"The End Of The World"

"The End Of The World"



Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world,
'Cause you don't love me anymore?

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love.

I wake up in the morning and I wonder
why everything's the same as it was.

I can't understand, no I can't understand,
how life goes on the way it Does!

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said good-bye.

"The Little Drummer Boy"

"The Little Drummer Boy"



Come, they told me (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)
A new-born King to see (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)
Our finest gifts we bring (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)
To lay before the King (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum)
So to honor Him (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)
When we come.

Baby Gesu (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)
I am a poor boy, too (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)
I have no gift to bring (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)
That's fit to give a King (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum)
Shall I play for you (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)
On my drum?

Mary nodded (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)
The ox and lamb kept time (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)
I played my drum for Him (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)
I played my best for Him (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum)
Then, He smiled at me (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)
Me and my drum...

"The Wayward Wind"
(originally by Gogi Grant)



Oh, the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind

In a lonely shack by a railroad track
He spent his younger days
And I guess the sound of the outward-bound
Made him a slave to his wandering ways

And the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind

Oh, I met him there in a border town
He vowed we'd never part
Though he tried his best to settle down
I'm now alone with a broken heart

And the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind

Oh, the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind

"There Goes My Everything"

"There Goes My Everything"



(There goes my everything)

I hear footsteps slowly walkin',
As they gently walk across a lonely floor.
And a voice is softly sayin',
"Darling, this will be goodbye forever more."

There goes my reason for livin'.
There goes the one of my dreams.
There goes my only possesion.
There goes my everything.

As my mem'ry turns back the pages,
I can see the happy years we had before.
Now the love that kept this ol' heart beatin',
Has been shattered by the closin' of the door.

There goes my reason for livin'.
There goes the one of my dreams.
There goes my only possesion.
There goes my everything.

There goes my reason for livin'.
There goes the one of my dreams.
There goes my only possesion.
There goes my everything.

There goes my only possesion.
There goes my everything...

"There's Always A Goodbye"

"There's Always A Goodbye"


Ever since that first night
When I gave my love to you
Everything just seems so right
You are my sunlight shining through
And I've tried so not to let it show
Yet it seems sad because I know.

[Chorus:]
No matter how hard I try
No matter how hard I try
It's always a goodbye.

You smile softly as you leave my bed
And I tightly hold your hand
You lean down to kiss my head
But there's nothing to be said
And if you say you want to stay
I'd know you'd soon be on your way.

[Chorus:]
No matter how hard we try
No matter how hard we try
It's always a goodbye.

[Chorus:]
No matter how hard we try
No matter how hard we try
It's always a goodbye.

So here we stand, you and I
You are too kind, I'm too shy
To say what we really mean
So we make life a masquerade
Never showing all, only the parts we play.

[Chorus:]
No matter how hard we try
No matter how hard we try
It's always a goodbye...

"Things"
(originally by Bobby Darin)

"Things"
(originally by Bobby Darin)



Every night I sit here by my window
Staring at the lonely avenue
Watching lovers holding hands and laughing
And thinking 'bout the things we used to do.

[Chorus:]
(Thinking of things)
Like a walk in the park
(Things) like a kiss in the dark
(Things) like a sailboat ride
What about the night we cried.

Things like a lovers vow, things that we don't do now
Thinking 'bout the things we used to do
Memories are all I have to cling to
And heartaches are the friends I'm talking to.

When I'm not thinking of
Just how much I love you
Well, I'm thinking bout the
Things we used to do.

[Chorus:]
(Thinking of things)
Like a walk in the park
(Things) like a kiss in the dark
(Things) like a sailboat ride
What about the night we cried.

Things like a lovers vow, things that we don't do now
Thinking bout the things we used to do.
Still can hear the jukebox softly playing
And the face I see it still belongs to you.

Now there's not a single sound,
There's nobody else around
Well, it's just me thinking 'bout
The things we used to do.

[Chorus:]
(Thinking of things)
Like a walk in the park
(Things) like a kiss in the dark
(Things) like a sailboat ride
What about the night we cried.

Things like a lovers vow, things that we don't do now
Thinking bout the things we used to do
And heartaches are the friends I'm talking to
Got me thinking 'bout the things we used to do.

Staring at the lonely avenue

"Thirsty Boots"

"Thirsty Boots"



You've long been on the open road you've been sleepin' in the rain
From dirty words and muddy cells your clothes are soiled and stained
But the dirty words and the mud of cells will soon be judged insane
So only stop and rest yourself and you'll be off again

Oh take off your thirsty boots
And stay for awhile
Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh
And maybe I can try
Lookin' for the evenin'
And the mornin' in your eyes

Then tell me of the ones you saw
As far as you could see
Across the plains from field to town
Marchin' to be free
And of the rusted prison gates that tumble by degree
Like laughing children one by one
They look like you and me

So take off your thirsty boots and stay for awhile
Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh and maybe I can try
Just lookin' for the evenin' and the mornin' in your eyes

I know you are no stranger down the crooked rainbow trial
From dancing cliff edge shattered sills to slander shackled jails
Where the voices drift up from below as walls are bein' scaled
Yes all of this and more my friend your song shall not be failed

Oh take off your thirsty boots and stay for awhile
Your feet are hot and weary, from a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh, and maybe I can try
Just lookin for the evenin' and the mornin' in your eyes

So take off your thirsty boots and stay for awhile
Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh and maybe I can try
Lookin' for the evenin' and the mornin' in your eyes

"This Season Will Never Grow Old"

"This Season Will Never Grow Old"



Christmas is coming, I can tell by the smiles
I remember the snowflakes that fell from the sky
And covered the village that lay sleeping below
Thank goodness this season will never grow old.

I look through my window well into the night
Watching and waiting and hoping I might
See one little reindeer fly through the snow
Thank goodness this season will never grow old.

Christmas is coming, may joy fill your home
And the spirit be with you wherever you go.
Christmas is coming, may joy fill your home
And the spirit be with you wherever you go.

Trees with full branches were the first ones to go
I remember the children who came to the door
And sang out the carols we all used to know
Thank goodness this season will never grow old.

All round the fire, the warmth of the flame
Tip-toeing softly trying not to awake
The ones who lie waiting for good things you know
Thank goodness this season will never grow old.

Christmas is coming, may joy fill your home
And the spirit be with you wherever you go...

"Time Don't Run Out On Me"

"Time Don't Run Out On Me"



Time, don't run out on me
Gotta make you love me the way you used to do
Gotta get back the feeling and put wind in my sails
And chart a course that gets me back to you, back to you.

Oh, the lonely days, the lonely nights lookin' back in time
Time, don't run out on me.
I've gotta get back to where we used to be (where we used to be)
Time, don't run out on me, don't run out on me.

There's one more thing I gotta do before I pack it in
Gotta make the right moves,
Say the right thing to change your mind
And find a way to get you back again, back again.

All the wasted time, the lonely nights lookin' back in time
Time, don't run out on me.
I've gotta get back to where we used to be (where we used to be)
Time, don't run out on me.

Once I could catch your eye across the room
And know just what you were thinkin'
And when I held you in my arms, we'd dream as one
But those days are gone, somethin' went wrong
And when I wake up to the mornin' sun I find myself sayin'.

Time, don't run out on me,
don't run out on me,
don't run out on me.
Time, don't run out on me.
Time, don't run out on me.

I've gotta get back to where we used to be (where we used to be)
Time, don't run out on me (time don't run out on me.)
(Time, don't run out on me.)
(Time, don't run out on me.)
(Time, don't run out on me...)

"True Love"

"True Love"



Sometimes wind blows
a new moon moves at last alone
feeling far above her
oh how lucky we are

While I give to you
would you give to me
true love, true love
So on and on it will always be
true love, true love

For you and I have a guardian angel
on high with nothing to do
but to give to you and to give to me
love forever true

For you and I have a guardian angel
on high with nothing to do
but to give you and to give to me
love forever true
love forever true
