Some of my all-time favorite songs
(IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER)
A-M
"AFTER THE RAIN" |
After we love, we bathe in a glow Remembering what happened a moment ago Like after the rain, when the wind breezes a sigh While it's resting on pillows of sky Deep in your arms, it's peaceful and warm Together we lay in a calm that comes after a storm In a moment or two, we can hear the stars coming through I love the quiet right after the rain here with you
After the rain, the birds wanna fly The trees all in green hang the leaves out to dry Like puddles and pools, what your eyes let me see Are their loving reflections of me After a while, you touch me and then I feel like a flower that longs for a shower again
And then lost in a kiss, I could stay for hours like this Though I don't know just what magic the raindrops contain I know that everything's wonderful after the rain
"ALL IN LOVE IS FAIR" |
All is fair in love, Love’s a crazy game Two people vow to stay In love as one they say But all is changed with time The future none can see The road you leave behind Ahead lies mystery, but all is fair in love I have to go away A writer takes his pen to write the words again All in love is fair... All of fate's a chance It’s either good or bad I tossed my coin to say, to say In love with me you’d stay But all in war is so cold You either win or lose When all is put away The losing side I’ll play... All is fair in love I could have never left your side A writer takes his pen to write the words again That all in love is fair A writer takes his pen to write the words again... That all in love is fair...
"ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE" |
Time and again I‘ve longed for adventure Something can make my heart beat the faster What did I long for I never really knew Finding your love I found my adventure Touching your hand my heart beats the faster All that I want in all of this world As 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’ve known are what you are Someday my happy arms will hold And someday I’ll know that moment divine When all the things you are, are mine... Dah-dah-dah... Someday my happy arms will hold And someday I’ll know that moment divine When all the things you are, are mine... Too-too-mmm-dah-dah-dah...
"APRES UN REVE" |
Dans un sommeil que charmait ton image Je revais le bonheur, ardent mirage; Tes yeux etaient plus doux, ta voix pure et sonore Tu rayonnais comme un ciel eclaire par l'aurore; Tu m'appelais, et je quittais la terre Pour m'enfuir avec toi vers la lumiere; Les cieux pour nous entr'ouvraient leurs nues; Splendeurs inconnues, lueurs divines entrevues... Helas, helas, triste reveil des songes ! Je t'apelle, o nuit, rends-moi tes mensonges; Reviens, reviens radieuse, Reviens, o nuit mysterieuse!
"AS IF WE NEVER SAID GOODBYE" (From SUNSET BOULEVARD) |
I don't know why I'm frightened I know my way around here The cardboard trees, the painted scenes, the sound here Yes a world to rediscover, But I'm not in any hurry And I need a moment The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways, The atmosphere as thrilling here as always Feel the early morning madness Feel the magic in the making Why everything's as if we never said goodbye I've spent so many mornings Just trying to resist you I'm trembling now You can't know how I've missed you, Missed the fairy-tail adventures In this ever-spinning playground We were young together I'm coming out of make-up The lights already burning, Not long until the camera's will start turning And the early morning madness And the magic in the making Yes everything is as if we never said goodbye I don't want to be alone that's all in the past, This world has waited long enough I've come home at last And this time will be bigger, And brighter than we knew it So watch me fly, we all know I can do it Could I stop my hand from shaking? Has there ever been a moment with so much to live for? The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways So much to say not just today but always We'll have early morning madness We'll have magic in the making Yes everything is as if we never said goodbye Oh, please don't ever ever make me say goodbye!!!
"AS TIME GOES BY" |
You must remember this, A kiss is just 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, No matter what the future brings, As time goes by.
Moonlight and love songs, Never out of date, Hearts full of passion, Jealousy and hate, Woman needs man, and man must have his mate, There's no one can deny.
It's still the same old story, A fight for love and glory, A case of do or die, The world will always welcome lovers, As time goes by.
"AUF DEM WASSER ZU SINGEN" |
Uber den Wipfeln des westlichen Haines Winket uns freundlich der rotliche Schein; Unter den Zweigen des ostlichen Haines Sauselt der Kalmus im rotlichen Schein Unter den Zweigen des ostlichen Haines Sauselt der Kalmus im rotlichen Schein;
[Spoken]
Ach! They just don’t write tunes like that anymore: "Auf Dem Wasser zu Singen". It is really one of my favorites and I’m sure it’s one of yours! In fact it it so much fun to sing...Why don’t you join in with me for the last chorus and..er...you know, sing along with Schubert?
[Singing]
Bis ich auf hoherem strahlendem Flugel Selber entschwinde der wechselnden Zeit. Sel...wonderful, wonderful.. Selber entschwinde der wechselnden Zeit... Terrific!
"AUTUMN LEAVES" |
Et les vents du Nord, les emportant Dans la nuit blanche de n’oubli Que moi, je n’ai pas oublie La chanson que tu me chantais The falling leaves drift by the window The autumn leaves of red and gold I see your lips, the summer kisses The sun-burned hands I used to hold Since you went away the days grew long And soon I’ll hear old winter song But I miss you most of all, my darling When the autumn leaves start to fall...
"AVINU MALKEINU" |

"BEAU SOIR" |
Lorsque au soleil couchant les rivieres sont roses, Et qu'un tiede frisson court sur les champs de ble, Un conseil d'etre heureux semble sortir des choses Et monter vers le coeur trouble. Un conseil de gouter le charme d'etre au monde Cependant qu'on est jeune et que le soir est beau Car nous nous en allons, Comme s'en va cette onde: Elle a la mer, Nous au tombeau
"BEING AT WAR WITH EACH OTHER" |
Everyone comes from One father one mother So why do we complicate Our lives so much By being at war with each other Mmm...maybe I’m crazy But I don't understand it Why do we seem to vote To dig more holes It's such a waste of a planet There must be a reason That I can’t see Maybe somebody else now Knows better than me All I know is Everyone else is A sister or a brother So we've got to look around Again and stop Being at war with each other Being at war with each other Oh. . . Maybe I'm crazy But I don't No, I don't understand it (There must be a reason) There must be a reason (There must be a reason) There must be a reason That I can’t see Somebody else must be Better than me AII I know is Everyone else is A sister or brothers So we've got to look around Again and stop Being at war with each other Being at war with each other...
"THE BEST THING YOU’VE EVER DONE" |
Aren't you glad its finally over? Don't you feel a whole lot better? Isn't it a joy to lie alone at night? Aren't people more exciting? Doesn't music have more meaning? Don't you close your eyes The moment you close the light
To be rid of all the feelings How it cluttered up the morning To be free of all the memories Every one Take a bow then take another Isn't loneliness a winner Wasn't leaving me The best thing you've ever done
To be rid of all the feelings How it cluttered up the morning To be free of all the memories Every one Take a bow then take another Isn't loneliness a winner Wasn't leaving me The best thing you've ever done
"BETWEEN YESTERDAY AND TOMORROW" |
Between yesterday and tomorrow There is more, there is more than a day Between day and night Between black and white There is more, there is more than gray Between the question and the answer There is the silence of the see Between the cradle and the grave There is the someone that is me Between yesterday and tomorrow There is more there is more than a day There is every dawn you've ever seen And every wind you've ever heard There is every hand you've ever touched Or that ever was, or that could have been Or that should have been Between yesterday and tomorrow There is more, there is more than a day Between day and night Between black and white There is more, there is more than gray Between the summer and the winter There is a multitude of falls Between the entry and the exit There's a lover and a cause Between yesterday and tomorrow There is more, there is more Then a day There is every plan dare ever make And every dream you dare to dream There every word you hope to say Or that's yet to be Or that ought to be All that has to be Between yesterday and tomorrow Between yesterday and tomorrow
"BEWITCHED (BOTHERED AND BEWILDERED)" |
I'm wild again, beguiled again A simpering, whimpering child again Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I... Could not sleep, would not sleep Till love came and told me I should not sleep Bothered and bewildered am I... Lost my heart, so what of it? He was cold, I agree, He can laugh and I love it Although the laugh's on me; I'll sing to him, each spring to him And long for the day when I'll cling to him, Bewitched, bothered so bewildered am I...
"BY THE WAY" |
By the way did I hear you say If some night I seem too lonely You would stay Oh and by the way Have I told you yet that only recently He moved out on me Took the towels we stole From some motel in Tennessee He was gone long before he really left I knew it ... By the way he began to say: Love takes time, I’m in a hurry Anyway that’s all yesterday Let’s get back to us Why worry? If you try calling by and by Oh, and by the I thought I mention You can’t stay... Near the lights You don’t look a thing like he did And it’s time to play It’s another day Why can’t we make love fall By the way?
"CAN'T HELP LOVIN' THAT MAN" (From "Show Boat") |
Oh listen sister, I love my mister man, And I can't tell you why There is no reason why I should love that man, It must be somethin' that de angels have planned. Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, I gotta love one man till I die. Can't help lovin' that man of mine. Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow, Tell me I'm crazy, maybe I know. Can't help lovin' that man of mine When he goes away, that's a rainy day, And when he comes back that day is fine, The sun will shine! He can come home as late as can be, Home without him ain't no home to me, Can't help lovin' that man of mine. Can't help lovin' that man of mine.
"CAN YOU TELL THE MOMENT?" |
Can you tell the moment Spring becomes the summer Maybe it's a moment Only known to a tree Even as we're watching Blades of grass are growing Leaps and bounds so tiny That our eyes can not see And how does a bud Decides it's a rose Perhaps there's a time When it somehow knows it Can you tell the moment If there's such a moment When you just become what you are Not before Is there any sign or warning Or do you awake one morning Knowing that you must have turned a special corner Maybe in an April shower Something tells a bud to flower What is it that tells you you're a child no more
"A CHRISTMAS LOVE SONG" |
All I want for Christmas is you You’re the gift that's made my dreams all come true All I need for Christmas is here
Finding every sweet surprise wrapped up in your eyes Waiting there for me underneath the tree
We'll the spend the day exchanging kisses Smile and say ‘What a Christmas this is’ Long before the snowflakes appear Without bells or mistletoe or the tinsle silver glow You just look at me and Oh! Christmas is here! We will smile and say What a Christmas This is Long before the snowflakes appear Without bells or mistletoe Or the tinsle silver glow You just have to look at me and Oh! Christmas is here...
"CLOSE TO YOU" (duet with Burt Bucharach) |
Why do birds suddenly appear Every time you are near Just like me They long to be Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky Every time you walk by Just like me They long to be Close to you
On the day that you were born The angels got together and Decided to create a dream come true So they sprinkled moondust in your hair And golden starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town Follow you all around Just like me They long to be Close to you
That is why all the girls in town Follow you all around Just like me They long to be Close to you
Just like me Close to you They want to be Close to you Just like me Close to you Just like me Close to you
"CLOSER" |
As close as the sea is to the seashore The tide still rises twice a day That's just the ocean's way of getting closer Closer
As close as today is to tomorrow At midnight they can finally touch 'Cause every minute brings them too much closer Closer
So on this silent night I call your name and suddenly All time and space between us disappear
I see your face in firelight I hold you close in memory And even though I know you're gone, I know you're here
As close as the glow is to the ember You've always been a part of me Now living in my heart you're even closer Closer I see your face in firelight I hold you close in memory And even though I know you're gone, I know you're here
As sure as there's snowfall in December Your love lives on in everything Summer, winter, fall or spring Every thought of you will bring us closer Closer
The distance may be large or small Someday I pray that we may all be closer Closer

"DEEP IN THE NIGHT" |
Deep in the night, I remember There I am reaching for you Longing to turn to you That's all I want oh so much Deep in the night I need you To touch me
Deep in the night, I wait for daylight Daytimes I always get through But when the sun goes down That's when I feel I feel oh so alone Deep in the night I need you To hold me
Read a book and I think about you Put it down and I think about you I make some coffee and I think about you Wash up the cup and I think about you Wind the clock and I think about you Turn on the light and I think about you When I punch the pillow and I think about you
Deep in the night I feel lonely Why didn't I try someone new? It didn't work out I know But I know but I know Because I try I try Deep in the night I need you beside me Deep deep in the night.
"DOING THE REACTIONARY" |
It’s darker than the dark bottom It rumbles more than the Rumba If you think that the two-steps got ‘em Just take a look at this number It’s got that certain swing That makes you wanna sing
Don’t go left, but be polite Move to the right Doing the reactionary
Close your eyes to where you’re bound And you’ll be found Doing the reactionary
All the best dictators do it Millionaires keep steppin’ to it The Four Hundred love to sing it Ford and Morgan swing it
Hands up high and shake your head You’ll soon see red Doing the reactionary
Don’t go left, but be polite Move to the right Doing the reactionary
Close your eyes to where you’re bound And you’ll be found Doing the reactionary
All the best dictators do it Millionaires keep steppin’ to it The Four Hundred love to sing it Ford and Morgan swing it
Hands up high and shake your head You’ll soon see red Doing the reac- Doing the reac- Tionary
So get in it, begin it It’s smart, oh, so very smart To do the reactionary!
"DON'T RAIN ON MY PARADE" |
Don't tell me not to live Just sit and putter Life's candy and the sun's A ball of butter Don't bring around a cloud To rain on my parade
Don't tell me not to fly I've simply got to If someone takes a spill It's me and not you Who told you you're allowed To rain on my parade.
I'll march my band out I'll beat my drum And if I'm fanned out You'll turn at that, sir At least I didn't fake it Hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it, But where they're on the rows of sheer perfection A freckle on the nose of life's complexion The cinder or the shiny apple of its eye I gotta fly once I gotta try once Only can die once Right, sir, Ooh life is juicy, Juicy and you see I'm gonna have my bite, sir
Get ready for me love coz I'm a comin' I'm simply gotta march, my heart's a drummin' Don't bring around the cloud To rain on my parade
I'm gonna live and live now Get what I want, I know how, One road for the whole shebang One throw the bell will go clang Eye on the target and wham One shot, one gunshot and bam! Hey Mr Arnstein, here I am.
I'll march my band out I'll keep my strum And if I'm fanned out You'll turn at that, sir At least I didn't fake it Hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it, Get ready for me love coz I'm a comin' I'm simply gotta march, my heart's a drummin' Nobody, nobody is gonna rain on my parade.

"EVERGREEN" |
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 Every day 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 the midnight sun Time we've learned to sail above Time won't change the meaning of one love Ageless and ever, evergreen.
"EVERYTHING MUST CHANGE" |
Everything must change Nothing stays the same Everyone must change No one stays the same The young become the old And mysteries do unfold Cause that's the way of time Nothing and no one goes unchanged There are not many things in life You can be sure of Except rain comes from the clouds Sun lights up the sky And hummingbirds do fly Winter turns to spring A wounded heart will heal But never much too soon Yes Everything must change The young become the old And mysteries do unfold Cause that's the way of time Nothing and no one goes unchanged There are not many things in life You can be sure of Except rain comes from the clouds Sun lights up the sky And butterflies do fly Rain comes from the clouds Sun lights up the sky And music And music Makes me cry
"FUNNY GIRL" |
Funny Did you hear that? Funny Yeah, the guy said "Honey, you're a funny girl." That's me I just keep them in stitches Doubled in half, And though I may be all wrong for a guy, I'm good for a laugh, I guess it's not funny, Life is far from sunny, When the laugh is over And the joke's on you, A girl oughta have a sense of humor That's one thing you really need for sure When you're a funny girl The fella said "A funny girl" Funny How it ain't so funny, Funny girl
G
"GOD, BLESS THE CHILD" |

Yes, the strong gets more While the weak one's fade Empty pockets don't ever make the grade Mama may have Papa may have But God bless the child That's got his own That's got his own
Mother, mamie, mamie You've got lots of friends Crowding 'round and crowding 'round your door When you're gone And you've spent all ends They don't come around no more Rich relations give Crust of bread and such You can help yourself But don't take too much Your mama may have Papa he may have But God bless the child That got his own That got is own

"I BELIEVE"/"YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE" |
I believe for every drop of rain that falls A flower grows I believe that somewhere in the darkest night A candle glows I believe for every one who goes astray Someone will come To show the way I believe I believe I believe above the storm a smallest prayer Will still be heard And I believe that someone in the great somewhere His every word Every time I hear a newborn baby cry Or touch a leaf Or see a star Then I know why I believe
When you walk Through a storm Hold your head up high And don't be afraid Of the dark At the end of the storm Is a golden sky And the sweet silver song of a lark Walk on through the wind Walk on through the rain Though your dreams be tossed And blown Walk on Walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
I believe I believe I believe
"I BELIEVE IN LOVE" |
(Feeling love is feeling good I believe in love) Yeah (Feeling love is feeling good I believe in love) Yeah
Feeling love… that's all, That's enough for me, Yet I see… I see… Faces… Covered-up and empty-eyed, Empty spaces… Where there used to be a soul inside.
Nothing and no-one ever gets to you, Seems the wind could blow right through you, Believing in Gods that never knew you. I believe in love, I believe in love I believe in feeling good, and that's feeling love.
Now, worry… climbing up your money tree, You got to hurry… monkey do what monkey see. You're on a one-way street and you're speeding, Missing the signs you oughta be reading, Passing things you'll later be needing I believe in love… what?
I believe it - nobody sold me Always knew it - nobody told me I believe in someone to hold me I believe in love, I believe in love, I do Yes, I believe in feeling good And that's feeling love…
(Feeling love is feeling good) Feeling love… that's all, That's enough for me, I won't be…
Don't want to be lonely… Sleeping in an empty bed Shouldn't be only a place to rest my head But I don't wanna find myself one day Waking up and looking at Monday With some "what's his name" left from Sunday I believe in love… what!
I believe it - nobody sold me Always knew it - nobody told me I believe in someone to hold me I believe in love, I believe in love, I do I believe in feeling good Now everybody should Believe in feeling good Believin', Believin' love!
"I DON'T CARE MUCH" |
I don't care much
Go or stay
I don't care very much
Either way
Hearts grow hard
On a windy street
Lips grow cold
With the rent to meet me
So if you kiss me
If we touch
Warning's fair,
I don't care very much
I don't care much
Go or stay
I don't care
Very much
Either way
Words sound false
When your coat's too thin
Feet don't waltz
When the roof caves in
So if you kiss me
If we touch
Warning's fair
I don't care
Very much...
"I DON'T KNOW WHERE I STAND" |
Funny day Looking for laughter And finding it there Sunny day Braiding wild flowers And leaves in my hair Picked up a pencil And wrote "I LOVE YOU" In my finest hand Wanted to send it But I don't know Where I stand Telephone Even the sound of your voice Is still new All alone in California I'm talking to you I'm feeling too foolish and strange To say the words that I had planned I guess it's too early Cause I don't know Where I stand Doo-doo-doo-ooh Crickets call Courting the ladies In starred apple green Thicket's tall Until the morning Comes up like a dream How muted and misty Such rouse And I'll take What sleep I can I know that I miss you But I don't know Where I stand I know that I miss you But I don't know Where I stand
"I LOVES YOU

"I HAVE DREAMED/ WE KISS IN A SHADOW/ SOMETHING WONDERFUL" |
We kiss in a shadow We hide from the moon Our meetings are few And over too soon
I have dreamed That your arms Are lovely... I have dreamed What a joy You'll be... I have dreamed Every word you whisper (We speak in a whisper) When you're close to me Close to me
Afraid to be heard Alone in our secret Together we sigh For one smiling day To be free...
How you look In the glow of evening (To kiss in the sunlight) I have dreamed And enjoyed the view (And say to the sky... )
In these dreams I've loved you so That by now I think I know What it's like to be loved by you (Behold and believe) I will love Being loved by you
He will not always say What you would have him say But now and then he'll say Something wonderful
The thoughtless things he'll do Will hurt and worry you Then all at once, he'll do Something wonderful
He has a thousand dreams That won't come true You know that he believes in them And that's enough for you
You'll always go along Defend him when he's wrong And tell him when he's strong He is wonderful.
He'll always need your love And so he'll get your love A man who needs your love Can be wonderful!
"I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS" |
I'm dreaming tonight Of a place I love Even than 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 some snow And mistletoe And presents round the tree
Christmas eve is gonna find me 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 lots of mistletoe And presents round that tree
Christmas eve is gonna find me Where the love light gleams I'll be home for Christmas If only in my dreams If only in my dreams....
"I NEVER HAS SEEN SNOW" |
I done lost my ugly spare I am cheerful now got the warmth all over To smother my worried brow Oh the girl I use to be She ain't me no more I closed the door on the girl I was before Feeling fine and full of bliss What I really wanna say is this I never has seen snow All the same I know Snow ain't so beautiful Can't be so beautiful Like my love is Like my love is Nothing do compare Nothing any where with my love A hundred things I see A twilight sky that tree But none so beautiful Not one so beautiful Like my love is Like my love is Once you see his face None can take the place of my love A stone rolled of my heart When I laid my eyes on that Near of me boy with that far away look And right from the start I saw a new horizon And a road to take me where I wanted to be took Needed to be took Needed to be took Oh! I never has seen snow All the same I know Nothing will ever be Nothing can ever be Beautiful as my love is Like my love is to me Nothing is as beautiful To me
"I NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU" |
I never meant to hurt you I’m not that way at all Please believe the words of the heart A heart that seems so small And I swear I never meant to hurt you I guess I lost my place Please, believe the wards of the heart A heart that hides its fails Why do I do things I never mean to do? Oh, why did I speak so carelessly When all that I felt Was love for you? And I swear I never I never meant to hurt you I've got to make you know Please, believe the words of the heart A heart that didn’t show I never meant to hurt you I only meant to love you It’s true And when I saw you crying I cried too...
"I KNOW HIM SO WELL" |
Nothing is so good that lasts eternally Perfect situations must go wrong But this has never yet prevented me Wanting far too much for far too long.
Looking back I could have played it differently One of few more moments who can tell But it took time to understand the man Now at least I know I know him well.
Wasn't it good? Oh so good Wasn't he fine? Oh so fine Isn't it madness he can't be mine? But in the end he needs A little bit more than me More She needs security He needs his fantasy and freedom I know him so well.
No one in your life is with you constantly No one is completely on your side And though I move my world to be with him Still the gap between us is too wide.
Looking back I could have played it differently Could have played things some other way. Learn about the man before I fell I was just a little careless But I was ever so much younger then. I was so much younger then Now at least I know I know him well Wasn't it good? Oh so good Wasn't he fine? Oh so fine Isn't it madness he won't be mine? Didn't I know how it would go? If I knew from the start Why am I falling apart? Wasn't he fine? Isn't it madness He won't be mine? But in the end he needs a little bit more than me More She needs security He needs his Fantasy and freedom I know him so well It took time to understand me I know him so well.
"I WONDER AS I WANDER" |
I wonder as I wander out under the sky How Jesus, the Savior Did come for to die For poor only people Like you and like I I wonder as I wander out under the sky If Jesus had wanted far anything Star in the sky or a bird on the wing... Or all of God's angels And Heaven for to sing He surely could help it For He was the king I wander as I wander out under the sky How Jesus, the Savior Did come for to die For poor only people Like you and like I I wonder as I wander out under the sky
"I WON'T LAST A DAY WITHOUT YOU" |
Day after day I must face a world of strangers Where I don't belong, I'm not that strong It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to Who will always care, you're always there
When there's no getting over that rainbow When my smallest of dreams won't come true I can take all the madness the world has to give But I won't last a day without you
So many times when the city seems to be without a friendly face, A lonely place It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you And you'll always smile, it's all worthwhile
When there's no getting over that rainbow When my smallest of dreams won't come true I can take all the madness the world has to give But I won't last a day without you
Touch me and I end up singing Troubles seem to up and disappear You touch me with the love you're bringing
I can't really lose when you're near, when you're near And love, if all my friends have forgotten half their promises They're not unkind, just hard to find One look at you and I know that I could learn to live Without the rest, I found the best
When there's no getting over that rainbow When my smallest of dreams won't come true I can take all the madness the world has to give But I won't last a day without you
When there's no getting over that rainbow When my smallest of dreams won't come true I can take all the madness the world has to give But I won't last a day without you
"IF I CLOSE MY EYES" |
If I close my eyes I can fly, If I close my eyes If I close my eyes I can fly, I can drink the rain And taste the sky, I can catch the wind And make it mine Like the sun I shine.
Suddenly a door Opens wide To a thousand paths I've never tried "Follow follow me" I hear them say And you'll find Your way
Maybe dream's a dream So that we can see Just how real the dawn Can be.
All the dawn can be Comes as no surprise If I simply close my eyes.
"IF I COULD" |
If I Could I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes Give you courage in a world of compromise Yes I would If I could I would teach you all the things I've never learned And I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned Yes I would If I could I would try to shield your innocence from time But the part of life I gave you isn't mine I've watched you grow So I could let you go If I could I would help you make it through the hungry years But I know that I can never cry your tears But I would If I could If I live in a time and place where you don't want to be You don't have to walk along this road with me My yesterday won't have to be your way If I knew How I'd try to change the world I brought you to And there isn't very much that I can do But I would If I could If I could I would try to shield your innocence from time But that part of life I gave you isn't mine I watched you grow so I could let you go If, if I could I would help you make it through those hungry years But I know that I can never cry your tears But I would If I could Yes I would Yes I would If I could
"IF I LOVE AGAIN" |
I often wonder why he came to me Brought such a flame to me Then let it die And if another love should find my heart It will remind my heart of your goodbye With every new love You’ll come back to me In other eyes it’s you I see If I love again Though it’s someone new If I love again It will still be you In someone else’s firm embrace I close my eyes but see your face If I love again I’ll find another charms But I’ll make believe You are in my arms And though my lips whisper "I love you!" My heart will not be true I’ll be loving you Every time I love again...
"IF I LOVED YOU" |
If I loved you Time and again I would try to say All I'd want you to know
If I loved you Words wouldn't come In an easy way Round in circles I'd go
Longing to tell you But afraid and shy I'd let my golden chances Pass me by
Soon you'd leave me, Off you would go In the mist of day, Never never to know How I loved you If I loved you.
"IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND" |
If you could read my mind, love, What a tale my thoughts could tell Just like an old time movie 'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well In a castle dark or a fortress strong With chains upon my feet You know that ghost is me And I will never be set free As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see.
If I could read your mind, love, What a tale your thoughts could tell, Just like a paperback novel The kind that drugstores sell When you reach the part Where the heartaches come The hero would be me But heroes often fail And you won't read that book again Because the ending's just too hard to take.
I'd walk away like a movie star Who gets burned in a three way script Enter number two A movie queen to play the scene Of bringing all the good things out in me But for now love, let's be real I never thought I could feel this way And I've got to say that I just don't get it I don't know where we went wrong But the feeling's gone And I just can't get it back.
If you could read my mind love What a tale my thoughts could tell Just like an old time movie 'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well In a castle dark or a fortress strong With chains upon my feet But stories always end And if you read between the lines You'll know that I'm just tryin' to understand The feeling's that you lack I never thought I could feel this way And I've got to say that I just don't get it I don't know where we went wrong But the feeling's gone And I just can't get it back.
"I'M ALL SMILES" |
I'm all smiles, darling You'd be too If you knew, darling All of the smiles were for you I'm all chills, darling Through and through But my cold hands, darling Warm to the touch of you Rain hasn't fallen for days now But rainbows are filling the skies My heart must have painted those rainbows Shining before my eyes Can't you tell that I'm in love, darling? Deep and true, with guess who, darling Someone I die for Beg steal or lie for Eat humble pie for Someone to fly To the sun, moon and sky for Someone to live for To love with and cry for And that someone is you...
"I’M ALWAYS CHASING RAINBOWS" |
I'm always chasing rainbows Watching clouds drifting by My schemes are just like all my dreams Ending in the sky
Some fellas look and find the sunshine I always look and find the rain Some fellas make a winning sometime I never even make a game
Believe me I'm always chasing rainbows And waiting to find a little bluebird In vain
I'm always chasing rainbows And waiting to find a little bluebird In vain Mmm…
"THE ISLAND" |
Make believe we've landed On a desert island Bathe me in the waters Warm in the moonlight Taste me with your kisses Find my secret places Touch me till I tremble Free my wings for flying And catch me when I'm falling Keep your arms around me Like there's no tomorrow Let me know you love me
On our little island Not a soul can see us Show me how to love you Teach me how to please you Lay your dreams beside me Only stars will listen To our cries and whispers You were made to love me And I was made to love you Keep your arms around me Lose yourself inside me Make it last forever
I can see the island Shining in the distance Now we're getting closer Keep your arms around me Oh now we're almost there Oooooh…
On our little island Not a soul can hear us Silently exchanging Fantasies and feelings Endlessly exploring Learning one another Till the morning finds us You were made to love me And I was made to love you Keep your arms around me Lose yourself completely Make it last forever
I can see the island Shining there before us Now we're getting closer Just keep your arms around me Come my love, we're there….
"ISN'T IT A PITY?" |
It's a funny thing. I look at you. I get a thrill I never knew. Isn't it a pity We never met before?
Here we are at last. It's like a dream. The two of us A perfect team. Isn't it a pity We never met before?
Imagine all the lonely years we've wasted. Me with the neighbors. You at silly labors. What joys untasted. My nights were sour, Spent with Schopenhauer
Let's forget the past. Let's both agree That I'm for you And you're for me. And it's such a pity We never, never met before.
Imagine all the years we've wasted. Fishing for salmon Losing at backgammon. What joys untasted. Me at the Prado, You in Colorado.
Happiest of girls I'm sure to be If only you would say to me That it's such a pity We never met before. What an awful pity We never, never met before.
"ISN'T THIS BETTER" |
I loved the man Truly I did When he would touch me I act like a love-hungry kid Isn't this better Somebody nice somebody new Someone who lets me react as I normally do Isn't this better Better Passion is fine but passion burns fast Passions design seems never to last Better a match better a blend Who needs a lover I need a friend Now I am calm, safe and serene Heartache and hurt are no longer a part of the scene Isn't this better The way it should be Better for him And also much better for me Isn't this better Better Passion is fine but passion burns fast Passions design seems never to last Better a match better a blend Who needs a lover I need a friend Now I am calm, safe and serene Heartache and hurt are no longer a part of the scene Isn't this better The way it should be Better for him Much better for him And also much better for me
"IT MUST BE YOU" |
It must be you. Making me feel things I can't explain. For some reason I'm just laughing at the rain. I can't believe who I am has changed to suddenly. I'm doing things I never thought I'd do. This is not like me. It must be you.
It's must be love. Nothing else could turn me upside down. Or plant my feet so firmly on the ground. What's happening? Everything I say I wanna sing. Everything I've dreamed is coming true. What's this feeling in my heart? It must be you.
Hold me now like this forever Let this moment go on endlessly. I'm alive when you're beside me. That's how I know that we were meant to be. Ooooh.
What's happening? Everything I say I want to sing. Everything I've dreamed is coming true. What's this feeling in my heart? It must be you. It must be you.
"IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE MISTLETOE" |
It must have been the mistletoe The lazy fire, the falling snow The magic in the frosty air That feeling everywhere
It must have been the pretty lights That glistened in the silent night It may be just the stars so bright That shined above you
Our first Christmas More than we'd be dreaming of Ah, Saint Nicholas had his fingers crossed That we would fall in love!
It could have been the holiday, The midnight ride upon sleigh The countryside all dressed in white The crazy snowball fight!
It could have been the steeplebell That wrapped us up in its spell It only took one kiss to know It must have been the mistletoe!
Our first Christmas More than we'd be dreaming of Ah, St. Nicholas must have known that kiss Would lead to all of this!!
It must have been the mistletoe The lazy fire, the falling snow The magic in the frosty air That made me love you! On Christmas eve our wish came true That I would fall in love with you It only took one kiss to know It must have been the mistletoe! It must have been the mistletoe! It must have been the mistletoe!
"I'VE NEVER BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE" (From GUYS AND DOLLS) |
I've never been in love before Now all at once it is you It is you forever more I've never been in love before I thought my heart was safe I thought I knew the score But this is why That's all too strange and strong and full of foolish song and out my song pall So please forgive this helpless haze I'm in I've never really been in love before So this is why that's all too strange and strong and full of foolish song and out my song must pall So please forgive this helpless haze I'm in I've never really been in love before!

"JUST A LITTLE LOVIN' " |
Just a little lovin' Early in the morning Beats a cup of coffee For starting off the day Just a little lovin' When the world is young And makes you wake up Feeling good things Are coming your way This old world wouldn't be half as bad And wouldn't be half as sad If each and everybody in it had Just a little lovin' Early in the morning A little extra something To kinda see them through Nothing turns the day on Or really gets it dawning Like a little bit of lovin' From some lovin' someone like you This old world couldn't be half as bad And wouldn't be half as sad If each and everybody in it had Just a little lovin' Early in the morning Just a little lovin' Early in the day Just a little lovin' Early in the morning...
"JUST IN TIME" |
Just in time I found you just in time Before you came, my time Was running low, I was lost, The losing dice were tossed, My bridges all were crossed Nowhere to go, Now you're here And now I know just where I'm going No more doubt or fear I found my way For love came just in time I found you just in time And changed my lonely life and lucky day
NO SONGS
"LEADING WITH YOUR HEART" |
Mmmm, Mmmm, Once upon a time I was afraid Of letting go Letting someone in My feelings stayed Behind a door that had no key Leading with my heart Never was for me Living in my mind Running away Till someone's arms Caught me by surprise I never knew The power of love that I suppose Deep in every heart There's a part that knows Listen to it's voice For it whispers what your dreams are made of So why be afraid of What you know is true Every day you learn Leading with your heart Can lift you higher Where your hearts desire Will be waiting for you Follow what you feel Feelings are wise Believe your heart As you believe your eyes And like a child Who's wandered off and lost its way You can find a place Where you soul believes That your home to stay Follow what you feel Anywhere it goes Believe your heart Trusting that it knows As the dark of night Will always find the light of day Listening with your heart You will hear it say Leading with your heart You will find your way
"LETTERS THAT CROSS IN THE MAIL" |
Last month While thinking of love I wrote him some words and mailed them away But the next day I found at my door a letter from Spain He’d sent long before And it’s not read I haven’t heard from you in weeks I must assume that you no longer care Too bad that’s it, goodbye It’s just amazing How loving can fail From letters that cross in the mail A life, a love, a chance to win it all Can pass you by, in the far gone seen And you think you’ll find your fate tomorrow night And he finds somebody else in-between I sat with swords in my heart And pen in a hand I wrote I’m glad that we’re through Full of hate I mailed it But then in a week a letter arrived With love did it speak I loved the tender words you sent It seems I wronged you please forgive me I’ll return by ship real soon But I know now that he’ll never sail Our letters will cross in the mail It’s just amazing How time brings a loss And loving can fail Like letters that cross in the mail...
"LIFE ON MARS" |
It's a god-awful small affair To the girl with the mousy hair But her mother is yelling "No" And her daddy has told her to go But her friend is nowhere to be seen As she walks through her sunken dream To the seat with the clearest view And she's hooked to the silver screen But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more She could spit in the eyes of fools As they ask her to focus on…
Sailors fighting in the dance hall Oh man! Look at those cavemen go It's the freakiest show, Take a look at the Lawman Beating up the wrong guy, Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know He's in the best selling show Is there life on Mars?
It's on America's tortured brow Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow Now the workers have struck for fame 'Cause Lennon's on sale again, See the mice in their million hordes From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads, Rule Britannia is out of bounds To my mother, my dog, and clowns, But the film is a saddening bore 'Cause I wrote it ten times before It's about to be writ again As I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall Oh man! Look at those cavemen go It's the freakiest show, Take a look at the Lawman Beating up the wrong guy, Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know He's in the best selling show Is there life on Mars?
"LIFE STORY" |
Don't want to stay here Not very nice You boiled me over Now you're cold as ice From what you gave me To what you made me I should be homeward bound Why am I hangin' round knowing You're life story began with somebody else Find your glory out there with somebody else I'll be where you find me I'll be somebody else Somebody else Dog in the manger Teller of lies I see a stranger laughing in your eyes Though I don't know how I'm in the way now No matter what you do I go on loving you knowing Your life story began with somebody else Find your glory out there with somebody else I’ll be where you find me I'll be somebody else Deeper than your valleys Longer than your memory I got to your story's end Your life story began with somebody else Find your glory out there with somebody else I'll be where you find me I'll be somebody else Somebody else, Somebody else, Somebody else Somebody else, Somebody else, Somebody else I'll be somebody else... I'll be somebody else...
"LOST INSIDE OF YOU" |
Time has come again And love is in the wind Like some music in a dream You made them all come true When you came inside of my life Now I'm lost Inside of you Lost in the music And lost in your eyes I could spend all of my time Hearing songs you sing Feeling love you bring Darling being close to you Made all ... Made all my dreams come true When you came inside my life Now I'm lost inside of you
"LOVE" |
Love is real, real is love, Love is feeling, feeling love, Love is wanting to be loved Love is touch, touch is love Love is reaching, reaching love Love is asking to be loved.
Love is you, you and me, Love is knowing it can be Love is free, free is love Love is living, living love Love is needing to be loved.
"LOVE IN THE AFTERNOON" |
Love in the Afternoon, Love in the Afternoon He walked right up and told me that he liked my style I noticed something different in the way he smiled He said "You're quite a lady and I know a place that's shady Would you like to come and lie with me awhile?"
And deep in my soul I could feel a quiver Then he went down and found that sweet old river And he showed me the way to find love in the afternoon.
I knew he was a stranger but I didn't care We had something in common but it wasn't clear He said that life's a lover when you love and like no other Don't you think it's time for you to get your share?
And deep in my soul I could feel a quiver Then he went down and found that sweet old river And he showed me the way to find love in the afternoon.
Mmmmmm… I never could remember or recall his name But I hang on to that memory just the same I know it makes me crazy, it makes my head all hazy To think about the way he played that game
And deep in my soul I could feel a quiver Then he went down and found that sweet old river And he showed me the way to find love in the afternoon.
Yes, deep in my soul, I could feel a quiver Then he went down and found that sweet old river And he showed me the way to find, Showed me and showed me and showed me The way to find love in the afternoon
"LOVE WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS" |
My dearest love who existed in a dream till this evening When a wave came and swept me out to sea, None of the loves that you known could prepare you For the love raging everywhere in me.
For all the arms that have covered you, The hands that have touched you, And the lips you have lingered on before, Added together would be less than an Hors d'ouvre In the banquet of love I have in store
Love seasoned to entice, Love with all the trimmings Filled with spice, Love flavored to your whim Served piping hot with all the trimmings. Mmmm…
For I'll decode every breath and every sigh Till your every lover's wish is fulfilled before it's made, Toss in some jealousy and doubt Should it be required, Not rest till there's nothing more desired, Thus loving as I do Never never will you ever be untrue, Having love with all the trimmings Waiting all for you.
"THE LOVE INSIDE" |
So the word is goodbye Makes no difference how the tears are cried It's over And my heart lives alone I can make believe you need me When it's over
And we can't take it home The fire that was burning When all around was turning And we were cruising for the ride
Got to give a little of the love inside Not to take it all And watch me fall I got me loving you I had you loving me
And we both played along Love is easy on the young Life was together As the world fades away Into yesterday I'm losing you forever
I'm just an empty shell With nothing for tomorrow I'm here to face the sorrow The dream we sailed was far & wide
Got to give a little of the love inside Not to take apart This breaking heart I got me loving you I had you loving me
So the word is goodbye Makes no difference how the tears are cried It's over And my heart lives alone I can make believe you need me When it's over
And we can't take it home The fire that is burning When all around is turning The dream we sailed was far & wide
Got to give a little of the love inside The love inside The love inside (Repeat till fade…)
"LOVE IS ONLY LOVE" |
Dolly: Horace Vandergelder, Mrs. Horace Vandergelder Just leave ev'rything to me Though it wont be like the first time How can it be like the first time? But Why does it have to be? Don't look for shooting stars For love is only love You touch and still you touch the proud Don't listen for those bells For love is only love And if it's love you've found Your heart won't hear a sound And you hold his hand You only hold his hand The violins are all a bluff But if you're really wise The silence of his eyes Will tell you Love is only love And it's wonderful enough Without the shooting star Without the sounds of bells Without the violins Love is wonderful enough!
"LULLABY FOR MYSELF" |
Self-contained and self-content No promises to keep I've got things so together That I just can't fall asleep
Walked the night and drank the moon Got home at half-past four, And I knew that no-one marked my time As I unlocked my door.
It's really lovely to discover That you like to be alone Not to owe your man an answer When he gets you on the phone
Not to share a pair of pork chops When you crave champagne and cheese And your aim becomes to please yourself And not to aim to please
Oh they sold me when they told me Two can live as cheap as one But I'm learning twice you're earning Doesn't mean it's twice the fun
If you spend your each dime and all your time On someone else's schemes I'm not needy but I'm greedy And I live my deepest dreams
Take an hour in the shower Use the water while it's hot In the tub a hand to scrub my back Is all I haven't got.
Self-aware with self-esteem Is selfishness a crime? I take the day for quite a ride And I take my own sweet time
Time to spare and time to share And grateful I would be If just one damn man would share the need To be alone with me.

"MAKE IT LIKE A MEMORY" |
Didn't I like to hold you in my hand I was doing you no harm I made you understand All my life I've been that way It happened long ago Didn't I pray to love you through the night I was dreaming wide awake The early morning light shine on me A sorry state My heart has told me so And the storm clouds gather overhead No shelter we can share Lie down on my flower bed I got no control I would sell my soul To be there So forever do or die We just belong Kiss hello , no wave goodbye And the heat is stronger For the moment when we touch No wind can hold me Come from loving you too much And the nights are longer Make it like a memory Make it like a dream unreal Make it like we never met But I can't forget It's how I feel Make it like a memory Take away the sound and the sight There'll never be another love With the power of , you and I Maybe I'm wrong to hold you in my hand I believed you when you lied I tried to understand All my life , I've been that way It happened long ago Make it like a memory Make it like a dream unreal Make it like we never ever met But I can't forget It's how I feel Make it like a memory Take away the sound and the sight There'll never be another love With the power of , you and I
"MA PREMIERE CHANSON" |
Avec un doigt sur un piano, Avec ma voix autour de quelques mots, J'ai tant joue avec ton nom, Que j'ai vu naitre une chanson.
J'avais dans mes mains, Ton coeur et le mien. Ce vieux piano revient toujours, Au premier jour de mon premier amour, Chaque seconde avait ton nom, Et j'ai trouve cette chanson.
"THE MAN I LOVE" (From LADY, BE GOOD!) |
Some day he'll come along, The man I love And he'll be big and strong, The man I love And when he comes my way I'll do my best to make him stay He'll look at me and smile,I understand, And in a little while he'll take my hand And though it seem absurd, I know we both won't say, we won't say a word Maybe I shall meet him Sunday, maybe Monday maybe not Still I'm sure to meet him one day Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day We'll build a little home just meant for two, From which I'll never roam Who would would you? And so all else above I'm waiting for the man I love Maybe I shall meet him on Sunday maybe Monday maybe not Still I'm sure to meet him one day Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day We'll build a little home just meant for two, From which I'll never, ever roam Who would, would you? And so all else above I'm waiting for... The man I love!
"MARTINA" |
I can see Martina as a child of three In the sad seclusion of her nursery Go outside, Martina! Go outside and play Never speak, Martina, put your toys away So her days were loveless And her nights the same When she cried for someone No one ever came... Is it any wonder that her eyes grew cold? That she loved nobody and her young heart grew old All the children crying from the age of three Grow to be Martina’s and me...
"THE MINUTE WALTZ" |
I've got a minute Just a little minute I have only got a minute Just a minute I have only got a minute That is all the time I have To sing this tiny little minute waltz It isn't easy but I'll try it then I've got to say goodbye But first I'll take a minute And put in it Every note that Chopin wrote
And I shall sing a little minute waltz And hope that I can sing with no faults And though it's difficult I'll give it every last breath that I got within my body Hope that my performance won't be very shoddy Singing every moment won't do wonders for my throat I probably will end up hoarse Of course I will I've got it down a wager That I made I will I want I know its not the money but the Satisfaction that I get from winning money On this silly kind of bet
Though this kind of solo wasn't his intention Chopin isn't here to make an intervention So with your permission And no intermission I will sing each note That that composer wrote As you can hear my trilling Isn't very thrilling But no one can say I wasn't very willing To attempt a thing that's not been done And just for fun to sing the minute waltz
As I sing the seconds fly All too soon the minute waltzes by And now I ask you where am I Halfway through the tune and I'm falling far behind
I have less than thirty seconds Less than thirty seconds Less than thirty Less than half a minute I have less than thirty seconds I have less than half a minute To complete this little minute waltz But every note that's in the score I buy The sands of time I know are pouring Let me win my bet and I’ll run with the money Down to some big store and there to buy a honey And a trophy for myself To put upon the shelf To show the world I won
Oh, the second hand is rushing round the dial And though I'd like to end this torture with a smile And lest someone knows how to stop the clock You're gonna see me cry Before I say goodbye Eight little measures to complete the song But I'm afraid my little lungs will burst before too long If only I can last to scale I won't have failed to sing the minute waltz.
"MORE THAN YOU KNOW" |
Whether you are here or yonder Whether you are false or true Whether you remain or wander I’m growing fonder of you Even though your friends forsake you Even though you don't succeed Wouldn't I be glad to take you Give you the break you need
More than you know More than you know Man of my heart, I love you so Lately I find You're on my mind More than you know Whether you're right, whether you're wrong Man of my heart, I'll string along You need you so More than you'll ever know Loving you the way that I do There's nothing I can do about it Loving may be all you can give But honey, I can't live without it Oh how I'd cry, oh how I'd cry If you got tired, and said goodbye More than I'd show More than you'd ever know.
"MY BUDDY/HOW ABOUT ME" |
Nights are lone since you went away I think about you All through the day My buddy... My buddy... Nobody quiet so true Miss your voice, the touch of your hand Just long to know that you understand My buddy... My buddy... Your buddy misses you It's over All over And soon somebody else Will make a fuss about you But how about me? It's over All over And soon somebody else Will tell the friends About you But how about me He'll find somebody new But what am I to do I'd still remember you When you have forgotten me And maybe a baby Will climb upon your knee And put his arms around you But how about me My buddy... Your buddy Misses you...
"MY FATHER’S SONG" |
Whatever you are you’re goin’ to be Whatever you are is all right with me You’re gonna be what you want anyway These are the words I heard my father say
When I was a young girl And shy of men He said when you’re ready You’ll know just when And when I was taken and thrown away There wasn’t a reason to face the day And so he said:
Whatever you are you’re goin’ to be Whatever you are is all right with me You’re gonna be what you want anyway These are the words I heard my father say
My father’s song is clear and easy And though he’s gone he lives in my heart When I go wrong I swear he sees me And he smiles for a star, and he says:
Wherever you are I’m here by your side My life is a rope that won’t come untied Oh, I’m gonna stand by you right or wrong These are the words within my father’s song Uh..Oh...Ah...Mmm...Uh! These are the words within my father’s song
"MY FAVORITE THINGS" |
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens Brown paper packages tied up with strings These are a few of my favorite things Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels Doorbells and sleighbells and schnitzel with noodles Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings These are a few of my favorite things Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes Snow flakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes Silver white winters that melt into springs These are a few of my favorite things When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad I simply remember my favorite things Like sliver white winters that melt into springs And then I don't feel so bad!
"MY FUNNY VALENTINE" |
Be hold 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're my funny Valentine Sweet comic Valentine You make me smile with my heart Your looks are laughable Unphotographable Yet you're my favorite work of art Is your figure less than Greek Is your mouth a little weak When you open it to speak Are you smart? But don't change a hair for me Not if you care for me Stay little Valentine stay Each day is Valentine's day!
"MY HEART BELONGS TO ME" |
I got the feelin' the feeling's gone My heart has gone to sleep One of these mornings I'll be gone My heart belongs to me Can we believe in fairy tales? Can love survive when all else fails? Can't hide the feelin' the feeling' s gone My heart belongs to me But now my love, hey didn't I love you But we knew what had to be Some how my love I'll always love you But my heart belongs to me Put out the light and close your eyes Come lie beside me, don't ask why Can't hide the feelin' the feeling's gone My heart belongs to me
Chorus: But now my love, hey didn't I love you Didn't I love you, didn't I love you, didn't I love you, baby! Don't cry my love, I'll always love you But my heart belongs to me I got the feelin' the feeling's gone My heart belongs to me... I got the feelin' the feeling's gone My heart belongs to me...
Chorus:
Didn't I love you, didn't I love you
"MY MAN" |
Oh my man I love him so He'll never know All my life is just despair But I don't care When he takes me in his arms The world is bright, alright, What's the difference if I say I'll go away When I know I'll come back On my knees someday Oh whatever my man is I am his Forever more
It cost me a lot But that's one thing that I've got It's my man Cold and wet Tired you bet But all that I soon forget With my man He's not much for looks And no hero out of books He's my man Two or three girls has he That he likes as well as me But I love him
Oh my man I love him so He'll never know All my life is just despair But I don't care When he takes me in his arms The world is bright, alright, What's the difference if I say I'll go away When I know I'll come back On my knees someday Oh whatever my man is I am his Forever more
