"All The Children"

"All The Children"

They tell us lies
They try to tell us who we are
But we have grown
And we remember in the future not to cry
You could be an angel
Look in your ancient eyes

What do you see?
Knowing what the power of your future could be
To fall and then to rise
It's knowing how it was and how that sets you free

All the children will send out
Love to everyone
All the children will dance and
Sing for you

Through the rhythm of ages
Blinded in the sun
All the children will dance

And sing for you

So let them talk
They won't be hiding any secrets from
The eyes of a child
Things can never be but what they are to you
You could be an angel
Make all your dreams come true

All the children will send out
Love to everyone
All the children will dance and
Sing for you

Through the rythm of ages
Blinded in the sun
All the children will dance

And sing you

Stand up
Freedom is for everyone to know
Tell them what your truth is when you play

Stand up
Freedom is the message in your song
In the light of what is swept away
There's someone there to catch you
When you fall

[Chorus: (Barbra's text in brackets)]
All the children will send out
Love to everyone
All the children will dance and
Sing for you (High above)

Through the rhythm of ages (See how they run)
Blinded in the sun (Got to be sure)
All the children will dance and (Watch how the shine)
Sing for you (This is love)

All the children will send out (Just like before)
Love to everyone (This is the place)
All the children will dance and (This is the time)
Sing for you (High above)

Through the rhythm of ages (See how they run)
Blinded in the sun (Got to be sure)
All the children will dance and (Watch how they shine)
Sing for you (This is love)
All the children will send out (Just like before)
Love to everyone (This is the place)
All the children will dance and (This is the time)
Sing for you (High above)

Through the rhythm of ages (See how they run)
Blinded in the sun (Got to be sure)
All the children will dance and (Watch how they shine)
Sing for you

[Barbra:]
High above
High above
This is love
High above
High above
High above
This is love
This is love
This is love...

[Fade]

"All The Things You Are"

"All The Things You Are"

Time and again I long for adventure
Something to make my heart beat the faster
What did I long for I never really knew
Finding your love I found my adventure
Touching your hand my heart beats the faster
All that I want in all of this world is...
You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink
Of a lovely song
You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I've known are what you are
Someday my happy arms will hold you
And someday I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine...
Dah-dah-dah...
Someday my happy arms will hold
And someday I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine...
Tuh-tuh-mmm-dah-dah-dah...

"Alone In The World"

"Alone In The World"

Tonight
Why not pretend
We're alone in the world
And that we're safe
From the storm out there
You'll be the only love
That I've known in the world
No clocks to measure
The time we share

Out there the winds
Are bitter cold
And there is too much pain
And far too little love
To few others who care

The here and now
Is all that we own in the world
And love's the refuge
That sees us through
Sleep inside my arms
Kiss the world away
Let tomorrow come
Let me face the day with you

The here and now
Is all that we own in the world
And love's the refuge
That sees us through
Sleep inside my arms
Kiss the world away
Let tomorrow come
Let me face the day with you

"Am I Blue?"

"Am I Blue?"

[Fanny:]
Am I blue
Am I blue
Ain't these tears in these eyes telling you
Am I blue
You'd be too if each plan with your man
Done fell through
There was a time, I was his only one
But now I'm the sad and lonely one
Lonely
Was I gay
Till today
Now he's gone and we're through
Am I blue
There was a time, I was his only one
But now I'm the sad and lonely one
Oh lonely
Was I gay
Till today
Now he's gone and we're through
Now he's gone and we're through
Oh god, did you hear that note
It was given to me by my friend Grace Moore on my birthday
Oy, was she glad to get rid of it
Through
I think I give it to her back, or her front
Am I blue
Oy, is this thing heavy

"Answer Me"

"Answer Me"

Do you wake up very slowly?
Does it take a while before you smile
Are your dreams like premonitions
Have you lived them through
Some people do
I hope you'll answer me with patient eyes
No hurried words, foolish or wise
Answer me, answer me with soft silent touches
They'll tell me as much as I need to know
Answer me with deep and restful sleeping
And if you dream in sleep
They're yours to keep
No you need not answer me
If we must part
Should someone ask
Who's touched your heart
Perhaps you'll answer me

"Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home"

"Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home"

Free an' easy,
That's my style,
Howdy do me,
Watch me smile,
But fare the well me after while,
'Cause I gotta roam
An' any place I hang my hat is home!
Sweetenin' water,
Cherry wine,
Thank you kindly,
Suits me fine,
Kansas City, even Caroline,
That's my honeycomb,
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home.
Birds roostin' in a tree pick up an' go,
An' the goin' proves that's how it oughta to be,
I pick up too when the spirit moves me.
Cross the river, round the bend,
Howdy stranger,
So long friend,
There's a voice in the lonesome win'
Keeps whisperin' roam!
I'm going where a welcome mat is,
No matter where that is,
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home.

"As Time Goes By"

"As Time Goes By"

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is still a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
Time goes by

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy and hate
Woman needs man, and man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy and hate
Woman needs man, and man must have his mate
Oh, no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
'Cause time goes by...

"Ask Yourself Why"

"Ask Yourself Why"

When you're just out walking and you pass
Little signs that say "keep off the grass"
Did you ever stop and ask yourself why?
Pretty playgrounds children used to know
Little squares where lovers love to go
Disappear so parking lots can grow
Why?
Once you start the questions never cease
What's disturbed when you disturb the peace
Pets and children are prohibited
Why? Ask yourself why?
And when you think about it
Bullets fly like popcorn on the screen
Recommended wholesome nice and clean
Making love's the thing that can't be seen
Why?
Let your hair down just an inch or two
Let your skin be red or green or blue
They invent a special name for you
Why?
On a clear day oh say can you see
What remains of mountain's scenery
Catch a glimpse of all the scenery... sky......
Beautiful sky ..as shiny as a penny
So when you're out walking and you pass
Near a sign that say "keep off the grass"
Put a sign right next to it that says "why?"

"At The Same Time"

"At The Same Time"

Think of all the hearts
beating in the world
at the same time
think of all the faces
and the stories they could tell
at the same time
think of all the eyes
looking out into this world
trying to make some sense of what we see
think of all the ways we have of seeing
think of all the ways there are of being
think of all the children
being born into this world
at the same time
feel your love surround them
through the years they'll need to grow
at the same time
just think of all the hands
that will be reaching for a dream
think of all the dreams that could come true
yes if the hands we're reaching with
could come together
joining me and you
when it comes to thinking of tomorrow
we must protect our fragile destiny
in this prescious life there's no time to borrow
the time has come to be a family
ohhh...
think of all the love
pouring from our hearts
at the same time
yes think of all the light our looks
can shine and grow this world
at the same time
at the same time
yes think what we've been givin
and yet think what we could lose
all of life is in our trembling hands
its time to overcome our fears
and join to build a world that loves and understands
it helps to think of all the hearts
beating in the world
and hope for all the hearts
healing in the world
they'res a healing music in our hearts
beating in this world
at the same time
at the same time

"Autumn"

"Autumn"

Autumn, it feels like Autumn
Although the breeze is still
I feel the chill of Autumn
Oh, yes, it's Autumn
It's always Autumn
However green the hill
To me it still is Autumn
I can feel the frost now
That makes my Spring and Summer dreams
Seem lost now
Why can't the Autumn haze
Recall the days of warm summer laughter?
That faded soon after in the Autumn
He left in Autumn
And though another season's here
I feel the emptiness of Autumn
All the year...
