"Eleanor Rigby"

"Eleanor Rigby"



Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people (ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people (ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?

"Eli Eli"

"Eli Eli"



Eli, Eli
I pray that it never will end.
The sand and the sea
and the waves breaking and sighing
and high over the water
the wind blowing free.

The lightning and rain and the darkness descending
and ever and ever the nature of man.

"Elusive Butterfly"

"Elusive Butterfly"



You might wake up some mornin'
To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'll catch a fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow
Out on the new horizon
You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings
And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow

Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

You might have heard my footsteps
Echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind
I might have even called your name
As I ran searching after something to believe in
You might have seen me runnin'
Through the long-abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something there
That glided past you followed close by heavy breathin'

Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

"Embraceable You"

"Embraceable You"



Embrace me,
My sweet embraceable you.
Embrace me,
You irreplaceable you.
Just one look at you - my heart grew tipsy in me.
You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me.
I love all
The many charms about you;
Above all,
I want my arms about you.
Don't be a naughty baby,
Come to papa - come to papa - do!
My sweet embraceable you.

I love all
The many charms about you;
Above all,
I want my arms about you.
Don't be a naughty baby,
Come to papa - come to papa - do!
My sweet embraceable you

"Emotion"

"Emotion"



It's over and done
But the heartache lives on inside
And who's the one you're clinging to
Instead of me tonight?

And where are you now? Now that I need you
Tears on my pillow, wherever you go
I cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heart
It's just emotion that's taken me over
Tied up in sorrow, lost in my soul

And if you don't come back, come home to me, darling
You know that there'll be nobody else in this world to hold me tight
Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

I'm there at your side
I'm a part of all the things you are
But you've got a part of someone else
You've got to find your shining star

And where are you now? Now that I need you
Tears on my pillow, wherever you go
I cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heart
It's just emotion that's taken me over
Tied up in sorrow, lost in my soul

And if you don't come back, come home to me, darling
You know that there'll be nobody else in this world to hold me tight
Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

"Evergreen"

"Evergreen"



Love soft as an easy chair
Love fresh as the morning air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you

Like a rose under the April snow
I was always certain love would grow
Love ageless and evergreen
Seldom seen by two

You and I will make each night a first
Every day a beginning
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
They warm and excite us, cause we have the brightest love

Two lives that shine as one
Morning glory and midnight sun
Time we've learned to sail above
Time wont change the meaning of one love
Ageless and ever evergreen

Love, soft as an easy chair
Love, fresh as the morning air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you

Like a rose under the April snow
I was always certain, love would grow
Love ageless and evergreen
Seldom seen by two

You and I will make each night a first
Everyday a beginning
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
They warm and excite us
'Cause we have the brightest love

Two lights that shine as one
Morning glory and midnight sun
Time we've learned to sail above
Time won't change the meaning of one love
Ageless and ever, evergreen

"Every Beat Of My Heart"

"Every Beat Of My Heart"



I could feel
It coming from a mile away
When I opened up the door
I saw everything that I've been waiting for, hey, hey
Close your eyes
I don't care what other people say
Underneath the stars
Now Jupiter and Mars don't seem so far away
I want you to know
You take my breath away
And it's been that way right from the start
I didn't know how to tell you
That I want to love you with every beat of my heart
(With every beat of my heart)
With every beat of my heart
Take my hand
Don't be afraid, don't go, I want you to stay
Just relax your mind
I promise that tomorrow will be just like today

I want you to know
You take my breath away
And it's been that way right from the start
I didn't know how to tell you
That I want to love you with every beat of my heart
(With every beat of my heart)
With every beat of my heart
I said, “I want you to know
You take my breath away
And it's been that way right from the start”
I didn't know how to tell you
That I want to love you with every beat of my heart
With every beat of my heart
(With every beat of my heart)
With every beat of my heart
With every beat of my heart

"Everybody's Talkin'"

"Everybody's Talkin'"



Everybody's talkin' at me
I don't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind

People stopping, staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Thru' the pourin' rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Backin' off the north east wind
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skippin' over the ocean like a stone

Everybody's talkin' at me
I don't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind

"Everything's Coming Up Roses"

"Everything's Coming Up Roses"



I had a dream, a dream about you, baby
It's gonna come true, baby
They think that we're through, but baby...

You'll be swell, you'll be great
Gotta have the whole world on a plate
Starting here, starting now
Honey, everything's coming up roses!
Clear the decks, clear the tracks
You got nothing to do but relax
Blow a kiss, take a bow
Honey, everything's coming up roses!

Now it's your inning
Stand the world on it's ear
Said it's spinning
That'll be just the beginning

Curtain up, light the lights
You got nothing to hit, but the heights
You'll be swell, you'll be great
I can tell, just you wait
The lucky star I talk about is due
Honey, everything's coming up roses
For me and for you!

You can do it
All you need is a hand
We can do it
Momma is gonna see to it

Curtain up, light the lights
We got nothing to hit but the heights
I can tell, wait and see
There's a bell
Follow me

And nothing's gonna stop us
Till we're through
Honey, everything's coming up roses
And daffodils
Everything's coming up
Sunshine and Santa Claus
Everything's gotta be
Bright lights and lollipops
Everything's coming up roses
For me and for you...
