Chances are 'cause I wear a silly grin
The moment you come into view
Chances are you think that I'm in love with you
Just because my composure sort of slips
The moment that your lips meet mine
Chances are you think my heart's your Valentine
BRIDGE
In the magic of moonlight when I sigh, "Hold me close, dear"
Chances are you believe the stars that fill the skies are in my eyes
Guess you feel you'll always be the one and only one for me
And if you think you could
Well, chances are your chances are awfully goodChances are you believe the stars that fill the skies are in my eyes
Guess you feel you'll always be the one and only one for me
And if you think you could
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good
The chances are your chances are awfully good
If the hand of time
Were hand that I could hold
I'd keep them warm.
And in my hand
They 'd not turn cold.
Hand in hand
We'd choose
The moments that should last.
Timeless moments
That have no future
And no past.
The summer
From the top of a swing
The comfort
In the sound of a laughter.
The innocense
Of leaves in spring
But most of all
The moment when love touched me.
All the happy days
We've never learned to fly
Until the hands of time
Would choose the wave goodbye.
There ain't no future in it Evie
We never should begin it Evie
Someone's already written a song for you
You're so right for me
But I'm a wrong for you
If times was half a nice guy Evie
We might have had a nice try Evie, oh Evie
But sometimes a single moment
Changes all the ones that follow
And though its doom then dawn, then dying
Something in we won't stop trying
Evie it's up to you
Love Look Away
Johnny Mathis
Words by Oscar Hammerstein and Music by Richard Rodgers
This song was apparently never charted as a single in the Top 100 by anyone
Sung in the Broadway musical "Flower Drum Song" by Arabella Hong
INTRO:
I have wished before
I shall wish no more
Love, look away
Love, look away from me
Fly when you pass my door
Fly and get lost at sea
Call it a day
Love, let us say we're through
No good are you for me
No good am I for you
BRIDGE
Wanting you so I try too much
After you go I cry too much
Love, look away
Lonely though I may be
Leave me and set me free
Look away, look away, look away from me
Like Someone In Love
Johnny Mathis
Words by Johnny Burke and Music by Jimmy Van Heusen
This version did not chart but
In 1945, Bing Crosby took it to # 15
Introduced by Dinah Shore in the film "Belle Of the Yukon", which also starred Gypsy Rose Lee
and Randolph Scott
Lately I find myself out gazing at stars
Hearing guitars like someone in love
Sometimes the things I do astound me
Mostly whenever you're around me
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings
I bump into things like someone in love
Each time I look at you I'm limp as a glove
And feeling like someone in love
When I am with you any dream that I may dream comes true
Any star in the sky I can buy with a sigh when I am with you
Whenever we meet, whatever the sweet occasion
Where angels won抰 go, I go with no persuasion.
*When I am with you I am nothing I was before
I am everything I ever wished I could be and more
So it抯 not just for what you are yourself that I love you as I do
But for what I am when I am with you.
(Instrumental interlude and pick up at *.)
When I am with you I am nothing I was before
I am everything I ever wished I could be and more
So it抯 not just for what you are yourself that I love you as I do

INTRO
There's a silver trail of moonlight leading upward to the sky
And the night is like a velvet lullaby
There's a heaven of blue
And we'll go there, just you and I
Let's build a stairway to the stars
And climb that stairway to the stars
With love beside us to fill the night with a song
We'll hear the sound of violins
Out yonder where the blue begins
The moon will guide us as we go drifting along
CHORUS:
Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal
Over the rim of the hill?
Can't we sail away on a little dream
And settle high on the crest of a thrill?
Let's build a stairway to the stars
A lovely stairway to the stars
It would be heaven to climb to heaven with you
WILD IS THE WIND
Love me, love me; say you do.
Let me fly away with you.
For my love is like the wind
And wild is the wind.
Give me more than one caress;
Satisfy this hungriness.
Let the wind blow through your heart,
For wild is the wind.
*You touch me;
I hear the sound of mandolins.
You kiss me,
And, with the kiss, the world begins.
You're spring to me, all things to me;
You're life itself!
Like a leaf clings to a tree,
Oh my darling, cling to me,
For we're creatures of the wind,
And wild is the wind, the wind.
Wild is my love for you.
What Will Mary Say

- peak Billboard position # 9 in 1963
- Words and Music by Paul Vance and Eddie Snyder
I must be going (don't go)
My heart is showing (don't go)
I better hurry awa-ay-ay-ay-ay
If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?
Your lips are thrilling
My arms are willing
I know that I shouldn't stay-ay-ay-ay-ay
If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?
What would I do if she should need me
And find me kissing you?
She's always trusted me completely
Her poor heart would bre-ea-eak in two
I must be going (don't go)
My heart is showing (don't go)
I better hurry awa-ay-ay-ay-ay
If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?
If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?

This song was apparently never charted as a single by anyone
From the 1959 comedy film "A Private's Affair" starring Sal Mineo, Barbara Eden, Gary Crosby
and Jim Backus
Love is for the warm and willing, waiting for the warm and willing
Love is ours to take or toss aside
Take this promise to your heart and let your lips repeat
"Kisses are too sweet to be denied"
Show me that you're warm and willing, make each golden moment thrilling
Give my empty arms a welcome sign
We can make the stars go spinning and the earth stand still
If you're warm and willing to be mine

From the film "Lizzie" starring Richard Boone, Eleanor Parker, Joan Blondell and
Marion (Richie Cunningham's mom) Ross. "It's Not For Me To Say" also

Make me yours, make me yours, make me yours
When my lips are touching yours, my love
Heaven opens up its doors, my love
Warm and tender soul, warm and tender love
Lips that you grant me just seem to enchant me
We kiss and I know I've been kissed
When I'm lost in your embrace, my love
It's like flyin' into space, my love
Warm and tender soul, warm and tender your
Arms hold me tightly, they thrill and excite me
And I'd be a fool to resist you
The moment you're near my life can start
When we're apart, my life is through
Each single tingle deep down in my heart
Just beats for you, beats for you, beats for you!
With each yearning burning in my soul
Loving only you will be my goal
Warm and tender in sweet surrender I
Offer my lips and I offer my arms and I
Offer my heart that implores
Won't you make me yours?
Make me yours
Make me yours

My Love a Cherry" (a/k/a "The Riddle Song")
You ask me how much I need you, must I explain?
I need you, oh my darling, like roses need rain
You ask how long I'll love you, I'll tell you true
Until the Twelfth of Never, I'll still be loving you
Hold me close, never let me go
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow
I'll love you 'til the bluebells forget to bloom
I'll love you 'til the clover has lost its perfume
I'll love you 'til the poets run out of rhyme
Until the Twelfth of Never and that's a long, long time
Until the Twelfth of Never and that's a long, long time

- competing instrumental version by Henry Mancini charted at # 1
- from the 1968 film produced by Franco Zeffirelli and starring Leonard Whiting
and Olivia Hussey
- Words by Larry Kusik and Eddie Snyder and Music by Nino Rota
A time for us, some day there'll be
When chains are torn by courage born of a love that's free
A time when dreams so long denied can flourish
As we unveil the love we now must hide
A time for us, at last to see
A life worthwhile for you and me
And with our love, through tears and thorns
We will endure as we pass surely through every storm
A time for us, some day there'll be a new world
A world of shining hope for you and me
Funny, you're a stranger who's come here
Come from another town
Funny, I'm a stranger myself here
Small world, isn't it?
Funny, you're a girl who goes trav'lin'
Rather than settlin' down
Funny, 'cause I'd love to go trav'lin'
Small world, isn't it?
We have so much in common it's a phenomenon
We could pool our resources by joining forces from now on
Lucky, you're a girl who likes children
That's an important sign
Lucky, 'cause I'd love to have children
Small world, isn't it?
Funny, isn't it?
Small and funny and fine
(instrumental-first two lines of third verse)
Lucky, 'cause I'd love to have children
Small world, isn't it?
Funny, isn't it?
Small and funny and fine
It's De-lovely

Sung in the 1936 musical "Red, Hot, and Blue" by Ethel Merman and Bob Hope
The 1936 movie "Anything Goes" did NOT include this song but it was sung in the 1956 re-make
by Mitzi Gaynor and Donald O'Connor. Bing Crosby starred in both films but did not sing
this one!!
INTRO:
I feel a sudden urge to sing the kind of ditty that invokes the Spring
So, control your desire to curse while I crucify the verse
This verse I've started seems to me the "Tin Pan-tithesis" of melody
So to spare you all the pain, I'll skip the darn thing and sing the refrain
The night is young and the skies are clear
And if you want to go walkin', dear
It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely
I understand the reason why
You're sentimental, well so am I
It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely
You can tell at a glance what a swell night this is for romance
You can hear Mother Nature murmuring low "Let yourself go"
So please be sweet, my chickadee
And when I kiss ya, say to me
"It's delightful, it's delicious, it's delectable, it's delirious,
It's dilemma, it's de limit, it's deluxe, it's de-lovely"
I'M COMING HOME
Johnny Mathis
Sittin' in a railway station with my suitcase in my hand
Goin' back where I came from, I've had more than I can stand
Of watchin' men destroy my dreams, they picked my brain till it was
clean
When I was up they knocked me down
I ain't goin' to hand around, I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home, goin' home
Tell someone to meet me I'm comin' home
Came to this old town seeking fortune and some fame
Never got the chance to prove myself, though I tried to play their game
But usin' people just ain't my thing
And I don't dangle from any string
To please some fool that don't care about
They turned me inside out, I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home, goin' home
Tell someone to meet me I'm comin' home
(instrumental interlude)
Tell someone to meet me I'm comin' home
I'm goin' home, goin' home
Tell someone to meet me I'm comin' home
I'm goin' home, goin' home
Tell someone to meet me I'm comin' home
I'm goin' home, goin' home
Tell someone to meet me I'm comin' home

I Look At You
Johnny Mathis
Written by Johnny Mathis and Jessie Mae Robinson
This song did not chart
I look at you and I say to myself
"What more could I want if I had you?"
But I wouldn't dare to speak it out loud
I stand and I stare, my head in a cloud
I look at you and I say to my heart
"What chance would I have, why let the fire start?"
I long to know the thrill of your sweet embrace
Yet when we're face to face, I just look at you
I Dream Of You
Johnny Mathis
Written by Marjorie Goetschius and Edna Osser
This version not released as a single but
In 1944, it was charted at #5 by Andy Russell
In 1945, three versions charted: Tommy Dorsey (#4), Frank Sinatra (#7), and Perry
Como (#10)
INTRO:
You're completely unaware, dear, that my heart is in your hand
So for love's sake won't you listen and try to understand?
I dream of you more than you dream I do
How can I prove to you this love is real?
You mean to me more than you mean to be
You just can't seem to see the way I feel
When I am close to you the world is far away
The words that fill my heart my lips can't seem to say
I want you so more than you'll ever know
More than you dream I do, I dream of you
I want you so more than you'll ever know
More than you dream I do, I dream of you
A Certain Smile
Johnny Mathis
Words by Paul Francis Webster and Music by Sammy Fain
Peaked at # 14 in 1958
Sung by Mathis as the title song in the movie starring Rossano Brazzi and Joan
Fontaine
A certain smile, a certain face
Can lead an unsuspecting heart on a merry chase
A fleeting glance can say so many lovely things
Suddenly you know why my heart sings
You love awhile and when love goes
You try to hide the tears inside with a cheerful pose
But in the hush of night exactly like a bittersweet refrain
Comes that certain smile to haunt your heart again
Can't Get Out Of This Mood
Johnny Mathis
Words by Frank Loesser and Music by Jimmy McHugh
This version did no chart but

Sung by Ginny Simms in the movie "Seven Days' Leave" which also starred Lucille Ball, Victor
Mature, and Arnold Stang
INTRO
All day long before my eyes come little visions of you
They shouldn't, they mustn't, but they do, they do
And I can't get out of this mood, can't get over this feeling
Can't get out of this mood, last night your lips were too appealing
The thrill should have been all gone by today in the usual way
But it's only your arms I'm out of
Can't get out of this dream, what a fool I was to dream of you
'twasn't part of my scheme to sigh and tell you that I love you
But I'm sayin' it, I'm playin' it dumb
Can't get out of this mood, heartbreak, here I come
Call Me
Johnny Mathis
Written by Clyde Otis and Belford C. Hendricks
Peaked at # 21 in 1958
Call me if your arms are lonely
Call me if you're feeling blue
If you don't believe me, just call and say you need me
And darling I'll come to you
Call me if your dreams should tumble
I will help you start anew
If you don't believe me, just call and say you need me
And darling I'll run to you
Call me if things look hopeless and gray
I'll come and change the view
Call me when Spring seems farthest away
I'll change the season for you
Call and say you want me near you
I'll be there before you're through
If you don't believe, just call and say you need me
And darling I'll fly to you
Call and say you want me near you
I'll be there before you're through
If you don't believe, just call and say you need me
And darling I'll fly to you
If the hand of time
Were hand that I could hold
I'd keep them warm.
And in my hand
They â'd not turn cold.
Hand in hand
We'd choose
The moments that should last.
Timeless moments
That have no future
And no past.
The summer
From the top of a swing
The comfort
In the sound of a laughter.
The innocense
Of leaves in spring
But most of all
The moment when love touched me.
All the happy days
We've never learned to fly
Until the hands of time
Would choose the wave goodbye.
I want you with me all the time
Sunrise and sunset and all the time
Your are the one love I am living for
Had we just begun love could I love you more
Warm as the May wine, wild as the sea
These are the feelings you waken in me
I've had my moments and a dream or two
But I needed someone all the time
And all the time it was you
INTRO:
Maybe it was the music or that heavenly sky of blue
Maybe it was the mood I was in or maybe it was really you
Really you
This heart of mine was doing very well
The world was fine as far as I could tell
And then quite suddenly I met you and I dreamed of gay amours
At dawn I woke up singing sentimental overtures
This heart of mine is gaily dancing now
I taste the wine of real romancing now
Somehow this crazy world has taken on a wonderful design
As long as life endures it's yours, this heart of mine
This heart of mine is gaily dancing now
I taste the wine of real romancing now
Somehow this crazy world has taken on a wonderful design
As long as life endures it's yours, this heart of mine
As long as life endures it's yours, this heart of mine
This heart of mine, this heart of mine
SCAT: Doodley-doodle-doo-ahh
Teacher, teacher
There's so much I'm longin' to know
'cause my heart has been all aglow
From the moment we met
Teacher, make me, make me
Make me the teacher's pet
Teacher, teacher
Educate me with a caress
Teach me nothin' less than a lesson
I'll never forget
Teacher, make me, make me
Make me the teacher's pet
I read more in your lovin' eyes
Than in any book from the shelf
I don't have to tell you
You're in a class by yourself
Kiss me, kiss me
After that, please kiss me again
Show me all that special attention
You'll never regret
'cause I'll do my home work diligently
Till we're both at least a hundred and three
Teacher, hold me, kiss me
Make me the teacher's pet
I read more in your lovin' eyes
Than in any book from the shelf
I don't have to tell you
You're in a class all by yourself
Kiss me, kiss me
After that, please kiss me again
Show me all that special attention
You'll never regret
'cause I'll do my home work diligently
Till we're both at least a hundred and three
Teacher, hold me, kiss me
Make me the teacher's pet!!
Show me that you love me
Oh, teacher, make me your pet!!
Don't throw away the magic
Of your teenage dreams
To lose the thrill is tragic
Keep your teenage dreams
Hang on to your romantic wishes
That mean so much to you
And don't forget
It's never too late
For all of them to come true
Love is a thing of glory
To a teenage heart
Don't rearrange the story
Once it's had it's start
Then as your years multiply by two
You'll be on them forever it seems
'Cause you're looking at a life
Through the rose colored lens
Someone
Someone really loves you guess who
Someone really needs you guess why
Someone wants to kiss you and hold you tight
Someone wants to love you each and every night
Someone wants to say hello
I know heÕll never let you go
When he looks into your eyes
I know that you will realise and
Guess just who that someone must be
I know youÕll know that someone is me
Someone wants to kiss you and hold you tight
Someone wants to love you each and every night
Someone wants to say hello
I know heÕll never let you go
When he looks into your eyes
I know that you will realise and
Guess just who that someone must be
I know youÕll know that someone
When you just give love and never get love
You'd better let love depart
I know it's so and yet I know
I can't get you out of my heart
You made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you've gone
Since I fell for you
Oh, love brings such misery and pain
I know I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you
Well, it's too bad and it's too sad
But I'm in love with you
First you love me then you snub me
But what can I do? I'm still in love with you
I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues most every night
Love, soft as an easy chair
Love, fresh as the morning air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you
Like a rose under the April snow
I was always certain, love would grow
Love ageless and evergreen
Seldom seen by two
You and I will make each night a first
Everyday a beginning
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
They warm and excite us
'Cause we have the brightest love
Two lights that shine as one
Morning glory and midnight sun
Time we've learned to sail above
Time won't change the meaning of one love
Here we are once again
Just the same as we were then
In those carefree days
We were never apart
What a shame It’s so sad
That our timing was so bad
That while I played at love
You offered your heart
Looking back I can see
Just how right you were for me
And what a fool I was to let you go
Here we are the same as then
Could we try it once again
Cause now at last I’ve come to realize
That from the day you walked in
To the day you walked out
Those were the best days
Of my life
That from the day you walked in
To the day you walked out
Those were the best days
The very best days
Gina, Gina, I kissed you once and then
I felt so wonderful, so very wonderful
Let's do it over again
Gina (Gina), Gina (Gina), I can't remember when
I've ever felt a kiss that made me feel like this
Let's do it over again
Look at you, oh, look at you
So warm, so sweet, so shy
Look at me, oh, look at me
I can't believe that I'm such a lucky guy
To have Gina, Gina all for my very own
It's much too wonderful, so very wonderful
To know that Gina is mine alone
Oh, look at you, oh, look at you
So warm, so sweet, so shy
Look at me, oh, look at me
I can't believe that I'm such a lucky guy
To have Gina (Gina), Gina (Gina) all for my very own
It's much too wonderful, so very wonderful
To know that Gina is mine (Gina is mine)
Wasn't the summer short?
Didn't it seem to fly?
Where are the nights we thought we'd find
Our love under summer skies?
Didn't that careless moon
Forget to find us?
Didn't the month of June
Fail utterly to remind us that...
Autumn comes all too soon.
Midsummer madness dies.
Nothing is quite the same when leaves
Turn gold 'neath September skies.
Why did we let this magic time go by?
Wasn't the summer short?
Maybe it's much
Too early in the game
Ooh, 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 the thousand invitations
You received
Ooh, but in case
I stand one little chance
Here comes
The jackpot question in advance
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's Eve?
Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of the thousand invitations
You received
Ooh, but in case
I stand one little chance
Here comes
The jackpot question in advance
What are you doing New Year's
Our Father
Who art in heaven
Hallowed
Be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On Earth
As it is
In heaven
Give us this day
Our daily bread
And forgive us
Our trespasses
As we forgive
Those
Who trespass
Against us
And lead us
Into temptation
But deliver us
From evil
For thine
Is the kingdom
The power
And the glory
For ever
And ever
No love but your love can set my world on fire
No love but your love can fill me with desire
No love but your love can shape my destiny
No love but your love can make a slave of me
No arms but your arms can banish all my fears
No charms but your charms could last a thousand years
No love but your love will ever thrill me so
No love but your love will my heart ever know
No love but your love will my heart ever know
May the good Lord bless and keep you
Whether near or far away
May you find that long awaited
Golden day today
May your troubles all be small ones
And your fortune ten times ten
May the good Lord bless and keep you
'Til we meet again
May you walk with sunlight shining
And a bluebird in every tree
May there be a silver lining
Back of every cloud you see
Fill your dreams with sweet tomorrows
Never mind what might have been
May the good Lord bless and keep you
'Til we meet again
Fill your dreams with swee-eet tomorrows
Never mind what might have been
May the good Lord bless a-and keep you
'Til we meet again
May the good Lord bless a-and keep you
'Til we mee-eet
A time for us, some day there'll be
When chains are torn by courage born of a love that's free
A time when dreams so long denied can flourish
As we unveil the love we now must hide
A time for us, at last to see
A life worthwhile for you and me
And with our love, through tears and thorns
We will endure as we pass surely through every storm
A time for us, some day there'll be a new world
A world of shining hope for you and me
For you and me
And with our love, through tears and thorns
We will endure as we pass surely through every storm
A time for us, some day there'll be a new world
A world of shining hope for you and me
Saying goodbye is never an easy thing
But you never said, you'd stay forever
So if you must go, darling, I'll set you free
That I know in time, we'll be together
I won't try to stop you now from leaving
'Cuz in my heart I know
Love will lead you back
Someday I just know that
Love will lead you back to my arms
Where you belong
I'm sure, sure as stars are shining
One day, you will find me again
It won't be long
One of these days, love will lead you back
One of these nights
I'll hear your voice again
You're gonna say
How much you miss me
You'll walk out this door
But someday, you'll walk back in
Darling I know
I know this will be
Sometimes it takes
Sometime out on your own now to find your way back home
Love will lead you back
Someday I just know that
Love will lead you back to my arms
Where you belong
I'm sure, sure as stars are shining
One day, you will find me again
It won't be long
One of these days, love will lead you back
I won't try to stop you now from leavin'
'Cuz in my heart I know
Love will lead you back
Someday I just know that
Love will lead you back to my arms
Where you belong
I'm sure, sure as stars are shining
One day, you will find me again
It won't be long
One of these days, love will lead you back
It won't be long, I know
Someday I just know that
Love will lead you back to my arms
Where you belong
I'm sure, sure as stars are shining
One day, you will find me again
It won't be long
One of these days, love will lead you back
In my solitude you haunt me
With reveries of days gone by
In my solitude you taunt me
With memories that never die
I sit in my chair, I'm filled with despair
There's no one that could be so sad
With gloom ev'rywhere, I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad
In my solitude I'm praying
Dear Lord above
Send back my love
In my solitude I'm praying
Dear Lord above
Dear Lord above
Dear Lord above
Have a holly jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year
Well
I don't know if there'll be snow
But have a cup of cheer
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet
Ho ho the mistletoe
Hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear
Oh, bygolly
Have a holly jolly Christmas
This year
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear
Oh, by golly
Have a holly jolly Christmas
This year
Have a holly jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year
Well
I don't know if there'll be snow
if we only had love
then tomorrow will dawn
and the days of our years
will rise on that morn
if we only had love
to embrace without fears
we will kiss with our eyes
The snow is snowing
The wind is blowing
But I can weather
The storm
What do I care
How much it
May storm?
I've got my love
To keep me warm
I can't remember
A worse December
Just watch
Those icicles form
What do I care
If icicles form?
I've got my love
To keep me warm
Off with my overcoat
Off with my glove
I need no overcoat
I'm burning with love
My heart's on fire
The flame grows higher
So I will weather
The storm
What do I care
How much it
May storm?
I've got my love
To keep me warm
Off with my overcoat
Off with my glove
I need no overcoat
I'm burning
With love
My heart's on fire
The flame
Grows higher
So I will weather
The storm
What do I care
How much it
May storm?
I've got my love
To keep me warm
Out with
The fire off
With the sweater
I got a heater
Couldn't be
Better will be
So confee
All through
The storm
I've got my love
Come back, come back, come back, come back
Come back, come back to me
Nothing takes away the hurt
I feel in my heart
There's a way to stop my tales
Once they start
Only you can make my life
The way it used to be
And there's nothing I can do
Till you, till you come back to me
Oh, nothing takes away the hurt
When I think of you
Saying you'll be leaving me
For somebody new
But if you find he doesn't love you
Love you faithfully
I want you to know
You've got someplace to go
Come back, come back
Come back to me
Oh, if you find he doesn't love you
Love you faithfully
I want you to know
You've got someplace to go
Come back, come back, come back, come back
Call me if your arms are lonely,
call me if you're feeling blue.
If you don't believe me,
just call and say you need me,
and, darling, I'll come to you.
Call me if your dreams should tumble,
I will help you start anew.
If you don't believe me,
just call and say you need me,
and, darling, I'll run to you.
Call me if things look hopeless and gray,
I'll come and change the view.
Call me when Spring seems farthest away,
I'll change the season for you.
Call and say you want me near you,
I'll be there before you're through.
If you don't believe me,
just call and say you need me,
and, darling, I'll fly to you.
Call and say you want me near you,
I'll be there before you're through.
If you don't believe me,
just call and say you need me,
When they begin the beguine
It brings back the sound of music so tender,
It brings back a night of tropical splendour,
It brings back a memory evergreen.
I’m with you once more under the stars,
And down by the shore an orchestra’s playing
And even the palms seem to be swaying
When they begin the beguine.
To live it again is past all endeavour,
Except when that tune clutches my heart,
And there we are, swearing to love forever,
And promising never, never to part.
What moments divine, what rapture serene,
Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted,
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted,
I know but too well what they mean;
So don’t let them begin the beguine
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember;
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
When they begin the beguine.
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play
Till the stars that were there before return above you,
Till you whisper to me once more,
"Darling, I love you!"
And we suddenly know, what heaven we’re in,
When they begin
When they begin the beguine
When they begin the beguine
When I'm not playing solitaire
I take a book down from the shelf
And what with programs on the air
I keep pretty much to myself
Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Oh, darling I guess
My mind's more at ease
But nevertheless
Why stir up memories?
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore
Sky, so vast is the sky
With far away clouds just wandering by..
Where do they go?
Oh I don't know, don't know...
Wind that speaks to the leaves
Telling stories that no one believes
Stories of love
Belong to you and me....
(Instrumental)
Oh Dindi....
If I only had words
I would say all the beautiful things that I see
When you're with me
oh my Dindi
Oh Dindi...
Like the song of the wind in the trees
That's how my heart is singing Dindi, happy Dindi
When you're with me
I love you more each day
Yes I do, yes I do
I'd let you go away
If you take me with you
Don't you know Dindi
I'd be running and searching for you
Like a river that can't find the sea
That would be me
Without you my Dindi
(Instrumental)
I love you more each day
Yes I do, yes I do
I'd let you go away
If you take me with you
Don't you know Dindi
I'd be running and searching for you
Like a river that can't find the sea
That would be me
Without you my Dindi
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you, I'll be forever thankful, baby
You're the one who held me up, never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through, through it all
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith, 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am because you loved me
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand, I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love, I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith, 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark, shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies, you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith, 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am because you loved me
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith, 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am because you loved me
I'm everything I am because you loved me
Time and again I've longed for adventure
Something to make my heart beat the faster
What did I long for? I never really knew
Finding your love, I've found my adventure
Touching your hand, my heart beats the faster
All that I want in all of this world is you
You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song
You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I know are what you are
Someday my happy arms will hold you
And someday I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine
Someday my happy arms will hold you
And someday I'll know that moment divine
Everywhere you go,
that's where I simply have to be,
for you are everything to me.
Everything you touch,
at once is sacred, divine.
Can I hold you?
Be mine.
Kiss me and I'm strong
enough to turn the strongest tide.
Just sigh and I go wild inside.
I'll be everything
you ever want me to be,
for, my darling, you are everything to me.
I'll be everything
you ever want me to be,
Sometimes we walk hand in hand by the sea
And we breathe in the cool salty air
You turn to me with a kiss in your eyes
And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare
Then your lips cling to mine
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh so wonderful my love
Sometimes we stand on the top of a hill
And we gaze at the earth and the sky
I turn to you and you melt in my arms
There we are, darling, only you and I
What a moment to share
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh so wonderful, my love
The world is full of wonderous things, it's true
But they wouldn't have much meaning without you
Some quiet evening I sit by your side
And we're lost in a world of our own
I feel the glow of your unspoken love
I'm aware of the treasure that I own
And I say to myself
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh so wonderful, my love
And I say to myself
It's wonderful, wonderful
Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'?
In the lane, snow is glistenin'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in the winter wonderland
Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song, as we go along
Walkin' in the winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is parson brown
He'll say, "Are you married?" We'll say, "No man"
But you can do the job when you're in town
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
Walkin' in the winter wonderland
Over the ground lies a mantle of white
A heaven of diamonds shine down through the night
Two hearts are thrillin' in spite of the chill in the weather
Love knows no season, love knows no clime
Romance can blossom any old time
Here in the open, we're walkin' and hopin' together
Together, together, together
Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin?
In the lane, snow is glistenin'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in the winter wonderland
Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is a new bird
He's singing love song, as we go along
Walkin' in the winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down
When it snows ain't it thrillin'
Though your nose gets a chillin'
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way
Walkin' in the winter wonderland
Walkin' in the winter wonderland
Winter wonder, winter wonderland
If I could I'd like to be, a great big movie star.
Overnight sensation, drive a big expensive car.
I would buy you everything your little heart desires.
These things I do, 'cause I'm stone in love with you.
If I were a business man, I'd sit behind a desk.
I'd be so successful, I would scare wall street to death.
I would hold a meeting for the press to let them know.
I did it all, 'cause I'm stone in love with you.
I'm just a man, an average man
doing everything the best I can
But if I could, I'd give the world to you...
I'd like to someday be the owner of the first house on the moon.
there would be no neighbors, and no population boom.
You might say that all I do is dream my life away.
I guess it's true, 'cause I'm stone in love with you.

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter and strife
In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure a year in the life?
How about love?
Talk about love?
What about love?
Measure in love
(Seasons of love)

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life of a woman or a man?
In truths that she learned or times that he cried
In bridges he burned or the way that she died
(It's time now to sing out though the story never ends)
Let's celebrate, remember a year in the life of friends
Remember the love

You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He's making a list and checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
One day in your life
You'll remember a place
Someone touching your face
You'll come back and you'll look around, you'll . . .
One day in your life
You'll remember the love you found here
You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day . . .
One day in your life
When you find that you're always waiting
For a love we used to share
Just call my name, and I'll be there
You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day . . .
One day in your life
When you find that you're always lonely
For a love we used to share
Just call my name, and I'll be there.
Oh, Holy Night
The stars
Are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear
Saviour's birth
Long lay the world in sin
And error pining
'Til He appeared
And the soul felt
It's worth a thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new
And glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices
Oh, night divine
Oh, night
When Christ was born
Oh, night divine
Oh night
Oh, Holy night
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices
Oh, night divine
Oh, night
When Christ was born
Oh, night divine
Oh, night
Your pillow wasn't slept upon your
closet was empty too.
All of your clothes and things were gone.
There wasn't a trace of you.
How could you go and leave so completely?
Nothing was left of all the memories that we used to share
just an empty tube of toothpaste
and a half-filled cup of coffee:
Odds and ends of a beautiful love affair.
At least you could have said goodbye you
shouldn't have run away!
Were you afraid that I would cry?
My tears might have made you stay.
Where are those dreams that kept us together?
Nothing was left to show that we were once so happy there
just an empty tube of toothpaste
and a half filled cup of coffee:
Odds and ends of a beautiful love affair.
Let's love while the night is young
Let's love, life has just begun
To become a dream, a dream of reality
Let's love, press your lips to mine
Let's kiss for that thrill divine
As we realize there's no one but you and me
I find your arms so inviting to me
So what am I to do?
The thrill of your touch is exciting to me
While our hearts are reeling, while we have this feeling
Let's love till the end of time
Let's love, leave the world behind
Now that we have found the wonderful glory of
Two magic words, " Let's love"
Ahhh, let's love
Let's love, life has just begun
To become a dream, a dream of reality
Ahhh, let's love
Let's kiss, for that thrill divine
As we realize there's no one but you and me
I find your arms so inviting to me
So what am I to do?
The thrill of your touch is exciting to me
While our hearts are reeling, while we have this feeling
Let's love till the end of time
Let's love, leave the world behind
Now that we have found the wonderful glory of
Two magic words " Let's love"
Let's love
Joey, Joey, Joey
Joey, Joey, Joey, Joe
You've been too long
In one place
And it's time to go
Time to go
Joey, Joey, Joey
Joey, travel on
You've been too long
In one town
And the harvest time's
Come and gone
That's what the wind
Sings to you
When the bunk you've been bunkin' in
Gets to feelin' too soft and cozy
When the grub they've been cookin' you
Gets to tastin' too good
When you've seen all you want
All the ladies in the neighborhood
I sing Joey
Joey, Joey
Joey, Joey, Joe
You've been too long
In one place
And it's time to go
Time to go
Oh baby, I found heaven when I found you
And this heaven is something I don't wanna lose
I only know that if you ever said goodbye, I couldn't stand the pain
These eyes would cry, cry, cry like the rain
And the sun would have nowhere to shine
And the stars would all fall from the sky
Baby, please don't take away my heaven, oh no
'Cause this world would stop turnin', I know
And I'd lose my whole world if you go
Baby, please don't take away my heaven, oh, oh
Oh baby, I saw forever when I saw you
And if you left me, oh, I can't imagine what I'd do
Now that I've gone and built my world
Around your love, I couldn't let you go
Don't ever say goodbye, no, don't, don't, don't ever go
And the sun would have nowhere to shine
And the stars would all fall from the sky
Baby, please don't take away my heaven, oh no
'Cause this world would stop turnin', I know
And I'd lose my whole world if you go
Baby, please, oh, don't take away my heaven
'Cause you might as well take away my life from me
What good would a life without you be anyway
If you go away
The sun would have nowhere to shine
And the stars would all fall from the sky
Baby, please, oh, don't take away my heaven, oh no
'Cause this world would stop turnin', I know
And I'd lose my whole world if you go
Baby, please, oh, don't take away my heaven, oh, no
Don't take away my heaven, don't take away your love
Don't take away my life, oh baby, I need your touch
Baby, please don't take away my heaven, oh no
Don't take away my heaven, don't take away your love
Don't take away your love, oh baby, I need your touch
Baby, please, oh, don't take away my heaven, oh no
Don't take away my heaven, don't take away your love
Don't take away my life, oh baby, I need your touch
Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year
Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share
Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh, that we could always see
I’ll go my way by myself, this is the end of romance
I’ll go my way by myself, love is only a dance
I’ll try to apply myself, and teach my heart how to sing
I’ll go my way by myself, like a bird on the wing
I’ll face the unknown, I’ll build a world of my own
No one knows better than I, myself, I’m by myself alone
I’ll try to apply myself, and teach my heart how to sing
I’ll go my way by myself, like a bird on the wing
I’ll face the unknown, I’ll build a world of my own
(Herman Hupfeld)
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say I love you
On that you can rely
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
Moonlight and lovesongs never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
The fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
A certain smile
A certain face
Can lead an unsuspecting heart on a merry chase
A fleeting glance
Can say so many lovely things
Suddenly you'll know why my heart sings
You love awhile
And when love goes
You try to hide the tears inside
With a cheerful pose
But in the hush of night
Exactly like a bittersweet refrain
Comes that certain smile to haunt your heart again
But in the hush of night
Exactly like a bittersweet refrain
Toyland, Toyland

Little girl and boy land
When you dwell within it
You are ever happy there
Childhood Toyland
Mystical merry Toyland
Once you pass its borders
You can never return again
(Not again)
Childhood Toyland

VERSE
Behold the way our fine feathered-friend
His virtue doth parade.
Thou knowest not, my dim witted friend,
The picture Thou hast made.
Thy vacant brow and thy tousled hair
Conceal Thy good intent.
Thou, noble upright, truthful, sincere
And slightly dopey gent,- you are...
REFRAIN:
My funny valentine,
Sweet comic valentine,
You make me smile with my heart.
You looks are laughable, unphotographable;
Yet you're my favorite work of art.
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little bit weak?
When you open it to speak, are you smart?
Don't change a hair for me,
Not if you care for me.
Stay little valentine stay.
There are times in our lives when
we feel that the whole world is
against us, that we really aren't
worth anything at all.
This is the time when you need to
Take time for yourself.
On a clear day... take time to count
your blessings
On a clear day... realize what you
mean to others
On a clear day... realize what others
mean to you
On a clear day... look at all the
beauty on earth
On a clear day... find the beauty
in yourself
God put us all on this earth for a purpose
On a clear day...
Take the time to find what that purpose is
On a clear day, and every day
We are all "special"
each in our own way
Take the time to find out who you really are
You will find, I am sure, that you will
Outshine every star...
My love for you
Is deep and endless as the sea
Strong and mighty as a tree
My love for you
My eager heart
Keeps beating just for you alone
Since the moment it is known
My love for you
There'll be no other lips
No other eyes
No other love for me
Feeling as I do
How could there be
(And) so it will be
Far beyond eternity
Ever faithful ever true
We've proven romance is still
The best of everything
That sudden thrill
The best of everything
That one little sigh is treasure
You cannot buy or measure
By any test
The best of everything
You found the moon and the sun
Yes, he is the one, it seems
But soon it's done
And not the fun it seems
You walk through the night just groping
It's still alright, you're hoping
Love can be all or nothing
But even when its nothing
It's still the best
The best of everything
We've proven romance is still
Day by day, I'm falling more in love with you
And day by day my love seems to grow
There isn't any end to my devotion
It's deeper dear by far than any ocean
I find that day by day you're making all my dreams come true
So come what may I want you to know
I'm yours alone and I'm in love to stay
As we go through the years day by day
Day by day I'm falling more in love with you
And day by day my love seems to grow
There isn't any end to my devotion
It's deeper dear by far than any ocean
I find that day by day you're making all my dreams come true
So come what may I want you to know
I'm yours alone and I'm in love to stay
As we go through the years day by day
I find that day by day you're making all my dreams come true
So come what may I want you to know
I'm yours alone and I'm in love to stay
As we go through the years day by day
I'm yours alone and I'm in love to stay
As we go through the years day by day
Oh, I was young and starry-eyed and Very Much In Love
So Very Much In Love with you
And I was shy in many ways and Very Much In Love
And nothing but your love would do
For you were sweet and wonderful to set my heart aglow
Oh, that was long ago when life was new
Now I'm not so young or starry-eyed, I know a thing or two
I'm know I'm Very Much In Love with you
Now I'm not so young or starry-eyed, I know a thing or two
A time for us, some day there'll be
When chains are torn by courage born of a love that's free
A time when dreams so long denied
Can flourish as we unveil the love we now must hide
A time for us, at last to see
A life worthwhile for you and me
And with our love, through tears and thorns
We will endure as we pass surely through every storm
A time for us, some day there'll be a new world
A world of shining hope for you and me
For you and me
And with our love, through tears and thorns
We will endure as we pass surely through every storm
A time for us, some day there'll be a new world
A world of shining hope for you and me
I must be going (Don't go)
My heart is showing (Don't go)
I better hurry away
If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?
Your lips are thrilling
My arms are willing
I know that I shouldn't stay
If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?
What would I do if she should need me
And find me kissing you?
She's always trusted me completely
Her poor heart would break in two
I must be going (Don't go)
My heart is showing (Don't go)
I better hurry away
If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?
If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?
(Don't go)
It's a mystery I cannot explain
All it feels I got are heartaches and pain
Since she's gone, gone, gone, gone, baby's gone
I wonder, wonder, wonder
Where she's gone, gone, gone, gone, baby's gone
I can't sleep at night, got no appetite
Everything is wrong that used to be right
Since she's gone, gone, gone, gone, baby's gone
I wonder, wonder, wonder
Where she's gone, gone, gone, gone, baby's gone
Ooh, yes, I tried to change her
Tried to re-arrange her personality
Ooh, thought I'm playing out
I just cannot seem to face reality
I can't sleep at night, got no appetite
Everything is wrong that used to be right
Since she's gone, gone, gone, gone, baby's gone
I wonder, wonder, wonder
Where she's gone, gone, gone, gone, baby's gone
It's a mystery I cannot explain
All it feels I got are heartaches and pain
Since she's gone, gone, gone, gone, baby's gone
I wonder, wonder, wonder
Where she's gone, gone, gone, gone, baby's gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, baby's gone
I wonder, wonder, wonder
You ask how much I need you, must I explain?
I need you, oh my darling, like roses need rain.
You ask how long I'll love you; I'll tell you true:
Until the twelfth of never, I'll still be loving you.
Hold me close, never let me go.
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow.
I'll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom;
I'll love you till the clover has lost its perfume.
I'll love you till the poets run out of rhyme,
Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time.
Hold me close, never let me go.
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow.
I'll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom;
I'll love you till the clover has lost its perfume.
I'll love you till the poets run out of rhyme,
Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time.
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions but only illusions
Rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see
Someday we'll find it, The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Well, who said that every wish would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Well, somebody thought of that and someone believed it
Look what it's done so far
And what's so amazing that keeps us star-gazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
And all of us under its spell
We know that it's probably magic
Well, have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name
And is this the sweet sound that called the young sailor?
The voice may be one and the same
But I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm supposed to be
Someday we'll find The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Come bring me your softness.
Comfort me through all this madness.
Woman, don't you know with you I'm born again?
Come give me your sweetness.
Now there's you, there is no weakness.
Woman, don't you know with you I'm born again?
I was half not whole, in step with none.
Reaching through this world, in need of one.
Come show me your kindness.
In your arms I now I'll find this.
Woman, don't you know with you I'm born again?
Lying safe with you I'm born again.
Come bring me your softness.
Comfort me through all this madness.
Lying safe within your arms, I'm born again.
Come give me your sweetness.
Now there's you, there is no weakness.
Lying safe within your arms, I'm born again.
I was half not whole, in step with none.
Reaching through this world, in need of one.
Come show me your kindness.
In your arms I now I'll find this.
Lying safe within your arms, I'm born again.
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 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
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why, can't I?
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly, yeah
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why, can't I?
Birds fly over the rainbow
Look at me
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud
I can't understand
I get misty, just holding your hand
Walk my way
And a thousand violins begin to play
Or it might be the sound of your hello
That music I hear
I get misty the moment you're near
You can say that you're leading me on
But it's just what I want you to do
Don't you notice how hoplessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you
On my own
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I'm too misty and too much in love
(repeat after music interlude)
Silver Bells
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
COME TO ME
Come to me now that I have found you;
Come to me; wrap my love around you.
Look in my eyes; hear what they way.
Don't run away; stay, stay, stay.
*I'm on fire; let your lips caress me.
My desire is that you possess me.
Don't be afraid for love to come to you.
My lover, come to me; lover, come to me,
Come to me.
(Instrumental interlude and pick up.)
I'm on fire; let your lips caress me.
My desire is that you possess me.
Don't be afraid for love to come to you.
My lover, come to me; lover, come to me,
So many nights I sit by my window
Waiting for someone to sing me his song
So many dreams I kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark but now
You've come along
And you light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song
Rollin at sea, adrift on the water
Could it be finaly I m turning for home?
Finally, a chance to say hey,
I love you
Never again to be all alone
Cause you
You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song
And you
You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song
With song
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song
It can t be wrong
When it feels so right
Cause you
City looks bright tonight
Dream and thrills and
Variety is the sweet taste of life
A chance to trip the light
There's a feeling in the air
Amongst the people, yeah I swear
All majestic in the light
This fantastic life
Should be revealed tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
If you've ever been alone
Find some love in the night
well, tonight, yea tonight, tonight
If you've ever lost your life
Find some love in the night
Black neon hangover in the morning
But i'm still smilin
Just a small price to pay
To wash my tears away
And I know I'm here to stay
Tonight, tonight, tonight
If you've ever been alone
Find some love in the night
well, tonight, yea tonight, tonight
If you've ever lost your life
Find some love in the night
If you're going down
Or if you're going around again
You better listen up
If you're going down
Or if you're coming around again
You better listen
Tonight, tonight, tonight
If you've ever been alone
Find some love in the night
well, tonight, yea tonight, tonight
If you've ever lost your life
It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer"
It's the most wonderful time of the year
It's the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
It's the hap- happiest season of all
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
When hearts are passing in the night, in the lonely night
Then they must hold each other tight, oh, so very tight
And take a chance that in the light, in tomorrow's light
They'll stay together, so much in love
And in the silence of a mist, of a morning mist
When lips are waiting to be kissed, longing to be kissed
Where is the reason to resist and deny a kiss
That holds a promise of happiness?
Though yesterday still surrounds you with a warm and precious memory
Maybe for tomorrow we can build a new dream for you and me
This glow we feel is something rare, something really rare
So come and say you want to share, want to really share
The beauty waiting for us there, calling for us there
That only loving can give the heart
When life is passing in the night, in the rushing night
A man, a woman in the night, in the lonely night
Must take a chance that in the light, in tomorrow's light
They'll be together, so much in love
Together, so much in love
So tell me
You're not afraid to take a chance, really take a chance
Let your heart begin to dance, let it sing and dance
To the music of a glance, of a fleeting glance
To the music of romance, of a new romance
Frosted window panes
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 for me
It's that time of year
When the world
Falls in love
Every song
You hear seems to say
Merry Christmas
Your New Year's dreams
Come true
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too
It's that time of year
When the world
Falls in love
Every song
You hear seems to say
Merry Christmas
Frosted window panes
(See them gleaming)
Candles gleaming inside
(With the snow)
Painted candy canes
(See them showing)
On the tree
Just look and you'll see
Santa's on his way
(That's why
sleigh bells are ringing)
He's filled his sleigh
(And that's why
were all singing)
With things
Things for you
And for me
It's that time of year
(Time for falling)
When the world
Falls in love
(So in love)
Every song you hear
(Happy song)
Seems to say
Merry Christmas
(May all)
Your New Year's dreams
Come true
(May may all come true)
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
(You and yours)
I've never met you, yet never doubt dear
I can't forget you, I've thought you out, dear
I know your profile and I know the way you kiss
Just the thing I miss on a night like this
Isn't it romantic?
Music in the night, a dream that can be heard
Isn't it romantic?
Moving shadows write the oldest magic word
I hear the breezes playing in the trees above
While all the world is saying you were meant for love
Isn't it romantic?
Merely to be young on such a night as this?
Isn't it romantic?
Every note that's sung is like a lover's kiss
Sweet symbols in the moonlight
Do you mean that I will fall in love per chance?
Isn't it romance?
Sweet symbols in the moonlight
Do you mean that I will fall in love per chance?
With Deniece Williams
You're all I need to get by.
Like the sweet morning dew, I took one look at you,
And it was plain to see, you were my destiny.
With my arms open wide, I threw away my pride
I'll sacrifice for you Dedicate my life for you
I will go where you lead
Always there in time of need
And when I lose my will
You'll be there to push me up the hill
There's no, no looking back for us
We got love sure nough, that's enough
You're all, you're All I need to get by.
I all, you're all I want to strive for and do a little more
All, all the joys under the sun wrapped up into one
You're all, you're all I need to get by.
You're all I need to get by.
Like an eagle protects his nest, for you I'll do my best,
Stand by you like a tree, dare anybody to try and move me
Darling in you I found Strength where I was torn down
Don't know what's in store but together we can open any door
Just to do what's good for you and inspire you a little higher
I know you can make a man out of a soul that didn't have a goa
Cause we, we got the right foundation and with love and determination
You're all, you're All I need to get by.
I all, you're all I want to strive for and do a little more
All, all the joys under the sun wrapped up into one
Many men with lofty aims
Strive for lofty goals
Others play at smaller games
Being simpler souls
I am of the latter brand
All I want to do
Is to find a plot of land
And live there with you
Someday, we'll build a home
On a hilltop high
You and I, shiny and new
A cottage that two can fill
And we'll be pleased to be called
The folks who live on the hill
Someday, we may be adding
A thing or two, a wing or two
We will make changes as any family will
But we will always be called
The folks who live on the hill
Our veranda will command
A view of meadows green
The sort of view that
Seems to want to be seen
And when the kids
Grow up and leave us
We'll sit and look at the
Same old view, just we two
Darby and Joan who
Used to be Jack and Jill
The folks like to be called
What they have always been called
I bet we've been together for a million years
And I'll bet we'll be together for a million more
Oh It's like I started breathing on the night we kissed
And I can't remember what I ever did before
What would we do baby without us
What would we do baby without us
And there ain't no nothing we can't help each other through
What would we do baby without us. Sha-la-la-la
If it's absolutely perfect, the last puzzle piece
And it all just comes together like we had it planned
Ooh, It's like when we share a secret we could never tell
'Cause no one else but you and me could understand
What would we do baby without us
What would we do baby without us
And there ain't no nothing we can't help each other through
What would we do baby without us. Sha-la-la-la
You've got my number, and I know you know it
And I'm stickin' with you 'til the end
Ooh, I'm in trouble if I ever lost you
I'd spend my whole life looking for you again
You've got my number, you've got my number, you've got my number
What would we do baby without us
What would we do baby without us
And there ain't no nothing we can't help each other through
What would we do baby without us. Sha-la-la-la
You've got my number, you've got my number, you've got my number. Sha-la-la-la
You've got my number, you've got my number, you've got my number. Sha-la-la-la
Look at me
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud
I can't understand
I get misty, just holding your hand
Walk my way
And a thousand violins begin to play
Or it might be the sound of your hello
That music I hear
I get misty the moment you're near
You can say that you're leading me on
But it's just what I want you to do
Don't you notice how hoplessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you
On my own
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I'm too misty and too much in love
(repeat after music interlude)
I'm dreaming tonight
Of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know
It's a long road back
I promise you
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree
Christmas eve will find you
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have some snow
And mistletoe
And presents by the tree
Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the Earth
To touch their harps of gold
Peace on the Earth, goodwill to men
From heaven's all gracious king
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing
Still through the cloven skies
They come
With peaceful wings unfurl
And still
Their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing
O ye
Beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow
Look now
For glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing
O rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing
For lo the days are hastening on
By prophets seen of old
When with the ever circling years
Shall come the time foretold
When the new heaven and earth
Shall own the prince of peace
Their King
And the whole world
Send back the song
The First Noel
The angels did say
Was to certain
Poor shepherds
In fields as they lay
In fields where they may
Keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night
That was so deep
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born
Is the King of Israel
They looked up
And saw a star
Shining in the East
Beyond them far
And to the Earth
It gave great light
And so it continued
Both day and night
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born
Is the King of Israel
Then entered
In those Wise men three
Full reverently
Upon their knee
And offered there
In His presence
Their gold and myrrh
And frankincense
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born
Is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born
Round
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On ever-spinning wheel
Like a snowball down the mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In The Windmills Of Your Mind
Like the tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shown
Like a door that keeps revolving
And a half-forgotten dream
Or the ripples from the pebble
Someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In The Windmills Of Your Mind
Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that dangle in your head
Why the summer goes so quickly
Was it something that you said
Lovers walk along the shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Is the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand
Pictures hanging in a hallway
And the fragments of a song
Half-remembered and faces
But to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
You were certainly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
Many a tear has to fall
But it's all in the game
All in the wonderful game
That we know has love
You have words with him
And your future's looking dim
But these things
Your hearts can rise above
Once in a while he won't call
Oh but it's all in the game
Soon he'll be there at your side
With a sweet, "Okay"
And he'll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting fingertips
And your heart will fly away
And he'll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting fingertips
Where do I begin?
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love he brings to me
Where do I start?
Where do I begin?
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love he brings to me
Where do I start?
Like a summer rain
That cools the pavement with a patent leather shine
He came into my life and made the living fine
And gave a meaning to this empty world of mine
He fills my heart
He fills my heart with very special things
With angels' songs, with wild imaginings
He fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go, I'm never lonely
With him along, who could be lonely?
I reach for his hand, it's always there
How long does it last?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now, but this much I can say
I'm going to need him till the stars all burn away
And he'll be there
He fills my heart with very special things
With angels' songs, with wild imaginings
He fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go, I'm never lonely
With him along, who could be lonely?
I reach for his hand, it's always there
How long does it last?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now, but this much I can say
I'm going to need him till the stars all burn away
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping at your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
Helps to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all a glow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa's on his way;
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
And every mother's child is going to 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 its been said many times, many ways,
Merry Christmas to you
