"Alone At Last"

"Alone At Last"

Alone at last in a hideaway far away
From all the worries in the world.
We share each other
While the sun's going down,
Not another soul around,
Alone at last,
You and I.

Sunshine, plenty of space and time, heady wine
For thirsty souls like yours and mine.
We come together
Like the sea and the sand
In a very private wonderland,
Alone at last,
You and I
Wave goodbye
To the crowded nights
And city lights we left behind.
We love the dreams we share
And dare to live the dream.

The sea in her serenity, silently
Casts a spell on you and me.
We share each other
While the sun's going down
Not another soul around
Alone at last,
Alone at last,
You and I.

We share each other
while the sun's going down,
Not another soul around,
Alone at last,
Alone at last,
You and I.

"Alone In New York In The Rain"

"Alone In New York In The Rain"

Stumblin' along,
Someone somewhere's been neglecting things.
I've known all along,
It's wrong to go about expecting things.
But lookin' for love in this city
Is like gettin' burned without feelin' no pain.

Safety first, cries the sign on the street.
Keep to yourself, sing the faces I meet.
So far from home,
All alone in New York in the rain.

Chilled by the breeze,
Autumn shadows are concealing things.
Worn at the knees,
Dungarees begin revealing things.
Lord, I'm so low and lonely,
Worst of all is this rain keeps on fallin'.

Safety first, cries the sign on the street.
Keep to yourself, sing the faces I meet.
So far from home,
All alone in New York in the rain.

Da da da da
Da da la la la la la la la
Da da da da
Da da la la la la la la la.
Lord, I'm so low and lonely,
Worst of all is this rain keeps on fallin'.

Safety first, cries the sign on the street.
Keep to yourself, sing the faces I meet.
So far from home,
All alone in New York in the rain.
All alone in New York in the rain.

"Amarillo"
(originally by Tony Christie)

"Amarillo"
(originally by Tony Christie)

When the day is dawning
On a Texas Sunday morning,
How I long to be there
With Marie who's waitin' for me there.
Every lonely city
Where I hang my hat,
Ain't as half as pretty
As where my baby's at.

Is this the way to Amarillo?
Every night I've been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me.
Show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weepin' like a willow
Crying over Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me.

Sha la la la la la la la
And Marie who waits for me.

There's a church bell ringing,
Hear the sound of joy that it's singing
For the sweet Maria
And the guy who's comin' to see her.
Just beyond the highway
Lies an open plain
And it keeps me going
Through the wind and rain.

Is this the way to Amarillo?...

"Angel Eyes"

"Angel Eyes"

Try to think that love's not around
Still it's uncomfortably near
My own heart ain't gainin' no ground
Because my Angel Eyes ain't here

Angel Eyes that old devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say that my love's mis-spent
Mis-spent with Angel Eyes tonight

So drink up, drink up all you people
And order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The drink, and the laugh's, on me

Pardon me, but I gotta run
The fact's uncommonly clear
I gotta find who's now number one
And why my Angel Eyes ain't here.

I gotta find who's now the number one
And why my Angel Eyes ain't here.
'Scuse me while I disappear.

"Another Sleepless Night"

"Another Sleepless Night"

Another sleepless night (sleepless night)
I sit alone and cry (sit and cry)
Twilight time till dawn
Memories linger on
Since we said goodbye (since we said goodbye)

Throughout the sleepless night (sleepless night)
No matter what I do (what I do)
You're always on my mind
And though you're gone I find
I'm still in love with you (still in love with you)

Shadows fall
And I recall
The love that you once had for me
Miss you so
When lights are low
I think of things that used to be

You're always in my heart (always in my heart)
Although you're out of sight (out of sight)
Lonely teardrops burn
As I toss and turn
Another sleepless night (sleepless night)

You're always in my heart (always in my heart)
Although you're out of sight (out of sight)
Lonely teardrops burn
As I toss and turn
Another sleepless night (sleepless night)

"Anywhere You're Gonna Be (Leba's Song)"

"Anywhere You're Gonna Be (Leba's Song)"

As if you think that you could run away and I would never find you.
You take the covers and you pull them past your eyes so they can't blind you.
You can run across a meadow,
Sail upon the deep blue sea,
Don't you know that I would travel
Anywhere you're gonna be.

Don't try to hide away 'cause I'll be anywhere you're gonna be.
Hide in the sky away and I'll be anywhere you're gonna be.
When you're down and feelin' lonely, so lonely,
You can always count on me,
Don't you know that I'll come runnin'
Anywhere you're gonna be.

Rest yourself upon my pillow,
Hold my hand and say my name.
I will always stay beside you,
It'll always be the same.

Don't try to hide away 'cause I'll be anywhere you're gonna be.
Hide in the sky away and I'll be anywhere you're gonna be,
I'll be anywhere you're gonna be.

"As Long As I Live"

"As Long As I Live"

As long as I live an the long I can give will be yours alone
Never before did I need someone more for my very own.
For as long as I live
I will love only you
When I'm in your arms
Dreams come true
Ev'ry beat of my heart
An the love I can give
Will always be yours for the long as I live.

I held you tight in the still of the night and the world was mine
I never knew that the nearness of you could be so divine.
For as long as I live
I will love only you
When I'm in your arms
Dreams come true
Ev'ry beat of my heart
An the love I can give
Will always be yours for as long as I live

"Baby Blue"

"Baby Blue"

Baby blue, he doesn't love you
He only wants to break your heart
Baby blue, he doesn't need you
He's gonna rip your dreams apart
Baby blue, you must forget him
Cause his love don't mean a thing
He's only gonna keep you
Like a puppet on a string

Let him go, baby blue
And clear those cloudy skies
Let him know, baby blue
I'm the one who'll dry your eyes
Give your heart to the heart
That loves no one but you
Let me bring a little sunshine to you
Baby blue

Baby blue, if you could love me
Never would I cause you pain
Baby blue, if you just trust me
I'm gonna chase away the rain
Baby blue, If I could reach you
I'll light your darkest day
But if it's gonna happen
You gotta send him on his way

Let him go, baby blue
And clear those cloudy skies
Let him know, baby blue
I'm the one who'll dry your eyes
Give your heart to the heart
Who loves no one but you
Let me bring a little sunshine to you
Baby blue

Let him go, baby blue
And clear those cloudy skies
Let him know, baby blue
I'm the one who'll dry your eyes
Give your heart to the heart
That loves no one but you
Let me bring a little sunshine to you
Baby blue

Let me bring a little sunshine to you
Baby blue
Baby, baby, baby blue...

"Baby's First Christmas Lullaby"

"Baby's First Christmas Lullaby"

Papa sings a Christmas song
And it's so sweet that Nana sings along
The music notes fall from the sky
It's Baby's First Christmas Lullaby

The angels smile and spread their wings
And if you listen you can hear them sing
And through the room reindeers dance and fly
That's Baby's First Christmas Lullaby

Charlotte wakes when she hears the croons
Of candy canes and singing spoons
Hush, Amanda, now don't you weep
Your dolls will sing you back to sleep
Then
Santa comes with Rudolph too
And here's a special gift they bring to you
And you can sing it if you try
That's Baby's First Christmas Lullaby

The Christmas tree begins to sway
And all the toy balloons just seem to say
Don't let the music pass you by
It's Baby's First Christmas Lullaby
Then
Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee
Are harmonizing 'neath the tree
The mistletoes let out a sigh
They're telling you, you must not cry
So
Join with me in this Christmas song
And you'll feel good if you can sing along
So sing it loud and don't be shy
That's Baby's First Christmas Lullaby

(I Love You, Papa Neil)

"Bad And Beautiful"

"Bad And Beautiful"

Hooray for Mr. Wonderful,
he's feeling bad and beautiful,
I've seen him hanging out in the strangest places,
jiving in the dives where well fed faces go,
he looks so good yeah, he talks so fine,
feeling bad and beautiful,
he's grown to be a legend in his own time.
You can find him most of the time,
want only carousing after hours,
swimming in his winning and his gin,
don't you wish that you could be like him,
oh bless him in his arrogance,
doesn't ever miss a chance,
to vow you with his line of invitations,
never giving into limitations, no,
he talks so good yeah, he looks so fine,
feeling bad and beautiful,
he's grown to be a legend in his own time, oh oh.

Hey, have you seen People Magazine,
he's smiling on the cover bright as day,
well no telling where he goes from here,
maybe he'll just up and fly away.

Hooray for Mr. Wonderful.
