"The More I See You"

"The More I See You"



Each time I look at you is like the first time
Each time you're near me the thrill is new
And there is nothing that I wouldn't do for
The rare delight of the sight of you-ou

The more I see you, the more I want you
Somehow this feeling just grows and grows
With every sigh I become more ma-ad about you
More lost without you and so it goes

Can you i-imagine how much I love you
The more I see you as years go by
I know the only-y one for me can only be you
My arms won't free you, my-y heart won't try

I know the only-y one for me can only be you
My arms won't free you, my-y-y heart - won't try...

"The Most Beautiful Girl"

"The Most Beautiful Girl"



Hey, did you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world?
And if you did, was she crying, crying?
Hey, if you happen to see the most beautiful girl that walked out on me
Tell her I'm sorry.
Tell her I need my baby.
Won't you tell her that I love her.

I woke up this morning, realized what I had done,
I stood alone in the cold gray dawn:
I knew I'd lost my morning sun.
I lost my head and I said some things,
Now come the heartaches that the morning brings.
I know I'm wrong and I couldn't see,
I let my world slip away from me.

So, hey, did you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world?
And if you did, was she crying, crying?
An' hey, if you happen to see the most beautiful girl
that walked out on me:
Tell her I'm sorry.
Tell her I need my baby.
Oh, won't you tell her that I love her.

If you happen to see the most beautiful girl that walked out on me:
Tell her I'm sorry.
Tell her I need my baby.
Oh, won't you tell her that I love her.

"The Music That Makes Me Dance"

"The Music That Makes Me Dance"



I know you're around
When the sky and the ground start in ringing
I know you're around
By the thunder I hear in advance

Your words and your words alone
Are the words that start my heart singing
And yours is the only music that makes me dance

You'll sleep and you'll rise
In the light of two eyes that adore you
Bore you it might
But you won't leave my sight for a glance

In every way, everyday, I need less of myself
And need more you, more you
Yours is the only music that makes me dance

In every way, everyday, I need less of myself
And need more you, more you
Yours is the only music that makes me dance

"The Party's Over"

"The Party's Over"



The party's over
It's time to call it a day
They've burst your pretty balloon
And taken the moon away
It's time to wind up the masquerade
Just make your mind up the piper must be paid

The party's over
The candles flicker and dim
You danced and dreamed through the night
It seemed to be right just being with him
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party's over
It's all over, my friend

The party's over

It's time to call it a day
they've burst your pretty balloon and taken the moon away
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party's over
It's all over, my friend

It's all over, my friend

"The Rainbow Connection"

"The Rainbow Connection"



Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions but only illusions
Rainbows have nothing to hide

So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Well, who said that every wish would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Well, somebody thought of that and someone believed it
Look what it's done so far

And what's so amazing that keeps us star-gazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

And all of us under its spell
We know that it's probably magic

Well, have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name
And is this the sweet sound that called the young sailor?
The voice may be one and the same

But I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm supposed to be
Someday we'll find the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
The lovers, the dreamers and me

"The Riviera"

"The Riviera"



When trouble troubles you
the only thing to do
is dance, you simply gotta dance

And if you've had a tiff
you'll soon forget it if you dance
you simply gotta dance
Here in the south of France
they've got a new step
it's quite the cutest dance invented to step
so do step

Wriggle your hips and kick up your heels
you'll be suprised how lovely it feels

Ev'rybody's doing the Riviera

Wiggle your fingers, wiggle your toes
Just how it started nobody knows

Ev'rybody's doing the Riviera
Multi Millionaires and their little pets do it
Even maiden ladies who wear lorgnettes
have taken to it
Tell ev'ryone to give out the news
this is the way to shake off the blues
Ev'rybody's doing the Riviera
Tell ev'ryone to give out the news
this is the way to shake off the blues
Ev'rybody's doing the Riviera
Get on the dance floor, get in the swing
this is the time for having a fling
Everybody's doing the Riviera
Clap-a your hands and slap on your thighs
Grin like a goon and roll up your eyes
Ev'rybody's doing the Riviera
All the bright young things and their bright young beaux do it
Even duchesses and their gigalos
have taken to it
Ain't it terrific? Ain't it the top?
You gotta dance right on till you drop
Ev'rybody's doing the Riviera

"The Rosary"

"The Rosary"



The hours I spent with Thee, Dear Heart!
Or, as a string of pearls to Thee,
I count them over, every one apart,
My rosary, my rosary...

Each hour a pearl, each pearl a prayer,
To still a heart in absence wrung,
I tell each bead unto the end,
And there a cross is hung...

O' memories that bless and burn,
O' barren gain and bitter loss,
I kiss each bead and strive at last to learn,
To kiss the cross, Sweet Heart,
To kiss the cross...

I kiss each bead and strive at last to learn,
To kiss the cross, Sweet Heart,
To kiss the cross... (to kiss the cross)

"The Second Time Around"

"The Second Time Around"



Love is lovelier the second time around
Just as wonderful with both feet on the ground
It's that second time you hear your love song sung
Makes you think, perhaps, that love like you
Is wasted on the young

Love's more comfortable the second time you fall
Like a friendly home the second time you call
Who can say what led us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once and yet
I'm oh so glad we met the second time around

Who can say what led us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once and yet
I'm oh so glad we met the second time around

"The Secret Of Christmas"

"The Secret Of Christmas"



Look at the happy people
Christmas is in the air
Well I know the secret of Christmas
A secret I'm willing to share

It's not the glow you feel
When snow appears
Yeah, it's not the Christmas card
You've sent for years and years and years
Not the joyful sound
When sleigh bells ring
Or the merry songs
Children sing

Yeah the little gift you send
On your Christmas day
Will not bring back the friend
You've turned away
So may I suggest
The secret of Christmas
Is not the things you do at Christmas time
But the Christmas things you do
All year through

Yeah the little gift you send
On your Christmas day
Will not bring back the friend
You've turned away
So may I suggest
The secret of Christmas
Is not the things you do at Christmas time
But the Christmas things you do
All year through
