Somewhere there has to be the other half of me
The other half of me I am yet to meet
The one special someone whose heart has a similar meaning
And if she were right for me, day and night for me what have meaning
The other half of me
That unknown quality
That unseen destiny could make me complete
Is there a child for the heart of
We'll meet on the street with a love
Will we know one another if I ever meet my other half
The other half of me
Well, you can talk about your Julie and your Peggy Sue
You can keep your miss Molly and your Mary Lou
When it comes to the chicken or doin' the bop?
I got a girl they call the queen of the hop
Oh, well I love my queen
Do you know who I mean?
Sweet little sixteen
Yes, that's my queen
Well, she wears short shorts and a rock 'n roll shoes
You ought to see her dance to the Yellow Dog Blues
She's my sugar time baby, I'm her lollipop
An' everybody knows I love my queen of the hop
Oh, well I love my queen
Do you know who I mean?
Sweet little sixteen
Yes, that's my queen
Oh, well she tunes in to Bandstand every day
To watch the kids dancin' 'cross the USA
She don't care 'bout a thing except in rock 'n roll
My baby drives me crazy when she does the stroll, yeah
Oh, she tunes in to Bandstand every day
To watch the kids dancin' 'cross the USA
She don't care 'bout a thing except in' rock 'n roll
My baby drives me crazy when she does the stroll
Oh, well I love my queen
Do you know who I mean?
Sweet little sixteen
Yes, that's my queen
Well, that's my queen
Yes, that's my queen
Oh, well that's my queen
(You made me love you)
I didn't wanna do it, I didn't wanna do it
You made me want you and all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it
(You made me happy sometimes)
You made me glad
(But there were times, dear)
You made me feel so bad, you made me cry for
I didn't wanna tell you, I didn't wanna tell you
I want some love that's true
Yes, I do, 'deed I do, you know I do
(So give me, give me, give me, give me what I cry for)
You know you got the kind of kisses that I'd die for
You know you made me
('Cause I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't wanna tell you I love somebody, it's true)
Yes, I do, you know, I do, oh, how I do
Give me, give me what I cry for
You know you've got the kind of kisses that I'd die for
You know you made me love you
The lady came from Baltimore
All she wore was lace
She didn't know that I was poor
She never saw my place
I was there to steal her money
Take her rings and run
Then I fell in love with the lady
Got away with none
The lady's name was Susan Moore
Her daddy read the law
She didn't know that I was poor
And lived outside the law
Her daddy said, I was a thief
And didn't marry her for love
But I was Susan's true belief
I married her for love
I was there to steal her money
Take her rings and run
Then I fell in love with the lady
Got away with none
House she lived in had a wall
To keep the robbers out
She'd never stop to think at all
That's what I'm about
I was there to steal her money
Take her rings and run
Then I fell in love with the lady
Got away with none
Then I fell in love with the lady
If I could talk to the animals, just imagine it
Chattin' with a chimp in chimpanzee
Imagine talking to a tiger, chatting with a cheetah
What a neat achievement it would be
If we could talk to the animals, learn all their languages
I could take an animal degree
I'd study elephant and eagle, buffalo and beagle
Alligator, guinea pig, and flea
I would converse in polar bear and python
And I would curse in fluent kangaroo
If people ask me, ?Can you speak rhinoceros??
I'd say, ?Of course, can't you??
If I conferred with our furry friends, man to animal
Think of the amazing repartee
If I could walk with the animals, talk with the animals
Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals
And they could talk to me
If I consulted with quadrupeds
Think what fun we'd have asking over crocodiles for tea
Or maybe lunch with two or three lions, walruses and sea lions
What a lovely place the world would be
If I spoke slang to orangutans
The advantages why any fool on earth could plainly see
Discussing Eastern art and dramas with intellectual llamas
That's a big step forward you'll agree
I'd learn to speak in antelope and turtle
And my Pekingese would be extremely good
If I were asked to sing in hippopotamus
I'd say, ?Why not a [unverified] and I would"
If I could parlay with pachyderms
It's a fairy tale worthy of Hans Anderson and Grimm
A man who walks with the animals and talks with the animals
Grunts and squeaks and squawks with the animals
And they could talk to him
Let me hear 'em talk
I'd study every creature's language
So I could speak to all of them on site
If friends said, ?Can he talk in crab or maybe pelican??
You'd say, ?I canny can't and you'd be right?
And if you just stop and think of it ain't no doubt of it
I'm gonna win a place in history
If I could walk with the animals talk with the animals
Grunt, squeak, squawk with the animals
Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere, waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing
Somewhere beyond the sea
He's
(She's)
There watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to his
(Her)
Arms I'd go sailing
It's far beyond, a star
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be, beyond the sea
Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war
Hey there, Mister Black Man, can you hear me?
I don't want your diamonds or your game
I just want to be someone known to you as me
And I will bet my life you want the same
So come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war
Seven hundred million are you listening?
Most of what you read is made of lies
But speaking one to one, ain't it everybody's sun
To wake to in the morning when we rise?
So come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung, before
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere
We, the people here don't want a war
Brother [Incomprehensible] are you busy?
If not won't you drop this friend a line?
Tell me if the man who is plowing up your land
Has got the war machine upon his mind
Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere
We, the people here don't want a war
Now no doubt some folks enjoy doin' battle
Like presidents, prime ministers and kings
So let us build them shelves
Where they can fight among themselves
And leave the people be who like to sing
Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere
We, the people here don't want a war
I sat, let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere
We, the people here don't want a war
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom

Spirit in the wood beat the hollow cane
Spirit in the wood take away the pain
Make the body ripe and alive again

(I similau, I similau)
Spirit in the heart make the blood flow fast
Spirit in the heart make the beauty last
Keep the hope alive when the youth go past
I similau
(I similau, I similau)
When my lover comes upon the scene
Drop a petal from the tree
Fling the mountain up into the sky
Fill the river with the sea
Spirit in the wood let the hollow cane
Echo in the afterglow
Waiting for the flame to burn again

There are sad things
There are bad things, the blues
When they threaten, start betting you'll lose
You hide yourself behind a prayer
The blues'll come and they'll find you there
I mean the blues, they call Pete Kelly's Blues

Her mouth's a little too wide and her nose a wee bit long.

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old [Incomprehensible], where's MacHeath, babe?
And he keeps it out of sight
You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, though wears old MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red, oh, let it swing, yeah
On a sidewalk, blue Sunday mornin'
Lies a body oozin' life
Some, someone's sneakin' 'round a corner
Tell me, could that someone be Old Mack the Knife?
There's a tugboat down by the river, don't you know?
Where a cement bag, just a'drooppin' on down
Yes, that cement is there strictly for the weight, dear
Five'll got to gift you ten Old Macky's back in town
D'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He got disappeared
After drawin' out all his hard earned cash
And now MacHeath will spend just like a sailor
Could it be our boy done somethin' rash?
Jenny Diver, yeah, yeah, Sukey Tawdry
Hello Miss Lotte Lenya, good evening Lucy Brown
You know that line forms, way on the right, babe
Now, that Macky's back in old biggest town
I said, "Jenny Diver, look out too", Sukey Tawdry
Sit back Miss Lotte Lenya and wait Old Lucy Brown
I mean, I tell you that line forms way on the right, babe
Now, that Macky's back in town
I was riding number nine
Heading South from Caroline
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
I got in trouble, had to roam
I left my gal and my home
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
Just a kid, actin' smart
I went and broke my darling's heart
I guess I was a too young to know
They took me off the Georgia Main
And tied me to a ball and chain
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
All alone I bear this shame
Well, I'm a number, not a name
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
All I do is sit and cry
When that evenin' train goes by
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
I'll be locked here in this cell
'Til my body's just a shell
And my hair turns whiter than snow
I'll never see that gal of mine
'Cause I'm in Georgia, doin' time
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
Up a lazy river by the old mill run
Lazy river in the noonday sun
Linger awhile in the shade of a tree
Throw away your troubles dream with me
Up a lazy river where the Robin's song
Wakes the mornin' we roll along
May be blue skies above, everyone's in love
Up a lazy river, how happy we'll be
Up a lazy river with me
Up a lazy river by the old mill run
That lazy, lazy river in the noonday sun
You can linger for awhile in the shade of a tree
Throw away your troubles, baby dream a dream of me
Up a lazy river where the Robin's song
Wakes a bright new mornin' where we can roll along
There may be blue skies up above
But, as long as we're in love
Yeah, we'll be up a lazy river how happy we could be
Up a lazy river with me
From the halfway mark
Yeah, up a lazy river where that robin's song
Awakes a bright new mornin', we can roll along
A, a, a, there are blue skies up above
And as long as we're in love
We'll be up a lazy rive
Up a crazy, lazy river
Up a lazy river
I ain?t goin? your way
Get outta my way
I've never been in love before
Now all at once it's you
It's you forevermore
I've never been in love before
Kinda thought my heart was safe
I thought I knew the score
But this is wine
That's all too strange and strong
I'm full of foolish songs
And out my song must pour
So please forgive
This helpless haze I'm in
I've really never been
In love before
But this is wine
That's all too strange and strong
I'm full of foolish songs
And out my song must pour
So please forgive
This helpless haze I'm in
I've really never been
I got rhythm, I got music
I got my gal who can ask for anything more
I got daisies in green pastures
I got my gal who can ask for anything more
Old man trouble?
I don't mind him
you won't find him round my door
I got starlight
I got sweet dreams
I got my gal who can ask for anything more
who can ask for more
I got rhythm, I got music
I got my gal who can ask for anything more
I got daisies in green pastures
I got my gal who can ask for anything more
old man trouble I don't mind him
you'll never find him round my door
I got starlight, I got me sweet dreams
I got my gal
Who can ask for more
who could ask for anything
Close your eyes, close the door
You don't have to worry any more
'Cause I'll be your baby tonight
Shut the light, shut the shade
You don't have to be afraid
'Cause I'll be your baby tonight
Give me a little time
Mockingbird is gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
Big old moon is gonna shine like a spoon
We're gonna let it, you won't regret it
Little girl kick your shoes off, have no fear
Bring that bottle over here
And I'll be your baby tonight
Give me a little room
Mockingbird is gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
Big old moon is gonna shine like a spoon
We're gonna let it, you won't regret it
Little girl kick both them your shoes off, have no fear
Bring your own self over here
And I'll be your baby tonight
Give me a little time
And I'll be your baby tonight
Don't you take away all my covers
"I'll Be There"
I’ll be there, when all your dreams are broken;
To answer your unspoken prayer.
When the little things you’re doing
Don’t turn out right,
Don’t you worry, darlin’, I’ll be there.
I’ll miss you, and in my dreams, I’ll kiss you;
And wish you luck on your new affair.
So, baby, if you need me,
All you have to do is call me,
And don’t you worry, darlin’, I’ll be there.
There, whenever you need to know,
That there is someone who cares.
So, if your new love,
Isn’t a true love,
Don’t you worry, darlin’, I’ll be there.
Coda:
Oh, you know I’ll be there
Don’t you worry, darlin’
‘cause you know I’ll be there
Don’t you … don’t you worry, darlin’
(I wonder, I wonder)
I wonder who's kissing her now
You know I wonder who's
Teaching her how
I wonder who's
Looking into her eyes
Breathing sighs
Telling my baby those lies
I wonder who's buying the wine
For lips that I used to call mine
I wonder if she ever tells him of me
I wonder who's kissing her now
I wonder, I wonder
Who's buying the wine
For lips that I once called mine
You know I wonder if
She ever tells him of me
A song of love is a sad song, hi lili, hi lili, hi lo
A song of love is a tale of woe
You ask me how, how I know, yeah
A song of love is a sad song
And that's what everyone knows
I sit by the window and I watch the rain, hi lili, hi lili, hi lo
Tomorrow I'll probably love again, hi lili, hi lili, hi lo
Well, I sit by the window and I watch the rain, hi lili, hi lili, hi lo
Sadness had been
Close as my next of kin
Then happy came one day
Chased my blues away
My life began when happy smiled
Sweet like candy to a child
Stay here and love me just a while
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was
Happy, that's you
You made my life brand new
Lost as a little lamb was I
Till you came in
My life began when happy smiled
Sweet like candy to a child
Stay here and love me just a while
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was
Till now
Where have I been?
What lifetime was I in?
Suspended between time and space
Lonely until
Happy came smiling up at me
'Cause sadness had no choice but to flee
I said a prayer so silently
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was
There's a story the Gypsies know is true
That when your love wears golden earrings
She belongs to you
An old love story that's known to very few
But if you wear these golden earrings
Love will come to you
By the burning fire they will glow with every coal
You will hear desire whisper low in your soul
So be my Gypsy
Make love your guiding light
And let this pair of golden earrings cast their spell tonight
By the burning fire they will glow with every coal
You will hear desire whisper low inside your soul
So be my Gypsy
Make love your guiding light
And let this pair of golden earrings cast their spell tonight
Let this pair golden earrings do their work tonight
(B. Howard)
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me
Fill my heart 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
Fill my heart 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 a cavern
Down by a canyon
Excavatin' for a mine
There lived a miner
From North Carolina
And his daughter
Chubby Clementine.
Now, every mornin'
Yeah just about dawnin'
When the sun
Began to shine
You know she would rouse up
Wake all-a-dem cows up
And walk 'em down to her Daddy's mine.
I took the footbridge
Way 'cross the water
Though she weighed
Two ninety-nine
The old bridge trembled
And disassembled oops!
Dumped her into the foamy brine.
Hey crack like thunder hut, hut
You know she went under hut, hut
Blowin bubbles down the line
Hey! I'm no swimm'a
But were she slimm'a
I might'a saved
That Clementine.
Ho she broke the record
Way under water
I thought that she was doin' fine
I wasn't nervous
Not until the service
That they held
For Clementine.
Hey you sailor hut, hut
Way out in your whaler
A-with your harpoon an your trusty line
If she shows now,yell...
A-there she blows now!
It just may be
Chunky, Clementine.
One more time!
Oh, my darlin' oh, my darlin'
Oh, my darlin' oh, my darlin'
Oh, my darlin' sweet Clementine
You may be gone but
You're not forgotten
Fare thee well
So long
Clementine

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailin
Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms
I'd go sailin'
It's far beyond the stars
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailin'
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet (I know we'll meet) beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailin'
No more sailin'
So long sailin'
Now this town is full of guys
Who think they're mighty wise
Just because they know a thing or two
You can see them everyday
Strolling up and down Broadway
Telling of the wonders they can do
Well, there's conmen and there's boosters
Card sharks and crap shooters
They congregate around the Metropole
They wear fancy ties and collars
But where they get their dollars
While they all got an ace in the hole
Some of them write to the old folks for coin
Well, that's their old ace in the hole
Others have gals on the old Tenderloin
Well, that's their old ace in the hole
They'll tell you all the trips
That they are going to take
From 'Frisco up to that old North Pole
Now their names would be mud
Like a old chump playing stud
If they lost that old ace in the hole
Now some of them write to the old folks for coin
And lets their old ace in the hole

And that's their old ace in the hole
Well, they'll tell you all the trips

If they lost that old ace in the hole
Splish, splash, I was takin' a bath
Long about a Saturday night, yeah
A rub dub, just relaxin' in the tub
Thinkin' everythin' was alright
Well, I stepped out the tub
I put my feet on the floor
I wrapped the towel around me and I
Opened the door
And then a-splish, splash
I jumped back in the bath
Well, how was I to know
There was a party goin' on?
There was a-splishin' and a-splashin'
Reelin' with the feelin'
Movin' and a-groovin'
Rockin' and a-rollin', yeah, yeah
Bing, bang, I saw the whole gang
Dancin' on my living room rug, yeah
Flip, flop, they was doin' the bop
All the teens had the dancin' but
There was lollipop with a Peggy Sue
Good golly, Miss Molly was-a even there, too
A- well-a, splish, splash, I forgot about the bath

And you're nobody until somebody loves you
You're nobody until somebody cares
You may be king and you may possess
The world and it's gold
But gold'll never buy you happiness
When you're growing old
You know the world still is the same
You'll never change it
Just as sure as the stars
Shine above
Yes, and you're nobody until somebody comes along to love you
So find yourself somebody to love
I said the world still is the same
You'll never change it
Just as sure as the stars
Shine above
You are nobody until somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody
I have got me somebody
You must have been a beautiful baby,
you must have been a wonderful child . . .
When you were only startin'
to go to kindergarten
I bet you drove the little boys wild!
An' when it came to winning blue ribbons,
you must have shown the other kids how . . .
I can see the judge's eyes as they handed you the prize
I bet you made the cutest bow!
Oh!, You must have been a beautiful baby,
'cause baby look at you now . . .
Does your dad appreciate
that you are merely great?
Does your mother realize
you're such a treat for the eyes?
You must have been a beautiful baby,
you must have been a wonderful child . . .
When you were only startin'
to go to kindergarten
I bet you drove the little boys wild!
An' when it came to winning blue ribbons,
you must have shown the other kids how . . .
I can see the judge's eyes as they handed you the prize
I bet you made the cutest bow!
Oh!, You must have been a beautiful baby,
'cause baby look at you now . . . ( she's a cutie! )
Every night I sit here by my window, window
Starin' at the lonely avenue, avenue
Watchin' lovers holdin' hands n' laughin', laughin'
And thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
Thinkin' of things, like a walk in the park
Things, like a kiss in the dark
Things, like a sailboat ride
Yeah, yeah
What about the night we cried?
Things like a lover's vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
Memories are all I have to cling to, cling to
And heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to, talkin' to
When I'm not thinkin' of a just how much I love you, love you
Well, I'ma thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
Thinkin' of things, like a walk in the park
Things, like a kiss in the dark
Things, like a sailboat ride
Yeah, yeah
What about the night we cried?
Things like a lover's vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
I still can hear the jukebox softly playin', playin'
And the face I see each day belongs to you, belongs to you
Though there's not a single sound and there's nobody else around
Well, it's a just me thinkin' of the things we used to do
Thinkin' of things, like a walk in the park
Things, like a kiss in the dark
Things, like a sailboat ride
Yeah, yeah
What about the night we cried?
Things like a lover's vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
And the heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to
You got me thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by
Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by
Brother you don't know a nicer occupation
Matter of fact, neither do I
Than standing on a corner, watching all the girls
Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by
I'm the cat that's got the cream
I haven't got a girl but I can dream
Haven't got a girl but I can wish
So I take me down to main street
And that's where I select my imaginary dish
You find me standing on a corner watching all the girls go by
Hanging around the corner giving all the girls the eye
Brother if you've got a rich imagination
Give it a whirl, give it a try
Try standing on a corner, watching all the girls
Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by
It's Saturday and I'm so broke, I couldn't buy a girl a five cent pork
Still I'm living like a millionaire when I take me down the main street
And I review the harem parading for me there
Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by
Hanging around the corner underneath the spring time sky
Brother you'll never go to jail for what you're thinking
Or for that look in your eye
Try standing on the corner watching all the girls
When you see a gentleman bee
Around a lady bee buzzing,
Just count to ten, then count again:
There's sure to be an even dozen.
Multiplication, that's the name of the game.
And each generation, they play the same.
Now, there was two butterflies, castin' their eyes
Both in the same direction.
You'd never guess that one little "yes"
Could start a butterfly collection.
Ah, multiplication, that's the name of the game.
And each generation, uh, they play the same.
Well, let me tell you now,
I say one and one is five,
You can call me a silly goat.
But you take two minks, add two minks,
Aaahh, you got uh, one mink coat.
When a girl gets coy in front of a boy
After three or four dances,
Ah, you can just bet she'll play hard-to-get
To multiply her chances.
Multiplication, that's the name of the game.
And each generation, you know they play the same.
Hear me talkin' to ya!
Mother Nature's a clever girl,
She relies on habits.
You take two hares with no cares,
Mmm, pretty soon you got a room full of rabbits.
Parakeets, in between tweets,
Sometimes get too quiet.
Uh-oh! But have no fear, 'cause soon you'll hear
A parakeets' riot. Just try it!
Multiplication, that's the name of the game.
And every generation, you know, they play the same.
Yeah, it's multiplication, that's the name of the game.
And each generation, they play the same.
Now here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher
She was a lowdown hoochie coocher
She was the roughest and the toughest frail
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale
Hidee, hidee, hidee hey
Hedee, hedee he
Hodee, hodee ho
She had a dream about the king of Sweden
He gave her everything that she was needin'
He gave her a home built of golden steel
A platinum car with diamond wheels
Hidee, hidee, hidee hey
Hedee, hedee he
Hodee, hodee ho
Now Minnie and Smokey, they started shaggin'
They got a free ride in a wagon
She gave him money to pay her bail
But don't you know he went and left her in the jail
Hidee, hidee, hidee hey
Hedee, hedee he
Hodee, hodee ho
Oh, Minnie met old Deacon Lowdown
He preached to her that she oughta slowdown
But Minnie just stood and rock and rolled
And Deacon Lowdown, please save my soul
Hidee, hidee, hidee hey
Hedee, hedee he
Hodee, hodee ho
They took her where they put the bad ladies
And now Minnie is pushin' up daises
You heard my story, now this ends my song
She's a good gail but they done her wrong
Hidee, hidee, hidee hey
Hedee, hedee he
I never cared much for moonlit skies
Never winked back at fireflies
But now that the stars are in your eyes
I'm beginning to see the light
I never went in for afterglow
Or candlelight on the mistletoe
But now when you turn the lamp down low
I'm beginning to see the light
I used to ramble through the park
Shadow boxing in the dark
Then you came and caused the spark
That's a four-alarm fire now
I never made love by lantern shine
I never saw rainbows in my wine
But now that your lips are burning mine
I'm beginning to see the light
I never cared much for moonlit skies
I never winked back at fireflies
But now that the stars are in your eyes
I'm beginning to see the light
And I never went in for afterglow
Or candlelight on the mistletoe
But now when you turn the lamp down low
I'm beginning to see the light
You know, I used to ramble through the park
Shadow boxing in the dark
Then you came and lit that spark
That's a four-alarm fire now
I never made love by lantern shine
I never saw rainbows in my wine
But now that your lips are burning mine
See the tree how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it, it was just a twig
Then the first snow came
And she ran out to brush the snow away so it wouldn't die
Came running in all excited slipped and almost hurt herself
And I laughed 'til I cried
She was always young at heart
Kind of dumb and kind of smart
And I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her when I came in from working late
Cos' I would know
That she'd been sitting there a crying
Over some sad and silly late late show
And Honey I miss you
And I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could
She wrecked the car and she was sad
And so afraid that I'd be mad
But what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be
Yes you could say she saw through me
And hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly
And caught her crying needlessly
In the middle of the day
And It was in the early spring
When flowers bloom and robins sing
She went away
And Honey I miss you
And I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could
One day when I was not at home
While she was there and all alone
Angels came
Now all I have are memories of Honey
And I wake at nights and call her name
Now my life's an empty stage
Where Honey lived and Honey played
And love grew up
And a small cloud passes over head
And cries down on the flowerbed
That Honey loved
And see the tree how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad

Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
She is my baby and she lived next door
Every mornin' 'fore the sun come up
She bring me coffee in my favorite cup
That's why I know, yes, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so
When I'm in trouble and I need me a friend
I know she stick with me until the end
Everybody asked me how I know
I smile and tell them say, "She told me so"
That's why I know, yes, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so
Now, if I call her on the telephone
And tell her, baby, I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four

In the evenin' when the sun go down
And there ain't nobody else around
She kisses me and she hold me tight
Tell me, "Daddy, everything's alright"
That's why I know, yes, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so
Now, if I call her on the telephone

Tell me, "Daddy, it's just right"
And I know, yes, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so

Hallelujah, I just love her so
She's my woman, I wanna tell you
Hallelujah, I just love her so, yeah, I know
Dream dream lover
Dream dream lover
Every night I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms
And know the magic of her charms
Because I want a girl to call my own
Chorus
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Dream lover where are you
With a love oh so true
And a hand that I can hold
To feel you near when I grow old
Because I want a girl to call my own
Chorus
Someday I don't know how
I hope you'll hear my plea
Someway I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me
Dream lover until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
Until my lover's dream come true
Because I want a girl to call my own
Chorus
Oh?I got to hold on (someway)
But I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me
Her love to me
Dream lover until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
Until my lover's dream come true
Because I want a girl to call my own
Chorus 3 X
Dream dream lover
Dream dream lover
