"Is It Really Over?"

"Is It Really Over?"

Is it really over, is this the end of the line?
Don't tell me I'm losing the love that was mine.
If you're really leaving, take some part of me.
So I'll always remember, how sweet love used to be.

I wonder who's stepping into my shoes, who can he be?
I can tell by your eyes our love has died, and it's over for me.

I wonder who's stepping into my shoes, who can he be?
I can tell by your eyes our love has died, and it's over for me.

Really over for me.........

"It Is No Secret"

"It Is No Secret"

The chimes of time ring out the news
Another day is through
Some one slipped and fell,
Was that someone you?

You may have longed for added strength
Your courage to renew
Do not be disheartened
I have news for you.

[Chorus:]
It is no secret what God can do,
What he has done for others,
He'll do for you.
With arms wide open,
He'll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do.

There is no night, for in His light
You'll never walk alone.
You'll always feel at home wherever you may roam,
There is no power can conquer you,
While God is on your side.
Take Him at His promise,
Don't run away and hide.

[Chorus:]
It is no secret what God can do,
What he has done for others,
He'll do for you.
With arms wide open,
He'll pardon you.
It is no secret what God can do...

"It's Nothin' To Me"

"It's Nothin' To Me"

Take your drink to the end of the bar, buddy
Let her be, now don't be a fool
I'd soon have a hot seat in Sing Sing, buddy
Than to sit down by her on that stool.

What's that you say
I guess you're right
It's nothin' to me.

See that man she belongs to him, buddy
Better drink up and go while you can
I can tell by the way he looks at you, buddy
He's sure out with temper jealous man.

What's that you say
I guess you're right
It's nothin' to me.

There you are stretched out on the floor, buddy
Now you see what you made him do
Here they come to take him off to jail, buddy
And tomorrow someone will bury you.

Oh, well that's life
Or it was
It's nothin' to me...

"It's Only A Paper Moon"

"It's Only A Paper Moon"

It's only a paper moon,
Sailing over a cardboard sea.
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me.

It's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree.
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me.

Without your love,
It's a honky tonk parade.
Without your love,
It's a melody played in a penny arcade.

It's a Barnum and Bailey world,
Just as phony as it can be.
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me.

Without your love,
It's a honky tonk parade.
Without your love,
It's just a melody played in a penny arcade.

It's a Barnum and Bailey world,
Just as phony as it can be.
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me.

(If you believed)
(If you believed)
(If you believed in me)...

"Jingle Bells"

"Jingle Bells"

(Jingle ling a ling, Ahhh)
(Jingle ling a ling, Ahhh)

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh,
Oer the fields we go,
Laughing all the way;
Bells on bob-tail ring,
Making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

(Jingle ling a ling, Ahhh)
(Jingle ling a ling, Ahhh)

Now the ground is white
So go it while you're young,
Take the girls tonight
And sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bob-tailed nag
Two-forty for his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! you'll take the lead.

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Jingle all the way!
What fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh...

"Just Call Me Lonesome"

"Just Call Me Lonesome"

I climb the stairs up to my room
But no one meets me in my gloom
The silence tells me she is gone
Just call me lonesome from now on.

Why must I love a heartless one
Who never know the harm she's done
Though love is blind I should have known
Just call me lonesome from now on.

These walls will hide me when I cry
And hope that heaven lets me die
What good is life when hope is gone
Just call me lonesome from now on.

I pray my memories at last
Will fade into the distant past
If I must live and love alone
Just call me lonesome from now on...

"Just Out Of Reach"

"Just Out Of Reach"

Love that runs away from me
Dreams that just won't let me be
Blues that keep on botherin' me
Chains that just won't set me free
Too far away from you and all your charms
Just out of reach of my two empty arms.

Each night in dreams I see your face
Memories time has erased
Then I awake and find you gone
I'm so blue and all alone
So far away from lips so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two empty arms.

[Spoken]
That old lonesome feeling all the time
I know you'll, you'll never be mine
Dreams that hurt me in my sleep
I mean vows that we just couldn't keep
[Sang]
(Too far away from you and all your charms)
Just out of reach of my two empty arms...

"Just Walking In The Rain"

"Just Walking In The Rain"

Just walking in the rain
Getting soaking wet
Torturing my heart
By trying to forget.

Just walking in the rain
So alone and blue
All because my heart
Still remembers you.

People come to windows,
They all stare at me
Shake their heads in sorrow
Saying, Who can this fool be?

Just walking in the rain
Thinking how we met
Knowing things have changed
Somehow I can't forget.

People come to windows,
They all stare at me
They shake their heads in sorrow
Saying, Who can this fool be?

Just walking in the rain
Thinking how we met
Knowing things have changed
Somehow I can't forget...

"Jy Is My Liefling"

"Jy Is My Liefling"

Jy is my liefling en ek is so bly
Hier die tyd is verby en jy wag nou vir my
Daar by jou woning sien ek weer die lug
En ek weet jy, my liefling, is terug

As die maan opkom oor die velde
En die sterretjies skyn in die lug
Dan voel ek so lief vir die wêreld
O ek weet my liefling is nou terug

Jy is my liefling en ek kom vanaand
Met die pad deur die land, deur die hek by die rant
Hier by Oom Willem hoor jy die geblaf
En jy hoor nou die draf van my perd

"Let Me Love You Just a Little"

"Let Me Love You Just a Little"

Just because the moon is bright's
No sign he's watchin' us tonight
Let me hold your hand
Maybe love you just a little

The moon just went behind a cloud
And I won't whisper very loud
Let me whisper in your ear
Maybe love you just a little

Some folks talk agin' romance
And say we shouldn't do it
Don't ya pay no 'tention to what they say
You know there ain't nothin' to it.

Love's what makes the world go 'round
And you're the roundest thing I've found
Let me hold your hand
Maybe love you just a little

[Repeat all verses]
