I want to give
I want to give my love to you completely....
I beg of you,
I beg of you to listen to my heart.
I've never prayed like this before
and I'm askin' you not to close the door.
For I contain the wind that smoothed the waters
if you just let me x2.
I wanna' give,
I wanna give you all the strengths within me.
To make a world,
to make a world that cannot fall apart.
And you can sit upon a throne,
oh, I'll give it all, just for you alone.
For I contain the wind that smoothed the waters
if you just let me x2.
( Watermelon Summer )
( You made it that way,
your sweet love made it that way, yeah, yeah!
You made it that way, your sweet love made it that way! )
It was a watermelon summer,
A hummin' bird hummer,
Every day was a slumber in the shade,
It was a tale-tellin' whopper,
Banana-split topper,
A tall, cool, glass of lemonade!
You made it that way,
your sweet love made it that way,
Yeah, yeah! You made it that way,
your sweet love made it that way!
It was a lotta water splashin'
A fall down kinda laughin'
Good old times were hashin' afternoon
It was a backyard barbecuin'
Hammock swinging wooing,
'Neath the summer's watermelon moon!
You made it that way,
your sweet love made it that way,
Yeah, yeah! You made it that way,
your sweet love made it that way!
( Yeah ! )
It was a melody of crickets,
Singin' in a picket,
It was a game of hide an' seek to kick the can,
It was ally oxen free every time for you and me,
'Cause hiding was the best part of the game!
You made it that way,
your sweet love made it that way,
Yeah, yeah! You made it that way,
your sweet love made it that way!
Yeah, yeah! You made it that way,
your sweet love made it that way!
Yeah, yeah! You made it that way,
your sweet love made it that way . . . ( fade out )
Sing to me, Mr. C., sing to me
the song that I've been waiting to hear,
just for me, Mr. C., just for me,
and everybody else will disappear . . .
You alone, you alone,
are the dream I have known,
bringing love to my lonely heart!
Now there's heaven in view,
Now the dream has come true,
For tonight I have you alone!
Now that your eyes have told me,
You are my love my own,
Come to my arms and hold me,
I live for you alone!
Solo tu, solo tu . . .
[ Italian ]
Now there's heaven in view,
Now the dream has come true,
For tonight I have you alone!
I'm gonna sit right down
an' write myself a letter
and make believe it came from you!
I'm gonna write words so sweet
they're gonna knock me off my feet
a lot of kisses on the bottom
I'll be glad I got them
I'm gonna smile and say "I hope you're feelin' better"
and close with love the way you do
I'm gonna sit right down an' write myself a letter
and make believe it came from you!
< instrumental break >
I'm gonna sit right down
an' write myself a letter
and make believe it came
. . . from you!
There could never be a portrait of my love
for nobody could paint a dream!
You will never see a portrait of my love
for miracles are never seen!
Anyone who sees her,
soon forgets the Mona Lisa!
It would take I know, a Michael Angelo,
and he would need the glow of dawn
that paints the sky above
to try an' paint a portrait of my love!
< instrumental break >
. . . yes, he would need the glow of dawn
that paints the sky above
to try an' paint a portrait of my love!
(the green grove is gone from the hill, maggie,
Where first the daisies sprung! )
I wandered today to the hill, maggie,
To watch the scene below,
The creek and the creakin’ old mill, maggie,
As we used to do long ago!
The green grove is gone from the hill, maggie,
Where first the daisies sprung . . .
The creakin’ old mill is still, maggie,
Since you and I were young!
The green grove is gone from the hill, maggie,
Where first the daisies sprung,
The creakin’ old mill is still, maggie,
Since you and I were young,
Since you and I were young,
Since you and I were young!
See them tumbling down,
Pledging their love to the ground!
Lonely, but free, I'll be found,
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds . . .
Cares of the past are behind,
Nowhere to go, but I'll find,
Just where the trail will wind,
Drifting along with the tumblin' tumbleweeds . . .
I know when night is gone,
That a new world's born at dawn!
I'll keep rolling along,
Deep in my heart as a song,
Here on the range I belong,
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds . . .
( Tumbleweeds, tumbleweeds!
See them tumbling down,
Pledging their love to the ground! )
Lonely, but free, I'll be found,
Drifting along with the tumblin' tumbleweeds . . .
I know ( I Know! ) when night is gone ( hmmm . . . )
That a new world's born at dawn!
I'll keep rolling along,
Deep in my heart as a song,
Here on the range I belong,
( Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds . . . )
Drifting along with the tumblin' tumbleweeds . . .
( Tumbleweeds, tumbleweeds . . . )
Tumble . . . weeds . . .
Hey! . . . did you happen to see
the most beautiful girl in the world?
And if you did, was she crying, crying?
Hey! . . . if you happened to see
the most beautiful girl who walked out on me?
Tell her I'm sorry, tell her I need baby
Oh, won't you tell her that I love her?
I woke up this morning
realised what I had done
I stood alone in the cold gray dawn
knew I lost my mornin' sun
I lost my head an' I said some things
now come the heartaches the morning brings
I know I'm wrong but I couldn't see
I let my world slip away from me!
Hey! . . . did you happen to see
the most beautiful girl in the world?
And if you did, was she crying, crying?
Hey! . . . if you happened to see
the most beautiful girl who walked out on me?
Tell her I'm sorry, tell her I need baby
Oh, won't you tell her that I love her?
Hey! . . . if you happened to see
the most beautiful girl who walked out on me?
Tell her I'm sorry, tell her I need baby
Oh, won't you tell her that I love her . . . to fade
And I never thought I'd feel this way,
And as far as I'm concerned,
I'm glad I got a chance to say,
That I do believe I love you!
And if I should ever go away,
Well then close your eyes and try,
to feel the way we do today!
And then if you can remember . . .
Keep smiling!
Keep shining!
Knowing you can always count on me,
For sure!
And that's what friends are for!
For good times!
And bad times!
I'll be on your side forever more!
That's what friends are for!
And so, by the way, I thank you and then,
For the times when we're apart,
Well then close your eyes and know,
These words are comin' from my heart!
And then if you can remember . . .
Keep smiling!
Keep shining!
Knowing you can always count on me,
For sure!
And that's what friends are for!
In good times!
And bad times!
I'll be on your side forever more!
That's what friends are for!
I'm gonna buy you a big hat with feathers an' plumes
I'm gonna buy you a mansion with sixty thousand rooms
An' that ain't all . . . no that ain't all!
I'm gonna buy you powder, I'm gonna buy you paint
Gonna fix you up an' make you look like somethin' you ain't
An' that ain't all . . . no that ain't all!
I'm gonna buy you a fur piece, I'm gonna buy you gloves
I'll buy you anything if you will give me all of your love
An' that ain't all ( That ain't all! ) no that ain't all ( That ain't all! )
I'm gonna buy you a Rolls Royce, get you a chauffeur too
But the chauffeur's gonna be a woman just like you
An' that ain't all ( That ain't all! ) no that ain't all ( That ain't all! )
I'm gonna buy you dresses, 'till your wardrobe falls
You're gonna die of old age before you wear them all
An' that ain't all ( That ain't all! ) that ain't all ( That ain't all! )
If we're both a livin' in nineteen ninety-five
they will have a pill by then to keep us both alive
An' that ain't all ( That ain't all! ) that ain't all ( That ain't all! )
All these things I'll buy you, if you'll just wait for me
'cause I'll be out of prison in nineteen eighty-three
An' that is all ( And that is all! ) that is all ( And that is all! )
That is all ( And that is all! ) that is all!
IT'S THE TALK OF THE TOWN
WRITERS JERRY LIVINGSTON, MARTY SYMES,AL J. NEIBURG
I can't show my face can't go anyplace people stop and stare it's so hard to bear
Everybody knows you left me it's the talk of the town
Everytime we meet my heart skips a beat we don't stop to speak know it's just a week
Everybody knows you left me uhm it's the talk of the town
We send our invitations to friends and relations advancing our wedding day
Friends and our relations gave congratulations how can you face that what can you say
Let's make up sweetheart we can't stay apart
Don't let foolish pride keep you from my side
How can love like ours be ended it's the talk of the town
We send our invitations to friends and relations advancing our wedding day
Friends and our relations gave congratulations how can you face that what can you say
Let's make up sweetheart we can't stay apart
Don't let foolish pride keep you from my side
How can love like ours be ended it's the talk of the town
I hate to see, that evenin' sun go down!
I hate to see, that evenin' sun go down!
'Cause my baby, gone and left this town!
Feelin' tomorrow, just like I feel today,
If I'm feelin' tomorrow, just like I feel today,
I'll pack my trunk, and make my get-away!
I went to the Gypsy, to get my fortune told,
Yes, I went to the Gypsy, to get my fortune told,
I asked the Gypsy, "What does the future hold?"
Gypsy told me, "Don't you wear no black!"
Hmmm! The Gypsy told me, "Don't you wear no black!" ( No black! )
"Go to St. Louis, and you can win her back!"
St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings,
Pulls this man around by her apron strings,
If it wasn't for powder and for store-bought hair,
That gal I love wouldn't h've gone nowhere, nowhere!
I got the St. Louis Blues, just as blue as I can be,
'Cause that gal's got a heart, like a rock cast in the sea,
Or else she wouldn't have gone so far from me!
I love that gal like a school boy loves his pie,
Like a Kentucky Colonel loves his mint an' his rye,
I love that gal, yes I love that gal,
Yes, I love that gal . . .
Until . . . the day . . . I die!
Sing along with me,
Sing a happy song!
I would guarantee.
That you can't go wrong!
You will be surprised,
At the way you'll feel,
All your cares and woes will be a hazy memory!
If you'll just agree,
Sing along with me!
Don't be too quick,
To say you can't sing a lick,
There's a trick to it all!
Make believe that you're takin' a shower,
And sing it out loud,
Sing to the crowd,
You'll be feelin' ten feet tall!
Sing along with me ( Sing along with me )
Sing a happy tune ( Sing a happy tune )
Let the butterfly ( Let the butterfly )
Out of your cocoon! ( Out of your cocoon )
You can finally be ( You can finally be )
Who you wanta be ( Who you wanta be )
What you got to lose?
Forget your blues,
Now you're breakin' free ( Now you're breakin' free )
Here's the recipe! ( Here's the recipe )
Just sing along with me! ( La la, la la la . . . )
My one and only heart,
My one and only heart,
You’ll never more be lonely,
My one and only heart!
I had five dollars from last week’s pay,
Some picture postcards from santa fe,
I saved all that but I gave away,
My one and only heart!
I met this angel in joe’s café,
The livin’ image of salla mae,
In no time even, I gave away,
My one and only heart!
My one and only heart,
My one and only heart,
You’ll never more be lonely,
My one and only heart!
I’ve got one lighter that’s off the beam,
A pawn shop ticket I can’t redeem,
I saved all that but I gave a dream,
My one and only heart!
My poor knees trembled,
My whole frame shook,
She had me flippin’ with just one look,
In one split second she went an’ took,
My one and only heart!
I’ve got two papers with last week’s news,
Some extra laces for last year’s shoes,
I saved all that but I had to lose,
My one and only heart!
Well I’m real grateful to joe’s café,
A blue-eyed plateful is sure ok,
And I’m not sorry I gave away,
My one and only heart!
You’ll never more be lonely,
My one and only, never lonely,
My one and only heart!
Sing to me, Mr. C., sing to me
the song that I've been waiting to hear,
just for me, Mr. C., just for me,
and everybody else will disappear . . .
Say it isn't so, say it isn't so
everyone is sayin' you don't love me
say it isn't so!
Everywhere I go
everyone I know
whispers that you're growin' 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 OK
that's all I want to know
and what they're sayin'
say it isn't so!
< instrumental break >
. . . and it won't be long before you leave me
say it isn't true!
Say that everything is still OK
that's all I want to know
and what they're sayin'

Blue skies, smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see
Blue birds singin' a song
Nothin' but blue birds all day long!
Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never say things goin' so right
Noticin' the days hurryin' by
When you're in love, my, my how they fly!
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on!

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never say things goin' so right
Noticin' the days hurryin' by
When you're in love, my, my how they fly!
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on!
Maybe I should have saved
those left-over dreams
funny, but here's that rainy day!
Here's that rainy day
they told me about
and I laughed at the thought
that it might turn out this way!
Where is that worn-out wish
that I threw aside,
after it brought my lover near?
Funny how love becomes
a cold rainy day
funny, that rainy day is here!
< instrumental break >
Funny how love becomes
a cold rainy day
funny . . .

You better watch out, better not cry
better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town!
He's makin' a list an' checkin' it twice
gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town!
He sees you when you're sleepin'
he knows when you're awake
he knows if you've been bad or good
so be good for goodness sake!
So, you better watch out, you better not cry
better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town!
Say Perry,
somebody's ringin' the front doorbell,
shall I answer it?
Oh tell em to go away Helen
we've got to decorate this Christmas tree!
Where do I connect the lights Perry?
Artie, all you have to do is put the thing in a plug!
Say Perry, I can't find a train switch,
know where it is?
Bobby, the train switch is always
where it's always been!
Hey Perry, what do ya want for Christmas?
Now wait a minute, where are you going?
Oh I'm going out to give a few haircuts,
you kids go ahead and sing
I'll be right back!
You better watch out, better not cry
better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Oh! Santa Claus is comin' to town!
He's makin' a list an' checkin' it twice
gonna find out who's naughty an' nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town!
He sees you when you're sleepin'
he knows when you're awake
he knows if you've been bad or good
so be good for goodness sake!
So, you better watch out, you better not cry
better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town!
Santa Claus is comin'
to town!
I wish that I could take back
all of the things that I've done to hurt you!
I didn't mean to be so cruel!
And yet I know that I've been selfish
and, at times, a just fool!
And every thoughtless thing I've done
keeps comin' back to haunt me
because you took each one to heart!
And as I realize it's my fault
we've grown worlds apart . . .
I have regrets, regrets,
for my mistakes an' thinking only of my self
and all that I have left are these regrets, regrets,
for the things I did that somehow you just can't forgive
I guess I'll always have to live with these regrets
If I could right the wrong I've done
maybe I could stop your leavin'
but there's so much I'm guilty of
and it's too late to say I'm sorry
'cause bein' sorry is not enough!
'Cause with each angry word that I've said
your love for me was dyin',
each word left a lasting scar
and right now I feel so helpless,
wishin' I could change the way things are . . .
I have regrets, regrets,
for my mistakes an' thinking only of my self
and all that I have left are these regrets, regrets,
for the things I did that somehow you just can't forgive
I guess I'll always have to live with these regrets . . .
Life is never what it seems,
we're always searching in our dreams,
to find those little castles in the air!
When worry starts to cloud the mind,
it's hard to leave it all behind,
an' just pretend you haven't got a care!
There's someone else in your imagination,
you wished that you were standin' in their shoes
you'd change your life without much hesitation
but would you if you really had to choose?
So, don't look around,
get your feet on the ground,
it's much better by far
to be just who you are!
The other man's grass is always greener,
the sun shines brighter on the other side!
The other man's grass is always greener,
some are lucky, some are not,
just be thankful for what you've got!
< instrumental break >
Many times it seems to me,
there's someone else I'd rather be,
living in a world of make-believe!
To stay in bed 'till nearly three
with nothing there to worry me
would seem to be the life I might achieve!
But, deep inside I know I'm really lucky,
happiness I've never known before,
just as long as you are there beside me
I know that I could ask for nothin' more!
And living can start,
with the love in your heart!
So, with you all the time,
all the chances I've longed for are mine!
The other man's grass is always greener,
the sun shines brighter on the other side!
The other man's grass is always greener,
some are lucky, some are not,
I'm so thankful for what I've got!
< repeat chorus two more times to fade >
I remember to this day,
the bright red Georgia clay,
how it stuck to the tires after the summer rain . . .
Will-power made that ol' car go,
a woman's mind told me that it's so,
Oh! how I wish we were back on the road again . . .
Me an' you an' a dog named Boo,
travelin' and livin' off the land . . .
Me an' you an' a dog named Boo,
How I loved bein' a free man . . .
I can still recall,
the wheat fields of St. Paul,
and the mornin' we got caught robbin' from an old hen . . .
Old MacDonald, he made us work,
but then he paid us for what it was worth,
another tank of gas an' back on the road again . . .
Well, I'll never forget that day,
we motored stately into Big L.A.
the lights of the city put settling-down in my brain . . .
Though it's only a month or so,
that ol' car is a buggin' us to go,
you gotta get away,
get back on the road again . . .
Come to me my melancholy baby,
Cuddle up and don't be blue . . .
All your fears are foolish fancy, maybe
You know dear that I'm in love with you!
Every cloud must have a silver lining
Wait until the sun shines through
Smile my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too!
Every cloud must have a silver lining
Wait until the sun shines through
Smile my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too!
May the good lord bless an’ keep you,
Whether near or far away.
May you find that long awaited,
Golden day today . . .
May your troubles all be small ones,
And your fortune ten times ten,
May the good lord bless and keep you,
¡®til we meet again . . .
May you walk with the sunlight shining,
An’ a blue bird in every tree.
May there be silver lining,
Back of every cloud you see . . .
Fill your dreams with sweet tomorrows,
Never mind what might have been.
May the good lord bless an’ keep you,
¡®till we meet again . . .
May the good lord bless an’ keep you,
"till we meet again . .
Raindrops on roses,
And whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles,
And warm woollen mittens,
Brown paper packages,
Tied up with strings,
These are a few of my favorite things . . .
Cream colored ponies,
An' crisp apple strudels,
Doorbells an' sleigh bells,
An' 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,
Snow flakes 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 feelin' sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad . . .
Roses....hmmm kittens...
Kettles.......mittens....
La dee da, la dee da,
La dee da, da,
These are a few of my favorite things . . .
When the dog bites,
When the bee stings,
When I'm feelin' sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And little by little my heavy heart sings . . .
And then I don't feel so bad . . .
Sky, so vast as the sky
with far away clouds just wandering by . . .
Where did they go?
Oh I don't know, don't know . . .
Wind, that speaks to the leaves
telling stories that no one believes . . .
Stories of love
belong to you and me . . .
Oh Dindi . . .
If I only had words
I would say all the beautiful things that I see
when you're with me
Oh my Dindi!
Oh Dindi . . .
Like the song of the wind in the trees
that's how my heart is singing Dindi, happy Dindi,
when you're with me!
I love you more each day,
yes I do, yes I do . . .
I'd let you go away
If you take me with you!
Don't you know Dindi . . .
I'd be running an' searching for you,
like a river, that can't find the sea,
that would be me, without you my Dindi!
Don't you know Dindi . . .
I'd be running an' searching for you,
like a river, that can't find the sea,
that would be me, without you my Dindi!
This ain't for the quarterback
who lives upstairs in our house
an' this ain't for the princess
who's sleepin' down the hall!
This ain't for the other one
who looks just like her mamma
an' this ain't for the baby
who's the cutest one of all!
Jason, this is my love for you,
written down a thousand times
Jason, like the teacher makes you do
when you're bad and outta line . . .
I'm so glad you're mine!
It hurts me when they tease you
'cause you're mind's a little slower
I'd like to take the sadness
an' turn em into joy!
I watch you so hard to do
what usually comes easy
after all, to me,
you're such a special little boy!
Jason, this is my love for you,
written, written down a thousand times
Jason, like the teacher makes you do
when you're bad and outta line . . .
I'm so glad you're mine!

I got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
Got a string around my finger, what a world, what a life,
I'm in love . . .
I got a song that I sing, I can make the rain go,
Anytime I move my finger, lucky me, can't you see?
I'm in love . . .
Life is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold a string,
I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let you go . . .
I got the world on a string, sittin' on the rainbow,

an' nobody else will do!
An' when we get your front door
we're gonna love you more an' more
We wanna go home . . .
We wanna go home! Why he's my date! I saw him first! ( wild chatter! )
Now wait a minute girls, don't fight, girls, just a moment, listen to me
girls, just a moment, JUST A MOMENT! ( Perry! You stay out of this! )
Oh! Oh! I lost my head!
I guess I'll go home alone,
I'm gonna go home alone!
I gotta right to sing the blues, I gotta right to feel low-down,
I gotta right t' hang around, down around the river . . .
A certain gal in this ol' town, keeps draggin' my poor heart around,
All I see for me, is misery . . .
I gotta right to sing the blues, I gotta right to moan and sigh,
I gotta right to sit and cry, down around the river . . .
I kno' the deep blue sea, will soon be callin' me,
It must be love, say what you choose,
I gotta right to sing the blues! ( doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo )
( He's gotta right to sing the blues ) I gotta right to sing the blues!
( He's gotta right to moan and sigh ) I gotta right t' moan and sigh!
( He's gotta right to sit an' cry ) sit an' cryin' down along the river!
I kno' the deep blue sea, will soon be callin' me,
It must be love, say what you choose,
I gotta right to sing the blues . . . the blues,
I gotta right ( the right! ) tonight ( tonight! )
I gotta right to sing the blues! ( doo doo, doo doo, doo wah! )
1951 version
-------------------------------
Hello, young lovers, whoever you are,
I hope your troubles are few,
All my good wishes go with you tonight,
I've been in love like you.
Be brave, young lovers, and follow your star,
Be brave, an' faithful, an' true,
Cling very close to each other tonight,
I've been in love like you.
I know how it feels,
To have wings on your heels,
And to fly down the street in a trance!
You fly down the street,
On a chance that you'll meet,
And you meet, not really by chance.
Don't cry, young lovers, whatever you do,
Don't cry because I'm alone,
All of my memories are happy tonight,
I've had a love of my own.
I've had a love of my own like yours,
I've had a love of my own!
I've had a love of my own like yours,
I've had a love of my own!

( Listen . . . shh . . . listen! There, it's playing again . . .
Gringo's guitar playing songs of desire
are sung by the haunted wind! )
Down in Nualo, Laredo,
on the border of ol' Mexico
there's a legend they tell of a cowboy,
a tall Texas drover named "Joe"
but the braseros just call him "Gringo",
the gringo who played the guitar
to the Mexican girl that he loved so,
'neath the misty Mexico star
( Listen . . . shh . . . listen! There, it's playing again . . .
Gringo's guitar playing songs of desire
are sung by the haunted wind! )
He sang of the day when they'd marry,
when the round-up was over an' through
and great were the plans for their wedding,
and for dreams they dreamed would come true
But he never came back from the round-up,
a stampeding herd ran him down
but, sometimes, strange and beautiful music
of a guitar is heard through the town
( Listen . . . shh . . . listen! There, it's playing again . . .
Gringo's guitar playing songs of desire
are sung by the haunted wind! )
( Let's forget about domani,
Let's forget about domani,
Let's forget about domani,
For domani never comes! )
Let's for get about domani,
Let's for get about domani,
Let's for get about domani,
For domani never comes!
Tomorrow,
Forget tomorrow,
Let's live for now, and anyhow,
Who needs tomorrow?
The moonlight,
Let's share the moonlight,
Perhaps together,
We will never be again!
Oh what a moon, ( che luna )
Oh what a sea, ( che mare )
With such a moon and such a sea
And you with me . . .
I get so dizzy when you're standing near,
It's not the music that you hear,
My heart keeps beating like a jungle drum . . .
Let's take the minutes as they speed away,
And hope it's true what people say,
When you're in love, tomorrow never comes!
( Sú, dimentichiamo domani,
Sú, dimentichiamo domani,
Sú, dimentichiamo domani
perché forse non verrá )
Sú, dimentichiamo domani,
Sú, dimentichiamo domani,
Sú, dimentichiamo domani
perché forse non verrá
( Domani, forget domani
con questa luna e questo mare
e tu con me )
Let's take the minutes as they speed away,

See the clouds floating by
in the sky without notice
whispering "I know you"
and the tears in my eyes
never dried from the inside
what am I to do?
I am wanting to find a way
I am needing an answer
I am waiting to see the day
when I'm not just a fancy dancer
Is there no place I can go
is there not a friendly ear?
I am wanting to say "I love you"
wanting to say that I need you
wanting to hear that you love me too!
Every day is just like the last one
nothin's ever new
and I know today will be like tomorrow
nothin' I can do
I am wanting to find a way
I am needing an answer
I am wanting to see the day
when I'm not just a fancy dancer
Is there no place I can go
is there not a friendly ear?
I am wanting to say "I love you"
wanting to say that I need you
wanting to hear that you love me too!
I am wanting to find a way
I am needing an answer
I am wanting to see the day
when I'm not just a fancy dancer
Is there no place I can go?
Climb aboard a butterfly,
An' take off on the breeze,
Let your worries flutter by,
An' do the things you please,
In a land where dollar bills,
Are fallin' off the trees,
On a dreamer's holiday!
Every day for breakfast,
There's a dish of scrambled stars,
An' for lunchin' you'll be munchin'
Rainbow candy bars,
You'll be livin' a la mode,
On Jupiter and Mars,
On a dreamer's holiday!
Make it a long vacation,
Time, there is plenty of,
You need no reservation,
Just bring along the one you love!
Help yourself to happiness,
An' sprinkle it with mirth,
Close your eyes an' concentrate,
An' dream for all you're worth,
You will feel terrific,
When you get back down to earth,
From a dreamer's holiday!

There's a door of dreams that only lovers know
through that door of dreams, just those in love may go
every moment I love you more and more it seems
say you'll walk with me through the door of dreams!
We don't need a "lover's moon" in the sky
or the fragrance of a rose in July
or the magic of a star standing by, above you
if you'll only say "I love you!"
There's a door of dreams that only lovers know
through that door of dreams, just those in love may go
every moment I love you more and more it seems
say you'll walk with me through the door of dreams!
There's a door of dreams that only lovers know
through that door of dreams, just those in love may go
every moment I love you more and more it seems
say you'll walk with me through the door of dreams!
Come my love with me,
through the door of dreams!
Said the night wind to the little lamb
do you see what I see? ( do you see what I see? )
Way up in the sky, little lamb
do you see what I see ( 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? ( do you hear what I hear? )
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
do you hear what I hear? ( do you hear what I hear? )
A song, a song, high above the tree
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? ( do you know what I know? )
In your palace warm, mighty king
do you know what I know? ( 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 ( said the king to the people everywhere! )
listen to what I say ( listen to what I say! )
Pray for peace, people everywhere ( pray for peace, people everywhere! )
listen to what I say ( listen to what I say! )
The Child, the 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? ( do you hear what I hear? )
Do you hear what I hear? ( do you hear what I hear? )
Do you hear what I hear? ( do you hear what I hear? )
All I Do Is Dream of You
Gigi
The Way You Look Tonight
Sing to me, Mr. C., sing to me
the song that I've been waiting to hear,
just for me, Mr. C., just for me,
and everybody else will disappear . . .
All I do is dream of you the whole night through
with the dawn, I still go on, dreamin' of you!
You're every thought, you're every thing
you're every song I ever sing
summer, winter, autumn an' spring!
And were there more than twenty-four hours a day
they'd be spent in sweet content, dreamin' away!
When skies are gray, skies are blue
morning, noon an' night time too
all I do the whole day through is dream of you!
When skies are gray, skies are blue
morning, noon an' night time too
all I do the whole day through is dream of you!
Gigi . . . am I a fool without a mind
or have I merely been to blind to realize?
Oh Gigi . . . why you've been growin' up
before my very eyes!
Gigi . . . you're not at all the funny
awkward little girl I knew
Oh no, overnight there's been a breathless
change in you!
Gigi . . . why you were tremblin' on the brink
was I out yonder somewhere blinkin' at a star?
Oh Gigi . . . have I been standin' up to close
or back too far?
When did your sparkle turn to fire
and your warmth become desire?
Oh, what miracle
has made you the way you are?
Oh Gigi . . . have I been standin' up to close
or back too far?
When did your sparkle turn to fire
and your warmth become desire?
Oh, what miracle
has made you the way you are?
Someday . . . 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!
Oh . . . but 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!
Lovely . . . never, never change
keep that breathless charm
won't you please arrange it
'cause I love you
just the way you look tonight!
. . . just the way you look
tonight!
Why do birds suddenly appear,
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be, close to you . . .
Why do stars fall down from the sky,
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be, close to you . . .
On the day that you were born,
The angels got together,
An' decided to create a dream come true . . .
So they sprinkled mood dust in your hair of gold
An' starlight in your eyes of blue . . .
That is why, all the boys in town,
Follow you, all around,
Just like me, they long to be, close to you!
On the day that you were born,

Oh what did Del-a-ware boy, what did Delaware

That's what she did wear

Oh, why did Cali-fon-ia

Was she all alone
She called to say Ha-wa-ya

That's why she did call
Uno, deis, tre, quatro
Oh what did Missi sip boy

Through her pretty lips
She sipped a Minne sota

That's what she did sip
Where has Oregon boy

That's where she has gone
Well how did Wis-con-sin boy
She stole a New-brass-key
Too bad that Arkan saw boy
And so did Tenne-see
It made poor Flori-di boy
It made poor Flori-di, you see
She died in Miss-our-I boy
She died in Miss-our-I
Oh what did Del-a-ware boy, what did Delaware

I love you,
Hums an April breeze,
I love you,
Echo the hills!
I love you,
The golden dawn agrees,
As once more she sees,
Daffodils!
It's spring again,
And birds on the wing again,
Start to sing again,
The old melodies!
I love you,
That's the Song of Songs,
And it all belongs,
To you and me
I love you . . .
Hums an April breeze,

That's the Song of Songs,
And it all belongs,

And it all belongs,
To you and me!
Sleep my child and peace attend thee,
All through the night . . .
Guardian angels God will send thee,
All through the night . . .
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and vale in slumber steeping,
I my loving vigil keeping,
All through the night . . .
While the moon her watch is keeping,
All through the night . . .
While the weary world is sleeping,
All through the night . . .
O'er thy spirit gently stealing,
Visions of delight revealing,
Breathes a pure and holy feeling,
All through the night . . .
All I do is dream of you the whole night through
with the dawn, I still go on, dreamin' of you!
You're every thought, you're every thing
you're every song I ever sing
summer, winter, autumn an' spring!
And were there more than twenty-four hours a day
they'd be spent in sweet content, dreamin' away!
When skies are gray, skies are blue
morning, noon an' night time too
all I do the whole day through is dream of you!
When skies are gray, skies are blue
morning, noon an' night time too
all I do the whole day through is dream of you!
No one to talk with,
all by myself,
No one to walk with,
but I'm happy on the shelf
Ain't misbehavin' . . .
saving my love for you!
I know for certain,
the one I love,
I'm through with flirtin',
it's just you I'm thinkin' of
Ain't misbehavin' . . .
saving my love for you!
Like Jack Horner,
in the corner,
don't go nowhere,
but what do I care?
Your kisses . . .
are worth waitin' for
Believe me!
Don't stay out late,
don't care to go!
I'm home about eight,
just me an' my radio!
Ain't misbehavin' . . .
saving my love for you!
[ instrumental verse ]
Hmm, I don't stay out late,
don't care to go!
I'm home about eight,
just me an' my radio!
Ain't misbehavin' . . .
saving my love for you!
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
just like the ones I used to know
where the tree tops glisten
and children listen
to hear sleigh bells in the snow!
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
with every Christmas car I write.
May your days be merry an' bright
and may all your Christmas's be white!
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
just like the ones I used to know
where the tree tops glisten
and children listen ( 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 an' bright
and may all your Christmas's be white!
( . . . may all your Christmas's be white! )
I come to the garden alone,
While the dew is still on the roses,
And the voice I hear falling on my ear,
The Son of God discloses . . .
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other, has ever, known!
He speaks and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that he gave to me,
Within my heart is ringing . . .
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other, has ever, known!
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other, has ever, known!
I'm gonna love that girl
Like she's never been loved before,
I'm gonna show that girl
She's the fella that I adore.
When she's in my arms again,
Our dreams will all come true,
The years between might never have been,
We'll start our lives anew,
I'm gonna kiss that girl
Like she's never been kissed before,
And tho' I miss that girl,
She's the fella I'm waitin' for
We'll never part again,
She'll hold my heart again
Forever and ever more
I'm gonna love that girl
Like she's never been loved before.
Where is love?
Does it fall from skies above?
Is it underneath the willow tree that I've been dreaming of?
Where is she,
Who I close my eyes to see??
Will I ever know the sweet 'hello' that's meant for only me?
Who can say where she may hide?
Must I travel far an' wide,
till I am beside the someone who, I can mean something to?
Where, where is love?
< instrumental break >
Where is she,
Who I close my eyes to see??
Will I ever know the sweet 'hello' that's meant for only me?
Every night I kneel an' pray, let tomorrow be the day,
when I see the face of someone who, I can mean something to!
Where, where is love?
Words and Music by Lionel Bart , 1963
Turnaround, turnaround,
Turnaround and you're a young girl going out of the door!
Where are you goin' my little one, little one,
Where are you goin' my baby, my own?
Turnaround and you're two, turnaround and you're four,
Turnaround and you're a young girl going out of the door!
Turnaround, ( turnaround! )
Turnaround and you're a young girl . . .
Going out of the door!
Where are you going my little one, little one,
Little dirndls and petticoats, where have you gone?
Turnaround and you're tiny, turnaround and you're grown,
Turnaround and you're a young wife with babes of your own!
Turnaround, ( turnaround! )
Turnaround and you're a young wife . . .
With babes of your own!
With babes of your own . . . ( turnaround! )
If there is someone lovelier than you
Then I am blind, a man without a mind
If there is someone lovelier than you
But no, I'm not blind, my eyes have travelled everywhere
In hopes that I might find, a creature half so fair
If there is someone lovelier than you
By all that's beautiful, such beauty can't be true!
If there is someone lovelier than you
By all that's beautiful, such beauty can't be true!
If I loved you, time and again I would try to say
All I'd want you to know
If I loved you, words wouldn't come in an easy way
'round in circles I'd go
Longin' to tell you but afraid and shy
I'd let my golden chances pass me by
Soon you'd leave me, off you would go in the mist of day
Never, never to know
How I'd love you
If-I-loved-you
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, the very thought of you, my love!
I see your face in every flower, your eyes in stars above
it's just the thought of you, the very thought of you, my love!
It's just the thought of you,
the very thought of you,
my love!
Surrender, why don't you surrender?
How long can your lips live without a kiss?
Surrender, I beg you surrender,
How long can your heart resist?
I'll bring you a love you can cling to,
A love that won't be untrue . . .
So please be tender,
And darling surrender,
And love me as I love you.
La, la la la la . . .
Sing, sing a song,
Sing out loud, sing out strong,
Sing of the good things, not bad,
Sing of the happy, not sad . . .
Sing, sing a song,
Make it simple, to last your whole life long,
Don't worry that it's not good enough,
For anyone else to hear,
Sing, sing a song . . .
La, la la la la . . .
Sing ( sing . . ) sing a song ( sing . . )
Sing out loud, sing out strong,
Sing of good things, not bad,
Sing of happy, not sad . . .
Sing, sing a song,
Make it simple, to last your whole life long,
Don't worry that it's not good enough,
For anyone else to hear,
Sing, sing a song . . .
Sing, sing a song . . .
Sing, sing a song . . .
La, la la la la . . .
Save me the dance
where the lights go down low
save me the one they call
the dance of "love"!
When the room is dark,
every heart's aglow
save me the dance of love
an' never ever let me go!
It's our private song
and our private band
and when the dance is through
forever ever hold my hand!
Save me the dance
where the lights go down low
save me the one they call
the dance of "love"!
[ Italian lyrics ]
Sul mare luccica l'astro d'argento
placida é l'onda
prospero il vento
Sul mare luccica l'astro d'argento
placida é l'onda
prospero il vento
Venite all'argine
barchette mie
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia
Venite all'argine
barchette mie
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia
Soft winds caress the sea,
Breezes so tender,
Make every dancing wave,
Gladly surrender!
Days here are heavenly,
Nights are pure ecstasy,
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia!
Venite all'argine
barchette mie
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia
If a picture paints a thousand words,
then why can€™t I paint you?
The words would never show,
the you I€™ve come to know . . .
If a face could launch a thousand ships,
then where am I to go?
There€™s no one home but you,
you€™re all that€™s left me to . . .
And when my love for life
is running dry,
You come and pour
yourself on me . . .
If a man could be two places at one time,
I€™d be with you,
tomorrow and today,
beside you all the way . . .
If the world should stop revolving,
Spinning slowly down to die,
I€™d spend the end with you
when the world was through . . .
Then one by one
the stars would all go out . . .
Then you and I
would simply fly away!
If I loved you, time and again I would try to say
All I'd want you to know
If I loved you, words wouldn't come in an easy way
'round in circles I'd go
Longin' to tell you but afraid and shy
I'd let my golden chances pass me by
Soon you'd leave me, off you would go in the mist of day
Never, never to know
How I'd love you
If-I-loved-you
I've got you under my skin,
I've got you deep in the heart of me,
So deep in my heart . . . you're really a part of me,
I've got you under my skin!
I tried so . . . not to give in,
I said to myself . . . this affair, never will go so well!
But why should I try to resist,
When 'Darling' I know so well,
I've got you under my skin!
I'd sacrifice anything, come what might,
For the sake of having you near!
In spite of the warning voice, that comes in the night,
And repeats, and repeats, in my ear . . .
"Don't you know little fool . . . you never can win!
Use your mentality, wake up to reality!"
But each time I do . . . just the thought of you,
Makes me 'stop' before I begin,
'Cause I've got you . . . Hmm I got you,
I got you . . . under my skin!
I wonder who's kissing her now?
Wonder who's teaching her how?
Wonder who's looking into her eyes, breathing sighs an' telling lies?
I wonder who's buyin' the wine, for the lips that I used to call mine?
Wonder if she ever tells him of me?
I wonder who's kissing her now?

Adeste fidelis

Born the King of Angels!

O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
I want to give
I want to give my love to you completely....
I beg of you,
I beg of you to listen to my heart.
I've never prayed like this before
and I'm askin' you not to close the door.
For I contain the wind that smoothed the waters
if you just let me x2.
I wanna' give,
I wanna give you all the strengths within me.
To make a world,
to make a world that cannot fall apart.
And you can sit upon a throne,
oh, I'll give it all, just for you alone.
For I contain the wind that smoothed the waters
if you just let me x2.
You are never far away from me,
When we part I hold your memory!
You linger in my dreams,
When day has flown . . .
And through the lonely night,
I'm not alone!
When two sweethearts care, as you and I,
There's no sadness in the word, good-bye!
Because you're always in my heart my love,
Wherever I may be,
You are never far away from me!
I wanna give,
I wanna give my love to you completely,
I beg of you,
I beg of you to listen to my heart!
I've never prayed like this before,
And I'm askin' you not to close the door,
For I can tame the wind and smooth the waters,
If you just let me!
( repeat last verse )
I wanna give,

To make a world that cannot fall apart!
And you can sit upon a throne,
Oh I'll give it all just for you alone,

If you just let me!
( repeat last verse )
I love you truly, truly dear,
life with it's sorrow, life with it's tear,
fades into dreams when I feel you are near,
for I love you truly,
truly dear!
A love 'tis something, to feel your kind hand,
Ah yes, 'tis something, by your side to stand,
gone is the sorrow, gone doubt and fear,
for you love me truly,
truly dear!
I love you,
Hums an April breeze,
I love you,
Echo the hills!
I love you,
The golden dawn agrees,
As once more she sees,
Daffodils!
It€™s spring again,
And birds on the wing again,
Start to sing again,
The old melodies!
I love you,
That€™s the Song of Songs,
And it all belongs,
To you and me
I love you . . .
Hums an April breeze,
I love you . . .
Echo the hills!
I love you . . .
The golden dawn agrees,
As once more she sees,
Daffodils!
It€™s spring again,
And birds on the wing again,
Start to sing again,
The old melodies! ( mellow, melodies . . . )
I love you,
That€™s the Song of Songs,
And it all belongs,
To you and me.
And it all belongs,
To you and me!
Marcheta, Marcheta,
I still hear you callin' me back,
To your arms once again.
I still feel the spell,
Of your last kiss upon me,
Since then, life has all been in vain.
All has been sadness,
Without you Marcheta,
Each day finds me lonely and blue.
My poor heart is broken,
I want you Marcheta,
I need you Marcheta I do.
All has been sadness,
Without you Marcheta,
Each day finds me lonely and blue.
My poor heart is broken,
I want you Marcheta,
I need you Marcheta I do.
Look to Your Heart,
When there are words to say,
And never leave your love unspoken.
Day by day, we go our thoughtless way,
And only when we pray,
Do we remember those we love!
Too late we found,
A word that's warm and kind,
Is more than just a passing token.
Speak your love,
To those who seek your love,
Look to Your Heart,
Your heart will know what to say,
Look to Your Heart,
Today!
Long ago and far away
I dreamed a dream one day
And now that dream is here beside me
Long the skies were overcast
But now the clouds have passed
You're here at last!
Chills run up and down my spine
Aladdin's Lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for
Long ago was you.
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 heart 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
On a picnic morning,
Without a warning,
I looked at you,
And somehow I knew . . .
It must have been Moonglow,
Way up in the blue,
It must have been Moonglow,
That led me straight to you . . .
I still hear you sayin'
Dear heart hold me fast,
And I start in prayin'
Oh Lord, please let this last,
We . . . seem to float right through the air,
Heavenly songs seem to come from everywhere,
An' now when there's Moonglow,
Way up in the blue,
I always remember,
That Moonglow gave me you . . .
You and I in the sunshine,
We strolled the fields and far,
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere,
And now when there's Moonglow
Way up in the blue,
I always remember,
That Moonglow gave me you,
That Moonglow gave me you,
That Moonglow gave me you . . .

Maybe I should have saved
those left-over dreams
funny, but here's that rainy day!
Here's that rainy day
they told me about
and I laughed at the thought
that it might turn out this way!
Where is that worn-out wish
that I threw aside,
after it brought my lover near?
Funny how love becomes
a cold rainy day
funny, that rainy day is here!
Funny how love becomes
a cold rainy day
funny . . .
that rainy day is here!
Come, they told me pa ra pa pa pum
a new born King to see pa ra pa pa pum
Our finest gifts we bring pa ra pa pa pum
To lay before the King pa ra pa pa pum,
ra pa pa pum, ra pa pa pum!
So to honour Him pa ra pa pa pum
When we come!
Little baby pa ra pa pa pum
I am a poor boy too pa ra pa pa pum
I have no gift to bring pa ra pa pa pum
That's fit to give our King pa ra pa pa pum
ra pa pa pum, ra pa pa pum!
Shall I play for you pa ra pa pa pum ?
On my drum!
< instrumental break >
Mary nodded pa ra pa pa pum
The ox and lamb kept time pa ra pa pa pum
I played my drum for Him pa ra pa pa pum
I played my best for Him pa ra pa pa pum
ra pa pa pum, ra pa pa pum!
Then He smiled at me pa ra pa pa pum
Me and my drum!
drum, drum, drum!
Gigi . . . am I a fool without a mind
or have I merely been to blind to realize?
Oh Gigi . . . why you've been growin' up
before my very eyes!
Gigi . . . you're not at all the funny
awkward little girl I knew
Oh no, overnight there's been a breathless
change in you!
Gigi . . . why you were tremblin' on the brink
was I out yonder somewhere blinkin' at a star?
Oh Gigi . . . have I been standin' up to close
or back too far?
When did your sparkle turn to fire
and your warmth become desire?
Oh, what miracle
has made you the way you are?
Oh Gigi . . . have I been standin' up to close
or back too far?
When did your sparkle turn to fire
and your warmth become desire?
Oh, what miracle
has made you the way you are?
Well, hello there!
My, it's been a long, long time . . .
How am I doin' ? Oh, I guess I'm doin' fine
It's been so long now, and it seems that it was only yesterday
Gee! ain't it funny, how time slips away?
How's your new love?
I hope he's doin' fine
Heard you told him that you'd love him 'till the end of time
Now, that's the same thing,
the same thing you told me, seems like just the other day
Gee! ain't it funny, funny how time slips away?
Just you remember, what I tell you
that in time you're gonna pay
and it's surprisin',
surprisin' how time slips away!
Arrivederci Roma,
Goodbye, goodbye to Rome . . .
City of a million moonlit places,
City of a million warm embraces,
Where I found the one of all the faces,
Far from home!
Arrivederci Roma,
It's time for us to part,
Save the wedding bells for my returning,
Keep my lover's arms outstretched and yearning,
Please be sure the flame of love keeps burning,
In her heart!
City of a million moonlit places,
City of a million warm embraces,
Where I found the one of all the faces,
Far from home!
Arrivederci Roma,
It's time for us to part,
Save the wedding bells for my returning,
Keep my lover's arms outstretched and yearning,
Please be sure the flame of love keeps burning,
In her heart!
Arrivederci Roma,
Roma, Roma, Roma . . .
~ featured in the 1958 Hollywood musical 'Seven Hills of Rome'
Music by Renato Ranucci with Italian lyrics by Pietro Garinei and Sandro Giovannini
English lyrics by Carl Sigman
I've got a yearning to caress you,
One thought keeps burning in my soul,
A hungry yearning to possess you,
It's far beyond control!
I want your love for now, forever,
I want you heart and soul!
My life, I'd give to you,
Anema e core . . .
I only live for you,
Anema e core . . .
I have but one desire,
And it's to love you,
With all my heart, with all my soul,
My whole life through!
From stars I'll make your crown,
And kneel before you,
I pray you'll take my hand,
For I adore you!
Open up the doors leading to heaven,
A heaven mine and yours,
Anema e core . . .
You'll always be my lifetime sweetheart
never have I loved this way!
I know that when you kiss me years from now
you'll kiss me as you did today!
You'll always be my lifetime sweetheart
no one else would ever do!
And if you're asking me, what sweethearts ought to be
I'd say they ought to be like you!
You'll always be my lifetime sweetheart
never have I loved this way!
I know that when you kiss me years from now
you'll kiss me as you did today!
You'll always be my lifetime sweetheart
no one else would ever do!
And if you're asking me, what sweethearts ought to be
I'd say they ought to be like you!
You were meant for me
I was meant for you!
Nature patterned you, an' when she was done
you were all the sweet things rolled in one!
You're like a plaintive melody
that never lets me free
I'm content, the angels must have sent you
and they meant you just for me!
You . . .
were . . .
meant . . .
for me!
I . . .
was . . .
meant . . .
for you!
I'm content,
the angels must have sent you
and they meant you
just for me!
( Young love! . . . Young love! . . .
Young love! . . . Young love! . . . )
They say for every boy an' girl,
There's just one love in this whole world,
And I know I found mine,
The heavenly touch of your embrace,
Tells me no one can take your place,
Ever in my heart!
Young love, first love!
Filled with true devotion . . .
Young love, our love!
We share, with deep, emotion . . .
( Emotion! . . . Emotion! )
Oh, just one kiss from your sweet lips
Will tell me that your love is real
And I can feel, that it's true!
We will vow to one another,
There will never be another
Love . . .
For you, or for me!
Young love, first love!
Filled with true devotion . . .
Young love, our love!
We share, with deep, emotion . . . ( Emotion! )
( Young love! . . .
Young love! . . . Young love! . . . )
A fellow needs a girl, to sit by his side
At the end of a weary day
To sit by his side and listen to him talk
And agree with the things he'll say!
A fellow needs a girl, to hold in his arms
When the rest of the world goes wrong
To hold in his arms and know that she believes
That her fellow is wise and strong!
When things go right and his job's well done
He wants to share the prize he's won
If no one shares and no one cares
Where's the fun of a job well done, or a prize you've won?
A fellow needs a home, his own kind of home
But to make this dream come
A fellow needs a girl, his own kind of girl
My kind of girl is you!
A fellow needs a girl, his own kind of girl
My kind of girl is you!
( So young! . . .
So young! . . . So young! . . . )
You make me feel so young,
You make me feel so Spring has sprung!
And every time I see you grin,
I'm such a happy, individual!
The moment that you speak,
I wanna go play hide an' seek!
I wanna go an' bounce the moon,
Just like a toy balloon!
You and I . . .
Are just like a couple of tots!
Runnin' across the meadow . . .
An' pickin' up lots of forget-me-nots!
You make me feel so young,
You make me feel there are songs to be sung . . .
Bells to be rung,
An' a wonderful fling to be flung!
And even when I'm old an' grey . . .
( And even when I'm old an' grey . . . )
I'm gonna feel the way I do today!
( 'Cause you . . . )
You make me feel so young!
And even when I'm old an' grey . . .
( And even when I'm old an' grey . . . )
I'm gonna feel the way I do today!
( 'Cause you . . . )
You make me feel so young!
You make me feel so young!
( So Young! )
You made me love you,
I didn't wanna to do it, I didn't wanna do it,
You made me want you, and all the time you knew it,
I guess you always knew it,
You made me happy, sometimes you made me glad,
But there were times, dear, you made me feel so bad . . .
You made me sigh for,
I didn't wanna tell you, didn't wanna tell you,
I want some love that's true, yes I do,
'Deed I do, you know I do,
Gimmy, gimmy me what I cry for,
You made me happy, sometimes you made me glad,
You know you got the brand of kisses that I die for,
You know you made me love you !
Where does a little tear come from?
Where does a little . . . tear . . . come from?
It comes from a heart that's been broken apart,
that's where a little tear comes from!
Where does a broken heart come from?
Where does a broken . . . heart . . . come from?
It comes when you find that you love the rovin' kind,
that's where a broken heart comes from!
Where does the rovin' kind come from?
Where does rovin' . . . kind . . . come from?
From the wind and restless river that wanders on forever
that's where the rovin' comes from!
Where does the restless river come from?
Where does restless . . . river . . . come from?
It comes from little tears that are shed through the years
that's where the restless river comes from . . .
. . . that's where the restless river comes from . . .

Thy people will be my people my love . . .
Whither thou goest, I will go.
Wherever thou lodgest, I will lodge.
Thy people will be my people my love,
Whither thou goest, I will go!
For as in that story, long ago,
The same sweet love story, now is so,
Thy people shall be my people my love,
Whither thou goest, I will go!
Whither thou goest I will go,
Wherever thou lodgest, I will lodge,
Thy people will be my people my love,
Whither thou goest I will go. . .
For as in that story long ago,
The same sweet love story now is so,
Thy people shall be my people my love,
Whither thou goest, I will go
I will go . . .
You do somethin' to me,
Somethin' that simply mystifies me,
Tell me, why should it be?
You have the power to hypnotize me . . .
Let me live 'neath your spell,
Do do that 'voodoo' that you do so well!
For you do somethin' to me,
That nobody else could do!
You . . . do . . . somethin' to me,
Somethin' that simply mystifies me,
Tell . . . me . . . why should it be?
You have the power to hypnotize me . . .
Let me live 'neath your spell,
Do do that 'voodoo' that you do so well!
For you do somethin' to me,
That nobody else could do!
That nobody else could do . . .
You are the sunshine of my life
that's why I'll always be around.
You are the apple of my eye
forever you'll stay in my heart.
I feel like this is the beginning
though I've loved you for a million years.
And if I thought our love was ending
I'd find myself drowning in my own tears.
You are the sunshine of my life
that's why I'll always be around.
You are the apple of my eye
forever you'll stay in my heart.
( You must have known that I was lonely,
because you came to my rescue . . . )
And I know that this must be heaven,
how could so much love be inside of you?
You are the sunshine of my life
that's why I'll always be around.
You are the apple of my eye . . .
You! . . . ( you, you! ) I said you are ( you are! )
You are the sun! ( you are the sun! )
You are the sunshine! ( you are the sunshine! )
You are the sun . . . shine . . . of . . .
my life!
You are so beautiful . . . to me You are so beautiful . . . to me can't you see? You're everything I hoped for, you're everything I need You are so beautiful . . . to me!
If I told you, how I feel inside,
Would you understand the love I'm feelin'
Would you run away and hide?
I do, love you,
And I always will,
Love's not a word I've often spoken,
You make my restless heart stand still!
You are my world, my newborn soul,
Here is my heart for you to hold,
You're every dream of love come true,
Yes, everything I'll ever need is you!
( I will . . . ) I will . . . ( love you . . . ) love you . . .
( Like no one before . . . )
An' should you ever ask how much I love you,
I'd say I couldn't love you more!
'Cause you're my world, my newborn soul,
Here is my heart for you to hold,
You're every dream of love come true,
Yes, everything I'll ever need is you!
( You're every dream of love come true . . . )
Yes, everything I'll ever need is you!
You wake up dreaming of her embrace
You try to read a book, you lose your place,
No matter where you look, you see that face,
You are in love!
You lose your appetite, and wonder why,
You try to laugh it off, my how you try,
You say she's not for me, but it's a lie,
You are in love . . . you are in love!
You are in love!
You give up with tinkerin' with foreign cars,
You build a rocket ship and fly to Mars,
What do you find up there, spelled out in stars?
Why?
Oh . . . you are in love!
You are in love, you are in love . . .
You are in love!
You give up with tinkerin' with foreign cars,
You build a rocket ship and fly to Mars,
What do you find up there, spelled out in stars?
Why?
Oh you . . .
You are in love!
Yesterday I heard the rain,
whispering your name,
asking where you'd gone . . .
It fell softly from the clouds
on the silent crowds,
as I wandered on . . .
Out of doorways
black umbrellas came to pursue me,
Faceless people as they passed
were looking through me,
no one knew me . . .
Yesterday I shut my eyes,
face-up to the skies,
drinkin' in the rain . . .
But your image still was there
floating in the air,
brighter than a flame . . .
Yesterday I saw a city,
full of shadows without pity,
and I heard the steady rain,
whispering your name,
Whispering your name . . .
Yesterday I saw a city,
full of shadows without pity,
and I heard the steady rain,
whispering your name,
whispering your name,
whispering your name . . .
Why she had to go,
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong,
now I long for 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 the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly!
Why she had to go,
I don't know, she wouldn'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!
Oh I believe in yesterday!
Without a song, the day would never end
Without a song, the road would never bend
When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend
Without a song!
That field of corn, would never see a plough
That field of corn, would be deserted now
A young one's born, but he's no good no how
Without a song!
I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as I know
The Jordan will roll ( Roll you river Jordan! )
I'll get along as long as a song is strung
In my soul!
I'll never know what makes the rain to fall,
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall,
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song!
( I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as I know the Jordan will roll,
I'll get along as long as a song is strung in my soul! )
In my soul!
I'll never know what makes the rain to fall,
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall,
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song!
It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You've been content to let me shine
You always walked a step behind.
I was the one with,with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength
Only a face without a name
I never once heard you complain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle
'with you as the wind beneath my wings!
It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I've got it all here, rite here in my heart
I want you to know I know the truth
I would be nothin' without you!
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings!
You are the wind beneath my wings!
( I Will Love You Just The Same )
When your hair has turned to silver,
I will love you just the same;
I will only call you sweetheart,
That will always be your name . . .
Through a garden filled with roses
Down the sunset trail we'll stray;
When your hair has turned to silver,
I will love you as today . . .
Through a garden filled with roses
Down the sunset trail we'll stray;
When your hair has turned to silver,
I will love you as today . . .
When you're in love,
When you're in love,
There is no way on earth to hide it!
When you're in love,
Really in love,
You simply let your heart decide it!
With every sigh,
With every glance,
With every heartbeat,
You confide it!
You'll want the world to know it too,
When you're in love as I'm in love with you!
When you're away dear,
how weary the lonesome hours,
sunshine seems gray dear,
the fragrance has left the flowers . . .
Ever I hear you in seeming
whispering soft love words to me
Ah if I knew it were but dreaming
n'er to be . . .
Then, when you're near me
there's n'yot that I strive to do
save to endear me
more fondly my love to you . . .
Never again let us part dear,
I'd die without you my own,
hold me again to your heart,
I love you alone . . .
( Never again let us part dear,
I'd die without you my own . . . )
. . . hold me again to your heart,
I love you alone . . .
Love you my own . . .
love you alone!
When you come to the end of the day,
And the night calls your worries away,
Do you ever watch the setting sun,
And dream of things that you might have done?
Do you turn from your work with a smile?
Do you feel that it's all worth the while?
As you dream the twilight hours away,
When you come to the end of the day!
( Now the hacienda's dark, the town is sleeping,
Now the time has come to part,
The time for weeping! )
Vaya Con Dios, my darling,
May God be with you my love . . .
Now, the village mission bells are softly ringing,
If you listen with your heart you'll hear them singing ( . . . singing! )
Vaya Con Dios, my darling,
May God be with you my love . . .
Where ever you may be, I'll be beside you ( . . . beside you! )
Although you're many million miles away!
Each night I'll say a prayer, a prayer to guide you ( . . . to guide you! )
To hasten every lonely hour of every lonely day . . .
Now, the dawn is breaking through a gray tomorrow,
But the memories we share are there to borrow ( . . . no sorrow! )
Vaya Con Dios, my darling,
May God be with you my love . . .
Vaya Con Dios, my darling,
May God be with you my love . . .
( Now the time has come to say goodbye! )
When hearts are young,
When love's a star,
A song unsung,
A magic land that gleams afar!
We feel, it's truth,
It's voice allures,
And youth calls youth,
Sayin' take me I am yours!
( When hearts are young,
When love's a star,
A song unsung,
A magic land that gleams afar! )
We feel, it's truth,
It's voice allures,
And youth calls youth,
Sayin' take me I am yours!
( Sayin' take me I am yours! )
When hearts are young!
When day is done
and shadows fall
I dream of you!
When day is done
I think of all
the joys we knew!
That yearning, returning,
to hold you in my arms,
won't go love, I know love,
without you, night has lost it's charms!
When day is done
and grass is wet
with twilight's dew,
my lonely heart is sinking
with the sun!
Although I miss your tender kiss
the whole day through,
I miss you most of all
when day is done!
Although I miss your tender kiss
the whole day through,
I miss you most of all
when day is done!
When, when beauty fades from view,
As worldly things will do,
My eyes will still see you . . .
When, when dreams turn old and gray,
And seem to slip away,
My dream of you will stay . . .
Loving you, the way I do,
Wanting you, needing you,
Don't you know, can't you see,
My love will flow eternally . . .
Don't you know, can't you see,
My love will flow eternally . . .
And when, when evening shadows fall,
And you are in my arms,
I love you most of all . . .
Loving you, the way I do,
Wanting you, needing you,
Don't you know, can't you see . . . to fade
He wore the rose tattoo,
To prove his love was true . . .
But hearts can lie, so why deny,
That roses fade and love can die . . .
She'll wait her whole life through,
Like fools an' dreamer's do . . .
She'll go on caring for one who's wearing,
The rose . . . the rose tattoo . . .
She'll wait her whole life through,
Like fools an' dreamer's do . . .
She'll go on caring for one who's wearing,
The rose . . . the rose tattoo . . .
