City sidewalks
Busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling like Christmas
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day
Strings of street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle you hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in they dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning starts together
Proclaim thy holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
A little bit of me and a whole lot of you
Add a dash of starlight and a dozen roses, too
Then let it rise for a hundred years or two
And that's the recipe for making love
It doesn't need sugar 'cause it's already sweet
It doesn't need an oven 'cause it's got a lot of heat
Just add a dash of kisses to make it all complete
And that's the recipe for making love
And if you've made it right you'll know it
It's not like anything you've made before
And if you've made it wrong you'll know it
'Cause it won't keep you coming back for more
I didn't get it from my grandma's book upon the shelf
I didn't get it from a magical and culinary elf
No, a little birdie told me you can't make it by yourself
It's an instumental song.
The toy shop door is locked up tight
And everything is quiet for the night
When suddenly
The clock strikes twelve
The fun's begun
The dolls are in their best array
There's going to be a wonderful parade
Hark to the drum
Oh, here they come
Cries everyone
Hear them all cheering
Now they are nearing
There's the captain stiff as starch
Bayonet's flashing
Music is crashing
As the wooden soldiers march
Sabers a-clinking
Soldiers a-winking
At each little pretty maid
Here they come, here they come
Here they come, here they come
It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Some things that happen for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before and loved before
Only you can make this world seem right
Only you can make the darkness bright
Only you and you alone
Can thrill me like you do
And fill my heart with love for only you
Only you, only you can make this change in me
For it's true you are my destiny
When you hold my hand I understand
The magic that you do
You're my dream come true
My one and only you
Only you, only you can make this change in me
For it's true, oh baby you are my destiny
When you hold my hand I understand
The magic that you do
You're my dream come true
There's a winding crack
Moving through my windshield
Like a vein in my head
The faster I go
The faster it winds
I'll get off the road
When my heart explodes
But not till then
I'm in love again
Given circumstance
I'm bounded by commitment
The whole way around
I usually know when I get to the end
As sure as I stand
The hour hand
Has stopped at ten
I'm in love again
There's an old blue shirt
Hanging in my closet
It's a favorite of mine
One day I looked and it just wasn't there
Now there's a red one
Hanging instead
It happens when
You're in love again
Amen...
I know you so well
I can tell by the sound of your voice
If you're really in love with me
And you are
You are
You know I can't lie
If I say to you 'baby, I love you'
Then baby, I love you
And I do
I do
I do... could it be that's the
Phrase you thought never would phase you
Well baby, you better hold on tight
'cause I'm the one who's supposed to
Kneel down and propose, well alright
I might, I might
So, when I kiss you good-night
Just sleep tight with the thought that you'll
Always be caught up in love with me
And you'll dream that the stars up above
Have the answer of whether we'll be
Or whether we won't be
In love...
Well, we are,
When was I supposed to make my entrance
How was I to know I had a chance
Now here's a guy who really thought he had it all
My heart was holding up the wall so I could dance
The last of my romances has concluded
Wars I've lost and loved have thus been fair
The battle scars I've gained have all alluded
To a decorated soldier of despair
Baby I just had to see you
Your face, your smile
Baby I just had to see you
Just for a while
I ran from love to love and lied with laughter
Not knowing that at some point I'd collide
With someone who would be my ever after
And happily would stay here by my side
Baby I just had to see you
Your face, your smile
Baby I just had to see you
Refrain
SAVOY, THE HOME OF SWEET ROMANCE,
SAVOY, IT WINS YOU AT A GLANCE,
SAVOY, GIVES HAPPY FEET A CHANCE,
TO DANCE.....,
YOUR FORM, JUST LIKE A CLINGIN’ VINE,
YOUR LIPS, SO WARM AND SWEET AS WINE,
YOUR CHEEK, SO SOFT AND CLOSE TO MINE,
DIVINE..........,
HOW MY HEART IS SINGIN’,
WHILE THE BAND IS SWINGIN’,
NEVER TIRED OF ROMPIN’,
AND STOMPIN’ WITH YOU, AT THE SAVOY,
WHAT JOY, A PERFECT HOLIDAY,
SAVOY, WHERE WE CAN GLIDE AWAY,
SAVOY, THERE LET ME STOMP AWAY,
WITH YOU.
Frosted windowpanes
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa's on his way
He's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and me
It's that time of year
When the world falls in love
Ev'ry song you hear seems to say
Merry Christmas
May your New Year dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three-quarter time
Wishes you and yours
My hands are red
Admittedly, the cross is mine
The time is come
Forsake the brine
Alone with the void for a thousand years
I am the first of the reptillian rocketeers
Doom shins its bitter brink
Its goblins casting stench to pave the way
I'm going off to seek the soul
Who'll teach me of the day
A boy will be born in the garden
I'll wait on a patch of green grass
Somehow he'll know to find me there
And place a star upon my crust
We'll trace the crescent's rim
Pawn's pursuit of deliverance
My soul a satchel for musical vim
Blessed be the one
Who needeth tongue
To uncoil her speech
Blessed be the one
Who commandeth silence
Water be still, be still
Blessed be the one
Who hath time
And nay opressing need
Blessed be thine
Kings and queens
Be they born of thee
Blessed be the one
Blessed be the one
I cried all night for Sonny
'Til my eyes were dry
'Til the oceans overflowed
And the Red Sea turned blue
I cried all night for Sonny
I heard he was crying, too
I cried all night for Sonny
We shook hands and said goodbye
His face was etched with sorrow
His heart without a hue
I cried all night for Sonny
I heard he was crying, too
When you try and love two people
You can't love either one
'Cause after a while you'll have to choose
Or else love self denial
I stayed all night with Sonny
Like there'd never be another day
Go on and sleep 'til sunset
And I'll watch over you
I cried all night for Sonny
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories beams from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing hallelujah
Christ the savior is born
S' wonderful! 'S marvelous!
You should care for me!
S' awful nice! 'S paradise!
S' what I love to see!
You've made my life so glamorous
You can't blame me for feeling amorous.
Oh! 'S wonderful! 'S marvelous!
That you should care for me!
S' wonderful! S' marvelous!
That you should care for me!
S' awful nice! S' paradise!
S' what I love to see!
My dear, it's four-leaf clover time
From now on my heart's working overtime.
Oh! S' wonderful! 'S marvelous!
yeah, ooo, yeah, mmm, uhh,oo
Chorus:
Pretty green bud
All in my blood
Ohh, I need it
We can take off -- yeah
Ohh, marijuana -- yeah
Pretty green bud
All in my blood
Ohh, I need it
We can take off -- yeah
Ohh, do you wanna -- smoke?
I, I, I be on it all day love it like the big boy said
Just the only thing that keeps me level up in my crazy head
Stoned on the run run no fun if not its cudi from the hit mail Redman
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list
And checking it twice
Gonna find out
Who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees when you are sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows when you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
The last days in May
Before summer lay claim
Back in the school yard
We made up a game
Now is always
Is always the same
Too bad always always ends
Chorus:
I remember
I remember when
But I was just
Just a boy
Then
Innocent envy
Without compromise
Recommendations
All ill advised
Tall tales
And little white lies
The truth had to bend
Chorus
Now that we're tall
And all grown
A house a car
Lives of our own
We put off
But we can't postpone
The way we become men
Are you ready to party
(Are you ready to party)
I don't think you are
(I don't think you are)
If you were you wouldn't be
Standing there up on the wall
Now bounce that ass
Bounce that ass
Even though she didn't ask it
I know that she wants me (wants me)
But if I let her get on she'll probably
Never get off me (get off me)
Its the way that you feel inside baby
I see it in your eyes baby
Don't even gotta try baby
Its what you do to me
CHOURS
She's automatic ma-ma matic
She's got me coming back
Just like an addict ad-ad-addict addict
Baby if you want it
You can have it ha-ha have it
The way she moves her body
Is automatic ma-ma matic
Automatic ma-ma matic
Are you ready to party
(Are you ready to party)
I don't think you are
(I don't think you are)
If you were you wouldn't be
Standing there up on the wall
Bounce that ass
You probably think I'm fly
From the moment you saw me (saw me)
Saw you watching from the other side
It was killing you softly (softly)
Its the way that you feel inside baby
I see it in your eyes baby
Don't even gotta try baby
Its what you do to me
CHOURS
She's automatic ma-ma matic
She's got me coming back
Just like an addict ad-ad-addict addict
Baby if you want it
You can have it ha-ha have it
The way she moves her body
Is automatic ma-ma matic
Automatic ma-ma matic
Are you ready to party
(Are you ready to party)
I don't think you are
(I don't think you are)
If you were you wouldn't be
Standing there up on the wall
Bounce that ass
BELLY
I guess you just can't find a man you like
I'm so automatic got the standard type
I could take you to where the sand is white
And lay you down till you can't stand up right
I bet he miss you I probably miss you too
I take her from tennis shoes to____ shoes
So mister auto yo
I give her the visuals
Tell them au revoir
Get them screaming oui monsieur
You'll be gone till your friends say oui monsieur
Zoom zoom here's my keys to my beamer coupe
My 16 m 16 a lou??
Get hooked automatic
Cuz I'm a fool
CHOURS
She's automatic ma-ma matic
She's got me coming back
Just like an addict ad-ad-addict addict
Baby if you want it
You can have it ha-ha have it
The way she moves her body
Is automatic ma-ma matic
Automatic ma-ma matic
She's automatic ma-ma matic
She's got me coming back
Just like an addict ad-ad-addict addict
Baby if you want it
You can have it ha-ha have it
The way she moves her body
Is automatic ma-ma matic
O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in they dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning starts together
Proclaim thy holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on earth
Do you hear that whistle down the line?
I figure that it's engine number forty-nine
She's the only one that'll sound that way
On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe
See the old smoke risin 'round the bend
I reckon that she knows she's gonna meet a friend
Folks around these parts get the time of day
From the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe
Here she comes
Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Hey Jim, you'd better get the rig
Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
She's got a list of passengers that's pretty big
And they'll all want lifts to Brown's Hotel
'Cause of lots of them been travelin for quite a spell
All the way from Philadelphia
On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe
When whippoorwills call and evening is nigh,
I hurry to my Blue Heaven.
A turn to the right, a little white light,
Will lead me to my Blue Heaven.
I'll see a smiling face, a fireplace, a cozy room,
A little nest that nestles where the roses bloom;
Just Jilly and me, and baby makes three,
We're happy in my Blue Heaven.
You know I'm gonna see a smiling face, a fireplace, a cozy room,
A little nest that nestles where the roses bloom;
Just Jilly and me, and baby makes three,
We're happy in my Blue Heaven.
He is good
They are happy
He is strong
They are secure
He is right
They are unquestioning
He is wrong
They are demure
When she left
He was tortured
She was gone
They were confused
He was forgetful
They were supportive
He was funny
They were amused
He did things that only superman could do
Things that sis and I could not believe were true
He is older
They are loving
He is hardened
They are grown
He is needing
They are giving
In a way, I really don't know much at all
And if you say that I'm simple, you're on the ball
On the ball to say that I'm going nowhere
But I'm going nowhere with love
They all say that I'm not impressive at best
That's o.k., I've got nobody to impress
My impression is they'd rather be elsewhere
Oh, I'm staying nowhere with love
Well, it's better to be happy in a cardboard shack
Than to be alone in a castle
All you get for your money is a heart attack
I'd just as soon alleviate the hassle
Every day, I watch the go-getters go by
Even they say the ladder is much too high
Why should I go high, I'm happy below there
It had to be you
It had to be you
I wandered around and finally found
The somebody who
could make me be true
Could make me be blue
or even be glad Just to be sad
thinking of you
Some others I've seen.
might never be mean
Might never be cross
or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
Some others I've seen.
might never be mean
Might never be cross
or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
If they asked me I could write a book
About the way you walk and whisper and look
I could write the preface on how we met
So the world would never forget
And the simple secret of the plot
Is just to tell them that I love you a lot
Then the world discovers as my book ends
Mama told me not to try to be nobody
I listened to her
Mama told me I'd grow up to be somebody
Looka here
Savin money's hard when you can't save your soul
I'll get through it
Tryin to dig myself out of this mighty hole
Listen to what I say
Got my mind on the matter
Sure as I tell ya
Now you know that's right
I look down at my hands and
I see labor burns
It's a part of livin
Keepin my feet on the ground while the world turns
It's all on me
Got my mind on the matter
Sure as I tell ya
Come good fortune
Let me love tonight
Pardon me from soulless searching
Spare me for another with a see-through heart
A heart as empty as my hands to be full
Let me love tonight
Come good fortune
Let me feel her skin
Don't deny for which I've hungered
Let me taste her mouth only slightly parted
With lips as full as mine have been denied
Let me love tonight
Come good fortune
Let me say goodbye
With no remorse
Thoughtless, callous
As lovely as she was she'll remain obscured
By the morning sun
But fortune come 'fore the day is done
Pieces of a hole
Unrequited, not renowned
Never sought and never found
Through blood
Through soul
Now unfamiliar
Feelings of good being
Are light that's not worth seeing
Through blood
Through soul
Restless and distorted
Thoughts that underscore my night
Being wrong and seeing right
Through blood
Through soul
Heart beyond repair
All the edges worn and frayed
Magnifying love betrayed
Through blood
It's time to admit you love me
The flush of your cheek betrays
I hear a sigh in your voice
Your every word conveys
It's time to admit you love me
I feel the weight of your gaze
The smile that's mine alone
Your starry eyes sparkle ablaze
It's such a simple thing
How hard can it be
These few words
Endear you to me
It's time to admit I love you
And lift the worry from your brow
Rest your head upon my shoulder
(Instrumental Trio)
I know a girl
Who says she loves me
She says she needs me
And I have reason to believe her
Good reason
Like when we kiss
My eyes won't open
My heart won't listen
And I don't have a word to say
No, not a word
Look, my darling
And you'll hear me sing "I love you"
With my eyes
Let me hold you
Really hold you
Then you'll know my heart
Just can't tell lies
It knows a true love
It knows it's you, love
And it knows that you say
You love me
I spent last night dreaming of your eyes
And your hair kept getting in the way
Your lips dropped in to tell me how you'd been
But when I tried to kiss them
My pillow told me I missed them
Your voice dropped by and sang a lullaby
And it was then I knew just what to do
I'd fall asleep and then
I'd dream of you again
Your voice dropped by and sang a lullaby
And it was then I knew just what to do
I'd fall asleep and then
You'd be so easy to love
So easy to idolize all others above
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep every home fire burning for
We'd be so grand at the game
So happy together that it does seem a shame
That you can't see your future with me
'Cause you'd be so easy to love
If I could give you more
I'd fill the house with flowers
Let you sleep for hours
Throw open the windows and unlock the doors
If I could give you more
If I could give you more
I'd make the streets safe
For every homeless waif
That wanders alone to a foreign shore
If I could give you more
See that you are sainted
Remain true and pure
So that you never get lost
No matter what you may endure
If I could give you more
I'd hand the world a phrase
That could not be erased
And tells of a love that's never been before
Step aside
Step aside
The krewe's gonna take a ride
Better stand behind the barricade
Here comes, here comes, here comes
The big parade
So make way
So make way
That's what the captain say
Down St. Charles and Esplanade
Here comes
The big parade
"Throw me somethin mister"
I wanna dance with your sister
Brass bands marchin by
Throwing notes to the sky
There goes
There goes
Second-liners and flambeaus
I'm feelin even better
Than the day was made
Here comes
Here comes
Here comes
Honestly now...
Either you stand for something
Or you get knocked down for nothing
Sister don't ache too soon
I thought it was understood
By everyone in this room
Who'd ever come up short or won a race
Safety's just danger
...Out of place
Truly now...
People play tricks of the mind
Shadows only follow behind
Sister stay still
I thought it was the nature
Of all on Malvern's Hill
Who'd taken a lead off third base
Safety's just danger
...Out of place
Honestly now...
If fate were to follow fortune
And clarity trail distortion
Sister on alert
Pay close attention
To fingerprints in the dust
And fallen feet that leave no trace
Safety's just danger
...Out of place
Sincerely now...
I requested information
At a roadside station
Sister it seems absurd
To be hammering pith
LIke a poet with a loss for words
Trying to describe an angel's face
Safety's just danger
...Out of place
Honestly now...
Wholly in demand
Coming off second hand
Sister don't unravel
When there's nowhere to go
Except lawless travel
And an end to infinity's space
Safety's just danger
...Out of place
They tried to conquer the world with guns
Like a horde of Huns
That had to be removed
We used a secret weapon
We did it with a groove
They tried to conquer the world with administration
And make one nation
But then they had to move
We made us a home
Built on a groove
They tried to conquer the world with kindness
And blind open-mindedness
Like they had something to prove
They're on their own
Amen, we got the groove
They tried to conquer the world and call it art
So did Bonaparte
Now he hangs in the Louvre
It's not a museum piece
Took a midnight train
Headed way back east
Left behind some pain
In hopes of finding some peace
Fortunately caught one
Bound for my old neighborhood
Either way, between us, it's good
They're building a bridge
Links Manhattan with the heartland
It's called the California ridge
The country needs to expand
Saw them lay the first stone
It was made of wood
Either way, between us, it's good
In an age of greys
When wrong won't become right
Let's lift the haze
And scale the heights
set my shoulders straight
Took a deep breath
This meeting I anticipate
Unlike impending death
Strode on to the platform
And there you stood
They tried to conquer the world with science
And medieval self-reliance
Neither of which behoove
All that's of concern
Is a groove
They tried to conquer the world with blinding flash
Instead reduced it to a solitary ash
While trying to improve
On a ray of light
And a grip on the groove
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
It's you, It's you must go and I must bide
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
It's I'll be here in sunshine, or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
But when ye come and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, and dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me
And I shall hear tho' soft you tread above me
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
Come by me, come talk to me baby
Tell me how we can combine
Will you be my sunshine forever
Will you be a friend of mine
Try me out and if you get excited
Take me home, I'd love to be invited
Once we're there, I'm sure you'll be delighted
We can rock all night
Wait and see, we might fit together
That would be my lucky day
Come by me, come love with me baby
Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled all around, in and out of town
Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled till the butcher cut him down
He rambled through the city
He rambled through the street
Little ol lady pass him said
"look at the market meat!"
Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled all around, in and out of town
Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
Must you dance every dance
With the same fortunate man
You have danced with him since the music began
Why don't you change partners and dance with me
Must you stand quite so close
With your lips touching his face
Can't you see I'm longing to be in his place
Why don't you change partners and dance with me
Ask him to sit this one out
And while you're alone
I'll tell the waiter to tell him
He's wanted on the telephone
You've been locked in his arms
Ever since heaven knows when
Why don't you change partners and then
The sun sets red with rage
White clouds float by
Like high cotton
Blank as an empty page
Blue is a color buried
Not forgotten
Sweet as mother's milk
And clear as the wind
Wrap the dead in a pleat of silk
Blue is the color to be buried in
When you left
Leaving nothing behind
There's no one to blame
No criminal, no crime
You can report a missing person
But not a stolen heart
And I'm missing a person
To whom stealing was an art
The painting's complete
The brush strokes dry
I hear a band playing
A bent note or two
I guess someone died
And just wants to be
And the warden said
"He won't need a cell
He has the key
There's no harsher sentence
The man's doin life
In the first degree"
Some people seek to set blame
Some just accept their part
And now you know why
Booker died of a broken heart
And the priest said
"I can take confession
But not the sin
The church is shelter
Not the faith
Son, that's within"
Some people pray for fortune and fame
Some just play a part
And now you know why
Booker died of a broken heart
And the doctor said
"I can see you're hurt
Just by lookin at you
Pain we can help
But for hurt
There's nothin we can do"
Some people pick up the pieces
Some just leave them apart
And now you know why
I live in a tiny closet
A lukewarm cold water flat
With room for a couple of cinders
A mouse, a hole, and a trap
I don't worry about the flights
Or count the stairs
'Cause I know
Someone's there
I took a high paying sweeping-up job
Dusting after somebody else
Seeing that there's clean on the windows
Convincing the snow to melt
I don't worry about the ride
Or the subway fare
'Cause I know
Someone's there
One day we'll move uptown
Or even out to the country side
And for every leaf on a tree
We'll add one cub to the pride
Who cares if the floor ain't level
Or if the ceiling falls in
Haunted by the devil
And ghosts and boogeymen
I can't be concerned
Why should I care
No place I'd go alone would compare
'Cause I know
I forget what happens on the Fourth of July
Or when the rent is due
Dates and deadlines just float by
But I always remember you
What Colombus set out to discover
Isabelle already knew
There'll be horizons and skylines and other lovers
But I always remember you
If I could rearrange history
And give it to you as a gift
There would be one more movement
In Beethoven's fifth
Why, oh why, in a land of plenty
Some just have to make due
At the end of a breadline with just a penny
The touch of your lips next to mine
Gets me excited, makes me feel fine
The touch of your hand, your sweet hello
The fire inside you when you're holding me close
Your love so warm and tender
The thrill is so divine
It is all these things that make you mine
Make you mine
If you would leave, I surely would die
When you were ten minutes late
I started to cry
I've got it bad, it's all right
As long as you're here every night
Your love so warm and tender
The thrill is so divine
It is all these things, baby, that make you mine
Your love so warm and tender
The thrill is so divine
I'm catchin a plane home
I can feel the wind on my hair
Maybe someone's out there
Someone just as bare
And if somebody stacked the cards
I hope they're stacked for me
You see...
I feel just like a kid on Christmas Eve
You may not know my reason
But I've got reason to believe
My eyes gettin heavy
Hope I can make a bed tonight
I'll go to sleep alone
My true love stays unknown
My life's an open book
And it starts on chapter nine
I'm fine...
A tangled web is easier to weave
You may not know the reason
But I've got reason to believe
I had my fortune told
By a fork tongued lady
She told me I'd amount to what I paid her
I left her feeling worse
Than I did when I came in
And I know more now than I'd find out later
I wish I had an easy mind
And a pretty girl to hold my hand
Seems the closer I get
The water isn't wet
This lonely life of mine
Is the best I've ever had
It's not bad...
My coat's the only thing that's on my sleeve
You may not know my reason
The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk
Are secretly unhappy men because
The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk
Get paid for what they do but no applause
They'd gladly bid their dreary jobs goodbye
For anything theatrical and why
There's no business like show business
Like no business I know
Everything about it is appealing
Everything the traffic will allow
Nowhere could you get that happy feeling
When you are stealing that extra bow
There's no people like show people
They smile when they're low
Even with a turkey that you know will fold
You may be stranded out in the cold
Still you wouldn't change it for a sack of gold
Let's go on with the show
The costumes, the scenery, the makeup, the props
The audience that lifts you when you're down
The headaches, the heartaches, the backaches, the flops
The sheriff that escorts you out of town
The opening when your heart beats like a drum
The closing when the customers won't come
There's no business like show business
Like no business I know
You get word the show has started
That your favorite uncle died at dawn
Top of that your pa and ma have parted
You're broken hearted but you go on
There's no people like show people
They never ever run out of dough
Yesterday they told you you would not go far
That night you opened and there you are
Next day on your dressing room they hung a star
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
HEY, HOBO MAN,
HEY, DAPPER DAN,
YOU'VE BOTH GOT YOUR STYLE,
BUT, BROTHER, YOU'RE NEVER FULLY DRESSED
WITHOUT A SMILE!
YOUR CLOTHES MAY BE BEAU BRUMMELLY-
THEY STAND OUT A MILE,
BUT, BROTHER, YOU'RE NEVER FULLY DRESSED
WITHOUT A SMILE!
WHO CARES WHAT THEY'RE WEARING
ON MAIN STREET OR SAVILLE ROW?
IT'S WHAT YOU WEAR FROM EAR TO EAR,
AND NOT FROM HEAD TO TOE,
THAT MATTERS.
SO, SENATOR,
SO, JANITOR,
SO LONG FOR A WHILE.
REMEMBER YOU'RE
NEVER FULLY DRESSED,
THOUGH YOU MAY WEAR YOUR BEST.
YOU'RE NEVER FULLY DRESSED
WITHOUT A SMILE-
SMILE-
SMILE-
(spoken)
You give your hand to me
Then you say hello
And I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me
Ooh no
You don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
Longs to hold you tight
I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been
Cause you don't know me
For I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too
You give your hand to me
Then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
You'll never never know
The one who loves you so
Well you don't know me
Oh I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too
You give your hand to me
Ten you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
Oh you will never know The one who loves you so
Cause you don't know me
Oh no you don't know me
There's a few things I haven't told you
And before you hear them from someone else
To clear up misconceptions
I'd rather tell you myself
There was a time
I rode a roller coaster
From Coney Island to Key West
I held on with one finger
So the other ten could rest
It may be hard to believe
Hard to comprehend
But baby, you didn't know me when
I played third chair trombone
In an out-of-work polka band
We looked for gigs on ships
In countries that had no land
It may be hard to believe
We hit the top ten
But baby, you didn't know me when
If you want a resume I'll put it in writing
It's only good for a day and the contents are frightening
I gave long-winded speeches
I was a head-of-state
I wrote an endless novel
Called See Jane Love And Hate
It may be hard to believe
I'm reticent
Now is the time
Now is the time for all good men
To get together with one another
Iron out our problems
And iron out our quarrels
And try to live as brothers
And try to find a piece within
Without stepping on one another
And do respect the women of the world
Just remember you all have mothers
Make this land a better land
Than the world in which we live
And help each man be a better man
With the kindness that you give
I know we can make it
I know darn well we can work it out
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we
If we wanna get yes we can can
I know we can make it a world
I know we can make it if we try
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, great, got your money
Yes we can, I know we can can
Take care of the children
The children of the world
They're our strongest hope for the future
The little bitty boys and girls
Make this land a better land
Than the world in which we live
And help each man be a better man
With the kindness that you give
I know we can make it (I know that we can)
I know darn well we can work it out
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we
If we wanna get yes we can can
I know we can make it a world
I know we can make it if we try
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, great, got your money

I've travelled many a mile
And I haven't found a home
I've travelled many a mile
And one seed's unsown
I'll travel another mile
'Til I finally find my own
With imagination
I'll get there
I started with a dream
But came to a decision
I started with a dream
But now I have a mission
I have a goal
To see beyond my vision
With imagination
I'll get there
I've got to be strong [Shannon]
TO CLIMB THE NEXT HILL
I've got to be strong [Russell]
MY FATE TO FULFILL
And from a strength [Leroy]
STRONGER THAN MY WILL
WITH IMAGINATION
I'LL GET THERE
In my father's house
No harsh words are spoken
In my father's house
No vows are broken
In a holy place
My sould like beams oaken
With imagination
I'll get there
When weary is your world
Go and spin another
When weary is your world
There's heaven to discover
Here on earth
We're sister and brother
With imagination
We'll get there
And if I stand alone
To my cause I'm loyal
If I stand alone
Either common or royal
I'm not afraid
To cross their sea of toil
With imagination
I'll get there
With imagination
I'll get there
With imagination
Who's sorry now? Who's sorry now?
Whose heart is achin' for breakin' each vow?
Who's sad and blue, who's cryin' too?
Just like I cried over you
Right to the end, just like a friend
I tried to warn you somehow
You had your way, now you must pay
I'm glad that you're sorry now
Right to the end, just like a friend
I tried to warn you somehow
You had your way, now you must pay
Who can I turn to, when nobody needs me?
My heart wants to know, and so I must go where destiny leads me.
With no star to guide me, and no one beside me.
I'll go on my way and, after the day, the darkness will hide me.
And maybe tomorrow, I'll find what I'm after.
I'll throw out my sorrow, beg, steal, or borrow my share of laughter.
With you I could learn to, with you on a new day.
What child is this who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard
And angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of Mary
Raise, raise the song on high
The Virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
Maybe it's much too early in the game
But I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's eve?
Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year
New Year's eve
Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of a thousand invitations
You received
But in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance
What are you doing New Year's
I only know, what I know
The passing years will show
You kept my love so young
So new
And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
Danny:
Every day I wake up
And then I realize
How much better I was
When you were by my side
Did you ever leave my life (my life)
And now that you're gone
It kills me deep inside
Baby, why don't you come home
I'm trying to figure out
You were taken from my life (my life)
And I don't wanna
Wake up now
Gotta be away to
See your face somehow
If you wanna know why
It's cause I need you in my life (my life)
Chorus (Mia + Danny - fade)
I'm a dream catcher
Dream catcher
Dream catch your love
Let my dream catch ya
Dream catcher
Dream catch your love x 2
I keep a photo of you
Right by my bed side
Never seeing you there
Is ripping me up inside
Did you ever leave my life
And I don't wanna
Wake up now
Gotta be away to
See your face somehow
If you wanna know why
It's cause I need you in my life (my life)
Chorus
Can you catch it, catch it
If I let it fly away
Will you catch it, catch it
If it never comes back
Will you miss it, miss it
Miss it, miss it x 2
Chorus x 2
Catch your love
Catch your love
If your whole life somehow
Wasn't much till now
And you've almost lost
Your will to live
No matter what you've been through
Long as there's breath in you
There is always one more time
If your dreams go bad
Every one that you had
Don't you think that your dreams
Will no, not ever come true, who you
Because it's funny about dreams
Just as strange, just strange as it seems
Because there is always one more time
Turnin' corners
Turnin' corners
Is only a state of mind
Only a state of mind
Keepin' your eyes closed
Keepin' your eyes closed
Is worse than being blind
Worse as being blind
So if there's a heart out there
If there's a heart out there
Lookin' for someone to share
Lookin' for someone to share
I don't care
I don't care
If it's been turned down time and again
Time again
And if we meet some day
Yeah, and if we meet some day
Please don't walk away
No, no don't walk away
'Cause there is always one more time
One more time
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
Yes, you're lovely
With your smile so warm and your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
And the way you look tonight
With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
It touches my foolish heart
Lovely, never ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you just the way you look tonight
With each word you tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And your laugh when wrinkles your nose
It touches my foolish heart
Lovely, never ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it?
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 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

Danny was an old-time Bourbon Street barker
Who wanted the same as Charlie Parker
And always cued-up a ball
Thinking he was one rack away
But even when you run the table
The check still seems small
When it's your last payday
The shallow pocket changer
Who always took advantage of strangers
Tried to make a five-grand grab
With a split second getaway
But he forgot that a bag of money
Ain't worth much on a slab
When it's your last payday
That line about luck just can't be bought
You're always lucky 'til you get caught
Trouble will find you, no need to look
And luck won't help when they close the book
I know a lot of young fellas in here
Especially those on the highest tier
Still want to believe
That Santa comes in a sleigh
They're right about the long white beard
But wrong about Christmas Eve
Hate to think what would happen if I started to drink like you, maybe I would loosen up, so pour me another gin.
Guzzle down, My neck will burn
And as we kiss, And I'm sick in your mouth, I know you want more, Lick my open wounds, And add some ice And choke on my sick vice, Oh God, the lights are on.
Trapped in bed, As the poison slowly creeps, And stops me dead. I should have known better than to cave, Into such fantasies.
Guzzle down, My neck will burn
And as we kiss, And I'm sick in your mouth, I know you want more, Lick my open wounds, And add some ice And choke on my sick vice, Oh God, the lights are on.
I feel better, Now I've seen you
But deep inside, My bones feel like timber, And I am shaking at the tension
oooaaahhh oooaaahhh
oooaaahhh
Everybody's looking for love.Oh.Oh
Ain't that the reason you're at this club.Oh.Oh
You ain't gonna find it dancing with him.No.Oh
Got a better solution for you girl.Oh.Oh
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said
Baby, baby, baby ooh
Like
Baby, baby, baby noo
Like
Baby, baby, baby ohh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)
In my head, I see you all over me.
In my head, you fulfill my fantasy.
In my head, your this criminal
In my head, it's going down
In my head, it's going down.
So, I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
Oh oh
Cause you were Romeo, I was the scarlet letter
And my daddy said, "stay away from Juliet"
But you were my everything to me
I was begging you, please don't go
And I said
Baby, baby, baby ooh
Like
Baby, baby, baby noo
Like
Baby, baby, baby ohh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)
In my head, I see you all over me.
In my head, you fulfill my fantasy.
In my head, your this criminal
In my head, it's going down
In my head, it's going down.
(Luda)
When I was 13, I had my first love
There was nobody compared to my baby
And nobody came between us, no one could ever come above
She had me going crazy, oh I was star-struck,
She woke me up daily, don't need no Starbucks(Woo! )
She made my heart pound, I skip a beat when I see her in the street
And at school on the playground but I really wanna see her on the weekend
She knows she got me dazing cuz she was so amazing
And now my heart is breaking but I just keep on saying...
Baby, baby, baby ohh
Like
Baby, baby, baby noo
Like
Baby, baby, baby ohh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)
In my head, I see you all over me.
In my head, you fulfill my fantasy.
In my head, your this criminal
In my head, it's going down
In my head, it's going down.
Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad
Go pick out a white dress
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Why you
Goin’ to the bayou
She don’t wanna be by you
If you gonna waste the day
Give her
The Mississisppi River
The Mississisppi River
And the voodoo in the vieux carre
She’ll fret
Walkin’ on the banquette
Walkin’ on the banquette
Is too refined for her
Her feet
Need to meet Canal Street
And only on Canal Street
Can she dance
She’s always been partial
To a great grand marshall
She’ll sing a capella
To dance with the man
With that fine umbrella
She’s bored
Sittin’ in the third ward
Sittin’ in the third ward
Is much too slow
Meet her
In a club on St. Peter
And she’ll be a little sweeter
Just go ahead and treat her
You’ll be so in awe
Take her to the Mardi Gras
Play that thing!
Play like you live!
Take it to the street!
Oh yeah, baby!
Fancy
Dinner plans will make he antsy
Anyone who knows her can see
That’s not her thing
She’ll eat
Okra, turkey necks and pigs feet
Okra, turkey necks and pigs feet
And a spicy chicken wing
You’ll say They say
When you see a lady who’ll say You can see them in the treme
Come on laissez bon temps rouler And if she could just see them play
She’s quite a catch It would be the very best day
Step right up That she ever saw
You don’t have to put a fight up Take her to the Mardi
All you need to do is light up Take her to the Mardi
You’ve met your match Take her to the Mardi
Take her to the Mardi Gras
She’ll be in her garters
When she walks down Chartres
Nothing could elate her
Greater than a plat eof
Alligator down Decatur
Her brand
Of a good time is a brass band
Which is very middle class and
I’ve closed the curtains
On many a dawn
And buried my dreams in my bed
Chances most would thrive upon
I’ve frowned upon instead
It may be just a little too late
For me to return to my youth
But I’ve stumbled enough
Along the way to stumble upon the truth
See what happens when you stall
Or when you start too late
Oversleep your wake up call
Or pick a fight with fate
You may find you’ve missed the ball
By waiting at the gate
So as long as life’s too short
Take advantage
Spend your days all turned around
And miss what lies ahead
Have your heart so tightly bound
That not a word is said
If your feet stay on the ground
Then all alive is dead
So as long as life’s too short
Take advantage
How many chances do you get
Before you’re done
Well ask the man, the foolish man
Who had his hands on one
He’ll tell you how he passed it by
It didn’t matter then
But he’d give the whole entire world
To have that chance again
Sometimes what you’re looking for
Is not wrapped up in gold
Miss a certain glance and you’re
Without a hand to hold
Some don’t find out what’s in store
Until they’re far too old
So as long as life’s too short
So as long as life’s too short
Because I was afraid to speak
When I was just a lad
My father gave my nose a tweak
And told me I was bad
But then one day I learned a word
That saved my achin' nose
The biggest word You ever heard
And this is how it goes: Oh!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay!
I've traveled all around the world
And everywhere I went
I'd use my word and all would say
"There goes a clever gent"
When Dukes and maharajas
Pass the time of day with me
I say my special word and then
They ask me out to tea
Oh..
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay!
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay!
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay!
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay!
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay!
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay!
So when the cat has got your tongue
There's no need for dismay
Just summon up this word
And then you've got a lot to say
But better use it carefully
Or it can change your life
One night I said it to my girl
And now my girl's my wife!
Oh..
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
We lived our little drama
We kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama
Last night
I can't forget the glamor
Your eyes held a tender light
And stars fell on Alabama
Last night
I never planned in my imagination
A situation so heavenly
A fairy land where no one else could enter
And in the center, you and me, dear
My heart beats just like a hammer
My arms wound around you tight
And the stars fell on Alabama
Last night
I never planned in my imagination
A situation so heavenly
A fairy land where no one else could enter
And in the center, you and me, dear
My heart beats like a hammer
Your arms wound around me tight
And stars fell on Alabama
Oh, they fell last night
Oh yeah, my arm's around you
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadow of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart
You wandered down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now a stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely nights dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
Now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
Beside the garden wall
When stars are bright you are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
Beside the garden wall
When stars are bright you are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it always will remain
My stardust melody
How soon I will delight
How straight and good
Scorched by vibrant core
I'll sprinkle scrapings
Upon the lapping blue
No sooner than I return
Will my fruit turn the stink into sweet
The blue into yellow and green
Time home will quicken
And time spent be saved
The dust from my duty
Will remain in my satchel
I think... forever
I went down to the St. James Infirmary
I found my baby there
She was stretched out on a long, white table.
So calm, so cool, so bare
Let her go, I said, let her go, may God bless her
Wherever she may be.
Well, she could search this whole wide world over, yeah
But she'll never find a sweet man like Harry.
Now, when I die, I wanna be buried
In a box with a black coat and a stetson hat
I want a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain,
So all the boys would know I died standing pat.
Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it, Jesus, if you please
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
Oh I.. I am weak, but Thou art strong, Thou art strong
Keep me Jesus, from all wrong
I’ll be satisfied just as long
Just as long, as you walk, close to me.
Now folks, this is the end of my story
Bartender, pass me another bottle of booze
If anyone should ever ask you,
Some enchanted evening
You may see a stranger,
you may see a stranger
Across a crowded room
And somehow you know,
You know even then
That somewhere you'll see her
Again and again.
Some enchanted evening
Someone may be laughin',
You may hear her laughin'
Across a crowded room
And night after night,
As strange as it seems
The sound of her laughter
Will sing in your dreams.
Who can explain it?
Who can tell you why?
Fools give you reasons,
Wise men never try.
Some enchanted evening
When you find your true love,
When you feel her call you
Across a crowded room,
Then fly to her side,
And make her your own
Or all through your life you
May dream all alone.
Once you have found her,
Never let her go.
Once you have found her,
Smile tho' your heart is aching,
Smile
Even though it's breaking,
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by,
If you
Smile through your fear and sorrow,
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through- For you.
Light up your face with gladness,
Hide ev'ry trace of sadness,
Altho' a tear may be ever so near,
That's the time you must keep on trying,
Smile- What's the use of crying,
You'll find that life is still worthwhile,
Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing
Ring ting tingle-ing too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "You Hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap let's go
Let's look at the snow
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with the song of a wintry fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take the road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop
Pop! Pop! Pop!
There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives
I met her... but I never thought
She'd belong to me
I just wanted someone I could sing to
Who'd listen to every song
Oh, I just wanted someone I could cling to
Cling to all night long
So I kissed her... but I never thought
She'd belong to me
And when I felt her lips I skipped a heartbeat
'Cause I was so in love with this girl
Oh, and how many times does your heart meet
The most beautiful girl in the world
So I thought and thought about her
I just couldn't stop thinking about her
And I died when she called me up and said
She couldn't stop thinking about me
Now she loves me... but I never thought
She'd belong to me
Now guys are calling wanting to be boyfriends
But they're going to have to answer to me
Oh, 'cause I'm going to tell all those toy friends
That she belongs to me
So I thought and thought about her
I just couldn't stop thinking about her
And I died when she called me up and said
She couldn't stop thinking about me
Now she loves me... but I never thought
She'd belong to me
Now guys are calling wanting to be boyfriends
But they're going to have to answer to me
Oh, 'cause I'm going to tell all those toy friends
Lay a hand
Upon the water
Well within, well within
Wash away
To fair morrow
Ride ahead, ride ahead
Make your mark
Upon the rock
For another one
Ashes tell tales
Fire gives faith
Burn it up burn it up
Burn it up burn it up
She would waste not, not in struggle
No other shall there ever be
And what she is to love, listen oh my brother
Is as the wind to mercury
Don't you pray
Of a heartless town
Or you'll be forced to flee
Don't you live
In a soulless city
Or you'll have to leave
You don't need
No place of birth
Hither to come home
Many a night
Were you ready for your bed
But your bed not ready for you
She would give of herself
And ask not return or eternity
And what she'd offer, listen oh my brother
Is as the wind to mercury
And she'd hold not, of another man
No other shall there ever be
And whom she would hold
Listen oh my brother
Come with me, and you'll be in, a world of pure imagination
Take a look, and you'll see, into your imagination.
We'll begin, with a spin, traveling in the world of my creation.
What we'll see, will defy explanation.
If you want to view paradise
Well, simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
You can even eat the dishes
Who can take a sunrise
Sprinkle it with dew
Cover it in chocolate and a miracle or two
The Candy Man
Mmmm, the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good
Who can take a rainbow
Wrap it in a sigh
Soak it in the sun and make strawberry-lemon pie
The Candy Man
Ooooh, The Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good
The Candy man makes
Everything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious
Talk about your childhood wishes
You can even eat the dishes
Yes...
The Candy man makes
Everything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious
Talk about your childhood wishes...
Wanna change the world?
There's nothing to it.
There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination.
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly wish to be.
Promise me you'll remember
This love together today
We may not have tomorrow
It's not for us to say
Fate isn't kind to lovers
It breaks the hardest hearts
Promise you'll remember
How good we are
Why do I find the sadness
Under your sweetest kiss
Destiny seems to whisper
It won't stay like this
Whenever we're together
I feel time standing still
I only know I love you
And I always will
If we should lose each other
Somewhere inside the dark
Promise me you'll remember
How good we are
Whenever we're together
I feel time standing still
I only know I love you
And I always will
If we should lose each other
Somewhere inside the dark
Promise me you'll remember
How good we are
Time isn't kind to lovers
It breaks the hardest hearts
Promise me you'll remember
Bells will be ringing the glad, glad news
Oh what a christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone (my baby's gone) I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again
Choirs will be singing silent night
Those christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for christmas (please come home)
Please come home for christmas (please come home)
If not for christmas by new year's night
Friends and relations send salutations
Just as sure as the stars shine above (yes they do)
This is christmas, christmas my dear
The time of year to be with the one that you love
Then won't you tell me, you'll never more roam
Christmas and new year (christmas and new year's)
Will find you at home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief or pain
Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high.
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue.
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star and
wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
Away above the chimney tops.
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then - oh, why can't I?
Why then - oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow,
Who are you in the other hours
When your hair's undone
And your guard's let down
When you're all alone in your all nightgown
Are you the life of the party then?
Sitting by yourself, again
Where are you in the other hours
Are you in a secret place that calls
When you're by yourself with in your walls
Are you undressed with someplace to go
Off to catch your private show
Why do you greet the morning
Draping your heart in a shroud
Why must your life be a sideshow
Played to an ignorant crowd
How are you, in the other hours
Do you pray for morning to arrive
Do you wonder how you can stay alive
Are you at peace in a troubled mind
Hoping no one else would find
You're only playing dumb
'til the other hours come
[piano]
Who do you think you're fooling
Turning your face from the light
Clearly you're turning to something
that are revealed by the night
What are you in the other hours
Are you queen of some abandoned song
Thinking how your crown of jewels had shone
You're sitting there with no one to reign
You think no one sees your pain
And no one hears your drum
Once
Is all I'll need to show you
Love making is an art
But once-made love
Won't be nearly enough
Once
I win your heart
Once
Upon a timeless romance
Love often was denied
But a thousand knights
Couldn't take me away
Once
I'm at your side
The world gets bigger as you look behind
Pouring in when you leave
You'll miss where you're going if you stare
I hope you're next to me
Watching it all go by
You'd get lost in all that world
Once
Just comes once in a lifetime
Then it becomes ago
All I ask is to kiss your lips
Once
And then you'll know
Once
I have often walked down this street before
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before
All at once am I several stories high
Knowing I'm on the street where you live
Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour out of every door?
No, it's just on the street where you live
And oh, the towering feeling just to know
Somehow you are near
The overpowering feeling that any second
You may suddenly appear
People stop and stare, they don't bother me
For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be
Let the time go by, I don't care if I can be here
On the street where you live
And oh, the towering feeling just to know
Somehow you are near
An overpowering feeling that any second
It may suddenly appear
People stop and stare, baby, they don't bother me
For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be
Let the time go by, I won't care if I can be here
On the street where you live
Baby, I won't care if I can be
Yo Shawn
The wait is over
Yes it is
Yo bro
Tell them what it is
We party night till dawn
Everyone grab a drink
And get your party on
Everything that you want
You know that
You know we got it got it
You know that we got it got it
Turn up the music loud
Ain't no way to describe
The way we're feeling now
Steady rocking the dancefloor
You know
You know we got it got it
You know that we got it got it
Chorus
Hey can you feel it
We gon' forget about time
We gon' lose it to 9'
Hey if you feel it
Throw your hands up right now
Party till the night time
Sweat dripping on the floor
Everybody doing things
You've never seen before
Everything that you want
You know that
You know we got it got it
You know that we got it got it
Breaking down the walls
Body's are rocking
There is no stopping us at all
DJ keep it coming
You know
You know we got it got it
You know that we got it got it
Chorus
Bridge
Everybody feeling right
Everybody in their five
Tell you what you gonna do
Don't stop, don't talk, just move x 2
Oh! ain’t that sweet
It’s so delightful when two
Rightful lovers meet
Oh! ain’t that sweet
When hand in hand they finally
And in paradise
Oh! ain’t that cool
When cupid’s arrow hits
The marrow of a fool
For better or for worse
For poorer or for rich
They’ll never know a curse
And they’ll never feel an itch
They’re in love and ain’t that sweet
Oh! ain’t that great
They intertwine
The stars align to tell their fate
Oh! ain’t that grand
They’ll sail along
They a-got a song to beat the band
Oh! Ain’t that good
It’s so appealing when you’re feeling understood
Love is hard to find
And harder still to keep
But with two hearts combined
They’re bound to fall too deep
They’re in love
And ain’t that sweet
Oh! Aint’ that good
It’s so appealing when you’re feeling understood
Love is hard to find
And harder still to keep
But with two hearts combined
They’re bound to fall too deep
They’re in love
Oh, my dear
Something’s gone wrong
Oh, my dear
Something’s gone wrong
The wheel is now unmanned
Our direction isn’t planned
Something’s gone terribly wrong
We have here
A bad affair
Which I fear
We must beware
The caution that we’ve thrown
To the wind is being blown
Something’s gone terribly wrong
The end of the road
Going nowhere
Is the start of the road going back
And I don’t usually go where
The end of the rainbow is black
We appear
To have confused
Love sincere
And love abused
We played beneath a moon
That seemed to know our tune
A melody of chance
That beckoned us to dance
Now you desire a different song
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine, O night divine
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by his cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here came the wise men from the orient land
The King of king’s lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend
He knows our need
Our weakness no stranger
Behold your King
Before him lowly bend
Behold your King before him lowly bend
Truly he taught us to love one another
His law is love and his gospel is peace
Chains shall he break for the slave is our brother
And in his name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise his holy name
Christ is the Lord
Oh praise his name forever
His pow’r and glory
Ever more proclaim
O Come All Ye Faithful
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of Angels;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
O Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing all that hear in heaven God's holy word.
Give to our Father glory in the Highest;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
All Hail! Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning,
O Jesus! for evermore be Thy name adored.
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging;
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging;
Not only green when summer's here,
But also when 'tis cold and drear.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
How often has the Christmas tree
Afforded me the greatest glee!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!
From base to summit, gay and bright,
There's only splendor for the sight.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee!
Thou bidst us true and faithful be,
And trust in God unchangingly.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
I see my own reflection in the window
I hear the people carry'n on below
I know the one I love is out there somewhere
To me that somewhere's not far to go
Ev'ry year I make my resolution
To find my love and make her all my own
But it looks like she decided not to show again
And I'll be singing 'Auld Lang Syne' alone
People grow accustomed to their lifestyles
It's easier to settle in your ways
I wish that I had someone to get used to
To settle down until my dying days
Nothin' new for new year for me
Nothin' new for new year for me
All I wanted was an angel that I don't expect to see
Nothin' new for new year for me
It don't mean nothing if you're crying all the time
And there's no one there to see your tears
And it don't mean nothing if you're passing up your prime
And I been passing mine for years
And so, to my reflection in the window
I'll raise my glass and make a toast to you
I've never known a man to be heartbroken
My someone that he never even knew
Nothin' new for new year for me
Nothin' new for new year for me
All I wanted was an angel that I don't expect to see
Seven days a week
Ev'ry week of the month
And ev'ry month of the year
He's got us making presents
And I'm happy
Ev'ry girl and boy
Gets their own kind of toy
We like to fill 'em with joy
We're workin' over time
To make 'em happy
Then on Christmas eve
We jump on big red's sleigh
We don't miss a chimney
On our jolly way
We won't stop until
Every kid gets a fill
Of Santa's brand of good will
The thrill of spilling cheer
Just makes us happy
So, if you've been good yourself
You might see the happy elf
Stop by your house and make
You very happy
The happy elf
I'm the happy elf
I'm the happy elf and I just might stop on by
The happy elf
I'm the happy elf
I'm the happy elf and I just might stop on by
I'm Santa's spy!
