in the lonely
night
then they must hold each other tight, oh, so very tight
and take a chance that in the light, in tomorrow's
light
they'll stay together so much in love.
And in the silence of the night, of the morning mist
when lips are waiting to be kissed, longing to be
kissed
where is the reason to resist and deny a kiss
that holds a promise of happiness?
Tho' yesterday still surrounds you
with a warm and precious memory
maybe for tomorrow
we can build a new dream for you and me.
This glow we feel is something rare, something really
rare
so come and say you want to share, want to really share
the beauty waiting for us there, calling for us there
that only loving can give the heart.
When life is passing in the night, in the rushing night
a man, a woman in the night, in the lonely night
must take a chance that in the light, in tomorrow's
light
they'll be together so much in love,
together so much in love.
So tell me you're not afraid to take a chance, really
take a chance,
let your heart begin to dance, let it sing and dance
to the music of a glance, of a fleeting glance,
to the music of romance, of a new romance.
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
Oh how precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Chorus
Shall I be wafted to the skies
On flowery beds of ease
While others strive to win the prize
And sail on bloody seas
Can she prance up a hill? No! No! No! No! No!
Can she dance a quadrille! No! No! No! No! No!
Does she fit in my coupe? By herself she's a group.
Could she possibly sit up on my knee? No! No! No! No! No!
She-s too fat for me!
I don't want her
You can have her
She's too fat for me.
She's too fat for me. She's too fat for me
I don't want her
You can have her
Please do that for me
She's too fat
She's too fat. She's too fat for me.
I get dizzy
I clet numbo.
When i'm dancing with my Jum-Jum-Jumbo.
She's a twosome
She's a foursome
Goodbye englands rose May you ever grow in our hearts You were the grace that placed itself Where lives were torn apart You called out to our country And you whispered to those in pain Now you belong to heaven And the stars spell out your name
And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never fading with the sunset When the rain set in And your footsteps will always fall here Along englands greenest hills Your candles burned out long before Your legend ever will
Loveliness weve lost These empty days without your smile This torch well always carry For our nations golden child And even though we try The truth brings us to tears All our words cannot express The joy you brought us through the years
And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never fading with the sunset When the rain set in And your footsteps will always fall here Along englands greenest hills Your candles burned our long before Your legend ever will
Goodbye englands rose May you ever grow in our hearts You were the grace that placed itself Where lives were torn apart Goodbye englands rose From a country lost without your soul Wholl miss the wings of your compassion More than youll ever know
Baby, don't understand
Why we can't just live long to each other's hands
This time might be the last, I fear
Unless I make it all too clear
I need you so, ohhhh...
Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again, learn to live free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in
Take these broken wings...
Baby, I think tonight
We can take what is wrong and make it right
Baby, it's all I know
That you're half of the flesh and blood that makes me
whole
I need you so, ohhhh...
So take these broken wings
And learn to fly again, learn to live free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in
Yeah, let us in
Let us in!
Baby, it's all I know
That you're half of the flesh and blood that makes me
whole
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Yeah, yeah!
So take these broken wings
And learn to fly again, learn to live so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in
Take these broken wings
You've got to learn to fly, learn to live and love so
free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up for us and let us in
Yeah, yeah!
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 should 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 brings 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's Love, there is Love.
Oh the marriage of your spirits here has caused Him to
remain
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in His name
When Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure it's like a morning spring.
In the lilt of Irish laughter,
You can hear the angels sing.
When Irish hearts are happy,
All the world seems bright and gay.
And when Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure, they steal your heart away.
There's a tear in your eye,
and I'm wondering why,
For it never should be there at all.
With such power in your smile,
sure a stone you'd beguile,
So there's never a teardrop should fall.
When your sweet lilting laughter's like some fairy song,
And your eyes twinkle bright as can be,
You should laugh all the while and all other times smile,
And now smile a smile for me.
When Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure it's like a morning spring.
In the lilt of Irish laughter,
You can hear the angels sing.
When Irish hearts are happy,
All the world seems bright and gay.
And when Irish eyes are smiling,
may be your forgotten son who wandered off at twenty one it's sad to find myself at home
oh ma.
If I could only hold your hand and say I'm sorry yes I am I'm sure you really understand oh Ma where are you now.
Oh Mamy oh Mamy - Mamy - blue oh Mamy - Blue
The house we shared upon the hill seems lifeless but it's standing still and memories of childhood days fill my mind oh Mamy Mamy Mamy.
I've seen enough of different lights seen tired days and lonely nights and now without you by my side I'm lost how can I survive.
Oh Mamy...
Nobody who takes care of me who loves me who has time for me the walls look silent at my face oh Ma so dead is our place.
Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you,
That is how I know you go on.
Far across the distance and spaces between us
You have come to show you go on.
Near, far, wherever you are,
I believe that the heart does go on.
Once more, you open the door
And you're here in my heart,
And my heart will go on and on.
Love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime,
And never let go till we're gone.
Love was when I loved you, one true time I hold to.
In my life we'll always go on.
Near, far, wherever you are,
I believe that the heart does go on.
Once more, you open the door
And you're here in my heart,
And my heart will go on and on.
You're here, there's nothing to fear,
And I know that my heart will go on.
We'll stay forever this way.
You are safe in my heart,
Set me free, why don't you babe? get out my life, why don't you babe? 'cause you don't really love me you just keep me hanging on Set me free, why don't you babe? get out my life, why don't you babe?

Left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keeps on Turin'
Proud Mary keeps on burning
Rollin', rolling, rolling on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of tain down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
Big wheel keeps on turning
Proud Mary keeps on burning
Rollin', rolling, rolling on the river (2x)
If you come down to the river
Bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry 'cause you have [if you got] no
money
People on the river are happy to give
Big wheel keeps on Turin'
Proud Mary keeps on burning
Rollin', rolling, rolling on the river (2x)
Sie sieht neben mir aus oh oh oh oh oh
Wie ein wandelndes Haus oh oh oh oh oh
Steh' ich einmal hinter ihr
Sieht man nichts mehr von mir
Und für mein Gefühl ist mir das viel zu viel oh oh oh
Kaum hat er sie geseh'n oh oh oh oh oh
War es um ihn gescheh'n oh oh oh oh oh
Ihre mächtige Forma fand er einfach enorm
Und er bat galant mich um ihre Hand oh oh
Drum nimm sie dir ich mag sie nicht
Denn sie ist mir zu fett
Sie ist mir zu fett
Sie ist mir zu fett
Drumm nimm sie dir
Ich mag sie nicht
Denn sie ist mir zu fett
Viel zu fett viel zu fett sie ist mir zu fett
Deine Liebe und dein Sehnen
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word, But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free. Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.
Come not in terrors, as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings; Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea. Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me.
Thou on my head in early youth didst smile, And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee. On to the close, O Lord, abide with me.
I need Thy presence every passing hour. What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.
I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.
Speak softly, love and hold me warm against your heart
I feel your words, the tender trembling moments start
Were in a world, our very own
Sharing a love that only few have ever known
Wine-colored days warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights when we are one
Speak softly, love so no one hears us but the sky
The vows of love we make will live until we die
My life is yours and all becau-au-se
You came into my world with love so softly love
(instrumental interlude>
Wine-colored days warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights when we are one
Speak softly, love so no one hears us but the sky
The vows of love we make will live until we die
My life is yours and all becau-au-se
I fail to be (what you need from me)
I fail to see (what I fail to be)
I don't need your help
or need your sympathy
...I think it's time you found somebody else
When everybody's gone
You'd best be moving on
...I think it's time you found somebody else
I'll fail to be (what you need from me)
I'll never see (what you need to see)
It never shall refrain
It always comes again
It's nice to know you're easily entertained
I'm glad to treat you right
comfort in the night
It's good to see you're easily entertained
Why does this always happen?
I never meant to be a social call
Whatever happened to everybody else?
Sometimes I feel like the last one...
You don't like what I do? Then keep me away
This little contribution won't make
a difference to me anyway
So don't push me, I've got nothing to lose
Cut it to the bone
I'll spend my time alone
I've found a way and now I'm going home
So don't try to make me be
What you can never be
She calls out to the man on the street
’sir, can you help me?
It’s cold and I’ve nowhere to sleep,
Is there somewhere you can tell me? ’
He walks on, doesn’t look back
He pretends he can’t hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there
Oh think twice, it’s another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh think twice, it’s just another day for you,
You and me in paradise
She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she’s been crying
She’s got blisters on the soles of her feet
Can’t walk but she’s trying
Oh think twice...
Oh lord, is there nothing more anybody can do
Oh lord, there must be something you can say
You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that she’s been there
Probably been moved on from every place
What now my love, now that youve left me
How can I live through another day
Watching my dreams turn to ashes
And my hopes turn to bits of clay
Once I could see, once I could feel
Now I am numb, Ive become unreal
I walk the night, without a goal
Stripped of my heart and my soul
What now my love, now that its over
I feel the world falling all around me
Here come the stars, tumbling around me
Theres the sky, where that sea should be
What now my love, now that youre gone
Id be a fool to go on and on
No one would care, no one would cry
If I should live if I should live or die
What now my love, now there is nothing
Only my last, my last good-bye
Where the gentle Avon flows,
And a trailing rambler grows,
There's a window shining into the night,
And a casement curtain flutters and blows in candle light
And a girl sits listening there
To a haunting old world air
As if someone played so softly below.
All entranced, she hears that sweet serenade of long ago
All the while her wonder grows
As that music comes and goes
Ah. What magic makes this rare delight
Her calling awakes the midsummer night
Who can it be playing out there,
Playing for me such a sweet air!
Clavicord bells tinkling in time,
Why do you chime? Why do you ring ding ding?
Tell me, minstrel; tell me the tale of love you sing!
Phantom answer came there none,
But she waited on and on
Till her window grew bright with dawn's early glow,
And that bygone lover haunting the night was silent
below.
He no longer played that sweet serenade of long ago.
Come and look out through the window
The big old moon is shinin' down
Tell me now don't it remind you
of a blanket on the ground
Remember back when love first found us
We'd go slippin' out of town
And we'd love beneath the moonlight
On a blanket on the ground
Chorus
I'll get the blanket from the bedroom
And we'll go walkin' once again
To the spot down by the river
Where our sweet love first began
Just because we are married
Don't mean we can't slip around
So let's walk out through the moonlight
And lay the blanket on the ground
Oh remember how excited
We used to get when love was young
That old moon was our best buddy
We couldn't wait for night to come
Now you know you still excite me
I know you love me like i am
Just once more i wish you love me
On the blanket on the ground
Chorus
I'll get the blanket from the bedroom
And we'll go walkin' once again
To that spot down by the river
Where our sweet love first began
Just because we our married
Don't mean we can't slip around
So let's walk out through the moonlight
On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is making music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been
Seein' things that I may never see again
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Like a band of gypsies, we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world keep turning our way
And our way...
Is on the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is making music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
[ guitar + harmonica ]
On the road again
Like a band of gypsies, we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world keep turning our way
And our way...
Is on the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is making music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
