The Best

Centre of My Life

Hearts Made of Stone

Abraham, Martin, and John

Anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?

Can you tell me where he's gone?

He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young

You know I just looked around and he's gone

Anybody here seen my old friend John?

Can you tell me where he's gone?

He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young

I just looked around and he's gone

Anybody here seen my old friend Martin?

Can you tell me where he's gone?

He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young

I just looked around and he's gone

Didn't you love the things that they stood for?

Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?

And we'll be free

Some day soon, it's gonna be one day

Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?

Can you tell me where he's gone?

I thought I saw him walkin' up over the hill

With Abraham, Martin, and John

Be Careful Of Stones That You Throw

Oh, a tongue can accuse and carry bad news

Gossip is cheap and it's lo-o-ow

So unless you've made no mistakes in your life

Just be careful of stones that you throw

SPOKEN: A neighbor was passin' my garden one time.

She stopped and I knew right away that it was gossip,

not flowers, she had on her mind.

And this is what I heard my neighbor say

-"You know, that girl down the street should be run from our midst. She drinks and she talks quite a lot.

She knows not to speak to my child and me."

My neighbor then smiled and I thought Oh, a tongue can accuse and carry bad news

Gossip is cheap and it's lo-o-ow

But unless you've made no mistakes in your life

Be careful of stones that you throw

SPOKEN: Just then a car speeded by in the screamin' of brakes

-a sound that made my blood chill.

For my neighbor's one child had been pulled from the path and saved by a girl lyin' still.

The child was unhurt and my neighbor cried out

"Oh, who was that brave girl so sweet?"

I covered the crushed broken body and said

"The bad girl who lived down the street."

So unless you've made no mistakes in your life

Just be careful of stones that you throw

Can't We Be Sweethearts

(Bo bo bo bo bo

Shoo be doo-d-doo bop bop bop

Shoo be doo-d-doo yeah yeah)

(heard throughout song)

Can't we be sweethearts? Why don't we fall in love?

Right from the start, you're the girl I'm dreamin' of

Oh can't you see you're the one & only girl for me?

Please by my sweetheart; don't you know the way I feel?

Don't play the part; please make my dreams come real

Oh don't you know, don't you know I really love you so?

Bridge:

We'd walk hand in hand in our wonderland

The world would be our own

I'd make love to you, lovin' kisses too

You'd be mine alone

(repeat verse 1)

(repeat bridge)

Can't we be sweethearts? Don't you know the way I feel?

Don't break my heart; please make my dreams all real

Oh don't you know, don't you know I really love you so?

(scat singing, fading out)

Donna the Prima Donna

music and lyrics by Dion DiMucci & Ernie Maresca

Donna, Donna the Prima Donna

Broke my heart.

We're apart.

Thinks she's smart.

I met a girl a month ago

I thought that she would love me so.

But in time I realized.

She had a pair of roving eyes.

I remember the nights we dated,

Always acting sophisticated,

Talking about high society,

Then she tried to make a fool out of me.

They call her Donna, Donna the Prima Donna

Broke my heart now.

Thinks she's smart now.

We're apart now.

Pretty little girl you're just having fun

You're running all around and breaking lover's hearts.

Pretty little girl, I don't stand a chance,

Without any money there goes our romance.

She always wears charms, diamonds, pearls galore,

She buys them at the 5 & 10 cents store.

She wants to be just like Zsa Zsa Gabor,

Even though she's the girl next door.

They call her Donna, Donna the Prima Donna.

Broke my heart.

Thinks she's smart.

We're apart.

Pretty little girl you're just having fun,

You're running all around, you're breaking lover's hearts.

Pretty little girl, I don't stand a chance,

Without any money there goes our romance.

She always wears charms, diamonds, pearls galore,

She buys them at the 5 & 10 cents store.

She wants to be just like Zsa Zsa Gabor,

Even though she's Donna next door.

Donna, Donna the Prima Donna(repeats)

Gonna Make It Alone

I'm gettin' older day by day

It's comin' time to break away

So many things I wanna do

On my own, I'm gonna make it alone, 'lone, 'lone

I'm gonna get myself a car

I'll travel near, I'll travel far

Just like the men I'll be free

On my own, I'm gonna make it alone, 'lone, 'lone

Wo wo wo yeah now

Wo wo wo yeah

Wo wo wo wo

Wo wo wo wo

CHORUS:

I'll find a town to hang around

I'll be the man to shake my hand

The girls you find will all be mine

I'll make some money in a rush...yeah, be too much

I'm gonna get out of this place right now

It's gonna change my luck somehow

I'm gonna leave with no goodbyes

On my own, I'm gonna make it alone, 'lone, 'lone

Wo wo wo wo

Yeah yeah yeah yeah now

Wo wo wo wo

Wo wo wo wo

Book of Dreams

im standing in the backyard

listening to the inside party

tonight i'm drinking for forgiveness

this life provides

the scars we carry remain but the pain slips away it seems

oh wont you be in my book of dreams

i was watchin you through the window

with your girlfriends from back home

you're showin off your dress

theres laughter and a toast

from your daddy to the prettiest bride he's ever seen

oh wont you be in my book of dreams

in the darkness my fingers slip across your skin

i feel your sweet reply

the room fades away and suddenly im way up high

just holdin you to me

as through the window the moon light streams

oh wont you baby be in my book of dreams

now the ritual begins

'neath the wedding garland we meet as strangers

the dance floor is alive with beauty

mystery and danger

we dance out 'neath the stars ancient light into the darkening trees

oh wont you baby be in my book of dreams

Dream Lover

Written by Bobby Darin

Every night I hope and pray a dream lover will come my way

A girl to hold in my arms and know the magic of her charms

'cause I want (yeah-yeah yeah) a girl (yeah-yeah yeah) to call (yeah-yeah yeah) my own (yeah-yeah)

I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone

Dream lover, where are you with a love, oh, so true?

And I hand that can hold, to feel you near as I grow old?

'cause I want (yeah-yeah yeah) a girl (yeah-yeah yeah) to call (yeah-yeah yeah) my

own (yeah-yeah)

I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone

Someday, I don't know how, I hope she'll hear my plea

Some way, I don't know how, she'll bring her love to me

Dream lover, until then, I'll go to sleep and dream again

That's the only thing to do, till all my lover's dreams come true

'cause I want (yeah-yeah yeah) a girl (yeah-yeah yeah) to call (yeah-yeah yeah) my own (yeah-yeah)

I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone

Dream lover, until then, I'll go to sleep and dream again

That's the only thing to do, till all my lover's dreams come true

'cause I want (yeah-yeah yeah) a girl (yeah-yeah yeah) to call (yeah-yeah yeah) my own (yeah-yeah)

I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone

Please don't make me dream alone

I beg you don't make me dream alone

FADE

No, I don't wanna dream

DOLPHINS

Sometimes I think about Saturday's child

And all about the times when we were running wild

I've been a-searchin' for the dolphins in the sea

Ah, but sometimes I wonder, do you ever think of me

This old world will never change the way it's been

And all our ways of war can't change it back again

I've been a-searchin' for the dolphin in the sea

Ah, but sometimes I wonder, do you ever think of me

Lord, I'm not the one to tell this old world how to get

along

I only know that peace will come when all our hate is gone

I've been a-searchin' for the dolphin in the sea

Ah, but sometimes I wonder, do you ever think of me

This old world will never change

This old world will never change

This old world will never change

Both Sides Now

Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air

And feather canyons everywhere, I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun they rain and snow on everyone

So many things I would have done, but clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now

From up and down and still somehow

It's cloud's illusions I recall

I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and ferris wheels the dizzy dancing way you feel

As every fairy tale comes real, I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show, you leave 'em laughin when you go

And if you care don't let them know, don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now

From give and take and still somehow

It's love's illusions I recall

I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud, to say, "I love you" right out loud

Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I've looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange they shake their heads, they say

I've changed

But something's lost but something's gained in living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now

From win and lose and still somehow

It's life's illusions I recall

I really don't know life at all

Fever

- Words and Music by John Davenport - and Eddie Cooley

Never know how much I love you

Never know how much I care

When you put your arms around me

I get a fever that's so hard to bear

You give me fever (you give me fever) when you kiss me

Fever when you hold me tight (you give me fever)

Fever ... in the mornin'

Fever all through the night

Sun lights up the day time

Moon lights up the night

I light up when you call my name

'cause I know you're gonna treat me right

You give me fever (you give me fever) when you kiss me

Fever when you hold me tight (you give me fever)

Fever ... in the mornin'

Fever all through the night (WOW!!)

Everybody's got the fever

That is somethin' you all know

Fever isn't such a new thing

Fever started long time ago

(You give me fever)

Baby, turn on your love light (yeah, yeah)

Let it shine on me (yeah, yeah)

Well, baby, turn on your love light (yeah, yeah)

And let it shine on me (yeah, yeah)

Well, just a little bit higher (yeah, yeah)

And just a little bit brighter, baby (yeah, yeah)

You give me fever (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

You give me fever (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

You give me fever (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

You give me fever.

Romeo loved Juliet

Juliet she felt the same

When he put his arms around her

He said, "Julie baby you're my flame"

Thou givest fever when we kisseth

Fever with thy flaming youth

Fever I'm on fire

Fever yea I burn forsooth

Captain Smith and Pocahontas

Had a very mad affair

When her daddy tried to kill him

She said "Daddy oh don't you dare"

"He gives me fever with his kisses"

"Fever when he holds me tight"

"Fever, I'm his missus"

"Daddy won't you treat him right?"

Now you've listened to my story

Here's the point that I have made

Cats were born to give chicks fever

Be it Fahrenheit or centigrade

We give you fever when we kiss you

Fever if you live and learn

Fever till you sizzle

What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely way to burn, ah

What a lovely way to burn

Do You Believe in Magic

Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart

How the music can free her, whenever it starts

And it's magic, if the music is groovy

It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie

I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul

But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll

If you believe in magic don't bother to choose

If it's jug band music or rhythm and blues

Just go and listen it'll start with a smile

It won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try

Your feet start tapping and you can't seem to find

How you got there, so just blow your mind

If you believe in magic, come along with me

We'll dance until morning 'til there's just you and me

And maybe, if the music is right

I'll meet you tomorrow, sort of late at night

And we'll go dancing, baby, then you'll see

How the magic's in the music and the music's in me

Yeah, do you believe in magic

Yeah, believe in the magic of a young girl's soul

Believe in the magic of rock and roll

Believe in the magic that can set you free

Ohh, talking 'bout magic

Do you believe like I believe Do you believe in magic

Do you believe like I believe Do you believe, believer

Do you believe like I believe Do you believe in magic

{Fade}

Donna

-Words and Music by Ritchie Valens

Oh, Donna, Oh, Donna

Oh, Donna, Oh, Donna

I had a girl

Donna was her name

Since she left me

I've never been the same

Donna, where can you be? Where can you be?

Well, darlin', now that you're gone

All the time and all my love for yo-ou-ou

I've never been the same

'cause I love my girl

Donna, where can you be? Where can you be?

Oh, Donna, Oh, Donna

Don't Pity Me

Words and Music by Sidney Jacobson and Lou Stallman

(pity pity pity ahh, ahh, ooh)

Pity my arms for losing you

Pity my dreams that won't come true

But don't (don't), don't pity me

Pity my heart that's gonna break (dow, dow, dow)

Pity my kiss that you won't take

Blackbird

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life

You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these sunken eyes and learn to see

All your life

You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Blackbird fly Blackbird fly

Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird fly Blackbird fly

Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life

You were only waiting for this moment to arise

You were only waiting for this moment to arise

You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Blowin' in the Wind

- Bob Dylan How many roads must a man walk down

Before you call him a man

How many seas must the white dove sail

Before she sleeps in the sand

Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly

Before they are forever banned

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind

The answer is blowing in the wind

Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist

Before it washed to the sea

Yes, and how many years can some people exist

Before they're allowed to be free

Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head

And pretend that he just doesn't see

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind

The answer is blowing in the wind

Yes, and how many times must a man look up

Before he can see the sky

Yes, and how many ears must one man have

Before he can hear people cry

Yes, and how many deaths will it take till he knows

That too many people have died

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind

FAREWELL

Words and Music by Bob Dylan

Oh it's fare thee well my darlin' true,

I'm leavin' in the first hour of the morn.

I'm bound off for the bay of Mexico

Or maybe the coast of Californ.

So it's fare thee well my own true love,

We'll meet another day, another time.

It ain't the leavin'

That's a-grievin' me

But my true love who's bound to stay behind.

Oh the weather is against me and the wind blows hard

And the rain she's a-turnin' into hail.

I still might strike it lucky on a highway goin' west,

Though I'm travelin' on a path beaten trail.

So it's fare thee well my own true love,

We'll meet another day, another time.

It ain't the leavin'

That's a-grievin' me

But my true love who's bound to stay behind.

I will write you a letter from time to time,

As I'm ramblin' you can travel with me too.

With my head, my heart and my hands, my love,

I will send what I learn back home to you.

So it's fare thee well my own true love,

We'll meet another day, another time.

It ain't the leavin'

That's a-grievin' me

But my true love who's bound to stay behind.

I will tell you of the laughter and of troubles,

Be them somebody else's or my own.

With my hands in my pockets and my coat collar high,

I will travel unnoticed and unknown.

So it's fare thee well my own true love,

We'll meet another day, another time.

It ain't the leavin'

That's a-grievin' me

But my true love who's bound to stay behind.

I've heard tell of a town where I might as well be bound,

It's down around the old Mexican plains.

They say that the people are all friendly there

And all they ask of you is your name.

So it's fare thee well my own true love,

We'll meet another day, another time.

It ain't the leavin'

That's a-grievin' me

But my true love who's bound to stay behind.

CLOSE TO IT ALL

While walking through life I would never fall

If I could be close to it all and all,

If I could be close to it all.

If I had my dream it would not fall down

If I could live high on the ground,

The sound of high is a good one to many around

When they wanna be close to it all,

And I wanna be close to it all and all,

I wanna be close to it all.

The village sugar takers,

Madison Avenue pink dream makers,

They try to escape from it all,

But instead they build walls, that's all

But they wanna be close to it all.

If I had my dream I would fill a hall

And tell all the people tear down the wall

That keeps them from being a part of it all

'Cause they gotta get close to it all.

The village sugar takers,

Madison Avenue pink dream makers,

They try to escape from it all,

But instead they build walls, that's all

But they wanna be close to it all.

There's just one more thing that I wanna say:

Everyone has got their own special way

That keeps them from getting too close to the day,

Accept and be part of it all and all;

Everyone tear down your own little wall That keeps you from being a part of it all

'Cause you gotta be one with the one and all,

And everyone tear down your own little wall

That keeps you from being a part of it all

'Cause you gotta be one with the one and all,

You gotta be close to it all.

A Sunday Kind Of Love

(Belle/Prima/Leonard/Rhodes)

I'm through with my old love

I loved her through & through

I'm searching for a new love

Can that new love be you?

I want a Sunday kind of love

A love to last past Saturday night

I'd like to know it's more than love at first sight

I want a Sunday kind of love

I want a love that's honest square

Can't seem to find somebody to care

I'm on a lonely road that leads me nowhere

I want a Sunday kind of love

Bridge:

I do my Sunday dreamin' & all my Sunday schemin'

Every minute, every hour, every day

I'm hopin' to discover a certain kind of lover

Who will show me the way

My arms need someone to enfold

To keep me warm when Mondays are cold

A love for all my life to have & to hold

I want a Sunday kind of love

(repeat bridge & last verse)

900 Miles

traditional

I'm walking down this track,

I've got tears in my eyes,

Trying to read a letter from my home.

If this train runs me right

I'll be home tomorrow night.

I'm nine hundred miles from my home.

And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.

I'll pawn you my watch

And I'll pawn you my chain;

Pawn you my gold diamond ring.

If this train runs me right

I'll be home tomorrow night.

I'm nine hundred miles from my home. And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.

The rain I ride on

Is a thousand coaches long.

You can hear that whistle blow a hundred miles.

If this train runs me right

I'll be home tomorrow night.

I'm nine hundred miles from my home.

And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.

If my woman says so

I will railroad no more

I'll sidetrack my wheeler and go home.

If this train runs me right

I'll be home tomorrow night.

I'm nine hundred miles from my home.

And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.

Baby I'm in the mood for you

Sometimes I'm in the mood, I wanna leave my lonesome home

And sometimes I'm in the mood, I wanna hear my milk cow moan

And sometimes I'm in the mood, I wanna hit the highway road

But then again, but then again, I said oh, I said oh, I said

Oh babe, I'm in the mood for you. Sometimes I'm in the mood, Lord, I had my overflowin' fill

Sometimes I'm in the mood, I'm gonna make out my final will

Sometimes I'm in the mood, I'm gonna head for the walkin' hill

But then again, but then again, I said oh, I said oh, I said

Oh babe, I'm in the mood for you.

Sometimes I'm in the mood, I wanna lay right down and die

Sometimes I'm in the mood, I wanna climb up to the sky

Sometimes I'm in the mood, I'm gonna laugh until I cry

But then again, I said again, I said again, I said

Oh babe, I'm in the mood for you.

Sometimes I'm in the mood, I'm gonna sleep in my pony's stall

Sometimes I'm in the mood, I ain't gonna do nothin' at all

Sometimes I'm in the mood, I wanna fly like a cannon ball

But then again, but then again, I said oh, I said oh, I said

Oh babe, I'm in the mood for you.

Sometimes I'm in the mood, I wanna back up against the wall

Sometimes I'm in the mood, I wanna run till I have to crawl

Sometimes I'm in the mood, I ain't gonna do nothin' at all

But then again, but then again, I said oh, I said oh, I said

Oh babe, I'm in the mood for you.

Sometimes I'm in the mood, I wanna change my house around

Sometimes I'm in the mood, I'm gonna make a change in this here town

Sometimes I'm in the mood, I'm gonna change the world around

But then again, but then again, I said oh, I said oh, I said

Oh babe, I'm in the mood for you.

Baby You Been On My Mind

Bob Dylan

Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat

and coverin' the crossroads I'm standing at

or maybe it's the weather or something like that

but Baby you been on my mind

I do not mean you trouble, don't put me down, don't get upset

I am not pleadin' or sayin' I can't forget you

I do not pace the floor, bowed down and bent, but yet

Baby you been on my mind

Even tho' my eyes are hazy

and my thoughts they might be narrow

where you been don't bother me, or bring me down with sorrow

I don't even mind where you be wakin' up tomorrow

but Baby you been on my mind

I'm not asking you to say words like yes or no

Please understand me, I've no place I'm calling you to go

I'm just whisperin' to myself so I can pretend that I don't know

Baby you been on my mind

When you wake up in the mornin' baby, look inside your mirror

you know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near

I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear

as someone who has had you on his mind

As someone who has had you on his mind

Baby you been on my mind

BABY PLEASE DON'T GO

1. (Joe Williams)

Baby please don't go

Baby please don't go

Baby please don't go down to New Orleans

You know I love you so

Baby please don't go

When the man done gone

When the man done gone

When the man done gone down the county farm

He got the shackles on

Baby please don't go

Don't leave me

I'll be a dog

I'll be a dog

I'll be a dog kiss your way down here

When you walk along

Baby please don't go

Why must you leave me

Lying on my back

Going across the other side of the track

Found yourself a new man I know

So baby please don't go

Baby please don't go

Oh please, please don't leave me

I don't want to be left alone baby

Oh don't go, don't go, don't go

But Not For Me

Words by Ira Gershwin

Music by George Gershwin

Verse

Old man Sun-shine, lis-ten, you!

Nev-er tell me, "Dreams Come True!"

Just try it And I'll start a ri-ot____

Bea-trice Fair-fax, don't you dare Ev-er tell me he will care;

I'm cer-tain It's the fin-al cur-tain,

I nev-er want to hear from any cheer-ful Pol-ly-an-nas,

Who tell you fate Sup-plies a mate, It's all ba-na-nas!

First Refrain

They're writ-ing songs of love,___But not for me.

A luck-y star's a-bove, But not for me.

With love to lead the way I've found more clouds of gray

Than an-y Rus-sian play could guar-antee.

I was a fool to fall__And get that way;

Heigh-ho! A - las! and al- so, Lack-a-day!

Al-though I can't dis-miss The mem-'ry of his kiss,

I guess he's not for me.

Second Refrain

He's knock-ing on a door,__But not for me.

He'll plan a two by four,__But not for me.

I know that love's a game; I'm puz-zled, just the same,

Was I the moth or flame? I'm all at sea.

It all be - gan so well, But what an end!

This is the time a fell-er needs a friend,

When ev-'ry hap-py plot Ends with the mar-riage knot,

And there's no knot for me.___________

CHRISTMAS (BABY PLEASE COME HOME)

by P. Spector, J. Barry, and E. Greenwich

(Christmas)

The snow's coming down

(Christmas)

I'm watching it fall

(Christmas)

Lots of people around

(Christmas)

Baby please come home

(Christmas)

The church bells in town

(Christmas)

All ringing in song

(Christmas)

Full of happy sounds

(Christmas)

Baby please come home

They're singing "Deck The Halls"

But it's not like Christmas at all

Cuz I remember when you were here

And all the fun we had last year

(Christmas)

Pretty lights on the tree

(Christmas)

I'm watching them shine

(Christmas)

You should be here with me

(Christmas)

Baby please come home

They're singing "Deck The Halls"

But it's not like Christmas at all

Cuz I remember when you were here

And all the fun we had last year

(Christmas)

If there was a way

(Christmas)

I'd hold back this tear

(Christmas)

But it's Christmas day

(Please)

Please

(Please)

Please

(Please)

Please

(Please)

Please

Baby please come home

(Christmas)

Baby please come home

(Christmas)

Baby please come home

(Christmas)

Baby please come home

COME GO WITH ME

Love, love me darlin'

Come and go with me,

Please don't send me

'way beyond the sea;

I need you, darlin',

So come go with me.

Chorus:

Come, come, come, come,

Come into my heart,

Tell me, darlin',

We will never part;

I need you, darlin',

So come go with me.

Yes, I need you,

Yes, I really need you,

Please say you'll never leave me.

Well, say, you never,

Yes, you really never,

You never give me a chance.

Chorus Repeat all

Fly Me To The Moon

Fly me to the moon

And let me play among the stars

Let me see what Spring is like

On Jupiter and Mars

In other words, hold my hand!

In other words, darling, kiss me!

Fill my heart with song

And let me sing forevermore

You are all I long for

All I workship and adore

In other words, please be true!

In other words, I love you!

Fools rush in

Fools rush in

where angels fear tread

steppin' on the edge of my existence

It's all I can

To take back what I said

Stepping back I feel the distance

I feel I'm

walking on dangerous ground

feels like it

when you're around

Dangerous ground

Dangerous ground

Dangerous ground

Dangerous ground

Eyes are blind

for those who look away

In my mind is the illusion

It's you and me

with nothing left to say

going on without delusion

chorus

For Baby (For Bobbie)

John Denver

I'll walk in the rain by your side,

I'll cling to the warmth your hand,

I'll do anything to help you understand

I love you more than anybody can.

And the wind will whisper your name to me

little birds will sing along in time,

leaves will bow down when you walk by

and morning bells will chime

I'll be there when you're feelin' down

to kiss away the tears if you cry,

I'll share with you all the happiness I've found

a reflection of the love in your eyes.

And I'll sing you the songs of the rainbow,

the whisper of the joy that is mine

leaves will bow down when you by

and morning bells will chime

I'll walk in the rain by your side,

I'll cling to the warmth your tiny hand,

I'll do anything to help you satisfied

I love you more than anybody can.

And the wind will whisper your name to me

little birds will sing along in time,

leaves will bow down when you walk by

and morning bells will chime

Go Away Little Girl

End Of The World

S. Dee/A. Kent

Why does the sun go on shining

Why does the sea rush to shore

Don't they know it's the end of the world

'Cause you don't love me anymore

Why do the birds go on singing

Why do the stars glow above

Don't they know it's the end of the world

It ended when I lost your love

I wake up in the morning and I wonder

Why everythings the same as it was

I can't understand, no I can't understand

How life goes on the way it does

Why does my heart go on beating

Why do these eyes of mine cry

Don't they know it's the end of the world

It ended when you said goodbye

Why does my heart go on beating

Why do these eyes of mine cry

Don't they know it's the end of the world

It ended when you said goodbye

Crying

Roy Orbison/Joe Melson

I was all right for a while

I could smile for a while

But when I saw you last night

You held my hand so tight

When you stopped to say hello

And though you wished me well

You couldn't tell

That I'd been

Crying over you

Crying over you

Then you said "So long"

Left me standing all alone

Alone and crying, crying, crying, crying

It's hard to understand

That the touch of your hand

Can start me crying

I thought that I was over you

But it's true, so true

I love you even more

Than I did before

But darling, what can I do Oh you don't love me

And I'll always be

Crying over you

Crying over you

Yes, now you're gone

And from this moment on

I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying

I'm crying, crying

Oh-oh-oh-over you

Another Saturday night In heaven

Stephen winks and shows his victory sign

Joseph sports his many-coloured coat

Job, he takes it one day at a time

Simon Peter has to check his sword

Here in heaven, peace will reign supreme

john the Baptist raises mankind's flag

Brother Daniel, He recites his dream

(Chorus)

Another Saturday night In heaven

Whenever eight-thirty rolls around

The years of talent have assembled

As the angels gather all around

Another Saturday night in heaven

The legends of a lifetime are

Common men before our Father

He's the only real Superstar

The children run to take the front row seats

David tunes up his guitar

Gabriel stands behind a golden horn

Solomon signals for the band to start

Mary loves to serve the family there

Rachael, she's painting a passing cloud

James and John sing a brand new sung

Matthew Is smiling to the crowd

(Chorus)

Moses spins a tale of the good old days

Abraham tells Sarah one he's heard

Elizabeth prances in a pantomime

St. Paul recites the sacred word

Jonathan and Samson tip their baseball caps

Timothy is dancing on the lawn

Thomas tells them all to plan it one more time

Elijah snaps his fingers and he's gone

(Repeat chorus)

HYMN TO HIM

Are your dreams swept with fear?

Does your heart fill with sadness

With the night drawing near?

Do you yearn for the moment

When you'll be safe and warm?

Do you search for the shelter

From life's oncoming storm?

(Chorus)

Come to Him through the darkness

Come to Him through the rain

Walk with him from misfortune

Walk with him from the pain

He's the light of salvation

He's the head never bowed

He's the first step of wisdom

He's the sun through the clouds

Walk with him

If the winds of disaster

have blown through your night

and the dreams you have cherished

can't begin to take the fight

take his hand through the sunlight

lift your head high above

let your heart flow forever

with the warmth of his love

(chorus)

Blend your life with his blessing

drink from the wine tomorrow

yesterday must be banished

with the seed of your sorrow

do you walk in the shadows

are your dreams swept with fears

does your heart fill with sadness

with the night drawing near

do you yearn for the moment

when you'll be safe and warm

do you search for the shelter

from life's oncoming storm

(chorus)

"DIDN'T YOU CHANGE"

Wasn't it fun

chasing the sun,

or a blur of wings streaking the air,

pausing to learn

just how we could return

to a childhood of times without care?

Didn't life taste

sweet as we raced:

a blending a laughter and lace,

just you and me

by an emerald sea

with your soft lashes sweeping my face?

Didn't you change

or did you rearrange

my life with a wave of your hand.

happy to be

just running with me

leaving footprints behind in the sand?

Wasn't it right,

wasn't it bright;

through twilight, towards midnight,

then dawn,

never in doubt, living without

all the money we had that was gone?

Why couldn't we reach

from silence to speech

like a river that longs for the sea,

stopping to share

an occasional prayer

in the shade of a leaf-heavy tree?

AND THE NIGHT STOOD STILL

I Still remember oh the night we first met

The moment I locked In your eyes I never will forget

And l remember oh the fire time that we kissed

Remember thinking to myself could it really be like this

And we danced beneath a midnight moon

And I took one look. one look at you

And I fell In love before I knew

And the night stood still

And we moved so sweet so sweet and slow

To the rhythm of the radio

And then your arms reached out and held me dose

And the night stood still

I still Remember the song that they were playing then

And If l close my ayes I swear we're right back there again

Do you remember oh the way it used to be

We were two hearts on the run

So young, so wild and free

CHORUS

The night stood still

We danced, danced

We fell in love

Do you remember, the way It used to be

We were two hearts on the run

So young, so wild and free

REPEAT CHORUS

Do you remember oh the night we first met

The moment I looked In your eyes I never will forget

Do you remember oh the time that we first kissed

Remember thinking to myself could it really be like this

Chorus:

And we danced beneath a midnight moon

Oh, I took one look. one look at you

And I fell In love before I knew

And the night stood still

And like a breeze we moved cool and slow

To the rhythm of the radio

And I reached out for you, and held you close

And the night stood still

I still Remember how our song was playing then

And If l close my eyes I swear that we're back there again

Do you remember oh the way it used to be

We were two hearts on the run

So young, so wild and free

CHORUS

The night stood still

We danced, danced

We fell in love

Solo

Do you remember, the way It used to be

We were two hearts on the run

So young, so wild and free

CHORUS x 3

ALWAYS IN THE RAIN

you'll always find me in in the rain

I've done some things I can't explain

I walk the streets alone

The darkness Is my safety zone

Yes always, always in the rain

The street lights print my silhouette

Upon the pavement dark and wet

I find my childhood in the ghosts of this

old neighbourhood

Yes always, always in the rain

It's e melancholy feeling

Shakes my senses takes me reeling

Then I find I just surrender

To the moment it's so tender

I watch the neon city swirl

Just like a mystic dancing girl

Beneath the stormy weather

All those colors flow together

Always, always in the rain

My dream to lie again with you

Beneath a boundless sky .of blue

its just a fantasy

a wish within a memory

Yes always, always in the rain

we all return in times of pain

to days of laughter in the rain

when all the world seemed new

the future gleamed and love was true

yes always walking in the rain

always in the rain

You showed them with a sleight of hand

They said you wouldn't last one night

But you mire put up one hell of a fight

And you showed them

Showed them with our Hollywood views

Yes you did

Sunny days are makin' me lazy

If I could I'd just stay in

Makin' sweet love to you when it's rainin'

With the star light nights bright city lights

Bet your bottom dollar, you'll find me back

In Hollywood

Back in Hollywood

Up in San Francisco they had a fire

Down in L.A. you can't get much higher

Nothing can compare

Compare with your Hollywood views

all the starlets and the movie

And the streets are lined with nothln' but beauties

Witness it yourself

By takin' you on a Hollywood cruise

Repeat Chorus: Twice

ALL OUIET On 34th STREET

I'm inside and I'm gettin' a drink

Not knowing what awaits me

When I walk outside

I'm tryin' to score, I got my eye

On some shapely baby by the door

Before I get outside

She's already got my money

Chorus::

Try not to take It so hard dude

She a pretty and quick

But she sure wasn't rude

Go back where you came from boys

What you tryin' to do?

ALL OUIET On 34th STREET

You didn't score but you sure got beat

ALL OUIET On 34th STREET

Losin' ain't fun specially when you cheat

Meanwhile back In my room

Gettin' caught up in-my own gloom

Sleepin' In a chair

Wonderin' where the hell you are

I'm goin' back down to the bar

Gonna ask the man for some liquor in the jar

I ain't foolin' nobody but myself

Repeat Chorus:

"GOTTA GET UP" (DiMucci)

Gotta get up child, put your walkin' shoes on, look yourself in the eye

Get yourself fat out of bed now

You could feel it in the wind now (yeah)

It's goin' round & round again, up & down again, it's movin'

Sunday morning got my true love callin'

Yes I know she's comin' , gonna be with me

It make me feel so good yeah, make me feel so good (mm)

Here come the sun with its warm touch

Here come the sun now child pouring in on me

You can feel it now. God it's lovely, too much now

You could feel it in the wind now

Its goin' round & round again, up & down again, feel it movin'

Sunday morning got my true love callin'

Yes I know she's comin' , gonna be with me

It make me feel so good, now yeah, it make me feel good

la la la (etc.) ... ba la la (etc.)

Oh round & round again, up & down again, I feel it movin'

I feel it movin' (yeah movin')

Up & down again, oh yeah it's movin'

Gotta get up, Gotta get up, Gotta get up.

He looks a lot like me

And do they mean that MA

I’m way out here

And I’m in fear

Pray for us mama

Here he comes

He’s got a gun

They say that he’s my enemy

Ain’t it funny mama

He looks a lot like me

I see in his eyes

Why he’s just a boy

My ma he ain’t no man

Can I kill … do you think I can…

I hear it still… though shall not kill,

When do they mean that mama

I hear it still… though shall not kill,

Hmmm…mama
