"We Kiss In A Shadow"
(originally by The King And I)

"We Kiss In A Shadow"
(originally by The King And I)

We kiss in a shadow
We hide from the moon
Our meetings are few
And over too soon

We speak in a whisper
Afraid to be heard
When people are near
We speak not a word

Alone in our secret
Together we sigh
For one smiling day to be free
To kiss in the sunlight
And say to the sky
Behold and believe what you see
Behold how my lover loves me

Alone in our secret
Together we sigh
For one
One smiling day to be free
To kiss in the sunlight
And say to the sky
Behold and believe what you see
Behold how my lover
Behold how my lover
Behold how my lover loves me

"What A Surprise"

"What A Surprise"

Do do do do do do do do, what a surprise
Do do do do do do do do, what a surprise
Ooh Ooh Ooh, what a surprise

She stood there looking like she didn't care
Looking right through me like I wasn't there
Could've bowled me over when I realized
She was cooking me breakfast what a surprise

What a surprise baby, oh what a night
Looking real good, she was moving just right
I can't begin to describe all the charms
I held in my arms what a surprise

OOHH, OOHH, she didn't say nothing, not a word
OOHH, OOHH, I knew she was telling me something
Had to go back for a second helping

Out of the blue and right into my heart
I'm telling you, you can't keep us apart
Lights up the sky like the stars in the night
Who would have thunk it what a surprise

What a surprise baby, oh what a night
Looking real good she was moving just right
Lights up the sky like the stars in the sky
Who would have thunk it what a surprise

"What Am I Gonna Do"

"What Am I Gonna Do"

What am I gonna do when the sun goes down
And all the lights are low?
What am I gonna do when I recall
The love we used to know?

I remember
The happiness we knew
Darling, can't we make up soon?
Cause I don't know what I'm gonna do

What am I gonna do on Wednesday night
When I used to call you on the phone?
What am I gonna say at the Record Hop
When I show up alone?
They'll all ask me
What's become of you
Darling, can't we make up soon?
Cause I don't know what I'm gonna do

At the movies
Or at the football game
Please believe me
Nothing's gonna be the same

So what am I gonna do on Saturday night
When everything goes wrong?
How am I gonna feel when the radio
Plays our favourite song?
I'm so lonely
Just like Mr. Blue
Darling, can't we make up soon?
Cause I don't know what I'm gonna do
I don't know what I'm gonna do
I don't know what I'm gonna do

"What Have They Done To The Moon"

"What Have They Done To The Moon"

What have they done to stardust and moon-dreams?
They took the jar and emptied the moonbeams.
That world of fantasy just stopped and ceased to be
The day they traveled to the stars.
They wrecked the dreams you weave,
Next thing they'll have you believe
There ain't no life on Mars.

They left the field but they took the clover,
They stopped the cow from jumpin' over.
They went too far this time,
What they did was just a crime,
They're gonna have to find a new rhyme for June.
They took away the fun,
What have they done to the moon?

Da da da da da da da da da,
Da da da da da da da da da,
Da da da da da.
Da da da da da da da da da,
Da da da da da da da da da,
Da da da da da.

They went too far this time,
What they did was just a crime,
They're gonna have to find a new rhyme for June.
They took away the fun,
What have they done to the moon?

Da da da da da da da da da,
Da da da da da da da da da,
Da da da da da...

"When You Were Lovin' Me"

"When You Were Lovin' Me"

I've watched you growin' up
While we have grown apart.
Happy birthday from the bottom of my heart.
We're deep in darkness
That stirs a memory
Of happier moments
When you were lovin' me.

When you were lovin' me,
When you were lovin' me,
You taught me to feel
But you couldn't help me see,
A time would come when I'd wanna forget when you were lovin' me.

Like dust collectin'
In a corner of the room
I sit expectin'
That I'll see you very soon.
I should have known better
It's never gonna be,
Gone are the good times
When you were lovin' me.

You put dancin' in my life babe,
And a glitter in my eye.
I was young and I was troubled,
But you helped me to get by.
You put laces on my shoes babe,
Hot cakes on my menu.
I can't help but think about you,
Back when you were lovin' me.

When you were lovin' me,
When you were lovin' me,
You taught me to feel
But you couldn't help me see,
A time would come when I'd wanna forget when you were lovin' me.

You put dancin' in my life babe,
And a glitter in my eye.
I was young and I was troubled,
But you helped me to get by.
You put laces on my shoes babe,
Hot cakes on my menu.
I can't help but think about you,
Back when you were lovin' me.

"Where The Toys Are"

"Where The Toys Are"

Where the toys are
That's where dad will be
Without a clue or what to do
He still insists on building stuff for me

Where the toys are
Who knows what I'll see
A wobbly bite, a flightless kite
To games that still need batteries

In a box with a million pieces
Are instructions he won't read
And he never lets me help him
No matter how I plead

Till I'm older I'll wait so nervously
Where the toys are
Where the toys are
Where the toys are
That's where dad will be

In a box with a million pieces
Are instructions he won't read
And he never lets me help him
No matter how I plead

Till I'm older I'll wait so nervously
Where the toys are
Where the toys are
Where the toys are
That's where dad will be

That's where dad will be
That's where dad will be
Oh no, that's where dad will be

I know he's trying
That's where dad will be
Doesn't look good
That's where dad will be
Oh no, oh no, oh no

"Wish I Was A Carousel"

"Wish I Was A Carousel"

Wish I was a carousel,
I would weave a magic spell,
Givin' everyone a golden ring,
Makin' all the children laugh and sing.

I would up and I would down,
I'd be a merry merry-go-round.
You could have some happy times on me,
Everybody come and ride for free.

When you're feelin' blue,
I'll reserve a bright red pony for you.
When your skies are grey,
I'll be your dancin' umbrella and brighten your day.

I'm so tired of myself,
Wish that I was someone else,
Someone who could weave a magic spell, well,
I wish that I could be a carousel.

La la la la la, yeah,
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la la la la la.
La la la la la, hey, la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la.
La la la la la, yeah, la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la

"You"

"You"

You put a smile upon my face
When there was nothing left but sorrow
You showed me how to live again
And I'm so grateful for your love.

I bless the day you came to me
For God has sent me down an angel

And you have turned the tide
And made the world seem bright.
You and you alone
Have turned the dark to light.
You're my everything
No one can make me feel the way you do,
There can be no one,
No one but you.

All of my lonely days are gone
You gave me strength when I was falling
I pray we never say goodbye
I can't go on without your love.

I know there might be troubled times,
But we can work it out together

And you have turned the tide
And made the world seem bright.
You and you alone
Have turned the dark to light.
You're my everything
No one can make me feel the way you do,
There can be no one
No one but you.

I know there might be troubled times,
But we can work it out together

'Cause you have turned the tide
And made the world seem bright.
You and you alone
Have turned the dark to light.
You're my everything
No one can make me feel the way you do,
There can be no one
No one but you.

And when our life on Earth is over,
And all our worldly things are through,
I know we still will be together
Forever more, just me and you.

"You Can Hear The Love"

"You Can Hear The Love"

Like the summer wind that whispers in the dark
Let the song ignite the spark and you can hear the love
Hush of evening and the rustling of the leaves
The murmur as a baby breathes and you can hear the love

Her body moves just like a symphony she needs you
To be the one who's harmony will guide her
And let her know she's getting through
And you can hear the love
Sometimes it sounds just like a never ending choir
She puts your words to music's sweet desire
And whenever she is near, you can hear the love
(Don't you know that you can feel it, touch it, always hear the love)

Tender touches to the rhythm of the night
Written down in candle light beneath the stars above
Sweetly woven in a perfect applique
Listen to the music play and you can hear the love

Her body moves just like a symphony she needs you
To be the one who's harmony will guide her
And let her know she's getting through
And you can hear the love
Sometimes it sounds just like a never ending choir
She puts your words to music's sweet desire
And whenever she is near, you can hear the love
(Don't you know that you can feel it, touch it, always hear the love)

Her body moves just like a symphony she needs you
To be the one who's harmony will guide her
And let her know she's getting through
And you can hear the love
Sometimes it sounds just like a never ending choir
She puts your words to music's sweet desire
And whenever she is near, you can hear the love
(Don't you know that you can feel it, touch it, always hear the love)

"You Gotta Learn Your Rhythm And Blues"

"You Gotta Learn Your Rhythm And Blues"

The board of education from Maine to Tenessee
Just don't dig that crazy ABC
You know they teach us something different and they call it R & B

You gotta learn your rhythm and blues
Everybody's shoutin' the news
Go out and buy a pair of rock and roll shoes
Or brother you're gonna lose
The time is incidental, the fun is fundemental
When you learn your rhythm and blues

No more readin' and writin' and 'rythmetic
You got to know the three R's when the teacher swings the hickory stick
Start a-reelin' and a-rockin' and a-rollin' with your chick

You gotta learn your rhythm and blues
Everybody's shoutin' the news
Go out and buy a pair of rock and roll shoes
Or brother you're gonna lose
The time is incidental, the fun is fundemental
When you learn your rhythm and blues

When the teacher gives us homework everyone shouts hooray, hooray
I got to go right home and study without delay
I got to tune into Bandstand and get the lesson for today

You gotta learn your rhythm and blues
Everybody's shoutin' the news
Go out and buy a pair of rock and roll shoes
Or brother you're gonna lose
The time is incidental, the fun is fundemental
When you learn your rhythm and blues

You gotta learn your rhythm and blues
Everybody's shoutin' the news
Go out and buy a pair of rock and roll shoes
Or brother you're gonna lose
The time is incidental, the fun is fundemental
When you learn your rythm and blues
