"My Silent Love"

"My Silent Love"


I reach for you like I'd reach for a star,
Worshipping you from afar, living with my silent love;
I'm like a flame dying out in the rain,
Only the ashes remain, smouldering like my silent love;
How I long to tell all the things I have planned,
Still it's wrong to tell, you would not understand,
You'll go along never dreaming I care,
Loving somebody somewhere, leaving me my silent love.

"My Sweet Lord"

"My Sweet Lord"


My sweet lord
Hm, my lord
Hm, my lord

I really want to see you
Really want to be with you
Really want to see you lord
But it takes so long, my lord

My sweet lord
Hm, my lord
Hm, my lord

I really want to know you
Really want to go with you
Really want to show you lord
That it wont take long, my lord (hallelujah)

My sweet lord (hallelujah)
Hm, my lord (hallelujah)
My sweet lord (hallelujah)

I really want to see you
Really want to see you
Really want to see you, lord
Really want to see you, lord
But it takes so long, my lord (hallelujah)

My sweet lord (hallelujah)
Hm, my lord (hallelujah)
My, my, my lord (hallelujah)

Really want to go with you (hallelujah)

That it wont take long, my lord (hallelujah)

Hmm (hallelujah)
My sweet lord (hallelujah)
My, my, lord (hallelujah)

"Nobody's Heart"

"Nobody's Heart"


Nobody's heart belongs to me
Heigh-ho, who cares?
Nobody writes his songs to me
No one belongs to me
That's the least of my cares
I may be sad at times and disinclined to play
But it's not bad at times to go your own sweet way
Nobody's arms belong to me
No arms feel strong to me
I admire the moon
As a moon
Just a moon
Nobody's heart belongs to me today

Ride, Amazon, ride
Hunt your stags and bears
Take life in its stride
Heigh-ho, who cares?
Go hunting with pride
Track bears to their lairs
Ride, Amazon, ride
Heigh-ho, who cares?

Nobody's heart belongs to me
Heigh-ho, that's bad
Love's never sung her songs to me
I have never been had
I've had no trial in the game of man and maid
I'm like a violin that no one's ever played
Words about love are Greek to me
Nice girls won't speak to me
I despise the moon
As a moon
It's a prune
Nobody's heart belongs to me today

"Oh What A Beautiful Morning"

"Oh What A Beautiful Morning"


There's a bright golden haze on the meadow,
There's a bright golden haze on the meadow,
The corn is as high as an elephant's eye,
An' it looks like its climbin' clear up to the sky.
Oh what a beautiful morning,
Oh what a beautiful day,
I've got a wonderful feeling,
Everything's going my way.
Repeat All the cattel are standing like statues,
They don't turn their heads as they see me ride by.
But a little brown mav'rick is winking her eye.
Repeat All the sounds of the earth are like music,
All the sounds of the earth are like music,
The breeze is so busy it don't miss a tree,
And an ol' Weepin' Willer is laughin' at me.

"Oh! No! (Please Don't Go)"

"Oh! No! (Please Don't Go)"


I love you
Yeah
Babe, I love you so
I want you to know
That I'm going to miss your love
The minute you walk out that door

So please don't go
Don't go
Don't go away
Please don't go
Don't go
I'm begging you to stay
If you leave
At least in my lifetime
I've had one dream come true
I was blessed to be loved
By someone as wonderful as you

Hey, hey, hey
Yeah
Babe, I love you so
I, I want yo to know
That I'm going to miss your love
The minute you walk out that door
So please don't go
Don't go
Don't go away
Hey, hey, hey
I need your love
I'm down on my knees
Beggin' please, please, please
Don't go
Don't you hear me baby

Please don't go

Don't leave me now
Oh, no, no, no, no
Please don't go
I want you to know
That I, I, I, love you so
Don't leave me baby
Please don't go

"Old Devil Moon"

"Old Devil Moon"


I look at you and suddenly
Something in your eyes I see
Soon begins bewitching me

It's that old devil moon
That you stole from the skies
It's that old devil moon
In your eyes

You and your glance
Make this romance
Too hot to handle

Stars in the night
Blazin' their light
Can't hold a candle
To your razzle dazzle

You've got me flyin'
High and wide
On a magic carpet ride
Full of butterflies inside

Wanna cry, wanna croon
Wanna laugh like a loon
It's that old devil moon
In your eyes

Just when I think I'm
Free as a dove
Old devil moon
Deep in your eyes
Blinds me with love

You and your glance
Make this romance
Too hot to handle

Stars in the night
Blazin' their light
Can't hold a candle
To your razzle dazzle

You've got me flyin'
High and wide
On a magic carpet ride
Full of butterflies inside

Wanna cry, wanna croon
Wanna laugh like a loon
It's that old devil moon
In your eyes

Just when I think I'm
Free as a dove
Old devil moon
Old devil moon
Old devil moon
Blinds me with love

"One More Ride On The Merry-Go-Round"

"One More Ride On The Merry-Go-Round"


Look at the world I have conquered
I've won every spin of the wheel
I get everything I go after
They ask me how does it feel

I tell them that I'd trade the moon
For a string with an orange balloon
And the days when my only dream
Was a dish of vanilla ice cream

Give me one more chance at the midway
Let me laugh and be gay as a clown
Give me back the world I remember
One more ride on the merry go round

I do my shopping in Paris
My clothes are Balmain and Dior
I have money to buy friends and lovers
Well, isn't that what it's for?

But when I go to my bedroom
And stare at my hand painted sky
I think of a world far behind me
A world that my money can't buy

Give me one more chance at the midway
Let me dance with my feet off the ground
Give me back the world I remember
One more ride on the merry go round

One more ride on the merry go round
One more ride on the merry go round
One more ride on the merry go round

"Our Love Is Here To Stay"

"Our Love Is Here To Stay"


The more I read the papers
The less I comprehend
The world with all it's capers
And how it all will end
Nothing seems to be lasting
But that isn't our affair
We've got something permanent
I mean in the way we care

It's very clear
Our love is here to stay
Not for a year
But ever and a day
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies
And in time may go
But, oh my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay

"Pass Me By"

"Pass Me By"


I got me ten fine toes to wiggle in the sand
Lots of idle fingers snap to my command
A loverly pair of heels that kick to beat the band

Contemplating, nature can be fascinating
Add to these a nose that I can thumb
And a mouth by gum have I

To tell the whole darn world
If you don't happen to like it, deal me out
Thank you, kindly pass me by

Pass me by, pass me by
If you don't happen to like it pass me by

Lots of idle fingers snap to my command
Contemplating, nature can be fascinating

I'll tell the whole darn world
If you don't happen to like it, deal me out
Thank you, kindly pass me by

Pass me by, pass me by
If you don't happen to like it pass me by

I got me ten fine toes to wiggle in the sand
Lots of idle fingers snap to my command
A loverly pair of heels that kick to beat the band

Contemplating, nature can be fascinating
Add to these a nose that I can thumb
And a mouth by gum have I

To tell the whole darn world
If you don't happen to like it, deal me out
Thank you, kindly pass me by

Pass me by, pass me by
If you don't happen to like it pass me by

"Please Send Me Someone To Love"

"Please Send Me Someone To Love"


Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace of mind
But, if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love

Show all the world how to get along
Peace will enter when hate is gone
But, if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love

I lay awake night and ponder world troubles
My answer is always the same
That unless men put an end to all of this
Hate will put the world in a flame, (oh) what a shame
Just because I'm in misery
I'm not begging for no sympathy
But if it's not asking too much
Just send me someone to love

Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace of mind
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love

Learn to love me or leave me, either one you wanna do
Learn to love me or leave me, either one you wanna do
Because strange things are happenin'
Babe, an' somethin' might happen to you

If you know you don't love me, why don't you let me be?
If you know you don't love me, why don't you let me be?
Because it's better to be without you, then to live on in misery

Hey

Midnight find me cryin', daylight find me cryin', too
Midnight find me cryin', daylight find me cryin', too
You better change your ways pretty baby or somethin' might happen to you
