"I'm Gonna Lock My Heart And Throw Away The Key"

"I'm Gonna Lock My Heart And Throw Away The Key"


I'm gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key
Cos I'm tired of all those
tricks you played on me
I'm gonna turn my back on love
Gonna mock the moon above
Seal all my windows up with tin
So that the love bug can't get in
Gonna park my romance right along the curb
Hang a sign upon my heart
"Please don't disturb"
And if I never fall in love again
That's soon enough for me
I'm gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key

And if I never fall in love again
That's soon enough for me
I'm gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key

"I'm Painting The Town Red"

"I'm Painting The Town Red"


A smile on my face
A song on my lips
Pretending is all I do
I'm painting the town red
To hide a heart that's blue

I'm gay with the crowd
I play with the crowd
But oh, if they only knew
I'm painting the town red
To hide a heart that's blue
Must I go on carrin' on?

My merry song is just pretend
Loving you so, wanting you so
Where will it end, how will it end?

A smile on my face
A song on my lips
But never forgetting you
I'm painting the town red
To hide a heart that's blue

"I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm"

"I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm"


The snow is snowin'
The wind is blowin'
But I can weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm
I've got my love to keep me warm

I can't remember
A worst December
Just watch those icicles form
What do I care if icicles form
I've got my love to keep me warm

Off with my overcoat
Off with my gloves
I need no overcoat
I'm burning with love
My heart's on fire
The flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm
I've got my love to keep me warm

[bridge]

My heart's on fire
The flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm
I've got my love to keep me warm

"If Dreams Come True"

"If Dreams Come True"


If dreams come true
I'll be with you
I love that smile in your eyes
You see a dream in the skies
In your caress there is happiness
And love in view
If dreams come true

"If The Moon Turns Green"

"If The Moon Turns Green"


If the moon turns green
And shadows get up and walk around
Clouds come tumbling to the ground
I wouldn't be surprised
As didn't you fall in love with me

If the stars turn blue
And willows that weep began to sing
Winter changes into spring
I wouldn't raise my eyes
'Cause didn't you fall in love with me

I thought I was foolish to think of romance
With someone as charming as you
I thought I was hoping without any chance
Then every hope came true

If the moon turns green
And rivers began to flow upstream
This is all a crazy dream
I wouldn't be surprised
Anything can happen
If you can fall in love with me

I thought I was foolish to think of romance
With someone as charming as you
I thought I was hoping without any chance
Then every hope came true

If the moon turns green
And rivers began to flow upstream
This is all a crazy dream
I wouldn't be surprised
'Cause anything can happen
If you can fall in love with me

"If You Were Mine"

"If You Were Mine"


If you were mine
I could be a ruler of kings
And if you were mine
I could do such wonderful things
I'd say to the stars
"Stop where you are
Light up my lover's way"
And every star above you would obey

If you were mine
I would live for your love alone
To kneel at your shrine
I would give up all that I own
Yes, even my heart
Even my life
I'd trade it all for you
And think I was lucky too
If you were mine

"Ill Wind"

"Ill Wind"


Blow,
Ill wind blow away
Let me rest today
You're blowing me no good
No good

Go
Ill wind go away
Skies are oh so gray
Around my neighborhood
And that's no good

You're only misleading
The sunshine I'm needing
Ain't that a shame
It's so hard to keep up
With troubles that creep up
From out of nowhere
When love's to blame

So
Ill wind blow away
Let me rest today
You're blowing me no good
No good
No good

You're only misleading
The sunshine I'm needing
Ain't that a shame
It's so hard to keep up
With troubles that creep up
From out of nowhere
When love's to blame

So
Ill wind go away
Let me rest today
You're blowing me no good
No good

Ill wind

"Isn't This A Lovely Day?"

"Isn't This A Lovely Day?"


The weather is frightening
The thunder and lighting
Seem to having their way
But as far as I'm concerned it's a lovely day

The change in the weather
Will keep us together
So as far as I'm concerned it's a lovely day
And every thing's OK

Isn't it a lovely day to be caught in the rain
You were going on your way now you have to remain

Just as you were leaving me (out to) (at) sea
The clouds broke and Oh what a break for me

I can see the sun up high though we're caught in a storm
I can see where you and I could be cozy and warm

Let the rain pitter-patter
cause it really doesn't matter
If skies are gray
Long as I can be you it's a lovely day

"It Had To Be You"

"It Had To Be You"


It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around and finally found, that somebody
Who could make me be true
Could make me be blue
And even be glad just to be sad, thinking of you

Some others I've seen might never be mean,
Might never be cross, or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do

For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you

It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around and finally found, that somebody
Who could make me be true
Could make me be blue
And even be glad just to be sad, thinking of you

Some others I've seen might never be mean,
Might never be cross, or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do

For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you

"It's Easy To Blame The Weather"

"It's Easy To Blame The Weather"


Honestly I'm glad it's snowing
It helps to keep our friends from knowing
When they ask me why I'm sad
It's easy to blame the weather

It's funny how the blinding snow flakes
Are right in time to hide my heartache
Let them ask me why I'm sad
It's easy to blame the weather

When I think of the sun
It scares me
I wonder if I will pass
And springtime, I hear
Is early this year
They'll see through me like glass

I see no reason for this weather
So let me be the first to make up
If a reason must be had
It's easy to blame the weather
