"Red Sails In The Sunset"

"Red Sails In The Sunset"



(Oh come back to me, Oh come back to me,
Red Sailors, Red Sailors, bring my love to me!)

'Twas down where fisher-folk gather,
I wandered far from the throng,
I heard a fisher-girl singing,
And this refrain was her song . . .

(Oh O'oo!)

Red sails in the sunset,
Way out on the sea,
Oh carry my loved one
Home safely to me . . .

He sailed at the dawning,
All day I've been blue,
Red sails in the sunset,

I'm trusting in you . . .

Swift wings you must borrow,
Make straight for the shore,
We marry tomorrow,
And he goes sailin' no more . . .

Red sails in the sunset,
Way out on the sea,
Oh carry my loved one
Home safely to me . . .

Oh carry my loved one
Home safely to me . . .

"Round And Round"

"Round And Round"



Find a wheel and it goes round, round, round
As it skims along with a happy sound
As it goes along the ground, ground, ground
Till it leads you to the one you love

Then your love will hold you round, round, round
In your heart's a song with a brand new song
And your head goes spinning round, round, round
'cause you've found what you've been dreamin' of

In the night you see the oval moon
Going round and round in tune
And the ball of sun in the day
Makes a girl and boy wanna say

Find a ring and put it round, round, round
And with ties so strong that two hearts are bound
Put it on the one you've found, found, found
For you know that this is really love

Find a wheel and it goes round, round, round
As it skims along with a happy sound
As it goes along the ground, ground, ground
Till it leads you to the one you love

Then your love, you'll hold her round, round, round
In your heart's a song with a brand new song
And your head goes spinning round, round, round
'cause you've found what you've been dreamin' of

In the night you see the oval moon
Going round and round in tune
And the ball of sun in the day
Makes a girl and boy wanna say

Find a ring and put it round, round, round
And with ties so strong your two hearts are bound
Put it on the one you've found, found, found
For you know that this is really love

Find a ring, ptu it on
For you know that this is really love, really love,
Really love

"Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer"

"Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer"


What kind of a name is rudolph
For a reindeer?
What kind of a name is rudolph
For a reindeer?
Dear, dear, dear deer!

You know dasher an' dancer,
An' prancer an' vixen,
Comet an' cupid, an' donner an' blitzen,
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?

What kind of a name is rudolph
For a 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,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
You'll go down in history.

Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
You'll go down, down, down, down, down,
In history.

Sul mare luccica l'astro d'argento
Placida é l'onda
Prospero il vento

Placida é l'onda
Prospero il vento

Venite all'argine
Barchette mie

Breezes so tender,
Make every dancing wave,
Gladly surrender!

Nights are pure ecstasy,

"Say It Isn't So / Blue Skies / Here's That Rainy Day"

"Say It Isn't So / Blue Skies / Here's That Rainy Day"


Sing to me, Mr. C., sing to me
the song that I've been waiting to hear,
just for me, Mr. C., just for me,
and everybody else will disappear...

Say it isn't so, say it isn't so
everyone is sayin' you don't love me
say it isn't so!

Everywhere I go
everyone I know
whispers that you're growin' tired of me
say it isn't so!

People say that you
found somebody new
and it won't be long before you leave me
say it isn't true!

Say that everything is still OK
that's all I want to know
and what they're sayin'
say it isn't so!

[instrumental break]

...and it won't be long before you leave me
say it isn't true!

Say that everything is still OK
that's all I want to know
and what they're sayin'
say it isn't so!

Blue skies, smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see
Blue birds singin' a song
Nothin' but blue birds all day long!

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never say things goin' so right
Noticin' the days hurryin' by
When you're in love, my, my how they fly!

Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on!

[instrumental break]

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never say things goin' so right
Noticin' the days hurryin' by
When you're in love, my, my how they fly!

Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on!

Maybe I should have saved
those left-over dreams
funny, but here's that rainy day!

Here's that rainy day
they told me about
and I laughed at the thought
that it might turn out this way!

Where is that worn-out wish
that I threw aside,
after it brought my lover near?

Funny how love becomes
a cold rainy day
funny, that rainy day is here!

[instrumental break]

Funny how love becomes
a cold rainy day
funny...
that rainy day is here!

"Say You're Mine Again"

"Say You're Mine Again"


Say the sun will never shine again
And say the rose that blooms will never bloom again
But come what may I know I must have you again
My darling, say you're mine again

Say that spring will never come again
And say the chapel bells will never ring again
No matter what will be I must be yours again
So darling, say you're mine again

If I were to lose all the world and its treasures
Who cares, let it be as it may
As long as I have you beside me
I'll always be happy that way

Say I'll never see the rain again
And say I'll never hear a sweet refrain again
And say that I was wrong and I'm to blame again
But darling, say you're mine again

[Instrumental Interlude]

Say I'll never see the rain again
And say I'll never hear a sweet refrain again
And say that I was wrong and I'm to blame again
But darling, say you're mine again
Say you're mine again

"Scarlet Ribbons"

"Scarlet Ribbons"



I peeked in to say goodnight,
And then I heard my child in prayer:
"And for me some scarlet ribbons,
Scarlet ribbons for my hair . . ."

All the stores were closed and shuttered,
All the streets were dark and bare . . .
In our town, no scarlet ribbons,
Not one ribbon for her hair . . .

Through the night my heart was aching,
Just before the dawn was breaking,

I peeked in and on her bed,
In gay profusion lying there,
Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons,
Scarlet ribbons for her hair . . .

If I live to be two hundred,
I will never know from where,
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons,
Scarlet ribbons, for her hair!

"Sing To Me Mr. C."


Sing to me, Mr. C., sing to me...
the song that I've been waiting to hear...

[instrumental]

Just for me, Mr. C., just for me...
and everybody else will disappear...
