On the day I was born,
Said my father, said he, I've an elegant legacy Waiting for ye. Tis a rhyme for your lips And a song for your heart, To sing whenever the world falls apart. Look, look, look to the rainbow. Follow it over the hill and stream. Look, look, look to the rainbow. Follow the fellow who follows a dream. Follow the fellow, follow the fellow, Follow the fellow who follows a dream. 'Twas a sumptuous gift bequeathed to a child. Oh, the lure of that song Kept her feet running wild. For you never grow old and you never stand still With a whippoorwill singing beyond the next hill. So, I bundled me heart and I roamed the world free. To the east with the lark Tow the west with the sea. And I searched all the world and I scanned all the skies. But I found it at last in my own true love's eyes. |

Our little dream castle with every dream gone,
Is lonely and silent, the shades are all drawn, And my heart is heavy as I gaze upon A cottage for sale The lawn we were proud of is waving in hay, Our beautifil garden has withered away, Where you planted roses,the weeds seem to say, A cottage for sale. From every single window, I see your face, But when I reach a window, there's empty space. The key's in the mail box the same as before, But no one is waiting any more, The end of the story is told on the door. A cottage for sale. |

All of me
Why not take all of me Can't you see That I'm no good without you Take my arms I want to loose them Take my lips I'll never use them Your goodbye Left me with eyes that cry And I know that I Am no good without you You took the part That once was my heart So why not take all of me (Repeat both verses) Why not take all of me |

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 And give you the break you need More than you know, more than you know Girl 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 Girl of my heart, I'll string along I 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'll ever know More than you'll ever know |

I don't want a mountain of diamonds
And a valley of gold wouldn't do But if you want to make me happy Just make me a present of you I don't need a desert of rubies Or an ocean of pearls to swim through But if you wanna make me happy Just make me a present of you What good is a girl with a million? What good if the world calls you Queen? If you don't have someone to love you Then you really don't have anything So I'll take your arms for my palace And the sky for my room with a view I know that I'll make you happy, yes If you make me a present of you What good is a gal with a million? What good if the world calls you Queen? If you don't have a man to love you Then you really don't have a doggone thing So I'll take my arms for your palace And the sky for my room with a view I know we'll both be very happy If you'll box yourself up Tie it with a pretty ribbon And make me, Lord, make me a present of you |

-SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES-
They asked me how I knew my true love was true. I, of course, replied something here inside cannot be denied. They said some day you'll find all who love are blind. When your hearts are on fire, you must realize smoke gets in your eyes. So I chaffed them and I gayly laughed to think they could doubt my love. Yet today, my love has flown away. I am without my love. Now laughing friends deride tears I cannot hide. So I smile and say when a lovely flame dies smoke gets in your eyes. |

Oh! they say some people long ago
Were searching for a diff'rent tune, One that they could croon As only they can. They only had the rhythm so They started swaying to and fro. They didn't know just what they had And that is how the blues really began: They heard the breeze in the trees Singing weird melodies And they made that The start of the blues. And from a jail came the wail Of a down hearted frail, And they played that As part of the blues. From a whippoorwill out on a hill, They took a new note, Pushed it through a horn 'til it was born into a blue note. And then they nursed it, rehearsed it, And gave out the news That the southland Gave birth to the blues! |

Come and take a trip in my rocket ship
We'll have a lovely afternoon Kiss the world goodbye and away we fly Destination moon Travel fast as light 'til we're lost from sight The earth is like a toy balloon What a thrill you get ridin' on a jet Destination moon We'll go up up up up Straight to the moon we two High in the starry blue I'll be out of this world with you So away we steal in a spacemobile A supersonic honeymoon Leave your cares below, pull the switch, let's go! Destination moon There once was a time when the colorful thing to do Was to call for a date on a bicycle built for two But cars and trains and even planes All have had their day Now the time is due to call for you In the modern atomic way We'll go up up up up Straight to the moon we two High in the starry blue I'll be out of this world with you So away we steal in a spacemobile A supersonic honeymoon Leave your cares below, pull the switch, let's go!

Hear me, why you keep fooling
Little coquette, making fun of the one who loves you Breaking hearts you are ruling Little coquette, true hearts tenderly dreaming of you. Someday you'll fall in love as I fell in love with you. Maybe the one you love will just be fooling too. And when you are alone with all your regrets, You know, my little coquette, I love you. Someday you'll fall in love as I fell in love with you. Now, maybe the one you love will just be fooling too. And when you are alone with all your regrets, Now, you know, my little coquette, I love you. |

Did you see that I've got a lot to learn?
Well don't think I'm trying not to learn, Since this is the perfect spot to learn - Oooh, teach me tonight! Let's start with the ABC of it, Roll right down to the XYZ of it Help me solve the mystery of it, Teach me tonight! The sky's a blackboard high above you, If a shooting star goes by, I'll use that star, to write I love you, A thousand times across the sky. One thing isn't very clear my love, Should the teacher stand so near my love? Graduation's almost here my love, Come on and teach me tonight. I'll use that star to write I love you, A thousand times across the sky, One thing isn't very clear my love Should the teacher stand so near my love, Graduation's almost here my love, Teach me......please teach me tonight! |

That out of sight is out of mind Maybe that's so but I tried to go And leave you behind, what did I find... I took a trip on the train And I thought about you, I passed a shadowy lane And I thought about you, Two or three cars parked under the stars A winding stream Moon shining down on some little town And with each beam, same old dream At every stop that we made Oh, I thought about you But when I pulled down the shade Then I really felt blue, I peeked through the crack And looked at the track The one going back to you And what did I do I thought about you |

Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street Can't you hear that pitter pat and that happy tune is your step Life can be so sweet, on the sunny side of the street I used to walk in the shade with the blues on parade No longer afraid, the rover crossed over If I never had a cent I'll be rich as Rockfeller The gold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the street I used to walk in the shade with those blues on parade But I'm not afraid 'cause the rover, he got over If I never had a cent, I'd be rich as Rockfeller All those chicks 'round my feet on the sunny, sunny side of the street |

But to your own self, the most damage is done When your cheatin' days are over Don't come runnin', don't come runnin' back to me You've hurt my heart a lot of it's true But I'm not angry, I just feel sorry for you So when your cheatin' days are over I don't want you to come runnin', don't come runnin' back to me You're gonna be sorry, just you wait and see Oh, one day you'll wake up and cry out, yeah, for me Then you'll have a chance to meet life face to face And search for peace of mind but find that it's no place I still love you I confess but I've got to think of my own happiness So when you're cheatin' days are over Don't come runnin' back to me I said don't come runnin' No, don't come runnin' back to me |

Nobody knows the way I feel
This morning, this morning Nobody knows the way I feel This morning, this morning If I'd only had my way The graveyard would be the place My man would lay Nobody knows the way I feel this morning I feel like I could scream and cry This morning, this morning I feel like I could scream and cry This morning, this morning I feel like I could scream and cry I'm true out on it or I'd rather die Nobody knows the way I feel this morning I even hate to hear your name This morning, this morning I even hate to hear your name This morning, this morning I even hate to hear your name I could kill you and take a brown eyed express train Nobody knows the way I feel this morning |

If you can't say that you still love me
Don't tell me no lies when you call If you can't say that you still need me Then why say anything at all If you can't say that you're sorry For all the tears you've caused before If you can't tell my heart is breakin' Then why say anything at all It's better not to speak a word If those crumbs of tongue cause you pain It's better not to let it be heard Those lies you tell in vain So if you can't say, I'm still your baby Then all you say on deaf ears fall Just walk away without a word, dear And don't say nothin' at all Please, don't say nothin' at all |

Drinkin' again and thinkin' of when, when you loved me
I'm havin' a few and wishin' that you were here Makin' the rounds, accepting a round from strangers Bein' a fool just hopin' that you'll appear Sure, I can borrow a smoke, maybe tell some joker a bad joke But nobody laughs, they don't laugh at a broken heart Oh, yeah, I'm drinkin' again, it's always the same That same old story After the kicks there's little old mixed-up me Tryin' to lose a dream that used to be Look at me, I'm drinkin' again, drinkin' all over town Yeah, I'm drinkin' again |

Come and take a trip in my rocket ship
We'll have a lovely afternoon Kiss the world goodbye and away we fly Destination moon Travel fast as light 'til we're lost from sight The earth is like a toy balloon What a thrill you get ridin' on a jet Destination moon We'll go up up up up Straight to the moon we two High in the starry blue I'll be out of this world with you So away we steal in a spacemobile A supersonic honeymoon Leave your cares below, pull the switch, let's go! Destination moon There once was a time when the colorful thing to do Was to call for a date on a bicycle built for two But cars and trains and even planes All have had their day Now the time is due to call for you In the modern atomic way We'll go up up up up Straight to the moon we two High in the starry blue I'll be out of this world with you So away we steal in a spacemobile A supersonic honeymoon Leave your cares below, pull the switch, let's go! Destination moon |

Hear me, why you keep fooling
Little coquette, making fun of the one who loves you Breaking hearts you are ruling Little coquette, true hearts tenderly dreaming of you. Someday you'll fall in love as I fell in love with you. Maybe the one you love will just be fooling too. And when you are alone with all your regrets, You know, my little coquette, I love you. Someday you'll fall in love as I fell in love with you. Now, maybe the one you love will just be fooling too. And when you are alone with all your regrets, Now, you know, my little coquette, I love you. |

When an irresistible force such as you
Meets an old immovable object like me You can bet just as sure as you live Something's gotta give Something's gotta give Something's gotta give When an irrepressible smile such as yours Warms an old implacable heart such as mine Don't say no because I insist Somewhere, somehow Someone's gotta be kissed So, en garde, who knows what the fates might have in store From their vast mysterious sky I'll try hard ignorin' those lips that I adore But how long can anyone try? Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight it with all of our might Chances are some heavenly star-spangled night We'll find out just as sure as we live Something's gotta give Something's gotta give Something's gotta give Fight, fight, fight it with all of your might Chances are that some heavenly star-spangled night We'll find out just as sure as we live Something's gotta give Something's gotta give Something's gotta give Something's gotta give Something's gotta give Aww, let's tear it up |

If they asked me, I could write a book
About the way you walk and whisper And look. I could write a preface On how we met So the world would never forget. And the simple Secret of the plot Is just to tell them That I love you, a lot Then the world discovers As my book ends How to make two lovers of friends |

I don't want a mountain of diamonds
And a valley of gold wouldn't do But if you want to make me happy Just make me a present of you I don't need a desert of rubies Or an ocean of pearls to swim through But if you wanna make me happy Just make me a present of you What good is a girl with a million? What good if the world calls you Queen? If you don't have someone to love you Then you really don't have anything So I'll take your arms for my palace And the sky for my room with a view I know that I'll make you happy, yes If you make me a present of you What good is a gal with a million? What good if the world calls you Queen? If you don't have a man to love you Then you really don't have a doggone thing So I'll take my arms for your palace And the sky for my room with a view I know we'll both be very happy If you'll box yourself up Tie it with a pretty ribbon And make me, Lord, make me a present of you |

They asked me how I knew
my true love was true, Oh I, of course, replied something here inside cannot be denied They said someday you’ll find all who love are blind, oh When your heart’s on fire you must realize Smoke gets in your eyes So I chaffed them and I gayly laughed To think they could doubt my love Yet today, my love has flown away I am without my love Now laughing friends deride tears I cannot hide of So I smile and say, When a lovely flame dies Smoke gets in your eyes Smoke gets in your eyes |
