Benjamin Earl King (born September 28, 1938), better known as Ben E. King, is an American soul singer. He is perhaps best known as the singer and co-composer of "Stand by Me," a U.S. Top 10 hit in both 1961 and 1986 and a #1 hit in the UK in 1987, and as one of the principal lead singers of the R&B vocal group The Drifters.
King was born Benjamin Earl Nelson on September 28, 1938 in Henderson, North Carolina, and moved to Harlem, New York, at age 9.
In 1958, King (still using his birth name) joined a doo wop group called The Five Crowns. Later in 1958, The Drifters' manager George Treadwell fired the members of the original Drifters, and replaced them with The Five Crowns. King had a string of R&B hits with the group on Atlantic Records. He co-wrote and sang lead on the first Atlantic hit by the new version of the Drifters, "There Goes My Baby" (1959). He also sang lead on a succession of hits by the team of Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, including "Save the Last Dance for Me," "This Magic Moment," and "I Count the Tears." King only recorded thirteen songs with The Drifters—ten lead vocal performances and three backing other lead singers—including a non-single called "Temptation" (later redone by Drifters vocalist Johnny Moore).

Save the last dance for me (cover) Acoustic/slide/bass with vocals
I want to know, know, know, know, know
(How can I forget)
I've got to know, know, know, know, know
(How can I forget)
How could I forget
(Forget her)
When I was lonely, she chased away
The little girl chased away all of my blues
When I was down and out
She went somewhere and bought me
She brought me a brand new pair of shoes
So tell me, tell me, tell me
(How can I forget)
How, how, how, how
(How can I forget)
How could I forget
(Forget her)
Yesterday she left for somebody new
My friends all say forget her
Go out and do the same they do
But how when her kisses still lingers on my lips
And my cheeks, ask for her finger tips
Since she's been gone, I can't sleep at night
And since she's been gone, I can't eat or bite
Oh, so tell me, tell me, tell me
(How can I forget)
How, how, how, how, how
(How can I forget)
How can I forget
(How can I forget)
I wanna know how can I forget
(How can I forget)
And I've got to know, I've for got know
How can I forget
(How can I forget)
I've got to know somebody help me forget my baby, baby, baby
(How can I forget)
How can I forget, forget, forget
River Of Tears
Ben. E. King
It seems that I just cant win
Ive been hurt time and time again
Every time I give my heart somebody tears it all apart
Through the years, lord knows I must have shed a river of tears
I tried to be fair in every way
Id even ignored, yes, I have, things that people say
Oh, still Im lonely and all alone
Ive got no one I can call my own
Through the years I know I must have shed a river of tears
A river of tears, oh, how I yearned, yeah
Tears that flow
Somebody tell me what Im doing wrong
Isnt there anyone I can depend on
Through the years I know I must have shed a river of tears
A river of tears, oh, how Ive yearned, yes, I have
Tears that flow
oh, how Ive yearned
Talking bout
talkin bout a river
Talkin bout a river
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 theres 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
~interlude~
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 no where 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,
Many a tear has to fall
But its all in the game
All in the wonderful game
That we know as love
You have words with him
And your futures looking dim
But these things your heart can rise above
Once in a while he wont call
But its all in the game
Soon hell be there at your side
With a sweet bouquet
And hell kiss your lips
And caress your waiting fingertips
And your heart will fly away
When the night has come, and the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we will see
No, I won't be afraid, oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So darlin', darlin' stand by me
Oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't she'd a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin', darlin' stand by me
Oh stand by me
Whoa stand now, stand by me, stand by me
*Solo*
And darlin', darlin' stand by me
Oh stand by me
Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh stand by me
Whoa stand now, oh stand, stand by me...
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh stand by me
Whoa stand now, oh stand, stand by me...
(Words and Music by Jerry Leiber and Phil Spector)
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
It is a special one, it's never seen the sun
It only comes out when the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming
It's growing in the street right up through the concrete
But soft and sweet and dreamin'
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
With eyes as black as coal that look down in my soul
And starts a fire there and then I lose control
I have to beg your pardon
I'm going to pick that rose and watch her as she grows in my garden
I'm going to pick that rose and watch her as she grows in my garden
(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)
This is my last letter
Dear, to you
This is my last letter, baby
I just can't write you anymore
My poor little finger's swollen
I'm tired of pacing the floor, yes, I am
Threw away our favorite record
It was tearing me apart
This is my seventh letter, baby
Just to satisfy my heart
(One) Monday, I wrote and told you
I was all alone and blue
(Two) Tuesday, I wrote again, baby
I said I loved no one, no one
No one but you, no, I don't
(Three) Wednesday, I wired you a cable
Begging you to call
(Four) Thursday, I sent the message
I said I was wrong and, darling
Please come back home
(Five) Friday, I woke up crying
With the sniff of a tear
(Six) come along long lonesome Saturday
I did the same thing all over again
Yes, I did
(Seven) this is my seventh letter, baby
On this bright Sunday morning
Just got off my knees from praying
I said, Oh, Lord, oh, Lord
Please send her back home
Can't she hear me talking to her
(This is my last letter
Dear, to you)
Seven letters, seven days
Seven long, lonely days
There, I said it
(This is my last letter
Dear, to you) yes, it is
Yes, it is, yes, it is
You can dance-every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye,let him hold you tight
You can smile-every smile for the man
Who held your hand neath the pale moonlight
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin' save the last dance for me
Oh I know that the musics fine
Like sparklin' wine,go and have your fun
Laugh and sing,but while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin' save the last dance for me
Baby don't you know I love you so
Can't you feel it when we touch
I will never never let you go
I love you oh so much
You can dance,go and carry on
Till the night is gone
And it's time to go
If he asks if you're all alone
Can he walk you home,you must tell him no
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darling,save the last dance for me
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darling,save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me
( Chorus
)That's when it hurts
Yeah, oh, oh, yeah
That's when it hurts, ooh
You don't kiss me like you used to do
You don't miss me, darling
Darling, darling, darling when the night is through
So I sit at home turn off the light, here comes the night
(Chorus
)That's when it hurts
I'm going downtown to Joey's place and I know that, darling
I'm gonna walk right in and I'll see your face
Yes, you'll be dancing with someone new, here comes the pain
(Chorus
) That's when it hurts
Then you're gonna see me sitting all alone, baby, at a corner table
And I'll be sitting there smiling, honey, sitting over there somewhere by myself
smoking a cigarette
Then you're gonna feel that you'll have to come over
and say something real nice to me
Oh, baby, that's when my eyes will get wet
Then I'll walk out the door and I'll walk a-back home
Take the same street that we used to take when we walked alone
Then I'll see your friends all pitying me
Whoa, their sympathy
(Chorus
)
That's when it hurts
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
That's when it hurts
Yeah, yeah
It hurts, it hurts, oh, yeah
That's when it hurts
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
That's when it hurts
Yeah, yeah
It hurts, it hurts, oh, yeah
Tears, Tears, Tears
Ben E. King
Just before the sun is ready to say goodnight
And the moon comes out of hiding to share its light
I think about the things we used to do
The way you held me when our love was new
But its no use in going back thru the years
Theres nothing left for me but tears, tears, tears, tears
Everywhere I go it seems I see your smiling face
( smiling face
)
But when I get home theres nothing but empty space
That single cigarette we used to share
The time we wasted when I thought you cared
How can I face this life without you near
A life that only holds tears, tears, tears, tears
Whod ever thought we would be going, going our separate ways
We promised love forever but where, oh, where is love today... ( love today
)
Do, do, do, do
.
Darling if youd ever change your mind
Come back and we will leave the past behind
Ill wipe away your doubt, dispel all your fears
But please dont leave me here with tears, tears, tears, tears
But even though my heart is breaking I wish you love
May you find the happiness that we both dreamed of
Do, do, do, do
Your love, your love
Supernatural thing
Your love, your love
Supernatural thing, oh, babe
Your love (your love, your love)
Supernatural thing (supernatural)
Oh, baby (supernatural)
Your love, your love
(Your love, your love)
Supernatural thing (supernatural)
Mmm, baby (supernatural)
When we touch, you give me such
A funny feeling in my brain
I'm so possessed by your love
Sometimes I don't even know my name
When we kiss
You know you make me hot
I break out sometimes
In little bitty green spots
You give me
Give me all you got
Don't stop it, baby
'Cause I need a lot
Your love (your love, your love)
Lord, it's a supernatural thing
(Supernatural) oh, woman
(Supernatural)
Your love, your love
(Your love, your love)
Supernatural thing (supernatural)
Mmm hmm (supernatural)
Interplanetary, extraordinary love
(Interplanetary) what you say
(Extraordinary) hey (supernatural)
I like it (supernatural) listen
Interplanetary, extraordinary love
(Interplanetary) I like it
(Extraordinary) like the way you love me
(Supernatural) oh, baby (supernatural)
You give me cosmic feeling
Every time that I squeeze you
You love is so electrifying
So satisfying
Lord knows I ain't lying
Your love (your love, your love)
Supernatural thing (supernatural)
Oh, woman (supernatural)
Your love (your love, your love)
Lord, it's a supernatural thing
(Supernatural) what you say
Living on the city street tough
Living on the city street tough
Living on the city street tough
When you're street tough
You came down the ups and downs of life turnin' you round
You got to keep on moving on
Places you know, people you see thats where you find
The answers to survive, learning things as you go
And now you're traveling down the path
Of life where only fools dare to go
And even though you're losing
You know you just can't let it show
When you're street tough
You got to learn to be strong
When you're street tough
You got to take care of your own
Street tough
Win or lose live or die
Street tough
When you're street tough
And through the years you hold your tears
You have to face, you got to to survive
Doing the things you got to do, you know you're better
If you want to stay alive (stay alive)
You're traveling down the path
Of life where only fools dare to go
And even though you're losing
You know you just can't let it show
When you're street tough
You got to try for yourself
When you're street tough
You got to fight like hell to get somewhere
Street tough
There's nobody out there who really cares
Street tough
Lord, when you're street tough
Living on the city street tough
And now you're traveling down the path
Of life where only fools dare to go
And even though you lose sometimes
You just can't let it show
When you're street tough
Living on the city street tough
Living on the city street tough
Living on the city street tough
Round and round the chances go
Where you'll stop nobody knows
When you're street tough
Lord, when you're street tough
Whats right for you is wrong for them
Don't wanna hurt nobody but you got to make it for yourself
When you're street tough

So I don't have to dream alone
Dream lover, where are you
With a love oh so true
And a hand that I can hold
To feel you near when I grow old?
(Repeat chorus)
(Bridge:)
Someday--I don't know how
I hope you'll hear my plea
Some way--I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me
Dream lover, until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
Until my lover's dreams come true
I wake up weeping from my sleeping den
Oh, I wanna fall asleep again
But the memory of her burning skin
Uummhh, keeps me yearning
You know Im yearning
Oh, oh, oh oh, oh, you gypsy, you heartbreaking gypsy
Gypsy will you ever come home
Another drink, another cigarette
Lord, Id try anything to forget
But the memory of her burning touch
Uummh, just keeps on returning, just keeps returning
Oh, oh, oh, oh you gypsy, you heartbreaking gypsy
I said gypsy wont you ever come home
Whos gonna kiss my eyes, my eyes, my eyes, gypsy like you do
Whos gonna tell me lies, sweet lies, sweet lies
and make me believe theyre true
I miss her morning kiss when I wake up
I look and I see her face there in my coffee cup
I didnt know what a-loneliness was
Baby, baby, baby, I said Im learning
You know Im learning
Oh, oh, oh, oh you gypsy, you heartbreaking gypsy
I said gypsy wont you ever come home
Listen to me darling, I said a-gypsy, I said a heartbreaking gypsy
I said, a-darling, wont you ever come home
Say, Im a-lonely, Im a-lonely, a-little
I said a-gypsy, I said a heartbreaking gypsy
I said baby just, just come on home
Hear me when I said, I said now oh gypsy
Gypsy, gypsy, heartbreaking gypsy
Gypsy wont you ever come home
Mmm, the very first time you kissed me it was so thrilling
What made it so great was I knew that your heart was willing
I never thought that I'd give love a try
Then you came a-walking by and gave me my first taste of love
Mmm, the very first time you held me it was so nice
I finally found this place they call paradise
Oh, I was such a sad and lonely guy
Then you came a-walking by and gave me my first taste of love
Your lips upon my lips, your arms around my waist
How can I forget that first date...
Mmm, so keep your head on my shoulder
Stay real close, baby, don't let go
Don't think of tomorrow let's live for tonight
Because I love you so
You see that love light gleaming in my eyes
Swear it's gonna never die
'Cause I've got my first taste of love
Swear it's gonna never die
'Cause I've got my first taste of love
Swear it's gonna never die
'Cause I've got my first taste of love
Swear it's gonna never die

interplanetary - i like it - extraordinary
now when you love me - supernatural - oh babe - supernatural
Listen, interplanetary, oh extraordinary, ooh
interplanetary - i like it - extraordinary
surely i like it - supernatural - baby - supernatural
Too bad for me, too bad
I'll be your fool again
Because I love you, yes, I do
You're now with someone new
While I wait in vain for you
It's too bad, too bad
My heart must pay
You know I've thought of you
Holding him tenderly
Telling him things you told to me
I know it was all wrong, my sweet
I wonder what's come over you
It's too bad, too bad
But I must pay
You didn't mind not seeing me
Every, every, every day
Oh, waiting weeks by the telephone
I'm sorry for the way
I mistreated you
You were all alone
It's sad, my dear, it's sad
I'm sure we're both to blame
Some day again our hearts will meet
Until that day comes
I'll leave you in his arms
And I'll say too bad
But I must pay
And I'll say too bad
But I must pay
Baby, baby, baby
It's bad but I must pay
And I know, I know that it's
Terrible, terrible, darling
But I've got to pay
Baby, and it's bad, bad...
Na,na,na,na,na,na late at nite
Na,na,na,na,na,na late at nite
I have counted everyday since you've been away
It seemed like a thousand years
and at na,na,na,na,na,na,late at night
na,na,na,na,na,na late at night
I'll sit and count the tears
I have counted all your lies all your alibis
I'm a guy believes just what he hears
and at na,na,na,na,na,na,late at night
na,na,na,na,na,na,late at night
I'll sit and count the tears
She's gone and found somebody new
He may be happy now but soon
He'll be counting everyday that she's been away
It'll seem like a thousand years
and at na,na,na,na,na,na,late at night
na,na,na,na,na,na,late at night
He'll sit and count his tears
He'll sit and count his tears
He'll sit and count his tears
He'll sit....and count his tears
( Chorus
)That's when it hurts
Yeah, oh, oh, yeah
That's when it hurts, ooh
You don't kiss me like you used to do
You don't miss me, darling
Darling, darling, darling when the night is through
So I sit at home turn off the light, here comes the night
(Chorus
)That's when it hurts
I'm going downtown to Joey's place and I know that, darling
I'm gonna walk right in and I'll see your face
Yes, you'll be dancing with someone new, here comes the pain
(Chorus
) That's when it hurts
Then you're gonna see me sitting all alone, baby, at a corner table
And I'll be sitting there smiling, honey, sitting over there somewhere by myself
smoking a cigarette
Then you're gonna feel that you'll have to come over
and say something real nice to me
Oh, baby, that's when my eyes will get wet
Then I'll walk out the door and I'll walk a-back home
Take the same street that we used to take when we walked alone
Then I'll see your friends all pitying me
Whoa, their sympathy
(Chorus
)
That's when it hurts
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
That's when it hurts
Yeah, yeah
It hurts, it hurts, oh, yeah
That's when it hurts
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
That's when it hurts
Yeah, yeah
It hurts, it hurts, oh, yeah
rbkbsbdfbr
To you
My heart cries out "Perfidia"
For I find you, the love of my life
In somebody else's arms
Your eyes are echoing "Perfidia"
Forgetful of the promise of love
You're sharing another's charms
With a sad lament my dreams are faded like a broken melody
While the gods of love look down and laugh
At what romantic fools we mortals be
And now, I know my love was not for you
And so I take it back with a sigh
Perfidious one, Goodbye
With a sad lament my dreams are faded like a broken melody
While the gods of love look down and laugh
At what romantic fools we mortals be
And now, I know my love was not for you
And so I take it back with a sigh
Perfidious one, goodbye
Goodbye
Baby, baby, baby
Jamaica, oh Jamaica,
Little island shining in the sea,
There's a dark-eyed girl who's waiting,
Yes, she's waiting just for me.
Oh, in Jamaica, oh, Jamaica,
Where the gentle trade winds blow,
Once I'll hold her in my arms again,
I'll never ever ever ever let her go.
Never more will I travel
And no more will I roam,
Captain, weigh your anchor chain
And set your sails for home,
To Jamaica, oh Jamaica,
Little island I've been dreaming of,
I can't wait to reach that golden beach
Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
Were after the same rainbows end, waitin' round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me
(moon river, wider than a mile)
(I'm crossin' you in style some day)
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after that same rainbows end, waitin' round the bend
On the horizon out where the ocean greets the sky
On the horizon I saw a ship go sailing by
This was the ship that Id often dreamed of
A ship made of gold with a golden sail above
This was the ship that I dreamed would someday bring my love
On the horizon out where the lonely seagulls cry
On the horizon my ship of dreams came sailing by
Sailing to me with this cargo so rare...
It kept comin closer and closer I swear
Closer and closer til I woke up and found you there
When I was a seeker
I sought both night and day
I asked the Lord to help me
And he showed me the way
He made me a watchman
Upon the city Wall
And if i am a christian
I am the least of all.
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and ev'rywhere
Go Tell it on the mountain
In the midst of all my darkness, baby
You came along to guide me
You took pity on a lonely man
When you said you'd stand beside me
I'll never forget you
For what you've done
I'll never turn my
Back on you for everyone
I've got so much love to give
Baby, I've got so much love to give
Girl, there's more than enough
To last a whole life through
And it's all for you
My world was cold and empty
And my life was so unfilling
When I needed someone to pick me up
Ooh, girl, you were, oh, so willing
Now to you, that might
Seem like a little thing
But to me, it's like changing
Winter to spring
And I've got so much love to give
Baby, I've got so much love to give
Girl, there's more than enough
To last a whole life through
And it's all for you
There's so few women nowadays
Who understand the soul of a man
They're always on the taking end
Never giving, never offering
A helping hand
But, baby, I can count on you
Whenever trouble calls
You see me through
You show your love, girl
In so many ways
And I'm gonna love you
The rest of my days
Oh, and I've got so much love to give
Baby, I've got so much love to give
Girl, there's more than enough
To last a whole life through
And it's all for you
(So much love) so much love
(So much love) so much love
(So much love) I've got so much love
Outside her window
That's where I am
Every night and every day
And outside her window
I cry my life away
There's a jukebox playing
Just a half a block down
Saying I'm going to the river
Gonna jump right in and drown
But I ain't gonna do that, girl
No, no, I'll just on hanging around
Even though it's (all over)
Can't you hear me (all over)
Don't you leave me (it's all over)
(Now, now, now, now, now, now)
(Now, now, now, now, now, now)
Outside her window
A pretty bird come to play
And I know I cried, I cried a tear
I must have scared that pretty little thing
That pretty little thing away, yes, I did
When I see two young lovers
Walking down the street, yes, indeed
Whoa, how it kills me
When I see their two lips meet
Then I pass my hand right over
Where my heart once used to be
And you know it's (all over)
I wonder, do you believe me (all over)
I don't think you understand me
(It's all over) oh, yes, it is
(Now, now, now, now, now, now)
(Now, now, now, now, now, now)
I've got to say it
Just one more time now
(Yes, it's all over)
Soembody help me tell myself
(All over) yes, it is
(It's all over)
(Now, now, now, now, now, now)
Ev'ry time my baby and I have a quarrel,
I swear I won't give in.
Then my baby starts to smile at me,
and I know, I know I just can't win.
When My Little Girl Is Smiling
There's nothing more I can Say.
I see those big bright eyes
and then I realize
that girl is gonna get her way
When My Little Girl Is Smiling
I can't stay mad at her for long.
Why should I want to fight
when I can hold her tight?
I just don't care who's right or wrong.
When My Little Girl Is Smiling
it's the greatest thrill there can be.
She gets her way it's true,
but I know I won't be blue
When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
You know how
Bésame, bésame mucho
Each time I cling to your kiss, I hear music divine
Bésame mucho
Hold me my darling and say that you'll always be mine
This joy is something new
My arms enfolding you
Never knew this thrill before
Whoever thought I'd be
Holding you close to me
Whispering "It's you I adore"
Dearest one
If you should leave me
Each little dream would take wing, and my life would be
through
Bésame mucho
I could have danced all night
I could have danced all night
And still have begged for more
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things
That I've never, I've never ever
Ever, ever done before
I'll never know
What made it so exciting
When all at once
My heart took flight
And I, and I only
I only know, know
Know, know, know
When she begins to dance
With nobody else but me
I could have danced
Danced, danced all night
Uh huh, huh, huh, huh
And I, I said I only
I only know, know, know
When she begins to dance
With nobody, nobody but me
I could have danced
Danced, danced
Help me, somebody
I could have danced
Danced, danced
Let the music keep playing
I could have danced
Danced, danced all night
I could have danced all night
Na,na,na,na,na,na late at nite

He'll sit and count his tears
He'll sit and count his tears
He'll sit and count his tears
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a tirkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with theirs eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loades lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas,
Bom, bom, bom,

If you cry I think my heart would break,
That would be much more than I could take.
And if I saw a tear fall from your eye,
Darling don't you know that I would die.
True love, true love,
true love, true love.
Bom, bom, bom,

If you cry I don't know what I'll do,

My tears would fall like the rain.
True love, true love,
true love, true love.
Bom, bom, bom,

I, I who have nothing.
I, I who have no one
Adore you, and want you so
I'm just a no one
with nothing to give you but love
I love you.
He, He buys you diamonds
Bright, Sparkling diamonds
But believe me
Dear when I say
That he can give you the world
but he'll never love you the way
I love you.
He can take you any place he wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with my nose
pressed up against the window pane.
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Must watch you
Go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else
When Darling it's I
Amor, amor, my love
This word so sweet
That I repeat
Means I adore you
Amor, Amor, my love
Would you deny
This heart that I
Have placed before you
I can't find another word
With meaning so clear
My lips try to whisper
Sweeter things in your ear
But somehow or other
Nothing sounds quite so dear
As this soft caressing word I know
Amor, amor, my love
When you're away
There is no day
And I know that nights are lonely
Amor, amor, my love
Make life divine
Say you'll be mine
And love me only
Amor, amor, my love
When you're away
I know there's no day
And nights are so lonely
Amor, amor, my love
Make life divine
Say you'll be mine
And love me only
Amor, amor, amor
(Yes)
She said yes and what a surprise
(Yes)
She said yes and then closed her eyes
(Yes)
She said yes and opened her arms
Yes, she opened her arms and said yes
(Yes)
She said yes and held me so tight
(Yes)
She said yes with all of her might
(Yes)
She said yes and smiled up at me

She said yes and time just stood still
(Yes)
She said yes and opened her arms
Yes, she opened her arms
Goodnight, my love
Pleasant dreams
And sleep tight, my love
May tomorrow be sunny and bright
And bring you closer to me
Before you go
There's just one thing
I'd like to know
Is your love still warm for me
Or has it grown cold
If you should awake
In the still of night
Please have no fear
For I'll be there
Oh, you know I care
Please give your love to me, dear
Goodnight, my love
Pleasant dreams and sleep tight
My love (sleep tight)
May tomorrow be sunny and bright
And bring you closer to me
Close your eyes, my love
(Goodnight)
Sleep and dream of me
My love, my love, my love
My love, oh, my love
With my eyes wide open I can see the danger sign.
You broke the heart before me and now you're after mine.
And with every every kiss I know that I'd take a step, mmm,
that puts me next in line. I'ma walking in the footsteps of a fool.
And he gave you all his loving and you paid him back in tears.
And now he's counting heartaches among his souvenir.
And I know I've begged, I've begged my heart, my heart to listen,
oh, but my heart just never hear. Babe, and I'm just-a walking
in the footsteps of a fool.
No, I know I just can't help my helpless heart from-a reachin' out to
you. Mmm, I'm just-a walking in his footsteps and there's not a thing
that I can do.
Oh, I know that I shouldn't love you, baby, and I know
I shouldn't stay. I'm just-a headed for a heartbreak,
but I just can't turn away. And I said that tomorrow, baby,
tomorrow I know that I'll be crying, darling darling,
the tears he cried today. Mmmh-mmmh, I'ma walking in the
footsteps of a fool. Baby, did you hear me when I said that
I'm just-a (WALKING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF A FOOL), oooh, step
by step by step by step, darling? And I said that I'm, and I know,
I know, I know that I'ma walking, I'ma walking, I'ma walking,
I, I who have nothing.
I, I who have no one
Adore you, and want you so
I'm just a no one
with nothing to give you but love
I love you.
He, He buys you diamonds
Bright, Sparkling diamonds
But believe me
Dear when I say
That he can give you the world
but he'll never love you the way
I love you.
He can take you any place he wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with my nose
pressed up against the window pane.
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Must watch you
Go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else
When Darling it's I
Who loves you.
Hello, baby
I'm in a penny arcade
Just put a quarter in now
To have this record made
I only have two minutes, baby
To tell you how much I love you
And when you hear this record playing
I hope it's clear what I'm saying
[CHORUS]
Baby (baby, I love you)
Baby, yes, I do
(Longing to kiss you)
Girl, you know I do
(Baby, I need you)
Baby, yes, I do
(Oh, how I miss you, baby)
I'm a thousand miles from home
Play this record when you're all alone
Play it low, play it and listen
Close your eyes, pretend we're kissing
[Repeat CHORUS]
A red light just went on in here
I guess that my time is up, dear
A second more to say goodbye
And say I'll always be your guy
(Bo-bo, doo-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo)
(There she goes) (doo-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo)
(There she goes) (doo-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Bo-bo) (doo-doot-doo-doo)
(Bo-bo) (doo-doo-doo-doo)
There goes my baby, movin' on down the line
Wonder where, wonder where, wonder where she is bound?
I broke her heart and made her cry
Now I'm alone, so all alone
What can I do, what can I do?
(There goes my baby) Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
(There goes my baby) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(There goes my baby) Whoa-oh-oh-oh
(There she goes) Yeah! (There she goes)
I wanna know if she loved me
Did she really love me?
Was she just playing me for a fool?
I wonder why she left me
Why did she leave me so all alone
So all alone
I was gonna tell her that I loved her
And that I need her
Beside my side to be my guide
I wanna know where is my (doo-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Where is my baby (doo-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo) ?
I want my baby
I need my baby
Here comes the night
See the stars in the sky
Shining up above
Night of love
Darling, just you and I
And here comes the night
How I thrill to your kiss
Music fills the air everywhere
Night of magic and bliss
Think of the moments
The hours and hours
That we were apart
Moments and hours that kept
Bringing showers of
Tears to my heart
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
And here comes the night
Like the others before
But tonight's divine
You are mine once more
Think of the moments
The hours and hours
That we were apart
Moments and hours that kept
Bringing showers of
Tears to my heart
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
And here comes the night
Like the others before
But tonight's divine
You are mine once more
Every time I kiss somebody new, I, uh
Make believe I'm kissing you but, uh
I can't kid my aching heart 'cause, uh
My heart know we're still apart and, uh
Each night is like a thousand years, oh, oh
I can't lose these young boy blues
I wanna cry when I hear your name, but
If I cry, I feel ashamed, so
I let my pride be my guide and then
I keep those tears inside, so
Each night is like a thousand years, oh, oh
Since I lost these young boy blues, mmm
Don't know where to go
Don't know what to do
I'm so lonesome and lonely
Since I lost you
Every time I kiss somebody new, I, uh
Make believe I'm kissing you but, uh
I can't kid my aching heart 'cause, uh
My heart know we're still apart and
Each night is like a thousand years, oh, oh
I can't lose these young boy blues, mmm
Each night is like a thousand years, oh, oh
I can't lose these young boy blues, mmm
Tonight you're mine, completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
Can I believe the magic of your sighs
Will you still love me tomorrow
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun
I have to know that your love
Is a love I can be sure of
So tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow
(Yes)
She said yes and what a surprise
(Yes)
She said yes and then closed her eyes
(Yes)
She said yes and opened her arms
Yes, she opened her arms and said yes
(Yes)
She said yes and held me so tight
(Yes)
She said yes with all of her might
(Yes)
She said yes and smiled up at me
Yes, she smiled up at me and said yes
Yes, you can hug me and yes, you can squeeze me
And yes, you can have my caress
Yes, you can hold me and yes, you can kiss me
And yes, oh, yes, oh, darling, yes
(Yes)
She said yes and oh, what a thrill
(Yes)
She said yes and time just stood still
(Yes)
She said yes and opened her arms
Yes, she opened her arms
When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
Let me tell you now
When I come home feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)
I get away from the hustling crowd
And all that rat-race noise down in the street (up on the roof)
On the roof, the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Let's go up on the roof (up on the roof)
At night the stars put on a show for free
And, darling, you can share it all with me
I keep a-tellin' you
Right smack dab in the middle of town
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof (up on the roof)
And if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
Up on the roo-oo-oof (up on the roof)
Oh, come on, baby (up on the roof)
So few people really know
It's deep within us, it doesn't show
A soul is somethin' that comes from deep inside
But a soul is a somethin' that you can't hide
What is soul? What is soul, babe?
Search your heart, go deep down low
Way down there you'll find your soul
Come near, girl, you look so cold
Touch my hand and warm your soul
Baby, baby, what's wrong with you?
You don't know what I'm going through
Hold me so tight, so tight I can't breath
Can't you feel it, girl? Don't you know what I mean?
This is soul!
This is soul! Feel the soul, babe!
What is soul, babe? Don't you know?
This magic moment
So different and so new
Was like any other
Until I kissed you
And then it happened
It took me by surprise
I knew that you felt it too
By the look in your eyes
Sweeter than wine (sweeter than wine)
Softer than a summer night (softer than a summer night)
Everything I wanna have (everything, everything)
Whenever I hold you tight
This magic moment (this magic moment)
While your lips are close to mine
Will last forever
Forever till the end of time
(this magic moment)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(this magic moment)
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Sweeter than wine (sweeter than wine)
Softer than a summer night (softer than a summer night)
Everything I wanna have (everything, everything)
Whenever I hold you tight
This magic moment (this magic moment)
While your lips are close to mine
Will last forever (this magic moment)
Forever till the end of time (magic)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh (magic)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh (magic)
Oh-oh-oh-oh (moment)
Oh-oh-oh-oh (magic)
Oh-oh-oh-oh (magic)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (magic)
Oh-oh-oh-oh (moment)
Magic, oh-oh-oh
Magic, oh-oh-oh
Too bad for me, too bad
I'll be your fool again
Because I love you, yes, I do
You're now with someone new
While I wait in vain for you
It's too bad, too bad
My heart must pay
You know I've thought of you
Holding him tenderly
Telling him things you told to me
I know it was all wrong, my sweet
I wonder what's come over you
It's too bad, too bad
But I must pay
You didn't mind not seeing me
Every, every, every day
Oh, waiting weeks by the telephone
I'm sorry for the way
I mistreated you
You were all alone
It's sad, my dear, it's sad
I'm sure we're both to blame
Some day again our hearts will meet
Until that day comes
I'll leave you in his arms
And I'll say too bad
But I must pay
And I'll say too bad
But I must pay
Baby, baby, baby
It's bad but I must pay
And I know, I know that it's
Terrible, terrible, darling
But I've got to pay
