"There's So Many"

"There's So Many"


There's so many dreams to dream of
Why not dream about my true love?
And even though I can't be with her
I still have my fantasy
Fantasy world

There's so many risks to take
And if I lose my heart will break
I think I might take a chance on love again
Oh on love again
Love again

I wonder
Why has it taken so long
I wonder
If you know where you belong

Your face up in the sky
Where angels fly
In heaven's eye
Where planets are spinning around

There's so many songs to sing
I'm thankful for the love they bring
Don't let old scars keep us apart
We're gonna mend our broken hearts
Starting tonight

I wonder
If you know where you belong
I wonder
Why has it taken so long

To get you in my arms
To feel my love that is so strong
Where planets are spinning around
Planets are spinning around

"They Can't Take That Away From Me"
(originally by Fred Astaire)



The way you wear your hat (the way you wear your hat)
The way you sip your tea (the way you sip your tea)
The memory of all that (the memory of all that)
No no, they can't take that away from me

The way your smile just beats (the way your smile just beats)
The way you sing off key (the way you sing off key)
The way you haunt my dreams (the way you haunt my dreams)
No no, they can't take that away from me

We may never, never meet again
On this bumpy road to love
Still I'll always always keep that memory of

The way you hold your knife (the way you hold your knife)
The way we danced till three (the way we danced till three)
The way you changed my life (the way you changed my life)
No no, they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from me

Wop bop bop, wop bop bi da di da di
Wop bop bop, wop bop bi da di da di
Wop bop bop, wop bop bi da di da di

Wop bop bop, wop bop bi da di da di
Wop bop bop, wop bop bi da di da di
Wop bop bop, wop bop bi da di da di

We may never, never meet again
On this bumpy road to love
Still I'll always always keep that memory of

The way you hold your knife (the way you hold your knife)
The way we danced till three (the way we danced till three)
The way you changed my life (the way you changed my life)
No no, they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from me

Woah (wop bop bop, wop bop bi da di da di)
Woah (wop bop bop, wop bop bi da di da di)
Woah (wop bop bop, wop bop bi da di da di)
Woah (wop bop bop, wop bop bi da di da di)
Woah (wop bop bop, wop bop bi da di da di)

"This Beautiful Day"

"This Beautiful Day"


Life goes on and on
Like your favorite song
What we feel inside
On this wayward drive
If we could find a way
If you would only stay
If we could hold on to this feeling
And this beautiful day

"This Isn't Love"

"This Isn't Love"


This isn't love, this is ecstasy
Somehow I knew you would come to me
I've just been waiting for you to come
Into my life this way
Now here you'll stay

This isn't love, this is destiny
Somewhere above this was planned for me
Life had no meaning, I never knew what
Til the dream came true
The dream is you

I never say never
But this love won't ever be over
Together we'll share love wherever we go

This isn't chance, this was meant to be
I knew I'd find you eventually
Nothing else matters, As long as I know
You will always be so close to me

I never say never
But this love won't ever be over
Together we'll share love wherever we go

This isn't chance
This was meant to be
I knew I'd find you eventually

Nothing else matters
As long as I know
You will always be so close to me

I never say never
I never say never
I never say never
I never say never
I never say never

"This Song Wants To Sleep With You Tonight"

"This Song Wants To Sleep With You Tonight"


The tired day is gone
The hotel lights are on
There's stillness in the night, the city's sleeping.

As you lie there in your bed
A tune stays in your head
This sleepy lullaby comes softly creepin'.

Since I can't be there tonight
To hold and squeeze you tight
Oh baby...

This song wants to sleep with you
This song wants to sleep with you
This song's gonna sleep with you tonight

The melody comes near
And whispers in your ear
Through the misty nights some distant train goes reelin'.

If I could be anywhere
I'd wish that I was there
And if you should hear 'I love you' that's me singin'.

This song's a little blue
'Cause songs get lonely too
Whoa baby...

This song wants to sleep with you
This song wants to sleep with you
This song's gonna sleep with you tonight

Soft serenade, gives you soul sweet dreams
Pull down the shade, nothing's wrong
(can't you feel it, can't you feel it)
Guardian angels watch, over you at night
That's really me, and my song, and my soul

The telephone wires hiss
To bring someone a kiss
This melancholy tune is softly fadin'.

Sweet dreams keep coming on
Deep into the dawn
Oh baby...

This song wants to sleep with you
This song wants to sleep with you
This song's gonna sleep with you tonight

This sleepy lullaby comes softly creepin'
This melancholy tune is softly fadin'
Oh, whoa oh...

(This song's gonna sleep with you, this song's gonna sleep with you)

"This Town Goes Down At Sunset"

"This Town Goes Down At Sunset"


This town goes down at sunset
When the hills start turning red
The streets roll up at eight o'clock
Everybody goes off to bed
Everybody goes off to bed

There's someone callin' someone names
You can hear a screen door slam
A car goes skatin' down the road
Everybody gets out of bed
Everybody gets out of bed

You took the key to my heart's door
And you set off on your own
I shook it off as a passing phase
Everybody must come back home
Everybody must come back home

This town gets up at daybreak
When the hills start turnin' blue
A whistle blows a rooster crows
Everybody's got things to do
Everybody's got things to do

"This Whole World"
(originally by The Beach Boys)

"This Whole World"
(originally by The Beach Boys)



I'm thinking about a-this whole world
Late at night I think about the love of this whole world
Lots of different people everywhere
And when I go anywhere I see love I see love I see lo-oh oh oh

When girls get mad at boys and go
Many times they're just putting on a show
But when they leave you wait alone

You are there like everywhere like everyone you see
Happy cause you're living and you're free

Now here comes another day for your love
(I'm thinking about this whole world)
(A-this whole world)
Your love

Woo oo oo oo ooo ooo oo oo
(Woo oo oo oo ooo ooo oo oo)

Aummmmm wooo wooooo bop didit

Late at night I think about the love of this whole world
Oomm dot dit it
Oomm dot dit it
Oomm

"Vega-Tables"
(originally by The Beach Boys)



I'm gonna be round my vegetables
I'm gonna chow down my vegetables
I love you most of all
My favorite vege-table

If you brought a big brown bag of them home
I'd jump up and down and hope you'd toss me a carrot

I'm gonna keep well my vegetables
Cart off and sell my vegetables
I love you most of all
My favorite vege-table

Oh oh taba vega vegel

I tried to kick the ball but my tenny flew right off
I'm red as a beet 'cause I'm so embarrassed

Sleep a lot eat a lot brush em like crazy
Run a lot do a lot never be lazy
Sleep a lot eat a lot brush em like crazy
Run a lot do a lot never be lazy

Oh oh dum do dum de dooby do
Oh oh dum do dum de dooby do
Oh oh dum do dum de dooby do
Oh yeah
Oh badumday oh dum do dum de dooby do
Oh badumday oh dum do dum de dooby do

I throw away my candy bar and I ate the wrapper
And when they told me what I did I burst into laughter

I know that you'll feel better
When you send us in
Your letter an'
Tell us the name of your
Your favorite vege-table

"Venice Beach (Narrative)"

"Venice Beach (Narrative)"


Venice Beach is poppin'
Like live shrimp dropped on a hot walk
Hucksters, hustlers and hawkers
Set up their boardwalk shops
Home for all the homeless, hopeless
Well-heeled and deranged
Still, nothing here seems out of place or strange
There's an old smudge of a beatnik by the bay
Looking like a dog who's had his day
Like a dream he drifts away
He likes to go out on the pier
To hear the reedy carousel
It's got a melody that sets you free
And says, "Let's set a spell
Just to hear the heartbeat in L.A."
