"The Wearing Of The Green"

"The Wearing Of The Green"


Oh, Paddy dear, and did you hear
The news that's going round?
The shamrock is forbid by law
To grow on Irish ground!
St. Patrick's Day no more we'll keep,
His color can't be seen,
For there's a bloomin' law agin'
The wearing of the green.
I met with Napper Tandy
And he took me by the hand,
And he said, "How's poor old Ireland
And how does she stand?"
"She's the most distressful country
That ever yet was seen;
They're hanging men and women there
For wearing of the green."

Then since the color we must wear
Is England's cruel red,
Sure Ireland's songs will ne'er forget
The blood that they have shed.
You may take the shamrock from your hat now,
Cast it on the sod,
But 'twill take root and flourish still,
Tho' under foot it's trod.
When the law can stop the blades of green
From growing as they grow,
And when the leaves in summertime
Their verdue dare not show,
Then I will change the color that I
Wear in my canteen;
But 'till that day, please God, I'll stick
To wearing of the green

"The Wind Beneath My Wings"

"The Wind Beneath My Wings"


Ohhhh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strain.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.

Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings

"Them There Eyes"

"Them There Eyes"


I fell in love with you the first time I looked into
Them there eyes
You've got a certain lil' cute way of flirtin' with
Them there eyes
They make me feel so happy
They make me feel so blue
Stallin'
No stallin'
Fallin' in a great big way for you

My heart is jumpin'
You sure started somethin with
Them there eyes
You'd better watch out little brown eyes if you're wise
They sparkle
They bubble
They're gonna get you in a whole lot of trouble
You're overworkin' them
There's danger lurkin' in
Them there eyes

I fell in love with you the first time I looked into
Them there eyes
You've got a certain lil' cute way of flirtin' with
Them there eyes
They make me feel so happy
They make me feel so blue
Stallin'
No stallin'
Fallin' in a great big way for you

My heart is jumpin'
You sure started somethin with
Them there eyes
You'd better watch out little brown eyes if you're wise
They sparkle
They bubble
They're gonna get you in a whole lot of trouble
You're overworkin' them
There's danger lurkin' in
Them there eyes

"There Is No Greater Love"

"There Is No Greater Love"


There is no greater love
Thank what I feel for you
No sweeter song
No heart so true

There is no greater thrill
Than what you bring to me
No sweeter song
Than what you sing, sing to me

You're the sweetest thing
That I've ever known
And to thin that you are mine
You are mine alone

There is no greater love
In all the world, it's true
No greater love
Thank what I feel for you

"There'll Be Another Spring"

"There'll Be Another Spring"


Don't cry, there'll be another spring
I know our hearts will dance again
And sing again, so wait for me till then

Be glad the bird is on the wing
Another time to love
And laugh with me, just wait and see

I love you now
And I'll love you forever
Oh don't be sad
We'll surely be together

For the sky is bluer overhead
If you will just believe in me
There'll be another spring

"There's A Small Hotel"

"There's A Small Hotel"


I'd like to get away, Junior
Somewhere alone with you
It could be oh, so gay, Junior
You need a laugh
Or two

A certain place I know, Frankie
Where funny people can have fun
That's where the two will go
Darling

Before you can count up
One, two, three
For there's a small hotel
With a wishing well

I wish that we were there together
There's a bridal suite
One room bright and neat
Complete for us to
Share together

Looking through the window
You can see a distant steeple
Not a sign of people who
Wants people?
When the steeple bell says
"Good night, sleep well,"
We'll thank the small hotel
Together

We'll creep into our little shell
And we will thank the small hotel together

"Things Are Swingin'"

"Things Are Swingin'"


Things are swingin', birds are singin'
And just what do you think those bells are doin' but ringin'?
'Cause they have to ring to make this whole thing rhyme
And you know that things are swingin' all the time

If the news is what the blues is
Then we'd better just practice up on our ones and twoses
'Cause where love is, you can always find a rhyme
And where love is, things are swingin' all the time

It's as simple as, as a dimple
Just remember that
You can find some brand new swingin' ideas
Underneath your hat

So keep countin', keep it mountin'
Till you think it must be Ponce de Leon's fountain
Yes, the fountain of youth, for those who know the score
Means that things will keep on swingin' for evermore

Like an ocean that's in motion
Like the wind that's blowin' the boat right in to shore
It's the livin'est thing to live and breathe
And keep on laughin' up your sleeve

Things are swingin' and they'll keep swingin' some more
Yes, things are swingin' and they'll keep swingin' some more
Let's keep on swingin' and swing right out the door

"Till There Was You"

"Till There Was You"


There were bells on a hill
But I never heard them ringing
No I never heard them at all
Till there was you

There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No I never saw them at all
Till there was you

Then there was music and there were wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and you

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you

Then there was music, wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and you

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you

"Too Close For Comfort"

"Too Close For Comfort"


Those eyes that smile
My type, my style

Be wise, be smart
Behave, my heart
Don't upset your cart
When he's so close

Be soft, be sweet
But be discreet
Don't go off your feet
He's so close for comfort

Too close, too close for comfort
Please, not again
Too close, too close to know
Just when to say, "When"

Be firm, be fair
Be sure, beware
On your guard, take care
While there's such temptation

One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
He's much too close for comfort now

Be wise, be smart
Take care, beware
Be soft, be sweet
Be nice, discreet

Be calm, be cool
Don't be a fool
You'll learn in school
Oh, it's such temptation

One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
He's much too close for comfort now

"Unforgettable"

"Unforgettable"


Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable though near or far

Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more
Unforgettable in every way

And forever more, that's how you'll stay

That's why, darling, it's incredible

That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too


No never before 
has someone been more
Unforgettable in every way

And forever more, that's how you'll stay

That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable

Thinks that I am unforgettable too
