"My Melancholy Baby"

"My Melancholy Baby"



Why do you grieve?
Try and believe
Life is always sunshine
When the heart beats true
Banish your fears
Smile through your tears
When you're sad
It makes me feel the same as you...
Come to me my melancholy baby
Cuddle up and don't be blue
All your fears are foolish fancy, maybe
You know, dear, that I'm in love with you...
Every cloud must have a silver lining
Wait until the sun shines through
Come on and smile, my honey dear,
While I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too...

"My Name Is Barbra"

"My Name Is Barbra"



My mother said
That babies come in bottles
But last week she said
They grew on special babies bushes
I don't believe in the storks either
They're all in the zoo
Busy with their own babies
And what's a baby bush anyway?
My name is Barbra...

"My Pa"

"My Pa"



My Pa can light my room at night
By just his being near
And make a fear for dream all right
By grinning ear to ear
My Pa can do most anything
He sets his mind to do
He'd even move a mountain
If he really wanted to
My Pa can sweeten up a day
That clouds and rain make gray
And tell me funny stories
That will chase the clouds away
My Pa's the only one on Earth
I can tell my troubles to
His arms are house and home to me
His face's a pretty poem to me
My Pa's the finest friend I ever knew
I only wish that you
Could know him too...

"Natural Sounds"

"Natural Sounds"



My heart would make
Natural sounds
With you my love
The happy sound
Of water on stone
The quiet sound
Of waves on sand
When you hold my hand
My heart makes
Natural sounds
With you...
My head makes
Natural noises too
My love
the worrying sound of bees in the comb
the rushing sound of wind in the trees
When we kiss
And more than this I know
My heart would make
Natural sounds
If ever you should go
the hollow sound of stones dropped in a well
The lonely sound
Of rain in the night
Natural sounds
My heart makes
Natural sounds
With you...

"Never Give Up"

"Never Give Up"



I'm a mine of information
I'm a stranger to the cause
I been watchin' you watchin' me babe
But the words I had are lost
Just wanna go down to be found
Wanna rise up in your flat
I wanna be everything you need babe
And I'm begging you to say in my heart
A room with a view
There's only a fool there
I will never give up , never give up , never give up
I will never give up , never give up , never give up
I will follow you home
How can you turn me away
Did you ever get hungry or thirsty
With a dream to satisfy
You don't wanna be safe from being lonely
But you're throat is kinda dry
Did you ever get senseless or defenseless
An exception to the rule
Ain't nobody pushin' you but you're rushin' in
And I'm beggin' you to stay in my heart
Whatever it takes to make you belong there
I will never give up , never give up , never give up
I will never give up , never give up , never give up
Love knows no other way
Being together and hearing you say you'll be mine
You're my world
And I'll be forever yours
Did you ever get hungry or thirsty
With a dream to satisfy
You don't wanna be safe from bein' lonely
But you're throat is kinda dry
Did you ever get senseless or defenseless
An exception to the rule
Ain't nobody pushin you but you're rushin' in
And I'm beggin' you to stay in my heart
A room with a view
There's only a fool there
I will never give up , never give up , never give up
I will never give up , never give up , never give up
I will follow you home
How can you turn me away
I will never give up , never give up , never give up
I will never give up , never give up , never give up
I will follow you home
How can you turn me away

"Never Will I Merry"

"Never Will I Merry"



Never, never will I marry,
Never, never will I wed.
Born to wander solitary,
Wide my world, narrow my bed.
Never, never, never will I marry,
Born to wander 'til I'm dead.
No burdens to bear, no conscience nor care,
No mem'ries to mourn, no turning on,
For I was born to wander solitary,
Wide my world, oh, narrow my bed
Never, never, never, never will I marry,
Born to wander till I'm dead.

"New York State Of Mind"

"New York State Of Mind"



Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood
But I'm takin' a Greyhound
On the Hudson River line
I'm in a New York state of mind
Seen all those movie stars
And their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies, under the evergreens
But I know what I'm needin'
And I don't wanna waste more time
I'm in a New York state of mind
It was so easy livin' day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times and the Daily News
Comes down to reality
And it's fine with me cause I've let it slide
I don't care if it's Chinatown or up on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind
I don't have any reasons
Cause left them all behind
I'm in a New York, I'm in a New York state of mind...

On the hudson river line
I'm in a New York state of mind

It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
Oh with the rhythm and blues

And it's fine with me cause I've let it slide
I don't care if it's chinatown or up on riverside
I don't have any reasons
Cause left them all behind
We are a New York, we're in a New York state of mind
In a New York state of mind

It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
With the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take

I'm in a New York state of
We're in a New York state of mind

Billy, let's go get some pizza
Let's go get chinese
Even better

"Niagara"

"Niagara"



You look at me, so differently
Have I changed so much from who I used to be?
We're both to wise, for alibis
We talk, but there's so much that we don't say
I guess I've gotten used to it this way
But in Niagara, you promised me the moon
And when I fell I couldn't tell it happened all to soon
Up in Niagara, we were foolish then
Make it happen again
You hold my hand, to please my friends
But when they leave the music stops, the love song ends
And even though I'm reaching out
It feels as though there's nothing coming in
And maybe this is how we've always been
But in Niagara, you took me by surprise
I knew you heard my every word, just looking in my eyes
But in Niagara, we were crazy then
Make me crazy again

Up in Niagara, we were crazy then
Make me crazy again...

"Nice 'N' Easy"

"Nice 'N' Easy"



Let's take it nice 'n'easy,
It's gonna be so easy
For us to fall in love.
Hey, baby what's your hurry?
Relax and don't you worry,
We're gonna fall in love.

We're on the road to romance
That's safe to say;
But let's make all the stops
Along the way.

The problem now, of course, is
To simply hold your horses,
To rush would be a crime
'Cause nice 'n' easy does it ev'ry time!

Sit back and let it happen,
No need to race,
I think it's all
Just fallin' into place.
So let's start getting' cozy,
The future's lookin' rosy
Those bells are bound to chime,
'Cause nice 'n' easy does it ev'ry time.
