"Now You're Gone"

"Now You're Gone"


I woke up this mornin' feelin'
Just as though my head were reelin'
Reelin' from a dream I had last night

Then I turned and faced your pillow
Wept just like the weepin' willow
Seems like the dream I had was right

You were gone
And the love I was givin' is
And the reason for livin' is
But the memory of your love lives on

Til the day that heaven calls me
No arms'll ever hold me
My love and happiness are gone

I sit here just thinkin' 'bout you
Wonderin' how I'll live without you
Tryin' to figure out what I did wrong

But I guess it doesn't matter
If you found-a someone better
I'll be here when that someone is gone

Yes, you're gone
And the love I was givin' is
And the reason for livin' is
But the memory of your love lives on

Til the day that heaven calls me
No arms'll ever hold me
My love and happiness are gone

Til the day that heaven calls me
No arms'll ever hold me
My love and happiness are gone

My love and happiness are gone
My love and happiness are gone

"Oh! Look At Me Now"

"Oh! Look At Me Now"


I'm not the guy who cared about love
And I'm not the guy who cared about fortunes and such
I never cared much
Oh, look at me now!

I never knew the technique of kissing
I never knew the thrill I could get from your touch
I never knew much
Oh, look at me now!

I'm a new man better than casanova at his best
With a new heart and a brand new start
Why I'm so proud I'm bustin' my vest

So I'm the guy who turned out a lover
Yes I'm the guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Oh, look at me now!

I'm not the guy who cared about love
And I'm not the guy who cared about fortunes and such
I never cared much
Oh, look at me now!

And I never knew the technique of kissing
I never knew the thrill I could get form your touch
I never knew much
Oh, look at me now!

I'm a new man better than casanova at his very best
With a new heart and a brand new start
I'm so proud I'm bustin' my vest

So I'm the guy who turned out a lover
Yes I'm the guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Oh, look at me now!
Look at me now!

"On Broadway"

"On Broadway"


They say the neon lights are bright
On Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
But when you're walkin' down that street
And you ain't got enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere
They say the chicks are somethin' else
On Broadway
But lookin' at them just gives me the blues
'Cause how ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes
They say that I won't last too long
On Broadway
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home they all say
But they're dead wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit till I'm a star
On Broadway
But they're dead wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit till I'm a star
On Broadway
On Broadway
I'm gonna make it, yeah
On Broadway
I'll be a big, big man
On Broadway
I'll have my name in lights
On Broadway
Everybody gonna know me
On Broadway
All up and down Broadway
On Broadway

"On The Street Where You Live"

"On The Street Where You Live"


I have often walked
Down the street before,
But the pavement always
Stayed beneath my feet before.
All at once am I
Several stories high,
Knowing I'm on the street where you live.

Are there lilac trees
In the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour
Out of every door?
No, it's just on the street where you live.

And oh, the towering feeling
Just to know somehow you are near
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear.

People stop and stare
They don't bother me,
For there's no where else on earth
That I would rather be.

Let the time go by,
I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live.

[Interlude]

People stop and stare
They don't bother me,
For there's no where else on earth
That I would rather be.

Let the time go by
I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live,
Let me be on the street where you live.

"Once In A Lifetime"

"Once In A Lifetime"


Just once in a lifetime
A man knows a moment
One wonderful moment
When fate takes his hand

And this is my moment
My once in a lifetime
When I can explore
A new and exciting land

For once in my lifetime
I feel like a giant
I soar like an eagle
As tho' I had wings

For this is my moment
My destiny calls me
And tho' it may be
Just once in my lifetime
I'm going to do great things

"Once Upon A Time"

"Once Upon A Time"


Once upon a time
A girl with moonlight in her eyes
Put her hand in mine,
And said she loved me so...
But that was once upon a time...
Very long ago

Once upon a hill
We sat beneath a willow tree
Counting all the stars
And waiting for the dawn
But that was once upon a time,
Now the tree is gone

How the breeze ruffled through her hair
How we always laughed
As though tomorrow wasn't there...
We were young
And didn't have a care
Where did it go?

Once upon a time
the world was sweeter than we knew
Everything was ours
How happy we were then
But somehow once upon a time
Never comes again...

"Only One Little Item"

"Only One Little Item"


I'm here in a crowd, so noisy and loud
And suddenly there isn't a sound
'Cause she just walked in with her funny little grin
Now there's nobody else around

She's everything I told you
And much more as well
There's only one little item
That I forget to tell

She's everything I ever wanted
Everything I'll ever need
There's only one little item
To which I must conceive

When she nears me, how she cheers me
Her eyes, so warm and so gay
But what can all this matter to me
Those eyes aren't looking my way

She's everything I told you
I swear by stars above
There's only one little item
I'm not the guy she wants

"Oo-Ee-Train"

"Oo-Ee-Train"


Ooh ooh wee
Come on train carry me home
Ooh ooh wee
Come on train carry me home
I been too busy makin' money
To remember that my honey's alone.

Ooh ooh wee
Wheels won't you play me your sound
Ooh ooh wee
Wheels won't you play me your sound
I gotta get to my lover
So wheels you better cover ground.

Make the all aboard sound
Let the whistle scream
Let the lineman stoke
Till it runs out of steam.

Ooh ooh wee
Will my baby still remember my name?
If she's with somebody else
I only got myself to blame.

Ooh ooh wee
Come on train carry me home
Ooh ooh wee
Come on train carry me home
I been too busy makin' money
To remember that my honey's alone.

Ooh ooh wee...
Come on train have mercy on me...

"Pete Kelly's Blues"

"Pete Kelly's Blues"


There are sad things
There are bad things, the blues
When they threaten
Start betting you'll lose

You hide yourself behind a prayer
The blues'll come and they'll find you there
I mean the blues, they call Pete Kelly's Blues

There's no exit
You can try the blues
If you're born with,
You will die with the blues
Think what you choose
That happy dream is yours they say
If you can pay the dues
That's why I'm stuck with,
Fresh outta luck with the blues

There's no exit
None you can try with the blues
See if you're born with,
You gotta die with the blues
Think what you choose
That happy dream is yours they say
If you can pay the dues
That's why I'm stuck with,
So outta luck wit the blues

Some call em Pete Kelly's Blues
You can em anything you choose
I call them blues

"Pity Miss Kitty"

"Pity Miss Kitty"


Pity, pity, pity Miss Kitty
Have a little mercy on me
Well, pity, pity, pity, Miss Kitty
Won't you set my poor heart free?
You know Johnny B. Goode and Zorro, too
Can't love you any more than I do

Pity, pity, pity Miss Kitty
Didn't I buy you new shoes?
Well a, well a, well a
Pity, pity, pity Miss Kitty
I even paid your dues
Be my Kewpie doll, return to me
We'll be as happy as we can be

Won't you wear my ring around your neck
We'll be walkin' down the aisle, never lookin' back
For your precious love I'd swim the sea
I'd give up Skinny Minnie and her sister Jennie Lee

Well, pity, pity, pity Miss Kitty
How long are you gonna make me wait?
Well a, well a, well a
Pity, pity, pity Miss Kitty
All you gotta do is name the day
I'm in endless sleep, oh lonesome me
Come on Kitty, have pity on me

Oh, won't you wear my ring around your neck
We'll be walkin' down the aisle, never lookin' back
For your precious love I'd swim the sea
I'd give up Skinny Minnie and her sister Jennie Lee

Well, pity, pity, pity Miss Kitty
How long are you gonna make me wait?
Well a, well a, well a
Pity, pity, pity Miss Kitty
All you gotta do is name the day
I'm in endless sleep, oh lonesome me
Come on Kitty, have pity on me

Come on Kitty, have pity on me
Come on Kitty, have pity on me
Come on Kitty, have pity on me
