I'll be loving you eternally
With a love that's true, eternally
From the start, within my heart
It seems I've always known
The sun would shine
When you were mine
And mine alone
I'll be loving you eternally
There'll be no one new, my dear, for me
Though the sky should fall
Remember I shall always be
Forever true and loving you
Eternally
(music)
Though the sky should fall
Remember I shall always be
Forever true and loving you
Day-o, day-ay-ay-o
Daylight come and he wan' go home
Day, he say day, he say day, he say day, he say day, he say day-ay-ay-o
Daylight come and he wan' go home
Work all night on a drink a'rum
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)
Stack banana till thee morning come
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)
Come, Mr. Tally Mon, tally me banana
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)
Come, Mr. Tally Mon, tally me banana
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)
It's six foot, seven foot, eight foot, BUNCH!
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot, BUNCH!
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)
Day, he say day-ay-ay-o
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)
Day, he say day, he say day, he say day,
How important can it be that I'd tasted other lips
That was long before you came to me with a magic of your
kiss
So the story got around of an old romance and me
But it happened oh so long ago how important can it be
Mine was young and the foolish heart seeking love at
every turn
I have grown so much wiser now even foolish heart can
learn
Let the past just fade away why get lost in yesterday
The imprtant thing is here and now and our love is here
to stay
It's the wrong time and the wrong place
Though your face is charming it's the wrong face
It's not his face, but such a charming face
That it's all right with me.
It's the wrong song in the wrong style
Though your smile is lovely it's the wrong smile
It's not his smile, but such a lovely smile
That it's all right with me.
Chorus:
You can't know how happy I am that we met
Iâ'm strangely attracted to you
There is someone I'm trying so hard to forget
Don't you want to forget someone to?
Repeat chorus
It's the wrong game, with the wrong chips
Though you lips are tempting they're the wrong lips
They're not his lips but they're such Tempting lips
That if some night you are free
Well it's all right, yes it's all right
Baby don't you know it's all right with me
To me he's a fabulous character
(He's near and I glow)
A fabulous character
(And I love him so)
He walks by my side
And I dance on air
I find he's kind of a special guy
(My heart can't be wrong)
I kiss him and I know why
(My life is a song)
He's so marvelous
No one can compare
Till now my life was a merry-go-round
I never knew a carefree day
And then it happened, I suddenly found
The someone who could make me feel this way
To me he's a fabulous character
(He's all I can see)
A fabulous character
(And he'll always be)
What's more fabulous
He belongs to me
What a difference a day made
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain
My yesterdays was blue dear
Today I'm part of you dear
My lonely nights are through dear
Since you said you were mine
What a difference a day made
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't restore me
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss,
It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you
Sad is to live in solitude
far from your tranquil altitude
Sad is to know that no one ever can live on a dream
that never can be, will never be
dreamer awake, wake up and see.
Your beauty is an aeroplane
so high my heart can't bear the strain
A heart that stops when you pass by
only to cause me pain
The stars shine above you,yet linger awhile
They whisper I love you,oh linger awhile
And when you have gone away
Ech hour seems like a day
I've something to tell you
Oh linger awhile
The stars above you,yet linger awhile
They whisper I love you,oh linger awhile
And when you have gone away
Every hour seems like a day
I've something to tell you
You're as thrilling as a college cheer
As sympathetic as a baby's tear
You're as smooth as a kitten's ear
I never want to trade you for all the money in the mint
It feels like love, it looks like love
Oh, can't you take a hint?
You hit the spot
Like a balmy breeze on a night in May
You hit the spot
Like a cool mint julep on a summ'ry day
You hit a new high in my estimation
I had to fall, 'cause you've got so much on the ball
Oh, you hit the spot
Like the first embrace when the night is tied
You hit the spot
Like a pipe and slippers by a fireside
Matter of factly, don't know exactly
What it is that you've got
You'd be so nice to come home to
You'd be so nice by the fire
While the breeze on high sang a lullaby
You'd be all that I could desire
^Under stars chilled by the winter
Under an August moon burning above
You'd be so nice, you'd be paradise
Stepped out of a dream
You are too wonderful
To be what you seem
Could there be eyes like yours?
Could there be lips like yours?
Could there be smiles like yours,
Honest and truly?
Stepped out of a cloud
I want to take you away
Away from the crowd
And have you all to myself
Alone and apart
Out of a dream
Safe into my heart
~interlude~
Stepped out of a cloud
I want to take you away
Away from the crowd
And have you all to myself
Alone and apart
Out of a dream
Safe into my heart ...
Wa-dee-la-la
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
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
Oh, why is it I spend the day
Wake up and end the day thinking of you?
Oh, why does it do this to me?
Is it such bliss to be thinking of you?
And when I fall asleep at night
It seems you just tip-toe into all my dreams
So I think of no other one
Ever since I've begun thinking of you
When I fall asleep at night
It seems, you just tip-toe into all my dreams
So I think of no other one
Ever since I've begun day in, day out
The shadow of your smile
When you have 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 wistful little star
Was far, too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so, so did I
Now when I remember spring
And every little lovely thing
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
When you shall see flowers
That lie on the plain
Lying there sighing
For one touch of rain
Then you may borrow
Some glimpse of my sorrow
And you'll understand
How I longed for the touch for your hand
I've loved you so
You'll never know
All through those far ways
And strange star ways
On sea or on land
The one I love belongs to somebody else
She means her tender songs for somebody else
And even when I have my arms around her
I know her thoughts are strong for somebody else
The hands I held belong to somebody else
I'll bet they're not so cold to somebody else
It's tough to be alone on the shelf
It's worse to fall in love by yourself
The one I love belongs to somebody else
It's not the pale moon that excites me,
That thrills and delights me,
Oh no, it's just the nearness of you
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation,
Oh no, it's just the nearness of you
When you're in my arms
And I feel you so close to me,
All my wildest dreams come true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
If there is a Cinderella
Looking for a steady fella
Listen to my serenade in blue
Toss at night upon my pillow
Mournful as a weeping willow
Haunted by my serenade in blue
Why must I go on dreaming of
An imaginary love
Wish I had someone to sing to
One that I could kiss and cling to
No one hears my serenade in blue
Toss at night upon my pillow
Mournful as a weeping willow
Haunted by my serenade in blue
Why must I go on dreaming of
An imaginary love
Wish I had someone to sing to
One that I could kiss and cling to
Someday he'll come along
The man I love
And he'll be big and strong
The man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay
He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand
And in a little while
He'll take my hand
and though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word
Maybe I will meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still, I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
We'll build a little home
Just ment for two
From which I'll never roam
Who would, would you
And so all else above
I'm dreamin' of
The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to your door
The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
Let me know the way
Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried
Any way you'll never know
The many ways I've tried
Don't leave me standing here
I dreaming of two blue orchids
Two beautiful blue orchids
One night while in my lonely room
I dreamed of two blue orchids
So full of love and light
That I wanted to possess each tended bloom
Then my dream took wings
And through a thousand springs
Blue orchids seemed in a world apart
But when I met you
Something pale and blue
Came stealing from the meadows of my heart
I saw my two blue orchids
My beautiful blue orchids
Last night, and what a sweet surprise
When you locked at me
It was plain to see
They say into your early life romance came
And in this heart of yours burned a flame
A flame that flickered one day and died away
Then, with disillusion deep in your eyes
You learned that fools in love soon grow wise
The years have changed you, somehow
I see you now
Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow, nonchalant
Diamonds shining, dancing, dining with some man in a
restaurant
Is that all you really want?
No, sophisticated lady,
I know, you miss the love you lost long ago
There's a saying old
Says that love is blind
Still we're often told
"Seek and ye shall find"
So I'm going to seek
A certain lad
I've had in mind
Looking everywhere
Haven't found him yet
He's the big affair
I cannot forget
Only man I ever think
Of with regret
I'd like
To add his inital
To my monogram
Tell me
Where is the shepherd
For this lost lamb?
There's a somebody
I'm longin' to see
I hope that he turns
Out to be
Someone to watch over me
I'm a little lamb
Who's lost in the wood
I know I could
Always be good
To one
Who'll watch over me
Although he may
Not be the man some
Girls think
Of as handsome
To my heart
He carries the key
Won't you tell him please
To put on some speed
Follow my lead
Oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me
Won't you tell him please
To put on some speed
Follow my lead
Oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me
Those silk shiny stockings
That I wear when I'm with you
I wear 'cause you told me
That you dig that crazy hue
Do we feel the romance
When we go to the dance
Oh no, you take a glance
At those shiny stockings
Then came along some chick
With great big stockings, too
When you changed your mind about me
Why, I never knew
I guess I'll have to find
A new, a new kind
A guy who digs my shiny stockings, too
Then came along some chick
With great big stockings, too
When you changed your mind about me
Why, I never knew
I guess I'll have to find
A new, a new kind
A guy who digs my shiny stockings, too
The leaves of brown, came tumbling down,
Remember
that September, in the Rain.
The sun went out just like a dying ember
that september
in the rain.
Through every word of love I heard you whisper
the raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain.
Though spring is here to me its still September
That September
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 a precious few
September, November
And these few golden days I'll spend with you
Supper time, I'm sad... then really gets bad
Memories always start after sundown
It begins to tell round midnite, round midnite
I do pretty well til after sundown
Supper time Im feeling sad
but it really gets bad round midnite
Memories always start round midnite, round midnite
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories
when my heart is still with you
and old midnite knows it too
When some quarrel we had needs mending
does it mean that our love is ending?
Darling I need you
Lately I find you're out of my arms
and out of my mind
Let our love take win
some midnite round midnite
Let the Angels sing for your returning
Let our love be safe and sound
When old midnite comes around
Just let our love take win
and let the Angels sing your returning
Please let our love be safe and sound
When old midnite comes around
If you hear a song in blue
like a flower crying for dew
That was my heart serenading you
My prelude to a kiss
If you hear a song that grows
from my tender sentimental woes
That was my heart trying to compose
A prelude to a kiss
Though it's just a simple melody
with nothing fancy, nothing much
You could turn it to a symphony -
a Schubert tune with a Gershwin touch
Oh! How my love song gently cries
for the tenderness within your eyes
Perdido, I look for my heart it's perdido
I lost it way down in Torido
While chancing a dance fiesta
Bolero, he glanced as I danced the Bolero
He said taking off his sombrero: 'Let's meet for a
sweet fietsa'
High was the sun when we first came close
Low was the moon when we said adios
Perdido, since then has my heart been perdido
I know I must go to Torido, that yearning to lose
perdido
I look for my heart it's perdido
I lost it way down in Torido
He glanced as I danced the Bolero
He smiled as he tipped his sombrero
High was the moon when we first came close
Low was the moon when we said adios
Since then has my heart been perdido
I must go to Torido, that yearning telude
Perdido oeoeoeoe Perdido oeoeoeoe Perdido
The day the fiesta started
Perdido oeoeoeoe Perdido oeoeoeoe Perdido
That's when my heart departed
My ship has sails that are made of silk
The decks are trimmed with gold
And of jam and spice
There's a paradise in the hold
My ship's aglow with a million pearls
And rubies fill each bin
The sun sits high in a sapphire sky
When my ship comes in
I can wait the years till it appears
One fine day one spring
But the pearls and such
They don't mean much
If there's missing just one thing
I do not care if that day arrives
That dream need never be
If the ship I sing
Doesn't also bring
My romance, doesn't need to have a moon in the sky
My romance, doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by
No month of May, no twinkling stars
No hideaway, no soft guitar
My romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain
Or a dance to a constantly surprising refrain
All at once I can make my most fantastic dreams come true
My romance, doesn't need a thing but you
My romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain
Or a dance to a constantly surprising refrain
And wide awake, I can make my most fantastic dreams come
true
Why this feeling
Why this glow
Why the thrill when you say, Hello
It's a strange and tender magic you do
Mister Wonderful, that's you
Why this trembling when you speak
Why this joy when you touch my cheek
I must tell you what my heart knows is true
Mister Wonderful, that's you
And why this longing to know your charms
To spend forever here in your arms
Oh, there's much more I could say
But the words keep slipping away
And I'm left with one point of view
Mister Wonderful, that's you
One more thing
Then I'm through
Mister Wonderful
Mister Wonderful
Mister Wonderful
Look at me,I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree,
And I feel like 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,
Or it might be the sound of your hello,that music I hear,
I get misty, the moment you're near.
You can say that you're leading on
But it's just what I want you to do,
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost,
That's why I'm following you.
On my own, would I wander through this wonderland alone,
Never knowing my right foot from my left, my hat from my
glove,
I'm too misty, and too much in love.
Mmmmm Mmmmmm Make yourself comfortable.
Mmmmm Mmmmmm Make yourself comfortable.
Mmmmm Mmmmmm Make yourself comfortable, baby.
Take off your shoesies, dear,
And loosen up your tie.
I've got some records here.
Let's try one on for size.
I'll turn the lights down
While you make yourself comfortable, baby.
We hurried through our dinner, Hurried through the dance,
Left before the picture show was through.
Why did we hurry through our dinner,
Hurry through the dance.
To leave some time for this,
To hug-a hug-a kiss and so now
Mmmmm Mmmmmm Make yourself comfortable.
Mmmmm Mmmmmm Make yourself comfortable.
Lullaby of birdland
That's what I
Always hear, when you sigh
Never in my wordland
could there be ways to reveal
in a phrase, how I feel
Have you ever heard two turtledoves
Bill and coo
when they love
that's the kind of magic music
we make with our lips
when we kiss
And there's a weepy ol' willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I cry on my pillow
If you should tell me
farewell and goodbye
Lullaby of birdland
whisper low
kiss me sweet, and we'll go
flying high in birdland,
high in the sky up above
It's a lazy afternoon
And the beetle bugs are zooming
And the tulip trees are blooming
And there's not another human in view,
But us two
It's a lazy afternoon
And the farmer leaves his reaping
And the meadow cows are sleeping
And the speckled trouts stop leaping up stream
As we dream
A far pink cloud hangs over the hill
Unfolding like a rose
If you hold my hand and sit real still,
You can hear the grass as it grows
It's a hazy afternoon
And i know a place that's quiet, except for daisies
running riot
And there's no one passing by it to see
When you must do without him
But your dreams are still about him
You'll begin the lonely hours
When your romance is ending
And your heart has stopped pretending
You are in the lonely hours
Oh, how slow the moments go
When your love disappears
Oh, how slow the moments go
Every minute is a thousand years
You'll say he doesn't want you
But his lips will stay to haunt you
When you know the lonely hours
You'll swear that you cannot hear him
Even though you're nowhere near him
When you know the lonely hours
And yet you know that love
Can make your broken heart mend
'Cause love began it all
And only love can end the lonely hours
And yet you know that love
Can make your broken heart mend
'Cause love began it all
And only love can end the lonely hours
'Cause love began it all
I don't know why
but i'm feeling so sad
I long to try
something i've never had
never had no kissing
Oh what i've been missing
Lover man oh where can you be
The night is cold
and i'm so all alone
I'd give my soul
just to call you my own
got the moon above me
but no one to love me
lover man oh where can you be
I've heard it said
that the thrill of romance
can be like a heavenly dream.
I go to bed
with the prayer that you'll make love to me
sad as it seems
One day we'll meet
and you'll dry all my tears
and whisper sweeet
little things in my ears.
A huggin' and a kissin'
lord what i've been missin'
Love me or leave me, or let me be lonely;
You won't believe me, I love you only.
I'd rather be lonely than happy with someone else.
You might find the night time the right time for kissin',
But night time is my time for just reminiscin',
Regrettin' instead of forgettin' with somebody else.
Bridge:
There'll be no one unless that someone is you;
I intend to be independently blue.
I want your love, but I don't want to borrow,
To have it today to give back tomorrow,
For my love is your love -
It was just one of those things
just one of those, crazy things.
One of those bells,
that now and then rings.
Just one of those things.
It was just one of those night.
Just one of those, fabulous flights.
A trip to the moon
on gossamer wings.
Just one of those things.
If we'd thought a bit of the end of it
when we started painting the town
We'd have been aware that our love affair
was too hot not to cool down
So goodbye dear and amends.
Here's hoping we meet now and then
'cause it was great fun
Just friends, lovers no more,
Just friends, but not like before
To think of what we've been, and not to kiss again
Seems like pretending, it isn't the ending
Two friends, drifting apart,
Two friends, but one broken heart
We loved we laughed we cried, then suddenly love died
The story ends and we're just friends
We loved we laughed and we cried, then suddenly love died
Just a gigolo, everywhere you go
People know the part you're playing. (I'm playing)
Paid for every dance, selling each romance,
Every night some heart betraying.
There will come a day, youth will pass away,
Then what will they say about you? (about me?)
When the end comes, I know,
They'll say "Just a gigolo,"
Jim doesn't ever bring me pretty flowers
Jim never tries to cheer my lonely hours
Don't know why I'm so crazy for Jim
Jim never tells me I'm his heart's desire
I never seem to set his love afire
Gone are the years I've wasted on him
Sometimes when I get feelin' low
I say let's call it quits
Then I hang on and let him go Breakin' my heart in bits
Someday I know that Jim will up and leave me
But even if he does you can believe me
I'll go on carrying the torch for Jim
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'm 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 man 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,
In a sentimental mood
I can see the stars come through my room
While your loving attitude
Is like a flame that lights the gloom
On the wings of every kiss
Drifts a melody so strange and sweet
In this sentimental bliss
You make my paradise complete
Rose petals seem to fall
It's all I could dream to call you mine
My heart's a lighter thing
Since you made this night a thing divine
In a sentimental mood
I'm within a world so heavenly
Ill never smile again
Until I smile at you
Ill never laugh again
What good would it do
For tears would fill my eyes
My heart would realize
That our romance is through
Ill never love again
Im so in love with you
Ill never thrill again
To somebody new
Within my heart
I know I will never start
To smile again
Until I smile at you
Within my heart
I know I will never start
To smile again
Until I smile at you
I want to be happy
But I won't be happy
Till I make you happy, too
Life's really worth living
When we are mirth-giving
Why can't I give some to you?
When skies are gray
And you say you are blue
I'll send the sun smiling through
I want to be happy
But I won't be happy
The loveliness of Paris
Seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome
Is just another day
I've been terribly alone
And forgotten in Manhattan
I'm going home
To my city by the bay
[Chorus:]
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
Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
There is no moon above
When love is far away too
Till it comes true
That you love me as I love you
Somewhere there's music
How near, how far
Somewhere there's heaven
It's where you are
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon
Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
He's my guy, I don't care what he does
'Cause he's my guy, I guess he always was,
He's careless about me, I don't think he tries
But once in a while he'll hug me and smile
Then I can see me in his eyes
Oh he's my guy, I know he'll always be
And I will try to keep him loving me
However he wants me, I'm his until I die
For nobody knows, better than I
Goodnight sweetheart, till we meet tomorrow
Goodnight sweetheart, sleep will banish sorrow
Tears and parting may make us forlorn
But with the dawn, a new day is born
So I'll say,
Goodnight sweetheart, thou' I'm not beside you
Goodnight goodnight sweetheart still my love will guide
Dreams enfold you, in each one I'll hold you
Careless..
Now that you've got me loving you
You're careless
Careless in everything you do
You break appointments and think you are smart
If you're not careful
You'll break my heart
Careless..
Now that my bridges all are burned
You're careless
Careless in things where I'm concerned
Are you just careless as you seem to be
I want a man to hold me tight
I want ha man to kiss goodnight
If he's young and free
Just send him to me
Experience unnecessary
I want a man with lots of charm
I want a man, no false alarm
The kind of guy
Who kiss my tears when I cry
Experience unnecessary
If he is big and strong and willing to learn
There are such thrills in store
And when the lights are dim
And I'm close to him
I'll teach him what my lips are for
I want a man around the house
I want a man not just a mouse
We'll spend a cozy life
As husband and wife
Experience unnecessary
If he is big and strong and willing to learn
There are such thrills in store
And when the lights are dim
And I'm close to him
I'll teach him what my lips are for
I want a man around the house
I want a man not just a mouse
We'll spend a cozy life
As husband and wife
Experience unnecessary
Fly me to the moon,
And let me play among the stars.
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars.
In other words,
Hold my hand.
In other words,
Darling, kiss me.
Fill my heart with song,
And let me sing forever more.
You are all I long for,
All I worship and adore.
In other words,
Please be true.
In other words,
I love you.
~interlude~
Fill my heart with song,
And let it sing forever more.
You are all I long for,
All I worship and adore.
In other words
Please be true.
In other words,
Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear
You give me fever, when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night
Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
My eyes light up when you call my name
'Cause I know you're gonna treat me right
Everybody's got the fever
That is something you should know
Fever isn't such a new scene
Embrace me
My sweet embraceable you
Embrace me
My irreplaceable you
Just to look at you
My heart grows 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
Dont be naughty baby
Come to mama
Come to mama do
My sweet embraceable you
I love all
The many charms about you
Above all
I want my arms about you
Dont be naughty baby
Come to mama
Come to mama do
Smooth road clear day
But why am I the only one
Traveling' this way
How strange the road you love
Can be so easy
Can there be a detour ahead
Wake up slow down
Before you crash and brake your heart
Gullible clown
You fool, you're heading
In the wrong direction
Can't you see the detour ahead
The further you travel
The harder to unravel
The way he spins around you
Turn back while there is time
Can't you see the danger sign
Soft shoulders surround you
Smooth road clear night
Oh lucky me that suddenly
I saw the light
I'm turning back away
From all that trouble
Smooth road, smooth road
I'm gonna love you
Like no one's loved you,
Come rain or come shine.
High as a mountain,
Deep as a river,
Come rain or come shine.
I guess when you met me,
It was just one of those things.
But don't ever bet me
Cause I'm gonna be true
If you'll let me.
You're gonna love me
Like nobody's loved me,
Come rain or come shine.
Happy together,
Unhappy together,
And won't it be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny.
We're in or we're out of money.
But I'm with you always,
I'm with you rain or shine.
I'm gonna love you,
Like nobody's loved you,
Come rain or come shine.
Happy together,
Unhappy together,
And won't it be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny.
We're in or we're out of money.
But I'm with you always.
Close to you, I will always stay.
Close to you, though you're far away.
You'll always be near as though you were here by my side.
No matter where - in my dreams I'll find you there
Close to me, sharing you're caress.
Can't you see you're my happiness?
Wherever you go, my heart will go, too.
What can I do?
It only wants to be close to you.
[Musical interlude]
Wherever you go, my heart will go, too.
What can I do?
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Black bird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
all your life
you were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,
He's a fool and don't I know it
But a fool can have his charms
I'm in love and don't I show it
Like a babe in arms
Love's the same old sad sensation
Lately I've not slept a wink
Since this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink
I'm wild again, beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
Couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep
When love came and told me, I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
Lost my heart, but what of it
He is cold I agree
He can laugh, but I love it
Although the laugh's on me
I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And long, for the day when I'll cling to him
Baubles, bangles,
Hear how they jing, jing-a-ling-a,
Baubles, bangles,
Bright, shiny beads.
Sparkles, spangles,
My heart will sing, sing-a-ling-a,
Wearing baubles, bangles and beads.
I'll glitter and gleam so,
Make somebody dream so,
That someday he may buy me,
A ring, ring-aling-a,
I've heard that's where it leads,
Autumn in New York
Why does it seem so inviting
Autumn in New York
It spells the thrill of first-nighting
glittering crowds and shimmering clouds
In canyons of steel
They're making me feel - I'm home
It's autumn in New York
That brings the promise of new love
Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain
Dreamers with empty hands
They sigh for exotic lands
It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again
[Louis]
Autumn in New York
The gleaming rooftops at sundown
Oh, Autumn in New York
It lifts you up when you run down
Yes, jaded rou‚s and gay divorc‚es
Who lunch at the Ritz
Will tell you that it's divine
This autumn in New York
Transforms the slums into Mayfair
Oh, Autumn in New York
You'll need no castles in Spain
Yes, Lovers that bless the dark
On the benches in Central Park
Greet autumn in New York
I never knew the charm of spring
I never met it face to face
I never new my heart could sing
I never missed a warm embrace
Till 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
I never met it face to face
I never new my heart could sing
I never missed a warm embrace
Till april in paris
Whom can I run to
You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song.
You are the angel glow that lights the star,
The dearest things I know are what you are.
Someday my happy arms will hold you,
And someday I'll know that moment divine
All or nothing at all
Half love never appealled to me
If your heart never could yield to me
Then I'd rather have nothing at all
All or nothing at all
If its love there is no in between
Why begin, then cry for something that migh have been
No I'd rather have nothing at all
But please don't bring your lips so close to my cheek
Don't smile or I'll be lost beyond recall
The kiss in your eyes, the touch of your hand makes me
All of me - why not take all of me
Cant you see - Im no good without you
Take my lips - I want to lose them
Take my arms - Ill never use them
Your good-bye - left me with eyes that cry
How can I - get along without you
you took the part - that once was my heart
Everything went wrong,
And the whole day long
I'd feel so blue.
For the longest while
I'd forget to smile,
Then I met you.
Now that my blue days have passed,
Now that I've found you at last -
{end intro}
I'll be loving you Always
With a love that's true Always.
When the things you've planned
Need a helping hand,
I will understand Always.
Always.
Days may not be fair Always,
That's when I'll be there Always.
Not for just an hour,
Not for just a day,
Not for just a year,
But Always.
I'll be loving you, oh Always
With a love that's true Always.
When the things you've planned
Need a helping hand,
I will understand Always.
Always.
Days may not be fair Always,
That's when I'll be there Always.
Not for just an hour,
Not for just a day,
Not for just a year,
But Always.
Not for just an hour,
Not for just a day,
Not for just a year,
Winds may blow over icy sea
I'll take with me the warmth of thee
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wine.
I will return, I'll return
Oh, I'll come back for the honey and you
I'll leave behind my heart to wear
And may it ever remind you of
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wine.
I will return, I'll return
I'll come back for the honey and you
He never came back to his love so fair
And so she died dreaming of his kiss
His kiss was honey
A taste much bitter than wine
I will return, yeah yeah yeah, I'll return
I'll come back for the honey and you
I'll come back for the honey and you
I'll come back for the honey...
Stars in the sky were dancing
One night perfect for romancing,
The night a sinner kissed an angel,
He wanted thrills, she wanted love,
Oh but his sighs were tender
As he begged her to surrender,
The night a sinner kissed an angel,
And she believed that it was love.
How was she to know that every lovely vow
Was part of the game he was playing,
But to his surprise he realized
Somehow he meant every word he was saying.
Yes, miracles can happen,
I know 'cause I saw what happened
That night a sinner kissed an angel,
I was a stranger in the city
Out of town were the people I knew
I had that feeling of self-pity
What to do? What to do? What to do?
The outlook was decidedly blue
But as I walked through the foggy streets alone
It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known
CHORUS
A foggy day in London Town
Had me low and had me down
I viewed the morning with alarm
The British Museum had lost its charm
How long, I wondered, could this thing last?
But the age of miracles hadn't passed,
For, suddenly, I saw you there
And through foggy London Town
You never give me your money
You only give me your funny paper
and in the middle of negotiations
you break down
I never give you my number
I only give you my situation
and in the middle of investigation
I break down
Out of college, money spent
See no future, pay no rent
All the money's gone, nowhere to go
Any jobber got the sack
Monday morning, turning back
Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go
But oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go
Oh, that magic feeling
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
One sweet dream
Pick up the bags and get in the limousine
Soon we'll be away from here
Step on the gas and wipe that tear away
One sweet dream came true... today
Came true... today
Came true... today...yes it did
One two three four five six seven,
Let's build a stairway to the stars
And climb that stairway to the stars
With Love beside us
To fill the night with a song
We'll hear the sound of violins
Out yonder where the blue begins
The moon will guide us
As we go drifting along.
Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal
Over the rim of the hills?
Can't we sail away on a little dream
Settle high on the crest of a thrill?
Let's build a stairway to the stars
A lovely lovely stairway to the stars
It would be heaven
To climb to heaven with you
Let's build a stairway to the stars
And climb that stairway to the stars
Yes we're climbing
Climbing to that stairway to the stars
Stars, stars, stars
The sound of violins
Way out yonder where the blue begins
The moon will guide us
As we go drift drift drifting along
Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal
Over the rim of the hills?
Can't we sail away on a little dream
Settle high on the crest of a thrill?
Keep building the stairway to the stars
A lovely stairway to the stars
It would be heaven
Something in the way he moves
attracts me like no other lover
something in the way he woos me
i don´t want to leave his now
you know i believe and how
somewhere in his smile he knows
that i don´t need no other lover
something in his style that shows me
i don´t want to leave him now
you know i believe and how
you´re asking me will my love grow
i don´t know, i don´t know
you stick around now it may show
i don´t know, i don´t know, i don´t know
Alguma coisa no seu jeito de sorrir
me atrai de maneira, de maneira como por ninguém
Alguma coisa no seu modo de olhar ou de andar, sei lá
i don´t want to leave him now
you know i believe and how
you´re asking me will my love grow
i don´t know, i don´t know
you stick around now it may show
Your lips were like a red and ruby chalice, warmer than
the summer night
The clouds were like an alabaster palace rising to a
snowy height.
Each star its own aurora borealis, suddenly you held me
tight
I could see the Midnight Sun.
I can't explain the silver rain that found me--or was
that a moonlit veil?
The music of the universe around me, or was that a
nightingale?
And then your arms miraculously found me,suddenly the sky
turned pale,
I could see the Midnight Sun.
Was there such a night, it's a thrill I still don't quite
believe,
But after you were gone, there was still some stardust on
my sleeve.
The flame of it may dwindle to an ember, and the stars
forget to shine,
And we may see the meadow in December, icy white and
crystalline,
But oh my darling always I'll remember when your lips
were close to mine,
Michelle, my belle.
These are words that go together well,
My Michelle.
Michelle, my belle.
Sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble,
Très bien ensemble.
I love you, I love you, I love you.
That's all I want to say.
Until I find a way
I will say the only words I know that
You'll understand.
Michelle, my belle.
Sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble,
Très bien ensemble.
I need to, I need to, I need to.
I need to make you see,
Oh, what you mean to me.
Until I do I'm hoping you will
Know what I mean.
I love you...
I want you, I want you, I want you.
I think you know by now
I'll get to you somehow.
Until I do I'm telling you so
You'll understand.
Michelle, my belle.
Sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble,
Très bien ensemble.
I will say the only words I know that
Magic expectation, the evening is starting to shine
Neon-colored romance, the promise that you could be mine
Dreams are full of music, my heart memorizes the song
I want to dance on the rooftops so don't keep me waiting so long
My imagination is changing the skyline we know
Step into my fantasy and, baby, don't let me go
We must be the best thing the eyes of this town ever seen
Feels like we've started a party and covered the city with dreams
I don't wanna see the morning coming
I don't want the dark to turn to light
I can feel a dream about to happen
Gonna make the city ours tonight
Traffic's going nowhere, we're glad just to walk hand in hand
Shadows move in time to the rhythm of woman and man
We must be the best thing the eyes of this town ever seen
Feels like we've started a party and covered the city with dreams
We must be the best thing the eyes of this town ever seen
Feels like we've started a party and covered the city with dreams
You say either
And I say either
You say neither
And I say neither
Either, either, neither, neither
Let's call the whole thing off
You like potatoes
And I like potatoes
You like tomatoes
And I like tomatoes
Potatoes, potatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes
Let's call the whole thing off
But oh, if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part
And oh, if we ever part
Then that might break my heart
So it you like pajarnas and I like pajamas
I'll wear pajamas and give up pajamas
For we know we need each other
So we'd better call the calling off, off
Let's call the whole thing off
So if you go for oysters
And I go for oysters
I'll order oysters and cancel the oysters
For we know we need each other
So we'd better call the calling off, off
Last night when we were young
Love was a star, a song unsung
Life was so new, so real so right
Ages ago last night
Today the world is old
You flew away and time grew cold
Where is that star that shone so bright
Ages ago last night?
To think that spring had depended
On merely this: a look, a kiss
To think that something so splendid
Could slip away in one little daybreak
So now, let's reminisce
And recollect the sighs and the kisses
The arms that clung
I jump up at down, shake out the sun
Laugh like a loon, everything is fun
It's crazy, but I'm in love
I act like a fool; what do I care?
I'll be a fool as long as you're there
It's crazy, but I'm in love
I spread my wings and then I fly
All around the city
The world's my sweet potato pie,
And I'm sittin' mighty pretty
I sleep by the stars, chase that old moon,
Fall into of bed hummin' a tune
I don't care if there's powder on my nose
I don't care if my hairdo is in place
I've lost the very meaning of repose
I never put a mudpack on my face
Oh, who'd have thought that I'd walk in a daze
Now I never go to shows at night but just to matinees
Now I see the show and home I go
Once I laughed when I heard you saying
That I'd be playing solitaire
Uneasy in my easy chair
It never entered my mind
Once you told me I was mistaken
That I'd awaken with the sun
And order orange juice for one
It never entered my mind
You have what I laughed myself
And now I even have to scratch my back myself
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd sing the maiden's prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again
(Intro verse:)
Why did I wander here and there and yonder,
Wasting precious time for no reason or rhyme?
Isn't it a pity? Isn't it a crime?
My journey's ended, everything is splendid;
Meeting you today
Has given me a wonderful idea - here I stay.
(Melody:)
It's a funny thing -
I look at you, I get a thrill I never knew.
Isn't it a pity we never met before?
Here we are at last -
It's like a dream, the two of us a perfect team.
Isn't it a pity we never met before?
(Bridge 1:)
Imagine all the lonely years we've wasted
You with the neighbors, I at silly labors -
What joys untasted,
You reading Heine, me somewhere in China.
Let's forget the past;
Let's both agree that I'm for you and you're for me
And it's such a pity we never, never met before.
(Bridge 2:)
Imagine all the lonely year's we've wasted,
Fishing for salmon, losing at backgammon.
What joys untasted,
My nights were sour spent with Schopenhauer.
Let's forget the past;
Let's both agree that I'm for you and you're for me
Good night, my love, the tired old moon is descending.
Good night, my love, my moment with you is now ending.
It was so heavenly, holding you close to me.
It will be heavenly to hold you again in a dream.
The stars above have promised to meet us tomorrow.
Till then, my love, how dreary the new day will seem.
So for the present, dear, we'll have to part.
Sleep tight, my love, good night, my love,
Remember that you're mine, sweetheart.
Good night, my love, your mommy is kneeling beside you.
Good night, my love, to Dreamland the Sandman will guide
you.
Come now, you sleepy head, close your eyes, go to bed.
My precious sleepy head, you mustn't play peek-a-boo.
Goodnight, my love, your little Dutch dolly is yawning.
Goodnight, my love, your teddy bear called it a day.
Your doggy's fast asleep, my but he's smart.
Sleep tight, my love, good night, my love,
Gone with the wind
Just like a leaf that has flown away
Gone with the wind
My romance has blown away
Yesterday's kisses are still on my lips,
I've had a lifetime of heaven at my fingertips.
But now all-all is gone.
Gone is the rapture that fills my heart
Gone with the wind
My romance has flown apart
Just like a flame
Love burned brightly, then became
An empty smoke ring that has gone,
Gone with the wind.
Gone, gone, gone with the wind
Just like a leaf that has flown away
Gone with the wind
My romance has flown away
Yesterday's kisses are still, still on my lips,
I've had a lifetime of heaven at my fingertips.
But now all-all is gone.
Gone is the rapture that fills my heart
Gone with the wind
My romance has flown apart
Just like a flame
Love burned brightly, then became
An empty smoke ring that has
Gone with the wind.

Sweet loretta martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her say she's got it coming
But she gets it while she can
Get back, get back.

Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back loretta. go home

And her low-neck sweater
Get on home loretta
Get back, get back.
Day after day,
Alone on a hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly
still
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he's just a fool,
And he never gives an answer,
But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.
Well on his way,
Head in a cloud,
The man with a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hear him,
or the sound he appears to make,
and he never seems to notice,
But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.
And nobody seems to like him,
they can tell what he wants to do,
and he never shows his feeling,
But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.
Ooh, ooh,
Round and round and round.
And he never listens to them,
He knows that they're the fools
They don't like him,
The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.
Ooh,
Every day, every day I have the blues, Every day,
every day I have the blues, When you see me
worried, baby, because it's you I hate to lose.
Nobody loves me, nobody seems to care, Nobody
loves me, nobody seems to care, Speaking of bad
luck and trouble will you know I,ve had my share.
I'm gonna pack my suit-case, move on down the
line, I'm gonna pack my suit-case, moving down the
line, Well, there ain't nobody worryin' and there
ain't nobody cryin'. Seems to me every day, every
day I have the blues, Every day, every day I have
Ev'ry time we say goodbye I die a little
Ev'ry time we say goodbye I wonder why a little
Why the Gods above me who must be in the know
Think so little of me, they allow you to go
And when you're near there's such an air of spring about
I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer but how strange the change
from major to minor
Ev'ry time we say goodbye
Why the Gods above me who must be in the know
Think so little of me, they allow you to go
And when you're near there's such an air of spring about
I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer but how strange the change
from major to minor
Ev'ry time we say goodbye, ev'ry time we say goodbye
Ev'ry time we say goodbye, ev'ry time we say goodbye
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor rigby picks up the rice in the church where a
wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in
a jar by the door
Who is it for?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from ?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong ?
Father mckenzie writing the words of a sermon that no
one will hear
No one comes near.
Look at him working. darning his socks in the night
when there's nobody there
What does he care?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Eleanor rigby died in the church and was buried along
with her name
Nobody came
Father mckenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he
walks from the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Living for you is easy living
Its easy to live when youre in love
And Im so in love
There is nothing in life but you
I never regret the years that Im giving
Theyre easy to give when youre in love
Im happy to do whatever I do for you
For you maybe Im a fool
But its fun
People say you rule me with one wave of your hand
Darling, its grand
They just dont understand
Living for you is easy living
Its easy to live when youre in love
And Im so in love

East of the sun and west of the moon,
We'll build a dream house of love
Near to the sun in a day, near to the moon at night,
We'll live in a lovely way dear
Living our love in memory
Just you and I, forever and a day,
Love will not die, we'll keep it that way,
Up among the stars we'll find
A harmony of life, too lovely tune
East of the sun and west of the moon, dear,
East of the sun and west of the moon.
Don't be on the outside looking on the inside
If you're on in the inside looking on the outside
Things that look invitin' seldom are exciting
Stay on your side
Don't be on the wrong side looking on the right side
If you're on the right side looking on the wrong side
Everything you see don't really have to be
So stay on your side
The grass looks greener when it's on the other side
Seein' ain't believin' , looks are so deceivin'
Don't be taken for a ride
Don't be on the outside looking on the inside
If you're on in the inside looking on the outside
Take a fool's advice, it's worth the sacrifice
To stay on your side
The grass looks greener when it's on the other side
Seein' ain't believin', looks are so deceivin'
Don't be taken for a ride
Don't be on the outside looking on the inside
If you're on in the inside looking on the outside
Take a fool's advice, it's worth the sacrifice
To stay on your side
Take a fool's advice, it's worth the sacrifice

I'm in Heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Heaven
I'm in Heaven
And the cares that hang around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Oh! I love to climb a mountain
And to reach the highest peak
But it doesn't thrill me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
Oh! I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek
But I don't enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
Dance with me
I want my arm about you
The charm about you
Will carry me through to
Heaven
I'm in Heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
John's in love with Joan
Joan's in love with Jim
Jim's in love with someone
Who's not in love with him
What was meant to be, must be
C'est la vie, c'est la vie
Life's a funny thing
When it comes to love
You don't always conquer
The one you're dreaming of
As they say in old Paree
C'est la vie, c'est la vie
Those who fall in love agree
It's the unsolved mystery
If your big romance cannot be
You'll find someone new, Cherie
There goes happy Joe (Jane)
What a lucky guy
He just found a sweetheart
But no one's gonna cry
Tho' he stole her love from me
(Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...)
Broken hearted melody
Once you were our song of love
Now, you just keep taunting me
With the memory of (fa-da-da)
His tender love, oh
Broken hearted melody
Must you keep reminding me
Of the lips I long to kiss
And the love I miss
Since he went away?
Night and day, they play that
Broken hearted melody
That he used to sing to me
When our love was young and bright
As he held me tight,
Suddenly I found
I was heaven bound (ahhhh)
Broken hearted melody
Once you were our song of love
Now, you just keep taunting me
With the memory of (fa-da-da)
His tender love, oh
Broken hearted melody
Won't you bring him back to me?
Sing to him until he yearns
For when he returns,
No more will he be
A broken hearted melody
Ooooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooooh
I have crossed a thousand bridges
In my search for something real
There were great suspension bridges
Made like spider webs of steel
There were tinny wooden trestles
And there were bridges made of stone
I have always been a stranger and
I've always been alone
There's a bridge to tomorrow
There's a bridge to the past
There's a bridge made of sorrow
That I pray will not last
There's a bridge made of color
In the sky high above
And I pray that there must be
Bridges made out of love
I can see him in the distance
On the river's other shore
And his arms reach out in longing
As my own have done before
And I call across to tell him
Where I believe the bridge must lie
And I'll find it
Yes I'll find it
If I search until I die
When the bridges is between us
We'll have nothing to say
We will run thru the sunlight
And he'll meet me halfway
There's a bridge made of color
In the sky high above
And I know that there must be
I'm feelin' mighty lonesome, haven't slept a wink;
I walk the floor from nine to four, in between I drink
Black coffee - love's a hand-me-down brew.
I'll never know a Sunday in this weekday room.
I'm talkin to the shadow one o'clock till four,
And Lord, how slow the moments go and all I do is pour
Black coffee since the blues caught my eye;
I'm hangin' out on Monday my Sunday dreams to dry.
(Bridge)
Now man is born to come a-lovin',
And a woman's born to weep and fret
To stay at home and tend her oven
And down her past regrets in coffee and cigarettes.
I'm moonin' all the mornin', moanin' all the night
And in between it's nicotine and not much heart to fight.
Black coffee - feelin' low as the ground.
It's drivin' me crazy, this waitin' for my baby
Be a beggar, be a thief,
be my sunshine on my grief,
be anything but darling be mine.
Be a wise man, be a fool,
treat me tender or be cruel,
be anything but darling be mine.
Climb to the top of the ladder,
be master of all you survey,
then and it still doesn't matter,
if you love me, everything's ok.
Be the angel of my prayers,
be the devil who cares,
be anything but darling be mine.
hmmm...
Be anything but darling, please be mine.
hmmm...
Be anything, oh but darling please be mine
Climb to the top of the ladder,
be master of all you survey,
then and it still doesn't matter,
if you love me, everything's ok.
Be the angel of my prayers,
be the devil who cares,
