"The Japanese Farewell Song"

"The Japanese Farewell Song"

The time has come for us to say sayonara
my heart will always be yours for eternity
I knew some time we'd have to say sayonara
please promise that you'll be returning someday to me

I'll remember our romance until the day that I die
I'll see your face in the moon and stars in the sky
so, hold me close before you say sayonara
and promise that you'll always keep me near to your heart

I'll remember our romance until the day that I die
I'll see your face in the moon and stars in the sky
so, hold me close before you say sayonara
and promise that you'll always keep me near to your heart
always keep me near to your heart

"The Lonesome Road"

"The Lonesome Road"

look down, look down
that lonesome road
before you travel on
look up, look up
and see you maker
for Gabriel blows his horn

I get weary toting such a load
traveling down that lonesome road
look down, look down
that lonesome road
before you travel on
look down, look down
that lonesome road
before you travel on

look up, look up
and see you maker
for Gabriel blows his horn

I get weary toting such a load
traveling down that lonesome road
look down, look down
that lonesome road
before you travel on
look down, look down
that lonesome road
before you travel on

"The Riddle Song"

"The Riddle Song"

I gave my love a cherry that had no stone
I gave my love a chicken that had no bone
I gave my love a ring that had no end
I gave my love a baby with no cryin'

How can there be a cherry that has no stone
How can there be a chicken that has no bone
How can there be a ring that has no end
How can there be a baby with no cryin'

A cherry when it's bloomin', it has no stone
A chicken when it's pippin' ain't got no bone
A ring when it's rollin', it has no end
And oh, a baby when it's sleepin', there's no cryin'

A baby when it's sleepin'
There's no cryin'

"The Song From Moulin Rouge"

"The Song From Moulin Rouge"

Whenever you kiss
I worry and wonder
Your lips maybe near
but where is your heart
It's always like this
I worry and wonder
You're close to me here
but where is your heart

It's a sad thing to realize
that you have a heart that never melts
when we kiss do your close you eyes
pretending that I'm someone else
You must break the spell
this cloud that I'm under
So please won't you tell
darling where is your heart

It's a sad thing to realize
that you have a heart that never melts
when we kiss do your close you eyes
pretending that I'm someone else
You must break the spell
this cloud that I'm under
So please won't you tell
darling where is your heart

"The Song Is Ended"

"The Song Is Ended"

The song is ended
But the melody lingers on
you and the sun are gone
but the melody lingers on

The night was splendid
and the melody seemed to say
O, summer will pass away
Take your happiness while you may
There beneath the light of the moon
We sang a love song that ended too soon
The moon descended and I found at the break of dawn
That you and the sun are gone
but the melody lingers on
but the melody lingers on
That you and the sun are gone
but the melody lingers on

The night was splendid
and the melody seemed to say
O, summer will pass away
Take your happiness while you may
There beneath the light of the moon
We sang a love song that ended too soon
The moon descended and I found at the break of dawn
That you and the sun are gone
but the melody lingers on

"The Twist"

come on baby, let's try that twist
come on baby, let's try that twist
let me take you by the hand honey
and it goes like this

all you got to do is, go round
everybody's doing it, baby, go round

mother's just sleeping
daddy ain't around
mother's upstairs sleeping

till we tear the house down

look at her trying to go around
she's going around
everybody's goind around and around

round and round

around and around

"The Wayward Wind"

"The Wayward Wind"

O, the wayward wind is a restless wind
Is a restless wind that yearns to wander
On the eye was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind

And a lovely shack by a railroad track
I spent my younger days
and I guess the sound of the outward bound
made me a slave to my wandering days
and the wayward wind

O, the wayward wind is a restless wind
Is a restless wind that yearns to wander
On the eye was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind

I met her there in a border town
We vowed we'd never part
though I tried my best to settle down
now she's alone with the broken heart

O, the wayward wind is a restless wind
Is a restless wind that yearns to wander
On the eye was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind

"There I've Said It Again"

"There I've Said It Again"

(love you, love you)
I love you, there’s nothing to hide
It’s better than burning inside
I love you, no use to pretend
There I’ve said it again
I’ve said it, what more can I say
Believe me, There’s no other way
I just love you and will to the end
There I’ve said it again

I tried to drum up,
A frase that would sum up
All that I feel, that I feel for you
But what good are frazes
The thought that amazes
Is you love me and it’s so heavenly
Forgive me, for wanting you so
There’s one thing I want you to know
[?] and that I love you so
Heaven knows when
There I’ve said it again
There I’ve said it again

"There'll Be No Second Time"

"There'll Be No Second Time"

You done me wrong
I tried to be kind baby
'cause you told me you were mine o mine
But you walked out and left me behind
So there'll be no second time

I was a fool to give my love
Cause you swore you'd love me
by the stars above
But you walked out and left me behind
So there'll be no second time

Go on laugh and have your fun
Let the good times keep rollin' on
There'll come a day
when you have to pay
for everything that you have done

You can cry, you can rave
Try to show you love me
in a million ways
But you walked out and left me behind
So there'll be no second time

Go on laugh and have some fun
Let the good times keep rollin' on
There'll come a day
when you have to pay
for everything that you have done

Listen to me
You can cry, you can rave
Try to show you love me
in a million ways
But you walked out and left me behind
So there'll be no second time

There certainly will be
no second time

"These Foolish Things"

"These Foolish Things"

A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you

A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumblin' words that told you what my heart meant
A fairground's painted swings
These foolish things remind me of you

You came, you saw, you conquered me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow this had to be

The winds of March that make my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings but who's to answer?
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things remind me of you

let me tell you
first daffodils and all excited cables
and candlelights on little corner tables
and still my heart has wings
These foolish things
Remind me of you

The park at evening and scented roses
and waiters whistling as the last bar closes
the beauty that is spring springs

How strange, how sweet, to find you still
These things are dear to me
They seem to bring you so near to me

The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations
Silk stockings thrown aside dance invitations
Oh how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
These foolish things
Remind me of you
