"I Got Plenty Of Nothin'"

"I Got Plenty Of Nothin'"



I got no lock on my door, that's the way to be
They can steal the rug from my floor
That's okay with me, 'cause the things that I prize
Like the stars in the skies they're all free
Oh, I got plenty of nothin', and nothin's plenty for me
I got no car, I got no mule, I got no misery!
The folks with plenty of plenty
They got a lock on their door
Afraid somebody is agoin' to rub'em
While they're out there makin' more
What for?
I got no lock on my door
That's the way to be
They can steal the rug from my floor
That's okay with me'cause the things that I prize,
Like the stars in the skies, are all free
So, I got plenty of nothin', and nothin's plenty for me
I got the sun, I got the moon, I got the deep blue sea
The folks with plenty of plenty
Oh, they got to pray all the day, hey!
Seems with plenty, you sure got to worry
How to keep the devil away
Keep them away
Oh, I'm never afraid about hell, till my time arrives
Never worry, never worry, long as I'm well
Never one to strive to be good, to be bad
What the hell, I'm just glad I'm alive!
Oh, I got plenty of nothin', and nothin is plenty for me
Got my man, got my love, and I... I got my song!

"I Got Rhythm"

"I Got Rhythm"


I got rhythm
I got music
I got my man

[Speaking]
You play real good!
How old are you? Eight?
...I was eight once...
For a whole year!
Then I went on to the big time...
Nine...Ten...

[Singing]
I got daisies in green pastures
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more
All man trouble, I don't mind him
You won't find him
Round and round and round my door
I got starlight
I got sweet dream
I got my man
Who can ask for anything more
I got rhythm
I got music
I got my man

"I Had Myself A True Love"

"I Had Myself A True Love"



I had myself a true love
A true love who was something to see
I had myself a true love
At least that's what I kept on telling me
The first thing in the morning
I still try to think of a way to be with him
Some part of the evening
And that's the way I live through the day

I had myself a true love, but now he's gone
And left me for good
The Lord knows I've done heard those back yard
Whispers going 'round the neighborhood
There maybe a lot of things I miss
A lot of things I don't know
But I do know this, now I ain't got no love
And once upon a time I had a true love
In the evening, in the doorway
While I stand there and wait for his coming
With the house swept and the clothes hung,
In a pot on the stove there's a hot meal
Where is he while I waste the rising newel?
Where is he? Why'd he gone so soon?
Now there ain't no way that it used to be, what now?
And everybody keeps telling me
There are may be a lot of things I miss
A lot of things I don't know
But I do know this now...
I ain't got no love
And once upon a time I had a true love.

"I Have A Love / One Hand, One Heart"
(feat. Johnny Mathis)

"I Have A Love / One Hand, One Heart"
(feat. Johnny Mathis)



[From "West Side Story"]

[Johnny Mathis:]
I have a love and it's all that I have
Right or wrong, what else can I do?

[Barbra:]
I love him; I'm his,
And ev'rything he is
I am too...

[Johnny Mathis:]
I am too...

[Barbra:]
I have a love and it's all that I need.
Right or wrong, and he needs me too.

[Johnny Mathis:]
I love her, we're one,

[Barbra:]
I love him,

[Johnny Mathis:]
There's nothing to be done.

[Barbra:]
Nothing to be done.

[Johnny Mathis:]
Not a thing I can do,

[Barbra:]
But hold him,

[Johnny Mathis:]
But hold her,
Hold her forever,

[Both:]
Be with her now--

[Johnny Mathis:]
Tomorrow
And all of my life...

[Barbra:]
I have a love and it's all that I need...

Make of our hands one hand,
Make of our hearts one heart,
Make of our vows one last vow,
Only death will part...
Us now.

[Johnny Mathis:]
Make of our lives one life,

[Both:]
Day after day one life.
Now it begins, now we start
One hand, one heart;
Even death won't part...

[Barbra:]
Us now...

[Johnny Mathis:]
Make of our lives one life,

[Both:]
Day after day one life.

[Johnny Mathis:]
Now it begins,

[Barbra:]
Now it begins,

[Johnny Mathis:]
Now we start

[Barbra:]
Now we start

[Johnny Mathis:]
One hand,

[Barbra:]
One hand,

[Johnny Mathis:]
One heart;

[Barbra:]
One heart;

[Both:]
Even death won't part us now.

When love comes so strong,
There is no right or wrong,
Your love is,
Your love is,
Your love is,
Your life!

"I Have Dreamed / We Kiss In A Shadow / Something Wonderful"

"I Have Dreamed / We Kiss In A Shadow / Something Wonderful"



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

I have dreamed
That your arms
Are lovely...
I have dreamed
What a joy you'll be...
I have dreamed
Every word you whisper

We speak in a whisper
When you're close
Close to me.

Afraid to be heard...
Alone in our secret
Together we sigh
For one smiling day
To be free...

How you look
In the glow of evening

To kiss in the sunlight

I have dreamed
And enjoyed the view

And say to the sky

In these dreams
I've loved you so
That by now I think I know
What it's like to be loved by you

Behold and believe

I will love
Being loved by you

Behold how my lover loves me...

He will not always say
What you would have him say
But now and then he'll say
Something wonderful
The thoughtless things he'll do
Will hurt and worry you
Then all at once he'll do
Something wonderful
He has a thousand dreams
That won't come true
You know that he believes in them
And that's enough for you.
You'll always go along
Defend him when he's wrong
And tell him, when he's strong
He is Wonderful
He'll always need your love
And so he'll get your love-
A man who needs your love
Can be Wonderful!

"I Loves You Porgy / Porgy I's Your Woman Now (Bess, You Is My Woman)"

"I Loves You Porgy / Porgy I's Your Woman Now (Bess, You Is My Woman)"



I loves you Porgy
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
And drive me mad
If you can keep me,
I wants to stay here
With you forever and I'd be glad
I loves you Porgy
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
With his hot hand
If you can keep me,
I wants to stay here
With you forever
I got my man
Someday, I know he's comin' back
To call me...
He's gonna handle me and hold me so
It's gonna be like dyin', Porgy,
Deep inside me,
But when he calls I know I have to go
Porgy, I's your woman now
I is, I is...
And I ain't never goin' nowhere
'Less you shares the fun
Want no wrinkle on your brow,
No how
Because the sorrow of the past is all
Done, done
My Porgy,
Now the real happiness is just begun
There's no wrinkle on my brow
No how
And I ain't goin'
You hear me saying, if you ain't goin',
With you I'm stayin'

Porgy, I's yo' woman now,
I's yours forever...
Mornin' time and evenin' time
And summer time and winter time
Mmm...
Oh my Porgy...
My man Porgy...
From this minute I'm tellin' you,
I keep this vow...
Porgy, I's yo' woman now!

"I Mean To Shine"

"I Mean To Shine"



Here comes another dawn
For every child to see
This time the morning sun
Is burning just for me
I've got the skyward eyes
Like I've never had before
Just smile and say goodbye
Show me to the door
For every one there comes a precious time
To break away
I mean to shine
Oh, I mean to shine
As I look at all the morning sun
I know I mean to shine
This day I realized
The world I knew is gone
New seasons come and change
The crown that stood upon
I've been afraid to feel
And scared of falling free
You said so I'm real
It seemed so clear to me
For everyone who breathes
There comes a time to fly away
I mean to shine
0h, I mean to shine
As I look at all the morning sun
I know I mean to shine
For everyone who breathes
There comes a time
To break away
I mean to shine
Oh, I mean to shine
As I look at all morning sun
I know I mean to shine.

"I Never Had It So Good"

"I Never Had It So Good"



I never had much money
I never won a race
My jokes don't end that funny
And I had door slammed on my face
But I think you've charmed me
I always hoped that someone would
I never had a love like this before
No...I never had it so good
I'm not the type that's trusted
Always tripping over logs
And often I've been busted
And chased by friendly dogs
But I think you've charmed me
I always hoped that someone would
I never had a love like this before
No...I never had it so good
Hmm...Hmm...Hmm...
But I think you've charmed me
I always hoped that someone would
I never had a love like this before
No...I never had it so good

"I Never Has Seen Snow"

"I Never Has Seen Snow"



I done lost my ugly spare
I am cheerful now got the warmth all over
To smother my worried brow
Oh the girl I use to be
She ain't me no more
I closed the door on the girl I was before
Feeling fine and full of bliss
What I really wanna say is this
I never has seen snow
All the same I know
Snow ain't so beautiful
Can't be so beautiful
Like my love is
Like my love is
Nothing do compare
Nothing any where with my love
A hundred things I see
A twilight sky that tree
But none so beautiful
Not one so beautiful
Like my love is
Like my love is
Once you see his face
None can take the place of my love
A stone rolled of my heart
When I laid my eyes on that
Near of me boy with that far away look
And right from the start I saw a new horizon
And a road to take me where I wanted to be took
Needed to be took
Needed to be took
Oh!
I never have seen snow
All the same I know
Nothing will ever be
Nothing can ever be
Beautiful as my love is
Like my love is to me
Nothing is as beautiful
To me

"I Never Meant To Hurt You"

"I Never Meant To Hurt You"



I never meant to hurt you
I'm not that way at all
Please believe the words of the heart
A heart that seems so small
And I swear I never meant to hurt you
I guess I lost my place
Please, believe the wards of the heart
A heart that hides its fails
Why do I do things
I never mean to do?
Oh, why did I speak so carelessly
When all that I felt
Was love for you?
And I swear I never
I never meant to hurt you
I've got to make you know
Please, believe the words of the heart
A heart that didn't show
I never meant to hurt you
I only meant to love you
It's true
And when I saw you crying
I cried too...
