The Ad
Raymond Bernard - David Newburge
Father puts an ad on the personal page
The print is black and clear
Saying Mary please write
Please don't drop out of site
Mary, we love you dear
Mary, we want you here
Oh, Mary, why did you disappear?
Mother sits at home by the telephone
Her tears won't cease to flow
Praying Mary will call
But there's no call at all
Mary, where did you go?
That's all we want to know
Oh, Mary, call us and say hello
Meanwhile in the city
Mary looks pretty
eating an ice cream cone
With her childhood past
She's free at last
And making it on her own
Jimmy puts an ad on the personal page
He can't believe they're through
Darling, I was so blind
But I'm changing my mind
Mary I'll marry you
Just like you want me to
We'll do whatever you want to do
When the ads are in and the type is set
The printer makes a plate
Then it goes off to press
Will the ad bring success?
Jimmy can hardly wait
Mother is in a state
They still don't know that it's much too late
Mary, the escaper, picks up a paper
Reads what the columns say
Walking through a crowd she laughs out loud
And tosses the sheet away
(laughter)
As If We Never Said Goodbye
From SUNSET BOULEVARD - Webber, Black, Hampton, Powers
I don't know why I'm frightened
I know my way around here
The cardboard trees, the painted seas,
the sound here
Yes a world to rediscover
But I'm not in any hurry
And I need a moment
The whispered conversations
In over-crowded hallways
The atmosphere, as thrilling here as always
Feel the early morning madness
Feel the magic in the making
Why everything's as if we never said goodbye
I've spent so many mornings
Just trying to resist you
I'm trembling now you can't know how
I've missed you
Missed the fairy-tale adventures
In this ever spinning playground
We were young together
I'm coming out of make-up
The lights already burning
Not long until the cameras will start turning
And the early morning madness
And the magic in the making
Yes everything's as if we never said goodbye
I don't want to be alone
That's all in the past
This world's waited long enough
I've come home at last
And this time will be bigger
And brighter than we knew it
So watch me fly we all know I can do it
Could I stop my hand from shaking?
Has there ever been a moment
With so much to live for?
The whispered conversations
In over-crowded hallways
So much to say not just today but always
We'll have early morning madness
We'll have magic in the making
Yes everything's as if we never said goodbye
Yes everything's as if we never said goodbye
We taught the world
New ways to dream
Ballad of a Sad Young Man
Landsman/Wolf
Sing a song of sad young men
Glasses full of rye
All the news is bad again
Kiss your dreams goodbye
All the sad young men
Sitting in the bars
Knowing neon nights
And missing all the stars
All the sad young men
Drifting through the town
Drinking up the night
Trying not to drown
All the sad young men
Singing in the cold
Trying to forget
That they're growing old
All the sad young men
Choking on their youth
Trying to be brave
Running from the truth
While a grimy moon watches from above
All the sad young men play at making love
Misbegotten moon, shine for sad young men
Let your gentle light
Guide them home again
All the sad young men
Call Me
Tony Hatch
If you're feeling sad and lonely
There's a service I can render
Tell the one who loves you only
I can be so warm and tender
Call me, don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me and I'll be around
When it seems your friends desert you
There's somebody thinking of you
I'm the one who'll never hurt you
Maybe that's because I love you
Call me, don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me and I'll be around
Now don't forget me
'Cause if you let me
I will always stay by you
You gotta trust me
That's how it must be
There's so much that I can do
If you call I'll be right with you
You and I should be together
Take this love I long to give you
I'll be at your side forever
Call me, don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me and I'll be around
instrumental bridge
Call me, don't be afraid, you can call me

Call me, don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me and I'll be around
You gotta call me, call me now
The Cat In The Window
The Bird In The Sky - Gordon / Bonner
Fly away, fly away
There's a cat in the window
And he's watching all the birds go passing by
He'd love to fly out the window
Go where the wind goes
And so would I
Like that cat in the window
Who keeps wishing for some wings to take a ride
I'd love to glide to a rainbow
Off where the clouds go dancing by
And if I could fly
You wouldn't find me hangin' around
Watching the birds go by
Yes, the cat in the window
Has a tear in his eye
I should leave today, fly away
Why, oh, why should I stay?
Like the cat in the window
Who keeps watching the birds
Go by from my window
If I could fly though
You won't find me
Don't even try to
Colour My World
Trent / Hatch
You'll never see a dark cloud
hanging 'round me
Now there is only blue sky
to surround me
There's never been a grey day
since you found me
Everything I touch
is turning to gold
[Chorus]
So you can colour my world
with sunshine yellow each day
Oh you can colour my world
with happiness all the way
Just take the green from the grass
and the blue from the sky up above
And if you colour my world
just paint it with your love
Just colour my world
Just as long as I know
you're thinking of me
There'll be a rainbow
always up above me
Since I found the one
who really loves me
Everything I touch
is turning to gold
[Chorus]
Sunshine yellow, orange blossom
Laughing faces everywhere, yeah
[Chorus]
Just colour my world
Colour my world
Oh, colour my world
Cross The Border
Petula Clark / Siegfried Fietz
They say love goes where the stream flows
Love will cross the border
And if love shows us the way...maybe
The desert will bloom again.
I dreamed I was in Africa
beneath a cloudless sky
No food to feed my family,
No strength in me to cry
It was only a dream
thank GOD it won't come true
But the suffering I've seen
keeps haunting me through and through
But if love goes where the stream flows
Love can cross the border
And if love goes all the way...maybe
Their suffering will not be in vain
I've seen the people searching
for an answer to their pain
I can still hear them praying
for the rains to come again
And they're willing to learn
if we're willing to teach
Deep beneath the earth
there is water within our reach
They say love goes where the stream flows
Love will cross the border
and if love goes all the way....they'll see
That land growing green again
They say love goes where the stream flows
Love can cross the border
And if love goes all the way....maybe
The desert will bloom again.
Don't Give Up
Hatch / Trent
When love seems to let you down
When you can't turn around and run
You've got to stop and face the fact
That the heartaches have just begun
Because you need love, you need love
Keep on till you know that you've won, yeah!
[Chorus]
Don't give up, don't let it get you down
Don't give up, don't think of leaving town
Don't give up, don't run away from it
Love will be yours in the end, my friend
When someone is on your mind
And you can't find the words to say
Don't put off until tomorrow, my friend
What you know you've gotta do today
Because you need love, you need love
And in time you'll discover the way, yeah!
[Chorus]
Instrumental bridge
You know you need love, you need love
Keep on till you know that you've won, yeah!
[Chorus] repeat
Don't Sleep In The Subway
Hatch / Trent
You wander around on your own little cloud
When you don't see the why or the wherefore
You walk out on me when we both disagree
'Cause to reason is not what you care for
I've heard it all a million times before
Take off your coat, my love, and close the door
[Chorus]
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'
Don't stand in the pouring rain
But don't sleep in the subway, darlin'
The night is long
Forget your foolish pride
Nothing's wrong
Now you're beside me again
You try to be smart, then you take it to heart
'Cause it hurts when your ego is deflated
You don't realize that it's all compromise
And the problems are so overrated
Goodbye means nothing when it's all for show
So why pretend you've somewhere else to go
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'
Don't stand in the pouring rain
But don't sleep in the subway, darlin'
The night is long
Forget your foolish pride
Nothing's wrong
Now you're beside me again
[Chorus]
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'
Don't stand in the pouring rain
But don't sleep in the subway, darlin' ...
Downtown
Tony Hatch
When you're alone
and life is making you lonely
You can always go -
Downtown
When you've got worries,
all the noise and the hurry
seems to help, I know -
Downtown
Just listen to the music
of the traffic in the city,
Linger on the sidewalks
where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there,
You can forget all your troubles,
Forget all your cares, and go
Downtown
Things'll be great when you're -
Downtown
No finer place for sure -
Downtown
Everything's waiting for you -
(Downtown)
Don't hang around and
let your problems surround you,
there are movie shows -
Downtown
Maybe you know
some little places to go to
where they never close -
Downtown Just listen to the rhythm
of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with 'em too
before the night is over
Happy again
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles,
forget all your cares, and go
Downtown
Where all the lights are bright -
Downtown
Waiting for you tonight -
Downtown
You're gonna be alright now -
(downtown)
instrumental bridge
And you may find somebody kind
to help and understand you,
Someone who is just like you
and needs a gentle hand to
guide them along
So maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles,
forget all our cares, and go
Downtown
Things'll be great when you're -
Downtown
Don't wait a minute more -
Downtown
Everything's waiting for you -
(Downtown)
Downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown...
(repeat & fade)

Eternally
Chaplin / Parsons
I'll be loving you eternally
With a love that's true, eternally
From the start within my heart
It seems I've always known
The sun would shine when you were mine
And mine alone
I'll be loving you eternally
There'll be no one new my dear, for me, no
Though the sky should fall
Remember I shall always be
Forever true and loving you eternally
instrumental bridge
Though the sky should fall
Remember I shall always be
Forever true and loving you

For Love
Al Grant
Just hang on to your heart
And when you feel you've found
The one and only one to give it to
There'll be nothing you won't try to do
For love
You can't believe it now
But one fine day you'll see
That everything I say is coming true
And there'll be nothing you won't try to do
For love
He'll want to show you the world of his dreams
And his kisses will open the doors
There you will find only wonderful things
And these wonderful things will be yours
For love
instrumental bridge
ell, there'll be nothing you won't try to do
For love
There'll be nothing you won't try to do
For love, For love, For love, For love
Goodnight Sweet Dreams
Weinstein / Stroll
In the blindness of creation
In a multitude of crimes
Where there's no communication
In a message filled with rhymes
Down a green embroidered stairway
Through a manhole in the wall
Left to wallow in the sewers
Hearing echoes down the hall
Goodnight
Sweet Dreams
Don't you know the mighty sun is dawning
Goodnight
Sweet Dreams
Let me wake up to the pureness of the morning
Sweet dreams are gone again
Stranded high upon a tower
In a nonexistant town
Fighting vertigo in color
And there's no way to come down
Someone rings an elevator
And he offers you escape
And you fall into a classroom
Where you fail attempted hate
Goodnight
Sweet Dreams
Don't you know the mighty sun is dawning
Goodnight
Sweet Dreams
Let me wake up to the pureness of the morning
Sweet dreams are gone again
Hearing music that was written by a giant feather pen
And forgetting all the changes when I whistled it again
Then I suddenly remember in the boredom of the day
I was dreaming of awaking when the music slipped away
Goodnight
Sweet Dreams
Don't you know the mighty sun is dawning
Goodnight
Sweet Dreams
Let me wake up to the pureness of the morning
Goodnight
Happy Heart
Hans Last / Jackie Rae
There's a certain sound
always follows me around
When you're close to me
you will hear it
It's the sound that lovers
finally will discover
When there is no other
for their love
[Chorus]
It's my happy heart you hear
Singing loud and singing clear
And it's all because you're
near me, my love
Take my happy heart away
Make me love you
Make my day
In your arms I want stay,
Oh my love
Feeling more and more
like I've never felt before
You have changed my life
so completely
Music fills my soul now
I've lost all control now
I'm not half, I'm whole now
with your love
It's my happy heart you hear
Singing loud and singing clear
And it's all because you're
near me, my love
Take my happy heart away
Make me love you
Make my day
In your arms I want stay
Oh my love
It's my happy heart
Don't you hear my happy heart
Love
Believe me
It's my happy heart
Here For You
Petula Clark
If we never meet again
like a simple sweet refrain
la, la, la, la, la, la, la
I'll be here for you
When your life seems dark and cold
and you need a dream to hold
la, la, la, la, la, la, la
I'll be here for you
And now the time has come
to say goodbye
nothing seems to rhyme
running out of time
and out of words to say
So, I will simply tell you
other smiles may turn you on
but when all the smiles are gone
la, la, la, la, la, la, la
I'll be here for you
When the pain is all you see
close your eyes and think of me
la, la, la, la, la, la, la
I'll be here for you
If we never meet again
sing this simple sweet refrain
la, la, la, la, la, la, la
and I'll be here for you
And remember when you're gone
special things live on and on
la, la, la, la, la, la, la
I'll be here for you
la, la, la, la, la, la, la
la, la, la, la, la, la, la
la, la, la, la, la, la, la
I'll be here for you
just you
So, take my hand and promise me
you will keep this memory
la, la, la, la, la, la, la
and I'll be here for you
Just keep smiling through
every time you do
I'll be here for you
Here We Are
Sturiale / Harman
Here we are
And aren't they all surprised?
No one thought we'd make it through
People looked at us and analyzed
But the one thing they all missed
From the moment we first kissed
You filled a place in my heart
Healed a space in my heart
Where love had left a scar
You took my future in hand
Led me to a new land
Who dreamed we'd get this far
And here we are
Here we are
Just as you said we'd be
Having left the storm behind
Funny how things look so differently
When the sky above you clears
And you've seen beyond your fears
You filled a place in my heart
Filled a space in my heart
Where love had left a scar
And you showed me sights in the skies
Blazing lights in the skies
Where no one saw a star
And here we are
You showed me sights in the skies
Blazing lights in the skies
Where no one saw a star
And here we are
Standing tall
Hand in hand after all
After all we've been through
Who dreamed we'd get this far
And here we are
Here we are
Here We Are
Here We Are
Here We Are
I Couldn't Live Without Your Love
Hatch / Trent
You're the only one that I rely on
A shoulder there for me to cry on
And the hours alone that I'm without you
All I ever do is think about you
No one knows that you're so understanding
Even though my love is so demanding
Everytime you look at me
Then you'll know we'll both agree
That no other love could be
[Chorus]
I couldn't live without your love
Now I know you're really mine
I gotta have you all the time
Didn't like you much when I first met you
But somehow I couldn't quite forget you
Said you didn't want a friend or lover
That your life was happy with another
But as time went by my love grew stronger
Knew that I just couldn't wait any longer
For I couldn't let you go
And I had to tell you so
That I loved you, then you'd know
[Chorus]
instrumental bridge
Now the tears are gone and I'm not cryin'
When you say you love me you're not lyin'
So when people want to stare
I know I don't really care
Just as long as you are there
[Chorus]
I Know A Place
Tony Hatch
Every day when the work is behind you
And the shop and the store
put the lock on the door
Just get away
where your worries won't find you
If you like, well I'll tell you more
Don't let the day get the better of you
When the evening comes
there's so much to do
You better put on your best
and wear a smile
Just come along with me awhile -
'Cause I tell you -
[Chorus]
I know a place
where the music is fine
And the lights are always low
I know a place where we can go
At the door
there's a man who will greet you
Then you go downstairs
to some tables and chairs
Soon I'm sure
you'll be tappin' your feet
Because the beat is the greatest there
All around there are girls and boys
It's a swingin' place -
A cellar full of noise
It's got an atmosphere
of its own somehow
You gotta come along right now -
'Cause I tell you -
[Chorus]
instrumental bridge
Well, all around there are girls and boys
It's a swingin' place -
A cellar full of noise
It's got an atmosphere
of its own somehow
You gotta come along right now
'Cause I tell you -
[Chorus]
I know a place where we can go
I know a place where the lights are low
You're gonna love this place I know
I know a place where we can go
I Will Wait for You
Legrand / Gimbel
The clock will tick away the hours one by one
And then the time will come when all the waiting's done
The time when you return and find me here and run staight
To my waiting arms
If it takes forever
I will wait for you
For a thousand summers
I will wait for you
Till you're back beside me
Till I'm holding you
Till I hear you sigh here in my arms
Anywhere you wander
Anywhere you go
Every day, remember how I love you so
In your heart, believe
What in my heart I know
That forever more I'll wait for you
I Never Do Anything Twice
Sondheim
When I was young and simple
I don't recall the date
I met a handsome captain of the guard
He visited my chambers one evening rather late
In tandem with a husky Saint Bernard
At first I was astonished
And tears came to my eyes
But, later when I asked him to resume
He said, to my surprise
My dear, it isn't wise
Where love is concerned one must freshen the bloom
Once, yes, once for a lark
Twice, though, loses the spark
One must never deny it
But after you try it you vary the diet
Said my handsome young guard
Yes, I know, but it's hard
But no matter how nice
I never do anything twice
La la da da de-ah da dum
I think about the baron
Who came at my command
And proffered me a riding crop and chains
The evening that we shared
Was meticulously planned
He took the most extraordinary pains
He trembled with excitement
His cheeks were quite aglow
And afterword he cried to me, encore!
He pleaded with me so to have another go
I murmured carressingly, whatever for?
Once, yes, once for a lark
Twice, though, loses the spark
Once, yes, once is delicious
But twice would be vicious
Or just repetitious
Someone's bound to be scarred
Yes, I know that it's hard
But, no matter the price
I never do anything twice
La la la la la la la la la la
And then there was the abbot
Who worshipped at my feet
Who dressed me in a wimple and in veils
He made a proposition which
I found rather sweet
And handed me a hammer and some nails
In time we lay contented
And he began again
By fingering the beads around our waists
I whispered to him then
We'll have to say amen
For I had developed more catholic tastes
Once, yes, once for a lark
Twice, though, loses the spark
As I said to the abbot
I'll get in the habit, but not in the habit
You've my highest regard
And I know that it's hard
Still, no matter the price
I'd never do anything twice
Once, yes, once can be nice
Love requires some spice
If you've something in view
Or something to do, totally new
I'll be there in a trice
But I never do anything twice
Except... No
I never do anything twice
I Wanna See Morning With Him
Wine-Levine
I wanna see morning with him, yeah
I wanna see morning with him
No, I'm not made of stone
And I'm not about to send him home, oh no
Tonight we're gonna see the sunshine
And I'm gonna love him
Though I'll fight him for a little while
Then I'll smile as he wins my heart away
Lips pressed on lips until the break of day
And I, I'll be so happy when I
Wake up and see morning with him
I'm gonna see morning with him
Tonight we're gonna see the sunshine
How I'm gonna love him
But I'll fight him for a little while
Then I'll smile as he wins my heart away
Lips pressed on lips until the break of day
And I, I won't be happy 'til I
Wake up and see morning with him
I'm gonna see morning with him
Ooh, in the morning with him
I Will Follow Him (Chariot)
Stole / Del Roma / Altman / Gimble
I will follow him
follow him wherever he may go
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep me away
I must follow him
ever since he touched my hand I knew
That near him I always must be
And nothing can keep him from me
He is my destiny
I love him, I love him, I love him
And where he goes I'll follow, forever and ever
And side by side together I'll be with my true love
And share a thousand sunsets, together, beside him
I will follow him
follow him wherever he may go
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep, keep me away
Away from my love
I love him, I love him, I love him
And where he goes I'll follow, forever and ever
And side by side together I'll be with my true love
And share a thousand sunsets, together, beside him
I will follow him
follow him wherever he may go
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep, keep me away
Away from my love
If Ever You're Lonely
Endrigo / Bardotti / Mason
Look at me
I can see there's no love in your eyes
Though you try to pretend
Look at me
Aw, there's no need to explain how you're feeling
I guess it's the end
And when you go
I will try not to cry as you kiss me goodbye
You'll never know
How much I'll miss you so
If ever you're lonely
If ever you're blue
If ever you need me
I'm waiting for you
And though your love has gone
You're still the only one
So if ever you're lonely
I'll run straight to you
Now as you walk away
Remember what I say
If ever you're lonely
I'm lonely like you
In my heart
For some time I have known deep inside
You have somebody new
But my heart
Will still want you forever
Although it is broken in two
You're not to blame
No, go be happy with her
And if one night you whisper my name
Come to my arms again
If ever you're lonely
If ever you're blue
If ever you need me
I'm waiting for you
And though your love has gone
You're still the only one
So if you're lonely I'll run straight to you, yeah
Now as you walk away
Remember what I say
If ever you're lonely
I'm lonely like you
If ever you're lonely darling
Da da de da ah oh
Da da de da ah oh
If ever you're lonely I'll run straight to you
Just Say Goodbye
Clark / Hatch / Delanoe
Just say goodbye
And let me walk away
There's nothing more to say
When love like ours can die
Just say goodbye
Forget the life we knew
The memories of you
Will only make me cry
Just say goodbye
To leave me on my own
To face the world alone
Yet never knowing why
Just say goodbye
And though I don't know how
I couldn't hate you now
No matter how I tried
Just say goodbye
It's sad that you must go
You loved me once I know
This much I can't deny
Oh, my love
My only love
Where did we go wrong
Oh, my love
My only love
How can I
Oh, how can I go on
Just say goodbye
It's sad that you must go
You loved me once I know
This much I can't deny
Just say goodbye
And please don't turn around
Another love you've found
Now, spread your wings and fly
Just say goodbye, yeah yeah
Just say goodbye
Just say goodbye, yeah
Just say goodbye
Kiss Me Goodbye
Mason / Reed
We choose it, win or lose it
Love is never quite the same
I love you, now I've lost you
Don't feel bad, you're not to blame
So kiss me goodbye and I'll try not to cry
All the tears in the world won't change your mind
There's someone new and she's waiting for you
Soon your heart will be leaving me behind
Linger awhile, then I'll go with a smile
Like a friend who just happened to call
For the last time pretend your are mine
My darling, kiss me goodbye
I know now, I must go now
Though my heart wants me to stay
That girl is your tomorrow
I belong to yesterday
So kiss me goodbye and I'll try not to cry
All the tears in the world won't change your mind
There's someone new and she's waiting for you
Soon your heart will be leaving me behind
Linger awhile, then I'll go with a smile
Like a friend who just happened to call
For the last time pretend your are mine
My darling, kiss me goodbye
My darling, kiss me goodbye
Let It Be Me
Curtis / Becaud / Delanoe
I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me
Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you'll love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me
And that you'll always
Let it be me
The Little Blue Man
Ebb / Klein
One morning while I was out shopping,
though you'll find it hard to believe,
a little blue man came out of the crowd
and timidly tugged at my sleeve.
[Chorus]
I wuv you, I wuv you, said the little blue man,
I wuv you, I wuv you to bits,
I wuv you, he loved me, said the little blue man, and scared me out of my wits.
I hurried back to my apartment,
I rushed in and I closed the door,
but there on my desk stood the little blue man,
who started to tell me once more.
[Chorus]...I wuv you
For weeks after that I was haunted, though no one could see him but me,
right by my side was the little blue man,
wherever I happened to be.
[Chorus]....I wuv you
One evening in wild desperation,
I rushed to a rooftop in town
and over the side pushed the little blue man,
who sang to me on the way down,
I wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuvvvvv yoooooooooo.
I whispered thank goodness that's over, I smiled as I hurried outside,
but there on the street stood the little blue man,
who said, with a tear in his eye,
"I don't wuv you any more."
Love Is Here
Al Grant
Love is here
And its music's filling the air
Love is here
You can feel it everywhere, yeah
Beautiful thing to happen
Heavenly thing to happen
Didn't you feel it happen
Didn't you feel it happen
Oh, love is here
There are flowers blooming in space
Love is here
And the world's a beautiful place
Marvelous thing to happen
Fabulous thing to happen
Tell me you felt it happen
Didn't you feel it happen
Oh, let this wonderful thing surround us
Reach out and touch everyone around us
Love is here
And its music's filling the air
Love is here
You can feel it everywhere

Ooh, didn't you feel it happen
Didn't you feel it happen
Oh, Love is here
Oh, love is here
Yes, love is here
Love is a Long Journey
Petula Clark
Love is a long, long journey
And on a long, long journey
There are things that happen
We just can't foresee
So when you say forever
Although you mean forever
There's a voice inside me
Saying this can't be
But when you hold my hand
You know I feel so grand
I mean I feel that we could beat this mystery
And I believe with all my heart
I believe, oh yes, I believe
But love is a long, long journey
And on a long, long journey
There are things that happen
We just can't foresee
So when you say forever
Although you mean forever
There's this voice inside me
Saying this can't be
When you say forever
Although you mean forever
There's this voice inside me
Saying this can't be
But when you say that it's true
I start believing you
And then the spell, you see
Begins to work on me
And I believe
With all my my heart
I believe
Oh yes, I believe
My Love
Tony Hatch
[Chorus]
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine
Softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean
Wider than the sky
My love is brighter than the brightest star
That shines every night above
And there is nothing in this world
That can ever change my love
Something happened to my heart
the day that I met you
Something that I never felt before
You are always on my mind
no matter what I do
And every day it seems I want you more
[Chorus]
Once I thought that love was meant
for anyone else but me
Once I thought you'd never come my way
Now it only goes to show
how wrong we all can be
For now I have to tell you every day
[Chorus] (repeat)
Now That You've Gone
Clark / Ballay / Newell
Why does all the world pass me by
Why does no one hear when I cry
Why do lonely arms long for you
Why can't I believe that it's true
Now that you've gone, gone, gone away
Gone, gone, gone away
Why is there a dawn but no day
Why do all the stars fade away
Why are shadows hiding the sun
Why do I have nowhere to run
Now that you've gone, gone, gone away
Gone, gone, gone away
Where are all the dreams that we knew
Whoever said dreams all come true
Where are they now
Why must life go on anymore
Why do I want you more and more
Why do I go on asking why
When you'll be my love till I die
Why have you gone, gone, gone away
Gone, gone, gone away
Where are all the dreams that we knew
Whoever said dreams all come true
Where are they now
Why must life go on anymore
Why do I want you more and more
Why do I go on asking why
When you'll be my love till I die
Why have you gone, gone, gone away
Gone, gone, gone away
From me?
One More Sunrise (Morgan)
Morgen / Moesser / Sherman
One more sunrise
One more day to get through
One more sunrise
One more day without you
And those lips that I knew could never be true
One more sunrise
Now the heartaches begin
Wandering, wandering
Through the places we've been
Hoping that I can keep my sunnyside grin
Though our love is dead and gone
In my heart it still lives on and on
Feel like some poor dying swan
Tired of flyin', tryin'
Day by day I'm dying
One more sunrise
One more day we're apart
One more sunrise
One more daybreak for a breaking heart
Instrumental bridge
Hoping that I can keep my sunnyside grin

One more day we're apart

One more daybreak for a breaking heart
One more daybreak for a breaking heart

The Other Man's Grass Is Always Greener
Hatch / Trent
Life is never what it seems
We're always searching in our dreams
To find that little castle in the air
When worry starts to cloud the mind
It's hard to leave it all behind
And just pretend you haven't got a care
There's someone else in your imagination
You wish that you were standing in their shoes
You'd change your life without much hesitation
But would you if you really had to choose?
So, don't look around, get your feet on the ground
It's much better by far to be just who your are
[Chorus]
The other man's grass is always greener
The sun shines brighter on the other side
The other man's grass is always greener
Some are lucky, some are not
Just be thankful for what you've got
Many times it seems to me
There's someone else I'd rather be
Living in a world of make-believe
To stay in bed till nearly three
With nothing there to worry me
Would seem to be the life I might achieve
But deep inside I know I'm really lucky
With happiness I've never known before
And just as long as you are there beside me
I know that I could ask for nothing more
And living can start with the love in your heart
So with you all the time
All the treasures I've longed for are mine
The other man's grass is always greener
The sun shines brighter on the other side
The other man's grass is always greener
Some are lucky, some are not
But, I'm so thankful for what I've got
[Repeat chorus]
On the Path of Glory
Clark / Shaper
Blessed are the meek they say
They shall win where others lose
But when man is forced to slay
He is never asked to choose
He must fight for his country
Fight for what he thinks is right
He'll defend his wife and children
On the path of glory
Red or yellow, white or brown
All alike, one thought in mind
Who will wear the victor's crown
Never mind the lame and blind
In the pride of their country
Good will triumph in the end
Evil will be brought to justice
On the path of glory
Big or little, fat or thin
All are heroes in the end
Unforgivable the sin
To submit, they don't pretend
They will die for their country
They will die for you and me
Amid the pungent smell of death
That's on the path of glory
Why should man be forced to kill
Why should they be made to die
Shattered on some peaceful hill
Torn and bleeding where they lie
Far away from their country
Ask yourself the question now
Why should they be forced to set out
On the path of glory?
On With the Show
Clark / Shipman
When I think about all I've done and how little I had
When I first started out to make good
And the times were so bad
All I owned I could hold
In one battered old secondhand case
As I traveled each mile
A professional smile on my face
Going tired and wet
To yet one more forgettable place
On with the show
On with the show, I don't know why
But it's so
And on with the show
On and on and on with the show
I was never a child 'cause when you're poor
You've got to work like a man
For to eat you must earn
The rest you learn when you can
Every day, every night
Is a fight when you're hungry and broke
On the road, play a part
Sing a song, tap a dance, tell a joke
Break your heart for a smile
For a crumb
An occasional smoke
On With the show
On with the show, I don't know why
But it's so
And on with the show
On and on and on with the show
Then one night, there you are
Your name's up there
And you're a star
Last week the audience ignored you
Now they adore you
They're waiting for you
On and on and on
On with the show
On with the show, I don't know why
But it's so
And on with the show
On and on and on
On with the show
On and on and on
With the show
Romeo
Stolz / Kennedy
I studied Shakespeare
when I was at school
thought Romeo was a pet
Felt if I met him
I'd act like a fool
I'd be a poor Juliet
Now that I know himv
I'm not really sure
boy you're as charming as he
Saying the same things
to all the girls
or is it just to me
Romeo,
why am I so in love with you
Romeo,
is it you or the things you do
I've been yours
from the moment you said hello
Are you mine
or just only my Romeo
I studied Shakespeare
when I was at school
thought Romeo was a joy
I liked the true way
he loved Juliet
just my ideal of a boy
You know I like you as my Romeo
that's how I want you to be
but if you're out on some other date
can you be true to me
Romeo,
why am I so in love with you
Romeo,
is it you or the things you do
I've been yours
from the moment you said hello
Are you mine
or just only my Romeo
Round Every Corner
Tony Hatch
'round every corner, 'round every corner
'round every corner, 'round every corner
'round every corner, 'round every corner
'round every corner, 'round every corner
Stop feeling sad now
life ain't so bad now
'round every corner, 'round every corner
While you're debating, something's a-waiting
'round every corner, 'round every corner
When Columbus sailed away to other shores
How could he imagine all that waited for him?
Around every corner, around every corner
Around every corner, around every corner
Leave all the blue days
think about the new days
'round every corner, 'round every corner
Everything is yours now
open all the doors now
'round every corner, 'round every corner
Man will soon be standing on the moon above
Just imagine all the things that he'll discover
Around every corner, around every corner
Around every corner, around every corner
You've gotta stop a-sittin' there on the shelf
You've gotta start lookin' there for yourself, yeah
Around every corner, around every corner
Around every corner, around every corner
What's the use in crying?
Happiness is lying
Around every corner, around every corner
And if you want a true love
look for a new love
Around every corner, around every corner
Just forget the worries that you leave behind
There are many things to do and you can find them
'round every corner, 'round every corner
'round every corner, 'round every corner
'round every corner, 'round every corner
'round every corner, 'round every corner
Seize the Day
Lawrence Goldberg
How many times do you ask yourself
"What can I do to bring about a change?"
It's too hard a task yourself
The world's too large to rearrange
But if each one played a part, the greater heart
Would rise up and take wing, and accomplish
most anything
Seize the day, life is made of precious moments
Don't delay and waste the chance each one of us is given
If you stray, remember you can always be redriven
Seize the day, for time is slipping away
How many times do you tell yourself
That you can make a difference if you try
Only to sell yourself
An inexpensive alibi
It's easy to equivocate, procrastinate
And never take a stand, while the problems
grow out of hand.
Seize the day, life is made of precious moments
Don't delay and waste the chance each one of us is given
If you stray, remember you can always be redriven
Seize the day, for time is slipping...
Away so fast
Open your eyes and a year has passed
And in that year what have you done?
The war is waiting to be won but
How many times do you hide yourself
And fail to help another soul to live?
If only you'd pride yourself
In the power of the positive
It's common just to be confined in the daily grind
Forgetting that a dream may be closer than it may seem
Seize the day, life is made of precious moments
Don't delay and waste the chance each one of us is given
If you stray, remember you can always be redriven
Seize the day, seize the day, for time is slipping away
Let us pray each one of us sees the day
When lives won't slip away
A Sign Of The Times
Tony Hatch
It's a sign of the times
That your love for me is getting so much stronger
It's a sign of the times
And I know that I won't have to wait much longer
You've changed a lot somehow
from the one I used to know-oh-oh
For when you hold me now
ya' feel like you never wanna to let me go
It's a sign of the times
That you call me up whenever you feel lonely
It's a sign of the times
That you tell your friends that I'm your one and only
I'll never understand
the way you treated me-ee-ee
But when I hold your hand
I know you couldn't be the way you used to be
Maybe my lucky star at last decided to shine
Maybe somebody knows
how long I've waited to make you mine, mm-mm
instrumental bridge
I'll never understand
the way you treated me-ee-ee
But when I hold your hand
I know you couldn't be the way you used to be
Maybe my lucky star at last decided to shine
Maybe somebody knows
how long I've waited to make you mine
It's a sign of the times
That you kiss me now as if you really mean it
It's a sign of the times
And a year ago I never could have seen it
Don't ever change your mind
and take your love away-ay-ay
Just leave the past behind
and baby only think of how it is today
It's a sign of the ti-imes
It's a sign of the ti-i-i-i-imes
It's a sign of the times
It's a sign of the ti-i-i-i-imes
It's a sign of the times
The Theatre
Petula Clark
It's a funny thing,
the theatre,
when you stop and think of it.
The comedy, the drama,
when your're striving for the hit.
I mean, the idea of an audience
and an actor on the stage.
Well, don't you think it's rather funny
watching someone earn his wage?
There's something about the theatre
though I'm not sure what it is.
It's surely not the money
or the thing they call "show biz".
We hear about the magic of the theatre,
fantasy
quite unlike the movies or the telly.
I agree.
I love going to the theatre,
sitting right there, where you are
watching my favorite actor
or the birth of a new star.
All those magic evenings
with Lloyd-Webber or the Bard,
an old play by whoever,
something new by Tom Stoppard.
And the musicals of Bernstein, Hammerstein,
and Sondheim are so sublime
that sometimes I wish they'd never end.
The best way to go to the theatre
is right there, through the stage door.
I leave the world behind me
like a mantle on the floor.
And, oh, the sweet relief to know
at least for the next few hours
I'll know the plot
and in these times that's quite a lot.
And everybody knows their lines
and who they are and where they stand.
It's grand.
Unlike the world outside these doors.
the homeless that the world ignores,
the violence, the poverty,
the things we cannot help but see,
including our own inadequacy
to somehow make it right.
I can't forget the things I've seen
and all the places that I've been.
I can't forget,
some haunt me yet.
The millions of refugees
and my anger will not let me sleep
and when my grief becomes too deep, I sing.
Yeah, I sing.
I sing along with friends,
we sing and try to make amends
for some of life's insanity
and in the name of charity
we beg for money on the stage.
We smile and try to hide our rage.
We try to help.
I know that you do too.
Most of us do.
So, here we are in this hallowed place,
sharing a special time and space.
I hadn't realized before,
but maybe that's what the theatre is for,
to bring us together,
to make us see that the magic
is not just some fantasy.
Though we all need some fantasy.
No, the magic is here, in you, in me.
It's a funny thing, the theatre.
This Is My Song
Charles Chaplin
Why is my heart so light?
Why are the stars so bright?
Why is the sky so blue
Since the hour I met you?
Flowers are smiling bright
Smiling for our delight
Smiling so tenderly
For the world, you and me
I know why the world is smiling
Smiling so tenderly
It hears the same old story
Through all eternity
Love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you
The world cannot be wrong
If in this world there is you
I care not what the world may say
Without your love there is no day
So, love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you
instrumental bridge
I care not what the world may say
Without your love there is no day
So, love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you
The Wedding Song (There Is Love)
Paul Stookey - Performed by Paul Stookey, The Lettermen, Petula Clark, Captain & Tennille
He is now to be among you
at the calling of your hearts
Rest assured this troubadour
is acting on His part
The union of your spirits here
has caused Him to remain
For whenever two or more of you
are gathered in His name
There is Love, there is Love
Well, a man shall leave his mother
and a woman leave her home
They shall travel on to where
the two shall be as one
As it was in the beginning
is now and til the end
Woman draws her life from man
and gives it back again
There is Love, there is Love
Well, there must have been a reason
for becoming man and wife
Is it love that brings it here,
or Love that brings you life?
(Is it law that brings you here,
or Love that gives you life?)
For if Loving is the answer,
then who's the giving for?
Do you believe in something
that you've never seen before?
Oh, there is Love,
Oh, there's Love.
Oh, the marriage (union) of your spirits here
has caused Him to remain
For whenever two or more of you
are gathered in His name
There is Love, there is Love.
Who Am I
Hatch / Trent
The buildings reach up to the sky
The traffic thunders on the busy street
Pavement slips beneath my feet
I walk alone and wonder "Who am I?"
I close my eyes and I can fly
And I escape from all this worldly strife
Restricted by routine of life
But still I can't discover "Who am I?"
I long to wake up in the morning and find
everything has changed
And all the people that I meet don't wear a frown
But every day is just the same
I'm chasing rainbows in the rain
All the dreams that I believe in let me down
Maybe I'm reaching far too high
For I have something else entirely free
The love of someone close to me
Unfettered by the world that hurries by
To question such good fortune, who am I?
I long to wake up in the morning and find
everything has changed

For I have something else entirely free

You'd Better Come Home
Tony Hatch
You'd better come home
and stop your running around
You'd better come home
and get your feet on the ground
'cause I won't share my love with anyone new
You'd better be smart
you've gotta make up your mind
Stop breaking my heart
and leave the others behind
'cause I won't share my love whatever I do
The love that I give
for as long as I live will be yours
And nothing can change the way that I feel
So baby come back to me (baby come back to me)
Baby come back to me (baby come back to me)
Love me like you did before
You'd better come home
and see the damage you've done
You'd better come home
because you've had all your fun
And I won't share my love with anyone new
No, no
The love that I give
for as long as I live will be yours
And nothing can change the way that I feel
So baby come back to me (baby come back to me)
Baby come back to me (baby come back to me)
Love me like you did before
You'd better come home
and see the damage you've done
You'd better come home
because you've had all your fun
And I won't share my love with anyone new
No, no
I just want to share it with you
You'd better come home
You'd better come home

Clark / Hatch / Aber
Every time we meet, everything is sweet

You're the one that I long to kiss
Baby, you're the one that I really miss
You're the one that I'm dreamin' of
Baby, you're the one that I love
Keep me in your heart, never let us part

Baby, you're the one that I really miss
You're the one that I'm dreamin' of

I love you more each day

There may be some tears through the comin' years
Ooh, all the while I know you'll be smilin'

Thirty-First of June
Tears roll down my cheeks, can't you see them glisten?
I've tried to talk to you but you just won't listen
And though I wait each day and hope and pray
your love will come on soon,
its as far away as the thirty-first of June
You pass me by each day but you just don't know me
I know there's something there but you never show me
You're always on my mind and yet I find
I'm reaching for the moon
You're as far away as the thirty-first of June
There is nothing in the world that I want more
than to share my life with you
'cause I know I've never felt like this before
and I only wish you knew
I know the day may come when we're both together
If we could only start, it would be forever
Maybe these dreams of mine will break in time
just like a toy balloon
and I'll be waiting here till the thirty-first of June
You're as far away as the thirty-first of June
Yes, you're as far away as the thirty-first of June
When I Was a Child
Clive Westlake
When I was child, not so long ago
Life was full of make believe, toys upon the floor
Living in a world, everything was new
Lollipops and rainbows, picture books and glue
And summer days were long and the skies were always blue
When nothing seemed to matter then, not even you
Growing old was far away, so many things to do
When I was a child the days went by
I didn't count them all, did you?
Then the time went on, I grew up so fast
Then I found my young girl's dream
coming true at last
For I fell in love
I fell in love with you
And I'm just as happy now
Childhood days are through
When I see our children's toys upon the floor
I still remember when I was a child once more
Nothing really changes now
For life goes on the same
'Cause when I was a child the only difference is
that it's a bigger game
than when I was a child
When I see our children's toys upon the floor
I still remember when I was a child once more
Nothing really changes now
For life goes on the same
'Cause when I was a child the only difference is
that it's a bigger game
than when I was a child
The World Song
Petula Clark
Hey, don't you think it's time that we had a party
Wouldn't you agree we all need a good time
We could have the neighbors in for a drink
and lay a little food on too
You could ask the Joneses
I could ask the Thompsons
Stuart from the store
and don't forget the Johnsons
And what about the man who stands on the corner
He must have a tale or two to tell
Wouldn't it be nice to buy out the Fillmore
and fill it with our friends
and then if there's still more room
We could ask the folks from the City
To come along and feel at home
And if the ragged gypsy danced with the soldier
Think of all the things the soldier could learn
And think of all the things the doctor could tell the priest
There's a story to be told
Listen
Sounds so new, in truth, its old
Listen
Hey, maybe we should give an open invitation
We could have a friend from every single nation
We could ask the friends to bring along a friend
Anyone who wants to come will be welcome
Anyone who wants to make with the music
is going to be allowed to play what he wants to
Anyone who wants to sing us a song can bring us a song
and sing it if he wants to
Maybe we could hear the voices of China
Sharing a harmony with Carolina
Africa could take the bass with the Asians
Melody promotes our east-west relations
Russia and the USA would be singing
Everybody's bells and hearts would be ringing
We could get the song to go on forever
If everybody in the world sang together
There's a meaning oh so clear
Listen
Notes as old as life is dear
Listen
Maybe we could hear the voices of China
Sharing a harmony with Carolina
Africa could take the bass with the Asians
Melody promotes our east-west relations
Russia and the USA would be singing
Everybody's bells and hearts would be ringing
We could get the song to go on forever
If everybody in the world sang together, hey
Oh we could make such sweet music together
If you come with your heart in your hand

Sailor
Scharfenberger / West
Sailor stop your roaming
Sailor, leave the sea
Sailor, when the tide turns
Come home safe to me
As you sail across the sea
All my love is there beside you
In Capri or Amsterdam
Honolulu or Siam
To the harbour of my heart
I will send my love to guide you
As I call across the sea
Come home to me
Tell Me It's Not True
Willy Russell
Tell me it's not true
Say it's just a story
Something on the news
Tell me it's not true
Though it's here before me
And say it's just a dream
Say it's just a scene
From an old movie of years ago
From an old movie with Marilyn Monroe
Say it's just some clowns
Two players in the limelight
Bring the curtain down
Say it's just two clowns
Who couldn't get their lines right
And say it's just a show on the radio
That we can turn over and start again
That we can turn over, it's only a game,
Won't you tell me it's not true
Say I only dreamed it
Morning will come soon
And say it's just pretend
Say it's just the end
Of an old movie from years ago
From an old movie with Marilyn Monroe
Tell me, won't you tell me it's not true
Say you didn't mean it
Say it's just pretend
Say it's just the end of an old movie from years ago

From an old movie with Marilyn Monroe
Say it's just a story

The Little Shoemaker
Parsons, Korb, Turner, Phillips / Revil
In the shoemaker's shop this refrain would never stop
As he tapped away, working all the day
(At his bench, there was he, just as busy as a bee)
Little time to lose for the boots and shoes
But his heart went "pop" inside the little shop
When a lovely girl set 'em all a-whirl
She had come to choose some pretty dancing shoes
And he heard her say in a charming way
Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing
Dancing, dancing all the day
Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing
Dancing all my cares away
(Then he tapped and he stitched for his fingers were bewitched)
And he sewed a dream into every seam
(Making shoes, oh, so neat just like magic on her feet)
And he hoped she'd know that he loved her so
But she danced, danced, danced as though she were entranced
Like a spinning top all around the shop
On her dainty feet she whirled into the street
And he heard her say as she danced away
Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing
Dancing all my cares away
Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing
Dancing all my cares away
Starting All Over Again
Petula Clark & David Hadzis
Starting All Over Again
Recreating a dream we once knew
Going back to a time that has drifted away
It won't be that easy to do
Through the tears and the anger and pain
The illusions we had and then lost
All the questions that still go unanswered today
Were the lessons we learned worth the cost?
Well, I still believe
If we go where the Spirit leads
It will take us to
Just where we're supposed to be
It's a chance we must seize
Let's get up off our knees
Take a stand
We can make it happen hand in hand...
We'll be Starting All Over Again
With a dream that the whole world can share
Only this time we'll built it so safe and so strong
We will build with compassion and care
And our sorrow will not be in vain
Just as long as the dream stays alive
We will cherish it always and keep it from harm
We will make it our reason to strive
We will make it our reason for starting all over again
(Orchestra)
This could bring out the best in us all
Recognising the wrong from the right
This could be the beginning of something so fine
If we follow the Love and the Light
We'll be starting all over again
This time...
Starting All Over Again
