"On The Sunny Side Of The Street"

"On The Sunny Side Of The Street"



Walked with no one and talked with no one
And I had nothing but shadows
Then one morning you passed
And I brightened at last
Now I greet the day and complete the day
With the sun in my heart
All my worry blew away
When you taught me how to say

Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worry on the doorstep
Just direct your feet
To the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear a pitter-pat?
And that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade
With those blues on parade
But I'm not afraid
This Rover crossed over

If I never have a cent
I'd be rich as Rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street
Grab your street

"Once"

"Once"



Once in a while will you try to give
One little thought to me
Though someone else may be
Nearer your heart?

Once in a while will you dream
Of the moments I shared with you
Moments before we two
Drifted apart?

In love's smoldering ember
One spark may remain
If love still can remember
That spark may burn again

I know that I'll be contented
With yesterday's memory
Knowing you think of me
Once in a while

In love's smoldering ember
One spark may remain
If love still can remember
The spark may burn again

I know that I'll be contented
With yesterday's memory
Knowing you think of me
Once in a while

"One"

"One"



One singular sensation every little step she takes
One thrilling combination every little move that she makes
One smile and certainly nobody else will do
You know you will never be lonely with you know who

One moment in her presence
And you can forget the rest
Oh, the girl is second best to none, son

Ooh, sigh, give her your attention
Ooh, I really have to mention
She's the one

She walks in to a room
And you know you must
Shuffle along, join the parade
She's the contestant of making the grade

This is what you call traveling
Oh stretch yourself
I can't get enough of her number
I'm a son of a gun, she's one of a kind

One moment in her presence
And you can forget the rest
Oh, the girl is second best to none, son

Ooh, sigh, give her your attention
Ooh, I really have to mention
She's the one

"One Day In Your Life"

"One Day In Your Life"



One day in your life
You'll remember a place
Someone touching your face
You'll come back and you'll look around, you'll

One day in your life
You'll remember the love you found here
You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day

One day in your life
When you find that you're always waiting
For a love we used to share
Just call my name, and I'll be there
You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day

One day in your life
When you find that you're always lonely
For a love we used to share
Just call my name, and I'll be there.

"One More Mountain"

"One More Mountain"



One more mountain, one more river,
One more mile, and I'll be home...
Is she waitin' like she promised,
Or, have I been gone too long?

Has she given her love to someone?
Oh! no, that couldn't be!
One more mountain, one more river,
One more mile, an' then I'll see!

"One More Night"

"One More Night"



Everyone keeps telling me
I'm something I'm not
They fill me with questions
That tear me apart

But through it all
It was you who pulled me out
Please don't leave me now

Just give me one more night
To hold you, one more night
Give me one more night
To have you near

There's a man at the train stop
With tears in his eyes
It reminds me of so long ago
When I was able to cry

Now I'm strong
Slip away and laugh along
Anyone who needs someone blue

Give me one more night
To hold you, one more night
Give me one more night
To have you near

What can I say
To make you stay?
I'd do anything
(I'd do anything)
I'd give everything
(I'd give everything)

To have just one more night
To hold you, one more night
Give me one more night
To have you near

One more night

"One Starry Night"

"One Starry Night"



One starry night as I lay sleepin'
One starry night as I lay in bed
Dreamed I heard wagon wheels a'creakin'
When I awoke, love, found you had fled

I'll search the highways likewise the byways
I'll search the boreens, the camping places too
I will inquire of all our people
Have they tide or tidings or sight of you

For it's many's the mile, love, with you I've traveled
Many's the hour, love, with you I've spent
Dreamed you were my love forever
But now I find, love, you were only lent

I'm drunk today, I'm seldom sober
A handsome rover from town to town
When I am dead, my story ended
Molly Bn a stoirn, come lay me down

One starry night as I lay sleepin'
One starry night as I lay in bed
Dreamed I heard wagon wheels a'creakin'
Now that you're gone, love, I might as well be dead

"Only You (And You Alone)"

"Only You (And You Alone)"



Only you
Can make this world seem right
Only you
Can make the darkness bright
Only you and you alone
Can thrill me like you do
And fill my heart with love for only you
Baby only you
Can make this change in me
For it's true
You're my destiny
And when you hold my hand I understand
The magic that you do
You're my dream come true
My one and only you

Ohhh only you
Can make this change in me.
Baby, it's so true
You are my destiny
When you hold my hand, I understand
The magic that you do
Baby you my dream come true and my one and only you.

"Open Fire"

"Open Fire"


staring at an open fire
watching flames as they leap higher
I recall an old romance
I can almost smell the perfume
that she wore at our first dance

Staring at the burning embers
strange the things that one remembers
[?]

I can almost feel her cheek on mine
I can almost hear what she's saying
as I dance with my old valentine
I would swear I can hear
the music playing

sitting on a cozy pillow
poking ashes with a willow
stirs a spark of old desire
funny how the memories come rushing back
before an open fire

"Over The Rainbow"

"Over The Rainbow"



Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams you dare to dream
Really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me

Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Oh, somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why, can't I?

Oh, somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly, yeah
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why, can't I?

Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why, can't I?
