"Remember"

"Remember"



Long ago,far away,life was clear, close your eyes
"Remember," is a place from long ago
"Remember", filled with ev'rything you know
Remember, when you're sad and feeling down, remember, turn around
Remember, life is just a memory
Remember, close your eyes and you can see
Remember, think of all that life can be, remember
Dream,love is only in a dream, remember
Remember, life is never as it seems, dream
Dream, love is only in a dream, remember
Remember, life is never as it seems, dream
Long ago, far away, life was clear, close your eyes

"Ring The Bell"

"Ring The Bell"



Ring the bell, it's a glorious sound, people gather around
And start to cheer and the cheer start to swell
If you like to taking a bow then you got to know how
To ring the bell

Dreams that dwell in the back of your eyes
They'll materialize if you get up and get out of your shell
You can't depend upon bait for your height and your weight
To ring the bell

There's a grindstone for your nose
There's a treetop for your toes
Don't stay home and decompose
Just get out and get going where a go getter goes

Who can tell if you missed a few meals?
If you're down at the heels put on a well to do smile
And you'll do well
Don't hide your head in a truck just come up, all up
And ring the bell

And it's like I always say
Don't do anything halfway
There's a time for work and play
Don't put off tomorrow what you could do today

Ring the bell
Why it's simply absurd how much a wide awake crook can compel
When it's the time to get up, that's the time to get up
When it's the time to get up, that's the time to get up
And ring, and ring, and ring the bell

"Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer"

"Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer"



Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose
and if you ever saw it
you would even say it glows
all of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names
they never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games
then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
then how the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee (yippee)
"Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
you'll go down in history."

"Run To Me"

"Run To Me"



If ever you got rain in your heart,
someone has hurt you, and torn you apart,
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?

And let it be like they said it would be -
me loving you girl, and you loving me.
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?

Run to me whenever you're lonely. (to love me)
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then, you need someone older,
so darling, you run to me.

And when you're out in the cold,
no one beside you, and no one to hold,
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?

And when you've got nothing to lose,
nothing to pay for, nothing to choose,
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me

Run to me whenever you're lonely. (to love me)
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then you need someone older,
so darling, you run to me.

"Samba De Orfeu"

"Samba De Orfeu"



The sun is hot, the nights are long.
love's the inspiration to write this song.
With feelings high, I kiss the sky
and ask the stars to put their sparkle in your eyes.

The sun is hot, but passion's not
I kiss the breeze and call the wind to pass my love on.
I need you near, but you're not here.
And so I trust my love and passion to the skies.

I dance for you, Samba de Orfeu
with rhythm blue, I dance for you.

A samba beat, let two hearts meet.
And let the beat, rise up high into the dark sky.
I think of you, I dream of you
And now I pass my love and passion to the skies

I dance for you samba de Orfeu
with rhythm blue, I dance for you.

The sun is hot, the nights are long.
love's the inspiration to write this song.
With feelings high, I kiss the sky
and ask the stars to put their sparkle in your eyes.

Passion in your eyes
into your eyes
into your eyes ...

"Sands Of Time"

"Sands Of Time"



I walk in silence
Selow a rainy sky
I find my self
in a pantomime
'Cause I've been trying
hard to make you speak
In a monolouge
since you're out of reach
We're dyin' flames of yesterday
I hope you'll find some other ways
'cause

I'll be loosing mine
in the sand of time
I'm a fool for yesterday
When I feel like wanna say
I'll be holding you
thru the heat and thru the cold

Could you ever feel the same
And I remember
the way we used to smile
But now the bells
have begun to chime
Can I survive it
breathing lonely air
I know I'm free
but do I dare
We're dyin' flames of yesterday
I hope you'll find some other ways
'cause

I'll be loosing mine
in the sand of time
I'm a fool for yesterday
When I feel like wanna say
I'll be holding you
thru the heat and thru the cold

"Seasons Of Love"

"Seasons Of Love"



Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter and strife
In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure a year in the life?

How about love?
Talk about love?
What about love?
Measure in love
(Seasons of love)
(Seasons of love)

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand journeys to plan
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life of a woman or a man?

In truths that she learned or times that he cried
In bridges he burned or the way that she died
(It's time now to sing out though the story never ends)
Let's celebrate, remember a year in the life of friends

Remember the love
Remember the love
Remember the love
Measure in love
Measure your life in love

(Seasons of love)
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
(Seasons of love)
Five hundred twenty-five thousand journeys to plan
(Seasons of love)
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
(Seasons of love)
Well, how do you measure the life of a woman or a man, Lord?

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

"Secret Love"

"Secret Love"



Once I had a secret love
That lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love
Became impatient to be free

So I told the friendly star,
The way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are
And why I'm so in love with you

Now I shout it from the highest hills,
Even told the golden daffodils
At last my hearts an open door,
And my secret love's no secret anymore

Now I shout it from the highest hills,
Even told the golden daffodils
At last my hearts an open door,
And my secret love's no secret anymore

"Send In The Clowns"

"Send In The Clowns"



Isn't it rich, are we a pair
Me here at last on the ground
You in mid-air
Send in the clowns
Isn't it bliss, don't you approve
One who keeps tearing around
One who can't move
Where are the clowns
Send in the clowns
Just when I'd stopped opening doors
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines
No one is there
Don't you love a farce,
My fault I fear,
I thought that you'd want what I want
Sorry my dear!
But where are the clowns
There ought to be clowns
Quick send in the clowns
What a surprise,
Who could foresee?
I'd come to feel about you
What you felt about me?
Why only now when I see
That you've drifted away?
What a surprise
What a cliche
Isn't it rich, isn't it queer
Losing my timing this late in my career
And where are the clowns
Quick send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're here
