"As If You Read My Mind"

"As If You Read My Mind"


Close your eyes ‘til the morning
Close your eyes ‘til the early dew
Get inside what you've been missing
Are the very first words that I heard coming from you

Take a chance on the secret
That you hide for beneath your dreams
Use your wildest imagination
You just tell me what it is and I will make it be

As if you read my mind
As if you touched my soul
As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go

Let's get high on the happy
With a toast to you and me
Love is here just for the giving
And between us we've got all the love we'll ever need

As if you read my mind
As if you touched my soul
As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go

As if you read my mind
As if you touched my soul
As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go

As if you read my mind
As if you touched my soul
As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go

As if you read my mind
As if you touched my soul
As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go

"At Last"

"At Last"


At last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song

At last
The sky above is blue
My heart was wrapped in clover
The night I looked at you

I found a dream, that I could speak to
A dream that I, can call my own
I found a thrill, to press my cheek to
A thrill that I, have never ever known

You, you smiled
And then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last

I found a dream, I found a dream
That I could speak to, baby
A dream that I, can definitely call my own
I found a thrill, I found a thrill
To press my cheek to, to press my cheek to
A thrill that I, have never ever known

You smiled, you smiled, baby
And then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for you are mine
At last
You are mine at last
At last
You're mine, baby

"Baby Don't You Do It"

"Baby Don't You Do It"


Don't you do it, don't break my heart,
Oh Babe, don't you do it, don't
Don't break my heart
Don't do it babe
Don't you break my heart

'Cause I sacrifice to make you happy
Get nothin' for myself
Now you wanna leave me
For the love of someone else
My pride is all gone, whether right or wrong
I believe, baby, you'd better keep on keepin' on
Girl, I try to do my best
Girl, I try to do my best, don't do it babe
Don't break my heart, oh don't do it baby
Don't break my heart

My biggest mistake was lovin' you too much
And lettin' you know
'Cause now you've got me where you want me
And you're gonna let me go
My heart was made glad when you strolled, you see
Heartaches and misery you've been causin' me
Girl, I try to do my best
Girl, I try to do my best
Don't you do it, don't break my heart
Go down to the river and there I'll be
I'm gonna jump in, baby, if you don't see by me
Open up your eyes; can't you see I love you?
Open up your heart; can't you see I need you?
I'm no good without you, can't go on without you
Life's no good without you, what'm I gonna do without you?
Baby don't do it, don't you break my heart
Don't you do it, baby, don't you break my heart
What'm I gonna do without you?
Got to go on, baby
Baby don't you do it

"Bang Bang"
(originally by Cher)

"Bang Bang"
(originally by Cher)



She was five and I was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
I wore black and she wore white
She would always win the fight

Bang bang she shot me down
Bang bang I hit the ground
Bang bang that awful sound
Bang bang my baby shot me down

Seasons came and changed the time
I grew up, I called her mine
She would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play

Bang bang I shot you down
Bang bang you hit the ground
Bang bang that awful sound
Bang bang I used to shoot you down

The music played and people sang
And just for me the church bells rang

Hey!
Bang bang bang bang
Hey!
Bang bang bang bang
Hey!
Bang bang bang bang
Yeah!
Bang bang bang bang

Now she's gone I don't know why
'Till this day some times I cry
She didn't even say goodbye
She didn't take the time to lie

Bang bang she shot me down
Bang bang I hit the ground
Bang bang that awful sound
Bang bang my baby shot me down

"Be Cool, Be Calm (And Keep Yourself Together)"

"Be Cool, Be Calm (And Keep Yourself Together)"


Girl I've been crying ever since you left
My mama told me get a hold of yourself and
Be Cool, Be Calm And Keep Yourself Together
She said
Be Cool, Be Calm And Keep Yourself Together

Sugar plum you really gone
And it just don't help to cry
So I wipe my tears away the other day
And hung my handkerchief up to dry

Then I changed my style put on a smile
And went out to face the world
The smile I wear say ha I don't care
That I just lost my girl

But I still get that old yearning
Can't be cool when my heart is burning
I still get that old feeling
Can't be calm when my head is reeling

I say, Mother dear, see here see here
Tell me now what shall I do
Can't have that girl and I love her true
She said but babes give up be man enough

To Be Cool, Calm And Keep Yourself Together
That what my mama said
Be Cool, Calm And Keep Yourself Together

Sugar pie you said goodbye
And I cried myself to sleep
That's when my mama said
Don't loose your head son
It just don't help to weep

Now I'm the great pretender
I don't surrender
To what I feel inside
I'm the life of the crowd
And ha I love fun lots
But it's a big disguise

'Cause I still hear my heart pounding
Hard to be cool when you come around me
I still hear my heart purring
Hard to ne calm when my inside's stirring

I say, Mother dear, see here see here
Tell me now what way to go
Can't have that girl and I love her so
She said whenever you're blue whatever you do

Be Cool, Calm And Keep Yourself Together
That what my mama said
Be Cool, Calm And Keep Yourself Together
Maintain yourself

"Bedtime For Toys"

"Bedtime For Toys"


Close your eyes, beddy bye tin soldier,
Mommy says that it's time for sleep,
If my folks were wiser and older,
They'd know kids and toys don't need sleep.

Don't be bad little cotton dolly,
See how nice Mickey Mouse sleeps now?
Even my brass drummer boy has stopped all his noise,
Cause he knows it's past bedtime for toys.

[Speaking]
Ya know, every Christmas Santa Claus goes all over the world with his reindeer,
sled, and a big bag of toys and he'll come to your house this year too.
But sometimes, just sometimes, he doesn't have enough time to see every little boy and girl because the world is so big.
So maybe we should sing a song for all the children that Santa didn't visit.

Bless the child who has no tin soldier,
No brass drummer boy to put to bed.
He will still grow wiser and older,
Loving one small rag doll instead.

He won't have a cotton dolly,
Mickey Mouse won't come to his house.
Hold that rag doll to your heart, nothing can destroy
The beauty one shall find in one small toy.

"Beyond The Sea"
(originally by Charles Trenet)

"Beyond The Sea"
(originally by Charles Trenet)



Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailin'

Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms
I'd go sailin'

It's far beyond the stars
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon

We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailin'

I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet (I know we'll meet) beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailin'

"Big Brother"

"Big Brother"


Your name is big brother
You say that you're watching me on the tele,
Seeing me go nowhere,
Your name is big brother,
You say that you're tired of me protesting,
Children dying everyday,
My name is nobody
But I can't wait to see your face inside my door

Your name is big brother
You say that you got me all in your notebook,
Writing it down everyday,
Your name is I'll see ya,
I'll change if you vote me in as the pres,
The President of your soul
I live in the ghetto,
You just come to visit me 'round election time

I live in the ghetto,
Someday I will move on my feet to the other side,
My name is secluded,
we live in a house the size of a matchbox,
Roaches live with us wall to wall,

You've killed all our leaders,
I don't even have to do nothin' to you
You'll cause your own country to fall
