You make me laugh Cause your eyes they light the night They look right through me You bashful boy You're hiding something sweet Please give it to me yeah, to me
Talk to me some more You don't have to go You're the Poetry Man You make things all rhyme
You are a genie All I ask for is your smile Each time I rub the lamp When I am with you I have a giggling teen-age crush Then I'm a sultry vamp
Talk to me some more You don't have to go You're the Poetry Man You make things all right
So once again It's time to say so long And so recall the cull of life You're going home now Home's that place somewhere you go each day To see your wife
Talk to me some more You don't have to go You're the Poetry Man You make things all rhyme
Georgia Rose, Georgia Rose, you're the most precious rose, Dixie Rose. Though we don't see quite right, cause you're skin's dark as night. I know you are hid'n from the light.
To the good Lord above, we all look the same, so don't, hang your head in shame. Georgia Rose, Georgia Rose, don't be blue, cause you're black, Georgia Rose.
Quiet nights and quiet stars, quiet chords from my guitar Floating on the silence that surrounds us Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams, quiet walks by quiet streams Climbing hills where lovers go to watch the world below together
We will live eternally in this mood of reverie Away from all the earthly cares around us My world was dull, each minute, until I found you in it And all at once, the happiness I knew Became these quiet nights of loving you
We will live eternally in this mood of reverie Away from all the earthly cares around us My world was dull, each minute, until I found you in it And all at once, the happiness I knew Became these quiet nights of loving you
What you mean, wanna know how I feel about you, baby? Be poetic about it, alright
I love the east, I love the west And north and south, they're both the best But I'll only go there as a guest 'Cause I love being here with you
I love the sea, I love the shore I love the rocks but what is more? With you they'd never be a bore 'Cause I love being here with you
Singin' in the shower, laughin' by the hour Life is such a breezy game Love all kinds of weather, as long we're together I love to hear you say my name
I like good wine and fine cuisine And candle light, I like the scene But baby, if you know what I mean 'Cause I love being here with you I love being here with you
I like a dance by Fred Astaire And Brando's eyes, Yul Brynner's hair But I think to tell you's only fair That I love being here with you
And Cary Grant, oh do-dah-day His utter charm takes me away But don't get me wrong, how do you say I love being here with you
Oh, Basie's band's a-swingin', I like Ella singin' 'Cause there's something else, you know They know how to say it, they know how to play it They wind it up and let it go
I love the thrill of New York shows I'd love to Durante's nose But I'd like to say before I close, yeah, yeah I just love, baby I love, well, I love being here with you
I'm gonna live till I die! I'm gonna laugh 'stead of cry, I'm gonna take the town and turn it upside down, I'm gonna live, live, live until I die.
They're gonna say "What a gal!" I'm gonna play for the sky. Ain't gonna miss a thing, I'm gonna have my fling, I'm gonna live, live, live until I die.
The blues I lay low, I'll make them stay low, They'll never trail over my head. I'll be a devil, till I'm an angel, but until then. Hallelujah, gonna dance, gonna fly, I'll take a chance riding high, Before my number's up, I'm gonna fill my cup,
I'm gonna live, live, live, until I die!
The blues I lay low, I'll make them stay low, They'll never trail over my head. I'll be a devil, till I'm an angel, but until then. Hallelujah, gonna dance, gonna fly, I'll take a chance riding high, Before my number's up, I'm gonna fill my cup.

I try to reason and tell myself you'll return But you are gone and I know, I know, I know you're gone You were mine for only a minute And if I hurt you I didn't intend it
You are gone away, I keep tellin' my mind You're not gonna stay But I believe sometimes that I lost you, baby I lost you, baby, you were gone
Forgive and forget it that's not what I'll ask you to do 'Cause I want you back, yeah You know, you know I want you back And in concluding my mental discussion I found I lost my prized possession
You are gone away, I keep tellin' my mind You're not gonna stay And I believe sometimes that I lost you, baby I lost you, baby, you were gone
You were mine for only a minute And if I hurt you I didn't intend it
You are gone away, I keep tellin' my mind You're not gonna stay And I believe sometimes that I lost you, baby I lost you, baby and you were gone
Lie, lies I told you baby I never meant to say
But a desperate mind Does a desperate thing baby I can't loose you I do whatever I got to do
I never loved like this before I don't mean to be so silly Such a little girl sometimes I really want to be your woman I just...
It gets so heavy baby... It gets so heavy And I just want you... I just want you to think about Don't let me go
There's a road we been travellin 'Lost so many on the way But the riches will be plenty Woth the price, the price we had to pay There's a dream in the future There's a struggle that we have yet to win And there's pride in my heart 'cause I know where I'm going, yes I do And I know where I've been, yeah There's a road that we must travel There's a promise that we must make 'But the riches will be plenty Worth the risk and the chances we take There's dream in the future There's a struggle that we have yet to win Use that pride in our heart To lift us up Until tomorrow 'cause just to sit still would be a sin I know it, I know it I know Where I'm goin' Lord knows I know Where I've been Oh, when we win Yeah, I'll give thanks to my God Cause I know where I've been
