Perry Como

"Meditation (Meditação)"

"Meditation (Meditação)"


In my loneliness...
when you're gone and I'm all by myself,
an' I need your caress,
I just think of you, and the thought of you holding me near
makes my loneliness soon disappear...

Though you're far away,
I have only to close my eyes and you are back to stay,
I just close my eyes and the sadness missing you brings,
soon is gong and this heart of mine sings
yes, I love you so, and that for me is all I need to know...

I will wait for you,

'till the sun falls out of the sky, for what else can I do?
I will wait for you,
meditating how sweet life will be when you come back to me...

[instrumental break]

I will wait for you, meditating how sweet life will be when you come back to me...
Became these quiet nights of loving you!

(I will wait for you...) Come back to me...

"Mood Indigo"

"Mood Indigo"


You ain't been blue,
No, no, no . . .
You ain't been blue,
'Till you had that mood indigo . . .

That feelin' goes stealin'
Down to my shoes,
While I sit an' sigh,
Go 'long blues . . .

Always get the mood indigo,
Since my baby said goodbye . . .
In the evenin' when the lights are low,
I'm so lonesome, I could die!

'Cause there's nobody,

Who cares about me . . .
I'm just a fool,
Who's bluer than blue can be,
When I get that mood indigo,
I could lay me down an' die!

[instrumental break]

That feelin' goes stealin'
Down to my shoes,
While I sit an' sigh,
Go 'long blues . . .

"Moon River"

"Moon River"



Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style, some day,
Oh dream maker, you heart breaker,
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way,
Two drifters, off to see the world,
There's such a lot of world to see,
We're after the same rainbows end,
Waitin' ‘round the bend,
My Huckleberry friend,
Moon River, and me!

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style, some day . . .

Two drifters, off to see the world,
There's such a lot of world to see,
We're after the same rainbows end,
Waitin' ‘round the bend,
My Huckleberry friend,
Moon River, and me!

Moon River, and me . . .

"Moonglow & Theme From "Picnic""

"Moonglow & Theme From "Picnic""



On a picnic morning,
Without a warning,
I looked at you,
And somehow I knew . . .

It must have been moonglow,
Way up in the blue,
It must have been moonglow,
That led me straight to you . . .

I still hear you sayin'
Dear heart hold me fast,
And I start in prayin'
Oh lord, please let this last,
We . . . seem to float right through the air,

Heavenly songs seem to come from everywhere,
An' now when there's moonglow,
Way up in the blue,
I always remember,
That moonglow gave me you . . .

You and I in the sunshine,
We strolled the fields and far,
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere,
And now when there's moonglow
Way up in the blue,
I always remember,
That moonglow gave me you,
That moonglow gave me you,
That moonglow gave me you . . .

"More"

"More"



You're more than life to me
More than eternity
And the more I know of you
All the more I love you

I need you more each day
Much more than words can say
More than forever more
I'll be yours

The silver moon will fade too soon
And bring the dawn when you'll be gone
Before you go, please let me know
That what you feel is really real
So do not grieve but I must leave
Because live only for
Your love and mine more and more

You're more than life to me
More than eternity
And the more I know of you
All the more I love you

I need you more each day
Much more than words can say
More than forever more
I'll be yours

More and forever more
I'll be yours

"More Than Likely"

"More Than Likely"



More than likely you're leading me on,
More than likely I'll fall,
More than likely, I'll hear the music,
Where there's no music at all!

And, more than likely you'll ask for the stars,
And I'll reach for a few...

My heart tells me to run away,
But that's not so easy to do!
When it's more than likely I'm so in love,
And more than likely with you!

"More Than You Know"

"More Than You Know"



Whether you are here or yonder
Whether you are false or true
Whether you remain or wander
I'm growing fonder, of you!

Even though your friends forsake you
Even though you don't succeed
Wouldn't I be glad to take you
And give you the break you need!

More than you know, more than you know
Girl of my heart, I love you so
Lately I find, you're on my mind
More than you know!

Whether you're right
Whether you're wrong
Girl of my heart, I'll string along
I need you so, more than you'll ever know!

Loving you the way that I do
There's nothin' I can do about it
Loving may be all that you can give
But honey I can't live without it!

Hmmm... Oh, how I'd cry
Oh, how I'd cry
If you got tired and said goodbye
More than I'd show
More than you'd ever know!

"My Coloring Book"

"My Coloring Book"



If you admire coloring books,
And lots of people do,
I've a new one for you!
A most unusual coloring book,
The kind you never see,
Crayons ready, crayons set,
Begin to color me!

These are the eyes that watched her,
As she walked away,
Color them gray!

This is the heart,
That thought she would always be true,
Color it blue!

These are the arms that held her,

And touched her,
Then lost her somehow,
Color them empty now!

This is the tie, I wore,
Until you came between,
Color it green!

This is the room I sleep in, and walk in, and weep in,
And hide in, that nobody sees,
Color it lonely please!

This is the girl that once I depended upon,
Color her gone!

"My Favorite Things"

"My Favorite Things"



Raindrops on roses,
And whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles,
And warm woollen mittens,
Brown paper packages,
Tied up with strings,
These are a few of my favorite things...

Cream colored ponies,
An' crisp apple strudels,
Doorbells an' sleigh bells,
An' schnitzel with noodles,
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings,
These are a few of my favorite things...

Girls in white dresses,
With blue satin sashes,
Snow flakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,
Silver white winters,
That melt into springs,
These are a few of my favorite things...

When the dog bites,
When the bee stings,
When I'm feelin' sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad...

Roses....hmmm kittens...
Kettles.......mittens...
La dee da, la dee da,
La dee da, da,
These are a few of my favorite things...

When the dog bites,
When the bee stings,
When I'm feelin' sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And little by little my heavy heart sings...

And then I don't feel so bad...
