Steve Tyrell

No one to talk with
All by myself
No one to walk with
But I'm happy on the shelf
Ain't misbehavin'
I'm savin' my love for you

I know for certain
The one I love
I'm through with flirtin'
It's just you I'm thinkin' of
Ain't misbehavin'
I'm savin' my love for you

Like Jack Horner
In the corner
Don't go nowhere
What do I care?
Your kisses are worth waitin' for
Believe me

I don't stay out late
Don't care to go
I'm home about eight
Just me and my radio
Ain't misbehavin'
I'm savin' my love for you

Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
And my heart beats so
that I can hardly speak;
And I seem to find the happiness
I seek
When we're out together dancing,
cheek to cheek.

Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
And the cares that hang around me
thro' the week
Seem to vanish like
a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing,
cheek to cheek.

Oh! I love to climb a mountain,
And to reach the highest peak,
But it doesn't thrill me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek.

Oh! I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek,
But I don't enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek.

Dance with me
I want my arm about you;
The charm about you
Will carry me thro' to Heaven

I'm in Heaven,
and my heart beats so
that I can hardly speak;
And I seem to find the happiness
I seek
When we're out together
dancing cheek to cheek.

Seems I got to have a change in scene,
'Cause every night I have the strangest dreams.
Imprisoned by the way things used to be, yeah,
Left here on my own or so it seems.
I got to leave before I start to scream,
'Cause somebody locked the door and took the key.

*Feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself.
Feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself.

Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo-ooo.

Baby, you sure took me on one big ride,
And, even now I sit and wonder why.
Then, when I think of you, I start to cry,
I know I can't get upset and I must keep dry.
I got to stop believin' in all your lies,
'Cause I got too much to do before I die.

*Repeat

Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo-ooo.

*Repeat

Oh, yeah.

*Repeat

Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo-ooo.

Folks are blessed
who make the best of everyday
Living by their own philosophy
Everyone beneath the sun must find a way
And I have found the only way for me

I don't believe in frettin' and grievin';
Why mess around with strife
I never was cut out to step and strut out.
Give me the simple life.

Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant.
Those things roll off my knife;
Just serve me tomatoes;
and mashed potatoes;
Give me the simple life.

A cottage small if all I'm after,
Not one that's spacious and wide.
A house that rings with joy and laughter
And the ones you love inside.

Some like the high road,
I like the low road,
Free from the care and strife.
Sounds corny and seedy,
but yes, indeed-y;
I like the simple life.

Life could be thrilling with one
who's willing
To be a farmer's wife
Kids calling me pappy could
sure make me happy
Give me the simple life

I hear her voice in my mind
I know her face by heart
Heaven and earth are moving in my soul
I don't know where to start
Tell me tell me the workds to define
The way I feel about someone so fine

*How do you talk to an angel
How do you hold her close to where you are
How do you talk to an angel
It's like trying to catch a falling star

At night I dream that she is there
And I can feel her in the air
Tell me tell me the words to define
The way I feel about someone so fine

*Repeat

I just don't know what to do with myself
Don't know just what to do with myself
I'm so used to doing everything with you
Planning everything for two
And now that we're through

I just don't know what to do with my time
I'm so lonesome for you it's a crime
Going to a movie only makes me sad
Parties make me feel as bad when I'm not with you
I just don't know what to do

Like a summer rose needs the sun and the rain
I need your sweet love to ease all the pain

I just don't know what to do with myself
Don't know just what to do with myself
Baby if your new love ever turns you down
Come on back I will be around, just waiting for you
I don't know what else to do
I don't know what else to do

I just don't know what to do with myself
Don't know just what to do with myself
I'm so used to doing everything with you
Planning everything for two
And now that we're through

I just don't know what to do with my time
I'm so lonesome for you it's a crime
Going to a movie only makes me sad
Parties make me feel as bad when I'm not with you
I just don't know what to do

Like a summer rose needs the sun and the rain
I need your sweet love to ease all the pain

I just don't know what to do with myself
Don't know just what to do with myself
Baby if your new love ever turns you down
Come on back I will be around, just waiting for you
I don't know what else to do
I don't know what else to do

I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love
Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh, is it any wonder
I'm in the mood for love

Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid
if there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But for tonight forget it
I'm in the mood for love

Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid
if there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But for tonight forget it
I'm in the mood
I'm in the mood
l'm in the mood for love...

I'm thru with love,
I'll never fall again.
Said I do to love,
Don't ever call again.
For I must have you
Or no one.
That's why I'm thru with love.

I've locked my heart.
I keep my feelings there.
I have stopped my heart
Like an icy frigidaire.
For I need to care for no one.
That's why I'm thru with love.

Why did you leave me
To think that you cared.
You didn't need me.
You have your share
of slaves around you
To hound you and swear
Their deep devotion.
Emotion.

Did you good by the spring
And all it meant to me
a good neighbor
The things that used to be.
For I must have you or no one.
That's why I'm thru with love.
That's why I'm thru with love.

Merry month of may, sunny skies of blue,
clouds have rolled away and the sun peeps thru,
May express happiness, joy you may define in a thousand ways,
but a case like mine needs a "special phrase"
to reveal how I feel.

I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
Got the string around my finger,,
What a world, what a life, I'm in love!
I've got a song that I sing,

I can make the rain go, anytime I move my finger,
Lucky me, can't you see, I'm in love,
Life is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold the string,
I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let go,

I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
Got the string around my finger,
What a world, what a life, I'm in love.

I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,

Lucky me, can't you see, I'm in love,

I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
Got the string around my finger,
What a world, what a life, I'm in love.

It's very clear
Our love is here to stay
Not for a year
But forever and a day

The radio and the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies
And in time may go

But oh, my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're
We're goin' a long, long way

In time the Rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay

But oh, my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're
We're goin' a long, long way

In time the Rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here, our love is here
Yeah our love is here to stay

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is comin' to town

I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart
You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely night dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
Now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song
Beside a garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
A paradise where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
