Evening is the time of day I find nothing much to say Don`t know what to do But I come to When it`s early in the morning Over by the window day is dawning When I feel the air I feel that life is very good to me You know in the sun there`s so much yellow something in the early morning meadow Tells me that today you`re on your way And you'll be coming home to me Nighttime isn`t clear to me I find nothing near to me Don`t know what to do but I come to When it`s early in the morning Very, very early without warning I can feel a newly born vibration Sneaking up on me again There`s a sunbird on my pillow And I can see the funny weeping willow I can see the sun You`re on your way You'll be coming home

Icould never, never tell 'ya why I love her like I do, But if you took her out one fine night, you'd feel the same way I do.
(won't cha now) Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, come out tonight, come out tonight. Plain Jane won't cha come out tonight, spend some time with me. I say, spend some time with me. Woo!, Plain Jane I love her just the same. Oh.... Plain Jane.....

You're feeling low and oh so small Then suddenly you're eight feet tall She just walked in the room And the gloomy room just glows That's the way love is That's how it goes
You're such a drag from nine 'til five Then all at once you're so alive It's just the way she winks her eye Or wrinkles her nose That's the way love is That's how it goes
It's the world's oldest unsolved riddle The kind of game you just can't win And if you come up with the answer You're a better man sir, than I, Gunga Din
So when that tingle hits you deep And you're tired but you just can't sleep Don't you take my word Go and ask anyone who knows That's the way love is That's how it goes
It's the world's oldest unsolved riddle The kind of game you just can't win You come up with the answer And you're a better man sir, than I, Gunga Din
So when that tingle hits you deep And you're tired you don't sleep Don't you take my word Go and ask anyone who knows That's the way love is That's how it goes That's how it goes That's how it goes
I can only give you love that lasts forever And the promise to be near each time you call And the only heart I own, for you and you alone That's all, that's all.
I can only give you country walks in springtime And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall And a love whose burning light Will warm the winter's night. That's all, that's all.
There are those who would offer the moon, dear. They would give you the world as a toy. All I have are these arms to enfold you And a love time can never destroy.
If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear, You'll be glad to know that my demands are small. Say it's me that you'll adore, now and evermore. That's all, that's all.
In a cavern down by a canyon Excavatin' for a mine, There lived a miner from North Carolina And his daughter, chubby Clementine.
Now every mornin', just about dawnin' A'when the sun begins to shine You know she would rouse up, wake all a dem cows up And walk 'em down to her Daddy's mine.
A'took the foot bridge, way 'cross the water Though she weighed two-ninety nine. The old bridge trembled and disassembled (Oops!) dumped her into the foamy brine.
Hey, crackle like thunder, (ho, ho) she went under (ho, ho) blowin bubbles (bubble sound) down the line. Hey, I'm no swimm'a but were she slimm'a I might'a saved that Clementine.
(Ho) broke the record, way under water I thought that she was doin' fine. I wasn't nervous ya until the service That they held for Clementine.
Hey you sailor (ho, ho) way out in your whaler With a harpoon, your trusty line. If she shows now, yo, there she blows now, It just may be chunky Clementine.
(One more time) Oh my darlin', oh my darlin', oh my darlin' Oh my darlin' , oh my darlin' sweet Clementine, You may be gone But! You're not forgotten, Fare thee well So long, Clementine (Bubble sound) Bye!
Now here's the story bout Minnie the Moocher She was a lowdown hoochie coocher She was the roughest and the toughest frail But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale
She had a dream about the king of Sweden He gave her everything that she was needin He gave her a home built of golden steel A platinum car with diamond wheels
Now Minnie and Smokey, they started shaggin They got a free ride in a wagon She gave him money to pay her bail But don't you know he went and left her in the jail
Oh Minnie met old Deacon Lowdown He preached to her that she oughta slowdown But Minnie just stood and rock and rolled And Deacon Lowdown please save my soul
They took her where they put the bad ladies And now Minnie is pushin up dasies You heard my story now this ends my song She's a good gail but they done her wrong
How did I know that the warmth of the glow would last And how did I guess that the long loneliness was past I merely looked at you and I knew then and there I knew It's you or no one for me
I'm sure of this every time we kiss Now and forever when forever is done You'll find that you are still the one
So please don't say no to my plea 'Cause if you do then I'm all through There's this about you My world's an empty world without you It's you or no one for me
It's a matter of now and forever When forever is all done You'll find you are still the one
So please don't say no to my plea 'Cause if you do then I'm all through There's this about you My world's an empty world without you It's you or no one for me
It's you or no one for me It's you or no one for me
Alone in the world was poor little Anne As sweet a young child as you'd find. Her parents had gone to their final reward Leavin' their baby behind.
(Did you hear?) This poor little child was only nine years of age when mother and dad went away; Still brav-el-y worked At the one thing she knew to earn her few pennies a day.
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers, Flowers for ladies of fashion to wear; She made artificial flowers, you know those artificial flowers, Fashions from Annie's despair.
With paper and shears, with some wire and wax She made up each tulip and mum. As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room Her baby little fingers grew numb.
From makin' artificial flowers, those artificial flowers Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear. She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers Made from Annie's despair.
They found little Annie all covered in ice Still clutchin' her poor frozen shears Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand And watered with all her young tears.
There must be a heaven where little Annie can play In heavenly gardens and bowers. And instea-a-ad of a halo she'll wear 'round her head A garland of genuine flowers.
No more artificial flowers; Throw away those artificial flowers, Flowers for ladies of society to wear. Throw away those artificial flowers, Those dumb-dumb flowers, Fashioned from Annie's, Fashioned from A-a-a-annie's Des-pa-a-a-air. (Give her the real thing!)
Lazy River Bobby Darin (Sid Arodin & Hoagy Carmichael)
- (#14 in 1961)
Up a lazy river by the old mill stream Lazy river in the noon day sun Linger awhile in the shade of a tree Throw away your troubles, dream with me.
Up a lazy river where the robin's song Wakes the mornin', we roll along. Make me blue skies above, Everyone's in love Up a lazy river, how happy we'll be Up a lazy river with me.
Up a lazy river by the old mill run That's a lazy, lazy river in the noonday sun You can linger for a while in the shade of a tree. Throw!, away your troubles, baby, dream a dream of me.
Up a lazy river, where the robin's song Wakes a brand new mornin' where we can roll along. There may be blue skies up above But as long as we're in love Yah, we'll be up a lazy river, how happy we could be, Up a lazy river with me. ----------- (we're half way home) ---------- Yeah, up a lazy river where the robin's song Awakes a brand new mornin', we can roll along. A-a-a, threre are blue skies up above And as long as we're in love, We'll be up a lazy river, Up a crazy river, Up a lazy river, I ain't goin' your way, Get out'a my way, Up a lazy river with me....
Could be, should be making me glad Why am I blue? It's up to you to explain I'm thinking maybe, baby, I'll go away Someday, some way, You'll come and say It's you I need And you'll be pleading in vain It had to be you, Had to be you I wondered around, Finally found somebody who Could make me be true, Could make me be blue And even be glad just to be sad Thinking of you Some others I've seen Might never be mean, Might never be cross I tried to be boss, But they wouldn't do 'Cause nobody else gave ma a thrill With all your faults I love you still Had to be you, Crazy old you, Had to be you.
When a girl meets boy Life can be a joy But the note they end on Will depend on Little pleasures they will share So let us compare
I like New York in June, how about you? I like a Gershwin tune, how about you? I love a fireside when a storm is due. I like potato chips, moonlight and motor trips, How about you? I'm mad about good books, can't get my fill, And Franklin Roosevelt's looks give me a thrill. Holding hands at the movie show, When all the lights are low May not be new, but I like it, How about you?
I like Jack Benny's jokes. To a degree. I love the common folks. That includes me. I like to window shop on 5th Avenue. I like banana splits, late supper at the Ritz, How about you? I love to dream of fame, maybe I'll shine. I'd love to see your name right beside mine. I can see we're in harmony, Looks like we both agree On what to do, And I like it, how about you?
There was a boy A very strange enchanted boy They say he wandered very far, very far Over land and sea A little shy and sad of eye But very wise was he
And then one day A magic day he passed my way And while we spoke of many things Fools and kings This he said to me The greatest thing you'll ever learn Is just to love and be loved in return
Oh, the greatest thing you'll ever learn Is just to love and be loved in return
The greatest thing you'll ever learn Is just to love and be loved in return
Baby face you've got the cutest little baby face there ain't nobody can ever take your place you baby face my poor hearts jumping you started something

New York on Sunday, Big City taking a nap! Slow down, it's Sunday! Life's a ball, let it fall in your lap! If you've got troubles, Just take them out for a walk. They'll burst like bubbles In the fun of a Sunday In New York! You can spend time without spending a dime, Watching people watch people pass! Later you pause, and in one of those stores There's that face next to yours in the glass! Two hearts stop beating, You're both too breathless to speak! Love smiles her greeting, Then the dream that has seen you thru the week Comes true on Sunday In New York! New York on Sunday, Big City taking a nap! Slow down, it's Sunday! Life's a ball, let it fall in your lap! And if you've got troubles, Go take them out for a walk. They'll burst like bubbles In the fun of a Sunday In New York! You can spend time without spending a dime Watching people watch people pass! Later you pause, and in one of those stores There's that face next to yours in the glass! Two hearts stop beating, You're both too breathless to speak! Love smiles her greeting, Then the dream that has seen you thru the week Comes true on Sunday In New York! Comes true on Sunday In New York!
You went away I let you We broke the ties that bind I wanted to forget you And leave the past behind Still, the magic of the night I met you Seems to stay forever in my mind
The sky was blue And high above The moon was new And so was love This eager heart of mine was singing Lover where can you be
You came at last Love had its day That day is past You've gone away This aching heart of mine is singing Lover come back to me When I remember every little thing
You used to do I'm so lonely Every road I walk along I walk along with you No wonder I am lonely
The sky is blue The night is cold The moon is new But love is old And while I'm waiting here This heart of mine is singing Lover come back to me When I remember every little thing
You used to do I grow lonely Every road I walk along I walk along with you No wonder I am lonely
The sky is blue The night is cold The moon is new But love is old And while I'm waiting here This heart of mine is singing Lover come back to me
It keeps on Rainin' Everyday Just keeps on Rainin' Won't go away Same old love story You've heard before I tried She lied I cried Inside
It keeps on Rainin' Oh how much more Will it keep rainin' Will it still pour ? Maybe there's someone Waitin' around The bend A friend Who'll lend An end To all this Rainin' This awful Rainin' And bring me some love...
(Instrumental)
It keeps on rainin' Oh how much more Will it keep rainin' Will its still pour ? Maybe there's someone Waitin' around The bend A friend Who'll lend An end To all this Rainin' This awful Rainin' And bring me some love.
Don't tell me not to fly I've simply got to If someone takes a spill It's me and not you Don't bring around a cloud to 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 Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade
I'm gonna march my band out I'll beat my drum And if I'm fanned out Your turn at bat sir Hey! At least I didn't fake it Hat sir? So what I didn't make it
But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection Or freckle on the nose of life's complexion The cinder or the shin the apple of its eye
I gotta fly once, I gotta try once Only can die once, right sir? Ohh...Love is juicy, juicy and you see I've got to have my bite sir.
So get ready for me love cause I'm a comer I've simply got to march my heart's a drummer Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade
I gotta fly once, I gotta try once Only can die once, right sir? Ohh...Love is juicy, juicy and you see I've got to have my bite sir.
(Slow) Get ready for me love cause I'm a comin I've simply got to march my heart's a drummin Nobody. I said nobody. Nobody - had better rain-on-my-parade.....
The world is full of beautiful things Butterfly wings, fairy tale kings And each new day undoubtedly brings Still more beautiful things
The world abounds with many delights Magical sights, fanciful flights And those who dream on beautiful nights Dream of beautiful things
Beautiful days for sunshine lazin' Beautiful skies and shores Beautiful days when I can gaze In beautiful eyes like yours
You wonder why the nightingale sings Lovers have wings, people wear rings The world is full of beautiful things Beautiful people, too Beautiful people like you
Beautiful days of sun kissed showers Beautiful sea kissed breeze Beautiful nights of moon kissed hours Beautiful dreams like these
Our lives tick by like pendulum swings Delicate things, butterfly wings Life is full of beautiful things Beautiful people, too Beautiful people like you
Like you, just like you, people like you Beautiful people like you
Every night I sit here by my window (window) staring at the lonely avenue (avenue) watching lovers holding hands and laughing (laughing) and thinking bout the things we used to do
(Thinking of things) like a walk in the park (things) like a kiss in the dark (things like a sailboat ride (yeah yeah) what about the night we cried things like a lovers vow things that we don't do now thinking bout the things we used to do
Memories are all I have to cling to (cling to) and heartaches are the friends I'm talking to (talking to) when I'm not thinking of just how much I loved you well I'm thinking about the things we used to do
(Thinking of things) like a walk in the park (things) like a kiss in the dark (things) like a sailboat ride (yeah yeah) what about the night we cried things like a lovers vow things that we don't do now thinking bout the things we used to do
I still can hear the jukebox softly playing (playing) and the face I see each day belongs to you (belong to you) though there's not a single sound and theres nobody else around well it's just me thinking of the things we used to do
(Thinking of things) like a walk in the park (things) like a kiss in the dark (things) like a sailboat ride (yeah yeah) what about the night we cried things like a lovers vow things that we don't do now thinking bout the things we used to do
And the heartaches are the friends I'm talking to you got me thinking bout the things we used to do
You're the reason I'm living You're the breath that I take You're the stars in my heaven You're the sun when I wake You're the reason I'm living Oh you carry me through All of life's little burdens I'd be lost without you
A long long time ago When I was down Wo-o-o you picked me up And showed me true love Still could be found
You're the reason I do things You're the things that I do You're the reason I'm livin I'd be lost without you
Come and tell me again You're the reason I'm living Oh you carry me through All of life's little burdens I'd be lost without you
Eighteen yellow roses came today Eighteen yellow roses in a pretty bouquet When the boy came to the door I didn't know what to say But eighteen yellow roses came today I opened up the card to see what it said I couldn't believe my eyes When I had read Though you belong to another I love you anyway Yes eighteen yellow roses came today I never doubted your love for a minute I always thought that you would be true But now this box and the flowers in it I guess there's nothin' left for me to do But ask to meet the boy that's done this thing And find out if he's got plans to buy you a ring 'Cause eighteen yellow roses will wilt and die one day But a father's love will never fade away Will never fade away
While You Are Sleepin', Am I Sleepin' Too, Well, I'm Just Sittin' Here Lovin' You, Close My Eyes And Lovin' You, I'm Just Sittin' Back, Sittin' Here Lovin' You. I Have Been Wond'rin' Just What I Would Do
If I Weren't Sleepin', Had I Not Found You, But I'd Be Outside Findin' You, Walkin' On The Avenue, Findin' You, Well, I'm Just Sittin' Back, Sittin' Here Lovin' You.
