"Venice Blue"

"Venice Blue"


I saw Venice turn blue
Before my very eyes
I saw Venice turn blue
The moment love died.

I walked by the canal
Or through some little square
And echoes of her words
Pursue me everywhere.

Now my Venice is blue
As the mandolins play
The song she used to sing
Before love slipped away.

With the lovers hand in hand
The gondolas go by
I wish that I could weep
But all my tears are dry.

I see Venice all blue
Before my misty eyes
I see Venice all blue
Because our love has died.

My aimless footsteps stop
Before an old café
Or by some little shop
Where she would often stray.

I see Venice all blue
Beneath the rising moon
And still I look for her
Beside the wide lagoon.

And then I try to smile
And hope I can forget
The laughter that we shared
The shining day we met.

Two pigeons in the square
I now say my goodbyes
Goodbye my vanished dream
Goodbye oh Bridge of Sighs.

I've seen Venice turn blue
And too lonely to bear
For she...
Forgot to care.

"Was There A Call For Me"

"Was There A Call For Me"


Was there a call for me
I had to talk to someone
Waiting for days is driving me crazy
Was there a call for me

When lovers disagree
All of your dreams come undone
I am not denying, it got me crying
Was there a call for me

My lips are growing cold
My two arms long to hold
And thanks to you my story is told

By the way, once again I'm saying, "Was there a call for me"
Unfriendly clouds give warning
Here comes the dawning, cold rainy morning
Was there a call from me

Here comes the dawning, cold rainy morning
Was there a cold for me
Filled with the mist of tears I've resist
Tell me, was there a call for me

"Wear My Ring"

"Wear My Ring"


Wear my ring on your finger
Wear my love within your heart
And say you'll always be as much in love with me
As at the start

Oh yes, wear my ring on your finger
And make this solemn vow
That you will always be as much in love with me
As you are now

And when we're old and we're gray
We will still have this day
To remember when December comes in May

(Won't you) wear my ring on your finger
Proving that love is ours to share
You're mine to have and hold
Just like this ring of gold you wear

"What A Difference A Day Makes"

"What A Difference A Day Makes"


What a difference a day made
Twenty-four little hour
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain

My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I'm part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine

What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss

It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you

What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss

It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you

"What Can I Say After I'm Sorry"

"What Can I Say After I'm Sorry"


What can I say, dear, after I say I'm sorry?
What can I do to prove it to you I'm sorry?
I didn't mean to ever be mean to you
If I didn't care, I wouldn't feel like I do

I was all wrong, but right or wrong, I don't blame you
Why should I take somebody like you and shame you?
I know that I made you cry and I'm so sorry, dear
So what can I say, dear, after I say I'm sorry?

Let's give it to the ensemble
Aah, play that single finger style
Two, three

What can I say, dear, after I say I'm sorry?
Tell me what I can do to prove it to you, I'm sorry
I didn't mean to ever be mean to you
If I didn't care, I wouldn't feel like I do, do, do, do

Aah, I was all wrong, but right or wrong, I don't blame you
Why should I take somebody like you and put the shame to you?
I know that I made you cry and I'm ever so sorry, dear
For what can I say, dear, after I say
What can I say, dear, after I say
What can I say, dear, after I say I'm sorry?

"What'd I Say"
(originally by Ray Charles)

"What'd I Say"
(originally by Ray Charles)



You must have been a beautiful baby
You must have been a wonderful child
When you were only starting to go to kindergarten
I bet you drove the little boys wild.
And when it came to winning blue ribbons
You must have shown the other kids how.
I can see the judges' eyes as they handed you the prize
You must have made the cutest bow.
You must've been a beautiful baby
Cause baby look at you now.

Does your mother realize
The stork delivered quite a prize
The day he left you on the family tree?
Does your dad appreciate
That you're merely super great
The miracle of any century?
If they don't just send them both to me.

You must have been a beautiful baby
You must have been a wonderful child.
When you were only starting to go to kindergarten
I bet you drove the little boys wild.
And when it came to winning blue ribbons
You must have shown the other kids how.
I can see the judges' eyes as they handed you the prize
You must have made the cutest bow.
You must've been a beautiful baby
Cause baby look at you now.

"When Day Is Done"

"When Day Is Done"


When day is done
The shadows fall
I dream of you
When day is done
I think of all the joys we knew

That yearning, returning
To hold you in my arms
Won't go love
I know love
Without you night has lost its charms

When day is done
An' grass is wet with twilight's dew
My lonely heart is sinking with the sun
Although I miss your tender kiss
The whole day through
I miss you most of all
When day is done

When day's all done
An' grass is wet with twilight's dew
My lonely heart is sinking with the sun
Although I miss your tender kiss
The whole day through
I miss you most of all
When day is done

"When I Look In Your Eyes"

"When I Look In Your Eyes"


When I look in your eyes
I see the wisdom of the world in your eyes
I see the sadness of a thousand goodbyes
When I look in your eyes.

And it is no surprise
To see the softness of the moon in your eyes
The gentle sparkle of the stars in the skies
When I look in your eyes.

In your eyes I see the deepness of the sea
I see the deepness of the love
The love I feel you feel for me.

Autumn comes, summer dies
I see the passing of the years in your eyes
And when we part they'll be no tears, no goodbyes
I'll just look into your eyes.

Those eyes...
So wise, so warm, so real
How I love the world your eyes reveal.

"Who Can I Turn To?"

"Who Can I Turn To?"


Who can I turn to
When nobody needs me?
My heart wants to know
And so I must go
Where destiny leads me.

With no star to guide me
And no one beside me
I'll go on my way
And after the day
The darkness will hide me.

And maybe tomorrow
I'll find what I'm after
I'll throw off my sorrow
Beg, steal or borrow
My share of laughter.

With you I could learn to
With you on a new day
But who can I turn to
If you turn away?

With you I could learn to
With you on a new day
But who can I turn to
If you turn away...

"You Just Don't Know"

"You Just Don't Know"


You just don't know, little girl
How much I love you
You just don't know
The way I feel inside

I love you so, little girl
I just can't tell you
You are my life
You're my love
You're my pride

Before you came
My life was just routine
You taught me
What a love could mean

You hurt me so, little girl
If you should leave me
I need you so, little girl
You just don't know

Sing it to me sweetly now

You hurt me so, little girl
If you should leave me
I need you so, little girl
You just don't know
