"If I Could Give You More"

"If I Could Give You More"



If I could give you more
I'd fill the house with flowers
Let you sleep for hours
Throw open the windows and unlock the doors
If I could give you more

If I could give you more
I'd make the streets safe
For every homeless waif
That wanders alone to a foreign shore
If I could give you more

See that you are sainted
Remain true and pure
So that you never get lost
No matter what you may endure

If I could give you more
I'd hand the world a phrase
That could not be erased
And tells of a love that's never been before
Oh, I will give you more

"If I Were A Bell"

"If I Were A Bell"



Ask me how do I feel
now that we're cosy and clinging
Well sir, all I can say, is if I were a bell I'd be ringing!

From the moment we kissed tonight
That's the way I've just gotta behave
Boy, if I were a lamp I'd light
And If I were a banner I'd wave!

Ask me how do I feel, little me with my quiet upbringing
Well sir, all I can say is if gate I'd be swinging!
And if I were a watch I'd start popping my springs!
Or if I were a bell I'd go ding dong, ding dong ding!

Ask me how do I feel from this chemistry lesson I'm learning.
Well sir, all I can say is if I were a bridge I'd be burning!
Yes, I knew my moral would crack
From the wonderful way that you looked!
Boy, if I were a duck I'd quack!
Or if I were a goose I'd be cooked!

Ask me how do I feel,
now that we're fondly caressing
Well, if I were a salad I know I'd be splashing my dressing
Oh, If I were a season
I shortly be spring
Yes, or if I were a bell I'd go
ding dong, ding dong ding!

"If Only I Had A Brain"

"If Only I Had A Brain"



I could while away the hours
Conferrin with the flowers
Consultin with the rain
And my head I'd be scratchin
While my thoughts were busy hatchin
If I only had a brain

I'd unravel any riddle
For any individd-el
In trouble or in pain
With the thoughts I'd be thinkin
I could be another Lincoln
If I only had a brain

Oh, I could tell you why
The ocean's near the shore
I could think of things I never thunk before
And then I'd sit and think some more

I would not be just a nothin
My head all full of stuffin
My heart all full of pain
Perhaps I deserve you
And be even worthy erve you
If I only had
If I only had a brain

"Imagination"

"Imagination"



Imagination is funny
It makes a cloudy day sunny
It makes a bee think of honey
Just like I think of you

Imagination is crazy
Your whole perspective gets hazy
It starts you asking a daisy what to do
What to do

Have you ever felt a gentle touch
And then a kiss, then and then
You find it's only your imagination again
Oh well

Imagination is silly
You go around willy-nilly
For example I go around wanting you
Yet I can't imagine that you want me too

"In Love Again"

"In Love Again"



There's a winding crack
Moving through my windshield
Like a vein in my head
The faster I go
The faster it winds
I'll get off the road
When my heart explodes
But not till then
I'm in love again

Given circumstance
I'm bounded by commitment
The whole way around
I usually know when I get to the end
As sure as I stand
The hour hand
Has stopped at ten
I'm in love again

There's an old blue shirt
Hanging in my closet
It's a favorite of mine
One day I looked and it just wasn't there
Now there's a red one
Hanging instead
It happens when
You're in love again
Amen...
I'm in love again

"It Had To Be You (Big Band And Vocals)"

"It Had To Be You (Big Band And Vocals)"



It had to be you
It had to be you
I wandered around and finally found
The somebody who could make me be true
Could make me be blue or even be glad
Just to be sad just 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 Alright With Me"

"It's Alright With Me"



It's the wrong time and the wrong place
Though your face is charming it's the wrong face
It's not her face but it's such a charming face
That it's alright with me

It's the wrong song in the wrong style
Though your smile is lovely it's the wrong smile
It's not her smile but it's such a lovely smile
That it's alright with me

You can't know how happy I am that we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
There's someone I'm trying so hard to forget
Don't you want to forget someone too

It's the wrong game with the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting they're the wrong lips
They're not her lips but they're such tempting lips
That if some night you're free
It's alright with me

"It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas"

"It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas"



It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go
Take a look in the five-and-ten,
Glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in ev'ry store
But the prettiest sight to see
Is the holly that will be
On your own front door

A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel,
One in the park as well
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring
Is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart

"It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year"

"It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year"



It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer"
It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
It's the hap -happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
It's the hap - happiest season of all

There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's The Most Wonderful Time
It's The Most Wonderful Time
It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

"It's Time"

"It's Time"



It's time to admit you love me
The flush of your cheek betrays
I hear a sigh in your voice
Your every word conveys

It's time to admit you love me
I feel the weight of your gaze
The smile that's mine alone
Your starry eyes sparkle ablaze

It's such a simple thing
How hard can it be
These few words
Endear you to me

It's time to admit I love you
And lift the worry from your brow
Rest your head upon my shoulder
There's nothing to be afraid of now
