Beyond the reef
Where the sea is dark and cold,
My love has gone,
And our dreams grow old.
There'll be no tears;
There'll be no regretting.
Will he remember me;
Will he forget?
I'll send a thousand flowers
When the trade winds blow.
I'll send my lonely heart,
For I love him so.
Someday I know
He'll come back again to me.
Till then my heart will be
Beyond the reef.
Are you sincere when you say, "I love you"?
Are you sincere when you say, "I'll be true"?
Do you mean every word that my ears have heard?
I'd like to know which way to go, will our love grow?
Are you sincere?
(Are you sincere?)
Are you sincere when you say you miss me?
(You miss me)
Are you sincere every time you kiss me?
(You kiss me)
And are you really mine every day, all the time?
I'd like to know which way to go, will our love grow?
Are you sincere?
(Are you sincere?)
Are you really mine every day, all the time?
I'd like to know
(I'd like to know)
Which way to go
(Which way to go)
Will our love grow?
(Will our love grow?)
Islands of Hawaii
Where skies of blue are calling me
Where balmy air and golden moonlight
Carress the waving palms of Wai KiKi
Valleys with their rainbows
Your mountains green, and deep blue sea
Your fragrant flowers and dreamy music
Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love
Oh morning stars together, proclaim thy holy birth.
And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth.
Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting light
Oh, you can kiss me on a Monday
A Monday, a Monday is very, very good
Or you can kiss me on a Tuesday
A Tuesday, a Tuesday, in fact I wish you would
Or you can kiss me on a Wednesday
A Thursday, a Friday and Saturday is best
But never, never on a Sunday
A Sunday, a Sunday, 'cause that's my day of rest
Most any day you can be my guest
Any day you say, but my day of rest
Just name the day that you like the best
Only stay away on my day of rest
Oh, you can kiss me on a cool day, a hot day
A wet day, which everyone you choose
Or try to kiss me on a gray day, a May day
A pay day, and see if I refuse
And if you make it on a bleak day
A freak day, a week day, why you can be my guest
Be my love, for no one else can end this yearning
This need that you and you alone create
Just fill my arms the way you've filled my dreams
The dreams that you inspire with ev'ry sweet desire
Be my love, and with your kisses set me burning
One kiss is all I need to seal my fate
And hand in hand, we'll find love's promised land
There'll be no one but you, for me eternally
If you will be my love
Be my love, for no one else can end this yearning
This need that you and you alone create
Just fill my arms the way you've filled my dreams
The dreams that you inspire with ev'ry sweet desire
Be my love, and with your kisses set me burning
One kiss is all I need to seal my fate
And hand in hand, we'll find love's promised land
Many a tear has to fall but it's all in the game
All in the wonderful game that we know as love
You have words with him and your future's looking blue
But these things your hearts can rise above
Once in a while he won't call but it's all in the game
Soon he'll be there at your side with a sweet bouquet
And he'll kiss your lips and caress your waiting fingertips
And your heart will fly away
(soon he'll be there at your side) with a sweet bouquet
Then he'll kiss your lips and caress your waiting fingertips
It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before and loved before
Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time
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"
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love
Evening shadows make me blue
When each weary day is through
How I long to be with you
My happiness
Every day I reminisce
Dreaming of your tender kiss
Always thinking how I miss
My happiness
A million years it seems
Have gone by since we shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again
There'll be no blue memories then
Whether skies are gray or blue
Any place on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you
On a day like today
We pass the time away
Writing love letters in the sand
How you laughed when I cried
Each time I saw the tide
Take our love letters from the sand
You made a vow that you would ever be true
But somehow that vow meant nothing to you
Now my broken heart aches
With every wave that breaks
Over love letters in the sand
Now my broken heart aches
With every wave that breaks
Night and you and blue hawaii
The night is heavenly and you are heaven to me
Lovely you and blue hawaii
With all this loveliness there should be love
Come with me while the moon is on the sea
The night is young and so are we, so are we
Dreams come true in blue hawaii
And mine could all come true this magic night of nights with you
Come with me while the moon is on the sea (the moon is on the sea)
The night is young and so are we (so are we)
Dreams come true in blue hawaii
There's just one place for me near you
It's like heaven to be near you
Times when we're apart I can't face my heart
Say you'll never stray more than just two lips away
If my hours could be spent near you
I'd be more than content near you
Make my life worthwhile by telling me that
I'll spend the rest of my days near you
There is just one place for me
I'm happy when I'm near you
It's wonderful as heaven, a special kind of heaven
But only when I'm near you
Times when we're apart I wonder how I can face my heart
Say you'll never stray more than just two lips away
If my waking hours could be spent while near you
I would be content, wonderfully content, just to be near you
Make my life worthwhile by telling me that
I'll spend the rest of my days all of those happy, happy days
I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill where I found you
The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill
And lingered till my dreams came true
The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made
Were never to be
Though we're apart you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill
The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made
Were never to be
Though we're apart you're part of me still
This is the moment I've waited for
I can hear my heart singing
Soon bells will be ringing
This is the moment of sweet aloha
I will love you longer than forever
Promise me that you will leave me never
Here and now, dear
All my love I vow, dear
Promise me that you will leave me never
I will love you longer than forever
Now that we are one
Clouds won't hide the sun
Blue skies of Hawaii smile
On this, our wedding day
(I do) I do
(Love you) Love you
With all my heart
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plain
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Glo-glo-glo-glo-ria
In excelsis Deo
Glo-glo-glo-glo-ria
In excelsis Deo
Shepards, why this jubilee
Why your joyous song prolong
What the gladsome tidings be
hich inspire your heavenly
Heavenly song
Glo-glo-glo-glo-ria
In excelsis Deo
Glo-glo-glo-glo-ria
Just an old fashioned love song
Playing on the radio
And wrapped around the music
Is the sound of someone promising they'll never go
You swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on
No need in bringin' 'em back
'Cause they're never really gone
Just an old fashioned love song
Comin' down in three-part harmony
Just an old fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
To weave our dreams upon and listen
To each evenin' when the lights are low
To underscore our love affair
With tenderness and feeling that we've come to know
You swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on
No need in bringin' 'em back
'Cause they're never really gone
Just an old fashioned love song
Comin' down in three-part harmony
Just an old fashioned love song
Haaheo e ka ua i na pali
Ke nihi ae la i kanahele
E uhai ana paha i ka liko
Pua a hihi lehua o u
Aloha oe, aloha oe,
E ke onaona noho i ka lipo
One fond embrace, before I now depart
Until we meet again,
If it takes forever I will wait for you
For a thousand summers I will wait for you
Till you're back beside me, till I'm holding you
Till I hear you sigh here in my arms
Anywhere you wander, anywhere you go
Every day remember how I love you so
In your heart believe what in my heart I know
That forevermore I'll wait for you
The clock will tick away the hours one by one
Then the time will come when all the waiting's done
The time when you return and find me here and run
Straight to my waiting arms
If it takes forever I will wait for you
For a thousand summers I will wait for you
Till you're here beside me, till I'm touching you
To dream the impossible dream,
To fight the unbeatable foe,
To bear with unbearable sorrow,
To run where the brave dare not go.
To right the unrightable wrong,
To love pure and chaste from afar,
To try when your arms are too weary,
To reach the unreachable star.
This is my quest,
To follow that star --
No matter how hopeless,
No matter how far.
To fight for the right
Without question or pause,
To be willing to march
Into hell for a heavenly cause.
And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will be peaceful and calm
when I'm laid to my rest.
And the world will be better for this,
that one man scorned and covered with scars
still strove with his last ounce of courage.
To reach the unreachable star.
Sail along, silvery moon,
Trail along lover's lane,
Sail along, silvery moon,
To my love again.
In the glow of your light,
Let me see her tonight,
Once again, hold her tight,
Back in lover's lane.
And then the whole world wll seem brighter,
As we stroll hand in hand,
Two blue hearts will be lighhter,
You understand,
Sail along silvery moon,
Trail along lover's lane,
Sail along, silvery moon,
To my love again.
When we played our charade
We were like children posing
Playing at games, acting out names
Guessing the parts we played
Oh what a hit we made
We came on next to closing
Best on the bill, lovers until
Love left the masquerade
Fate seemed to pull the strings
I turned and you were gone
While from the darkened wings
The music box played on
Sad little serenade
Song of my heart's composing
I hear it still, I always will
Words and Music by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe
All I want is a room somewhere
Far away from the cold night air
With one enormous chair
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly ?
Lots of chocolate for me to eat
Lots of coal makin' lots of 'eat
Warm face, warm 'ands, warm feet
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly ?
Oh so loverly sittin' abso-bloomin'-lutely still
I would never budge till Spring crept over mi window sill
Someone's 'ead restin' on my knee
Warm and tender as 'e can be
Who takes good care of me
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly ?
Who takes good care of me
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly ? (loverly)
Loverly (lovely)
When I look in your eyes
I see the wisdom of the world in your eyes
I see the sadness of a thousand goodbyes
When I look in your eyes
And it is no surprise
To see the softness of the moon in your eyes
The gentle sparkle of the stars in your eyes
When I look in your eyes
In your eyes
I see the deepness of the sea
I see the deepness of the love
The love I feel you feel for me
Autumn comes, summer dies
I see the passing of the years in your eyes
And when we part there will be no tears, no goodbyes
I'll just look into your eyes
Those eyes, so wise
So warm, so real
Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me
(moon river, wider than a mile)
(I'm crossin' you in style some day)
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after that same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me
(moon river, moon river)
There will be many other nights like this
And I'll be standing here with someone new
There will be other songs to sing, another Fall, another Spring
But there will never be another you
There will be other lips that I may kiss
But they won't thrill me like yours used to do
Yes, I may dream a million dreams but how can they come true
If there will never ever be another you
There will be other lips that I may kiss
But they won't thrill me like yours used to do
Yes, I may dream a million dreams but how can they come true
If there will never ever be another you
Heavenly shades of night are falling, it's twilight time
Out of the mist your voice is calling, "It's twilight time"
When purple-colored curtains mark the end of day
I'll hear you, my dear, at twilight time
Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done
Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun
I count the moments darling till you're here with me
Together at last at twilight time
Here in the afterglow of day
We keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and same old way
I fall in love again as I did then
Deep in the dark, your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together at last at twilight time
Here in the afterglow of day
We keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and same old way
I fall in love again as I did then
Deep in the dark, your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
If I could hold you in the arms of love tonight
I'd never let you go
As the hours go by I'd show you why we've waited for this
As two lovers whisper low
If I could feel that magic kiss your lips invite
Imagine the joys I'd know
The day has died away, let's find a hideaway
And share the promise of a new tomorrow
In the arms of love tonight
The day has died away, let's find a hideaway
And share the promise of a new tomorrow
In the arms of love tonight
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
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
From that day, we'd never ever part
Love is lovelier the second time around
Just as wonderful with both feet on the ground
It's that second time you hear your love song sung
Makes you think, perhaps, that love like you
Is wasted on the young
Love's more comfortable the second time you fall
Like a friendly home the second time you call
Who can say what led us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once and yet
I'm oh so glad we met the second time around
Who can say what led us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once and yet
Every day I sent another present
Just to let her know how very much I care
I wrote a little love note with each present
But it didn't seem to get me anywhere
My poor worried heart was almost certain
That this love affair would never be
Then I sent a dozen yellow roses and
From that moment she belonged to me
Roses, roses, roses, I thank all the roses that bloom in the spring
Love is a wonderful thing, the rest of my life I will bring her
Roses and roses and roses of love
Roses, roses, roses, I thank you for saying what I couldn't say
Oh, what a wonderful way to tell her "I love you" each day
With roses and roses and roses of love
Roses, roses, roses, I thank all the roses that bloom in the spring
Love is a wonderful thing, the rest of my life I will bring her
Roses and roses and roses of love
(Roses and roses and roses and roses of love)
FADE
Summer Love
Who will be your summer love
Like I was last summer
Sharing every moment of
Things we did last summer
Who will be satisfied
Just to be by your side
Who will kiss you, hold you tight
Two silver silhouettes
In the summer moonlight
Will you walk along the beach
Like we did last summer
Counting stars way out of reach
Like we did last summer
Will you tell your heart, beware
This is just a summer affair
Or will you fall in love for keeps
The summer smiles, the summer knows
And unashamed, she sheds her clothes
The summer smoothes the restless sky
And lovingly she warms the sand on which you lie
The summer knows, the summer's wise
She sees the doubts within your eyes
And so she takes her summer time
Tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger
Twists the world 'round her summer finger
Lets you see the wonder of her arms
And if you've learned your lessons well
There's little more for her to tell
One last caress, it's time to dress for fall
And if you've learned your lesson well
There's little more for her to tell
Here I stand
Watching the tide go out
So all alone and blue
Just dreaming dreams of you
I watched your ship
As it sailed out to sea
Taking all my dreams
And taking all of me
The sighing of the waves
The wailing of the wind
The tears in my eyes burn
Pleading, "My love, return"
Why, oh, why must I go on like this?
Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore?
Why, oh, why must I go on like this?
There will be another song for me
For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
Someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking at the sky
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
You'll still be the one.
I will take my life into my hands
And I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes
And I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passions flow like rivers through the sky.
But after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you
And wonderin' why.
Macarthur park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
And I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
May each day in the week be a good day
May the Lord always watch over you
And may all of your hopes turn to wishes
And may all of your wishes come true
May each day in the month be a good day
May you make friends with each one you meet
And may all of your daydreams be mem'ries
And may all of your mem'ries be sweet
The weeks turn to months and the months into years
There'll be sadness and joy, there'll be laughter and tears
But one thing I pray to heaven above
May each of your days be a day full of love
May each day in the year be a good day
May each dawn find you happy and gay
And may all of your days be as lovely
As the one you shared with me today
May each day of your life be a good day
And good night.
More than the greatest love the world has known
This is the love I give to you alone
More than the simplest words I try to say
I only live to love you more each day
More than you'll never know my arms long to hold your soul
My life will be in your keeping, waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping
Longer than always is longlong time,
But far beyond forever you'll be mine
I know I never live before and my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more
I know I never live before and my heart is very sure
May each day in the week be a good day
May the Lord always watch over you
And may all of your hopes turn to wishes
And may all of your wishes come true
May each day in the month be a good day
May you make friends with each one you meet
And may all of your daydreams be mem'ries
And may all of your mem'ries be sweet
The weeks turn to months and the months into years
There'll be sadness and joy, there'll be laughter and tears
But one thing I pray to heaven above
May each of your days be a day full of love
May each day in the year be a good day
May each dawn find you happy and gay
And may all of your days be as lovely
As the one you shared with me today
May each day of your life be a good day
Where do I begin
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start
With her first hello
She gave new meaning to this empty world of mine
There?d never be another love, another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart
She fills my heart with very special things
With angels? songs , with wild imaginings
She fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go I?m never lonely
With her around, who could be lonely
I reach for her hand-it?s always there
How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I?ll need her till the stars all burn away
And she?ll be there
How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I?ll need her till the stars all burn away
And she?ll be there
If I could hold you in the arms of love tonight
I'd never let you go
As the hours go by I'd show you why we've waited for this
As two lovers whisper low
If I could feel that magic kiss your lips invite
Imagine the joys I'd know
The day has died away, let's find a hideaway
And share the promise of a new tomorrow
In the arms of love tonight
The day has died away, let's find a hideaway
And share the promise of a new tomorrow
In the arms of love tonight
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
I've grown accustomed to her face
She almost makes the day begin
I've grown accustomed to the tune she whistles night and noon
Her smiles, her frowns, her ups, her downs
Are second nature to me now
Like breathing out and breathing in
I was serenely independent and content before we met
Surely I could always be that way again and yet
I've grown accustomed to her looks, accustomed to her voice
Accustomed to her face
I'm very grateful she's a woman and so easy to forget
Rather like a habit one can always break and yet
I've grown accustomed to the trace of something in the air
It's a most unusual day
Feel like throwing my worries away
As an old native born Californian would say
It's a most unusual day
There's a most unusual sky
Not a sign of a cloud passing by
And if I want to sing, throw my heart in the ring
It's a most unusual day
There are people meeting people
There is sunshine everywhere
There are people greeting people
And a feeling of spring in the air
It's a most unusual time
I keep feeling my temperature climb
If my heart won't behave in the usual way
Well, there's only one thing to say
It's a most unusual day
There are people meeting people
There is sunshine everywhere
There are people greeting people
If ever I would leave you, it wouldn't be in summer
Seeing you in summer, I never would go
Your hair streaked with sunlight, your lips red as flame
Your face with a luster that puts gold to shame
But if I'd ever leave you, it couldn't be in autumn
How I'd leave in autumn, I never will know
I've seen how you sparkle when fall nips the air
I know you in autumn and I must be there
And could I leave you running merrily through the snow
Or on a wintry evening when you catch the fire's glow?
If ever I would leave you, how could it be in springtime?
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so
Oh, no, not in springtime, summer, winter, or fall
Speak softly love and hold me warm against your heart
I feel your words the tender trembling moment 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 we'll live until we die
My life is yours, and all because
You came into my world with love so softly love
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 we'll live until we die
My life is yours, and all because
You came into my world with love
Falling in love with love is falling for make-believe
Falling in love with love is playing the fool
Caring too much is such a juvenile fancy
Learning to trust is just for children in school
I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see
I fell in love with love, with love everlasting
But love fell out with me
Oh, I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see
I fell in love with love, with love everlasting
I'm getting married in the morning
Ding dong the bells are gonna chime
Pull out the stopper, let's have a whopper
But get me to the church on time
I gotta be there in the morning
Spruced up and looking in my prime
Girls, come and kiss me, show how you'll miss me
But get me to the church on time
If I am dancing, roll up the floor
If I am whistling, whisk me out the door, for
I'm getting married in the morning
Ding dong the bells are gonna chime
Kick up a rumpus but don't lose your compass
And get me to the church, get me to the church
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hand I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hand I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
You're just too good to be true
Can' t take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
And if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
I love you baby, and if it's quite alright
I need you baby to warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby, now that I've found you stay
And let me love you baby
Let me love you
You're just too good to be true
Can' t take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
I love you baby, and if it's quite alright
I need you baby to warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby, now that I've found you stay
And let me love you baby
Let me love you
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored
He has loosed the fateful lightening of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
His truth is marching on
He has sounded for the trumpet that shall never call retreat
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat
Oh, be swift, my soul to answer Him, be jubilant, my feet
Our God is marching on
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
His truth is marching on
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me
As He died to make men holy let us die to make men free
While God is marching on
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
His truth is marching on
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
His truth is marching on
Almost there
We're almost there
How wonderful, wonderful our love will be
For you, for me
We're almost there
Where we will share
A warm caress, tenderness, a dream come true
For me, for you
Love has waited such a long time
Now we're a kiss apart
Darling this is the right time
To let the kisses start
For you're almost mine
And soon we'll find
Our paradise, paradise so rare
Close your eyes
For we're almost there
You're almost mine
And soon we'll find
Our paradise, paradise so rare
Close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes
For we're almost there
Almost there
I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singin' this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but baby can't you see (baby can't you see now)
There's no one more important to me (baby)
Baby can't you please see through me
'cause we're alone now and I'm singin' this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth, withholdin' nothin'
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody (listen to the melody) cause my love's in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine (you are a friend of mine)
And when my life is over, remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singin' this song for you
We were alone and I was singin' this song for you
We were alone and I was singin' this song, singin' this song for you
A fool never learns
To get away, just run away before his heart begins to break
A fool never learns
He'll wait around
Just hang around to see how much his heart can take
A fool never learns
To some girls love is just a game
And some girls treat all fool the same
A fool never learns
And I'm gonna do a very foolish thing
I'm gonna stick by you
I'm a'gonna hang around, wait around
Hope she'll love me again some day
They say a broken heart don't mark the end of time
That there are lots-a girls who'd love to be just mine
But I don't believe that I could fall in love again
'Cause I just can't remove the pain
A fool never learns
And I'm gonna do a very foolish thing
I'm gonna stick by you
I'm a'gonna hang around, wait around
Hope she'll love me again some day
They say a broken heart don't mark the end of time
That there are lots-a girls who'd love to be just mine
But I don't believe that I could fall in love again
'Cause I just can't remove the pain
A fool never learns
And I'm gonna do a very foolish thing
And I'm gonna do a very foolish thing
Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're going, I'm going your way
Two drifters, off to see the world, there's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waiting round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river and me
Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're going, I'm going your way
Two drifters, off to see the world, there's such a lot of world to see
We're after that same rainbow's end, waiting round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river and me
I know I stand in line, until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there's a chance
You wont be leaving with me
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like I love you
I can see it in your eyes, that you despise the same old lies
You heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true
It never seemed so right before
I practice every day to find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come through
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late
And I'm alone with you
The time is right your perfume fills my head, the stars get red
And oh the nights so blue
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like I love you
( Once you have found her never let her go )
( Once you have found her never let her go )
Some enchanted evening
you may see a stranger
you may see a stranger
across a crowded room
and somehow you know
you know even then
that somewhere you'll see her
again and again
Some enchanted evening(Some enchanted evening)
Someone may be laughing(Someone may be laughing)
You may hear her laughing
across a crowded room
and nite after nite
as strange as it seems
the sound of her laughter will
sing in your dreams
(Some enchanted evening you may see a stranger)
(you may see a stranger)
Across a crowded room
then run to her arms
and make her your own
or all through your life
you may dream all alone
(Once you have found her never let her go)
(Once you have found her never let her go)
Some children see Him lily white
the infant Jesus born this night
Some children see Him lily white
with tresses soft and fair
Some children see Him bronzed and brown
the Lord of heav'n to earth come down
Some children see Him bronzed and brown
with dark and heavy hair
( with dark and heavy hair! )
Some children see Him almond-eyed
This Saviour whom we kneel beside
Some children see Him almond-eyed
With skin of yellow hue!
Some children see Him dark as they
Sweet Mary's Son to whom we pray
Some children see Him dark as they
And, ah! they love Him so!
The children in each different place
Will see the Baby Jesus' face
Like theirs but bright with heav'nly grace
And filled with holy light!
O lay aside each earthly thing
and with thy heart as offering
Come worship now the infant King
'tis love that's born tonight!
The days of wine and roses laugh and run away like a child at play
Through a meadow land 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 wines and roses and you
(The lonely night discloses)
Just a passing breeze filled with memories
Of the golden smile that introduced me to
Oh, Danny boy
The pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen
And down the mountainside
The summer's gone
And all the roses falling
It's you, it's you must go
And I must bide
But come ye back when
Summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed
And white with snow
It's I'll be here in
Sunshine or in shadow
Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy
I love you so
Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy
Can I forget you?
Or will my heart remind me,
That once we walked in a moonlight dream?
Can I forget you,
Or will my heart remind me,
How sweet you made the moonlight seem.
Will the glory of your nearness fade,
As moonlight fades in a veil of rain?
Can I forget you,
When every night reminds me,
How much I want you back again.
Can I forget you,
When every night reminds me,
Tender is the night
So tender is the night
There's no one in the world
Except the two of us
Should tomorrow find us disenchanted
We have shared the love that few have known
Summers by the sea, a sailboat in Capri
These memories shall be our very own
Even though our dreams may vanish
With the morning light
We loved once in splendor
How tender, how tender the night
Even though our dreams may vanish
With the morning light
We loved once in splendor
I hear the cottonwoods whisp'rin' above
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's my love!
The ole hootie owl hootie-hoo's to the dove
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's my love!
Does my darling feel what I feel
When she comes near?
My heart beats so joyfully
You'd think that she could hear!
Wish I knew if she knew what I'm dreaming of!
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's my love!
When the night is warm, soft and warm
I long for her charms!
I'd sing like a violin
If she was in my arms
Wish I knew if she knew what I'm dreaming of!
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's my love!
Memories light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we?
Could we?
Memories may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter we will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
Don't talk of stars burning above
If you're in love show me
Tell me no dreams filled with desire
If you're on fire show me
Here we are together in the middle of the night
Don't talk of spring, just hold me tight
Anyone whose ever been in love will tell you that
This is no time for a chat
Haven't your lips longed for my touch
Don't say how much, show me, show me
Don't talk of love lasting through time
Make me no undying vow
Show me show me
Haven't your lips longed for my touch
Don't say how much, show me, show me
Don't talk of love lasting through time
Make me no undying vow
People, people who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
We're children needing other children
And yet, letting our grown up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children
Lovers, are very special people
They're the luckiest people in the world
With one person
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul says
You were half, now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People who need people
My world is like a river, as dark as it is deep
Night after night the past slips in and gathers all my sleep
My days are just an endless stream of emptiness to me
Filled only by the fleeting moments of her memory
Sweet memories
Sweet memories
She slipped into the silence of my dreams again last night
Wandering from room to room, she's turning on each light
Her laughter spills like water from the river to the sea
And I'm swept away from sadness, clinging to her memory
Sweet memories
Sweet memories
Sweet memories
Sweet memories
Hide your heart from sight,
Lock your dreams at night,
It could happen to you.
Don't count stars
Or you might stumble,
Someone drops a sigh
And down you tumble,
Keep an eye on spring,
Run when church bells ring.
It could happen to you
All I did was wonder
How your arms would be
And it happened to me
It could happen to you.
All I did was wonder
How your arms would be
I got a big surprise when I saw you smile
I never dreamed that it could be
But now I realize since I saw you smile
There's only happiness for me
Bye bye blues
Bye bye blues
Bells ring
Birds sing
Sun is shining
No more pining
Just we two
Smiling thru
Don't sigh
Don't cry
Bye bye blues
Born free, as free as the wind blows
As free as the grass grows
Born free to follow your heart
Live free and beauty surrounds you
The world still astounds you
Each time you look at a star
Stay free where no walls divide you
You're free as the roaring tide
So there's no need to hide
Born free and life is worth living
But only worth living
'Cause you're born free
Stay free, where no walls divide you
You're free as the roaring tide
So there's no need to hide
Born free and life is worth living
But only worth living
When I was a young man courting the girls
I played me a waiting game.
If a maid refused me with tossing curls
I'd let the old earth take a couple of twirls
And I'd ply her with tears instead of pearls
And as time came around, she came my way
As time came around, she came
Oh, it's a long, long while from May to December
But the days grow short when you reach September
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
One hasn't got time for the waiting game
Oh, the days dwindle down to precious few;
September, November.
And these few precious days I'll spend with you.
Once I had a secret love
That lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love
Became impatient to be free
So I told a friendly star
The way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are
And why I am so in love with you
Now I shout it from the highest hills
Even told the golden daffodils
At last my heart's an open door
Precious and few are the moments we too can share.
Quiet and blue, like the sky, I'm hung over you.
And if I can't find my way back home, it just wouldn't be fair
Cause precious and few are the moments we two can share.
Baby, it's you on my mind, our love is so rare.
Being with you is a feeling I just can't compare,
And if I can't hold you in my arms, it just wouldn't be fair
Cause precious and few are the moments we two can share.
And if I can't hold you in my arms, it just wouldn't be fair
Cause precious and few are the moments we two can share.
Precious and few are the moments we too can share.
Quiet and blue, like the sky, I'm hung over you.
And if I can't find my way back home, it just wouldn't be fair
Every time it rains, it rains pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud contains pennies from heaven?
You'll find your fortune falling all over town
Be sure that your umbrella is upside down
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love, you must have showers
So when you hear it thunder, don't run under a tree
Peg o'my heart
I love you, don't let us part
I love you, I always knew it would be you
Since I heard your lilting laughter
It's your Irish heart I'm after
Peg o'my heart
Your glances make my heart say "How's chances?"
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I've never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind the clouds
To hide its face and cry
Did you ever see a robin weep?
When leaves begin to die
Like me he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry
The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
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,
your golden sun will shine for me!
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.
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 when two people share
All their hopes, all their dreams, all their love
There’s a summer place
Where it may rain or storm
Yet I’m safe and warm
In your arms, in your arms
In your arms, in your arms
The Shadow of your smile
When you are gone.
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn.
Look into my eyes
My love and see
All the lovely things
You are to me.
Our whistful little star
Was far too high,
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I.
[chorus]
Now when I remember Spring,
All the joy that love can bring...
I will be remembering,
The Shadow Of Your Smile.
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on Earth, good will to men
I thought how as the day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of peace on Earth, good will to men
And in despair, I bowed my head
There is no peace on Earth, I said
For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on Earth, good will to men
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead, nor doth He sleep
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on Earth, good will to men
Walk hand in hand with me through all eternity
Have faith, believe in me, give me your hand
Love is a symphony of perfect harmony
When lovers such as we walk hand in hand
Be not afraid, for I am with you all the while
So lift your head up high and look toward the sky
Walk hand in hand with me, this is our destiny
No greater love could be, walk hand in hand
Walk with me
Be not afraid, for I am with you all the while
So lift your head up high and look up to the sky
Walk hand in hand with me, this is our destiny
No greater love could be, walk hand in hand
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
The Bells of St. Mary's
I hear they are calling
The young loves, the true loves
Who come from the sea
And so my beloved
When red leaves are falling
The love bells shall ring out, ring out
For you and me
The Bells of St. Mary's
I hear they are calling
The young loves, the true loves
Who come from the sea
And so my beloved
When red leaves are falling
The love bells shall ring out, ring out
For you and me
Intermezzo
The love bells shall ring out, ring out
I've had my share,
Of life's ups and downs,
but fate's been kind,
the downs had been few,
I guess you could say,
I've been lucky,
Or I guess you could say,
Iit's all because of you.
If anyone, should ever write, my life story,
for whatever reason there might be,
you'd be there,
between each line of fame and glory,
'cause your the best thing that ever happened to me,
Oh your the best thing that ever happened to me.
There had been times,
when times were hard,
but always somehow I made it, I made it through,
But for every moment that I've been hurtin',
there was a moment spent.....
just loving you,
If anyone should ever write my life story,
for whatever, for whatever reason there might be,
you'd be there, between each line of fame and glory,
'cause your the best thing that ever happened to me,
your the best thing that ever happened to me,
your the best thing....
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
So if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
I love you baby and if it's quite all right
I need you baby to warm the lonely nights
I love you baby, trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby, now that I've found you stay
And let me love you baby, let me love you
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
When you walk through a storm hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll Never Walk Alone,
Summertime
And the living is easy
Fish are jumping
And the cotton is high
Well, your Daddy's rich
And your Ma is good-looking
So hush, little baby
Don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're gonna rise up singing
You're gonna spread your wings
And take to the sky
But 'til that morning
There ain't nothing gonna harm you
With Daddy and Mammy
Standing by
One of these mornings
You're gonna rise up singing
And I know you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
Whoah, yeah
Yeah, until that morning
Nothing, no nothing's gonna harm you
With Daddy and Mammy
Standin' by
Summertime
Summer...
Time!
When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep you head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at you door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
You've got a friend
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
Yesterday when I was young,
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue,
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game,
The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame;
The thousand dreams I dreamed,
The splendid things I planned
I always built, alas,
on weak and shifting sand;
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
And only now I see how the years ran away.
* Yesterday, when I was young,
So many happy songs were waiting to be sung,
So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see,
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out,
I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation I can now recall concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all.
Yesterday the moon was blue,
and every crazy day brought something new to do,
I used my magic age as if it were a wand,
and never saw the waste and emptiness beyond;
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
and every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died;
The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
And only I am left on stage to end the play.
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung,
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue,
The time has come for me to pay for Yesterday
When I was Young.
No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows
No, I can't forget tomorrorow
When I think of all my sorrows
When I had you there but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
Can't live if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give anymore
Well, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
You don't know what love is
Until you've learned the meaning of the blues
Until you've loved a love you've had to lose
You don't know what love is
You don't know how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost
You don't know what love is
Do you know how a lost heart feels
The thought of reminiscing
And how lips that taste of tears
Lose their taste for kissing
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that can not live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that can not live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You are my sunshine
my only sunshine
You make me happy
when skies are grey
You'll never know dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
You are my one and only sunshine
You'll never know, no, no
You'll never know how much I love you
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
You'll never know
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You'll never know dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
Sunshine
You are my one and only sunshine
Happy
You make me happy when skies are grey
Know it
You'll never show it
Please don't take my sunshine away from
me, me, me, me, me, me
You, you, you
Are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You'll never know dear
How much I love you
Please don't take your sunshine away
Please don't take your sunshine away
Please don't take your sunshine away
From me
The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will colour all my dreams
And light the dawn
Look into my eyes, my love, and see
All the lovely things, you are, to me
Our wistful little star
It was far, too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so, so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies
When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn, there is no sunrise
When your lover has gone
What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
What now my love
Now that its over
I feel the world closing in on me
Here comes the stars
Tumbling around me
And theres the sky where the 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 or die
What now my love
Now there is nothing
Only my last goodbye
What kind of fool am I
Who never fell in love
It seems that I'm the only one
that I have been thinking of
What kind of lips are these
That lied with every kiss
That whispered empty words of love
that left me alone like this
Why can't I fall in love
Like any other man
And maybe then I'll know
What kind of fool I am.
What kind of man is this?
An empty shell
A lonely cell in which
an empty heart must dwell
What kind of clown am I?
What do I know of life?
Why can't I cast away the mask of play
and live my life?
Why can't I fall in love
Till I don't give a damn
What Child is this who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant, king to own Him
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
Raise, raise a song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
Who's peekin' out from under a stairway
Calling a name that's lighter than air
Who's bending down to give me a rainbow
Everyone knows it's Windy
Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smilin' at everybody she sees
Who's reachin' out to capture a moment
Everyone knows it's Windy
And Windy has stor-my eyes
That flash at the sound of lies
And Windy has wings to fly
Above the cloud (above the cloud)
Above the clouds (above the cloud)
Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smilin' at everybody she sees
Who's reachin' out to capture a moment
Everyone knows it's windy
La La La La La La La La La La...(Repeat three times)
Everyone knows it's windy
And Windy has stor-my eyes
That flash at the sound of lies
And Windy has wings to fly
Above the cloud (above the cloud)
Above the clouds (above the cloud)
Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smilin' at everybody she sees
Who's reachin' out to capture a moment
Everyone knows it's windy
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
When you're smilin'
When you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you.
And when you're laughin'
When you're laughin'
The sun comes shinin' through.
When you're cryin',
You bring on the rain,
So, stop you're sighin',
Won't you be happy again!
When you're smiling,
Keep on smilin'
Close your eyes, come with me
And we soon will be
In the wonderful world
Of the young
Hearts remain seventeen
Dreams are evergreen
In the wonderful world
Of the young
Fools may deny it
Wise men know the truth
They have discovered
That love is youth
Take this heart that I give
And we'll always live
In the wonderful world
Of the young
In the wonderful world
Of the young, mmmm
In the wonderful world
Of the young
Fools may deny it
Wise men know the truth
They have discovered
Log on to kill this message.
That love is youth
Take this heart that I give
And we'll always live
In the wonderful world
Let someone start believing in you
Let him hold out his hand
Let him touch you and watch what happens
One someone who can look in your eyes
And see into your heart
Let him find you and watch what happens
Cold, no I won't believe your heart is cold
Maybe just afraid to be broken again
Let someone with a deep love to give
Give that deep love to you
And what magic you'll see
Let someone with a deep love to give
Give that deep love to you
And what magic you'll see
Let someone give his heart
Someone who cares like me
Let someone give his heart who cares like me
As sung by johnny mathis:
Cold, no, I can't believe your heart is cold
Maybe slow to warm from a long, lonely night
Let someone start believing in you
Let him hold out his hand
Let him touch you and watch what happens
One someone who can look in your eyes
And see into your heart
Let him find you and watch what happens
Cold, no, I won't believe your heart is cold
Maybe just afraid to be broken again
Let someone with a deep love to give
Give that deep love to you
And what magic you'll see
Let someone give his heart
If I am dreaming you've got your arms around me
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over, not before
And if I'm dreaming that love at last has found me
Let me go on dreaming
Wake me when it's over and then let me go to sleep, mm, again
It's hard to believe, my dear, that you're here at all
Incredible, I pinch myself, you don't disappear at all
So if I'm hearing you tell some small-town justice you will not forsake me
Takin' vows to make me yours ever more
Then darling, wake me when it's over, and not before
Ooh, wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over and then back to sleep again
It's hard to believe, my dear, that you're here at all
*incra-die-able*, you don't disappear at all
So, tell that small-town justice you'll take me
Tell 'im you'll make me yours ever more
Vino de Amor from the magical vine
Once you've taken a sip of that sweet summer wine
You'll be lost in its spell
Then I know you'll be mine
So let's drink to el vino de amor
Vino de amor and the taste of your lips
Leave a heavenly glow when I've stolen a kiss
It's a moment in time like a total eclipse
So let's drink to el vino de amor
As evening falls you are here in my arms
And the sound of the sea's like a million guitars
We'll lie beneath the blanket of stars
And we'll drink el vino de amor
We've tasted love on a warm starry nights
As I look in your eyes in the soft morning light
No I'll never forget such a beautiful sight
I've traveled far
The land and the sea
Beautiful places
I happened to be
One little town
I'll never forget
Is Lourdes
The village of St. Bernadette
Ave, ave, ave, Maria
Ave, ave, ave, Maria
There, like a dream
This wonderful night
I gazed at the grotto
Aglow in the light
A feeling divine
Swept over me there
I fell to my knees
As I whispered the prayer
Ave, ave, ave, Maria
Ave, ave, ave, Maria
Now I am home
I'm happy to be
Telling of places
I've traveled to see
One little town
I'll never forget
Is Lourdes
The village of St. Bernadette
Ave, ave, ave, Maria
Ave, ave, ave, Maria
Ave, ave, ave, Maria
Which one will the fountain bless
Which one will the fountain bless
Three coins in a fountain
Each one seeking happiness
Thrown by three hopeful lovers
Which one will the fountain bless
Three hearts in a fountain
Each heart longing for its home
There they lie in the fountain
Somewhere in the heart of Rome
Which one will the fountain bless
Which one will the fountain bless
Three coins in a fountain
Through the ripples how they shine
Just one wish will be granted
One heart will wear a Valentine
Make it mine, make it mine, make it mine
Just one wish will be granted
One heart will wear a Valentine
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.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow.
Try to remember when life was so tender that
Dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember
The fire of September that made us mellow.
As I approach the prime of my life, I find I have the time of my life
Learning to enjoy at my leisure all the simple pleasures
And so I happily concede
That this is all I ask, this is all I need
Beautiful girls, walk a little slower when you walk by me
Lingering sunsets, stay a little longer with the lonely sea
Children everywhere, when you shoot at bad men, shoot at me
Take me to that strange, enchanted land grown-ups seldom understand
Wandering rainbows, leave a bit of color for my heart to own
Stars in the sky, make my wish come true before the night has flown
And let the music play as long as there's a song to sing
Hey, did you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world?
And if you did, was she crying, crying?
Hey, if you happen to see the most beautiful girl that walked out on me
Tell her I'm sorry.
Tell her I need my baby.
Won't you tell her that I love her.
I woke up this morning, realized what I had done,
I stood alone in the cold gray dawn:
I knew I'd lost my morning sun.
I lost my head and I said some things,
Now come the heartaches that the morning brings.
I know I'm wrong and I couldn't see,
I let my world slip away from me.
So, hey, did you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world?
And if you did, was she crying, crying?
An' hey, if you happen to see the most beautiful girl that walked out on me:
Tell her I'm sorry.
Tell her I need my baby.
Oh, won't you tell her that I love her.
If you happen to see the most beautiful girl that walked out on me:
Tell her I'm sorry.
Tell her I need my baby.
Our Father, which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors; ( As we forgive our debtors! )
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go.
To right the unrightable wrong
To be better far than you are
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest, to follow that star,
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To be willing to give when there's no more to give
To be willing to die so that honor and justice may live
And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
The sweet-est sounds I'll ever hear
Are still inside my head
The kind-est words I'll ever know
Are waiting to be said
The most en-trancing sight of all
Is yet for me to see
And the dearest love in all the world
Is waiting somewhere for me
Is waiting somewhere somewhere for me
The sweet-est sounds I'll ever hear
Are still inside my head
The kind-est words I'll ever know
Are waiting to be said
The most en-trancing sight of all
Is yet for me to see
And the dearest love in all the world
Is waiting somewhere for me
Is waiting somewhere somewhere for me...
Whenever we kiss
I worry and wonder
Your lips may be near
But where is your heart?
It's always like this
I worry and wonder
You're close to me here
But where is your heart?
It's a sad thing to realise
That you've a heart that never melts
When we kiss, do you close your eyes
Pretending that I'm someone else?
You must break the spell
This cloud that I'm under
So please won't you tell
Just think of things
Like daffodils
And peaceful sheep
On clover hills
And morning sun
On whipporwills
And you'll see the face that I love
Think of any old sky
getting ready to cry
Down comes the rain but it's raining confetti
Then think of things
like far off isles
And blue-green isles
And sunlit smiles
And in your hand
The wishing star
The one you thought too far above
Every lovely view introduces you
frosted window panes
candles gleaming inside
painted candy canes on the the tree
Santa's on his way,
he's filled his slay
with things, things for you and for me
it's the time of year
when the world falls in love
every song you hear
seems to say
Merry Christmas
may your new year dreams come true
and this song of mine
in three quarter time
wishes you and yours
the same thing too
Intermezzo
Santa's on his way,
he's filled his slay
with things, things for you and for me
Intermezzo
Merry Christmas
may your new year dreams come true
and this song of mine
in three quarter time
wishes you and yours
the same thing too
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety two
Although it's been said many times many ways
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
The First Noel, the Angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
And by the light of that same star
Three Wise men came from country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both Pause and stay
Right o'er the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
Then entered in those Wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made Heaven and earth of nought
And with his blood mankind has bought.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Sweet little Jesus boy
They made you be born in a manger
Sweet little holy child
We didn't know who you were
Didn't know you'd come to save us Lord
To take our sins away
Our eyes were blind, we could not see
We didn't know who you were
You have told us how
We are trying
Master you have shown us how
Even when you were dying
Just seems like we can't do right
Look how we treated you
But please Sir forgive us Lord
We didn't know it was you
Sweet little Jesus boy
Born a long time ago
Sweet little holy child
If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
'Cause baby, baby my time is much too expensive
I don't want no little boy
But you, you are serious
Don't go play with my heart, makes me furious
And if you want me to love you
Ooh baby I will, ooh yeah I will
Tell it like it is
Oh yeah, just let your conscience be your guide
You know deep down inside, I believe you love me
Just forget your foolish pride
I think life's too short for all this sorrow
We might be here today, gone tomorrow
I might as well just get what I want
I wanna live, I wanna live
Tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed now let your conscious be your guide
Ooh yeah, and deep down inside I belive you love me
Just forget your foolish pride
Tell it like it is
Aw yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah let your conscious be your guide
Aw, Aw, tell it like it is
Baby, baby I believe you love me,
Just forget your foolish pride.
Tell it like it is
Tell it to me baby, tell it to me
You gotta tell me right now
This is the moment I've waited for
I can hear my heart singing
Soon bells will be ringing
This is the moment of sweet aloha
I will love you longer than forever
Promise me that you will
Leave me never
Here and now, dear
All my love I vow, dear
Promise me that you will
Leave me never
I will love you
Longer than forever
Now that we are one
Clouds won't hide the sun
Blue skies of Hawaii smile
On this, our wedding day
(I do) I do (love you) love you
Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing, ring-ting tingle-ing, too,
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling "Yoo hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap, let's go,
Let's look at the show.
We're riding in a wonderland of snow.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap, it's grand
Just holding your hand.
We're gliding along with a song of a wintery fairy land.
Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy cozy are we,
We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be.
Let's take that road before us and sing a chorus or two
Softly I will leave you softly
For my heart would break if you should wake and see me go
So I leave you softly long before you miss me
Long before your arms can beg me to stay
For one more hour or one more day
After all the years I can't bear the tears to fall so
Softly, as I leave you there
Softly I will leave you softly
For my heart would break if you should wake and see me go
So I leave you softly long before you miss me
Long before your arms can beg me to stay
For one more hour or one more day
After all the years I can't bear the tears to fall so
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
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 fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
[trumpet]
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Quiet nights and quiet stars
Quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
Quiet nights and quiet dreams
Quiet walks by quiet streams
And the window lookin' on the mountains and the sea how lovely
This is where to be
Here with you so close to me
Till the final flicker of life's ember
I who was lost and lonely
Believing life was a only a bitter tragic joke
Have found with you the meaning of existence oh, my love
(instrumental interlude)
This is where to be
Here with you so close to me
Till the final flicker of life's ember
I who was lost and lonely
Believing life was a only a tragic joke
SAY IT ISN'T SO
Berlin
Say it isn't so,
Say it isn't so,
Everyone is saying
You don't love me,
Say it isn't so.
Everywhere I go,
Everyone I know,
Whispers that you're growing tired of me,
Say it isn't so.
People say that you,
Found somebody new,
And it won't be long
Before you leave me,
Say it isn't true,
Say that everything is still okay,
That's all I want to know,
And what they're saying,
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
For those who fancy coloring books
As certain people do
Here's a new one for you
A most unusual coloring book
The kind you never see
Crayons ready, very well
Begin to color me
These are the eyes that watched him
As he walked away
Color them gray
This is the heart that thought
He would always be true
Color it blue
These are the arms that held him
And touched him then lost him somehow
Color them empty now
These are the beads I wore
Until she came between
Color them green
This is the room I sleep in
Walk in and weep in
Hide in that nobody sees
Color it lonely, please
This is the man
The one I depended upon
Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you;
Embrace me, you irreplaceable you.
Just one look at you, my heart grew tipsy in me;
You, and you alone, bring out the Gypsy in me.
I love all the many charms about you;
Above all, I want my arms about you.
Don't you be a naughty baby;
Come to papa, do,
My sweet embraceable you.
I love all the many charms about you;
Above all, I want my arms about you.
Don't you be a naughty baby;
Come to papa, come to papa, do,
And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and ev'ry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
"No, oh no not me,
I did it my way".
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
Dream when you're feelin' blue,
Dream that's the thing to do.
Just watch the smoke rinks rise in the air;
You'll find your share of memories there.
So dream when the day is through;
Dream and they might come true.
Things never are as bad as they seem,
So dream, dream, dream.
(Instrumental - Strings)
Things never are as bad as they seem
Loving you the way that I do
There's nothing I can do about it
Loving may be all you can give
But baby I can't live without it
More than you know, more than you know
Girl of my heart, I love you so
Lately I find, you're on my mind
More than you know
Whether you're right, whether you're wrong
Girl of my heart, I'll string along
You need you so
More than you'll ever know
Loving you the way that I do
There's nothing I can do about it
Loving may be all you can give
But baby I can't live without it
How I'd cry, how I'd cry
If you got tired, and said good-bye
More than I'd show
Long time ago in Bethlehem so the Holy Bible say
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day
While shepherds watched their flock by night they see a bright new star
Then hear a choir of angels sing music seems to come from a far
Chorus:
Hark now hear the angels sing a new King's born today
That man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day
Trumpets sound and angels sing listen what they say
That man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day
Now Joseph and his wife Mary come to Bethlehem that night
They found no place to lay the child not a single room was in sight
Chorus
By and by they found a little nook in a stable all forlorned
In a manger cold and dark Mary's little boy was born
The most beautiful sound I ever heard:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria.
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria.
Maria, I've just met a girl named Maria,
and suddenly the name will never be the same to me.
Maria! I've just kissed a girl named Maria.
And suddenly I've found how wonderful a sound can be.
Maria, say it loud and there's music playing.
Say it soft and it's almost like praying,
Build your dreams to the stars above
But when you need someone to love,
Don't go to strangers darling, come to me.
Play with fire till your fingers burn,
And when there's no place for you to turn,
Don't go to strangers darling, come to me.
For, when you hear a call to follow your heart,
You'll follow your heart I know.
I've been through it all, for I'm an old hand,
And I'll understand if you go!
So, make your mark for your friends to see
But when you need more than company
I don't remember what day it was
I didn't notice what time it wa-as
All I know is that I fell in love with you
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you...
Every day's a new day in love with you
With each day comes a new way of loving you
Every time I kiss your lips my mind starts to wander
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you
Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow (yesterday)
I love you more today than yesterday
But, darling, not as much as tomor-orrow-ow
Tomorrow's date means springtime's just a day away
Cupid, we don't need you now, be on your way
I thank the Lord for love like ours that grows ever stronger
And I always will be true
I know you feel the same way too
Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow (yesterday)
I love you more today than yesterday
But, darling, not as much as tomor-orrow-ow
Every day's a new day, every time I love you
Every way's a new way, every time I love you
Every day's a new day, every time I love you
Mona lisa, mona lisa, men have named you
Youre so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only cause youre lonely they have blamed you?
For that mona lisa strangeness in your smile?
Do you smile to tempt a lover, mona lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, mona lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?
Are you warm, are you real, mona lisa?
Love is a many splendored thing
It's the April rose that only grows in the early Spring
Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living
The golden crown that makes a man a king
Once on a high and windy hill, In the morning mist
Two lovers kissed and the world stood still
Then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to sing
Yes, true love's a many splendored thing
Love is a many splendored thing
It's the April rose that only grows in the early Spring
Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living
The golden crown that makes a man a king
Once on a high and windy hill, In the morning mist
Two lovers kissed and the world stood still
Then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to sing
Come, they told me

Then he smiled at me
Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum
Little alter boy, I wonder could you pray for me?
Little alter boy, for I have gone astray
What must I do to be holy like you?
Little alter boy ,oh, let me hear you pray
Little alter boy, I wonder could you ask your lord
Ask him, alter boy, to take my sins away
What must I do to be holy like you?
Little alter boy, oh, let me hear you pray
Lift up your voice and send a pray above
Help me rejoice and fill that prayer with love
Now I know my life has been all wrong
Lift my your voice and help a sinner be strong
Little alter boy, I wonder could you pry for me?
Could you tell our lord I'm gonna change my ways today?
What must I do to be holy like you?
Little alter boy, oh, let me hear you pray

This is the night of love
The shining hour of Kalua
Her song is in the air
Her lips are waiting there
Who will be Kalua's only love?
Who will her lover be?
Who will her lover be?
Before the night is old
My arms will hold Kalua
And where the trandewinds blow
Soft and low
Our love will blossom bright
In the night
And stars will sing above
It's very clear our love is here to stay
Not for a year but ever and a day
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies, and in time may go
But, oh my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
Blue, blue, my world is blue
Blue is my world now I'm without you
Gray, gray, my life is gray
Cold is my heart since you went away
Red, red, my eyes are red
Crying for you alone in my bed
Green, green, my jealous heart
I doubted you and now we're apart
When we met how the bright sun shone
Then love died, now the rainbow is gone
Black, black, the nights I've known
I bless the day I found you,
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you, let it be me.
Don't take this heaven from one,
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever, let it be me.
Each time we meet, love,
I find complete love.
Without your sweet love
What would life be?
So never leave me lonely,
Tell me you'll love me only
And that you'll always let it be me.
Comme l'argile
L'insecte fragile
L'esclave docile
Je t'appartiens
De tout mon Ætre
Tu es le seul maätre
Je dois me soumettre
Je t'appartiens
To you I'm praying,
Hear what I'm saying.
Please, let your heart beat
For me, just me.
And never leave me lonely,
Tell me you'll love me only
And that you'll always let it be me,
We don't exist
We are nothing but shadow and mist
In the mirror we look as we pass
Our reflections revealed in the glass
Don't you know that the blood in your veins
Is as lifeless as yesterday's rain
It's a game where we come and conceal
The confusion we feel
As long as we're nameless
Our bodies are blameless
You cried when we kissed
It was nothing but shadow and mist
Two illusion who touch in a trance
Making love not by choice, but by chance
To a theme we tore from their past
To a tango we swore was their last
We are shadows of dance
As long as we're nameless
Our bodies are blameless
You cried when we kissed
It was nothing but shadow and mist
Two illusions who touch in a trance
Making love not by choice, but by chance
To a theme that we tore from their past
To a tango we swore was their last
We are shadows of dance
The last tango...
Slow dance, last chance
Time for romance
Someone needs somebody
Someone wants to share
When a heart find each other
Oh, love will be there
It's a part of a game
That's as old as the rain
Slow dance, last chance
One move, one glance
And love took me over
When I took your hand
And I pull you closer, so you understand
If you're lonely tonight
Won't you please hold me tight
It's a slow dance, last chance
If you're lonely tonight
Won't you please hold me tight
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
Since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
It doesn't show signs of stoppin'
And I brought some corn for poppin'
The lights are turned down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss good night
How I'll hate goin' out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-in'
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
(When we finally kiss good night)
How I'll hate goin' out in the storm
(But if you really hold me tight)
All the way home I'll be war-ar-arm
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-in'
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King.
Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room,
And heav'n and nature sing ( And heav'n and nature sing! )
And heav'n and nature sing ( And heav'n and nature sing! )
And heav'n and heav'n and nature sing.
Joy to the world! the Saviour reigns;
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy ( Repeat the sounding joy! )
Repeat the sounding joy ( Repeat the sounding joy! )
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love ( And wonders of His love! )
And wonders of His love ( And wonders of His love! )
It's impossible, tell the sun to leave the sky
It's just impossible
It's impossible, ask a baby not to cry
It's just impossible
Can I hold you closer to me
And not feel you going through me?
Split the second that I never think of you
Oh, how impossible
Can the ocean keep from rushing to the shore?
It's just impossible
If I had you, could I ever run for more?
It's just impossible
And tomorrow, should you ask me for the world
Somehow I'd get it, I would sell my very soul
And not regret it for to live without your love
Is just impossible
Can the ocean keep from rushing to the shore?
It's just impossible
If I had you, could I ever run for more?
It's just impossible
And tomorrow, should you ask me for the world
Somehow I'd get it, I would sell my very soul
And not regret it for to live without your love
I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm
I'm as jumpy as a puppet on a string
I'd say that I had spring fever
But I know it isn't spring
I am starry-eyed and vaguely discontented
Like a nightingale without a song to sing
Oh, why should I have spring fever
When it isn't even spring?
I keep wishing, I were somewhere else
Walking down a strange new street
Hearing words that I have never heard
From a girl I've yet to meet
I'm as busy as a spider spinning daydreams
I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing
I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud or a Robin on the wing
But I feel so gay in a melancholy way
That it might as well be spring
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
Come Dasher, Come Dancer, Come Prancer, Come Vixen
On Comet, On Cupid, On Donner, On Blitzen
Put on your bells, your Christmas bells
Come on, we're going for a sleigh ride
Christmas time is here again
Come on, we're going for a sleigh ride
To bring good cheer again
>From the top of the chimney to the top of the wall
Dash away, dash away, dash away, all
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
Old Saint Nicholas, he took a flight
The moon was shining bright
Bring out the bells
Ol' Saint Nick was riding through the sky
You should have seen those reindeer fly
Bring out the bells, it's a holiday season
Bring out the bells, it's a happy time
Bring out the bells, we've got a good reason
To ring the bells and hears those pretty bells chime.
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold
Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, from heaven's all gracious king
The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing
Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurl
And still their heavenly music floats, O'er all the weary world.
Above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing
And ever o'er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing
O ye, beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low
Who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow
Look now for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing
O rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing
For lo the days are hastening on, by prophets seen of old
When with the ever circling years shall come the time foretold
When the new heaven and earth shall own the prince of peace their King
When the sun is high in the afternoon sky,
You can always find something to do;
But from dusk til dawn, as the clock ticks on,
Something happens to you.
In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake and think about the girl
And never ever think of counting sheep
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be hers if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the mor-ning
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
No religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace
You may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world
You may say
That I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
If we only had the time
To stop and start all over
If there only was a way
To built a brand new world
Is it really much too late
To try and think about it
Then to change all the fatal mistakes
If we only had the time
To see we’re all just people
In a corner of the world
Or have we all gone blind
There is so much love to give
And then in return
If we gave ourselves a little time
Look at all the children
Playing games in the sun
Why did we forget that we are having fun
If we lived a hundred years
If we cried a million tears
Would we listen to the voice
that no one hears
If we only had the time
To stop and start all over
If there only was a way
To built a brand new world
Is it really much too late
To try and think about it
Then to change all the fatal mistakes
If we only had the time
To see we’re all just people
In a corner of the world
Or have we all gone blind
There is so much love to give
And then in return
If we gave ourselves a little time
If I could only go back again
To the places where I have I have been
Feeling love as we did then
If I could only go back, if I could only go back
Crystal waters of yesterday
Golden rainbows you washed away
Lonely clouds that can only say
If I could only go back, if I could only go back
To live in your arms again
To love like we did then
To run free as the wind forever
Silver wings of eternity
Take me back like the child to see
Faces lost in the memories
If I could only go back, if I could only go back
To live in your arms again
To love as we did then
I want to be free like the bluebird flying by me
Like the waves out on the blue sea
Your love has to tie me, don't try me, say goodbye
I want to be free, don't say you love me, say you like me
But when I need you beside me
Stay close enough to guide me, confide in me, oh-oh-oh-oh
I want to hold your hand, walk along the sand
Laughin' in the sun, always havin' fun
Doin' all those things without any strings to tie me down
I want to be free like the warm September wind, babe
Say you'll always be my friend , babe
We can make it to the end, babe
Again, babe, I gotta say
I want to be free
I want to be free
I Saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus,
underneath the misletoe last night!
She didn't see me creep,
down stairs to have a peep!
She thought that i was tucked up
in my bedroom fast asleep.
Then I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus,
underneath his beard so snowy white!
Oh, what a laugh it would have been,
If Daddy had only seen,
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night!
I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus,
underneath the misletoe last night!
She didn't see me creep,
down stairs to have a peep!
She thought that i was tucked up
in my bedroom fast asleep!
Then I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus,
underneath his beard so snowy white!
What a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen,
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night,
How many arms have held you
And hated to let you go
How many, how many, I wonder
But I really don't want, I don't wanna know
How many lips have kissed you
And set your soul aglow
How many, how many, I wonder
But I really don't want to know
So always make me wonder
And always make, make me guess
And even, you know even if I ask you
Oh darling don't confess
Just let it remain your secret
For darling I love you so
No wonder, no wonder, I wonder
I'll be home for christmas;
You can Count on me.
Please have snow and mis-tle-toe
And presents on the tree.
Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light glems.
I'll be home for christmas
If only in my dreams.
I'll be home for christmas;
You can count on me.
Please have snow and mis-tle-toe
And presents on the tree.
Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light glems.
I'll be home for Christmas
Goodbye, no use leading with our chins,
This is where our story ends,
Never lovers ever friends.
Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day,
But before you walk away,
I sincerely want to say.
I wish you bluebirds in the spring,
To give your heart a song to sing,
And then a kiss, but more than this,
I wish you love.
And if you like lemonade
To cool you in some lazy glade,
I wish you health, and more than wealth,
I wish you love.
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be,
So with my best, my very best,
I set you free.
I wish you shelter from the storm,
A cozy fire to keep you warm,
Most of all, when snowflakes fall,
I wish you love.
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best, my very best,
I set you free

This is hopeless
Yes, it's so hopeless
Cause you're not
Coming back anymore
Oh, I tried
Yes, I tried to forget you
I've tried running around
But I find
That it's hopeless
Yes, it's hopeless
I just can't get you
Out of my mind
I keep telling my heart
That I'm lucky
That I'm much better off
All alone
But it's hopeless
It's just hopeless
Cause my heart has
A mind of it's own
I walk away the nights
Until the city lights
Fade into another lonely day
I still can't go to bed
I walk some more instead
But I just can't
Walk those blues away
I keep praying that you'll
Change your mind, dear
And I'll see your
Sweet face at the door
But it's hopeless
Yes, it's so hopeless
Cause you're not
Coming back anymore

It's the holiday season
And Santa Claus is coming back
The Christmas snow is white on the ground
When old Santa gets into town
He'll be coming down the chimney, down
Coming down the chimney, down
It's the holiday season
And Santa Claus has got a toy
For every good girl and good little boy
He's a great big bundle of joy
He'll be coming down the chimney, down
Coming down the chimney, down
He'll have a big fat pack upon his back
And lots of goodies for you and me
So leave a peppermint stick for old St. Nick
Hanging on the Christmas tree
It's the holiday season
With the whoop-de-do and hickory dock
And don't forget to hang up your sock
'Cause just exactly at 12 o'clock
He'll be coming down the chimney
He'll be coming down the chimney
Coming down the chimney, down!

Good morning starshine, the earth says "Hello"
You twinkle above us, We twinkle below
Good morning starshine, you lead us along
My love and me as we sing our early morning singing song
Gliddy glup gloopy nibby nabby nooby la la la lo lo
Sabba sibby sabba nooby abba nabba le le lo lo
Tooby ooby walla nooby abba nabba
Early morning singing song
Good morning starshine, the earth says "Hello"
You twinkle above us, We twinkle below
Good morning starshine, You lead us along
My love and me as we sing our early morning singing song
Gliddy glup gloopy nibby nabby nooby la la la lo lo
Sabba sibby sabba nooby abba nabba le le lo lo
Tooby ooby walla nooby abba nabba
Early morning singing song
Singing a song, humming a song, singing a song
Loving a song, laughing a song, sing the song
Sing the song, song the sing
Gone with the wind, just like a leaf that has blown away.
Gone with the wind, my romance has flown away.
Yesterday's kisses are still on my lips,
I had a lifetime of heaven on my fingertips.
But now all is gone, gone is the rapture that thrilled my heart.
Gone with the wind.
The gladness that stilled my heart.
Just like a flame, love burned brightly,
Then became an empty smoke dream that has gone,
Hark! the herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled"
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
Christ by highest heav'n adored
Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of a Virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings
Ris'n with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing
There's sweeter music when she speaks, isn't there?
A different bloom about her cheeks, isn't there?
Could I be wrong , could it be so
Oh, where, oh, where, did Gigi go?
Gigi, am I a fool without a mind?
Or have I merely been too blind to realize, Gigi
Why, you've been growing up before my eyes,
Gigi, you're not at all that funny awkward little girl I knew.
Oh, no, overnight there's been a breathless change in you.
Oh, Gigi, while you were trembling on the brink
Was I out yonder somewhere blinking at a star?
Oh, Gigi, have I been standing up too close or back too far?
When did your sparkle turn to fire and your warmth become desire?
This time we almost made the pieces fit
Didn't We, girl?
This time we almost made some sense of it
Didn't We, girl?
This time I had the answer right here in my hand,
Then I touched it and it had turned to sand,
This time we almost sang our song in tune
Didn't We, girl?
This time we almost made it to the moon oh,
Didn't We, girl?
This time we almost made our poem rhyme,
This time we almost made that long hard climb,
Didn't We almost make it this time?
This time we almost made the pieces fit
Didn't We, girl?
This time we almost made some sense of it
Didn't We, girl?
This time I had the answer right here in my hand,
Then I touched it and it had turned to sand,
This time we almost sang our song in tune
Didn't We, girl?
This time we almost made it to the moon oh,
Didn't We, girl?
This time we almost made our poem rhyme,
This time we almost made that long hard climb,
Just yesterday mornin', they let me know you were gone
Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
I won't make it any other way
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows, it'll turn your head around
Well there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again, now
Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things coming my way this time around now
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain now
Na na na. Na na na na na na na na na na. Na na na na na na na na
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again, now
Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things coming my way this time around now
I know why I've waited.
Know why I've been blue;
Prayed each night for someone,
Exactly like you.
Why should we spend money
on a show or two?
No one does those love scenes
Exactly like you.
You make me feel so grand
I want to hand the world to you.
You seem to understand
Each foolish little scheme I'm scheming
Dream I'm dreaming.
Now I know why mother
Taught me to be true.
She meant me for someone
Exactly like you.
I know why I've waited.
Know why I've been blue;
Prayed each night for someone...
Why should we spend money
on a show or two?
No one does those love scenes...
You make me feel so grand
I want to hand the world to you.
You seem to understand
Each foolish little scheme I'm scheming
Dream I'm dreaming.
Now I know why mother
Taught me to be true.
She meant me for someone...
You sheltered me from harm.
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you
I would give anything I own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own,
Just to have you back again.
You taught me how to love,
What its of, what its of.
You never said too much,
But still you showed the way,
And I knew from watching you.
Nobody else could ever know
The part of me that cant let go.
I would give anything I own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again.
Is there someone you know,
Youre loving them so,
But taking them all for granted.
You may lose them one day,
Someone takes them away,
And they dont hear the words you long to say
I would give anything I own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own
Feelings, nothing more than feelings,
trying to forget my feelings of love.
Teardrops rolling down on my face,
trying to forget my feelings of love.
Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it.
I wish I've never met you, girl;
you'll never come again.
Feelings, wo-o-o feelings,
wo-o-o, feel you again in my arms.
Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
and feelings like I'll never have
you again in my heart.
Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it.
I wish I've never met you, girl;
you'll never come again.
Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
and feelings like I've never have
you again in my life.
Don't fall in love with me darlin', I'm a rambler
Though you are the sweetest sweetheart in this world
It's all for your sake dear that I'm leavin'
So, don't give your heart to a rambler, little girl
Well I handed you a lie and now I'm sorry
You're just a little sweeter than the rest
Believe me when I say I don't wanna hurt you
Or do anything to spoil your happiness
So don't fall in love with me darlin', I'm a rambler
Though you are the sweetest sweetheart in this world
It's all for your sake dear that I'm leavin'
So, don't give your heart to a rambler, little girl
If I ever get the blues, now sweet baby
Or the lure of the highway on my mind
Alone I long to hear that whistle of the freight train
And the boxcars as they rattle down the line
Don't fall in love with me darlin', 'cause I'm a rambler
Though you are the sweetest sweetheart in this world
It's all for your sake dear that I'm leavin'
So, don't give your heart to a rambler, little girl
Better not girl
No don't fall in love with me darlin', I'm a rambler
Though you are the sweetest sweetheart in this world
It's all for your sake dear that I'm leavin'
So, don't give your heart to a rambler, little girl
Because they told me I can't behold ye till weddin' music starts playin'
To ease my longin' there's nothin' wrong in my standin' out here and sayin'
Come to me, bend to me, kiss me good day!
Darlin', my darlin', 'tis all I can say
Jus' come to me, bend to me, kiss me good day!
Give me your lips an' don't take them away
Come, dearie, near me so ye can hear me, I've got to whisper this softly
For though I'm burnin' to shout my yearnin', the words come tiptoein' off me
Oh, come to me, bend to me, kiss me good day!
Darlin' my darlin', 'tis all I can say
Jus' come to me, bend to me, kiss me good day!
Christmas present, Christmas tree
Children's eyes are wide to see
Santa's presents 'neath the tree
All day asked for on his knee
Christmas present, Christmas past
From the presents which one's last
Christmas future sure to be
Looking underneath the tree
For the present, look high, not low
Christmas was a gift itself many years ago
Christmas presents at the start
Was a gift from someone's heart
Christ is Christmas, that day is His
Call me irresponsible
Call me unreliable
Throw in undependable, too
Do my foolish alibis bore you?
Well , I'm not too clever, I
I just adore you
So, call me unpredictable
Tell me I'm impractical
Rainbows, I'm inclined to pursue
Call me irresponsible
Yes, I'm unreliable
But it's undeniably true
That I'm irresponsibly mad for you
Do my foolish alibis bore you?
Girl , I'm not too clever, I
I just adore you
Call me unpredictable
Tell me that I'm so impractical
Rainbows, I'm inclined to pursue
Go ahead call me irresponsible
Yes, I'm unreliable
But it's undeniably true
I'm irresponsibly mad for you
You know it's true
The stars won't come out,
If they know that you're about,
'Cause they couldn't match,
The glow of your eyes.
And, oh, who am I?
Just an ordinary guy,
Tryin' hard
To win the first prize.
Woh-oh, Candida,
We could make it together.
The further from here, girl, the better,
Where the air is fresh and clean.
Hooh-hoooh, Candida,
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya,
I promise life will be sweeter,
And it says so in my dreams.
The future is bright,
The gypsy told me so last night.
Said she saw our children
Playing in the sunshine.
And there was you and I
In a house, baby, no lie.
And all these things were yours,
And they were mine.
Woh, my Candida,
We could make it together.
The further from here, girl, the better,
Where the air is fresh and clean.
Hooh-hoooh, Candida,
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya,
I promise life will be sweeter,
And it says so in my dreams.
[Instrumental break.]
And, oh, who am I?
Just an ordinary guy,
You know I'm tryin' hard,
To win the first prize.
Oh, my Candida,
We could make it together.
The further from here, girl, the better,
Where the air is fresh and clean.
Woh, my Candida,
[Fade.]
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya,
I promise that life will be sweeter,
Wise men say, only fools rush in,
But I cant help falling in love with you.
Shall I stay, would it be a sin?
If I cant help falling in love with you.
Like a river flows, slowly to the sea,
Darling so it goes,
Some things are meant to be.
Take my hand, take my whole life too.
For I cant help falling in love with you.
( Like a river flows, slowly to the sea,
Darling so it goes, )
Some things are meant to be.
Take my hand, take my whole life too.
For I cant help falling in love with you,
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
There's a summer place
Where it may rain or storm
Yet I'm safe and warm
In your arms, in your arms
In your arms, in your arms
When hearts are 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,
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.
Oh maybe, maybe for tomorrow
We can build a new dream for you and me.
so much in love, be 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.
A time for us someday there'll be
When chains are torn by courage born of a love that's free
A time when dreams so long denied
Can flourish as we unveil the love we now must hide
A time for us at last to see
A life worthwhile for you and me
And with our love through tears and thorns
We will endure as we pass surely through every storm
A time for us someday there'll be
A new world, a world of shining hope for you and me
A time for us at last to see
A life worthwhile for you and me
And with our love through tears and thorns
We will endure as we pass surely through every storm
A time for us someday there'll be
There's the perfume of a million flowers
Clinging to the heart of old Hawaii
There's a rainbow following the showers
Bringing me a part of old Hawai
There's a silver moon
A symphony of stars
There's a hula tune
And the hum of soft guitars
There's the tradewind
Sighing in the heavens
Singing me
Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again
Sing them out again
Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow
Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know, start to feeling good
You simply got no choice
[break]
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again
Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one
Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
There's a place for us,
Somewhere a place for us.
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere.
There's a time for us,
Some day a time for us,
Time together with time to spare,
Time to learn, time to care,
Some day!
Somewhere.
We'll find a new way of living,
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere . . .
There's a place for us,
A time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we're halfway there.
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow,
Some day,
How wonderful to know you really love me
How wonderful to know you really care
How beautiful to feel my arms around you
Kissing your eyes, hearing your sighs, touch your hair
How wonderful to know sunshine and laughter
That fills my empty heart with love
To share this life with you and hereafter
How wonderful to know that you are mine
How wonderful to know sunshine and laughter
That fills my empty heart with love divine
To share this life with you and hereafter
How wonderful to know that you are mine
To share this life with you and hereafter
Don't look so sad;
I know it's over;
But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning.
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're bur.....ning.
CHORUS:
Lay your head upon my pillow,
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times.
I'll get along; you'll find another;
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me.
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever.
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me.
CHORUS:
I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing if you're not here with me
I'll have a blue Christmas thats certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue blue Christmas
Intermezzo
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing if you're not here with me
I'll have a blue Christmas thats certain
And when that blue blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue blue Christmas
You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white
Oh, how we danced on the night we were wed
We vowed our true love, though a word wasn't said
The world was in bloom, there were stars in the skies
Except for the few that were there in your eyes
Dear, as I held you close in my arms
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms
Two hearts gently beating, murmuring low
"My darling, I love you so"
The night seemed to fade into blossoming dawn
The sun shone anew but the dance lingered on
Could we but recall that sweet moment sublime
We'd find that our love is unaltered by time
Dear, as I held you close in my arms
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms
Two hearts gently beating, murmuring low
Bali Ha'i may call you
Any night, any day
In your heart you'll hear it call you
"Come away, come away"
Bali Ha'i will whisper
On the wind of the sea
"Here am I your special island"
"Come to me, come to me"
Your own special hopes
Your own special dreams
Bloom on the hillside
And shine in the streams
If you try you'll find me
Where the sky meets the sea
Here am I your special island
Come to me, come to me
Bali Ha'i
Bali Ha'i
Bali Ha'i
Someday you'll see me
Clothing in the sunshine
My head's sticking out from a low flying cloud
You'll hear me call you
Singing through the sunshine
Sweet and clear as can be
"Come to me, ..."
If you try you'll find me
Where the sky meets the sea
Here am I your special island
Come to me, come to me
Bali Ha'i
Bali Ha'i
(That baby doll)
Oooohh
(Look out for her)
Baby doll
(Especially)
Hmmmmmm
(The amateur)
There's many a guy who'll sing you these blues
His dream was a lie, his heart's in his shoes
He wasn't so green, in ways he was smart
Till she hit the scene and she took him apart
He'll tell you as plain as day
"Keep away from baby doll"
(That baby doll)
(Look out for her)
You'll see in her eyes the warning you should
You oughta be ooh eyed, she'll lose you but good
As long as she's warm, the livin' is sweet
Then she'll raise a storm, you're back on the street
You might as well know, my friend, that's the end
You're cooked, you're through
(My friend, you're through)
(You're cooked, you're through)
She was my baby doll
And she'll do the same to you
(That baby doll)
[Intro]
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
The stars in the sky looking down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay
The cattle are lowing, the poor baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle til morning is nigh
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care
And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh.
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.
And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you."
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date.
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate.
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny.
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die.
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.
Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers
I'll never stop loving you
Whatever else I may do
My love for you will live 'til time itself is through
I'll never stop wanting you
And when forever is through
My heart will beat the way it does each time we meet
The night doesn't question the stars that appear in the skies
So why should I question the stars that appear in my eyes
Of this I'm more than just sure
My love will last and endure
I'll never, no, I'll never stop loving you
I'll never stop loving you
Whatever else I may do
My love for you will live 'til time itself is through
I'll never stop wanting you
And when forever is through
My heart will beat the way it does each time we meet
The night doesn't question the stars that appear in the skies
So why should I question the stars that appear in my eyes
Of this I'm more than just sure
My love will last and endure
You lay so easy on my mind
Oh, so easy on my mind
Whenever I need you
All I have to do is close my eyes.
You lay so easy on my mind
Oh, so easy on my mind.
Wrap me in your warmness,
And let me feel your body close to mine.
Everything you say and do
Finds me wanting more of you.
And each moment
Brings to life a million dreams.
Heavens something real
Yes, its something I can feel
When I feel your angel touch
All over me.
You lay so easy on my mind
Oh, so easy on my mind
Oh, there’s not a part of me
Your sweet love don’t reach to satisfy.
Every day I need you more,
You’re the one I’m livin’ for
And the best you’ll give
You’ve given me.
You completely satisfy
Every need I have inside
And I pray you’ll never take
Your love from me.
You lay so easy on my mind
Oh, so easy on my mind
Oh, there’s not a part of me
Your sweet love don’t reach to satisfy.
Oh, there’s not a part of me
In the summertime when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
'Cause you don't want my love
"Some other time", that's whatcha say when I want you
Then you laugh at me and make me cry
'Cause you don't want my love
You don't seem to care a thing about me
You'd rather live without me
Than to have my arms around you
When the nights are cold and you're so all alone
(All alone)
In the summertime when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
'Cause you don't want my love
Once upon a time you used to smile and wave to me
And walk with me but now you don't
'cause you don't want my love
Some other guy is takin' up all your time
Now ya don't have any time for me
'Cause you don't want my love
You don't seem to care a thing about me
You'd rather live without me
Than to have my arms around you
When the nights are cold and you're so all alone
(All alone)
In the summertime when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
'Cause you don't want my love
In the summertime when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
'Cause you don't want my love
(In summertime, in summertime when all the leaves are green)
In the summertime, I'll be blue all the time
Beatles - Yesterday
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly, I'm not half to man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, I yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go I don't know she woldn't say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Why she had to go I don't know she woldn't say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Sleigh bells ring, are ya listenin' ?
In the lane snow is glistenin'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say Are you married?
We'll say No man
But you can do the job
When you're in town
Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream, by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we've made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Sleigh bells ring, are ya listenin' ?
In the lane snow is glistenin'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Oh! walkin' in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say Are you married?
We'll say No man
But you can do the job
When you're in town
Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream, by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we've made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
We'll be happy in love
As two turtle doves
Livin' in a fairy land
Oh! we'll be walkin'
Verse 1
Where do I begin
To tell the story of how great a love can be;
The sweet love story that is older than the sea,
The simple truth about the love she brings to me?
Where do I start?
Verse 2
With her first hello,
She gave new meaning to this empty world of mine,
There'll never be another love, another time,
She came into my life and made the living fine,
She fills my heart,
Bridge
She fills my heart with very special things,
With angels' songs, with wild imaginings,
She fills my soul with so much love,
That anywhere I go I'm never lonely;
With her along, who could be lonely?
I reach for her hand -- it's always there...
Verse 3 (x2)
How long does it last?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now but this much I can say:
I know I'll need her till the stars all burn away,
We've only just begun to live,
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way.
And yes, We've just begun.
Before the rising sun we fly,
So many roads to choose
We start our walking and learn to run.
And yes, We've just begun.
Sharing horizons that are new to us,
Watching the signs along the way,
Talking it over just the two of us,
Working together day to day
Together.
And when the evening comes we smile,
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow,
In the cool of the evening when everything is getting kinda' groovy
I call you up and ask "would you like to go and meet to see a movie?"
First you say no, you've got some plans for tonight
And then you stop, and say "alright"
Love is kinda' crazy with a spooky little girl like you
(spooky)
You always keep me guessin' and I never seem to know what you are thinking
And if a fella looks at you, it's for sure your little eye will be a-winkin'
I get confused, 'cause I don't know where I stand
And then you smile, and hold my hand
Love is kinda' crazy with a spooky little girl like you
(spooky)
Let's dance...
If you decide to stop this little game that you are playing
I'm gonna tell you all that my heart has been dying to be sayin'
Just like a ghost you've been hauntin' my dreams
So I confess, on halloweens
Love is kinda' crazy with a spooky little girl like you
Haul out the holly;
Put up the tree before my spirit falls again.
Fill up the stocking,
I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again now.
For we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute,
Candles in the window,
Carols at the spinet.
Yes, we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute.
It hasn't snowed a single flurry,
But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry;
So climb down the chimney;
Put up the brightest string of lights I've ever seen.
Slice up the fruitcake;
It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough.
For I've grown a little leaner,
Grown a little colder,
Grown a little sadder,
Grown a little older,
All:
And I need a little angel
Sitting on my shoulder,
Need a little Christmas now.
Mame:
Haul out the holly;
Well, once I taught you all to live each living day.
All:
Fill up the stocking,
Young Patrick:
But Auntie Man, it's one week from Thanksgiving Day now.
All:
But we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute,
Candles in the window,
Carols at the spinet.
Yes, we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute.
Agnes:
It hasn't snowed a single flurry,
But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry;
Ito:
So climb down the chimney;
Put up the brightest string of lights I've ever seen.
All:
Slice up the fruitcake;
It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough.
For we need a little music,
Need a little laughter,
Need a little singing
Ringing through the rafter,
And we need a little snappy
"Happy ever after,"
Need a little Christmas now.
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?
Would you like to glide in my beautiful balloon?
We could float among the stars together, you and I
For we can fly, we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon
It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon
We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky
For we can fly, we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
Suspended under a twilight canopy
We'll search the clouds for a star to guide us
If by some chance you find yourself loving me
We'll find a cloud to hid us, keep the moon beside us
Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloon
Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon
If you'll hold my hand we'll chase your dream across the sky
For we can fly, we can fly

We'll make a space
In the lives that we planned
And here we'll stay
Until it's time for you to go
Yes, we're diff'rent worlds apart

You could have stayed

I still stay
Stranger beware, there's love in the air under paris skies
Try to be smart and don't let your heart catch on fire
Love becomes king the moment it's spring under paris skies
Lonely hearts meet somewhere on the street of desire
Parisian love can bloom high in a skylight room
Or in a gay café where hundreds of people can see
I wasn't smart and I lost my heart under paris skies
Don't ever be a heartbroken stranger like me
Oh, I fell in love
Yes, I was a fool
For paris can be so beautifully cruel
Paris is just a gay coquette who wants to love and then forget
Stranger beware, there's love in the air
Just look and see what happened to me under paris skies
Watch what you do, the same thing can happen to you
Ooh, I fell in love
Mmm, I was a fool
Yes, paris can be so beautifully cruel
Paris can be a gay coquette who wants to love and then forget
Stranger beware, there's love in the air
I wasn't smart and I lost my heart under paris skies
Watch what you do, the same thing can happen to you
Watch what you do, the same thing can happen to you
If you're feeling fancy free,
Come wander through the world with me,
And any place we chance to be
Will be our rendezvous.
Two for the road, we'll travel down the years,
Collecting precious memories,
Selecting souvenirs and living life
The way we please.
*In summertime the sun will shine,
In winter we'll drink summer wine,
And every day that you are mine
Will be a lovely day.
As long as love still wears a smile,
I know that we'll be two for the road,
And that's a long, long, while.
(Instrumental interlude and pick up at *.)
In summertime the sun will shine,
In winter we'll drink summer wine,
And every day that you are mine
Will be a lovely day.
As long as love still wears a smile,
I know that we'll be two for the road,
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
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
Touch me in the morning
Then just walk away
We don't have tomorrow
But we had yesterday
(Hey!)
Wasn't it me who said that
Nothing good's gonna last forever?
And wasn't it me who said
Let's just be glad for the time together?
It must've been hard to tell me
That you've given all you had to give
I can understand you're feeling that way
Everybody's got their life to live
Well, I can say goodbye in the cold morning light
But I can't watch love die in the warmth of the night
If I've got to be strong
Don't you know I need to have tonight when you're gone?
'Till you go I need to lie here and think about
The last time that you'll touch me in the morning
Then just close the door
Leave me as you found me, empty like before
(Hey!)
Wasn't it yesterday
We used to laugh at the wind behind us?
Didn't we run away and hope
That time wouldn't try to find us (Didn't we run)
Didn't we take each other
To a place where no one's ever been?
Yeah, I really need you near me tonight
'Cause you'll never take me there again
Let me watch you go
With the sun in my eyes
We've seen how love can grow
Now we'll see how it dies
If I've got to be strong
Don't you know I need to have tonight when you're gone?
'Till you go I need to hold you until the time
Your hands reach out and touch me in the morning
(Mornings where blue and gold and we could feel one another living)
Then just walk away
(We walked with a dream to hold and we could take what the world was giving)
We don't have tomorrow,
(There's no tomorrow here, there's only love and the time to chase it)
But we had yesterday
(But yesterday's gone my love, there's only now and it's time to face it)
The summer smiles, the summer knows
And unashamed, she sheds her clothes
The summer smoothes the restless sky
And lovingly she warms the sand on which you lie
The summer knows, the summer's wise
She sees the doubts within your eyes
And so she takes her summer time
Tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger
Twists the world 'round her summer finger
Lets you see the wonder of her arms
And if you've learned your lessons well
There's little more for her to tell
One last caress, it's time to dress for fall
And if you've learned your lesson well
There's little more for her to tell
Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight.
You're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
Just the way you look tonight.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart;
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.
You're lovely... never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it? 'Cause I love you ...

I've traveled far, the land and the sea
Beautiful places I happened to be
One little town I'll never forget
Is Lourdes, the village of St. Bernadette
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-i-ia
There, like a dream, this wonderful night
I gazed at the grotto aglow in the light
A feeling divine swept over me there
I fell to my knees as I whispered the prayer
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-i-ia
Now I am home, I'm happy to be
Telling of places I've traveled to see
One little town I'll never forget
Is Lourdes, the village of St. Bernadette
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-i-ia
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a
The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king and foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything, the mere idea of you
The longing here for you
You'll never know, how slow the moments go
Till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
You ask me how much I need you
Must I explain
I need you oh my darling
Like roses need rain
You ask how long I'll love you
I'll tell you true
Until the Twelfth of Never
I'll still be loving you
Hold me close
Never let me go
Hold me close
Melt my heart like April snow
I'll love you 'til the bluebells
Forget to bloom
I'll love you 'til the clover
Has lost its perfume
And I'll love you 'til the poets
Run out of rhyme
Until the Twelfth of Never
And that's a long, long time
Hold me close
Never let me go
Hold me close
Melt my heart like April snow
I'll love you 'til the bluebells
Forget to bloom
I'll love you 'til the clover
Has lost its perfume
And I'll love you 'til the poets
Run out of rhyme
Until the Twelfth of Never
And that's a long, long time
Until the Twelfth of Never
And that's a long, long time
The touch of your lips upon my brow,
Your lips that are cool and sweet,
Such tenderness lies in their soft caress,
My heart forgets to beat,
The touch of your hands upon my head,
The love in your eyes a shine,
And now, at last, the moment divine,
The touch of your lips on mine.
The touch of your lips upon my brow,
Your lips that are cool and sweet,
And now, at last, the moment divine,
The touch of your hand, the love of your eyes
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.
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...
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
and Grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me...
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...
as long as life endures.
When we've been here ten thousand years...
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise...
then when we've first begun.
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
There's a village hidden deep in the valley
Among the pine trees half forlorn
And there on a sunny morning
Little Jimmy Brown was born
All the chapel bells were ringing
In the little valley town
And the songs that they were singing
Were for baby Jimmy Brown
Then the little congregation
Prayed for guidance from above
Lead us not into temptation,
Bless this hour of meditation
Guide him with eternal love
There's a village hidden deep in the valley
Beneath the mountains high above
And there, twenty years thereafter
Jimmy was to meet his love
All the chapel bells were ringing,
Was a great day in his life
Cause the songs that they were singing
Were for Jimmy and his wife
Then the little congregation
Prayed for guidance from above
Lead us not into temptation,
Bless oh Lord this celebration
May their lives be filled with love
From the village hidden deep in the valley
One rainy morning dark and gray
A soul winged its way to heaven
Jimmy Brown had passed away
Just a lonely bell was ringing
In the little valley town
Twas farewell that it was singing
To our good old Jimmy Brown
And the little congregation
Prayed for guidance from above
Lead us not into temptation,
May his soul find the salvation
You think you know me pretty well,
But how can you tell,
You never get inside my head.
The times we talk, we never speak,
We play hide and seek
So many things are left unsaid.
Why can't you see
What's on the other side of me,
The side of me that reaches out to you.
Sweet thoughts and dreams,
Like drops of rain on rippling streams
That wind and bend,
Rivers with no end,
Flowing on the other side of me.
It seems I always get unstrung
I trip on my tongue
With words that come out something else.
I'm so afraid the things I say
Might chase you away,
I have to hide behind myself.
Why can't you see
What's on the other side of me,
The side of me that reaches out to you.
Why must I hide
These feelings that have been denied.
Only you can set me free
See what's on the other side of me.
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la
I have to hide behind myself.
Why can't you see
What's on the other side of me,
The side of me that reaches out to you.
Why must I hide
These feelings that have been denied.
Only you can set me free
See what's on the other side of me,
On the other side of me,
The look of love
Is in your eyes
A look your smile can't
disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more than
Just words could every say
And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away
[Chorus:]
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
You've got the look of love
It's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Baby be mine, tonight
Let this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Let's take a lovers vow
And seal it with a kiss
[Chorus]
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so
The look of love
Let this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow
And baby we'll seal it with a kiss
Can't we two go walkin' together out beyond the valley of trees?
Out where there's a hillside of heather curtseyin' gently in the breeze
That's what I'd like to do; see the heather but with you.
The mist of May is in the gloamin',and all the clouds are holdin' still
So take my hand and let's go roamin'through the heather on the hill.
The mornin' dew is blinkin' yonder,there's lazy music in the rill,
And all I want to do is wander through the heather on the hill.
There may be other days as rich and rare,
There may be other springs as full and fare,
But the won't be the same, they'll come and go
For this I know;
That when the mist is in gloamin'
And all the clouds are holdin' still,
If you're not there I won't go roamin' through the heather on the hill,
The heather on the hill.
The mist of May is in the gloamin',and all the clouds are holdin' still
So take my hand and let's go roamin'through the heather on the hill.
The mornin' dew is blinkin' yonder,there's lazy music in the rill,
And all I want to do is wander through the heather on the hill.
There may be other days as rich and rare,
There may be other springs as full and fare,
But the won't be the same, they'll come and go
For this I know;
That when the mist is in gloamin'
And all the clouds are holdin' still,
If you're not there I won't go roamin' through the heather on the hill,
This land is mine
God gave this land to me
This brave and ancient land
To me
And when the morning sun
Reveals her hills and plains
Then I see a land
Where children can run free
So take my hand
And walk this land with me
And walk this lovely land
With me
Though I am just a man
When you are by my side
With the help of God
I know I can be strong
Though I am just a man
When you are by my side
With the help of God
I know I can be strong
To make this land our home
If I must fight, I will fight
To make this land our own
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
It is a special one, it's never seen the sun
It only comes out when the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming
It's growing in the street right up through the concrete
But soft and sweet and dreamin'
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
With eyes as black as coal that look down in my soul
And starts a fire there and then I lose control
I have to beg your pardon
I'm going to pick that rose and watch her as she grows in my garden
(Orchestral)
With eyes as black as coal that look down in my soul
And starts a fire there and then I lose control
I have to beg your pardon
I'm going to pick that rose and watch her as she grows in my garden
(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)
The harbor lights were shining, The moon was at its high. The captain said, "Thank God we're home! We've drunk the barrels dry." The mizzen mast was shaken, And the lanterns all burned low, I'd never thought we'd make it But we've twenty leagues to go So blow you southern trades And guide me safely to the shore, I'll never ever gonna sail The seven seas no more I don't want to miss the sand in my hair, The roll of the tide and the salt in the air Deep inside it's true I'm a home lovin' man Comin' on home to you I don't want to miss the wind in my eyes, The shimmerin' light when the seagull flies Lo, I've traveled far I'm a home loving man, Home is where you are The crowd upon the quayside Their faces long and drawn Are suddenly awakened As we sail in on the dawn The wives, the sons, the lovers, Who never gave up hope All breathe a sigh together As they reach to catch the rope God bless you, southern trades, You got me safely back this time Oh, you'll never have the need again To save this soul of mine I don't want to miss the sand in my hair, The roll of the tide and the salt in the air Deep inside it's true I'm a home lovin' man Comin' on home to you I don't want to miss the wind in my eyes, The shimmerin' light when the seagull flies Lo, I've traveled far I'm a home loving man, Home is where you are I don't want to miss the sand in my hair, The roll of the tide and the salt in the air Deep inside it's true I'm a home lovin' man Comin' on home to you I don't want to miss the wind in my eyes, The shimmerin' light when the seagull flies Lo, I've traveled far I'm a home loving man, Home is where you are Yes, I don't want to miss the sand in my hair, The roll of the tides and the salt in the air Deep inside it's true I'm a home lovin' man Comin' on home to you...
That old bilbao moon, I won't forget it soon
That old bilbao moon, just like a big balloon
That old bilbao moon would rise above the dune
While tony's beach saloon rocked with an old-time tune
We'd sing a song the whole night long and I can still recall
Those were the greatest (those were the greatest)
Those were the greatest (those were the greatest)
Those were the greatest nights of them all
No paint was on the door (no paint was on the door)
The grass grew through the floor (the grass grew through the floor)
Of tony's two by four (of tony's two by four)
On the bilbao shore (on the bilbao shore)
But there were friends galore (howdy do, howdy do)
And there was beer to pour (chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug)
And moonlight on the shore (and the moon shines above)
That old bilbao shore (on the shore, not the floor)
We'd sing all night with all our might and I can still recall
Those were the greatest (those were the greatest)
Those were the greatest (those were the greatest)
Those were the greatest nights of them all
That old bilbao moon, I won't forget it soon
That old bilbao moon, just like a big balloon
That old bilbao moon would rise above the dune
While tony's beach saloon rocked with an old-time tune
We'd sing all night with all our might and I can still recall
Those were the greatest (those were the greatest)
Those were the greatest (those were the greatest)
Last night I started out happy
Last night my heart was so gay
Last night I found myself dancing
In my favorite cabaret
You were completely forgotten
Just an affair of the past
Then suddenly something happened to me
And I found my heart beating, oh, so fast
I saw you last night and got that old feeling
When you came in sight I got that old feeling
The moment that you danced by I felt a thrill
And when you caught my eye my heart stood still
Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning
And I knew the spark of love was still burning
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
For that old feeling, is still in my heart
I saw you last night and got that old feeling
When you came in sight I got that old feeling
The moment that you danced by I felt a thrill
And when you caught my eye my heart stood still
Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning
And I knew the spark of love was still burning
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
This is the moment I've waited for
I can hear my heart singing
Soon bells will be ringing
This is the moment of sweet aloha
Promise me that you will leave me never
I will love you longer than forever
Here and now, dear
All my love I vow, dear
Promise me that you will leave me never
I will love you longer than forever
Now that we are one
Clouds won't hide the sun
Blue skies of Hawaii smile
On this, our wedding day
I do (I do)
Love you (love you)
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain.
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain.
Oh, the dark days are done, and the bright days are here,
My sunny one shines so sincere,
Oh, Sunny one so true, I love you.
Sunny, thank you for the sunshine bouquet.
Sunny, thank you for the love you've brought my way.
You gave to me your all and all,
Now I feel ten feet tall,
Oh, Sunny one so true, I love you.
Sunny, thank you for the truth you've let me see.
Sunny, thank you for the facts from A to Z.
My life was torn like wind blown sand,
Then a rock was formed when we held hands.
Sunny one so true, I love you.
Sunny, thank you for that smile upon your face.
Sunny, thank you for that gleam that flows with grace.
You're my spark of nature's fire,
You're my sweet complete desire.
Strangers in the night,
Exchanging glances
Wondering the night,
What were the chances
We'd be sharing love
Before the night was through
Something in your eyes
Was so inviting
Something in your smile
Was so exciting
Something in my heart
Told me I must have you
Strangers in the night
Two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away
A warm embracing dance away
And ever since that night
We've been together
Lovers at first sight
In love forever
It turned out so right
Strangers in the night
Two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away
A warm embracing dance away
There was a man, a lonely man
Who lost his love through his indifference
A heart that cared, that went unchecked
Until it died in his silence
And Solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself, it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire
Another day, a lonely day
So much to say that goes unspoken
And through the night, his sleepless nights
His eyes are closed, his heart is broken
And Solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
She's coming back again
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire
A little hope, goes up in smoke
Just how it goes, goes without saying
Solitaireee
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
Ohhh
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire
(so rare, so rare)
(so rare, so rare)
So rare, you're like the fragrance of blossoms fair
Sweet as a breath of air fresh with the morning dew
So rare, you're like the sparkle of old champagne
Orchids in santa fe couldn't compare to you
You are perfection, you're my idea
Of angels singin' the "ave maria"
Or you're an angel, I'd breathe and live you
With every beat of the heart that I give you
So rare, this is a heaven on earth we share
Caring the way we care, ours is a love so rare
(so rare, so rare)
(so rare, so rare)
(you are perfection, you're my idea)
(of angels singin' the "ave maria")
Or you're an angel, I'd breathe and live you
With every beat of the heart that I give you
So rare, (so rare) this is the heaven on earth we share (so rare)
Caring the way we care (so rare) ours is a love so rare
(so rare, so rare)
Took a while to drag me out of bed,
Aim some coffee at my head,
Saw the clock I'm running late,
It's an ordinary day.
And I'm like a dog on head,
Knock one out and then fall asleep,
It's sad but true,
I'd rather be with you.
Don't you forget about me,
When you're a celebrity,
It will be only you and me before too long.
So little time so much to do,
I'd rather spend my days with you.
So little time so much to do,
I'd like to spend one day with you.
And if that day is not enough,
Maybe we can stay in touch,
But I'm not making plans for tomorrow,
For tomorrow nevre comes.
Said I've been celibate for years,
Not out of chance there's no-one here,
See I can't get my end away,
Another ordinary day,
And I'd love to see a little more of you,
Your clothes would look better on my bedroom floor...bedroom floor.
Don't you forget about me,
When you're a celebrity,
I know you're busy,
But we all need somebody - before too long.
Red and yellow and pink and green!
Purple and orange and blue!
I can sing a rainbow!
Sing a rainbow!
Sing a rainbow too!
Listen with your eyes!
Listen with your eyes and sing everything you see!
You can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow
Sing along with me.
Red and yellow and pink and green!
Purple and orange and blue!
Now we can sing a rainbow!
Sing a rainbow!
Sing a rainbow too!
Listen with your eyes!
Listen with your eyes and sing everything you see!
You can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow
Sing along with me.
Now we can sing a rainbow!
Sing a rainbow!
Sing a rainbow too!
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style,
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas.
Children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile,
And on every street corner you hear
Silver bells, silver bells, it's Christmastime in the city.
Hear the bells go ding-a-ling, hear them ring,
Soon it will be Christmas day.
Strings of street lights, even stop lights blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures.
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch, this is Santa's big scene,
And above all this bustle you hear
Silver bells, silver bells, it's Christmastime in the city.
Hear the bells go ding-a-ling, hear them ring,
As the curtain rises there's a hush
The lights go dim, the stage is bare
And as the orchestra begins to play
A light appears and she is there
And as she dances like a dream
A spell is cast a magic scene
For her beauty captures every heart
But I am lost forever more
I can't share her with other hearts
Love is what I feel
Those hearts may come and go
But I'll be there for every show
But she'll never know
I know it's impossible
I cannot share my secret love
All too soon she takes the final bow
The curtain falls and she is gone
And as I wander through the lonely night
I see her dance the dying swan
I will always love from afar
WE HAD JOY,
WE HAD FUN,
WE HAD SEASONS IN THE SUN;
BUT THE HILLS WE WOULD CLIMB
WERE JUST SEASONS OUT OF TIME.
ALL OUR LIVES WE HAD FUN,
WE HAD SEASONS IN THE SUN;
BUT THE STARS WE COULD REACH
WERE JUST STARFISH ON THE BEACH.
ADIEU, EMILE,
MY TRUSTED FRIEND,
WE`VE KNOWN EACH OTHER
SINCE WE WERE NINE OR TEN;
TOGETHER WE CLIMBED HILLS AND TREES,
LEARNED OF LOVE
AND A-B-C`s,
SKINNED OUR HEARTS
AND SKINNED OUR KNEES.
ADIEU, EMILE,
IT`S HARD TO DIE,
WHEN ALL THE BIRDS ARE SINGING IN THE SKY;
NOW THAT THE SPRING IS IN THE AIR,
PRETTY GIRLS ARE EV`RYWHERE;
THINK OF ME
AND I`LL BE THERE.
[Chorus]
ADIEU, PAPA,
PLEASE PRAY FOR ME,
I WAS THE BLACK SHEEP OF THE FAMILY;
YOU TRIED TO TEACH ME
RIGHT FROM WRONG,
TOO MUCH WINE
AND TOO MUCH SONG,
WONDER HOW I GOT ALONG.
ADIEU, PAPA,
IT`S HARD TO DIE,
WHEN ALL THE BIRDS ARE SINGING IN THE SKY;
NOW THAT THE SPRING IS IN THE AIR,
LITTLE CHILDREN EV`RYWHERE;
WHEN YOU`LL SEE THEM, I`LL BE THERE.
[Chorus}
ADIEU, FRANCOISE,
MY TRUSTED WIFE,
WITHOUT YOU I`D HAVE HAD A LONELY LIFE;
YOU CHEATED LOTS OF TIMES,
BUT THEN,
I FORGAVE YOU IN THE END,
THO` YOUR LOVER WAS MY FRIEND.
ADIEU, FRANCOISE,
I`TS HARD TO DIE,
WHEN ALL THE BIRDS ARE SINGING IN THE SKY;
NOW THAT THE SPRING IS IN THE AIR,
WITH YOUR LOVERS EV`RYWHERE;
JUST BE CAREFUL,
I`LL BE THERE.
ALL OUR LIVES WE HAD FUN,
WE HAD SEASONS IN THE SUN;
BUT THE STARS WE COULD REACH
I just came back from a lovely trip along the Milky Way
Stopped off at the North Pole to spend a holiday
I called on dear old Santa Claus
To see what I could see
He took me to his workshop
And told his plans to me. So
[Chorus]
You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He's making a list and checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin to town
He sees you when you're sleepin'
He knows when you're a wake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
Oh! You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Santa Claus is comin' to town
And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a Toyland all around the Christmas tree
So! You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin to town
Now Santa is a busy man, He has no time to play
He's got millions of stockings to fill on Christmas day
You'd better write your letter now
And mail it right away
Because he's getting ready
His reindeers and his sleigh. So
[Chorus]
With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Santa Claus is comin' to town
And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a Toyland all around the Christmas tree
So! You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Sail along, silvery moon,
Trail along lover's lane,
Sail along, silvery moon,
To my love again.
In the glow of your light,
Let me see her tonight,
Once again, hold her tight,
Back in lover's lane.
And then the whole world wll seem brighter,
As we stroll hand in hand,
Two blue hearts will be lighhter,
You understand,
Sail along silvery moon,
Trail along lover's lane,
Sail along, silvery moon,
Long ago,far away,life was clear, close your eyes
"Remember," is a place from long ago
"Remember", filled with ev'rything you know
Remember, when you're sad and feeling down, remember, turn around
Remember, life is just a memory
Remember, close your eyes and you can see
Remember, think of all that life can be, remember
Dream,love is only in a dream, remember
Remember, life is never as it seems, dream
Dream, love is only in a dream, remember
Remember, life is never as it seems, dream
Red roses for a blue lady
Mister florist take my order please
We had a silly quarrel the other day
I hope these pretty flowers chase her blues away
Red roses for a blue lady
Send them to the sweetest gal in town
And if they do the trick, I'll hurry back to pick
Your best white orchid for her wedding gown
(Red roses for a blue lady)
We had a silly quarrel the other day
I hope these pretty flowers chase her blues away
Red roses for a blue, blue lady
Send them to the sweetest gal in town
And if they do the trick, I'll hurry back to pick
Your best white orchid for her wedding gown

One day of your life is all I'm askin' girl,
Just give me one day of your life and let me share your world.
If you give me one little moment I will make this moment last,
I'll live the future with the past.
One day of your life can't mean that much to you,
It's only one day of your life, but it will see me through.
If I can't have you for ever, if I can't have things my way
I'll be content with just one day.
If I must build a world of fantasy,
Please with a memory.
One day of your life is all I'm asking girl,
Just give me one day of your life and let me share your world.
If I can't have you for ever, if I can't have things my way
I'll be content with just one day.
One day of your life,
Ooooh one day of your life,
It's only one day of your life,
Once upon a time a girl with moonlight in her eyes
Put her hand in mine and said she loved me so;
But that was once upon a time, very long ago.
Once upon a hill we sat beneath a willow tree
Counting all the stars and waiting for the dawn
But that was once upon a time, now the tree is gone.
How the breeze ruffled through her hair;
How we always laughed as though tomorrow wasn't there.
We were young and didn't have a care
Where did it go?
Once upon a time the world was sweeter than we knew,
Everything was ours, how happy we were then!
I have often walked down this street before
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before
All at once am I several stories high?
Knowing I'm on the street where you live
Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour out of every door?
No, it's just on the street where you live
And oh, the towering feeling
Just to know somehow you are near
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear
People stop and stare, they don't bother me
For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be
Let the time go by, I won't care
O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming,
Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friends.
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
O Come All Ye Faithful
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of Angels;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
O Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing all that hear in heaven God's holy word.
Give to our Father glory in the Highest;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
All Hail! Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning,
O Jesus! for evermore be Thy name adored.
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
I'll catch a moonbeam to make you a gown
Snowflakes to wear in your hair like a crown
And you'll wear them well
Noelle, Noelle
Rainbows will make you a ring for your hand
Stardust will carpet your own wonderland
There you'll always dwell
Noelle, Noelle
You're the smallest miracle
That I will ever see
But you're the greatest thing
That ever happened to me
Angels will whisper to bring you a breeze
I'll make you music from their melodies
This I can foretell
For you, for you
Never can say goodbye no, no, no, no,
I never can say goodbye
Even tho' the pain and heartache seem to follow me where ever I go;
Tho' I tried and tried to hide my feelings they always seem to show.
Then you try to say you're leaving me and I always have to say no,
tell my why, is it so?
But I Never can say goodbye no, no, no, no,
I never can say goodbye
Ev'ry time I think I've had enough and start heading for the door,
There's very strange vibrations, piercing me right to the core. It says
Turn around you fool you know you love her more and more.
Tell me why, is it so?
Don't wanna let you go.
I never can say goodbye girl
Don't wanna let you go.
I never can say goodbye no, no, no, no, no, no.
I never can say goodbye girl
Don't wanna let you go.
I never can say goodbye no, no, no, no, no, no.
Never can say good bye no, no, no, no,
I never can say goodbye.
I keep thinkin' that our problems soon are all gonna work out,
But there's that same unhappy feelin', there's that anguish, there's that
Doubt, It's the same old dizzy hang-up can't do with you or without.
Don't wanna let you go.
I never can say goodbye no, no, no, no, no, no.
Never can say good bye no, no, no, no,
My eyes adored you though I never laid a hand on you.
My eyes adored you like a million miles away from me,
you couldn't see how I adored you.
So close, so close and yet so far.
Carried your books from school
playin' make believe you're married to me,
you were fifth-grade, I was sixth when we came to be.
Walkin' home ev'ry day over Bonnicut Bridge and Bay
till we grew into the me and you who went our separate ways.
My eyes adored you though I never laid a hand on you.
My eyes adored you like a million miles away from me,
you couldn't see how I adored you.
So close, so close and yet so far.
Headed for city lights, climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame,
I worked my fingers to the bone made myself a name.
Funny I seemed to find that no matter how the years unwind;
still I reminisce 'bout the girl I miss and the love I left behind.
My eyes adored you though I never laid a hand on you.
My eyes adored you like a million miles away from me,
you couldn't see how I adored you.
So close, so close and yet so far.
All my life I will remember how warm and tender we were way back then,
(My eyes adored you though I never laid a hand on you.)
Whoa baby,
(My eyes adored you like a million miles away from me,
you couldn't see how I adored you.)
Oh the feeling, sad regrets I know I won't ever forget you,
my childhood friend.
(So close, so close and yet so far.)
My eyes adored you though I never laid a hand on you.
My eyes adored you like a million miles away from me,
you couldn't see how I adored you.
So close, so close and yet so far.
My eyes adored you though I never laid a hand on you.
My eyes adored you like a million miles away from me,
you couldn't see how I adored you.
The boys watch the girls while the girls watch the boys who watch the girls go by
Eye to eye, they solemnly convene to make the scene
Which is the name of the game, watch a guy watch a dame on any street in town
Up and down and over and across, romance is boss
Guys talk "girl talk", it happens everywhere
Eyes watch girls walk with tender lovin' care
It's keepin' track of the fact watching them watching back
That makes the world go 'round
"what's that sound? " each time you hear a loud collective sigh
They're making music to watch girls by
Guys talk "girl talk", it happens everywhere
Eyes watch girls walk with tender lovin' care
It's keepin' track of the fact watching them watching back
That makes the world go 'round
"what's that sound? " each time you hear a loud collective sigh
They're making music to watch girls by
The boys watch the girls while the girls watch the boys who watch the girls go by
Eye to eye, they solemnly convene to make the scene
I shared the golden sun with her,
In days that are no more.
I used to love to run with her
Along the sandy shore.
She had a special prayer for me
To help my world go right.
Her hand was always there for me
The coldest winter night.
CHORUS:
I hear the music from across the way,
Across the bridges of my mind.
I lift the misty shades of yesterday
To catch the dreams I left behind.
It was a joy to be with her,
To watch the way she smiled.
I guess I just felt free with her,
So free and young and wild.
I really came to love that girl;
How much she'll never know.
I need the nearness of that girl;
I really miss her so.
CHORUS:
I hear the music from across the way,
Across the bridges of my mind.
I lift the misty shades of yesterday
To catch the dreams I left behind.
(Repeat)
I hear the music from across the way,
Across the bridges of my mind.
I lift the misty shades of yesterday
To catch the dreams I left behind.
Look at me...
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel i'm clinging to a cloud
I can't understand,
I get misty just holding your hand
Walk my way...
And a thousand violins begin to play
It could be the sound of your hello
That music I hear,
I get misty the moment you're near
Can't you see that you're leading me on
And it's just what I want you to do
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
Thats why im following you
Hoh-wohow!
On my own...
When I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hand from my glove
I'm too misty and too much in love
Yeah, wooh!
Can't you see that you're leading me on
And it's just, just what I want you to do, oh!
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you
huh, yeahoh!
On my own...
When I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my left foot from my right
My hand from my glove
I'm too misty, I'm too much in love
Wooh!
I'm too misty!
It was Montmartre
It was midnight Come to think of it
It was spring
There was music I was listening
Then in the room somewhere someone began to sing
This serenade made for remembering
A small cafe, Mam'selle
Our rendezvous, Mam'selle
The violins were warm and sweet
And so were you, Mam'selle
And as the night danced by
A kiss became a sigh
Your lovely eyes seemed to sparkle
Just like wine does
No heart ever yearned the way mine does for you
And yet I know too well
Some day you'll say goodbye
Then violins will cry
And so will I, Mam'selle
A small cafe, Mam'selle
Our rendezvous, Mam'selle
The violins were warm and sweet
And so were you, Mam'selle
And as the night danced by
A kiss became a sigh
Your lovely eyes seemed to sparkle
Just like wine does
No heart ever yearned the way mine does for you
And yet I know too well
Some day you'll say goodbye
Then violins will cry
Play our love's theme tonight
My love's here, it's no dream tonight
It's been oh so long
Since we've danced to our love song
And I just know the melody that made her mine
Will be the melody that keeps her close to me, So
Play our love's theme once more
Make her feel what she felt before
While the lights are low
Just let the music flow
And I just know that the melody that made her mine
Will be the melody that keeps her close to me
Love's theme
Let it play...
La La La...
Come on and play our love's theme again
Touch her heart, touch her soul and then
Once we sip the wine
Her lips will welcome mine
And I just know that the melody that made her mine
Will be the melody that keeps her close to me
Where do I begin to tell the story
Of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start
With her first hello
She gave a meaning to this empty world of mine
They'll never be another love another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart
She fills my heart with very special things
With Angel's songs with wild imaginings
She fills my soul with so much love
That any where I go I'm never lonely
With her around who could be lonely
I reach for her hand
it's always there
How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now
But this much I can say
I know I'll need her until the stars all burn away
And she'll be there
How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now
But this much I can say
I know I'll need her until the stars all burn away
Where do I begin
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start
With her first hello
She gave a meaning to this empty world of mine
There'd never be another love another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart
She fills my heart with very special things
With Angel songs, with wild imaginings
She fills my soul with so much love
That any where I go, I'm never lonely
With her along who could be lonely
I reach for her hand, it?s always there
How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I'll need her until the stars all burn away
And she'll be there
How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I'll need her until the stars all burn away
Where's this place called "Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?"
I'm looking for that lonely street
I've got a sad, sad tale to tell
I need a place to go and weep
Where's this place called "Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?"
A place where there's just loneliness
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called "Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?"
Perhaps upon that lonely street
There's someone such as I
Who came to bury broken dreams
And watch an old love di-ie
If I could find that lonely street
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called "Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?"
Where's this place called "Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?"
I tasted your sweet lips, thrilled to my fingertips
Lips of wine, warm with fire, you are my one desire
Lips of wine, and they are mine
While tropic breezes play, while palm trees gently
sway
Lips of wine, come to me, whisper low so tenderly
Lips of wine, and they are mine
LIPS OF WINE
Sweet Hawaiian miss, no more will I roam
I must have your kiss and I can't go home
You stole my heart from me, pretty rose of Waikiki
Lips of wine, sweet and rare, tell me you will always care
Lips of wine, and they are mine
(Sweet lips, sweet and tasty lips)
Sweet Hawaiian miss, no more will I roam
I must have your kiss and I can't go home
I tasted you sweet lips (sweet lips, your sweet and tasty lips)
Thrilled to my fingertips (sweet lips, your sweet and tasty lips)
Lips of wine, warm with fire, you are my one desire
Lips of wine (sweet lips) and they are mine (sweet lips of wine)
And they are mine (sweet lips of wine)
FADE
You know the feeling of something half remembered
Of something that never happened, yet you recall it well.
You know the feeling of recognizing someone
That you've never met as far as you could tell, well.
Laura is the face in the misty light,
Footsteps that you hear down the hall.
The laugh that floats on a summer night
That you can never quite recall.
And you see Laura on the train that is passing thru.
Those eyes, how familiar they seem.
She gave your very first kiss to you.
When I was a young man I'd never been kissed;
I got to thinking about what I had missed.
I found a girl. I kissed her and then...
Oh Lord, I kissed her again.
Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.
Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.
He asked me to marry and be his sweet wife;
We would be happy - all of our life.
He begged and he pleaded like a natural man, and then...
Oh Lord, I gave him my hand.
Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine. Oooooh, kisses...
I worked mighty hard and so did my wife;
Working hand in hand to make a good life.
Corn in the field and wheat in the bins, and then...
Oh Lord, I was the father of twins.
Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine. Oooooh, kisses...
Our children numbered just about four
And they all had sweethearts knocking on the door.
They all got married and they didn't wait, I was...
Oh Lord! A grandmother of eight!
Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine. Oooooh, kisses...
Now we are old and ready to go
Thinking about what happened a long time ago.
We had lots of kids and trouble and pain, but...
Oh Lord, we'd do it again.
Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine. Oooooh, kisses...
I heard she sang a good song
I heard she had a style
And so I came to see
To listen for a while
And there she was this young Girl
A stranger to my eyes
Struming my pain with her fingers
Singing my life with her words
Killing me softy with her song
Killing me softly with her song
Telling my whole life with her words
killing me softly with her song
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt she found my letters
And read eachone out loud
I prayed that she would finish
But she just kept right on
Struming my pain with her fingers
Singing my life with her words
Killing me softy with her song
Killing me softly with her song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with her song
She sang as if she knew me
In all my darkness fair
And then she looked right through me
As if i wasn't there
And he kept on singing
Singing clear and strong
Struming my pain with her fingers
Singing my life with her words
Killing me softy with her song
Killing me softly with her song
Telling my whole life with her words
It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer"
It's the most wonderful time of the year
It's the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
It's the hap- happiest season of all
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's the most wonderful time
Yes, It's the most wonderful time
Oh, It's the most wonderful time
It had to be you
It had to be you
I wandered around and finally found
The somebody who
Could make me be true
Could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad
Thinking of you
Some others I've seen
Might never be mean
Might never be cross
Or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you
Why do I do just as you say
Why must I just give you your way
Why do I sigh, why don't I try to forget
It must have that something lovers call fate
Camptown saying I have to wait
I saw them all, just couldn't fall 'til we met
Yes it had to be you
Always had to be you
'round and 'round, but I found
The somebody who
Could make me be true
Could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad
Thinking of you
Some others I've seen.
Might never be mean
Might never be cross
Or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you
My loving baby, it had to be you
You and I must make a pact
We must bring salvation back,
Where there is love, I'll be there. (I'll be there)
I'll reach out my hand to you
I'll have faith in all you do.
Just call my name and I'll be there. (I'll be there)
I'll be there to comfort you,
Build my world of dreams around you,
I'm so glad that I found you.
I'll be there with a love that's strong,
I'll be your strength,
I'll keep holdin' on. (holdin' on)
Yes I will
Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter,
Togetherness, girl, is all I'm after,
Whenever you need me, I'll be there. (I'll be there)
I'll be there to protect you, (yeah baby)
With unselfish love that respects you.
Just call my name, I'll be there. (I'll be there)
I'll be there to comfort you,
Build my world of dreams around you,
I'm so glad that I found you.
I'll be there with a love that's strong,
I'll be your strength,
I'll keep holdin' on.
Oh oh oh
Yes I will (holdin' on, holdin' on)
Yes I will
If you should ever find someone new
I know he better be good to you
Cause if he doesn't
Ill be there (ill be there)
Don't you know baby I'll be there
I'll be there I'll be there
Just call my name, I'll be there (I'll be there)
Just look over your shoulders honey! Oh!
I'll be there, I'll be there,
Whenever you need me, ill be there (I'll be there)
Don't you know baby,
I'll be there, I'll be there
Just call my name, I'll be there (I'll be there)
I was sleeping and right in the middle of a good dream
Like all at once I wake up from something that keeps knocking at my brain
Before I go insane I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed screaming out the words I dread
I think I love you (I think I love you)
This morning I woke up with this feeling
I didn't know how to deal with and so I just decided to myself
I'd hide it to myself and never talk about it
And did not go and shout it when you walked into the room
I think I love you (I think I love you)
I think I love you so what am I so afraid of
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for
I think I love you isn't that what life is made of
Though it worries me to say that I never felt this way
I don't know what I'm up against
I don't know what it's all about
I got so much to think about
Hey, I think I love you so what am I so afraid of
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for
I think I love you isn't that what life is made of
Though it worries me to say I never felt this way
Believe me you really don't have to worry
I only wanna make you happy and if you say "hey go away" I will
But I think better still I'd better stay around and love you
Do you think I have a case let me ask you to your face
Do you think you love me?
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
Honey babe, ooo, honey babe
Mmm, honey babe, I like your kind of love
That's good, baby, that's good
Honey babe, I like the way that you walk by
I like the way you swing your eye
I like your kind of love
That's good, baby, that's good
Every night, I like the way you beg for more
And linger there outside the door
I like your kind of love
That's good, baby, that's good
Well, well, well, ain't it swell?
Can't reveal how I feel
And no one else could ever thrill me like you do
You make my every dream come true
I like your kind of love
That's good, baby, that's good
Oh, honey babe, ooo, honey babe
Mmm, honey babe, I like your kind of love

Honey babe, I like the way you wear your clothes
My love for you just grows and grows

Honey, you know I do
When you're near you don't know what you do to me
And that's the way it oughta be
I like your kind of love
Honey, you know I do
Don't you know that I love you so?

I could have danced all night
I could have danced all night
And still have begged for more
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things
I'd never done before
I'll never know what made it so exciting
When all at once my heart took flight
I only know when she began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced..all night
I could have danced all night...
I'll never know what made it so exciting
When all at once my heart took flight
I only know when she began to dance with me
No one in the world
Ever had a love as sweet as my love
For nowhere in the world
Could there be a boy as true as you love
All my love
I give gladly to you
All your love
You give gladly to me
Tell me why then
Oh, why should it be that
We go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why
Closer than the leaves
On a weepin' willow, baby, we are
Closer dear are we
Than the simple letters A and B are
All my life
I could love only you
All your life
You could love only me
Tell me why then
Oh, why should it be that
We go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why
Can't we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry
Breaking each other's heart
The Christmas tree is decorated, all the shopping's done
Stockings line the fireplace one by one
All the presents look so pretty, tied with brightly colored bows
All these things help make this season still everybody knows
Christmas needs love to be Christmas
Christmas needs hearts for a joy
Carolers singing, silver bells ringing and laughter for each girl and boy
Christmas needs love to be Christmas
It's all that we all need more of year in, year out, I'm left with no doubt
The greatest of all gifts is love
Christmas needs love to be Christmas
Christmas needs hearts for a joy
Carolers singing, silver bells ringing and laughter for each girl and boy
Christmas needs love to be Christmas
It's all that we all need more of year in, year out, I'm left with no doubt
Number fifty-four,

The harbor lights were shining, the moon was at its high.
The captain said, "Thank God we're home, we've drunk the barrels dry"
The mizzen mast was shaken and the lanterns all burned low
I'd never thought we'd make it but we've twenty leagues to go
So blow you southern trades and guide me safely to the shore
I'll never ever gonna sail the seven seas no more
I don't want to miss the sand in my hair
The roll of the tide and the salt in the air
Deep inside it's true I'm a home lovin' man comin' on home to you
I don't want to miss the wind in my eyes
The shimmerin' light when the seagull flies
Lo, I've traveled far I'm a home loving man home is where you are
The crowd upon the quayside their faces long and drawn
Are suddenly awakened as we sail in on the dawn
The wives, the sons, the lovers, who never gave up hope
All breathe a sigh together as they reach to catch the rope
God bless you, southern trades, you got me safely back this time
Oh, you'll never have the need again to save this soul of mine
I don't want to miss the sand in my hair
The roll of the tide and the salt in the air
Deep inside it's true I'm a home lovin' man comin' on home to you
I don't want to miss the wind in my eyes
The shimmerin' light when the seagull flies
Lo, I've traveled far I'm a home loving man home is where you are
Yes, I don't want to miss the sand in my hair
The roll of the tides and the salt in the air
Deep inside it's true I'm a home lovin' man comin' on home to you
I don't want to miss the wind in my eyes
Golden sun is rising in the sky
Emerald birds glide through a rainbow as they fly
Bringing beauty Holly enters my mind.
Where the crystal ocean finds the shore
Diamond waves reflect the love we shared before
Through the silence Holly enters my mind.
All alone as I walk by the sea
Thoughts of Holly are my company
For she calls to me with each shining ray
With each season's change
With the sun and the sea and the sky she remains.
Though the world must take her far away
On a velvet wind she comes to me each day
When I'm lonely Holly enters my mind
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on, our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
So hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on, our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
So hang a shining star upon the highest bough
There's a certain sound always follows me around
When you're close to me you will hear it
It's the sound that lovers hear when they discover
There could be no other for their love
It's my happy heart you hear
Singing loud and singing clear
And it's all because you're near me, my love
Take my happy heart away
Let me love you night and day
In your arms I wanna stay, oh my love
Feeling more and more like I've never felt before
You have changed my life so completely
Music fills my soul now, I've lost all control now
I'm not half, I'm whole now with your love
It's my happy heart you hear
Singing loud and singing clear
And it's all because you're near me, my love
Take my happy heart away
Let me love you night and day
In your arms I wanna stay, oh my love
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la
I keep your picture on my dresser
I keep your pillow on the bed
I keep believin' you still love me
I keep sayin' you'll come back again.
I keep a light on in the window
I keep it burnin' day and night
I keep sayin' didn't mean it
When you said goodbye.
Oh, I keep puttin' off gettin' over you
'Cause that would be to hard to ever do
I just can't believe you and I are through
So I keep puttin' off gettin' over you.
--- Instrumental ---
I know you told me to forget you
Said go and find me someone else
But I keep sayin' youre going to come back
So I keep livin' all by myself.
Oh, I keep puttin' off gettin' over you
'Cause that would be to hard to ever do
I just can't believe you and I are through
So I keep puttin' off gettin' over you.
Oh, I keep puttin' off gettin' over you
'Cause that would be to hard to ever do
I just can't believe you and I are through
Good bye, old friend,
This is the end of the man(girl) I used to be,
'cause there's been a strange and welcome change in me.
For once in my life I have someone who needs me,
Someone I've needed so long,
For once, unafraid I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong.
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of long before I knew
Someone warm like you would make my dream come true.
For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me,
Not like it's hurt me before,
For once I have something I know won't desert me,
I'm not alone anymore.
For once I can say this is mine, you can't take it,
Long as I know I have love, I can make it,
For once in my life I have someone who needs me.

Long as I know I have love, I can make it,
Fly by night (fly by night)
Please pity me (fly by night)
I fall in love so easily
Oh, fly by night (fly by night)
Don't fly away (from me)
Take my heart (fly by night)
It's yours alone (fly by night)
Forever more to have and own
Oh, fly by night (fly by night)
Don't fly away (from me)
Be my angel true
Not my butterfly
For though they both have wings
Angels don't say goodbye
In my arms (fly by night)
There's love for you (fly by night)
So, please say you love me true
Oh, fly by night (fly by night)
Don't fly away (fly ny night)
Oh, fly by night (fly by night)
Don't fly away (fly ny night)
Emily, Emily, Emily
Has the murmuring sound of may
All silver bells, coral shells, carousels
And the laughter of children at play
Say Emily, Emily, Emily
And we fade to a marvelous view
Two lovers alone and out of sight
Seeing images in the firelight
As my eyes visualize a family
They see Emily, Emily
(and we fade to a marvelous view)
Two lovers alone and out of sight
Seeing images in the firelight
As my eyes visualize a family
They see Emily, Emily
I'm in dreamsville, holding you
I'm dreaming you, just we two alone
In love in dreamsville, time is new
We're here to love and we do
We can see the rest of the world
Below us from our pink cloud
There's no boundary to this magic light
As we go exploring hand in hand
In dreamy dreamsville
Far away and here we love
Domino, domino, you're an angel that heaven has sent me,
Domino, domino, you're a devil designed to torment me,
When your heart must know that i love you so,
Tell me why, tell me why, why do you make me cry, domino,
One look in your eyes and i melt with desire,
A touch of your hands and i burst into fire,
And my whole world fills with music when i'm lost in your embrace,
But i know that you're fickle and i'm not misled,
Each attractive new face that you see turns your head,
And it scares me that tomorrow, someone else may take my place,
Domino, domino, won't you tell me you'll never desert me?
Domino, domino, if you stay i don't care how you hurt me,
Fate has made you so, you can't change, i know,
You can't change, though you try, but then neither can i, domino,
Domino, domino, i'll forgive anything that you do,
Where do I begin?
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start?
With her first hello
She gave a meaning to this empty world of mine
There'd never be another love, another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart
She fills my heart with very special things
With angels' songs, with wild imaginings
She fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go I'm never lonely
With her around, who could be lonely?
I reach for her hand
It's always there
How long does it last?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now, but this much I can say
I know I'll need her 'til the stars all burn away
And she'll be there
How long does it last?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now, but this much I can say
Said the nightwind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see
Way up in the sky little lamb
Do you see what I see
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear
A song, a song, high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know
In your palace oh mighty king
Do you know what I know
A child, a child, shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace people everywhere
Listen to what I say
A child, a child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light
Do you hear what I hear
A child, a child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light
Listen
Do you hear what I hear
Do you hear what I hear

You're just too good to be true
Can' t take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God, I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
I love you baby and if it's quite alright
I need you baby to warm the lonely night
I love you baby, trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby, now that I've found you stay
And let me love you baby, let me love you
You're just too good to be true
Can' t take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God, I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
I love you baby and if it's quite alright
I need you baby to warm the lonely night
I love you baby, trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby, now that I've found you stay
Oh pretty baby, trust in me when I say
Guess there's no use in hangin' 'round
Guess I'll get dressed and do the town
I'll find some crowded avenue
Though it will be empty without you
Can't get used to losin' you, no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life through, loving you
Called up some girl I used to know
After I heard her say, "Hello"
Couldn't think of anything to say
Since you're gone it happens every day
Can't get used to losin' you, no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life through, loving you
I'll find somebody, wait and see
Who am I kiddin', only me
'Cause no one else could take your place
Guess that I am just a hopeless case
Can't get used to losin' you, no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life through, loving you
I can't get used to losin' you, no matter what I try to do
You tell me you love me, you say you'll be true
Then you fly around with somebody new
But I'm crazy about you, you butterfly
You treat me mean, you're makin' me cry
I've made up my mind to tell you goodbye
But I'm no good without you, you butterfly
I knew from the first time I kissed you
That you were the troublin' kind
'cause the honey drips from your sweet lips
One taste and I'm outta my mind
I love you so much I know what I'll do
I'm clippin' your wings, your flyin' is through
'cause I'm crazy about you, you butterfly
Ooh, I'm crazy about you, you butterfly
Ooh, I can't live without you, you butterfly
I knew from the first time I kissed you
That you were the troublin' kind
'cause the honey that drips from your sweet lips
One taste and I'm outta my mind
Ooh, I love you so much I know what I'll do
I'm clippin' your wings, your flyin' is through
'cause I'm crazy about you, you butterfly
You butterfly
You butterfly
When they begin the beguine,
It brings back the sound of music so tender,
It brings back a night of tropical splendor,
It brings back a memory ever green.
I'm with you once more under the stars,
And down by the shore, an orchestra's playing;
And even the palms seem to be swaying
When they begin the beguine.
To live it again is past all endeavor
Except when that tune clutches my heart,
And there we are, swearing to love forever,
And promising never, never to part.
What moments divine, what rapture serene,
Til clouds came along to disperse the joy we had tasted;
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted,
I know but too well what they mean.
So don't let them begin the beguine,
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember;
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
When they begin the beguine.
Oh, yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play,
Til the stars that were there before return above you,
Til you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you."
And we suddenly know what heaven we're in
When they begin the beguine,
When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
The Age of Aquarius
Aquarius! Aquarius!
Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or decisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius! Aquarius!
When the moon is in the Seventh House

April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom
Holiday tables under the trees
April in Paris, this is a feeling
That no one can ever reprise
I never knew the charm of spring
Never met it face to face
I never knew my heart could sing
Never missed a warm embrace
Till April in Paris
Whom can I run to
What have you done to my heart
April in Paris, this is a feeling
That no one can ever reprise
I never knew the charm of spring
Never met it face to face
I never knew my heart could sing
Never missed a warm embrace
April in Paris
Whom can I run to
Time
Won't ease my memory
It's killing me now
And Lord how I need him here
Just to feel him near
And hear him breathing
Still
The night goes on and on
Another lonely song I'm singing
Lord don't think bad of me
Don't get mad at me you know I'm weak
And it couldn't cause a whole lot of harm
To be in somebody's arms
Cause she's in his
I know she is
I know she is
But God I love him
And though
I shouldn't give a damn
That's the way I am now
And Lord
Guess I'll stay this way
I can't play this way
Just because I'm lonely
Still
The night goes on and on
Another lonely song I'm singing
Lord don't look down on me
Don't frown on me
Let's just keep talking
Ain't it true
No matter what you do
Someday when life is through
They're gonna bury you
Beneath the cold, cold ground, girl
Big or small
Or short or fat or tall
It's gonna get us all
Someday we're gonna fall
Beneath the cold, cold ground, girl
So you best believe it
No matter what you do
Yes, you best believe it
Ain't it true, ain't it true
Ain't it true
My poor heart
Was almost torn apart
Because you played a part
You thought that you were smart
And now you're gone
Gone, gone, girl
All your life
You treated me so bad
You took the love I had
And left me feeling sad
But I'll go on, on, on, girl
Cause I know that someday
Your time will be due
Yes, you'd best believe it
Ain't it true, ain't it true
Ain't it true
I don't want to be the one
To see you in such misery
Not even for the things
You went and done, done, done, girl
There is time for
You to change your mind
And leave your cheating heart behind
And turn the righteous kind
Come back to me, girl
And I will forgive you
Here's what I'll say
On that final day
They lay you away
There was never another like you
Ain't it true, girl
Ain't it true, girl
And I will forgive you
Here's what I'll say
On that final day
They lay you away
There was never another like you
Ain't it true, girl
