Harry Connick Jr [가수, 영화배우]

You choose drawn curtains instead of light
Your airy demeanor becomes polite
All the things you adore don't mean all that much anymore
Well there's really no mystery
You just need someone to listen
So come and spend a moment with me

It isn't so easy to walk alone
Especially knowing you're on your own
The secret you've kept so well is much better with someone to tell
We can speak confidentially
I'll tell you what you've been missing
Come and spend a moment with me

You feel your heartache as bad as it's been
It's finally beaten you down
You don't want to partake but you want to win
And there's no other party in town

It's much too early to say goodnight
Just one more moment and you just might
See that a moment with me is more than you thought it could be
We don't have to make history
We can start with some kisses
Come and spend a moment with me

That certain night, the night we met
There was magic abroad in the air,
There were angels dining at the Ritz
and A nightingale sang on Berk’ley Square.
I may be right, I may be wrong,
But I’m perfectly willing to swear
That when you turn’d and smiled at me
A nightingale sang on Berk’ley Square.
The moon that lingered over London town,
Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown.
How could he know we two were so in love.
The whole darn world seemed upside down,
The streets of town were paved with stars.
It was such a romantic affair,
And as we kiss’d and said “goodnight?
A nightingale sang on Berk’ley Square

I never saw nothing like that before in my life
I hope I never see it again

There were all these people
Oh just waiting there
THere were all these people
Oh just waiting there for someone
But nobody came, nobody saw
Cause nobody wanted to to go there at all
There were all these people
Oh just waiting

I was so damned scared
I held hands with a crazy man
I was so damned scared
I held hands and bonded with the crazy man
But he wasn't crazy, and I wasn't scared
We were just brothers to sit there and stare
All all those people waiting there

Well the first two people I saw
We saw the way that they cared
I grabbed my brothers hand
Neither one of us could stand the shame
Two of them, the two of us
Lying in water
Living in dust
So were all these people waiting there

Well the guy that showed me home
Was by a stranger's hand
And I carried on a moment
Just for the soul of a country man
I never knew you, I never stayed
I ain't gonna leave it
Nothing to pay
All those people waiting there

Well the next time I went down
There was no one there
And I wondered if my brother
Had bought another piece of land
One day a stranger, one day my kin
I thought I'd never see him again
Just like all those people waiting there

The touch of your lips next to mine
Gets me excited, makes me feel fine
The touch of your hand, your sweet hello
The fire inside you when you're holding me close
Your love so warm and tender
The thrill is so divine
It is all these things that make you mine
Make you mine

If you would leave, I surely would die
When you were ten minutes late
I started to cry
I've got it bad, it's all right
As long as you're here every night
Your love so warm and tender
The thrill is so divine
It is all these things, baby, that make you mine

Your love so warm and tender
The thrill is so divine
It is all these things that make you mine

Took a minight train
Headed way back east
Left behind some pain
In hopes of finding some peace
Fortunatly caught one
Bound for my old neighborhood
Either way, between us, it's good

They're building a bridge
Links Manhattan with the heartland
It's called the califonia ridge
The country need to expand
Saw them lay the first stone
It was made of wood
Either way, between us, it's good

In an age of greys
When wrong won't become right
Let's lift the haze
And scale the heights

Set my shouders straight
Took a deep breath
This meeting I anticipate
Unlike impending death
Strode on to the platform
And there you stood
At worst, between us, it's good

In an age of greys
When wrong won't become right
Let's lift the haze
And scale the heights

Set my shouders straight
Took a deep breath
This meeting I anticipate
Unlike impending death
Strode on to the platform
And there you stood
At worst, between us, it's good

And the warden said
"He won't need a cell
He has the key
There's no harsher sentence
The man's doin life
In the first degree"

Some people seek to set blame
Some just accept their part
And now you know why
Booker died of a broken heart

And the priest said
"I can take confession
But not the sin
The church is shelter
Not the faith
Son, that's within"

Some people pray for fortune and fame
Some just play a part
And now you know why
Booker died of a broken heart

And the doctor said
"I can see you're hurt
Just by lookin at you
Pain we can help
But for hurt
There's nothin we can do"

Some people pick up the pieces
Some just leave them apart
And now you know why
Booker died of a broken heart

I used to be a boozehound
Spent my time downtown
Gettin round
Sittin in the barroom
Tryin to get another drink
"I think you've had enough"
"Come on... Just one more"
This time I ain't feelin so fine
Whatcha say we get to downin
Don't throw me just forget about the line
I wish I could be drownin
Sweet water... I ain't seen her in a while
I don't know if I can face her
I know she can always make me smile
If I can't outrun my chaser
I used to be a boozehound
Buzzin round midtown
Gettin loaded
Tryin to get a number
Feelin mighty good
"Is this guy bothering you?"
"No, no, I was just..."
All my life there ain't never been a drought
That's probably been my downfall
Even though, you know,
I might be passed out
I won't drop the high ball
I know where the river flows
And the lives that it devours
Ain't it great I can touch my nose
But I can't smell the flowers
I used to be a boozehound
Stumblin uptown
Gettin higher
Fallin off the barstool
Rememberin where I left the floor
"Say buddy, you need some help"
"No, I'm cool..."
Come and get me you can be my Boogeyman
You can catch me on the rebound
You may not fly like the Candyman can
But it's safer on the ground
Just one more trip to the fun house
They'll smother me with foam
See, my brother, that's the one house
That I can call my home

The sun sets red with rage
White clouds float by
Like high cotton
Blank as an empty page
Blue is a color buried
Not forgotten
Sweet as mother's milk
And clear as the wind
Wrap the dead in a pleat of silk
Blue is the color to be buried in
When you left
Leaving nothing behind
There's no one to blame
No criminal, no crime
You can report a missing person
But not a stolen heart
And I'm missing a person
To whom stealing was an art
The painting's complete
The brush strokes dry
I hear a band playing
A bent note or two
I guess someone died
And just wants to be
Buried in blue

They're writing songs of love,
But not for me;
The lucky star's above,
But not for me.
With love to lead the way,
I've found more skies of gray
Than any Russian play
Could guarantee.
I was a fool to fall
And get that way.
Heigh ho! Alas! And also, lackaday!
Although I can't dismiss
The mem'ry of her kiss…
I guess she's not for me.
It all began so well,
But what an end!
This is the time a fella needs a friend
When every happy plot
Ends with a the marriage knot
But there's no knot for me.

Love oh love careless love
Love oh love careless love
Love oh love oh careless love
See what careless love has done

Once I wore my apron low [3x]
I couldn't keep you from my door

What oh what will mama say [3x]
When she learns I've gone astray

I love my mama and papa too [3x]
See what I get for lovin' you

Now I wear my apron high [3x]
You pass my door you walk on by

Must you dance every dance
With the same fortunate man
You have danced with him since the music began
Why don't you change partners and dance with me

Must you stand quite so close
With your lips touching his face
Can't you see I'm longing to be in his place
Why don't you change partners and dance with me

Ask him to sit this one out
And while you're alone
I'll tell the waiter to tell him
He's wanted on the telephone

You've been locked in his arms
Ever since heaven knows when
Why don't you change partners and then
You may never want to change partners again

When we played our charade
We were like children posing
Playing at games, acting out names
Guessing the parts we played

Oh, what a hit we made
We came on next to closing
Best on the bill, lovers until
Love left the masquerade

Fate seemed to pull the strings
I turned and you were gone
While from the darkened wings
The music box played on

Sad little serenade
Song of my hearts composing
I hear it still, I always will
Best on the bill, charade

Take me... Take me
To the city beneath the sea
The river will wrap around me
And the music will let me be
You can find me on the neutral ground
On the corner of Fleur-de-lis
Please... somebody won't you take me
To the city beneath the sea
Take me... Take me
Where the night outshines the day
You can hear the tap of soda caps
And smell the toufe
You can fais do do with Jacamo
Or fi na ne 'till three
Please... somebody won't you take me
To the city beneath the sea
How... How long
Can I stay away
How... How long
Can I stay away
Take me... Take me
To the Meters and the Mardi Gras
They betcha where you got your shoes
And they eat their oysters raw
Pork Chops dances all night long
But he won't dance for free
Please... somebody won't you take me
To the city beneath the sea

Come by me, come talk to me baby
Tell me how we can combine
Will you be my sunshine forever
Will you be a friend of mine

Try me out and if you get excited
Take me home, I'd love to be invited
Once we're there, I'm sure you'll be delighted
We can rock all night

Wait and see, we might fit together
That would be my lucky day
Come by me, come love with me baby
Maybe we could run away

Now you say you're lonely
You cry the whole night through
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over youNow you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over youYou drove me, nearly drove me out of my head
You never shed a tear
Remember, I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian, told me you were through with meAnd now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Come on and cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
It's you, It's you must go and I must bide

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
It's I'll be here in sunshine, or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so

But when ye come and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, and dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me

And I shall hear tho' soft you tread above me
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me

Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled all around, in and out of town
Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled till the butcher cut him downHe rambled through the city
He rambled through the street
Little ol lady pass him said
"Look at the market meat!"Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled all around, in and out of town
Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled till the butcher cut him down

let the joyous news be spread
The Wicked Old Witch at last IS dead!!!!

Below - below - below.
Yo-ho, let's open up
and sing and ring the bells out.
Ding Dong the merry-oh,
sing it high, sing it low.

Hello Central give me Doctor Jazz
He's got what I need, I'll say he has
When the world goes wrong and I've got the blues
He's the guy who makes me put on both my dancin' shoesThe more I get, the more I want it soon
I see Doctor Jazz in all my dreams
When I'm in trouble bounds are mixed
He's the guy who gets me fixed
Hello central give me Doctor Jazz

Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for?
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore

I see your eyes drifting, driftingI'm really not that naiveYou wear a smile but it's drifting, driftingWhile I wear my heart on my sleeveI feel your coldness against my skinI know what follows the autumn windAnd though you say your

The sentimental sun in his teary sky
Says he doesn't want to shine today
You tell me to imagine myself with another lover
That's easy for you to say

The April that I knew with her cool soft rain
Has turned into a flowerless May
You tell me to go on with my life as if nothing's happened
That's easy for you to say

Maybe I should quote the letters that you wrote
I was your Mr. Right, if you recall
You tell me not to do it, but you're not going through it
I guess I'm not so right after all

The melancholy moon is awfully pale
And while his light is dim you seem OK
You tell me there are plenty of fish in the deep blue sea
That's easy for you to say

The melancholy moon is awfully pale
And while his light is dim you seem OK
You tell me there are plenty of fish in the deep blue sea
But the only one I caught just got away
It's easy for you, easy for you
It's all so easy for you to say

You'd be so easy to love
So easy to idolize all others above
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep every home fire burning for

We'd be so grand at the game
So happy together that it does seem a shame
That you can't see your future with me
'Cause you'd be so easy to love

Edelweiss, Edelweiss Every morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss Bless my homeland forever
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss Bless my homeland forever

Elijah Rock shout shout
Elijah Rock comin' up Lord
Elijah Rock shout shout
Elijah Rock comin' up Lord

Satan is a liar and a conjure too
If you don't (mind high) watch out
He'll conjure you
If I could I sho'ly would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood

[Chorus]

Ezekiel said he saw him
Wheel in the mid' of a wheel
John talked about him
In the book of the 7 seals
Some say the Rose of Sharon
Others say the Prince of Peace
But I can tell everybody (this ol' world)

He been a rock and a shelter for me
Hallelujah

[Chorus]

You can call my rock in the morning
Call him late at night
He's always with me
And all my battles he'll fight
When I'm in trouble
I can call him on the line
He put a telephone in my heart
And I can call God anytime
Hallelujah

I remember what my father said
He said "You don't slow down
You're gonna end up dead"
I remember what my brother said
He said "You're runnin blind
Like a bird flyin into the sun"... yeah
They might be older than me
But the eyes of the seeker
Are the ones that see
Old man with a new brown bag
Washed away his home
Hung over the nag
Threw the ring in the river
At the end of the street
Then he laid on down in the park
With the bag at his feet... yeah
He might think he's really free
But the eyes of the seeker
Are the ones that see
All... all ya'll
Try to push it further
Than you think your life is worth
Or you'll get nowhere
Spendin all your time with the devil
Grind... Your mind
'Stead of sittin home
Lyin in your bed
Sayin you just don't care... well...
Big Daddy from the back of the cell
Said "You wanna last
You gotta run like hell"
But Big Daddy must been runnin slow
He told me the view's real good
From the top of the row... yeah
It's overcase with an ill decree
And the eyes of the seeker
Are the ones that see

They tried to conquer the world with guns
Like a horde of Huns
That had to be removed
We used a secret weapon
We did it with a groove

They tried to conquer the world with administration
And make one nation
But then they had to move
We made us a home
Built on a groove

They tried to conquer the world with kindness
And blind open-mindedness
Like they had something to prove
They're on their own
Amen, we got the groove

They tried to conquer the world and call it art
So did Bonaparte
Now he hangs in the Louvre
It's not a museum piece
This is the groove

They tried to conquer the world with science
And medieval self-reliance
Neither of which behoove
All that's of concern
Is a groove

They tried to conquer the world with blinding flash
Instead reduced it to a solitary ash
While trying to improve
On a ray of light
And a grip on the groove

For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so
For once unafraid I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Could make my dreams come true

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once I've got someone I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore

For once I can say: "this is mine you can't take it"
As long as I've got love I know I can make it
For once in my life I've got someone who needs me

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once I've got someone I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore

Now, for once I can say: "this is mine you can't take it"
As long as I've got love I know I can make it
For once in my life I've got someone who needs me
For once in my life, she needs me
For once in my life

Meet me on the corner of close and soon
I'll have a song in my head
And my hands on a tune
Nothing lasts forever
So I guess I better
Take you forever
For now

Meet me in the lobby of destiny
I'll have a ribbon on my shoulders
And a halo over me
If nothing lasts forever
Then I guess I better
Take you forever
For now

Under a clock
By an information desk
I'll be there will bells on
By an old oak
A fountain in the park
Just don't be long
By the ticket counter for love in spring
I'll be standin' there with cupid
And he can aim that thing
If nothing lasts forever
Then I figure I better
Take you forever
For now

Under a clock
By an information desk
I'll be there will bells on
By an old oak
A fountain in the park
Just don't be long
By the ticket counter for love in spring
I'll be standin' there with cupid
And he can aim that thing
If nothing lasts forever
Then I figure I better
Take you forever
For now

I never thought my life could be anything but catastrophe
But suddenly I begin to see a bit of good luck for me
Cause I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden twinkle in my eye
I never had a chance to shine never a happy song to sing,
But suddenly half the world is mine what an amazing thing
Cause I've got a golden ticket.
I've got a golden sun up in the sky.

I never thought I'd see the day when I would face the world and say,
"Good morning. Look at the sun."
I never thought that I would be slap in the lap of luxury
Cause I have said it couldn't be done
But it can be done.

I never dreamed that I would climb over the moon in ecstasy,
But nevertheless it's there that I'm shortly about to be
Cause I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden chance to make my way
And with the golden ticket it's a golden day.

I want a feast
I want a bean feast
Cream buns and doughnuts and fruitcake with no nuts so good you could go nuts.
Give to me now!
I want a ball
I want a party
Pink macaroons and a million balloons and performing baboons and
Give it to me now.
I want the world,
I want the whole world.
I want to lock it all up in my pocket
It's my bar of chocolate
Give it to me now!
I want a party with roomfuls of laughter
Ten thousand ton of ice cream
And if I don't get the things I am after
I'm going to scream!
I want the works,
I want the whole works!
Presents and prizes and sweets and surprises in all shapes and sizes,
And now!
Don't care how I want it now!

Goodnight, my love
Pleasant dreams and sleep tight, my love
May tomorrow be sunny and bright
And bring you closer to meBefore you go
Please remember I need you so
And this love I have for me
Will never go coldIf you should awake in the still of the night
Please have no fear
Just close your eyes
Then you realize
That my love will watch over you, dear, alwaysGoodnight, my love
Pleasant dreams and sleep tight, my love
May tomorrow be sunny and bright
And bring you closer to meIf you should awake in the still of the night
Please have no fear
Just close your eyes
Then you realize
That my love will watch over you, dear, alwaysGoodnight, my love
Pleasant dreams and sleep tight, my love
May tomorrow be sunny and bright
And bring you closer to me

The city don't even matter
I could be anywhere
I don't care
There's a whole lotta hard workin people
That could take my place
And it's easy to leave
When nobody knows your face
Just close your eyes
You can hear me in the harmony
I came up in New Orleans
Fixin what I could find
To peace my mind
I gave what I had to the winners
Just to get along
But it's really hard to sing
When nobody hears your song
Just close your eyes
You can hear me in the harmony
I thought I learned from getting burned
I bought a suit of armor and a silver cane
I found a little man who'd be proud of me
But he had to get up early
And I had to get back to my pain
I guess I'll keep on livin
One day they'll ask for me
I'll be free
And if there's a heaven
I'll be ready for my life to begin
But I wonder if I call
If they're gonna let me in
Open your eyes
You can hear me in the harmony

Pieces of a hole
Unrequited, not renowned
Never sought and never found
Through blood
Through soul

Now unfamiliar
Feelings of good being
Are light that's not worth seeing
Through blood
Through soul

Restless and distorted
Thoughts that underscore my night
Being wrong and seeing right
Through blood
Through soul

Heart beyond repair
All the edges worn and frayed
Magnifying love betrayed
Through blood
Through soul

Even if the sun comes in between
The man in the moon is smiling
'cause he's in love
The man in the moon is smiling
'cause he's in love with the girl in the world
She's there in the evening
She never comes late
All day she spins around
But never makes him wait
The girl in the world is smiling
'cause she's in love
The girl in the world is smiling
'cause she's in love with the man in the moon
When two heavenly bodies glow
All the stars agree A planet might be born
Maybe even a galaxy And in the morning
They don't say good-bye
But with a kiss They blend into the sky
Oh, they're smiling 'cause they're in love
The man in the moon is smiling
'cause he's in love with the girl in the world
The man in the moon is smiling
'cause he's in love with the girl in the world
Heavenly!

Step aside
Step aside
The crew's gonna take a ride
Better stand behind the barricade
Here comes, here comes, here comes
The big parade

So make way
So make way
That's what the captain say
Down St. Charles and Esplanade
Here comes
The big parade

"Throw me somethin mister"
I wanna dance with your sister
Brass bands march in by
Throwing notes to the sky

There goes
There goes
Second-liners and flambeaus
I'm feelin even better
Than the day was made
Here comes
Here comes
Here comes
The big parade

Honestly now...
Either you stand for something
Or you get knocked down for nothing
Sister don't ache too soon
I thought it was understood
By everyone in this room
Who'd ever come up short or won a race
Safety's just danger
...out of placeTruly now...
People play tricks of the mind
Shadows only follow behind
Sister stay still
I thought it was the nature
Of all on malvern's hill
Who'd taken a lead off third base
Safety's just danger
...out of placeHonestly now...
If fate were to follow fortune
And clarity trail distortion
Sister on alertPay close attention
To fingerprints in the dust
And fallen feet that leave no trace
Safety's just danger
...out of placeSincerely now...
I requested information
At a roadside station
Sister it seems absurd
To be hammering pith
Like a poet with a loss for words
Trying to describe an angel's face
Safety's just danger
...out of placeHonestly now...
Wholly in demand
Coming off second hand
Sister don't unravel
When there's nowhere to go
Except lawless travel
And an end to infinity's space
Safety's just danger
...out of place

Standin on top of my hill
How do ya'll know what it feels like
How can you tell me to make my bed
When I sleep on the ground
How can you say that you like my noise
When I haven't made a sound
I like peace time better than war
Spendin my money in the candy store
I like makin angels on the shore
How do ya'll know
Floatin on my cloud
How do ya'll know what it feels like
Yellin your sermon from the bottom of a glass
'Cause you know how it's done
Tellin me the troubles of the promised land
When I'm in it just for fun
I like to eat my pie before my meal
Make a snake with an orange peel
Say my prayers before I kneel
How do ya'll know
When I was walkin past your house
I didn't see nobody home
Ya'll musta been out buyin gold
When I was polishin chrome
Ridin in my spaceship
How do ya'll know what it feels like
What makes you think you can navigate
When you don't know where I'm flyin
Tellin me the facts about what I say
When you don't even know if I'm lyin
I like to wear white in the wintertime
Pay my penance before the crime
Have my reason without the rhyme
But how do ya'll know

Somebody was spreading rumors
'Bout better days a comin
Why was I hummin
As if I knew
One and the same
But I just whispered your name

Somebody was sayin something
'Bout there being an end to tyranny
But when they asked me
What would I do...
If that day came
I only whispered your name

Everyone got their own opinion
And protects their own dominion
No doubt for them it's true
But I tell them what I really believe
My only worry is protecting you

No one should ever be lonely
We'd all find somebody to care
Ask me if I dare
To answer who...
Could carry that flame
I'd just whisper your name

If they asked me I could write a book
About the way you walk, and whisper and look
I could write the 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

Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
'cause I only have eyes for you, dear
The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
'cause I only have eyes for you.

I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
Cause I only have eyes for you

I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
Cause I only have eyes for you

I spent last night dreaming of your eyes
But your hair kept getting in the way
Your lips dropped in to tell me how you'd been
But when I tried to kiss them
My pillow told me I missed them
Your voice dropped by and sang a lullaby
And it was then I knew just what to do
I'd fall asleep and then I'd dream of you again

Your voice dropped by and sang a lullaby
And it was then I knew just what to do
I'd fall asleep and then I'd dream of you again

Oh, step aside, y'all ornery tenderfeet
Cause I'm about to sing my song
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
But my legs ain't bowed, and my cheeks ain't tan
Well I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer 'cause I don't know how
And I sure ain't fixin' to startin now
Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ayI'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I learned to ride before I learned to stand
Well I'm a ridin fool who is up to date
I know every trail in the Lone Star State
'Cause I ride the range in a Ford V-8
Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ayLook out, I'm gonna show y'all how to ride now
Here we goI'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I come to town just to hear the band
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
'Bout the big corral where the dogies go
'Cause I learned them all on the radio
Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ayNow my story's almost done, so listen up!
You ain't got much longer nowI'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
Where the west is wild round the borderland
Where the buffalo roam around the zoo
And the indian make you a rug or two
And the old Bar-X is the Bar-be-cue
Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ayI'm just an old cowhand...

I've got a great idea
And wouldn't you like to know
You probably can't bear it
So I guess I'll have to share it
I thought of it a moment ago
It starts with your hand in mine
And next comes a little stroll
You probably won't buy it
But I'm trying to keep it quiet
So please don't tell a soul
'Cause if you do
The world and you
Will think I'm crazy and give me medicine
They'll drag me away
And as I go you'll hear me say
I could have been a decent match for Edison
Ideas are few and far between
And good ideas are rarer still
So listen and be wise
Just forget the other guys
'Cause my idea's no good for three
My idea is you and me

if you do The world and you
Will think I'm crazy and give me medicine
They'll drag me away
And as I go you'll hear me say
I could have been a decent match for Edison
Ideas are few and far between
And good ideas are rarer still
So listen and be wise
Just forget the other guys
'Cause my idea's no good for three
My idea is you and me

There's a winding crack
Moving through my windshield
Like a vein in my head
The faster I go
The faster it winds
I'll get off the road
When my heart explodes
But not till then
I'm in love again

Given circumstance
I'm bounded by commitment
The whole way around
I usually know when I get to the end
As sure as I stand
The hour hand
Has stopped at ten
I'm in love again

There's an old blue shirt
Hanging in my closet
It's a favorite of mine
One day I looked and it just wasn't there
Now there's a red one
Hanging instead
It happens when
You're in love again
Amen...
I'm in love again

It had to be you
It had to be you
I wandered around
And finally found
The somebody who
Could make me be true
And 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
Or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else
Gave me a thrill
With all your faults
I love you still
It had to be you
Wonderful you
It had to be you

It had to be you
It had to be you
I wandered around and finally found
The somebody who
could make me be true
Could make me be blue
or even be glad Just to be sad
thinking of you

Some others I've seen.
might never be mean
Might never be cross
or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

Some others I've seen.
might never be mean
Might never be cross
or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you

It's the wrong time and the wrong place
Though your face is charming it's the wrong face
It's not her face but it's such a charming face
That it's alright with me
It's the wrong song in the wrong style
Though your smile is lovely it's the wrong smile
It's not her smile but it's such a lovely smile
That it's alright with me
You can't know how happy I am that we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
There's someone I'm trying so hard to forget
Don't you want to forget someone too
It's the wrong game with the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting they're the wrong lips
They're not her lips but they're such tempting lips
It's alright with me

You can't know how happy I am that we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
There's someone I'm trying so hard to forget
Don't you want to forget someone too
It's the wrong game with the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting they're the wrong lips
They're not her lips but they're such tempting lips
That if some night you're free
It's alright with me

Goodbye Joe

The last days in May
Before summer lay claim
Back in the school yard
We made up a game
Now is always
Is always the same
Too bad always always ends
I remember I remember when
But I was just just a boy then
Innocent envy
Without compromise
Recommendations
All ill advised
Tall tales
And little white lies
The truth had to bend
I remember I remember when
But I was just just a boy then

Now that we're tall
And all grown
A house a car
Lives of our own
We can put off
But we can't postpone
The way we become men
I remember I remember when
But I was just just a boy then

It's three o'clock in the morning
I'm wonderin what to do to save the sun
The space that I take
Is more than I can give
And Lorelei's song has just begun
I'm gonna turn my head
Time eternity
I'm gonna find somebody
Just like me
Everybody's pretty
My brother won't rest till he knows I'm home
The choices I make
Are easier supposed
As my surviving striving not to roam
I'm gonna stand my ground
Make my guarantee
I'm gonna find somebody
Just like me
The world keeps spinning
Mountains vary but the valley's the same
The confidence I feel
As I balance on the ridge
Comes from the trueness of my aim
I'm gonna walk this road
As far as I can see
I'm gonna find somebody just like me
I'm gonna find somebody just like me

Lazy bones
Sleeping, sleeping in a noon day sun
Tell me, how you spect to get your days work done
Days work done
You'll never get your days work done

Sleeping, lazy bones
Sleeping in a noon day sun
When day's dusk means praying
I bet you keep praying
That all the bugs fall off the vine

And when you go fishing
I bet you keep wishing
That the fish would never never grab your line
You old lazy bones
Loafin, loafin all through the day
Tell me how you spect to make a dime that way
Dime that way
You'll never make a dime that way

Well look at him, lazy bones
Never hear a word I say
Lazy bones

Lazybones, sleeping in the sun
How you 'spect to get your day's work done?
Never get your day's work done
Sleeping in the new day's sunLazybones, sleepin in the shade
How you 'spect to get your cornmeal made?
You'll never get your cornmeal made
Just sleepin in the evenin shadeWhen 'taters need spraying I bet you keep praying
The bugs fall off the vine
And when you go fishin, I bet you keep wishin
The fish won't grab your lineLazybones, loafing through the day
How you 'spect to get a dime that way?
Never make a dime that way
Never heard a word I say

Lovers are dreamers and I've been walking in my sleep
When I awake I'll never take a chance that I can't keep
A thousand first times never add up to last
And I've been told a heart of gold melts away too fast

But I didn't count on you
Running into me
No I didn't count on you

I could learn to love you
I could get used to this
I could learn to love you
And the shelter of your kiss

The day's not as hard as trying to go through it alone
And in the end you can't depend on any love
But your own
Sometimes the impossible shows up undeclared
That's when the impossible
Shows you that it's possible
Maybe even beautiful
To double what you've dared

But I didn't count on you
Running into me
No I didn't count on you

I could learn to love you
I could get used to this
I could learn to love you
And the shelter of your kiss

Come good fortune
Let me love tonight
Pardon me from soulless searching
Spare me for another with a see-through heart
A heart as empty as my hands to be full
Let me love tonight

Come good fortune
Let me feel her skin
Don't deny for which I've hungered
Let me taste her mouth only slightly parted
With lips as full as mine have been denied
Let me love tonight

Come good fortune
Let me say goodbye
With no remorse
Thoughtless, callous
As lovely as she was she'll remain obscured
By the morning sun
But fortune come 'fore the day is done
Let me love tonight

Let them talk if they want to
Talk don't bother me
I want the whole wide world to know
That I love you so

Let them whisper
For they know not what's
Between you and I
I'll keep on loving you
Until the day I die

They're tryin' to breakup our romance
But they don't have a chance
We have the kind of love
That's so strong
We'll be together from now on

Idle gossip comes from the devil's workshop
But true love will make it stop
I want the whole wide world to know
That I love you so

They're envious of ev'rything we do
But it's so wonderful (wonderful)
When you love some one (love someone)
When that someone loves you.

You say "either" and I say "either"
You say "neither" I say "neither"
"Either" "either", "neither" "neither"
Let's call the whole thing off
You say "potato," I say "patattah"
You say "tomato", I say "creole tomata"
Oh, let's call the whole thing off
Oh, if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part and oh
If we ever part, that would break my heart
So, I say "ursta" you say "oyster"
I'm not gonna stop eatin' urstas just cause you say oyster,
Oh, let's call the whole thing off
Oh, I say "pajamas", you say "pajamas"
Sugar, what's the problem?
Oh, for we know we need each other so
We'd better call the calling off off
So let's call it off, oh let's call it off
Oh, let's call it off, baby let's call it off
Sugar why don't we call it off,
I'm talking baby why call it off
Call it off…
Let's call the whole thing off

If we borrow words
They'll have to be returned
Keeping them would surely be remiss
The stars have acquiesced
By giving us this night
Let's just kiss

Intellect and thought
Are good enough for some
Why waste time with all there is to miss
In our quiet space
We'll babysit the moon
Let's just kiss

Nothing to erase
As the hour slows
Nothing to be judged or tried untrue
Handed us a case
What a case to close
It could take all night before we do

We won't have to try
Somehow we'll just know
A thousand years before us led to this
When we're finally through
We'll usher in the sun
Let's just kiss

Little Farley
Why you hangin out so long
I can tell by the people
you're runnin with
That you're singin a different song
Little Farley
What you hidin in your drawer
Don't you know that I know what you're doin
And it ain't worth dyin for
Little Farley
Why you takin that to school
Livin out your life in Angola
Really don't sound too cool
Little Farley
Why you wanna take a life
That little girl that they laid to rest today
She coulda been your wife
Little Farley
You know that don't belong to you
What you took in less than a minute
Mighta took him a month or two
Little Farley
A boy don't have to be a man
If you can't decide what you wanna be
Then I'm tellin you no one can
Little Farley
Think about it...

When the only sound on the empty street
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop

When the moon so long has been gazing down
On the wayward ways of this wayward town
That her smile becomes a smirk
I go to work

Love for sale
Appetizing young love for sale
Love that's fresh and still unspoiled
Love that's only slightly soiled
Love for sale

Who, who will buy
Who would like to sample my supply
Who's prepared to pay the price
For a trip to paradise
Love for sale

Let the poets pipe of love in their childish way
I know every type of love better far than they
If you want the thrill of love, I've been through the mill of love
Old love, new love, every love but true love

Love for sale
Appetizing young love for sale
Well, if you want to buy my wares
Follow me and climb the stairs
Love for sale

It's very clear our love is here to stay
Not for a year, forever and a day
The radio and the telephone
And the movies that we know
They're all just passing fancies
That in time may go
Oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble,
Gibraltar may tumble, they're only made of clay
Oh, our love is here to stay

The sky's blowin' on me
Pourin' water on my head
He ain't stoppin' soon
Black children hidin' me from light
White ones tryin' to kill me
So kill me
I love me some you

Can't seem to get my step
Walkin' in someone else's shoes
Too big for my feet
Just as soon wear none at all
Might cut my skin on the concrete
Cut me
I love me some you

I can make it through the night
But can I make it to the night

Somethin' ain't right with me
Can't figure what it is
Justify my way
My one side messin' with my head
My other side tryin' to leave me
Don't leave me
I love me some you

Loved by me
You'll never know if you are loved by me
As pretty as your face is
I'd never round the bases
From a distance home is easier to see

I'd be fine
If I could find the nerve to say my line
Too bad I lack the fervor
'Cause maybe I could swerve her
Off her beaten path and onto mine

To publish my obsession
Of love without confession
Would be to share the spotlight with chagrin
I'd rather just admire
Fanning my own fire
And when it dies I'd live to love again

What to do
I've only started and already though
You may not ever meet me
Surely won't defeat me
I'll never know if I am loved by you

What to do
I've only started and already though
You may not ever meet me
Surely won't defeat me
Seems I'm just too yellow to pursue
Guess I'll never know if I am loved by you

Maybe far away, or maybe real near by.He may be pouring her coffee,She may be Straightning his tie.Maybe in a house all hidden by a hill,She's sittin' playin' Piano,He's sittin' payin' a bill.Betcha they're young.Betcha they're smart,Bet they collect things like ashtrays and art.Betcha there good.Why shouldn't they be?Their one mistake was giving up me.So maybe now it's time,And maybe when I wake,They'll be there calling me baby,Maybe.

Mama told me not to try to be nobody
I listened to her
Mama told me I'd grow up to be somebody
Looka here
Savin money's hard when you can't save your soul
I'll get through it
Tryin to dig myself out of this mighty hole
Listen to what I say
Got my mind on the matter
Sure as I tell ya
Now you know that's right
I look down at my hands and
I see labor burns
It's a part of livin
Keepin my feet on the ground while the world turns
It's all on me
Got my mind on the matter
Sure as I tell ya
Now you know that's right

More
Than the greatest love the world
Has known

This
Is the love I'll give to you
Alone.

More
Than the simple words
I've tried to say,
I'll only live to love you
More each day.

More than you'll ever know,
My arms long to hold you so.
My life will be in your keepin',
Wakin'... sleepin'... laughin'...weepin'.

Longer
Than always is a long, long time,
But far beyond forever,
You'll be mine.
I know I've never lived before,
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more.

More than you'll ever know,
My arms long to hold you so.
My life will be in your keepin',
Wakin'... sleepin'... laughin'...weepin'.

But far beyond forever,
You'll be mine.
I know I've never lived before,
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more.

Next to the highway -- a noisy place
Will anyone ever want me
Tiny place next to the highway
Could anyone ever want me
I don't have a car
My job pays poor
So much love in my heart
Looks as if I may have lost my allure
But I've got much love in my heart

My appetite for love's voracious
Will anyone entertain me
It's no wonder my bed seems spacious
Could anyone entertain me
Is it possible
For two of us
To have much love in our hearts
How it would be
Fortuitous
To find that much love in a heart

The heat of winter's chill on my face
Burning that's deep in my chest
It's cold and familiar in second place
Knowing I've done my best

The certain cause for my ambition
To dress an unyielding sadness
Flirting with an absent addition
To simmer away my madness
The curb that I climb
Is much too steep
To carry that heavy a heart
I'll stay where I stand
And just try to keep
Love in that heavy a heart

Away from the highway -- a quiet place
Will I ever find my true love
Majestic and far from the highway
Could I have had my last love
I ride in a plane
My job pays high
Still so much love in my heart
At least I'll be sure of my place in the sky
With all this love in my heart

I look at them shuffle and the shuffle come down
Ramblin' and scramblin' and a-headin' for town
Hoppin' and boppin' and a-buzzin' around
Happily awaitin' at the station
I look at that train number 709
Hoppin' and boppin' and arrivin' on time
Who do you think is about to arrive
The band they call the Dixieland FiveThey're gonna play that muskrat ramble tune
Like the way you never heard it played
Get ready for the big parade
All together now - one and two
Join that happy crowd
Tellin' me that ramblin' scramblin' muskrat song
Come on, ramble along
Yeah

When whippoorwills call and evening is nigh,
I hurry to my Blue Heaven.
A turn to the right, a little white light,
Will lead me to my Blue Heaven.

I'll see a smiling face, a fireplace, a cozy room,
A little nest that nestles where the roses bloom;
Just Julie and me, and baby makes three,
We're happy in my Blue Heaven.

You know I'm gonna see a smiling face, a fireplace, a cozy room,
A little nest that nestles where the roses bloom;
Just Julie and me, and baby makes three,
We're happy in my Blue Heaven.

My prayer is to linger with you
At the end of the day
In a dream that's divine...

My prayer is a rapture in blue
With the world far away
And your lips close to mine.

Tonight, while our hearts are aglow,
Oh, tell me the words that I'm longing to know...

My prayer and the answer you give,
May they still be the same for as long as we live,
That you'll always be there
At the end of my prayer

When the twilight is gone
And no songbird is singing
When the twilight is gone
You come into my heart
And here in my heart do you stay
While I pray

Tonight, while our hearts are aglow,
Oh, tell me the words that I'm longing to know...

My prayer and the answer you give,
May they still be the same for as long as we live,
That you'll always be there
At the end of my prayer

I wish you could have lived my life
No way to know
The fun I had
I ride in limousines
But it means nothing
I roll down the tinted glass
To see outside
I like to see how much I pass
On my roller coaster ride
It's hard to remember
Seems I was never young
I wish you could have been right there
My future was the end of time
And all the girls I needed
Never knew me
I've fallen deep inside my well
Without a pail
And if you come to rescue me
I'll tell my fairy tale
It's hard to remember
Seems I was never young
What curtains fall
On childhood stages
That never rise
To show the crowd
Things I drag
Throughout the ages
Never seem
To speak out loud
I wish that you were here right now
I guess I passed my chance away
A pallid grey is mostly what I see now
I live my life
And never stop to
Close the doors
And all time I never thought
Of living yours
It's hard to remember
Seems I was never young

Save time to collect my fortune
Paid upon arrival
But I don't know where I'll be goin
I'm travellin survival
Aw, girl
When I get there
If it ain't for free
I want you to know there's
Nobody like you to me
I've been scarred by my commitment
To tell them what I see
But I can't see that I've
Been blinded
By mediocrity
Aw, girl
If I dare
To change what it should be
I want you to know there's
Nobody like you to me
Maybe I should take it easy
Seems I'm the only one
But you won't let me rest my conscience
'Till all I know is done
Aw, girl
If I care
Enough to disagree
I want you to know there's
Nobody like you to me

In a way, I really don't know much at all
And if you say that I'm simple, you're on the ball
On the ball to say that I'm going nowhere
But I'm going nowhere with love

They all say that I'm not impressive at best
That's O.K., I've got nobody to impress
My impression is they'd rather be elsewhere
Oh, I'm staying nowhere with love

Well, it's better to be happy in a cardboard shack
Than to be alone in a castle
All you get for your money is a heart attack
I'd just as soon alleviate the hassle

Every day, I watch the go-getters go by
Even they say the ladder is much too high
Why should I go high, I'm happy below there
Right here in nowhere with love

Oh my Nola
Same old song and dance
Don't let her catch you with a care
She won't let you down
If you give yourself a chance
Oh won't you let me take you there

Oh my Nola
Never goes away
Look for her crescent inner moon
And if you listen
When you walk the du Veinz Carre
You'll hear that gentle Creole tune

How proud would Louis and Mahalia be
To know that their memory was safe with me

Oh my Nola
Old and true and strong
Just like a tall magnolia tree
Sit me in the shade
And I'm right where I belong
Oh my New Orleans
Wait for me

How proud would Satchmo and Mahalia be
To know that their memory was safe with me

Oh my Nola
Old and true and strong
Just like a tall magnolia tree
Sit me in the shade
And I'm right where I belong
Oh my New Orleans
Wait for me

Do you hear that whistle down the line?
I figure that it's engine number forty-nine
She's the only one that'll sound that way
On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa FeSee the old smoke risin 'round the bend
I reckon that she knows she's gonna meet a friend
Folks around these parts get the time of day
From the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa FeHere she comes
Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Hey Jim, you'd better get the rig
Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
She's got a list of passengers that's pretty bigAnd they'll all want lifts to Brown's Hotel
'Cause of lots of them been travelin for quite a spell
All the way from Philadelphia
On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe

I have often walked down this street before
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before
All at once am I several stories high
Knowing I'm on the street where you liveAre there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour out of every door?
No, it's just on the street where you liveAnd oh, the towering feeling just to know
Somehow you are near
The overpowering feeling that any second
You may suddenly appearPeople stop and stare, they don't bother me
For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be
Let the time go by, I don't care if I can be here
On the street where you live

Once
Is all I'll need to show you
Love making is an art
But once-made love
Won't be nearly enough
Once
I win your heart

Once
Upon a timeless romance
Love often was denied
But a thousand knights
Couldn't take me away
Once
I'm at your side

The world gets bigger as you look behind
Pouring in when you leave
You'll miss where you're going if you stare
I hope you're next to me
Watching it all go by
You'd get lost in all that world

Once
Just comes once in a lifetime
Then it becomes ago
All I ask is to kiss your lips
Once
And then you'll know
Once
And then you'll know

Turn off the musicTake down the signs
Pack up the boxes Put away the wine
No toast for the future No reward for the find
If looks could kill This mirror would do
Only 'cause I don't have you
Later on good wishes Later on good try
I'm afraid won't do It's not justified
You go from the privy And you end up deprived
On top of the world But still there's no view
Only 'cause I don't have you
Not built on a wisp or whim Twist an arm, break a leg
Tear me limb from limb If there's a point you've made it
If there's a fare I've paid it
Don't bother with ovations Leave off the fanfare
Let the candles melt down Till the smoke's all that's there
Leave the veil in place A tear,
la mer I could say it was nothing
Now that there's nothing new
Only 'cause I don't have you

Only you can make this world seem right
Only you can make the darkness bright
Only you and you alone
Can thrill me like you do
And fill my heart with love for only you

Only you, only you can make this change in me
For it's true you are my destiny
When you hold my hand I understand
The magic that you do
You're my dream come true
My one and only you

Only you, only you can make this change in me
For it's true, oh baby you are my destiny
When you hold my hand I understand
The magic that you do
You're my dream come true
My one and only you

If you are wise you'll listen to meGum chewing's fine when it's once in a while
It stops you from smoking and brightens your smile

Chewing and chewing all day long

I've got another puzzle for you
Oompa loompa doompeda dee
If you are wise you'll listen to meWhat do you get from a glut of TV
A pain in the neck and an IQ of three
Why don't you try simply reading a boo

Who are you in the other hours
When your hair's undone
And your guard's let down
When you're all alone in your all nightgown
Are you the life of the party then?
Sitting by yourself, again

Where are you in the other hours
Are you in a secret place that calls
When you're by yourself with in your walls
Are you undressed with someplace to go
Off to catch your private show

Why do you greet the morning
Draping your heart in a shroud
Why must your life be a sideshow
Played to an ignorant crowd

How are you, in the other hours
Do you pray for morning to arrive
Do you wonder how you can stay alive
Are you at peace in a troubled mind
Hoping no one else would find
You're only playing dumb
'til the other hours come

[piano]

Who do you think you're fooling
Turning your face from the light
Clearly you're turning to something
that are revealed by the night

What are you in the other hours
Are you queen of some abandoned song
Thinking how your crown of jewels had shone
You're sitting there with no one to reign
You think no one sees your pain
And no one hears your drum
So the other hours come

Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star and
wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then oh, why can't I
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I

Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you'll see into your imagination.
We'll begin with a spin traveling in the world of my creation.
What we'll see will defy explanation.
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it.
Anything you want to do it.

You can even eat the dishes
Who can take a sunrise
Sprinkle it with dew
Cover it in chocolate and a miracle or two
The Candy Man
The Candy Man can
The Candy Man can
'cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good

Who can take a rainbow
Wrap it in a sigh
Soak it in the sun and make strawberry-lemon pie
The Candy Man
The Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good
The Candy man makes everything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious
Talk about your childhood wishes
You can even eat the dishes
Yes...
The Candy man makes everything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious
Talk about your childhood wishes
Wanna change the world?
There's nothing to it.

There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination.
Living there you'll be free if you truly wish to be.

And the world tastes good 'cause the Candy Man thinks it should...
