"Sunday In New York"

"Sunday In New York"


New York on Sunday,
Big City taking a nap!
Slow down, it's Sunday!
Life's a ball, let it fall in your lap!
If you've got troubles,
Just take them out for a walk.
They'll burst like bubbles
In the fun of a Sunday In New York!
You can spend time without spending a dime,
Watching people watch people pass!
Later you pause, and in one of those stores
There's that face next to yours in the glass!
Two hearts stop beating,
You're both too breathless to speak!
Love smiles her greeting,
Then the dream that has seen you thru the week
Comes true on Sunday In New York!
New York on Sunday,
Big City taking a nap!
Slow down, it's Sunday!
Life's a ball, let it fall in your lap!
And if you've got troubles,
Go take them out for a walk.
They'll burst like bubbles
In the fun of a Sunday In New York!
You can spend time without spending a dime
Watching people watch people pass!
Later you pause, and in one of those stores
There's that face next to yours in the glass!
Two hearts stop beating,
You're both too breathless to speak!
Love smiles her greeting,
Then the dream that has seen you thru the week
Comes true on Sunday In New York!
Comes true on Sunday In New York!

"Talk To Me Something"

"Talk To Me Something"


Talk to me something
Make me understand
Talk to me something
Make me understand

Talk to me sweetly
One long year completely
Talk to me something
While I hold your hand

Talk to me something
Whisper in my ear
Talk to me something
Whisper in my ear

Talk to me, hold my hand
Say I will [?]
Talk to me something
Words I long to hear

"Talk To The Animals"

"Talk To The Animals"


If I could talk to the animals, just imagine it
Chattin' with a chimp in chimpanzee
Imagine talking to a tiger, chatting with a cheetah
What a neat achievement it would be!

If we could talk to the animals, learn all their languages
I could take an animal degree
I'd study elephant and eagle, buffalo and beagle
Alligator, guinea pig, and flea!

I would converse in polar bear and python
And I would curse in fluent kangaroo
If people ask me "can you speak rhinocerous?"
I'd say "of courserous! Can't you?"

If I conferred with our furry friends, man to animal
Think of the amazing repartee
If I could walk with the animals, talk with the animals
Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals
And they could talk to me!

If I consulted with quadrupeds
Think what fun we'd have asking over crocodiles for tea!
Or maybe lunch with two or three lions, walruses and sea lions
What a lovely place the world would be!

If I spoke slang to orangutans
The advantages why any fool on earth could plainly see!
Discussing Eastern art and dramas
With intellectual llamas
That's a big step forward you'll agree!

I'd learn to speak in antelope and turtle
And my Pekinese would be extremely good
If I were asked to sing in hippopotamus
I'd say "whynotamous" and I would!

If I could parlay with pachyderms
It's a fairy tale worthy of Hans Anderson and Grimm
A man who walks with the animals and talks with the animals
Grunts and squeaks and squawks with the animals and they could talk to him!

Let me hear 'em talk

I'd study every creature's language
So I could speak to all of them on site
If friends said "can he talk in crab or maybe pelican"
You'd say "I canny can" and you'd be right!

And if you just stop and think of it
Ain't no doubt of it
I'm gonna win a place in history
If I could walk with the animals
Talk with the animals
Grunt, squeak, squawk with the animals
And they could squeak and squawk and speak and talk to me!

"Tell Me How Do You Feel"
(originally by Ray Charles)



Tell me how do you feel
When your baby's loving your best friend?
(I wanna know, I wanna know)
I said, how do you feel
When your baby's loving your best friend?
(I wanna know, I wanna know)

Yes, do you feel like going crazy
Or do you feel you've always been?
(I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know)

Hey, hey, tell me how how do you feel
When your baby crosses your mind?
(I wanna know, I wanna know)
Tell me how do you feel
When your baby crosses your mind?
(I wanna know, I wanna know)

Do you crack up with loud laughter?
Or do you break down and start crying?
(I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know)

Tell me how do you feel, partner
And I want the truth and not a lie
(I wanna know, I wanna know)
Yeah, how do you feel, partner
I want the truth and not a lie?
(I wanna know, I wanna know)

Because if you feel good on the inside
I must admit you're a better man than I
(I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know)

Oh, would you feel happy now
Or would you feel sad
When you lost the best girl
That you ever had?

I wanna know
(I wanna know)
I wanna know
(I wanna know)

I wanna know
(I wanna know)
I wanna know
(I wanna know)
I wanna know, yes, I wanna know
(I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know)

Would you feel happy now
Or would you feel sad
When you lost the best girl
That you ever had?

I wanna know
(I wanna know)
I wanna know
(I wanna know)

I wanna know
(I wanna know)
I wanna know
(I wanna know)
I wanna know, yes, I wanna know
(I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know)

It's alright
(It's alright)
It's alright
(It's alright)

It's alright
(It's alright)
It's alright
(It's alright)

It's alright
(It's alright)
It's alright
(It's alright)

"That Lucky Old Sun"

"That Lucky Old Sun"


Up in the mornin', out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around Heaven all day

Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids
Sweat 'till I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around Heaven all day

Good Lord above, don't you know I'm pinin'?
Tears are in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver linin'
Lift me to Paradise

Show, show me that river, take me across
And wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun give me nothin' to do
But roll around Heaven all day

Show me that river, please, take me across
And wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun give me nothin' to do
But roll around Heaven all day

"That's All"

"That's All"


I can only give you love that lasts forever
And the promise to be near each time you call
And the only heart I own, for you and you alone
That's all, that's all

I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall
And a love whose burning light
Will warm the winter's night, that's all, that's all

There are those who would offer the moon, dear
They would give you the world as a toy
All I have are these arms to enfold you
And a love time can never destroy

If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small
Say it's me that you'll adore, now and evermore
That's all, that's all

"That's The Way Love Is"

"That's The Way Love Is"


You're feeling low and oh so small
Then suddenly you're eight feet tall
She just walked in the room
And the gloomy room just glows
That's the way love is
That's how it goes

You're such a drag from nine 'til five
Then all at once you're so alive
It's just the way she winks her eye
Or wrinkles her nose
That's the way love is
That's how it goes

It's the world's oldest unsolved riddle
The kind of game you just can't win
And if you come up with the answer
You're a better man sir, than I, Gunga Din

So when that tingle hits you deep
And you're tired but you just can't sleep
Don't you take my word
Go and ask anyone who knows
That's the way love is
That's how it goes

It's the world's oldest unsolved riddle
The kind of game you just can't win
You come up with the answer
And you're a better man sir, than I, Gunga Din

So when that tingle hits you deep
And you're tired you don't sleep
Don't you take my word
Go and ask anyone who knows
That's the way love is
That's how it goes
That's how it goes
That's how it goes

"The Curtain Falls"

"The Curtain Falls"


Off comes the make up
Off comes the clown's disguise
The curtain's fallin'
The music softly dies.

But I hope your smilin'
As you're filin' out the door
As they say in this biz
That's all there is... there isn't anymore.

We've shared a moment
And as the moment ends
I got a funny feelin'
We're parting now as friends.

Your cheers and laughter will linger after
They've torn down these dusty walls
If I had this to do again
And the evening were new again
I would spend it with you again
But now the curtain falls.

Your cheers and laughter will linger after
They've torn down these dusty walls
People say I was made for this
Nothin' else would I trade for this
And just think I get paid for this...

"Goodnight ladies and gentlemen and God love you, thank you."

"The End Of Never"

"The End Of Never"


I will leave you at the end of never
Come whatever
Not before
When this earth is chilled by the sun
Then the love we've begun
Will be over and done
I will leave you far beyond forever
Past the music heaven hums
But I pray the end of never
Never comes
And I pray the end of never
Never comes

"The Girl Who Stood Beside Me"

"The Girl Who Stood Beside Me"


Whose face did I see beside me
When I looked into
The mirror yesterday?

Whose eyes opened wide
And who has tried
To keep my spirits high
Through yesterday

Who now shares my life?
And tears whenever I cry?
Who becomes my wife?
And fears the day I die?

Who now knows my thoughts
And every word I say?
She's the girl who stood beside me
When I looked into the mirror yesterday

Who then gave her hand to me
When I was trembling in the dark
Just yesterday?

Who then showed me all
The nights and all the sights
And all the lights, just yesterday?

Who now shares my time?
And who now makes my bed?
Who now lies beside me?
Who now holds my head?

Who knows all my thoughts
And every word I say?

She's the girl who stood beside me
When I looked into the mirror yesterday

Whose voice did I hear
When bells where ringing?
Silent birds that started
Singing yesterday

Who then said: "Come sit beside me"
Oh, my darling, don't deny me
Yesterday

Who now shares my time?
And who now makes my bed?
Who now lies beside me?
Who now holds my head?

Who knows all my thoughts
And every word I say?

She's the girl who stood beside me
When I looked into the mirror yesterday

Yes, the girl who stood beside me
As I looked into the mirror yesterday
