"Lessons To Be Learned"

"Lessons To Be Learned"



They say
there's a universal plan
for every woman
for every man
I do believe
there's a higher power
but in our darkest hour
it's hard to understand
so we start to question
start to doubt
we lose faith in what life's all about
why did the right road
take the wrong turn
why did our heart break
why'd we get burned
just like the seasons
there are reasons
for the path we take
there are no mistakes
just lessons to be learned
don't give up
keep on looking deep inside
let your heartbeat
be your guide
cause there's a gift
for those who keep believing
you'll find what you've been needing
is right before your eyes
you'll hold the answer
in your hands
and then you'll know
you'll finally understand
why
why did the right road
take that wrong turn
why did our heart break
and why'd we get burned
just like the seasons
there are reasons
for the path we take
there are no mistakes
just lessons to be learned
no matter how many times
you stumble or fall
the greatest lesson
is loving yourself
through it all
why did the right road
take that wrong turn
why did our heart break
why'd we get burned
just like the seasons
there are reasons
for the path we take
there are no mistakes
just lessons
lessons
to be learned

"Let Me Go"

"Let Me Go"



Maybe I'll write you a letter
Maybe I'll give you a call
Maybe I'll drop you a line
When I'm feeling better
Maybe I won't after all
Somewhere a river is flowing
Rolling on into the sea
Somewhere a flower is growing
That don't mean anything to me
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go,
Don't give me the answer
'Cause I don't wanna know
Just let my heart go on beating
A little bit longer
I'm so young
I'm so young
Don't pull me up
When you think I'm falling
I've been waiting so long to fall
Don't come to me
When you think you hear me calling
It won't be me in that call
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Don't give me the answer
'Cause I don't want to know
Just let my heart go on beating
A little bit longer
I'm so young
I'm so young
I'm so young
I'm so young

"Let The Good Times Roll"

"Let The Good Times Roll"



It's not easy to be happy
Sometimes it's more comfortable to be sad
That's why I like this song
Mmm...
Come on baby
Let the good times roll
Come on baby
Let me thrill your soul
Mmm...
Came on baby
Let the good times roll.
Roll on and on
Come on baby
Let me hold you tight
Tell me everything is right tonight
Come on baby
Let the good times roll
Roll on and on
I feel so good
Mmm...
In your arms
Sugar baby
You're my good luck charms
Come on baby
Let the good times roll
Come on baby
Let me thrill your soul
Come on, come on, baby
Let the good times roll
Roll on and on
Come on baby while the thrill is on
Come on baby let us have some fun
Come on baby
Let the good times roll
Roll on and on
Come on baby let's close the door
Come on baby let us sweat some more
Come on baby
Let the good times roll
Roll on and on
You know I, you know I feel so good
And I'll let you hold
Come on baby
Rock me all night long
Come on baby
Let the good times roll
Come on baby
Let it thrill your soul
Come on baby
Let the good times roll
Roll on and on
Come on baby...

"Let's Hear It For Me"

"Let's Hear It For Me"


[Fanny & chorus:]
Blow the bugle
Sound the cymbal
All my troubles fill a thimble
I'm as happy as it's legal to be
Come on kids let's hear it for me
Get the tom tom
Start the drumming
Cue the chorus
Keep them humming
Cause I'm climbing of the limb of that tree
Come on kids let's hear it for me
For this overwhelming sensation
I could stand a standing ovation
Give my entrance queue to the band
Give the little lady a great big hand
Slide the trombone
Let it swell out
This performance is a sell out
And the critics and the public agree
I'm the number one attraction to see
So applaud it and cheer it
Come on now let's hear it for me

Standing in the wings
All prepared to start
Usually I'm tense
A pounding in my heart
But now I'm not afraid
Those butterfly's are gone
My act is looking great
I can't wait to go on, on
Grab a ticket
Find your row kid
I am strictly an SRO kid
Tell these ougly boubly feelings I'm free
They been banished by a royal decree
And your head feels so good when you finally clear it
If I saw a worry I wouldn't go near it
Come on now come on kid let's hear it
Let's hear it for me...

"Let's Hear It For Me (Unreleased Intro)"

"Let's Hear It For Me (Unreleased Intro)"



Well I'll be damned
No I won't be damned
Because I have been damned
And I won't be damned anymore!
I walked out
He didn't walk out
It was me who walked out
It was me closing the door

"Hello, Operator?" I'd like to place a long distance call to a Mr.
Billy Rose in Cleveland Ohio. At the Cleveland Hotel. Um, no, no, no,
no. I'll wait."

Billy's an alley cat that's for sure
Nick's from a horsier class
But I'd rather be with a cat's meow
Than a genuine thouroughbred horse's ass!

"Um, that's alright. No. No message. Thank you."

One is fantasy, one is real
One is make believe, one is real
One is picture book,
More like comic book
One is real
Billy is real
I should have seen that before

All my life on the stage
I'm a big success
All my life off the stage
What a mess!
Oh what a mess!
All my life on the stage
How they cheer the clown
All my life off the stage
I kept closing out of town

When I'm up there I'm a great big star
And I get the heftiest lift
Howdy-Do!
Up there I'm a great big star
A solid and qualified hit
I'm gonna take what I do up there
And I'm gonna do it down here!

Quick as a lightning flash
I'm moving straight ahead
I'm gonna be a smash
I'm gonna knock 'em dead.......

"Letters That Cross In The Mail"

"Letters That Cross In The Mail"



Last month
While thinking of love
I wrote him some words and mailed them away
But the next day
I found at my door a letter from Spain
He'd sent long before
And it's not read
I haven't heard from you in weeks
I must assume that you no longer care
Too bad that's it, goodbye
It's just amazing
How loving can fail
From letters that cross in the mail
A life, a love, a chance to win it all
Can pass you by, in the far gone seen
And you think you'll find your fate tomorrow night
And he finds somebody else in-between
I sat with swords in my heart
And pen in a hand I wrote
I'm glad that we're through
Full of hate I mailed it
But then in a week a letter arrived
With love did it speak
I loved the tender words you sent
It seems I wronged you please forgive me
I'll return by ship real soon
But I know now that he'll never sail
Our letters will cross in the mail
It's just amazing
How time brings a loss
And loving can fail
Like letters that cross in the mail...

"Letting Go"

"Letting Go"



A child that hides behind a chair
Almost afraid to grow
Without you there
Whisper words that make you see
What you've come to mean to me

A voice that rises from the heart
The hunger seizes me
And tears my soul apart
And serving only to renew
How I came to feel for you

Through your love I'd see forever
We became as one
I never saw you turn away
My love was blind
You call me when your storm is over
Crying over love that I can give you
When the night is colder
Holding on to me

'Cause it's so hard letting go
And it's so hard not to cry
With your face that lies
You memorize the reason why

And when the love is gone
Then one of us will know
It's so hard letting go

Foolish that I still believe
That love should never die
It makes me cry to witness where the story ends
All the lovers in the world
Will echo all the words
That I will leave you
When the night is lonely
Only goes to show

That it's so hard letting go
And it's so hard not to cry
And I kneel and pray for yesterday
When you were mine

And when the love is gone
Then one of us will know
It's so hard letting go.

"Lied: Auf Dem Wasser Zu Singen"

"Lied: Auf Dem Wasser Zu Singen"


Uber den Wipfeln des westlichen Haines
Winket uns freundlich der rotliche Schein;
Unter den Zweigen des ostlichen Haines
Sauselt der Kalmus im rotlichen Schein
Unter den Zweigen des ostlichen Haines
Sauselt der Kalmus im rotlichen Schein;

[Spoken]
Ach! They just don't write tunes like that anymore:
"Auf Dem Wasser zu Singen". It is really one of my
Favorites and I'm sure it's one of yours! In fact it it
So much fun to sing...Why don't you join in with me
For the last chorus and..er...you know, sing along with
Schubert?

[Singing]
Bis ich auf hoherem strahlendem Flugel
Selber entschwinde der wechselnden Zeit.
Sel...wonderful, wonderful..
Selber entschwinde der wechselnden Zeit...
Terrific!

"Life On Mars"

"Life On Mars"



It's a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mother is yelling "No"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
As she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
It's on Amerika's tortured brow

Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times before
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
Is there life on Mars?

"Life Story"

"Life Story"



Don't want to stay here
Not very nice
You boiled me over
Now you're cold as ice
From what you gave me
To what you made me
I should be homeward bound
Why am I hangin' round knowing
You're life story began with somebody else
Find your glory out there with somebody else
I'll be where you find me
I'll be somebody else
Somebody else
Dog in the manger
Teller of lies
I see a stranger laughing in your eyes
Though I don't know how
I'm in the way now
No matter what you do
I go on loving you knowing
Your life story began with somebody else
Find your glory out there with somebody else
I'll be where you find me
I'll be somebody else
Deeper than your valleys
Longer than your memory
I got to your story's end
Your life story began with somebody else
Find your glory out there with somebody else
I'll be where you find me
I'll be somebody else
Somebody else, Somebody else, Somebody else
Somebody else, Somebody else, Somebody else
I'll be somebody else... I'll be somebody else...
