"Can't Take My Eyes Off You"

"Can't Take My Eyes Off You"



You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you

Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you

I love you baby and if it's quite all right
I need you baby to warm the lonely nights
I love you baby, trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby, now that I've found you stay
And let me love you baby, let me love you

You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you

I love you baby and if it's quite all right
I need you baby to warm the lonely nights
I love you baby, trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby, now that I've found you stay
Oh pretty baby, trust in me when I say

"Climb Ev'ry Mountain"

"Climb Ev'ry Mountain"



Climb every mountain,
Search high and low
Follow every byway
Every path you know

Climb every mountain
Ford every stream
Follow every rainbow
'Til you find your dream

A dream that will lead
all the love you can give
Every day of your life
For as long as you live

Climb every mountain
Ford every stream
Follow every rainbow
'Til you find your dream

A dream that will lead
All the love you can give
Every day of your life
For as long as you live

Climb every mountain
Ford every stream
Follow every rainbow
'Til you find your dream

"Come In From The Rain"

"Come In From The Rain"



Well, hello there
Good old friend
Of mine,
You've been reaching
For yourself
For such a long time

There's so much to say,
No need to explain,
Just an open door
For you
To come in from the rain

It's a long road
When you're on your own,
And a man like you
Will always choose
The long way home.
There's no right or wrong,
I'm not here to blame.
I just want to be the one
To keep you from the rain
From the rain

And it looks
Like sunny skies.
Now that I know
You're all right.

Time has left us
Older and wiser,
I know I am

And It's good to know
My best friend
Has come home again.
And 'causeI think of us
Like an old cliche,
But it doesn't matter
'cause I love you anyway
Come in from the rain
Come in from the rain
Come in from the rain

"Copacabana (At The Copa)"

"Copacabana (At The Copa)"



(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copa)
Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair
And her dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar
Across the crowded floor, they worked from eight til four
They were young, and they had each other
Who could ask for more?
At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa, she fell in love
His name was Rico, he wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancin' there
And when she finished, he called her over
But Rico went a bit too far, Tony sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew, and chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?
At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa, she lost her love
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copa)
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copa)
Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
But that was thirty years ago
When they used to have a show
Now it's the disco, but not for Lola
Still in the dress she used to wear, faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Now she's lost her mind!
At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa, don't fall in love
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copa, Copacabana)
Don't fall in love
Don't fall in love
Don't fall in love
Don't fall in love
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copa, Copacabana)
Don't fall in love
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copa, Copacabana)

"Cry Me A River"

"Cry Me A River"



Now you say you're lonely
You cry the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember, all that you said
You told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and

Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river...over you...

"Day By Day"

"Day By Day"



Day by day I'm falling more in love with you
And day by day my love seems to grow
There isn't any end to my devotion
It's deeper dear by far than any ocean

I find that day by day you're making all my dreams come true
So come what may I want you to know
I'm yours alone, and I'm in love to stay
As we go through the years day by day

"Diamonds Are Forever"

"Diamonds Are Forever"



Diamonds are forever,
They are all I need to please me,
They can stimulate and tease me,
They won't leave in the night,
I've no fear that they might desert me.

Diamonds are forever,
Hold one up and then caress it,
Touch it, stroke it and undress it,
I can see ev'ry part,
Nothing hides in the heart to hurt me.
I don't need love,
For what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me,
For when love's gone,
They'll lustre on.

Diamonds are forever,
Sparkling round my little finger.
Unlike men, the diamonds linger;
Men are mere mortals who
Are not worth going to your grave for.
I don't need love,
For what good will love do me?

Diamonds never lie to me,
For when love's gone,
They'll lustre on.
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever.
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever.
Forever and ever.

"Dio Come Ti Amo (Oh God How Much I Love You)"

"Dio Come Ti Amo (Oh God How Much I Love You)"



Remember, why must I remember?
Why can't I simply close my eyes, go to sleep
And make him disappear?
Why must I always hear?

Dio come ti-amo
Those were the words he said
Oh god, how much I love you
It still runs through my head

The wind began to blow
And all the leaves were flying
He stood there in the night
And tried to keep from crying

What could I have told him?
What could I say of you?
When love has lost its meaning
It's over, it's through

And so I hurried on
For someone new was waiting
To hold me in his arms
In endless celebrating

But that was long ago
And many loves have I
But only one was real
And that I let slip by

Dio come ti-amo
I still can hear him say
Oh god, how much I love you
Yet I walked away

I know it's much too late
But I'll go right on praying
To have you back again
So you can hear me saying

Dio come ti-amo
Oh god, how much I love you
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
I love you

"Dommage, Dommage"

"Dommage, Dommage"



Dommage, Dommage
Our love was once exciting
Now it's just a game we play.
Too bad, too bad
But nothing lasts forever
All at once
We lost our way.
Hello, goodbye
And suddenly it's over
And there's nothing we can do.
Dommage, Dommage
But may your next attempt at love
Come true

Hello, goodbye
And suddenly it's over
And there's nothing we can do.
Dommage Dommage
Too bad we couldn't
Make our dreams come true.

"Don't Cry For Me Argentina"

"Don't Cry For Me Argentina"



It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done

You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you

I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun

So I chose freedom
Running around trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world
They were all I desired

They are illusions
They're not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for me Argentina

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

Have I said too much?
There's nothing more
I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me
To know that every word is true
