"No One Ever Tells You"

"No One Ever Tells You"


No one ever tells you what's like to love and lose,
How it feels to waken and have breakfast with the blues,
How to go on living, how to face another day,
No one ever tells you the way.
No one ever tells you how it feels to walk alone,
Listening for those footsteps through the echo of your own.
Suddenly it hits you all those dreams not worth a dime,
Cause no one ever tells you in time.
Long before the icy winds of winter,
Autumn tells the swallows, time to fly,
Why did she pretend till the bitter end
Till it broke my heart to say goodbye.
And no one ever tells you that it's just another fling
No one ever warns you when your heart begins to sting
Someone tells you later all is fair in love and war,
But no one ever tells you before.

[instrumental]

No one ever tells you that it's just another fling,
No one ever warns you when your heart begins to sting
Someone tells you later all is fair in love and war,
But no one ever tells you before.
It never comes easy, no one ever tells you before.

"Noah"

"Noah"



The world's a tiny blue-green ark
Afloat in darkest space.
And every creature lives his time
And knows his special place
And each of us is Noah
With a life all in our care
To keep against the darkness
That's flooding everywhere

We've got to walk with the lion,
Soar with the eagle,
Sing with the nightingale
And live in love and peace.

The times have made us fearful
And our fears have brought the tears
The loneliness and darkness
Have grown bitter with the years
But a light is just beyond us
and the children almost see
A world that we've forgotten
And the world they want to be

When we walk with the lion,
Soar with the eagle,
Sing with the nightingale
And live in love and peace.

The ark is getting crowded now
And each of us must know
When everything is finished here
There's no where else to go.
The beasts are here to bless us
And the faith is in their eyes
That we can find the garden
And see that sweet dawn rise

And we can walk with the lion,
Soar with the eagle,
Sing with the nightingale
and live in love and peace.

We've got to walk with the lion,
Soar with the eagle,
Sing with the nightingale
And live in love and peace.

"Nobody Wins"

"Nobody Wins"


Anymore it doesn't matter who's right or wrong.
We've been injurin' each other much too long.
And it's too late to try to save what might have been.
It's over; nobody wins.

Make believin' in forever is just a lie.
And it seems a little sadder each time we try.
'Cause it's a shame to make the same mistake again and again.
It's over; nobody wins.

We've gone too far, too long, too far apart.
The lovin' was easy; it's the livin' that's hard.
For there's no need to stay to see the way it ends.
It's over; nobody wins.

We've gone too far, too long, too far apart.
The lovin' was easy; it's the livin' that's hard.
For there's no need to stay to see the way that it ends.
It's over; nobody wins.
It's over; nobody wins.

"None But The Lonely Heart"

"None But The Lonely Heart"



None but the lonely heart
Can know my sadness
Alone and parted
Far from joy and gladness
Heaven's boundless arch I see
Spread about above me
O what a distance dear to one
Who loves me
None but the lonely heart
Can know my sadness
Alone and parted
Far from joy and gladness
Alone and parted far
From joy and gladness
My senses fail
A burning fire
Devours me
None but the lonely heart
Can know my sadness

"Not As A Stranger"

"Not As A Stranger"



I think of you, my love, not as a stranger,
Although it's true, my love we've only met.
Yet I know your smile and I know your sigh,
Know them well from dreams I can't forget.
We've kissed like this before, you are not a stranger,
A thousand times or more.
'Neath stars above, now the path is clear,
For at last you're here, not as a stranger dear,
But my own true love.

"Nothing But The Best"

"Nothing But The Best"


I like a new Lincoln with all of its class,
I like a martini, and third on the glass,
I'm gonna start living, you wait and see,
Nothing but the best is good enough for me.
I like to eat lobster directly from Maine,
I like to see bullfights in sunny old Spain,
I'm gonna start living, you wait and see,
Nothing but the best is good enough for me.
Talley ho, off we go, who can wait another day,
You and me, out on a spree, let's get started right away.
We're gonna go charlin', and have us a fling,
We'll visit a palace, and dine with the king,
We're gonna start living, you wait and see,
Nothing but the best is good enough for me.

[musical interlude]

You and me, on a spree, let's get started right away.
We're a-gonna go charlin', and have us a fling,
We'll visit a palace, and dine with the king,
We're gonna start living, you wait and see,
Nothing but the best is good enough,.
Nothing but the best is good enough for me.

"Nothing In Common"
(with Keely Smith)

"Nothing In Common"
(with Keely Smith)



We've got nothin', got nothin' in common just nothin' in common
My darling, at all

I love the opera, I detest the best pop
Can't stand the opera, I like music that bops

We're not fated, not Heaven-created
We're really mis-mated, our chances are small

Let's part, be real smart and not start with this romance
'Cause outside of both having stars in our eyes
And outside of sighing the same kind of sighs
We've got nothin' in common at all

We've got nothin', got nothin' in common just nothin' in common
It never could last

I love Picasso, he's all style and he's all flair
I've seen Picasso and I think he's a square

Our two goals are apart as the poles are
As lovers our roles are completely miscast

Let's make a clean break and not take any chances
'Cause outside of thinking, you're something divine
And outside of wanting your lips close to mine
We've got nothin' in common
We've got nothin' in common at all

"Now Is The Hour"

"Now Is The Hour"



Now is the hour when we must say goodbye.
Soon you'll be sailing far across the sea.
While you're away, oh, then, remember me.
When you return, you'll find me waiting here.
Sunset glow fades in the west. Night o'er the valley is creeping.
Birds cuddle down in their nest, soon all the world will be sleeping.
Now is the hour when we must goodbye.
Soon you'll be sailing far across the sea.
While you're away, oh, then, remember me.
When you return, you'll find me waiting here.

"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!

"Oh! What It Seemed To Be"

"Oh! What It Seemed To Be"


It was just a neighborhood dance
That's all that it was
But, oh, what it seemed to be
It was like a masquerade ball
With costumes and all
'Cause you were at the dance with me
It was just a ride on a train
That's all that it was
But, oh, what it seemed to be
It was like a trip to the stars
To Venus and Mars
'Cause you were on the train with me
And when I kissed you, darling
It was more than just a thrill for me
It was the promise, darling
Of the things that fate had willed for me
It was just a wedding in June
That's all that it was
But, oh, what it seemed to be
It was like a royal affair
With everyone there
'Cause you said "Yes, I do" to me
