"Wonderful One"

"Wonderful One"



Calling, calling dear
Loved one can't you hear?
Each throbbing part of my faithful heart,
Come to me, make all my sighs disappear.

Sweetheart, you must know
That I love you so.
Awake or sleeping, my heart's in your keeping,
and calling to you soft and low.

My wonderful one
Whenever I'm dreaming
Love's love light a-gleaming I see

My wonderful one
How my arms ache to hold here
To cuddle and fold near to me

Just you, only you
In the shadowy twilight
In silvery moonlight
There’s none like you
I adore you
My life I live for you
My wonderful, wonderful one

"Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams (And Dream Your Troubles Away)"

"Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams (And Dream Your Troubles Away)"



What price happiness? What price happiness?
Who can truthfully say?
But for every shall with tears we pay

Love is happiness. I’ve had happiness,
But it ended one day
Now I look at life a different way

When skies are cloudy and gray
They’re only gray for a day
So wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away

Until that sunshine peeps through
There’s only one thing to do
Wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away

Your castles may tumble, that’s fate, after all
Life’s really funny that way
No use to grumble, smile as they fall
Weren’t you king for a day?

Remember that sunshine
Always follows the rain
So wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away
Away, away, away
Away, away, away
Away

"Yellow Days"

"Yellow Days"



I remember when the sunlight had a special kind of brightness
And laughter held a lover's kind of lightness
Yellow days, yellow days

She would hold me and the smile would spread around us so completely
And the softness of a kiss would linger sweetly
Yellow days, yellow days

But then came thunder
And I heard her say "goodbye"
Through tears of wonder
Now I'm alone and my heart wants to know
Yellow days, where'd you go?

Life is empty and the sunlight seems so harsh instead of tender
And the laughter's just an echo I'll remember
Yellow days, yellow days

Now I'm alone and my heart wants to know
Yellow days, where'd you go?

Life is empty and the sunlight seems so harsh instead of tender
And the laughter's just an echo I'll remember
Yellow days, yellow days

"Yesterday I Heard The Rain"
(feat. Alejandro Sanz)

"Yesterday I Heard The Rain"
(feat. Alejandro Sanz)



Yesterday I heard the rain
Whispering your name
Asking where you’d gone

It fell softly from the clouds
On the silent crowds
As I wandered on

Out of doorways black umbrellas
Came to pursue me
Faceless people as they passed
Were looking through me
No one knew me

Yesterday I shut my eyes
Face up to the skies
Drinking in the rain

But your image still was there
Floating in the air
Brighter than a flame

Yesterday I saw a city
Full of shadows without pity
And I heard the steady rain
Whispering your name
Whispering your name

"Yesterdays"

"Yesterdays"



Yesterdays
Yesterdays
Days I knew as happy sweet
Sequestered days
Olden days
Golden days
Days of mad romance and love

Then gay youth was mine
Truth was mine
Joyous free in flame and life
Then sooth was mine
Sad am I
Glad am I
For today I'm dreamin' of
Yesterdays

"You Don't Know What Love Is"

"You Don't Know What Love Is"



You don't know what love is
Until you've learned the meaning of the blues
Until you've loved a love you've had to lose
You don't know what love is

You don't how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost
You don't know what love is

Do you know how a lost heart feels
The heart of reminiscing
And how lips that taste of tears

Lose their taste for kissing

You don't know how hearts break
For love that cannot live but never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is

You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know

You'll never know what love is

"You Go To My Head"

"You Go To My Head"



You go to my head and you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning 'round in my
brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew

And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two

The thrill of the thought that
you might give a thought to my plea
Cast a spell over me
Still I say to myself get a hold of
yourself
Can't you see that it never can be

You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature
rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julies
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain
that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
You go to my head

"You Showed Me The Way"

"You Showed Me The Way"



You showed me the way
You showed me the way
When I was someone in distress
A heart in search of happiness
You showed me the way
My sky was so grey
I never knew I'd feel a thrill
I couldn't dream a dream until
You showed me the way

The moment you found me
The shadows around me
Just disappeared from view
The world became rosy
Each corner so cosy
Darling, all because of you
You showed me the way
And if I've learned that love can be a paradise
For you and me
Here's all I can say
You showed me the way

"You Took Advantage Of Me"

"You Took Advantage Of Me"



I'm a sentimental sap, that's all
What's the use of trying not to fall?
I have no will, you've made your kill
'Cause you took advantage of me

I'm just like an apple on a bough
And you're gonna shake me down somehow
So what's the use, you've cooked my goose
'Cause you took advantage of me

I'm so hot and bothered that I don't know
My elbow from my ear
I suffer something awful each time you go
And much worse when you're near

Here am I with all my bridges burned
Just a babe in arms where you're concerned
Lock all the doors and call me yours
'Cause you took advantage of me

I'm so hot and bothered that I don't know
My elbow from my ear
I suffer something awful each time you go
And much worse when you're near

Here am I with all my bridges burned
Just a babe in arms where you're concerned
So lock all the doors and call me yours
'Cause you took advantage of me
