"Mother And Child"

"Mother And Child"


[Mother:]
For a little face, that's the biggest yawn
Look at teddy bear yawning too
All those animals sleeping in your bed
Do you really think there'll be room for you?
Time to tuck you in, warm and cozy-like
Are you comfortable little lamb?
Such a sleepy smile you must surely know
All the lovely things you'll be dreaming of
Swinging tree top high, sliding belly down
Eating jelly beans to your heart's delight
In a fairy tale in a wonderland through the night...

[Child:]
I hope that she forgets and leaves my door open
So I can have a little light from the hallway
If I can hear them talking, If I can hear them laughing
I know I won't be frightened, maybe
At night I know that's just my chair, the nice red one
But it looks different than it looks in the daytime
Sometimes I think it's moving, a big enormous monster
A dinosaur or dragon maybe
I close my eyes and there are ghosts and witches
I'm scared a wicked witch will eat me
Oh, how I wish it wasn't always dark at night...

[Both sing same parts, dueting]

"Much More"

"Much More"



I'd like to swim
In a clear blue stream
Where the water is icy cold
Then go to town
In a golden gown
And have my fortune told
Just once, just once
Just once before I am old
I'd like to be not evil
But a little wordly wise
To be the kind of girl designed
To be kissed upon the eyes
I'd like to dance till two o'clock
Or maybe dance till dawn
Or if the band could stand it
Just go on and on and on
Just once, just once
Before the chance is gone
I'd like to waste a week or two
And never do a chore
To wear my hair unfastened
So it billows to the floor
To do the things
I've dreamed about
But never done before
Perhaps I'm bad or wild or mad
With lots of grief in store
But I want much more
Than keepin' house
Much more, much more, much more!

"My Coloring Book"

"My Coloring Book"



For those who fancy coloring books
As certain people do
Here's a new one for you
A most unusual coloring book
The kind you never see
Crayons ready, very well
Begin to color me
These are the eyes that watched him
As he walked away
Color them gray
This is the heart that thought
He would always be true
Color it blue
These are the arms that held him
And touched him then lost him somehow
Color them empty now
These are the beads I wore
Until she came between
Color them green
This is the room I sleep in
Walk in and weep in
Hide in that nobody sees
Color it lonely, please
This is the man
The one I depended upon
Color him gone...

"My Father's Song"

"My Father's Song"



Whatever you are you're goin' to be
Whatever you are is all right with me
You're gonna be what you want anyway
These are the words I heard my father say
When I was a young girl
And shy of men
He said when you're ready
You'll know just when
And when I was taken and thrown away
There wasn't a reason to face the day
And so he said:

Whatever you are you're goin' to be
Whatever you are is all right with me
You're gonna be what you want anyway
These are the words I heard my father say

My father's song is clear and easy
And though he's gone he lives in my heart
When I go wrong I swear he sees me
And he smiles for a star, and he says:

Wherever you are I'm here by your side
My life is a rope that won't come untied
Oh, I'm gonna stand by you right or wrong
These are the words within my father's song
Uh..Oh...Ah...Mmm...Uh!
These are the words within my father's song

"My Favorite Things"
(feat. From The Sound Of Music)

"My Favorite Things"
(feat. From The Sound Of Music)



Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleighbells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snow flakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
Like sliver white winters that melt into springs
And then I don't feel so bad!

"My Funny Valentine"

"My Funny Valentine"



Be hold the way our fine feathered friend
His virtue doth parade
Thou knowest not my dim witted friend
The picture Thou hast made
Thy vacant brow and Thy tousled hair
Conceal Thy good intent
Thou noble upright, truthful, sincere
And slightly dopey gent
You're my funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favorite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day!

"My Heart Belongs To Me"

"My Heart Belongs To Me"


I got the feelin' the feelin's gone
My heart has gone to sleep
One of these mornings I'll be gone
My heart belongs to me
Can we believe in fairy tales?
Can love survive when all else fails?
Can't hide the feelin' the feelin' s gone
My heart belongs to me
But now my love, hey didn't I love you
But we knew what had to be
Some how my love I'll always love you
But my heart belongs to me
Put out the light and close your eyes
Come lie beside me, don't ask why
Can't hide the feelin' the feelin's gone
My heart belongs to me

[Chorus:]
But now my love, hey didn't I love you
Didn't I love you, didn't I love you, didn't I love you, baby!
Don't cry my love, I'll always love you
But my heart belongs to me
I got the feelin' the feelin's gone
My heart belongs to me...
I got the feelin' the feelin's gone
My heart belongs to me...

[Chorus:]
Didn't I love you, didn't I love you

"My Honey's Loving Arms"

"My Honey's Loving Arms"


I love your loving arms
They hold a world of charms
A place to nestle
When I am lonely
A cozy morris chair
What kind of chair
Is a morris chair?
One caress, happiness,
Seems to bless my little honey
I love him more each day
When years have passed away
He'll find my love
Belongs to him only!
'Cause when the world seems wrong
He'll know that I belong
Right in my honey's loving arms
[One more time!]
I love him more each day
When years have passed away
He'll find my love
Belongs to him only!
'Cause when the world seems wrong
He will know that I belong
Right in my honey's loving arms
I said my honey 's loving
I mean my honey's loving arms,
I mean my honey's loving...
Arms!

"My Lord And Master"

"My Lord And Master"



He is pleased with me!
My Lord and Master
Declares that he's pleased with me-
What does he mean?
What does he know of me,
This lord and master?
When he has looked at me,
What has he seen?
Something young
Soft and slim,
Painted cheek,
Tap'ring limb,
Smiling lips
All for him,
Eyes that shine
Just for him-
So he thinks...
Just for him!
Though the man may be
My Lord and Master,
Though he may study me
As hard as he can,
The smile beneath my smile
He'll never see
He'll never know
I love another man
He'll never know
I love another man.

"My Man"
(feat. From Funny Girl)

"My Man"
(feat. From Funny Girl)



Oh, my man, I love him so, he'll never know
All my life is just despair, but I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, all right...
What's the difference if I say I'll go away
When I know I'll come back on my knee someday
For whatever my man is, I am his forever more
It cost me a lot,
But there's one thing that I've got, it's my man
Cold and wet tired, you bet,
But all that I soon forget with my man
He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books is my man
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me, but I love him...
Oh, my man, I love him so, he'll never know
All my life is just despair, but I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, all right...
What's the difference if I say I'll go away
When I know I'll come back on my knee someday
For whatever my man is, I am his forever more...
